What Owners Say
"Sometimes when I start the truck the display will go blank. When that happens you cannot operate anything associated with it, no ventilation controls, no radio or CD, no steering wheel controls... I can usually correct it by stopping and restarting the truck."
Anonymous, CA (2018 Ram 2500 SLT 6.7-L 6 Cyl diesel)"I was originally able to pair my cell phone to the truck and it stayed paired following the 1st system update. Then a 2nd update came in and the phone was not paired after that and could not be paired."
Anonymous, CA (2018 Ram 2500 SLT 6.7-L 6 Cyl diesel)"The navigation system read inaccurately. It showed I was 40 miles from my actual location. I took it to a dealer where they tried to update the software. During that process the entire system locked up. The radio (which included the navigation system) had to be replaced. This whole process took over a month to get the problem identified and corrected. The cost was covered under the factory warranty."
Anonymous, IA (2018 Ram 2500 Laramie 6.7-L 6 Cyl diesel)"Started July 2020. Shows me at a location 400 miles away. Dealer said they would try to reprogram. Radio froze. Waiting on new radio."

Anonymous, WA (2018 Ram 2500 SLT 6.7-L 6 Cyl diesel)"Front door speakers, can barely hear them, has hardly any volume. Adjustments were made by me and the Dealer..

"GPS and display screen did not work when purchased. Upon return to the dealership, they said it would take three months to fix. After three months and multiple trips to the dealership, to include a lengthy unsuccessful mediation which was a sham, they ordered a new unit. The new unit has a GPS that works but other features lock up regularly and become unfunctional. Amazing they have problems with electronics in this day and age, on a $75,000 vehicle."
