NHTSA Complaint #11233109 — 2016 RAM 1500

I PURCHASED A 2016 RAM 1500 IN MAY 2019 WITH APPROXIMATELY 25K MILES ON IT. A FEW DAYS AFTER PURCHASING I NOTICED A VIBRATION COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK THAT'S CAUSES THE WHOLE BED TO SHAKE AROUND 65+ MPH. TOOK THE TRUCK TO A LOCAL SHOP AND THE MECHANIC POINTED OUT TO ME THE DRIVESHAFT WAS WOBBLING A LITTLE WHEN HE HAD THE TRUCK ON THE LIFT. TOOK THE TRUCK TO TWO DIFFERENT DODGE DEALERS ABOUT THE ISSUE, THE FIRST DEALER TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. SO I WENT ON A TEST DRIVE WITH THEM AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE NOTICED THE VIBRATION I WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT. LONG STORY SHORT THEY TOLD ME MY TIRES(ONLY 25,000 MILES) WERE BAD AND I SHOULD REPLACE THEM, GET AN ALIGNMENT AND THE PROBLEM WOULD BE SOLVED. SO I DID JUST THAT AND THE VIBRATION OF THE WHOLE BED WAS STILL THERE, THEY REBALANCED THE TIRES AND THE VIBRATION WAS STILL PRESENT. AFTER GOING TO THIS DEALER FOR THE THIRD TIME THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BECAUSE THEY CHECKED EVERYTHING INCLUDING THE DRIVESHAFT AND NOTHING WAS WRONG AT ALL. A COUPLE WEEKS LATER I GO TO ANOTHER DODGE DEALER ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE, AND IT'S THE SAME RESPONSE "WE CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM". I TEST DRIVE WITH THE SHOP MANAGER AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HE NOTICES THE VIBRATION AND TELLS ME TO LEAVE THE TRUCK WITH HIM A COUPLE DAYS WHILE HE TROUBLESHOOTS IT. TWO DAYS LATER HE CALLS AND TELLS ME THAT ONE OF MY BACK RIMS IS BENT AND THAT'S WHAT'S CAUSING THE VIBRATION. I REPLACE THE RIM, GET ALL FOUR TIRES BALANCED AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME AND THE VIBRATION IS STILL THERE.
