STEERING HAS HORRIBLE VIBRATION AND WOBBLE AT 19 MPH. SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. HAVE ALREADY REPLACED TWO STEERING GEAR BOXES ON 2006 DODGE RAM 2500 DIESEL. STILL NOT FIXED. WITH RECENT NEWS ON DODGE RAMS; I AM SURPRISED THEY HAVE NOT LOOKED AT THIS MODEL YEARS AS WELL AS MANY MODEL YEARS ARE HAVING SAME ISSUE. BEGINNING TO BE NERVOUS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THE HISTORY OF THIS ISSUE WITH OTHER MODELS AND REALLY AFRAID THE SHAKING IS SO SERIOUS IT WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE A WRECK OR LOSS OF LIFE. THIS IS THE 3RD REPORT FROM ME ALREADY. ALSO TAKEN IT TO DODGE SERVICE CENTER AND THEY JUST PEERED UNDER THE TRUCK AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS GOOD. DIDN'T EVEN ATTEMPT TO TEST DRIVE AND SEE FOR THEMSELVES. I HAVE EVEN ATTEMPTED TO NOTIFY DODGE CORPORATE LAST YEAR WHEN IT STARTED AND NOT EVEN A RETURN CALL OR MESSAGE. FEEL TRAPPED AND LOST. PLEASE LOOK AT THESE MODEL YEARS AS WELL. ALREADY HAD RECALL H46 CONDUCTED AND THEY JUST TOLD ME IT WAS NOT A PROBLEM. NOW I HAVE ANOTHER RECALL N62 AND NEVER GOT A NOTICE FOR IT; JUST HAPPEN TO LOOK UP RECALL NOTICE. VIN IS 1D&KS28C36J214020 I THINK THIS STEERING IS MORE WIDESPREAD AND WOULD WANT FURTHER INVESTIGATION. I AM GOING TO TAKE DODGE IN FOR N62 AND R25 RECALL AND I BET THE DEALERSHIP WILL JUST PEEK AT IT AND TELL ME NOTHING IS NEEDED, AS ALWAYS. NO MORE TRUST IN DODGE, PLEASE HELP

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AT NORMAL SPEED OF 65 MPH IN THE NUMBER 2 LANE, MY VEHICLE STARTED TO DEVELOP A DANGEROUS STEERING WOBBLE SENSATION. THE WOBBLE WAS SO VIOLENT AND UNCONTROLLABLE THAT I FEARED FOR MY SAFETY. I LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND APPLIED THE BRAKES AS MY HANDS WERE BEING ALMOST PULLED OFF OF THE STEERING WHEEL FROM THE FORCE OF THE WHEEL BEING JERKED BACK AND FORTH AGAINST MY WILL. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK BACK UNDER CONTROL ONLY AFTER GETTING THE SPEED DOWN BELOW 40 MPH AND PULLING OVER. THE INCIDENT CAUSED AN AGGRAVATION TO AN EXISTING INJURY TO MY LEFT SHOULDER WHICH CAUSED ME GREAT PAIN FOR UP TO 1 WEEK. I INSPECTED THE VEHICLE THINKING I HAD RUN SOMETHING OVER OR SOMETHING HAD BROKEN FROM MY STEERING SYSTEM. BUT I FOUND NOTHING OUT OF PLACE. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT SET TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER ON FRIDAY JULY 31ST 2015 AT CERRITOS DODGE. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY TRUCK AND SCARED ME AND MY FAMILY WHILE DRIVING. MY TRUCK HAS ALWAYS MADE A "CLICK" NOISE WHILE TURNING AS WELL WITH NO ONE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE NOISE. I AM GETTING NERVOUS AND SCARED TO DRIVE MY TRUCK AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AT THIS POINT.

STARTED WITH TAIL LIGHTS ON RIGHT REAR SIDE NOT WORKING. REPLACED THE CIRCUIT BOARD FOR THE RIGHT REAR LIGHTS,REPLACED ALL THE BULBS ON THE CIRCUIT BOARD. STILL HAVING PROBLEMS, NOW THE RIGHT REAR TURN SIGNAL WON'T WORK. INTO THE SHOP AGAIN,NO SHORT IN WIRING HARNESS, TOOK THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH APART CLEANED ALL THE GREASE OFF EVERYTHING AND STILL NOT WORKING. A FRIEND TOKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP WHERE HE WORKS, HOOKED IT UP TO THERE DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER AND FOUND THAT THE TIPM NEEDS REPLACED FOR $1,000.00

MY VEHICLE IS LISTED AS HAVING DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS, HOWEVER THE ONLY INFORMATION I HAVE RECEIVED IS THAT THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENTS PARTS AVAILABLE. WHAT DO I DO?I DON'T HAVE EXACT DATE, ONLY KNOW I HAVEN'T BEEN CONTACTED BY A DODGE DEALER TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS.
