“On 01/14/2015 I went to fuel up at gas station the gas gauge was showing empty. I started to put fuel in my truck and it spilled out all over the truck and ground. I tried to put fuel in it again and the same thing happened. The truck took only $1.72 in fuel. I then took it to the dealer ship where I bought the truck. I explained what happened they ran test on it. Repair the check ball in tank was sticking. …”
NHTSA complaint #10744472, filed 2015-07, 5,025 miles“Upon opening the back door of the truck after a heavy rain, we noticed the seat and carpet were wet. The under seat storage compartment had an inch of water. We assumed the door hadn't been closed completely, until it happened again when nobody had opened the door. We assumed it was a leak around the window or door seals and made an appointment with the dealer. When we arrived we were told it was actually a leak from the rear brake cab light and it happens all the time on many models. We don't know why Ram won't fix it.”
NHTSA complaint #10678666, filed 2015-01, 5,000 miles“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #11072191, filed 2018-02, 20,000 miles“Door locks not operating properly with key fob, door panel control or keyless touch entry mechanisms. Started as intermittent issue but is now hard failure...problem manifests with following symptom: using any lock/unlock mode only the drivers door and tailgate lock/unlock, whereas the front passenger door and two rear doors do not lock or unlock with any available mechanism...additionally, the front passenger door and two rear doors do not lock with the speed actuated locking mechanism either. This is a significant safety issue and has been brought up in several owners forums.”
