Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have notifications of these various recalls and have tried to get these corrected or at least checked out at the dealership where I purchased my truck. First I was told that appointments were now required. Then I was advised that 1st come/1st served was now required and full schedules are usual. Now I received another notification. I care for my Ram, but my time is also important.”
NHTSA complaint #11170213, filed 2019-01, 1,200 miles“I purchased my Ram on tuesday (01/20/15). The vehicle was a left over 2014 model that had been on the dealer's lot since approximately may 2014. On thursday evening (01/22/15), after a day's rain, I opened the right-rear door and noticed that a significant amount of water had leaked through the rear window. A folded up towel, that was underneath the rear seat, was completely soaked through. The seats were wet along with the surrounding carpeted area.”
NHTSA complaint #10678426, filed 2015-01, 240 miles“I pulled up in my driveway. I shifted my gear into park. I took my foot off of the break open the door & step out of the truck at that time the truck started to roll away. The driver side door hit me in the back, the driver side tire rolled over my left ankle 1st I then fell to the ground while I was laying on the ground the same tire rolled over my right ankle. The truck then jumped the curb & ran into a wall with my grandmother inside of the truck.”
NHTSA complaint #10617268, filed 2014-07, 1,000 miles“Several months ago I noticed that under the rear passenger side seat was wet. Initially I believed that something had spilled. Approximately one year after I purchased my new Ram 1500 I noticed that it began to smell like mildew after it rained. Yesterday I noticed that several documents on rear passenger side seat were soaked after it had rained. I then noticed several liquid droplets on my seat and the the corner of the roof above the seat was wet. I researched this issue and noticed that several people have had this issue. …”
NHTSA complaint #10981167, filed 2017-04, 30,000 miles“February of 2019 I was driving my 2014 Ram 1500 3.6liter 4x4 to work. When coming down an on ramp my vehicle would not turn back to the right. I had to muscle the steering to try and turn right before causing an accident. The steering suddenly turned right sharply sending my vehicle hard right into the ditch. There was no warning lights or maintance warning lights on the dash. I was accelerating when all of this happened and let off once the truck refused to respond. The fact that later models are being addressed and yet 2014 owners are reporting the issue as well is pure neglect.”
