I have a 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 power wagon with only 131k miles . As I was driving on the highway home from work at around 60 mph my whole front end started to shake like crazy and I almost lost control of the truck . I had to stop and pull off the road . Looking under the truck I do not see anything that looks broken or damaged. So I went online and alot of people online had the same issue as I did . I was told they are open recalls for front end parts going bad on my truck year model . I called my local dealer the service tech was happy to help until I said recall issues on the front end on the truck then all of a sudden his data base system went down so he will have to call me back . All I need is just a answer on if there is a open recalll so that I can have it repaired . Right now I am scared to move my truck .

Death wobble / as I was coming down on ramp to I-205 after leaving hannah Dodge as speed reached 55 I hit a small bump in pave and truck shook so violently I had to hit brakes as vehicle pulled left then right to shoulder where I came to a stop. This first happened as I reached 164th and hwy. 14 at 64 mph and hit asphalt patch on overpass and was steering to the left lane when truck started shuddering violently and pulling to right as I hit brakes. Luckily on both occasions no traffic was to my right or behind me or I'm sure an accident could have occurred.
The passenger track bar mount and shock mount has fractures in the welds to the axle housing. The shock bracket underneath wear the bottom of the passenger shock bolts in is completely broken and the bottom of the shock is just floating with no stability. This is a factory weld and the 2013-2014s have the same issue but are the only ones with an official recall. It's been reported on many previous years and Chrysler/Dodge will not fix it. I am unable to take a picture of the the shock bolt as it is blocked by the track bar mount, but I did get the track bar mount clearly with the major fractures. There are more on the inner side of the passenger axle housing. This creates a major safety issue if it completely fails.
My 2007 Dodge 2500 truck with a 5. 9 diesel has experienced, what has been widely known as, death wobble. I would describe this as an uncontrollable loss of control when going over a bump or (more especially) an uneven change in the roadway like when going over overpasses or bridges. This is prevalent on the highway at speeds of 60 mph plus. My truck currently only has 70,000 miles and has been impeccably maintained. The entire truck and steering shakes and the only way to stay alive is to brake heavily until it stops, usually at 30 to 40 mph. This is not safe in any way, but especially on the highway. The truck has had this issue for years and happens without warning. I took the truck to my dealership and they said off the record, "sorry, we know it happens, but we have no solution. " death wobble. . . Everyone knows about it. Not gonna fix it. Hhmmmmm.
Front end of truck has problem steering it wants to go both ways it seems at once so when you hit a bump it tries to correct it to pull to the opposite ways. It's alarming. When your driving at any speed.
Driving about 65 mph hit a bump on interstate and truck shook violently and almost hit concrete wall. Had track bar bushings replaced that was supposed to be the fix just to have the same thing happen again two weeks later taking me off the interstate once again. Not sure what to have done next before it kills me or someone else!.
I have been having a problem that is know as (the death wobble ) when driving at 50 miles per hour or higher when hitting a bump in the road the truck vibrates so bad the you have a hard time controlling it. This has been happening since 2014. I have changed numerous parts in the steering to solve this problem to no avail. When will there be a recall on this issue before someone is killed.

If we hit a small defect in the road, the truck begins shaking violently and becomes hard to steer until we have significantly reduced speed. This happens on any road surface and has occurred on interstate hi-ways at legal speeds of 80 mph before. , fortunately in light traffic that day. This could cause a severe accident if it happens at the wrong time and place. Problems was at first occasional and has become much more frequent. We use this truck to haul a heavy, loaded horse trailer. Or did, but now don't feel safe doing so.
In motion on hwy at 55-60 mph coming out of a right turn. Right side tires entered a dip in the road and heard a metal bang sound. Truck began to rock from side to side, up and down violently causing loss of steering control while the whole family screams. Braking made it worse. Coasting to below 50 mph corrected the rocking. Found the electronic sway bar hanging loose below truck. Suspension bracket for sway bar was broken at rear bolt location and bent down. Dealership states left front ball joints need replacing also and may have contributed to loss of control. Dealership said nothing is covered under previous recalls 11v350000 or 13v528000. $3400. Estimate.
Driving about 70 mph straight on a highway. Hit a small bump in the road. My truck started shaking violently . Had to slow down to keep control of my truck and make a complete stop to stop it from shaking.
At speed over 50 on a interstate highway hitting an expansion joint, bumps or uneven pavement while changing a lane on 2 lane state roadway to pass car (no bumps) truck went into violent front end shaking. Created unsafe passing situation while trying to get truck under control. Truck is a diesel with 72,000 well cared for miles. When speaking with a Chrysler ram tough ?? (my a--)truck dealer , they knew nothing about a "death wobble" . Front end replaced except for steering box with front end alignment.
This is reoccurring. Dodge has termed it the "death wobble" we bought the truck from a Dodge dealer in 2009 with 17,000 miles on it. It started doing this within days of purchase. The dealership attempted to fix the problem with no resolve it is happening again. I feel they used faulty parts in 2010 when they attempted to fix it. A number of recalls concerning this issue have not been issued to us or resolved by the dealership. Recall numbers performed are h46. Three recalls not resolved (attempted but not done) l16, n62, and r25. Researching this issue informed me that their are pending class action law suits for these recalls on my make and model. I am needing feedback on what to do with our truck. It is my main work truck and I have a family with 4 kids who ride with me at times. It is very very dangerous. The "death wobble" is just that. It scares you to death. It is so sever that it bounces the truck into oncoming traffic lanes or the median. If it would happen in a curve a wreck would be unavoidable. I race cars and can barely maintain control. The driver looses complete control of steering and has to break hard to gain contact to the road. Until an extremely slow speed is obtained, no control can be maintained.

All of a sudden my brakes failed could not steer correctly and I lost control of the truck slamming into an oncoming vehicle. It felt like I was steering to go straight and the steering wheel just turned on its own. Now I have a $2800 bill to pay the body shop and I need to get my steering box replaced. I would like help with that. And most important I need these recalls done once I get my truck out of the body shop. My only request is that when I bring it in to the dealer I would like them to also fix my steering box at no charge.

Death wobble/ happened 3x once pulling a trailer/ Dodge dealer told me no recall on mine. To avoid getting in an accident I paid a professional Dodge mechanic out of pocket over $1000. 00 to rebuild complete front end, all components. Still happened so he resorted to an xtra heavy duty after market steering stabilizer called a rancho. Then put a new steering gear box on and a new set of michelin tires and it hasn't occurred since. However I'm out of pocket about $2500. 00. Not a word from Chrysler or a dime in restitution. Do I have any recourse now that I've discovered this agreement with ntsba & fiatchrysler. A word from Chrysler would have been nice since I own 5 2007 pkups 1 2012 durango & a 1999 Dodge ram 3500. I don't know how to send documents on here but I can document all of this and testimony from 1 certified Dodge mechanic and another colorado certified front end specialist. If it's neede I can mail copies of receipts or contact one of these lemon lawyers I just read about. Thanks for your time and attention to this very disappointing experience with Dodge : I really liked them but am unsure now of their safety. It always happened at about 50-55 mph, always in a curve after hitting a bump. Once put me in the medium with a trailer load of hay. Still wondering how I didn't kill somebody.
Death wobble that's resistant to repair.

My son (tyler gause) was driving along king college road, bristol,tennessee at about 8:55pm on December 4, 2014 my vehicle became unsteerable while driving down the road. The left front tire rod apparently broke and he was unable to steer the vehicle. Prior to this incident he had taken it to a local Dodge dealer and they said it was not on the recall list. Come to find out it appears someone erroneously listed the vehicle in the system as being repaired and it was never repaired. I believe someone listed it so Chrysler would not have to repair my vehicle and it could have cost my son's life when the tire rod broke. I am requesting that an investigation be conducted to see who ierroneously listed the vehicle as being repaired. Thank you.
