“As I was about to pull into my driveway my accelerator did not respond to braking I was going very slow about to make a left turn , less than 10mph Just As I started the left turn the wheel became unresponsive and the accelerator did not deccelerate At the same time my control panel seemed to glitch/flash I put both feet on the brake and stood on it as the truck continued forward until it struck the mailbox The truck stopped at that point but I could still hear the rear wheels turning on the road until I put it into park”

“I am filing this complaint regarding my 2024 Ram 1500 and unresolved defects that I reported while the vehicle was still covered by the bumper-to-bumper warranty. My primary concern is the steering and handling. I reported multiple times that the steering wheel is crooked, the truck pulls to the left, and the vehicle does not drive or track correctly. These complaints began before the bumper-to-bumper warranty expired. I was told that the vehicle needed an alignment and four new tires. I followed those recommendations and paid for both, but the problem never went away. …”
