The contact owns a 2013 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel made abnormal noises while turning and was stiff. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and diagnosed with electric power steering failure. The steering rack and pinion needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that the VIN was not included in a recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to file a complaint with NHTSA. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19E077000 (Equipment) however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 170,000.

The heat works on the passenger side but not the drivers side. This makes it impossible to see on cold days because the defrost will not work. It is in the shop now. They have changed actuators, blend doors, heater core and still can't find the issue. When checking the internet, I see that this is a common problem with Dodge, Ram, Chrysler vehicles.

The contact owns a 2013 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel seized intermittently. The power steering warning light was illuminated. The contact pulled over to restart the vehicle to correct the failure. The dealer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact there was no recall associated with the VIN. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact the vehicle was out of warranty and to take the vehicle to a dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 64,100.

The contact owns a 2013 Ram 1500. The contact stated the vehicle had seized and the air ride system became inoperable. The front end was lower than the rear end. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where the contact was informed that the air ride pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure however, no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 99,618.

Noticed tick noise coming from my HEMI engine upon starting. Took to mechanic who verified there are multiple broken bolts on both sidesof exhaust manifolds creating dangerous exhaust conditions. Reading that there have been multiple complaints on the Ram 1500 Hemi models in this time frame for same complaint. Only have 85K miles on this 2013 model., A recall should be considered and this should be covered cost by manufacturer.

While driving at normal speed power steering light came on and all the sudden power steering was lost. Has happened multiple times within the last two weeks and at different speeds. Scary situation when driving down the road because the wheel actually jerks when it loses power.

Exhaust manifold leak due to both rear studs breaking on each side of the engine. This is my 3rd dodge ram with the 5.7 liter engine that has had this problem. The other vehicle years were a 2003 Ram 2500 and a 2014 Ram 1500. With as many complaints about this problem, I am surprised there hasn't been a fix and a recall. So far, I am 3 trucks each with the same issue. I would think that two exhaust manifolds leaking in the engine compartment would pose as a safety issue by breathing the fumes sucked into the cab.

The contact owned a 2013 Ram 1500. The contact stated that he was hit head-on by another vehicle. The contact stated that although the airbag warning lights illuminated the instrument panel; however, the airbags failed to deploy. The contact was taken to the hospital where he was treated for the soreness to his back. The other driver was able to walk away from the accident and appeared to not be injured. A police report was filed at the scene (DIV421070591). Due to the accident, the vehicle was towed to an independent tow yard and was deemed a total loss. The dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that there was a recall on the vehicle(recall unknown); however, he was informed that the recall was not related to the airbag failure. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle was destroyed. The failure mileage was approximately 242,000. The VIN was not available.

The contact owns a 2013 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, while attempting to make a turn the steering wheel seized. The electric power steering was later restored independently. The dealer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that the VIN was not included in a recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19E077000 (Steering). The failure mileage was 228,064.

While driving under normal conditions steering warning indicator comes on and results in total loss of power steering assist. Vehicle is VERY difficult to steer and requires immediate stopping/pull over. Power steering will return after vehicle is shut off for approximately 5 minutes and restarted. The loss of power steering has happened at various speeds, from 5mph to 65mph and while turning, as well as driving straight ahead. It happened one time directly at start up, but seems to normally occur after 10-15 minutes of driving. My local mechanic stated it was a steering control module, but have not taken vehicle to dealer as of yet to confirm. The vehicle has not been inspected by other agenices. No other warning indicators come on prior to this fault, there is no repeatable condition that seems to be present before this occurs, other than normal driving.

The contact owns a 2013 Ram 1500. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle, the service power steering message was displayed on the instrument panel. The contact stated that the vehicle was difficult to steer while driving. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the steering rack was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and was given a case number [XXX]. The failure mileage was 54,464. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).”

The contact owns a 2013 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle crashed into the rear of the a second vehicle causing severe damage to the front end. During the crash the air bag did not deploy. The driver sustained a fractured right foot and bruises the arms and torso which required medical treatment. A police report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was towed away. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The local dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 70,000.

Front end impact during a traffic collision failed to actuate the airbags resulting in a neck/upper back injury. The collision occurred at approx. 35-40mph into another car (broadside collision).

I was driving down the road on 222 near Lancaster pennsylvania when without any warning lights or noise or any form of warning my rear differential locked up while I was driving. It snapped my drivshaft off the flange that attaches it to the differential.

Exhaust manifold warped and bolts broke, causing risk of CO^2 contamination in passenger compartment. The above listed issue is recognized as a "Known Issue" on the FCA's Mopar Recall Check tool. Multiple forums document ongoing recurrences with with certain years of the Ram 1500, https://www.ramforum.com/threads/recall-no-more-5-7l-exhaust-manifold-bolts.117041/ The problem has been inspected, diagnosed and acknowledged by Mopar RAM Service Technicians at Charlie's Dodge in Maumee, Ohio. Audible knocking sound from engine compartment was noticeable, with zero warning indicators to alert to a problem. Previous technicians pacified me with statements that indicated that the knocking noise was a typical RAM Truck sound that goes away after the motor warms up. (But it never goes away)

WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS IN HOUSTON AND ABOUT TO TURN INTO AN INTERSECTION, THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT IMMEDIATELY AND WITHOUT WARNING. THE STEERING BECAME EXTREMELY STIFF AND CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE REQUIRED MUCH MORE EFFORT THAN TYPICAL MANUAL STEERING. I AM A MALE WITH GOOD ARM STRENGTH; HAD MY WIFE BEEN DRIVING THERE IS NO DOUBT SHE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL. I DID NOT CRASH, BUT PULLED OVER WHILE NARROWLY MISSING OTHER VEHICLES AND A PEDESTRIAN. A WARNING MESSAGE ON MY DASH SAID SOMETHING LIKE 'POWER STEERING SERVICE REQUIRED'. TEXAN DODGE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE EPS MODULE HAD FAILED, AND THE REPAIR WAS ESTIMATED AT $3,100. PREVIOUS SAFETY RECALL S19 BY RAM COVERED THIS REPAIR ON A SMALL NUMBER OF PICKUPS FROM 2015-2016 MODEL YEARS. HOWEVER, BASED ON AN INTERNET SEARCH IT IS ABUNDANTLY APPARENT THAT THIS MALFUNCTION HAS OCCURRED IN MANY RAM PICKUPS FROM 2013 FORWARD. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION THAT MAY HAVE ALREADY RESULTED IN INJURIES OR DEATHS.

POWER STEERING WENT OUT INSTANTLY WHILE STOPPED PREPARING TO ENTER A CAR WASH. MADE IT THROUGH THE CAR WASH, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, THEN BACK ON, WOW! POWER STEERING STARTED WORKING PERFECTLY AGAIN. AFTER A MILE OR SO POWER STEERING WENT OUT AGAIN. IT APPEARS TO BE SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC STEERING ASSIST. AFTER RESEARCHING I DISCOVERED THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH DODGE RAM TRUCKS AS FAR BACK AS 2012.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 RAM 1500 TRUCK WHEN THE EPS ( ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING) WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT IT WANTED TO STAY STRAIGHT WHILE A SERVICE POWER STEERING POPPED UP ON THE DASH COMPUTER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER STEERING ASSIST AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER NOR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RELATED THE ISSUE TO AN UNKNOWN RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,200.

BEEN EXPERIENCING A 'SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM' ACROSS MY INFO SCREEN ALONG WITH AN ANNOYING TONE. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING, PARKED, AS WELL AS ALL FORWARD AND REVERSE GEARS. TODAY WAS THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY I HAD TO GET THE TRUCK INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. FOUND THAT THE AIRBAG IN THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT HAS A FAULTY CIRCUIT. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE & SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

MY VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ON A CITY STREET. I MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN AND JUST AS I WAS 1/4 OF THE WAY THROUGH THE TURN THE POWER STEERING FAILED COMPLETELY. WE NARROWLY AVOIDED HITTING A CONCRETE LIGHT POLE AND ANOTHER VEHICLE. WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A FULL STOP AND PARKED THE VEHICLE. UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE...THE STEERING WAS WORKING AGAIN. WE ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE HOME AND WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN THE STEERING WENT OUT AGAIN. WE PARKED THE VEHICLE AND CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER WHO SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR US. VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALER BEING REPAIRED FOR $3200. SAME MAKE AND MODEL HAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE MULTIPLE YEARS. MANUFACTURER SAYS THEY CAN NOT HELP WHATSOEVER.

DRIVING HOME YESTERDAY AFTER A SHORT 1 HOUR DRIVE. AS I PULLED INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE THE LAST FEW TURNS TO GET HOME AND GET THE TRUCK INTO THE DRIVEWAY. AFTER RESEARCHING I DISCOVERED THAT THIS VEHICLE (2013 RAM 1500 ) HAS THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ON YOUR PAGE AND FORUMS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. CHRYSLER RECALLED 2015-2016 VEHICLES WITH THE SAME SYSTEM BUT WON'T RECALL THE VEHICLE THE PART FIRST CAME OUT IN. THIS MORNING I GOT UP AND THE STEERING WAS FINE, THEN AN HOUR LATER IT WASN'T WORKING AGAIN. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT IT DIDN'T GO OUT ON MY WAY HOME YESTERDAY WHILE ON THE NARROW SHAND'S BRIDGE IN GREEN COVE SPRINGS, FLORIDA AS ANY SLIGHT SWERVING ON THAT BRIDGE WOULD PROBABLY LEAD TO A HEAD ON COLLISION SINCE IT IS SO NARROW AND HAS HIGHWAY SPEEDS. MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 68,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN BABIED SINCE NEW. THE DEALER WANTS $3500 TO REPLACE THE PART. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE RECALLED SINCE ANY SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING IN A BIG TRUCK IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAD NO WARNING SIGNS THAT THERE WAS ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY TRUCK BEFORE THE LOSS OF STEERING. JUST MADE A TURN AND IT WAS GONE. HAD THIS BEEN MY GIRLFRIEND DRIVING SHE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE RUN INTO THE NEIGHBORS YARD OR CARS OR KIDS ON THE CORNER WHERE I MADE THE TURN BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY SHE WAS GONNA TURN THAT WHEEL AFTER THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH WILL SHOW TONS OF COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PR

BOTH MANIFOLDS ARE LEAKING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE TAILGATE OPENED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V347000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) SEVERAL WEEKS BEFORE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE RAM FIAT OF ONTARIO (1202 AUTO CENTER DR, ONTARIO, CA 91761) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LATCHES WERE STICKING DUE TO DIRT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING ( EPS ISSUE). THIS HAPPENED WHILE MAKING A TURN AND DROVE OFF THE ROAD. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, THE DODGE DEALER TELLS ME MINE DOESN'T FALL UNDER THIS RECALL. ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILURE. I UNDERSTAND 8 PEOPLE HAVE DIED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE, THANK GOD I WASN'T # 9. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE FOR 2013 - 2019. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD APPLY TO ALL OF THEM.

MY POWER STEERING MOMENTARILY LOCKED UP YESTERDAY AND THEN AGAIN TODAY DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS TURNING THE WHEEL SHARPLY. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING PUMP, BELT, OR FLUID UNTIL I LOOKED INTO IT AND FOUND IT WAS ELECTRONIC AND THERE HAS BEEN SIMILAR ISSUES WITH OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE AND THERE WERE SAFETY RECALLS FOR OTHER RAM TRUCKS WITH DIFFERENT EPS PART NUMBERS. I THOUGHT FOR SURE MINE WOULD BE ON THE LIST BUT WAS NOT.

TRUCK AIR SUSPENSION CONSISTENTLY FAILS DROPPING TO THE FRAME BUMP STOPS ON DRIVES (MOVING) WHEN AERO MODE IS AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGED. TRUCK DOES NOT RECOVER TO NORMAL RIDE HEIGHT AND PREVENTS PROPER HANDLING OF THE VEHICLE (IN MOTION). LONG DRIVES IN AERO MODE (ABOVE 60 MPH) CAUSES THE SYSTEM TO FAIL AND TRUCK BODY DROPS SHORTLY AFTER, OR FAILS COMPLETELY. TRUCK CANNOT HANDLE THE LOWERING MODES WITHOUT FAILING (AERO OR ENTRY EXIT). TRUCK WILL ALSO LOWER ITSELF WITHOUT WARNING (STATIONARY). WAS WASHING (STATIONARY) TRUCK AND CLEANING WHEEL WELL WHEN REAR OF TRUCK STARTED TO DROP. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION, ANYONE CHANGING A TIRE OR WORKING UNDER THEIR TRUCK COULD GET CAUGHT OR CRUSHED WHEN SUSPENSION FAILS OR DROPS WITHOUT WARNING. DRIVING WHEN SUSPENSION FAILS COULD CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL WHEN TRUCK COLLAPSES TO FRAME (NO SUSPENSION). THIS CAUSES THE TRUCK TO VIOLENTLY HOP OFF THE PAYMENT (TIRES LOSING CONTACT WITH ROAD) EVEN WITH THE SLIGHTEST BUMP IN THE ROAD. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE TRUCK AND IT'S BEEN TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 5 MONTHS. I'VE REPLACED THE AIR COMPRESSOR, VALUE BLOCK (WHERE AIR SUSPENSION LINES INTERSECT) AND AIR LINES. DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE. I'VE COMMUNICATED THIS ISSUE TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE RAM. NO RESPONSE YET. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND RAM NEEDS TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM OR PROVIDE AND EFFECTIVE RESOLUTION \ FIX. PLEASE HELP. SUSPENSION PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN ONGOING FOR SIX MONTHS. 03/15 IS THE LATEST OCCURRENCE.

MY ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE RACK AND PINION IS NON FUNCTIONING, SHOULD BE UNDER SOME SORT OF A SAFETY RECALL! WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET.

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM INTERMITTENTLY STOPPED WORKING. AND THEN COMPLETELY FAILED. FIRST NOTICED DURING COLD WEATHER BUT WOULD GO AWAY. THEN COMPLETELY FAILED RECENTLY. NO POWER STEERING. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND PARKED.

I EXITED MY TRUCK IN DRIVEWAY GOT OUT LOOKED IT AND IT ROLLED BACK AT LEAST TWO FEET ALMOST RAN OVER MY FOOT IT'S DONE IT MORE THAN ONCE NOW IT WAS IN PARK AND WAS OUT OF VEHICLE VERY UNSAFE

TURNED MY TRUCK ON AT APPROX 45 DEGREES F. RECEIVED A "POWER STEERING WARNING" MESSAGE AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND BACK ON AND NO WARNING LIGHT CAME UP AND POWER STEERING RETURNED. IT HAPPENED LATER THAT MORNING AS WELL. I LET THE TRUCK SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES AND AGAIN THE WARNING WENT AWAY AND POWER STEERING RETURNED. I CAUTIOUSLY DROVE THE TRUCK HOME AND HAVE NOT MOVED IT. I BELIEVE THIS IS RELATED TO A PRIOR RECALL OR SIMILAR ONE FOR THE EPS SYSTEM. I HAVE NO IDEA WHETHER THIS WILL GO OUT WHILE I'M DRIVING THE VEHICLE SO I'M NOT TAKING MY CHANCES.

ALL GAUGES STOPPED WORKING. CLUSTER REPLACED 3 TIMES STILL NOT WORKING AT ALL *LN*JB Consumer has contacted dispute center as well as highway safety board.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STATIONARY, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. AFTER RESTARTING VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY 5 TIMES THE STEERING WHEEL RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATIONS. THE CONTACT STATED SERVICE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19E077000 (STEERING) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 67,000.

THE TRUCK ACTS LIKE IT WAS RESTARTED WHEN IM DRIVING DOWN ROAD . THE LIGHTS GO OUT ALL THE GAGES TURN OFF AND RESET ITS NOT A GOOD THING WHEN U ARE DRIVING AT NIGHT. IT HAS HAPPENED MORE THEN THE ONE TIME ON 01/09/2020 IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES THIS MONTH AN BE FOR THAT IT WOULD DO IT HERE AND THERE. WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED IT THE DEALER HAD IT EVERY WEEK FOR 3 MONTHS BUT IT NEVER DID IT FOR THEM BUT THERE SHOULD BE SOME RECORDS OF ME HAVING IT IN THERE. IT WOULD HAPPEN AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS ANYWHERE FROM 30 MPH TO 60 MPH

12-5-21 DRIVING TO AND FROM STORE. POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ACTIVATED AND LOSS POWER STEERING. PUT THE VEHICLE. INTO REVERSE WHEN REALIZED NO STEERING. I THOUGHT MT STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED. DEALER HAS IT AT THIS TIME. NO WORK BEING DONE. I FEEL THIS IS RELATED TO THE RECALLS IN THE PAST AND RECENT RECALLS. HELP ME PLEASE.

COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING RESULTING IN DIFFICULTY IN TURNING AND CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE. RESTARTING THE IGNITION WOULD RESULT IN RETURN TO NORMAL POWER STEERING. THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING WAS INTERMITTENT AT FIRST THEN BECAME MORE FREQUENT TILL COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHICH COULD NOT BE RESOLVED BY RESTARTING THE VEHICLE.

REFERRING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V167000. RECALL ON 2015-2016 RAM 1500, EPS CONTROL CIRCUIT COMPONENT FAILURE. RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO RAM 1500S TO INCLUDE ALL FOURTH GENERATION MODELS, 2013-2019. WHILE DRIVING EXPERIENCED LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THIS PROBLEM WOULD RESOLVE BY RESTARTING THE VEHICLE TO REGAIN NORMAL POWER STEERING. POWER STEERING LOSS WAS INTERMITTENT THEN BECAME MORE FREQUENT TILL COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHICH COULD NOT BE RESOLVED BY RESTARTING THE VEHICLE.

PURCHASE TRUCK FROM A1 IMPORTS AND DEALER SAID THAT HE DONE SAFETY AND HE WILL PROVIDE NEW TAG WITH SPARE WHEEL. WHEN I RECEIVED TRUCK AND NEXT DAY WHEN I CHECKED SPARE WHEEL, IT IS WAY BIGGER SPARE WHEEL THEN REGULAR 4 WHEEL. I DROVE 300 MILE AND BRAKE PAD FROM FRONT PASSENGER TOTALLY GONE AND DAMAGE FRONT PASSENGER ROTOR TO. WHEN I DID COMPLAIN ABOUT IT TO DEALER, HE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHINGS TO CHANGE AND I WENT THERE WITH NEW ROTOR AND BRAKE PAD SO HE JUST REPLACE IT. I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK ON DEC-2-2020 AND I GOT TEMP TAG UNTIL JAN-2-2021 AND HE TOLD ME THAT I WILL GET MY ONE YEAR TAG IN MAIL WITHIN TIME BUT TILL TODAY IS 6-JAN-2021 AND STILL I AM WAITING FOR MY TAG. I HAVE BEEN TALKING WITH DEALER SINCE JAN-2 FROM EVERY DAY AND HE IS MAKING EXCUSE THAT HE WILL GET TOMORROW BUT HIS TOMORROW WILL NEVER COME YET. AND I AM NOT ABLE TO USE MY TRUCK SINCE 4 DAYS. I HAVE ALL TEXT MSGS REGARDING THIS AND HE IS NOT RESPONDING AS DEALER RESPONSIBILITY. I THINK THIS IS NOT A GOOD PRACTICE AS A DEALER WHO IS SELLING CARS IN GREENVILLE AREA IN NC. AS HE GIVE ME TRUCK WITH TIRE CONDITION AND BRAKE CONDITION WHICH IS CONSIDER AS MAIN SAFETY ISSUE AND HE HAS AUTHORIZED SAFETY INSPECTION LICENSE FOR HIS SHOP. THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR OTHER PEOPLE. I AM UPLOAD MY SPARE WHEEL PIC WHICH I HAVE IT THAT I AM GOING TO UPLOAD

MY VEHICLE HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION, WHERE THE FRONT END HAS LOWERED AND THE ENTIRE SYSTEM WILL NOT RESPOND. I HAVE LOOKED ON SOME WEBSITES AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, AND FOR SOME, A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE NOT FOUND A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, AND WONDERING WHY. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN 2019 AND DID NOT REALIZE THERE WAS AN ISSUE THAT DOES NOT HAVE REMEDY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS SUCH. MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME, ALTHOUGH , MANY ON THE WEBSITE COMPLAINED THAT IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING.

I WAS TURNING IN TO TRAFFIC AND THE STEERING QUIT WORKING MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. I LOOKED ON THE COMPUTER AND FOUND THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, ONE RECOMMENDED TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART IT, I TRIED THAT AND IT WORK. I FEEL LIKE THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE IT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND OR SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATH TO A DRIVER OR OTHER PEOPLE. IN THE 47 YEARS I'VE BEEN DRIVING I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS.
