Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Steering has horrible vibration and wobble at 19 MPH. Seems to be getting worse. Have already replaced two steering gear boxes on 2006 Dodge RAM 2500 diesel. Still not fixed. With recent news on Dodge rams; I am surprised they have not looked at this model years as well as many model years are having same issue. Beginning to be nervous driving the vehicle and the history of this issue with other models and really afraid the shaking is so serious it will eventually cause a wreck or loss of life. This is the 3rd report from me already. …”

NHTSA complaint #11296951, filed 2020-01, 175,915 miles“When driving at highway speeds and hit a bump in the road the truck shakes violently, causing loose of control to a degree, while trying to slow the vehicle down. At approximately 30 MPH mark the shaking stops and driving can continue as normal until the next bump, at which time the process starts over. This is a major hazard if anyone is behind you the potential of being rear-ended is great as you have to greatly reduce speed to regain control of your vehicle.”
