Non of the gauges work in the steering column including gas RPM and speed. The wipers run non stop and can't be turned off. Blinkers don't which is dangerous to drive. We have had it into the mechanic and the could not find what was wrong. Huge bill no answers useless van. The gage says no bus. This happens all the time.
2013 Ram 1500 visibility complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 18 of 18, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My multi-function display on my 2013 ram 1500 has gone blank. This is a critical safety device because I have lost the use of my backup camera which is invaluable on this large vehicle. I have already bumped into small objects while in reverse, which I would not of if my display was working. And by the grace of god, I have narrowly adverted a more serious accident. The display also shows other non-critical functions, such as the radio and navigation, but I am bring it to the attention of the ntsb because of the so important back up camera that provides a very important safety feature, enhancing the drivers rearward visibility. I have checked the fuses and tried resetting the computer by disconnecting the battery, but this did not fix the problem. The dealer says that the display unit needs to be replaced at a ridiculous cost. The dealer said this is a common problem with the 2013 ram 1500. My personal research online confirms this throughout the message boards. Please see the following link: http://www.tundraheadquarters.com/blog/new-ram-1500-owners-report-radio-problems/ I am requesting the ntsb to look into this important safety problem before someone gets hurt or killed, and to order an immediate recall by ram to fix this critical safety problem and manufacturer defect. Thank you.
Bought the pickup in january 2016 one previous owner everything original the passenger side headlight connector pin needs tightened constantly because the low beam high beam loses connection and won't come on unless you pull headlight and tighten the connector pins. It happens at various times in various situations while driving it will also flicker on and off. Parklight works fine. I don't know actual date because it is so frequently so the date is an estimate. The speed varies also first time I was at 65 on freeway.
Wipers are on with truck off had to pull fuse.
I started noticing my drivers side headlight flickering for a few days and now the low and high beam lights are both out. I attempted to replace the bulbs and realized they were fine. The day after, the windshield wipers turned on by themselves and now my driver side window wont roll down. I've been told that it is my (tipm) totally integrated power module and it will cost around $800 or more to replace. So I did some research and cannot believe how many people are having to pay this much money for a faulty part and from the sounds of it, im lucky to have the little problems I do. Reports of peoples vehicles stalling, not starting, airbags not deploying, etc.. How is this not a recall? Peoples lives could be at risk.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 dodge ram 1500. While driving various speeds, the vehicle shook uncontrollably whenever the rear windows rolled down. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 36,741.
While driving my dog stepped on the window button which I thought was in the lock position and the window opened. I now know the window in the front does not lock, but this certainly distracted me the road putting me in a dangerous situation. I now keep him in the back but it is still a problem when kids are in the car and I have to look two ways at the same time.
Inside rearview mirror needs to be readjusted daily. -- first complaining to dealer was 1-24-13, 2665 miles. Dealer ordered mirror and replaced on 1-31-13. New mirror had same problem. Second complaining 2-26-13, 3799 miles. Chrysler response: known issue by chrysler -- "rearview mirror loses adjustment after a few days. Inspected mirror. Checked for applicable tsb's. Tech tips and star online cases. Chrysler responded to requests for technical assistance but offered no solution at this time. Suggesting that harsh/rough road conditions may affect the mirror's ability to retain its adjustment. This is considered a normal condition and no attempt to repair it should be made." I informed the local dealer that was an unacceptable response. Third complaint 5-16-13, 8974 miles. Dealer response: "inspected mirror for defects. Road tested. No problems found. No updated parts available." inside rearview mirror provides visibility that the outside mirrors do not, particularly in reduced visibility when outside mirrors are fogged, frosty, or icy. Made a 2,775 mile trip from maryland to the michigan upper peninsula and mirror had to be adjusted a few times daily on the drive up and back. Made a 2,050 mile trip from maryland to florida and mirror had to be adjusted a few times daily on the drive down and back. This issue becomes a hazard when the driver finally realizes they are moving their head to get a safe view in the rearview mirror. Rearview mirrors are a basic safety feature of all motor vehicles on the road. They need to be reliable. A driver not realizing this mirror is out of adjustment until having to crane their head to get a safe view in the rearview mirror is quite distracting. Driver distractions while driving at interstate speeds is a safety hazard. A vehicle traveling 70 MPH is going 102+ feet per second - any distraction is hazardous.
