Problems with 2014 RAM 2500 STEERING

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

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.

Your recall remedy for 19v-021 is unacceptable. the solution of welding the drag link adjuster nuts to the sleeve, permanently renders the vehicle from being properly aligned forever. the only way around this is to break the welds, adjust the steering sleeve and then welding the nuts again. this is an unacceptable solution as most alignment shops do not have welding equipment to do this, thus potentially placing the vehicle occupants in danger again. your agreed solution does absolutely nothing to address permanent fix and was nothing more than a way to mitigate cost for fca. this permanent fix needs to be installation of the redesigned part or reimbursement for the purchase/installation of an aftermarket part that will not suffer the same potential failure as the part under recall.

Fca has issued ram recall v06. then they tell us that there is not a fix to the recall. so what good does it do to issue a recall if the issue can't be fixed. someone needs to pressure fca to issue the fix. i talked to three ram dealers and they all say that yes, there is a recall v06 but they do not have a fix for it yet and they can only wait for fca to issue a fix to them. seriously...it does no good to issue a recall if the vehicle can't be recalled and fixed.

I noticed my steering wheel was off center. also the electronic stability control system was going off repeatedly. i took it to a dealership for inspection and they found no "codes" in the computer and could not get the esc to go off while driving. they neglected to notice my steering was off center. they said nothing was wrong with the vehicle and to just turn off the esc and if it went off again to stop and turn the truck on and off again. i had the wheels aligned thinking this was the problem. the truck seemed sensitive while driving over bumps in the road but i didn't realize the issue. a few days later while driving on the interstate at 70 mph the truck began to shake violently and would not stop until i reduced the speed to 20 mph. it was extremely dangerous and hard to drive or steer while it was shaking. it did this again 3 more times. i kept the speed at 55-60 mph and was able to get the vehicle home without incident. i took it in to the dealer the next morning and they drove it barely a mile and the steering almost completely failed. i could have had total steering failure and lost control of the vehicle. my truck has approximately 64,000 miles it is 3 years old and it has never been wrecked.

In the 2014 ram 2500 the steering drag link nut that adjust the steering wheel comes loose and will over time cause the steering wheel to loose its position from center. the steering link is badly designed and allows for the steering to go off center causing the truck to turn very hard right, to compensate the steering wheel needs to be held in the 10-11 o'clock position to drive the vehicle straight. the steering and alignment can straighten the wheel, but over time the lock nuts come loose and the truck will turn hard right. the dealerships do not know how to fix t the problem after several service appointments and ram customer care doesn't know about this problem and are non responsive to the issue. this problem has been going on for ~10k miles.

I have contacted the dealer on 3 occasions to have the r46/nhtsa 15v-541 safety recall corrected and they continue to state they have no estimation of when they will have the parts to correct this hazard. i use my truck to haul an rv and i am concerned that this part could fail during towing. this issue is causing me to not use my truck for its intended purpose.
