Consumer Description

MY 2013 RAM HAS A CONSTANT VIBRATION WHICH STARTS AT AROUND 40MPH AND CONTINUES ALL THE WAY UP TO 75+ MPH. I'VE REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES 3 TIMES. THE LAST SET ARE MICHELIN. ON ALL 3 SETS OF NEW TIRES I HAD THEM BALANCED A TOTAL OF OVER 15 TIMES. HAD ROAD FORCE TESTING DONE ON THE NEWEST SET 5 TIMES. I STILL FEEL THE VIBRATION. I BOUGHT THE TIRES AND HAD THEM ROAD FORCE BALANCED BY A NATIONAL TIRE CHAIN. THEN I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A LOCAL DODGE DEALER/SERVICE CENTER. THEY ROAD FORCE BALANCED THE TIRES TWICE AND TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WASN'T THE TIRES OR RIMS. THEN I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE STORE WHERE I BOUGH THE TIRES, THEY ROAD FORCE BALANCED THEM AGAIN AND STILL I FEEL THE VIBRATION. THE SERVICE MANAGERS AT BOTH LOCATIONS SAID THAT THEY PERSONALLY DROVE THE TRUCK FOR A ROAD TEST AND THEY BOTH SAID THEY COULDN'T FEEL THE VIBRATION. BELIEVE ME, IT REALLY SHAKES. IT'S ANNOYING AND I'M SURE IT'S NOT GOOD FOR THE TRUCK OVERALL. THE TRUCK HAS ONLY 122,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN VIBRATING FOR ABOUT 100,000 MILES. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW AND PURCHASED THE UNLIMITED WARRANTY. UNLIMITED. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE DODGE WARRANTY, SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE DEALER WOULDN'T GET TO THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. I REALLY LIKE THE TRUCK, BUT THIS VIBRATION PROBLEM IS MAKING ME VERY ANGRY. IS THERE A RECALL THAT ADDRESSES THIS PROBLEM? IF NOT, WHAT SHOULD MY NEXT STEP BE? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AND HELP.
