Exited freeway on offramp, came to an intersection waiting to turn right. When i started right turn, i noticed that the steering radius appeared to be blocked or significantly diminished as i couldn't adequately turn right, and was leaning hard on the wheel, so the turn was too wide given the loss of steering to the right. The steering returned to normal operation after the vehicle continued straight.

I called my dealer about a recent recall notice i received in the mail. They informed me that they would be welding the threads on my center drag link. This prevents the steering wheeel from ever being adjusted after an alignment. This now creates another safety issue with a steering wheel that will be way off center. So much for the 1- & 2 positions. This so called fix is is a disgrace! It calls for welding an…

The recall on the drag link by welding the nuts on the adjustment bar is poor repair procedure. Can't find an alignment shop to undo the welds and center steering wheel. Told they won't accept the liability

I have tried many times to get these numerous safety recall complied with and get no follow up from my local dealer! I took it in for a scheduled appointment and was told parts were on order. It's been far to long, i have checked in numerous times and get no help. Please find a place that can make my vehicle safe or make them buy it back from me! I don't want to die, or kill an innocent family! *dt*jb

Fca completed a sub-par repair on a defect related to their recall notice v06. This 'repair' was completed on my new 2018 ram 2500 power wagon prior to me taking delivery of the vehicle (i am the 1st owner). The 'repair' relegates what is designed and required to be an adjustable steering drag link into a fixed, non-adjustable component by welding the jam nuts to the adjusting sleeve. By doing so, future steering…

I received a safety recall notice via mail. Drag link v06/nhtsa 19v-021. Responded to dealer for information regarding repairs. Was informed that the fix for this recall is welding the lock nuts to the adjuster sleeve. This is no fix. This is a farce, this will eliminate the ability to adjust the alignment in the future. There should be parts replaced. Not welded together. I do not accept the fix for this issue.
