The contact owns a 2018 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the contact noticed that oil was leaking from underneath the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with a cracked engine filter housing and coolant unit. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign numbers: 18V332000 (electrical system, vehicle speed control) and 19V347000 (latches/locks/linkages) however, the parts to do the recall repairs were unavailable. The dealer central Chrysler Jeep (56 boston-providence turnpike, norwood, MA 02062) was contacted and confirmed that the parts were not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repairs. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 72,000. Parts distribution disconnect.
On February 1, shortly after 9:00 pm central the engine shut off while I was on the interstate. I was in the left hand lane, having just passed as semi a bit earlier. I instinctively tried to start it while it was moving, causing the headlights to go off while I'm doing 75 mph. At that point started to pull over, though I could barely see the concrete divider and had tried to keep the tires on the rumble strip as I slowed down until I could see the barrier better. Once pulled over, I got it in park, started it, and was able to get home with no issue. When the engine shut off the dash lit up then went out like it would when you turn the ignition off. It's a miracle we did not hit the divider or the semi behind us didn't hit us.

Gas gauge may indicate empty to full regardless of the amount of actual gas in tank. Mileage too empty as displayed on dash panel readout reads up too twice actual distance one can drive truck" if trip odometer and mph displayed there in are displayed correctly" using trip odometer miles driven and dash display miles to empty divided by average mpg displayed equal gas tank size of $31.13 gallons. When maximum size tank provided by fca is 26 gallon. Since none of the gauges/readouts seem to be reliable, one could pull into traffic or an intersection and not have any gasoline in the fuel tank. There by stalling out and causing an accident. Truck currently undergoing 6th in dealership repair(two separate dealers){2nd time with fca star assistances}, no solutionto faulty readouts found! dealer work reports can be sent via usps if needed?

I had problems when you go to fill up the tank of gasoline. Also problems with the power windows. Problems with the radio and bluetooth when your are driving.
My vehicle is out of service due to a defect in the 8.4 uconnect radio. The radio (head unit) has misfunctioned and drains the battery until dead. An attempt to flash the head unit by the dealer was attempted but failed. This was done on June 17th. The dealer then put an order in for a new radio to fca. It has now been 2 weeks and 2 days since the vehicle was brought in for service. The vehicle is inoperable with no eta given by fca for the new radio. This problem can leave owners of Ram 1500 trucks stranded with wifi, assist and sos functions unavailable in a truck that has no power. Fca does not have a recall in place and the dealer has indicated they have had to tow vehicles in. This is a known problem on past and present models ' a recall should be issued to make owners aware of this problem as the parts are not readily available. It is unknown when I will have an operational vehicle.

I entered my vehicle 2018ram1500 this morning after it had being stored inside my garage overnight. I sat down, pressed the brake and was about to start it when I noticed the shifter dial was on 'R' and began beeping continuously. I used the ignition button to switch from 'off' "acc" to 'start' and back/forth and pressing on the brake until I was able to shift the transmission to 'P'. once in 'P' I pressed the brake and then started the truck. When I proceeded to move on reverse out of my garage, it began beeping continuously and flashing two messages on the display, "service shifter" followed by "service transmission shut off engine to engage park" then my radio blackout. I could still hear music and was able to control it but there was no display.
