    On at 3 separate occasions, i have had the accelerator get stuck on what i believe is full throttle. Initially i thought it might be my floor mat, however it happened yesterday in a parking lot. So there was no reason for the peddle to get involved with the floor mat. I was accelerating, but obviously not to full throttle

    I have tried many times to get these numerous safety recall complied with and get no follow up from my local dealer! I took it in for a scheduled appointment and was told parts were on order. It's been far to long, i have checked in numerous times and get no help. Please find a place that can make my vehicle safe or make them buy it back from me! I don't want to die, or kill an innocent family! *dt*jb

    The cruise control on the vehicle doest work. It seems to be something wrong with the system, because it starts to somewhat work when i reboot the system to factory settings. After a while, the system just stops working. I guess that this is something a lot of people go through, since there's tons of youtube videos about people trying to fix it.

    The truck was recalled and repaired or up dated as per recall notices. Then i started having trouble with my cruise control. My dealer checked the switch and fuse , they where ok. The tech said there is maybe something broke in the clock spring. I only have 29k on the truck. I think they may have broke something in one of the recall fixes. There seems to be other people with the same trouble. I don't think they…

    Tl* the contact owns a 2019 ram 2500. While driving 65 mph, the rpms increased and the engine revved. The contact released the accelerator pedal and manually shifted the gears in order to return to the correct reading. In addition, the computer system that controlled the radio and camera would glitch and hesitated to change views. Also, while driving approximately 40 mph in an intersection, the vehicle suddenly…

    My 2013 ram 2500 turbo diesel has experienced a failure of the turbo unit. Upon researching this, i found that this has been a documented problem with the cummins holset turbo. From 2007 - current this part has been failing causing the vehicle to limp home at 15mph without warning. Fortunately i was just leaving a parking lot and merging into traffic at 40mph when my vehicle began to stall, and i was able to pull of…

    June 26th 2019 my truck felt like it shifted into 4wd on its own, later that day i lost abs, traction control and cruise control. It went to the dealership where it took 3 days to diagnose. Was informed that abs pump and abs control module need to be replaced and the part is not currently available. Further research of internet forums shows this is a known problem and does not appear to be addressed properly. I am…
