ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
My local Ram Dealership in Del Rio, Texas (Ram Country), has refused to repair my open recalls on my 2021 Ram 2500 Diesel. This includes the heater relay recall and the transmission dipstick recall. I have visited the dealership on at least 5 occassions and each time I am put on a new "waiting list". Ram Country has informed me that they get parts weekly and will call me to schedule needed repairs, however they never do. What can I do to get my recalls fixed, and finally closed. I get FCA recall notifications warning me to get my recalls completed, however again, my local Ram Dealer refuses to schedule a repair, and continues putting my on a waiting list, and has recommended that maybe I should get a new vehicle. For your information........I paid $75,000.00 for my truck 22 months ago, and I cant buy a new truck everytime the manufacturer refuses to make a diligent effort for recall remediation. I need help please..........

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
This recall has been open, and my local dealership has the part available. However RAM will not allow them to "complete" the recall, stating that parts are not available from the manufacturer. If the parts are available for sale today from the parts department, that statement cannot be true,. Furthermore, according to the NHTSA website, the "Phase 3" remedy, was to begin on 5/11/2023, and has not begun yet. This is unacceptable to have my children and family at risk of injury or death from vehicle fire because the manufacturer is slow to remedy this known problem.

POWER TRAIN
The transmission feels like it is shifting hard. When you come to a stop and it downshifts from 2nd to 1st sometimes it transfers all the power into 1st gear hard and makes the truck lunge forward as you almost come to a stop. You have to keep your foot firmly planted on the brake as you never know when it’s going to happen. I have the truck for 1.5 years and it’s happened to me about 10 times, very intermittent. I have had the truck in for service x3 times and they could not replicate the issue. There was another NHTSA I suspect had the same issue as me the ID# is 11502531. This person described almost the same issue, and our VIN almost match, and both vehicles were manufactured about the same time in the same location.
