Description of the problem	After accelerating on an interstate highway on-ramp, the vehicle went over some bumps then started shaking violently at about 45 mph. There was a complete loss of steering as the truck vibrated and shook across lanes, but i was able to somehow avoid collisions with other vehicles and safely pull off the highway. After stopping and finding nothing wrong, the vehicle was slowly accelerated to interstate speed and driven another 300 miles to destination without further incident. A few days later, a tucson dodge dealer inspected the truck and found two issues. First, the front steering damper was found to be defective and was replaced under warranty. The second item, an imbalanced front driver's side wheel, was found and corrected. The problem has not recurred, but i am extremely nervous about the event repeating itself, particularly if it happens when pulling a 5th wheel trailer. I am not confident that the violent shaking of the vehicle and loss of steering was caused by a defective steering dampener and a slightly out-of-balance front wheel. This problem, an apparently somewhat widespread occurrence among dodge trucks, has been widely reported as the "death wobble" throughout the past 8 years or so. My understanding is that it had been fixed recently through suspension changes by chrysler engineers, but obviously not.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
