Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 DODGE 1500 MEGACAB TRUCK AT 70 MPH, THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND OUT OF CONTROL. I HELD IT AS STRAIGHT AS I COULD AND APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE SHAKING FINALLY STOPPED AT ABOUT 20 MPH. THIS WAS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS, BECAUSE IT WAS IN THE FAST LANE OF TRAFFIC DURING RUSH HOUR. I LATER READ SOME FORUMS ON THE INTERNET THAT LABELED THIS PROBLEM THE "DEATH WOBBLE." IT APPEARS, FROM THE MANY EXPERIENCES DESCRIBED ON THE FORUMS, THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH DODGE. *TR
