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?

The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Ram 2500. While driving 55 mph, the steering wheel became difficult to steer. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact turned on the emergency lights and coasted the vehicle over to the side of the road. The contact depressed the brake pedal, but it failed to stop the vehicle. The contact shifted into first gear and was able to stop the vehicle. An independent mechanic arrived at the scene and diagnosed that the water pump failed.

The contact took the defective water pump to albany Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (located at 2315 santiam hwy SE, albany, or 97322, (541) 967-9105). The contact was informed that the water pump was defective and the design was different. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 25,426. Consumer stated the narrative on this form describes the 2nd failed water pump at 87K miles. The first water pump failed at 25K. At this low of miles, this vehicle is on the 3rd water pump. Is there a design flaw? three water pumps in 87K miles is just not normal. It is extremely dangerous when steering and brakes fail when driving in traffic at highway speeds.

Vehicle cuts often without any indication that anything is wrong. It does it any speed and there is no power steering, no brakes. This happened the first time at freeway speed and nearly caused a rear end collision because of the sudden and nearly uncontrollable stop.

I have a 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 power wagon with only 131K miles. As I was driving on the highway home from work at around 60 mph my whole front end started to shake like crazy and I almost lost control of the truck. I had to stop and pull off the road. Looking under the truck I do not see anything that looks broken or damaged. So I went online and alot of people online had the same issue as I did. I was told they are open recalls for front end parts going bad on my truck year model. I called my local dealer the service tech was happy to help until I said recall issues on the front end on the truck then all of a sudden his data base system went down so he will have to call me back. All I need is just a answer on if there is a open recalll so that I can have it repaired. Right now I am scared to move my truck.

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.

Death wobble/ happened 3X once pulling a trailer/ Dodge dealer told me no recall on mine. To avoid getting in an accident I paid a professional Dodge mechanic out of pocket over $1000 to rebuild complete front end, all components. Still happened so he resorted to an xtra heavy duty after market steering stabilizer called a rancho. Then put a new steering gear box on and a new set of Michelin tires and it hasn't occurred since. However I'm out of pocket about $2500. Not a word from Chrysler or a dime in restitution. Do I have any recourse now that I've discovered this agreement with ntsba & fiatchrysler. A word from Chrysler would have been nice since I own 5 2007 pkups 1 2012 durango & a 1999 Dodge Ram 3500. I don't know how to send documents on here but I can document all of this and testimony from 1 certified Dodge mechanic and another Colorado certified front end specialist. If it's neede I can mail copies of receipts or contact one of these lemon lawyers I just read about. Thanks for your time and attention to this very disappointing experience with Dodge : I really liked them but am unsure now of their safety. It always happened at about 50-55 mph, always in a curve after hitting a bump. Once put me in the medium with a trailer load of hay. Still wondering how I didn't kill somebody.
