SUSPENSION
BEGAN TRAVELING ON A 4 LAND HIGHWAY AND HAD ACCELERATED TO 65 MPH, THE ROAD SURFACE IS PAVED BUT HAS SOME WINTER HEAVES. AFTER ABOUT 1 MILE THE FRONT END BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND FORCED ME TO GRADUALLY SLOW TO APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH TO FULLY REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. NOT KNOWING IF THIS WAS CAUSED BY ROUGH ROAD OR THE VEHICLE I ACCELERATED AGAIN TO THE SPEED LIMIT, 65 MPH, AND WITHIN 1 MILE THE SAME THING RECURRED, AFTER SAFELY SLOWING A SECOND TIME I EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND HAVE REFRAINED FROM DRIVING THE VEHICLE ABOVE SURFACE STREETS SPEED. I AM SEEKING INFO AND ASSISTANCE TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE. *TR

WHEELS, STRUCTURE:BODY, TIRES
DURING TRAVEL ON INTERSTATE 40 AT EXIT 56, DRIVERS SIDE FRONT TIRE SEPARATED CAUSING DAMAGE TO INNER FENDER, WINDSHIELD WASHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, AND FENDER AND NEARLY CAUSING CATASTROPHIC LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND LOSS OF LIFE OF AN ENTIRE FAMILY. ALL TIRES WERE AT THE PROPER INFLATION AND TEMPERATURE RANGE AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. WITH ONLY 20,000 MILES ON THE TIRE, THIS SEEMS TO BE MANUFACTURED DEFECT FROM THE GENERAL TIRE COMPANY. I NO LONGER CONSIDER GENERAL TIRES TO BE A RELIABLE PRODUCT AND WILL RESEARCH AND SEEK REPLACEMENTS FROM OTHER REPUTABLE TIRE COMPANIES. I DO RECOMMEND PRODUCT RECALL OF THE AMERITRAC LT235/80R17 TIRE LINE AS WELL AS PRODUCT SAFETY COMPLIANCE INSPECTIONS OF THE GENERAL TIRE COMPANY. *TR

WE JUST TURNED ONTO MY STREET AND WE HEARD A LOUD GRUMBLE AND DRAG SOUND. LIKE BRAKE OR REAR END LOCK UP.. SURE ENOUGH WE STOPPED TURNED TRUCK OFF AND LOOKED THE REAR END WAS LOCKED AND MY DRIVE SHAFT WAS LAYING ON THE ROAD. THANK THE LORD ABOVE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN WHEN WE WAS JUST ON INTERSTATE. I'M DISABLED AND IT WAS COLD AND I HAD TO SIT IN TRUCK UNTIL HELP CAME, WHICH WE ARE 18 -20 MILES FROM TOWN.

POWER TRAIN, STEERING, SUSPENSION, SERVICE BRAKES
REFERENCE THE BELOW COMPLAINT, AND OTHERS: DATE COMPLAINT FILED: 03/02/2015 COMPONENT(S): POWER TRAIN , SUSPENSION DATE OF INCIDENT: 10/01/2014 NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10691476 DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH ON WINDING TWO LANE COUNTRY ROAD, WHILE EXECUTING CURVE TO RIGHT, AFTER PASSING OVER A SLIGHT BUMP IN THE ROAD, FRONT SUSPENSION ENTERED WHAT IS COMMONLY CALLED A " DEATH WOBBLE". STEERING QUICKLY BECAME INEFFECTIVE, BRAKING WAS DIMINISHED DUE TO LOSS OF FIRM CONTACT BETWEEN FRONT TIRES AND ROAD SURFACE. WOBBLE IS REGENERATIVE IN THAT IT CONTINUES TO GET WORSE UNTIL VEHICLE SPEED IS REDUCED TO 15-20 MPH. I WAS UNABLE TO PRECISELY CONTROL DIRECTION OF TRAVEL, CROSSING INTO ONCOMING LANE BEFORE REDUCING SPEED ENOUGH TO REGAIN CONTROL. VEHICLE SHAKES SO BAD AS TO DISLODGE ITEMS FROM THE DASH AND CONSOLE POCKETS. THIS EVENT REPEATED SEVERAL TIMES AT A PARTICULAR SPOT ON MY WAY TO WORK, WHERE THERE WAS AN IRREGULARITY IN THE ROADWAY ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF PAVED TWO LANE ROAD. BEHAVIOR WAS THE SAME AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. THE LAST EVEN WAS WHILE PULLING A TWENTY TWO FOOT TRAILER ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE, WHILE NEGOTIATING A RIGHT HAND CURVE ON A DOWN HILL MERGE LANE AT FREEWAY SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 60-65 MPH. AGAIN I WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN MY LANE OF TRAVEL AND A CRASH WOULD HAVE RESULTED IF ANY OTHER TRAFFIC HAD BEEN NEAR ME! DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE! LOCAL DEALERSHIP ASSURED ME A NEW STEERING DAMPER WOULD CURE THE PROBLEM. (IT DIDN'T) I EVENTUALLY FIXED THE PROBLEM MYSELF BY RESEARCHING WHAT OTHER OWNERS HAD DONE ONLINE (THERE IS A LOT OF INFO ON THIS ISSUE!), AND REPLACING THE PITMAN ARM, DRAG LINK, TIERED, AND ADDING A STEERING SHAFT STIFFENING BRACE. THE DRAG LINK, TIERED AND TIERED ENDS WERE A MOPAR PART KIT. MUCH HEAVIER CONSTRUCTION THAN THE ORIGINAL PART. RESPONSE TO A KNOWN ISSUE? THIS ISSUE MAKES THE TRUCK NEARLY UN DRIVABLE. *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING
MY TRUCK VIOLENTLY SHAKES WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP AT APPROX. 55 MPH OR GREATER. IT ALSO WANDERS AND IS VERY TOUGH TO STEER WHEN THE VIBRATION STARTS. IT SEEMS TO BE CONSISTENT TO THOUSAND OF OTHER COMPLAINTS BYE RAM 2500 OWNERS I HAVE READ ABOUT ONLINE AND WATCHED VIDEOS REGARDING THERE "DODGE DEATH WOBBLE" NIGHTMARES WITH THE TRUCKS. I RECENTLY CONSULTED WITH THE DEALER AND THEY OFFER A STEERING LINKAGE "UPGRADE KIT" FOR APPROX. $1200 INSTALLED. FROM WHAT I HAVE RESEARCHED IS THE KIT DOESN'T ALWAYS FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE A 2007 DODGE RAM 2500 WITH ONLY 55,000 MILES ON IT THAT I WILL NOT DRIVE OVER 55 MPH. IT TERRIFIES ME WHEN IT SHUTTERS SO BAD. I CANNOT BELIEVE A $45,000 TRUCK NEW PRICED IS UNDRIVEABLE OVER 50 MPH DUE TO THE UNGODLY SHAKING. I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS HAS ESCAPED RECALL WITH MILLIONS OF OWNERS COMPLAINING AND MAKING YOU TUBE VIDEOS AND POSTING ON FORUMS ABOUT THE "DODGE DEATH WOBBLE." ITS SO UNBELIEVABLE THAT I PAID OVER 30K FOR A TRUCK AND IT ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT AND CANT BE DRIVEN OVER 50 MPH!! PLEASE LOOK AT SOME OF THE "DODGE DEATH WOBBLE" VIDEOS ON YOU TUBE AND TELL ME HOW THAT CANT BE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
