This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Driving down road, loud bang in back of truck, started running funny and weird actions when giving gas, braking, etc...felt mechanical, not engine problems. Lifted rear tires off ground, put in drive and could hear the loud clank, clank in rear end. Opened the cover and found large pieces of metal in bottom/magnet. Had to get new gears. If I would have been going fast or tried to drive a distance it could have been dangerous.
Front end vibrates when in four wheel drive and accelerating fast. Dodge dealership states its normal on truck (basically it wasn't built right but Dodge doesn't care). Showed me another 07 Ram 1500 did the same thing.
While driving at about 65mph, my passenger side front wheel came off the vehicle. I was involved in a solo spinout, accident due to the wheel coming off. The cause was determined to be the lower A-arm of the suspension failing, and letting the ball joint fall out of place. When the wheel was recovered from the accident, it still had the stabilizers attached, along with the ball joint, and various parts of the steering, and 4WD. The accident caused me to hit a guard rail at 65mph, at a 45-degree angle. Amazingly, my airbags did not deploy on impact. I suffered whiplash due to the impact. The point of impact on the truck was the front passenger side.
