My 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 steering shudders uncontrolably when you hit a bump at highway speeds. Directional control is difficultwhile this is happening. The dealership says that one other customer is having the same problem. They thought that they had fixed it by replacing the steering dampener, but he had it happen again and spun out of control.
