While driving my 2007 dodge 3500 ram 6.7l dual, 6spd manual, pulling my camper (well within towing limits,) i went over a bump on an overpass. the vehicle began jumping around violently and i left the roadway due to loss of steering and brake function. the even was so violent, my radiator broke, and i lost all of my coolant. my "front end" was destroyed, as well as many systems damaged. the interior of the truck suffered damage as well. there are many noises, vibrations, and smells that have not gone away. i found out that this is a problem so common, that it has a nickname, "the death wobble." i found out that there is a safety recall beginning the year after my model. after some research, my model year has the same parts described in the affected model years. this is a common occurrence, seemingly well known to dodge. i was told by a certified shop that it is not safe to drive. they showed me several aftermarket parts designed to eliminate this problem. the steering system alone was quoted at $3,000 to repair. the radiator ...

When hitting a bump or dip in the road at 65 mph or higher the steering wheel begins shaking violently. i'm told it is referred to as the "death wobble".

As with many others on this web site,randomly after hitting a bump in the road my truck starts to bounce uncontrollably almost running of the road.i have to slow down to a crawl to make it stop.how many people have to complain for this to become a real issue.

We bought the truck out of state from the chrysler dealership in bonham tx and they claimed it was a low mileage truck, with no issues. it had been purchased new from them, all services done and then traded-in for a new truck. we asked to have an outside inspector check it out but was unable to locate one from the small town area within the allotted time they wanted us to pick it up. when we went to get the truck, it went for a short text ride and then completed paperwork and rushed out the door. we had assumed that the dealer did a complete overall inspection and repair of any issues with the truck. on our way back to ca the truck water pump had broke causing the serpentine belt to fall off and loose steering almost causing the truck to wreck. we towed it to a repair facility where they fixed the pump and told us that there may also be a transmission issue. so the next day we went to the closest chrysler dealership to have it checked out. they ok'ed the trans and we purchased an chrysler warranty ...

I am experiencing the 'death wobble' when i hit a bump in the road. front of vehicle wobbles and shakes dangerously and only stops when i slow down. happens when driving the vehicle on any street or highway. i read information about steering or tie rods/stabilization being ineffective on 1999-2008 model trucks. can this be repaired/fixed and will the cost be covered by the manufacturer?

While traveling on the highway, when i'm at highway speeds and i hit a bump in the road the entire front end of the truck shakes and bounces uncontrollably until i slow to around 50 mph. i have had ball joints, tie rods, shocks and steering stabilizer replaced, plus new tires and multiple alignments performed. my master mechanic said non of this will remedy the issue. the y type steering setup is the problem, the dealer told me it needs to be updated to the 09 steering but it's not covered under recall. yet you can no longer even buy the y steering from the dealer the will only sell you the 09 t style. how is this ok? i do not have $265.00 to pay for just the parts never mind labor, because the p.o.s. transmission needed replace "$7500.00" like every other 47re in the world. also 3 out of my 6 seat belts no longer retract or they get stuck halfway out and it takes 10 minutes to get it to work. i would like to at least have the steering and seat belts addressed asap. thank you for your time. sincerely, ...

I received recalls on my vehicle for air bag and steering linkage replacement. when i contacted the dealer to set up the appointment for the recall fixes. i was told they did not have both parts so the appointment was set for about 4-5 weeks later. when the vehicle was taken to the dealership the air bag recall was fixed but they refused to fix the recall on the steering linkage. they stated my truck had the "old dodge part" so that was not covered. this part if fails will cause me to have no steering control. i had a chrysler certified mechanic look at the steering part on my truck and he stated it was so bad he would be scared to drive the vehicle. so even though the steering part is bad to the point of being dangerous dodge is claiming this is not covered under the recall. why would i receive a recall notice?
