    My ram 1500 had valve springs break. It has a tick in the engine and the mechanic said it was a lifter. He said 2012 rams always get bad lifters, also the front seats the way they are shaped, when getting in or out the edges are rubbed and my leather is torn. The lifter is a major issue. I'll never by another ram again because of it. My truck sounds awful. I have 97000 mile it's 2012, looks beautiful, and sounds…

    The airbag warning light keeps coming on and off (along with the accompanying "ding"). I think there is a short in the wiring under the driver's seat. Whenever i go over big bumps it seems to cause the issue more often.

    Electrical System · Seats

    Passenger side heated seat prematurely turns off. Dealer states it is turning off because it is reaching max temperature so the safety mechanism is shutting it down so it does not burn up wiring. Only a handful of other trucks have this problem. Other truck owners with the same make and model of truck do not have this problem.
