2019 Ram 1500 complaints

WHEN REACH SPEEDS ABOVE 60 MPH OR WIND PRESENT, THE HOOD FLEXES INWARDS. IT CREATES A CONCAVING HIGH ON THE HOOD AND COVERS AN AREA OF 12-18 INCHES. THIS CAN'T BE GOOD FOR THE HOOD OR THE PAINT.

A NOTICEABLE HIGH PITCHED SOUND OF THE BRAKE BEING WORN DOWN WAS COMING FROM THE FRONT BRAKES. NEW BRAKE PADS WERE INSTALLED INCORRECTLY OR WERE MANUFACTURED INCORRECTLY. CAUSED FRONT BRAKE PADS TO WEAR DOWN UNDER 2000 MILES. DEALERSHIP INSTALLED NEW FRONT PADS HAD AND FILED THE ROUTERS. UNCLEAR AS TO WHY THIS HAPPENED.

CURRENTLY LIVE IN WA STATE. AT EVERY FUEL STATION-REGULAR FUEL THAT HAS AN EPA RUBBER BOOT AS PART OF THE FILLER NOZZLE WILL CONSTANTLY LOCK, STICK AND REMAIN IN THE CAPLESS FUEL HOLE. CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO "RIP" IT OUT OR CAUSING ME TO LOSE MY BALANCE BECAUSE SO MUCH FORCE IS REQUIRED TO RELEASE IT AND THEN IT JUST "POPS" OUT. STATIONARY. AT A GAS STATION. I CAN'T PICK ONE DATE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT HAPPENS AT EVERY FILL UP SO EVERY 2 WEEKS. *DSY

HAVING SAME PROBLEMS AS SEVERAL OTHER BUYERS.... I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND HAD IT BUILT IN DEC OF 2018. SINCE THEN, I HAVE EXPERIENCED 10 OR MORE INSTANCES OF WHERE I PUT THE VEHICLE IN D (DRIVE) AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE. I RETURNED TO P (PARK) AND THEN BACK TO D, AND IT STILL WON'T MOVE. I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON, AND THEN PROCEED TO PUT IT IN D, AND SOMETIMES IT WILL THEN MOVE. IN ALL CASES, I WAS ON FLAT PAVEMENT / BLACK TOP. I HAVE READ TRUCK FORUMS VIEWED YOUTUBE VIDEOS, AND SEVERAL OTHER FOLKS APPEAR TO BE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE.

THE WINDOW STICKERS SAID 19 MPG . REALLY I ONLY DO 11 ON MY TRICK

OCCASIONALLY, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED AND SHIFTED FROM PARK TO DRIVE, THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ENGAGE AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD. SHIFTING BACK TO PARK AND THEN DRIVE AGAIN DOES NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. IF THE GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE, THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY DROP INTO GEAR AND THE CAR WILL DANGEROUSLY SURGE FORWARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES SO FAR ON A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 500 MILES. THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING ISSUE WITH OTHER 2019 RAM 1500 OWNERS AS THERE ARE FORUM POSTS AND COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE ALREADY. I ALSO HAVE A VIDEO OF THE ISSUE OCCURRING.

WHEN THE TRUCK IS PUT INTO "D" DRIVE FROM PARK, IT WILL NOT MOVE. SOME TIMES IT WILL DO IT IN "R" REVERSE. IF YOU PUSH ON THE GAS PEDAL ENOUGH IT WILL LUNGE FORWARD ABRUPTLY. IN SOME CASES VERY ROUGH. DEALER AND FCA ARE ACTING LIKE THEY NO NOTHING ABOUT THIS.

POWER STEERING WENT OUT MULTIPLE TIMES. WOULD WORK AFTER RESTARTING TRUCK THEN GO OUT AGAIN. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THEN WENT BACK OUT AGAIN AFTER SERVICING. ALSO HAVE OTHER SERVICE MESSAGES FOR SUSPENSION AND LANE CONTROL. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME IN AFTER BEING SERVICED TWICE. TRUCK IS NOW IN THE SHOP FOR THE 4TH TIME WITH MORE ELECTRICAL ISSUES. IT THROWS NEW CODES EVERYTIME. LASTEST CODES: IMPLAUSIBLE DATA RECEIVED FROM TCM, CALIBRATION MISMATCH, IMPLAUSIBLE DATA RECEIVED FROM RF HUD AND FROM RADIO, BATTERY VOLTAGE CIRCUIT VOLTAGE BELOW THRESHOLD, IMPLAUSIBLE DATA RECEIVED FROM CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH, EDU NOT INITIALIZED, IMPLAUSIBLE/MISSING TRANSMISSION MESSAGE.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM A RAM DEALER ON JANUARY 2, 2019. SINCE THEN, I HAVE EXPERIENCED 3 INSTANCES OF WHERE I PUT THE VEHICLE IN D (DRIVE) AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE. I RETURNED TO P (PARK) AND THEN BACK TO D, AND IT STILL WON'T MOVE. I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON, AND THEN PROCEED TO PUT IT IN D, AND SOMETIMES IT WILL THEN MOVE. IN ALL CASES, I WAS ON FLAT PAVEMENT / BLACK TOP. I HAVE READ TRUCK FORUMS VIEWED YOUTUBE VIDEOS, AND SEVERAL OTHER FOLKS APPEAR TO BE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE.

VEHICLE GETS STUCK WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE AS IF ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE IS ENGAGED, THOUGH IT IS NOT. TAPPING THE GAS PEDAL THEN SENDS THE VEHICLE JOLTING FORWARD IN AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE MANNER.

THE BREAKING PART OF THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM FLASHES A WARNING TO BREAK IN AND ALARM GOES OFF TYPICALLY WHEN I AM CROSSING A BRIDGE. WHILE TRYING TO MERGE ON THE INTERSTATE, THE BRAKING SYSTEM APPLIED THE BRAKES UNEXPECTEDLY AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE INTERSTATE. THERE WERE NO OBSTACLES ARE CARS ANYWHERE AROUND THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND THERE WAS NOTHING TO AVOID WHEN THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY APPLIED THE BRAKES. A CYMA ALMOST REAR ENDED ME BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE DEALER AND THE VEHICLE HAS SPENT 4 DAYS IN THE SHOP WITH NO SOLUTION ARE NO APPARENT CAUSE.

POWER STEERING ON THE VEHICLE FAILED TO WORK WITH ONLY 1,000 MILES SINCE PURCHASED.

WHILE DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY APPROXIMATELY 20 MILE COMMUTE WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING AT A SPECIFIC AREA OF THE TURNS. DOES NOT HAPPEN WHILE MAKING RIGHT TURNS. THE LONGER YOU DRIVE THE MORE FREQUENT THE PROBLEM SHOWS UP. WHEN YOU FIRST START THE TRIP DOES NOT SHOW UP RIGHT AWAY TEN AFTER 18-20 MILES WILL START TO SHOW THE PROBLEM AT LOWER SPEEDS BETWEEN 35-40 MPH. DUE TO WHAT I CONSIDER AN UNSAFE CONDITION IN THE STEERING I PUT THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE OCCURS. THE SERVICE MANGER TOOK THE VEHICLE OUT FOR A TEST DRIVE FOR 20 MILES AND DID EXPERIENCE THE ISSUE WITH STEERING. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT FOUND ANYTHING AFTER 3 DAYS AND IS IN CONTACT WITH CHRYSLER.

BRAND NEW 2019 RAM 1500 490 MILES ,ABOUT 3 TIMES ( OWNED IT A MONTH) WHEN TRUCK IS SHIFTED FROM PARK TO DRIVE ,PARKING BRAKE IS OFF ( AUTO PARK BRAKE DISABLED AS WELL IN SETTINGS } THE TRUCK WILL NOT MOVE ,FOOT IS OFF BRAKE, FOOT OFF OF GAS ,IF I SHIFT INTO PARK THEN DRIVE AGAIN AND GIVE IT SOME GAS IT WILL ,LUNGE /JERK/JUMP IN FIRST GEAR AND FLY FORWARD LIKE A BRAKE STAND .SO I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE , FOUND NUMEROUS PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE ,SAME EXACT SYMTOMS AND RESULTS .SOMEONE SOON ,WILL BE KILLED BY THIS ,WHEN THEY GET OUT TO CHECK TO SEE IF THE TRUCK IS BLOCKED AND IT RUNS THEM OVER. SO FAR ALL THE PEOPLE IVE TALKED TO THE DEALERS HAVE NO FIX ,ITS A BAND NEW TRANSMISSION FOR 2019, THEY TURN PEOPLE AWAY ,WHEN THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM ,AND IT WON'T THROW A CODE. A TSB OR RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED !!!!!!! ASAP.

AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 10MIN IN TOWN (30-50MPHS) THE POWER STEERING WARNING WENT OFF AND POWER STEERING FAILED IN TRAFFIC FOR ABOUT 90 SEC BEFORE RETURNING.

I BOUGHT THIS NEW CAR IN DECEMBER 2018. THE THREE DAYS AFTER, I REALIZE THE CAR WAS MAKING DEEP LOUD HUMMING/RUMBLING NOISE "ZZZZZZ" SOUND WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT 10MPH-40MPH. IT GETS WORST LAST NIGHT, THE HUMMING SOUND CAME EVERY 15 SECONDS, AND LAST ABOUT 5 SECOND OR LONGER. THE SOUND WAS LIKE THE TIRES GOING TO FELL OFF THE CAR/A JET LEFT OR A MOTORCYCLE PASSES BY. I WENT TO THE DEALER 5 TIMES SINCE THIS PROBLEM APPEARS. THEY SAID THEY DID EVERYTHING THEY COULD, THEY GAVE ME 2 REPORTS, AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THIS PROBLEM, SO THEY REFUSE TO EXCHANGE OR RETURN THIS PROBLEM CAR. I FELT VERY VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE THIS CAR. THE DEALER TOLD ME "IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE NOTHING SHOWS ON THE PANEL, NO WARNING LIGHT." BUT I THINK BECAUSE OF NOTHING SHOWS ON THE PANEL IS THE SCARIEST PART. IT IS A NEW CAR. I WAS DRIVING ON THE NICE AND FLAT ROAD. I DIDN'T TURN THE RADIO OR AC ON. I TURN OFF THE INSIDE AIR CIRCULATION. I CLOSED ALL THE WINDOWS WITHOUT A GAP. EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL AND IT STARTS HUMMING. I HAVE DRIVE TRUCK/PK TRUCK FOR 35 YEARS, AND IT IS THE FIRST TIME OF MY LIFE HERD A CAR MAKING SUCH A NOISE. A CAR IS HAVING A PROBLEM AND SHOWS ANY WARNING LIGHT, EVEN A PROFESSIONAL CAN'T SOLVE? WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? IS THE TIRE GOING FELL OFF WHEN I'M DRIVING? IS THE CAR GOING TO CONSTANTLY STOP ON THE HIGHWAY? IS THE BREAK NOT GOING TO DO ITS WORK WITHOUT A WARNING? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS, AND WHO KNOWS WHAT THE ANSWER IS. I'M SO DONE WITH THIS CAR. I HAVE A LOT O

THE VEHICLE INITIALLY HAD A REPORTED STEERING FAILURE TWICE ON DECEMBER 19TH. THIS WAS REPORTED TO NHTSA UNDER FILE 1162423. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER THE SAME DAY. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHY THIS OCCURRED. THEN, AGAIN ON DECEMBER 30TH THIS OCCURRED AGAIN AT HIGHWAY SPEED, ALMOST CAUSING A COLLISION. IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE DEALER AGAIN AND THE DEALER WAS CONCERNED OVER SAFETY ISSUE AND OFFERED A RENTAL VEHICLE WHILE INSPECTING THE VEHICLE. ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER THIS MORNING, THE POWER STEERING TURN OFF AND AGAIN THE MESSAGE CENTER DISPLAYED IN RED " POWER STEERING UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED".. THIS WAS DISPLAYED ON THE PRIOR OCCASIONS.... WHILE DRIVING SLOWLY TO THE DEALER THIS LOSS OF STEERING OCCURRED ANOTHER 3 TIMES INTERMITTENTLY WITH ANOTHER WARNING "SERVICE AIR SUSPENSION IMMEDITALEY".... KEEP IN MIND THAT WHEN THE POWER STEERING LEAVES WITH ELECTRONIC STEERING VERY LITTLE CONTROL REMAINS. SINCE THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE DEALERS AND ALSO TO NHTSA NUMEROUS TIMES FROM VARIOUS GEOGRAPHIC AREAS SINCE AUGUST 2018 I AM SURPRISED THAT A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED AND OR A REMEDY THROUGH THE DEALERS.

STARTED TRUCK IN A PARKING LOT AND STARTED TO PULL AWAY, WENT TO TURN AND TRUCK WENT STRAIGHT TILL IT INDICATED TO 'SERVICE POWER STEERING.' ONCE I REALIZED IT HAD LOST ALL POWER STEERING I WAS ABLE TO LIMP IT HOME WITH MUCH EFFORT TO MAKE TURNS. TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT SO WAS ABLE TO USE MULTIPLE LANES TO MAKE TURNS. WHILE DRIVING HOME HOWEVER, ABOUT 65 MPH THE POWER STEERING CAME BACK ON PULLED THE TRUCK HARD TO THE RIGHT AND CENTERED BACK UP, THEN QUIT AGAIN AFTER THREE MILES.

THE CLUSTER SCREEN WENT OUT WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT JUST 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING OUR BRAND NEW TRUCK.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE I95, WHEN I GOT AN ALARM ON MY DASHBOARD SAYING MY POWER STEERING WAS UNAVAILABLE, AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING, I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND THEY CHECKED FOR LOOSE WIRES AND CHANGED THE PCM MODULE AND THE BATTERY SENSOR, MY TRUCK HAS BEEN THERE 3 TIMES AS THIS LAST FROM ANYWHERE FROM 10 SECONDS TO 10 MINUTES, AND HAS BEEN DOING THIS 6-10 TIMES A DAY

REPORTED THIS YESTERDAY AND UNABLE TO UPDATE IN THE SYSTEM. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO DEALER AFTER THE 2 FAILURES... UNABLE TO REPLICATE DEALER PROCESS A RECALL AND AN UPDATE. NOT CERTAIN IF THIS STEERING ISSUE IS RESOLVED. FILED UNDER COMPLAINT NUMBER 11162423 DATED 12/19/18 *DSY

TODAY AT 8:45 AM MY VEHICLE LOST ITS STEERING WHILE BACKING IN A PARKING LOT. THEN AGAIN WHILE ENTERING STATE ROUTE 12 IN CLAYTON, NY. THE STEERING RETURNED AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. THEN WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC THE STEERING AGAIN FAILED. I STOPPED AND PULLED VERY HARD AND THE VEHICLE SLOWLY TURNED ONTO THE NEXT ROAD ON MY RIGHT. I DROVE FOR SEVERAL MILES WITH THE STEERING RETURNING OCCASIONALLY. DODGE RAM DEALER WAS ABOUT 5 MINUTES AWAY AND SLOWLY ARRIVED AT DEALER. THEY ARE CHECKING IT NOW. THE VEHICLE IS A 2019 WITH SLIGHTLY OVER 9000 MILES. THIS EVENT WAS EXTREMELY VERY CLOSE TO SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

THE TRUCK HAS BEEN SELF ACCELERATING AND CAUSING ME TO SLAM ON BREAKS TO AVOID ACCIDENTS. IT WAS FIRST HAPPENING ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT WENT 50-70MPH BY ITSELF. THEN IT HAPPENED TODAY ON THE CITY STREET AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. IT WAS CLAIMED TO BE A SENSOR PROBLEM, BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY AND I BARELY MADE IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR HAS MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND THEN WILL SELF ACCELERATE AND ONLY ALLOW YOU TO BRAKE. SOMETIMES IT FLOORS IT FROM A STOP AND OTHER TIMES IT BARELY MOVES BUT SELF ACCELERATION SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING AND ITS A MAJOR CONCERN. *DT VIN IS NOT AVAILABLE *JB *DT*JB *BF CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE CONSIDERED FOR LEMON LAW AND DEALER AND CONSUMER WORKING ON GETTING A NEW VEHICLE.*JB

WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE THE UCONNECT SYSTEM WILL EITHER START OR WILL GO TO REBOOT MODE WHICH WILL NOT DISPLAY THE REAR BACK UP CAMERA SCREEN AND TURN OFF THE PARK SENSE BRAKING ASSIST FEATURES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING INADVERTENTLY LOST POWER FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THE POWER STEERING FAILURE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 RAM 1500. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A GARAGE, THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE AND IT INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED BACKWARDS. THE CONTACT ENTERED THE VEHICLE IN AN ATTEMPT TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT NOTED THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT DRIFT BACKWARDS, BUT INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED RAPIDLY BACKWARDS OUT OF THE GARAGE OF THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT WAS NEARLY SMASHED IN BETWEEN THE FRONT DRIVER'S DOOR AND A STONE PILLAR. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S DOOR AND THE FRONT FENDER WERE DAMAGED DUE TO BECOMING CAUGHT ON THE GARAGE PILLAR, WHICH BENT BACKWARD AND STRUCK THE FRONT FENDER OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO THE DRIVE POSITION AFTER THREE ATTEMPTS. THE CONTACT REFERENCED THE "SAFE-HOLD" SYSTEM, WHICH WAS A FEATURE OF THE ELECTRONIC PARK SYSTEM THAT FAILED TO AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGE THE VEHICLE TO THE PARK POSITION AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE. CARRIGHT CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FUSO (5408 UNIVERSITY BLVD, MOON, PENNSYLVANIA 15108, (412) 264-4270) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE.

TRUCK MAKE CLUNKING NOISE THROUGHOUT THE CHASSIS WHILE TURNING.

VEHICLE IN A LEFT HAND TURN OVER 30 MPH WILL NOT CORRECT ITSELF AND HAS TO BE MANUALLY CORRECTED OR THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TURNING LEFT. RAM ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM BUT NO SOLUTION AS OF THIS DATE DECEMBER 1, 2019. RAM RAPID RESPONSE TEAM STATED "IF CUSTOMER MAINTAINS CONTACT WITH THE STEERING WHEEL THEIR IS NO SAFETY ISSUE."

ON COMING DRIVERS COMPLAIN THE HEAD LIGHTS ARE TO BRIGHT. THEY ARE BLINDING TO ON COMING TRAFFIC.

WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS "COLD" (36 DEGREES AND BELOW) THE BACKUP CAMERA DOES NOT WORK. THE SCREEN DISPLAYS A COMPLETELY BLUE SCREEN WHEN THE BACKUP CAMERA ENGAGES (WHEN REVERSING, OR WHEN SELECTING THE BACKUP CAMERA VIEW INTENTIONALLY). THIS HAPPENS WHEN IN PARKED, WHEN IN REVERSE, AND WHILE DRIVING WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS 36 DEGREES OR BELOW. I DO NOT KNOW THE EXACT TEMPERATURE WHEN THE CAMERA STARTS/STOPS WORKING, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME AT LEAST 5 TIMES, AND ON THE DAYS I RECORDED IT THE TEMPERATURE WAS 36 DEGREES, AND 35 DEGREES. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS IN THE 40S OR HIGHER.

WHILE DRIVING IN DALLAS OVER THE WEEKEND, THE TRUCKS POWER STEERING BECAME UNAVAILABLE. HAPPENING AT SLOW SPEEDS THROUGH A RESIDENTIAL AREA. THE TRUCK WAS STOPPED, TURNED OFF THEN STARTED AGAIN AND IT CAME BACK. FOR A 6 MILE DRIVE, THIS IS HOW THE TRUCK ACTED. ONCE IT WAS LEFT PARKED FOR 3 HOURS, IT STARTED AND RAN FINE. THE FOLLOWING MORNING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 75 MILES PER HOUR, THE POWER STEERING BECAME UNAVAILABLE YET AGAIN. THIS LASTED FOR OVER 19 MILES, BUT FINALLY CAME BACK.

ON FIVE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. IN EACH CASE I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT AND MAKING A LEFT TURN. UPON STARTING UP AND TURNING, THE TRANSMISSION REMAINED IN FIRST GEAR, MOTOR REVVING 4,000 - 4,500 RPM OR SO, UNTIL I REALIZED I HAD A PROBLEM. I LIFTED MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND LET THE TRUCK SLOW DOWN, IT WAS STILL IN FIRST GEAR, ALMOST CAME TO A FULL STOP, TRIED TO SLOWLY ACCELERATE BUT STILL NO SHIFT. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO A FULL STOP, THEN SLOWLY ACCELERATED AGAIN, STILL NO SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. I AGAIN CAME TO A FULL STOP, THIS TIME PUT THE SELECTOR KNOB INTO PARK, THEN BACK INTO DRIVE MODE AND ACCELERATED AND THE TRANSMISSION WORKED FINE. AFTER THE FIRST FOUR EPISODES I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOOK THE TRUCK IN THE SAME DAY. FIRST THING THE SERVICE REP DID IS CHECK FOR A OBD CODE, NO CODE WAS GENERATED. DEALERSHIP HAD IT FOR FOUR DAYS AND COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. SINCE I'VE HAD THE TRUCK BACK ONE MORE EPISODE HAS OCCURRED. NOW I'M NOT SURE WHERE TO TURN. ALSO, ONE OTHER THING SHOULD MENTION EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENED IT WAS AT NIGHT. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT EACH EPISODE HAPPENED IN VERY LIGHT TRAFFIC, HAD IT BEEN IN A BUSY OR HEAVY TRAFFIC AREA IT COULD HAVE CREATED A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING ,THE VEHICLE ENGINE QUITS AND LOOSES ALL POWER. POWER STEERING IS LOST AND ALL POWER IS LOST. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE ON MY TRUCK THAT HAS LESS THAN 5,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN THE INCIDENT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP REPLACED A RELAY SWITCH. I BELIEVE THE ISSUE IS RELATED TO A FAULTY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AS I ALSO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE POWER MIRRORS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO BE DRIVING THIS TRUCK WITH MY CHILDREN AND FAMILY NOT KNOWING WHEN AND WHERE THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP. *DT*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED ABNORMALLY AND SMOKE EMITTED FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. IN ADDITION, FUEL LEAKED FROM THE TAIL PIPE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JOHN ELWAY'S CLAREMONT CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (LOCATED AT 620 AUTO CENTER DR, CLAREMONT, CA 91711, (909) 962-7462) WHERE IT REMAINED FOR APPROXIMATELY THREE WEEKS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE STARTER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90.

WHILE DRIVING SOMETIMES THERE IS A NOISE UNDERNEATH BY THE STEERING SUSPENSION AREA. FEELING LIKE IF SOMETHING LOOSE. MOST NOTABLE WHEN HITTING A HOLE, DITCH OR UNEVEN ROAD AS WHEEL TURNS. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER EVEN THOUGH THEY HEAR IT ALSO, ALL VEHICLES MAKE THE SAME NOISE.

WHILE DRIVING CORNERING LEFT OR RIGHT STEERING WHEEL HOLDS POSITION WHEN RELEASED WILL NOT STRAIGHTEN OUT YOU HAVE TO FIGHT STEERING TO STRAIGHTEN THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE TURN DEALER SAID NOTHING IS WRONG THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING BROWN'S CHRYSLER DODGE IN MEDFORD NEW YORK THIS HAPPENS AT ANY SPEEDS

WHILE DRIVING MY WORK TODAY I WAS TAKING A LEFT TURN AND MY POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. MY CAR HAD THE POWER STEERING LIGHT POP UP AND ALSO MY SCREEN IN MY GAUGE CLUSTERED SAID, "POWER STEERING UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED." I LITERALLY ALMOST CRASHED INTO A HUGE ELECTRICAL POLE. DUE TO MY STEERING WHILE BECOMING EXTREMELY STIFF. MY CURRENT MILAGE IS 2270.6 MILES. ABOUT A MINUTE LATER MY POWER STEERING CAME BACK AND MY TRUCK WAS FINE. WHILE PARKING MY TRUCK AT WORK IN THE PARKING LOT ABOUT 5 MIN. AFTER THE FIRST FAILURE MY POWER STEERING FAILED AGAIN BUT CAME BACK WITHIN SECONDS. ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK TONIGHT MY POWER STEERING FAILED AND DIDN'T COME BACK FOR ABOUT 8MINS/SEVERAL MILES. MY POWER STEERING CONTINUES TO FAIL THEN COME BACK TO NORMAL THEN FAIL AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND ON A CITY STREET. THIS OCCURS RANDOMLY WHILE TURNING AND OR GOING STRAIGHT.

I PURCHASED THE TRUCK ON 10/4/2019. ON 10/6/2019 WAS DELIVERED TO MY HOUSE. AFTER GOING OVER THE FEATURES THE SALES REPRESENTATIVE LEFT. I TRIED BACKING THE TRUCK OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY THE TRUCK WOULD NOT BACK UP BECAUSE OF THE BRAKE SENSOR SYSTEM. THE BUTTONS TO CONTROL THE FUNCTIONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT WORK AS WELL. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT SAME DAY. IT'S BEEN SITING THERE UNREPAIIRED. THE DEAL SHIP SAYS THEY ARE UNSURE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAVE OPENED A ' STAR CASE' WITH DODGE MANUFACTURE. I HAVE CALLED EVERYDAY ASKING FOR UPDATES THEY SAY THEY DON'T HAVE ANY NEWS OR UPDATES.

THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. IT MAY BE FOR A FEW SECONDS, OR A FEW MINUTES. I MAY GO A COUPLE OF DAYS WITHOUT A FAILURE, WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN, IT TENDS TO HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. IT HAS HAPPENED AT ALL SPEEDS ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS.

TEST DRIVE AT VEHICLE PURCHASE, AND EVERY DRIVE THEREAFTER. VEHICLE MAKES A CYCLIC HARMONIC NOISE/VIBRATION AT VARIOUS SPEEDS ON ALL SURFACES. NOISE IS SIMILAR TO A VERY LOUD SUB WOOFER BASS WITH VIBRATION THAT CAN BE FELT ON ALL HARD SURFACES. NOISE VARIES FROM SOFT TO VERY LOUD, AND CYCLES IN AND OUT, BUT NEVER STOPS. MY RESEARCH REVEALED AN ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLATION SYSTEM (ATMM) INSTALLED ON THIS MODEL, CONSISTING OF NOISE GENERATING MODULES FASTENED TO FRAME, DESIGNED TO OFFSET TRANSMISSION AND MDS NOISES. NOISE CAN BE INTENSE, AGGRAVATING AND VERY DISTRACTING. TWO DEALERS HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THE NOISE, BUT CANNOT REPAIR IT.

THIS TRUCK HAS HAD POWER STEERING SYSTEM CEASE TO FUNCTION 2 TIMES IN 3 WEEKS,ON OR ABOUT 9-1-18 WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON POWER STEERING WOULD NOT OPERATE,VEHICLE VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER,DEALERSHIP HAD TRUCK FOR 1 WEEK,SAID IT WAS FIXED.TODAY,9-22-2019 WHILE LEAVING HOME AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN,WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON POWER STEERING FAILED AND TRUCK WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER,WHILE TRYING TO MAKE IT TO DEALERSHIP,POWER STEERING WOULD COME BACK ON AND GO RIGHT BACK OFF MAKING CURVES AND TURNS VERY DIFFICULT.

A WEEK AFTER BUYING THE CAR I NOTICED WATER UNDER THE CARPET IN THE BACK SEAT AREA , I THOUGHT I SPILLED SOMTHING SO I JUST DRIED IT AND REMOVED THE CARPET FOR 2 DAYS ...THEN SUDDENLY FEW DAYS LATER I FEEL LIKE I CAN HEAR THE OUTSIDE STREET MORE THEN NORMAL AND ALSO I COULD HEAR THE BACK WINDOW SHAKING EVERYTIME THE CAR IS GOING OVER A HUMP. THEN AFTER FEW DAYS ON A VERY RAINY DAY , I SEE WATER DRIPPING FROM THE TOP OF MY BACK WINDOW .NOW BY LOOKING AT BACK WINDOW AND TOUCJING IT IT FEEL LOOSE !! SO I DROPPED IT ON A DAY THAT THE LEAK GUY WORKING AT THE LOCAL DEALER JUST TO TELL ME THAT ITS ALL FIXED ...WHEN I TOLD THEM YOU SURE ?? MY ALL WINDOW IS LOOSE THEN SERVICE OPORATION MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THE BACK WINDOW IS DIFECTED AND MUST BE REPLACED . THIS WAS ON JULY 26 2018 ....NOW ITS SEP.5 AND IM STILL DONT HAVE THE CAR...IVE BEEN DRIVING A LOANER FOR ALL THIS TIME

THE STEERING WENT OUT DUE TO A PCM FAILURE. THE DEALER SAID THAT THE PCM SHUT DOWN THE STEERING DUE TO SENSING TOO MUCH VOLTAGE FROM GENERATOR TO PROTECT THIS UNIT. I WAS TRAVELING ON US HIGHWAY 400 AT 50MPH WHEN IT WOULD NOT STEER LEFT OR RIGHT. IT WOULD ONLY GO STRAIGHT. I FEEL THAT RAM NEEDS TO PUT SOMETHING ELSE IN LINE SO THAT STEERING IS NOT SHUT OFF IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN.

REAR BRAKE NOISE STARTED AT 3000 MILES. HAD TRUCK SERVICED AT 10K MILES AND NOISE CONTINUED.

LOUD SQUEALING DURING LIGHT BRAKING.
