2007 DODGE RAM 1500 Steering Problems

VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT FOR OIL CHANGE AT DEALERSHIP. AT TIME, THEY FOUND EXCESSIVE PLAY IN BOTH OUTER TIE ROD ENDS. BOTH TIE ROD ENDS WERE REPLACED AND SET TOE, WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

VIOLENT SHAKING OF VEHICLE, (DEATH WOBBLE) FRONT END SHAKES WHEN ABOVE 60MPH, THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO DEALER, SEVERAL REPAIRS MADE AND VEHICLE CONTINUES WITH SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED LOOSENESS WITHIN THE STEERING WHEEL; HE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE OUTER TIE RODS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE IT WAS VERIFIED THAT THE TIE RODS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED; THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AGAIN. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,873 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 48,262.

I BOUGHT THE TRUCK 10/29/10 WITH 22 K MILES ON IT AND HAVE 29950K NOW. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE FRONT END, RACK AND PINION STEERING SYSTEM TIE ROD ENDS, LEAKY BACK WINDOW, THIRD BRAKE LIGHT, BALANCE AND ROTATE TIRES 3 TIMES, RAIL DUST, NEW CARPET, LEAKY THIRD LIGHT, NEW ROTORS AND BRAKES AT 24K, AIR CLEANER, WIPERS. I QUESTIONED THE FRONT END WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND WAS TOLD IT AS JUST TIRES OUT OF BALANCE. WHEN I PICKED IT UP AND ASKED IF THE FRONT END LOOKED GOOD BECAUSE I NOTICED THE FRONT TIE ROD ENDS HAD A LOT OF PLAY AND I WAS CONCERNED WITH ISSUES DUE TO THAT. I WAS TOLD THE FRONT END WAS FINE NO PROBLEMS WITH IT. I LATER TOOK IT BACK AND HAD ALL THE FRONT STEERING COMPONENTS REPLACED. I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AND HAD NO ALIGNMENT AND WAS...

STEERING LOCKED. *TR

HOUSING FOR THE DRAIN PLUG ON THE POWER STEERING BROKE IN HALF. I WRECK THE PICK AND HIT TWO PARKED CARS, BENT A RIM, BROKE THE TURN STOPS, SHIFTED THE FRONT END TO THE DRIVER SIDE, BENT BACK BUMPER AND MUFFLER. *TR

PURCHASED A 2007 DODGE RAM 1500 4X4 NOV. 30TH 2007. VEHICLE WAS SOLD TO ME AS NEW(HAD ROUGHLY 1400 MILE ON IT). TOOK TRUCK HOME AND NOTICED A DITINCT PULL/DRIFT TO THE RIGHT. TOOK BACK TO DEALER. THEY SAID STEERING WHEEL WAS OFF CENTER AND NEED AN ALIGNMENT. TOOK THE TRUCK HOME STILL DOING SAME THING. BRING TRUCK BACK. 3 DAYS LATER I AM INFORMED THEY DISCOVERED A RADIAL PULL IN FRONT PASENGER TIRE AND WOULD REPLACE TWO TIRES. I SIAD I WOULD PREFER 4(WHICH THEY DID REPLACE). TAKE TRUCK HOME AND STILL DOING SAME THING. BRING BACK A 3RD TIME SERVIC MANAGER DRIVES WITH ME AND AGREES. THEY PUT IT BACK ON THE ALIGNMENT MACHINE, SAYS TRUCK IS SPOT DEAD ON, AND THIS IS THE WAY YOUR TRUCK DRIVES. I DISAGREE STATING THIS IS MY 4TH RAM AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS BEFORE. SAID THE BEST THEY COULD DO...
