2009 Dodge RAM 2500 Steering Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	905605
Internal NHTSA #	10446968
Manufacurer	CHRYSLER GROUP LLC
Brand	DODGE
Model	RAM 2500
Model Year	2009
File date	02/02/12
Component	STEERING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Drivers side (short) tie rod end fractured while plowing 1" snow in parking lot. Going straight forward, heard a clunk, then lost control of vehicle and stopped with plow in snow pile. In hindsight, this is a very scary failure and it is difficult to imagine a better outcome. Dealer fixed as a warranty claim and claims that the truck is not part of your investigation/recall for a very similar failure, making me wonder if there is a broader problem here. I tried to get the broken part, but the dealer would not provide it. No injuries or damage, but extremely inconvenient repair that cost me time, money and effort to hand shovel. Plus my wife's time off work. Best wishes, hope this helps make a safer vehicle.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
