Ram 1500

"These are all the same problem. The display would freeze up and then sometimes to blank. Once that happened, you could not see the backup camera or change anything on the radio other than the volume. Dealer had to replace the whole radio, with a "remanufactured" unit. That one failed the same way within months, replaced under warranty from the first replacement."

"Display screen would either turn solid green or scramble the picture. Dealer was able to make repair."

"See previous, these are all the same issue."

"Display goes blank or fuzzy snow during reverse camera mode. Sometimes it went all green without backup"

"The radios and gps systems are a piece of junk. The radio has been a pain since I purchased the vehicle. It no longer receives Sirius radio and the GPS will take you on the craziest route and miss your destination by miles."

"Every time you get in the vehicle, it pairs to your phone and then starts playing music. There's no setting to stop it on the phone or on the infotainment system. It just does it. We spoke with someone from Chrysler's customer support team, and all they had to say was "Why wouldn't you want it to play music?" Absolutely mind blowing. There are an infinite number of reasons why someone at some time wouldn't want their vehicle to decide what music to play (because it's completely random, as far as I can tell, what it will start playing) and when to play it for them. As a living, breathing, thinking person, I think I'm perfectly qualified to decide all of that for myself and, be able to execute it without any trouble."

"The Uconnect interface for linking Internet radio apps (Pandora, Slacker, iHeart Radio) periodically looses it connection. Requires to re-log into Uconnect to re-establish connection so the apps work. Also when the Smartphone sleeps the music stops streaming until the phone is re-awaken."

"the navigation system could not retain memory and did not update the current location and sent me directions to my destination based off of another location"

"OCCASIONALLY THE SCREEN BLACKS OUT AND THE NAV SYSTEM IS TOTALLY INCORRECT"

"Neither of my phones would connect to the in-car radio. When i had the GPS replaced, that seemed to have fixed the problem. The dealer stated there was a problem with the hard drive retaining its memory. The entire radio was replaced"

"The vehicle looses pairing with my Samsung Galaxy. This has happened 4-6 times. I've asked both Verizon and Dodge to help resolve the problem. Although it seems to work for a while, it suddenly stops and the steps I personally take on the phone and in the vehicle to resolve don't always work."

"My vehicle's radio system is Sirius satellite ready so I purchased a subscription through Sirius in order to use their service. The problem I have is that from the day I began using the service, anytime I am listening to a satellite radio station, the radio cuts out all the time and I'll get a message that says acquiring signal. This occurs Everytime I drive my vehicle. I have yet to experience one drive without signal drop."

"They want to charge me for GPS or any other software update it might need. If you don't pay for the updates, your system doesn't work correctly."

"The phone and voice controls on the steering wheel stopped working. The phone one doesn't work at all and the voice control one is intermittent."

"Cruise control switches failed"

"cruise control malfunctioned but repaired after taking it in to dealership"

"Cruise control stopped working switch on steering wheel was replaced and problem resolved"

"fREQUENTLY WON'T DIAL BLUTOOTH NUMBERS, BUT THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT SO THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO REPAIR"

"The button to turn on the cruise control would not work intermittently."

"the cruise control on/off switch failed"

"center brake light out water problem"

"Driver side downward facing courtesy light on side mirror stopped working. Was fixed one stop dealership."

"The fog light module was defective when I took delivery of the vehicle. The parking sensors, both front and rear were also not working. Still under factory warranty, I took it to a RAM dealership for repair of the fog lights, the parking sensors and an engine oil leak. The service department could not diagnose nor fix the oil leak (discussed separately). They did fix the fog lights and, eventually the parking sensors. They also painted the sensors the wrong color which, according to them, required three more days in the paint shop. Finally, I had consider problems contacting my service advisor (they had caller ID) so I had to revert to going there for status updates. I began to suspect he was just lying to me and proved it. The service advisor told me to my face that the technician was working on my truck when I arrived and it should be done tomorrow. Not believing him on either point, I walked outside to the parking area for vehicles in for service and, of course, my truck was sitting in the lot in the same spot where it was three days earlier. Between these minor electrical problems which were corrected and the oil leak that was not corrected by this dealer, my truck was in there three weeks. Incompetence impounded by lying. I will not be back there."

"Right rear turn indicator bulb burns out frequently"

"poor grounding"

"headlight intermittent failure. Dealer replaced radio (!) per MFR which didn't solve problem. Headlight fully failed and they replaced"

"LED interior lights flicker with almost a strobe type pattern occasionally. I've had to replace multiple LEDs with conventional bulbs."

"Sun visor mirror light passenger did not work . Put a new one on warranty"

"Recall tailgate unlocks while driving"

"The USB port for charging when the vehicle makes intermittent contact. It’s been replaced under warranty and still doesn’t work."

"replaced compete entertainment system, problem is back again."

"Lights indicated problems falsely"

"I try to use parking brake so it doesn't freeze. After using the brake it, it would not release all the way which caused squealing. I took it in for service, they replaced the brake on my warranty I purchased. It still hung up and squealed, they ended up taking rust off a couple parts. So basically They used my warranty and it wasn't the real problem."

"Frozen emergency brake"

"Failing rotors wore out the pads prematurely."

"A little while after buying ram, the brakes Were pulsating. Which confused me due to my salesman told me they put new brakes on. The service dept then told me that brakes were put on but the rotors were bad and were not replaced."

"All 4 rotors were rusted and pitted after 33K miles. Very expensive. Cheap metal. Infuriating."

"Rotors warped, replaced under warranty"

"at least 4 times brakes were making a ticking sound, dealer did a 'brake service' several times, also had an issue with the parking brake seizing"

"In cold weather the air suspension controller went defective. Also after repair, when cold the main fuse blows."

"Air suspension uses a compressor that draws ambient air, moisture forms and in very cold weather it will not operate, causing a very hard ride. Once weather is warmer doesnt happen. Dealer says nothing they can do. What they need is a dryer on the comprssor outlet"

"Right front strut was leaking. Thought this was a little premature. Was covered under warranty."

"factory air ride suspension has been problematic, two rear air ride air bags have been replaced."

"when slightly loaded truck road in a jerky fashion. Change rear end stabilizer bar because of possible bad bushings."

"Found during state inspection, no problem noticed while driving. Covered by dealer under warranty, minimal cost to me."

"No serious problem. The front wheel bearings were replaced under warranty since the kilometers driven were just under the limit of 60000k"

"The door handles faded within six months and the plastic that cover that covered the trailer hitch bolt crumbled and fell apart"

"Tailgate would drop while driving. This began shortly after purchase (we purchased at the end 2017). It would happen twice a month. Dodge issued a recall and repaired it at no cost."

"Both RamBox covers developed fiberglass cracks around locks"

"Just scratches easy"

"Both driver and passenger window fell of track on at least three ocasions"

"On three occasions 2 times with the driver window it fell out of its track during cold weather. Repaired under warranty but I am concerned about it happening again. The clips disconnect at the bottom of the window when it freezes in the track and then falls down at random times when the vehicle is parked."

"Exhaust manifold leak, Ram fixed it under warrantee"

"Manifold leak upon starting when cold. Replaced the gasket and bolts."

"This is a common issue on these trucks, It was covered on warrantee, but Ram should fix the long term issue"

"Passenger side--Top left bolt broken in manifold resulting in a leak and repair."

"Happened to all 4 of my Rams. 2003,2019,2014 and 2016. You would think they could figure out and correct the issue."

"The bolts on the passenger side that mount the exhaust manifold to the engine loosened or broke."

"HARD DOWN SHIFT INTO 1ST GEAR"

"Slips trying to pick a gear after a rolling stop."

"down shifting inappropriately on acceleration causing very rough ride"

"Had to take pickup in 3 times to get repaired. First time, said normal operation of pickup. Second time, said cannot duplicate problem. Third time, Check engine light on, barely running, still had to wait 3 weeks for an appointment. Was told if the light is not flashing, drive it...Pickup was in shop 5 days when I took it in at appointment, it took 3 days before I could get a loaner. Problem was fixed."

"The big problem is 9 repeat trips to two dealers and they could no fix the problem. Sad when the maker of a product can't repair it. I had to pay for repair for broken wire that stoped the transmission from shifting the day after I got it home. Highway driving city streets"

"Radiator fan stopped working in Feb 2020 due to broken wire leading to overheating. Took two shop visits to diagnose. 3 weeks"

"Acute undiagnosed total shut down of engine/systems resulting in threat to life and property. It is impossible to predict when/what circumstances the engine shuts down. It has shut down several times in high speed San Diego traffic. It has shut down idling in the driveway...... (huge frustration) Fiat Chrysler has not been forth coming or made a good faith effort to repair or replace the vehicle. It is possible this problem exists in other vehicles. However Fiat Chrysler is making very aggressive attempts to squash any reports and deny any liability."

"Traction control sensor will illuminate and warning appears on screen to inspect traction control. The warning light will then go out on its own"

"miles the engine it spun a main rod bearing and blew up. I was without the truck for two months for fiat Chrysler to decide to replace and then make repairs"

"Mechanical failure in intercooler hose, most likely manufacturer defect, at 5000 miles, caused CEL and low power mode."

"The vehicle uses non-standard refrigerant and is not serviceable except by the dealership or specialty shops that have the very specialized tools. The refrigerant apparently will condense within the system after a certain amount of time and has to be flushed and recharged or else cooling performance continues to degrade over time and you also risk damage to the system. Our truck had a coolant leak that was apparently easy to find, but we still had to pay over $1200 in coolant, diagnosis, and repair whereas we would have spent half of that or so to get the exact same service done on a vehicle with standard coolant."

"It leaked oil when I bought it from CarMax. Front oil seal leak mis-diagnosed twice by the RAM dealer under warranty. First diagnosed as a "bad cylinder". The next diagnosis by the same dealer was a leaking valve cover gasket. That required removal of the fuel rail which leaked when they reinstalled it. The oil continued to leak after three weeks at the dealers. I refused to have them touch the truck again and took the truck to another dealer who correctly diagnosed and fixed the leak. I have since become disappointed with this dealer and am preparing to take the truck to a third RAM dealer for recall work. Needless to say, I am very disappointed with the RAM dealer technical competency and will not use them except for warranty or recall work."
