ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TRAVELING IN RIGHT LANE OF 4 LANE HIGHWAY AT 55MPH. ANOTHER VEHICLE PULLED OUT FROM THE RIGHT INTO MY LANE RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. I LET OFF THROTTLE AND APPLIED BRAKES. NOTICED AN OPENING IN TRAFFIC IN THE LEFT LANE. TURNED ON THE TURN SIGNAL, STARTED TO SHIFT LANES AND APPLIED THROTTLE. TRUCK WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FOR WHAT FELT LIKE 2-3 SECONDS. BY THAT TIME THE CAR BEHIND ME IN THE LEFT LANE WAS RIGHT ON MY BUMPER. NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED, BUT IT WAS A CLOSE CALL. I HAD NOTICED A 1-2 SECOND THROTTLE DELAY A COUPLE TIMES WHILE MANEUVERING THROUGH TRAFFIC EARLIER IN THE DAY AS WELL. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
OUR NEW 2013 RAM TRUCK (SIX WEEKS) HAS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT TO GROUND IN THE DRIVERS DOOR LOCK SWITCH AND MODULE (PART # 68110866AA & 68155771AF) THAT ARE LOCKING THE DOORS BY THEMSELVES. DEALER ASSURES ME THAT THERE IS "ZERO" CHANCE OF A FIRE OCCURRING EVEN THOUGH THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT. THIS MUST BE A COMMON PROBLEM, AS THE PARTS TO FIX THE ISSUE ARE ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER AND NO ESTIMATE OF A FIX IS AVAILABLE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THERE IS A ZERO CHANCE OF A FIRE WITH AN ELECTRICAL SHORT AND HAVE NOT BEEN PARKING THE VEHICLE IN OUR GARAGE UNTIL THIS IS FIXED. THIS MAY BE SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO WITH AN ELECTRICAL SHORT OCCURRING. *TR

VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ENTERED MY TRUCK, TO GO TO WORK. SHUT THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR, AND THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR WINDOW BLEW OUT. THE TRUCK WAS NOT EVEN A MONTH OLD. I LIVE IN A RURAL RESIDENTIAL AREA, AND NOTHING HAD HIT IT, TOUCHED IT, ETC. TEMP IN THE 50'S WITH RAIN. COVERED UNDER MY INSURANCE WITH NO DEDUCTIBLE, BUT EVEN THE GLASS COMPANY HAS SAID THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. IMPERIAL DODGE IN MENDON, MA DUCKING MY PHONE CALLS. CHRYSLER., TO THERE CREDIT SAID THEY WOULD CHECK INTO IT, (EVEN THOUGH YOU KNOW THEY WON'T). POINT BEING, "WHAT IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING?" EVEN THOUGH IT'S COVERED UNDER INSURANCE, THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT! AND THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO MAN UP AND TALK TO ME. *TT
