2017 RAM 3500 Complaints

V06/NHTSA 19V-021 THE FIX FOR THIS RECALL IS NOT ADEQUATE , WELDING AN COMPONENT THAT HAS PART ITS FUNCTIONALLY, ADJUSTMENT AND MAINTAINABILITY, RENDERING IT USELESS , COULD BE CONSIDERED CAUSING IRREPARABLE DAMAGE. I BELIEVE RECALLS SHOULD NOT DAMAGE A VEHICLE , BUT RETURN IT AS FUNCTIONAL AS INTENDED.

WHILE DRIVING TRUCK ON CRUISE CONTROL ON FLORIDA TURNPIKE AT 68MPH, NO POTHOLES OR ABNORMALITIES IN ROADWAY. TRUCK BEGAN TO SHIMMY REAL BAD. NURSED THE TRUCK HOME AND INSPECTED ALL ASPECTS OF FRONT END AND TIRE PRESSURE. PRESSURE WAS SET AT 80PSI PER MANUFACTURE RECOMMENDATION FOR FRONT TIRES. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED BOTH FRONT NEXEN 235/80R17 TIRES HAD INNER WALL SEPARATION. THE TRUCK HAS ONLY 5734 MILES ON IT AND IT IS NOT ABUSED. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED THAT THESE TIRES FAILED AND COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC IF I WAS HAULING MY 8000 CAMPER WITH FAMILY INSIDE OF IT. DEALERSHIP WOULD NO LET ME PHOTO THE TIRES, THEY SAID THEY WERE IN COMMUNICATION WITH NEXEN TO GET THEM REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 RAM 3500. THE CONTACT RECIEVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V021000 (STEERING). LITHIA CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE OF KLAMATH FALLS (2675 WASHBURN WAY, KLAMATH FALLS, OR 97603, (855) 570-6024) STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE AND WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE ELECTRIC FAN WENT OUT AFTER 1YEAR JUST OVER 50,000 MILES AND IT SEEMS IT HAPPENING ON ENOUGH VEHICLES THAT THE FAN IS ON BACK ORDER. THE DAYTONA DODGE DEALERSHIP MISDIAGNOSED RADIATOR AND REPLACED IT, AND REFUSED TO REIMBURSE AFTER IT WAS CHECKED AND FOUND TO BE GOOD. THIS MIGHT HAVE MADE INSTALLING FAN EASIER. I MENTIONED THIS IN CASE IT'S A ON GOING PRACTICE.

'TAKATA RECALL' MIKE COMPLAINT IS WITH NEXEN TIRES, THE TIRES HAVE LESS THAN 16,000 MILES ON THEM AND WERE NOTED TO BE SEPARATING I CONTACTED NEXEN TIRE WHO TOLD ME TO LOOK AT THE WARRANTY AND REFUNDED ME A CHECK FOR $150 FOR TIRES AND INSTALLATION FOR OVER $450 FOR SOMETHING THAT IS NOT MY FAULT. I JUST FOUND ONLINE WHERE NIXON TIRES HAVE HAD INCIDENTS WITH THE SAME EXACT TIRE THAT I HAVE , I BELIEVE THIS WAS AN ISSUE THEY ARE AWARE ABOUT AND FAILED THE CONSUMER. I HAVE EXCHANGE THE TIRES FOR TWO NEW MEXICAN TIRES THINKING THIS MIGHT OF BEEN AN ISOLATED INCIDENT BUT BOTH PLACES FROM WHICH I GOT THE TIRES REPLACED THAT SAID THAT NEXT AND TIRES WE'RE SEPARATING AND THAT WAS THE CAUSE OF MY TIRE DAMAGE BUT NIXON HAS REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ME MY MONEY PLEASE HELP ME

THE ENTIRE TRUCK SHAKES AT 70MPH AND ABOVE. IT FEELS LIKE THE TIRES ARE EXTREMELY OUT OF BALANCE. THE DEALER HAS BALANCED AND ROAD FORCE BALANCED THE TIRES, BUT THIS HAS NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT IS UNWILLING TO FIX IT.

MY TAILGATE KEEPS OPENING ON IT'S OWN WHENEVER IT WANTS TO. IT OPENS WHILE DRIVING AND PARKED. I TRANSPORT RVS FOR A LIVING AND IF THE TAILGATE FALLS AND I DON'T REALIZE IT, IT CAN DAMAGE THE UNIT AND I HAVE TO PAY TO FIX IT, WHEN IT IS A CHRYSLER KNOWN ISSUE. THE RECALL THAT JUST CAME OUT IS FOR ONLY SHORT BEDS AND I HAVE A LONG BED. I NEED THIS ISSUED RESOLVED UNDER THE RECALL, BUT CANNOT BECAUSE IT'S SUPPOSEDLY NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *DT*JB *DT*JB *DT*JB

MULTIPLE TIMES MY TAILGATE HAS JUST FLIPPED OPEN ON IT'S OWN, WHEN PARKED AND HITTING THE LOCK BUTTON ON THE KEY FOB, AND WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THERE IS CURRENTLY A NEW RECALL ON RAM TRUCKS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM BUT THE RECALL EXCLUDES TRUCKS WITH 8' BEDS. MY TRUCK HAS AN 8' BED - AND HAS THIS PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

2017 LEXUS ES 350. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FLAW IN THE SOFTWARE WHICH RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE GARAGE AND WAS TOTALED. *JS THE CONSUMER INQUIRED IF THE ACCIDENT WAS RELATED TO THE DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP THAT BECAME A SAFETY RECALL. *JS

I WAS HAULING A 15,000 LB FIFTH WHEEL WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT ABOUT 45MPH COMING UP TO THE LIGHT ON HWY. 35 AND HWY. 20 INTERSECTION NORTHBOUND IN INDIANA. I TAPPED MY FOOT ON THE BREAK TO SHUT MY CRUISE CONTROL OFF LIKE I NORMALLY DO AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE THROTTLE TO CONTROL THE ACCELERATION TO THE LIGHT. I REALIZE I WASN'T SLOWING DOWN PROPERLY AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND STOOD BOTH FEET ON THE BREAK TO TRY TO STOP TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I ENDED UP HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME EVEN WITH THE TRUCK AND TRAILER BRAKES APPLIED. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT GO OFF IN EITHER VEHICLE. EVERYTHING WENT SO QUICKLY, DIDN'T KNOW WHY THE TRUCK DIDN'T WANT TO SLOW DOWN. I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEM WITH THE TRUCK OR MY 2018 TRUCK. I BELIEVE THE CRUISE CONTROL NOT SHUTTING OFF WAS THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT. I WOULD LIKE YOU TO COME AND INVESTIGATE IT TO SEE IF THAT WAS THE ISSUE OF THE ACCIDENT. I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED IT.
