I PURCHASED A USED 2000 DODGE RAM 2500 4X4 A FEW WEEKS AGO. SINCE TAKING OWNERSHIP IT HAS BECOME EXTREMELY CLEAR TO ME THAT THE STEERING QUALITY OF THE VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY POOR. THE TRUCK WANDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD AND REQUIRES AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF CORRECTIONS. I HAVE HAD NEW TIRES PUT ON AND AN ALIGNMENT DONE. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I HAVE LET OTHERS TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND THEY ALL ASK WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE STEERING.

CONSUMER STATES HAD FRONT END COLLISION AT 30MPH AND NEITHER AIR BAG DEPLOYED, CAUSING INJURIES. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. TS

2000 DODGE 2500 DIESEL TRUCK - TRANSMISSION GOES INTO NEUTRAL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT SIX TIMES IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS, INCLUDING ONCE WHILE PULLING A 30 FT. CAMPER. I NEARLY LOST CONTROL ON A WET ROAD ON A HILL IN PA. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES. THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE ANY PARTS BECAUSE NO CODES SHOW UP WHEN IS PUT ON THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE. THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY AFTER LEAVING THE ENGINE OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES. IT HAS NOT FAILED NEAR ENOUGH TO HOME AND WHEN THE DEALER WAS OPEN. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE A FATAL ACCIDENT BEFORE THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED.

ABS FAILURE AT SPEED OF NO MORE THAN 35 M.P.H. STOPPING DISTANCE WAS SUFFICIENT FOR SPEED BUT, UPON DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THEY IMMEDIATELY LOCKED UP, CAUSING THE TRUCK TO SLIDE.

MY 2000 MODEL DODGE 2500 3/4 TON PICKUP LOST IT'S REAR AXEL UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. IT HAS CAMPER PACKAGE WHICH INCLUDED A SPECIAL HELPER SPRING ON THE REAR SUSPENSION. MY INSURANCE COMPANY HAS INFORMED ME THAT THE U-BOLTS HOLDING MY REAR END ON HAD BROKE FREE OF THE SPRING ASSEMBLY. CAUSING MY TRUCK TO ROLL SIDE OVER SIDE AND THE COME TO A REST ON IT'S PASSENGER SIDE. THE REAR AXLE WAS FOUND 100 YARDS AWAY FROM THE TRUCK.

THE TRUCK BEGAN TO GET LOOSE. I NOTICED THE BACK OF MY TRUCK START TO COME AROUND AND THEN WHEN I TRIED TO COUNTER STEER I LOST CONTROL AND ROLL SIDE OVER SIDE ONTO THE MEDIAN. THE REAR AXLE SEEMED AS IF IT HAD SHIFTED BACK ON ONE SIDE CAUSING IT TO SWING THE BACK OF THE TRUCK AROUND. LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT ALSO NOTED THIS TO BE VERY POSSIBLE DUE TO THE ACCIDENT SCENE. MY INSURANCE COMPNAY NOTED THAT THEY BELIEVE THE U-BOLTS FAILED AND ARE CURRENTLY SENDING THE TRUCK TO CHICAGO, IL FOR AN EXTENSIVE INVESTIGATION INTO THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE.

SINCE WE PURCHASED THIS VAN, WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL THE STEERING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT SWAYS CONSTANTLY AND THE STEERING MECHANISM IS UNABLE TO COUNTERACT THIS. IT LITERALLY IS ALL OVER THE ROAD WITH THE SLIGHTEST BIT OF WIND. WE HAVE A STABILIZER BAR INSTALLED IN THE FRONT. IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY AND MUST BE KEPT IN THE OUTER MOST LANE SO IT WILL NOT SWAY INTO THE GUARD RAIL OR ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE DEALER HAS LOOKED IT OVER AND HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANY DEFECTS. NONETHELESS, WE PURCHASED IT TO TRANSPORT OUR YOUTH GROUP AND OTHER GROUPS IN THE CHURCH TO AND FROM EVENTS.

I HAVE HAD ALL KIND OF PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING ON THIS TRUCK. IT STARTED AT 6941 MILES TO MUCH PLAY IN STEERING. A DODGE DEALER IN CRICLEVILLE, OHIO REPLACED THE TIE ROD-DRAG LINK. IT DIDN'T HELP. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AT 16000 AND ASKED HIM TO DRIVE THE TRUCK. WE WENT DOWN A STRIGHT ROAD AND I TOLD HIM TO WATCH HIS HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL. HE WAS MOVING THE WHEEL ALL THE TIME TO KEEP THE TRUCK BETWEEN THE LINE ON THE ROAD. HE SAID IT WAS NORMAL WITH THE DODGE RAM. I WAS MAD WHEN I LEFT THE DEALER BECAUSE I NO BETTER. AT THE TIME I WORKED FOR A SEMI TRUCK MANFACTURE,KENWORTH IN CHILLIOTHE, OHIO. WHEN WE WOULD TAKE THESE SEMIS FOR TEST DRIVES THE STEERING WAS EXCELLENT. NO PLAY AT ALL.AT 22986MILES I DROVE THE TRUCK TO ANOTHER DEALER IN COLUMBUS, OHIO. SAME PROBLEM BUT THEY INSPECTED AND REPLACED THE STEERING COLUMN. NO HELP.

THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN OF THE DANA AXLES IN WHICH CROSS CASTER ADJUSTMENTS CANNOT BE MADE. I HAVE FOUND THAT ALL ALIGNMENT SHOPS TRY TO ADJUST THE LOWER CONTROL ARM ECCENTRICS IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS, THEREBY TWISTING THE AXLE TO FORCE THE CROSS CASTER ANGLE. FROM WHAT I HAVE FOUND OUT (SEE HTTP://DODGERAM.ORG/TECH/SPECS/00_STEER_SPECS.HTML) THIS FORCEING OF THE LOWER ECCENTRICS IS NOT THE WAY TO ACHIEVE CROSS CASTER ADJUSTMENTS. THE LOWER ECCENTRICS ARE FOR CASTER ONLY AFTER THE CROSS CASTER IS SET. I RECENTLY FOUND RECALL #861ON THESE AXLES. MINE MISSED IT BY 6 DAYS. I COULD NOT HELP BUT WONDER IF A RUSH TO CORRECT THE SITUATION AND STILL MEET DEMAND MAY HAVE LED TO SOME BEING BUILT OUT OF SPECS. NEVER THE LESS, THIS TWISTING AND FORCEING CANNOT BE GOOD ON THE VERY AREA THAT THE RECALL WAS ABOUT, THE RIGHT LOWER CONTROL ARM BRACKET. MY PRIVATE ALIGNMENT SHOP COULD NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP WILL GET IT BACK NEXT WEEK FOR THE THIRD TIME. I HAVE DISCUSSED IT WITH THEM AND I AM ORDERING AN AFTERMARKET PART TO REPLACE THE UPPER BALL JOINT THAT WILL ALLOW THEM TO ADJUST THE CROSS CASTER. THIS WILL NOT BE COVERED BY WARRANTY. OUT OF MY POCKET, A GAMBLE WITH THE WARRANTY, BUT I HAVE TO HAVE A VEHICLE I CAN HOLD ON THE ROAD. NOTE: THEY ARE ALSO ORDERING A NEW STEERING BOX. I AM NOT SURE IF IT WAS REALLY BAD, OR AFTER DAYS OF TRYING TO FORCE AN ALIGNMENT THEY FIGURED TRY THIS. WHEN READING ABOUT THE STEERING BOX, KEEP IN MIND THAT THE PREVIOUS SHOP C
