VISIBILITY/WIPER
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.

AIR BAGS
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

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) OR REVERSE (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.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING ON I94 EASTBOUND HIGHWAY, I PRESSED 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*JB

STEERING
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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.

STEERING
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.
