2006 Ram 3500. Premature shoulder wear on driver front tire. Took to local mechanic and he states worn tie rod assembly to blame. Truck pulls to left and now tie rods, ball joints, u-joints, and front tires need to be replaced. Contacted Dodge January 3rd 2014 and was told recalled left tie rod assembly had been placed on order for me. Had the truck inspected by local dealer and was told they were only getting 1 tie rod a month and that I was on the waiting list. It is now April and replacement piece is still not available. I need the tie rods replaced before I can by new tires because the truck will not align with the worn out pieces that are on the vehicle now. Dodge refuses to reimburse for aftermarket parts and the customer is left holding the bag. It is going to cost me over $1600 for repair work to be performed and at least another $600 new front tires at the very least. Was hung up on by Dodge recall customer service line. No one can even tell me where I am on the waiting list. Horrid customer service. I guess Dodge will wait until they kill someone before they truly get concerned with this issue.

Contacted the dealership and was told the parts were not available currently, but we would be notified as soon as they were. After several months, calls to the dealership, and compaints to Chrysler - we are still awaiting parts to address this recall.

When driving vehicle if you hit a small bump or larg bump the truck starts to shake and you have to stop in the road. I have repaired all of the steering linkages,tie rod ends,stabilizer shock and even taken the truck to dealership for the recall but they told me my truck was not one in the recall. I would like for someone to tell me what is wrong with my truck before someone gets killed driving a defected vehicle.

Very lucky to be alive. Driving my 06 Ram 3500 on a surface street next to a ups truck approx 25 mile per hour. Just gone through a traffic light and reached a bus stop area where people were waiting for a bus on curb. My truck right side tie rod snapped, and my truck starts to shake violently pulling me to the curb where the people were standing. I could not steer to the left very much because of the truck next to me. I had to brake very hard to keep me from going up onto curb and killing people. Luckily my truck just skinned the curb and bounced back on the road just missing the people and the back end of the ups truck next to me. I have had many problems with my truck shaking after hitting small pot holes or uneven roads at most speeds. I have had 4 alignments since I bought this truck. Gone through 2 sets of front tires before buying rear tires. Well I installed new steering linkage and bought a double steering dampening shocks to help with the shaking. Had truck realigned after accident. Well 3 months later truck started shaking again and my tires are wearing uneven again. Had alignment checked again and was out of alignment. I don't use truck for off road driving, just everyday driving to work and towing small items. Got a email the other day from Chrysler saying my truck steering linkage was on recall. My repair shop thinks its more then the steering linkage, maybe the pit-man arm too. The repair shop told me that there is a lot of play in it also. He believes its a defect along with the steering linkage. Will bring truck in for inspection at dealer.
