Description of the problem	Any time i would hit uneven pavement (bridge approach, pothole, dip in road, edge of shoulder) my truck would go into a violent and uncontrollable shaking. This occurred on a regular basis. Each time, i would not be able to regain control until the speed of the vehicle slowed to approx. 15 or 20 mph. If on a straight stretch of road, it would hold straight until i regained control. If in a curve, the truck would either cross over or run off the road. When describing the symptoms to multiple dodge dealers, they referred to the issue as the "dodge death wobble". I have received two notices from dodge/chrysler regarding recalls. On the first recall, upon inspection, i was told that my truck did not qualify. By the time the second recall was released, i had already replaced all of my steering linkage to a new chrysler/mopar design. This upgrade was completed because dodge no longer offered parts for the 2003-2008 models and the only factory support parts option was to put 2009 steering linkage on an older truck. Per the recall notice, i submitted my service records and charges to chrysler for reimbursement. My total cost to replace my steering linkage was approximately $715. The upgraded steering linkage has prevented loss of control from occurring again. I was contacted by phone and advised that my vehicle was not repaired with mopar parts and i needed to submit additional service records. When i challenged this feedback and asked to speak with a member of management, i was placed on hold when the representative then returned to advise that my truck did not qualify for the recall because it was not originally built with the defective parts. I again asked to speak with a member of management and was told i could not do so. I was told that i would be placed on a request list and should expect to hear back from someone within 24 hours.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
