I encourage people to make safety reports with the NHTSA

[TCP]

Many people here face the same safety-related issues that I face:
- A water leak at the rear window causes safety systems to become inoperative when driving.
- The transmission going into neutral when applying gas.

There is a TSB for the first item, but if you're 1 mile over the extended 150,000 TSB warranty for the leak, RAM's attitude seems to be a polite "F off."
There is no TSB yet for the second item, but for most people, cleaning or replacing the Throttle Body seems to fix it.

If enough people notify the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there will be a recall that applies at any mileage, no TSB warranty extension required, and if you already paid to get it fixed, RAM will reimburse you. RAM will also notify people who aren't aware of their ticking timebombs and help them get it fixed before it kills or hurts someone.

I made the report over the phone and they gave me an Office of Defects Investigation Number. They also gave me an email address to send any documentation to (pictures and video). The person I spoke with was very courteous, helpful, and thorough. I told them that I would be encouraging other people to make these reports, and they confirmed that the more reports they have, the better.

My report will be published on their website within 72 hours with any personal identification removed. Anyone can view the reports on their website, and I believe this is the link: https://www.nhtsa.gov/nhtsa-datasets-and-apis (it downloads a *.txt file, but if you open the file in Excel or LibreOffice Calc, it should be much easier to read).

I would probably recommend calling them to make the report, because then they can ask questions to make sure they get the details they need.
