| Component | STEERING |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | 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. |
