Hello!
I recently purchased my 2021 Ram 1500 that has about 26k miles on it. This is my first Ram, and also my first truck in general, so I don't really have a good comparison to know if the vibration/wobble I'm noticing is normal or not. So I thought I'd take it to the pros. Here is the situation as best as I can describe it:
The truck accelerates beautifully and brakes fine. However, as I'm closing in on the end of the braking event (think last 5-10 ft), there's a noticeable vibration/wobble I can feel from the engine that lasts about a second. The entire braking event until this point is smooth, so I don't think it's a brake issue (i.e., bent rotor). It almost feels like a slightly out of balance fly wheel is coming to a stop, if that makes any sense. I know the engine RPMs are coming way down at about this point, but I don't feel this vibration at any other time the truck is shifting gears, so I'm not sure that's relevant. Another thought is it could be feedback from the regenerative braking.
Anyways, just wondering if anyone has experienced this before. I have an appointment to take it into the dealer to get checked out, but thought I'd ask here first in case this is a known, normal thing...maybe I can avoid the diagnostics charge.
Thanks!
