The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 170,000.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE TRUCK SHAKES SO BAD YOU HAVE TO GET STOPPED BEFORE IT GOES AWAY. ALMOST FELT LIKE I WAS GOING TO FLIP THE TRUCK

FRAME BROKE IN 3 SPOTS, ALONG WITH A FRAME AND WHEEL BEARINGS, GEAR CONTROL BOX, ALIGNMENT, THE TRUCK BODY MOVES WHEN TURNING NOT THE WHEELS. THE TIRE STABILIZER HASN'T TURNED OFF IN OVER A YEAR AFTER POURING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN REPAIRS.. TRUCK IS UNDRINKABLE AND NOT EVEN 10 YEARS OLD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 RAM 2500. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 3 MPH, THE VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL TURNED ON ITS OWN AND THE ABILITY TO STEER CEASED. NO WARNING INDICATORS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE STEERING ROD WAS DETACHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, THEY DETERMINED THAT THE STEERING ROD HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO COLORADO SPRINGS DODGE LOCATED AT (7455 AUSTIN BLUFFS PKWY, COLORADO SPRINGS, CO 80923), WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE STEERING ROD DETACHED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE REPAIR WAS STILL PENDING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

WHILE PARKING MY RAM 2500, MY CENTER DRAG LINK JOINT AT THE CRIMPED PORTION WHERE THE TIE ROD LINKS IN CAM APART. THIS COMPLETELY DISABLED THE STEERING OF THE DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL. THIS IN NOT A WEAR JOINT OR A, NORMALLY REPLACED JOINT ON THE STEERING COMPONENTS. THIS LINK ON THE RIGHT SIDE (FACING THE VEHICLE) GOES TO A TIE ROD END, AND ON THE LEFT SIDE IT GOES TO AN ADJUSTABLE LINK, FOR ADJUSTING WHEEL ALIGNMENT, AND THEN ONTO THE LEFT (AGAIN FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE) TIE ROD. THIS HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT, WHEN I WAS POSITIONING THE VEHICLE IN A PARKING SPOT AND TURNED MY WHEEL TO CORRECT MY LOCATION. THE JOINT BEING DESCRIBED SEPARATED. DISABLING ANY STEERING ABILITY.

FRONT END HAS POPPING NOISE IN IT. DEALER TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE STEERING LINKAGE REPLACE SOON. I SEE THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY YEAR/MODEL TRUCK BUT I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. SHOULD I NOT BE DRIVING IT MUCH BECAUSE OF THIS RECALL? THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR SEVERAL YEARS, THEY JUST MENTIONED IT IN THE LAST TIME I GOT IT SERVICED AND ANOTHER RECALL TAKEN CARE OF. HAS DONE THIS SINCE I PURCHASED TRUCK NEW IN FEBRUARY OF 2012.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 RAM 2500. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE TIE ROD ON THE VEHICLE FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TOWED TO GALEANA'S VAN DYKE DODGE (28400 VAN DYKE AVE, WARREN, MI 48093). THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE TOE IN WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

SPEED ABOUT 20 MPH WITH NO THROTTLE, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES STOPPED WORKING. A FEW SECONDS LATER THE STEERING AND BRAKES WORKED AGAIN. IF THE STEERING AND BRAKES DID NOT START WORKING AGAIN THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO ANOTHER MOTORIST.THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED.

TRUCK GOT THE DEATH WOBBLES ON FREEWAY AT FULL SPEED ALMOST GOT IN AN ACCIDENT AND RAM IS REFUSING TO FIX IT WITH OUT CHARGE....THEY CLAIM OUT OF WARRANTY.... FROM ALL CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS AND WHAT IS ON THE WEB I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE COVERED.THEY ARE TELLING ME TRUCK IS NOT DERIVABLE IN IT CURRANT STATE

FRONT END VIBRATION LOOSE STEERING. OVER 60MPH VERY BAD VIBRATING ALMOST FEELS AS IF THE TRUCK WAS BEING PUSHED ONE WAY AND GOING THE OTHER. BRAKING ALSO CAUSES THE STEERING TO WOOBLE OR PULL DEPENDING ON THE SPEED, WHEN HITTING BUMPS IN THE ROAD WAY IS THE WORST I NEVER KNOW WHERE I MAY END UP. ALL HIGHWAY AND TURNING INTO COMPANIES I USE IT AS A SALES VEHICAL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 RAM 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRACK BAR LINK MOUNT BRACKET NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

STEERING WENT OUT CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL AND RUN INTO SIGN . PAID $60000 FOR THIS TRUCK AND I HAVE HAD TO PUT 30K BACK INTO IT FOR REASONS I HAD NO CONTROL OF> THAN CHRYSTLER OFFERED ME 22000 FOR THE TRUCK WHICH IS 4000 BELOW WHAT IS OWED ON TRUCK BIGGEST MISTAKE I MADE WAS BUYING A DODGE VERY UNPROFESSIONAL HOW THEY ARE HANDLINFG THESE BUYBACK TRUCKS SELLING U GARBAGE IS ONE THING THAN TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE ON THE BUYS BACKS ON RECALLED TRUCKS IS UNCALLED FOR

THIS TRUCK HAS HAD ISSUES WITH STEERING SINCE ABOUT 10,000 MILES. I HAVE HAD THE PREVIOUS STEERING RELATED RECALL (13V529000) FIXED YET THE STEERING STILL DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT. I HAD BROUGHT TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE AND EACH TIME I WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG. LAST SUNDAY I TURNED ON TO A TWO LANE ROAD AND AT A CRUISING SPEED OF ABOUT 35 MPH MY STABILITY CONTROL STARTED GOING CRAZY. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS, A LOUD POP. I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON WHEN I REALIZED THE CAR WAS NOT REACTING TO MY TURNING OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I WAS ON A SLIGHT RIGHT CURVE AND VEERING INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE WITHOUT STEERING AND I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES JUST BEFORE HITTING A PARKED VEHICLE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I AVOIDED A HEAD-ON COLLISION ONLY BY CHANCE...

I HAVE A 2012 RAM 2500 WITH 20,000 MILES. WHENEVER YOU GO OVER A BUMP OR RAILROAD TRACK THE TRUCK STARTS TO WOBBLE UNCONTROLLABLY THAT YOU NEED TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. ON ONE OCCASION I WAS ON THE NEW YORK THRUWAY TRAVELING AT 70 AND HIT A BUMP AND COULDN'T EVEN SEE STRAIGHT IT WAS WOBBLING SO BAD. HAVE BROUGHT TO DEALER WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED LAST YEAR AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A BAD STEERING DAMPENER WAS REPLACED AND PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. MY WIFE WILL NOT USE THE TRUCK BECAUSE IS TERRIFIED OF THE ISSUE. I HAVE OWNED MANY RAM TRUCKS AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER COULD RESULT INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

MY VEHICLE IS PART OF THE RAM TRUCK REPURCHASE UNDER RECALL N49. FCA US SENT ME AN OFFER FOR MY TRUCK THAT I RECEIVED OCTOBER 26. I FILLED OUT THE PAPERWORK AND E-MAILED IT TO THE LISTED ADDRESS. I CALLED THE NEXT DAY, OCTOBER 27 AND FCA US VERIFIED THEY HAD RECIEVED MY DOCUMENTATION. THEY SAID A CHECK FOR THE REPURCHASE HAD BEEN REQUESTED. I WAS INFORMED THIS WOULD ONLY TAKE 2-3 DAYS TO ISSUE A CHECK. I CALLED BACK ON NOVEMBER 17 BECAUSE I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM FCA US FOR THREE WEEKS. AT THIS POINT FCA US CLAIMED THEY WERE WAITING ON MY DOCUMENTS. I TOLD THEM THEY HAD ALREADY VERIFIED RECEIPT OF SAID DOCUMENTATION ON OCTOBER 27. THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID " LET ME LOOK" AND AFTER LOOKING VERIFIED FCA US DID HAVE THE DOCUMENTATION AND STATED THEY WOULD REQUEST A CHECK FOR THE REPURCHASE. I ASKED HOW...

MY DIRECTION OF TRAVEL IS STRAIGHT, WHEN DRIVING, BUT THE TOP OF STEERING WHEEL IS NOW POINTED TO THE 2:00 PM. I ASKED THE LARRY H MILLER RAM IN UTAH, IF I COULD DO A BUY BACK AND THEY TOLD ME "NO YOUR VEHICLE DOES NOT QUALIFY BECAUSE YOU HAD THE N49 DONE ON IT". WHEN I READ THE FCA V NHTSA IT DID NOT SAY THAT, IT SAID THEY "FCA" WILL DO A BUY BACK DUE TO THE CASE IN QUESTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE RAM 2500. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH AFTER ENCOUNTERING A POTHOLE, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING WITHOUT WARNING.

AT VARIOUS TIMES A STRANGE CLUNKING CLICKING LEFT FRONT WHEEL AREA AS DECELERATING AND TURNING LEFT WEIGHT TO THE FRONT. NOW CHOPPY TIRE LEFT FRONT AS THERE ARE NO BALL JOINTS IT APPEARS TIE ROD IS BAD OR SOMETHING.

DEALER SAYS NOT AFFECTED BY RECALL, BUT WE HAVE ALL THE SAME ISSUES, AND NOTED FOR AWHILE STEERING AT INTERMITTENT TIMES PROBLEMS... WHAT CAN I DO VERY AFRAID TO DRIVE AS WE DRIVE INTERSTATE OFTEN WITH LOADS, WE NEED THE VEHICLE BUT IT SEEMS TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AS RECALL EVEN THOUGH OUR VIN SHOWS DIFFERENT PLANT, BUT WHAT DO WE DO JUST BE KILLED FIRST? HELP PLEASE.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY DOING 65 MPH, I ACCIDENTALLY BUMPED MY IGNITION WITH MY KNEE AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. I DID NOTIFY DODGE OF THIS VIA THEIR WEBSITE BUT DID NOT GET A RESPONSE. I DRIVE A 2012 RAM 2500 AND NOTICED IT WAS NOT ON THE LIST FOR THE IGNITION RECALL. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO, I WOULD HATE FOR THERE TO BE A FATALITY BECAUSE OF THIS OVERSIGHT.

3 DIFFERENT INSTANCES, WHILE TRAVELING FROM DIFFERENT ROAD SURFACES,CEMENT TO GRAVEL, GRAVEL TO TAR. SEEMS SMALL DIFFERENCE IN ROAD HEIGHT CAUSES TRUCK TO SHAKE VIOLENT,AND LOSE CONTROL OF STEERING ABILITY.2 OF 3 TIMES ENDED UP COMING TO A STOP IN DITCH. ONLY AFTER CROSSING BOTH LANES.THANK GOD THERE WAS NOBODY ELSE ON THE ROAD AT THE TIME. AFTER THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED I WENT ON LINE TO SEE IF ANYBODY ELSE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THEM.

WHILE ENTERING HIGHWAY AND GETTING UP TO SPEED ONTO I95, TRUCK STARTED TO VIBRATE. I BACKED OFF THEN TRIED AGAIN TO ACCELERATE, AT THIS TIME THE STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY SHOCK IN MY HANDS LEFT AND RIGHT RAPIDLY.

I TOOK TRUCK IN THEY ROTATED TIRES AND IT WAS GONE FOR A LITTLE WHILE. NOW HERE IT IS JULY AND THE TRUCK IS STARTING TO REACT THAT WAY AGAIN, MOSTLY WHILE TRAVELING ON BRIDGES.

DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THIS WOULD HELP ....... THE NOISE STILL EXISTS AND HASN'T AFFECTED THE PERFORMANCE OF THE TRUCK....... I AM MORE CONCERNED WITH THIS NOISE SINCE THE MEDIA NEWS ON DODGE RECALLS.......CONCERNED??
