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

The only issues I had were Headliner clips rattling, HK subwoofer vibrating against cab wall, and rear window heating element wires vibrating inside the channel on the rear window. All noises could be/were directly attributed to the stereo system. I resolved the headliner clips by removing each of them, padding the back of the clips, and reinstalling. I also padded behind the subwoofer mounting points to eliminate the plastic on metal vibration. Lastly, I ran a bead of black RTV along side the wire in the rear window channel, no more vibrations. The stereo rocks, truck runs great, 3100 miles.

I have had this Laramie quad cab for 2 weeks. So far everything works as it should. The cabin is so quiet I am now noticing a slight gear whine consistently at 50-55 MPH while the engine is under load. It sounds like the noise is coming from the rear differential. This truck has 3.92 gears with an open differential. Not a big deal, but the gears should be silent when set up correctly.
I am averaging 19 MPG so far and expect a slight improvement as the drivetrain breaks in. Other than the gear noise that is at lease a pleasant sound and not noticeable when using the radio, this RAM has exceeded my expectations.

Build date 9/2018

3 weeks old, but truck was sitting on the lot for a while and had some miles from the dealer manager driving it a bit. Following issues: Uconnect completely inoperable until yesterday, Remote start does not work via the fob or uconnnect app. Front end clunk, uneven upper glove box fitment, brake howl when reversing.

All issues are being taken care of at the moment as the truck is in service. They are being very accommodating, but it's a bit disappointing that the truck was being driven and they didn't notice these issues and address them before it was sold to me.

I have water leaking in soaking my back carpet everytime it rains on my 2019 RAM Limited. I have had my truck to the dealer 2 times so far and they don't seem to even try to figure out the issue of where the water is coming from. The first time they said it was a clogged sunroof drain tube and they water tested after repairing. First rain after I got it back and same problem. Second time I took it in they said it was likely the brake light above the rear window and they said they inspected the seal, not sure what good that's going to do and then they said the tested under water for 2 hours. Well that can't be true because when I went back to pick it up it had just rained so decided to check the back carpet before leaving the dealer and guess what, it was wet! So I went right back into the service department and asked if they did anything at all! I would have left if with them but it was last Friday and I needed my truck over the weekend. They told me it tested fine when they did the water test and acted surprised that it was wet after it rained. So I decided I would try and trouble shoot the issue myself with a hose to at least find where the water seems to be coming in at since the dealer can't even figure that out. Keep in mind this is supposed to be the best Ram dealer in KC....not! Well anyway my water testing today showed that the water was leaking in the cab when I sprayed water on the back window, lower right corner, the water would then leak down the back right corner inside the cab and run along the back of the cab to the drivers side and down into the storage area under the seat soaking the carpet on the drivers side. So I am heading back to the dealer tomorrow to show them them what I have found hoping this is enough info for them to figure it out. It appears to be an issue with the back window seal, there is also sunroof drain tubes that come out about half way down the back of the cab between the cab on the bed on both sides. These drain tubes have a rubber grommet that fits in a hole in the back of the cab. The rubber grommet on the right side appeared to be pushed back in the hole where it could allow water into the cab. I got under the truck so I could reach up and pull it back out so it would fit in the drain tube hole in the back of the cab properly. I was hoping this would resolve the issue since water that was sprayed on the back window would run down the back of the cab around this grommet but it did not. So back to the dealer tomorrow with this new info to see if they can figure it out this time. If not I will be getting a lawyer involved to look into my lemon law options. I really love everything about this truck and hate that I have to deal with an issue of water leaking in the cab after paying $65k for a truck! This is my 6th RAM in a row and this is the worst issue I have ever had.

Were you able to figure out what was wrong? I’m having the same issue and it’s leading too a lot of condensation on the interior side of the windows.

Drove a new Laramie home while I wait for my truck to be delivered to my doorstep. Anyways, build date was Jan 15th 2019. I've put over 250 miles in a week and 0 issues thus far. Love that truck to death.

I hope my truck that is being delivered is going to be pretty new. I got a call from the dealer and the vehicle they were doing an exchange with didn't mention it was a demo vehicle and had close to 5K miles already on it...

So looking for alternate ones now.... told me to drive the current truck like it's mine lol.

I knew answering this poll would be a jinx. I selected happy camper then go out to lunch in my truck and the backup screen is all static lines. I'll give it a day to see if it goes away before taking her in.

 

[Tommy R]

Not exactly a "problem" with mine, but I'm not a happy camper so I didn't select anything in the poll. I'm extremely disappointed in the fuel economy of my Rebel. I didn't expect the EPA numbers. I didn't expect much. But what I have seen is abysmal and I think it's bad enough that Ram needs to take notice. The Jeep in my avatar is more economical on the hwy (factoring in 87 vs 89 octane costs).

Longhorn is at the dealership. 200 miles the check engine light came on for an emissions issue. Non e-torque. Today is day 2. Going to perform a smoke test.

 

[klail]

Recently had an issue where the sunroof drain grommets were not correctly installed. There are separate threads on this issue. If you have a panoramic sunroof, check the drain grommets between the bed and cab. Chances are they are incorrectly installed which allows water to enter the truck cab behind the rear seat.

Switched from 2014 ram sport 5.7 hemi with 4” lift kit , 35” tires never had issues in five years to a 2019 ram “sport” canadian 5.7 hemi and have zero confidence in new truck.
Fuel mileage has been a disaster, im on my 6th fuel tank and only have 1500kms on it ... dealership says “its break-in period”
Went in for a noise thats like metal to metal banging on left front driver side. They said the strut was bad. Got that changed , still does same metal to metal knocking .
Now gonna bring my truck to a 3rd party garage to have everything checked out before returning to the dealership.
Really dissapointed since the last gen truck had zero issues in 5 years. Will see what comes out of the next inspection by trusted mechanics.

 

[Boostfeen]

Well I’m sorry to report, but now at 8900 miles, my truck has developed the dreaded front end clunk, as well as a water leak around the drivers kick panel. Found wet carpet this morning after a hard rain last night in SoCal.....super bummed to say the least. I’ll be dropping it off at the dealer this week to see what the prognosis is.

Did they ever find out what your front end klunk was? Im havig same issue

 

[Rocketman]

The clunk seems to have been corrected by re-torquing a series of bolts associated with various front end components to factory specs. I have not heard or felt the clunk since the work was performed. I wish I had more information for you. Also, TSB #23-047-18 was not implemented in my situation.

Like anyone would be, I was nervous switching to a new platform. I did have a few interior rattles which I resolved on my own during the first week of ownership. Otherwise, 5,200 miles of driving pleasure. Truck has had zero of the issues frequently reported on this site. It’s super quiet, trans is beyond smooth and the interior is the best on the market. To those with issues...hope they get resolved satisfactorily. To those looking to buy, I’d say you can do so with confidence based on my experience. Good luck to all.

And my fuel mileage is 16 combined. Was rough when new, but definitely way better now.

Just got a Ram Big Horn 1500 E-torque V6 on Saturday. Yesterday on my way home from work my front passenger turn signal quit working. Today on my way to work I get Service Start/Stop and Service Stability Control warnings. I traded in my old truck because it was become unreliable. I didn't expect to fall right into these issues with a brand new truck that doesn't have 100 miles yet. Calling dealership today!

 

[KLodge74]

I,ve had 2 very minor issue but they only happened the one time and have not happened again. First was the trans switched out of drive at a stop. the other was the radio just shut off and wouldnt turn back on till i turned off the truck and turned it back on again.

 

[ChadT]

Closing in on 3000 miles.
I had sudden random braking while backing up, but I think that may have been road related dirt on a sensor. At least one of the times.

Thus far no real problems!

I had the same issue with mine. The dealer replaced a sensor and no problems sense.
