NHTSA Complaint #10783173 — 2010 RAM 1500

THE 2010 DODGE RAM 1500 HAS SUSPENSION PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT BALL JOINTS BEING TOO SMALL. THIS LEADS TO MY TRUCK SKIPPING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ANY BUMPY ROADS AND HAS CAUSED ME MANY, MANY TIMES TO SUDDENLY LOOSE CONTROL. ON BUMPY DIRT ROADS IT CAN HAPPEN AT 35-45 MPH. ON THE HIGHWAY IT IS VERY BAD BETWEEN 55-60 MPH IF YOU HIT ANY BUMP OR EVEN IN A TIGHT CURVE. THIS TRUCK IS HIGHLY UNSTABLE. WHEN PULLING A BOAT WHERE LESS WEIGHT IS ON THE FRONT WHEELS, IT MULTIPLIES THE PROBLEM. I AM FORCED TO NEVER GO FASTER THAN 50MPH ON ANY CURVES THAT ARE REMOTELY SHARP. THE SECOND PROBLEM IS NOT A ACTIVE SAFETY PROBLEM BUT IS A HORRIBLE PROBLEM FOR EMISSION. MY TRUCK HAS THE INFAMOUS HEMI TICK. THIS IS CAUSED BY FAULTY MANIFOLD BOLTS THAT EITHER BACK OFF, RUST OFF, OR BREAK OFF LEAVING GAPS BETWEEN THE HEAD AND THE MANIFOLD. CO2 IS LEAKING OUT OF THE ENGINE PRIOR TO GOING INTO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THE EPA SHOULD GET INVOLVED...
