Hello everyone..i will not get on here to rant/rave. I will simply tell everyone that this situation with Dodge has devastated our family. It has left us with no vehicle to get back/forth to work and a $10,000 bill that we cannot afford. I cannot begin to put into words what this will mean if the local dealership does not fix our vehicle. The dealership is "Butler Chrysler Dodge" of Beaufort ,S.C. God Speed everyone Jeff/Michelle

Ram 1500 laramie hemi
I have had soooo many front end troubles,recalls,brakes it is ubelievable!
Everything so far has been covered under warranty but now it is up. I`m worried they won`t cover any futher troubles because the dealer I bought it from the Service manager told me to never bring it back to the dealership for service again.
I have purchased 3 vehicles from this dealer.
I`m having it serviced at another dealer & they can`t find the engine trouble! They want me to pay to have the front end checked with 60,000 KM on it. I know the tie rod ends are loose & it shakes the steering wheel when coming to a stop.
I`ve reported this trouble to a manager at Chrysler & they gave me a service #
This is supposed to be a $50,000 4X4 heavy duty truck & I`m afraid to drive it across an intersection. Like one of members said the roughest terrain is my lawn. The heaviest items it`s carried is my golf clubs. Chrysler better stop begging for money & use good parts to build these trucks & stand behind them when they know they are cheaply made. I`m better off to buy a Suzuki samauri again it had much better quality & guess what? YOU COULD ACTUALLY TAKE IT OFF ROAD!!!!!!!
Update from Sep 9, 2009: After speaking with chrysler mechanics & other people who have the same front end troubles I think I have the solution!
The front end of the 2006 was re-designed for coil over on the 2006 4X4.
The dummies at Chrysler said let`s use the front wheel design from a Caravan it has drive train & rack steering PERFECT!!!!
They forgot the 4X4 option 3:92 posi rear end,20" tires puts wat too much load & strain on engine & front end tie rods,shocks,bearings & power stearing components especially in cold climate like Ottawa Ontario.
When I first bought the truck the rude Service manager & I went for a drive & when put in electronic 4 wheel the thing shakes under power.
No other Dodge Ram ever did this!!
He says oh thats because 4X4`s have a lot of drive train stress.
If Dodge ever came clean they would have to replace the front end to components from a 2009.
Look under a new 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 front end CHANGED!!!
Own up Chrysler all the 2006,2007 & 2008 4X4 Ram 1500`s have the same troubles.
FIX IT OR SOMEBODY IS GOING TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT CAUSING DEATH OR INJURY!!!!
