NHTSA Complaint #10291849 — 2006 DODGE RAM 2500

WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT 65MPH AND HIT A SMALL BUMP AND THE FRONT END OF TRUCK (2006 DODGE RAM 2500) STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY UP AND DOWN AND FROM SIDE TO SIDE. I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY PULL TO RIGHT LANE AND BRAKE TO GET OFF THE ROAD (LUCKILY NO CAR TO THE SIDE OF ME AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT). ONCE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN TO APPROXMIATELY 30 MPH THE SHAKING STOPPED. I HAVE LOOKED THIS UP ONLINE AND FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM - CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN VERY SERIOUSLY AND CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE TO MAKE THE FIX. I DID NOT HAVE MY CHILDREN IN THE TRUCK AT THE TIME OF THIS INCIDENT, BUT IT IS USED AS A FAMILY VEHICLE. I CALLED THE DODGE DEALER AND OF COURSE THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM - FIND THIS VERY HARD TO BELIEVE. I THEN CALLED THE TRUCK CENTER WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE (NOT AFFILIATED WITH CHRYSLER) - THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE HAD MANY CUSTOMERS COMPLAIN OF THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL. THERE WAS NOT A CRASH THIS TIME, BUT THERE VERY WELL COULD HAVE BEEN. *TR
