2012 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

MFG RECALL # T79 AND NHTSA # 17V-821 ALSO THIRD REAR CAB BRAKE LIGHT IS LEAKING INTO THE CAB WHICH CAN LEAK INTO AIRBAGS, MAY CAUSE A MALFUNCTION DUE TO CORROSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 RAM 1500. WHILE STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE GEARS MALFUNCTIONED ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEARS WOULD NOT SWITCH TO DRIVE WHEN PROMPTED AND SWITCHED OUT OF GEAR INDEPENDENTLY. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TAKATA INFLATORS. WHEN I START MY TRUCK THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON FOR AWHILE THEN IT GOES OFF. IT CAN COME ON AT ANYTIME , STARTING IT UP OR IN MOTION .I CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP WERE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK, BUT THEY TELL ME THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS TO BE ON WHEN I BRING IT IN, OR THEY CAN'T RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. IT SEEMS EVERY TIME I GO TO THE DEALERSHIP THE LIGHT INCONVENIENTLY GOES OFF. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR ABOUT 6MO , OFF AND ON.

DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHTS, BOTH HIGH BEAM AND LOW BEAM , WILL NOT WORK. I HAVE REPLACED 3 TIMES IN 6 MONTHS, RESET THE TIPM ONCE, AND WILL HAVE TO AGAIN. THIS IS A CHRONIC ISSUE WITH RAM TIPM. (GOOGLE IT, PAGES OF RESULTS) I AM DRIVING WITHOUT A HEADLIGHT HALF THE TIME NOW, KEEPING BULBS IN MY TRUCK, BUT IT IS NOT EASY ACCESS TO CHANGE BULBS ON THE FLY ALONG THE HIGHWAY.

HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING. WAS TOLD IT IS A FAILED TIPM. WAS HEADED HOME FROM THE STORE AT DUSK. TURNED THE LIGHT SWITCH AND NO LIGHTS. HAD TO DRIVE HOME WITH FLASHERS.

RIGHT OR LEFT HEADLIGHT GOS OUT AND ON WELL DRIVING. TIPM ???? WIRE HARNESS HAS BEEN REPLACED, DID NOT FIX

VEHICLE STRUCK HIGHWAY GUARD RAIL IN CRASH WHILE WE WERE IN MOTION. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

MY HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2012 RAM 1500 ST ARE HORRIBLE. MY FOG LIGHTS ARE BRIGHTER THEN THE LOW BEAM ON THE VEHICLE WHICH MAKES IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE HEADLIGHTS, BOTH LOW AND HIGH ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH TO SEE PAST 10 FEET.

IN THE MORNING WHEN ENGINE IS FIRST STARTED THEIR IS A KNOCKING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD FOR ABOUT 10 MIN AND THEN GOES AWAY. ALSO IF TRUCK SITS TOO LONG THE KNOCKING NOISE WILL HAPPEN AGAIN FOR ABOUT 10 MINS. 5.7 HEMI ENGINE. MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OWNERS REGARDING THIS NOISE AND CONCERNED THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR A KNOWN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN KNOWN TO THE DEALER AND GOVERNMENT FOR QUITE SOMETIME NOW.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE FROM SPEEDS 0 - 40MPH A "WHIRLING/WHINING" NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS COMING FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE TRUCK AND IS ONLY HEARD WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE NOISE IS NOT PRESENT WHEN CAR IS PARKED OR STOPPED AT A LIGHT. I HAVE 160,000.00 MILES ON TRUCK AND IT HAS JUST STARTED MAKING THIS NOISE IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS. I SEE OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED ON ALL TRUCKS. WE HAVE JUST BOUGHT A 2017 RAM TRUCK AND THAT WILL BE OUR THIRD RAM TRUCK AND AM UPSET THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM YET
