One problem related to battery dead has been reported for the 2012 Dodge Ram 1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
2012 Dodge Ram 1500 crew cab lone star 5. 7 hemi w/mds auto trans. Transmission has a very moderate "bump" or jaring thud inside the vehicle after the truck comes to a complete stop from normal driving speeds in city/highway. Took to dealership and they could not repeat concern as I described. This bump is not normal and is not constant or consistent with all stops. Also, truck was towed to dealership for warranty work after 1200 miles. Truck's electrical system went out. Battery was dead and would not start. Unkown problem. Thank you.
