right front seat will not recline/stuck in forward position. Hey don't get me misunderstood ok...I love my 2012 Dodge Ram. Ask the Toyota dealer where I bought my new 2012 Toyota Tundra 9 months prior to purchasing my Dodge Ram. When I had my new Toyota Tundra I was enjoying it but I was still rubber necking the Dodge everytime I saw one on the road. The Toyota Tundras are very nice and strong as well when it comes to the engine because it had a lot of pep in it though the exterior looks of it could not touch the looks I was seeing in the Dodge Ram. But then as I read these complaints on this site, I was wondering if anyone else was feeling the same way I was about such a beautiful truck off the line with the power and looks that is just plane awesome. Then comes the BUT!!! As all of us new vehicle lovers feel when we purchase a new vehicle, we don't notice the flaws of the mechanics right away because we are in awh of proudness. though after it all wears off we begin to feel we are paying toooo much for not the truck, but the performance we are getting out of it. I noticed months after I purchased my truck that I felt a bit of sluggish take offs unless I put my foot down a little bit more then needed to take off from a red light. It almost feels exactly as if one of the spark plugs was not firing. I was very surprised because at first I thought that was a Hemi thing ....but when I took my truck in for a separate interior malfunctioning, I was given a loaner and that confirmed my fears. That truck was a lower model them mines and it took off a lot stronger then mine which almost made me not want to go back to get mine lol.... well not really....I like the color of my truck so had to go back to get that. Anyway, that is what made me check out this site because I just had to know if I was over reacting. Now no only did I find out I am not alone with these issues with such a wonderful set of wheels but it saddens me to hear that Dodge does not want to do anything to compensate the consumer for a flaw that is immanent. Then again I said that it was just too good to be true for a truck that looks so hot with the clad wheels, dual mufflers, and muscle bound body style still has a slight flaw. I just wont tell them Toyota folks because I have been flaunting my vehicle in there parking lot a lot lately of the Toyota dealer I bought my last vehicle from as in to say "LOOK WHAT I GOT". okkkkk! Im not worried because they don't know of the engine irregularity I am having.....SHHHHH!
