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.

I have a 2019 Dodge Ram Rebel I have owned since new. Two months after I got it it had the tick. I have noticed every dodge ram on the road has this tick I mean every ram. I have always bought dodge since I have purchased vehicles. Is the anything that you can do for me on this issue there is fumes coming in the cab of the truck and it-??s unsafe since there is a problem with all vehicles in the brand. I-??m hoping so because this is starting to turn a lot of heads and people do get an upset stomach because of the noises and this is not what a 80,000 dollar vehicle should have happen.

The 8.4in screen made by Stellantis delaminating is a common issue for them and they refuse to put a recall out for it. Some screens including mine are delaminating to where it-??s difficult to see the backup camera in the day time, making it a safety issue. It also makes the screen harder to read, causing more attention to be focused on the screen rather than the road.
