What owners wrote
While driving wheels on front passenger's side locked up and sheared off. This happened while driving about 70 MPH. Before this happened, truck was pulling to right. Problem was reported to the dealership. Dealer stated that problem was due to after market brake pads. Truck was towed to a garage. Owner still waiting on parts, whole wheel assembly sheared off the truck.
Ever since we purchased the truck used from dodge dealer in tucson arizona we have had concerns with suspension and steering of the truck. When driving the truck steering is bouncy and unstable. We thought it was alignment so we took it in and truck continues the same. When pulling out 34' 5th wheel steering is very shaky and vibrates a lot. After years of bringing up concern with dodge dealer we took to another shop where they gave us a huge list of things needing too get fixed.
