Tl* the contact owns a 2007 dodge ram 2500. the contact stated that the copper wiring used in all four doors was faulty, which caused the door locks to malfunction and become unsecured. the vehicle was taken to jones ford wickenburg (555 e wickenburg way, wickenburg, az 85390, (844) 524-1981) where it was diagnosed that the wire harnesses needed to be repaired. in addition, while driving various speeds, a popping noise was heard from the front of the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who replaced the upper and lower ball joints, wheel bearings, power steering gear box, pitman arm, and the steering stabilizer brace; however, the failure continued. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 178,000.

Death wobble / as i was coming down on ramp to i-205 after leaving hannah dodge as speed reached 55 i hit a small bump in pave and truck shook so violently i had to hit brakes as vehicle pulled left then right to shoulder where i came to a stop. this first happened as i reached 164th and hwy. 14 at 64 mph and hit asphalt patch on overpass and was steering to the left lane when truck started shuddering violently and pulling to right as i hit brakes. luckily on both occasions no traffic was to my right or behind me or i'm sure an accident could have occurred.

The passenger track bar mount and shock mount has fractures in the welds to the axle housing. the shock bracket underneath wear the bottom of the passenger shock bolts in is completely broken and the bottom of the shock is just floating with no stability. this is a factory weld and the 2013-2014s have the same issue but are the only ones with an official recall. it's been reported on many previous years and chrysler/dodge will not fix it. i am unable to take a picture of the the shock bolt as it is blocked by the track bar mount, but i did get the track bar mount clearly with the major fractures. there are more on the inner side of the passenger axle housing. this creates a major safety issue if it completely fails.

My 2007 dodge 2500 truck with a 5.9 diesel has experienced, what has been widely known as, death wobble. i would describe this as an uncontrollable loss of control when going over a bump or (more especially) an uneven change in the roadway like when going over overpasses or bridges. this is prevalent on the highway at speeds of 60 mph plus. my truck currently only has 70,000 miles and has been impeccably maintained. the entire truck and steering shakes and the only way to stay alive is to brake heavily until it stops, usually at 30 to 40 mph. this is not safe in any way, but especially on the highway. the truck has had this issue for years and happens without warning. i took the truck to my dealership and they said off the record, "sorry, we know it happens, but we have no solution." death wobble...everyone knows about it. not gonna fix it. hhmmmmm.

During highway driving 60mph my truck developed "death wobble" the steering wheel was shaking violently side to side, i was unable to gain control until the truck was below 15mph. this happened several occasions thereafter anywhere from 40-65mph. i took the truck to the dealership, which determined everything was fine as far as recall concerns go, i explained that there was something wrong weather it was recall or not, and i wish to have it fixed. they expressed the truck was fine and refused to look further into it. there was a recall on the front end steering linkage which they also stated was not a problem. the "death wobble" returned on several occasions until from 12-4-17 to about 2-10-2017 when it caused me to leave the road pulling a trailer nearly crashing into a bridge support. after giving up on the dealer i investigated myself and found that the front end traction bar link was bad, this allowed the axle to move side to side. with the steering mounted to the frame, and the axle moving this caused the steering drag link to violently push/pull on the steering causing the potential deadly condition essentially the steering was ...

Driving about 65 mph hit a bump on interstate and truck shook violently and almost hit concrete wall. had track bar bushings replaced that was supposed to be the fix just to have the same thing happen again two weeks later taking me off the interstate once again. not sure what to have done next before it kills me or someone else!

I have been having a problem that is know as (the death wobble ) when driving at 50 miles per hour or higher when hitting a bump in the road the truck vibrates so bad the you have a hard time controlling it.this has been happening since 2014. i have changed numerous parts in the steering to solve this problem to no avail. when will there be a recall on this issue before someone is killed.

Experienced severe/uncontrollable "death wobble" after running over pothole on frwy. at 70-75mph. occurred south of tucson, az. and 6-7 times again on way to dallas after a road imperfections was encountered. had to keep speed below 65mph and reduced air in front tires to mitigate severity of resulting wobble. each time the wobble occurred i had to quickly reduce speed to below 30mph to regain control of truck. dodge dealership in dallas, tx. determined the upper and lower ball joints in front end were bad and replaced them. the vehicle had less than 57k miles. cost of ball joint replacement ~$1k.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 dodge ram 2500. while driving approximately 65 mph, the vehicle shook uncontrollably. the contact mentioned that the steering wheel was difficult to turn. the vehicle was taken to a dealer, but was unable to be diagnosed. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but the diagnosis was unknown. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 109,000.

07 mega cab 4x4 has the well known "death wobble" that chrysler doesn't want to acknowledge. when traveling over 55 and hit bumps, potholes, or bridge joints the condition starts and doesn't stop until slowed to less than 20 mph. this has happened on numerous occasions. have spent several thousand dollars trying to fix to no avail. truck only had 52500 miles when this started. i have replaced steering system with "new improved" version, replaced shocks, track bar bushings, steering stabilizer, steering gear box stabilizer, tires. truck has only been driven 800 miles in the last 2 years due to the problem and only driven that far because when it started i was 500 miles from home. couple this with the passenger side air bag recall that said do not drive until replaced and it took a year to get parts. to say i am not happy with chrysler would be an understatement. the "death wobble" is very serious and after thinking i had it fixed it nearly caused a major wreck on a 4 lane interstate while pulling a 26' trailer loaded with atv's, running 65 mph and ran over an expansion joint ...

In motion on hwy at 55-60 mph coming out of a right turn. right side tires entered a dip in the road and heard a metal bang sound. truck began to rock from side to side, up and down violently causing loss of steering control while the whole family screams. braking made it worse. coasting to below 50 mph corrected the rocking. found the electronic sway bar hanging loose below truck. suspension bracket for sway bar was broken at rear bolt location and bent down. dealership states left front ball joints need replacing also and may have contributed to loss of control. dealership said nothing is covered under previous recalls 11v350000 or 13v528000. $3400. estimate.

Driving about 70 mph straight on a highway. hit a small bump in the road. my truck started shaking violently . had to slow down to keep control of my truck and make a complete stop to stop it from shaking.

Typical very scary death wobble after hitting a bump while making a curve at 60 mph. has happened more than once.

At speed over 50 on a interstate highway hitting an expansion joint, bumps or uneven pavement while changing a lane on 2 lane state roadway to pass car (no bumps) truck went into violent front end shaking. created unsafe passing situation while trying to get truck under control. truck is a diesel with 72,000 well cared for miles. when speaking with a chrysler ram tough ?? (my a--)truck dealer , they knew nothing about a "death wobble" . front end replaced except for steering box with front end alignment.
