Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Vehicle was purchased in november 2010, and the so call "death wobble" was not noticed until april 2011. I had taken the vehicle into the dealership where purchased, they found nothing wrong with the front end, yet rotated the tires, re-aligned the front end and replaced a control arm. The chevy dealership where the vehicle was purchased also contacted a dodge dealer who denied any problems with the front end of these vehicle. The vehicle is driven little, and several times this month (december 2011) while driving on a major highway, while approaching a bridge doing 65 to 70 mph., or where the pavement is rough the vehicle started this "death wobble", almost to the point there is no control. The driver can not gain full control of vehicle until the speed is reduced. I did notice on the net that chrysler did issue a service letter to their dealers that a problem may exist, yet nothing was mentioned to the chevy dealership when they contacted chrysler. This vehicle was purchased to tow a ten-thousand pound rv, and yet, i have not experienced a wobble while pulling that unit, i'm sure it is just a matter of time. Chrysler needs to step up, come up with a solution, recall and fix these vehicles. Customers deserve better than what chrysler is doing, after all the customers pays thousands of dollars for their product. There is a serious safety issue here that needs to be addressed.
