2020 RAM 1500 Complaints

Truck won't start or move from park new battery was drained in one afternoon. Now vehicle won't start .

Inside cab is getting moisture in it. Prior to noticing this we had battery drainage that causes truck not to turn on. They replaced radio they found it was drain battery. We continued to have battery drainage where it wouldn’t turn on after a full charge overnight. The truck would go to turn on but would only make clicking noises and wouldn’t shut down for 20 minutes even though wouldn’t start. Other times we’d turn off truck and it wouldn’t turn off. Now our truck is molding inside and front and rear windshield drip of moisture. The moisture drips onto dash and down the console. This could affect electrical components. There is less then 10,000 miles on it. We’ve had brakes jam up on us when we back up and there is nothing even close to us.

I have a 2020 Dodge Ram that has 75,000 miles on it. It has already broke down requiring a new transmission ( Jan of 2023 at 61,349 miles) and on [XXX] at 83,000 miles I, again, broke down and found it to be a valve spring. I have inquired as to the frequency of these occurrences in other Rams and a was told neither one of these occurrences should have happened. I jumped the hoops of the warranty and have put out almost $1,000 for the warranty company to "inspect" the engine, valve spring & tranny items that I should not have had to deal with in the first place. At first, the warranty company was willing to discuss possible retribution of some sort given the rarity of the break downs that occurred. I had a caseworker and now I cannot get anyone on the phone to even discuss this with any longer. Always being told "In a meeting", "Not available". With my last call being today and told SOMEONE was going to call. I have received emails noting "it is being investigated" and also told someone would reach out. NOW I have developed anxiety over this truck as, I travel. I'm terrified that I will be stuck in the middle of no where in the middle of the night. Both occurrences happened at night while alone! I am a [XXX]! Perhaps that's why ? I have been without a vehicle since that time and even the auto repair place had a very hard time in getting warranty company to pay. Truck is home now but now Im afraid to drive it anywhere. This was my dream truck and Im heartbroken at the total disrespect that has occurred for my safety and for anyone else who has had to go through this - I do have invoices but it wouldn't let me download them. I can send them via email. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

To Whom It May Concern, The issue I am reporting is that the drivers side of my cargo bin on my 2020 Ram Rebel is opening on its own. This has occurred many times while I was driving and most times, items inside the cargo bin have fallen out on the road. This issue is also taking place when the vehicle has been parked and locked, as I come out in the morning or return from an errand and the ride side drivers cargo bin is wide open. I have also had items stolen because of this. This shortcoming is now also killing my battery all the time, since after I jump the vehicle, I can hear the locking mechanism attempting to lock and unlock on its own. I feel this is a huge liability since the contents of the bin are sometimes landing in the roadway behind my truck. I contacted Crown Dodge in Ventura, Ca and they have stated they have never heard of this situation before. When I look on-line for similar complaints, many people are saying the exact same thing as their drivers side cargo bins are opening due to an electrical wire loom shortcoming. Some of these individuals have taken their trucks to their local Dodge dealers and they are changing the wire loom and adding additional weather protection to it to correct the issue. This situation, if not addressed will cause damage to vehicles behind the trucks if not accidents as the contents of the bin can immediately become unsecured and effect all vehicles behind it. I have now opened the top of my bin and disconnected the leads powering the lock switch and it seems to be working as the bin is locked all the time and I will now need to use my key to unlock it. This has also kept my battery from draining, but I feel the dealer should step up and correct this very dangerous situation on their own before the liability for accidents and/or damage is directed to the truck owners themselves.

INCIDENT 1: Cruise Control would not turn on or off. INCIDENT 2: TRUCK STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY

While driving at highway speed with the sunvisor down, the visor suddenly became loose and hit me in the head blocking my vision. As I reached up to move the visor around, I realized that there was no tension on the swing arm and the visor would swing from the driver side window all the way to the windshield, this caused me to keep one hand on the visor when the sun was coming through the driver side window, and only one hand on the wheel.

The drivers side sun visor has broken and is possible for it to fall onto the steering column while I'm driving, and also hits my head when it swings back and forth. I've read that this is a very common problem with the 2020 RAM.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, there was an abnormal sound coming from the exhaust on the passenger's side of the vehicle, and there was an abnormal ticking sound coming from the engine compartment. The contact became aware there was exhaust fumes inside the cabin of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the exhaust manifolds were fractured. The manifolds were replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 60,000. The VIN was not available.

The inside of my truck has condensation. The inside lights console don’t work. Because water comes in by the rear top headliner.

Issues with the ABS system and also showing many defects with controller causing problems in the CV axle which had to be replaced as well
