| Description of the problem | I own a 2007 dodge 2500 mega cab and have now experienced the so called dodge "death-wobble" on 3 separate occasions in the last 2 months. Traveling at highway speeds whether a smooth road or if i hit a small pothole the truck begins shaking violently and does not stop until speed is reduced significantly (under 30 mph). I have researched the issue via the web and have seen a news report of this happening to others with the newer models of the dodge ram series. I currently have the vehicle scheduled for inspection (2 dec 09) with the dealer for possible repairs but wanted to submit a complaint as i believe this is happening to many other motorists as reported by wsoc in charlotte nc. I only knew of contacting the nhtsa because of the news report i found. This reoccuring situation if not corrected is a safety issue which if not corrected is an "extreme" danger to all motorists on the road. |
