I was towing my travel trailer and entered a slight left turn at approximately 50mph when my front driver side tire started to shake/wobble uncontrollably. I slowed down and it stopped. Dealership replaced both front hubs and bearings. When I hit a small bump while turning and not towing, it still shakes/wobbles uncontrollably. I notified dealership about it and they still failed to make the repair. The vehicle is still under warranty.

The truck was recalled and a temporary weld was placed on the front steering alignment until parts could be obtained for a permanent fix. Now it shows as repaired but a permanet repair was never made. I can not align my steering because it is welded. At the very least this will cause uneven tire wear and premature replacement

While driving the truck and turning slightly left, I hit a small bump on the road and my truck started vibrating uncontrollably and I lost the ability to steer the vehicle. The vehicle vibrated so hard that I slid across other lanes of traffic to my right without being able to steer. I brought the vehicle to a complete stop on the side of the road. After the complete stop, I was able to drive and steer the vehicle. Since this incident happened, I have had the same issue happen when I'm driving while turning and hitting a bump. I've had this happen on interstate highways, state highways and flyover on ramps. The dealership does not know what is wrong and is unable to fix the problem at the moment.

Many consumers are referring to the issue as "death wobble". at highway speeds (50+) any slight bump will cause a violent wobble in the steering. There was a safety recall (R46) for 2013-2014S and Chrysler indicated they took care of the issue but I am having the same issue with my 2015 Ram 3500 laramie longhorn. In addition, the truck goes thru front tires in 10-15K miles.

Takata recall when driving my vehicle on the highway or freeway at high speeds of 65 to 80 mph the whole truck begins to vibrate.have gotten it checked mechanically for faults.tires have been checked as well as steering components and suspension and everything is in good shape.was told that its normal for a 2015 Ram 3500 dually to vibrate so much.its not.there absolutely no readon why a newish truck should vibrate so much that it feels like its going to fall apart on its own.its not normal and all the people on the forums with the same problem have been told by the dealers that it is normal.it is a driving hazard that its only a matter of time before Dodge has lawsuits on its front door for neglicence on their part for the bad vibrations making bolts fall off and causing a wreck.

I have a new 2015/3500 dually, with air ride, advertised at 30K towing capacity, the air ride system doesn't work, it has the death wobble in the front end, the lights flicker at night when it's cold, the roof has leaked water since I took delivery in the last week of July 2015, it has been in the shop more than I have been able to drive it, almost lost control at freeway speeds several times when hitting a bump, the dealer and Chrysler say it is overloaded because I have a toolbox and a fuel tank in the back, I have weighed it myself on certified scales, and it's not overloaded, it has most recently been in the shop since the first Monday in Jan. The 4th, 23 days so far, and they haven't even got the roof leak fixed, I told them you still haven't fixed the air ride system, or addressed the lights flickering at night in cold weather, can someone please do some intervention, this truck was 72K new and a lemon from day one.
