Ram 3500 pulling problems

Filed Aug 18, 2026 · Steering, Suspension · PA

Pursuant to a manufacturer-issued safety recall (V06) on a steering assembly component, the manufacturer's remedy permanently damaged an otherwise functioning, adjustable steering component and created a financial barrier to basic vehicle maintenance. The component, post remedy, now would have to be replaced in order to allow adjustment to put the vehicle steering system into correct alignment. Driving a vehicle without proper front end alignment can cause premature tire wear contributing to tire failure and/or pulling to the right or left contributing to a possible accident condition. The manufacturer is refusing to pay for the replacement parts/repairs that, but for the recall remedy, would be necessary.

The rear driver’s side and rear center seat belts no longer latch. When sliding the belt into the recepticle it fails to “click” or connect. The belt pulls right back out. It does not work at all, it is reproducible every time. The dealer will charge a lot of money to say that they ran diagnostics to tell me what is obvious, so I have not brought it in yet. This is a serious safety risk since the law requires passengers to wear seat belts for safety reasons and this basic safety equipment fails. The vehicle is less than 4 years old and the rear belts have not been used all the time as there were not always passengers. Also, there is no damage to them. I would like it fixed asap and believe the equipment is faulty since two of the three rear belts have failed.

In August 2021, my truck started pulling to the right and bouncing. I took to dealership where got vehicle. On September 1,2021 they rotated front tires to rear outer spots. The truck stopped pulling but still bounced. A week later went to Dr. appointment and when got back the tire that was on right front and moved to right rear outer spot had a knot in side wall as well as wire sticking out. There was only 17,479 miles on the truck at the time of rotation. I had that tire taken off and spare put on. Truck still bounced like bad tire still on rear of it. Then on October 20,2021 the other tire that was moved from left front to left rear outer tire split in the tread and blowing out. I contacted the dealership about the issues with the tires but they said it's the customer's responsibility to file warranty claims. In trying to find a dealer of Nexem tires, which I've not been able to in this area, I found a lot of complaints on these tires. Now it's going to cost me almost 2000.00 dollars to replace all 7 tires.
