The clicking brake pedal is my biggest issue this far.

What is that? My 2016 did it. My 2017 once in a while

Speaking of the brake pedal.... Mine is too high. I have to lift my foot a long way off the accelerator pedal to put it on the brake. I have had a look and there is no way to adjust it.

You mean the relay click unlocking the gear shift?

Lack of a passenger airbag shutoff. My kids go in the backseat. But I'd like to be able to pick up their cousins, using all my seats without worry of the airbag.

I believe it's weight based but I could be wrong...

The relay I can feel on the shifter when pressing brake. Is that what you’re talking about? For me it’s a click on the pedal itself it feels like. Almost like it’s loose but it’s not. Maybe the arm is clicking ?

This is what I feel as well however it is very intermittent. I have not taken it in to the dealer yet. I plan to get under there and look around myself first before dropping it off. I typically experience it on light brake pedal pressure mostly however like I said, it is intermittent. A loud enough audible click to hear as well as a click/pop feel in the brake pedal.

There are many forum threads about it but I have not found anyone that explains the solution as of yet.

That’s pretty much what I have as well. Maybe it’ll be another recall. I have a stack of them awaiting to get done

When I had a sh!tty Silverado, I had a similar feeling, and it ended up being a loose caliper bracket bolt.

Maybe, maybe not, but an easy check....

I’ll have the service guy take a look at it when it’s in for service and recalls

Thanks!

They look kind of angry when I see them in my rearview mirror.

It's part of the design to get you to visit the dealer so they can try and sell you something else.

My only dislike is the chesp crappy brakes/rotors.

I love my Ram, really love the 65RFE and column shifter.

True that.
I had 13,500 miles on mine when I started hearing squeaking while braking. I wasn't amused at all.
I'm now about a thousand miles more and it's still there. Still deciding if I want to keep the truck yet. If I do, I'm probably going to go with some sort of big brake kit with colored calipers. I'll have to hook up with nick @ got exhaust to go over my choices when I want.

My brakes work great and make zero noise.
