Ram 1500

  • 60,000 miles
My right rear turn signal and my brake light stopped working. I took it to the dealer and it was found to have an issue with the tipm or a fancy fuse box. My complaint is that Chrysler is at fault for this defect which can cause an accident because lack of light signals. They need to identify an immediate and a robust fix to avoid accidents. I never had an issue like this in my other vehicles and the implementation of light signals has been around for over 50 years. Any investigation and follow up would be greatly appreciated.

Ram 1500 8-cyl

  • miles
Began when I purchased truck of integrated brake failure later turned into bad instrument cluster, visor short, new brake controller and lots of hours. When starting vehicle wipers come on, no interior lights, no turn signals (inside or outside) no heat, no radio no trailer brakes. Now vehicle has been at Dodge for 2 weeks. They replaced, instrument cluster, wiring harness, TPMS and problem remains. Very unsafe to drive as no indicators and wipers constantly on. Problem began around 1 month after purchase and plagues me today. I have extended warranty and I am charged $100 per visit. Customer care will not provide me with options I must dictate my choices. Terrible service.

Ram 1500 8-cyl

  • 51,510 miles
After passing a slow moving vehicle on the highway, my truck shut down.the engine cut off, dash lights and park light started to flicker erratically and the headlights went off. I managed to pull the vehicle to the side of the road. In order to stop the lights from flickering I disconnected the battery (they flickered with the switch in the off position). As the lights flickered I could hear relays clicking under the hood and dash. After waiting a while I reconnected the battery and all systems came back on and I was able to start the truck and drive it home. The dealership will not be able to check it out until wed the 18. All systems seem to be normal. I have to go to work. I' M driving it 60 miles round trip everyday.

Ram 1500 8-cyl

  • 9,000 miles
While driving at night it is extremely difficult to see and I have had many near miss incidents where brighter lights would have prevented such situations. When reported to Dodge they said this is a common known issue and that I should report it. The dimness of the lights is unacceptable and extremely dangerous which makes me uncomfortable when driving at night with my family or friends.
