2010 Shaking Steering Wheel

I purchased this truck 3 days ago and have already had to return to the dealer to get a it fixed. I would caution anyone from buying one of these. Check the Dodge Forum about the death shake steering wheel problem at 60-70 MPH and also 40-45 MPH if you start off like this, it could be ugly.

Owner has now attempted 3 separate CDJR MOPAR Service Dealers regarding uneven vehicle/frame concerns and/or rear axle concerns. The first service attempt was with selling dealer Thompson’s CDJR Placerville the following day after vehicle purchase. Owner reported concern with vehicle lean at driver’s front and significant vehicle vibration at highway speeds. Owner did not test drive vehicle on highway prior to purchase. Owner was scheduled for MOPAR service 3 days after purchase. While waiting for service appointment, owner took vehicle to America’s tire in Roseville. The factory tires were identified to be out-of-round. Owner replaced factory tires with new tires at owner expense. This drastically reduced the vehicle vibration, but not entirely. When owner serviced vehicle at Thompson’s CDJR, owner updated Service Advisor of tire replacement. The service obtained at Thompson’s CDJR resulted with no work performed and reported vehicle was within factory specs. Service focus was suspension related, mainly control arm distance to ground comparison from left to right control arms. This service department did not assess or inspect the vehicle frame. Service Advisor at Thompson’s appeared disinterested and bothered by owner concern about new vehicle. The second service attempt was with Folsom Lake CDJR. Owner notified Service Advisor of service at Thompson’s and offered to provide the service report from Thompson’s. This service department resulted in no work preformed and report vehicle was within factory specs. Service focus was, again, solely on vehicle suspension. To their credit, they appeared to assess suspension components more thoroughly than Thompson’s. This service department did not assess or inspect the vehicle frame. Frustrated with no resolve from MOPAR service, continued vehicle safety issues, and new safety issues arising each day, owner privately scheduled Shark Blackhawk Computerized Vehicle Measurement System laser frame inspection from MOPAR certified techs at Gamboa’s Body and Frame of Rancho Cordova, CA. Gamboa’s Body and Frame in Rancho Cordova is a MOPAR Factory Certified Body and Frame repair location. Shark Blackhawk Computerized Vehicle Measurement System evidenced multiple areas of vehicle frame were out of factory specs. The report findings indicate 8 frame areas outside of factory specs for RAM 1500 Pickup Crew Cab 5.5’ Bed 4WD 2013-2016. 5 out of spec frame measurements are weld-on permanent frame locations. 3 remaining out of spec frame measurements are located at left and right lower control arm bolt locations. These 3 bolt locations are drilled into vehicle frame cross rails which are welded to main frame exterior. When owner requested bid from Gamboa’s Body and Frame Service Advisor in order to assess cost to resolve frame specs, owner was instructed Gamboa’s was unable to correct vehicle frame to factory specs. At this time, owner was working with FCA Case Manager Greg, who indicated FCA would reimburse owner for frame inspection and rental car costs. Owner submitted frame inspection report and owner payment invoices for services listed. Owners third attempt, and third dealer location, for CDJR MOPAR service was with AutoNation Roseville CDJR. This service appointment was at the direction of FCA Case Manger Greg and reported to be the next step following the Shark Blackhawk Computerized Vehicle Measurement System frame results. Owner scheduled service and documented initial frame concerns, new safety concerns related to rear axle and differential, and additional issues with vehicle (see attached). Owner provided AutoNation service department with copy of Shark Blackhawk Computerized Vehicle Measurement System laser frame report findings. Upon owners third attempt at MOPAR dealer service, Service Manager Brian Morrow and Service Advisor Greg Stebbins of AutoNation CDJR Roseville assessed MOPAR service unable to resolve documented frame related issues. Service Manager Brain Morrow contacted FCA Case Manager Jennifer at 1-800-763-8422 ext 40381 to report his vehicle service assessment. To date, owner has no resolve and is unable to operate vehicle safely. This vehicle is owner’s primary transportation and is used for driving owners 4 and 5-year-old children.

The new family toy!

Since the first of 5 test drives and a lot of research this truck has been my favorite. The interior quiet, the smooth ride and car like turning, the Nice sounding Hemi, the amazing sound system, Easy to use Nav, Sirius radio, and the amazing Blue color. All of it was a perfect pick. I was going from a 92 Ford Exploder (yes I know its an explorer) and after driving this I will never drive another Ford again. Toyota and Chevy were a nice second choice but I wanted the features that Dodge offered. Worth the wait for the custom order. My wife loves her new toy and hates it when I borrow it hehe.

Best truck I have ever owned

This is truly Dodge's best truck they have ever made. It had a very "solid" feel to it when driving. Hemi power is a must, you won't regret it. I like the quad cab because it is cheaper, only downfall is the seats are not as comfortable as the crew cab seats.
