2015 Ram 3500 Suspension Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 3500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED THE MESSAGE 'SERVICE AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM 'ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER MILLSBORO CHRYSLER, JEEP, RAM LOCATED AT 28380 DUPONT BLVD, MILLSBORO, DE 19966 HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER APPROXIMATELY FOUR TIMES FOR THE SAME FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS OPENED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

THE TRUCK WAS RECALLED AND A TEMPORARY WELD WAS PLACED ON THE FRONT STEERING ALIGNMENT UNTIL PARTS COULD BE OBTAINED FOR A PERMANENT FIX. NOW IT SHOWS AS REPAIRED BUT A PERMANET REPAIR WAS NEVER MADE. I CAN NOT ALIGN MY STEERING BECAUSE IT IS WELDED. AT THE VERY LEAST THIS WILL CAUSE UNEVEN TIRE WEAR AND PREMATURE REPLACEMENT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 3500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 78 MPH, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE THREAD ON THE NUT FROM THE INNER TIE ROD WAS SHAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LEGACY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (1798 HIGHWAY 3175 N BYP, NATCHITOCHES, LA 71457, (318) 238-3383) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,221. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

AT 70 MPH OR ABOVE THE VEHICLE VIBERATES HEAVILY AND HAVE CHANGED TIRES AND BALANCED FOUR TIMES, IT FIBERATES IN THE REAR MOSTLY OR UNDER THE SEATS

SHAKE IN THE TRUCK BEGINNING AT 65MPH UP TO AROUND 75MPH. I HAVE REPLACED TIRES, RIMS, REBALACED TIRES, REPLACED STEERING STABILIZER SHOCK, TRIED RUNNING AT DIFFERENT TIRE PRESSURES, ALL WITH NO IMPROVEMENT IN THE SHAKING.

MY 2015 RAM 3500 HAS GONE THROUGH 3 WHEEL ALIGNMENT WITHIN A YEAR 12000 MILES. I ALSO BEEN GETTING A LOT OF BAD FUMES IN CAB WHERE YOU HAVE TO OPEN WINDOWS AT AROUND 20 TO 40 MPH OR WHEN YOU START TRUCK WHILE WARMING UP IN COLD WEATHER. I HAD WHEELS ROTATED AND THE TPMS WHERE READING WRONG. IT WAS NOT CONNECTING WITH SYSTEM IN TRUCK HAD TO TAKE TO DEALER TO RESET.

I ONLY HAVE 15,000 MILES AND I ALREADY REPLACED FRONT TIRES & HAVE TO REPLACE THEM AGAIN FRONT END IS SHAKING SO BAD WHEN YOU GO OVER 40MPH & I HAVE SPOKE TO OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THERE 2014 DODGE RAM 3500!

MANY CONSUMERS ARE REFERRING TO THE ISSUE AS "DEATH WOBBLE". AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (50+) ANY SLIGHT BUMP WILL CAUSE A VIOLENT WOBBLE IN THE STEERING. THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL (R46) FOR 2013-2014S AND CHRYSLER INDICATED THEY TOOK CARE OF THE ISSUE BUT I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY 2015 RAM 3500 LARAMIE LONGHORN. IN ADDITION, THE TRUCK GOES THRU FRONT TIRES IN 10-15K MILES.

I HAVE A NEW 2015/3500 DUALLY, WITH AIR RIDE, ADVERTISED AT 30K TOWING CAPACITY, THE AIR RIDE SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK, IT HAS THE DEATH WOBBLE IN THE FRONT END, THE LIGHTS FLICKER AT NIGHT WHEN IT'S COLD, THE ROOF HAS LEAKED WATER SINCE I TOOK DELIVERY IN THE LAST WEEK OF JULY 2015, IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP MORE THAN I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE IT, ALMOST LOST CONTROL AT FREEWAY SPEEDS SEVERAL TIMES WHEN HITTING A BUMP, THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER SAY IT IS OVERLOADED BECAUSE I HAVE A TOOLBOX AND A FUEL TANK IN THE BACK, I HAVE WEIGHED IT MYSELF ON CERTIFIED SCALES, AND IT'S NOT OVERLOADED, IT HAS MOST RECENTLY BEEN IN THE SHOP SINCE THE FIRST MONDAY IN JAN. THE 4TH, 23 DAYS SO FAR, AND THEY HAVEN'T EVEN GOT THE ROOF LEAK FIXED, I TOLD THEM YOU STILL HAVEN'T FIXED THE AIR RIDE SYSTEM, OR ADDRESSED THE LIGHTS FLICKERING AT NIGHT IN COLD WEATHER, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE DO SOME INTERVENTION, THIS TRUCK WAS 72K NEW AND A LEMON FROM DAY ONE.

EXCESSIVE DRIVELINE VIBRATION AT SPEEDS FROM 55MPH - 75MPH.
