There are 3 owner-reported speed control & cruise complaints for the 2016 Ram 3500in NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
The speed control switch operates intermittently. Sometimes it won’t turn on. Sometimes it won’t turn off. I am afraid it may cause me to have and accident.
The cruise control switch is very intermittent. It can be difficult to get it to engage. Getting the cruise control to release with the brake or switch is also intermittent. I am very worried that it will cause a crash.
VEHICLE FAILS TO MOVE WHEN YOU DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. FROM A DEAD STOP TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC IT DOESN'T MOVE AT ALL FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 TO 10 SECONDS. IT IS WORSE WHEN TOWING A LOAD. IT IS ALSO SLOW TO RESPOND WHEN DRIVING AT SPEED. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!!!!
Complaints are unverified consumer reports submitted to NHTSA. A high complaint count may reflect vehicle popularity, not defect severity. Data sourced from NHTSA public records.
