ON SEPTEMBER 1,2015 AT 9:15 PM WHILE DRIVING BACK FROM NASHVILLE TN TO PA. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I NOTICED THE DEF GAUGE HADN'T MOVED . SO I PULLED OVER TO CHECK THINGS OUT AND MADE IT TO A GAS STATION AND BOUGHT SOME DEF AND TRYED TO FILL IT UP BUT THE DEF TANK SEAMED TO BE FILL. I TURNED THE TRUCK ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES TO SEE IF THAT WOULD MOVE THE GAUGE AND RESET THE ENGINE LIGHT BUT IT DIDN'T . THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON MOST OF THE TRIP BACK. THE NEXT MOURNING ON SEPT 2, 2015 I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO DEALER AND SHOW THEM THE PICTURES AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED . THEY SAID TO BRING IT BACK ON THE FOLLOWING TUESDAY AND THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT AGAIN. I DROPPED THE TRUCK BACK OFF AT NAPLETON AT 9:00 AM ON TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 8, 2015.I AM WAITING TO HEAR BACK.

DRIVING 60MPH WITH A SMALL LOAD ON 16FT GOOSENECK STOCK TRAILER. LOAD WAS 2000 LBS. HIT A ROUGH SPOT IN THE ROAD, STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY, PULLING ME INTO THE OTHER LANE. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC. APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE LATER, I HIT ANOTHER ROUGH SPOT. THIS TIME, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK SO VIOLENTLY, THAT IT ALMOST PULLED MY HANDS OFF THE WHEEL. THE FREQUENCY OF THE SHAKE WAS REDUCED AS I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN, BUT THE VIOLENCE OF THE SHAKE SEEMED TO INCREASE UNTIL I HAD SLOWED TO ABOUT 15 MPH. ROAD WAS STRAIGHT, WEATHER WAS CLEAR AND ABOUT 90 DEGREES.

2013 RAM 2500 MEGACAB 4X4. PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 1 MONTH AGO. NOTICED WHEN DRIVING OVER 60 MPH THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK BEGINS TO SHAKE. THIS CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT PASSENGER SEAT TO VIBRATE UNCONTROLLABLY SO THAT YOU CAN VISABLY SEE IT AND FEEL IT. THE TRUCK IS IN PERFECT ALIGNMENT WHEN YOU LET GO OF THE WHEEL, SO ITS NOT THAT. SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO THE STEERING OR SUSPENSION. THIS IS VERY ANNOYING AND IM WORRIED IT COULD LEAD TO SOME TYPE OF STEERING MALFUNCTION, RESULTING IN A WRECK. DEALER SHOWS NO PROBLEM WHEN INSPECTED.

ON MAY 26, 2015 AND BEFORE THIS DATE AND AFTER THIS DATE THE MOLDING IN THE DOORS BOTH FRONT AND BACK DOORS WOULD FALL DOWN OR COME APART FROM THE SIDES AND WHEN YOU GET OUT OF THE TRUCK OR OPEN THE DOORS TO GET IN THE TRUCK TO GO SOME WHERE YOU WOULD HAVE TO TRY TO REALIGN IT TO GET IT BACK ON. YOU WOULD DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD AND HEAR WIND COMING THREW AND HOWLING IN THE CRACKS.
