No warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and diagnosed the vehicle with the failure of the left tire rod. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 81,000. Sl.

The front end shakes around 60 to 65 mph. When driving, you have to slow down to 35 - 40 mph to stop the shaking.

While driving at 65 miles per hour, and crossing a bridge expansion joint, truck began shaking violently. Shaking did not stop until I was able to reduce the speed below 45mph. Similar incidents continue to occur every time I drive the truck. This could easily lead to a serious accident.

I was driving on I-10 going west by blthe, CA I went over a bridge and ran over the joint between the bridge and the road the truck went into a speed wobble it didn't stop until I got on the brakes hard down to 40 mph I have had it happen several times more always at bridges or rough spots on the road.

Truck suddenly started bouncing all over the road. Felt as though all four tires had suddenly gone flat. Extremely difficult to maintain control and went into oncoming lane sideways. Inspection did not show any failed component (tire, steering system, etc). Check engine light illuminated for a day, then went off. Light illuminated again, with no indication of problem. Loss of control has happened three more times since first occurance. Similar speeds during each event, with two different operators. Serious difficulty retaining control to stop the vehicle and roll over/crash concerns preclude attempting to duplicate event. Dealership has been unresponsive to date. I will never trust the oncoming Dodge truck until this is addressed. People are going to die. It is sad.

While driving at speeds above 55mph, if an expansion joint, pot hole, or any form of a larger bump is hit, the vehicle will go into what is commonly known as "death wobble. " to be more specific, the front axle is shifting side to side underneath the body of the truck, causing a violent shake that is impossible to describe. Being an ase certified technician, I inspected my personal vehicle with two other ase certified technicians, and discovered no logical causes for such a shake, but proceeded to retorque every nut and bolt under the vehicle along with adding a new heavy duty steering stabilizer, per Dodge dealer suggestion. To no avail, the problem still persists. I can no longer allow my six month old daughter to ride in my truck for fear of death wobble occuring. I refuse to allow my wife to drive my truck for fear of her safety. Make this situation right with ram truck owners, before it takes a life.

At highway speeds of 65-70 truck started to shake very bad were I almost lost control slowed down and stopped check all tire and started going again and as soon as I hit 65mph it happened again till I slowed down to 30mph I once again stopped check tires all good this is a common thing with the Dodge ram from doing a search of the internet on what other Dodge ram owners are calling the death wobble and to this date Dodge says nothing is wrong this problem needs to be looked in to and either make Dodge do a recall to fix there problem before someone gets killed or injured because of this.

I was driving my truck on the interstate at about 65 mph and hit a bump in the road. My truck went all over the interstate almost throwing me into the ditch. I thought I had a flat tire but I didn't. I continued down the interstate and nothing happened. A week later it happened again on the interstate. I was told by a truck company that I was experiencing the death wobble. I called the Dodge dealership and they said they knew nothing about the death wobble. I cant drive my new truck on the interstate fearing for my safety and others I may hurt.

While driving my 2011 ram power wagon from speeds of 35mph to 70 mph any small bumps in the highway or expansion joints in the road put this vehicle into an extremely violent wobble with uncontrollable steering issues. I immediately brought vehicle to dealership and dealership had said they never heard of this, they agreed to replace the steering damper and the problem still persists. I'm a professional driver of fire apparatus and have never been as deeply concerned about my safety as now driving this truck. I looked up on the internet and there are countless wobble issues associated with Ram 2500 and ram 3500 trucks. I am not positive if my local dealership understands the severity of the situation. This can and will result in injury or much worse, death. Please address this issue in a timely manner to protect not just the thousands of Dodge owners but the innocent bystanders on the same road with this truck.

At normal driving speeds, when a bump or expansion joint is hit, a violent shimmy occurs in the front end. The way to make this stop is by hitting the brakes lightly bringing the speed down.
