I was in a head on collision with a chevy car. This was the other drivers fault as he come into my lane (while taking an illegal left). The car is totaled and my ram 1500 had close to $14,000 in damages. It is still in the auto body getting repaired. Both the frames are bent. During this accident, none of my airbags were deployed and this shocked me. My body moved back and forth violently due to the collision and absolutely not one airbag was deployed. I strongly believe the airbag system installed in my truck is faulty or designed incorrectly and nhtsa must investigate. Going forward, i do not feel safe in this vehicle as i am not confident that the airbags will be deployed. I've attached few pictures of the damage. We had to pull the entire front bumper from the front left tire almost 12 inches as it was deeply wedged into the tire and we could not move the vehicle for towing. Please help.thank you[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *cc

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.
The first issue was the airbag light came on when starting and stayed on since and the app said airbag may not deploy. The dealer said in mar it was safe to drive. In april the truck while engaging the cruise would speed up above cruise set or just turn off without breaking. Now no cruise at all and i am disabled so it would be nice to have that feature for long drives.i called again they said i was welcome to call hq. Now not even a month later i have no horn while driving and needed it. This is the last straw.how is this safe with no airbags or a working horn?
On 11/20/20 my ram truck was hit on the right front corner and totaled. We were at a stop light and just started tocomplete a left hand turn on a city street when the other driver ran a red light, he was issued a citation for running a red light,and was "probably" speeding. We were in a 35mph zone. The air bags failed to deploy. I contacted chrysler and this is part of their conclusion. "the conclusion of the investigation is that the rate of deceleration necessary to activate the air bag system was not present during this accident. A information regarding the air bag system may be found in your owner's manual. For additional facts, you may also want to visit nhtsa website: https://www.nhtsa.gov/equipment/air-bags. In other words any time you are hit and don't have advance warning where you can take your foot off the accelerator the air bags will not deploy because you can't decelerate. If you don't see the accident about to happen, why would you take your foot off the accelerator and slow down??. This conclusion makes no sense and looks to be an easy out to try and avoid any perceived problem with their air bag deployment system.thank you*dt*dt*dt
I was in a major motor vehicle accident in where i fell asleep behind the wheel. As a result i swerved right, collided with 20-30 ft of guard rail and rolled at least 2 times. I don't remember a thing since i received a major concussion from slamming my head into the steering wheel at impact. Had my airbags worked, i wouldn't have a massive scar on my forehead, i would be able to defend myself in court because i may have memory of the accident. Neither front airbag deployed, the rest of the truck airbags deployed, including the rear passenger airbag
Rear window frame is cracked and leaking water into the cab as well as where the rear airbag wiring. This was noticed in a stationary position.

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.
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.
The instrument cluster went black. The parking sensors data does not display. The mileage does not display. The temperature and oil pressure do not display.
This incident has become more prevalent.it began about two months ago as what i thought was something stuck in the grooves of the tires.but as it began to occur more and more regularly i felt it was time to try and get some help with the problem.while in motion, when i remove my foot from the gas pedal and it is not pressed and truck begins decelerating, at approximately 45 to 50 miles per hour a drone/hum will begin within the cab of the truck.if i do not press the gas pedal or roll down windows the drone/hum will get louder and more pronounced.if it is not eliminated, the drone/hum will increase in decibels and actually become physically felt within the truck.since the sound almost seems to resonate from the speakers, i have tried unplugging the anc (active noise cancellation) device under the driver's seat.while this does stop the radio speakers from playing any music, it does also seem to prevent the drone/hum from occurring.the truck was purchased in early june of 2019 and currently has about 12,500 miles on it.there has been no customization or alteration of anything on the vehicle.
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 is mine has the smaller screen in the video. It is an ongoing issue with a start date about 2 months after i purchased the vehicle and after the dealer "flashed" the programming due to a recall.
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.
While backing up to a trailer to hitch to it i was using the reverse camera in the stereo and i heard a pop and the stereo shut off along with the screen for the camera. This is the second time that this has happened with this stereo.i just had the stereo replaced in april for the same issue and i was told that it was a programming issue with the system.will be contacting the dealer to have this stereo checked out again.
Steering- popping/ grinding noise when turning to the right. Slow turns in town and turns on highway ramps. Have taken truck to dealership with no resolution twice.electrical- backup camera stays on after putting vehicle indrive. Computer-radio-phone resets itself every couple of weeks since i bought the truck with no fix.
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 contact owned a 2019 ram 1500. The contact stated while driving about 70 mph on cruise control, there was a strong burning odor and discovered through the rearview mirror that there was black smoke coming from the vehicle. The contact stated he pulled the vehicle over and got out the vehicle. The smoke was coming from the hood and the fire was visible under the vehicle. The police came to the scene and a police report was filed. The fire department came on the scene and extinguished the fire. The vehicle was towed to towing lot where then the insurance company towed the vehicle to an unknown location and deemed it destroyed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. However, no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000.
While back out my garage, all the service engine lights came on and started flashing and the dash started displaying service traction, service electrical, service shifter. Auto park disabled. The wipers would come on automatically when in the off position. Service air bag system. Electronic throttle control and there was more. The lights on the dash started flashing and continued to flash even when vehicle was turned off. I disconnected wires from battery terminal to kill power so the lights would stay off. Power doors would lock or unlock
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.
The dash lights go out and this makes the instrument panel very hard to see, even when backing the camera also goes dark,this happens when the vehicle is in motion and when not in motion.the cruise control does not always engage when the cruise is on.this happens while driving the vehicle.obviously the back up camera when backing. In motion.this is not a one time thing it happens off and on when in the vehicle.i do not have any pictures as i am usually driving when it happens.
March 5 2021 car stopped working ,would not turnover and all the warn ing lights were on.was ntowed to dealer and at first i was told they could not figure what was the problem then figured it was the tipm module needed to be replaced .one month later 2 more electrical problems .one is the cooling louvre system needs replacemet an d a more serious problem was happening with starter meltdown that could have caused a fire.researching these issues i probably will be having more electrial problems.first issue cost 1000$ and parts on 2nd and third issues are over 900$so repair will probably @ over 2000$.something is really wrong with these trucks or i have a lemon!!
12' screen goes black.i frequently and randomly. Sometimes turning ignition off reset the screen, sometimes it does not.them a few minutes or hour later the screen turns on. I am able to adjust some of the heat and fan settings with the screen black. Any other controls of vehicle functions or selections are 'inop.'this condition occurs when the vehicle is stationary, at start-up. The condition has occurred 3 time when in motion on any street or highway (speed)
Vehicle warning display on the speedometer isn't working. It's a 2019 ram with 45k miles. It goes blank or won't come on. Without this display working properly, driver cannot see any warning such as, door open, tire pressure or any important warnings. The vehicle is drivable but the warning dash on the speedometer doesn't work.
The truck has been intermittently experiencing loss of power steering. This situation has been happening after i stop the truck. Has happened 2 times now. Makes it extremely dangerous to drive and or maneuver to get to a safety spot. Also when this happens, it loses lane, departure adaptive cruise control, assisted braking & most electronic safety features.
While driving down a curvy rural road, my vehicle lost all throttle control. I almost wrecked and had to stop at the "exit" of a blind 55mph corner. The vehicle had multiple check engine lights on including a electromic throttle control failure light, park brake failure light, trailer brake failure light (no trailer connected at the time), and a generic check engine light.
The rear center brake light apparently leaks into the cabin. This is a common 1500 2019 problem. It leaks into the ceiling surrounding air bags and other electronics. How is this not already recalled? it leaks constantly so how can one tell when it occurs?
2019 ram laramie gear selector will show drive and not move until the rpm is @ 2000 and then slam into gear. This was after backing into a parking spot and then immediately going into drive to reposition the truck. This has happened twice. Once an hour after purchase and once the next day. I bought this vehicle 3 days ago,3/29/19.
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.
While driving multiple dashboard warnings appeared and the power steering abruptly failed.brought into dealer for diagnosis and repair.i was informed by the dealer the problems were corrected, these issues were apparently cased by bad ground connections, as per dealer.four days later i again had the same problems.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer (tri-star motors 2 superior way, uniontown, pa 15401) where the technician was unable to duplicate the issue. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and had someone inspect the vehicle but the failure was unable to be determined. The failure mileage approximately 150.
When vehicle shifts to reverse the side mirrors tilt down to show parking lines. When the vehicle returns to drive, the mirrors tilt up back to the factory reset position rather than the position previously set by the vehicle operator. The driver may not notice the mirrors are misplaced until they are on the road. This is a safety issue. The driver has can reasonably expect the mirrors to return to the previous position. All other cars with backup mirror tilt return to pre-set position. I have contacted ram and they claim this is the intended function of the mirror / electronics. My local dealer confirmed that ram says this is correct function and that the safe return of mirrors to pre-set position is only available with a higher luxury trim option.
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.
I purchased my truck new in nov 2019. Since then i have had four different occasions where my truck has stalled while driving at low speed or while shifting from drive to reverse. Two of the occasions i was pulling away from a stop and the truck stalled and i was stuck in the middle of the intersection until i put the truck in park and restarted. Luckily there was no cross traffic so there was no danger in this situation but it could have been much worse. The last occasion happened a couple weeks ago when i was moving my truck in my driveway. I shifted to drive and pulled forward then put my truck in reverse. As i put my truck in reverse it immediately stalled. I put it in park and was able to immediatelyrestart it. However, it did have a check engine light on. The next morning i was going to take the truck to the dealer to have the light checked but it had cleared itself and there are no codes stored so the dealer can't do anything.
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.
Stereo can be turned on without the key fob or pressing the ignition button causing the battery to drain dead
The car is off and the radio turns on by itself.while the car is in motion the airconditioner works occasionally (not very often) and when the ac goes out the power windows go out as well. The warning sensors on side do not work either.
In october 2019, the uconnect system in my 2019 ram 1500 began to malfunction.it started with gps coordinates being misaligned to my current location, but quickly progressed to malfunctioning in all aspects of the system.on december 30, 2019, the entire system failed, rendering a black screen and no ability to control the critical functions in the vehicle (maintenance, lighting, climate, or safety cameras).without the uconnect system, it is impossible to modify any of the setting for the vehicle.
When i was driving my truck to slow down the vehicle was completely turned off and it is the second time it happens, to take it to the dealer comes a low-voltage code in the battery that they tell me is when you do not drive for a good time , but this is my vehicle of daily use. City street
Rear window frame is cracked and leaking water into the cab as well as where the rear airbag wiring. This was noticed in a stationary position.
I started my 2019 ram 1500 in a parking lot and shifted to drive, i started to slowly move forward when i heard a engine revving a couple times then accelerate. I stopped looked around and saw no vehicles in my proximity (open shipping dock). Then i realized the sounds were coming from the inside of my vehicle. I started to move again and the noises persisted. I thought it would go away so i progressed onto a public street from the shipping dock parking lot and the noises continued. I was forced to pull to the edge of the road and cycle the ignition. It took two cycles of the ignition to make the issue cease. The second issue was a electric throttle control failure that resulted in my vehicle having zero throttle response and resulted in the vehicle getting towed to the servicing dealer. I live in a rural area with a lot of 55mph curvy roads and this throttle failure resulted in a disabled vehicle that could have easily been hit by surrounding traffic.
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.
My leftrear led turn signal. Warning light on my dash came on. I investigated the problem and thought i would try to repair the tail light. I couldn't fix it due to too much electronics involved so i re assembled the tail light and made an appointment to see my dealer. I took the truck in and was told the warranty was voided because i took it apart to see if i could repair the light. They would not replace it. The reason i am writing is that the taillight failed. Why? it was never investigated, only told me i was not allowed to be repaired under warranty. I would have to pay. However if the light failed on my truck, why? did it fail because of other things wrong., is it a safety issue i say yes. Please let me know what you think or advise. The tail light is brand new and i think an investigation into tail light failure as to why mine failed? thank you[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Water (rain,car wash, etc) is leaking through the rear power sliding window and into the vehicle and damaging the interior (headliner, seats). This is a known issue by ram/fca and they have not recalled them yet. This can be a safety issue when driving. I'm also concerned that if water sits inside of the liner can it cause mold to form? also can it short out any electrical to the window?when i noticed it happen to me the vehicle was parked.
Back up camera has gone out. Repeatedly while in reverse; also auxiliary and charger stop working
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.
2019 ram 1500 instrument cluster display going blank, starting out going blank when parking outside in heat and humidityit would come back when truck cools down inside. August 19 2020 i took it to the dealer to check it out. They said instrument cluster needed replaced and order one. They told me it would take three weeks to get. Call dealer sept 12 and they have no ideal when they will get it. I have been driving since august 19 with no instrument cluster it has not work at all. See this as safety hazard.can not see alarms, mileage, oil pressure, water temp, or any alarms, had alarm yesterday for about thirty minutes while driving. Took about 20 minutes to figure it out was a sensor.
The information system in the instrument panel does not work or works intermittently. I took it to the dealer and they said it would be a $1400.00 repair but the system started working again when the mechanic brought the truck around for me to leave.it has worked off and on since then. It's a very expensive repair and no guarantee it will not fail again.there seems to be no pattern of when the information system will quit.
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.
Touchscreen controls for radio, climate, and all other controls do not work properly. Any and all elements of touchscreen will power on and off from ac to heat to radio stations to random phone dialing. Also the vehicle will shut down while driving as if the gear shifter has been placed in neutral. Truck will not accelerate and remote start doesn't work either. Left rear passenger window seal near bed of truck also leaks water when it rains.
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.
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.

Took it to the dealership yesterday and of course camera was working fine.today it hasn't worked all day. The
After a 350 mile trip i parked the truck in the driveway the next day it was dead. This has happened 3 separate times. The dealer has had it for two weeks this time, 5 days the first time and 5 days the second time. Ram is doing nothing to solve the issue. Please help.
The contact owns a 2019 ram 1500. After the vehicle had been parked for a while, it was unable to restart. The contact stated that after several attempts the vehicle was started, but it independently switched back from drive into park. The vehicle was towed to lithia chrysler jeep dodge of twin falls (1310 pole line rd e, twin falls, id 83301, (208) 293-8571) to be diagnosed, but the mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code or provide a prognosis for the vehicle. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 110. The vin was invalid.
Truck has 442 miles on it, check engine light came on began flashing. Engine malfunction light indicator illuminated. Sluggish on acceleration, blows heat regardless of temperature setting. All while in motion.
Uconnect system resets its self every few minutes.it has happened several time during back up which renders the back up cams inoperable.
Leak in ceiling head liner wet and discoloringradio screen died twice. Has shifting problem from 1st to second sometimes want my old truck back please
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
Uconnect 8.4c radio screen continually resets and or stays blank. Multiple trips to dealer and even screen replacement with no avail. Safety concern, very distracting and no back up camera use sometimes. Occurs primarily in motion, very randomly.
Vehicle fails to start without any notice or apparent indications of a potential issue.i had someone use a code reader and got the following code p1df3... I checked ram forums and this is a common malfunction. Without warning something drains the battery. No one knows what will fix it yet.
2019 ram classic big horn. It's been quite a journey with this truck. First, about a month after i bought it (feb 19) i noticed the bed was a couple of inches to the left of the cab. Turns out, it was the cab needing adjustment not the bed. Drove it for a year fine. 2 months ago i attempted to start and it was dead. The interior lights would work but it would not start'not even try to turn over. I disconnected the neg battery post and waited a few minutes, hooked it up and it started. Drove it for a couple days then, backing out of my garage it died'while moving it just died. It was on the way to the dealer for some warrenty paint repair so i figured i'd disconnect the battery again and drive it over. When i opened the door the alarm went off. Nothing i could do to turn it off. Could not turn the key to off and could not get the key out of the ignition. Pushing the buttons had no effect. Disconnecting the battery silenced the alarm. Had it towed to the dealer. They tried for two weeks to fix it. They changed the ignition module, and it didn't' work. They reprogramed the keys and it didn't work. They reprogramed 1 another new, different key and it didn't work. They programmed two new different keys and said that fixed it (makes no sense why the second key would help). It also doesn't make sense how the key fob malfunction would cause the vehicle to die when it's running. Picked up the truck and drove 200 miles. Then the next day it died while driving straight at 30 mph, in the middle of an intersection.they clearly don't know what's going on with this thing and won't pay to tow it back to their shop. They want me to send it to a local small town dealer, 4 hours from home. I can barely get them to return my calls. The service rep says all they can do is have it towed to the closest dealer.
Cars steering sticks to the left when turning left. Also, electrical system acts up at times. Mirrors start to tint, hazards go on and can't turn off, horn beeps randomly, and side vehicle alert comes on when no vehicle is there.
Driving truck and check engine / warning light came on stating that stop / start system unavailable service needed. Contacted dealer and took in for service. By the time i took it back to the dealer the system reset and warning was no longer in system logs. Dealer stated that since warning was not active in system they could not check message and therefore could not repair. Same issue occurred 2 weeks later and resolved itself again.i am now driving truck with out using the start / stop system.

For the second time in 3 months, while i was driving down the highway all my dash lights just came on and my truck started to accelerate on its own even with both feet off both pedals. Traction light, abs light, parking light, throttle sensor light, and check engine light all stay on. (have picture and video) passenger side headlight also stopped working. Took to ram dealership october i believe and they said pcm needed an update and they did that. Also replaced whole passenger headlight housing. Well yesterday december 15th same thing happened and i almost got into a wreck. Lights came on so i went to brake and pull over, nothing happened. Truck actually accelerated on its own from 40mph to 60mph. Took to dealership first thing this morning and they said they have no record of fixing any of these issues... Wanted me to leave my truck for an unknown amount of time and but they couldn't get me a loaner or anything to get me to work. Said there was nothing they can do until i have time to leave it, pretty [xxx] so now im driving an unsafe truck on the highway to and from work. Kids and wife also drive/ride in this truck. (it wont let me upload the video)information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Truck was in motion on a city street at 40mph.approached a stop light and the warning lights on the dashboard started going off (all of them).the windshield wipers went on and off by themselves, blinks didn't work, hazards didn't work, the rpm and mph gauges kept going up and down.the brakes didn't work so i had to use the emergency brake to stop.pulled into a parking lot, shut the vehicle off, waited 5 minutes and started it up again.same thing happened.shut the vehicle off and waited 10 minutes, started it back up and this time only the check engine light came on.i made it home 2 miles down the road.the first business day available, the dealer came and picked up the truck.it has been with the dealership for the week.the called the other day and said something is wrong, they are unable to start the vehicle up now.they are waiting for an engineer to review it from the manufacturer.
I was driving on i-65 in indianapolis, in traffic, when my engine abruptly shut off and the ignition mode switched from run to acc. This caused me to lose all propulsion power and i was forced to cross lanes to get over to the right shoulder. Luckily, i was still a mile or two from the upcoming construction zone, which would have prevented me from being able to pull off onto a shoulder. Because the engine had shut off while the truck was moving, the computer system is programmed to shift the transmission into park, but because i was going 70mph on the highway (>5mph according to my user manual), it just alerted me that my engine was off and that i was in acc mode. After parking the truck on the shoulder with hazards on, i turned the engine off and waited a few seconds before trying to start it again. When i pressed the brake and the ignition button, the truck started up immediately, like normal, but then 2 seconds later it cut out again with the same run-to-acc mode switch. This happened 6-7 more times before the truck somehow stayed on run. I checked the engine and my fluids for anything odd, but mechanically, the truck was fine. No check engine or warning lights ever came on. The computer system didn't recognize that anything was wrong other than the initial indication. I was able to get home without issues after that, but when i went to turn the engine off, i couldn't. The ignition button had stopped responding. I tried all of the user manual's methods to turn it off, but nothing worked. This vehicle doesn't have a manual key ignition override, just the fob and keyless button, neither of which could turn the engine off. The fob's remote start/shutoff didn't work either. In the end, i had to disconnect the battery to force the engine and computer system to turn off. I'm taking it into the local dealer, via tow if it won't start again, to figure out what happened.
After remote starting the car for a few minutes, i got in the truck and hit the start/stop button and reversed out of my driveway. As i backed out on to the street, the engine shut off and the car shifted itself back to park. I started it again and after a couple of seconds, the car turned itself off again. This happened about 10 times. Finally it stayed on and i drove 6 miles to work. When i got to work, i hit the start/stop button to turn it off and it would not turn off. After a couple of minutes, the car turned off by itself. I started it again and it turned off after a couple seconds. After a couple more times it finally it stayed on for longer than a few seconds but would not turn off with the start stop button. I had it towed to the dealership.
The instrument cluster went black. The parking sensors data does not display. The mileage does not display. The temperature and oil pressure do not display.
2019 ram with 12" screen developed electrical issues with 5100 miles. The screen and other electrical items will work fine in the accessory mode but as soon as you start the vehicle the screen goes black and a lot of electrical issues begin. The defroster goes on high, the seat does not automatically go forward, the front windows do not work and the blind spot sensor will not work. With screen out you have no backup camera and losing the blind spot also causes serious risk of an accident. First dealer the truck was taken to could not solve the problem. I have an appointment with another dealer and hope that they can resolve these issues. I noticed online they have a problem with the unconnect and sirius radio but i don't know if this is associated with my problem.
1) engine shut off while driving 70 miles per hour2) nob shifter set on drive but does not drive until it feels like so, may take a minute or two and vehicle lunches3)keys do not open, lock, or turn vehicle on4) back up sensor's go off and vehicle auto brakes with nothing behind or in front of it5) rear camera will turn on and will never shut off even after 2 hours of driving on the freeway6) tire pressure sensor not working, all four
During slowing down to a stop the transmission downshifts usually from 2 gear to 1st gear and surges forward. Many times during this surge the transmission goes into neutral and the screen instructs me to shift into park and then back in to drive. It makes it dangerous if there is traffic behind me. The truck often surges when stopping and pops out of gear at once a month. Dealership said they addressed by updating drive train software. Since repair it has happened again and i took to another dealer and they state they can't replicate or know how to fix it.
Instrument cluster fails to come on randomly. Begin driving with the cluster not working, sometimes it will finally come on with no notice or turn off without warning
While driving (in motion in the city) car randomly put itself in neutral the drive light blink and error message on dash board stating put the car in park and back into drive. While stopped car and foot on brake randomly the engine revs and lunges forward.
The contact owns a 2019 ram 1500. The contact stated that the instrument cluster failed intermittently. The contact was unable to view the tire pressure, the oil pressure, the cooling temperature information. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be inspected. The mechanic inspected some unknown wires, cleaned the wires but, was unable to locate the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and the contact was informed that the warranty had expired. The approximate failure mileage was 29,900. *dt
The instrument cluster goes black, unable to see anything or scroll through tire pressure, fluid temperatures, speed, odometer, fuel economy, etc.it works intermittently, very distracting to drive when the screen flashes or appears to be trying to reboot.have been to dealer without successful fix by resetting to factory standards.
The cluster screen went out while stopped at a stop light just 2 months after purchasing our brand new truck.
Rear window seal has cracks.rear window/3rd brake light leaks water into the cab.mirrors fold but when unfolding they pop and keep trying to open even though they are all the way out already.these all happened without incident.
I was drivingon i94 eastbound highway, ipressed the brake pedal to slow down for traffic then accelerated and the truck accelerated at full downpower. I lifted my foot off the accelerator, but the pedal stayed on the floor and the truck kept accelerating. I got up to 105mph in no time at all, then pressing on the brakes as hard as i possibly could so i didn't hit the vehicles in front of me. This slowed me down to about 60mph slowing the truck down enough to move from the far left lane to the far right shoulder, with the truck still at 5k plus rpms, i then was able to put the truck in neutral using the shifter knob. The vehicle then displayed the electronic throttle control warning light on the dashboard. During this whole time the accelerator was on the floor and the truck was trying to out power the brakes. I then powered off the vehicle entirely. I was then attempting to restart the vehicle to get myself off the unsafe shoulder of the highway and the throttle was still stuck to the floor and was ticking with error codes reading on the dashboard. I then turned the key back to the off position and had to wait over a minute in order for the truck to start so i could get off of the unsafe shoulder. This is a huge concern and i have stock floor mats in my vehicle. Component that failed was the electronic throttle control system. Took to chrysler dealer stated nothing wrong with vehicle. I have video proof!*dt
Driving my truck in the city at the time of stopping the computer as it disconnects the change and asks me to put it back on the p and then select my gear again, and that already apasado twice as well.
My instrument cluster is not working. The truck is a 2019 dodge ram. It goes in and out. Can't see the mileage or anything else.
Ac is not working and the gps/radio blinking on and off with a error message
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.
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 dust. The vehicle had only 2,000 or so miles on it at the time. I believe my truck only has about 3,200 miles on it right now, but i cannot really tell because i cant' see the odometer. I have read various complaints on this site regarding this model and many of them apply to me as well.
Since purchase my 2019 ram truck has lots of issues with the 12 inch screen. It controls everything on the truck. The screen goes blank all the time and you are not able to control any thing on the truck , steps , air condition, heatetc....when the screen acts up the auto retractable running boards stay out until around 15 mph.also the ac and heat will automatically come on and you cant shut if off, no controls will work.i have 27 videos of my truck not working right and all dealer says is sorry we cant duplicate. The steering is also always off.the steering wheel gets off to the leftthen goes off to the right.dealer states it takes 500 miles for it to auto align it self to re learn center.

While driving,usually slowing from highway speed,all safety lights turn on on the dash board (cross traffic,anti collision,rear parking,ignition,stabilitrak,check engine).also vehicle loses power and you can not accelerate.engine runs on (assuming) 4 cylinders as it starts shaking like itā€™s misfiring.after you pull over and restart the engine all lights clear except check engine.vehicle than runs normal.check engine has cleared twice on me.once after about 30 and second time after about 50 miles.in both instances i was away from home and had to drive back.the other few times was only a few miles away from dealer.vehicle is currently at the dealer (7th time) with 35775 miles.multiple tickets have been opened with fca.in my own research i have found online forums with identical issues.the dealer is at the liss.their techs canā€™t figure it out.they have replaced multiple parts but the issue remains. Note:your system allows me to select three issues at the start of this form but i have three more under adas category that i was unable to select.
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.
I would have selected other issues above but it only allows three. Driving with family on vacation when all electrical on dash starting going crazy. Every light on dash was flashing, gauges were bouncing all over, hazards wouldn't turn on, loss of power steering, loss of brakes, wipers sped up, transmission trying to shift gears, airbag lights were on, transmission slammed in to park once vehicle was under 5 mph, and shut itself off. Had to have vehicle towed to york chrysler in crawfordsville, in. This was on thursday july 30. I had taken vehicle to bosak motors in merrillville, in on friday july 24 due to same issue and was told they couldn't find the issue. I managed to videotape the issue while it was happening. I also looked online and found a couple videos of other ram 1500 doing the same thing.
The main head unit lost sound and i have done some research and there have been multiple people with the same issue i have restarted my truck multiple times with no luck the sound was working just the night before i was at a stand still originally then started driving on a city road. There have been multiple complaints on forums for the 2019 doing that and hopefully they can figure out a solution to fix it a lot of people have said to unplug fuses but i shouldn't have to i spend the money on a truck at astronomical rate and expect it to work.
While driving slowing down to make a left turn turn completely turned off. While still in drive was able to get to the side off the road everything was still on a.c. Shut off but power was still on.
Power steering failure at 17000 miles while stationary. I took it to the dealership and they said they could only recreate it once and were unable to fix it. After 2 weeks, they had me pick it up. 3 days later, it happened again while i was backing out of the gas station.
Complete dashboard and guidance screen went black. Shut vehicle off restarted came back on. Happened again week later came back on by self. Happens on once in a while. Dealer changed radio still happens. Vibration in drive line dealer said it was road force on my tires said i need to replace my tires. I replaced all tires still have vibration.
This 2019 ram 1500 has serious problems.it should not be allowed to be driven on the road ever again.i would fear for my own life along with other people on the road.while driving my 2019 ram electronics through out the vehicle began to fail.this was while driving 70 mph on the freeway.power steering, shifter gear, electronic stability control, airbags, 4wd system, traction control system, abs system,auto brake system all failed at once.no headlights no brake lights and no turn signals.the dashboard even shut off.this is a serious nightmare and a danger to everyone.this is the second time this has happened with my vehicle and only was driven 20 miles after is was supposedly fixed.they replaced the ecm.i believe that if a less experienced driver was driving the vehicle it for sure would have ended up in a accident.at this time chrysler and snethkamp cdjr cannot figure out what the exactissue is to repair the vehicle
The check engine light has been on several times. I've dropped my truck off at crown dodge of fayetteville and was told on two separate occasions that's everything was taken care of. Today 1 november 2020, i've purchased a brand new $200 duralast platinum battery and it's still being drained by some unknown issue. I received some help outside of the dealership and received the error code p1dr3. I told told that was a dealership code and i would have to return the vehicle to get it resolved. This will be the third time in a months time i would have to be without my vehicle. The first time this is happened i was driving 40-45 mph and the truck completely shut off!
The contact owns a 2019 ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 30 mph at night, the instrument panel was reflecting on the front driver's side window making it difficult to see the roadway clearly. The vehicle was taken to local dealer tate service center located at 7139 ritchie hwy, glen burnie, md 21061, (410) 443-0859 and the dealer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle had not been repaired as of yet. The manufacturer had been informed of failure. The failure mileage was approximately 2,000. *ln
The contact owned a 2019 ram 1500. The contact stated that while inside of her residence the vehicle was parked in the driveway when without warning the vehicle independently engulfed with flames. The fire department was contacted and came out to the resident and extinguished the flames. A police report was filed. The vehicle was deemed a total loss by the insurance adjuster who was contacted and came out to the resident. The vehicle was not towed. The dealer was contacted and informed the contact that no recalls were under the vin. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and started an investigation. Damages from the flames were done to the left side of the contact residents.the failure mileage was unknown at this time.
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.
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 with telling me my tire was flat. I pulled over on the side of the highway which is dangerous and the tire was full of air.then told me elcectroic brakes needed to be serviced. Not too long after that it kept telling me the four wheel drive is not working. I have never put the truck in four wheel drive. Also the abs service light was flashing. Took it back to dealership 4 days after i bought it and they took it into their shop and 'fixed' it in a few minutes. Very next day everything started again. Took it back to dealership and they have kept it over the weekend. When i called them at lunch on friday telling them i was bringing it back they asked me to wait til next week to bring it. This is their second chance to get it right. It has been a nightmare. I bought a truck because i have a small farm and i need it to feed and water my animals. They have had to go without water one day because i haven't had my truck 3 out of the first eight days after buying it. Also they didn't want to give me a receipt from when i brought it the first time until i had told them i had already called the ag office.
Vehicle was in motion, gently turning right and decelerating, moving approx. 60 mph exiting interstate when engine shutoff. Dash display read message to shift car into park. Drive shift knob flashed 'd'. Accessory power remained on. Vehicle was coasted to a stop, shifted to park, poweredoff, and restarted. Driver accelerated vehicle to merge back into traffic, triggering another engine shutoff with the same condition. After second restart, when vehicle was in park the engine was revved to verify a power limit redline was not being surpassed causing engine shutoff. Ac/radio was powered down and vehicle reached destination 5 minutes away without further incident. Cause of engine failure unknown, all fluid levels/temperatures nominal, no smoke or visual indications of failure on the vehicle.
Driving truck and check engine / warning light came on stating that stop / start system unavailable service needed. Contacted dealer and took in for service. By the time i took it back to the dealer the system reset and warning was no longer in system logs. Dealer stated that since warning was not active in system they could not check message and therefore could not repair. Same issue occurred 2 weeks later and resolved itself again.i am now driving truck with out using the start / stop system.
Location: state hwy 55, buffalo, mn, intersection with central avenuedescription of the issue:while stopping at the red light and applying the brake, the truck experienced a sudden acceleration burst. Even though the brake was fully applied, the engine was accelerating on its own and pushing the truck. At low speed (<5mph) and with the brake fully applied,the truck hit a stopped minivan in front of me and continue pushing it towards the intersection in bursts as i was depressing the brake pedal. After a few (three or so) brake push and release attempts, acceleration stopped and the truck (and the minivan) came to a full stop. The truck pushed the minivan for several feet.there is significant damage to a truck since the minivan had a bicycle rack installed. Except for the damaged bicycle rack, there is no observable damage on the minivan.after the truck came to a full stop, the traction control light was on and blinking for a short period of time, then it on. The front park assist light was also on. I was able to drive the truck to closes the safe parking location. I could not recreate braking related acceleration. Potential cause:a web search showed several reports of sudden acceleration bursts while applying the brake were reported ondodge / ram vehicles, including ram 1500.the description of the problems was almost identical to this case.safety concern:if i did not depress the brake several times which in my opinion stopped acceleration, the truck may have pushed the minivan into a busy intersection and cause a potentially serious accident.
While driving down a curvy rural road, my vehicle lost all throttle control. I almost wrecked and had to stop at the "exit" of a blind 55mph corner. The vehicle had multiple check engine lights on including a electromic throttle control failure light, park brake failure light, trailer brake failure light (no trailer connected at the time), and a generic check engine light.
Front driver side motor mount loose; causes engine to shake
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.
Vehicle warning display on the speedometer isn't working. It's a 2019 ram with 45k miles. It goes blank or won't come on. Without this display working properly, driver cannot see any warning such as, door open, tire pressure or any important warnings. The vehicle is drivable but the warning dash on the speedometer doesn't work.
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.
The vehicle has a tendency to hesitate when accelerating from a stop. It is as if the engine is stalling and then recovers. It occurs primarily when the engine is cold but has also happened when warmed up this is a safety hazard because it could leave the vehicle subject to collision form approaching traffic.
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.
/purchased new 2019 ram 1500 limited . Took delivery 08/30/2018 and dint get off the lot due to vehicle accelerating on its own and then multiple safety lights came on. Service then attempted to repair by replacing throttle pedal assembly due to throttle voltage code. Picked up truck 09/06/2018 and while driving 09/07/2018 just over 24 hrs later truck then started accelerating on its own in rush hour traffic nearly causing severe accident. Multiple dash lights on with warnings and check engine light. Pulled to side of road placed in park then back in drive still wanted to accelerate on own . Turned vehicle off then restarted check light still on but no longer wanting to accelerate on own. Returned vehicle to dealer unable to do anything about issue. Less than 200 miles on new truck. *dt *dt ....fca's arbitrator has denied consumers lemon law claim.
2019 ram classic big horn. It's been quite a journey with this truck. First, about a month after i bought it (feb 19) i noticed the bed was a couple of inches to the left of the cab. Turns out, it was the cab needing adjustment not the bed. Drove it for a year fine. 2 months ago i attempted to start and it was dead. The interior lights would work but it would not start'not even try to turn over. I disconnected the neg battery post and waited a few minutes, hooked it up and it started. Drove it for a couple days then, backing out of my garage it died'while moving it just died. It was on the way to the dealer for some warrenty paint repair so i figured i'd disconnect the battery again and drive it over. When i opened the door the alarm went off. Nothing i could do to turn it off. Could not turn the key to off and could not get the key out of the ignition. Pushing the buttons had no effect. Disconnecting the battery silenced the alarm. Had it towed to the dealer. They tried for two weeks to fix it. They changed the ignition module, and it didn't' work. They reprogramed the keys and it didn't work. They reprogramed 1 another new, different key and it didn't work. They programmed two new different keys and said that fixed it (makes no sense why the second key would help). It also doesn't make sense how the key fob malfunction would cause the vehicle to die when it's running. Picked up the truck and drove 200 miles. Then the next day it died while driving straight at 30 mph, in the middle of an intersection.they clearly don't know what's going on with this thing and won't pay to tow it back to their shop. They want me to send it to a local small town dealer, 4 hours from home. I can barely get them to return my calls. The service rep says all they can do is have it towed to the closest dealer.
Vehicle fails to start without any notice or apparent indications of a potential issue.i had someone use a code reader and got the following code p1df3... I checked ram forums and this is a common malfunction. Without warning something drains the battery. No one knows what will fix it yet.

I was driving on interstate highway 75 and my car slimiest turned off and sputtered. I slowed down like i stopped on breaks and a 18 wheeler had to change lanes. I heard a pop and thought it might have been gas but took it to the dealer and found out the engine lifters has broken/popped. This is a defect that could cause lives to be lost if the truck has not been paying attention. The car has been well maintained and i was told by the dealership and my service technicians that this has happened to numerous ram trucks with hemi's 2013, 2014, and 2015. The mileage range that this happens is from 40,000 to 80,000 miles without warning.
2019 dodge ram. Consumer writes in regards to illuminated service lights.the consumer stated the engine light, battery light and adaptable cruise control warning lights illuminated on multiple occasions. While driving,the vehicle lost power steering, leaked a liquid, smoke emitted from under the hood and the dashboard went dark. Also the tailgate opens intermittently, radio shuts off independently, volts are reading low, and battery is in saver mode.
I was driving in the city in traffic. I was accelerating at about half throttle or less, when the gas peddle went all the way to the floor (full throttle). The truck accelerated out of control, i tried lifting the gas peddle with my toe and it kept going straight back to the floor. I was braking and trying to not crash. I was able to change into an empty lane and get the truck to come to a stop. When the truck was at a stop the gas peddle remained all the way at the floor. I lifted the pedal several times with my toe and it would fall back to full throttle. I shifted to park and the peddle returned to its normal level. After this happened the truck will not go any higher than 4th gear now and got towed to the dealership.

The check engine light has been on several times. I've dropped my truck off at crown dodge of fayetteville and was told on two separate occasions that's everything was taken care of. Today 1 november 2020, i've purchased a brand new $200 duralast platinum battery and it's still being drained by some unknown issue. I received some help outside of the dealership and received the error code p1dr3. I told told that was a dealership code and i would have to return the vehicle to get it resolved. This will be the third time in a months time i would have to be without my vehicle. The first time this is happened i was driving 40-45 mph and the truck completely shut off!
Truck has 442 miles on it, check engine light came on began flashing. Engine malfunction light indicator illuminated. Sluggish on acceleration, blows heat regardless of temperature setting. All while in motion.
While driving,usually slowing from highway speed,all safety lights turn on on the dash board (cross traffic,anti collision,rear parking,ignition,stabilitrak,check engine).also vehicle loses power and you can not accelerate.engine runs on (assuming) 4 cylinders as it starts shaking like itā€™s misfiring.after you pull over and restart the engine all lights clear except check engine.vehicle than runs normal.check engine has cleared twice on me.once after about 30 and second time after about 50 miles.in both instances i was away from home and had to drive back.the other few times was only a few miles away from dealer.vehicle is currently at the dealer (7th time) with 35775 miles.multiple tickets have been opened with fca.in my own research i have found online forums with identical issues.the dealer is at the liss.their techs canā€™t figure it out.they have replaced multiple parts but the issue remains. Note:your system allows me to select three issues at the start of this form but i have three more under adas category that i was unable to select.

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.
After remote starting the car for a few minutes, i got in the truck and hit the start/stop button and reversed out of my driveway. As i backed out on to the street, the engine shut off and the car shifted itself back to park. I started it again and after a couple of seconds, the car turned itself off again. This happened about 10 times. Finally it stayed on and i drove 6 miles to work. When i got to work, i hit the start/stop button to turn it off and it would not turn off. After a couple of minutes, the car turned off by itself. I started it again and it turned off after a couple seconds. After a couple more times it finally it stayed on for longer than a few seconds but would not turn off with the start stop button. I had it towed to the dealership.
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.
Ok we need a recall now this is ridiculous! give us a recall on the rear window because all it does is crack and leak, i am sick and tired of bringing my truck to the dealer for this problem and im sure everyone else is too so please do us a favor here. Second the manifold bolts breaking/cracking, seriously! that needs to be addressed immediately as well, thats all we ask for is for these two recalls.
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 dust. The vehicle had only 2,000 or so miles on it at the time. I believe my truck only has about 3,200 miles on it right now, but i cannot really tell because i cant' see the odometer. I have read various complaints on this site regarding this model and many of them apply to me as well.
A roaring sound and vibration between 10 and 60mph. On city streets or highways.
The contact owns a 2019 ram 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled more than twice without warning. Benny boyd gonzales chrysler dodge jeep ram (3698 us-183, gonzales, tx 78629, (830) 445-4001) indicated that the vehicle would need to remain with them to be test driven because a diagnostic trouble code was not located. A buy back offer was stated by the dealer, but was not a repair solution. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 130. *dt
I purchased my truck new in nov 2019. Since then i have had four different occasions where my truck has stalled while driving at low speed or while shifting from drive to reverse. Two of the occasions i was pulling away from a stop and the truck stalled and i was stuck in the middle of the intersection until i put the truck in park and restarted. Luckily there was no cross traffic so there was no danger in this situation but it could have been much worse. The last occasion happened a couple weeks ago when i was moving my truck in my driveway. I shifted to drive and pulled forward then put my truck in reverse. As i put my truck in reverse it immediately stalled. I put it in park and was able to immediatelyrestart it. However, it did have a check engine light on. The next morning i was going to take the truck to the dealer to have the light checked but it had cleared itself and there are no codes stored so the dealer can't do anything.
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. *dtvin is not available*dt consumer stated vehicle considered for lemon law and dealer and consumer working on getting a new vehicle.

Sudden loss of engine oil due to engine mounting bracket breaking away from frame causing engine to drop puncturing the oil filter. 7 quarts of oil pumped out all over the hot exhaust and onto the right front brake assembly. When i saw the smoke i slowed down and tried to get to a safe stopping point off of the highway. By the time i got there the low oil pressure indicator came on. When i finally came to a complete stop oil was everywhere under and on the vehicle.i shut the engine off and got out thinking it may be on fire. Thankfully it was not. I also hope there is no engine damage. I called the dealer and had it towed to there shop. I was informed there was an incomplete weld on the frame bracket causing this failure. This sounds like a manufacturing defect to me! i,am not happy with the repairs the dealer is proposing. This truck is 2 years old and has 18,000 miles.*dt
The exhaust system builds up soot and causes the vehicle to malfunction or require excessive egr cleaning. My vehicle has been in 4 times for the same issue. The dealership admitted they have had many of the same vehicles in for the same issue. It will freeze up when driving and prevent going forward. I have called ram and they refuse to consider anything because my issue is a maintenance issue the dealership already told me should not be necessary until 60,000-90,000 miles and i should know it will need to be done every 10,000 miles if i do not drive more than i do. I was never informed of the issue when purchasing the vehicle brand new.
The contact owns a 2019 ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle decelerated without warning. The vehicle was pulled over, shut-off and restarted. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to the lithia chrysler jeep dodge of billings dealer located at 2229 king ave w, billings, mt 59102, where the technician was unable to duplicate the failure, and stated that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the same dealer four times. The technician suggested that the engine needed to be replaced however, when made aware of the failure, the manufacturer declined to pay for the engine replacement. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 17,000. The vin was not provided.
I was driving on i-65 in indianapolis, in traffic, when my engine abruptly shut off and the ignition mode switched from run to acc. This caused me to lose all propulsion power and i was forced to cross lanes to get over to the right shoulder. Luckily, i was still a mile or two from the upcoming construction zone, which would have prevented me from being able to pull off onto a shoulder. Because the engine had shut off while the truck was moving, the computer system is programmed to shift the transmission into park, but because i was going 70mph on the highway (>5mph according to my user manual), it just alerted me that my engine was off and that i was in acc mode. After parking the truck on the shoulder with hazards on, i turned the engine off and waited a few seconds before trying to start it again. When i pressed the brake and the ignition button, the truck started up immediately, like normal, but then 2 seconds later it cut out again with the same run-to-acc mode switch. This happened 6-7 more times before the truck somehow stayed on run. I checked the engine and my fluids for anything odd, but mechanically, the truck was fine. No check engine or warning lights ever came on. The computer system didn't recognize that anything was wrong other than the initial indication. I was able to get home without issues after that, but when i went to turn the engine off, i couldn't. The ignition button had stopped responding. I tried all of the user manual's methods to turn it off, but nothing worked. This vehicle doesn't have a manual key ignition override, just the fob and keyless button, neither of which could turn the engine off. The fob's remote start/shutoff didn't work either. In the end, i had to disconnect the battery to force the engine and computer system to turn off. I'm taking it into the local dealer, via tow if it won't start again, to figure out what happened.
Ehicle was parked over night came out next day to go to store ebgine light was on on further investigation i get a p1df3 error code from my odb reader

While driving on april 15, 2021, stopped at a red light and car completely shut off and would not start back up.tried jumping car numerous times but still would not start. Had car towed to dealer and car still would not start. Dealer can not diagnose what issue is and can not define why car cut off in the middle of traffic
While driving slowing down to make a left turn turn completely turned off. While still in drive was able to get to the side off the road everything was still on a.c. Shut off but power was still on.
I purchased a 2019 ram 1500 in june of 2019. In october of 2020 i got into the truck as i have done for over a year and started it up. As i put it in drive and begin to take my foot off the brake, the truck would auto-shift into park and cut the engine off. This continued to happen over and over again as i kept trying to put the truck in drive and go into motion. It even did it while trying to put it in reverse. I lmade sure all doors were shut, seat belt on, no e-brake and nothing was lit up on dash. The truck simply would not engage into drive and it was not user error. I had ram road side assistance tow the vehicle to a local certified dealer with ram technicians. This was on 10/16/20 and the truck was in the care of the ram dealer until 10/19/20. They informed me that they could not replicate issue i experienced. I then took back possession of the truck. On 11/12/2020 i drove about a mile from my residence put the truck in park while running into a store. I drove the truck about 900 feet and the truck auto shifted to park while i was at speeds of 30mph. The enigine cut off and the truck had to come to a complete stop before i was able to turn it back on as if i would if the truck was stopped. I pulled over and began driving again for several hundred feet. Again the truck shifted to park on its own while driving speeds of 30mph. This happened two more times before being able to return to my residence and call for a tow. The car was towed to the same dealer and in their notes. The tow driver experienced the truck turning off on him while trying to back it off the truck. The dealer had the truck for several days but told me they could not replicate the issue which has now been experienced by me and the tow driver. Again i go back and take possession of the truck which is now more concerning because it is happening while driving and they can't fix it.
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

Standard halogen lighting not adequate and is a safety concern. Have reached out to ram corporate for customer assistance and have been denied.
The rear center brake light apparently leaks into the cabin. This is a common 1500 2019 problem. It leaks into the ceiling surrounding air bags and other electronics. How is this not already recalled? it leaks constantly so how can one tell when it occurs?

In october 2019, the uconnect system in my 2019 ram 1500 began to malfunction.it started with gps coordinates being misaligned to my current location, but quickly progressed to malfunctioning in all aspects of the system.on december 30, 2019, the entire system failed, rendering a black screen and no ability to control the critical functions in the vehicle (maintenance, lighting, climate, or safety cameras).without the uconnect system, it is impossible to modify any of the setting for the vehicle.

On 11/20/20 my ram truck was hit on the right front corner and totaled. We were at a stop light and just started tocomplete a left hand turn on a city street when the other driver ran a red light, he was issued a citation for running a red light,and was "probably" speeding. We were in a 35mph zone. The air bags failed to deploy. I contacted chrysler and this is part of their conclusion. "the conclusion of the investigation is that the rate of deceleration necessary to activate the air bag system was not present during this accident. A information regarding the air bag system may be found in your owner's manual. For additional facts, you may also want to visit nhtsa website: https://www.nhtsa.gov/equipment/air-bags. In other words any time you are hit and don't have advance warning where you can take your foot off the accelerator the air bags will not deploy because you can't decelerate. If you don't see the accident about to happen, why would you take your foot off the accelerator and slow down??. This conclusion makes no sense and looks to be an easy out to try and avoid any perceived problem with their air bag deployment system.thank you*dt*dt*dt

Vehicle was in motion, gently turning right and decelerating, moving approx. 60 mph exiting interstate when engine shutoff. Dash display read message to shift car into park. Drive shift knob flashed 'd'. Accessory power remained on. Vehicle was coasted to a stop, shifted to park, poweredoff, and restarted. Driver accelerated vehicle to merge back into traffic, triggering another engine shutoff with the same condition. After second restart, when vehicle was in park the engine was revved to verify a power limit redline was not being surpassed causing engine shutoff. Ac/radio was powered down and vehicle reached destination 5 minutes away without further incident. Cause of engine failure unknown, all fluid levels/temperatures nominal, no smoke or visual indications of failure on the vehicle.
When filling the tank, i notice a leak on the tank.at the moment of the leak, it was half a tank.not sure if the problem was from a tube that connect to the tank. *dt *dt
While driving on april 15, 2021, stopped at a red light and car completely shut off and would not start back up.tried jumping car numerous times but still would not start. Had car towed to dealer and car still would not start. Dealer can not diagnose what issue is and can not define why car cut off in the middle of traffic
My 2019 ram fuel filler neck causes any gas pump nozzle i use to become stuck and makes refueling take much longer than it should. The gas pump nozzle continuously turns off not allowing me to fill my gas tank. The filler neck?s design seems to trigger the gas pumps? automatic shutoff when the tank isn?t full yet. Sometimes the pump shuts off every few seconds, forcing me to fill my trucks? tank ounces at a time.
The truck will increase and decrease engine rpm's from idlingat 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.
The exhaust system builds up soot and causes the vehicle to malfunction or require excessive egr cleaning. My vehicle has been in 4 times for the same issue. The dealership admitted they have had many of the same vehicles in for the same issue. It will freeze up when driving and prevent going forward. I have called ram and they refuse to consider anything because my issue is a maintenance issue the dealership already told me should not be necessary until 60,000-90,000 miles and i should know it will need to be done every 10,000 miles if i do not drive more than i do. I was never informed of the issue when purchasing the vehicle brand new.
Location: state hwy 55, buffalo, mn, intersection with central avenuedescription of the issue:while stopping at the red light and applying the brake, the truck experienced a sudden acceleration burst. Even though the brake was fully applied, the engine was accelerating on its own and pushing the truck. At low speed (<5mph) and with the brake fully applied,the truck hit a stopped minivan in front of me and continue pushing it towards the intersection in bursts as i was depressing the brake pedal. After a few (three or so) brake push and release attempts, acceleration stopped and the truck (and the minivan) came to a full stop. The truck pushed the minivan for several feet.there is significant damage to a truck since the minivan had a bicycle rack installed. Except for the damaged bicycle rack, there is no observable damage on the minivan.after the truck came to a full stop, the traction control light was on and blinking for a short period of time, then it on. The front park assist light was also on. I was able to drive the truck to closes the safe parking location. I could not recreate braking related acceleration. Potential cause:a web search showed several reports of sudden acceleration bursts while applying the brake were reported ondodge / ram vehicles, including ram 1500.the description of the problems was almost identical to this case.safety concern:if i did not depress the brake several times which in my opinion stopped acceleration, the truck may have pushed the minivan into a busy intersection and cause a potentially serious accident.
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.

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.
Touchscreen controls for radio, climate, and all other controls do not work properly. Any and all elements of touchscreen will power on and off from ac to heat to radio stations to random phone dialing. Also the vehicle will shut down while driving as if the gear shifter has been placed in neutral. Truck will not accelerate and remote start doesn't work either. Left rear passenger window seal near bed of truck also leaks water when it rains.
For the past month my truck is unable to get more than 1/2 a gallon of gas when refueling. I brought it into the dealership and they looked the truck over and advised they couldn't find an issue. Told me to bring the truck to a gas station with a longer nozzle. I was also advised they would reach out to ram for another solution. No follow up still having issues at multiple locations, fuel also spills out of the tank when the nozzle stops working.
The window stickers said 19 mpg . Really i only do 11 on my trick
The air dam will not extend down after reaching the required speed, thus throwing a cel. Believe the motor is sticking or gasket/seals are dried and won't turn the shaft to release the dam.
I was driving on i-65 in indianapolis, in traffic, when my engine abruptly shut off and the ignition mode switched from run to acc. This caused me to lose all propulsion power and i was forced to cross lanes to get over to the right shoulder. Luckily, i was still a mile or two from the upcoming construction zone, which would have prevented me from being able to pull off onto a shoulder. Because the engine had shut off while the truck was moving, the computer system is programmed to shift the transmission into park, but because i was going 70mph on the highway (>5mph according to my user manual), it just alerted me that my engine was off and that i was in acc mode. After parking the truck on the shoulder with hazards on, i turned the engine off and waited a few seconds before trying to start it again. When i pressed the brake and the ignition button, the truck started up immediately, like normal, but then 2 seconds later it cut out again with the same run-to-acc mode switch. This happened 6-7 more times before the truck somehow stayed on run. I checked the engine and my fluids for anything odd, but mechanically, the truck was fine. No check engine or warning lights ever came on. The computer system didn't recognize that anything was wrong other than the initial indication. I was able to get home without issues after that, but when i went to turn the engine off, i couldn't. The ignition button had stopped responding. I tried all of the user manual's methods to turn it off, but nothing worked. This vehicle doesn't have a manual key ignition override, just the fob and keyless button, neither of which could turn the engine off. The fob's remote start/shutoff didn't work either. In the end, i had to disconnect the battery to force the engine and computer system to turn off. I'm taking it into the local dealer, via tow if it won't start again, to figure out what happened.
Back up camera has gone out. Repeatedly while in reverse; also auxiliary and charger stop working
The car is off and the radio turns on by itself.while the car is in motion the airconditioner works occasionally (not very often) and when the ac goes out the power windows go out as well. The warning sensors on side do not work either.
On 11/20/20 my ram truck was hit on the right front corner and totaled. We were at a stop light and just started tocomplete a left hand turn on a city street when the other driver ran a red light, he was issued a citation for running a red light,and was "probably" speeding. We were in a 35mph zone. The air bags failed to deploy. I contacted chrysler and this is part of their conclusion. "the conclusion of the investigation is that the rate of deceleration necessary to activate the air bag system was not present during this accident. A information regarding the air bag system may be found in your owner's manual. For additional facts, you may also want to visit nhtsa website: https://www.nhtsa.gov/equipment/air-bags. In other words any time you are hit and don't have advance warning where you can take your foot off the accelerator the air bags will not deploy because you can't decelerate. If you don't see the accident about to happen, why would you take your foot off the accelerator and slow down??. This conclusion makes no sense and looks to be an easy out to try and avoid any perceived problem with their air bag deployment system.thank you*dt*dt*dt

The contact owns just bought a ram 1500 classic bighorn driving it home from dealership on interstate 91 in springfield ma. Going about 65 miles an hour when driveshaft fell out of truck onto highway almost causing an accident.*dt*dt*tp*dtconsumer stated because truck was still under warranty repair was free of charge.
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.
While driving approximately 15 miles an hour on a neighborhood street the truck displayed "auto park disabled" and proceeded to shut off completely, forcing me to pull over and try and turn the truck back on.
Mild to extreme vibration from rear of the vehicle but not limited to the steering wheel seats and gas pedal at any speed but worsens as speed increases.was told after multiple visits to dealer that everything is within spec. And they will no longer pursue the issue further.filed lemon law claim and was awarded compensation and was allowed to keep the vehicle.in my opinion the vehicle is progressively unsafe to drive and there are hundreds of complaints on the same subject throughout multiple forums (over 932 pages on the one i am a member of alone) and we are all being told the same line..flat spots on the tires..we don't warranty tires.
Vehicle fails to start without any notice or apparent indications of a potential issue.i had someone use a code reader and got the following code p1df3... I checked ram forums and this is a common malfunction. Without warning something drains the battery. No one knows what will fix it yet.
I was driving in the city in traffic. I was accelerating at about half throttle or less, when the gas peddle went all the way to the floor (full throttle). The truck accelerated out of control, i tried lifting the gas peddle with my toe and it kept going straight back to the floor. I was braking and trying to not crash. I was able to change into an empty lane and get the truck to come to a stop. When the truck was at a stop the gas peddle remained all the way at the floor. I lifted the pedal several times with my toe and it would fall back to full throttle. I shifted to park and the peddle returned to its normal level. After this happened the truck will not go any higher than 4th gear now and got towed to the dealership.

The vehicle has a tendency to hesitate when accelerating from a stop. It is as if the engine is stalling and then recovers. It occurs primarily when the engine is cold but has also happened when warmed up this is a safety hazard because it could leave the vehicle subject to collision form approaching traffic.
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.
I purchased my truck new in nov 2019. Since then i have had four different occasions where my truck has stalled while driving at low speed or while shifting from drive to reverse. Two of the occasions i was pulling away from a stop and the truck stalled and i was stuck in the middle of the intersection until i put the truck in park and restarted. Luckily there was no cross traffic so there was no danger in this situation but it could have been much worse. The last occasion happened a couple weeks ago when i was moving my truck in my driveway. I shifted to drive and pulled forward then put my truck in reverse. As i put my truck in reverse it immediately stalled. I put it in park and was able to immediatelyrestart it. However, it did have a check engine light on. The next morning i was going to take the truck to the dealer to have the light checked but it had cleared itself and there are no codes stored so the dealer can't do anything.
/purchased new 2019 ram 1500 limited . Took delivery 08/30/2018 and dint get off the lot due to vehicle accelerating on its own and then multiple safety lights came on. Service then attempted to repair by replacing throttle pedal assembly due to throttle voltage code. Picked up truck 09/06/2018 and while driving 09/07/2018 just over 24 hrs later truck then started accelerating on its own in rush hour traffic nearly causing severe accident. Multiple dash lights on with warnings and check engine light. Pulled to side of road placed in park then back in drive still wanted to accelerate on own . Turned vehicle off then restarted check light still on but no longer wanting to accelerate on own. Returned vehicle to dealer unable to do anything about issue. Less than 200 miles on new truck. *dt *dt ....fca's arbitrator has denied consumers lemon law claim.
When slowing down from a higher speed to coasting (let off gas let slow down), i have a harsh vibration/noise coming from the rear end, to the point it shakes the seats, console, and even the door panels.the vibration does not last but a couple of seconds at a time usually a speed or two.took to the dealer they replaced the vibration actuators on the vehicle (no change) , replaced the carrier in the rear diff (no change) took back to dealer but have been being blown off.the vibration can happen on any street at any time, when ever it feels like doing it.no one at my dealer seems to know how to fix it so they keep saying can not duplicate it when multiple have duplicated it.i have audio files but can not attach them to this page
Complete dashboard and guidance screen went black. Shut vehicle off restarted came back on. Happened again week later came back on by self. Happens on once in a while. Dealer changed radio still happens. Vibration in drive line dealer said it was road force on my tires said i need to replace my tires. I replaced all tires still have vibration.
The transmission failed while i was driving. The vehicle coasted to a stop and became immobile. I could not get the transmission to shift into neutral and i was left in an unsafe situation as my vehicle was blocking the road. The police and others arrived but nobody could move the truck until the tow truck arrived.
While driving slowing down to make a left turn turn completely turned off. While still in drive was able to get to the side off the road everything was still on a.c. Shut off but power was still on.
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 moreinstances 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.see: https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/shifter-knob-issues-2019-ram-1500-help-brand-new.1180/see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hg4syqtxxjq
2019 ram laramie gear selector will show drive and not move until the rpm is @ 2000 and then slam into gear. This was after backing into a parking spot and then immediately going into drive to reposition the truck. This has happened twice. Once an hour after purchase and once the next day. I bought this vehicle 3 days ago,3/29/19.
#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.
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.
2019 ram 1500 bighorn stopped at stop sign and then truck would not accelerate, the "d" light on shifter knob was blinking and dash message said to put the shifterinto drive. I put the shifter into park and rolled back to drive and the truck was normal.

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 fullyengage. The truck is new and is happening daily.i feel that this is a manufacture defect that needs to be remedied immediately.
Every day when driving the truck for the first time. Truck has sat for more than 5 hours and is cool (70 degrees) as i leave my community driiving 25 mph, i stop at the first stop sign. During slowing down to a stop the transmission downshifts and surges forward. Many times during this surge the transmission goes into neutral and the screen instructs me to shift into park and then back in to drive. It makes it dangerous if there is traffic behind me. The truck always surges when stopping and pops out of gear at least twice a week. Dealership said they addressed by updating drive train software . Since repair it has happened again and dealer insists they can't replicate. I have provided a video showing the truck popping out of gear at a stop sigh. The site will not allow me to upload the video but i can provide if requested.
Whining/ growling noise from rear end. Sound starts about 40 mph and never goes away. Checked the differential fluid it was 3/4 quart low. Took it to dealer for warranty, they informed me it was a pinion bearing going bad likely cause was from low fluids. Researched the problem found fca ( had a recall ( safety recall u88 / nhtsa 18v-556 rear axle fluid level - 2018-2019 ram 1500)on similar year and model truck but did not include my vin number. Fca advised me to contact this agency to see if i can include my vin.
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.

The contact owns a 2019 ram 1500. The contact stated upon starting the vehicle, the warning message "service axle wack" appeared on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the power train control module had failed. The contact stated that the power train control module was reprogrammed however, the failure recurred while driving. The warning messages "axle locked" and "axle locked, service" appeared on the instrument panel along with two unknown warning lights illuminated. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 21,453.
Transmission automatically disengaging on it's own while driving at speed of 30-40mph. Vehicle was being driven in rush hour traffic for at least 25 minutes at the approx speed on highway. No snow, transmission was in 2wd entire time. This has happened multiple times now with the vehicle. No errors were displayed, vehicle was already taken in to dodge for repair with no faults found. I contacted dodge and they did not believe me. I now have video proof of the truck and witness of the truck disengaging the transmission on it's own. I did not manually change anything.i have one other video from my passenger that i did not uploadthis is the second time i've reported this but the first with actual video evidencehttps://www.facebook.com/wesley.goad.94/videos/5831564673527699https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdpgq0z1ags
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.
The contact owns a 2019 ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 10-15 mph, the vehicle jerked when coming to a stop and while accelerating from a stop. The drive knob shift light illuminated and the dashboard message stated shift to park then shift to drive appeared. The contact stated that the failure recurred four times. The vehicle was taken to coastline chrysler dodge jeep ram (32881 camino capistrano, san juan capistrano, ca 92675) however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 29,000. *lnthe consumer stated the uconnect and steering wheel controls were not working consistently with an iphone. The right turn signal did not always turn off after making the turn. At startup, the shift into drive was delayed and would clunk and jerk. There was rear end vibrations. The consumer stated while proceeding from a stop the vehicle independtly applied the brakes. The consumer put the vehicle in park then back in drive. The vehicle then continued as normal. The consumer stated this occured on several occasions. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure.
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.
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. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided the contact with case number: [xxx]. The contact referenced nhtsa action number: pe16014 (power train) as a potential cause of the failure and specifically indicated that the parking brake was not engaged. The failure mileage was approximately 97. *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).')

The contact owns a 2019 ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, there was an abnormal grinding sound coming from the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic and was informed that the noise came from the differential. The vehicle was driven to the residence and upon inspection, the contact became aware that the differential fluid level was low. The vehicle was driven to haddad dodge ram (3000 harris rd, bakersfield, ca 93313) where they diagnosed the vehicle with a difficult rear pinion bearing.

Speedometer and entire instrument cluster stopped working, wipers started working, transmission would not shift. Message on cluster stated to get where you're going and don't turn engine off or it may not restart. Driveability was greatly reduced, power steering seemed to be less effective. Error and warning messages from all the electronic modules flashed on the driver display in sequence. Dealer starr motors of suffolk, virginia indicated that without an active condition they cannot troubleshoot and repair so they sent us back out on the road with this vehicle. Error code u1817 is displayed as a non-active historical diagnostic trouble code. Hitting a bump in the road seemed to trigger momentary return of cluster functionality, with a return to non-functionality shortly thereafter.

1st problem....steering column rattles loudly in-between 45 and 60 mph and at speeds below 10mph.trucks front end grinds when making slow speed right hand turns.also truck lurches, grinds and rattles the entire front end slowing down or backing upat slow speeds....this happens when brakes are not being applied.sometimes when i drive the truck the steering wheel stays off center to the right and pulls very hard to the right.chrysler says it possible the electronic power steering rack but they dont have a fix. Gets worse almost every day.2nd problem....i have noticed the truck has marks where the knuckle and the lower control arm are hitting each other.i understand the need for steering stops but these are not steering stop hits.these parts are structural parts of the truck that are not supposed to hit.both sides are doing this and i do not feel the truck is safe with this issue and it has caused stressed areas on the front end of the truck.this could cause parts to fail and have serious consequences at any speed the truck is going if they decide to fail. My truck has been to the dealership 4 times and was just dropped off again today.they said they may have to replace the parts that are hitting...but they are the same parts and it will do the same exact thing again.they gave me a 2019 ram to drive as a loaner and this truck doesnt have the air suspension like mine does.i inspected under the truck and found the same exact issue on this truck.i believe chrysler has a serious issue with these trucks that started with the design and they are not taking care of the issue.i have a $62,000 dollar truck i do not feel is safe and i am not getting answers to correct these issues.the date below is estimated when i took it to the dealership the first time.this has been an ongoing problem with no resolve from chrysler
The contact owns a 2019 ram 1500. The contact stated that while the vehicle is placed in park, the vehicle jerked forward without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer arrigo dodge chrysler jeep ram sawgrass (5901 madison avenue, tamarac, fl 33321, (954) 379-2040) where it was diagnosed that the transmission software needed to be updated. The vehicle was repaired. The failure recurred four times however, when the vehicle was brought back to the dealer, the technician informed the contact that the driveshaft needed to be replaced. The driveshaft was replaced twice. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided the contact with a case number. The contact was informed of nhtsa campaign number: 19v324000 (power train) that was a possible solution to the failure however, the vin was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 17,000.
I have owned my 2019 ram 1500 (new) for 2.5 years and more than 30-40times over this period the transmission gets stuck in 1st gear. The only way, i've found, to resolve is to put truck into park, turn off engine and then restart. It happens when i first start driving and don't notice until the engine "revs" and then realize it is stuck in gear. Had mentioned to dealership when in for repair/service. They seem not to be aware of any reports of this problem. It is random and although can happen back-to-back, it is seldom, so hard to replicate on demand. Not sure the exact dates of these occurrences, as i've gotten use to it, but warranty is come up and thought i better report it.
I have made several attempts to get this vehicle repaired after receiving this recall notification. V61/nhtsa 19v-407atthis 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).
The truck was backed up in the driveway.when shifting from park to drive the vehicle remained in park and the engine revved up. Tried again and the same thing happened except as the rpm'swere coming down the transmission jumped into gear and the truck lunged forward without warning.
I pulled in to get gas shut vehicle off and pumped gas got back in vehicle started it up put vehicle in drive and it got really loud and started shifting bad
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
Traveling around 35-40 mph i was approaching a stopped light. I eased off the gas and when the gas pedal no longer"engaged" the transmission the computer/software disengaged the transmission without my doing. No error was displayed and the knob still showed as in the drive position. As i pressed the gas pedal the rpms rose but because the transmission was in neutral it only revved the engine. I had to pull over, manually place the knob into park, then wait a few seconds then back into drive. The truck resumed normally after that. This is not the first time the transmission disengaged itself into neutral or into a lower gear. I did not try to force the truck into neutral while it was moving. The truck was in motion on a city street. The most important thing to note was the position of the gas pedal i had just eased off of it slightly intending the truck to slow down. Last year i had the truck serviced for the recalls. Today 12/8/2020 with 7900 miles on the truck i placed the truck into service for them to ascertain the problem.
Check engine light once for the alternator and had to have it towed and replaced with only 37,000 miles on it and took two months to get part and repaired after just buying the truck. Now check engine light came on and itā€™s the code u11e9 which has to deal with the shutters in the front of the truck
On three separate occasions the vehicle power steering stopped working.one event was while driving the vehicle at highway approved speed on the interstate when the vehicle's power steering stopped operating suddenly in heavy traffic on a curve.the vehicle was extremely difficult to manually steer to a safe location in traffic.next two events happened at the start of the day shortly after starting the vehicle's engine.a message is displayed on the panel "service power steering".there is no power steering functioning when this error is displayed.with each event the nearby service center for the manufacturer has needed to keep the vehicle multiple days to work with the manufacturer on a solution.on another issue the vehicle was unable to drive forward or reverse on first delivery (within 100 miles) and again around 2500 miles.the transmission would not go into gear and needed the service center to reprogram the transmission to make it work.
Park to drive shifting problem. Transmission and indicators go to from park to drive, however vehicle does not move. To rectify the problem youmust place the vehicle in reverse, than into drive. If you hit gas when it is stuck vehicle does not move, then will lunge forward aat an unsafe speed. Vehicle has less than 80 miles has happened 5 times on several occasions
While driving (in motion in the city) car randomly put itself in neutral the drive light blink and error message on dash board stating put the car in park and back into drive. While stopped car and foot on brake randomly the engine revs and lunges forward.
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.
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 bump (on the freeway, typical in texas). Pick up truck had been driven approximately 1000 miles in the last 2 days (highway miles).
The contact owns a 2019 ram 1500. After the vehicle had been parked for a while, it was unable to restart. The contact stated that after several attempts the vehicle was started, but it independently switched back from drive into park. The vehicle was towed to lithia chrysler jeep dodge of twin falls (1310 pole line rd e, twin falls, id 83301, (208) 293-8571) to be diagnosed, but the mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code or provide a prognosis for the vehicle. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 110. The vin was invalid.
I have a 2019 ram 1500 i bought last year that now has 20,000 miles. Within 5,000 miles, i noticed brake noise issues and took the vehicle to the local dealership in colorado springs, co (i bought the truck in leesburg, va). They told me everything from bad brake pads to rotors to mounts - after i refused to accept their claim of not being able to find anything. After taking it in approximately 6 or 7 times, they finally changed mounting assemblies, and the noise went away. However, i started getting a vibration between 45 and 60 miles an hour. I took it in again, and they said my tires needed to be rebalanced, rotated, and they suspected they had unusual wear somewhere. Of course, the person telling me this proceeded to show me my tires and noticed they were almost like new. He said they fixed it to the point it would only vibrate between 75 and 80 miles. Since then, the vibration still presents itself between 45 miles and up & now my brakes are squealing again.
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.see: https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/shifter-knob-issues-2019-ram-1500-help-brand-new.1180/see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hg4syqtxxjq
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.
While driving, the truck loses power as if in neutral.the car is in drive, and the display says something similar to 'in park pick a gear'.i don't know the exact wording.
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...
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.
Loose rear suspension. Creates a wobble that increases with speed. Vehicle seems unstable. Been to multiple dealers and they say tires are out of line. I have paid for eight wheel alignments and the problem has been constant since i purchased the vehicle.
While driving down a curvy rural road, my vehicle lost all throttle control. I almost wrecked and had to stop at the "exit" of a blind 55mph corner. The vehicle had multiple check engine lights on including a electromic throttle control failure light, park brake failure light, trailer brake failure light (no trailer connected at the time), and a generic check engine light.
The truck has been intermittently experiencing loss of power steering. This situation has been happening after i stop the truck. Has happened 2 times now. Makes it extremely dangerous to drive and or maneuver to get to a safety spot. Also when this happens, it loses lane, departure adaptive cruise control, assisted braking & most electronic safety features.
Transmission would not come out of lower gear while driving on city street. Had to pull off street, put into park then back into drive then it seemed to function normally again.
During slowing down to a stop the transmission downshifts usually from 2 gear to 1st gear and surges forward. Many times during this surge the transmission goes into neutral and the screen instructs me to shift into park and then back in to drive. It makes it dangerous if there is traffic behind me. The truck often surges when stopping and pops out of gear at once a month. Dealership said they addressed by updating drive train software. Since repair it has happened again and i took to another dealer and they state they can't replicate or know how to fix it.

I had noticed that the rear window on the drivers side would leak a small dribble of water after a car wash or a heavy rain. The vehicle was not moving at the time of discovery. I took my truck into meador cdjr in fort worth tx and they removed and replaced the rear seat and rear window. They installed a new window seal and replaced the rear seat. They covered this as a warranty item with no charge to me.

The contact owns a 2019 ram 1500.

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.
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.
Rear brake noise started at 3000 miles. Had truck serviced at 10k miles and noise continued.

The contact owns a 2019 ram 1500. The contact stated that the brakes made a squeaking noise when the brake pedal was depressed. The issue occurred primarily when the vehicle was in reverse and whenever it rained, snowed, or any condition that caused the ground to be wet. The contact had to apply excessive pressure to the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. The contact called antioch chrysler dodge jeep (located at 105 rt 173, antioch, il 60002, 847-787-7016), but they were unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 3,000.
Vehicle has adjustable height gas pedal and factory floor mats properly installed.after near-miss accident i found the gas pedal stuck down on a vertical rib of the floor mat. Pictures attached. When pedal height is adjusted full up or full down it can not reach floor mat.when adjusted mid range though, the pedal can reach the floor mat and stick to the top of the far right hand rib.i was pulling away from a 4-way stop going straight when the 395hp vehicle maintained violent acceleration.pressing the brake i believe stopped the violent acceleration or decreased it significantly. I needed to touch the pedal again to get to a safe place and again just touching it caused violent acceleration. Regained control of the vehicle and pulled over and found the pedal stuck to the top of the rib. Was a few blocks from where i purchased the vehicle a few days before.their resolution was to confiscate my floor mat and for me to go to a parts store to buy a new one for my $45,000 vehicle.see also odi 11288197.*dsy*dt*dt*dt *tpconsumer stated have a lot of controls background and immediately assumed the braking cut back on the powerand was very sure when it took off again. Consumer acrossed the intersection and had enough speed to make it to a safe place to pull over. Pulling up the pedal was not a viable option.

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 dust. The vehicle had only 2,000 or so miles on it at the time. I believe my truck only has about 3,200 miles on it right now, but i cannot really tell because i cant' see the odometer. I have read various complaints on this site regarding this model and many of them apply to me as well.
Recall stating my brake pedal may fall off which can be dangerous to myself and 2 kids or other drivers on the road.
Truck was in motion on a city street at 40mph.approached a stop light and the warning lights on the dashboard started going off (all of them).the windshield wipers went on and off by themselves, blinks didn't work, hazards didn't work, the rpm and mph gauges kept going up and down.the brakes didn't work so i had to use the emergency brake to stop.pulled into a parking lot, shut the vehicle off, waited 5 minutes and started it up again.same thing happened.shut the vehicle off and waited 10 minutes, started it back up and this time only the check engine light came on.i made it home 2 miles down the road.the first business day available, the dealer came and picked up the truck.it has been with the dealership for the week.the called the other day and said something is wrong, they are unable to start the vehicle up now.they are waiting for an engineer to review it from the manufacturer.

The contact owns a 2019 ram 1500. The contact received a second recall notice for nhtsa campaign number: 19v067000 (service brakes, hydraulic). Ron carter chrysler jeep dodge ram of league city (3535 gulf fwy, dickinson, tx 77539, 281-488-4060) indicated that the part was not available. The dealer also indicated that more than 100 consumers were on a waiting list and they were receiving two parts per month from the manufacturer. The manufacturer was contacted. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
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.
Since purchase my 2019 ram truck has lots of issues with the 12 inch screen. It controls everything on the truck.

For the second time in 3 months, while i was driving down the highway all my dash lights just came on and my truck started to accelerate on its own even with both feet off both pedals. Traction light, abs light, parking light, throttle sensor light, and check engine light all stay on. (have picture and video) passenger side headlight also stopped working. Took to ram dealership october i believe and they said pcm needed an update and they did that. Also replaced whole passenger headlight housing. Well yesterday december 15th same thing happened and i almost got into a wreck. Lights came on so i went to brake and pull over, nothing happened. Truck actually accelerated on its own from 40mph to 60mph. Took to dealership first thing this morning and they said they have no record of fixing any of these issues... Wanted me to leave my truck for an unknown amount of time and but they couldn't get me a loaner or anything to get me to work. Said there was nothing they can do until i have time to leave it, pretty [xxx] so now im driving an unsafe truck on the highway to and from work. Kids and wife also drive/ride in this truck.

I would have selected other issues above but it only allows three. Driving with family on vacation when all electrical on dash starting going crazy. Every light on dash was flashing, gauges were bouncing all over, hazards wouldn't turn on, loss of power steering, loss of brakes, wipers sped up, transmission trying to shift gears, airbag lights were on, transmission slammed in to park once vehicle was under 5 mph, and shut itself off. Had to have vehicle towed to york chrysler in crawfordsville, in. This was on thursday july 30. I had taken vehicle to bosak motors in merrillville, in on friday july 24 due to same issue and was told they couldn't find the issue. I managed to videotape the issue while it was happening. I also looked online and found a couple videos of other ram 1500 doing the same thing.
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.
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.
Started with telling me my tire was flat. I pulled over on the side of the highway which is dangerous and the tire was full of air.then told me elcectroic brakes needed to be serviced. Not too long after that it kept telling me the four wheel drive is not working. I have never put the truck in four wheel drive. Also the abs service light was flashing. Took it back to dealership 4 days after i bought it and they took it into their shop and 'fixed' it in a few minutes. Very next day everything started again. Took it back to dealership and they have kept it over the weekend. When i called them at lunch on friday telling them i was bringing it back they asked me to wait til next week to bring it. This is their second chance to get it right. It has been a nightmare. I bought a truck because i have a small farm and i need it to feed and water my animals. They have had to go without water one day because i haven't had my truck 3 out of the first eight days after buying it. Also they didn't want to give me a receipt from when i brought it the first time until i had told them i had already called the ag office.
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.
Loud squealing during light braking.
Location: state hwy 55, buffalo, mn, intersection with central avenuedescription of the issue:while stopping at the red light and applying the brake, the truck experienced a sudden acceleration burst. Even though the brake was fully applied, the engine was accelerating on its own and pushing the truck. At low speed (<5mph) and with the brake fully applied,the truck hit a stopped minivan in front of me and continue pushing it towards the intersection in bursts as i was depressing the brake pedal. After a few (three or so) brake push and release attempts, acceleration stopped and the truck (and the minivan) came to a full stop. The truck pushed the minivan for several feet.there is significant damage to a truck since the minivan had a bicycle rack installed. Except for the damaged bicycle rack, there is no observable damage on the minivan.after the truck came to a full stop, the traction control light was on and blinking for a short period of time, then it on. The front park assist light was also on. I was able to drive the truck to closes the safe parking location. I could not recreate braking related acceleration. Potential cause:a web search showed several reports of sudden acceleration bursts while applying the brake were reported ondodge / ram vehicles, including ram 1500.the description of the problems was almost identical to this case.safety concern:if i did not depress the brake several times which in my opinion stopped acceleration, the truck may have pushed the minivan into a busy intersection and cause a potentially serious accident.
I took my truck into the dealership for problems with the fuel economy being severely below the epa rating. While at the dealership, i found out that the dealership sold me a brand new truck with two open recalls that were unrepaired. I believe this is illegal.
Brakes squeal when slowing down from 45 mph+ down to around 20-25 mph.at lower speeds, the squeal stops.happens when going forward.does not seem to happen right away, only after driving for about 5 minutes or more.dealer could not replicate problem but it happens every time i drive the truck.
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.
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.
Since purchasing new, my 2019 ram 1500 (new body) has been pulling to the right when braking on the highway. Its not the crown of the road since the same model loaner truck did not pull. I have driven it for 5600 miles and it pulls to the right when braking on the highway. Dealers and fca are not willing to help duplicate or diagnose. They believe there is no problem. I am concerned that this vehicle my not be safe and operating as designed
Brakes failed to stop truck from bumper to bumper accident, i would've stopped in time but the brakes felt like it was sliding, it wasn't not stopping the truck. I had to quickly release the brake and try again but still manage to hit the truck in front of me.i noticed when i'm drive all day (especially in the heat) by the end of the day when i am using the brake, it takes longer to brake than it did earlier in the day. I assuming the brakes are overheating. Of course i am at fault for the bumper to bumper accident, claim number 31-22t8-87x with state farm.

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.

While driving,usually slowing from highway speed,all safety lights turn on on the dash board (cross traffic,anti collision,rear parking,ignition,stabilitrak,check engine).also vehicle loses power and you can not accelerate.engine runs on (assuming) 4 cylinders as it starts shaking like itā€™s misfiring.after you pull over and restart the engine all lights clear except check engine.vehicle than runs normal.check engine has cleared twice on me.once after about 30 and second time after about 50 miles.in both instances i was away from home and had to drive back.the other few times was only a few miles away from dealer.vehicle is currently at the dealer (7th time) with 35775 miles.multiple tickets have been opened with fca.in my own research i have found online forums with identical issues.the dealer is at the liss.their techs canā€™t figure it out.they have replaced multiple parts but the issue remains. Note:your system allows me to select three issues at the start of this form but i have three more under adas category that i was unable to select.
When rearsensor is activated, and backing up, automatic brake goes off without reason, causing safety concern. I believe this occurs when backing on grade (even slightly) like a driveway. Happens constantly. Only fix : deactivated rear braking option.
The contact owns a 2019 ram 1500. The contact received recall notifications for nhtsa campaign numbers: 19v020000 (steering) and 19v067000 (service brakes, hydraulic). Apple chrysler dodge jeep ram of hanover (200 eisenhower dr, hanover, pa 17331, 717-637-1101) was unable to schedule an appointment within a reasonable time frame due to the part being on a nation-wide backorder.

02/05/19: brake recall (* source: www.mopar.com)'an adjustable brake pedal assembly that allows the brake pedal adjustment to over travel could cause the brake pedal to become separated from the pedal assembly. If the brake pedal separates from the adjustable pedal assembly, the driver may be unable to use the brake pedal to apply the service brakes, which can cause vehicle crash without prior warning.'i've called three local dealerships and all have expressed that there are no parts available at this time from fca as of today (02/23/19).this doesn't seem acceptable as this recall was issued nearly three weeks ago.
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.
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 is mine has the smaller screen in the video. It is an ongoing issue with a start date about 2 months after i purchased the vehicle and after the dealer "flashed" the programming due to a recall.
To whom it may concern, in may 2020, i rented a 2019 dodge ram to facilitate a move from illinois to florida.8 hours into the journey, the vehicle erupted into flames, nearly killing my son, fianc, myself and our puppy.fortunately, someone driving behind us flagged us down when they noticed black smoke coming from the vehicle.we were able to safely escape, called 911, then had to watch as all of our personal effects and some valuables were destroyed by fire.that was on may 31, 2020, inspections were performed on the vehicle, with ram being one of the parties involved in the inspection process.unfortunately, the inspectors were unable to definitively say what happened, although they theorized that the rear, drivers side caliper may have seized up, resulting in the fire.either way, nothing we could have done differently.while i am relieved that we were able to escape harm, it's upsetting that all of our keepsakes, personal effects and some valuables were destroyed.to add to the heartbreak, we have yet to hear from anyone acting on behalf of ram.considering the near miss we suffered, i would think that ram would show some compassion and reach out to us.very disappointing, i will never purchase a dodge affiliated vehicle (again) in my life.
This truck makes a grinding or rubbing sensation when turning and when turning and breaking.the sensation comes from the steering column and vibrates through the steering wheel.it is audible as well.obviously, this is a concern not only for me any my occupants, but for others on the road way as well as i do not know what is causing this rubbing or grinding.this vehicle has been checked out by my dealer and they do not know what is wrong with it, although they were able to experience the problem for themselves.they also informed me that this is a known issue and that chrysler is aware of the problem as there are many other trucks like mine with this defect.this issue started very sporadically and has continually gotten worse.
I was drivingon i94 eastbound highway, ipressed the brake pedal to slow down for traffic then accelerated and the truck accelerated at full downpower. I lifted my foot off the accelerator, but the pedal stayed on the floor and the truck kept accelerating. I got up to 105mph in no time at all, then pressing on the brakes as hard as i possibly could so i didn't hit the vehicles in front of me. This slowed me down to about 60mph slowing the truck down enough to move from the far left lane to the far right shoulder, with the truck still at 5k plus rpms, i then was able to put the truck in neutral using the shifter knob. The vehicle then displayed the electronic throttle control warning light on the dashboard. During this whole time the accelerator was on the floor and the truck was trying to out power the brakes. I then powered off the vehicle entirely. I was then attempting to restart the vehicle to get myself off the unsafe shoulder of the highway and the throttle was still stuck to the floor and was ticking with error codes reading on the dashboard. I then turned the key back to the off position and had to wait over a minute in order for the truck to start so i could get off of the unsafe shoulder. This is a huge concern and i have stock floor mats in my vehicle. Component that failed was the electronic throttle control system. Took to chrysler dealer stated nothing wrong with vehicle. I have video proof!*dt
I took my truck into the dealership for problems with the fuel economy being severely below the epa rating. While at the dealership, i found out that the dealership sold me a brand new truck with two open recalls that were unrepaired. I believe this is illegal.
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.
I am having an issue when taking a left hand bend at moderate speeds 40 to 70 mph the steering wheel will not return to center without considerable effort on the drivers part. When forcing the wheel back to center the vehicle will jerk to the right. The vehicle mileage is 6500 and has been operating this way since i acquired the vehicle. I took the vehicle to fowler dodge in okc and they say they cannot duplicate the issue and made no repairs. I rotated the tires thinking this may remedy the problem, but did not. Right hand bends are not affected only when navigating a left hand bend. I have researched this and found where the same complaint has been reported to the nhtsa at least a dozen times. There has been a recall for this year ram 1500 for power steering issues and i feel this is part of the same issue. I am not aware if a error code comes on as i am to busy watching the road. The issue happens frequently whenever negotiating a left hand bend. This is a serious safety issue.
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
Power steering went out twice and the dealership can't find the issue when the vehicle gets to the dealership. It's going out in the highway and the roadway
I would have selected other issues above but it only allows three. Driving with family on vacation when all electrical on dash starting going crazy. Every light on dash was flashing, gauges were bouncing all over, hazards wouldn't turn on, loss of power steering, loss of brakes, wipers sped up, transmission trying to shift gears, airbag lights were on, transmission slammed in to park once vehicle was under 5 mph, and shut itself off. Had to have vehicle towed to york chrysler in crawfordsville, in. This was on thursday july 30. I had taken vehicle to bosak motors in merrillville, in on friday july 24 due to same issue and was told they couldn't find the issue. I managed to videotape the issue while it was happening. I also looked online and found a couple videos of other ram 1500 doing the same thing.
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.
The contact owns a 2019 ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 5 mph, the steering wheel seized without warning causing the vehicle to crash into a telephone pole. The air bags did not deployed. A police report was not filed. The contact stated that there were no injuries. The vehicle was towed to southwest chrysler dodge jeep ram located at 2235 n main st, cleburne, tx 76033 where it was diagnosed that the racket steering pinion was lock and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided a case number. The approximate failure mileage was 7,500.
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."
Power steering stopped working in the middle of driving around a parking lot.the truck is extremely hard to steer around corners. It's very dangerous driving this truck with no power steering.
Lost power steering while driving twice.first time was 9/11/2020 dealer said a transmission control module needed to be updated.happened again just today 9/27/2020. Happened while we were on the highway.
Getting ready to make a left turn into my driveway, when the steering wheel wouldn't turn and a "power steering unavilable//service required " message popped up on the dash display. I am very fortunate the it didn't happen on a busy road. I was able to get it into the driveway ,but the "power steering unavailable/service required" light will not go away. All of the previous recalls have been performed.due to a previous wreck,there is no warranty on this truck, because of a reconstructed title.this truck was repaired with 1492 miles on it and now has 4347 miles.
Safety recall for steering ground cable was fixed by dealer and my power steering is still intermittently going away causing steering to lock up temporarily.taking back to dealer for second time to see if they can fix it.it is not safe and almost caused me to cross the center line at 55 mph and hit a car head on.
I own a 2019 ram 1500 4x2 big horn currently with 9600 miles. This has been an ongoing issue since the truck was new and i see that other ram owners have had a similar problem. When traveling at speeds between 40-55 and in a left hand curve with the wheel between 10 & 11 o'clock, the steering wheel seems to catch and not return to center without forcing it. When the correction is made it makes the truck jerk and feel unstable as it comes out of the curve.
When turning to the right the front left wheel makes a grinding noise similar to abs activation causing turn resistance and "understeer" nearly resulting in several collisions. When repair was attempted ram reported they were aware of the issue, but have no repair. This results in an unsafe vehicle to drive as the understeer could readily result in a collision.
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
Alignment is off and i only have 22,000 miles on vehicle and it's worn only the outside edge of tires alignment is off nearly 1.5-2 inches
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.
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.
Lost power steering while backing up a camper trailer
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.
Since purchase my 2019 ram truck has lots of issues with the 12 inch screen. It controls everything on the truck. The screen goes blank all the time and you are not able to control any thing on the truck , steps , air condition, heatetc....when the screen acts up the auto retractable running boards stay out until around 15 mph.also the ac and heat will automatically come on and you cant shut if off, no controls will work.i have 27 videos of my truck not working right and all dealer says is sorry we cant duplicate. The steering is also always off.the steering wheel gets off to the leftthen goes off to the right.dealer states it takes 500 miles for it to auto align it self to re learn center. Feel free to call [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
1st problem....steering column rattles loudly in-between 45 and 60 mph and at speeds below 10mph.trucks front end grinds when making slow speed right hand turns.also truck lurches, grinds and rattles the entire front end slowing down or backing upat slow speeds....this happens when brakes are not being applied.sometimes when i drive the truck the steering wheel stays off center to the right and pulls very hard to the right.chrysler says it possible the electronic power steering rack but they dont have a fix. Gets worse almost every day.2nd problem....i have noticed the truck has marks where the knuckle and the lower control arm are hitting each other.i understand the need for steering stops but these are not steering stop hits.these parts are structural parts of the truck that are not supposed to hit.both sides are doing this and i do not feel the truck is safe with this issue and it has caused stressed areas on the front end of the truck.this could cause parts to fail and have serious consequences at any speed the truck is going if they decide to fail. My truck has been to the dealership 4 times and was just dropped off again today.they said they may have to replace the parts that are hitting...but they are the same parts and it will do the same exact thing again.they gave me a 2019 ram to drive as a loaner and this truck doesnt have the air suspension like mine does.i inspected under the truck and found the same exact issue on this truck.i believe chrysler has a serious issue with these trucks that started with the design and they are not taking care of the issue.i have a $62,000 dollar truck i do not feel is safe and i am not getting answers to correct these issues.the date below is estimated when i took it to the dealership the first time.this has been an ongoing problem with no resolve from chrysler
Complete loss of power steering assist while driving on local street / in light traffic.power steering unavailable / service required warning appeared on dash.was able to control truck and get to nearest dealership.
When turning to the left the steering wheel sticks like the power steering goes out. When moved back to stay on road i over turn sometimes come off the road

The manufacturer was contacted. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
Driving at 35mph the first time when the power steering completely turned off. Now happens when turning the truck on, then power steering turns back on after a few minutes. There are other recalls for this exact problem on other vin numbers.
Lost power sterring twice. Took to dealer with a recall i saw about 12 volt battery ground fastener may be loose. Had it checked out and about 5 days later loss power sterring again. Power sterring did not come back.had truck flatbeded to dealer. They said power sterring rack was shot.have to wait about 2 to3 wks. For parts and repair.the truck has about 1600 miles on it (sucks). Was in parking lot first time,thank god.in driveway sec. Time
The truck has been intermittently experiencing loss of power steering. This situation has been happening after i stop the truck. Has happened 2 times now. Makes it extremely dangerous to drive and or maneuver to get to a safety spot. Also when this happens, it loses lane, departure adaptive cruise control, assisted braking & most electronic safety features.
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.
Steering make loud noise when turning stationary and moving and vibrates steering wheel. I have taken to dealer 3 times and they confirmed problem. Stated they are waiting on ram to get fix. It has been over 5 months and engineering does not come up with fix. I have complained to national ram to no help.
While driving multiple dashboard warnings appeared and the power steering abruptly failed.brought into dealer for diagnosis and repair.i was informed by the dealer the problems were corrected, these issues were apparently cased by bad ground connections, as per dealer.four days later i again had the same problems.
While steering left, the steering wheel gets hung up, and does return to center without forcing it back to center.
While driving 40 mph vehicle indicated power steering failure. Power steering service needed. I was driving and could not run steering wheel approaching turn. Almost died unable to turn wheel. Vehicle only has 10024 miles and purchased brand new. A catastrophic accident involving my family and others could have occurred. I have looked into this via forums for 2019 ram 1500 and there seems to been multiple issues reported with similar issues. Please please please follow up with fca to address power steering failure issues as deadly consequences can happen. Please do not wait on this.
Vehicle steering sticks during left turns at highway speeds. After vehicle has been driven for approx 1 hour, during left turns at highway speeds, 65+ mph, the steering will hold at approximately the 10 o'clock position resulting in unpredictable and unsafe driving conditions. Due to the requirement of highway speeds and approx 1 hr drive time, dealerships won't take the effort to be able to replicate this safety issue. Without replication both the dealership and ram customer service consider it a non issue. This issue is not related to the ground recall already issued for the 2019 rams. This safety issue is also reported by numerous other 2019 ram owners in online forums. Efforts to get this issue resolved through the dealership and ram customer support have been unsatisfactory. This is not a minor problem and could result in serious damage or loss of life on the road. Just because a problem cannot be replicated in a short test drive does not equate to their not being a major safety concern on these vehicles.*dtconsumer had the recall performed and the steering problem is still present. When the steering wheel sticks you have to apply some extra force to get it to return to center as well as sometimes it will hold momentarily and jerk back on itsown. The concern is the unpredictability of it and the potential over/under steer at higher speeds. Once the problem presents itself after longer periods of driving it will also then do it occasionally at slower speeds as well. There have not been any chimes or messages that appear on the instrumentpanel. It has been in to service but they have been unable to replicate. Unfortunately this issue has only appeared during longer road trips at interstate speeds with long leftturns so it is unlikely a dealer would be able to replicate it on a short test drive. I know from the forums that people with similar issues have had it resolved with the replacement of the steering rack.
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.
I was driving and my power steering failed without warning causing me to nearly crash on the throngs neck bridge moving at 55 mph . The dealership will not tow my truck because i am in new jersey. So they rather me get hurt or die rather than spend a few dollars to have me towed
When vehicle is at highway speed and going into left hand corners, the steering wheel sticks if you go past the ten o clock position.it happens only after driving at highway speeds for a period of time.it does not happen on right turns, the wheel comes back, but intermittently.almost feels like a wobble?
Truck was in motion on a city street at 40mph.approached a stop light and the warning lights on the dashboard started going off (all of them).the windshield wipers went on and off by themselves, blinks didn't work, hazards didn't work, the rpm and mph gauges kept going up and down.the brakes didn't work so i had to use the emergency brake to stop.pulled into a parking lot, shut the vehicle off, waited 5 minutes and started it up again.same thing happened.shut the vehicle off and waited 10 minutes, started it back up and this time only the check engine light came on.i made it home 2 miles down the road.the first business day available, the dealer came and picked up the truck.it has been with the dealership for the week.the called the other day and said something is wrong, they are unable to start the vehicle up now.they are waiting for an engineer to review it from the manufacturer.
My wife drove the truck home on a saturday with no issue. I warmed the truck with the remote start the following monday and when i entered and started it to drive, was unable to. The infotainment center informed me that the power steering was inoperable. Shut off and restarted with the same result. 1 year old and 8,000 miles and cannot drive it! have to wait a week to get it in to local dealer for a look and not sure it can be driven. May need to be towed in!. Vehicle was stationary at the time.*dt
While driving at highway speeds, initiating a sweeping left hand turn, like an on-ramp, the steering wheel 'sticks' to the left wanting to continue a sweeping left turn and requiring a significant pull to force recentering the truck. (describes like breaking a bolt loose). Intermittent replication requiring highway speeds means dealership is writing it off as 'normal operation'.
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 theweb, and found a few others on ram forum .comwith 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.*dtconsumer state the answer to did it take force to return the wheel back to center is not much force, maybe a pound ortwo of force. The other question about any warning lights or buzzers is nothing completely silent.
Just over 23,600mi of generally on-road use, the electronic power steering (eps) failed on a trail in the snow, nearly sending the truck truck uncontrolled into an embankment.the eps had first locked up during a 3-point turn - the steering feel was as if the steering lock snapped 'on', not allowing the wheel to return to center after being turned (to the right). No error lights were seen, so i chalked it up to a fluke.this then happened a few more times on the same day, at uneven intervals until the eps failure without notice.when the eps failed, a loud whining / grinding sound was emitted from the steering area at the slightest rotation of the steering wheel. With the truck off, the steering rack made a deeper 'thunk when the wheel was rotated manually and at that point, the eps stayed off, allowing non-eps steering to recover the truck.there's plenty of dashcam video which tells the story, static images don't show anything out of the ordinary.

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.
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
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.
Steering keeps intermittently sticking when turning left
Started the vehicle last night and got an alert that the power steering was unavailable. Power steering is not working. The car was stationary.
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.
The contact owns a 2019 ram 1500. While driving approximately 10 mph and making a left turn, the vehicle jolted forward and crashed into a second vehicle. After the collision, the front driver's side wheel was damaged and pointed to the left of the vehicle. When turning the steering wheel, the front wheels did not turn in either direction. A police report was filed and there were no injuries. The vehicle was towed to a collision center for repairs. Approximately three months later, the failure recurred while driving approximately 10 mph and making a left turn. The vehicle was towed back to the collision center. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the steering mechanism knuckle fractured and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The local dealer was not notified. The failure mileage was 3,000.
While driving truck at low speed, power steering stopped working, making it difficult to steer. Within a minute, the power steering randomly began working again. Over correction at this point could have caused a serious crash. Called dealership and was told to activate assist button to have truck towed because it is not safe to drive. Truck was towed to dealership for service. Was told there was a recall for this issue--loose ground wire in front driver fender area. Was told issue was fixed. Picked up truck. Within weeks, loss of power steering recurred while driving at 35-40 mph, then abruptly resumed in about a minute. Again, overcorrection at this point could have resulted in serious crash. My truck has since been in the service department at the dealership and it has been over 2 months! this qualifies it as a lemon in accordance with my state's lemon law. I'm told they are not able to reproduce issue and so warranty will not allow them to work on fixing it. Filed complaint with fca and a case was opened but have been bounced around to several case managers and currently no one is returning my inquiries. I have requested a full buy back. Feels like a smokescreen with nothing but delays and excuses. The dealership has been outstanding, but at the moment i have lost faith in fca and the ram brand.
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.
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.
When turning to the right at low speeds (< 45mph) the vehicle's left front wheel makes a grinding noise similar to when abs kicks in. The vehicle resists the turn and has resulted in near loss of control multiple times. Dealer cannot fix the issue and has been informed by ram that this is a known issue with no fix. This issue started shortly after purchase and has continued to worsen over time.from research performed it is clear that this is a well known issue with no resolution available and no action has been taken by the manufacturer resulting in a serious safety issue for those owning this vehicle.
Power steering on the vehicle failed to work with only 1,000 miles since purchased.
The contact owns a 2019 ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the power steering would ceased without warning while turning the steering wheel to the left. The contact stated that extra effort was needed to release the steering wheel to operate the vehicle as designed. The vehicle was taken to fernelius chrysler dodge jeep ram located at (11283 n straits hwy, cheboygan, mi 49721) twice however, the mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was 6,931.
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, andin 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!
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.
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.
The contact owns a 2019 ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 40 mph, the contact made a left turn however, the steering wheel failed to return to the center. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the tyson chrysler dodge jeep ram 1 sw frontage rd, joliet, il 60404, (815) 741-5530), to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the ground terminals needed to be tightened. The ground terminals were tightened however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the failure was not a known issue. The failure was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 2,500.
Was driving and my steering wheel locked up had to turn off the truck in the middle of the road.was turning in the turn lane while braking at the time
Power steering seems to lose power causing difficulty in steering especially in parking lots and slow turns.
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 paved 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 know nothing about that type of steering.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. Any advice? i have an appointment with the dealer service department in about 10 days to take it in for a look see. This is dangerous..my wife could not drive this vehicle.it would freak her out having to pull the steering back out of oncoming traffic.

After taking possession of our new 2019 ram truck i began to drive home. As soon as i came into a left hand turn the steering stuck in the 10 or 11 o'clock position when trying to return to center. I almost crashed into oncoming vehicles. I returned the truck to the dealership immediately and they said the steering was fixed. When i picked it up the second time the steering was still defective. Very dangerous. I almost got into an accident several times on the way home for the second time. The threat of overcompensation is a major concern also.
This morning 10/23/20 at 0530 i was driving out of my drive way which is 128 feet long.making a right turn on to the street and my power steering locked up.code on the dash says "power steering service due soon".i could not turn left or right. I had to muscle the steering and reverse the truck back to my house.my 2019 ram has around 14,000 miles.i'm sure glad i was not on a side street or the freeway.it could of been a bad situation.
Cars steering sticks to the left when turning left. Also, electrical system acts up at times. Mirrors start to tint, hazards go on and can't turn off, horn beeps randomly, and side vehicle alert comes on when no vehicle is there.
While slowing down from 45mph on a flat level road (over a bridge) prior to making a turn the outer passenger tie rod end completely decoupled from the hub's backing plate.i almost completely lost steering.had another vehicle been in the area, or had the incident happened a second or two earlier there could have been a crash or even a fatality.i was able to torque steer the vehicle around the turn and bring it to a stop on the adjacent street.i couldn't locate the tie rod nut - so i don't know where it came off.the vehicle was flat bedded to the dealer last night.there were not any warning signs that this part was about to fail before it did. The dealer claims that it only needs an outer tie rod and an alignment.
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.thisevent was extremelyvery close to serious accident.
This truck makes a grinding or rubbing sensation when turning and when turning and breaking.the sensation comes from the steering column and vibrates through the steering wheel.it is audible as well.obviously, this is a concern not only for me any my occupants, but for others on the road way as well as i do not know what is causing this rubbing or grinding.this vehicle has been checked out by my dealer and they do not know what is wrong with it, although they were able to experience the problem for themselves.they also informed me that this is a known issue and that chrysler is aware of the problem as there are many other trucks like mine with this defect.this issue started very sporadically and has continually gotten worse.
The contact owns a 2019 ram 1500. The contact stated while reversing out of a parking spot, the vehicle loss power steering assist and was difficult to turn. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact had the vehicle towed to his residence. The vehicle was not taken to the local dealer nor an independent mechanic to be diagnosed or repaired. The contact referenced an unknown recall as a possible cause for the failure. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and informed the contact that the vin was not under recall. The failure mileage was approximately 37,890.
When driving above 40 mph the steering sticks.it happems while driving into and out of turns.the steering grabs/sticksand has to be forced to correct.extremely dangerous on our 2 lane roads in hawaii.all of my required recalls have been corrected.this is a new issue. I have been noticing this issue since june 2019.
Steering- popping/ grinding noise when turning to the right. Slow turns in town and turns on highway ramps. Have taken truck to dealership with no resolution twice.electrical- backup camera stays on after putting vehicle indrive. Computer-radio-phone resets itself every couple of weeks since i bought the truck with no fix.
Speedometer and entire instrument cluster stopped working, wipers started working, transmission would not shift. Message on cluster stated to get where you're going and don't turn engine off or it may not restart. Driveability was greatly reduced, power steering seemed to be less effective. Error and warning messages from all the electronic modules flashed on the driver display in sequence. Dealer starr motors of suffolk, virginia indicated that without an active condition they cannot troubleshoot and repair so they sent us back out on the road with this vehicle. Error code u1817 is displayed as a non-active historical diagnostic trouble code. Hitting a bump in the road seemed to trigger momentary return of cluster functionality, with a return to non-functionality shortly thereafter.
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.
Steering sticks in the 11 o'clock position in left curves of 30 degrees at speeds of 30 mph or more.the faster the speed the more pronounced the stick. This is the sticking problem reported by many in the electric power steering, not to be confused with the ground issue total power loss.the problem was originally corrected at 1879 miles by the dealer replacing the rack and pinion assembly. Problem reappeared over the weekend 7/24/2019 at 35,200 miles. I'll be taking it to the dealer this week. It is obvious that there is something amiss in ram's rack and pinion assemblies. This problem could definitely result in the death or injury of the occupants of the vehicle or the occupant's of other vehicles. I find references on ram forums about this issue as far back as fall of 2018, the same as my original problem. I am highly surprised that ram hasn't found an answer for this problem.
After ~ 1000 miles the steering wheel does not re-center while making left turns - either on exit/entry ramps (broad slow turns) or hard left turns. Steering fights you to bring wheel and truck back to center. This happens after driving for at least 30 for 40 minutes and is only for left turns. It does not happen for right turns. Happens after and during highway driving. When turning right, the turn happens and then the wheels naturally re-center.this is hard to describe and a short test drive does not produce the problem. It has to be driven for at least 30 minutes mostly at highway speed.this is happening frequently..
Driving at 35mph the first time when the power steering completely turned off. Now happens when turning the truck on, then power steering turns back on after a few minutes. There are other recalls for this exact problem on other vin numbers.
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.
While making a slight left turn about 10 to 11 o clock steering wheel is locking up and have to force the wheelto 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 dealercrown 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.
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.
Power steering stopped working while driving it. I was going straight on a bridge at the time so i was in no danger, then it started working after about a half mile. No problem the rest of the day but then each day it did it more and more to the point that it has no power steering now. Called the dealer and i'm taking it in on 7/26/21. The warranty is out by 6000 miles
While driving for about half hour at 50mph or more the steering seems to stick when i make slight left or right turns to switch lanes or make small turns. Been to the dealer 4 times for the issue and they can't find anything wrong.other owners are having the same issue.https://www.carcomplaints.com/ram/1500/2019/steering/steering.shtml#27
Truck make clunking noise throughout the chassis while turning.
When turning the steering wheel right i felt a resistance and a grinding/rubbing in the steering system.this has happened several times to both me and my spouse.we have taken it to the dealer, and were told it could not be duplicated.the issue first happened when the truck was less than 6 months old, and just happened again today for maybe the 10th time at just over 2 years and 35,000 miles.
Power steering needs service on driver dashboard.followed by ps trouble light. Power steeringfailed. Recall addressing this was completed. Vehicle was in motion on city street!!
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.
Power steering starts and stops working intermittently and at random. Sometimes it won't work for minutes/hours at a time. Other times it cuts out and then comes right back on repeatedly. Vehicle is very difficult to control when this happens, especially when it cuts in and out during a turning maneuver. Each instance is accompanied by a message on the dash screen advising to service power steering.removing, cleaning, and retightening the battery ground cable fixed the problem temporarily. No maintenance or alterations were performed to the battery ground cable/contact before the problem started.
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. The mechanic was able to duplicate the failure. The contact stated that the mechanic performed minor adjustments on the front suspension and steering; however, the failure recurred. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 3,200.
The contact owns a 2019 ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds the lost power steering which made it difficult to maneuver the vehicle. The contact stated that extra effort was required to maneuver the vehicle. The contact stated that a message stating power steering unavailable; service required, was displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to hall chrysler ram located at (3152 virginia beach blvd, virginia beach va) however, the technician was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. After retrieving the vehicle, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 16,666.
Steering rack fails.the part has been redesigned 12 times to my knowledge with no known fix.parts to repair vehicles are currently not available.
Feels like the steering is sticking when turning left and right when turning.
While driving my steering locked up and i had a notification on my dash cluster that said power steering was temporarily unavailable and required service. It took me about an hour to get the truck to where i could move it. If i would have been driving fast, this could have really hurt or killed someone.
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.
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.
Power steering failure at 17000 miles while stationary. I took it to the dealership and they said they could only recreate it once and were unable to fix it. After 2 weeks, they had me pick it up. 3 days later, it happened again while i was backing out of the gas station.
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.
I was stopped at a right light, made a right turn and immedailty lost all steering it was locked in a right turn had to slam on the brakes after the truck ran up over the curb onto the sidewalk inches from driving through a brick wall. I shut the truck off started it again and everything seemed fine. I was 3 hours from home since everything seemed fine after driving another 30 miles or so i headed down the mountin to go home. Heading down hill on a very curvy road i lost all power steering on a corner and it took everything i had to keep it on the road and avoid driving off the side of a mountain. Exxtremely dangerous and scary. I was able to limp the truck home from there driving at slow speeds to be able to maintain control. I am driving a 2019 ram 1500 bighorn.
When driving speeds are in excess of 70 mph steering wheel does not return to center when steering on the freeway.
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.
Intermittent loss of power steering assist and an inconsistent steering effort, especially during lower speed maneuvers, when forcing the wheel back to center the vehicle will jerk to the right. The vehicle mileage is 14000 and has been operating this way since i acquired the vehicle late 2019
The contact owns a 2019 ram 1500. While driving 50 mph, the power steering failed without warning. The failure occurred intermittently. The contact regained control and took the vehicle to boniface-hiers chrysler dodge jeep (1775 e merritt island causeway, merritt island, fl 32952, (321) 452-8181) to be diagnosed, but they were not able to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 1,350. *dt
While driving, power steering unavailable caution followed by service suspension immediately.power steering is lost while driving and intermittently comes back or is lost. I have taken to the dealership twice and they 'can't find anything wrong'.this is extremely dangerous while driving at 50-70 mph on the highways and interstate.
On three separate occasions the vehicle power steering stopped working.one event was while driving the vehicle at highway approved speed on the interstate when the vehicle's power steering stopped operating suddenly in heavy traffic on a curve.the vehicle was extremely difficult to manually steer to a safe location in traffic.next two events happened at the start of the day shortly after starting the vehicle's engine.a message is displayed on the panel "service power steering".there is no power steering functioning when this error is displayed.with each event the nearby service center for the manufacturer has needed to keep the vehicle multiple days to work with the manufacturer on a solution.on another issue the vehicle was unable to drive forward or reverse on first delivery (within 100 miles) and again around 2500 miles.the transmission would not go into gear and needed the service center to reprogram the transmission to make it work.
While operating the 2019 ram 1500, the steering wheel sticks (does not turn smoothly or locking while in the turn) when your turning it left or right at highway speeds of 50-70 mph. While operating the above mentioned vehicle, due to the steering malfunctioning, i feel it is deemed unsafe to operate at highway speeds.
Steering is stiff when coming out of a left turn. Very reluctant to come back to zero almost as if there is a dead spot in the steering rack itself.
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.
Passenger side tie rod inner end outer separated and upon inspection threads had rusted and they pulled apart in a simple left turn.luckily it as at low speed, but had just gotten off the interstate at 70 mph.this could have been a catastrophic accident had it happened on the interstate.dealership and tow truck driver said they had never seen this on a 2019 vehicle with less than 100,000 miles.
Rear window seal is cracked in two separate areas roughly 12 inches apart allowing water to get in. The headliner above rear window has water damage.
I had noticed that the rear window on the drivers side would leak a small dribble of water after a car wash or a heavy rain. The vehicle was not moving at the time of discovery. I took my truck into meador cdjr in fort worth tx and they removed and replaced the rear seat and rear window. They installed a new window seal and replaced the rear seat. They covered this as a warranty item with no charge to me.
Rear window leak that let mositure in my vehicle and soaked my headliner
Rear power sliding window develops cracks at the top on both sides of the center glass. Window leaks into cab when moisture is present outside the vehicle such as snow, rain or car wash. I am trying to get ram/fca to fix issue but they are not calling me back. Many 2019 ram trucks are having this issue.
Rear window is leaking water at 31,000 miles it happens when i wash the truck or when it rains
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.
I am wanting to file a claim on a 2019 ram 1500 for a defective rear window.this is a known issue that fca has refused to acknowledge or resolve. The rear window frame is weak and cracks around the rear sliding glass.with these cracks, there is potential for water to leak into the cab of the vehicle. There are also issues with cracks and leaking around other areas of the rear window frame.this may be due to a faulty seal when manufactured.my fear is that this will cause mold to develop behind as well as on my rear seats causing potential harm to not only my vehicle, but myself and family.i also do not want potential damage to important electrical components that are located behind and under the rear seat.my truck is out of warranty, and i understand that there isn't much fca will do, i just hope that pressure is put on them to improve and develop a better design to prevent this issue.i would also like to see fca extend an olive branch so to speak to the customers who have this issue by either replacing the part, or covering a portion of the repair cost for those that are in or out of warranty.
My back window trim is cracked and has started leaking below the cracked area. 21k miles and it just happened.
Vehicle is leaking water through my back window seal, cab brake light and it has destroyed my headliner. When it rains or waking my truck it leaks every time when stationary or moving.
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. *dtconsumer 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.*dt *dtattached is the requested cdr report (edr data) for odi xxxxxxxx.'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).'
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.
Water is leaking into the cab of the truck from the back window.took the vehicle to dodge and they stated it was an issue with the window and seal and it shouldn't have failed like this.declined warranty because it isn't covered past 12k miles. Customer service via phone call on 5-17-21 stated windows are similar to brakes and windshield wipers as they wear out and that makes it not a manufacturers issues.the water damage is severe and causes a moldy smell and could comprise the live wires in the third brake light.there was no warnings and there isn't anything caused by the user.this seems to be a known problem that others have reported to the nhtsa and on message boards monitored by dodge inc.seat belts by the water damage had to replaced as they were locking up randomly causing child restraint to get too tight.
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.
My vehicle has been in service for over 6 months. They are unable to figure out what is wrong. My ram constanly makes a banging noise while driving. They changed the entire front end and the noise continues. Also have a mildue smell and pictures of water leaking down the inside of the windshield. Opened a case with fca they refuse to buy the truck back
Water leakage into the rear of the cab. Mold started growing in the carpet. Notice it is mor prevelent at seam indicating its bottom up. Also, moisture present inside cab when not driven regularly. Multiple complaints located on youtube as well. Noticed rear cab looks like seals are not seated correctly.
Ok we need a recall now this is ridiculous! give us a recall on the rear window because all it does is crack and leak, i am sick and tired of bringing my truck to the dealer for this problem and im sure everyone else is too so please do us a favor here. Second the manifold bolts breaking/cracking, seriously! that needs to be addressed immediately as well, thats all we ask for is for these two recalls.
Rear window has developed cracks in the upper frame allowing water in the cab. This allows water to come in contact with the electronic systems on the rear wall. Which have a possibility to short the system and possibly cause an accident.
Front driver side motor mount loose; causes engine to shake
Washing/waxing truck when crack was found over driver door jamb where the roof and the door surround meet.truck has 11,000 miles on it and has been well cared for and not abused.zero accident damage.fca has already denied the initial claim but it is reprocessing.absolute textbook manufacturer defect, be it in steel used or welding process.crack first found on 8/15/2020, no idea how long it's been there.
Cracked rear window trim where the window opens, damp headliner near the cracked trim area.
Mild to extreme vibration from rear of the vehicle but not limited to the steering wheel seats and gas pedal at any speed but worsens as speed increases.was told after multiple visits to dealer that everything is within spec. And they will no longer pursue the issue further.filed lemon law claim and was awarded compensation and was allowed to keep the vehicle.in my opinion the vehicle is progressively unsafe to drive and there are hundreds of complaints on the same subject throughout multiple forums (over 932 pages on the one i am a member of alone) and we are all being told the same line..flat spots on the tires..we don't warranty tires.

I have taken to the dealership twice and they 'can't find anything wrong'.this is extremely dangerous while driving at 50-70 mph on the highways and interstate.
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.
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 havehad 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.
1st problem....steering column rattles loudly in-between 45 and 60 mph and at speeds below 10mph.trucks front end grinds when making slow speed right hand turns.also truck lurches, grinds and rattles the entire front end slowing down or backing upat slow speeds....this happens when brakes are not being applied.sometimes when i drive the truck the steering wheel stays off center to the right and pulls very hard to the right.chrysler says it possible the electronic power steering rack but they dont have a fix. Gets worse almost every day.2nd problem....i have noticed the truck has marks where the knuckle and the lower control arm are hitting each other.i understand the need for steering stops but these are not steering stop hits.these parts are structural parts of the truck that are not supposed to hit.both sides are doing this and i do not feel the truck is safe with this issue and it has caused stressed areas on the front end of the truck.this could cause parts to fail and have serious consequences at any speed the truck is going if they decide to fail. My truck has been to the dealership 4 times and was just dropped off again today.they said they may have to replace the parts that are hitting...but they are the same parts and it will do the same exact thing again.they gave me a 2019 ram to drive as a loaner and this truck doesnt have the air suspension like mine does.i inspected under the truck and found the same exact issue on this truck.i believe chrysler has a serious issue with these trucks that started with the design and they are not taking care of the issue.i have a $62,000 dollar truck i do not feel is safe and i am not getting answers to correct these issues.the date below is estimated when i took it to the dealership the first time.this has been an ongoing problem with no resolve from chrysler

Loose rear suspension. Creates a wobble that increases with speed. Vehicle seems unstable. Been to multiple dealers and they say tires are out of line. I have paid for eight wheel alignments and the problem has been constant since i purchased the vehicle.

At 18:00 miles started developing a shimmy had tires rotated read balanced has not created the problem
Driving down highway when ball joint fell out causing to skid down highway, took to dealership in they said was a defect.
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 april9th, 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. This is out of my pocket to replace those.
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.
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.
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 is mine has the smaller screen in the video. It is an ongoing issue with a start date about 2 months after i purchased the vehicle and after the dealer "flashed" the programming due to a recall.
Third brake light rear window leak and plastic black trim is cracked on both sides. Causing water damage to the backside of my seats and i don't want any electrical to get shorted out by the water damage. It's been declined for warranty repair at plymouth dodge dealership. Have many other friends with the same issues and had him warrantee fixed by dealer.
My rear window upper trim cracked and started leaking on my 2019 ram 1500(new body style). I took to my local dealership and after it sat out in the weather for 3 weeks and had extensive water intrusion to the point of so much moisture in vehicle the windows would condensate on inside,i decided to take to the dealer i purchased at. Issue is still not resolved 1 month later. Nobody seems to care or listen to my concerns. Not to mention how much water damage do i have at this point??
While driving, the blind spot mirror detection device failed to operate at all.normally when a car is alongside you inyour blind spot, a yellow arrow would be indicated in your mirror.the yellow arrow failed to appear even during several tests of the feature.the consumer relies heavily on this device and the vehicle failed to inform me that it was not working.not working (no yellow light in mirror means it's safe to enter another lane).not working, not working is a recipe for disaster.
After remote starting the car for a few minutes, i got in the truck and hit the start/stop button and reversed out of my driveway. As i backed out on to the street, the engine shut off and the car shifted itself back to park. I started it again and after a couple of seconds, the car turned itself off again. This happened about 10 times. Finally it stayed on and i drove 6 miles to work. When i got to work, i hit the start/stop button to turn it off and it would not turn off. After a couple of minutes, the car turned off by itself. I started it again and it turned off after a couple seconds. After a couple more times it finally it stayed on for longer than a few seconds but would not turn off with the start stop button. I had it towed to the dealership.
While stopped at a red light vehicle started accelerating while break peddle was engaged.vehicle continue accelerating with heavy break paddle application.acceleration continued to the point of tire screeching and smoking moving vehicle into intersection.vehicle was stopped by shifting into neutral and shutting offvehicle.vehicle would not restart till third attempt. Vehicle was then moved to safe location and towed to dealer. Vehicle has been in shop for 6 days with no resolution.incident occurred in a downtown location with heavy vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic. Had it been as less experienced or less attentive drive this incident could have proved fatal.i will not be driving this vehicle until issue is identified and a solution provided.vehicle is two months old with less than 5000 miles.*dtconsumer stated dealership could not find any problems with the vehicle.
Touchscreen controls for radio, climate, and all other controls do not work properly. Any and all elements of touchscreen will power on and off from ac to heat to radio stations to random phone dialing. Also the vehicle will shut down while driving as if the gear shifter has been placed in neutral. Truck will not accelerate and remote start doesn't work either. Left rear passenger window seal near bed of truck also leaks water when it rains.
When driving at speeds above 60 mph, the hood flexes inwards at the center of hood close to the windshield. It covers an area of 10~12 inches if not more. This will lead to stress cracks at the hood and paint.
Loose rear suspension. Creates a wobble that increases with speed. Vehicle seems unstable. Been to multiple dealers and they say tires are out of line. I have paid for eight wheel alignments and the problem has been constant since i purchased the vehicle.
I am wanting to file a claim on a 2019 ram 1500 for a defective rear window.this is a known issue that fca has refused to acknowledge or resolve. The rear window frame is weak and cracks around the rear sliding glass.with these cracks, there is potential for water to leak into the cab of the vehicle. There are also issues with cracks and leaking around other areas of the rear window frame.this may be due to a faulty seal when manufactured.my fear is that this will cause mold to develop behind as well as on my rear seats causing potential harm to not only my vehicle, but myself and family.i also do not want potential damage to important electrical components that are located behind and under the rear seat.my truck is out of warranty, and i understand that there isn't much fca will do, i just hope that pressure is put on them to improve and develop a better design to prevent this issue.i would also like to see fca extend an olive branch so to speak to the customers who have this issue by either replacing the part, or covering a portion of the repair cost for those that are in or out of warranty.
Alignment is off and i only have 22,000 miles on vehicle and it's worn only the outside edge of tires alignment is off nearly 1.5-2 inches

The contact owns a 2019 ram 1500. The contact stated his son was reversing the vehicle when the vehicle lost motive power and began to shutter when hitting a curb. No warning lights illuminated from the vehicle. The driver exit the vehicle and noticed a glare coming from underneath the vehicle, when the driver looked underneath the vehicle he saw fire coming from the underneath between the frame welds. The fire department came out and to extinguish the fire. No one was injured. A fire department report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot, then later towed to a local dealer olivia chrysler center inc (2135 w lincoln ave, olivia, mn 56277 phone: (320) 523-2170). The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 37,000. *dt
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 of videos recorded when the humming happens, but all of them are bigger than size 5mb. I wonder if there any other way to show the evidence. I can do email to the agent.
12' screen goes black.i frequently and randomly. Sometimes turning ignition off reset the screen, sometimes it does not.them a few minutes or hour later the screen turns on. I am able to adjust some of the heat and fan settings with the screen black. Any other controls of vehicle functions or selections are 'inop.'this condition occurs when the vehicle is stationary, at start-up. The condition has occurred 3 time when in motion on any street or highway (speed)
The first issue was the airbag light came on when starting and stayed on since and the app said airbag may not deploy. The dealer said in mar it was safe to drive. In april the truck while engaging the cruise would speed up above cruise set or just turn off without breaking. Now no cruise at all and i am disabled so it would be nice to have that feature for long drives.i called again they said i was welcome to call hq. Now not even a month later i have no horn while driving and needed it. This is the last straw.how is this safe with no airbags or a working horn?
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.

I purchased a 2019 dodge ram 1500 i have been looking at this vehicle for a very long time excited i finally made my purchase. This dealership i went to sales rep was amazing took care of me made sure i got everything i wanted. As soon as i went to sign paper work i noticed right away the paperwork did not have the correct name or address on it i pointed it out to the finance manager ?[xxx]? told him this is not me and this is not my address and he said he would fix it if i gave him the correct name and address so i did signed my paperwork and took off. 3 weeks later i get a call from my father that my plates and reg came to his house and the truck is registered in his name and his address is on the paperwork. So go to the dealership and let them no what the issue is and no one has helped me i have been sent to sales reps i set with 4 different finance managers and also dealt with the dmv paperwork lady at the dealership and still no fix every person i talk to sends me to someone else and no one seems to be able to fix my issue that the dealership caused.then i get a call from [xxx] the finance manager and tells me i have to call chrysler capitol and i have to fix the problem that they have caused and i have to do what i have to do to fix it. I have not got a call from any gm or manager i have been leaving messages and nothing i don?t know how much more unprofessional this dealership can be it?s been 3 months and my own vehicle is not registered to me that i bought and paid money on this was a big purchase for me and i was so happy purchasing this vehicle now the last 20 years i have been driving nothing but dodge has made me hate the buying experience from this dodge dealership. This is the worst dodge dealership and the worst and most unprofessional customer service i have ever dealt with in my life once issue is resolved i will never be stepping foot in dch temeculainformation redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I have made several attempts to get this vehicle repaired after receiving this recall notification. V61/nhtsa 19v-407atthis 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..

To whom it may concern, in may 2020, i rented a 2019 dodge ram to facilitate a move from illinois to florida.8 hours into the journey, the vehicle erupted into flames, nearly killing my son, fianc, myself and our puppy.fortunately, someone driving behind us flagged us down when they noticed black smoke coming from the vehicle.we were able to safely escape, called 911, then had to watch as all of our personal effects and some valuables were destroyed by fire.that was on may 31, 2020, inspections were performed on the vehicle, with ram being one of the parties involved in the inspection process.unfortunately, the inspectors were unable to definitively say what happened, although they theorized that the rear, drivers side caliper may have seized up, resulting in the fire.either way, nothing we could have done differently.while i am relieved that we were able to escape harm, it's upsetting that all of our keepsakes, personal effects and some valuables were destroyed.to add to the heartbreak, we have yet to hear from anyone acting on behalf of ram.considering the near miss we suffered, i would think that ram would show some compassion and reach out to us.very disappointing, i will never purchase a dodge affiliated vehicle (again) in my life.
This truck makes a grinding or rubbing sensation when turning and when turning and breaking.the sensation comes from the steering column and vibrates through the steering wheel.it is audible as well.obviously, this is a concern not only for me any my occupants, but for others on the road way as well as i do not know what is causing this rubbing or grinding.this vehicle has been checked out by my dealer and they do not know what is wrong with it, although they were able to experience the problem for themselves.they also informed me that this is a known issue and that chrysler is aware of the problem as there are many other trucks like mine with this defect.this issue started very sporadically and has continually gotten worse.
While driving all dash warning lights will come on, windshield wipers come on, power steering stops working, brakes extremely hard to stop vehicle. Warnings states do not turn off vehicle as it may not start again or go into gear.this has happened on two occasions. Have taken truck to dealer on both instances and am advised there are no issues. Last time this happened i took video of everything that was happening and provided to dealer.
I was backing out of my driveway two days ago and the truck switched to the park position on its own while i was reversing and it would not get out of the park position even after i pressed the brakes and i tried to move the shift knob, so i wasstuck in the middle of the street for five minutes trying to get the truck to move to the reverse position again. Today, i was driving to the store and the truck switched to park position on its own and came to a stop while i was driving. The engine was revving up and i pressed the brakes to switch it back to park and it would not let me switch. After a minute i turned the truck off and turned it back on to try and put it back in the drive position so i could get out of the middle of the road. Can someone please help with any information, i'm afraid that this will occur again and cause an accident.
Vehicle has a "shimmy" at highway speeds, several dealerships have inspected the vehicle and agree that there is a "shimmy" but cannot find anything wrong with the vehicle. Tires have been balanced, replaced. Nothing makes a difference.
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.
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!!
My vehicle has been in service for over 6 months. They are unable to figure out what is wrong. My ram constanly makes a banging noise while driving. They changed the entire front end and the noise continues. Also have a mildue smell and pictures of water leaking down the inside of the windshield. Opened a case with fca they refuse to buy the truck back
Front bumper on driver's side is sitting lower than passenger side.
Sudden loss of engine oil due to engine mounting bracket breaking away from frame causing engine to drop puncturing the oil filter. 7 quarts of oil pumped out all over the hot exhaust and onto the right front brake assembly. When i saw the smoke i slowed down and tried to get to a safe stopping point off of the highway. By the time i got there the low oil pressure indicator came on. When i finally came to a complete stop oil was everywhere under and on the vehicle.i shut the engine off and got out thinking it may be on fire. Thankfully it was not. I also hope there is no engine damage. I called the dealer and had it towed to there shop. I was informed there was an incomplete weld on the frame bracket causing this failure. This sounds like a manufacturing defect to me! i,am not happy with the repairs the dealer is proposing. This truck is 2 years old and has 18,000 miles.*dt
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.
Water enters vehicle through rear window. Stress cracks form in plastic frame of rear window. These then crack and water gets in vehicle can causes mold to grow. Ram replaced window and the new one already had stress marks on them. This is am ongoing issue that needs to be taken care of.
The car is off and the radio turns on by itself.while the car is in motion the airconditioner works occasionally (not very often) and when the ac goes out the power windows go out as well. The warning sensors on side do not work either.
Crack in rear window frame
I have an open recall on my vehicle. I took it to my local dealer, boulder ram, and they refused to service my vehicle because i did not purchase it from them. Shouldn't any authorized dealer be required to repair a vehicle with an open recall? i have a call into fca but they have yet to respond.
Rear window has began to crack from the inside and a lot of water comes in to the rear. My seats get wet and also the carpet of the truck. Starting to smell and might have mold. The headliner also gets water. My concern is that it may build up mold throughout time. Fca is unwilling to replace the window outside of the bumper to bumper warranty even though this is a major issue for the 5th generation ram and there are many others that have come across this issue. They have also knowledge of this and have sent out a letter to their service teams (see picture). The water can come in when left outside during a rain storm or simply going thru the car wash. Any water that hits the roof of the truck and goes to the back will eventually make it through the rear window crack and inside the truck.
While driving on april 15, 2021, stopped at a red light and car completely shut off and would not start back up.tried jumping car numerous times but still would not start. Had car towed to dealer and car still would not start. Dealer can not diagnose what issue is and can not define why car cut off in the middle of traffic
Since the first week we bought the vehicle we have had a burning wire smell. Took the vehicle to 2 different dealerships and they could not duplicate the issue even having the vehicle for 4 days. Scheduled to take it back and it burned sitting my driveway parked and off. We also had an issue of the vehicle cutting off while driving down the road. We were taking it back due to the display screen had turned blue for the radio and the burning wire smell. We were scared it would catch fire.
2019 ram laramie gear selector will show drive and not move until the rpm is @ 2000 and then slam into gear. This was after backing into a parking spot and then immediately going into drive to reposition the truck. This has happened twice. Once an hour after purchase and once the next day. I bought this vehicle 3 days ago,3/29/19.
I purchased a 2019 ram 1500 in june of 2019. In october of 2020 i got into the truck as i have done for over a year and started it up. As i put it in drive and begin to take my foot off the brake, the truck would auto-shift into park and cut the engine off. This continued to happen over and over again as i kept trying to put the truck in drive and go into motion. It even did it while trying to put it in reverse. I lmade sure all doors were shut, seat belt on, no e-brake and nothing was lit up on dash. The truck simply would not engage into drive and it was not user error. I had ram road side assistance tow the vehicle to a local certified dealer with ram technicians. This was on 10/16/20 and the truck was in the care of the ram dealer until 10/19/20. They informed me that they could not replicate issue i experienced. I then took back possession of the truck. On 11/12/2020 i drove about a mile from my residence put the truck in park while running into a store. I drove the truck about 900 feet and the truck auto shifted to park while i was at speeds of 30mph. The enigine cut off and the truck had to come to a complete stop before i was able to turn it back on as if i would if the truck was stopped. I pulled over and began driving again for several hundred feet. Again the truck shifted to park on its own while driving speeds of 30mph. This happened two more times before being able to return to my residence and call for a tow. The car was towed to the same dealer and in their notes. The tow driver experienced the truck turning off on him while trying to back it off the truck. The dealer had the truck for several days but told me they could not replicate the issue which has now been experienced by me and the tow driver. Again i go back and take possession of the truck which is now more concerning because it is happening while driving and they can't fix it.
Vehicle warning display on the speedometer isn't working. It's a 2019 ram with 45k miles. It goes blank or won't come on. Without this display working properly, driver cannot see any warning such as, door open, tire pressure or any important warnings. The vehicle is drivable but the warning dash on the speedometer doesn't work.
Rear window seal is cracked in two separate areas roughly 12 inches apart allowing water to get in. The headliner above rear window has water damage.
Mild to extreme vibration from rear of the vehicle but not limited to the steering wheel seats and gas pedal at any speed but worsens as speed increases.was told after multiple visits to dealer that everything is within spec. And they will no longer pursue the issue further.filed lemon law claim and was awarded compensation and was allowed to keep the vehicle.in my opinion the vehicle is progressively unsafe to drive and there are hundreds of complaints on the same subject throughout multiple forums (over 932 pages on the one i am a member of alone) and we are all being told the same line..flat spots on the tires..we don't warranty tires.
Contacted dealership at (787) 805-3000 to verify recall i had heard where my veh could be affected. They gave me appointment but said have no parts available. But if it could be serious in nature (reference recall 4) why are we not even told, to be safe with ourselve, family and general public, that we should not drive unit. Issue with ground could affected sterring capabilities and may even cause an accident and/or crash. Why not be more proactive for the safety of all people affected and general public.for two different ocassions while driving in traffic, out of the blue, my hazard lights turn on and i cant disable them. I've told this to dealer and seems its not a mayor issue. Even have suggected to continue driving without concern, really! i believe it's irresponsable to have that posture as a customer service representative. I am very happy with the ram truck, excellent unit. But this attitude towards solving issues like the one already described tells much about their concern of the general public. Don't know if this will make any difference, but i hope someone can take my concern more seriously and probably save lives. Thanks for your attention to this matter.
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.
Both sun visors brackets break and causes the sunvisor to fall in front of the drivers face when you hit a bump blocking your vision.both sun visors brackets that screw into the ceiling break loose inside the bracket and causes the visor to fall down vertically blocking the drivers vision.in taking the vehicle to the dealer, they had to backorder the item (30 days backorder)this might be a clue that this is a common problem.
The contact owns a 2019 ram 1500. The contact stated that the forward collision warning system failed to function. While driving southbound at 50 mph, another vehicle west bound and heading east crossed in front, causing the contact to crash into the rear driver side of the vehicle to his immediate right. The contact mentioned that the forward vehicle collison was on but failed to activate. The contact did not sustained injuries. The contact mention the other driver did not sustained injuries. A police report was filed. The vehicle was drivable and was driven to an independent mechanic collision center for the repair of the cosmetic damage and after the repair, it taken to chris myers dodge chrysler jeep dealer (27163 us-98, daphne,al 36526, (251) 621-8885) for an alignment. The contact stated that the technician completed two alignments on the vehicle but was not repaired correctly. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided a case number: unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 4,900. *dt
While i was driving my truck, the panoramic sunroof shattered. The cover was closed during this time. I was driving approx. 35-40 mph, with the temperature around 85-90. I was driving straight on an open road with no vehicle in front of me. There were no other debris from the vehicle, except for the shattered glass. I brought the vehicle to the ram dealership where i am waiting for repairs. At this time, the dealership is not saying whether it will be covered by warranty or if i have to pay out of pocket.
Rear window plastic cracked/leaking when raining or going through a car wash. Dealer fixed 3rd brake light and resealed antenna but window still leaking headliner and seats get soaking wet i have a video of this happening but it won't let me upload it
The a/c in this vehicle is terrible, and fca fails to recognize the issue.
There is a horrible roaring sound when you get up to around 50-70 miles per hour and slow down or speed up.it will be constant at times and come and go at times.talked to the service man at the company said there were constant complaints on this he knew exactly what it was but wouldn't say to me.is this a recall of some sort on these trucks if so i need to know im not going to pay for this due to this vehicle under warranty and just buying it.i am always driving on the road when this happens.
The door locks have hurt me twice now. The ledge of the door is a totally normal place to rest your arm. Once we get going they automatically lock and pinch the heck out of me leaving broken skin and bruising.
A/c does not get cold and have to close rear vents for it to push hard
I pulled into a car wash bay at a car wash in mercersburg pa i hand washed the exterior only. When finished i started my truck and the engine raced like full throttle. I turned it of immediately. I let it set a few minutes tried starting it again it did the same thing full throttle. I turned it off immediately. Called shively motors in chambersburg, pa for help and assistance. They gave me a number for a tow company they towed my 2019 ram 1500 4wd truck to that dealership. It is january 28, 2020. The vehicle was stationary inside a car wash bay. I had not had any issues like this before, first time. It scared me.
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.
Rear window is leaking water at 31,000 miles it happens when i wash the truck or when it rains
The main head unit lost sound and i have done some research and there have been multiple people with the same issue i have restarted my truck multiple times with no luck the sound was working just the night before i was at a stand still originally then started driving on a city road. There have been multiple complaints on forums for the 2019 doing that and hopefully they can figure out a solution to fix it a lot of people have said to unplug fuses but i shouldn't have to i spend the money on a truck at astronomical rate and expect it to work.
Found a crack in my rear window assembly and water stains in my interior headliner.
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
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
First, while driving, the vehicle seemed to slip out of gear.the next day i drove approximately 15 miles to work and while trying to park the vehicle automatically shifts to park (p).then while trying to engage the vehicle in drive (d) orreverse (r) the auto park system is activated and the car is unable to move.i suspect it is a faulty transmission problem. 2019 ram 1500 was purchased new (with 28 miles) on 23 october 2019.
The truck turns off while driving
The vehicle comes with a safety feature that automatically locks the doors when you reach a set speed, i believe it is 15mph.on several occasions, i, as well as two others that i am sure of, have had their arm on the door when the window was open and when the auto door locks engaged, it pinched us, and on three separate occasions, left bruises.i contacted ram and their independent reviewers said there was no manufacturing defect.i agreed with that but told them that it's a poor design, and at least change the auto door lock feature to engage when the vehicle shifts into gear.stillnot the best option but probably the easiest to just change the software.i currently have the auto lock feature disabled, but if this were to happen to somebody while driving, it could distract them long enough to hit something.
I bought a 2019 dodge ram laramie from city dodge in nj. Every time i put the truck in reverse, the truck grinds to a halt. In streets, driveway and parking lots. I returned it to dealer for inspection on 11.12.19. They had the vehicle for a few days. When it was returned to me. The service dept. Said they couldn't find anything wrong, diagnostics was good. Their service manager experienced the problem yet i was told its ok. Later that say after getting it back 11/18/19. My wife drove the vehicle and it repeated a different defect (the truck shut down) while backing up to driveway plus 2 times after that. I then returned it back to dodge11/21/19 and explained what happened. They then had the vehicle for a week. The service tech then couldn't explain what's wrong then asked me to "maybe turn off the safety sensors" . I then got it back on 12/2/19. They said they replaced the park assist module. Not sure if they tested the vehicle after. Later that evening while backing up it happened again. The third time. Iwent back to tell them it happened again. The service manager told me he s not sure and "their chasing ghosts". I said then why did you replace a safety feature if you don't know what's wrong. The other service guy said a similar incident happened to another customer. At this point i don't want this vehicle. I feel unsafe driving this vehicle. I still haven't heard from the dealer in 6 days so i wanted to report this so it doesn't happen to someone else
When driving, rpm just under 4 and truck slows down abruptly x 2. Today, driving on highway, cruise set, tapped brakes as i was nearing roadside construction, all of a sudden rpms nearing 4, truck abruptly slowed to 15mph. Pulled over on side of road x 2. Error msg 'shifter autocorrect active' the second time. The truck remained in d until turning it off. I turned truck off @ this point hoping i could drive rest of way home. It seemed to fix/reset itself. This is now twice this has done this. I am taking the truck in to be looked at tomorrow. This is not safe for myself, my family or even fellow drivers. I would have had video but i was nervous on side of highway with narrow pull off with semis barreling past me.
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.
While driving the vehicle shifted out of drive and gave a message stating to put the vehicle in to park and then shift to drive. This has happen twice and the dealership does not know why.
The gear shifting mechanism/transmission is faulty.i place my truck into park upon coming to a stop, and my truck rolls away with me in it. This happens intermittently, and could not be repeated at the dealer when i took it in for service.i was told to buy a wheel chock to use to keep it from rolling away.*dt
Transmission would not come out of lower gear while driving on city street. Had to pull off street, put into park then back into drive then it seemed to function normally again.
The air dam will not extend down after reaching the required speed, thus throwing a cel. Believe the motor is sticking or gasket/seals are dried and won't turn the shaft to release the dam.
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.
The backup camera displays black.it will not turn on when in reverse or on display.
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...
2 cracks in the window frame above the rear sliding window have appeared. The truck was parked in my driveway. There was no incident that would have caused these and they appear to have formed on their own. I fear that there may have been leaks or will be leaks as other owners have experienced.
My back window trim is cracked and has started leaking below the cracked area. 21k miles and it just happened.
My vehicle was in the shop for repairs. The windshield was damaged in the accident. Because the windshield was on national back order the repairs took way longer then it was supposed to. I am now out $701.28 that i had to pay for a rental car. I am looking for some sort of reimbursement.
Leak in ceiling head liner wet and discoloringradio screen died twice. Has shifting problem from 1st to second sometimes want my old truck back please
Vehicle airbag lights on startup stayed on. Dealer said ok to derive even though app said airbag a may not deploy. Issue sounds like the same issue as 2018 rams. Less than a month later the cruise control would speed up or turn off while engaged. When all of sudden it stooped working. Disabled..this is a necessary feature on a longer trip. Lastly about 3 weeks layer when i needed the horn, it too stopped working. 2 safety issues and its ok to drive.
2019 ram 1500 censer issue, breaks will engage while in drive indicating parking censer front or backthat 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 incidentwe 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.
Contact stated i bought my 2019 ram 1500 at the end of may about 3 monthsago. In over 40 years driving my recent experience was one of the most frightening. I goton interstate 10 here in houston, i was in the right lane and the motor vehicles behind mewere 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 followingday, 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. They also said they compared my pedal with a new truck and that there was an problem. I'm hoping for a call back.this is serious!i a very decent driver, i can't imagine a woman or older man in my situation. *dt *dt *dt *dt *dt *dt *dt *dt
I started my truck and before i could put it in gear, a 'throttle failure' warning message appeared on my dash along with several warning lights/symbols. I had no throttle response and the engine was stuck at approximately 1,000 rpm's. I 'limped' home at a near idle. I could press the gas pedal a little or a lot, and got nothing from the truck.

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 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.
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. *dtvin is not available*dt consumer stated vehicle considered for lemon law and dealer and consumer working on getting a new vehicle.
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.
I was drivingon i94 eastbound highway, ipressed the brake pedal to slow down for traffic then accelerated and the truck accelerated at full downpower. I lifted my foot off the accelerator, but the pedal stayed on the floor and the truck kept accelerating. I got up to 105mph in no time at all, then pressing on the brakes as hard as i possibly could so i didn't hit the vehicles in front of me. This slowed me down to about 60mph slowing the truck down enough to move from the far left lane to the far right shoulder, with the truck still at 5k plus rpms, i then was able to put the truck in neutral using the shifter knob. The vehicle then displayed the electronic throttle control warning light on the dashboard. During this whole time the accelerator was on the floor and the truck was trying to out power the brakes. I then powered off the vehicle entirely. I was then attempting to restart the vehicle to get myself off the unsafe shoulder of the highway and the throttle was still stuck to the floor and was ticking with error codes reading on the dashboard. I then turned the key back to the off position and had to wait over a minute in order for the truck to start so i could get off of the unsafe shoulder. This is a huge concern and i have stock floor mats in my vehicle. Component that failed was the electronic throttle control system. Took to chrysler dealer stated nothing wrong with vehicle. I have video proof!*dt
/purchased new 2019 ram 1500 limited . Took delivery 08/30/2018 and dint get off the lot due to vehicle accelerating on its own and then multiple safety lights came on. Service then attempted to repair by replacing throttle pedal assembly due to throttle voltage code. Picked up truck 09/06/2018 and while driving 09/07/2018 just over 24 hrs later truck then started accelerating on its own in rush hour traffic nearly causing severe accident. Multiple dash lights on with warnings and check engine light. Pulled to side of road placed in park then back in drive still wanted to accelerate on own . Turned vehicle off then restarted check light still on but no longer wanting to accelerate on own. Returned vehicle to dealer unable to do anything about issue. Less than 200 miles on new truck. *dt *dt ....fca's arbitrator has denied consumers lemon law claim.
On 2-23-21 my service airbag system light, service antilock brake system light, service electronic stability control light, abs light came on and cruise control stopped working on my 2019 ram 1500. The truck is under warranty and the dealership is making me drive my vehicle because they dont have the parts to fix it.
I was driving down the highway feeder road, and the vehicle in front of me made an emergency stop.i slammed on my brakes, and swerved into the lane to the right of me.a car was coming up in that lane at high speed so i hit the accelerator to get out of the way, and the truck accelerated at full power.i lifted my foot off the accelerator, but the pedal stayed on the floor and the truck kept accelerating.i then switched to the brake pedal, and had to use maximum braking force to keep the truck from further accelerating into the vehicle in front of me.the vehicle then displayed the electronic throttle control warning light on the dash.while hard on the brakes, i was able to work my way off the feeder road and into a parking lot.during this whole time the accelerator was on the floor and the truck was trying to out power the brakes.as i entered the parking lot i put the vehicle in neutral using the transmission selector knob, and the accelerator returned to it's normal operating position and the warning light went away.i then powered off the vehicle entirely.a minute or so later i got an email from fca uconnect that the vehicle needed service and the error that the truck gave.the vehicle was towed to a dealership.
Multiple instances, when using cruise control switches becomes inactive, will not power on and sometimes will not cancel setting forcing me to tap the brakes to disengage. On one occasion when using the set button it reverted back to a previous higher speed and started unintended acceleration, i was able to cancel by tapping the brakes.
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 dash lights go out and this makes the instrument panel very hard to see, even when backing the camera also goes dark,this happens when the vehicle is in motion and when not in motion.the cruise control does not always engage when the cruise is on.this happens while driving the vehicle.obviously the back up camera when backing. In motion.this is not a one time thing it happens off and on when in the vehicle.i do not have any pictures as i am usually driving when it happens.
Traveling around 35-40 mph i was approaching a stopped light. I eased off the gas and when the gas pedal no longer"engaged" the transmission the computer/software disengaged the transmission without my doing. No error was displayed and the knob still showed as in the drive position. As i pressed the gas pedal the rpms rose but because the transmission was in neutral it only revved the engine. I had to pull over, manually place the knob into park, then wait a few seconds then back into drive. The truck resumed normally after that. This is not the first time the transmission disengaged itself into neutral or into a lower gear. I did not try to force the truck into neutral while it was moving. The truck was in motion on a city street. The most important thing to note was the position of the gas pedal i had just eased off of it slightly intending the truck to slow down. Last year i had the truck serviced for the recalls. Today 12/8/2020 with 7900 miles on the truck i placed the truck into service for them to ascertain the problem.
I was driving in the city in traffic. I was accelerating at about half throttle or less, when the gas peddle went all the way to the floor (full throttle). The truck accelerated out of control, i tried lifting the gas peddle with my toe and it kept going straight back to the floor. I was braking and trying to not crash. I was able to change into an empty lane and get the truck to come to a stop. When the truck was at a stop the gas peddle remained all the way at the floor. I lifted the pedal several times with my toe and it would fall back to full throttle. I shifted to park and the peddle returned to its normal level. After this happened the truck will not go any higher than 4th gear now and got towed to the dealership.
On 12/10/19 the driver was driving a 2019 dodge ram 1500 when the accelerator got stuck and he could not slow down. The driver tried pressing the accelerator to release it but this did not work. The driver then tried to press on the brakes but the vehicle was accelerator faster than it could stop. The driver than ran head first into a parking garage wall totaling the dodge ram. All airbags were deployed and there was major front end damage. *dtno police report due to private property. There is a report through towne park and hilton located at 401 north high st.

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.
The first issue was the airbag light came on when starting and stayed on since and the app said airbag may not deploy. The dealer said in mar it was safe to drive. In april the truck while engaging the cruise would speed up above cruise set or just turn off without breaking. Now no cruise at all and i am disabled so it would be nice to have that feature for long drives.i called again they said i was welcome to call hq. Now not even a month later i have no horn while driving and needed it. This is the last straw.how is this safe with no airbags or a working horn?
Transmission automatically disengaging on it's own while driving at speed of 30-40mph. Vehicle was being driven in rush hour traffic for at least 25 minutes at the approx speed on highway. No snow, transmission was in 2wd entire time. This has happened multiple times now with the vehicle. No errors were displayed, vehicle was already taken in to dodge for repair with no faults found. I contacted dodge and they did not believe me. I now have video proof of the truck and witness of the truck disengaging the transmission on it's own. I did not manually change anything.i have one other video from my passenger that i did not uploadthis is the second time i've reported this but the first with actual video evidencehttps://www.facebook.com/wesley.goad.94/videos/5831564673527699https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdpgq0z1ags
For the second time in 3 months, while i was driving down the highway all my dash lights just came on and my truck started to accelerate on its own even with both feet off both pedals. Traction light, abs light, parking light, throttle sensor light, and check engine light all stay on. (have picture and video) passenger side headlight also stopped working. Took to ram dealership october i believe and they said pcm needed an update and they did that. Also replaced whole passenger headlight housing. Well yesterday december 15th same thing happened and i almost got into a wreck. Lights came on so i went to brake and pull over, nothing happened. Truck actually accelerated on its own from 40mph to 60mph. Took to dealership first thing this morning and they said they have no record of fixing any of these issues... Wanted me to leave my truck for an unknown amount of time and but they couldn't get me a loaner or anything to get me to work. Said there was nothing they can do until i have time to leave it, pretty [xxx] so now im driving an unsafe truck on the highway to and from work. Kids and wife also drive/ride in this truck. (it wont let me upload the video)information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I was driving forward at approximately 20 mph. I attempted to slow down by letting off the accelerator pedal, but the truck kept going. I was able to stop, by using the brake, but if i let off the brake, the truck would accelerate. I drove to dealership without using the accelerator pedal. The truck was literally stuck at 1500 rpm's. A 'throttle failure' message appeared on the dash, along with basically every warning light and symbol.
Cruise control button on steering wheel sometimes wont turn the cruise on especially when its cooler outside and when first turning truck on you have to push the button like time times for it to register it while driving.

Automatic folding side mirrors have failed 3 times on my ram within the last 3 years. The internal components seem to fail and cause the mirror to fail to fold in and fold out properly which causes a loss of visibility. I've had both mirrors replaced so it is not specific to one side.
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.
I had noticed that the rear window on the drivers side would leak a small dribble of water after a car wash or a heavy rain. The vehicle was not moving at the time of discovery. I took my truck into meador cdjr in fort worth tx and they removed and replaced the rear seat and rear window. They installed a new window seal and replaced the rear seat. They covered this as a warranty item with no charge to me.

As with an overwhelming amount of other ram trucks, my rear sliding window frame has cracked. This causes water to leak in through the crack when it rains. The water leaking in can damage the headliner and could cause an electrical short in the rear of the truck. An updated window with a metal frame would be much better than the oem one and probably fix the issue everyone is having.
Rear window seal has cracks.rear window/3rd brake light leaks water into the cab.mirrors fold but when unfolding they pop and keep trying to open even though they are all the way out already.these all happened without incident.
The contact owns a 2019 ram 1500. The contact stated that the windshield wipers moved slowly while driving in a storm. The contact could not see the road due to the water on the windshield.

The manufacturer and dealer were not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 424.
My windshield has been replaced 4 times in the last year.it is due to be replaced again.it appears to have stress fractures.i had a very small pea sized pebble hit is and it caused a crack that looked as though it was going to come through the windshield.
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
Water (rain,car wash, etc) is leaking through the rear power sliding window and into the vehicle and damaging the interior (headliner, seats). This is a known issue by ram/fca and they have not recalled them yet. This can be a safety issue when driving. I'm also concerned that if water sits inside of the liner can it cause mold to form? also can it short out any electrical to the window?when i noticed it happen to me the vehicle was parked.
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.
In october 2019, the uconnect system in my 2019 ram 1500 began to malfunction.it started with gps coordinates being misaligned to my current location, but quickly progressed to malfunctioning in all aspects of the system.on december 30, 2019, the entire system failed, rendering a black screen and no ability to control the critical functions in the vehicle (maintenance, lighting, climate, or safety cameras).without the uconnect system, it is impossible to modify any of the setting for the vehicle.
When vehicle shifts to reverse the side mirrors tilt down to show parking lines. When the vehicle returns to drive, the mirrors tilt up back to the factory reset position rather than the position previously set by the vehicle operator. The driver may not notice the mirrors are misplaced until they are on the road. This is a safety issue. The driver has can reasonably expect the mirrors to return to the previous position. All other cars with backup mirror tilt return to pre-set position. I have contacted ram and they claim this is the intended function of the mirror / electronics. My local dealer confirmed that ram says this is correct function and that the safe return of mirrors to pre-set position is only available with a higher luxury trim option.
Standard halogen lighting not adequate and is a safety concern. Have reached out to ram corporate for customer assistance and have been denied.
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.
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.
2019 ram 1500 classic. Every time small rock hits the windshield it will chip it. Guaranteed. I already have 6 chips in 3 months of ownership and 3000 mostly local-driving miles. This never happened on any other vehicle i owned or have driven
Speedometer and entire instrument cluster stopped working, wipers started working, transmission would not shift. Message on cluster stated to get where you're going and don't turn engine off or it may not restart. Driveability was greatly reduced, power steering seemed to be less effective. Error and warning messages from all the electronic modules flashed on the driver display in sequence. Dealer starr motors of suffolk, virginia indicated that without an active condition they cannot troubleshoot and repair so they sent us back out on the road with this vehicle. Error code u1817 is displayed as a non-active historical diagnostic trouble code. Hitting a bump in the road seemed to trigger momentary return of cluster functionality, with a return to non-functionality shortly thereafter.
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.
Wiper motor failure at 13k miles, parts on backordervehicle in motion, on highway
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.
Even though the defrost system seems to put out plenty of heat the fan or the way the windshield is designed, when it is cold out and/or i am traveling at a decent speed the defroster does not keep the windshield clear.it affects aprox. The last couple of inches that the wipers reach and then everything above that.this then affects the auto wiping option.there is a recall for basically this exact issue nhtsa campaign # 19v051000 but it does not include my model of vehicle.it affects the ram 1500 that have the 12" screen but do not have dual climate control.my vehicle has the 12' screen but does have dual climate control.the date listed below is just a general date.this issue would happen when it was raining/snowing and it was cold or close to freezing temps
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.
My wipers fail during rain. First event at 70mph in heavy rain....very dangerous.have stopped on multiple occasions. Dealer cannot replicate and hesitate to do anything. I have video but it can't be uploaded on your site.
#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.
Driver side wiper motor not in gauging properly, not working at times or only wiping the windshield half way. This problem happens in both stationary and in motion.
Steering- popping/ grinding noise when turning to the right. Slow turns in town and turns on highway ramps. Have taken truck to dealership with no resolution twice.electrical- backup camera stays on after putting vehicle indrive. Computer-radio-phone resets itself every couple of weeks since i bought the truck with no fix.
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.
At 18:00 miles started developing a shimmy had tires rotated read balanced has not created the problem
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.
I have a 2019 ram 1500 i bought last year that now has 20,000 miles. Within 5,000 miles, i noticed brake noise issues and took the vehicle to the local dealership in colorado springs, co (i bought the truck in leesburg, va). They told me everything from bad brake pads to rotors to mounts - after i refused to accept their claim of not being able to find anything. After taking it in approximately 6 or 7 times, they finally changed mounting assemblies, and the noise went away. However, i started getting a vibration between 45 and 60 miles an hour. I took it in again, and they said my tires needed to be rebalanced, rotated, and they suspected they had unusual wear somewhere. Of course, the person telling me this proceeded to show me my tires and noticed they were almost like new. He said they fixed it to the point it would only vibrate between 75 and 80 miles. Since then, the vibration still presents itself between 45 miles and up & now my brakes are squealing again.
Alignment is off and i only have 22,000 miles on vehicle and it's worn only the outside edge of tires alignment is off nearly 1.5-2 inches
Started with telling me my tire was flat. I pulled over on the side of the highway which is dangerous and the tire was full of air.then told me elcectroic brakes needed to be serviced. Not too long after that it kept telling me the four wheel drive is not working. I have never put the truck in four wheel drive. Also the abs service light was flashing. Took it back to dealership 4 days after i bought it and they took it into their shop and 'fixed' it in a few minutes. Very next day everything started again. Took it back to dealership and they have kept it over the weekend. When i called them at lunch on friday telling them i was bringing it back they asked me to wait til next week to bring it. This is their second chance to get it right. It has been a nightmare. I bought a truck because i have a small farm and i need it to feed and water my animals. They have had to go without water one day because i haven't had my truck 3 out of the first eight days after buying it. Also they didn't want to give me a receipt from when i brought it the first time until i had told them i had already called the ag office.
