Description of the problem	I was driving home from the store with my 3 year old son traveling approximately 45-50mph and there was a spot in the road that we ran over which was a repair so it was raised up a bit from level. After running over the repair the infamous dodge death wobbled started. Once the shaking started i immediately started slowing down but unfortunately for us the death wobble sheared the tie rod end that is connected to the pitman arm completely off of the truck so i had no steering control over the truck and we flew in to the next lane and wound up on the shoulder hitting the curb. This is completely ridiculous that a manufacturer would allow this issue to persist for years. Dodge had this issue starting with 2003 trucks. I have spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars trying to fix this issue and dodge always says "well maybe it is this" and wants more money. Why should i have to pay for their [xxx] product. It almost killed my son and i. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
