| When getting off the expressway ramp the brakes seemed weak, then i could not turn the wheel and had to almost stop. i had no power assist on the steering at this point. once the wheels were straight again it seemed fine. the next few turns had the same problems causing me to almost hit objects and other cars as i could not turn the vehicle. i was not pulling anything at the time. my son-in-law had the same issue on his same make/model/year dodge truck at about the same mileage last year while pulling a 5th wheel. he took it in and they flushed out the power steering system as a fix and it has not occurred again....yet. problem could be related to contamination in the hydraulic system which will jam valves, or it could be in electronics modules. either way its not good, especially when pulling a large 5th wheel. | |||

| While driving at speeds above 55mph, if an expansion joint, pot hole, or any form of a larger bump is hit, the vehicle will go into what is commonly known as death wobble. to be more specific, the front axle is shifting side to side underneath the body of the truck, causing a violent shake that is impossible to describe. being an ase certified technician, i inspected my personal vehicle with two other ase certified technicians, and discovered no logical causes for such a shake, but proceeded to retorque every nut and bolt under the vehicle along with adding a new heavy duty steering stabilizer, per dodge dealer suggestion. to no avail, the problem still persists. i can no longer allow my six month old daughter to ride in my truck for fear of death wobble occurring. i refuse to allow my wife to drive my truck for fear of her safety. make this situation right with ram truck owners, before it takes a life. *tr | |||

| While driving my 2011 ram power wagon from speeds of 35mph to 70 mph any small bumps in the highway or expansion joints in the road put this vehicle into an extremely violent wobble with uncontrollable steering issues. i immediately brought vehicle to dealership and dealership had said they never heard of this, they agreed to replace the steering damper and the problem still persists. i'm a professional driver of fire apparatus and have never been as deeply concerned about my safety as now driving this truck. i looked up on the internet and there are countless wobble issues associated with ram 2500 and ram 3500 trucks. i am not positive if my local dealership understands the severity of the situation. this can and will result in injury or much worse, death. please address this issue in a timely manner to protect not just the thousands of dodge owners but the innocent bystanders on the same road with this truck. | |||

| While traveling 5mph or less in reverse while turning the driver's side tie rod ball stud sheared off causing the left wheel to be without steering. this happened two days after the vehicle was at a dealer for a safety recall related to the same components. the dealer advised me my vehicle did not have the affected parts that needed replaced and said they made a torque adjustment. when the failure happened the vehicle was towed to a different dealer for repair, who stated the first dealer had likely done something improperly or inadequately during the recall inspection. | |||

| At normal driving speeds, when a bump or expansion joint is hit, a violent shimmy occurs in the front end. the way to make this stop is by hitting the brakes lightly bringing the speed down. the steering feels loose. it's happened 6-8 times in the last 5 days. the truck sways back and forth, this is a serious potentially dangerous issue. | |||

| My truck has been to the dealer numerous times to correct a shimmy or as the service writer called it a death wobble the dealer has felt the issue and on numerous occasions tried to fix it. including aligning the vehicle out of factory specs on the advice from the ram engineers. they have also swapped the steering stabilizers with a heaver duty one from the 1 ton ram 3500. neither fix has worked to correct the shimmy or the slight pull to the right. the truck is flat out dangerous to drive and i did not realize how bad until i was towing a 5200lb boat at 65 mph. neither the weight or the speed should have been a problem for this 3/4 ton truck but after driving over an expansion joint the truck started to shimmy and that combined with the trailer sway almost killed someone. the only reason someone did not die in that instant is i was the only person within a mile. if someone would have been in the left lane i would have taken them out with a truck and trailer that was nearly uncontrollable. | |||
