I bought my 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 in June/06. Within a month of driving, keep in mind the roughest terrain this truck has seen is my front lawn, I heard knocking coming from the front drivers side and through the steering column. After several trips to the dealership for diagnosis, finally I found a tech that would acknowledge the noise and subsequently target a faulty tie rod end. The part finally came from the factory floor five weeks later and I was told it would be another two weeks as they have to test and inspect the part because they have been found to be faulty right out of the factory....WHAT! I couldn't believe it! They know there are faulty parts and continue to put these parts on new vehicles coming of the floor? Can you say liability? Regardless the part was installed and the noise went away for about three months and guess who's back? That same god damn noise. I have had it and I am taking Dodge to court over this problem along with several other problems with the truck. Someone needs to hold these idiots accountable if they are going to continue to knowingly install faulty parts on vehicles people are assuming are safe.
