Rear Suspension Problems of Dodge Ram 1500 - part 2

The rear right tire and assembly broke off my 2002 Dodge ram while my wife and children were on the freeway. This caused the vehicle to rollover. Apparently a problem with the axle. I understand there has been a recall for a weak weld on the rear axle bracket. I never got such recall on my vehicle.

I own a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 2w/d. I have been in discusions with engineers from Dodge who told me the leaf spring vendor produced the wrong spring rate but Dodge put the springs on anyway. The dealer calls the bounce at 65 mph "normal". I informed them that the 2 times I have taken my son on the freeway in the truck he has thrown up. . . They said "normal"! know this; the engineers know what the company did, the company knows, I know, and now you know. Go and complain to your dealer, it's the only way this will go to a service bulletin. On another note, there is a service bulletin to get your rotors replaced for free, they grab incorrectly and cause the shuttering that warps rotors.

Dodge slt-1500 4x4, short bedshops around curves if you hit the slightest bump in roar, bridge or whatever. It seem the back end is to light or something is wrong back there.

My 2002 Dodge ram has several potetial accident, causing problems, one when im driving in the rain or after a rain water in the road it causes m steering to lock up and I cannot steer. I reported this to a dealer in town and the service rep said that the steering will turn into manual drive and seem harder to steer, wow I could not believe I heard that and the problem has never been corrected and I have reported this to Dodge on several occassions. Also when im driving down the road or highway in the 2002 Dodge ram and I run over a small bump such as on overpasses when the bridge portion meets the ground side my truck will lose control sometimes to the point of the rear end attempting to spin the truck around I guess the only thing that has prevented this is the forward movement itself, however I have come upon situations when im turning in a particular direction and a bump is in the road prior to the turn and the truck leaves me limited control as the rear end suspension reacting to the small bump attempts to make the trucks rear end jump and attempt to spend around. This is a very sick feeling and numerous passangers have expressed concern for this trucks fault as they experience this while riding in the truck.

The rear suspension is bouncing while driving the vehicle at 65mph, when the rear tire hit a bump. Dealer has been notified. Please provide further information. Ts.

Rear end makes vehicle bounce when it hits a bump in the road, making it difficult to control vehicle. Consumer states that the bounce is so bad, that the tires seem to leave the pavement, when changing lanes, the vehicle literally jerks consumer into the next lane, the dealer can not find a remedy for the problem.

Rear end of vehicle "dances" at highway speeds when going over even the slightest bumps.

No summary listed for above vehicle.

The vehicle had a sever vibration at freeway speeds. Over time the vibration was so sever it caused sever back pain. After driving the vehicle for six months and having m=no option with the manufacturer I have disposed of the truck. The manufacturer knbows about the problem, and they have not disclosed the issues to the public. The problem also manifested as over steering and extreme reaction to road conditions. Chrysler has now added to their owners manual the suggestion to add sand bags to the bed of the truck to make it " ride better". They are not willing to offer any other assistance. I have many letters to document their position and attitude. Dt.

Serious bounce of rear at all speeds. Will be unsafe on roads with loose material or ice. District rep inspected and says aware of problem. Chrysler cannot fix and is normal for this vehicle. I was told I had no recourse on this problem and that was final.

Since first day of purchase owner has noticed and complained that rear suspension has a tendency to sway when driving on a slump/bump in the road. Dealership is unaware what the cause is. Owner is concerned because his wife is afraid to drive due to erratic handling of vehicle on the road.
