My ram 2500 laramie developed a heating issue. i have had my truck to the dealer on several occasions, with no fix. i have replaced the thermostat, heater core, and the blend motors. after all of that, the heater in my truck still doesn't work. my engine will heat up to 190 degrees and the heat just doesn't work. it doesn't matter if i'm driving on the highway, city streets, or anywhere else. the heat doesn't work. this problem started around april 2019.
Volume on radio doesn't work which mean the hands free volume doesn't work either. on a couple of occasions the interuption of the volume not working has caused me to be distracted while driving.
The electronic dash in front of the steering wheel which shows what gear such as drive or reverse or park and weather or not you are in 4 x 4 mode goes on and off by itself and now has stopped working all together. this then leaves you not knowing what gear you have place the vehicle which can cause you to cause an acident or injure or kill someone. there is a recall on the 2014 models but not the 2013 models with the same display. this now is a permanent problem and making this vehicle extremely unsafe to drive. this is a work vehicle and has many different drivers. this is an accident / bad accident waiting to happen.
My vehicle has a ratcheting sound that comes from somewhere in the left front corner of the truck when a pothole or dip is driven over at highway speeds. i am unable to tell if this is caused by the braking system, suspension or steering mechanism. i can clearly feel the ratcheting vibrations in on the steering wheel making me believe it is part of steering or suspension. this has been going on in this truck for at least 4 years now and it seems to be getting worse over time. i have taken this truck into multiple dealers to resolve this issue, while both in warranty and out of warranty. the dealers are able to reproduce the noise but unable to find the cause and correct it. this has been an ongoing issue and i am concerned about the safety aspect. most recently the dealer that i bought it from told me that i should just trade it in for a new one and that the people that test drive the the truck one wouldn't be able to find the issue and i would get the most money now. seemed very shady to me. i have a complete and up to date service history on this truck and have had lots of issues with it but this one has to be the most annoying. that and the drivers side door mirror that seems to be badly engineered and being unable to see out of it while driving because of the rough ride.
Rear axle tube seals fail prematurely, rendering brakes on affected side(s) ineffective due to lubrication saturation of brake disc and pads. there have been multiple (premature) failures of these seals on late model ram trucks, some as early as 12000 miles.
After being put in park, vehicle rolled away causing no property damage, just bodily injury
Vehicle was bought new. after having a new radio but in my truck i notice white spots on the screen and the radio was going on and off and the screen would go blank. the saftey back up camera wouldn't work. again i would try to turn the truck off and on to reset the radio but it didn't work. i took it back to napleton and again they replaced the radio again.
Vehicle was bought new ever scents then i have had to replace 4 radios and compass in my truck.. the screen would go blank but the radio would still be on but you couldn't turn it off . i 've been told it was the uconnect etc .the safety of the back up camera doesn't work. i tried to turn the truck of to reset but that has never worked they keep getting the radios from the same vendor. i recommended that they use a different supplier . chrysler hasn't but what do i know.
On september 1,2015 at 9:15 pm while driving back from nashville tn to pa. the engine light came on and i noticed the def gauge hadn't moved . so i pulled over to check things out and made it to a gas station and bought some def and tryed to fill it up but the def tank seamed to be fill. i turned the truck on and off a few times to see if that would move the gauge and reset the engine light but it didn't . the engine light stayed on most of the trip back. the next mourning on sept 2, 2015 i took the truck back to dealer and show them the pictures and explained what had happened . they said to bring it back on the following tuesday and they would look at it again. i dropped the truck back off at napleton at 9:00 am on tuesday september 8, 2015.i am waiting to hear back.
Vehicle was bought new the radio screen went blank but the radio was still on. driving down the road the radio screen would go on and off and the compass didn't work. i was told it might be the uconnect.. the saftey camera back up wouldn't work . i tried to turn the truck off and on to reset the radio but that didn't work. i took the truck in to napleton and they replaced the radio with a new one.
On may 26, 2015 and before this date and after this date the molding in the doors both front and back doors would fall down or come apart from the sides and when you get out of the truck or open the doors to get in the truck to go some where you would have to try to realign it to get it back on. you would drive down the road and hear wind coming threw and howling in the cracks.
On 11/05/2014 i was driving and turned on the heater to the truck and started to smell a strong odor of diesel fuel . i looked at the fuel gauge and saw i had fuel so i pulled over and stopped. i looked every where on the truck and on the ground i couldn't find any thing but you could smell it real bad. the next day on 11/06/2015 i called the chrysler 800 number 800-853-1403 my self and spoke to xxxx i explained what had happed and asked are you having any problems like that . he said "hold on and said he never heard of that and their where no recalls concerning that" note: while we were on the phone i was also the internet and found a recall concerning the diesel fuel heater he said he couldn't find any thing. i asked is it safe to drive he said yes. note it wasn't until today i got on your site and found recall concerning this matter at this time it has not been repaired. note because of the news of the recalls that just came out yesterday etc also my other submission to the nhtsa today odi # 10744472 .it is my humble opinion that dodge ram 2013 models should also be included in your action against chrysler.
Door locks sometimes lock when the locked button is pressed. does not matter if it's the lock button on the truck, the auto lock once you go above 10mph, or the lock button on the remote. since the doors do not lock, kids may be able to exit the vehicle at speed and get hurt!
