IN THE 2014 RAM 2500 THE STEERING DRAG LINK NUT THAT ADJUST THE STEERING WHEEL COMES LOOSE AND WILL OVER TIME CAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL TO LOOSE ITS POSITION FROM CENTER. THE STEERING LINK IS BADLY DESIGNED AND ALLOWS FOR THE STEERING TO GO OFF CENTER CAUSING THE TRUCK TO TURN VERY HARD RIGHT, TO COMPENSATE THE STEERING WHEEL NEEDS TO BE HELD IN THE 10-11 O'CLOCK POSITION TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT. THE STEERING AND ALIGNMENT CAN STRAIGHTEN THE WHEEL, BUT OVER TIME THE LOCK NUTS COME LOOSE AND THE TRUCK WILL TURN HARD RIGHT. THE DEALERSHIPS DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX T THE PROBLEM AFTER SEVERAL SERVICE APPOINTMENTS AND RAM CUSTOMER CARE DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND ARE NON RESPONSIVE TO THE ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ~10K MILES.

I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER ON 3 OCCASIONS TO HAVE THE R46/NHTSA 15V-541 SAFETY RECALL CORRECTED AND THEY CONTINUE TO STATE THEY HAVE NO ESTIMATION OF WHEN THEY WILL HAVE THE PARTS TO CORRECT THIS HAZARD.

SHIPS FROM THE FACTORY WITH DRAG LINK ADJUSTER RETAINER NUTS THAT DO NOT FIT PROPERLY AND ARE NOT FASTENED TIGHTLY.

A WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK THE PROBLEMS BEGAN, THE STEERING STARTED RATTLING EVERY TIME I TURNED LEFT AND ON A FEW OCCASIONS IT GOT EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER THE TRUCK, THEY REBUILT THE FRONT AXLE ONCE THEN FINALLY REPLACED THE WHOLE FRONT AXLE ASSEMBLY AND WIRING. THE TRUCK SHAKES BAD AT 65+ WITH THE FACTORY FIRESTONE TIRES I REPLACED THEM. THE A/C VENT CONTROLS STOPPED WORKING THE MOTORS AND HEATER CORE HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE ACCELERATOR/THROTTLE IS EXTREMELY DELAYED ALMOST TO THE POINT OF BEING DANGEROUS AND WHEN YOU LET OFF THE THROTTLE THE TRUCK VIOLENTLY BANGS INTO GEAR. THE SERVICE DEF LIGHT CAME ON YESTERDAY 12/2/14 WITH 3/4 FULL TANK. I JUST REACHED 8500 MILES AND THESE TRUCKS ARE DANGEROUS I HOPE CHRYSLER FIXES THESE NIGHTMARE PROBLEMS. *JS

DRIVING ON IDAHO HIGHWAY 21, SPEED LIMIT IS 45 WITH SLOWER SPEEDS REQUIRED AROUND CORNERS DUE TO THE WINDY ROAD. I WAS TRAVELING SOUTH AT APPROX MILE POST 26 ABOUT TO ENTER A SHARP RIGHT HAND CORNER AND SUDDENLY THE STEERING WHEEL WAS COMPLETELY LOOSE AND ROTATED WITHOUT MAKING ANY CHANGES IN THE TRUCK DIRECTION. ONCE A REALIZED I COULD NOT TURN I QUICKLY SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND CAME TO A STOP ON THE OPPOSITE SHOULDER. I BASICALLY CROSSED THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE AND STOPPED JUST BEFORE EXITING THE ROADWAY. I WAS VERY LUCKY THIS CORNER HAD A SMALL TURNOUT AS MOST OF THE CORNERS DO NOT. ONCE THE VEHICLE STOPPED I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL WAS FREE SPINNING WITH AN OBVIOUS MECHANICAL FAILURE. I RESTARTED THE ENGINE WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE TRUCK SLOWLY OUT OF ONCOMING...
