    On 9/21/18 my husband was driving to the store down the interstate and his truck shut off causing him to coast to the shoulder. When he did he noticed some light smoke. He tried to pop the hood but it wouldn't pop so he got out and tried to see if it was caught and saw more smoke he looked underneath to see stuff dripping like melting from the engine compartment, at that time he went to walk around the truck to look…

    Have a vibration or shimmy in the right rear tire, wheel or axle. Have put on new tires and rotated/balanced them. Dodge dealership has looked it over and tells me no problem. The 2014s had a shimmy problem. I've read many reviews of others having the same problem at or above 50 mph. Approximate date of occurrence below.

    Noticed during my first oil change at approx 1580miles that both front wheel hub bearings were leaking grease. I did not think much of it at the time, cleaning it. After approx 6000 miles or so, i checked the front two hub wheel bearings and again there was seepage of bearing grease coming out of the wheel hub seal. Cleaned it again. I last checked at approx 12000 miles and there was little residue still emitting…

    2015 ram 1500 sport 4x2 - when traveling on the highway at speeds above 65 mph, the rear end begins to vibrate/shake to the point controlling the vehicle becomes a concern.

Was taken to dealership on 9/11 and tires were re-balanced. Dealership stated that fixed the…

    My vehicle has had a vibration at highway speeds between 65-75 mph since i purchased it. The vibration is annoying and at times i've had to slow down to reduce the vibration which i feel could become unsafe. The vehicle rides smoother than any other pickup i've ever owned at lower speeds, my expectations are for it to ride the same way at any speed. The vibration seems to be coming from the rear of the truck and can…
