NHTSA Complaint #10881615 — 2015 RAM 2500

WHILE TRAVELING ON I-664 NORTH AND EXITING ONTO I-64 EAST IN HAMPTON, VA, MY RAM 2500 BEGAN A VIOLENT BOUNCE OR "WOBBLE" WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH (NORMAL SPEED OF TRAFFIC). I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR WHILE TRYING TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND BEGAN TO BRAKE GENTLY (I DIDN'T KNOW THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM) AS I DRIFTED INTO THE RIGHT LANE (2-LANE RAMP). I CONTINUED TO SLOW AS I CONTINUED TO MOVE ONTO THE RIGHT SHOULDER AND WHEN I REACH ABOUT 30 MPH THE BOUNCING/VIBRATION STOPPED. I CONTINUED TO THE NEXT EXIT, PULLED OFF AND GOT OUT TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. I COULD SEE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE TIRES OR SUSPENSION (SPRINGS FRONT AND REAR). I THEN DROVE 40 MILES TO MY HOME WITH NO OTHER PROBLEMS. I HAVE HAD SIMILAR MINOR EXPERIENCES DURING THE PAST YEAR THAT ONLY LASTED FOR A SECOND AND WHICH I ATTRIBUTED TO THE STIFF SUSPENSION. MY INTERNET RESEARCH OF THIS EVENT REVEALED THIS HAS BEEN AN HABITUAL PROBLEM WITH JEEPS AND RAMS BUT WAS SUPPOSEDLY "FIXED" IN 2013. I WILL TESTIFY THAT THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AND RESULTED IN ME ALMOST LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE ON A CURVED TWO-LANE RAMP. IT SHOULD BE NOTED I HAVE TRAVELED THIS ROUTE EVERYDAY FOR 14 YEARS WITH NO SIMILAR EXPERIENCE. I HAD MY LOCAL DEALER "INSPECT" THE VEHICLE FOR A POSSIBLE CAUSE BUT ALL THEY DID WAS DRIVE IT DOWN THE ROAD AND BACK AND REPORTED THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. OF COURSE THEY WERE NOT ON A CONCRETE ROADWAY DRIVING 60 MPH AROUND A CURVE.
