| Description of the problem | From initial purhase, vehicle has had a bad vibration & shimmy. Mainly felt between 35 mph and up. Severity increases with interstate speeds. Tires and wheels have been ruled out as the concern. Truck has been to dealership 5 times for this concern but once the tires and wheels were ruled out dealership refuses to do any further investigation. The district manager states that nothing else can be done and the concern is normal characteristic of truck. It is my understanding that this is a major concern for a large majority of 09-up ram owners and needs to be addressed further. The vibration and shimmy are severe enough to make my wife and i nauseated after driving down the interstate for 5 minutes. *tt |
