The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. While driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle experienced a violent vibration without warning. The vehicle was taken to Bonneville and son Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (625 hooksett rd, manchester, nh) where the technician recommended tire maintenance to repair the failure. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to foss motors (133 portsmouth ave, exeter, nh), but the failure could not be diagnosed. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and referred the contact to NHTSA. The failure mileage was approximately 24,600.
High speed vibration starting around 60 mph only get worst as you speed up.. one dealer said it was the eco. System kicking in, another said there wasn't no problem. But I now there's one. To many complaints online.
The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. While driving 75 mph, the front end of the vehicle dropped and the rear end raised 18 inches. As a result, the vehicle was at a 45 degree angle. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road to check the vehicle. The contact restarted the vehicle and drove home. The contact stated that the failure recurred three times within the past six months. The dealer (patriot Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, 916 S george nigh expressway, mcalester, ok 74501) informed the contact that the air suspension pump needed to be replaced. The manufacturer informed the contact to call the number on the back of the owner's manual to speak with someone about the failure. The failure mileage was 30,000.
Knuckle broke at tie rod when entering a turn on the highway at approximately 55 mph causing spin out and accident between vehicle and semi.

Air ride suspension quit functioning all together dealers backed with same issue on large # of vehicles. Was informed parts to fix are backordered and can't be told if it's safe to drive in this condition or not. Was told we are very aware of problem. But not a reasonable time or fix that will prevent issue from reaccuring. Noticed problem when driving on a highways 70mph.
Brand new 2016 Ram 1500 express 4X4, regular cab, short bed. I did the 300 mile break as specified by Ram. First time I get it to about 65+, particularly between 68 and 73 mph it shakes and shimmy's bad. Vibration is in the seats, floor, and console but is not transmitted to the steering wheel. I brought to back to the dealer with 380 miles on it, they road forced balanced the wheels, said they were off. Also stated that, in writing that it still shimmies's slightly. That is an understatement. Bringing it back for second visit.
My truck has a noticable vibration at highway speeds of 60 mph and above. After 3-4 trips to different dealerships, the problem still exists. After a quick search online, I realized that thousands of complaints have been posted on blogs related to this same problem with no solution from Chrysler/Ram. I have had the tires balanced/rotated/road forced balance, etc. Front drive shafts replaced (it's a 4X4 model) and still the same result... vibration at highway speeds. I'm not sure how many complaints are being filed with the NHTSA, but after reading numerous blogs, I would expect that fca would address this issue with a recall.
The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. While driving various speeds, the vehicle vibrated abnormally. The contact noticed an abnormal odor due to the braking system. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on four separate occasions to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the tires needed to be balanced and the brake rotors showed excessive wear. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 250.
