    What Owners Say

    12V battery

    "Truck wouldn't start and the battery was obviously dead. Was able to jump and take the car to have the battery tested adn was told it was OK. The truck kept not starting so I took it back for a recheck. Upon testing the second time, they determined that the battery was indeed faulty, replaced it and I've had no problems since."

    Anonymous A., FL (2017 Ram 1500 SLT 5.7-L V8)

    "My truck is well taken care of with very low miles. Something is draining the battery to force a recent replacement."

    Anonymous A., OR (2017 Ram 1500 Big Horn 5.7-L V8)
    Exterior lights (other than headlights)

    "One of numerous LED turn signals failed in front. Received notice on dash of turn signal failure, even though the turn signal was still quite functional and visible. Had to replace ENTIRE headlamp assembly to correct, because it wouldn't pass a state inspection as it was even though it was still visible and functional. Shouldn't have to replace an entire headlamp assembly because of a "bulb" failure in the turn signal."

    Anonymous, NC (2017 Ram 1500 Laramie 5.7-L V8)
    Headlights

    "One of the headlights would stop working. After troubleshooting the problem we found the light socket, where the headlight plugs into, was bad and replaced it. It now works fine."

    What Owners Say

    Other steering/suspension problem

    "Apparent tire out of balance out the door. After much time taking truck to Goodyear Store (Ram does not warrant tires) and having tires "road force balanced" at premium cost finally discovered one tire had belt defect. Back to Goodyear I reluctantly agreed to buy supposedly better tires discounted to $50 each even though only 12,000 on the originals. The new tires vibrate less but still not right. I see this as a defect of the tires, not the truck."

    Anonymous A., NH (2017 Ram 1500 Tradesman 5.7-L V8)
    Shocks or struts

    "Air suspension issues started two years after I purchased the vehicle. In the winter months when the temperature drops to below freezing the air suspension stops working. The dealer has replaced many components and the problem has never been resolved. The suspension works great the rest of the year."

    Steering linkage (includes rack and pinion)

    "At about 105000 miles, I noticed that intermittently it would feel like the power steering (electronic steering) would go out. Making the steering harder to steer. It just required more muscle. I had purchased an extended warranty for my truck when I purchased it. I bought the truck used from a used car dealer. So when I brought the truck in for service, they detected the issue and replaced the lower half of the steering and it was covered under the extended warranty. Now it drives like new again. I love this vehicle."

    Anonymous A., NY (2017 Ram 1500 Big Horn 5.7-L V8)
    Wheel bearings

    "This past year, I had to replace both the left and right front wheel bearings for my truck. They began making noise about six months apart from one another, but due to my extended warranty, they were replaced without any further problems and the truck continues to drive like new again."

    Anonymous A., TX (2017 Ram 1500 Laramie 5.7-L V8)

    "I started hearing a ticking noise upon starting the engine. My neighbor owns a mechanic shop and I had him listen. He knew exactly what the problem was a and said it was common in my particular engine (turbo). I can't recall the exact repair he made but it corrected the problem and it has not reoccured. About $450 total repair."
