Braking ability is very diminished while driving, particularly dangerous while pulling a trailer or load in bed. Brake pads are good.

The electric fan went out after 1year just over 50,000 miles and it seems it happening on enough vehicles that the fan is on back order. The daytona Dodge dealership misdiagnosed radiator and replaced it, and refused to reimburse after it was checked and found to be good. This might have made installing fan easier. I mentioned this in case it's a on going practice.
ABS control module has been back order since June 2023. Abs light flashes and bing on regular bases. Cruise will not work when the ABS light is on. I’ve been on a wait list since June 2023, truck is very annoying trying to drive with constant binging. Towing my 5th wheel is very concerning with on going ABS module problems.
Random occurrences of an audible bell along with error messages stating, "Service Electronic Braking System" and "Service Antilock Brake System" flash momentarily on the dash. They may also stay on for prolonged periods of time. Cruise control is inoperable when the error messages flash, or stay on. The ABS trouble indicator light is also on during these events. The abrupt cancellation of cruise control in traffic is dangerous, especially when towing a trailer. The problem started (for me) just after purchasing the vehicle, used, with 27,428 miles on March 9, 2023. I suspect the pervious owner traded this vehicle on another vehicle because of this problem. I tried to get out of the purchase of this truck because of this problem. Dealer would not allow that without much expense on my en

On many occasions, the backup camera on my 2017 Ram 3500 DOES NOT FUNCTION when placed in reverse. I had my vehicle serviced and the Dealer said no problem with the camera could be found, but they did check all of the connectors were OK. The problem usually happens on wet or high humidity days, but also occurs during nice weather at random times. When the problem occurs, the display just shows random scrambled signal like a TV tuned to a channel with no signal. I noticed a recall that does not affect my model year. I am curious if the recall can be extended to my model year. The campaign for backup cameras is 23V654.

We keep getting airbag service light come on every time we crank the truck.. We have taken it to the dealership 3x now and they have finally found the issue (of course it is out of warranty at this point. But it is the orc sensor that has shorted out. This is a known recall on many other vehicles. But mine has now shorted out with no "current" recall.
