Firestone trans force Ht. 275/70R18 These tires came from factory on my Dodge Ram. The truck is around two years old and only with 13,500 miles on it. All four tires are failing and cracking on the side walls. I know earlier models of the same exact tire was recalled for the same issue.

Intermittent abs and traction control alarm. Very random and can come on without notice. Similar issue to the recall issued in September for the 1500 ram.

Started getting an alarm for abs and traction control alarm with 15000 miles, it would come and go every few thousand miles. Truck now has 44000 miles and the alarm has appeared twice in the past 4000 miles. This almost caused an accident as it disables the abs at any given time. The dealer says it is the Hydraulic Control Unit.

On 9 September, while driving, I got an emergency dashboard notice that stated Throttle System Malfunction contact dealer. It went out and then another immediately flashed that stated Exhaust System Malfunction contact dealer. The vehicle lost power within seconds after the second notice. I coasted to a stop on the side of the road. Once stopped, smoke quickly started coming out of the engine compartment and then flames. I contacted 911, an engine arrived but the truck was fully engaged and completely burnt.

The UCONNECT digital center display occasionally goes completely dark or shuts off. Sometimes displays an error message like "uconnect box requires service". This display is essential for managing everything from air conditioning to music and navigation. When the windshield fogs up and you need to adjust airflow while driving for visibility, this malfunction can be distracting and pose a safety hazard. Additionally, the rear backup camera fails to function when the screen is blank, which is particularly concerning in this long-bed truck when reversing in parking lots. This issue has been presented to the dealer, and the vehicle has been dropped off for service. Initially, the problems were minor, such as difficulties with CarPlay connectivity and the screen rebooting, but I could not replicate the issue. However, it has since escalated, occurring with every trip, and the dealer is now able to observe the problem firsthand.

Transmission failed in heavy interstate traffic while towing 35 ft 15,000 lbs RV. My RAM 3500 only has 19,000 miles and is still under new vehicle warranty. The event: While travelling on Washington DC beltway in lane 3 of 4 without warning my transmission starting slipping. No abnormal noise, no dash lamps warning of an issue. As I pressed on accelerator my speed continued to decrease. I quickly signaled to right lane in an attempt to get off the road. I was slowing at a rate I was concerned I may be stopped on highway with vehicles traveling 55 mph approaching. I did make the shoulder in between an exit and entrance ramp with barely enough room for a tow truck to be in front. I had 3 ft on my left with 55mph traffic passing constantly. The vehicle was towed to a local RAM dealer as my wife and I waited on the highway with RV for second tow service. This all could have been avoided. Why was a TSB or recall already in place? RAM has many transmission failures on the 2022 Aisin transmission noted on RAM truck forums. I had read about it but considered myself lucky as I was almost 2 years driving truck without any problems. My safety, my wife and tow truck drivers safety were put at considerable risk due to Stellantis not alerting RAM dealers of a potential transmission failure.
