Water leaks through the rear window seals. Spoke to many Dodge Ram owners and they have had this issue. Dodge have been repairing the seals for free if your vehicle is under warranty but charging $174 if your warranty have expired. When I brought my vehicle in to get the leak fixed the service personnel told me that this is an on going issue with these trucks and there was four more trucks in that day for this issue. [xxx] was the service person at landmark Dodge in morrow Georgia. Dodge corporation is not willing to refund my money or help me. Landmark Dodge service#678-251-2270.

Small rocks are getting lodged between bedside and wheel tub causing outward protrusions on the right bedside. According to dealer there are isolated cases of this happening however this issue is also occurring on my other 2011 Ram 1500 as well. Being as these vehicles travel gravel roads daily it would seem there would be a greater chance of this occurring on my vehicles then most sold that never leave pavement. There is obviously a defect in the design of this vehicle as it is happening to both of my trucks and should be looked into. I could understand this being an isolated thing if it wasn't occurring on both vehicles.

When driving vehicle at any speed from 25 miles and above with rear quad cab door windows down - any height - vehicles shakes violently, noise in cab makes it impossible to talk. Have done this with single window down, rear window both opened and closed and vehicle still shakes making vehicle hard to drive. Have not tried this at highway speeds as I imagine the vehicle would be uncontrollable.
