2005 DODGE RAM 2500 QUAD CAB 4X4, I GET A VERY, VERY BAD FRONT END SHAKE, ALSO KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE WHENEVER I HIT A SMALL POTHOLE OR DIP IN THE HIGHWAY. USUALLY HAPPENS AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50 MILES PER HOUR. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE TRACK BAR BUSHINGS. *TR

I OWN A 2005 DODGE RAM 2500 4X4 AND AM CONSTANTLY EXPERIENCING WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. THIS IS WHEN THE FRONT END STARTS SHAKING VIOLENTLY, TO THE POINT WHERE THE VEHICLE LOSES ALL CONTROL. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I HIT A BUMP, POTHOLE, BRIDGE, ANYTHING IN THE ROAD. THIS IS EXPERIENCED AT SPEEDS OF 30MPH AND ABOVE. I EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE ABOUT ONCE A WEEK. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE, THERE ARE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ONLINE THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. THE ISSUE IS NONE OF THEM KNOW TO FILE A COMPLAINT ON HERE TO GET THE BALL ROLLING AGAINST DAIMLER CHRYSLER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE RAM 2500. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH INTO THE DRIVEWAY. THERE WAS PRESSURE APPLIED TO BRAKE PEDAL, FOLLOWED BY A NO POWER RESPONSE WHEN SUDDENLY, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE RESIDENCE GARAGE. THERE WERE NO PERSONAL INJURIES. THE FAILURES OCCURRED ON TWELVE SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON TWELVE TIMES FOR THE IDENTICAL FAILURES. THE TECHNICIAN WAS ABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM AND A REMEDY. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN MY 2005 DODGE 2500 RAM AND SMELLED SMOKE. AFTER ABOUT 20 SECONDS I NOTICED THAT SMOKE WAS BEGINNING TO FILL THE CAB. I LOOKED AROUND AND SAW THAT THE REAR PASSENGER-SIDE DOOR WAS IN FLAMES. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER, EXITED THE VEHICLE, AND PUT OUT THE FLAMES WITH A BLANKET. THE FIRE WAS CONTAINED TO THE DOOR AND A LITTLE BIT OF THE FLOOR CARPET. THE VERY NEXT MORNING I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER AND ABOUT A WEEK LATER THEY SAID THAT THEIR OFFICIAL REPORT INDICATED THAT CHRYSLER WAS NOT AT FAULT AND THAT IT WAS AN "ACT OF GOD". SINCE THEN IT HAS BEEN BACK-AND-FORTH BETWEEN THE DEALER AND INSURANCE COMPANY. THE BOTTOM LINE IS IT WILL COST ME MY DEDUCTIBLE ($1000) FOR SOMETHING THAT WASN'T MY FAULT. I'M SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT SO THE INCIDENT IS DOCUMENTED AND TO REGISTER A COMPLAINT AGAINST DODGE/CHRYSLER SINCE THEY ARE COMPLETELY WASHING THEIR HANDS OF ANY RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING OVER A FLYOVER (ONRAMP) TO GET ONTO I-40 MY 2005 DODGE 3/4TON TRUCK HIT A BUMP AND THE FRONT END STARTING JUMPING ALL OVER THE ROAD, THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I ALMOST WENT INTO THE CEMENT WALL WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLY SEVERE INJURY. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND POSSIBLY OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. *TR

DRIVING ON THE HWY 5 DOING 70 MPH LONG STRAIGHT AWAY HIT A BUMP AND IT FELT LIKE ALL MY TIRES POPPED AT ONCE. VERY VIOLENT SHAKING THROUGH OUT THE WHOLE TRUCK! HAD TO PULL OVER TO GET IT TO STOP SHAKING BEFORE I LOST CONTROL AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER CAR! HAVE SPENT $2000 TRYING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM! A DODGE 2500 2005. *TR
