TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE PINON NUT LOOSENED FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH CAUSED THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE TO LOCK UP. IN ADDITION, THE DRIVESHAFT LOCKED UP AND THEN FRACTURED IN HALF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO PATTERSON CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (1611 US-259 BUS, KILGORE, TX 75662) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR END LOCKED UP ON THE VEHICLE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

WHILE WORKING UNDER THE TRUCK THE AIR SUSPENSION FAILED CAUSING THE TRUCK TO DROP. I HAVE ALSO BEEN DRIVING THE TRUCK AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON THE FRONT OR REAR DRIVERS AIR BAG DEFLATES ALMOST CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALER WHO STATED WITH THE COLD WEATHER THERE ARE MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THE 2013 AND 2014 RAM AIR SUSPENSION FAILING. HE ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS A NEWER COMPRESSOR INSTALLED IN NEWER TRUCKS ALONG WITH BETTER COMPONENTS THAT SOLVED THE ISSUE.

VEHICLE HAS ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING. THE COMPUTER CONTROLLING THE POWER STEERING HAS FAILED AT 92,000 MILES. PRETTY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE SIZE, WEIGHT & TIRES ON A BIG TRUCK LIKE THIS. I UNDERSTAND THAT AT 92,000 MILE THINGS FAIL BUT THE COMPUTER THAT CONTROLS STEERING IS DANGEROUS. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID CAN'T HELP ME. IT HAPPENED WHEN THE WEATHER GOT COLD HERE IN ATLANTA.

PERIODICALLY WHEN TURNING MY STEERING WHEEL THE DASH AND RADIO SCREEN TURN OFF AND RE-BOOT. WHEN MAKING A TURN, LEFT OR RIGHT, EVERY DISPLAY AND GAUGE ON THE DASH AND THE RADIO/ BACK UP CAMERA SCREEN ALL SHUT OFF AND RE-BOOT AS IF YOU HAVE JUST PUT THE KEY IN AND TURNED THE IGNITION TO THE ON POSITION. I HAVE NO INFORMATION FOR ROUGHLY 15 TO 30 SECONDS.
