How to u talk with out moving ur top lip lol

I was looking to buy this truck but happened to stumble on a steal of a deal on a Power Wagon and I haven't had any of these problems and I'm in love with my PW. Thanks for the review Hauss!

I live in Edmonton Alberta. My steering gets so hot it is uncomfortable. The seats will roast a turkey. My paint is great. Only been to the dealer once for recalls. Truck is Ram 1500 and coming up on 5 years. No lifter noise but slight rattle with heavy bass ( in the doors )

2014 ram sport 1500 80,000 kms. Problems so far, ambient air temperature sensor, exhaust manifold bolts, steering shaft , water pump. Everything was covered on warranty no questions asked. Only thing is when my steering shaft had a loose into it , I literally had to point out what the problem was because the dealer said everything was normal. When my water pump gave out , they gave me a vehicle for a week while the parts were ordered. I also had a front quarter panel changed on warranty because there were rust bubbles popping through the paint. I think your dealership might be the problem

Tick is from the pass side exhaust manifold gasket

The 'tick" is broken exhaust manifold bolt(s). Just had mine fixed, they're notorious for that. replace all the bolts now before they break and are snapped of inside the head.

Truck has plenty of room for your high heels and purses 👜

604MotoVlogs... thanks for sticking to the darn subject and listing bad things other people should consider! While I really like Ram products, and have done a lot of research on them; the stuff you mentioned I didn't even know about! Thanks again.

I have the 2012 Ram. 55000 miles Hemi tick was exhaust manifold bolts. Total of 7 some on both sides. Out of warranty cost $1030.00 to drill out. Also had to replace AC condenser $1400.00 bucks. All out of warranty.

Little things but still add up. Glad I purchased a silverado. Thanks for your honesty review. Start well everyone

I understood your frustration. Haven't had that problem with mine. Although my 2010 did the lifter tick on start up. I traded it with 70 thousand miles it was still running great. But thanks 4 the info.

The steering wheel heater is thermostat controlled. I have heat cloth seats and it develops hot spots.

I have a 2009 Ram and the only issue I've had and it's a big one with me is the Dealer service on warranty items. Make sure you follow up right after because they've repaired my ECM and blend door and tore up the carpet and isolation. I didn't notice until several months later and of course they denied doing it. However I do still love the truck and plan on keeping it until Ram makes some major changes. Good luck looking forward to your positive video.

Service department is absolutely garbage agree with you there. Funny I pound my ram down logging roads, and I’ve been impressed by how solid the interior is staying.

olny damm thing i hate about my ram 1500 is the radio comes on evertime you turn on the swich.

Good information. Agree with service department comments. Seems to be a staffing issue, as to holding on to knowledgeable techs. I have had no issues with heat/ventilated seats or steering wheel. No rattles, just wind noise near passenger mirror area. No engine tick. Overall, very happy with my 2016 Ram Sport! I would say overall, service issues are always a pain with any brand. Overall Ram experience is terrific for me! Good to hear other perspectives though.👍🏻

Someone needs a pacifier......😫😫

Great video...I bought a 2017 1500 5.7 & at about 2,000 miles noticed the tick also....it dissapeared for many months, & ticked the other day on start up....but happens so rare, I'm not overly concerned...my real issue is the transmission...when coming to full stop, it downshifts awkwardly..almost like a slight fwd thrust, back into 1st gear...going in next wk to have them chk it....only 5,300 miles..very dissapointed

Hi Buddy,OMG I have a 2016 Ram 1500 with the Hemi, bought it new.The last 2 weeks when I start it some real bad tappat noise . It is really bad for about 10 -15 seconds.I have 19.000 miles on it. Also have had it in 4 times because of really loud wind noise above 50 MPH. There can’t fix it.Have you heard of the wind noise on the driver side by the mirror you have to turn radio up real loud to cover the wind noise . When I bought my Ram payed for the 7 year 100;000 mile Bumper to Bumper warranty 0 deduction. Great video. Thanks

I'm in Vancouver also... I've got a 2014 3500 Laramie.. my heated seats and steering wheel work great.. but I definitely agree with crappy dealership customer service... I've given up on them and take my truck to a diesel specialty shop now out in Surrey

Who TF needs a heated steering wheel?

I don't know man, I can name some chevy dealers that suck big time and do not want to diagnose anything until the warranty is up..Great job...Sub!!

I have a 2016 as well. There are some interior shakes and similar problems on mine. I’ve had bad service from dodge and Chevy in the past. Not much experience from ford. Any fixes for that lifter noise mine has done it a couple times only on cold starts

My seats and wheel work great in Idaho winters with my 4 year old truck.

Thanks for the video. 12 dealer visits in 15 months is not reliable. When I owned a Jeep the Chrysler dealers in my area were brutal. Mine developed a problem with the neutral safety switch. When the transmission heated up the vehicle would not start until it cooled off. So in the summer I would have to wait 6-8 hours before I could start it again. Took it to the dealer, they had it for two weeks, couldn't replicate the problem. I don't think I'll ever own a Ram/Chrysler/Jeep product again. Too many issues and really poor service departments. The Rams look nice and they're tempting but I'm staying away.

Instead of a lifter tick I've heard it was the exhaust manifold leak my 2012 doesn't do it, no paint problems thankfully and I've wanted heated/cooled seats/steering wheel only regret

Question - you mention the lifter ticking noise (I honestly don't hear it on my 2017 Ram 1500 SLT)... this leads to a question: what engine do you have? If it's diesel, well, diesels tend to make those noises. A V8 or V6? You may need to get that fixed. As for the dealer? Yup... some of them have P&S departments that suck the goat. However, even way out here in the sticks where live (Oregon Coastal Range), I have a choice of five different dealerships I can pick from... if the one nearest to you sucks, check for another one to visit.

I have a 2015 Sport 4x4 Crew(Brilliant Black), and I have to say, it's some of the best paint I've seen on a truck. It's better than Jeeps, which at least when I was into Jeeps, was amazingly easy to clean up, and durable paint. Maybe a hint of orange peel, but no better than I've seen out of BMW, Audi, and MB. My heaters work great.... Granted, they will only stay on high for so long, which I believe is a regulation that they have to abide by. (I think it's been known to put people to sleep...same as a hot tub)... I have zero squeaks or creaks on the interior of mine.... My previous truck(08 Tundra) was rediculous, turning hard, towing, or just stretching and hitting the dash with your knee, made multiple creaks... And the harmonics in both gas and brake pedals when a Harley or a car with exhaust passed, made you think something was wrong.. And don't get me started on it's paint...LOL... You look at it wrong, and there would be another primer deep scratch!!!! Now, lifter ticks on crank up, I do get those from time to time... Usually happens if I haven't driven it for a couple of days/or week or so.... Mine also has a constant injector tick.... Once hot, it ticks non-stop, and I'm pretty sure it's from a injector/injectors.... It can be heard easily through the grill when standing in front... I have to investigate it more(use a stethoscope/check plugs), but I haven't found any performance issues with it.... AMEN on dealing with FCA and their ways!!!! I'd rather rip my fingernails out with pliers than a trip to the stealership!!!!

Dont like the shifting on ny 16'. Downshift clunks at every stop. 1 comment said its electronic torque converter which unlocks very late in its programming. Is this common for all the 8 speed Borg Warner trans?

I have 13 big horn...my old 06 had bad ball joints kind of soon in 120k mainly due to rotted boots way to early. I noticed all other boots on joints were holding fine. Now i have 4 year old truck with crack holes in ball joint boots already...so yeah that's another thing for me to watch for....BTW i never heard any start ticks on my neither one 06 or 13 hemi engines.

I have a 2012 Ram and have had NO problems with it so far !! I have 123,000 miles on it .

My 2018 1500 sport does the same lifter ticking cold occasionally. Had 10k km or less when it did it first on its second oil change. Read up on the forums that it is "normal" for the Hemis. Didn't bother with the dealer as I'm sure they couldn't "replicate the sound" as I've been told before at dealers. My previous truck is a 2016 Ecodiesel SLT that just wrecked the DEF system at 2 years old and 82k km. No warranty since I was over the bumper to bumper. And lots of stories of engine failures with that motor, although I had no motor troubles just emissions. Anyways I can deal with the occasional tick from the Hemi as long as it doesn't cost me thousands of dollars and/or leaves me stranded. I'm doing 50% oil life max on this Hemi with the 5w20 Semi, hopefully that will keep the lifters happy long term. I got this truck as a demo with 6k km on it and so far I love it. B pillar rattle like my old one too lol. Every brand has certain issues IMO. I've not had good luck with vehicles (2013 F150 ecoboost rod failure) for a while now so keeping my fingers crossed on this one. It's near the last of the cast iron blocks and regular port injection V8s so I'm hoping it will be durable.

what gas are u putting in ur truck?

Totally agree with this video and the service department. I have a 2016 Jeep Patriot (Mopar) that I bought brand new and they refuse to fix anything! Since I bought my Jeep I've had multiple issues with it dingy and the TPS sensor light coming on. Took it in with pictures. They run the code and say there is no code so they won't look at it. Now the TPS sensor light comes on and flashes and goes solid. I took a video of this and also looked up the fix for this. The service department sent me away not once but twice from 2 different service departments. DO NOT buy anything Mopar. I love the looks of their vehicles but this will be my last Mopar purchase.

I had a 2011 jeep wrangler yes youare right about all the things that i hate about the dealerships i had a tick in my jeep and they sayed it was normal intill i traded in then they told me it was not nomal for that tick a ram and thay get me less money for the trade in value

Wanna find out whats wrong try to trade it in to the ram dealership😜

The heated seats are the worst. My steering wheel heat does good. I have the air suspention that sucks in MN. It failed last year and will now add alcohol to the system soon before the temps drop more. Otherwise a great truck.

That's not a lifter noise on start up. It's an exhaust manifold issue.. they all do it. Poor design. Dealer will fix for no charge because they know it's a problem

My steering wheel is too cold lol

May not be lifter tic, broken manifold bolt(s) cause a very similar sound. Replace cast manifold with tube manifold or better yet headers. Increases fuel economy, fixes broken manifold bolt issues, and sounds much better! If you have aluminum heads and cast manifold on whatever you drive, it's just a matter of time till they start to pop bolts. Do yourself a big favor and get headers as soon as you can. Even if new. Unless it's a warranty issue, then make sure the warranty covers fixing the broken bolts. If you got a truck for truck stuff and not a car that looks like a truck I suggest hooker headers, dual exhaust cherry bomb mufflers unless illegal where you live, if so, glass packs, they'll be pop in soon enough. If money ain't a problem go with manga flow! They don't rust out!

I have the same truck, bought it brand new 6 years ago. Mine is a regular club---i have not experienced 1-4 at all.

I was thinking to buy 4door ram I'm hearing to many problems I'm just going to stay with my gm motors Silverado or sierra

Good job Abe.

My ram 1500 is 2016. Only time go in shop oil change. My truck loaded but no heating seat or steering wheel heat. No problem with truck

I have 2017 w all the same issues and worries.

I have a 2016 ram express, I feel it's a decent truck but I have all the same issues you have. Squeaks and rattles, flip down center console shakes uncontrollably and spills coffee everywhere on uneven roads, once in a while on cold start it sounds like the hemi dropped a lifter lol. Paint is thin and chips easily. 8 speed is jerky on cold mornings until it warms up and takes 2 to 3 seconds shifting from reverse to drive. I like the truck but it ain't high quality when it comes to refinement that's for sure.

16 big horn- heated cloth seats, they suck. Heated steering wheel, works fantastic. Paint sucks, chips so bad. Never ever had a vehicle chip so bad. Lifter ticking on cold start sucks but happens with most pushrod v8s

That start up portion where you turn your truck on I got when I first bought mine and it was because the Dealer would put in low grade fuel and it was throwing off the cylinders. After depleting the gas and using higher grade fuel as suggested by the manufacture, it stopped. The Salesman don't know JACK about their own product. They only know how to show people a NICE truck but don't know things like Towing Capacity vs Gross Combined Tow etc. My seat and steering wheel work great in mine. I notice sometimes the steering wheel can get a little TOO hot sometimes. You will see soon that you will have to replace your Backup Camera. I have a 14 but after about the third year, moisture gets into the camera and creates a foggy image. I will also add that Ram will charge 2/3 more in labor than the part. For instance, the backup camera I can get on Amazon for 89 bucks. Ram will charge 159 buck for the camera and 250 bucks in labor for a 30 minute do it yourself job. I also found out Ram has a recall for the Seat Belts that they have yet to notify me about.

the second half of this video, about the poor service, is literally word for word my experience with my ram. had for about 15 months and nothing but problems, dealer always "cant reproduce the issue" and they were no help. i gave up and got a Sierra and have had nothing but good experience and great truck. i am in nova scotia....obviously a corporate problem

My issue is exhaust fumes coming in into cab through the vents when the heat is on and after 3 trips to the dealership the same out come. They can't find the problem.

Just bought one today. This guy wants me to run out and buy a second one.

I hate the damn knob for the transmission. I love the good ole column shifter lever. I never had any issues with my dodges. I also do everything myself. Screw taking em to mechanics or dealer. You pay so much damn money. That plus price for parts can be over 1000$. Doing it myself I only spend a few hundred at most (depending on what I need to do) I also do the work. screw taking it to dealer. You have to make a damn appointment and the dealer is expensive! Even getting parts from them. I’ve done things that the truck has to be took to the dealer for. Fuck spending that 100$ to get key fobs programmed for my 2003 ram… you can do it yourself at home in minutes! Just order a scanner to program them in the system. I just said forget it about it cause I don’t mind unlocking the truck by putting key in the handle. If your a skilled mechanic I recommend this. Do everything yourself lol Dodge 💪🏼💪🏼never had no problems. If you maintain your vehicle, you would be alright. If you have problems… it can be because of how it was made, it can be anything. I’m glad I never had any problems. I love dodges because of their aggressive looks, the powerplants, interiors… older ones rust… ALL older vehicles rust. Dodges rot in rear fenders, GM bumpers rust completely away, FORDS RUST TOO IVE SEEN OLD TACOMAS RUSTED BADLY. Yet people shit on dodge… yeah. I have to say they are number 1 in worst rusting. Especially 1st and second generation rams. 3rd gens nose rust in rear fenders, and rocker panels. My 2003 had that. But since the ole dog was mechanically 💪🏼💪🏼 and the frame was 👌🏼mint, it deserved that rust getting repaired. She looks factory again aside from the dents and other little rust holes I’ll leave alone. Adds character. All vehicles have their flaws. 3rd gen dodge diesel transmissions aren’t great. Some GM transmissions are awful. The 5 speed automatic in my 2003 ram, I’ve stepped on that truck a shit ton she took it. Thing has 260 plus thousand miles. You drive any strong vehicle well and treat it well it’ll last you. Treat her right. Lol.

My 2012 ticks bad on cold starts

Why do you still have this truck?

Have a '15 ram and I don't have any of these problems. As for the dealer problems that's not a ram thing it's just your dealer...

I wax my truck every month and protect the paint. The Ram dealer where I bought mine is good , 20 dollar oil changes life time power train warranty.

As ford guy- ford service is very good and don’t treat you like a dummy- I wanted a ram but what u just said about dodge service department I’m out… all trucks breakdown it’s the service department that keeps customers loyal

Unacceptable!! I once had the dealer service dept. Tell me my complaining was unacceptable!!😎

THE LIFTER TICK IS SO BAD ON THESE TRUCKS!!!!!I love my 2015 1500 to death but for fucks sakes it was really bad, had to get the manifold gasket replaced, it helped a lot but cold starts are unbearably cringy. I still love the damn thing

I use Hoblit Dodge-Jeep in Woodland California. They have always treated me fairly and most of the repairs have been done free , under warranty, we have bought almost a dozen cars, trucks and jeep from them. On the other hand the Chevy dealership in Davis turned me off from Chevy cars and vans with their lies and crappy service. I had been driving Chevy's since 1966 but no more.

I had 3 rams and 1 dakota..all had the tick..all were exhaust manifold bolts.. the 03 ram absolutely sucked. The 98 Dakota was great! The 06 ram was great till I had to replace the rear dif..tons of towing! My current 2012...is slowly working on #2 of my shit list..a/c probs, cpu replacement, and 2 times replacing ex manifold bolts. And our local dealer sux @ss 2!

My number one thing. I hate is: MDS it’s the worst thing ever done to a truck!!!

I have a 2016 Ram sport edition the paint job is poor and the cylinder deactivation should be optional meaning that the driver should have a switch or option to choose when he wants the truck to utilize this feature

Do you think the ram service department is bad Try dealing with Toyota as far as they’re concerned their vehicles are the most reliable and they don’t break I had one was an absolute lemon which I had to trade in with 39,000 miles on it

The lifter tick or timing chain tick is your most serious problem. Did the dealer tell that it was normal, or did a Chrysler engineer tell that it is normal? Record every trip to the dealer and get everything in writing. You'll need these records when the engine fails when it's twelve miles past the warranty. Sounds like you have a crappy dealer.

Th service is terrible I went called and they still have not got back to me it’s been 6 month or longer

Buddy you bought a lemon straight up. Mine is fine. I live in canada and dont need heated anything i drive truck not my grandma. Only real things ive heard are lifters, bolts on manifold and stock tires are garbage. Everything is pretty decent.

yeah you need a Honda Ridgeline or some other Fluff truck

Thank you. I won’t consider a ram for sure

He obviously doesn't take care of his truck. I have the exact same truck absolutely none of these issues. Take care of you shit !!!

Man , who the fuck needs heating steering wheel or seats ? I have ram too and don't want or need any of that junk . Be the MAN and have the TRUCK .

I have to turn my seat heater off after 5 minutes

The complaints should be about engine and drivetrain. His complaints were cosmetic...i'm glad he overpaid for things that are vanity!

You and your Ram truck ( 🐏)look alike.

Why do you buy one if you don't like them

Sounds like your valve lash needs to be checked.

Sounds like you got a lemon

My son had that truck and oil pressure. So low it was crazy those are junk trucks rear end problems too

No offense but could you possibly whine anymore about these things? 😢 You complain about the dealer. Did it maybe occur to possibly go to another dealer? Or maybe to go with Chevy?

Don't forget about those shitty original tires. Worn out at 30.000 miles.

Theres orange peel on my 2018 F150. Robots cant be people. I expect a Benz and up to not have orange peeling

The lifter tic is normal

lifter tick in a hemi is completely normal. every hemi engine does it. the durango, grand cherokee, charger, challenger, 300, all of those have the hemi and all of those hemis tick. as far as the heated seats and steering wheel, those wont work in the summer. interior rattles, its a truck. not a luxury hand built $200K car. they are mass produced on an assembly line so the tolerances are looser which allows for more rattles. it sounds like you have a shitty service department because all the ones i go to are good.

You sound like ur congested

Find a better shop, no point in heated seats or steering wheel problems gone,

Dude why are you yelling?

Sell it.

Toyota Tacoma is the best truck!!

Brand new truck in 80s were steel an motor .slam left side of floor for high beams an open vent ... new trucks piles of shit

Hehehehe, why buy a Dodge Ram in the First place, why not give it away to someone that wants it. It's bad enough people complain about trucks when other brands like Ford Toyota Chevrolet GMC have there flaws and problems.

Just go back to your tundra. You're the type of lady who deserves a cute truck with big tires and terrible fuel efficiency. Keep those pretty hands warm during the winter, when you forget your Michael Kors leather gloves.

It’s a Ram…not a BMW or a Mercedes. Your gripes are nit-picky

Paint quality is shitty.....know people working there....

What a big chungus this guy is hahah.

You should open your mouth more when you’re talking. It helps you articulate the words and you don’t sound mono toned

Cry baby

cry baby
