The main problem with this 2000 ram 2500 4 whdr cummins diesel, quad cab, truck is the chrysler design defective front end. In my case, the trac-bar. This, in my area is a $439.00 plus tax item, the dealer steals another $75.00 plus taxes for installation. Two bolts hold this device in place and is only a 15 min repair. The trouble is in 30,000 km the new trac-bar has failed making it a chore to keep the truck between the lines. You dart all over in your lane depending on the pavement ruts and general pavement condition. I can see this design defect causing added stress and problems to the ball joints. This defect is a chrysler problem and all costs to cover repairs should be covered by the manufacture and not the customer. This, and the other many, dodge front end problems I feel is just cause for a recall order.

I have had numerous problems with this vehicle but I am only concerned about the steering safety concern. I have been trying to have it fixed through a chrysler dealer but they have run out of ideas. It seems that in the slightest wind or passing truck the vehicle gets thrown in to anothe lane or shoulder. I am informing you because there may be other owners who have the same problem and could be in great danger.. Thanks.
