2019 Ram 1500 complaints

DRIVERS WIPER ACTUALLY COMES OFF THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE WINDOW, WRAPPING AROUND THE DOOR COLUMN, THEN FREEZES IN THAT POSITION. WHEN I MANUALLY PUSH THE BLADE BACK INTO POSITION IT EITHER FLIES OFF THE WINDOW AGAIN OR FREEZES 1/2 WAY. THIS WAS IN SNOW CONDITIONS. WAS UNABLE TO USE WIPERS IN SNOW STORM. TRUCK WAS IN MOTION AT 70 MPH.

I PURCHASED A 2019 RAM 1500 TWO WEEKS AGO. I QUICKLY STARTED EXPERIENCING POWER STEERING FAILURES (UNEXPECTEDLY), I NOTICED THE AC DIDN'T WORK, AND THE MIRRORS RATCHET WHEN ADJUSTED. I HAD IT LOOKED AT BY A DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY FIXED THE POWER STEERING, AT LEAST TEMPORARILY. OF COURSE WE DIDN'T EXPERIENCE POWER STEERING PROBLEMS UNTIL ME AND MY FAMILY WENT ON A CROSS COUNTRY TRIP. INTERMITTENT POWER STEERING FAILURES IN UNFAMILIAR AREA, AT NIGHT, AND IN POOR WEATHER MADE TRAVELING IN MY NEW TRUCK VERY STRESSFUL. I STILL DON'T HAVE POWER STEERING AND WE ARE GETTING READY TO DRIVE HOME FROM THANKSGIVING ON SATURDAY (IN TWO DAYS). THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, I'VE HAD TOO MANY CLOSE CALLS ON THIS TRIP WITH POWER STEERING RE-ENGAGING CAUSING ME TO SERVE OUT OF MY LANE. PLEASE HELP!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, A SEMI TRUCK STRUCK THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL AND SPUN AROUND A COUPLE OF TIMES. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE SPINE AND BASE OF HER SKULL, HER LEFT LEG WAS FRACTURED, AND HER PELVIS WAS SHIFTED AND NEEDED REALIGNMENT. THE CONTACT WAS TAKEN TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM AND WAS SEEKING MEDICAL ATTENTION FROM A CHIROPRACTOR SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE WAS DESTROYED, WHICH PREVENTED THE VEHICLE FROM BEING DRIVEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A BODY SHOP. GENE'S CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (LOCATED AT 3400 S CUSHMAN ST, FAIRBANKS, AK 99701, (907) 452-7117) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. WHEN THE CONTACT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON JULY 1, 2019, SHE WAS INFORMED THAT IT HAD BEEN SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V407000 (AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OPENED AN INVESTIGATION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,466.*DT *LN *TR *DT *TR *TR

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40MPH IN A HEAVY RAIN STORM WITH THE WIPERS ON. THE WIPERS FAILED AND STOPPED UP ON THE WINDSHIELD. I COULD NOT GET THEM TO RESPOND ON ANY WIPER SETTING. THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD STILL RESPOND WHEN TURNING THE WIPER SWITCH ON SO THE DRIVER SWITCH APPEARED TO WORK. I HAD THE BCM CODES PULLED AND IT SHOWED THE WIPER PARK SWITCH CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS FAILURE.

ISSUE WITH RADIO SOUND SYSTEM. OCCASIONALLY NO SOUND FROM SPEAKERS. MUST DISCONNECT BATTERY TO RESTART/REBOOT RADIO COMPUTER TO GET SOUND BACK. KNOWN ISSUE MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE.

I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET THIS VEHICLE REPAIRED AFTER RECEIVING THIS RECALL NOTIFICATION. V61/NHTSA 19V-407AT THIS INCOMPETENT DEALERSHIP CROWLEY CHRYSLER JEEP IN BRISTOL CT. I CALLED THE RECALL NOTIFICATION HOTLINE ON 26 SEPTEMBER 2019 AND MADE THE APPOINTMENT FOR 30 OCT 2019 ONLY TO HAVE AN INCOMPETENCE AND UNPROFESSIONAL PERSON CALL ME ON 29 OCTOBER 2029 AT THE END OF THE BUSINESS DAY SAYING THAT THEY WERE CANCELING MY APPOINTMENT. I AM SO F'ING PISSED ABOUT THIS CRAP AND REALLY AT THE POINT OF CONTACTING DAIMLER CHRYSLER TO FILE A LAWSUIT AND HAVE THEM TAKE BACK THE TRUCK. MY REGRETS ARE MANY AT THIS POINT I JUST WANT ANSWERS AND TO BE TREATED WITH SOME MEASURECOF RESPECT. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING IN THE DRIVE WAY BEACSUE I DONT KNOW THE LEVEL OR HOW HOW UNSAFE IT MAY BE TO DRIVE. NO ONE HAS TOLD ME ANYTHING ABOUT THE [XXX] RECALL.. I HAVE RETAINED AN ATTORNEY IN THE EVENT THIS ISSUE IS NOT RESOVED BEFORE DECEMBER 2019. 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).

CROSSING A BUSY INTERSECTION, MY TRUCK STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION FOR NO APPARENT REASON. WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO RESTART IT, BUT STALLED AGAIN AFTER APPROXIMATELY TWO MINUTES. HAS BEEN AT COLE CHRYSLER SINCE 9/5/2019. DEALER SAYS IT MAY BE THE BATTERY ASSOCIATED WITH THE HYBRID SYSTEM. THAT PART HAS NOT BEEN AVAILABLE FOR TWO MONTHS, AND THERE IS NO ESTIMATED TIME IT WILL BE AVAILABLE. AFTER IT IS REPLACED, THERE MAY STILL BE ANOTHER PROBLEM.

DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY WHEN BALL JOINT FELL OUT CAUSING TO SKID DOWN HIGHWAY, TOOK TO DEALERSHIP IN THEY SAID WAS A DEFECT.

UCONNECT SYSTEM RESETS ITS SELF EVERY FEW MINUTES. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIME DURING BACK UP WHICH RENDERS THE BACK UP CAMS INOPERABLE.

DURING NORMAL DRIVING OF VEHICLE WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, RELEASING THE BRAKE WITHOUT APPLYING ANY GAS WILL PRODUCE A "BUMP" OR A SLIGHT "JERKING" FORWARD. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME BUT HAS BEEN HAPPING SINCE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN MANY TIMES TO REMEDY THE SITUATION THAT INCLUDED, UPDATING OF SOFTWARE AS WELL AS THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION WHICH STILL HAS HAD NO EFFECT. THERE ARE NUMEROUS CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE DOCUMENTED THIS VERY ISSUE WITH THE RAM PRODUCT THAT INCLUDE MANY YEARS/MODELS HOWEVER IT SEEMS THAT THIS VERY ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED NOR DOES IT SEEM LIKE IT WILL BE RESOLVED ANY TIME SOON. MANUFACTURE REFUSED BUY BACK OR TRADE IN FOR UNKNOWN REASONS.

DRIVER'S VISOR BROKE WHILE DRIVING, IT FELL INTO THE VISION PATH DANGLING BY THE POWER CABLES. UPON INSPECTION ONLY PLASTIC HOLDS THE METAL ROD IN PLACE, NO GROMMET OR SNAP WASHER IS USED AT THE END OF THE ROD TO SECURE IT IN THE CEILING MOUNT; THE ROD THAT EXTENDS INTO THE BASE IS FREE TO FALL OUT ONCE THE PLASTIC BREAKS. VISOR DOES NOT FREE FALL TO FLOOR, BUT REMAINS SWINGING IN FRONT OF DRIVER, RESULTING IN SEVERE DISTRACTION AND HAVING TO FIGHT TO BREAK THE WIRING FREE TO REMOVE IT QUICKLY. PLASTIC BROKE DURING NORMAL USE SWINGING THE VISOR NORMALLY, POSSIBLY BINDING IN THE MOUNT LED TO THIS, AS THE PLASTIC REMAINING DOES NOT EASILY SWIVEL. PICTURES OF MOUNT AND VISOR ROD ATTACHED.

LOST POWER STEERING WHILE BACKING UP A CAMPER TRAILER

#1 COMPLAINT- THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF SOUNDS LIKE IT ISN'T FULLY SHUT WHEN AT HIGHER SPEEDS (80+) AND WHENEVER THERE ARE CROSSWINDS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY CURRENTLY HAVE THREE OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT AND THAT THERE WASN'T A FIX CURRENTLY. #2 COMPLAINT- A CLIP TO THE SLIDING REAR WINDOW TO THE BED OF THE TRUCK (PICTURE PROVIDED) HAS BROKEN TWICE BY JUST OPENING UP THE WINDOW FROM THE DRIVERS SEAT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE FIRST TIME AND IT WAS FIXED. NOT EVEN A WEEK LATER, THE SAME PART BROKE A SECOND TIME. WILL BE TAKING IT BACK INTO THE DEALER SOON. #3 COMPLAINT- THERE'S A CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT LEFT SUSPENSION AREA WHEN CERTAIN SIZED BUMPS OR HOLES ARE HIT WHILE DRIVING AT LOWER SPEEDS. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT'S A KNOW PROBLEM, BUT THAT THERE WASN'T A FIX CURRENTLY.

TL* THE CONSUMER OWNS A 2019 RAM 1500. WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONSUMER HEARD AN ABNORMAL TICKING NOISE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOB HOWARD CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF TULSA (13250 BROADWAY EXT, OKLAHOMA CITY, OK 73114, 405-749-1111) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MANIFOLD EXHAUST BOLTS WERE CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000. *BF VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY ELITE AUTOMTIVE, 7317 N. CLASSEN BLVD, OLKAHOMA CITY, OK 73116 *AS

WHILE STEERING LEFT, THE STEERING WHEEL GETS HUNG UP, AND DOES RETURN TO CENTER WITHOUT FORCING IT BACK TO CENTER.

SINCE BUYING THIS TRUCK (2019 RAM 1500) PURCHASE DATE 02/09/2019 MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP NAPLETON CHRYSLER JEEP DEALERSHIP (855)517-8371 THEY KEPT MY VEHICLE 3 WEEK AFTER I WAS TOLD PARTS WILL BE IN 2-3 BUSINESS DAYS! THEN 5 DAYS LATER I WAS I WAS TOLD PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER WITHOUT GIVING ME A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. THE SERVICE TECH (ERIC) NEVER CALLS ME BACK I HAVE TO KEEP GOING BACK IN FORTH TRYING TO GET A STATUS UP DATE ON MY VEHICLE.BRAND NEW TRUCK AND NO PARTS FOR IT NOR DOES CAN THE MECHANIC FIND OUT HOW TO FIX IT !!!HE SAID THE MECHANIC CAN'T FOUND THE PROBLEM . I ALSO COMPLAINED ABOUT A SEAT MEMORY ISSUE THAT SAYS NEED SERVICING CONTINUES COMING ON SAYING NEEDS SERVICING. NO ACTION WAS EVER TAKEN TO REPAIR THE PISSUE. I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT THESE ISSUE HE ASSURED ME THAT HE WILL WORK CLOSELY WITH ME AND SERVICE TECH TO FIX THE ISSUES IT NEVER HAPPEN IT WAS JUST TO STOP ME FROM COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SERVICE I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING AND IT HAS BEEN 3 MONTHS 10/06/2019 SINCE I LAST TALK TO THE SERVICE MANAGER. I BEEN DRIVING AROUND WITH A AIRBAG ISSUE WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE SUPPOSE I GET INTO A ACCIDENT WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THE AIRBAG DOE'S NOT DEPLOY. I HAVE OTHER ISSUE THE NAVIGATOR ISSUES THE BREAKS SWEAKS RADIO BUZZ AND WHEN BACK UP THERE NOTHING BEHIND ME AND THE CAR STOPS REALLY HARD AND FLASHING WARNING LIGHT RED JERKING MY NECK REALLY HARD

OUR VEHICLE HAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE BREAKS THAT SHOWED UP WITHIN A WEEK AFTER PURCHASE. IN THE FIRST MONTH OF OWNERSHIP OUR BREAKS LOCK UP WHEN BACKING UP FOR NO APPARENT REASON. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM THE TRUCK HAS TO BE PUT BACK INTO PARK AND THEN INTO REVERSE AGAIN. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AND NEARLY GETTING HIT BECAUSE THE BREAKS LOCKED UP. IT HAS HAPPENED IN OUR DRIVEWAY AS WELL WITH NO OTHER CARS OR OTHER OBSTACLES NEAR. IN THE FIRST MONTH IT HAS HAPPENED NO LESS THAN 6 OR 7 TIMES.

WHILE MAKING A SLIGHT LEFT TURN ABOUT 10 TO 11 O CLOCK STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKING UP AND HAVE TO FORCE THE WHEEL TO CENTER. VERY DANGEROUS IN THE RAIN AND I COULD ONLY IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IN THE WINTER TIME. I NOTICE IT MORE GETTING ON THE ON RAMP OR BACK COUNTRY ROADS WITH A SPEED RANGE FROM 20 TO 45 MPH. THE DEALER CROWN DODGE IN GREENSBORO NC SAYS THAT I NEED TO DO A 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT TO MAKE SURE RIGHT AND THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR BECAUSE ITS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. TRUCK HAS 12160 MILES. CODE IN THE SYSTEM FOR STEERING ANGLE SENSOR. THIS IS UNSAFE AND MY TRUCK HAS BEEN SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR WEEKS NOW WITH NO FINAL REPAIR.

STEERING WHEEL WILL STICK AND NOT RETURN TO CENTER WHEN TURNING LEFT OR VEERING LEFT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND WHEN ENTERING ON RAMPS TO HIGHWAYS. THIS CAN BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS IT TAKES EXCESSIVE FORCE TO BRING THE WHEEL BACK TO CENTER, WHICH COULD LEAD TO OVERCOMPENSATION AND EVENTUALLY WRECKING.

WHILE A/C IS ON AND VENT DIRECTION IS SET TO FRONT, COLD AIR ALSO BLOWS OUT OF THE DEFROST VENT AND FOGS PART OF THE WINDSHIELD

WHEN TURNING ON THE DEFROST IN THE MORNING THE DRIVER SIDE WINDSHIELD BECOMES COMPLETELY OBSTRUCTED BY FOG WHILE THE PASSENGER SIDE IS CLEAR. TYPICALLY TAKES 15 MINUTES BEFORE THE WINDSHIELD WILL CLEAR. THIS IS OCCURRING IN FLORIDA DURING THE MORNINGS. IT HAS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY.

WITH THE HVAC SYSTEM SET TO DASH VENTS, AIR IS ALLOWED TO BLOW THROUGH THE DEFROST VENTS CAUSING FOGGING ON THE WINDSHIELD, MANY MORNINGS THIS FOGGING IS SEVERE AND IMPEDES MY ABILITY TO VIEW OTHER CARS/PEDESTRIANS ON THE ROAD. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN DEC '18. TO DATE RAM HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL, OR SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS. MANY OTHER 2019 RAM 1500 OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE.

CONSTANT FLOW OF COLD AIR TO WINDSHIELD IN ALL AIR MODES. CAUSES FOGGING OF WINDSHIELD AT NIGHT AND DECREASES ABILITY TO SAFELY SEE AT TIMES.

SEVERAL TIMES THE VEHICLE BRAKES HARD (AS IN LOCKS UP THE BRAKES) WHEN BACKING UP AND AUTO BRAKING IS ENABLED, BUT NOTHING IS THERE. SAME THING WHEN DRIVING FORWARD, FORWARD COLLISION WARNING AUTO BRAKES WHEN NOTHING AT ALL IS THERE, ALMOST RESULTING IN BEING REAR ENDED AT LEAST TWICE BEFORE I TURNED IT OFF.. AT LEAST I AM ABLE TO TURN IT OFF. I KEPT THE WARNING ON, AND IT GOES OFF ALL THE TIME WHEN I CROSS SPEED BUMPS OR SHADOWS FROM OVERPASSES. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND CONTINUES AFTER TSBS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO ADDRESS. ANOTHER KNOWN ISSUE THAT RAM ISNT ADDRESSING PUBLICLY IS BRAKE SQUEALING - THERE IS AN INTERNAL MEMO ABOUT IT, BUT DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT ADDRESSING IT - IT HAPPENS WHEN YOU BREAK LIGHTLY TO SLOW DOWN BETWEEN 70-40 MPH, BUT THEY CAN NEVER SEEM TO REPRODUCE IT AT THE DEALER. I OPENED A CASE WITH RAM AND THEY HAVE DONE ANYTHING OTHER THAN WHAT THE DEALER DID...I AM MOST WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY FEATURES CAUSING AN ACCIDENT, PLEASE HELP! LATEST DATE THE FRONT COLLISION WARNING ACTIVATED WHEN NOTHING WAS THERE WAS TODAY. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.

THERE IS A VISIBLE CHUNK OF RUBBER MISSING FROM MY TRUCK TIRE. MY WIFE AND I NOTICED THE ANOMALY ON THE TIRE IN THE MORNING RIGHT BEFORE LEAVING TO WORK. I COMMUTE WITH THIS TRUCK MONDAY THOUGH FRIDAY, ON A SMOOTH HIGHWAY. THESE TIRES HAVE NEVER SEEN HARSH CONDITIONS. THIS IS NOT NORMAL, AND DEFINITELY NOT EXPECTED FOR A VEHICLE WITH SO FEW MILES ON THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE HAS 18400 MILES AND WAS PURCHASED NEW. THESE TIRES ARE MEANT TO LAST MUCH LONGER (5 YEARS / 65,000 MILES). THIS IS A DANGEROUS DEFECT, THAT CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS ESPECIALLY SINCE ONE DOES NOT EXPECT THIS ISSUE TO ARISE. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN BROUGHT TO AN AUTHORIZED SHOP, WORKERS STATE THAT THIS IS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE AND WILL NOT BE COVERED. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. MANUFACTURING DEFECTS SUCH AS THESE SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

COLD AIR BLOWING FROM WINSHEILD DEFROST VENTS AND SIDE WINDOW DEFROST VENTS WHEN AC IS SET TO FACE VENTS ONLY. THIS DEFECT IS CAUSING CONDENSATION TO FORM ON WINDOWS WHICH REDUCE VISIBILITY AND CREATES AN ADDED DISTRACTION. I HAVE HAD OPEN CASES WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND FIAT CHRYSTELR BUT NO RESOLUTION HAS BEEN REACHED. THE ONLY ADVICE OFFERED WAS TO TURN UP THE TEMPERATURES ON THE AC SETTINGS AND THAT IS NOT AN OPTION IN SOUTH FLORIDA. FCA CLAIMS THAT THE VEHICLE IS "RUNNING AS EXPECTED" SIMPOLY BEASIUE ALL LIKE MODELS OF THE RAM 1500'S ALL EXHIBIT THE SAME FAULTY DESIGN AND ALL ALLOW AIR TO BLOW FROM THE DEFROST VENTS WHEN THAT MODE IS NOT SELECTED. I DON'T THINK THAT COMPARING ONE DEFECTIVE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEFECTIVE VEHICLE IS VERY GOOD TO MEASURE OF DETERMINING IF SOMETHING IS RUNNING AS EXPECTED. I HAVE CREATED A FORUM OF THIS SUBJECT AND HAVE A SIGNIFICANT FOLLOWING OF MANY INDIVIDUALS ACROSS THE COUNTRY EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AND THERE HAVE BEEN NO SOLUTIONS OFFERED BY ANY OF THEM EITHER FROM FCA OR THEIR RESPECTIVE DEALERSHIPS. UNFORTUNATELY, IT MAY ONLY BE A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS DEFECT RESULTS IN THE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH OF AN INDIVIDUAL OR INDIVIDUALS AND MAYBE THEN IT WILL BE WORTH FCA'S TIME TO INVEST IN A SOLUTION. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED AND IT NEEDS TO BE DONE EXPEDITIOUSLY.

IN THE CAR ACCIDENT THE AIR BAGS WEREN'T ACTIVATED.

STEERING SEEMS TO STICK TO THE LEFT AT 40 MPH AND UP.ALMOST STICKS AT 10-11 OCLOCK..MUST BE FORCEFULLY RETURNED TO CENTER LINE.SEEMS TO OVER AND UNDER STEER NEEDS TO BE CONSTANTLY MANAGED.IT IS DANGEROUS.

I'M HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING ON MY NEW 2019 RAM 1500 NEW BODY LARAMIE LONGHORN. I NOW HAVE 10,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I NOTICED THIS WHEN I FIRST OBTAINED DELIVERY. MOST OF MY DRIVING HAS BEEN ON RATHER STRAIGHT ROADS WITH A FEW CURVES. I'M IN COLORADO ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE MOUNTAINS. THIS WEEK WE TOOK A TRIP UP INTO THE MOUNTAINS. TOOK SOME BACK ROADS AND OFF THE INTERSTATE DRIVING. DROVE ABOUT 12 HOURS. WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT FOR A CURVE IN THE ROAD, THE STEERING WHEEL CENTERS CORRECTLY, AS ALL VEHICLES WOULD THAT ARE ALIGNED PROPERLY. HOWEVER, A LEFT HAND CURVE AT JUST ABOUT ANY SPEED, HAS A CATCH IN IT. IT WILL WANT TO CONTINUE TURNING LEFT EVEN AFTER I'M OUT OF THE CURVE. IT'S AS IF THERE'S A HIGH SPOT IN A ROUND GEAR OR A TIGHT COG IN A GEAR. I HAVE TO PUT PRESSURE ON THE WHEEL TO PULL IT BACK. I'VE HAD THE ALIGNMENT CHECKED. I MENTIONED SOMETHING TO THE DEALER AFTER FIRST NOTICING IT, AND HE SUGGESTED THE BUTTON THAT WILL PULL BACK THE WHEEL WHEN THE TRUCK WANDERS OUT OF THE LANE. BUT, IT WILL DO THAT WHEN IT'S IN FUNCTION OR WHEN I DISABLE IT. THE STEERING, I'VE BEEN TOLD, IS NOT MECHANICAL BUT ELECTRONIC. I'VE DRIVEN TRUCKS ALL MY LIFE, HAVING A CLASS 1 LICENSE YEARS AGO. 18 WHEELERS, ETC.. I'M 75. NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE WITH ANY VEHICLE. THIS IS DANGEROUS' MY WIFE COULD NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. IT WOULD FREAK HER OUT. HAVING TO PULL THE VEHICLE OUT OF A TURN WHEN IT'S TRYING TO GO INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2019 RAM 1500. WHILE THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND WAS DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE WAS STRUCK BY AN 18-WHEELER. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SOUGHT MEDICAL ATTENTION AT A LOCAL HOSPITAL FOR SHOULDER INJURIES. THE WHEREABOUTS OF THE OTHER DRIVER WERE UNKNOWN. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME AND WAS LATER DEEMED DESTROYED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE THAT THERE WERE THREE UNKNOWN RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VEHICLE. THE RECALL REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED PRIOR TO THE CRASH. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE AIR BAG FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNKNOWN.

AFTER TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, FOR 10 TO 20 MINUTES THE STEERING WILL STICK AT AROUND THE 1100 TO 1000 O'CLOCK POSITION DURING LEFT HAND TURNS ON INTERSTATES. IF LEFT ALONE THE STEERING WILL NOT REALIGN AT THE 12 O'CLOCK POSITION AND VEHICLE WILL CONTINUE TO VEER LEFT . YOU MUST MANUALLY STEER RIGHT PAST A NOTICEABLE DETENT IN THE STEERING PATH TO RETURN THE WHEEL TO CORRECT POSITION. THE LONGER YOU DRIVE THE MORE NOTICEABLE THE STICKING BECOMES AND MORE FORCE IS REQUIRED TO BRING THE WHEEL BACK TO CENTER. AS THE FORCE REQUIREMENT INCREASES THE INCREASE OF OVERCORRECTIONS OCCURS. THIS IS QUICKLY BECOMING VERY DANGEROUS. OF NOTE IS THE FACT THIS WILL NOT OCCUR BELOW HIGHWAY SPEEDS EVEN AFTER TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR 20 MINUTES. ONCE YOU GO BELOW 60 THE MALFUNCTION WILL NOT DUPLICATE. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD ALL REQUIRED RECALL REPAIRS FOR GROUND CABLE PRIOR TO PURCHASE. MAINTENANCE APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER IS SET WITHIN THE WEEK.

WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON JUNE 12TH, 2019. AFTER MANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES WE TOOK IT TO AUTONATION FOR REPAIRS. ON AUGUST 27TH WE PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AND THEY SAID THE KEYFABS ON OUR BRAND NEW TRUCK WERE AFTERMARKET AND CAUSED OVER 120 CODES. DROVE THE VEHICLE ON I45 (FREEWAY) SOUTHBOUND FROM HOUSTON TX AND THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF WHILE IN MOTION. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY BAD ACCIDENT. DRIVING AT 60MPH AND ENGINE DYING. HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED TO TOMBALL DODGE WHERE WE PURCHASED VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE AGAIN HAD OVER 120 CODES ON IT. VEHICLE IS STILL THERE WEEKS LATER.

FEELS LIKE THE STEERING IS STICKING WHEN TURNING LEFT AND RIGHT WHEN TURNING.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WORKS ONLY SOMETIMES ON MY 2019 DODGE RAM 1500 ONLY HAS 28,000 MILES CAN'T SEE MY DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER GAUGES FUEL INFORMATION OR CRUISE CONTROL SETTINGS ONLY COMES ON WHEN IT WANTS TO

AUG 6TH- DRIVING ON HWY, AND PARKING LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT FLASHING. STOPPED MY TRUCK AND BRAKES LOCKED UP. HAD TRUCK TOWED TO DEALER NEXT DAY, AND SERVICE DEPT SAID MY CALIPER DISC BRAKE WENT BAD! THEY REPLACED IT. ALMOST A MONTH LATER ON SEPT 1ST 2019, IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING! MY HUSBAND WAS FOLLOWING ME, AND SAW SPARKS. STOPPED TRUCK AND BREAKS LOCKED UP AGAIN! HAVING IT TOWED TO SHOP AGAIN ON TUES SEPT 3RD BEING THEY WERE CLOSED FOR LABOR DAY. SINCE I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK 1 YEAR AGO, IV HAD BRAKE PROBLEM ALL ALONG, AND NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE SHOP FOR IT. THEY HAVE REPLACED AND TURNED MY ROTERS 2 TIMES ALREADY, AND THAT HAS NOT HELPED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AS THE BRAKES WERE MALFUNCTIONING. THE CONTACT KEPT TRYING TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS KEPT FLASHING. AFTER FIFTEEN MINUTES, THE VEHICLE FINALLY STARTED UP AND FUNCTIONED NORMALLY WHILE THE INDICATORS WERE STILL FLASHING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CALL NHTSA. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000.

I OWN A 2019 RAM 1500 AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS STOPPED ILLUMINATING. I CONDUCTED INTERNET RESEARCH AND LEARNED THERE IS A PENDING RECALL FOR 1... YES 1 RAM TRUCK IN THE US WITH THIS ISSUE. EUREKA, I THINK I'VE LOCATED IT! I CALLED THE RECALL PHONE NUMBER FOR FCA AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION. THE CALL TAKER WAS UNABLE TO COMPREHEND THE ISSUE AND REPEATEDLY TOLD ME I COULD NOT SPEAK WITH A MANAGER. THE CALL TAKER HUNG UP ON ME. I CALLED BACK AND SPOKE TO A DIFFERENT REPRESENTATIVE AND SHE WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO SPEAK TO A MANAGER EITHER. THIS ISSUE IS ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 19V556000. I NEED THIS RECALL TO BE ISSUED QUICKLY SO IT CAN BE FIXED. ACCORDING TO VARIOUS SITES, THE OWNER (I ASSUME ME) WILL BE NOTIFIED IN EARLY SEPTEMBER. MAYBE WE CAN JUST TAKE CARE OF THIS NOW. I AM CONCERNED WITH THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ISSUE SINCE IT IS THE DISPLAY CENTER FOR MY ODOMETER, AND ALL OTHER WARNING SYSTEMS ON THE VEHICLE. I HAVE PREVIOUSLY TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR PERIODIC ILLUMINATED CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS. THE FIRST TIME I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRUCK HAD NO RECORD OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT EVER BEING ILLUMINATED. I TOOK IT BACK AFTER MORE ILLUMINATIONS KEPT CONTINUING. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THE TRUCK FOR A WEEK AND WERE FINALLY ABLE TO TROUBLESHOOT THE ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH MY RATHER LARGE RADIO SCREEN FAILING TO TURN ON AND / OR WORK. ADDITIONALLY, THE BRAKES SQUEAL LIKE CRAZY. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND SAID IT WAS JUST BRAKE D

WHILE MY 2019 RAM 1500 IS IN MOTION, IT HAS A PULL / DRIFT TO THE RIGHT. THE PULL / DRIFT TO THE RIGHT OCCURS WHEN LIGHTLY HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL OR MOMENTARILY LETTING GO OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE PULL / DRIFT TO THE RIGHT OCCURS ON ALL TYPES OF ROAD SURFACES. THE GRADE OF THE ROAD DOES IMPACT THE PULL / DRIFT AS IT IS EXAGGERATED WITH A STEEPER RIGHTWARD GRADE, HOWEVER IT WILL DRIVE STRAIGHT IF THE ROAD HAS A SLIGHT LEFTWARD GRADE. WITH A MILD RIGHTWARD GRADE, I HAVE TO PUT A LITTLE LEFTWARD PRESSURE ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP IT FROM VEERING RIGHT. THIS OCCURS AT SPEEDS OF 10 TO 80MPH ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. IF THE DRIVER GETS DISTRACTED FOR A MOMENT, THE VEHICLE WILL UNINTENTIONALLY CHANGE LANES OR PULL THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE HAD IT SERVICED AND THE ALIGNMENT CHECKED 4 TIMES AT CORWIN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM IN FARGO, ND AND THEY TELL ME THE ALIGNMENT IS WITHIN SPEC AND THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THEY CAN DO. TIRE PRESSURE IS EQUAL IN ALL FOUR TIRES. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATES A RIGHTWARD PULL IS CHARACTERISTIC OF NEW VEHICLES. I DO NOT BELIEVE MY VEHICLE, NOR ANY ANYONE ELSE'S, SHOULD BE PULLING TO THE RIGHT AND POTENTIALLY CAUSING A MOTOR VEHICLE CRASH. THE TRUCK SHOULD DRIVE STRAIGHT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF OUTSIDE INFLUENCES SUCH AS STEEP ROAD GRADES, HIGH CROSS WINDS, ETC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL MADE A GRINDING NOISE WHEN TURNED LEFT OR RIGHT. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON A DAILY BASIS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GOLLING CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF CHELSEA (1500 S MAIN ST, CHELSEA, MI 48118, (734) 475-8661) FOUR TIMES, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN MAY OF 2018. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,000.

WHEN BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY WITHOUT ANY OBSTRUCTIONS THE BRAKE ASSISTANCE WILL ENGAGE. THIS HAS CAUSED INJURY WITH HEADS HITTING THE CEILING AND WHIPLASH. FCA/RAM SAYS THIS IS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED BUT AS DESIGNED THIS SHOULD HAVE PREVENTED AN ACCIDENT BUT DID NOT. THIS IS A CONCERN AS IT CAN CAUSE INJURY TO MANY BY ENGAGING WHEN THERE IS NO OBSTRUCTION OR ANYTHING TO CAUSE IT TO ENGAGE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS INFORMED ME THAT FCA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT NO RESOLUTION FOR THIS. I AM TIRED OF NOT BEING ABLE TO USE A SAFETY FEATURE DUE TO IT CAUSING INJURY AND NOT AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS AND ONE TIME THEY MADE IT WORSE. THE LAST TIME THEY SENT ME HOME WITH A SIMILAR TRUCK AND THAT ONE DID NOT DO IT EACH TIME LIKE MINE. SO THERE IS A VARIANCE IN THE CODE FROM ONE TRUCK TO ANOTHER THAT IS NOT CONSISTENT AND CAUSES MORE HARM THAN IT WOULD PREVENT. I LOOK FORWARD TO A RESOLUTION BY FCA AS THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINT VIDEOS ONLINE ABOUT HOW THIS ENGAGES FOR GRASS OR OTHER THINGS THAT ARE NOT AN IMMEDIATE DANGER. IT ALSO HAS DONE THIS WHEN IT WAS RAINING ON A FLAT SURFACE. THIS FEATURE NEEDS MORE TESTING AND AN UPDATE SOON TO BE CALLED A SAFETY FEATURE OF THE 2019 RAM BRAND. A LINK TO THE VIDEOS CAN BE SHARED AND WAS EMAILED TO THE [email protected] ADDRESS. THEY ARE TO LARGE TO LOAD ON THIS SITE DUE TO THE TIME LENGTH TO CAPTURE ALL DETAILS OF THE INCIDENTS. THE VIDEOS ARE BOTH OF THE NEWER RAM AND MINE. THE DIFFERENCE I

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO POGUE CHRYSLER (2252 WEST EVERLY BROTHERS BOULEVARD, POWDERLY, KY 42367, (270)-641-0400) TO HAVE THE FRONT BRAKE PADS REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR BRAKES FAILED WHEN REVERSING THE VEHICLE AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO JERK VIOLENTLY. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE A FAILURE CODE. THE DEALER TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE CONTACT AND WAS ABLE TO RECREATE THE REAR BRAKE JERKING FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE JERKING WAS NORMAL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

TL* THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING A 2019 RAM 1500 LOANER VEHICLE. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE PEDAL DID NOT RETURN TO ITS POSITION AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE TO 90 MPH. THE CONTACT HAD TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL AND REACHED DOWN TO PULL THE PEDAL BACK UP. THE CONTACT INVESTIGATED AND FOUND THAT THE PEDAL BECAME CAUGHT IN THE GROOVES OF THE FLOORMAT. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE, THE REAR WHEELS BEGAN SPINNING AND SMOKING. ALSO, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 300. *DT INVESTIGATION #XXXXX ('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

I WENT TO OPEN MY TAILGATE AND IT CAN OFF THE HINGES AND FELL TO THE GROUND, PULLED THE WIRING OUT AND SCRATCHED THE PAINT. NOW MY GPS AND BACK UP CAMERA DOESN'T WORK. ALONG WITH INJURING MY ARM SINCE I JUST HAD LIGAMENT SURGERY. IT WAS STATIONARY IN MY DRIVEWAY.

2019 RAM WITH 13,000 MILES. AFTER MY FIRST ENGINE OIL CHANGE AT 10,000 MILES CONDUCTED BY THE RAM DEALERSHIP. DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS IN THE STREET AND IN THE HIGHWAY WHILE IN MOTION I FEEL THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING, LIKE IT TAKES A COUPLE OF SECONDS TO FULLY ENGAGE. THE TRUCK IS NEW AND IS HAPPENING DAILY. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED IMMEDIATELY.

CONTACT STATED I BOUGHT MY 2019 RAM 1500 AT THE END OF MAY ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO. IN OVER 40 YEARS DRIVING MY RECENT EXPERIENCE WAS ONE OF THE MOST FRIGHTENING. I GOT ON INTERSTATE 10 HERE IN HOUSTON, I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND THE MOTOR VEHICLES BEHIND ME WERE TWO BIG RIGS MOVING AT A GOOD SPEED. I NEEDED TO GET TO THE LEFT LANE FOR EASY PASS. TO GET OUT OF THE TRUCKERS WAY I "PUT MY PEDAL TO THE METAL" AS THE PHRASE GOES. I FELT I BELIEVE IT WAS THREE CRUNCHES UNDER MY RIGHT FOOT. RIGHT AT THIS TIME MY GAS PEDAL WENT BACK AND HIT THE FIRE-WALL CARPET.WAS DRIVING IN MY 3 MONTH OLD RAM 1500 WITH 1840 MILES ON IT. ACCELERATED TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY, PRESSED THE PEDAL AND IT CLICKED LIKE GEARS WERE BREAKING. I COULD FEEL IT UNDER MY SHOE. THE PEDAL GOT STUCK AND I WAS REALLY ACCELERATING, I HIT THE BRAKE HARD AND IT SLOWED THE CAR. I GOT MY SHOE BEHIND THE PEDAL UP HIGH AND PULLED IT TOWARD ME. THE DASH LIT UP "A!" SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROLLER! I MOVED THE PEDALS TOWARD ME LIKE A SHORT PERSON WOULD DRIVE. THE ENTIRE PEDAL WOBBLES LIKE ITS BROKEN INSIDE THE UNIT. I PUT A CALL INTO SOMEONE AT THE DEALERSHIP. ON THE FOLLOWING DAY, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21ST. I BROUGHT MY TRUCK IN TO THE DEALER. THEY JACKED INTO THE OBD CONNECTOR AND A MINUTE LATER IT SHOUT OUT 6-7 ISSUES. THEY GAVE ME A LOANER CAR AND SAID THIS WOULD TAKE A FEW DAYS TO SORT. I GOT A CALL ABOUT TWO HOURS LATER TELLING ME THAT A NEW THROTTLE CONTROLLER HAD TO BE ORDERED AND THAT WOULD TAKE ABOUT A WEEK TO GET. TH

I OPENED THE DOOR ON MY 2019 RAM AND I WAS THE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THESE TRUCKS WERE LOCK THE BRAKES IF IN DRIVE AND THE DOOR IS OPENED. IT DID NOT STOP AND RAN INTO A POLE CAUSING $550.00 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO THE FRONT BUMPER . THIS TRUCK IS SUPPOSED TO BE EQUIPPED WITH FRONT AND REAR SENSORS TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND IT DIDN'T WORK GOING FORWARD, BUT DOES WORK IN REVERSE.
