AT OR AROUND 55 TO 60 MILES PER HOUR WHEN HITTING A IRREGULARITY IN ROADWAY TRUCK WILL BOUNCE OUT OF CONTROL UNTIL I SLAM THE BRAKES AND SLOW DOWN TO 35 MILES PER HOUR . THE TRUCK IS COMPLETELY STOCK. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS THE TIRES. THESE ARE THE STOCK TIRES ON THE TRUCK AND THEY ARE IN GOOD SHAPE. I DO NOT FELL I SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE STOCK TIRES ON A NEW TRUCK TO STOP IT FROM SHIMMING WHEN OVER 55 MILE AN HOUR. THIS WAS A EXPENSIVE TRUCK AND I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN IT. I FEEL THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD STAND BEHIND IT. PLEASE GET BACK TO ME ON MY NEXT STEP. I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THE TRUCK AND THE SERVICE I HAVE RECEIVED. THIS IS NOT MY FIRST DODGE TRUCK. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK WITH MY 6 YR OLD SON THE STEERING SYSTEM FAILED. THE TRUCK LOST ALL CONTROL OF THE STEERING AND THE WHEELS LOCKED IN PLACE. THE LEFT TIE ROD FAILED, THE STEERING ARM JAMMED INTO THE LEFT WHEEL LOCKING THE WHEELS IN A TIGHT STEERING POSITION. CHRYSLER HAS NOT ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM OR ACTED IN RESPONSIBLE MANOR TO INFORM ME OF WHY OR HOW THIS HAPPENED. CHRYSLER DID REPLACE THE LEFT TIE ROD BUT REFUSED TO REPLACE THE RIGHT SIDE OR COMPENSATE ME FOR THE COST OF A NEW RIM. DUE TO THE FACT THE TIE ROD FAILED THE WHEEL WAS CRACKED BY THE STEERING ARM AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THIS IS A HEAVY DUTY TRUCK BUILT FOR AND USE FOR TOWING. FAILURE OF THIS COMPONENT UNDER LOAD OR AT A HIGHER SPEED WOULD BE CATASTROPHIC. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND THE AMERICAN PUBLIC. *TR

BOUGHT 2010 RAM 2500 DIESEL NEW AND HAD TO TAKE TO DEALER TO THIS POINT 5 TIMES FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE TRUCK HAS CURRENTLY 16,338 MILES AND IS RETURNING TO DEALER TOMORROW FOR ANOTHER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. EACH TIME THE LIGHT IS IN RELATION TO THE EMISSION SYSTEM. THE DEALER UNDER WARRANTY HAS CHANGED THE O2 SENSORS, CLEANED THE EGR VALVE AND STATES THEY MAY HAVE TO CHANGE THE O2 SENSOR CONTROLLER. I'VE ALSO POSTED ON THIS SITE ABOUT A MAJOR STEERING WOBBLE TO WHICH THE DEALER CHANGED A LOT OF FRONT STEERING COMPONENTS. THIS TRUCK DESIGN HAS A LOT OF HISTORY OF MAJOR DESIGN FLAWS. I'M STRONGLY CONSIDERING FILING A LEMON LAW SUIT. *TR

AFTER TURNING A CORNER ON A BLACK TOP ROAD, THE STEERING WENT COMPLETELY OUT AND THE WHEEL WOULD SPIN 360 WITH NO CONTROL. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES INVOLVED. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AND PARTIALLY INTO THE DITCH. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A BOLT WAS EITHER MISSING OR FELL OUT OF THE STEERING COLUMN.
