I have 2000 dodge ram pickup that has four wheel drive and 37,000 miles on the odometer. At approximately 15,000 miles, I began to notice a clunking sound coming from the front of the vehicle and it became hard to keep it from wandering. I used the internet to find ways of checking the front end components and found that this is a common problem with these trucks. Using the information that I found on the internet, I have determined that the ball joints, trac bar, and steering stabilizer are all defective. Likewise, the transmission is starting to give me problems in reverse gear. I have collected information that shows all of these problems going back many years. How can a manufacturer be allowed to continue making faulty products knowing that they are jeopardizing the safety of people? I cannot afford to get this truck fixed and am afraid to drive it. Is dodge being held accountable for repairs since this is a safety related issue that they have known about for years?

Pulls to one side by model year
What owners say
Steering in my 2000 dodge ram 1500 4x4 is very unsafe. It is not responsive, and seems very loose. It has been this way since the day I purchased the vehicle, and the dealer says this is "normal". The truck will wander all over the lane, and when I try to correct it, goes completely the other way, and this to me is dangerous. There is lots of play in the steering wheel, and again the dealer tells me this is "normal".
Consumer states he is having front end problems where the vehicle would pull to the right while traveling, consumer was informed that uneven tire wear was caused by not having the tires rotated, the tires were replaced and now the vehicle pulls to the left.
