| Description of the problem | This is reoccurring. Dodge has termed it the "death wobble" we bought the truck from a dodge dealer in 2009 with 17,000 miles on it. It started doing this within days of purchase. The dealership attempted to fix the problem with no resolve it is happening again. I feel they used faulty parts in 2010 when they attempted to fix it. A number of recalls concerning this issue have not been issued to us or resolved by the dealership. Recall numbers performed are h46. Three recalls not resolved (attempted but not done) l16, n62, and r25. Researching this issue informed me that their are pending class action law suits for these recalls on my make and model. I am needing feedback on what to do with our truck. It is my main work truck and i have a family with 4 kids who ride with me at times. It is very very dangerous. The "death wobble" is just that. It scares you to death. It is so sever that it bounces the truck into oncoming traffic lanes or the median. If it would happen in a curve a wreck would be unavoidable. I race cars and can barely maintain control. The driver looses complete control of steering and has to break hard to gain contact to the road. Until an extremely slow speed is obtained, no control can be maintained. |
