2005 Dodge Ram 2500

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING A 2005 DODGE RAM 2500 WHEN THE FRONT LEFT TIRE BLEW. FOR A FEW SECONDS HE WAS ABLE TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE TRUCK BUT THEN IT MADE A SUDDEN JERK TO THE LEFT AND PULLED HIM OFF THE ROAD, HE FOUGHT IT FOR A FEW MORE SECONDS UNTIL IT DID THE SUDDEN JERK THING AGAIN TO THE LEFT AND HE SLAMMED INTO 2 OAK TREES WHERE THE SEAT BELT FAILED AND HE WAS EJECTED FROM THE TRUCK. AFTER IMPACT AND ME RUNNING TO THE TRUCK I NOTICED HE HAD BEEN EJECTED, BEGAN LOOKING FOR HIM THEN THE AIR BAG WENT OFF. THERE WERE SEVERAL THINGS WRONG WITH THIS WHOLE THING AND I AM JUST NOW GETTING A RECALL NOTICE ON THE LEFT TIE ROD BALL STUD.WHAT ABOUT THE SEAT BELT AND AIR BAG DELAY? IF THIS IS WHAT CAUSE THE SUDDEN JERKING TO THE LEFT NOW ALL MY QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED. JUST WISH IT WOULD HAVE BEEN RELEASED SOONER MAYBE I WOULDN'T BE A WIDOW AT THE AGE OF 41! *TR

STEERING WENT OUT AND TRUCK ROLLED. VERIFIED PER MECHANIC FAILURE ON RECALLED PART/S

THE TRUCK WITH ATTACHED TRAILER WAS PARKED ON AN INCLINED DRIVEWAY. THE TRUCK WAS PLACED IN PARK AND THE KEY WAS REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. I PROCEEDED TO LOAD A COMPACT TRACTOR APPROXIMATELY 2500 LBS. THE TRUCK STARTED TO ROLL DOWN THE HILL AND CRASHED THRU A FENCE DOING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK. I DID NOT TRY TO START THE TRUCK AND WAITED FOR MECHANIC TO ASSESS ANY MECHANICAL DAMAGE. THE MECHANIC CAME TO MY PLACE AND WHEN HE GOT IN THE TRUCK THE TRANSMISSION INDICATED THAT IT WAS STILL IN PARK. DODGE TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS TYPE VEHICLE WITH THE TRANSMISSION NOT HOLDING. THE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT THERE HAD BEEN SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH GAS POWERED ENGINES BUT NOT THE DIESEL. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS CAN BE EVALUATED FOR RECALL. NO ONE GOT HURT IN THIS INSTANCE BUT CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK MECHANICALLY AND COSMETICALLY.

DODGE DEATH WOBBLE HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES THE LAST TIME IT BROKE THE TIE ROD END AND THREW ME OFF THE ROAD

MAY 2018, PUT TRUCK IN PARK AND LEFT IT RUNNING TO GO IN TO GET SOMETHING. WE WERE IN AN RV PARK AT THE TIME. A MINUTE OR SO LATER, IT WENT IN REVERSE AND BACKED INTO A TRAILER CAUSING DAMAGE TO BOTH. GEARSHIFT SHOWEDIT WAS STILL IN 'P'. ALARM HAS SINCE BEEN PUT IN UNDER RECALL E17 AFTER WE REQUESTED IT. (HAD ASKED WHEN AIR BAGS WERE CHANGED OUT IN DECEMBER 2017, IF ANY OTHER RECALLS, AND WERE TOLD NO). A DODGE REP CAME ON JUNE 12, 2018 AND LOOKED AT THE TRUCK. AS OF 12/10/2018, WE HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF RESULTS.
