Shacking and unable to control and no one till this day??? Why ? I'm sorry but dodge chrysler nor any dealer ship has my air bag and 98% of parts in stock... So now what??? I spent a lot of much $$$$...
I first noticed it driving the car home from the dealership. I felt as though the front tires were moving in different directions at the same time and there is a metallic sound in the front end (can only hear when your next to barriers or bridges on the highway). The car drift is so bad I feel I will be pulled over for dui!!!!
