# Death-wobble complaint on a 2019 Ram 2500

Owner reports are not official NHTSA recalls. Each report cites a public complaint, bulletin, forum thread, or manufacturer page. It is not a failure rate, a diagnosis, or a repair procedure.

**Owner report** · Steering · 2019 Ram 2500

## Symptoms

NHTSA complaint ODI 11560394 describes a 2019 Ram 2500 that, on September 17, 2023, went into what the owner calls a death wobble at about 65 to 70 mph on a downgrade near Livermore, California. The owner says it happened twice more and that nobody was hurt. The complaint says other 2500 owners, talking about 2018 through 2020 trucks, told the writer this was a recalled problem. Those sentences are what the complainant was told. This page does not have a recall document for that steering event.

## Likely causes

The complaint does not name a worn part, a tire, or a measurement.

## Common fixes

The complaint does not describe a repair.

## DIY difficulty

Not rated. No procedure is in the complaint.

## Parts needed

None named.

## Warranty notes

The complainant writes that other owners mentioned a recall. The complaint itself does not identify a campaign number, and the dealer outcome is not in the text. Check the model-year recall list, which comes from NHTSA, before treating a forum comment as a campaign.
