We own a 2007 ram 2500 mega cab vin [xxx] and a 2002 jeep liberty vin [xxx] that both have an outstanding recall on the air bag systems. We received the recall notices several months ago notifying us of the recall but that the parts are not available to make the repair.we understand that there is a massive settlement against fca regarding recall issues but neither of our vehicles are included in this.the liberty is my 17 year old daughters car that also had to have a hitch installed to avoid her vehicle from exploding in a rear impact collision.we do not feel that we should have to wait for repairs to a vehicle that is improperly manufactured and could cause injury to our daughter thru no fault of her own.the same can be said about the ram since it is used as a family vehicle for vacations and as my husband's daily driver. We would like to request that an investigation into either getting the recalls done immediately or including these vehicles in the current buy back settlement.we have owned several chrysler products over the last 20 years and am very disappointed in how the recent recalls have been handled.the recall notices seem completely useless if the parts are not available to make the required repairs.not driving our vehicles is not an option and selling a car with this type of outstanding recall is not feasible as it reduces the value.the jeep liberty is our highest priority in getting the needed repairs or including it in the buy back program as we are greatly concerned about our daughter's safety.thank you for your time and consideration.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

According to vin recall search in june 2015, there are 3, possible 4 "recall incompletes" on the truck, nhtsa recall #'s 09e001; 13v-528; 15v-313, and/or manufacturer recall #'s h46; n62: r25 respectfully, plus possible aftermarket pitman arm recall.no accidents or failuresdealer says manufacturer is only releasing limited amount of supplies per dealer and they cannot reorder till current stock is installed.dealer says they have to wait till others ahead of me have their work completed and they are having issues getting customers to make appointments.for some reason, i keep moving down the recall list instead of up the list.seems unreasonable to take so long for these recalls, some of which are 2 to 6 years old.

My son was working with the owner of the truck in n.c. Truck went off road hit tree both died my son was thrown out of truck and landed under the truck. Police said airbags did not work right but due to fire it was said to be inconclusive. There was also a dog in the back seat that got out with out injury . This is what leads me to think the airbags were not working if so my son and the other boy would of had a better chance to get out of the truck before the fire started. Please look into this matter it will not bring my son back but it may help someone else from losing a loved one! looking forward to a reply and any info on this matter. Thank you for your time. Your affected parts area will not allow me to leave in the parts (airbags) is the main one. ..updated 10/11/17 03/28/18

(safety) when using left turn signal, right signal blinks or none at all.i have had other motorist think i was turning right and go around me as i slow down to make my turn left .i think nhtsa need tolook into this !because motorist can be issued a ticket for improper lane change or an accident could occur.

The contact owns a 2007 dodge ram 2500.the consumer stated the problem started a year ago with the turbo, and the check engine light coming on. Also the accelerator would open up to full throttle without any control, unless he cut the engine off. At times the gas pedal would not move at all. The rear brakes locked up and the abs failed. The vehicle pulled to the right, due to the alignment being out of specification. The failure mileage was 12,000 and current mileage was 22,400.updated 04-28-09 the transmission would not go into overdrive. There were timeswhen the vehicle had to hunt for gears and the indicator would disappear on the dash. Updated 04/29/09.

I was on a on-ramp getting up to hey speed. Hit a little bump where the old and new asphalt join and the rear started to fishtail to the left andstarted to spin out hot that k-rail then went over it roiling about 30 feet from it. The air bags did not deploy nor did the seat belt lock.it was a bit foggy and the road surface was wet.

While driving on a remote road in az, several things on my vehicle suddenly activated all at the same time including horn honking, windshield wipers, hazard lights, dome light, and radio. This was extremely alarming but i was able to bring the vehicle safely to a stop and turn off the ignition. After turning the engine off, the vehicle not start again despite having plenty of battery power.fortunately, i had cell phone reception and was able to call aaa and get towed more than 80 miles.the repair shop diagnosed the problem as an issue with the totally integrated power module, which is roughly a $1,000 repair.i looked up this issue online and found that there are investigations into defects of this power module and that there have been recalls of some dodge vehicle models.i want to register this incident to reinforce what i feel is a dangerous situation when a vehicle can act like it is "possessed" while driving along a road.

Several issues we are dealing with. First, this is one that the dealership/service, can't even get right.the "check engine" light will not come off.they say it's because of the gas cap, but we are aware how to put the gas cap on.also,we noticed yesterday that our paint is bubbling up on the hood and roof.this is very annoying, since our truck only has approx. 13,500 miles on it.also, this morning the "electronic throttle control" light came on, and we are not sure what is causing this. We looked in our truck manual, and cannot find anything on it.

Headlights go out inadvertently sometimes blinking sometimes go out completely. This occurs when the vehicle is in motion moving straight ahead on a smooth road.

2nd time in 3 years power distribution module box caught on fire causing engine to die the keep running starter until we removed battery cables first time vehicle was parked. This time going down highway in traffic

Tipm is defective causing the air compressor not to engage. How do i know the airbags will work?

Headlights shut off while driving at random times at night causing complete inability to see on the freeway or back road where there are ditches and things to wreck. Severe safety issue that dealership cannot resolve with usual fixes. Many others have the same complaint about lights going out. This will cause deaths if i'm driving 80 mph on the freeway and suddenly can't see or people can't see me. I've tried everything to fix it with the dealer. It happens while driving at slow speeds and fast speeds and even parked. I've had the tipm replaced, rebuilt the cluster, removed all after market add on, brand new bulbs, checked for codes, repaired wiring shorts. None has fixed the problem.

The contact owns a 2007 dodge sprinter. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 75 mph her vehicle lost power and she was not able to drive over 60 mph the same failures listed in recall #07v594000 . Prior to this failure no warning signals were illuminated on the instrumental panel. At 11700 miles the right wheel baring and the drive shaft was replaced. At 38,000 miles the front left shaft and center baring was replaced. During repair the instrument panel was converted from miles to kilometers, when converted back the odometer read 12,000 miles less than what it had before. A short time after the egr valve blew along with a 450 amp fuse. All repairs have been at an authorized dealerships and they have been covered under the extended warranty at the owner's expense. The failure mileage was 17700 and the current mileage was 31,000. (sc) updated 6/16/08

The totally integrated control module went onmy truck causing the ac system to fail.this part can only be replaced by the dealer and is $1,100 per repair.this part is failing at an alarming rate and controls many functions on the ram 2500this is a widespread issue and should be a recall.

Driving on unfamiliar rural dirt road at night, switched to high beam to see upcoming intersection and all headlights went out. Stunned, i lost several critical seconds before i restored the low beams and locked up the brakes. Too late. Unable to turn safely, i left road, went down embankment through fence before stopping in pasture. Substantial front end and body damage to truck.

I was driving down the road, had just rounded a curve in the road when i started to smell something burning. The next thing i know there are flames starting to come out of the defrost vents by the windshield. I hurried up and pulled the truck off the road jumped out and ran across the street. There i proceeded to call 911. It took 20 or more minutes for the fire department to show up.

All of a sudden the windshield wipers and washer came on with out warning and blinded me right in the middle of a curve. Then engine quite and horn started blowing.i lost my steering and brakes. When i managed to get the truck stopped i was blocking one lane of traffic.raised hood and the electrical box with fuses was burning. I diconnected my battery to stop electric flow. I had just come off of highway wher i had been going 70 miles an hour.if i had been going that fast at the time of electrical problems it would been really bad as i had two other people with me. One a 90 year old motherinlaw.

The contact owns a 2007 dodge ram 2500. The contact stated that the copper wiring used in all four doors was faulty, which caused the door locks to malfunction and become unsecured.the vehicle was taken to jones ford wickenburg (555 e wickenburg way, wickenburg, az 85390, (844) 524-1981) where it was diagnosed that the wire harnesses needed to be repaired. In addition, while driving various speeds, a popping noise was heard from the front of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who replaced the upper and lower ball joints, wheel bearings, power steering gear box, pitman arm, and the steering stabilizer brace; however, the failure continued. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 178,000.

The contact owns a 2007 dodge ram 2500 sd. The contact was driving uphill at approximately 15 mph when the engine stalled without warning. The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer where they replaced the computer system module. The failure recurred the following day. The vehicle was in the process of being repaired a second time for the same defect. The approximate failure mileage was 119,000.

The turn signal switch constantly needs to be replaced because of a faulty contact plate that causes it to over heat. When this happens the turn signal works in the opposite direction you signal without warning. This is a huge safety concern and has caused traffic accidents from what i have found researching the problem. My truck tends to have the problem more frequently on cold mornings and after a rain.

2007 dodge 2500 4wd pickup truck.vehicle has internal antitheft system that includes a micor chip in each ignition key and a wireless control module (wcm) in the steering column.failure to use an ignition key with a properly coded chip results in vehicle not starting.problem is with the wcm in the steering column.without warning or any indication or previous problems, the wcm fails which prevents the vehicle from starting.in my case the truck was parked in parking lot for 5 minutes and upon return simply would not start.towed vehicle to dealer and the wcm was diagnosed and replaced.research shows that the wcm in multiple different chrysler vehicles has been reported by thousands of owners to have faulted requiring repair.although wcm is replaced it often fails again. Chrysler service bulletin states that the cause of failure is the result if a static electric discharge that occurs when the driver inserts the key into the ignition and often occurs during cold dry days when static buildup is prevalent.the static charge causes the wcm to permanently fail and require replacement.failures have also been reported with new wcm within days of replacement.although chrysler makes repairs, if the vehicle is out of warranty the owner must pay for parts labor and often towing.since the wcm has an obvious problem and commonly fails as a result of a natural occurrence, it is obvious that the wcm component is of faulty design and should be redesigned and hardened against failure.althoughchrysler clearly states they are aware of problem and know the cause they refuse to make design corrections and thereby make thousands of dollars by providing thousands of repairs annually for a recurring problem that should be fixed through uses of a redesigned part.research also reveals that the failure of the wcm can occur while the vehicle is on motion causing the engine to shut down.this results in loss of braking ability which could result in a crash.

I noticed the turn signal indicator was flashing to fast. After inspection it was determined that the rear turn signals and the rear brake lights were not working at all. After a diagnostic ($55) it was determined to be the tipm (total integrated power module). This is basically the whole fuse box. This is a $1000 dollar repair, and is such a common problem that the part is on a three week back order from dodge. Upon further research it seems to me that this has happened to hundreds (or more) 2006-9 dodge rams. Owners have experienced a myriad of issues with the vehicles lights (turn signals, brake, headlamps) as well as other random electrical issues. I believe this to be a serious safety issue and would appreciate your help in getting dodge to address this issue.

The tipm (total integrated power module) failed while the vehicle was being driven.the vehicle lost steering control, and braking control when the tipm failed to work.the engine died, while in motion, causing a very dangerous situation.in researching the tipm issues, i have found that there have been several recalls and a class action lawsuit against chrysler for tipm failures. When i contacted the dodge customer service center on october 19, 2015, i was told that since the vehicle was out of warranty, they were no longer responsible for the vehicle.the customer service representative stated that he was unaware there was an issue with the tipm module.this is an outrage that dodge wont even acknowledge the issue, or attempt to make it right with consumers who experience issues with the module.it is very unfortunate that someone will have to be hurt or killed before chrysler will be held responsible for their known faulty parts.the issue with this part is that it runs all of the major electrical components of the vehicle, and its failure can occur while the vehicle is in motion, which happened when my wife and 9 year old son were driving down the street.once this part fails, there is no other option than to replace it, and without the tipm, the vehicle is inoperable.hopefully chrysler / dodge will realize the error of their ways, and recall all of these faulty units before someone is hurt.

The tail gate is hard to open and hard to close. I have to keep pulling on the handle to try and get thelatch mechanism to work. Usually takes 5 or so try's before the tailgate will open, close or stay closed.

The contact turned on the emergency lights and coasted the vehicle over to the side of the road. The contact depressed the brake pedal, but it failed to stop the vehicle. The contact shifted into first gear and was able to stop the vehicle. An independent mechanic arrived at the scene and diagnosed that the water pump failed. The mechanic also stated that the bearing caused the serpentine belt to detach. The serpentine belt needed to be replaced. The independent mechanic replaced the water pump and the serpentine belt. The contact took the defective water pump to albany chrysler dodge jeep ram (located at 2315 santiam hwy se, albany, or 97322, (541) 967-9105). The contact was informed that the water pump was defective and the design was different. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 25,426. *asconsumer stated the narrative on this form describes the 2nd failed water pump at 87k miles. The first water pumpfailed at 25k . At this low of miles, this vehicle is on the 3rd water pump. Is there a design flaw? three water pumps in 87k miles is just not normal. It is extremely dangerous when steering and brakes fail when driving in traffic at highway speeds.

Vehicle intermittently and randomly shuts off at speed or stationary.has happened numerous times at busy intersections and on highway.power steering and braking power is lost.

Body.rust starting around the top of both rear wheel wellsengine ,water leaks from the water pump,not all the time ,but you never know when.usually after driving interstate for a couple hours

I stopped in a shopping center and shut off the engine. After a short while i tried to start the engine and it would not turn over, it was completely silent. After a short while i was able to restart it. The dodge people in tucson said nothing was wrong or they could not find any problem. After much research i discovered in old data online there was a bulletin covering "no engine crank or no engine start due to electronic lock-up of the wcm/skreem". This has occurred periodically about every six months requiring me to remove the iod fuse with the key out of the ignition switch waiting thirty seconds and re-installing the iod fuse.

On august 20, 2013, i pulled over my vehicle to let my dog jump in the river. After shutting off the engine and exiting the vehicle for approximately 20 min, the vehicle spontaneously caught fire in the engine compartment and completely burned my vehicle to the ground.

Exhaust fumes entering the cab via the heater-a/c fresh air intake.does not do this when the "recirculation" mode is used. I've had an independent shop and three different dodge dealershops check for the problem. The first three shops could find nothing wrong. The last shop saidthere was a small leak in the egr valve assembly. I had dealership shop (lithia dodge of roseburg,or)replace the egr valve/cooler assembly (at a cost of$1,068.84). This did not cure or reduce theproblem. My feeling is since this is an intermittent problem, it may have something to do with thesmog system-most likely the diesel particulate filter operation. I do know that i'm not the onlyperson having this year diesel truck problem. Is there a cure??? also, the truck does not have anyblack smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe. I have always used the correct oil and fuel in this vehicle.all updates are current according to dodge dealer.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 33,492.

The contact owns a 2007 dodge ram 2500. While driving approximately 35 mph, the engine warning indicator remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer ten times and the computerized system was reprogrammed on each occasion. The dealer stated that the exhaust particulate filter would need to be replaced. However, the part needed was no longer being produced. The contact mentioned that the complete exhaust system required replacement due to the exhaust particulate filter not being available to service the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired.

There has not yet been an accident but i received a notice in the mail saying that the dash silencer pad in my truck may sag and contact the exhaust gas recirculation cooler, and that it may cause the silencer pad to locally overheat and cause an under hood fire without warning. I called the dealer where i purchased the truck and they told me that they would have to order more parts and that they could have it buy the middle for the following week. It is now saturday of the following week and now i am told that chrysler is only allowing 5 support brackets a week and that they won't be able to install for at least two weeks. Now this is supposed to be a safety issue that could potentially cause an under hood fire. I work construction and have to travel for work, i have a 34 foot 5th wheel that i, my wife and two children live in so we can be where ever the job requires. So what happens when this occurs and me and my family are pulling the 5th wheel down the highway and without warning my engine compartment catches fire, with plenty of air blowing in to fuel a fire surrounded by high pressure fuel lines? how much does it cost to replace the life of myself, my wife, my 4 year old son or my 9 month old daughter?

Extreme safety hazard - vehicle is dangerous!!!we purchased a 2007 dodge diesel 6.7 liter engine megacab truck 14 months ago, and almost immediately the check engine light began showing on the error message board, along with messages about the particulate filter.we have brought the vehicle in for repairs at least 5 times since then with two total replacements of the pollution control system.the last one took over three weeks apparently because the parts were on backorder.we only put 250 miles on the truck since that time, and were driving over a high mountain pass (7000 feet elevation), when catastrophic failure occurred.i was driving down the pass and my foot was on the accelerator when the engine totally cut out.i was going about 50 miles per hour and only had a few seconds to brake hard before the brakes and steering failed to respond.no warning lights or error messages were showing on the dashboard.it was only because we were near a deep gravelly/sandy shoulder area that the truck stopped.we had the truck towed to the nearest dodge dealer in missoula, mt (litia).their mechanics say they do not find anything wrong.i have informed them that we will pursue the lemon law buy back from chrysler on this vehicle.an internet search shows that this is a problem that is happening around the nation.please expedite this report to inform people of the very dangerous situation with these vehicles and make chrysler recall them before fatalities add up!!!!!!

The contact owned a 2007 dodge ram 2500.while driving 45 mph, the check engine light illuminated.the contact took the vehicle to the dealer and they stated that the particulate filter was causing the failure.the technician cleaned the filter; however, the check engine light illuminated again a few weeks later.he took the vehicle to the dealer a second time for a computer upgrade that would clear all the codes in the vehicle.the engine light illuminated for the third time and the dealer stated that the vehicle was under a recall, in which they repaired the vehicle for free.the engine light illuminated for the fourth time a month later and the vehicle was returned to the dealer.they performed a second computer upgrade and also replaced the turbo.the engine light illuminated for the fifth time and the dealer replaced a valve and upgraded the vehicle again.at that time, the contact began researching the lemon law.the check engine light illuminated for the sixth and seventh time a month later.after the eighth failure, the dealer offered the contact a new vehicle.the contact now owns a 2008 dodge ram 2500.within the first month of driving the vehicle, the check engine light illuminated.he took the vehicle to the dealer and they performed a computer upgrade.two weeks prior to the upgrade, the check engine light illuminated again.the engine light illuminated for the third time two weeks after the upgrade.the vehicle is currently at the dealer.all the repairs were performed under warranty.the failure mileage was 500 and current mileage was 1,906.

My 2007 2500 4x4 diesel 6.7 has been a headache since the beginning . It has stalled several times the check engine light comes on for a short while then goes off . But the other day i was in a tight situation, when i stepped on the accelerator hard , a car pulled in front of me i immoderately stepped on thebrake , and northing was there , it wet all the way down to the floor then after a second or two it startedjumping as the anti lock brakes started to work,this was a close one i couldn't of slide my wallet between my truck and the car that pulled out in front of me . This truck also has the worse ride on concrete freeway paving . It bounces in a un stable, most irritating way ,on asphalt freeway it is very smooth, until you hit a bump and it shimmy's in a un safe felling like it could loose control, i am happy with the power of the motor when its got a full load going up hill. With that exception this is the worst over priced truck i've ever owned , ill never buy dodge again.

03 dodge ram, 2500 quad cab, 5.7 hemi engine, auto transmission. Truck had done this since new in december of 2002, 6 to 10 times. Engine would start to shake, shaking the entire truck mostly at start up and/or at idle. Would shutkey off and restart would be fine. Driving back from indianapolis 4/11/07 truck started shaking violently. Drove for less than a minute, pulled off to the side of road and truck died, would not restart. Towed to a rochester indiana dodge dealer. This was what the rochester dealership told me over 3 weeks.spark packs were corroded and split replaced. Compression low in cylinder 5 and no compression in cylinder 8. Found broken valve springs in cylinders 5 and 8. Note: many truck forum web sites noted that dodge was aware of this in many early 03 models. In hind site it, explains a lot. Lot of carbon in the throttle body. Catalytic converter replaced, replaced pcm, replaced heads, replaced intake manifold. Picked truck up on 5/2/07. The dealer said truck running a little rough because of the additive added to the gas to clean carbon. Said to be sure to fill the tank, this was done. Driving back home to michigan truck ran very rough. No engine light was on. Taken truck to dealer where purchased. Service manager said sounded as if it had a miss, asked if engine light was on, i answered no. He took it for a test drive and said that engine light came on before he got it out of the building. My dodge dealer told me cylinder #7 is dead. Will have to remove the head to see what is going on. My dealer said that the rochester dealership had forgotten to the rocker arms over the push rods. Got the truck back and it seemed to be ok. After driving for about a week and feeling uneasy about it, i traded. The saving grace to all of this was just the fact i had bought the extended warranty and it was covered.

Had truck for 4 years , only put 42000 miles on it . Took it in to dealer for emissions problems three times , did egr /cooler /turbo / dpf " cleaning " x2 ,also upgraded ecm program /burned up and replaced, while attempting , finale straw was between 35k-42k miles ,developed"death wobble " at highway speeds , took to dealer after i trouble shoot it , "was not the steering stabilizer shock" tie rod end at steering box was worn out ." non greasable " 40000 miles . Dealer said there was a "bulletin out " they replaced all steering linkage "tierod ends + rods " , then claimed it on the extended warranty , i paid the deductible / called dodge , then traded off the truck for a ford . Loved the dodge truck / cummins eng.hate dodge service , i manage a 30 truck fleet , we had 10 dodge's , now will have less in the future.

I like others have had my new truck in the dealership more than on the road. I have had my 2007 ram 2500 6.7 in the dealer for seven visits to solve problems with the dpf and emission ck engine light codes. The last was on 9/22 and when i picked up on 9/23 i was told two more tsb-technical service bulletins have come out over night and i would have to bring the truck back for the parts ordered for these tsb's. Mt. Clemens dodge has been very helpful but dodge can't seem to come up with a solution for the problem. I'm very disappointed in the fact that i've purchased a new vehicle and so many unresolved problems.

I have had my dodge ram 2500 in the shop 9 times for the engine light, they have reset it and still do not know what is causing the problem. I have had my truck in the shop more than i have had it available to drive.

Sent to california new motor vehicle board i have owned the vehicle for 183 days as of this letter. It has been in the shop and had r.o.'s open for a total of 64 days. This equates to roughly 35% of my owership time.dodge has not been able to resolve the problems in a reasonable time. Although their are "x" number of ro's regarding the repairs. It is imperitive to understand that i brought the truck back into the dealership while the ro was open as the failure occured again and again. On two occasions the vehicle was in the service aisle dripping from being freshly washed and ready for pickup, as i started the truck the cel came on (check engine light). I have a new truck that has yet to perform the way it was intended. I have been patient, the people at hemet chrysler have been wonderful. However, i am done.the major problem with the truck is the turbo/engine brake system. It has only performed properly for about the first 800-900 miles of ownership. The real issue is when the engine brake would come on whenever it wanted to! doesn't sound too bad, but when your sitting at a 2 way stop waiting for traffic to clear, and then you proceed across the street thinking you have enough time only to find out the engine brake has engaged and you are now wondering if you should abandon the vehicle and run because you could make faster on your feet! after 10-15 episodes it was suggested that i stop the vehicle and turn the engine off, wait 30 seconds and restart the truck whenever this happened. Not real practical but ok! next issue same situation; except i am on the freeway traveling 65-70 with the cruise control on, the engine brake comes on and now i am concerned i will be rear ended. There are numerous incidents of safety and functionality. I went to get the truck from the dealership and as i started it the cel came on again. After i left i tried the engine brake and guess what....it no longer works at all!!! this letter was edited down to 2000 characters.

The contact owns a 2007 dodge ram 2500. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle the odor of diesel fuel was present inside the cabin which had caused respiratory problems for the driver. The contact indicated that the odor was more present while the engine was idling. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer lenoir city chrysler (1206 east broadway, lenoir city, tn.) who replaced the bolts on the egr cooler but the failure continued to occur. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 35,000.

My 2007 dodge ram blew a tipm a/c unit. I was told by the dealer it was because the air conditioner compressor clutch locked up and burned out the tipm. My extended warranty was denied.i paid $1500.00 to get this fixed this week. The other day i was driving to work and my truck started vibrating and completely stopped in the middle of a very busy road. It was towed to the dealer where i was told it had a foreign substance in the diesel fuel. It smelled like paint thinner. The warranty rep said it was caused by dirt in my fuel tank caused by not changing my fuel filter frequently. Now they tell me it needs 6 fuel injectors and a fuel pump total cost $8000.00. By the dealer and warranty rep. The truck has 67000 miles.they said this is not warranty issue and will not be covered.

I own a 2007 dodge diesel that has a recurring problem with the emission system.it is a common problem that they can't seem to fix.the vehicle meets the lemon law needs but dodge refuses to call me about this.the vehicle has been in the dealership several times.it has had the turbo replaced twice and the computer reprogrammed 3 times.also a couple cleanings for the turbo.

The contact owns a 2007 dodge ram 2500.while driving 65 mph the service engine warning light illuminated on the instrument control panel, and then the vehicle stalled.the vehicle was towed to a chrysler dealer and a technician concluded that the particute filter on the exhaust failed needed to be replaced.

We own a 2007 dodge ram 2500 6.7 liter diesel 4 x4 truck, bought with 7311 miles and a full warranty.we bought in january 2008.it has numerous issues that make me literally vomit when i have to drive it.we have had 6 repairs to this vehicle since june 2008 for emission/turbo/wiring/transmission issues.i do not feel safe in this truck and the dealership says they have "fixed" it everytime.a vehicle that loses engine and transmission power on the highway is not a safe means of transportation.they always tell me it is "being taken care of by dodge recall/computer flashes, but this truck has been a nightmare since we bought it.our first issue began in april 2008 with a constant engine warning light blaring at us all the time.the dealer told us it "just something these trucks do".it could be one of 200 small things, keep driving it, it's ok.vehicle began stalling and hesitating on me in traffic, i felt it was unsafe and took it to dealership.the first of many 02 sensor recall/replacement/cleanings.it lost power again in august 2008 and i had to be towed in.another 02/turbo issue.again in october 2008 lost power, ditto for repairs.next time it broke down was february 20090.ditto for turbo/emission.most recently was july 2009.engine and transmission stalled out on me pulling onto a busy highway.....twice in one week. Dealer couldn't duplicate issue with computer, finally decided it was probably a wiring issue and replaced a harness.i have told the service dept that this vehicle is not safe, and i have complained to chrysler.they tell me it is repaired and that is all they can do.i need help getting this vehicle off of the road. The dealer and chrysler don't seem to think the safety of my children is very important.i hope somebody in your department does.does it take a death or serious accident to have these issues evaluated?

I purchased a 2007 ram 2500 diesel on dec. 31, 2007.it has been in the dealer 9 times for a check engine light and the problem is still unresolved.i am currently dealing with impartial services group on a buyback which has been a nightmare.if there is a place to file a complaint against them i'd sure like to know about it.

Still having sooting problem now dealer is guessing on part replacement. Have replaced one sensor at my cost. This did not get rid of code po471. After waiting 10 days for return call from dealer they want me to replace another sensor but they are not sure if that will correct problem. Senor costs $140.00.

2007 dodgeram 2500 w/ 6.7 diesel has major problem with exhaust system, a dpf (diesel particulate filter) clogs up in as early as 2500 miles and clogs continuously if vehicle is not (driven like you stole it) as suggested to me by dealer, this problem increases exhaust temps, and causes vehicle to cut out and hesitate on take offs and requires constant repair at the dealer, there are aftermarket parts to fix problem but it is recommended for offroad use only.but many of my friends have made the changes and have had no further problems.

Within two weeks of purchasing the 2007 dodge ram 2500 slt reg w/ turbo, (delivery date of 07/12/07) the check engine light came on.the dealership we purchased from said not to worry about it unless it came on permanently. On 07/27/07, took truck in for left speaker issue & check engine, they just cleared the codes for the check engine light.took back 08/27/07, engine code p254a, cleaned sensor.called dealer 09/15/07, "check engine' light back on for longer than 3 days, they said not to worry about it as long as the light was not flashing or staying on.called them 09/27/07, took truck back 10/03/07, check engine light codes p2262, they performed carbon clearing procedure.took truck back on 10/08/07, they did not make note of check engine code on work order, but they wrote turbo assy. Failure, replaced and cleared code.on 11/30/07, check engine light on again, performed emissions recall and sensor and reprogram ecm. During 12/07 thru 01/08, check engine light still remained on most of the time, but was extremely busy working plowing snow and could not take back until 02/01/08, engine code p1451. They did "flash ecm as per tsb.by this time thoroughly upset with truck, manufacturer, etc. Engine light remained on again 03/08 through 06/08. On 07/03/08 took back again, engine code p2262 and p2000. They performed computer update.again light on almost from onset of last visit.on 08/19/08, engine light, code p2000, they performed flash update to engine control.picked up truck on 08/19/08, and check engine light came on 08/21/08. They could not get truck in until today 08/25/08. Truck still there tonight as the code came up that stated they needed to once again clean and they could not get it done today. (note: they did not tell me over the phone what code came up, just that they had to clean the turbo.we, my dad and i and my mom have lost considerable money in lost work time in having to take truck for repair, let alone the inconvenience of it all!

2007 dodge ram 2500. Consumer requests reimbursement for repairs concerning diesel fuel and engine *tgwthe consumer stated while driving, he began to smell diesel fuel.he then noticed the fuel gauge started going down. Smoke starting emitting from under the hood, so he quickly pulled over to the next rest stop area.the consumer raised the hood and discovered fuel all over the engine, under the truck and on the travel trailer he was pulling.the truck was taken to a mechanic where he diagnosed the problem as the #4 injector line which was leaking.

The contact owns a 2007 dodge ram 2500. The contact was driving approximately 30 mph on normal road conditions. The engine stalled without warning. The engine failed to restart.

While driving 2007 dodge ram 2500 mega cab 5.9l i6 cummins diesel noticed smoke emitting from rear of vehicle, stopped vehicle and discovered fuel running out of vehicle below engine compartment. The #4 cylinder fuel injector line from the common rail was cracked and spraying fuel over the engine and soaking hood and firewall insulation as well as electrical connections and exhaust. The retention bracket for this line had become loose due to vibration which lead to the line cracking. As a result of my experience with this issue i have discovered that this is a seemingly inherent problem with these vehicles, more so in the 2006 and 2007 model years, that chrysler is aware of but has done nothing about. At the very least, a tsb should have been issued to inform owners of this dangerous situation that can lead to loss of traction and potential fire resulting in injury or death.

Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)allen samuels dodge in waco declined to fix my dodge ram 2500with 39,000 mi.they said at one time or another that there was water in my diesel.that is all they had to come up with to not have to pay for the problem with warrenty.i have 100,000 mi. Warrenty on drivetrain, which is really no good if you can't use it.i think dodge should not be able to advertise on tv for 100,000 mi. Warrenty when they know they can get out of warrenting the vehicle.that is a bull [xxx]line not to pay.this cost me 4,322.91.they said they had to replace all 6 injectors to fix my problem.started out replacing 2, but that was not going to fix the problem.so that is how they got to replacing all 6 injectors.tried to call and work with dodge chrysler assistance program.only talked to women about my 5.9 diesel engine.the women assigned my case worker to me named ryan.he never once contacted me about the problem.guess they are well trained to do a bad job.

Turbo went out soon after i bought it had about 5000 miles that was under warranty. Always have to regenerate. In june computer crashedin july the clutch goes out now the turbo has gone out again and reading about could be a bad dpf that dodge knows about. The truck has only 119000 miles i bought it new paid alot of money for it .

X $3.85) = $130.90.if they have an up fit kit, wouldn't that suggest dodge has knowledge of this problem?wouldn't that amount to a recall if the original equipment was sub-par and needed to be repaired with a heavier version?i think so!

The contact owns a 2007 dodge ram 2500 quad st (na). While driving approximately 50 mph, the check engine light illuminated on the instrument panel and power was lost to the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who could not duplicate the failure. The contact stated that the light illuminated again and the vehicle was taken back to the dealer. The dealer stated that the #5 fuel injector was defective; it was replaced. The failure occurred again december 2010. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who stated that the #6 fuel injector was also defective. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 48,000 and the current mileage was approximately 54,000.

All of a sudden my brakes failed could not steer correctly and i lost control of the truck slamming into an oncoming vehicle.it felt like i was steering to go straight and the steering wheel just turned on its own.now i have a $2800 bill to pay the body shop and i need to get my steering box replaced.i would like help with that.and most important i need these recalls done once i get my truck out of the body shop. My only request is that when i bring it in to the dealer i would like them to also fix my steering box at no charge.

My wife was driving the vehicle down hwy 29 in lake county and started hearing a noise from under the vehicle only when driving she pulled over and couldn't see the problem so she continued driving till she could get to my place of employment where i could climb under the vehicle and inspect it where i found that the shield on the fuel tank had broke and was flopping on the drive shaft wearing a grove in it. I had to tear off the flimsy metal until i could have it replaced . I purchased the new piece from dodge that was incredibly heavier duty than the original, i was told by dodge that there was a recall for fuel tank shields but my truck wasn't included in the recall, even though my truck clearly had the same part this could of damaged the fuel tank causing a fuel leak .hoblit dodge in woodland ca. Installed the new shield and wouldn't do anything about the part or the labor,neither would lithia dodge of santa rosa ca.i have retained the old shield for proof as well as the bills to buy and replace it.

Driving through town, clear weather, good road conditions, luckily going only 25 mph, there was a grinding noise up front for two seconds then, all of a sudden, the front wheels locked up and the tires skidded approximately 5 feet.the engine remained running, the transmission shifted fine but the front wheels were locked and the truck would not move!the truck had to be dragged onto the tow truck.the dodge dealership has deemed this a wear and tear incident, which i completely disagree with.had i been going at highway speed, i am convinced i would have lost control and/or much more damage would have been done.they want $1,800 for this repair!i just had the driveline serviced 6,000 miles prior to this! and before that at 60,000 miles.i keep my truck maintained to the book.it cannot be normal wear and tear!this truck is pampered and not used commercially nor never under extreme conditions above and beyond towing a 7500 pound camper.they are essentially rebuilding the front differential!i'm almost afraid to continue driving it.i especially worry for my wife and teenage son if something this severe and abrupt should occur while they are driving it in the future!

2000 miles ago as i was driving down the freeway the truck began to pull to the right and handled as if there was some broken linkage or steering box was failing. After inspecting and not finding anything wrong, i continued my trek home and couldn't comfortably go above 30 mph, it almost felt like half of the front axle was locked in 4wd. Searched online and saw that seized rear brake calipers are not uncommon so i replaced the rotors, calipers, and pads. Made several short trips and thought it was resolved. During a 1 hour drive the problem returned and i was unable to control vehicle and stopped to inspect. The brakes were not hot but the rear axle was binding badly, i limped the truck home, afraid to drive it again. As i have been doing research on the problem, the internet forums revealed many peoples stories about dodge ram axles "locking/seizing" while driving down the freeway causing accidents and roll-overs. Just thought you might want to look into it. Thanks, signed an immaculately cared for and broken dodge ram :( update 9/15/15*cwafter replacing the rear calipers, pads and rotors the problem persisted. Pulled rear differential cover and inspected ring gear, pinion, spider gears and bearings. Everything is good. Finally after replacing all the rear brakes lines the problem was solved. Updated 09/29.15

Updated from previous version.driving through town, clear weather, good road conditions, luckily going only 25 mph, there was a grinding noise up front for two seconds then, all of a sudden, the front wheels locked up and the tires skidded approximately 5 feet. The engine remained running, the transmission shifted fine but the front wheels were locked and the truck would not move! the truck had to be dragged onto the tow truck. The dodge dealership has deemed this a wear and tear incident, which i completely disagree with. Had i been going at highway speed, i am convinced i would have lost control and/or much more damage would have been done. The ring and pinion gear got so hot, they welded together, which caused the axle to seize and the wheels to lock up.replacing the ring and pinion will cost $1,150.i also need a differential overhaul at a cost of $1,500.the grand repair total will be in the neighborhood of $2,650!when has there ever been a wear and tear repair that would cost that much?since when do wear and tear items get so hot that they weld themselves to each other? i just had the driveline serviced 6,000 miles prior to this! and before that at 60,000 miles. I keep my truck maintained to the book. It cannot be normal wear and tear! this truck is pampered and not used commercially nor never under extreme conditions above and beyond towing a 7500 pound camper. I'm afraid to continue driving it. I especially worry for my wife and teenage son if something this severe and abrupt should occur while they are driving it in the future! i feel like it will only be a matter of time before the rear differential does the same thing! something faulty had to occur either through defective materials or incorrect maintenance procedures performed by the dealership when i had the driveline serviced. But it's my word against theirs, impossible to prove.

I was traveling a very curvy road to get to my destination.time to get to destination was about 30 minutes.once i got there, i parked, and got out of my 2007 dodge ram 2500 truck.the left rear wheel was smoking like it was on fire.the right rear wheel was smoking as well, but not as bad.this was the first time i'd seen this problem.i thought maybe i had been on the brakes too much going down the curvy road.i took the truck to the dodge dealership service department to get it checked out.i was told my brakes were fine, that i had about 50% brake pad still left on the rear brakes.i told the service manager about the enormous amount of smoke i had when i parked the truck.they investigated and came back to tell me the rear seals were gone on the truck allowing the fluid to get on the brake pads.they said the fluid on the brakes pads was getting hot and this was causing the smoke.they also stated that i should not drive the truck with the rear seals gone because it could potentially cause me to have a fire.the truck only has 70,000 miles on it and the service rep told me it was not normal for the rear seals to fail like these have.the rear seals are not covered under any warranty and there is no recall, that i could find.the dealership wants $500.00 to replace the seals and the brake pads since they got wet.this is unsafe condition because of the potential for a fire caused by the rear seal failure.this failure should be investigated and dodge recall and replace faulty rear seals for the consumers.

I have a 2007 dodge ram 2500 diesel 5.7.the engine caught fire on 10/31 for no apparent reason. We had noticed a funny noise in the engine but had taken it to the dodge dealer and they did not find anything wrong with it. The day of the fire the check engine light came on and it started accelerating itself like if you had the vehicle on neutral but were hitting the gas petal all the way.then my husband pulled over and while he was looking at the engine to see what was the problem sparks started coming out and then the entire engine caught fire and the my truck was deemed a total loss. I purchase it new in june 2007, there is no reason for this. We did regular maintenance on it.

The contact owns a 2007 dodge ram 2500. While driving at various speeds, the vehicle experienced severe shaking on the front end and would lose steering control. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to diagnose the failure. Also, the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the gear box needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.

Vehicle cuts often without any indication that anything is wrong.it does it any speed and there is no power steering, no brakes.this happened the first time at freeway speed and nearly caused a rear end collision because of the sudden and nearly uncontrollable stop.

The shift mechanism on the steering column for the transmission will shift into reverse without warning when putting transmission in drive park while the engine is running.transmission shift detent does not keep the transmission in reverse but can unexpectedly shift into neutral from the reverse position.

Reference the below complaint, and others: date complaint filed: 03/02/2015component(s): power train , suspension date of incident: 10/01/2014 nhtsa id number: 10691476driving approximately 50 mph on winding two lane country road, while executing curve to right, after passing over a slight bump in the road, front suspension entered what is commonly called a " death wobble". Steering quickly became ineffective, braking was diminished due to loss of firm contact between front tires and road surface. Wobble is regenerative in that it continues to get worse until vehicle speed is reduced to 15-20 mph. I was unable to precisely control direction of travel, crossing into oncoming lane before reducing speed enough to regain control. Vehicle shakes so bad as to dislodge items from the dash and console pockets. This event repeated several times at a particular spot on my way to work, where there was an irregularity in the roadway on a straight section of paved two lane road. Behavior was the same as described above. The last even was while pulling a twenty two foot trailer on a major interstate, while negotiating a right hand curve on a down hill merge lane at freeway speed of approximately 60-65 mph. Again i was unable to maintain my lane of travel and a crash would have resulted if any other traffic had been near me! definitely a safety issue! local dealership assured me a new steering damper would cure the problem. (it didn't) i eventually fixed the problem myself by researching what other owners had done online (there is a lot of info on this issue!), and replacing the pitman arm, drag link, tiered, and adding a steering shaft stiffening brace.the drag link, tiered and tiered ends were a mopar part kit.much heavier construction than the original part.response to a known issue? this issue makes the truck nearly un drivable.

The contact owns a 2007 dodge ram 2500.the contact stated that the automatic transmission decelerated as he downshifted between fifth and four gear.while driving 42 mph, the transmission appeared to disengage when shifted into neutral and the vehicle coasted when he released the brake pedal.he stated that the transmission automatically re-engaged at 30 mph.when manually shifting from first to fifth gear, the transmission operates normally, however, it fails to function automatically.he took the vehicle to the dealer for it to be test driven.the dealer acknowledged the failure and advised him to call nhtsa.the current and failure mileages were 3,855.updated 12-12-07.when the consumer lifted his foot off of the accelerator to slow down, the transmission downshifted and decelerated the consumer stated it felt as though the vehicle was free-wheeling.updated

I have owned this truck from day one. 2007 ram 2500 4x4 quad cab 5.9. 50,000 miles. Truck has been pulling to the right for a while. I took vehicle in for alignment at dealership. They set it to specs. Brought it back about 40 days later to realign, still pulling to the right. Service advisor said that i needed to buy an offset ball joint in order for them to get more adjustment and to correct alignment at a cost of $622.00. Said that this is common problem. I called & emailed dodge/chrysler asking why i would have to buy a part to correct a stock factory item. They called dealership to verify problem and told me what the dealership said it needed and that was all. Consumer shouldn't have to buy aftermarket parts to fix a stock item.

Vehicle intermittently and randomly shuts off at speed or stationary.has happened numerous times at busy intersections and on highway.power steering and braking power is lost.

Between 65 mph and 75 mph, there is a "speed wobble" which in april 2015 caused the right front tire to explode and shred (damaging the right front wheel well and ripping out the abs harness).feb 2016 this "speed wobble" which has been present since purchase (sept 2014) has finally caused the steering box to be faulty through the rapid back and forth action of the pitman arm via lower steering linkage.thus causing the steering box to rapidly leak fluid which reduces power steering capability to zero, and causes hydro-assist braking to have zero functionality.if the power steering fluid reservoir is not filled every 30 min of drive-time, all functionality of the power steering and hydro-assist braking is lost.this "speed wobble" is a known issue with the style of steering linkage that is installed oem on 2003-2008 ram 2500/3500 my's, which is neither acceptable nor sustainable.

Violent shake in front end after going over bridgetires bouncing no control had to slow down to 25 mph to stop it changed shocks stopped problem for a few months but kept coming back its called the"death wobble".

The contact owns a 2007 dodge ram 2500. The contact stated that both the front driver and passenger side brakes would smoke excessively. The first time the failure occurred, the contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was told that the calibers would seize and create the smoking. The calibers were replaced but the failure persisted. The dealer then replaced the rotors but the repair did not correct the problem. The vehicle had not been taken back to the dealer.the failure mileage was 120,000 and the current mileage was 122,000.

My 2007 2500 4x4 diesel 6.7 has been a headache since the beginning . It has stalled several times the check engine light comes on for a short while then goes off . But the other day i was in a tight situation, when i stepped on the accelerator hard , a car pulled in front of me i immoderately stepped on thebreak , and northing was there , it wet all the way down to the floor then after a second or two it startedjumping as the anti lock brakes started to work,this was a close one i couldn't of slide my wallet between my truck and the car that pulled out in front of me . This truck also has the worse ride on concrete freeway paving . It bounces in a un stable, most irritating way ,on asphalt freeway it is very smooth, until you hit a bump and it shimmy's in a un safe felling like it could loose control, i am happy with the power of the motor when its got a full load going up hill. With that exception this is the worst over priced truck i've ever owned , ill never buy dodge again.

Driving on the expressway going about 65 mph, as i crossed over the expansion joints on a bridge the truck started shaking violently. It did not quit until i pulled over and stopped. I tried to continue to work and everytime i hit a bump it would shake violently even at 40 mph. If there would have been someone beside me at the time of the occurrence there would have been a serious crash.

On march 12 we were returning from skiing, driving down the highway at 60 mph when the left front tie rod broke on our 2007 ram 2500.my husband was able to slow the truck down and pull off to the side of the road.we had the truck towed to the mechanic where the left front tie rod was replaced, as well as the upper and lower ball joints.when dodge had the recall on this part we took the truck in and were told that the recall was only on the replacement parts that had been put on for the broken tie rod and that they would not reimburse us for the cost of fixing the original tie rod that broke.the dodge dealership supposedly changed out the replacement tie rod.my concern with the recall is: if the original tie rod wasn't defective dodge wouldn't be replacing so many replacements.why were we not reimbursed for the original equipment that was obviously defective?

The contact owns a 2007 dodge ram 2500. While driving at 55 mph, the steering wheel became loose. The contact had to steer in excess in order to turn the vehicle.

There was a safety recall on my dodge pickup - safety recall number n62 / nhtsa 13v-528.the recall notice was for a left tie rod and issued in january 2014.reported calls to multiple dodge dealerships have not been productive since they all repeatedly state that they do not have the parts for the repair.my truck's front end now shakes and makes a loud noise as well as the steering wanders and is not safe.i have no alternative but to take the truck to a private shop to get the truck fixed as it is a severe safety hazard and is unsafe to drive and i need to use the vehicle as it is my only mode of transportation.they stated that they will not reimburse me for the work and were not amenable to travel a few miles to drive the vehicle to experience the issues, for which they still don't have parts to fix.calls to dealerships and to dodge have not proved fruitful; they don't care about consumer safety or inconveniences.i want to be repaid for the work that is to be performed to make the vehicle safe again.

Safety recall n62 - left tie rod ball studi've been told the parts are still unavailable after i've called every 1-2 months since july 1, 2014.on february 1, 2015 it will have been six months since i've requested resolve in this matter through:hurley chrysler jeep dodge ram2173 south woodland blvd.,deland,fl 32720sales:(888) 736-6912service:(888) 736-6914parts:(888) 737-5717currently, i'm developing vibration in my steering and am concerned something dangerous may be developing.are these parts even manufactured any longer?any update would be appreciated.thank you.

Truck wonders all over road driving straight down road and the worst part id this truck only has 86.000 original miles!the factory steering box is garbage and in 2009 they upgraded these steering boxes cause they knew the original steering box was trash...its scary to drive this truck with oncoming traffic

During highway driving 60mph my truck developed "death wobble" the steering wheel was shaking violently side to side, i was unable to gain control until the truck was below 15mph. This happened several occasions thereafter anywhere from 40-65mph. I took the truck to the dealership, which determined everything was fine as far as recall concerns go, i explained that there was something wrong weather it was recall or not, and i wish to have it fixed.they expressed the truck was fine and refused to look further into it. There was a recall on the front end steering linkage which they also stated was not a problem. The "death wobble" returned on several occasions until from 12-4-17 toabout 2-10-2017 when it caused me to leave the road pulling a trailer nearly crashing into a bridge support. After giving up on the dealer i investigated myself and found that the front end traction bar link was bad, this allowed the axle to move side to side. With the steering mounted to the frame, and the axle moving this caused the steering drag link to violently push/pull on the steering causing the potential deadly condition essentially the steering was steering left and right without my control. After replacing the traction bar and front end linkage the truck performed as it should with no further issues, this is a problem that is extremely common among ram owners of 2002-20010 trucks. Check out "dodge ram death wobble" on youtube it is a problem that dodge ignores, and when reported isn't aware on how to fix. It occurred on all road types and usually started at a bump or pot hole. Here's a link of many with the exact same problem. Https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnxs7x55d9c&feature=youtu.be

Death wobble that's resistant to repair.

The contact owns a 2007 dodge ram 2500. The contact stated that the steering would intermittently become locked when driving at various speeds.

I currently operate a 2007 dodge ram 2500 4x4 that experiences the "death wobble".when traveling +60mph and hit a bump/pothole/overpass the vehicle will begin to shake violently until stopping in the emergency lane.this happened for the first time at 52,300 miles and continues to occur.the vehicle is owned and operated by the federal government.the vehicle has been taken to a mechanic and could find nothing wrong with the equipment.it would be wise for dodge, ntsb, and nhtsa to issue a recall for this vehicle.it would not take much for a severe accident to occur.i experienced the wobble while traveling 70 mph on the interstate with a semi on my right and one behind me.it was very difficult to navigate to the emergency lane without striking a truck.a recall or part that needs replacing would help the +45 complaints repair the vehicle.this is not safe and demonstrates negligence on dodge, nhtsa and ntsb.

My 2007 dodge ram 2500 passenger side tie rod end broke while driving down the road.the tie rod then went through the sidewall of the tire, flattening it and cocking the tire to the outside.making me lose control of the vehicle.dodge has a recall on the other end of the tie rod and was not willing to do anything about my situation.they offer an update kit that i had to pay for.in talking to my mechanic and local parts house mine is not the first situation of this kind.this is a very dangerous problem and is something that needs to be taken care of.

Recall notice n62/nhtsa 13v-528 left tie rod end may break while driving causing lose of steering and may result in accident??wow now you would think dodge would make this a priority to get fixed?? so i have emailed dodge several times about getting this fixed always same answer do not have parts, been to local dealer doing the same, got the same answer no parts to fix vehicle??? well lucky it broke on my street turning truck around to back in my driveway,steering linkage pushed into my left tire 6" so side wall belts are now broke but it was also causing my new tires to wear out faster on front of truck even after alignments done, so after a year my truck is still not fixed and is sitting at hall jeep/ dodge and no fix for it due to no parts available. So no i am less my truck and need to borrow a vehicle just to got to work, i find this a huge problem not only should i have a rental vehicle that matches my vehicle but want two new front tire now also why cant they get the parts i can order all parts needed right now online or go pickup locally and get my truck repaired but getting my money back for repairs will be a huge issue because after market parts?? really be better parts in my eyes being i would get heavy duty parts for replacement parts so no more front end issues i am done with dodge and trying to get a truck fixed that should have been done months ago with no hassle period!!oh and to top it all off the dealer gives me number to dodge roadside assistance to tow my truck to dealer less than a 1/4 mile form my house they want to charge me $73.00 for the tow?? um your recall issue and your tow problem i am not paying a dime being you cant get parts to fix my truck and when its now broke and has no steering dodge want me to pay for a tow bill ya ok good luck on that too...really wish could up load pictures its a site to see linkage stuck in my tire....

I was driving south on hwy146 in baytown,tx. I struck a small pot hole and thats when the so called death wobble occured, had to brake and avoid striking other vehicles. This is the second time this occured within a week. There needs to be a recall before someone dies.

Going down the highway at 55-60 and you come across a bridge landing you encounter an uncontrollable shaking in the drivers wheel and the truck wants to go all over the road and you must slam your brakes on to regain control over the whole truck. The mechanic told me the trac bar ruined my ball joints and wheel bearings he has seen alot of these dodges have this issue. And in his opinion they should be recalled this bill is going to costme over $1500 mainly in just parts alone.

We received a notice in the mail regarding a national recall on our vehicle.we had the vehicle inspected by our local dodge dealer and were told we would be called when the parts come in.to date (over 1 month now) we have not gotten this recall part fixed, nor have we heard anything from the dealer.appx 2 weeks ago we made a follow up phone call to the dealer and were told that parts had still not arrived as there was a shortage of parts available.what in the hell could be taking the company so long to resolve this issue.in the recall letter it specifically states that :this could cause a loss of directional control and/or crash without warning.we have two small children.should any accident occur as a result of this issue i will personally sue the [xxx] out of whomever is and whomever is even moderately close to being responsible for the defects of this truck.

I purchased a used 2007 dodge ram 2500 4x4 5.9 liter diesel with 52,523 miles from a dealer on 1/18/10. The truck has no prior damage or repairs per carfax and the dealer info. I am experiencing front end harmonic wheel hop and shake at highway speeds of approx 50-70mph. This wheel shake occurs whenever the truck runs over an irregular road surface,pothole or bridge to road drop.i have researched on line forums and have read numerous complaints by other dodge truck owners which are experiencing this same condition known as a "death wobble".i took the truck in to a dodge dealer who performed a dodge recall. They replaced the pitman arm and lower link as prescribed.unfortunately this did not repair the problem at all.the truck still has this condition and i have experienced an unsafe driving condition due to this front in harmonic steering fault.

If we hit a small defect in the road, the truck begins shaking violently and becomes hard to steer until we have significantly reduced speed. This happens on any road surface and has occurred on interstate hi-ways at legal speeds of 80 mph before., fortunately in light traffic that day.this could cause a severe accident if it happens at the wrong time and place. Problems was at first occasional and has become much more frequent. We use this truck to haul aheavy, loaded horse trailer. Or did, but now don't feel safe doing so.

This government vehicle has been deemed 'unsafe' to drive due to the affected unavailable parts. I have checked with the dealership to see if the parts can be brought from another location, to no avail.this vehicle has been 'out of service' for months while we wait for the part. It is our only longbed truck and used heavily during the current fire season.it is necessary to get this vehicle back in service and feel this is an unacceptable length of time to wait.

Was driving on us 119 in wv traveling at about 65 mph and ran over one of the expansions joints on the roadway.front end of the truck immediately started shaking and wobbling out of control,having to slow down to around 10 or 15 mph to gain control back. Had owned the truck for a few months with no problems until then.i have had garages to tell me to replace this and that to fix problem, being told that dodge was aware of the problem.as of this date i have had nothing done that has fixed problem,it is somewhat better as long as you stay under around 50 mph or so.the truck has done it approximately 15 to 20 times since then,having to slow down almost completely to get control of truck.since having gone thru this problem,ihave read and talked to people about having the same problem with the same model of truck and have found out that i am not alone with this concern about my truck.

There has been no failure, but i am frustrated to be waiting so long for recall n62/nhtsa 13v-528.dodge can't give me a time frame when the replacement parts will be available.this is dangerous!

Front end started to shake out of control after hitting a bump on the freeway.also known as death wobble. Happened three times now. The shaking is so violent luckily no cars where around or i would have hit them.

Driving down the road at 65 mph pulling and the right tie rod came apart and we headed into oncoming traffic.we were able to pull over without an accident.the dodge dealer told us that the left tie rod in trucks of our same year and model were under recall, but not ours.we had to repair it on our own.the left tie rod is now bad on ours but lucky we were told about it during a tire rotation.dodge says that our truck isn't covered even though the same year and model trucks are.

My truck violently shakes when you hit a bump at approx. 55 mph or greater. It also wanders and is very tough to steer when the vibration starts. It seems to be consistent to thousand of other complaints bye ram 2500 owners i have read about online and watched videos regarding there "dodge death wobble" nightmares with the trucks. I recently consulted with the dealer and they offer a steering linkage "upgrade kit" for approx. $1200 installed. From what i have researched is the kit doesn't always fix the problem.i have a 2007 dodge ram 2500 with only 55,000 miles on it that i will not drive over 55 mph. It terrifies me when it shutters so bad. I cannot believe a $45,000 truck new priced is undriveable over 50 mph due to the ungodly shaking. I don't know how this has escaped recall with millions of owners complaining and making you tube videos and posting on forums about the "dodge death wobble." its so unbelievable that i paid over 30k for a truck and it only has 50,000 miles on it and cant be driven over 50 mph!! please look at some of the "dodge death wobble" videos on you tube and tell me how that cant be safety issue.

We were pulling the horse trailer we hit a pot hole and the truck went into a death wobble .the steering wheel just shook and the tires felt like they were going to come offthe whole truck just shook. This was a danger to us and others. For you had to almost come to a stop on the freeway. I have read pages and blogs on this same problems on dodge trucks .somebody is going to die before dodge fixes this problem.

I believe that my truck should be covered under chrysler safety recall no. L16when driving approximately 60 miles per hour or more, my truck has a vibration in the front end. I have taken it to different shops and have replaced the wheel hub and had the tires rotated and balanced. This has not solved the problem. Yesterday when i took the truck in to get an alignment done, the shop owner told me that they did not want to align it because there was a problem with the tie rod end. He did some research and found that under chrysler safety recall no. L16, it states "model year 2003-2008 dodge ram 2500/3500 vehicles may have received the affected tie rod assembly as a replacement part during normal service". I believe that my truck falls under this category. I asked a local chrysler dealership to run the vin number for my truck to see if it was covered under chrysler safety recall no. L16. They said no, it was not. I believe that considering the circumstances that my truck should be covered under this recall. Please advise.

I purchased a used 2007 dodge power wagon from a small dealership in may of 2011. I have been a loyale dodge owner for many years and don't know why. Upon test driving this truck before the purchase i felt a shake in the front end. I spoke with the privious owner who indicated the tires were the issue. I took a chance a bought the truck "as is" with no warranty implied. I have researsed the dodge "death wobble" because i knew it would just be a matter of time before i experience it. I was right. I knew that replacing parts was not the answer after reading many complaints on the web. Like a dummy, i took it in to a couple different places. I called the dealer and asked if there was a "fix" and they did not know of any. My research took me to a well known heavy duty truck shop. I told him about this issue and he was very convinsing that they could repair it. This tech/owner knew more about this problem then dodge. Again, i took the chance i spent over $650.00. He had issued me a tsb from dodge that stated replacing all 4 tie rods and doing a special allignment would cure it. Nope! since the purchace i have replace all 4 tires, steering dampner shock, all 4 tie rods, and numerious tire ballancing and allignments. I feel like an idiot. I'm doing exactly what i said i would'nt, spend big money for a known saftey issue from dodge! my complaint is the very known "death wobble". I should have wrote when i went through dodges transmission problems. I'm a hard working, tax paying, family man who pays his bills and so on... Yes, it does boil down to getting personal. Consumers are taking the hit for so many thing. If i were to do something that was right i would do everything i could to make it right. Dodge needs to wake up and realize they have a huge saftey issue that could end many lives! please read/reserch these may complaints and make it right for the people.

At highway speeds when you hit a bump in the road the front steering of the truck starts a violent shaking commonly known as the death wobble. This does not allow you to steer or control the vehicle until you slow down to 30mph. I have been ran off the road several time when this occurred, thankfully i did not hit another vehicle. Dodge is aware of the faulty design and will sell the redesigned parts to eliminate the issue for about $600. They will not warranty it unless it is installed by them. If you want "under warranty" truck repaired to fix their faulty design you will have to pay for parts and labor, about $1500 total. This is a very dangerous problem. There are several videos on youtube that show how it happens and the "death wobble" in action, search "dodge ram death wobble". Thanks.

First incident occurred while traveling south on i15 while towing a 28 foot travel trailer, with my wife and children, that i had pulled several times previously with no issues. We drove over a rough patch of the interstate, and the truck began to shake violently. Thinking that the trailer lost a tire, i fought the steering to get the truck to the shoulder. Once stopped, i went immediately to the trailer and found no problems, i then crawled under the truck and found no problems. We continued on our way, not knowing what happened, and didn't have another occurrence for awhile. Another occurrence happened on i84 while traveling west between bliss and mountain home, with my two children in the car, again traveling the speed limit, and as the truck crossed an expansion joint. At that time, other than the violent steering shake, it felt like the truck was bucking, like the rear tires were coming off the ground. It has happened once or twice since then, same scenario, freeway expansion joints cause the shake to start, pulling over and slowing down to 20-30 mph gets it to stop. I had researched the problem online and found it was a fairly common problem, that dodge won't take responsibility for. I took the truck to the dealer i purchased the truck from and asked them to check it out before the warranty ran out. They told me there wasn't anything wrong, but they could install "upgraded" steering components for $1000. I then emailed dodge, with no resolve. Now, on july 12th, 2013, while traveling east with three friends, on either i86 or i15 towards jackson, wy, the shake occurred 3 times in an hour! needless to say, we all lost confidence in the safety of the truck for the rest of the trip. Each time in occurred, it was a rough spot, or transition on the freeway. Every bump we all held our breath, the trip home, we went a different way to avoid as much freeway as possible.

When traveling down the road and come across a bump,lift, or dip in the road the truck will violently shake. I took a road trip to florida recently and i experienced the death wobble at 90 mph, it made me cross into the next lane then into the median. Talking about scary!i have researched this on the internet a lot and it appears the be called the "death wobble". I am very concerned with the fact that dodge has not issued a recall for this. Why? plenty of people have the problem! its obviously a flaw in the dodge design not being able to support the weight of the cummins diesel. I have looked into getting this 08 steering upgrade but the dealer wants $975 to fix it and can not guarantee that it will fix it.

I purchased a 2007 dodge ram 2500in december 2010 from royal gate dodge in ellisville, mo.the vehicle had a "death wobble" and the sales rep. Recommended changing the linkage to the updated version that was available.they gave it to me free as long as i installed it on the truck.i did at approx. 73,000 miles.now, 13 months later and 27,000 miles on the replaced linkage, my left outer tie rod sheared off while turning a corning at around 15mph.since i took the linkage and installed it myself, it only has a 12 month warranty.if they installed it,would have been covered.as sad as their business practices are, i am writing regarding your investigation/recall on the 2500/3500 newer trucks with the same issue.i would like to make you aware of the issue that these defective parts can be interchanged on older vehicles, like mine.i have ordered the replacement moog tie rod and will be installing it as soon as it comes in and feel lucky i was at low speeds.

While driving the vehicle at approximately 50mph, and after hitting a bump/pothole in the roadway, the vehicle began to shake violently, nearly causing a collision.the vehicle is still under extended warranty and was diagnosed by putnam dodge in burlingame as needing the steering stabilizer replaced.on 1/12/12, i replaced the stabilizer and had the alignment checked, and again the violent shaking occurred at approximately 50 mph.once the shaking starts it is very difficult to control the vehicle,the only way to get it to stop is to brake dramatically.in one instance, i was on an overpass and narrowly avoided a collision.

Usually after brake application the wobbling stops. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the technicians could not identify the cause of the failure. The technician added that the "death wobble" was a consistent failure with his model type. The vehicle was taken to another dealer, and a temporary repair was made. The manufacturer was notified, but they would not confirm that the failure exists with this model type. The failure mileage was 12,000. The current mileage was 17,000.

While towing our 27ft montana fifth wheel, i crossed over a cattle guard and got a very violent vibration in the steering wheel. I had to come to a stop to make quit. I found out from my mechanic it's called the dodge death wobble. Chrysler corp. Will do nothing about it, even though it happens to thousands of people who drive dodge trucks.

Vehicle went into a severe wobble. Not a shimmy or shake but a wobble to a point that the tires lost contact with blacktop. After numerous trips to dealer and filing complaints with both chrysler and ntsb i found that all was in vain. I was relegated to keeping the vehicle under 55 mph so driving the freeways in calif was avoided as much as possible.i could not afford another vehicle so i was stuck with the ram.after an incident on a two lane rd around july of 2014 (wobble in a curve found me in the oncoming lane of traffic)i did as much research as possible thus finding that many were experiencing the same problem.there were recalls and bulletins as found out by my local mechanic regarding this very problem.$900.00 and change later the problem was finally fixed. The pitman arm was at the wrong angle which put undo stress on the bushings for tie rod and drag link. This created wear thus loosening the entire steering system.dodge let this problem persist knowing that the loss of control was a certainty...look at the recalls and bulletins. I don't really care about the buy back i feel i should be reimbursed for the repair..## vin passed ## dodge ram 2500 4x4 2007 ##...updated 08/06/15 the consumer stated the pitman arm issue was from a bulletin from dodge. The angel on the stock pitman arm needed to be replaced with a pitman arm that was at a different angle. Thus leveling the tie rod and drag link. The consumer's mechanic believed the stress on the bushings of the bad angle of the pitman is what degraded the bushings and loosened the steering system resulting in the wobble.

The contact owns a 2007 dodge ram 2500. The contact was driving 5 mph when the pitman arms on the front axle fractured. The vehicle was towed to a mechanic who informed her that the entire front end would need replacing. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted in regards to the failure. The failure mileage was 133,919.

I was driving to town (approx. 4 miles) when i hit 50 mph. The truck began to shake violently after hitting a minor irregularity in the road. I then slowed to approx. 30 mph to make it go away. Though it has only happened to me twice i began looking on the internet and found a plethera of info on the notorious "dodge death shake" this problem is in every vehicle forum i have visited and cannot believe you have done nothing about it.all the stories are the same and most do not trust there vehicle anymore. There is a laundry list of fixes but there are conflicting results. Dodge claims it is the front stabilizer, but i have changed it and after it happened again.i am very disappointed in the fact that i paid 30,000 for a truck i cannot trust.i would hope you do not continue to sit on your hands in this matter because it is plastered all over the internet and even a news story about it in north carolina. Please, do something! i have been an automotive mechanic for over 20 years and this is a real problem.

The contact owns a 2007 dodge ram 2500. The contact stated that he attempted to have his vehicle repaired under nhtsa campaign number: 13v528000 (steering) but was informed that the parts were not available and the dealers were receiving one part per week. The contact felt that since the failure was reported in november of 2013, there should be a remedy available before february of 2014. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable time for repair.there are no failures at this time.

The contact owns a 2007 dodge ram 2500. The contact received a notification of nhtsa campaign number: 13v528000 (steering) and stated that the part needed was unavailable to service the vehicle. The dealer was unable to provide an expected date for the part was to become available. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.

The contact owns a 2007 dodge ram 2500. The contact stated that while driving 75 mph, the vehicle started to shake violently and exhibited a loud, abnormal noise. In addition, the steering wheel became uncontrollable. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was advised to the contact that the steering linkage bar was fractured and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired under nhtsa campaign number: 13v528000 (steering) however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not further repaired. The failure mileage was 125,000 and the current mileage was 200,000.

I own a 2007 dodge ram 2500 that has 65,000 miles on it with 4 wheel drive and a 5.7l gas engine. I was traveling home on interstate 5 n/b a few miles north of lost hills ca about 2130 hrs. I set my cruise control for 78 mph and a few minutes later hit a minor bump in the road. My vehicle began to shake violently and i braked but the wobble did not cease until i was going about 25 mph. I pulled to the shoulder and inspected the tires, wheels, steering components and suspension components. There was nothing visibly wrong so i resumed my trip and reactivated my cruise control. A few moments later my vehicle again shook violently. I limped home at much slower speeds with no more problems. The dealer inspected my truck and i pointed out to them a tsb that covered the situation. The dealer discovered .030 inch play in a tie rod end. My extended warranty is through vehicle one and they sent an inspector to the dealership who declined the repair since the tsb issued by dodge allows for a maximum allowable movement of .045 inch. During the second incident i was not able to safely steer my truck and ended up halfway into the adjoining lane before i was able to regain control of the vehicle. This would have caused an accident if there had been a vehicle next to me.i am now stuck driving this vehicle or paying nearly $2000 to repair it myself. Dodge has replaced the original unsafe steering linkage with a newly designed one that is not supposed to be subject to this unsafe condition. The real issue here is that dodges tsb for this problem is too restrictive and will allow my extended warranty not to cover the repair. If the tsb required the components to be replaced any time the condition is present then my warranty would cover the repair. This problem is referred to on the internet as the "ram death wobble". Please help this condition is widespread and dangerous.

The contact owns a 2007 dodge ram 2500. While the contact was driving approximately 65-70 mph, the vehicle began to shake violently. The speed rate was reduced to 40 mph and the failure would stop. The failure occurred at any speed above 55 mph. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the steering stabilizer shock was replaced. The failure continued after the repair. The contact was in the process of taking the vehicle back to the dealer for the second time pertaining to the prior identical failure. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.

In 2007 i purchased a new dodge ram big horn 4x4 cummings diesel.i pull a 2-horse bumper pull trailer about 12 times a yr,haul a few things in bed, truck has light use.being a career mechanic i am particular about maintenance,truck is garaged,1/2015 only has 38,000 mi.took to dealership in 2013 for tie rod end recall,told me all was ok, no parts needed.during a 300 mi.round trip pulling trailer/horses 10/13,i noticed some wandering,upon return took to dealership for check and tire rotation which was also due.immediately noticed wandering was worse going home,took back again,they rotated tires again(probably back how they were),added wheel weight,still wandering,tired taking in with no results.new tires oct 2013,ruled out tire problem as cause.noticed wander more with trailer.for peace of mind took back 1 more time before horse trip oct.2014,told all ok even thou still wandering.started weaving also during trip,felt uncomfortable about stability there and back.a few wks ago taking to dealership for oil change/weaving check,while on local paved road truck pulled sharply to right,pass.mirror smashed into sign,$530 bill.lucky i kept truck on road!right away took to front end shop,didn't feel confident with dealership.they found front end parts worn,needed replacement,tie rod ends,track bar bushings,drag link and ball joints!on a 38,000 mile well maintained truck that didn't haul or pull heavy loads!ridiculous!search found thousands of complaints for this issue,many people put in dangerous life threatening situations,people may have died from this failure.main cause seems the engine is too heavy for weak inferior parts with poor design.dodge takes no responsibility and ignores issue while consumers pay millions in repairs and unknowingly risk their lives.dodge needs to recall these dangerous vehicles!fixes are there but should not be at consumers expense!

Dodge 2007, model 2500 turbo diesel crew cab, with approximately 20,500 miles. At 55 mph, a sudden bump caused by a freeway expansion joint resulted in severe steering wheel shaking with front end of truck going out of control. I regained control through gentle braking. Initially i believed the issue to be with the road, however, fifteen minutes later at 55 mph, and hitting a hard bump the steering violently shook again, while the front end jumped up and down and left and right. I lost control of the truck exiting the paved surface and came to rest in the barrow pit. Both incidents were on paved freeway (interstate 215 and interstate 80 in utah). I'm lucky to be alive narrowly as i narrowly misseda tractor trailor. I had just purchased this truck from henry day ford of west valley city, utah. They certified the used truck with a full inspection of the steering system. Apparently, a known issue with a "recall" for steering linkage (safety recall h46-mopar steering linkage). Recall was complied with during september 2009. Problem obviously still exists even after recall compliance.

I own a 2007 dodge 2500 mega cab and have now experienced the so called dodge "death-wobble" on 3 separate occasions in the last 2 months.traveling at highway speeds whether a smooth road or if i hit a small pothole the truck begins shaking violently and does not stop until speed is reduced significantly (under 30 mph).i have researched the issue via the web and have seen a news report of this happening to others with the newer models of the dodge ram series.i currently have the vehicle scheduled for inspection (2 dec 09) with the dealer for possible repairs but wanted to submit a complaint as i believe this is happening to many other motorists as reported by wsoc in charlotte nc.i only knew of contacting the nhtsa because of the news report i found.this reoccuring situation if not corrected is a safety issue which if not corrected is an "extreme" danger to all motorists on the road.

Nov. 2012i bought my 2007 dodge ram truck 2500 for $21,000soon after, we realized it had some front end problems.i took it for a front end alignment the following month - which did not improve the front end steering looseness,vibration and "clunking".i took it into a large, local tire/ front end service business for an evaluation.the first thing they told me is what everyone was telling me, " these dodge trucks are known for bad front ends".they did however, then tell me that the truck would need almost $1,000 worth of work to make it right.i did not have them do the repairs because i could not afford it,i had been told by so many that this was normal for dodge trucks and i thought i should get another opinion later.the truck has three open safety recalls on it.i took it to our local dodge dealership so the service writer could look at the front end (came out to the parking lot and looked at it) she said that it did need steering recall repairs.i asked that parts be ordered for that, plus airbag for the third recall.she said she didn't have any parts, "the manufacturer only sends us a few parts a month so whoever is on the top of the list will get a call when the parts are available".i left my name/number.when i bought the truck it had 64,650 miles and now, three years later only 67,900.i drive it only locally because i don't trust it, the steering is unpredictable, loose, clunky and has too much play in the wheel. When getting up to 50 mph or so, it vibrates also.i want this truck to be included in the chrysler/dodge buy back plan or the class action suite brought by the owner of a 2007 dodge ram 3500 for the "death shake" at higher speeds.thank you,[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I was driving on i-90 when the steering started shaking. After slowing down below 35mph it went away. This happened everytime speed went above 50mph. Took truck to dealer in ephrata and they replaced tie rods,pitman arms and steerage linkage/damper at a cost of $1200.

While pulling out ofa driveway there was a loud pop and there was no control of the steering.

The technicians stated the drivers side tie rod end needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.

I was driving along the interstate around 65mph and hit a small bump in the road and all of a sudden my vehicle started wobbling all over the place.had my wife and 5 month old baby in the car and finally was able to pull off the side of the road, but while doing that almost sideswiped a few vehicles and semi truck.i believe i was lucky with this. I have heard there is other people who has similar incidents to mine.

The contact owns a 2007 dodge ram 2500.the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign id number 13v528000 (steering). However the part needed was unavailable to perform the repair.the manufacturer was notified.the contact had not experienced a failure.

Death wobble/ happened 3x once pulling a trailer/ dodge dealer told me no recall on mine. To avoid getting in an accident i paid a professional dodge mechanic out of pocket over $1000.00 to rebuild complete front end, all components. Still happened so he resorted to an xtra heavy duty after market steering stabilizer called a rancho. Then put a new steering gear box on and a new set of michelin tires and it hasn't occurred since. However i'm out of pocket about $2500.00. Not a word from chrysler or a dime in restitution. Do i have any recourse now that i've discovered this agreement with ntsba & fiatchrysler. A word from chrysler would have been nice since i own 5 2007 pkups 1 2012 durango & a 1999 dodge ram 3500. I don't know how to send documents on here but i can document all of this and testimony from 1 certified dodge mechanic and another colorado certified front end specialist. If it's neede i can mail copies of receipts or contact one of these lemon lawyers i just read about. Thanks for your time and attention to this very disappointing experience with dodge : i really liked them but am unsure now of their safety. It always happened at about 50-55 mph, always in a curve after hitting a bump. Once put me in the medium with a trailer load of hay. Still wondering how i didn't kill somebody.

I have been having a problem that is know as (the death wobble ) when driving at 50 miles per hour or higher when hitting a bump in the road the truck vibrates so bad the you have a hard time controlling it.this has been happening since 2014.i have changed numerous parts in the steering to solve this problem to no avail. When will there be a recall on this issue before someone is killed.

I have a 2007 dodge ram 2500 power wagon with only 131k miles . As i was driving on the highway home from work at around 60 mph my whole front end started to shake like crazy and i almost lost control of the truck . I had to stop and pull off the road . Looking under the truck i do not see anything that looks broken or damaged. So i went online and alot of people online had the same issue as i did . I was told they are open recalls for front end parts going bad on my truck year model . I called my local dealer the service tech was happy to help until i said recall issues on the front end on the truck then all of a sudden his data base system went down so he will have to call me back . All i need is just a answer on if there is a open recalll so that i can have it repaired . Right now i am scared to move my truck .

My 2007 dodge ram 2500 wobbles when i hit a bump on the highway. It has happened many times and i took it for repairs.the truck was "serviced" and returned to me "fixed".however, i am still having the same problem and am fearful of driving the vehicle.

My 2007 dodge 2500 truck with a 5.9 diesel has experienced, what has been widely known as, death wobble. I would describe this as an uncontrollable loss of control when going over a bump or (more especially) an uneven change in the roadway like when going over overpasses or bridges.this is prevalent on the highway at speeds of 60 mph plus.my truck currently only has 70,000 miles and has been impeccably maintained.the entire truck and steering shakes and the only way to stay alive is to brake heavily until it stops, usually at 30 to 40 mph.this is not safe in any way, but especially on the highway.the truck has had this issue for years and happens without warning.i took the truck to my dealership and they said off the record, "sorry, we know it happens, but we have no solution."death wobble...everyone knows about it.not gonna fix it.hhmmmmm.

The contact owns a 2007 dodge ram 2500. The contact stated that while driving 65 mph over bumpy road surfaces, the vehicle would shake violently. In order to stop the shaking, the vehicle would be slowed down to 35 mph. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, who stated that the vehicle needed new ball joints. The contact replaced the balls joints, but the failure continued. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, who stated that the vehicle needed a new tie rod, steering dampener, pitman arm, front axle u-joint, and wheel alignment. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 86,000. Sm.

I have been notified of the recall on the left tie rod end (n62 / nhtsa 13v-528).i spoke with my local dealer on 01/13/14 and was put on the list for repair.the dealership stated that i was number 35 on the list and they were completing 1 recall every 7-8 days due to lack of parts. Now i am told this recall has been put on hold and will not resume until 6/14.this delay for a recall is alarming.'the left tie ball stud on you truck may fracture under certain driving conditions.this could cause loss of directional control and/or crash without warning.'the tie rod end on my truck has fractured once all ready less than 1 year ago.fortunately there was not a wreck or injury due to the loss of the ability to steer the vehicle.i am now having to replace another steering component linkage on the same truck that is not affected by the recall and the mechanic is having problems locating parts to complete the repair.again if this tie ball stud would fracture it would result in loss of steering control.

Going 50+ and hitting a bump in the road causes the truck to enter a "death wobble" that will not correct until the vehicle is stopped.violent shaking from the front end that can be felt through the steering and makes it feel like the door are going to fall off. *b

I am experiencing a problem with my steering on my 2007 2500 ram, i took it into a dealership for repair and found that the steering linkage is under recall. The problem i described to them is identical to that of the recall description. I have been told that the power steering pump is shot and i need to replace. This does not make sense since the vehicle only has 47000 miles and the description matches that of the recall. Secondly, i was told that the parts aren't readily available and i would have to wait 2-3 weeks. I cannot turn this vehicle to the right at times and this could cause an accident or worse!

I have a dodge 2007 2500 pickup 4x4 diesel 6.7. I have experienced a violent shaking when driving 55-70 mph and hitting a ridge or expansion joint on the road. I was told it was the tires after the first two times it happened, i replaced the tires and experienced it 3 more times before i could get it to the shop. After getting a rod replaced in the front end and the shop stating it was fixed, it happened again within the nest 150 miles. I began searching the internet for answers and came across the "dodge death wobble" and found this has been an ongoing problem for this truck for years. I really believed when this happened the first few times, i was about to wreck or worse, wreck someone else. The truck shakes so violently the driver has zero control. It must look pretty bad from other drivers views as they quickly stop and get out of the way. This should not be happening to a new truck and should be a recall and not make the buyer have to pay to have parts replaced as i have had to do. The truck is so bad i cannot allow it to be driven by my wife or anyone else for fear they could be killed. My wife worries every time i go to work as this has become a big source of stress in our lives.

I have a 2007 dodge ram 2500.i am experiencing the infamous "death wobble".when driving at normal speed for the road conditions the truck will violently shake after going over a bump.it has nearly caused me to wreck 3 times now.i live in a rural area of alaska so i have not been able to get to a shop yet.i contacted a dodge dealer in anchorage and they said that it is probably the stabilizer shock on the front end.i have read more about it online and am discovering that it's a severe issue.

I own a 2007 dodge ram 2500 4wd quad cab long wheel base pickup truck. The steering on this vehicle is best described as ridiculous for the price you have to pay for the truck, not to mention how dangerous it is. My problems startedbefore the truck even reached 20,000 miles. The dealership i purchased the truck from replaced the tie rod ends under warranty, and that helped for a few thousand miles, but didn't correct the problem. I attempted changing the tires and wheels for a set of aftermarket ones around 45-50k miles and that's when the "death wobble" started. I was traveling in the fast lane of a 3 lane interstate at around 70mph, and luckily was able to exit the interstate shortly after it started. I could not regain total control of the vehicle until it came to a complete stop! i'm just lucky it wasn't raining, or very crowded on the interstate at the time or i might not be here to write this complaint. I have replaced the factory steering stabilizer with an aftermarket rancho unit, but that didn't change a thing. I have researched the internet numerous times, but never see any real solutions, only aftermarket manufacturers attempting to sell their idea of a fix. This is a real issue that someone needs to force dodge to correct. I don't know if there are any deaths directly related to this problem, but rest assured there will be. I can't believe that it's been allowed to go on this long. I can't stand the thought of using this vehicle to transport my family, let alone my family losing me because of dodge's apathy towards this issue. I guess someone will have to videotape themselves crashing before the government steps in and makes dodge take notice, like they did to toyota.

After hitting a small bump in the road the stearing wheel shakes so bad you must stopi have almost been hit several timesthere is no control of truckuntil it stops or almost stops.i have heard it called the death rattleis there a reason this problum has never been fixedi have read several complantsthis !!!!!

Starting 3 years ago my truck started doing the death wobble at speeds of 35 and up when ever you hit any bump in the road, the wheel would shake so violently it would cause the loss of control for steering. The first time it happened to me the truck went into a ditch and threw me into the window, it has continued to happen for years now. Dealerships have said nothing is wrong, even though it continues to happen. I only have 38k miles on the truck because i am afraid to drive it with my family inside due to this condition. Something needs to be done about this, it has been an on going problem for at lease 10 years now.dodge needs to come up with a recall before anyone else looses there life or more property damage occurs. The problem is a known fact and the government can see the track records of the failure.please help us consumers!!!!!!!

My son ([xxx]) was driving along king college road, bristol,tennessee at about 8:55pm on december 4, 2014 my vehicle becameunsteerable while driving down the road.the left front tire rod apparently broke and he was unable to steer the vehicle.prior to this incident hehad taken it to a local dodge dealer and they said it was not on the recall list. Come to find out it appears someone erroneously listed the vehicle in the system as being repaired and it was never repaired.i believe someone listed it so chrysler would not have to repair my vehicle and it could have cost my son's life when the tire rod broke.i am requesting that an investigation be conducted to see who erroneously listed the vehicle as being repaired. Thank youinformation redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

The contact owns a 2007 dodge ram 2500. The contact stated that while the driver was driving at approximately 50 mph, the front driver's side of the vehicle shook violently without warning. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was repaired under nhtsa campaign number: 13v528000 (steering) but the remedy failed to repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

The passenger track bar mount and shock mount has fractures in the welds to the axle housing. The shock bracket underneath wear the bottom of the passenger shock bolts in is completely broken and the bottom of the shock is just floating with no stability.this is a factory weld and the 2013-2014s have the same issue but are the only ones with an official recall. It's been reported on many previous years and chrysler/dodge will not fix it. I am unable to take a picture of the the shock bolt as it is blocked by the track bar mount, but i did get the track bar mount clearly with the major fractures. There are more on the inner side of the passenger axle housing. This creates a major safety issue if it completely fails.

Two years ago, while driving at low speed on a city street, the right tie-rod ball joint broke and the tie rod dropped and wedged into the right front tire.brought me to an abrupt stop and swerved the truck into the curb.at the time, i was not aware of a recall.i fixed it.since then, the front transmission blew up.i replaced the whole front end.the right tie-rod broke on the new front end.i fixed it again. The other day, the right wheel bearing seized and the brakes failed.i was travelling at 65 mph towing a flatbed trailer.bringing it to a stop provided me with some maalox moments. I've had enough and am getting rid of this truck before it kills me.

Death wobble / as i was coming down on ramp to i-205 after leaving hannah dodge as speed reached 55 ihit a small bump in pave and truck shook so violently i had to hit brakes as vehicle pulled left then right to shoulder where i came to a stop. This first happened as i reached 164th and hwy. 14 at 64 mph and hit asphalt patch on overpass and was steering to the left lane when truck started shuddering violently and pulling to right as i hit brakes. Luckily on both occasions no traffic was to my right or behind me or i'm sure an accident could have occurred.

Its about ball joint i visit two times the dealer and the technician say don't need replace i see a problem my direccion is vibrating i have a video how its look

In motion on hwy at 55-60 mph coming out of a right turn.right side tires entered a dip in the road and heard a metal bang sound.truck began to rock from side to side, up and down violently causing loss of steering control while the whole family screams.braking made it worse.coasting to below 50 mph corrected the rocking. Found the electronic sway bar hanging loose below truck.suspension bracket for sway bar was broken at rear bolt location and bent down.dealership states left front ball joints need replacing also and may have contributed to loss of control.dealership said nothing is covered under previous recalls 11v350000 or 13v528000.$3400. Estimate.

I bought an extra clean 07 2500 4/4 megacab 6.7 in june of this year. Had upper and lower moog ball joints,tie rod ends and rods where needed,plus new damper at 169k mi. Put a set of new shocks on the other day,truck is factory height ,but has 285s instead of 265s.just today it went into a death wobble on a wet concrete interstate after hitting a very small pot hole on left. I was runnin about 70 and [xxx] near lost it. Luckily there was nothing on shoulder cause i couldn't keep it in my lane.thank god my wife or daughters weren't driving! help!! i dread testing it again after someone claims to have fixed it,since it took 6 mos.

I had me and my kids in my truck and had a bad wobble in the front end of my truck we almost lost control of the vehicle. This is the third time its happened if you hit a bump it will mack your vehicle shake out of control. I had multiple new parts on the front end replaced and it still does it. I'm afraid to drive my truck for any distances because of the problem. When it happens you don't know if your going to go in the ditch or into on coming traffic before you can slow down to get to the side of the road. I've herd this called the death wobble and on the internet search hundreds of people are having the same problem.

I went to the dealer for a state inspection. I was told that the front end steering parts needed to be replaced as it wasn't strong enough for the truck. I asked if it was recalled as it wasn't strong enough. They said no, and the only way they could correct with their parts was replace the whole system. (they would have gotten a part from a outside parts house to replace the one bad part). I believed them and had the whole system replaced for over $1100. It was the replaced system evidently that has been recalled. I have contacted a dealer closer to my winter home for the recall. I have been waiting for over two months for them to contact me that the parts were in. At the original time of me checking i was told the parts probably were not even made yet. Repeated checking is to no avail. I am told they only receive about one part ever two weeks, and they had my info and would call me. The problem could cause a crash! with the winter we have had, and we do plow with this vehicle, it should be a priority. They were contacted january 7th and we are now into march. The time has pasted on when this should be done.

On numerous occasions my truck has went into a violent shaking. Known by many as the "dodge death wobble". I have spoken with dodge on this issue at two different dealerships and they are aware of the issue but seem to refuse to fix or recall it. I have seen numerous fixes that my or may not fix the issue but at owners expense. This is ridiculous on a $40,000 vehicle in my opinion. I am truly amazed no one has been injured or killed from this issue.

Death wobble.

Severe wobble/shaking of front end at speeds between 50mph to 70mph, after hitting normal bumps along the highways. My truck has 55000 miles in it. Apparently it is happening to alot of dodge 2500 diesel owners, however, dodge is not backing up their products and says that the owners are responsible for a factory defect. I am scared to put my wife and kids in my truck for fear of something breaking in the front end and crashing. I have checked the ball joints, bearings, bushings etc and have not seen anything wrong to indicate why this is happening. Hopefully with enough complaints dodge will issue a safety recall and fix this problem before it costs someone their life.

Violent shaking in front suspension/steering when hitting potholes or expansion joints in roads at speeds over45 mph +/-. Have to slow to near stop till it goes away. Very dangerous suprised no one is killed from this.

This is reoccurring. Dodge has termed it the "death wobble" we bought the truck from a dodge dealer in 2009 with 17,000 miles on it. It started doing this within days of purchase.the dealership attempted to fix the problem with no resolve it is happening again. I feel they used faulty parts in 2010 when they attempted to fix it. A number of recalls concerning this issue have not been issued to us or resolved by the dealership.recall numbers performed are h46.three recalls not resolved (attempted but not done) l16, n62, and r25.researching this issue informed me that their are pending class action law suits for these recalls on my make and model.i am needing feedback on what to do with our truck. It is my main work truck and i have a family with 4 kids who ride with me at times.it is very very dangerous. The "death wobble" is just that. It scares you to death.it is so sever that it bounces the truck into oncoming traffic lanes or the median.if it would happen in a curve a wreck would be unavoidable.i race cars and can barely maintain control. The driver looses complete control of steering and has to break hard to gain contact to the road.until an extremely slow speed is obtained, no control can be maintained.

I have experienced the infamous "dodge death wobble" numerous times in the past 3 months.i have a 2007 2500 dodge ram truck that i bought used a year ago.three months ago, driving on the interstate going about 65 mph i came upon a bridge approach slab and once i hit it the truck began violently shaking. Afterwards i did research on the issue and discovered what i experienced matched what is known as the "dodge death wobble". I contacted my dealer and they said dodge has issued a repair bulletin for this issue however also said that they do not believe the repairs dodge recommends fixes the problem. (the research i have done also supports that comment).on november 21 while traveling for thanksgiving i experienced the "death wobble" five times within an hour. I was traveling along interstate 10 at 65-75 mph and every bump, bridge approach slab, or pot hole that was hit would initiate this horrific shaking of the truck. I was in fear of mine and my passengers lives and in fear of damaging other components of the truck. I slowed down to 45-55mph and even slower when crossing road impairments stated above; this seemed to prevent the shaking. Since, i have contacted my dodge dealer, the local dealer of where i'm spending the holiday, and chrysler's customer service.the two dealers again told me about dodge's bulletin however both said they do not believe replacing the tire rod ends and control arms will fix the problem. Chrysler took two days to get a hold of a live person and then a customer service phone rep said that a case manager would contact me within 24 hours.however because of the holiday this puts them not contacting me before 8pm friday. I am traveling home sunday and fear further damaging the vehicle and putting my life in danger if i continue to drive the truck with this defect not being addressed and fixed immediately!

2007 dodge ram 2500 - while driving approximately 50 mph the truck wheels go into what is referred to as the "death wobble" as it's described as both front tires are bouncing up and down like a basketball. The driver has very limited steering control while this is happening resulting in a serious automotive accident. There was a recall on tie-rods but the dealership did not replace the defective tie-rods. I took the truck to a local garage specializing in front wheel alignments and tie rods.this is extremely dangerous and dodge should be held responsible and liable for this defective design and part.

The contact owns a 2007 dodge ram 2500. The contact stated while driving approximately 50 mph the front end and the steering wheel lunged forward and shook uncontrollably.

Driving about 70 mph straight on a highway. Hit a small bump in the road. My truck started shaking violently . Had to slow down to keep control of my truck and make a complete stop to stop it from shaking.

While driving down interstate 25 in albuquerque nm i hit an expansion joint in the road and the truck began to shake violently forcing all other drivers on the road around me to scatter to avoid an accident. I immediately began to slow down and the violent shaking did not stop until i reached approx 35-40mph. I was convinced that my wheel was falling off or a major suspension component had failed but after an immediate inspection there was nothing readily identified. After a very brief search of the web it appears this is a common problem called the "death wobble" and no one appears to have been able to correct it with repairs. Below are 3 of the many you tube links i found describing the incident perfectly as it happened to me.outside the vehicle view of death wobble: http://youtu.be/6lamxupbfdanews story conerning the death wobble: http://youtu.be/xmftrgbyniminterior view of the death wobble: http://youtu.be/gbhmkyvrihk i have only owned this vehicle for 1 year and am concerned that my family is no longer safe in this vehicle. I cannot sell this vehicle knowing that this problem is present, putting someone else in the same danger. I am more than willing to repair the issue myself but it appear that this is happening to may others with no real solutions. Someone is going to get severly injured or killed if this issue is not resolved soon as it appear to be happening to many of the chrysler hd trucks 2003 to the present. In addition to nearly 50 complaints on the safecar.gov website of the same issue. Dodge needs to do the right thing and at least provide the proper engineering required to let us know how to repair the issue. Nhtsa needs to issue a recall and force the hand of chrysler to take ownership and issue the proper fix for the issue.

Driving down i 75 towards tampa to go to my va and truck starts drifting off road and steerin g wheel has no affect on changing direction...steering box is leaking....plus i got a recall notice in my mail about something on my truck last month and when i called jim brown chrysler was told they did not have the parts to fix my truck with and wait for a second recall notice??? please check my vin number and tell me all the things recalled on my truck and help me get my truck up to date.

I received a recall notice in the mailand took my truck to the dealer who preceded to tell me that it did not apply to my truck , so when my 16 year left the dealership 2 days later she was driving down the road and it started shaking uncontrollably and she heard a snap and lost control of the steering and hit a guardrail and wrecked, if not for the guardrail she would have went down a six ft embankment and been injured. She had just driven on the interstate and if she had been on it she probably would have died.i do not appreciate the dealer putting my daughter in this kind of danger, when i contacted them about this they said well, we are only sent 1 every 7 days and they are 30 people in front of you. This excuse is unacceptable and my child could have been killed.i had to pay 933.00 for repairs and i expect to be reimbursed for these repairs.

This has been an ongoing problem since i purchased the vehicle. It has been identified by the many people that have experienced the problem as the death wobble.i have addressed this problem with chrysler and they will not admit there is a problem more than likely because there would be a recall and much money to spend. I have also addressed this problem with my local dealership and they have maintained the same position as chrysler.upon researching the net many have experienced the same problem.description of the problem is as follows;at speeds of 55 to 70 mph, upon hitting normal pot holes (normal for calif pot holes) the vehicle will go into a violent shaking. This is shaking of the entire vehicle where the only way to stop it is to slow to about 30.so needless to say it happens mainly on the freeway. My latest episode happened on a portion of a highway with a curve to the right. After the wobble started due to centrifical force the truck "danced" into the oncoming lane and on to the right shoulder of the same lane. In an effort to slow the truck i was now on gravel/dirt sliding side ways. Came to a stop and sat to collect myself. Resumed my travel slowing to 40 mph at any and every curve.i have not been able to take this vehicle on any freeway because of this problem. Please keep in mind i am not alone. Simply log on to the net and type in death wobble. You will discover how prevalent this problem is. Can you folks help?

While sitting in the truck with the truck in park, but unlocked the tailgate came open. The tailgate hadn't been opened for at least 3.5 hours. When the tailgate suddenly fell open it hit the hitch on our enclosed trailer putting a dent in the tailgate. When we googled recalls there's a mention of a recall on 2015 - 2017 ram trucks due to an actuator malfunctioning and causing tailgates to come open. Please advise if this is covered.

Traveling on a dirt road, our 2007 2500 dodge ram hit a three inch stump, (we were only going about 5 m.p.h.) resulting in bending the differential housing and subsequently releasing all the differential fluid.this caused the front axle to lock up on the highway.the truck skidded to the side of the road.our 1996 pathfinder navigated the aforementioned road several times and we never had any problems.all of the components that were housed in the front axle had to be replaced.we strongly feel that it is a design error, but chrysler refused to cover under manufacture warranty, citing driver error. (the truck is less than a year old)if my husband hadn't realized that there was fluid leaking after the 'minor bump', we would have wrecked going 70 m.p.h. On the highway.the dodge ram is touted as being built 'ram tough' but such a 'minor bump' could have cost us our lives had we not realized what had happened.chrysler should have a recall.

Body.rust starting around the top of both rear wheel wellsengine ,water leaks from the water pump,not all the time ,but you never know when.usually after driving interstate for a couple hours

Death wobble that's resistant to repair.

Death wobble.

"07" mega cab 4x4has the well known "death wobble" that chrysler doesn't want to acknowledge.when traveling over 55 and hit bumps, potholes, or bridge jointsthe condition starts and doesn't stop until slowed to less than 20 mph. This has happened on numerous occasions.have spent several thousand dollars trying to fix to no avail. Truck only had 52500 miles when this started. I have replaced steering system with "new improved" version, replaced shocks, track bar bushings, steering stabilizer, steering gear box stabilizer, tires.truck has only been driven 800 miles in the last 2 years due to the problem and only driven that far because when it started i was 500 miles from home. Couple this with the passenger side air bag recall that said do not drive until replaced and it took a year to get parts.to say i am not happy with chrysler would be an understatement. The "death wobble" is very serious and after thinking i had it fixed it nearly caused a major wreck on a 4 lane interstate while pulling a 26' trailer loaded with atv's, running 65 mph and ran over an expansion joint at a bridge. I cleared all 4 lanes trying to get it under control, everyone was going in all directions to get away from me. Thank god it never caused any damage to anyone's vehicles, only our nerves and underwear. This is way more serious than any emissions scam.

As i was driving about 70mph on the freeway, i hit a small bump where the bridge connects to the freeway. My truck immediately started shaking violently, and i had no control of the steering. I slowed, put on my hazards, and began pulling to the right as i gained control. I had thought it was a flat tire. It corrected itself as i slowed, so i began to pick up speed again slowly. At that moment i hit the bump that connected the departure part of the bridge to the freeway, and the shaking continued. This time i drifted with my hazards on into the right shoulder. This event was terrifying, as i had my wife and 3 year old daughter with me in the car. I was afraid for their safety and everyone around us on the road. Once i got home, i immediately called the dealership and made an appointment to take the truck in. Apparently they have known about this for some time now, because they notified me there was a flyer they received that stated this could happen to dodge trucks, and they knew what to look for.

I understand chrysler has finally admitted to the "death wobble" 2003-2011 problem.my concern is, this has been a problem since the mid 1990 models and now we who ownand maintain those models are left out and are still having the problems.it was their problem in the beginning and they refused to correct it. I, at my expense had the problem repaired in 2010 and once again the problem continues people are still driving the older models and are still at risk. A dodgewill last forever if it is taken care of, that in mind dodge should recall all the 90's models also,it is not right. People can die in accidents involving the older vehicle. Also!!!how many accidents, that may have resulted in death have there been as a result of this problem. How many involved vehicles in the 1990 range before dodge finally admitted to the problem.all the vehicles with a history of the problem should be recalled.

Experienced severe/uncontrollable "death wobble" after running over pothole on frwy. At 70-75mph.occurred south of tucson, az. And 6-7 times again on way to dallas after a road imperfections was encountered.had to keep speed below 65mph and reduced air in front tires to mitigate severity of resulting wobble.each time the wobble occurred i had to quickly reduce speed to below 30mph to regain control of truck.dodge dealership in dallas, tx. Determined the upper and lower ball joints in front end were bad and replaced them.the vehicle had less than 57k miles.cost of ball joint replacement ~$1k.

While driving on the highway at 66 mph my 2007 dodge ram 2500 4wd diesel started to experience the dodge death wobble. The whole truck started shaking and it was dangerous and hard to control.

My 2007 2500 4x4 diesel 6.7 has been a headache since the beginning . It has stalled several times the check engine light comes on for a short while then goes off . But the other day i was in a tight situation, when i stepped on the accelerator hard , a car pulled in front of me i immoderately stepped on thebreak , and northing was there , it wet all the way down to the floor then after a second or two it startedjumping as the anti lock brakes started to work,this was a close one i couldn't of slide my wallet between my truck and the car that pulled out in front of me . This truck also has the worse ride on concrete freeway paving . It bounces in a un stable, most irritating way ,on asphalt freeway it is very smooth, until you hit a bump and it shimmy's in a un safe felling like it could loose control, i am happy with the power of the motor when its got a full load going up hill. With that exception this is the worst over priced truck i've ever owned , ill never buy dodge again.

Death wobble coming from front end of truck. Just started happening when i drive on bumpy roads. Causes coolant splash all over the engine. Almost causes me to loose control of the truck and could cause a serious accident.

2007 dodge ram 2500 "death wobble" will soon kill someone.

I have a 2007 dodge ram 2500 pickup. I have experienced a wobble in the front end. This happens when i am above 50 mph and go across a change in the road surface. The shake will not stop until my speed drops below 30 mph. It is a very violent shake that almost sends me off the road. The vehicle has 74000 miles on it, and i thought it may be the tires since the ones on it were the original tires. I had brand new bf goodrich tires put on it, and it did not fix the problem. I call the dealer about this, and they said it could be the tie rod ends, dampener, or ball joints. He was aware of the problem, but didn't have an answer for me.

Front end wobble/vibration during moderate speed driving.after accelerating to 55-60 mph, front end begins to wobble and shake-- sometimes violently to interfere and cause vehicle to become unstable at speed. Reducing speed helps but only some. Have had front end aligned, re-aligned, new tires, new shocks, etc but no repair has completely fixed the problem.

My 2007 dodge ram 2500 4x4 goes into "death wobble" at speeds higher than 65 mph. When the truck is traveling on the highway it will start to rattle the front end to a point that you feel as though you are riding on a "square tire". Extremely dangerous!!!!apparently this is common knowledge to chrysler management and staff...however, nothing has been done to correct the problem. When i first experienced the problem i took the vehicle to two different dodge dealers to essentially be told by the service managers that the vehicle was perfectly fine and that i probably needed to buy new tires! this problem is obviously more serious than new tires...it is my hopes that someone can raise a red flag to the issue before a serious injury or death occurs as a result of this factory defect.

I have a 2007 dodge ram 2500 mega cab diesel. I am the second owner and have had the truck for about 5 months. I have what is most commonly referred to as the "death wobble" or "death shake". I have taken the truck to dodge and paid to have them fix the problem only to be told there is nothing wrong with the truck. The truck is completely stock with the exception of the after market replacement shocks i had put on to hopefully fix the problem. The shocks did nothing to fix the violent shaking. Basically, when i get the truck up to around 60 mph and hit any small bump or pot hole or anything like that on the roadway the truck begins to shake violently and makes loud knocking noises. To get the shaking to stop i have to reduce my speed to around 30 to 35 mph. Obviously it is not safe to have to do this ona freeway or any other highway for that matter. It is a major safety issue and i am just waiting for the time when the truck causes me to crash. I bought the truck as a family vehicle and my wife won't even ride in it because it is that bad. I don't even like to put my children in the vehicle because of this issue. I explained all this to dodge and they directed my to this website saying that they could do nothing for me. I've done a lot of research and there are a lot of other dodge owners with the same issue. So much so that there are forums dedicated specifically to just this issue. I also found several videos on you tube where dodge owners have video taped their trucks doing the same thing. I know you tube probably isn't the type of website your agency likes to use for researching issues but it shows exactly what is going on. Some of the videos actually show how dodge owners with this problem have just left the dealership after paying to have replacement parts put on their trucks that they were told they needed only to have the same problem when they get back on the road. Being that dodge is unwilling to assist me in any way i would like to lodge a complaint.

I have a 2007 dodge 2500 diesel with the dreaded death wobble.my truck has 46000 miles on it, never been in an accident, and in 290 mile traveled in the last 36 hours, the wobble happened 8 times.this is something dodge has "never herd of"[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Windshield wipers intermittently will not function especially in colder temps under 20 degrees. This causes poor visibility when driving in weather conditions and also to force driver to have to stop to clear windshield. The wipers may work sometimes but other times will not work on vehicle start up or will cease to work while driving. This has happened several times over the last 3 months. A recall was issued for 2008/2009 dodge ram 2500 for the windshield wiper module which can be susceptible to water intrusion that can result in partial or complete failure to function of the windshield wipers but my vin number for my 2007 dodge ram 2500 was not included in that recall. I was told the part could be anywhere from $170 to $2200 dollars to replace not including cost of install and properly diagnosing which module is defective. Once vehicle is warmed up or the weather is warmer or vehicle is parked enclosed in a temperature control environment then the wiper module is unfrozen and will work again. Until you drive out into freezing temperatures. This is extremely dangerous.

The wiper linkage failed for the passenger side wiper causing a loss of window wiping capability on the passenger side.this causes visibility issues even on the driver side.the loose linkage arm could also become stuck and cause a complete loss of window wiping ability.

Traveling down the freeway during heavy rain storm and the passenger wiper linkage fell off at the wiper blade rotating joint ,this caused the passenger wiper blade to come into contact with the drivers side wiper blade and caused both to stop working.they became tangled together.i can home and researched it and it seems to be a common problem on many dodge trucks. Thank the almighty that it happened at 3am ,on my way to work,with barley any traffic.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Climate control switch does not work properly. Heat will not work on floor setting.
