Recently reported EQUIPMENT problems on 2008 Dodge Ram 2500

Went to take off from a stoplight and when i accelerated to 1500 rpm the exhaust brake engaged and prevented me from increasing speed. i had to let off the accelerator and gently accelerate in order to get the truck moving. once going, anytime i tried to increase speed, the exhaust brake would engage and slow down the vehicle. i had to pull off the road, shut off the vehicle, and then restart. this seemed to take care of the problem.. it only happened once but it was at a busy intersection. *tr

I own an 08 dodge ram 2500 with approx 970 miles on the vehicle. after hitting a series of road bumps, the front end of the vehicle began to violently vibrate and wobble. i could barely control the vehicle due to a near lack of steering control. after completely stopping the vehicle, i resumed speed and the vehicle drove normally. when i got home i did an internet search on my vehicle symptoms and found that "dodge death wobble" yielded over 35k hits. there is a systemic problem with large ram trucks that, according to my research is not being adequately addressed. the dealer replaced the steering stabilizer - a common replacement according to my research. symptoms, however, continue to exist after this part is replaced - another common theme according to my research. *tr
