This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
There is a chassis vibration issue where the entire truck shakes at speeds over 60 mph. The seats shake and the whole truck shakes as if a tire is really out of balance. There is no shake in the steering wheel however, and new tires, and recently balanced tires, have no effect on the issue. It seems to start in the rear of the vehicle. Many people on the forums report the same problem and no one has found a fix for it that I know of. Dealers just throw new tires and wheels at the problem with no resolution. Check forums like cumminsforum.com and turbo diesel register for the hundreds of threads on the issue. Also appears 2500 and 3500S are both effected and have different rear suspension setups.
Vehicle is equipped with a G56 Mercedes 6 speed manual transmission. When in 5th gear there is a chatter originating from the transmission amplified by the shift lever. Noise and vibration occurs at any speed and any load (under the fifth wheel or not) while in 5th gear. Gears 1 thru 4 and 6 are quiet as expected.
