"water leak through cab mounted back light"

"I have recently noticed water leaking into the cab on both sides in the top rear corners"

"Water leak from antenna on roof"

"Rear cab beltline brake light developed a slight leak. Was repaired by dealer and there have been no other issues"

"Water leak at rear cab stop light"

"Leaks around back glass. Sealant was not properly applied by factory"

"The high mount brake light leaked and allowed water to enter and get the rear seat wet"

"Leaked around the back window"

"Driver side wind noise--- persisting. Dealer changed out weather stripping, but it made no difference. Possibly an issue with door adjustment and or seal quality? A close friend has a 2016 model with the exact same issue"

"3rd stop light mount had a screw come loose and leaked while going through a carwash or in a hard rain. Got another screw and fixed the problem."

"drives seat squeaks when shifting weight while driving or going over bumps"

"howling noise from passenger door seal"

"Dealer wouldn't fix the wind noise issue"

"annoying wind noise near the top of driver's window. I've had service adjust the door, replace the door seal, but no change. The dealer said they all have the same wind noise."

"Molding strip was loose on the roof and the Dealership replaced the strip immediately when it was reported"

"The black trim on the driver side door pillar had a bubble in it indicating it wasn't installed properly"

"Loose wheel trim moldings came apart. The glue did not stick. Repaired under warranty"

"The paint job from the factory was very poor. It had bubbles in the paint stains and some chips"

"It has a painted bumper and it has excessive rock chips"

"paint on tailgate had 2 spots where paint was chipped off when I took delivery"

"The paint along the bumper started to peel away from the edges. This should have been covered by the manufacturer's warranty as it was less than 3 years since we'd purchased it but Dodge refused to pay for the repairs. This was very frustrating as the truck is well cared for and this was obviously a manufacturing defect."

"I had rust bubbles forming on the driver side front fender (from the inside out). The dealer has replaced the fender under warranty. There are no other signs of rust on the vehicle. I suspect it was a improperly installed foam sound dampener in the fender. the dampener is positioned correctly after repair."

"Small paint bubbles of rust on front hood"

"plastic up above the front bumper is rubbing the paint off the top edge of the metal bumper. going to st up a appointment to have this issue fixed under warranty next week"

"rear bumper rusted but dealer replaced it gratis"

"The diver side front fender has developed rust bubbles under the paint. I have requested a warranty assessment through my local FCA dealer, and have not yet received a response. I am concerned this will depreciate my vehicle resale value, and repair costs will be expensive due primarily to repainting expense. At this point I am anticipating it to be an expensive repair (>$500cdn)."

"The rust around the rear fender wells. Dodge will not fix the problem since the truck came from Canada."

"fender rusted around the antenna"

"Front and rear bumpers. Replaced 6 months ago due to rust. Nee replacement bumpers rusting again"

"Replaced with a recall, dealer had me drop off just to see if it needed the replacement, then bring back 2 weeks later for another 3 days. This truck spent over 50 days total in the shop"

"Problem with the DEF system. Vehicle shut down. Had to replace the DEF filter. The dealer had no idea what caused it to plug up. Seemed to have a lack of knowledge, ability, and experience to deal with the problem. They also told me to call Ram directly. That my contacting them would be more effective than if they did contacted them"

"The truck has had exhaust leaks on both exhaust manifolds. The leaks were caused by broken manifold studs. The problem was repaired by the dealer under warrantee"

"ehaust manifold bolts on both sides had broken and were causing exhaust leaks at the manifold gasket.it started about a year ago and was evident at cold start up. once truck warmed up most of the leak was not noticeable. I had it repaired 3/2020 at Ram Dealer under an extended warranty with deductible."

"A couple of the exhaust manifold bolts have sheared off on the passenger side. This causes a ticking noise on startup because the exhaust leaks by the broken bolts. The noise goes away after the truck is warm. This is a common issue with the 5.7 Hemi but I was out of warranty when it happened so Ram won't fix it for free."

"Missed weld at the exhaust Y"

"pipe near turbo cracked at 10000 miles"

"A crack in the particulate filter caused exhaust fumes to be drawn into cab when stopped in traffic it took 16 days to get part to repair the truck"

"exhaust manifold leak. Seams to be a very common complaint"

"The leak was caused a connection/coupling from the exhaust manifold to the exhaust system. Exhaust was leaking into the cabin at all speeds. The dealership had a hard time finding the leak, and they did not have the part(s) for the repair. The part(s) were ordered from FCA with a 5 day delivery time"

"Bolts holding passenger side manifold, one broken, all replaced."

"this was related to the exhaust leaks in prior comments"

"Exhaust manifold cracked and a bolt holding it on broke off."

"recurrent airbag light, was recall problem, but never really fixed"

"Stopped working. GPS said I was in Texas while actually in Kentucky"

"Screen would "jump" from radio to media, sometimes staying, sometimes returning to radio. Problem was resolved on 3d system, only to return a month ago (diagnosed as hub within console and replaced under warranty)"

"The radio kept switching modes on its own"

"Computer module that controls all functions; radio, GPS, backup camera, etc. had to be replaced within 3 months of purchase"

"warning light stays of but diagnosics indicate it is operational."

"Truck leans / sags, driver side lower, height sensor was replaced, did not fix problem, will be returning to dealer again"

"Happened in winter, March 2017. Fixed by replacing the fuse, it was a blown fuse"

"truck body leaned to the left by 1 1/4" (left side lower than right side when viewed from back or front. Very noticeable when parked on level surface, as my garage. Dealer replaced sensor, still leans, around 3/4". Going back to dealer before warranty runs out next month"

"Air compressor failed winter of 2017 and was not covered under warranty. I feel a major component like that should be covered longer than one year."

"Air suspension has worked very well over almost 4 years, but after lowering vehicle's air suspension in very cold weather this winter (-24C), vehicle would not raise back to normal ride height. Apparently compressor had failed. It was replaced but had to wait 10 days due to part backorder. Shorthy after new compressor was installed, it also failed but this tiem was replaced quickly. No issues since then. Dealer recommended that we should not raise/lower vehicle with air uspension during winter weather."

"Replaced air pump twice. Stopped raising and lowering vehicle and rides very rough in low position. Vehicle should lower automatically when vehicle turned off but requires manual actuation."

"Failure of the air suspension compressor and the rear air bags."

"The truck doesn't sit level in the front. Passenger side sags nearly an inch lower than the driver's side. The air suspension has set itself to off road 2 setting several times by itself when the truck is parked and not running. Dealer tried to adjust the truck body on the frame-only made matters worse. No fix for air suspension issue"

"Struts leaked, replaced"

"Both struts were leaking, lower control arms replaced."

"Leak in front right shock"

"Airbag system failed, was down for 2 weeks while looking for parts, Cold weather climate"

"a "clock spring" broke in the steering column after owing the vehicle for 2 months"

"Difficulty turning (lack of power)"

"Shimmy at 65 mph caused a slight shake in vehicle"

"Chronic rough downshifting, mainly from 2nd to 1st gear. Loud noise, vehicle lurches. Happened about 50% of time when coming to a stop. 5 trips to dealer. Finally got Chrysler tech support. Dealer replaced valve body in transmission. Reduced fr"

"This is the 8 speed auto trans and I experienced hard downshift when slowing. Second problem drove highway sped 2 miles stopped and transmission would not engage, shifted knob from park to drive numerous times and after 3rd try trans engaged. drove 1"

"At 22000 miles, there was a problem with the transmission that required 5 days in repair"

"hard up shift and hard downshift"

"Transmission upshifts to early during low speed maneuvers and lugs down the engine . Very annoying . Poor engine braking as well hard to maintain 40kph down a hill through a school zone without constantly tapping the brake pedal"

"When coming to a stop it has rough shifting to 1st gear"

"Valve Body Failed Twice"

"The truck has experienced rough downshifting since new. After several visits to the dealership, the transmission and torque converter were replaced at 25k miles. Rough downshifting 3-2 and 2-1 with a surge has returned with new the transmission. Dealer reset the computer and the problem is now intermittent. Appears to be a software issue with transmission, which they don't have a solution to fix."

"Vehicle equipped with new 8-speed transmission and is in shop for repairs now. The problem began with rough shifting, then would not shift from low. I've had vehicle since September 2014. Found it difficult to get in in to dealer for repairs in timel"

"Computer does not lock-in error code"

"Every 3-6 months pulling to a stop the transmission will shift to neutral with no notice, go to take off and you rev the motor because you have no idea the gears shifted out. Let motor rev down, switch to park than back to drive, good to go. Dealer has no idea how to fix"

"Leak from Transmission Heater"

"Pan leaked"

"Ram doesn't know what is causing the truck to switch out of Automatic and lock in 4th gear in manual on cold winter days -21 Celsius or below). Replaced solenoid to start"

"Transmission jumps out of gear"

"Valve Body Failed Twice"

"At appx. 70,000 miles all four brake pads required replacement and two rear rotors also required replacement. The brake pads were normal wear. The rotors should not have had to be replaced."

"Parking brake release. It is made of plastic. I live in a hilly area so I use the emergency brake frequently. The release lever broke and the emergency brake could not be used"

"If not use every day , gets sticks. Needs a service twice a year."

"Brakes needed replacement after only about 50000 km which seems to be too early as I don't carry heavy loads and only tow a trailer infrequently."

"The brakes and the emergency brakes all had to be replaced due to corrosion. There are a lot more stuff that went wrong with truck. Over $8000+ in repairs and I didn't have insurance and pushing Dodge to pay for some of those repairs it would broke me. I paid about $3000 of that $8000+ out of my pocket."

"55k miles and brake pads went out in front."

"third set of brake pads sense i bought it"

"Pads and wear shorter than expected. Got the pads, rotors, caliers changed and replaced by heavy duty items due to occasional towing. My ram is equiped for towing when I bought it but the brakes were not heavy duty"

"Complete rear brake replacement needed at 38000 km. Break service done annually. Never towed or overloaded. Rear brakes overheated and separated"

"Rear pads were completely worn down causing damage to the rotor. Both were replaced. the wear was uncharacteristic for a vehicle with as few miles as I had on the vehicle especially with mainly highway miles."

"See previous comments about the rear rotors. This was the cause of the vibration felt when braking."

"Brake line rusted out and lost all fluid while out on an errand. Fortunately I was stopped when I noticed complete brake failure"

"Driver side front squeaks periodically when applying medium pressure to the break pedal. Checked by dealer twice. Rotors are fine, replace the pads once. Squeaks a lot less but still occasionally"

"Oil pressure sender failed causing an engine light. The oil pressure Gauge read correctly but the oil sensor flagged an over pressure condition engine code. The dealer replaced the sensor relay and the condition has not happened again"

"Oil pressure sending unit malfunctioned boosting the oil pressure to 100% where it should be only 40%."

"Engine was misfiring. Dealership replaced one of the plug coils under warranty"

"At 400 miles after sitting for 29 days , it sounded like every lifter in it had no oil on start up.and it lasted over a minute It has done his too many times even after sitting just overnight. Chrysler thinks this is normal. It will do this if you start it cold and only let it run for a few minutes; the next start up it will make that noise. I have 6 other vehicles from 1956-1970, plus he mustang and NONE of them do this even after sitting for 6 months to a year!!"

"DEF injection line cracked and leaked"

"oil filter leaked, filter had been changed 2000 miles prior to leaking"

"Had an oil leak near the oil filter coupling. Took 2 weeks for dealer to fix."

"had broken oil filter housing major malfunction causing majory oil lead on our new driveway... ram would not take care of driveway damage after numerous contacts with customer service. repaired broken oil filter housing under warranty. no problem since then. did however find the oil filter housing was a popular broken item in the v-6 pentastar engine"

"When the tank is full the pump shuts off but not before the tank overflows. I took the truck into the dealership and they said that the charcoal canister was full of fuel. They replaced the canister but it didn't solve the problem. They charged $200. I just try to not fill it all the way."

"REPLACE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD"

"Covered under 100,000 powertrain warranty, there was a problem with the valve and lifters that caused the engine to start skipping noticeably at about 88,000 miles. Apparently it has been a documented problem with this engine - 360 cc V-6. Fortunately the warranty was still in place and covered the repair/remedy. No problems so far."

"One of my cylinder heads had to be replaced! I was told that this is an inherent problem with the Pentastar V-6! Not happy about this!!!"

"Engine was making a noticiblr clicking noise like a valve"

"Engine made loud ticking noise. Passenger side cam lobe damaged due to faulty lifter. Replaced rollers, lifters and right side exhaust cam. Labor $1077.66, Parts $679.17, Tax $171.30 Total $1928.13 ."

"Catastrophic engine failure due to internal engine bearings broken apart into pieces ! New engine put into vehicle."

"Valve spring failure on #2 cylinder pushing valve into piston which bent causing the engine to seize/lock up. Top of piston was gouged, rockers were pushed through valve cover"

"Check engine light was one, the code signaled a bad vapor pressure sensor. Got that switched, but it still wasn't running correctly. The dealership tried other avenues, then opened up a case with Fiat/Chrysler. They couldn't figure the problem out either, so they replaced my engine. It was covered under powertrain warranty"

"#2 cylinder valve spring failed seizing engine"

"3.0 diesel engine.. head gasket blew at 60000 miles. Chrysler wouldn't honor warranty because truck was originally sold in Canada. Head gasket leak causes coolant to spew out of overflow causing coolant loss."

"Max cool with recirculation does not automatically start all of the times that it should."

"Every once in awhile, I use to blower (both heat and cooling)will simply not push the air out of the vents. It usually takes it +/- 4 minutes to actually work. I have tried to have it fixed. But since it is an intermediate issue, it never acts up when I make the appointment at the garage."

"Truck began leaking fluid from the condensor. The parts were not available and it took about two months to repair. I could not use the AC during this time"

"Unable to adjust heat setting to lower temperature when blowing out hot air. Keeps blowing out hot air"

"low flow of heat coming out of vents"

"System goes cold on trips. Replaced control valve @ $550, no change"

"The a/c was not working. No cold air. The replaced some parts and the refrigerant. It works great again"

"Since I bought it new in 2014 they have had to recharge the system 2 times, once under factory warranty & another after the warranty expired. Even though it was the same issue I had to pay for it after the factory warranty expired. I am working with RAM to get reimbursement for the 2nd repair since it is the same issue that obvously was not fixed correctly the 1st time"

"2 times since I have owned the truck the AC was blowing air at 85 degrees. It was at the shop & they said there was no leaks so they recharged the Freon. Seems to be working good for the last 9 months"

"Sorry, I included the problem with the passenger seat in the previous complaint box. Will add it here as well. The front passenger seat could not move forward or backward. This was a day one problem. It took two trips to the dealer to fix this pro"

"The front passenger seat was locked in position and would not adjust"

"Wiring harness for rear camera hold down clip was broken"

"window loose in drivers door"

"right rear window motor assembly had to be replaced, was bad from day one. Intermittently would not close without manual help or was very slow to close. Was in dealer three times before they realized that lubricating would not fix problem"

"bad bearings on front axle, front differential also changed out but probably not the worn-out part"

"drive shaft attaching bolts not factory tightened resulting in shaft coming loose"

"Front driveshaft boot leaking. Solution was to replace entire front axle."

"Truck would not start. This is the second time I had to have it towed into dealership. Last time it needed a starter and fuse and another wire. This time it was just the fuse. Dealer could not find the cause of fuse failure. They did not charge me anything and did give me two fuses to take with me and showed me how to replace them.If it happens again they will contact Chrysler for advice.Dealership was very good but I do not have much confidence in my Ram anymore."

"Loose cables kept shutting truck off"

"The truck had less than 200 miles and the coil went out"

"Starter motor failure after 18,000 miles. Replaced under warranty"

"The thermostat failed and caused the engine to overheat while on a trip. The check engine message said the engine would not start after 200 miles so I had to drive home and take a rental car on my business trip adding an extra 9 hours to my trip."

"I feel this part was poorly designed"
