Bad passenger seat vibration

Anyone else having this issue? Rough city streets cause my passenger seat to rattle so much I'm afraid it's going to eventually snap off at the base. You can see and hear it shake violently on mild holes and ruts. I drive with my right hand on the seat back now. I've never had this issue with any other RAM. Anything I should look for to find a potential fix?

Lemon lawed my 2010 drw 3500 because of it. Truck has buckets seats. Now have 2011 drw 3500 with bench. Still shakes but about 50% less, tolerable. Read $h't floorboard design. Your not the only one, believe me. Dealer tried on the 2010 to fix with no result. Can't blame them. Hit one of the front seat backs and see if other seat moves, mine did.

Mine shakes just a bit, but it really doesn't make any noise. My 3rd gens did this too, but no noise either.

I have the same problem with my 2010 and it drives me up the wall and I am hard of hearing. I leave tomorrow for Yuma AZ and thankfully I have a neighbour who is traveling with me and that should stop the rattling. Now coming home in April.................?

Same problem here with my '12 4x4 Laramie DRW. At first I was convinced it was out of balance tires....well, that's not the problem after all

Empty front passenger seat vibrates constantly. I found that when no one is sitting in it, if I bucket the seat belt and cinch it up a bit it quiets the rattling noice and calms done the vibration a bunch. Of course this was discovered after I had the tires balanced and rotated and balanced and rotated again...only 22000 miles.

I am assuming that when it is time to replace these (junk) Generals I will find some relief...I hope!
