Driving down the road the truck shakes so bad you have to get stopped before it goes away. Almost felt like I was going to flip the truck

The contact owns a 2012 Ram 2500. The contact stated that the rear axles seized and the rear tires slid while operating the vehicle. The vehicle slid off the road due to the failure. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The dealer was not contacted. The contact was a mechanic and diagnosed that the vehicle needed a fill plug and new gear oil. The vehicle was not repaired because the contact did not have the proper fill cover for the fill plug. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 50,000. The VIN was unknown.

I noticed for 6-8 mos steering issue to the left, called dealer said nothing wrong. At various times a strange clunking clicking left front wheel area as decelerating and turning left weight to the front. Now choppy tire left front as there are no ball joints it appears tie rod is bad or something. While pulling into a turn the other day August 17,2015 the veh pulled heard the clank again and the steering pull caused us to strike fixed object. Dealer says not affected by recall, but we have all the same issues, and noted for awhile steering at intermittent times problems... what can I do very afraid to drive as we drive interstate often with loads, we need the vehicle but it seems to have the same issue as recall even though our VIN shows different plant, but what do we do just be killed first? help please.
