Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The front left tire came into contact with a small bump while slightly turning left. It violently started wobbling making it nearly impossible to maintain control, and will only stop when your speed reaches under 25 MPH. The death wobble was very unpredictable when it first started happening, but now it is constantly threatening. I took the truck to auto nation Dodge ram on arapahoe rd in colorado back in may of 2014. I asked them to fix all recalls, and described to them what was happening. The invoice I received claimed to have fixed just a few recalls that did not fix the main problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #10654544, filed 2014-11, 100,000 miles“Experienced an extreme loss of control due to a wobble/vibration that would only stop when you slowed to a speed under 25 MPH. The death wobble would go away but a slight vibration associated with a loose feeling in the steering is now constant. #94v202000, 94v097000, 93v173000, and 01v037000 all need replacing. The last recall mentioned here is the speed control throttle cable, and so far it has not been a problem. The possible effects due to its failure urges me to replace this part.”
NHTSA complaint #10658464, filed 2014-11, 100,000 miles“Dt: the vehicle shimmies severely and when the consumer hit a pothole the vehicle went out of control and he had to stop to get control again. This happened without warning. The consumer stated this has happened one other time about a year ago, and it happened two times this past weekend. Dealer said they could not duplicate the problem the first time and could not find what was wrong. The second time consumer took a TSB#190596 and the dealer said it did not apply to consumer vehicle.”
