2009 Ram 2500 Steering problems

be discovered/repaired. The shop replaced a ball joint (left upper); we were hoping that was the cause. After it passed the state safety inspection, I took it out on the same stretch of road where I had trouble earlier and it seemed fine. Then, a few weeks later, the death wobble struck back - this time with my wife driving and our six-month-old daughter in the back seat. It was my worst nightmare that it happened with my daughter in the truck. Young children are so fragile and their brains are still developing. It's a miracle she survived; hopefully she didn't suffer any brain damage that will manifest itself in the future. I found NHTSA Recall ID 11V350000, which pertains to 2003-11 Dodge Ram 2500 trucks. I called Dodge multiple times and spoke with our local dealer. They won't do anything, because "Your VIN doesn't show in our system." To me, this is a documented safety problem that nearly killed my daughter, and Dodge needs to make it right (our truck fit the recall description). I do not feel safe driving this vehicle. Please investigate and use your authorities to persuade Dodge to do the right thing.

is a term that has emerged out here in the real world that best describes this condition, which is "the death wobble". ( See you tube for some good examples). There is also one remedy for this that seems to address the root cause of the problem,(you tube/ big'ol bushing) that being said it should not be the job of the general public to re-engineer their vehicles in order to use them on the public right-of-way. This ram and others have been re-called for failure of steering components,mainly tie-rod ends, no doubt. Take notice of this fact! The problem never was the tie-rod ends, but this incredible oscillation that occurs when the track bar mounting bolts wear out the mounting holes in the brackets to an oblong,non concentric state. This will be an on-going problem for as long as this this design is in service. These bolts are wearing out the brackets which are welded to the frame, making a remedy impossible. I must point out that even after a crash involving one of these units, this can easily be overlooked ,or completely missed as a contributing factor or direct cause of the accident! These vehicles are a danger to the traveling public and should be recalled and retrofitted by the manufacturer or be condemned and placed out of service immediately!
