I purchased a new 2007 dodge 3500 , that started to fail in many areas of the vehicle, before the 10,000 mile mark. Freedom dodge here in lexington kentucky deliberately executed insurance fraud to blame clutch failure on a minor collision that never busted a light, radiator, etc. And was able to drive after collision.before the accident i noticed clutch slipping, truck tires began to wear at an extreme rate, and vibrationswas becoming an increasing problem. I then took the truck to freedom dodge where they blamed all on minor collision, in which i turned to geico for reimbursement. Geico fought dodge on this issue, then freedom dodge went back on their previous documentation and blamed the failures on me, and documented that.i have documents of them going back on their previous documentation.i have all documentation to support all, while paying a high payment for this so called "heavy duty" truck, i was forced to make repairs or give back.after replacing clutch that cost me over $1600.00 the other problems visibly arising was to much to take from my family to pay for.this truck and the voluntary repo process has destroyed my good credit that i have worked so hard to perfect. Thanks to dodge/chrysler my family now suffers from my purchase from freedom dodge.the deliberately falsified company documents to make financial gain, and continue to sell these vehicles to others, knowing from many others these trucks are junk.the motor is built by cummins, never had a problem from motor, but all parts behind trucks are junk and designed for failure, to increase sales in their service dept.my family has dearly paid for my choice to by a dodge. Due to the many recalls, the last one being with rack & pinion, resulting in spontaneous crash, i would not allow my family to ride in this truck out of fear for their lives.my wife was furious, because i was forced to drive such an unsafe and failed vehicle.they ruined my life and our credit,we deserve comp.

I was involved in an automobile accident on 11/6/13.the 2007 dodge ram 3500 truck i was in was totaled due to the accident.the air bags did not deploy upon impact.my head hit the steering wheel and bent the steering wheel.my neck was broken in two places.i feel that if the air bags had deployed i would not have been hurt as seriously as i was hurt.i don't know if anyone else has had trouble with air bags not deploying but i do think someone needs to know about this problem and maybe no one else will be hurt as bad as i was hurt.

60 miles from home after a 2,000 mile camping trip the truck suddenly stopped. Traveling north on highway191 in yellowstone park the dash lights started to flash and the truck died. I was barely able to pull off the narrow road. Emergency flashers didn't work and there was no cellphone service, snow was falling and trucks barely able to get around us, we feared for our lives. I opened up the hood and smelled burning plastic, the tipm was melted in spots. Finally a kind motorist stopped to see if we needed help,20 miles further down the road he was able to call a towing service which took another several hours to get to us. We were towed to a dodge dealership in bozeman where it will be another2 weeks before they can get it in.

My 2007 dodge ram 3500suddenly lost all electrical and engine power when slowing for a red light on us27 4lane at somerset, ky. I was towing a equipment trailer and was able to steer around traffic and get stoppedon shoulder. I notice smoke and smell of burnt plastic from under hood as soon as i got stopped. I was able to jerk the battery cable off with pliers and put fire out at fuse box next to battery.i had truck towed to somerset dodge dealer who replaced the tipm module (under hood fuse block) .when i picked up truck next the next day i asked why did it burn with no fuses blown? i was told they found nothing else wrong with truck, i may need to check my trailer. This would not explain the fuse not blown.i purchased truck new in 2007 and use ittowing cattle or farm equipment with never a fuse blown in truck in 49,000 miles or 5 years.this is a problem that dealer service advisor could not explain and there was no recall related to fuse block.i checked both my trailers and found no problems, which if there had been that's what fuses are for.i feel my dealer has done all they can but i am not satisfied with the failure of this fuse block.the incident on sept. 24, 2012 would have had a different end had i been inleft lane behind traffic at 55mph and towing five ton with limited braking on truck and none on trailer due to them being electric, also had it been night and the loss of headlights could have made steering around traffic impossible.the fact that this has been reported by other drivers/owners to this somerset dealership makes me think there is a need for dodge to address this problem.

2007 dodge ram 3500.the same issue as with the 2006 model is still present.the multi-function switch malfunctions.left will flash right. Wipers become in-op.this seems to be the same issues with the last investigation, file number pe08059. When i call the dealership to get a replacement part, they are on back order.the dealer has a problem with keeping the part in stock but denies that there is a problem.this problem appears to be intermittent at first and later becomes permanent.it is helpful to other drivers when you signal left that your left signal illuminate and not the right. And visa versa.

The contact owns a 2007 dodge 3500.while driving approximately 60 mph on normal road conditions, a warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel and remained lit until the engine was turned off.the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnostic testing, but they could not duplicate the failure.the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer on four separate occasions for identical failures, but there were no resolutions.the contact stated that there were several repairs performed on the vehicle; however, she was uncertain of the components related to the repairs.the vin was unknown.the failure mileage was 2,000 and current mileage was 60,000.

Electrical fire on computer modular and fuse box causing vehicle to try to start and moved on its own about 150 yards.key was not in the truck, it was parked.when discovered lights were on and windshield wipers & washers was on.batteries had to be disconnected to shut down truck. If truck had not been found when it was it would have burnt to the ground. Truck was towed into dealership three weeks ago.dodge is blaming this problem on the installation of utility bed which was done three years ago by spillards in austin, tx. Which has been installing beds since 1987. We are getting the total run around from dodge!dodge has now replaced the computer modular and now claims both batteries are burnt up due to this problem.this is a safety issue on this truck.it could have created a wreck or killed someone when it went out of control.

Tipm issues multiple times replaced wipers,lights, horn all go crazy on 4 separate occasions truck has engaged starter and engine started with no key in ignition. A real safety hazard as the truck is a manual transmission and if left in gear it takes off. I've owned the truck approx 5 years with tipm replaced at least 5 times dealer has no answers. The only way to stop the truck when this starts is to disconnect batteries. Happens with no warning at all. Always wondering where is a safe place to park it and if the next time will be the time it burns to the ground.

Totally integrated power module has a short causing the right side parking lamps, marker lamps, and right side taillight to blow the fuse every time it is changed. As soon as the lights are turned on, the fuse blows within seconds.

At 35,000 miles the engine quit. I could smell wires burning. The box that holds the fuses melted with no blown fuses. They replaced the box. After 12,000 mores miles the engine quit on the highway and the fuse box caught fire this time. I raised the hood and saw sparks jumping around and a flame in the box with a lot of smoke. I quickly disconnected the battery and put out the fire.

On way to work lost power light to see customer service department on. Stalled, restarted, stalled, called tow trk. Has particulate filter replace @ $2600.00 now 4 months back to dealership for same problem.

Truck died in middle of road, truck would not start .son towed truck out of roadto parking lot. Truck, started again ran 3 days. Pulled out of parking lot , the truck accelerated out of controlled hit brakes a few times and truck died again in middle of road. Started again , truck moved 10 feet and died . Tipm(totally integrated power module ) has failed. Unexpected acceleration scared me considerably. Less experienced driver or my wife would have got scared and crashed.

As i was traveling the highway, my engine starting smoking.i was extremely fortunate that i was coming up on a service center/grocery store in idaho.there was indication on my dash instruments that my truck was operating abnormally, other than the smoke sifting through the hood.upon my pulling over onto the the side, i opened the hood with used of heavy gloves and a towel and checked to see if radiator had fluid as the indicator light had read normal.as expected, coolant spewed out. I immediately closed it and waited for it tobe towed into idaho falls to be checked by a shop that i was familiar with.

Tipm (totally integrated power module) failed, causing vehicles engine to stall at 75mph on freeway. Condition resulted in a "no-start" scenario. Because of this failed tipm, the onboard diagnostic computer has no power, resulting in an inability to diagnose with obdii scan tools. This situation could have resulted in a possibly fatal accident, as the vehicle was in motion at 75mph on a major freeway with moderate traffic. When the vehicle stalled, all power steering and brakes were lost. These parts are prone to failing, but chrysler refuses to accept responsibility. An aftermarket replacement is available at the price of approx. $600, but these parts are special order, and take several days to receive.

Loaded at 18000 lbs gvw while towing a tandem axle trailer the vehicle died.upon losing all electrical power the engine died causing the loss of power assisted brakes and power assisted steering.fortunately the speed of the vehicle was around 5 mph.i'm 6 foot tall and over 200 lbs and i was unable to steer the vehicle to the side of the parking area.upon leaving the vehicle i immediately smelled electronics burning.i opened the hood and immediately disconnected the positive post of the totally integrated power module (tipm).i then removed the tipm to find a hole burnt through the side and the circuit board covered with black soot. I had the vehicle and trailer towed to corbin ky where there were no dodge dealers willing to work on a vehicle of this size.nor would they store the trailer for me while conducting the repair.i choose to have the vehicle and trailer towed over 600 miles to my home in michigan.i called my local dealer whom took the vin number to order an new one.after over 2 weeks waiting on the tipm (which turned out to be remanufactured) the truck is still not operable. If i had been traveling at interstate speeds with a loaded vehicle i likely would not have survived this incident. Prior to this happening i had many issues with the lighting on the truck.the low beam on the passenger side would be inoperable while the drivers high beam is the only one that would work.also, the taillights would stop working on one side and the turn signals would flash quickly.not seeing this as a huge safety issue i simply took it the dealer to reflash the tipm.after getting it back with half the lights inoperable, the ac didn't work anymore.now the vehicle is worthless and all sense of security and safety is gone.i can no longer confidently take my family anywhere in this vehicle.

This vehicle has been maintained according to the manual perfectly and in most cases maintenance done before required.on the date above i was driving home and the vehicle lost power.since i was 2 hours from home i had to have it towed to the local dealer.their repair order indicates that all 6 injectors, the dpf, crankcase breather filter, thermostat, ox sensor and 2 temp sensors must be replaced. In addition, the entire fuel system needs to be cleaned out including all filters, air and fuel and oil changed and filter.the bottom line is that all this work will cost me $7500.this truck has too little mileage to need all this work.this was supposed to be the last truck i would own figuring the cummins engine's reputation.interested in whether this truck is an aberration or is it similar to trucks with the first clean burning engine?

While towing a fifthwheel trailer i noticed smoke in the cabin and stopped the truck.upon opening the hood i found a fire at the firewall on the right side behind the engine. Failing to be able to extinguish the flames i separated the truck and trailer and pushed the truck away from the trailer and dialed 911.the truck was a total lose and after contacting dodge i was told that my truck had already had the recall performed (08v641000) and that they had never had any further problems with these vehicles.clearly the recall failed to correct the problem at the very least in this case. Chrysler sent an inspector ([xxx]) out to investigate and inspect the truck, his report stated that there were no material defects found.i have a copy of that report if you need. Chrysler has refused to honor the warranty on this vehicle as well.i have a video of the incident taken by my son who was with me at the time.thevehicle is still being held at insurance auto auctions 2299 w. Broadway, phoenix arizona.there was a police report taken as well as a statement to the fire department.

I received a safety recall h34 for a dash silencer pad and called the dealership to have the issue resolved.they reported that the part is currently unavailable.however, the issue may "may cause an underhood fire without warning" and i am not willing to put my employees or my family in harm's way, thus this report.

Diesel, 5.9while driving at 50mph the check engine light illuminated and shortly there after the engine stopped running all together.i was able to safely stop the pickup along the shoulder of the roadway.i noticed the smell of diesel fuel and the left side of the engine was covered in diesel.after my pickup was towed home i researched the symptom and discovered i wasn't alone with this issue.it seems the bolt that holds a clamp around the fuel line to the number four cylinder backs out allowing movement or vibration to this fuel line and a leak develops in the high pressure line and diesel fuel to spray into the engine. In addition to the potential fire hazard from the diesel fuel the sudden loss of power is very concerning.i found several posts on forums regarding this same issue.the parts guy at cummins said he has sold as many as 6-7 of these fuel lines per month.i can only imagine how many fuel lines were sold at the dodge dealerships around the unites states.

2007 dodge ram 3500. Consumer writes in regards to warranty claim *tgwthe consumer stated he would like a written explanation as to how the banks ram cold air intake and the banks tech- cooler intercooler system caused the failure, since that was the basis for his denial of warranty coverage. The consumer was informed the failure was due to vehiclemodifications.the consumer stated he has been to the dealer several times, due to fuel starvation issues.the vehicle was said to have been repaired. However, 10,000 miles after the 100,000 warranty had expired the consumer began experiencing problems again, which led to the injectors malfunctioning again. The consumer stated it would cost $5,1000 to resolve all six injector issues.

Twice while pushing the accelerator pedal, the diesel engine went full throttle on its own and would not stop. The only way to stop it was to turn off the key which is extremely dangerous. The last time it went to 80 mph before i could shut off the key.

I was driving my truck across country and the power downgraded. I took it to a dodge service dept and they told me my exhaust catalytic system was 90% plugged and it would cost over $6000 to replace it, but because of the nationwide problem with the catalytic system, there would be at least a 2 week wait to get the parts. I managed to drive it back to my home dodge service dept. They gave me the same prognosis but only ordered a particulate filter, costing over $3000. Again, because of the high demand, i had to wait for the backordered part. I was also told that because of the faulty catalytic system, there would be carbon buildup on the egr valve, exhaust brake, and turbo that would suffer damage and would need to be cleaned regularly, taking a mechanic over 6 hours of labor to do so each time at a rate of $80/hr. This repair took place on 9-2-08. Then 9 days later, i was driving down an interstate highway when the truck shut itself down. Luckily, it was late and there was no traffic accident as i managed to barely roll onto the shoulder. I had to be towed to the nearest dodge service dept and they determined that the catalytic was clogged again, charging me another $3000 to replace a part, and taking another 6 hours to clean my turbo and drill a port into it for future cleaning. I was told that drilling a hole into the turbo was dodges quick remedy to the catalytic system causing carbon buildup on the turbo. On 12-7-08, my exhaust brake stopped working and as of 12-9-08 the dodge service dept is replacing the $2000 turbo/ exhaust brake, damaged because of carbon buildup due to the faulty catalytic system.

I have a 2007.5 dodge ram 3500 4x4 quad cab with a 6.7 cummins and an auto. 6 speed trans. I have since i owned it have a problem with it getting exhaust fumes in the cab when i come off the hwy and have to sit at a light for very long. With the a/c on or in the re circulate mode it does not do it but in defrost or heat / vent mode you can hardly stand it almost makes you loose lunch. I have in every way i can tried to get chrysler to address it but to no avail. They just sent out a letter saying that the system is working the way it is suppose to and we are not changing it there is no fix...

Emissions, co sensor & carbon filter 2007 dodge diesel 6.7 l, apparently there have been several of these go through the dealerships in utah, first the check engine light comes on then take in to have it checked, first time it was a co detector second time in less than 2,000 miles the carbon filter on a diesel truck. First year that they have put these on. It causes poor fuel economy. 11.5 mpg on a diesel engine that is engineered to be fuel efficient. The regeneration sensor did not kick it into regeneration to burn the carbon off the filter they had to replace it. Cost $2200 for the dealership still under warranty. This is what the epa has mandated for diesel trucks. Some one had better get this right because it is wasting more fuel and causing greater failures on these new diesel exhaust systems.if after market manufactures can produce exhaust systems and computer software that gives 22 mpg. Then the companies that produce the trucks can also. 11.9 to 22mpg is almost 90% increase in fuel economy. Who is ripping us off the epaor the car companies.

Safety issue. Lack of key lock on passenger door. I got out of my vehicle without shifting to park. I was on the passenger side when vehicle started moving. I had a door key but was unable to use it for lack of lock. I was unable to get to the driver side to prevent accident. No injuries but there could have been and even deaths.

My truck shifted itself in 4wd low while going 75 mph down the interstate which destroyed my transfer case and transmission and caused my drive shaft to come loose which i feel is a very dangerous defect as it could have rolled my truck. I have found others that have had this happen apparentlybecause of a electronic transfer case motor reading the wrong signal and shifting into low range whether the truck is moving or even running. It's something that shouldn't happen especially with a manual 4wd shifter

A vibration occurs when driving at highway speed (above 65 mph) seems to lighten up at 75 mph but does not disappear. The vibration feels to be coming from the rear of the vehicle. Tires were rebalanced and rotated with no cure. New tires were purchased, rotated and rebalanced twice with no cure. I have found several complaints on the internet for this same issue. The following are similar complaints that have posted on websites concerning this vibration. Dodge seems to completely deny all knowledge of this problem. A small list of the websites with complaints listed are: www.dieseltruckresource.com, www.justanswer.com, www.dieselbombers.com, dodgeforum.com, www.ramforumz.com, www.cumminsforum.com. Please help to get dodge to recognize and repair this problem which could be potentially fatal if the vibration causes a vital piece of equipment to loosen, fall off and cause a serious accident.

This problem cross multiple years of the dodge ram 2500-3500 series of pickups. The front seat belts have an overactive pre-tensioner, which if traveling on a rough, gravel, or a simple bump/crack, or even turning a corner activate and continues to tighten and restrict the driver and passenger from moving. If on a rough or gravel road, the tightness of the seatbelts get to the point of having to remove them during driving, allow them to retract, pull back out, and rebuckle, only to repeat a few minutes later.the tightness also constrains the movement of the driver meaning that he/she is to tightly locked to the seat because of the overactive pre-tensioners it makes driving the vehicle unsafe.in some cases the belts become so tight that the only option is to remove them and ride without them, which is against the law, but the only option when traveling on a rough or gravel road.these belts should not act this way, and the pre-tensioner should only activate in a forward moving sudden stop, not under normal driving conditions.i have tried to address the situation with dodge, but without success.the issue is being discussed on a dodge truck/cummins engine forum in this thread:http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/6-7-liter-general-discussion/490020-overactive-seat-belt-pre-tensioner.html#post5047830.

The seat belt will not release. You are stuck in the seat until a screw driver or another devise is used to let you out. This has caused us to leave the seat belt latched but we are no longer secured in it. It's the law that i must wear a seat belt but i am scared no one will be around to release me from the seat belt.the front driver seat does not recline easily. If it is reclined and i want the seat to come forward it gets stuck and takes numerous tries to get it straight.

Purchased van from dealer.while driving the next day, front brakes started to squeal rather loudly.this continued and got louder....the van sounded like a school bus.i took the van over to the dealer because now there was a lot of brake dust on the front tire rims.i was informed that this was a problem and i couldn't be helped with the issue.my brakes are wearing down quickly and squeal loudly.there is so much brake dust that my rims look black if not washed.i feel that dodge/crysler should replace my brake pads free of charge and check my rotors for wear and replace if necessary also free of charge since this is a standing issue.if my brakes fail, this may cause a serious accident.also, it is rather embarrassing to drive a new van that dodge is trying to promote and it sounds like this.

I have had a 03 ram 2500, 04 ram 3500, and 07 ram 3500. I have experienced a death wobble numerous times with each vehicle at all highway speeds after hitting pot holes and bumps. It violently shakes the whole truck until you reduce the speed to 30-40 mph. It feels like the truck will lose control and shake off the road. I have heard numerous complaints and feel this issue needs to be addressed by chrysler before someone gets hurt or killed. I have taken each truck into the dealership three times to be looked at and they said nothing was wrong with it.

Ignition will not crank. We have 2 keys for it, neither works the first time. Takes 10-30 minutes to get the key to turn. I have seen there are recalls for ignitions for the same year, make and model as ours. Our vin does not come up as having the recall.

Today while pulling into a parking stall i had a catastrophic steering failure.the drivers side steering tie rod stud fractured where it bolts into the knuckle.the tie rod dropped between the tire and suspension causing loss of steering control and the left wheel was no longer connected to the linkage.i searched several dodge enthusiast forums and it seems other owners have experienced similar failures.this truck was serviced approx 2 years ago at a local dodge dealership and the entire steering linkage was replaced because of loose and knocking steering when turning. The incident today required me to have the truck towed to my residence pending research and possible repair. This vehicle has not been involved in any situation where the steering linkage would have been damaged. I inspected the broken stud and it appears to have had a catastrophic failure of the metal.any direction or assistance would be appreciated.

I am experiencing the 'death wobble' when i hit a bump in the road. Front of vehicle wobbles and shakes dangerously and only stops when i slow down. Happens when driving the vehicle on any street or highway. I read information about steering or tie rods/stabilization being ineffective on 1999-2008 model trucks. Can this be repaired/fixed and will the cost be covered by the manufacturer?

Heard noise coming from the left front wheel area so took it into a non dodge dealership and was told that my tie rods on both sides were completely shot and needed to be replaced. I was told by dodge that they had a kit to replace both sides because it was a known problem but that there was no recall. Had pretty much the whole front steering done. The technician who worked out it said it was so bad that my steering could have gone out at any minute. That is really terrifying since i have a family and we tow a trailer with quads. To top it all off dodge chrysler said they will only possibly reimburse me for the part but no labor since a ford dealership did the work even though i called dodge ahead of time and there was no recall. The report date on nhtsa says 11/6/13 so i am confused why dodge didn't know it was coming since apparently several people did on the internet.

Power steering hose developed a leak where it rubbed on the frame/body and the power steering gearbox developed a leak at the output shaft.this allowed all the fluid to leak out loosing power steering. Not knowing you had lost the assist until you tried to turn could cause you to run off the road or hit another vehicle.also the fluid actuates the brake booster causing you to loose brake assist which makes it difficult to stop as it is very hard to overcome the forces of the hydraulic booster holding the brake pedal which could cause an accident. The repair shop had a hard time finding a hose as it is a dealer item and they didn't stock it. They had a hard time finding a gearbox also but finally found a remanufactured one.new ones were not available.

As with many others on this web site,randomly after hitting a bump in the road my truck starts to bounce uncontrollably almost running of the road.i have to slow down to a crawl to make it stop.how many people have to complain for this to become a real issue.

The right front tire,a general ameritrac 235/80r/17,which is the original spare tire that was put on just a couple of months before,started to shake. I went to local tire store to get a new one installed. They did not have any so i was on my way home. Its about 8 miles each way to this store from my home. On the way home,this tire blew up like it had a bomb in it! the disintegrating tire destroyed my running board,fender flair and dented the trucks fender.i didn't have a spare,so i used the trucks tire tools (another issue)and took one of the rear duals off of the back and put in on the front to get home.after a trip to the tire store,they would replace or adjust this tire,so i had to buy a new one.well just the other day that tire started to shake too.after running 70 mph on the interstate,and having tire issues with the same general tires,i was quick to get off an exit ramp to see what was making my truck shake.i quickly noticed that the left front tire was coming apart like the other one had done.so i did the same as before,i took a dual wheel off and put in the steer position.this tire was coming apart and i caught it before it blew too. Upon removal i about fell over when i seen a bulge in this tire on the inside where the tread and sidewall meet. This bulge was the size of a large grapefruit!these tires have 16/32 tread when new. The one that was coming apart still has 13/32 tread.barely worn. The dealer has offered to pro rate the tire.thats ok. But what about the damage the other had done to my truck? i guess im out of luck??these general tires obviously have safety issues that need looked into. The tire dealer and general tire (and myself) are lucky there weren't any injuries as when the first tire blew at 50 mph,i had my hands full keeping my truck under control. Had i had my trailer behind me with a load on it going 70 mph,there would have been one hell of a wreck.

I had received a recall notice n62/ nhtsa 13v-528. I called dealer numerous times to set up an appointment to have the vehicle checked. The dealer stated that i was on a waiting list for the part. It has been a few years and numerous calls later and the vehicle part still has not been checked and or repaired.

We bought the truck out of state from the chrysler dealership in bonham tx and they claimed it was a low mileage truck, with no issues.it had been purchased new from them, all services done and then traded-in for a new truck. We asked to have an outside inspector check it out but was unable to locate one from the small town area within the allotted time they wanted us to pick it up. When we went to get the truck, it went for a short text ride and then completed paperwork and rushed out the door.we had assumed that the dealer did a complete overall inspection and repair of any issues with the truck. On our way back to ca the truck water pump had broke causing the serpentine belt to fall off and loose steering almost causing the truck to wreck.we towed it to a repair facility where they fixed the pump and told us that there may also be a transmission issue.so the next day we went to the closest chrysler dealership to have it checked out. They ok'ed the trans and we purchased an chrysler warranty (because of the low miles & year) since we had bought it from a dealer (in tx) the truck was eligible for 48k/4 yrs coverage.a few days (2.4k miles later) the "check engine light" came on.we asked our local dealer to check the truck out to see what other issues it may have. The code was for the cam positioning sensor (covered by the warranty) and the dealer found other items including: needing new brakes all around, 4x drivetrain service, injector flush, air, fuel and oil filters that i have to pay for.the main issue:the front end with a bad steering box, tie rod ends and upper/lower ball joints need to be replaced.the chrysler rep said it is an pre-existing condition and won't cover the parts/labor.both the warranty issuing dealership and my local dealership told me they would not have sold the truck in that condition.are these covered under a recall?

Truck steering and suspension shake when traveling over bumps or traveling at certain speeds.multiple mechanics have explained that the entire front end of the truck is unsafe.after finding that this is such a common occurrence with ram trucks, it seems that the issue has been covered up by dodge as they will not assist in the cost to replace the faulty geometry that causes sloppy steering components.they recommended that i replace the tie rod and damper, and yet they recommended replacing it with a completely upgraded part that will be very expensive to fix.i also can not get this part because it currently has a recall on the part, so i am stuck without being able to fix my truck.

My husband and i were driving down south padre island drive and the truck started shaking from the front end. My husband lost control of the steering wheel and could not control nor stop the shaking of the truck. He had to slow down and steer to the side of the road. We hit a small pole and the rear bed was hit. My arms and legs were pretty banged up and bruised, so i sought medical attention. Every since the incident happened, our truck has not been moved because it will not pass inspection due to the steering and losing control problem. The truck shakes real bad and feels like it is falling apart when this problem occurs. So therefore, it can not be driven because of this problem. We took it in to the dodge dealership after it happened and they denied helping us and test driving it to see for themselves that the truck does start to shake and lose control while being driven. So every since this incident, our truck has been parked and my husband took it in to make some previous repairs and those repairs were and have been unsuccessful because the truck still does the same thing while either i am driving it or my husband is driving it or anybody else is driving it.

Right outer tie rod end fell apart causing loss of steering. Vehicle pulled hard left however i was able to safely stop without hitting anything.

While driving my 2007 dodge 3500 ram 6.7l dual, 6spd manual, pulling my camper (well within towing limits,) i went over a bump on an overpass. The vehicle began jumping around violently and i left the roadway due to loss of steering and brake function. The even was so violent, my radiator broke, and i lost all of my coolant. My "front end" was destroyed, as well as many systems damaged. The interior of the truck suffered damage as well. There are many noises, vibrations, and smells that have not gone away. I found out that this is a problem so common, that it has a nickname, "the death wobble." i found out that there is a safety recall beginning the year after my model. After some research, my model year has the same parts described in the affected model years. This is a common occurrence, seemingly well known to dodge. I was told by a certified shop that it is not safe to drive. They showed me several aftermarket parts designed to eliminate this problem. The steering system alone was quoted at $3,000 to repair. The radiator was disturbingly expensive. My exhaust system was damaged and parts of it fell off. There is an exhaust leak. Not to mention, that i almost flew off of an overpass.my truck has been babied its entire life, and looks new. When i contacted dodge, they were unwilling to help. I told them that this is the same problem covered by the recall in vehicles containing all of the affected part numbers as mine. I told them that i could have been killed in this event, and that the problem has persisted to the point where it is unsafe to drive. The repairs for the directly affect damages could be nearing $10,000 according to the certified shop it was brought to. This doesn't account for components that had a reduction in lifespan from this event. I just want my front end repaired so that i can drive or sell it. Haven't used my camper since.

Vehicle begins shaking violently cause loss of control.i have to come to a complete stop to regain control of the vehicle.no mechanics or dodge service centers know what is causing the problem.i have spent over $2000 to have things replaced and problem has not been fixed.this is a very dangerous problem.i have searched the internet for solutions.all i have found are other people with this problem an no one knows how to fix it!
