Truck does not want to stay in the road. It hops to the right with the steering not being turned. Cannot tell when it is going to do it.
DEATH WOBBLE 11/28/17 YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT THE DEATH WOBBLE IS. UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING OF THE FRONT END MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STOP AND STEER TRUCK.

THIS IS THE 4TH TIME WE HAVE HAD TO GO BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEM TURN US AWAY BY DOING A VISUAL INSPECTION STATING THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK, HOWEVER WE CANNOT GET AN ALIGNMENT BECAUSE SWAY BAR, TRACK BAR, AND TIE RODS ALL NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. TOOK TRUCK BACK AGAIN AFTER THERE WAS SO MUCH POOPING NOISE AND VIBRATION FROM THE FRONT END THAT I COULD NOT TAKE IT ANYMORE. OUTER TIE RODS WERE DONE, AND FOUND OUT THE TRACK BAR WAS CRACKED SO A NEW ONE REPLACED THE ORIGINAL ONE YET NO RECORD WAS COMPLETED OF THIS WITH THE DEALERSHIP, ONLY THAT THEY TIGHTENED THE TRACK BAR. I AM SO FED UP WITH THE DEALERSHIPS AND CHRYSLER WITH ALL OF THIS NONESENSE, IT IS REALLY GOING TO COME DOWN TO US COMPLETELY HAVING A BAD ACCIDENT OR SOMETHING TO THIS EXTENT BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE,...

I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THE NEWS RECENTLY AND SAW THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE REPORTS. I HAVE THE SAME EXPERIENCE AND SAME PROBLEM WITH MY 2006 DODGE RAM 2500. I ALMOST GOT INTO TWO ACCIDENTS ON THE HIGH WAY AND ONCE MY TRUCK LOST CONTROL DUE TO THE DEATH WOBBLE AND TURNED 180 DEGREES ON THE HIGHWAY FACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC. BUT, LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND THE MECHANICS SAID I HAVE TO PAY A COUPLE THOUSAND TO REPAIR. HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC SAID HE HAS SEEN MANY JEEP AND DODGE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND SAID THE COMPANY SHOULD HAVE A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND IT IS THE MANUFACTURES FAULT. DUE TO HARD ECONOMIC TIMES I CAN NOT AFFORD TO FIX MY TRUCK AND I AM VERY SCARED FOR MY SAFETY AND MY FAMILIES. SO PLEASE HELP ME...
