1 Front Suspension problem

Failure Date: 07/19/2011

I own a 2007 Dodge mega cab 1500. I purchased the vehicle new and have had this issue almost from the beginning. This wobble has not just happened a couple times, it happens every time it is driven. I have tried to get the death wobble fixed several times. Each time I was told it was fixed but for me to do something else too. I have added a leveling kit, replaced tires to the shops specs, shocks, front steering stabilizer and all of the work the Dodge shop has done. The most recent event is that I picked up my truck from the dealer today from it being in the shop for the same reason I had it in the shop 4 other times. I was told the whole front end was fixed and promised the problem was taken care of. I paid the bill and left. I was 20 minutes away from the dealership and it started again. I pulled over and called the dealer. I was told no one was in service even though they did not close for another 30 minutes and to bring the truck back. The truck had already been there for almost a month. I turned around to go back to the dealer my wife was in front of me in her vehicle and the wobble started again. She moved over 3 lanes of highway because she thought I was going to flip the truck. The front right tire appeared like it was going to shake right off. I returned to the dealer and was told the only thing they could do was have me leave it again and someone would look at it tomorrow. Someone is going to be severally hurt with this problem. I have tried everything I have been told to do and nothing works. There are no recalls, no investigations, no one seems to care. Someone is going to have a serious accident or cause a death because of Dodge's faulty equipment. What are we going to have to do before this problem is fixed? is it going to be another firestone tire issue? I cant afford to another vehicle but I can't imagine what could happen if it does not get fixed.

2007 - Dodge Ram 1500 megacab has the 'death wobble'. While driving at highway speeds, if you hit a bump or pothole, especially while making a slight turn, the front end suspension shakes uncontrollably until you are able to reduce speeds to approximately 25 mph. When the truck is shaking steering is nearly impossible and slowing the truck while maintaining control is extremely difficult. It has happened often enough that I can nearly reproduce it on demand. I do not feel safe when the shaking occurs and fear losing control of the vehicle.

Front end shakes to the point that you lose control of vehicle this only happens after hitting a bump or uneven pavement at speed greater than 60mph you have to come to a complete stop to stop the shaking.

4 Front Suspension problem

Failure Date: 07/16/2009

I just purchased a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup. I noticed that everytime I go over a bump in the road the front bounces all over the place. It feels like the shocks are shot. When you hit a bump in the highway at 65 mph it feels like you are going to roll the truck. I saw my mechanic today , and he stated that the front shocks are bad. I am also concerned that there might be further front suspension issues. I'll know more when it gets out of the shop.

The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500. The contact stated that oil leaked out of the front driver's side shocks. She took the vehicle to the dealer and they confirmed the failure. The dealer stated that they would order the parts and advised her to return in a week. A week later, the contact called the dealer and was informed that the manufacturer did not have the parts to repair the vehicle. She called Chrysler, but they have not returned the call.

6 Front Suspension problem

Failure Date: 02/19/2009

2007 Dodge 1500 4wd pu. Left front shock started to leak with 25000 miles on truck. Dealer says they will replace the one shock when they get some in. Have friends with same truck and same problem and they also got 1 shock replaced. I think they should replace the pair . There must be something wrong with them .

7 Front Suspension problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2009

2007 Ram 1500 4. 7 automatic. 16000 miles. Front shocks, when you hit a bump, doesn't have to be much of one, there is a loud squeaking under the vehicle. Comes from both sides in front and rear. Haven't been to dealer yet. But the way the vehicle is riding, I believe the shocks in the front may have given out. Don't have any idea what's going on in back. Rubber bumpers maybe? *note* this was purchased new, with lowering of 2/4 from the dealer before delivery. Not sure how they did the lowering.

2007 Ram 1500 shaking and vibration felt most on drivers side of truck. Hitting bumps uneven roads front left wheel feels like its going to fall off. And shaking throughout the vehicle. Took to dealer . Was told they can feel shaking but don]t know what the problem is. They claim they did an alignment rotated the tires which was not needed and I ask to have tires spun balance at my cost. Truck was driven by tech and he said it was ok. I picked truck up upon driving home noticed no improvement. Truck was left at dealership for 7 days . So I didn't rush them truck had 16300 miles at that time. I have come to find out I am not alone with this problem truck has 18000 miles on now and still feels the same. Other than this problem. I love the truck.
