| Description of the problem | Uncontrollable steering when hitting a bump or washboard above 40 mph (commonly known as death wobble) unresponsive steering. Truck has been looked at by several mechanics, parts have been replaced and tires have been changed twice to other brands. Truck still does this on occasion? Currently many 03-09 2500 and 3500 trucks are having this issue? Many of which were never fixed and are now out of warranty. This is very dangerous at highway speeds and i would be surprised if there weren't already many accidents due to this problem that has been going on for years? |
