general problems of the 2007 Dodge Ram 3500 - part 2

I was driving at 60mph and hit a bump and that's when the front end started to shake so bad I had to stop and get out to see if I had a flat but now after doing my own research on a lot of forum a lot of the Dodge rams have what thayer call the death wobble and it does scare u to death when it happens! Dodge has always had weak front end so on there big trucks! to much engine too light of a front end! very few Dodge 2500 and 3500 owners get 100,000 miles of them before parts have to be replaced (ball joints and sway bars) I love my Dodges but hate the weak front ends! I do have video of the shake. Thanks.

The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Ram 3500. While driving at approximately 70 mph over a bump in the road, the vehicle began to vigorously shake without warning. The contact downshifted to slow the vehicle down. The failure recurred on several occasions at various speeds. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that the VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 13v528000 (steering). The vehicle was not repaired. The contact also stated that the front passenger side tire had to be replaced four times. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 160,000.

I was driving on the ih 45 service in houston, TX. Without warning the right tierod end fell off. This caused the truck to make a hard left turn hitting a metro buss. It was towed to clear lake Dodge where I purchased it. They say they no responsibility in this matter please let me know if you have any knowledge in this.

Death shake! I was driving on highway ,@ 65 mph hit brake in bridge, truck shook uncontrollably had to slow down and pull over to get it to stop ,it caused me to shake myself,if it doesn't kill me ,I may have a heart attack that's how scary it is ! which alot of you out there already know. Dodge needs to address this immediately! what's worse is my son was in the truck and there was a semi behind me,its amazing how we weren't rammed by the semi! I bought this truck to haul horses ,that wont happen until this problem is fixed! so therefore it defeats the purpose of buying this quite expensive truck!.

We have replaced two steering gear boxes on this 2007 Dodge Ram 3500. We called several Dodge dealers for a replacement box but they said that they are back- ordered and would be a three week wait if they can even get one since they have about 1,013 on back orders as of yesterday. We were informed that this gear box is the same one that is used on the Mercedes Benz automobiles. Now there is alot of difference between a car and a very heavy duty 1 ton truck. They really didnt think this one out,it is a real safty problem. My husband was turning from the highway to the side street when it broke ,this was the second one we put on it only had 213 miles on it. Dodge must be aware of it as the dealers have told us it is a problem he had to wait for traffic to let him make a wide turn onto the oncoming lane of traffic. We have a 2003 Dodge ram pu with the same gear box and I drive it all the time and now I am thinking if this would happen to me I do not think I could have the strenght to avoid a serious problem, on the open highway it would be horrible. This is the vehicle I use to transport our severly handicapped son now I am concerned for our safty as well as others with these trucks please look into this problem thank-you.

I was driving and hit a bumpy place in the road and the whole truck started shaking uncontrollably. I had to stop on the freeway before I could get it under control. We took it to the dealership where we purchased it and they said there is nothing wrong with it. We have since done research and found this problem to affect alot of these vehicles. To those that experience it we call it "the death wobble" because there is nothing you can do except stop and hope you don't get into an accident.

Death wobble 2007 Dodge 3500 75,000 miles have replaced everything.

I have had a 03 ram 2500, 04 Ram 3500, and 07 Ram 3500. I have experienced a death wobble numerous times with each vehicle at all highway speeds after hitting pot holes and bumps. It violently shakes the whole truck until you reduce the speed to 30-40 mph. It feels like the truck will lose control and shake off the road. I have heard numerous complaints and feel this issue needs to be addressed by Chrysler before someone gets hurt or killed. I have taken each truck into the dealership three times to be looked at and they said nothing was wrong with it.

Vehicle begins shaking violently cause loss of control. I have to come to a complete stop to regain control of the vehicle. No mechanics or Dodge service centers know what is causing the problem. I have spent over $2000 to have things replaced and problem has not been fixed. This is a very dangerous problem. I have searched the internet for solutions. All I have found are other people with this problem an no one knows how to fix it!.
