VISIBILITY/WIPER
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.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
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.

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

TIRES, WHEELS
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.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

STEERING
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 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'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. THIS IS DANGEROUS' MY WIFE COULD NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. IT WOULD FREAK HER OUT. HAVING TO PULL THE VEHICLE OUT OF A TURN WHEN IT'S TRYING TO GO INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

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.

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.

STEERING
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
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.

STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.
