FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
When fueling up the truck the gas pump keeps clicking like if the truck is full of fuel but it isn’t. The truck has a cap less system so there’s a valve on top of the gas tank that is supposed to let the fuel into the fuel tank once gas starts pouring in. The valve gets stuck and it takes a long time to refuel. There’s no way to replace that valve because it’s molded into the gas tank so it can’t be replaced without replacing the whole gas tank itself.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
My ABS module went out in my 2019 Ram 1500 Rebel.. My service “Electronic stability control” , “Service Trailer Brake System”, as well as “Service 4WD” lights are all on.. i had Auto Zone hook the computer up to my truck and it had 2 codes. C2206-00: Vehicle Configuration Mismatch and U0403-00 Implausible Data Received From T-Case. ABS module failure. I did some online research and come to find out there was a recall on my model truck for the ABS system needed updated.. I check my VIN online and says there are no recalls on my truck.. I’m having the exact problems stated in the recall and have the exact model stated in the recall. I was never notified about the recall. My truck only has 68,000 miles on it. NHTSA Recall # 24V-653. I don’t understand why my VIN wasn’t included in the recall. Thank you for your time

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Rear view camera first began blanking out in the morning, when the temperature was below 64 degrees F. About 6 months later, the camera began blanking out completely (regardless of temperature). The camera image is supposed to appear on the left side of the rear view mirror. Now, instead of the picture, there is an image of a camera icon with a slash through it (indicating lack of input from a camera).

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
The contact owns a 2019 Ram 1500. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the instrument cluster was inoperable. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring more frequently. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where it was determined that the instrument cluster needed to be replaced. A claim was filed with the manufacturer; however, the contact was informed that there would be a charge for the repair. The dealer related the failure to an unknown recall. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The contact had not contacted the manufacturer. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

SERVICE BRAKES
Our 2019 Ram 1500 has less than 40,000 miles but now diagnosed with Internal Failure in ABS Module and Hydraulic control. There is currently no ABS recall linked to our VIN but a similar ABS recall covers our 2019 truck year and Ram 1500 truck model (24V-653). Dealership and Stellantis Recall support cannot help and declined our request for appeal on this. We are told we can later apply for reimbursement if a recall is later issued - but this problem should be investigated.

AIR BAGS
I am the owner of a 2019 Ram 1500. An airbag deployment incident occurred and Stellantis initiated an investigation into the airbag system. During that investigation, Stellantis and/or its contractor Bosch extracted Event Data Recorder (EDR) crash data from the vehicle's airbag control module using Bosch Crash Data Retrieval (CDR) equipment. Despite multiple requests, Stellantis has refused to provide the extracted EDR data to the vehicle owner. Under Texas Transportation Code §547.615, information recorded by an Event Data Recorder in a motor vehicle is the property of the vehicle owner. The data was taken from my vehicle, yet the manufacturer is refusing to release the information. Because this data relates directly to the airbag system and crash safety systems of the vehicle, I am requesting that NHTSA review this matter and determine whether the manufacturer is improperly withholding safety-related crash data from the vehicle owner.

STEERING
While traveling at a high rate of speed, the power steering light came on, and the steering wheel locked up and became almost impossible to turn. After pulling over and turning the vehicle off, the problem went away. But only to have the problem happen again, twice more creating unsafe driving conditions.

Water leaked into the cab from faulty rear window frame and damaged a key electical component. This component is clled RF module and controls the Ignition, locks, remote operations from the fobik. Imobilizing the vehicle, recall covers the Backlite rear window leak but not the damage caused, leaving vehicles stranded and imobilized. The repair by dealer is almost $2000.00.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Incident Description: I am reporting three recurring safety hazards with my 2019 Ram 1500. 1. Intermittent ABS/ESC Error: The vehicle recently displayed an ABS error message on the dashboard. The error cleared itself after the vehicle was power-cycled (shut off and restarted). This intermittent failure of the Anti-lock Braking System and Electronic Stability Control is a severe safety risk, as the system could fail during an emergency braking event. My VIN is currently excluded from Recall 24V-653, despite my vehicle exhibiting the exact symptoms described. 2. Unintended Forward Lunging: Before reaching operating temperature (cold start), the truck abruptly lunges forward while idling or under light braking. This occurs without driver input and has been reported by numerous other Ram owners as a cause for rear-end collisions. 3. "Shift into P than Desire Gear" Error: While coming to a stop, the dashboard displays "Shift into P than Desire Gear," and the transmission slips into Neutral. This causes a sudden loss of motive power in traffic. I am aware of reports where this has caused vehicles to "lock up" or stall at higher speeds. Safety Risk: The combination of an unpredictable transmission (lunging/slipping to neutral) and an intermittent ABS failure makes this vehicle unsafe to operate. The manufacturer's current recall list for the 2019 model year is clearly incomplete, as my vehicle is suffering from these documented defects but remains ineligible for a recall repair.
