| Description of the problem | When hitting a small bump with the right tire the whole front end began to shake uncontrolably with difficulty steering. Had to bring the truck to a complete stop on the side of the highway. There was a semi right behind me that had to swerve to miss hitting me while i tried to control the vechile. Dodge has said there is a death wobble and are aware of it, but no recall at this time. Also dodge told me that it was a manufacure defeact and i could pay to have it fix. Have already spent 1800. 00 dollars replacing ball joint, tirieds, bearings. Etc and still has the death wobble and unable to drive or sell due to the danger of accident. |
