I was driving on the freeway with my trailer loaded when the steering wheel stopped controlling the direction of the vehicle. It caused me to lose control of the vehicle and collide into another vehicle and hitting the freeway median wall. Unknown as to the component, I am still waiting for a report. Photos attached

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 3500. While driving various speeds, there was an abnormal noise emitting from the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the courtesy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealer (1890 dogwood dr SE, conyers, ga 30013, (844) 776-0751) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the rear suspension needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred four times. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 37,000.

Brand new vehicle with less than 1,000 miles on it has a violent shake at highway speeds between 62-72 mph. Three different Ram dealers and Ram customer support team states that there is nothing wrong with the vehicle and it's operating as designed. Potentially a safety issue as the shake seems to make the truck unstable at times. This is occurring specifically on smooth highways and seems to be even worse around curves. Seems to be a fairly common issue among late model year Ram heavy duty pickup trucks and should be worth an investigation. I purchased this vehicle to tow my travel trailer with my entire family in the truck and I'm not comfortable doing that with this defect.
