Steering failed, truck was having a thumping on right front area, but it was not the tire, it cause me to lose control while steering, the truck was totaled, it rolled over three times, the front driver airbag did not deploy, was saved by my seatbelt, the truck rolled to the right hitting on the passenger side, it had only 44,000 miles, I noticed this problem and took it to be inspected but nothing showed up as it was blamed by the person who drove it as my tires being rough, I already owned them for over a year with about 5000 miles on them and it was not the tire, it was faulty linkage for steering, caused loss of control and this truck was highly maintained, and before I could get a second opinion it was wrecked, as other drivers and other Dodge trucks have faulty steering linkage problems, this will cause more accidents for other owners, after the wreck I could see that the linkage was damaged but since it rolled three times the insurance company can not say what exactly cause the sudden loss of steering, the linkage components are not right Dodge needs to recall these trucks.
