The front left tire came into contact with a small bump while slightly turning left. It violently started wobbling making it nearly impossible to maintain control, and will only stop when your speed reaches under 25 MPH. The death wobble was very unpredictable when it first started happening, but now it is constantly threatening. I took the truck to auto nation dodge ram on arapahoe rd in colorado back in may of 2014. I asked them to fix all recalls, and described to them what was happening. The invoice I received claimed to have fixed just a few recalls that did not fix the main problem. While I was driving home from the dealership the death wobble happened once again, and the parts that were claimed to be fixed clearly was incorrect.
