STEERING
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?

VISIBILITY/WIPER
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

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, HEAT ETC.... 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 LEFT THEN 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). *TT

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

STEERING
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..

ENGINE
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.
