What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ram 2500. While driving 65 MPH, the steering did not respond even when the steering column was moved. As a result, the vehicle drove into a ditch. The seat belts failed to tighten and the contact sustained bruises. A police report was filed and there was one injury that required medical attention. The vehicle was towed to sport chrysler dodge jeep (200 echestnut st, ft bragg, ca), but the failure was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.
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.
