What owners report
All left rear wheel studs sheared off while traveling at 70mph 325 miles from home. This catastrophic failure was the direct result of recall Y26 not being preformed by Chrysler Corporation. This unsafe condition placed me and others on the highway in an extremely dangerous situation. When I was first notified of this recall I went to the dealer where I purchased the truck and was told the parts were on back order and they would notify me when the parts came in. That was in 2020. Since then I have been to three different dealers who told me the same thing. Parts never came in. Now my truck is disabled far from home and the dealer is telling me that he has only one out of four kits necessa
On [XXX], I was involved in a serious collision while operating a 2019 Ram 3500 Laramie Crew Cab dually in California. I was traveling westbound when another vehicle traveling northbound failed to stop at a posted stop sign and entered my path. I applied my brakes but was unable to avoid colliding with the passenger side of the other vehicle. Following the collision, both vehicles left the roadway and entered an orchard. My truck sustained extensive damage and was subsequently declared a total loss. Despite the severity of the collision, none of the airbags deployed. I am concerned that the supplemental restraint system may not have operated as designed, potentially increasing my risk of i
On my 2019 RAM 3500, I reported a problem with th eNHSTA back in 2023, and NO response yet. This is about the integrated brake controller, that provides NO electrical signal to stop the towed trailer at speeds what apear to be below 35MPH. This is a very dangerous failure on these trucks.
1. Engine failed while driving. 2.This could have caused an accident if I were at highway speeds. 3. The cause of failure was a spent bearing on piston #3 due to lack of oil. 4. Per my mechanic an engine or rebuild kit is needed. This was a reported complaint in March of this year with a complaint number of #11724554. Their was no warning or low oil lamp which was a recall for some 2019 Rams, however my VIN was not included in that recall.
HAD RECALL FOR HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP COMPLETED IN 12/2022 AND THE NEW PART HAS PREMATURELY FAILED CAUSING DEBRIS TO GO INTO THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE NEW PART WAS TO PREVENT THIS ISSUE FROM HAPPENING AND IT SEEMS THAT FAILURE AFTER ONLY 3 YEARS MEANS THAT A DEFECTIVE PART WAS INSTALLED OR SOME FORM OF IMPROPER INSTALLATION OCCURRED.
