Owner report 11550042 · 2023-10-15 (October 15, 2023)

Took delivery of new truck (2024 Ram 1500 4x4 Laramie) on September 25th.

Owner report 11566412 · 2024-01-19 (January 19, 2024)

I recently purchased my first ram truck on 1/11/24. On the morning of 1/15/24 monday, I was leaving my work and as I tried to turn on my truck, it would not turn due to battery being dead. So, I asked coworker of mine to give me a jump. After 10 minutes or so, trunk was on but it had engine and abs, and trailer brake light on. I only had put on 277 miles at that time. Truck seems to make some random noises when driving. Also, when trying to trying to jump the truck it takes this lound sound in the speaker.

Owner report 11566850 · 2024-01-21 (January 21, 2024)

While traveling 75mph on the interstate, the tonneau cover ripped free of the bed of the truck. The two clips closest the cab broke in half. The two clips near the tailgate bent the rails of the quarter panels upwards as they tore free. The tonneau cover blew up in the air about 20 feet, flying in front of the truck behind me. Luckily, they were paying attention and were able to make a controlled swerve out of the way. This is hazardous to others. Reading forums on the internet, this has happened to many other drivers of Ram 1500 trucks with t…

So, I asked coworker of mine to give me a jump. After 10 minutes or so, trunk was on but it had engine and abs, and trailer brake light on. I only had put on 277 miles at that time.

Truck has auto start/stop for fuel efficiency. It automatically engages on startup. Truck is prone to sudden unexpected acceleration when it is engaged. Has almost caused 3 wrecks with my truck. Dealership says they know about the problem and that I should just turn it off everytime I get in the truck. This will kill somebody some day. I forgot to turn it off today and it almost caused me to rear-end another vehicle while at a stoplight.

Truck has auto start/stop for fuel efficiency. It automatically engages on startup. Truck is prone to sudden unexpected acceleration when it is engaged. Has almost caused 3 wrecks with my truck. Dealership says they know about the problem and that I should just turn it off everytime I get in the truck. This will kill somebody some day. I forgot to turn it off today and it almost caused me to rear-end another vehicle while at a stoplight.

My vehicle is equipped with an automatic engine stop/start feature that shuts off the engine when the vehicle is stopped, as well as an eTorque system intended to assist with initial acceleration. While stopped at an intersection with a slight downhill grade (foot fully depressing the brake pedal), the auto stop/start feature engaged and the engine shut off. When I released the brake to make a right turn, neither the engine nor the eTorque system reengaged. As a result, the vehicle rolled forward under its own momentum into oncoming traffic. …
