"Don't buy a Ram 4.7"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Main issue; Rough idle, will not idle consistently.

Trash in the heater A/C blower motor.

Bad Goodyear tires.

Harsh 2nd to 3rd up-shift sometimes.

Creaking/popping plastic door panels.

General comments?

Dealer installed an updated program in the computer to address the dying problem. Corrected. Says rough idle was due to performance cam. A lie. Then said all 4.7's idle rough. A lie. Tech that installed the new program in the computer said it was to raise and hold idle at 700rpm. Idle varies from 500 to 700rpm with no load. It will not hold steady at 700. Now they say it's NOT supposed to hold at 700. Now dealer says I should ignore the rough idle and just enjoy the truck.
