What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 dodge ram 3500. While driving at approximately 25-35 MPH, the contact drove over a pothole and the right front tie road failed causing him to lose control of the vehicle. The vehicle crashed into a tree. The passengers sustained injuries to the mouth, face and knee. The vehicle was towed to the contacts home. The contact called the manufacturer and was told that the dealer was privately owned and they were not responsible if the dealer chose not to repair the recalled part.
Today while pulling into a parking stall I had a catastrophic steering failure. The drivers side steering tie rod stud fractured where it bolts into the knuckle. The tie rod dropped between the tire and suspension causing loss of steering control and the left wheel was no longer connected to the linkage. I searched several dodge enthusiast forums and it seems other owners have experienced similar failures.
