Driving 60 mph or greater and hit a bump the front end will violently shake and you have to pull over and slow way down to stop it. There was a recall for nr 62 parts but that doesn't stop the Dodge death wobble. This is going to cause an accident and kill someone. Dodge will not reimburse me for the repairs that I paid for that included the recall NR62. The repairs were done before I received the recall. In the recall it is stated that they would pay for repairs if they were already done. Everyone one seems to know about the Dodge death wobble but won't fix it.
