1500

  • 20,000 miles
The breaking part of the collision avoidance system flashes a warning to break in and alarm goes off typically when I am crossing a bridge. While trying to merge on the interstate, the braking system applied the brakes unexpectedly and brought the vehicle to a complete stop on the interstate. There were no obstacles are cars anywhere around the front of the vehicle and there was nothing to avoid when the vehicle unexpectedly applied the brakes. A cyma almost rear ended me because there was nothing I could do. The problem has been reported to the dealer and the vehicle has spent 4 days in the shop with no solution are no apparent cause.

The truck has been self accelerating and causing me to slam on breaks to avoid accidents. It was first happening on the highway and it went 50-70mph by itself. Then it happened today on the city street and almost caused an accident. It was claimed to be a sensor problem, but it happened again today and I barely made it to the Dodge dealership. The car has multiple warning lights come on and then will self accelerate and only allow you to brake. Sometimes it floors it from a stop and other times it barely moves but self acceleration should not be happening and its a major concern. VIN is not available consumer stated vehicle considered for lemon law and dealer and consumer working on getting a new vehicle.

I purchased the truck on 10/4/2019. On 10/6/2019 was delivered to my house. After going over the features the sales representative left. I tried backing the truck out of the drive way the truck would not back up because of the brake sensor system. The buttons to control the functions on the steering wheel did not work as well. I took the car to the dealership that same day. It's been siting there unrepaiired. The deal ship says they are unsure of the problem and have opened a ' star case' with Dodge manufacture. I have called everyday asking for updates they say they don't have any news or updates.

/purchased new 2019 Ram 1500 limited. Took delivery 08/30/2018 and dint get off the lot due to vehicle accelerating on its own and then multiple safety lights came on. Service then attempted to repair by replacing throttle pedal assembly due to throttle voltage code. Picked up truck 09/06/2018 and while driving 09/07/2018 just over 24 hrs later truck then started accelerating on its own in rush hour traffic nearly causing severe accident. Multiple dash lights on with warnings and check engine light. Pulled to side of road placed in park then back in drive still wanted to accelerate on own. Turned vehicle off then restarted check light still on but no longer wanting to accelerate on own. Returned vehicle to dealer unable to do anything about issue. Less than 200 miles on new truck..... fca's arbitrator has denied consumers lemon law claim.
