3500

  • 29 miles
4 rear nexen oem tires defective; new truck driven home from dealership noticed serious vibrations shaking all seats in cabin at above approx. 65mph, took it back to original dealer, finnegan Ram, rosenburg, tx. Following week with approx. 500 miles on vehicle. Service dept. Advised me to drive it another 1000 miles or so to see if this issue resolves itself. It did not, I returned vehicle to allen samuel Ram service dept., aransas pass, tx. For same original issue with approx. 1900 miles on vehicle. 4 rear tires were found to be defective. I am presently trying to resolve a warranty claim after 2 weeks in service center. My 2015 Ram 3500 drw had similar issue; front 2 tires defective; 1 blow out tread separation and other serious bulges fixing to separate as well. I will provide photos and additional information when resolved and pick up my truck from dealership.

3500 6-cyl Diesel

  • 1,052 miles
Truck has 1052 miles on it. Bought is brand vew April 26, 2018. While towing a 15,000lb fifth wheel trailer traveling at 65mpg on the New Jersey turnpike, I felt a vibration and immediatley pulled to the shoulder. I found that 6 out of 8 lugs sheared off the passenger side dually, leaving two lugs holding the dually wheels on. This is a major concern for me and feel a major safety issue. If I did not pull over the wheels would have fallen off and a catastrophic crash would have occured. I would like the lugs examined by a forensic examiner to determine the cause, I have no knowledge of why this event happened and am concerned about a reoccurance. My wife and I could have been killed. This truck is made to tow 30,000lbs abd I was towing only 15,000 lbs. Truck is currently at chapman Dodge of horsham P.a. updated 10/9/18
