My 2013 ram1500 had a vehicle recall for the transmission shifter locking pin. As a result of this defect, my gearshift shifted gears when the brake pedal was not depressed and as a result my truck is now stuck in 4th gear. This damage that was caused as a result of faulty equipment presents a safety hazard because the truck has no response time and can not keep up with the flow of traffic. Nor can the truck…

I agreed to purchase this truck, but it had a recall on the tailgate. When i got home i couldn't quite use the tailgate. The dealer is saying to you the national highway that they fixed it and they will get paid for it. I as the customer will have to fight or have troubles down the road, literally! They checked off the repair and have been rushing me to sign over the title. Garber saginaw, mi is the dealer

Defrost does not work, it is currently blowing cold air. This makes it extremely difficult to see on cold mornings. I've almost been hit twice pulling out of my road. I've taken it to 2 shops both gave me 2 different expensive answers but both say it's a common issue. I've looked online and it is in fact a common issue, and no one has a definite fix. So i can spend $1500 to 'maybe fix the issue, or spend $2300 and…

Called dealer they quoted…

I bought this truck in august 2016 in missouri at a used car dealer. When i was notified i had a recall on my vehicle i took it to the dealer. The dealer refused to fix any recalls on the vehicle because i was built in canada. I was not told the vehicle was from canada when i bought it, nor did i know i wouldn't be able to do recalls. So basically i have to drive around in a unsafe vehicle because of this.

According to the ramforum.com posting thread, this is a major issue with these trucks. The driver's door and tailgate only will lock with remote, inside door lock button or the sensor switch on front door handles. The other 3 doors (passenger front and two read doors do not lock. They all unlock just fine. This is intermittent and according to a lot of people with this issue, only a bcm replacement will solve it.…

I feel if they are going to install safety features in their vehicles they should be used. Next they will be charging us to use our seatbelts and charge us to activate our…
