2015 Ram 1500 complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V661000 (POWER TRAIN). HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

FOLLOW-UP TO COMPLAINT NUMBER: 10809870 2015 RAM 1500 LARAMIE LIMITED 4X4 COMPONENT PART OR SYSTEM THAT CAUSED THE SAFETY RISK - UNKNOWN I TOOK DELIVERY OF MY TRUCK FROM THE SERVICE CENTER ON 12/18/2015. THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THE RECEIVER HUB WERE REPLACED. ON 12/26/2015, MY WIFE AND I WERE ON DATE-NIGHT HEADED TO A LOCAL BOWLING ALLEY WHEN MY TRUCK WENT DEAD ELECTRONICALLY AND ENGINE-WISE AGAIN. AGAIN, THE TRUCK COULD NOT BE RESTARTED AND AGAIN NOTHING WORKED. THANKFULLY, WE WERE JUST DRIVING IN THE PARKING LOT NEAR THE BOWLING ALLEY AND THERE WAS NO SAFETY CONCERNS. MY TRUCK IS NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN.

THE RAM 2015 PASSENGER SIDE TOW PACKAGE LARGE MIRROR OPTICS ARE POORLY DESIGNED FOR VIEWING TRAFFIC ON THE REAR AND SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CURRENT LARGE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR IS MAGNIFIED,AND PROVIDES POOR VIEWING COVERAGE OF OTHER VEHICLES. IT CREATES TUNNEL VISION WITH MANY BLIND SPOTS. IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ADJUST THE MIRRORS TO SEE TRAFFIC AROUND THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TRIED TO GET THE MANUFACTURER TO REPLACE THE MIRROR BUT THEY JUST GIVE ME THE RUN AROUND, AND REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS SAFETY CONCERN. THE STANDARD MIRROR FOR 2015 DODGE RAMS IS PARABOLIC WITH THE WORDS PRINTED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MIRROR "OBJECTS IN MIRROR ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR" IS OK . THIS IS SAME AS MY LAST PICKUP A 2005 RAM 1500 AND THE MIRRORS ARE GREAT, BUT MY NEW 2015 RAM PASSENGER SIDE MIRRORS INCLUDED IN THE TOW PACKAGE ARE VERY UNSAFE TO OPERATE. I WOULD THINK PAYING AN EXTRA $410 FOR THE TOW PACKAGE MIRRORS OPTION WOULD IMPROVE THE VIEW, BUT JUST THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE THE MIRRORS ARE UNSAFE. ANY DAY I USE MY NEW RAM 2015, GIVEN THE HIGH AND LIMITED VIEW OF FULL A SIZE PICKUP I RISK GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALER PERSONNEL HAVE DRIVEN THE TRUCK AND AGREE IT IS UNSAFE BUT CAN'T GET THE MANUFACTURER TO DO ANYTHING. I HAVE OPENED A CASE NUMBER WITH CHRYSLER, #28409386, ADMINISTRATOR "ANGEL", AND TRIED TO GET THEM TO TAKE ACTION BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. AT THE DEALER RECENTLY I NOTICED 3 TRUCKS IN THE BODY SHOP WITH THE SAME TOW PACKAGE MIRRORS ALL WRECKED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BY

2015 RAM 1500 LARAMIE LIMITED 4X4 COMPONENT PART OR SYSTEM THAT CAUSED THE SAFETY RISK - UNKNOWN MY TRUCK WAS PURCHASED NEW WITH 115 MILES ON THE ODOMETER ON 10/13/2015 AT HEBERT'S TOWN & COUNTRY. ON 10/16/2015, WITH JUST OVER 200 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, MY WIFE AND I WERE RETURNING HOME FROM DATE-NIGHT. WE WERE TRAVELING AT 60 MPH DOWN LA3132 WHEN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WENT BLACK, THE ENGINE SHUTDOWN, MOST ALL ELECTRONICS, TO INCLUDE THE HEADLIGHTS, CEASED FUNCTIONING AND THE RPM & MPH GAUGES CONSTANTLY BOUNCED UP AND DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO COAST SAFELY TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AS THE TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT. I COULD NOT RESTART THE VEHICLE SO, IT HAD TO BE TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. FIVE DAYS LATER, I TOOK RE-DELIVERY OF MY TRUCK WITH AN ADDITIONAL 200 MILES ADDED TO THE ODOMETER AND A VERBAL EXPLANATION (NO PAPERWORK) THAT THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER HAD TO BE REPLACED. UPON RE-DELIVERY WITH MY SALESMAN PRESENT, I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BLACKED OUT AND THE GAUGES BOUNCED. MY SALESMAN WENT TO GET A SERVICE TECH BUT, WHILE HE WAS GONE, I HEARD A CLICK IN THE DASH AND EVERYTHING STARTED WORKING AGAIN. ON 12/11/2015, WITH JUST UNDER 60 DAYS OWNERSHIP AND RIGHT AT 700 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, I WAS RETURNING HOME FROM SHOPPING, TRAVELING DOWN A RESIDENTIAL STREET, WHEN THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS SUDDENLY HAPPENED AGAIN.

THE LOW BEAM PROJECTOR HEAD LIGHTS DO NOT PUT OUT ENOUGH LIGHT TO DRIVE SAFELY AT NIGHT. EVEN ON A CLEAR NIGHT I HAVE TO PUT MY FOG LIGHTS ON TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, IF THE ROAD IS WET WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC I JUST POINT THE TRUCK AND HOPE FOR THE BEST. I WILL NOT DRIVE AT NIGHT ANY MORE IF I CAN HELP IT. I HAVE FOUND AN AFTER MARKET REPLACEMENT BULB THAT MAY HELP.

I HAVE A 2015 RAM LARAMIE. WHEN IT RAINS IT LEAKS WATER AT THE SUN ROOF CONTROL AND AT THE PULL BAR ON THE DRIVER SIDE. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE PURCHASING.

FRONT VIBRATION WHEN DRIVING ANY SPEED ON GAS PEDAL AND STEERING WHEEL AND FLOOR BOARD. VARY NOTICEABLE ON DIRT ROAD THAT I LIVE ON. FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS GOING TO BREAK OR COME LOOSE.

TRUCK HAS BEEN IN SHOP FROM 5/20/2015 THROUGH 6/19/2014; 3/20/2015 THROUGH 3/20/2015; 7/10/2015 THROUGH 7/17/2015; AND CURRENTLY IN SHOP 10/13/2015 THROUGH CURRENT DATE AND TIME. ENGINE HAS BEEN REPLACED AND IT IS LEAKING OIL FROM AN UNKNOWN LOCATION. SERVICE HAS STATED TO HAVE CHECKED EVERY POSSIBILITY SOURCE LOCATION FOR THE, ON AVERAGE 1.5 TO 2 QUARTS OIL, LOW RESULTING IN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND STILL AFTER ENGINE REPLACEMENT.

I WAS TRAVELING ON I-35 FROM AUSTIN TO SAN ANTONIO IN MY BRAND NEW 2015 DODGE 1500 WHEN MY 'SERVICE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM' LIGHT CAME ON, THE TRUCK STARTED SHACKING SO HARD I COULD BARELY HOLD IT ON THE ROAD, WHEN I GOT PULLED OVER THE DRIVER SIDE BACK TIRE WAS ON FIRE, RIGHT UNDER THE GAS TANK. THE LEFT REAR CALIPER HAD A MASSIVE FAILURE THAT CLAMPED DOWN ON THE PAD.

MY VEHICLE HAS HAD A VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BETWEEN 65-75 MPH SINCE I PURCHASED IT. THE VIBRATION IS ANNOYING AND AT TIMES I'VE HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO REDUCE THE VIBRATION WHICH I FEEL COULD BECOME UNSAFE. THE VEHICLE RIDES SMOOTHER THAN ANY OTHER PICKUP I'VE EVER OWNED AT LOWER SPEEDS, MY EXPECTATIONS ARE FOR IT TO RIDE THE SAME WAY AT ANY SPEED. THE VIBRATION SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK AND CAN BE FELT IN THE SEAT AND FLOORBOARD. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO WORSEN WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAYS WITH WIDE SWEEPING TURNS. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE SELLING DEALERSHIP TWICE, THE FIRST TIME THEY REPORTED 2 OF THE TIRES WERE BAD AND WERE REPLACED. I TOOK IT BACK A SECOND TIME FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT DETECT A VIBRATION OR FIND ANYTHING WHICH COULD BE CAUSING ONE. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED SO I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP. THEY BALANCED THE TIRES, ROTATED THEM AND CLAIMED THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN RESOLVED. THE PROBLEM HAD NOT BEEN RESOLVED AND IF ANYTHING HAS GOTTEN WORSE AFTER THE THIRD ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. I HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE REPORTED BY OTHERS. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE AT SERVICING DEALERSHIPS 3 TIMES AND 2 SEPARATE INDEPENDENT NATIONAL TIRE CHAINS AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS.

WHILE THE TRUCK WAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FROM OCT 5TH TO PRESENT, THE UCONNECT SYSTEM SENT ME AND EMAIL WARNING AT 4:30PM ON OCT. 16TH ABOUT A MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT REGARDING THE POWER TRAIN. WHEN I WENT TO PICKUP THE TRUCK ON OCT 20TH THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ON AND THE SERVICE MANAGER COULD NOT GET IT TO GO OFF -SO WE LEFT IT THERE. THIS WAS AFTER THE DEALERSHIP FIXED THE OIL IN THE COOLANT SYSTEM, WHICH WAS FOUND TO BE CAUSED BY A BROKEN OIL COOLANT PUMP. THE NEW WARNING MESSAGE THAT WAS SENT STATES "POWERTRAIN: PROLONGED DRIVING WITH THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT ON COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM. IF THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT IS FLASHING, SEVER CATALYTIC CONVERTER DAMAGE AND POWER LOSS WILL SOON OCCUR. HAVE YOUR VEHICLE SERVICED AT YOUR DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY."

BOUGHT NEW LAST WEEK. DROVE AT NIGHT AND THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM I HAVE TO USE HIGH BEAMS RATHER THAN THE STANDARD HEADLIGHTS. SAFETY ISSUE FOR NIGHT DRIVING.

BRAND NEW TRUCK WITH 4412 MILES ON IT AT TIME OF OCCURRENCE. MY TRUCK WAS PARKED AT WORK AND I HAD STARTED IT TO WARM IT UP. IT WAS 32 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND TURNED ON MY REAR DEFROSTER FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE OWNING THE TRUCK. WITHIN 2 MINUTES ONLY THE DRIVERS SIDE OF MY 3 PART REAR DEFROSTER WINDOW WAS WORKING. IT GOT HOT ENOUGH THAT IT BROKE THE GLASS. THE CORNER WHERE THE WIRE CONNECTION IS WAS HOT TO THE TOUCH AND IT BURNED THROUGH A STICKER I HAVE ON THE REAR WINDOW. I TOOK IT TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE. THE NEXT DAY I WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER DENIED MY WARRANTY, BECAUSE THEY DON'T COVER GLASS. MY QUESTION TO THEM WAS IF I PAY OUT OF POCKET TO REPLACE THE WINDOW WILL THE DEFROSTER MALFUNCTION AGAIN? THEY TOLD ME TO FILE A CLAIM WITH CHRYLER WHICH I DID. ON RAMFORUMZ.COM SOMEONE ELSE WITH A 2015 RAM 1500 SAID THEY HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO THEM. IT IS STARTING TO GET COLD IN THE US AND I THINK THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO BE SHOWING UP A LOT WHEN PEOPLE GO TO USE THEIR DEFROSTERS.

MY RAM TRUCK SHIFTED FROM DRIVE TO PARK WHILE TRAVELING AT 40 MPH. WHEN THE TRUCK SHIFTED TO PARK IT SLID TO A STOP AFTER IT VEERED RIGHT AND WENT UP ON THE SIDE WALK MISSING A PEDESTRIAN AND PHONE POLL. CHRYSLER, MILE ONE, AND HALL CHRYSLER JEEP IN VIRGINIA BEACH ARE DOING NOTHING TO HELP ME OUT OF THIS TRUCK. THE TRUCK IS ONLY 19 DAYS OLD WITH 1000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT. THE TRUCK WAS MOST CERTAINLY MOVING AND I WAS LUCKY I HAD JUST LEFT THE INTERSTATE. I'VE ASKED TO HAVE THE TRUCK BOUGHT BACK SO I CAN BUY A DIFFERENT TRUCK FROM ANOTHER MANUFACTURER. THE TRUCK HAD A DAMAGED COMPUTER AND MELTED TRANSMISSION SENSOR SWITCH ONCE INSPECTED BY DODGE.

WENT TO DO AN OIL CHANGE AND NOTICED OIL IN THE COOLANT EXPANSION TANK. TOOK PICTURE AND SHOWED DEALERSHIP. THEY ASKED US TO HAVE IT TOWED IN. THIS IS A LARMINE ECO DIESEL WITH 9,600 MILES ON THE ENGINE. DEALERSHIP STILL HASN'T FIGURED OUT WHAT THE "DID NOT TRAIN" ERROR MESSAGE WAS -PREVIOUSLY REPORTED ALONG WITH THE STEERING SHACKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

2015 RAM 1500 SPORT 4X2 - WHEN TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS ABOVE 65 MPH, THE REAR END BEGINS TO VIBRATE/SHAKE TO THE POINT CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE BECOMES A CONCERN. IF YOU SLOW DOWN IT GOES AWAY BUT THEN COMES RIGHT BACK WHEN GOING 65 OR OVER AGAIN. VIBRATION IS FELT IN THE SEAT BUT NOT THE STEERING WHEEL OR PEDALS. WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP ON 9/11 AND TIRES WERE RE-BALANCED. DEALERSHIP STATED THAT FIXED THE ISSUE WHEN IT DID NOT. GOING BACK TO DEALERSHIP ON 9/28 TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED BY MANY AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES CONTROL OF THEIR RAM VEHICLE AND CRASHES. IF I WERE TO HIT A BUMP IT WOULD BE VERY EASY TO LOSE CONTROL DUE TO THE HORRIBLE VIBRATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 TO 35 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE AT A STOP SIGN. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

IT WAS EARLY IN THE MORNING (0430), I GOT CALLED INTO WORK, THE WINOWS IN THE TRUCK WERE FOGGED UP, SO I TURNEDON MY REAR WINDOW DE-FROSTER AND FRONT WINDOW DE-FROSTER. AS I TURNED THE CORNER OUT OF NEIGHBORHOOD (LESS THAN 1/2 MILE) I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND I THOUGHT I HIT SOMETHING. I STOPPED THE TRUCK AND GOT OUT TO INSPECT IT, AFTER SEEING THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE BODY I LOOKED UP AND SAW A LARGE HOLE IN MY DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WINDOW THE SIZE OF A GRAPEFRUIT. AS I WAS INSPECTING THE WINDOW I TOUCHED THE LOWER LEFT CORNER AND BURNDED MY FINGER. IT WAS LIKE TOUCHING A LIGHT BULB THAT IS ON. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE DE-FROSTER OFF AND CHECKED THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW AND IT WAS AT A NORMAL TEMPERATURE.

FROM DAY ONE I HAVE HAD A SEVERE VIBRATION FROM THE REAR OF MY TRUCK AT SPEED ABOVE 60 MPH IT WILL VIBRATE THE FLOOR BOARD AND FRONT SEAT AND CENTER CONSOLE SEVERELY. AFTER MANY DISCUSSIONS WITH RAM AND THE DEALER HAVE AGREED TO REPLACE MY GOOD YEAR SRA 275-60-20 WITH A NEW SET OF TIRES SAME TYPE. TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM THEY DID SO ON 8-28-2015 9950 MILES IT HAS MADE NO DIFFERENCE. I BROUGHT THIS TSB I FOUND HERE ON NHTSA ID NUMBER 10056977 SERVICE BULLETIN NO. 16-001-14 TO THIER ATTENTION THEY SAY THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THAT TSB I AM VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE AFTER SOME RESEARCH ON MY OWN IT SEEMS THERE ARE A GROWING NUMBER OF 2015 1500'S WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. IT IT NEEDS TO BE MOVED TO A RECALL BECAUSE IT COULD BE A HAZARD WAITING TO HAPPEN AND IT COULD BE CAUSING OTHER DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK. I AM GOING BY THE DEALER TODAY 8-31-2015 TO SEE WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO NOW, VEHICLES TODAY ARE TO EXPENSIVE TO HAVE THESE TYPE OF ISSUES MINE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 10000 MILES AND NO FIX IN SIGHT THIS IS MY 5TH ATTEMPT TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED.

2015 DODGE RAM LARAMIE, 4X4 WITH ECO DIESEL MOTOR. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE TRUCK BEGINS TO VIBRATE, 65 MPH AND GREATER. THE VIBRATION APPEARS TO ORIGINATE IN THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE, AS SPEED INCREASES THE VIBRATION INCREASES. WHEN THE ROAD BECOMES ROUGH (I.E. POTHOLE ON I95) CONTROL BECOMES AN ISSUE DUE TO THE VIBRATION. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER, AND DEALER REPLACED TIRES. PROBLEM IS STILL PERSISTENT AND SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. TRUCK NOW HAS 1000 MILES ON IT AND IS BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN FOR DIAGNOSTIC, AND REPAIR. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THE TRUCK HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALER AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY UNSURE OF WHAT THE ISSUE MAY BE. I HAVE TAKEN VIDEO OF THE MY CHILD'S CAR SEAT IN THE BACK OF THE TRUCK SHAKING FROM THE VIBRATION AND PRESENTED IT TO THE DEALER TO HELP DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. FAMILY DOES NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AND IF THIS PROBLEM EXISTS IN OTHER LIKE MODELS VEHICLES IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER AS IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN FOR CONSUMERS AND OTHER MOTORISTS.

NEW TRUCK. LEFT DEALER AND DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 100 MILES. STOPPED AT A GAS STATION TO TOP IT OFF. PUMP SHUT OFF WHEN IT WAS FULL. SQUEEZED THE PUMP NOZZLE AGAIN, LIKE I HAVE ALWAYS DONE TO ROUND OUT THE DOLLAR AMOUNT, AND FUEL GURGLED OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND RAN DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE STATED THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THEM ALSO ON VARIOUS YEAR RAMS AND THEY JUST GOT USED TO NOT SQUEEZING THE NOZZLE A SECOND TIME.

MEANT TO TAKE IT IN, BUT HAD BEEN SO BUSY WITH WORK, THAT I WAS GOING TO WAIT UNTIL THE FIRST OIL CHANGE. I NOTED THOSE TWO ISSUES ON AN EMAIL REVIEW/SURVEY THAT DODGE HOUNDED ME TO FILL OUT. EXACTLY TWO MONTHS AFTER OWNING THE TRUCK ON JULY 28TH, THE SAME DAY I MADE MY SECOND PAYMENT, I WAS AT THE GARAGE AT WORK, LEFT THE TRUCK ON AND PUT IT IN PARK, GOT OUT OF THE CAR, CLOSED THE DOOR AND AS I WAS GETTING READY TO GO AROUND THE TRUCK TO GO INSIDE MY JOB, THE CAR STARTED TO BACK OUT BY ITSELF, I TRIED GETTING BACK INTO THE TRUCK TO STOP IT BUT UNFORTUNATELY, I FAILED, THE TRUCK ALMOST RAN ME OVER.

ONLY HAD THE NEW 2015 RAM 1500 LARAMIE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS WHEN THE FIRST OCCURANCE OF 3 SO FAR HAPPENED. WHEN TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AND I BACK OFF THE GAS TO CRUISING SPEED THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES EXTREMELY HARD AND THROUGHOUT THE DRIVE TRAIN VIOLANTENTLY FEELING LIKE I'M LOSING CONTROL. EXTREMELY SCARY AND THE TRUCK ONLY HAD ABOUT 400 MILES ON IT WHEN I PURCHASED IT ABOUT A MONTH AGO. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR AUTONATION TO LOOK AT IT AUGUST 4TH. IT WAS PURCHASED FROMTOWN & COUNTRY IN WENACHEE WA. THE ISSUES WAS REPORTED TO TOWN & COUNTRY WHEN I WENT IN TO HAVE THE BED LINER SPRAYED.

IT ALL STARTED AROUND 850 MILES WITH THIS VEHICLE. I GOT INTO IT AND PUT IT INTO DRIVE AND THE CAR ACCELERATED WITHOUT MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL. I TOOK IT TO SHUMAN CHRYSLER IN WALLED LAKE AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. A MONTH LATER THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. I GOT INTO THE VEHICLE AT WORK AND PUT IT INTO DRIVE AND THE TRUCH ACCELERATED WITHOUT FOOT ON PEDAL. TOOK DIRECTLY TO SHUMAN CHRYSLER IN WALLED LAKE MICHIGAN AND THEY TOLD ME AFTER FIXING IT THAT THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE SAID SOMETHING ELSE SOMETHING LIKE THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WAS BAD..

MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE BRAKES WERE AUTOMATICALLY DEPLOYED A FEW TIMES WITHOUT TOUCHING THEM. THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES AND THE THIRD TIME WAS TWO DAYS AGO AND WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO CHRYSLER JEEP RAM IN ALHAMBRA, CA TO BE EXAMINED. THEY TEST DROVE IT AND EXAMINED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE AN AUTOMATIC BREAKING MECHANISM AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. EACH TIME OF THE BREAKING, THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ON AND WE DO NOT BELIEVE WE EVEN HAD THE FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. WE FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS LIFE SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. WE PURCHASED THIS ONE THINKING IT WAS A SAFE TRUCK, YET NOW WE ARE VERY CONCERNED. I HOPE SOMEONE WILL LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. IF THIS HAPPENED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, I AM SURE WE WOULD BE REAR ENDED.
