ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
Multiple critical recalls - 22V-904, 23V-060, 22V-140, and 22V-835. Two of these represent fire hazards! For the last several months they either didn't have the parts or availability to service. I tried multiple dealerships in my area. Getting these serviced has become extremely difficult due to lack of responsiveness or availability by the dealer.

Fire on sliding portion of read window. Short on connection point of wiring harness for defroster. Dealer verified and confirmed. All has been documented.

Sullivan of Yuba City refuses to do work or rectify this issue. Ryan Triebess, the service manager, has a personal attachment to online reviews and refuses work to any paying customer that voices their dissatisfaction leaving me with a truck that to this day is a fire risk.

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..........

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.
