I was driving doing 55mph on the highway and the hood came lose and flopped back covering my windshield. Luckily there was nobody too close to me I and was able to avoid a collision.
RECALL IS NOT BEING COMPLETD IN A TIMELY MANNER. We have not had any incidents but we have been waiting since August of 2022 for the dealer to receive the parts to complete the recall. We have been told that we are on a waiting list and we're actually on the waiting list at 2 different locations. I read online that I should file a complaint if the recall is not completed in a timely manner. We are driving the vehicle with the risks these recalls pose and do not want to have to go through any incident or accidents.
The tailgate on this truck has opened 11 times now while driving down the road. I take it to the dealer and they do nothing about it and say none of their diagnostics show anything. I have researched this problem and for the past consecutive years prior to this year's model, the same issue has been recalled. This last time it happened, it came down while pulling a trailer which bent the tailgate and items fell out of the back of the truck. I took it back to the dealer who stated the same thing and said they would order some parts to replace as they said they have had issues with the (I believe they said right side) bolts or mechanism with precious years but have never contacted me back. Now it continues to open and I have a bent tailgate because of it. Yet no one will do anything about it without me having to pay when it should be warrantied or possibly recalled as obviously the issue in 2020 models is still not corrected. 6/13/2022 was the last time it happened, but it started in January of 2021 and has opened 11 times to date.
Engine compartment hood insulation liner design is deficient and is coming loose from edge closest to windshield. The design of the insulation liner has no trim pins on the back half of the liner and relies on shaped stiffening to keep it up on the hood. Vehicle is under warranty, but the Ram Service department indicated that there's currently no fix identified. They have had numerous complaints. They indicated that even one of there service technicians has the same issue. The reliance on the liner shape stiffening is insufficient and is sagging. This could become a hazard if it drops down on the engine.
