2013 Ram 2500 Other Problems

Your transmission's shift solenoid may be malfunctioning, which controls when your truck changes gears. You might experience rough shifting, delayed gear changes, or your transmission going into limp mode. The repair will likely involve diagnosing the solenoid with a scan tool and either cleaning, repairing, or replacing the faulty solenoid.

Your check engine light turns on when you start the truck. You had it diagnosed and found it's related to the DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) system. Even though you had a DEF recall repair done a couple years ago, the same problem is causing the light to come back on now. The fix will likely involve inspecting and possibly replacing DEF system components or sensors.

Your door locks are acting up—they're locking and unlocking on their own without you touching anything, and sometimes they won't lock at all even when you press the fob button or the interior lock button. You have to repeatedly hit the buttons before the doors finally lock. This has happened while driving straight down the road and also when you're just trying to lock or unlock the truck.

I WAS DRIVING MY GMC ACADIA WHEN IT STARTED TO SMOKE SO I PULLED OVER AND IT WAS ON FIRE. THE WHOLE CAR BURNT.

MY RAM 2500 LARAMIE DEVELOPED A HEATING ISSUE. I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WITH NO FIX. I HAVE REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT, HEATER CORE, AND THE BLEND MOTORS. AFTER ALL OF THAT, THE HEATER IN MY TRUCK STILL DOESN'T WORK. MY ENGINE WILL HEAT UP TO 190 DEGREES AND THE HEAT JUST DOESN'T WORK. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, CITY STREETS, OR ANYWHERE ELSE. THE HEAT DOESN'T WORK. THIS PROBLEM STARTED AROUND APRIL 2019.

THE ELECTRONIC DASH IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH SHOWS WHAT GEAR SUCH AS DRIVE OR REVERSE OR PARK AND WEATHER OR NOT YOU ARE IN 4 X 4 MODE GOES ON AND OFF BY ITSELF AND NOW HAS STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. THIS THEN LEAVES YOU NOT KNOWING WHAT GEAR YOU HAVE PLACE THE VEHICLE WHICH CAN CAUSE YOU TO CAUSE AN ACIDENT OR INJURE OR KILL SOMEONE. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2014 MODELS BUT NOT THE 2013 MODELS WITH THE SAME DISPLAY. THIS NOW IS A PERMANENT PROBLEM AND MAKING THIS VEHICLE EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS A WORK VEHICLE AND HAS MANY DIFFERENT DRIVERS. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT / BAD ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

VOLUME ON RADIO DOESN'T WORK WHICH MEAN THE HANDS FREE VOLUME DOESN'T WORK EITHER. ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS THE INTERUPTION OF THE VOLUME NOT WORKING HAS CAUSED ME TO BE DISTRACTED WHILE DRIVING.

AFTER BEING PUT IN PARK, VEHICLE ROLLED AWAY CAUSING NO PROPERTY DAMAGE, JUST BODILY INJURY

REAR AXLE TUBE SEALS FAIL PREMATURELY, RENDERING BRAKES ON AFFECTED SIDE(S) INEFFECTIVE DUE TO LUBRICATION SATURATION OF BRAKE DISC AND PADS. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE (PREMATURE) FAILURES OF THESE SEALS ON LATE MODEL RAM TRUCKS, SOME AS EARLY AS 12000 MILES.

VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT NEW. AFTER HAVING A NEW RADIO BUT IN MY TRUCK I NOTICE WHITE SPOTS ON THE SCREEN AND THE RADIO WAS GOING ON AND OFF AND THE SCREEN WOULD GO BLANK. THE SAFTEY BACK UP CAMERA WOULDN'T WORK. AGAIN I WOULD TRY TO TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND ON TO RESET THE RADIO BUT IT DIDN'T WORK. I TOOK IT BACK TO NAPLETON AND AGAIN THEY REPLACED THE RADIO AGAIN.

VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT NEW THE RADIO SCREEN WENT BLANK BUT THE RADIO WAS STILL ON. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE RADIO SCREEN WOULD GO ON AND OFF AND THE COMPASS DIDN'T WORK. I WAS TOLD IT MIGHT BE THE UCONNECT.. THE SAFTEY CAMERA BACK UP WOULDN'T WORK . I TRIED TO TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND ON TO RESET THE RADIO BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK. I TOOK THE TRUCK IN TO NAPLETON AND THEY REPLACED THE RADIO WITH A NEW ONE.

VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT NEW EVER SCENTS THEN I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 4 RADIOS AND COMPASS IN MY TRUCK.. THE SCREEN WOULD GO BLANK BUT THE RADIO WOULD STILL BE ON BUT YOU COULDN'T TURN IT OFF . I 'VE BEEN TOLD IT WAS THE UCONNECT ETC .THE SAFETY OF THE BACK UP CAMERA DOESN'T WORK. I TRIED TO TURN THE TRUCK OF TO RESET BUT THAT HAS NEVER WORKED THEY KEEP GETTING THE RADIOS FROM THE SAME VENDOR. I RECOMMENDED THAT THEY USE A DIFFERENT SUPPLIER . CHRYSLER HASN'T BUT WHAT DO I KNOW.

ON MAY 26, 2015 AND BEFORE THIS DATE AND AFTER THIS DATE THE MOLDING IN THE DOORS BOTH FRONT AND BACK DOORS WOULD FALL DOWN OR COME APART FROM THE SIDES AND WHEN YOU GET OUT OF THE TRUCK OR OPEN THE DOORS TO GET IN THE TRUCK TO GO SOME WHERE YOU WOULD HAVE TO TRY TO REALIGN IT TO GET IT BACK ON. YOU WOULD DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD AND HEAR WIND COMING THREW AND HOWLING IN THE CRACKS.

ON 11/05/2014 I WAS DRIVING AND TURNED ON THE HEATER TO THE TRUCK AND STARTED TO SMELL A STRONG ODOR OF DIESEL FUEL . I LOOKED AT THE FUEL GAUGE AND SAW I HAD FUEL SO I PULLED OVER AND STOPPED. I LOOKED EVERY WHERE ON THE TRUCK AND ON THE GROUND I COULDN'T FIND ANY THING BUT YOU COULD SMELL IT REAL BAD. THE NEXT DAY ON 11/06/2015 I CALLED THE CHRYSLER 800 NUMBER 800-853-1403 MY SELF AND SPOKE TO XXXX I EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPED AND ASKED ARE YOU HAVING ANY PROBLEMS LIKE THAT . HE SAID "HOLD ON AND SAID HE NEVER HEARD OF THAT AND THEIR WHERE NO RECALLS CONCERNING THAT" NOTE: WHILE WE WERE ON THE PHONE I WAS ALSO THE INTERNET AND FOUND A RECALL CONCERNING THE DIESEL FUEL HEATER HE SAID HE COULDN'T FIND ANY THING. I ASKED IS IT SAFE TO DRIVE HE SAID YES. NOTE IT WASN'T UNTIL TODAY I GOT ON YOUR SITE AND FOUND RECALL CONCERNING THIS MATTER AT THIS TIME IT HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. NOTE BECAUSE OF THE NEWS OF THE RECALLS THAT JUST CAME OUT YESTERDAY ETC ALSO MY OTHER SUBMISSION TO THE NHTSA TODAY ODI # 10744472 .IT IS MY HUMBLE OPINION THAT DODGE RAM 2013 MODELS SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED IN YOUR ACTION AGAINST CHRYSLER.
