All Visibilitywiper Complaints
Wiper works intermittently, sometimes it functions, sometimes it doesn't turn off. This causes a dangerous condition in rain storms. After some research it appears to be a condition across the entire Ram platform and needs to be addressed because it is a serious safety issue. Wiper motor and switch have been replaced with new parts but the issue continues.
Heater blender door actuator not allowing defrost to warm the windshield and defrost making visibility impossible. This seems to be an ongoing problem with ram trucks and should be included in a recall fix
The heater core is clogged and there is no heat on drivers side. No way to defrost windshield impairing visability.
THE CHROME TRIM PIECE IN CENTER CONSOLE OF LERAMIE REFLECTS SUNLIGHT INTO YOUR EYES WHEN SUN HITS IT. MAKING DRIVER TO SHUT EYES OR GET HIM DISTRACTED FROM DRIVING. *TR
WINDSHIELD WIPERS QUIT WORKING WITHOUT WARNING. THE FUSE DID NOT BLOW AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR TEST GOOD. THE INTERMITTENT WIPERS WERE WORKING WITHOUT ANY INTERRUPTION OR LAG UP UNTIL THE TIME THEY JUST STOPPED DURING A HARD RAIN.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHEN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE ACTIVATED, THEY FAILED TO OPERATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT RAIN HAD ENTERED THROUGH THE REAR CAB WINDOW, RESULTING IN WATER DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE'S INTERIOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST ALTHOUGH THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM IN VARIOUS VEHICLES. A DEALER WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND STATED THAT VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY BUT ADVISED THE CONTACT TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.
WATER INSIDE CAB FROM HIGHMOUNT TAILIGHT LEAKING CAUSES FOGGING UP OF WINDOWS WHEN HIGHWAY SPEED IS REACHED. DEALER REPLACED LIGHT BUT HIGH HUMIDITY/WATER AFFECTED ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, AND NOW THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR 3 DAYS FOR DEALER TO CONTACT ME WITH AN APPOINTMENT DATE. WIFE FEELS UNSAFE DRIVING WITH FAULTY AIR BAG SYSTEM. THE LEAK IS APPARENTLY A COMMON DEFECT CAUSED BY RAIN!!! AND MAY AFFECT ELECTRONICS AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS. COMPLAINTS GO BACK AT LEAST TO 2007WHEN RESEARCHED ON LINE ---- NO RECALL--- NO SAFE VEHICLE EITHER.
