Two problems related to body have been reported for the 2010 Dodge Ram 2500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I was driving in my truck with my friend on sr 101. Approximate speed was 60 mph. We went around a bend in the road over a concrete bridge expansion joint where the pavement changed levels. The truck jumped and began violently vibrating and forced me into passenger side guard rail of the bridge. The vibrating continued until I slowed down to approx 10 mph. The problem I thought was fixed with new steering stabilizer and shocks, a. K. A. The death wobble has returned. After research on the internet, I called my local Dodge dealership with skepticism. He knew of no recalls and it would not be covered under warranty. I do not feel safe in the vehicle and do not want my family riding in the truck. I have escaped injury to this point. This is my 1st posting. Please help. What should I do?.
From statement of operator "while performing road maintenance activities I was driving up a grade at low speed while in four wheel drive and in low gear. The first indication of a problem was a sudden burst of smoke from under the hood accompanied by the engine oil light coming on. I tripped the hood release, went to the front of the vehicle to open the hood. The smoke from the engine compartment prevented me from safely locaing the hood release. I then retrieved the fire extinguisher from the vehicle and applied it the best I could to the engine compartment. At the same time another employee retieved an additional 2 fire extinguishers from another forest service truck and applied their contents in a similar fashion. The application was insufficent to extinguish the fire. Over the subsequent half hour to 45 minutes the vehicle became fully engulfed in fire. The second operator said when he seen the smoke he ran up to the fron side of the truck and could see flames in the engine compartment and at that time they tried to extinguish the fire using 3 5abc fire exinguishers. After depleting the extinguishers they moved back and unhooked the rock rake they were pulling and waited for the fire response to arrive at which time the vehicle was totally engulfed.
