 Description of the problemOctober 31, 2015, i experienced the dodge "death wobble" twice within 10 minutes, speed approximately 50 to 55 mph on a 2 lane east bound road in modesto, calif., driving straight. Luckily, no cars were close by. Previously, i have experienced a single wheel "death wobble". I am having to change the track bar bushings every 15,000 to 20,000 miles. They are worn out or in pieces. I have found the frame and the front differential are not in alignment. The differential needs to be pulled into alignment with the frame 1/4 inch(approx.) to install the bolt through the frame mount and the track bar bushing. This truck has never been in a collision to the front. The "death wobble" has been noticed on many truck websites. If i had been in traffic, it would have caused an accident. What is nhtsa doing about a recall by dodge to fix the problem, permanently? The truck was new when i bought it. I have changed addresses on registration and have not received any notices of the other recalls.
