Defect Description:

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

The vehicle comes with a safety feature that automatically locks the doors when you reach a set speed, I believe it is 15mph. On several occasions, I, as well as two others that I am sure of, have had their arm on the door when the window was open and when the auto door locks engaged, it pinched us, and on three separate occasions, left bruises. I contacted Ram and their independent reviewers said there was no manufacturing defect. I agreed with that but told them that it's a poor design, and at least change the auto door lock feature to engage when the vehicle shifts into gear. Still not the best option but probably the easiest to just change the software. I currently have the auto lock feature disabled, but if this were to happen to somebody while driving, it could distract them long enough to hit something.

Defect Description:

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

While slowing down from 45mph on a flat level road (over a bridge) prior to making a turn the outer passenger tie rod end completely decoupled from the hub's backing plate. I almost completely lost steering. Had another vehicle been in the area, or had the incident happened a second or two earlier there could have been a crash or even a fatality. I was able to torque steer the vehicle around the turn and bring it to a stop on the adjacent street. I couldn't locate the tie rod nut - so I don't know where it came off. The vehicle was flat bedded to the dealer last night. There were not any warning signs that this part was about to fail before it did. The dealer claims that it only needs an outer tie rod and an alignment.
