Vibration Issue?!?!?

fasthemiram12 · Nov 21, 2013

So Ive had my 2012 ram a year now and from day 1 its had a vibration that shakes the center console violently at about 70-80mph. Ive taken it to the dealer a couple times before and they've replaced 2 tires, done 3 alignments, and wheel balances.
I take it to a different dealer today cause I had some time to kill and todays outcome has me blown away.
Apparently this dealership has seen this issue before and it has gone up the chain to corporate because they had the reps out looking at multiple trucks with the same issue and came to the conclusion that its " The Characteristics of the Vehicle" and warranty will not allow them to throw parts at any more trucks to try to fix the issue.
I spoke to a tech and he said they had replaced the wheels, tires, driveshaft, rear axle, and transmission on a truck and it still had the issue.

Has anyone come across this before and is there any fixes for it?

but i know our chasis are strong unless its something else.

My 13 Express does the same thing. It does not really bother me because most of the time my arm is resting on the console. You'd think there would be a drive line or wheel/tire issue if the rest of the interior shook the same.

A guy i work with had a 2012 that he took back and forth to the dealership. They changed shocks, wheels, and tires and it still had a little shake around 70. They couldnt figure it out so he traded it in. I didnt really notice it till he mentioned it and i road in his truck that mine has a littile shake to it as well. I think the double cabs are a lil worse than the single cabs. I can notice it on mine if i pay attention to it. Doesnt bother me that much as long as it doesnt get worse in time.

Mine is pretty bad. I called Chrysler today. They are "gonna check into it and get back to me"
I'm not holding my breath....

So..... I haven't heard back from Chrysler.. Imagine that.
I'm so close to just putting the thing back to stock and take her back to try and lemon law it....
Anyone else have a vibration at around 73

I do really bad, It got worse when I replaced rims and tires.

go talk with a lemon law lawyer, sooner the better. You have rights between 12 and 18 months in most states.

I have a 2013 Ram 2500 4 x4 hemi with the same exact issues, didnt notice any problem till I swapped t&w, lifted it 6"and notice the vibration is the same, dealer said they were not aware of any trucks with vibrations, they lie, they cheat, they steal, but I learned to live with vibration, a fix would be greatly appreciated .have not tried stock t&w back on truck but had rebalanced twice at different places and had one tire replaced, no change in vibrations

Damn that's wild man! No issues here....but I always run ****** bias ply tires so I probably wouldn't notice anyway.

Mine has a slight wiggle to it when cruising at 70 when I take my arm off of it, it's not violent at all, hell I didn't even notice it till you made this thread.

Both my circle d and stock R/T converter did it.... But I'm not positive it means its bad or anything. Almost feels like it doesn't know how to command a downshift when it sees higher flash
