Death wobble at highway speeds,this truck will bounce to the point of shaking the driver . If hitting any size hole or cut in highway the truck feels like it comes off of the road and uncontrollably moves to another lane. On highway it shakes on large radius turns . Bad suspension design is well documented online!

My vehicle has a ratcheting sound that comes from somewhere in the left front corner of the truck when a pothole or dip is driven over at highway speeds. I am unable to tell if this is caused by the braking system, suspension or steering mechanism. I can clearly feel the ratcheting vibrations in on the steering wheel making me believe it is part of steering or suspension. This has been going on in this truck for at…

Death wobble, this has been documented in many places on line as a problem with this truck. When traveling at highway speeds hitting any pothole will lift the truck off of the road and move out of the lane. Also when traveling on cement highways that have been cut for expansion joints the truck bounces up and down enough to shake the driver and passengers violently. Causing drivers loss of concentration and control.…

My new ram 2500 hd truck has "death wobble". When at highway speeds when you hit a bump in the road just right the front end violently shakes out of control until you almost come to a complete stop.

I was told by the new service manager at…

At highway speed, about 60-65 mph i went into an uncontrollable wobble. It would only calm down after decreasing speed to less then 35 mph. The truck only has less then 35,000 miles. Took it to the dealer that claimed it had bad ball joints. Again the truck only has less then 35,000 miles on it. Dodge ram junk.

2013 ram 2500 megacab 4x4. Purchased this vehicle 1 month ago. Noticed when driving over 60 mph the front of the truck begins to shake. This causes the steering wheel and front passenger seat to vibrate uncontrollably so that you can visably see it and feel it. The truck is in perfect alignment when you let go of the wheel, so its not that. Seems to be related to the steering or suspension. This is very annoying and…
