Dodge death wobble has happened numerous times the last time it broke the tie rod end and threw me off the road

Filed Dec 19, 2018 · Suspension · 48,000 miles · NV

I received the recall for the front suspension problems and took truck to dealer. I believe it was recall n64. Dealer refused to fix truck as it is lifted and they are the ones who did it, said it did not need new parts as parts were replaced when they lifted it. Well, it death wobbles if you go over 40 MPH and was doing it when I took it to them. Cannot use freeway, surface streets only with affects mileage, it might get 8-9 mpg if I am lucky. The truck shakes violently and it feels like it is bucking. It needs to be stopped to stop it from shaking. The front tires are being eaten from the violent shake. In fact it did it on a surface street the other day. The road had been repaired and as there was no way to avoid it, I ran over the patch. It did it again. A lady behind me stopped to see if I was ok.
