2015 RAM 1500 Complaints

HEADLIGHT DEVELOPES CONDENSATION, CAUSING HEADLIGHT (HIGH BEAM) TO BLOW OUT (MY CASE), BUT WHICH EVER IS ON WILL BLOW OUT. DEALERSHIP IS TELLING CUSTOMERS TO RUN WITH HIGH BEAM ON TO BURN OFF THE CONDENSATION. THIS ONLY CAUSES THE BULB TO BLOW.

3RD BRAKE LIGHT NOT SEALED AND ALLOWS WATER TO ENTER TRUCK. CAN INTERIORS LINER WET AND STAINS. BACK LEATHER SEATS WET AND STAINED

ALTHOUGH NOT REPORTED TO THE DEALER INITIALLY WHEN UNDER WARRANTY, THE DRIVER SEAT BELT WOULD COME UNDONE WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. AT FIRST I THOUGHT I HADN'T SECURED THE BUCKLE PROPERLY BUT EVEN AFTER ENSURING THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE WAS SECURELY LOCKED IT STILL WOULD UNLATCH ITSELF AND THE SEAT BELT ALARM WOULD GO OFF. THESE SEAT BELT LOCKING MALFUNCTION ALWAYS HAPPENED WHEN THE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION AND IT OCCURRED BOTH ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. THIS ALSO OCCURRED AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND AT LEAST 25 TIMES OVER A 3 YEAR PERIOD. I JUST TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AFTER THE SEAT BELT BECAME UNFASTENED TWO TIMES WITHIN A 25 MILE TRIP. A SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE REPLACED ON A 3YR OLD TRUCK WITH ONLY 26K MILESON IT.

2015 RAM 1500 WITH 55,555 MILES. THE FUEL SENSOR FAIL (P0463). THIS OCCURRED FIRST WHILE DRIVING 55MPH WITH JUST OVER 3/4 TANK. THEN AGAIN A FEW MILES LATER. IT NOW SHOWS 'FUEL SENSOR FAIL' ANY TIME UNDER 3/4 OF A TANK. BUT WORKS WHEN AT A FULL TANK. I NOW MUST USE MY TRIP MILEAGE TO ESTIMATE WHEN MY FUEL IS LOW. I'M GLAD I GOT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY!

ON 3 DIFFERENT TIMES MY ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAS GOTTEN STUCK AND ACCELERATING TO ABOUT 90 PLUS MPH WHILE DRIVING. I HAD TO STOMP ON IT SEVERAL TIMES TO GET IT UNSTUCK WHILE RIDING THE BRAKE, I HAVE READ WHERE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS MINE. HOWEVER THE DODGE DEALER SAID THEY HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY RECALLS ON THIS PROBLEM AND CAN NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME UNTIL THERE IS A RECALL. SO PAYING OUT MY POCKET TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY BEFORE I AM IN AND ACCIDENT AND INJURY OR KILL SOMEONE AND OR MYSELF. THANKFULLY THERE WASN'T A SCHOOL BUS DROPPING OR PICKING UP KIDS BECAUSE I HAD GO AROUND VEHICLES AS MY RAM TRUCK ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN AFTER RELEASING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.
