Consumer Description

THERE IS EXTENSIVE DEATH WOBBLE IN MY TRUCK AND MAKES IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON AND RECOGNIZED PROBLEM BY DODGE/CHRYSLER FOR THEIR DODGE RAM LINE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND AN IDENTIFIED DESIGN FLAW. IT OBVIOUSLY HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE TO NEARLY STOP THE TRUCK TO CALM THE SHAKING.
