2006 DODGE RAM 2500 Steering Problems

Truck does not want to stay in the road. It hops to the right with the steering not being turned. Cannot tell when it is going to do it.

Steering linkage and tie rod issues. Steering not working properly. I see that my vehicle is not listed in the recalls. Although. I am having steering issues. Constant tail light replacing.

We were driving down the highway and it started doing the death wobble.

The truck is currently at a service station as it developed a "death wobble" while driving down the freeway a shimmed so hard I couldn't control it but managed to get it to the side of the road and finally to a stop. I did not receive any type of warning. I am being told by the mechanic at the service station it is going to require a rebuild of the front suspension. After checking to see if this has been a recall issue, I found there had been 3 but I did not receive notification of this particular recall. Not sure if the age of the truck prevents me from going back to have Dodge resolve this issue. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Driving down the road and lost all steering

Drastic front end vibration and uncontrollable steering. Two incidents.

The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500. The contact stated that while driving at 70 MPH and hauling a travel trailer, the vehicle wobbled, and the contact lost control of the vehicle when the front driver's and passenger's tires went in different directions. The contact was able to pull over and park the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and diagnosed with fractured linkages and damaged strut rods. The vehicle was not repaired and remained with the independent mechanic. Prior to the failure, the independent mechanic had replaced the stabilizer bar, tie rod end, steering ball joints, and linkages. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 148,000.

While driving at highway speed in my 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 truck, the truck's front wheels began to violently shake and wobble with incredible vibration and bumpy ride. I thought I would lose control of the vehicle. I slowed, turned on my emergency flashers and hit the brakes pulling off the interstate. After a few minutes I continued on only to have the same incident described happen again a few miles later. I contacted the local Chrysler dealership and made an appointment, detailing the incident. I was told my truck was not covered by a safety campaign.

STEERING DRAG LINK BREAK WITH A CLEAN SHEAR IN THE ROD ITSELF. LUCKY, VEHICLE AT LOW SPEED BACKING INTO DRIVEWAY. ALL STEERING CONTROL LOST. WOULD BE A DEADLY SITUATION ON THE ROAD.

DRAG LINK BROKE CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING. THIS WAS A DURALAST DRAG LINK P/N DS1463 PURCHASED FROM AUTOZONE IN 2018 TO REPLACE A BENT OEM PART. FAILURE OCCURRED AT 35MPH ON A DIRT ROAD AND I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY STOP. DRAG LINK BROKE AT UPPER END NEAR STEERING BOX AT THE MACHINED SHOULDER WHERE THE THREADS END. BEACH MARKS AND A DARK AREA INDICATE EXISTING CRACK AT THIS LOCATION FOR SOME TIME PRIOR TO FAILURE, HOWEVER THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF IMPENDING FAILURE PRIOR TO EVENT. TRUCK HAS EXPERIENCED RECENT PROBLEM WITH DEATH WOBBLE AT FREEWAY SPEEDS WHICH WAS CORRECTED BY TIRE CHANGE AND NEW SHOCK ABSORBERS.

HISSING NOISE WHEN STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED. READING INFO ON THE WEB IT STATES THAT THERE WAS A DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THE HYDRO-BOOST HOSE. I HAVE PROVIDED THE TECH BULLETIN. ALOT OF TRUCKS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. CASE NUMBER: S1119000007 RELEASE DATE: 09/17/2011 SYMPTOM/VEHICLE ISSUE: POWER STEERING HONK OR HISS MAY BE HEARD DURING BRAKE APPLICATIONS. DIAGNOSIS: CUSTOMERS MAY COMPLAIN OF A NOISE (HONK - SOMETIMES COUPLED WITH A HISS DURING BRAKE APPLICATIONS) DURING LOW SPEED PARKING LOT MANEUVERS. IF YOU HAVE THIS COMPLAINT, PLEASE PERFORM THE FOLLOWING: REPAIR PROCEDURE: 1. INSPECT THE STEERING COLUMN INTERMEDIATE SHAFT BOOT IS IN POSITION AND NOT MAKING NOISE FROM RUBBING ON THE SHAFT. IF THERE IS A NOISE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, ADJUST THE BOOT APPROPRIATELY AND VERIFY THE NOISE IS NO LONGER PRESENT. 2. IF THE NOISE IS STILL PRESENT, PERFORM A STEERING SYSTEM BLEED PROCEDURE OUTLINED ON TECHCONNECT...

EXPERIENCING WHAT PEOPLE CALL DEATH WOBBLE. 18 MONTHS AGO HIT A BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY AND FRONT END SHOOK VERY HARD, I THOUGHT I HAD A FLAT TIRE. NOTHING FOUND AND DIDN'T DO IT FOR ABOUT A YEAR. THIS SUMMER IT STARTED DOING IT AND BECAME A REGULAR OCCURRENCE. STARTS WHEN HITTING A BUMP ABOVE 60 MPH. ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO SLOW DOWN TO BELOW 30 MPH...VERY SCARY IN HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. ONCE HAD A TRACTOR TRAILER VEER OFF THE ROAD BEHIND ME. HAD 2 SHOPS LOOK AT IT AND CAN'T FIND ANYTHING OBVIOUS. REPLACED TRACK BAR, WHEEL BEARING, STABILIZER SHOCK, REGULAR SHOCKS, STEERING GEAR AND HAD FRONT END REALIGNED. NOTHING IS FIXING IT. VEHICLE IS STOCK HEIGHT...NO MODIFICATIONS.

FEDERAL MOGUL ISSUED A RECALL ON MOOG BRANDED STEERING COMPONENTS ASSOCIATED TO THE PARTS THAT HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ON MY 2006 DODGE RAM 2500. WAITING ON RESOLUTION AND THE WAY AHEAD TO FIX CURRENT ISSUES BEING THE FAILURE COULD BE LIFE THREATENING.

DEATH WOBBLE ON HIGHWAY AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE TRUCK STARTS SHAKING AND UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE WHILE THIS IS GOING ON. SEATBELTS WILL NOT RELEASE ONCE THIS HAPPENS, EVEN WHEN SEAT BELT IS RETRACTED ALL THE WAY.

WHILE TRAVELING OVER 40 MPH AND HITTING SMALL BUMPS OR POT HOLES, OR SOMETIMES FOR NO APPARENT REASON THE FRONT TIRES WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY BACK AND FORTH , SHAKING THE WHOLE VEHICLE, MAKING THE VEHICLE NEARLY UNCONTROLLABLE. COMMONLY KNOWN AS "THE DEATH SHAKE". THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SHAKE IS TO SLOW DOWN RAPIDLY. IT'S A TERRIFYING THING TO EXPERIENCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE RAM 2500. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE STEERING LINKAGE FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CARSON CITY DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP (3059 CARSON ST, CARSON CITY, NV 89701) BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THE FAILURE WAS RELATED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 13V528000 (STEERING) AND 09E001000 (STEERING) WHICH HAD NOT BEEN REMEDIED AS OF YET. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. APPROXIMATE MILEAGE AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE WAS 164,000.

FRONT DRIVERS SIDE FRAME IS CRACKED ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE FRAME BEGINNING AT THE TRAC BAR BRACKET. THIS MAKES STEERING EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE STEERING HARDWARE BINDS. THERE WAS A RECALL (RCRIT-15V541-5721) FOR TRAC BAR BRACKET WELD FAILURES FOR VEHICLES FROM 2012 THROUGH 2014. I BELIEVE THIS IS A RELATED ISSUE THAT SERIOUSLY AFFECTS SAFETY. I'VE ATTACHED FIVE PICTURES.

DEATH WOBBLE 11/28/17 YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT THE DEATH WOBBLE IS. UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING OF THE FRONT END MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STOP AND STEER TRUCK.

DRIVING ON BUSY PAVE ROAD CROSSING BRIDGE MY RIGHT TIRE ROD DISLOCATED ALMOST CAUSING A BAD ACCIDENT.

TRUCK CONTINUES TO EXPERIENCE A "DEATH WOBBLE" ISSUE EVEN AFTER REPLACING MOST OF THE SUSPENSION & STEERING PARTS AND EVEN ADDING AFTERMARKET "STIFFNER" AND "PROBLEM SOLVER" COMPONENTS TO THE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER HAD A RECALL R16 WHICH COVERED NEWER VEHICLES BUT SHOULD HAVE BEEN APPLIED TO THESE OLDER MODELS AS WELL. THE STEERING COMPONENTS AND GEOMETRY WERE LARGELY THE SAME AND THERE IS A FUNDAMENTAL DESIGN FLAW WITH THE GEOMETRY OF THE SUSPENSION. SYMPTOM: BETWEEN THE SPEEDS OF 45 & 70MPH, HITTING A LARGE POTHOLE OR A BRIDGE SEAM THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY DEVELOP A VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE FRONT END. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST CRASH A NUMBER OF TIMES SINCE I LAST FILED A COMPLAINT ON THIS SAME VEHICLE A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO. IT IS DIFFICULT TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND WHEN IT OCCURS IT OCCURS RAPIDLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE...

DEATH WOBBLE TRUCK WILL START SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN YOU HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD

DEATH WOBBLE WHEN HITTING ROUGH BRIDGE ON INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH, AND SLOWING DOWN TO ABOUT 30 MPH TO GET IT TO STOP, VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO THAT SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE WITH TRACTOR TRAILERS BEHIND ME.

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.

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....

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,...

BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN JANUARY 2016 USED AND THE TRUCK WANDERS ALL OVER AND GETS THE DEATH WOBBLE WHEN AT HIGHER SPEEDS. USED CAR DEALER WOULDN'T FIX SO BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO DODGE DEALER. REPLACED STEERING BOX, PITMAN ARM, DRAG LINK AND TIE ENDS. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AND DEALER SAYS THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THEY CAN DO. HELP?

AFTER HITTING A ROAD IMPERFECTION, TRANSITION, OR BUMP WHILE DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS (50 TO 70 MPH), THE FRONT END AND STEERING SHAKES VIOLENTLY. THE ONLY SOLUTION TO STOP THE VIOLENT SHAKE IS TO RAPIDLY SLOW MY TRUCK TO 35 MPH OR SLOWER AND HOPEFULLY BE ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. I HAVE NEARLY BEEN IN OR HAVE CAUSED ACCIDENTS ON ABOUT A DOZEN OCCASIONS. I HAVE REPLACED TIRES, SHOCK ABSORBERS, AND THE STEERING BOX AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO WHERE I BELIEVE THE TRUCK IS NOT LONGER SAFE TO OPERATE AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. THIS VIOLENT FRONT END / STEERING SHAKE EVENT HAS OCCURRED ON MORE THAN 2 DOZEN OCCASIONS.

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE RAM 2500 THAT HAS A COUPLE ISSUES. THE LATEST IS NO LEFT LOW BEAM. THERE IS NO FUSE TO CHANGE EITHER. FROM MY RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT IT IS THE TIPM THAT WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS ALL HAPPENED AFTER PULLING MY TRAILER. DURING THAT TIME, MY ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND. ALSO, I HAVE THE NOTORIOUS "DEATH WOBBLE." I HAVE SPENT OVER $4,000 ON STEERING COMPONENT REPAIRS, WHICH INCLUDE 3 GEAR BOXES AND 2 POWER STEERING PUMPS IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS, TIRE RODS, PITMAN ARM, ETC. I AM TAKING MY TRUCK BACK TO THE SHOP TOMORROW TO HAVE MY UJOINTS REPLACED, ALL NEW SHOCKS, AND THE ABS/BRAKE SENSOR REPLACED FOR $1,100. I GUESS MY NEXT REPAIR WILL BE THE TIPM TO FIX THE HEADLIGHT ISSUE AT WHAT I GATHER TO BE AROUND THE $1,000 MARK. WHEN WILL DODGE FIX THESE...

AFTER BEING INSPECTED AT DEALERSHIP FOR PRIOR TIE ROD AND STEERING LINK RECALLS, MY RAM 2500 AT ABOUT THE 125K MILEAGE POINT BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE THE NOW WELL DOCUMENTED "DODGE DEATH RATTLLE", WHERE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE FRONT END WOULD VIOLENTLY SHIMMY. SOON THEREAFTER MY TIE ROD DID FRACTURE, CAUSING ME TO LOSE STEERING ABILITY ON A 40MPH ROADWAY, WHERE I NARROWLY AVOIDED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAD IT REPAIRED AT MY LOCAL SHOP AND IT WENT ANOTHER 10K BEFORE THE DODGE DEATH RATTLE REAPPEARED AGAIN, AND DESPITE NUMEROUS CHECKS ON ALIGNMENT, SHOCKS, FRONT END, THERE DID NOT SEEM TO BE AN ANSWER. THERE ALWAYS REMAINED A SHIMMY ON BUMPS ON THE HIGHWAY, AND I ONLY DROVE THIS TRUCK ON LOCAL ROADS THEREAFTER. TONIGHT BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, THE STEERING LINK ASSEMBLY JUST FRACTURED AND I AGAIN LOST STEERING ABILITY COMPLETELY. THIS SAME RECALL WAS FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER RECALL...

I WAS CRUISING DOWN A 4 LANE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH AND HIT A MINOR BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY (FELT LIKE A VERTICAL MOTION AND NOT SIDE TO SIDE) I HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND QUICKLY REDUCE SPEED TO KEEP FROM LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. UPON SOME RESEARCH WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS I WOULD BEST DESCRIBE MY EXPERIENCE AS ONE ASSOCIATED WITH THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED MORE THAN ONCE WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS AROUND 75 MPH. THE SHAKING WAS VIOLENT ENOUGH THAT IT SHOOK EVERYTHING OFF OF THE SEATS BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO STOP. THE SOURCE OF THE SHAKING I BELIEVE HAS TO DO WITH THE FRONT AXLE. I THOUGHT IT MAY BE A FAULTY TIRE OR UNBALANCED TIRE SO I HAD ALL OF THE TIRES INSPECTED, ROTATED, AND BALANCED. THERE WERE NO ISSUES FOUND WITH THE TIRES.

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AT NORMAL SPEED OF 65 MPH IN THE NUMBER 2 LANE, MY VEHICLE STARTED TO DEVELOP A DANGEROUS STEERING WOBBLE SENSATION. THE WOBBLE WAS SO VIOLENT AND UNCONTROLLABLE THAT I FEARED FOR MY SAFETY. I LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND APPLIED THE BRAKES AS MY HANDS WERE BEING ALMOST PULLED OFF OF THE STEERING WHEEL FROM THE FORCE OF THE WHEEL BEING JERKED BACK AND FORTH AGAINST MY WILL. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK BACK UNDER CONTROL ONLY AFTER GETTING THE SPEED DOWN BELOW 40 MPH AND PULLING OVER. THE INCIDENT CAUSED AN AGGRAVATION TO AN EXISTING INJURY TO MY LEFT SHOULDER WHICH CAUSED ME GREAT PAIN FOR UP TO 1 WEEK. I INSPECTED THE VEHICLE THINKING I HAD RUN SOMETHING OVER OR SOMETHING HAD BROKEN FROM MY STEERING SYSTEM. BUT I FOUND NOTHING OUT OF PLACE. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT SET...

STEERING HAS HORRIBLE VIBRATION AND WOBBLE AT 19 MPH. SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. HAVE ALREADY REPLACED TWO STEERING GEAR BOXES ON 2006 DODGE RAM 2500 DIESEL. STILL NOT FIXED. WITH RECENT NEWS ON DODGE RAMS; I AM SURPRISED THEY HAVE NOT LOOKED AT THIS MODEL YEARS AS WELL AS MANY MODEL YEARS ARE HAVING SAME ISSUE. BEGINNING TO BE NERVOUS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THE HISTORY OF THIS ISSUE WITH OTHER MODELS AND REALLY AFRAID THE SHAKING IS SO SERIOUS IT WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE A WRECK OR LOSS OF LIFE. THIS IS THE 3RD REPORT FROM ME ALREADY. ALSO TAKEN IT TO DODGE SERVICE CENTER AND THEY JUST PEERED UNDER THE TRUCK AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS GOOD. DIDN'T EVEN ATTEMPT TO TEST DRIVE AND SEE FOR THEMSELVES. I HAVE EVEN ATTEMPTED TO NOTIFY DODGE CORPORATE LAST YEAR WHEN IT STARTED AND NOT EVEN A RETURN CALL OR MESSAGE. FEEL...
