Visibility/Wiper
Drivers wiper actually comes off the drivers side of the window, wrapping around the door column, then freezes in that position. When i manually push the blade back into position it either flies off the window again or freezes 1/2 way. This was in snow conditions. Was unable to use wipers in snow storm. Truck was in motion at 70 mph.

Visibility/Wiper
I was driving about 40mph in a heavy rain storm with the wipers on. The wipers failed and stopped up on the windshield. I could not get them to respond on any wiper setting. The headlights would still respond when turning the wiper switch on so the driver switch appeared to work. I had the bcm codes pulled and it showed the wiper park switch circuit shorted to ground. This was a very dangerous failure.

Driver's visor broke while driving, it fell into the vision path dangling by the power cables. Upon inspection only plastic holds the metal rod in place, no grommet or snap washer is used at the end of the rod to secure it in the ceiling mount; the rod that extends into the base is free to fall out once the plastic breaks. Visor does not free fall to floor, but remains swinging in front of driver, resulting in…

While a/c is on and vent direction is set to front, cold air also blows out of the defrost vent and fogs part of the windshield

Doesn't matter if truck is moving or stationary, the defrost will clear the passenger side. I have not had this truck during the winter, but this would be greatly problematic and dangerous if occurred during the winter.

When turning on the defrost in the morning the driver side windshield becomes completely obstructed by fog while the passenger side is clear. Typically takes 15 minutes before the windshield will clear. This is occurring in florida during the mornings. It has occurred while driving and while sitting in the driveway.

2019 ram 1500 classic. Every time small rock hits the windshield it will chip it. Guaranteed. I already have 6 chips in 3 months of ownership and 3000 mostly local-driving miles. This never happened on any other vehicle i owned or have driven

Even though the defrost system seems to put out plenty of heat the fan or the way the windshield is designed, when it is cold out and/or i am traveling at a decent speed the defroster does not keep the windshield clear. It affects aprox. The last couple of inches that the wipers reach and then everything above that. This then affects the auto wiping option. There is a recall for basically this exact issue nhtsa…

When the temperature is "cold" (36 degrees and below) the backup camera does not work. The screen displays a completely blue screen when the backup camera engages (when reversing, or when selecting the backup camera view intentionally). This happens when in parked, when in reverse, and while driving when the temperature is 36 degrees or below. I do not know the exact temperature when the camera starts/stops working,…
