Heard noise coming from the left front wheel area so took it into a non Dodge dealership and was told that my tie rods on both sides were completely shot and needed to be replaced. I was told by Dodge that they had a kit to replace both sides because it was a known problem but that there was no recall. Had pretty much the whole front steering done. The technician who worked out it said it was so bad that my steering could have gone out at any minute. That is really terrifying since I have a family and we tow a trailer with quads. To top it all off Dodge Chrysler said they will only possibly reimburse me for the part but no labor since a Ford dealership did the work even though I called Dodge ahead of time and there was no recall. The report date on NHTSA says 11/6/13 so I am confused why d

Right outer tie rod end fell apart causing loss of steering. Vehicle pulled hard left however I was able to safely stop without hitting anything. The truck did not show any early warnings and had regular preventive maintenance. I did keep the failed part and that of my fathers, which failed about 5 weeks after mine. That makes a 100% failure rate of the same part on our two trucks which is very disturbing! As soon as we are able we are going to replace all factory tie rod ends on these trucks. Our Dodge dealer had inspected the left side of this truck in july and said it was safe. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 Dodge Ram 3500. Immediately after purchasing the vehicle in july of 2007, the contact noticed that the catalytic converter warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel. After the illumination, the vehicle stalled. The dealer repaired the vehicle and they replaced the diesel particular filter. The dealer showed the contact how to reset the computer in order to restart the vehicle whenever it stalled. Recently, the vehicle was towed to the dealer because the exhaust system needed to be fully serviced and repaired. Approximately one week later, one of the truck drivers had to avoid crashing into a school bus because the vehicle stalled again. The vehicle was driven to the dealer and they stated that the diesel particular filter was defective. The ma

I was driving my truck across country and the power downgraded. I took it to a Dodge service dept and they told me my exhaust catalytic system was 90% plugged and it would cost over $6000 to replace it, but because of the nationwide problem with the catalytic system, there would be at least a 2 week wait to get the parts. I managed to drive it back to my home Dodge service dept. They gave me the same prognosis but only ordered a particulate filter, costing over $3000. Again, because of the high demand, I had to wait for the backordered part. I was also told that because of the faulty catalytic system, there would be carbon buildup on the EGR valve, exhaust brake, and turbo that would suffer damage and would need to be cleaned regularly, taking a mechanic over 6 hours of labor to do so each

Truck shakes so violently after hitting a bump and going 50mph or greater. I have to slow down to almost a complete stop before it stops shaking. It has happened many times.

After 12,000 mores miles the engine quit on the highway and the fuse box caught fire this time. I raised the hood and saw sparks jumping around and a flame in the box with a lot of smoke. I quickly disconnected the battery and put out the fire. *tr
