STRUCTURE, STEERING
I HAVE A 2007 DODGE RAM 2500. I AM EXPERIENCING THE INFAMOUS "DEATH WOBBLE". WHEN DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEED FOR THE ROAD CONDITIONS THE TRUCK WILL VIOLENTLY SHAKE AFTER GOING OVER A BUMP. IT HAS NEARLY CAUSED ME TO WRECK 3 TIMES NOW. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA OF ALASKA SO I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET TO A SHOP YET. I CONTACTED A DODGE DEALER IN ANCHORAGE AND THEY SAID THAT IT IS PROBABLY THE STABILIZER SHOCK ON THE FRONT END. I HAVE READ MORE ABOUT IT ONLINE AND AM DISCOVERING THAT IT'S A SEVERE ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE SINCE I OWNED IT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT GETTING EXHAUST FUMES IN THE CAB WHEN I COME OFF THE HWY AND HAVE TO SIT AT A LIGHT FOR VERY LONG.

I HAVE IN EVERY WAY I CAN TRIED TO GET CHRYSLER TO ADDRESS IT BUT TO NO AVAIL. THEY JUST SENT OUT A LETTER SAYING THAT THE SYSTEM IS WORKING THE WAY IT IS SUPPOSE TO AND WE ARE NOT CHANGING IT THERE IS NO FIX... *TR

SUSPENSION
2007 DODGE RAM 2500 4X4 DIESEL WHEN I DRIVE AROUND 55 MPH AND HIT A BUMP MY TRUCK STARTS TO SHAKE VERY HARSH UNTIL I SLOW TO ABOUT 35MPH. THIS HAPPENS EVER TIME I GO OVER 50MPH. DODGE DEALER SEEMS TO NOT CARE ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THIS COULD VERY EASILY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. *TR

STEERING
I AM EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH MY STEERING ON MY 2007 2500 RAM, I TOOK IT INTO A DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR AND FOUND THAT THE STEERING LINKAGE IS UNDER RECALL. THE PROBLEM I DESCRIBED TO THEM IS IDENTICAL TO THAT OF THE RECALL DESCRIPTION. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP IS SHOT AND I NEED TO REPLACE. THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE SINCE THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 47000 MILES AND THE DESCRIPTION MATCHES THAT OF THE RECALL. SECONDLY, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS AREN'T READILY AVAILABLE AND I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT 2-3 WEEKS. I CANNOT TURN THIS VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT AT TIMES AND THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE! *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
MY 2007 DODGE RAM 2500 4X4 GOES INTO "DEATH WOBBLE" AT SPEEDS HIGHER THAN 65 MPH. WHEN THE TRUCK IS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY IT WILL START TO RATTLE THE FRONT END TO A POINT THAT YOU FEEL AS THOUGH YOU ARE RIDING ON A "SQUARE TIRE". EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!!!! APPARENTLY THIS IS COMMON KNOWLEDGE TO CHRYSLER MANAGEMENT AND STAFF...HOWEVER, NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. WHEN I FIRST EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TWO DIFFERENT DODGE DEALERS TO ESSENTIALLY BE TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGERS THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PERFECTLY FINE AND THAT I PROBABLY NEEDED TO BUY NEW TIRES! THIS PROBLEM IS OBVIOUSLY MORE SERIOUS THAN NEW TIRES... IT IS MY HOPES THAT SOMEONE CAN RAISE A RED FLAG TO THE ISSUE BEFORE A SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH OCCURS AS A RESULT OF THIS FACTORY DEFECT. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
BOTH FRONT SHOCK/STRUTS HAVE COMPLETELY FAILED. THE OIL IS COMPLETELY DRAINED FROM BOTH. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND THEN THE PASSENGER SIDE FAILED, COATING THE BOTTOM OF MY TRUCK WITH OIL, AND LEAVING OIL SPOTS ON MY DRIVEWAY. THE DEALER CAN NOT GET THEM. I'VE CALLED AROUND THE COUNTRY LOOKING FOR THEM. ALL OF THE STRUTS I'VE FOUND ARE EARMARKED FOR OTHER CUSTOMER'S TRUCKS. I WAS TOLD THE STRUTS ARE ON NATIONAL BACKORDER WITH ONE DISTRIBUTION CENTER HOLDING A BALANCE OF -265. MEANING THERE ARE 265 STRUTS ON BACK ORDER. SO THERE ARE AT LEAST 132 TRUCKS OUT THERE WITHOUT FUNCTION FRONT STRUTS, ASSUMING BOTH STRUTS HAVE FAILED. I HAVE QUIT DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE DUE TO THE STEERING WANDER WHEN I DRIVE OVER A BUMP ETC... WHAT IS GOING ON? THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. ALSO, THE DEALER HAS BEEN AWESOME! THEY HAVE QUICKLY AND PROFESSIONALLY FIXED ANY AND ALL ISSUES, WHICH HAVE BEEN MINOR. *TR
