This the the second attempt by me to report this problem. it is knwn as the dodge death wobble and this is a dangerous problem not only for the driver of the vehicle as well as anyone else on the highway when this occurs.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wa8fjfmh1pa this the second dodge 200 that i have experienced this with. the vehicle totally loses control and you have to get off the road to stop it. there are countless videos on youtube of it.

At highway speeds of 70mph after hitting the slightest of bumps or bridge joints the front end of the truck would violently shake so bad that i couldn't control it and sent the truck sideways almost flipping it and hitting a tractor trailer but thank god i didnt. my wife and kids were driving it and at 60 hit a bump and she also almost wrecked it with our kids in the truck! its been in the shop and at this point im paying someone else to own it. im a ford guy and stepped out to try something different and am now wasting my hard earned money and im pissed. i want my f250 back.

Dodge death wobble has happened numerous times the last time it broke the tie rod end and threw me off the road
My vehicle has gone into what is described as a "death wobble" on four different occasions, while moving. twice on the freeway, once coming down-hill on a mountain road and the last on a two lane road. we have verbally complained to the dealer to no avail. these incidents have occurred at different speeds and on one we had an unguarded cliff on one side.
My vehicle has repeatedly experienced severe shaking of the front end while traveling at speeds of 65 to 70 mph after hitting a bump such as the transition of a bridge approach slab. i have had the recall check of the tie-rod, and have even tried a beefier tie rod with bracing. the only way to stop the violent shaking is to slow to less than 40 mph. i know this has been a repeated experience of dodge ram drivers based on forum discussions. i have had 2 sets of ball joints replaced as a result of the violent shaking. this last time this occurred, i was with my wife traveling to the coast. the shaking was so severe, we nearly hit a guard rail. i can't hardly believe that dodge has designed such a fatal flaw into a vehicle.
