Inside the truck I have located a crack in the rear window. The crack is in both sides of the sliding rear window and now leaks. I’m sure overtime this can damage in the interior which may damage seats and or the body of the vehicle. My vehicle is out of warrants and apparently they won’t cover this. Major defect, websites easily accessible with the same issue I have encountered.

My name is [XXX]. I purchased a 2019 ram limited about three months ago. I noticed every time it rains. The rear of my roof has water stains. And my rear window leaks water. I have pictures and videos to show proof. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
Back glass has crack in frame around sliding glass window. Water is leaking into the truck from crack and causing back seat, carpet, ceiling liner and airbags in the ceiling liner to get wet.
Rear window, third brake light & sxm antenna all leak into the cab.. Not covered under warranty. All ram trucks have this issue. Should be recalled
The back window is leaking water. Possibly from 3rd brake light or the back window seal. Dealership said factory warranty has expired but have extended warranty on it. They won't cover the replacement window seal because they deemed it has routine maintenance. Back seat and floor are soaked. Truck is 4 years old. They want me to pay for all the repairs. From my understanding this year and model of truck had numerous complaints about this issue for years.
The contact owns a 2019 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the tailgate fell without warning or driver input. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer however, the mechanic was unable to identify the cause of the failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was not included in the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 22V904000 (Structure).

The truck has problems with electrical on and off. Today because driver assistance sensors did not work I got into a wreck.
My sunroof exploded and sprayed shards of glass all over the inside of of the truck and passengers.
The contact owns a 2019 Ram 1500. The contact stated that upon cleaning the tailgate, the driver's side cable of the tailgate loosened, and the bolts fractured.

The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the dealer as the VIN was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.
Rear window area not sealing properly from issues with body causing water to leak into the cabin. This is causing mold growth, electrical shorts and possible fires. There are hundreds of trucks dealing with this issue discussing this via online forums. Many are breaking the rear windows just to have insurance fix it, some are slapping silicone everywhere to stop the leaks.
Known manufacturer defect in rear sliding window plastic frame that cracks and allows water to enter into the rear cab of the truck. This leads to wet seats, headliner and carpet. If undetected or not corrected this could lead to mold growing behind the rear seats. This also is causing rust on the bolts that hold the rear seat in place. It also affects the various electronic controls that reside behind the rear seat. If those controls short out and sizable the truck while it is traveling down the highway this could lead to a fatality. The FCA is NOT repairing is issue after the 3 year/36,000 mile warranty or if the vehicle was purchased (and registered in Canada and then resold in the US).
Water leaks on roof that stain interior head liner over rear window that also may affect rear curtain air bags.
The Rambox door randomly pops open fully while going down the road allowing items stored in the Rambox to come out of the compartment while traveling down the road. This poses a severe risk to the vehicles following behind my vehicle. I brought the truck in for service and was told that this is not a safety recall, which is incredulous to me. I was told that the cause of the failure was a remote switching device in the B pillar, which is obviously nothing that has been damaged by my use. Since this started happening to me, I have heard of two other drivers of trucks with the Rambox with this same incident. I believe both of those vehicles were 2020 Dodge trucks. This has happened multiple times to me, and they want over $400 to fix it!
Water leaking into roof from unknown source. Creating musty smell (mold). Concerns are: 1. Mold risk to consumer health. 2. Airbags/sensors being affected by water infiltration. 3. Potential electrical hazards associated with water infiltration.
The plastic frame at the top of the rear back glass has two cracks causing significant leaking into the cab of the vehicle.
Rear window structure frame cracks prematurely causing structural damage due to water leaking through into the cab of the truck. This defective backlite by RAM 1500 has been leaking causing the rear window visibility to be affected by fogging up too easily and water dripping through the windows frame on to the inside of the window, also the vehicle is equipped with a battery pack behind the rear seat and if left to get wet will cause failures and damage to vehicle electrical system. The vehicle has been inspected and confirmed by the Ram certified dealership. Manufacture has been informed of this ongoing issue and has issued prior TSB cases for this defect. No prior issues with rear window prior to noticing the faulty cracked window frame. It appears this has been happening to several ram 1500 from years 2019-2022 this should not be happening on a like new 2 year old well taken care of vehicle
The key fobs would not work to unlock or start the vehicle. After two weeks with the Woodland, CA Hoblit dealership, it was determined that two cracks in the rear windshield led to electrical damage under the backseat where the key fobs connect to an electrical sensor. This caused the truck to be non-operational and requiring it to be towed. According to the dealership, they have now seen three recent cases of the same cracks in the rear windshield. When it rains heavy, more of these trucks will no longer become operational. If this went out while driving, the vehicle would not be able to operate, causing an unsafe situation for all drivers on the road. There was no warning. It rained and the cracks were not noticed as they blend into the design of the rear windshield.
Water leaking through the rear window. Headliner gets wet when it rains and when the truck gets washed leaving a smell after it dries. Dealer was notified about a year ago.
Parked, sprayed windshield with washer fluid, liquid streamed down inside of windshield (leak) in three separate locations.
Tailgate unlocks and opens on its own while driving.
The contact owns a 2019 Ram 1500. The contact stated that the rear window frame fractured and caused water to penetrate the vehicle and damaged the wires located in the driver’s side rear passenger’s seat and rear passenger’s side seat. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The mechanic replaced the rear window frame unit and glass. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 49,500.
Water is leaking into the cab of the truck from the back window. Took the vehicle to dodge and they stated it was an issue with the window and seal and it shouldn't have failed like this. Declined warranty because it isn't covered past 12k miles. Customer service via phone call on 5-17-21 stated windows are similar to brakes and windshield wipers as they wear out and that makes it not a manufacturers issues. The water damage is severe and causes a moldy smell and could comprise the live wires in the third brake light. There was no warnings and there isn't anything caused by the user. This seems to be a known problem that others have reported to the federal safety agency and on message boards monitored by Dodge Inc. Seat belts by the water damage had to replaced as they were locking up randomly causing child restraint to get too tight.
Cracked rear window trim where the window opens, damp headliner near the cracked trim area.
Rear window seal is cracked in two separate areas roughly 12 inches apart allowing water to get in. The headliner above rear window has water damage.
My back window trim is cracked and has started leaking below the cracked area. 21k miles and it just happened.
I am wanting to file a claim on a 2019 ram 1500 for a defective rear window. This is a known issue that fca has refused to acknowledge or resolve. The rear window frame is weak and cracks around the rear sliding glass. With these cracks, there is potential for water to leak into the cab of the vehicle. There are also issues with cracks and leaking around other areas of the rear window frame. This may be due to a faulty seal when manufactured. My fear is that this will cause mold to develop behind as well as on my rear seats causing potential harm to not only my vehicle, but myself and family. I also do not want potential damage to important electrical components that are located behind and under the rear seat. My truck is out of warranty, and I understand that there isn't much fca will do, I just hope that pressure is put on them to improve and develop a better design to prevent this issue. I would also like to see fca extend an olive branch so to speak to the customers who have this issue by either replacing the part, or covering a portion of the repair cost for those that are in or out of warranty.
I had noticed that the rear window on the drivers side would leak a small dribble of water after a car wash or a heavy rain. The vehicle was not moving at the time of discovery. I took my truck into meador cdjr in fort worth tx and they removed and replaced the rear seat and rear window. They installed a new window seal and replaced the rear seat. They covered this as a warranty item with no charge to me.
Rear window has developed cracks in the upper frame allowing water in the cab. This allows water to come in contact with the electronic systems on the rear wall. Which have a possibility to short the system and possibly cause an accident.
Rear window is leaking water at 31,000 miles it happens when I wash the truck or when it rains
