2016 RAM 2500 Complaints

My truck will shift in to gear without the key being in or the truck being on. I found a recall (T79) listed but my vin does not seem to be listed under this recall.

The tailgate still falls open unexpectedly while driving after the tailgate recall repair was done.. The tailgate fell open and hit my camper power jack and dented the tailgate above the handle.. I'd like the tailgate latch to be fixed correctly and the dent fixed as well.. im afraid to haul anything in the back that could potentially fall or slide out due to this issue..

Engine running rough. I drive daily on the freeway and pull a trailer, it is not safe to drive on a busy freeway or any road ( I am a self-employed contractor who now has to rent a truck). Both I took to an independent service center and authorized Crysler Dealer. Check engine light came on November 30th. P219A - Bank 1 Air-Fuel Ratio Imbalance PERMANENT. It was starting on and off. The truck was purchased from Holz Dealership in 2019 and financed for $35,967.63. Nothing was disclosed about engine issues.

My transmission got so hot climing up a hill it caught the excused on fire, thankfully had water in the truck an put the fire out no warnings nothing, just flush transmission hot went to stop an realized it was on fire, had to have transmission rebuilt an cooler lines an cooler repaired, still not runing right.

Engine Fan / Radiator Shroud. During hot weather and engine temperature, the engine fan engaged. Due to the high ambient, I believe the radiator shroud was hot and the material was soft, it became deformed under the vacuum created by the fan cause it to interfere with the engine fans path of rotation. The interference caused the fan and shroud to shred each other sending shrapnel in all directions, including into the back side of the radiator, engine compartment. Plastic debris was found on top of the valve cover, battery, radiator, exhaust manifold. This problem has been reported by numerus online forms. This failure was inspected by the dealer and I was informed it was not under warranty, but drivable and safe. Their recommendation however was to replace the fan, shroud and radiator. However, they have seen cases with far worse damage causing catastrophic failure of the radiator leaving the vehicle stranded

For the longest (approximately two years now), my backup camera would "go out" sometimes when I engage reverse, or it would show squiggly lines to where I can't use it. This happens quite often - especially when I need it. The truck is available for inspection upon request and I also have videos of the issue. For a truck of the height, I'm not able to see objects, animals or people when backing up from a stop. I took it too a dealer near me and they inspected the system and found nothing wrong. But the same problem persist. There are no warning lamps or lights when this happens. Pictures are attached for reference.

driving down Interstate 75 going 70 mph my 2016 Dodge Ram 2500 stalled. I had to pull over and i sat on the side of the road for 30 minutes before my truck would start back up. I made it back to Ocala and it stalled again. I waited 30 minutes and it started back up. The next day i dropped my truck off at Phillips Dodge Ocala FL. Phillips diagnosed that my TPIM needs to be replaced. I started doing research on the TPIM and noticed 2007-2015 the Dodge Rams 1500, 2500, 3500, 4500, 5500 all had a recall. How is it my 2016 Dodge Ram 2500 is having the same exact issues as the previous models? Why is my 2016 not covered under this recall?
