3 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 05/24/2012

I purchase a 2012 Dodge Ram 1500. I have been noticing a problem with a vibration and a rubbing sound when the vehicle is under 40 mph. I have taken back to the dealer 2 or 3 times and they first said the tire on the passenger side was cuping and separating and was not covered under warranty. I took the vehicle to a goodyear dealer (the tires are goodyear). They didn't find any problem with the tires and rotate the tires. All four tires are worn in middle tread. So, I know something is not right. I took the vehicle back. The service manager said that they couldn't find anything wrong with the truck. He did say that because it had a hemi th that's what some of the trucks did and that there was one complain with the same problem and that person traded the truck in. Now I know that that is not true about the hemi's. . . I don't feel safe in these vehicle and the store manager will not return my calls. I have paid a lot for this truck and don't feel like im receiving the proper customer care. I don't feel comfortable driving this vehicle but it's my only transportation to and from work. I had to call the Dodge customer sevice dept to have them call and talk to them for them to make another appointment to check the truck again because they would not return my calls.
