Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“While driving at 60 MPH, the truck began shaking violently and it was extremely difficult to steer. Once I reduced my speed down to about 30 MPH the truck came under control again. This has now occurred on three separate occasions. I had it into a dealership the first time and they found nothing. Going in to a different dealership tomorrow as there is something wrong. This is a definite safety issue.”

“I've had the drag link recall done on my truck at the dealership and I didn't have any idea what they did to fix it till I started seeing posts online about welding the adjusting link on it. Well my truck is dragging to the right and needs an alignment, and I know if I take it somewhere, they'll have to cut that weld to properly do the alignment, and I don't want to do that. I would like to see the entire drag link replaced so nothing has to be welded together and keep me from getting it aligned.”

“I have a 2014 dodge ram2500 truck, there was a safety recall on the welding on the front suspension track bar frame bracket that was improperly welded during the manufacturing process. The fix was to have a bracket placed with one 60-70mm long m10 bolt with 1.5 pitch threads, one m10x1.5 pitch thread nut, three m10 flat washers I brought my truck in because it start popping every time in turned either right or left I was told that the recall fix had expired there no warranty on this to fix it now. So I'm confused it a safety issue and not covered under the recall?? …”

“Driving in my neighborhood about 20 MPH coming up to a stop sign hear this howling noise if you will. Then when I hear it instantly something grabbed and locked and stopped me! I've been having issues with my transmission slipping, well not slipping but between gears. Like the rpms were going up but nothing was moving. I'm not talking about the RPM gauge on the truck going up, it's just a rev up sound. Then will catch and go I'm guessing it's all with the transmission. I'm just glad I was only doing 20 MPH instead of hwy speed when it locked up”

NHTSA complaint #11278356, filed 2019-11, 129,000 miles

“Ram had previously issued a recall to weld the drag link component of the steering system. Ram called this recall number v06 and my truck has been completed. However, this recall requires a weld to the adjusting sleeve of the drag link, however, with this weld, as the drag link goes thru normal wear, you cannot complete a full wheel alignment because its welded. Without a complete alignment, tires will still wear prematurely and need to be replaced. Just replaced mine to the cost of $875 and am not happy about it. Recall was completed on 6 may 2019 and had to replace my tires a year later. …”
