2013 RAM 1500 Complaints

ATTEMPTED TO START MY RAM 1500, AFTER TURNING THE KEY THE MESSAGE SCREEN READ WRONG KEY FOB. MY TRUCK DOES NOT UTILIZE A FOB. THE TRUCK WAS STUCK IN PARK AND NEEDED TO BE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2013 RAM 1500S AND CAN BE A RECURRING ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE HESITATED BEFORE MOVING FORWARD. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS WATER LEAKING FROM UNDERNEATH THE DASH BOARD TO THE FLOOR AROUND THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND SPREADING TO THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MULTIPLE DEALERS, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

I REAR ENDED A SEMI THAT WAS PARKED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 51 MILES PER HOUR. NO AIRBAG'S DEPLOYED, BUT THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED.

WHEN DRIVING MY TRUCK AT ANY SPEED EVEN A STOP THE CLUSTER WILL RESET. RADIO, AC & TRUCK ALL STILL WORK, ONLY THE CLUSTER WILL RESTART. I HAVE BEEN TAKING MY TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEY HAVE DONE A FEW UPDATES BUT THIS WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.

CENTER DASH CLUSTER REBOOTS WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE KEEPS RUNNING WHILE CLUSTER RECYCLES. IT HAS OCCURRED DOZENS OF TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. IT OCCURS AT MULTIPLE SPEEDS AND SOMETIMES WHEN I AM SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT. NOW THE AUTO DOOR LOCKS ARE INTERMITTENTLY WORKING ON ALL OF THE DOORS. HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK 3 OF 4 DOORS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED AND VARIOUS WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE JUMPSTARTED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE OPERATED ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 RAM 1500. WHILE IN PARK, THE DRIVER EXITED THE VEHICLE. MOMENTS LATER, THE VEHICLE ERRONEOUSLY DROVE FORWARD. THE FRONT PASSENGER HAD TO TURN THE IGNITION KEY IN ORDER TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS A LEAKAGE IN THE RADIATOR COOLING SYSTEM. IN ADDITION, ABOVE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE CONTACT STATED WATER LEAKED ONTO HER FOOT. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SMELL COMING FROM THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT.

WHILE DRIVING IN A 2013 RAM 1500 PENTASTAR V6 THE ENGINE HAS STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING. AT LEAST ONCE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

HAD TO START BRAKING QUICKLY AND THE SHAKING WHAT THE DEALER NOW TELLS ME IS FROM WARPED ROTORS CREATED A VERY UNSAFE FEELING AND HAS TO AFFECT THE BRAKING PERFORMANCE. I BELIEVE THAT NO VEHICLE WITH NOW 27000 MILES ON IT SHOULD HAVE WARPED ROTORS. SEEMS PRETTY OBVIOUS THEY ARE EITHER DEFECTIVE OR THE CHEAPEST QUALITY ROTOR THEY COULD PURCHASE.THIS VEHICLE IIS DESIGNED FOR TOWING, AND HAULING A VARIETY OF IITEMS. ALSO AROUND THE SAME TIME I STARTED NOTICING AT TIMES A CLUNKING NOISE FROM THE FRONT END. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS A STRUT BEARING GONE BAD. THEY DID REPLACE THAT PART UNDER WARRANTY. ONCE AGAIN THIS MADE THE VEHICLE STEERING FEEL UNSAFE. I HAVE CONTACTED RAM DIRECTLY AND SO FAR THEY HAVE OFFERED ZERO ASSISTANCE IN DEALING WITH THE BRAKE ROTOR IISSUE. ONCE AGAIN IT APPEARS THAT RAM OBVIOUSLY IS NOT CONCERNED WITH THE CONSUMERS SAFETY. WHETHER IT IS DEFECTIVE OR CHEAPLY MADE PARTS, THEY SHOULD BE MORE CONCERNED AND RESPONSIVE TO CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS. I AM NOT WILLING TO PAY TO REPLACE ROTORS AND PAFS WITH ONLY 27000 MILES ON IIT. HOW MANY OTHER RAM TRUCKS ARE OUT THERE WITH THE SAME ISSUE THAT THEY ARE NOT ADDRESSING. BRAKING AND STEERING ARE 2 TOP COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLES SAFETY AND THEY SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SKIRT THE ISSUES AND PUT PEOPLES LIVES AT RISK.
