Truck swerved to miss a dear in the road, when turning back, left front wheel came off truck, spindle shaft broke at bearing, causing truck to roll over, truck was totaled and driver injured, a couple small contusions, hit head and bruised elbow. truck had 12000 miles on it. no correction taken, truck is totaled. when wheel came off truck, truck was starting to skid, wheel did not come into contact with anything but the paved surface, was not struck by anything. i believe the spindle shaft failed, witch should not fail under such conditions, i am a certified ford technician. it should take a very hard impact for the spindle to fail if at all. *nm

Since i first bought this truck in 2005 its had a pretty serious problem with stalling out when coming to a stop, and even worse, sometimes mid turn while moving. this is a very dangerous issue since loss of control is eminent in this type of incident. along with this stalling out, the truck has a rough idle/surging idle issue when at a stop. ive tried all types of repairs, and spent alot of money trying to fix this issue with no avail. i took it into dodge after i first bought the truck and they said they could not recreate the problem and everything was fine. i took it in again and they cleaned the throttle body. still same issue. now ive replaced, out of my own pocket, the egr valve, throttle body itself, evap purge valve, and have tried a list of other remedies. still not fixed. after a quick search of many different dodge ram club online forums this is a very very very common issue with these trucks, and all of us owners are fed up. dodge wont take responsibility for this serious issue, and unfortunately people may die because of this. please help us! *tr

I have had (2)two close calls from a 2005 dodge ram 1500 due to equipment failures. (1) the power steering pump failed during a snowstorm and skidded me off the road. (2) recently with just 44,000 miles on the ram the wheelbearings seized and the driverside tire blowout sending me again to the side of the road into a small culvert. even though under warranty dodge is delaying fixing it because i have been complaining about these equipment failures. i've noticed many complaints and even limited recalls regarding dodge wheelbearings being defective. if you are involved with either of these equipment failures you'd know how catastrophic it could be. *tr
