At highway speeds, the truck can begin shaking violently and become uncontrollable. it is a widely known issue called "death wobble" i almost wrecked, it would have been a collision if it happened in heavy traffic.
Strange vibration in suspension system when reaching speeds between 50 - 70 mph. i am experiencing rough riding as i excellerate to the above speeds on the highway.
Front end/steering shakes when you hit a bump or the road is rough. all most makes the vehicle uncontrolable.
This violently shaking and bouncing of the front end can be reproduced at any imperfection in the highway at 65+ mph. the entire front end of the truck bounces and shakes violently. the only way to stop the out of control shaking is to slam on the brakes and attempt to get to the shoulder of the road. on numerous occasions the traffic following my truck has been forced to take action to avoid plowing into the back end of my truck. dodge should be ashamed of the run around and misdiagnosis of this life threatening issue. i will be reposting each occurrence here.

I was going down a state highway and hit a pothole, when the truck began shaking uncontrollably, i had to slam the brake on to slow down fast because it was shaking so bad. apparently after further investigation this has happened to the vast population that own older model dodges, it even has a name "the death wobble". it had happened to my husband before this, and it happened again to me a few days later.
Traveling at speeds approximately 40 mph and above; when apply brakes abruptly; the steering wheel and front end of the vehicle shake, higher the speed, shaking increases.
