2011 Dodge Ram 2500 Owner Complaints

Steering dominates the complaint picture for the 2011 Ram 2500, accounting for the large majority of what owners report. The most frequently described problem is a sudden, violent front-end wobble, often called "death wobble" in owner accounts, where the steering wheel shakes so severely that drivers struggle to maintain control, typically triggered at highway speeds. Owners describe the front end oscillating rapidly with little warning, sometimes requiring them to slow significantly before the shaking subsides. Electrical complaints, while lower in volume, form a secondary pattern centered on the integrated power module (TIPM): owners report multiple electrical functions failing simultaneously, fuel pump running continuously, interior lights, horn, cruise control, and key fob response all cutting out at once. A smaller number of engine-related reports describe the truck shutting off unexpectedly while moving at speed, then restarting normally afterward.
