| Vehicle was purchased in november 2010, and the so call death wobble was not noticed until april 2011. i had taken the vehicle into the dealership where purchased, they found nothing wrong with the front end, yet rotated the tires, re-aligned the front end and replaced a control arm. the chevy dealership where the vehicle was purchased also contacted a dodge dealer who denied any problems with the front end of these vehicle. the vehicle is driven little, and several times this month (december 2011) while driving on a major highway, while approaching a bridge doing 65 to 70 mph., or where the pavement is rough the vehicle started this death wobble, almost to the point there is no control. the driver can not gain full control of vehicle until the speed is reduced. i did notice on the net that chrysler did issue a service letter to their dealers that a problem may exist, yet nothing was mentioned to the chevy dealership when they contacted chrysler. this vehicle was purchased to tow a ten-thousand pound rv, and yet, i have not experenced a wobble while pulling that unit, i'm sure it is just a matter of time. chrysler needs to step up, come up with a solution, recall and fix these vehicles. customers deserve better than what chrysler is doing, after all the customers pays thousands of dollars for their product. there is a serious safety issue here that needs to be addressed. | |||

| When greasing the front tie rod ends the right tie rod end does not allow grease to get into the fitting. called the local dodge dealership, zimmerman motors in sunbury, pa, who said that i need to bring the vehicle in for an inspection of the problem and that i would have to pay for the inspection. they also told me that if that tie rod had to be replaced they do not just replace that particular part, it now is part of a $500 repair kit. this pricing does not include the installation of the components. so i then called dodge 1-866-726-4636 and created case 21303145. the service specialist confirmed that i would have to pay for the inspection and they might help me out with the pricing of the part. the truck has not gone in for the inspection. i now have several issues with dodge. 1. there is a recall for the left tie rod on certain dodge ram trucks. since my truck is not part of that recall it is my responsibility to have this repaired, but dodge knows that they have a problem with this tie rod assembly since they have a $500 repair kit. 2. my opinion is that eventually this part will fail if grease does not get into the fitting. 3. i should not have to pay for the inspection since dodge knows that they have issues with the steering components. | |||

| I have a 2008 dodge ram 3500, @ 63,000km i started to experience violent shaking of the front end. brought the vehicle to dodge and they said it was a sticky steering stabilizer. the service manager said that they changed the steering stabilizer and sent me on my way. a week later i had the same shake happen and got under and looked at the truck. turns out they had just greased the steering stabilizer shaft... i went back and complained and they gave me the run around so i decided to add a few aftermarket parts. they helped for a while but the shake came back. took the vehicle back to dodge and said all the suspension/steering components were within factory specs and basically told me i was imagining it. i told them to test drive the vehicle @ 110 km/h which is the posted speed limit where i always get the shake, and they flat out told me the techs will not drive a vehicle over 100 km/h. i ended up having the entire front end replaced on the truck only to still have the problem and the dealers won't even entertain taking a look at it since i'm out of my warranty but have been having the problem for the last 60,000km's | |||
