Traveling about 65 MPH on I-10 hitting a small bump in the road caused my 2005 Dodge Ram 2500hd 4x4 diesel to shake so violently I thought my break caliper had broken free of its mount. Hitting the breaks only prolonged the violent shaking. I had taken it to my local Dodge dealer and was told my drive shaft had to be replaced. I had it replaced and the shaking repeated. I took it back to the dealer and was told that it was a broken cord in one of my tires and that I needed new tires. Those were replaced with michelins. Again the shaking accrued. At this point I lost faith in my local Dodge dealer. I took my truck to a local mechanic and he told me that this was a common occurrence and I had to purchase a Dodge upgrade kit to fix the problem. 4,000 dollars later my truck was fixed and I hav

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500. While driving 45 MPH, the front end of the vehicle bounces and shakes violently when driving on uneven pavements or bridges. The vehicle has been to the dealer twice. The steering damper was replaced the first time. The repair corrected the failure for approximately 6,000 miles and four months. The failure recurred and the vehicle is currently at the dealer. The mechanics attempted to replace the tie rod ends and installed a new damper, but the contact believes that a recall should be issued since there are numerous complaints. The failure mileage was 52,000 and current mileage was 58,000.

I was driving on a 2 lane asphalt road at approximately 55mph. I was crossing a bridge and when I got to the end, there was a low spot in the roadway. When the truck hit the bump, the front end started shaking violently and uncontrollably and I had to hit the brakes and slow to 25 MPH before it quit. On 12/17/2010 my wife was driving this vehicle at 70 MPH on I-35. She said she hit an expansion joint in the roadway and the truck started shaking violently and she could not control it and went off into the center median before bringing it under control.

I received a recall notice n62/NHTSA 13v-528 from Chrysler. I had the problem repaired and paid for it and submitted the information and receipt to Chrysler as they requested over 90 days ago with no reimbursement or notice whatsoever. Please contact Chrysler on my behalf and request at least an acknowledgement of my request. Thank you *tr

Luckily I wasn't driving down the interstate when it happened but I still had to avoid an accident. *tr

Driving on an interstate highway in california, after hitting a minor road bump, the truck started to shake violently. The front wheels were moving in and out of plane (vertically) and felt like they were bouncing on the road surface. This has occurred many times since,. And is not relieved by any component replacement or maintenance item repair. .this is an engineering flaw in the design of the suspension system and requires some expertise on the part of Chrysler to design a repair to change the architecture of the suspension system. This issue can result in a major accident if a driver is unaware of it's impending chance of occurring.. I live with this danger every day and am awaiting some information on how to repair. The only likely repair is probably an aftermarket suspension upgrade

When you hit a little bump in the road going 55mph or higher front end wobbles almost causing u too lose control of vehicle. *tr

I received the recall for the front suspension problems and took truck to dealer. I believe it was recall n64. Dealer refused to fix truck as it is lifted and they are the ones who did it, said it did not need new parts as parts were replaced when they lifted it. Well, it death wobbles if you go over 40 MPH and was doing it when I took it to them. Cannot use freeway, surface streets only with affects mileage, it might get 8-9 MPG if I am lucky. The truck shakes violently and it feels like it is bucking. It needs to be stopped to stop it from shaking. The front tires are being eaten from the violent shake. In fact it did it on a surface street the other day. The road had been repaired and as there was no way to avoid it, I ran over the patch. It did it again. A lady behind me stopped to

Windshield wipers work erratically if at all. The intermittent wiper function timing is off, it will wipe twice, wait a minute, wipe once, wait a minute or two, wipe four or five time back and forth, no matter what the speed setting. The wipers will also get stuck up or in the middle and flat out not work at all sometimes. This is all when it is raining or trying to use windshield wiper fluid to clean the windshield. *tr

Vehicles wipers don't work correctly. They go on and off randomly. I have witnessed them turning on while the vehicle was parked and turned completely off with no key in the ignition. While driving the wipers won't go on when I need them most.

The clutch pedal connecting rod to the clutch master cylinder separated from the master cylinder. It happens if you bump the pedal backwards with your foot going for the brake. Then you can't push in the clutch! You have to pull it out of gear pull over and put the rod back in. Clutch pedal comes back real far and causes this! This happens when driving and may cause a accident not being able to take it out of gear or shift if needed. I have pictures of the rod out of the hole if needed. *js

Recently in my 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 when I turn my right blinker on my left one goes on instead or vice versa. Sometimes they both go on like flashers. I was almost involved in serious accident do to this failure. My vehicle only has 70,000 miles on it. *tr

Dt: the contact stated while trying to install a child seat he found the rear seat belts would not lock securely. Also, there was slackness in the seat belts that allowed the child seat to move. The dealership was unable to determine what caused the problem. *ak

Shortly after speeding up a car in front of me hit their brakes. When I attempted to slow down it seemed that the accelerator pedal did not return to neutral and it was very hard to stop. After troubleshooting, I found out that the accelerator pedal was sticking and not returning to neutral after being depressed. Sometimes it would slowly return to neutral, other times it would stay depressed. There is no external interference with the pedal (I.e. Floor mat), and only the pedal linkage is at fault. If I pushed the pedal a large distance then it would normally spring back all the to neutral. When I checked closely, it appears that the accelerator pedal position sensor (apps) is what is causing the binding. This truck is throttle-by-wire so no mechanical cable is involved. The apps in
