Description of the problem	I own a 2001 dodge ram 1500 quad cab 4x4. When you hit a bump or pot hole at 50mph or faster the whole truck shakes violently so bad that you barely have control of the vehicle. It does not stop until you can slow the truck down.. Which is almost impossible. It happened to me 3 or 4 times on a major highway had to slam on the brakes to slow it down causing people around me to almost get in to accidents trying not to slam into me because in had no control of the truck. I have put in upper and lower ball joints,trac bar . Steering column.. Nothing has fixed the problem and dodge wants to know nothing. Someone is going to get hurt or killed if this nproblem isn't fixed by dodge. There are all kinds of complaints on the internet and also from mechanics and people i have talked to. Everyone who owns a dodge truck can tell you about the "death wobble". I have done a lot of research and have found out it could have something to do with front end alignment. Thats next for me to try.
