The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the vehicle was started, and the ABS, traction control, and brake warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with ABS failure. The contact was informed that the ABS needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was informed that there was a national back order on the parts. In addition, recently, while driving approximately 60 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed, and the brakes seized, and the vehicle spun out in traffic. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 87,500.

Sudden loss of power steering at slow speeds. There was no warning lights prior to loss of power steering. I was able to avoid accident by moving quickly into a parking lot There is recalls for The EPS from 2013 to 2015 manufacturing date starting January 22nd of 2015 My truck was manufactured January 6th. There are two recall numbers s19 covers 2013 to2015 along with VB9 covers 2013 to 2019.

I am submitting this complaint to report a serious safety defect involving a high-pressure fuel system failure that occurred shortly after recall service was performed by an authorized dealership. The failure created a significant risk of engine compartment fire and potential loss of vehicle control. On March 25, 2025, my vehicle underwent recall service at Hall Ram Dealership for replacement of the high-pressure fuel pump. This repair required removal and reinstallation of the high-pressure fuel supply lines. These lines are torque-to-yield, single-use components that must be replaced once removed to ensure proper sealing under high operating pressures. On April 7, 2025, while driving at highway speed, the high-pressure fuel line connected to the pump suddenly ruptured. This resulted in an uncontrolled release of fuel into the engine compartment, creating an immediate safety hazard. Atomized fuel was exposed to high-temperature engine components, significantly increasing the risk of ignition and fire. The failure also posed a risk of sudden engine power loss. The vehicle required emergency towing. A review of the March 25 service invoice shows no documentation that the high-pressure fuel lines were replaced. This strongly suggests the original single-use lines were reused, contrary to OEM standards and accepted repair procedures. Reuse of these components can lead to sealing failure, fatigue, and rupture under pressure. This incident raises concerns regarding compliance with federal safety regulations, including 49 U.S.C. Chapter 301 and FMVSS No. 301 governing fuel system integrity. A fuel line rupture under normal operating conditions indicates a critical safety defect and possible improper execution of a recall remedy. I request that NHTSA investigate whether authorized repair facilities are properly following required procedures during recall repairs, including replacement of single-use fuel system components.

Intermittent loss of power steering.

ABS module failing and Mopar doesn't have an available replacement.

I have a 2015 dodge ram 1500 slt 3.6 vvt I purchased the vehicle.I paid full price $18,768 when I first got the truck it has being ticking noise and in has a faulty oil pump also the truck was infected with roaches. I got the truck from dodge ram dealership in morrow ga they just vacuum out the roaches.I bring having problems with this truck since I got it.Any solution y’all going to fix this problem

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. While driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. Additionally, the “Service Electronic Throttle Control” message was displayed, and the vehicle went into LIMP Mode. While attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The contact stated that the failure had occurred while traveling out of state and was five hours away from home. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with a cracked tone wheel. The contact was informed that the tone wheel needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. Additionally, the contact referenced an unknown recall with a similar failure; however, the VIN was not associated with a recall. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 138,000.

Traveling at 60MPH on a highway in the middle lane when my truck lost complete power steering. It felt as if I had zero control over my truck at a high speed. I managed to slow down and made it onto the shoulder without crashing. Had my truck towed to Dodge Chrysler ram dealership. Before dropping it off I saw there were at least 10 recalls for my truck that I mentioned to technician. They plugged my truck into their scanner and the technician got in my truck and drove it right into the shop bay. I’m unsure how he was able to maneuver the truck after plugging it in. After diagnosing the problems with my truck they called to tell me that none of the recalls affected my vehicle and they weren’t repairing anything. My gas tank also detached from my vehicle while driving and I knew that was covered. Over a week arguing and proving they are responsible to repair it. They repaired the gas tank and refused to look into the rest of recalls. I could’ve died and hurt many others driving by the loss of power steering traveling at that speed. Truck was fine then randomly loses full control. There are open recalls for my exact truck with this exact issue. The dealership refused to acknowledge any of it.

The ABS module failed in June of 2025. Ram originally told me the part was on back order 6-8 months. In December they said there were 100 ABS modules on order for our area. In January 2026 they informed the mechanic that is doing the work that there is still parts on back order and it could be another 1-2 months. Today 2/25/26 the mechanic was told there are 265 modules on back order and it can be another 2-3 months. The truck now has a throttle body control issue that is stemming from the ABS issue. The truck is not operable at the moment because of this back order. I have been waiting for 7 months for this part and there are no alternatives on the market. If Ram does not get a part available for me I will either have to find a used one that hopefully isn't going to fail or be out of a $50,000 truck. This is a problem that many people have had according to all of the RAM forums. RAM needs to find a solution because the consumer already paid for the vehicle so parts should be available.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 80 MPH with cruise control engaged, the contact heard an abnormal sound. Upon deactivating the cruise control feature, the vehicle stalled. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to pull over to the side of the road, and after opening the hood, the contact noticed an oil leak. The vehicle was towed to Patriot Diesel, where it was diagnosed and determined that the EGR system and fuel system failures had caused catastrophic engine failure, and there was a hole in the engine. The mechanic determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel) and 19V757000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the dealer was at fault. No assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 115,000.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 MPH, the vehicle started shaking and lost motive power. The ETC warning light illuminated, and the message "Service Electronic Throttle Control" was displayed. The vehicle was stopped in a safe location and inspected. The vehicle was turned off and restarted, but it was difficult while cranking over. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the tone wheel had delaminated and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact associated the failures with NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V475000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

Code P200A and P2D2D showed up, linking to an intake manifold issue. After researching, shows connected to Recall VB1. After speaking with FCA Recall department, they said that the recall was completed. To my knowledge, the vehicle is having the same related issues as the state previous to the recall. FCA will not initiate another recall on my vehicle to resolve the issue the VB1 recall was supposed to address.

My electric power stear started to go in and out as I was driving. It got very hard to stear and as I was trying to turn would cone back on causing me to drive off the road into a ditch. Now dose not work at all

I have a 2015 Ram 1500, my experience is not unique and this issue is well known online. The ABS module (Part No: 68228991AD) is no longer working and my truck has been having an issue with this for about 3 years. The Parts departments in dealerships will typically say that the manufacturer is "looking" for a new contract parts supplier and say that a certain date is upcoming, but it always gets pushed further into the future. I have been without ABS for a long time for this reason. Since I have moved around, I have been unable to stick with a certain parts department for an extended period of time, but I have had this part on order with the current dealership near me for over 5 months, with no status update other than its on order. This seems like a large safety issue to me and I would like the regulator to do something about this.

ABS MODULE FAILED. MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE. A USED PART MAY BE NECESSARY AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPROGRAMMED TO MY VEHICLE AT ADDED EXPENSE. LOOKS TO ME THAT THERE ARE SO MANY RAM TRUCKS EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE AND SOME HAVE RECALLS, BUT 2015 MODEL I OWN IS NOT COVERED. WHY? HOW CAN THIS BE ALLOWED? PARTNO LONGER MADE? THAT IS UNBELIEVABLE. WE RAM OWNERS NEED HELP FROM NHTSA. HELP US PLEASE. IM A RETIRED MAN WHO NEEDS HIS VEHICLE.

Power steering became stiff and eventually quit. After driving to destination steering returned to very stiff condition. Risk safety involved a 20 mile curvy 2 lane road. I do not feel safe continuing to drive this vehicle.

Driving down the road and the steering wheel light came on and I slowed down and tried to turn and it was locked in position and had to have it towed. Now I'm stuck with no vehicle as mine is about 3 hours away from home. Waiting on parts to come in.

Stellantis has a recall for Loss of Crankshaft Position, Reference: 66A / NHTSA 23V-411. They did not include my truck in the recall but I have the exact same problem as verified by the dealer. The Recall Center will not answer the phone and reports errors when I call. The warranty center will not deal with this as it's a recall issue. The cost to repair all the parts is $8,745.75 without any coverage or recall support. The recall remedy was to flash the computer which would be a minimal cost but the dealer cannot do this unless my vehicle is added to the recall. The vehicle is in "limp mode" and is not safe for use while this issue persists. The problem became evident while starting the vehicle in the driveway.

ABS module failed and showed the warning lights. It happened ? years ago and I took it to dealership but still can not get the part to have repaired. This has affected the anti lock brakes, traction control and disables the cruise control. I have lost control coming to a stop light during a rain but luckily didn't hit anything during the slide. Hard to believe that they don't have a fix for this yet!

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle was serviced under NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V475000 (Engine and Engine Cooling), but the failure occurred. While driving 65 MPH, the vehicle jerked and started pulling, and the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal, before the vehicle stalled. The check engine and the Electronic Throttle Control warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was able to coast to the side of the road. The vehicle was restarted after several attempts. The contact stated that while driving to the residence, the vehicle went into LIMP Mode. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the tone wheel had failed. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The failure was a recurring failure, and the contact parked the vehicle due to the safety concerns. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 51,000.

After few hours of research I found a part number to order replacement fuel filter required for use from Recall 22v-406. After passed onto by FCA and reaching out to Mopar who passed me onto local dealer and research on various forums I found a part number 68632011AA for the fuel filter so I thought. I contacted dealer and was told no filter is available and no date when it will be available, so back to research to find part number CSSMZ462AA-001 in the recall listed, I tried to order online but was told to contact local dealer and they confirmed the number good and placed order. I received the part today to find filter and housing cap. the filter resembles previous filters used but does not have any MOPAR stamp on it says made in China but box is labeled MOPAR and says made in Korea. the date on box is 12/15/2023. Is an aftermarket filter being packaged as OEM filter for a recall?

Manifold bolts have been replaced 2 times. I am now experiencing a 3rd time,and can smell fumes in side of vehicle.

Good Moring. I have a 2015 and seems to be an on going problem with these years not. The ABS Module fails, turning off the ABS, trailer brakes, cruise control and lights on the dash. The other problem is you can not find any new modulars. the ABS block corrodes causing this part to fail. If you find a used one you can not program it to the vehicle. With this being a safety hazard and Dodge not having the part available I believe this should be a recall. The truck has a blue book of about 20k but with this part failing not only can I not do emissions due to the lights on the dash but it deems the vehicle worthless. Thank you for you time [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

From 2009 and 2016 ram redesign there litters. I am now getting the lifter and loosing freeway speed. This issue should be a safety problem .mine ram is a 2015.

After having recall 22v-406 completed on November 24,2024 I am nearing time to complete a fuel filter change which after having this recall completed specifies a particular part number requirement and this fuel filter pn 68632011AA is not available anywhere, so now I am at risk for my filter getting clogged and my vehicle stalling and if a gas station gets gasoline put in the diesel tank and it gets put in my truck I cannot use my truck until the systems is drained, clean and filter replaced. Call any MOPAR dealer and ask for that part number and they will tell you not available and no timeline for it to be available.

The power steering was intermittently not working at slower speeds. This went on for 4 months. Now the power steering has completely stopped working which happened while driving making it extremely difficult to control.

My 2015 Ram 1500, Electronic Power Steering stopped working while driving on a two lane road putting myself and others in serious danger, the wheel abruptly became difficult to turn and maneuver the car, causing me to drift onto the shoulder. The car had to be towed as it was unsafe to drive, and once diagnosed by a mechanic the whole unit has to be replaced as they are not serviceable.

Component or system that failed or malfunctioned: The vehicle’s airbag restraint system failed to deploy during a severe single-vehicle crash. This includes the front airbags and any associated crash sensors. The vehicle is currently available for inspection upon request. How safety was put at risk: The failure of the airbag system significantly increased the risk of serious injury. Due to the airbags not deploying during a high-impact collision with a fixed object (tree), the driver sustained a serious head injury. Proper airbag deployment could have reduced or prevented the severity of the injury. Confirmation or reproduction of the problem: At this time, the issue has not yet been reproduced or formally confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. Investigation is pending. Vehicle or component inspection: The accident has been documented by law enforcement and insurance representatives. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, but is available for inspection. Insurance evaluation is in progress. Warning lamps, messages, or prior symptoms: There were no warning lights, messages, or symptoms indicating an airbag or restraint system malfunction prior to the accident. No airbag warning indicators were illuminated before the crash. If applicable: UNKNOWN whether any fault codes were present prior to the accident. Description of incident: The crash occurred at night in heavy fog conditions. While traveling around a curve, the driver encountered an oncoming vehicle in the opposite lane and took evasive action to avoid a collision. The vehicle left the roadway and struck a tree. The impact caused significant damage to the entire vehicle. Despite the severity of the collision, no airbags deployed. The driver sustained a serious head injury that may have been mitigated had the airbag system functioned as designed.

Crankshaft position sensor and tone wheel went out outside the extended coverage.

Electric power steering would randomly fail. No inspections have been done due to it being recently, no warning lights.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle was serviced under NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V475000 (Engine and Engine Cooling); however, the failure persisted. The contact stated that while driving 55 MPH and merging onto the highway, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal, and the vehicle stalled. The check engine and the Electronic Throttle Control warning lights were illuminated. The contact was able to coast to the side of the road. The vehicle restarted after several attempts. The contact stated that upon attempting to drive onto the highway, the failure recurred, and the vehicle went into LIMP mode. The contact was able to drive the vehicle to the residence. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or to an independent mechanic. The check engine and the Electronic Throttle Control warning lights remained illuminated. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was parked and was no longer driven due to safety concerns. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 184,000.

The main ABS module has an internal electrical failure and shuts down. The failure affects the ABS, Traction Control, Trailer brake system and Cruise control to all be inoperable until replaced. The Module is unavailable from dealership with no known date of arrival.

I am writing to request urgent assistance regarding a serious safety and service issue with my 2015 Dodge Ram, which has only 45,000 original miles. I recently took the vehicle to an authorized Dodge dealership after multiple dashboard alerts appeared, including: ABS Light On, Brake Light On, “Service Trailer Light,” “Service Antilock Brake System”, Service Electronic Braking”, “Service Trailer Brake System” The dealership diagnosed the problem as a faulty ABS Module. I was informed that the part would cost approximately $1,400, plus the cost of ordering the part, and that the part may take up to four (4) years or more to arrive—if it ever becomes available at all. I contacted multiple Dodge dealerships and received the same response regarding the extreme delay and unavailability of the ABS Module. I was also told that the vehicle is unsafe to drive in its current condition. This is especially concerning, as this is my only vehicle, and I cannot use it due to the safety risks. Despite this, Dodge customer service informed me that no assistance can be provided unless I first pay for and order the part, even though the part may not arrive for years. Additionally, the dealership is unwilling to buy back the vehicle at a reasonable price due to the unresolved ABS issue, leaving me without a safe, drivable vehicle and without support or alternatives. I have confirmed that there is no recall listed for this issue, yet the ABS Module is a critical safety component, and the lack of part availability for years is unacceptable for a loyal customer who has maintained the vehicle properly and driven it minimally. I am respectfully requesting that Dodge Corporate provide A clear explanation for the extreme parts delay, A prompt solution—such as expedited part sourcing, coverage or assistance with repairs, or a reasonable buyback/exchange option, Guidance on how Dodge intends to support customers facing major safety issues caused by unavailable parts.

The vehicle starts but the steering wheel won’t move. It’s very stiff and takes two pairs of hands to turn it to the left or right.

Imediately following z46 recall my vehicle lost all motive power on the interstate. No warning lights etc. Dealer who performed recall took no responsibility and explained my engine has seized. My research has determined this.is common when the recall is not.properly.performed. I have documented evidence proving the recall was not performed. Dealer suggested I contact the manufacturer. Manufacturer has not helped and Dealer takes no responsibility. I've been told to replace the engine is 20 to 30 thousand dollars. This.is aproximately.what is still owed on the vehicle. The BBB and the aohio attorney generals office claim they cannot compel anyone to take responsibility. What am I supposed to do? I am a paying client to eveyone.envolved and now I'm supposed to countinue paying for a vehicle that is totaled. The manufacturer recomended I see another dealer. The next 2 closest dealerships refused to get involved saying it was the original servicing dealers and manufacturers problem and they did not want to be involved. Upon asking.the manufacturer who to take it to they claimed they cannot force there dealers to service a vehicle.

I was taking my family out to dinner when all of a sudden I kept hearing a rattle and something smacking on the bottom of my truck. I had people flashing their lights at me, so I pulled over into the nearest gas station and got underneath. To my surprise, the fuel tank was halfway hanging with the front strap. I looked where it goes and it's all corroded on the frame. I ratchet strapped it up in the meantime and turned back around and carefully drove home. I'm not sure how to go about my safety being at risk, I just know that a fuel tank falling/getting damaged because the OEM bracket strap on the frame corroding out is not something to take ever so lightly. Who knows what could of happened. The problem I guess is a big issue with 4th Gen RAM's all over the internet, so bad to the point that it went from a 3 year extended warranty until it was changed to a 12 year unlimited mile fix for a salt state such as where I'm located (MI). I have not had it inspected, due to if I have to drive on it, it's either going to get fixed or is already fixed. There were also no lights or indications besides hearing the noise and getting underneath for an inspection.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel failed to turn in the intended direction. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with a failed electronic power steering rack. In addition, the contact was informed that the electronic steering rack was internally short-circuited. The contact was informed that the electronic power steering rack needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 164,000.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? ABS Control Module (Part Number 68228991AD). Failure of this part prevents the ABS system, trailer brake, cruise control, and traction control from functioning properly. Part is currently installed into vehicle and is not available for inspection. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Car no longer has ABS, traction control, trailer brake, or cruise control. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. This is a know issue with 2014-2016 Ram 1500s. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Yes. Following lights are on dashboard: Brake, Traction Control, ABS. OBD Code C2200 for internal module failure. Lights were first intermittent in the Summer of 2024. Came on permanently in early 2025. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION There is a design flaw in the ABS Module for these vehicles that causes them to malfunction. This issue affects thousands of Ram vehicles. The chip in the module that is defective is no longer being produced, and Stellantis is unable to provide replacement ABS modules at the rate they are needed. Thousands of these trucks are driving around with no ABS, T/C, etc or are sitting in shops waiting for a new module, as they will not pass state safety inspections. Stellantis will not acknowledge there is a design flaw with these modules, even though they have been listed as being under "Engineering Review" for multiple years. Due to the critical vehicle systems that are impacted, these ABS Modules must be recalled.

Sudden & unexpected power assist failure of the electronic power steering system (EPS). It had an intermittent failure for approximately 3 seconds before total failure then the steering warning illuminated in the instrument cluster. I feel that this absolutely is a safety issue, as the steering is extremely difficult to operate without the rack being powered, much more so than old style power assist, say if the belt came off of an older generation power steering system. There are no OBD2 codes associated with this failure.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the ABS, the cruise control, and the traction control systems unexpectedly became inoperable. The traction control and the ABS warning lights were illuminated. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact expressed a concern that the vehicle was unsafe to drive and could cause a road hazard due to the failures. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure.

The contact called the dealer and left a message. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 122,000.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle was running rough. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed with a seized engine. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 103,000.

My 2015 ram ecodiesel is getting a brake light for ABS, traction control, emergency brake all not working. Dealership wants 4000 to fix it with a part that’s back ordered 2yr. I’m having a hard time understanding if so many people online are having this issue why it’s not a SAFETY RECALL. The stock part failed at no fault of the customers.

Front driver side popping at low and higher speeds, can be driving straight or turning both left or right

Gas tank straps corroded and broke off, causing gas tank to drop down off truck. Repair garage noticed and caught before caused a fire/accident.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH on the Interstate, the electronic throttle warning light illuminated. The contact pulled over to the right side of the road, turned off and restarted the vehicle, but the failure persisted. The contact stated that the failure had occurred on several occasions. The contact stated that he was an independent mechanic and had diagnosed the vehicle. The contact replaced the throttle body and the accelerator pedal. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 172,120.

While driving at approximately 50 mph, my truck suddenly shut off without warning. I lost engine power, power brakes, and power steering. I was only able to stop safely because I happened to be traveling uphill. This created a serious safety hazard. The failure was caused by the crankshaft tone ring issue addressed in the existing recall. The tone ring has already been replaced, but the recall requires a dealer-performed ECM software update to complete the repair and ensure the vehicle is safe to operate. The dealership is refusing to perform the recall software update because my truck has an aftermarket exhaust and a modified EGR valve. These modifications are unrelated to the recall. The recall only involves an ECM software update, and my ECM is completely stock. Because of this refusal, I cannot safely drive my truck. I am concerned that the engine may shut off again at higher speeds, creating a severe risk of an accident. I am requesting assistance to ensure the recall is completed so the vehicle can be operated safely.

The power steering assist is not working and it can be replicated. Very hard to turn and over steering a safety issue, Accident risk as wheel does not return to straight position. There were no warning lights at all. I called stellaris customer service and documented but advised that my vin number was not on the safety recall list which is why I am reporting this. They said I can repair at ,y own expense which I can not afford to do. My case number at stellaris is 94706058

Sudden engine failure

Vehicle Air suspension keeps failing. Mostly when at high speed on highway, warning signs keep coming for "immediate air suspension service required". Vehicle bounces a lot

FAILURE IN ABS CONTROL MODULE. NO NEW REPLACEMENTS AVAILABLE AND NO AFTERMARKET PARTS AVAILABLE. HAVE BEEN UNDER ENGINEERING REVIEW DUE TO COMPONENT FAILURE WITH NO RECALLS ISSUED. IT CONTROL MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKES AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL. IT ALSO DISABLES MY 4WD AND TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, NO ETA ON A POSSIBLE RETURN OF STOCK. I AM PULLING CODE C2200-49 WHICH INDICATES AN INTERNAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE OF THE COMPONENT. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE FOR ALMOST 2 1/2 YEARS.

I was in motor vehicle accident in my 2015 ram 1500 tradesman I was traveling at 60 mph and rear ended a semi trailer that was going 5 mph and the airbags did not deploy there was not lights on the dash to indicate a issue with the airbag system the ram is in a insurance lot for inspection

I'm the 2nd owner in the vehicle I still owe $4,000 on it. I take very and I mean very good care of it even put a new rear-end in it. I was driving it no.lights came on and it started knocking. When I pulled over I popped the hood and was looking it over went to check the oil pulled the diptych out and it had some coming out of it. I jus very disappointed and to come to find out this is a known problem. Just come from a single momma now with out a vehicle I had to have AAA tow it home

Ram trucks have a known problem with the ABS module. When this system fails the truck loses it traction control. It has been known for years, but Ram truck continually states it's under engineering review. Per the dealer in Jacksonville, FL., there is no solution and no parts to fix this issue. My truck only has 61,000 miles and I've lost my ABS, traction control, cruise control, and 4-wheel drive.

The Antilock Brake Module (part # 68228991AD) and Antilock Brake Hydraulic Pump (part # 68196033AA) have failed for no apparent reason. The dealer states there's a national backorder for the module with no delivery date noted. The module controls the anti lock braking system, traction control, and cruise control, which are all safety concerns. The module cannot work without the associated pump. This problem has been confirmed by two dealerships and an independent service center. There were no warnings prior to the failure, which occurred on 10/18/25. The cost of the pump is $1290 from the dealership, which is outrageous. There are remanufactured modules and pumps out there, but they are outrageously priced. I'm thinking about going the remanufactured route to address the safety concerns this causses though.

I have been waiting for brake and traction control components since April 2025, from the Chysler corporation. Latest e-mail states maybe parts in November. I have received these notifications since i initiated a complaint in September. Reply I receive: " Raw material/component supply shortage with supplier." This truck is not safe to drive, it is currently parked at the dealership waiting for parts.

In writing complaint against FCA for not fairness for some VINs with Ecodiesel doesn’t include W68. Following with recall W58 vs W68, my VIN was picked for W58, but never pick for W68 because my VIN is not included. Just complete service for crankshaft throttle failure and spent $2000 for this. I am very disappointed that crankshaft failure recalled do not cover because W68 was not included. I think those W58 for computer update failed to prevent break down due to loose magnetic issue. My VIN is suppose to add recall for W68 because FCA missed this. W58 failed to cover the damages with crankshaft which is mean computer doesn’t solve the problem.

ABS module failure. Indicator lamps for ABS, Traction control, and Brakes are all lit. Getting wheel spin and loss of traction on wet roads. My truck is currently at Thomas Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Highland, 9604 Indianapolis Blvd, Highland, IN 46322. Service Advisor Noah, has advised me that Mopar part number: 68228991AD (ABS Control Module for Ram 1500) has failed and is not available. Upon doing my own research, it turns out the part is manufacturer discontinued and has very limited availability as refurbished or used.

There is intermittent steering lock, that typically happens at slower speeds and when returning back to center/straight. When it happens, there is also a warning chime that occurs. It just started happening in Sept 2025 and has continued to occur since then.

The ABS went out on my truck 3 years ago and Ram/Mopar quit making the part. I am stuck with a $50,000 rock because their part has first been on back order and now no longer manufactured. My truck was 7 years old when this started. I cannot afford to go buy a new truck! I could find a used one and maybe get it flashed but people are charging $800 for a used part and no guarantee that it can be flashed to work in my truck, because Ram decided to make everything proprietary. I really don’t trust the rebuilt ones from China. This is a really bad situation and really should be illegal. I have read online many people that are having the same issue as myself. Thank you for your attention to this matter. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Failure of power steering system

Anti-lock brake module faulty - shorted out. Recall on newer modules but not older ones

The Starter of the truck seems to have "shorted" and started an electrical fire that burnt the wiring harness leading up to the battery including part of the battery cover. Drove truck on 100 mile trip. Arrived, parked. 2 days later went out to truck to drive home. Turned key, check engine light came on. Service electronic throttle control light came on. Opened hood, smelled burned smell. discovered battery cover and harnessed burned. Disconnected and removed battery. Had truck towed 100miles home. Went to mechanic who traced the burn down to the starter. He replaced the starter and showed me where the fire started. FYI I called the service manager at Berthod Ram in Glenwood Springs Colorado to ask if they would like to see the Starter, left message. THEY DID NOT REPLY.

Internal Failure with the (ABS) System Module / (EBCM) Electric Brake Control Module.

I am filing this complaint regarding a serious and ongoing safety defect in my 2015 Ram 1500 involving the failure of the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) module (Part No. 68228991AD). This failure completely disables the ABS, significantly reducing the vehicle’s braking performance and increasing the risk of loss of control or collision during emergency braking situations. This is a well-documented and widespread issue among Ram 1500 owners. Chrysler has discontinued the manufacture and supply of the affected ABS module, leaving owners without a viable means to restore this critical safety system. I have been placed on a waiting list for over two years for a replacement part, yet I have been informed repeatedly that there is no assurance one will ever become available. The dealership has even advised me to “buy a new truck” if I wish to have properly functioning anti-lock brakes. This situation is not only unreasonable—it is dangerous. The lack of a functioning ABS system places my family, my passengers, and others on the road at significant risk. The inability to obtain a replacement for a vital safety component effectively renders the vehicle unsafe for operation. I am aware that Ram recently issued a recall affecting approximately 1.5 million trucks for the same ABS defect. However, my model year has been excluded, despite exhibiting the identical failure. This selective recall leaves hundreds of affected consumers without recourse or protection. I respectfully request that Chrysler and the relevant regulatory authorities investigate this matter, extend the existing recall to include the 2015 Ram 1500, and compel the manufacturer to resume production and distribution of the necessary replacement parts to remedy this critical safety defect.

So those problem has been reported and delt with but continued ongoing investigations for my vehicle. I have a 2015 ram 1500 that at 100,000miles and now experiencing issues with my steering. Have ran vin and no outstanding recalls. My problem is almost like the eps stops working for brief seconds while turning at slower speeds. The problem comes and goes, no noises, lights or codes just physical hard to personally steer my truck at times.

The ABS module has an "internal electrical fault" rendering the ABS and traction control on my Ram 1500 inoperable. The replacement part 68228991AD has been on back order and therefore unrepairable at the dealer for over a year and a half making my truck unsafe and Chrysler hasn't done anything to make the parts more available.

Warning light for EPS and fuel pressure censor

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving 60 MPH, the vehicle lost automotive power with the message "Service Electronic Throttle Control" displayed, and the “Electronic Throttle Control System Fault” warning light illuminated and remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed, and the contact was advised that the EGR Cooler was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle had previously been repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V757000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING); however, the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 109,000.

Courtesy jeep dodge ram on Adamo dr in Florida does not have parts for recalls. They say they are forever back ordered. the ABS Control module which THEY advised is recalled on this vehicle but WILL FORVER BE OUT OF STOCK, so what I’m going to ride around with no ABS? Very upsetting. Paid them 56k for this vehicle originally and they can’t honor recalls. They tell you, just buy a new vehicle. Seems fishy.

Failing fuel pump

My 2015 Chrysler Ram EcoDiesel 4x4 has a major safety defect that nearly caused a catastrophic accident and has left me traumatized. The vehicle is currently inoperable, sitting in my driveway with a dead battery and what sounds like a thrown rod after breaking down for the second time on the highway. While driving on Highway 101 in California, towing a horse trailer with live horses, the truck suddenly lost power without warning. I was left struggling to control the vehicle and avoid a crash in high-speed traffic. This was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. Losing engine power with a loaded trailer on a busy highway could easily have resulted in fatalities — not just for me and my animals, but for other drivers on the road. I was horrified and shaken, and I continue to suffer PTSD from the event. This is the second time the vehicle has broken down under dangerous circumstances. The failure was life-threatening, and it is obvious to me that the engine has now suffered catastrophic internal damage (likely a thrown rod). Recall Issues: I had already received a notice of Recall 22V-406, but when I contacted Chrysler, I was told the parts were not available and they would not buy back my truck. The repair was not released yet, leaving me to continue driving a vehicle I already knew had a serious defect. This delay put me, my animals, and the public at unacceptable risk.

Electric Power Steering Unit suddenly failed upon start-up of vehicle. This truck manufactured in Feb. of 2015 but DID NOT receive NHTSA 16V-167000. The Safety Recall indicates RAM 1500 trucks manufactured from Jan. 22, 2015 to Sept. 13, 2015. This truck is within manufactured recall dates so why isn't it flagged?

I was resuming speed after a toll, my 2015 Ram Eco Diesel 1500 lost all momentum, threw an alarm to service the Electronic Throttle with a red lightning bolt framed by two red lines, and I limped to the shoulder with several semi close on my tail. After researching I shut off for a minute, removed key, opened door, then restarted. The engine struggled and revved several times before starting. The dealership confirmed the Tone Wheel is cracked in several places and is failing of not fault of mine. She is still there with the parts on order. This is related to already completed recall W58, although should be addressed by W68. I should not be penalized for taking good care of my truck. Thank you for your help getting my vehicle and several related NHTSA complaints addressed under recall W68. *Please see related NHTSA IDs: 11671188, 11655078, 11645531, 11644270, 11619387, 11614931, 11613109, 11593300... so many more. Please have an algorithm review the complaints for similarities to allow for safer highways and driving. Thank you and enjoy your week!

I am experiencing ABS issues on my truck. After visiting a local auto parts store to get an OBD scan, the code says it’s a bad ABS module. I called the dealership to share this information and they confirmed the code from the auto parts store is a bad ABS module. They said “oh no, you got that code huh? You’re not the only one.” The reason for my visit was because three lights were illuminated on my dash. The ABS light, the traction control light, and the BRAKE (trailer brake) light. The messages on the dash display say to service the ABS system, service the electronic braking system, and service the trailer brake system. From my research, I have discovered that many people are experiencing this same issue on similar vehicles . So much in fact that the parts for repair are unavailable at the dealership and online warehouses. The cruise control is disabled while experiencing this issue and braking performance is affected while driving. I’m afraid that my brakes will lock up on me in a hard stop event and lead to an incident.

For my truck a 2015 Ram 1500 there is a known issue where the ABS module fails and won't allow the driver to use ABS. It's ubiquitous and Chrysler isn't manufacturing or supplying the ABS module anymore. I was told by the Dealer that I should "just buy a new truck" if I want anti-lock breaks. I have children, this is unacceptable. I'm on a wait list for the part now for over 2 years and I'm told that I may or may not actually ever get the part indicating, again, that I should buy a new one for safe braking. Apparently I am one of 100's of people on a list and Ram just recalled 1.5 million trucks with the same issue but not my year range of truck.... Part no: 68228991ad

Abs control module failed. No cruise control, anti lock brakes, trailer brake function or traction control.

The ABS module has malfunctioned and needs to be replaced. It has been months and the dealership/chrysler is unable to provide parts for the repair.

the electronic power steering went out while operating the pick up on a city street and I was unable to steer the vehicle which created a safety issue for the pedestrians and passengers. There were no warnings or messages indicating a problem prior to me losing steering capability. I pulled over but had to get the truck off the roadway so I drove without power steering to the repair shop. This ‘repair’ cost me $183. The repair shop said they checked for recalls with my VIN, but there wasn't anything so I paid for the repair and drove home. The very next day, the power steering went out while driving on a city street again. I took the pickup back to the dealership for further repair. In researching this issue, I noticed there was a previous recall on the 2015 and 2016 electronic power steering in the Ram trucks for this very reason. I was advised by the dealership that my VIN was not on the recall list. I also called the Ram recall center and they verified this to be true. I addition, I mailed multiple letters to the RAM complaint center but have never heard from them. I called the RAM complaint center and again was told my VIN wasn't on the recall. I expressed my concern regarding other VIN's that weren't on the recall but have experienced the safety concerns for the RAM drivers, passengers and any pedestrians or other drivers near the RAM with the issues.

I have had rust all throughout the frame of the truck

The contact owns 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that after parking another vehicle, the contact exited that vehicle and discovered that the air bag had deployed in this vehicle. No warning light was illuminated. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was inspected by a technician who provided the contact with the number for the vehicle manufacturer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V632000 (AIR BAGS); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The failure mileage was 155,041.

On Friday, August 15, 2025, while leaving a grocery store, my wife pointed out that a part was hanging under my truck. After checking, I noticed that it was one of the two straps that supports the gas tank. It had dropped 3 inches from its original location and was only supported by one strap (the rear one). I temporarily attached the tank with a strap to secure it. At home, I checked the cause of this damage. I noticed that the area (the spacer on the frame, which has a "T"-shaped notch) where the tank strap is held (the end of the strap is "T"-shaped) is rotten, and the end of the strap has passed through. I didn't check the other attachment, but it could have the same problem because it's the same design. This part of the spacer is welded to the frame tightly and fills with dirt and water, causing corrosion.

Transmission started to slip and not have the power it supposed to have.

Failed ABS Module

2015 Ram 1500 was driven into the garage and parked. 2 weeks later when restarted, the power steering would not work. Light in dash says Service Power Steering and also the check engine light is on. Have replaced battery, and checked all fuses, which were good. Due to the fact the truck cannot be steered, am unable to take it to a dealer for service.

I was driving and my truck lost all steering. I was in the middle of turning and I was unable to steer. I was almost rear ended and broad sided at the same time. Thank God the other drivers were paying attention. I spoke with my mechanic and he said that this was a common issue with my truck and this make and model. So I went online and looked and I have attached a screenshot of what I have found.

The issue started with ABS, Brake, and Traction Control lights coming on intermittently. Leventually they stayed on all the time. Cruise Control is disabled while these lights are on and the ABS system is obviously not working. The dealership stated that it was the ABS control module and states that the part is discontinued and they advised that they didn't have any more parts in stock in addition to quoting around 3k if they could find one at any other locations. All fuses are working properly. And all codes that are pulled indicate ABS system faults.

Power steering fails randomly at low speed leading to emergency corrections and jerking of the wheel which could cause an accident.

Complete power steering failure happened twice on my truck. First time was at around 150000 miles and failed while I was driving. I was driving straight and suddenly the power steering completely failed. I replaced the steering rack with a used rack from a 2013 RAM 1500 and that one failed at 235153 miles. The second power steering rack failed on vehicle startup. The date and mileage listed in the additional details are for the second power steering rack's failure. The original steering rack failed around 2021 and I was traveling around 40-60 miles per hour.

Power steering went out. There is an open recall for RAM 1500s that mine needs to be added to. I called in March after it happened. Recall Reference Number 11649049. Vehicle was inspected by auto mechanic on Beale Air Force Base and he identified that it should be part of the recall.

ABS module is discontinued and no recall has been made to remedy the issue.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact had received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V475000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING), and the vehicle was taken to a local dealer and the vehicle was repaired under the recall; however, the failure occurred, and tone wheel became delaminated. The local dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact was informed that the vehicle had already received the one-time free repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 132,000.

2015 Ram 1500 Laramie, 2x4, 5.7L, 60693K miles. The ABS, Traction Control, Trailer Breaking lights are on and off since roughly 51K miles also impacting Adaptive Cruise Control making them all inoperable, even though the truck is still able to be drive, albeit unsafely. I took it to my local repair shop and O'Reilly parts and was told the ABS Controle Module, part number 68228991AD was identified as bad (C2200-49 and in need of replacing at approximately $2000 and that the part is on indefinite backorder. I tried to locate the part on my own and there is in fact a nationwide backorder. After further investigation, I found multiple owners on Ram forums either having or have had the same problems. On one parts website, I found this message regarding the part: PART ON HOLD UNTIL ENGINEERING REVIEW IS COMPLETE, EXP - MAR 20TH, 2025.

Loss of power steering and simultaneous loss of speedometer readings. If one is down, so is the other. It happens mostly on start (intermittent), but has been known to happen while driving. First time was July 4, then it has happened at least 5 times since.

ABS Control Module which is under engineering review thru stellantis and unavailable for the last 2+ years, it affects the abs, trailer brake control and cruise control. It was diagnosed by marlette chrysler jeep dodge in michigan. It started by randomly applying brakes on a curve at slow speeds then according to the dealer completely failed causing cruise control failure, trailer brake control failure and obviously abs function. It was a sudden onset that lead to complete failure from first symptoms to complete failure within 2 days. I realize there is a certain recall on rams for the abs but from reading online the majority of us dont qualify for that recall even tho our vehicles are being affected by it and this needs to be addressed.

Ram 1500 has intermittent power steering loss that snaps the steering wheel back to straight. I almost crashed taking a right turn as the power steering attempted to turn the wheels straight mid-turn. I was able to park the vehicle safely but no lights illuminate on the dash aside from the split-second the system malfunctions. The car does not show a code or anything for the issue and proceeds to show normal dash indicators while stationary except when you attempt to turn the wheel. This is EXTREMELY dangerous as if you do not catch the 0.5 second indicator flash you wouldn't see there is an issue with the power steering system. I believe my truck was impacted by the same issue that affected other 2015 Ram 1500's electric power steering that resulted in a recall. However mine was not included in the recall.

I was driving my ram 1500 and the steering all of a sudden got really hard to steer. It felt like it locked up on me. Then. It broke free. It kept doing it all the way home.

I can be driving down the road and the driver seat belt will unhook by its self . An I was pulling a trailer and the tailgate must of came open and I didn’t notice and the trailer jack dented my tailgate.

Power steering fault at highway speed multiple times, difficulty turning wheel. Intermittent and sporadic issue. "Service Power Steering" intermittently shows on dash.

The contact's mother owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while her husband was driving at an undisclosed speed and depressing the brake pedal, the brake pedal felt spongy, and the vehicle failed to respond as needed, causing the braking distance to be extended. The brake warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed and determined that the ABS module had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was then taken to a Collision Center for additional diagnostic tests. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer was contacted, and an appointment was scheduled for a diagnostic test. Additionally, the dealer informed the contact that the ABS module had been discontinued. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,700.

I was driving on the highway when my power steering assist stopped functioning and almost caused a major traffic collision. I was able to limp the vehicle to a dodge dealership who informed me that the problem was in fact the EPS module that controls the power steering. Dealership nor Dodge will pay for the issue knowing it is an issue that almost caused a major accident. Made complaint with Mopar and customer service and they said nothing they will do. I find this disheartening that they know this major problem exists and offer no solution or assistance. I see your office still has an open investigation into this issue. Please help me get this fixed as I shouldn't have to put out over 4k to fix a known faulty part. Thank you.

On July 2, 2021 my 2015 ecodiesel was given a software flash due to recall W58. This recall deals with the delamination of the tone wheel/CSPS and makes the vehicle rapidly lose acceleration. Instead of being an actual fix, the software simply put a band aid on the issue, by rerouting the tone wheel and sending to a different sensor. On [XXX] it was raining and when I tried to accelerate while in heavy city traffic, the truck lost acceleration rapidly and flashed service electronic throttle control and went into limp mode. I narrowly avoided being in a collision and limped the truck to a medical center parking lot (Koke Mill Medical in Springfield, IL). The truck wouldn't stay running and it wouldn't restart without great difficulty. I was able to limp it to a repair shop (Ruggless Automotive 3417 Constitution Dr, Springfield IL 62711 (217) 787-5484) I have a scanner and I scanned the truck and got code P0336 crankshaft position sensor. Ruggless Automotive ALSO got that code and got code P26AB (yet another recall issue with the EGR cooler recall VB1) Ruggless advised waiting for parts. Talked to Green Dodge about the issues, they didn't want to fix because out of warranty. I contacted FCA/Stellantis. I was given a case [XXX] and told to take to dealership for diagnostics and if diagnostics showed it was to do with the recall issues, that FCA would pay for repairs. Truck was towed BY ME to dealership July 3rd. Green Dodge called me and said they couldn't do any diagnostics because supposedly the battery was dead/bad/unable to be jump started. They tried to make me purchase a new battery from them or else they wouldn't do the diagnostics I need for FCA. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while his wife was pulling into the driveway, the vehicle lost power steering functionality. There was no warning light illuminated. The dealer was contacted and confirmed that the VIN was not under recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 105,000.

My truck's electric power steering is failing and should be added to the current investigation RQ 23-003. I am hopeful that you will make a decision to order FCA to replace, at no charge, all of the affected electric power steering units on Ram 1500 trucks, including mine.

The electronic power steering component itself is failing. When turning the steering wheel one way the wheel will jerk the opposite direction and be very difficult to turn due to the power steering failing. An indicator light on the instrument panel comes on that states to service the steering control system and then shuts off by itself. This impacts the safety of all those in or around the vehicle when in motion due to steering becoming impossible or next to impossible to control. The vehicle has never been under water nor in the snow to cause any such damage. The problem is continuous and can be reproduced and inspected at any time supporting this claim. The factory has a recall in place for this year model and month range for when this truck was produced but my vin is not showing up as being part of the troubled load. It however does fit all of the criteria outlined by the manufacture and current issued recall.

The concern is a rear end collision. At road speeds, vehicle changed to neutral (popped out of gear). Engine continued to run. Vehicle had to cost to a safe spot. At stop the vehicle was turned completely off and restarted with no issue. This is a repeatable but intermittent issue. This issue has also occurred at stop signs and slow speeds. The engine check light and ABS Light did come on. The following stored codes were present: P0340, P1DD2 and U1424. The following pending codes were present: P1DD2, U017E-70, P0340-30, U1424, U0415. Camshaft Position Sensor was changed; but didn't fix the issue.

I had a check engine light come on for the ABS and Traction Control. Did research and found Ram no longer manufactures the ABS Module. Now my truck is no longer safe to drive with no avenue to repair.

ABS system alarms appeared June 2023, dealership says it is abs controller and needs to be replaced. There were none available. I have checked back periodically for last two years and they still have no clue when they will have parts available. The dealer has told me to continue driving the truck.

Electronic steering rack Start to intermittently lose steering, causing random difficulty steering while in operation.

While driving down the highway suddenly loss of power with MIL light. Pulled over contacted dealer. Codes p200a and p200b. Set up appointment. Delivered vehicle to dealer. Inspection shows excessive soot buildup inside intake. Loss of power on road could cause vehicle accident and/or leave people stranded.

I have a 2015 Ram 1500, the ABS module was diagnosed in June 2024 as needing to be replaced by a Dodge dealership. With this issue, my ABS does not work, and the traction control has been disabled by this issue also. At this time, the part is still unavailable for ordering. There is a recall on newer models of this vehicle that are having the same issue.

The electronic steering on my truck is failing prematurely and poses a risk to my safety and that of the drivers around me. When I drive it and go to make turns, the power steering will go in and out causing various levels of strength needed to control the vehicle while turning.

I am experiencing electric-power-steering problems on my 2015 Ram 1500. Although my truck is outside of Recall S19, I understand Recall VB9 / TSB 19E-077 allows dealers to inspect the eps gear serial number for contamination. I am formally requesting that my vehicle be inspected under this bulletin and that goodwill assistance be provided if the EPS gear is contaminated. Please advise next steps.

I experienced an issue with a ticking noise coming from the engine. I took the truck to a local repair shop and they indicated that the problem was an issue with the valves not getting enough lubrication. The repair shop indicated that this is an issue with the 2010 - 2015 Ram trucks that they see multiple times every month. They indicated that a company has patented a change to the part that squirts oil onto the valves to correct the issue. To fix the issue I had to have the engine replaced. If I had not replaced the engine to correct the issue the engine could have seized or broken down while I was driving.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. While the contact's wife was driving approximately 65 MPH, several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle slowed, and the RPMs fell to nearly zero. The contact stated that the vehicle also experienced power steering failure, and the transmission shifted into park (P) and could not be taken out of park (P). The contact stated that the vehicle was towed to a local dealer. The vehicle was diagnosed, and it was determined the ABS module needed to be reprogrammed. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

The ABS, Traction Control, Trailer Breaking lights are on also impacting Adaptive Cruise Control making them all inoperable, even though the truck is still able to be drive, albeit unsafely. I took it to my local dealership and was told the ABS Control Module, part number 68228991AD was identified as bad and in need of replacing at approximately $2000 and that the part is on indefinite backorder. I've been on the "waiting list" for roughly 8 months. I tried to locate the part on my own and there is in fact a nationwide backorder. After further investigation, I found multiple owners on Ram forums either having or have had the same problems. On one parts website, I found this message regarding the part: PART ON HOLD UNTIL ENGINEERING REVIEW IS COMPLETE, EXP - MAR 20TH, 2025. This is not just an issue with 2014-2015 Ram trucks, but extends to other Ram model years using the same part number.

ABS Control Module Fault, due to this the electronic breaking, traction control, cruise control and Anti-Lock Brake system is in fault. with this fault there is a possibility for the braking system to fully fail when operation the vehicle, along with a higher chance to lose control if a need for the traction control comes up. The vehicle has been looked at and was informed that the only part that needs to be changed out is the Control Module. The part needed are not available at any non-dealership location and all dealerships that have been contacted have the part on back order for months with said parts already waiting to go into a vehicle. I have been searching for the part needed since June 2024. This effects the 2014-2016 models of the Ram 1500.

While driving, I suddenly heard a loud metal on metal grinding noise. After getting off the road, other drivers stopped to report that there was a large "shower of sparks" coming from beneath my vehicle. Upon further inspection, I found that the forward fuel tank strap frame mount had completely corroded through. This resulted in the tank strap dislodging, and the front end of the fuel tank falling to just a few inches from the road. Meanwhile, the tank pushed the metal fuel strap against the vehicle's main drive shift, grinding away at the drive shaft like a metal lathe and creating the large shower of sparks directly next to the fuel tank. This was a known defect in the 2008 to 2012 models of this same truck that was the subject of recall. However, for my 2015 truck it is merely a "service bulletin" for the identical defect.

ABS system went out 3 years ago. The truck was still drivable and used extreme caution when doing so. This morning the power steering went out which is directly related to the ABS system. I noticed that a recall was issued for 2017 and beyond models of the Ram, but why not 2015. My truck has less than 100,000 miles and is now completely undriveable because the ABS cant be fixed.

Power steering stopped working - understand there is a recall on manufacture years 2015 and newer - mine falls in the date range but my VIN is not a part of the issued recall "S19"

I have a 2015 Ram 1500 Laramie that I've owned for just over a year. I have already had to replace the EPS rack and pinion once, due to losing all power steering while driving with my kids. I paid $1,800 for the rack and pinion with a limited warranty. The warranty is now up and I am having to buy another rack and pinion from $1,800-$2,500. When I was driving my kids to school, my steering wheel completely locked up and I could not control my vehicle. This has been an ongoing issue and my truck has been inoperable for three weeks. MOPAR is selling dangerous vehicle that are not road worthy that endanger not only my family's lives, but those also on the road. This issue needs fixed, because I am now paying for a vehicle that is unsafe and is putting me in financial hardship. The issue has been confirmed by a mechanic shop to be the EPS rack and pinion system. There was zero warning each time this has occurred, I just lost complete control of my vehicle without warning.

2015 ram 1500 truck the abs module failed , the truck will put itself in park and it has to be towed to a safe place, the truck has been taken to a dealer and they have no parts to fix it with, the warning lights did come on but by that time the truck was not drivable , it has been almost 6 months and the parts number 68228991ad is under engineer review and they are not making the part . there are 1.2 million trucks that need parts ,a recall is on some vin numbers but not all thanks.

I just looked up that some of the Ram 1500 (2015) models are also in the recall on the Three way coolant valve.I have now purchased Four (4) replacement parts for this ongoing issue. Also replaced my engine. What to do?

The electric power steering has slowly become sluggish. At first I noticed the steering wheel was not returning to center after a turn and I would have to assist steering the truck back straight. This started maybe a month ago and being mechanically inclined I thought maybe it was an alignment issue (not enough caster possibly). Then as I left home this morning, out of the blue, the steering was very heavy with substantially less assist. It was difficult parking and even more sluggish returning to center from a turn requiring full hands on steering back to straight ahead. Looking the issue up on the Internet, I find a recall for this issue in 2016 on a small number of this model and now an new ongoing NHTSA investigation since August 2023. I am the third owner of this truck and it has had great care and is in generally fine condition for a 10 year old truck. I have already had to convert the truck back to coil spring suspension due to the air suspension system crapping out. I don't believe a steering system should give out at only 109,000 miles. I believe Stellantis should be held accountable for major system such as steering failing with such low mileage.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and making a turn, the vehicle experienced a loss of power steering assist.

Issued I have had with this vehicle was the camshaft , started shaking and missfire as I was driving heard from other ram owners that this is a common issue on 3.6 ltr The other was an electrical wiring harness that's goes to the engine I have a knob gear shifter as I was driving vehicles. Switch to park and dashboard read something like stop vehicle and restart to shift gear . I thought I had moved it by accident . Next day drove from la, to thousands oaks . Trip started fine till I got to my destination by the grace of God I made it asoon as I parked it all the lights on my dashboard came on traction control throttle body automatic brakes crankshaft sensor and I forgot what else had it towed to LA to mechanic shop where it took them about 3 -4 weeks to pinpoint the issue the esults were the wires were melted and corroded you could see the green residue all along the wire harness. I'm grateful it ain't catch fire or stop on the highway in the middle of the freeway

Electric power steering. Total loss of power steering.

On about [XXX], I was driving and my engine felt like it missed and my check engine light came on and a message appeared telling me to get remote throttle serviced. The truck began to drive badly and lack of acceleration made it difficult to maneuver in traffic. The truck was very difficult to start and unsafe to pull into traffic due to lagging ability to accelerate. I took it to a Firestone and they pulled the codes and said the crankshaft sensor and crank tone wheel had failed and needed replacing. I decided to take it to a RAM dealer in Franklin TN to confirm the diagnosis. After about a week, they confirmed and said crankshaft sensor and reluctor wheel needed to be replaced. I asked them if it would be covered under the recall (FCA W58) on the known defect of the crank tone wheel delaminating. When the recall occurred, I had the temporary solution of a computer flash done back in 2021, but the actual defective part was not replaced. They reported back to me that the cost of the repair would not be covered. They said my truck was too old, but the defect was discovered while my truck was still under warranty. Also, under a previous FCA lawsuit, they were made to pay truck owners money and extend their warranty. How can they get away with not having to rectify a known defect without fixing the problem? The computer flash simply allowed the vehicle to continue to operate, but it was by no means safe to operate on public streets in traffic. Will the NHTSA make FCA actually fix this problem? Thank you for your time. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

In August 2024, the ABS Module on my 2015 RAM 1500 failed - the ABS and Brake lights are on full time. I have new brakes so the vehicle is safe to drive, but with the ABS module out, the cruise control does not work either. A new ABS module is impossible to find - dealers or independent shops cannot get one. Apparently, the part is on engineering hold. Reading various forums, this is a common and known Dodge failure with no foreseeable resolution. There are recalls and class action lawsuits, but not for my year / model. I can't get it fixed, I can't sell it with a known failed system and there is no timeline to resolve the problem. Not to mention the decreased safety with the ABS inoperative. This is completely unsatisfactory.

Rear Axle Shaft replacement Rear axle bearing & axle seal replacement Low compression cylinder 3 - not fixed It stalled out while driving and I made it to the side of the road and I had to have it towed.

When turn the steering wheel feels like it doesnt want to turn and almost wont but then it will go back to normal buf then it will do it agian this happens 2 or 3 times during 1 turn. It happens in when turning in both directions but only on the turn on when wheel is turning back to stright. My safty and other drivers or pedestrians could be injured or be killed by this happing not being able to turn the truck where it is meant to be turned. I afraid that it is going to get worse and i may hit someone or something. There was no warning before,during, or after this happening had a OBD 2 tester hooked up to after it happened the 2 time and it showed nothing about anything relevant to this problem. The shop said that it could be a part failure or malfunction and quoted me $3500. I just bought the truck and knew i would have some problems to fix buying a used truck. But the motor and transmission were hood so i wasnt thi king there would be any really big expenses. Buf then this happened. I called the previous owner and asked if he had any problems similar to that and he said he did but only when it was cold after truck warmed up he wouldn’t notice it, but also said that he didn’t drive it much the last few months due to him having a new truck. He told me he first noticed it around September 2024.

Steering gear has signs of internal shorting. Component is electric. Results in total loss of power steering. My vehicle has the same exact issue as the one noted in recall S19 (see attached document) but is not noted as an open recall with Chrysler Dodge Open Recall Hotline or Stew Hanson Dodge in West Des Moines, IA.

Truck dashboard is showing warning/hazard lamps for Automatic Braking (ABS), Emergency Breaking, and trailer breaking. The cruise control is also not working. Error code C2200 is registered. I've taken it to a RAM dealer and Firestone. Both say that the ABS module (68228991AB) needs to be replaced, but parts are not available. This problem was initially identified May 2024. I call every month to see if the part are available and they say to call back next month. RAM Trucks (aka Stellantis) instructed all dealers and parts suppliers to return all new versions of the part.

Last week, On Thursday, [XXX], at 8 am, I dropped off my vehicle (VIN# [XXX] ) at the local Ram dealership in Houston for performing the recall issued three years ago, on Jun 09, 2022, Manufacturer Recall Number Z46 , NHTSA Recall Number22V-406 . I have been reading online that there are no parts available since the recall was issued in 2022 and I did not want to wait, as this truck is my work vehicle. In March of 2025, almost three years later, I figured that the parts availability issues would be solved by Stellantis/RAM. I was wrong. My local RAM dealer service department (Mac Haik RAM, 12111 Katy Freeway, Houston, TX 77079) informed me today, a week after the vehicle was dropped off, that they are not able to complete the recall because parts are in backorder. In fact, Stellantis could not provide an ETA for the parts to complete this 3 year old recall. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I am reporting a defective tone wheel on my 2015 RAM 1500 Pickup equipped with a 3.0L engine ("RAM") while accelerating into congested rush hour Interstate traffic. The RAM experienced an unexpected significant loss of power due to loss of crankshaft position. Subsequent inspection by the Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram dealership confirmed that the RAM suffered a loss of crankshaft position due to a missing section of the magnetic material attached to the tone wheel and that as many as 14 cracks in the magnetic material are visible. For an undisclosed reason, FCA US did not include the RAM in Important Safety Recall W68/NHTSA 20V-475 (replacement of defective tone wheel) but rather kicked the can down the road and reprogrammed the software in the Powertrain Control Module under Safety Recall W58/NHTSA 20V-475. Based on material evidence of the failed tone wheel, it is clear that the RAM should have been included in the tone wheel replacement recall. FCA US refuses to cover the replacement of the defective tone wheel under Recall W68/NHTSA 20V-475 and extend the tone wheel warranty under FCA US Extended Warranty Letter X94. I am hopeful that NHTSA will compel FCA US aka Stellantis to include the vehicle(s) excluded from Recall W68/NHTSA 20V-475 and reimburse the owner(s) the cost(s) associated with the replacement of the defective tone wheel under Letter X94.

Tone wheel delaminating while driving. I was passing a vehicle in a passing zone and the truck lost power. Safety was definitely put at risk luckily there was no one in the on coming lane. Problem was confirmed by independent shop. Has an appt with manufacturer March 10th 2025. No prior warning lamps or other symptoms. I know there was recall about this certain issue, but the recall only changed the computer software, and didn’t actually fix the defective part.

Received Service ABS System/Service Electronic Braking System indication on HUDS. Brake System OBD-II Reader shows ABS Module Failure. Consulted local dealership and pre-purchased the replacement part in Nov 2024. To date (Feb 19th, 2025) the parts expected delivery date has been moved out one month at a time for the last 4 months. This part failure causes the braking system to operate in a conventional manner, meaning that when the brakes are applied, they actuate at all 4 wheels simultaneously. This results in loss of handling in wet conditions. Several instances I have had to apply the brakes in an emergency during wet road conditions and narrowly escaped collision with other motor vehicles. Additionally, Louisiana state inspection requirements state that the vehicle MUST pass safety inspection to be allowed on the road. With this failure of a critical safety system, I have been unable to operate my vehicle safely and legally on Louisiana roadways.

1. The ABS brake module has failed. We have gone into the dealership twice over the past year and a half and they have said they will order the parts and call us back and we have never received a call. When I called to try to get it resolved the parts department at the dealership says there is an Engineering hold note on the parts that has been there for over a year with no other details. This part is on recall for Dodge Rams from 2017-2024, but not for 2015 makes. 2. Our safety is put at risk as there is no functioning ABS break system when driving on the highway. 3. The problem has been confirmed by our local Dodge dealership and several 3rd party mechanics (Brakes Plus and an independent mechanic). 4. The ABS warning lights and brake lights are always on and will not shut off as a result.

I was driving to work one morning and my power steering just stopped working and the service power steering light lite up and luckily I was about to pass a gas station so I had to slow way down to turn the steering wheel to get into the lot I pulled to the gas pump to get fuel and shut the truck off and was hoping it would reset which it did but now when the truck is setting still running you can't turn the steering wheel unless you give it gas and start moving and it'll start working again.

My truck has internal ABS failure. 2015 Ram 1500. With the malfunction I lose power brakes, cruise control, traction control and all other ABS functions. There is a recall for other year trucks but not 2015 and they have the same exact issue. All of those lights light up on the dash upon start up.

On [XXX], I was driving my 2015 RAM 1500 EcoDiesel in [XXX] when all of the sudden it will not accelerate and a check engine lamp illuminated. It was a near-miss to getting into an accident because the truck drastically slowed-down and wouldn't continue to accelerate. Due to the urgency of the situation, I was prompted to bring the truck over to the nearest Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM dealership in Ontario. Scan diagnostics was initially performed and P0336 - Crankshaft Position Sensor Performance was detected. CDJR Dealership in Ontario further found out delamination and broken pieces on crankshaft tone wheel but only have addressed the recall pertaining to fuel pump (Recall No. 22V406000). The truck would exhibit prolong cranking followed by a "Service Electronic Throttle Control" warning sign that pops-up in the dashboard every time an attempt to start the engine will be made. This have been duplicated when at the dealership and multiple times after [XXX]. I have later found out that there was a prior recall associated with Loss of Crankshaft Position (Recall No.W58) that was launched back in August 20, 2020, however, the corrective measure didn't include parts replacement but only reprogramming. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles have: Service Recall W58/NHTSA 20V-475 that have been APPLIED (launched in March 20th, 2020; Repaired in March 13th, 2021 - reprogramming), and also Service Recall 66A / NHTSA 23V-411 that the dealership is NOT WANTING TO APPLY or COVER (launched in June 7th, 2023 - parts replacement). As such, there is a disconnect between the two Safety Recalls from Stellantis / FCA US LLC.

Engine coolant leak at the back of the engine, coming from the turbo coolant hose. My truck is in the year range for the recall, and is leaking bad. Recall said could cause fires.

The ABS light came on and we were told we’d have to replace that part and learned there was a recall so the part is on back order. Although the year of our truck is 2015 I believe this relates to the recall for the other ram trucks considering it’s the same problem.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the ABS, Traction Control, and Emergency Brake Warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed and determined that the ABS module had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 131,811.

I’ve had a complete loss of steering control while driving on highway coming home from work last night. There was no warning it just failed. I was able to manhandle the truck on the highway and limp home. My first thought I had my power steering pump fail but when I couldn’t find a pump on my engine I google search the problem and found out that this is a known issue but my truck was not included in the recall issued back in 2016.. I was completely unaware my 2015 Ram 1500 had this issue until it failed last night on me. I’m afraid to take to the dealer because I’m sure this will be a large repair bill. I wish they would include my vehicle in the recall!!

Rapid deceleration while at highway speeds

The check engine light has been on and the code and a message of fuel sender unit failure is on the message being displayed. The vehicle always shows empty even when filled. I never know if the the car is going to run out of fuel while I'm diving it on the road or highway. I have to keep very good records to estimate how many miles I'll get before needing to refill. I've seen recalls from other car makers for the same problem.

In August of 2024 I began receiving an error message in my vehicle stating "Service Electronic Breaking System" on the gauge cluster. I also noticed the dash lights indicating that the ABS and traction control were disabled. The vehicle remained in this state whenever the vehicle was running. While i was returning home from work i hit the breaks on the freeway and the breaks locked up and i began to slide due to the ABS not functioning properly. Thankfully there was no accident but obviously this is extremely unsafe and the vehicle cannot be driven in this condition. I made an appointment on August 26,2024 to have the vehicle inspected and serviced at the dealership where i purchased the vehicle. After some correspondence the service rep indicated that there were other vehicles in for service for the same issue. It is now 28 Jan 2025 as of the date of this submission and my vehicle has still been able to be repaired. After numerous inquires with the service department i was informed that the module in question was under Engineer Review at the manufacturer and they could not ship the part until that was complete. The ETA of completion has been pushed back several times ,everytime i enquire for an update and is currently projected at 19 February, I have also opened an inquiry with the manufacturer Ram Customer Care / Stellantis case for assistance and havent received much in the way of additional information or assistance.

While driving my truck with randomly loose power steering and this happens at all speeds. It will also make my dashboard go crazy move my dashboard measurement alol over the place like a haunted clock. It will also give me more messages such as service power steering, electronic throttle control, service shifter, service transmission, service airbags. This will then cause my car to not shift up or down a gear while driving. This will happen and then if I unplug my battery for 10 minutes or so it goes away and then will randomly come back same day or the next day. My power steering will go out whether I’m parked going 10 miles an hour or if I’m going 75 miles an hour which is a gigantic safety issue. My steering wheel will randomly lock up and my car with then to move left and right as it locks up. In addition the check engine will either light up or not light up and then will disappear. I did take my truck back to the dealership to where I purchased it and was not able to solve the issue they attempted to fix it for a total of 36 days two times of which they “fixed” it but then I’d be driving on the highway and it would be doing it all over again. This has been going on since October 21 2024 and is not safe to drive but don’t have a choice as it is my only means of transportation so I try to manage it the best I can. I see multiple posts online about the same thing I believe there needs to be a safety recall on this regarding the entire wiring system, the electronic power steering module or the electronic throttle module. This needs to be addressed.

Instrument cluster goes black. I have noticed a lot of people complaining about the same issue

The truck has 59,005 miles on it. Driving down the road the following alerts displayed: Service Antilock Brake System Service Electronic Brake System Service Trailer Brake System The truck is available for inspect. There were no symptoms prior to this event but has continually displays these warnings since the first time of displaying in October 2024. I have another car so I parked the truck and start it periodically but do not drive it. I was near home and able to drive there without incident. When I start the truck it immediately display the warnings. I am hesitant to drive it to an independent service center cause I don't know if the brake system will completely fail. In researching the warnings I found this to be a common issue with these trucks and found an NTSA recall for the same warnings for the truck but for different years.

LOSING STEERING FUNCTIONS (PER LIMITED RECALL). MY TRUCK WAS NOT LISTED IN THE RECALL OF ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILURE

Feels like the steering keeps going in and out one second it is okay the next it is very hard to steer were you can barely turn the wheel at all at any speed

I have my traction control light show up on the dash. Took my truck to a mechanic thinking it might be my ABS Sensors. The code came up showing I am in need of the ABS Control Module. This seems to have been recalled on many of the Ram trucks as recent as September 2024. Also doing a lot of research, this seems to have been an ongoing problem for Ram trucks 2014-2016. The dealerships currently do not have the replacement part # 68228991AD which will replace the original 68228991AA, AB, and AC. It is apparently in engineering review. With the snow my location just had, I can tell you I have lost traction on the road. I have also lost traction and had hard braking on dry pavement within the past few weeks which is why I took the truck to the mechanic and learned of the ABS Control Module needing replaced. This should be recalled on all of the Ram trucks not just the 2019, 2021-2024.

Electric power steering rack has failed. It's very, very hard to steer the vehicle. Happened when it was cold and snowy out. I'm lucky it occurred in my driveway, and I wasn't at speed on the highway! Dealer says it's a module in the steering rack. Quoted over 3k to replace the electronic power steering rack. I can't afford that... That kind of repair was never anticipated when I purchased this vehicle.

Exhaust manifold bolts failed resulting in a separation of the manifold from the engine block. Resulting in a loud “ticking” noise coming from the engine compartment. Vehicle was driven to a mechanic were new bolts were installed resulting in a several hundred dollar repair cost.

Truck loses power when you accelerate at any various moments. Forces you to put it in park and then I'll have to restart the engine and then it'll drive normal like nothing happen. Power steering is a little hard which cruise control doesn't work when this is happening.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the ABS, Traction Control, and Brake warning lights remained illuminated, and the brake pedal was not firm while depressed. The vehicle was taken to two local mechanics who diagnosed the ABS Module as faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The local dealer was notified and informed that the ABS module was on backorder and not available for purchase. The manufacturer has not yet contacted us. The failure mileage was 86,000,

On [XXX] numerous brake system warning dash lamps came on on your truck. I also noticed that once this happened the cruise control no longer works. The local RAM dealer could not inspect my truck for several days so I had an independent service center test it and he confirmed the anti-lock brake module had stopped working. I believe he also noted that error code(s) were detected. yes, it can be inspected. I drive the truck but do so without the use of the anti-lock brake system. Yes, the problem has been reproduced, and l've visited my local dealer and discussed the situation with them and they confirm that this has been an ongoing problem for over 2 years. Warning lamps only came on as soon as the problem started, though at the time I did not notice a problem as I did not have to slam on my breaks and make use of the anti-lock/anti-skid function. The service center and dealer both confirmed that the malfunctioning cruise control was definitely part of the module failure. Part # 68228991-AD (replaced part # 68228991-AB.

Service Antilock Brake System and Service Electronic Braking System warning lights keep coming on. Truck intermittently tries to stop.

Vehicle is flashing service electronic braking system/Traction controland break light flashing. Seem the issue is related to other year models with the HCU/brake motor recalls that have been issued. I'm looking at having to spend over $3k just to have the unit replaced at a dealership. I don't feel safe while driving my truck as the other day when in the rain it started driving crazy when I lost traction on wet pavement uphill. The truck started trying to auto correct because of the traction issues was throwing me from side to side on the road. I believe this to be a bigger problem with FCA vehicles than they are reporting. With the issue being identified as a manufacturer part and the majority of the parts being almost identical in design it seems they should recall more year models. Along with that the replacement is not all that different in design either. The brushes in the motor are sticking resulting in the motor not functioning properly. So now I'm stuck not feeling comfortable with any of the fixes even if the offered them to my year model if they are using the same motor design.

The power steering fails whenever the outside temperature is cold, below about 45 deg F. The failure occurs when the truck is started. The failire is very consistent, but again only when cold outside. When the failure occurs, after warming the engine compartment for 30-60 minutes and restarting the truck, the steering is then OK and the truck can be driven normally. When the failure occurs, the engine runs OK, and the truck can be operated, but without power steering it is very hard to drive safely. When the failure happens I have not tried to drive the car on roadways since it is very difficult to steer the truck. However, I am concerned that the steering failure could happen when driving, especially if the outiside temperature gets cold. I have consulted with an authorized RAM dealer and was told the electronic power steering module would need replacement, with estimated cost $3700. I decided against having the steering replaced, since the truck is usable once the engine warms. The dealer did not inspect the truck, since it only has failed on cold mornings in my driveway, so the failure and warning messages are gone once I drive it to the dealer. When the failure occurs there is a red message on the dashboard to "Service Power Steering". This message is somewhat redundant-- the lack of power steering is very evident as soon as you try to drive the truck.

ABS modules become defective and give errors. Mopar Part number 68228991AD has been discontinued with no new part number. This module affect stopping in icy and wet conditions. This is critical to the safety of the driver. Mopar needs to make an ABS module!!!

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at undisclosed speeds, the engine warning light illuminated. While driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle was difficult to steer. The vehicle went into LIMP Mode, and lost motive power. The contact was able to veer to the side of the road where the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the intake manifold and toner wheel needed to be replaced. The mechanic informed the contact that there was no fuel pressure. The crankshaft position speed sensor magnet sensor had delaminated. The DTC code: P0336-00 was displayed. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted, but no additional assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 133,000.

During colder weather the power steering does not work. Any time the temperature is below 65 the light blinks and there is no steering. Even after cleaning battery connections well and replacing the fuses it does not work. We were towing just fine in the afternoon then in the morning when we attempted to drive it was out!

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated while coming to a stop, the brake pedal was depressed due to the vehicle in front abruptly stopping with the ABS warning light illuminated. On several occasions, the brake pedal felt abnormal when depressed. On another occasion, the contact stated that the vehicle accelerated up to 30 MPH which caused the contact to rear-end another vehicle. The air bag did not deploy. No injuries were sustained, and no medical attention was provided. A Police report was filed with the Florida Highway Patrol and the report number was not provided to the contact. The vehicle was not towed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the ABS module failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and the contact was informed that no after-market parts were available. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact referenced an unknown recall related to the brake booster failure however the part was not available. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 188,635.

Electronic Power Steering unit/rack failed. Vehicle is available for inspection, although would need to be towed. My safety and other drivers around me has been put at risk due to losing all power steering while driving down the highway. All it would take is losing power steering in a curve on a major highway to cause a major accident. The Electronic Power Steering units on multiple year model Ram 1500's has been reported, my truck alone has lost steering once in October, and again for half of November up until today, December 3rd. My individual EPS has not been inspected by anyone. There is no warning light when the power steering fails, you will be driving along just fine and the next moment, your steering is lost and extremely difficult to move. Once you limp to safety and shut your truck off, a "Service Power Steering" message will pop up and remain on your dash until your power steering unit is replaced.

About a year ago my vehicles auto traction , brake light and abs light illuminated. The warning that my vehicle gives when I turn it on and start is braking system needs serviced and electrical breaking system needs serviced. The code that shows in diagnosis is abs brake module needs replaced. My brakes have not been right. The part has been back ordered for over a year. There are no parts and my dealer and Ram answer is it’s under engineering review till January 15. The dealership answer is get one from the junk yard which they’re aren’t any. I wouldn’t feel confident driving my grand babies with used brake parts. I was in an accident today because of brake failure and thankfully I didn’t hurt anyone in the car in front of me.

Approximately 1.5 years ago my 2015 Ram 1500 Antilock Brake light came on along with the messages service trailer brake system, service antilock brake system, and service electronic brake system. I have taken it to different dealers and auto mechanics to have it fixed only to be told that parts are no longer available. I was told by service department at dealer that I needed an ABS Module. I have checked with dealers for current availability of the parts numerous times since diagnosis only to be told that the part was still not available and that they did not have any idea when it would be available. I have been researching this problem and found this to be a common problem with Ram pickups. I have also found where a recall has been activated for 2019-2021 ram trucks with the same problem. This to me is a real safety issue that should be addressed and a recall activated for this and other older models with the same issue, as I have had a couple of incidents where I have had to apply heavy pressure to brakes to stop my vehicle only to have the brakes lock up causing me to nearly lose control of my vehicle. If this is not addressed, I feel that the issue could result in accidents, injury, or worse loss of life could occur. Thank you for your time.

ABS Control module fault No cruise control No traction control Service trailer brakes control Multiple dash warning lights on No fault code

ABS control module under engineering review Part not available, manufacturer has not supplied replacement part for 2 + years. Tens of Thousands of failures, some repeat failures and dealer will not replace with used part. Dealer will not cover cost to replace part which is unavailable. $1500.00 - $2000.00 cost to replace part knowing all new parts are faulty.

On my 2015 ram 1500, When it's gets cold out my EPS freezes up to the point where I cannot turn the wheels. I have to let my vehicle run for awhile to regain steering. It also keeps going out when I'm driving. Some days my steering will work fine and other days it doesn't. There is no warning light that comes on on the dash before the steering doesn't work.

Why is my truck not included on this safety recall.?. THANKS IN ADVANCE .

Subject: Complaint Regarding Camshaft and Lifter Failure in 2015 Ram 1500 5.7L V8 To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally submit a complaint regarding the camshaft and lifter failure in my 2015 Ram 1500 5.7L V8, which has only 141,000 miles. This issue began as a faint ticking sound—known commonly as the “Hemi tick”—and has progressively worsened, leading to severe internal engine damage. Now, I am faced with the need for a complete engine replacement. The “Hemi tick” is a widely recognized issue that often starts with a minor noise but is known to develop into serious mechanical failure in Hemi engines. Despite its prevalence, this issue is frequently dismissed until it causes significant and costly engine damage. In my situation, what began as a ticking noise has led to camshaft and lifter failure, which I now understand is a recurring defect in these vehicles. This situation presents a major safety concern. With these parts deteriorating from what appears to be a design flaw, there is a high risk of sudden engine failure while driving. The failure of the camshaft and lifters can lead to immediate loss of power, which could leave drivers stranded or in dangerous situations on highways and busy roads. Additionally, sudden engine failure at higher speeds could lead to loss of vehicle control, endangering not only the driver and passengers but also other motorists. I recently experienced this firsthand. Luckily, my family and I, were able to maintain control and get to safety. I believe that this widespread defect requires attention to ensure the safety of those on the road. I respectfully request that the NHTSA investigate the durability and reliability of the camshaft and lifters in Dodge Ram vehicles with Hemi engines and take appropriate action to address this safety risk. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that the NHTSA will act in the best interest of all drivers affected by this issue.

The vehicle was left at the local dealer for further diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure by the local dealer and the contact. The failure mileage was approximately 148,321.

I looked under the truck before a long trip and found a gas tank strap hanging oddly. Upon looking further into discovered the mount has rusted through. Doing some online research I have found this is a fairly common issue.

Air bad for rear seat warning light. I can’t drive with my kids in vehicle. Erratic fuel issues stalling bad computer gives faulty reading. Cause me to get in necessary maintenance. Suspension issues always shakes on highway.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the message that the ABS was unavailable was displayed and several unknown warning lights were illuminated.

ABS, traction control and BRAKE lights on continuously, took to shop to run diagnostic and was told the problem relates to the actuator leaking into the module which now both need to be replaced. Chrysler dealer states parts are "on back order" and have been for over 6 months due to"re-engineering" issues. Talked to several other Ram owners with same problem to hear they understand Stelantis has no intention of re-engineering due to cost and possible recall responsibility. This is a real safety issue, why has a recall not been initialized?

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated while her husband was driving 30 MPH and making a turn, the steering wheel was significantly difficult to turn. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the contact was informed that the Electric Power Steering (EPS) had failed; however, the part to do the repair was on an indefinite backorder.

The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

The ABS, traction control and emergency brake light all turned came up on the dashboard. I believe a past recall May 16, 2018 was of a wiring issue effecting the cruise control. Since all three lights have came on, the cruise control feature is not available for use. This is a concern within the Ram community and needs to be addressed.

Flooded cab resulting from cab leak from 3rd brake light has been fixed & mold remediation twice, while under warranty. Leak has begun again, along with the growth of dangerous mold that results under the back seats.

Antilock Brake System module has failed, causing the light on the dashboard, along with the traction control light, to stay on. This covers up any braking issues, as I am forced to drive with this light on; as Ram is not selling the ABS module, saying they are under "Engineering evaluation". The problem with my truck cannot be fixed at this time & I am forced to drive an unsafe vehicle. Reported to Ram, but no action taken to recall.

The contact stated that 2 weeks later the passenger side rotor, caliber, brake pad, and brake hose were replaced by another local dealer to balance the other repairs however the failure reoccurred. The first local dealer was contacted however, the contact was advised that the parts needed for the repair were on backorder. The contact reached out to the second unknown local dealer for a second opinion and they advised the contact that the part was not available. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 63,000.

Dear NHTSA, I am writing to express my disappointment regarding my experience with my 2015 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, particularly in relation to unresolved recalls and inadequate service from dealerships. Last year, I began experiencing significant issues with my truck, ultimately leading me to Southern Motors in Springfield. They diagnosed the problem as needing a new engine, which was concerning. However, my vehicle also had outstanding recalls, including one for the fuel pump, which I was informed they did not address and ended up being the issue with the engine in the first place but instead they informed me I would need to pay for a new engine roughly $20k. I then took my truck to Hayes Dodge Ram Jeep Chrysler in Gainesville, Georgia. While they did perform the recall for the fuel pump, I was charged $400 to update the system—an action I believed should have been covered under the recall. After this service, my truck continues to run poorly and still displays check engine lights related to a crankshaft sensor, which I understand is also under recall (number X94). This issue has not been addressed, further compounding my frustration. Given the circumstances, I am deeply concerned about the effectiveness of the recall process and the service I received. I would appreciate your investigation into this matter, as it not only affects my vehicle but potentially other consumers who may be facing similar issues with Ram trucks. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I hope to see improvements in the handling of recalls and service quality from dealerships.

ABS Modular is malfunctioning and recommended to be replaced. I have been waiting 1.5 years for this part and continue to be told it’s not available. My check engine light continues to be on and my car does not function as it should. The part is identified as needing to be fixed but no parts available. I’ve called multiple states and made over 100 calls over the year. I am stuck with a car not functioning correctly and told by RAM that I just need to wait. Thousands of people are waiting for this part I am told and other years have been recalled but not my year somehow. This is dangerous and my hands are tied. I am putting my family in danger daily driving or am out 20+k on a vehicle I can’t drive. This is ridiculous and not a decision I thought I’d have to make with a well known company like Ram.

Drove from North Carolina to Wisconsin [XXX] for a vacation, second day, [XXX], in Wisconsin went to start up my truck and had a "Service Power Steering" light appear on my dash. Steering wheel was extremely stiff to turn left and right. I tried disconnecting the positive terminal on the battery with no success. I called 3 different Dodge dealers in Wisconsin to see if they had any information on the issue. I was then notified of a possible Electric Power Steering (EPS) failure. Being 1,800 miles from home, this was not very exciting to hear. I was able to disconnect both terminals of the battery and get my power steering back in order to white-knuckle drive back home with the hopes of not losing my power steering while driving through the mountains. I will be calling my local dealer tomorrow, October 16, 2024 to inquire about possible steps to resolve this issue going forward.

I was driving on the highway when my power steering went completely out. I had no warning and had no idea what was happening. I could not steer my vehicle. There were other drivers all around me and they all had to avoid my truck. I gradually slowed down and was able to pull it off to the shoulder, almost getting in multiple accidents on the way. I called the closest dealer and they said it was a failure of the electrical power steering system. I was able to get my truck to the dealership. They inspected the truck and they said the part that failed was the power steering rack (Part #68628858AA) and that there was no recall for this system. My truck has now been in the shop for over two weeks and the dealership says this part is on backorder (Which is a clear indication that there is a bigger issue with this part). After doing some online research, I found there have been numerous reports of power steering issues and recalls for 2013-2016 Dodge Ram 1500s which makes me question why my vehicle wasn't included. This was a terrifying situation and I think this requires the attention of the NHTSA.

When driving the vehicle at 35 mph the vehicle jerks locks the wheels up and the vehicle revs up for a few seconds before returning to normal operational rpms. My vehicle has did this numerous times. Took it to dealership and been there for 2 months and said it was fixed the next day the vehicle did the same thing. Been an on-going issue for a year

ABS Module failed triggering BRAKE light service and ABS Service light, and the ESB light. 6 month + and counting to get this OEM module. Why are you not addressing the supply chain issue......

Driving on the highway and power steering failed. Almost got into an accident pulling off the highway. Power steering failure light came on the dashboard. Dealer told me the recall had nothing to do with my VIN. There was no accident to cause the problem. The truck is in overall great condition. I think there are many Ram 1500 trucks out there that fall under the 2016 power steering recall and mine is one of them. Quoted out $3,000 and no sign of a power steering rack available for who knows how long. Very discouraged and taken advantage of.

Service ABS Brake, Service Electronic Brake Throttle, Service Electronic Trailer Brake & Standard Brake dash lights are illuminated at all times. I have no Anti Lock Braking & Sway /Stability Control Light is on and I have No Stability nor anti sway control. This disrupts the Cruise Control from working. It has been confirmed by a local trusted mechanic shop. The Warning Lights have been on since June 2024. This is dangerous especially in rain and wet conditions. The truck has no traction control and fish tails at the slightest turn during acceleration.

Intermittent issue with power steering where the wheel becomes extremely hard to turn in both directions. Also have had issue where wheel will stop turning midway through a turn and when trying to return to center.

The crankshaft sensor and turn wheel had a recall of 2015. My Vin.# Did not make the list. Every where on line said the turn wheel magnets started breaking just after 100,000 miles. Mine broke just under 108,000 miles. It cost $2,969.33 to fix this. I want re-embursed!!!! The year, the millage, the problem all match up for this truck to be on the recall. They said Mine just needed an update. Wrong! It broke just like the others and cost me almost $3000. The mechanic called the magnetic piece that broke in the transmission the (turn wheel ) I think. Please look into this.

Air suspension has failed multiple times. The latest making it impossible to drive. Traction control also goes out with the air suspension, it's extremely difficult to maintain control on even the smoothest roads because every little bump jars the whole truck. The truck has been in the shop and they just keep finding issues that shouldn't even affect the suspension, like the heated steering wheel and tire sensors that have the suspension suspended. Warning messages that pop up include: service electronic breaking system, service trailer brake, service air suspension, check engine light has been on and off with the suspension issues and traction control light as well.

Because ofBad abs module not connecting to camper trailer brakes causes a very dangerous condition.

ABS Control Module failed and manufacture has not had a replacement available for at least a year and a half, they were supposed to be available March 2024 and that date has been pushed back every month. No one makes an aftermarket module either. Not having ABS on a Truck in Florida is very dangerous.

ABS, Brake, and traction light came on. Took my vehicle to dealership for diagnostic. The dealership stated it was caused by internal failure to ABS module and HCU. Parts are not available for repair due to parts engineering approval. This is a safety issue were the brakes could fail. Manufacturers should be responsible for repairs and recall vehicles for safety issues. How can the dealership say ABS is unavailable to order.

Was driving to store got to store came out vehicle won't start just keeps turning over. From others that have the same vehicle ecodiesel I'm told it's the tone wheel/crankshaft position. And that the cheap plastic housing chips which causes the no start. Also recall for high pressure fuel pump. And the closest dealership to me can't get my vehicle in for over a month and won't provide a loaner vehicle. I'm well over 2 hours from any other dealership. I bought this vehicle from a dodge ram dealership and was told "NO RECALLS PRESENT " they even had me sign a paper that stated that and gave me a carfax that so no recalls and no recalls ever. But turns out there are 18 recalls for this vehicle. Bought thus vehicle November 2023. So now this vehicle is sitting in my driveway not running and can't get it fixed because the closest dealership can't because they have 1 ONE technician, and no other dealership will tow it to get fix free of charge. All of the symptoms are related to both recalls. High pressure fuel pump, and tone wheel /crankshaft position. Lastly a LOT of people are having to replace the intake manifold regardless of milage for this type of motor.

No power going up hills, won't shift going down hill, park sensors lights come on, zero oil pressure then Electronic Throttle. From what I seen on internet and from others with the same issues it's due to high pressure fuel pump which has a recall on it. But when it was sold by the dealership in November 2023 the dealership said there was NO open recalls. But then I find out there is an open recall for the high pressure fuel pump. Now this issues keeps going on. And today September 6 2024 my vehicle lost all power and the fuel light and Electronic throttle Warning light came on and if I had not been in the right Lane and a turn in I would have been hit from behind!

ABS module has failed and is affecting steering, transmission and speedometer. Truck is not driveable and dealer cannot obtain the needed ABS module. Manufacturer is not supplying them. Truck spent June and July on dealer lot but no repair is possible. Truck was towed to my home and is useless in current condition.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 MPH, the vehicle shuddered and experienced a loss in motive power. The contact pulled over to the shoulder of the road and restarted the vehicle; however, upon arrival to the destination, there was black smoke coming from the rear exhaust.

Truck has less than 78k miles on it and I am the second owner. Bought it from a dealer and I mentioned to them that the rear end seemed to have some new metal pieces on it with silicone around it. Hard to imagine silicone used on a rear end. When I questioned it, the salesman stated that it was all set and fine. When I road tested it, there was a stiffness in the steering wheel. I mentioned that as well and was told that they steer hard. Then once home, it continued and that didn't sit quite right with me, so I continued to contact the dealership and they never would return my calls. Eventually, something gave and the steering was fine. We have had the truck a year as of May 2024. On [XXX] I was driving on the highway, at 70mph and the rear end just snapped on my truck! In the middle of the highway! I cannot see a drop of gear oil, if there should be some. Rear end snapped clear off to spline. No idea what caused this as of yet. Spent 2 weeks trying to get the dealership to return my calls, texts or emails. Then took time off work to drive over there. Service man told me that Chrysler may cover it, Chrysler said it was the dealerships responsibility. Unreal. Never have a I towed a single thing with this truck, the rear end never should have busted like this. I seen some recalls, but do not know why my particular truck was not listed. I did see another complaint on this site, regarding the axle breaking and causing the rear end to bust. I have not taken the truck apart as of yet. Nobody wants to take responsibility without severe out of pockets costs to me. I am already without a vehicle to get to work.

ON [XXX], I brought my truck to the dealer because the ABS light and traction control light were staying on. The dealer hooked it up to their diagnostic machine and it said the vehicle a Failed ABS Control Module. The dealer said that part was not available to April of 2024. I went back in April to the Dealer, Part still not Available! I called Ram Corporate and they said the part was in engineering. Today (August 22,2024) Ram Corporate called and said the part is at the dealer. (11months of waiting). I asked why wasn't there a recall on this item? i was very disappointed in the Ram Corporation. I felt like they should of covered the cost for this item. So now I'm writing this message to see if anyone else has this same issue, thanks, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Fuel Tank strap (Front) disconnected from the frame slot it is attached to. The frame slot is completely rusted out. This was a recall on earlier models and amended to include other years including my year (2015). Yet it does not come up as a recall for my vehicle. I've seen online that this is a common problem with the Ram 1500. Vehicle mileage is 50,575.

Engine seized while driving at freeway speeds. Complete and permanent loss of power to the vehicle without warning lamps, messages, or prior symptoms. Near collisions on freeway due to sudden loss of power and no power to maneuver the vehicle. Emergency tow required to remove myself and vehicle from soft center median with no guard rail. The manufacturer/dealership has inspected the vehicle. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request.

My power steering failed suddenly while driving in the middle of a turn. I nearly crashed into a group of people on a sidewalk because the wheel was nearly impossible to turn. I was given no warnings or indicators ahead of time. I now have the "Service Power Steering" light on my dash and it is still very difficult to turn my wheel. A reputable mechanic has inspected the issue and has identified that the power steering module is completely malfunctioning and they will need to replace it entirely (quoted $3500.00). I have seen that there was a recall specifically for power steering on 2015 Ram 1500's, but Fiat/Chrysler has advised that my VIN does not qualify for the recall. This sudden failure on the power steering is extremely dangerous and could cause loss of the life to drivers, passengers, or bystanders. Please urge Fiat/Chrysler to issue a recall on all 2015 Ram 1500's!

Tone wheel cracked, part available, at dealership currently very costly to fix

The steering in the truck prevents us from safely making necessary left and right turns when backing up and driving forward. It has caused near accidents and had it investigated at the local RAM dealership. The steering is defective, but will cause us thousands of dollars to replace because a recall has not been solidified. Fix this please for the safety of my children.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated while the vehicle was receiving a State Inspection, the mechanic diagnosed the vehicle with a small fuel leak, due to a faulty fuel cap.

ABS control module internal failure. Can't get a replacement park because this is such a problem. Local dealership says they have a list of over 100 customers who need this part. And it's a nation wide issue.

The steering system failed as I was about to begin backing up. A service light came on to service power steering. I no longer had any power assist to turn the wheel and it was nearly impossible to turn enough to get out of the traffic way. No fix has been performed yet.

I have replaced the rack and pinion on my truck 3 times so far. It keeps failing. This is unacceptable. There is obviously a problem and Ram has to address it. How is it possible only certain trucks qualify for a recall regarding the same exact thing. My truck is currently at the shop getting the rack and pinion replaced again. As they were trying to get the truck into the bay, due to the power steering not working, it was crashed into a pole. This needs to be resolved asap!

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving at approximately 70 MPH, the rear axle suddenly fractured causing the rear passenger’s side wheel to separate from the vehicle.

My truck wheel does not turn and I’m getting the service power steering on my dash with the red wheel and exclamation mark!!! Please advice why isn’t there a recall yet this been going on for a couple years now

Truck completely lost steering control while maneuvering. When trying to turn left the truck would violently turn the steering wheel to the right, and vise versa. Or just not turn at all. This is a major life safety issue and needs to be recalled immediately.

My truck, like those of numerous other Ram owners, has a malfunctioning ABS Control Module. Because of this malfunction, the ABS and cruise control do not work. In turn, this places me and other owners of this vehicle in an unsafe situation in that lack of an operating ABS system is conducive to skidding and accidents. Some owners have even reported that they cannot drive their vehicles due to locked brakes which resulted from this malfunction. I have a standing Brake , ABS , Anti Skid light and no Cruise control. All symptoms of a failed ABS Module. New Repair parts are not available from the Dealers or other Repair shops. Many trucks and drivers are at risk especially in winter weather or rain slick roads.

Unknown. ABS not working. Cruise control not working.

While traveling at 40 mph my steering locked and was unable to turn the wheel at all. By the time I stopped I was on the shoulder of the opposite lane. Lucky for me there was no traffic or else it would have been a head on collision. Had the truck towed and learned that the electronic steering failed and the replacement parts were 90 days plus on backorder. After searching 2 weeks found a used one in a junk yard. this problem will cause an accident that could easily be fatal.

The power steering went out as I was about to drive the 2015 Ram 1500. The vehicle is available for inspection. A warning light appeared on the dash..red steering wheel with red exclamation mark. I was not able to drive the truck as I could not turn the steering wheel. I had it towed to the local RAM dealer who gave me an estimate to replace steering rack and pinion. The truck has been garage kept and has less than 5,000 miles on it !!!

My truck has an issue with reading how much gas is in the truck. When I fill it up it goes to full but after about 40 miles it shows empty and the check engine light comes on. The vehicle has about 66500 miles on it. Talked to the dealer and was told it is a common problem with this vehicle.

Back in September 2023 my brake light and ABS light came on in my 2015 RAM 1500. I took it into the dealership where purchase the Truck and had purchased a extended warrantee from the manufacture at that time of purchase. They told me that I needed a new ABS module but they were on back order. They have given many date where they were suppose to have them back in stock and all have come and gone. Since September 2023 I have checked with them and the date keep moving all the while my cruise control do not work. This is an issue, can you please help?

While turning into a parking lot from the road, the steering locked up and was impossible to turn left or right. Basically stuck in the middle of the turn lane and parking lot. Flatbed tow truck was called and transported to a local repair shop.

I experienced partial loss of electric power steering or (EPS) while driving. if I turn the wheel roughly 30 degrees either way the power steering is out. There was no crash but this did happen while driving and I did have difficulty making a turn, if there was more traffic or if I was on a tighter road I could have easily hit someone else or run off the road. There were no warning lights or messages that indicate the problem before it happened or after. I've had a local dealership (where I bought the truck) and another independent service center inspect it and confirm that the EPS system is the problem and needs to be replaced. The local dealership wants over 6k for the repairs and refuses to work with me on that until this is an official recall. My understanding is that there is an open investigation on this issue, is there any timeline on when it could be resolved? My vehicle is available for inspection if necessary.

The contact owned a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while hauling a 2018 Jayco Hummingbird at 50 MPH, the "Low Voltage Battery" warning message appeared on the instrument panel. The contact immediately pulled over and exited the vehicle as white smoke began to emit from underneath the hood. The smoke quickly turned into flames as the contact attempted to extinguish the fire with a fire extinguisher. The contact used a total of three fire extinguishers in an attempt to extinguish the fire; however, the fire returned after each attempt. With the assistance of a fellow motorist, the contact managed to pour water over the entire engine which finally extinguished the fire. The authorities arrived at the scene and performed a thorough inspection of the vehicle to ensure that the fire was extinguished. A police report was filed. The contact suffered severe mental trauma as a result of the incident. The vehicle was initially towed to an independent tow yard but was later placed in the possession of the contact's insurance company. The dealer nor the manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle was deemed a total loss as a result of the fire. The failure mileage was approximately 122,000.

Upon startup the vehicle routinely fails to load the infotainment/center console. This failure prevents the operator from seeing the rear view camera. Nothing in the console comes online for several minutes and other times it loads just fine. It has occured on my truck more than 50 different times.

Safety recall 22V-406 was issued over two years ago, on 6-9-2022. The manufacturer is negligent, in that it has not addressed the problem and repaired the vehicle in a timely manner. The local dealer indicates they have no idea when the manufacturer will attempt to address the problem.

Abs module failure. No cruise control ,abs , trailer brakes, traction control. Parts in engineering review for over a year now. Call each month only to be told next month.

I previously sent a complaint regarding my vehicles CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. I took it to a dealership and I now have to wait for the part to be ordered! Then it is going to be about 2 weeks before it can be repaired! I was told by the dealership that this part had been on a recall list! So I feel someone should be responsible for fixing and paying for this repair! Approximately $1000! I bought the truck used so therefore the dealer I bought it from should have known this! Right?! HOLZHAUERS MOTORS..NASHVILLE ILLINOIS My truck is being repaired by ABSHER ARNOLD MOTORS MARION ILLINOIS NOW. This is close to where I now live.

Intermittent loss of power steering. Difficult to turn wheel at low speeds. Steering is tight then will loosen causing it to be difficult to control vehicle while turning. Ram dealer installed new steering rack and pinion which cost me $4,100 on May 15, 2024. However, steering problem is still occurring.

While driving my vehicle seemed to downshift (best way I can describe it) and then I had a CHECK ENGINE LIGHT come on and another type of warning light came on. I was able to get it to a place that put a tester on it and I got a DIAGNOSTIC CODE P0336. REPLACE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. I had to drive it home but it wasn't running right and is hard to start now. I have only had this truck since Dec. 2021 and this makes the 4th sensor that has messed up! I will call a dealer Monday to make a service appointment but I feel I shouldn't have to pay for this! Luckily I was able to drive it home. Can you help me? Thank you.

Hello, I have a Ram equipped with the Air Ride Suspension. It has been a long on going problem for me. It has been a safety concern as it involves with the Suspension of the vehicle and at random moments the front end of the truck will drop all the way down to the bump stops making it impossible to drive or steer. I have noticed I am not the only one and that plenty of other people have delt with this issue as well.

Fuel pump gauge not working. Fuel Gauge has failed to acknowledge any gas. It came on and off for a few days now for 2 days straight it stays on with a low fuel level and the gauge read zero.

Electric power steering rack module went bad. This is a known problem and can cause accidents.

When driving steering becomes stiff and almost uncontrollable. It happens intermittently however becoming more frequently and more stiff each time. No warning lamps or messages before, during or after it happens. When steering is stiff it makes it difficult to steer, like there is no power steering at all. It can be difficult to keep my truck in its correct lane while driving. This has been happening for several months now, I am not sure of specific date it started happening. Happens at various speeds between 35 and 65 MPH

Failure of the tone wheel on a 2015 Ram 1500 Ecodiesel. W58 recall dated 2/2021 was performed. ( a software repair for a mechanical issue) W68 recall also dated 2/2021 refers to the replacement of the tone wheel in certain Ram 1500 trucks. On 2/26/2024 My vehicle would not start following a lack Of acceleration/hesitation the night before on the freeway with my daughter driving late at night by herself! I Had to have the high pressure fuel system, fuel rails and injectors replaced due to metal shavings found. (All under a separate recall that had just come out) The dealer also said the tone wheel needed replacement and was the source of the inability to start and the hesitation in acceleration that was encountered. Ram refuses to cover the tone wheel despite the knowledge they have regarding the delaminating of the tone wheel. Supposedly the W58, a software update) was to over ride the mechanical issue of a delaminating tone wheel. How can a software update repair an obvious and known mechanical issue? Why was my vehicle given a “band-aide” and not repaired correctly? Why is the NHTSB allowing Ram to band-aide a mechanical issue that could cause serious injuries due to loss of power or acceleration in a traffic scenario. It makes absolutely no sense. Please look at this issue regarding the band-aide fix and enforce the correct decision in W68 to replace the defective mechanical part of ALL affected vehicles allowing the many many owners that have suffered financially due to their ineptitude in fixing the problem correctly the first time! I have been in contact with several people representing RAM with no satisfaction. While various service people sympathize with me and completely understand my point, they are unable to cover the tone wheel repair. It is Very frustrating to deal with customer reps from RAM outside of the dealership who have zero mechanical knowledge.

Dodge sent us a safety recall in May 2021 for Crankshaft Positioner Sensor and Toner Wheel faulty part. We took it to our local dodge dealership, they ran a computer test and said "it's fine" and sent us on our way. The car involuntarily stalled a few times while driving it the past few years. In February 2024, we took the vehicle in (AGAIN) to have the same issue looked at and they said the part needed to be replaced and said dodge will not pay for it and charged us $2900. Dodge is refusing to take accountability for this original safety recall and we are very concerned that our family was put at risk many times while driving this vehicle. Dodge new this part was a faulty part and refused to replace it.

In June of 2023 my ABS module went out part #68228991AD was told part was on back order till September 2023, this has continued so that as of this date I'm being told that expected part availability is April 2024. This part is a crucial Saftey part for the use of this vehicle. Beyond the lack of ABS breaking or traction control, the vehicle has lost cruise control, & brake control on a hill.

Electric Power steering it is now. I will try and keep it when repaired. The Truck would not turn with out using two hands and pulling and wasn't very responsive then. yes at an independent shop and at a dealer. No warning lights ever came on independent shop computer says working fine. Everything was fine and it quit working on a trip to the store. I'm glad my kid wasn't driving. I have drove old trucks without power assisted steering and had an idea how to get it to turn. Women and old people wouldn't be strong enough to turn it and would likely crash very dangerous. Mine obviously should have been recalled with the other 2015 models because it has failed just like them. I know this issue is still under investigation according to an article in August of 2023. This is a very dangerous situation when it happens my truck has only 113k on it. steering shouldn't ever fail at that low of use. These should be banned they are not safe.

Power steering hard to turn truck when driving.Very stiff.When driving on curvy highways Going right on slightly (curves) wheel fights back going left.Like a pulsating pull. With power steering you can turn the wheel with your finger right to left, but can’t with the stiffness. Haven’t had it checked out yet.

The vehicle experiences a loss of power steeing assist, extra steering effort is required especially at lower speeds, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. The electric power steering is problematic.

The engine seems to have failed. Yes it is available for inspection upon request. My safety was put at risk as the vehicle lost all power on the highway. Yes, the problem has been confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. Yes, the vehicle has been inspected, but due diligence needs to be done on the part of the inspectors to get at the root cause of the failure. No, that was one of the most alarming and scary parts is that there were no symptoms, warning messages, etc.

Steering is very hard all of a sudden

I was driving home from work and my electronic power steering gave out and came back and gave out repeatedly, no warning light or signs of this. Came home to google it and saw this was being investigated and wanted to share that I also am experiencing it. This is dangerous because it becomes INCREDIBLY hard to steer.

Vehicle would not restart after being shut off, thereby leaving me stranded on the side of the road in an area without cell phone reception or through-traffic, which led to me having to walk 7 miles at night while in below-freezing temperatures to get help. The engine component that failed was the tone wheel (part of the crank position sensing system). It failed without any warning. This engine component was previously subject to a recall (W58) that did not address the primary issue, which is the component's manufacturing/design defect that renders the vehicle inoperable as soon as it occurs. This defect can create life-threatening situations for drivers and passengers inside these vehicles when the defect occurs in uninhabited areas, as well as other motorists if the defect occurs on busy roadways. Many others have reported experiencing the same problem in vehicles with relatively low mileage, which is unique to this particular engine.

The dealership and Ram are refusing to fix my fuel pump because it’s older than 2020. They are saying they’re doing it by newer to older vehicles. I’ve been tryin to get my truck fixed as the pump is making squeals and tapping. I’m afraid of the damage it’s causing my engine and don’t understand why they can’t fix it when they have the parts.

My Ram 1500 has lost power several times while cruising at 55+. The first time was related to recall W58. My crank sensor became delaminated and caused my truck to completely die. After months of waiting I finally received my truck back, however, the recall is still open due to there being no fix. Just a few months later my truck died twice on the highway. This time it was due to recall Z46. After being sent from one person to the next all I am left with is I am on a list that is about 2 years behind for replacement parts.

I was traveling with my Ram 1500 Eco diesel truck pulling my camper when the Crankshaft position sensor on the transmission failed and my truck went into limp mode. I called the local ram dealership and they said they couldn't get me in for 5 days. I was staying in my camper off of the side of the road. So needing to do something I called another local shop and they got me in the next day and put it on diagnostics. Luckily they were an honest shop and they ran the truck and found out that this truck had a recall or extended manufacturers warranty for this sensor so they called the dealership for me and verified it. So I paid 150 dollars for the diagnostics and took my truck to the dealership to have the recall work on the sensor done. a week later I picked it up. I sent the 150 dollars receipt for the diagnostic work to FCA and they refuse to pay stating they don't pay for diagnostics. The only reason I had a diagnostic done was because of the failing part which turned out to be on recall or extended manufacturers warranty. I feel they owe me for this covered repaired. Please help me recoup my loss for this covered breakdown. Thank you, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Steering gets very stiff. Sometimes can not turn the wheel. Not good if it's moving in traffic.

ABS, Traction Control, and cruise control not functioning due to failed ABS module. The part # is 68228991AD and they have been on back order for over a year according to my local dealer where I purchased the vehicle; and with no ETA available on when one will become available.

The HPFP failed 9/15/23 in my ecodiesel traveling down the freeway in three lane traffic. I lost all acceleration , power. no brakes or power steering, I was nearly killed by several semi's because I lost all speed. It nearly caused a massive accident potentially killing me and several others in the process. I had seconds to react it left me traumatized from the event. I had to call a tow truck- which cost me $300- They left me stranded at the dealership in a different state hours from home with nothing. I was without my truck for a week. It was then taken back to my homestate and taken to a local dealership- in which they had it for a few weeks and said it was a dirty radiator filter charging $240 . I had my truck back for 4 days before it started doing the same exact thing and had to be taken back to the dealership. They then admitted it was the recall after all and said I was not allowed to remove it off the property but there was no fix. I was not given a loaner vehicle- I was not helped in any way- My truck is my own vehicle- Im a single female that commuted back and forth to work an hour away from home. They had my truck for 13 weeks- in which they said they did a work around - within 5 minutes of taking it- lost acceleration again, hesitating, multiple issues. Tried to get it back to the dealership- drove it a few times and again multiple issues- hesitations, no acceleration. Was in route to take it back to another diesel mechanic and it completely died and had to have it towed again which was another $500. The next day they said they couldn't fix it and it had to be put on a trailer and taken back over to the other dealership. They DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE!!!! They keep charging all this money- and my truck is still unsafe!!! I lost my job because of it. I have received zero help and absolutely no compensation. That truck is going to kill me or someone else in the process.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 75 MPH and attempting to accelerate while changing lanes, the vehicle suddenly lost motive power and was unable to accelerate properly to keep up with the flow of traffic.

There is a safety recall on this vehicle, recall number 22V-406, issued in June 2022, which still has no remedy. We are concerned about the safety of this vehicle and my wife has had many instances where she was trying to accelerate into traffic, and the vehicle stalled. This has been an ongoing issue, and we are afraid one day this will lead to an accident. I believe 2 years is more than enough time for a remedy to this to have been found. I have spoken to the service department at my local Ram dealership, and all they tell me is that the parts are not available. This is unacceptable, and we need this resolved.

I get two messages, SERVICE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM and SERVICE ELECTRONIC BRAKING SYSTEM, AND THE BRAKE LIGHT IS ON , ABS LIGHT AND TRACKING LIGHT. AFTENR READING ALL THE COMMENTS I REALLY DONT HAVE MONEY TO KEEP SPENDING ON REPAIRS AND THE ISSUSE JUST COMES BACK. I DON'T DRIVE OVER 50 MILES BECAUSE I AM AFRAID OF THE DANGER OF THE BRAKES.

Steering is partially failing. Hard to turn the steering wheel and can not turn as much.

Driving down the freeway Without warning vehicle dashboard started throwing out all kind of code warnings. Vehicle went into limp mode. Vehicle started on fire. Dealership states the blue def system was at fault. A problem this same dealer fixed just last year. At a cost of over $3000. This time with the fire the bill is over $8000. Not to mention the def system recall from a few years back where these components were suppose to be under an extended warranty. What is a consumer to do. We are at the mercy of these dealers Thank you [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

This has happened 3 time now and basically has been parked since. We have had it to the repair shop and they couldn't find anything. Repair shop even has contacts who work for Chrysler in CO. We live in SD, it's winter. So vehicle need to warm for some time before driving. On all 3 occasions vehicle was warmed up for 15-30 mins. Hop in pickup to leave our yard and shift into drive. Steering wheel acts as if it's still locked. 1st time it lasted 5-10 seconds, I forcibly tried with all of my might to turn the wheel but could not get it too. Also tried shifting though gears while rolling. It just suddenly unlocked. The 2nd and 3rd time it lasted 30-60 seconds before it unlock. As a parent this vehicle isn't safe. What if it locks up while driving at 80mph on the interstate while my kids are in the car with me? I do have a video of it but it won't allow me to upload it.

COMPLAINT/INCIDENT.On February 9th 2024, I was making a right hand turn onto main Street. My speed was under 10mph, closer to 5mph. . Without any warning or MIL, my truck suddenly went from easy steering to unable to move the steering column and jerked/locked the wheel by 90 degrees to the left. In other words, the steering wheel went from the 3:00 position and locked into place at the 12:00 position at the apex of the right turn. This put me on a path to driving into a 2story brick building. I was unable to accelerate and I was unable brake momentarily. The engine sputtered a few times; and that is when the MIL lit up on my dashboard stating “electronic power steering service” and “low battery voltage”. After the lights came on, the steering was brought back to normal along with the acceleration and my brakes. After the MIL displayed, steering resumed enough to pull into a parking spot. All of this occurred within 80ft from the apex of the corner to where the truck finally locked up. Total distance traveled 195 ft from start of turn to parked. The steering column and wheel completely locked up once in parking spot. I weigh about 230 lb and I could literally hang off the wheel without the wheel moving an inch.. At home, the power to the truck did not turn off like it normally would after 30 secs. The manual neutral transmission switch was pulled, which normally does not interfere with shutdown. After disengaging the truck powered off. However, I was unable to restart and only a clicking noise was heard. A battery booster jumpstarted successfully. No MIL on dash on startup. Surprisingly, the steering came back to normal. PART NUMBERS. The EPS numbers on the outside casing are P68242957AD and TIC2794A8134. Neither of these numbers have been listed in any of the documentation provided by the NHTSA on the power steering recall nor the reopened investigation.

Power steering is intermittently failing, making it hard to turn.

Power steering goes on and off, and sometimes works fine. but it can happen when you drive the car that is not safe.

Gas tank strap went through the frame. Gas tank fell off while driving down roadway. Dodge will not repair since the vehicle had come from Canada. No warning lights came on.

My power steering has suddenly became very stiff when turning left or right and the suddenly loosens up causing the truck to quickly shift left or right. It is every turn into a road or stop sign and there’s hesitation or a glitchy jerky feeling around curves going normal speed limit. There were no warning signals lights or errors before during or after the incident.

Whenever the ambient temperature gets below 40 deg F, the "Service Power Steering" warning message appears and the steering doesn't work. The fuse is OK. The battery is OK. The connections going to the steering rack don't have any corrosion on the pins. I opened the steering rack to see if there was any water infiltration that might be causing a short on the circuit board, but it is dry. I saw the 2015 Ram 1500 had a recall for steering issues, but my VIN didn't qualify for the recall. There are no parts available to fix this problem, which tells me this is a widespread issue with the Ram 1500 trucks.

My husband was driving the vehicle when the power steering failed momentarily. It went back to normal but since it is going in and out intermittently. The mechanic will be giving it this week

Drove the truck to work, parked it and the steering was normal. When i left work the steering was very heavy. I have not yet had it looked at by a repair shop.

Power steering very stiff, doesn't return to center. Intermittent normal to very stiff steering while driving. Reading that some have had steering totally " lock " up and not turn at all.

Electric power steering randomly stops working. Can be very dangerous when you’re turning sharp and expecting it to return to center after the turn and it doesn’t.

Fuel sensor failure warning w/ accompanying check engine light. Fuel gauge non-functional. I ran code on it (forget the exact code) but YouTube mechanic showed how to fix by changing out the Fuel Sensor, which I did. Engine light went away. Been fine for a month and a half. It's now back to doing it again. Fuel Sensor Failure. I can't keep replacing these things, we're on a tight budget. I don't want to run out of gas somewhere due to not knowing how much I have.

Power steering fail. 2015 Ram 1500

The back up camera may or may not work. yes 2 It would be easy to back over a small child. 3 The problem was reported to a dealer and was told it could be a bad wire or a faulty radio system that would be expensive to repair.4 no 5 It began to mostly not work a couple years back

Good morning! I own a 2015 Ram Ecodiesel. I am not the original owner. I am in California. The truck is not under warranty and the FCC will not help me nor the dealership. A few months ago I was towing my horses in a trailer and the truck started to lose acceleration, started to over heat, black smoke was coming out from under the hood, and it almost lost power going up a hill. It was very scary and it almost caused an accident and my horses were terrified. I barely got it to drive up the hill and pulled over to safe place. The truck was smoking black smoke, smelled terrible, and we felt in danger. I took truck to dealership in San Luis Obispo CA. It was diagnosed with a bad intake manifold, bad fuel lines, bad egr cooler. The estimate in costs was about $7,000. Luckily my husband is a mechanic and he performed the repairs. Than the truck was back up and running, no more black smoke, and it sounded better. On [XXX] I was hauling my horses and small only 2 horse trailer, same trailer, it’s small, not oversized or too big for my truck….. the truck started to lag, lose acceleration and drive slow, then it started a knocking sound….. then a high pitch noise….. this was terrifying as we were on a very busy freeway. I pulled over and the engine started to smoke and make horrible noises like knocking and high pitch screeches. My husband and I and our two horses were once again stranded with a broken down truck. This time on a very busy freeway, highway [XXX] in California. The truck was towed to the dealership that day. We were stranded for hours with horses and no water on side of a freeway. The truck was diagnosed by Santa maria, CA dodge ram Chrysler with a blown up engine, that must be completely replaced. The repair is $20,000 or more. This is a common issue in these trucks. This truck is dangerous and needs to be recalled and taken off the road. All of these engines are bad and they should all be bought back. They were ruined after the emissions scandal.

The lifter is ticking for no reason I always use royal purple in my 2015 ram 1500 now for no reason out of no where it started to tick just driving to work. Now the more I research I find out that these hemi 5.7 engines are well known to tick because of the lift. If these lifters are well known to go out why haven't a recall been activated to fix the problem. I love my ram truck but now I'm going to have to spend money to fix it that I don't not have. That should recall these vehicles because this how they will lose customers.

going around a curve and the steering wheel locked up. The steering wheel is unresponsive at times and seems to have dead spots when turning. There is also a dry screech when turning the steering wheel at low speeds.

The electric power steering fails when in low temperatures, Usually below 40 degrees. After the truck gets up to temperature the power steering starts working. It has not been inspected by anyone and it is unknown if it could be available for inspection. I have read on multiple forums of people having the same issue. There were no warning lamps present. It is a safety issue because it will happen when you are first taking off. For example it power steering will work coming down the driveway then when you get on the road it will go out, and after the truck gets to running temp. It will start working again.

ABS control unit and ABS pump failure, repaired and more failures. Repair is to keep buying new expensive parts that will fail again. This ABS system is poorly designed or the feedback control component is poorly designed. It doesn't work properly, repairing it is not answer, parts are back ordered for months or years AND IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE, HIGH SPEED SAFETY, WHERE PEOPLE DIE DUE TO NOT EMERGENCY STOPPING CORRECTLY. GET ON IT. HOW MANY FAILURES DO YOU NEED TO SEE?

The reason for the submission is regarding the unresolved safety recall, NHTSA Recall Number22V-406. Recall StatusRecall Incomplete, remedy not yet available Summary Some 2014-2020 MY Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles equipped with a 3.0L diesel engine may have been built with a high pressure fuel pump ("HPFP") that could fail prematurely. A HPFP failure may introduce internally failed component debris into the fuel system potentially causing fuel starvation. Safety Risk Fuel starvation may result in an unexpected loss of motive power, which can cause a vehicle to crash without prior warning.

Total ABS system failure at about 58k miles. Dash lights came on and chimes ringing. Took it in to the dealer for service, replaced ABS module and HCU. I drove for a week and problem came up again. Dealer said that ABS module was bad but HCU was good. Truck has been sitting at dealer since June 2023. They said that no parts are available across the U.S. and that Chrysler is reengineering ABS module. Parts weren't going to be available until March 2024, now it's April 2024.

Crankshift position sensor code PO366 was orginally fixed a couple years ago with a computer update. Now having the same issues hard to start and engine not firing correctly to safely merge with traffic. Been ran off road because it takes so long to get up to highway speeds. An independent service center has found the same issue. Not able to get into the dealer until after the new year. I was driving down the road and it just went sluggish then the warning light went on after I was on the side of the road.

*Intermittent/Random Loss of Power Steering. Yes, available for inspection. *When it fails vehicle becomes extremely difficult. Several of near crashes due to steering fail. I currently am not driving to the high risk and awaiting results and actions from NHTSA/Governments current investigations. *Dealer said my VIN is not covered under the current recalls. *I asked my dealer to inspect during oil change and tire rotation service. I do not know if they documented it in their system. It currently was not failing when they checked for codes/errors. *Red warning steering wheel indicator on dash during failures.

On August 27, 2023, on my home my 2015 RAM 1500 Eco Diesel lost all power at 70 mph and the "Electronic Throttle Control" light came on. I was able to get my truck home in "limp mode" and had it towed to the dealership the next day (August 28, 2023). Two weeks later, the dealership called and said that my truck had "fuel contamination" because there were "shavings and rust" in my fuel filter housing and it would cost $21k to replace the entire fuel system. I asked for a more thorough diagnostic because there is the open recall (Z46) on the vehicle related to the high-pressure fuel pump that will leave debris in the system. They then claimed that a "Stalantis engineer" looked at it and put a restriction on the vehicle to not be covered under recall warranty due to "fuel contamination." I asked for a detailed diagnostic report which they could not provide. I then filed a claim through Stalantis and went through a 2-month process and 4 different case managers who ultimately claimed that they couldn't cover it because of the fuel contamination restriction. So, I then filed an insurance claim who did their own investigation, including collecting a fuel sample from the truck tank, investigating the last fuel station I used, and interviewing the dealership. They concluded that the issue was due to the recall (specifically, the fuel pump leaving debris in my fuel system) and was NOT external fuel contamination. They also claimed that the dealership would not provide a diagnostic report. Consequently, this could not be covered as an insurance claim and should be covered under vehicle warranty. All that said, I have no other option but to file this complaint as Stalantis has not been willing to even consider covering the vehicle despite the open recall, and an independent investigation. It is also my understanding that there is no approved fix for this recall, however I've been without a vehicle or a path forward for 3-months and feel Stalantis owes its customers a solution.

No wreck related. But my truck just stopped running. It could of been bad if I was on a highway. The truck will not start or run. Diagnostic says it's, crank shaft positioning sensor. There is a recall for this but it's vin specific and mine is not listed. This could be a very deadly issue. No warning lights at all the truck just stopped running.

The crankshaft went out and needed to replace complete engine. I know other newer models ram 1500 trucks have the same problem but mine is a 2015, it was not listed on the recall.

Electronic power steering very hard and stiff. Slowly getting worse. No accident reported but major safety concern.

Electric power steering has failed on the vehicle. We are aware of a recall on trucks manufactured at the same time and wonder if our vehicle should be included in the recall.

I was driving down the highway at 65 when all of a sudden I lost my steering. No warning or anything.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that the driver's side and passenger’s side front headlight bulbs burned out.

In the Dashboard show the Check engine light, so when I check on computer show Code P1DF3, it kill my battery many times.

While driving at all speeds I lose my power steering. It appears it comes and goes while driving which is very dangerous. I did research and found that an open investigation is going on for 2015 Ram models that were built between January and September of 2015. Mine was built in June of 2015 but does not have an active recall. The cause of this is potentailly contaminated electric power steering unit circuit boards. I called Ram hot line and they said that my truck was not affected even though it falls within the date of mfg range and it is doing the exact same thing others described.

My 2015 ram steering locks up, can't turn the wheel, highly unsafe. There is a recall for 2015 Ram's that were manufactured from jan-sept. Mine was manufactured in June. A recall for the same issue I'm having, but for some reason my vin isn't attached to that recall. This is highly unsafe, it is clearly a manufacture defect. And rams helpline is completely unhelpful.

On the date of 10/24/2023 on my way home from work as I was exiting the freeway when I suddenly lost power steering thank god im only about 3 miles from home because it was extremely difficult to steer .

My truck is experiencing the “hemi tick”. Upon research, this tick is a common defect in RAM trucks that was supposed to be fixed in later models. Not true. Not only do I need to pay thousands for replacing the manifold, it will be a problem again. The hot/cold engine melds the aluminum and steel, creating a warped or split manifold. To replace it is immense labor, hence costly fees, as the bolts are too small to adequately remove and snap. If drilling out, metal could get into other parts of the engine causing severe damage. I bought this used at $30,000 miles (approx). Per my mechanic, the manifold has already been altered once. They claim it’s a safety concern, which includes “loss of power … especially at highway speeds. This is in addition to the repair costa and loss of value. The earliest appointment is a month away. Yes, it could be inspected upon request. It has been inspected by Arbos and G&D auto repair. Both whom are unable to remove the bolts and referred me to a dealership. I have an appointment with Hights Chrysler in Madison, Maine on Nov. 30th. The quotes I have received range from $500 to $2,000. The ‘warning’ is the ticking sound during idle.

The antilock brake electronic control module failed resulting in loss of antilock brake system, traction control and cruise control. The loss of antilock brakes caused a near miss.

The gas taps on my truck rusted out cause the gas tank to drop almost touching the highway. Re-call on 2014 and older trucks but none on 2015 and new with the same problem.

Took my truck in for engine light. Was told unfixable recall and they can’t give me vehicle back. That vehicle is my life. Without it I am unable to do what I need to do.

The electronic power steering has failed and does not currently work.

Exhaust manifold left and right warped. Exhaust manifold bolts broken left and right side. This causes exhaust leaks into cab of truck. This has been a problem with the Hemi engines for awhile now.

Power steering on left hand turns quits intermittently at different speeds. Right turns seem to be unaffected.

ABS module failure. No parts available. The vehicle goes into limp mode upon acceleration rendering the vehicle unsafe to drive.

Power steering intermittent failures

Engine hood latch failed. Hood would not close.

I HAVE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE OVER A YEAR AGO AND NO DEALER HAS THE PART. NOW MY PARKING SENSOR KEEPS COMING ON AND OFF. THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated while her husband was driving approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact's husband was able to veer to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed and the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel); however, the dealer informed the contact that the vehicle could not be repaired under the recall because the vehicle was missing an EGR. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, where the high-pressure fuel Pump (HPFP) was replaced; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was towed to a second dealer, Capital Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Indian Trail (5501 W Hwy 74, Monroe, NC 28110), who inspected the vehicle and informed the contact that the EGR system had been removed. The dealer contacted the manufacturer and later informed the contact the vehicle could not be repaired under NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel), 20V475000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) or 19V757000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) because the EGR system was missing. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 106,000.

While driving on the highway between Nenana and Fairbanks, AK, on August 9, 2023, I attempted to pass a slow moving RV towing a trailer. While in the passing lane, I accelerated and my vehicle suddenly loss power. I was forced to swerve out of the passing lane to avoid a collision with with oncoming traffic and the vehicle being passed. After that event, the vehicle would not exceed 3000rpms or 35mph up hills. Immediately after the event, the service engine light came on and the dash showed engine error codes. I took the vehicle to the dealer (Gene's Chrysler in Fairbanks Alaska). After inspection, they indicate that the magnetic surface of the engine tone wheel was delaminating and this initiated the sensor to cause a "limp mode" (mode that limits vehicle's speed). After that event, the vehicle also had trouble starting as though it was not receiving sufficient fuel. The dealer indicated that my vehicle's vin was not covered under the recall even though the problem matched NHTSA campaign number: 23V411. Stellantis’ own number for this recall is 66A. This recall is an expansion of recall 20V475. I feel that my vehicle needs to be added to this recall. Without my vehicle covered under this recall, my family is incurring the costs of a rental car until the new part arrives. The vehicle was dropped off at the dealer on August 23. The part is delayed and expected on October 15 (nearly a two month wait because of a vehicle defect that effects safety). The dealer indicated my vehicle is unsafe to drive. Why isn't my vehicle part of this recall? It is clearly the exact problem identified in the recall notice.

Intermittent steering loss All steering components replaced by dealer 2 years ago due to intermittent steering loss and the replacement unit is also experiencing same issue, intermittent steering loss. No warning lights or messages on vehicle now or the 1st time

I was driving my vehicle when suddenly I lost all control of power steering. The light came on and thank goodness I made it home safely as this was quite dangerous. I am EXTREMELY upset and annoyed that this has happened. When I research online it shows that there was a recall for my model year but only ~400 affected trucks. I do not feel this is accurate as I have experienced the same exact thing. After taking it to a Ram Company they have informed me it is a power steering issue and it has now been there over a week with the part continuously being pushed back as it is on back order. If the part is on back order I assume there is an influx of people also having this issue. I now am without a vehicle for who knows now as it is not safe to drive with no power steering and illegal to do so in all 50 states. Please contact me with further questions. Thank you

5.7L Hemi MDS lifter failure on a vehicle that has less than 96K miles. this is regarding the MDS system lifter and the cam shaft lobe slowly getting wore away until something fails. still available for inspection, i have not attempted to rebuild that cylinderhead bank yet. camshaft/lifter/valve failure at highway speeds could make the vehicle stall and potentially lose control if engine fully seizes or creates drag to the drive terrain. Dealership claims that the "tick" which is horrifically loud inside the passenger cabin on startup and less loud once the oil warms up. is "normal" for these trucks. I am planning on having a 3rd party mechanic give a second opinion before paying to have the engine rebuilt no warning lamps yet, I stopped using the vehicle after it was determined that the tick was indicative of engine failure on most Stellaris 5.7L hemis (challenger, ram 1500, etc.)

My truck has had an open recall for some time. The dealership (Coon Rapids Chrylser, Coon Rapids, MN) is putting me and my 4 children at risk by not diligently repairing my vehicles and ordering parts properly. I had service appointment scheduled to correct the recall. They only let you schedule the appointment when they receive the parts in stock. They confirmed they had the parts and I was contacted to schedule the repair. When I showed up the day of service, they said they only had one of the parts to replace and had to order another part so I had to reschedule. I rescheduled two days later and I confirmed at that time they had the new parts in stock. My service appointment was again today and I called to confirm they have the parts. They stated that they do not have the parts and they are 10 days away and my appointment needs to be rescheduled again. They keep delaying for some reason and their delay continues to put me at risk.

Steering lamp turned on dash. NO power steering. Vehicle very hard to control. Problem comes and goes when vehicle turned on and off. Maybe it will work...maybe it wont. Has happened for 3 months now. EXTREMELY dangerous. Vehicle is not driveable with this issue. Cost to repair: $3000 estimate. Mfgr SHOULD be repsonsible! Danger to ALL vehicles on road.

Powerstering failed. I'm going around a corner and lost my powersterinf and almost went into uncommon traffic. Just a few days later my dad told me he hurd a raidio show talking about my exact problem. I called a dealer and they told me they have no recalls. Now I am hearing the adds on the radio about 2015 and 2016 dodge rams having a contaminated circuit board. There were no worning lights at first but now I have a check engine light on. I had a local macanic look at the truck and he told me that he believes it's the contaminated circuit board.

Check engine light came on While driving up hill and shortly after I lost all throttle response and cruise control was disengaged. Vehicle started to slow and began to be sluggish. Still no throttle response. Pulled over. Put vehicle in park and then drive. Drove for next 2 hours with no issue. Checked with dealership and truck is throwing codes p066d and P0523. Truck has been fine so nice issue but still throwing those codes.

Shortly after the purchase we received a TSB for dim low beams. We took it to our dealer and they increased the voltage to the low beams using a scanner. They seemed ok but still seemed dim compared to our other vehicles. Since the purchase of this truck we have replaced the low beam headlamps 7 times. Doing research on this problem it is wide spread with no remedy or fix from RAM. Just google dim headlights 2015 RAM it will fill the screen. This is a major safety issue and needs to be addressed.

Intermittently loosing power steering at all Speeds. Very scary to drive.

The air suspension on this vehicle continuously fails I've had to replace the rear airbags multiple times as well as the air compressor it will fail while driving down the interstate if it sits overnight will come back out to a truck that's completely on the ground it will fail and drain all the air out of the rear airbags but not the front or the left side but not the right side especially in colder climates. The dealership near my house has told me that this is a major problem that they see all the time and the remedy that they suggested was removing the air suspension and replacing with a aftermarket air suspension delete kit or replacing the entire system which the front air spring and shock assembly each cost $1,800 the rear air spring costs $1,400 and the pump is almost $3,000 the lines all together add up to about $1,000 and the labor to have this done is another two to $3,000 Plus refilling the system with nitrogen the dealership said even doing all of this it might last 2 years it might last 6 months. I did buy this vehicle used and was unaware of the issues that this vehicle has had with this system when I purchased the vehicle I have now found that this is an extremely common problem that the manufacturer has ignored I'm lucky that I am a skilled and experienced driver and am able to handle these issues but if my wife had to deal with this it could have resulted in a major accident crash or her death. When the entire side of the vehicle drops two to three inches out of nowhere at highway speeds. And this is not a single occurrence this has happened at least a hundred times over the last winter and now became more prominent during the hot humid days of summer

The vehicle has experienced multiple Turbo underboost code causing the vehicle to be put into limp mode without any explanation, Rhyme or Reason. The vehicle once this code is tripped places the vehicle into limp mode at which time virtually all power is lost this is now happened three different times with no explanation completely randomly the last time was when pulling a trailer uphill resulting in a near crash experience and being stranded on the side of the highway I had to force reset the computer by cycling the ignition to get the code to go away there was no problems prior to this code popping up or after. When this occurs it can be extremely dangerous when at highway speeds considering that the vehicle goes into limp mode and you're no longer able to go more than 10 miles an hour let alone if you're pulling a trailer it's virtually impossible to move the vehicle and if you're going uphill on a two-lane Highway with fully loaded 18 wheelers behind you at 65 mph and you all of a sudden come to a crawl you can see how this poses a major risk for injury or accident

The electronic power steering rack failed. It became dangerous as the power steering would go in and out, therefore, putting myself and others at the risk of a collision or crash. The dodge dealership was able to replace the unit, but it took 1-1/2 months as the part was on backorder and it cost $3,600. There was a recall on this exact issue for my same model and year, however, I was told my truck was not part of the recall.

Both of the front seat belts quit retracting, causing looseness in the belt.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, the steering wheel became firm. There was no warning light illuminated. The dealer was contacted and stated that the vehicle was not under NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V167000 (Steering). The vehicle was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the vehicle was not included in the recall. The contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was 75,000.

The Power Steering in my vehicle fails while driving. It works sometimes and then stops working. This happens while driving. This is extremely dangerous to myself and others as it becomes very difficult to steer the vehicle while driving.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 MPH, the vehicle lost power steering functionality and the steering wheel became difficult to turn in direction while attempting to switch lanes. Later while driving at an undisclosed speed, the braking system failed with the ABS warning light illuminated before the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who diagnosed that the electronic steering rack and lower steering shaft and bolts were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 116,000.

I noticed that every time I went out to drive my 2015 Ram 1500 somewhere that the steering would get hard to turn. This would happen on and off every time and seems to be progressively getting worst. I started researching the power steering figuring that I need fluid only to learn that the power steering is an electrical assist system. I then read more about the investigation and what could happen. I currently have not driven much and am scheduled to take it in to the dealership for repair.

Power steering went out while driving. This is a common problem with this year truck. I spent $3600 on a new rack and pinion. This should be a recall. The truck only has 80k miles on it.

My power steering locked up while driving causing me to run over a curb damaging my tire on the front right side and possibly undercarriage damage

My steering when out and says check power steering on dash

Approximately 8/1/23 upon starting the truck I found that the power steering was sluggish. I did not lose control but found some resistance when turning the steering wheel. The power steering fluid was not low and there were no indication of any leakage. This lasted two to three days and then cleared up on its own. On 8/15/23 it was driven to several destinations and the steering was optimum. Upon starting the truck after my last stop the power steering was again sluggish , worse than the previous episode. I had seen on television after the first occurrence that the Ram1500 was once recalled due to power steering problems and my vehicle falls into the manufacture date for known problems. This is available for inspection and there was no accident. It does pose a hazard if it starts while I am driving. The truck has not been confirmed by a dealer or service center but I have spoke to one.

The electric power steering on my 2015 ram 1500 Slt v8 5.7L quad cab has went out. I keep calling dodge dealerships and have even contacted NHSTA about the issue and I keep being told there is no recall on the power steering yet I keep seeing news reports all over the internet and TV about ram recalls on electric power steering years 13-16. The power steering went out on me as I was drive home and nearly cause an accident on the highway.

According to Ram, some vehicles have a faulty circuit board that may cause the electronic steering to fail. I'm currently experiencing intermittent steering loss, that jolts the wheel. This seems dangerous and ram should replace it asap.

While driving my 2015 Ram 1500 with my children it suddenly with no warning stopped every electrical component went dead and was unable to restart it. Since it is a turn dial gear shift it had to be put in neutral using the pull handle. The truck was completely disabled including the steering wheel. This is a major safety issue as it could cause a serious or even fatal accident because I lost all power and all control of the truck with no way to safely get out of traffic. The dealership has had my vehicle since July 3rd stated that a RF module failed due to water damage caused by a leak from the rear glass/3rd brake light caused by a defect from Dodge. It is now August 11 and they still do not have the parts to replace the module that failed and possibly may have it on the 18th. This is a major safety hazard since there is no warning to the sudden power loss and shut down of the vehicle while driving. This is not a new or isolated issue with these Rams as there is currently a lawsuit in federal court in Michigan Norman v, FCA US LLC for this exact issue and Ram has issued a TSB S2023000024 in April proving they are aware of the water intrusion issue.

Steering issues, it is becoming difficult, as the steering wheel is getting harder to turn at times or either to loose. The steering is partially crooked as well. I have had an alignment completed on 8/3/2023, but the issue is still there.

Power Steering in and out. Could be driving and making a turn and all of a sudden the power steering fails and wheel tightens up

Had a medical issue and loss of consciousness while heading to work. Was wearing a seatbelt, cruise was set at 57. Vehicle left the road and hit a tree head on. Airbags did not deploy and driver sustained vision loss and development of thoracic fusiform aneurysm from the impact.

Power steering appeared to malfunction. Vehicle was difficult to steer, and wheel would not return to center when turning to the left. Problem is intermittent, dealer/mechanic has not replicated the issue, and there is no police or insurance report to go witn it as there was no accident. Visual inspection of the vehicle show no broke or worn suspension components. No warning lights were present, and no symptoms leading up to the event. The concern started about a week ago on 8/2/23

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 65 MPH, the vehicle lost power steering functionality, and the contact pulled off the roadway. The power steering warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and was diagnosed with an electronic power steering (EPS) unit failure. The vehicle was repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related it to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V167000 (Steering) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but was unable to assist. The failure mileage was 86,500.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the power steering assist intermittently failed to operate as needed, without warning. Over time, the failure became more frequent and excessive force was needed to steer the vehicle. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer and was informed that the VIN was not under recall. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while his son was driving at an undisclosed speed and attempting to turn into the driveway, the vehicle lost EPS functionality. After restarting the vehicle, the vehicle seemed to return to normal functionality, but the failure had since become a regular failure. The EPS warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the EPS unit. The vehicle was repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related it to NHTSA Campaign Number 16V167000 (Steering), but the VIN was not included. Upon further investigation, the contact became aware of NHTSA Action Number: RQ23003 (Steering). The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 56,000.

The power steering failed while driving at 60 mph putting me and my wife and other motorists at dangerous risk. The truck has been parked and unable to drive. There was no previous warning until the power assist failed and locked up also before stopping the only warning was when this happened driving and the message was service power steering and a red blinking icon

I was pulling out from my street that connects to a two lane highway. From my street you can see if cars are coming from quite a distance away. There was a semi truck in the distance going east bound in the direction I needed to torn into. There was absolutely enough room for me to merge out into the east bound lane without the semi truck even being affected. I was now about a 1/4 mile down the road and the semi was still aways back. Then, my truck started to sputter and not accelerate and as this a two lane road there at this point was nowhere to pull over. The semi was now coming up quick due to loss of power in my truck. I turned on my hazards by this time he was close and had to make an evasive lane change to avoid running into the back of me. Luckily, there was no on coming traffic. This is not the first incident of my truck losing power and almost being rear-ended. I purchased the truck from a dealer in December of 2022. They have not been of any help, and frankly they are not willing to do a thing to help. I'm at a loss and have no idea what to do. I feel I was sold a truck with a potentially dangerous recall that can cause a major car accident which could result in death. There is no resolve for this recall at this time. This recall not only puts my family at risk, it endangers the general public.

I was driving home when the power steering suddenly failed and I received an emergency alert on my dashboard simultaneously. I was in the middle of heavy traffic and I had cars to my left and a curb and sidewalk to my right. There was no prior warning to this event. There was nowhere for me to pull over when the incident occurred, but I was able to nurse the vehicle to my home. I took the vehicle to my dealer where they determined that I needed a complete new rack and pinion power steering. Dealer installed NAPA approved part which cost me $1878.28 plus $390.89 for the installation. Total cost of this specific repair was $2269.17. The incident and repair took place in October 2022. The NAPA approved part was selected due to the timeliness of the repair needed.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle violently jerked while accelerated. No warning lights was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the tone rings delaminated and failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact referenced the NHTSA Campaign Number 20V475000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and the contact was informed that the VIN was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was approximately 152,000. The VIN was not available.

I own a 2015 Ram 1500 earlier this year I got a message on the vehicle indicating to service electronic braking system. The ABS light along with the Traction Control light and the Brake light came on at the same time. I took the vehicle to a mechanic to have it checked out. He indicated that the electronic braking module had failed and that it needed to be replaced. The part is not available anywhere. I have contacted dealers in different states as well as other Ram parts stores and it is not available. I have been trying to get this part for over 7 months. According to the mechanic the vehicle's ABS function will not work without this part nor the traction control either. Brakes work like the days of old pre ABS. When I contacted Ram they told me to have the dealer order the part and they could expedite it but the dealers tell me they can't order the part since it shows under engineering review and shows in their system the part will not be available until March 2024. How is it possible that a U.S. automobile manufacturer can not have a vital safety part unavailable for over a year. It is obvious that the part is faulty since it isn't available and there are numerous posts online from other Dodge, Ram and Chrysler owners that have had to replace this part. The part number my specific model is 68228991AD. It is my understanding that this same part is also used in Chrysler, Dodge, RAM, and Jeep models.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the vehicle lost automotive power and there was no warning light illuminated. The contact pulled over to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where the high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) was replaced; however, several months later, the failure recurred. The contact later received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The vehicle was then towed to Marion Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (44 Worley Rd, Marion, NC 28752) where it was diagnosed that the high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) needed to be replaced a second time. The dealer confirmed that the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 70,999. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

WHILE MOVING TO SOUTH CAROLINA i NOTICED THAT SOMETHING WAS HANGING, A WIRE OR SOME TYP IF LINE, AS I CRAWLED UNDER THE TRUCK, I FOUND THAT IT WAS THE FUEL TANK STRAP. THE STRAP HAD PULLED OUT FROM THE FRAME THAT WAS CORRODED. I HAVE ALWAYS WASHED THE UNDER CARRIAGE COMING FROM MASSACHUSSETTS AND THE ROAD SALT. AT THE PRESENT TIME I AM USING A TIE DOWN STRAP TO SECURE IN PLACE. SEARCHING THE INTERNET, I FOUND THAT THERE IS SOME TYPE OF RECALL BUT NEVER RECIEVED ANYTHING IN WRITTING.

High pressure fuel pump may fail prematurely. Recall dated June 9, 2022 and after more than a year there is still no remedy.

The exhaust manifolds have cracked. This can lead to dangerous fumes getting into cab and extra pollutants to the atmosphere. It can also cause premature engine failure which could be deadly if it happens while driving. This is a known defect with this engine. Thank you

Air suspension began to fail over and over while driving causing the vehicle to become unstable. First dealer says it’s a air compressor, then it’s the manifold that controls the air, then they aren’t sure why it kept happening ended up needing to replace the rear air bags because they kept failing. Major safety concern almost flew off the highway because of how quickly the air got dumped.

While driving at low speeds the steering becomes difficult like the electric power steering is failing. It’s intermittent but is becoming more consistent. Feels like the power steering system is failing.

high pressure fuel system completely replaced after recall and it broke down again with same symptoms.

This is the 2nd Dodge pickup with an exhaust manifold defect. My 2004 Dodge Ram and now my 2015. This is a wide spread well known defect that should be corrected.

The vehicle loss power why I was attempting to accelerate on the highway. I observed ticking noise from the engine that progressively got louder and began knocking noise that eventually caused the vehicle to under perform. I took vehicle to dealer and they informed me of a damaged lifter in cylinder #5 the damaged cylinder camshaft.

With only 68,000 miles on the vehicle the engine has experienced a cam failure causing a fire and explosion hazard. Gas backfires through the carb, engine shakes really bad at idle, and engine misses while applying power to the engine going down the road at all speeds. Ten thousands of hemi engine failures reported on online forums. Also had to replace both exhaust manifolds around 50k miles. The bolts cracked and gave way. Ten of thousands of this issue reported online forums as well. Truck was bought as a demo with 2k on the vehicle at Edie Chrysler Bismarck ND.

I was driving down the road on Monday, June 27, 2023 at about 50 mph. All of a sudden the engine just seemed to go into limp mode and slowed down rapidly. The power was gone and the car seemed to not go over 35mph. The after driving another 1/2 mile I arrived at work. When I tried to turn off the engine and restart it was difficult. There was a long crank and then started. I got the car to the dealership and they say it threw a ode of P0336 which is for a Crankshaft Position Sensor and I needed a new Reluctator/tone wheel and crankshaft position sensor for $2,300. In researching the problem on your site I saw there was a recall but my VIN isn't included. Why? I also reviewed many Ram forums and I saw many similar complaints by Ram owners having the same problem and not being included int eh recall. It sounds like Fiat Chrysler gave the NHTSA some bogus info to limit the recall coverage. Its time the NHTSA force them to expand the recall to all EcoDiesels!. They clearly have not corrected the issue in their product! Its very unsafe at highway speeds and someone is going to get hurt.

I purchased this truck brand new and am the original owner. This truck has been in the dealers procession probably over 50 times and in the shop probably close to 200 days. Most all repairs have been about computer, smog, or other engine problems. Chrysler has extended my warranty out into 2025 and extended the miles to 125k . I currently have 82k miles. It just was in the dealer 1 month ago and currently has check engine light on again. They state it is for a recall they have no current fix for and it sounds like their not even working on one. I was told that this years model with the 3.0 diesel will be the last. I went to then ask for a trade in value from a Ram Chrysler dealer, and was told they could only give me low auction value. I have an additional over $7k in improvements that I will loose. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you

I believe that Ram and It’s parent company have intentionally not provided a recall fix for recall z46. If Ram refuses to provide a fix for the problem, and I’m forced to drive the vehicle that could stall and crash at any time is absolutely a safety hazard. I’ve contacted Ram cares and was told that if I’m not comfortable driving the vehicle, to just park it and wait for a fix. This company not only provides faulty and unsafe vehicles but then forces its owner to drive them with no fix provided.

catastrophic engine failure due to the failed high pressure fuel pump, last year march 2022 my truck started stalling then lost all power to the engine the truck would not start . i took the truck to my mechanic where he Found no crank signal while engine cranking and sounded to be out of time. he Tested fuel flow from lift pump and found it to be correct. Tested injector weep line return flow and found no return this is normal ,Tested fuel flow regulator at high pressure pump and also found no return while cranking this is normal. These test indicated that the high pressure pump has fail. Installed new high pressure pump and still no pressure. Removed pump and noticed it had not rotated from its timed installed location. This indicated that the drive gear is not rotating the pump and there is internal damage to engine. this damage happened due to the filed fuel pump.

2015 RAM 1500-Consumer states "truck stopped going 75 miles per hour" on the highway. Consumers husband had to pull over to the shoulder & truck refused to start again. Consumers husband call for a tow. The tow trucks policy is one rider. Consumers son is disable and relies on father to drive. Consumer states: "This left my husband to the mercy to flag down a car and ask them if they could take my son. That may not sound like a huge deal, but my son's disability causes him not to know directions or place and space. The fear of getting in a car with completely and total strangers, hoping they would take him to Paducah was horrifying to him and me. He's still having fearful thought about that event. He chewed his finger nails so bad that the hotel towel was covered with blood from anxiety. It was completely and utterly ridiculous. Two days were spent trying to figure out what the issue was with the Truck. The dealership put in a new computer board, that wasn't the issue. We got charged for that part. After the final analysis we were told it was the fuel pump and it was on recall. The time estimation to fix the truck was given 45 days to 3+ month - if not more- as the part has still not been created for this recall. We had to rent a vehicle for a month, costing $1,900.00. I called the Ram customer service 6 times just to be told by a Kelly that she would not give me a supervisor as I was requesting that the computer part ($850) and the month rental ($1,900.00) be reimbursed to us 35 there is no ETA of when we will get our vehicle hack. Case #86107003. We later were told that it has been stated that sometime the vehicles catch on fire due to this default. That's very scary as my husband said he could smell gas. Since the "customer service" agents did NOT allow me to speak to their supervisor's I was left to basically deal with a very expensive and unresolved loss of our vehicle due to RAM. They literal have given us no assistance or time frame of when our truck will be fixed. I am requesting that our expenses of the computer board and the month car rental be covered, as this is a expense and hardship put upon us due to this recall. I am requesting that the $2,750.00 be refunded to us."

I’ve experienced 3 separate incidents with this truck that resulted in the engine shutting down while in transit as follows: 12/6/2019: engine stalled when accelerating up a hill. Used momentum to pull mostly out of traffic lane. Towed to dealer where crankshaft positioning sensor was replaced under an extended warranty associated with the Ram Ecodiesel emissions related class action settlement. 5/21/2021: engine stalled while towing a boat up hill on the interstate. Had to cross right lane traffic to the shoulder causing traffic behind and to the side to swerve and honk. Just made it to the shoulder. Diesel fuel was leaking. Towed to local diesel shop where high pressure fuel line was replaced at my expense. This would have been replaced under the aforementioned warranty had it been towed to a Ram service center. 5/28/2023: engine stalled while towing a boat on the interstate. Coasted to the right lane and down an exit where I made it to the shoulder. Had it towed to the nearest dealer who reported the engine as seized and in need of replacement. Ram customer service will not discuss any financial assistance in replacing the engine or in the cost of an engine tear down to determine the cause of the failure even though it’s possibly related to the outstanding fuel pump recall or the previously mentioned emissions recall . In all instances, especially those on the interstates, I felt that I was at risk of being involved in or causing an accident as I had no control over maintaining forward momentum. I opened a case with FCA Customer Care (case# 86310172 ) but they will not share the case information with me for reasons of policy, so I’ve no documentation to upload other than the engine replacement repair doc from the dealer. The information below reflects the latest incident.

Dear Sir or Madame, The purpose of the communication calls into question New Jersey Turnpike Authority, Interstate commerce, The Public Safety and US Constitutional Law. On 3/31/2023, [XXX](me) was traveling on New Jersey Turnpike. Tickets are issued at the entrance terminal (for CASH commerce) and drivers pay tollbooth attendants at exits by either CASH or EZ PASS (transponders). At Exit 2, on New Jersey Turnpike, a Tollbooth Attendant was absent, 3/31/2023 at 0434. The fee from the entrance terminal, on the New Jersey Turnpike, to exit 2, on the New Jersey Turnpike, is $2.05. I stopped and waited for tollbooth attendant at exit 2 on NJTP. I proceeded on route for my own safety and that of my own property, including a newly-purchased light utility vehicle registered in a different state other than NJ, assuming the obstruction was construction because safety cones diverted traffic in one of the 2 outgoing lanes (the EZ PASS lane, not the CASH lane). I received letter from New Jersey Turnpike Authority (NJTPA) headed FINAL NOTICE OF ENFORCEMENT ACTION on 5/25/2023 for $82.50. Parallel construction is a law enforcement process of building a parallel, or separate, evidentiary basis for a criminal investigation in order to conceal how an investigation actually began. In the US, a particular form is called evidence laundering, where one police officer (or NJTPA) obtains evidence via means that are in violation of the Fourth Amendment's protection against unreasonable searches and seizures, and then passes it on to another officer or agency, who builds on it and gets it accepted by other courts under good-faith exceptions as applied by the second officer, or agency in question. Exhausting evidence laundering gained momentum in the Supreme Court: 2009 ([XXX] v. United States). The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States NJTPA evidence consists of a motion detection picture which alerts NJTPA to EZ PASS commerce without EZ INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Rapid loss of coolant over rear of engine and transmission bell housing. Danger of overheating and fire. The cause of the rapid coolant loss is a common well known problem - turbo coolant pipe! Of course the small tube requires cab off the repair - design flaw!! Additionally, being a known issues and the part that fails is rubber, FCA has not issued a recall or TSB for the replacement of the rubber part with a much more durable siliconized part. My rapid coolant loss occurred on a busy highway and the vehicle required towing - not safe!!!! BIG design flaw and safety issue!!!!!

Both manifolds were leaking exhaust into the cab causing an unsafe environment for the occupants inside the truck. With only 68,700 miles on the truck it was discovered the passenger side exhaust manifold had several broken bolts. It was also discover driver side had cracked exhaust gasket. Now the engine ticks with just 68,700 miles on it. The mechanic is telling me I need a new engine. Truck was purchased new and had regular scheduled maintenance. I think these costly and sufficient repairs should be covered by the manufacturer. Too many failures in this engine to be coincidental.

i was traveling about 70 mph on the highway when i hit the accelerator to go around somebody and when i did the vehicle lost power and went into limp mode. service electronic throttle and check engine light came on. took truck to the dealership and they said it was the tone ring. this problem was already a recall in 2020 for this issue but the recall just make the truck start after this malfunction happens. the tone ring is held on my magnetic components. if this tone ring fails every 50 thousand miles which is a great safety hazard as it causes the vehicle to lose power especially on the highway then this needs to be completely covered by a recall even if the issue isn't resolvable. im quoted $1,700 for the tone ring replacement and the truck has been sitting at the dealership for 2 weeks now because the part is on back order from the fact that this is happening a lot. this needs to be corrected and made right for eco diesel owners.

I have no power steering assist. There is a recall on this problem but according to Fiat - Chrysler my truck is not included in the recall. I could understand this if the manufacturing dates were much further apart. The beginning date for the recall is January 22, 2015.

I have not had it fixed yet so the problem is still there. It is available for inspection. The problem started approximately mid December 2022 and has gotten steadily worse.

Vehicle would fail to adjust ride height to normal, DIC woukd display message AIR SUSPENSION NOT AVAILABLE and would ride as if vehicle has no suspension. Any attempt to adjust would display message SELECTED REIGJT HEIGHT UNAVAILABLE. On ice packed roads and bridges, the pickup would tend to wander after going over the bumps and uneven icy areas, at one point this evening putting the pickup into a mild fish-tail. Contacted a personal friend that is a mechanic at local Ram dealer and was told this is a well known problem with the Ram 1500 air suspension and is not a recalled item. I believe that as suspension is a key component for vehicle safety and handling, the NHSTA ought to mandate FCA to correct the issue through a comprehensive recall.

On occasions too numerous to list the engine suddenly loses power. This has been very, very dangerous, especially on the interstates. The recall on the fuel pump was issued in June and 5+ months later still no solution. How much longer am I supposed to drive this dangerous vehicle?

The contact owns a 2015 Ram1500. The contact stated that while he was starting the vehicle, he heard an abnormal noise from the front passenger’s side of the engine. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic and was informed that two bolts on the manifold needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact called the local dealer and made them aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 53,000.

The issue described in NHTSA campaign 18V160000 is still present in model years later than currently covered. My 2015 truck has this same issue caused by the same defect. Noise was noticed while on daily commute on interstate, traveling approx 65 MPH. Upon inspection T slot bracket for the front fuel strap was corroded causing the fuel tank strap to fall out. Fuel tank was hanging by back strap only, did not contact the roadway, and the loose strap was making contact with the driveshaft.

Driving approximately 80 mph on the interstate when the truck completely shut off-total power failure. I was lucky and able to pull off, once I took the key out the truck started. Took to the dealer who stated they couldn’t duplicate the issue. 6 months later driving on side street same issue, truck shut down while driving with complete power failure. Reported issue to dealer who said call Fiat Chrysler. Spoke to Fiat Chrysler stated no fix currently available, no rental car or loaner would be provided despite this truck being unsafe to drive.

My RAM has been diagnosis with the same faulty manifold bolts as what seems to be numerous other 3rd and 4th generation RAMs and is resulting in dangerous exhaust leakage along with the potential for it to cause heads to cease while driving. I discovered the prevalence of reports of the same issue after my dealer diagnosed the issue while repairing a faulty air bag that has been recalled. The dealer quoted me $2,031.89 to make the repairs (see attached). In one forum alone, there are 100s of people that have cited the same issue and some have left their NHTSA complaint IDs: 11321983, 11317189, 11321434.

When pulling out onto Highway vehicle did not accelerate as it should and lost power when accelerating. Did get up to Highway miles. Lights on dash said electronic throttle control. Thought maybe the computer needed reset so removed battery cables and still nothing.

The speed control system was working recently then stopped for no reason. It does NOT register info on the dashboard or engage. Completely out. Due to the recalls for so many others, this needs to be added to your list.

The tailgate recall was supposed to have been fixed, but it didn't work. The tailgate has dropped down at least 4 or 5 times since the supposed recall repair. The last time, it hit the jack on the trailer I was pulling and did quite a bit of damage to the tailgate. I have already submitted this information to Mopar around the 15th and was told I would be contacted within 1 business day, but was not contacted. I have uploaded pictures showing the damage. I have not contacted the insurance company yet.

HPFP failure causing frequent sudden decrease in propulsion while driving which is in turn endangering me & my family including young children as well as other drivers on the road. The check engine light 100% came on immediately & has been on & off intermittently until about a week ago where it is lit continuously. I am no longer able to drive my vehicle which is needed desperately for work. I immediately reached out to Dodge Ram who states there will not be an available repair for this recall until 2023. I just bought this vehicle 45 days ago & am making payments on it. There must be something that can be done expeditiously. I cannot make these payments if I loose my job. Please reply ASAP.

Trucks power steering has been clutching out

I seen that certain Ram1500 had a recall on the 3 way coolent valve.My Ram 1500 3.6L valve now went on me.Dealership said that my truck isn’t in the recall.

Catastrophic engine failure, resulting in a hole in the block!! My truck is like new, with less than 53000 miles, perfectly maintained. You could eat dinner off the engine it is so clean. This is the second time a 5.7L hemi engine has failed me. I leased a 2012 Ram and the engine had to be replaced on that( under warranty)! HELP. This is a MAJOR $12,000 repair which should not be taking place! Truck in shop now, but to Labor Day weekend, I have no paperwork at this time . Please let me know what you need. Thank you

Air suspension will randomly deflate on one side of the vehicle making steering difficult at highway speeds. Hitting a bump or discontinuity in the road while the frame is sitting on the bump-stops (when suspension is deflated) can cause the tire to jump or skip, temporary loosing traction. It can go days or weeks without occurring, or it can happen multiple times in one trip.

Air suspension failure .Dangerous to drive. should be a recall and replacement at RAM cost

CONSTITUENT WRITES IN REGARD TO FAULTY HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP SAFETY RECALL ON THEIR 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME COMPLETING THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONSUMER STATED THANKS TO POOR/LACK OF CONCERN FOR THEIR SAFETY IS UNACCEPTABLE. HE TRADED THE TRUCK IN AT A SUBSTANTIAL LOSS OF MONEY.

Rusted out area on chassis/bracket causing front fuel tank strap to detach and hang, no longer supporting fuel tank.

There is intermittent power steering loss. My truck is not part of the recall to replace the EPS for recall S19.

I have flawlessly taken care of my Ram truck. My check engine light came on P0303, cylinder 3 misfire. I had to replace the camshaft and lifters on both sides of the engine due to a continuing design flaw in the Hemi engine. This is a well known issue and it should be addressed by the government.

Loss of power. Unable to get vehicle to highway speed. Loss of fuel economy. I looked at FCA and NHTSA sites and see a fuel pump recall for my vehicle issued in June. Called local dealer Fury motors in Stillwater, MN where I am currently and was told by service dept that there won't be anything FCA will do before 1st qtr of 2023. I am stranded here with a disabled vehicle. I live in Colorado.

Truck caught on fire

Truck died (stopped) completely crossing a highway and couldn't move it from oncoming traffic without disabling electronic gear shift manually. No prior indication that there was an issue. It just stalled.

...The component that failed is the ABS and traction system, the hitch brake system and the cruise control also stopped working, all this abs and traction system when it stops working can cause the vehicle to not move have correct performance in its braking and skidding system, which can be dangerous, especially in severe rainy and humid climates. I took the car for inspection to the dealer in naplenton in kisiimmee fl and the diagnosis so far is that it has damage to the abs module and the abs pump, which must be replaced and whose price for parts and labor is around 1615 $ with a tendency to increase according to the dealer, so far I only have the diagnosis and quote of the arrangement, since the parts take around 7 days to be available. Yesterday I contacted the FCA inquiring about the warranties of the car on these parts and about an extended warranty that they had offered me in the past tense due to other damages that I had previously in the vehicle with other parts, I did not get a response from FCA about that warranty and The dealer tells me that I do not have any warranties to cover this repair, so I will have to put it out of my pocket. It should be noted that my truck is from 2015 and it is a work vehicle and it only has 54,000 thousand miles, that is, it is a truck that has been given the use and exploitation for which it is designed .... thank you very much

The contact owned a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, her husband experienced a medical emergency causing the vehicle to lose control and crash into a tree. During the incident, the speed at impact was approximately 50 mph. During the crash, the vehicle was destroyed but the driver-side front air bag did not deploy. The husband sustained head trauma, chest trauma, and a lacerated left leg. A police report was taken at the scene. The vehicle was towed away. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified. The failure mileage was 60,000.

Driving on interstate 65 mph there was a sudden loud grinding sound from under my truck. I pulled over and found my gas tank hanging . I was able to slowly get to and area where i could safely see what happened after looking at gas tank i found that the front gas strap rusted threw the frame and the full gas tank fell down and was hitting the drive shaft. I was able to jack up the tank and put a strap around it and drive home 183 miles . I was lucky it did not hit the road as the tank was full of gas.

Went to go start the truck one morning and when I got in the truck as soon as I exceeded over 7 MPH it says to service the ABS system and the trailer brake system. I turned off the truck and started it again and it said the system was reporting fine. As soon as I went over 7 MPH again it said to service the abs again. I feel this may be a safety issue because it’s a component that’s needed for every vehicle like mines in the event I need to brake hard to avoid an accident. I can’t have the system say there’s an issue and say it’s ok the next time I start the vehicle.

Failed to repair recall, recently received letter in mail stating recalled airbags are in stock and they failed to install them stating that they didn't have the parts and were unable to install them.

The exhaust manifold screws are broken causing damage to the entire manifold. This is a common issue with Rams known as the “hemi tick” which results in the lifters ticking do to a a design flaw that doesn’t allow oil to properly lubricate the reservoir.

Power steering doesn't work when turning, especially at slow speeds. A recall was done for a problem with circuit board chip, but dealer claims my truck doesn't qualify

I backup a long side a dumpster and put in park, got out and all the sudden my truck started moving backwards and just about ran me over. If I would not have had my door open and got cought on the corner of the dumpster, it would have ran me over. So this event ended up ripping my door off, so I got it replaced out of pocket because I thought it way fault but it happened again after that. But this time I cought it in time. I just would like to see if the problem is being addressed or is it still being investigated.

Air suspension system fails in cold weather. Thousands of confirmed cases. https://www.facebook.com/groups/292298311479202 A class action in Canada. A whole business is taking advantage of removing these parts. airdelete.com My air suspension leaked out during a trip, warning lights, vehicle's air suspension dropped to the frame. No suspension resulted in a very bumpy, dangerous immediate driving conditions. Once the drive became bumpy, two hops for every bump in the road. Steering became difficult due to driver instability. Passengers became sick, vomiting due to bumpy ride. Passengers became unstable, hitting head on ceiling even while seat belted.

The vehicle has 58,000 miles on it. The vehicles has developed a manifold exhaust leak on the passenger side causing exhaust fumes to enter the cabin. Multiple online complaints have dubbed the issue the hemi tick. With so many vehicles exhaust manifolds failing and allowing exhaust fumes into the cabin I’m requesting a recall to have Chrysler repair at no charge to their customers an ongoing issue with their exhaust manifold leaks that could potentially cause harm or death to the occupants in the vehicle. I also have a 2010 Chrysler town and country with the exact same issue as my 2015 ram 1500.

When I leave my vehicle off for a few days the battery will drain and I come to a vehicle with no power to start the vehicle. I did some research online and found out people are saying it is the TIPM commanding the fuel pump to stay on even with they key set to off. I can confirm this fuel pump has to be on because some days my vehicle will take longer to start. I did my own investigation of the matter and found out it’s not my starter or no engine related components as well as lights that can drain a battery. I feel like Mopar should of discovered this and do a recall on this issue because someone can also have the same issue.

This truck has electric power steering, which happens to stiff up when driving sometimes. it can go with days not happening then come back, I restart the truck and everything seems to work fine until you start to drive for a short distance. I checked my u clamps ball joints ect.. all looks great, only thing left is the power steering motor.

The Electronic Power Steering "Service Power Steering" warning light has come on my 2015 Dodge Ram Big Horn and the electronic power steering is not functioning creating a safety hazard. I am the original purchaser of the vehicle. The vehicle has 29,379 original miles. The vehicle was assembled in February of 2015. Numerous vehicles were recalled (recall S19) that were manufactured between January and September 2015 due to a contaminated circuit board. I contacted the dealer where I purchased the vehicle (Jeff D'Ambrosio Dodge Chrysler, Downingtown, PA) and I was told that my vehicle was not included in the recall and that my warranty has expired. I will be contacting FIAT Chrysler Monday morning. I feel as though this is a major safety hazard similar to the recall and with the low mileage on the vehicle the manufactured should replace the unit FREE OF CHARGE. Dealer would not order the parts until consumer paid for them up front. Upon paying $2,327.75 for the part consumer was then informed that the parts were not available due to a nationwide shortage and they don’t know when they will receive them.

As I was driving to work I noticed a noise coming from under / middle of the truck. Once parked I looked underneath and realized my front fuel tank strap had rusted off and my tank was hanging low and held by only the rear strap.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that the airbag message had appeared on the instrument panel while starting the vehicle. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic where the passenger’s side curtain airbags were replaced; however, soon after repair, the airbag warning light reappeared. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

While pulling a loaded trailer I was going around a right-hand bend in the road at about 35mph and the steering locked up throwing us off the road into a ditch. Thank God it did not throw us into oncoming traffic. Couldn't move the steering wheel at all with two men trying together. Required a tow truck to move to dealer. Also having issues getting the cruise to engage.

A warrantied part that was previously tried to fix my guess is prior to warranty due to the emissions lying from FCA and resulting ecodiesel settlement. So I purchased without that information being disclosed to me and know they are refusing a warrantied repair on the emissions component. Even thought the settlement covers said part.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 35 - 45 MPH and making a turn, the vehicle lost power steering assist inadvertently. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact was able to continue to drive the vehicle however, extra effort was needed to steer the vehicle. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle could not be repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V167000 (Steering) because the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and confirmed the dealer information. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.

I have yet to have this issue, but by how it handles anymore it may be soon. But I've seen a lot of people having to replace their entire top end of their engines do to the mds system. The system will shut off some of the cylinders. The mds system that chrysler puts on these trucks causes oil to be shut off to the lifters. Due to the lack of oil this causes major repair issues that keep the truck from running, such as cam shaft failure, and valve failure. If there was to be an mds failure when someone is driving it could cause harm to them and possibly other people because they would lose power to major components such as power steering. This could be a liability since I'm sure there have been several engine replacements on record with them that's under warranty and that's not including not under warranty.

Received notice august 20, 2021 its been over six months and remedy not yet available. I drive with my wife and grand kids in vehicle. Letter states material being propelled into the vehicle may cause injury to vehicle occupants. Thank you for any help in this matter.

Power steering failure Comes and goes

Mins after buying the dodge ram 1500 truck with only 77,000 miles on truck.. The check engine light came on and was locking itself in 4th gear and when returned to dealership they found it was the transmission shifter solenoid which was around a $700.00 to fix. I told dealership I wanted to return the truck if it was already having major issues but they said It was under 30 day warranty and reassured me that it was a great truck and fixed under warranty. Then in Feb 2022 still under 100,000 miles it started driving rough and in same day I went to get oil change and asked if they could look at the truck. Immediately they said it was deadly to drive any further and said it must be a manufacture defect because not only was the axel broke at less than 100,000 miles but the piece being the intermediate axel shaft was broke as well and needed to be replaced immediately and that this was very rare to have happen on any vehicle this early in milage.This costing us around $1000.00 to fix in autoshop. Both incidents happened 1st time mins after buying truck in Aug 2021 then second time barely 6 months later and still under 100,000 miles

Smoke coming from top of motor by fuel line cause a fire

Truck automatically goes in neutral while driving and displays message shift to p then desired gear. Other times it says shift to p to start. Happens while driving on highways and roads. No engine light to diagnose problem

Front Fuel tank strap ripped out of the frame do to corrosion causing the front of the gas tank to drop almost 6 inches. I live in New York and read that the same issue has occurred on the Ram 1500 from 2009 to 2012

1) engine 2) yes 3) No 4) Police and fire chief...waiting on Insurance 5) electronic throttle control error light - repaired 1/20/22 driving home from work (about 35 mile drive) and 2.5 miles from home - engine made a LOUD/LARGE pop and the engine died....drifted to side of road where the inside immediate filled with smoke. Got out and the engine was on fire and within a matter of minutes the entire front end was ingulfed in flames. I find it interesting that I found and article from Ram "Ram Recalls 108,000 EcoDiesel Pickup Trucks over Fire Risk - 2014-2019 trucks...out truck is a 2015 Why we never informed of this potential deadly issue? My husband could have been killed as quickly as this all happened, and wiht no prior warranty, and for it to fully engulf so quickly https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a29622403/ram-1500-recall-ecodiesel-pickup-trucks/?fbclid=IwAR2_75MVCiq4C8Ab_ANM7XV3JNhbTGuM6UNSGTdyCM62tRMG9eLeFKemlmc#:~:text=Fiat%20Chrysler%20Automobiles%20(FCA)%20has,or%20any%20gasoline%2Dpowered%20trucks

The rear passenger tail light assembly keeps shorting out. The bulb has been replaced, the assembly has been replaced, no water is leaking into the assembly, and repair/replacement only temporarily fixes the problem. Vehicle has been inspected by a mechanic who had seen this problem before, but was unaware of an actual fix for the problem. We have been advised that this reoccurring problem could potentially cause a fire from electrical malfunction.

I have observed that the headlights and fog lights flicker about every 1 minute while driving. Nothing running in the cab that would affect the voltage or amps to draw to cause this. I have read several online threads of dozens if not hundreds of others having the same issue with no solution or any dealership to help.

Started have a ticking sound coming from engine compartment that will go away when truck runs & heats up. Now getting exhaust fumes in the passenger compartment that goes away also then the ticking stops. Learned that this is a very frequent issue with the Dodge Ram 1500's Manifold bolts braking and the heat shield vibrating and along with exhaust leak. i can't comprehend why this wouldn't be a recall issue due to the harmful exhaust fumes in the passenger compartment. this issue need to be looked into, and research shows there have been an extensive amount of complaints which have not corrected the issue..looking for next steps to take to get this done

The abs module is throwing lights which then of course disables my cruise control. Also with no antilock brakes it definitely puts not only myself but others at risk in the case I have to stop quickly or on lwet/slick roads. We have had it to a shop and have a quoted price of 2500 to fix. I had no problems whatsoever with this until I started the truck one morning and the lights came on. Upon further research I have seen this is a problem with alot of Dodge trucks which leads me to believe that we need to revisit the part.

Power Steering Assist is random. The steering is difficulty randomly changes between easy to difficult causing unexpected steering changes. This Electronic Power Steering (EPS) unit is NOT part of a similar recall (NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V167000); however, the symptoms are identical. This EPS unit serial number is TIC3394C5021

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving and attempting to accelerate to pass another vehicle, the vehicle went into limp mode. The vehicle was shaking and shifting gears erratically. The driver was able to decelerate to avoid an accident. The engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where the contact was informed that the vehicle was working as designed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

Recall 16v-167 has been issued. However, my ram has the exact power steering problems of intermittently locking up while driving at 65,000 miles. The vin spectrum is not broad enough.

The service air suspension display comes on and instantly goes out with no stored codes according to dealership. While driving the rear air bags dump (deflate) completely empty. There has been times where this has happened at 70 MPH other times it has happened at 35-55 MPH. This causes the truck to bounce violently and have sway side to side when going over bridges and bumps. When I took it to dealership I was told they could not duplicate the issue, even after having it for 3-4 weeks. Again this doesn’t happen all of the time day in day out, it’s random for no apparent reason. This is a huge safety issue not just for me and my family but everyone on the road. Sometimes if you stop at a light or along the road it will air back up to normal ride height but on 12/18/2021 it would not air up.

The tailgate fell open while I was driving December 1, 2021. I had closed the tailgate before pulling onto the roadway. I noticed a thump & stopped to check what had caused the noise. This had happened several weeks before & I thought maybe I had not closed the tailgate properly. This problem was supposed to have been fixed in a previous recall. Why would this happen again?

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact received a recall notification for NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V632000 (Air Bags) however, the dealer informed the contact that parts for the recall repair were not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact received a notification of NHTSA campaign number: 21V632000 (Air Bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was contacted and informed the contact that the part was not yet available. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, there was an abnormal ticking sound coming from the engine. After driving the vehicle for a while, the ticking noise started to fade and was less noticeable. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the exhaust manifold bolts were defective, causing an exhaust leak around the gasket. The mechanic recommended that the manifold be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

I bought this vehicle used in December 2019 from J.L Freed Honda in Montgomeryville Pa. Truck had about 78,000 miles on it. I noticed a ticking noise coming from the engine when it was started cold. Salesman advised that it was nothing to worry about and is common with RAM trucks until they warm up. Sure enough within a minute the ticking subsided. I purchased the truck and the ticking has continued when started cold. I recently had the truck inspected and was advised that the ticking was a manifold exhaust leak that will only get worse over time and is an emissions issue as well as a safety issue. I started to research the issue on line and found that the leak is caused by broken manifold bolts. It is well documented in online Forums for Dodge RAM and it appears to be a known issue with the Manufacturer but no resolution or recall has been issued. It has obviously caused much frustration for RAM owners of the 5.7 Hemi engine as detailed in the RAM Forum. The repairs are costly and with the problem being as common as it is with no resolution or help from the manufacturer, please review for possible recall.

My vehicle has been wait-listed for the EGR re-call parts since August 17, 2020. The dealer claims they receive 1-2 repair kits a week. Other dealers within 50 miles say the same. As a CA resident, I can now no longer register my vehicle until the VB1/NHTSA 19V-757 repair is complete. In CA, a smog test is required every 2 years, I have completed this (PASSED), but my registration, although paid in full, has been held pending the re-call repair. I currently have an appointment to hopefully secure another 60 registration extension, otherwise, my vehicle would be subject to citation and/or impound based on incomplete registration. The dealer informed me that I am approx. 3-4 months away in the que for repairs. Basically, I need relief from the mandate within CA based on the unforgiving and unrealistic policy that California Air Resources Board(CARB) and DMV have imposed and lack of oversite related to production/distribution of the re-call part kits.

Manifold bolts have sheared causing exhaust leak while occasionally enters cab area when not in motion. Issue was brought to the attention of dealer on 4 different occasions when under warranty and no repair was made. Ram customer care was contacted now that the power train warranty has expired and no solution was offered. This is a well documented issue and I am concerned about the safety risk.

Electronic fuel sensor failed at 47k miles. Sensor contact wears away from friction and falsely reports a empty tank, when fuel is present. Vehicle operator has no idea how much fuel is in the tank at any time. Thousands of testimonials online of the same issue. Ramforum.com, ramforumz.com and Youtube.com all have complaints and how to videos.

About a dozen times the accelerator pedal sticks to the floor. The pedal stays depressed even when my foot is not on it anymore. The vehicle races uncontrollably as fast as it can. Occasionally a red warning light with a thunderbolt displays on the dash. I have not taken it to the dealer because it is no longer under warranty but, I have replaced the throttle body and it made no difference. Also I have checked the NHTS website for recalls. My original factory floor mat does not go under pedal so as not to be the culprit. When the pedal sticks to the floor I must place the toe of my shoe on the side of the the accelerator pedal and lift it up. This stops the acceleration and the red warning light goes off. The sticking pedal has occurred about a dozen times and has only happened over the last 18 months. The safety problem is becoming more frequent. On Monday while taking my daughter to school I pulled out onto the highway from a stop sign and quickly accelerated. Upon reaching the 45 mph speed limit I let off the accelerator pedal but the pedal stayed depressed. My Ram truck quickly accelerated to 72 mph all the while I had to weave around a car to avoid an accident. The warning light did not come on this time. I have tried braking but this only slows the vehicle slightly. When releasing the brake the truck accelerates full throttle again. Lifting up on the accelerator pedal is the only thing that works. The sticking pedal has only occurred when accelerating rapidly.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that the coolant level was low. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 19V757000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who stated that the parts were not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the issue, but no further assistance was provided. The contact stated the parts were back ordered for approximately three years. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

Since purchasing the truck early this year, the engine has stalled while in motion 5 times. Each time I was able to shift into neutral and start the engine again, and stay in motion. I have taken the truck to 3 different mechanics and none are able to figure out the source of the stall. My safety is at risk because engine control is lost while in motion, if I had to accelerate to avoid collision I would be unable to. Although the engine has started again every time, I am afraid that one time it might not. No warning lamps have come on and no engine codes are available, the truck makes no record of the sudden loss of motive power.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact received a notification for NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V632000 (Air Bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The dealer had been notified about the recall; however, the contact was informed that the part was not yet available. The manufacturer had been notified of the recall. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Engine light on. Code P26AB. 3 way cooling valve malfunction. Valve controls heat to core and defrost. Replaced valve with OEM part bought a dealership. Valve working providing heat and defrost working. Engine light will not come off. Code erased and light comes back on. Dodge dealership unable to determine cause. Is the valve triggered by an emissions issue that will affect the performance of the engine? Is it a software issue? There’s no recall on this issue and this is coming out of pocket. The vehicle is currently at a Dodge dealership and being inspected. So far there isn’t a solution.

POWER STEERING FAILURE, NEED TO STRONG ARM AND MUSCLE IT IN ORDER TO MAKE TURN AT LOWER SPEEDS, VERY HARD TO TURN INCREASING RISK OF CRASH, DEALER SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR STEERING AT THIS TIME. NO WARNINGS NO MESSAGE AND THIS STARTED SEPTEMBER 5TH 2021. FELT ODD AT FIRST WHEN TRUCK GRABBED THE ROAD WHEN TURNING AND HAS GOTTEN MUCH WORSE WITH TIME.TRUCK HAS 80000 MILES

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that water was leaking from the headlamps. The contact called the local dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA. The failure mileage was approximately 100.000. The VIN was not available

I was driving down the road when the air suspension went out. My truck started bouncing and I almost lost control of my truck. I had to pull over and see what the issue was. The air suspension works whe. It wants too. It's very dangerous driving on the freeway when the suspension goes out.

We have intermittent loss of power steering resulting in hard steering and then coming back on, resulting in easy steering with no warning. We have checked connections under the vehicle at the steering unit and they are good and clean. We had an analyzer hooked up to check and it said no communication with the module. I see online this has happened frequently on these vehicles and feel it is a safety concern that FCA should address. I talked to FCA service and they said there are no open recalls on this vehicle. This happens at all speeds and was rarely happening but increasing in frequency for the last couple of months.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V475000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and the vehicle was repaired under the recall. Upon return of the vehicle, the contact stated that the vehicle immediately began to stall without warning while driving at various speeds. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact then took the vehicle to North Knox Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (225 Callahan Dr, Knoxville, TN 37912) where they kept the vehicle for a month and determined that the failure was related to the turbo charger. The turbo charger was replaced under warranty however, despite the repair, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

The fog light brackets are worn out, resulting in the light bouncing and blinding oncoming traffic.

Three time now a high pressure fuel line has cracked. I do not have the lines but have two dealer documentations of the failure. I would say that our safety was severly compromised as there is no warning light and fuel is leaking like crazy. The failure was notice all three times by watching the fuel gauge move like a speedometer and then seeing a vapor trail out the side mirrors. The vehicle was coated in diesel fuel on all three occurances. Dealers do not seem to think there is anything wrong....just bad luck. First occurance was 05/15/2018 Second occurance was 09/17/2019 Latest occurance was 08/09/2021 Vehicle was taken in 10/02/2018 because the smell of diesel was in the cab of the truck. All occurance are documented by a dealer except for the first. A small shop soldered the line so we could get home.

The EPS(Electronic Power Steering) get a little bit hard at slow speed and sometimes you need to use more hand power to steer the vehicle. You can turn off and turn back on the truck and the problem is gone, you dont know when is going to happen again. Normally when you trun on the vehicle in the morning the steering wheel system is a bit hard and you can feel that it get stuck for a moment and then release. There is no message in the dash or any light on. I have not take the truck to any dealer to verify the problem. I did a research and there were a recall for some 2015-2016 models but my VIN is not in that list. I also know that this is happening to more people with a 2015 model but still is not a recall. Do we need to wait until someone crash or have a major issue to consider this a recall,

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated while the vehicle was at Walmart to have the tires replaced, the contact was informed that the steering wheel became difficult to turn and the mechanic was unable to drive the vehicle into the bay to replace the tires. The contact stated that the service power steering system warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer and made them aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V167000 (Steering) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

W58 recall inspection completed. Chrysler states W68 recall does not apply to vehicle because the part affected was not made at or at the time of the part (tone ring on fly wheel) was not at the location or time as others which are eligible for the recall. Initially EGR recall completed with engine light - a few weeks later crank shaft position sensor error code engine light. Crank shaft position sensor was originally inspected - can cause engine to stop or go into limp mode while driving. Truck went into limp mode after pulling out of driveway onto busy street

Intake manifold melted and smoked. No flame seen but lots of smoke. Check engine light came on and service Electronic Throttle light came on. I have had 2 EGR coolers installed in this vehicle. This was close to being a engine fire. If this is not fixed soon some ones Ecodiesel will burn a family up. NTSB needs to recall these vehicles ASAP

This problem is common for the 5.7l V8 Hemi RAM engine, as reported by owners. It concerns bolts that hold the exhaust shield to the engine manifold. These bolts are known to break off, causing a tapping sound that is heard while the engine is cool, soon quieting down as the engine heats up. The bolt also holds the catalytic converter in place. If not repaired, it can cause the exhaust system shield to break loose entirely, and also possibly causing the catalytic converter to break loose. The failure is well known to owners, and is clearly documented in the following Youtube video: https://youtu.be/cL3xNoKs9E4 titled "The most common Hemi Tick"

part not aveliable magnetic material attached to tone wheel

I was driving on the Interstate when a electronic short warning light come on, I pulled over on the shoulder of the road and my engine quit and smoke started to come from the engine. I opened the hood and the engine was on fire. I emptied my cooler, all the bottles of water I had and Cokes and managed to put the fire out with out damage to any thing or any one other than the engine, windshield and hood. Dealer does not want to take responsibility, oil cooler seems to be the source of the fire. Oil sprayed on to the fire blanket on the hood kept burning after the main fire was extinguished. My truck was running fine prier to the fire, I have been waiting for a replacement tone wheel (recall # W58) for 6 months. I have had the EGR (recall #VB1) go out twice and fixed. Numerous electrical tail light shortages.

The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 55 - 60 mph, the steering wheel stiffened up and was hard to steer. The dealer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in a recall for the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to file a complaint with NHTSA. The failure mileage was 86,000.

I bought my 2015 ram eco-diesel August 2019 I try to get the recall done once and they said they will not install it I waited about a year and called again and they made a appointment for me But the recall with the crankshaft sensor went bad and I had to have it towed they installed the EGR cooler and did a programming to the camshaft sensor now I’ve got the vehicle back it’s hard to start it has no power I don’t understand this I just want the truck to be right I haven’t drove The truck in over a year I just want them to make the truck right thank you

The tone ring of my vehicle has failed causing the crank sensor to not work as designed. This has put my vehicle into a no start condition. I was lucky that this happened just after I returned home instead of while in the 5 lane traffic I was previously in. Had this happened a few minutes earlier I would have been in an accident.

My 2015 Ram 1500 abruptly downshifted into 4th gear while driving down the road at approximately 50 mph. I immediately pulled off the road and found that the truck was stuck in 4th gear. After some research I've found this is very common with the RAM's and that they had a recall on the newer models for the same issue. If I would have been going around a bend when this occurred, it would have caused an accident. I'm not going to have to spend around $1000 to repair something that is an obvious defect. It's going to cause an accident, or more accidents if nothing is done about it.

THE RECALL FOR THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR TONE WHEEL MAY DELAMINATE FALLS SHORT OF CORRECTING THE PROBLEM. MINE DELAMINATED AND IT COST ME $2600 FOR THE REPAIR AT THE DEALER IN GILROY CA. BESIDE LEAVING US STRANDED ON A REMOTE SECTION OF HIGHWAY WITH THE TRAVEL TRAILER WE WERE TOWING. WE PAID $250 FOR TOWING THE TRUCK AND THE TRAILER AND $1000 TO RENT A CAR WHILE THE DEALER WAITED TO DIAGNOSE THE ORDER PARTS AND FINALLY TO REPAIR. AFTER PICKING UP THE TRUCK THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT AN HOUR DOWN THE ROAD TOWARD HOME. AFTER I GOT HOME I TALKED TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THE TRUCK JUST TURNED OVER 120000 MILES JUST BEFORE GETTING TO THE DEALER SO EVEN THOUGH THE ISSUE HAPPENED BEFORE THE MILES HIT 120000 THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WOULD NOT BE COVER BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS PART OF THE EMISSION SETTLEMENT. FIRST I BELIEVE THE RECALL FOR THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR TONE WHEEL MAY DELAMINATE SHOULD COVER THE COST TO REPLACE THE WHEEL, NOT JUST MODIFY THE PROGRAM. SECOND THERE IS STILL AN ISSUE THAT WAS NOT FOUND BY THE DEALER BEFORE 120000 MILES AND I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD QUALIFY AS A WARRANT REPAIR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION OF THESE ISSUES.

A COUPLE OF MONTHS AFTER GETTING THIS USED VEHICLE, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH A MESSAGE SAYING TO CHECK THE FUEL CAP. JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT NOTHING ELSE WAS WRONG, WE GOT A DIAGNOSIS FROM O'RILEYS & AUTO ZONE; THE O2 SENSORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SO WE DECIDED TO SWITCH OUT THE O2 SENSORS AND THE FUEL CAP. THEN AFTER A WEEK, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN. SO WE GOT ANOTHER DIAGNOSIS TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM, IT DETECTED AN EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM LEAK (VERY SMALL LEAK). THEN THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND, WE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY CAN FIX THE PROBLEM. THERE WAS NO MECHANIC ON DUTY AS THEIR AUTO DEPARTMENT WAS CLOSED. INSTEAD, WE TALKED TO THE DEALER WHO SOLD US THE VEHICLE AND HE STATED, 'YOU CAN DELETE THE MESSAGE.' HE WAS NO HELP AT ALL AND DIDN'T BOTHER TO HELP FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, HE SAID THAT HE KNOWS A LITTLE ABOUT WORKING ON CARS, HOW TO USE THE HANDHELD DETECTOR MACHINE, AND DELETING THE CODE WOULD MAKE IT BETTER? WE WANTED THIS VEHICLE TO WORK PROPERLY NOT BY 'DELETING' (THE MESSAGE), BUT TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG AND HOW TO GET IT FIXED. THERE IS A WAITLIST FOR AN AUTO SHOP NEARBY, DUE TO THIS PANDEMIC WE HAVE TO WAIT TO RECEIVE A CALLBACK FOR AN APPOINTMENT, AND NOW I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FROM CREDIT KARMA STATING TO CHECK ON THE RECALL FOR THIS USED TRUCK I OWN. CURRENTLY, THE CHECK FUEL CAP WILL NOT TURN OFF AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON.

MY VEHICLE HAS SUFFERED BOTH MAJOR SAFETY RECALLS, ONCE WHERE I WAS WITH MY SON AFTER PICKING HIM UP FROM SCHOOL ON A HIGHWAY THE EGR CANISTER SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUSTED CAUSING MAJOR DAMAGE THAT FCA SAID WAS NOT A MANUFACTURER ISSUE BUT A AFTER MY INSURANCE REPAIRED MY VEHICLE THEY MADE THE RECALL FOR THE FIRES. AFTER 3 WEEKS WITH ME VEHICLE FROM REPAIR THE ENGINE STALLED OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT ON A HIGHWAY, I HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP AND AFTER THE INSPECTION WAS TOLD THAT THE TONE WHEEL WAS BROKEN AND THAT IT HAD CAUSED DAMAGE THAT WOULD REQUIRE A NEW ENGINE. I PAID CLOSE TO $7,000 DOLLARS TO HAVE THE ENGINE REPLACED BECAUSE OF THIS. A FEW MONTHS LATER FCA ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE TONE WHEEL PROBLEM THE TECH AT THE DEALERSHIP WROTE THIS IN HIS NOTES.

DODGE RAM 1500 ECO DIESEL 2015 LOSS OF CRANKSHAFT POSITION AND RING TONE WHEEL ! HAD A RECALL W58 TO FIX CRANKSHAFT POSITION WHICH NOW DAMAGED THE RING SENSOR WHEEL! RECALL WAS DONE MARCH 9, 2021, APRIL 5TH TRUCK STALLED IN DRIVEWAY AND WOULD NOT START ! HAD TO TOW TO DEALERSHIP! DODGE STILL HAS NOT RECEIVED THE FIX AND WANTS US TO PAY THE $2000 BILL ! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE SINCE THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED ONE THING THAT AFFECTED THE RING MAGNETIC MATERIAL ! RECALL W58 SPECIFICALLY STATED THAT 'THE TONE MATERIAL ATTACHED TO THE TONE WHEEL ON YOUR VEHICLE PROVIDES A SIGNAL TO THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR'. THERE IS ANOTHER RECALL THAT WE DID NOT GET W68 THAT SUPPOSEDLY ADDRESSES THE RING! WHY ARE WE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL ????? WE COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WHEN THE TRUCK STALLED ! !!!

FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CONTINUES TO STOP WORKING CAUSING MY ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. I AM NOT AWARE IF I WILL RUN OUT OF GAS OR NOT. THIS REPAIR PROCESS IS WELL OVER $700 UNLESS I DO MYSELF WHICH I DONT HAVE TTE EQUIPMENT TO TAKE MY BED OFF MY TRUCK. THAT IS EVEN MORE DANGEROUS WHEN THIS IS A FAULTY PART ON DODGES PART. FOR THE COST OF HTESE TRUCKS THESE NEED TO BE PART OF A RECALL.

PASSANGE SIDE WIND SHIELD WIPER MORTOR IS MOVING BE ITS GOTTEN SCRAPPED OFF SO IT'S LOOSE AND IT CANE GO BACK IN BECAUSE IT GOTTEN SCRAPPED OFF.

TRAVELED APPR. 1/2 MILE, 30 MPH ENGINE LOST POWER, RATTLED AND CLANKED LIKE TIMING WAS OFF WOULD HARDLY MOVE- STALLED ME ON BUSY 2 LANE HWY. TRANSMISSION KNOB LOCKED UP, ERRORS READING ADJUST TRAILER BRAKE SLIDER- NO TRAILER CONNECTED TO ME. TRIED ADJUSTING, ALLOWED ME TO PUT IN PARK, COULD NOT GET BACK OUT OF PARK, WOULD NOT LET ME SHUT OF ENGINE. IT WAS TOTALLY STALLED, BUT RUNNING LIKE A CLANKY TRAIN- FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GET TRUCK IN REVERSE AND BACK INTO DRIVE 500 FEET BEHIND ME. HAD NO POWER STEERING AT ALL. ENGINE WAS LOPING SO BAD IT FELT LIKE I HAD A FLAT TIRE. GOT THE TRUCK IN DRIVE - STILL LIMITED POWER, NO POWER STEERING. GOT TRUCK UP TO HOUSE SAFELY OFF ROAD- YELLOW ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I WAS ABLE TO GET TRUCK IN PARK ON SELECTOR KNOB. SHUT TRUCK OFF. CALLED TO MAKE AN APPT. TO GET TRUCK IN. TRIED TO START TRUCK AND WOULD TURN OVER BUT WILL NOT START. I GOT NOTICE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO OF LOSS OF CRANK POSITION. I CALLED LARSON DODGE TO GET IT FIXED AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE INFO ON HOW TO FIX IT YET, TO CALL BACK AFTER FIRST OF YEAR. SO HERE I AM. IT IS VERY SCARY TO PULL ONTO MAIN 2 LANE HWY AND TOTALLY LOSE POWER AND CONTROL ALL AT THE SAME TIME. NO SHOULDER ON ROAD, CAN NOT EXPLAIN THE FEELING BUT IT IS AN AWFUL FEELING TO BE IN MOTION AND LOSE ALL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS DEFINITELY IS DANGEROUS AND EASILY PEOPLE COULD DIE FROM IT IF IT HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY OR ANY BUSY ROAD. PLEASE PEOPLE BE AWARE OF THIS. THIS FAULTY SITUATION COULD EASILY COST YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES AND OR COMPLETE STRANGERS THEIR LIVES. NOT SO MUCH BY THE VEHICLE ITSELF, BUT BY LOSING POWER AND CONTROL, YOU CAN EASILY GET SLAMMED INTO. I WAS JUST WAITING TO GET HIT, BUT A VERY AWARE SEMI TRUCK DRIVER SAW I WAS IN TROUBLE AND STOPPED BEFORE THE OPENING OF THE DRIVE TO ALLOW ME TO BACK UP INTO IT. I COULD NOT GO FORWARD. THE CONTROL KNOB WOULD NOT LET ME PUT IT IN DRIVE.

AFTER GETTING THE FCA EMISSIONS MODIFICATION PUSHED OUT BY RAM/FIAT, I HAVE LOST ABOUT 20-25% GAS MILEAGE AND POWER IN THE TRUCK. THE MODIFICATION HAS RUINED A GREAT TRUCK. TRUCK IS NOW DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF A LAG AND LACK OF POWER. MOD WAS INSTALLED IN SUMMER OF 2019 AND TRUCK IS NOW RUINED.

PART # 68105583AF OIL FILTER HOUSING HAS GONE BAD IN OVER 58,000 DODGE RAM VEHICLES AND ARE ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER

I HAVE HAD TWO PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE. THE FIRST IS THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL INTERMEDIATELY WORKS AND THEN DOESN'T AT TIMES. THE SECOND, IS THAT THE POWER STEERING INTERMEDIATELY WORKS AND THEN SUDDENLY WILL GO OUT IN MIDDLE OF A TURN. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE HOOKED HIS SCANNER TO IT AND ALTHOUGH THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON, HE RESET THE COMPUTER IN THE VEHICLE. THIS ACTION WORKED FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR AND THE THEN THE ISSUE WITH THE POWER STEERING RETURNED. I'VE LOOKED UP RECALLS ON BOTH THESE ISSUES AND HAVE NOTICED THERE ARE RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THESE PROBLEMS WITH RAM 1500, HOWEVER MINE IS NOT LISTED. I BELIEVE THEY NEED TO BROADEN THEIR RECALL ACTIONS BEFORE SOMEONE LOOSES THEIR LIFE DUE TO MECHANICAL FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT HAD NOT RECEIVED THE NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V475000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 80 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE FUEL THROTTLE AND ELECTRONIC POWER BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KEY AUTO MALL (3700 16TH ST, MOLINE, IL 61265) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR TONE WHEEL FAILED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED HOWEVER, THE CRACK POSITION SENSOR WAS NOT REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ADAMSON MOTORS (4800 US-52, ROCHESTER, MN 55901) AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT HE NEEDED TO PAY FOR THE PART, EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE RECALL FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,600.

2015 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL MESSAGE " INCORRECT DEF DETECTED SEE DEALER TRUCK WILL SHUTDOWN IN 500 MILES" I HAVE BEEN TO 2 DEALERS WITH MY TRUCK BOTH TIMES MY TRUCK HAS BEEN AT DEALER FOR OVER 30 DAYS. IT IS PART OF THE ECODIESEL CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. IT HAS RECEIVED AN EMISSIONS MODIFICATION WARRANTY. DEALER DOES NOT SEEM ABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE ISSUE. IN THE SETTLEMENT CONSENT DECREE IT STATES THAT IF VEHICLE CANNOT BE REPAIRED IN 30 DAYS AND BUYBACK CAN OCCUR. IT HAS BEEN 30 DAYS TWICE AT 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS. THE TRUCK SEEMS UNREPAIRABLE. IT HAS BEEN UNUSABLE SINCE DEC 22 2020

MY 2015 RAM 1500 SHIFT SELENOID PACK FAILED AND IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM OR DEFECT IN THE RAM 1500 OF THAT YEAR. THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED ON NEWER RAM MODELS FOR THIS PART BUT NOT ON THIS YEAR MODEL. THE 2015 RAMS HAVE THE SAME SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SHIFT SELENOID PACK BUT I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE HAS DONE ANY INVESTIGATION ON THIS FACTORY DEFECT. IT IS VERY COSTLY TO REPAIR AND VERY COMMON. MY CAR WAS IN MOTION AT A LOW SPEED. WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED. WHEN THE SELENOID PACK FAILED.IT GOT STUCK ON 4TH GEAR AND IT WOULD NOT GO INTO DRIVE.

ON SATURDAY POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE I WAS TURNING INTO A GAS STATION IN THE AFTERNOON. DROVE IT BACK TO THE HOTEL AND LEFT IT PARKED OVER NIGHT AND NEXT MORNING SUNDAY POWER STEERING STARTED WORKING AGAIN. LATER THAT SUNDAY NIGHT I LEFT TO GO TO THE GROCERY STORE AND POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. THEN MONDAY MORNING I WENT TO WORK AND POWER STEERING WORKED AGAIN. NO MORE ISSUES SINCE THEN AND THAT WAS IN DECEMBER OF 2020, NOW YESTERDAY 3/11/21, POWER STEERING GOES OUT INTERMITTENTLY GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING WHEN I'M MAKING A SHARP TURN OR CORNER THEN WHILE I'M DRIVING STRAIGHT THE POWER STEERING COMES BACK ON. VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS WHEN IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING. IF THE TRUCK IS STATIONARY AND I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL HARD IN ONE DIRECTION OR THE OTHER THE POWER STEERING GOES UP AND COMES RIGHT BACK. I HAVE A VIDEO OF IT GOING OUT WHEN I WAS SITTING IN A PARKING SPOT WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL IT GOES OUT. BUT I CAN'T UPLOAD A VIDEO.

2015 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL CREW CAB. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE VEHICLE WILL AUTOMATICALLY SHIFT INTO PARK. THE SHIFT KNOB LIGHTS UP ALL LIGHTS AND THEN WILL SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK. ALL DOORS ARE CLOSED AND VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I HAVE HAVE TO TURN THE SHIFT KNOB INTO PARK SOMETIMES THE SHIFT KNOB WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO TURN IT TO PARK. ONLY WAY TO RESOLVE THIS SITUATION WHEN IT OCCURS IS TO TURN THE VEHICLE IGNITION OFF THEN RESTART. THIS HAPPENS ON A REGULAR BASIS. ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT NUMEROUS TIMES. ALSO WHEN THIS OCCURS THE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL COME ON AND STAY ON. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.

MY STEERING HAS BEEN GETTING STIFF LATELY, ON BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT TURNS AS I'M DRIVING. MY HUSBAND FIRST NOTICED IT ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF AGO. MY BALL JOINTS AND TIRE RODS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, NO UNEVEN WEAR ON MY TIRES. IT'S ALL JUST IN THE STEERING WHEEL. MY HUSBAND LOOKED UP THE PREVIOUS RECALL ON THE TRUCK BACK IN 2016 ON THE STEERING, HE IS NOTICING THE SAME THING HAPPEN AS LISTED IN THAT RECALL. HOWEVER THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY STEERING. I'M NOT SURE IF THAT RECALL HAD EVER BEEN DONE OR NOT BUT SOMETHING IS GOING ON WITH MY TRUCK.

THERE SEEMS TO BE WATER COMING INTO THE CAB SOMEWHERE. I GRABBED THE ASSIST HANDLE WHEN GETTING INTO THE TRUCK, AND WATER STARTED COMING OUT OF THE SCREW COVERS. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THIS WATER IS COMING FROM, BUT I AM SURE IT CAN TRAVEL DOWN INTO MY DASH AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE RUSTING AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS INSIDE MY TRUCK WHERE IT SHOULD NOT BE EXPOSED TO WATER.

JUST LIKE SO MANY OTHERS, THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION SERVICE IMMEDIATELY MESSAGE COMES ON AT DIFFERENT TIMES. THE TRUCK DEFLATES TO RIDE ON NO SUSPENSION AND BOUNCES AND SWERVES EVERY TIME YOU HIT A BUMP. SUPER DANGEROUS

RECALL VB1/NHTSA 19V-757 WAS ISSUED ON 10/24/2019. THE DOCUMENT THAT RAM SENT TO ME SAID: "IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO TAKE STEPS NOW TO REPAIR YOUR VEHICLE TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF YOU AND YOUR PASSENGERS." AND IT ALSO SAID THAT POTENTIALLY THERE COULD BE AN ENGINE FIRE! ON 6/15/2020 I SPOKE WITH [XXX] AT IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF MY DEALER. (NOW OWNED BY LITHIA MOTORS IN BEND OREGON.) HE SAID THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE AND THAT HE WOULD PUT ME ON THE WAITING LIST. I CALLED AGAIN ON 1/28/2021 AND SPOKE WITH [XXX]. SHE SAID THE PART WAS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. SHE SAID THAT I WAS #43 ON THE WAITING LIST. I CALLED AGAIN TODAY. (3/1/2021) AND SPOKE WITH [XXX]. HE SAID THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE AND SAID I WAS ON THE WAITING LIST, BUT NOW MY PLACE ON THAT LIST WAS WELL OVER 100. I AM FEELING LESS AND LESS SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. WHAT REMEDIES DO I HAVE TO GET MY RAM TRUCK FIXED? CAN YOU HELP ME? [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

THE VEHICLE'S AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM SUDDENLY FAILED DURING DRIVING. THE AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM CONTROLS THE RIDE HEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE, AND THE RIDE HEIGHT ALSO IMPACTS THE VEHICLE'S STEERING ALIGNMENT. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE ISSUE IS THAT THE NITROGEN AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM PERFORMS A SELF-CHECK UPON START-UP AND PURGES A SMALL VOLUME OF AIR AND INGESTS OUTSIDE AIR, WHICH CONTAINS MOISTURE. DURING THE WINTER MONTHS, THIS MOISTURE GETS INTO THE SUSPENSION'S COMPRESSOR, AND CAUSES PREMATURE FAILURE DUE TO FREEZING. THE COST OF REPAIR/REPLACEMENT FOR THIS AIR SUSPENSION COMPRESSOR IS $1200, AND WILL FAIL AGAIN WHEN THE SAME CYCLE REPEATS. CHRYSLER/RAM IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, AND THERE ARE TSB'S ABOUT AIR SUSPENSION ISSUES, AND MULTIPLE CUSTOMER CARE CASES, BUT THEY REFUSE TO ISSUE A RECALL. IF THIS SYSTEM FAILS DURING DRIVING IT CAN CAUSE A SUDDEN LOSS OF CONTROL DUE TO VEHICLE GEOMETRY CHANGES. I WAS ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED, AND HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AS THE WARNING SAID SEEK "IMMEDIATE REPAIR" OF THE AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER, WHICH ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE, AND OPENED A CASE, BUT LATER DENIED THE CASE. THIS ISSUE IS DOCUMENTED AMONG MANY OTHER CHRYSLER AIR RIDE SUSPENSION VEHICLE EQUIPPED OWNERS. THE ONLY RECOURSE IS TO REPLACE THE SYSTEM WITH LIKE PARTS (WHICH FAILS AGAIN), OR TO SWAP THE AIR RIDE SYSTEM FOR TRADITIONAL COILS AND SPRING SUSPENSION, WHICH IS COSTLY. THE AIR RIDE SYSTEM IS A COSTLY FACTORY UPGRADE. HAD CHRYSLER DISCLOSED ISSUES WITH SAID SYSTEM, I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED IT, ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS ISSUE IS MOST PROBLEMATIC FOR COLD CLIMATE OWNERS, WHERE TEMPERATURES DIP BELOW FREEZING. ONE NEED MERELY GOOGLE, "CHRYSLER AIR SUSPENSION FAILURE" AND IT RETURNS "ABOUT 1,260,000 RESULTS".

I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME DRIVING 45 STARTED TO PASS VEHICLE MY TRUCK WENT DEAD AT 55 MPH. TWO LANE HIGHWAY LEFT ME STUCK IN ON COMING LANE. VEHICLES FOLLOWING ME LET ME GET BACK INTO LANE AND MERGE TO SHOULDER SAFELY. THIS WAS A HIGHWAY THAT IS VERY BUSY, THIS SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN HORRIBLE.

FIRST WEEK OF DECEMBER 2020, I HAD A NORMAL OIL CHANGE. THE FOLLOWING DAY MY RAM IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. IT WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE BATTERY (EVEN THOUGH THE BATTERY WAS ONLY A YEAR OLD). FOUND MY RAM VIN HAD LONG LIST OF OPEN RECALLS. I CONTACTED DEALERSHIP. PROVIDED WITH LOANER. SERVICE ADVISER SAID TRUCK WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE EGR RECALL. A COUPLE HUNDRED MORE MILES, A FIRE ENGINE WOULD HAVE ENSUED. MY EGR HAD COMPLETELY FAILED, COOLANT HAD GOTTEN INTO MY INTAKE. PARTS WERE BACKORDERED BECAUSE MANUFACTURING OF MODS JUST BEGAN. 12/24/20 ALL RECALL MODS/REPAIRS COMPLETED. DEALERSHIP ADVISED TRUCK WAS SAFE AND OPERABLE. RECEIVED FCAS EXTENDED LIMITED WARRANTY. 2 WEEKS LATER COOLANT/WATER LEAKING FROM UNDERNEATH. FOUND THE COOLANT LEVELS DROPPED. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP, SERVICE AT THAT TIME COULD NOT FIND LEAK. TOLD TO RECHECK IN ONE WEEK. 1 WEEK LATER, LEVELS NOT LOWER BUT COOLANT FLUID SMELL AFTER SHUTTING OFF ENGINE. TOLD IT WAS NORMAL. FRIDAY 2/12/21 TRUCK STARTED IRREGULARLY AND GURGLED. FOUND COOLANT HAD DROPPED SIGNIFICANTLY BELOW THE RECOMMENDED LEVELS. BROUGHT BACK TO DEALERSHIP. BEFORE DROPPING IT OFF ANOTHER MECHANIC FOUND COOLANT LEAK DRIPPING DOWN THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE ACTUATOR AND FRONT COVER WITH TRACES OF IT COMING OUT OF THE WATER PUMP AND VALVE COVER GASKET. PUT INTO A LOANER. I WAS TOLD MY WATER PUMP FAILED. NOT COVERED UNDER NEW FCA WARRANTY. ALL RECALL REPAIRS/MODIFICATIONS DID NOT FIX ISSUES. VEHICLE REMAINED INOPERABLE AND DANGEROUS. COOLANT NEVER STOPPED LEAKING INTO INTAKE AND OTHER AREAS OF ENGINE. THE EGR IS A COMPONENT FAILED CAUSING DOMINO BREAKDOWN OF ENTIRE TRUCK ENGINE. RECALL STATES THE FAILED EGR WILL CAUSE THERMAL FATIGUE AND HIGH TEMPERATURES TO CRACK PORTIONS OF THE COOLING SYSTEM (HENCE THE ENGINE FIRES).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V757000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RON SAYER'S CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE (490 NORTHGATE MILE IDAHO FALLS, ID 83401) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES ARE BELOW 20 DEGREES THE POWER STEERING DOES NOT WORK. AFTER THE MOTOR WARMS UP I CAN TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART AND THEN THE POWER STEERING WILL WORK

AIR SUSPENSION FAILED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAUSES THE TRUCK TO SIT UNEVEN OR ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BUMP STOPS. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE FCA INTRODUCED THE SYSTEM.

MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. IF I WARMED THE TRUCK UP AND SHIFT IT OFF, THEN RESTARTED IT THE STEERING WOULD WORK AGAIN. THEN THE VEHICLES STEERING WOULD GO OUT WHILE DRIVING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON AND THEN THE STEERING LIGHT. NOW THE POWER STEERING DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. I AM TOLD FROM A MECHANIC WHO HOOKED UP TO MY COMPUTER THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY RARE INCIDENT FOR A TRUCK SO YOUNG. AT THIS TIME I AM BEING TOLD IT IS NOT A RECALL BUT IT CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE A RECALL TO ME. THE POWER STEERING WOULD GO OUT WHILE DRIVING ON A ROAD OR HIGHWAY GOING STRAIGHT OR TURNING. *TR

AIR RIDE SUSPENSION FAILS IN WEATHER CONDITIONS BELOW FREEZING. THE TRUCK LOSES ALL AIR RIDE FUNCTIONS AND LOWERS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BUMP STOPS. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE LAKE WHEN IT STARTED TO DROP. IT IS -10 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. WITHIN 5 MILES MY TRUCK HAD LOST ALL SUSPENSION AND WAS SITTING ON THE FRAME. IT MADE THE TRUCK IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE AND I DID NOT FEEL SAFE AT ALL. I ENDED UP GOING 10 MILES PER HOUR UNTIL I MADE IT HOME.

THE POWER STEERING IS INTERMITTENT, SOMETIMES IT WORKS FINE SOMETIMES IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER

THE ABS CONTROL MODULE AND PUMP BOTH FAILED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $2200.00. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS FOR A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 64,000 MILES. THE FACT THAT BOTH UNITS FAILED AT THE SAME TIME IS SUSPICIOUS TO ME AND SUSPECT THAT ONE PART CAUSED THE OTHER TO FAIL AND IS NOT A NORMAL WEAR FAILURE. THIS SHOULD BE A COVERED REPAIR BY RAM AT NO COST TO THE OWNER BY MEANS OF A RECALL. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THAT THIS FAILURE IS COMMON ON THESE TRUCKS WHICH FURTHER CONFIRMS THERE IS A DESIGN OR PART DEFECT.

2015 RAM ECODIESEL 80K. WHILE ACCELERATING INTO A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION, THE TRUCK SHUT OFF AND ALL THE GAUGES WENT CRAZY. I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY AND RESTART IT, HOWEVER IT WILL NOT GO ABOVE 30MPH. I BROUGHT IT HOME, SCANNED IT, AND FOUND THAT THE CRANK SENSOR IS ACTING UP - THE RELUCTOR WHEEL/SENSOR NOW NEED REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $1250 ! BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS REMOVED TO REPLACE IT. I CALLED THE DEALER AND EXPLAINED TO THEM ABOUT THE RECALL, AND WHAT HAPPENED. I WAS TOLD "I'LL TALK TO MY MANAGER AND GET BACK WITH YOU" THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED YET. SOOOO CHRYSLER/DOGE/RAM/FIAT/ETC/ETC/ETC WHAT THE HECK??? I HAD JUST GOTTEN CAUGHT UP ON ALL THE PREVIOUS RECALLS, LIKE WHEN MY ERG VALVE SPLIT, NOT TO MENTION YOUR EMISSIONS SCANDAL, HAD IT BACK A MONTH WHEN THIS HAPPENS ! VERY LEARY OF BUYING ANOTHER DODGE/RAM/WHATEVER THEY ARE CALLED NOW...

POWER STEERING NOT WORKING AT FULL CAPACITY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION DEFLATED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BECOME DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT BECAME DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE ALIGN WITH THE ROAD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF EFFORT WAS NEEDED TO STEER THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CONTACTED HERITAGE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF LOGAN (2900 N MAIN ST, NORTH LOGAN, UT 84341, (435) 752-0050) WHO STATED THAT THE SUSPENSION AIR BAGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,000.

RANDOMLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WITH A PASSENGER IN THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT THE SEAT BELT ASSOCIATED WITH THAT SEATING POSITION WILL BECOME UNBUCKLED. THIS IS RANDOM AND HAPPENS REGULARLY WITH DIFFERENT PASSENGERS WITHOUT THE PASSENGER TOUCHING THE LATCH MECHANISM.

ELECTRIC STEERING QUITS WORKING AND THE STEERING WHEEL GETS HARD TO TURN, IT'LL BE FINE THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'LL QUIT WHILE TURNING OR DRIVING STRAIGHT

WHILE DRIVING THE SHIFTING IS HARD AND DOESN'T SEEM TO KNOW WHICH GEAR IT WANTS TO BE IN AT TIMES, WHEN PUT ON OBD SCAN GIVES P2704 CODE, HAVE CHECKED PLUGS, FLUID LEVELS, REPLACED SPEED SENSORS, AND STILL GIVING SAME PROBLEM, ALSO I HAVE TRIED TO HAVE KEY FOBIC PROGRAMED AND ALL IT WILL DO IS START, WILL NOT UNLOCK OR LOCK WITH CORRECT FOBIC, GIVES CODE FOR RADIO FREQUENCY HUB, I KNOW THE RECALLS HAVE BEEN CHECKED BUT THINK THEY DID NOT TAKE.

VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEED. COMPLAINED TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND WAS IGNORED. I AM A MECHANIC WITH 35+ YEARS EXPERIENCE. I AM ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THAT THE PROBLEM IS IN THE DRIVELINE AND NOT IN THE WHEELS/TIRES. THE VIBRATION CAUSES THE TRUCK TO EAT THE TIRES. I AM UNDER 65,000 MILES AND ON THE FIFTH SET OF TIRES. FOUR DIFFERENT BRANDS OF TIRES. I'VE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. I DISCUSSED A TSB WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS IGNORED AGAIN. AFTER HAVING MY TRANSMISSION REPAIRED AT THE DEALERSHIP UNDER WARRANTY, THE VIBRATION HAS GOTTEN WORSE. I AM REASONABLY CERTAIN THE VIBRATION CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM THAT I RECENTLY HAD TO HAVE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY.

W58 RECALL. STILL NO REMEDY. SCARED TO DRIVE TRUCK DUE TO SAFETY

POWER STEERING NOT SAFE, LOCKED UP. REACTS THE SAME WAY A POWER STEERING PUMP WOULD ACT OF LOW OR BLOWN. IN RESEARCH LOOKS LIKE THERE WAS ALREADY A RECALL FOR SAME YEARS AND MODELS FOR THIS SAME THING BUT MINE WASN'T INCLUDED. HOWEVER MY STEERING LOCKED UP AND HARD TO TURN. NOT SAFE.

DODGE/RAM HAS KNOWLEDGE OF A FAULTY FUEL SENSOR FAILURE ON RAM TRUCKS THAT CAN CAUSE A DRIVER TO BECOME STRANDED DUE TO A SUDDEN LOSS OF FUEL LEVEL READINGS. THE SENSOR IS PRONE TO FAILURE AS EARLY AS 20,000 MILES. THERE ARE LOTS OF ONLINE NEWGROUP COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AND DODGE/RAM HAS REPRESENTATION ON THOSE GROUPS, AS WELL, SO THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. MY VEHICLE IS JUST OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY WITH 70,000 MILES AND THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR HAS FAILED THROWING A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND A DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P0463 FOR 'FUEL LEVEL SENSOR 'A' CIRCUIT HIGH. THE OUT OF POCKET COST TO REPAIR THIS IS SUBSTANTIAL, AND THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE PRONE TO THE FAILURE, AS WELL.

THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON A RURAL HIGHWAY, HAPPENED SUDDENLY, AND LEFT US STRANDED WHEN WE RAN OUT OF FUEL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, AND SHOULD BE A MANDATORY RECALL ITEM.

RELUCTOR WHEEL/ SENSOR FAILURE UNDER RECALL W58. I AM TOLD NO POSSIBLE FIX UNTIL AFTER APRIL 1, 2021. OVER 4 MONTHS OFF THE ROAD FOR A RECALL ANNOUNCED 7 MONTHS AGO. DEALER AND FCA HAVE OFFERED NO REMEDY.

POWER STEERING FAILED TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY. LOSS OF POWER STEERING WAS MORE PREVALENT DURING FREEZING CONDITIONS. THIS HAS CAUSED UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS AND WAS EXPERIENCED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BOTH IN A STATIONARY POSITION AND IN MOTION. THE CERTIFIED RAM DEALERSHIP STATED THE CAUSE WAS A FAULTY POWER STEERING GEAR BOX.

MY DODGE RAM 1500 ECO DIESEL CAUGHT ON FIRE YESTERDAY AND BURNT UP. THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT FOR THE SEIDEL EGR COOLER

POWER STEERING CONSTANTLY IS GOING IN AND OUT. SOMETIMES FOR A DAY OR TWO, SOMETIMES EVERY OTHER TURN, AND SOMETIMES EVERY TURN IS HALF POWER STEERING AND HALF NOT (KIND OF LIKE PULSING). I'VE HAD 2 RACK AND PINION REPLACEMENTS WITH STILL ONGOING ISSUES. THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR MY YEAR TRUCK, BUT MY TRUCK IS NOT APART OF IT EVEN THOUGH I'M EXPERIENCING THE EXACT ISSUES OF THE RECALL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE SITTING IDLE AND THE BRAKE DEPRESSED WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED FORWARD. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THEY HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM ACCELERATING. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER IN THE VEHICLE THAT WAS CRASHED INTO RECEIVED INJURIES AND MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED HOWEVER THE VEHICLE HAD TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE'S WHEELS TO UNLOCK AND MOVE ONTO THE FLATBED. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE DEALER (STEVE WHITE MOTORS 3470 US HWY 70 SE, NEWTON, NC 28658, (828) 464-3458) WHO INFORMED THEM THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE HOWEVER THEY WERE UNABLE TO ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,238.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS VEHICLE WAS IDLE, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO OVERHEAT AND WHITE SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM THE ENGINE WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE TO PREVENT IT FROM CATCHING ON FIRE. THE CONTACT THEN CALLED AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO ARRIVED AND INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN ABNORMAL CLICKING SOUND WAS COMING FROM THE ENGINE SINCE EXPERIENCING THE FAILURE. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 72,000.*DT*JB

P0364 FUEL SENSOR FAILURE. GAS INSTRUMENT GAUGE SUDDENLY GOES EMPTY WHILE IN MOTION AND NO LONGER WORKS. DEFECTIVE FUEL SENDING UNIT SENSOR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO HAVE FAILING PARTS INSIDE GAS TANK.

THE AIR SUSPENSION ON MY 2015 RAM 1500 HAS BEEN FAILING (BLOWING FUSES WHILE DRIVING, FREEZING UP AND FAILING TO INFLATE BEFORE STARTUP) EACH WINTER FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS. AS MENTIONED ABOVE, THE SYSTEM CAN FAIL WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, DUE TO BLOWN FUSES FROM AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN THE SYSTEM. IT ALSO CAN JUST FAIL TO INFLATE ON COLD DAYS. THE SYSTEM APPARENTLY WAS NOT INSTALLED WITH AN AIR DRYING CAPABILITY CAUSING THESE ISSUES ABOVE AND THIS SHOULD BE EXPECTED IN COLDER CLIMATES. THE AIR SUSPENSION IS A 'CLOSED' SYSTEM, BUT WAS BUILT IS CAPABLE OF PULLING IN AIR FROM THE OUTSIDE UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS (MEANING IT IS NOT A CLOSED SYSTEM). GIVEN THE FACT THIS ABILITY WAS INCORPORATED INTO THE SYSTEM, AN AIR DRYING SYSTEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED AS WELL. IT IS A CRITICAL SAFETY CONCERN WHEN THE SYSTEM FAILS TO INFLATE THE AIR SUSPENSION AND FCA SHOULD HAVE KNOWN IT WOULD FAIL. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECALL REIMBURSING PEOPLE FOR THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH FIXING FAILURES OF THIS SYSTEM (COMPRESSOR AND AIR BAG FAILURES) AS WELL AS THE INSTALLATION OF A REMEDY (FULL REPLACEMENT) TO PERMANENTLY FIX THE SYSTEM.

AEM UPDATE CAUSED VEHICLE TO PERFORM IN AN UNSAFE MANNER. HESITATES UPON ACCELERATION FROM STOP. TRANSMISSION SHIFTS IRREGULAR AND NO LONGER SLOWS VEHICLE DOWNHILL. DURING ACCELERATION MOTOR CAN REDLINE AND CAUSE A RAPID DECELERATION. NEVER SURE EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN PRESSING THE FUEL PEDAL. NEVER SURE IF IT WILL SAFELY GO WHEN IT IS SUPPOSED TO. FUEL ECONOMY IS ALSO REDUCED FROM 28 MPG TO 25 MPG. IT IS NOW A SCARY VEHICLE TO DRIVE. WAS IN RIGHT LANE EASTBOUND ON HIGHWAY 152 GOING OVER PACHEO PASS BEHIND SLOW TRUCK TRAFFIC AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE WHILE CHANGING LANES THE MOTOR WENT TO REDLINE AND DEPOWERED. I QUICKLY HAD TO BRAKE AND GET BACK IN THE RIGHT LANE BEHIND THE TRUCK TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE HAD NEVER DONE ANYTHING LIKE THAT IN THE 4-1/2 YEARS PRIOR TO THE AEM. THEY RUINED MY TRUCK WITH THE MODIFICATIONS, IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE TRUCK SHUTS OFF POWER WHEN ACCELERATING.

I HAD SAFETY RECALL U74 DONE IN JULY 2018 , IN MY TAILGATE . THE PROBLEM IS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. AND I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. MY ISSUE IS HOW IS A SAFETY RECALL OUT OF WARRANTY AND TAT I HAVE TO FIX ON MY OWN NOW ? I AM SO UPSET AT THE TREATMENT . THIS SHOULD BE COVERED AGAIN.

WHAT IS A TIMLY MANNER FOR A RECALL TO BE DONE BEEN WAITING SINCE AUGUST 2020

THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING DOWN THE ROAD AS I'M DRIVING THE TRUCK JUST LOOSES ALL POWER CUTS OFF AND I HAVE TO JERK IT TO SIDE OF THE ROAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. IT'S THE TONE WHEEL FOR CRANKSHAFT AND CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR. AND WHEN TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP THEY HAVE NO PARTS TO FIX MY TRUCKS AND I WAS GIVEN A CASE WORKER WITH FCA OR DODGE AND THEY CAN'T GET THE PARTS IT'S BEEN 3 MONTHS.

ON OCTOBER 1, 2020, MY TRUCK STALLED WHILE PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND WOULD NOT RESTART. A YOUTUBE VIDEO LINK IS PROVIDED AT THE END OF THIS DESCRIPTION. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP EVER SINCE. TODAY (DECEMBER 7, 2020) MARKS 68 CONSECUTIVE DAYS OUT OF SERVICE FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THE TRUCK REMAINS UNDRIVEABLE. THE PROBLEM WAS IMMEDIATELY DIAGNOSED AS A BAD CRANK POSITION SENSOR AND TONE RING. THESE SAME PARTS WERE RECALLED UNDER 20V-475 (FCA RECALL W58) BACK IN AUGUST. I RECEIVED WRITTEN NOTIFICATION OF THE RECALL APPROXIMATELY 1 WEEK AFTER MY TRUCK FAILED. FCA AND BIG O DODGE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPAIR MY TRUCK IN A REASONABLE TIME, AND ARE UNWILLING TO PROVIDE A FAIR TRADE-IN VALUE OR DISCUSS BUYPACK. THIS, DESPITE THE TRUCK BEING PART OF THE ECODIESEL CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT THAT REQUIRES FCA TO BUYBACK TRUCKS THAT EXPERIENCE >30 DAYS OUT OF SERVICE DURING THE 18 MONTHS FOLLOWING THE EMISSIONS MODIFICATION SOFTWARE.

MY VECHICLE RECENTLY DID NOT START JUST GOT A DEAD CLICK WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED WITH A JUMP START BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECK THEY TOLD ME THERE NO CODES IN THE SYSTEM TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM ASKED ME TO LEAVE THE VECHICLE TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM REACCURED BUT IT DID NOT. 2 DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED I WAS 50 MILES FROM HOME I WAS ABLE TO GET VEHICLE STARTED TO IT TO THE DEALER GOT THE SAME DIAGNOSIS NO CODES AND THEY CAN DETERMINE THE CAUSE SO NOW I HAVE A VECHICLE THAT I DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL START WHEN I GET IN IT . I CALLED RAM CUSTOMER CARE AT 18009921997 AND WAS TOLD THE DEALER FOLLOWED THERE PROTOCOL AND WITH OUT CODES OR REPLICATION OF THE ISSUE IT CAN NOT BE FIXED. I FIND THAT TO BE ABSURD THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE A ISSUE WITH THERE VECHICLE AND I'M LEFT TO BE THE GUINEA PIG. I HAVE FAMILY AND TRAVEL TO WORK NOT KNOWING IF I WILL BE STRANDED WHEREVER I AM NOT A GOT OR SAFE SITUATION. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP WITH THIS ISSUE

MY VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 94. I WAS WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD TODDLER AND HAD TO WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK AND MY WIFE TO PICK US UP. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED BACK HOME TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC TO LOOK AND DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THE DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A CRANK SENSOR TONE RING. THEY ALSO NOTIFIED ME THERE WAS A RECALL COMING FOR THIS ISSUE. I CONTACTED FCA AND WAS DIRECTED TO TOW THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED DEALER. I TOWED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE DEALER AND THEY DETERMINED THE ISSUE IS THE SAME AS MY LOCAL MECHANIC DETERMINED. I AM ALSO BEING TOLD THERE IS CURRENTLY NOT A FIX FOR THIS PART, ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. FCA SAID THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR ANY OF THE TOWING AND DIAGNOSTICS. SINCE IT WAS THERE FAULTY PART THAT CAUSED ME TO BECOME STUCK ON THE SIDE OF AN INTERSTATE I AM LOOKING TO BE COMPENSATED FOR THE REPAIRS, DIAGNOSTICS, AND TOWING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I WILL BE WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR "QUITE AWHILE" ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. THE FCA RECALL NUMBER IS W58.

IVE RECEIVED SOME RECALLS ON MY 2015 RAM. THE EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) COOLER AN EGR COOLER WITH AN INTERNAL CRACK WILL INTRODUCE PRE-HEATED, VAPORIZED COOLANT TO THE EGR SYSTEM WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, THIS MIXTURE INTERACTS WITH OTHER HYDROCARBONS AND AIR IN THE SYSTEM, POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN COMBUSTION WITHIN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD, WHICH MAY LEAD TO A VEHICLE FIRE.ALSO DAMAGING THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. IVE BEEN WAITING 4 MONTHS FOR THE PARTS, IN THE MEANTIME THE INTAKE IS GETTING DAMAGED. THE OTHER RECALL THE MAGNETIC MATERIAL ATTACHED TO THE TONE WHEEL PROVIDES A SIGNAL TO THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. IF THIS SIGNAL MATERIAL IS LOST, THE ENGINE LOSES ITS ABILITY TO SYNCHRONIZE INJECTOR PULSES AND CAM TIMING. THIS LOSS OF CRANKSHAFT POSITION CAN RESULT IN AN ENGINE STALL, AS WELL AS LOSS OF THE ABILITY TO RESTART THE ENGINE.THE REMEDY IS TO UPDATE THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE TO MAINTAIN VEHICLE PROPULSION BY READING THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SIGNAL IN THE EVENT THAT CRANKSHAFT POSITION SIGNAL IS LOST. HOW IS UPDATING SOFTWARE GOING TO PREVENT SOMETHING FROM COMING APART WHY NOT REPLACE THE PART.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL BANGING SOUND DETECTED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR AXLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT CALLED ADDY'S HARBOR DODGE RAM FIAT (4849 US-501, MYRTLE BEACH, SC 29579, (843) 492-7348) HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED HOWEVER, NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE CONTACT STATED THE FAILURE WAS LIKE THE FAILURE LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V661000 (POWER TRAIN). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 67,500.

THE VEHICLE SUSPENSION FAILS AT RANDOM TIMES AND THE TRUCK BOUNCES VIOLENTLY, BUT NOT ALL CORNERS OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH CAUSES ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE SWERVING. THE SUSPENSION THEN RIDES ON THE BUMP STOPS AND HITS ALL BUMPS VERY HARD. SOMETIMES YOU CAN STOP, SHUT DOWN AND RESTART, LET THE VEHICLE IDLE FOR A FEW MINUTES AND IT WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AND IT CAN HAPPEN VERY SWIFTLY. SO FAR I'VE MANAGED TO CONTROL IT, BUT AM AFRAID THAT SOMETIME WHEN TOWING MY TRAVEL TRAILER IT WILL CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL AND BE THE CAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT WITH POSSIBILITY OF SERIOUS INJURIES. I SELECTED A DATE BELOW, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TO 20 TIMES! YOU DON'T GET THE OPTION TO PICK MULTIPLE DATES. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL RAM DEALERS AND NONE SEEM TO HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. FIAT CHRYSLER MUST ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR VERY SERIOUSLY INJURED. I HAVE NO DOCUMENTATION BECAUSE THE DEALERS ADMIT THEY HAVE NO IDEA, SO I HAVEN'T TAKE IT IN. ONLINE FORUMS FOR RAM INDICATE THAT THERE ARE MANY TRUCKS EXHIBITING THESE SYMPTOMS. ONCE WHEN IT HAPPENED I WAS TOWING MY TRAVEL TRAILER (APPROXIMATELY 6,000 LBS.) AND IT SWERVED SO VIOLENTLY THAT MY WIFE SCREAMED AND THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO CRASH!

2 DIFFERENT TIMES WHEN I START MY TRUCK THERE IS NO POWER STEERING, TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM. THERE IS A RECALL ON SOME TRUCKS SAME YEAR AND MAKE BUT MY TRUCK'S VIN # DOES NOT FALL WITHIN RECALL #'S ALTHOUGH IT IS HAVING SAME PROBLEM AS RECALL- COMPANY WILL NOT COVER.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS ONCE THE TRUCK IS PUT IN PARK IT WILL JUMP INTO REVERSE. THIS HAS CAUSED TWO ACCIDENTS. THE FIRST ONE CAUSED DAMAGE TO MY GARAGE DOOR, AND THE SECOND ONE CAUSED DAMAGE TO SOMEONE'S VEHICLE.

THE VEHICLE ENGINE GOT ON FIRE. THE CAUSE WAS A DEFECT ON DIESEL EGR COOLER.

MY RAM 1500 TRUCK HEMI ENGINE STARTED WITH A TICKING SOUND, THEN DEVELOPED INTO A STALLING ISSUE AND A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISPLAY. THE DODGE RAM DEALER SAID IT IS AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE LIFTERS AND REQUIRES THE DISMANTLING OF THE ENTIRE ENGINE TO FIX. THE SERVICE WRITER ADVISED ME THAT THIS WAS A DANGEROUS CONDITION, AND IF NOT REPAIRED THE ENGINE WOULD BLOW UP! I DID SOME RESEARCH AND THIS ISSUE IS RAMPANT OF THE RAM TRUCKS WITH THE HEMI ENGINE. THERE ARE MANY VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE DISCUSSING THIS PROBLEM, AND THE MECHANICS ON THESE VIDEOS SAY THAT THIS PROBLEM IS EXTREMELY WIDESPREAD. THE REPAIR WOULD COST OVER $ 6,000. I HAVE SAVED SOME OF THE VIDEOS AND WILL GLADLY SHARE THEM WITH YOU IF NEEDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 RAM 1500 ECO DIESEL. THE CONTACT RECEIVED RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER:19V757000(ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER HENDRICK CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT WILMINGTON (219 S COLLEGE RD, WILMINGTON, NC 28403). WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 55 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED HE STOPPED AND CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND SAW NO VISIBLE ISSUES SO HE CONTINUED TO DRIVE HOME. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN HE PULLED INTO HIS DRIVEWAY THE BRAKES FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED HE GOT OUT AND NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT STATED HE TRIED TO PUT THE FIRE OUT HIMSELF WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER. HOWEVER, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND PUT THE FIRE OUT. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS AT HIS RESIDENCE AND CURRENTLY WAITING FOR THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000.

SEVERAL EXHAUST MANIFOLD TO ENGINE BOLTS HAVE BROKEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V475000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT CONTACTED BOB RICHARDS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (1666 JEFFERSON DAVIS HWY, GRANITEVILLE, SC 29829; (803) 663-9500) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE THROTTLE FAILURE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE SAME DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO THE RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

I NOTICED A STALE SMELL COMING FROM THE BACK OF THE CAB THAT WOULD COME AND I WOULD ENCOUNTER A STALE SMELL THAT WOULD COME AND GO AWAY. I GOOGLED THESE IF ANYONE ELSE WITH THE SAME TRUCK WAS HAVING THIS ISSUE. I CAME ACROSS SOMEONE AND THEY STATED TO CHECK UNDERNEATH THE BACK SEAT AND SURE ENOUGH IT WAS WET FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. I THINK IT IS COMING FROM THE THE REAR BODY EXHAUST VENTS THAT ARE NOT SEALING PROPERLY.

WATER IS LEAKING INTO THE LEFT HEADLIGHT HOUSING WHICH CAUSES THE TURN SIGNAL TO MALFUNCTION, SIGNIFICANT FOGGING AND CONDENSATION IN THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY UNIT WHICH REDUCES VISIBILITY FROM THE HEADLIGHT AND CAUSES AN ERROR MESSAGE. THIS ISSUE IS CONSTANT SINCE IT BEGAN AND HAS NOT IMPROVED. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND IS A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OR MANUFACTURE OF THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS SON WAS DRIVING AT 70 MPH, AN ABNORMAL ODOR APPEARED AS FLAMES WERE UNDER THE HOOD. THE DRIVER MERGED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND EXITED THE VEHICLE WHEN IT ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED MINOR BURNS TO BOTH LEGS. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CONTACTED AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE POLICE TOWED THE VEHICLE TO THE CONTACTS HOUSE WHERE IT WAS PENDING AN INSPECTION BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE DEALER BUCKALEW CHEVROLET (1100 I-45 S, CONROE, TX 77301) WAS CONTACTED WHERE THE CONTACT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON AUG 7,2020 AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE REPAIR WAS PREVIOUSLY COMPLETED FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V757000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT A TECHNICIAN WOULD COME OUT TO HIS RESIDENTS BUT NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 130,000.*DT*JB

UNABLE TO OPEN THE DRIVERS DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. CHEAP DESIGN CABLE AT THE HANDLE BROKE. VERY COMMON PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN NOT BEING ABLE TO GET OUT IN THE EVENT OF A WRECK OR FIRE. I WAS JUST TRYING TO GET OUT AFTER PARKING. NO TRAMA OR DAMAGE.

AN ISSUE WAS NOTICED WITH MY 2015 RAM ECODIESEL BECAUSE OF A LARGE AMOUNT OIL WAS POURING OUT FROM UNDER THE TRUCK WHILE BRIEFLY STOPPED AT A STORE. ONCE THE ISSUE WAS NOTICED, THE ENGINE WAS IMMEDIATELY STOPPED. UPON INVESTIGATION, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT OIL WAS POURING OUT OF THE COOLANT RESERVOIR OVERFLOW AND IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE RESERVOIR WAS FULL OF OIL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED FOR SERVICE TO PREVENT THE POTENTIAL OF COOLANT GETTING INTO THE ENGINE OIL PAN AND/OR TO PREVENT THE ENGINE FROM LOSING OIL PRESSURE AND/OR ALL OIL. UPON RESEARCH ONLINE, IT WAS NOTICED THAT THERE WERE SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THE RAM ECODIESEL ENGINE HAVING OIL COOLER FAILURES. IT WAS CONFIRMED BY THE MECHANIC THAT THE OIL COOLER HAD FAILED IN MY RAM ECODIESEL ENGINE AS WELL. WITH ALL OF THE POSTINGS DISCOVERED ONLINE REGARDING FAILED OIL COOLERS ON THE RAM ECODIESEL ENGINES, IT IS BELIEVED THAT THERE IS A DESIGN/MANUFACTURING FLAW ASSOCIATED WITH THE OIL COOLER ON THESE ENGINES. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY ISSUES WITH THE RAM ECODIESEL ENGINES AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS ANOTHER ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE REMEDIED BY THE MANUFACTURER. INCLUDING INSTALLATION OF A NEW OIL COOLER, NEW COOLANT HOSES, RENTAL CAR, AND TOWING, THIS ENTIRE ISSUE COST ME $2,128.52.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER STEERING ASSIST. AN UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF WHICH WARNING LIGHT WAS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS NOTED THAT THERE WERE THREE UNRELATED RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CALLED SEVERAL DEALERS INCLUDING BOB ALLEN DODGE LOCATED AT 725 MAPLE AVE, DANVILLE, KY 40422, (866-403-8148, WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE ASSOCIATED WITH THE STEERING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 36,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THREE SEPARATE DEALERS AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY SAID NOT TO WORRY ABOUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT UNLESS IT STARTED TO BLINK. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE TRAVELLING UP A HILL AND DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART TO REBOOT THE COMPUTER TO REGAIN POWER. THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER HOMETOWN MOTORS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP (602 HIGHWAY 95, WEISER, ID 83672 208-549-6020) AND THEY RAN A CHECK ON THE COMPUTER. THEY SAID THERE WAS A LEAK FROM THE EXHAUST BUT RESCHEDULED THE APPOINTMENT FOR THE FOLLOWING WEEK. THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND IT BACKFIRED THEN BLACK SMOKE CAME OUT BOTH TAIL PIPES. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER AND FLAMES CAME OUT OF THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE BURNT TO THE GROUND. THE MANUFACTURER HAD AN INDEPENDENT INSPECTOR CHECK THE WRECKAGE AND ABSOLVED THEMSELVES AND THE DEALER OF ANY FAULT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE INCIDENT REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT'S WERE WAITING FOR A SETTLEMENT FROM THEIR INSURANCE COMPANY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

PURCHASED NEW: 08/03/2015 FIRST ENGINE FAILED 4/27/18 (WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY) TRAVELING 65MPH ON I-495 BELTWAY AND IN THE SPAN OF 10 SECONDS, ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, THE ENGINE MADE A TERRIBLE GRINDING NOISE, AND IT COMPLETELY DIED ON THE SHOULDER. EMISSIONS SETTLEMENT: 05/2019 (100K WARRANTY INFO FROM DATE OF EMISSIONS SOFTWARE UPDATE). DRASTIC LOSS IN MPG (5MPG), POWER, AND TURBO LAG AFTER EMISSION SOFTWARE UPDATE. SECOND ENGINE FAILED: 8/03/2020. TRAVELING 65MPH ON I-83. NO LIGHTS, ONLY A ENGINE KNOCKING SOUND. REROUTED TO DEALER 1 MILE AWAY, AND IT COMPLETELY DIED 1/2 MILE LATER. MAJOR RECALLS OVER THE SHORT LIFE OF THIS TRUCK, AND NOW FCA IS POTENTIALLY UNWILLING TO COVER THE COST OF THE 3RD ENGINE, EVEN THOUGH IT ONLY HAS ~30K MILES ON IT. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IN WRITING THE BLOWN ENGINE WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT THE NEW ENGINE WAS ON ORDER. THEN THEY TOLD ME THE FOLLOWING DAY THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED OR ORDERED. THE PART WARRANTY IS 2 YEARS (FOR A DIESEL ENGINE), WHICH I MISSED BY 2 MONTHS. I'VE ONLY BEEN DRIVING 1 WEEK OUT OF THE MONTH DURING COVID, SO THIS RECENT PROBLEM WOULD HAVE HAPPENED INSIDE THE 2-YEAR PART WARRANTY IF COVID HAD NOT HAPPENED. NOW I'M SPENDING MY OWN TIME AND MONEY TO PAY THE DIAGNOSTIC AND TOWING FEES FOR A 2ND RAM DEALERSHIP TO DO A FULL ENGINE TEARDOWN. I ALSO DON'T HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE, SO I HAVE HAD TO TAKE PERSONAL DAYS AT WORK WHEN I CAN'T BORROW VEHICLES FROM FAMILY. I PROVIDED FCA A LINK TO A FOLDER CONTAINING EVERY SERVICE RECORD, PURCHASE DATA AND PREVIOUS CONVERSATIONS WITH VARIOUS DEALERS WHEN THE 1ST ENGINE BLEW AS WELL AS THE EMISSIONS SETTLEMENT. FCA CASE MANAGERS HAVE BEEN FRIENDLY AND POLITE, BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO THINK THERE IS ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

KEY FOB WILL NOT START ENGINE. IF YOU UNLOCK DOORS & BEGIN PROCESS AGAIN, IT USUALLY STARTS. FOB BATTERY HAS BEEN CHANGED SO WEAK BATTERY NOT LIKELY THE PROBLEM. PROBLEM BEGIN BEGAN ABOUT A MONTH AGO.HAPPENS A COUPLE TIMES EA WEEK.

HELLO I JUST SAW THE RECALL FOR.THE RAM 1500 NO :20V-475 WHICH IS A COMMON FAILURE PART ON THOSE TRUCK. ANOTHER MAJOR FAILURE PART ON THOSE TRUCK IS THE MAIN BEARING ON THE CRANKSHAFT. WHEN THEY FAIL THE BASE OF.THE MOTOR EXPLODE AND IS A TOTAL LOSS. FCA ADMITTED THE PROBLEM WHEN THEY CHANGE THE OIL GRADE. BUT THEY STILL FAIL ALOT. WHEN THEY FAIL THE TRUCK ALSO LOST ALL THE POWER SINCE THE ENGINE SUDDENTLY STOP WORKING AND SEND PIECE FLY UNDER THE TRUCK RISKING INJURY OTHER PEOPLE FOLLOWING. THEY ARE SEVERAL BEARING FAILURE OF THOSE ECODIESEL ENGINE. I DIDNT EXPERIENCE THIS BUT ONLINE THOSE BEARING ARE REFERED AS TICKING BOMB. NOBODY KNOW WHEN THEY FAIL, BUT THEY WILL EVENTUALLY. SOME PEOPLE HAD THIEIR MOTOR CHANGED UP TO THREE TIME. MOST OF THEM ARE 14-15 TRUCK SINCE THEY RUN ON OLD OIL SPECIFICATION. BUT THE 16-18 STILL FAIL . ACCORDING TO A STUDY ON A FAILED ENGINE , ITS SUPPOSED DUE TO A LACK OF BEARING LUBRIFICATION. THE OIL KEY AND HOLE GET CLUGGED ( MOSTLY BY SOOT PROBABLY FROM THE EGR ) SO THE BEARING WONT GET LUBRICATED , OVERHEAT, FAILED SEND THE PISTON AND ROD INTO THE OIL PAN, WHICH RESULT OF A CATASTROPIC FAILURE SEND OIL AND PARTS ON THE ROAD SOMETIME AT HIGHEAY SPEED, WHICH RESULT AS A PARTIAL BRAKE AND STEERING LOSS. SOME FAILED AT HIGHER MILLAGE SUCH AS 90 000 MILES AND SOME FAIL UNDER 20 000 MILES

RIGHT FRONT BRAKE CALIPER LOCKED UP CAUSING FRONT WHEEL TO SMOKE AND CREATE FIRE RISK. LEFT FRONT CALIPER LOCKED UP 10 MONTHS AGO CAUSING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HEAVIER SMOKE. I FILED A REPORT LAST YEAR FOR THE LEFT FRONT CALIPER.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY PULLING A SMALL 16 FT. CAMPER (I77 NB, MM ~68 IN NORTH CAROLINA), I NOTICED A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ALONG WITH OTHER WARNING LIGHTS, I TRIED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE ENGINE DID NOT RESPOND. I WAS ABLE TO PULL SAFELY ONTO THE SHOULDER AND POPPED THE HOOD WHERE I NOTICED FLAMES. I TOLD MY FAMILY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE AND TRIED TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES (WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER FROM MY CAMPER) TO NO AVAIL. WE CALLED 911 AND WAITED FOR THE FIRE CREW TO ARRIVE. THE VEHICLE IS A COMPLETE LOSS. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE (19V-757) REGARDING EGR ISSUES AND POTENTIAL FOR ENGINE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE LOCAL DEALER AND HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED ON MAY 18TH. THE RECALL WAS LISTED AS COMPLETE AND INSPECTED, HOWEVER AFTER REPORTING THE INCIDENT TO FCA, THE STATUS OF THE RECALL ON MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN CHANGED TO OPEN. ATTACHED YOU WILL SEE PHOTOS OF THE SHOP VISIT SHOWING RECALL COMPLETION. I ALSO HAVE A SCREEN SHOT OF THE INITIAL VIN LOOK UP ON 8/8/2020 SHOWING THE RECALL COMPLETED, HOWEVER THERE IS NOW AN UPDATE SHOWING THE RECALL AS OPEN, UPDATED ON 8/17/2020. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AS A RESULT OF THIS INCIDENT, HOWEVER I WAS QUICK TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, OBSERVE THE FIRE AND TELL MY FAMILY TO EXIT. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO FCA CASE [XXX] WHO HAVE SENT OUT AN INVESTIGATOR TO THE VEHICLE. FCA TODAY ISSUED ME A STATEMENT SAYING THE INFORMATION AT HAND DOES NOT PERMIT THEM TO ASSOCIATE THE FIRE WITH A MANUFACTURING OR ASSEMBLY ERROR. GIVEN THE GRAVITY OF THE FIRE, DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE AND POTENTIAL INJURY TO PEOPLE I FEEL THAT IF THE CAUSE CANNOT BE ASCERTAINED OR CORRECTED IT SHOULD BE REPORTED AS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION.*DT*DT*JB INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB*DT*JB

I ALMOST GOT T BONED/HIT BY A CAR WHEN I PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND THE TRUCK LAGGED AND FINALLY PICKED UP SPEED. THEN MY HUSBAND ALMOST GOT US T BONED/HIT WHEN HE PULLED OUT AND THE TRUCK LAGGED AGAIN AND WOULD NOT PICK UP. I HAD ENOUGH TIME TO YELL AT HIM TO GO AND HE SAID" I'M TRYING, I'M PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR BUT IT WON'T GO." THERE WAS A SAFE DISTANCE IN BOTH INSTANCES TO NORMALLY PULL OUT BUT THIS TRUCK IS A REAL DANGER TO DRIVE. I THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY AND JUST TRYING TO GET USED TO THE VEHICLE I HAD JUST PURCHASED. NEXT OCCURRENCE, I HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE TRUCK WITH ME AND WE HAD PICKED UP DINNER AND MILKSHAKES. I WAS GOING UP A SMALL HILL AND THE TRUCK LAGGED, YET AGAIN, WHEN IT DID PICK UP IT SPILLED THE MILKSHAKES IN MY SONS LAP. HE WAS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED AND MY DAUGHTER WAS TOSSED BACK IN THE REAR SEAT. THIS VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS AND I TOTALLY REGRET BUYING IT. I FEEL LIKE THIS WAS A HUGE MISTAKE. TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY, IT HAD A VERY LOUD FAN NOISE THAT I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT. NOW IT SMELLS LIKE AN ANTIFREEZE LEAK BUT I CAN NOT FIND IT. THE TEMP RAN HOT AND I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER. I DISCOVERED THE ANTIFREEZE LOOKED LOW, WE ADDED ANTIFREEZE. THE OIL WAS JUST CHANGED BY THE DEALER WHEN I PURCHASED IT. NO FLUIDS SHOULD BE LOW. THIS WAS A GIGANTIC MISTAKE OF A PURCHASE. NOW THAT I SEE THERE IS A RECALL, I ASSUME WE WILL DIE BY GETTING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE OR WE WILL DIE BY FIRE, TAKE YOUR PICK! I WAS A HUGE DODGE FAN SINCE I OWNED A 3500 BEFORE, THIS TRUCK CAN NOT HOLD A CANDLE TO MY OLD DODGE. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN THE ECO DIESEL!!

WHILE DRIVING THE VEICHLE WHEN TRYING TO MAKE A TURN ALL ASSIST WAS GONE.

VEHICLE HAVING A TICKING NOISE FROM TOP OF ENGINE AFTER LOW MILEAGE. THERE HAS BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS KIND OF PROBLEM. IT APPEARS THE PROBLEM IS BAD MANUFACTURED VALVE & CAMS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD CAUSE ENGINE CEASED ON HIGHWAY, I HAVE A V6 ENGINE, THE MANUFACTURE HAD FIXED LEFT SIDE UNDER WARRANTY, BUT NOW HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE RIGHT AND WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. I FEEL THIS SHOULD HAD BEEN A RECALL AND NOT WARRANTY DUE TO THE MANUFACTURE KNOWN THAT THEY HAVE THIS PROBLEM, THERE IS A LOT OF THE SAME COMPLAINT ON THE INTERNET , THEY ONLY REPAIRING IT UNDER WARRANTY OR NOT IF IT FAILS AND NOT ADDRESSING THE ISSUE. MY ISSUE HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY.

FOR OVER 2 YEARS PROBLEM OF NOISE (BEARINGS IN A GLASS JAR SOUND) HAS BEEN OCCURRING. TAKEN INTO 4 DEALERSHIPS WITH "WE CAN'T HEAR IT" - 8TH TIME OF BRINGING IT TO DEALERSHIPS ATTENTION AS OF THIS WEEK - ENGINE LOCKED UP & STOPPED IN A 6 LANE TRAFFIC 18 MOS AGO WITH BLOCK REPLACED - NOISE SITLL THERE, OPEN A TICKET WITH CHRYSLER 3 WKS AGO. TURBO CHANGED OUT (HOLE IN IT) NOISE STILL THERE, DROVE MY VEHICLE AND ONE ON THE LOT AND WAS TOLD NOISE IS JUST WHAT IT IS. MECHANIC COULD STILL HEAR IT BUT SERVICE MGR SAID NOTHING WRONG WITH TRUCK "DRIVE FOR 2 WKS AND BRING BACK IF NOT HAPPY. NOISE IS COMING FROM THE HALF SHAFT AT 2000/2400 RPMS VIBRATION IN WALLOWED OUR RING. WORRIED OF BEING STRANDED WITH FAMILY ON THE ROAD/SAFETY ISSUE. HISTORY IS UNDERVIN#. FIELDS CHRYSLER IN ASHEVILLE KEPT VEHICLE FOR 3 WKS. 2015 ON THEIR LOT THAT WAS TRADED IN BECAUSE OWNER WAS CONCERN W/SAFETY AND COULD NOT STAND THE NOISE ANY LONGER. NOISE NOT THERE WHEN PURCHASED NEW - STARTED END OF 2017. THIS IS ALSO WHEN I QUESTIONED ENGINE ISSUES AND HAD ENGINE LOCK UP 18 MOS AGO AFTER BEING IN AND OUT OF DEALERSHIPS. LUCKY TO BE ALIVE

THERES A VIBRATING WITH THE TRUCK WHEN REACH 50 AND UP MPH AND SHAKES THE WHOLE TRUCK HAD EVERYTHING CHECKED AND DEALERSHIP SAID THEY SAW NOTHING

FUEL SENSOR FAILURE, WITHOUT ANY WARNING FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY WHILE IN MOTION, NOT KNOWING THE CAUSE HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TO SEE IF THERE WAS A LEAK OR PUNCTURE. RESEARCHING THE INTERNET THIS SEEMS LIKE COMMON PROBLEM THAT RAM WILL NOT ADDRESS .

REAR DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEMS. WHINING NOISE HAPPENING ON A TAKEN CARE OF VEHICLE. HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING. DUE TO ISSUES AND RECALLS OF OTHER YEARS I AM WONDERING IF THAT IS THE CASE FOR THIS YEARS MODEL AS WELL. HAS THIS BEEN LOOKED INTO AS A PROBLEM ON THE 2015 RAM SINCE PREVIOUS AND FUTURE YEARS HAD THE ISSUE

VEHICLE HAS MORE THAN ONE RECALL. ONLY ONE RECALL IS STATED HERE.VEHICLE DOES NOT GO OVER 40 MPH IN MOTION. VEHICLE HAS HAD TWO FIRES RELEVANT TO THE RECALL STATED WHILE IN MOTION. RESOLUTION TO REPLACE LEMON VEHICLE IS NOT BEING MET. THIS VEHICLE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED IMMEDIATELY TO ASSIST IN THE RECOGNITION OF MORE APPLICABLE RECALLS NOT PREVIOUSLY INVESTIGATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER STEERING ASSIST AND BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GOLDY AUTO LOCATED AT 187 KINETIC DR, HUNTINGTON, WV 25701, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE STEERING RACK WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V167000 (STEERING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

POWER STEERING HAS STARTED TO TURN HARD AT TIMES WHEN TURNING CORNERS. IT WILL TURN A LITTLE BIT FINE AND THEN BECOME EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN FOR ABOUT 6 INCHES ON THE STEERING WHEEL. IT WILL DO THIS 3 TIMES OR SO DEPENDING ON HOW SHARP YOU TRY TO TURN. IT HAPPEN A COUPLE TIMES LAST MONTH THEN WENT AWAY AND DROVE FINE. TODAY IT STARTED AGAIN. I WASN'T SURE I WAS GOING TO GET TURNED. IT HAS NOT GONE AWAY AS OF NOW. I JUST WENT OUT AND CHECKED. WE STATIONARY YOU CAN FEEL IT GRABBING A LITTLE. WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY IT CAN BE VERY TOUGH TO TURN. I HAVEN'T TRIED TO MAKE ANY SHARP TURNS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BUT AFTER EXITING THE INTERSTATE ON AN EXIT RAMP WITH A CURVE. AFTER TURNING THE WHEEL A FEW INCHES I CAN FEEL MORE TENSION THAN NORMAL. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A FAULTY ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ASSIST THAT I SEE THERE IS A RECALL ON BUT NOT ON MY TRUCK.

AFTER THE RECALL AND NEW UPDATE FOR FUEL MILEAGE RATING. THERE IS A DELAY IN THE THROTTLE/TURBO WHEN APPLYING THE GAS PEDAL. THIS HAPPEN WHEN YOU ARE BETWEEN 10MPH AND 15MPH AND ARE AT A SLOW ROLL AND APPLY THE GAS. THEN ALL THE SUDDEN THE TRUCK WILL TAKE OFF AND REV WAY UP.

8HP70 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION FAILED @68,000 MILES. TOWED 5800 LB TOYHAULER FROM ABILENE TX TO RENO NV. WAS TAKING A DAY TRIP TO LAKE TAHOE (RV PARKED IN SPARKS) WHEN THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN SKIPPING GEARS. RECEIVED A U0102 CANBUS ERROR. CLEARING THE ERROR ALLOWED THE TRANSMISSION TO CONTINUE OPERATING BUT ONLY FOR A FEW MILES. FINALLY DROPPED IT OFF AT LITHIA CHRYSLER ON SATURDAY. FACTORY WARRANTY EXPIRED ON SUNDAY (5TH JULY 20) SO FCA WILL NOT HONOR POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. USED MY EXTENDED WARRANTY TO COVER THE TRANSMISSION BUT HAD TO PAY $470 EXPEDITED SHIPPING FEW. SUPPOSED TO GET TRUCK BACK FRIDAY. SO WE ARE STRANDED IN RENO WITHOUT A TRUCK.

MY VEHICLE WITH UNDER 70K MILES RECENTLY PURCHASED FROM A USED DEALER HAD A SEVERE PROBLEM THE GAS GAUGE SHOWED EMPTY A FEW MINUTES AFTER SHOWING 1/2 TANK I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A GAS STATION AND WAS NOT STRANDED ON THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AS TO IMPEDE TRAFFIC AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. WHEN I REFUELED AT THE GAS STATION IT SHOWED IT WAS NOT COMPLETELY EMPTY AS I WAS LEAD TO BELIEVE BY THE CLUSTER. AND THROUGH SEVERAL DISCUSSIONS AND DIAGNOSING IT WAS BELIEVED TO BE A FAULTY PART IN THE FUEL SYSTEM THAT TENDS TO FALSELY SHOW EMPTY.

RECENTLY COMPLETE THE AEM EMISSIONS FLASH NOW MY TRUCK HAS A SERIOUSLY THROTTLE DELAY UP TO 7 SECONDS, I EITHER SLUGGISHLY PULL INTO TRAFFIC AND HOPE NOT TO GET T BONED OR GIVE MYSELF AND PASSENGERS WHIPLASH WHEN I HAVE TO DEPRESS THE THROTTLE IN ORDER TO MAKE THE TRUCK MOVE. THIS OCCURS EVERY MORNING AND AFTERNOON WHEN GOING TO AND LEAVING WORK. AND THROUGHOUT DAY WHEN RUNNING ERRANDS. MANUFACTURE STATES THIS COULD BE CAUSED BY THE EMISSIONS UPDATE THEY PERFORMED.

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE "DEATH WOBBLE" ANYTIME A BUMP IS HIT WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 40 MPH +, ON THE FREEWAY THE WOBBLE IS SO BAD THAT RECENTLY MY TRUCK BEGAN SWERVING ALL OVER THE ROAD AND ALMOST WENT OFF-ROAD, UNTIL I COULD REGAIN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. A BUMP ON A TURN IS MUCH WORSE. I AM SO FEARFUL OF THE UNSAFE SHAKING OF THE FRONT END WHILE DRIVING HIGHER SPEEDS THAT I NOW AVOID THE FREEWAYS AND TAKE ALTERNATE ROUTES IF POSSIBLE.

I CANNOT GET ASSISTANCE OR ALLOWED TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR OR THE CASE MANAGER. I AM JUST WANTING TO ENSURE THAT MY FILE IS COMPLETE. I ALSO WISH TO KNOW APPROXIMATELY WHEN I WILL RECEIVE MY CHECK.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MICHIANA CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT (120 W MCKINLEY AVE, MISHAWAKA, IN 46545; 866-984-0064) WHERE THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE EGR HOWEVER, THE INTAKE MANIFOLD WAS NOT INSPECTED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT AND INTAKE MANIFOLD FAILURE MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

ON 10/31/2019 , FCA ISSUED RECALL VB1/NHTSA 19V-757 , FOR A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZZARD ON 2014- 2019 RAM 1500 TRUCKS WITH THE ECODIESEL ENGINE. THEY DID NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM , AT THAT TIME. IN EARLY APRIL OF 2020, I RECIEVED ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE, STATING PARTS WERE NOW AVAILABLE , AND TO CALL MY DEALER , TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE RECALL COMPLETED. WHEN I CALLED , THE DEALER SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS, BUT WERE EXPECTING THEM TO BE SHIPPED SOON. THEY PUT ME ON A WAITING LIST, AND SAID THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN THE PARTS ARRIVED. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER EVERY MONTH SINCE THEN, AND THEY STILL TELL ME, THEY CAN'T GET THE UPDATED PARTS, TO DO THE RECALL ON MY TRUCK. I CALLED, TWO DIFFERENT FCA DEALERS ON 6/18/2020, AND I'M GETTING THE SAME RESPONSE FROM THEM, NO PARTS AVAILABLE. MY TRUCK IS NOW, FIVE YEARS OLD, AND HAS 53K MILES, TWO OF THESE LEAKING EGR COOLERS, HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. I NOW HAVE A CASE NUMBER WITH FCA, AND HAVE BEEN TOLD, MY DEALER WILL HAVE MY TRUCK REPAIRED SOMTIME IN EARLY JULY. THESE UPDATED PARTS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE AVAILIBLE TO FIX THE 2014 AND 2015 TRUCKS.THESE TRUCKS SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN OFF THE ROAD. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WAIT THIS LONG TO HAVE THIS DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE FIXED.

THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING DOES NOT WORK ON STARTUP WHEN THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE IS 65 DEGREES OR LOWER. THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND THE POWER STEERING DOESN'T WORK. SOMETIMES WHEN LEFT RUNNING TO WARM UP FIRST AND THEN TURNED OFF AND THEN BACK ON THE POWER STEERING WILL WORK. SOMETIMES, THE TRUCK NEEDS TO BE DRIVEN A FEW MILES TO FULLY WARM UP THEN STOPPED, TURNED OFF AND STARTED BACK UP, THEN THE POWER STEERING WILL WORK. THIS WASN'T MUCH OF A PROBLEM WHEN I AM IN FLORIDA WHERE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK, BUT I AM VISITING IN MICHIGAN NOW IN JUNE WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE STILL GETTING DOWN AS LOW AS THE FORTIES AT NIGHT. THE PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED ONE WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK. THE DEALERSHIP I HAVE TAKEN IT TO HERE IN MICHIGAN WANTS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE POWER STEERING UNIT FOR ALMOST $2900 WHICH I DON'T UNDERSTAND BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING WORKS FINE WHEN IT IS WARM ON STARTUP. SO FAR, THE POWER STEERING HASN'T GONE OUT WHILE DRIVING. *TR

UPON PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND ONTO A DIVIDED HIGHWAY ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC THE TRUCK MADE NOISES AND THE ENGINE DIED, LEAVING ME TO COAST BACK INTO THE NEXT PARKING LOT ENTRANCE WHILE HOLDING UP TRAFFIC. THE FAILURE TURNED OUT TO BE THE CRANK SHAFT POSITION TONE RING. THE DESIGN OF THIS TONE RING IS A STAMPED STEEL WHEEL WITH MAGNETIC MATERIAL ADHERED TO THE RIM, IT APPEARS THAT HEAT AND TIME CAUSED THE MAGNETIC MATERIAL TO CRACK AND FAIL. ONCE A PIECE OF MAGNETIC MATERIAL CAME OFF, THE MOTOR NO LONGER HAS A PROPER CRANK POSITION SIGNAL AND WILL STOP RUNNING. ANOTHER DESIGN CONSIDERATION IS THAT THE TONE RING IS INACCESSIBLE WITHOUT REMOVING THE TRANSMISSION AND FLEXPLATE, THIS RENDERS IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO CHECK THE CONDITION OF THE TONE RING TO AVOID A FAILURE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PARKING BRAKE CABLE WAS SAGGING, AND FAILED TO RELEASE THE PARKING BRAKE TO DISENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT. THE CONTACT MANUALLY PULLED THE PEDAL INSIDE THE VEHICLE FOR THE LIGHT TO DISENGAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FREEHOLD DODGE & RAM (299 SOUTH ST, FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP, NJ 07728), AND WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PARKING BRAKE CABLE WAS RUSTED AND CEASED IN PLACE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,400.

ON MAY 31, 2020 I WAS TRAVELING FROM BALTIMORE, MD TO SAN ANTONIO TEXAS ON IH 85 SOUTH NEAR LEXINGTON, NC IN THE MIDDLE LANE AT 60 MPH WHEN MY VEHICLE TOTALLY SHUT DOWN TO A STOP. TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY BUT I SAFELY PULLED OFF TO THE SHOULDER AND CALLED FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. WE WAITED 3 HOURS BEFORE WE GOT A CAPABLE TOW FOR THE TRUCK AND THE U-HAUL WE WERE TOWING. THE TOW COMPANY TOWED MY TRUCK TO M&L CHRYSLER DODGE RAM DEALERSHIP IN LEXINGTON NC. THE NEXT MORNING ABOUT 8:00 AM, I CALLED THE CHRYSLER DODGE RAM DEALERSHIP FOR THE RESULTS OF THEIR DIAGNOSTICS. AROUND 11:00AM I CALLED BACK TO CHRYSLER DODGE RAM DEALERSHIP. THEY INFORMED ME THEY THINK THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM AND THEY NEEDED TO ORDER THE PARTS AND IT WOULD TAKE A FEW DAYS AND THAT IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE EMISSIONS RECALL V08 WARRANTY. *TR

EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS ARE CONTINUOUSLY BREAKING OFF CREATING HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS. EXHAUST MANIFOLD GASES ARE LEAKING DIRECTLY INTO ENGINE BAY AROUND THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. UNFILTERED EXHAUST GASES ARE BYPASSING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS AND PASSING STRAIGHT TO THE ATMOSPHERE. CHRYSLER IS REFUSING TO ADDRESS THE SITUATION AND CHARGING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX IT EVERY TIME IT BREAKS. THE ISSUE ALSO THROWS THE VEHICLE COMPUTER INTO AN OPEN LOOP DUE TO FAULTY O2 READINGS NEGATIVELY IMPACTING FUEL AND PERFORMANCE CAUSING FURTHER POLLUTION AND EMISSIONS NEGATIVELY IMPACTING ENVIRONMENT AND HEALTH OF OCCUPANTS. AFTER CHARGING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO 'FIX' THE ISSUE THEY MERELY REPLACE BROKEN PARTS WITH THE EXACT TYPE AND MATERIAL THAT FAILED PREVIOUSLY. THE MANIFOLD/EXHAUST ISSUE IS INDEPENDENT OF ANY VEHICLE MOTION OR DRIVING CONDITION. RUNNING THE ENGINE IN ANY CONDITION WILL CAUSE THE FAILURE DUE TO DISSIMILAR METALS USED AND DIFFERENCE IN METALS MOVEMENT AS IT HEATS AND COOLS. PRESENTLY THIS IS THE 10TH BOLT BROKE OFF. IT HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY SINCE OWNING VEHICLE. *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL FROM FCA RECALL VB1. I CALLED THE DEALER ON MAY 15TH. THEY SAID TO BRING IT IN ON MONDAY MAY 18TH. I CALLED ON MONDAY AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD NO PARTS UNTIL JUNE 1ST. I CALLED ON JUNE 1ST TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AND HE TOLD ME THERE ARE NO PARTS UNTIL JUNE 12TH!. THIS RECALL IDENTIFIES THAT THE EGR COOLER CAN LEAK COOLANT INTO THE MOTOR THAT COULD CAUSE A VEHICLE FIRE. IN THE LAST 8 WEEKS I HAVE PUT IN 6 GALLONS OF COOLANT.THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE I HAVE TO COMMUTE TO WORK IN.I DO NOT NEED LIP SERVICE I NEED IT FIXED NOW! *TR

WHILE TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT THE STEERING WAS LOOSE IN SPOTS AND THEN TIGHT IN SPOTS. IT MADE TURNING AND PREDICTING AMOUNT OF FORCE REQUIRED TO TURN UNPREDICTABLE AND DANGEROUS AS YOU MAY NOT TURN QUICK ENOUGH GOING INTO A TURN OR OVERSTEER INTO A TURN. DEALER WAS TO FIX, BUT NEW RACK AND PINION AND STEERING BOX MADE IT WORSE. *TR

RANDOMLY LOSES POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT 66700 MILES. THE FUEL GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY. THE WARNING BOX POPPED UP AND SAID FUEL SENSOR FAILURE. IT WAS ABOUT 3/4 FULL WHEN IT HAPPENED. ALSO WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE ECONOMIZER STOPPED WORKING. BASE ON A INTERNET SEARCH THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL MADE ON THE VEHICLES! THE FACT THAT YOU LOSE YOUR ECONOMIZER CAUSING INCREASED FUEL CONSUMPTION AND THERE BY WASTING GAS SHOULD SEND A WARNING FOR THIS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. THANK YOU FOR TIME. *TR

VERY HEAVY STEERING OCCURRING INTERMITTENTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ACTS AS IF ELETRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST IS FAILING. ALSO OCCURS AT LOWER SPEEDS. *TR

THE EGR HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE FOR AWHILE NOW. THE TRUCK ISN'T THE SAME AS WHEN I BOUGHT AND I FEEL I PURCHASED A LEMON. IT DOESN'T NOT MEET MY EXPECTATIONS AND I FEEL I HAVE LOST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. *TR

FAULTY AIR SUSPENSION, THIS IS A VERY, VERY COMMON ISSUE IN RAM TRUCKS. DRIVER FRONT WENT DOWN, THEN BACK END. THE LIGHT CAME ON TO FIX AIR SUSPENSION. ITS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH SUSPENSION DOWN. THE FACT THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF TRUCKS OUT THERE WITH THIS ISSUE AND NO RECALL IS REALLY UNCALLED FOR. THEY CONTINUE TO FAIL SEVERAL TIMES OVER AND OVER AGAIN. IF THERE'S NO RECALL I WOULD HAVE TO IMAGINE THERE WILL BE A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT. EVERY MECHANIC I'VE TALKED TO IS IN DISBELIEF THAT THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. *TR

WHEN FIRST START UP STEERING VERY HARD TO TURN AND WHEEL NOT RETURNING TO CENTER LIKE ITS SUPPOSED TO / ALSO FEELS LUMPY SOMETIMES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V757000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. DWAYNE LANE'S CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (10515 EVERGREEN WAY, EVERETT, WA 98204) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE ENGINE LIGHT COME ON THEN THE WARNING COME UP FUEL SENSOR FAIL THE GAS GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY.FIRST STARTED DOING IF GOING UP A HILL ABOUT A MONTH AGO. NOW IT WILL GO OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL AND COME BACK ON WHEN I HAVE A HALF A TANK. IT HAS 72000 MILE ON THE TRUCK.. I SEE ALOT OF PEPOLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND WONDERING WHY DODGE IS NOW DOING A RECALL ON IT?

NHTSA 19V-757 WAS ISSUED FOR THE REFERENCED VIN 24OCT19. I HAD AN EGR COOLER FAILURE ON 27AUG19 THE EGR COOLER WAS REPLACED BY GRAPEVINE DODGE, CHRYSLER, JEEP RAM WITH THE ATTACHED PART NUMBER BEFORE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED, AND WAS THE ONLY PART AVAILABLE AT THE TIME. I RECIEVED NOTICE OF THE RECALL 24OCT19 AND LEARNED THE REDESIGNED PART WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL APRIL 2020. AS OF THIS WEEK, FCA INDICATES THIS RECALL AS BEING COMPLETED ON MY VEHICLE. THE NEW REDESIGNED EGR COOLER HAS NEVER BEEN INSTALLED ON MY TRUCK. AFTER POSTING THIS TO A RAM ECODIESEL FORUM, I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER RAM ECODIESEL OWNERS THAT HAVE BEEN ISSUED THE RECALL, AND NOW HAVE BEEN MARKED COMPLETE WITHOUT THE RECALL BEING PERFORMED. THE DEFECT RELATED TO THIS RECALL RESULTED IN VEHICLE FIRES IN MANY INSTANCES, AND COULD POSE A THREAT OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I APPEARS TO ME THAT FCA IS TRYING TO GET OUT OF PERFORMING THIS SAFETY RELATED RECALL. *TR

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MODULE CORROSION CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING ABILITY WHILE DRIVING SAME ISSUE AS WAS REPORTED ON MULTIPLE VINS FOR MY YEAR BUT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED JUST HAD REPAIRED AT A COST OF $2000. *TR

2015 RAM 1500 5.7 HEMI EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAK AND BROKEN BOLTS. IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT THE PROBLEMS WITH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS LEAKING AND POTENTIAL BROKEN EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS. CAN THIS BE INVESTIGATED SINCE IT IS SUCH A COMMONLY KNOW PROBLEM? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V757000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

PER THE ECODIESEL SETTLEMENT I HAD THE UPGRADES DONE ON MY TRUCK. AFTER THE UPGRADE THERE WAS NOTICEABLE LOSS OF POWER AND THROTTLE RESPONSE. THERE WERE MANY OCCASIONS WHERE THE TRUCK WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO LOSS OF POWER WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC FROM A STOP OR WHEN ACCELERATING TO MERGE ONTO A HIGHWAY. I HAD TO TRADE IN THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE FACT THAT A SAFE VEHICLE IS REQUIRED FOR MY JOB. I MENTIONED TO MY LOCAL RAM DEALER WHERE I HAD THE AEM UPGRADE DONE AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT, THAT MANY RAM OWNERS WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE POWER LOSS AND THROTTLE RESPONSE. EVEN THOUGH I TRADED IN THE TRUCK, THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. HAD THIS BEEN HOW THE VEHICLE PERFORMED FROM DAY, I NEVER WOULD'VE PURCHASED IT. I FEEL THAT FCA WAS NEVER HONEST AND UPFRONT WITH VEHICLE OWNERS OF THE ECODIESEL ENGINES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THE WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING TURNS AT LOW SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS HARD TO TURN. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BLUEBONNET CHRYSLER LOCATED AT (547 S SEGUIN AVE, NEW BRAUNFELS, TX 78130 830) 606-3463) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,500.

IN MAY 2019, RAM RELEASED THE V08 RECALL AS PART OF AN AEM DUE TO EMISSIONS COMPLAINTS. AFTER HAVING THIS RECALL DONE, MY DRIVEABILITY AND ACCELERATION HAS BECOME UNSAFE. TRYING TO TURN ONTO A FEEDER ROAD OR MERGE INTO TRAFFIC IS BASICALLY DANGEROUS. OFTEN, IT SEEMS TO HAVE A "DEAD PEDAL." I CAN PUSH THE GAS PEDAL AND OFTEN ABLE TO COUNT TO 3 BEFORE THE TRUCK ACTUALLY BEGINS TO MOVE SMOOTHLY.

POST V08 RECALL UPDATE THE TRUCK EXPERIENCES TREMENDOUS POWER LAG FROM A STOP CAUSING AN UNSAFE CONDITION.THIS CAUSES A ISSUE MERGING WITH TRAFFIC SAFELY. NOT TO MENTION FUEL ECONOMY DROPPED 2-3 MPG.AND PEAK POWER WAS ALSO REDUCED.

MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER VB1 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 19V-757 RECALL STATUS RECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE IF THE MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY RECALL FOR YOUR VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER, PLEASE CONTACT THE NHTSA VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT: 1-888-327-4236 OR TTY: 1-800-424-9153 OR FILE AN ONLINE COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. SO PER NHTSA RECOMMENDATIONS, SHOWN ABOVE, WE ARE FILING AN ONLINE COMPLAINT SINCE THE MANUFACTURE (AGAIN PER ABOVE) DOES NOT HAVE A REMEDY. THE EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) COOLER ON YOUR TRUCK [1] MAY BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THERMAL FATIGUE. THERMAL FATIGUE MAY CAUSE THE COOLER TO CRACK INTERNALLY OVER TIME. AN EGR COOLER WITH AN INTERNAL CRACK WILL INTRODUCE PRE-HEATED, VAPORIZED COOLANT TO THE EGR SYSTEM WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, THIS MIXTURE INTERACTS WITH OTHER HYDROCARBONS AND AIR IN THE SYSTEM, POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN COMBUSTION WITHIN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD, WHICH MAY LEAD TO A VEHICLE FIRE. A VEHICLE FIRE MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY TO OCCUPANTS AND PERSONS OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE, AS WELL AS PROPERTY DAMAGE.

IF I PUT ANY ITEM UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT IT CAUSES THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT TO COME ON EVEN A PIECE OF PAPER, IF IT TOUCHES THE WIRES IT COME ON. THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKIND IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN.

WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREET WHEN TRUCK SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING QUIT WORKING. NO STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. LUCKILY TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT, CARS FOLLOWING WERE ABLE TO AVOID THE TRUCK. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPEN ON INTERSTATE RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. THIS ENGINE, HAS HAD SEVERAL ISSUES. DEALER SAYS ENGINE NEEDS REPLACED.

RELUCTOR WHEEL FAILURE CAUSING IMMEDIATE ENGINE SHUTDOWN TRAVELING AT ABOUT 65 MPH NORTH ON I-10 ABOUT 5 MILES SOUTH OF KERRVILLE, TX. SHOP EXPECTS REPAIR TO COST AROUND $2300. SHOP WAS TOLD THAT THERE ARE 500 OF THESE PARTS ON BACKORDER. IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON FAILURE IN THESE ENGINES AND BECAUSE THE PART IS LOCATED AR THE REAR OF THE CRANKSHAFT THE TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REMOVED TO ACCESS THE PART. THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR ALSO HAS TO BE REPLACED. THE LABOR WILL BE 8 HOURS. TRUCK IS STILL IN SHOP WAITING FOR PARTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL CEASED WHILE TURNING TO THE RIGHT. IN ADDITION, THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V167000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,419.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT THEN RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER :20V036000 (POWER TRAIN) AND 19V818000 (EQUIPMENT, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE RECALL REPAIRS WERE NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO RUSSELL WESTBROOK CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF VAN NUYS LOCATED AT (6110 VAN NUYS BLVD, VAN NUYS, CA 91401) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT HAS A BROKEN SEAL AND HAS FILLED WITH CONDENSATION. HEADLIGHT HAS REDUCED PERFORMANCE AND DOES NOT OFFER THE PROPER LEVEL OF LIGHTING FOR NIGHT DRIVING. I HAVE SEEN A DOZEN OF THESE DODGE RAMS WITH THE SAME CONDITION. THE DEALER SAID THEY HAVE NO DIRECTION FROM DODGE TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE.

WENT TO GET FUEL BECAUSE MY GUAGE SHOWED IT WAS LOW. ATTENDANT TRIED TO FILL IT AND SAID IT WAS FULL. HE TRIED AGAIN AND FUEL JUST CAME OUT. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW FUEL TANK, PRESSURE SENSOR AND FILLER NECK ASSEMBLY AT $3300. MY TRUCK HAD 66,000 MILES AND I BOUGHT IT 3 MONTHS AGO USED.

MY 2015 DODGE RAM ECO DIESEL CAUGHT FIRE, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. ITS A TOTAL LOSS. I DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE BUT AFTER RESEARCH FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL. CHRYSLER TOLD US IT WAS NOT THEIR FAULT. THIS TRUCK WAS TAKEN CARE OF LIKE A CHILD, THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE FIRE.

THE VEHICLE IS AT APPROX 58,000 MILES AND THE WELL DOCUMENTED FUEL SENSOR FAILURE HAS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. THIS HAPPENED SHORTLY AFTER FILLING THE TANK TO FULL AND A DRIVE OF ABOUT 60 MILES. IN ADDITION TO THE FUEL SENSOR FAILURE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED, WHICH DISABLES ECO MODE. THE DEALER WANTS $1000 TO FIX IT. NOT ACCEPTABLE.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD,I WAS GOING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. AS I TURN THE WHEEL IT FELT LIKE IT HIT A WALL AND I COULDN'T TURN ANYMORE. I HAVE TAKIN IT TO MULTIPLE SHOPS TO HAVE IT SCANNED AND LOOKED AT BECAUSE THERE IS NO CODE BEING THROWN ON THE DASH. BUT BOTH PLACES SAY THE SAME THING IT IS OUT. ELECTRIC STEERING MODULE IS WHAT ITS CALL I DO BELIVE. IT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND I NEED IT TO GET TO WORK AND KIDS TO SCHOOL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING ASSIST AND BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE STEERING MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. AIRPORT DODGE RAM (2605 NW PRAIRIE VIEW RD, PLATTE CITY, MO) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,500.

ELECTRIC STEERING MODULE HAS FAILED. EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER. STEERING WHEEL MUST BE MANUALLY TURNED BACK AFTER MAKING A TURN. VERY DANGEROUS. RECALL NOTICE S19 SHOULD BE COVERING THIS ISSUE ACCORDING TO DEALER.

DRIVING MY 2015 RAM NOTICED HARD TO STEER AT TIMES! THEN ALL AT ONCE CAN'T STEER WITHOUT MUCH ADDED MUSCLE! FEELS LIKE STEERING GETS STUCK AND HAVE TO FORCE IT BACK STRAIGHT AND OR IN DIRECTION YOU WANT TO GO! CHECKED FOR THE RECALL THAT IS OUT FOR RAMS AND MINE IS NOT ONE OF THEM! NEED IT FIXED ASAP AND SEEING ALL THAT ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT THAT ARE NOT UNDER THE RECALL IS DISTURBING! PAY A LOT FOR THESE TRUCKS AND ALL THAT ARE HAVING TROUBLE IT ISN'T A FLUKE! MANUFACTURERS SHOULD STEP UP!

I AM HAVING AN ISSUE WHERE MY ELECTRIC RACK AND PINION IS GIVING OUT. THIS CREATES A LACK OF POWER STEERING FOR MY VEHICLE. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE LISTED IN RECALL VB9 BUT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL FOR SOME REASON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 68 MPH, THE VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL BECAME INOPERABLE AND HARD TO TURN WHILE THE (GRILL SHUDDER SYSTEM) WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

SINCE DECEMBER OF 2018 MY 2015 RAM 1500 LARAMIE LONGHORN HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP A TOTAL OF 5 TIMES DUE TO THE AIR SUSPENSION FAILING. THEY'VE REPLACED THE COMPRESSOR ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, REPLACED BOTH FRONT AIR BAGS, REPLACED FUSES, COMPRESSOR LINES ETC. MOST RECENTLY I PICKED UP MY TRUCK AFTER IT WAS INT HE SHOP FOR 2 WEEKS, 2 DAYS LATER THE SUSPENSION FAILED AGAIN. I'VE BEEN TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70+ MPH WHEN THE SUSPENSION SUDDENLY DROPS TO ITS LOWEST SETTING AND BEGINS BOUNCING UNCONTROLLABLY DOWN THE ROAD. I'VE GOTTEN MESSAGES TO SERVICE AIR SUSPENSION IMMEDIATELY AFTER SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I'VE LOST A TOTAL OF OVER 30 DAYS OF VEHICLE USE WHICH SERIOUSLY IMPEDES MY ABILITY TO RUN MY BUSINESS AS I DEPEND ON MY VEHICLE FOR HAULING MATERIALS ETC. THESE FAILURES HAVE AMOUNTED TO THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN REPAIRS. FORTUNATELY FOR ME I HAVE THE LIFETIME WARRANTY ON MY VEHICLE. WHILE THIS HAS SAVED ME CONSIDERABLE AMOUNTS OF MONEY, I'VE STILL PAID OVER $1000 IN DEDUCTIBLES ONLY TO HAVE THE SYSTEM FAIL AGAIN. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP IN DECEMBER OF 2016, MARCH 2019, APRIL 2019, MAY 2019, NOVEMBER OF 2019 AND JANUARY OF 2020, ALL FOR THE AIR SUSPENSION. THE VEHICLE WILL DROP TO ITS LOWEST SETTING AND FAIL TO RAISE AFTER BEING PARKED, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, OVERNIGHT ETC. WHETHER DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR ON LOCAL SURFACE STREETS THE SUSPENSION SUDDENLY FAILS. THERE'S NO RHYME OR REASON TO WHY OR WHEN IT OCCURS. IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND QUITE A DISAPPOINTMENT AFTER SPENDING NEARLY $70,000 ON A VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE HAS A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. I'VE SEEN NUMEROUS TRUCKS WITH THE SAME ISSUES AT THE DEALERSHIP WHILE MINE HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIRS.

ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE DUE TO EGR SYSTEM OVERHEATING (MAYBE BURNING INTERNALLY) MELTING THEN SPONTANEOUSLY CATCHING FOAM RUBBER PAD ABOVE THE EGR DIFFUSER TUBE ON FIRE. RESULTED IN MELTING WIRES, HOSE AND OTHER PARTS ATTACHED TO ENGINE. WAS QUICKLY PUT OUT WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER. WAS DRIVING TO MENARDS IN NORMAL ILLINOIS AND SMELLED SMOKE AT FIRST STOP LIGHT, THOUGHT IT WAS VAN NEXT TO ME. AT NEXT STOP LIGHT SMELLED THE SMOKE AGAIN AND PULLED INTO MENARDS PARKING LOT. SAW LOTS OF SMOKE COMING OUT FROM UNDER HOOD. RAISED HOOD LOOKING FOR WHERE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM. SAW A SMALL FLAME, WENT TO BACK OF TRUCK AND TOOK OUT FIRE EXTINGUISHER. WENT TO FRONT OF TRUCK AND FLAME HAD TURNED TO FLAMES, EXTINGUISHED FIRE.

AIR SUSPENSION IS FAILING AND NOT INFLATING

THIS FIRE START ON AIR INTAKE, I LOST THE TRUCK. WAS DRIVING FINE AND START BLUE SMOKE COME OF HOOD... THIS TRUCK GOT A RECALL OPEN, THIS RECALL IS ABOUT FIRE ON AIR INTAKE. I CALL DODGE TO DO THEY NEVER HAVE THE PART... THE END OF HISTORY I LOST MY TRUCK.

POWER STEERING WORKED YESTERDAY. THIS MORNING IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH IS ON.

TRUCK CAUGHT FIRE WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. NO WARNING SIGNS ON DASH. STARTED TO SLOW DOWN THEN SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM FRONT OF HOOD AS IF OVERHEATING. I PULLED OVER TO EMERGENCY LANE, TURNED CAR OFF , THEN POPPING SOUND CAUSING TRUCK TO GO INTO FLAMES AND POPPING WITH BIG EXPLOSION AND BURNING RAPIDLY. I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT BECAUSE I HAD DOOR ALREADY CRACKED OPEN AND RAN AWAY FROM VEHICLE.

MY STEERING ON THIS RAM 1500 HAS BEEN NOTICEABLY STIFF LATELY WHEN TURNING. I LOOKED FOR COMMON COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER RAM OWNERS AND FOUND A RECALL (S19) FOR RAMS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN JAN AND SEPT OF 2015 - MY RAM WAS MANUFACTURED IN APRIL 2015. I FEEL THAT THIS RAM SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL

I AM EXPERIENCED A REDUCTION IN FUEL ECONOMY BY ABOUT 20% SINCE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS ALSO CAUSED OTHER FEATURES OF MY VEHICLE TO LONGER BECOME OPERABLE (REMOTE STARTED WILL NOT WORK WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT).

VECHILE HAD DRIVER SIDE IMPACT AND THE SIDE AIR BAGS DID NOT GO OFF.*DT*JB

POWER STEERING IS INTERMITTENT WHEN TURNING ON A CITY STREET AND ON HIGHWAY. HARD TO MAINTAIN CONTROL ON CURVES

THERE IS A CONSIDERABLE DIFFERENCE IN THROTTLE RESPONSE CURRENTLY UPON INITIALLY STARTING VEHICLE. IT MAKES IT QUITE DIFFICULT FOR THE TRUCK TO ACCELERATE AS INTENDED SHORTLY AFTER STARTING. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL INCIDENTS ALREADY IN WHICH I HAVE HAD TO STOMP ON THE ACCELERATOR TO AVOID A COLLISION AS I WAS NOT EXPECTING THE TRUCK TO CRAWL ALONG VERSUS IT'S STANDARD ACCELERATION.

2015 RAM 1500 WITH 69,000 MILES ON IT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN TRUCK GETS TO A HALF TANK OF GAS HAD THE CODE CHECKED P0463 FUEL SENSOR LEVEL. NOW I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK BECAUSE CANT TRUST THE FUEL GAUGE WHILE TRAVELING ALSO TRUCK WONT START WITH REMOTE START WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. FROM DOING SOME RESEARCH THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM . ITS SAD THAT YOU PAY SO MUCH MONEY FOR A TRUCK AND HAVE TO DEAL WITH SITUATIONS LIKE THIS.

I AM LOOKING FOR LEGAL COUNSEL TO HELP ME GET OUT OF THIS VEHICLE BEFORE SOMEONE I CARE ABOUT IS INJURED OR KILLED DUE TO THE LOSS OF PERFORMANCE AND ERRATIC THROTTLE CONTROL. ISSUE #3 LOSS OF POWER WHEN CROSSING INTERSECTION FROM A ROLLING START. ENGINE FAULT LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE LEAVING ME STRANDED IN THE ROAD WITH FOUR LANES OF ONCOMING HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC. ISSUE #4 TAILGATE OPENED WITH A LOAD OF LUMBER IN THE BED CAUSING LOSS OF LOAD. THE TAILGATE HAD TO BE REPLACED AT MY OWN EXPENSE.

AFTER HAVING THE REQUIRED FCA EMISSION UPDATE, THE TRUCK WILL HESITATE WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC OR ATTEMPTING TO CLIMB A HILL UNTIL FULLY WARMED UP. PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR DOES NOTHING FOR SEVERAL SECONDS, THEN THE TRUCK ACCELERATES DRAMATICALLY. THIS NOTHING/EVERYTHING, IS DANGEROUS TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS OF THE TRUCK AS THEY MAY BE STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF. THE TRUCK IS DANGEROUS TO OTHER HIGHWAY USERS AS THE NOTHING/EVERYTHING THROTTLE MAY CAUSE A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. THIS IS A DRASTIC CHANGE IN THE DRIVING CHARACTERISTICS OF THIS TRUCK FROM THE PRIOR TO FLASH SETTINGS. APPARENTLY DEALERS CAN NOT RETURN THE VEHICLE TO IT'S PREVIOUS SETTINGS, MAKING THEM LIABLE FOR THE SAFETY OF THE TRUCKS DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. THE EPA LAWSUIT AGAINST FCA HAS PUT NUMEROUS HIGHWAY USERS AR RISK!

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE ON 12/4/19 FROM FCA US. IT STATES THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE EGR COOLER WHICH MAY RESULT IN A FIRE AND RISK OF INJURY/PROPERTY DAMAGE. PER FCS RECALL "THE REMEDY FOR THIS CONDITION IS NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE" I DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OR DO I WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE THAT THIS FIRE COULD HAPPEN TO ME AND MY FAMILY AS I OPERATE THIS VEHICLE. THE RISK IS TO GREAT. FCA SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE ME WITH A NO CHARGE COMPARABLE VEHICLE UNTIL THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND REPAIR COMPLETE. AGAIN, I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE AROUND IN A POTENTIAL FIRE BOMB. KNOWINGLY DRIVING THIS VEHICLE COULD INJURY/KILL ME, FAMILY, AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD.. I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE UNTIL FIXED AS I HAVE NO OTHER TRUCK OPTION. PLEASE DO SOMETHING. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THESE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD AND FIRES ARE OCCURRING RELATED TO THIS DEFECT. FCA IS TO BIG FOR ME TO GO AFTER AS AN INDIVIDUAL AND THAT IS WHY I'M REACHING OUT TO NHTSA FOR HELP. THANK YOU.

I LIVE IN MINNESOTA SO OBVIOUSLY ITS A COLD CLIMATE. MY DODGE REBEL CONTINUALLY FREEZES IN THE DOWNWARD POSITION MAKING DRIVING IT VERY DIFFICULT AND A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. SOMETIMES THE ISSUE HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING. IS THERE A RECALL? THERE DEFINITELY SHOULD BE.

FROM A COMPLETE STOP, DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL RESULTS IN MINIMAL ACCELERATION RESULTING IN NUMEROUS NEAR MISSES WHEN CROSSING OR MERGING WITH TRAFFIC. THIS "DEAD PEDAL" CONDITION LASTS FOR SEVERAL SECONDS (3-6) BEFORE THEN SURGING MORE THAN ANTICIPATED, OFTEN RESULTING IN A BRIEF LOSS OF TRACTION. THIS CONDITION OCCURS REPEATEDLY UNTIL THE ENGINE HAS REACHED NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURES (COOLANT >193 F).

AT 55,000 MILES, STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS STOPPED WORKING. ISSUE APPEARS TO BE A WORN OR FAULTY CLOCK SPRING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE FUEL GAUGE DROPPED TO 0 AND THE FUEL SENSOR FAILURE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DESERT 215 SUPERSTORE (LOCATED AT 8030 RAFAEL RIVERA WAY, LAS VEGAS, NV 89113, (702) 963-8000), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED.

MY VEHICLE IS A RAM ECODIESEL. FCA WAS CAUGHT INSTALLING SOFTWARE TO FRAUDULENTLY REPORT EMISSIONS DATA AND WAS ORDERED BY THE EPA TO INSTALL NEW SOFTWARE TO BRING EMISSIONS INTO COMPLIANCE. I GOT THIS SO-CALLED "REPAIR" IN AUGUST IN SO DOING, MY VEHICLE (AND MANY OTHERS) DEVELOPED AN ACCELERATION LAG THAT IS QUITE DANGEROUS -- PARTICULARLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS JUST STARTED. YOU BEGIN TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC AND THEN THE VEHICLE JUST STOPS FOR SEVERAL SECONDS BEFORE ACCELERATION. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO FCA. FCA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT HAS NO FIX AT THIS TIME. I HAVE ASKED FOR LOANER UNTIL THEY HAVE A FIX AND THIS HAS BEEN DENIED. I HAVE ASKED FOR A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE BUT THEY SAY THIS VEHICLE IS OPERATING "AS DESIGNED." I AM CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH ARBITRATION AND WILL FILE A LAWSUIT IF UNSUCCESSFUL. IT IS CLEAR THAT FCA DOESN'T REALLY CARE ABOUT CUSTOMER SAFETY AND WON'T DO THE RIGHT THING UNLESS COMPELLED TO DO SO. I CAN PROVIDE COPIES OF THE BULLETIN SAYING THERE IS NO FIX, EMAILS I HAVE SENT TO FCA, REPAIR NOTES FROM THE DEALERSHIP SAYING THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM BUT THERE IS NO FIX OR ANYTHING ELSE NEEDED, THOUGH I SUSPECT OTHERS HAVE ALREADY SUPPLIED THIS SO IT WOLD E REDUNDANT. IF YOU WANT IT, PLEASE ADVISE. BOTTOM LINE IS THAT I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE.

THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN IMPOUND FACILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

FUEL SENSOR/PUMP MODULE FAILURE. TRUCK WOULD READ LOW OR EMPTY FUEL EVEN WHEN THE TANK WAS FILLED UP. THE ISSUE OCCURS WHEN IT IS RUNNING OR STATIONARY.

FOLLOWING RECIEVING THE ECU UPDATE FOR THE AEM RECALL DUE TO EMISSIONS ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE LAGS CONSIDERABLY WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. SO FAR THE MANUFACTURER IS SAYING THAT IT HAS TO DO WITH A COLD VEHICLE, HOWEVER, I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS UP TO OPERATING TEMPERATURES WHILE UNLOAD AND WHILE TOWING. THIS LAG WHEN TOWING HAS CAUSED MY TRUCK AND TRAILER COMBINATION TO START TO GO BACKWARDS DOWN A HILL THAT MY HOUSE RESIDES ON. AFTER THE TRUCK LAGS WHEN THE POWER KICKS IN IT DOES NOT EASE IN ON THE POWER IT JUST JUMPS STRAIGHT IN NEARLY CAUSING THE TIRES TO SPIN. SO FAR THE ONLY WAY AROUND THIS THAT I HAVE FOUND IS TO MANUALLY CONTROL THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS WHEN STARTING OUT SLOW ON HILLS. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE PLEASE SEE HTTPS://WWW.TFLTRUCK.COM/2019/08/RAM-1500-ECODIESEL-UPDATE-EMAIL/ FOR MORE INFORMATION.

LEFT SIDE CONTROLS ON STEERING WHEEL HAVE QUITE WORKING. SUSPECT CLOCK SPRING ISSUE. NOT ABLE TO SWAP FROM SCREEN TO SCREEN OR CONTROL MOBILE PHONE WITHOUT HAVE TO TAKE EYES OFF THE ROAD.

THIS VEHICLE WAS RECALLED UNDER THE ECODIESEL SETTLEMENT AND RECEIVED AN APPROVED EMISSIONS MODIFICATION. THIS UPDATE REPROGRAMMED THE VEHICLE COMPUTER TO IMPROVE THE EMISSIONS SYSTEMS. THIS MODIFICATION HAS CREATED A DRIVE-ABILITY ISSUE WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO FAIL TO ACCELERATE WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE GOES UP A STEEP HILL AND WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS PRESSED THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE, EVEN WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FLOORED. THEN THE ENGINE KICKS IN AND SPINS THE REAR WHEELS ON A GRAVEL ROAD. I LIVE IN WASHINGTON STATE AND IT IS SNOW COUNTRY. GOING UP A SNOW COVERED STEEP HILL IS GOING TO BE AN ISSUE. I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IF IT DID NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY. THIS ISSUE WAS CAUSED BY THE APPROVED EMISSIONS MODIFICATION THAT HAS CREATED AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION.

AFTER EMISSIONS MODIFICATION, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES BACK REGULARLY WITH A CODE P026C, WHICH HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH FUEL PRESSURE NOT BEING CORRECT. DEALER IS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE.

THIS PERTAINS TO MY 2015 DODGE RAM WITH THE 3.0 LITER ECODIESEL ENGINE. EVER SINCE I GOT THE REQUIRED EMISSIONS CONTROL ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE UPDATE FROM FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES (FCA), MY TRUCK'S ENGINE PERFORMANCE HAS BEEN AFFECTED TO THE EXTENT THAT I CANNOT DEPEND ON IT'S EXCELLERATION. I PRESS ON THE GAS PEDDLE, AND THE ENGINE HESITATES SEVERELY BEFORE IT ACCELERATES. FROM A STOP SIGN OR A RED LIGHT, THE HESITATION IS SUCH THAT I WON'T TRY TO CROSS THE INTERSECTION IF THERE ARE ANY CARS EITHER TO MY RIGHT OR LEFT. SIMILARLY, THE HESITATION AND ACCELERATION LAG MAKES MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY A SAFETY CONCERN. THE TRUCKS FUEL ECONOMY HAS ALSO BEEN NEGATIVELY AFFECTED. I URGE THE NHTSA TO COMPEL CFA TO REVERSE THE SOFTWARE UPDATE, OR FIX IT SUCH THAT THE TRUCK IS NO LONGER A DRIVING SAFETY CONCERN.

WHEN COMING TO A STOP, A STRONG SMELL OF DIESEL AND DEF OR ANTI FREEZE COMES INTO CAB. WINDOWS ARE UP, IT COMES THRU THE VENTS.

AFTER COMPLETING THE EMISSIONS RECALL ON THE ECO DIESEL A SIGNIFICANT LAG IN ACCELERATION HAS OCCURRED. THIS LAG IMPACTS ABILITY TO KEEP WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC WHEN MERGING ETC. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT IS UNPREDICTABLE AND DRIVER CANNOT DETERMINE ACCELERATION BY SIMPLY PRESSING THE PEDAL DOWN - SOMETIMES WITH A 5-10 SECOND DELAY IN RESPONSE TO ACCELERATE. THIS CAN OCCUR FROM A STOP, AND MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY, FROM A STOP LIGHT AND MAKING A UTURN IN THE AUTHORIZED AREAS, WHEN MERGING ONTO A FREEWAY RAMP.

SEAT BELT WON'T LATCH. LATCH BUTTON WILL STAY IN OPEN POSITION.

2015 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL. CONSUMER WRITES WITH CONCERN TO DELAY IN ACCELERATION. *AS THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND KNEW OF THE DEFECT. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE, BUT THE CONSUMER DISAGREED. *JS

EXTREME LAG DURING ACCELERATION HAS ALMOST RESULTED IN MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS. WORK COMMUTE HAS ME TURNING LEFT ONTO BUSY ROAD WITH LIMITED VISIBILITY DUE TO BLIND CORNER AND I'VE ALMOST BEEN T-BONED/REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF THE LAG BETWEEN GIVING THE TRUCK GAS AND ACTUAL ACCELERATION. THIS IS BECOMING MORE PREVALENT AS TEMPERATURES DROP. THIS MORNING I SPUN OUT TRYING TO AVOID BEING REAR ENDED WHILE PULLING OUT BECAUSE THE THROTTLE GOES FROM LAG TO FULL THROTTLE WITH NO GRADUAL ACCELERATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A SOFTWARE PATCH UPDATE REQUIRED FOR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HEALEY CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP, RAM (557 NY-52, BEACON, NY 12508, (845) 831-1148) FOR THE UPDATE TO BE PERFORMED. AFTER THE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT TOOK 10-15 SECONDS BEFORE THE VEHICLE WOULD MOVE FORWARD. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 70 MPH. THE CONTACT INFORMED THE DEALER OF THE VEHICLE'S LACK OF PERFORMANCE. THE DEALER STATED THAT DUE TO THE SYSTEM UPDATE, THE VEHICLE WOULD TAKE TIME TO BECOME ACCUSTOMED TO THE UPDATE AND THAT, OVER TIME, THE VEHICLE WOULD RESUME NORMAL DRIVING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE CONTINUED WHILE DRIVING HOME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THEY WERE STILL AWAITING ANOTHER SOFTWARE UPDATE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

I AM WRITING THIS FOR MY ELDERLY FATHER. HE HAS A 2015 RAM 1500 DIESEL PICK UP TRUCK THAT FALLS UNDER THE ECO DIESEL SETTLEMENT (CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT). MY DAD HAD THE APPROVED EMISSIONS MODIFICATION (AEM) THAT WAS REQUIRED TO UPDATE THE EMISSIONS CONTROL SOFTWARE ON MAY 28, 2019. AFTER THE AEM COMPLETED BY THE DEALER, THE TRUCK HAD THROTTLE ISSUES. WHEN MY DAD PUSHED THE PEDAL TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY LAG TO THE POINT OF NOT ACCELERATING. THIS IS A **CONTINUOUS** AND DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT WAS CAUSED BY THE FACTORY SUPPLIED SOFTWARE UPDATE. MY DAD MADE A COMPLAINT TO THE DEALER THREE HOURS AFTER THE AEM WAS UPDATED ON 5/28/19. HE ALSO COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER ON JUNE 6, 7, 8 2019 AND ON MANY OTHER OCCASIONS. THEY TELL HIM IT COULD TAKE 6 MONTHS TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION. THE FACTORY "FIX" HAS NOW CREATED A DANGEROUS CONDITION. THE DEALER EITHER CAN'T OR WON'T FIX IT. MANY PEOPLE HAVE APPARENTLY COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER TO WHERE THE DEALER IS NOW ADVISING VEHICLE OWNERS TO NOT INSTALL THE FACTORY AEM "FIX". THE DEALER TELLS MY DAD THAT FACTORY/CORPORATE IS WORKING ON A FIX.

' THE TRUCK WAS RETURNED 9/20/2019 WITH THE DIPSTICK SITTING OUT UNDER THE HOOD, THE ENGINE COVER NOT ON, WITH A SCRATCH ON THE LEFT FENDER, SCRATCHES ON EACH SIDE OF THE BUMPER, WRONG TIRES AND RIMS, MY RIGHT FRONT LIGHT AND BLINKER ARE NOT WORKING, AND MY TRUCK HAS GREASY HAND PRINTS ALL OVER IT. TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM, I WOULD LIKE YOU TO REFUND THE $306.04 FOR THE COOLANT FLUSH(DONE), REPAIR THE SCRATCHES ON THE BUMPER AND FENDER,FIX THE HEADLIGHT AND RETURN MY ORIGINAL TIRES AND RIMS. WHEN I FIRST LEARNED OF THIS PROBLEM, I CONTACTED CHRIS DOOLEY AT BOERNE DODGE 9/21/2019, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD REFUND $306.04, REPAIR THE SCRATCHES AND HEADLIGHT(BOERNE SAYS THESE ARE COMPLETE). I BELIEVE THAT THIS RESPONSE IS UNFAIR BECAUSE I NEED MY CORRECT TIRES.. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM BOERNE DODGE ON 5/17/2019 SO THEY SHOULD HAVE RECORDS OF THE TIRES THAT WERE ON THE TRUCK. MY VEHICLE CHECKUP REPORT FROM BOERNE DODGE ON 8/8/2019 SAYS MY TIRES WHERE AT 8/32 AND I HAD A COURTESY TIRE CHECK FROM FIRESTONE SHOWING THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE IS 6/32, LEFT FRONT IS 4/32 AND THE REAR TIRES ARE AT 11/32 (BRAND NEW). FIRESTONE STATED THAT IN LESS THAN 1,000 MILES THERE IS NO WAY MY TIRES WENT FROM 8/32 TO 6/32 LET ALONE 4/32. ALSO, WOULD ONE OF YOUR USED TRUCKS BE SOLD WITH TIRE TREADS THAT DIFFERENT? THE DIFFERENCE IN THESE TREADS CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE'S DIFFERENTIALS AND/OR VISCOUS COUPLINGS. FIRESTONE ALSO SAID THAT THE BRAKE DUST ON THE FRONT TIRES WOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED WHEN THE ENGINE WAS BEING REPLACED WHICH IAS STATE BY THE MANAGER OF YOUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON 9/23/2019 WHEN I WENT TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES ABOVE. I HAVE ALSO SPOKEN TO ANOTHER CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY SAID THE TWO FRONT TIRES ARE REMOVED WHEN AN ENGINE IS REPLACED. AT THE TIME OF MY TRUCKS REPAIR THERE WERE 3 OTHER TRUCKS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I AM SURE MY TIRES AND ANOTHER TRUCKS WERE SWITCHED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE ENTERED INTO LIMP MODE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT EXCEED 1,500 RPMS. WHILE DRIVING UP A HILL, THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE OVER 5 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN SEVERAL TIMES TO CLOVIS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (395 WEST HERNDIB AVENUE, CLOVIS, CA 93612, (888) 696-0723). THE DEALER REPLACED THE MAP SENSOR, COOLANT SENSOR, AND THE VEHICLE COMPUTER FAULT CODE WAS CLEARED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT SURE IF THE REPAIR CORRECTED THE FAILURE BECAUSE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING 8,000 TO 10,000 MILES, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 5874636. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,676.

AFTER THE EMISSIONS RECALL FIX, THE VEHICLE NOW HAS A 5-6 SECOND PEDDLE LAG WHEN TAKING OFF. IT IS MORE NOTICEABLE WHEN COLD BUT STILL HAS LAG WHEN WARM. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO BE BROADSIDED SEVERAL TIMES. ALSO NOTED A 5-6 MPG DROP WITH THE EMISSIONS SOFTWARE UPDATE. THEY CLAIMED THE UPDATE WOULDN'T EFFECT DRIVE ABILITY OR MPG BUT IT DID AND BAD

MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR AN "APPROVED EMISSIONS MODIFICATION" AEM. IT WAS STATED THAT, "THE AEM WAS NOT EXPECTED TO CHANGE ANY OF YOUR VEHICLE ATTRIBUTES...ETC" AFTER MY VEHICLE RECEIVED THE AEM IT CHANGED MY VEHICLE'S PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY. 1. THE VEHICLE LOST THE LOW END POWER AND YOU HAVE TO STEP ON THE GAS JUST TO GET THE VEHICLE TO RESPOND. I'VE EXPERIENCED LAG TIMES THAT EXCEED 4 SECONDS. THIS HAPPENS EITHER FROM BEING AT A FULL STOP, CASUAL, OR FREEWAY DRIVING. 2. WHEN GOING UP A STEEP HILL AT SLOW SPEEDS (15 MPH FOR EXAMPLE) THE VEHICLE SHIFTS UP UNTIL THE TRUCK BOGS DOWN AND ALMOST COMES TO A STOP. PUSHING ON THE ACCELERATOR REVS THE ENGINE UP, PAUSES FOR A FEW SECONDS, THEN DROPS INTO A LOW GEAR AND JERKS FORWARD. THIS LASTS MOMENTARILY UNTIL THE VEHICLE UPSHIFTS AGAIN AND BOGS DOWN. THIS CYCLE IS REPEATED OVER AND OVER IF YOU HAVE TO ASCEND SLOWLY. 3. WHEN ACCELERATING UNTO THE FREEWAY, THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT INTO 8TH GEAR. IT HOLDS AT 2100+ RPM AND WON'T SHIFT UP UNLESS YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR! THIS VEHICLE IS A HAZARD ON THE ROADWAY AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE. ADDITIONALLY, THE AEM HAS CAUSED MY TRUCK TO GET A 20% REDUCTION IN MPG. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN SEVERAL TIMES AND OPENED UP A CASE. I WAS JUST RECENTLY SENT AN E-MAIL REPLY SAYING "THEY" ARE FINISHED WITH THE INVESTIGATION AND, "YOUR CONCERNS WITH THE VEHICLE'S PERFORMANCE HAVE BEEN FULLY DIAGNOSED BY OUR CERTIFIED SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT WHAT YOU ARE EXPERIENCING IS A COMMON AND ACCEPTABLE CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE'S DESIGN; THIS MEANS THAT THE VEHICLE IS OPERATING WITHIN ITS FACTORY ENGINEERED SPECIFICATIONS AND THERE ARE NOT CURRENTLY ANY REPAIRS THAT WILL ALTER THE VEHICLE'S PERFORMANCE TO MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS." FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES WILL NOT REPAIR/RESTORE MY VEHICLE TO BE SAFE AND MEET THE SPECS THAT I PURCHASED!

THE AEM RECALL WAS COMPLETED AND THE TRUCK HAS A HORRIBLE TURBO LAG, WHICH ALMOST CAUSED ME TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT TWICE WITHIN 15 MINUTES OF PICKING IT UP. DEALERSHIP WILL NOT LOOK AT IT AND THIS IS AN UNSAFE VEHICLE FOR ROAD USE.

AFTER HAVING THE AEM (APPROVED EMISSIONS MODIFICATION) DONE FOR MY VEHICLE I HAVE NOTICED AN EXTREME LAG IN ENGINE RESPONSE. WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC FROM A STOP IT TAKES AT LEAST FOUR SECONDS FOR THE ENGINE TO RESPOND AS IT USED TO BEFORE THIS UPDATE. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL INSTANCES, EVEN TAKING THIS RESPONSE TIME INTO CONSIDERATION BEFORE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC, THAT I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF RESPONSE OR ACCELERATION. A CHECK ON ANY RAM ECODIESEL FORUM ON THE WEB WILL FIND MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. ALL AGREE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND WILL EVENTUALLY RESULT IN SOMEONE'S DEATH. I WILL PUT TODAY'S DATE IN DOWN BELOW BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A ONE TIME OCCURRENCE IT IS A DAILY OCCURRENCE WITH THIS VEHICLE.

MY TRUCK RECEIVED THE V08 EMISSIONS SOFTWARE RECALL BEFORE I PURCHASED IT IN JULY OF 2019. AS WITH HUNDREDS OF OTHER ECODIESEL OWNERS, I AM EXPERIENCING A DANGEROUS THROTTLE LAG WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD. IF I TRY TO TURN LEFT AND MERGE INTO TRAFFIC, THERE IS A SEVERAL SECOND DELAY BEFORE THE TRUCK STARTS BUILDING SPEED. I FEEL THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A CRASH. I HAVE UNINTENTIONALLY CUT PEOPLE OFF BECAUSE OF THIS THROTTLE LAG AND ANGERED OTHER DRIVERS. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS AFTER THE V08 RECALL ON INTERNET FORUMS. FCA IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A FIX COMING ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET BUT WHO KNOWS IF THAT IS TRUE OR HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE. THE AEM WAS "NOT SUPPOSED TO ALTER VEHICLE PERFORMANCE" ACCORDING TO THE RECALL LETTER. OBVIOUSLY THAT WAS NOT TRUE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE RESOLVED IN A TIMELY MANOR. THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY A SAFETY RECALL. SOME ARE ALSO CLAIMING THEIR VEHICLES ARE CATCHING FIRE AFTER THE AEM WAS PERFORMED.

VEHICLE BEGAN TO SMOKE FROM ENGINE BAY. MOTOR CUT OUT AND THEN BURST INTO FLAMES.

AFTER AEM UPDATE THEIR IS A THROTTLE AND TURBO LAG THAT HAS PUT ME IN HARMS WAY ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. WHEN MAKING A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN THE ENGINE FAILS TO ACCELERATE FOR SOME TIMES UP TO A BLOCK MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO MERGE SAFELY WITH TRAFFIC THIS HAS RESULTED IN NUMEROUS EXTREMELY CLOSE CALLS. BOTH ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS THE PROBLEM IS IN THE NEW SOFTWARE THAT UPDATED THE REQUIRED AEM THIS PROBLEM IS BEING IGNORED BY FCA AND YOU HOW MANY ACCIDENTS OR DEATHS BEFORE YOU ACT?

AFTER RESOLVING RECALL FOR EMMSUONS ON MY 2015 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL, THE THROTTLE RESPONSE IS LAGGING. AFTER I MAKE A TURN ONTO A ROAD THE TRUCK FAILS TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS PEDDLE IS BEING PUSHED. IT HAS ABOUT A 3-4 SECOND LEG TIME. IT IS ESPECIALLY BAD IN A 90 DEGREE TURN GOING THROUGH A GREEN LIGHT ONTO ANOTHER ROAD. I'VE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED BY TRAFFICKING THAT WAS ORIGINALLY 150-200 FEET AWAY WHEN I ORIGINALLY TURNED ONTO THE ROAD. THE LAG IS ALSO NOTICED IN PASSING SITUATIONS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED IN EIGHTH GEAR, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED INTO SIXTH GEAR. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE FUEL MILEAGE DECREASED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CARLOCK CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT OF TUPELO (966 CROSS CREEK DR, SALTILLO, MS 38866, (662) 842-2277) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE EGR COOLER BURST AND WAS LEAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,435. *BF *TP

I HAD THE RECALL FROM RAM FOR THE ECODIESEL RECALL AND NOW THE TRUCK IS COMPLETE UNSAFE. I CAN'T EVEN ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC WITHOUT GETTING NERVOUS. THE TRUCK LAGS AND THE THROTTLE RESPONSE IS TERRIBLE NOW. INSTEAD OF BUYING THEM BACK LIKE VOLKSWAGEN DID, CHRYSLER PUT US IN DEATH TRAPS.

I HAD THE AEM RECALL AND THE TRUCK IS EXTREMELY SLUGGISH UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY WARM. EVEN IF IT SITS FOR 1/2 HOUR OR MORE IT IS VERY UNRESPONSIVE FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. HARD TO CROSS AN INTERSECTION ETC. WHEN IT WILL BARELY MOVE.

WHEN I BOUGHT MY TRUCK IN SEPTEMBER 2018, EARNHARDT TOLD ME THEY FIXED THE RECALL TO THE TAILGATE, AND WHILE DRIVING TO WORK THIS MORNING MY TAILGATE DROPPED OPEN AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE TRUCK FOR ONE YEAR.

FCA ISSUED A SOFTWARE UPDATE KNOWN AT "AEM" AFTER THEY LOST THEIR CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. I HAD MY TRUCK UPDATED ON 5/29/19 WITH THE "AEM", ROTARY SHIFT AUTOPARK RECALL UPDATE, THE SEAT BELT RECALL UPDATE, AIRBAG RECALL UPDATE, AND THE TAILGATE RECALL UPDATE. I ALSO HAD A CATASTROPHIC EGR SYSTEM FAILURE THAT MADE MY TRUCK INOPERABLE FOR NEARLY THREE WEEKS. THE VEHICLE IS NOW UTTERLY UNPREDICTABLE. AFTER THE INITIAL START, I RANDOMLY HAVE NO LOW-END POWER. THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY LURCHES FORWARD AT FULL SPEED WHEN I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR FROM A FULL STOP. THIS MORNING I WAS TURNING LEFT FROM A DEAD STOP INTO TRAFFIC. I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT BARELY INCHED FORWARD FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. SUDDENLY IT HIT FULL POWER AND LAUNCHED INTO THE ROADWAY, BARELY IN TIME TO KEEP FROM BEING T-BONED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SOON THEREAFTER I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WAITING FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO STOP SO THAT I COULD TURN LEFT. THE LIGHT TURNED YELLOW AND TRAFFIC STOPPED SO I TRIED TO TURN. MY TRUCK STUMBLED AND BARELY MOVED UNTIL IT AGAIN, LAUNCHED FORWARD AT FULL POWER CAUSING THE READ END TO SKID OUT TO THE SIDE AND STRIKE THE CURB OF THE SIDEWALK. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE NOW HAS A COMPLETELY RANDOM SHIFT PATTERN. WHEN CRUISING AT 55 MPH THE ENGINE MAY BE RUNNING AT 1500 RPM OR IT MAY BE 2250 RPM. THE INABILITY TO SHIFT CORRECTLY AT HIGH SPEEDS MEANS THAT I CANNOT RELIABLY MERGE WITH, OR OVERTAKE TRAFFIC. IT ALSO MEANS THAT MY TRUCK CANNOT RELIABLY TOW A LOAD WITHOUT POSING A THREAT TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. IT'S NOT PREDICTABLE AND IT'S DANGEROUS.

AFTER V08/V11 RECALL WAS PERFORMED I NOW EXPERIENCE LOSS OF ACCELERATION TILL WARM UP. LIKE A DEAD PEDAL. ALSO A LOSS OF A CONFIRMED 5-6MPG. IT WAS STATED IN THE RECALL WE WOULD NOT LOOSE MILEAGE. IF WE DID IT WOULD BE VERY MINIMAL. 5MPG IS NOT MINIMAL. MY TRUCK WILL BARELY STAY IN 8TH GEAR NOW. JUST BOUNCING BETWEEN 7TH AND 8TH. NOW EVERYONE IS WORRIED ABOUT ALL THE FIRES DUE TO EGR VALVES STICKING OPEN AND CAUSING THE PLASTIC INTAKE MANIFOLDS TO CATCH FIRE. MY WIFE IS VERY NERVOUS TO TAKE IT ON TRIPS OR EVEN PARK IT IN THE GARAGE. WE HAD NEW SMOKE DETECTORS ADDED IN GARAGE INCASE TRUCK DOES CATCH ON FIRE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THESE ISSUES. THERE ARE MORE THAN YOU THINK. PEDAL ISSUE, LOSS OF FUEL MILEAGE, ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRES. THANKS

RECENT ECM UPDATE BY FCA HAS DETUNED MY TRUCK. LOSS OF MPG, TURBO LAG, CAUSING FIRES.

MY VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY STOCK AND HAVE NEVER BEEN MODIFIED. AFTER THE ADVANCE ENGINE MODIFICATION (V08), I NOTICE A DELAY ON THE THROTTLE. SCARY ENOUGH TO NOT BEING ABLE PULL OUT OF THE WAY OF ACCIDENT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. IT DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH POWER AT INITIAL PUSH WHEN OVER TAKING BUT WHEN IT GETS THERE IT WILL MAINTAIN THE SPEED.

I HAD THE UPDATED AEM INSTALLED IN MY 2015 RAM ECO DIESEL. NOW AT TIMES I STEP ON THE GAS AND IT LAGS REALLY BAD(NO POWER). THIS COULD BE BAD WHILE IN TRAFFIC ETC

DID THE AEM RECALL EMISSIONS REPROGRAM. THE TRUCK NOW HAS VERY SLOW ACCELERATION WHEN COLD. YOU HAVE TO FLOOR THE THROTTLE TO GET IT TO MOVE WHEN COLD. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC OR LEAVING A STOP. THE FUEL ECONOMY HAS DROPPED TO 20-21 MPG FROM 25 AND HIGHER. IT IS A MUCH DIFFERENT AND NOT ENJOYED TRUCK ANYMORE. TALKED WITH DEALER. THEY ARE VERY AWARE OF THE ISSUE AS ALMOST EVERYONE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS. NOTHING THEY CAN DO BUT SAY "HOPEFULLY A DIFFERENT RE FLASH OR TUNE WILL BE SENT AFTER THE COMPLAINTS" WISHING NOW IT WAS JUST A SIMPLE BUY BACK OFFER.

FIAT CHRYSLER (FCA) RECENTLY SETTLED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AFFECTING MY RAM ECODIESEL TRUCK. AFTER THAT SETTLEMENT, I WAS REQUIRED TO GET A SOFTWARE FLASH CALLED THE "APPROVED EMISSIONS MODIFICATOIN" (AEM). AFTER RECEIVING THAT SOFTWARE "FIX", MY TRUCK DRIVES NOTABLY DIFFERENT AND IS NOW VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE HUGE DROP IN POWER AND INCREASE IN TURBO LAG. ESPECIALLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD OR NOT COMPLETELY UP TO OPERATING TEMPERATURE, I EXPERIENCE ALMOST NO THROTTLE RESPONSE WHEN PULLING OUT ONTO A HIGHWAY BY MY HOUSE. THERE IS A HUGE AMOUNT OF TURBO LAG, TO THE TUNE OF SEVERAL SECONDS, WHICH MAKES PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC A VERY DANGEROUS EVENT. THIS WAS NEVER AN ISSUE PRIOR TO THE REQUIRED AEM UPDATE, SO I'M FILING A COMPLAINT TO OUTLINE THIS DRASTIC DECREASE IN PERFORMANCE WHICH IS DOWNRIGHT DANGEROUS FOR THOUSANDS IF NOT MILLIONS OF RAM AND JEEP CUSTOMERS.

TRUCK HITS BUMPS AND IT LIKE SLIDES ALL OVER THE ROAD. AND I HAVE A CLUNKING NOISE ON PASSENGER SIDE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S FROM. DEALER LOOKED COULDN'T FIND OUT WHAT IT WAS. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND HIT A BUMP AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL. THAT'S HOW BAD IT MOVES. MY WHEEL BEARINGS SEEM OK, AND MY TIE ROD ENDS SO NOT SURE IF SHOCKS COULD CAUSE CRAZY MOVEMENT FROM BUMPS OR NOT.

RECEIVED A MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT FOR A PROBLEM IN THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. INVOICE REPORT SHOWS PLASTIC FROM INTAKE MANIFOLD MELTING AND GETTING INTO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. ALSO, ECODIESEL AEM UPDATE V08 HAS CAUSED PEDAL LAG, MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ACCELERATE.

AFTER AN EMISSIONS RECALL UPDATE WAS PERFORMED ON MY 2015 RAM ECO DIESEL I NOW EXPERIENCE LOWER MPG AND POOR ENGINE PERFORMANCE ALONG WITH A NOTICEABLE CHANGE IN TRANSMISSION SHIFTING.. AT TIMES WHEN PULLING ONTO A HIGHWAY FROM A STOPPED POSITION THE VEHICLE HESITATES FOR A BIT THEN SEEMS TO ACCELERATE OKAY. THIS HAS BECOME A SAFETY CONCERN DO TO THE FACT IT ISN'T CONSISTENT. I HAVE TO BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHEN ACCELERATING BECAUSE I WAS CLOSE TO CAUSING AN ACCIDENT A FEW TIMES ALREADY. BEFORE THE EMISSIONS UPDATE I DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANY PROBLEMS.

SINCE HAVING THE APPROVED EMISSIONS MODIFICATION DONE ON MY RAM ECODIESEL THE TRUCK WILL NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY UNTIL THE ENGINE SEEMS TO REACH FULL OPERATING TEMPERATURE. WHEN I ATTEMPT TO PULL ONTO ANOTHER HIGHWAY THE ENGINE BOGS DOWN AND ACTS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION. WITH COLDER WEATHER APPROACHING I AM CONCERNED THIS ISSUE MAY WORSEN.

POWER IS OFF,THROTTLE LAG IS BAD TURBO WILL NOT SPOOL UP UNTIL HIGH RPM,TRANSMISSION WON'T STAY IN 8 GEAR WITH THE SLIGHTEST INCLINE AND SHIFTS BACK AND FORTH FROM 6/7/8 WHEN PULLING SMALL LOADS AND WITH BIG LOADS IT USE TO STAY IN 8TH GEAR ALMOST ALL THE TIME FUEL MILEAGE IS DOWN BY 6/8 MILES TO THE GALLON ALL THIS HAS HAPPENED AFTER THE VO8 RECALL,HAD TO HAVE A EGR COOLER AND PIPE PUT ON BECAUSE IT WENT INTO LIMP MODE, TRUCK IS SCARY TO DRIVE NOW YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IS WILL EXCELLERATE WHEN YOU PUSH THE GAS SOME TIMES IT WILL TAKE UP TO 5 SECONDS BEFORE IT START PULLING AND I HAVE A I CLING GOING OUT OF MY DRIVE AND IT ALMOST STALLS WHEN GOING OUT IN THE MORNING AND AFTER IT WARMS UP IT WILL THROW DRIVEL WHEN IT FINALLY STRTS PULLING . THIS WINTER WILL BE BAD WHEN IT GETS COLD BECAUSE IT IS BAD SLUGGISH IN THE MORNING TRUCK IS SCARED TO DRIVE NOW COMPARED TO BEFORE THE VO8 FLASH.FCA COULD COME UP WITH SOMETHING TO CURE THIS PROBLEM AND MISSISSIPPI HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CALIFORNIAPOLUTION STANDARD . MY TRUCK WAS RUNNING FINE AND GETTING FANTASTIC FUEL MILEAGE BEFORE THIS AND NOW IT HARD TO GET 20/21 OUT OF IT ON THE ROAD WHERE I WAS GETTING 28/30 YOU COULD STAND BEHIND MY TRUCK BEFOR FLASH AND NOT SMELL NOTHING BUT NOW IT WILL BURN YOUR NOSE . TEST WERE RUN BEFOR VO8 CRACKLE AND IT MET POLLUTION STANDARDS HOW DID FCA GET SUED FOR PASSING THE STANDARDS I GUESS CAL JUST DOESN'T LIKE DIESELS, DON'T THINK I WILL EVER GO TO CALIFORNIA OR BUY ANOTHER FCA VEHICLE I GUESS I WILL GO BACK TO TOYOTA WHEN THIS TRUCK QUITS WHICH WILL BE VERY SOON WITH ALL THE CELLS COMING ON NOW ,WE NEED HELP ON A USE TO BE VERY GOOD TRUCK . IT WAS FUN TO DRIVE WHEN I FIRST GOT IT BUT NOT ANY MORE . I USE THIS TRUCK TO PULL A TRACTOR ALL OVER THE U/S FOR DESASTER RELIEF WORK BUT I WILL NOT TAKE IT ANY MORE BECAUSE OF HOW IT RUNS NOW, REALLY SCARY TO PULL STUFF NOW COMPARED TO BEFORE FLASH

WHEN I GOT MY TRUCK IT RAN GOOD PULLED GREAT AND GOT FANTASTIC FUEL MILEAGE . I HAD THE RECALL DONE THE VO8 REF LASH, SINCE THAT WAS DONE MY MILEAGE HAS DROPPED 5/8 MILES PER GALLON THEIR IS A BAD THROTTLE LAG AND NO POWER COMING OFF A STOP MY EGR HAS BROKEN AND REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND ONE I CAN HARDLY GET 21 MILES PER GALLON BY IT SELF ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT STAY IN 8TH GEAR LIKE IT DID WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT. I HAVE BEEN ALL OVER THE EASTERN U S WITH NO PROBLEM PULLING ENCLOSED TRAILERS ANDS 35 HP 4/4 TRACTOR GETTING 19 TO 22 MILES PER GALLON AT 7/5 TO 80 MILES PER HOUR AND STAYING IN 8 THE GEAR. NOW NO POWER AND YOU HAVE TO STAY IN IT TO MAKE IT PULL AND TRANS. SHIFTS FROM 6/7 ALL THE TIME AND FUEL MILEAGE IS TERABLE AS LOW AS 16.6 I WILL NO LONGER USE THAT TRUCK TO GO ON DESASTER RELIEF ANY MORE BECAUSE IT IS SCARED TO DRIVE. IT USE TO BE A FUN TRUCK TO DRIVE BUT NOT NOW I AM 70 YEARS OLD AND A PREE MECHANIC AND THIS TRUCK STINKS NOW I AM ASHAMED TO TALK IT UP ANYMORE LIKE I DID WHEN IT WAS NEW I GUESS WHEN IT FAILS I WILL PUT IT IN THE FRONT YARD WITH A LEMON SIGN ON IT AND LEAVE IT I AM ONE DISSATIFIED CUSTOMER AND I HAVE 4 DODGES BUT WILL NOT OWN ANOTHER ONE UNLESS THESE ARE FIXED LIKE THEY WERE WHEN THEY WERE NEW.

BIG LAG WITH ACCELERATION FROM STOP. THIS IS SINCE THE FCA REFLASH FOR THE REBATE

DID THE FLASH UPGRADE TO FIX THE RECALL V08 AND EVER SINCE THEN IT HAS NO ACCELERATION WHEN COMING OFF A STOP. IT HAS A LAG OF A SECOND OR TWO AND IS VERY SCARY WHEN TRYING TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC. IT HAS SUCH A LAG THAT PULLING OUT THAT THAT YOUR NOT SURE THAT YOU WONT GET IN A ACCIDENT.

INVOLVING THE ECO DIESEL EMISSIONS UPDATE PERFORMED ON MY 2015 RAM 1500 AT THE DEALERSHIP BY FCA ON 06/11/19 SAID IT WOULD NOT CHANGE THE DRIVEABLITY OF THE VEHICLE BUT IT HAS, IN THE ACCELERATION THAT IS DELAYED OR SOMETIMES JUST NOT THERE AT ALL, THIS IS INCONSISTENT AND INTERMITTENT WHEN PULLING OUT ONTO A ROADWAY I MUST TAKE THE POSSIBILITY IN MIND THAT THE VEHICLE MIGHT NOT GET GOING INTO THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC, I FIND THIS TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD FOR EVERY DAY DRIVERS. THANK YOU ,PLEASE ADVISE

AFTER HAVING THE EMISSIONS ADJUSTMENTS FROM THE FCA SETTLEMENT WITH THE GOVERNMENT I NOTICE AT TIMES NOW WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP IT HESITATES ON TAKE OFF NOW AND TAKES A MIN BEFORE SEEMING TO GET THE POWER TO GO. SIGNIFICANT ACCELERATION DELAY, LOTS OF LAG . PLEASE LOOK AT ARTICLE ON TLFTRUCKS.COM SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE SAYING SAME THING PLEASE HELP !!!!

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING GRADUALLY FAILED INCIDENT TO A STRIKE ON A CONCRETE VERTICAL POLE WHILE IN A TURN APPROX 10MPH IN PARKING LOT. ALIGNMENT WAS SIGNIFICANTLY OFF. ALIGNED, BUT THE STEERING STILL CAUGHT/ FRICTION DURING TURNS, STEERING WOULD NO LONGER SCENTER UP. TOOK TO 3RD PARTY, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE. BARELY USED VEHICLE, AND AFTER PARKING AND POWER OFFF, AT NEXT START THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING TOTALLY FAILED, NEEDED TO APPLY 40-50 LBS OF FORCE ON STEERING WHEEL TO GET IT TO DO LIMITED TURNING, AND IT WOULD FREEZE IN THE NEW POSITION. UNDRIVEABLE, PAID TO TOW TO DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS NOT DUE TO STRIKING THE BOLLARD, BUT THEY DID NOT UNDERSTAND IT STARTED RIGHT THEN AFTER STRIKING THE BOLLARD, AND THAT IT BECAME WORSE OVER THE NEXT 2 WEEKS WITH VERY LITTLE USE THEN TOTALLY FAILED. THERE IS A RECALL, BUT NOT MY VIN.

LOSES POWER STEERING AT SLOWER CITY SPEEDS AND WHILE MAKING TURNS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR LEVER FAILED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH. THE FUEL SENSOR ALARMED ALERTED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR FAILED AND THE FUEL LEVEL DISPLAYED ZERO; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT NEW THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH AN UNKNOWN DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR COULD BE REPLACED WITH THE SAME PART AND WOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY FOR TWO YEARS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NOT A NEWLY DESIGNED FUEL LEVER SENSOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,186.

INTERRION OF TRUCK FILLS UP WITH WATER BECAUSE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT, MANIFOLD BOLTS AND GASKETS NEED REPLACED DUE TO SOME ISSUE. TAPPING NOISE FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT.

VERY WEAK ACCELERATION AFTER AEM UPDATE

I RECENTLY HAD THE APPROVED EMISSIONS MODIFICATION PERFORMED ON MY 2015 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL. SINCE THE MODIFICATION, THE TRUCK HAS A TERRIBLE LAG WHEN I TAKE OFF, SOMETIMES UP TO 5 SECONDS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON ACCELERATOR AND TRY TO GO. THIS LAG IS GOING TO GET ME HIT AND POSSIBLY KILLED. ONLINE FORUMS OF FELLOW RAM ECODIESEL OWNERS STATE THE SAME PROBLEM. RAM NEEDS TO GET THIS FIXED AND PUSH OUT AN UPDATE THAT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM OR I'M GOING TO GET INJURED OR KILLED IN THIS TRUCK. IT IS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THIS RECALL MODIFICATION.

AFTER HAVING RECALL, V08 DONE ON MY 2015 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL TRUCK. I HAVE AN EXTREME LAG WHEN TAKING OFF. IT IS SO BAD IT COULD BE DANGEROUS WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC FROM A COMPLETE STOP. IT IS A DEAD PEDAL WITH NO ACCELERATION WHEN YOU PUSH DOWN ON PEDAL. THIS OCCURS WHEN EVER I ACCELERATE FROM A STOP. I DID NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE BEFORE THE V08 UPDATE. I HAVE HEARD THIS IS A VERY WIDE PROBLEM AMONG RAM 1500'S THAT HAVE HAD V08 COMPLETED. IS THERE A FIX OR UPDATE TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE?

THE RADIO IN THE 2015 RAM TRUCKS HAS A LOT OF ISSUES. THE NAVIGATION WILL RANDOMLY GO OUT, THERE IS JO WAY TO FIX THE ISSUE, THE ISSUE FIXES ITS SELF IN TIME AND WITHOUT WARNING WILL GO OUT AGAIN. THE RADIO WILL NOT TURN ON AT TIMES, SO ALL CONTROLS THAT GO THROUGH THE RADIO ARE ALSO OUT. TO GET POWER TO COME BACK ON I HAVE TO TURN THE TRUCK ON AMD OFF SEVERAL TIMES. THE PART NUMBER FOR MY RADIO IS 1C6RR7NM1FS[XXX]. MY TRUCK IS A LARAMIE ECODIESEL MODEL. THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE RADIOS. RAM KNOWS OF THESE ISSUES BUT DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT, TREATS IT AS TOUGH LUCK. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

AFTER THE V08 RECALL THE DRIVABILITY OF VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS. THE FUEL CONSUMPTION AND THE LAG OF THE ENGINE IS ALSO A HUGE CONCERN BUT IT HANDLES TOTALLY DIFFERENT. WHILE IT STILL SEEMS DECENTLY RELIABLE, FOR NOW, EVERYDAY UNSURENESS OF TRYING TO ANTICIPATE HOW THE VEHICLE WILL HANDLE DURING DRIVING IS THE PRIMARY FACTOR.

AFTER THE V08 RECALL MY MPG WENT FROM THE 27 TO 31 TO 19 TO 21 MPG THE RECALL WAS NOT SUPPOSED THE CHANGED THE MILEAGE THAT MUCH... AND THE SOME TIME IT SLOW TO THE START FROM A STOP

AFTER RECEIVING MY TRUCK BACK FROM A RAM DEALERSHIP WHO PREFORMED THE REQUIRED AEM EMISSIONS RECALL, IT HAS NOT RUN THE SAME. THE IS A NOTICEABLE MPG DROP BOTH IN THE CITY AND ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE IS ALSO A SIGNIFICANT DELAY IN THE RESPONSE OF THE TRUCK WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THIS IS NOTICEABLE WHEN LIGHTLY ACCELERATING WHILE IN TRAFFIC OR WHEN YOU HAVE TO AGGRESSIVELY ACCELERATE TO EITHER AVOID ANOTHER VEHICLE OR WHEN GETTING UP TO SPEED OF MOVING TRAFFIC.

I PURCHASE A 2015 RAM 1500 ECO-DIESEL IN DECEMBER 2015. ON JUNE 1, 2119, THE DEALER PERFORMED THE COURT APPROVED ECO-DIESEL MODIFICATIONS IN CONFORMANCE WITH EPA MANDATE. I SUBMITTED MY CLAIM TO FCA ON JUNE 3,2019. AFTER THE MODIFICATIONS, ACCELERATION FROM A STARTING POSITION LAGS BY ABOUT 3 SECONDS, CAUSING A DRIVER RESPONSE INCONSISTENCY THAT HAS RESULTED IN SEVERAL NEAR MISSES OF ON-COMING CARS WHEN ENTERING INTO TRAFFIC. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE! NOT OF A SAFETY CONCERN, BUT A FALSE CLAIM MADE BY FCA IS THE FACT THAT THE DIESEL PERFORMANCE IN MILES PER GALLON HAS DROPPED FROM 24 MPG AVERAGE FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS TO A 21.5 MPG AVERAGE FOR THE PAST 4 MONTHS. IN ADDITION, NO CLAIM PAYMENT HAS BEEN RECEIVED WITHIN THE 3 MONTHS AFTER MODIFICATIONS WERE MADE. LETTERS HAVE BEEN SENT, BUT RESPONSES ARE ADDITIONAL BUREAUCRATIC DEMANDS MADE TO CONSUMER. THIS VEHICLE IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

AFTER RECALL V08 /V11 UPDATES: SEVERLY DELAYED TROTTLE RESPONSE WHEN ACCELERATING. FROM A STOP TO ACTUAL THROTTLE RESPONDING TO 3/4 PRESSURE IS AT A MINIMUM OF 30-40 FEET.

V08 RECALL. ACCELERATION FROM ANY SPEED, INCLUDING STANDING START IS DANGEROUSLY DELAYED, PULLING INTO AND ACROSS TRAFFIC IS UNPREDICTABLE. THERE IS NO THROTTLE RESPONSE UNTIL AROUND 70% THROTTLE, THEN ACCELERATION IS UNPREDICTABLE AND LATE. FUEL CONSUMPTION IS BEYOND PASSABLE FOR SUCH A POTENTIALLY EFFICIENT AND POWERFUL ENGINE. THE PURPOSE OF THE VEHICLE IS LIGHT TOWING. THE POWER TRAIN HAS BEEN TUNED TO THE POINT THAT IT'S USELESS, THE VGT FIGHTS AT ABOVE 70% CAPACITY TO MAINTAIN TORQUE AND POWER TO THE WHEELS. FUEL INJECTION TIMING RANGES FROM -17 TO +5 DEGREES, ONLY TO MAINTAIN EMISSIONS EFFICIENCY, THE NEW ECU PROGRAMMING COMPLETELY IGNORES EFFICIENT ENGINE MANAGEMENT- FOCUSING ON EMISSIONS CONTROL. SYSTEM AND ENGINE COMPONENTS ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR THE CRAZY EGT TEMPS THAT COME WITH THE LATE FUEL INJECTION. ENGINE FIRES- INTAKE MANIFOLD IN PARTICULAR- ARE BECOMING VERY COMMON. WILL IT TAKE A FEW FATALITIES BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE. ALL TO PROVE SOME EPA POINT. I COULD BE GETTING 30 PLUS MPG, WITHOUT THE EGR SYSTEM, STILL TARGET SPECIFIC EXHAUST GAS EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS AND GET SOME RELIABILITY WITHOUT FEARING MY VEHICLE WILL BURST INTO FLAMES OR GET T-BONED TRYING TO CROSS TRAFFIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING AN EMISSIONS UPDATE THAT WAS REQUIRED VIA A LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM. THE CONTACT HAD THE EMISSIONS UPDATED AT CORTESE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (2400 W HENRIETTA RD, #2324, ROCHESTER, NY 14623, (800) 952-7892) IN JUNE OF 2019. SINCE THEN, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S OVERALL PERFORMANCE DECREASED BY 25%. THE VEHICLE ALSO LOST POWER, LOST ACCELERATION, AND THE CRUISE CONTROL OPERATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND A CASE WAS OPENED. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT TO CALL THE DEALER AND INFORM THEM OF THE FAILURES. THE SAME DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT EVERYTHING WAS FINE; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT INFORMED THEM THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THEN ACCELERATE SUDDENLY. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS INTENDED AND CLOSED THE CASE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

THE ENGINE BLEW UP UNDER WARRANTY BUT WAS VOIDED BY AFTERMARKET PARTS. THE PARTS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FAILURE.FCA KNOWS THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND FOUND THE EASY WAYOUT COSTING ME THOUSANDS...

I HAVE A 2015 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL TRUCK. IT RECENTLY HAD THE UPGRADE TO THE EPA APPROVED ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION PROGRAM AS A RESULT OF THE LAWSUIT BETWEEN THE EPA AND FCA, LLC. THIS NEW PROGRAM HAS INDUCED A "DEAD ZONE" IN MY ACCELERATOR PEDAL THAT IS, IN MY OPINION, DANGEROUS. I HAVE HAD THIS NEW PROGRAM FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND TWICE HAVE EXPERIENCED NO ACCELERATION WHILE PROGRESSIVELY PRESSING THE PEDAL WHILE TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION. THIS IS SCARY AND UNACCEPTABLE. MY CLAIM REP AT FCA, LLC INDICATED THAT FCA, LLC IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT BASICALLY I AM STUCK WITH THE PROGRAM. THE TRUCK DID NOT DO THIS BEFORE THE RE-PROGRAMMING UPGRADE. ANOTHER CASE OF "WE'RE FROM THE GOVERNMENT, AND WE'RE HERE TO HELP."

MOTOR CAUGHT FIRE AND DESTROYED VEHICLE. THIS WAS PARKED AT A HOME.

I PURCHASED MY 2015 RAM 1500 BRAND NEW ORDERED FROM THE FACTORY. AFTER ABOUT TWO YEARS THE RAM BOX COVERS DEGRADED WHICH LEAVE PIECES OF FIBERGLASS IN MY ARMS WHENEVER I REACH ACROSS THEM TO TIE SOMETHING DOWN OR GET SOMETHING OUT OF THE BED OF MY TRUCK. THIS CAUSES A RASH THAT LASTS FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS. I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY TRUCK. THIS IS NOT DUE TO OWNER ERROR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500 THE VEHICLE STARTED TO STALL AND THE ODOR OF SMOKE WAS PRESENT THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE BRAKES SEIZED AND PRODUCED SMOKE THE DEALER DIAGNOSED FAULTY CALIPERS THAT REQUIRED REPLACING THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH THE VEHICLE SPEED SUDDENLY BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND THE ODOR OF SMOKE WAS PRESENT. UPON INSPECTION IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE BRAKES HAD SEIZED AND WERE SMOKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER BOBB AUTO GROUP. 13007 WICKER AVE, SEIRR LAKE IND WHILE DIAGNOSED THAT THE CALIPER WERE FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AND REAR BRAKE ASSEMBLIES WERE REPLACED AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT RECEIVER FAILED TO PROPERLY LATCH AND HOLD THE SEAT BELT IN PLACE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS WAS FIRST DISCOVERED.

AFTER THE AEM UPDATE RELATED TO THE ECO DIESEL EMISSIONS SETTLEMENT, THE TRUCK HAS A DANGEROUS THROTTLE LAG, ESPECIALLY AT COLD START. I HAVE PULLED OUT NUMEROUS TIMES ONLY TO HAVE ESSENTIALLY NO RESPONSE BEFORE A VEHICLE COMES ALONG AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I CAN PUT THE PEDAL ON THE FLOOR AND IT CAN TAKE SEVERAL SECONDS BEFORE THE TRUCK FINALLY STARTS TO ACCELERATE. THIS HAPPENS WITH AN EMPTY TRUCK BUT IS EVEN MORE DANGEROUS WHEN TOWING. I AM NOT SURE HOW MUCH OF THIS IS THROTTLE RESPONSE, TRANSMISSION OR TURBO LAG BUT IT IS A SCARY FEELING TO NOT BE ABLE TO MERGE NORMALLY INTO TRAFFIC. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND THEY TRIED A REFLASH OF THE COMPUTER TO ADJUST THE ACCELERATOR POSITION SENSOR. I THOUGHT IT WAS A LITTLE BETTER FOR A SHORT PERIOD BUT IT IS AS BAD AS EVER.

VEHICLE HAS LESS THEN 36000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS BACK AT THE DEALER TO REPAIR EXHAUST MANIFOLD BROKEN BOLT/WARPED EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM BUT WARRANTY REPAIRS WILL STOP UPON EXPIRATION OF WARRANTY. WHERE RAM ACCEPTS THE FACT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND WILL HAPPEN AGAIN, SHOULD THEY NOT BE LIABLE? IT HAS BEEN OUT OF THE SHOP FOR THE REPAIR ON THE RIGHT BANK AND IS NOW AT THE SHOP FOR THE LEFT BANK.

I HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PROMPTED BY A FUEL SENSOR FAIL WARNING. AT TIMES WHEN THE TANK IS FULL THE LIGHT GOES OUT AND THE FUEL GAUGE WORKS. WHEN THE TANK GETS TO ABOUT 3/4 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY. I HAVE LOOKED IN SEVERAL REPAIR FORUMS AND HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM ON SEVERAL YEAR MODELS. FURTHERMORE, IT IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR COSTING ANYWHERE FROM ABOUT 700.00 TO 1,000.00 DOLLARS. IN THESE FORUMS MECHANICS ARE ADVISING NOT TO REPLACE THE SENSOR WITH MOPAR PARTS AS THE ISSUE WILL OCCUR AGAIN. OBVIOUSLY THESE ARE SUBSTANDARD OR DEFECTIVE PARTS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE SENSORS. TO ADD FURTHER FRUSTRATION, I CANNOT GET AN ANNUAL INSPECTION STICKER WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER A SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED BY AUBURN CHRYSLER DODGE (1901 GRASS VALLEY HWY, AUBURN, CA 95603). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

I JUST RECEIVED THE UPGRADE FOR THE EMISSIONS RECALL ON MY 2015 RAM ECODIESEL. AFTER READING ABOUT THE COMPLAINTS ON FORUMS I TOLD MYSELF TO BE HONEST WITH MYSELF AND KEEP A OPEN MIND AFTER THE WORK WAS COMPLETED. WELL WITH CERTAINTY I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT ALL THE COMPLAINTS ARE LEGITIMATE. IT IS A DIFFERENT PERFORMING VEHICLE. LARGE LAG IN ENGINE POWERING UP FROM A STOP. ONE HAS TO TAKE THE HESITATION THAT IS NOW PRESENT INTO CONSIDERATION TO BE SAFE WHEN CROSSING A INTERSECTION OR OUT INTO TRAFFIC ANYWHERE. I AM 63 YEARS OLD AND CONSIDER MYSELF A SAFE CONSCIENTIOUS DRIVER. BUT HAVE TO BURY THE ACCELERATOR UP TO 3000 RPM WHEN PULLING OUT I TO TRAFFIC!!! THAT IS CRAZY. IT DID NOT PERFORM THIS RADICAL TO EASILY CRISS AN INTERSECTION PRIOR TO THE UPDATED ECM. SOMEONE WILL OR HAS ALREADY GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE CHANGE AND I WILL NOT PUT MY FAMILY IN DANGER DUE TO THE CHANGES THAT FIAT/CHRYSLER MADE TO SATISFY A LAWSUIT. THIS ISSUE THAT ALL OF US OWNERS ARE HAVING NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I URGE YOU TO LOOK INTO THE DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT THE CHANGES HAVE MADE TO THE ECODIESEL ENGINE. SOMEBODY WILL GET T BONED AND GET OR KILLED DUE TO THE DOWNGRADE OF THE ENGINES ABILITY TO PERFORM NORMALLY. I DO ENVISION ANOTHER CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT DUE TO SEVERE INJURIES OR FATALITIES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND HOPEFULLY ASSISTANCE. (XXXX) REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

FCA'S APPROVED EMISSIONS MODIFICATION SOFTWARE WAS INSTALLED IN MY TRUCK AND NOW IT HAS LOST ITS POWER AND THERE IS A LONG TURBO GAP WHICH IS DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD THE TRUCK WILL HARDLY TAKE OFF FROM A STOP SIGN. I HAVE REGISTERED A COMPLAINT WITH RAM AND THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT IS A COMMON COMPLAINT ABOUT THE UPDATE AND RAM HAS NOT CONTACTED ME WITH ANY INFORMATION.

AS A RESULT OF THE EPA LAWSUIT AGAINST FCA, MY 2015 RAM ECODIESEL HAD THE APPROVED EMISSIONS MODIFICATION PERFORMED BY A DEALER ON MAY 10, 2019. ON MAY 11, 2019, WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY (!) THE INTAKE MANIFOLD VALVING FAILED DUE TO A MAJOR PORTION OF MY EMISSIONS SYSTEM FAILING (EGR VALVE AND EGR COOLER) RESULTING IN SUBSTANTIAL LOSS OF POWER WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE TRUCK WAS DELIVERED TO THE DEALER ON MAY 12. REPLACEMENT OF THE EGR SYSTEM AND INTAKE MANIFOLD WAS REQUIRED. NUMEROUS PARTS DELAYS FOLLOWED. THEN, WHILE TRYING TO REPLACE A GLOW PLUG, THE GLOW PLUG THREADS WERE FOUND TO BE SEIZED IN THE CYLINDER HEAD, NECESSITATING REPLACEMENT OF THE CYLINDER HEAD (THIS IS ANOTHER COMMON PROBLEM WITH FCA ECODIESEL MOTORS AND COSTS THE CUSTOMER $3000 DOLLARS TO REPAIR.) MORE PART DELAYS. WHEN ALL PARTS FINALLY ARRIVED THE VEHICLE WOULD START BUT NOT CONTINUE RUNNING. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER THE SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE OTHER CYLINDER HEAD. ESTIMATED PART AVAILABILITY IS NOV. 19, 2019 (TODAY IS 26AUG2019). FCA NEEDS TO REPLACE THESE MOTORS AT A MINIMUM OR BUYBACK THE VEHICLES AND REPLACE THEM.

FCA RECALL, RESULTED IN A VERY DANGEROUS TURBO LAG WHICH WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE GIVES A 3-4 SECONDS DELAY WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS APPLIED. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED FROM THIS. THEY KNOWINGLY CAUSED THIS TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. THE VEHICLE MPG IS DROPPED BY 3-4MPG AS WELL. THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS AND ARE REFUSING TO FIX IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THEY CAME TO A STOP AT 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND THE CONTACT HAD TO PULL OVER. THE CONTACT THEN NOTICED THAT THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT AND HIS WIFE THEN EXITED THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS AT THE SCENE AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES BETWEEN THE CONTACT AND THEIR SPOUSE. THE CONTACT HAD TO WAIT FOR THEIR INSURANCE TO DETERMINE WEATHER THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED OR NOT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED SWANTY'S CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF BULLHEAD CITY LOCATED AT 2494 AZ-95, BULLHEAD CITY, AZ 86442; PHONE NUMBER: (928) 704-2222, WHERE THE DEALER HAD TO WAIT ON THE CONTACT'S INSURANCE AND THEIR ANSWER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THEY PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,498. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

2015 RAM ECO DIESEL. RECENTLY, RAM AND JEEP WERE INVOLVED IN "IN RE: CHRYSLER-DODGE-JEEP "ECODIESEL" MDL," WHICH RESOLVED LEGAL CLAIMS ASSERTING THAT THE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH FEDERAL AND STATE EMISSIONS REGULATIONS AND THAT FIAT CHRYSLER MADE MISREPRESENTATIONS TO CONSUMERS REGARDING THE VEHICLES. I PULLED THIS INFO FROM THE ECO DIESEL SETTLEMENT WEBSITE. IN RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE, CUSTOMERS WERE TO GET (3) THINGS; (1) V08 SOFTWARE UPDATE; (2) MONEY, DEPENDENT ON YOUR OWNERSHIP STATUS; AND (3) A 10 WARRANTY EXTENSION. I HAD THE V08 SOFTWARE UPDATE COMPLETED AT THE END OF MAY, 2019. SINCE THAT UPDATE, MY VEHICLE HAS HAD POOR PERFORMANCE WITH LACK OF POWER AND ACCELERATION. WITHIN A WEEK OF HAVING THE UPDATE DONE, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE WARNING LIGHT ON AS WELL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FIXED THE ISSUE; HOWEVER, THE LACK OF ACCELERATION AND POWER REMAINED. THROUGH JUNE AND JULY THIS LACK OF POWER AND ACCELERATION CONTINUED. I THEN TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TOWARDS THE END OF JULY AND THEY OPENED A STAR REPORT AND TOLD ME THIS RECALL IS HAVING NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON A LOT PEOPLE'S VEHICLES. I THEN TOOK THE TRUCK BACK AND WAS DRIVING AT THE END OF JULY WHEN THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THIS TIME, THERE WAS A SMELL SIMILAR TO BURNING ELECTRICAL. I PULLED OVER AND THE WITHIN MINUTES THE TRUCK WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. FIRE PERSONAL WERE CALLED AND THE FIRE WAS PUT OUT, BUT NOT BEFORE IT ENGULFED THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND FRONT OF THE CABIN IN FLAMES. I FILED A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE AND CONTACTED FCA. BOTH PARTIES SENT FIRE INVESTIGATORS OUT TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. FCA SAYS, WITH THE INFO AT HAND, THE FIRE CAN'T BE ASSOCIATED WITH A MANUFACTURING OR ASSEMBLY ERROR. I ALSO CONTACTED THE CLASS ACTION ATTORNEYS AND SENT THEM INFORMATION FROM THE FIRE AS WELL.

LEFT FRONT CALIPER LOCKED UP AND STARTED SMOKING HEAVILY. VEHICLE HAS 30,000 MILES ON ODOMETER

MOTOR HAS BEEN UPDATED HAS NO POWER AND LOST MILEAGE. FROM 22 TO 17 MPG. TRANSMISSION DOES NOT DOWNSHIFTS AT STOP MAKING ACCELERATION SLOW.UNTILL GEARS SHIFT. PEDAL MUST BE ON FLOORBOARD.

LEAKING THRU THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ON ROOF, DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN, DEALER STATES HAS SEEN SEVERAL CASES OF THIS PROBLEM.

AFTER EMISSIONS UPDATE TRUCK HAS LOSS OF POWER WHEN MERGING IN TRAFFIC AND SOMETIMES WHEN PASSING SOMEONE TRUCK FEELS LIKE A SHIFTING HIGH AND LOW RAPIDLY.I TOOK TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THEY CANT FIND ANY CODES AND WAS TOLD IT HAS TO BE THE NEW SOFTWARE FROM DODGE AND THEY CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT.SO FAR I HAD 2 CLOSE CALLS WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON SOMETIMES AND IM USING MORE FUEL.TRUCK WAS RUNNING GREAT BEFORE THE EMISSIONS UPDATE

THE ENGINE AND FUEL LIGHTS TURN ON PLUS THE FUEL NEEDLE MOVED TO EMPTY, LIGHT COMES ON FLASHING FUEL SENSOR FAIL. THIS STARTED HAPPENING AT AROUND 45000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN TOLD I WILL HAVE TO DROP THE GAS TANK AND REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP. HAPPENS WHILE IDLING OR DRIVING THE TRUCK

AFTER THE FCA EMISSIONS UPDATE MY TRUCKS PERFORMANCE HAS CHANGED SO MUCH AS TO BECOME A DANGER TO ME AND MY FAMILY. THE TRUCK WILL NOT GO TO GET IN TRAFFIC AND I FEAR BEING T-BONED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. WHEN YOU GO TO EXECRATE THE TRUCK IS SLUGGISH AND IS VERY SLOW TO GO.

AFTER V-08 EMISSIONS RECALL ON RAM ECHO DIESEL TRUCK LOST HORSEPOWER AND GETTING LOWER FUEL MILEAGE. THE TRUCK BARELY HAS THE POWER TO MOVE ITSELF MUCH LESS ANY TOWING CAPABILITY. THE FUEL MILEAGE WENT FROM 20 MPG HIGHWAY TO 15 MPG HIGHWAY. HAVE HAD THE TRUCK BACK IN FOR SERVICE THREE TIMES WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. RAM IS TELLING ME THAT THERE IS NOT ANYTHING THEY CAN DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BECAUSE IT IS A GOVERNMENT RECALL. I DID NOT PURCHASE THIS TRUCK TO HAVE IT GET 15 MPG ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAVE NO HORSEPOWER TO TOW. THIS TRUCK IS USED AS A RANCH TRUCK, SO TOWING IS WHAT IT NEEDS TO BE DOING. MY ONLY OPTION NOW IS TO TRADE IT IN FOR A BIGGER TRUCK AT A FINANCIAL HIT ON MY WALLET. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD OF NEVER BEEN ALLOWED TO HAPPEN WITH THE RECALL OVERSITE. I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I HAVE TALKED WITH MANY OTHER TRUCK OWNERS AND THEY ALL ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I WOULD APRICATE A FIX TO THIS ISSUE BECAUSE PAYING $50,000.00 FOR A TRUCK ONLY TO HAVE A RECALL TAKE AWAY THE REASON IT WAS PURCHASED IS WRONG. A NEW TRUCK IS GOING TO COST AROUND $65,000.00 AND NOW THAT IT'S OUT THAT ALL RAM 1500 ECO DIESEL HAVE THIS PROBLEM OUR TRADE IN VALUE HAS DROPPED. I HAD A TRADE IN OFFER ON MY TRUCK LAST MONTH FOR $30,000.00 AND AS OF LAST WEEK IT DROPPED TO $21,000.00. SO AS YOU CAN TELL THIS RECALL IS AFFECTING A LOT OF PEOPLE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE.

I HAVE RECEIVED VARIOUS RECALL NOTICES ON THIS VEHICLE WHICH I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO THIS TO SEE IF THIS CAR QUALIFIES AS A LEMON. THESE ITEMS HAVE BEEN FIXED BY THE DIFFERENT DEALER SHIPS, BUT HAVE MORE THAN 5 RECALLS IS A BIT TOO MUCH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHEN THE ENGINE WAS COLD, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WOULD NOT RESPOND. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY EXCESSIVE PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO INCREASE THE SPEED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD JOLT AND THE TIRES SQUEALED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DISHMAN DODGE RAM CHRYSLER JEEP (7700 E SPRAGUE AVE, SPOKANE VALLEY, WA 99212), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS ADVISED TO CALL NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER AN UNSPECIFIED MANUFACTURER'S RECALL (EMISSION MODIFICATION), THE VEHICLE HESITATED AFTER A STOP. MT. ORAB CHRYSLER (937-453-3442, LOCATED AT 110 CABBARD WAY, MT. ORAB, OH 45154-7507) PERFORMED THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WOULD CONTACT THE DEALER; HOWEVER, THE DEALER COULD NOT BE REACHED. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE PERFORMED AS EXPECTED AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE RECALL REPAIR WAS TO ENABLE THE VEHICLE TO PASS EMISSIONS INSPECTION. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY COULD DO NOTHING MORE TO ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 143,000.

ECODIESEL - FOLLOWING RECALL AEM (APPROVED EMISSIONS MODIFICATION) UPDATE, THROTTLE RESPONSE IS EXTREMELY POOR AT TIMES. WHEN TURNING ONTO A ROADWAY FROM A STOP THE VEHICLE IS SOMETIMES VERY SLOW TO ACCELERATE, RISK OF COLLISION DUE TO BEING UNABLE TO INCREASE TO SAFE SPEED. WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE UNDER THIS CONDITION THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY ABRUPTLY ACCELERATE WHICH SOMETIMES RESULTS IN WHEEL SPIN (LOSS OF TRACTION). THIS HAPPENS IN DRY AND WET CONDITIONS.

METAL FRAGMENTS IN THE ENGINE AND I HAVE BEEN TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS FOR POWERTRAIN WARRANTY FOR REPEATED AND ONGOING REPAIRS SINCE FALL OF 2018 THE FIRST DEALERSHIP DID NOT REPLACE THE ENGINE WHEN THE METAL FRAGMENTS WERE FOUND IN MY ENGINE AFTER A CYLINDER MISFIRE 5 AND 7 THEY CONTINUED WITH ALL KINDS OF REPAIRS AND DID FURTHER DAMAGE TO MY ENTIRE TRUCK. I HAVE SINCE TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD AND GIVEN PROOF FOR MY VIN THAT I NEED AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT BUT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO DO IT BASED ON THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND STAND BEHIND THE INITIAL PROBLEM AND WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE (ENGINE MARK SERVICE MANAGER . THEY DECIDED TO CONTINUE WITH PART REPLACEMENT AFTER PART REPLACEMENT WHICH IS BILLED TO CHRYSLER UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY THAT I HAVE ON MY TRUCK. I BELIEVE THEY NOT ONLY LIED BUT COMMITTED FRAUD WITH ALL OF THESE REPAIRS. THEY COULD NOT EVEN STOP THE OIL FROM LEAKING EACH TIME THEY SENT MY VEHICLE HOME WITH ME. I TOOK IT TO BILLION IN BOZEMAN TO HAVE THEM LOOK OVER FOR DAMAGES AND SEE IF MY TRUCK WAS PROPERLY REPAIRED. I WAS TOLD THAT I SHOULD HAVE HAD AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT DUE TO METAL FRAGMENTS IN THE ENGINE OIL AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE REPAIRS. BUT BUTTE DECIDED TO MILK MY TRUCK AND CHRYSLER FOR HOURS AND HOURS AS WELL AS PARTS THAT WHO KNOWS IF THEY REALLY REPLACED THEM. THEY ALSO DAMAGED A HANDFUL OF THINGS ON MY TRUCK THAT HAD TO BE REPAIRED AT BILLION DODGE. I HAVE NEVER BEEN TREATED OR TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AS BUTTE MILE HIGH HAS DONE. IN TALKING TO OTHERS THAT KNOW VEHICLE ENGINE REPAIR THERE WERE PARTS THAT DO NOT BREAK THAT THEY CLAIMED BROKE, THEY ALSO STATED THEY HONED A CYLINDER WHICH WOULD HAVE REQUIRED THEM PULLING THE ENGINE AND PROPER HONING IS ALL CYLINDERS, NOT JUST ONE. THEY ALSO CUT PIECES OUT OF MY BASICALLY NEWER TRUCK (52,000) MILES AND LEFT DAMAGES.

RE: 2015 RAM 1500 PICKUP WITH 3.0 ECODIESEL ENGINE AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FOLLOWING THE V08 EMISSIONS RECALL, DRIVABILITY HAS BEEN SERIOUSLY REDUCED AND HAS CREATED DANGEROUS THROTTLE LAG AND IMPROPER AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION GEAR SELECTION. I WOULD SUMMARIZE THESE ISSUES AS TURBO LAG AND IMPROPER SHIFT MAPPING. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP THERE IS A 2-3 SECOND LAG BEFORE THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO MOVE EVEN IF THE THROTTLE IS FULLY DEPRESSED. IF YOU ARE EXECUTING A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN INTO TRAFFIC OR CROSSING AN INTERSECTION THIS WILL LEAVE YOU EXPOSED TO A "T-BONE" COLLISION. AFTER THIS LAG IT WILL THEN ACCELERATE RAPIDLY AT FULL THROTTLE, MUCH FASTER THAN YOU ARE EXPECTING. IF YOU ARE EXECUTING A TURN THIS COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OR A WIDER TURN THAN DESIRED, POSSIBLY INTO ANOTHER LANE OF TRAFFIC OR OFF THE FAR SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS BEHAVIOR IS EVEN MORE PRONOUNCED WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN RUN (COLD ENGINE). CLIMBING A MODERATE HILL SHORTLY AFTER PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY FORCES THE DRIVER TO MANUALLY DOWNSHIFT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION TO FIRST GEAR TO GET ANY FORWARD TRAVEL. AGAIN, THE VEHICLE WILL RAPIDLY ACCELERATE AFTER THE 2-3 SECOND LAG. ONCE RETURNING TO "DRIVE" AT 15-25 MPH THE TRANSMISSION WILL UP-SHIFT SEVERAL GEARS AND THEN BEGIN SLOWING, DROPPING ENGINE RPM TO 1,000, AGAIN FORCING A MANUAL DOWN-SHIFT TO SECOND OR THIRD GEAR TO MAINTAIN SPEED. THE ENGINE PRODUCES ALMOST NO POWER UNTIL THE ENGINE REACHES 2000 RPM. ALL OF THIS BEHAVIOR BEGAN AFTER THE NOTED RECALL. I HAVE CONTACTED A RAM DEALER REGARDING THIS PERFORMANCE AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT. THEY MENTIONED THAT THE FACTORY WAS AWARE OF THIS BUT HAS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. *JS

AFTER RECEIVING THE APPROVED EMISSION MODIFICATION RECALL UPDATE TO MY TRUCK, THE THROTTLE RESPONSE IS VERY VERY SLOW AND INCONSISTENT. PREDICTING WHETHER THE TRUCK WILL RESPOND TO YOUR INPUT EACH TIME YOU PRESS THE ACCELERATOR IS IMPOSSIBLE. THIS HAS PUT ME IN SOME DANGEROUS SITUATION PULLING INTO TRAFFIC OR MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY THE AEM RECALL WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO CHANGE THE PERFORMANCE OR MPG OF THE VEHICLE AND YET IT MADE A NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE TO BOTH.

EPA HAS REQUIRED AN AEM FLASH UPDATE FOR MY RAM ECODIESEL. THIS UPDATE HAS BECOME A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. DUE TO THE UPDATE, WHEN THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 160 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, THERE IS A 3-5 SECOND DELAY IN ACCELERATION. 0N 7/8/19, LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP FROM RECEIVING THE EPA REGULATED UPDATE, I HAD TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC. NOT KNOWING WHAT THE AEM UPDATE HAD DONE TO MY VEHICLE, I PULLED OUT OF THE LOT AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE. MY VEHICLE ROLLED INTO 3 OF THE 6 LANES OF TRAFFIC. I HAD THE PEDDLE AS FAR AS IT WOULD GO AND DURING THAT 3-5 SECONDS, MY VEHICLE WAS SLUGGISHLY GOING 4 MPH. ONCE THAT 3-5 SECONDS PASSED, THE VEHICLE THEN ACCELERATED RAPIDLY AS IT SHOULD WITH THE PEDDLE TO THE FLOOR. ONCE THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE GET OVER 160 DEGREES, THE DELAY DROPS FROM 3-5 SECONDS DOWN TO 1-3 SECONDS. I HAVE LEARNED TO NOT CHANCE ANYTHING PULLING IN TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THAT ONE DAY LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS LUCKY TO NOT HAVE BEEN INJURED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS SAFETY ISSUE IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

FOLLOWING THE EPA MANDATED REPROGRAMMING, THE VEHICLE SUFFERS THROTTLE LAG TO A DEGREE THAT IT IS UNSAFE. FROM A STOP, ESPECIALLY WHILE WARMING UP, A LAG OF 3 TO 5 SECONDS IS EXPERIENCED. SOMETIMES WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC, THE TRUCK WILL BEGIN TO MOVE, ONLY TO HESITATE AFTER IT'S ALREADY TOO FAR INTO THE INTERSECTION TO ABORT THE ACTION. THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED SINCE THE MANDATED REPROGRAMMING.

AFTER HAVING THE FCA APPROVED AEM RECALL ACCOMPLISHED, MY TRUCK COULD NO LONGER MAINTAIN SPEED UP HILL, WOULDN'T DOWNSHIFT PROPERLY, INCREASED DEF USAGE, DECREASED FUEL ECONOMY, EXTREMELY BAD TURBO LAG (3-5 SECONDS ON AVERAGE AND UP TO 10). TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS AN INTAKE MANIFOLD. THEY REPLACED THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND 2 INJECTORS. APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, WHILE DRIVING ON I-15 NORTHBOUND, MY TRUCK ENGINE CAUGHT ON FIRE AND MY TRUCK BURNED TO THE GROUND.

AT LOW SPEEDS, OR WHEN REVERSING, THE VEHICLES STEERING LOCKS UP, AND CANNOT BE TURNED. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER TURNING THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT, OR TO THE RIGHT.

RAM ECODIESEL AEM V08 FLASH: AFTER HAVING THIS FLASH PERFORMED ON MY 2015 RAM ECODIESEL AT A RAM DEALERSHIP AS PART OF THE SETTLEMENT WITH THE EPA, THERE IS A 3+ SECOND DELAY IN ACCELERATION FROM A STOP WHICH HAS CREATED A HAZARDOUS SITUATION WHEN AT INTERSECTIONS. ALSO, THERE IS A HESITATION WHEN TRYING TO MERGE IN FREEWAY TRAFFIC. THIS TURBO CHARGER LAG WAS NEVER AN ISSUE BEFORE THIS FLASH WAS PERFORMED ON MY TRUCK.

WHILE DRIVING 2,000 MILES FROM HOME, ON A HIGHWAY AT 65MPH IN MONTANA WHILE PULLING A CAMPER TRAILER, I GOT A MESSAGE TO IMMEDIATELY REPAIR MY AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM. I STOPPED, CHECKED OUT THE SYSTEM AND FOUND THE TRUCK WAS SITTING FLAT ON THE AXLE, CAUSING AN EXTREMELY ROUGH RIDE. OTHER PARTS OF THE TRUCK ARE SHAKING VIOLENTLY WHEN ROAD BUMPS ARE ENCOUNTERED. IN MY OPINION, IT IS NOT SAFE TO OPERATE THIS VEHICLE IN THIS CONDITION, BUT BEING SO FAR FROM HOME, I HAVE NO CHOICE. I READ ONLINE FORUMS AND LEARNED WHERE MANY HUNDREDS/THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AND THAT RAM KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM. I AM SEEKING A VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR THIS SYSTEM. COSTS TO THE CONSUMER HAVE BEEN REPORTED AS BEING ANYWHERE FROM $2,000 TO $7,000. FCA AND RAM TRUCKS NEED TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM BEFORE LIVES ARE LOST DUE TO LOSS OF CONTROL. I WILL BE CONTACTING OWNERS IN ALL ONLINE FORUMS REQUESTING THAT THEY FILE A COMPLAINT ON THIS ISSUE, TO ILLUSTRATE THE SEVERITY OF THE PROBLEM.

I HAD THE RECENT RECALL DONE ON MY ECODIESEL FOR THE EMISSIONS FAILURE ACCORDING TO THE EPA AND EVER SINCE IVE HAD THE RECALL IVE HAD ROUGHLY WHEN I START IT IN THE MORNING ABOUT A 4-5 SECOND SPEED DELAY OR PEDAL LAG EVEN IF I PUSH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. AFTER IT WARMS UP AND IVE BEEN DRIVING IT A WHILE IT IMPROVES BUT THE DELAY IS STILL THERE EVEN AFTER DRIVING FOR MY JOB, I'M A PILOT CAR DRIVER/ESCORT FOR OVERSIZED LOADS, AND AFTER DRIVING ALL DAY I STILL HAVE A 1-3 SECOND DELAY NO MATTER HOW HARD OR SOFT I PRESS THE PEDAL. IVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND BEST THEY TOLD ME IS EITHER FCA WILL HAVE TO COME OUT WITH AN UPDATE OR TO GO BUY A PEDAL COMMANDER OR SOMETHING SIMILAR TO IMMEDIATELY CORRECT THE ISSUE BUT COULD POSSIBLY VOID EVEN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I GOT WITH THE EMISSIONS RECALL. WHICH IF I HAD KNOWN ALL OF THIS I WOULD SAID TO HELL WITH THE ANY RECALLS. I FEEL THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE ME TO WRECK BY EITHER HESITATING BECAUSE I KNOW THERES THE LAG OR IM GOING TO PULL OUT AND NOT BE ABLE TO GET UP TO SPEED WITHIN A REASONABLE DISTANCE.

ON 7/29/19 AT APPROXIMATELY 12:30 PM, WAS TRAVELING BETWEEN 60 - 65 MPH, WEST BOUND ON INTERSTATE 40 AT N.C. MM 31, THE TRUCK LOST POWER (LIMP IN MODE), THE CHECK ENGINE & SERVICE AUTOMATIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM LIGHTS CAME ON. NOTICED A SMALL AMOUNT OF WHITE SMOKE EMITTING FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TRUCK. COASTED OFF OF THE INTERSTATE AND CAME TO REST IN A USED CAR DEALERSHIP'S PARKING LOT. TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND OPENED THE HOOD WHERE I FOUND AN APPROXIMATELY 8' FLAME PROJECTING FROM UNDER THE PLASTIC MANIFOLD COVER. DOUSED THE FLAME WITH A BOTTLE OF DRINKING WATER AND TOOK THE PLASTIC COVER OFF WHERE I FOUND THE WIRING HARNESS SHEATHING ENGULFED IN FLAMES. EXTINGUISHED THAT WITH AN ABC DRY CHEMICAL EXTINGUISHER. CURRENTLY THE TRUCK IS AT WAYNESVILLE RAM WITH NO UPDATES AS OF YET. HAD THE EGR RECALL COMPLETED ON 6/19/19 AT WAYNESVILLE RAM AND HAD NOTICED DECREASED POWER AND FUEL MILEAGE SINCE BUT THE DECREASES WERE MINOR AND JUST ACCEPTED AS FACT FROM THE RECALL. I AM VERY CONCERNED AT PRESENT AFTER RESEARCHING THIS SITUATION AND CONVERSING WITH OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED VERY SIMILAR EVENTS WITH THE SAME MOTOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE POWER STEERING SEIZED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE POWER STEERING RETURNED TO NORMAL, BUT CONTINUED TO FAIL INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. ED KOEHN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (11282 W CARSON CITY RD, GREENVILLE, MI 48838, (616) 754-3635) STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS VERY CLOSE TO BEING INCLUDED IN AN UNKNOWN OUTSTANDING RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

AFTER RECEIVING THE UPDATED ENGINE PROGRAMMING RECALL ON MY ECODIESEL RAM, THE THROTTLE RESPONSE IS DANGEROUSLY SLOW WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A DEAD STOP. THERE IS A SEVERAL SECOND DELAY FROM ME APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE THROTTLE PEDAL AND THE ENGINE REACTING AND ACCELERATING. IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO JUDGE WHEN TURNING INTO TRAFFIC BECAUSE OF THIS DELAY. COULD EASILY CAUSE SOMEONE TO BE REAR-ENDED BECAUSE THE TRUCK DOES NOT ACCELERATE AS EXPECTED. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE PRIOR TO THE RECALL.

RAM FLASHED THE COMPUTER ON MY TRUCK TO COMPLY WITH THE DIESEL EMISSIONS LAWSUIT. WHEN I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THE FLASH AND TRIED TO ENTER THE TRAFFIC LANE THE TRUCK BARELY RESPONDED TO THE THROTTLE. THERE WAS A HUGE DELAY AND IF NOT FOR A PULL OFF AREA I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. HOW THEY GOT THIS FLASH APPROVED MAKES ME WONDER WHAT IS GOING ON WITH PROVIDING SAFETY IN A VEHICLE. I CONSIDER WHAT THEY DID TO MY TRUCK CRIMINAL.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST, EXTRA STEERING EFFORT. VISIBLE RUST ON OUTSIDE OF CIRCUIT BOARD ON METAL COVER.

AFTER THE REFLASH OF ECU/TCM ON RAM ECO DIESEL FOR EMISSIONS THE TRUCK IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH EXCESSIVE TURBO LAG WHEN COLD. IT OFTEN HESITATED SEVERAL SECONDS BEFORE MOVING.

I RECENTLY HAD THE EMISSIONS REFLASH RECALL FOR MY 2015 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL. I WAS TOLD THIS WOULD NOT AFFECT DRIVEABILITY, FUEL MILEAGE, OR ENGINE PERFORMANCE. WELL, IT HAS AFFECTED ALL. MY FUEL MILAGE HAS DROPPED( USED TO GET AROUND 22 COMBINED, LUCKY TO GET 20 NOW). THE ENGINE IS LACKING POWER AND VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTS ON GRADES WHERE IT DIDNT BEFORE. THE TURBO IS ALSO LOUDER. I ASSUME THIS IS FROM THEM CHOKING DOWN THE VANES ON THE TURBO TO ACCOUNT FOR LESS FUEL BEING DELIVERED TO REACH THEIR EMISSION CLAIMS. MY BIGGEST CONCERN HAS TO DO WITH THE EXTREME LACK OF RESPONSE FROM A DEAD STOP. IT MAKES PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC A SAFETY CONCERN. YOU CAN LITERALLY PUT THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR BOARD AND THE TRUCK WILL BARELY MOVE THEN SUDDENLY IT WILL TAKE OFF. IT DOES THIS NO MATTER HOW MUCH THROTTLE IS BEING APPLIED IT HAS A DELAY.THIS VEHICLE IS NO WHERE NEAR WHAT IT WAS WHEN I PURCHASED IT. I FEEL THAT IF THIS REFLASH IS THE BEST SOLUTION TO THEM LYING ABOUT THEIR EMISSIONS TO BEGIN WITH, PERHAPS FIAT, CHRYSLER SHOULD BE BUYING THESE VEHICLES BACK INSTEAD OF MAKING MORE FALSE CLAIMS.

THE EMISSIONS RECALL V08 HAS MADE MY VEHICLE DANGEROUS TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC

TRUCK WAS RUNNING PERFECTLY WITH 43K MILES WHEN I BROUGHT MY TRUCK IN FOR EMISSIONS RECALL V08. THE NEW SOFTWARE HAS MADE MY TRUCK DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WHEN COLD, AND EVEN AFTER THE TRUCK HAS BEEN SITTING FOR AN HOUR. UNTIL FULLY AT OPERATING TEMP THERE IS A DANGEROUS THROTTLE LAG AND LOSS OF POWER WHICH AFFECTS ME WHEN I PULL INTO TRAFFIC AND ALSO WHILE TOWING MY TRAVEL TRAILER. THE TRUCK DOES NOT ACCELERATE, TRAVELING AT 2-5MPH WITH THE THROTTLE FLOORED CAUSING REAR ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO HAVE TO APPLY THE BRAKES. WHILE TOWING I CANT ACCELERATE MAKING MERGING INTO TRAFFIC UNSAFE. RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY VERIFIED ALL OF THE SYMPTOMS AND DID NOTHING BECAUSE FCA SAID THAT'S HOW IT RUNS NOW...BLAME THE EPA.

AFTER UPDATE TO RESOLVE THE EMISSIONS RECALL ISSUE (ECODIESEL SETTLEMENT), MY TRUCK HAS DANGEROUSLY POOR RESPONSE TO ACCELERATION. IT IS A LIFE SAFETY ISSUE. AFTER THE INITIAL UPDATE, I HAD TO BRING THE TRUCK IN A SECOND TIME BECAUSE THE EMISSIONS UPDATES RUINED THE EMISSIONS SENSORS. LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, I PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC ON A STATE HIGHWAY WITH PLENTY OF ROOM (AT LEAST 200 FEET) AND AFTER HITTING THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE STALLED FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 SECONDS BEFORE FINALLY RESPONDING, NEARLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME TO RUN INTO THE REAR. IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED, PEOPLE ARE GOING GET KILLED ON THE HIGHWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BETTEN BAKER CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF BIG RAPIDS (14061 NORTHLAND DR, BIG RAPIDS, MI 49307, (231) 796-2651) BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,586.

MY 2015 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL RECENTLY RECEIVED THE V08 RECALL. TWO WEEKS AFTER THE RECALL THE TRUCK BROKE DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ON JULY 01. THE TRUCK WAS IN THE SHOP UNTIL 07-19. I DROVE THE TRUCK HOME FROM THE SHOP AND DID NOT NOTICE EXTREME LAG AT THAT TIME. THE. I GOT I TO THE TRUCK AT THE DEALER THE TRUCK HAD BEEN IDLING AND WAS ALMOST TO OPERATION TEMPERATURE OF 200' FAHRENHEIT. THE NEXT MORNING UPON FIRST START UP I DROVE THE TRUCK AND WAS IMMEDIATELY ALMOST IN A ACCIDENT AS WHEN THE TRUCK WAS COLD WITH TEMPS BELOW 150' THERE WAS AN ALMOST 5 SECOND LAG FROM THEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED AND THE TRUCK WOULD ACCELERATE. THE TRUCK HAS SEVERE LAG UPON ACCELERATION AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE RELIABLY UNTIL THE TRUCK HAS WARMED UP TO ALMOST 200' WHICH TAKES ALMOST 15 MIN. THE DEALER HAS ADMITTED THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG BUT HAS NO WAY OF FIXING THE PROBLEM AS THE TRUCK IS NOT PRODUCING CODES TO AID IN DIAGNOSTICS. IN MY OPINION THE TRUCK IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY FIAT CHRYSLER.

AFTER RECIEVING FCA'S RECENTLY RELEASED RECALL FOR THE AEM EMISSIONS RECALL THE TRUCKS PERFORMANCE IS DANGEROUSLY ERRATIC. THERE ARE TIMES THE TRUCK WILL HARDLY MOVE FROM A STOP PULLING INTO CROSS TRAFFIC AND OTHER TIMES IT WILL ACCELERATE EXTREMELY HARD. THIS UNKNOWN MAKES IT DANGEROUS TO OPERATE IN A LOT OF CIRCUMSTANCES.

HAD THE A08 EMISSIONS SOFTWARE PUT ON MY TRUCK LAST WEEK AND IT LOST MOST OF ITS POWER. NOW WHEN I MERGE INTO TRAFFIC, I'M NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE SAFETY .. THERE IS A 5-6 SECOND LAG BEFORE I GET ANY ACCELERATION. THE TRUCK WAS FINE BEFORE THE RECALL, NOW IT LACKS ACCELERATION, POWER AND FUEL ECONOMY IS WORSE. THERE ARE NO ENGINE CODES SO RAM IS SAYING THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO .. I'M STUCK WITH A TRUCK THAT I'M AFRAID WILL GET ME INTO AN ACCIDENT.

EMISSIONS RECALL UPDATE INVOLVING V08 HAS FORCED MY TRUCK PERFORMANCE TO NOW CAUSE FOR CONCERN THE WAY I AM ABLE TO DRIVE MY TRUCK SAFELY. THE PEDAL RESPONSE IS TERRIBLE COMPARED TO THE "STOCK SOFTWARE" AND IS A SLOW REACTION UNTIL THE TRUCK IS "WARMED" UP TO ABOUT 150F DEGREES. BECAUSE THIS SOFTWARE UPDATE IS RELEASED IN THE SUMMER IT SHOULD TAKE LESS TIME TO WARM UP BUT LIVING IN MICHIGAN, THE TRUCK WILL TAKE A LOT LONGER TO WARM UP DURING THE WINTER MONTHS WHICH WILL A) NOT ALLOW ME TO DRIVE SAFELY THROUGH AN INTERSECTION ANY MORE AND B) FORCE OTHER DRIVERS TO HIT THEIR BRAKES DUE TO A LACK OF ACCELERATION MY TRUCK NOW HAS AND EITHER HIT ME OR HAVE THEM AVOID MY TRUCK CAUSING ACCIDENTS. THE LACK OF ACCELERATION OR "LAG" AS IT IS CALLED IS FOR ABOUT 2-4 SECONDS WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW THE TRUCK TO GAIN ANY SPEED WORTHY OF TRAVELING ONTO A ROAD WITH TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE ABLE TO "GET OUT OF IT'S OWN WAY" LIKE IT WAS BEFORE THE V08 WAS INSTALLED. ANOTHER ISSUE IS THAT ONCE THE TRUCK IS ABLE TO MOVE BECAUSE OF THE "LAG" GOING AWAY FINALLY THE ENGINE IS THEN OVER-REVVED AT AN UN-NORMAL RPM. THE ISSUE WITH THAT WILL BE IN THE WINTER TIME WHEN THERE IS ICE AND SNOW ON ROADS AND THE REAR WHEELS WILL SPIN ON THAT SLIPPERY SURFACE. THE MOST COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR THIS LAG IS AFTER START UP AND STARTING TO DRIVE MY TRUCK ONTO ROADWAYS OR ACROSS INTERSECTIONS. THE SCARIEST MOMENT WAS WHEN I HAD A VERY REASONABLE AMOUNT OF SPACE TO PULL OUT ONTO A ROADWAY, MAKING A LEFT TURN, FROM A STOP AND A SEMI TRUCK CAUGHT UP TO ME FROM THE RIGHT AND I WAS FORCED TO GO TO THE MIDDLE TURN LANE INSTEAD OF A DRIVE-ABLE LANE TO AVOID THE TRUCK BECAUSE MY ACCELERATION PERFORMANCE HAD DIMINISHED TO NOTHING FOR THE 2-4 SECONDS MEANWHILE MORE ONCOMING TRAFFIC IS HEADED TOWARDS ME AS WELL. THE TRUCK SEEMS TO GO INTO TRAFFIC FINE, BUT WILL NOT SPEED UP REGARDLESS OF PEDAL POSITION.

WHILE TURNING, STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS. THE STEERING ASSIST WENT OUT AND THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BE DANGEROUS SITUATION LEADING TO AN ACCIDENT.

SINCE HAVING THE EMISSION RECALL UPDATE INSTALLED, ACCELERATION HAS BEEN EXCESSIVELY REDUCED AT ENGINE TEMPERATURES BELOW 150 DEGREES. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE AT A SAFE LEVEL FROM A STOP. THIS HAS NEARLY CAUSED MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE UNEXPECTED SLOW ACCELERATION.

FCA REQUIRED V08 RECALL WAS COMPLETED AND THEIR AEM INSTALLED TO THE PCM/TCM. I PICKED MY TRUCK UP AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED IT WAS DOWN ON POWER. SINCE I HAVE LOST 4-5MPG AVERAGE OVER WHAT I WAS GETTING BEFORE THE AEM WAS INSTALLED. THE TRUCK IS OVERALL DOWN ON POWER SINCE THE AEM WAS INSTALLED. AS WELL THE TRUCK IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE UNTIL THE COOLANT TEMP REACHES AT LEAST 150 DEGREES F. THE TRUCK HAS NO POWER WHEN THE ENGINE IS BELOW 150F AND CAN'T GET OUT OF ITS OWN WAY AND LEAVES ME VULNERABLE TO A COLLISION DUE TO TURBO LAG AND LACK OF POWER. IF I PULL INTO TRAFFIC TO MERGE OR CROSS AN INTERSECTION MY FEAR IS I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY ENOUGH OR AVOID AN ACCIDENT SHOULD I NEED TO. I CANNOT ALLOW MY WIFE TO DRIVE THE TRUCK ANY LONGER DUE TO THE DANGERS AND LACK OF POWER.

SINCE APPLYING THE ECODIESEL SETTLEMENT ECU FLASH, MY VEHICLE IS DOWNRIGHT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. ESPECIALLY WHEN NOT FULLY WARMED UP, SHIFTING AND TURBO LAG MAKES THE VEHICLE NEARLY UNDRIVEABLE IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. THE GAS PEDAL HAS A HUGE LAG AND NON-LINEAR BEHAVIOR (PRESS TO FLOOR, NOTHING, THEN EVERYTHING ALL AT ONCE). SHIFTING, PASSING, FUEL ECONONY, AND DRIVEABILITY WERE HUGELY IMPACTED BY THEIR EMISSIONS UPDATE AND IT HAS MADE THIS EXPENSIVE TRUCK UNSAFE, BECAUSE IT IS UNPREDICTABLE BASED ON VEHICLE AND TRANSMISSION "WARMUP". WHEN COLD THE TRUCK IS UNSAFE.

I HAD RECALL V08 AND SOME OTHER RECALLS PERFORMED AT LOCAL RAM DEALER, THE EMISSIONS MODIFICATION HAS LEFT MY TRUCK VERY SLUGGISH (THROTTLE UNRESPONSIVE) WHEN ENGINE IS COLD. TWICE SINCE COMPUTER WAS FLASHED I HAVE PULLED OUT TO CROSS TRAFFIC AND TRUCK WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AS IT DID PRIOR TO FLASH. I WAS TOLD THE FLASH WOULD NOT CHANGE PERFORMANCE AND MILEAGE BUT BOTH HAVE BEEN AFFECTED. I AM ALSO USING CONSIDERABLE MORE DEF FLUID. BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE LACK OF THROTTLE RESPONSE WHEN ENGINE IS COLD, I TEND TO FORGET AND PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND THEN IT GETS QUITE SCARY, I BELIEVE THIS COULD LEAD TO ACCIDENT. THIS RECALL WAS PART OF A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT AGAINST FCA, BUT THE LITTLE BIT OF MONEY I WAS OFFERED DOES NOT HELP ME IF I'M HURT OR KILLED DRIVING THE TRUCK.

ENGINE COIL FAILURE AFTER 60,000 MILES. THIS PART SHOULD BE ENGINEERED TO LAST OVER 100,000 MILES. IT CAUSES THE MOTOR TO STALL WHEN ACCELERATING ONTO THE HIGHWAY.

UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION FOLLOWED BY INABILITY TO STOP OR STEER OR LIMIT ACCELERATION. SECOND ACCIDENT, SAME VEHICLE, IDENTICAL PROBLEM.

AFTER I HAD THE AEM INSTALLED ON MY DODGE RAM ECODIESEL THE TRUCK WOULD LOOSE POWER WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC FROM A COMPLETE STOP. ON THURSDAY JULY 11 2019 I WAS PULLING INTO TRAFFIC FROM A STOP SIGN AND THE TRUCK STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD! I WAS ALMOST HIT BY THE CROSS TRAFFIC. I CURRENTLY HAVE MY TRUCK AT THE DEALERSHIP, HOWEVER I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS TO THE SAME PROBLEM OTHERS ARE HAVING. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK AND I AM HOPING THE FCA CAN MAKE DODGE COME UP WITH A FIX FOR THIS ISSUE OR LEMON LAW THESE VEHICLES AS THEY ARE DANGEROUS TO THE PERSON DRIVING AND THE OTHERS ON THE ROAD!

HAD THE ECM MODIFICATION DONE PURSUANT TO THE EMISSIONS SETTLEMENT BETWEEN FIAT CHRYSLER AND THE EPA. VEHICLE HAS BECOME A TERRIBLE SLUG WITH HORRIBLE ACCELERATION, AND I HAVE NOW HAD NUMEROUS INCIDENTS WHERE IT WON'T ACCELERATE QUICKLY ENOUGH TO MAKE A LEFT TURN WITHOUT SCARING ME FOR FEAR OF GETTING T-BONED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SIMILAR PROBLEMS MERGING INTO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC; IT JUST WON'T GET THE JOB DONE. IT IS CLEARLY NOT THE VEHICLE I PURCHASED NOR THE VEHICLE IT WAS BEFORE THIS SOFTWARE "DOWNGRADE".

LOSS OF POWER STEERING TURNING ON TO A MAJOR HWY. I TURNED RIGHT & HAD TO IMMEDIATELY TURN BACK LEFT WHILE SWERVING INTO THE OTHER LANE OF TRAFFIC.

WHY MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT IN THE NHTSA DATA BASE REGARDING THE RAM 1500 PICK UP RECALL FOR 2014-2016 VEHICLES? INVOLVING MAJORITY OF THE DRIVE TRAIN, EXHAUST, EVC, AND AIR INTAKE.

I OWN A 2015 RAM 1500, WHICH I PURCHASED NEW IN AUGUST OF 2015. THIS VEHICLE HAS THE ECODIESEL ENGINE AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. THIS SAME ENGINE WAS THE TOPIC OF A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT FILED AGAINST FIAT/CHRYSLER. THE AGREEMENTS IN THE SETTLEMENT OF THAT SUIT REQUIRES RAM DEALERS TO UPDATE THE ENGINE SOFTWARE SO THAT IT WILL MEET THE ORIGINAL EMISSIONS SPECS. THE UPDATE IS ALSO NOT SUPPOSED TO EFFECT DRIVABILITY. MY TRUCK WAS UPDATED WITH THE V08 RECALL FOR THIS PURPOSE. SINCE THIS UPDATE, WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD, THE TRUCK HAS A VERY LONG DELAY (4~7 SECONDS) BEFORE IT STARTS TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP. THE ENGINE THEN ACCELERATES VERY SLOWLY. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. ONCE THE ENGINE COMES TO FULL OPERATING TEMPERATURE, IT COMES CLOSE TO ORIGINAL PERFORMANCE, BUT IT NEVER PERFORMS AS IT DID BEFORE THE RECALL WAS DONE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT MY LOCAL RAM DEALER HAS VERIFIED THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH ANY PART ON THE ENGINE, AND THE PROBLEM IS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE V08 RECALL. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND EXHIBITED NO PROBLEMS PRIOR TO THIS RECALL. THE SETTLEMENT REQUIRED THAT THE UPDATE DID NOT EFFECT DRIVABILITY, BUT IT DID SO IN A DANGEROUS MANNER.

FCA ISSUED A RECALL FOR ECODIESEL RAMS AFTER AN EMISSIONS LAWSUIT. THE AEM UPDATE WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO AFFECT VEHICLE PERFORMANCE OR MPG. IT DOES. NOW, AFTER GETTING THE UPDATE, THE TRUCK IS UNPREDICTABLE IN HOW IT DRIVES IN REGARDS TO ACCELERATION. THIS CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN PULLING OUT ONTO ROADS WITH TRAFFIC/CROSS TRAFFIC - SOMETIMES IT WILL ACCELERATE VERY SLOWLY AND ALMOST GET HIT, OTHER TIMES IT IS FINE. ASIDE FROM THE NON SAFETY ISSUES RELATED TO FCA'S EMISSION UPDATE (DROP IN MPG FROM 29MPG TO 20MPG), IT HAS CREATED AN UNPREDICTABLE DRIVING SITUATION WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE ENGINE. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THESE ISSUES TOO. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

TL- CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE RAM 1500; CONTACT STATED CHECK ENGINE ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING 75 MPG AND FUEL GAUGE RETURNED TO EMPTY. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED BY DEALER (LARRY H. MILLER DODGE RAM TUCSON, 4220 E 22ND ST, TUCSON, AZ 85711), (520) 395-9311). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT BEEN CONTACTED . FAILURE MILEAGE 42583. EP

I HAD THE REQUIRED AEM UPDATE DONE 6/18. THIS IS FOR THE ECO DIESEL EMISSION SETTLEMENT. SINCE THIS WAS DONE IT IS A DIFFERENT TRUCK. WHEN COLD, THROTTLE DELAY IS SIGNIFICANT. ITS DANGEROUS AS YOU CAN'T GET MOVING WITHOUT FLOORING IT! IT GETS BETTER AS IT WARMS UP BUT STILL FEELS LETHARGIC AND FUEL CONSUMPTION IS WORSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE VEERED OFF THE ROAD AND CRASHED INTO A SMALL DITCH. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART AND WAS TOWED TO PEACOCK CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM FIAT (265 DRIVERS WAY A, HARDEEVILLE, SC 29927, (843) 208-1200). THE DEALER STATED THAT AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE PREVENTED THE VEHICLE FROM RESTARTING. ALSO, THE TIE ROD WAS FRACTURED AND REPAIRED BY THE CONTACT. THE DEALER QUOTED A REPAIR COST OF $2,500 FOR THE POWER STEERING MODULATOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING IS NOT WORKING. NO CODES, VERY HARD TO STEER AND STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT CORRECT ITSELF STRAIGHT AFTER TURNING A CORNER.

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. DEALERSHIP SAYS I NEED TO REPLACE THE RACK. MY VEHICLE HAS 38,000 MILES ON IT. NO VEHICLE SHOULD NEED A NEW RACK AT 38,000 MILES. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THE POWER STEERING CAN GO OUT AT ANY TIME.

I HAD THE RECALL DONE ( V 08 ) , NOW THE THROTTLE RESPONSE IS TERRIBLE AND THE FUEL MILEAGE HAS DROPPED BY TWO MPG IN TOWN AND TWO AND A HALF MPG ON THE HIGHWAY . YOU DON'T WANT TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC UNLESS YOU HAVE A LOT ROOM BECAUSE OF SEVERE THROTTLE LAG , IT WILL LAG AND THEN TAKE OFF LIKE A ROCKET , BUT YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN , ALSO DOWNSHIFTS ON HILLS THAT IT NEVER USED TO BEFORE . I WISH I WOULD NEVER HAD THE RECALL DONE !!!!!!!!!!!!

I HAVE THE RAM ECODIESEL 2015 MODEL. IT ALWAYS HAD A SLIGHT HESITATION IN THE ACCELERATOR WHICH I CONSIDER NORMAL. AFTER HAVING THE SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THE EMISSIONS STANDARDS I NOW HAVE A 3-5 SECOND DELAY IN ACCELERATION WHICH HAS CAUSED ME SEVERAL TIMES TO ALMOST BE INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS

MY TRUCK WAS INVOLVED IN THE EPA LAWSUIT AGAINST FCA FOR THE ECODIESEL. THE SETTLEMENT INVOLVED ME TAKING THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A SOFTWARE CHANGE. UNDER THE AGREEMENT IT WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO AFFECT THE DRIVABILITY OF THE TRUCK. AFTER THE SOFTWARE CHANGE MY TRUCK WILL NOT ACCELERATE. I WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND PULLED INTO TRAFFIC AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT ACCELERATE I CONTACTED FCA AND OPENED A CASE. I WAS TOLD THEY KNOW OF THE PROBLEM AND DO NOT HAVE A FIX. I NOW HAVE A TRUCK I CAN NOT PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC WITH. I JUST DON'T WANT ANYONE GETTING KILLED OR INJURED BECAUSE THEY DID NOT TEST THE UPDATE. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN HELP ME, BUT MAYBE YOU CAN POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THANKS

HAD V08 RECALL DONE AND LOST APPROX 5MPG AND WHEN LEAVING A STOP SIGN AT TIMES CANNOT GET TO MOVE VERY SLUGGISH AND A LOT OF THROTTLE LAG DEALER STATES NOTHING IS WRONG ALONG WITH FCA BUT THE TRUCK DID NOT DO THIS PRIOR TO V08 RECALL

POST AEM UPDATE THERE IS A SEVERE LAG IN THROTTLE RESPONSE. AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP/RECALL UPDATE I ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE SLOW RESPONSE AFTER PRESSING THE THROTTLE TO THE FLOOR. THE TRUCK JUST SAT THERE FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE SLOWLY MOVING. WHEN TRYING TO GET UP TO SPEED TO MERGE ONTO INTERSTATE, PRE RECALL UPDATE, THE TRUCK WAS QUICK TO SHIFT AND GAIN SPEED. TODAY IT HAD A HARD TIME GETTING UP TO 65, EVEN WHEN ACCELERATOR PUSHED TO THE FLOOR. I WAS VERY NERVOUS THAT THE SEMI TRUCK COMING UP BEHIND ME WAS GOING TO REAR ENDED ME. IT SEEMS AS IF THE RECALL UPDATE BOTH CHANGED RESPONSE TIME IN ACCELERATION AND THE SHIFTING PATTERNS OF THE TRUCK. BOTH OF WHICH HAVE MADE MY TRUCK UNRELIABLE AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THE RECALL UPDATE WAS PERFORMED YESTERDAY, JULY 2. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH ACCELERATION PREVIOUSLY. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP, WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FCA CASE # 59112985. THRU WILL 'LOOK INTO IT'. I HAVE READ IN A NUMBER OF FORUMS THAT I AM NOT ALONE WITH THIS COMPLAINT. THERE ARE NOW A NUMBER OF PEOPLE DRIVING VEHICLES THAT SUDDENLY DO NOT PREFORM AS THEY ONCE DID. WHEN YOU ARE USED TO A VEHICLE TO HAVE SOME GET UP AND GO WHEN ACCELERATING YOU DRIVE IT AS SUCH, THEN SUDDENLY YOU FIND THAT YOUR GET UP AND GO, UP AND LEFT, TOO LATE CAUSING YOU TO BE A SLOW MOVING/DELAYED DANGER TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS.

2015 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL MILEAGE: ~97,000 DATE OF INCIDENT: 03/24/2019 COMPLAINT: ENGINE FIRE. LOCATION: TWO LANE STATE HIGHWAY (IN MOTION) SPEED: 55-60 TOWING: BOAT (~3000 LBS) SOURCE OF FIRE: FUEL INJECTOR (STATED BY RAM CERTIFIED DIESEL MECHANIC) RAM WARRANTY CLAIM: DENIED BY WHAT FIAT CHRYSLER CALLED "LEGAL" (MY TRUCK WAS STILL WITHIN THE 100,000 MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY) OUTCOME: UTILIZED MY INSURANCE (ALLSTATE). ALLSTATE DOES NOT COVER THE SOURCE OF FIRE THUS, YOU WILL NOT SEE THE COST OF THE "FUEL INJECTOR" ON THE INSURANCE CLAIM DOCUMENT. SUBMIT DOCUMENT: INSURANCE CLAIM DOCUMENT INCLUDED.

AFTER GETTING THE MOST RECENT 'V08' RECALL ON MY 2015 RAM ECO DIESEL I'VE SINCE HAD EXTREME LAG ON THE TRUCK WHEN TAKING OFF. THIS MAKE IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. THIS WAS NOT AN ISSUE BEFORE THE UPDATE.

AFTER COMPLETING THE APPROVED EMISSIONS MODIFICATION, PER THE FCA-EPA LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT, I'VE NOTICED SUBSTANTIAL TURBO LAG AND SHIFTING ISSUES (HOLDING GEAR TOO LONG). THIS IS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT ONTO STREETS OR EXPRESSWAYS WHERE I NEED TO ACCELERATE UP TO SPEED QUICKLY. THERE IS A 3-5 SECOND LAG BEFORE THE TURBO BEGINS SPOOLING AND MY TRUCK BEGINS ACCELERATING.

AFTER THE EMISSIONS RECALL FLASH OF THE ECM ON THE ECODIESEL RAM 1500S THE TRUCK DOES NOT ACCELERATE FROM A STOP CAUSING DANGEROUS SITUATIONS WHEN PULLING OUT ON TO ROADS. AFTER THE ECM FLASH THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS TIMES I HAVE ALMOST BEEN T-BONED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ON TO STREETS. YOU HIT THE ACCELERATOR AND THE TRUCK CREEPS ALONG FOR A GOOD 4 OR TO 8 SECONDS THEN IT WILL ACCELERATE.

MY 2015 RAM ECODIESEL IS PART OF THE FCA RECALL FOR EMMISIONS. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE I NOTICED A DECLINE IN PERFORMANCE. THE VEHICLE HAS A SEVERE LAG IN ACCELERATION. I DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR TWO WEEKS BEFORE IT WENT BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM CHECK IT. THEY TOLD ME THE VEHICLE IS PERFORMING AS DESIGNED. YESTERDAY I DROVE THE VEHICLE WITH A LOAD IN THE BED 2 TIMES. IT IS MY OPINION THAT MY 2015 RAM ECODIESEL IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH ANY TYPE OF LOAD IN THE BED OR ON A TRAILER. THERE ARE TIMES WHERE IT HAS NO ACCELERATION AT ALL FOR WHAT SEEMS LIKE A LONE TIME. PROBABLY 3-5 SECONDS BEFORE THE VEHICLE RESPONDS. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FCA BUT ALL THEY DID WAS CALL THE DEALER AND REPEATED TO ME THAT THE VEHICLE PERFORMED AS DESIGNED. ALL I AM ASKING THEM FOR IS TO MAKE MY VEHICLE OPERATE AS IT DID BEFORE THE EMISSIONS RECALL. MY MPG HAS DROPPED DRASTICALLY AND THE TRUCK DOES NOT ACCELERATE OR SHIFT AS IT DID. THIS HAS RESULTED IN SEVERE LAG WHEN PULLING OUT IN TO TRAFFIC, DRIVING UP HILLS AND EVEN STARTING FROM A DEAD STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN.

I RECENTLY HAD THE AEM RECALL UPDATE DONE ON MY 2015 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL AND NOW MY TRUCK'S PERFORMANCE AND FUEL MILEAGE HAS REALLY SUFFERED. LOST ABOUT 3 MPG AND THE TRUCK IS VERY SLUGGISH NOW. IT MAKES IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. IT JUST BARELY MOVES WHEN YOU PRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO MERGE INTO THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ROUGH AND REVS THE ENGINE HIGHER BEFORE CHANGING GEARS. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE RECALL AND FCA FOR MAKING A GOOD RUNNING TRUCK INTO A DANGEROUS TO DRIVE PIECE OF JUNIK!

JUST HAD THE ECODIESEL EMISSION SOFTWARE UPDATE COMPLETED AND TRUCK DOES NOT PERFORM NEAR WHERE IT HAD BEEN. IT WAS NEVER A ROCKET BUT IT WAS BETTER THAN IT IS NOW. SLUGGISH FROM STANDSTILL, ESPECIALLY WHEN COLD. HESITATION WHEN SHIFTING. DOWNSHIFTS MORE OFTEN AND SOONER. I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK SINCE NEW AND IT HAS HAD ZERO MODIFICATIONS. THIS ISSUES I DESCRIBED ABOVE WERE NOT THERE BEFORE THE UPDATE. THERE WILL BE SOME ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY THE SOFTWARE.

MY 2015 RAM HAS ALMOST 32,000 MILES . THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON YESTERDAY AFTER FILLING UP MY TANK. IT THROWS A CODE FUEL SENSOR FAIL AND FUEL LOW. THE FUEL GUAGE IS ON EMPTY WITH 3\4 FULL TANK. IT HAPPENS WHILE YOUR DRIVING OR STANDING STILL IDDLING.

THIS VEHICLE WAS ASSOCIATED WITH AN EMISSIONS RECALL FOR ITS 3.0 LITER ECODIESEL ENGINE. AN AEM 'FLASH' WAS DONE TO THE ECM MODULE, AND AFTER THAT WAS PERFORMED (AS PART OF THE EMISSIONS RECALL) THE ENGINE'S ACCELERATION - PREVIOUSLY VERY RESPONSIVE - IS DANGEROUSLY LACKING. THERE IS A 2-4 SECOND HESITATION AND TERRIBLE RESPONSE AND TURBO-LAG, AND I'VE VERY NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHEN SIMPLY TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC ACROSS ON-COMING TRAFFIC LANES. THE RESPONSE FROM A DEAD STOP IS DANGEROUSLY SLOW. IT'S ALMOST AS IF IT'S GONE INTO 'LIMP' MODE - WHICH TOTALLY DISABLES THE TURBO. ALSO - EVEN WHEN MOVING - IF TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO PASS OR MOVE OVER, THE RESPONSE IS AGONIZINGLY SLOW.

ENGINE FIRE ON 2015 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL. LOSS OF ENGINE POWER, BUT STILL RUNNING, AT FREEWAY SPEED. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR INDICATORS. PULLED TO SIDE OF THE ROAD AS "ELECTRONIC THROTTLE POSITION FAILURE" APPEARED ON INFO SCREEN. PULLED OVER AND OPENED THE HOOD. THERE WERE FLAMES COMING FROM THE BACK OF THE ENGINE. COMPLETE LOSS.

I HAD PREVIOUSLY FILED A COMPLAINT IN REGARDS TO THE EFFECT OF THE AEM (V08) ECODIESEL CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT RECALL. THE NUMBER OF THE PREVIOUS COMPLAINT IS: 11210536. IN ADDITION TO WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED AS DANGEROUS/SAFETY RELATED, THE VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AFTER A COLD START, ALTHOUGH APPARENTLY RUNNING SMOOTHLY, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, WILL NOT. A TURTLE COULD OUT RUN THE VEHICLE. IT TAKES OVER 5 MINUTES OF DRIVING TO GET A MORE REASONABLE ACCELERATION. AGAIN, REGARDLESS OF A COLD START, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE AFTER NORMAL DRIVING, THEN SLOWING, AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. IT TAKES SEVERAL SECONDS FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO DOWNSHIFT AND FOR THE TURBO LAG TO GO AWAY - VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TURNING IN FRONT OF OR MERGING WITH TRAFFIC.

THE RECENT ECODIESEL RECALL WAS PERFORMED. AS I PULLED OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP THE TRUCK STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A FOUR LANE ROAD LIKE THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED. THE NEXT DAY THE TRUCK LITERALLY STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE RPMS GOES UP TO OVER 5000 THEN THE TRUCK SLOWLY GAINS POWER. I PULLED BACK INTO THE LOT AND PRESSED THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR FROM A DEAD STOP AND THE SAME THING. WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE ONLY COMPLAINT SO FAR WAS A LOSS IN MPG. ON THE ECODIESELRAM. COM FORUM SEVERAL OTHER ECODIESEL OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS ISSUE IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED!

"AEM RECALL" FOLLOWING THE AEM RECALL ON THE DODGE RAM ECODIESEL, VEHICLE EXPERIENCES DEAD SPOTS IN IT ACCELERATION. PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, EVEN TO THE FLOOR, PROVIDES NO INPUT TO THE TRUCK FOR 3-5 SECONDS. THIS ISSUE HAS PLACED MYSELF AND MY FAMILY IN DANGER IN MULTIPLE INTERSECTIONS AND IN MERGING TRAFFIC. VEHICLE HAS ALSO EXPERIENCED DEMINISHED FUEL MILEAGE OF OVER 3MPG. FCA SPECIFICALLY STATES THE FOLLOWING: "THE AEM IS NOT EXPECTED TO CHANGE ANY OF YOUR KEY VEHICLE ATTRIBUTES, SUCH AS AVERAGE FUEL ECONOMY, RELIABILITY, DURABILITY, VEHICLE PERFORMANCE, DRIVABILITY, ENGINE NOISE OR VIBRATION, OR OTHER DRIVING CHARACTERISTICS. CLICK HERE TO READ THE COURT APPROVED NOTICE THAT INCLUDES IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL DETAILS ABOUT THE EFFECT OF THE AEM ON YOUR VEHICLE." ALMOST ALL OF THE VEHICLE CHARACTERISTICS LISTED ARE AFFECTED IN A NEGATIVE WAY. IN DOING SO, FCA IS PLACING ALL ECODIESEL OWNERS AT RISK.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE AND FUEL LIGHTS TURN ON PLUS THE FUEL NEEDLE MOVED TO EMPTY KNOWING I JUST FILLED UP ONE DAY EARLIER. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND OUT IT WAS THE FUEL SENSOR. OTHER DODGE OWNERS ALSO EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AFTER THE VEHICLE MILEAGE REACHED 60,000 OR OVER. MINE TURNED ON AT 63K. MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO FIX IT TUESDAY JUNE 18, 2019 AFTER I SAW A REVIEW IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE WHILE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING FAILED INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT LOWER SPEEDS WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS MAKING TURNS, WHICH INCREASED THE RISK OF A CRASH. REAGLE DODGE RAM (1223 BLUE VALLEY DR, PEN ARGYL, PA 18072, (610) 863-6900) DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM WAS FAILING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA AND THE LOCAL DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

POWER STEERING IS INTERMITTENT AND QUITS ASSISTING DURING TURNS. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS WHILE IN MOTION ON ALL TYPES OF ROADS.

TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR A RECALL REFLASH OF A CONTROLLER. TWO WEEKS LATER, AT 58MPH, WITHOUT WARNING DASHBOARD LITE UP NUMEROUS SYMBOLS/CODES AND ENGINE SHUTOFF, LOSING POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. I STEERED VEHICLE ONTO SIDE OF ROAD, AND ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART. TOOK FIRST DEALERSHIP 4 WEEKS TO DIAGNOSIS A CRANK POSITION TONE WHEEL, AND SENSOR FAILURE. VEHICLE WAS RETURNED THEN 2 WEEKS LATER, WHILE REFUELING AT A GAS STATION SAME FAILURE OCCURRED WITH DIESEL ENGINE STOPPAGE, AND NO RESTART. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SECOND CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN SECOND DEALERSHIP FOR 11 WEEKS, "UNDERGOING DIAGNOSIS". AS OF 6/6/2019, NO SOLUTION FOUND. FRANKLY, I DO NOT BELIEVE THEY HAVE A CLUE WHAT IS CAUSING THE RANDOM ENGINE SHUT OFF, NOR HOW TO REPAIR IT. THIS IS WHAT MAKES IT SUCH A FRIGHTENING DEFECT. IT APPEARS RANDOM, WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING UNTIL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP AND INSTANTANEOUSLY THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WITH MY TWO CHILDREN AROUND, WHEN IT COULD STALL AT ANY TIME AT ANY SPEED? I'VE BEEN LUCKY TWICE. ONCE AT 58MPH ON A TWO LANE ROAD, ONCE STATIONARY. WHAT IF IT FAILS MERGING ON TO AN EXPRESSWAY, OR CROSSING A RAILROAD TRACK? *TR

AFTER MANDATED "REPROGRAMMING" FOR THE ECODIESEL SETTLEMENT ON MAY 29TH, TRUCK DOES NOT ACCELERATE FROM STANDING START, TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED TO ENGAGE. HAVE TO TURN TRUCK OFF AND RESTART AND HOPE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES IN DRIVE.

I AM HAVING INTERMITTENT EPISODES WHERE IT IS HARD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. IT FEELS LIKE WHEN A VEHICLE IS LOW ON POWER STEERING FLUID BUT THIS VEHICLE DOESN'T HAVE A POWER STEERING PUMP.

AFTER CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT OF ECODIESEL AND AFTER AEM INSTALLED (MODIFICATION OF ECM AND TCM FOR EMISSIONS) THERE IS A SUBSTANTIAL LAG (TURBO, TRANSMISSION) THAT RESULTS IN THE VEHICLE NOT ACCELERATING- LIKE YOUR DEAD IN THE WATER. WHEN PULLING INTO A BUSY LANE OF TRAFFIC IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE.

MY RAM 1500 WAS TAKEN TO DEALER BECAUSE OF THE "RECALL U07 DX 8-SPEED ROTARY." AS I PULLED OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP I HAD NO POWER FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 SECONDS. I DROVE THE TRUCK 5 MILES, STILL HAVING "LAG TIME" WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY INFORMED ME THEY HAD TO "REGENERATE" THE RECALL. THEY DID SO, BUT THE RESULT WAS STILL "LAG TIME." THEY THEN INFORMED ME IT WOULD TAKE "TIME" FOR THE MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION "COMPUTERS" TO SYNCHRONIZE. I HAVE DRIVEN THE RAM OVER 100 MILES AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. THE PROBLEM WAS DOCUMENTED BY MR.DARREN LINDEMANN AT "CORWIN DODGE RAM" IN SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI. 417-862-9272

I'VE HAD A WOBBLE/SHIMMY IN THE REAR END OF THE TRUCK FROM THE START. HAVE ALIGNED, BALANCED AND ROTATED TIRES AND NOW NEW TIRES. TRUCK REAR END WOBBLES AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50 MPH. DODGE DEALERSHIP SAYS NO PROBLEMS WITH TRUCK AND NO RECALLS ARE AVAILABLE. I SEE INFORMATION OUT ON THE WEB OF OTHER OWNERS AND SAME PROBLEMS.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON IN MANY DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP TRUCKS. INDICATING THERE IS A FUEL SENSOR PROBLEM. IF YOU USE THE REMOTE START THE ENGINE IT AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS DOWN WITHIN 15 SECONDS AS IF YOU HAVE NO FUEL. DEALERSHIPS ARE CHARGING $1,000.00 TO FIX A WIDESPREAD MANUFACTURING ISSUE. FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY WHEN DRIVING WHEN TANK IS FULL AND THEN RETURNS TO CORRECT READING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE OEPRATING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD ABNORMAL RATTLING SOUND COMING FROM THE EXHAUST. THE CONTACT OBSERVED THE EXHAUST AND NOTICED THAT THE BOLTS THAT SECURED THE EXHAUST WERE LOOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE RESULTS WERE NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,300. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, FOLLOWED SHORTLY BY A 'SERVICE DEF SYSTEM ' SEE DEALER' DISPLAY ON THE DASH. I WAS 300+ MILES FROM HOME ON A BUSINESS TRIP, SO I WASN'T ABLE TO GET IT TO MY DEALERSHIP QUICKLY. I CALLED A FEW DEALERSHIPS IN THE AREA (CENTRAL MICHIGAN), BUT NONE OF THEM WERE GOING TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT IT FOR AT LEAST 4-5 DAYS. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 50 MILES OR SO TOWARD HOME, THE DISPLAY CHANGED TO 'SERVICE DEF SYSTEM ' ENGINE WILL NOT RESTART IN 200 MILES). I WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALER THAT IT WOULD CONTINUE RUNNING AS LONG AS I DID NOT SHUT IT OFF, SO I DROVE IT BACK TO MY HOMETOWN AND DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ISSUE WAS THAT THE 3 BOLTS BETWEEN THE DIESEL PARTICULAR FILTER AND THE SCR HAD SHEARED. WITH EXHAUST COMING OUT OF THAT FLANGE, THE DEF INJECTOR, DEF INJECTOR CONNECTOR, AND THE DEF SUPPLY LINE MELTED. REGRETTABLY, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY MELTED RESULTING IN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON OR IF THEY MELTED AFTER THE LIGHT CAME ON, BUT I WOULD SUSPECT THAT THEY WERE ALREADY DAMAGED PRIOR TO THE LIGHT COMING ON AND IT WAS THE DAMAGE THAT CAUSE THE LIGHT TO COME ON. THE LOCAL DEALER (LEMAN RAM) TOLD ME THAT IT WAS MY FAULT THAT THOSE ITEMS MELTED BECAUSE I DROVE THE TRUCK WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I ASKED WHAT I SHOULD HAVE DONE SINCE I WAS NOWHERE NEAR HOME AND COULD NOT GET MY VEHICLE SERVICED, BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE AN ANSWER. MY CONTENTION IS THAT THE BOLTS BETWEEN THE PARTICULATE FILTER AND THE SCR SHOULD NOT HAVE SHEARED. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A DEFECT / DESIGN FLAW AND EITHER WAY, THIS IS WHAT LED TO THE DAMAGE TO THE DEF SYSTEM. SO BASICALLY, A DESIGN DEFECT THAT RESULTED IN THE BOLTS SHEARING AND CAUSING DAMAGE ELSEWHERE WAS BLAMED ON ME AND RESULTED IN ME SPENDING $1,168. THE IS A 2015 RAM ECODIESEL WITH 153,039 MILES.

MAKING THE 12 MILE TRIP TO WORK WHEN AT MILE 10 MY TRUCK EXPERIENCED A DECREASE IN POWER FOLLOWED BY A SHUDDERING NOISE WHEN ON THE THROTTLE. LIMPED THE VEHICLE OFF TO THE SHOULDER WHERE I NOTED SMOKE. OPENED THE HOOD TO DISCOVER A SMALL FIRE TOWARD THE REAR OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. TRIED TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES WITH NO LUCK AND WITH IN 5 MINS THE FLAMES HAD ENGULFED THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK.

I HAVE HAD A SEVERE VIBRATION FROM THE REAR OF MY TRUCK AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 50MPH AND 75MPH WHICH VIBRATES THE FLOOR BOARD AND FRONT SEAT AND THE ALSO THE CENTER CONSOLE. I HAVE HAD THE TIRES REBALANCED. I HAVE HAD THE TIRES REMOVED FROM THE RIMS AND THE RIMS CHECKED. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK FULLY INSPECTED WITH NO REPORTED/KNOWN ISSUES BY THE DODGE DEALER IN SHALLOTTE, N.C. (VICTORY DODGE). THIS IS THE SAME TYPE OF INCIDENCE(S) REPORTED IN THE 2014 DODGE RAM UNDER NHTSA ID NUBER 10056977 SERVICE BULLETIN NO. 16-001-14. DODGE ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE REAR PROP SHAFT/U-JOINT IN AUGUST OF 2014. WHEN YOU INQUIRE TO DODGE OF THE ISSUE THEY CLAIM THEY NO NOTHING ABOUT ANY ISSUES.

POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING OCCASIONALLY WHILE DRIVING

WAS DRIVING IN TOWN NOT TOWING OR LOADED, TRUCK STUMBLED LIKE OUT OF FUEL. I PULLED OVER AND RAISED THE HOOD AND SAW SMOKE COMING FROM PASSENGERS SIDE UNDER THE ENGINE COVER AT THE EGR, EGR COOLER. WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER HANDY I POINTED IT UNDER THE ENGINE COVER PUTTING THE FIRE OUT ON THAT SIDE BUT THE DIESEL FUEL FROM THE BURNT PLASTIC HOSE SPREAD TO THE OTHER SIDE CATCHING THAT SIDE ON FIRE. FCA AFTER SENDING A REP. COULD NOT DETERMINED WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE BUT THEY WOULD EXCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FIRE. THEY ALSO SAID THAT THEY WERE SURE THAT I WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT FIRES HAPPENS. WELL I DON'T!! WITH OVER 40 YEARS AS A AUTO SERVICE CENTER OWNER I DO UNDERSTAND THAT THE ECO DIESEL HAS A VERY SERIOUS FIRE PROBLEM ON THEIR 2014/2017 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL. THIS FIRE PROBLEM IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM THE ENVIRONMENTAL CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT SUIT.

WITHIN THE LAST 30 DAYS, MY TRUCK HAS LOST POWER STEERING CAPABILITIES NUMEROUS TIMES. IT VARIES WHEN THIS OCCURS AS WELL. IT COULD BE A FULL HIGHWAY SPEED, DRIVING SLOWLY THROUGH A PARKING LOT OR EVEN WHILE STATIONARY. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE CENTER FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND WAS TOLD THE STEERING IS ONE ELECTRIC UNIT SO I DID SOME RESEARCH WITH MY MECHANIC AND FOUND A LIMITED RECALL ON 2015-16 RAM 1500S FOR THE POWER STEERING ECM. AT THIS POINT, I BELIEVE THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE A FULL RECALL. AT THIS TIME WE CANNOT FIND THE PARTS TO FIX THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY ARE SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE DUE TO SUCH HIGH DEMAND FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS MOST LIKELY DUE TO THE SAME ISSUES I'M EXPERIENCING WITH MY VEHICLE.

WAS DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE ON THE DASH. THEN THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SLOW DOWN BY ITSELF AND THEN STARTED TO TAKE OFF BY ITSELF. AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN IT LEAPED FORWARD INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN I WAS TRYING TO TURN OFF THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T MAKE IT REPEAT SO THEY SENT ME ON MY WAY WITH NO RESOLUTION. THIS TIME, I GOT AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF ATTITUDE FROM THE DEALERSHIP SAYING I WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEMS AND THAT I DIDN'T WANT ANY HELP AFTER THEY MENTIONED THEY WERE GOING TO CHARGE ME. I'M SURPRISED THEY LET ME HAVE THAT TRUCK BACK AS DANGEROUS AS IT IS BUT THEY CERTAINLY DID. THIS THING IS LIKE A TIME-BOMB. JUST WAITING FOR THE NEXT INCIDENT AND THERE CERTAINLY WILL BE ONE. THEY WOULD NOT LET ME HAVE THE PAPERWORK THIS LAST TIME BECAUSE I WOULD NOT SIGN IT.

SEVERAL TIME WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CROSS AN INTERSECTION OR JUST DRIVING MY TRUCK HAS GONE INTO LIMP MODE LEAVING ME WITHOUT THROTTLE CONTROL EXPOSING ME TO POSSIBLE COLLISION .

ENGINE FIRE RESULTING IN TOW TO DEALERSHIP. HAULING 4000LB TRLR @ 65MPH, RUMBLING FIRST THEN WHITE SMOKE FROM REAR OF TRUCK WHEN ENGINE DIED. PULLED OFF HWY AND FOUND SMALL FIRE IN CENTER OF MANIFOLD. EXTINGUISHED AND RESTARTED TRUCK. FUEL SPRAYING FROM FUEL LINE.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT FILLS WITH WATER. THE WATER HAPPENS WHEN EVER THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. THE CONDENSATION NEVER DISSIPATES AND KEEPS THE LIGHT LENS FOGGED UP. THIS HINDERS VISIBILITY. I HAVE ASKED THE DEALER IF THERE WAS A RECALL AND TO FIX THIS PROBLEM TO NO AVAIL.

THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING, SO I BROUGHT IT TO THE DODGE DEALER. THE RAN A TEST AND IT SHOWS A FUEL SENSOR ERROR. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS HAPPENING A LOT AND IF NOT FIXED SOON IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE.

MY FUEL SENSOR FAILS AFTER 30 MILES INTO FILLING MY GAS TANK. THIS BEGAN AT ABOUT 50,000 MILES AND CONTINUES EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK.

STARTING A FEW MONTHS AGO POWER STEERING WOULD OCCASIONALLY GO OUT BUT THEN IT WOULD CORRECT ITSELF SO I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A GLITCH. NOW IT HAS BEGUN AGAIN AND IT HAS NOT CORRECTED ITSELF. OCCURS WHEN TURNING AT ANY SPEED.

ENGINE SHUTS OFF INSTANTLY WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. WON'T START BACK UP FOR SEVERAL HOURS. WHEN TRYING TO RESTART, STARTER TURNS BUT SEEMS NO GAS IS GOING TO ENGINE. TRUCK ONLY HAS 39K MILES. WHEN I WALKED AWAY FROM THE TRUCK THE AUTO STARTER TRIED TO START IT ON IT'S OWN.

HAVE A VIBRATION OR SHIMMY IN THE RIGHT REAR TIRE, WHEEL OR AXLE. HAVE PUT ON NEW TIRES AND ROTATED/BALANCED THEM. DODGE DEALERSHIP HAS LOOKED IT OVER AND TELLS ME NO PROBLEM. THE 2014S HAD A SHIMMY PROBLEM. I'VE READ MANY REVIEWS OF OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AT OR ABOVE 50 MPH. APPROXIMATE DATE OF OCCURRENCE BELOW.

ENTIRE TRUCK SHAKES INSIDE AT 50+MPH AND DOES NOT GO AWAY THE FASTER YOU DRIVE. THE SHAKE STARTED WITH FACTORY TIRES AND SINCE PUTTING NEW TIRES ON THE VEHICLE THE SHAKES CONTINUE, FEELS LIKE A DRIVE LINE VIBRATION OR SOMETHING IN THE REAR END.. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY BLAMED THE NEW TIRES AND WOULD NOT INVESTIGATE FURTHER BUT THE SHAKE WAS THERE PRIOR TO THE NEW TIRES AT THE SAME SPEEDS, I'VE HAD THE NEW TIRES ROAD FORCED BALANCED 3 TIMES AND EACH TIME THE COMPANY SAID MY TIRES ARE OK. LIFTING THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE UP MYSELF AND PUTTING INTO DRIVE THE RIGHT REAR LOOKS AS IF THERE IS A WOBBLE FROM THE AXLE SHAFT AND LOTS OF NOISE FROM REAR DIFFERENTIAL. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS FOR JULY 2015 ON ABOUT IMPROPER HEAT TREATMENT BUT MY BUILD DATE WAS MAY 2015 AND THINK THAT THIS TRUCK IS AFFECTED AS WELL. THIS IS A CAUSE FOR CONCERN BECAUSE THOSE AXLES THAT WERE DEFECTIVE HAVE A POSSIBILITY OF BREAKING WHILE DRIVING AND SEEMS UNSAFE WHEN YOUR TRANSPORTING FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE.

DROVE LESS THAN A MILE AND TRUCK SHUT DOWN IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION WHILE MOVING WITHOUT WARNING. TOOK TO SHOP AND FOUND OUT IT HAD DROPPED A PISTON. HAD ENGINE PULLED AND ANOTHER USED (22000MILE) ENGINE PUT IT. TRUCK RAN FOR 40 MINUTES BUT WAS SHOWING MISFIRE IN 7. THEN TRUCK SHUT DOWN.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON , FUEL GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY AND LOW FUEL FLASHED ACROSS DASH. TOOK VEHICLE TO LOCAL DEALER AFTER RESEARCHING ON INTERNET TO FIND OUT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WHICH HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BY DODGE/RAM. DEALER ADVISED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR HAD FAILED IN THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY. THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT COULD CAUSE VEHICLE TO SHUT DOWN BECAUSE FUEL PUMP MALFUNCTION

LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST. ATTEMPTED TO HAVE DEALER FIX AS MY REGULAR MECHANIC INFORMED ME OF 2016 RECALL. 519-NHTSA-16V/167. DEALER TOLD ME MY VEHICLE DID NOT SHOW ANY RECALLS

WHEN FILLING THE TRUCK WITH FUEL CANN'T REMOVE THE GAS NOZZLE. HAVE A HARD TIME EVERY TIME I FILL MY TRUCK. SOME HAS TO HELP ME. IS A RECALL ON THE FILLER HOLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE POWER STEERING SEIZED AND THE POWER ASSIST WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO LAFONTAINE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF FENTON (16555 SILVER PKWY, FENTON, MI 48430, (810) 714-3300) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING RACK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 64,356.*DT *DT CONSUMER STATED NO WORK WAS DONE , THEY HOOKED UP THE DEVICE TO DIAGNOSE IT. IN THAT PROCESS THE SYSTEM WAS RESET AND THE ISSUE CLEARED OUT. ESTIMATE REPAIRS CAME OUT TO 2500 DOLLARS. *JB CONSUMER STATED THEY DID NOT PERFORM ANY REPAIRS.*JB

STEERING WHEEL IS STIFF AND HAS FLAT SPOTS IN IT. PEOPLE AT DEALER SHIP SAID CHECK POWER STEERING RESERVOIR, AND MY TRUCK IS ALL ELECTRICAL. THE STIFFNESS COMES AND GOES. AND THE STEERING WHEEL HAS A SQUEAKING SOUND EVERY TIME I TURN. IT DOES IT EVER TIME I DRIVE AND WHEN I AM STATIONARY AS WELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND NOT PROVIDE CORRECT FUEL READINGS. TOWBIN DODGE (275 AUTO MALL DR, HENDERSON, NV 89014,(702) 558-3800) WAS CONTACTED AND SCHEDULED A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. THE DEALER DID NOT KNOW IF THE REPAIR WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,870.

PASSENGER SIDE STORAGE WELL WAS COMPLETELY FILLED WITH WATER. WENT UNNOTICED FOR UNKNOWN NUMBER OF DAYS. TOOK VEHICLE INTO CROWN DODGE OF FAYETTEVILLE. THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE GROWING NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE. REPLACED 3RD BRAKE LIGHT, THEY TRIED TELLING ME THAT ALL DOOR WEATHER STRIPS WERE WORN AND NEEDED REPLACED. DEALERSHIP DID NOT LOOK FOR, FIND OR FIX WATER DAMAGE TO THE SEATS, CARPET OR BODY PANELS. THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT WITH WATER DAMAGE IN THE SAME SPOT WHILE I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE.

HEADLIGHT DEVELOPES CONDENSATION, CAUSING HEADLIGHT (HIGH BEAM) TO BLOW OUT (MY CASE), BUT WHICH EVER IS ON WILL BLOW OUT. DEALERSHIP IS TELLING CUSTOMERS TO RUN WITH HIGH BEAM ON TO BURN OFF THE CONDENSATION. THIS ONLY CAUSES THE BULB TO BLOW.

AIR SUSPENSION WOULD FAIL FREQUENTLY IN FRIGID TEMPERATURES. FIRST OCCURRED WINTER OF 2016.WAS A REGULAR OCCURRENCE UNTIL RECEIVING A SOFTWARE UPDATE. DEALER TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS A RESULT OF A SOFTWARE DESIGN FLAW IN THE AIR SUSPENSION CONTROL MODULE. THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE ON 2-15-2019 (42,000 MILES) AND SOMEHOW FELT JUSTIFIED CHARGING ME $90. CHRYSLER SENT A SERVICE BULLETIN (08-051-16) TO THE DEALERS ON 4-23-2016 NOTING THE DESIGN FLAW AND RECOMMENDING THE SOFTWARE UPDATE. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FIX UNTIL AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRED. I FEEL THIS IS UNSAFE AND VERY UNETHICAL.

3RD BRAKE LIGHT NOT SEALED AND ALLOWS WATER TO ENTER TRUCK. CAN INTERIORS LINER WET AND STAINS. BACK LEATHER SEATS WET AND STAINED

ABOUT 4 WEEKS AGO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CODE READS AS FUEL TEMPERATURE SENSOR. AFTER THE RECALL FOR THE TAILGATE, MY TRUCK TAILGATE HAS OPENED TWICE WHILE DRIVING. PRIOR TO THE RECALL ZERO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT CALLED SOLOMON CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE BROWNSVILLE AT 724-785-8000 (LOCATED AT 409 NATIONAL PIKE W, BROWNSVILLE, PA 15417) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 72,000.

ALTHOUGH NOT REPORTED TO THE DEALER INITIALLY WHEN UNDER WARRANTY, THE DRIVER SEAT BELT WOULD COME UNDONE WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. AT FIRST I THOUGHT I HADN'T SECURED THE BUCKLE PROPERLY BUT EVEN AFTER ENSURING THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE WAS SECURELY LOCKED IT STILL WOULD UNLATCH ITSELF AND THE SEAT BELT ALARM WOULD GO OFF. THESE SEAT BELT LOCKING MALFUNCTION ALWAYS HAPPENED WHEN THE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION AND IT OCCURRED BOTH ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. THIS ALSO OCCURRED AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND AT LEAST 25 TIMES OVER A 3 YEAR PERIOD. I JUST TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AFTER THE SEAT BELT BECAME UNFASTENED TWO TIMES WITHIN A 25 MILE TRIP. A SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE REPLACED ON A 3YR OLD TRUCK WITH ONLY 26K MILESON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A DEFECTIVE BATTERY PLACED IN THE VEHICLE. THE BATTERY EXPLODED AND DAMAGED THE STARTER, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BRANHAVEN JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE RAM (348 W MAIN ST, BRANFORD, CT 06405, (203) 488-6351) FOR REPAIRS, BUT THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, WHICH CAUSED THE REAR WINDSHIELD TO BECOME SMASHED. THE DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR NINE WEEKS AND A LOANER VEHICLE WAS PROVIDED. THE REAR WINDSHIELD WAS REPAIRED, THE ENGINE HARNESS WAS REPLACED, AND AN ENTIRELY NEW WIRING SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED. THE CONTACT EXPECTED SOME TYPE OF COMPENSATION FROM THE DEALER, BUT NONE WAS OFFERED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN AND SEIZED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN THE ENGINE WAS STARTED OR WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VANCAMPEN MOTORS INC. (601 WEST 3RD STREET, WILLIAMSPORT, PA 17701, (570) 326-0567) AND THE FAILURE WAS DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V161000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,775.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP, EXHAUST FUMES ENTERED THE CABIN. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONER WERE UNABLE TO OPERATE DUE TO THE EXHAUST FAILURE. THE FUMES CAUSED THE CONTACT TO BECOME DIZZY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER IN CHICAGO, IL, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 184,000. THE VEHICLE IS EQUPPED WITH A DIESEL ENGINE. *DSY

2015 RAM 1500 WITH 55,555 MILES. THE FUEL SENSOR FAIL (P0463). THIS OCCURRED FIRST WHILE DRIVING 55MPH WITH JUST OVER 3/4 TANK. THEN AGAIN A FEW MILES LATER. IT NOW SHOWS 'FUEL SENSOR FAIL' ANY TIME UNDER 3/4 OF A TANK. BUT WORKS WHEN AT A FULL TANK. I NOW MUST USE MY TRIP MILEAGE TO ESTIMATE WHEN MY FUEL IS LOW. I'M GLAD I GOT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY!

ON 3 DIFFERENT TIMES MY ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAS GOTTEN STUCK AND ACCELERATING TO ABOUT 90 PLUS MPH WHILE DRIVING. I HAD TO STOMP ON IT SEVERAL TIMES TO GET IT UNSTUCK WHILE RIDING THE BRAKE, I HAVE READ WHERE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS MINE. HOWEVER THE DODGE DEALER SAID THEY HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY RECALLS ON THIS PROBLEM AND CAN NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME UNTIL THERE IS A RECALL. SO PAYING OUT MY POCKET TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY BEFORE I AM IN AND ACCIDENT AND INJURY OR KILL SOMEONE AND OR MYSELF. THANKFULLY THERE WASN'T A SCHOOL BUS DROPPING OR PICKING UP KIDS BECAUSE I HAD GO AROUND VEHICLES AS MY RAM TRUCK ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN AFTER RELEASING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.

AFTER 3 RECALLS WERE PERFORMED, INCLUDING A TRANSMISSION SHIFTER RECALL THE VEHICLE NOW SURGES AND LURCHES FORWARD WHEN I START IT. IT IS FULLY IN THE PARK POSITION AND NOT MOVING. I NOW HAVE TO BE SURE TO HAVE MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE WHEN I START THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS JUST BARELY OUT OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AT 75, 040 MILES.

THE FACTORY AIR RIDE SUSPENSION HAS FAILED DUE TO COLD WEATHER AND HANDLING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IS MARGINAL. I HAVE REPORTED TO THE DEALER BUT THE SERVICE MANAGER TELLS ME THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THERE ISN'T A FIX

THE POWER STEERING IS CUTTING OUT RANDOMLY WITHOUT NOTICE. THIS CAN HAPPEN WHEN TURNING OR CHANGING LANES OR DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT FOR FEAR OF A CRASH INJURING US OR OTHERS. THERE IS AN EXISTING RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, (S19) BUT WE MISS IT BY 1 MONTH. SEEING WE HAVE THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS OTHERS WITH SAME MODEL AND YEAR, WE FEEL THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS FAULTY. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME LOOSE AND WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DODGE CHRYSLER HUNTINGTON BEACH (16701 BEACH BLVD, HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA 92647, (714) 841-3999), BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 157,000. *TR

WENT TO THE GAS STATION EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I GO TO LEAVE AND I HAVE NO POWER STEERING. I HAD TO DRIVE THROUGH OUR CITY TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY TO GET HOME. IT WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER ALL THE WAY HOME ESPECIALLY THE SLOWER I WENT. WHEN I GOT HOME I SEE ON THE INTERNET THAT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING ASSIST MODULE. BUT THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS YET. THIS HAPPENED WITH ONLY 72000.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS CONTINUALLY SHEAR OFF FROM THE HIGH HEAT DISPLACEMENT OF THE 5.7 V8 HEMI ENGINE. SYMPTOMS INCLUDE A RAPID TICKING SOUND DURING ENGINE STARTUP.

I'M HAVING ISSUES WITH MY 2015 DODGE RAM 1500 A COUPLE DAYS AGO IT GAVE ME A MESSAGE TELLING ME I HAD TO GET MY POWER STEERING SERVICED. DURING THAT DAY I LET MY VEHICLE RUN FOR 20 MINUTES AND IT WORKED FINE AFTER THAT. HOWEVER, A COUPLE DAYS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT WHEN I WAS TURNING ON A BUSY CITY STREET COMING BACK FROM DINNER THE STEERING LOCKED UP OUT OF NOWHERE AND I HAD TO USE EXTRA FORCE TO NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE NEXT DAY, I VISITED MY LOCAL DEALER PLANET DODGE AND I INFORMED THEM ON THE ISSUE AND THEY RAN MY VIN AND SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAVE THE RECALL WHICH IS RIDICULOUS BECAUSE THE RECALL FOR THAT PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS FOR THE VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BEFORE SEPTEMBER OF 2015 AND MINES BEING FEBRUARY OF 2015. I'M STARTING TO GET VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND OTHERS AS PRIOR TO MY VISIT AT PLANET DODGE I MET SOME OWNERS AND STATE TROOPERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS ME AND NOT GETTING THE SERVICE THEY AND THEIR VEHICLES NEED IN ORDER TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY.*DT 'PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

MY TRUCK KEEPS LOOKING UP THE STEERING WHEEL. EVERY MORNING WHEN I FIRST START THE TRUCK I HAVE TO LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES. AFTER THE 45 MINUTES I TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND ON AGAIN AND THE STEERING WILL UNLOCK. ITS UNLOCKS WHEN THE TRANSMISSION TEMP REACHES ABOUT 190 DEGREES. SOMETIMES THE STEERING LOCKS WHILE I'M DRIVING. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO DOGE AND THEY SAID FOR ME TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER AND PAY FOR AN ESTIMATE THEN TO SEND IT TO THEM FOR THEM TO SEE IF THEY'LL COVER IT. MY HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK FOR OTHER RECALLS TO PLANET DODGE IN MIAMI AND THEY'VE TOLD ME THEY'VE HAD PLENTY OF TRUCKS LIKE MINE COME IN WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BEING SOMETIMES WHEN I AM TURNING ITS LOCKED UP. I AM AWARE THERE ARE RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE FROM DODGE THEY SAY JUST NOT MY TRUCK BUT MY TRUCK IS AFFECTED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM THEY NEED TO INCLUDE MORE TRUCKS IN THAT RECALL. IF YOU WOULD LIKE YOU CAN INSPECT MY TRUCK ANY TIME. THIS PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO AND GETS WORSE EVERY DAY. PLEASE HELP. WHEN THE TRUCKS POWER STEERING IS LOCKED IT SAY POWER STEERING MAINTANCE REQUIRED.

AIR SUSPENSION COMPRESSOR WENT OUT. WE LIVE IN MINNESOTA AND UPON THIS HAPPENING I TALKED TO THE DEALER AND RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND IT IS A NON STOP ISSUE. THE DEALER SAID THEY FIX THIS SAME PROBLEM ALL THE TIME BUT THERE IS NO RECALL. IT IS A EXPENSIVE FIX THAT DODGE IS NOT COVERING YET IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE.

STEERING LOCKS UP. EVERY TIME I GO TO START MY DODGE RAM 1500 2015 THE STEERING IS LOCKED. THE TRUCK NEEDS TO BE AT HIGH TEMPERATURES TO UNLOAD CLEAN THE STEERING. SOMETIMES WHEN YOU START DRIVING IT LOCKS UP AGAIN. THIS ISSUE IS GOING TO GO CAUSE ACCIDENTS. THE DODGE DEALER IN MIAMI FLORIDA PLANET DODGE IS AWARE OF THESE ISSUES ON THESE VEHICLES. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL

WHEN I WOKE UP MY RAM'S STEERING WAS LOCKED AND I WAS SHOCKED BECAUSE I NEVER HAD AN ISSUE LIKE THIS SO I WAITED AND WAITED UNTIL IT REACHED 190* F TO BE ABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL THEN I SAFELY DROVE MY VEHICLE TO SCHOOL AND WHEN I GOT BACK IN MY TRUCK AT 2:20 THE STEERING WAS LOCKED AGAIN AND I'M SHOCKED AGAIN BECAUSE I NEVER HAD A CAR THAT HAD PROBLEMS. TO MY CONCERN THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE ANYONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM CAN SERIOUSLY CAUSE A BAD CAR ACCIDENT THAT WAS NOT MEANT TO HAPPEN IN THE FIRST PLACE.

MY DRIVEWAY IS ON A SLIGHT INCLINE AND FOR THE 3RD TIME SINCE PURCHASING THIS TRUCK, WHEN I PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK IT HAS ROLLED BACKWARDS. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY AND I HAD TO JUMP IN THE TRUCK WHILE IT IS MOVING AND PUT THE BRAKES ON. THIS HAS THE 8 SPD TRANSMISSION WITH THE ROTARY KNOB.

I TURNED IN A 2013 RAM 1500 BECAUSE THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION SYSTEM FAILED FOUR TIMES IN FIVE MONTHS. ON OCTOBER 26, 2018, I LOOKED AT 12, YES 12, TRUCKS AND SETTLED ON A 2105 RAM 1500 REBEL, ALSO WITH THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION. ON FEBRUARY 8, 2109, THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION SYSTEM FAILED ON THE 2105 RAM TOO! THE 2015 IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FIAT/CHRYSLER. WHEN THIS SYSTEM FAILS, IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE NO LONGER DRIVING ON TIRES BUT LOGS WHICH COULD CAUSE SOMEONE TO CRASH. THE AIR RIDE NEEDS IMMEDIATE SERVICE ALARM DISPLAYED UPON START UP ON THE 2015. THE ALARM DISPLAYED THREE TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY AND ONCE EACH ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AND WHILE PARKED. THE DEALERSHIP WAS GREAT WITH THE 2013 BUT I HAVE NOT HEARD WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THE 2015 EXCEPT THAT THE REPAIRS WOULD BE $2,700.00. ON BOTH TRUCKS, I WAS TOLD, BY THE DEALERSHIP STAFF, THE LEFT FRONT AIR SPRING LEAKED AND THE PUMP & MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY STOPPED WORKING.

THE AIR SUSPENSION ON MY RAM ECO DIESEL 2015 PICKUP HAS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THE SUSPENSION FAILED. I HAD TO DRIVE 25 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY JUST TO GET IT BACK TO TOWN. THIS HAPPENED LAST WINTER ALSO AND WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. FOR 2 WEEKS THE TRUCK SAT WHILE RAM TRIED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO. THE TRUCK CAN NOT SOFTLY BE DRIVEN UNTIL FIXED. RAM IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND KNOWS THAT THE COLD WEATHER IS CAUSING THE PROBLEMS. WHAT CAN THE GOVERNMENT DO TO FORCE RAM TO RECALL THE TRUCK FOR SAFETY REASONS?

VEHICLE IS STRUGGLING REALLY HARD TO TURN JUST GOING AROUND A CURVE IN THE ROAD. THIS IS MAKING IT VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO HAVING TO STRONG ARM EVERY TURN OF THE WHEEL AND NOT BEING ABLE TO MAKE SUDDEN TURNS IN THE EVENT IT IS NECESSARY. I BELIEVE IT IS THE POWER STEERING THAT HAS FAILED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH AND MAKING A TURN, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V167000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000.

IN COLD WEATHER THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION STOPS WORKING. WHILE SITTING OR DRIVING THE AIR BAGS LOSE ALL AIR PRESSURE AND DROPS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BUMP STOPS. I AM UNSURE EXACTLY WHAT IS CAUSING THE EXACT PROBLEM BUT IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE BECAUSE THE TRUCK BOUNCES ALL OVER THE ROAD EVERY BUMP YOU HIT. I CALLED MY DEALER AND HE SAID HE HAS FOUR TRUCKS IN HIS SHOP AT THE MOMENT WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO GET RESOLVED.

VEHICLE TURNS OFF WHEN HITTING POTHOLES ON CITY STREETS WHILE DRIVING HAVE TO STOP PUT IN PARK AND RESTART SAID VEHICLE WAS IN SHOP MAY OF 2018 FOR SAME ISSUE VEHICLE ON HAS 1000 MLS SINCE LAST REPAIR PER ALLEN SAMUELS DODGE SERVICE ADVISER IN ARANSAS PASS TEXAS

THE AIR SUSPENSION WARNING MESSAGE COMES UP EVERY TIME IT GETS BELOW 10 DEGREES, AND THE SUSPENSION BAGS COMPLETELY DEFLATED WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. I HAD NO SUSPENSION, JUST RIDING ON THE BUMP STOPS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. ALSO, THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED WHEN THE CONTACT PERFORMED A COLD START. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN, WHICH ALSO MADE DRIVING DIFFICULT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CROWN DODGE OF FAYETTEVILLE (436 N MCPHERSON CHURCH RD, FAYETTEVILLE, NC 28303, (910) 920-9613) AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED SINCE IT HAD AN INTERNAL SHORT. THE MANUFACTURER REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE CONTACT HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT IT DID NOT COVER THE POWER STEERING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000.

THERE IS A SPLIT-SECOND DELAY WHEN PRESSING THE HORN BUTTON AND THE HORN ACTUALLY SOUNDING. VERY SIGNIFICANT WHEN SOMEONE IS ENTERING YOUR LANE AND DOESN'T SEE YOU. SERVICE TECH CHARGED ME $50 TO TELL ME THAT THIS IS NORMAL. IT CERTAINLY SHOULD NOT BE NORMAL. VERY DANGEROUS. IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE NEW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 2 MPH, WITH THE STEERING WHEEL SLIGHTLY TURNED RIGHT OR LEFT, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WALLACE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (2755 SE FEDERAL HWY, STUART, FL 34994, 772-220-3600) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE ACTUATOR FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE STEERING WHEEL CONTINUED TO SHAKE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 46,000. *TT CONSUMER STATED THIS CONDITION REPEATED WHILE ALSO IN REVERSE.*JB

THIS IS THE SECOND RAM I HAVE OWNEC WITH A SHIFT KNOB ON THE DASH. BOTH HAVE FAILED AROUND 60K MILES. IN BOTH TRUCKS THE SHIFT WILL RANDOMLY EITHER GO JNTO NEUTRAL OR PARK WHILE STOPPED.. HAS HAPPENED TO ME AT RED LIGHTS. I'VE HAD TO SHIFT BACK TO PARK AND RESET THE DESIRED GEAR. ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS I HAD CYCLE THE SHIFTER 3 TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD GO INTO GEAR CAUSING TRAFFIC TO BACK UP. I REPLACED THE SHIFTER AND CURED THE PROBLEM ON BOTH TRUCKS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL.

DURING THE FAILURE, THE STEERING SENSOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BUTLER CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (1555 SALEM RD, BUFORD, SC 29902), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

I HAVE A 2015 DODGE RAM 1500 AND I HAVE A PROBLEM WHERE I'LL GO TO START MY VEHICLE AND THE POWER STEERING JUST LOCKS UP UNTIL MY TRANSMISSION REACHES 180*F I BELIEVE THE ISSUE MIGHT BE THE STEERING COLUMN BECAUSE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED AND LOWERED I THINK IT CAUSED TOO MUCH STRESS TO THE U JOINTS OR SOMETHING HAPPENED. I DON'T KNOW WHY THE FCA WILL NOT REPORT THIS AS A RECALL BECAUSE I TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALER AND 100+ CARS ARE IN THERE FOR THE SAME REASON EVEN STATE POLICE CARS .

55K MILES ON TRUCK. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. PULLED ERROR CODE P0463 WHICH INDICATED AN ISSUE WITH FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. LIGHT WENT OUT AFTER A FEW ENGINE STARTS. TODAY THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES BACK ON, FUEL GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY (EVEN THOUGH IT HAS 3/4 OF A TANK, AND A FUEL LEVEL SENSORS FAILURE MESSAGE DISPLAYS ON THE DASH. AN INTERNET SEARCH FOUND THAT THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THE 2014+ RAMS. THE FUEL SENDER WEARS A LINE ON THE SENSOR AND THE CONTACTS NOT LONGER MAKE CONTACT. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. THE FIX INVOLVES DRAINING THE TANK, PULLING THE BED ON THE TRUNK AND REPLACEMENT OF EITHER THE COMPLETE FUEL PUMP OR THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. COST ESTIMATES ARE $575 AND ON UP. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR A TRUCK THAT'S ONLY 3YRS OLD AND 55K MILES. I HAVE A 1979 MERCURY BOBCAT AND THE GAS GAUGE STILL WORKS ON IT. THIS IS JUST A POORLY DESIGNED PART THAT CAUSES PREMATURE FAILURE.

THE DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THE CLOCKSPRING DUE TO PROBLEMS WITH THE HORN, AIRBAG AND STEERING/ELECTRICAL. THIS WAS THE SAME PROBLEM FOR 2012-2014 RAM 1500S THAT WERE RECALLED, MILEAGE FOR THE TRUCK IS ABOUT 65000. COST FOR FIXING IT WAS 762.67. IT IS SIMILAR TO NHTSA ID NUMBER: 11065676 THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE LIGHTS ON THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT ILLUMINATE AND THE HORN STOPPED WORKING. CHAPMAN DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM OF SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA (3800 N 89TH ST, 85251) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REQUESTED THAT THE VEHICLE BE BROUGHT IN FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 41,500.

TRUCKS FRONT FRAME WAS WRINKLED AND BUMPER SNAPPED IN HALF. WHILE STEPPING ON THE BRAKES SEAT BELTS NEVER LOCKED.

THE FUEL SENSOR GOES OUT. IT SEEMS FCA KNOWS OF THIS BUT NOT DOING MUCH TO FIXING IT. COMPLAINTS ON UTUBE ALSO. IT WON'T START IN SELF-STARTING, FUEL GAUGE STAYS ON EMPTY, AND MAINTAINS A ENGINE PROBLEM. CAN RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY IF NOT FIXED. CAN COST UP $1000.00. IT HAPPENED AT 36, 499, JUST OVER THE WARRANTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE REAR SUSPENSION'S AIR SYSTEM ABRUPTLY ACTIVATED CAUSING THE VEHICLE'S REAR END TO LIFT AND THE FRONT END TO DROP ABRUPTLY.

FCA AS THE PARENT COMPANY TO RAM BRANDS HAS ISSUED A RECALL R51 FOR A KNOWN ISSUE RELATED TO THE RAM 1500 ECODIESEL USING A 3.0L VM MOTORI DIESEL MOTOR. THE RECALL IS INTENDED TO COVER ALL ECODIESEL MOTORS WITH A BLOCK HEATER. ALL VM MOTORI ENGINES ARE EQUIPPED FROM THE FACTORY WITH A BLOCK HEATER. HOWEVER, ONLY SOME TRUCKS WERE SHIPPED WITH A FACTORY INSTALLED HEATER BLOCK CABLE, AND ONLY THOSE WITH THE CABLE CODE WERE FLAGGED WITH THE RECALL. HOWEVER, ALL ECODIESEL MOTORS SUFFER FROM THE SAME ISSUE LISTED IN THE RECALL RELATING TO COLD WEATHER OPERATION BELOW AMBIENT FREEZING TEMPERATURES. AFTER CONTACTING FCA, I WAS INSTRUCTED TO CONTACT NHTSA TO SEE ABOUT GETTING MY VIN NUMBER INSERTED INTO THE RECALL, AS ALL ECODIESEL MOTORS IN THIS RANGE SOLD IN AREAS FREQUENTLY BELOW FREEZING REQUIRE IT. THE RECALL TEXT IS AVAILABLE HERE: HTTPS://WWW.CHRYSLER.COM/UNIVERSAL/WEBSELFSERVICE/PDF/R51.PDF

CONTINUE TO RECEIVE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODE P0463 HIGH LEVEL OUTPUT FUEL SENSOR. FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT CHANGE AND WORKS CORRECTLY. SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY $734 TO $1400 TO FIX THIS SENSOR PROBLEM. // FRONT PARK ASSIST SENSOR BROKEN. ONE SENSOR BROKEN BUT FAILS THE OTHER SENSORS INSTALLED. SHOULD HAVE TO PAY $765 TO REPLACE ONE SENSOR AND PAINT TO MATCH THE FRONT BUMPER.

ENGINE IN THE TRUCK FAILED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, STARTED LOUDLY KNOCKING AND LOST POWER, BY THE TIME I WAS ABLE TO GET PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER THE CAB OF THE TRUCK FILLED WITH SMOKE, THE SMOKE IN THE CAB WAS THICK ENOUGH THAT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO SEE. EYES WERE WATERING AND WAS DIFFICULT TO BREATH, THE SMOKE WAS COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD OF THE TRUCK. I NEVER SAW FLAMES BUT THOUGHT TRUCK WAS ON FIRE DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF SMOKE SO I HAD MY FAMILY EXIT THE TRUCK AS SOON AS WE WERE SAFELY ON THE SHOULDER OUT OF TRAFFIC. THE SMOKE EVENTUALLY STOPPED. THE DEALER THAT THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO BY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE INDICATED THAT THERE WERE CURRENTLY MORE THAN 60 ENGINES ON BACK ORDER IN THE US WITH NO ESTIMATED DELIVERY TIME ON A REPLACEMENT. THERE ARE A LARGE AMOUNT OF THESE ECO DIESEL ENGINES FAILING AND SOME VEHICLES ARE CATCHING ON FIRE DUE TO THE ENGINE FAILURE CAUSING OIL TO LEAK ONTO THE EXHAUST AND IGNITING. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THE SAME FAILURE ALONG WITH ENGINE BAY FIRES ON A WEBSITE DEDICATED TO THIS PARTICULAR TRUCK AND ENGINE. HTTPS://WWW.RAM1500DIESEL.COM/

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, THE TRUCK LOST ALL POWER AND I STARTED COASTING TO A STOP. WHILE SLOWING DOWN, A LOUD CLICKING SOUND CAME FROM THE ENGINE BAY AND I GOT A "LOW OIL PRESSURE" WARNING MESSAGE ON THE DASH. AS I WAS COASTING TO A STOP, SMOKE STARTED POURING OUT OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND WAS COMING INTO THE CAB THROUGH THE VENTS. IT SMELLED LIKE COOLANT. I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL AND IT WAS GOOD. ALL GAUGES WERE IN NORMAL TEMPERATURE RANGES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, AND IT IS STILL UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD THE OIL CHANGED ON TIME. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE EGR (EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION) COOLER FAILED. THEY SAID IT LEAKED INTO THE INTAKE AND THE INTAKE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AS WELL FOR A TOTAL COST OF ABOUT $4500. RAM SAID THAT THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER IT, WHICH IS ABSURD BECAUSE THE TWO PARTS ARE BOLTED TO THE ENGINE AND NECESSARY FOR IT TO RUN. EGR COOLER FAILURES ARE VERY COMMON ON RAM 1500 ECODIESELS, ALTHOUGH RAM DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE.

10/05/2018 DRIVING DOWN ROAD AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, 3 TRIPS TO DEALER, 10/08/2018 AFTER UPDATING COMPUTER FOR RECALLS ON 1ST TRIP,10/18/18 REPLACEING EXHAUST MANIFOLD GASKETS ($1188.00) 2ND TRIP, REPLACED PLUGS, AFTER 3RD TRIP 10/22/2018 WAS TOLD HAVE BAD LIFTERS, $6500 TO REPAIR, VALVE LIFTERS ON BACKORDER 4-6 MONTHS. SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS HEMI MOTOR. TRUCK HAS 136000 MILES, OUT OF WARRENTY. WAS ALSO TOLD THAT WHEN REPLACEMENT LIFTERS DO COME IN THEY ARE THE SAME, NOT FIXED, NOT UPGRADED, SO THE SAME THING CAN HAPPEN AGAIN. WHAT DO I DO WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR 4-6 MONTHS?

AM GETTING A P203E ERROR MESSAGE. TOOK IT TO DEALER. THERE IS A DEFECTIVE LEVEL SENSOR LOCATED INSIDE THE TANK. PROBLEM IS ITS A SEALED TANK WITH NO ACCESS ONLY WAY TO FIX IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TANK, PUMP AND SENSOR. VERY BAD DESIGN FLAW. $2600 TO REPLACE. MESSAGE IS SAYING ENGINE WILL FAIL TO START AFTER 500 MILES. THE DEF PUMP IS WORKING CORRECTLY BUT THE ENGINE THINKS ITS ALMOST EMPTY.

HEADLIGHTS WILL SHUT OFF THEN TURN BACK ON SO FAST IF YOU BLINK YOU MISS IT. HAVE NOT NOTICED A PATTERN IN WHEN IT HAPPENS. ONLY TIME I HAVE NOT NOTICED IT HAPPENING IS WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON WHILE VEHICLE IS NOT RUNNING. HAVE TALKED TO FOUR DIFFERENT DEALERS AND CALLED THE MANUFACTURER DIRECTLY STILL NO HELP.

MY DODGE RAM 2011 1500 AND MY 2015 DODGE RAM 1500 BOTH WHEN IT RAINS MY BACK UNDER THE SEATS GETS FILLED WITH 2" RAIN WATER. THIS MUST BE A INHERIT PROBLEM THE ROOF MUST BE LEAKING CAUSING THIS RAIN WATER TO RUN TO THAT AREA. WILL CAUSE RUST AREA TO CAUSE WEAKEN BODY TO CASE SEAT TO WEAKEN IN THIS AREA.

POWER STEERING IS FAILING LIKE THE RECALL 16V167000 WHICH INCLUDES 2015 RAM 1500'S HOWEVER MINE IS NOT SHOWING IT TO BE INCLUDED. AT LOW SPEED THE STEERING IS STFFING AND BECOMING DIFFICULT TO TURN. MILEAGE IS UNDER 25000.

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE TRUCK ENGINE DIED WITHOUT WARNING. AND I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART. THE ECO DIESEL ENGINE IN MY TRUCK ON THE THIRD INCIDENT, TOTALLY SEIZED UP AND I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE WAS FINISHED AND THE DEALER WOULD TRY TO GET ME A NEW ONE. THEY CAME BACK AND SAID IT WOULD TAKE A MINIMUM OF TWO MONTHS, IF THEY COULD GET ONE AT ALL, BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS THEY WERE HAVING WITH ECODIESEL ENGINES. I BASICALLY, WAS FORCED TO TRADE IT IN TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS TRUCK IS UNSAFE AND SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD. ON TWO OCCASIONS OF THE THREE INCIDENTS, IT NEAL\RLY KILLED ME, OR AT LEAST A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE POWER STEERING SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE BEGAN TWO MONTHS AGO AND PROGRESSIVELY WORSENED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,593.

ON 9/21/18 MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND HIS TRUCK SHUT OFF CAUSING HIM TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER. WHEN HE DID HE NOTICED SOME LIGHT SMOKE. HE TRIED TO POP THE HOOD BUT IT WOULDN'T POP SO HE GOT OUT AND TRIED TO SEE IF IT WAS CAUGHT AND SAW MORE SMOKE HE LOOKED UNDERNEATH TO SEE STUFF DRIPPING LIKE MELTING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, AT THAT TIME HE WENT TO WALK AROUND THE TRUCK TO LOOK FOR A FIRE EXTINGUISHER WHEN HE HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION CAUSING HIM TO RUN BACK FROM THE TRUCK AND CALL 911. IN LESS THAN 5 MINUTES THE ENTIRE TRUCK WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES AND IN THE 25 IT TOOK THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO ARRIVE THE ENTIRE TRUCK EXCEPT THE BED AND REAR TIRES WERE COMPLETELY BURNT DOWN. 5 MONTHS PRIOR TO THIS THE ENGINE IN THIS ECODIESEL BLEW UP WHILE HE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND CHRYSLER DID AN COMPLETE ENGINE REPLACEMENT ON IT UNDER WARRANTY AND DUE TO THEIR FAULT. THE NEW ENGINE ONLY HAD 10-15K MILES ON IT AND TO REPLACE THIS ENGINE YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE ENTIRE TRUCK APART LIKE A LEGO CAB AND ALL. RAM IS NOT COMING OUT WITH AN ECODIESEL IN THE 1500 IN 2019 BUT CHRYSLER IS NOT OWNING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE TRUCK ALMOST KILLING MY HUSBAND. THE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION ON FIRE AND ON THE SIDE OF A HIGHWAY WHEN IT BURNT DOWN. IT WAS IN MOTION AND ON AN INTERSTATE WHEN THE FIRST ENGINE BLEW WITH ONLY 84K MILES ON A DIESEL.

I WAS HAVING THE OIL CHANGED. WHEN THEY STARTED IT TO PULL IT OUT THE POWER STEERING WARNING CAME ON AND I DID NOT HAVE ANY POWER STEERING. *DT*JB

THE STEERING GETS TIGHT TO WHERE YOU CAN'T TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THEN IT LOOSENS BACK UP UNEXPECTEDLY. IT'S BECOMING DANGEROUS AND SCARY WHEN TURNING CORNERS. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO TIGHTEN UP. WE JUST BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN SEPTEMBER 2018 AND ALREADY HAVING ISSUES. IT HAS 73,000 MILES ON IT. IF THE PAST RECALL FOR STEERING WAS EVER FIXED, IT'S BROKE AGAIN AND NEEDS REPLACED.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH WHEN MY ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND I WAS FORCED TO COAST TO A STOP. I GOT MY TRUCK TOWED TO A SHOP AND FURTHER INSPECTION REVEALED THE ENGINE ROD BOLTS HAD BACKED OUT AND ALLOWED THE ROD TO COME OFF OF THE CRANKSHAFT. MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 71,000 MILES ON IT AND AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH FOUND THIS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON ISSUE IN COMPARISON TO OTHER ENGINES. I DISCOVERED THIS CONDITION OCCURS AT RANDOM MILES AND IN MOST CASES WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN THE ENGINE FAILS YOU LOSE POWER TO CRITICAL COMPONENTS LIKE POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING, IN SOME CASES COULD LEAD TO A FIRE AS WELL. LUCKILY I WAS ON A ROAD THAT ALLOWED ME TO STOP SAFELY.

TRUCK BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS ON A FLAT GRADE AND HIT A HONDA CIVIC IN THE REAR BUMPER WITH THE OPENED DRIVERS DOOR WHICH FOLDED BACK ONTO THE FRONT DRIVERS FENDER. KNOW ONE WAS IN EITHER VEHICLE AND NO INJURIES OCCURRED. THIS HAPPENED ON THE SHOULDER OF A RESIDENTIAL STREET. I GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK (VEHICLE RUNNING) WALKED UP THE SIDEWALK TO THE HOME HEARD A CRUNCH, LOOKED BACK AND SAW THE VEHICLES TOGETHER. I WAS AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE AT LEASE 3 MINUTES BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. THE TRUCK WAS PARKED CIDDY CORNER TO THE REAR OF THE HONDA APPROXIMATELY 10 FEET AWAY FROM EACH OTHER. I WOULD HAVE KNOWN IMMEDIATELY IF THE TRUCK WAS IN REVERSE AFTER GETTING OUT OF IT AS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MOVING. IT WASN'T UNTIL A MINUTE OR TWO THAT IT BEGAN TO MOVE INTO REVERSE. IT WENT BACK 10 FEET AND WAS STOPPED WITH THE DRIVERS DOOR HOOKED ONTO THE REAR BUMPER OF THE CIVIC. THIS ISSUE IS DUE TO A BAD CONTROL DIAL ON THE DASH IN MY OPINION.

TAILGATE HAS FALLEN OPEN TWICE WITHOUT NOTICE. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I HAD JUST STARTED MY TRUCK AND WAS PARKED, THE TAILGATE FELL OPEN, HITTING A TREE AND DENTED THE TAILGATE. THE SECOND TIME I JUST PULLED OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND THE TAILGATE FELL OPEN AND I ALMOST LOST THE LOAD IN THE BACK OF THE TRUCK BED.

RECENTLY HAD THE POWER STEERING UNIT REPLACED BY FCA (50% MY COST) AND FILED A NHTSA COMPLAINT. AFTER APPROX 2,000 MILES HAS DEVELOPED VERY STIFF AND JERKY STEERING ASSIST. WHEEL WILL NOT RETURN TO CENTER WHEN YOU LET GO, AND TURNING CORNERS IS A TWO HANDED, REDUCED SPEED AFFAIR AS NOT TO COLLIDE WITH OTHER VEHICLES. I HAVE DETERMINED THAT THE UNIVERSAL JOINT ON THE STEERING SHAFT IS BAD. I CAN SPRAY LUBRICANT ON IT AND THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY FOR A WHILE THEN RETURNS AS IT DRIES OUT. *TT

ECODIESEL TRUCK FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS SHUTS OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING, STARTING FROM A STOP AND WHEN IDLING WHENEVER FUEL TANK REACHES 1/4 FULL OR LESS. TRUCK IS DIFFICULT HARD TO START WHEN AT 1/3 FUEL LEVEL. ON JUNE 28TH 2018 AFTER TRUCK SHUT OFF ON FREEWAY BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND I NEED TO KEEP THE FUEL TANK GREATER THAN QUARTER TANK FUEL TO PREVENT THE TRUCK FROM SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS NOT A SOLUTION AND IT'S VERY SCARY TO BE DRIVING WITH A LARGE TRAILER AND YOUR TRUCK SHUTS OFF ON THE ROAD.

ENGINE FIRE. CHRYSLER DENIED RESPONSIBILITY. TRUCK WAS IN MOTION. LOST ENGINE OIL PRESSURE AND PULLED OVER. FIRE WAS UNDER THE HOOD.

STEERING RACK WILL LOCK UP OUT IF NO WHERE WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS.THIS HAPPENS WHEN TRUCK IS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL IT'S NOT CONTINUOUSLY HAPPENING IT IS INTERMITTENT. BEEN TO TWO DEALERS AND NO FIX OTHER THAN TO REPLACE THE STEERING RACK. IT'S TOO MUCH MONEY TO PAY WITH NO HELP. *TT

TAILGATE OPEN WHEN I ROAD A FEW TIMES MONTHLY.

I HAD A FRONT END COLLISION WITH A GUARDRAIL AT ABOUT 45 TO 50 MILES AN HOUR THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. RAM TRUCK IS COMING TO LOOK AT IT TO SEE WHY THEY DIDN'T DEPLOY. I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO TURN TO THAT'S WHY I AM CONTACTING YOU AND LETTING YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. NOBODY WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED I WAS ON ROUTE US 35 HEADING WEST IN BEAVERCREEK OHIO. *TT

LACK OF ACCELERATION FROM STILL TO PASSING GEAR. RPMS GO UP AND SLOWLY ACCELERATE

STEREO NOT WORKING - FLASHES RAM LOGO AND XM LOGO, THEN TRIES TO UPDATE. NOTHING HAPPENS AND NO CONTROLS WORK. DEALER WANTS 1800. TO REPLACE. DRIVERS SIDE LUMBAR NOT WORKING, DEALER SAID SEAT BACK NEEDS REPLACING. HARD TO BELIEVE THESE NEED TO BE DONE ON A 3 YR OLD VEHICLE WITH 44K MILES ON IT. NEITHER ARE SAFETY ITEMS, HOWEVER MANY ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE RADIOS IN THESE VEHICLES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE CONTACT OPENED THE HOOD AND FLAMES WERE SEEN NEAR THE REAR OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE CONTACT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE BY THROWING SAND ON THE ENGINE AND A PASSERBY WAS ABLE TO ASSIST WITH EXTINGUISHING THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO PLANET DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (9975 NW 12TH ST, MIAMI, FL 33172, (305) 470-8000) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A BURNT AND MELTED EGR COOLER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

ON MAY 29,2018. I REARENDED A SEMI TRUCK. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PRESSED TO THE FLOOR BUT VEHICLE WOULD NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. WHEN TOWED TO COLLISION CENTER I ADDRESSED MY CONCERNS TO THEM THAT I FELT MY VEHICLE WAS DEFECTIVE DUE TO THE TRUCK MAINTAINING SPEED WHILE I WAS APPLYING BRAKES. THEY PLUGGED IT INTO SCAN TOOL AND FOUR DEFAULT CODES CAME UP. (ABS,AIRBAG,POWER STEERING,DOOR MODULE)I THEN PROCEEDED TO OPEN A CLAIM WITH DAIMLER CHRYSLER. WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE MAIN CONCERN THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE INVESTIGATED WAS WHY DEFAULT CODES CAME UP & TRUCK WAS NOT STOPPING TO AVOID COLLISION. DAIMLER CHRYSLER ASSURED ME THERE THIRD PARTY INVESTIGATOR WOULD INVESTIGATE ALL THE ISSUES (ALL DEFAULT CODES). THEY WHERE SENT OUT, PLUGGED TRUCK INTO SCAN TOOL AND TOOK PICTURES. THIRD PARTY SENT MY HUSBAND & I A COPY OF WHAT THE CRASH TEST DATA WAS.BEEN CALLING THEM FOR ANSWERS SINCE MY TRUCK HAS BEEN SITTING FOR MONTH & A HALF UNTOUCHED. TO FIND OUT THAT THEY ONLY INVESTIGATED AIR BAG ISSUE & NOT OTHER VERY SERIOUS MECHANICAL SAFETY ISSUES. CLEARLY DOCUMENTED IN CRASH TEST DATA, FROM MY VEHICLE, STATES POSITIVE TORQUE TO MOTOR WITH PEDAL PRESSURE OF ACCELERATOR READING AT 0% & WHILE BRAKES WHERE BEING APPLIED. I HAVE DOCUMENTS TO PROVE MY STATEMENTS. ALSO AT TIME OF ACCIDENT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE CURRENT RECALL OF CRUISE CONTROL. ON JUNE 14TH ,2018 MY HUSBAND CHECKED OUR VIN AGAIN & IT IS NOW INCLUDED IN CURRENT RECALL. AT THE TIME OF ACCIDENT MY CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ENGAGED. BUT THE RECALL IS DUE TO THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE OR ENGINE CONTROL MODULE NOT REMOVING POSITIVE TORQUE REQUESTS FROM THE CAN-B. IF CAN-B STOPS COMMUNICATING WITH THE ECM OR PCM. ALSO ALL OTHER DEFAULT CODES SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED LIKE THE POWER STEERING THAT PULLED TO ONE SIDE WHILE I WAS BRAKING. THEIR ARE TO MANY ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT & ARE HIDING. *BF *TR

THERE ISN'T ENOUGH ROOM FOR THE ENTIRE ORDEAL, BUT I WILL DO MY BEST TO CONGEST IT. JUNE 19TH: WENT TO DEALER SHIP WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NOBODY THERE KNEW WHAT IT MEANT, AND THEY ERASED IT AND TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT UNLESS IT COMES BACK. JULY 3RD: VACATION TRIP, ABOUT 2 HOURS INTO DRIVING, TRUCK LOOSES THROTTLE, SOLID CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, "SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL" SMOKE COMING FROM ENGINE BAY, SMELLED LIKE PLASTIC TO ME. FOUND WHAT LOOKED LIKE A MELTED QUARTER SIZED BOILING SPOT ON THE MANIFOLD? I BELIEVE. CHECKED THAT ENGINE LIGHT WAS SOLID, AND ON JUNE 19TH WAS TOLD IF LIGHT IS SOLID, IT'S SAFE TO DRIVE, IF IT'S BLINKING SHUT OFF IMEDIATELY. IT WAS SOLID. VACATION'S OVER, DRIVE BACK TO VEGAS AT ABOUT 40-50MPH (TRUCK WOULDN'T GO ANY FASTER) ON BLINKERS THE WHOLE WAY WITH MY FIANCEE IN THE PASSANGER SEAT, AND 3 YEAR OLD SON IN THE BACK SEAT. AN HOUR OURSIDE OF VEGAS, TRUCK WAS THROWING FLAME BALLS AND SPARKS OUT THE REAR, IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF TO THE DESERT, AND EVACUATED MY SON AND FIANCEE. GRABBED RED BULLS AND GREEN TEAS TO DOUSE THE FIRE. GOT THE FIRE OUT AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES. IF I DIDN'T NOTICE THE SPARKS OR FIREBALLS, OR IF A FUEL LINE CAUGHT ON FIRE, WE COULD HAVE DIED. THE ENTIRE UNDERSIDE OF THE TRUCK WAS BURNED AND THE DPF ON THE EXHAUST WAS GLOWING BRIGHT RED STILL. I SPOKE WITH AN ORIGINAL ENGINEER ON THE TRUCK, THROUGH A FACEBOOK GROUP FOR THESE TRUCKS, WHICH HE STATES 2 WEEKS PRIOR WHEN I TOOK THE TRUCK IN, THE EGR MUST HAVE STARTED MALFUNCTIONING, AND THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE BRUSHED ME OFF. WHICH LED TO IT STICKING OPEN, AND BLOWING A HOLE IN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD (THE BURNING PLASTIC SMELL) WHEN I WAS DRIVING BACK TO SAFETY (IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE), A REGENERATION OCCURED CAUSING THE DPF TO FILL UP, AND ESSENTIALLY EXPLODE, AND CATCH THE TRUCK ON FIRE. TRUCK IS AWAITING REPS FROM DETROIT.

WHILE WORKING ON MY TRUCK, I LEFT 1 BOX SITTING BESIDE THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE. I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING AND JUST THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD A FIREPLACE BURNING. MY SON CAME OUT AND ASKED ME WHY THE BOX WAS SMOKING. THE SUN REFLECTING FROM THE CHOME WHEEL CAUSED THE BOX TO CATCH ON FIRE. THIS OCCURRED ON 8 APRIL 2018 IN PASADENA, MD AT APPROX. 5 P.M. WILE THIS IS NOT A VEHICLE SPECIFIC ISSUE, IT SHOULD BE ADVISED TO OTHERS TO BE AWARE OF THE FIRE POTENTIAL CAUSED BY THE SUN REFLECTING FROM THE CHROME ON A VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY FAILED TO TURN IN THE IGNITION TO START THE VEHICLE. THE KEY WAS ALSO DIFFICULT TO REMOVE FROM THE IGNITION. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT AND MAINLY OCCURRED AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED AND ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE. TWO DEALERS (SHERWOOD CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE, 1915 N SALISBURY BLVD, SALISBURY, MD 21801, (410) 749-1301 AND SPIRIT CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP, 1945 KINGS HWY, SWEDESBORO, NJ 08085, (856) 467-2200) WERE CONTACTED, BUT DID NOT DIAGNOSIS THE VEHICLE. NEITHER DEALER MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V821000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, A LOUD TICKING SOUND COULD BE HEARD FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE DEALER (NEW HOLLAND CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 508 W MAIN ST, NEW HOLLAND, PA 17557) INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE SOUND WAS THE "HEMI TICK" AND COULD NOT FIND A FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS DRIVING AROUND A CURVE WHEN SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER STEERING. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE BEFORE GOING OFF OF THE COLVERT ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT THERE WASN'T ANY ONCOMING TRAFFIC IN THE OTHER LANE AND THAT I COULD SLOW DOWN TO PREVENT VEHICLE DAMAGE. THIS SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST IS VERY DANGEROUS! IT MAY NOT SOUND THAT BAD JUST LOSING POWER STEERING BUT WHEN YOU DO NOT EXPECT IT AND IT HAPPENS IT IS VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY AROUND CURVES OR AT THE STOP LIGHT MAKING A RIGHT AND TIGHT TURN. I AM A YOUNG MAN THAT CAN CONTROL NON POWER STEERING VEHICLES BUT NOT UNEXPECTEDLY!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE STEERING LOST POWER AND THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

TRUCK SAYS SERVICE POWER STEERING. TRUCK WILL NOT STEER AND IT'S ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL ENGINE WARMS UP, USING EXCESS GAS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I START MY RAM 1500. SO FAR, IT HASN'T HAPPENED YET WHILE I'M DRIVING, BUT ONLY TIME WILL TELL. FIAT AND MY DEALER ARE TRYING TO HELP ME. HOWEVER MY BASIC WARRANTY IS UP SO BOTH ARE SAYING IT'S NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. BOTH ALSO SAY THAT MY VIN DOESN'T MATCH ANY EFFECTED 2015 RAM 1500 THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM.

TRUCK HAS ECODIESEL ENGINE. HAD IT IN FOR ROUGH IDLE BUT COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE. AT 42141 MILES DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE EGR VALVE WENT OUT. THIS CAUSED THE TRUCK TO GO INTO LIMP MODE. THIS VALVE WAS NOT COVERED BY THE POWER TRAIN, EMISSIONS OR EXTEND WARRANTY. RAM WOULD NOT HELP EVEN THOUGH HAD IT IN BEFORE

TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY IN WINTER CONDITIONS THE TRUCKS ANTI-LOCK/ABS/TRACTION CONTROL /4X4 AND CRUISE CONTROL ALL STOPPED WORKING AND THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING. AT 65 MPH WHILE ACCELERATING WITH TRAFFIC UP HILL ON A CORNER ON WINTERY ROADS THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE JUST STOPPED WORKING AND THE TRACTION CONTROL WAS LOST. THE TRUCK WENT INTO SEVERAL 360 DEGREE SPINS AND CAM TO A STOP ON THE FAR RIGHT SHOULDER. NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE STRUCK AND I WAS ABLE TO AVOID THE BRIDGE ABUTMENT. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO LITHIA DODGE OF WASILLA I WAS TOLD THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED (48,100 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT) BUT THE DEALER COULD NOT GET THE TRUCK IN FOR OVER A WEEK. AFTER THE DEALER LOOKED AT THE TRUCK THEY REPLACED THE R-REAR SPEED SENSOR AND SAID THAT WAS THE ISSUE. I WENT TO PICK UP THE TRUCK AND THE ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED. I LEFT THE TRUCK AGAIN AT THE DEALER. THEY THEN INDICATED THE ISSUE WAS IN THE WIRING HARNESS. I TOOK THE TRUCK HOME TO INSPECT THE WIRING. I TESTED THE CONTINUITY OF THE CONDUCTORS THAT THE DEALER HAD INDICATED WERE THE ISSUE AND FOUND NO DEFECTS. I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK AND EXPLAINED MY FINDINGS, THEY INDICATED THAT THE TECH HAD "GUESSED" THAT THE ISSUE WAS THE HARNESS. AFTER RETURNING TO GET MY TRUCK THE DEALER SAID IT WAS REPAIRED, THEY HAD PERFORMED UNAUTHORIZED WORK, CUT MY HARNESS AND SPLICED AS THEY SAID THAT WAS THE ISSUE, BUT THE ISSUE WAS NOT FIXED. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO ANOTHER LITHIA DEALER WHO INDICATED THE HARNESS WAS DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR BY THE DEALER, YOU CANT SPLICE THE HARNESS(?) ACCORDING TO THE OTHER DEALER AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IN WHOLE. THEY COULD NOT WORK ON IT ANY MORE TO FIX THE ISSUE DUE TO THE HARNESS ISSUE CAUSED BY THE UNAUTHORIZED REPAIR PERFORMED BY THE OTHER LITHIA DEALER. TRUCK STILL HAS NO 4X4, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL OR CRUISE CONTROL. THIS FAILURECOULD BE A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AND RESULT IN ACCIDENTS.

REAR CAB 3RD BRAKE LIGHT LEAKS EXTREME AMOUNT OF WATER WHEN RAINING HARD. THERE ARE HUNDARDS OF VIDEO THAT HIGHLIGHT THIS ISSUE. WATER ENTERING THE CAB COULD POTENTIALLY START A FIRE OR SOME KIND OF ELECTRIC SHORT. CHRYSLER/RAM DOESN'T OFFER A SOLUTION TO FIX AT THEIR COST.

I BOUGHT MY 2015 RAM 1500 ON NOVEMBER 27, 2017. THE TRUCK LOOKED AS THOUGH IT HAD BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED AND TAKEN CARE OF. THE FIRST OR SECOND WEEK IN DECEMBER A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS PULLING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A FUEL PUMP SENSOR WHICH THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED. NOW AFTER A MONTH AND A HALF LATER, ANOTHER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS CAME ON WHILE PARKING AT A RESTAURANT. 3 CODES HAVE SHOWN UP FOR THIS CEL. THEY ARE P26AB, P26A7, AND P2681. THESE CODES HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ENGINE COOLANT BYPASS VALVE CONTROL. AFTER ONLY AN HOUR OF SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY THE FOLLOWING DAY THERE WAS A HUGE RAINBOW COLORED LEAK ON THE ASPHALT AND FLUID SETTLING AND DRIPPING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF THIS TRUCK SINCE I PURCHASED IT. IT IS JUST AS CLEAN AS THE DAY I TOOK IT OFF THE LOT. I AM WORRIED THAT THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS TRUCK NOW AND THAT THE DEALERSHIP WILL TRY AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ME AND THE FACT THAT THE WARRANTY WAS ONLY FOR 30 DAYS BECAUSE WHEN I PURCHASED IT THE VEHICLE WAS USED AND HAD 72000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS MY FIRST DODGE RAM TRUCK I HAVE EVER OWNED AND SO FAR I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE RELIABILITY. I WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ONE DAY THIS WEEK WHEN I CAN GET OFF OF WORK. HOPEFULLY THEY DON'T TRY TO "PULL ONE OVER" ON ME. ATTACHED IS THE LEAK IN MY DRIVEWAY AFTER AN HOUR OF BEING PARKED.

THE DEALER (LYNCH CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 282 EAST WOLF RUN, MUKWONAGO, WI 53149) STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

TRUCK HAD SUDDEN ACCELERATION TWICE AND IT COULDN'T BE STOPPED WITH THE BRAKES EITHER TIME. ONCE IT TOTALLY LOST POWER AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION IS VERY DANGEROUS ' MAKES THE TRUCK MOVE AT A HIGH SPEED SUDDENLY AND UNABLE TO BE STOPPED WITH THE BRAKES. WE DROVE THROUGH TWO FENCES. WE HAVE PICTURES OF THE FENCES AND THE TRACKS THE TRUCK MADE IN THE SNOW. *TT *AS *DT *JB

TAILGATE RANDOMLY OPENS WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ALLOWING BED CONTENTS TO POTENTIALLY FALL ONTO ROAD CREATING SAFETY HAZARD. APPEARS TO BE CONNECTED TO AUTO-LOCKING MECHANISM IN TAILGATE.

WHEN BELOW 20 DEGREES THE AIR SUSPENSION LOSES ITS ABILITY TO MAINTAIN PROPER RIDE HEIGHT. SOMETIMES THE TRUCK WILL SIT NOSE DOWN, REAR DOWN, OR ALL BUT ONE CORNER DOWN. USUALLY AFTER SITTING OUTSIDE IN THE COLDER TEMPS IS WHEN THE TRUCK STARTS TO DO THIS HOWEVER ONCE IT HAS DONE SO WHILE MOVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH. WHEN TRYING TO INFLATE THE AIR BAGS THE TRUCK TYPICALLY BLOWS THE 40A FUSE CONTROLLING THE AIR SUSPENSION WHICH RENDERS IT INOPERABLE UNTIL REPLACED. SEEMS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM IN ANY CLIMATE THAT SEES COLDER TEMPERATURES. BIGGEST ISSUE IS WHAT HAPPENS IF THE SYSTEM GIVES OUT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SORT OF SPEED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, IT ROLLED AWAY AND CRASHED INTO A 2015 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MYRTLE BEACH CHRYSLER JEEP (785 JASON BOULEVARD, MYRTLE BEACH, SC 29577) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHIFTER WAS MAKING AN ABNORMAL CLICKING NOISE, AND THE SHIFTER MODULE AND SHIFTER ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 32069249. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL AND THERE WAS NO MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,129. *BF *TR

TRUCK WAS IN PARK WAS OUT OF TRUCK FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES. TRUCK STARTING MOVING HIT END OF BRIDGE AND CAUSED APPROX. $2,500.00 DAMAGE TO TRUCK AND IT WAS STILL IN PARK. WAS LOOKING AT BRIDGE AT JOB SITE AND HAD WALKED BEHIND TRUCK TALKING TO JOB SUPERVISOR AND I\ THEY TOLD ME MY TRUCK WAS MOVING. LUCKY NOBODY WAS IN FRONT, COULD HAVE HURT SOMEBODY!! THERE WAS 2 WITNESS TO THIS BESIDE ME. RAM HAS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS. I WENT TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD TO APPLY PARKING BRAKE EVER TIME I EXIT PICKUP,THIS IS A PROBLEM AND THEY KNOW IT WHY SHOULD I APPLY BRAKE WHEN I PARK WHAT IS PARK FOR. THEY DIDN'T HAVR THERE NEW PICKUPS ON LOT PARKING BRAKES APPLY?

WE BOUGHT THIS PICKUP NEW FROM THE CHRYSLER DEALER IN SAN JOSE ON CAPITAL EXPRESSWAY. THE PROBLEM, WHICH I BELIEVE CAN TURN DEADLY, IS THAT THE FUEL FILLER TUBE ON THE VEHICLE IS DROPPING BELOW THE ENTRY CAP. IT GETS PUSHED FURTHER DOWN EVERYTIME YOU FILL IT UP. SOMETIMES YOU CAN NOT GET THE GAS FILLER HOSE OUT OF THE TANK. IT ONCE TOOK THREE PEOPLE TO GET IT REMOVED. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT TENDS TO LOOSEN THE NECK OF THE FILLER EVERY TIME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS "YEAH, WE KNOW ABOUT THAT BUT THERE IS NO FIX" I WROTE TO FIAT AND THEY BLEW IT OFF. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE, YOU ARE MY LAST RESORT. I HAD A PICTURE BUT ITS TOO HARD TO SEE WHAT GOING ON, I'M NOT SURE THAT'S A HELP. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY WHILE PUMPING IN GAS. YOU ARE REQUESTING A DATE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP.

I LIVE IN INTERNATIONAL FALLS, MINNESOTA AND OUR AREA RECENTLY SUSTAINED -30 BELOW FARENHEIT TEMPERATURES FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. DURING THIS COLD WEATHER, THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION SYSTEM QUIT WORKING AND I CURRENTLY HAVE NO SUSPENSION. I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON IN THE AREA THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH A DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCK WITH AIR RIDE SUSPENSION. I SPOKE WITH ANOTHER MALE ON 1/2/18 THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS 2016 DODGE RAM 1500 WITH AIR RIDE SUSPENSION. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING.

I TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A OIL PRESSURE SENSOR. THEY DID AN INSPECTION ON THE TRUCK AND FOUND THE PINION NUT LOOSE AND LEAKING OIL. THEY SAID IT WAS SAFETY RECALL P77 AND FIXED THE PROBLEM. I LOOKED UP P77 RECALL AND IT DID NOT INCLUDE 2015 TRUCKS. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT HOW MAN OTHER PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE THIS PROBLEM THAT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

PUT TRUCK IN PARK AND EXITED VEHICLE AND IT ROLLED AWAY IN DRIVE. RAN AFTER IT FOR 2 BLOCKS UNTIL IT JUMPED A CURB AND HALTED. NO INJURIES BUT COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS.

2015 DODGE RAM 2500 MEGA CAB 4X4 PICKUP TRUCK. THE AIRBAG IN A 2015 DODGE RAM 2500 TRUCK FAILED TO DEPLOY AFTER THE TRUCK WAS INVOLVED IN A SEVERE FRONTAL COLLISION. THE TRUCK HAD BEEN SUBJECT TO TWO PREVIOUS NHTSA SAFETY RECALLS CONCERNING AIR BAG RESTRAINT CONTROLS (NHTSA RECALLS #15V-460 & #17V-302) AND BOTH RECALLS HAD BEEN COMPLETED BY THE TRUCK DEALERSHIP. THE TRUCK WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WHEN IT WAS STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT FRONTAL DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS STRUCK WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO DISPLACE THE TRUCK REARWARD APPROXIMATELY 15 FEET. THE AIRBAG RESTRAINT FAILED TO DEPLOY DURING THE COLLISION AND THE IN-DASH MESSAGE SYSTEM IN THE TRUCK DISPLAYED A MESSAGE ABOUT AIRBAG REQUIRING SERVICE AT THE ACCIDENT SCENE. DRIVER REQUIRED AMBULANCE TRANSPORT TO THE HOSPITAL. THE AIRBAGS IN THE OTHER VEHICLE, WHICH STRUCK THIS TRUCK, DID DEPLOY AS EXPECTED, AND THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE IN WHICH THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED DID NOT REQUIRE AMBULANCE TRANSPORT. ## VIN PASSED ## DODGE RAM 2500 2015 ##

THE TRUCK BED TAILGATE IS HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE LOCKS. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK BED OPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON LOCAL HIGHWAYS. IN ADDITION THE BED IS NO LONGER STAYING UNLOCKED WITH THE OTHER LOCKS ON THE VEHICLE OR IT WILL STAY LOCKED WHEN THE REST OF THE TRUCK IS UNLOCKED. I HAVE LOOKED UP THE ISSUE AND FOUND SEVERAL FORUMS WITH SIMILAR SITUATIONS BUT MUCH MORE DANGEROUS RESULTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR A WHILE, THE NOISE LESSENED BUT NEVER WENT AWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANCIRA CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (10807 W INTERSTATE 10, SAN ANTONIO, TX 78230, (888) 992-3393) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO CONCERNED THAT WITH THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BEING FRACTURED, THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY OF EXHAUST GASES BEING DISPERSED INTO THE ATMOSPHERE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,000. *TT

PASSENGER SIDE REAR AXLE SHAFT WEARING PREMATURELY, WHERE THE OUTER AXLE BEARING ROLLS ON THE SHAFT, THE NORMAL, INTACT BEARING IS WEARING A DEEP GROOVE INTO THE SHAFT. APPEARS THAT THE SHAFT IS ABNORMALLY SOFT OR ABNORMAL STEEL MAKEUP. AXLE HAS HAD NORMAL MAINTINANCE, HAS NOT BEEN OVERLOADED, HAS HAD ADEQUATE OIL LEVEL IN AXLE HOUSING ITS WHOLE LIFE, AND THE DRIVER SIDE SHAFT IS NOT WEARING ABNORMALLY

WHEN IN MOTION, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES WITH "CHECK ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL" MESSAGE. VEHICLE ENTERS "LIMP" MODE AND WON'T ACCELERATE PROPERLY BECOMING A HAZARD TO OTHER TRAFFIC. THE OBD CODE RECEIVED IS P0299 - TURBO UNDERBOOST. THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE.

PARKED TRUCK IN DRIVEWAY. DRIVEWAY HAS SLIGHT INCLINE. PUT TRUCK INTO PARK AND WENT INSIDE HOUSE. NEIGHBOR CAME OVER TOLD ME MY TRUCK WAS IN MIDDLE OF ROAD. LIGHT SNOW ON DRIVE. LOOKED AT TRACKS CONFIRMED VEHICLE ROLLED AWAY NOT SLIDE. PULLED TRUCK BACK UP DRIVEWAY AND PUT TRUCK IN PARK. WHILE STILL IN VEHICLE TRUCK AGAIN ROLLED AWAY. CONFIRMED THIS BY LOOKING OUT DOOR AND SEEING TIRED ROLLING. PUT IN AND OUT SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE TRUCK STOPPED ROLLING.

VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING IT. NEEDS NEW TIPM ACCORDING TO SERVICE CENTER. THEY WON'T REPLACE IT UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY SAY WE MODIFIED IT BY WRAPPING A PIECE OF HEAVY DUTY WIRE AROUND THE BOLT FOR POWER IN THE TIPM. SERVICE PEOPLE STATED TWICE THAT IF WE REMOVED THE WIRE, IT WOULD PUT THE TRUCK BACK TO FACTORY CONDITION AND IT WOULD BE FIXED UNDER THE WARRANTY. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE SERVICE CENTER TWICE AND THEY STILL REFUSE TO FIX THE TRUCK UNDER WARRANTY. THE WIRE IS A TEMPORARY SOLUTION TO KEEP THE TRUCK RUNNING AND HAS COME LOOSE ON OCCASION WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT WE DON'T FEEL WE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR.

RAM 1500 BIG HORN WAS STOPPED IN FRONT OF MY HOME GARAGE, IDLING IN PARK. I DISMOUNTED TO CLOSE BOTH OUTSIDE MIRRORS WHEN THE VEHICLE SHIFTED ITSELF TO DRIVE. IT PROCEEDED INTO THE GARAGE AND HOUSE WALL CAUSING EXTENSIVE STRUCTURAL DAMAGE. SEE NHTSA INVESTIGATION PE16-014 FOR SIMILAR ACCIDENTS.

I PUT MY TRUCK IN PARK ON THE ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL WITH ENGINE RUNNING WALKED AWAY ABOUT 20 YARDS WHEN THE TRUCK STARTED ROLLING I TRIED TO RUN AFTER IT BUT ONLY GOT MYSELF HURT AND THE TRUCK TOOK OUT A MAILBOX AND FENCE.THESE ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTERS ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED. IM NOW AFRAID OF IT ITS NOT TO BE TRUSTED I ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS ON.I WAS LUCKY WHEN IT ROLLED ACROSS THE ROAD IT DID NOT HIT ANOTHER CAR

MY TRUCK WAS IDLING IN PARK WITH BRAKE ON. MY TRUCK JUMPED OUT OF PARK INTO DRIVE AND RAN INTO A TREE WITH NO BODY IN DRIVERS SEAT.

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL MALFUNCTION(LIGHTNING BOLT), LOW POWER. WAS TOLD 1.5 WEEKS FOR APPOINTMENT. 1 WEEK LATER 'DPF 100% FULL, SEE DEALER'. DEALER DID FORCED REGEN, CLEARED CODES, BACK TO NORMAL. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY WARNINGS ABOUT DPF BECOMING FULL. NO EARLY REGEN NOTIFICATION.

THE VEHICLE'S TAILGATE WILL RANDOMLY OPEN WHILE MOVING ALLOWING EVERYTHING IN THE BED TO COME OUT, THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE'S TAILGATE, CONTENTS, AND LAST TIME NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT TO TRAILING VEHICLES. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE HAPPENED WITHIN TWO MONTHS OF PURCHASING THE TRUCK NEW IN 2015. I ASSUMED THAT I HAD SIMPLY NOT LATCHED THE TAILGATE WELL. SINCE THEN IT HAS OCCURRED MORE FREQUENTLY, LAST TIME ON OCTOBER 20TH, 2017, WHEN IT HAPPENED TWICE IN ONE DAY. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT IT IS RELATED TO A FAULTY METAL TAB THAT IS BEING BROKEN OFF BY A MOVING PLASTIC PIECE CONNECTING THE LATCH TO THE ELECTRIC LOCK. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP, A SERVICE BULLETIN WAS RELEASED ABOUT A WEEK AGO, ALTHOUGH THEY CLAIM THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THE ISSUE FOR YEARS. NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. I FIRST SPOKE TO RAM AFTER MY TAILGATE OPENED WHILE I HAD A TRAILER ATTACHED CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE TAILGATE. I CALLED THEM ON JULY 20TH, 2017, THEY DENIED ANY RESPONSIBILITY. I CALLED THEM AGAIN OCTOBER 20TH, 2017 AFTER MY TAILGATE OPENED AND A BOX CONTAINING A CEILING FAN CAME OUT. THE BOX NARROWLY MISSED THE TWO VEHICLES TRAVELLING BEHIND ME. SO FAR, THEY HAVE TOLD ME TO LEAVE MY VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP AND MY CASE MANAGER HAS NOT RETURNED ANY OF MY CALLS. IT HAS BEEN THERE FOR 7 DAYS. AN ARTICLE DESCRIBING THE ISSUE CAN BE FOUND HERE: HTTPS://WWW.TORQUENEWS.COM/3768/OWNERS-2015-RAM-1500S-ARE-STUNNED-TAILGATES-FALLING-OPEN-WHILE-DRIVING.

P0299 UNDER BOOST CODES. AFTER BEING THROWN INTO LIMP MODE AND ALMOST GETTING ME AND MY FAMILY KILLED I GOT MY DODGE ECODIESEL TO THE DEALERSHIP. SAID ITS A SOFTWARE ISSUE AND THERE IS NO FIX. WAS TOLD TO THAT ITS FINE AFTER THEY JUST CLEARED THE ENGINE LIGHT. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!! JUST SEND THEM BACK OUT IN THE DEATH TRAP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500 ECO DIESEL. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE. THE CONTACT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A FIRE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER (SKINNER AND DAMULIS, 3144 US-20, RICHFIELD SPRINGS, NY 13439) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS NO MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE MANUFACTURER INVESTIGATED THE FAILURE AND CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS NO MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

ONE DAY LAST WEEK I WOKE UP AND MY LEFT REAR STEERING WHEEL CONTROL BUTTON STOPPED FUNCTIONING. (TURNS THE RADIO STATION TUNING DOWN) ALSO THE HIGH MOUNTED REVERSE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK WHEN IN REVERSE. I ALSO HAD A BLOWN HIGH MOUNTED REAR BRAKE LIGHT BULB OUT WHICH WAS REPLACED. HORN WORKS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO DO TO DIAGNOSTIC COST.

EXHAUST FUMES FILL CABIN: 2015 4X4 ECODIESEL. WHEN DRIVING IN SLOW TRAFFIC SPEEDS OF LESS THAN 30 MPH OR STOPPED, THE CABIN BECOMES FILLED WITH EXHAUST FUMES. THIS APPEARS TO BE COMING IN THROUGH THE VENTILATION SYSTEM, AS IT IS QUITE NOTICEABLE WHEN IT IS BLOWING DIRECTLY IN YOUR FACE. IT HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND STRONGER OVER TIME. WHILE THE TRUCK IS MOVING AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT IS NOT NOTICED, OR AT LEAST AS COMPARED TO WHAT IS NOTICED WHEN AT LOWER SPEEDS OR WHEN STOPPED. THE FUMES CONTINUE TO INCREASE AND BECOME QUITE HEAVY WHILE OPERATING AT THE SLOWER SPEEDS OR STOPPED. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ADDRESSED IN A RECALL (R04) FOR 2014 AND 2015 RAM 4X2 ECODIESELS BUT NOT IN RAM 4X4 ECODIESELS AS OF 10/5/17.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, IT CAUGHT FIRE AND BURST INTO FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOWING LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I OWN A 2015 RAM 1500 BIG HORN CREW CAB WITH 8 SPEED (8HP70) TRANSMISSION. THE TRUCK INTERMITENTLY ISSUES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND GOES AWAY A FEW TIMES THROUGH OUT THE DAY AND OR WILL STAY OFF. OBDII CODE P1D8C IS STORED CURRENTLY IN THE CAR. THIS IS THE CODE THAT SAYS (PARKING PRAWL SELONOID IN OPEN POSITION) THIS IS CLOSE IF NOT THE SAME ISSUE IN 8HP70 TRANSMISSION IN OTHER VEHICLES OF OTHER YEARS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE ONE DAY I WOULDN'T KNOW IF THE TRUCK IS ACTUALLY IN PARK MECHANICALLY OR NOT. CURRENTLY I HAVE NOT SEEN A RECALL FOR MY CURRENT YEAR MODEL TRUCK BUT BRINGING IT TO YOUR ATTENTION AS THERE ARE SAME OR SIMILAR RECALLS FOR THE SAME TRANSMISSION IN OTHER MODELS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON WHEN IN MOTION AND ALSO WHEN PARKED, SOMETIMES IT'LL GO AWAY BOTH WHILE MOVING OR PARKED.

VEHICLE WAS IN PARK RUNNING AND UNOCCUPIED FOR APPROXIMATELY 4 MINUTES WHEN THE VEHICLE ROLLED AWAY BACKWARDS STRIKING A LARGE TREE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STUTTERED AND HESITATED. THE CONTACT HEARD A DRAGGING NOISE UNDER THE VEHICLE AND THE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE DRIVE SHAFT WAS LOOSE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ROB LAMBDIN'S UNIVERSITY DODGE RAM (5455 S UNIVERSITY DR, DAVIE, FL 33328 (954) 332-1421) FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,705.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. AS SOON AS THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND A CHIME WAS HEARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (ALAN SAMUELS CHRYSLER/JEEP/DODGE IN WACO, TEXAS) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A TCM FAILURE THAT CAUSED THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR TO ILLUMINATE. THE TCM NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, IT INDEPENDENTLY SHIFTED INTO RESERVE AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES.

2015 DODGE RAM 1500. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SAFETY RECALL APPOINTMENT. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SCHEDULE AN RECALL REPAIR APPOINTMENT. THE CONSUMER SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH A DIFFERENT DEALER. UPDATED 09/21/2017*JS

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH MY 2015 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL GAS PEDAL GETTING STUCK. FIRST TIME WAS ON 7/07/17. I WANTED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ON A STOP SIGN. AS I TOUCHED THE PEDAL WITH MY FOOT, IT SUNK TO THE BOTTOM AND THE TRUCK STARTED ACCELERATING LIKE CRAZY, THE TIRES SQUEAKED AND THE TRUCK TILTED TO THE LEFT. THE RMP WENT UP TO 3 AND THE LIGHTNING BOLT MESSAGE LIT UP. I THOUGHT WE WOULD FLIP OR CRASH INTO SOMETHING BUT LUCKILY I MANAGED TO GET THE TRUCK UNDER CONTROL AND ENDED UP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK AS THE PEDAL STAYED IN THE SINKING POSITION. HAD MY FOUR CHILDREN WITH ME IN THE TRUCK, THEY ALL STARTED CRYING HYSTERICALLY AND KEPT ASKING, "MOM WHAT IS GOING ON WITH OUR TRUCK?" ABOUT 3 MIN. LATER IT WAS RELEASED. BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND GOT THE ACCELERATOR SENSOR REPLACED. THE SAME PROBLEM REPEATED ON 7/16/17. THIS TIME ON A HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 60MPH. BROUGHT BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP, WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WAS ASKED TO TAKE A PICTURE OR VIDEO IF THE PROBLEM OCCURS AGAIN. ARE THEY SERIOUS? HOW CAN YOU DO THAT WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO GET YOUR VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL AND ARE SCARED FOR YOUR LIFE? SAME ISSUE ON 8/15/17 AS WE CAME OUT OF A DRIVEWAY UNTO A WINDY ROAD AT ABOUT 15MPH. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED LIKE CRAZY ALMOST CAUSING US TO HIT THE GUARDRAIL ON THE SIDE. GOOD THING THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND WE MANAGED TO STOP THE TRUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE TRUCK IS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP. THEY WANT ME TO COME AND PICK IT UP BUT I AM SCARED FOR MY LIFE TO DRIVE IN IT. THEY SUGGESTED THAT I COME AND DRIVE IT WITH A TECH. HOPING IT WOULD DUPLICATE. THERE IS NOTHING SPECIFIC THAT CAUSES IT TO HAPPEN. IT JUST HAPPENS OUT OF NOWHERE, NO SPECIFIC SPEED, PLACE OR TIME. I JUST WANT A SAFE CAR FOR MY FAMILY. I HAVE 4 CHILDREN THAT DRIVE WITH ME EVERY DAY, CAN'T RISK THEIR LIVES.

MY RADIO SCREEN WENT BLACK WHERE YOU COULD SEE NOTHING ON IT NO MATTER WHAT CONTROLLERS YOU TRIED TO SWITCH. THIS HAPPENED ALMOST ON EVERY TRIP. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT ON WAS TO PULL OVER AND LET THE VEHICLE STAND FOR A LITTLE BIT UNTIL IT COOLS DOWN, THEN IT WOULD TURN BACK ON. BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP WAS TOLD THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN RELATED TO THE RADIO SECURITY RECALL. GOT THE RADIO SOFTWARE UPDATED. THE PROBLEM DID NOT COMPLETELY DISAPPEAR. THE RADIO SCREEN LIGHT STARTED DIMMING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, AND THEN GETTING BRIGHTER. OFF AND ON, NO MATTER WHAT TIME OF DAY AND HOW DARK OR BRIGHT IT IS OUTSIDE. IT IS VERY DISTRACTING ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. I ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM AT THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY TOLD ME IT DOES THAT FOR SAFETY REASONS. WONDER WHY IT DIDN'T HAPPEN TO THE RENTAL TRUCK THAT THEY HAD ME DRIVE WHILE MY TRUCK WAS IN THE SHOP?? ANOTHER ISSUE I HAD WAS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON FOR A FULL DAY. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THAT THEY DID NOT GET ANY SIGNAL OR A MALFUNCTION CODE. AT THE END OF THE DAY IN TURNED OFF.

AIR BAG IN STEERING WHEEL DID NOT DEPLOY. HEAD ON COLLISON. UPDATED 09/21/17 *BF *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE WENT INTO IDLE MODE AND STALLED. THE LIGHTING BOLT WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO STEPHENS AUTO CENTER (104 STEPHENS ST, DANVILLE, WV 25053) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT AN UNKNOWN SENSOR NEEDED TO BE RESET. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000.

VEHICLE IS A 2015 RAM 1500 TRUCK WITH 8-SPEED TRANSMISSIONS AND "DIAL-A-GEAR" ELECTRONIC GEAR SELECTOR. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO A GAS STATION AND PULLED UP NEXT TO A GAS PUMP. DRIVER EXITED THE VEHICLE, AND REALIZED THAT THEY NEEDED TO PULL FORWARD ABOUT 2 MORE FEET TO BETTER ALIGN THE TRUCK WITH THE GAS PUMP. THE DRIVER GOT BACK INTO THE TRUCK, TURNED THE KNOB TO "DRIVE," AND PULLED FORWARD. ONCE THE TRUCK WAS STOPPED, THE DRIVER TURNED THE KNOB TO "PARK" AND EXITED THE TRUCK. AS THE DRIVER STEPPED OUT OF THE TRUCK IT BEGAN TO MOVE BACKWARDS, CAUSING THE DRIVER'S DOOR TO IMPACT THE POLE PROTECTING THE PUMPS, AND OVER-EXTENDING THE DOOR AND HINGES BEYOND NORMAL OPERATION. THE DRIVER QUICKLY JUMPED BACK INTO THE TRUCK AND STOPPED IT'S MOVEMENT, AND THEN VERIFIED THAT THE GEAR SELECTOR WAS SHOWING "PARK." THE DRIVER WAS UNINJURED, BUT THE INCIDENT RESULTED IN $2,200.00 OF DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK WAS MOVED FORWARD AGAIN, THE DOOR PULLED BACK TO A NORMAL POSITION, THE GEAR SELECTION KNOB AGAIN TURNED TO THE "PARK" POSITION, AND THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION WAS CONFIRMED TO BE IN "PARK." THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AT QUIKTRIP GAS STATION #764 ON AUGUST 10, 2017. IT WAS CAPTURED ON THE LOCATION'S SURVEILLANCE VIDEO SYSTEM ON CAMERAS "GAS LEFT" AND "PARKING LEFT" STARTING AT THE TIME OF 15:50:33, WITH THE ACTUAL INCIDENT BETWEEN 15:51:26 AND 15:51:29. VIDEO CAN BE REQUESTED THROUGH QUIKTRIP'S CORPORATE OFFICE AT 770-368-1616.

MY RAM TRUCK WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. I WENT OUT AND STARTED MY TRUCK, WENT BACK INSIDE THE HOUSE TO GATHER MY THINGS APPROXIMATELY 2-3 MINUTES. WHEN I CAME BACK OUT TO MY DRIVEWAY MY TRUCK HAD STARTED TO ROLL DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND ENDED UP CRASHING INTO MY NEIGHBORS FENCE. THE TRUCK WAS IN PARK WHEN STARTED AND SOMEHOW CAME OUT OF GEAR OR HAD A COMPUTER FAILURE ON THE ROTARY SHIFT KNOB. THE DIAL INDICATOR WAS STILL IN PARK WHEN I ENTERED THE VEHICLE AFTER THE ROLL AWAY.

THIS TRUCK JERKS INTO FIRST AND SECOND GEAR WHEN SLOWING DOWN. THIS TRANSMISSION DEFECT LUNGES THE TRUCK FORWARD IN A VERY ABRUPT AND SURPRISING MANNER. THE TRUCK IS DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, SPECIFICALLY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC.

I WAS HIT HEAD ON BY A DRUNK DRIVER. I WAS DOING SIXTY MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE IMPACT OCCURRED. MY TRUCK FLIPPED THREE TIMES BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. NONE OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED.

I OWN A 2015 DODGE ECODIESEL AND IT HAS NOW ACTUALLY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING TWICE, BOTH TIMES PLACING US IN GREAT DANGER. THE FIRST TIME MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD TO CALL IN THEIR "HEAD ENGINEERS" TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. AFTER SEVERAL DAYS, THEY FINALLY IDENTIFIED THAT THE TRUCK NEEDED MANY (I THINK THEY QUOTED AROUND 20) SOFTWARE UPDATES. HOWEVER, WE NEVER GOT NOTICE THAT THE TRUCK NEEDED THESE UPDATES AND/OR THAT IF IT DIDN'T GET THESE UPDATES THAT IT COULD JUST STOP WORKING AT ANY TIME. THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS HAPPENED, I WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK LATER AT NIGHT (AWAY FROM HOME) WITH 2 SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND THE TRUCK SHUT DOWN BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO FIND SOMEWHERE TO PULL OVER ON A COUNTY ROAD WITH NO SHOULDER. WE RECENTLY HAD A FAMILY KILLED IN COLLIN COUNTY DUE TO A VEHICLE SLOWING AND A DRIVER BEHIND COLLIDING INTO THE VEHICLE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, SO YOU CAN SEE HOW THIS HAS ME EVEN MORE TERRIFIED THAT WE HAVE A VEHICLE THAT DOES THIS WITHOUT OUR CONTROL. I AM APPALLED THAT DODGE IS ABLE TO PUT A VEHICLE ON THE ROAD THAT CAN JUST SHUT DOWN FOR NO GOOD REASON PUTTING PEOPLE IN GRAVE DANGER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ON IN THE TRUCK DESPITE IT SEEMINGLY WORKING OKAY, FOR NOW. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND THEY ARE NOW SAYING THAT BECAUSE WE ARE SLIGHTLY OVER MILES THAT THE WARRANTY MAY NOT COVER THE FIX TO WHATEVER IS ALL OF THE SUDDEN WRONG WITH A 2 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. AGAIN, HOW IS DODGE ALLOWED TO USE THIS SOFTWARE THAT REQUIRES UPDATES (EVEN THOUGH THEY DO NOT NOTIFY DRIVERS) THAT IS ACTUALLY SHUTTING DOWN VEHICLES? WHAT IS THE SOFTWARE ACTUALLY DOING?I FEEL THAT DODGE SHOULD PROVIDE A GUARANTEE THAT THIS TRUCK WILL NEVER DO THIS AGAIN, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT IS EVEN POSSIBLE. I WOULD LIKE ANSWERS FROM DODGE ASAP.

TOOK DELIVERY 10/20/15. LESS THAN ONE MONTH LATER ON 11/11/15, THE TRUCK BEGAN TO HAVE A PRETTY STRONG JERK UPON ACCELERATION AND/OR SLOWING DOWN MAKING IT FEEL LIKE YOU COULDN'T STOP COMPLETELY AND/OR THAT YOU WERE BEING REAR ENDED. IN FACT ON 4/8/16, IT JERKED ME UP ONTO A CONCRETE STOPPER AT TACO BELL, IN DADE CITY, FL. ONE YEAR LATER, UPON ACCELERATION A CLUNKING NOISE IN THE REAR END STARTED HAPPENING. SO ON 10/10/16 (ONE YEAR LATER), 25,000 MILES LATER, AND AFTER NUMEROUS TIMES IN/OUT OF THE SHOP, WHERE THE TECHS CLAIMED THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE IT OR SAID "THAT WAS THE WAY THE TRANSMISSION WORKED AND THAT THEY HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER DODGE RAM TRUCK DRIVERS ABOUT THE SAME THING, INCLUDING EMPLOYEES THAT OWNED THEM" THEY SAID THE DRIVESHAFT SLIP STICK WAS CAUSING THE CLUNKING, SO THEY REPLACED THE DRIVESHAFT OR PROPELLER SHAFT. THE CLUNKING AND JERKING STOPPED. FOUR MONTHS LATER ON 2/23/17 THE SAME STRONG JERKING STARTED AGAIN. TECHS CONTINUALLY STATED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE JERKING, BUT THE MINUTE I WOULD LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP IT WOULD JERK. I HAVE A DISABLED PLACARD AND FREQUENTLY PARK IN A DISABLED SPOT. UPON PULLING UP, THE TRUCK JERKS FORWARD AND I'VE NEARLY HIT THE DISABLED POLE. MY FEAR IS THAT IT IS GOING TO JERK FORWARD AND CAUSE ME TO HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE OR WORSE YET, A PERSON IN A CROSSWALK. PLEASE NOTE: I DO NOT HAVE A WAY TO UPLOAD ANY DOCUMENTS FROM HOME, BUT WOULD BE HAPPY TO FROM WORK, IF YOU NEED THEM. I HAVE ALL OF MY RECEIPTS AND HAVE DOCUMENTED EVERYTHING.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD. THE TRANNY DOES IT SOMETIMES. IT COULD BE WARM OR COLD. ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE ITS RACING BEFORE SHIFTING. DEALERSHIP SAYS I HAVE TO WAIT FOR A LIGHT COMES ON OR A MESSAGE. 3 TIMES I TOOK IT IN FOR THAT PROBLEM . NOW 2DAYS AGO ...AS I WAS TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY THE TRUCK POPPED INTO PARK. I WAS TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY. NOW WHAT'S THAT ALL ABOUT???? NOW....NO ONE CAN GIVE ME A STRAIGHT ANSWER. I HATE TO GIVE THIS UP AND GO BACK TO FORD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V302000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. SOUTH POINT DODGE OF TUSLA, OKLAHOMA WAS MADE AWARE OF THE RECALL AND STATED THAT THEY WERE NOT READY, AND WOULD CALL THE CONTACT WHEN THEY ARRIVED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK THERE WAS A THUMP SOUND WHICH CAUSE THE TRUCK TO STALL CAUSING TRUCK TO SLOW DOWN INSTANTLAY. HOWEVER IT DOES THIS FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN IT WILL ACCELERATE AND CONTINUE ON DRLIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES EVEN AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT IT HAS NO CERTAIN SPEED THAT IT WILL DO IT. IT JUST HAPPENS RANDOMLY WITH NO SPECIFIC SPEED WHEN IT HAPPENS. IT HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE AND ON A REGULAR HIGHWAY ROAD THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE IN SPEED EACH TIME.

VEHICLE WAS RUNNING AND LEFT IN PARK. WENT IN REVERSE AND CRASHED INTO A COLUMN.

HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING 2 TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK. THE FIRST TIME THE RADIO AND DASH CLUSTER STOPPED WORKING THEN THE TRUCK ENGINE SHUT OFF DOING 80 DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE SECOND TIME IT WAS JUST THE ENGINE THAT SHUT OFF DOING 60 MPH ON A 2 LANE ROAD

ECO DIESEL ENGINE HAS BEEN SERVICED THREE TIMES FOR "ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL" FAILURE. ONCE IDIOT LIGHT COMES ON TRUCK LOSES ALL POWER. CURRENTLY IN DEALERSHIP TO BE SERVICED AND I'M BEING TOLD THAT CHRYSLER IS UNAWARE OF A CURRENT FIX. THE FIRST TIME IN WAS TOLD THAT A HOSE HAD TO BE REPLACED. SECOND TIME THAT IT WAS A PROGRAMMING UPDATE, NOW THEY DON'T KNOW.

ON 6/12/17 I BACKED OUT OF MY GARAGE AND SHIFTED THE TRUCK INTO PARK.(ELECTRONIC ROTARY DIAL SHIFTER MOUNTED ON DASH) I EXITED THE TRUCK TO RETRIEVE AN ITEM IN THE GARAGE, LEAVING THE TRUCK RUNNING. MY 10 YEAR OLD SON, WHO WAS INSIDE THE TRUCK, SCREAMED TO ALERT ME. I OBSERVED MY TRUCK IN MOTION MOVING FORWARD TOWARD MY GARAGE.(NOT COASTING AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL BUT RATHER IN DRIVE). I ATTEMPTED TO GET BACK INTO TRUCK TO APPLY BRAKE BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE TRUCK IMPACTED THE EXTERIOR OF MY GARAGE BETWEEN THE DOORS WITH MY SON INSIDE THE TRUCK. HE WAS SEAT BELTED AND UNINJURED, PHYSICALLY. UPON ENTERING THE TRUCK I OBSERVED THE GEAR SELECTOR TO BE IN PARK. I IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED INTO REVERSE BACKING UP APPROXIMATELY 15-20 FEET. I SHIFTED THE TRUCK INTO PARK AND AGAIN EXITED THE TRUCK TO SURVEY THE DAMAGE. THE TRUCK AGAIN BEGAN MOVING FORWARD AS IF IN DRIVE. I WAS ABLE TO APPLY THE BRAKE REACHING IN WITH MY HANDS TO DO SO. I AGAIN OBSERVED THE TRANSMISSION TO BE IN PARK. I SHUT THE IGNITION OFF AT THIS POINT. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THIS EVENT I ATTEMPTED TO REPLICATE IT IN MY DRIVEWAY APPROXIMATELY 20-30 TIMES, SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO PARK AND LETTING MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. I WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE IT IN THESE ATTEMPTS. MY TRUCK SUSTAINED JUST OVER $3,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE. I HAVE NOT AT THIS TIME GOTTEN AN ESTIMATE FOR THE DAMAGE TO MY HOME. THE MAJOR CONCERN I HAVE PERTAINS TO THE FACT MY SON WAS INSIDE THE TRUCK AND MY DAUGHTERS PLAYING NEARBY WHEN THIS EVENT OCCURRED. LATER THAT EVENING WHILE RESEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS TRANSMISSION I LOCATED NHSTA INVESTIGATION PE 16-014 AND FEEL I HAVE EXPERIENCED A SIMILAR ISSUE AS THOSE PREVIOUSLY REPORTED TO THE NHTSA. OUR SECOND FAMILY VEHICLE IS MY WIFE'S 2014 DODGE DURANGO WITH THE SAME TRANSMISSION AND SUBJECT TO THE SAME NHTSA INVESTIGATION PE 16-014.

2015 DODGE RAM 1500. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT UNABLE TO REPAIR VEHICLE HEADLIGHT ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD FLICKER AND GO OUT WHILE ON HIGH OR LOW BEAMS. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. *JS

TAKATA RECALL- I WAS IN A HEAD ON COLLISION, WHERE I T-BONED A LADY THAT CUT ME OFF WHILE GOING APPROX. 40MPH. AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED.

I WAS BACKING MY TRUCK TO HOOK UP TO TRAILER I STOP TRUCK PUT IN PARK FROM REVERSELEFT MOTOR RUNNING GOT OUT STARTED WALKING TO BACK OF TRUCK WHEN THE TRUCK STARTED GOING FORWARD . I TRIED TO CATCH ITI GOT DOOR ALMOST OPEN WHEN I WAS CRUSHED BETWEEN MY TRUCK AN A PARKED FORD PICKUP I WENT TO HOSPITAL FOR CT SCAN LUCKY ONLY HIP CONTOSTION . DONE LOTS OF DAMAGE TO BOTH TRUCKS . I BELIEVE THE TRANSMISSION WENT INTO GEAR ON ITS ON ME GETTING HURT WAS MY FAULT FOR TRYING TO STOP TRUCK . I WAS IN MY ON YARD WHEN THIS HAPPEN.

APRIL 14, 2017 MY HUSBAND WAS HEADING EAST ON I-20 IN THE TYLER, TEXAS AREA LOCATED IN SMITH COUNTY TEXAS.APPROACHING HIS TURN OFF AT HWY 14. WHEN EXITING ON THE RAMP HE NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. HE LOOKED AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND HE BEGAN LOSING POWER. HE WAS ABLE TO PULL TO A LARGE PARKING AREA AWAY FROM OTHERS. HE GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND APPROACHED THE HOOD WHEN HE NOTICED FLAMES COMING FROM THE ENGINE. HE BACKED AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE AT THAT TIME AND CALLED 911. OUR VEHICLE IS NOT A TOTAL LOSS. LAST FALL WE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM $6500 WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 20,000 MILES ON IT. NOW AT LITTLE OVER 30,000 MILES IT'S A TOTAL LOSS. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRSYLER AND THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO SEND INSPECTORS TO SEE IF THEY CAN DETERMINE THE CAUSE. INSURANCE INSPECTORS ARE ALSO COMING THIS WEEK TOO. I'VE READ A LOT OF NEGATIVES FOR THIS TRUCK AND SAW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 4X2'S FOR WIRING ISSUES THAT COULD SHORT AND CAUSE A FIRE. OUR TRUCK WAS A LONE STAR 4X4 AND NOT UNDER THIS RECALL. I THINK THESE VEHICLES NEED TO BE LOOKED AT HARDER!! TOO MANY ISSUES FROM TOO MANY OWNERS.

THE STEERING VIBRATIONS ARE GETTING WORSE AND WORSE. I CALLED SAN ANTONIO DODGE FROM WHICH I PURCHASED THE TRUCK AND GAVE THEM THE RECALL NUMBER AND THE VIN NUMBER AND WAS TOLD THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE AT THEIR LOCATION AND TO WAIT FOR THE SECOND RECALL LETTER. I TOLD THEM (HER) THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND RECALL LETTER, SO I WAS FOREWARDED TO AN "ADVISOR" WHO NEVER PICKED UP THE PHONE. I LEFT A MESSAGE AS TO MY PROBLEMS, MY NAME AND PHONE NUMBER. THE DATE IS 3/29/2015 AT 5:10PM. I WANT TO DOCUMENT MY EFFORT TO CLEAR THIS PROBLEM AND THE RESPONSE I AM GETTING FROM THE SAN ANTONIO DODGE DEALERSHIP. NOTE: I HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO VIBRATE AT ABOUT 73MPH AND GETS WORSE AS THE SPEED INCREASES TO THE POINT THAT THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO SHAKE THE FRONT END MECHANISM LOOSE. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE AT THE START BUT IS PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE TO THE POINT THAT IT IS BECOMING A SAFETY HAZARD. THE PROBLEM STARTED APPROXIMATELY AT 17,000 MILES AND CONTINUES TO GET WORSE AT 19,000 MILES.

MY 2015 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL HAS LOST FUNCTION OF THE GAS PEDAL THREE TIMES. EACH TIME THE LOSS IS PRECEDED WITH A "SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL" MESSAGE. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM IN THE FIRST 2 SERVICE ATTEMPTS AND THE ISSUE HAS OCCURRED WITHIN 200 DRIVING MILES, MOSTLY HIGHWAY. THE FIRST 2 TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, MOVING UNDER 30MPH AND GENERALLY DECELERATING UNDER BRAKING. THE 3RD TIME THIS OCCURRED I WAS TRAVELING 70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY WITH MODERATE THROTTLE INPUT AND THE THROTTLE COMPLETELY LOST FUNCTION. THIS RESULTED IN THE NEED FOR AN EMERGENCY EXIT FROM THE FREEWAY WHILE COASTING WITH NO CONTROL OF THE THROTTLE, A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO SAY THE LEAST. THE DATE ENTERED BELOW IS THE DATE OF THE LAST OCCURRENCE ON THE FREEWAY.

WE WHERE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT THE CONSOLE DISPLAY SAID TO PLACE THE VEHICLE INTO PARK. THE DASHBOARD THEN LOST POWER AND SMOKE STARTED TO COME OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD IT WAS A LIGHT GRAY AT FIRST BUT QUICKLY CHANGED TO BROWN AND THE FLAMES WHERE COMING OUT. I HAD JUST ENOUGH TIME TO GET OUT AND GET MY 6YR OLD SON OUT OF HIS CAR SEAT AND THEN CALL 911. WITHIN A COUPLE OF MINUTES THE ENGINE WAS IN FLAMES.

WHILE AT HOME DEPOT I REMOTE STARTED MY TRUCK AND PLACED LUMBER IN THE BED. I PROCEEDED TO THE DRIVER'S DOOR AND WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR THE TRUCK WENT IN REVERSE KNOCKING ME TO THE GROUND CAUSING A LACERATION REQUIRING 8 STAPLES, CONCUSSION, LOWER BACK AND SHOULDER PAIN AND BRUISING. THE TRUCK CONTINUED ACROSS THE PARKING LOT HITTING A FORD RANGER CAUSING MAJOR DAMAGE, CONTINUING INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE GMC CM3500 CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE. MY LARAMIE SUFFERED MAJOR DAMAGE TO REAR BUMPER, TAILGATE, AND REAR DRIVER SIDE PANEL. WE ARE JUST LUCKY THERE WERE NO OTHERS WALKING IN THE AREA AT THE TIME. MY 2015 LARAMIE HAS A ROTARY SHIFTER AND IT WAS IN PARKED POSITION AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. I FEEL THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE ROTARY SHIFTER WHICH CASED THIS ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN.

AFTER DIRECT FRONTAL IMPACT TO REAR OF STATIONARY SEMI TRACTOR TRAILOR ON AN INTERSTATE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC THE DRIVER STRUCK STEERING WHEEL WITH SEAT BELT ON RESULTING IN MODERATE INJURY REQUIRING TRANSPORT TO EMERGENCY ROOM FOR EVALUATION BUT NOT HOSPITALIZATION. SPEED ESTIMATED AT ABOUT 30 MPH. EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO FRONT END OF VEHICLE. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. SEE PICTURES.

"TAKATA RECALL" RAM 1500 ; 2015 YEAR. I THINK HAVE A MANUFACTURE DIFFECT . AFTER 6 MONTH OF DRIVING RAM 1500 , LIGHT IS ON " CHECK ENGINE" TRACK STILL HAVE MANUFACTURE WARRANTY, I' BE BEEN THREE TIMES AT SERVICE THEY DIDN'T FIXED IT.MY FRIEND HAVE SAME PROBLEM WITH RAM 3500 ;2015YEAR. IS THERE ANY BODY HAVE SAME PROBLEM?

A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING THE TRUCK, I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF THREE RECALLS,AIR BAGS, LEFT REAR AXEL, AND MIDDLE COMPARTMENT DOOR.

KEEP GETTING "SERVICE GEAR SELECTOR" MESSAGES. DEALER CHECKED AND REPLACED SELECTOR AND LESS THAN A WEEK LATER I GET THE SAME PROBLEM AND WORSE. WHEN I SHIFTED TO REVERSE, THE "R" KEPT FLASHING AND A WARNING CAME ON. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE UNTIL I MOVED THE SELECTOR AGAIN. THE WARNING MESSAGES HAPPEN BOTH IN MOTION AND WHILE AT A STOP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SIGN AT 5 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH THE DRIVER SIDE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE SPUN AROUND AND FLIPPED ONTO THE DRIVER SIDE. THE SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, BUT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED CHEST INJURIES AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE RIBS, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE INJURIES TO THE OTHER DRIVER WERE UNKNOWN.THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW LOT AND AWAITING INSPECTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

TAKATA RECALL I PURCHASED MY TRUCK IN JULY 2015 FROM LITHIA CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM OF WASILLA, ALASKA. WHEN PURCHASING MY TRUCK THE DEALERSHIP KNEW THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE BARGED OUT TO MY LOCATION - I LIVE IN RURAL ALASKA AND YOU MUST EITHER FLY OR TAKE A BOAT TO GET TO MY TOWN. I GOT THE TRUCK BARGED TO MY TOWN OF KING SALMON, ALASKA JUST IN TIME TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY LET ME KNOW THAT THEY WOULD BE TRAINING THEIR MECHANICS ON HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND THEN WOULD FLY ONE OF THE MECHANICS OUT TO MY TOWN COME FEBRUARY 2016. I WAITED FOR AN UPDATE AND NEVER GOT ONE. OF COURSE, ALL OF THIS WAS OVER THE PHONE WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM AND NOW A YEAR AND HOWEVER MANY MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL I AM BEING TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT FLYING SOMEONE OUT TO KING SALMON TO FIX THE ISSUE. BARGING A VEHICLE COSTS $2500 ONE WAY AND TAKES ABOUT THREE WEEKS AND IS ONLY OPEN DURING A CERTAIN SEASON WHEN OUR RIVER ISN'T FROZEN. THERE IS NO WAY THAT I CAN BARGE MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEN BACK TO ME WITHOUT IT COSTING ME $5000 OR SO AND LOSING MY TRUCK FOR TWO TO THREE MONTHS. IT IS NOT REASONABLE AND I SHOULD NOT BE FAULTED WHEN THE DEALERSHIP IS THE ONE THAT SOLD A FAULTY VEHICLE. WINTER CAN BE ROUGH ON VEHICLES IN ALASKA AND ROAD CONDITIONS CAN CERTAINLY BE TREACHEROUS AND I NEED TO BE ABLE TO RELY ON MY VEHICLE TO GET ME SAFELY FROM ON PLACE TO ANOTHER. AND IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, I NEED TO KNOW THAT MY SAFETY WON'T BE AT JEOPARDY JUST BECAUSE A DEALERSHIP DOESN'T WANT TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND THEIR WORD. PLEASE HELP ME TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED, AS TALKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP DIRECTLY HAS GOTTEN ME NOWHERE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

PLEASE SEE COMPLAINT I SENT TO CHRYSLER WITH DOCUMENTS. YOUR LIST BEFORE ONLY LET ME SELECT 4 TOPICS THAT I WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH. *TR

PURCHASED BRAND NEW DODGE 1500. HEADLIGHTS FLICKER WHEN ON (GO ON AND OFF) DEALERSHIP STATED IT HAS SEEN THE SAME ISSUE ON DIFFERENT DODGE RAM TRUCKS SAME AND DIFFERENT YEARS. ALSO TIRES HAVE BEEN WEARING EXTREME. WARRANTIED ONCE BUT ISSUE CONTINUES TO OCCUR. WARRANTIED 2ND TIME 3 OF 4 TIRES NOW TRUCK PULLS DRASTICALLY LEFT INTO OTHER LANEA OF TRAFFIC. HAVE CONTACTED DODGE/CHRYSLER NUMEROUS TIMES WITH NO RESOLVE. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND DOCUMENTATION ON FILE WITH CHRYSLER AND DODGE DEALERSHIP. HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ENCOUNTERS BOTH IN PERSON AND ON PHONE.

THE TRUCK STARTED ROLLING WHILE BEING PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS BEHIND THE TRUCK AND NO PROPERTY DAMAGE HAD OCCURRED. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURIES OR DAMAGE. PARKING SHIFTER AND/OR RELEVANT EQUIPMENT MUST BE RECALLED AND REPLACED BY MANUFACTURER. THE INCIDENT HAS BEEN RECORDED BY SURVEILLANCE CAMERA AND CAN BE PRESENTED UPON REQUEST.

THE HEADLAMPS ARE TOO DIM, CAN'T SEE AT NIGHT. ALL THE TIME

TRUCK ROLLED AWAY DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND INTO THE ROAD WHILE IN PARK. DID NOT CAUSE ANY DAMAGE BUT IS UNSAFE FOR KIDS PLAYING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

ON NOVEMBER 05, 2016 AT APPROXIMATELY 1230 HOURS I WALKED OUT TO MY RAM 1500 PICK UP TRUCK, WHICH WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND STARTED IT UP. I PULLED THE TRUCK FORWARD IN MY DRIVEWAY APPROXIMATELY A FULL TRUCK LENGTH, PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK AND EXITED THE TRUCK, LEAVING THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR OPEN. THE TRUCK WAS LEFT IDLING. I BEGAN TO WALK TO THE REAR OF MY TRUCK, WHERE A FRIEND WAS STANDING NEAR MY FLATBED TRAILER. THE PLAN WAS TO HOOK THE TRAILER UP TO THE TRUCK. AS I WAS WALKING TO THE REAR OF MY TRUCK, I OBSERVED THE TRUCK ROLLING BACKWARDS. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED AROUND AND BEGAN TO RUN BACK TO THE TRUCK. AS THE TRUCK WAS ROLLING, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR CAUGHT THE TIRE OF THE VEHICLE PARKED NEXT TO IT. AS I JUMP BACK IN THE TRUCK I CHECK THE SHIFT INDICATOR AND OBSERVED IT TO BE IN PARK WHILE ROLLING. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS THEN PUSHED BACKWARDS AND INTO THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT FENDER. I THEN STEPPED ON THE BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE STEERING LOST POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE, SERVICE SHIFT, AND ABS INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE "PCM OFF" WARNING MESSAGE ALSO ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE BECAME STUCK IN FIRST GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE FAILURES WERE NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,700.

I PUT THE 2015 RAM 1500 INTO PARK AND REMOVED THE KEY, WHEN I STEPPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE IT STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS DOWN MY DRIVEWAY. I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK INTO THE VEHICLE AND APPLY THE BRAKE. I PUT THE KEY BACK INTO THE IGNITION AND THE PARK INDICATOR LIGHT WAS ON. I PULLED THE VEHICLE FORWARD AND PUT IT INTO PARK AGAIN, WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE IT BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AGAIN. I APPLIED THE BRAKE AND PULLED THE VEHICLE FORWARD AGAIN, I PUT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK, THIS TIME THE VEHICLE STAYED IN PARK AND DID NOT ROLL BACKWARDS.

WHILE BOTH DRIVING, ACCELERATING, STOPPED, STARTING, SLOWING AND PARKED, THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS SPECIFICALLY THE LIGHTS THAT ILLUMINATE THE DASH BOARD ON THE RPM AND SPEEDOMETER GAUGES, START BLINKING (LIKE A STROBE) WHICH IS A HUGE DISTRACTION. THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO TURN THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS ALL THE WAY UP, TO WHERE THEY SHOULD BE WHILE DRIVING DURING DAYTIME CONDITIONS. THIS CAUSES A HUGE DISTRACTION SINCE THE INTERIOR IS FULLY ILLUMINATED ON DARK ROADS. DUE TO THE HORRIBLE RAM DESIGN OF THE HEADLIGHTS WHICH DON'T PROJECT ANYTHING, THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM TRYING TO NAVIGATE ROADWAYS WITH EITHER THE BLINKING DASHBOARD OR THE LIGHTS ALL THE WAY UP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE, IT ROLLED BACKWARDS DOWN A HILL 75 FEET AND CRASHED INTO TREES. THE TRANSMISSION MADE CONTACT WITH A THREE FOOT DIAMETER ROCK, WHICH CRACKED THE TRANSMISSION HOUSING AND BENT THE DRIVESHAFT. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE MAY BE PART OF NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE16014 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

I JUMPED BACK IN THE TRUCK TO STOP THE ROLL BUT IT ALREADY STOPPED AFTER ABOUT 3 FEET. I LOOKED AND IT WAS STILL IN PARK. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS SAME THING HAS HAPPENED.

ROLLED THREE TIMES AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WINDY CON DITIONS STRAIGHT ROAD.. ...UPDATED 02/13/17 *BF *CN

I WENT TO PUT VEHICLE IN PARK AND I TURNED THE DIAL TO "P" AND THE LIGHT FLASHED ABOVE AND THE KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT OF VEHICLE. I THEN EXITED VEHICLE AND VEHICLE STARTED TO ROLL AWAY. I JUMPED BACK IN VEHICLE AND PUSHED THE EMERGENCY BREAK. I LEFT THE VEHICLE FOR 15 MIN AND WHEN I GOT BACK IN VEHICLE IT WENT INTO PARK WITH NO PROBLEM. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE NOW.

MY TRUCK TONIGHT WAS IN PARK ROLLED DOWN MY DRIVEWAY. SO WHILE IT WAS IN PARK HAD MY WIFE SIT IN TRUCK I PUSHED ON MY TRUCK WHILE MY SON WATCHED THE WHEELS. AND OF COURSE THE WHEELS MOVED AND MY TRUCK ROLLED BACK WHILE IN PARK.

TRUCK WAS IN PARK AND VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND TRUCK STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS ON A VERY SLIGHT INCLINE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 RAM 1500. WHEN THE ENGINE WAS STARTED AND THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS PLACED INTO THE PARK POSITION, THE VEHICLE ROLLED ON ITS OWN INTO A NEARBY POND AND SUNK TO THE BOTTOM OF THE POND. THE VEHICLE WAS UNOCCUPIED AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED.

3-4 TIMES NOW I HAVE PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK, STARTED TO EXIT AND HAD IT GO INTO REVERSE. ONE TIME I WAS OUT OF THE TRUCK FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE IT STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS AND THE DOOR HIT ME. I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK IN AND STOP IT EVERY TIME.

ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2016, MY TRUCK WENT THROUGH A BUILDING WHILE NO ONE WAS IN THE VEHICLE. AT AROUND 7 AM ON SAID DATE, MY DAUGHTER, WHO WAS THE DRIVER, EXITED THE VEHICLE TO SO INTO A BAGEL STORE IN A STRIP MALL. SHE PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, AND EXITED THE VEHICLE WITH HER KEYS IN HAND, SHE TURNED AROUND TO REMOTE START THE VEHICLE. IT WAS A COOL MORNING. UPON ENGAGING THE REMOTE START, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO MOVE ON ITS OWN, RUNNING INTO THE STRIP MALL ADDRESS OF GARFIELD RD, CLINTON TWP MI. THE BAGEL STORE EMPLOYEE SAW THIS ALL UNFOLD, YET THE POLICE DID NOT WANT HER AS A WITNESS. INSTEAD, THE POLICE TICKETED HER FOR CARELESS DRIVING. SHE WAS NOT IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME IT WENT INTO THE BUILDING YET STILL RECEIVED A TICKET. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO A CAR DEALERSHIP IN MI. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN ROUTE, MY DAUGHTER CALLED CHRYSLER TO INFORM THEM OF THE ACCIDENT. SHE WAS TOLD TO MAKE SURE THAT NO ONE FROM THE DEALERSHIP TOUCHED THE TRUCK. CHRYSLER WANTED TO SEND IN THEIR PEOPLE TO INVESTIGATE. THE TRUCK SAT ON THE LOT FOR A WEEK. OF COURSE THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG? IN THE MEANTIME I CALLED THE INSURANCE COMPANY TO SEE HOW MANY POINTS THIS TICKET WAS THAT WAS NOT WARRANTED. TOO MANY. SO I HIRED A LOCAL ATTORNEY TO FIGHT THE TICKET. I STILL HAD TO PAY FOR THE ATTORNEY AND A FINE. IN CONCLUSION, I OWN A TRUCK THAT MOVES ON ITS OWN, CHRYSLER STATES THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT; THERE IS A WITNESS THAT SAW THAT NO ONE WAS IN THE TRUCK. THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM HERE AND NO ONE IS OWNING UP TO IT. I WOULD LIKE SOME CONCRETE ANSWERS ON THE PROBLEM. MY CHILD DRIVES IT EVERYDAY AND I FEEL THAT SHE IS CONSTANTLY AT RISK. IT IS A LEASE AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO TURN IT IN. I AM IN A WORRIED ABOUT THIS HAPPENING AGAIN. PLEASE HELP US. *TR

I AM FROM PITTSBURGH, PA . LAST TUESDAY MORNING, I SHOVELED MY DRIVEWAY AND THEN GOT INTO MY TRUCK AND WENT TO A NEARBY SHEETZ AND GOT SOME GAS. I RETURNED TO MY HOME AND BACKED MY TRUCK DOWN MY DRIVEWAY AND PARKED AND PUT MY TRUCK INTO PARK AND APPLIED THE E-BRAKE AND SHUT OFF THE TRUCK. I THEN WENT INSIDE MY HOME AND WALKED INTO MY KITCHEN. ABOUT 3-4MIN LATER I WAS RANDOMLY LOOKING OUT OF MY BACK WINDOW AND I SEE MY TRUCK IN MY NEIGHBORS BACK YARD AGAINST THEIR FENCE. IT APPEARS MY TRUCK ROLLED AWAY DOWN MY DRIVEWAY. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT OF BEEN BECAUSE OF WEATHER CONDITIONS BUT I HEARD ON THE NEWS ABOUT A POTENTIAL FEDERAL INVESTIGATION OF THESE TYPES OF ACCIDENTS FORM RAM TRUCKS FROM 2014-2016. I WAS LITERALLY SHOCKED BY WHAT HAPPENED TO MY TRUCK AS I AM ALMOST CERTAIN I BOTH HAD THE SHIFTIER IN PARK AND APPLIED THE E-BRAKE. I CURRENTLY HAD TO SUBMIT A CLAIM TO ERIE INSURANCE AND AM IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING MY TRUCK FIXED AFTER $3500 DOLLARS IN DAMAGES. IF YOU NEED ANYMORE DETAILS MY NUMBER IS [XXX].

TRANSMISSION PROBLEM... SUNDAY, 12/18/2016 IN MINNEAPOLIS, MN REMOTELY STARTED VEHICLE AT 6:00AM -22 ACTUAL AIR TEMP. VEHICLE HAD BEEN WARMING UP (IDLING) FOR 15 MINUTES. AT 6:15AM I TRIED PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE. INDICATOR LIGHT FOR REVERSE SHOULD HAVE GONE SOLID...JUST BLINKED. TRIED PLACING VEHICLE IN DRIVE WITH SAME RESULTS. DRIVE INDICATOR JUST BLINKED, SHOULD HAVE GONE SOLID. CHECK ENGINE CAME ON. TRIED STOPPING AND STARTING VEHICLE NUMEROUS TIMES WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. ALLOWED VEHICLE TO CONTINUE TO IDLE FOR A TOTAL OF ONE HOUR BEFORE THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION ACTUALLY SHIFTED INTO REVERSE. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO JOE MACHENS RAM DEALERSHIP IN COLUMBIA, MO ON 12/19/2016, SERVICE WRITER CHRIS BOATRIGHT (573-474-9500) WROTE THE ISSUE UP. RECEIVED A CALL FROM CHRIS BOATRIGHT ON 12/20/2016. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS EVEN THOUGH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID POINT TO A TRANSMISSION ERROR. REPORTING THIS ISSUE AS I SAW ON THE NEWS TODAY ABOUT THE OTHER ISSUES OF THIS VEHICLE ROLLING AWAY WHEN PEOPLE THINK THE TRANSMISSION IS IN PARK.

WHILE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC THE TRUCK SUDDENLY STOPPED WITHOUT ANY WARNING, I LOST MY POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES AS WELL AS THE ABILITY TO HAVE POWER TO THE ENGINE. I TRIED TO START THE DIESEL ENGINE, BUT THE STARTER JUST TRIED STARTING IT FOR APPROX. 20 SECONDS, I DID NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO TURN STARTER OFF SINCE IT IS A PUSH BUTTON START AND IT FINALLY TIMED OUT. I WAITED APPROX 5 MIN. AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT RESTARTED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I DROVE IT TO THE DEALER. THE MILEAGE WAS APPROX. 36,100 MILES. I HAD TO KEEP MY FINGERS CROSSED HOPING IT WOULD NOT DIE ON ME AS I DROVE ABOUT 5 MILES TO THE DEALER. MY GREATEST CONCERN IS THE SAFETY ISSUE OF COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER AND WHAT MAY HAPPEN IF YOU WERE ON A HILL OR GOING AROUND A SHARP TURN WHERE THE STEERING AND BRAKES SYSTEMS WOULD NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. MY TRUCK HAS AN ECODIESEL ENGINE. THE DEALER TOLD ME THE TRUCK HA DMULTIPLE PROBLEM CODES ON THE COMPUTER ANALYSIS. THEY TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY LOOSE PINS IN A CONNECTOR AND A LOOSE GROUND WIRE. I NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEM LIKE THIS AND THE SUDDENNESS OF THIS PROBLEM WAS SCARY.

THE BRAKE PEDAL ON THIS GENERATION OF RAM 1500 PICKUPS SITS CONSIDERABLY HIGHER THAN THE GAS PEDAL. THIS MEANS WHEN DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, IF YOU QUICKLY HAVE TO MOVE TO THE BRAKE, YOUR FOOT CAN BECOME STUCK UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE BRAKE PEDAL SHOULD BE LOWERED AS ITS HEIGHT IS TOO HIGH. RAISING THE GAS PEDAL WOULD MAKE IT TOO HIGH AS WELL CREATING A DIFFERENT PROBLEM. THERE ARE MANY DISCUSSIONS ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

32 GALLON OPTIONAL FUEL TANK INSTALLED. DASH BOARD FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR SHOWS E FOR EMPTY AND ZERO MILES TO EMPTY ON DIGITAL DISPLAY. FILLED 32 GALLON TANK AND IT ONLY TOOK 25.7 GALLONS. I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK AND CONFIRMED I HAVE A 32 GALLON TANK. REPORTED TO CHRYSLER 1-800-763-8422 IN MAY OF 2016 BUT I COULD NOT DEAL WITH THE ISSUE UNTIL OCTOBER 2016. I TOOK TRUCK TO LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER IN (JOE MACHENS) COLUMBIA, MO MID OCTOBER 2016. THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. CHRYSLER STATED THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT HAVE NO FIX AS OF 11/21/2016. VERY POOR COMMUNICATIONS COMING BACK TO ME FROM CHRYSLER ENHANCED CUSTOMER SERVICE. I HAVE SPOKE WITH KAITLYN, KENYA AND VERONICA OVER THE PAST MONTH ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH NO TIME FRAME WHEN CHRYSLER WILL HAVE IT RESOLVED. LAST PERSON I SPOKE WITH RYAN AT 1-800-763-8422 EXTENSION 40614. HE STATED WOULD CALL ME BACK WITHIN 24 HOURS WITH ANSWERS. THAT WAS TWO WEEKS AGO. I AM GETTING THE RUN AROUND. I HAVE A STRONG FEELING THEY ARE NOT GOING TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. TWO CASE NUMBERS HAVE BEEN ISSUED BY CHRYSLER TO ME. REF # 29319235 WHICH THEY CLOSED. ALSO 30324341 WHICH SHOULD CURRENTLY BE OPEN. THANK YOU FOR ANY PRESSURE YOU CAN PLACE ON CHRYSLER TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED SOONER VERSUS NEVER.

TRUCK HAD A LEAK BEHIND THE DASH WHICH COULDN'T BE REPAIRED AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. MOISTURE WITHIN THE CAB OF THE TRUCK HAS CAUSED ANYTHING METAL IN THE CAB TO RUST AND HAS ALSO AFFECTED SOME ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. I NOTICED THE LEAK MORE WHILE THE TRUCK WAS STATIONARY DURING HEAVY RAINS/SNOW. LEAK WAS NOTICED IN OR AROUND 11/2015 AND CONFIRMED IN 1/2016 AND IS NOW ASSUMINGLY REPAIRED. RUST IS A MAJOR CONCERN ALONG WITH MOISTURE THAT MAY HAVE AN AFFECT ON ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE.

I HAVE A 2015 DODGE RAM 1500 EXPRESS, I'VE HAD MECHANICAL ISSUE WITH THE TRUCK FROM THE VERY START OF OWNING THE TRUCK. THE BIGGEST AND LONGEST LASTING ISSUE HAS BEEN WITH THE KEY FOB GETTING STUCK IN THE TRUCK. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN THAT THE TRUCK ISN'T TELLING ITSELF THAT THE IS IN PARK SO IT WONT RELEASE MY KEY. THIS CAUSES ME TO HAVE TO TURN THE TRUCK ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES MOVE THE TRUCK AND SHIFT BACK INTO PAR BEFORE IT WILL RELEASE THE KEY. THE DEALERSHIP HAS SEEN THIS PROBLEM HAPPEN IN PERSON BUT THEN TELLS ME THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT. SO THEY REPLACE SOME RANDOM PART HOPING IT WILL FIX THE ISSUE. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 03/2016 AND HAS REQUIRED THE TRUCK TO BE IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP FOR DAYS AND WEEKS. DODGE HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE CONTACTED DODGE CUSTOMER CARE TWICE OPENED TWO CUSTOMER CARE TICKETS AND ALL I HEAR FROM DODGE IS TAKE IT BACK TO SHOP SO THEY CAN LOOK AT IT. I'VE HAD CLOSE TO SEVEN DIFFERENT ITEMS REPLACED ON THE TRUCK AND HAVE TO SPEND MY OFF DAYS DRIVING BACK AND WORTH TO THE DEALERSHIP OVER THE PAST SEVEN MONTHS. I'VE BEEN SPEAKING WITH DODGE CUSTOMER CARE SINCE 05/2016 TRYING TO GET THIS FIXED BUT THEY DON'T SEEM WILLING OR CARE TO GET THE TRUCK FIXED. THEIR ANSWER IS THEY CANT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE SO THEY CANT FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT I'VE SHOWN VIDEOS, RECORDED EVERY TIME THE KEY GETS STUCK BY NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE, DODGE DOESN'T SEEM TO CONCERNED WITH FIXING MY ISSUE. WHEN MY "CUSTOMER CARE" REP CALLS ME FROM DODGE SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHERE MY TRUCK IS. I HAVE DETAILED RECORDS OF EVERY TIME THE KEY HAS GOTTEN STUCK, I'VE DROPPED MY TRUCK OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP, OR I'VE SPOKEN TO SOMEONE REGARDING Y TRUCK. I JUST WANT MY TRUCK FIXED. *TR

THIS VEHICLE WAS LEASED FROM MID COUNTRY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP ON 12/16/2015 AS PART OF AN EIGHT VEHICLE FLEET. ON 10/5/2016, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND JUMPER CABLES WERE REQUIRED TO START THE ENGINE. VEHICLE OPERATOR IS CURRENTLY DELIVERING THE VEHICLE TO THE MID COUNTY DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. THE OPERATOR REPORTS THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS ERRATIC - THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT WORKING, THE TACHOMETER IS NOT WORKING, THE ODOMETER IS NOT WORKING, INDICATOR PANEL LIGHTS ARE FLICKERING, AND SEAT BELT ALERT SYSTEM IS TURNING ON WITHOUT CAUSE. MECHANICS REPORT WILL BE PROVIDED AS IT BECOMES AVAILABLE. WHILE THIS IS THE FIRST MALFUNCTION ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE, IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT OUR FLEET CONSISTS SOLELY OF RAM 1500S, WITH SEVEN BEING 2016 MODELS AND ONE 2015. BATTERY AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE HAS BEEN PERVASIVE THROUGHOUT OUR ENTIRE FLEET.

AT 24300 MILES THE ENGINE BEGAN VIBRATING VERY HARD AND THEN QUIT. AFTER CHECKING THE OIL, IT WAS GOOD, I CREPT THE TRUCK TO A CONVENIENCE STORE AND CALLED AAA. TOWED VEHICLE TO NEAREST CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. THEY DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH CERTIFIED TECHS TO FIX MY TRUCK WITHOUT IT BEING AT DEALER FOR 2 MONTHS. SERVICE MGR CALLED AROUND AND FOUND A DEALER WHO COULD REPAIR TRUCK. METAL PIECES INCLUDING BEARINGS WERE FOUND IN THE OIL PAN. CHRYSLER REPLACED THE ENGINE UNDER WARRANTY. NO EXPLANATION WAS GIVEN AND WHEN ASKED IF THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED ON THE NEW ENGINE RECEIVED NO ANSWER. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE ENGINE FAILER OR WHETHER RAM HAS FIXED THIS EVER OCCURRING AGAIN.

EVENT: ON SEPTEMBER 7TH AT APPROXIMATELY 07:16PM MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING ON HWY 380 AT MILEPOST 44 IN A REMOTE PART OF NEW MEXICO BETWEEN ROSWELL AND SAN ANTONIO. OUR SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH. WE HAD BEEN TRAVELING FOR 6 DAYS AND APPROXIMATELY 2000 MILES BETWEEN VANCOUVER, WA AND THE LOCATION THE ENGINE FAILED. THE ENGINE ON MY 2015 RAM ECODIESEL BEGAN MAKING A GROANING SOUND. NO WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED ON MY DASH AND WITHIN MINUTES THE SOUND BECAME LOUDER AND THE ENGINE WAS HAVING DIFFICULTY. FINALLY, THERE WAS A LOUD "BANG" AND THE ENGINE LOST POWER. AGAIN, NO WARNING LIGHTS AND NO INDICATION OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING. ONCE THE CAR ROLLED TO A STOP A "LOW OIL PRESSURE" LIGHT FINALLY APPEARED ON THE PANEL. THE TRUCK WAS INOPERABLE AND CAME TO A REST IMPEDING TRAFFIC.I PULLED THE OIL DIPSTICK AND TOOK THREE READINGS AND THE OIL RESERVOIR WAS FULL. WE PUSHED THE UCONNECT "ASSIST" BUTTON AND A TOW TRUCK WAS SUMMONED. WE WERE TOWED TO SIERRA BLANCA RAM DEALERSHIP IN RUIDOSO, NEW MEXICO. AFTER THE DEALERSHIP INSPECTED THE ENGINE THEY DISCOVERED THE NUMBER 5 CYLINDER HAD EXPLODED AND CRACKED THE ENGINE BLOCK IN THE PROCESS. THE MECHANIC TOLD US THE ENGINE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED CHRYSLER WARRANTY AND AS OF 09.17.16 WE STILL HAVE NO ANSWER FROM CHRYSLER ON WHETHER THEY WILL APPROVE A NEW ENGINE. THE MECHANIC HAS TOLD ME SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST WEEK THAT CHRYSLER WILL NOT APPROVE REPLACEMENT OF A NEW ENGINE UNTIL SEVERAL MORE "PICTURES AND DOCUMENTATION" CAN BE SUBMITTED. THIS, DESPITE THE DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDATION THAT WE NEED A FULL ENGINE REPLACEMENT IMMEDIATELY AND THERE IS NO OTHER OPTION THAN A FULL ENGINE REPLACEMENT.
