On 8.20.18 my vehicle going 70mph on the freeway and then made a large sound. I then lost all steering and braking on the highway. I barely was able to pull off without getting hit. After sitting, smoke started coming out of from under my hood. After popping the hood, there were flames down in the engine. I poured the little amount of drinking water on the flames to douse them. The tow truck came and took us to the nearest Dodge dealer (crown Dodge in redding, California). They immediately noted it was likely due to recall T51, where the water pump overheats, breaks the belts, overheats the car and could cause an engine fire. This is exactly what happened. I tried to get this fixed with my local dealer months ago, but they didn't have the parts. I also never recieved any correspondence letters on the recall... I opened a ticket with Dodge directly, they are investigating. This was very dangerous as I could barely control my car at that speed, losing steering and braking.. scary, and then a fire!. ugh...

Steering was nearly impossible, and luckily I was able to pull off and stop. This has occurred several times since. Subsequent contact with two Ram dealerships, this problem seems to be well known within the industry,

Purchased from Dodge new 06/2015, all stock no modifications. Started noticing shaking, drifting while at hwy speeds above approx. 55mph at approx. 20,000 odometer miles. Had tires rotated every 10000 but started noticing wear & cupping on outside edges. I was going to have its first alignment done today because of the tire wear which is now semi extreme at 40000 odometer miles. Looked under truck just today 08/29/2016 for anything loose & found center drag link & both nuts on drag link were loose and spinning freely. There were blue lines on nuts and adjustment rod. I found out that this is a well known safety issue on Ram trucks for years. I think there's more wrong than just this item though. My wife & grandson ride me with me constantly and to think they could've been hurt angers me badly. This truck will be sold asap and I will never buy another Ram because I see they do not care about safety!

While driving at highway speeds (usually over 55 mph) I hit a bump and the front end started wheel hopping violently. It threw me out of my lane and when I hit the brakes I was bounced off the road and on to the shoulder. Thank god no one was beside me as it would have caused a major wreck or worse. Very dangerous situation. Now im afraid to drive the truck on the highway again. Cant believe there is not a recall out on this as it seems pretty popular on the internet. Search "Dodge death wobble"...

After getting an alignment done at the local dealership due to my steering wheel not sitting straight after less than one year of ownership; my steering control rod almost fell apart while driving due to inadequate tightening of the locking nuts.

- Anchorage, AK, USA

The nuts securing the drag link adjustment sleeve worked loose. Because I read about this problem on the internet, I caught it during an inspection before it caused any problems. I do not know how many miles I drove with it in this condition. I noticed that the adjusting sleeve is a very loose fit on the small threads of the drag link bars. I believe the sloppy fit is the root cause of the nuts backing loose.

Steering drag link adjuster is completely loose. Paint marks indicate where it was supposed to be tightened too, but either it was not tightened to torque spec or torque spec is not high enough. I suspect it was hand tightened. Please see numerous similar reports online here: www.cumminsforum.com/forum/2013-general-discussion/1813273-warning-check-your-steering-now.html

Vehicle TPMS on Ram 2500's is set to 80psi for "proper inflation" on a unloaded truck is way to much. When driving durning summer months tire pressure is exceeding max tire pressure of 80psi. No way to deflate tire to more safe pressures without TPMS "light" and "warning indicator" telling you to inflate tires to 80psi. Update TPMS to be able to lower tire pressures to a more reasonable pressure before someone blows out a tire and has or causes an accident.

The truck wanders and does not steer correctly. Lots of play in the steering wheel. When you turn the steering wheel very slowly it wont even turn the wheels. Its a very scary situation that could cause a major life taking wreck if traveling at high speeds. I know multiple people with these trucks that have the same problem and Dodge does nothing about it. Even though under warranty the dealerships just tell us that's how trucks drive and that Chrysler isn't aware of any type of steering issues. The steering components need a recall. I'm apart of a Ram truck forum online and hundreds of people there all have the same experiences. I've owned trucks all my life and never have had a steering feel/issue like this.
