2013 RAM 1500 headlight problems

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

DEFECTIVE headlamps. Excessive moisture builds up in housing effecting performance of lights in evening. Was stopped by DPS for having bad headlamps. Dealership says it normal, no its not. It's very unsafe to drive at night with moisture in lamps. Had it looked at or inspected by independent shop and DPS. My safety is at risk for you can't see at night with all the moisture in lamps. This is a common problem with Ram 1500 all over the internet.

NHTSA complaint #11231629 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

BOTH HEADLAMPS ARE EXPERIENCING SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNTS OF MOISTURE ENTERING THE SEALED BEAM AREAS, CAUSING A "FOG-LIKE" EFFECT OVER THE INTERIOR OF THE HEADLAMPS AND REDUCING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF NIGHT TIME VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. THE MOISTURE DOES NOT GO AWAY ON ITS OWN AFTER A FEW DAYS AS FCA ENGINEERS SAY IT SHOULD.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

2013 RAM PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WON'T WORK DUE TO INFERIOR WIRING AND COMPUTER PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP AND SEVERAL MECHANICS HAVE CONFIRMED THIS PROBLEM. NO ONE CAN AFFORD THE 'FIX" FOR THIS ISSUE. I HAVE NO PROBLEM REPLACING BURNED OUT HEADLIGHTS BUT SEE THE POOR DESIGN OF THIS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN NOT BE RESOLVED REASONABLY. I HAVE A 1995 TRUCK WITH NO HEADLIGHT PROBLEMS NOW OR EVER. IF THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T COME UP WITH AN EASY FIX THAN THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED. OR DISCOUNTED FOR DAYLIGHT ONLY.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

I HAVE A DODGE RAM 15000 CREW CAB LARAMIE. BOTH TAIL LIGHTS ARE MALFUNCTIONING IN THE BLINKERS. WHEN I TURN THE BLINKER ON IT BLINKS REALLY FAST AND SAYS THE TAIL LIGHTS ARE BAD AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE LIGHTS IN THE BACK ARE HALF OUT WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. I DID SEE THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT FOR MY VIN THERE IS NOT. SO IT APPEARS ALL 2013S SEEM TO BE AFFECTED. I ALSO HAVE A TICKING NOISE IN MY ENGINE WHEN I START THE VEHICLE. IT LESSENS AS THE CAR WARMS UP. I NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2012 FOR BAD EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. I BELIEVE THIS IS STILL OCCURRING ON THESE VEHICLES. I HAVE NOT REPAIRED EITHER OF THE ITEMS ON MY TRUCK BECAUSE I BELIEVE IT IS JUST MALFUNCTIONING. I DON'T RECALL HOW LONG ITS BEEN OCCURRING BUT AT LEAST FOR OVER A YEAR.

BOUGHT THE PICKUP IN JANUARY 2016 ONE PREVIOUS OWNER EVERYTHING ORIGINAL THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT CONNECTOR PIN NEEDS TIGHTENED CONSTANTLY BECAUSE THE LOW BEAM HIGH BEAM LOSES CONNECTION AND WON'T COME ON UNLESS YOU PULL HEADLIGHT AND TIGHTEN THE CONNECTOR PINS. IT HAPPENS AT VARIOUS TIMES IN VARIOUS SITUATIONS WHILE DRIVING IT WILL ALSO FLICKER ON AND OFF. PARKLIGHT WORKS FINE. I DON'T KNOW ACTUAL DATE BECAUSE IT IS SO FREQUENTLY SO THE DATE IS AN ESTIMATE.

SIMILAR TO NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10898441 I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED AN INTERIOR DOME LIGHT FLICKERING AND ALSO THE DRIVERS POWER WINDOW DOOR LOCK SWITCHES STOPPED WORKING. I WAS LOCKED OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS RUNNING WITH ALL DOORS LOCKED (BY ITSELF) AND WINDOWS WERE ROLLED UP. I HAD TO CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO GET INTO THE VEHICLE. THE SWITCH CONTINUED TO ATTEMPT LOCKING OF THE DOOR BY CONSTANTLY CLICKING. WHICH I FOUND OUT THE NEXT MORNING WHEN THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. I FOUND OUT THIS VEHICLE WAS MADE FOR AND FIRST SOLD IN CANADA WHICH IF THAT WAS DISCLOSED TO ME I NEVER WOULD HAVE PURCHASED IT. THE DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER AND THE MECHANICAL SPEEDOMETER ARE NOT SHOWING THE SAME SPEEDS. AT 30MPH THE DIGITAL ONE SHOWS 32MPH BUT AT 70MPH THE DIGITAL SHOWS 75MPH. REPAIRS ATTEMPTED AT LITHIA CHRYSLER JEEP RENO NV UNSUCCESSFUL. WHEN THE DOOR LOCKS FAILED TO WORK THE TRUCK WAS STATIONARY AND THIS LOCKING ALSO OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT SLOW AND FAST SPEEDS, CITY AND HIGHWAY.

I STARTED NOTICING MY DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT FLICKERING FOR A FEW DAYS AND NOW THE LOW AND HIGH BEAM LIGHTS ARE BOTH OUT. I ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE THE BULBS AND REALIZED THEY WERE FINE. THE DAY AFTER, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNED ON BY THEMSELVES AND NOW MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WONT ROLL DOWN. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS MY (TIPM) TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE AND IT WILL COST AROUND $800 OR MORE TO REPLACE. SO I DID SOME RESEARCH AND CANNOT BELIEVE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING TO PAY THIS MUCH MONEY FOR A FAULTY PART AND FROM THE SOUNDS OF IT, IM LUCKY TO HAVE THE LITTLE PROBLEMS I DO. REPORTS OF PEOPLES VEHICLES STALLING, NOT STARTING, AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING, ETC.. HOW IS THIS NOT A RECALL? PEOPLES LIVES COULD BE AT RISK.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

I FEEL THAT THE HEADLIGHTS (HALOGEN) ON MY 2013 RAM 1500 SLT ARE INADEQUATE TO DRIVE THE TRUCK SAFELY. THE LOW BEAMS ARE TOO DIM AND YELLOWISH TO SEE DOWN THE ROAD. I HAVE HAD MANY VEHICLES IN MY 35+ YEARS OF DRIVING AND THESE ARE THE WORST HEADLIGHTS OF ANY CAR OR TRUCK I HAVE EVER SEEN OR EXPERIENCED. I HAVE SEEN OTHER 2013 RAM TRUCKS WITH SIMILAR HEADLIGHTS WITH THE SAME DIMNESS AND YELLOWISH LIGHTING. I FIND MYSELF OVER USING THE HIGH BEAMS SIMPLY BECAUSE THE LOW BEAMS FAIL TO DO THE JOB. OTHERS HAVE HAD TO HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS, RAM NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS. ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS IS THAT THERE IS A APPROXIMATE 1 SECOND DELAY WHEN USING THE HORN TO WARN OTHER DRIVERS. TAKE THAT 1 SECOND DELAY WHILE DRIVING AT 30...40...50 MPH AND IT MAGNIFIES THE DANGER.
