I HAVE HAD A VIBRATION AND "DEATH WOBBLE" ON MY TRUCK SINCE I PURCHASED IT. IT HAS BEEN TO TWO DIFFERENT CHRYSLER DEALERS FOR A TOTAL OF 5 OR 6 TIMES WITHOUT RESOLUTION OF THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE IS TWO FOLD, ONE IS WHEN I HIT A LARGE BUMP AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 45 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY, AND THE OTHER THIS SPEEDS OVER 60 MPH THERE IS A VIBRATION. I HAVE SPOKEN TO CHRYSLER ABOUT THE ISSUES ABOUT A YEAR OR SO AGO. THEY TRIED TO OFFER BUY BACK BECAUSE THE ISSUE COULD NOT BE RESOLVED, BUT THEN TOLD ME I WAS NOT QUALIFIED BECAUSE I WAS THE SECOND OWNER. I ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE STEERING GEAR BOX REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, AND THEY REPLACED ALL THE TIE-ROD ENDS ECT. THE ISSUES IS STILL THE SAME WITHOUT RESOLUTION. NOW MY WARRANTY IS UP, AND THE TRUCK STILL HAS THIS POTENTIAL DANGERS ISSUES AND I HAVE NO WHERE TO GO. ANYTIME I HAVE THE TRUCK LOOKED AT NOW IT COST ME A LOT OF MONEY. MY TRUCK HAS RECALL 13V-528 AND 09E-001 WHICH RELATE TO THESE ISSUES. THE TRUCK WAS INSPECTED, BUT THEY DID NOT FIX ANYTHING.

I"M HAVING PROBLEMS,WITH THE DODGE RAM 3500 TRUCK , FRONT SUSPENSION HAD TO BE REPAIRED, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM. STILL HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, INSIDE LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE VECHICLE IS IN MOTION. LOOSES POWER AT TIME GOING UP HILLS.

TRUCK WAS PURCHASED JUNE 2,2009. STARTED HAVING INJECTOR/LIFT PUMP PROBLEMS. SCHEDULED APPT FOR DIAGNOSTIC FOR 6/5/2009. DID NOT FIX THAT PROBLEM AND THE TRUCK WAS STILL IN WARRANTY. PERFORMED RECALL H46 FOR TIE ROD END AND THEN THE PROBLEMS BEGAN. DEMON SHAKE PERIODICALLY AT 50+ MPH . WAS TOLD NOTHING COULD BE DONE ABOUT IT. BROUGHT TRUCK BACK IN FOR INJECTOR/ LIFT PUMP PROBLEM AGAIN, NOW THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND SURPRISINGLY NEEDED THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN REPAIR. WE HAD TO FOOT THE BILL. DEMON SHAKE CONTINUES GETTING WORSE TO THIS DAY. HAS BEEN LOOKED AT AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO FIX. FORTUNATELY , NO ONE HAS YET BEEN HURT. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO OCCUR. TODAY, I SEE A BUY BACK AND MY TRUCK IS NOT ON IT... I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM SINCE PURCHASE. WHY SHOULD MY SAFETY NOT BE AS IMPORTANT AS A NEWER TRUCK OWNER?
