Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
When accelerating from a stop the truck loses power and fails to respond. The engine is working but the transmission fails to engage and the truck just coasts until all-of-a-sudden it jerks back into motion. The vehicle will also lunge forward when coming to a stop as if the transmission catches and decides to accelerate momentarily. This is a serious safety issue when pulling out into traffic and has almost caused me to be involved in two accidents.

Potential Consequences:
The passenger side visor constantly disengages from the ceiling and falls down blocking the view of the driver. The issue requires taking both hands and shoving the visor back into the ceiling. This happened so often that now the visor won't engage back into the ceiling and the wiring for the mirror light has also broken.

Potential Consequences:
Air is blowing out of Defrost on all settings. This is a safety hazard in the summer as when it is high humidity outside and the A/C is set to blow out of front facing vents only the air still blows out of Defrost and causes the window to fog up and obstructs the view out of the front window. Also during the winter when defrost only made is set the same amount of air is now blowing out at my feet. The main safety concern is during the summer for the obstructed view out of the front window. Had this looked at during routine service and dealership said this is a known issue and they have no way to fix it at this time from RAM.

Potential Consequences:
Tailgate Issue: I own a 2020 RAM 1500 Laramie and at mileage 22,700, while driving down the highway pulling a 30ft travel trailer, the tailgate of my truck opened up without any warning. The tailgate hit the tongue jack on my camper damaging the tailgate and the tongue jack. If it wasn't for the camper jack keeping the tailgate from fully opening, all the contents in my truck bed could have fallen out of my truck onto the highway without me being aware, possibly causing an accident. I called the dealership and they said they were not aware of any recalls for that type of issue and had me bring it in. At that time the dealer fixed a shim recall that I had already had an appointment for, they took pictures of the damage and had me contact Chrysler customer service. The vehicle and camper have not been repaired. I filed a claim with Chrysler and I have an appointment on 11/3/22, with the Chrysler representative to take pictures of my vehicle. On the NHTSB, I have noticed that this same issue has happened to similar vehicles.

Defect Description:
VISIBILITY/WIPER
Potential Consequences:
The visor on the driver’s side has had a component fail which causes the visor to fall down and block the driver’s vision. This is a significant safety hazard as it blocks the driver’s view and it takes two hands to push the visor back up so that it is not blocking the driver’s view. The dealer has inspected the vehicle and determined the part is not working properly and has agreed to a warranty repair. However, the part has not been available for four months. Internet reports suggests this is a widespread problem with the Dodge Ram. Having a malfunctioning component that causes the visor to block the driver’s view poses a significant risk that a driver could be in an accident because he or she cannot see the road ahead and cannot clear the field of view without taking both hands off the steering wheel. This is an ongoing risk for Dodge vehicles so long as Dodge does not produce adequate parts to repair the malfunctioning piece.

This become a safety issue because I can’t turn down or up volume for warnings or traffic data etc. I’ve gone to dealership multiple times and they’ve even replaced the radio without success. I’ve spends at least 60 hours over the course of 2 years taking to dozens of people at at least four different companies or groups. Depending on who you talk to you will get different information. This needs to be a forced recall because it is. It an isolated incident and is widespread.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Potential Consequences:
The visor swivel latch to the headliner malfunctioned (without warning) when attempting to move it to the side. This resulted in the visor immediately falling and dangling in front of my face with an inability to see the road. I almost crashed into another vehicle. Research on this issue shows it is a fairly common problem on this model vehicle. After removal of the visor, a fracture of the plastic swivel is clearly evident. I have the visor for inspection if you want to see it. Unfortunately, my vehicle is just over the warranty period at 40,800 miles.

Defect Description:
VISIBILITY/WIPER
Potential Consequences:
Driver side sun visor connection point failure. The visor does not retract properly into the stowed position during driving, causing temporary moments of limited visibility. Use of the visor prior to failure was normal. The same failure actually occurred on the passenger side approximately 1 year prior. However, that was more of an inconvenience than safety issue. A local dealer did fix, and the cost was covered by the warranty. No inspection has occurred for the current driver side failure as of yet. I am awaiting an opportunity to have the vehicle serviced.
