2007 DODGE RAM 1500 Steering Problems

Driving and all of the sudden you get a death wobble, truck bouncing/ rattling making it hard to steer and won't stop until you slow down or stop. More than one date bit the one I will add below is most current

Driving and it will randomly have a death wobble...hit a bump or at a certain speed it will have a death wobble and is hard to control until slowed or stopped.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING 60 MILES AN HOUR DOWN 29 SOUTH, THE VEHICLE JUST SHUT OFF, NO POWER STEERING, NO ABS BRAKES, AFTER IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PUT IT IN PARK, I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF, THEN TURNED THE IGNITION ON AND IT STARTED UP AN DROVE.

I WAS TOLD THE CLOCK SPRING WAS THE CAUSE OF THE CLICKING NOISE. WHEN THE TECH GOT INTO THE STEERING TO REPLACE THE CLOCK SPRING IT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM WAS THE STEERING COLUMN. THIS COULD BE A SAFETY PROBLEM IF THE STEERING COLUMN SHOULD LOCK UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND MAKE MY TRUCK SAFE AGAIN WAS TO REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE 7 DAYS AGO. I HAVE DISCOVERED A DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT ONLY PRESENTS ITSELF IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFUELING. AT LOW SPEEDS IN, TURNING, OR WHILE MANEUVERING THROUGH TRAFFIC THE TRUCK WILL CHUG AND THEN DIE. LEAVING MY VEHICLE WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND LITTLE BRAKING ABILITY. IT HAPPENED TWICE AFTER FUELING FRIDAY, AND THEN AGAIN THREE TIMES AFTER FUELING TODAY. TWO OF THE THREE TIMES I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND WAS ALMOST IN A COLLISION BY UNSUSPECTING DRIVERS BEHIND ME. THE THIRD TIME I WAS TURNING ONTO A SHARP ON RAMP TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. THANKFULLY IT DIED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RAMP AND NOT AT THE TOP WHERE I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN TRAFFIC. AND THANKFULLY MY WIFE WASN'T DRIVING, BECAUSE WITHOUT POWER STEERING HER AND MY TWO DAUGHTERS WOULD HAVE LIKELY STRAIGHTENED OUT THE ON RAMP AND FOUND THEMSELVES AT THE BOTTOM OF A STEEP BANK. IF THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHILE CROSSING A BUSY INTERSECTION A COLLISION WOULD BE HIGHLY LIKELY WITH FATALITIES FOR SURE. THE PROBLEM LASTS FOR ABOUT THE FIST TEN TO FIFTEEN MILES OF DRIVING, AND DIES AT LOWER SPEEDS 0-25 MPH. I HAVE READ ABOUT NHTSA INVESTIGATIONS INTO OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES PRESENTING THE SAME ISSUES, AND WHERE THE WARRANTIES HAVE BEEN EXTENDED ON THE FUEL TANKS TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THESE WARRANTIES MUST BE EXTENDED TO THE 2007 DODGE RAM 1500 AS WELL IN ORDER TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS CAUGHT IN TRAFFIC AND KILLED.

MY SON AND HIS CHILDREN RIDE IN MY TRUCK WITH SUCH A GREAT HAZARD AND I'M TOLD TO WAIT UNTIL THEY HAVE PARTS? I CANNOT AFFORD TO WAIT NOR CAN I AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE I OWN THIS ONE. I WORK FOR A NON-PROFIT COMPANY AND HAVE LIMITED RESOURCES. WHAT ABOUT THE RECALLS I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF? I WOULD LIKE FCA TO BUY MY VEHICLE BACK.

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK BRAND NEW IN 07. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT END FROM DAY ONE. I TOOK IT IN TO THE SHOP 3 OR FOR TIMES WHEN UNDER WARRANTY FOR THEM TO TELL ME NOTHING WAS WRONG. THE SET OF TIRES I HAVE ON IT IS THE FORTH SET DUE TO WEARING OUT. THE TRUCK PULLS HARD TO THE RIGHT, TOOK IT IN FOR AN ALIGNMENT AND WAS TOLD IT WASN'T OUT & THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE FRONT END. THIS WASN'T A DODGE DEALER. WHEN YOU GET UP TO 60 MPH, THE TRUCK STARTS SHAKING VERY BAD. IF I HIT A BUMP OR GO ACROSS A BRIDGE, IT JERKS THE STEERING WHEEL VERY BAD & ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK. I HAVE REPLACED THE SHOCKS, THE BUSHING'S ON THE SWAY BAR, & BRAKES AND ROTORS THINKING THIS COULD MAYBE BE THE PROBLEM. IT STILL DOES IT TILL THIS DAY. I SEEN WHERE SOME 07 MEGA CABS HAVE BEEN RECALLED & IN MY OPINION I THINK THEY NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT ALL 07 DODGE RAM 1500 MODELS.

Mileage: 36,000

WHILE DRIVING DURING NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE WILL BEGIN TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE EXCESSIVELY. THIS USUALLY OCCURS WHEN A BUMP IN THE ROAD IS HIT OR WHEN TAKING A CURVE IN THE ROAD AT THE MENTIONED SPEED. SHAKING AND VIBRATING ONLY DECREASES WHEN VEHICLE SPEED IS REDUCED BELOW 50 MPH. HAVE REPLACED SHOCKS AND IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING TIE ROD ENDS TO SEE IF THIS ALLEVIATES THE ISSUE. HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF DURING NORMAL OPERATION, THE WILL SPUTTER AND STALL OUT WHEN COMING TO A STOP, THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED FOUR TIMES IN THE PAST

THIS IS A MEGACAB (SOLID FRONT AXLE) AND THE FRONT END STARTED SHAKING SO BAD THAT I WAS NOT ABLE TO STEER AND IT WAS VERY HARD TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN. ONLY REASON IT DID NOT CAUSE A CRASH WAS BECAUSE THE CARS NEXT TO ME WERE ABLE TO GET OUT OF MY WAY FAST ENOUGH. I REPLACED THE TRACK BAR BUSHINGS, THE STEERING DAMPER, ALIGNED THE FRONT END AND INSTALLED AN AFTERMARKET STEERING BOX BRACE. THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN 3 MORE TIMES AND I AM NO LONGER ABLE TO DRIVE THE TRUCK BECAUSE IT IS WAY TOO UNSAFE TO OPERATE ON PUBLIC ROADS. I HAVE SEEN THOUSANDS OF OTHER DODGE RAM OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE AND IT IS NICK NAMED DODGE DEATH WOBBLE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE DIES, THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING HOME A FEW DAYS AGO WHEN SUDDENLY THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED HARD LEFT WHILE THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK STARTED SLIDING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I CORRECTED THE WHEEL BUT IT WAS SO LOOSE THAT WE FISH TAILED THE OTHER DIRECTION. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VIOLENTLY WHIPPING BACK AND FORTH AS I TRIED DESPERATELY TO GAIN CONTROL. FINALLY THE TRUCK STRAIGHTENED OUT AND SEEMED TO BE FUNCTIONING NORMALLY AFTER THE NEAR CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT. THE FOLLOWING DAY I TOOK THE TRUCK AND IT STARTED SCREECHING LIKE DRAGGING METAL UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOORBOARD. I GOT OUT TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS DRAGGING FROM THE TRUCK, BUT DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. I MADE IT HOME BUT IT WAS SCREECHING OFF AND ON. THE NEXT DAY WHEN I JACKED THE WHEEL OFF THE GROUND TO CHECK UNDER THE CAR I FOUND THAT THE WHEEL WAS VERY LOOSE. I STARTED DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND I SOON FOUND TWO RECALLS FOR MY TRUCK. THE FIRST RECALL WAS A FAULTY LEFT TIE ROD ASSEMBLY AND ANOTHER WAS AN UNRELIABLE WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY. I CALLED CHRYSLER CORP. TO GET MY TRUCK FIXED BUT I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT PART OF ANY OF THE RECALLS. I VERIFIED THAT MY TRUCK WAS ON BOTH RECALL LISTS AND SHE AGREE WHILE EXPLAINING EVERY VEHICLE IN THAT PARTICULAR PRODUCTION WASN'T RECALLED. *TR

DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS ON THE INTERSTATE 64 IN RICHMOND VA, I EXPERIENCED THE SO CALLED "DEATH WOBBLE" AFTER GOING OVER A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT. THE FRONT OF MY TRUCK BEGAN TO VIBRATE AND SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. IT STOPPED ONCE THE VEHICLE SLOWED TO APPROX. 45 MPH.

THE OUTER TIE RODS ARE WORN AGAIN. I HAD THEM REPLACED ALREADY ONCE, AT APPROXIMATELY 22,000 MILES. DON'T THINK THAT THEY SHOULD WEAR SO FAST, THIS WILL BE THE 3RD SET INCLUDING THE ORIGINALS. I SEE THAT DODGE HAS RECALLED THE 2008 MY AND GREATER, BUT NOT 2007. I THINK WITH A LATE MODEL 2007, CHANCES ARE THE PARTS ARE THE SAME AS THE 2007 MY. I THINK DODGE SHOULD PAY FOR THIS 2ND REPAIR AND PROVIDE SOME SORT OF WARRANTY FOR IT FOR THE FUTURE. *TR

I RECEIVED A FRANTIC PHONE CALL FROM MY SON STATING HIS TRUCK DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. AT THIS TIME HE COULDN'T START THE VEHICLE AND THE AREA WAS PITCH BLACK AND HE WAS ON A BLIND CURVE. MY 17 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING HOME AT APPROX. 10:00 P.M. ON THE WINDING, DARK, MOUNTAIN ROADS OF OUR COMMUNITY. HE WAS DRIVING HIS 2007 DODGE RAM HEMI 5.7 LITRE PICKUP. THIS PICKUP HAS VERY FEW MILES ON IT FOR IT'S YEAR. AS HE CAME INTO A CORNER AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND BEGAN TO NAVIGATE HIS TURN THE ENGINE COMPLETELY STALLED LEAVING HIM WITH NO BRAKES, NO POWER STEERING AND NO ENGINE. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS AND HE WAS NOT ABLE TO NAVIGATE THE TURN AND COULD NOT USE THE BREAKS AT THAT POINT. HE WAS ON A DARK ROAD AT THE BACK SIDE OF A BLIND TURN WITH NO POWER AND NO BRAKES. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES HE WAS ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE AND SAFELY GET IT OFF THE ROAD. FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO CARS IN THE SEVERAL MINUTES IT TOOK HIM TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE, THE FIRST WAS ON A COUNTRY WINDING ROAD WITH LESS TRAFFIC AND AT A LOWER RATE OF SPEED. AS I HAVE RESEARCHED, IT APPEARS THAT THERE HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING DODGE / CHRYSLER 5.7 ENGINE PROBLEMS WITH THESE EXACT SPECIFICATIONS AND CIRCUMSTANCES. WHEN ARE WE, THE CONSUMERS, GOING TO GET RESULTS? WILL IT BE AFTER SOMEONE IS KILLED AND THEIR FAMILY IS FORCED TO SUE DODGE BEFORE THEY WILL ADMIT THE ONGOING PROBLEM? AS I GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM I LITERALLY FOUND THOUSANDS OF FORUMS DEDICATED TO THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM AND OVER 100 PLUS WEBSITES FROM CONSUMERS WARNING OTHERS THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN TO THEM. I EVEN FOUND FLEET MECHANICS FROM DODGE CHIMING IN ON FORUMS STATING THAT DODGE KNOWS OF THE ISSUE BUT REFUSES TO CORRECT IT. I AM ASKING THAT THE NHTSA TAKE HEED AND FORCE DODGE / CHRYSLER TO DO THE ETHICAL THING AND CORRECT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AN INNOCENT LIFE IS TAKEN. *TR

MY TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN I DRIVE IN EXCESS OF 57 MPH. WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD (SPECIFICALLY THE SEEMS BETWEEN THE ROAD PAVEMENT AND THE CONCRETE BRIDGES) OR AM IN A CURVE, THE SHAKING IS EVEN WORSE. THE ONLY SOLUTION IS SLOWING DOWN TO 20-30 MPH. I HAVE REPLACED MY STEERING SUSPENSION, HAD MY TIRES REBALANCED, HAD MY TIRES ROTATED, AND HAD DIAGNOSTICS CHECKS ON TIE RODS, STRUTS, BEARINGS, ETC. TO NO AVAIL. *TR

WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS AT 70MPH OR MORE IF YOU HIT ANY BUMPS IN THE ROAD YOU GET A VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE FRONT END THAT IS SO SEVERE THAT YOU HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 30MPH FOR IT TO STOP. WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING ITS HARD TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND TO KEEP IT IN YOUR LANE,ITS EVEN HARDER TO MANEUVER AROUND TURNS. THIS EVEN HAS A NAME FOR IT WITH FRONT END SHOPS"DODGE DEATH WOBBLE" WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING ALL OTHER VEHICLES TEND TO MOVE AWAY FROM YOU AND I'VE EVEN HAD PEOPLE FOLLOW ME INTO A GAS STATION TO TELL ME THEY THOUGHT I LOST A WHEEL BECAUSE OF HOW VIOLENT MY TRUCK SHAKES. THE DEALERSHIPS TELL ME THERE'S NOTHING WRONG AND SHOPS SAY THEY HAVE CHANGED THE ENTIRE FRONT ENDS ON VEHICLES AND IT STILL DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEMS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS WRONG AND DANGEROUS AND THE NICKNAME IS FITTING. PLEASE HELP MAKE DODGE FIX THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT THE TRUCK A WEEK PRIOR TO THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED. I HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD GOING ABOUT 55 MPH. WHEN I HIT THE BUMP THE WHOLE TRUCK AND THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. I COULD NOT CONTROL THE TRUCK. IT FELT LIKE THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK HAD BROKEN AND WAS COMING APART. I HIT THE BREAKS AND IT FINALLY STOPPED SHAKING WHEN I GOT DOWN TO ABOUT 30 MPH. I PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT AND LOOKED AROUND THE TRUCK, AND I FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT SO I SLOWLY DROVE IT BACK HOME. HAD IT LOOKED AT THE NEXT MORNING AND WAS TOLD SINCE IT HAD ONLY DONE IT ONCE THAT I SHOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT. IT HAS BEEN ABOUT 3 WEEKS SINCE THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, AND IT HAS DONE IT 5 TIMES NOW. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND LET THEM LOOK AT IT, AND THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG THAT EVERYTHING LOOKED LIKE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO. 2 OF THE 5 TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE I WAS GOING ABOUT 65-70 MPH AND HAD TO SLAM ON MY BREAKS IN TRAFFIC TO SLOW IT DOWN TO TRY TO GET IT TO STOP BEFORE I LOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK, ALMOST CAUSING THE DRIVER BEHIND ME TO HIT ME. I HAVE DONE ALOT OF RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE AND FOUND THAT LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME TRUCKS AND THEY ARE CALLING IT A "DEATH WOBBLE", YET NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT? I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY TRUCK ON THE INTERSTATE NOW BECAUSE IM AFRAID THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD IF I LOSE CONTROL OF THE TRUCK WHEN IT STARTS THE VIOLENT SHAKING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, AND I FEEL LIKE THERE SHOULD BE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT IT ASAP. *TR

I OWN A 2007 DODGE MEGA CAB 1500. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW AND HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE ALMOST FROM THE BEGINNING. THIS WOBBLE HAS NOT JUST HAPPENED A COUPLE TIMES, IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME IT IS DRIVEN. I HAVE TRIED TO GET THE DEATH WOBBLE FIXED SEVERAL TIMES. EACH TIME I WAS TOLD IT WAS FIXED BUT FOR ME TO DO SOMETHING ELSE TOO. I HAVE ADDED A LEVELING KIT, REPLACED TIRES TO THE SHOPS SPECS, SHOCKS, FRONT STEERING STABILIZER AND ALL OF THE WORK THE DODGE SHOP HAS DONE. THE MOST RECENT EVENT IS THAT I PICKED UP MY TRUCK FROM THE DEALER TODAY FROM IT BEING IN THE SHOP FOR THE SAME REASON I HAD IT IN THE SHOP 4 OTHER TIMES. I WAS TOLD THE WHOLE FRONT END WAS FIXED AND PROMISED THE PROBLEM WAS TAKEN CARE OF. I PAID THE BILL AND LEFT. I WAS 20 MINUTES AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND IT STARTED AGAIN. I PULLED OVER AND CALLED THE DEALER. I WAS TOLD NO ONE WAS IN SERVICE EVEN THOUGH THEY DID NOT CLOSE FOR ANOTHER 30 MINUTES AND TO BRING THE TRUCK BACK. THE TRUCK HAD ALREADY BEEN THERE FOR ALMOST A MONTH. I TURNED AROUND TO GO BACK TO THE DEALER MY WIFE WAS IN FRONT OF ME IN HER VEHICLE AND THE WOBBLE STARTED AGAIN. SHE MOVED OVER 3 LANES OF HIGHWAY BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO FLIP THE TRUCK. THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE APPEARED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO SHAKE RIGHT OFF. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE ONLY THING THEY COULD DO WAS HAVE ME LEAVE IT AGAIN AND SOMEONE WOULD LOOK AT IT TOMORROW. SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE SEVERALLY HURT WITH THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING I HAVE BEEN TOLD TO DO AND NOTHING WORKS. THERE ARE NO RECALLS, NO INVESTIGATIONS, NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO HAVE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR CAUSE A DEATH BECAUSE OF DODGE'S FAULTY EQUIPMENT. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO HAVE TO DO BEFORE THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED? IS IT GOING TO BE ANOTHER FIRESTONE TIRE ISSUE? I CANT AFFORD TO ANOTHER VEHICLE BUT I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF IT DOES NOT GET FIXED. *KB

I HAVE A 2007 DODGE RAM MEGACAB, I EXPERIENCE WHAT IVE COME TO HEAR PEOPLE CALL "DEATH WOBBLE" IN THE TRUCK. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN NOVEMBER OF 2010, THE TRUCK WAS INSPECTED, I DROVE THE TRUCK ON THE HIGHWAY, WAS DRIVING AT 100-120KM/HR THEN EXPERIENCE A SHAKING IN THE TRUCK, A VIOLENT SHAKING, MUCH MORE SEVERE THEN MISALIGNMENT OR PART WEAR. I ARRIVED IN FREDRICTON, GOT SERVICE DONE ON VEHICLE, AND HAD FRONT END CHECKED OUT, ALL WAS GOOD. RECENTLY I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND DEATH WOBBLE HAPPENED AGAIN, AND SHEARED MY OUTER TIE ROD END OFF. IT WASNOT A FAILURE FROM THE BALL IN THE SOCKET, IT WAS THE SHAFT THAT GOES THROUGH THE STEERING KNUCKLE THAT WAS SHEARED OFF. CALLED AND ASKED DODGE IF THEY HAD ANY ISSUSES WITH UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING IN THEIR TRUCKS, AKA DEATH WOBBLE THEY SAID THEY HAVENT. I HAVE A PRETTY GOOD BACKGROUND IN MECHANICS, I KNOW THE DEATH WOBBLE IS NOT RIGHT, AND IVE NEVER SEEN A TIE ROD SHEAR OFF LIKE THAT BEFORE. *TR

I BOUGHT THE TRUCK 10/29/10 WITH 22 K MILES ON IT AND HAVE 29950K NOW. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE FRONT END, RACK AND PINION STEERING SYSTEM TIE ROD ENDS, LEAKY BACK WINDOW, THIRD BRAKE LIGHT, BALANCE AND ROTATE TIRES 3 TIMES, RAIL DUST, NEW CARPET, LEAKY THIRD LIGHT, NEW ROTORS AND BRAKES AT 24K, AIR CLEANER, WIPERS. I QUESTIONED THE FRONT END WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND WAS TOLD IT AS JUST TIRES OUT OF BALANCE. WHEN I PICKED IT UP AND ASKED IF THE FRONT END LOOKED GOOD BECAUSE I NOTICED THE FRONT TIE ROD ENDS HAD A LOT OF PLAY AND I WAS CONCERNED WITH ISSUES DUE TO THAT. I WAS TOLD THE FRONT END WAS FINE NO PROBLEMS WITH IT. I LATER TOOK IT BACK AND HAD ALL THE FRONT STEERING COMPONENTS REPLACED. I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AND HAD NO ALIGNMENT AND WAS TOLD THEY ONLY SET THE TOE. I HAD TO KEEP THE STEERING WHEEL A FULL HALF TURN TO THE LEFT TO GO STRAIGHT. I PAID FOR AN ALIGNMENT AND THE PRINTOUT SHOWED MY TOE WAS SET UNDER THE SPECIFICATIONS. I HAVE TIRED UNEVENLY WORN DUE TO BAD FRONT END COMPONENTS. I HAD TO HAVE THE FRONT HEAD LAMP REPLACED DUE TO CRACKING INSIDE THE LENS, A BACK SEAT THAT THE LATCH DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. AFTER PICKING UP THE VEHICLE BOLTS THAT NEEDED TIGHTENING DUE TO CARPET BEING REPLACED. I QUESTION HOW THIS VEHICLE WAS PROPERLY INSPECTED AND NONE OF THESE THINGS WERE NOTICED. I DRIVE MY DAUGHTER DAILY IN THIS VEHICLE AND IT REMAINS TO HAVE FRONT END PROBLEMS. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND NOTICED A LOT OF ISSUES WITH CRASHES RELATING TO FAULTY FRONT ENDS ON THESE VEHICLES. IT CONTINUES TO REMAIN UNSAFE. *TR

PURCHASED A 2007 DODGE RAM 1500 4X4 NOV. 30TH 2007. VEHICLE WAS SOLD TO ME AS NEW(HAD ROUGHLY 1400 MILE ON IT). TOOK TRUCK HOME AND NOTICED A DITINCT PULL/DRIFT TO THE RIGHT. TOOK BACK TO DEALER. THEY SAID STEERING WHEEL WAS OFF CENTER AND NEED AN ALIGNMENT. TOOK THE TRUCK HOME STILL DOING SAME THING. BRING TRUCK BACK. 3 DAYS LATER I AM INFORMED THEY DISCOVERED A RADIAL PULL IN FRONT PASENGER TIRE AND WOULD REPLACE TWO TIRES. I SIAD I WOULD PREFER 4(WHICH THEY DID REPLACE). TAKE TRUCK HOME AND STILL DOING SAME THING. BRING BACK A 3RD TIME SERVIC MANAGER DRIVES WITH ME AND AGREES. THEY PUT IT BACK ON THE ALIGNMENT MACHINE, SAYS TRUCK IS SPOT DEAD ON, AND THIS IS THE WAY YOUR TRUCK DRIVES. I DISAGREE STATING THIS IS MY 4TH RAM AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS BEFORE. SAID THE BEST THEY COULD DO WAS CALL IN A CHRYSLER ENGINEER(COULD TAKE 2 MONTHS). I TOOK THE TRUCK TO 3 DIFFERENT ESTABLISHMENTS INCLUDING ANOTHER DODGE DEALER AND ALL 3 GAVE ME WRIITEN DOCUMENTATION STATING THE TRUCK DRIFTS EXCESSIVELY. BROUGHT THESE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD I NEED TO WAIT FOR THE ENGINEER. FINALLY OUT OF FRUSTRATION I TAKE THE TRUCK BACK STATING I AM CONCERNED IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND WOULD LIKE A LOANER UNTILL THE SITUATION IS REMEDIED. THE GENERAL MANAGER TEST DROVE WITH ME AND TOLD ME THIS IS THE WAY THE TRUCK DRIVES AND WOULD NOT GIVE ME A LOANER. AM STILL WAITING FOR THE ENGINEER. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!! *CN
