Description of the problem | Brand new vehicle with less than 1,000 miles on it has a violent shake at highway speeds between 62-72 mph. Three different ram dealers and ram customer support team states that there is nothing wrong with the vehicle and it's operating as designed. Potentially a safety issue as the shake seems to make the truck unstable at times. This is occurring specifically on smooth highways and seems to be even worse around curves. Seems to be a fairly common issue among late model year ram heavy duty pickup trucks and should be worth an investigation. I purchased this vehicle to tow my travel trailer with my entire family in the truck and i'm not comfortable doing that with this defect. |
