2017 RAM 2500 Steering Problems, Complaints and Defects

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	My vehicle was included in safety recall v06/nhtsa 19v-021 and i believe the fix for this recall was not a sufficient long term solution. The fix for this recall was welding the nuts on the drag link. For a temporary fix this is sufficient, however, for a long term solution the part should be replaced. Welding the nuts reduces the ability to utilize not ram/dodge dealers as companies do not want the liability of cutting the welds and rewarding the nuts in order to perform an alignment, which is needed for vehicle safety. Additionally, grinding and welding the drag link removes structural integrity over time due to metal being lost and new metal not sitting flush as it should. The inability to utilize non ram dealers for future repairs due to the liability issues with grinding welds and re-welding coupled with premature wear and non oem fitment with future welding/grinding make me believe ram must replace the drag link for a long term solution.
