| Description of the problem | 2008 dodge ram 2500 mega cab 4x4. I had steering vibration and sticking steering at slow speeds since i drove it off the lot. I had shocks, all steering linkage, stabilizer, bushings, hydroboost unit and pitman arm replaced, due to slow speed sticking and "death wobble. " my warranty expired at 39,000 miles, so i replaced shocks and stabilizer with bilsteins at my own expense. Vibration and sticking wheel (power steering failure) still occurs. Severe death wobble at 60+ mph. Nhtsa needs to get involved. This is a major safety hazard and has nearly caused me to crash into other lanes of traffic. Dodge cannot fix and refuses to accept any responsibility after your warranty expires. I have tried several times to work with chrysler and they don't have the answers or want you to pay for diagnosis they cannot solve. Please help...... |
