Ram 1500

"Smartphone randomly disconnects and reconnects. When used with navigation, the destination has to be reset."

"Received safety recall notice. will be taken to dealer to correct on Monday 5/11/20"

"Apple CarPlay would randomly not recognize my phone, sometimes the buttons on the steering wheel wouldn't control the phone. Randomly, the screen would go blank and several times the backup camera would not show the lines on the display or go black. I believe all these problems are related to the head unit."

"If the car was put into reverse and then into forward, the backup/surround camera view would stay on the control screen the entire time you were driving. This problem did not occur every time. Only on occation. I believe that an over-the-air update was the fix."

"The display and control icons on the 12 screen screw up intermittently. This is a known problem and they are supposed to be working on a software fix."

"The display screen first started to freeze up on the camera mode about 8 months after purchase. It then started to completely freeze up about 2 months later where I had to completely turn the vehicle off and restart it sometimes multiple times to get the screen to operate. Finally one day it completely stopped working and as such rendered the vehicle completely undrivable and it had to be towed to the dealership to be repaired. Screen completely replaced under warranty with approximately 4 business days down time."

"Intermittently, the display screen will not come on at all. It seems to resolve itself if the car is turned off and allowed to sit for a minute or two then turned back on. The problem has happened about three times in the 12 months I've owned the truck."

"Screen went out without any prior issues. Still able to use touch surface to change channels but had a dark/black screen. Dealership said they updated software to correct the issue."

"The radio had to be replaced. It took 30 days to obtain the replacement unit. Since the climate controls and everything are integrated in the infotainment system, the vehicle had to stay at the dealer for 30 days."

"Complete and frequent failure of the Uconnect system. After many service visits and out-of-service days the radio head was replaced. It seems like FCA is not providing the dealerships the proper research, diagnostic, training and equipment to manage this system."

"It started with the GPS function failing. It would not update position at all and would not accept input or software updates. Noticed that the XM radio functions were reduced i.e. it would not show any data or information referenced to the station I was tuned to. I took it to the dealership who attempted to reboot the software which resulted in the truck not able to function at all. Too many features were disabled that are controlled by the head unit. They placed one on order but it took almost a month for it to arrive. To their credit, they provided me with a new truck to use at no cost for the duration of this process."

"Antenna was broken causing the XM Guardian/Uconnect to fail connecting to the servers"

"The head unit on this vehicle controls just about everything. As it started to fail I would see unusual items on the screen while driving - cameras on while in motion, loss of saved radio stations, etc. When it totally failed the vehicles battery drained. Once jumped I attempted to drive to the dealer but it was safe mode and would not allow me to drive out of 1st gear limiting speed. Total failure of this head unit pretty much prevents the vehicle from being used. I've actually had two of these units have problem but only replaced one. The current one still has occasional issues with regard to random cameras showing while driving - many times these seem to be related to overnight upgrades to software done by the factory."

"Difficult to use, can't just impute an address"

"This was Uconnect 4C Nav system with 12" display. Nav system got lost. Seemed to operate normally but location was completely off. Took several trips to dealer leaving car for several days each time. Dealer eventually replaced entire display/radio system. No problems since."

"On long trips the navigation would hang and the vehicle had to be shut off before it would reset. It was intermittent. The dealer flashed the navigation and it hasn't failed again."

"Twice on a long road trip, it took us the wrong way. It is poorly designed and does not give driver the option to select fastest route which makes it difficult to figure out what is going wrong with it. A friend suggested to pulling off the route into a safe area, shut the car off and then restart the car and reprogram the destination. Also, recommended start out the main road you know is correct and keep going until it gets the idea you have chosen a particular route. NO WAY IT COMPARES TO A GARMIN. You need a road map to get going the right way."

"Occasionally, the phone pairing drops after starting the vehicle. After stopping and restarting the engine, it usually begins anew."

"Bluetooth quit working on radio"

"When playing FM radio the volume "surges" up and down. Dealer is unable to fix. Occurs about 50% of the time when listening to radio. Shutting off the truck and restarting will occasionally fix the issue."

"It was an intermittent problem. Sometimes after starting the truck, no sound would come out of the radio for FM, satellite, or bluetooth at all. But switching to AM for a moment, and switching back to FM, usually resulted in the sound coming back."

"It has an intermittent hum"

"Radio would intermittently change channels by itself."

"Satellite radio doesn’t perform as it should.. it keeps going back to the promotional station each time the vehicle is stopped."

"It locks up intermittently with no sound at all. You have to completely shut it off and let it sit all day or night and 95% of the time it works again. RAM says they know about the problem but don’t have fix.. it’s been 3 months now and counting!"

"The audio will discontinue to operate once in a while?"

"Sirius worked for the first week of ownership. Then it just quit (would not receive any channels). Talked with Sirius 3 times in that week (all they said was that 2019 Ram 1500s had a recall issue because of something new in that model year). Dealership salesman and service personnel had not heard of any problems or recalls. After a week of trying and calling, it suddenly worked again. No explanation nor remuneration for lost air time."

"Tilt in reverse feature for rear view mirrors did not consistentantly function properly causing the mirrors to remain in the down position Radio speakers would not always return to music after finishing a phone call"

"Software that controlled compass and time zone setting had to be replaced"

"Occasionally don't get any sound out of the speakers, whether it's the radio playing, or phone. I can turn off the engine and restart and it will come back. This seems to be a known problem in other 2019 Ram 1500's."

"We noticed a vibration at 17,000 miles. Took it into the shop and they said the rotors had a rust spot and wore unevenly and needed to be replaced"

"I actually on to 2019 ram Longhorns one truck the rear brakes squeal when breaking it has been in the shop 12 times had every component replaced and they still cannot stop the squealing."

"Moaning noise from rear breaks when backing up on cold mornings. Goes away almost immediately. Apparently know to FCA, TSB recommends replacing pads and caliper bolts. I'm waiting for those parts to come in so the dealer can install."

"Loud squeaking and grinding noise from rear breaks when backing up after truck has been sitting for while, told known issue by dealer but no fix is available yet"

"The display will occasionally freeze up. Usually, the vehicle must be turned off for a period of time before the display will return to use."

"in damp weather the brakes would make a unusual noise while when going in reverse. there is an update that is available to address this issue with the rear brakes"

"Very noisy when in reverse."

"Squeaking under low-pressure braking circumstances."

"Rear brakes on both sides randomly squeak every time it's driven. Occasionally they will moan when backing, but not every time. This was an issue the day I drove off the lot brand new. Thought it would go away after some break-in. No luck after 2500 miles."

"Sun roof Rear drain tubes installed improperly at factory- water got in cab"

"I had water leaking into the floor area under the rear seat. Dealer had me in within two days and the problem fixed that same day, along with two other recall issues (for which my vehicle had not experienced the problems)."

"Body groans at lose speed on turns from A-pillar area. Similar issues seem to have been reported by other owners"

"When the truck is driving in Eco mode and decelerating at a certain RPM (about 1500) there is a pronounced vibration from the driver-side front that reverberates throughout the vehicle, enough that it rattles things in the door pockets in the back seats."

"Headliner rattle/creak due to apex clips."

"Multiple interior rattles - A pillar on driver's side; rear window and sliding rear window; several in dash/infotainment area; driver's door seal. NONE of which have been corrected."

"While driving on the highway in a strong cross wind the diver and passenger doors allowed excessive wind noise in the cabin at a totally unacceptable level. The dealer could never replicate it but the noise has diminished over time suspecting the door seals took time to better seat themselves"

"I think there may be a problem with the drivers side door seal as I get a wind noise on the highway. There is a 2" section of the seal that is folded around the outside of the pillar. This may be the cause but I need to take the vehicle in on warranty to have the dealer check it. There doesn't appear to be a water leak. I haven't taken the truck in yet as there haven't been any other significant issues (other than the backup autobrake) that warrant making an appointment. I'll wait until my next oil change. Overall, it's a good truck."

"At freeway speed, in a cross wind, there is a wind noise coming from the driver's side front, that it drowns out people talking inside the cabin. The driver's side grab handle also vibrates at a very high frequency. I have taken it back to the dealership, and they have applied a fix, but we are not sure yet if it has been fully resolved. We will need to wait and see."
