2013 RAM 2500 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 RAM 2500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS OR WHILE PARKED, THE SERVICE TIRE PRESSURE, SRS AIR BAG, AND LOW COOLANT WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. ALSO, THE RADIO WOULD TURN ON AND OFF WITH THE VOLUME EXCESSIVELY LOUD. ALL THE LOCKS IN THE VEHICLE WOULD LOCK AND UNLOCK PERIODICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BODY CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE REMEDY FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 85,000.

I AM HAVING WHAT THEY CALL THE "DEATH WOBBLE" WHEN I DRIVE OVER 65 MPH AND HIT A POT HOLE, THE FRONT END STARTS TO SHIMMY UP AND DOWN VIOLENTLY. I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN QUICKLY NOT TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO TENDS TO VIBRATE BADLY ON TURNS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 RAM 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END COLLISION. IN ADDITION, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DID NOT SHUT DOWN, AND THE SEAT BELTS DID NOT RETRACT. PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT, THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V459000 (AIR BAGS). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER HOWEVER A DETERMINATION HAD NOT BEEN ESTABLISHED WHETHER THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED OR NOT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WAS ONE INJURY THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE CONTACT SUFFERED FROM PAIN IN THE SHOULDER, KNEE, ANKLE, AND NECK. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

TRUCK STALLS INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. OVER THE PAST 18 MONTH NOT A FUEL FILTER ISSUE.

2013 RAM 4X4 CUMMINS WITH SEVERE STEERING ISSUES. THE STEERING WAS NOTICEABLY UNSTABLE AT AROUND 38,000 MILES. THE DRAG LINKS WERE BOTH REPLACED, WITH MOOG GREASABLES (NON WARRANTY PARTS) AND SO WERE ALL THE TIRES (TO TRY AND ELIMINATE POSSIBILITIES). I AM CURRENTLY AT 44,000 MILES AND JUST GOT THE TRUCK FROM THE DEALERSHIP AFTER AN ALIGNMENT. THE STEERING IS STILL "UNSTABLE" AND I HAVE TO COMPENSATE TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT ON THE ROAD. IT RESEMBLES A DRUNK DRIVER IS DRIVING THE TRUCK. I DON'T DRIVE THE TRUCK AS A DAILY DRIVER ONLY FOR TRIPS AND PULLING. I SEEMS TO BE MORE UNSTABLE WHEN ACCELERATING AND WHEN THE ROAD IS UNEVEN OR BUMPY AS IF SOMETHING IS LOOSE IN THE FRONT END. I AM ALSO A MECHANICAL PERSON AND HAVE BEEN UNDER THE TRUCK SEVERAL TIMES AND CANNOT SEE OR FEEL ANYTHING LOOSE (NEITHER DID THE DEALER). I HAVE EVEN REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS WHILE CHECKING THE CALIPERS THINKING ONE OR MORE WERE "STICKING". EVERYTHING WAS OK WITH THE BRAKES BUT PADS GOT REPLACED WITH NEW CERAMICS ANYWAY. AT AROUND 35,000 MILES I NOTICED A "SLIPPING" OR ROUGH NOISE WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP ESPECIALLY WHILE TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY NOTICED THE NOISE BUT WAS A NORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL. THE NOISE RESEMBLES TIRES SLIGHTLY LOOSING TRACTION ON LOOSE STONES AND IS STILL HAPPENING TO THIS DAY. THE STEERING HAS GOTTEN WORSE EVEN WITH THE NEW PARTS INSTALLED AND I'M GETTING VERY CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. CAN ANYONE PLEASE SHED SOME LIGHT ON THE STEERING ISSUE OR IF THE NOISE I HEAR HAS ANY BEARING ON THE STEERING ISSUE?

TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO A SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT ON 3/12/2016 AT 10 AM. WENT BACK TO THE DEALER ON 3/16/2016 AT 11:30 AM DUE TO NOT GETTING ANY RETURN PHONE CALLS FROM THE MESSAGES I LEFT AND FOUND THAT NOTHING HAD BEEN DONE. THESE RECALLS COULD BE DANGEROUS BUT SAN ANTONIO CHRYSLER DODGE DOES NOT THINK SO.

MY 2013 RAM 2500 HAS A CRACKED FUEL FILLER NECK DUE TO A POOR DESIGN, BEING A WEAK PLASTIC MATERIAL. THE PLASTIC NECK HAS CRACKED BY THE FUEL PUMP NOZZLE SEATING DOWN ON IT AND PLASTIC FROM THE NECK HAS GONE DOWN INTO MY FUEL TANK CONTAMINATING THE FUEL SYSTEM CAUSING A POSSIBLE FUEL SYSTEM CLOG AND SHUT DOWN OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO CONCERNED THAT FUEL MAY POSSIBLY DRIP DOWN THE EXTERIOR OF THE FUEL NECK ASSEMBLY. THE INDECENT OCCURRED WHILE FILLING AT A FUEL STATION, VEHICLE WAS STOPPED NOT RUNNING. INSERTED FUEL PUMP NOZZLE, TOP OFF FILLER NECK BROKE AND FELL INTO FUEL TANK. MICHELLE A SUPERVISOR FROM RAM CORPORATE HAS DENIED THE WARRANTY REPAIR EVEN THOUGH MY TRUCK IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, RAM CHRYSLER GROUP HAS PROVIDED ME WITH A CASE NUMBER WILL PROVIDE IF NEEDED.

MY NEW RAM 2500 HD TRUCK HAS "DEATH WOBBLE". WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD JUST RIGHT THE FRONT END VIOLENTLY SHAKES OUT OF CONTROL UNTIL YOU ALMOST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT SHAKES SO HARD I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DON'T HAVE TO REBUILD THE FRONT END EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 5 TIMES TO BE REPAIRED AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. I WAS TOLD BY THE NEW SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM THAT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE 100% FIXED AND THAT IT WILL ALWAYS COME BACK. AND THAT I'M LUCKY THAT IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED A COUPLE TIMES A YEAR. THIS HAS BEEN A VERY DANGEROUS, AGGRAVATING, WASTE OF TIME DEALING WITH SUCH A DANGEROUS ISSUE THEY SEEM TO NOT TAKE VERY SERIOUSLY. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE ABOUT MARCH 2014 AND THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS JAN 9TH 2016.

THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AT HIGHWAY SPEED AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD.

VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT NEW. AFTER HAVING A NEW RADIO BUT IN MY TRUCK I NOTICE WHITE SPOTS ON THE SCREEN AND THE RADIO WAS GOING ON AND OFF AND THE SCREEN WOULD GO BLANK. THE SAFTEY BACK UP CAMERA WOULDN'T WORK. AGAIN I WOULD TRY TO TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND ON TO RESET THE RADIO BUT IT DIDN'T WORK. I TOOK IT BACK TO NAPLETON AND AGAIN THEY REPLACED THE RADIO AGAIN.
