2006 Dodge RAM 2500 suspension problems

Filed May 23, 2026 · Steering, Suspension · OR

I took my vehicle into the dealership. Almost three weeks ago for a recall on the front end, a steering component. However, they told us that the parts were back ordered several days after the vehicle had been there for three weeks. And then all of a sudden, they call and a week and a 1 after that. And send a vehicle is done. I picked up the vehicle yesterday and it is not fixed. The problem still exists. We just about crashed on the freeway coming home when it started to do the death wobble shake that dodge ram is known for we nearly wrecked the truck on the freeway. It is not safe to drive. And the problem is not fixed. We have had nothing but problems with this dealership. In the past, and I believe they said they performed the recall safety issue. However, the truck was never fixed. We have pictures and proof

Truck does not want to stay in the road. It hops to the right with the steering not being turned. Cannot tell when it is going to do it.

This happened on my 2006 Dodge 2500 truck. I have had this truck since brand new and have maintained vigorously. Fortunately I was only going 25mph on the back road from my house. If this had happened on the highway I may not be here to tell this story. I felt like I had a flat tire so i stopped and didn't see anything so I started again and drove about a foot and then heard this loud crunching sound. I got out to find the center of my wheel had separated for the inside of the wheel. When I bought the truck I got the premium wheel package. The chrome covers are made on the wheel. I think what happened is because the chrome covers are made on the wheel there is no way to see that the wheel is rusting from the inside out and the owner has no idea they are driving a time bomb waiting to happen. My truck is almost rust free. I always took care to wash the salt off it in the winter 3 or 4 times a week. The truck has spent the last 10 years in Florida. I have never in my life ever seen this happen. I have no idea where the hub cap or the chrome cover went.

The truck is currently at a service station as it developed a "death wobble" while driving down the freeway a shimmed so hard I couldn't control it but managed to get it to the side of the road and finally to a stop. I did not receive any type of warning. I am being told by the mechanic at the service station it is going to require a rebuild of the front suspension. After checking to see if this has been a recall issue, I found there had been 3 but I did not receive notification of this particular recall. Not sure if the age of the truck prevents me from going back to have Dodge resolve this issue. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

While driving at highway speed in my 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 truck, the truck's front wheels began to violently shake and wobble with incredible vibration and bumpy ride. I thought I would lose control of the vehicle. I slowed, turned on my emergency flashers and hit the brakes pulling off the interstate. After a few minutes I continued on only to have the same incident described happen again a few miles later. I contacted the local Chrysler dealership and made an appointment, detailing the incident. I was told my truck was not covered by a safety campaign.

My vehicle has gone into what is described as a "death wobble" on four different occasions, while moving. Twice on the freeway, once coming down-hill on a mountain road and the last on a two lane road. We have verbally complained to the dealer to no avail. These incidents have occurred at different speeds and on one we had an unguarded cliff on one side.

When I drive my dodge ram 2500 on any road that the speed is 50 or higher, any rough area that has patch work or any pot holes of any size. The truck will shake and wobble to the point of control is very hard to maintain, I have to lightly brake to slow it to maintain control ! Over 500 dollars in tire's & shock repair ! Then a month or so it starts again, a little at first , the truck is unsafe for what was made to do! The tuck had 95,000 miles on it the first time on I-40 from cal to az, the last report of the wobble was sep-10-17, now with about 102,500 mil ,my son who is 40 , was on his way home on hwy-93 when my ram 2500 started to wobble on him, even when he switched lanes ,the hole where the highway reflector is placed in made it start to shake !
