| The chrome trim ring around the shifter on the console mounted shifter reflects the sun right back into your eyes during certain times of the day. this is very dangerous to have this glare in your vision. i must cover that area with my hand to block the reflection. i cannot have both of my hands on the steering wheel when this happens. i cannot legally tint my front side windows or the front windshield to lessen the light. this is a dangerous design flaw. *tr | |||

| Factory recommended running boards were installed by dealer when i purchased the vehicle and bought 100,000 mile bumper to bumper warrenty. they were loose in 5 months dealer tightened them. they were loose again 6 months later dealer tightened them again. they were loose within a few weeks i checked them recently and found they were stipped. i took the truck to the dealer and was told they were not repairable and suggested i get aftermarket boards to replace them at my cost of course. the assist service manager comments mr jones i would get aftermarket boards the same thing is probably going to happen to the other side. obviously there has been other issues with these boards. they are stripped and the dealer is the only one that ever tightened them he obviously had a cya story for dodge about how i must have stripped them etc. these boards are obviously a safety hazard when they fall off and cause an accident i'm obviously going to be in trouble with legal fees etc. 100,000 mile bumper to bumper should cover esp with safety issues. | |||

| Esp/bas warning lights came on while waiting in the gas lines. the truck fish tails / skids more frequently on slick / rain roads. the lights did not go out after checking fluid levels, electrical connections, etc. it appears to be a common occurrence for ram 1500slt trucks after doing an internet search on the condition. i have not contacted the dealer yet in hopes of the condition correcting itself, but will shortly. also, it appears to be the beginning of rust in the rear body / tow frame of the truck after less than four years. *tr | |||
