1 Front Suspension Stabilizer Bar problem of the 2008 Dodge Ram 3500

Failure Date: 06/01/2011

Death wobble! I hit a pot hole or rough bump in the road and the suspension shakes so violently that I could hardly hold on to the steering wheel. All the items on the console went on to the floor, cleared the dash and center console. This was the first of 5 times I have had this happen. 3 times when coming off a bridge deck. All times the truck is at approximately 65mph. The only way to stop the violent shaking is to brake and bring the vehicle to a near stop. The problem with this is its always happened on the freeway where there are other vehicles all around. Very dangerous and scares the life out of me. I have replaced steering control link with tie rod ends. Stabilizer bar, added after market steering box stabilizer and done two alignments. All parts are like new there is only 55000 miles on the truck. There is definitely a design flaw with the suspension! I have owned 4 other trucks. 2 with solid axles in the front and never had this problem.

2 Front Suspension Stabilizer Bar problem of the 1996 Dodge Ram 3500

Failure Date: 05/01/2001

I am reporting a defect on a original frame weld. The stabilizer bar that is connected to the frame that keeps your vehicle from shaking has separated. I have had 3 welders look at this vehicle to repair it and they all say they wont for they dont want to be held responsible for it, be cause if I would have been going at a higher rate of speed I probably would have injured. I contacted Chrysler and they stated to me that I should consider the mileage, well I have not had one problem with my engine and without a frame a engine is really no good. They also stated to me that mine was the first one they ever heard of, which I dont hardly beleive that. Thank you for you rtime in advance.
