Consumer Description

MY 2012 RAM 1500 HAS A KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND IT USUALLY FADES OUT AFTER RUNNING THE ENGINE A LITTLE WHILE. ALSO THE THE POWER DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK USING THE SWITCH AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WILL NOT ROLL DOWN. THE AIR CONDITIONER SEEMS TO RUN WARM FROM TIME TO TIME AND HAS BEEN FILLED A FEW TIMES BUT NO LEAKS WERE DETECTED. THESE ISSUES HAPPENED OVER A COUPLE OF YEARS OWNING THIS TRUCK. I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK WITH AROUND 30,000 MILES IN 2013/2014 IT NOW HAS 50,000 MILES.
