Más Constante

La NHTSA ha recibido 656 quejas de propietarios sobre el Ram 1500 2018, es decir 75,6 por año en circulación: más quejas de lo habitual para un vehículo de su edad (índice de quejas 1,80; 1,00 es el promedio de todos los vehículos seguidos). Entre los 73 vehículos del año-modelo 2018 que seguimos, ocupa el puesto 56 por menos quejas al año. Frente a otros modelos Ram, su tasa es un 32 % menor; frente a otros Pickups grandes, es un 23 % menor.

Las cifras se normalizan por tiempo en circulación, no por ventas: un modelo popular genera más reportes que uno raro, y las quejas no se verifican una por una. Cómo contamos

Quejas presentadas entre el 2018-01-02 y el 2026-08-31. Mediana entre el incidente y la presentación: 16 días.

Solución: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will install the correct park lock rod, free of charge. The recall began June 28, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is U43.

Pushing the brake pedal for prolonged periods when the vehicle is running and in PARK may cause the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) pin to stick in the open position. With the pin in the open position, the transmission can be shifted out of PARK into any gear without pushing the brake pedal or having the key in the ignition.

Riesgo: Being able to shift the transmission without pushing the brake pedal and/or without a key in the ignition can increase the risk of an unintended vehicle rollaway that may result in personal injury or a crash.

Solución: Chrysler will notify owners and dealers will update the Body Control Module software. Dealers will also test the BTSI operation, replacing the solenoid as necessary. The recall began February 26, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is U11.
