Shortly after the purchase we received a TSB for dim low beams. We took it to our dealer and they increased the voltage to the low beams using a scanner. They seemed ok but still seemed dim compared to our other vehicles. Since the purchase of this truck we have replaced the low beam headlamps 7 times. Doing research on this problem it is wide spread with no remedy or fix from RAM. Just google dim headlights 2015 RAM it will fill the screen. This is a major safety issue and needs to be addressed.

I have observed that the headlights and fog lights flicker about every 1 minute while driving. Nothing running in the cab that would affect the voltage or amps to draw to cause this. I have read several online threads of dozens if not hundreds of others having the same issue with no solution or any dealership to help.

Water is leaking into the left headlight housing which causes the turn signal to malfunction, significant fogging and condensation in the headlight assembly unit which reduces visibility from the headlight and causes an error message. This issue is constant since it began and has not improved. This is very unsafe and is a defect in the design or manufacture of the vehicle.

Drivers side headlight has a broken seal and has filled with condensation. Headlight has reduced performance and does not offer the proper level of lighting for night driving. I have seen a dozen of these dodge rams with the same condition. The dealer said they have no direction from dodge to repair this issue.

' the truck was returned 9/20/2019 with the dipstick sitting out under the hood, the engine cover not on, with a scratch on the left fender, scratches on each side of the bumper, wrong tires and rims, my right front light and blinker are not working, and my truck has greasy hand prints all over it. To resolve this problem, I would like you to refund the $306.04 for the coolant flush(done), repair the scratches on the bumper and fender,fix the headlight and return my original tires and rims. When I first learned of this problem, I contacted chris dooley at boerne dodge 9/21/2019, and was told that they would refund $306.04, repair the scratches and headlight(boerne says these are complete). I believe that this response is unfair because I need my correct tires.. I purchased this vehicle from boerne dodge on 5/17/2019 so they should have records of the tires that were on the truck. My vehicle checkup report from boerne dodge on 8/8/2019 says my tires where at 8/32 and I had a courtesy tire check from firestone showing the right front tire is 6/32, left front is 4/32 and the rear tires are at 11/32 (brand new). Firestone stated that in less than 1,000 miles there is no way my tires went from 8/32 to 6/32 let alone 4/32. Also, would one of your used trucks be sold with tire treads that different? The difference in these treads can cause damage to the vehicle's differentials and/or viscous couplings. Firestone also said that the brake dust on the front tires would not have occurred when the engine was being replaced which ias state by the manager of your service department on 9/23/2019 when I went to address the issues above. I have also spoken to another chrysler dealer and they said the two front tires are removed when an engine is replaced. At the time of my trucks repair there were 3 other trucks with the same issue. I am sure my tires and another trucks were switched.

The driver's side headlight fills with water. The water happens when ever the vehicle is driven. The condensation never dissipates and keeps the light lens fogged up. This hinders visibility. I have asked the dealer if there was a recall and to fix this problem to no avail.

Headlight developes condensation, causing headlight (high beam) to blow out (my case), but which ever is on will blow out. Dealership is telling customers to run with high beam on to burn off the condensation. This only causes the bulb to blow.

Headlights will shut off then turn back on so fast if you blink you miss it. Have not noticed a pattern in when it happens. Only time I have not noticed it happening is when the headlights are on while vehicle is not running. Have talked to four different dealers and called the manufacturer directly still no help.
