NHTSA Complaint #11039495 — 2014 RAM 2500

I NOTICED MY STEERING WHEEL WAS OFF CENTER. ALSO THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM WAS GOING OFF REPEATEDLY. I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION AND THEY FOUND NO "CODES" IN THE COMPUTER AND COULD NOT GET THE ESC TO GO OFF WHILE DRIVING. THEY NEGLECTED TO NOTICE MY STEERING WAS OFF CENTER. THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND TO JUST TURN OFF THE ESC AND IF IT WENT OFF AGAIN TO STOP AND TURN THE TRUCK ON AND OFF AGAIN. I HAD THE WHEELS ALIGNED THINKING THIS WAS THE PROBLEM. THE TRUCK SEEMED SENSITIVE WHILE DRIVING OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD BUT I DIDN'T REALIZE THE ISSUE. A FEW DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL I REDUCED THE SPEED TO 20 MPH. IT WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND HARD TO DRIVE OR STEER WHILE IT WAS SHAKING. IT DID THIS AGAIN 3 MORE TIMES. I KEPT THE SPEED AT 55-60 MPH AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER THE NEXT MORNING AND THEY DROVE IT BARELY A MILE AND THE STEERING ALMOST COMPLETELY FAILED. I COULD HAVE HAD TOTAL STEERING FAILURE AND LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. MY TRUCK HAS APPROXIMATELY 64,000 MILES IT IS 3 YEARS OLD AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED.
