Day 1 of having my truck I drove it home in the rain and I noticed a one inch strip of fog on the bottom of the headlights. I didn't check to see if it was on the inside or outside. So there better not be a faulty seal!!

That's because the lights are not venting enough. The led lights don't generate enough heat to burn off the moisture. There's a TSB on the repair

Good to know. However, today at Lowes I lowered the truck "entry/exit" and put 20 2x4's in the bed...there was a pretty large leak of (dexron, red fluid) coming from above the rear diff. I'll be taking it in on Monday. WTF

Keep us updated on this one.
Service tech did a fluid test. Said it was discolored water that was leaking out.. I'll look into this further. I don't see how water would get behind a seal but, I have 100,000 miles to figure it out ;p

Chrome????

Just found this forum today. I hate to see this truck having issues. I just traded my 2011 Big Horn For a 2016 Rebel. Mine is black on black.. Everything was awesome till I got home and found that all the badges were blacked out except for on the passenger side, the Ram 1500 and 5.7 HEMI badges were chrome...Not a big deal but now it's an eye soar on a new truck... Waiting to hear back from dealer....

Willis2000, yes I did get my bumper fixed, but it was like they did me a favour by fixing it. The other issue I have is the so called Hemi tick when the truck is idling, but I here this is common with the Hemi engine. Based on all the issues in this thread it appears FCA pushed the Rebel out to get the sales. Dollars over quality seems to be the way of today

I can't believe the Hemi Tick is still an issue. My 2011 Challenger RT ticks like crazy. Its been in the shop a few times and even the techs say my tick is louder than most. They have replaced lifters and other internal engine parts and temporarily improved it but the tick always comes back. Why do manufactures not correct things that have plagued their vehicles for years?

well, 2500 km today and something is going on with my front end... Not sure if a wheel weight broke loose. or if its something in the front end, almost felt like the mud flap was being grabbed on, but there is much to much clearance for that to be the case. not sure if its a balance issue either, as i think i heard something while crawling through a parking lot. Stuck in the sticks for now so it will be a bit before i can get it looked at, checked the lug nuts and that was not the case.
Quite a bit of vibration and thumping being felt.

One of my Rambox painted lid covers is coming apart from the plastic lid. It goes in for a warranty claim soon. The plastic bumper cover has already been replaced under warranty.....Someone in the Trim department was on crack when the built my truck.

Besides that, no issues. It's quiet as a mouse. I'd go crazy if I heard a lot of rattling like Aqualite75. That's a pet peeve of mine, also the reason I got the Ramboxes- no interior clutter!
UPDATE: Rambox lids were replaced and the paint matches well. No more issues. She's looking great and purring like a kitten.

Same problem

Mine has about 4K on it and was doing the EXACT same thing. The dealer replaced the wheel bearings and it still continued. Today they called me and said it was a Right Front Axle Bearing that is bad and to make it worse they are on back order! So I am stuck driving their Journey Courtesy Car until sometime next week.
