2002 DODGE RAM 1500 Suspension Problems

To put it as simple as I can describe it is a death wobble. that occurs every time you hit a bump in the road, hole, or pot hole. This truck has always had this death wobble from factory. The reason why this is a safety issue is because it causes the steering wheel to go out of balance and go into other lanes in the road and potentially cause an accident.

MY SON WAS ON THE I-5 COMING HOME FROM SCHOOL WHEN THE SEALS BLEW ON THE RACK AND PINION. UPON TAKING IT TO A REPAIR SHOP WE WERE INFORMED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT OF THE DODGE RAM TRUCKS AND THEY ARE KNOWN TO BLOW ANY WHERE FROM 50,000-100,000 MILES. IF WE HAD KNOWN ABOUT THIS DEFECT WE WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THE TRUCK. WHEN THE SEALS BLEW THE TRUCK STEERING COMPONENTS BEGAN TO GRIND AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD. THERE WAS NO WARNING AND LUCKILY MY SON HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO PULL OFF THE FREEWAY WITH OUT INJURING ANYONE. MY FATHER WHO HAS CONTRACTED WITH A LOCAL RESERVATION CONTACTED THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE DODGE RAM TRUCKS WERE KNOWN TO HAVE SERIOUS POWER STEERING AND FRONT END ISSUES. THE ONLY REASON THEY PURCHASED THE TRUCKS WERE THAT DODGE PROVIDED THE LOW BID AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN A GOVERNMENT RECALL ON THE STEERING AND THEIR PRACTICE IS TO ACCEPT THE LOW BID. THE POWER STEERING. TIE RODS AND SUSPENSION ARE MAJOR COMPONENTS TO GOING DOWN THE ROAD SAFELY. IT SHOULDN'T TAKE SOMEONE DYING TO SOLVE THE ISSUE. WHILE WE ALL ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE IMPACTS CAUSED BY LARGER VEHICLES AGAINST THE NEW SMALLER LIGHTER WEIGHT CARS IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT WE KNOW THE LARGER TRUCKS ARE SAFE TO DRIVE ON OUR ROADS. THE DODGE RAM HAS NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET, AS WELL AS DEALERS AND REPAIR SHOPS NOTING THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE. CHEVY TRUCKS, FORD TRUCKS AND TOYOTA TRUCKS DO NOT HAVE THE REPUTATION FOR HAVE ISSUES WITH THE FRONT END AND STEERING COMPONENTS. THUS THIS WOULD APPEAR TO BE A DEFECT ISOLATED TO THE DODGE RAM TRUCKS. SINCE YOU CANNOT REQUIRE AND INDIVIDUAL TO REPLACE THE RACK AND PINION THEMSELVES EVERY 50,000 MILES THE ONLY OPTION WOULD BE TO REQUIRE DODGE TO SOLVE THE ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTIONS. *TR

WHILE I WAS DRIVING, MY TRUCK MADE A ODD SOUND AND THEN CAME TO A SCREECHING HALT. TO MY SURPRISE, THE REAR DRIVESHAFT HAD DISCONNECTED AND FELL OUT OF MY 2002 DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCK. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED AND INSPECTED BY A MECHANIC, IT WAS DISCOVERED THE NUT CAME OFF OF THE PINION GEAR. THE AXLE AND COMPANION GEAR SLIPPING OUT OF THE PINION GEAR AND THE YOLK CAME COMPLETELY OFF. THE MECHANIC WAS AS CONCERN AND SURPRISED AS I WAS, CONSIDERING THIS TYPE OF THING SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO A VEHICLE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER VIA THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE WEBSITE AND ADVISED THEM OF MY SITUATION. SADLY, I RECEIVED A RESPONSE STATING THERE WAS NO INFORMATION REGARDING MY ISSUE. I CONDUCTED MY OWN RESEARCH ABOUT THE POSSIBLE DEFECT, AND FOUND THE NHTSA DETAILS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM WITH DODGE RAM TRUCKS. CURRENTLY, THEY ARE ONLY REVIEWING 2008-2014 MODELS. CONSIDERING MY 2002 DODGE RAM 1500 HAS INCURRED THE SAME PROBLEM, CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL ALL OF THEIR 2000 SERIES FOR THIS DEFECTIVE PART. I CONSIDER MYSELF AND OTHERS VERY LUCKY. IF THE DRIVESHAFT WOULD HAVE DISCONNECTED 10 MINUTES EARLIER WHILE I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. THE INCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. I'M FORTUNATE, I HAD REACHED MY EXIT AND WAS DRIVING 45 MPH WITH NO VEHICLE BEHIND ME WHEN MY TRUCK CAME APART AND STOPPED. *TR

REPLACED RACK AND PINION FOUR TIMES ALONG WITH THE UPPER CONTROL ARM, UPPER/LOWER BALL JOINTS, AND TIE ROD ENDS. THIS LAST TIME THE BOOTS ON THE RACK AND PINION BUSTED POWER STEERING FLUID WAS LOST CAUSING STEERING TO LOCK UP. THE SEVERE UNDERLYING ISSUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE RACK AND PINION IS THE LEFT AND RIGHT STEERING KNUCKLES ARE FAULTY CAUSING THE TIRES TO TURN TO FAR WHICH IS CAUSING THE DAMAGE TO THE RACK AND PINION BUSTING WHICH IS CAUSING THE DRAINAGE OF POWER STEERING FLUID AND LOCKING UP THE STEERING. *TR

I OWN A 2002 DODGE RAM 1500 AND I HAVE BEEN NOTICING THAT THE DASH HAS BEEN CRACKING AND THEN IT BEGAN TO CRACK MORE TO THE POINT OF HAVING NO DASH AT ALL. I DON'T THINK THIS IS JUST A COSMETIC DEFECT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IT DOESN'T TAKE A HOARD OF INSPECTORS TO SEE HOW THIS CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO OCCUPANTS IN THE TRUCK. LETS JUST FORGET ABOUT THE SAFETY ISSUE FOR A SECOND, AFTER BUYING A DODGE INTREPID AND HAVE THE MOTOR FAIL AT 60,000 AND I SAID " I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER DODGE", BUT I GAVE DODGE A SECOND CHANCE BECAUSE I LIKED THE LOOK OF THE TRUCK INSIDE AND OUT. WITH THAT SAID I DON'T MIND REPLACING THE CONTROL ARMS WHERE THE BALL JOINTS ARE WELDED IN, AT A COST OF 600.00 DOLLARS. WISH I WOULD HAVE LOOKED AT THAT TOO, BUT HAVING TO REPLACE THE DASH IS NOT JUSTIFIED AS AN EXPENSE THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR. IF I SOLD THIS TRUCK TO SOMEONE I KNOW THE FIRST THING THEY WOULD SAY, "THAT DOESN'T LOOK SAFE AND MAKES YOU WONDER WHAT ELSE IS UNSAFE WITH THE TRUCK." IT DOES MAKE YOU WONDER ABOUT THE REST OF THE TRUCK, DID THEY CUT CORNERS ON OTHER PARTS OF THE VEHICLE? LET ME ASK NHTSA WHEN YOU GET IN YOUR VEHICLE TO GO HOME AFTER WORK AND YOUR DASH STARTED CRACKING, TO THE POINT OF YOUR SPEAKERS FALLING OUT WHEN YOU HIT THE BRAKES WOULD YOU FEEL SAFE. THAT'S MY STORY AND I AM STICKING TO IT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK EARLY IN THE MORNING, ROADS WERE WET, TEMPERATURE WAS 23 DEGREES. WAS DRIVING ON A TWO LANE ROADWAY ABOUT 40 MPH. WAS ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH WHEN TRUCK STARTED TO FISH TAIL SLIGHTLY. REAR OF THE TRUCK SLID SLIGHTLY TOWARD DRIVERS SIDE. I TURNED THE WHEELS SLIGHTLY IN THE DIRECTION OF THE SLIDE AND THEN STARTED TO TURN THE WHEELS BACK THE OTHER DIRECTION AS TRUCK STARTED TO STRAIGHTEN OUT. AT THAT POINT I FELT SOMETHING GIVE IN THE FRONT END ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE TRUCK STARTED PULLING ACROSS THE CENTER LINE AND OFF THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WAS HEADING STRAIGHT FOR A TELEPHONE POLE. I TRIED PUSHING THE BRAKES FULLY, BUT THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I CUT THE WHEELS ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT , JUST MISSING THE TELEPHONE POLE. MY FRONT FENDER STRUCK A STEEL POLE FILLED WITH CEMENT NEXT TO A SPLIT RAIL FENCE. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK, THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE WAS LAYING UNDER THE TRUCK, ONLY HELD ON BY THE TIE ROD END. THIS WAS BY NO MEANS A VERY BAD CASE OF SLIDING AND OVER STEERING. THE UPPER BALL JOINT HAD JUST SEPARATED CAUSING THE TIRE TO BUCKLE UNDER. I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE ESCAPED THIS ACCIDENT WITHOUT INJURY OR HAVING MY TRUCK ROLL OVER. I HAVE SEEN ALOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE DODGE DURANGOS WITH THE BALL JOINT SEPARATION AND I CAN ONLY IMAGINE IT IS THE SAME SUSPENSION PARTS USED IN THE DODGE RAM 1500 4X4 TRUCKS. THIS NEEDS TO BE CHECKED INTO BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT INTERSTATE SPEED (70 MPH), AND SWITCHING LANES WHILE ON A BRIDGE, THE EXCESSIVE BOUNCING AND BAD SUSPENSION OF TRUCK MAKE ME LOSE CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK PULLED TO THE RIGHT AND THE REAR END OF THE TRUCK ENDED UP SPINNING AROUND, MAKING A COMPLETE 180--- ON A BRIDGE!! I ENDED UP SLAMMING INTO THE SAFETY RAIL OF THE BRIDGE. AND THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T GO OFF. LUCKILY, I WASN'T INJURED. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THE ACCIDENT WAS MY FAULT, BUT AFTER TALKING TO A FEW OWNERS OF THIS MODEL, I FIGURED OUT THAT MANY OF US HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRUCK. THE QUESTION IS, WHY IS THIS PROBLEM NOT BEING FIXED?? I HAVE TALKED TO THE DEALER, AND THEY JUST KEEP REFERRING ME TO DEALERS FROM OTHER TOWNS. *JB

ALSO WHEN IM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR HIGHWAY IN THE 2002 DODGE RAM AND I RUN OVER A SMALL BUMP SUCH AS ON OVERPASSES WHEN THE BRIDGE PORTION MEETS THE GROUND SIDE MY TRUCK WILL LOSE CONTROL SOMETIMES TO THE POINT OF THE REAR END ATTEMPTING TO SPIN THE TRUCK AROUND I GUESS THE ONLY THING THAT HAS PREVENTED THIS IS THE FORWARD MOVEMENT ITSELF, HOWEVER I HAVE COME UPON SITUATIONS WHEN IM TURNING IN A PARTICULAR DIRECTION AND A BUMP IS IN THE ROAD PRIOR TO THE TURN AND THE TRUCK LEAVES ME LIMITED CONTROL AS THE REAR END SUSPENSION REACTING TO THE SMALL BUMP ATTEMPTS TO MAKE THE TRUCKS REAR END JUMP AND ATTEMPT TO SPEND AROUND.

REGARDING THE NEW BODY STYLE DODGE 1500 RAM PICKUP. MY TRUCK IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD AND ABOUT 15000 MILES. IT HAS A STEERING PROBLEM. GENERALLY, IT PULLS TO THE RIGHT, DANGEROUSLY! THE SECOND DAY OF MY OWNERSHIP, WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY ALIGNED IT. TOLD ME IF I STILL HAD A PROBLEM, IT WAS A TIRE PROBLEM. THE ALIGNMENT DID NOT HELP. I HAD THE TIRES ROTATED AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME AND THIS DID NOT HELP. THE STEERING PROBLEM IS WORSE NOW. IF I TRAVEL OVER A BUMP OR A SEAM IN THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE WILL VERE TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT OR BOTH DIRECTIONS IN AN UNCONTROLABLE AND VIOLENT MANNER. I MUST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. YES, IT IS VERY SCARY. SO MUCH SO, THAT I AGAIN RETURNED TO THE DEALER, THEY ALIGNED IT AGAIN. THE PROBLEM SEEMS WORSE NOW. I WAS TOLD, IF THE ALIGNMENT DID NOT HELP TO BRING IT BACK AND THEY WOULD ORDER/INSTAL A NEW RACK. I DID SO AND WAS PUT OFF. TODAY, 5-30-03 I RETURNED TO THE DEALER TO ASK ABOUT THE FIX FOR MY STEERING PROBLEM. I AGAIN WAS PUT OFF AND I ASKED TO CALL CHRYSLER. I DID, THE NICE AND EFFICIENT LADY NEW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT WITH THE STEERING PROBLEM. I ASKED IF THERE WERE ALOT OF COMPLAINTS LIKE MINE AND WITHOUT SAYING "YES", SHE INDICATED THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS. WHILE ON HOLD WITH HER, SHE CALLED MY DEALER. I LATER CALLED THE DEALER AS INSTRUCTED. THE SERVICE ADVISOR I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH FOR THREE WEEKS SAID "THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING, CHRYSLER IS AWARE AND HAS RE-DESIGNED PARTS FOR THE FIX, HOWEVER THEY ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE." I AM TO TAKE MY TRUCK IN ON MONDAY, 6-2-03 FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS SO THEY CAN "LOOK AT IT AGAIN." SAD TO SAY, BUT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY NEW DODGE TRUCK. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL VERE VIOLENTLY OUT OF CONTROL. WHAT DOES A CONSUMER DO? HOW LONG BEFORE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE? HOW MANY PEOPLE MUST DIE OR THEIR LIVES CHANGED FOREVER BEFORE THE PROBLEM IS ADDRESSED ON A LARGE SCALE?*AK
