2013 Ram 1500 complaints

FIRST PROBLEM. AFTER LOCKING TRUCK THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS AND GAUGES CONTINUE TO FLASH AND GAUGES FLICKER. THIS GOES ON FOR ABOUT 10 MINS OR SO. DEALER CANT FIND PROBLEM. SECOND PROBLEM IS TRANSMISSION. WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND THE TRUCK HAS STOPPED MOVING YOU GET A BUMP FROM TRANSMISSION. ONCE AGAIN DEALER NO HELP. BEEN GOING ON FOR 2 YRS.

HELLO I FIND IT VERY DISTURBING AND I FEEL IM BEING EXTORTED BY THIS MANUFACTURER. WHO INSTALLED IN THEIR OWN WORDS A GAS SAVING AND SAFETY FEATURE THAT I PAID FOR IN MY $40,000+ TRUCK AND THEN SEND ME LETTERS TELLING ME TO PAY $595 TO TURN IT ON. I FEEL IF THEY ARE GOING TO INSTALL SAFETY FEATURES IN THEIR VEHICLES THEY SHOULD BE USED. NEXT THEY WILL BE CHARGING US TO USE OUR SEATBELTS AND CHARGE US TO ACTIVATE OUR AIRBAGS.

THE ELECTRICAL INSTRUMENT PANEL JUST GOES OUT FOR NO REASON CAUSING ALL GAUGES TO BE USELESS FOR A FEW SECONDS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE AND MORE. DEALER HAS NO INFORMATION OR REMEDY. COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS OR EVEN WORSE IF NOT CORRECTED. THIS HAPPENS DRIVING ON ALL ROADS. THE LAST TIME WAS 1/26/16 EARLY MORNING.

TRUCK SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. THERE WAS A MESSAGE ON THE DASH STATING "WRONG KEY FOB". I HAD AN OCCASION WHEN I FIRST GOT THE TRUCK WHERE THE IGNITION KEY WAS NO LONGER RECONIZED AND WOULD NOT START THE TRUCK. AT THIS TIME, THE TRUCK WAS STILL UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY AND A NEW KEY WAS GIVEN TO ME SO I HAD TWO WORKING IGNITION KEYS. I WAS A LITTLE UNEASY OF ONLY HAVING ONE KEY ON ME AND FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS, ALWAYS HAD A SPARE IGNITION KEY ON ME. WHILE DRIVING LAST WEEK, THE TRUCK SHUT OFF, FLASHED THE WRONG KEY FOB MESSAGE, AND I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. I TRIED USING MY SPARE KEY, AND THE TRUCK STARTED RIGHT UP AND DROVE NORMALLY. THE ORIGINAL KEY I WAS USING NO LONGER WORKS, AND I WILL HAVE TO GO TO THE DEALER TO PURCHASE A NEW ONE. THE DEALER TELLS ME THIS IS NOT UNCOMMON AND THAT THEY HAVE TO PROGRAM NEW KEYS EVERYDAY. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS FAULT WITH THE SENTRY SYSTEM THEY ARE USING AND I HOPE THEY CAN ISSUE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN MY TRUCK WHEN ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT OFF AND REST ITSELF. THIS HAS HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES NOW AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED THEM HAVE THEY HEAR ANY OTHER OWNERS SAY IT HAPPEN TO THEM. THEY AT LIKE I WAS SPEAKING A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE. THEY SAID THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO CHECK IT UNLESS IT HAPPENS WHEN THEY HAVE IT. ONLY PROBLEM WITH THAT IS IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY.

I HAVE HAD AN ENGINE LIGHT ON FOR QUIT SOME TIME AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID IT WAS A FUEL CAP. AFTER LEAVING THERE A FEW DAYS LATER, SAME THING. BUT THEN I NOTICED FUELING IT UP TOOK 15 TO 20 MINUTES. SO I TOOK IT BACK I ANDROID THEM ABOUT THE LIGHT AND THE FUELING PROBLEM.

I ALSO NOTICED THAT INSTEAD OF THE FUEL CAP BREATHING OUT ITWASSUCKING IN, PULLING ALL KINDS OF DUST INTO THE TANK. I WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT THIS FILTER WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALER. I HAVE FOUND NO LITERATURE ON THIS EITHER. I BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON TRUCK AND IT IS NOT COVERED. WHAT CAN I DO?

CENTER INSTRUMENT PANEL KEEP GOING OUT I HAD IT HAD THE DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES, HEADLIGHTS ON DRIVER SIDE GO OUT AND AFTER THE NEW CHIP WAS PUT INTO UCONNECT THAT FLICKERS

WHEN USING THE HORN DRIVING OR STATIONARY, THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT DELAY FROM DEPRESSING THE STEERING WHEEL CENTER AND THE HORN SOUNDING.

GOOD YEAR WRANGLER SR-A TIRES ON MY RAM 1500. I HAD A BLOW OUT OF THE DRIVERS REAR TIRE WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. CALLED GOODYEAR AND THEY WANT ME TO HAVE THE TIRE INSPECTED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIRE THAT BLEW OUT IN THE PAST 5 MONTHS. THE LATEST TIME IT WAS THE DRIVERS FRONT TIRE THAT BLEW OUT AND CONTROL WAS LOST CAUSING ME TO STRIKE ANOTHER VEHICLE. I CALLED GOODYEAR WHO TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS MODEL TIRE BUT NOT IN MY SIZE.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION SAFETY SAYS THE BAG IS INFLATED AT A CERTAIN CRASH THRESHOLD, USUALLY CORRESPONDING TO A SPEED OF THE IMPACTING VEHICLE OF MORE THAN 15-20 KM/H.
