ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE EVIC (ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER) SWITCHES DO NOT WORK SO I CANNOT SEE SAFETY RELATED ISSUES DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. LIGHTS ON CRUISE SWITCH AND ELECTRONIC GEAR SHIFT DO NOT ILLUMINATE NOR DOES THE EVIC CONTROL BUTTONS LOCATED ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE OF STEERING WHEEL . I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT AND WHILE TRYING TO SET THE CRUISE CONTROL, BECAUSE THE LIGHTS WON'T ILLUMINATE I HIT THE GEAR DOWN BUTTON AND DOWNSHIFTED TO 1ST ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE DOING ABOUT 55MPH ALMOST CAUSING A ACCIDENT. FROM RESEARCH I'VE DONE ONLINE I BELIEVE IT MAY HAVE A BAD CLOCKSPRING AS OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE ON THE SAME AND SIMILAR YEAR MODELS

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THERE WAS INTERMITTENT NON RESPONSE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED RESULTING IN THE OPPOSITE EFFECT ON A BUSY ROAD. ONCE WHILE ENTERING A HIGHWAY ON RAMP THE VEHICLE STALLED COMPLETELY, AFTER RESTARTING THERE WAS INTERMITTENT NON RESPONSE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. THE PROBLEM IS RELATED TO A CORRODED FUEL PUMP RELAY LOCATED IN THE TIPM UNIT UNDER THE HOOD OF MANY MODEL YEAR DODGE RAMS. THIS SAME ISSUE HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF RECALLS ISSUED FOR OTHER DODGE PRODUCTS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT DODGE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE LEAVING THE BURDEN OF REPAIR TO THE CONSUMER.

SUSPENSION
WE OWN A 2014 RAM 1500 LARAMIE. IT IS 3.22.19, SINCE JAN 4TH 2019 WE HAVE HAD 4 NEW COMPRESSORS INSTALLED AND WE JUST GOT OUR TRUCK BACK AFTER 1 MONTH OF NOT HAVING IT AND IT FAILED AGAIN FOR THE 5TH TIME AFTER DRIVING IT 15 MILES. WE ARE COMPLETELY DISAPPOINTED IN THE DESIGN OF THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION IN THIS TRUCK. WE ARE NOW AT A LOSS BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT HAD OUR TRUCK FOR 3 MONTHS AND STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON IT AND CANNOT DRIVE IT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A DEALERSHIP TO SELL A 28,000 TRUCK THAT YOU CAN'T USE OR DRIVE.

WHILE DRIVING FOR ABOUT HALF HOUR AT 50MPH OR MORE THE STEERING SEEMS TO STICK WHEN I MAKE SLIGHT LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS TO SWITCH LANES OR MAKE SMALL TURNS. BEEN TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES FOR THE ISSUE AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/RAM/1500/2019/STEERING/STEERING.SHTML#27

POWER TRAIN
THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE VEHICLE COASTED TO A STOP AND BECAME IMMOBILE. I COULD NOT GET THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND I WAS LEFT IN AN UNSAFE SITUATION AS MY VEHICLE WAS BLOCKING THE ROAD. THE POLICE AND OTHERS ARRIVED BUT NOBODY COULD MOVE THE TRUCK UNTIL THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TRUCK HAS 25,200 MILES ON IT AND HAS FUEL SENSOR FAILURE ALARM. AFTER READING SOME INFORMATION WITH OTHER OWNERS, THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR RAM PICKUP. EVIDENTLY THIS HAPPENS ANYWHERE FROM 5,000 MILES AND UP. IT IS A $1000 REPAIR WHEN NOT UNDER WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM COVERED AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRES. SOME PEOPLE HAD THE REPAIR 2 OR MORE TIMES. I WAS DRIVING UP THE ROAD WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE SAID EMPTY AND IT'S FULL

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING, FUEL GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY, DISPLAYS 0 MILES TO EMPTY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, AND SCREEN DISPLAYS "FUEL SENSOR FAIL". AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE THE GAUGE WILL GO BACK TO THE CORRECT LEVEL AS WILL THE MILES TO EMPTY, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL REMAIN ON. THIS HAPPENS ANY TIME THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A COMPLETELY FULL GAS TANK, BUT IS ALSO SPORADIC AND DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL OF THE TIME.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE SENSOR ON THE DEF TANK IN THE RAM 1500 ECODISELS IS FAILING. INSTEAD OF BEING ABLE TO BUY A SENSOR TO REPLACE IT RAM IS MAKING YOU BUY A WHOLE TANK TO REPLACE THE SENSOR. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MULTIPLE PEOPLE THAT I KNOW OF AND RAM STILL REFUSES TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT.

RUSTED FRAME, REPORTED TO FCA 2/19/19 , PRESENTED TO DEALERSHIP 2/25/19, I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT LIFT TRUCK FOR SAFETY REASONS, THERE IS A HOLE ROTTED THROUGH THE FRAME RAIL FORWARD OF REAR TIRE. THIS COULD BE AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE HAD THE RECALL DONE FOR THE GAS TANK STRAP, FRAME RUST, THE TRUCK IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE, IT HAS 74,800 MILES, NOT A SCRATCH AND A LIFETIME POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. IT HAS BEEN MAINTAINED. THIS FRAME WAS ONLY USED FOR A COUPLE YEARS, I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF ALL RAMS OF THIS VINTAGE DID NOT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM OR WILL SHORTLY I SPOKE TO FCA ON 3/14/19, I WAS TOLD THAT I COULD TAKE MY TRUCK TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, THEY COULD PREVENT ME FROM DRIVING MY TRUCK HOME, AND FCA WOULD OFFER NO ASSISTANCE. PRESENTLY A NEW FRAME IS NOT AVAIL COULD TAKE MONTHS TO GET, IF IT CAN BE GOTTEN. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MOST, BUT NOT ALL OF THE GAS STATION FILLING NOZZLES STICK IN MY GAS FILLER WHEN I TRY TO REMOVE THEM. THEY ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO REMOVE AND REQUIRES A LOT OF PULLING AND TWISTING TO GET THEM OUT. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME, NOT ONE TIME AS CALENDAR SHOWS.

SEAT BELTS
ALTHOUGH NOT REPORTED TO THE DEALER INITIALLY WHEN UNDER WARRANTY, THE DRIVER SEAT BELT WOULD COME UNDONE WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. AT FIRST I THOUGHT I HADN'T SECURED THE BUCKLE PROPERLY BUT EVEN AFTER ENSURING THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE WAS SECURELY LOCKED IT STILL WOULD UNLATCH ITSELF AND THE SEAT BELT ALARM WOULD GO OFF. THESE SEAT BELT LOCKING MALFUNCTION ALWAYS HAPPENED WHEN THE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION AND IT OCCURRED BOTH ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. THIS ALSO OCCURRED AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND AT LEAST 25 TIMES OVER A 3 YEAR PERIOD. I JUST TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AFTER THE SEAT BELT BECAME UNFASTENED TWO TIMES WITHIN A 25 MILE TRIP. A SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE REPLACED ON A 3YR OLD TRUCK WITH ONLY 26K MILESON IT.
