2011 DODGE RAM 1500 Power Train Problems

FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE IN THE STEERING WHEEL AREA. LOTS OF PLAY IN THE STEERING AND A CLUNK WHEN WHEEL IS TURNED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND IF IT WAS PART OF THE RECALL. THEY SAID THE STERING GEAR AND INNER TIE RODS ARE BAD AND THE FRONT HUBS ARE MAKING NOISE AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS TRUCK ONLY HAS A LITTLE OVER 70,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE NEVER TAKEN IT OFF ROAD OR DROVE IT HARD. IT IS USED FOR DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK. JUST FOR THE COST OF THOSE ITEMS THEY QUOTED ME $2312.99. I HAVE OWNED THREE DIFFERENT TRUCKS AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS AND WITH SUCH A NEW VEHICLE. DEALER STATED IT WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THIS TRUCK FEELS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH THE STEERING BEING SO LOOSE.

AT 53,283 MILES A NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS TIRE NOISE, BUT DETERMINED IT HAD TO BE SOMETHING RELATED TO THE REAR END DRIVE POWER TRAIN. AT 53,383 MILES I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION. THIS IS THE DEALER'S COMMENTS: "CUSTOMER STATES:C/S: C/S THERE IS A NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR END, MIGHT BE THE BARINGS. WENT ON ROAD TEST WITH SEAN F. HE CONFIRMED THERE IS A NOISE, POSSIBLE REAR WHEEL BEARING AND ITS SPEED RELATED. CHECK AND ADVISE OBSERVATIONS: VERIFIED NOISE FROM REAR END TEAR DOWN REAR DIFFERENTIAL TO DETERMINE FAILED COMPONENT. OBSERVATIONS: PINION BEARINGS FAILED CAUSING ABNORMAL WEAR OF GEARS REBUILD REAR DIFFERENTIAL -$2,591.00."
