Hit a minor pothole at 70 MPH, had sudden "death wobble" and almost lost control of the vehicle. 100, 410 miles on the vehicle, have had minor wobble in the past occasionally. Steering parts replaced at about 37,000 miles due to failures, installed a steering dampener years ago due to the potential problem, also current tires have less than 8,000 miles on them. Clearly a known danger to these vehicles, why no action?

I was on a on-ramp getting up to hey speed. Hit a little bump where the old and new asphalt join and the rear started to fishtail to the left and started to spin out hot that K-rail then went over it roiling about 30 feet from it. The air bags did not deploy nor did the seat belt lock. It was a bit foggy and the road surface was wet.

"07" mega cab 4X4 has the well known "death wobble" that Chrysler doesn't want to acknowledge. When traveling over 55 and hit bumps, potholes, or bridge joints the condition starts and doesn't stop until slowed to less than 20 mph. This has happened on numerous occasions. Have spent several thousand dollars trying to fix to no avail. Truck only had 52500 miles when this started. I have replaced steering system with "new improved" version, replaced shocks, track bar bushings, steering stabilizer, steering gear box stabilizer, tires. Truck has only been driven 800 miles in the last 2 years due to the problem and only driven that far because when it started I was 500 miles from home. Couple this with the passenger side air bag recall that said do not drive until replaced and it took a year to get parts. To say I am not happy with Chrysler would be an understatement. The "death wobble" is very serious and after thinking I had it fixed it nearly caused a major wreck on a 4 lane interstate while pulling a 26' trailer loaded with atv's, running 65 mph and ran over an expansion joint at a bridge. I cleared all 4 lanes trying to get it under control, everyone was going in all directions to get away from me. Thank god it never caused any damage to anyone's vehicles, only our nerves and underwear. This is way more serious than any emissions scam.

During highway driving 60mph my truck developed "death wobble" the steering wheel was shaking violently side to side, I was unable to gain control until the truck was below 15mph. This happened several occasions thereafter anywhere from 40-65mph. I took the truck to the dealership, which determined everything was fine as far as recall concerns go, I explained that there was something wrong weather it was recall or not, and I wish to have it fixed. They expressed the truck was fine and refused to look further into it. There was a recall on the front end steering linkage which they also stated was not a problem. The "death wobble" returned on several occasions until from 12-4-17 to about 2-10-2017 when it caused me to leave the road pulling a trailer nearly crashing into a bridge support. After giving up on the dealer I investigated myself and found that the front end traction bar link was bad, this allowed the axle to move side to side. With the steering mounted to the frame, and the axle moving this caused the steering drag link to violently push/pull on the steering causing the potential deadly condition essentially the steering was steering left and right without my control. After replacing the traction bar and front end linkage the truck performed as it should with no further issues, this is a problem that is extremely common among Ram owners of 2002-20010 trucks. Check out "Dodge Ram death wobble" on youtube it is a problem that Dodge ignores, and when reported isn't aware on how to fix. It occurred on all road types and usually started at a bump or pot hole. Here's a link of many with the exact same problem. Https://www.youtube.com/watch?V=hnxs7X55D9C&feature=youtu.be

The passenger track bar mount and shock mount has fractures in the welds to the axle housing. The shock bracket underneath wear the bottom of the passenger shock bolts in is completely broken and the bottom of the shock is just floating with no stability. This is a factory weld and the 2013-2014S have the same issue but are the only ones with an official recall. It's been reported on many previous years and Chrysler/Dodge will not fix it. I am unable to take a picture of the the shock bolt as it is blocked by the track bar mount, but I did get the track bar mount clearly with the major fractures. There are more on the inner side of the passenger axle housing. This creates a major safety issue if it completely fails.

Death wobble / as I was coming down on ramp to I-205 after leaving hannah Dodge as speed reached 55 I hit a small bump in pave and truck shook so violently I had to hit brakes as vehicle pulled left then right to shoulder where I came to a stop. This first happened as I reached 164th and hwy. 14 at 64 mph and hit asphalt patch on overpass and was steering to the left lane when truck started shuddering violently and pulling to right as I hit brakes. Luckily on both occasions no traffic was to my right or behind me or I'm sure an accident could have occurred.

My 2007 Dodge 2500 truck with a 5.9 diesel has experienced, what has been widely known as, death wobble. I would describe this as an uncontrollable loss of control when going over a bump or (more especially) an uneven change in the roadway like when going over overpasses or bridges. This is prevalent on the highway at speeds of 60 mph plus. My truck currently only has 70,000 miles and has been impeccably maintained. The entire truck and steering shakes and the only way to stay alive is to brake heavily until it stops, usually at 30 to 40 mph. This is not safe in any way, but especially on the highway. The truck has had this issue for years and happens without warning. I took the truck to my dealership and they said off the record, "sorry, we know it happens, but we have no solution." Death wobble...everyone knows about it. Not gonna fix it. Hhmmmmm.

Experienced severe/uncontrollable "death wobble" after running over pothole on frwy. At 70-75mph. Occurred South of tucson, AZ. And 6-7 times again on way to dallas after a road imperfections was encountered. Had to keep speed below 65mph and reduced air in front tires to mitigate severity of resulting wobble.

Typical very scary death wobble after hitting a bump while making a curve at 60 mph. Has happened more than once.

- Ten Sleep, WY, USA

In motion on hwy at 55-60 mph coming out of a right turn. Right side tires entered a dip in the road and heard a metal bang sound. Truck began to rock from side to side, up and down violently causing loss of steering control while the whole family screams. Braking made it worse. Coasting to below 50 mph corrected the rocking. Found the electronic sway bar hanging loose below truck. Suspension bracket for sway bar was broken at rear bolt location and bent down. Dealership states left front ball joints need replacing also and may have contributed to loss of control. Dealership said nothing is covered under previous recalls 11V350000 or 13V528000. $3400. Estimate.
