A/c evaporator coil went bad and released the freon inside the vehicle since this is in the dash area inside of the truck cab. The release was over time and was just repaired. Replacement of the evaporator coil, new freon, heater core (was suggested to replace due to the access and ease to replace an item that would go out next most likely) and the valve - a/c. My understanding is that there is no recall. Total cost…

Nhtsa #17v-821 the ram service centers are stating that dodge has not sent out the parts and computer update to fix the recall. I called dodge and they said around august 2018 but that can change. The service center received updates on the 2018 and 2017 models but nothing on the later models. I am concerned about this recall not being completed in a timely manner which could result in a death if truck comes out of…

The truck stalls when slowing for a stop or idling around a corner. That is a safety issue because the steering and brakes are locked up at that point. Whether it's idling in a traffic jam, coming to a stop, or idling around the corner, you will suddenly have no power but everything else is on. Not the engine and it was so smooth that you don't notice until you can't brake or steer. There are hundreds of people with…

The heat conducted by the cast iron exhaust manifold will eventually weaken the bolts causing them to break. The fact that dodge has not…
