Consumer Description

I OWN A 2005 DODGE RAM 2500 4X4 AND AM CONSTANTLY EXPERIENCING WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. THIS IS WHEN THE FRONT END STARTS SHAKING VIOLENTLY, TO THE POINT WHERE THE VEHICLE LOSES ALL CONTROL. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I HIT A BUMP, POTHOLE, BRIDGE, ANYTHING IN THE ROAD. THIS IS EXPERIENCED AT SPEEDS OF 30MPH AND ABOVE. I EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE ABOUT ONCE A WEEK. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE, THERE ARE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ONLINE THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. THE ISSUE IS NONE OF THEM KNOW TO FILE A COMPLAINT ON HERE TO GET THE BALL ROLLING AGAINST DAIMLER CHRYSLER. *TR
