NHTSA Complaint #10369426 — 2005 DODGE RAM 3500

I JUST PURCHASED A DODGE RAM 3500 4WD DRW, FROM A DEALERSHIP 200 MILES AWAY. ON THE WAY HOME I DROVE OVER A BRIDGE ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE TRUCK WENT INTO A VIOLENT SHAKE THAT WAS CLOSE TO BEING UNCONTROLLABLE. IT DID IT 2 MORE TIMES THAT NIGHT. EVERYTIME I DRIVE OVER 55MPH AND HIT A BUMP IT SETS WHAT IS CALLED THE DEATH WOBBLE OFF. I HAVE REPLACED STEERING STABILIZER WITH A LARGER ONE, NEW TRACK BAR BUSHINGS, OUTER TIE ROD END, HAD THE WHEELS AND TIRES CHECKED AND BALANCED, AND AN ALIGNMENT DONE. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP, A BIG TRUCK ALIGNMENT SHOP, AND A 4WHEEL DRIVE SHOP. ALL OF THEM SAID IT CHECKS OUT GOOD BUT THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM. EVERYONE WHO HAS DROVE IT COMES BACK SCARED! THIS IS A VEHICLE THAT COULD REALLY CAUSE A BAD ACCIDENT IF NOT CONTROLLED OR FIXED. THE DEALERS ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND SAY IT IS A DESIGN FLAW. DODGE NEEDS TO RECALL THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED. *TR
