| Description of the problem | Tl*the contact owns a 2005 dodge ram 2500. While driving 45 mph, the front end of the vehicle bounces and shakes violently when driving on uneven pavements or bridges. The vehicle has been to the dealer twice. The steering damper was replaced the first time. The repair corrected the failure for approximately 6,000 miles and four months. The failure recurred and the vehicle is currently at the dealer. The mechanics attempted to replace the tie rod ends and installed a new damper, but the contact believes that a recall should be issued since there are numerous complaints. The failure mileage was 52,000 and current mileage was 58,000. |
