Consumer Description

I HAVE RECENTLY EXPERIENCED "THE DEATH WOBBLE" IN MY TRUCK. (2010 DODGE RAM 2500) I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 75 MILES PER HOUR, WHEN I HIT A SMALL BUMP AND MY TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY ON THE FRONT END. APPLYING MY BREAKS DID NOT HELP. ALL I COULD DO IS HOLD ON FOR THE RIDE UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES PER HOUR. I PULLED OVER AND EXAMINED MY TRUCK THINKING THAT SOMETHING WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED DUE TO THE EXTREME NATURE OF THE INCIDENT AND COULD NOT FIND ANY DAMAGES. I SLOWLY DROVE HOME AFRAID OF IT HAPPENING AGAIN. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE VIOLENT SHAKING IN MY TRUCK WAS CALLED UNTIL I RESEARCHED THIS SCARY EXPERIENCE. UPON CONDUCTING MY RESEARCH, I LEARNED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE. I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN IT IN FOR A COUPLE OF RECALL ITEMS REGARDING STEERING ISSUES. I AM AFRAID THEY MAY HAVE REPLACED ANY RECALL ITEMS WITH FAULTY PARTS.
