NHTSA complaint #11338863, filed 2020-07, 6,000 miles“The A/C in this vehicle is inadequate at best. If the vehicle is sun soaked on a hot day, the A/C struggles to cool the vehicle cabin, even after 40+ minute drive. The fan stays on high and never gets the cabin to the set temperature, or even close. On these days, I routinely sweat through my shirt before the cabin gets anywhere close to cool, and this is unacceptable on an 80k vehicle. The A/C in this vehicle is much worse than in the 2016 Ram I previously had. This vehicle has the dual zone climate control and is generally set to 62 or 64*, which is never met. …”
NHTSA complaint #11341316, filed 2020-07, 12,900 miles“Our tailgate has opened on its own 4 times while we were driving since we have owned the vehicle. It also has shown a notification on the dash that the tailgate is open, but when checked it is closed. I have a video of this, but I don't know if I can upload it. We bought the vehicle in late 2019 and the first event was in march 2020, and it caused scratches on the plastic top part of the tailgate, as it hit the tongue jack of our camper. The first time, we thought maybe we hadn't closed it hard enough, so we have always made a point to make sure it was shut tight. …”
NHTSA complaint #11341295, filed 2020-07, 5,400 miles“While in motion on highways and city streets, the uconnect 4c nav system will freeze, reboot or malfunction preventing control of the stereo volume (cannot turn down or off), prevent management of towing settings, disables controls for seat and steering wheel heating (cannot turn off or change preferences), obstructs bluetooth call management, disrupts vehicle navigation systems and blocks climate control management. …”
NHTSA complaint #11315605, filed 2020-03, 9,500 miles“Both cruise control and adaptive cruise control fail to maintain a constant speed over flat/level roadways. When cruise control or adaptive cruise control are engaged the vehicle constantly decelerates and accelerates to maintain speed. Vehicle HVAC system is inadequate, blows cool, not cold, blows cooler from passenger side vent impacting operator comfort and increasing fatigue. Additionally, it blows cool air through the defrost panel when it is not needed causing the windshield to fog up.”
