Visibility/Wiper
My brand new 2020 ram 1500 laramie sport is equipped with tilting down driver/passenger side mirrors when in reverse. The problem is when they tilt down, they tilt down so far that it is out my view. I utilize this feature for backing into my garage, on side on my boat, where space is very limited. I actually have inches on both sides of the truck. After spending big money on my new ram 1500 2020 laramie sport, i…

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.

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.

Visor does not free fall to floor, but remains swinging in front of driver, resulting in…

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…

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.
