My name is [XXX]. I have a 2020 Ram Laramie. I purchased the truck June 2nd 2022. So then, my truck did not come with a fitting spare tire. Currently I have 40/13.5r17 on the vehicle. That the manufacturer placed with this truck when I purchased it. The spare that came with the truck, is a 18 inch spare. That doesn’t fit my truck. Also it’s a major safety hazard. My left front tire split on the side so I went to use my spare and it was a wrong tire. Also, I purchase the vehicle with only 17000 miles on it, and No personal owners. Only dealerships. I paid $135,000 cash for it on the spot. Only had it 1 year. Also, now my truck won’t start. Something is wrong with my fuel pump and batteries or something. There suppose to come get it today. I live 30 miles up the mountain in WA state. So I do not do a whole turn of driving. I’m not sure what’s wrong, but I’m kinda stuck without a vehicle now, til it gets fixed I suppose. But I thought I’d let you know, so you can double check you guys products and make sure there now like expired parts or something. Thank you and have a nice day.

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

On 5/22/23 I started my vehicle and started to back out of the parking spot, I then received a power steering malfunction service required warning on the dash and lost power steering functionality. The increased steering effort almost resulted in a collision with another vehicle. I took the vehicle in for service and it was diagnosed with a faulty electric assist system on the vehicle and this is being replaced. The vehicle had about 45,000 miles on it at the time of the incident. The first warning light came on when the power steering failed to operate. If this had failed while on the road the results could have been much worse. This is a dangerous defect from early failure of a safety component.

POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

Randomly (maybe twice a month) when I am stopped at a light (vehicle in drive with brake on) my truck will suddenly surge forward. The dash will say "Shift to park to start", but the truck is already started and running with brake only on. It would be possible to hit someone or something if the brake isn't fully down. I have notified the dealership and they state "NO PROBLEM FOUND AT THIS TIME" when I had it in for service. They are saying I would need to leave my vehicle with them so they can try and replicate it. Being this does not always happen, my vehicle could be with them for a long period of time and not sure how they would replicate it without driving it all day for days/weeks on end. I have had this issue for over a year. I just took my vehicle in for a 30,000 mile service which included a throttle body service. This particular service has not remedied the issue (if it were something to do with that).

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

Manufacturer Recall NumberY78 NHTSA Recall Number21V-880 Recall StatusRecall Incomplete Summary A high pressure fuel pump failure may introduce internally failed component debris into the fuel system potentially causing fuel starvation. Safety Risk Fuel starvation may result in an unexpected loss of motive power, which can cause vehicle crash without prior warning. From this recall I have not been able to drive this truck for over a year. It sits in my driveway with a payment of nearly $1300 a month. I have reached out to the dealer since the day I received the recall notification in the mail and have been told couple weeks for over a year now. This is beyond acceptable for any person. It’s always one excuse after another with the dealers. Fuel pumps are in shortage, parts are on back order and then told we can only have one pump shipped to the dealer a month and the vehicles being sold on the lot take priority over already owned. I have been making these payments for a vehicle that has simply turned into a driveway ornament to say the least. Can you please investigate this issue as the truck is unsafe to drive and quite frankly I’m disgusted with purchasing an 80 thousand dollar truck for it to just sit.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

* Feb. 6, 2023, both vehicle batteries went dead and had to be jumped by our USAA Insurance roadside assistance person in the home parking lot. When batteries were checked at a local auto store, they confirmed both batteries were dead due to an excessive draw to both batteries of 13.5 volts without any explanation as to why. We had to replace both batteries and reported this to the cerified dealership and was told they would not pay for the batteries to be replaced. Feb. 8, 2023, the vehicle starting losing power during normal driving, engine started skipping and engine light in dash came on. * Vehicle slows down and will not accelerate therefore, vehicle is undriveable and unsafe to drive. * No, this issue has not been confirmed by a dealer because no certified dealers within 100 mile radius of our zip code (29407) have technicians available for service. There is a month+ backlog of recall service work ahead of us at these dealers. * USAA Insurance (our auto insurance co.) towed in vehicle to the closest certified dealer to us (approx 4 miles away from our house). We were provided a 8-10 day period before diagnosis can be performed (and price given of $149.00 for diagnosis) and also dealer cannot perform recall before March 8, 2023. * No warning lamps, messages or other symptoms appeared before this and was even at the certified dealership in Dec. 2022 for oil change without any other symptoms.
