When traveling at low speeds when turning right the power steering feels like it is going to go out. I noticed that there have been recalls on the 2019 Ram 1500 due to power steering problems. I believe there is something wrong with my vehicle and should be included with the other 2019 Ram 1500's that were recalled for power steering failure. I'm voicing my concern because it is probably only a matter of time before I have a major issue with the power steering.

Vehicle is burning anti freeze off and dealer can’t find cause because of no recall on the vehicle. Vehicle smells like antifreeze all the time when running. This has been going on for months now but got really bad this last weekend.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
ENGINE FAILURE: The engine is currently available for inspection. While driving approximately 50 mph, the engine quietly shutdown. The truck was immediately towed to a nearby Chrysler Dodge dealer and a tech tore the engine apart and claimed the #8 cylinder is bent, which caused catastrophic damage to the engine. No manufacture rep, police, or insurance rep or anyone else has inspected the engine so far. For almost a year, following a significant warrantied repair, a CHECK ENG light continued to illuminate. The same dealer (Jim Browne Chrysler Dodge Dade City, FL) the truck was towed to had previously completed a major warrantied repair to the engine. And the dealership reps continually claimed (at least 12 times) that the light was a "ghost" error code from the previous repair and that it wasn't anything to be concerned with. Since no additional repair was made, the dealership did not document a single one of the service calls regarding the 12 or so CHECK ENG light service visits. Jim Browne refused to repair the engine, because the vehicle now has approximately 5000 more miles on it than is covered by the 60,000 mile drivetrain warranty. A dealership rep also called their manufacturer rep and was told they were not interested in repairing the faulty engine. The vehicle has never towed a heavy load, never been loaded down with anything heavy, nor has it been used off-road.

This is why they send things out in the mail urging you to have the vehicle inspected/repaired. This covers them against legal claims if the affected part fails and causes injury/death. Don't confuse a "recalled" item with a known defect. They are two very different things. FCA well knows it's a common problem and they've got a TSB on it However, a leaking window/roof does not pose a safety concern so there isn't a recall for it. That doesn't mean it's not a known defect. With this being a known issue it makes it extremely difficult for FCA to claim i have a flooding problem that i caused. They know there's a potential for the leak resulting from a manufacturer defect and they're actively repairing that very issue on my truck. This defect is known to cause the rear seat area to accumulate water/moisture. This also If this leak is a known issue, then shouldn't the etorque system be shielded from the potential risk of water exposure? That's not on me I didn't alter the vehicle, drive through deep water, or somehow create damage to the covered part. It's a manufacturer defect plain and simple.It happens to be where the etorque battery is located. Water is obviously bad for electronics. Therefore the logical and reasonable person would conclude that the defect has cause the failure of the etorque system. So what about that warranty. Obviously the leak is outside the 3 year/36K mile warranty. However a vehicle warranty guarantees (or "warrants") th
Additional Notes:
A recall will only be issued for safety concerns. A Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) will be issued for known problems which are not a safety concern. A TSB isn't required to be repaired, so many times they aren't checked or fixed unless the consumer reports the problem. Likewise, if not addressed during the warranty period, they are typically* up to you to fix and/or pay for. (* more on this below) This is unlike a recall which will have safety implications and thus it must be repaired regardless of model year or mileage.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Started my vehicle and the INSTRUMENT PANEL was blank.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
I was driving on I-75 at approximately 73 mph when my instrument panel lights blinked and then turned off. My vehicle lost all power, I turned the steering wheel about 5-10 degrees to the right and my steering wheel locked. I could not press the brake pedal because it was stuck. I was able to get on the side of the highway where vehicle stopped. Hazard lights did not work, I could not unlock doors, start, or stop the car. When the tow truck came, they checked the battery and it had good voltage. The truck was towed to Feldman Ram dealership since 16 June 2022. I am being told that Mechanics are having difficulty figuring out the problem to this day.
