Lets just leave it at that and fix the problem I'm not one to be the guy that tells the spoiler plus its not going to come to that because you all are good people and your going to do the right thing and not have family's out there in death traps.

There is extensive death wobble in my truck and makes it almost impossible to control. I understand this is a common and recognized problem by Dodge/Chrysler for their Dodge ram line. This is dangerous and an identified design flaw. It obviously happens while driving. I have to nearly stop the truck to calm the shaking.

This low mileage (64k) 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 has developed a death wobble. Usual symptoms, hit small bump in road at 60 + mph and shake and shutter until slow to 20-30 mph to regain control. This is extremely dangerous and I do not know what to do about it.

The "Dodge death wobble" is for real. While driving my 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 on the interstate, I went over a small bump in the road. The whole truck began shaking violently. It was extremely hard to control and did not stop shaking until I slowed down to under 20 mph. This is extremely unsafe and Dodge should be forced to fix the problem. This problem has occurred more than five times in my truck.

Ignition and key are defective. Ignition key can be removed from vehicle ignition during vehicle operation. Ignition key fell out of ignition while driving. Ignition key can be removed from ignition while vehicle is running and in motion. Vehicle sometimes does not need the key in the ignition to start the engine. If the vehicle is running the key can be very easily pulled out of the ignition assembly, the key just slips right out of the ignition. Chrysler has been notified and their response is the vehicle is out of warranty. I asked Chrysler customer service to forward the complaint to a higher up person in Chrysler and was told that after my phone call, that was the end of the issue and Chrysler takes no responsibility for the problem concerning a defective ignition switch. I spoke to Chrysler customer service at (800) 334-9200. The approximate incident date is approximate and the problem started six years ago and the problem is ongoing through today. An internet search yields countless other complaints for the same subject matter. The condition is unsafe and please look into the problem. Thank you.

1999 Dodge Ram 1500 drives all over the road, you can't control it. It would be a very good drunk driving simulator. It will just go off one direction or the other when you are driving down the roal with no warning. Very dangerous.

I own a 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 club cab when making right turns the steering either has play or clicks I just had the vehicle serviced and nothing was reported wrong.

On several occasions, I brought the truck to the dealer for a squeal and the steering felt odd. At least 5 u-joints, the track bar, and other front end parts were replaced. Fortunately my dealer kept looking and I had the extended warranty. Why is there no recall on the u joints and other parts?? I know many people with the same problems.

While driving vehicle it steers hard to the left, but has no problem to the right. Dealer has been contacted.
