The tailgate will not stay closed. It comes open when driving and sometimes won’t stay closed at all. This is a common problem/recall with this model truck but for some reason doesn’t show up with my VIN #

The tailgate still falls open unexpectedly while driving after the tailgate recall repair was done.. The tailgate fell open and hit my camper power jack and dented the tailgate above the handle.. I'd like the tailgate latch to be fixed correctly and the dent fixed as well.. im afraid to haul anything in the back that could potentially fall or slide out due to this issue..

Have 2016 ram truck, jumps out of gear hits a fence. Take it to a dealer they admit there is a recall. They repair the recall and tell me to call fca customer support 1800-992-1997 I speak with quintin and he tells me since the dealer already replaced the part, they can not confirm that is why my truck rolled into a fence. And denied the body repairs. I ask for documentation that states why they are refusing to repair damage due to their defective product. They tell me that is confidential and that I need to go thru my insurance to make a claim. So I have to pay for their faulty equipment. Lesson learned don't purchase from chrysler ...

I don't know what happen to my interior door handle but the plastic screws broke and the door isn't sturdy any more. I called customer care for ram if this can be repaired but they didn't care. I second guess using the handle and therefore almost fall out of my truck to close my door because I don't know what to use to close the drivers door. Another issue with this truck is the brakes. If you come to an abrupt stop you can feel the truck trying to stop and you feel a weird movement on the break pedal and a few seconds later the truck stops. Lastly there is an electrical glitch in my truck. The nav/ radio display sometimes blacks out during starting my truck. Some times also after starting my truck the backup camera display is scrambled in reverse gear.

When operating 2016 ram 2500 and towing a trailer, the tailgate dropped while traveling causing the tailgate to become damaged and striking the trailers jack handle and bending tailgate. I've read several complaints that the tailgates are dropping while operating truck.
