| Going down the highway at 55-60 and you come across a bridge landing you encounter an uncontrollable shaking in the drivers wheel and the truck wants to go all over the road and you must slam your breaks on to regain control over the whole truck. the mechanic told me the trac bar ruined my ball joints and wheel bearings he has seen alot of these dodges have this issue. and in his opinion they should be recalled this bill is going to cost me over $1500 mainly in just parts alone. | |||

| At highway speeds when you hit a bump in the road the front steering of the truck starts a violent shaking commenly known as the death wobble. this does not allow you to steer or control the vehile until you slow down to 30mph. i have been ran off the road several time when this occured, thankfully i did not his another vehicle. dodge is aware of the faulty design and will sale the redesigned parts to eliminate the issue for about $600. they will not warrenty it unless it is installed by them. if you want you under warranty truck repaired to fix their faulty design you will have to pay for parts and labor, about $1500 total. this is a very dangerous problem. there are several videos on youtube that show how it happens and the death wobble in action, search dodge ram death wobble. thanks. | |||

| My 2007 2500 4x4 diesel 6.7 has been a headache since the beginning . it has stalled several times the check engine light comes on for a short while then goes off . but the other day i was in a tight situation, when i stepped on the accelerator hard , a car pulled in front of me i immoderately stepped on the break , and northing was there , it wet all the way down to the floor then after a second or two it started jumping as the anti lock brakes started to work,this was a close one i couldn't of slide my wallet between my truck and the car that pulled out in front of me . this truck also has the worse ride on concrete freeway paving . it bounces in a un stable, most irritating way ,on asphalt freeway it is very smooth, until you hit a bump and it shimmy's in a un safe felling like it could loose control, i am happy with the power of the motor when its got a full load going up hill. with that exception this is the worst over priced truck i've ever owned , ill never buy dodge again. *tr | |||
