The contact owns a 2008 Dodge Ram. While driving 65 mph on normal road conditions, the vehicle unexpectedly wandered to the left. This was a sudden change in direction. The driver pulled over to the side of the road and noticed that the tires exhibited excessive wear. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and they stated that the grease seal was leaking. The grease seal, steering linkages, and both tie rod ends were replaced. The VIN was excluded from NHTSA campaign id number 09E001000 (steering;linkages), although the failures were identical. The failure mileage was 12,798 and current mileage was 13,534.

I own an 08 Dodge Ram 2500 with approx 970 miles on the vehicle. After hitting a series of road bumps, the front end of the vehicle began to violently vibrate and wobble. I could barely control the vehicle due to a near lack of steering control. After completely stopping the vehicle, I resumed speed and the vehicle drove normally. When I got home I did an internet search on my vehicle symptoms and found that "Dodge death wobble" yielded over 35K hits. There is a systemic problem with large Ram trucks that, according to my research is not being adequately addressed. The dealer replaced the steering stabilizer - a common replacement according to my research. Symptoms, however, continue to exist after this part is replaced - another common theme according to my research.
