| Description of the problem | My 2007 dodge ram 2500 4x4 goes into "death wobble" at speeds higher than 65 mph. When the truck is traveling on the highway it will start to rattle the front end to a point that you feel as though you are riding on a "square tire". Extremely dangerous!!!! Apparently this is common knowledge to chrysler management and staff... However, nothing has been done to correct the problem. When i first experienced the problem i took the vehicle to two different dodge dealers to essentially be told by the service managers that the vehicle was perfectly fine and that i probably needed to buy new tires! This problem is obviously more serious than new tires... It is my hopes that someone can raise a red flag to the issue before a serious injury or death occurs as a result of this factory defect. |
