Read complaints for RAM 2500 (2021)
I was driving my 2021 ram 2500 west at approximately 35mph when a oncoming vehicle a 2008 dodge nitro failed to navigate a curve in the road crossing center line of road hitting mehead on at a estimated 50-6- mph. (driver was ticket for to fast for conditions) it was a clear , dry day. The ram trucks air bag and seatbelt restraint system did not deploy/lockup . There were no warning lights , messages, or symptoms making me aware of any problems. The vehicle was towed from the scene, incapable of moving on its own. Vehicle has only 2000mi. The vehicle was inspected by insurance company and found to need a complete new frame due to the impact. 100s of people from police officers to dealers to service managers for ram cannot believe that there was no airbag deployment or seatbelt restraint. Ram had a independent person inspect vehicle and and within 48 hours ram sent me a email saying the rate of deceleration nessary to activate the airbag system was not there in thus accident. I really disagree with ram in this case as does everyone that has seen the vehicle. When a 8000lb truck gets hit hard enough from a 3000lb car to knock it off the center of road and up over the curb that should have been more than enough impact to make my safety devices in my vehicle work as expected. If this accident did not provide enough acceleration for my safety equipment to work i believe along with many others that something in design is flawed.
At a stop light after 10 min of normal driving on country and city roads my truck started smoking from front passenger wheel well. Smoke intensified and quickly turned black. Immediately pulled over and found flames burning through front passenger wheel liner and from around passenger side battery and intake filter. Fire was put out with fire extinguisher and engine bay sprayed down by fire truck when they arrived on scene. Fire melted through battery case leaking battery acid, parts of the intake filter housing, all surrounding electrical wiring and completely through wheel well. Was building in intensity until put out with fire extinguisher. Truck was purchased in june 2021 and had 0 active recalls. Truck was completely stock.
