2024 Ram 3500 Complaints

SUSPENSION — Filed 07/20/2026

The truck is in for its second front end alignment. I bought it brand new in October 2024 and it has about 43000 miles on it. I'm concerned for my family's safety. If it is going out of alignment this often, I don't feel safe driving it. The dealership has no explanation of why its going out so fast. I know I'm not the only one having this problem. There are thousands of people saying they are having the same issues. It was out of alignment from the factory. Pretty much all of them are. Something needs to be done about this. I put today's date but the first time I took it in was less than a year and 20000 miles ago.

The contact owns a 2024 Ram 3500 equipped with Weigh Safe Trailer Heavy Duty Transfer Hitch Model, Serial Number: (Unknown), also known as the Heavy-Duty Weight Distribution Hitch, True Tow Distribution Hitch Heavy Weight. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 MPH, an aluminum pin sheared off, causing the trailer hitch to disconnect from the vehicle. The contact became aware that the trailer was slightly drifting towards the right. The contact released the accelerator pedal, and the trailer slightly lowered and was dragging on the pavement. The contact stopped the vehicle, activated the hazard lights, and reconnected the trailer with a spare trailer hitch. The contact emailed the manufacturer to report the failure and provided photos of the damage. The manufacturer advised the contact to go to the website to file a warranty claim; however, the contact was unable to complete the warranty claim. The failure mileage was unavailable.

PTC heater short circuited, overheated and scorched/melted itself as well as other plastic Hvac components and sent toxic fumes into the passenger compartment via the HVAC vents. This truck has been in 2 different Dodge dealer service departments multiple times for the same failures. After repairs were performed, the same failures occurred on the way home from the dealer. The PTC heater grid sits INSIDE of the HVAC airway. I am now experiencing multiple adverse medical symptoms from these exposures.

TIRES — Filed 06/01/2026

I have a 2024 Ram 3500 with 9661miles, equipped with Firestone Transforce AT LT285/60R20 Load range E tires. These tires are date coded 3123 which make them just under 3 years old as of this report. All 4 of the tires have developed spider cracking in the valley of the first set of lugs from the outside sidewalls. It is cracked consistently all around the tire(only in this area, no other cracks exist on the tire). This cracking is consistent and present on all four of the tires. The cracks continue to open up and are to the point that I am afraid to drive the truck. I have been to both the selling dealer and 2 separate Firestone Corporate Sponsored Tire stores for inspections. Everyone seems to agree that this should not happen, but no one wants to take responsibility for the warranty to correct this concern. The selling dealer indicates that they are not responsible for the tire warranty and the Firestone Stores and a district represent have communicated to me that, even though that I purchased the truck brand new, I am not the original purchaser of the tires and therefore they are not covered under warranty. Obviously, a finger pointing exercise and choice by each manufacture to place my safety at risk. I have no choice except to purchase new tires so that I can continue to operate my truck safely. I have pictures of the concerns, and the tires will be available for inspection if requested.
