The sync 3/audio/nav system, once again quit functioning. i believe this is a safety issue. from my perspective if i or especially my wife is driving this vehicle in an area we are not familiar with, or late at night or come up on an accident or other unsafe situation and are unable to call 911 or for other assistance or unable to navigate through the area we are unfamiliar with, our lives as well as others would be at risk. this has occurred approximately ten times since purchasing this vehicle in november 2016. as of today 19 july 2017 this vehicle is at sallisaw ford, located in sallisaw, ok where it was purchased - for the third time, for this problem. the problem occurs sporadically, can occur while in use or after turning sync system on or off.
Had just backed vehicle out from underneath carport at my home, left in driveway, turned off ignition (it was stationary), and went inside my home. a few minutes later, the vehicle started exploding and caught fire. the vehicle burnt up completely, it is a total loss!!!
My truck has a noticable vibration at highway speeds of 60 mph and above. after 3-4 trips to different dealerships, the problem still exists. after a quick search online, i realized that thousands of complaints have been posted on blogs related to this same problem with no solution from chrysler/ram. i have had the tires balanced/rotated/road forced balance, etc. front drive shafts replaced (it's a 4x4 model) and still the same result ... vibration at highway speeds. i'm not sure how many complaints are being filed with the nhtsa, but after reading numerous blogs, i would expect that fca would address this issue with a recall.

Thursday morning april 14 i got into my truck to go to work. put my foot on the brake and start the engine. turned the transmission rotary knob on the dash to r and back out of the garage. the engine was still running and put my foot on the brake to go to p for park. as i was getting out of the truck and taking my foot of the brake pedal. the truck starting moving forward going back into the garage. it pinned me between the inside of the front and the garage door opening. i was able to reach for the knob again to put it back into reverse. it smashed the left front door in and tore the side of garage door opening. i had major bruising on my body. i am very concerned about driving this vehicle due to this issue. i want to be reassured that the vehicle is safe before i drive it again. i have big concerns regarding the rotary design for the transmission knob.
