The cruise control on the vehicle doest work. It seems to be something wrong with the system, because it starts to somewhat work when i reboot the system to factory settings. After a while, the system just stops working. I guess that this is something a lot of people go through, since there's tons of youtube videos about people trying to fix it.

Bad vibrations at highway speeds. Dealer has replaced tires, did not fix. Dealership changed track bar, did not fix the issue. I also paid for alignment before track bar install. Seems to be a reoccurring problem with ram trucks, please help make this right. 73000 miles

On 9-4-18 took my ram 2500 in to the chrysler dealership in lowell, michigan for the recall r46/nhtsa 15v-541. They indicated they did not have the parts to do the recall and would call when they were available. I checked with the dealership again on 10-4-18 and they said parts are still not available and they did not know when they would be available.

I have contacted the dallas dodge dealer on 3 occasions to have the r46/nhtsa 15v-541 safety recall corrected and they continue to state they have no estimation of when they will have the parts to correct this hazard. I use my truck to haul an rv and i am concerned that this part could fail during towing. This issue is causing me to not use my truck for its intended purpose.

Truck bed shakes violently from side to side at speeds greater than 60mph. I've taken vehicle to dealership and they're saying it's working as designed. The cab shakes violently due to the bed shacking. I've spent money getting alignments and tire balancing over and over again and the problem still persists. There's no reason a truck should be shaking on the freeway.
