STEERING
STEERING LINKAGE FELL OFF. DID GET A RECALL ON THE STEERING LINKAGE, BUT WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP A YEAR OR TWO BEFORE THIS THEY TOLD ME I DIDN'T HAVE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS AND THEREFORE WOULD NOT REPLACE THESE PARTS. THEN NOT 6 MONTHS LATER WAS MY FIRST INCIDENT WITH THE STEERING LINKAGE JUST FALLING OFF, GOOD THING IT DIDN'T HAPPEN WHEN I WAS GOING 50 MPH I JUST WAS AT A STOP. OBVIOUSLY MY TRUCK SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE REPLACED THE TIE ROD ENDS, BUT THE TRUCK STILL DOES NOT DRIVE RIGHT, AND IT ONLY HAS 60K MILES ON IT. THANKS

AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS TRUCK HAS VIBRATION. THOUGHT MAYBE RIM HAD LOST COUNTER WEIGHT. NOT THE CASE AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER HAS NOT DONE ALL HOMEWORK ON THE LATEST RECALL WHICH I HAD KNOWN NOTHING ABOUT UNTIL THIS BIG ISSUE WITH THE BUYBACK. OF COURSE MY TRUCK HAS NO RECALLS WHAT SO EVER. MY TRUCK WAS MANUFACTURED IN MARCH 2011. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ RECALL COVERS TRUCKS MANUFACTURED THROUGH DECEMBER 2011. NOT SURE THAT MY TRUCK HAS PINION NUT ISSUES BUT SOUNDS LIKE THE SYMPTOMS. ANYONE OTHER OWNERS RUNNING INTO THIS?

ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
WHEN I PURCHASED THIS DODGE RAM 1500 HEMI 5.7 IT HAD A BAD ENGINE. AFTER THE ENGINE WAS FIXED, I NOTICE THE TRUCK WOULD JUST STOP RUNNING OR STALL AND NO ENGINE LIGHT. I WOULD START IT BACK UP AND IT WOULD KILL AT ANYTIME I WOULD SLOW DOWN TO TURN OR SLOW DOWN TO STOP. THIS WOULD HAPPEN 2 TO 10 TIMES A DAY. THEN NOT FOR A DAY OR TWO. WHEN I LOOKED ONLINE THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER IS NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM. THIS CAN KILL SOMEONE AND I HAD TO STOP MY SON FROM USING THIS TRUCK. BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID HE WOULD GET KILLED OR KILL SOMEONE ELSE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS MATTER. UPDATED 9/15/15 *LN.... UPDATED 09/30/15*BF *CN

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY IN CHICAGO IN HEAVY, HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE DROVE THROUGH A SMALL POTHOLE, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SHAKE \ WOBBLE VIOLENTLY FROM THE FRONT END AND CAUSE IMPOSSIBLE STEERING. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS SHAKING \ WOBBLE WAS TO IMMEDIATELY SLOW DOWN TO BELOW 20 MPH CROSSING 2 LANES OF TRAFFIC INTO THE SOFT SHOULDER. IT HAS BEEN REPLICATED MULTIPLE TIMES FROM SPEEDS OF 40 MPH AND UP. AFTER TAKING THIS VEHICLE, A 2003 DODGE RAM 2500 QUAD CAB, 5.7 ENGINE, STOCK WITH ALL CURRENT RECALLS UP TO DATE (EXCEPT THE AIR BAG RECALL WHICH NO ONE HAS PARTS FOR), TO MULTIPLE REPAIR SHOPS AND DODGE DEALERSHIPS, NO EXACT CAUSED HAS BEEN LOCATED INCLUDING FCA (DODGE) STATING THERE IS NO ISSUE. THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS HAVE BEEN SPENT ON THIS IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM AS IT CANNOT BE RESOLVED YET. THIS IS A WIDELY KNOWN ABOUT ISSUE IN THESE VEHICLES, COMMONLY REFEREED TO AS THE "DODGE DEATH WOBBLE" AS I HAVE FOUND OUT. FCA AND NHTSA NEED TO DO SOMETHING TO RESOLVE THIS MAJOR ISSUE.
