26k miles in a year and going strong. Only issues have been cosmetic, nothing major. full 2014 Ram 1500 review |

I had my truck for only 11 months. The motor was solid but the electronics were garbage as far as I'm concerned. full 2012 Ram 1500 review |

Now my family builds dodge so it hurts me to say this truck was a big disappointment. I had my truck for only 11 months. This truck was put in the shop so many time for the same things I was reluctant to even consider another Chrysler product. My ignition switch constantly stopped working in the cold months. My transmission had repair work twice (something about a pump) before being fully replaced with a brand new one. My doors made horrid squeaking while being opened or closed. The motor on the other hand was solid but the electronics were garbage as far as I'm concerned. full 2012 Ram 1500 review |
