My dashboard is bubbling and delaminating after only 18000 miles on a garage kept truck. my research has shown me this is an ongoing problem for this model and it severely affects its value Also if it delaminates on the air bag side could this be a safety issue?

To whom it may concern, I am making a safety complaint on a component that failed while operating the vehicle. My vehicle is a 2019 Ram 1500 Bighorn DT. The component that failed and almost cost me to crash my truck while in reverse and parking is called The Park Sense and The Rear Parking Assist. I started to have this problem back in the Summer around August 2024. I have brought the vehicle in to my dealer ( CHRYSLER, JEEP, DODGE OF PARAMUS N. J.) several times already, the first time they replaced the Park Sense Sensor Module and reset the computer. No sooner then I got home from the dealership and was reversing in my driveway the error messages came on and the truck did not sense the garage door and continued to back up thankfully I was able to brake hard and stop 6 inches from the door. Not only did the Park Sense warning come on but also The Rear Brake Assist did not stop the vehicle like it has in the past. I brought the vehicle back to the same dealership and they worked on it for about 6 hours gave it back to me and said they rerouted the wiring harness for the park sense module and it was working fine. As I get into my truck to leave the error messages came on the dashboard so I walked inside and showed the service manager and the tech that just finished working on my truck. They said to bring it back, they had no regards for my safety or the safety of others letting me leave the dealership with the truck acting up cause from time to time the brakes would suddenly come on causing the vehicle to stop abruptly. Nevertheless I strongly believe that there is a safety issue with the truck's Park sense sensor and Rear Brake Assist too. I do not know what to do can someone please help me? Thank you.

I have a 2019 Ram Laramie and one of the power side view mirrors no longer works as it should because the plastic gear or the motor is broken. When you google the problem it seems to be a very common problem among RAM truck owners is typically occurs because the plastic (instead of metal) gears fail. This issue is a health and safety concern for the driver of these trucks with a broken mirror, other drivers on the road, and pedestrians. When the plastic gear breaks the mirrors so not stay in place as they should so when you go to look in the mirror the view/angle might be off (i.e. the mirror won't show the view that you set it to show because the mirror moves around due to the broken gear). There should be a recall on plastic gears to replace them with a metal gears.

Unknown, this past winter while coming across a slight bend in the road my Ram lost control causing the rear to slide outward. I was driving very slowly on a slightly froze asphalt road. I don't think my traction control turned on. I almost slid into a fire hydrant on the side of the road.

Truck takes itself out of gear and goes into Neutral stalling the engine while driving you have to place it in park and restart. Normally happened at slower speeds, turning in an intersection/ slowing to enter a parking lot, accelerating onto ramp. Took it in and couldn't find an issue.said could be a door sensor maybe?

My 2019 Ram 1500 Classic came with the optional 20" tires and rims. Had a flat and when the spare was taken down it was only a 18" not a 20". This spare should match the other wheels and tires to drive safely. Yes Rams can come with 17" or 18" but when you upgrade with the option should the spare be as well. This is a recall on other Rams but not mine, please look into this.

I closed my tailgate and it sounded like it latched, but I got a warning as soon as I pulled out on the road that my tailgate was open. I pulled over but it still looked closed and didn-??t fall when I pulled on it. I went to open the tailgate to try to shut it again but it wouldn-??t open. I unlocked the car a few times and it still wouldn-??t open. I had to push really hard and then pull the latch and it finally clicked and opened. Sometimes intermittently on the highway it will tell me my tailgate is not closed. This is a safety issue because if the tailgate opens while I-??m driving down the highway and my bed load slides out it could harm someone else behind me.
