2018 RAM 1500 Complaints

AFTER GETTING BACK IN MY VEHICLE PARKED ON A CITY STREET I RESTARTED IT AND PUT IT INTO DRIVE. IT WOULD NOT MOVE. I REVVED THE ENGINE BUT IT STILL DID NOT MOVE. I FINALLY SHIFTED INTO PARK AND BACK INTO DRIVE AGAIN AND THEM IT WORKED. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANLY TIMES BEFORE AND THE SELECTOR SWITCH HAS EVEN JUMPED OUT OF PARK INTO REVERSE ALMOST AS MANY TIMES AND ON ONE OCCASION IT RESULTED IN PROPERTY DAMAGE OF ALMOST $3000. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT I BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS ABOUT BUT REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT BECAUSE OF PROFIT. I DO HAVE A VIDEO OF THIS LATEST INCIDENT IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED.

MY U-CONNECT SCREEN IS BEING TAKEN OVER WITH WEATHER ALERTS SO OFTEN THAT IT IS DANGEROUS! THESE ARE COMING FROM SIRIUS TRAVEL LINK AND CANNOT BE TURNED OFF. ONE MUST ACKNOWLEDGE THEM BY CLICKING THE "X" OR "OK" EACH TIME AS THEY DO NOT TIME OUT OR OTHERWISE DISAPPEAR ON THEIR OWN ACCORD. PLEASE FORCE EITHER DODGE, U-CONNECT, OR SIRIUS TO INCLUDE A DISABLE BUTTON!

I WAS DRIVING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY, AND MY VEHICLE WENT INTO PARK BY ITSELF. IT APPEARED A STRANGE MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN SAYING 'CAR NOT IN DRIVE, SHIFT TO PARK'. ALSO MY VEHICLE DISPLAYED AN ALERT MESSAGE SAYING 'ALERT: ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, THE VEHICLE ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM HAS DETECTED A MALFUNCTION'. ALSO ANOTHER ALERT WAS DISPLAYED AS 'ALERT: ENGINE SYSTEM MALFUNCTION'. NOT ONLY DID MY VEHICLE HAVE THESE MALFUNCTIONS BUT MY HEATED STEERING WHEEL AND SEATS WERE BEING USED BY ITSELF. I WAS NOT IN CONTROL OF THESE PANELS. LAST, MY SENSORS ON MY RAM DO NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY, IF I AM PULLING UP CLOSE TO AN OBJECT MY SENSORS WILL NOT 'BEEP'. ONLY TIME THEY GO OFF IS IF I HIT THE OBJECTS IN FRONT OF ME. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, MY 'CHECK ENGINE LIGHT' WAS ON AND THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE INDICATED THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS BELOW 41 F WHEN IN FACT IT WAS 65 F.

THE NAVIGATION AND CONTROL SYSTEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE UCONNECT SYSTEM- SYSTEM IS IN REBOOT STATUS FOR THE LAST 3 DAYS - 1000'S OF 2018 VEHICLES AFFECTED - REBOOTING EVERY 60 SECONDS AND LOSS OF NAVIGATION, BACK UP CAMERA AND OTHER FUNCTIONS. NO FIX SO FAR FROM CHRYSLER - AFFECTING JEEP, DODGE, AND RAM

TRUCK WONT GO INTO REVERSE WHEN TURNING THE ROTARY DIAL. THIS HAPPENS AFTER DRIVING THE TRUCK FOR A COUPLE OF MILES. IF YOU TURN THE ROTARY DIAL TO THE THE R POSITION IT JUST SITS THERE LIKE IT IS IN NEUTRAL. IN ORDER TO GET IT TO GO INTO REVERSE, YOU HAVE TO TURN THE DIAL BACK TO P, THEN TURN THE DIAL TO D AND THEN TURN IT BACK TO R. THIS IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IF YOU ARE ON AN INCLINE AND TURN IT TO R IT WILL ROLL FORWARD AND NOT GO INTO REVERSE.
