Problems with 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 STEERING

Death wobbles: i have replaced upper and lower ball joints with problem solvers. replaced the tie rods and ends. replaced the stabilizer shock, replaced the track bar rubber bushings, replaced the otter universal joints on the aam 9.50 14 bolt electric hubs. new shocks all around. drove to salt lake city and the death wobbles came back have to pull off the hwy and come to a stop while it is shaking the truck apart. 15 times from idaho.. this is a major safety problem the steering box has problems and it is not listed under any recalls. new alignment also. new transmission, at 163,000 boiled over onto the turbo, the dipstick never fit in the tube and fluid caused the truck to catch fire. 3 years ago.

The steering wheel is suddenly very loose and there is a clunk under the driver's side when i turn the wheel from right to left. this issue came out of nowhere. i do not drive the truck often and i did not notice any incidence of note; there was no time when i noticed a sudden bump or clunk in the steering wheel. it came on gradually, but rapidly. these symptoms seem to align with a prior recall on this vehicle concerning the left tie rod ball stud, which can fracture at low speeds without notice, rapidly becoming dangerous for the occupants of the vehicle as the steering wheel can become inoperable.

The passenger side tie rod fell apart. the ball separated from the body of the tie rod. this happened at low speed as i was veering to the right, resulting in a loss of steering. there were no warning signs that this was about to happen.

Death wobble, drag link failure

I was going 65 miles per hour on the freeway when my truck violently shake back and forth so hard i had to come to a complete stop to get it to stop. i've had the front suspension replaced 3 times in the past year and still have what they call a death wobble. i have spent so much money on rentals and on shop repairs trying to repair this problem and still cannot go over 40 miles an hour without it violently shaking. this is dangerous to my family it could kill somebody and i think dodge should be responsible for taking action on repairing this or figure out the problem . i have called dodge and they have told me it is not a recall so they cannot help me out. i had bought brand new tires a brand new drive line along with replacing the front suspension 3 times now and i still cannot drive my truck without it causing violent shaking. it has 87,000 miles on it has never been in an accident so i cannot figure out why this started happening but i think that it should not be okay to have this truck ...

The right (passenger) lower control arm ball joint failed while traveling approximately 30 miles per hour. the failure was a separation of the ball and bolt from the cup that is pressed into the cup. total control of the truck was lost and a minor accident occurred when the truck ended up on a median with the left (driver's) tire on the median and the other tires on the road. the median is approximately 16 inches above the road bed. the ball joint is part of the steering mechanism. the steering arm ended up pushing the right tire out at 45 degree angle outside or to the right. the left front tire was at a 45 degree angle to the left. the vehicle was on a city street nearing an intersection to a 55 mile an hour highway that the vehicle was about to turn left on. the driver reported a shaking of the steering wheel similar to a flat and began to slow down when control was lost due to the mechanical failure occurred. had this failure happened at highway speeds, the dodge ram would have rolled. the ...

My front left tie rod in my truck broke causing extensive damage. it punctured a tire in the sidewalk which is not repairable , cracked a wheel which they do not make anymore so need to replace 4 to match and bent or broke every single component in the steering linkage setup. i have made numerous attempts for some help and have gotten none. i have sent multiple emails with no replies, tried the chat system on the mopar site and the person (alex av1129 employee number) was of no help either. i have purchased a steering linkage setup from les schwab for $649 before i knew this was a past recall issue. i never got any notification for the recall or did i get offered the buy back option. i also called mccord dodge in longview washington explaining my issue and was told by a lavonya in the recall dept there's nothing she can do this is an issue between you and chrysler not you and mccords. i also asked lavonya my address on file and she read it exactly and i received no notification from them either. she was quite rude. she told me most people do ...

Loss of steering control while driving. as a last minute thought i decided to stop at a convenience store before heading down the highway, down a hill which had a sharp u shaped turn at the bottom. when making a right hand turn into the parking lot the steering wheel became disengaged and began to spin completely around without any control. had i continued on my way i hate to think how i would have survived what waited at the bottom of the hill. i'm not a mechanic but it seems the steering rod bolt was not installed properly and was not completely through the holes to the connection. thankfully, i had turned into a parking lot when it lost connection. i'm sure this has something to do with recalls: n62, n49, l16, h46, h36.
