Both front ball joints wore out at 20,000 miles The 3rd break light leaks into the cab at 26,000 miles & won't be warrantied even though there's an active recall for our same truck, same part just different model
While driving my truck I noticed my mpg gauge was showing 0 mpg. Then I realized my "miles to go" gauge was reading "low" even though I had plenty of fuel in the tank and my fuel gauge was showing 3/4 full. Even though I use my truck as a commercial vehicle, and drive coast to coast, I was luckily only a couple hours from home, so I kept driving to try to make it home. I did make it home, but during that time, my "check engine light came on along with my "low fuel warning" light. I also realized during that time that my odometer had stopped working. It wasn't showing any numbers at all. When I got home, I checked online to see if anyone else had heard of this problem, or how to fix it. That's when I realized just how common this problem is.

On [XXX] while I was driving in Reno Nevada with the truck without warning smoke started to come out of the hood, fluid was coming out from under truck, fire department came made sure fire was extinguished, vehicle towed to Dolan Dodge Ram Fiat in Reno Nevada. It was determined that the fire was caused but the recall issues, case was opened with Ram and as of today 5/13/2024 Ram has not repaired the truck and the dealership has told me that the Manufacturer has yet to respond or communicate with them.

Per the dealer they tell me that they have the parts but they can't...
Interior grab handle came off, very important in loading older and handicapped people, may cause them to fall out of vehicle
I’ve replaced turbo twice, computer once, now I’ve been told by multiple dealerships that I need to replace the def system and or fuel pump I hadn’t even got a 100k on the truck yet. The last incident I was driving and it kept saying in so many miles it would only allow me to go 5 mph see dealership for service then the numbers kept changing from high to low I was able to make it over 200 miles to get the truck back to the dealership without any issues.
On 1 Jan 2022 after driving from Washougal WA to Vancouver WA, I noticed after stopping for food that my front driver-side tire was near completely flat. Upon checking the dash information screen and cycling to the tire pressure screen, it reflected that my front drivers side tire was at 15 PSI, while the other 5 tires (dually) were at the proper pressures. The problem is that the TPMS did not, nor continues to not display a low pressure warning AT ALL, despite the vehicle being aware of the low measured pressure. This vehicle is brand new, with less than 7000 miles on the odometer. I tow heavy loads, and without a doubt the tire was well below proper pressure for at least 20 miles of driving; the only way I discovered was by noticing the tire after stopping. The tire pressure screen confirmed what I saw, but zero warnings...
MY BRAND NEW 2021 RAM 3500 LIMITED LONGHORN, SUDDENLY STOPPED RUNNING AT AROUND 70 MILES. THIS HAPPENED ON I-84 BETWEEN CALDWELL, ID AND BAKER CITY, OR ON 19 JAN 2021 AROUND 9:00PM. ROADSIDE FAILED TWICE AT GETTING US TOWED TO SAFETY. THE 1ST TOWING COMPANY CALLED TO SAY HE DECLINED THE SERVICE AND WAS SURPRISED THAT THEY BOOKED HIM ANYWAY. THE 2ND ONE INFORMED US THEY HAD TO DECLINE THE SERVICE BECAUSE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WOULD NOT PAY A FAIR PRICE. BY THEN WE, THE TRUCK, AND OUR TRAILER WAITED ON THE INTERSTATE FOR 4 HOURS IN PITCH DARK AND VERY COLD WEATHER. WE WERE ABLE TO FIND AND PAY A TOWING COMPANY OURSELVES. THE DEALERSHIP INVESTIGATED THE NEXT DAY AND INFORMED US THE VEHICLE STOPPED BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF FUEL. THE FLOAT OR THE PART THAT DETECTS FUEL LEVEL WAS STUCK IN BETWEEN WIRES OF THE FUEL PUMP.
