I have a new 2021 Ram 1500 Limited. We just got through with a 4500 mile road trip; lots of driving but the truck wasn't abused by any means. A few days after getting back, I started to notice an intermittent pop or clicking sound coming from underneath (front side), but where is a mystery. It generally happens at low speeds, sometimes going over bumps but sometimes not. Sometimes it just occurs our of the blue. Sometimes it seems to come from under the steering wheel. It generally does not occur at highway speeds. Took it to dealer, who's had the truck since Monday, so for 4 days. They also hear the sound but are stumped as well. The service tech said they believe something is loose or has malfunctioned, but everything they've tried to do to fix it has not worked. The problem, the tech said, is that these sounds are hard to pin down, and it doesn't happen (obviously) when it's in the service bay. So they have to tighten this, adjust that, and then drive it to see if the problem disappears. Well, it hasn't. And it appears I'm getting nowhere with them.
I love this truck, the way it looks and drives, but this is driving me nuts. I was slightly concerned about RAM reliability issues before I bought; am now wondering if I should have thought about that more carefully. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a problem RAM's have? Possibly related to the air suspension? Any help would be appreciated.
