EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE DASH LIGHTING AT NIGHT, WHEN HEADLIGHTS COME ON CAUSING A REDUCED BRIGHTNESS TO THE DASH LIGHTS, THE REDUCED BRIGHTNESS MODE IS TOO DIM AT IT'S HIGHEST SETTING FOR NIGHT TIME MODE. WHILE IT IS POSSIBLE TO MOVE THE BRIGHTNESS DIAL TO DAYTIME MODE, BY MOVING THE DIAL PAST THE NIGHT TIME MODE, THAT IS TOO BRIGHT MAKING VIEWING FOWARD DIFFICULT. I FEEL THIS CREATES A HAZZARD FOR NIGHT TIME DRIVING IN THIS VEHCILE.

ENGINE
I AM VERY UPSET THAT RAM TRUCKS FROM 2011 TO 2014 HAVE CONSISTENTLY BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE 5TH CYLINDER, (CYL 5 MISFIRE) AND AS TO MY SURPRISE IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR ILL BE OUT OF AT LEAST OUT OF 3600.00 (THAT I DON'T HAVE, AND DEFINITELY CANNOT AFFORD A NEW VEHICLE) SPECIALLY WITH ALL THE ISSUES THAT ARE GOING ON WITH COVID-19 AND THE ECONOMY. NOT SURE HOW LONG THE REPAIRS WILL HOLD UP BECAUSE FROM THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS, THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE DONE THE EXACT SAME REPAIR HAVE ENDED UP REBUILDING THE WHOLE MOTOR OR BUYING A DIFFERENT TRUCK (NOT RAM OF COURSE). I ALWAYS KNOWN THAT HEMI MOTORS ARE GREAT BUT NOW IM DISAPPOINTED

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES
ACCIDENT HAPPEN 5/20/20. WAS APPROACHING A STOPPED VEHICLE WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED. KEPT TRYING TO APPLY BRAKES AND NOTHING HAPPEN. IMPACT AT APPROX 35 MPH. AFTER IMPACT THE TRUCK STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS AND HAD TO PUT IN PARK TO STOP THE TRUCK. TOW TRUCK DRIVE ALSO HAD ISSUES LOADING ON THE ROLL BACK, BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK. WE TOWED TO OUR BODY SHOP FOR REPAIRS. THEN WAS TAKEN TO FAULKNER DEALERSHIP FOR EDR TESTING. NOTHING MECHANICAL WAS EVER DONE WITH THE TRUCK AFTER THE BODY WORK WAS DONE. BOSCH RELEASED THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP. TRUCK HAS 513 MILES AND LITTLE OVER 200 OF THE MILES ARE WHAT WE DROVE IT. PURCHASED WITH MILES ON IT. FIAT / CHRYSLER DO NOT SEE AN ISSUE WITH THE TRUCK VIA THE REPORT. I HAVE SENT THE REPORT TO A SEPARATE PARTY THAT IS NOT HIRED BY FIAT AND THEY INDICATE TO RESEARCH PAGE 42 OF THE REPORT ON THE MASTER CYLINDER BRAKING SYSTEM. WE DO NOT SEE ANY INDICATION ON ANY CODES THAT WERE RECOVERED PERFORMED BY BOSCH. WE KNOW IN FACT THAT THERE WERE MULTIPLE BRAKE CODES AND FEEL THAT THE INFORMATION IN STILL IN THE "BLACK BOX". AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED AT IMPACT OF 35 MPH FRONTAL IMPACT.*DT*DT*JB*JB

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
CRUISE CONTROL WON'T TURN ON AND BUTTONS RELATED TO CRUISE CONTROL ARE UNRESPONSIVE. LAST TIME IT DID WORK ABOUT A MONTH AGO THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULDN'T TURN OFF WITH THE STEERING WHEEL BUTTON, HAD TO HIT THE BRAKES. VEHICLE HAD ALL RECALLS DONE, THERE WAS ONE RELATED TO THE CRUISE CONTROL. FIXED ONE THING NOW ALL THESE OTHER THINGS ARE HAPPENING. THAT'S MY ONLY COMPLAINT, THERE DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE ANOTHER RECALL FOR THIS.

STEERING
STEERING STICKS IN THE 11 O'CLOCK POSITION IN LEFT CURVES OF 30 DEGREES AT SPEEDS OF 30 MPH OR MORE. THE FASTER THE SPEED THE MORE PRONOUNCED THE STICK. THIS IS THE STICKING PROBLEM REPORTED BY MANY IN THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING, NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE GROUND ISSUE TOTAL POWER LOSS. THE PROBLEM WAS ORIGINALLY CORRECTED AT 1879 MILES BY THE DEALER REPLACING THE RACK AND PINION ASSEMBLY. PROBLEM REAPPEARED OVER THE WEEKEND 7/24/2019 AT 35,200 MILES. I'LL BE TAKING IT TO THE DEALER THIS WEEK. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THERE IS SOMETHING AMISS IN RAM'S RACK AND PINION ASSEMBLIES. THIS PROBLEM COULD DEFINITELY RESULT IN THE DEATH OR INJURY OF THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE OR THE OCCUPANT'S OF OTHER VEHICLES. I FIND REFERENCES ON RAM FORUMS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS FAR BACK AS FALL OF 2018, THE SAME AS MY ORIGINAL PROBLEM. I AM HIGHLY SURPRISED THAT RAM HASN'T FOUND AN ANSWER FOR THIS PROBLEM.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK, THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF SHATTERED. THE COVER WAS CLOSED DURING THIS TIME. I WAS DRIVING APPROX. 35-40 MPH, WITH THE TEMPERATURE AROUND 85-90. I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT ON AN OPEN ROAD WITH NO VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THERE WERE NO OTHER DEBRIS FROM THE VEHICLE, EXCEPT FOR THE SHATTERED GLASS. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE RAM DEALERSHIP WHERE I AM WAITING FOR REPAIRS. AT THIS TIME, THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT SAYING WHETHER IT WILL BE COVERED BY WARRANTY OR IF I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET.
