2019 RAM 1500 Complaints

The contact owns a 2019 Ram 1500. The contact’s wife stated that while the vehicle was parked and shut off, the driver’s front door became inoperable. The contact reported that the front driver’s side door hinge began to detach, causing the contact’s wife to fall from the vehicle. As a result, the contact’s wife sustained ankle and wrist injuries and was transported to a local emergency room for treatment. The contact expressed concern that the failure posed a serious safety hazard to occupants and bystanders. The contact also stated that the front passenger’s door was beginning to exhibit similar issues, raising concern that the defect could result in additional injuries if not addressed. The contact mentioned that the passenger side door hinge was starting to detach prematurely. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 122,000. The VIN was invalid.

Multiple times when placing the vehicle in reverse, review view camera screen shows distorted view or 'camera system not available' and blue screen. Have taken to dealer regarding issue multiple times, issue unresolved by component replacement in kind. Have researched online, found this is a common problem with Ram DS vehicles. Have tried online "tricks" to repair - they work temporarily then problem returns. Have been dealing with these issues for several years, very troublesome especially since I have small children so rear visibility when backing is critical.

Alternator with etorgue has gone out leaving the truck stranded and no parts are available. I order one on the 23rd of June 2025 it is now September 9th 2025. There is no update and part is still showing back ordered.

Bilateral manifold failure, high incident in 2019 vehicles. Stellantis should review for recall.

Issue started with a "service shifter" warning at just shy of 3,000 miles, in January of 2019, and upon speaking to the dealership, they advised to shut off the truck and restart which cleared the "service shifter" warning. They said it was a glitch and that should remedy the issue. This issue became more frequent later (after manufacturers warranty ran out) It started leaving me stranded, sometimes for hours around 45,000 miles. Later, I suffered a multisystem failure and warnings that the truck was not in park, the shifter would not turn, truck would not start, and multiple other warnings. We were able to replace the battery which we thought had fixed the issue, but two weeks later it has done it again, and this time the battery disconnection for a period of days has not fixed the issue. I still owe two years on this truck and it has been a lemon. I have taken it to two dealerships, neither can fix my issue. I have done countless hours of research to address the issue. I am paying payments and do not have anything to drive. I need help with this issue. I have maintained the vehicle and have only put close to 60,000 miles on the truck. There is no logical reason I should be dealing with this many major issues that even the dealership can not seem to remedy. With such low miles and at only 7 years old, these issues should not be considered "routine maintenance" at the point in the truck's life. I believe this issue needs to be investigated, as I know many RAM owners who are facing the same issues that I am having, with no answers as of yet. I have been watching for recalls or statements from RAM, but nothing yet. Thank you for your time and careful considerations. I look forward to seeing a solution to my issues. Until then, I'll be stranded in Virginia, paying for transportation that can't be fixed.

Having to replace the rotors and brake pads just about every 6 months. Constantly hearing the front brakes grinding into the rotors while driving. Front and rear calibers are not releasing pressure after brakes are applied. Issue began in 2022 after buying the vehicle.

I’ve had this car for four years and my motor has blown three times and they have changed the head on the motor three different times I was driving the car on the highway.

I had to wait until they came and picked me up and told me and this is extremely unsafe and a hazard after the third head replacement at the dealer and the car still under warranty. I don’t feel safe in this car with My Child. I picked up my truck around 2pm August 25th , and the motor blew Wednesday night at 1045pm for a 3rd time INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The issue is the MGU went out on truck. Dealer has no idea when a replacement will be available. Was told over 4100 are backordered. This appears to be an ongoing problem with these trucks for several months now. They blame supply chain issues. I feel it's on the manufacturer to readily have replacement parts. Clearly they didn't do their due diligence on this part. Something should be done to this company for the way they are treating customers. It's my only vehicle to get to and from work. Please put pressure on this company to get the necessary part.
