SATELLITE RECEPTION KEEPS CUTTING OUT AND RADIO FREQUENTLY CUTS OUT WHILE DRIVING.

WELL DOCUMENTED, KNOWN SERVICING ISSUES WITH 'AIR RIDE SUSPENSION' SYSTEM INSTALLED IN 2017 RAM 1500 TRUCK. A SIMPLE ONLINE INVESTIGATIVE SEARCH REVEALS COUNTLESS SCORES OF SERVICE CASES AND HIGHLY CATASTROPHIC FAILURES OF MANY ASPECTS OF THIS EQUIPMENT SYSTEM WHICH HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO THE MANUFACTURER (RCA CORPORATION) FOR MANY MANY YEARS AND THESE FAILURES OF THIS SUSPENSION SYSTEM CONTINUE TO HAUNT CONSUMERS AND HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS AMONGST OTHER INCONVENIENCES.

POWER STEERING WORKS AND DON'T WORK DONT WORK WHEN TEMP IS 40;OR BELOW THEN DRIVE FOR 10_12 MILES SHUT ENGINE OFF RESTART AND POWER STEERING WORKING

THE "SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL" LIGHT AS WELL AS THE "CEL" ILLUMINATE AND THE VEHICLE GOES IN TO LIMP MODE. I HAD THIS ISSUE AT 3100 MILES AND IT LEFT THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE UNTIL A DEALERSHIP PERFORMED A PROGRAMMING FLASH. NOW AT 31100 MILES THE ISSUE HAS HAPPENED AGAIN NEARLY CAUSING ME TO GET T-BONED DUE TO THE LIMP MODE CAUSING A SIGNIFICANT POWER REDUCTION. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR FOUR DAYS NOW WITHOUT ANY FURTHER COMMUNICATION FROM THEM. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY RAM, MY TRUCK HAS THE ECODIESEL ENGINE. I HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME ISSUE ACROSS THE FIAT/ CHRYSLER LINEUP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 RAM 1500. WHILE THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND WAS DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND SHOOK VIOLENTLY. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE MORE THAN 60 MPH. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MAZDA OF MESQUITE (LOCATED AT 15900 LYNDON B JOHNSON FWY, MESQUITE, TX 75150, (972) 686-6200), BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE DEALER REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE PAST 30 MPH. TRI-LIVES MOTORS (180 STATE HWY F, BRANSON, MO 65616, (417) 334-7543) DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND CODE NUMBERS: P0299 (SUPERCHARGER UNDERBOOST) AND P2459 (DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER REGENERATION FREQUENCY). THE CODES WERE RESET AND THE MASTER AIR FLOW WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. AFTER DRIVING 100 MILES, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE SAME DEALER AND WAS INFORMED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND TAKE IT TO A NEARBY DEALER IF IT LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND THE SAME CODES APPEARED. THE TECHNICIAN RESET THE CODE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS NO REMEDY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CORWIN DODGE OF SPRINGFIELD (LOCATED AT 1025 W SUNSHINE ST, SPRINGFIELD, MO 65807, (417) 862-9272) FOR A BUYBACK. A MASTER AIR SENSOR WAS REPLACED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS STILL NOT REPAIRED AND REMAINED AT THE DEALER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED EVERY MONTH SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SEVERAL UNKNOWN DEALERS IN DIFFERENT STATES WHERE THE CODES WERE RESET; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 58629945. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 155,000.

MY TRUCK HAS A MANUFACTURING DATE OF 11/17 AND ONLY HAS 37K MILES ON THE TRUCK. RANDOMLY MY TRUCK WENT INTO A "LIMP MODE" AND A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS DRIVING DOWN UNIVERSITY DRIVE IN HUNTSVILLE, AL AT ROUGHLY 45MPH ACCELERATING UP A SMALL INCLINE. THE 'LIMP MODE' IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND RESTRICTS THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE OR DRIVE AT A NORMAL PACE. HAD THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY OR PULLING OUT (WHAT WOULD NORMALLY BE SAFE) INTO TRAFFIC AND MY ABILITY TO ACCELERATE WAS EFFECTED IT COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS. I TAKE MY 13-WEEK OLD DAUGHTER TO AND FROM DAYCARE IN THIS TRUCK AND IT HAS BECOME UNSAFE. WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER, THEY ORIGINALLY NOTATED THAT IT WAS JUST A SOFTWARE UPDATE. I LATE GET A CALL THAT THE EGR COOLER HAD GONE OUT, BUT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THEY HAD 6 OTHER ECODIESEL VEHICLES IN FOR THE SAME ISSUE IN THE LAST WEEK. I CALLED THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY HAD ONE IN THE SHOP IN FOR THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I THEN STARTED DOING RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THE EGR COOLER IS A HUGE ISSUE FOR THESE TRUCKS AND FCA REFUSES TO ADDRESS IT. I CALLED THE FCA AND THEY EVENTUALLY AGREED TO REPLACE THE TRUCK ON 'GOOD WILL' AFTER I PAID A DEDUCTIBLE. FCA NEEDS TO PUT A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES AND FIX THE EGR ISSUES. NOW THERE ARE REPORTS THAT THE VALVES ARE STICKING AND CAUSING THE EGR TO CAUSE A FIRE. PURCHASING DEALER: UNIVERSITY CDJR IN ROME, GA SERVICI

NOTICED AT 40K MILES THERE IS ISSUE WITH TIE ROD ENDS JOINTS BECOME LOOSE MAY CAUSE ACCIDENT REPORTED THIS TO A DEALERSHIP THEY TRYING TO BRUSH ME OFF BS THAT THERE IS ISSUE WITH ROCKERS AND LIFTERS IN THE ENGINE AND EXHAUST MANIFOLD STUDS ARE SNAPPING CAUSING EXHAUST TO LEAK AND BECOME LOUDER THAT'S A EMISSION ISSUE ALSO

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD THE ENGINE HAS A SIGNIFICANT POWER LAG AND 'DEAD PEDAL' WHEN YOU ACCELERATE FROM A STOP. IT CREATES A SIGNIFICANT RISK AS THERE IS NO POWER TO ACCELERATE AND AVOID ONCOMING CARS OR DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. OVEN WHEN PEDAL IS ALL THE WAY DEPRESSED THE VEHICLE FAILS TO ACCELERATE.

CARGO BOX LATCH AREA CRACKING ON LEFT SIDE LID..NOTICED WHILE TRAVELING NOT BEING USED. {RAM BOX}

I WAS TAKING A CORNER AT ABOUT 20 MPH AND THE POWER STEERING GAVE OUT CAUSING ME TO ALMOST CRASH THE VEHICLE, A COUPLE MUNUTES LATER IT CAME BACK ON FOR A LITTLE WHILE, AND THEN THE NEXT TIME I STARTED UP THE TRUCK IT HAD NO POWER STEERING AT ALL. NOW WAITING TO GET IT INTO DODGE FOR REPAIRS.

YEAH I STARTED WITH THE SCREENS IN MY DASH GOING DARK THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUE WAS SO NOW IT'S GOTTEN TO WHERE THE WHOLE DASHBOARD AND THE WHOLE EVERYTHING DIES OR SHUTS DOWN. THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE DROPS DOWN AS IF YOU'RE SLAMMED ON YOUR BREAKS YOU CAN FEEL THE PULL THE TRANSMISSION AS IF THAT'S WHAT'S SLOWING ME DOWN. THEN IT HITS RIGHT BACK WITHIN SECONDS IN THE WHOLE VEHICLE ALL THE LIGHTS COME ON EVERYTHING EVERYTHING I'M SO BRIGHT IT ALMOST BLIND YOU AND THEN ALL SUDDEN EVERYTHING CALM DOWN YOU'RE BACK TO NORMAL IN THE PICTURE I SENT IS WHAT THE SCREENS LOOK LIKE AFTERWARDS IT LOOKS LIKE WELL YOU'LL SEE.DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED WHAT AREA ROAD CONDITIONS IT JUST HAPPENS RANDOM INTERVALS. WHAT IS THE SCARE ME THE MOST ARE AT 70 MILES AN HOUR YOU HAVE NO POWER NO NOTHING TO START LOCKING UP AND STARTS BACK UP IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE SENSORS THEY DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT IS BUT I CAN'T GET IT FIXED. IT'S ABOUT THE SCARIEST THING HAVING YOUR VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AT 60 TO 70 MILES AN HOUR QUITE OFTEN. I'VE TALK TO OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME CONDITION. IT'S OVER THE THREE YEARS HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. AND THEY DO KNOW THAT IT IS AN ISSUE BECAUSE THEY HAVE AN UPDATE FOR SOME OF THE ISSUES SO THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS ALLOWING PEOPLE TO DIE OUT THERE.

AFTER ECM REFLASH, NOW THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE FOR 3 SECONDS WITH ENGINE COLD. NO POWER UNTIL DELAY TIME HAS PASSED THEN ITLL ACCEL. ONCE ENGINE IS AT OPERATING TEMP IT DRIVES NORMALLY. THIS ONLY STARTED SINCE THE LATEST ECM AND TCM REFLASHES WERE PERFORMED.

CONCERN #1: INTERMITTENTLY, UPON INITIAL START UP, THE ENGINE MAKES A LOUD CLATTERING NOISE AS IF IT HAS NO OIL IN IT. THE DEALERSHIP WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE CONCERN ONCE BUT IT IS NOT BAD ENOUGH TO REPAIR. CONCERN #2: WHILE COMING TO A SLOW ROLLING STOP (AS IF COMING TO A KNOWN STOP SIGN) THERE IS A HARD BANG/CLUNK JUST BEFORE GETTING TO A COMPLETE STOP, IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE BEING HIT IN THE REAR BY ANOTHER CAR. AS YOU SLOWLY ACCELERATE IT BANGS/CLUNKS AGAIN HARD. THE BANG CAN BE FELT AND HEARD, AND ONLY HAPPENS ON SLOW STOPS, NOT WHEN YOU HAVE TO STOP QUICKLY. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE THIRD TIME REGARDING THIS SAME CONCERN. THE DEALERSHIP REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION AND A TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY WAS REPLACED BUT IT HAS NOT FIXED THE CONCERN. THIS BANG IS SO BAD THAT IT IS HARD THAT I FEAR DRIVING IT IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2017 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT DRIVER'S AND REAR DRIVER'S DOORS OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT'S HEAD SLAMMED INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW AND CAUSED A CONCUSSION. BOTH THE CONTACT AND HIS WIFE, WHO WAS SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, SUSTAINED GENERAL BODY SORENESS AND WERE DRIVEN TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND TOWED TO A TOW YARD. THE CONTACT CALLED FIRST CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM AT 833-857-9898 (LOCATED AT 280 E. WASHINGTON STREET, NORTH ATTLEBORO, MA 02760) AND WAS REFERRED TO THE MANUFACTURER TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OPENED AN INVESTIGATION. THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE CONTACT LATER RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE MANUFACTURER, STATING THAT THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE DID NOT SUSTAIN ENOUGH MOMENTUM FOR THE AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,807. *DT *AS

TRUCK STILL UNDER WARENTY HAS LESS THAN 13,000 MILES. 7 DIFFERENT TIMES CAR WON'T START. HAVE HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP 3-4 TIMES. EACH TIME IT'S REPAIRED A DIFFERENT ELECTRICAL COMPUTER CODE IS STATED AS THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN PARKING LOTS, OUR DRIVEWAY AND AT A LIGHT (CAR WOULD NOT GO)! VERY DANGEROUS . STARTED TO HAPPEN 3 MONTHS AFTER WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK. HAPPENS EVERY 30-60 DAYS.

TIMING COVER OIL LEAK. TIMING COVER LEAKED OIL EVEN AFTER MULTI ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT PROBLEM. THEIR SOLUTION IS TO PUT MORE RTV ON THE TIMING COVER AND REASSEMBLE. DOES NOT FIX PROBLEM.

CONSTANT VIBRATING AND SHAKING FROM THE REAR END OF THE TRUCK THAT CAN'T SEEM TO BE FIXED! WAS AT SPEEDS ABOVE 65MPH. NOW IT'S ALL SPEEDS!

EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, WHEN I CHANGE GEARS, IT WILL NOT GO IN, IT WILL JUST FLASH. I SO FAR, CAN CHANGE TO ANOTHER SELECTION, SUCH AS DRIVE AND THE VEHICLE WILL MOVE. THIS HAPPENED ONCE IN MY DRIVEWAY, TRIED NUMEROUS THINGS AND WOULD NOT WORK IN REVERSE. I CALLED DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN. THEY HAD IT TOWED. AFTER ARRIVAL, IT WORKED. I WENT ONLINE AND DISCOVERED NUMEROUS ENTRIES FROM PEOPLE AS FAR BACK AS 2013, WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM, SOME TIMES IN DRIVE AND SOMETIMES IN REVERSE, LIKE MINE. SOME SAID THEY WERE DRIVING AND AT A STOPLIGHT. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED TO ME WAS AT THE GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT, I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT, STOPPED TO BACK UP AND STRAIGHTEN OUT, PUT IT IN REVERSE, ALL IT WOULD IS FLASH. TIED UP THE PARKING LOT FOR APPROXIMATELY 40 MINUTES. FINALLY IT WORKED.

SEVERE BRAKING ISSUE - WHEN IDLING DOWNHILL AND IN GEAR ("DRIVE") VEHICLE CANNOT BE STOPPED/BRAKES DO NOT HOLD. HIGHER SPEEDS (NOT ATTEMPTED) WOULD LIKELY BE A DISASTER. IN THE ATTACHED PHOTO I AM COMING DOWN OUR DRIVEWAY IDLING IN GEAR ("DRIVE") WITH BRAKES MASHED TO THE FLOOR (FULL TRAVEL) AND VEHICLE CONTINUES ROLLING FORWARD/CANNOT BE STOPPED. TRUCK IS CARRYING VERY LIGHT LOAD IN THE BED AND ONLY 1 PERSON (THE DRIVER). I DON'T KNOW IF THIS LACK OF BRAKING IS CAUSED BY THE STEEP PITCH OR SIMPLY INADEQUATE BRAKES BUT WHATEVER THE CAUSE THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE CONTROLLED. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE. ADDITIONAL INFO CAN BE FOUND ON MY POST HERE: HTTPS://WWW.RAMFORUM.COM/THREADS/WHITE-KNUCKLE-MOMENT-STEEP-DRIVEWAY-HARD-BRAKES-NOT-STOPPING.128905/PAGE-3#POST-1872457

NOTICED A SMELL FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW CONSISTENT WITH WET AND MOLDY CARPET AFTER IT RAINS. I NOTICED UNDER MY BACK SEATS IN THE STORAGE COMPARTMENT THAT THERE WAS STAGNANT WATER PUDDLING UP. BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC SHOP IN CORAL SPRINGS ( DR. BRAKES W/ MIKE.) AND HAD THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED FOR A FEE. FOUND OUT THAT THE REAR GLASS WITH THE OPERABLE WINDOW WAS LEAKING DOWN THE PASSENGERS SIDE, WETTING THE BACK INSULATION GOING DOWN TO THE CARPET FLOORING, AND FINALLY INTO THE STORAGE COMPARTMENTS. I CALLED COOPERATE IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE AND THE FIRST REP WAS PROFESSIONAL AND ASSISTED ME WITH A "GOOD WILL" CLAIM BEING THAT THIS IS MY FIRST DODGE VEHICLE AND EVEN INSISTED ON MY BROTHER PURCHASING ONE (WHICH HE DID, 2019 RAM SPORT ORANGE IN COLOR).THE REP HELPED ME SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED. WHEN I GET TO THE ARRIGO DODGE, CHRYSLER, JEEP IN TAMARAC FL FOR MY APPOINTMENT ON THURSDAY AUG. 22, 2019, MY SERVICE PROFESSIONAL TERRI, CLAIMED THAT THE CASE WAS OPENED AND CLOSED THAT 2 DAYS BEFORE ON TUESDAY AND HE DIDN'T KNOW WHY BUT SHE ASKED HER DIRECTOR OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS THEY'RE WERE ANYTHING ELSE AND HE TOLD HER NO AND WALKED AWAY FROM ME. CALLED CORP AGAIN, SPOKE TO TRAVIAN, WHO WAS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND ENDED UP WITH ME ON HOLD FOR 11MINS ONLY TO HANG OP ON ME INSTEAD OF TRANSFERRING ME TO SOMEONE ELSE. THIS IS A VERY UNPROFESSIONAL COOPERATE OPERATION AND FROM SOMEONE TELLING YOU ONE THING AND CHANGING THEIR MIND WI

DOOR LOCKS - VIDEO RECORDED PROBLEM SENT TO DEALER - A FEW MONTHS AGO DEALER COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM DOORS NOT UNLOCKING OR LOCKING WITH FOB OR DOOR SWITCHES. SINCE THEN OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT DID NOT WANT ANOTHER FRUITLESS TRIP TO THE DEALER. ON AND OFF NOW THE DOORS WILL NOT UNLOCK WITH FOB OR HAND DOOR SENSOR. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE DOOR WILL UNLOCK ALLOWING ACCESS.

AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK TO FULL, ENGINE LIGHT COMES OUT, ECO STOPS WORKING AND FUEL GAUGE GOES CRAZY BY GOING DOWN TO EMPTY AND BACK TO FULL

U53 OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE & U74 2015 - 2017 TAILGATE LATCH. FOR THE U74, I HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING FOR OVER A YEAR NOW TO GET FIXED, AND THE LOCAL DEALERS DO NOT ASSIST STATING PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. THE LARGER CONCERN IS THE NEW U53 SEAT BELT SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE TRIED THROUGH MULTIPLE LOCAL DEALERS IN SAN ANTONIO TX, AND CHRYSLER CORP TO GET ASSISTANCE, AND I AM BEING MET WITH NO HELP. I AM HIGHLY CONCERNED AT THE SAFETY ISSUES AND THE MFR IS NOT HELPING. ONE DEALER EVEN STATED MY VIN DIDN'T HAVE THE RECALL WHEN I HAVE A VEHICLE REPORT EMAIL, SENT MONTHLY FROM MFR, THAT REFLECTS THE RECALL.

FUEL SENSOR HAS FAILED AT 42000 MILES WHILE IN MOTION. LIFTERS HAVE MADE BAD NOISE SINCE NEW, DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACE LIFTERS BUT NOISE IS STILL THERE INTERMITTENTLY WHILE SITTING STILL ON START UP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HESITATE AND LOSE POWER. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 252,000.

FUEL NOZZLE GETS STUCK WHEN FILLING UP AT GAS STATIONS. I'VE HAD THIS TRUCK A YEAR AND A HALF NOW AND IT'S SO FRUSTRATING. CANNOT GO TO COSTCO AS IT GETS STUCK AND CONSTANTLY CLICKS OFF, 10 GALLONS AFTER THIRTY MINUTES! ON ANOTHER INSTANCE THE ATTENDANT HAD TO COME OUT WITH A SCREWDRIVER AND PRY UP THE NOZZLE AND YANK IT OUT! ON A NEW TRUCK? SERIOUSLY! IT'S A DOCUMENTED ISSUE ALL OVER THE INTERNET, FCA MADE THE FUEL ANGLE TOO STEEP AND NOT ENOUGH ROOM TO ADJUST ONCE IT'S IN THE NECK. I NOW HAVE TO BARELY INSERT THE NOZZLE SO IT DOESN'T CLICK IN OR SEAL AGAINST THE FILLER NECK, BYPASSING THE EPA CONTROLS AND HOLD IT SO IT WON'T GET STUCK OR CLICK OFF! SO IN ESSENCE TO FUEL UP I HAVE TO POLLUTE MORE, STUPID! IF IN DOUBT CHECK THE INTERNET FOR RAM OWNERS FORUMS, IT'S ALL OVER THE PLACE.

JUST BOUGHT A USED TRUCK FROM VANDEHEY BRANTMIER IN CHILTON WI THREE MONTHS AGO AND THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAIL LIGHT COMES ON CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT NEEDS A FUEL LEVEL SENSOR AND PUMP. MY 2017 RAM 1500 NEEDS THIS AND IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR ANYTHING AND THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR A LONG TIME BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND JUST AS I ENTERED A CURVE THE STEERING WENT OUT AND A WARNING CAME UP ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHICH SAID POWER STEERING FAILURE. ONCE I WAS IN A SAFE PLACE TO DO SO I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND RE-STARTED IT. EVERYTHING RETURNED TO NORMAL.

I HAD THE ORC RECALL DONE AND THERE WAS ALSO ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAGS THAT WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND THE REPLACED THE AIRBAG SYSTEM ALONG WITH COMPUTER.
