The touch screen on the central control computer/entertainment/cell phone system has delaminates and randomly self selects buttons. On more than one occasion the distraction of cancelling phone calls at all hours, activation of back up cameras and signals that tell the vehicle to do wierd things negatively impact of drivers attention and function' there are laws about distract4D driving and this is a major distraction. I have tried to resolve the issue with the manufacturer and they are un responsive. Looking at the videos on how to re-lace the touch screen due to manufacturer requesting over $1500 to replace based on false claims of broken/cracked glass in the screen. When the real issue is the touch screen manufacturer failed to use an adhesive that can withstand the heat within the closed cabin of a stationary vehicle.

Truck loses power steering completely while driving making it 10X harder to maneuver the vehicle making tight turns very difficult. Lack of braking power. Truck has a very evident aeration noise every time steering wheel is turned at any time. Trucks power steering fluid has fallen below minimum three times in the vehicles life. Truck is at 27,000 miles. Issue began around 15,000 miles. Bubbles in power steering reservoir. Power steering pump smells like it's burning up. Power steering pump and hydro boost are failing and has airflow passing through a system that constantly needs to be lubricated by power steering fluid. Pump and hydroboost will fail prematurely before their life expectancies. I have brought my vehicle into three different dealerships, twice at rockwall Dodge, twice as dallas Dodge, once at huffines Dodge. Dealerships claim nothing is wrong with vehicle, the power steering pump on this particular model is more audible than others, also there is supposed to be some air created in power steering system. Dealership service advisor stated, 'for all I know, you could be syphoning the fluid out of the reservoir and claiming it's low' each dealership said nothing was wrong, but has failed to explain to me where my fluid is going, why I'm losing braking power, having complete loss of power steering, or why my truck is very audibly making an aeration noise. Vehicle has been out of service for 15 plus days. Dealerships only look to see physical leaks, see nothing, and say it's fine and send me out the door. I've been through the lemon law process. Fca won the case and ncds denied buyback. I will attach a picture of ncds's statement on why the denial was made.

I started my 2018 Ram 2500 in the early morning and a message popped up in my message center ( service 4X4 system). Usually it would not be a big deal because you should service your vehicle to keep up with maintenance, but I just bought the truck 10 months ago and it has 5000 miles on it. Have an appointment with dealer to find out the problem, 4X4 will not engage in the mean time.

I was pulling my 5th wheel trailer up a steep hill, and my engine fan sucked in my fan shroud cut it into large chunks, they then flew into my radiator and punctured it resulting in loss of all engine coolant. Apparently this has been happening for quite some time with 4th gen Ram trucks after searching on multiple internet forums. This in my opinion should be a recall. It left my 2 kids, wife, and two dogs stranded on the side of the road.

Pulled out into traffic and the gas pedal did not propel the truck and I was almost hit broadside. It's like the gas pedal took 3-4 seconds to send fuel to the engine and caused the truck to just roll instead of propelling it down the road
