From day one I have had a severe vibration from the rear of my truck at speed above 60 mph it will vibrate the floor board and front seat and center console severely. After many discussions with Ram and the dealer have agreed to replace my good year sra 275-60-20 with a new set of tires same type. To rectify the problem they did so on 8-28-2015 9950 miles it has made no difference. I brought this tsb I found here on NHTSA id number 10056977 service bulletin no. 16-001-14 to thier attention they say they have never heard of that tsb I am very concerned because after some research on my own it seems there are a growing number of 2015 1500's with this same issue. It it needs to be moved to a recall because it could be a hazard waiting to happen and it could be causing other damage to the truck. I am going by the dealer today 8-31-2015 to see what they are going to do now, vehicles today are to expensive to have these type of issues mine has been going on for 10000 miles and no fix in sight this is my 5th attempt to get the problem fixed.

The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Ram 1500. While driving approximately 40 mph, the driveshaft began to shake violently. After restarting, the vehicle resumed normal operation. The failure recurred four times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing; however, the technician was unable to duplicate the failure. The driveshaft was disengaged and rotated to 180 degrees and the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 159. Update 9/15/15

Bought a brand new 2015 Dodge Ram 1500, the first week I had an issue with one of the windows not going back up, about a month later I was driving and the new knob shifter, went into neutral by itself while I was driving. Meant to take it in, but had been so busy with work, that I was going to wait until the first oil change. I noted those two issues on an email review/survey that Dodge hounded me to fill out. Exactly two months after owning the truck on July 28th, the same day I made my second payment, I was at the garage at work, left the truck on and put it in park, got out of the car, closed the door and as I was getting ready to go around the truck to go inside my job, the car started to back out by itself, I tried getting back into the truck to stop it but unfortunately, I failed, the truck almost ran me over. Thankfully a cement beam stopped this from happening.
