The front suspension has been an issue from what I have read for the Dodge Ram 1500. My tire fell off doing about 15 miles per hr. I just bought the vehicle 5 months ago used. Can some please help me with information to get this problem recalled and fixed before someone gets killed!

Do you drive a 2004 DODGE RAM?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
