DEATH WOBBLE. The first time I got this was going downhill pulling my 40' 5th wheel passing a semi. I thought I had a blowout and had to pull into the media, then had it several more times that day. Talked to my friend which sells tires and he told me it was tires to rotate them so I did. Didn't have the wobble for another 10,000 miles. I finally pushed all new tires and it seemed to go away and now is back again. I have replaced the steering shock several times now and now purchasing a Hell bent steel Steering Box Stabilizer.
We are full time RV's. The last couple times I took it to the dealer it was worse then I took it in. I DON'T TRUST THE DEALERS
If it still does it I guess the ball joints will be replaced AT MY EXPENSE. I have had other Ram trucks with minor problems. It's to the point now I hate to drive this truck because of the wobble but being retired can't afford another.
Death Wobble it gets so bad on the interstate I almost lost control of the my Dodge Ram 3500 2012 before I could get over to the side of the interstate and stop and start again. I almost got hit by a semi.
I purchased this vehicle with 36k miles and it went into death wobble the first bump I hit with the left front wheel.
I have called Dodge and they simply stonewall me. The recall joke had already been played on the previous owner and I believe they sold this vehicle because of this problem. I have taken it to several mechanics and alignment shops to no avail. Dodge knows this problem exists and does not care!
There is a number to Chrysler 1-800-992-1997 they told me my truck was a defected one that was part of the buy back. Then they said a couple days later that it isn't, now they are saying that they will let me and everyone else know "in the weeks to come". I think they want us to put as much depreciation on the trucks as possible so they don't have to pay as much. And I took my truck in to a dealership to have a service and one recall done for the electrical part on the fuel heater a day and a half later the truck is finally ready turns out there was several things they said was recalled all part of the buy back complaints. My truck shakes worse after they so called fixed it.
