Engine Ticking and Safety System Warnings on a Ram 3500 in Georgia
Ram 3500 lemon law claims in Georgia are covered under O.C.G.A. § 10-1-780 et seq.. When a vehicle requires multiple repair attempts for the same defect and the manufacturer cannot provide a permanent fix, the owner may be entitled to a cash settlement — at no cost. Easy Lemon recovered $25,000 for this client.
Our clients purchased a Ram 3500 from Troncalli Chrysler Jeep Dodge Inc. in Georgia. After accumulating approximately 35,000 miles, the truck developed a persistent ticking noise while driving. Additionally, when connected to a 5th wheel camper, the airbag system and ABS system warning messages appeared on the dashboard. The vehicle was brought in for repair on August 1, 2025, and the dealership was still in communication with the manufacturer for ongoing repairs at the time this case was settled.

Legal Analysis
Why This Ram 3500 Qualified as a Lemon

Engine: Required multiple repair attempts without permanent resolution.
Electrical: Required multiple repair attempts without permanent resolution.
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act eligible: Federal warranty protection provided additional remedies.
💡 Zero Cost to the Client: Under Georgia's Lemon Law and Magnuson-Moss, Ram was required to pay Easy Lemon's legal fees upon successful resolution. The client paid $0 out of pocket.

Do Ram 3500 trucks have engine ticking or brake system problems?
Ram 3500 heavy-duty trucks have been associated with powertrain ticking noises, airbag module faults, and ABS system warnings in some model years. Issues that emerge during towing operations can be particularly concerning since these trucks are designed specifically for heavy hauling. Safety system failures during towing may constitute a substantial safety impairment under lemon law.
What is a 'Cash and Keep' settlement for a Ram truck?
In a Cash and Keep settlement, the manufacturer pays you a cash amount to compensate for the vehicle's defects and associated losses, and you retain ownership of the truck. This option is often appropriate for work vehicles where the owner needs to maintain continuous use of the truck.
Does Georgia lemon law cover Ram trucks?
Yes. Georgia's Lemon Law (O.C.G.A. § 10-1-780 et seq.) covers new motor vehicles sold in Georgia. Consumers who experience a substantial defect that cannot be repaired within a reasonable number of attempts, or whose vehicle is out of service for more than 30 days, may be entitled to a replacement or refund.
How does Easy Lemon handle cases where the manufacturer is still working on the repair?
An ongoing and unresolved repair is itself evidence of the manufacturer's inability to fix the defect. Easy Lemon regularly pursues claims when the vehicle is still in the shop. An active repair requiring manufacturer technical assistance can strengthen your case.
