VIOLENT SHAKE IN FRONT END AFTER GOING OVER BRIDGE TIRES BOUNCING NO CONTROL HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 25 MPH TO STOP IT CHANGED SHOCKS STOPPED PROBLEM FOR A FEW MONTHS BUT KEPT COMING BACK ITS CALLED THE"DEATH WOBBLE". *TR

2007 DODGE RAM 2500 - WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH THE TRUCK WHEELS GO INTO WHAT IS REFERRED TO AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AS IT'S DESCRIBED AS BOTH FRONT TIRES ARE BOUNCING UP AND DOWN LIKE A BASKETBALL. THE DRIVER HAS VERY LIMITED STEERING CONTROL WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING RESULTING IN A SERIOUS AUTOMOTIVE ACCIDENT. THERE WAS A RECALL ON TIE-RODS BUT THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE TIE-RODS. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A LOCAL GARAGE SPECIALIZING IN FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENTS AND TIE RODS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND DODGE SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE AND LIABLE FOR THIS DEFECTIVE DESIGN AND PART. *TR

WE RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL REGARDING A NATIONAL RECALL ON OUR VEHICLE. WE HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED BY OUR LOCAL DODGE DEALER AND WERE TOLD WE WOULD BE CALLED WHEN THE PARTS COME IN. TO DATE (OVER 1 MONTH NOW) WE HAVE NOT GOTTEN THIS RECALL PART FIXED, NOR HAVE WE HEARD ANYTHING FROM THE DEALER. APPX 2 WEEKS AGO WE MADE A FOLLOW UP PHONE CALL TO THE DEALER AND WERE TOLD THAT PARTS HAD STILL NOT ARRIVED AS THERE WAS A SHORTAGE OF PARTS AVAILABLE. WHAT IN THE HELL COULD BE TAKING THE COMPANY SO LONG TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. IN THE RECALL LETTER IT SPECIFICALLY STATES THAT :THIS COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL AND/OR CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. WE HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN. SHOULD ANY ACCIDENT OCCUR AS A RESULT OF THIS ISSUE I WILL PERSONALLY SUE THE [XXX] OUT OF WHOMEVER IS AND WHOMEVER IS EVEN MODERATELY CLOSE TO BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEFECTS OF THIS TRUCK. PERIOD. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE INTERSTATE AROUND 65MPH AND HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY VEHICLE STARTED WOBBLING ALL OVER THE PLACE. HAD MY WIFE AND 5 MONTH OLD BABY IN THE CAR AND FINALLY WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BUT WHILE DOING THAT ALMOST SIDESWIPED A FEW VEHICLES AND SEMI TRUCK. I BELIEVE I WAS LUCKY WITH THIS. I HAVE HEARD THERE IS OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAS SIMILAR INCIDENTS TO MINE. *TR

I NOTICED THE TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR WAS FLASHING TO FAST. AFTER INSPECTION IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE REAR TURN SIGNALS AND THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING AT ALL. AFTER A DIAGNOSTIC ($55) IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE TIPM (TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE). THIS IS BASICALLY THE WHOLE FUSE BOX. THIS IS A $1000 DOLLAR REPAIR, AND IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM THAT THE PART IS ON A THREE WEEK BACK ORDER FROM DODGE. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO HUNDREDS (OR MORE) 2006-9 DODGE RAMS. OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED A MYRIAD OF ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLES LIGHTS (TURN SIGNALS, BRAKE, HEADLAMPS) AS WELL AS OTHER RANDOM ELECTRICAL ISSUES. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP IN GETTING DODGE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *TR
