Visibility/Wiper
Heat blows out of the passengers side vents and defroster but not the drivers side. This creates visibility problems as the wind shield fogs easily and frequently.

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…

The heater core was leaking. Driving on the expressway in the middle of winter the heater core started leaking and my windows instantly fogged over not allowing me to see out of the windshield or side windows. I had to pull over to the shoulder to clear my windows. After that i noticed that i had little to no heat in the truck and started to smell the antifreeze inside of the truck. Called dealer they quoted…

Driving down the highway on a rainy day with wipers on, suddenly they freeze in the middle of the windshield and do not respond to on/off or the different levels, they sit stuck in the middle of the windshield. After roughly 10 minutes i turn them on to full speed and they work, but the homing position now has them sitting straight up and down (think of school bus), instead of laying down per usual. I have been…

Non of the gauges work in the steering column including gas rpm and speed. The wipers run non stop and can't be turned off. Blinkers don't which is dangerous to drive. We have had it into the mechanic and the could not find what was wrong. Huge bill no answers useless van. The gage says no bus. This happens all the time.

My multi-function display on my 2013 ram 1500 has gone blank. This is a critical safety device because i have lost the use of my backup camera which is invaluable on this large vehicle. I have already bumped into small objects while in reverse, which i would not of if my display was working. And by the grace of god, i have narrowly adverted a more serious accident. The display also shows other non-critical…

Bought the pickup in january 2016 one previous owner everything original the passenger side headlight connector pin needs tightened constantly because the low beam high beam loses connection and won't come on unless you pull headlight and tighten the connector pins.

I started noticing my drivers side headlight flickering for a few days and now the low and high beam lights are both out. I attempted to replace the bulbs and realized they were fine. The day after, the windshield wipers turned on by themselves and now my driver side window wont roll down. I've been told that it is my (tipm) totally integrated power module and it will cost around $800 or more to replace. So i did…
