This 1999 dodge dakota has developed a violent shaking after hitting a bump in the road. The shaking or wobble lasts for approximately 15 seconds until the vehicle can be slowed and control regained. This seems to be related to death wobble talks.

I have a 1999 dodge ram 2500 4 x 4 quad cab with the v-10 manual transmission. Since I purchased it new in march 1999, I have twice replaced the rr track bar ($200 part, not including labor) and the steering intermediate shaft ($89 part, not including labor). This truck wanders all over the road and a heavy clunk is felt in the steering wheel. The dealer mechanics keep telling me "that's typical of this vehicle," but there is no recall. Why? I have also noticed an abundance of coolant loss at each oil change since about 10,000 miles...up to 1 gallon per 3000 miles. The radiator pressure checked ok. Dealer mechanics and chat rooms have told me this is another "typical" problem with this truck. Apparently the antifreeze blows through the headgasket and into the exhaust system where it evaporates. Still no recalls. Why are automanufacturers getting away with this?

The steering malfunctioned. The consumer had taken the vehicle to the repair shop due to the vehicle pulling to the right. The consumer drove the vehicle for a while when it started pulling to the left. Also, when making a turn, the steering wheel jerked extremely hard that if the consumer didn't hold it tightly, it would jump out of his hands. *ak the front end problems had not been solved after four attempts. The vehicle would pull hard when braking. The front tires were changes , but the problem remained the same. *scc
