    Unpredictable vibrations at various highway speeds. Sometimes annoying other times more severe. This condition also existed on my previous 2017 ram 1500 that i just traded in. This is the second ram 1500 that has had the exact same symptoms. I just bought this truck brand new 10/05/19. Dealers cannot solve, and fca customer care is useless. I suspect this is a know issue with ram. The standard canned answer is it is…

    At 5 months 3600 miles of ownership the 4 corner air suspension went out. This also caused me to loss my electric stability control of the vehicle.

I was driving at the speed limit and just the act of changing the lanes caused the rear end to sway a bit. I feel if this had happened to a less experienced…

    Sometimes, when i make a left or right turn or hit a bump in the road, or a pothole, there is a "thud" sound in the front of the truck. The sound is like metal against metal. I've talked to the dealership and they didn't hear it when they took it for a test drive.
