TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 RAM 2500. THE CONTACT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM BRANDON DODGE ON BROADWAY (5600 S BROADWAY, LITTLETON, CO 80121, (303) 794-4205). WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, TEN MILES AWAY FROM THE DEALER, THE DRIVER NOTICED THROUGH THE REARVIEW MIRROR THAT THE TAILGATE OPENED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CLOSED THE LIFTGATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.
BODY MOUNTS KEEP GOING BAD. STARTED MAKING FAINT NOISES AT 2000 MILES AND COULDNT DIAGNOSE. 8000 MILES WAS DETERMINED IT WAS THE BODY MOUNTS AND HAD TO REPLACE WILL ALL UPDATED MOUNTS. 9000 MILES NOISE AND CLUNKS FROM BODY MOUNTS ARE BACK.
THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE MOVES AROUND SUBSTANTIALLY IN TURBULENT AIR ON THE HIGHWAY. IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS COMING LOOSE, BUT IT ISN'T. FOR INSTANCE FOLLOWING A SEMI, OR IN WINDY CONDITIONS. THE DATE ON THIS FORM IS RANDOM BECAUSE IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.
WHILE INSTALLING SIDE STEPS FOUND AN UNPROTECTED WIRING HARNESS UNDER THE TRUCK, JUST BEHIND THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL. AFTER LOOKING CLOSER AT THE WIRES FOUND A WIRE WITH NICKED INSULATION, CONDUCTOR WAS SHOWING. DIDN'T CAUSE A PROBLEM, YET, HOWEVER HAVING A BUNDLE OF UNPROTECTED WIRING IN THIS LOCATION CREATES THE POTENTIAL TO DISABLE THE VEHICLE IF TIRE KICKED SOMETHING UP FROM ROAD AND SEVERED THE WIRES. I DIDN'T REPORT THIS TO DEALER, I TAPED THE WIRES TO PROTECT THEM FROM FURTHER DAMAGE.
