    From bad to worse

    I feel your frustration, LOTS of bugs in these things. Yesterday I was on the phone twice for a total of about three hours with FCA and Sirius Support just to change the email address associated with my Uconnect account. (Dealer set it up for me and used the wrong address). I agree totally...

    When is FCA dropping SiriusXM from Connected Car capabilities given current disaster?

    I agree the built in NAV is horrible, When I bought the truck I figured it had to be at least as good as my Ford Sync 3 system. NOT. I use google maps. Yesterday I had a fisaco with FCA/Sirius, The dealer setup my Uconnect when I purchased the truck, while I was inside finishing paperwork...

    Soot on exhaust tips

    Thanks guys, make me feel better. My Fords had some buildup but to this extent. Wondering if some better quality tips might help prevent permanent staining from it, clean up better at detail time. I'm OCD about chrome, its supposed to shine, not be black or blue LOL

    Soot on exhaust tips

    Anybody else have excessive soot buildup on their exhaust tips? I have 7000 miles now and my exhaust tips stay black on the bottom. Black soot buildup. I keep it cleaned off when I detail the truck but it's pretty much stained the chrome and don't really shine up like it should anymore. This...

    Fingers Crossed...Brake Squeal Resolved

    Glad to hear they are taking care of you. FCA rep worked to get my back brake parts shipped to the dealer and kept me informed of the progress. Not one time did I hear from the dealer, once the FCA rep told me the parts were delivered to the dealer she said "they will be calling you shortly to...

    Fingers Crossed...Brake Squeal Resolved

    Sounds like you and I have similar experience with our dealers. I'm going to a different dealer to see if I have any better service. My truck has been to the dealer I purchased it from numerous times now, not one trip has been a good experience. Each time ends in leaving with all or most of the...

    Fingers Crossed...Brake Squeal Resolved

    I had the same thing with the rear brakes. Gave them the TSB number, explained to them multiple times it was the rear brakes. They put front brakes on, called me back in twice for 4 hours each time only to end up saying "We don't have the parts for your rear brakes". Then why did you bring...

    Fingers Crossed...Brake Squeal Resolved

    Well, dealer picked my truck up Tuesday to take care of the rear brake issue (4th time they have worked on the rear brakes). Now Thursday and I still don't have my truck back! Meanwhile I'm stuck driving a piece of junk they brought me. In all my years as a Ford owner I NEVER witnessed this...

    Someone else will chime in if they've had the issue you are describing, but my experience has been only after the truck has been sitting a while (Usually colder outside) or after the brakes have been wet and sit a while (Overnight). Turning has no affect on it (Rear brake only issue), just...

    Wish me luck. Dealer supposed to pick my truck up today for rear brake work. My FCA customer care rep said all the required parts are at the dealer. (This is the 4th trip for rear brake noise) I got a list of stuff that's supposed to be taken care of this time, seems like they always "Forget"...

    Dealer just told me they would pick my truck up at 8:30 Tuesday morning 4/30 (Told them I wasn't' taking off work again for this, would make the 4th time). So he says they'll come get it, then asks if I can call them on Monday to remind them they are supposed to get it and work on it. Now...

    2019 Longhorn Laramie Squealing Brakes

    Mine has the rear brake noise as well, been trying to get it fixed since Feb. Been in shop 3 times, took apart and put back together so many time all the lug nuts are mangled and have rust spots. FCA rep has worked and finally got parts to the dealer, she said they will be calling to get this...

    Scared to pull the trigger on 2019 Limited...

    Go for it if you like the truck, they are a joy to drive, hopefully you won't have to use it but that's what warranty is for, anything you buy MAY have issues of some kind. My experience with this being my first RAM is make sure you have a good local dealer, I've found the hard way that you...

    Know what you mean, my truck has the rear brake screech when you back up. Been to the dealer 3 times, still not fixed, been messing with this for going on 4 months now. Goofy dealer actually put front pads/rotors on mine even though I told them I was 100% certain the noise was from the rear and...

    Longhorn Review at Two Weeks & 1100 Miles

    Really like my Longhorn as well, I've had a few minor issues that are being worked out. I agree about the interior, by far my favorite thing about the truck. Never even crossed my mind to get the pano tinted!! Did the windshield and front sides, guess I'll go spend some more money with the...

    Glad to hear no one was hurt, hopefully the body shop will do a stellar job and put your truck back good as new!

    Auto high beams are useless

    Agreed, they flash on/off/on/off around road signs. Only time I think they work well is long stretches of two lane back highways. Irritating the rest of the time. I rarely use them.

    Well another 1/2 day vacation burnt, 3 more hours sitting at the dealer and still no rear brake fix. Tore the truck down again (3rd time) replaced the pads, then said they realized they are supposed to replace the pins. They didn't have them, won't have them until MAY! They specifically said...

    Headed back to dealer today (3rd time) for the rear brakes howling. To date I'm at a day of vacation burnt, and stuck sitting at the dealer in their broom closet waiting room for a total of just over 6 hours because of these brakes, not counting the 2 hour round trip each time. Last time they...
