I just purchased a stock 06 Dodge 2500 4x4. Yesterday when driving it I nearly lost control while traveling 70mph and hitting small bumps in the paved road. The steering proceeded to turn right by its own then corrected. I took it to a mechanic who said that it was "death wobble" common to my year of truck. I researched online and found many people with the same complaints!.

8 Front Suspension problem

Failure Date: 08/17/2009

I own a 2006 Dodge pickup that has appro. 82,000 miles on the vehicle. The front end of the Dodge will shake when a bump is hit on the highway. Checking current talk on the internet this is called the death wobble. How come Dodge is not taking responsibility for this and not fixing the defect. I have asked several service departments and they all say their is nothing wrong with the front end. So why does the problem keep occurring and how come I'm not the only one. I hope this complaint will help, before someone is injured or killed.
