2010 RAM 3500 Steering Problems

Fobik key ignition vibrates causing switching from (RUN) position to (ACC) position, shutting off the engine and making it almost impossible to steer a 3000kg machine without power steering increasing the risk for accidents.

WHILE DRIVING, THE TRUCK JUST SHUTS OFF. RESULTING IN LOSS OF STEERING, LIGHTS AND POWER BREAKS.

WHILE MY DEALERSHIP HAS TAKEN CARE OF MY 3 ISSUES HERE, I WANT TO LET FOLKS KNOW: FRONT END STEERING. 2 YRS AFTER PURCHASE, I STARTED TO HAVE FRONT END STEERING SHIMMY. THE FIRST TIME, THE TIE ROD BECAME LOOSE, AND WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP. 2ND TIME, I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, (LOOSE SAND) AND THE TIE ROD END LITERALLY SNAPPED IN 2, RENDERING THE STEERING USELESS. READING THE LADIES STORY ABOUT HER HUSBAND BEING TICKETED FOR FALLING ASLEEP WHEN I HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN TO MY TRUCK I THOUGHT I NEEDED TO SPEAK OUT. DRIVE LINE ISSUE: THE SUPPORT BEARING ON THE DRIVE SHAFT, WENT WHILE DRIVING WITH OUT NOTICE. LUCKILY I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY DRIVE WAY WHICH IS ABOUT 500 FEET LONG AND WASN'T GOING BUT ABOUT 15 MPH. IT HAD TO BE TOWED IN AND WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I LOVE MY TRUCK AND CURRENTLY HAVE 136K MILES ON IT. THE FUEL MILEAGE WASN'T IMPRESSIVE BUT MINOR MODS HAVE BROUGHT IT CLOSER TO 20 MPG WHEN EMPTY. I THINK I STILL HAVE PICTURES OF BOTH THE SNAPPED TIE ROD AND WHEN IT WAS WORE OUT. LUCKILY I WASN'T GOING FAST WHEN THE SNAP HAPPENED, BUT THE SAND SHOULDN'T HAVE TORQUED THE TIE ROD SO HARD TO SNAP IT WHEN BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY.

IT WAS REPORTED TO ME BY GRADY AMBULANCE IN ATLANTA GEORGIA THAT THEIR RAM 3500 AMBULANCES, YEARS 2010 THRU 2013, WERE EXPERIENCING COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING DUE TO THE FRACTURING OF THE DRAG LINK TO PITMAN ARM BALL JOINT DURING LOW SPEED HIGH TURN ANGLE PARKING LOT MANEUVERS. ELEVEN VIN'S WERE SENT TO ME, WHICH RANGED BETWEEN 2010-2013 MODEL YEARS, AND MILEAGE RANGING FROM APPROXIMATELY 80K -140K MILES. IT WAS REPORTED AND VERIFIED THROUGH WARRANTY THAT SOME OF THESE 11 VEHICLES HAD RECALL 13V-529 PERFORMED FOR THE TIE ROD PRIOR TO THE DRAG LINK BALL JOINT FRACTURING, AND SOME OF THE 11 VEHICLES DID NOT HAVE 13V-529 CAMPAIGN PERFORMED PRIOR TO THE DRAG LINK BALL JOINT FRACTURING. THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DRAG LINK "END" WHERE THE BALL JOINT WAS FRACTURING WAS NOT PART OF RECALL CAMPAIGN 13V-529 SO GRADY WAS PURCHASING THE DRAG LINK END SERVICE PARTS FROM LOCAL DEALERSHIPS AND REPLACING AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE. I RECEIVED 3 OF THE DRAG LINK ENDS, SHIPPED FROM ATLANTA TO MY OFFICE AT FCA US LLC IN AUBURN HILLS. I NOTIFIED MY MANAGEMENT OF THIS AND GAVE 2 OF THE 3 DRAG LINK ENDS WITH FRACTURED STUDS TO THE MATERIALS LAB FOR QUICK ANALYSIS. ALL 3 DRAG LINK ENDS AND BALL JOINTS APPEARED VISUALLY TO HAVE EXACTLY EXACTLY THE SAME FAILURE MODE, WHICH AT FIRST GLANCE WAS A FATIGUE FRACTURE (2 PC SEPARATION) THROUGH THE SHANK OF THE BALL STUD. FCA MATERIALSL LAB CONFIRMED FATIGUE WAS ROOT CAUSE. ALL MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS WERE WITHIN SPEC. NO EVIDENCE OF BALL JOINT OVERARTICULATION WAS APPARENT.

I HAVE THE ORIGINAL TIRES ON IT STILL. I DON'T OFF ROAD NOR DO I USE IT FOR COMMERCIAL USE. IN NOV 2011, WITH 19K MILES, I HAD THE LEFT TIE ROD REPLACED AS THE BALL JOINT PART WORE OUT AND WAS HANGING.

THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM AND IF THE TIE ROD BREAKS ALL STEERING CONTROL IS LOST. THIS IS MY ONLY "RELIABLE" VEHICLE TO GET TO WORK, GROCERY SHOP, ETC. NOW I AM JUST SUPPOSED TO RISK MY LIFE EACH DAY I DRIVE IT? THE DEALER (CHAPMAN DODGE OF LAS VEGAS) WAS NOT ABLE TO GIVE ME A DATE AS TO WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE IN TO FIX MY CAR OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. MY CO-WORKER ALREADY HAD HIS TIE ROD BREAK WHILE DRIVING ON HIS 2008 DODGE RAM 3500, LUCKILY HE HAD JUST COME TO A STOP OR WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. PLEASE GET DODGE TO DO THE RIGHT THINKING AND REPAIR THESE VEHICLES THAT THEY ALREADY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH. *TR

WE CALLED AGAIN TODAY (JANUARY 16), AND THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE PARTS. THE NEXT-CLOSEST DEALERSHIP (IN YUCCA VALLEY, CA) SAID IT WOULD BE AT LEAST A MONTH. WHEN WE CALLED DODGE, THEY SAID THAT DEALERSHIPS COULD ONLY ORDER ONE EACH WEEK, WHICH HAS NOW BEEN RAISED TO THREE EACH WEEK. THIS RECALL COVERS ALL DODGE TRUCKS MADE BETWEEN 2008 AND 2012.

THERE WAS A HORRIBLE DEATH WOBBLE IN THE FRONT END. THE TRUCK HAD TO BE BROUGHT ALMOST TO A COMPLETE STOP IN ORDER TO REMEDY THIS EVENT. THIS IS BEYOND UNSAFE.

MY FEAR IS NOT ONLY FOR MY FAMILY BUT FOR THE OTHER MOTORIST ON THE ROAD. WE HAD STOPPED DRIVING THE TRUCK UNLESS THERE IS A MAJOR NEED, YET WE CONTINUE TO MAKE OUR $850.00 A MONTH PAYMENTS FOR OUR YARD ORNAMENT, BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT WE AGREE TO DO.

ON JUNE 11, 2013 I WAS BACKING INTO MY GARAGE WHEN I LOST MY STEERING CAPABILITY FOR MY VEHICLE. I EXITED MY VEHICLE TO TRY AND DETERMINE WHAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THIS. I NOTICED THE TIE ROD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE HANGING DOWN TO THE GROUND. I HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST DODGE DEALER(ZIMMERMAN'S ENTERPRISES) IN SUNBURY PA. THE TIE ROD REPLACEMENT WAS COVERED UNDER A SAFETY RECALL AND WAS REPLACED THE FOLLOWING DAY. DUE TO THE TIE ROD BEING BAD IT CAUSED MY DRIVERS SIDE FRONT TIRE TO BECOME CUPPED AND DAMAGED. I ASKED THE SALES MANAGE AT ZIMMERMAN'S DODGE ABOUT THE FAULTY TIRE AND HE TOLD HE TO JUST ROTATE IT TO THE REAR. THE FOUR TIRES ON MY TRUCK WERE PURCHASED IN FEBRUARY. ALL FOUR TIRES WERE ROTATED IN MAY AFTER APPROX. 5,000 MILES. THE TIRE THAT WAS WORN OUT BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY TIE ROD WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION WHEN I QUESTIONED MY MECHANIC. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT MY OTHER 3 TIRES HAVE VERY LITTLE WEAR ON THEM COMPARED TO THE TIRE THAT WAS ON THE SIDE WITH THE FAULTY TIE ROD. MY CONCERN IS THAT MY VEHICLE WAS PLACED ON THE ROAD WITH AN UNSAFE TIRE. ALSO THE TIE ROD BEING FAULTY CAUSED MY TIRE TO WEAR ABNORMALLY AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED UNDER THE RECALL FOR THE TIE ROD. I UNDERSTAND THAT CHRYSLER DOES NOT HAVE A WARRANTY ON TIRES BUT THIS DEFECT WAS CAUSED DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT PART. *TR

VEHICLE BEGAN MAKING A HISSING NOISE IN THE AREA UNDER THE DASHBOARD ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. WHILE THE ENGINE SPEED WAS MAINTAINED ABOVE 1500 THERE ARE NO NOTICED DRIVABILITY ISSUES.

WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 35 MPH THE VEHICLE'S POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES FAILED WHILE ENTERING A TURN. TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT I WAS SURPRISINGLY REQUIRED TO USE EXCESSIVE FORCE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE STOMPING THE BRAKE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE. THE CAUSE IS A SMALL PLASTIC INSERT IN THE HYDRO ASSIST HOSE THAT BREAKS LOOSE AND THEN MOVES ALONG THE HOSE UNTIL IT GETS PRESSED INTO A 90 DEGREE ANGLE CUTTING OFF OR REDUCING THE FLUID FLOW. *TR

AFTER ACCELERATING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY ON-RAMP, THE VEHICLE WENT OVER SOME BUMPS THEN STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AT ABOUT 45 MPH. THERE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING AS THE TRUCK VIBRATED AND SHOOK ACROSS LANES, BUT I WAS ABLE TO SOMEHOW AVOID COLLISIONS WITH OTHER VEHICLES AND SAFELY PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY. AFTER STOPPING AND FINDING NOTHING WRONG, THE VEHICLE WAS SLOWLY ACCELERATED TO INTERSTATE SPEED AND DRIVEN ANOTHER 300 MILES TO DESTINATION WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. A FEW DAYS LATER, A TUCSON DODGE DEALER INSPECTED THE TRUCK AND FOUND TWO ISSUES. FIRST, THE FRONT STEERING DAMPER WAS FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE AND WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE SECOND ITEM, AN IMBALANCED FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL, WAS FOUND AND CORRECTED. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT RECURRED, BUT I AM EXTREMELY NERVOUS ABOUT THE EVENT REPEATING ITSELF, PARTICULARLY IF IT HAPPENS WHEN PULLING A 5TH WHEEL TRAILER. I AM NOT CONFIDENT THAT THE VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE VEHICLE AND LOSS OF STEERING WAS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE STEERING DAMPENER AND A SLIGHTLY OUT-OF-BALANCE FRONT WHEEL. THIS PROBLEM, AN APPARENTLY SOMEWHAT WIDESPREAD OCCURRENCE AMONG DODGE TRUCKS, HAS BEEN WIDELY REPORTED AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" THROUGHOUT THE PAST 8 YEARS OR SO.

I HAVE A 2010 DODGE 3500 HEAVY DUTY THAT STARTS WOBBLING FORM RIGHT TO LEFT AS I AM TRAVELING ALONG THE HIGHWAY AT ANY SPEED ABOVE 50 MPH WHENEVER THE TRUCK ENCOUNTERS AN UNEVEN SURFACE ALL OF A SUDDEN. A POT HOLE OR A BUMP IN THE ROAD WILL ALSO CAUSE IT TO START WOBBLING FROM THE FRONT LIKE CRAZY. THE DEALER STATES THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK, BUT THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT. *TR
