Ram 1500 4WD

  • miles
Vehicle rockes back and forth at highway speeds, upon hitting uneven pavement, like bad shocks. Dealer says they can't feel it, my wife won't drive the truck. Dealer contacted Dodge. Dodge says there is not a problem. I have talked to another Dodge owner, that traded his Dodge off at 4500 miles because of the way it handled. Which was similar to the way mine does, but his was a 2500. Dealer said they could fix the problem by putting heavy duty shocks on this vehicle, but was told they couldn't get shocks to fit this new truck. Why have to put after market shocks on a brand new truck? when driving this truck in a tight corner, it feels like it is going to throw you off the road. I am at this time in the proccess of arbitration for other problems, so Dodge will say I am just causing problems but the handling I belive is a safety concern, that Dodge is not addressing.
