Steering Is Loose Problems of Dodge Ram 3500

Steering became loose and had 1-2inches of slack before guiding the vehicle properly. Replaced with new steering unit. Transmission would not shift into low gear at busy intersection entering freeway. Started in second or third required costly rebuild. Fuel gauge reads empty required new unit in fuel tank.

Driving approx 50mph northbound; heard a loud "bang" - truck started uncontrollable shaking and steering veered into oncoming (southbound) traffic; hit brakes hard and pulled steering to right - did not respond at 1st and then was able to pull off to the right as oncoming traffic had to stop for me - had to then turn steering wheel all the way to left to get truck to quit going right. Exited vehichle, looked under front of truck and right tie rod end was wedged up against inside of rht side tire. . Rht side front tie rod end came loose of socked and dropped causing loss of steering. Dealer did not have parts on hand to repair at that time. Personally went and bought parts and installed. Took to local tire dealer for alighment - could not get steering wheel totally straight and truck now "drifted" while driving. Never, ever, was steering loose on truck. Always tracked straight and true. Tires never wore to one side or other. Said steering box was damaged and could not align withing tolerance. Rec'd recall notice in December and took to dealer. Dearler was able to straighten steering wheel but said truck was still out of alighment due to steering box needing replacemen and stated that steering box was not damaged because of tie rod end coming loose. I absolutedly disagree. Problem did not exist prior to tie rod end falling out of socket and creating a possible fatal injury due to lack of control of vehicle. .

Front end death wobble. All factory recall replacement has been done, but still has death wobble. Non factory mechanic stated truck might need steering bracket because steering box is loose. Feel unsafe while driving truck because of death wobble which causes vehicle to pull left or right.

I went to Chrysler with I thought shock problems . The mechanic told me there was a recall on the steering linkage he tim/ also said Chrysler would only replace one small part but that the other rods and bushings would have to be replaced also because they were part of the problem and if I did not replace rods and bushings they would eventually brake and I would have no steering control right now the bushing are rattling real bad and the steering is loose and walks on the road tim the mechanic said this is one whole problem and all linked together also I have cost guard insurance and since part is on recall they would not pay for the other parts which will cost over 700. 00 I feel Chrysler is responsible and need to pay Chrysler already had one repair on same breakdown last week please check into this for us.
