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.

The steering locks up!!!!!!!!!!! many times, i just replaced the steering ump and fluid and still locks up. air bag light is always on, mechanic cannot fix

While driving usually above 60 mph after hitting a bump in the road the vehicle shakes violently and becomes uncontrollable. i have to slow down suddenly to approximately 45 mph to get it to stop. this usually happens on the highway.

I was coming out of the hills after a day of hunting and as i made it back to town luckly going slowly i turned the corner and my driver side tie rod end broke. leaving my truck stranded in a small town about 5 miles from my camp. took my truck to the local shop the next day cause this happend on a sunday and got it fixed. the mecanic at the local shop told me this was a recalled part. so after returning home from my hunting trip i looked it up and it is a recalled part on many dodge vehicles. why was i not notified? if this happend at 65 miles an hour my 4 kids probley wouldent have a father today. i have a recite for the work done. not only do i want my money back and compensation for my time i also would like to be notified of any ohter recalls. this dodge of mine is a pavement pounder. it drives freeways only most of the year and only a couple weeks out of the year driives moutain roads during hunting season to get me to and from my locations ...

At just about any speed , if you hit the right bump, the left front shakes out of control have spent $1000's of my own money trying to correct , the death wobble.

The vehicle violently shakes upon encountering any bump at speeds ranging from 65 to 75 mph. speed must be dramatically reduced in order to regain control of the steering. motor failed prematurely at 87000 miles. 5.7 hemi.

When driving on interstate 74 just west of goodfield, illinois on 7-25-15, i sped up to about 60 mph and all of a sudden the steering and front end started to shake and it shook until i lowered the speed down under 50 mph and continued on for about 7-8 miles. when returning i didn't get back up to 60 mph. this vehicle has had this problem but not as great since i bought it back in november of 2013.

Driving at approximately 45mph when steering wheel began shaking. started pulling to the left and hit curb. could not get vehicle up to speed and steer properly. took to shop who indicated left front tie rod had come loose due to the ball stud being cracked. paid to have replaced.
