Death wobble on highway after hitting a bump in the road. the truck starts shaking and unable to control the vehicle while this is going on. seatbelts will not release once this happens, even when seat belt is retracted all the way.

Front drivers side frame is cracked all the way through the frame beginning at the trac bar bracket. this makes steering extremely dangerous because the steering hardware binds. there was a recall (rcrit-15v541-5721) for trac bar bracket weld failures for vehicles from 2012 through 2014. i believe this is a related issue that seriously affects safety. i've attached five pictures.

Death wobble 11/28/17 you already know what the death wobble is. uncontrollable shaking of the front end making it difficult to stop and steer truck.

Driving on busy pave road crossing bridge my right tire rod dislocated almost causing a bad accident.

Truck continues to experience a "death wobble" issue even after replacing most of the suspension & steering parts and even adding aftermarket "stiffner" and "problem solver" components to the vehicle. chrysler had a recall r16 which covered newer vehicles but should have been applied to these older models as well. the steering components and geometry were largely the same and there is a fundamental design flaw with the geometry of the suspension. symptom: between the speeds of 45 & 70mph, hitting a large pothole or a bridge seam the vehicle will suddenly develop a violent shaking in the front end. this has caused me to almost crash a number of times since i last filed a complaint on this same vehicle a number of years ago. it is difficult to replicate the problem and when it occurs it occurs rapidly and unexpectedly. it is very difficult to control the vehicle when it occurs and applying the brakes to significantly and quickly reduce the vehicles speed is the only way to halt the vibration. i have almost caused several accidents trying to quickly stop the vehicle or to keep it from entering other lanes during ...

Death wobble truck will start shaking violently and uncontrollably when you hit a small bump in the road

Experiencing what people call death wobble. 18 months ago hit a bump on the highway and front end shook very hard, i thought i had a flat tire. nothing found and didn't do it for about a year. this summer it started doing it and became a regular occurrence. starts when hitting a bump above 60 mph. only way to stop it is to slow down to below 30 mph...very scary in highway traffic. once had a tractor trailer veer off the road behind me. had 2 shops look at it and can't find anything obvious. replaced track bar, wheel bearing, stabilizer shock, regular shocks, steering gear and had front end realigned. nothing is fixing it. vehicle is stock height...no modifications.

Death wobble when hitting rough bridge on interstate at 65 mph, and slowing down to about 30 mph to get it to stop, very dangerous when you have to slow down to that speed on the interstate with tractor trailers behind me.

Multiple repairs to the front end suspension of the vehicle, to the point that we are now paying for the repairs and the dealership denying they replaced the most recent track bar on the truck and blame the tires on the truck. i am really tired of running off into a ditch after hitting a bump in the road or steer to miss a pothole. just fix the truck correctly and stop making excuses telling us it is our tires when it is a 4x4 and they cannot put more sturdy parts on the front end or take blame for the steering shaft and gear box when these have been recalled under the death wobble. hub assembly had to be replaced on this truck as well. trying to turn the vehicle into a parking spot and constantly having to back into a space. this death wobble has gone too far. as far as the electrical they cannot find why the dashboard keeps flickering and we keep blowing fuses or bulbs. it is really getting annoying with this truck and all the repairs which we have had to do this vehicle, and yet take responsibility for it.

While driving at 70< hit a small bump and the truck started shakinv violently. only way to stop it was bring the vehicle to a complete. started back out and it worked fine. this has happened several more times. i have went as far as to having the torque convertor replaced with no luck. it does this to me at the speed os 65 to 75 mph.i have been reading and learned its refererd as the death wobble and is caused by faulty suspension and steering components.

After hitting a road imperfection, transition, or bump while driving at freeway speeds (50 to 70 mph), the front end and steering shakes violently. the only solution to stop the violent shake is to rapidly slow my truck to 35 mph or slower and hopefully be able to pull to the side of the freeway. i have nearly been in or have caused accidents on about a dozen occasions. i have replaced tires, shock absorbers, and the steering box and the problem continues to where i believe the truck is not longer safe to operate at freeway speeds. this violent front end / steering shake event has occurred on more than 2 dozen occasions.
