I HAVE A 2015 DODGE RAM 1500 EXPRESS, I'VE HAD MECHANICAL ISSUE WITH THE TRUCK FROM THE VERY START OF OWNING THE TRUCK. THE BIGGEST AND LONGEST LASTING ISSUE HAS BEEN WITH THE KEY FOB GETTING STUCK IN THE TRUCK. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN THAT THE TRUCK ISN'T TELLING ITSELF THAT THE IS IN PARK SO IT WONT RELEASE MY KEY. THIS CAUSES ME TO HAVE TO TURN THE TRUCK ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES MOVE THE TRUCK AND SHIFT BACK INTO PAR BEFORE IT WILL RELEASE THE KEY. THE DEALERSHIP HAS SEEN THIS PROBLEM HAPPEN IN PERSON BUT THEN TELLS ME THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT. SO THEY REPLACE SOME RANDOM PART HOPING IT WILL FIX THE ISSUE. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 03/2016 AND HAS REQUIRED THE TRUCK TO BE IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP FOR DAYS AND WEEKS. DODGE HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE CONTACTED DODGE CUSTOMER CARE TWICE OPENED TWO CUSTOMER CARE TICKETS AND ALL I HEAR FROM DODGE IS TAKE IT BACK TO SHOP SO THEY CAN LOOK AT IT. I'VE HAD CLOSE TO SEVEN DIFFERENT ITEMS REPLACED ON THE TRUCK AND HAVE TO SPEND MY OFF DAYS DRIVING BACK AND WORTH TO THE DEALERSHIP OVER THE PAST SEVEN MONTHS. I'VE BEEN SPEAKING WITH DODGE CUSTOMER CARE SINCE 05/2016 TRYING TO GET THIS FIXED BUT THEY DON'T SEEM WILLING OR CARE TO GET THE TRUCK FIXED. THEIR ANSWER IS THEY CANT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE SO THEY CANT FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT I'VE SHOWN VIDEOS, RECORDED EVERY TIME THE KEY GETS STUCK BY NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE, DODGE DOESN'T SEEM TO CONCERNED WITH FIXING MY ISSUE. WHEN MY "CUSTOMER CARE" REP CALLS ME FROM DODGE SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHERE MY TRUCK IS. I HAVE DETAILED RECORDS OF EVERY TIME THE KEY HAS GOTTEN STUCK, I'VE DROPPED MY TRUCK OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP, OR I'VE SPOKEN TO SOMEONE REGARDING Y TRUCK. I JUST WANT MY TRUCK FIXED. *TR

MY VEHICLE HAS NO DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS FOR VISUAL SAFETY. THE SALES CODE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED BY THE FCA. I WANT MY VEHICLE TO HAVE THE LIGHT SAFETY LIKE ALL THE OTHER DODGE, CHRYSLER, JEEP VEHICLES. WHY ARE THE RAM 1500'S LEFT OUT OF THIS SAFETY FEATURE?

ENGINE
CHECK ENGINE CAME ON, TOOK IT TO GET IT TESTED AND THE CODE WAS FOR CYLINDER #3 MISFIRE. CHECKED AND REPLACED SPARK PLUGS AND COIL PACK, ALONG WITH TESTING THE FUEL INJECTORS, ALSO GOOD. PERFORMED COMPRESSION TEST, FAILED AT 85 PSI. REMOVED DRIVERS CYLINDER HEAD ASSEMBLY. REMOVED LIFTERS AND FOUND CYLINDER #3 INTAKE LIFTER COLLAPSED AND BOTTOM ROLLER LOCKED UP. THE FAILED LIFTER CAUSED THE CAM SHAFT LOBE TO BE SHAVED DOWN. WITH NO CAM LOBE, THE VALVE CANNOT OPEN TO ALLOW AIR IN THE CYLINDER, CAUSING LOW COMPRESSION AND MISFIRE. THE TRUCK IS A A DODGE RAM 1500, 2013. WITH 116,000. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED TO A TRUCK WITH THIS LOW OF MILAGE. THIS PART WAS FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE ON DODGES PART. ESTIMATED COST $4000.

WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKER. DOES IT IN LOW BEAM AND HIGH BEAM. HAS DONE IT WITH AC ON AND OFF. HAS DONE THIS WITH HEAT ON AND OFF. I AM CONCERNED THAT WITH THE ISSUE THE HEADLIGHTS WILL GO COMPLETELY OUT WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAN CAUSE A LIFE AND DEATH ISSUE. IT DOES IT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS WELL AS CITY SPEED. I NOTICED THIS WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD 751 MILES ON IT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
PURCHASED TRUCK CERTIFIED USED IN OCT 2015. SINCE THEN, I HAVE HAD APPROXIMATELY 9 INSTANCES OF MY INSTRUMENT PANEL (OR CLUSTER) COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING. WHEN IT SHUTS OFF, THE SCREEN IN THE MIDDLE COMPLETELY GOES BLACK, THE RPMS AND SPEEDOMETER, AND OTHER GAUGES GO TO ZERO. AFTER A SECOND OR 2, EVERYTHING TURNS BACK ON AS IF I HAD JUST STARTED THE VEHICLE (RAM LOGO POPS UP, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, OIL TEMP LIGHT IS ON, GAS LIGHT IS LIGHT ON, SEATBELT LIGHT IS ON, ECT). ALL GAUGES THEN GET BACK TO THEIR PREVIOUS READINGS, AS FAR AS I KNOW, JUST BEFORE THE RESET. EACH TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED, I HAVE BEEN TRAVELING ANYWHERE FROM 35-55 MPH ON A STRAIGHT ROAD. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO 2 DEALERSHIPS TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT WITH EACH TIME TELLING ME IF THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. ON A RECENT INCIDENT (9/27/16), IT HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO WORK, SO I BROUGHT IT IN THAT DAY, AS THE LAST DEALERSHIP INSTRUCTED ME TO. ONCE AGAIN, THEY COULDN'T PIN POINT THE PROBLEM, BUT HAD CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO SEE WHAT THEY WANTED THEM TO DO. CHRYSLER HAD THEM DO A SOFTWARE UPDATE, AND A WEEK LATER I HAD IT HAPPEN AGAIN AT NIGHT (10/4/16), AND ONCE AGAIN THE NEXT MORNING (10/5/16). I AM HOPING THAT THIS ISSUE DOESN'T CAUSE A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING AND I JUST HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED THAT YET. PLEASE HELP!

ON 10/5/2016, THE VEHICLE OPERATOR PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND EXITED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL FORWARDS WITHOUT A DRIVER IN THE VEHICLE.

WHEN ONE OF OUR CLIENT'S EMPLOYEES ATTEMPTED TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK, HE NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION INDICATOR WAS ALREADY IN A PARKED POSITION. HE THEN APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BREAK. WITHOUT THE INTERVENTION OF OUR CLIENT'S EMPLOYEES, THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE CRASHED IN TO A HIGH-TRAFFIC EXTERIOR STAIRWELL ON OUR CLIENT'S PROPERTY. A COMPREHENSIVE INCIDENT REPORT IS ATTACHED TO THIS COMPLAINT. FOR PRIVACY PURPOSES, WE HAVE REDACTED INFORMATION DIRECTLY PERTAINING TO OUR CLIENT. OUR CLIENT' S EMPLOYEES ARE REFERRED TO BY THEIR LAST NAMES ONLY. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE AND TOWED TO MID COUNTY CHRYSLER FOR REPAIRS.

AT 24300 MILES THE ENGINE BEGAN VIBRATING VERY HARD AND THEN QUIT. AFTER CHECKING THE OIL, IT WAS GOOD, I CREPT THE TRUCK TO A CONVENIENCE STORE AND CALLED AAA. TOWED VEHICLE TO NEAREST CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. THEY DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH CERTIFIED TECHS TO FIX MY TRUCK WITHOUT IT BEING AT DEALER FOR 2 MONTHS. SERVICE MGR CALLED AROUND AND FOUND A DEALER WHO COULD REPAIR TRUCK. METAL PIECES INCLUDING BEARINGS WERE FOUND IN THE OIL PAN. CHRYSLER REPLACED THE ENGINE UNDER WARRANTY. NO EXPLANATION WAS GIVEN AND WHEN ASKED IF THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED ON THE NEW ENGINE RECEIVED NO ANSWER. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE ENGINE FAILER OR WHETHER RAM HAS FIXED THIS EVER OCCURRING AGAIN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
UCONNECT UNIT WENT OUT, NO ERROR CODES IT WAS DEAD NO RADIO NO A/C CONTROLS. CHRYSLER REPLACED IT IN AUGUST 2016. WITHIN WEEKS ( SEPT. 17TH) I WAS ON I-59 HEADED OUT OF TOWN THE ENTIRE DASH WENT OUT, INSTRUMENTS RESET CAME BACK ON, 30 MINUTES LATER DASH WENT OUT AGAIN AND RESET, 20 MINUTES LATER DASH WENT OUT AGAIN. I TURNED AROUND AND HEADED BACK HOME IT WENT OUT 2 MORE TIMES. SPEED SEEMED TO NOT AFFECT IT AS I WAS AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND ALSO IN PARK WHEN IT WENT OUT. I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 3.5 YEARS AND NEVER HAD PROBLEMS UNTIL THE UCONNECT UNIT WENT OUT NOR DID THE A/C DRIP WATER ON MY FOOT AND GAS PEDAL WHICH IT HAS NOW BEEN DOING SINCE UCONNECT UNIT WAS REPAIRED NOW GAS PEDAL IS SLICK WITH WATER. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON SEPT.19 AFTER CALLING CHRYSLER. DEALERSHIP FIRST SAID BCM WAS BAD WAITED TO SEE WHAT CHRYSLER WAS GOING TO DO. THEN I GET TOLD BY DEALERSHIP A WEEK LATER THAT IT IS INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. I TALKED TO CHRYSLER AND TOLD THEM MY CONCERN SOMETHING IS MAKING THE ELECTRICAL ACT UP AND DOING RESEARCH IT MAKES SENSE THAT IT COULD BE BCM SINCE BOTH UCONNECT AND INSTRUMENT PANEL ARE CONNECTED TO IT. I NOW SEE BY READING THIS SITE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FIND AND FIX THE PROBLEM. PARTS CHANGING I.E. THE UCONNECT UNIT AND NOW THE INSTRUMENT PANEL (AT MY EXPENSE), DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND NOW I AM LEERY ABOUT TRAVELING LONG DISTANCES BECAUSE NO ONE HAS 'FOUND' THE ISSUE CAUSING ALL THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. WATER (CONDENSATION) DRIPPING ALL OVER MY GAS PEDAL IS DANGEROUS AND DEALERSHIP IS NOT CONCERNED, GAVE ME A LECTURE ON USING RECIRCULATE ON MY A/C (WHICH I DO). MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 23,000 MILES ON IT THERE SHOULD NOT BE ALL THESE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS.
