 Description of the problemI own an 08 dodge ram 2500 with approx 970 miles on the vehicle. After hitting a series of road bumps, the front end of the vehicle began to violently vibrate and wobble. I could barely control the vehicle due to a near lack of steering control. After completely stopping the vehicle, i resumed speed and the vehicle drove normally. When i got home i did an internet search on my vehicle symptoms and found that "dodge death wobble" yielded over 35k hits. There is a systemic problem with large ram trucks that, according to my research is not being adequately addressed. The dealer replaced the steering stabilizer - a common replacement according to my research. Symptoms, however, continue to exist after this part is replaced - another common theme according to my research.
