| Description of the problem | After hitting a bump at highway speed the front end of my truck violently shook until i reduced speed to around 50mph. After researching issue on line i found this issue is so common that it is now referred to as the "dodge death wobble". When this happened to me i was unable to steer until i slowed enough to stop the violent shaking. I contacted the local dodge dealer to see if there were any recalls for this and they told me that this was the first time that they had heard of this issue. I had the dealership look at my truck several months before and they found nothing. I had les schwab look it over and they found nothing. Several on line posts indicated similar results. To get a better idea of the extent of the issue just go to you tube and type in "dodge death wobble" and you will see plenty of videos with the exact issue i experienced. |
