Description of the problem | I have recently experienced "the death wobble" in my truck. (2010 dodge ram 2500) i was traveling on the highway at approximately 75 miles per hour, when i hit a small bump and my truck began shaking violently and uncontrollably on the front end. Applying my breaks did not help. All i could do is hold on for the ride until i slowed down to approximately 35 miles per hour. I pulled over and examined my truck thinking that something was severely damaged due to the extreme nature of the incident and could not find any damages. I slowly drove home afraid of it happening again. I did not know what the violent shaking in my truck was called until i researched this scary experience. Upon conducting my research, i learned that this is a common problem with my year, make and model of vehicle. I have already taken it in for a couple of recall items regarding steering issues. I am afraid they may have replaced any recall items with faulty parts. |
