 Description of the problemI own a 2007 dodge ram 2500 4wd quad cab long wheel base pickup truck. The steering on this vehicle is best described as ridiculous for the price you have to pay for the truck, not to mention how dangerous it is. My problems started before the truck even reached 20,000 miles. The dealership i purchased the truck from replaced the tie rod ends under warranty, and that helped for a few thousand miles, but didn't correct the problem. I attempted changing the tires and wheels for a set of aftermarket ones around 45-50k miles and that's when the "death wobble" started. I was traveling in the fast lane of a 3 lane interstate at around 70mph, and luckily was able to exit the interstate shortly after it started. I could not regain total control of the vehicle until it came to a complete stop! I'm just lucky it wasn't raining, or very crowded on the interstate at the time or i might not be here to write this complaint. I have replaced the factory steering stabilizer with an aftermarket rancho unit, but that didn't change a thing. I have researched the internet numerous times, but never see any real solutions, only aftermarket manufacturers attempting to sell their idea of a fix. This is a real issue that someone needs to force dodge to correct. I don't know if there are any deaths directly related to this problem, but rest assured there will be. I can't believe that it's been allowed to go on this long. I can't stand the thought of using this vehicle to transport my family, let alone my family losing me because of dodge's apathy towards this issue. I guess someone will have to videotape themselves crashing before the government steps in and makes dodge take notice, like they did to toyota.
