UNKNOWN OR OTHER
VEHICLE CANNOT BE LOCKED WITHOUT HORN HONKING. BOTH DEALER AND CHRYSLER HAVE TOLD ME THAT UCONNECT 5.0 SYSTEM HAS NO MEANS OF DISCONNECT OR REPROGRAMMING TO ELIMINATE HORN HONKING WHEN CAR IS LOCKED. LOCAL P.D. AND CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL CONFIRM THAT IT IS A VIOLATION FOR HORN TO HONK - EXCEPT IN EMERGENCY OR AS ALARM. SEE CA. VEHICLE CODE SECTION 27001 & 28085. " LOCKING DOOR INDICATION IS A VIOLATION OF THE LAW." MY BUSINESS REQUIRES 24 HOUR SERVICE. NEIGHBOR HAS TOLD ME THEY WILL CALL POLICE, (UNDERSTANDABLY), IF MY HORN AWAKENS THEIR CHILDREN AGAIN. CHRYSLER CONTACT TOLD ME THE UCONNECT SPECIALIST HE SPOKE TO HAS THE SAME ISSUE ON HIS VEHICLE. HAVE MADE 3 CONTACTS WITH DEALER AND 2 WITH CHRYSLER WHOM SAY NOTHING CAN BE DONE. IT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED THAT I, "REMOVE THE FUSE EACH TIME YOU PARK - THEN LOCK THE DOOR." AND IF I FORGET TO REINSTALL THE FUSE? SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON SOURCE OF NOISE POLLUTION AND UNFORTUNATELY, A MANUFACTURES ISSUE. DEALER HAS BEEN LESS THAN HELPFUL.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE VEHICLE START WITH THE REMOTE BUT WHEN THE KEY WAS PUT IN AND TURNED TO RUN. THE DASH SAID TURN KEY TO RUN. AS THE KEY WAS ALREADY IN THE RUN POSITION I WIGGLED THE SHIFTER AND IT TURNED OFF. THE DASH STATED REMOTE WAS DISABLED AND TO RESET START VEHICLE. I TRIED TO RESTART THE TRUCK BUT IT WOULD NOT START. THE TRUCK PARKED WAS IN MY DRIVE WAY AT THE TIME. I BELIEVE THE FAULT IS THE TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM).

WHEELS
2014 RAM 1500 DRIVING AT 48 MPH, TIRE HAS A CATASTROPHIC BLOWOUT. THE TIRE BLEW FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER IN A STRAIGHT LINE. GOOD THING THIS WAS ON A TWO LANE ROAD AND NOT ON A INTERSTATE AT 75 TO 8O MPH HERE IN TEXAS IS ALLOWED. IF THIS HAPPENED ON A INTERSTATE I WOULD NOT BE HERE TO WRITE THIS. NOW I HAVE CHECK WITH MY TIRE DEALER, HE SAID THIS IS NOT THE FIRST ONE HE HAS SEEN. HE SENT THIS TIRE TO GOODYEAR.THEN I GOOGLED THIS AND MORE SHOWED UP.I THINK GOODYEAR SHOULD RECALL THESE WRANGLER P275/60 R20 SA AND ANY OTHER THAT THIS HAS HAPPEN TO. MAYBE RAM SHOULD GO TO SOME OTHER TIRE FOR THEIR REPUTATION. I HOPE NO ONE HAS BEEN KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS TIRE FAILURE. PICTURE INCLUDED.
