This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Shaking in steering wheel when brakes applied at higher speeds. Started intermittently at about 12,000-13,000 miles, proceeded to get worse. Husband at first couldn't feel it so I did not take it in. When it got really bad I told my husband to take it for a drive again, he said he thought it was the rotors to take it in to the dealer. Sure enough I had warped rotors which were changed on June 4, 2010. I am not the only person I know to have this problem at such low miles on a Dodge vehicle. I have informed them to notify you.
On one occasion, my vehicle swerved without warning into the oncoming traffic lane, like being blown by a strong gust of wind. On another occasion, the vehicle spontaneously started pulling and my wife had to fight it to get it to pull safely to the shoulder. When I arrived I tried it and experienced the same problem. The dealer diagnosed it as a faulty clockspring & steering wheel position sensor. The electronic stability program had improperly sensed the steering wheel position and had been trying to compensate. While replacement of the said parts resolved the problem, my family was lucky to have avoided a serious accident when the vehicle swerved into the oncoming traffic lane.
