“My sun visor detatched and fell on my head while driving causing me to swerve into the median. I took it in and was told it's a common issue for RAMs, The dealership called MOPAR to file a clain, MOPAR insists the sun visor is a trim and not a safety related vehicle component designed to keep the driver from being blinded by the sun.”

NHTSA complaint #11629801, filed 2024-12

“The vehicle appears to have common issue of heater core going out and leaking coolant, causing poisonous fume to be pushed through the ventilation system causing respiratory issues. During my research i noticed this is common and a costly issue which many drivers complain about and cars warrant does not repair this issue. Due to its safety and health concerns this matter should be looked into in Ram should be held accountable.”

“My defrost and heat will not operate correctly. A small area of the center windshield clears and that’s it. After warming up and driving ten miles, nothing more cleared. The controls would not change and there was no heat. I could barely see to drive. This is a danger to my self and other drivers as it is snowing and iced up.”

“Was driving on interstate coming home from Texas when we encountered a winter storm that was producing freezing rain. We were running the defroster on high to stop the ice buildup that was occurring on the windshield when the air suddenly stopped blowing through the defroster vents and diverted to the floor vents. Our safety and others was compromised by the ice being able to build up and significantly reducing our visibility effectively causing us to have to stop on the offramps to de-ice the windshield. …”
