SUSPENSION
AFTER ACCELERATING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY ON-RAMP, THE VEHICLE WENT OVER SOME BUMPS THEN STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AT ABOUT 45 MPH. THERE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING AS THE TRUCK VIBRATED AND SHOOK ACROSS LANES, BUT I WAS ABLE TO SOMEHOW AVOID COLLISIONS WITH OTHER VEHICLES AND SAFELY PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY. AFTER STOPPING AND FINDING NOTHING WRONG, THE VEHICLE WAS SLOWLY ACCELERATED TO INTERSTATE SPEED AND DRIVEN ANOTHER 300 MILES TO DESTINATION WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. A FEW DAYS LATER, A TUCSON DODGE DEALER INSPECTED THE TRUCK AND FOUND TWO ISSUES. FIRST, THE FRONT STEERING DAMPER WAS FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE AND WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE SECOND ITEM, AN IMBALANCED FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL, WAS FOUND AND CORRECTED. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT RECURRED, BUT I AM EXTREMELY NERVOUS ABOUT THE EVENT REPEATING ITSELF, PARTICULARLY IF IT HAPPENS WHEN PULLING A 5TH WHEEL TRAILER. I AM NOT CONFIDENT THAT THE VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE VEHICLE AND LOSS OF STEERING WAS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE STEERING DAMPENER AND A SLIGHTLY OUT-OF-BALANCE FRONT WHEEL. THIS PROBLEM, AN APPARENTLY SOMEWHAT WIDESPREAD OCCURRENCE AMONG DODGE TRUCKS, HAS BEEN WIDELY REPORTED AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" THROUGHOUT THE PAST 8 YEARS OR SO. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IT HAD BEEN FIXED RECENTLY THROUGH SUSPENSION CHANGES BY CHRYSLER ENGINEERS, BUT OBVIOUSLY NOT. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I PULL A LIGHT WEIGHT 40' GOOSENECK TRAILER, AND WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED THE FUEL MILEAGE DROPPED TREMENDOUSLY AND THE COOLANT TEMP STAYED AROUND 220DEG AND I NOTICED A HORRIBLE LOSS OF POWER WHICH WOULD NOT LET ME DRIVE ANY FASTER THAN AROUND 40-45MPH! I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY PERFORMED A BOOST TEST ON THE TURBO AND SAID THAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO PRODUCE 32 POUNDS OF BOOST BUT MINE WAS ONLY PRODUCING 26 POUNDS OF BOOST, AND THEN I WAS INFORMED THEY COULD NOT JUSTIFY REPLACING THE TURBO BECAUSE IT HAS NOT THROWN A CODE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, WELL IF YOU TELL ME IT'S SUPPOSED TO PRODUCE ONE NUMBER AND IT'S DOING ANOTHER THEN I BELIEVE THAT'S ENOUGH JUSTIFICATION TO REPLACE THE PART BEINGS I PAID $50,000 FOR A BRAND NEW TRUCK! THE LOSS OF POWER CAUSES TRAFFIC BACK-UPS EVEN IF I'M IN THE SLOW LANE! THE TEMP OUT OF THE EXHAUST REACHES 800DEG'S AND MELTS MY MUDFLAP AND HAS CAUSED IT TO START SMOLDERING AFTER I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP! I WAS LATER INFORMED ABOUT THE "RE-GEN" PROCESS AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD KICK IN AND OUT OF "RE-GEN" BUT I DON'T BELIEVE MINE HAS CAME OUT OF RE-GEN BEINGS I'M STILL GETTING 5MPH WITH OR WITHOUT A TRAILER! THE ENGINE LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT COMES ON NUMEROUS TIMES A DAY AN THEN GO OFF AND NOW THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME! THIS IS A BRAND NEW DODGE 3500 6.7L TURBO DIESEL 4X4. *TR
