In owners’ own words

Electrical system mileage not reported 4 mo in service
Bought vehicle brand new with roughly 30 miles. Put less than 20 more on it and the service ABS light/service stability control system/4wd system unavailable lights came on the vehicle. Used my scanner, cleared codes and light went off. After about 12 more miles, they all came back on.
Electrical system mileage not reported 4 mo in service
The car was purchased in Jan 16. In Jan 19 the car stopped, with complete no response when trying start. The dashboard was off and looks like no power at all. Try jumping the car and check the battery found that the battery was completely charged. The car was towed to a authorized dealership…and after 5 days no response from the dealer yet.
Electrical system mileage not reported 7 mo in service
The vehicles main 12inch information screen goes blank and will not turn on until about 45 minutes after the vehicle has been running when the information is black no safety features work and the dash reads no key detected in the vehicle while the key is inside
Engine mileage not reported 4 mo in service
I recently purchased my first ram truck on 1/11/24. On the morning of 1/15/24 monday, I was leaving my work and as I tried to turn on my truck, it would not turn due to battery being dead. So, I asked coworker of mine to give me a jump. After 10 minutes or so, trunk was on but it had engine and abs, and trailer brake light on. I only had put on 277 miles at that time. Truck seems to make some random noises when driving. Also, when trying to trying to jump the truck it takes this lound sound in the speaker.
