WHILE MOVING TO SOUTH CAROLINA i NOTICED THAT SOMETHING WAS HANGING, A WIRE OR SOME TYP IF LINE, AS I CRAWLED UNDER THE TRUCK, I FOUND THAT IT WAS THE FUEL TANK STRAP. THE STRAP HAD PULLED OUT FROM THE FRAME THAT WAS CORRODED. I HAVE ALWAYS WASHED THE UNDER CARRIAGE COMING FROM MASSACHUSSETTS AND THE ROAD SALT. AT THE PRESENT TIME I AM USING A TIE DOWN STRAP TO SECURE IN PLACE. SEARCHING THE INTERNET, I FOUND THAT THERE IS SOME TYPE OF RECALL BUT NEVER RECIEVED ANYTHING IN WRITTING.
The tailgate recall was supposed to have been fixed, but it didn't work. The tailgate has dropped down at least 4 or 5 times since the supposed recall repair. The last time, it hit the jack on the trailer I was pulling and did quite a bit of damage to the tailgate. I have already submitted this information to Mopar around the 15th and was told I would be contacted within 1 business day, but was not contacted. I have uploaded pictures showing the damage. I have not contacted the insurance company yet.
Front Fuel tank strap ripped out of the frame do to corrosion causing the front of the gas tank to drop almost 6 inches. I live in New York and read that the same issue has occurred on the Ram 1500 from 2009 to 2012

The tailgate fell open while I was driving December 1, 2021. I had closed the tailgate before pulling onto the roadway. I noticed a thump & stopped to check what had caused the noise. This had happened several weeks before & I thought maybe I had not closed the tailgate properly. This problem was supposed to have been fixed in a previous recall. Why would this happen again?
I had safety recall U74 done in July 2018, in my tailgate. The problem is doing the same thing again. And I was told by Chrysler that it is out of warranty.

The truck was started and moved from one side of the driveway and moved to the other side of the driveway. The truck was turned off after being moved.

Went to front of truck and flame had turned to flames, extinguished fire.
I was unloading groceries from bed area. Tried to close the tailgate and tailgate would not latch. I always pull on tailgate after closing to make sure it latches but this time it did not. Since then it has repeated this action 3-4 more times but never opened while moving (yet.) I manipulate the latching mechanism a few times and then it will catch. Vehicle is out of warranty and was purchased previously owned ( I have had the vehicle for approximately 2-1/2 years), and currently has 92,430 miles. All other recalls are fixed and up to date.

Interrion of truck fills up with water because third brake light, manifold bolts and gaskets need replaced due to some issue. Tapping noise from engine compartment.
I purchased my 2015 Ram 1500 brand new ordered from the factory. After about two years the Ram box covers degraded which leave pieces of fiberglass in my arms whenever I reach across them to tie something down or get something out of the bed of my truck. This causes a rash that lasts for about two weeks. I take very good care of my truck. This is not due to owner error.
Passenger side storage well was completely filled with water. Went unnoticed for unknown number of days. Took vehicle into crown Dodge of fayetteville. They acknowledged the growing number of complaints on the same issue. Replaced 3rd brake light, they tried telling me that all door weather strips were worn and needed replaced. Dealership did not look for, find or fix water damage to the seats, carpet or body panels. This is the second incident with water damage in the same spot while I have owned this vehicle.
Headlight developes condensation, causing headlight (high beam) to blow out (my case), but which ever is on will blow out. Dealership is telling customers to run with high beam on to burn off the condensation. This only causes the bulb to blow.
About 4 weeks ago the check engine light came on. The code reads as fuel temperature sensor. After the recall for the tailgate, my truck tailgate has opened twice while driving. Prior to the recall zero.
