This was worse that the first time. I had several new parts put in. I was able to get it stopped at about 20 MPH

Ram 3500 4 X 4 Cumins 5.9L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 240,199 miles

This was really bad. Very violent. I could not steer it until I got it slowed to about 10 MPH. I hit the brakes as hard as I could. Had we been crossing a bridge we would have hit the side rail on the right. Have to do something but I don't know what. Told my wife who was with me that this is an engineering design flaw.

Ram 3500 SE 5.9L

  • Manual transmission
  • 103,000 miles

Dodge has denied any recall associated with my truck. Everything, ball joints, etc has been replaced. No one can find the problem. Dodge dealers all play stupid. The death wobble is violent shaking in the steering after hitting a bump. You have to slow to 30 mph to get it to stop. I've complained since I had 75000 miles in it! I don't highway drive it anymore, only feel safe at slow speeds! Someone is going to get killed!
