2nd RHO Down

[Gassywizard22]

I recently picked up my second RHO last week (which was supposed to be the replacement for my first RHO which was in the shop for over 30 days previously) and after less than 400 miles it’s back at the dealership waiting on a new water pump, brake booster and an ABS module. I even had the dealership mechanics go through the common problems checklist that was shared on the forum before I took delivery. Absolutely absurd that back to back BRAND NEW vehicles have chronic issues making them undrivable.

Now I have to wait indefinitely for a water pump and a brake module as they are on back order with no eta on when they can be sent. I really want to love this vehicle but the quality and reliability issues just keep piling up. $4k in replacement parts for a vehicle that just came off the assembly line.

I love my RHO, but if I was in your shoes I don’t think I could be a returning customer. That sucks man. I’m pretty fortunate I’ve only had some very minor electrical glitches (so far). Only at 7,000 miles though.

OK so mine had the same ABS Module issue that was draining the battery and causing it to die on me 3 times. It was at the dealership shop for a month to get the ABS module changed out, but then they received a bulletin that said two additional modules needed to be changed out but are not available to order until 11/1. I luckily have a great contact (Case Manager) with Ram Cares who already told me she follow up with the dealership on 11/2 to make sure they are ordered and get it fixed asap. I went without the truck for a whole month and decided to bring it home since it's technically drivable, just doesn't have a lot of the safety bells and whistles working. I'm hoping the next time it's in the shop it's not for another month.

Just saw the post on what happened to your 2nd RHO, hopefully third times a charm and its trouble free for you!

Damn bro glad you're okay.

100%…get some money from them too…no reason ever to rear end someone. It’s always distraction or not paying attention(possibly under the influence too)

Yeah, already lawyered up. Was 100% distracted looking at their phone and plowed into us at 50 miles an hour while we were sitting at a dead stop. Wife goes “thank god for your massive truck because if it was anything else someone wouldn’t have made it out alive”. 7 car pile up, absolutely bonkers.

I have zero compassion for those people. Zero.

Again glad you’re both ok.
