How’s your 2019 Ram running? Take our poll!

My 2019 Laramie is turning into an electronic nightmare. I am having the following problems: and I only have 900 miles on it:

1. The overhead reading lights do not work.
2. My heated/cooled seats and wheel never turn on upon start. I have to reset the automatic setting daily using the procedure set forth in the Owner's Manual and then they work for a day and have to be reset the next day.
3. When I push the ignition button to turn the truck off it goes to ACC and not off. I have to restart the truck and then shut if off again.
4. My headlights when they are in the "auto" mode will occasionally not turn on. I have turn the switch to off and turn them on again. Sometimes the I get a message to shut my lights off so I have to turn the switch off and then to "auto" again.
5. My doors will occasionally require a couple of tugs on the handle to unlock. Even had to resort to the key fob to open it one time.
6. My doors will not lock if I touch the button on the switch, so I have to resort to the key fob in my pocket to lock it.
7. I had the radio revert back to prior settings on the presets a few days after I had changed the settings.
8. My remote start on the key fob does not work.

Of course the dealership cannot duplicate some of them. I had to show dealership personel a couple of them and they promised to get back to me with fixes. Never heard back and now it is back at the dealership again.

This is my first Ram and at this time I am a bit concerned about this one.

(2nd note on this board) 1200 miles in on July build - the bluetooth popping dropouts have stopped since the last OTA update a week or so ago. Since it started getting cold in the past two weeks, the truck has started whining while backing down my driveway as the brakes squeak and squeal. When I put it in Drive it all goes away until the next morning- It doesnt matter how warmed up the truck is... The memory on the heated steering wheel and seats on startup is inconsistent. Sometimes on, sometimes not. The on/off button of the truck seems to change the satellite station every once in awhile - bonus feature? Everything else has been great although the etorque is only managing 14.2mpg

Still a baby. Just crossed 500 miles. Nothing of a glitch so far and frankly the truck is exceeding my expectations. I came from a '16 F150. At this same point, my door latches had frozen multiple times (this never stopped btw even after TSBs and Recalls and remains a problem up through the 2018 Fords). My Sync basically would not turn on some days, freeze entirely or just turn off randomly. My Wiper fluid had seized - another TSB fix. I was at the dealer 3x. That was not a new model year.

I am so shell-shocked by the problems i had with that F150 (beyond above - IWE failures, 2 pano sunroof replacements etc all within 18 months), that I am so doubtful Ram will be any different and just waiting/listening for something to go wrong - which I hate. Fingers crossed and burning the incense.

I have 2300+ on mine. I had the droning noise when cruising on the highway so I unplugged the ANC mics. I hear a clunk underneath the front when making sharp right at parking lot speed. Nav keeps reverting to 400' scale which is annoying. all else good

My latest problem....a vibration upon hard acceleration, seems that nobody has that one yet. Dealer replaced the driveshafts with no fix, they say next is the torque converter or diff.

Also, do the electrical problems EVER end? As soon as I get one fixed along comes another. Just so frustrated at this point, need to vent lol.

I have had one small issue about a month ago. My digital cluster between the gages was intermittently not working. The dealer diagnosed and replaced it. Haven't had an issue since. I am very in tune to rattles and squeaks, there are none, even after they had the dash apart. I have almost 1300 miles and driving this truck is a joy! I actually have nothing bad to say about it at all. Good body gaps/paint, electronics all work, pano roof is awesome. I figured most people post about the bad, this is a good truck and I wanted to post some of the good.

Having some serious "bug" issues with the infotainment touch screen (8"). CarPlay Maps, radio reception, volume, etc. Scheduled to bring it in on the 18th. Anyone else having issues?

Just took mine on a 1500 mile run. Still having some electronic issues. Got 18 MPG highway which is about what I expected. A new issue popped up on mine and that is the front defroster had zero airflow. Sat for 15 minutes to no avail.
Got the windows cleared off and then while driving down the road the windows continued to steam up. Shut it off and turned it back on and had then had airflow to the front window.

Waiting to hear back from my unresponsive dealer on a few issues since delivery 10 days ago. Not the end of the world, but annoying things.

My limited is 3 weeks old and 1,000 miles. Loving every bit of this truck No issues at all. still a lot to learn on the uconnect though.

 

[iceorphen]

Took it in with list of issues:

Clunk sound
Misaligned door
Headlight / turn signal out
Chipped Handle
Dash damaged/installed wrong
HK system low vol
Trim pieces not installed right (ext window)

They did a ton of firmware updates to pretty much everything. AMP update is amazing, sounds like it should. Whatever changes were made to the active cruise control are good too.

They initially retorqued the mount bolts but I told them there's a TSB to fix it so they ordered those parts. Ordered new headlight, trim pieces.

My only real remaining issue is the dashboard bulging/piece over steering wheel lifting up. They tried telling me its normal and I shut that **** down. Will revisit the issue again when I drop it off for installs

Evap check engine light for the second time. In for repair once already

After going to the dealer & getting software updates, everything seems to be working fine. (fingers crossed) I haven't had a defrost issue, but like you 18 mpg is about right with my 3.92 rear end.

Can't beat the ride and mechanics, but next day after delivery noticed my fender flares were different variance than truck. I know there can be a shade or 2 difference, I'm a painter, but this is like 5 shades off and the metallics went way crazy on them compared to metallics in body. Plan on getting this resolved soon. Saw one in the same dealership they had to have bed repainted, said it was wrong color. Only other thing my gauge cluster theme keeps resetting to sport default one. I hear there's a software update coming for that. Other than that...875 miles in and this is the best truck I've ever owned

 

[slimchance]

over 1,000 miles on my truck and everything is running great .. 18 - 19 mpg overall and NO reason to return to dealer .. best truck i ever owned

 

[Kamikaze6780]

So far everything seems to be running fine. There are minor imperfections that I have noticed, such as the top glove box seems to have more light bleeding out from the top right side and thins out towards the left side. The bottom of the top glove box has a bigger gap on the left side while getting tighter on the right side.

The rpm and speedometer have weaker lighting on the beginning and the end while the center numbers are fully lite. That's about it for my truck. Very minor imperfections.

November 2018 Built, 8.4 UConnect, the truck has two weeks and 1500 miles now, the Bluetooth keeps loosing sound while playing music, and pausing, navigation sometimes don't know where it is. I believe it needs a firmware update, I will check with the dealer today.

Coming from a BMW, it is good not to worry about road imperfections anymore

Not too happy about the MPG, getting 15MPG on premium gas.

 

[Esworld05]

I don't have my build date as the truck is at the dealer, but I got service air suspension and lost power steering shortly after. Took it in today hopefully it gets resolved. 2019 Limited 500 miles.
