  1. Ram is recalling certain 2019 Ram 1500 trucks because the adjustable brake pedals can fall off.

    No need to adjust your screen, you read that right. The brake pedal can detach when pushed back too far. For an extra sprinkle of fun it can even happen while driving and, well, that seems less than ideal. Hopefully Ram will hurry up and fix the estimated 220,000 trucks with this problem.
