Entering freeway from a stop light and hit a small bump send the truck into violent and uncontrollable shaking and loss of steering. Because it has happened before, this time I tried accelerating out of it but did not work. Finally I stopped at the solder of the highway without causing an accident. Since then I have received two recall notices from Dodge, took the truck every time to the local dealer, reno Dodge, and both times they said my truck is not effected by those recalls including today. Almost on a daily basis I hit bumps that almost put the truck in that "dance of death". finally I did an internet search and found numerous accounts of the identical cases under comparable conditions. I wish I could sell my truck and get a new one but financially is completely out of the question. Sooner or later the same thing will happen an I will hurt someone or myself of both. I hope you can help.

Recieved notification of part recall N62/nhtsa13V-528 in December 2013. Had vehicle inspected 01-06-2014 vehicle identified needed part changed. Was told parts were not available at that time, only 2 parts per week being delivered. I was number 100 on list. At that rate it would have taken 2 yrs - keep receiving warning notices about safety and if this part fails it's fatal and how concerned Chrysler was for my safety.. yet no parts. Contacted local dealership 4 times, they said I was on the list to be called and notified when part came in- never got a call. I called dealership 6-27-14 and was told the parts are here -nobody knew why I hadn't been called. (kendall Dodge Chrysler Jeep at 1824 main in lewiston Idaho 83501 - 208-743-9493. Very unhappy, frustrated with Dodge, won't buy another.

Driving pu @ 65 mph/highway. Exited to convenience store. When departing/heard clunk noise/steering did not respond. Discovered front end parts dropped to ground/totally disconnected, etc. Towed to certified front end repair facility. Shop recommended most parts be replaced with mopar hd parts kit because original factory parts not replaced are not compatible w/mopar hd replacement kit. One week later after emergency repair completed I received recall notice citing possible steering system failure. Made contact w/case manager/Chrysler and submitted all receipts. Call back informed original equipment parts not covered only replacement parts replacing original faulty parts/by dealer only. Help! could have been much worse if failure had happened on hwy at high speed. Warning was just plain too late to go to dealer only.Chrysler link for requesting all docs is faulty and only gave 7 day window allowing request. Finally have fax # to request written decline from Chrysler. Advise please.

While traveling on the highway at 65 miles per hr if I hit a bump or the spaces on the road by overpasses( the space between the regular road and the overpass) the whole front-end of the truck vibrates to the extent that I loose control of the truck not being able to steer of slow down (using the breaks) due to the severe vibrations( I researched this and in my research they refer to this as the death wobble. I think that this is a problem that needs attention before people are killed due to this well known defect known by Dodge as they have changed certain parts known to cause this so called death wobble. Please advise if anything can be done to remedy this dangerously deadly problem.

Driving along a smooth recently paved road with no bumps. In left lane driving and suddenly lose control of steering. The vehicle shakes violently and begins to veer to the left and steering is beyond my control. The vehicle goes over the median and crosses both oncoming lanes of traffic. Applying the brakes, the vehicle comes to a stop barely a foot before a concrete wall, coming to rest perpendicularly with the bed of the truck blocking the entire right oncoming lane. There was no warning to this happening. No rattling or otherwise to allow me to pull over and inspect the vehicle. This was sudden, and extremely dangerous. Considerations are what if this had happened at 50-60 mph on the highway" what if it had happened with oncoming traffic? what if there were pedestrians present? after inspection, it was determined that the ball joint and socket had worn to such a degree that the ball just slipped out while driving. So far great effort by the dealership and Chrysler has been made to attempt to convince me that this is a natural occurrence and that there was nothing unusual about this happening. Also, they will not assume the cost for making the tie rod ends road-worthy again, which to them is $1,200. No warning signs. Is it the customer's responsibility to pay for not only an entirely new steering kit but any damages that may have come from the "natural accident" of the tie rod end suddenly and irreversibly popping out of its socket? since when has it been acceptable for a vehicle to be declared road-worthy and yet the sudden and unannounced failing of steering to come with no warnings" on Dodge's flagship heavy-duty truck no less. The customer should be responsible for normal wear and tear, but I contend that this is by no means normal and Dodge should cover me for the cost of putting in a safe steering linkage.
