Sun visor randomly falls. This is a know issue, it has now happened to both of mine. There’s a defect with the mounting bracket that mounts the sun visor to the vehicle.
Multiple times when placing the vehicle in reverse, review view camera screen shows distorted view or 'camera system not available' and blue screen. Have taken to dealer regarding issue multiple times, issue unresolved by component replacement in kind. Have researched online, found this is a common problem with Ram DS vehicles. Have tried online "tricks" to repair - they work temporarily then problem returns. Have been dealing with these issues for several years, very troublesome especially since I have small children so rear visibility when backing is critical.

My windshield wiper speed slowed down then stopped in the middle of my windshield and stop working completely when it was raining. I had to pull over and wait for the rain to stop so I wouldn't cause an accident. I know there is a recall on the ram 2500 and 3500 hundred. I was wondering if the recall expanded to 1500 built around the same time?

The sun visor fails to stay secure and falls from its mounting post - obscuring vision. My driver side did this while under warranty, and was replaced. The passenger side is now falling. Online forums indicated it is a common problem others have as well. Other posts on such forums indicate that dealers know this is an issue and have replaced them out of warranty because of this. I called and reported this to the dealer that did the first repair (covered by warranty) and they said it is no longer covered. I have not had my vehicle inspected for the failure. There are no warning lights or sensors indicating the failure.
Trim cracks around rear window, allowing rain to come inside while driving, this creates a mist that is detrimental to driver safety. Water gets onto inside of windshield and in the drivers face. Needs to be addressed before someone gets blinded by the rain mist and unable to see safely.
2 Issues to go over: 1.) The rear defroster. My defroster has failed on me twice. First time I had it repaired, second time they were going to charge me the same amount for the same failure. I had it repaired by my local auto shop, So it has not been touched by a manufacturer technitian. No warning to it at all. I only noticed it once I had ice covering my rear window and could not defrost, elimitating any center rear view completetly. 2.) The Main issue is the side view mirrors. They are automatic mirrors with a button on the interior to open and close them. From what the Dealership has told me is they use plastic gears to control the mirror operation. And they tend to get stripped out, this happens so often that there is a 6 month backorder on these parts. The safety issue arrises when I am driving down the road at either highway speeds or if there are large wind gusts, my side view mirror will close on me, because those gears holding the mirror in place has stripped so it just closes due to wind pressure. I have to stop the car, get our and reposition the mirror or else I have no visibility from the side view mirror that closes. This is a massive safety risk as I am unable to see to the left OR right of me if my mirror collapses shut. And the fact that this happens to so many vehicle that I cant get the parts to fix it for at least six months in unnacceptable.

My drivers side sun visor is broke and keeps falling down in front of me while I'm driving causing a serious safety hazard. This is an event that happened, My Wife and 2 other friends are driving from phoenix to LA. the sun visor has broke at the pivoting point in which it holds up the main weight of the visor (not the spot where you would click it into) as we are driving the visor randomly comes out and falls down enough to block my vision and startle me only thing hold it up is the wire connection. this keeps happening which makes it very difficult to drive. in addition I'm now unable to block the sun from blazing into my eyes while driving at sunset and sunrise. I'm also filing this complaint because while searching online for a fix I noticed that there are a lot of people having the same issue so I'm trying to bring awarness to the problem
Over time, the folding mechanism of both side mirrors have deteriorated to the point that the mirrors move with wind resistance while driving. The side mirrors need to be constantly adjusted while driving to maintain visibility. This is a widely recognized issue among Ram 1500 owners.

wipers arms keep coming loose and disconnecting. Spoke to Ram representative and they state that Safety Recall W25 / NHTSA 20V-208 does not include my VIN. Until more people complain about having the same safety problem they will not address issue.
My passenger side wiper will quit working due to the nut loosening itself it has happened several times since I bought the truck. I noticed there is a recall for the year of truck I have but when I input my VIN it does not show a decal but I am having the same problems as the recall
