“Similar to online reports of past Dodge ram truck death wobble, truck wobbles and shakes dangerously despite numerous fixes and adjustments to tires/alignment and other. Tire rod snapped off, luckily while not on the freeway. We had to have it towed out of our driveway and had to stop mid-trip on our way to wyoming to purchase new tires. Ram 3500 2010.”
NHTSA complaint #11013008, filed 2017-08, 117,000 miles“Traveling on highway between 60 to 70 miles an hour driving over a rough part of road, pot whole, or bump the front tires start wobbling severely causing loss of control of vehicle until I reduce speed to 40 miles or under then I'm able to steer off to side of road. Have to come to a complete stop before tires stop wobbling I've been to dealership four times and spent over 5000.00 dollars and the problem still exist”
NHTSA complaint #11206960, filed 2019-05, 116,000 miles“I received my recall notice n49/NHTSA 13v-529 a few months ago. When I took my truck in for service I asked them to check the recall. They said it would be 4 to 6 months for parts. I called Dodge and they said there is a restriction on these parts. It is summer travel time and I wanted this done before my trips when hauling a 34 foot trailer. Why send out recalls when nothing can be done about it?”
NHTSA complaint #10609254, filed 2014-07, 26,000 miles“I have had my recall notice for months now and Dodge is not even supping enough parts for us to get our trucks fixed. This recall may be one that gets someone killed if they donot take care of it soon and not a year or two later. Are you all aware that they are not getting the parts to us for this important repair. What can you all do about it and are you doing anything to stay up with this and telling them about it to?”
NHTSA complaint #10565066, filed 2014-02, 81,000 miles“There has been a recall on my truck, dec 2013. Left tie rod ball stud. I have taken to rotolo's Dodge dealer in charleroi pa for inspection and repair. Dealer said it needs repaired and I was placed on a list of thirty. And would be given a call when Dodge sends them the parts to repair. That now has been four months. Am I going to die because Dodge will not get the parts to fix my truck? Can you help me. Why is Dodge dragging this out?”
