| Description of the problem | 2006 dodge ram diesel the infamous "death wobble" my personal experience was at just shy of 12000 miles take truck to the dealer nothing wrong that they can see. If it keeps happening bring it back . Approximately 18000 miles still happening cannot find anything wrong with it. I take it back in talk to manager and i tell him that if you hit a bump at 55-60 that the truck violently shakes. They say try wheel bearings. I put 800 in wheel bearings still occurs. I call chrysler and they lead me on that they might fix it but to take in to the dealer for diag. I take it in and they say put a steering stabilizer on it and they wont participate in that so i put and new steering stabilizer on it and now it happens at 40-45 mph i am in the process of calling them back to let them know that the problem still exists and i am going to emphasize to them again that my wife and 2 yr old daughter are in the current driver and passenger of truck. This problem has caused other damage to the truck that they will not also fix. I told them that i don't want anything then a truck that i can drive on the highway or down any road. |
