Dodge Ram steering under investigationOwners complain about violent shimmy, front end failuresSerious safety concerns are being raised by owners of late-model Dodge Ram trucks — in complaints to government — over a problem automotive experts and consumers have dubbed the "death wobble.""We hit a pothole in the road and the truck just started shaking violently," said Brantford, Ont.'s Dennis Warren, owner of a 2007 Dodge Ram 2500."We ended up on shoulder of the road — and that was during rush hour traffic in the morning."Warren is among several owners from Canada and the U.S. who've reported they are scared to drive their vehicles — after experiencing violent, uncontrollable shaking in their trucks' steering system, triggered when their vehicles hit a bump in the road. However, Chrysler has concluded there is "no safety issue" related to this issue.Federal investigations are underway in both Canada and the U.S. over Dodge Ram tie rod failures — an essential part of the steering system — which experts say may result from the damage caused by the severe shaking."Transport Canada's investigation regarding the failure of tie rod of Dodge Ram Trucks — models 2500 and 3500 — is active and ongoing," wrote department spokesperson Maryse Durette.

She's comin' apart, Captain!
Here in old country we sell a shitload of 2500 and 3500 Dodge trucks. We have had a lot come in with "death wobble", but every single one has been lifted, or had a leveling kit added or some funky off set wheels and P rated tires on it. We have yet to see one come in that has the stock suspension and proper LT "E" rated tires have death wobble.
