The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
The whole truck began shaking so violently, I thought I may loose control, or the truck would not stay upright. The shaking continued until I stopped on the shoulder. A careful inspection revealed no evidence of loose parts. I drove another 30 minutes (5 on freeway, 25 on surface roads) without another incident. Baffling. I have driven this diesel truck in many conditions and on many surfaces with this truck. Vibrations have been strong sometimes in the past, set off by "wash-boards" in the pavement...seem to be worse in the "tractor trailer/slow" lanes. But this event was 2-3 X the intensity.

The contact owns a 2009 Dodge Ram 2500. The contact stated that while stopped, exhaust fumes began to emit through the vents. The vehicle was taken to three different authorized dealers, where they were unable to diagnose the failure. Various repairs were performed on the exhaust system and egr gasket, but the failure continued. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to NHTSA. The failure mileage was 10,000.
