There are 2 owner-reported visibility & wipers complaints for the 2026 Ram 1500in NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
I almost pulled out in front of oncoming traffic because I did not see the traffic, it was in a blind spot. The exterior left and right rear view mirrors are so large they block visibility from the left and right oncoming traffic at an intersection. They create blind spots for oncoming traffic putting our safety at risk by not seeing the oncoming traffic. Dealer not responsive to documenting this safety hazard. No warning lights for the left and right oncoming traffic at an intersection.
2026 Ram 1500 Big Horn - 1500 miles - At temperatures just below freezing, fan speed set to highest level and HVAC temperature set very high, the defroster was not able to prevent precipitation from freezing on the upper half of the windshield. This obscured my visibility and presented a safety risk while travelling down the freeway. It was only mitigated by near continuous use of de-icer windshield washer fluid. Very little air was coming out of the defroster duct and the majority was coming out by my feet. Cycling the HVAC system through all the different modes produced expected behaviors in all cases, except there is no perceptible difference between full defrost and defrost/feet mode. The temperature of the air is as expected; there is just insufficient flow from the central duct at the base of the windshield. The vehicle is scheduled to be serviced by the dealership. No warnings, OBD codes, or other indicators are present.
