| Description of the problem | hi, well i begin as a guy who loves trucks we bought a dodge ram 06' 1500 mega cab heavy duty,now the mega cabs r 1500's on a 2500 hd chassis. My dodge ram started doing the death wobble about 1year ago give or take. I have replaced the pitman arm and the tie rods and no difference. I am begging to think this is a factory issue because i hear cases by the dozen on youtube and people do not seem to know what the issue is. My family & i have almost been in numerous accidents luckily god was watching over us. I recently got into a pretty horrible death wobble in my truck,it was so intense that my muffler ripped right off the truck. If chrysler is saying that is not a recall that we have fix it our selves,well that's crap because obviously it looks like a defective part in my truck. My truck is dangerous to be driving like that and i hope this becomes a recall because its not just me it's a couple hundred,who knows now how many. Thank you for your time. *js |
