SERVICE BRAKES, WHEELS
PURCHASE TRUCK FROM A1 IMPORTS AND DEALER SAID THAT HE DONE SAFETY AND HE WILL PROVIDE NEW TAG WITH SPARE WHEEL. WHEN I RECEIVED TRUCK AND NEXT DAY WHEN I CHECKED SPARE WHEEL, IT IS WAY BIGGER SPARE WHEEL THEN REGULAR 4 WHEEL. I DROVE 300 MILE AND BRAKE PAD FROM FRONT PASSENGER TOTALLY GONE AND DAMAGE FRONT PASSENGER ROTOR TO. WHEN I DID COMPLAIN ABOUT IT TO DEALER, HE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHINGS TO CHANGE AND I WENT THERE WITH NEW ROTOR AND BRAKE PAD SO HE JUST REPLACE IT. I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK ON DEC-2-2020 AND I GOT TEMP TAG UNTIL JAN-2-2021 AND HE TOLD ME THAT I WILL GET MY ONE YEAR TAG IN MAIL WITHIN TIME BUT TILL TODAY IS 6-JAN-2021 AND STILL I AM WAITING FOR MY TAG. I HAVE BEEN TALKING WITH DEALER SINCE JAN-2 FROM EVERY DAY AND HE IS MAKING EXCUSE THAT HE WILL GET TOMORROW BUT HIS TOMORROW WILL NEVER COME YET. AND I AM NOT ABLE TO USE MY TRUCK SINCE 4 DAYS. I HAVE ALL TEXT MSGS REGARDING THIS AND HE IS NOT RESPONDING AS DEALER RESPONSIBILITY. I THINK THIS IS NOT A GOOD PRACTICE AS A DEALER WHO IS SELLING CARS IN GREENVILLE AREA IN NC. AS HE GIVE ME TRUCK WITH TIRE CONDITION AND BRAKE CONDITION WHICH IS CONSIDER AS MAIN SAFETY ISSUE AND HE HAS AUTHORIZED SAFETY INSPECTION LICENSE FOR HIS SHOP. THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR OTHER PEOPLE. I AM UPLOAD MY SPARE WHEEL PIC WHICH I HAVE IT THAT I AM GOING TO UPLOAD

THE REMOTE START WILL START THE TRUCK WHEN FOB IS IN MY POCKET. PROBLEM---THE TRUCK HAS BEEN IN MY GARAGE AND STARTED A FEW TIMES. THIS COULD GAS US IN THE HOUSE! I DID AN INTERNET SEARCH AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT. WHEN IN A CLOSED GARAGE THIS COULD KILL A PERSON OR FAMILY.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
LOCATION: STATE HWY 55, BUFFALO, MN, INTERSECTION WITH CENTRAL AVENUE DESCRIPTION OF THE ISSUE: WHILE STOPPING AT THE RED LIGHT AND APPLYING THE BRAKE, THE TRUCK EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN ACCELERATION BURST. EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKE WAS FULLY APPLIED, THE ENGINE WAS ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN AND PUSHING THE TRUCK. AT LOW SPEED (<5MPH) AND WITH THE BRAKE FULLY APPLIED, THE TRUCK HIT A STOPPED MINIVAN IN FRONT OF ME AND CONTINUE PUSHING IT TOWARDS THE INTERSECTION IN BURSTS AS I WAS DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. AFTER A FEW (THREE OR SO) BRAKE PUSH AND RELEASE ATTEMPTS, ACCELERATION STOPPED AND THE TRUCK (AND THE MINIVAN) CAME TO A FULL STOP. THE TRUCK PUSHED THE MINIVAN FOR SEVERAL FEET. THERE IS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO A TRUCK SINCE THE MINIVAN HAD A BICYCLE RACK INSTALLED. EXCEPT FOR THE DAMAGED BICYCLE RACK, THERE IS NO OBSERVABLE DAMAGE ON THE MINIVAN. AFTER THE TRUCK CAME TO A FULL STOP, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WAS ON AND BLINKING FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, THEN IT ON. THE FRONT PARK ASSIST LIGHT WAS ALSO ON. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE TRUCK TO CLOSES THE SAFE PARKING LOCATION. I COULD NOT RECREATE BRAKING RELATED ACCELERATION. POTENTIAL CAUSE: A WEB SEARCH SHOWED SEVERAL REPORTS OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION BURSTS WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE WERE REPORTED ON DODGE / RAM VEHICLES, INCLUDING RAM 1500. THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEMS WAS ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THIS CASE. SAFETY CONCERN: IF I DID NOT DEPRESS THE BRAKE SEVERAL TIMES WHICH IN MY OPINION STOPPED ACCELERATION, THE TRUCK MAY HAVE PUSHED THE MINIVAN INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION AND CAUSE A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

STEERING
I HAVE A 2014 RAM 1500 5.7L SPORT AND OVER A YEAR IT STARTED LOSING POWER STEERING. I TURN ON THE VEHICLE AND HAVE TO WAIT 5 TO 10 MINUTES FOR THE EPS TO ACTIVATE. IT STARTED DOING THIS ALL ON ITS OWN ONE DAY. A MESSAGE APPEARS THAT SAYS SERVICE EPS. I HAVE READ AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, BUT FOR SOME REASON THERE IS NO RECOLL ON IT. AND THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME OVER $3,000 TO FIX THIS. CAN SOME ONE HELP ME WITH THIS.

SUSPENSION
THE AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM ON MY 2018 RAM REBEL 1500 KEEPS FAILING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES STILL TO HAVE THE PROBLEM. AS A RESULT, MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING ACCELERATED WEAR AND TEAR ON OTHER VEHICLE COMPONENTS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE FUSES, RELAYS, BOLT JOINTS AND BUSHING WHICH IN TURN AFFECTS THE ALIGNMENT OF THE WHEELS.

STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE OWNED MY 2020 RAM 1500 CREW CAB 4X4 FOR 8 MONTHS. THE PLASTIC FRAME THAT SURROUNDS THE REAR WINDOW GLASS HAS CRACKED AND CAUSED THE WINDOW TO LEAK. THIS OCCURS BOTH WHEN THE TRUCK IS IN MOTION OR IS PARKED. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BECAUSE WATER CAN SEEP INTO THE REAR AIRBAGS CAUSING THE AIRBAGS TO MALFUNCTION. ALSO WITH A CRACK IN THE REAR GLASS FRAME THE GLASS MAY EXPLODE CAUSING HARM TO THE BACK SEAT PASSENGERS.
