2 Structure problem

Failure Date: 10/30/2009

While driving my 2006 Dodge 1500 megacab truck at 70 mph, the truck started shaking violently and out of control. I held it as straight as I could and applied the brakes. The shaking finally stopped at about 20 mph. This was especially dangerous, because it was in the fast lane of traffic during rush hour. I later read some forums on the internet that labeled this problem the "death wobble. " it appears, from the many experiences described on the forums, that this is a common problem with Dodge.
