Bought a my first Ram in Nov 2020 after having such a great experience with our 2018 Durango GT.
The wheel alignment was way off straight off the lot. It drove perfectly straight but I noticed at about 2k miles that all my tires were feathering. I also had them check for vibration and ride quality at highway speeds. The found all the tires were out of balance. They refused to replace the feathered tires. So now I have a constant hum at highway speeds. Which is really great in a brand new vehicle!
My truck also has a vibration that comes and goes from the rear end at highway speeds. I don’t feel the vibration in the steering wheel when it happens. I tried adding 500lbs of water softener salt in the back thinking it might be an empty truck bed thing since this is my first Full size truck, but it didn’t change anything. It’s been back to the dealer a few times and they can never reproduce it.
I also have a hard downshift when coming to stop. It feels like it is slamming into gear. I actually checked the spare tire to make sure it was tight. Again the dealer couldn’t reproduce it.
Anyone have these issues? Has anyone gotten similar issue resolved?
The truck is great except for those few things. In my 45 mile drive I can get 28mpg, mostly highway driving. Averaging 24 hwy/city most of the time.
