Passenger front tire just fell off!

There were no other damages to the vehicle, no collision, and no impact. A tire doesn’t just snap off a vehicle randomly. Anybody have this issue or see it before?

Are you the original owner, or when did you acquire it?

How many miles?

Ball joint broke, It happens.

Ball Joints break, but can't say that I've ever seen a ball joint break at 23k. If there's no other suspension work done to the truck it's obviously unacceptable.

Glad no one was hurt.

I think that brake line was hurt though.

Pittsburgh potholes ? l

I agree its unacceptable but claiming the warranty wont cover the repair.

Were the tires offset? I would expect that question to come up pretty quick.

Glad your ok and nobody was hurt.

no they were not offset

Curious on their justification for saying it's not covered, sounds like it may still be under the 3 yr/36,000 mi basic warranty, depending on when you purchased it.

Based on images and associated damages deemed not a warrantable failure

Glad you weren't hurt, I'm not far from you and some our roads are like fords test track veering around them when I can, looks like the top ball joint let go.

This would be brought to the attention of the local television news also report it to NHTSA. contact Upper management, @RamCares . If this was my truck stealantis would fix this just to get rid of my big mouth, keep up with the noise and they will fix it.

 

[GTyankee]

Who is to say that the dealership even sent anything to Ram Headquarters

Raise a bit of a fuss !

Literally never heard of that happening.

Yeah, on a stock suspension with 24k on the clock especially. I’ve seen a couple let go but they were on modified suspensions with a lot more miles and driven hard.
