“I was driving my normal route home on I-65. Just before my exit, there is an overpass on I-65 you must go over. The expansion joint is diagonal to the interstate. I have gone over this joint thousands of times before,in my other vehicle. Driving my new truck, I went over the joint and the truck jumped to the right. It scared me but I assumed it was because I wasn't accustomed to driving the new vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10497817, filed 2013-02, 5,600 miles“I was traveling on the interstate at 70 MPH hit a small bump and the front end started shaking violently,the steering wheel was almost uncontrollable.

NHTSA complaint #10475787, filed 2012-09, 23,160 miles“Driving on the baltime beltway (695) after driving over a couple of bumps in the road my steering wheel started to shake violently out of control and the truck was shaking and bouncing all over the road like a jumping jack. Other cars that were around me at the time were getting out of my proximity as I was all over the road and had to slow down to almost a stop. I actually ended up on the shoulder of the road when it was all over. This highway is 55 MPH and usually congested.”
NHTSA complaint #10537133, filed 2013-08, 16,200 miles“I was on the highway doing around 75 and hit a small bump and all 4 tires locked up, the steering wheel and column shook violently, the dashboard and everything shook really hard. I started to hit the brakes and did not let go of the steering wheel even if it was shaking hard. My truck started to go onto the shoulder then went into the grass on the right and came to a stop. It was still running and I got out to look at the tires and underneath but nothing was wrong. …”
NHTSA complaint #10470240, filed 2012-08, 31,300 miles“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. …”
