I noticed that when steering was turned hard left or right and you moved forward, there was a clunk sound. I took into dealer, they found nothing, looking at steering rack in pinion. I noticed cracks in the welds on fram where the control arms are. That very next business day, I received recall for cracked weld on track barbracket, I have other areas that have cracked welds. I am a tool and die maker, I have been trying to get Ram to take the truck to see the problem, but have been getting run around. I feel this is a serious safety issue that could cause loss if life. My power wagon was one of the first built, I ordered it.

Ships from the factory with drag link adjuster retainer nuts that do not fit properly and are not fastened tightly. When I inspected the drag link adjuster after 30,000 miles, the passenger side retaining nut had completely backed off from contacting the adjuster sleeve. If not addressed, this could have resulted in loss of steering while the vehicle was in motion.....updated 12/30/15

A week after I bought the truck the problems began, the steering started rattling every time I turned left and on a few occasions it got extremely hard to steer the truck, they rebuilt the front axle once then finally replaced the whole front axle assembly and wiring. The truck shakes bad at 65+ with the factory Firestone tires I replaced them. The A/C vent controls stopped working the motors and heater core had to be replaced. The accelerator/throttle is extremely delayed almost to the point of being dangerous and when you let off the throttle the truck violently bangs into gear. The service def light came on yesterday 12/2/14 with 3/4 full tank. I just reached 8500 miles and these trucks are dangerous I hope Chrysler fixes these nightmare problems.
