TOOK DELIVERY OF NEW 2017 DODGE RAM 1500 AND TWO DAYS LATER TOWED MY BOAT (18') TO LAUNCH TO GO FISHING. STOPPED ON RAMP LEADING TO WATER WITH ENGINE RUNNING AND PUT IN PARK TO UNHOOK BOAT FROM TRAILER. WHEN I LET ME FOOT OFF BRAKE, THE VEHICLE STARTED SLOWLY CREEPING BACKWARDS TO THE WATER. I WAS STUNNED AND HIT BRAKE AGAIN AND THEN APPLIED EMERGENCY BRAKE. I HAVE DONE THIS AT LEAST A HUNDRED TIMES WITH OTHER VEHICLES AND NEVER HAS ONE NOT HELD IN PLACE ON THE RAMP AND I HAVE NEVER USED MY EMERGENCY BRAKE. UPON COMPLETION OF UNHOOKING BOAT, I THEN COULD NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO RELEASE EMERGENCY BRAKE AS IT IS NOT MARKED WELL. GOT OUT OF VEHICLE AND NOTICED A SYMBOL ON THE PLASTIC ABOVE THE FOOT PEDAL. LIFTED UP AND IT RELEASED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND AGAIN VEHICLE STARTED BACKING UP INTO...
DISSAPOINTED WITH THE PURCHASE OF 17 RAM 1500, TRUCK LOOKS GOOD AND HAS GREAT LOOKS . IT HAS A TAPPING/TICKING NOISE WHEN ITS AT IDLE AT A STANDSTILL, ITS CALLED THE DREADED HEMI TICK, I HAVE A 5.7 MOTOR WITH MDS, THERE IS MANY THREADS AND COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET. MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 500 MILES AND SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY KIND OF TAPPING/TICKING NOISES COMING FROM THE ENGINE, MOSTLY NOTICED FROM DRIVERS SIDE FROM THE WHEEL WELL . THE DEALER SAYS ITS NORMAL AND THAT THEY CANT HEAR IT WHEN I BRING IT IN, I SHOULD DRIVE AND WAIT FOR FIRST SERVICE TO HAVE CHECKED OUT .SECOND ISSUE IS THAT THE PRESSURE FLAPS IN THE REAR OF THE CAB ARE ALWAYS MAKING NOISE WHEN DRIVING, YOU CAN HEAR THEM FLAPPING WHEN YOU BRAKE OR WHEN YOU TAKE OFF . I WANT MY MONEY BACK .
