NHTSA Complaint #10481249 — 2005 DODGE RAM 2500

WHILE GOING ABOUT 65 MPH, HIT A JOINT IN THE ROAD ON AN OVERPASS. THE FRONT END STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND CONTINUED TO DO SO UNTIL THE TRUCK WAS SLOWED TO ABOUT 30 MPH. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I'VE HAD IT CHECKED BY A COUPLE MECHANICS AND A DEALERSHIP. NO ONE SAW ANYTHING THAT SHOULD/WOULD CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN. AFTER THIS LAST INCIDENT, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME IT WAS THE STEERING DAMPENER. THEY NOTICED IT WAS LEAKING. I HAVE BEEN UNDER THE TRUCK BEFORE AND IT WASN'T LEAKING PRIOR TO THIS 'DEATH WOBBLE,' RATHER, I FEEL THAT IS LEAKING BECAUSE OF THE VIOLENT SHAKING. I KNOW OF 3 OTHER PEOPLE WITH 2003-2006 DODGE RAM 2500'S THAT HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS. A SIMPLE SEARCH ON THE INTERNET GETS THOUSANDS OF HITS. DODGE NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR
