2019 RAM 1500 Unknown Or Other Problems

I am writing to report a critical safety defect in my vehicle, a 2019 Ram 1500 Big Horn , involving a catastrophic failure of the heater core (heater coil). This failure creates an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety as defined under 49 U.S.C. § 301. Safety Risk 1: Acute Toxicity and Driver Impairment The failed component is releasing vaporized ethylene glycol directly into the passenger cabin through the HVAC vents. Per CDC and ATSDR documentation, these fumes are known to cause respiratory distress and neurological impairment, including dizziness and confusion. While operating the vehicle, these fumes caused [describe your symptoms, e.g., dizziness or coughing], creating an immediate risk of a crash. Safety Risk 2: Severe Visual Obstruction The vapor creates a persistent, oily film on the interior of the windshield that cannot be cleared by the defrost system. This "flash-fogging" has severely restricted my field of vision during operation,...

The dash cover has separated from the main dash component. RAM cannot confirm this will not impede the proper deployment of safety airbags in case of a head on collision. This is more than a visual issue, it's a safety issue. Looking online at RAM forums, this has been a common issue with the dash for many RAM owners.

Rear passaenger door handle broke preventing the door from staying closed. A passenger had to sit in the back seat(with seatbelt on) to hold door close inorder to get truck home. When home, I used Cargo Straps and strapped the inside door handles from drivers side to passenger side to keep the door closed. Made dealer aware of issue and they are not able to get me in to fix until Dec 31 (2 weeks from now) only cause I had another previously scheduled appointment on that date for another issue. This same exact problem happend back in Dec 2023 which was fixed by the dealer. It only happens WHEN ITS COLD AND FREEZING out.

Dashboard has bubbled. I contacted the dealership because I have an extended warranty with CNA and the claim was denied due to weather/ sun damage. My truck is a 2019 model and should not have this issue. The Service Rep. at the dealership told me he has noticed several dodge vehicles with the same issue. He said the glue that was used was an inferior adhesive. He said they recently repaired a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the same problem.

2019 Ram Laramie 1500 instrument or cluster panel goes blank or speedometer goes blurry and unreadable.

I have a rear window leak that is that is from a manufacturing defect, as described in this TSB: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10247466-9999.pdf I originally took the vehicle into the dealer in advance of my factory extended warranty expiring and they said they would call me back to schedule a fix/replacement. They never did. Now, my extended warranty has expired and when I went back in to schedule, they are saying that the repair will not be covered, despite the TSB and warranty extension being in place because the "XL1" code does not show up in their system. The dealer instructed me to call Stellantis Customer Care, where I was connected with an overseas call center that said they were unable to do anything and that I should return the vehicle to the dealer, who already told me they will not cover the repair. It has been several months of back and forth...

Rear window of ram truck leaks and ram will not authorize proper window replacements. Caulk is not the answer as they’ve suggested

The power folding mirrors have plastic gears in them that strip out. Once the gears are stripped out the mirrors are loose and can fold in while traveling due to the wind.

Unknown; Stop/Start sends error and malfunctions.

I have a leaking rear window which is well known in RAM trucks. I had it into the dealership and they said they sprayed a seal around it, I still have a heavy leak of water on both sides, damaging my interior seats and more . I am looking for some help on getting this fixed as I have be stone walled so far.

The infotainment touch screen options are becoming unusable. The screen is bubbling and no longer works when I touch certain options on the screen.

After starting the 2019 Ram 1500 Bighorn in the morning, or after starting the truck and putting it in Drive, the vehicle sometimes shifts itself from Drive into Neutral as we come to a stop. When this happens, the gear indicator on the dashboard begins blinking and displays the message: “Shift to P then desired gear.” On one occasion, as my wife was merging onto the freeway in front of an 18-wheeler, the vehicle suddenly went into Neutral as she slowed down to merge. When she pressed the gas pedal, the truck did not move, putting her in immediate danger and forcing her to coast while traffic approached from behind. This issue has made the vehicle unsafe to drive because it can unexpectedly drop into Neutral at critical moments for example, while crossing lanes, merging, or pulling into intersections. There are no warning lights or alerts before this occurs. Sometimes,...

Hello. There is a recall on this vehicle (VB1) for vehicles manufactured up to 10/2019 My vehicle was manufactured 12/2019 with the same defective EGR COOLER that caused the recall on this vehicle. The manufacturer is saying they will not take car of the issue under warranty as my VIN number is not included in the recall. They are saying I need to contact you folks to include my VIN number into the recall. Are they correct? Are you able to assist in that? Really appreciate any help or guidance on this. Thanks [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

A cracked backlite frame resulting in an interior water leak (crack is visible from the outside). Water leaks from the top of the backlite. There is a recall under Warranty Bulletins: U.S. D-23-17 (TSB: 23-098-23) for the same make, year, and model as this vehicle, but it is not listed as a specific recall for this VIN. In addition to the risk of mold in the vehicle, electronics located below the leak, such as the RF Module beneath the rear seat, could also be damaged. This could lead to the inability to remotely start the vehicle, or even start it at all, due to the module being used to recognize the key fob before the vehicle starts. This could strand an individual and represent a safety concern in this aspect. The problem is well known on other vehicles; see the previous reference for Warranty Bulletins: U.S. D-23-17 (TSB: 23-098-23). However,...

A known problem with the rear power and manual sliding window backlite frame developing cracks on 2019-2021 Ram 1500 built prior to September 30, 2020. The extended warranty has only been offered to the sales codes of GFE and GFD. My vehicle was built with a different sales code in Nov 2018 for the rear power sliding window but has developed the same issue. I have attached a photo showing the crack.

Bilateral manifold failure, high incident in 2019 vehicles. Stellantis should review for recall.

The issue is the MGU went out on truck. Dealer has no idea when a replacement will be available. Was told over 4100 are backordered. This appears to be an ongoing problem with these trucks for several months now. They blame supply chain issues. I feel it's on the manufacturer to readily have replacement parts. Clearly they didn't do their due diligence on this part. Something should be done to this company for the way they are treating customers. It's my only vehicle to get to and from work. Please put pressure on this company to get the necessary part.

In November 2024, my 2019 RAM Rebel displayed “SERVICE SHIFTER,” “PARKING ASSIST,” and “CHECK ENGINE” lights. Dealer performed software updates, but one week later the lights returned. Dealer then replaced the parking assist module, but two weeks later the same issue happened again. I have brought the truck in multiple times since. Often the lights turn off before arrival, and dealer states no fault can be detected. I was told to bring it in immediately when the lights are on, which I did, but still no fault found. Problem continues, and now the truck has begun putting itself into park while driving or when stopped. This is an ongoing and serious safety hazard. I also added photos of others affected by the same issue.

The engine light came on, and I noticed some noise under the hood at the same time. The actual code for the OBD two diagnostics was poa43. Drive motor a position sensor circuit issue. It appears that the Rams have a E torque system that is failing over and over again its federal warranty is eight years and 80,000 miles. I am just above the mileage unfortunately it’ll have to pay thousands probably. This really shouldn’t fail on a vehicle like this and hundreds of people have it and the part is backordered so you have downtime of your vehicle for weeks if not months.

cam shaft failure on 2019 ram bighorn with 127,000 miles. this is a known issue with multiple class action lawsuits and nothing is being recalled

High pressure fuel pump failed causing a fuel system failure. The truck would not start and was towed to dealership. The dealership will not repair the recall since they will only use Mopar parts and none are available in the US.Other brand parts are available but they refuse to use them.

On 6-4-25 I was idling around a parking lot and my Ram truck SUDDENLY ACCELERATED by itself and took off....I slammed on the brakes and swerved to the side of the vehicle in front of me in case the truck didnt stop. The brakes squealed to a stop. Just in front of me was 4 lanes of traffic I would have driven across if the truck hadn't stopped...with 2 GRANDKIDS with me! It was not driver error and my floor mat was not in the way and I had not been using cruise control that day . But I did just have the truck in the shop a few days earlier for a recall on a software update

Detachment of the magnetic strip from the reluctor wheel/tone wheel, CKP sensor, or both. Information obtained with the scanner

Rear window is leaking, above the sliding glass portion and allowing water inside the cab and onto the seats that can cause mold.

Rear window frame cracked in two places and checked with dealer and no recall for my VIN. Common issue with other trucks that did have a recall. Not sure why my vehicle does not have a recall.

The WiFi works on my truck but I have never set up an account or purchased it. I bought Ram 1500 new in 2018 (2019 truck though) and have owned it the entire time. I have called At&t multiple times and even went into one of their stores, they have run my vin, the IMEI # and the ICCID number and can find nothing on their end and say there is not an account. Yet, it is connecting to the At&t network. I have run speed tests that prove this and connected with both my phone and laptop. I took it into the dealership and they could not help either, just stated that is is weird. At&t has forwarded me to multiple people including stellantis, siruis gaurdian, and ram connect all of whom could not help. There are some other things going on with other devices that make me believe...

The rear widow is leaking water into the cab a wetting the seats.

I purchased a 2019 Ram 1500 in November and have since been unable to pass state inspection due to several issues with the vehicle. I have contacted the dealership three times to request repairs, but they have repeatedly told me there is nothing they can do. I reached out to the Massachusetts Lemon Law, and they advised me to contact a lawyer immediately. The problems preventing my vehicle from passing inspection include excessive play in the bushing of the right front upper control arm, excessive play in the ball joint of the right front lower control arm, issues with both front struts, and excessive wear on the stub shafts of the front differential assembly, necessitating a front axle replacement since a kit is unavailable. Additionally, both front axle shafts need attention, and I require four-wheel spacers to prevent tire rubbing, as well as four fender flares. Within the first 30...

Tailgate falling down on its own can barely open it when it's in the closed position. looked it up on recall with a VIN number and it is listed as a zb8 recall. Bought the truck late in 2019 and I've had many issues opening the tailgate since I bought it. Recently tailgate randomly open doing 50 mph in garbage whenever

Water leak from inside back window

I took my vehicle in for an unrelated issue, a wheel speed sensor that was throwing codes. When I brought it in they advised me about a serious engine oil leak. This issue is too fold. . As far as I'm concerned this should have been a recall due to its seriousness. The housing for the oil filter is made of plastic mounted on the engine block. I live in Buffalo New York, where we were experiencing Sub-Zero to zero temperatures it is not unlike putting a hot glass in cold water it cracks, also if it is tightened too much it can also crack, which shortly before this incident I did have it in for an oil change and tire rotation, suggestion would be to perhaps make the part out of aluminum. This could have caused a serious issue with oil splashing back on the rear tires causing a...

When driving down the road the truck shifter goes to neutral and says put in park and then back in drive. It already happened to me 3 different times . If your driving down the road and it throws it in neutral and there cars around there subject to hit you or you hit someone. Especially if you can't pull over right away.

I have a 2019 Dodge Ram that slips out of gear and an error message comes up on dash "shift to park and then to desired gear". This is extremely dangerous as it happens in traffic. I have taken truck to dealer two times for four days each. They say that they cannot do anything unless they can recreate the same problem. It does not happen all the time but does happen in traffic. I videoed it when it happened but they say they need to see it. I asked if you see it what would you do and the answer is they do not know. I contacted dodge customer service and got a call but it was useless conversations. I see many other dodge truck owners online with same issue including videos too but dodge customer service seems to have no records of other drivers with same problem. Help....

I selected other at this issue caused more the 3 items to fail. While driving the truck pretty much every light on the dash would come on, I would lose power steering, speedometer (both digital and analog), all gauges would malfunction, turn signals would not work and pretty much anything electronic would not function properly. At one point, this happened while driving on the interstate using cruise control. The truck was doing fine and then all of the sudden it popped into neutral from cruise and started to malfunction. There were also times where the transmission would not shift gears past first gear so that pretty much made it impossible to drive anywhere. As you can imagine, this is not only a safety issue for myself and my passengers, but also to anyone else on the road. I've seen many other cases of the same issue I experienced online in...

The service Anti-lock brake system, and service electronic braking system, along with the lights come on. Also the electronic stability control (ESC) disables, and that light comes on as well. The cruise control does not work either. My truck year model is 2019, and a recall has been issued (reference number 75B/NHTSA/24V-653) for this same problem, but my vehicle was not included for whatever reason. I Attached some pics. I really hope and pray, that y'all will be able to add it to the recall Thank you

Truck will not shut off. Had to disconnect the battery. ESC - Electronic Stability Control Warning came on Scheduled for inspection at dealer. No warning signs just happened suddenly. Would not start, had to jump the truck, then would not shut off followed by ESC warning. My VIN does not come up under the 85B recall but my truck has the issue

Back Window just imploded while driving there was no impact and nothing touched it, it shattered causing little shards of glass falling inside the back seat and this would have been very bad if we would have had anyone in the back seat! I investigated after this happened and found out more 5th Gen Ram owners with this same back window had the same issues

The RAM trailer brake controller has two problems, causing unsafe operation when connected to a camper or trailer with electric brakes. 1) When coming to a stop and feathering off the brake to stop smoothly, the trailer brakes are released too early, this causes the vehicle to be pushed forward, often into an intersection, pedestrian, or a vehicle opinion front of you! Care must be taken to avoid this! Alternatively, the trailer brake controller lever can be manually pressed to avoid the trailer brakes from being released early. The camper was tested by the camper dealer as OK This same camper does not have this problem if tested with other tow vehicles such as GMC, etc. 2) The RAM trailer brake controller does not output a full 12VDC to the connected trailer, even with the gain set to max (10) and full brakes are commanded either by the brake pedal,...

My dashboard is bubbling and delaminating after only 18000 miles on a garage kept truck. my research has shown me this is an ongoing problem for this model and it severely affects its value Also if it delaminates on the air bag side could this be a safety issue?

To whom it may concern, I am making a safety complaint on a component that failed while operating the vehicle. My vehicle is a 2019 Ram 1500 Bighorn DT. The component that failed and almost cost me to crash my truck while in reverse and parking is called The Park Sense and The Rear Parking Assist . I started to have this problem back in the Summer around August 2024. I have brought the vehicle in to my dealer ( CHRYSLER, JEEP, DODGE OF PARAMUS N. J.) several times already, the first time they replaced the Park Sense Sensor Module and reset the computer. No sooner then I got home from the dealership and was reversing in my driveway the error messages came on and the truck did not sense the garage door and continued to back up thankfully I was able to brake hard and stop 6 inches from...

Unknown, this past winter while coming across a slight bend in the road my Ram lost control causing the rear to slide outward. I was driving very slowly on a slightly froze asphalt road. I don't think my traction control turned on. I almost slid into a fire hydrant on the side of the road.

I have a 2019 Ram Laramie and one of the power side view mirrors no longer works as it should because the plastic gear or the motor is broken. When you google the problem it seems to be a very common problem among RAM truck owners is typically occurs because the plastic (instead of metal) gears fail. This issue is a health and safety concern for the driver of these trucks with a broken mirror, other drivers on the road, and pedestrians. When the plastic gear breaks the mirrors so not stay in place as they should so when you go to look in the mirror the view/angle might be off (i.e. the mirror won't show the view that you set it to show because the mirror moves around due to the broken gear). There should be a recall on plastic gears to replace them with a metal gears.

Service Electronic Stability Control error thrown while driving down a main highway. Truck went into max RPM and slowed to 20MPH or less on a high traffic road and could have caused major accident. Truck is currently at the dealer awaiting diagnosis. No warning prior to failure and error message thrown and vehicle is currently on a recall for the same issue for same year make and model, however my VIN is not associated with the recall as of yet.

Air dam malfunction causing truck to shut off

the truck only has 42,529 miles on it and oil pan is rotted/rusty and starting to leak oil

The rear backup camera either shows a blue screen when the vehicle is put into reverse, or a black screen with the lines for backup guidance. Other times the camera works as intended.

Truck takes itself out of gear and goes into Neutral stalling the engine while driving you have to place it in park and restart. Normally happened at slower speeds, turning in an intersection/ slowing to enter a parking lot, accelerating onto ramp. Took it in and couldn't find an issue.said could be a door sensor maybe?

Rear window sliding window frame cracked in two places. Known issue that Ram is fixing for some owners with same model and year vehicle but will not apply extended warranty to my vehicle.

My 2019 Ram 1500 Classic came with the optional 20" tires and rims. Had a flat and when the spare was taken down it was only a 18" not a 20". This spare should match the other wheels and tires to drive safely. Yes Rams can come with 17" or 18" but when you upgrade with the option should the spare be as well. This is a recall on other Rams but not mine, please look into this.
