Another thing I’ve noticed is how weak the clear coat is on these trucks. Mine is the dark blue, so everything shows up. Last time I washed it, I noticed an alarming number of bug stains in the clear. This is my 18th vehicle and I have never seen clear this soft. 

 

Anyone else notice this?

I have about 2500 miles on my RST. Owned it for just about 3 months. No real issues at all, honestly. The phone BT connection has been spotty at random times, but nothing systemic.    8 spee

Over 300,000 RAM 1500s were just recalled for faulty airbags and seat belts not working in a crash.

I wouldn't worry about it.  You'll be on 19 soon enough!  Haha just teasing but it's probably true.  Lol.

I think I'll take my crappy clear coat and wonky transmission over that. OUCH

Yes our GM trucks have issues also.

RAM may have a luxurious interior..... but is still plagued with problems.

My USB ports randomly won't work. Pretty annoying when I need to get directions off of Android Auto.

Happens with the K2 trucks also. I have it from time to time when playing music from a USB drive in my Sierra. Usually wiggling it around does the trick!

Drove away and halfway down the street the radio was on but not playing... I could scroll channels / stations inputs but no sounds....  Then when I got to my destination, the E parking brake set it self...     

 

Later that day, radio worked and after parking again, I went to the truck 5 minutes later and got something out of the back seat and closed the door and the parking brake set itself again...

 

Called the dealer they said maybe it needed a software update.   Before getting to the dealer I got a call on a recall/ update that needed to be done...

 

Been working since..

 

My GMC needed a software update? Are we driving cell phones now?

Here you go:  https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/how’s-your-2019-ram-running-take-our-poll.1017/

 

Not as bad as you might think.  

 

I noticed no one hear mentioned the 28 page rear window leak issue.

50% of trucks with issues.  I mean it's always hard to know if that is high or not.  It sounds high, but it depends on what someone would consider an issue.  If someone considered the fisheye reverse problem on our trucks and "issue" then you could say 100% of the trucks have an issue.  

 

I can create another poll using the equivalent choices, so that we can get more of an apples to apples comparison if anyone thinks that would be beneficial?

I’ve had an audible grinding in the cab under hard acceleration from maybe the transfer case? Also it re appears under braking. 

 

Other than Han that the truck drives like a dream no issues no other odd noises

I've had various electrical issues that have "fixed" themselves by cycling the truck off and on or just cycling through several restarts/reboots.  I've had saved settings revert back to default factory settings which I've had to manually reset myself.  I've had the radio playing FM and Bluetooth simultaneously through the head unit as well as erroneous DIC codes displayed which cleared without having to pull out the OBD-II.

 

I don't like the gremlins but it's nice having a machine that fixes itself!

Damn, I got a lot of bugs in my new truck, but none required a trip to the dealer 20 miles away so I'd have to say no.. I can live with it, but, damn, that's annoying.

Fisheye issues, Android Auto rebooting and being intermittent, air conditioner saying "off" on screen even at full blast, clunky transmission that jerks the truck when I shift it to D, and more. Then there's the issue I had with the back end fishtailing so bad I nearly ran over a pedestrian on a road that was covered in dried dirt but that wasn't a mechanical issue, that's just the way Chevrolet designed it. I fixed that by changing tire pressure but I'm still disappointed overall.

Minor software and electrical issues are nothing compared to over 300,000 2019-2020 RAM 1500 trucks recently recalled for

Airbags not deploying in a crash and seat belt tensioners that do not work upon impact.

I know which direction I would throw my hard earned money at for a new truck purchase.

IDK man all the car and driver/Edmunds etc type of reviews I've seen say Ram is the way to go.  I think it's kind of funny that the interior on the trucks is talked about so much.  I mean as long as my a** fits in the seat and it doesn't hurt then not sure I'd complain about much else haha.  I mean I did choose to get leather so the kiddos won't stain the seats and I do like the storage compartments in the seats and in the truck but I wouldn't pick a truck based on the interior.  I know that's not the only difference but seems like one of the major reasons why ram edges out the other trucks.  I'm like really.  Literally the least important thing (to me anyways lol).

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!
