48 Steering problem

Failure Date: 12/30/2013

Driving up country road at 45 mph in my Dodge Ram 2500 diesel, with only 40k miles on it. All of a sudden, death wobble hits. No ability to steer and no brakes. Right wheel gets jammed into frame of truck at 45mph and can't spin so violent and uncontrollable shaking. Evidenced by tire marks on the frame of my truck. Have photos. Sends me up the side of the road, and almost flips the truck upside down. Managed to get truck under control, by slamming on my brakes, in oncoming traffic, my dog hits the windshield. Police officer was right behind me and witnessed the entire event, told me I was lucky to be alive. When I called Dodge they denied everything. Looked up internet and found "death wobble" which is exactly what transpired with the truck. Fortunately at the time I was not hauling my horse trailer or all would have been dead. Damages to date so far is 8k, including frame, front bumper, front suspension, steering, front axle assembly. This is absolutely outrageous for a truck that only has 40k miles.

Failure Date: 12/20/2013

Have been waiting for parts to make this repair since put on the list at pro Jeep/Dodge thornton, colo. (now larry h. Miller Dodge) on 01/07/2014. I have repeatedly contacted the dealer & Chrysler/Dodge and am given the run around each time and am no closer to repairs than I was 6 months ago. Dodge knew this was a problem since 2008 yet continued to sell these trucks without notifying customers of the problem. Was sold an unsafe vehicle.

66 Steering problem

Failure Date: 08/25/2013

Driving on the baltime beltway (695) after driving over a couple of bumps in the road my steering wheel started to shake violently out of control and the truck was shaking and bouncing all over the road like a jumping jack. Other cars that were around me at the time were getting out of my proximity as I was all over the road and had to slow down to almost a stop. I actually ended up on the shoulder of the road when it was all over. This highway is 55 mph and usually congested.

67 Steering problem

Failure Date: 08/21/2013

Travelling 60 mph on a two lane county road in a rural area, speed limit 55mph. Drove over a slight bump in the road that was over a small creek when the steering wheel suddenly and violently started to wobble back and forth and the vehicle started to shake violently as well. The vehicle was uncontrollable and started to force me off the road toward a wooded area. Luckily I was able to slow down enough for the "death wobble" to subside enough for me to regain control. I was on my way to perform a chore and had to return from this chore on the same road. The exact same thing happened on the return trip. Violent shaking of the steering wheel and vehicle and total loss of control. The same thing happened about two months ago on an interstate higway. The road surface was poorly maintained and the "death wobble" occured when I drove over an imperfection on the road surface. Luckily no other vehicles were next to me or an accident surely would have occurred. This first event I thought was just by chance, but after the last event happening twice on the same day has me convinced that there is a flaw in the steering and/or suspension. I went to the dealer where I bought the truck after doing a web search on problems with this vehicle (many complaints posted detailing exactly what had occurred with me) and told the service rep what had happened and she said she had heard no such complaints from others. The roads in my county are very rural and well maintained. No problems on well maintained roads, however, on poorly maintained roads or over expansion joints or potholes going 60 mph will throw this vehicle into a "death wobble" as it has been called.

68 Steering problem

Failure Date: 07/27/2013

I was driving in my truck with my friend on sr 101. Approximate speed was 60 mph. We went around a bend in the road over a concrete bridge expansion joint where the pavement changed levels. The truck jumped and began violently vibrating and forced me into passenger side guard rail of the bridge. The vibrating continued until I slowed down to approx 10 mph. The problem I thought was fixed with new steering stabilizer and shocks, a. K. A. The death wobble has returned. After research on the internet, I called my local Dodge dealership with skepticism. He knew of no recalls and it would not be covered under warranty. I do not feel safe in the vehicle and do not want my family riding in the truck. I have escaped injury to this point. This is my 1st posting. Please help. What should I do?.

69 Steering problem

Failure Date: 06/19/2013
