Description of the problem	My wife and i just bought a 2008 dodge 3500 mega cab 2 months ago from a dodge dealer after 2 weeks of owning the truck we were on the interstate going about 65-70 mph and hit a regular bump in the road the tires started shaking and the steering wheel and the truck became uncontrollable almost resulting in a crash. We finally got it to stop when we slowed to about 30mph on the interstate which is not fun at all. This has happened 4 or 5 times in the month in a half we have owned this truck. We took the truck back to dealer they said that the problem was the tires need balanced and rotated. We got the truck back and it still does the same thing. Called the dealer back told them of the problem its been a week and no phone call back to us to get the problem fixed. I'm very unhappy with this dealer and with dodge. I am very scared to drive this truck and to put my family in it. I own a business along with my family and if there is something wrong we fix it if its our mistake. Something is wrong with these trucks it should not take someone's life to figure that out. Dodge needs to buck up and face these people that have forked out so much money on their so called best trucks. We want an answer and a fix before its someone's life. I challenge dodge big wigs to put their family in a death wobble dodge and see how comfortable and confident they are then. Your wife and kids will cry just like mine when your truck does the death wobble and almost goes under a semi doing 65 mph. Its [xxx] and you all are not taking my family away from me because of your mess up so ***fix it *** if nothing gets done i will never own another dodge again.
