2016 Ram 1500 complaints

BACK IN THE END OF AUGUST/BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER 2016 I TOOK MY 2016 RAM 1500 IN FOR SHIFTING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER 2 WEEKS OF WAITING THEY REPLACED THE VALVE ASSEMBLY PART ON THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER 3 DAYS I NOTICED I COULD NOT GET OUT OF 1ST GEAR. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IN EASLEY SC AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT SO THEY CAN TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM AGAIN. ON 9/17/2016 IT WAS DETERMINED TO HAVE A BAD TRANSMISSION AND I WAS TOLD THAT RAM WAS REPLACING WITH A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION, HOWEVER THERE WAS NOT AN ETA FOR DELIVERY. I WAS TOLD THAT THE LOCAL REP WOULD FOLLOW UP ON THE STATUS AND NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD BACK FROM HIM EITHER. I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH THE CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE CASE MANAGERS AND THEY CAN NOT EVEN GET AN ETA FOR THE PART. THE TRUCK ALSO NEEDS (2) RECALLS CORRECTED AS WELL. II ASKED ABOUT A LOANER AND WAS TOLD UNTIL THEY HAVE AN ETA ON THE PART THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE A LOANER. SO I AM NOT FORCED TO DRIVE A TRUCK WITH A BAD TRANSMISSION. ALSO I WANT TO MENTION THAT THE TRUCK IS BEING REPAIRED UNDER THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURE'S WARRANTY. MY EXTENDED MOPAR WARRANTY HAS NOT EVEN KICKED IN YET. SO BASICALLY I HAVE A TRUCK THAT THE COMPANY CAN NOT GET A MAJOR PART UNDER THE WARRANTY. I CAN BARELY GET OUT OF 1ST GEAR AND WHEN IT DOES I SUFFER A VERY HARD JOLT WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT RAM IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS.

I WAS BACKING A PONTOON BOAT WHILE IN 4WD LOW IN SOFT MULCH, I THEN STOPPED AND SWITCHED BACK TO 2WD. ONCE THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTING WAS COMPLETE, THE FUEL SENSOR FAIL MESSAGE APPEARED IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, THE LOW FUEL WARNING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BOTH ILLUMINATED. THE FUEL (GAS) TANK WAS ABOUT 3/4 FULL WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE HAD 60,054 MILES ON IT. SO FAR THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO RUN AS NORMAL BUT THE ILLUMINATED WARNINGS ARE QUITE A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING.

WHILE TURNING FROM A STOP OR SLOW RATE OF SPEED LOSS OF POWER STEERING, POWER STEERING WARNING COMES ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WHILE THIS PROBLEM IS PRESENT, THIS CAUSE A HARD STEERING ISSUE AND AT A VERY SUDDEN RATE WHEN MAKING A TURN AND COULD LEAD TO A CRASH

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP(PEP BOYS) FOR CHECKING OF A SLIGHT WOBBLE IN THE DRIVE LINE OR DRIVE SHAFT OF MY VEHICLE. MY 2016 RAM 1500 HAD JUST COME OUT OF THE PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY WHEN THE WOBBLE STARTED AT 60MPH. WHILE SEARCHING SEVERAL WEBSITES, FORUMS, YOUTUBE AND GOOGLE, I CAME UPON MANY OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE THAT RAM EVIDENTLY KNOWS ABOUT. RECENTLY I HAD BEEN TO THE RAM DEALERSHIP FOR ANOTHER RECALL ISSUE FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL. I MENTIONED TO THE TECHNICIAN ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH THE WOBBLE, WHICH BECAME A CONVERSATION WHICH QUICKLY BECAME AVOIDED BY TWO PEOPLE THAT WERE TECHNICIANS. THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME MORE TROUBLESOME NOW THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT AND DRINKS IN THE DRINK ARE A CONSTANT SHAKE! NOW THAT THE WHOLE VEHICLE SHAKES, I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND MAY EFFECT THE BRAKING SYSTEM WITH THIS VIGOROUS SHAKE. WHEN I SPOKE TO SEVERAL PEOPLE REGARDING MY ISSUES AND MANY OTHERS, THIS ISSUE WAS DUE TO A TWO PIECE DRIVE SHAFT WITH A RUBBER BUSHING OF SOME SORT AND THE UNIVERSAL JOINT THAT CONTACTS THE REAR END.

VEHICLE LOSS ELECTRICITY WHILE RUNNING ON HIGWAY OR ROAD, AT THE BEGINNING IT STARTED TURNING EVERYTHING OFF AND TURNING ON ABOUT 2 OR 3 SECONDS LATER. PROBLEM STARTED AT THE BEGINNING OF JUNE 2018. THEN ON AUGUST 18 THE CAR TURNED OFF COMPLETELY AND TRANSMISSION TURNED TO PARK BY ITSELF MAKING A LOUD GRINDING SOUND, CAR DID STARTED AGAIN AND WAS TAKEN FOR SERVICE; IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON SEPTEMBER 3, 2018.

I HAVE A 2016 RAM 1500 SLT QUAD CAB. 5.7 LITER HEMI AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ROTORS DIAL SHIFTER. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN PUT IN PARK VEHICLE WAS STILL IN REVERSE. HAVE MENTIONED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE LAST 2 OIL CHANGES. THEY JUST IGNORED IT. YESTERDAY 9/3/2018 WENT OUT TO MOVE THE TRUCK. PUT IT IN DRIVE, SELECTOR SHOWED DRIVE AND TRUCK WENT IN REVERSE WHEN I GAVE IT GAS. THIS CAUSED ME TO HIT MY SPRINTER VAN DOING DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. NOW I'M LEERY OF DRIVING IT. IT TOOK SEVERAL TRIES TO GET IT TO GO INTO DRIVE. PLEASE HELP. AFTER GOOGLING THIS I SAW THAT THERE IS A RECALL. CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD MY TRUCK IS NOT IN THE RECALL.

NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 18V-486. THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED JULY 26, 2018 BUT FCA STILL HAS NOT ISSUED THE PART FOR THIS RECALL AND IT HAS BEEN A FULL MONTH ALREADY. I USE MY BED TO CARRY GOODS ALL THE TIME AND I AM IN FEAR OF THE TAILGATE OPENING. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. THANK YOU

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. WHILE ADDING FUEL TO THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL PUMP NOZZLE BECAME STUCK IN THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE. THE CONTACT HAD TO REMOVE THE NOZZLE FROM THE FUEL TANK BY TWISTING AND PULLING WITH FORCE EACH TIME THE FUEL TANK WAS FILLED IN ORDER TO RELEASE THE FUEL PUMP NOZZLE. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH VICTORVILLE MOTORS (14617 CIVIC DRIVE, VICTORVILLE, CA 92394, (760) 733-8484), BUT THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO HAVE THE FUEL TANK INSPECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100.

I WAS BACKING DOWN BOAT RAMP AND PUT TRUCK IN PARK I GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK TO SECURE BOAT TO TRAILER AND THE TRUCK ROLLED DOWN BOAT RAMP KNOCKING ME DOWN AND DRAGGING ME INTO THE WATER AND TRUCK COMPLETELY SEMERAGED IN BOTTOM OF LAKE.

WHEN ACCELERATING RAPIDLY (A HEAVY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL) THE VEHICLE OFTEN REMAINS IN ACCELERATION MODE ONCE THE PEDAL IS RELEASED, AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO INCREASE ITS VELOCITY. BRAKING DOES NOT FIX THIS ISSUE. TWICE NOW I'VE HAD TO SWITCH THE TRUCK TO NEUTRAL, AND LET THE COMPUTER FIGURE OUT I DIDN'T WANT THE GAS PEDAL ANYMORE. THIS WAS A RESULT OF MERGING ONTO A FREEWAY, AND PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE.

AT EXTREMELY LOW SPEED THE FRONT COLLISION WARNING SENSOR WILL OCCASIONALLY FALSELY WARN OF AN OBJECT PRESENT. NUMEROUS REPAIRS HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTED BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. DEALER CLAIMS WE ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO HAVE EVER REPORTED THIS PROBLEM. WAITING FOR FCA TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO NEXT. I HAVE VIDEOS OF THE EVENTS BUT CURRENTLY NO STILL PHOTOS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL DOZEN TIMES STARTING IN DEC 2016 AND AS RECENTLY AS AUG 6, 2018.

THE TRUNK DOOR LATELY, IS OPENING CONSTANTLY EITHER WHEN DRIVING OR IN A STOP

DROPPING BOAT IN WATER ON SLIGHT GRADE RAMP. PUT CAR IN PARK AND SHUT DOWN. AS I DROPPED BOAT FROM THE TRAILER THE TRUCK ROLLED DOWN THE RAMP IMMERSING 3/4 OF THE BODY IN THE SALT WATER. NO ONE WAS BEHIND THE WHEEL. THIS PRODUCT HAS HAD ISSUES WITH ROLLAWAYS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TAILGATE WOULD INDEPENDENTLY OPEN. DON DAVIS DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP (1901 N COLLINS ST, ARLINGTON, TX) WAS CONTACTED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BECAUSE THE CONTACT REFUSED TO PAY THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 46,000.

MY WIFE, DOG AND I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT OF A COUNTERTOP SUPPLY STORE. IT WAS APPROXIMATELY 80 DEGREASE OUTSIDE SO I ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOWS TO HALF AND LEFT THE TRUCK RUNNING IN PARK TO KEEP THE A/C ON FOR THE DOG. IN THIS PARKING LOT WE WERE THE ONLY VEHICLE PARKED NEAR BY AND THERE WAS NO PARKING BLOCK IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK. WE WERE IN THE STORE APPROXIMATELY 20 MIN LOOKING FOR A COUNTERTOP THEN WENT TO SIT DOWN WITH THE SALES SPECIALIST. ABOUT 5 MIN INTO THAT CONVERSATION THE SECRETARY IN THE FRONT YELLED "YOUR TRUCK IS DRIVING OFF". I IMMEDIATELY RAN OUT THE DOOR TO FIND MY TRUCK ABOUT 25 YARDS AWAY AND ACROSS THE MAIN ROAD. THE ROAD DID NOT HAVE CURBS BUT DID HAVE STEEP CULVERTS ON BOTH SIDES (NOTE: I WOULD NOT THINK A TRUCK AT IDLE WOULD MAKE IT UP TO THE ROAD) THE TRUCK "TOOK OFF" PER 3 WORKERS THAT WERE NEAR BY IN THE LOT MOVING A LARGE SLAB OF GRANITE, AND A SIMI DRIVER WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD STATING THAT BOTH MY RAM AND HIS TRACTOR HIT TIRES AND THAT'S WHAT GOT MY TRUCK TO STOP. EVERYONE THAT WITNESSED THIS STATED THE DOG WAS IN THE BACK SEAT AND NO ONE GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE. AS I APPROACHED THE TRUCK IT SOUNDED TO BE RUNNING AT IDLE AND WHEN I GRABBED THE DOOR HANDLE THE LOCKS UNLOCKED AS NORMAL. I FOUND THE TRUCK IN DRIVE AND RPM AT NORMAL IDLE RANGE. THE TRUCK ALLOWED ME TO PUT IT BACK IN PARK. I THEN RESTARTED THE TRUCK, MOVED IT BACK TO THE PARKING LOT. THE BUSINESS HAS SECURITY CAMERA FOOTAGE OF THIS SHOWING HOW MY TRUCK UN TAMPERED WITH WENT FROM IDLE

JULY 2ND I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY, OPENED MY GARAGE DOOR,PLACED VEHICLE IN PARK AND EXITED VEHICLE TO GO IN THE HOUSE. MY FIANCE STAYED IN VEHICLE, I TURNED AND YELLED TO HER TO COME IN HOUSE AS I WAS GOING TO LET DOGS OUT BEFORE WE LEFT AGAIN.I PROCEEDED IN HOUSE AND SHE EXITED VEHICLE TO COME IN.SHE WALKED THROUGH THE GARAGE AND I HEARD HER SCREAMING FRANTICALLY, I RAN OUT TO THE GARAGE AND THE TRUCK FOLLOWED HER INTO THE GARAGE AND SHE WAS BETWEEN MY WORKBENCH AND THE TRUCK.I PULLED HER OUT OF THE WAY AND THE TRUCK CONTINUED PUSHING MY BASEMENT WALL IN ABOUT 7 INCHES. I RAN AROUND THE TRUCK AND APPLIED THE BRAKES,IT WAS IN PARK.WE CONTACTED FIAT CHRYSLER, THEY SENT ME A PAPER TO SIGN ALLOWING THEM TO GET INFORMATION FROM THE ORC IN THE VEHICLE, WHICH I ALLOWED.ON FRIDAY JULY 20TH WE MET WITH AN INSPECTOR AND HE HOOKED UP COMPUTERS TO THE TRUCK TO GET THE INFORMATION STATING HE SENDS REPORT TO FCA AND THEY WOULD NOTIFY US.WE GOT A LETTER YESTERDAY JULY 27TH BASICALLY STATING PER OUR OWNERS MANUAL WE SHOULD ALWAYS USE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND DECLINED ANY RESPONSIBILITY. NEVER STATED OR SHARED WHAT THE OCR RESULTS SHOWED.THIS COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE AND THE ROTARY SHIFTER IS A PROBLEM.A FEW DAYS AFTER THE INCIDENT WHILE DRIVING ON A BEAUTIFUL SUNNY DAY THE WIPERS START UP FULL BOAR LIKE IT WAS POURING OUT.THEY WERE IN THE OFF POSITION. SOMETHING IS WRONG AND THEY ARE TAKING NO RESPONSIBILITY. WE HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER AND THERE IS PROBABLY $3500 TO 5000 DAMAGE JUST TO VEHICLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS OVERREACTING FROM ANY BUMPS IN THE ROAD, MAKING DRIVING DIFFICULT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (BETTENHAUSEN AUTOMOTIVE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 8355 W 159TH ST, TINLEY PARK, IL 60477, (708) 532-2665) WHERE UNKNOWN REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THE LOWER SHAFT OF THE STEERING COLUMN. THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS RETRIEVED FROM THE DEALER, ALONG WITH A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED. THE CONTACT RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY PERFORMED LOCK TIGHTENING ON THE STEERING SYSTEM AND THAT A NEW STEERING GEAR WAS NEEDED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE PARTS WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL JANUARY OR FEBRUARY OF 2019. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION IN WHICH I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE RAIN AND HIT THE CONCRETE MEDIAN TWICE. THE BUMPER WAS PUSHED BACK TO THE TIRE AND THE AIRBAG SWITCH WAS TRIPPED BUT DIDN'T DEPLOY. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ACCIDENT I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM THE VEHICLE VHR DIAGNOSTICS SYSTEM STATING THAT THE VEHICLE RECENTLY NOTICED A AIRBAG ALARM LIGHT AND ISSUED ME A RECALL AFTER THE FACT.

OUR TRUCK IS TWO YEARS OLD. WE HAVE 77,000 MILES ON IT AND THE FUEL SENSOR/PUMP WENT BAD. IT'S NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY; HOWEVER, A FUEL PUMP SHOULD LAST MORE THAN 2 YEARS AND 77,000 MILES. WE FILL UP WITH FUEL. EVERYTHING IS FINE UNTIL THE NEEDLES HITS THE FIRST LINE. WE GET A FUEL SENSOR WARNING AND THE GUAGE DROPS TO EMPTY. THE TRUCK RUNS FINE. NO HESITATION OF STALLING. WOULDN'T KNOW ANYTHING WAS WRONG EXCEPT FOR THE WARNING LIGHTS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, TOO. ACCORDING TO DODGE, THE TWO ARE RELATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT AND ENGAGE INTO THE REVERSE POSITION WITHOUT JOLTING AND SHAKING. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO THIRD GEAR, IT FAILED TO IMMEDIATELY ENGAGE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE CONTACT HAD TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE IMMEDIATELY OR THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. FURTHERMORE, WHILE A BOAT WAS HITCHED TO THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT INADVERTENTLY ROLLED AWAY. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS FORCEFULLY DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ROLL UNTIL IT REACHED THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL. AN UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATOR WOULD ILLUMINATE ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTING FROM THIRD GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NAPLETON'S NORTHLAKE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (3701 NORTHLAKE BLVD, LAKE PARK, FL 33403, (888) 682-8985) FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT A FAILURE COULD NOT BE FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (DCH CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT OF TEMECULA, 26845 YNEZ RD, TEMECULA, CA 92591) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL FILTER CLAMP FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,495.

TAILGATE RANDOMLY OPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE HITS 15 MPH AND ACTIVATES THE DOOR LOCKS ALONG WITH THE TAILGATE LOCK. CONTENTS SPILL OUT OF THE BED AND INTO TRAFFIC. I CANT FIND A SAFETY BULLETIN BUT THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. THIS HAS HAPPENED 15 TIMES ON MY VEHICLE IN THE LAST MONTH. THE VEHICLE IS APPROX 18 MONTHS OLD AND HAS LESS THAN 30K MILES ON IT. EXAMPLE OF THE ISSUE. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=UHA6WUVQTHG

BOJANGLES PARKING LOT, PUT TRUCK IN PARK. GOT OUT, LOOKED TO MAKE SURE I WAS NOT BLOCKING ANYBODY BEHIND ME AND WALKED INTO THE STORE BECAUSE MY ORDER WAS WRONG. STOOD IN LINE FOR ROUGHLY A MINUTE OR 2 AND HEARD A CRASH, TURNED AROUND AND MY TRUCK HAD HIT A FORD EXPLORER ON THE DRIVER REAR SIDE OF THE BUMPER. NO INJURIES, EVERYONE WAS OKAY. BUMPER SCRATCHED UP, GAVE THEM MY INFORMATION. I'M CURIOUS TO HOW MY TRUCK JUMPED OUT OF PARK INTO N OR D. IF IT WAS IN N, MY TRUCK WOULD HAVE MOVED WHEN I WAS GETTING OUT OF THE TRUCK, AND WOULD HAVE TAKEN A MUCH SHORTER AMOUNT OF TIME TO HIT THE OTHER VEHICLE. THE OTHER PEOPLE SAID THEY SAW ME WALK INTO THE RESTAURANT AND MY TRUCK WASN'T MOVING.

MY CRUISE CONTROL WAS ENGAGED AS I WAS GOING DOWN A MOUNTAIN APPROACHING A SHARP TURN WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES THE PETAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE TRUCK ACCELERATED. I WENT INTO THE WOODS WHERE I HIT NUMEROUS TREES AND TOTALED THE VEHICLE. WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS

ACCORDING TO DIAGNOSTICS DONE ON THE TRUCK, THE CONTROL MODULE FOR THE POWER STEERING HAS SHORTED OUT. THIS IS THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL OF TRUCKS SUBJECTED TO THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. UNFORTUNATELY WHEN SEARCHING BY MY VIN, MY TRUCK DOESN'T SEEM TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH THIS IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM.

WHILE THE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION TRAVELING ABOUT 70MPH DOWN THE INTERSTATE, MY PASSENGER WINDOW FELL HALFWAY INTO THE DOOR. THIS CAUSED ME TO SWERVE AND ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT WAS 20 DEGREES OUTSIDE AROUND 430 AM AND THE TRUCK AND BEEN WARMED UP SUFFICIENTLY AND THE HEATER WAS ON. HOWEVER I WAS STILL TOLD IT HAPPENED BECAUSE IT WAS COLD OUTSIDE AND THE "CLIPS" THAT HOLD THE WINDOW HAD BROKEN. I DID NOT ATTEMPT TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW. IT CONSTANTLY KEPT FALLING DOWN BY ITSELF AND I HAD TO HOLD THE POWER BUTTON UP TO KEEP IT FROM DOING SO, WHILE DRIVING IN THE MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. ONCE I GOT TO WORK AND PARKED MY TRUCK IN A UNSECURED PARKING GARAGE, THE WINDOW WAS UP THIS WAS AT ABOUT 630 AM CST. UPON RETURNING TO MY PARKED/STATIONARY TRUCK AT A BREAK AROUND 9 AM CST, THE WINDOW HAD DROPPED HALFWAY DOWN AND THE SAME THROUGHOUT THE DAY. I WENT TO THE DEALER AT ONCE, AND WAS TOLD THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, AND ITS NOT COVERED BECAUSE OF MY MILEAGE. SO I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR IT, FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT EVEN 2 YEARS OLD, AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. NOT TO MENTION THAT IT WOULD NOT STAY UP AND THE TRUCK WAS NOT ATTENDED TO IN A UNSECURE GARAGE IN THE NOT SO NICE PART OF THE CITY. NOW THE BACK DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW IS DOING THE SAME THING, AND ITS NO WHERE NEAR COLD (CONSTANTLY ABOVE 60 DEGREES EVEN AT NIGHT). THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM FOR ALL VEHICLES THAT ARE MADE BY DODGE THAT HAVE THIS WORTHLESS AND CHEAPLY MADE WINDOW MECHANISMS.

MY TRUCK HAS JUST AT 36,000 MILES AND IS A 2016. AT AROUND 34,000 THE CRUISE CONTROL HAS NOT BEEN WORKING PROPERLY. THE ON/OFF BUTTON DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER IF THE TRUCK IS MOVING OR STATIONARY. IT DECIDES WHEN IT WANTS TO TURN ON OR NOT. MAY GO DAYS WITHOUT WORKING, MAY WORK FINE ONE DAY, AND THEN NOT WORK AGAIN FOR DAYS. IT IS GOING TO THE DEALER TODAY - IT NOW HAS 35,966. I WOULD HOPE IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY, BUT MORE TO COME. I FIRST NOTICED THIS AROUND APRIL 23, 2018 WHEN I STARTED MY NEW JOB AND NOW DRIVE 40 MILES BACK AND FORTH TO WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT VIBRATION WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BONNEVILLE AND SON CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (625 HOOKSETT RD, MANCHESTER, NH) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED TIRE MAINTENANCE TO REPAIR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FOSS MOTORS (133 PORTSMOUTH AVE, EXETER, NH), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 24,600. *TT

I KEEP HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN THE TRUCK. THE PLUGIN AREAS FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICES IN THE REAR PASSENGER KEEPS BURNING OUT FUSES. I AM ALSO HAVING ISSUES WITH MY CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL ACTING LIKE IT HAS A SHORT TURNING ITSELF ON AND OFF. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE OR IN THE DRIVE WAY AS WELL.

VEHICLE WAS POINTED DOWNHILL ON A CONCRETE DRIVEWAY WITH A TRAILER ATTACHED WHICH WEIGHED APPROXIMATELY 1200 POUNDS. THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION WAS IN PARK, THE PARKING BRAKE APPLIED AND THE ENGINE OFF. A WHEEL CHOCK WAS PLACED IN FRONT (DOWNHILL SIDE) OF THE DRIVERS REAR WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT UNDISTRIBUTED FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 TO 30 MINUTES WHEN IT BEGAN TO ROLL DOWNHILL ON ITS OWN. IT CAME TO REST IN A DITCH.

THE TAILGATE COMES OPEN SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING. THE TAILGATE DID NOT HAVE ANY CARGO AGAINST IT. THE TAILGATE HAS CAME OPEN SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST TWO MONTHS. LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ON 5/18/2018.

I HAVE A 2016 RAM ECODIESEL FULLY LOADED LIMITED 1500 AND I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH IT THIS PAST YEAR. I HAVE GONE TO THREE DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND NONE OF THEM CAN FIX THE VEHICLE IT ONLY HAS 40K MILES ON IT AND IS IN PERFECT CONDITION OTHER THAN NOW IT IS OVERHEATING AND THE FAN IS ON CONSTANTLY. I BELIEVE MAYBE THERE IS A LEAK IN THE COOLANT LINE? I DON'T KNOW, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS HAVE BEEN USELESS, I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIPS WITH THE PROBLEM ABOUT 10 TIMES. WHAT DO I DO? IT WAS A VERY EXPENSIVE VEHICLE AND I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO BE GOING THROUGH THIS. HOW DO I GET RAM TO RESPOND? WHO DO I CONTACT TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THEM?

EXHAUST MANIFOLD SOUNDS LIKE ITS LEAKING AT START UP
