2019 Ram 1500 complaints

2019 RAM 1500 CENSER ISSUE, BREAKS WILL ENGAGE WHILE IN DRIVE INDICATING PARKING CENSER FRONT OR BACK THAT OBJECT IS TO CLOSE WITH NOTHING THERE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT ALL TRAFFIC STARTS TO MOVE TRUCK BRAKE WILL ENGAGE NOT ALLOWING TRUCK TO MOVE FORWARD. WE HAVE TO DISENGAGE THE CENSER TO BE ABLE TO MOVE. CLOSE TO ACCIDENT WITH OTHER TRUCK COMING TO INTERSECTION AND LIGHT BEING GREEN. I COULD NOT MOVE BECAUSE BREAK WOULD NOT DISENGAGE. WE HAVE TO TURN OFF BOTH PARKING ASSISTANT CENSERS TO BE ABLE TO MOVE. AFTER THIRD INCIDENT WE HAVE LEFT THE PARKING CENSERS OFF. CALLED DEALERSHIP WAS TOLD TO CLEAN CENSER THAT POSSIBLE LARGER DEBRIS MAY BE CAUSE, ALSO WASHED TRUCK BUT ISSUE CONTINUED. TAKING FOR SERVICE NEXT WEEK WITH DEALERSHIP.

A/C DOES NOT GET COLD AND HAVE TO CLOSE REAR VENTS FOR IT TO PUSH HARD

I FEEL A KNOCKING SENSATION EITHER WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES OR GAS AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE. IN MY OPINION, IT FEELS LIKE EITHER THE TRANSMISSION OR DRIVE SHAFT ARE SLIPPING. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN THE CITY AND USUALLY WHEN STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT OR SIGN.

AC IS NOT WORKING AND THE GPS/RADIO BLINKING ON AND OFF WITH A ERROR MESSAGE

WHEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT ONE HOUR WHEN TURNING TO THE LEFT THE STEERING STICKS AND I HAVE TO MANUALLY BRING IT TO CENTER. IT WILL NOT RETURN TO CENTER UNLESS I TURN IT TO THE RIGHT. ITS ENTERTAINMENT AND IVE HAD IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP MENY TIMES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND MAY LOSE CONTROL BY OVERCOMPENSATING FOR IT. I HAVE HAD ALL THE UPDATES AND RECALLS PERFORMED ON THE TRUCK BUT NOTHING HAS RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. DOGE NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUES ASAP.

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE UNDER IDEAL CONDITIONS AND BOTH SIDES CURTAIN AIRBAG DEPLOYED TO INCLUDE THE SEAT AIRBAGS. THE CABIN BECAME SMOKY, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO VEER OFF THE ROAD DUE TO NO VISIBILITY. THE VEHICLE WHEN UP AND EMBANKMENT AND BACK DOWN BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. *DT CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURE IMMEDIATEDLY AND WAS TOLD THAT AN INVESTIGATOR WOULD TAKE A LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLLY UNDER THE POSSESSION OF USAA AND IS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING TOWED TO SERVICE KING, 1635 FORT CAMPBELL BLVD, CLARKSVILLE,TN 37042 (931)245-1616. *JB *DT *DT *TR ATTACHED IS THE REQUESTED CDR REPORT (EDR DATA) FOR ODI XXXXXXXX.

STEERING STICKS WHEN IN A LEFT TURN AT HIGHWAY SPEED HAVE TO FORCIBLY RECENTER IT WHEN COMING OUT OF THE TURN IT WILL KEEP TURNING LEFT IF PRESSURE ON THE WHEEL IS RELAXED.

ON 8 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, JUST THIS WEEK ALONE, THE BRAKING ASSIST ENGAGED WHILE BACKING UP OUT OF A DRIVEWAY. EACH TIME, THERE WAS NOTHING BEHIND ME AND I WASN'T ON A STEEP INCLINE. IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES BACK TO BACK, AND THE OTHER 5 TIMES INDEPENDENTLY. EACH TIME, IT SERIOUSLY HURT MY AND MY PASSENGERS NECKS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES FAILED ON THREE OCCASIONS. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD EITHER BECOME REALLY SOFT OR IT WOULD TRAVEL TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN DEPRESSED. THE FAILURES OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO BUTRNESS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (1421 W MAIN ST, WHITEWATER, WI 53190, (262) 473-6060) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT NEW BRAKE MASTER CYLINDERS MAY NEED TO BE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,100.

STEERING WHEEL OCCASIONALLY DOES NOT RETURN TO CENTER WHEN TURNING LEFT. I CAN LET GO OF STEERING WHEEL AND IT WILL STICK IN THE 10 O'CLOCK POSITION FOR EXAMPLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2019 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE DRIVER WAS DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, ANOTHER VEHICLE CUT IN FRONT IMMEDIATELY AS THE LANES WERE MERGING. AS A RESULT, THE DRIVER DEPRESSED ON THE THE BRAKE PEDAL AND SWERVED TO THE LEFT DIRECTION CRASHING INTO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WHO CUT IN FRONT AND INTO A CURB. AFTER THE CRASH, THE VEHICLE ENGULFED IN FLAMES INSTANTLY. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED BUT IT WAS UNKNOWN IF A FIRE REPORT WAS FILED.

HAD TRUCK LESS THAN A WEEK, WHEN MY TIRE PRESSURES ALERTED THAT WERE LOW, ANYWHERE FROM 2-5 POUNDS. FILLED UP, AND A WEEK LATER, SAME THING. THIS ALSO HAPPENED ON MY 2016, BUT ROUGHLY ONCE A MONTH IF NOT LESS OFTEN.

WHILE STEERING LEFT AND RIGHT, THE POWER STEERING SEEMS TO INTERMITTENTLY GO OUT, IT HAPPENS OFF AND ON, AND YOU HAVE TO HOLD ON TIGHTLY TO THE STEERING WHEEL OR YOU WILL LOOSE CONTROL, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TELL ME IT IS NORMAL FOR THIS TRUCK WHICH I STRONGLY DISAGREED WITH THEM, A NEW TRUCK OR ANY NEW CAR DOES NOT JUST LOOSE STEERING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 19V067000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) AND 19V407000 (AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS). THE CONTACT CALLED ATLANTIC DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP AT 888-909-4754 (LOCATED AT 2330 US HIGHWAY 1 S, SAINT AUGUSTINE, FL 32086) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

STANDARD HALOGEN LIGHTING NOT ADEQUATE AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN. HAVE REACHED OUT TO RAM CORPORATE FOR CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AND HAVE BEEN DENIED.

THE TRUCK WILL INCREASE AND DECREASE ENGINE RPM'S FROM IDLING AT 6000 TO 14000 AT LOW SPEEDS WTH A/C ENGAGED. THIS HAPPENS IN ALLDRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS MAKES PARKING AND DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC MOST CHALLENGING.

DOESN'T MATTER IF TRUCK IS MOVING OR STATIONARY, THE DEFROST WILL CLEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE. I HAVE NOT HAD THIS TRUCK DURING THE WINTER, BUT THIS WOULD BE GREATLY PROBLEMATIC AND DANGEROUS IF OCCURRED DURING THE WINTER.

DRIVING IN CITY TRAFFIC 45MPH AND LOST POWER WITH ENGINE RUNNING AND RACED UP BUT TRUCK WOULDN'T MOVE. I COASTED INTO CENTER LANE AND PUT MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS ON, WAITED FOR RPMS TO GO DOWN ABOUT A MINUTE THEN TRIED TO ACCELERATE INTO A LANE AND THE TRUCKED RACED UP BUT BARELY MOVED. I COASTED INTO TURNING LANE AND INTO PARKING LOT, SHUT OFF VEHICLE AND WAITED 5 MINUTES AND RESTARTED AND TRUCK WAS DRIVING NORMALLY THE NEXT 5 MILES TO MY HOUSE.

I HAD JUST FINISHED PUMPING GAS AND TURNED ON MY TRUCK AND SHIFTED FROM PARK TO DRIVE. WHEN I DID THIS, NOTHING HAPPENED. I THOUGHT MAYBE I DIDN'T TURN THE TRUCK ON SO I PRESSED THE PUSH START BUTTON AND TURNED OFF. TURNED IT ON AGAIN AND SHIFTED FROM P TO D AND STILL NOTHING. STILL IN D I VERY LIGHTLY PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND THE TRUCK JOLTED FORWARD. THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. I'M NOT A MECHANIC BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, OTHER PEOPLE WITH SAME TRUCK HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS TO BE THE ELECTRONIC GEARBOX. I HAVE ALSO HEARD A NOISE EVERY TIME I PRESS THE BRAKE THAT COMES FROM THE ELECTRONIC GEARBOX AND ALSO A NOISE THAT COMES FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL ITSELF THAT SOUNDS LIKE SPARKS. MY TRUCK HAS UNDER 400 MILES AS I WRITE THIS ON 07/04/2019. HAVE HAD IT LESS THAN 10 DAYS.

ENGINE WAS STARTED ON THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS PUT INTO GEAR WITH THE BRAKE PRESSED FIRMLY DOWN. THE VEHICLE STARTED MOVING EVEN WHILE BRAKE WAS PRESSED VERY FIRMLY IN. BRAKE PEDAL WAS ENGAGED AS FAR AS IT COULD BE, BUT THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO PICK UP SPEED UNTIL IT COLLIDED INTO ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE. THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING AT ALL. IT CAUSED A CRASH WHICH CAUSED DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES, MINE BEING A BENT UP BUMPER ON A 2 WEEK OLD TRUCK.

ON A BRAND NEW 2019 DODGE RAM 1500 WITH LESS THAN 200 MILES ON IT, WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE, WITH THE TRUCK STATIONARY, THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE RIGHT AWAY, BUT SUDDENLY ENGAGES AT 1,000 OR HIGHER RPM AND RAPIDLY LUNGES FORWARD. THIS IS AN ELECTRONIC SHIFT TRANSMISSION SO IT APPEARS THAT DESPITE THE VEHICLE SHIFT INDICATORS BOTH SHOWING THE TRUCK IS IN "DRIVE" AND READY TO MOVE FORWARD, IT IS NOT ACTUALLY SAFELY READY TO MOVE FORWARD. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SINCE THE SUDDEN LUNGING OF THE TRUCK MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND COULD EASILY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IN ANY CROWDED AREA, SUCH AS A PARKING LOT OR URBAN STREET.

AFTER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT ON MY 2019 RAM 1500 THE ENGINE DID NOT SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY. THE TRUCK ACCELERATED AFTER THE DEPLOYMENT DESPITE STANDING ON THE BRAKES. END RESULT WAS TRUCK IMPACTED GUARD RAIL AFTER THE COLLISION WITH THE OTHER VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE IT SHUT DOWN.

STEERING KEEPS INTERMITTENTLY STICKING WHEN TURNING LEFT

VEHICLE WAS PRUCHASED FROM WALDORF DODGE (06/12/20190 WITH TWO (2) OPEN RECALLS, V07 & V71. AS THE CUSTOMER, I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALLS ON MY OWN (INCLUDING ONE THAT HAD BEEN KNOWN OF SINCE FEB 2019) AND HAD TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP (WHO IGNORED THE WARNING ABOUT THE RECALLS DURING THE SALE AND FAILED TO TELL ME, THE CUSTOMER) TO FIX THIS ISSUE.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, 60 MPH. PICK UP RAN IN FRONT OF ME . TOTALED MY PICK UP AND AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

DRIVING AT 70MPH THE TRUCK WITHOUT WARNING WENT TO IDLE WITH CLICKING SOUND TOWED TO DEALER SAID NOTHING WRONG IT WAS BAD FUEL NOT TRUE FUEL WAS FRESH. TALKED TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD NOT AWARE OF PROBLEM. I KNOW THIS IS NOT TRUE TALKED TO OTHER RAM OWNERS HAD SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS WHEN IT HAPPENS YOU SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTART IT, IT ACTS NORMAL. THERE IS SOME BUG IN THEIR SYSTEM THAT IS CAUSING THIS SHUT DOWN NO ONE CAN FIND IT I HAVE HEARD THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH SOME OF THEIR VEHICLES. BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED THESE VEHICLE SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD UNTIL THE BUG IS FOUND. I NEARLY GOT MYSELF AND OTHERS KILLED ON THE FREEWAY. I HAVE TALKED TO THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM EXISTS THEY WILL BLAME FUEL OR ANYTHING. MY TRUCK IS A 2019 AT THE TIME OF THE SHUTDOWN THERE WAS 600 MILES ON THE TRUCK. FOR NOW THE TRUCK IS SITTING UNTIL I GET SOME ANSWERS. I KNOW THERE ARE OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND NEED HELP OR THE PROPER REPAIR MADE WE THE PUBLIC SHOULD NOT BE THE TEST DRIVERS RISKING OUR LIVES FOR FCA.

I HAVE A NEW 2019 RAM 1500. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS (APPROXIMATELY 6), THE TRUCK UNEXPECTEDLY LURCHES AND BEGINS ACCELERATING BY ITSELF, NEVER STOPPING. THIS ACCELERATION TAKES PLACE IN BOTH DRIVE AND REVERSE. THE VEHICLE CAN ONLY BE CONTROLLED WITH HEAVY BREAKING OR FLIPPING THE TRUCK INTO NEUTRAL. IF THE TRUCK IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, THE ACCELERATION STOPS. HOWEVER, IT REOCCURS SHORTLY THEREAFTER, SOMETIMES IN ONLY A FEW BLOCKS. DURING THIS UNCONTROLLABLE ACCELERATION, THE GAS PEDAL DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. THIS CURRENTLY HAS ONLY OCCURRED DURING SLOW SPEEDS WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN. THE DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE TRUCK NUMEROUS TIMES, UNSUCCESSFULLY. I CURRENTLY DO NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK ON THE HIGHWAY OUT OF FEAR ON HOW THE TRUCK WILL REACT WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS AT HIGH SPEEDS. THIS ISSUE IS A SAFETY RISK TO THOSE IN THE TRUCK AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD.

APRIL 30,2019 MY WIFE WAS IN OUR YARD AND MADE A SHARP RIGHT TURN INTO DRIVEWAY PUT ON BRAKES TRUCK DIDN'T STOP APPLIED BRAKES HARDER TRUCK ACCELERATED BRAKES DIDN'T STOP TRUCK AND PARK-ASSIST DIDN'T STOP TRUCK . TRUCK WENT THROUGH STEPS THEN HIT HOUSE KNOCKING HOUSE OFF FOUNDATION. AIR BAG DIDN'T DEPLORE. *BF*JB

WHILE DRIVING A BRAND NEW DODGE RAM 1500 (2019) THE TRUCK SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO CONTROL THE STEERING OF THE TRUCK, NOR COULD I CONTROL THE TRUCK. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE CITY STREETS AS WELL AS THE HIGHWAY AND IT IS VERY SCARY.

WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING AND PUT INTO REVERSE THE BACKUP CAMERA RANDOMLY QUITS WORKING. GET A BLUE SCREEN. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN JANUARY 2019. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THAT THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF IT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP YESTERDAY AND OF COURSE CAMERA WAS WORKING FINE. TODAY IT HASN'T WORKED ALL DAY. THE

A ROARING SOUND AND VIBRATION BETWEEN 10 AND 60MPH. ON CITY STREETS OR HIGHWAYS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 RAM 1500. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND MAKING LEFT TURNS, THE STEERING WHEEL MOMENTARILY SEIZED BEFORE RETURNING TO THE CENTER POSITION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT PRESENT WHEN MAKING RIGHT TURNS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MCCLURG CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP (LOCATED AT 125 N CENTER ST, PERRY, NY 14530, (585) 969-3496) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE.

ENTERPRISE RENTAL - WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY CITY FREEWAY, THE PICK UP TRUCK LOST ALL IT'S SPEED AS IF TRANSMISSION SWITCHED FROM (DRIVE) TO (NEUTRAL). THIS OCCURRED AT APPROXIMATELY 1,180 MILES (ODOMETER), AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE LEFT LANE (FAST LANE) GOING AROUND 75/80 MPH THE VEHICLE'S RPMS SPED UP TO 5000/6000 WHILE THE SPEEDOMETER SHOW THE VEHICLE SLOWING DOWN AS THE PICK UP TRUCK LOST IT'S SPEED. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON AS I ATTEMPTED TO PULL OVER ONTO THE LEFT SHOULDER. I ALSO PROMPTLY REALIZED THAT THE RPMS WERE AS HIGH DUE TO MY FOOT STILL RESTING ON THE ACCELERATOR, I ALSO CHECKED THAT THE PICK UP TRUCK'S GEAR WAS STILL LIT UP AS (DRIVE) - AND I CONFIRMED THAT IT STILL WAS, BUT THE PICK UP TRUCK WAS NOT RESPONDING. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP THE PICK UP TRUCK WAS PLACED IN (PARK) AND NO WARNING MESSAGES/LIGHTS LIT UP (BEFORE/DURING/AFTER INCIDENT). AS I THE PICK UP TRUK WAS STILL RUNNING IN (PARK) I TURNED OFF THE (A) BUTTON LOCATED BELOW THE GEAR KNOB (AUTOSTOP MODE) JUST IN CASE THAT MIGHT HAVE PROMPTED THIS (HIGHLY UNLIKELY BUT - JUST IN CASE). AFTER INSPECTING ALL GAGUES IN DASHBOARD (ENGINE TEMP/BATTERY/TRANSMISSION OIL TEMP ETC) ALL OK, THE PICK UP TRUCK WAS PLACED IN (DRIVE) GEAR AFTER, THE PICK UP TRUCK RESPONDED TO THE GAS PEDAL'S INPUT (NORMALLY). OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS AROUND 100 DEGREES (F), PRIOR TO INCIDENT PICK UP TRUCK HAD BEEN PARKED FOR 6HRS IN THE SUN; INCIDENT OCCURRED AFTER DRIVING THROUGH A 1- 1 1/2 INCH RAISED CONCRETE

I'M NOT SURE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT WHEN I ACCELERATE SOMETHING VIBRATES LOUDLY, THIS STARTED LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER PURCHASING THIS TRUCK NEW. IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS VIBRATING ON OR WITHIN THE DASHBOARD. I'VE TRIED TO FIND THE PROBLEM MYSELF WITH NO SUCCESS. I LOOK AT ONLINE FORUMS AND FOUND A LOT OF OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES BUT CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT'S DOING THIS. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND I HOPE I CAN GET THIS FIXED!!

WHEN I TRY TO PUT MY NEW TRUCK IN GEAR (STATIONARY) THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS NOT TO SLIDE INTO DRIVE AND THE TRUCK JUST SITS THERE. I'VE CHECKED THE BRAKES AND AL THE DIGITAL STUFF AND NOTHING IS HOLDING THE TRUCK BACK, IT'S JUST NOT CLICKING INTO GEAR. THEN, WHEN I APPLY A LITTLE PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR, THE ENGINE REVS UP A BIT AND THE TRUCK LURCHES INTO GEAR. SOMETIMES, IT'S HARD TO KNOW WHEN THE SURGE/LURCH IS COMING, HIN I HAVE MAKES THIS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE ENGINE IS RUNNING AND THE TRUCKS SHOWS THAT IT'S IN GEAR, SO IT'S NATURAL TO HIT THE GAS AND GO. THE LAG AND LURCH IS HARD TO DETECT UNTIL THE WHOLE VEHICLE CONVULSES. THIS COULD ABSOLUTELY CAUSE SOMEONE TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND HIT SOMETHING OR SOMEONE. I'VE ALSO READ A SERIES OF COMMENTS ONLINE FROM OTHER OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURE. SO, RAM NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING SYSTEMATIC OR THIS WILL HURT SOMEONE SOMEDAY...

I LET MY SON OFF AT TSC DOOR, TURNED TO PARK, AND BAM!!, LOUD NOISE AS IF I HIT CONCRETE. I PROCEEDED TO MOVE FORWARD, TO ONLY HAVE MY TRUCK VEER TO THE LEFT, BUMPING UP NEXT TO POLE. I REVERSED SLIGHTLY AND MY LEFT FRONT SIDE WENT DOWN. I STOPPED. GOT OUT AND SEEN MY FRONT LEFT TIRE DOWN INWARD, FOUND A BROKEN PIECE UNDER THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK. CALLED MY INSURANCE SF, WAS TOLD TO CALL CHRYSLER BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY. CHRYSLER CONTACTED. TRUCK WAS TOWED TO NEAREST CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. THIS OCCURED APRIL 9TH, 2019. I JUST BOUGHT THE TRUCK JAN. 4TH, 2019. THE BROKEN PIECE IS THE KNUCKLE TO THE SPINDLE, MY STEERING WAS GONE. IT SAT AT THE DEALERSHIP UNTIL APRIL 26TH, 2019. HAVING BEEN SEEN BY 3 CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVES, 2 OF WHICH DEEMED THE PART DEFECTIVE, THE 3RD DEEMED IT MY FAULT FOR HITTING THE POLE, DENYING MY CLAIM. STATE FARM NOTIFIED AND FILED A CLAIM AS COLLISION?? TRANSFERRED TRUCK TO COLLISION CENTER TO START REPAIRS ON MAY 8TH,2019. STATE FARM WILL NOT PAY FOR DEFECTIVE SPINDLE, STATES CHRYSLERS RESONSIBILTY. CHRYSLER DENIES THAT SPINDLE IS DEFECTIVE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!! I WAS LUCKY IN THAT IT BROKE IN A PARKING LOT AND NOT ON THE ROAD. THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE AND MAY END UP A FATALITY. CHRYLSER NEEDS TO TAKE OWNERSHIP AND RECALL THESE SPINDLES. THE NEW SPINDLES THAT ARE ABOUT TO BE PUT ON MY TRUCK ARE NOTABLY BETTER MADE. OBVIOUSLY CHRYSLER IS AWARE! FOR MY PIECE OF MIND.....I AM REPLACING THE ONE ON THE RIGHT AS WELL. T

AT 18:00 MILES STARTED DEVELOPING A SHIMMY HAD TIRES ROTATED READ BALANCED HAS NOT CREATED THE PROBLEM

VEHICLE OCCASIONALLY STICKS IN PARK WHEN YOU PUT IT IN DRIVE. IT RELEASES WHEN THE RPMS RAISE ENOUGH TO OVERPOWER WHAT IS HANGING. THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO LUNGE FORWARD ONCE WHATEVER IS HANGING IT IS OVERPOWERED BY THE INPUT RPM'S, THE NATURAL RESPONSE WHEN YOU PUT IT IN DRIVE IS TO HIT THE GAS. IF YOU ARE NOT EXPECTING THIS TO HAPPEN, YOU CAN IMAGINE THE POTENTIAL RESULT. AT LEAST ONE PERSON (MANY HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN) HAS CLAIMED THAT IT OCCURRED IN HIS GARAGE WHILE HIS WIFE WAS CROSSING IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE NEARLY PINNING HER BETWEEN THE VEHICLE AND THE GARAGE. PROBLEM HAPPENS UNDER RANDOM CIRCUMSTANCES WITH NO APPARENT PATTERN AND CANNOT BE MADE TO HAPPEN ON COMMAND, IN MANY CASES THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT FIX ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY CANNOT GET THE PROBLEM TO OCCUR IN THEIR PRESENCE. I PERSONALLY VIDEO'D IT HAPPENING AND SHOWED TO TO THE SERVICE MANAGER. THEY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR ONE WEEK AND WERE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. I PICKED THE VEHICLE UP AND THE PROBLEM OCCURRED 5 MINUTES LATER. I CALLED THE SERVICE MANAGER WHILE IT WAS HAPPENING AND HE CAME TO MY LOCATION AND WITNESSED THE ISSUE FIRST HAND. HE WILL ADVISE IN THE COMING DAYS AS TO THE PLAN FOR RESOLUTION. THE VIDEO CAN ME FOUND HERE: HTTPS://M.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=MWL4XFFHOKY

WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL BACK TO THE CENTER FROM THE LEFT, THERE SEEMS TO BE A CATCH AND IT RESISTS TURNING. IT SEEMS TO MATCH OTHER RECALLS OUT THERE, BUT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY OF THE CURRENT, DOCUMENTED RECALLS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AUTO START/STOP FEATURE WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AS THE VEHICLE HAD LUNGED FORWARD SEVERAL TIMES CAUSING THE CONTACT TO APPLY EXTREME FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER (LUSTINE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 14211 JEFFERSON DAVIS HWY, WOODBRIDGE, VA 22191, (703) 496-5202)) HAD NOT TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE YET TO DETERMINE IF THEY MAY BE ABLE TO REPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE FEATURE MAY CAUSE A CATASTROPHIC CRASH DUE TO THE INTERMITTENT FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE TO DETERMINE IF THEY HAD A REMEDY. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11.

PURCHASED TRUCK IN DEC 2018. ABOUT A MONTH IN AROUND 2000 MILES STARTED EXPERIENCING THE STEERING WHEEL STICKING AROUND THE 11:00 POSITION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I DRIVE 1500 TO 2000 MILES A MONTH AND AFRAID I AM GOING TO OVERCORRECT ESPECIALLY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. SPOKE WITH DEALERSHIP AND THEY DO NOT HAVE A SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM. HAD THE RECALL TAKEN CARE OF ON THE BATTERY CABLE AND THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE EITHER. FEELS LIKE A PROBLEM IN THE STEERING LINKAGE. I HAVE ALSO STARTED NOTICING WHICH FEELS LIKE THE TRUCK IS STARTING TO FLOAT SIDE TO SIDE AND AM HAVING TO CORRECT TO KEEP IT IN THE LANE. THIS TRUCK DOES NOT HAVE LANE ASSIST ON IT SO THAT COULD NOT BE THE PROBLEM.

ON THREE (3) DIFFERENT OCCASIONS BETWEEN FEBRUARY 25 AND APRIL 29, 2019 WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON AN OPEN HIGHWAY, TWICE ON THE INTERSTATE AND ONCE IN THE CITY, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO BOUNCE OUT OF CONTROL AND SHORTLY AFTERWARDS THE ALERT MESSAGE CAME ON THE SCREEN INDICATING THAT I SHOULD "SERVICE THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM IMMEDIATELY". THREE DIFFERENT TIMES I HAVE HAD TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO SUSPENSION PROBLEMS. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE JUST STARTED BOUNCING OUT OF CONTROL WHILE DRIVING AND SHORTLY AFTERWARDS THE ALERT WARNING MESSAGE CAME ON THE SCREEN INDICATING THAT I SHOULD "SERVICE THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM IMMEDIATELY". THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STAFF INDICATED "INSPECTED UNDER CARRIAGE AND FOUND A RUPTURED AIRBAG ON RIGHT REAR, NO PHYSICAL DAMAGE REPLACED RIGHT REAR AIRBAG ON SUSPENSION AND FILLED WITH NITROGEN. TEST DROVE TO VERIFY REPAIR". THE SECOND TIME THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STAFF INDICATED "SCANNED VEHICLE FOUND DTC C152-2A/C1562 INCORRECT OPERATION OF PUMP, RIGHT REAR SPRING IS BROKEN, DUE TO HEIGHT SENSOR FAILURE". THIS IS THE THIRD INCIDENT AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SINCE APRIL 29, 2019 (9 DAYS) FOR THE THIRD TIME WITH A SUSPENSION PROBLEM AND I HAVE NOT BEEN TOLD WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND WHEN I WILL GET MY TRUCK BACK.

STEERING STICKS WHEN TURNING LEFT ON CURVY ROADS AND THE TRUCK FEELS LIKE ITS STRADDLING A HUMP, THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS FROM 5 TO 40 MILES AN HOUR SO FAR. I JUST PICKED THE TRUCK UP BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALER, I WILL BE CONTACTING DEALER TO SEE IF I CAN GET SERVICE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, I LOOKED UP THIS PROBLEM ON THE WEB, AND FOUND A FEW OTHERS ON RAM FORUM .COM WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, AFTER SEVERAL VISITS TO THE DEALER THE DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING RACK WHICH SEEMED TO RESOLVE THERE PROBLEM. THE STEERING SEEMS TO STICK WHILE IN A SLIGHT LEFT TURN AND DOESN'T WANT TO RETURN TO CENTER, UNLESS I APPLY MORE PRESSURE TO TURN BACK TO STRAIGHT. ALSO THE TRUCK FEELS A LITTLE WOBBLY, AND LIKE ITS STRADDLING A HUMP IN THE ROAD, TURNS TO THE RIGHT ARE FINE IT HAS NO PROBLEM GOING RIGHT JUST LEFT.*DT CONSUMER STATE THE ANSWER TO DID IT TAKE FORCE TO RETURN THE WHEEL BACK TO CENTER IS NOT MUCH FORCE, MAYBE A POUND OR TWO OF FORCE. THE OTHER QUESTION ABOUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS OR BUZZERS IS NOTHING COMPLETELY SILENT. *JB

PURCHASED 2019 RAM 1500 AROUND 9/8/2018 ONE WEEK AFTER HAVING IT THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED STICKING ONLY WHEN TURNING TO THE LEFT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. SINCE THEN THE PROBLEM HAS GREATLY INCREASED. THIS DOES IT AS STATED ON SWEEPING TURNS ON THE INTERSTATE OR HIGHWAY SPEEDS ONLY. I HAVE TO JERK THE STEERING WHEEL BACK TO THE RIGHT IN A HARD MOTION TO GET THE TRUCK GOING BACK STRAIGHT AFTER THESE TURNS. THIS IS SCARY AND CAUSES THE TRUCK TO SWAY AT SUCH SPEEDS. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE STEERING HOWEVER THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE. IT IS CURRENTLY IN ITS 4TH TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 9 MONTHS WITHOUT BEING CORRECTED. IT IS TO THE POINT I HAVE PARKED THE TRUCK AS I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN DRIVING IT.
