VEHICLE SWAYS BACK AND FORTH DUE TO STEERING LINKAGE

UNCONTROLLABLE STEERING OR FRONT END WOBBLING. AKA DEATH WOBBLE, ACCORDING TO MY VEHICLE HISTORY THERE ARE RECALLS THAT ARE FOR STEERING AND THE DESCRIPTION OF ALL THOSE RECALLS SAY WHAT COULD HAPPEN WHICH IS A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL RESULTING IN A CRASH. ALL THE RECALLS THAT I KNOW OF HAVE BEEN REPLACED. BUT I STILL HAVE INCIDENTS WHERE I LOSE CONTROL OF STEERING AND IN ORDER FOR IT TO STOP, I HAVE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD MANY MANY CLOSE CALLS, AND HOPING THAT THIS DOESN'T RESULT IN A LOSS OF A VEHICLE OR EVEN DEATH. IT'S A VERY BIG CONCERN TO ME CONSIDERING THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS FOR THE STEERING AND FRONT END. IT WILL OCCUR AS SOON AS I HIT A BUMP JUST RIGHT NOT EVEN AT HIGH SPEED IT HAPPENS AT 35-70 MPH NO MATTER IF IT'S FLAT GROUND OR NOT. THE ENTIRE TRUCK...

AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY. REFERRED TO AS A DEATH WOBBLE. NEEDED TO SLOW TRUCK TO BRING IT BACK UNDER CONTROL.

DODGE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO PROBLEMS WITH THE AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE CLOCKSPRING WAS REPLACED ON THREE SEPERATE OCCASIONS, BUT THERE IS STILL A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED TERRIBLE FRONT END WOBBLE, VERY SCARY. HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. HUSBAND NORMALLY DRIVES TRUCK THIS IS FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE.

TRACK BAR MOUNT CAME OFF OF THE FRAME OF THE TRUCK ......PULLING ONTO ROAD FROM DRIVEWAG

MY 2009 DODGE RAM 2500 STARTED HOPPING AFTER I HIT A SLIGHT BUMP IN THE ROAD. I WAS GOING ABOUT 50MPH WHEN THUS HAPPENED. I COULD DO NOTHING BUT TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN. IT LITERALLY HOPPED DOWN THE ROAD , IT FELT LIKE WE WERE IN A PAINT MIXER BOUNCING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE BUT WAS NEVER AS BAD AS THIS TIME. MY WIFE WAS WITH ME THIS TIME AND COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT IT WAS DOING. SHE TOLD ME IF SHE HAD BEEN DRIVING SHE WOULD HAVE PANICKED AND MOST LIKELY WRECKED THE TRUCK. EVERYTHING IN THE TRUCK WAS BEING TOSSED AROUND. THIS ISSUE MUST BE CORRECTED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR WORSE.

2009 DODGE RAM 2500 HAS WHAT IS DESCRIBED BY MANY AS "DEATH WOBBLE". AT FREEWAY SPEEDS (70MPH HERE IN MI) IF SOME EVEN MINOR BUMPS, POT HOLES ARE RUN OVER THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK STARTS TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. TO GET CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AGAIN YOU MUST SLOW TO BELOW 55MPH. MANY TIMES JUST THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT TIRE AS BOUNCING OR WOBBLING, RECENTLY THE ENTIRE FRONT END. VEHICLE HAS HAD BOTH PRIOR RECALLS FOR TIE-ROD ENDS COMPLETED. HAD FRONT SHOCKS CHANGED IN CASE THEY WERE THE ISSUE NO CHANGE, HAD TIRES CHANGED IN CASE THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH ANY OF THE TIRES, NO CHANGE. HAD BELLE TIRE TECHS LOOK FOR ISSUE WITH BOUNCING/WOBBLING TIRES THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS TIGHT AND IN WORKING ORDER. ALSO HAS ANOTHER GARAGE LOOK AT IT FOR THE SAME ISSUE THEY DID NOT FIND ANY ISSUES. THIS PROBLEM THAT LOOKS TO BE...

WHILE DRIVING THE DODGE RAM 2500 2009 YEAR ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60-65 MPH THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AFTER HITTING A JOINT IN THE ROAD BETWEEN THE ASPHALT AND A BRIDGE. I WAS UNABLE TO STEER DURING THIS TIME AND THE VEHICLE SHOOK SO VIOLENTLY THAT THE CONNECTORS VIBRATED OFF OF THE BATTERY TERMINAL, BOTH BATTERIES, AT WHICH TIME I LOST ALL POWER. THIS ALMOST RESULTED IN MY DRIVING OFF OF A BRIDGE. THE SHAKING WOULD ONLY STOP UPON COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES AT SLOWER SPEEDS BETWEEN 40-50 MPH. I EVENTUALLY HAD TO GET A TOW TRUCK TO GET US TO OUR DESTINATION. THIS HAPPENED ON HIGHWAY ROADS AND ALWAYS AFTER HITTING A SMALL BUMPS. MILEAGE ON VEHICLE IS 89500. *TR

WHILE HAVING OTHER RECALLS FIXED IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE STEERING BOX WAS LEAKING AND MAKING NOISE WHILE TURNING. THE REPAIR SHOP STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THAT THERE WERE NO REPAIR PARTS AVAILABLE. THE STEERING COULD FAIL ANYTIME. CHRYSLER /DODGE SHOULD BE FIXING THIS ISSUE AS I HAVE FOUND THAT IT IS A PROBLEM THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT. VEHICLE HAS 80,000. MILES ON IT.

I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A UNFAIR RESALE OFFER PLUS AN ADDITIONAL 10% THAT THE OFFER WAS SUPPOSE TO BE.

THE STEERING WAS SLOPPY, WOULD NOT SELF CENTER, WOULD DRIFT TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT AND NOT CORRECT. APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES AFTER THIS HAPPENED, WE HAD A BLOW OUT ON THE PASSENGER FRONT.
