Have had several issues with this truck and there seems to be a lot of similar issues: 1. Hemi tick - Had to have the exhaust manifolds replaced because they were cracked for no apparent reason... happened right after warranty was up 2. Alternator (etorque) started whining and had to get it replaced after 100k miles gently driven. Could have left me stranded. 3. Visor falling out (Very Dangerous) No t only in my truck, but when I had 2 rentals from dealership, same truck different years (2021 & 2023) they had the same issue. All of these seem to be a widespread issue!
The vehicle has worn out mechanical components and shakes at highways speeds and the wheels bearing/balljoints are so bad the vehicle swerves all over the road and is nearly impossible to keep under control. I visited the dealer service center and asked for it to be repaired. They answered my call after a week and said they have found nothing severely wrong with the truck and it is ready to be picked up. This is a danger to all drivers on the road also to my girlfriend and I. This is unprofessional and criminal.
ALIGNMENT IS OFF AND I ONLY HAVE 22,000 MILES ON VEHICLE AND IT'S WORN ONLY THE OUTSIDE EDGE OF TIRES ALIGNMENT IS OFF NEARLY 1.5-2 INCHES
I HAVE A 2019 RAM 1500 I BOUGHT LAST YEAR THAT NOW HAS 20,000 MILES. WITHIN 5,000 MILES, I NOTICED BRAKE NOISE ISSUES AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN COLORADO SPRINGS, CO (I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN LEESBURG, VA). THEY TOLD ME EVERYTHING FROM BAD BRAKE PADS TO ROTORS TO MOUNTS - AFTER I REFUSED TO ACCEPT THEIR CLAIM OF NOT BEING ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING. AFTER TAKING IT IN APPROXIMATELY 6 OR 7 TIMES, THEY FINALLY CHANGED MOUNTING ASSEMBLIES, AND THE NOISE WENT AWAY. HOWEVER, I STARTED GETTING A VIBRATION BETWEEN 45 AND 60 MILES AN HOUR. I TOOK IT IN AGAIN, AND THEY SAID MY TIRES NEEDED TO BE REBALANCED, ROTATED, AND THEY SUSPECTED THEY HAD UNUSUAL WEAR SOMEWHERE. OF COURSE, THE PERSON TELLING ME THIS PROCEEDED TO SHOW ME MY TIRES AND NOTICED THEY WERE ALMOST LIKE NEW. HE SAID THEY FIXED IT TO...
STARTED WITH TELLING ME MY TIRE WAS FLAT. I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY WHICH IS DANGEROUS AND THE TIRE WAS FULL OF AIR. THEN TOLD ME ELCECTROIC BRAKES NEEDED TO BE SERVICED. NOT TOO LONG AFTER THAT IT KEPT TELLING ME THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE IS NOT WORKING. I HAVE NEVER PUT THE TRUCK IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. ALSO THE ABS SERVICE LIGHT WAS FLASHING. TOOK IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP 4 DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT IT AND THEY TOOK IT INTO THEIR SHOP AND 'FIXED' IT IN A FEW MINUTES. VERY NEXT DAY EVERYTHING STARTED AGAIN. TOOK IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE KEPT IT OVER THE WEEKEND. WHEN I CALLED THEM AT LUNCH ON FRIDAY TELLING THEM I WAS BRINGING IT BACK THEY ASKED ME TO WAIT TIL NEXT WEEK TO BRING IT. THIS IS THEIR SECOND CHANCE TO GET IT RIGHT. IT HAS...
THERE IS A VISIBLE CHUNK OF RUBBER MISSING FROM MY TRUCK TIRE. MY WIFE AND I NOTICED THE ANOMALY ON THE TIRE IN THE MORNING RIGHT BEFORE LEAVING TO WORK. I COMMUTE WITH THIS TRUCK MONDAY THOUGH FRIDAY, ON A SMOOTH HIGHWAY. THESE TIRES HAVE NEVER SEEN HARSH CONDITIONS. THIS IS NOT NORMAL, AND DEFINITELY NOT EXPECTED FOR A VEHICLE WITH SO FEW MILES ON THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE HAS 18400 MILES AND WAS PURCHASED NEW. THESE TIRES ARE MEANT TO LAST MUCH LONGER (5 YEARS / 65,000 MILES). THIS IS A DANGEROUS DEFECT, THAT CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS ESPECIALLY SINCE ONE DOES NOT EXPECT THIS ISSUE TO ARISE. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN BROUGHT TO AN AUTHORIZED SHOP, WORKERS STATE THAT THIS IS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE AND WILL NOT BE COVERED. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. MANUFACTURING DEFECTS SUCH AS THESE SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
HAD TRUCK LESS THAN A WEEK, WHEN MY TIRE PRESSURES ALERTED THAT WERE LOW, ANYWHERE FROM 2-5 POUNDS. FILLED UP, AND A WEEK LATER, SAME THING. THIS ALSO HAPPENED ON MY 2016, BUT ROUGHLY ONCE A MONTH IF NOT LESS OFTEN.
AT 18:00 MILES STARTED DEVELOPING A SHIMMY HAD TIRES ROTATED READ BALANCED HAS NOT CREATED THE PROBLEM
