2017 Ram 1500 complaints

WE BOUGHT A 2017 RAM 1500 ON APRIL 29, 2017. ON DEC 20, 2017, WE TOOK OUR TRUCK TO CARMAN DODGE AND WAS TOLD THAT WE NEEDED A WHOLE NEW WIPER UNIT (WIPER ASSEMBLY UNIT). THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER OUR WARRANTY. WE HAD THE TRUCK FOR LESS THAN 8 MONTHS. PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THIS PIECE OF STEEL WOULD BREAK AND NOT BE COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD THE PART WAS "BROKEN" AND IT'S NOT A DEFECT. AFTER SPENDING AN HOUR ON THE PHONE WITH CHRYSLER, THEY STILL REFUSE TO COVER THIS. I HAD TO PAY $390 FOR THIS NEW PART/INSTALLATION. IT'S BEYOND ME HOW THIS IS NOT CONSIDERED A DEFECT AND WHY THIS WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY.

ON OCTOBER 17 2017 , I PURCHASED THE VECHILE ABOVE BRAND NEW . LATER ON THAT WEEK I DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS VISIBLE RUST ON THE BODY OF THE TRUCK AND SEVERAL RUST BUBBLES POPPING OUT FROM THE PAINT . THIS IS THE SECOND BRAND NEW VECHILE RAM 1500 I HAD BUYED THAT BEEN SOLD TO ME WITH PAINT AND RUST ISSUES . A THIRD VECHILE I ORDERED WAS DELIVERED TO ME WITH HEAD LIGHT PROBLEMS

ON 09/07/2017, I WAS BACKING UP MY VEHICLE IN A TIGHT SPOT AT MY CONDO PARKING GARAGE. I PULLED FORWARD AND SHIFTED THE ELECTRONIC GEAR SELECTOR TO "PARK" SO I COULD GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND CHECK THE CLEARANCE. WHEN I WAS HALF WAY OUT THE VEHICLE IT STARTED BACKING UP BUT FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO JUMP BACK IN WITHOUT PHYSICAL INJURY. THE VEHICLE HOWEVER SUSTAINED $2000 TO $3000 ESTIMATED DAMAGE TO THE REAR END WHEN IT SLAMMED INTO A LARGE WATER PIPE IN THE GARAGE. ABOUT A WEEK LATER I WAS CHECKING THE SHIFT SELECTOR TO SEE IF I COULD DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IT WOULD NOT DUPLICATE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM BUT ONCE WHEN I TRIED TO SHIFT IT TO "PARK" IT WENT INTO REVERSE" BUT WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN YOU TOOK YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL EVEN WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL. UNFORTUNATELY I DID NOT HAVE MY PHONE WITH ME TO VIDEO THE INCIDENT. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY THEY COULD FIND NO "CODES" OR PROBLEMS AT THIS TIME. I AM TAKING IT INTO A BODY SHOP FOR REPAIR NEXT WEEK AND WILL KNOW THE EXACT DAMAGE AND COST. I WILL ALSO TRY TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AGAIN AND I DEFINITELY WILL HAVE VIDEO CAPABILITY AT THAT TIME.

2017 RAM 1500 TAILGATE RANDOMLY DROPS. APPARENTLY IT IS THE LOCKING MECHANISM THAT FAILS, WHEN YOU LOCK OR UNLOCK THE VEHICLE IT WILL RANDOMLY CAUSE THE MANUAL TAILGATE LATCH TO OPEN.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2017 RAM 1500 LARAMIE CREW CAB DOWN A DIRT ROAD (APPROX. 25% GRADE) ON A DRY SUMMER DAY, THE TRUCK SEEMS TO ACCELERATE AND THEN ABRUPTLY DECELERATE. THE TRUCK WAS IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE LOW AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS MANUALLY PLACED IN 1ST GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD HOLD THE VEHICLE FROM GOING MORE THAN 4 MPH ON EVERY OTHER DOWNHILL AREA EXCEPT FOR THIS LONGER STRETCH (APPROX 300 FT.). THE TRUCK ACCELERATED TO ABOVE 8 MPH WITH THE RPM'S ALSO INCREASING AND THAN SUDDENLY DECREASING BACK TO NORMAL. I HAVE BEEN TRAVELING THIS ROAD FOR OVER 20 YEARS WITH MANY DIFFERENT VEHICLES AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR FROM A VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD FIND WRONG, BUT THEY RE-FLASHED TRANSMISSION. THAT SOLVED NOTHING, EVERY TIME I GO DOWN THAT SAME SPOT I HAVE SAME RESULT. SUPPOSEDLY FCA ENGINEERING IS REVIEWING ISSUE, IF THIS IS TO HAPPEN IN THE WINTER, I KNOW THAT THE VEHICLE HAS A VERY COULD CHANCE OF BECOMING UNCONTROLLABLE SINCE THE TRUCK WOULD JUST START TO SKID WHEN IT SLOWS ABRUPTLY. FCA'S RESPONSE WAS TO BE PATIENT. WHEN I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE SOMEONE COME OUT TO THE PROPERTY SO THAT I COULD DUPLICATE THIS ISSUE FOR THEM THEY DECLINED.

TOOK DELIVERY OF NEW 2017 DODGE RAM 1500 AND TWO DAYS LATER TOWED MY BOAT (18') TO LAUNCH TO GO FISHING. STOPPED ON RAMP LEADING TO WATER WITH ENGINE RUNNING AND PUT IN PARK TO UNHOOK BOAT FROM TRAILER. WHEN I LET ME FOOT OFF BRAKE, THE VEHICLE STARTED SLOWLY CREEPING BACKWARDS TO THE WATER. I WAS STUNNED AND HIT BRAKE AGAIN AND THEN APPLIED EMERGENCY BRAKE. I HAVE DONE THIS AT LEAST A HUNDRED TIMES WITH OTHER VEHICLES AND NEVER HAS ONE NOT HELD IN PLACE ON THE RAMP AND I HAVE NEVER USED MY EMERGENCY BRAKE. UPON COMPLETION OF UNHOOKING BOAT, I THEN COULD NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO RELEASE EMERGENCY BRAKE AS IT IS NOT MARKED WELL. GOT OUT OF VEHICLE AND NOTICED A SYMBOL ON THE PLASTIC ABOVE THE FOOT PEDAL. LIFTED UP AND IT RELEASED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND AGAIN VEHICLE STARTED BACKING UP INTO THE WATER. I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY JUMP IN THE TRUCK AND HIT THE BRAKES JUST IN TIME AS IT HIT THE WATER. I HAVE REVIEWED THIS ISSUE AND IT APPEARS TO BE FOCUSED ON 2013 - 2016 MODEL YEARS. HOWEVER, THIS IS A BRAND NEW 2017. I CAN ATTEST THAT THE KNOB WAS 100% IN THE PARK POSITION WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND MY FATHER AND SON WITNESSED THIS EVENT. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TOMORROW AT DEALERSHIP BUT SERVICE MANAGER WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY ISSUES OR POTENTIAL FIX. I AM GUESSING WE COULD DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM ON THE BOAT RAMP IN THE FUTURE. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS AND I CANNOT HAVE A VEHICLE THAT CANNOT STAY IN PLACE WHILE PARKED!

I BOUGHT A NEW 2017 RAM TRUCK.THE TOP OF THE TRUCK IS MADE OF VERY CHEAP METAL IT DENTS VERY EASY DOES NOT TAKE TO MUCH AT ALL TO DENT THE TRUCK. A FEW DAYS AFTER GETTING MY NEW TRUCK IT HAD A DENT THE SIZE OF A BASKET BALL.THE DEALER SENT IT TO A DENT LESS PAINT REPAIR SHOP.AFTER THEY FIXED IT YOU COULD STILL TELL WHERE THE DENT WAS IF THE LIGHTING WAS RIGHT.IF PARKED OUT IN THE SUN LIGHT IT LOOK FINE.PARKED UNDER MY CAR PORT YOU COULD TELL THAT THERE USE TO BE A DENT IN THAT SPOT. RAM IS USING VERY CHEAP METAL TO MAKE THE NEW RAM TRUCKS.MY FRIENDS THINKS THIS HAPPENED AFTER THEY RAN THE TRUCK THROUGH THERE CAR WASH BEFORE I LEFT THE DEALER SHIP WITH MY NEW TRUCK.HE SAID MAYBE THE AIR THEY USE TO DRY THE TRUCK OFF MAY HAVE PUT THE DENT THERE.BUT I AM NOT SURE WHERE THE DENT CAME FROM.I FILL REALLY UNSAFE IN MY NEW RAM TRUCK BECAUSE IF THE TRUCK WAS IN A ROLLOVER IT WOULD CRUSH US. IT WOULD CRUSH LIKE A TIN CAN. I GIVE THE TRUCK 1 OUT OF 10 STARS 1 STAR I FILL LIKE EVER PERSON THAT HAS BOUGHT THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN RIPPED OFF.THESE TRUCKS ARE WAY OVER PRICED FOR WHAT YOU GET IN RETURN FOR YOUR MONEY. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A FULL REFUND OF MY MONEY FOR THIS NEW 2017 UNSAFE RAM THAT DENTS WHEN YOU JUST TOUCH IT A LITTLE. THE METAL ON TOP OF THE CAP IS ALSO VERY FLIMSY YOU CAN PUT YOUR HAND ON TOP OF THE CAP AND PUT VERY LITTLE PRESSURE AND IT MOVES. THE TOP OF THE TRUCK SHOULD HAVE NO FLEX TO THE TOP OF THE TRUCK AT ALL IT SHOULD BE SOLID METAL ON TOP OF THE TRUCK. I THINK THE FIND

I DO NOT FEEL AS THOUGH THE GEAR KNOB IS SAFE. I THOUGHT I HAD TURNED THE KNOB TO PARK & OPENED MY DOOR TO GET OUT & THE TRUCK WAS IN REVERSE. GEAR SHIFT STICKS ARE MUCH MORE ACCURATE. I WOULD SUGGEST GETTING RID OF THE KNOB, OR, HAVING SOME SORT OF SAFETY MECHANISM THAT WOULD NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO MOVE IF THE DOOR OPENS, OR SOMETHING SIMILAR. HAD I NOT REALIZED THAT I WAS NOT IN PARK SOON ENOUGH, I COULD HAVE RAN MYSELF OVER OR HIT SOMETHING.
