2018 Ram 1500 complaints

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. HAD USED CRUISE CONTROL AT 70MPH ON FREEWAY, BUT HAD NOT USED IT IN TOWN. I WAS DECELERATING FOR A STOP LIGHT, WHEN IT TURNED GREEN. I WAS PROBABLY TRAVELING 15-20MPH WHEN I BEGAN ACCELERATING AGAIN. I HEARD A CLICK, LIKE A RELAY OR SOLENOID AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AS IF I HAD HIT "RESUME". LAST SPEED PRESET HAD BEEN 70MPH. I WAS ABLE TO CANCEL THE ACCELERATION BY HITTING THE BRAKES, BUT I NEARLY REAR ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I DID NOT HIT "RESUME" BY MISTAKE EITHER, AS MY HAND WAS NOT ON THE STEERING WHEEL NEAR THE BUTTONS. IN FURTHER TROUBLESHOOTING, THE CRUISE WILL NOT ENGAGE BELOW 25MPH. IF RESUME IS PUSHED BEFORE PASSING 25MPH (DURING ACCELERATION), THEN NOTHING HAPPENS.

UNPREDICTABLE VIBRATIONS AT VARIOUS HIGHWAY SPEEDS. SOMETIMES ANNOYING OTHER TIMES MORE SEVERE. THIS CONDITION ALSO EXISTED ON MY PREVIOUS 2017 RAM 1500 THAT I JUST TRADED IN. THIS IS THE SECOND RAM 1500 THAT HAS HAD THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS. I JUST BOUGHT THIS TRUCK BRAND NEW 10/05/19. DEALERS CANNOT SOLVE, AND FCA CUSTOMER CARE IS USELESS. I SUSPECT THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE WITH RAM. THE STANDARD CANNED ANSWER IS IT IS THE TIRES.

THE BACK UP CAMERA GOES OUT AND BLACK OUTS AT TIMES. SOMETIMES IT LOOKS LIKE A OLD TV WITH WAVY LINES. THE DRIVERS WINDOW CONTROLLER, YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO USE AUTO DOWN AND AUTO UP. AT TIMES, YOU MUST HOLD UP ON THE WINDOW SWITCH TO MAKE THE WINDOW GO UP. THE HEADLIGHTS COME ON WHEN YOU ENTER A DARK GARAGE AND WHEN YOU PULL OUT THEY STAY ON. MY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS. THE HEADLIGHTS WILL COME ON DURING MORNING WITH FULL SUNSHINE. SOMETIMES THERE IS A VERY LOUD KNOCKING COMING FROM THE MOTOR . SOUNDS LOVE LIKE A BAD VALVE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE LAGS POWER TO MOVE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT A 4 SEC DELAY THEN POWER WILL MOVE THE TRUCK ABSOLUTELY A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD FORM A STOP. HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE TRUCK.

I WAS UNABLE TO STOP VEHICLE AS I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION ON A CITY STREET WENT TO PRESS ON THE BRAKES ALL THE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING, BRAKE SYSTEM FLASHED, NO TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON, VEHICLE TURNED OFF. ENDED UP IMPACTING 3 OTHER VEHICLES AND A SCHOOL BUS. MY AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED, AND THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY. ALL PARTIES WERE INJURED IN THE ACCIDENT, ALMOST ALL ARE SEEKING REPRESENTATION FROM ATTORNEYS FOR THEIR INJURIES.*DT *AS

LONG LAG BETWEEN THE TIME YOU STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THE WHEN THE TRUCK WOULD RESPOND. CREATED DANGEROUS SITUATION SPECIALLY MERGING WITH FAST MOVING TRAFFIC AND MOVING FROM STOP SIGNS. VEHICLE WOULD GO INTO LIMP MODE WITHOUT WARNING. IT WAS DEEMED TO A LEMON AND FCA BOUGHT IT BACK ONLY TO RESELL TO SOMEONE ELSE.

I OWN A 2018 ECODIESEL AND WHEN MY TRUCK WENT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE THEY DID AN UPDATE CALLED AEM OR V08 EMISSIONS UPDATE. AFTER THE UPDATE MY TRUCK NO LONGER ACCELERATES FROM A STOP. IT CRAWLS AT UNDER 10MPH EXTREMELY SLOW APROX. 90 SECONDS UNTIL THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS I HAVE BEEN IN 3 NEAR ACCIDENTS DUE TO A LACK OF ACCELERATION. IN ADDITION TO THE LACK OF ACCELERATION I NOW GET MUCH LOWER GAS MILEAGE. PRIOR TO THE UPDATE I WAS GETTING 27 MPG, NOW THE BEST I HAVE GOTTEN WAS 19MPG. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE AGAINST THE LAW, TO PURCHASE A VEHICLE THAT GET GOOD GAS MILEAGE AND DRIVES THEY WAY IT DID WHEN I TEST DROVE IT, WHICH IS THE REASON WHY I PURCHASED IT. ONLY FOR THEM TO COMPLETELY CHANGE MY VEHICLE AFTER THE PURCHASE WITHOUT MY PERMISSION IS TO ME A BAIT AND SWITCH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR CONDITIONER SWITCHED TO RECYCLE MODE IN THE RAIN AND THE WINDSHIELD FOGGED UP. IN ADDITION, DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE DEFROSTER FAILED TO WORK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN SEVERAL TIMES TO FRISCO CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (9640 TX-121, FRISCO, TX 75035, (214) 390-7543) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE EVAPORATOR COIL WAS CLOGGED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 59792292. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

THE TRUCK WAS IN A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH A DEER IN 2018 THAT DID NOT RESULT IN THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYING. THE TRUCK WAS TRAVELING ON A COUNTY HIGHWAY WHEN A DEER RAN OUT AND WAS STRUCK WITH THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK. IN AUGUST 2019, THE TRUCK WAS TRAVELING ON A COUNTRY ROAD WHEN THE DRIVER STRUCK A GUARD RAIL HEAD ON. THIS COLLISION ALSO DID NOT DEPLOY THE AIR BAGS. ALSO, THE SEAT BELTS DID NOT DISENGAGE AFTER THE ACCIDENT (THEY STAYED IN THE LOCKED POSITION). AFTER TALKING WITH THE TOW TRUCK COMPANY AND THE AUTO BODY SHOP, THEY FELT THAT THE SEVERITY OF THE SECOND COLLISION AND THE LOCATION SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED THE AIR BAGS, BUT IT DID NOT. THE PICTURES AND POLICE REPORT ARE FOR THE SECOND COLLISION.

FROM NEW, THE RAM 1500 WITH THE ECO DIESEL ENGINE HAS HAD A SIGNIFICANT HESITATION WHEN COLD CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD. WHEN I LEAVE WORK I NEED TO CROSS A MULTIPLE LANE HIGHWAY HIGHWAY WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 55 MPH. I COULD WALK ACROSS THE HIGHWAY FASTER THEN WHAT THE TRUCK WILL CROSS IT. I HAVE THE LATEST SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR ENGINE CONTROL THAT RAM IS OFFERING. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND CONTACTED RAM CUSTOMER ASSIST ABOUT THE ISSUE. ALL I WAS OFFERED WAS A FEW FREE OIL CHANGES. BOTH SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I DID GET THE CUSTOMER ASSIST CONTACT TO STATE SHE WOULD RELAY THE MESSAGE TO ENGINEERING. I WILL SELECT TODAY'S DATE BELOW AS TO WHEN THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED, BUT IT DOES IT EVERY DAY IT IS DRIVEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2018 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT CONNECTED AN ENGINE BLOCK HEATER TO THE VEHICLE DURING COLD INCLEMENT WEATHER CONDITIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE CONTACTS DRIVE WAY, WHEN AN INDIVIDUAL INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. THE CONTACT ENTERED THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTED TO REVERSE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE AWAY FROM HIS HOME. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO REVERSE SO THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE USING A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO NO AVAIL. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT A FEW DAYS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT 4- 5 FUSES BLEW OUT IN THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED BY THE POLICE THAT ARRIVED. A POLICE REPORT WAS MADE. THE CONTACT DID NOT SUSTAIN ANY INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED TOTALED BY THE CONTACT'S INSURANCE. THE CONTACT CALLED LOT LAGERS MANKATO (1815 MADISON AVE, MANKATO, MN 56001 (507) 625-5641) WHERE NO ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FIRE WAS NOT IN RELATION TO ANY OPEN RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,500.

THE VEHICLE CONSISTED OF MULTIPLE TIMES OF T HE VEHICLE NOT STARTING AND HAVING TO BE JUMPED FOR THE VEHICLE TO START. THIS VEHICLE HAS NOW BEEN IN THE ODANIEL FORD DEALERSHIP IN FORT WAYNE, IN FOR OVER 30 DAYS WITH STILL NO RESOLUTION - IN SINCE JUNE 27TH 2019 IT IS NOW AUGUST 1ST AND STILL NO RESOLUTION HAS BEEN DETERMINED ON CORRECTING THIS ISSUE AND HAVE BEEN GIVEN MULTIPLE RENTAL CARS ALONG WITH BEING STUCK PAYING FOR ONE OF THE RENTAL VEHICLES AS CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS NOT RETURNED OUR CALLS ON CASE NUMBER 59164537 FOR THE CHARGE TO MY PERSONAL CREDIT CARD. NO CONTACT EITHER IS BEING GIVEN FROM AN ADDITIONAL CASE REGARDING THE SECOND TICKET OF THE TRUCK BEING IN SERVICE THIS LONG WITH TICKET 59395927. BOTH TICKETS WERE GIVEN TO US FROM CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2018 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH IN THE RAIN, THE VEHICLE HYDROPLANED AND CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE BARRIER AND SLED BACKWARDS, BLOCKING TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC. THERE WAS NO WARNING. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION THE FOLLOWING DAY. THE INJURIES INCLUDED SPRAINED HAND AND A LARGE ABRASION ON THE LEFT ARM. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND WAS TOWED TO A TOW YARD. THE CONTACT CALLED THE CENTRAL FLORIDA CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM DEALER (407-641-2080, LOCATED AT 8675 COMMODITY CIR, ORLANDO, FL 32819) AND STATED THAT THE TECHNICIAN DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS PROVIDED. *DT*JB

TAKATA RECALL CRUISE CONTROL ONLY WORKS PART OF THE TIME. SOMETIMES WORKS THE FIRST TIME YOU PUSH THE BUTTON AND SOMETIMES YOU CAN PUSH IT NO MATTER HOW HARD OR SOFT 50 TIMES AND IT WON'T COME ON AT ALL. NO MATTER THE SPEED YOUR DRIVING.

DROVE THE VEHICLE ABOUT 4 HOURS TO PICK UP MY DAUGHTER. HAD THE VEHICLE IDLING FOR A WHILE AS I WAITED FOR HER ARRIVE SINCE SHE WAS RUNNING LATE. PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND STARTED TO HEAD HOME AND THE SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE CAME ON. THEN THE TRANSMISSION WARNING CAME ON AS WELL AS A MESSAGE WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS THE LIGHTENING BOLT IN RED. I STOPPED AND TURNED EVERYTHING OFF HOPING TO RESET AND WHEN I TURNED THE VEHICLE ON EVERYTHING DISAPPEARED UNTIL I GOT BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEN I HAD PROBLEMS ACCELERATING AS ALL OF GAGES DIDN'T SEEM TO ENGAGE. I GOT TO THE NEXT EXIT AND PULLED INTO THE CLOSEST PARKING LOT AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. HOWEVER, IT DID NOT TURN OFF. ALL OF MY GAGES WENT BESSEL, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNED ON, ON THEIR OWN, AND THEN ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER TURNED RED AND FLASHED. THE DASHBOARD CONTINUED TO LIGHT UP LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO RESET. I TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT START. ONCE ALL THE LIGHTS FINALLY TURNED OFF I WAS ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL COMING ON.

THERE IS A RECALL ON THE DRIVESHAFT THAT CAN CAUSE THE INCOMPLETE WELD TO BRAKE AND CAUSE CRASH V48 IS THE RECALL. WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 6/27/19 WAS TOLD THAT THE PART NEEDS TO BE ORDERED. TODAY IS ONE WEEK LATER AND STILL NO PART I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER DIRECTLY AND WAS TOLD THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE SO NOT SURE WHY I'M STILL WAITING ON PARTS? IT'S DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ACCORDING TO THE RECALL NOTE.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE (V48/NHTSA 19V-324) FOR MY 2018 DODGE RAM 1500. THE FCA ASSISTANCE CENTER SET ME UP WITH A DEALERSHIP THAT CAN REPAIR THE ISSUE, I CALLED TO SCHEDULE (THEY SAID NEXT TUESDAY JULY 2ND). THE FCA ASSISTANCE CENTER DEEMED MY TRUCK UNDRIVABLE BY APPROVING A TOW TRUCK TO HAUL MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT OFFER A LOANER SO I CAN GET TO WORK TOMORROW, SO I CALLED THE FCA ASSISTANCE CENTER TO GET A VEHICLE DUE TO PRODUCT LIABILITY. THEY PUT ME ON HOLD, THEN RESPONDED WITH "I WILL GET BACK TO YOU TOMORROW..WHAT'S THE BEST PHONE NUMBER TO REACH YOU?"

RADIO IN VEHICLE FREEZES/LOCKS UP PREVENTING USE OF THE RADIO VOLUME, CLIMATE CONTROLS AND BACK UP CAMERA. SCREEN EITHER LOCKS UP OR TURNS BLUE WHILE BACKING UP, PREVENTING UTILIZATION OF THE BACK UP CAMERA. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOVEMENT.

POWER STEERING FAILURE. POWER STEERING LOCKS UP INTERMITTENTLY, MORE SO WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN. SERVICE POWER STEERING MESSAGE COMES UP IN DASH AND THEN DISAPPEARS AFTER A COUPLE SECONDS. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED BOTH WHEN VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION MAKING A LEFT TURN IN AN INTERSECTION ALMOST CAUSING A COLLISION AND ALSO WHEN PARKED AND ATTEMPTING TO STEER LEFT ATTEMPTING TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.

WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE THE PUMP HANDLE WILL STICK INSIDE THE TANK. ALSO WHEN FILLING UP WITH GAS THE PUMP STOPS AS IF THE VEHICLE IS SAYING IT IS FULL. YOU HAVE TO CONTINUE SQUEEZING THE HANDLE FOR GAS TO COME OUT. THE VEHICLE IS OFF AND IN A STATIONARY POSITION WHILE FILLING THE TANK. I HAVE TO LOOK AT THE GALLONS I AM PUTTING INTO MY VEHICLE SO I KNOW THE VEHICLE IS FULL. HOWEVER THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW TIMES THE TANK HAS OVERFILLED CAUSING GAS TO COME OUT OF THE TANK. AGAIN ONCE FINISHED FILLING UP I CAN NOT EASILY JUST PULL THE HANDLE OUT AND REPLACE BACK TO THE PUMP I HAVE TO GRAB THE HANDLE WITH TWO HANDS THEN POSITION THE HANDLE PULLING UP ON IT AND PULL BACK AND FOURTH UNTIL IT FINALLY DECIDES TO COME OUT OF MY TANK. THERE HAD BEEN A TIME MY GIRLFRIEND TOOK THE VEHICLE OUT OF TOWN AND SHE FILLED IT BEFORE SHE HAD LEFT. AGAIN THE HANDLE FOR GAS WAS STUCK AND I HAD TO LEAVE WORK TO GO AND GET IT OUT FOR HER. LEAKING GAS OUT OF THE TANK IS REALLY BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND ALSO I GET NERVOUS SINCE I FEEL LIKE PRESSURE IS BUILDING UP WHILE FILLING AS WELL. THIS HAS TO BE HAPPENING TO MORE VEHICLES LIKE MINE. AND IF SO WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW THIS CAN BE FIXED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND HELP ON THIS MATTER.

AFTER TURNING FROM THE HIGHWAY FEEDER ONTO A SMALL ROAD, I KNEW A LARGE BUMP IN THE ROAD WAS COMING UP. EVERYONE WHO TRAVELS THE ROAD KNOWS ABOUT IT AND HOW YOU NEED TO SLOW DOWN. AFTER I MADE MADE THE TURN, I APPLIED MY BRAKE IN ANTICIPATION OF THE BUMP, HOWEVER NOTHING HAPPENED. THERE WASN'T ANY PRESSURE. I TRIED ONE MORE TIME AND IT WAS THE SAME RESULT. I THEN TRIED TO CONSECUTIVELY PUMP THE BRAKES, BUT THERE WAS NO CHANGE. AT THAT POINT I WAS APPROACHING THE CEMENT MIXER IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS SO CLOSE THAT I KNEW IMPACT WAS INEVITABLE. I PUT MY ARMS TO THE SIDE, FACED FORWARD, AND KEPT MY BODY LOOSE AT THE LAST SECOND TO TRY TO MINIMIZE ANY INJURIES AND THANKFULLY IT WORKED. MY VEHICLE DIRECTLY HIT THE CEMENT MIXER IN FRONT OF ME. ALMOST ALL DAMAGE WAS DONE TO MY VEHICLE WITH MINIMAL TO THE MIXER.

I WAS DRIVING MY NEW DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCK IN DENVER, COLORADO. I WAS DRIVING 25MPH ON A STREET/ AVENUE, MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. A CHEVY TAHOE UNEXPECTEDLY SMASHED INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY TRUCK [ I WAS "T-BONED"]. NOT ONE SINGLE AIR BAG INSIDE THE TRUCK DEPLOYED !!! I WAS ON MY WAY TAKING A CO-WORKER HOME FROM WORK. WE BOTH WORK SHEET METAL CONSTRUCTION DAILY. AN AMBULANCE, FIRE DEPT., AND POLICE DEPT. ALL SHOWED UP. MY CO-WORKER AND I BOTH SUSTAINED INJURIES.

AND THE DOCTORS ARE RECOMMENDING NOW THAT I BE SEEN MANDATORILY BY A NEUROSURGEON HERE IN DENVER, COLORADO, FOR MY NECK AND SHOULDER INJURIES. *DT *DT *TR

RE: GOOYEAR WARNGLER SRA P275/60/R20. 4 TIRES PROBLEMS. 1ST TIRE BLEW AT 45MPH, SECOND TIRE SHOWED SPLIT INSIDE, 3RD TIRE BLEW AT 75MPH ON FREEWAY CAUSED DAMAGE TO VEHICLE. 4TH TIRE TOOK IN FOR SLOW LEAK, TECH ALSO FOUND TIRE HAD 1" BUBBLE STATING, TIRE WAS SEPARATING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TREAD.

TRUCK FAILED TO START.THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED.

THE PARKING SENSOR FOR THE FRONT AND REAR OF THE VEHICLE SHOW THE VISUAL INDICATION ON THE DASH BUT THE AUDIBLE SOUND ONLY WORKS ON OCCASIONS. THE ALERT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK AT LOW SPEED OR IF YOU ARE TO CLOSE TO AN OBJECT EVEN IF YOUR VEHICLE IS NOT IN MOTION. THE HAS HAPPENED OFF AND ON SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW. POWERTRAIN CONTROL SAFETY RECALL U61 HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND HAS NOT SOLVED THIS ISSUE.

VEHICLE HAS FAILED TO START 3 TIMES IN 2 1/2 MONTHS. I REQUIRED ROAD SERVICE EACH TIME. THIS OCCURRED ON JAN. 16, 2019, MAR, 20, 2019 AND MAR. 23, 2019. VEHICLE HAD BEEN USED FOR ERRANDS INVOLVING SEVERAL STOPS WITH ONLY A COUPLE OF MILES IN BETWEEN, THEN IT WOULD NOT START AND THE BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. DEALER HAS LOOKED AT VEHICLE AND NOTED THAT THERE ARE SCORES OF 'LOW VOLTAGE' CODES IN THE COMPUTER. THIS PROBLEM MATCHES THOSE NOTED IN NHTSA RECALL U87. THE 'CREW CAB' VERSION OF THE TRUCK IS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BUT THE 'QUAD CAB' VERSION IS NOT. I CANNOT GET THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT IF IT MAY NOT START, ANYWHERE ANYTIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND DECELERATED WITHOUT WARNING.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

FUEL NOZZLE BECOMES LODGED/STUCK IN FUEL TANK AFTER PUMPING GAS. ISSUE BEGAN WHEN THE TRUCK WAS BRAND NEW AND BEEN ONGOING. MANUFACTURER AND DEALERSHIP ARE AWARE AND NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN.

MOST, BUT NOT ALL OF THE GAS STATION FILLING NOZZLES STICK IN MY GAS FILLER WHEN I TRY TO REMOVE THEM. THEY ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO REMOVE AND REQUIRES A LOT OF PULLING AND TWISTING TO GET THEM OUT. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME, NOT ONE TIME AS CALENDAR SHOWS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR SUSPENSION FAILED AND THE "SERVICE AIR SUSPENSION" WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE 5 IN WASHINGTON IN CRUISE CONTROL AT 76MPH GOING UP HILL, THE TRUCK MADE A GEAR GRINDING NOISE. I TURN OFF CRUISE AND LET THE TRUCK COAST UPHILL, THE TRUCK WAS MAKING A WHINING UPHILL. I GAVE THE TRUCK SOME GAS TOWARDS THE TOP OF THE AND AT THAT POINT THE TRUCK VIOLENTLY SHOOK, I HEARD A LOUD THUD AND SAW SPARKS FLYING FROM THE REAR END. I WAS GOING DOWN HILL BY THIS POINT. I SAW A LARGE METAL PIECE COME FLYING OFF THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. WHEN I WENT TO PULL OVER, THE TRUCK WAS HARD TO STEER AND CONTROL, THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP THE LAST 8-12 FEET BEFORE STOPPING. UPON GETTING OUT I NOTICED THE DRIVESHAFT DROPPED & HANGING FROM THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO FIND & PICK UP THE LARGE PIECE THAT WENT FLYING OFF. I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED 70+ MILES TO MY HOME TOWN TO A LOCAL DEALER. THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED IN APRIL 2018 AND THIS HAPPENED MID DECEMBER 2018. THE TRUCK HAD APPROX 29,550 MILES ON IT AT THIS POINT. THE TRUCK WAS BOUGHT IN APRIL 2018 BRAND NEW WITH 18 MILES ON IT. ALL MAINTENACE HAS BEEN FOLLOWED PER RAM'S RECOMMENDATIONS.*DT ?PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).?*JB

FUEL FILLER GETS STUCK IN NOZZLE WHEN FUELING VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES

VEHICLE ONLY HAS 12,800 MILES. 4TH TRIP TO THE LOCAL DEALER. 3 TIMES TOWED DUE TO THE DISABLE. WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN AND HAS NO POWER. 1ST TIME WAS INFORMED DURING GEN. MAINTENANCE THE COMPUTER HOUSED NO DATA AS THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN PUTTING IT INTO GEAR. THE NEXT 3 TIMES WERE ALL IDENTICAL AS IT IS CLEAR IT IS STARVATION OF FUEL. FUEL PUMP CHANGED AFTER 1ST TOW. SENDING UNIT CHANGED AFTER 2ND TOW. NOT SURE AFTER 3RD TOW YET. IT IS INCREDIBLY UNSAFE AS THE LOSS OF POWER TO THE MOTOR CREATES LOSS OF POWER STEERING. NOT TO MENTION BEING DISABLED IN TRAFFIC AND THE SAFETY CONCERNS! IN ADDITION THE PASSENGER SEAT BUCKLE HAS MALFUNCTIONED AND HAS BEEN ON ORDER FOR OVER 3 WEEKS. NOW I CAN SAFELY HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE CAR. ALSO MINOR BUT THE FRONT BUMPER IS ALREADY RUSTING! AND A COUPLE OTHER THINGS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING INTO A GARAGE WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO THE CORNER OF THE CONTACT'S HOUSE. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED, BUT WAS NOT TOWED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SIERRA MOTORS CHEVROLET CADILLAC BUICK GMC (209-984-5272, LOCATED AT 18475 5TH AVE, JAMESTOWN, CA 95327) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED. WHILE THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS REVERSING TOWARDS ANOTHER VEHICLE, WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 2,400.

AFTER PUTTING THE FUEL NOZZLE IN GAS TANK FILLER PIPE, IT GETS STUCK WHEN TRYING TO REMOVE IT FROM THE FILLER PIPE. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS VERY COMMON ON THIS MODEL. VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT GAS STATION AND OFF WHEN FILLING UP. THIS HAPPENS OFTEN WITH THIS TRUCK AND I HAVE LESS THAN 3500 MILES ON IT.

SOMETIMES, WHEN I MAKE A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN OR HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD, OR A POTHOLE, THERE IS A "THUD" SOUND IN THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK. THE SOUND IS LIKE METAL AGAINST METAL. I'VE TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIDN'T HEAR IT WHEN THEY TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE.

ON OCTOBER 18, 2018, AFTER DRIVING OUR 2018 RAM 1500 A SHORT DISTANCE ON CITY STREETS, MY SON PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT WHEN THE LEFT REAR TIRE (GOODYEAR WRANGLER SR-A, P27560R20) SUDDENLY WENT COMPLETELY FLAT. HE HAD NOT HIT ANYTHING, AND THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT JUST CAME ON PRIOR TO THE TIRE GOING FLAT. THE TIRES WERE ON THE TRUCK WHEN IT WAS PURCHASED NEW EARLIER THIS YEAR, AND HAD APPROXIMATELY 11,000 MILES ON THEM. THE TIRE HAD SPLIT ALONG THE SIDE WALL CLOSE TO THE RIM, AND COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. THE TIRE WAS TAKEN TO A DODGE DEALER, WHO SAID THE TIRE WOULDN'T BE COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH NOTHING HAD BEEN HIT TO CAUSE THE DAMAGE. A CLAIM WILL BE FILED WITH INSURANCE.

TRUCK HAS LESS THAN A 1,000 MILES ON IT. MADE FIRST ATTEMPT TO FILL TANK-NOZZLE DIFFICULT TO PUT IN TANK SPILLED GAS ALL OVER, DIFFICULT TO REMOVE. NEEDED GAS AGAIN, MY SON TRIED PUTTING GAS AND HAD SAME ISSUE, BUT MORE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE. 3 TIME I TRIED FILLING-EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO GET NOZZLE IN, WOULD ONLY PUTS SMALL AMOUNTS OF GAS IN AT A TIME WITHOUT SHUTTING OFF-NOZZLE WOULD NOT COME OUT. STATION ATTENDANTS TRIED WITH NO SUCCESS, SUGGESTED I CALL A TOW TRUCK TO REMOVE IT. SON LIVED CLOSE SO HE CAME AND FINALLY HAD TO USE A SCREW DRIVER TO REMOVE NOZZLE. TOOK TRUCK TO DODGE-YES THEY ARE AWARE OF ISSUE BUT HAVE NO FIX AND I WILL JUST HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT. LOOKED AT DODGE CHAT POSTS AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. SUGGESTIONS FROM OTHER DEALERS INCLUDED REPLACING THE TANK AT THE OWNERS COST ($2,000.00) I CHATTED WITHE DODGE AND THEY SAID THE SAME- IF IT BECOMES A RECALL THEN THEY WOULD RE-IMBURSE THE OWNER. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW BY THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD BE COVERED BY DODGE. THIS IS DANGEROUS, SPURTING FUEL AND INABILITY TO REMOVE THE NOZZLE. I AM 72 WITH A DISABLED HUSBAND AND ONLY VEHICLE AVAILABLE TO ME -I SHOULD NOT BE AFRAID TO PUT GAS IN THE TRUCK
