I took my vehicle to a local repair shop(pep boys) for checking of a slight wobble in the drive line or drive shaft of my vehicle. My 2016 Ram 1500 had just come out of the purchased extended warranty when the wobble started at 60mph. While searching several websites, forums, youtube and google, I came upon many other people that have the same issue that Ram evidently knows about. Recently I had been to the Ram dealership for another recall issue for the cruise control. I mentioned to the technician about this issue with the wobble, which became a conversation which quickly became avoided by two people that were technicians. The problem has become more troublesome now that the passenger seat and drinks in the drink are a constant shake! now that the whole vehicle shakes, I feel that this is a safety hazard and may effect the braking system with this vigorous shake. When I spoke to several people regarding my issues and many others, this issue was due to a two piece drive shaft with a rubber bushing of some sort and the universal joint that contacts the rear end.
NHTSA recall number 18V-486. The recall was announced July 26, 2018 but fca still has not issued the part for this recall and it has been a full month already. I use my bed to carry goods all the time and I am in fear of the tailgate opening. Please do something about this. Thank you

I was backing down boat ramp and put truck in park I got out of the truck to secure boat to trailer and the truck rolled down boat ramp knocking me down and dragging me into the water and truck completely semeraged in bottom of lake.
At extremely low speed the front collision warning sensor will occasionally falsely warn of an object present. Numerous repairs have been attempted but the problem persists. Dealer claims we are the only ones who have ever reported this problem. Waiting for fca to decide what to do next. I have videos of the events but currently no still photos. This has happened several dozen times starting in Dec 2016 and as recently as Aug 6, 2018.
My cruise control was engaged as I was going down a mountain approaching a sharp turn when I hit the brakes the petal went to the floor and the truck accelerated. I went into the woods where I hit numerous trees and totaled the vehicle. What can be done about this
While the truck was in motion traveling about 70mph down the interstate, my passenger window fell halfway into the door. This caused me to swerve and almost hit another vehicle. It was 20 degrees outside around 430 am and the truck and been warmed up sufficiently and the heater was on. However I was still told it happened because it was cold outside and the "clips" that hold the window had broken. I did not attempt to roll down the window. It constantly kept falling down by itself and I had to hold the power button up to keep it from doing so, while driving in the morning rush hour traffic. Once I got to work and parked my truck in a unsecured parking garage, the window was up this was at about 630 am cst. Upon returning to my parked/stationary truck at a break around 9 am cst, the window had dropped halfway down and the same throughout the day. I went to the dealer at once, and was told this is a very common problem, and its not covered because of my mileage. So I had to pay out of pocket for it, for a vehicle that is not even 2 years old, and almost caused me to hit another vehicle. Not to mention that it would not stay up and the truck was not attended to in a unsecure garage in the not so nice part of the city. Now the back driver's side window is doing the same thing, and its no where near cold (constantly above 60 degrees even at night). This is a huge problem for all vehicles that are made by Dodge that have this worthless and cheaply made window mechanisms.
High speed vibration starting around 60 mph only get worst as you speed up.. one dealer said it was the eco. System kicking in, another said there wasn't no problem. But I now there's one. To many complaints online.
The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. While driving 75 mph, the front end of the vehicle dropped and the rear end raised 18 inches. As a result, the vehicle was at a 45 degree angle. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road to check the vehicle. The contact restarted the vehicle and drove home. The contact stated that the failure recurred three times within the past six months. The dealer (patriot Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, 916 S george nigh expressway, mcalester, ok 74501) informed the contact that the air suspension pump needed to be replaced. The manufacturer informed the contact to call the number on the back of the owner's manual to speak with someone about the failure. The failure mileage was 30,000.
Drivers side widows clips break when window is cold in winter. Window does not go up or down. Dealer indicated they have seen this quite a bit on other 2016 Ram 1500. I asked if they are going issue a recall to fix the problem. They said probably not since it's only in the winter and only impacts cold weather vehicles. When asked what to do to fix it they said don't use the window when it's cold. Poor design on 2016 window motor and won't issue a fix. Shotty engineering and product uplift.
The vehicle has an upgraded 32 gallon fuel tank, however on E with the fuel light on the vehicle only takes 24 gallons maximum. The dealership claims this is a software issue which has no fix at the moment. The dealer claims the software still reads the 26 gallon standard fuel tank.
The truck was put into park with the key in the ignition and the engine running. It was parked in a restaurant parking lot. Then around five minutes later, it went into reverse and began rolling backwards. It seemed to accelerate. I had to jump in and slam on the brake to stop it. I do not know how this could occur, but have recently learned of recalls for similar situation with the truck in the parked position, but going into gear. Our VIN was not recalled. There were witnesses to this event.
The three way coolant valve failed. Car has about 59000 miles. I note a review of the internet reveals that this problem is very common and certainly should not happen in such low miles. The valve problem appears ongoing. In 2013 there was a recall for Ram trucks for a similar issue. Clearly it has not been corrected. Systems can fail and windshield defrosters will not work creating an extreme hazard during driving.
I am having an issue with the electronic dial transmission. I have had it come out of park and try running me over, after the first time it happen I have gotten extra vigalant to make sure that it shows P. I have gotten out of truck with it in P and have had people come into store as I'm shopping and tell me your truck has just reversed into traffic. Luckilly I have not hit anyone or anything other then a hill. I have had it roll backwards four times on me as I am exiting the truck pinning me between the door and cab almost rolling me under the truck. I then started looking online and have noticed several articals that state that you are investigating this issue.
The sync 3/audio/nav system, once again quit functioning. I believe this is a safety issue. From my perspective if I or especially my wife is driving this vehicle in an area we are not familiar with, or late at night or come up on an accident or other unsafe situation and are unable to call 911 or for other assistance or unable to navigate through the area we are unfamiliar with, our lives as well as others would be at risk. This has occurred approximately ten times since purchasing this vehicle in November 2016. As of today 19 July 2017 this vehicle is at sallisaw Ford, located in sallisaw, ok where it was purchased - for the third time, for this problem. The problem occurs sporadically, can occur while in use or after turning sync system on or off.
The tailgate falls down while driving. This could possible days payload to spill onto the roadway causing an accident or even death. This has also happened while sitting and while parked.
