2001 DODGE RAM QUAD CAB 4X4. STEERING WANDERS EXCESSIVELY FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO MAINTAIN A CONSTANT TRACK LINE ON THE ROAD. HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE REPLACED SOME TIE RODS BUT SEEMS TO HAVE LITTLE EFFECT ON THE WANDERING. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS INABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 18,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED.

STEERING IS SO BAD, I'M AFRAID WHILE DRIVING MY 2001 DODGE RAM 2W TRUCK. WHILE DRIVING IT FEEL LIKE YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE CONTROL AND RUN INTO ANOTHER CAR. IT IS A UNSAFE TRUCK TO DRIVE, AND I CAN NOT GET THE DEALER I PURCHASED FROM TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY WILL NOT EVEN SPEAK WITH ABOUT THE PROBLEMS. I HAVE LEFT VOICE MAIL MESSAGE FOR SEVERAL MANAGERS AND TO DATE HAVE NOT RECEIVE A CALL BACK.

VECHILE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AFTER HITTING A MODERATE SIZED BUMP. TROUBLE STARTED AT APPROXIMATELY 18,000 MILES AND WAS NOT SOMEWHAT RESOLVED FOR NEARLY 10,000 MILES. WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND STRIKING A BUMP WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL, THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND START TO LEAVE THE LANE OF TRAVEL. THE SHAKING AND SHUTTERING OF THE FRONT END GAVE A FEELING LIKE THE LEFT FRONT TIRE WAS EITHER BOUNCING DOWN THE ROAD OR WOBBELING. THIS WAS REPORTED SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DEA…
