I am filing this complaint regarding my 2024 Ram 1500 and unresolved defects that I reported while the vehicle was still covered by the bumper-to-bumper warranty. My primary concern is the steering and handling. I reported multiple times that the steering wheel is crooked, the truck pulls to the left, and the vehicle does not drive or track correctly. These complaints began before the bumper-to-bumper warranty expired. I was told that the vehicle needed an alignment and four new tires. I followed those recommendations and paid for both, but the problem never went away. The issue has now become a serious safety concern. At highway speeds, the front end wobbles and shakes significantly. I am concerned about the safety and stability of the vehicle and believe the steering, suspension, or other front-end components need to be properly inspected and diagnosed. Stellantis and the dealership now appear to be relying on the fact that the bumper-to-bumper warranty has expired, even though I began reporting and attempting to repair this same problem while the warranty was still active. The truck has also had issues with the sunroof/headliner, Uconnect system, and driver-side window button, but my main concern is the unresolved steering and front-end problem. I am requesting that Stellantis fully diagnose and repair this previously reported defect at no cost to me and provide an appropriate remedy if the vehicle cannot be safely and permanently repaired.

The airbag system failed to deploy during a front-end collision. Despite significant damage to the front of the vehicle, none of the airbags activated. Yes, the vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The driver (my husband) hit his head on the steering wheel due to the airbags not deploying, which put his safety at serious risk. The lack of airbag deployment increased the chances of injury during the impact. The problem has not yet bee confirmed by a dealer or independent service center.
