2018 RAM 1500 Complaints

The 2018 infotainment system delaminated resulting in loss of control of the radio, loss of hands off assistance from Android Auto,, and loss of control of the various auxiliary electrical functions such as the clock, setting temperature controls, etc. Vehicle only has 51,000 miles on the odometer. Costs $957.00 to replace the unit.

this vehicle it's located at the New England area where winter eats metal. the links and axis axle are exposed to salt on winter months. see images attached. the whole underline vehicle should have a decent anti rust protective coat. the rear transmission cap should be replaced as well.

The passenger seat belt buckle was rough or sharp enough that it cut into the belt fabric. It would ride up the belt when retracting and hit the upper limit of travel and cut into the belt. For safety I needed to replace the belt with a new one. I saved the torn seat belt assembly and my receipt for the repair.

The contact owns a 2018 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while attempting to refuel the vehicle, the fuel nozzle would become stuck in the fuel tank which caused the gasoline to spill out and the contact had to forcefully pull the fuel nozzle from the fuel tank in order for it to detach. The dealer was made aware of the failure and scheduled an upcoming appointment for diagnosis. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 28,000.

There is a manufacture defect within the UConnect 8.4" screen that causes an adhesive layer to melt and limit the functionality of safety features. A bubble started forming under the screen with the size less than a dime, but has already quadrupled in size since I first noticed it. There is nothing that I can do to make it stop. I have had ghost touches, ranging from drastically reducing and increasing volume, and even having the backup camera turn off because it thinks I'm doing something else. These instances have been rare, but have been starting to become more frequent as the bubble grows larger. I've contacted dealerships and FCA customer support, and they both acknowledged that this is a common problem, but will not help since I'm out of warranty. There are hundreds of documented cases of this happening to a wide variety of FCA vehicles, with many of them being will under 10,000 miles. I should not have to pay for a manufacture defect because my odometer is higher than others. There are even cases of screens dialing 911 on accident or hanging up phone calls. What If I need to call 911 but am unable to? What if I'm using the backup camera, and it decides to randomly turn off? What if the melting adhesive drips and cause s a critical failure while I'm driving? What if the screen doesn't display the correct info for my parking sensors? These are all issues that should've been addressed long ago, but FCA refuses to fix them. There are even class-action lawsuits against FCA for UConnect malfunctions right now. These aren't rare occurrences. Should I have to wait months, if not years, for a settlement to be made? This issue has plagued FCA vehicles since this screen has been implemented, and it is dangerous to let thousands of vehicles run with such an unsafe product that is critical for the vehicle to function properly.

Vehicle engine shuts off while driving. Once, sitting at a stop light. Once traveling at 45mph on a country road and once accelerating up a hill at 20mph. Dash says "place vehicle in park and turn key to start" (paraphrased). The vehicle goes from running to not running with no warning, causing loss of power steering, brakes, etc. Took vehicle to certified RAM service center who said 'there are no codes and we cannot reproduce the issue, so no diagnosis possible' (paraphrased). No error codes, no warning lamps. If this happens in highway traffic with my 16 year old son driving, it could cause a fatal crash.

I was driving and my high beams went out dash lights went out and windshield wipers went on on there own . I then came to a stop light and applied the break and all of the sudden the truck red lined and took off at full speed . I then turned the truck off to kill power to the motor due to it having electrical knob shifter and electrical transfer case This accident has caused my 3 hospital stays and 2 surgery’s
