2014 RAM 2500 Complaints

THE TRUCK WOULD VIBRATE AND SHAKE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OVER 65MPH. I HAD THE TIRES ROTATED AND BALANCED SEVERAL TIMES AND RECENTLY REPLACED ALL WHEELS AND TIRES WITH NEW. THE VIBRATION PERSISTS.

I HAVE A 2014 RAM 2500, THE TRUCK HAS A VIBRATION BETWEEN 68MPH-80MPH. THE DEALER SAID I HAD A BAD UNIVERSAL JOINT IN THE DRIVESHAFT. REPLACED DRIVESHAFT STILL VIBRATES,MOTHER SAID IT'S TIRES. REPLACED TIRES AND WHEELS AND IT STILL VIBRATES. I TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I ASKED THE DEALER TO PULL THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL COVER TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WAS WITHIN SPECS AND THEY REFUSED TO DO IT UNDER WARRANTY AND WANTS TO CHARGE ME. THERE ARE MANY OTHERS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM, YOU CAN FEEL THE VIBRATION IN THE FLOOR, YOU CAN SEE THE PASSENGER SEAT SHAKE, AND SEE BOTTLE OF WATER SHAKE IN THE CENTER CONSOLE. I WILL BE MAKING ANOTHER APPOINTMENT FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE OCCURS AT HIGHWAY SPEED.

TRUCK BED SHAKES VIOLENTLY FROM SIDE TO SIDE AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 60MPH. I'VE TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY'RE SAYING IT'S WORKING AS DESIGNED. THE CAB SHAKES VIOLENTLY DUE TO THE BED SHACKING. I'VE SPENT MONEY GETTING ALIGNMENTS AND TIRE BALANCING OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. THERE'S NO REASON A TRUCK SHOULD BE SHAKING ON THE FREEWAY.

MY 2014 RAM 2500 SHAKES BETWEEN 64MPH AND 76MPH VIOLENTLY. RAM KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT CALLS IT A CHARACTERISTIC OF A HD TRUCK. I AM IN THE TIRE BUSINESS AND HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO RECTIFY IT. I KNOW AT LEAST THREE CHRYSLER SERVICE MANAGERS WHO ARE BEING TOLD TO ACT LIKE ITS NORMAL. I AM FED UP WITH CAR MANUFACTURERS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE. PROOF IS BELOW...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE RAM 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPRINGS WERE DEFECTIVE ON THE VEHICLE. THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE SWERVED FROM LEFT TO RIGHT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH AND WITH THE TRUCK BED LOADED WITH LESS THAN THE MAXIMUM WEIGHT CAPACITY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TIRES MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000.

WHEN ACCELERATING, IF YOU HAVE TO LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL QUICKLY AND TRY TO PRESS THE PEDAL BACK TO GO AGAIN NOTHING HAPPENS. THERE IS ABOUT A 2 TO 3 SECOND DELAY BEFORE THE VEHICLE RESPONDS LEAVING YOU LOSING SPEED. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS, IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT HAPPENS.

OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS, I HAVE RECEIVED (3) VEHICLE RECALLS FROM THE NTSB BY EMAIL. RECENTLY, I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL DODGE, CHRYSLER, JEEP, RAM DEALER IN ELK GROVE, CA, NEAR MY HOME. I DROPPED THE VEHICLE THIS AFTERNOON FOR TOMORROW MORNING'S APPOINTMENT AND I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE AGENT THAT THE WARRANTY MANAGER, LESLIE, SAID THEY WILL NOT REPAIR (2) OF THE RECALLS UNTIL TOLD TO DO SO BY CHRYSLER. I ASKED WHAT WILL THE DEALERSHIP DO IF THEY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND I WAS TOLD "IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO". THE RECALLS REFUSED TO BE CORRECTED BY THE DEALERSHIP ARE AS FOLLOWS: 1/ #15V460, AIR BAG SAFETY RECALL; AND 2/ #15V459, STEERING WHEEL WIRING HARNESS SAFETY ISSUE. I ADVISED THE SERVICE ADVISER I "WILL SUE THEM AND CHRYSLER IF ANYTHING HAPPENS REGARDING ONE OF THOSE TWO SAFETY RECALLS" SINCE THEY REFUSED TO CORRECT THEM. I JUST WANT THE RECALLS CORRECTED "BEFORE" SOME THING BAD HAPPENS AND THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO REFUSE. PLEASE, I WOULD LIKE TO BE CONTACTED REGARDING THIS INCIDENT.

ACCELERATED ONTO HIGHWAY ENTRANCE RAMP AND VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN UP TO 80+ MPH. REQUIRED HARD BREAKING TO GET VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL SINCE THE ELECTRONIC IGNITION WILL NOT ALLOW IT TO BE TURNED OFF UNLESS THE TRANSMISSION IS IN PARK. REQUIRED SUCH HEAVY BRAKING THAT BRAKES SMOKED FOR SEVERAL MINUTES ONCE VEHICLE WAS SHUT DOWN. THIS INCIDENT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURY AND DAMAGE IF IT OCCURRED ON CITY STREETS. TRUCK IS A 2014 WITH 10650 MILES ON IT. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER FOR REPAIR. SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET REVEALED THE OCCURRENCE OF MANY INCIDENTS WITH DODGE AND RAM ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROLS AND I'M SURPRISED NONE HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRANSPORTATION SAFETY ADMINISTRATION.
