Entering freeway from a stop light and hit a small bump send the truck into violent and uncontrollable shaking and loss of steering. Because it has happened before, this time I tried accelerating out of it but did not work. Finally I stopped at the solder of the highway without causing an accident. Since then I have received two recall notices from Dodge, took the truck every time to the local dealer, reno Dodge, and both times they said my truck is not effected by those recalls including today. Almost on a daily basis I hit bumps that almost put the truck in that "dance of death". Finally I did an internet search and found numetous accounts of the identical cases under comparable conditions. I wish I could sell my truck and get a new one but financially is completely out of the question. Sooner or later the same thing will will happen an I will hurt someone or myself of both. I hope you can help.

My 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 began to have a problem with the steering beginning may 6, 2010. While turning, the steering wheel would jerk back and forth.

2005 Dodge Ram 3500 diesel crew cab short box truck. All front end components replaced at 90,000 kms using Dodge parts,nothing is worn out. A two inch leveling kit has been installed. The front end has been shaking since I bought it at 90,000 kms,I have been chasing it for two years now,since then I have been to the Dodge dealer on an apparent recall on the steering stabilzer,my truck did not meet the criteria,but I bought the parts anyway then added a adjustable track bar and a steering box stabilizer. It did help some ,but the shake is still there. In my opinion this is an engineering flaw and must be dealt with sooner than later. The wobble is triggered with a bump in the road at speeds between 80-120 kms,it shakes the steering so hard you have to hang on with both hands, brake and turn sharp left to right to get out of it.
