This truck occasionally after going over a bump in the road at highway speeds will develop a jarring, constant severe vibration in the steering wheel and suspension. From what I can tell this is the "death wobble" I have seen reported online. It is a very violent vibration that can only be stopped by slowing the truck below 25-30mph. It is so severe that it feels like you are going to lose control of the vehicle. This has now happened 4 times with this vehicle. It has approximately 44,000 miles on it.

While driving the steering component brok on the vehicle which made it very unstable to drive. I had just driven the car from the dealership to home for repairs for two other warranty issues. They should have been aware of the faulty welding on the steering component at the time it was in the shop on 10/28-10/29/2015. I told them to have it towed to their shop but they ignore me and dropped an employee off to drive it. The employee attempted to drive the vehicle and almost ran off the side of the road. The employee turned around and brought the vehicle back. I had to use my aaa account to have the truck towed to them. Victor at Dodge in watsonville, ca called later to say the problem was with a recall and that they will get back to me after they talk to Chrysler.

Vehicle is designed and constructed with non adjustable camber for the front wheels. This is causing uneven wear to the front tires, outside edge now bald while rest of tire tread is intact. The only known repair is using aftermarket parts and a proper alignment along with new tires costing the consumer $1000 and $1500 per vehicle.
Hit a dip in the road at the end of a bridge and vehicle started shaking severely. I believe this was an occurrence of what had become known as "Dodge Ram death wobble". this is an unmodified 2014 Ram 3500 approximately 35000 miles on the odometer.
