LOCATION: STATE HWY 55, BUFFALO, MN, INTERSECTION WITH CENTRAL AVENUE DESCRIPTION OF THE ISSUE: WHILE STOPPING AT THE RED LIGHT AND APPLYING THE BRAKE, THE TRUCK EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN ACCELERATION BURST. EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKE WAS FULLY APPLIED, THE ENGINE WAS ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN AND PUSHING THE TRUCK. AT LOW SPEED (<5MPH) AND WITH THE BRAKE FULLY APPLIED, THE TRUCK HIT A STOPPED MINIVAN IN FRONT OF ME AND CONTINUE PUSHING IT TOWARDS THE INTERSECTION IN BURSTS AS I WAS DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. AFTER A FEW (THREE OR SO) BRAKE PUSH AND RELEASE ATTEMPTS, ACCELERATION STOPPED AND THE TRUCK (AND THE MINIVAN) CAME TO A FULL STOP. THE TRUCK PUSHED THE MINIVAN FOR SEVERAL FEET. THERE IS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO A TRUCK SINCE THE MINIVAN HAD A BICYCLE RACK INSTALLED. EXCEPT FOR THE DAMAGED BICYCLE RACK, THERE IS NO OBSERVABLE DAMAGE ON THE MINIVAN. AFTER THE TRUCK CAME TO A FULL STOP, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WAS ON AND BLINKING FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, THEN IT ON. THE FRONT PARK ASSIST LIGHT WAS ALSO ON. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE TRUCK TO CLOSES THE SAFE PARKING LOCATION. I COULD NOT RECREATE BRAKING RELATED ACCELERATION. POTENTIAL CAUSE: A WEB SEARCH SHOWED SEVERAL REPORTS OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION BURSTS WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE WERE REPORTED ON DODGE / RAM VEHICLES, INCLUDING RAM 1500. THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEMS WAS ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THIS CASE. SAFETY CONCERN: IF I DID NOT DEPRESS THE BRAKE SEVERAL TIMES WHICH IN MY OPINION STOPPED ACCELERATION, THE TRUCK MAY HAVE PUSHED THE MINIVAN INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION AND CAUSE A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

Electrical system, Air bags, Jan 1, 2021
REAR WINDOW FRAME IS CRACKED AND LEAKING WATER INTO THE CAB AS WELL AS WHERE THE REAR AIRBAG WIRING. THIS WAS NOTICED IN A STATIONARY POSITION.
Visibility/wiper, Dec 31, 2020
AS WITH AN OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF OTHER RAM TRUCKS, MY REAR SLIDING WINDOW FRAME HAS CRACKED. THIS CAUSES WATER TO LEAK IN THROUGH THE CRACK WHEN IT RAINS. THE WATER LEAKING IN CAN DAMAGE THE HEADLINER AND COULD CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. AN UPDATED WINDOW WITH A METAL FRAME WOULD BE MUCH BETTER THAN THE OEM ONE AND PROBABLY FIX THE ISSUE EVERYONE IS HAVING.

THIRD BRAKE LIGHT REAR WINDOW LEAK AND PLASTIC BLACK TRIM IS CRACKED ON BOTH SIDES. CAUSING WATER DAMAGE TO THE BACKSIDE OF MY SEATS AND I DON'T WANT ANY ELECTRICAL TO GET SHORTED OUT BY THE WATER DAMAGE. IT'S BEEN DECLINED FOR WARRANTY REPAIR AT PLYMOUTH DODGE DEALERSHIP. HAVE MANY OTHER FRIENDS WITH THE SAME ISSUES AND HAD HIM WARRANTEE FIXED BY DEALER.

REAR WINDOW HAS BEGAN TO CRACK FROM THE INSIDE AND A LOT OF WATER COMES IN TO THE REAR. MY SEATS GET WET AND ALSO THE CARPET OF THE TRUCK. STARTING TO SMELL AND MIGHT HAVE MOLD. THE HEADLINER ALSO GETS WATER. MY CONCERN IS THAT IT MAY BUILD UP MOLD THROUGHOUT TIME. FCA IS UNWILLING TO REPLACE THE WINDOW OUTSIDE OF THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE FOR THE 5TH GENERATION RAM AND THERE ARE MANY OTHERS THAT HAVE COME ACROSS THIS ISSUE. THEY HAVE ALSO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS AND HAVE SENT OUT A LETTER TO THEIR SERVICE TEAMS (SEE PICTURE). THE WATER CAN COME IN WHEN LEFT OUTSIDE DURING A RAIN STORM OR SIMPLY GOING THRU THE CAR WASH. ANY WATER THAT HITS THE ROOF OF THE TRUCK AND GOES TO THE BACK WILL EVENTUALLY MAKE IT THROUGH THE REAR WINDOW CRACK AND INSIDE THE TRUCK.
Seats, Other or unspecified, Dec 31, 2020
REAR WINDOW PLASTIC CRACKED/LEAKING WHEN RAINING OR GOING THROUGH A CAR WASH. DEALER FIXED 3RD BRAKE LIGHT AND RESEALED ANTENNA BUT WINDOW STILL LEAKING HEADLINER AND SEATS GET SOAKING WET I HAVE A VIDEO OF THIS HAPPENING BUT IT WON'T LET ME UPLOAD IT
Electrical system, Visibility/wiper, Dec 31, 2020
WATER (RAIN,CAR WASH, ETC) IS LEAKING THROUGH THE REAR POWER SLIDING WINDOW AND INTO THE VEHICLE AND DAMAGING THE INTERIOR (HEADLINER, SEATS). THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY RAM/FCA AND THEY HAVE NOT RECALLED THEM YET. THIS CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING. I'M ALSO CONCERNED THAT IF WATER SITS INSIDE OF THE LINER CAN IT CAUSE MOLD TO FORM? ALSO CAN IT SHORT OUT ANY ELECTRICAL TO THE WINDOW? WHEN I NOTICED IT HAPPEN TO ME THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED.
