STRUCTURE:BODY
The tailgate keeps coming down while driving. I always make sure the tailgate is completely shut tight before I take off. This has happened multiple times. In addition the sensor doesn't always warn me of such. I have lost items in roadway which could cause an accident. I have backed up with a trailer attached and ripped my tailgate. I reported this to dealership when it first started somewhere around 2024. Should be on file with Dodge dealership in Mount Airy NC

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, ENGINE
On 3 separate occasions the truck has completely broken down while traveling 60-84mph. Each time, while in motion, the check engine and battery lights come on on the gauge cluster. Voltage starts rapidly draining from the battery indicator before systems start being shut down. Fiirst is entertainment, then climate, the ABS, then steering, and then all power and engine loss. I almost lost control the first time while trying to make it safely over to the soft shoulder. Each of the three times this had happened, the truck was completely dead in the side of the road and was towed to a dealership three times. The truck was towed to 2 different dealerships. The first two times to Imperial Dodge where they charged the battery the first time and did a software update the second time. Most recently the truck had been at DCH Temecula, for two weeks, where nothing has been done due to them not being able to recreate this issue. They recommended that I take video, while driving, as the issue happens live. This is a major safety issue in general but unacceptable that the manufacturer and dealerships only solution is for me to put myself and my family in jeopardy, and break California law, to diagnosis this massive unsafe vehicle.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Recall Statement – Fuel Overflow and Injury Incident Involving 2021 Dodge Ram 1500 I am reporting a recurring and hazardous issue with the fuel system on my 2021 Dodge Ram 1500. March 30, 2025: While refueling at a local gas station, the tank overflowed by approximately 3 gallons once it reached full capacity. I initially believed the problem was due to a faulty pump and notified a station attendant to clean the spill. May 2, 2025: At a different gas station, while refueling the same vehicle, a small amount of fuel again overflowed unexpectedly. This raised concerns, as it occurred under different fueling conditions. May 25, 2025: While refueling at the same station used on May 2nd, approximately 5 gallons of gasoline overflowed from the tank. As I attempted to remove the nozzle, I slipped on the spilled fuel and fell onto the concrete, injuring my right leg. At this point, it became clear that the issue was not isolated to specific gas station pumps, but rather a defect in the vehicle’s fuel system. This ongoing issue poses a significant safety risk. Beyond the environmental hazard, I could have sustained a serious head injury or worse during the fall. I am convinced there is a malfunction in the fuel system of my vehicle, and I strongly believe this warrants immediate investigation and a potential recall. This matter is unacceptable and must be addressed to prevent further harm to myself or others.

Bad bearing noise coming from MGU, part is covered under warranty and was told I can keep driving it the way it is. Seems like a fire hazard or safety hazard to drive something that could potentially lock up on the road. 6 weeks + for the part.

On 4/22/25 I was driving home from store and my truck down shifted to low and wouldn't come out of gear .the screen went blue as well. The truck has been in shop for 5 weeks and was told the truck had several codes that they couldn't figure out and the code are scrambled. I asked the service manager if the truck is safe and he said he thinks it should be. I was told by Stellantis Representative that they are trying g to get a regional engineer to find out what ls going on . I was also told by the Service Manager at Greenville Chrysler if they can't duplicate the issue they are going to release the vehicle. I told them several times that I have to be guaranteed that the truck is safe for my family and my self.

WHEELS
I had a low tire on my truck yesterday. My dash TPMS information screen popped up. While I turned my truck around I noticed the display said to "Inflate the tire to 50PSI". I checked on-line and found a recall for this notice, but my truck was not part of the recall. I called FCA and was told my truck is not part of the recall. I went to my dealer and showed them, and was told my truck is not part of this recall, and they can't do anything until it is. I asked how do I get on the recall list? Both the 800 number I called and the dealership said we don't know. I hope this gets me on the recall list for FCA Recall ID 30 Campaign Number 25V-231 Thanks

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Traveling down the roadway at 45mph. It had been raining for a couple of days. Engine completely shuts down, almost like a stall. Had to quickly pull over. When vehicle came to a slow roll, shifter auto shifted into park and engaged parking brake while in traffic. Disengaged parking brake, and was able to start. Pulled into parking lot and truck immediately shut down again. Eventually would not restart. Called tow. Tow company couldn't disengage parking brake. Towed to dealership. They notified me that my truck with 68K miles had a failed seal on back power window which allowed water into the truck, seeping into the RF Hub Module causing the RF Module to fail. 8K miles out of factory warranty and they denied coverage three times. I have MaxCare 8yr/125k warranty and they denied as well citing water intrusion. This is a well documented problem with these trucks as MOPAR Warranty Bulletin XL1 was released extending the warranty for 8 years,150K miles. However, my VIN didn't qualify although it met all of the criteria. This is a serious and dangerous electrical problem that effects drivability as it caused my truck to shutdown in traffic

The first time, the vehicle was, in effect, "dead," as nothing worked. After 24 hours it started without any codes being present. The second time, the vehicle stopped, shut down and engaged the e-brake. Nothing was thereafter operational. Four days later, it started without any mechanical intervention The only thing I did was remove the battery connections and then reinstall them. Three to four hours later it started.
