Steering Wheel Vibrate problems of the 2007 Dodge Ram 2500

During highway driving 60mph my truck developed "death wobble" the steering wheel was shaking violently side to side, I was unable to gain control until the truck was below 15mph. This happened several occasions thereafter anywhere from 40-65mph. I took the truck to the dealership, which determined everything was fine as far as recall concerns go, I explained that there was something wrong weather it was recall or not, and I wish to have it fixed. They expressed the truck was fine and refused to look further into it. There was a recall on the front end steering linkage which they also stated was not a problem. The "death wobble" returned on several occasions until from 12-4-17 to about 2-10-2017 when it caused me to leave the road pulling a trailer nearly crashing into a bridge support. After giving up on the dealer I investigated myself and found that the front end traction bar link was bad, this allowed the axle to move side to side. With the steering mounted to the frame, and the axle moving this caused the steering drag link to violently push/pull on the steering causing the potential deadly condition essentially the steering was steering left and right without my control. After replacing the traction bar and front end linkage the truck performed as it should with no further issues, this is a problem that is extremely common among ram owners of 2002-20010 trucks. Check out "Dodge ram death wobble" on youtube it is a problem that Dodge ignores, and when reported isn't aware on how to fix. It occurred on all road types and usually started at a bump or pot hole. Here's a link of many with the exact same problem. . Read more...

I hit a medium size bump in a construction zone on I-70 east in ohio and the steering wheel started shaking violently from side to side, the truck was shaking violently and I had to drop speed from 55 to 30 to regain control of the steering wheel, I almost caused an accident next to me and from behind. I am an active ohio firefighter and ex-ohio law enforcement officer, this problem needs to be addressed by Dodge. I just came back from getting repairs on a recall for the tie rod assembly at thomas Chrysler in st. Clairsville ohio. Someone is going to die with this problem and that's to high of a price to pay to resolve this problem. Please have this investigsted.

Dodge 2007, model 2500 turbo diesel crew cab, with approximately 20,500 miles. At 55 mph, a sudden bump caused by a freeway expansion joint resulted in severe steering wheel shaking with front end of truck going out of control. I regained control through gentle braking. Initially I believed the issue to be with the road, however, fifteen minutes later at 55 mph, and hitting a hard bump the steering violently shook again, while the front end jumped up and down and left and right. I lost control of the truck exiting the paved surface and came to rest in the barrow pit. Both incidents were on paved freeway (interstate 215 and interstate 80 in utah). I'm lucky to be alive narrowly as I narrowly missed a tractor trailor. I had just purchased this truck from henry day Ford of west valley city, utah. They certified the used truck with a full inspection of the steering system. Apparently, a known issue with a "recall" for steering linkage (safety recall h46-mopar steering linkage). Recall was complied with during September 2009. Problem obviously still exists even after recall compliance.
