2024 RAM 2500- Maryville, TN
LT275/70R18 Firestone E Transforce HT2 Upon seeing warning lamp for low air second time, tire was taken to independent shop for inspection and repair. Tech stated tire (23000 miles) could not be repaired because of a safety issue due to sidewall seperation defect with no sign of impact or run flat damage. The rubber was soft and thin. Could have been catastrophic had it blown out on highway. I purchased a replacement. When I took the tire to a Firestone retail store, the manager said "It's hard to tell what happened to it" obviously denying a defect and refered Me to "corporate" to try and get credit. I told him I was concerned about the other three tires because they have the same batch number. DOT VN15 TH7 5123. He stated They would do a visual inspection nothing else. I have the tire if needed for inspection. I do not feel safe driving on the other tires. This lot should be recalled.

Brakes always collapse to the Floor. You cannot stick your toe in between the brake and the floorboard. But if you pump up the brakes like you used in the 1970''s the brake will rise and you can put a full foot underneath between the brake and the floorboard. Those making the brakes stop the truck 80%better. But if you put it in 4x4 mode there is almost no stopping power at all. You only have 10% of your brakes. Both issues can cause death and or injuries! If 4x4 is used on the road for rain or snow it will cause death and if your lucky just a major injury!!!!!!

2024 RAM 2500- Akron, OH
The vehicle experienced repeated electrical and no-start issues believed to be related to the RF/electrical communication system. The truck has been returned to the dealership repeatedly for this issue and recently spent approximately two months at the dealership for diagnosis and repair. After finally being returned, the vehicle was completely dead the very next morning and would not start. The vehicle has also experienced dangerous electrical failures while being driven. During one incident at night, the headlights and interior electrical system became extremely dim and began flickering while an employee was operating the truck. Visibility was significantly reduced to the point the driver could barely see the roadway. During the same event, the brake pedal became abnormally hard to press intermittently, creating a serious safety concern while driving. The failure also occurred on our business lot where the truck was blocking multiple trailers needed for scheduled customer deliveries, creating operational disruption and safety concerns related to moving equipment and trailers around an inoperable heavy-duty truck. The dealership reportedly replaced or repaired an RF-related component/module during the repair process. However, the problem appears unresolved because the truck failed again immediately after being returned from service. Symptoms have included: * Complete battery drain/no-start condition * Flickering and dimming headlights/electrical systems * Intermittent hard brake pedal condition * Repeated electrical-related issues * Extended dealer downtime * Ongoing unresolved repair attempts The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. This truck is used daily for commercial/business operations. Reliability concerns are significant because unexpected electrical failure or no-start conditions can leave the vehicle stranded or create hazardous driving conditions. The issue has been reproduced after dealer repair attempts. Based on the symptoms and

I was in my yard backing my truck up and the camera froze in the location that I was in and the sensors did not beep. The distance that I was backing up was not very far. It wasn't until I backed into a post in the front of my house, that I realized the camera and sensors had temporarily failed.

Description of the Issue: When full windshield defrost is selected—using either the infotainment system or physical HVAC controls—the system does not direct full airflow to the windshield. Instead, heated air is split between the windshield and floor vents, reducing airflow and heat at the windshield edges. As a result, ice forms and remains on the driver’s side windshield edge, beginning around the 11–12 o’clock steering wheel position and extending to the windshield edge. This occurs during cold conditions and restricts driver visibility, creating a safety hazard while driving. Safety Impact: The driver is unable to clear ice from the windshield edges, limiting visibility of adjacent lanes, pedestrians, and roadway conditions. When defrost is needed most, the system does not perform as required, preventing the driver from maintaining safe visibility. Inconsistent Operation: The HVAC/defrost system operates inconsistently under similar conditions. I have video evidence showing the system working correctly at times and failing at other times. In multiple cases, the only change was shutting the vehicle off and letting it sit. In one instance, the defrost later worked correctly the same day when ambient temperatures were warmer, suggesting a possible temperature-related or control issue. Videos documenting this behavior are available, including videos posted on YouTube. Additional HVAC Control Issue: The HVAC system will randomly set the temperature to 76°F and become unresponsive for approximately one minute. During this time, the driver cannot change any HVAC settings, creating distraction and preventing timely adjustment to address fogging or icing. This behavior is also documented on video. Repair Attempts: The vehicle has been taken to two RAM dealerships, and multiple parts have been replaced under warranty. The issue remains unresolved. A customer service case was also opened with RAM, but the HVAC and defrost issues have not been corrected.

2024 RAM 2500- Yukon, OK
When coming to a stop the truck has a very spongey pedal, in order to stop the vehicle you must allow for the stop by applying brake way in advance to be able to stop. When you applying pressure to the brake pedal the pedal is soft and goes almost to the carpet floor. When towing you feel extremely concerned if you can stop especially in an emergency braking situation. This is a problem that is ongoing and is happening every time you brake. The truck has 27k miles
