PURCHASED USED 2004 DODGE 3500 AND WHILE DRIVING HOMEDOING 60 MPH I EXPERIENCED SUCH A VIOLENT SHACKING OF THE FRONT END I NEARLY LOSS CONTROL OF MY TRUCK AND STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY. MY WIFE AND I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I LATER LEARNED THAT THIS TRUCK SUFFERS FROM DEATH WOBBLE WHICH DODGE IS AWARE OF.

VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

I HAVE HAD A VIBRATION AND "DEATH WOBBLE" ON MY TRUCK SINCE I PURCHASED IT. IT HAS BEEN TO TWO DIFFERENT CHRYSLER DEALERS FOR A TOTAL OF 5 OR 6 TIMES WITHOUT RESOLUTION OF THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE IS TWO FOLD, ONE IS WHEN I HIT A LARGE BUMP AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 45 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY, AND THE OTHER THIS SPEEDS OVER 60 MPH THERE IS A VIBRATION. I HAVE SPOKEN TO CHRYSLER ABOUT THE ISSUES ABOUT A YEAR OR SO AGO. THEY TRIED TO OFFER BUY BACK BECAUSE THE ISSUE COULD NOT BE RESOLVED, BUT THEN TOLD ME I WAS NOT QUALIFIED BECAUSE I WAS THE SECOND OWNER. I ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE STEERING GEAR BOX REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, AND THEY REPLACED ALL THE TIE-ROD ENDS ECT. THE ISSUES IS STILL THE SAME WITHOUT RESOLUTION. NOW MY WARRANTY IS UP, AND THE TRUCK STILL HAS THIS POTENTIAL DANGERS ISSUES AND I HAVE NO WHERE TO GO. ANYTIME I HAVE THE TRUCK LOOKED AT NOW IT COST ME A LOT OF MONEY. MY TRUCK HAS RECALL 13V-528 AND 09E-001 WHICH RELATE TO THESE ISSUES. THE TRUCK WAS INSPECTED, BUT THEY DID NOT FIX ANYTHING.

STEERING

TRUCK STARTED TO HAVE SEVERE DRIVABILITY PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT END. HAD RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR BOTH THE STEERING LINKAGE AND LEFT BALL JOINT. TOOK INTO DEALER WHO PERFORMED THE PHYSICAL INSPECTION. WAS TOLD THAT OUR VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL DUE TO CONFIGURATION BUT THE WHOLE FRONT END NEED TO BE REPLACED AND ALL PARTS NEEDED WHERE EXACTLY THE PARTS UNDER THE RECALL IF OUR TRUCK HAD THE CONFIGURATION COVERED BY THE RECALL. WE WERE FACED WITH PAYING FOR THE REPAIRS BASE ON SOME TECHNICALITY THAT SOMEHOW OUR CONFIGURATION EXCLUDED US FROM THE SAFETY HAZARD WHICH CAUSED THE RECALL. WE DO NOT FEEL IT IS A COINCIDENCE THAT THE REPAIR NEEDED WERE EXACTLY THE NOW THAT WERE UNDER THE RECALL BUT OUR TRUCK WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. OUR OPINION IS THE RECALL IS TOO NARROW AND THE SAFETY ISSUE IS BROADER THAN HOW IT IS SET UP NOW.

I BOUGHT THIS 2004 DODGE 3500 RAM TRUCK USED IN MAY 2011. I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 DODGE 3500 RAM TRUCK IN TOWN WHEN THE LEFT TIE ROD STUD BROKE. I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN 1/2 BLOCK FROM MY HOME AND AS I STARTED OUT AND TURNED RIGHT THE TIE ROD STUD BROKE. THIS OCCURRED NOVEMBER 11, 2012. I HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO MY HOME USING MY AAA WRECKER SERVICE. THERE IS NO CHRYSLER-DODGE DEALERSHIP IN THE TOWN WHERE I LIVE, SO I WENT TO THE LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE TO GET THE NEW LEFT TIE ROD. THE PARTS STORE DID NOT HAVE A TIE ROD FOR MY VEHICLE AND THE COUNTER PERSON CALLED THE PARTS DEPARTMENT AT LITHIA CHRYSLER DODGE IN BILLINGS, MT AND ORDERED A NEW LEFT TIE ROD, (MOPAR PART NO.68038054AD). I RECEIVED THE LEFT TIE ROD ON NOVEMBER 12, 2012 FOR WHICH I PAID $131.07 FOR WHICH I HAVE THE RECEIPT. I INSTALLED THE NEW MOPAR TIE ROD AND SET THE TOE-IN. I STILL HAVE THE BROKEN LEFT TIE ROD. ON JAN 15, 2014, I RECEIVED THE N62 RECALL NOTICE FOR THE LEFT TIE ROD STUD MAY FRACTURE AND THE RECALL NOTICE ALSO STATED MY VEHICLE NEEDED H46 DONE. I COULD FIND NO HISTORY OF THE LEFT TIE ROD BEING REPLACED, PRIOR TO THE NEW ONE I PUT ON MYSELF, SO I ASSUME THE TIE ROD WAS ORIGINAL FROM THE FACTORY. I DID FILE A CLAIM WITH CHRYSLER (CASE #24530878), BUT THEY DENIED THE CLAIM BECAUSE I COULD NOT PROVE THE BROKEN TIE ROD HAD BEEN REPLACED WITH A MOPAR PART. MY CONCERN IS WHY THE TIE ROD BROKE AND IF THAT MEANS THE FACTORY TIE RODS ARE DEFECTIVE. I HAD RECALLS L16/H46/N62 COMPLETED ON FEBRUARY 26, 2014. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED ALL THE STEERING LINKAGE AND THE LEFT TIE ROD ASSEMBLY.

BILLION DODGE IN BOZEMAN, MT REPLACED THREE COMPONENTS (STEERING, DAMPER AND ARM) ON JANUARY 2, 2014. LAST WEEK I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE REPLACEMENT PARTS FROM DODGE. THIS MORNING, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT BILLION DODGE INSPECTED THE REPLACEMENT PARTS AND DECIDED A REPLACEMENT IS NECESSARY. HOWEVER, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART(S) WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL JULY OF 2015. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART(S) ARE NOT AVAILABLE. (1) THE DEALER INSTALLED THE DEFECTIVE PART(S) AFTER A RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. (2) WE MAY BE ABLE TO HAVE THE PART(S) REPLACED WITH PART(S) FROM ANOTHER MANUFACTURER, BUT MUST PAY FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR OURSELVES. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
