I hit a medium size bump in a construction zone on I-70 east in ohio and the steering wheel started shaking violently from side to side, the truck was shaking violently and I had to drop speed from 55 to 30 to regain control of the steering wheel, I almost caused an accident next to me and from behind. I am an active ohio firefighter and ex-ohio law enforcement officer, this problem needs to be addressed by dodge. I just came back from getting repairs on a recall for the tie rod assembly at thomas chrysler in st. Clairsville ohio. Someone is going to die with this problem and that's to high of a price to pay to resolve this problem. Please have this investigated.

This government vehicle has been deemed 'unsafe' to drive due to the affected unavailable parts. I have checked with the dealership to see if the parts can be brought from another location, to no avail. This vehicle has been 'out of service' for months while we wait for the part. It is our only longbed truck and used heavily during the current fire season. It is necessary to get this vehicle back in service and feel this is an unacceptable length of time to wait.
There was a safety recall on my dodge pickup - safety recall number n62 / the federal safety agency 13v‑528. The recall notice was for a left tie rod and issued in january 2014. Reported calls to multiple dodge dealerships have not been productive since they all repeatedly state that they do not have the parts for the repair. My truck's front end now shakes and makes a loud noise as well as the steering wanders and is not safe. I have no alternative but to take the truck to a private shop to get the truck fixed as it is a severe safety hazard and is unsafe to drive and I need to use the vehicle as it is my only mode of transportation. They stated that they will not reimburse me for the work and were not amenable to travel a few miles to drive the vehicle to experience the issues, for which they still don't have parts to fix. Calls to dealerships and to dodge have not proved fruitful; they don't care about consumer safety or inconveniences. I want to be repaid for the work that is to be performed to make the vehicle safe again.

Violent shake in front end after going over bridge tires bouncing no control had to slow down to 25 MPH to stop it changed shocks stopped problem for a few months but kept coming back its called the"death wobble".
2007 dodge ram 2500 - while driving approximately 50 MPH the truck wheels go into what is referred to as the "death wobble" as it's described as both front tires are bouncing up and down like a basketball. The driver has very limited steering control while this is happening resulting in a serious automotive accident. There was a recall on tie-rods but the dealership did not replace the defective tie-rods. I took the truck to a local garage specializing in front wheel alignments and tie rods. This is extremely dangerous and dodge should be held responsible and liable for this defective design and part.
We received a notice in the mail regarding a national recall on our vehicle. We had the vehicle inspected by our local dodge dealer and were told we would be called when the parts come in. To date (over 1 month now) we have not gotten this recall part fixed, nor have we heard anything from the dealer. Appx 2 weeks ago we made a follow up phone call to the dealer and were told that parts had still not arrived as there was a shortage of parts available. What in the hell could be taking the company so long to resolve this issue. In the recall letter it specifically states that :this could cause a loss of directional control and/or crash without warning. We have two small children. Should any accident occur as a result of this issue I will personally sue the [xxx] out of whomever is and whomever is even moderately close to being responsible for the defects of this truck. Period. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I was driving along the interstate around 65mph and hit a small bump in the road and all of a sudden my vehicle started wobbling all over the place. Had my wife and 5 month old baby in the car and finally was able to pull off the side of the road, but while doing that almost sideswiped a few vehicles and semi truck. I believe I was lucky with this. I have heard there is other people who has similar incidents to mine.

2007 dodge ram 2500. Consumer writes in regards to left tie rod ball stud recall issues. *smd the dealer informed the consumer, the parts were on backorder.
The steering linkage in the ram broke. Luckily it happened in a parking lot and not on the freeway. The ram had to be towed. At the time the owner of the mechanic shop where the truck was towed noted that there have been problems with the steering linkage in other rams he serviced. He suggested we go with a different brand part to keep this from happening again. The recall notice came asking that if the problem was serviced prior to the recall notice that we send in the receipt for reimbursement. We sent in all the proper documentation. We were informed over the phone though that our claim was not to be reimbursed since we did not use mopar parts (which was not a requirement stated on the recall). Our reimbursement was rejected even though there was a issue with mopar parts and we chose to use a part that did not have a history of breaking. We don't feel we should have to pay for this problem.

I have been notified of the recall on the left tie rod end (n62 / the federal safety agency 13v‑528). I spoke with my local dealer on 01/13/14 and was put on the list for repair. The dealership stated that I was number 35 on the list and they were completing 1 recall every 7-8 days due to lack of parts. Now I am told this recall has been put on hold and will not resume until 6/14. This delay for a recall is alarming. 'the left tie ball stud on you truck may fracture under certain driving conditions. This could cause loss of directional control and/or crash without warning.' the tie rod end on my truck has fractured once all ready less than 1 year ago. Fortunately there was not a wreck or injury due to the loss of the ability to steer the vehicle. I am now having to replace another steering component linkage on the same truck that is not affected by the recall and the mechanic is having problems locating parts to complete the repair. Again if this tie ball stud would fracture it would result in loss of steering control.
