general problems of the 2007 Dodge Ram 2500

The frame has rusted completely through on both driver and passenger sides. The integrity of the frame is severely compromised and may collapse at anytime. This type of failure could be absolutely catastrophic to everyone who may be involved. It has not been confirmed by a dealer, nor has it been inspected by any others yet. It but was inspected by a ase-certified mechanic and confirmed. I am a disabled veteran, and I am not even sure how to move the truck with its condition for further inspection. The truck is currently available for inspection at my residence. I purchased the truck in July, 2019. I was unaware of the extent of the rust until this past year. I noticed a small hole in the frame, and currently, the frame looks to be missing 20% of its circumference.

Vehicle cuts often without any indication that anything is wrong. It does it any speed and there is no power steering, no brakes. This happened the first time at freeway speed and nearly caused a rear end collision because of the sudden and nearly uncontrollable stop.

Vehicle intermittently and randomly shuts off at speed or stationary. Has happened numerous times at busy intersections and on highway. Power steering and braking power is lost.

Reference the below complaint, and others: date complaint filed: 03/02/2015 component(s): power train , suspension date of incident: 10/01/2014 NHTSA id number: 10691476 driving approximately 50 mph on winding two lane country road, while executing curve to right, after passing over a slight bump in the road, front suspension entered what is commonly called a " death wobble". Steering quickly became ineffective, braking was diminished due to loss of firm contact between front tires and road surface. Wobble is regenerative in that it continues to get worse until vehicle speed is reduced to 15-20 mph. I was unable to precisely control direction of travel, crossing into oncoming lane before reducing speed enough to regain control. Vehicle shakes so bad as to dislodge items from the dash and console pockets. This event repeated several times at a particular spot on my way to work, where there was an irregularity in the roadway on a straight section of paved two lane road. Behavior was the same as described above. The last even was while pulling a twenty two foot trailer on a major interstate, while negotiating a right hand curve on a down hill merge lane at freeway speed of approximately 60-65 mph. Again I was unable to maintain my lane of travel and a crash would have resulted if any other traffic had been near me! definitely a saftey issue! local dealership assured me a new steering damper would cure the problem. (it didn't) I eventually fixed the problem myself by researching what other owners had done online (there is a lot of info on this issue!), and replacing the pitman arm, drag link, tierod, and adding a steering shaft stiffening brace. The drag link, tierod and tierod ends were a mopar part kit. Much heavier construction than the original part. Response to a known issue? this issue makes the truck nearly un drivable.

I have owned this truck from day one. 2007 Ram 2500 4x4 quad cab 5. 9. 50,000 miles. Truck has been pulling to the right for a while. I took vehicle in for alignment at dealership. They set it to specs. Brought it back about 40 days later to realign, still pulling to the right. Service advisor said that I needed to buy an offset ball joint in order for them to get more adjustment and to correct alignment at a cost of $622. 00. Said that this is common problem. I called & emailed Dodge/Chrysler asking why I would have to buy a part to correct a stock factory item. They called dealership to verify problem and told me what the dealership said it needed and that was all. Consumer shouldn't have to buy aftermarket parts to fix a stock item.

The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Ram 2500. The contact stated that both the front driver and passenger side brakes would smoke excessively. The first time the failure occurred, the contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was told that the calibers would seize and create the smoking. The calibers were replaced but the failure persisted. The dealer then replaced the rotors but the repair did not correct the problem. The vehicle had not been taken back to the dealer. The failure mileage was 120,000 and the current mileage was 122,000.

Tl the contact owns a 2007 Dodge Ram 2500. While driving 55 mph, the steering wheel became difficult to steer. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact turned on the emergency lights and coasted the vehicle over to the side of the road. The contact depressed the brake pedal, but it failed to stop the vehicle. The contact shifted into first gear and was able to stop the vehicle. An independent mechanic arrived at the scene and diagnosed that the water pump failed. The mechanic also stated that the bearing caused the serpentine belt to detach. The serpentine belt needed to be replaced. The independent mechanic replaced the water pump and the serpentine belt. The contact took the defective water pump to albany Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram (located at 2315 santiam hwy se, albany, or 97322, (541) 967-9105). The contact was informed that the water pump was defective and the design was different. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 25,426.

I was involved in an mvc the middle of February, and my abs did not work. All I could hear was the tires sliding. Could not hear the sound of or the feeling of the abs working. I also tried to see if they worked when we had the last snow. The same thing happened. My wheels locked up and I just slidded. My vehicle is an 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4. It is in the shop now for the repairs from the accident. I told keene Dodge in jarrettsville I wanted the abs checked, and told them the same thing I told you.

Violent shake in front end after going over bridge tires bouncing no control had to slow down to 25 mph to stop it changed shocks stopped problem for a few months but kept coming back its called the"death wobble".

My 2007 2500 4x4 diesel 6. 7 has been a headache since the beginning . It has stalled several times the check engine light comes on for a short while then goes off . But the other day I was in a tight situation, when I stepped on the accelerator hard , a car pulled in front of me I immoderately stepped on the break , and northing was there , it wet all the way down to the floor then after a second or two it started jumping as the anti lock brakes started to work,this was a close one I couldn't of slide my wallet between my truck and the car that pulled out in front of me . This truck also has the worse ride on concrete freeway paving . It bounces in a un stable, most irritating way ,on asphalt freeway it is very smooth, until you hit a bump and it shimmy's in a un safe felling like it could loose control, I am happy with the power of the motor when its got a full load going up hill. With that exception this is the worst over priced truck I've ever owned , ill never buy Dodge again.
