NHTSA Complaint #10485946 — 2005 DODGE RAM 2500

HAVING EXPERIENCED THE "DODGE DEATH WOBBLE" SEVERAL TIMES, I AM ALREADY CAUTIOUS WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I WAS CROSSING A BRIDGE AND HIT THE EXPANSION JOINT ON THE EXIT SIDE. THE TRUCK VEERS HARD LEFT AND I CROSS THE MIDDLE LINES AND AM HALFWAY INTO THE OTHER LANE. I HAD THE WHEEL TURNED NINETY DEGREES PAST STRAIGHT AND THE TRUCK CONTINUED PULLING LEFT. A MOTORIST IN AN ONCOMING CAR VEERED SHARPLY RIGHT AND WE NARROWLY MISSED A HEAD ON COLLISION. THE TRUCK STARTED TO RESPOND TO MY TURNING RIGHT AS ALL THE OTHER OCCUPANTS ASKED WHAT HAPPENED. I SHOWED THEM HOW FAR I WAS TURNING RIGHT TO GO STRAIGHT, AND I LET THE WHEEL TURN BACK TO CENTER AND THE TRUCK DARTS HARD LEFT AGAIN. BY THIS TIME I HAD GREATLY REDUCED MY SPEED, SO IT WAS MUCH MORE CONTROLLED. I PULLED OVER AND INSPECTED THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK, EXPECTING TO FIND SOMETHING BROKEN OR DISCONNECTED, BUT IT WAS ALL THERE AND RIGHT. I HAD MY WIFE TURN THE WHEEL BACK AND FORTH AND IT WAS ALL FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. NOT KNOWING WHAT ELSE TO DO I CAUTIOUSLY PULLED BACK ONTO HIGHWAY AND IT WAS FINE. WE WERE ALMOST IN A SERIOUS COLLISION. I HAVE ZERO CONFIDENCE IN THIS VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR
