My truck was included in recall: the federal safety agency campaign id number : 07v038000 which states: remedy: dealers will replace the front hub and bearing units... However, when the dealership performed the recall (daimler chrysler recall no. G02) they listed no replacement parts related to wheel bearings, it appears they merely added more lube to the bearing housings. Searching dodge's recall database for my VIN now shows that recall completed. Did the federal safety agency leave it to the dealers discretion to decide if they wanted to replace the front hub and bearing units vs. Just put a bit more grease in them? Or did the federal safety agency direct them to replace the hubs?
2006 Dodge RAM 1500 suspension complaints
Page 5 of 5: complaints 101 to 106 of 106, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge 1500. While driving 55 MPH the vehicle hit a separation in the road and the passenger rear tire went into the next lane causing the contact to temporarily lose control of the vehicle. The contact regained control of the vehicle and proceeded to drive. The dealer was unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle has not been repaired. The failure mileage was 23,500, and the current mileage was 25,000. *ak the consumer stated the rear suspension locked up for the 4th time. The consumer and passenger were injured. Updated 03/30/07.
Massive vibration at speeds of 80 km-100 km in the rear of the truck, left side of box shakes over all bumps. Replaced 3 tires , vibration still there .
The vehicle has a vibration mainly between the speeds of 55 to 60 MPH. However I have noticed the vibrations at other speeds as well. The vibration is significant enough to shake the vehicle occupants. The first visit to the service department I was told one wheel was found out of balance and the problem was remedied. On the way home the vibration was still present. I immediately called the service department and brought the vehicle back. The service manager rode with me and indeed acknowledged there was a problem. During this second visit it was determined all 4 tires were not within acceptable limits and replaced. (mind you the tires only had approximately 1600 miles.) after driving with the new tires for a few days the vibration still persists. I took the vehicle in for a third visit to the service department, however the service manager could not duplicate the problem and I was sent on my way with no attempted remedy. I have been researching the problem, and have found nearly 40 other consumers complaining of the same vibration on their 2006 dodge rams. They have also not had any success at fixing the problem after as many as five visits to their respective service departments.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving straight and at more than 40mph the vehicle veered toward the left or right. While attempting to straighten the vehicle it veered toward the opposite direction. The vehicle was taken to multiple dealerships on six different occasions. Although, the vehicle alignment was readjusted four times the problem still continued. The manufacturer was alerted. Ak
Dt*: the contact stated while the vehicle is turning left, there is a rubbing noise in the front end. The dealership is aware of the noise, and the manufacturer is currently designing a repair.
