Default throttle vibration

Has anyone ever found a reason or a fix for the vibrations/ clunking feel in the gas throttle? I know this was on another thread some time ago , but mine is getting worse and starting to feel it in the steering wheel also. This is driving me crazy and the dealer does not know what to do about it. Also has anyone experianced what seemed like the torque convertor locking up , killing the engine when coming to a stop in a parking lot? it has only done this once, but after I had a flash done to keep the truck from starting off in 4th gear and being unable to get out of it untill I killed the engine and restarted... Now I have a grinding soud that just started when I put it into Reverse.... What else can go wrong with this Truck...

I have had the steering vibration since day one, brought it in atleast 7 times already, If i were you i would consider lemon law if they cant fix it, thats what im doing, there is no reason to have so many problems with a brand new truck, now i see why they needed a federal bail out.

I have the same problem with the vibration in the gas pedal under 2000 RPMS. Its anoying. I took it in and they told me its normal and they all do it. From what I have read its the harmonic vibrations coming from the engine and transferring to the pedal. I hate it. They need to fix it.

They have given me 2 brand new loaner trucks while mine was in and they both had the exact same problem.

I hope they find the problem and issue a recall to fix it.

I think you guys are paid by Ford and GM or ya just GM probably the President sent you here to make the truck look bad since GM is not doing good and well he owns most of it. I know lotsa people with these rams and very few having problems with them accept recalls and rrt's that are just updates, no biggys. Improvements mainly, nothing to cry about.
