I fought with Ram for a long time over the death wobble of a 2005 truck I bought new. About thirty ball joints and 6 steering linkage later. After 10 yrs and two accidents later which my air bag didn't work. I got a recall for death wobble for the steering recall.
I took it to 4 different dealers and they said my truck was not covered because I didn't buy the steering up grade. After arguing with several reps. I bought the steering upgrade t-bar steering linkage over $500 dollars. Then I asked the for the death wobble upgrade parts. they handed me three ny-lock nuts that didn't come with the kit.
Needless to say the truck went into the death wobble again . After a recent accident my insurance paid for a new steering box. It never steered this good and no shake at all. I drove this truck up until the last accident and could not go over 60 mph. Why didn't ram just replace the steering Box??
While all this was taking place with the steering . I also had my truck back for a recall for the defective Air- bag. 6 visits later and they were still on national back order.
I have been getting phone calls every week for several years . I call back and told them to get the air bag and come and tow my truck and install it. I am not wasting my Fuel and time any more. 3 days ago I called back and gave my name and said F--- You.
Now for the best info yet I didn't mention. This was going on with three Rams One single and two dual wheel diesel's. I sold the dump truck because when ever you filled the truck you could not go over 30 mph. I still have to buy the box for the other dual wheel.
I have been buying a new dodge for over 30 years. I will never buy another one.
My good friend owns a large fleet of service truck. He has had many different makes. He said after looking at service records . His late model Fords have less repair costs. Dodge/Ram are the worst they sit more than they are used. Chevy- GMC are just rust buckets. Doors , Hoods and fenders. His trucks are white as son as they show rust they replace the parts. But that takes the trucks out of service for a week each time. He just bought a New truck for his personal use he bought a new loaded Diesel Ford. Very nice truck
He said he will never buy a ram again. After two with DEF light issues that cannot be diagnosed. And all the drive line and electrical problems and poor service he said he is won't buy a Ram . This is from a guy that orders several service trucks every year
Ram sucks, If you can't do your own work your screwed.
