STEERING, SUSPENSION
THIS IS A MEGACAB (SOLID FRONT AXLE) AND THE FRONT END STARTED SHAKING SO BAD THAT I WAS NOT ABLE TO STEER AND IT WAS VERY HARD TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN. ONLY REASON IT DID NOT CAUSE A CRASH WAS BECAUSE THE CARS NEXT TO ME WERE ABLE TO GET OUT OF MY WAY FAST ENOUGH. I REPLACED THE TRACK BAR BUSHINGS, THE STEERING DAMPER, ALIGNED THE FRONT END AND INSTALLED AN AFTERMARKET STEERING BOX BRACE. THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN 3 MORE TIMES AND I AM NO LONGER ABLE TO DRIVE THE TRUCK BECAUSE IT IS WAY TOO UNSAFE TO OPERATE ON PUBLIC ROADS. I HAVE SEEN THOUSANDS OF OTHER DODGE RAM OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE AND IT IS NICK NAMED DODGE DEATH WOBBLE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE DIES, THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING HOME A FEW DAYS AGO WHEN SUDDENLY THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED HARD LEFT WHILE THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK STARTED SLIDING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I CORRECTED THE WHEEL BUT IT WAS SO LOOSE THAT WE FISH TAILED THE OTHER DIRECTION. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VIOLENTLY WHIPPING BACK AND FORTH AS I TRIED DESPERATELY TO GAIN CONTROL. FINALLY THE TRUCK STRAIGHTENED OUT AND SEEMED TO BE FUNCTIONING NORMALLY AFTER THE NEAR CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT. THE FOLLOWING DAY I TOOK THE TRUCK AND IT STARTED SCREECHING LIKE DRAGGING METAL UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOORBOARD. I GOT OUT TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS DRAGGING FROM THE TRUCK, BUT DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. I MADE IT HOME BUT IT WAS SCREECHING OFF AND ON. THE NEXT DAY WHEN I JACKED THE WHEEL OFF THE GROUND TO CHECK UNDER THE CAR I FOUND THAT THE WHEEL WAS VERY LOOSE. I STARTED DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND I SOON FOUND TWO RECALLS FOR MY TRUCK. THE FIRST RECALL WAS A FAULTY LEFT TIE ROD ASSEMBLY AND ANOTHER WAS AN UNRELIABLE WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY. I CALLED CHRYSLER CORP. TO GET MY TRUCK FIXED BUT I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT PART OF ANY OF THE RECALLS. I VERIFIED THAT MY TRUCK WAS ON BOTH RECALL LISTS AND SHE AGREE WHILE EXPLAINING EVERY VEHICLE IN THAT PARTICULAR PRODUCTION WASN'T RECALLED. *TR

ALL OF A SUDDEN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHER CAME ON WITH OUT WARNING AND BLINDED ME RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A CURVE. THEN ENGINE QUITE AND HORN STARTED BLOWING.I LOST MY STEERING AND BRAKES. WHEN I MANAGED TO GET THE TRUCK STOPPED I WAS BLOCKING ONE LANE OF TRAFFIC.RAISED HOOD AND THE ELECTRICAL BOX WITH FUSES WAS BURNING. I DICONNECTED MY BATTERY TO STOP ELECTRIC FLOW. I HAD JUST COME OFF OF HIGHWAY WHER I HAD BEEN GOING 70 MILES AN HOUR.IF I HAD BEEN GOING THAT FAST AT THE TIME OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IT WOULD BEEN REALLY BAD AS I HAD TWO OTHER PEOPLE WITH ME. ONE A 90 YEAR OLD MOTHERINLAW. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
TRUCK STEERING AND SUSPENSION SHAKE WHEN TRAVELING OVER BUMPS OR TRAVELING AT CERTAIN SPEEDS. MULTIPLE MECHANICS HAVE EXPLAINED THAT THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK IS UNSAFE. AFTER FINDING THAT THIS IS SUCH A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH RAM TRUCKS, IT SEEMS THAT THE ISSUE HAS BEEN COVERED UP BY DODGE AS THEY WILL NOT ASSIST IN THE COST TO REPLACE THE FAULTY GEOMETRY THAT CAUSES SLOPPY STEERING COMPONENTS. THEY RECOMMENDED THAT I REPLACE THE TIE ROD AND DAMPER, AND YET THEY RECOMMENDED REPLACING IT WITH A COMPLETELY UPGRADED PART THAT WILL BE VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX. I ALSO CAN NOT GET THIS PART BECAUSE IT CURRENTLY HAS A RECALL ON THE PART, SO I AM STUCK WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO FIX MY TRUCK. *TR
