Vibration that can’t be solved

I custom ordered/ received a 2021 night edition 1500. After several months of the dealer and FCA experimenting with wheel balance/ tire replacement, driveshaft replacement, alignment, calibration of anti vibration modules and full rear axle replacement, the issue only became worse. At 691 miles, FCA purchased the truck back under lemon law. Then they resold it at auction (not as a lemon).

I have a 2021 ram rebel with pretty much everything on it. Sticker mileage was 19/22/24, complete BS and I think they know it. Salesman use the sticker to sell it, Service department, of two dealers, and the corporate, so called customer liaison, immediately said sticker means nothing (it’s a lie, we know it just to sell you a truck, apparently) Or if how How I drive the truck including putting the cruise control on for a couple hours driving on a flat road in the central valley. The best mileage nursing it, coasting to a stop, trying to keep the Econo light on as much as possible, freeway, country, city, is 16 miles per gallon. It’s a V-6 etorque. At this point I’d be happy to get the 19 as my best number. I believe this is what happens when corporations own politicians, they can lie and get away with it. The second thing is, what they call Lane Assist, is not, it’s a poorly done version of lane departure. I turned it off of after trying it for two months I almost felt like it made things less safe it sure didn’t do anything to keep you in your lane. Lane keep is old technology now, I had it on my ‘17 Honda ridgeline it was a great feature especially on long trips. Everything else about the truck I like, I wish it had more options to use the eTouque battery, or monitoring of it you on camp trips, I’d be happy with a better understanding of it you can’t find much information on it. I don’t even know if the electric motor working. I don’t think the service department‘s know enough about the technologies of these trucks to fix anything that’s not replacing the part, if they had to replace the engine I bet they learn how. In the long run the bad gas mileage is going to cost me thousands over the life of the truck.

Coming from a nice 2015 GMC Sierra to this 2021 Ram Limited is like night and day. The Ram drives better, responds better, and has more safety features than I ever thought possible in a truck. It’s a luxury car inside a fortress. Happy with my purchase for sure.

Returned My 1500 TRX The Day After I Bought It

I put in and order for a 2021 TRX in December and just picked it up yesterday. 16 miles new. The car is beautiful, interior amazing and electronics great. The problem was when driving it, the car just shut down! 20 miles new and the car shut down in the middle of the road while driving. The fact that a car can do this is mind boggling. It would not start again until I lifted the hood and closed it. It kept shutting down while attempting to take it back home and as long as I opened the hood and closed it, it started again. It shut down about 15 times in a 5 mile span. If we have been going faster and in traffic, a major accident would have happened. The car is being returned to dealership today. I cannot take the risk of this happening ever again.

Should have bought an F 150

Brand new Ram 1500 Longhorn stranded us in Big Bend Park due to charging system issue. After a 2 1/2 hour tow truck ride to nearest dealership in Ft Stockton, Tx we were informed that the dealership had to work with Chrysler Corporate prolong repair time by at least an extra day! No car rental places in Ft Stockton so we’re stuck. Dealership offered no transportation. Chrysler “customer care” is an absolute joke. 100% run-around and 0% action. I was leery about Chrysler products to begin with. Should have bought another F150. Don’t be seduced by outward appearances. Chrysler products are unreliable and the company only gives lip service to taking care of customer issues. Never again.
