2007 Dodge RAM 2500: loss of power steering

Filed Oct 26, 2026 · Steering · CA

On September 3, 2026, the vehicle was being operated under normal and intended driving conditions when the Front Heavy-Duty Adjustable Track Bar suddenly and catastrophically failed and/or broke and/or snapped. A track bar is a critical safety component responsible for managing lateral axle movement and maintaining steering alignment. The instant this heavy-duty component snapped, the front axle completely shifted out of alignment, causing an immediate, total loss of steering control, and violent vehicle instability. As a direct consequence of this component's structural failure, I was unable to steer or safely control the vehicle, causing my vehicle to veer dangerously into the opposite lane and into oncoming traffic.

Vehicle cuts often without any indication that anything is wrong. It does it any speed and there is no power steering, no brakes. This happened the first time at freeway speed and nearly caused a rear end collision because of the sudden and nearly uncontrollable stop.

In motion on hwy at 55-60 MPH coming out of a right turn. Right side tires entered a dip in the road and heard a metal bang sound. Truck began to rock from side to side, up and down violently causing loss of steering control while the whole family screams. Braking made it worse. Coasting to below 50 MPH corrected the rocking. Found the electronic sway bar hanging loose below truck. Suspension bracket for sway bar was broken at rear bolt location and bent down. Dealership states left front ball joints need replacing also and may have contributed to loss of control. Dealership said nothing is covered under previous recalls 11v350000 or 13v528000. $3400. Estimate.

The tipm (total integrated power module) failed while the vehicle was being driven. The vehicle lost steering control, and braking control when the tipm failed to work. The engine died, while in motion, causing a very dangerous situation. In researching the tipm issues, I have found that there have been several recalls and a class action lawsuit against chrysler for tipm failures. When I contacted the dodge customer service center on october 19, 2015, I was told that since the vehicle was out of warranty, they were no longer responsible for the vehicle. The customer service representative stated that he was unaware there was an issue with the tipm module. This is an outrage that dodge wont even acknowledge the issue, or attempt to make it right with consumers who experience issues with the module. It is very unfortunate that someone will have to be hurt or killed before chrysler will be held responsible for their known faulty parts. The issue with this part is that it runs all of the major electrical components of the vehicle, and its failure can occur while the vehicle is in motion, which happened when my wife and 9 year old son were driving down the street. Once this part fails, there is no other option than to replace it, and without the tipm, the vehicle is inoperable. Hopefully chrysler / dodge will realize the error of their ways, and recall all of these faulty units before someone is hurt.

Recall notice n62/the federal safety agency 13v‑528 left tie rod end may break while driving causing lose of steering and may result in accident??wow now you would think dodge would make this a priority to get fixed?? So I have emailed dodge several times about getting this fixed always same answer do not have parts, been to local dealer doing the same, got the same answer no parts to fix vehicle??? Well lucky it broke on my street turning truck around to back in my driveway, steering linkage pushed into my left tire 6" so side wall belts are now broke but it was also causing my new tires to wear out faster on front of truck even after alignments done, so after a year my truck is still not fixed and is sitting at hall jeep/ dodge and no fix for it due to no parts available. So no I am less my truck and need to borrow a vehicle just to got to work, I find this a huge problem not only should I have a rental vehicle that matches my vehicle but want two new front tire now also why cant they get the parts I can order all parts needed right now online or go pickup locally and get my truck repaired but getting my money back for repairs will be a huge issue because after market parts?? Really be better parts in my eyes being I would get heavy duty parts for replacement parts so no more front end issues I am done with dodge and trying to get a truck fixed that should have been done months ago with no hassle period!! Oh and to top it all off the dealer gives me number to dodge roadside assistance to tow my truck to dealer less than a 1/4 mile form my house they want to charge me $73.00 for the tow?? Um your recall issue and your tow problem I am not paying a dime being you cant get parts to fix my truck and when its now broke and has no steering dodge want me to pay for a tow bill ya ok good luck on that too...really wish could up load pictures its a site to see linkage stuck in my tire....

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.
