| Started hearing a low howling noise in my front end when going around curves in the road, it progressively got louder after a couple weeks to a grinding sound,took it to the dealer where i bought it performance dodge, woodbury, nj. they stated that both front wheel bearings were bad. i told the service manager that i heard there was a recall on my year model for that very reason, he stated that he never heard of it, i informed him of the reason for the recall, and his answer was that my truck was 6 years old and those things wear out. i said are you crazy the truck has only 38000 miles on it, his answer was it was a good thing i purchased a extened sevice contract. it cost me $107.00 deductable.i called chrysler and was told there was no recall on my truck.this was my first chrysler product and if this is how they stand behind there product, when they were aware that there was a problem at the factory it will be my last. my truck should have been part of that recall, just like many others that were not.i will be trading it in for a ford next year. now i know why the govt. had to bail chrysler out so many times | |||

| Bought 2006 dodge ram 1500 new from metro dodge in ottawa. have had numerous front end troubles. brakes,3sets of front shocks,wheel bearings,outer tie rod ends replaced once at 22000km`s. tie rod ends on streeing are defective again. dodge wants to inspect & charge for outer rie rod ends after 42000kms on second set. checking used 2006,2007 & 2008 in dodge dealer lots outer tie rods have been replaced on trucks in lot. i feel dodge is covering up a defective design & part troubles on all 3 years. metro dodge told me to never bring my truck back for service. the service manager denies that these years of trucks have defective front end parts & design. please investigate before a major collision with this vehicle. *tr thank you, steve moore | |||

| On 2-12-2007 nhtsa issue a recall on 2006 dodge 1500,for the front hub suspension:wheel bearing.i was notified of the recall from the dodge dealership where i purchased my truck. so i was unaware of the recall. in july of 2009 i was returning from vacation and i was in south carolina and i started having trouble with my truck so i found a mechanic shop, they told that the front hubs were messed up and needed to be replaced, it was late in the afternoon and the mechanic was only able to find one hub so he replaced the worst one of the two and told me that the other one would get me home. once i got home i took the truck to my dodge dealership and they replaced the other side and also advised me that the rearend was out of the truck and they repaired that. about two weeks later i find out that there was a recall on the front hub so i call the dealership and they told me that my truck was not one of the vehicle under the recall. i don't understand how my truck was not under the recall when the same thing went wrong with my truck the is listed on the recall. i don't know where else to go with this so please advise me with what direction to take this is not the first problem i have had with dodge. i want to thank you in advance for your assistant. *tr | |||
