Having some issues with my 2019 Rebel. I have around 2,500 miles on it, and it's already starting to make me regret not buying the new Super Duty. This is my 5th new Ram, and only the first one with any issues.
First: There is a "clunk" in the front end when hitting a notorious PA pothole. (Living in a private development, these are inevitable. And despite the ORP, one should assume a tight suspension.) Through other threads, I've learned to investigate the sway bar links for tightness. I will check on that this afternoon.
Second: I had a TPMS valve stem leaking. Light came on, I took it to a local shop to have it filled with N2, (55psi) as I do not have that in my home garage. The next day, wham! 44psi again. Had the shop break it down, and apparently the o-ring was pinched when it was assembled at the factory. $20 later, no more TMPS light!
Third: On the way to work this morning, my transmission started whining REAL bad. I will be calling the dealer at 9am to discuss this issue.
Forth: The 8.4 U-Connect sometimes doesn't turn on. If I shut the truck off and restart it, it will generally work.
Fifth: I've had to replace the exhaust gasket in the muffler flange, as it started to leak 3 days after I bought the truck.
Anyone else seeing issues similar to these? Or anything else I need to keep an eye on?
