Shake or Vibration Issues

tnchevy · July 26, 2015

my calculation take into account all of the incentives, I took the MSRP, deducted incentives, deducted 1 year worth of depreciation (even though my truck is less than a month old), and got my number from that. the dealers were taking 26% on top of all that, I would have considered taking a small hit... but not a $12,000 hit.

Have you taken your truck to a Carmax yet? You might get a better offer selling it to them than the dealer is offering you.

Found the answer to the shake and vibration .

2015 Express Crew 5.7 great truck and smooth as glass so I guess this is goodby .

Best of luck to all of you with you trucks , it's been a ride to remember

Good luck with the Ram! I wanted an express really badly when I was shopping but the one thing that held me back was the interior. Reminded me of the Neon I had in college but I love the smooth transmission and the instant power of the 5.7.

I havn't the only carmax near me is about an hour away, and there are dozens of dealerships between me and there. I just went to their site, and they don't have what I'm looking for anyway. I don't see them giving me $12,000 more than other dealerships, and even if they did, I would then still lose on the tax saving from trade in, trade incentives from the new truck etc. It's just too much money to lose

I unfortunately have the vibration issues that previous members have posted complaints about. Truck is at dealer and GM has been made aware of the issue. After doing my own research on this vibration problem I came across the following repair instructions/guidelines to diagnose and fix the vibration issues. Interesting read. Seems legit. Maybe this is the correct path to fixing all these trucks. Any thoughts?

Your dealer can get you "trade in assistance". Given your circumstances, they'll send all your service records to GM and once it gets approved, you'll get anywhere from 4-6 k. Your situation is exactly how mine played out. I didn't have to take anything out of pocket and I received 5 k towards the negative equity on my truck. The thing is, you have to have another truck picked out BC your dealer has to send GM that vin to make sure you're indeed buying another

Yes, so basically the District Sales Manager authorized $4000 "assistance" brining my trade in to the dealer to $37,000. Still.... A new truck is around $49k (for identical SLT) and with GM incentives plus my trade value and taxes, I'm at about $4000 difference.

I guess I'll see if I can convince them to shorten that gap.

Anyone GONE THRU arbitration? As anther Florida member mentioned, lemon laws are similar here in NH. You have to go thru Arbitration via BBB.

I'm liking the interior a lot on mine especially the instrument cluster . Everything's layed out nice and the seats are super comfy for me anyway . Lots of cool compartments for storage well thought out . The material on the seats seems very durable to .

Not to be a party pooper, I wonder if the latest buyback from Dodge will hinder GM from doing any recall / TSB for the vibes....

I was wondering that myself

I can't believe that there haven't been recalls for a lot of the issues with these trucks. There are known steering column issues with our trucks too. The problem with the Ram's is that they failed to fix the issue. GM seems to be failing at fixing the vibration issue, which in my opinion is a pretty big deal. Can't say a truck that shakes its way down the road is a safe vehicle to drive.
