Defect Description:
POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
The power train component, specifically the etorque alternator (MGU) has failed and verified by CDJR dealership service department. My vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The MGU component affects the emissions control of the vehicle and is a generator for a battery cell located in the rear of the cab. The MGU failure could cause damage to the hybrid battery system, electrical failure, and reduction of emissions control. The issue has been replicated by numerous dealerships that I have contacted as the replacement part is on a national back order (dealer representative stated over 5,000). This seems like a substantial problem known by the manufacturer and yet there isn’t a repair/replacement option for numerous consumers. There were no warning lamps alerted during the failure. The failure consists of a “whining” noise located in the engine compartment at the alternator/MGU and significant reduced fuel economy.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Driving to work my windshield filled up with steam to where I couldn’t see and needed to swerve and do an emergency stop. a smell of antifreeze filled the cab with a light haze, 60k miles so I began to do my research. There are countless forum postings about bad heater cores needing replacement. I am handy so I call my local dodge ram dealer and they tell me that there are over 3,400 heater cores on back order and they have no release date and that their shop is waiting on 7 of them. If someone experiences the issue I had today but in different circumstances it could turn catastrophically deadly
Corrective Action:
Driving to work my windshield filled up with steam to where I couldn’t see and needed to swerve and do an emergency stop. a smell of antifreeze filled the cab with a light haze, 60k miles so I began to do my research. There are countless forum postings about bad heater cores needing replacement. I am handy so I call my local dodge ram dealer and they tell me that there are over 3,400 heater cores on back order and they have no release date and that their shop is waiting on 7 of them. If someone experiences the issue I had today but in different circumstances it could turn catastrophically deadly

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
Had my truck in for service and they found a cracked right front CV axle and carrier joint. I was told that this is a safety issue and could lead to uncontrolled steering, but then was told by two different dealers that the part is on national backorder with no time frame for availability. I was also told that this is a common issue and other RAM1500 models have had warranty repair or recalls, but none seems to be available for mine.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
The truck has stuttered since I bought it when downshifting when cold. Sometimes when it sputters during a downshift it will display the message “ship to p and select gear”. Meaning the vehicle has shifted from drive on its own. The only way to engage drive is to stop and select drive. This has happened on the freeway a couple of times and the dealer says they cannot isolate the issue.
