My new Ram has very soft brakes. Should you keep constant pressure on the brake pedal it will eventually go to the floor. Also, no trailer brakes. Dealer states they can find no problem, and they are working as intended. They are not. Lockhart Texas dealer bled the brakes, with no improvement.

I hit a deer coming around a corner at probably 45 mph, dead center in the middle of my bumper. My airbags did not deploy, and my front sensors did not alert me before collision.

The rear view back-up camera functions intermittently. Sometimes it works as expected, sometimes it displays a partial distorted image, sometimes the screen is black, sometimes it displays a blue screen with the message camera system unavailable. The error has occured for several years. Every time I see a camera recall for ram I expect my vehicle to be part of it but never seems to be. Talking to others it seems to be a known issue, but not a known repair--could be one of several things causing…

NHTSA recall number 24V-896 was marked as completed on my vehicle but I'm telling you the work was never done. It was marked as complete on 27 September (that's a Sunday) of this year. I called Stellantis recall department and they just say it's complete but can't tell me who actually did the work or who completed it, just totally stonewalled me, so I'm contacting you. I haven't even been to a dealership in about 10 months for anything. This was either accidentally marked complete or…
