Consumer Description

MY '04 2500 DODGE RAM PICKUP EXPERIENCED WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE TODAY. A VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE FRONT AXEL, WHICH RESULTS IN ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE, EXCEPT FOR BRAKING AND MINIMAL STEERING. MY TWO YEAR OLD SON WAS PRESENT FOR THIS, AND IT ABSOLUTELY SCARED HIM TO DEATH. ACCORDING TO MANY ONLINE SITES, THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE IN DODGE RAM HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS THAT I HAD NO IDEA EXISTED. MY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS ISSUE ALMOST, WHAT I BELIEVE, COST ME AND MY SON OUR LIFE. THE TRUCK WILL BE PARKED UNTIL I CAN MAKE TIME TO GET IT A DEALERSHIP AND HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. *TR
