FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY 2019 RAM FUEL FILLER NECK CAUSES ANY GAS PUMP NOZZLE I USE TO BECOME STUCK AND MAKES REFUELING TAKE MUCH LONGER THAN IT SHOULD. THE GAS PUMP NOZZLE CONTINUOUSLY TURNS OFF NOT ALLOWING ME TO FILL MY GAS TANK. THE FILLER NECK?S DESIGN SEEMS TO TRIGGER THE GAS PUMPS? AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF WHEN THE TANK ISN?T FULL YET. SOMETIMES THE PUMP SHUTS OFF EVERY FEW SECONDS, FORCING ME TO FILL MY TRUCKS? TANK OUNCES AT A TIME.

STEERING
I WAS STOPPED AT A RIGHT LIGHT, MADE A RIGHT TURN AND IMMEDAILTY LOST ALL STEERING IT WAS LOCKED IN A RIGHT TURN HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES AFTER THE TRUCK RAN UP OVER THE CURB ONTO THE SIDEWALK INCHES FROM DRIVING THROUGH A BRICK WALL. I SHUT THE TRUCK OFF STARTED IT AGAIN AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. I WAS 3 HOURS FROM HOME SINCE EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE AFTER DRIVING ANOTHER 30 MILES OR SO I HEADED DOWN THE MOUNTIN TO GO HOME. HEADING DOWN HILL ON A VERY CURVY ROAD I LOST ALL POWER STEERING ON A CORNER AND IT TOOK EVERYTHING I HAD TO KEEP IT ON THE ROAD AND AVOID DRIVING OFF THE SIDE OF A MOUNTAIN. EXXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SCARY. I WAS ABLE TO LIMP THE TRUCK HOME FROM THERE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS TO BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL. I AM DRIVING A 2019 RAM 1500 BIGHORN.

STRUCTURE:BODY, SEATS, VISIBILITY/WIPER
I HAD NOTICED THAT THE REAR WINDOW ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WOULD LEAK A SMALL DRIBBLE OF WATER AFTER A CAR WASH OR A HEAVY RAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVING AT THE TIME OF DISCOVERY. I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO MEADOR CDJR IN FORT WORTH TX AND THEY REMOVED AND REPLACED THE REAR SEAT AND REAR WINDOW. THEY INSTALLED A NEW WINDOW SEAL AND REPLACED THE REAR SEAT. THEY COVERED THIS AS A WARRANTY ITEM WITH NO CHARGE TO ME.

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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
WATER (RAIN,CAR WASH, ETC) IS LEAKING THROUGH THE REAR POWER SLIDING WINDOW AND INTO THE VEHICLE AND DAMAGING THE INTERIOR (HEADLINER, SEATS). THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY RAM/FCA AND THEY HAVE NOT RECALLED THEM YET. THIS CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING. I'M ALSO CONCERNED THAT IF WATER SITS INSIDE OF THE LINER CAN IT CAUSE MOLD TO FORM? ALSO CAN IT SHORT OUT ANY ELECTRICAL TO THE WINDOW? WHEN I NOTICED IT HAPPEN TO ME THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED.
