Example complaints

“While driving at speeds between 50-70 MPH I have run across small bumps or holes that cause either front wheel to shake uncontrollably causing me to have to reduce speed dramatically or even stop to get it back under control. I understand this is called the Dodge death wobble .”
NHTSA complaint #10908755, filed 2016-09, 36,000 miles“The left tie rod on the front drivers side broke. This was after the part had been recalled in march of 2012 which was taken in and serviced the same month per the notice. I was returning my fifth wheel to storage when the tie rod snapped. Backing in slowly no more than 5 MPH. Needless to say I refuse to tow my 5th wheel anymore with the RAM 3500 as had it broke while on highway at a high rate of speed could have resulted in injuries and potential fatalities. …”
