While driving city speeds ABS and parking brake warning light appear for 10 sec and then turn off. Did not affect driving. While driving at any speed over any size bump, front end makes significant clank, bang, wobble noise. Can't locate issue, nothing is loose. Replaced struts, problem persists. Seems to be coming from front passenger steering/suspension area. While driving at any speed when applying the brakes, significant shaking while braking. Several obd codes; improper oil weight, have used manufacture recommended oil for every oil change. Oil is changed every 6000 miles or 3months. Obd code; low voltage. Obd code; transmission overdrive clutch.

The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500. While driving approximately 55 mph in the snow, the steering capability was lost and the front wheels turned in opposite directions. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the contact's home where he discovered that the driver's side front tie rod was fractured. The vehicle was not taken to an independent mechanic or dealer for diagnostic testing and repairs. The manufacturer was contacted, but was not able to verify if the VIN was included in NHTSA campaign number: 09E001000 (steering) because the computers were down. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.

I'm not starting from the complete beginning I'm starting from when it place the worst took to Dodge cuz I had dying problems stalling out if I was driving to and from work mind you I drive 600 miles at a time one direction way home one night vehicle stalls out pulled to side of the interstate the vehicle starts back get down the road and it just stutters a little so I keep going get done with a little further they completely dies while I'm going through North Carolina to Tennessee the gorge as they call it no place on the side of the road semi beside me semi behind me no pull off to the left either hit a pot hole truck dies luckily in running about 90 mile an hour put the truck in neutral crank it no crank no start crank it again it starts popping in gear scared as hell get to the nearest gas station in worries that something else is going to happen to the truck trying to make to safe place I finally make it home truck did that couple more times on the way and stall out. I took it to Dodge and they said it was the tipm well have them fix it got the truck back no fix there they did get two codes for the tipm problem on that day ended up being the ignition coils all of them had to be replaced prior to all this I had already been having stalling problem not dying Chrysler dealer in greensboro North Carolina look at my truck fan diagnostic said it was low amperage or something like that can't remember you can get ahold of him if you would like so they said replace the alternator and the battery so I did then the story I just stated took place. Now again location greensboro North Carolina going across intersection rear end goes out the only reason the truck even moved anymore is because it's 4-wheel drive I drove it almost 5000 miles like that before I could afford a new rear end to put in here. I could keep going but the problems of this year model. Multiple dates

Vehicle currently has 60,000 miles on it. Already had to replace the entire front suspension. Transmission has a clunk and lunge after stopping and before taking off. All services maintained and fluids are new and clean, at appropriate levels. Dealers believe it to be a software issue.

Takata recall having many issues with 2007 Ram 1500 4X4 quad cab. Transmission isn't acting right. Something wrong with driver front wheel assembly, can not pump more than a few cents of fuel at a time when fueling. And just recently I could not get it over 30 miles an hour. Engine did not rev seemed as if not getting fuel.

Ram 1500

  • 140,000 miles
Three sets of rotors and brakes in two years, 4WD auto light flashing and works intermittently(just started plus electrical noise in dash and heat stops blowing. Sounds like it's going to start on fire. I have to get to work so I have to drive it.(I have five kids a crabby wife and a granddaughter to feed), tie rod on drivers side went bad. So I had everything replaced. I've sunk allot of $$ into it and can't afford another penny. I'm concerned of all the complaints saying the computer goes bad causing the actuator to go bad as well. I hope it lasts long enough. Perhaps you should just start a go fund me page to Chrysler owners lol. It's a shame because it's a beautiful truck.
