Paint peeling from taking glass out of front windshield

On [redacted], I took my vehicle to Wallace Ram in Stuart, FL, for severe structural cracking on the exterior plastic rear window frame causing water to flood the cab. This failure perfectly matches Stellantis TSB 23-098-23. The dealer refused to help, and a Ram Senior Case Manager under Case #[redacted] denied coverage due to an arbitrary VIN exclusion list. The truck has 96,522 miles, is meticulously maintained, and has zero external impact damage. The frame fractured purely due to design failure. This unremedied...

Ram has a recall for this vehicle for the fuel tank strap attachment point on the frame. It is their x75 recall. The part on my truck is completely rotted out exactly why the recall was made. My truck is 8 months outside of the recall period so Ram will not replace the part. The frame has obviously been rotting for a long time and who knows how long the fuel tank has only been supported with one strap. This is a huge safety concern and one that Ram is refusing to repair because it is outside of the time line. ...

On August 11, 2026, following substantial rain, the engine unexpectedly stalled three times while the vehicle was being driven. The most serious occurrence happened at approximately 70 mph in heavy highway traffic. The engine stopped and gauges dropped to zero, while electrical accessories and infotainment remained powered. The vehicle restarted immediately but would stall again if shifted out of park. This occurred several times before staying on. No check engine light appeared at any point indicating an issue....

The driver's side sun visor falls out of its anchor point and dangles from its internal wiring above the dashboard height, severely obscuring the driver's vision. This is a very unsafe condition that has happened to me while driving on several occasions. Forward vision required for safety is substantially obscured, and moving the visor from your vision or attempting to put it back in its anchor is an unsafe distraction and creates an extremely hazardous driving condition. At highway speeds, this could assuredly...

The sunvisors fall out of their brackets while driving, causing immediate loss of visibility. To be clear, it's not the bracket that's designed for the visor to pop in and out of. It's the main bracket that holds the visor supposedly permanently in place. Both of mine have broken and fallen out so I know this is widespread and not just one bracket that randomly failed, not to mention the widespread documentation on the Internet of others having the same problem. This is a major safety issue due to how quickly the visit falls into the drivers vision, reducing visibility of the windshield by approximately 90%.

The front fuel tank strap mounting bracket broke. There is a recall (U-04/NHTSA 18V-160) for model years 2009-2012 for this issue. It also was added to models thru 2018 as TSB/Ext. Warranty #14-002-18 Rev. A., which expired on my vehicle in March 2026. This means that the expense will be out of my pocket. What I don't understand is, it is a known safety issue on 2009-2018 Ram 1500 trucks, but only a recall for model years 2009-12. And since the recall doesn't presently cover my model year (2014), there was no...

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 MPH, there was a popping sound coming from the vehicle and the hood opened unexpectedly.

The cylinder that deploys the side curtain on the back passenger side spontaneously blew up in my truck. The vehicle was not currently being operated or on at the time is was parked in the driveway and was completely off. There was no forced entry and no collision it just spontaneously exploded causing roof damage, electrical damage, ceiling damage and cab light damage. The vehicle is currently parked at the dealership and has been verified by dealership that it was a mechanical malfunction with the airbag...

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while the vehicle was being inspected, the rack went through the subframe of the vehicle due to excessive rust. The subframe was completely rusted through. The subframe fell apart into pieces, and the fuel tank detached from the vehicle. The contact became aware of Technical Service Bulletin: 14/002/18rvea, referencing an extended warranty coverage; however, no recall had been issued. The warranty coverage only covered up to 12 years. The subframe needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and opened a case. The failure mileage was approximately 62,000.

Paint peeing on roof and hood

Rear window frame cracked at both corners- water leaks inside of vehicle during rain. This can affect electrical components that are at the rear cab inside the truck. I noticed this a month ago but dont know how long it has been there.

The problem that I'm having is the front fuel strap where it's hooks in the frame support has rusted out, and now the fuel tank is only held on just with the rear strap where it hooks in I've noticed a lot of frame rot and is really concerning thankfully I've noticed this while the truck was setting in the driveway.

2014 Ram 1500 Fuel tank strap frame brackets corroded causing fuel tank to fall unsupported. 2009-2012 Ram pickup trucks were recalled (Recall U04 / NHTSA 18V-160) for this exact safety problem. Why isn't the 2014 Ram pickup covered under this recall?
