After buying new tire. I had an alignment done. in order to align the vehicle i was told the draglink was welded in solid and because of that it makes the steering wheel off center. It is a $500+ dollar fix with custom parts. I feel this could be a problem and safety issue.

recall number 19V021000 was performed to correct drag link jam nuts loosening. took truck in to get alignment done and the reapir shop wants to charge $700 dollars for replacement drag link because they cannot adjust draglink due to previous recall. this is unacceptable and should have never been a permeant fix and now forcing consumers to pay for something that should have been fixed the right way. i am suprised that a class action lawsuit hasnt been brought on by this

Signal to 5th wheel brakes failed then a light to service electronic brake system came on and the electronic stability control failed. I was on a grade and barely stopped with all 4 wheels smoking. Trailer was well under the factory weight for towing capacity. CHP and local sheriff stopped but didn’t make a report. If it had failed 100 yards later I probably wouldn’t be sending in this complaint alive and well. I truly believe it’s a RAM issue and needs to be resolved before other trucks have this issue. Dodge can’t get to the fix for a few weeks so I’m stuck without a vehicle
