ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Engine Fan / Radiator Shroud. During hot weather and engine temperature, the engine fan engaged. Due to the high ambient, I believe the radiator shroud was hot and the material was soft, it became deformed under the vacuum created by the fan cause it to interfere with the engine fans path of rotation. The interference caused the fan and shroud to shred each other sending shrapnel in all directions, including into the back side of the radiator, engine compartment. Plastic debris was found on top of the valve cover, battery, radiator, exhaust manifold. This problem has been reported by numerus online forms. This failure was inspected by the dealer and I was informed it was not under warranty, but drivable and safe. Their recommendation however was to replace the fan, shroud and radiator. However, they have seen cases with far worse damage causing catastrophic failure of the radiator leaving the vehicle stranded

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
For the longest (approximately two years now), my backup camera would "go out" sometimes when I engage reverse, or it would show squiggly lines to where I can't use it. This happens quite often - especially when I need it. The truck is available for inspection upon request and I also have videos of the issue. For a truck of the height, I'm not able to see objects, animals or people when backing up from a stop. I took it too a dealer near me and they inspected the system and found nothing wrong. But the same problem persist. There are no warning lamps or lights when this happens. Pictures are attached for reference.

driving down Interstate 75 going 70 mph my 2016 Dodge Ram 2500 stalled. I had to pull over and i sat on the side of the road for 30 minutes before my truck would start back up. I made it back to Ocala and it stalled again. I waited 30 minutes and it started back up. The next day i dropped my truck off at Phillips Dodge Ocala FL. Phillips diagnosed that my TPIM needs to be replaced. I started doing research on the TPIM and noticed 2007-2015 the Dodge Rams 1500, 2500, 3500, 4500, 5500 all had a recall. How is it my 2016 Dodge Ram 2500 is having the same exact issues as the previous models? Why is my 2016 not covered under this recall?
Corrective Action:
driving down Interstate 75 going 70 mph my 2016 Dodge Ram 2500 stalled. I had to pull over and i sat on the side of the road for 30 minutes before my truck would start back up. I made it back to Ocala and it stalled again. I waited 30 minutes and it started back up. The next day i dropped my truck off at Phillips Dodge Ocala FL. Phillips diagnosed that my TPIM needs to be replaced. I started doing research on the TPIM and noticed 2007-2015 the Dodge Rams 1500, 2500, 3500, 4500, 5500 all had a recall. How is it my 2016 Dodge Ram 2500 is having the same exact issues as the previous models? Why is my 2016 not covered under this recall?

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
After buying new tire. I had an alignment done. in order to align the vehicle i was told the draglink was welded in solid and because of that it makes the steering wheel off center. It is a $500+ dollar fix with custom parts. I feel this could be a problem and safety issue.

recall number 19V021000 was performed to correct drag link jam nuts loosening. took truck in to get alignment done and the reapir shop wants to charge $700 dollars for replacement drag link because they cannot adjust draglink due to previous recall. this is unacceptable and should have never been a permeant fix and now forcing consumers to pay for something that should have been fixed the right way. i am suprised that a class action lawsuit hasnt been brought on by this

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
Signal to 5th wheel brakes failed then a light to service electronic brake system came on and the electronic stability control failed. I was on a grade and barely stopped with all 4 wheels smoking. Trailer was well under the factory weight for towing capacity. CHP and local sheriff stopped but didn’t make a report. If it had failed 100 yards later I probably wouldn’t be sending in this complaint alive and well. I truly believe it’s a RAM issue and needs to be resolved before other trucks have this issue. Dodge can’t get to the fix for a few weeks so I’m stuck without a vehicle
