2007 DODGE RAM 3500 Complaints

I LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AND NEARLY CRASHED. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. IT SEEMED AS IF A TIRE HAD BLOWN, BUT THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. I NOW AM TOLD THAT THE TIE RODS NEED TO BE REPLACED. DODGE AND TWO INDEPENDENT MECHANICS HAVE TOLD ME IT IS DUE TO "FAILED TIE RODS" NOT CONNECTED WITH CHRYSLER'S NOTIFICATION CODE H46. DODGE SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL NOTICE ON THIS ISSUE, AS IT APPEARS TO HAVE HAPPENED TO MANY OTHERS MANY TIMES, AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. IT IS REFERRED TO AS THE DODGE DEATH WOBBLE. *TR

EMISSIONS, CO SENSOR & CARBON FILTER 2007 DODGE DIESEL 6.7 L, APPARENTLY THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OF THESE GO THROUGH THE DEALERSHIPS IN UTAH, FIRST THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON THEN TAKE IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED, FIRST TIME IT WAS A CO DETECTOR SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN 2,000 MILES THE CARBON FILTER ON A DIESEL TRUCK. FIRST YEAR THAT THEY HAVE PUT THESE ON. IT CAUSES POOR FUEL ECONOMY. 11.5 MPG ON A DIESEL ENGINE THAT IS ENGINEERED TO BE FUEL EFFICIENT. THE REGENERATION SENSOR DID NOT KICK IT INTO REGENERATION TO BURN THE CARBON OFF THE FILTER THEY HAD TO REPLACE IT. COST $2200 FOR THE DEALERSHIP STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS WHAT THE EPA HAS MANDATED FOR DIESEL TRUCKS. SOME ONE HAD BETTER GET THIS RIGHT BECAUSE IT IS WASTING MORE FUEL AND CAUSING GREATER FAILURES ON THESE NEW DIESEL EXHAUST SYSTEMS. IF AFTER MARKET MANUFACTURES CAN PRODUCE EXHAUST SYSTEMS AND COMPUTER SOFTWARE THAT GIVES 22 MPG. THEN THE COMPANIES THAT PRODUCE THE TRUCKS CAN ALSO. 11.9 TO 22MPG IS ALMOST 90% INCREASE IN FUEL ECONOMY. WHO IS RIPPING US OFF THE EPA OR THE CAR COMPANIES. *TR

WE HAVE A DODGE RAM WITH THE DEATH WOBBLE IT HAS GOTTEN SO BAD WE ARE SCARED TO DRIVE IT STARTED HAPPENING AT 20,000MI. HAS GOTTEN WORSE AS TIME GOES ON . WAS HAPPENING AT 80 MI PER HR NOW IT CAN HAPPEN AT 50 MI PER HR. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED BUT INSTEAD DODGE IS MAKING MONEY ON IT PER IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX. PLEASE HELP NEED TO FIX IT BUT DONT HAVE THE MONEY RIGHT NOW TO DO SO. HAVENT HAD A ACCIDENT YET THANK GOD BUT HAVE COME SOOOOOOOO CLOSE .

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (65MPH OR GREATER) MY 2007 DODGE RAM 3500 WILL SUDDENLY BEGIN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AFTER AN UNEVEN SURFACE IN THE ROAD IS STRUCK. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF THE PAST 2 YEARS. THE ONLY "FIX" ACTION IS TO SLOW THE VEHICLE BY RELEASING THE GAS PEDAL AND APPLYING THE BRAKE. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT INSPECTED FOR A SAFETY RECALL INVOLVING THE STEERING AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO A SECOND DEALERSHIP AFTER THIS LAST EPISODE OF "DEATH WOBBLE" AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TIE RODS, AND STEERING DAMPENING SHOCK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THE DEALERSHIP IS IN THE PROCESS OF ORDERING THE PARTS TO REPLACE THE TIE RODS AND STEERING DAMPENING SHOCK. FOR INFORMATION PURPOSE, THE VEHICLE IS LOCATED IN GERMANY AND IS DRIVEN ON AUTOBAHN'S WITH HIGHWAY SPEEDS GREATER THAN THE U.S. *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW 2007 DODGE 3500 , THAT STARTED TO FAIL IN MANY AREAS OF THE VEHICLE, BEFORE THE 10,000 MILE MARK. FREEDOM DODGE HERE IN LEXINGTON KENTUCKY DELIBERATELY EXECUTED INSURANCE FRAUD TO BLAME CLUTCH FAILURE ON A MINOR COLLISION THAT NEVER BUSTED A LIGHT, RADIATOR, ETC. AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AFTER COLLISION. BEFORE THE ACCIDENT I NOTICED CLUTCH SLIPPING, TRUCK TIRES BEGAN TO WEAR AT AN EXTREME RATE, AND VIBRATIONS WAS BECOMING AN INCREASING PROBLEM. I THEN TOOK THE TRUCK TO FREEDOM DODGE WHERE THEY BLAMED ALL ON MINOR COLLISION, IN WHICH I TURNED TO GEICO FOR REIMBURSEMENT. GEICO FOUGHT DODGE ON THIS ISSUE, THEN FREEDOM DODGE WENT BACK ON THEIR PREVIOUS DOCUMENTATION AND BLAMED THE FAILURES ON ME, AND DOCUMENTED THAT. I HAVE DOCUMENTS OF THEM GOING BACK ON THEIR PREVIOUS DOCUMENTATION. I HAVE ALL DOCUMENTATION TO SUPPORT ALL, WHILE PAYING A HIGH PAYMENT FOR THIS SO CALLED "HEAVY DUTY" TRUCK, I WAS FORCED TO MAKE REPAIRS OR GIVE BACK. AFTER REPLACING CLUTCH THAT COST ME OVER $1600.00 THE OTHER PROBLEMS VISIBLY ARISING WAS TO MUCH TO TAKE FROM MY FAMILY TO PAY FOR. THIS TRUCK AND THE VOLUNTARY REPO PROCESS HAS DESTROYED MY GOOD CREDIT THAT I HAVE WORKED SO HARD TO PERFECT. THANKS TO DODGE/CHRYSLER MY FAMILY NOW SUFFERS FROM MY PURCHASE FROM FREEDOM DODGE. THE DELIBERATELY FALSIFIED COMPANY DOCUMENTS TO MAKE FINANCIAL GAIN, AND CONTINUE TO SELL THESE VEHICLES TO OTHERS, KNOWING FROM MANY OTHERS THESE TRUCKS ARE JUNK. THE MOTOR IS BUILT BY CUMMINS, NEVER HAD A PROBLEM FROM MOTOR, BUT ALL PARTS BEHIND TRUCKS ARE JUNK AND DESIGNED FOR FAILURE, TO INCREASE SALES IN THEIR SERVICE DEPT. MY FAMILY HAS DEARLY PAID FOR MY CHOICE TO BY A DODGE. DUE TO THE MANY RECALLS, THE LAST ONE BEING WITH RACK & PINION, RESULTING IN SPONTANEOUS CRASH, I WOULD NOT ALLOW MY FAMILY TO RIDE IN THIS TRUCK OUT OF FEAR FOR THEIR LIVES. MY WIFE WAS FURIOUS, BECAUSE I WAS FORCED TO DRIVE SUCH AN UNSAFE AND FAILED VEHICLE. THEY RUINED MY LIFE AND OUR CREDIT,WE DESERVE COMP. *TR

I ALSO EXPERIENCED THE HORRIBLE DEATH WOBBLE OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION AT A SPEED OF 65MPH. THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING OUT OF CONTROL AFTER I CROSSED OVER AN EXPANTION JOINT AT THE START OF A BRIDGE AND WAS INCREASING IN THE VELOCITY OF THE SHAKING . THE VEHICLE WAS UNCONTROLLABLE DURING THE WOBBLE I ALMOST LOST CONTROL. I REDUCED MY SPEED BY RELEASING THE GAS PEDAL WITHOUT APPLYING THE BREAKS AND IT SETTLED DOWN AT 30 MPH. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. *TR

VEHICLE BEGINS SHAKING VIOLENTLY CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL. I HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. NO MECHANICS OR DODGE SERVICE CENTERS KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I HAVE SPENT OVER $2000 TO HAVE THINGS REPLACED AND PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR SOLUTIONS. ALL I HAVE FOUND ARE OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM AN NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO FIX IT! *TR
