“While traveling on the highway, when I'm at highway speeds and I hit a bump in the road the entire front end of the truck shakes and bounces uncontrollably until I slow to around 50 MPH. I have had ball joints, tie rods, shocks and steering stabilizer replaced, plus new tires and multiple alignments performed. My master mechanic said non of this will remedy the issue. The y type steering setup is the problem, the dealer told me it needs to be updated to the 09 steering but it's not covered under recall. …”

“We have a Dodge ram with the death wobble it has gotten so bad we are scared to drive it started happening at 20,000mi. Has gotten worse as time goes on . Was happening at 80 mi per hr now it can happen at 50 mi per hr. This should be recalled but instead Dodge is making money on it per it's very expensive to fix. Please help need to fix it but dont have the money right now to do so. Havent had a accident yet thank god but have come soooooooo close .”

“I was driving and hit a bumpy place in the road and the whole truck started shaking uncontrollably. I had to stop on the freeway before I could get it under control. We took it to the dealership where we purchased it and they said there is nothing wrong with it. We have since done research and found this problem to affect alot of these vehicles. To those that experience it we call it the death wobble because there is nothing you can do except stop and hope you don't get into an accident.”

NHTSA complaint #10457493, filed 2012-05, 65,000 miles

“While driving my 2007 Dodge 3500 ram 6.7l dual, 6spd manual, pulling my camper (well within towing limits,) I went over a bump on an overpass. The vehicle began jumping around violently and I left the roadway due to loss of steering and brake function. The even was so violent, my radiator broke, and I lost all of my coolant. My front end was destroyed, as well as many systems damaged. The interior of the truck suffered damage as well. There are many noises, vibrations, and smells that have not gone away. I found out that this is a problem so common, that it has a nickname, the death wobble. …”
