    What's the No. 1 thing that disappointed you the most about your truck ?

    I've had my Limited for a year now. 8700 miles. My biggest issue is the autonomous rear braking. I have issues with the braking going off when I back out of a driveway with an average slope down to a level street. Does not happen on my driveway, but many others. I finally took the truck to my...

    Automatic Braking while Backing up?

    I've had my 2019 Limited for about a year now. The rear automatic braking has been enabled the entire time. Many of the driveways in my town are angled down to the street and many of them cause the alert system to beep and then quick stop! Usually startles the people who are riding with me...

    Hot Steering Wheel

    I find mine is also uncomfortably hot in certain areas, yet almost without heat in other areas. Almost as if the heating element is not uniformly applied. That is how i would explain mine.

    Air Suspension

    They diagnosed problem on a friday as an issue they could not immediately fix, so i left it with them and took loner jeep. They had to order pump and parts for the 2 recalls. When i picked up the truck, all 3 repairs were done. Not the best scenario, but since they provided a loner vehicle and i...

    Low speed shifting

    You may want to post how many miles you have on your vehicle. There is a breakin period for the trans to learn your driving style, but even when new, mine was not that jerky.

    Air Suspension

    So far, with only one AS failure (pump); I would get it again. If the failure reoccurs, I would reconsider and may not go FCA when I trade. Seems like this is not a new issue to the 2019 models and I would consider this bad engineering if it happens again.

    Air Suspension

    My dealer gave me free use of a 2015 Grande Cherokee for the 9 days i was without my truck. They replaced the pump and all seems to work now. They said fca wanted the pump back to see what failed. So far, 200 miles later and all is working.

    Air Suspension

    3 days ago.... Dash displays 'Service Air Suspension Immediately' for about 10 seconds and go out. Comes back approximately every 15 minutes of driving, then goes out again. After second day (Fri 3/15) I take to the dealer and asked them to check into it. Ride was getting very bouncy...

    New truck, Chrysler holding it hostage.

    Many of the motorized systems use controllers that are calibrated to learn the 'end stops'. HVAC flaps, sun roofs, seats and windows are a few examples. The hardware must be designed to run and store the calibration. Lets hope FCA has this calibration designed in and maybe is just needing a...

    RamBox (only) Tonneau

    It would be nice to see someone come up with some type of 'seal' for the rambox/tailgate gaps that can keep rain and dust out without impacting the tailgate remote open. I have the Mopar cover dealer installed. Seems tight on ramboxes, but did not include any type of gap seal for the tailgate to...

    Top Speed on WOT

    Max speed in some cases is set at the rated mph of the tires. May be other cases as well. Reflash is one way to change this.

    RamBox (only) Tonneau

    Looks a lot like the Mopar I bought with my truck. Only issue I see is comparing the 2018 rambox with 2019 rambox, the 2019 has a gap that is twice as wide between tailgate top and rambox.

    eTorque Ownership

    This is normal. Both my Ram and Ford do this when certain parameters require it.
