 Description of the problemThis has been an ongoing problem since i purchased the vehicle. It has been identified by the many people that have experienced the problem as the death wobble. I have addressed this problem with chrysler and they will not admit there is a problem more than likely because there would be a recall and much money to spend. I have also addressed this problem with my local dealership and they have maintained the same position as chrysler. Upon researching the net many have experienced the same problem. Description of the problem is as follows; at speeds of 55 to 70 mph, upon hitting normal pot holes (normal for calif pot holes) the vehicle will go into a violent shaking. This is shaking of the entire vehicle where the only way to stop it is to slow to about 30. So needless to say it happens mainly on the freeway. My latest episode happened on a portion of a highway with a curve to the right. After the wobble started due to centrifical force the truck "danced" into the oncoming lane and on to the right shoulder of the same lane. In an effort to slow the truck i was now on gravel/dirt sliding side ways. Came to a stop and sat to collect myself. Resumed my travel slowing to 40 mph at any and every curve. I have not been able to take this vehicle on any freeway because of this problem. Please keep in mind i am not alone. Simply log on to the net and type in death wobble. You will discover how prevalent this problem is. Can you folks help?
