REFERENCE THE BELOW COMPLAINT, AND OTHERS: DATE COMPLAINT FILED: 03/02/2015 COMPONENT(S): POWER TRAIN , SUSPENSION DATE OF INCIDENT: 10/01/2014 NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10691476 DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH ON WINDING TWO LANE COUNTRY ROAD, WHILE EXECUTING CURVE TO RIGHT, AFTER PASSING OVER A SLIGHT BUMP IN THE ROAD, FRONT SUSPENSION ENTERED WHAT IS COMMONLY CALLED A " DEATH WOBBLE". STEERING QUICKLY BECAME INEFFECTIVE, BRAKING WAS DIMINISHED DUE TO LOSS OF FIRM CONTACT BETWEEN FRONT TIRES AND ROAD SURFACE. WOBBLE IS REGENERATIVE IN THAT IT CONTINUES TO GET WORSE UNTIL VEHICLE SPEED IS REDUCED TO 15-20 MPH. I WAS UNABLE TO PRECISELY CONTROL DIRECTION OF TRAVEL, CROSSING INTO ONCOMING LANE BEFORE REDUCING SPEED ENOUGH TO REGAIN CONTROL. VEHICLE SHAKES SO BAD AS TO DISLODGE ITEMS FROM THE DASH AND CONSOLE POCKETS. THIS EVENT REPEATED SEVERAL TIMES AT A PARTICULAR SPOT ON MY WAY TO WORK, WHERE THERE WAS AN IRREGULARITY IN THE...

SAFETY RECALL N62 - LEFT TIE ROD BALL STUD I'VE BEEN TOLD THE PARTS ARE STILL UNAVAILABLE AFTER I'VE CALLED EVERY 1-2 MONTHS SINCE JULY 1, 2014. ON FEBRUARY 1, 2015 IT WILL HAVE BEEN SIX MONTHS SINCE I'VE REQUESTED RESOLVE IN THIS MATTER THROUGH: HURLEY CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM 2173 SOUTH WOODLAND BLVD., DELAND,FL 32720 SALES:(888) 736-6912 SERVICE:(888) 736-6914 PARTS:(888) 737-5717 CURRENTLY, I'M DEVELOPING VIBRATION IN MY STEERING AND AM CONCERNED SOMETHING DANGEROUS MAY BE DEVELOPING. ARE THESE PARTS EVEN MANUFACTURED ANY LONGER? ANY UPDATE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.

MY TRUCK VIOLENTLY SHAKES WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP AT APPROX. 55 MPH OR GREATER. IT ALSO WANDERS AND IS VERY TOUGH TO STEER WHEN THE VIBRATION STARTS. IT SEEMS TO BE CONSISTENT TO THOUSAND OF OTHER COMPLAINTS BYE RAM 2500 OWNERS I HAVE READ ABOUT ONLINE AND WATCHED VIDEOS REGARDING THERE "DODGE DEATH WOBBLE" NIGHTMARES WITH THE TRUCKS. I RECENTLY CONSULTED WITH THE DEALER AND THEY OFFER A STEERING LINKAGE "UPGRADE KIT" FOR APPROX. $1200 INSTALLED. FROM WHAT I HAVE RESEARCHED IS THE KIT DOESN'T ALWAYS FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE A 2007 DODGE RAM 2500 WITH ONLY 55,000 MILES ON IT THAT I WILL NOT DRIVE OVER 55 MPH. IT TERRIFIES ME WHEN IT SHUTTERS SO BAD. I CANNOT BELIEVE A $45,000 TRUCK NEW PRICED IS UNDRIVEABLE OVER 50 MPH DUE TO THE UNGODLY SHAKING. I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS HAS ESCAPED RECALL WITH MILLIONS OF OWNERS COMPLAINING...

MY SON ([XXX]) WAS DRIVING ALONG KING COLLEGE ROAD, BRISTOL,TENNESSEE AT ABOUT 8:55PM ON DECEMBER 4, 2014 MY VEHICLE BECAME UNSTEERABLE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE LEFT FRONT TIRE ROD APPARENTLY BROKE AND HE WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT HE HAD TAKEN IT TO A LOCAL DODGE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. COME TO FIND OUT IT APPEARS SOMEONE ERRONEOUSLY LISTED THE VEHICLE IN THE SYSTEM AS BEING REPAIRED AND IT WAS NEVER REPAIRED. I BELIEVE SOMEONE LISTED IT SO CHRYSLER WOULD NOT HAVE TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE AND IT COULD HAVE COST MY SON'S LIFE WHEN THE TIRE ROD BROKE. I AM REQUESTING THAT AN INVESTIGATION BE CONDUCTED TO SEE WHO ERRONEOUSLY LISTED THE VEHICLE AS BEING REPAIRED. THANK YOU INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED BY THE MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. I HAVE ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER AND THEY WILL NOT ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM MORE THAN LIKELY BECAUSE THERE WOULD BE A RECALL AND MUCH MONEY TO SPEND. I HAVE ALSO ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM WITH MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE MAINTAINED THE SAME POSITION AS CHRYSLER. UPON RESEARCHING THE NET MANY HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM IS AS FOLLOWS; AT SPEEDS OF 55 TO 70 MPH, UPON HITTING NORMAL POT HOLES (NORMAL FOR CALIF POT HOLES) THE VEHICLE WILL GO INTO A VIOLENT SHAKING. THIS IS SHAKING OF THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WHERE THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO SLOW TO ABOUT 30. SO NEEDLESS TO SAY IT HAPPENS MAINLY ON THE FREEWAY. MY...

REPORTED CALLS TO MULTIPLE DODGE DEALERSHIPS HAVE NOT BEEN PRODUCTIVE SINCE THEY ALL REPEATEDLY STATE THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS FOR THE REPAIR.

THIS GOVERNMENT VEHICLE HAS BEEN DEEMED 'UNSAFE' TO DRIVE DUE TO THE AFFECTED UNAVAILABLE PARTS.
