2021 RAM 3500 Wheels Problems

After a recall was "repaired" prior to our purchase, the right wheel came off on the interstate, after the lugs sheered off.

Went in for warranty repair for a recall of the lug nuts and wheel stud to find the dealership claimed they did the recall but committed fraud and actually didn’t. Went to pick up vehicle and go directly to Discount Tire for a tire rotation to find the lug nut and wheel stud completely broken off and the wheel not attached to the truck at all. “Only one pothole away” from coming off I was told. The dealership Lawley Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram in Sierra Vista, AZ didn’t want to work with me any longer and told me to “go [XXX] yourself” when I attempted to work with them for repair. This issue is exact repair the warranty recall was to avoid and should have been fixed. This is major issue which could have caused fatalities had I not gone directly to attempt a tire rotation. Vehicle was towed to...

We had the left driver side rear tire crack in two different places on the outside while driving from AL to OK with a load of cattle. No air tire pressure warning from truck when tire deflated. Tire happened to quickly deflate right as we stopped for gas due to the cracks in sidewall. This tire would have blown out while we were driving and we could have lost truck, trailer, and cattle. It was luck we stopped for gas when we did. The right front tire has bubbles and is not holding pressure. The dealership told us if they bring it up to pressure it will blow out. Truck was bought in April 2021. Tires are Firestone Transforce LT285/60R/20 AT. These tires are dangerous, and we'd like them replaced. It makes me sick to my stomach to think what could have happened.

The truck comes with a factory installed TPMS. The system to constantly reporting an error where one or more tires is not reading correctly. I spoke to a tire shop who said the RAM is notorious for this but there is no know fix. Yesterday while towing an rv down the highway, as usual the TPMS system was reporting errors in tire reading. This morning, I wake up to find a tire that is completely flat and not helping to support the load.
