Driving on interstate highway at 70 miles per hour. Went over a bridge and front end started shaking violently. Stopped and looked for a problem. Could not see any issues. Thought it may be mud coming out of wheels causing a balance problem. Continued trip. Drove about 130 miles. Went over small bumps and front end started violently shaking.had to stop on side of road. Came home and researched problem. Found others have same problem referred to as "death wobble" this could cause problems if in heavy traffic or if pulling a trailer.

Similar to online reports of past dodge ram truck "death wobble," truck wobbles and shakes dangerously despite numerous fixes and adjustments to tires/alignment and other. Tire rod snapped off, luckily while not on the freeway. We had to have it towed out of our driveway and had to stop mid-trip on our way to wyoming to purchase new tires. Ram 3500 2010.

While driving home from work one evening my truck started making the most awful grinding sound coming from the front passenger tire. Then my ABS light and serv 4wd light came on the dash. A few seconds later the tucked bobbled and weaved and I could no longer steer it. When I got out to look at the problem the wheel itself was resting on the hub assembly. Previous to this I've had to replace front end parts like crazy. New ball joints and I joints annually. Brakes twice a year, and it will eat up tires on the front. Also the truck will not stay aligned. I've contacted chrysler and first they were very helpful, but then they started to give me the run around. I've had to have their tie rod end recall fixed several times as well.

I took my truck in for the first tie rod recall when it first came out...when I got my truck back I kept hearing a weird noise for a few weeks...ended up finding out that my rim was so loose it almost fell off....I ended up needing ball joints and new tires soon after...about 6000 miles later started feeling front end sloppiness. ..took it to mechanic and needed tie rod....wanted recall done on block heater but parts were not available. ..got that answer multiple times....this recall to me is as important if not more that the other as it results in fire.....I'm not happy at all and I want my vehicle bought back...it's not safe....they say no, I disagree
