Consumer Description
I HAVE A DODGE 2007 2500 PICKUP 4X4 DIESEL 6.7. I HAVE EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT SHAKING WHEN DRIVING 55-70 MPH AND HITTING A RIDGE OR EXPANSION JOINT ON THE ROAD. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE TIRES AFTER THE FIRST TWO TIMES IT HAPPENED, I REPLACED THE TIRES AND EXPERIENCED IT 3 MORE TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET IT TO THE SHOP. AFTER GETTING A ROD REPLACED IN THE FRONT END AND THE SHOP STATING IT WAS FIXED, IT HAPPENED AGAIN WITHIN THE NEST 150 MILES. I BEGAN SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR ANSWERS AND CAME ACROSS THE "DODGE DEATH WOBBLE" AND FOUND THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR THIS TRUCK FOR YEARS. I REALLY BELIEVED WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE FIRST FEW TIMES, I WAS ABOUT TO WRECK OR WORSE, WRECK SOMEONE ELSE. THE TRUCK SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY THE DRIVER HAS ZERO CONTROL. IT MUST LOOK PRETTY BAD FROM OTHER DRIVERS VIEWS AS THEY QUICKLY STOP AND GET OUT OF THE WAY. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO A NEW TRUCK AND SHOULD BE A RECALL AND NOT MAKE THE BUYER HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE PARTS REPLACED AS I HAVE HAD TO DO. THE TRUCK IS SO BAD I CANNOT ALLOW IT TO BE DRIVEN BY MY WIFE OR ANYONE ELSE FOR FEAR THEY COULD BE KILLED. MY WIFE WORRIES EVERY TIME I GO TO WORK AS THIS HAS BECOME A BIG SOURCE OF STRESS IN OUR LIVES. *TR
