2013 RAM 1500 Visibilitywiper Problems

I bought it in 2018 & 1 month later no radio, gps, backup any of the stereo system worked. The only thing that worked was volume. I took it in & they charged me $125 diagnosis & was gonna be over $600 for new system. I never got it fixed. In 2022 with only 122000 miles it had to go in the shop for an engine overhaul because of the problem with missing on 5th cylinder. I have never owned a Dodge Ram before & never will again. I have had nothing but problems with it. I made phone calls & wrote emails & the closest I got to a recall is 2014 was the cutoff year & mine is 2013. I did back into a dumpster because the backup camera doesn’t work in January of 2020. I had insurance with White’s Insurance out of Purdy but I don’t have...

All instruments and control of window wipers stopped responding to their switches. Wipers will not turn off, no horn, no working switches on steering wheel, communication to abs system, trailer brakes, data from abs not being received. Dash cluster flashes out for about 10 seconds while driving not knowing if the vehicle is still running while on the highway or freeway. Everything is pointing to the steering wheel clock spring. All replaced but still no controls or horn or ability to run vehicle safely on the roads. Will not pass inspection from this issue.

The heat works on the passenger side but not the drivers side. This makes it impossible to see on cold days because the defrost will not work. It is in the shop now. They have changed actuators, blend doors, heater core and still can't find the issue. When checking the internet, I see that this is a common problem with Dodge, Ram, Chrysler vehicles.

THE HEATER CORE WAS LEAKING. DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER THE HEATER CORE STARTED LEAKING AND MY WINDOWS INSTANTLY FOGGED OVER NOT ALLOWING ME TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD OR SIDE WINDOWS. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER TO CLEAR MY WINDOWS. AFTER THAT I NOTICED THAT I HAD LITTLE TO NO HEAT IN THE TRUCK AND STARTED TO SMELL THE ANTIFREEZE INSIDE OF THE TRUCK. CALLED DEALER THEY QUOTED $1200-1500 FOR REPAIR. I ASKED IF THEY HAD ISSUES WITH THAT HAPPENING AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD GET 2-3 TRUCKS EVERY WINTER. I HAD THE REPAIR DONE BY A INDEPENDENT SHOP WHICH WAS CHEAPER. ALSO HAVE A CO WORK WITH SAME TRUCK YEAR AND A WEEK AFTER MINE WENT SO DID HIS.

HEAT BLOWS OUT OF THE PASSENGERS SIDE VENTS AND DEFROSTER BUT NOT THE DRIVERS SIDE. THIS CREATES VISIBILITY PROBLEMS AS THE WIND SHIELD FOGS EASILY AND FREQUENTLY.

DEFROST DOES NOT WORK, IT IS CURRENTLY BLOWING COLD AIR. THIS MAKES IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE ON COLD MORNINGS. I'VE ALMOST BEEN HIT TWICE PULLING OUT OF MY ROAD. I'VE TAKEN IT TO 2 SHOPS BOTH GAVE ME 2 DIFFERENT EXPENSIVE ANSWERS BUT BOTH SAY IT'S A COMMON ISSUE. I'VE LOOKED ONLINE AND IT IS IN FACT A COMMON ISSUE, AND NO ONE HAS A DEFINITE FIX. SO I CAN SPEND $1500 TO 'MAYBE FIX THE ISSUE, OR SPEND $2300 AND REPLACE THE WHOLE SYSTEM.

NO HEAT ON DRIVER'S SIDE COMING FROM ANY VENTS. VISIBILITY AFFECTED IN COLD WEATHER. FIRST NOTICED AROUND OCTOBER 22, 2018 WHEN HEATER WAS TURNED ON WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. CONTINUED WHEN IN TOWN AND STATIONARY.

NO HEAT ON DRIVERS SIDE

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ON A RAINY DAY WITH WIPERS ON, SUDDENLY THEY FREEZE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND DO NOT RESPOND TO ON/OFF OR THE DIFFERENT LEVELS, THEY SIT STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD. AFTER ROUGHLY 10 MINUTES I TURN THEM ON TO FULL SPEED AND THEY WORK, BUT THE HOMING POSITION NOW HAS THEM SITTING STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN (THINK OF SCHOOL BUS), INSTEAD OF LAYING DOWN PER USUAL. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND FORUMS ALL AROUND HAVE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE, SOME WORSE SOME NOT. THE WIPERS FREEZING COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT HAD INCLEMENT WEATHER BEEN AN ISSUE OR THE RAIN WAS COMING DOWN HARDER DECREASING VISIBILITY.

NON OF THE GAUGES WORK IN THE STEERING COLUMN INCLUDING GAS RPM AND SPEED. THE WIPERS RUN NON STOP AND CAN'T BE TURNED OFF. BLINKERS DON'T WHICH IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. WE HAVE HAD IT INTO THE MECHANIC AND THE COULD NOT FIND WHAT WAS WRONG. HUGE BILL NO ANSWERS USELESS VAN. THE GAGE SAYS NO BUS. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.

MY MULTI-FUNCTION DISPLAY ON MY 2013 RAM 1500 HAS GONE BLANK. THIS IS A CRITICAL SAFETY DEVICE BECAUSE I HAVE LOST THE USE OF MY BACKUP CAMERA WHICH IS INVALUABLE ON THIS LARGE VEHICLE. I HAVE ALREADY BUMPED INTO SMALL OBJECTS WHILE IN REVERSE, WHICH I WOULD NOT OF IF MY DISPLAY WAS WORKING. AND BY THE GRACE OF GOD, I HAVE NARROWLY ADVERTED A MORE SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE DISPLAY ALSO SHOWS OTHER NON-CRITICAL FUNCTIONS, SUCH AS THE RADIO AND NAVIGATION, BUT I AM BRING IT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE NTSB BECAUSE OF THE SO IMPORTANT BACK UP CAMERA THAT PROVIDES A VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE, ENHANCING THE DRIVERS REARWARD VISIBILITY. I HAVE CHECKED THE FUSES AND TRIED RESETTING THE COMPUTER BY DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY, BUT THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THE DISPLAY UNIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A RIDICULOUS COST. THE DEALER...

BOUGHT THE PICKUP IN JANUARY 2016 ONE PREVIOUS OWNER EVERYTHING ORIGINAL THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT CONNECTOR PIN NEEDS TIGHTENED CONSTANTLY BECAUSE THE LOW BEAM HIGH BEAM LOSES CONNECTION AND WON'T COME ON UNLESS YOU PULL HEADLIGHT AND TIGHTEN THE CONNECTOR PINS. IT HAPPENS AT VARIOUS TIMES IN VARIOUS SITUATIONS WHILE DRIVING IT WILL ALSO FLICKER ON AND OFF. PARKLIGHT WORKS FINE. I DON'T KNOW ACTUAL DATE BECAUSE IT IS SO FREQUENTLY SO THE DATE IS AN ESTIMATE. THE SPEED VARIES ALSO FIRST TIME I WAS AT 65 ON FREEWAY. *TR

WIPERS ARE ON WITH TRUCK OFF HAD TO PULL FUSE.

I STARTED NOTICING MY DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT FLICKERING FOR A FEW DAYS AND NOW THE LOW AND HIGH BEAM LIGHTS ARE BOTH OUT. I ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE THE BULBS AND REALIZED THEY WERE FINE. THE DAY AFTER, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNED ON BY THEMSELVES AND NOW MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WONT ROLL DOWN. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS MY (TIPM) TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE AND IT WILL COST AROUND $800 OR MORE TO REPLACE. SO I DID SOME RESEARCH AND CANNOT BELIEVE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING TO PAY THIS MUCH MONEY FOR A FAULTY PART AND FROM THE SOUNDS OF IT, IM LUCKY TO HAVE THE LITTLE PROBLEMS I DO. REPORTS OF PEOPLES VEHICLES STALLING, NOT STARTING, AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING, ETC.. HOW IS THIS NOT A RECALL? PEOPLES LIVES COULD BE AT RISK.
