STEERING, SUSPENSION
THIS VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND BOUNCING OF THE FRONT END CAN BE REPRODUCED AT ANY IMPERFECTION IN THE HIGHWAY AT 65+ MPH. THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK BOUNCES AND SHAKES VIOLENTLY. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE OUT OF CONTROL SHAKING IS TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND ATTEMPT TO GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THE TRAFFIC FOLLOWING MY TRUCK HAS BEEN FORCED TO TAKE ACTION TO AVOID PLOWING INTO THE BACK END OF MY TRUCK. DODGE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THE RUN AROUND AND MISDIAGNOSIS OF THIS LIFE THREATENING ISSUE.

STEERING
IF I GET A LITTLE BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY I LOSE CONTROL OF MY STEERING FOR A FEW SECONDS AND IT GOES BACK TO NORMAL, ITS BEEN LIKE THAT FOR YEARS. BUT LATELY IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS THERE HAS BEEN A STRANGE NOISE COMING FROM MY STEERING BOX AND WHEELS MAINLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE LIKE IF I'M DRAGGING SOMETHING AND AS IF MY STEERING IS FALLING APART. THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR CONCERN THAT I RECENTLY STOPPED DRIVING IT. *TR

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TIPM FAILED TO WORK CORRECTLY RESULTING IN NO FUEL PRESSURE PERIODICALLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. ENGINE WOULD FAIL TO RUN. SOMETIMES IT WOULD BE OK AND THEN SOMETIMES THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RUN. RAM SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO LOCATE A NEW TIPM. THEY DIDNT HAVE ONE BECAUSE OF ALOT OF THESE HAD FAILED, SO THEYRE IN HIGH DEMAND. WHY ARENT THESE BEING RECALLED THEN??

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING AT 70< HIT A SMALL BUMP AND THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKINV VIOLENTLY. ONLY WAY TO STOP IT WAS BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE. STARTED BACK OUT AND IT WORKED FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES. I HAVE WENT AS FAR AS TO HAVING THE TORQUE CONVERTOR REPLACED WITH NO LUCK. IT DOES THIS TO ME AT THE SPEED OS 65 TO 75 MPH.I HAVE BEEN READING AND LEARNED ITS REFERERD AS THE DEATH WOBBLE AND IS CAUSED BY FAULTY SUSPENSION AND STEERING COMPONENTS.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
THIS IS THE 4TH TIME WE HAVE HAD TO GO BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEM TURN US AWAY BY DOING A VISUAL INSPECTION STATING THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK, HOWEVER WE CANNOT GET AN ALIGNMENT BECAUSE SWAY BAR, TRACK BAR, AND TIE RODS ALL NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. TOOK TRUCK BACK AGAIN AFTER THERE WAS SO MUCH POOPING NOISE AND VIBRATION FROM THE FRONT END THAT I COULD NOT TAKE IT ANYMORE. OUTER TIE RODS WERE DONE, AND FOUND OUT THE TRACK BAR WAS CRACKED SO A NEW ONE REPLACED THE ORIGINAL ONE YET NO RECORD WAS COMPLETED OF THIS WITH THE DEALERSHIP, ONLY THAT THEY TIGHTENED THE TRACK BAR. I AM SO FED UP WITH THE DEALERSHIPS AND CHRYSLER WITH ALL OF THIS NONESENSE, IT IS REALLY GOING TO COME DOWN TO US COMPLETELY HAVING A BAD ACCIDENT OR SOMETHING TO THIS EXTENT BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE, AND WE STOP HAVING TO PAY FOR ALL THE REPAIRS TO A FAULTY FRONT END. DRIVING DOWN THE ROD FEELING THE VIBRATIONS IS VERY SCARY, AND NOT KNOWING IF THE TIRES ARE GOING TO COME OFF.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN OPERATING THE VEHICLE IT WILL UNEXPECTEDLY TURN OFF, WHEELS LOCK UP, STEERING LOCKS UP, ENGINE STOPS COMPLETELY NO MATTER WHAT I AM DOING. AS OF LATE THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. AFTER RESEARCH WAS DONE, IT'S THE IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM THAT WILL CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. THIS TRUCK HAS DONE THIS ON THE INTERSTATE, HWY, AND CITY STREETS WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS TIMES. THIS IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE AND IS USED TO DRIVE MY 4 CHILDREN AROUND, AGES 17 TO 1YR OLD.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, SUSPENSION
MULTIPLE REPAIRS TO THE FRONT END SUSPENSION OF THE VEHICLE, TO THE POINT THAT WE ARE NOW PAYING FOR THE REPAIRS AND THE DEALERSHIP DENYING THEY REPLACED THE MOST RECENT TRACK BAR ON THE TRUCK AND BLAME THE TIRES ON THE TRUCK. I AM REALLY TIRED OF RUNNING OFF INTO A DITCH AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD OR STEER TO MISS A POTHOLE. JUST FIX THE TRUCK CORRECTLY AND STOP MAKING EXCUSES TELLING US IT IS OUR TIRES WHEN IT IS A 4X4 AND THEY CANNOT PUT MORE STURDY PARTS ON THE FRONT END OR TAKE BLAME FOR THE STEERING SHAFT AND GEAR BOX WHEN THESE HAVE BEEN RECALLED UNDER THE DEATH WOBBLE. HUB ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED ON THIS TRUCK AS WELL. TRYING TO TURN THE VEHICLE INTO A PARKING SPOT AND CONSTANTLY HAVING TO BACK INTO A SPACE. THIS DEATH WOBBLE HAS GONE TOO FAR. AS FAR AS THE ELECTRICAL THEY CANNOT FIND WHY THE DASHBOARD KEEPS FLICKERING AND WE KEEP BLOWING FUSES OR BULBS. IT IS REALLY GETTING ANNOYING WITH THIS TRUCK AND ALL THE REPAIRS WHICH WE HAVE HAD TO DO THIS VEHICLE, AND YET TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT.
