Stereo not working - flashes Ram logo and xm logo, then tries to update. Nothing happens and no controls work. Dealer wants 1800. To replace. Drivers side lumbar not working, dealer said seat back needs replacing. Hard to believe these need to be done on a 3 yr old vehicle with 44K miles on it. Neither are safety items, however many are having the same issue with the radios in these vehicles.
I have multiple issues but the scariest is after setting the emergency brakes and putting my 2015 Ram 1500 in park my truck will roll up to 4 feet. This happens almost every time I put it in park. Every time I park it I worry that it will roll and hit a person or another vehicle.

I bought my 2015 Ram 1500 on November 27, 2017. The truck looked as though it had been very well maintained and taken care of. The first or second week in December a check engine light came on as I was pulling in my neighborhood. It turned out to be a fuel pump sensor which the dealership replaced. Now after a month and a half later, another check engine light has came on while parking at a restaurant. 3 codes have shown up for this cel. They are P26ab, P26A7, and P2681. These codes have something to do with the engine coolant bypass valve control. After only an hour of sitting in my driveway the following day there was a huge rainbow colored leak on the asphalt and fluid settling and dripping from the bottom of the transmission. I have taken very good care of this truck since I purchased it. It is just as clean as the day I took it off the lot. I am worried that there is something seriously wrong with this truck now and that the dealership will try and take advantage of me and the fact that the warranty was only for 30 days because when I purchased it the vehicle was used and had 72000 miles on it. This is my first Dodge Ram truck I have ever owned and so far I am very disappointed in the reliability. I will be taking it to the dealership one day this week when I can get off of work. Hopefully they don't try to "pull one over" on me. Attached is the leak in my driveway after an hour of being parked.
Vehicle stalls while driving it. Needs new tipm according to service center. They won't replace it under warranty because they say we modified it by wrapping a piece of heavy duty wire around the bolt for power in the tipm. Service people stated twice that if we removed the wire, it would put the truck back to factory condition and it would be fixed under the warranty. It has been taken to the service center twice and they still refuse to fix the truck under warranty. The wire is a temporary solution to keep the truck running and has come loose on occasion while driving. This is a very dangerous defect that we don't feel we should have to pay for.
I put my truck in park on the electronic transmission control with engine running walked away about 20 yards when the truck started rolling I tried to run after it but only got myself hurt and the truck took out a mailbox and fence.these electronic transmission shifters are not to be trusted. Im now afraid of it its not to be trusted I always make sure the emergency brake is on.I was lucky when it rolled across the road it did not hit another car
One day last week I woke up and my left rear steering wheel control button stopped functioning. (turns the radio station tuning down) also the high mounted reverse lights do not work when in reverse. I also had a blown high mounted rear brake light bulb out which was replaced. Horn works no check engine light. I have not taken it to do to diagnostic cost.
2015 Dodge Ram 1500. Consumer writes in regards to safety recall appointment. The consumer stated the dealer made it difficult to schedule an recall repair appointment. The consumer scheduled an appointment with a different dealer. Updated 09/21/2017
My Ram truck was parked in my driveway. I went out and started my truck, went back inside the house to gather my things approximately 2-3 minutes. When I came back out to my driveway my truck had started to roll down the driveway and ended up crashing into my neighbors fence. The truck was in park when started and somehow came out of gear or had a computer failure on the rotary shift knob. The dial indicator was still in park when I entered the vehicle after the roll away.
Has stalled while driving 2 times in the last week. The first time the radio and dash cluster stopped working then the truck engine shut off doing 80 down the highway. The second time it was just the engine that shut off doing 60 mph on a 2 lane road
