What owners report

2026-10-26, Steering
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 la

The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Ram 2500. The contact stated that it was difficult to shift the gear shifter out of park(P).

The frame has rusted completely through on both driver and passenger sides. The integrity of the frame is severely compromised and may collapse at anytime. This type of failure could be absolutely catastrophic to everyone who may be involved. It has not been confirmed by a dealer, nor has it been inspected by any others yet. It but was inspected by a ASE-certified mechanic and confirmed. I am a disabled veteran, and I am not even sure how to move the truck with its condition for further inspection. The truck is currently available for inspection at my residence. I purchased the truck in July, 2019. I was unaware of the extent of the rust until this past year. I noticed a small hole in the f
2023-01-05, Steering
Hit a minor pothole at 70 MPH, had sudden "death wobble" and almost lost control of the vehicle. 100, 410 miles on the vehicle, have had minor wobble in the past occasionally. Steering parts replaced at about 37,000 miles due to failures, installed a steering dampener years ago due to the potential problem, also current tires have less than 8,000 miles on them. Clearly a known danger to these vehicles, why no action?
