Tl* the contact owns a 2016 ram 1500. While driving 40 MPH, the steering wheel inadvertently jerked to the left at a 90 degree angle. The vehicle drove off the road and onto a grassy median.

My truck has a noticable vibration at highway speeds of 60 MPH and above. After 3-4 trips to different dealerships, the problem still exists. After a quick search online, I realized that thousands of complaints have been posted on blogs related to this same problem with no solution from chrysler/ram. I have had the tires balanced/rotated/road forced balance, etc. Front drive shafts replaced (it's a 4x4 model) and still the same result ... Vibration at highway speeds. I'm not sure how many complaints are being filed with the federal safety agency, but after reading numerous blogs, I would expect that fca would address this issue with a recall.
I have had 2 tires spontaneously fail in last two weeks. The first was on the highway and caused 2200 dollars in damage to the vehicle and almost causing a wreck. The second blew out while I was in my driveway traveling at less than 5mph. Both tires appeared to fail in the same way, perpendicular to the sidewalk across the tread.
Driving on a flat asphalt road at 40 MPH right rear tire blew. I was able to pull to shoulder and look at tire. The tire was opened up sidewall to sidewalk.tire has 25000 miles. I didn't run over anything and the roads were normal.tempeture was 40 and roads were dry. Not good tires. Goodyear sra 275 r 60 20
