1C6RR7LTXES3179592014 RAM 1500SLT

Lost power steering driving down the highway. Service power steering light started flashing. This made vehicle very difficult to turn onto shoulder. Been to private shop has to replace entire rack cost unknown yet.

Upon starting my truck, the Service Power Steering light came on, and my steering wheel was locked, rendering me unable to move the truck and stranded. The system was scanned and reported that the internal EPS module had failed.

On the morning of May 26, 2026, I was driving at 30 MPH on a neighborhood road. After a few miles, and while approaching a green to caution traffic light. I applied the brake and felt a definite tug in the steering wheel and immediately, completely lost power steering. While at the red traffic light and a full stop, I placed the truck in park stopped and restarted the engine, and the power steering was restored. It happened again within a half mile again while applying the brake. Although difficult to steer at 25 MPH, it is incredibly difficult to turn the wheel when at a full stop. However, by stopping and restarting the engine it enabled me to navigate typical parking maneuvers for a short time.

C2200-49 code received for ABS control module internal fault. No replacement part available.

loss of power steering when driving almost went into oncoming traffic, Garage says it is the rack and pinion

I turned the vehicle to park in a diagonal spot, and it would not stop. I had taken my foot off the gas just prior to starting the turn and then tapped the gas in the turn. After I tapped it an physically brough my foot back to the seat and then placed it on the brake, it accelerated. It drove over a curb, through a metal barrier and into a glass door and stopped at the side mirrors while my foot was firmly pressing the brake down. The cops on scene said the video looked like I was accelerating, but like I said I was firmly pushing down on the brake. Only the left rear brake light worked and is hard to see because the plastic cover is damaged. Prior to the accident the vehicle did not have the ABS light blinking, but it was blinking when I retrieved my personal items out of the vehicle 2 days later. There was a woman bending over/ in the corner by counter in the store and had the vehicle not stopped when it did, she would have been hit; when she stood up mere inches from the trunk, this put me, the driver into shock.

Front gas tank strap rotted out and broke causing the trap to carve into the drive shaft.im lucky i had just come off the parkway but drive shaft was looked at as dangerous and could split in half .It is know there is a recall on the straps and an extended repair of 12 years. They emailed me saying they won’t cover either repair. Also saying the driveshaft is not covered but the problem they admit to caused the second repair? I have a repair bill and a number of other people on the internet that have had the same issue from this broken tank strap.My truck was at the westbury dealer a number of times over the years and they never once brought this up to me. Please help me. I am retired 67 years old and I feel I’m being taken advantage of. T. Y PS I could have been serious injured

Yes there is a issue with the ABS control modules in these trucks, and they are nowhere to be found, it causes a safty risk bec you lose control if u need to hard break and possibly lose your steering. Dodge/ram doesnt want to take responsibility for them and its crazy, this could kill someone and i feel it should have a recall, the warning lights are the traction control/emergency break and your abs light. Irs absolutely insane that i am having to even compalin about this when this is a very important part of the truck

The ABS module failed. Replacement parts are no longer being manufactured. My traction control, ABS, and cruise control no longer function as a result. Also getting warnings that the trailer braking system has a failure - these warnings started after the ABS module failed.

driving on roadway in wet weather, SERVICE STEERING warning on dashboard and vehicle steering becomes very stiff to the point of being unable to turn vehicle at all. Currently waiting on vehicle repair.

Ram is doing recalls on abs braking systems and trailer hitch problems. I have a 2014 with the same problems and there are other owners complaining bout the same thing on forums. Why are you letting Ram go on with problem and only going back to 2025?. It's ridiculous for them to slide and not repair a problem tht has been going on for years. And Ram dealers want $2300 to $3000 to repair.

I had my ABS Light and Brake light come on in August 2023. My cruise control and my brake controller would no longer work. Took it to a dealer for repairs and they diagnosed it as needing a ABS Contol Modular. It has been on back order since that time. I was first told 3 mo, then 6 mo. Etc. I visited the dealership last week and they told me the part will no longer be manufactured. I have a low mileage vehicle that is worthless to trade in or sell because of this brake issue. The part number is 68228991AD ABS Control Modular.

Steering takes force to turn, making noise and feeling like turns are jolted while maneuvering. While making right handed turn, the truck requires a crawling speed, to ensure steering is on route. With the feeling worsening, the fear is that it will fail to turn at a crucial moment and cause injury to the driver or any other surrounding vehicles.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that the ABS, BRAKE, and an unknown warning light were illuminated. The contact stated that approximately one year later, while driving approximately 5 MPH in the rain, the steering wheel jerked left and right continuously, and the brake pedal was depressed and the vehicle stopped facing on-coming traffic. The vehicle was driven to the residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle was then taken to a dealer for an oil change and spark plugs replacement; however, after driving away, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the ABS module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired because the parts were on back order. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 68,000.

Have a 2014 Ram 1500 that has a ABS malfunction light showing. Took truck in and dealership service department wanted $1500.00 for a new ABS module that has failed. The part has been on backorder from Mopar/Stellantis for months. I am glad I did not give them $1500.00 (+ future labor costs) to fix for something I have been calling the dealership for months on inventory status. My truck has been sitting in their possession for almost 10 months now, rendering me loss of my vehicle use for the entire time of 10 months. Ridiculous. I reached out to Ram Cares and filed a complaint. They have issues with the dealership returning calls as I have. Something is not right here. Again, this is a part on backorder for months that has failed according to dealership and truck is potentially unsafe to drive. I asked Ram Cares to verify if truck is road worthy to drive safely with the failed ABS module as is. Ram Cares still has communication issues with the dealership and even they are getting ignored. I am beyond frustrated and at a loss (literally) of not being able to use my truck for an excessive length of time. I filed a complaint also with the State of California BAR department and they said to file a complaint with you as well. The part number the dealership said I need is: abs module 68228991AD

Any water will disable the abs, traction control. Water shorts out the abs module making abs system inop. I have replaced 2 abs modules. They work great until you drive in the rain. This is a huge safety concern.

This complaint concerns failure of the remedy for Safety Recall Z46 / NHTSA Campaign 22V406 involving the high pressure fuel pump (HPFP) on a 3.0L diesel pickup. The HPFP had previously been replaced under the recall by an authorized dealer. About 19 months later, while the vehicle was at a dealership for service, the replacement HPFP failed again during dealer testing. The dealer documented metal contamination throughout the fuel system caused by the HPFP failure. The dealer then replaced the contaminated fuel system components. After those repairs and during post-repair test driving, the vehicle developed new bottom-end engine noise. The dealer later documented connecting rod bearing damage / rod knock and recommended complete engine replacement. The vehicle had been brought in with no bottom-end engine noise, and the dealer’s intake inspection documented oil condition as OK. An independent oil analysis later showed the engine oil was normal and did not indicate long-term lubrication failure. This suggests the engine damage occurred acutely after the HPFP failure and resulting contamination event, not from routine wear. This condition creates a serious safety risk because HPFP failure can cause loss of fuel pressure, engine stall, or loss of motive power, and the subsequent engine damage raises the risk of sudden engine failure or seizure while driving. That could increase the risk of a crash, especially in traffic or at highway speeds. The failure was confirmed by the dealer and is documented in the repair order. The vehicle remains inoperable and is available for inspection upon request. I am requesting investigation into whether the recall remedy was adequate, since the recall replacement HPFP failed again and the resulting contamination appears to have led to catastrophic secondary engine damage.

So my truck has the abs module part that has failed on it. Over the time it’s failed we have seen things go out on it that directly relate to safety being a concern. First is the fact that sometimes the brakes fail completely and cause concern that I might hit another vehicle or person. Second is the issue of the truck very rarely accelerating without driver interaction this is a safety issue because the uncontrolled speed could cause additional accidents. Lastly is the issue where the truck will very rarely go into an undesirable gear will driving resulting in immediate action to be taken by the driver. All of these incidents were taken up with multiple dodge dealers and Stelantis motor corp without action taken on their part. All parties have stated that repair is impossible due to lack of availability. When asked to provided assistance to get truck repaired at a different location without cost to driver, driver was told no. Driver was also told no after driver stated this was now becoming an increased risk.

Fuel Tank Strap Mounting Bracket failed on 2014 Ram 1500. Part covered under FCA Warranty Extension #X75. Due to failure, driveshaft was deeply scored and recommended be replaced due to safety concerns.

My cruise control is not working right,sometimes it don't turn on, but when it does, there are times that it will automatically shut off while driving., or it won't let me cancel it

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. While driving approximately 15 MPH and making a left turn, the steering wheel and the check engine warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that the steering became extremely difficult to turn. The contact stopped, turned off, and restarted the vehicle; however, the steering was stiff and difficult to turn. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the steering sensor and the rack and pinion gears needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 260,000.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving on several occasions at various speeds, the steering wheel became stiff, and the vehicle failed to turn as intended. The contact stated that the message "Service Power Steering System" was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the residence. An independent mechanic arrived at the residence and diagnosed the vehicle with steering rack failure. The vehicle was not repaired due to parts being on back order. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 201,110.

To my best assessment I was driving and while turning the steering wheel was like it was locked and then it loosen up.I made it home and the next morning cranked up foot on brakes a red circle light came on red saying steering needs serving.I have scheduled a diagnostic appointment.Not Pryor to me leaving the house on 4/4/2026 did I experienced this incident which put me and my family’s life in danger.Intermittently the steering wheel will turn.I thanked God he didn’t allow me to panic.

The vehicle experienced a sudden loss of power steering while in operation, creating a safety concern due to reduced ability to control the vehicle. At the time of failure, multiple electrical and control module faults were present. The vehicle was inspected by a dealership, which diagnosed the issue as requiring rack and pinion replacement. The owner paid out of pocket for this repair. Dealership documentation shows the steering failure occurred alongside multiple electrical system faults. During the same service period, the dealership also performed multiple safety recall repairs, including control module and software updates. These systems are integrated, and the steering failure occurred in conjunction with electrical and control module issues later addressed under recall. This raises concern that the original failure may be related to defects now identified under active safety recalls. The owner incurred significant repair costs prior to recall correction. This situation presents a potential safety related defect involving steering and electrical system interaction.

EPS light comes on intermittently and locks steering while driving at random. Checked all fuses and conctions all good. Battery was replaced 1 month ago so Battery good and power good. Wiring is good.

I was driving normal and almost lost control when electric power sterring rack and pinion went out. And after doing some research looks like this is a huge issue with all these trucks. Amd dodge refuses to recall the vehicle. Someone can die from this

Fuel sensor failure. Began around 60,000 miles. Unless tank is full tank will display as empty. This also causes the check engine light to be on. Causes me to never know how much fuel is in the tank. I have nearly run out of fuel several times. This is a known issues across Dodge RAM forums for this era of RAM. It is not safe to operate at speed and run out of fuel unexpectedly.

Power steering issues

Power steering stopped working.

I was driving to the store and suddenly the steering wheel got hard, and I almost hit another car, but fortunately nothing happened. And from then on, the power steering in my car stopped working.

While changing oil, noticed the front fuel tank strap was disconnected from the frame. Upon closer inspection, the outboard front fuel tank strap mounting location on the frame rusted through, allowing the T portion if the strap to fall lose. There is a similar recall for 08-12 Ram 1500's, but clearly this issue persists for more than just those model years

Odometer Fraud. The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a dealer sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 140,000; however, at the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 238,999.

The recall for the loss of signal from the tone ring in recall 66A was supposed to allow the vehicle to use the signal from the camshaft positioning sensor. This recall was completed on my truck but the loss of signal from a bad tone ring has resulted in the same condition as the original recall which is inoperability of the vehicle. This still poses a safety threat as the recall did not correct the issue. The manufacturer is now claiming that the recall period is expired and the tone ring failure will not be covered. the repair is 1700 and may still result in a failure of the vehicle to maintain propulsion as it did for me on Jan 30th, 2026. I have a case open with Stellantis to try and get an answer to this, but it is still a safety concern. case number 895950295

The ETC light came on and I brought the truck to my mechanic. The code for crankshaft position sensor came up. Apparently a faulty cps can cause the engine to shut down without warning. This is an obvious safety issue which Ram doesn’t want to repair.

I currently have a failed ABS module on my truck. The warning lights have come on for brakes, ABS and traction control. I attempted to go to my local dealer but was told the part to replace has been backordered for over 2 years. I am unable to locate a new part, or a company that will rebuild the ABS module. I've had this condition for ~ 9 months. Additionally, just recently within the last 3 weeks I've been experiencing intermittent loss of power steering while driving. This issue has typically been lasting 1-2 seconds, which can be very problematic especially while in a turn. When the steering goes out, there is a quick flash of a warning to service power steering on the dash, then the warning goes away.

The crankshaft position sensor and tone wheel failed which is the recall for 66A, was driving truck 45mph down heavily traffic roadway, truck died and stopped in the middle of road. took truck to dealership and dealer charged diagnostic fee explained to them that issue sounded like a crankshaft issue and was showing crankshaft codes. They refused to look into this and do the recall. Went and picked the truck up took it to a local mechanic, mechanic diagnosed issue come to found out it was indeed the crankshaft sensor and tone wheel that was the issue, purchased mopar oem parts and installed in vehicle, once repaired vehicle started and ran perfectly.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that the rear brake light, traction control, and ABS warning light were illuminated. The cruise control was inoperable. An independent mechanic was contacted, who scanned the vehicle and determined that the ABS module needed to be replaced. The local dealer was contacted, and it was diagnosed and determined that the ABS module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the part being on backorder. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

1. Front fuel tank strap bracket has corroded and strap no longer attaches, my vehicle is available for inspection upon request. (appears this was a problem for 2009-2012 ram trucks) 2. If the tank falls, fuel will let loose with the opportunity for fire. 3. Yes, (independent service center). My mechanic wants me to ratchet strap the tank up to run the fuel low (because the tank will need to be dropped to repair/replace). He can't do the work. I need to contact a welding shop to weld new brackets to my truck frame. 4. No, there was no physical accident up to this point. The strap is hanging and unable to reattach because the frame bracket is rotted out. 5. No, just saw the strap hanging under the truck. (Additionally, my truck doesn't come up as having a current recall for airbags but i have the airbag light on the dash. I see NHTSA recall #'s 17V302000, 16EO41000, 15V534000 and 15V460000 all apply to airbags with my trucks year)

Intermittent power steering issues, especially at low speeds and in cold weather.

The electric power steering module failed while driving and could have resulted in an accident. After searching online there are Alot of similiar cases with the same model truck and is a serious safety concern.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while depressing the brake pedal while coming to a stop, the rear wheels locked up. The ABS, traction control, parking brake, and check engine warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer, where the engine was replaced, and the contact was informed that the ABS module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was diagnosed and repaired out-of-pocket. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

There was a previous recall for my vehicle July 21, 2015 R36 15V•459. The recall was handled at the dealership to fix the recall. But now I'm experiencing the exact symptoms of Recall R36. Steering Wheel: •Ghost right blinker - When engaged, all lights are on and in working condition and blink at a normal rate on the outside of the vehicle. •No menu navigation •No cruise control •Can't control radio •Can't control phone calls •No working horn •Active airbag light Symptoms are constant all angles of the steering wheel. There is no noise coming from the steering column. Airbag light is on all the time. Yes, the vehicle is available for inspection upon request. My safety is put at risk for having a failed horn, I cannot alert others. And with the airbag light on, either the airbag can spontaneously deploy causing an accident or if I'm in an accident, they won't deploy at all. If I can't access my menu, I'm unable to see any vehicle notifications or alerts for my engine, transmission, and safety systems, including Perform Service reminders, tire pressure warnings, oil life percentage, low oil pressure and potential emissions or electrical issues. No, it has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center yet. No, it has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. First appeared February 2, 2026

the braking system abs failed, stopped at traffic light foot on brake petal holding then brake petal goes to floor and vehicle surges forward, take vehicle to brake shop told that rear brake pads needed replacing replaced things working fine next couple of months. then same thing happened again, get vehicle brake system inspected everything checked out. debate whether master cylinder or abs - later decided to replace master cylinder -working good for a couple of months then it happens again- needing to stop behind traffic at four way stop- brake petal goes to floor I don't understand how abs system can override human eyes seeing dangerous situation ahead 7-

While driving into a turn at an intersection, the steering pulled hard, them completely loss all power steering with the steering indicator light on the dash. The vehicle has had no prior issues with steering. Due to slow speed, I was able to stop the vehicle and gain control over it. The vehicle now has no power steering and the light remains on the dash.

Tailgate was dropping open while driving, and sometimes would not latch when shut without slamming it several times. Took it to Gupton Dodge Dealership 37172 and they performed the recall. A few months later the same problems started occurring again, then after a while longer the tailgate actually would not open at all anymore. I took it back to the same dealership to notify them that their recall repair failed. They told me the recall had already been done and it was working when it left their shop, so I would need to pay for any further repairs which would require replacing the entire actuator assembly. I brought the truck back home and removed the tailgate latch cover to assess the problem myself. I found that the original actuator was still on and had never been replaced in the recall work. I also found that by cleaning up the metal actuator parts with carb cleaner spray, and lubing it with dry lube and white lithium grease at critical movement spots, the actuator and tailgate latches started working perfectly again. I now realize that they very likely did the same thing for the recall, just cleaned and lubed it, and no parts replaced or added. I expect it will now work for another few more months before dust and moisture will cause it to need cleaning and lubing again in order to keep it working. Serious safety hazard, not just from dropped cargo! My wife closed tailgate once while my 6 year old grandson was standing next to her. As soon as she stepped away the heavy tailgate fell open hard, missing my grandson's head by inches. Dealers are just doing a quick, cheap, temporary fix to say they met their obligation, and are perpetuating the danger. Even if the actuator assembly is replaced with the OEM part, it will also fail from normal dust & moisture over time. The recall needs to require the actuator assembly to be REPLACED with an IMPROVED DESIGN that will not fail from normal dust and moisture, since it is not in a sealed compartment.

I was driving around 35 mph, the steering wheels suddenly have no power, really tight and hard to turn with no symptoms before and no light on dash, this was very dangerous if I was driving on the highway. Second thing is the famous "Hemi tick" happened on my truck, everyone have the Ram truck have exactly same issue but I really do not know why this issue still not have any recall yet. Please recall and make your product better and safer for your royal customer, please and please.

ABS Module … same as 100’s of other Dodge Ram 1500 Trucks! My 2014 is sitting the dealership rotten because there is no part available anymore or anywhere! Have a warranty which is useless and no help from Dodge or dealerships anywhere it’s so sad and pathetic that a USA made Truck isn’t worth anything but scrap! Why are they aloud to get away with not fixing issues with Ram Trucks! No Recall no actions taking and people just sitting on there hands waiting for any glimpse of hope to fix there trucks! Shame on Dodge and will never buy a Dodge, Jeep or Chrysler vehicle. Your service departments your representatives all throw up their hands and say oh it’s Dodge. You should just get rid of it. …. that’s really sad.

Ref Investigation Number: RQ 23-003 Intermittent / Comp Loss of Power Steering I EXPERINCED A COMPLETE STEERING RACK SYSTEM FAILURE ON MY 2014 RAM SPORT. COULD NOT DRIVE VEHICLE. $4000 REPAIR BILL TO GET IT BACK ON THE ROAD.

The abs module has an internal short, yes. The abs, traction control, and trailer brakes stopped working as a result. Yes. No. The failure happed abruptly and only showed warning lights after the part failed. The failure appeared while driving resulting in reduced braking and some skidding.

Odometer Fraud. The contact considered purchasing a 2014 Ram 1500 from a local dealer, with an odometer reading of 138,000. The contact stated that after obtaining a Carfax Report for the vehicle, the contact became aware that the odometer reading was listed at 251,000 in 2023. The vehicle was not purchased. The dealer was not yet notified of the mileage discrepancy.

ABS module internal electrical failure. Causes traction control, antilock brakes, and trailer brakes to fail. Brakes could lose power and cause a collision. Parts are unavailable new. No remedy available from manufacturer.

Electric power steering system is faulty very dangerous I could’ve been in a accident the eps systems on these trucks go out with no warning I know of this happening to numerous of these trucks ranging from 2013-2019 models with only a few with a recall they need to recall all these trucks for this issue

Took truck to dealership, 2014 Ram 1500. They found front fuel tank strap has rusted out of its “T” hock position. Similar to the issue with 2008-2012 Rams. Very dangerous. Cannot drive in this condition

As many other dodge ram owners are also experiencing anti lock brake control module internal electronic failure. Abs, traction control, and brake warning lights are all on on the dash so abs and traction control are disabled the 4 wheel drive won't function due to this either. Abs has fault code c2200-49 diagnosed at a local facility with fix finder diagnostic and doesn't seem to be any available control module replacements to even repair it. This truck is useless on the icy road at this time and dangerous for everyone's safety on the road under normal driving conditions without all of these safety features working as they should. There should be parts available at least if not a recall or maybe even customer pays for the part and dealership programs new part for free! The anti lock brake control modules are faulty on way to many generations of dodge ram vehicles for dodge not to recall all faulty abs control modules on all year models, please help with this issue THANKS in advance

I'm sure this is not the first complaint you all have received, and this is not my first attempt at reaching out. My 2014 Laramie Longhorn power steering light comes on when the truck is started, and once the vehicle warms up the light goes out. This has been an issue with the electric power steering in this particular year model. I am unsure why another investigation and or recall have not been opened up yet, but this is definitely a safety concern for my family and others on the roadway. I would love to see this issue taken care of and open up another recall.

2014 Ram 1500 lost power-steering while driving

Question 1: Vehicle has experienced a total loss of power steering, a known issue on these trucks that is actively under an NHTSA ODI investigation. This report should be added to ODI investigation number RQ 23-003 as an identical example of the issue. Problem began at around 70,000 miles and gradually became worse until power steering control was completely non functional. Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Question 2: Vehicle is incredibly difficult to control in turns. Requires a level of strength that the average driver does not possess, and if they do, operation of the vehicle is still extremely physically difficult. Question 3: Problem has been confirmed by multiple independent service centers. Question 4: Component has NOT been inspected by manufacturer, police, insurance representative. Component HAS been inspected by service center technicians and quoted for replacement at over $4,000. Question 5: Warning lamp indicating steering problem is always illuminated in the vehicle. Warning lamp initially appeared during the first failure, which occurred while operating the vehicle at highway speed.

My ABS module failed and the replacement part is no longer manufactured.

Fuel tank strap fell out of the holding slot and came the strap came into contact with drive shaft cutting the rear driveshaft into. causing it to drop and slinging it self under the truck till I got stoped driving down the road this could have caused a gas leak and sparks igniting the fuel or the back half of the drive shaft could had dug into the road causing the lost of control or flipping the truck

The magnetic material on the tone wheel detached causing a crank position sensor error code (P0336) and subsequent misfire while accelerating into traffic. The software had been updated per recall W58 (NHSTA 20V-475). Vehicle could be restarted but lacked full power. The vehicle is out of warranty, however, Stellantis directed that a dealer make repairs, customer pays out of pocket ($3200), and claim be submitted for reimbursement. Stellantis promptly denied the claim, despite correspondence in writing and recorded customer service phone call. A BBB complaint has been filed against Stellantis.

I turned on the highway and power steering gave out and went back ima couple days went out again and have t driven it since

The failure mileage was approximately 122,000.

Fuel tank bracket come off dropping the front of the fuel tank and got against the drive shaft and cut it in half causing the drive shaft to drop and bang around the under the truck to I was Abel to get stoped in the middle of the hwy this could had been a very serious. Have contacted Ram and this is a known problem that they do not want to repair the damage caused by the strap the drive shaft could had dug into the pavement cousin the truck to crash or bust the fuel tank and creating the tank to explode causing serious injury or death

Intermittent power steering loss. Can go for a couple of days and problem reoccurs. Cannot drive vehicle safely anymore. After re-start, power steering returns. Will fail again randomly.

The power steering system failed & is causing safety issues.

I bought the truck from a private owner and now my abs light and brake light is on.

The abs system is bad. I have 150000 on the truck. They are doing recalls on this system. But don't go back to 2014. There are other people having same issue. It's ashame that Dodge don't want to fix it. I'm on disability and it's a shame that a company can do this when you pay so much for a vehicle.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 20 MPH, the vehicle became difficult to maneuver. The Power Steering warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken back to the residence, and the vehicle was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 170,000.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 30 MPH, the vehicle became difficult to maneuver. The red steering warning light was illuminated. The contact used force to maneuver the steering wheel. The contact was able to pull over to the side of the road. The contact was later able to drive to the residence, but added effort was needed to steer the vehicle. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact parked the vehicle and no longer drove the vehicle due to safety concerns. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

My electric rack and pinion went out

Complete steering gear failure while driving. Son was driving truck and "steering wheel" icon warning light came on with loss of power steering. Was able to drive home without power assistance and I checked fuses and such to no avail. Did some online research and found quite a few issues related to steering gear failures. No one was hurt but definitely severe safety issue potential.

Steering wheel locked during a slight left hand curve and drove into the oncoming traffic! Thank God the oncoming traffic was far enough away to stop before hitting me head on! Upon researching this, it appears to be an ongoing issue and owners are forced to buy a complete rack and pinion set up of which are very limited in availability! An electronic EPS with no available electronic board Ever heard of right to repair but beyond that had oncoming traffic not been aware there could have been a major head on collision with serious injuries or even someone DEAD!

The ABS module (anti-lock brake module) has stopped working. My abs light, parking brake light, and traction control light stay on all the time and my anti-lock brakes are not working. This is SO common with 3rd generation Ram 1500’s (2013-2018) and I don’t understand why the abs module has not been recalled yet? The cost to replace the abs module is extremely expensive and if it a poorly designed part that will fail, Mopar should recall the part and replace it.

We have a 2014 dodge ram 1500 SLT with a 5.7 hemi. I was driving down the road and stopped at a red light and the truck shut off and wouldn't start again we had to tow it home. We had a mechanic look at the vehicle and run the codes for the truck to find out what was wrong it was a misfire in cylinder 3. We called a few mechanic shops in town to get other opinions and they all said the same thing its more than likely the lifters or the camshaft is bad and its a very common problem with this model truck with the engine and it would cost over $5,000 to fix it. I spoke to the dodge dealership in our town they said the same thing its more than likely the lifters they see it all the time and its around $5,000 plus to fix. Why is this allowed to happen if so many people are having this specific issue with this specific truck and this specific problem with the engine and cost us thousands to fix. This is a major safety issue what if the engine stopped while I was driving this could cause an accident. If you look it up online as well everyone is saying the same thing their problem was with the lifters. We haven't been able to get it fixed because of the cost and the cost to tow it to a mechanic. We just have it sitting in our driveway and when I found out so many others have this same issue something needs to be done.

The ABS Module, part 68228991AD in the 2014 Ram 1500 has failed on my truck and in a large number of vehicles i have found on Ram Truck forums. The failure of this part is impacting multiple systems in my truck and and has made those systems inoperable including ABS, stability control, trailer brake control, cruise control, and potentially others. I don't understand why a recall for this problem has not been issued. To add, the parts have been completely unavailable from Mopar or any supplier. I've had this problem since June 2025 and no part availability anywhere and my son has been driving the vehicle because we have no other choice but to drive this vehicle. Please advise soonest about what can be done to help remedy this situation, I am very concerned about the safety of those driving this vehicle with this problem. Thank you

My vehicles steering wheel wiring harness rubbed against the driver air bag module retainer spring causing it to break and now the parts need to be replaced. This was a validated recall on other models but for some reason it is not appearing under my VIN. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 15V459000 My vehicle is currently scheduled to get repaired by my mechanic but I believe this should be reimbursed as it was a reported recall on extremely similar models.

I own a 2014 Ram 1500 and my power steering went out. I could not turn the steering wheel at all. There was no warning or error message. I looked on line and saw that there were a number of complaints for the same issue for the same year, make and model. There was a recall for some vehicles but my truck was not part of the recall. I paid over $3600 at the dealership to fix the problem. I contacted Mopar and was told that my vin was not part of the recall and that they could not reimburse me.

Intermittent loss of power steering due to faulty EPS module. Warning in dash says service power steering. When this happens there is no power assist. Unit had been checked and verified that power, ground, and all other wires are i. Good working order. Problem is within EPS module.

Electric power steering is lost when weather is cold but as soon as the truck warms up the power steering starts to work again

Drove truck to work, was losing power steering intermittently with no dash or warning lights. While operating the vehicle the steering will become so hard that it feels like it could jerk your shoulder off. Steering is fine when driving straight, any turns causes the power steering to intermittently quit working, causing you to have to correct it so hard that you almost overturn the vehicle because the steering gets so tight and then lets loose. This vehicle is not currently safe to be operated. Have since tried to drive the vehicle and only get it backed out of the driveway and experience the same issue. Will have to have it towed. I have had a shop check over the vehicle, they have advised the power steering rack and pinion will need to be changed.

It doesn’t steer at all

All summer my pickup was fine, now that it is getting colder my power steering isn't working anymore. Seems like anything below 32° and my power steering will kick off and stop working. It has almost caused multiple crashes since the vehicle is hard to steer. I got it diagnosed by a dodge dealership, and they told me the internal control board is malfunctioning and needs to be replaced.

This is getting ridiculous. Every time my vehicle is washed at the dealership with the high power jets, water gets into the vehicle from the third brake light and blows the bulb. As a disabled vet, it is getting impossible to climb into the bed and replace. This time, I took it to the dealership, which they replaced. They solution? The third brake light unit needs to be sealed, including on all the other Rams including the news one. If Stellantis is aware of this, why is this not a recall? Their next recommendation? Stop getting the truck washed. Is dirty Rams everywhere the advertisement Stellatis wants? The new slogan should be, "buy a Ram, just don't wash it...ever". The third brake light bulb will not blow when the truck is detailed or it a normal to light rain. Between the heavy rains and the dealership's high powered water jets, there is a permanent water stain on my headliner. The dealership warned me that if too much water gets inside, it will damage the RTF (?), which will render the truck useless. This has been an ongoing problem since I have owned the truck, which was purchased in 2015 or 2016. I want to know directly from Stellantis that if I replace the third brake light (again), but with an aftermarket LED unit, will the light continue to leak. If you conduct an online search, you will see how many other Ram owners have the same problem, yet Stellantis does nothing. If Ram's high powered water jets blow the bulbs, why does Ram still use the high powered jets? I am asking that Stellantis replace all the Ram third brake lights with aftermarket LED units and seal those units. Additionally, I need my headliner replaced. Attached is today's receipt of the bulb being replaced along with my stained headliner. A vehicle cannot pass a safety inspection with the third brake light out. You can even see on the dealership's comments, "Do Not Wash Indefinitely".

Check engine light came on and then turning a corner my power steering turned off. Cause me to run off the road and almost crashed. It yanked me straight off the road. Put a code reader on it and C2200-49 was popping up.

Electronic power steering went out while I was operating the vehicle almost resulting in a wreck. Was intermittent after that, and now won't work at all making the vehicle undrivable.

The contact’s husband owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while her husband was driving 45 MPH, the vehicle lost power steering functionality with the message "Warning Power Steering" displayed. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the power steering gear was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

Starting to turn left and the power steering stopped working and made me go straight. Took it to dealer and checked out Power steering rack. I had no other option than to order part since this is the only vehicle i have. Immediately after the malfunction on the turn the "Service power steering" warning lamp showed up on dash.

Flexplate (flywheel) had tone wheel dislodge and destroy crank position sensor. After a $2200 repair quote from dealer and while at the dealer the repair shop claims the engine is failed completely and new ecodiesel engine is needed. Crankshaft is suspected failure. Vehicle had total loss of power when crank tone wheel failed. Very dangerous to find a shoulder without power while towing travel trailer. Vehicle was purchased due to longevity expected from diesel engine.

EPS Malfunctioning in an instant on the road. Never had this issue before, as I am driving on a curve, EPS or in this case a Red Flashing Steering wheel came on and my steering wheel locked almost causing an accident to myself, my safety was in a risk in an instant.

I was driving to work when my steering wheel started to jerk when making a left turn, all of the sudden it became real hard to steer and became difficult to drive.

On September 22, 2025, I was driving my wife to the store in my 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 Tradesman 5.7L Hemi Pickup. I was at a stop light waiting to turn left. When the light turned green, I proceeded to start my left turn, as I entered the intersection there was a tremendous jolt causing the steering wheel to violently jerk out of my hands and making it nearly impossible to turn the steering wheel. After nearly colliding with another vehicle waiting at the light in the opposite direction, it took all my strength to attempt to steer my vehicle since all power steering was gone. I veered my vehicle into a business driveway right at the intersection and was able to stop my vehicle. After I stopped, I noticed a "Hazard Light" flashing on the instrument panel, it was the " Electric Power Steering Fault Warning Light". I have since learned that there is and have been a "Recall" for a Power Steering problem with Ram Trucks in the same Year Range.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel felt stiff and became difficult to steer in either direction. The “Service Power Steering” warning light was illuminated. An appointment with the dealer was scheduled to inspect the vehicle. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 83,000.

Loss of power steering while driving.

Driving normally about 30mph about 2 minutes into my trip, heard chime and power steering stopped. Got it to the side of the road and re-started engine. Power steering came back. Drove about another 10 minutes and it happened again. Re-started engine and it was fine for the rest of the day.

The EPS system Electric Power Steering failed without warning while in the middle in a turn almost causing an accident and the truck running off the road. Other trucks of this model have problems with the EPS and have been recalled but my truck of the same model is not.

Steering is locking up while driving. Had a diagnostic done and they said the rack and pinion and EPS module needs replaced. According to the internet the RAM 1500s are all having issues and there have been safety recalls on the trucks. Except for the 2014 model year.

Loss of power steering while driving causing loss of control of vehicle.

The brake, traction control and ABS warning lights came on in the dashboard. I went to local auto parts store and they scanned the vehicle and I got a C2200-0049 DTC. This apparently means I there is an internal failure in the ABS Module. I went to my local dealer and they told me the ABS Module is backordered and it will be at least 45 days before I would be able to get the repair. I've looked online and have discovered there appears to be a severe shortage of availability of the part and has been for several years. I don't understand how such a critical component of a vehicle is unavailable. To my research, the required part number is 68228991-AD.

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while attempting to register the vehicle, it was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 138,000, and at the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 248,000.

My son was driving on the freeway and went to change lanes and all of a sudden the power steering system stopped working and he told me after the fact that it locked up and he could not turn the steering wheel so he hit a guard rail and flipped the truck on its side. It caught on fire instantly and he was lucky to be able to get out. A passerby stopped while the truck was on fire and held the passenger door opened for him as he climbed out. If there were any children in the vehicle, they might have not been so lucky! Could have killed my son and anybody else on the road that early morning. Should be a police report. No system failures at the time.

The air suspension system on the truck fails, it will not raise. I’ve replaced almost all the components of the air suspension system and it’s still not working. The system fails in any type of weather but often it does so more in winter. System has been reset multiple times. Compressor has been replaced twice, relay replaced, fuses replaced, lines have been checked, height sensors have been replaced. Looking at online forums, this seems to be an issue with many Dodge Rams of 2014 as well as other years.

My 2014 Ram 1500 ABS light, traction control, and brake light popped up and if I drive it for a short bit and stop and shut it off and crank it up the light don’t come back on. It has been doing this all the time through the winter and now says on all the time. All so the back up camera doesn’t power up when you first start vehicle for about two minutes on the radio display. The camera not coming on creates a big safety issue when backing up. We have small grandchildren and this makes it a big safety concern.

Abs light, park brake light and traction control warninglights on dash. Non are working vehicle slides on wet pavement. Took to repair shop was informed this is a common problem with this year and model. No parts are available for a fix. Was told by a Ram dealership they have at least 5 vehicles waiting on parts and could be up to a year before any are available. Vehicle is not able to be operated safely. Ram should be held responsible for negligence. 1 year later still waiting on parts

Airbag light comes on and beeps then shits off intermittently. Happens every time we drive the vehicle. I noticed there were other past recalls about the ABS warning light coming on. The message on dash says "Service Airbag System". Our truck has never been in an accident, the horn still works, wiring looks secure for airbag harness, not sure if this is a common problem but I googled it and I've seen several Ram owners with the same light on.

the electric steering. yes it is available to inspect. steering intermittantly fails and very hard to turn. when turning it doesnt wanna turn and almost hit a car and some objects. no the vehicle has not yet been inspected by dealer due to cost of everything. no the vehicle has not been inspected at all yet. no i have not seen any warning lamps or messages in regards to the steering. it just started happening. ive heard and read alot that have had the same issues

The contact's husband owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that the horn initially failed to operate as needed. The contact then received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V459000 (Air Bags), which was linked to the horn failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for the recall repair. Recently, the horn failure returned, along with select steering wheel options that also failed to operate as needed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the vehicle was diagnosed with a defective wiring harness and clock spring, and the contact was given an estimate for the repair. The contact then received a notice from the manufacturer about a lifetime warranty on the vehicle under the D-17 clock spring lifetime warranty. The contact called the dealer and informed them about the warranty notice. The dealer stated that there were no recalls on the vehicle and refused to honor the warranty. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the ABS warning light illuminated, causing the cruise control mode and the 4WD system to become inoperable. Additionally, the traction control, the brakes, and the check engine warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that while driving and braking or accelerating on a wet road surface, the vehicle was sliding. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the contact was informed that an electronic brake control system part needed to be replaced, but the part had been discontinued. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. Additionally, the contact stated that while driving and turning, the electric power steering was inoperable intermittently, but the vehicle experienced excessive unintended steering efforts while turning the wheel back to center after making a turn. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 68,000.

Electric Power Steering Loss Entire Power steering and front end rack steering had to be replaced.

Background: Vehicle purchased in Madison, WI at Schoepp Motors (July 2019). Has been continuously titled, registered, and insured in Wisconsin for over 6 years. Vehicle is fully legal in the U.S. and has a valid Wisconsin title. Issue: The fuel tank strap rusted and failed. This is a well-documented problem for Ram trucks, and Stellantis created an Extended Warranty (Code X75) to address the issue. Stellantis’ database still lists this VIN as a “Canadian market” vehicle. Because of this coding error, U.S. dealerships cannot process coverage under the Fuel Tank Strap Extended Warranty (X75, 12 years / unlimited miles). The X75 program exists specifically due to a safety concern (fuel tank strap corrosion). Despite multiple attempts to resolve this with Stellantis, I have only been directed to “contact a broker,” which does not address the underlying database problem. Timeline: 2019: Vehicle purchased in Madison, WI. 2019–2025: Vehicle continuously titled, registered, and insured in Wisconsin. August 26, 2025: Dealer confirms VIN is coded as Canadian and cannot process warranty coverage. August 27, 2025: Case opened with Stellantis US Customer Care (#[XXX]). Multiple calls and emails → Stellantis repeatedly instructs me to contact a broker, without identifying required documentation. I offered to provide Wisconsin title, registration, and insurance history. Broker consulted → confirmed import documents are not retained after 5 years (per CBP retention rules). Stellantis refuses to escalate meaningfully; no path forward provided. Concern: The X75 program is a safety-related warranty that Stellantis is refusing to honor for a U.S. resident with long-term U.S. ownership. All reasonable avenues with Stellantis Customer Care have been exhausted. I am requesting regulatory review and intervention to compel Stellantis to correct the VIN market assignment and honor the X75 safety program. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 MPH and exiting a highway, the contact heard a chime and became aware of the "Service Power Steering" warning light. The contact stated that the steering wheel became difficult to turn. The contact used additional force on the steering wheel to turn the steering wheel to the right and jerked the steering wheel to the center. The contact stopped the vehicle and disconnected the battery terminals to reset the system. The vehicle regained power steering functionality, but almost immediately, the vehicle lost steering assist functionality. The vehicle was driven to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the power steering assist module and the rack and pinion gears had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19E077000 (Steering). The manufacturer was informed of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 260,000.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that the fuel tank frame bracket had detached, and the fuel tank was hanging loose. The vehicle was taken to three independent mechanics, who determined that the frame rail bracket and fuel tank straps needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance because the vehicle was imported from Canada. The contact was advised to contact a customs broker for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

After rigorous research, it appears that my anti-lock braking system module has failed. A trusted family member that has worked on a plethora of vehicles during their career has performed an inspection and agrees. With the ABS module failing, this can be a significant safety issue for myself and others who own the same vehicle in both collision prevention and defensive driving maneuvers when necessary. I have called Ram dealerships specifically to inquire if the part is available, and it is not available but is in high demand (even dealerships are having difficulty with acquiring the part). After a significant amount of research, it is blatantly obvious that I am not the only one who can't find this needed part. This is my only vehicle for transportation. I have ordered the part with a third-party auto part vendor ($915.00) and have received an email from them advising me that the part I ordered and need is out of stock, and my spot in line is reserved for when the part becomes available. After even more research, I have learned that the manufacturer for Ram parts no longer manufactures this particular part. There currently are warning lights on (ABS, traction control, and the brake indicator) they have remained on since diagnosing this issue and have not gone away. With that being said, this can have a significant impact on immediate braking if necessary, and can lead to other problems such as stability control, transmission issues, uneven braking, parking brake failure, and ultimately total brake failure while in motion. This is not just an issue for me, but apparently for a significant amount of 2013-2015 Ram owners as well. I am on a budget; there is zero supply and high demand. Ram owners are hemorrhaging money regarding repairs to this necessary component for safe vehicle functionality. With this being my mode of transportation, I'm having to be even more aware of extra safety precautions which adds a significant amount of unnecessary stress as a driver.

The power steering on the vehicle is stiff due to a communication error to the right pinion. At highway speeds the vehicle’s steering wheel lock up resulting in abrasive movements and a loss of control of the vehicle steering. When the vehicle is at a low rate speed, the steering wheel is very hard to turn, which has almost resulted in a number of vehicle collisions. After extension of research, I have became aware there’s a pending lawsuit with no power regarding this issue. It is approximately three to $4000 to replace the power steering rack and pinion. There have been numerous complaint as mentioned in the lawsuit. I believe if this issue is not immediately addressed, and a recall is submitted from Mopar motor vehicle accidents will increase resulting into severe injury threat to the general public.

Steering suddenly stopped working, causing me to have a hard time turning the steering wheel to complete my turn.I have found out that Ram is recalling certain Ram trucks but mine is not included in the recall.

While driving on winding country roads (30mph speed limit) the electronic power steering chimed and lost all assistance. I almost ran into another car/ off the road as steering became extremely difficult. I was able to get the wheel turned and come to a stop.I have never had an issue with the steering before so this was very unexpected. The truck is completely stock, regularly maintained and only has about 150000 miles on it. I was able to pull codes from my scanner C2217-00 Electric Power Steering Internal Failure. The fact that I have driven a truck that had hydraulic power steering fail and had more control is alarming.

Intermittent Power Steering Faulire

The contact owns a 2014 RAM 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the ABS warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the ABS module had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the ABS module had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was informed that the parts were on backorder. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed and closed three times. The failure mileage was approximately 66,000.

I have my 2014 Dodge Ram in for service for my ABS module replacement, part number 68228991AD, after the ABS light and traction control light came on. I have been told the part is on back order and has been for quite some time. The dealer has called other dealers to locate the part, and all are in the same situation, cannot locate that part. This is a safety issue to do with the braking of the vehicle and if continued driving with a faulty ABS Module, could lead to brakes locking up or vehicle not stopping when needed. How can this part be on back order so long and people having to take risks and drive their vehicles with the issue as they may not having anything else to drive. My vehicle has been at the dealer since July 10th, 2025 awaiting this part. They tell me they do not have a date as to when it can be expected to arrive or if it will arrive. They gave recommended to me not to drive the vehicle in this situation as I could be in accident when the brakes are needed. This needs to be addressed and this part should be recalled as I have done my own investigation online and there are lots of people with this same problem and unable to get the part. Some people have become desperate and purchased refurbished or used ABS modules for this same vehicle and paid a significant amount for it just to have it fail just shortly after installation. Driving with a faulty ABS module can be risky as it disables the ant-locking system, potentially leading to wheel lockup and reduced steering control during braking, especially in slippery conditions. This needs to be addressed by your organization as the safety of human beings and their families are at risk of accidents with potential deaths.

ABS control module failed. I lost traction control while driving and spun out on the road. After that I found that not only does this failure affect traction control but ABS and cruise control.

The Electronic Power Steering unit cut out intermittently causing loss of power steering. While the rest of the vehicle operates properly, the loss of power assist makes it difficult to maneuver the vehicle. I took the vehicle to the Ram dealership in Martinsburg, WV. There, the mechanic assessed the gear rack for the power steering needed to be replace at an estimated cost of ~$4,300. The power steering warning light it lit when it is in the failure mode. The symptoms first appeared in May 2025. The vehicles has less that 50,000 miles on it and has never been driven off-road.

Power steering module failed ,loss of steering.part was retained by dealer doing repair.The part has been repaired.The part has not been inspected by anyone other than the dealer doing the repair.The warning light only appeared at time of failure.The incident definitely occurred due to faulty power steering module,this was determined by the repairing dealership.

FRONT FUEL TANK STRAP RUSTED AND BROKE. LUCKILY TRUCK WAS AT HOME WHEN I NOTICED THIS PROBLEM. FRONT OF TANK IS ONLY INCHES FROM THE GROUND AND COULD PRESENT A MAJOR HAZARD IF I CONTINUED TO OPERATE THIS VEHICLE.

I was driving my truck and my power steering went out. I had very little steering and almost ran into a cement wall. My steering wheel will barely turn. I got it to a mechanic, and I was told I need an entire new steering rack. Part number 68628858AA. I had zero notification that this was going to happen. It was driving fine. This is almost $4000 to fix. I only have 68,000 miles on my truck. This part needs to be recalled on 2014 Rams. After some research there are several cases of this exact issue. It won't let me download my receipts

The ABS control module failed on my 2014 Ram 1500 and is no longer available from Mopar. The part (68228991AD) is discontinued or on indefinite backorder. This disables a federally required safety system (ABS and electronic stability control). Dealerships will not install used parts, and there is no OEM solution. This renders the vehicle unsafe to operate and poses a risk to me and others on the road. Dodge/Stellantis needs to provide a solution or replacement. I’m requesting NHTSA investigation and recall if necessary.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that the ABS light was illuminated. The contact stated that the braking distance was extended while depressing the brake pedal. Additionally, the traction control warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed and it was determined that the control module had failed and needed to be repaired. The contact inquired if the VIN was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 13V287000 (Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and the dealer confirmed the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 13V287000 (Electronic Stability Control (ESC) nor covered under warranty. The failure mileage was approximately 113,000.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the parking brake and check engine warning lights illuminated. The messages "ABS Unavailable" and "Traction Control Unavailable" were displayed. Additionally, the speedometer was inoperable.

The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 184,000.

Driving under normal conditions, truck had been running perfectly for the 3 months I owned it. Coming down a hill on the freeway, lights started blinking on the dash, then making a knocking noise, lost pressure (all control) of gas pedal, then white smoke from drivers side, then grey smoke, then completely engulfed in flames within 5 minutes of dash blinking. Complete loss of engine bay

After starting truck the Service Power Steering light came on. Can't turn the steering wheel-steering is locked up. It appears Chrysler knows about it and has recalled some 2015 Model Years for this problem, but no recalls for this for the 201 Model Year. This could be a safety hazard if this happens while driving the truck.

Power steering completely went out steering wheel extremely hard to turn.

The fuel pump in the 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 Longhorn Lemaire overheats while driving with less than a quarter tank of petrol. Stalling during acceleration, prolonged cranking durations prior to ignition, and abrupt power loss at highway velocities causes significant warning signs. Engine surges at times and cause irregular idling. Whining and buzzing sounds emanating from the fuel tank region. Decreased fuel efficiency without justification. The check engine light is illuminated with fuel pressure-related codes (P0087, P0190). Research indicates that 4th generation Rams (2009-2018) frequently experience failures owing to inadequate factory pumps and issues with the TIPM (Totally Integrated Power Module) relay. The fifth-generation vehicles (2019 and beyond) exhibit a reduction in failures; nonetheless, they remain susceptible to contamination from degraded plastic tanks when ethanol-blended gasoline is utilized over extended periods, and pressure below requirements indicates pump failure.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while his son was driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel became stiff and was difficult to turn to the left or the right. No warning light was illuminated. The local dealer was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 180,000.

this vehicle is equipped with 3.0 litre ecodiesel. truck has been in for numerous recalls--no problem. i have spoken to numerous buyers of these trucks with this engine and virtually everyone has replaced engine once or sometimes twice. i needed to replace toner wheel behind flywheel a couple weeks ago. this was a 1200.00 fix. stellantis's fix was to reprogram ecu so engine would not fail on highway but did not address the root cause of the problem. i find it appalling that stellantis has not been forced to extend the warranty on these engines since every customer paid extra for the longevity of diesel power. i am afraid to drive this truck since there are probably 2-3 rams every week on facebook marketplace locally with seized engines. this truck has 135000 miles and i am afraid the end is near.

Anti-Lock Brake Module Internal Failure, error code C2200--49. This ABS failure also takes out the following safety features, anti-lock braking, traction control, trailer towing brake controller, and cruise control. As a result I do not have these safety features, and I tow a 10,000 lb rated trailer that required that the OEM factory brake controller works. A new module is $1200 plus, however there are NONE to be found. It has been on National Back Order for several years, and affects many year models. Failure at first was intermittent and worked during cold weather, but once up to 70 degrees or above it failed consistently, then finally failed permanently. l Intermittent Failure was real risk when towing, as you could not depend on system working in case of emergency.

I started my 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 and began to drive it. Without any prior warnings, my power steering went out. Fortunately, I had not made it to a major road to put any others in danger by not being able to maneuver the vehicle or driving down the highway and possibly wrecking the truck. At this time, I'm currently looking for a mechanic that can assess the damage but was saddened to see how there have been recalls for the electronic power steering system on 2015 and 2016 Dodge Rams but NOT the 2014 when so many others have experienced the same difficulties.

Side and front collision - no airbag deployment

Our power steering has stopped working and there was a recall on Ram 1500 models for this defect but not for the 2014 which has the same steering component. We would like the 2014 model and any model that has the same defective steering to be included. This is a very expensive fix and very dangerous to operate like this

We were driving down the highway and heard a weird grinding type noise. We pulled right over to check what was wrong and noticed the fuel tank strap mount had broken apart at the frame from corrosion. Causing it to rest against the driveshaft and creating a deep groove in the driveshaft its self .

The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 142,399.

ABS module for 2014-2016 Ram 1500 5.7l is (and has been) on ‘indefinite back order’. I researched and found that I am far from unique when it comes to this assembly. The ABS module failure also causes issues with traction control. Due to lack of parts, and high cost of repair, I was concerned with the safety of this truck. Over the last week, I was forced to trade in the truck.

I purchased This truck new in 2014 and have had very few problems with it, but now the ABS module is defective which affects the brakes, traction control, cruise, with all lights on. In driving the vehicle under wet roads it has gone out of control and is dangerous. Ram has told me that the parts are back ordered and recently gave me incorrect information as to the extent of this parts problem. I paid over 50k for this vehicle to keep in my older years and I do not want to have to change now . This is a real problem that could get someone hurt or killed. They say it is not a recall issue but there are thousands of these parts needed and Ram seems to [XXX]. I don't usually voice a complain but this hits home to me.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who determined that the electrical system had failed, but the contact was unaware of what repairs were needed. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

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 repair shop and was told the ABS Controle 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 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. Located at: [XXX] This is not just an issue with 2014 Ram trucks, but extends to other model years using the same part number. This is a huge safety issue that should be addressed through a recall and the NHTSB has the power to right this wrong. Stellantis is doing what large corporations do and protecting their bottom line at the expense of putting customers' safety at risk. We are the little guys with limited financial means and power, to go up against a large corporation to get them to act and do what is right. Please advise soonest.

The abs module for this vehicle has failed and is a major safety hazard. A known issue that has been on going with this particular part for years. I myself have waited over 6 months with a lemon of a truck because the part is on back order. We have called multiple dealerships and their response has been, “the part is on manufacturing review. “ No recall for this specific part has been issued and no dealership/insurance or Chrysler themselves have not provided us or any others with a solution.

Vehicle is a 2014 Ram 1500 with electric rack and pinion steering. The truck has 96XXX miles on it. When starting the truck the "service power steering" warning comes on in the info center and truck does not have power steering and is very difficult to turn. There have been times that the steering warning lamp is on on startup (different than the "service power steering" warning) and the steering doesn't work . This is a widespread issue with this model of truck. After trouble shooting it has been determined the electronic module is bad and it is $4200.00 to replace at the dealer. There was a limited recall on the 2016 models for the same problem but for a very limited number of trucks. This is an ongoing issue for these trucks. It's not a mater of if they fail it is a matter of when. Most of the reports I have read is that they fail between 60- 100K miles. This is Very dangerous if it fails when driving. Since this has been not recalled the problem doesn't show up on a carfax or any other car reports so you have no idea this is a thing until it happens to you.

LOSS OF STEERING

While driving on the expressway power steering went out. My wife was driving with my granddaughter in the car with her. Looks like there has already been a recall on this year ram 1500 but not my specific VIN? From what i am seeing here it should be included

Power steering quit working while I was driving without warning. I have replaced the battery and tried numerous solutions and they have not resulted in fixing the power steering. Outside of replacing the entire rack, I have run out of options. My fear is that if I had been with my children, driving on a winding road, or otherwise, this error could have cost me thousands of dollars or totaled the vehicle and/or caused innumerable cost of damage to property or other vehicles and people. Without a resolution, the vehicle is rendered inoperable. According to the Mooar website [XXX] ) cost to replace has been estimated to be between $3105.00-$3870.00 before adding the service fees. This is a vehicle that our family of five needs. It is also something that is too costly to repair and we cannot trade it in or sell it for any real value. This issue is a safety concern that should be addressed of the highest concern. Other 2014 Ram 1500’s have been recalled due to concerns regarding the power steering; however, our vehicle was not given a recall. [XXX] ). I feel that this defect is extremely dangerous. Without warning, the power steering will intermittently stop working. Trying the truck off and waiting sometimes solves the issue but that isn’t always the case and expecting customers to drive a vehicle that has a defect that is a hazard, is irresponsible and has already cost our family money that we have needed for other expenses. Thank you for allowing me to contact you and I look forward to hearing from you with a solution to this problem.

I turn the truck on to leave said place, put the truck in reverse, try to turn steering wheel and it wouldn’t turn. Then a steering wheel light comes on with an ! Exclamation point. I start looking up issues on rack and pinion steering issues for the Vin number. That shows that a lot of people have been having the same issues so I take my truck to the dealership after calling and confirming that there was a recall, and after running their test or whatever now they’re saying that there is no recall so here I am filing report because I need there to be a recall on this. There’s multiple people that I’ve been going through the same issue. I also cannot afford a 4000to $5000 bill to get it fixed.

Electric Power Steering goes out intermittently. Common issue with these trucks. I believe the recall needs to be expanded. Doubtful I'll waste money fixing it myself. May just have to shop around for a new GM or Ford since Ram is no longer American owned.

My Electronic Power Steering Rack failed intermittently. After further research, I discovered that other Ram year models between 2013 and 2019 had recalls on the electric assited power steering rack. Unfortunately, my VIN is NOT subject to any of the recalls mentioned above even though some of the parts are the same. I believe that the Rack or it's inner individual parts is defective in it's design and unsafe, as the power steering can fail during operation, causing a loss of control and could result in a crash. The part has now completely failed and the vehicle is parked and not driveable. It is available for inspection here at my residence. I have not had the truck inspected by a Dodge dealer since the VIN is NOT under a steering recall. I am certain that it should be. Driving the vehicle could be dangerous and deadly with this kind of failure.

This problem first surfaced during the fall of 2023. Starting the vehicle having been parked overnight, the electonic power steering on the Ram 1500 failed. This made steering the vehicle especially difficult. Very hard turning. Difficult to maneuver into tight spaces, turns, and parking spots. A right turn into the right lane is almost impossible due to the exaggerated turn radius required without the EPS. The dashboard does show a red urgency light that looks like a steering wheel with exclamation points on the left and right sides. This was the first time the power steering failed. A couple days later the system returned and functioned normally. However, several times since then, particularly during high humidity, rain, or even after certain snow events, the power steering has failed to operate properly. As of this writing, on May 1, 2025, we have been without benefit of the EPS since December 2024. Even though the days are no longer humid and they are getting warmer, the system has not reverted to full operation. In early 2024 a Dodge sales and service garage gave a quote to replace the entire rack and pinion, stating that there was a computer component on there that needed replacing. Calls to two more repairmen and online Internet searches returned the same general price quotes. Online searches into this problem show that there are many other complaints of the same type of malfunction for the Ram 1500 over the past about six years.

ABS failure warning light came on. Two separate mechanics verified it as an ABS module failure. This module has been recalled for 2017 and newer Ram trucks and demand is so high that they are not available from Chrysler corporation. I now have a truck with no reliable braking system and no repair option. I found a company that claims to repair other ABS modules, but not this one. I feel that this is a major safety issue.

The Foam protector that goes on the head rest cracked and is crumbling. I contacted them about the issue but they said that warranty was over and they tried to sell me the same car seat for a discounted price. My sister had bought the same exact car seat and she had the same issue with the foam head rest. I believe the quality of the foam part that goes in the head rest is faulty, it shouldn't have cracked and crumbled. My child's safety was at risk, if i had not taken it apart to wash it I would have not noticed it. I believe these specific car seats are not safe for use.

The Power steering system on our 2014 Ram is faulty and we were told there is a recall associated with this issue but it does not include our Vin Number. If this is a known issue with the Rams from 2013-2016 why haven't all the models been recalled. As of this time the issue only happens when first starting the truck and then the warning light goes off. We are afraid to drive this vehicle.

My electric power steering rack has failed. The vehicle is very hard to steer and unsafe to drive. I know there was a recent recall affecting 1500 Rams which included my model year of 2014.

The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the electric power steering assist had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

ABS module failure. Doesn’t allow traction control, ABS, or cruise control to work. Module was diagnosed bad at dealership and Chrysler can’t get a replacement module manufactured. Have already paid for the module in August of last year and still can’t get one.

Lost connection with the restraint control module. I have 97,000 miles on my truck., and the air bags module malfunctioned at the same time. Now I am a bit worried about driving my truck.

Parked my truck and service power steering light came on. Took it to the dealer and they confirmed that it is the power steering control module failed internally. I see that there is a common problem with the same issue, I bought this truck and it only has 37,000 miles on it

The fuel strap rutsted through the frame its a recall on previous years and mine it’s the year after the recall. Yes available upon inspection request my gas tank fell in the middle of me driving down the road at 40 and was putting groves in my drive shaft. I’ve read online a lot of people are having this issue. No warning lights just a terrible sound of the broken strap cutting into my drive shaft.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving at 50 MPH, the vehicle became difficult to maneuver. The Electronic Power Steering warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken back to the residence. The contact used a diagnostic tool to diagnose the vehicle and determined that the steering rack and pinion needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.

When I start the engine the power steering light comes on. The steering wheel remains very firm and the wheel can not be turned. After approx 10-15 minutes, depending on how long it takes the vehicle to warm up, the power steering light will go out. At this time the vehicle can be driven and the light has not come back on while driving. There was a former recall on this same type of issue in the past involving the EPS. I have filled out this form before and feel that this is huge safety issue and I believe this warrants another recall. There are several forums online discussing others having this same issue. Thanks

Was backing into a parking stall, I turned the wheel to the right and started to back up, when I did this, the lower control are broke away from the frame of the truck. The truck was taken to Hendricks Dodge in Charlotte, NC. It was inspected, determined that it was a manufacture failure. It was submitted to insurance as well, they had an independent investigator look at it, they also determined that it was a manufacture failure. Had I been on the road or interstate this would have caused a major accident. Submitted an Insurance claim. Claim was denied, stating it was a Manufacture Failure. Insurance Company Hired an Independent Appraiser / Investigator. No warnning lights or indicators.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact that the vehicle was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel), and a partial repair was performed; however, after an inspection, it was determined that no replacement of the high-pressure fuel pump was necessary, and the additional repair was not performed. The contact stated that within 2,000 miles of receiving the recall repair, while driving at approximately 55 MPH the vehicle lost motive power while attempting to accelerate. The contact coasted to the side of the road however, the contact was unable to turn off the vehicle. After several attempts, the contact shifted to park, restarted the vehicle, and continued driving. The contact stated that there were several unknown warning lights flashing. While driving 40 MPH, the vehicle continued sputtering while attempting to accelerate. While stopped at a stop light and then accelerating, the vehicle only accelerated to 15 MPH and then stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle after several attempts. The vehicle was driven to the dealer and the contact was informed that the high-pressure fuel pump could not be replaced since the VIN was no longer under recall related to the failure. The vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic who diagnosed the erratic reading of the fuel pump at the fuel rail and removed the fuel filter that was black and contaminated with metal and debris. The fuel filter was replaced; however, the vehicle was considered inoperable due to fuel pump failure. The contact was informed that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened a case. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was 203,225.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that when the vehicle was started, the ABS and brake warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the ABS sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that almost a year later, while driving approximately 30 MPH in inclement weather, the vehicle lost traction and slid. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the steering wheel was seized, and the power steering warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was restarted, and the contact stated that the steering wheel became difficult to turn. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The dealer was not contacted.

The electric power steering (EPS) system on my 2014 Ram 1500 has intermittently failed, most recently when transitioning from idle, such as leaving a parking lot, and during deep turns. This marks the third time I've experienced steering-related issues with this truck. Each time the EPS fails, a "Service Power Steering" alert appears, and the steering becomes extremely difficult, posing a serious safety risk, especially in situations requiring precise maneuvering or sudden corrections. A sudden loss of steering control could lead to a collision, potentially resulting in serious injury or death. This issue has been previously repaired twice—once by the original dealer and once under warranty after I purchased the truck, without prior knowledge of the problem. Despite these repairs, the failure has returned, indicating an unresolved or recurring defect. The issue has not yet been diagnosed or confirmed by a dealer or independent mechanic for this latest occurrence. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the traction control, ABS, and check engine warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the ABS Module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

On or about [XXX], I was traveling on [XXX] in Thomasville GA. As I turned left onto [XXX} The steering wheel suddenly, without notice, locked left a spun right to 12 o'clock,, straight alignment which caused my left risk to to snap and I believe would have been broken if I had not let go of the steering wheel. This caused the vehicle to veer into the left lane slightly across the center lane where oncoming traffic deemed it necessary to veer right to curbside to prevent a collision. Although almost impossible to steer, I managed to turn it around and get it back into my yard which is approximately 800 feet . The steering remained almost impossible to steer after a few checks and then and now it is permanently locked. There were at the time of incident, no warning lights. There after: the service power steering light appears. Thomasville Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram advised that the EPS rack and pinion is the cause and has to be replaced. I contacted Chrysler Customer service and spoke to customer service representative Ian who advised a recall for this issue is forthcoming and he allegedly tried to assist with this repair. However other customer service representatives deny Ian's statement to me and even claim that he does not work there. The claim number he provided to me is case #[XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Steering started getting very tight and wheel not returning properly to center. I actually have to pull the wheel back to go straight. Truck will drift in a lane from right to left however very tight steering makes it hard to correct easily. According to dealership these trucks have a common problem with the electronic rack and pinion and it needs to be replaced.

On 2/20/25 I was driving making a turn it was hard to turn I checked to power steering fluid and it was fine. I checked for any leaks there was none. Then I took it to the mechanic and they said I need a new Steering Gear Assembly ( around $4,000) I see there are a lot of other people having the same problems with the Ram1500.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the messages "Service Trailer Brake System, Service Electronic Braking System, and Service Anti-lock Brake System" were displayed on the instrument panel. The ABS warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with ABS control module. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 105,000.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving approximately 65 MPH and following a curve to the right, the steering wheel was very difficult to turn. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent but occurred at various speeds while turning to the right or the left. The contact researched online and became aware that there were many reports of intermittent failures of the power steering assist with similar vehicles. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a dealer or to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 161,835.

My power steering has suddenly become intermittent. It works sporadically during a turn. I am receiving no warning signs or codes for this problem. I have read on line that there was a study being done by NHTSA (2003) about a possible recall for this issue. Can you tell me the results of the findings? Has the study been completed?

ABS module failed, Error Code C2200. Issue is so common that replacements parts are unavailable nationwide and have been for months. Dealership has reported that the module is under "Engineering Review" with the manufacturer and has been for over a year with the deadlines being extended repeatedly. This is a safety issue, and the truck cannot be repaired.

Was told by my mechanic that the ABS control module needs to be replaced. All ABS warning lights are illuminated on the dash panel cluster. He said the Ram/Mopar has an over 1 year wait for this part to be back in stock. That is insane. What scam is this from FCA/RAM? Are people supposed to drive around their truck and hope the ABS system doesn't fail and end of hurting someone because they discontinued the part. Absolute frustrating and uncalled for by FCA/RAM. This also a very widespread issue with these modules in RAM trucks and why isn't something done about this? How can they sell vehicles that are potentially very very unsafe?

I was driving in a 55 MPH 2 lane road, when all of sudden the power steering went out. I had to man handle the steering wheel back to my house. It has 122000 miles on it but that should never happen, could of been a real bad outcome. I have checked out everything and have narrowed it down to the EPS system.

ABS module is faulty. I was told at the local Pep Boys after running a diagnostic test that the ABS module has an error. There is a recall on the electronic systems with the ABS I am aware of and would like to have that fixed on a recall.

ABS Control Module has failed. The part number is 68228991AD. The dealership informed me the manufacturer no longer makes this part, and they were unable to resolve the issue. While I was advised by the dealership the truck is ok to drive, my additional research indicated a failed ABS module can lead to the wheels locking up while driving, the speedometer to stop working and the transmission locking out due to the computer system thinking there’s a break failure. This is a huge safety risk to others around me on the road, myself and my family.

I have been the only owner of this truck since it was new from the factory. Some time in the first part of 2022 the ABS module light on the dash was coming on and then going off. When I needed an oil change I took the truck to the dealer I always go to and informed the service writer about it. They said they couldn't check it out for the module until it completely goes out. So, on 5/22/23 I took the truck to the dealer cause the ABS module went out along with my trailer brake control and traction control. The service writer called the parts depart. to see if the module was in house and parts said they would have to order it. Service writer said I could drive the truck and I told them that the brakes are not the same as when the module was working. I told them that you have to push harder on the pedal and that the brakes are not stopping as quickly. He said it would be alright. Every time I take the truck in for an oil change I ask them about the module and call them quite often and the service writer's tell me the same about the module. Parts can not get a module from the manufacturer and don't know when they will get one but, the part is on order. The service writer did give me a phone number to the manufacturer linking me to a help department to see if they can inquire or know why the company is not making them. On 1/23/25 I did call the manufacturer and talk to one of the personal there. The person did not have any information on the module and they said they couldn't tell me why there are no ABS MODULES and that I should keep calling the parts department at my local dealer. So, I guess I don't know when the brakes will completely go out while I am driving it or my family is in it with me that may cause a wreck. I can't pull my camper and haven't for two years now. I don't know what will happen on a rain slick road or an ice and snow covered road. I can't sell the truck or trade it in to get a proper vehicle. Please help Thank You

The vehicle has a fault in the ABS system that is causing the ABS light to stay on, as well as the traction control light and the Brake light. This means the brakes will lock up, causing the vehicle to slide, the vehicle has no assisted traction control, and the cruise control will not engage. In a vehicle like this (a pick-up truck) the back end is notoriously light and will easily loose traction during emergency braking and without traction control, can easily lose control on wet roads. The part needed to repair this issue, the ABS Module, is unavailable anywhere...and has been for years now. Some can still be found in old junk vehicles, or for sale out of used vehicles, but these have no guarantee and are no safer or less susceptible to failure than the stock product. No to mention they can only be found at exorbitant prices since they are in such high demand on an obviously sub-par part. Why does this part have so many issues and why is it impossible to fix? The vehicle is unsafe without this fix! The tires absolutely slide on wet roads now with loss of steering control and the rear end easily breaks free of traction on wet roads! The vehicle also will not pass inspection anymore because of this issue. This has been a problem for a year at this point.,

ABS system failure. Unable to repair the ABS control module because the part is not available making the passenger rear wheel lose traction while starting to move and driving at highway speeds causing the rear of the vehicle to fishtail on dry roads. Even with new tires installed.

Power steering locked up while driving.

I parked my truck which had been having no problems and went to get back in it the next day and the steering wheel light came on in the dash and the steering wheel was locked up. Spoke with a dodge dealership and they said they was aware of the problems unfortunately there was no recall on this and my only option is to buy a whole new steering rack which is not cheap. Truck is available for inspection but there is know way to drive it but does startup and everything else works properly. Just glad this happened while truck was sitting still and not driving down the road.

I have a complete loss of power steering on my vehicle. At first it was intermittent. I could be driving the vehicle and lose power steering. I could have power steering, shut the vehicle off and restart it and have no power steering. Early on when I lost power steering I could put the scanner on which it would indicate code c2217, clear the code and power steering would resume. This no longer works and there is complete power steering loss. I contacted Ram customer service on 12/23/2024 and was given case id 91757632. I contacted them on 1/22/2025 and was given case id 91960594. I was promised that someone would contact me within 24 hours, no response. I then contacted them on 2/3/2025 and was given the same promise with no response. On 2/5/2025 I once again called Ram customer support and asked to speak with a manager. I was told that I would be contacted within 24 to 48 hours which they documented via email, no response. From my research I have learned that the probable cause is a manufacturing defect being a contaminated circuit board. Recall S19 has been issued for 2015/2016 trucks but to date not for mine. I am left with a life threatening vehicle and I cannot even begin to describe the runaround that these representatives have given me.

The power steering motor died. My 2014 RAM 1500 is no longer drivable due to not being able to steer. My truck is currently at the dealership, and it is going to cost $4050 to replace the part. I have 117k miles on the truck and it is almost 10 years old, major components like the power steering should not go out this early in the vehicle's life. I do not see a recall currently opened, but I do see where several people have posted the same issue as me.

The contact owned a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving 60 MPH in the mountains, the check engine light illuminated. There was an abnormally strong odor of anti-freeze inside the cab. There was antifreeze coming from the tailpipe. The contact and her son noticed smoke on the side of the vehicle. The contact decreased her speed to approximately 45 MPH and was able to pull over. After stopping, the vehicle caught fire and was engulfed in flames. The contact stated that the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V757000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The contact, her son, and her dog were able to exit the vehicle safely. The contact and her son sustained a traumatic injury, but medical attention was not provided. The dog sustained unknown injuries and was taken to the veterinarian for medical attention. A police report was not filed. The fire department was able to extinguish the fire. The local dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. Before the failure, the vehicle had been taken to the same dealer for NHTSA Campaign Number 19V757000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot. The insurance company deemed the vehicle a total loss. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

I had my 2014 Ram 1500 Ecodiesel serviced for a recall regarding the crankshaft position sensor, recall 66A/NHSTA 23V-411 in December of 2023. The recall calls for an update to be downloaded to the crankshaft position sensor to allow it to continue functioning when the adhesive fails on the magnetic strip on the tone wheel. In January of 2025 I was driving down the road when the Service Electronic Throttle Control System light came on. I immediately lost power, my truck wouldn't go above 3K RPMs, and has a hard time starting. I took it to the dealership on January 21, 2025 and they diagnosed it as needing the crankshaft position sensor replaced. The dealership quoted me $1600 to replace. I called Ram to see if they would cover the bill since that part is recalled. They said that since the 8 year warranty is expired, and the recall had already been served, they would not honor the recall. My concern is that adhesive on the magnetic strip failed, causing the crankshaft position to be damaged. This occurred while driving at low speeds. Had this happened while driving down the interstate, the sudden loss of power could have been catastrophic. My truck still will not go above 3K RPMs, has very little power, and has trouble starting. Even though this part is recalled, neither the dealership nor the manufacturer will cover the costs to replace the part.

Electric Power steering (EPS) Warning lamp came on while driving this 2014 Ram 1500 Crew Cab 4x4 1500 Big Horn and had no power steering! Mechanic states approximately $4k to replace rack and pinion steering. Searching there are thousands of these trucks out there with the same problem. I have checked the Ram "recall" and the S/N on this gear does not match any of those listed. Terrible design and FCA needs to step up to the plate and make this right for Ram Owners before more are injured or worse. Truck will be parked it it not safe to drive and who has four grand laying around to fix these trucks?

My electric power steering stopped working at first it was intermittent only happening randomly but after restarting the vehicle it would work again then it finally stopped working while on the highway I sprained my hand maneuvering the vehicle safely out of the fast moving traffic cannot move the steering wheel it’s hard to do and it is very costly other vehicles just like mine have recalls over this why not mine

On January 27 I started my truck to drive and within minutes the power steering became extremely difficult and impossible to turn . I believe it's the EPS system failure which I have found out is know to fail in the trucks ., There were not any warning messages until it happened.it is available for inspection

The Electronic Power Steering (EPS) module in my 2014 RAM 1500 fails consistently (each time) when the vehicle is started. To date, the EPS module begins working within 10 to 20 minutes of vehicle start-up but does not provide any confidence in it's continued operation. The vehicle has reeently been in for replacement of the EPS module, including the rack and pinion system. When the EPS module is not working, there is no power steering assist, and driving the vehicle puts the driver, other occupants and surrounding vehicles/pedestrians in danger, especially were it to fail unexpectedly during operation. The problem has been confirmed to require replacement of the EPS module at Earnhardt CDJR in Gilbert, Arizona in October 2024. It was confirmed again by an independent service center on January 15, 2025 and has recently been in for repair/replacement. While this particular vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, there has been a recall of the EPS module for 2013-2019 RAM 1500s, so the problem has been acknowledged by the manufacturer. No warning lamps or messages appeared prior to the failure. Following the initial failure, each time the vehicle is started the "Service Power Steering" warning lamp and message appears. The warning lamp and message turn off when the EPS module begins working.

Getting a code for fuel system sensor. After filling the tank, it reads full until around 70 miles and it drops and stays on empty. Have to go strictly by mileage to empty and that is not fool proof.

ABS BRAKE WARNING Light came on and others warning lights. Error Code C220-49 Anti-Lock Brake Module Internal Failure-Electronic. Also lost cruise control, traction control, trailer brake controller and anti-lock brakes. Parts are on Nationwide BACK Order due to the massive failure rate. Safety Issue especially when towing and using OEM trailer brake control.

While driving, the electronic power steering stopped working and caused the steering to lock. Had to take urgent maneuvers to get stopped while not being able to steer. A red power steering warning light popped and flashed on the dash. The truck was turned off and started again and the light and issue went away. Started the truck again the next day, light and power steering light was on again (with steering locked). Turned off, started again and the light is gone and power steering works. Appears to be an electrical or related issue. This has not been taken to the shop as of yet as it happened these past few days. Looking into history and options and found this active NHTSA Action Number: RQ23003 which is an exact match for my experience. We are looking into options for repair but seems the entire rack and pinion will need to be replaced for a non-mechanical, electrical issue. Cost are estimated to be over $3k.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the steering wheel seized with the service power steering warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the EPS gear assembly had failed and needed to be replaced. The dealer confirmed that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 19E077000 (Steering). The contact was referred to the NHSTA Hotline for assistance. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 162,975.

honestly the compressor failed for the air suspension and keeps failing many times for many people in different altitudes and humidity levels as you guys should already know by now. the system is supposed to be a sealed system that no air should be able to get into, right? so my question and things i really would like you guys to look into is why, if this true why do they need a dryer for the n2 gas based system they is not supposed to be able to get air in it? more so when n2 gas is supposed to expel moisture and being a dry gas. I bought this truck in Colorado and in the dry cold of Colorado I had no issues like this but the moment i had my first winter in a more humid environment and it dropped to 20 degrees Fahrenheit the system failed such as the fact that im in Texas now. being a sealed system no air is able to vent out unless triggered buy certain modes so my ride just leveled out to normal drive mode but will not engage the compressor properly. I'm currently in college though just starting for diesel engines even my instructor is stumped. this system to me doesn't make sense and its failing from what I gathered in more humid cold environments not so much dryer cold, and popping the fuses by trying to pull more power to dry the system that supposedly isn't getting moister in it. so this system is clearly flawed and doesn't make seance plus it also truly depends on how and where the company tested the product. in the end my suspension triggered the red code of immediate air suspension repair/replacement and no longer works properly this is almost a 500 dollar fix that many have to do every winter including me. some may have to pay more for those who cant do it themselves. please investigate the compression and dryer system in higher humidity and extreme cold based environment and if im right im right if im wrong im wrong. i just want answers and the problem fixed since this issue has been going since 2013 to now.

The ABS module is reporting an error. Numerous other Rams have recalls for this issue but not my specific VIN.

Power steering failure when temperature drops below freezing.

Power steering failed while driving down road. Turn off and back on and it’s fine then went out after like 5 minutes

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving approximately 35-50 MPH or above, the vehicle was shaking and jerking. The contact stated that the RPM became elevated before decreasing. The contact stated that the failure occurred while the cruise control was activated or deactivated. The ABS, the brake light, and traction control warning lights were illuminated. The contact who is a certified mechanic, diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the fuel cap, EVAP system, and the PCM had failed to respond to the catalytic converter, and the electronic response system for the traction control had failed. The vehicle was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V332000 (Electrical System, Speed Control). The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the contact was informed that the vehicle had been previously repaired under the recall. The dealer was informed of the failure; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed, and the fault codes were not cleared. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 290,000.

Driving on the interstate without cruise control on at 70 mph. I had a vehicle passing in the fast lane and a vehicle in front of me slowing down so I applied a little pressure to my brake peddle and my truck automatically began to accelerate on its own. I kept pushing on the brake peddle and it was stuck in a acceleration. The brakes tried slowing it down but it would not stop acceleration once I took my foot of the brake peddle it just rapidly began to pick up speed on its own again! I ended up pushing down on the break peddle long enough to turn off the engine and coast off to the side on the interstate. I was so glad it happened while I was driving it and not my wife she could of wrecked into the back of the vehicle in front of us and caused a multiple car crash! The Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) light came on while I was pushing down on the brakes to try stopping the truck, but once I turned the engine off and back on again the (ETC) did not come back on although the brake lights stayed on for about 10 miles.

On or around august of 2023 I received a warning light to service ABS system. After I scanned the truck I received the following codes, C2200 status: MIL/CONFIRMED - Anti-lock Brake Module Internal: Internal Electronic Failure, and U0415 status: MIL/CONFIRMED - Invalid Data Received from Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Control Module 'A’: No Sub Type Information. I took the truck to a mechanic to confirm and repair. I was told that the ABS module would need to be replaced but that it was on back order. Since then the ABS system has randomly worked properly and randomly failed. Without a properly working ABS system it is very dangerous to drive due to the lack of traction control, anti-lock brakes, trailer brakes and all other items related to the ABS system. This could cause an accident. I have tried since to get a new ABS module and every time I inquired about it the module has been on back order. I was told by multiple mechanics that this is a common issue with FCA vehicles and the ABS modules are always on back order and very difficult to get. This is a very serious concern if I can’t buy a part that has to due with the braking system. The truck is available for inspection upon request

The electric power steering failed without notice on 12-12-24. I was driving all day with no incident. I stoped for about 5 minutes and when I restarted my truck the steering wheel was stiff. Received a warning light to service power steering. I had no choice but to drive back home without the power steering working with much difficulty. I then scanned the truck and it gave me fault code C2217 status:MIL/CONFIRMED - Electric Power Steering Module Internal: No Sub Type Information. After disconnecting all connections and confirming there wasn’t no corrosion present, I cleaned all connections to the battery as a precaution and once everything was put back the power steering worked. Everything worked perfectly until 1-3-25 when the power steering went out again with the same fault code. I was able to get the truck home where I reinspected all connections. Once I reconnected everything the power steering worked again. It continued to work until 1-6-25 and has not worked since. Mechanic confirmed that the power steering module failed and the entire rack and pinion assembly needs to be replaced. He also mentioned this is a common issue with these trucks and there was an open investigation on FCA due to it. When the power steering fails it creates a safety risk to everyone on the road due to the fact the truck is extremely difficult the steer and can lead to an accident. The truck is currently available for inspection upon request due to the high cost of repair.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the ABS module was replaced twice, but the failure persisted while driving. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated and the "Service Shifter" and "Service Transmission" messages displayed were displayed. Additionally, the transmission failed to shift into gear. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but informed the contact that the ABS module was on backorder. The failure mileage was approximately 95,600. The VIN was unavailable.

The contact stated that the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V167000 (STEERING). The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the electric power steering unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The failure mileage was unknown.

Power steering keeps going in and out while trying to drive. Unsafe when turning when it does not want to turn them all of a sudden will just begin turning. While trying to navigate turns you also have to bring wheel back to straight position your self as the steering wheel will lock and hold your current turning radius

Eps locked out..unable to drive on way to my brothers funeral..Sept 27 2024

Lost all control to the Electronic power steering. There is no power steering at all. Very dangerous to drive.

Loss of power steering. Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Difficulty steering vehicle at all speeds. The issue has not been confirmed by a service center. The vehicle has not been inspected. There were no warning lamps, messages or symptoms of the problem prior to failure.

Power steering stopped working suddenly. Truck was at the dealership for an oil change and the power steering stopped working. If you would have been on the highway this could be very dangerous especially if you are someone without a lot of arm strength because the steering becomes very difficult.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving 10 MPH, the ABS warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that a module inside the ABS system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 129,500.

Electronic power steering has gone out twice. The first time it went as I was leaving a fast food drive through. Warning light came on as it happened. No one except my mechanic has inspected the vehicle but I will have to repair it out of po let until the investigation is complete. I almost had to drive over the curb since steering it was nearly impossible. It has since gone out again. Thankfully in my driveway. I know there is an investigation into this and I would like to be added to the list of complaints and hopefully this ends up being a recall.

The tailgate opens when not wanting to. I checked for recalls for this model year (2014) was not included although prior years recalled this item

Recently, I started having problems with my electric power steering. While driving I would experience sudden loss of power and the power steering service light would start flashing. This happened on multiple occasions without a warning. It also happens at random times so I decided to do some investigating on NHTSA’s website. I saw there was a recall issued for Ram 1500s models between 2013-2016 ( Recall VB9) so I contacted my nearest Chrysler dealer to obtain more information. I was told that my Vin is not related to the recall however, I feel like my vehicle should be included in this recall due to the fact that I am experiencing the same mechanical problems listed on the recall.

My 2014 Ram 1500 with a 5.7 Hemi is constantly displaying the check engine light. Computer scans reveal it is the fuel level sensor. This appears to be a very common problem for this era of Ram trucks. So many comments in Ram forums and on YouTube. This should be a recall due to the stock ones constantly being worn out. Videos and comments online show that mileage does not play a part in failure, as this is happening on vehicles with as little as 60,000 miles and up. This should also be a recall as this should not be attempted by vehicle owners without repair knowledge. So many videos online about jacking up the bed and being supported by 2x4 boards or if removing the gas tank, the static electricity concern. Though this code has come up at least twice before, I am including the most recent issue. I simply refill my truck with the highest premium to help clear the problem. It has worked thus far, but many others complain about the problem also resulting in a failed fuel gauge that constantly shows empty.

My 2014 Ram's cab is allowing water to enter into the interior. This appears to be a very common problem with this era of Ram. First, I noticed my third brake light would blow at least once a year. If you do not replace it, the information center on the truck displays that the driver brake light is out, which it is not and is a completely different bulb. I realized this after stopping at the parts store, buying a new driver side brake light, only to determine it was the third brake light. After each rain, I notice a strong mildew smell in my truck. I then noticed a large water stain on the headliner above the rear passenger seat. I have replaced the bulb to the third brake light once a year and the housing light assembly and gasket twice. Water is either entering from the third brake light or from the black roof trim that run from the front windshield to the rear windshield. Could this mold and mildew growing in my headliner be causing my family's allergies? This leak is a very common problem as indicated in Ram forums and in YouTube videos. Many solutions have been owners using silicone all over the third brake light and the black trim that runs from windshield to windshield. Ram should recall the third brake light, body trim, and replace all headliners.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that when attempting to make a left turn, the steering wheel spun back to center and then locked. The failure caused the vehicle to move into oncoming traffic. The contact was able to maneuver the steering wheel with an excessive amount of force and drive home. The sudden movement of the steering wheel was so severe it caused the contact to have severe swelling for a few days due to the steering wheel twisting and popping their wrist. There was no medical attention needed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the power steering had failed. The dealer confirmed that it was a known failure for the vehicle. The vehicle had not been repaired The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened a claim. The failure mileage was 166,000.

The ABS lights came on and then I started to have traction issues. When it rains I start to spin out even when lightly accelerating. Having brand new tires and four wheel drive, I should be able to make it up a slightly snowed on road without issues. I can't haul anything with the truck because it just spins in place. I can't trust the brakes when trying to stop in almost any condition. It was confirmed by a Ram dealership that it is in fact the ABS module issue. There was no prior issues with the trucks driving before the lights came on. I have been checking for over a year for this part, as it has been on back order. The RAM dealership said there were other trucks with this same issue and no resolution due to the part being unavailable everywhere. This poses a safety risk to myself and my family, as well as others around me if the brakes lock up and go out.

Abs light is on Confirmed by goldys auto.Huntington wv diagnostic is abs Module no part to repair

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that occasionally while the vehicle was parked or driving, the service power steering warning light illuminated.

Took the truck to Larry H Miller Ram in Surprise AZ for the high pressure fuel pump recall on 29 Nov. Picked up the truck on [XXX]. About 1.5-2 miles down the road the truck started spraying fuel everywhere, losing traction. Was on a main road so I had to go about a mile before I could pull off the road safely. Called the dealership to come get me and the truck. Service advisor let me know the low pressure line fitting had failed! When I picked the truck up again on 3 Dec, the advisor told me that they are being pushed by the manufacturer to re-use one time use fittings and that is what failed on my truck! UNACCEPTABLE. Fortunately I was on a 45mph road not the freeway doing 70! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Had problems with the power steering failing for no particular reason. Ended up bringing it into the shop to find out what was wrong and there was an internal failure with the electronic power steering rack. They told me the whole unit needed to be replaced.

Power steering would stop working randomly. Would need to restart the truck multiple times for it to start working again.

The vehicle remained in the dealer possession unrepaired. The failure mileage was approximately 116,000.

Fuel sensor fail. Common reported issue amongst this vehicle that has not been taken care of.

While driving and making a left turn, without any warning, the vehicles electrical power steering rack failed and seized. Once loss of power steering, wheel wanted to stay straight and almost caused accident by nearly colliding with another turning vehicle. In order to avoid collision, I turned the wheel as hard as I could, which resulted in needing new steering linkages as they bent trying to steer with the rack motor seized. Car had to be towed to nearest dealership for a $4,400 repair.

ABS module has failed. Traction control and ABS is not functioning. The module is on back order for over a year now. I’ve read on many forms that many people are having the same issue. I now have to be extremely careful especially on wet roads as the rear tires spin due to not having TC functioning.

EPS system quit working and no power steering. Code С2217-00. It is available to be inspected. Currently being looked at by Tempe Ram service center in Az. System going out while driving can cause death’s and injury. No issues prior to lights and code and steering wheel stiffening. Also Intermittent cruise control issues with it not wanting to go into and out of cruise. Will not always come out of cruise control when cancelled with button. Previously took in for recall check and dealership said it did not meet recall criteria problem still persists.

I have a 2014 Dodge Ram with a 3 way heater valve causing check engine light concrens. I have read several Ram forum about this situation. people are replacing the valve and trucks run well after repair but the check engine light stays illuminated and will not reset. From what I'm understanding is there is a communication problem with the power control module. The 3 way valve issue is way too common among the Chrysler family and very expensive for such a small part. If possible please look into this issue it will be greatly appreciated for thousands of Chrysler owners. Thank you

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated while pulling out of the driveway, the steering wheel was significantly difficult to turn. The message "Service Power Steering" was displayed.

My ABS module and TCS light has been on for several years. I have taken it to the dealer multiple time to have it repaired, only to be told it is on back order. This has been going on for over two years. I have a life time warranty through Chrysler as long as I own the truck. Since the warning lights have been on I have had many instances where my truck has lost control and slipped on the highway most of the time in rain. I have also had my truck lock up once, when a person made a right turn into my lane in front of me, forcing me to hit the breaks. My truck skid through the intersection and almost rear ended the vehicle. I avoid traveling with my family in the truck now.

My truck has 57,000 miles it's a 2014 ram 1500 and overnight the power steering unit failed. Replacement part from mopar is $2,100. Luckily I wasn't driving when this happened but there were no early signs of failure. Tried to go to work and couldn't drive the vehicle because the electric power steering unit had an internal software failure and is not driveable

Electronic Power Steering suddenly stopped working.

The Horn and all push buttons on the steering wheel except for the cruise control on/off no longer work. The vehicle was subject to a recall for the same problem. The vehicle was supposedly repaired, but again the problem has come back. I believe the repair was either not performed or was done poorly due to the problem coming back.

The electrical power steering has failed for seemingly no reason. Multiple people have reported this issue and it’s a very expensive repair

Gas tank strap bracket. Gas tank strap bracket rusted off the frame and tank was hanging off. Went to closest shop where he identified the problem and fixed it ($1431.00). This is a know problem and a letter stating that the warranty period for the “tank strap mounting” was extended. We sent the bill to FCA US LLC customer Center and they refused to cover the cost.

This truck has many issues including emmissions problems thst cussed the truck to go into limp mode related to the boost sensors. This happened to me 3 times on the freeway when the truck flashes service electronic throttle control and power is reduced. On October 28th I was driving the truck on 55 mph roads. As I came to a 45 mph road, the engine started knocking. As I got into stop and go traffic the oil pressure started dropping to 0 and back to normal and the knock got louder. I had the truck towed into the dealership where they verbally quoted me over $24,000 for a new motor. The truck had just over 118,000 miles on it. They stated none of the repairs would be covered by the extended emissions warranty. The dealership then allowed me trade the truck in for less than the value ($16,000) causing extra thousands of dollars to be spent instead of repair. The dealership stated it would be an auction truck. On 11/6 I found that the truck had been listed on the dealerships website for $21,325. There is no mention of the repair or defects on the truck and that price is less than what I was quoted for a motor replacement.

Electric power steering failure. Very common according to internet research and nothing has been done to recall this issue

The Power Steering (All electrical system) is intermittently failing and I believe is a huge safety issue. The dealerships claim my vehicle does not have a recall for such an issue, but when I google it seems to indicate that the Ram 2014 (13-19 models) were part of a recall for a potential issue with the electronic power steering (EPS) circuit card. which could lead to inconsistent steering and potentially a crash.

Stellantis/Ram for over 10 months now have claim that the ABS Module is under engineering review to me. The ABS Module controls the brake anti skid, sway control, cruise control and other systems. Since 3/2024 I've tried to replace this module but it's not in stock because of not being produced. It's a manufactured control item only. I was informed by Gator Dodge this has been a problem for almost a year now if not longer. Called Stellantis/Ram and was informed to go to a junk yard to get a replacement with no product control. Tried to exchange it for a new truck but the dealer does not want it on it"s lot because of no anti skid and other functions this module controls. If it's not safe enough for Ram to sale how can it be a safe vehicle on public road ways? To answer any questions, yes the truck has been inspect by Gator Ram and a certified independent mechanic. As a retired Airline Captain if this was a plane the FAA would have grounded it until the problems were address.

Fuel sensor does not report accurate amount of gasoline in Tanks

Hello, I went and got my truck service at a car dealership for rear air bag shock not working properly (4times) ; futhermore, my power steering went out while driving...not knowing the steering is electronic

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 55 MPH, the power steering malfunctioned, and the steering wheel became difficult to turn in either direction. During the failure the message "Power Steering" was displayed. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who determined that the power steering module and steering rack were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. Also, while operating the vehicle the brake pedal became spongy and extended to the floorboard while depressed causing the stopping distance to be extended. The contact stated that the failures had occurred after the battery was replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 22,400.

I was driving the vehicle and all of a sudden lost power steering control and had a steering wheel with explanation point on dashboard. Later found that these 2014 Ram 1500 are notorious for losing the electronic power steering. No recall associated with my VIN number. Cannot get it to dealer or mechanic yet.

I am having an intermittent loss of power to the power steering system while driving, which makes it difficult to maneuver. After further research, the ECM is said to be the culprit.

Powersteering failure and can be inspected upon request When i drove up the road i had my heatead mirror turned on and when i turned on my highbeam i lost my powersteering and almost drove of the road when it was turning. As soon i turn off the heated mirriors the powersteering starts to work again. I can reproduce this failure multiple times and no warning lamps or messages luckely no accident occured

Eps has failed

I was driving down the road and the electronic powering steering went out with the service powering steering indicator turning on. The power steering will no longer function below 40 Fahrenheit and will only activate when it's warmer outside.

Power steering malfunctioned and completely stopped working while driving down the road at 40 mph. Warning light came on. Significant effort required to drive it to a safe location to park.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 45 MPH, the "Power Steering" warning light had suddenly illuminated and the steering wheel became difficult to turn in both directions. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 100,300.

The center of the instrument cluster has gone blank. You cannot see any of the mileage speed tire pressure any of the information that is located on the center of the instrument cluster between the tachometer and the speedometer

I have had the electronic power steering rack replaced twice. Now Dodge wants to put a 4th rack in a vehicle that only has 65k. I bought it used, but by all means it is a lemon, as it is NOT FIXABLE, and has not been safe to drive for two years. It has spent over 4 months in 3 different shops this year, and is still currently sitting at Dodge.

Does not start reliably. When driving vehicle sputters and even stalls or complete shut offs while driving. Will loose ability to accelerate and lack power. Taken to 4 different mechanics / 2 of which Dodge Dealerships and no one can find whats wrong. Engine light on.

Hello, the ABS module failed in September 2023. This caused the ABS, traction control, and cruise control to be disabled. My local dealer inspected it to confirm the issue and placed an order for a replacement. It is now October 2024 (yes, 13 months later), and Stellanis is still unable to provide an estimate for part delivery. I am unable to pass my state saftey inspection and do not have the safety features that the part enables. I have communicated with stellanis for the past 8 months but they continue to say they cannot provide an ETA for the part. I don't know where else to go to resolve the issue to make my truck safe to drive.

I was driving down the highway when my steering wheel locked up and a warning light lit up saying “service power steering”. Very scary and dangerous situation to be in during traffic hours and I was stranded for a few hours until a tow truck could come pick me up on the side of the highway. The truck was towed to the dealership and they informed me the problem was the Power steering rack, having to spend thousands since It’s not covered under warranty. As far as who’s inspected it is unknown due to it being at the dealer. There were no signs or symptoms prior to the incident.

Electric Power Steering (EPS) Failure and it is available for inspection. I was traveling 45 MPH in a 45 MPH zone on a curvy two land county road. Truck totally lost all electric power steering assist immediately without warning, when entering a sharp 90 degree turn. I experienced loss of control of truck, but thankfully I reacted properly and hit the brakes and there was no obstacles and other traffic. I ended up all over the road before ending up on shoulder of road. The problem is constant and was diagnosed with trouble code C2217-00 Electric Power Steering Module Internal. Vehicle has not been inspected by mfg, police or insurance or representatives. No warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the immediate failure of EPS. Warning was showing once I got vehicle stopped and looked at the dash. Incident happened on Sunday Sept 29, 2024, approximately 5PM.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that the ABS warning light was illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the ABS module had failed and needed to be replaced. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the ABS module was under engineering review. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 102,000.

The electronic power steering went out causing the steering wheel to stiffen. Thankfully, I was on a road without a lot of traffic. The vehicle was bought new, by me in 2014, and has never had any warning lights or symptoms for this issue, until it happened. It happened in May 2024 and has been sitting since, still with the same issue.

Visible exhaust smoke is pouring out of the vents during regen (even when the climate is turned off). This only happens while not in motion and only during regen. It becomes noticeably more difficult to breathe and the cab fills with exhaust smell. I posted my issue in a Facebook group for the powertrain that I’m in and many others say they have the same issue and have brought their trucks to the dealer. They’ve either had their trucks “fixed” and the issue still persists or the dealers advised them that there is no repair available. I noticed there is an almost identical recall for the 2WD models of my truck but it does not include 4WD models.

The antilock brake system module ($1200) is defective and has not been available for more than a year after contacting four dealerships in Alabama and Florida. The antilock brake system warning lights are on the left side of the dash. When the center warning comes up on the dash the truck feels like the rear end is about to lock up and fall off. All the dealers I contacted stated this is a known and long-term problem. I called dodge corporate (1-866-726-4636) and said the modules are being reengineered then manufactured and may be ordered by dealerships after October 16, 2024. They could not guarantee it would be available to order if not I was told to call corporate back, and they would try to find one. I have an appointment to take my vehicle to the dealership due to excessive back logs at all dealerships, The center warning center comes up moments before the backend is affected. The lights on the left side are always on. Currently there are no recalls.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle became difficult to maneuver. The power steering fault warning light was blinking intermittently. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the steering rack needed to be replaced. The dealer informed the contact that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V812000 (Steering). The failure had occurred on several occasions. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 28,000.

We had our vehicle serviced at the Olathe Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram service center between the dates of May 26, 2024 through June 27th, 2024 on 3 separate occasions due to following. Received truck back on June 17th with a blown air suspension after confirming that the air suspension was filled firm when brought the truck in due to an email received for a recall and when driving the vehicle, the power steering kicked in due to the battery terminal not being secured properly (confirmed by AAA technician). No vehicle lights were turned on during this. Returned truck on June 25th, 2024, received truck on June 26th, 2024 where diesel gas was spewing from my truck sitting idol in my driveway after driving it straight home from the service center. Returned on June 27th, 2024 at 7:00 AM CST after being told by the Dodge technicians that I should've drove the truck to them and that diesel has a burning point of over 1,000 degrees. They towed my truck to the shop after I refused. Received my truck at 2:30 PM EST the same day for my road trip that had been scheduled for 6 months. On July 6th, 2024, when driving my truck 4 of the 5 lug nuts broke off completely in which the tire flew off of my truck and caused a singular car accident and damage to my vehicle. We could've been seriously injured due to where we were on the road. I had additional injury to my lower back during the accident incident. We had the vehicle inspected by the California local police department as well as the licensed technician who confirmed that this was negligence by the service center who serviced my truck less than 2 weeks prior. I am in the process of filing a complaint with the General Attorney due to not receiving any response from Dodge regarding this matter.

I have a fault in the ABS Control Module. I have been waiting on a replacement part since September of 2023. The current part number for repair has been discontinued and it sounds like the ABS Control Module is under engineering review. When the fault is thrown it turns of traction control and does not allow the use of 4 wheel drive. I have serious safety concerns when driving my vehicle when the abs fault is thrown. If the part has been discontinued and it is under engineering review how has it not been recalled.

ABS control module failed, is widespread problem in this generation vehicle and there is no available part for repair so my truck has no functioning ABS, this also disabled traction control creating an unsafe vehicle to drive. I was told by the dealership that I drove to since i couldn't get an answer by phone that they have not had the part for 2 yrs and expect to not have any supply anytime soon. I sent a msg to Stellantis that went unanswered and tried 3 seperate dealerships by phone but could not even get them to answer the phone.

When I start the vehicle the power steering light comes on and stays on until the vehicle warms up. Once the vehicle is warm, the light goes off. Usually this light stays on for approximately 10 minutes. I can’t begin driving until the light goes off. It has not ever come on while driving

The electric power steering quit, lucky I was in driveway. There is a recall for 2013 - 2019 for this problem VB9/NHTSA 19E-077. Took my truck in and the dealer said no recall on my truck. I have the problem this should be fixed under the recall!

The Rack and Pinion module has gone out. The steering on the vehicle completely stopped working while driving the vehicle on the interstate.

My truck is a 2014 Ram 1500 Vin: [XXX] *NOTE: [This recall is for older models of Ram 1500] U04 / NHTSA 18V-160 Frame Bracket This recall should be related to Ram 1500 Gas Tank fuel tank straps on ,and corrosion to frame on 2009-2018 Dodge Ram.* The frame is rusted out that holds the bracket. Fuel tank is hanging off almost hitting the ground. VERY DANGEROUS... There is NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE YEAR AND MODEL. Thousands of people are online complaining of this same problem. So, much where the (BRACKETS) are sold out, and on back order. The frame now has to be welded with a support plate to attach to new brackets.

Complete loss of electric power steering.

A few months ago my truck displayed ABS, Traction Control and Emergency Brake lights all at once, as well as taking away my cruise control. It is incredibly difficult to keep control of the vehicle in rainy/wet conditions. No accident has happened fortunately but the other day my father had the same exact lights pop up in his truck with the same traction control issues in his 2015 RAM 1500. So today I went to a shop to get it checked out only to find out that the ABS module is bad and apparently it is an issue nationwide. There's a recall coming for younger models but none of the older models? This is a huge issue and the average consumer does not have $2,000 tucked away to get this issue resolved swiftly. ABS is crucial to maintaining safe highways during bad weather conditions and if Chrysler is not held accountable for installing faulty ABS modules then they will continue to release unsafe products and force consumers to spend thousands of dollars on a product that should not have been a problem on a 10 year old vehicle with only 100,000 miles.

My electric power steering is fixing to cause me to be in a major accident. This should not be happening as I have only had the vehicle two years now. I don't have the funds to fix it and it's my everyday driver. Dodge needs to fix this problem as it is a manufacturing default and it is on them. This has been happening for 19 months now

The dealer informed the contact that the ABS module was under engineering review. The dealer advised the contact that the vehicle was drivable. The contact stated that after driving 5 miles and arriving at the residence, the front brakes seized, causing the wheels to become significantly hot, and the weights on the wheels started to melt and separate. The contact stated that the vehicle was undrivable. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 95,000.

The electronic power steering (EPS) on my truck failed suddenly. Luckily, I was just in my driveway, but this could have led to a serious safety issue if I had been on the road at speed or pulling a trailer. After researching this I see that there have been some recalls regarding this issue for trucks produced in other years, but nothing for the 2014. It is a costly and potentially deadly issue that needs to be examined.

Gas tank strap fell off, tank was hanging, gouged my drive shaft. Frame where strap sit in is all rusted out. Strap will not stay up. Need to bring attention to this as it could if been a very hazardous condition, as a firefighter this should be under warranty.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, the message "Service Power Steering" was displayed, and the steering wheel seized. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle, and the power steering functionality returned. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring while starting the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The dealer recommended the replacement of the entire power steering assembly. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

On 9/6/24 at approx 12 noon, I was driving my 2014 Ram truck at 50 mph and had a total loss of steering control. A "service power steering" warning showed up on the dash, and I pulled off the road into my driveway. It appears that there is a recall for certain Rams: "Equipment Safety Recall VB9 -- Electric Power Steering Gear" but the serial number on my power steering rack is not listed. The number on my power steering rack is "TIC2123C4007". The truck will be taken to a mechanic on Monday 9/9/24 for inspection. The truck may be inspected upon request. I was driving straight when the power steering failed. If I had been in a curve, there is no way I could have controlled the vehicle. There was no indication of a problem before the total loss of power steering.

Fuel sending unit high voltage code

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, he became aware that the electronic power steering was not functioning properly, requiring increased effort to maneuver the vehicle. The EPS warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed failures with the steering column assembly and electronic power steering control module. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V167000 (Steering); but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 220,000.

My 2014 Ram 1500 Sport, Crew Cab, 2x4, 5.7 Hemi engine, was showing on and off ABS, Traction Control, and Trailer Maintenance warning lights on the dash around the Aug. 5, 2024. It got to the point over the last few weeks that the warning lights now stay on. I had Napa auto service run a diagnostic check and it showed Code: C220-049 ABS Control Module Internal Electrical Failure. I contacted local and online Mopar Dealers and Parts department for a new ABS Control Module. I was told Mopar doesn't have a replacement part in stock. Some sites say that Mopar Part# 68228991AD is discontinued. One online Mopar Part Suppler said, that the Part has been on back order for a very long time with no real availability date. Another website, reported that the ABS Control Module failure has been an issues for over 2 years. Mopar has yet to figure out a functioning replacement or fix for the ABS Control Module failures. I am concerned as this part has disabled the ABS system, stability control, and the trailer towing electrical brake controller. I can not tow my travel trailer safely. I'm very cautious driving due to the lack of anti lock brakes and the stability control not working. This is a safety concern, and I would think Mopar would have fixed the issues and the supply system shortage for ABS Control Module.

The truck is a 2014 Ram with 74,000 miles garage kept and I have intermittent ABS service warning light researched and the ABS module has gone bad.

ABS, Traction control, and brake light on. DTC code C2200-49 internal electrical error. Part is not available for sale. What are owners to do?

Beginning around March 2024: 1) The ABS, Towing, and E-brake dashboard lights stay on; and the Cruise Control stopped working. 2) The brakes and/or transmission locked up when I put the truck in Reverse. It made a noise like it was trying to respond but sort of dropped and locked up and would not move. This has happed a few times intermittently so mechanics have not been able to reproduce the problem. 3) The brakes grabbed to the left, brakes went soft, then I had to push harder. This has happened a few times. 4) My truck is large and heavy so it could really do some damage to other cars and endanger lives. I don’t drive it much for this reason causing me a lot of inconvenience. 5) The dealership and 2 local car repair shops scanned the problem. A lot of codes popped up - including the ABS Module and tire sensors. They said the module was unavailable and under review. They also said tracking down all the causes and completely resolving them would be trial and error as they replaced several parts including the ABS Module and sensors on all 4 tires. I cannot locate the repair shop receipts at present, but 1 shop (Decatur Auto Tech) was $258 on 3/19/2024. Landmark Dodge didn’t charge for the scan on 4/23/2024. They gave me a quote to replace the ABS Module of $1,294.71

Spoke to dealer, to date, my truck is or has been repaired after an extensive time at the dealership. I was informed that the reporting was done incorrectly and should be updated within the next few months.

have been searching for valid part for repair. Dealers state part discontinued. Today, incident where I braked heavily, almost lost control of my vehicle. Swerved and prevented accident. Safety issue and dangerous situation that may not be avoided next time. Sadly, feel dealer or manufacturer must be held responsible for lack of part or failure to provide updated part for purchase.

Power steering went out while driving and became real hard to steer luckily was in a straight away

The ABS module has failed. The Dealer gave the part number 68196033AA as being defective and there was a two year backlog on this part.

Front gas tank frame bracket rusted away and gas tank tilted down on front of tank. 2009 through 2012 models recalled for this identical problem. Dealer tells me my 2014 not covered under recall. I have same problem that was recalled two years before.

I filled my ram with gas and a gas tank strap fell through the frame. The frame around the strap failed while the rest of the frame looks to be in good condition.

Driving home from work and in a turn warning light came on dash "Service Power Steering" and the steering wheel became stiff and tool strength to control turn causing me to go into the opposite lane as I was turning. No slip I steering or warning before total loss of power steering.

The electronic power steering failed at random and almost caused me to wreck. I had to pay to tow my car home and now am looking at a $3000 repair on something that’s a known problem with these systems

My son was driving the truck when out of no where the power steering failed and he had to muscle the truck to the side of the road. After doing some research this is a common issue amongst other rams and so I contacted multiple dealerships within the area. Unfortunately they all said the same issue that happens on 2015+ trucks with the same steering system won’t apply to my truck.

W58/NHTSA 20V-475 repair failure. Crankshaft tone (reluctor) wheel delamination of magnetic material with loss of crankshaft position. Update to powertrain control module software did not prevent engine stall. Safety recall W58 completed 22 May 2023 (79K miles) with update to the powertrain control module software to maintain engine operation if the signal material is lost. On [XXX] truck had engine stall while in parking lot. I could have had accident endangering self and others if engine stall occurred on highway. Following repeated start attempts and an uncharacteristically long start, a "Service Electronic Throttle Control" message came on. I was able to drive the few miles home. I took truck to dealership for service. Service advisor said following diagnostics, that crankshaft tone wheel needs replacement and not covered by existing recall warranty. I was charged $2635.18 and lost use of vehicle for a week. Invoice states "Found missing segment from tone wheel". INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Fuel tank strap bracket has broken. Dealers and Ram customer service refuse to cover the repairs even though there is a technical service bulletin related to this issue. They state since my vehicle was originally from Canada the extended warranty is void.

EVIC loses power/flickers constantly. Fuse is good.

I have been searching for a replacement ABS Control Module for my Ram truck for over a year to ensure the safety of my vehicle while stopping on the road. Stellantis has not provided their customers with safety replacement parts for their vehicles to keep them safe to drive on the roads. This puts me and others on the road at risk. My vehicle is available for inspection. This condition has been confirmed by multiple dealers and service centers. My truck's ABS warning lamps and messages have been present for over a year. To date I have found no supplier of replacement ABS modules for my 2014 Ram truck.

While traveling on a highway at a speed of around 55 MPH, I experienced an abrupt and complete failure of the electronic power steering system in my 2014 Ram 1500. The steering wheel became extremely difficult to turn, and I lost the usual responsiveness and control I have come to expect from my vehicle. This sudden loss of steering assistance occurred without any prior warning signs, such as unusual noises, dashboard alerts, or steering resistance. It was a frightening experience that compromised my safety and the safety of others on the road. The failure of the EPS system at such a high speed created an urgent safety hazard. The difficulty in steering made it challenging to maintain lane control and respond effectively to road conditions. This not only increased the risk of a collision but also made the vehicle highly unstable and difficult to maneuver. Had there been a sudden need to change lanes or avoid an obstacle, the consequences could have been dire. In addition to the immediate safety concerns, the situation has been further aggravated by the unavailability of repair parts. After the incident, I promptly contacted several authorized dealerships and repair centers to address the EPS issue. I was informed that the necessary parts for the repair are currently unavailable on a national level. This unavailability of parts has left my vehicle inoperable and has resulted in significant inconvenience and frustration. The inability to procure repair parts not only delays the resolution of this critical issue but also raises questions about the reliability and longevity of the EPS system in this model. It is concerning that a critical component of the steering system, essential for safe vehicle operation, is not readily accessible for repair or replacement.

Internal Abs control module failure. Have been waiting 2 years my warranty is about to expire.

I entered the off-ramp slightly turning right from the Interstate when all of a sudden the power steering went out and I heard a dinging sound. The steering wheel jerked left and almost sent me over a 30 ft. drop into a lake. I was very fortunate only to do a 180 degree spin with no damage to my truck.Had I not slowed down more than usual due to the rain I would surely be at the bottom of that lake. After coming to a halt and facing oncoming traffic I found the power steering did’nt work at all and doing a 3 point turn is not happening because I have 33 inch mud tires on my truck so I inched my way back and forth until I was able to get back into moving traffic. On my way home with no power steering, the power steering light is constantly flashing and all of a sudden I hear another ding. The gas gauge on the instrument panel is now reading Empty when I filled up that morning and I have a flashing Fuel Sensor Fail warning. This issue with the Power Steering needs to be recalled/fixed immediately. This is ridiculous to see nothing has been done and is still being investigated 1 year later with all of the complaints specifically regarding the power steering are right in front of you.

a grinding sound occurs while turning the vehicle. after checking there appears to be a power steering recall for the same power steering motor - just for other years but not for the 2014 model. apparently once the unit fails the vehicle will be steerable but it will be more difficult. if this is a common problem, as it appears to be, a recall would be welcome.

Unknown, the air bags in the suspension popped during driving

Tone Wheel failure. Listed as a remedy for recall 66a but dealer said my VIN doesn’t qualify for wheel replacement even though I qualify for 66a. My vehicle received the same faulty tone wheel that other got recalled. Please update 73a to include my batch of VIN numbers.

While driving at 50mph power steering went completely out, could not control truck, had I been on a busy street with traffic there would have been an accident. Dealer (over the phone) said this is common with this truck and the electronic power steering system needs to be replaced. Warning light of (Steering wheel/exclamation mark) SERVICE POWER STEERING.

Driving on the highway, the car loses steering and gets real stiff then over corrects causing vehicle to swerve. It's a know problen for these years and models of the RAM. It's the EPS that fails intermittenly. They said it's vin specific but I strongly disagree. I have no light stating there is an issue on the dashboard. That seems lie a big safety hazard. System doesn't know there's a problem.

The contact owns a 2014 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 had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Hi, this is regarding your open investigation #RQ23003 so as to add my car to the number of complaints. It happened on 07/20/24 while my wife was on her way back from grocery shopping. On her way out of parking lot, the warning sign showed up and the power steering had failed suddenly. Even though she did not get into an accident, it was very dangerous and nearly impossible for a women to steer out of situation. Currently, the car is immobilized and waiting to be looked at. FYI, this car has only 60000 miles in odometer and immaculately maintained. I hope you look into this issue. Thank you.

When stopping at traffic light steering wheel of 2014 Ram 1500 4 door truck wheel very difficult to turn wheel. Diagnosed at Cutter Dealer in Honolulu, code shows rack and pinion but dealer said no recall on this vehicle.

Check Engine light came on in Jan, 24. Had it checked and was told ABS modules need to be replaced. Ordered and paid for on Jan 17,24. Then each month I have been told that they are on back order. It is now July and my registration is due but I can not get my sticker until I pass the smog check. But I can not pass the smog check with the check engine light on. I have to pay the registration fee ($295)or I will have to pay a penalty. I have contacted dealer, Mopar, Stellantis and no one seems to know when modules will be ready! Will I have to rent a vehicle soon? I don't know if my 2014 RAM will soon become obsolete if I can't get the parts to make it safe!

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the "Service Power Steering" message was displayed with the power steering assist feature inoperable. Due to the failure, excessive force was needed to steer the vehicle while driving back to the residence. The contact notified the dealer of the failure and was informed that there were no recalls on the VIN. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic where a diagnostic test was performed. The mechanic discovered that the steering rack and pinion was defective and needed to be replaced. Upon investigation, the contact discovered an ongoing investigation NHTSA Action Number: RQ23003 (Steering) which the contact linked to the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 114,000.

The EPS (Electronic Power Steering) failed suddenly, causing the steering wheel to become extremely difficult to turn. The truck would not turn easily creating an unsafe vehicle while driving. A warning lamp turned on only when the power steering failed. The vehicle has not been driven or inspected since the power steering has failed. The two part numbers on the EPS housing are #P68230030AC & #TIC0684C4049

My steering module sometimes works and sometimes does not. I’ll go from having power steering to steering going completely manually and other times almost locking up. During turns I have almost gone into the ditch if the steering module stopped working mid turn.

The wiring for the headlights is too thin from the factory and often burns out the socket that holds the bulbs.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while his wife was driving 50 MPH in the rain and depressing the brake pedal, the brake pedal went to the floorboard. The vehicle failed to respond as needed and spun. The ABS warning light, the traction control warning light, the brake warning light, and other unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact's wife was able to pull to the side of the road. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the ABS module had failed and needed to be replaced; however, the part was not available to repair the vehicle. The dealer informed the contact that the ABS module was under engineering review. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 220,100. The VIN was not available.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed and went to the floorboard. The traction control and brake warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle began to slow down. The contact stated that the ABS was inoperable. The service ABS message was displayed. The contact called the local dealer, who stated that the parts to repair the vehicle were on backorder. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 146,000.

My front ball joints went out own my 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 truck recently and had to be replaced the vehicle only had 58, 343 miles at the time. I contacted Chrysler even though the vehicle was not under warranty, because one of there team members said all the could do was try to get me a reimbursement, but I was recently denied. The vehicle also has right arm shifter issues that keep occurring even though I have had it repaired at the Chrysler dealership in Stockton, Ca. I paid around 27,000 for this vehicle in 2019 at Fremont Toyota in Fremont, Ca. The vehicle had supposedly over 21,000 miles own it at purchase.

While I was driving my wife and I heard a sound that was similar to a ratchet strap being run over while attached to a vehicle. Once in my drive way I began to inspect what the noise could have been. After looking underneath my truck I could see my GAS TANK hanging at almost a 45 degree angle. I crawled underneath to see what had happened and found that 1 of 2 fuel tank straps had been ripped out of the frame of the truck. It wasn’t until later that I found a 12 year unlimited mile warranty was available. After speaking to a Ram dealer they informed me that ONLY the fuel straps were covered under the warranty and NONE of the damages that occur from their flawed and failed design are covered under that and if I want it covered then I would have to file a claim with my insurance. Keep in mind the fuel strap itself is only 50$ and that is all that will be covered, not the tank itself, fuel neck, gas lines, or any component of the evap system. So because Ram does not want to pay now I have to and I almost paid in full with my life and my wife’s. I encourage others to keep an eye on this so you don’t fall victim to this scam. It’s nice to know that for almost loosing my life and that of my wife Ram will only cover 50$. How much is your life worth?

Steering was fine, then got very tight while driving. Got home turned off truck and let it sit for a while. When I went to drive it again everything was fine. Now it goes in and out from time to time.

I was on my way to work and all of a sudden I lost all power steering almost causing me to get in a head on collision

Complete failure of electric steering. Vehicle towed to garage for repairs

Electronic Power Steering failure 67000 miles. Ram dealer has confirmed the steering module is no longer working. No inspection other than dealer. Only warning was on failure.

Power steering suddenly went out while driving luckily I wasn't on the freeway or in the middle of turning. I had my young daughters in the truck. Service power steering like came on after I lost all power steering. No recalls but Ram has many complaints for this issue. got quoted as the Ram dealer $3100 for just the parts and another $700 for labor for the rack and pinion. Parts on back order so I will be without my truck for over a week with no other means of transportation. I only have 68,000 miles on this truck. Unbelievable that this isn't a recall and Ram isn't covering it. Someone is gonna get seriously injured. VB9/ NHTSA 19E-007 Electronic Power Steering Gear.

My ABS light has been on and when I took my vehicle to the dealership, they said it requires a part that is on back order for almost a year already. My vehicle suddenly comes out of drive while I’m on the road. It’s scary because one minute I’m going 50 miles an hour and then it just turns off. Other times the car does not register my foot on the break when trying to get it out of park to start it. The Dodge dealership says all of these things are related to a bad ABS module which I have been waiting for since December, and they have no idea when the part will be available. I have been on mini Dutch forums and I see that this is an issue across the country

The contact owns a 2014 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 local dealer was contacted and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

Steering stopped working. There was no accident. Replaced it, but new part still has intermittent steering. No inspection, no warning lights, messages or symptoms before it failed.

Codes c2209-49, c2200-47, u0121, u11bc, u1110, u1412. ABS, traction control, brake and CEL iluminated. No speedometer and no power steering. Codes will not clear. All wheelspeed sensors are operational per scantool in live data mode. Issue not confermed by dealer or independant as the cost is outrageous. And i cannot find a recall to repair issue. These issues i have had since March 2024. Cost for me to repair would be approximately $1200. Safety systems like these should not need a recall they’ve had years to resolve issues with ABS problems. I’m hoping that Mopar sees these issues with other people and has a recall on the problem. My wife won’t even drive the truck.

In January 2023, my 2014 Ram 1500 sport truck got an anti-lock , braking system and Brake light flashing warning ABS lights. I went to the dealer and he said my ABS electronic module was bad and that it was problem with most Ram trucks. I asked when could I get a new module and he said June of 2024. So I went in June and no module. So here I am, driving an unsafe vehicle, and waiting for a part which may never come in. Thanks for listening because this is really a safety issue

Electonic Power Steering failed. Unable to steer vehicle. After starting vehicle, steering felt locked. Had vehicle towed to independent service center. Initially did not fail with independent service center however, with second attempt by independent service center, it did fail. Therefore, problem is intermittent. Independent service center's diagnostic test found it to be a recall issue, 19E-077, and we were advised to go to dealership. Vehicle was towed to Firkins dealership. Through dealership and multiple calls to FCA and NHTSA claims no recall advisories and no such recall number found. FYI, we have had two other unrelated recalls that the FCA had no record of. Dealership did tell us they have had 7 of these steering issues in the last year. The EPS warning did appear on dashboard.

The ABS/traction control module is constantly throwing warnings. Took vehicle to dealership. ABS module is bad and needs replacing. Dealership states parts are under engineer review and cannot get any replacement parts or know when they will be available. This is not safe to be driving a large vehicle without ABS/traction control safely working

i was driving down the road and the power steering just went out. No warning at all that this was about to happen. I was VERY lucky I was driving on a straight road. If I was in a turn I would have been off the road without a doubt.

Driving my 2014 Ram 1500 SLT (approx 95000mi) truck home from work and the electronic power steering just stopped working. Had a very difficult time trying to navigate home on the highway. Upon self inspection I determined the power steering rack went bad from water intrusion because of a faulty rubber boot that you cant readily see with a slit in it. And also blew the fuse mounted to the battery. These steering racks are in short supply for some unkown reason, are difficult to find, and ungoldy expensive. I ordered the new parts and did the install myself to save money but it was still $2200+ for someting that should be an absolute safety issue or recall. The electronics are supposedly coated in a water proofing compound. I returned the junk part to the origin of purchase (Rock Auto) to get my petty $75 core charge back. I am only submitting this because I believe it is an extreme safety hazzard on such an important component of a vehicle. After whole replacement with expensive current revisioned parts I now have a functioning vehicle again.

The Electric Power Steering failed while I was driving on the highway. I had to drive with a stiff steering wheel all the way home. It was a hazard to me and other drivers on the road. This problem has been reported by multiple other Ram owners. There was a warning signal when the EPS failed.

Brake System ABS lights came on and stayed on and loss cruise control. Took to local dealer in March and as of June we are still waiting on part for repair. Unable to use truck other than local errands as we are concerned for safety of our employees on long distance deliveries due to no ABS braking and no cruise control

With less than 50,000 miles on the vehicle, the fuel sensor went out and the check engine light came on. I replaced the fuel sensor and the fuel pump and it still did not correct the issue. After doing some research, I found this is known and common issue that is deserving of a recall.

Power steering failed. Luckily it failed while I was driving, had my wife been driving she would not have been able to steer it. Truck is almost impossible to steer with the power assist failed. It is at the dealer now. EPS failure

I own a 2014 Ram 1500. The ABS module stopped working in it sometime in 2021. The new part was on backorder with no estimated delivery date. At the time I put a used ABS module in it and it lasted about a year before it went out again. This is a known problem that Ram is having with their ABS systems on several different models. The ABS module part # 68228991AC has since been discontinued by Ram. I also own a 2018 2500 Ram that had the same issue. From what I have read online the NHSTA is investigating that year and model truck and a class action lawsuit has been filed out of California. The NHSTA needs to broaden their investigation into other years makes and models of Ram trucks. It is unfair that Ram is placing their customers lives in jeopardy instead of doing the right thing and recalling these defective vehicles.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the ABS system and air suspension computer warning light illuminated and failed to operate as needed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed with ABS computer module failure and air suspension system failure. The air suspension system was repaired; however, the ABS computer module was not replaced due to parts not being available. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that parts were not available. The failure mileage was approximately 91,000.

The power steering intermittently goes out and locks up the steering wheel. Almost wrecked leaving a gas station had to pull over and disconnect battery terminals to reset it and it finally started back working. Drove home and turned the truck off, when I turned it back on it was locked up again with the error flashing on the cluster. It started doing this May 17, 2024. Haven’t drove vehicle since then.

I have experienced power steering loss intermittently in this vehicle for the past two years. It occurs at unexpected times during both local and interstate travel. The unexpected loss of power steering creates problems because the vehicle suddenly becomes very difficult to steer. This has caused several near crashes due to making turns and lane changes.

This vehicle lost power while driving and would not re-start. A message came on dash saying “service electronic throttle” and then the vehicle burst into flames. There is a recall for other models with the same engine but not this vehicle. It is a safety hazard that almost killed me.

Complete loss of power steering. The vehicle was driven then shut off. When the vehicle was restarted, there was no power steering. The steering is so hard to turn that the truck is not drivable. This would be a serious safety concern if the steering were to stop functioning while driving.

instrument cluster/panel Flickers and goes completely dark stay dark/blackout the majority of the time. There is a recall for the year 2014 but only if manufactured between July -August. Ours manufactured in October .this has been an on and off occurrence since maybe 2018 when we took it to the dealer early on it didn’t happen so they couldn’t address it. However it is off more than on and we have seen the recall. The blackout restricts our ability to see and monitor gages.

The steering is hard (like no power steering) when at a slow speed or at start from stop. Steering is not as tight/hard when at a normal speed. The ease of steering changes mid turn.

Electric steering system

Air ride suspension warning light came on with the ABS electrical warning and lost of cruise control. At the same time the truck became almost uncontrollable.

Power steering is intermittently not functioning while driving. There is a open recall for other year Ram 1500's with the exact same power steering module and set up. This needs to be recalled before someone else is killed.

Out of nowhere the power steering has gone out. Trying to start back up and now power steering light is on.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving approximately 75 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated.

Front fuel tank bracket mount has failed at the frame. Front of fuel tank was hanging down below frame of truck. Rear bracket appears to be failing at same rate. Had they both failed at the same time the fuel tank would have fallen off into the roadway endangering others with a large object and 20+ gallons of diesel spilling. Along with the tank laying in the road the vehicle would have stopped running causing me to be immobile in the road leaving potential for a collision from the rear. No warning lamps or symptoms were present at the time. I can provide more detailed pictures when I remove tank to seek alternative repairs

STEERING WHEEL SERVICE LIGHT ON CAN NOT STEER WHILE FIRST STARTING FOR 5 MINUTES THEN IT SHUTS OFF

Despite numerous attempts to resolve the matter, I've faced obstacles and a lack of clarity from Dodge Corporation. Recently, my 2014 Ram 1500 Laramie experienced a sudden ABS light issue, affecting traction and cruise control. This has made driving perilous in Texas's hazardous conditions. We've been quoted $2000 (part itself is $1300) for repairs, but the required part is on backorder, with no ETA provided by Dodge Corporate. This situation poses a significant safety risk to my family, yet we're unable to proceed due to part unavailability and a lack of transparency. I request urgent assistance or guidance on resolving this matter. Question #1- The ABS module in the 2014 Ram 1500 Laramie has failed, affecting the ABS system, traction control, and cruise control. The specific part number is 68228991AD. The failed component, the ABS module, should be available for inspection upon request. Question #2- The failure of the ABS module has compromised the functionality of the ABS system, which is crucial for maintaining stability and control on slippery roads, especially in hazardous conditions. This puts the safety of the driver, passengers, and others on the road at risk, particularly in situations where ABS is necessary to prevent accidents. Question #3- Yes, the problem has been confirmed by a mechanic, and the necessary repairs have been identified. The mechanic determined that the issue lies with the ABS module. Question #4- The vehicle and the ABS component have been inspected by a mechanic, revealing that the issue lies with the ABS module. However, neither the police nor insurance representatives have inspected the vehicle in relation to this matter. Question #5- Yes, the ABS light on the dashboard appeared as a warning sign of the problem with the ABS system. This occurred suddenly and without prior indication of an issue until the warning light illuminated.

Electric power assist steering failure. I started to notice that the effort to turn the became much more difficult, over the period of two weeks I have noticed the power assist is basically nonexistent. It is a dangerous situation and quite expensive. The truck should be recalled for this issue, and currently has 98,000 miles.

While driving the vehicle the power steering failed making the vehicle very hard to steer. This is a major safety issue. With the inability to steer my life and the lives of the passengers in my vehicle and others on the road were put at risk. This is an ongoing problem that needs to be addressed by RAM.

Failure of ABS module. Unable to replace due to manufacturer hold on part. Not safe to drive and nometa on when parts will be available. This is a known issue with many owners experiencing failures.

Recall z46 states Dealers will replace the HPFP, and inspect and replace, if necessary, additional fuel system components, free of charge. After my dealer replaced fuel pump additional fuel system components failed, after dealer inspection I was told they only would change HPFP not honoring full recall for replacement of additional fuel system components. Putting me at risk of the original problem this recall was supposed to fix. My vehicle was fine with no engine check lights before I brought it for recall z46 after the first 10 miles since the recall i have 3 check engine light codes relating to fuel system.now it's sitting at the dealership lot with repairs to be completed.

Vehicle was sitting in garage. Started vehicle and dash warning for power steering illuminated and no power steering is available.

Regarding [XXX] . I made an appointment to get the Important Safety Recall for the High Pressure Fuel Pump repaired. When I took the vehicle in for the repair on [XXX] I was informed that they did not have the part and they had been waiting a year for parts. Why I wasn't informed of this when I made the appointment is beyond me. If this Safety Recall is so important why is this dealership unable to obtain the parts? This is unacceptable and needs to be rectified for safety of the traveling public. The dealership in question is SHOTTENKIRK CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 4970 E. Highway 377, Granbury, TX 76049. Phone (817) 279-1500. Thank you for your attention to this matter. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Fuel Level Sensor A Circuit - P0463. Yes, available for inspection. The Fuel level sensor cuts out and stops reporting fuel levels. This can lead to running out of gas on the highway or other dangerous situations that put the driver and others at risk. Also, the computer monitors stop reporting, therefore other aspects of the vehicle are compromised when the fuel level sensor stops working. The dealer confirms this is a common problem on this vehicle. Yes the vehicle was inspected by the dealer. The warning lamp check engine light comes on when the system fails. there is no prior warning.

The power steering completely failed. Yes! It is available for inspection! If this had occurred during highway speeds (80 mph here) ... OMG! No, the vehicle is not drivable (no steering) so it has not been inspected by anyone but me. The vehicle was fine the day before. This apparently happened while it was turned off overnight. The red steering wheel with the exclamation point is flashing and it cannot be steered at all.

The failure mileage was approximately 171,000.

See attached document for complaint

I have a 2014 Dodge Ram 1500. I share the same problem as thousands of other Ram owners who have a faulty ABS module in their trucks. They are not under recall, Ram/Dodge/Stellantis could not be bothered to dig further into the problem. They have discontinued the part (68228991AD) and similar cross reference part numbers. My ABS doesn't engage and when someone uses an unsafe driving maneuver in the middle of the interstate and I have to slam the brakes, my truck goes into "limp" mode and the ABS doesn't function properly. Someone is going to die if Stellantis doesn't address the issue from their faulty parts. I called several dealerships who say they don't have the part, and that they do not expect to get anymore due to discontinuation of the part. After doing some research online, it appears that thousand of vehicles with that part from 2014-2016 are affected. Please help us take action and hold the auto brand accountable for negligent handling of a manufacturer issue not replacing or providing solution for parts that are critical to driver's safety. Respectfully, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving at approximately 60 MPH, the steering wheel seized. The contact was able to pull to the shoulder of the roadway. The Service Power Steering System warning light was illuminated. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle, and the power steering functionality returned; however, the failure recurred when the contact arrived at the residence. The vehicle was hauled to the local dealer; where it was diagnosed that there was rodent damage on the wiring of the steering rack, and the Power Steering rack needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 125,077.

Turned on vehicle and had complete loss of power steering. No previous issues of this. Unable to get power steering to reset or return to vehicle.

Power steering assist quit working while on the interstate. The steering wheel was extremely hard to turn and indicator light came on. The light was a red steering wheel with red exclamation next to it. I was able to safely pull over. I shut the truck off and looked to see if any fluid was leaking. Did not see any indication of fluid loss. Restarted the truck and steering worked normal. The same thing happened just as I was entering my driveway. I restarted the vehicle multiple times after that, and the red steering wheel indicator flashes immediately. Power steering has been completely lost. This all happened in the same day. I am very thankful that I was driving in a straight line at the moment of steering loss. I am not sure I would have been to avoid an accident if I were on a turn during that moment.

Exhaust manifolds on 5.7 Litre Hemi’s, bolts that hold exhaust manifold to head break often resulting in exhaust manifold to warp, common issue on various years of 5.7 hemi, the exhaust gases leaking from around the manifold therefore can pass through the firewall, and cabin vent system causing the occupants inside cab to breath dangerous exhaust gases, also resulting in uncontrolled exhaust levels that are not being passed through exhaust system properly equaling higher exhaust emissions. Department of Transportation (DOT) put Tractor Trailers out of service for similar issues due to the health safety risks. This is a common issue with Dodge Hemi 5.7 litre engines of various years and should be a serious issue as breathing carbon monoxide and traces of carbon dioxide are very harmful. Please look into this, the dealership has repaired mine twice with the same faulty parts and now it is bad again and said vehicle only has 70,000 miles on it. Thank you. This is third time first one occurred in 2018 was covered under warranty and only had around 25,000 miles on it.

Truck's power steering goes out, I have to restart truck a few times for it to work again. Service Power steering comes on when it's not working. It has not gone out while driving but I am fearful that it will.

Started off with intermittent power steering failure which has now led into complete power steering failure

When attempting to brake the vehicle's brake peddle does not engage and goes directly to the floor without engaging the vehicle's brakes. The vehicle has been inspected by numerous RAM dealers going back to 2015, and until 2024, no dealer had been previously able to duplicate the issue (vehicle available for inspection). Being unable to stop a moving vehicle during normal or emergency situations posses an immense safety risk to the operator, passengers, other motorists, and pedestrians. The issue was finally recreated by a Ram dealer in Florida on [XXX]. The entire braking system was inspected numerous times by various dealers in Texas, Arizona, and Florida. The brakes failure to engage happens randomly with out any prior warning lights or other vehicle indications, and first occurred in 2017 in Arizona. The only indicator for the potential of the brake failure is when the outside temperature is 75° or higher. However the presence of these temperatures does not guarantee the brakes will fail to engage just that the potential is more likely.

I was driving down the highway and all of a sudden my power steering went out and the truck jerked, nearly causing me to roll the vehicle. I managed to get it wheel straight enough that I did not wreck. Never been more scared in my life. I got off the highway near a local shop and the mechanic says this is an on going problem with the rack and pinions in my make and model year truck.

Crankshaft Tone Reluctor Wheel failed while driving. Caused crank/no run situation. Towed to dealer, was told there was a recall(66A / 23V-411) to flash software to remedy situation. Software did not correct the issue and was told parts needed to be replaced and recall did not cover parts or labor. Parts were replaced ($1635 parts and labor). Truck is back on the road. Will be submitting a claim for reimbursement. Why a known issue is not covered entirely, puzzles me.

Intermittent power steering. Works great then all of a sudden have no steering, then a minute later it’s back working. Other times it is very choppy steering.

While entering the on ramp to the Interstate the electronic power steering failed without warning. It was raining and I narrowly avoided crashing. My mechanic inspected the truck and gave an estimate for repairs,saying he's seen this failure in one other similar truck.

The power steering on my 2014 Ram 1500 seems to be not working at times. The steering can be hard to turn at times and is happening more frequently. I did some research and there have been recalls on this issue but not the 2014 model year. I feel this is an accident waiting to happen as i need my vehicle every day and cannot afford the price tag to make this repair. i have seen on social media that many other have this same problem and something needs to be done about it.

In 2021, my power steering module failed and was inoperable. The power steering module was replaced and now, less than 3x years and < 20,000 miles the power steering module is failing again. In 2021, the power steering failed instantly, without warning. It was almost impossible to steer the car without 'hanging' on the steering wheel as the steering wheel was 'fighting' the driver's input. In 2024, the power steering is failing intermittently. Sometimes turning the steering wheel is easy and tires are responsive, other times the steering wheel appears to 'catch' and resist/fight the driver and then respond sporadically, making steering difficult to predict.

Electric Power Steering has stopped working. The vehicle is very difficult to turn and return to straight. NO warning lamps or service lights appear.

I was driving my 2014 ram in a 25 mph residential area, and went to turn right and wound up hitting the curb on the other side of the street because my truck would not make the full turn. I continued to drive and test the left and right turn, and it refused to turn on either side. There were no warning lights, and no codes were found when tested. I am infuriated that this is not considered recall material. It is extremely dangerous to the driver and anyone else in it's path. I am fortunate enough to not have been driving to work at 60mph. I had been loyal to dodge for years, but that is a thing of the past. I am in the process of buying another vehicle at a very inopportune time.

Issues constantly with hvac control module and climate system...every other time I start my ram, I either have AC in the heating mode or vice versa, or the computer is NOT communicating with the hvac module and blend doors for when I request heat, ac or defrost dashboard control etc.( I have replaced many blend doors oem, and hvac modules and had Chrysler recalibrate the blend doors and hvac/climate control system with NO success! Please help!

Our truck kept coming up with check engine, ABS and traction control lights. Come to find out, it is the ABS Module Control that needs to be replaced. In doing research, I have found that there have been numerous complaints on this same issue for years. At what point does it become neglect on Dodge? There have been accidents yet they're continuing to ignore this situation and it's allowed???

Steering stopped working and has error code. Tried resetting and such and still not working

My steering wheel felt like it was stuck and had to force it left or right to change lanes on the expressway at 75 miles per hour. The electric power steering rack is no longer working and it will not turn the wheels. It is still on the vehicle at this time. I could have lost all steering on the highway causing a collision. It has not been looked at by a dealer or independent shop yet. There were no lights or warnings before the incident however the next time I was going to drive the truck the steering wheel wouldn't move and I got a "Service Power Steering" message on the dash.

The Abs, Traction Control and Brake lights are on. None of the affected systems are working at this time. The vehicle was tested by Chrysler Ram in Peotone, Illinois. they said that the Abs control module was bad and could not be ordered at this time because it is still in product development at FCA.

On 1.28.2024 my 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 R/T lost power steering twice making it nearly impossible to safely steer

The T shaped frame mount where the fuel tank strap hooks to rusted out and the strap pulled through the frame letting the fuel tank drop.

Approximately two weeks ago I was driving the truck and exiting off the interstate and at the end of the ramp intended to turn left as I had a green light. As I slowed to safely turn I lost all power steering assistance and ended up jumping the curb and leaving the roadway. Thank God I didn’t hit anyone or damage any property. I was able to fight the steering wheel to make it home. I checked the power steering fluid level and condition of fluid for possible contaminants but found no issue. I remember a recall issued for 2015-2016 Rams for power steering failures. I believe the issue is much wider than initially thought. I have not gotten an estimate on the repairs.

The reluctor wheel on my 2014 Ram 1500 Ecodiesel has failed. The truck was taken to the dealer on May 8th of 2023 where they flashed the ECU as a remedy for the vehicle losing signal between the magnetic material on the Tone Wheel (reluctor wheel). A few months later the vehicle went into "limp mode" with a crankshaft position sensor fault and became hard to start. A local mechanic shop explained to me that the tone wheel is has failed leading to the hard starting and advised me that there is a Technical Service Bulletin on the issue and I should call a local dealer to see if they will do the repair at no cost. I called a local dealer to tell them that the tone wheel has failed and asked if it was part of the recall [XXX] ). I was told no that it is not part of the recall and repairs would be an out of pocket cost. These tone wheel failures are a known issue by the manufacturer and flashing the ECU is a half measure at best in an effort for them to do as little as possible to address the actual issue for the consumer. The safety of my wife and other drivers was put at risk when the vehicle suddenly and unexpectedly went into limp mode on a busy highway where limp mode is well below the speed of traffic. Had the recall addressed the known faulty part instead of just telling the ECU to force limp mode when the known faulty part inevitably fails the safety of my wife and the public would not have been affected by this issue.

My wife and I were leaving my daughters house Christmas Day when I started my 2014 Ram pickup and it felt like a locked steering column was locked. Shut it off and restarted it but it didn’t respond. I had it towed the next day to the dealer that services my vehicle and the steering control module shorted out which meant the whole steering system has to be replaced at a cost of $3700.00. Plus 3 weeks to get the part. The only good thing is we weren’t driving when it happened. As it turns out no recalls for what I consider a very dangerous condition with absolutely no prior warning. Researched and found out it’s happened to many others while they were driving, but no deaths so Ram doesn’t consider it recall worthy, so how many consumers have to die or get seriously hurt? It has 26540 miles!

Was driving one day while towing a trailer and all of a sudden while making a left turn the power steering went out which caused me to hit an embarkment and damage the front bumper area of my vehicle. My safety was put at risk because of the damage it caused and how difficult the steering became all of a sudden without warning or anything. There weren't any warning prior to the power steering going out, but as soon as it went out a symbol appeared on the dashboard. This was the first time that I have ever seen that symbol. Vehicle hasn't been inspected by anybody other than myself. Checked for recalls and saw that my 2014 wasn't included.

Approximately 1 year ago, the factory air suspension system on my 2014 Ram 1500 Limited would cease to function, displaying an alert saying "Air Suspension Immediate Service Required", and the suspension system would drop down to the point that the truck suspension was riding on the bump-stops. I took the vehicle to a Dodge/Ram Dealership service center, where the suspension compressor and air distribution valving was replaced, costing of $5,000.00. Initially this cured the problem, but a few months later, the problem cropped up again. This issue has now progressed to the point that at about 30=45 minutes into driving, the same alert comes up on my dash display, with the same results.

The electronic power steering system started to fail on its own. There was no real reason for this problem. There is full power to system and no blown fuses. It is a gamble as to when the system decides when it wants to work.

Electronic power steering was intermittently failing, but is now fully inoperable. Steering is hard and the electronic power steering light is flashing on the dash.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving at 50–60 MPH, the steering wheel seized. The contact depressed the brake pedal and slowly drove into the ditch.

I was driving truck and was taking a right turn and the steering locked up and I almost smashed into car. I stopped truck and backed up and put onto drive and it took all my strength to turn the wheel to the right. Had truck towed and found out that the electronic steering went bad. This problem needs to be looked at because someone is going to get hurt or killed if the steering goes out at higher speeds

While driving during a cold spell. Power steering just went out while negotiating a curve. With the sudden loss of power steering vehicle was partially pulled from the roadway. After stopping and regrouping noticed there is red steering wheel warning light on the cluster. In warm weather there is no issue seems. Only happens in colder weather.

My electric steering went out while driving almost causing an accident and the whole unit has to be replaced and it’s around $2900. I’m filing a complaint because I notice online I’m not the only one having this issue that millions of people have had this problem and no recall for my truck to fix this issue. I just had an engine and going to have the power steering put in when it comes in. I had to replace the motor due to the lifters and the mds tearing up my motor. Thank you, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

This is the 4th time it's happened and also the 2nd time iv almost been killed!! I have a 2014 ram 1500 which iv grown to love. Iv have alot of issues but never complained and just took care of ... yet the gauge cluster display decides to go into a party mode (strobing) and flickering or just flat out going black!!! I have bad eyes and twice now within 2 months driving at night iv gone off the road because of the flashing in my eyes! Iv found this is a common issue but the dealer told me I cannot get it fixed even though it's been recalled under other trucks! This has almost killed me! Please all I'm asking is to fix this for me... I love this truck but I'm terrified to drive it now with this issue let alone get rid of it and God for bid someone else has an accident . Please help a ram fan pile on the miles with a safe vehicle.. thank you for your time, im sorry for the long message but this is very serious and obviously a safety issue . Again, iv gone off the road and avoided a very serious incident that was caused by a faulty part. I completly understand parts going bad and having to replace them out of pocket. NOTHING SHOULD WORK FINE ONE MINUTE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN START STROBBING IN ANYONES FACE . Thank you again

I see there is a recall on some trucks of the same model for fuel tank strap. I looked at mine and notice one of the straps is broken. I can not find the recall for my truck but others have one.

Safety Recall Z46 has not been resolved, for 18 months, due to "parts not available"! If it's truly a SAFETY issue, how can this not be addressed in a timely fashion?

your letter says I can review my report but couldn't find it NHTSA JD#11531515 SO On JULY 7th I started up my truck put it in reverse and had no power steering shut it off and restart still the same could not turn the wheel. I checked the internet someone said check the 2 fuses by battery they were good. had towed on Monday 7-10-23 to Fayetteville dodge they checked it out said I needed a new elect. power rack. they ordered and it took 3 weeks at a total cost $5172.23 out of my pocket. I have pict. of old rack numbers P68230029AA TIC1713C5058 made in LUNGT AN TAIWAN 04301477146714 & 77053805480546 also all paper from dealer with numbers of new rack 68536637AB GEAR RACK and PINION THANK YOU FOR THE WORK YOU DO

While idle at a stop light, the emergency brake warning is triggered and immediately after the truck turns off and the shifter locks while on drive. Another code pops up prompting to shift to park but the shifter is locked on drive.

ABS control unit failed as diagnosed by an independent repair shop when the dealer was contacted for parts availability was told part would not be released until April 2024. Currently my vehicle has no ABS, traction control, Vehicle stability control etc..... After doing some online research I have found many, many people that have had this same concern for years now with this same part. How is this not a recall at this point seeing as how when this module fails it disables the majority of the safety features on the vehicle?

While driving on a busy winding surface street, as I was accelerating from a stop at a traffic light, I received an audible notification chime, accompanied by a red power steering warning light, and a message in the message center to "Service Power Steering." My steering wheel immediately became exceptionally difficult/heavy to turn. I was able to overpower the resistance and maintain vehicle control, but needed to drive much slower than posted speed limits and the flow of traffic to maintain directional control. I was able to drive to a safe location and stop. This is the first instance of this occurring in my vehicle. After stopping, I was able to inspect all fuses and electrical connections and verified that they were all in working order. I am grateful that this occurred while I was driving, and not my wife or daughter, and that it did not occur at a high rate of speed. Otherwise, the situation could have turned disastrous. After one day of leaving the vehicle alone, I started it, and the steering worked normally. However, within a few moments, the same indications repeated, including the chime, warning lights, and high resistance to turning the wheel. I am taking the vehicle into a service center within days.

Vehicle began experiencing electrical issues upon ABS/HCU unit failure. While initially intermittent, which allowed continued usage of the vehicle, additional components such as cruise control, trailer braking, etc., began to malfunction. Warning lights would toggle on and off, and truck began to have no-start problems with C0020 ABS codes and UO140 codes being thrown. Truck went to two Ram dealerships for inspection and neither could replicate any issues, but they were able to see the warning lights and code history. After being advised to first replace TIPM, battery, and starter, my truck has now completely died in my driveway. When I attempt to start, the check engine light comes on (in addition to ABS, trailer brake, traction control, etc.) and flashes between 3-10 times. I've now been told by dealer that the problem is actually in the ABS module and HCU, which due to the known issues with these parts may have caused damage to all of these other components, leading to the fault in the canbus system. This has been ongoing for nearly two years, which is ridiculous for the money spent on this vehicle. I've been advised by other Ram truck owners dealing with this type of situation to file a report in efforts to aid the ongoing investigation. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of any further help, or alternatively if there is a resolution to this matter. Thank you and kind regards.

Power steering is failing. Only doing it intermittently as of now flashing red steering wheel appears for a minute when it first started and goes away and steering is restored took it to dealer and the parts seem to be not readily available and quoted me 3000+ dollars for parts And $1100 for labor and said the whole power steering rack has to be replaced. Could go out completely soon and dealer part not available or aftermarket

Front suspension bracket where the crossmember is welded to the frame. The weld failed and separated from the frame. Possible metal fatigue. Vehicle was driving in a straight line at low speeds when it became wobbly and unstable driving. Pulled to the right hard and almost caused a wreck. Components separated causing brakes to stop working, damage to oil pan, inner & outer tie rod, spring, shock, bushings, tire, wheel, and body damage. Would have been detrimental and potentially fatal if this happened with speeds higher. Vehicle is not drivable and had to be towed by rollback. Emergency brakes had to be used in order to stop vehicle.

I was driving at 45mph, and the steering wheel locked completed it was extremely dangerous and I almost crash. I am wondering if there any recall. Pissed costumer.

mild crash! my Ram 1500 pickup trucks can lose power-steering with no warning. I could NOT turn!

Power steering wheel it not working extremely difficult to steer!

Could not drive back home, it got extremely dangerous when it locked it. my steering wheel does not steer. there are lights on my dashboard. EPS AND ENGINE

ABS Module failure causing disablement of cruise control, anti lock brakes, and traction control systems. Without these systems vehicle is experiencing degraded braking performance and no traction control /ABS to assist drivers in wet or slick road conditions or emergency braking. No parts are available from the manufacture, with no known date when the part will be available in order to repair this issue. This means the vehicle will have to be operated without the effected safety systems causing increased risk to the driver and other motorist.

Leaky manifold with broken bolts replaced on passenger side by RAM dealer at my cost. Drivers side now needs replaced. RAM 1500 has 71,000 miles on it. The pickup has and had a ticking noise for at least a year before dealer discovered it during an oil change. I wasn’t aware it was due to the defective manifolds. This seems to be a common problem with RAMs. Concerned about breathing in noxious fumes.

Purchased this vehicle new in 2014- after driving it today for about 20 miles it was parked for about two hours at work when I went to leave I noticed that my power steering wasn't working & a message came up on the dash board "Service Power Steering"- Never experienced this problem before or had any warning that something was wrong. Vehicle was almost impossible to turn, fortunately I was only about six miles from home. Very Scary

I was driving 60mph and my power steering wheel stop working and a light on dashboard from steering power wheel came on, I could not steer, it was really difficult and dangerous to drive though traffic it was almost impossible to turn the vehicle. I am reading a recall for my car This recall applies to 2013-2019 Ram 1500 trucks equipped with electronic power steering (EPS). Some EPS gear assemblies may have been built with a contaminated circuit card assembly that may short circuit. A short in the control circuit components may result in an intermittent loss of power steering assist.

The fuel sensor keeps failing and I have to replace . This is the 3rd one and the dealer and or company knows that it is defective and will not recall. Everytime I get it repaired it costs me 1200.00 because you have to drop fuel tank to get to. The fuel pump and sensor causes the truck not to start and the fuel gauge will not work . Also the straps holding the fuel tank are suspect as well for coming loose and causing fire.

On August 9 2023 I was driving my ram and it just completely shut down. Had towed to dealership. It’s now been 2 months and no answer on when I will be getting my truck fixed. Still making payments on this thing and it’s just sitting and cost me money from sitting. I keep getting the run around from ram

While parking, the steering locked up. I was unable to turn the steering wheel or the wheels. A mechanic later confirmed the electronic power steering rack and pinion component failed.

The Power Steering went out on my 2014 RAM 1500 at approximately 98,000 miles. The first time this happened, while I was driving at low speeds, the steering wheel would intermittently lock up. I couldn't turn the steering wheel, intermittently. I brought the truck to the RAM dealer for repair. They replaced my Rack & Pinion for $4,000. The second time this happened, slightly less than 1,000 miles after the Rack & Pinion replacement, I couldn't turn the steering wheel at all. Fortunately, I was on my driveway. I had the truck towed to the RAM dealer for warranty repair. If I had been driving and the steering completely locked up, it could have been fatal.

Steering is not safely operable at all You cannot steal the vehicle if you lose your power steering which is electronically controlled some of these units were recalled and they're used on several thousand trucks with this electrical system and you can't get the parts because there's so many being repaired. It's a very expensive part and if steering goes out while you're towing a camper or my case a tractor it could be very dangerous you could put your family at risk and your life at risk and others at risk. This is an ongoing problem with these trucks and it should be addressed and has been somewhat by the manufacturer for just a couple of years for some kind of contamination but it needs to be included on all these models from 13 to 19 if you study you'll see that there is several thousand trucks with steering issues that completely with no notice stop working. It's a very dangerous situation and I think they should recall it and replace it I did have to order a part it's $2,000 plus labor The dealer ship cannot get the part I had to get it from another supplier.

The components that malfunctioned in my 2014 Ecodiesel Ram 1500 was the fuel sending unit and fuel pump. As I was driving on the freeway my truck started cutting out and stalling from 75 mph. It finally stalled and I was able to pull over in the middle island on the freeway I was on. The truck would start then turn off. The fuel gauge read over 1/4 tank of diesel fuel. The safety of myself or my family could have been at risk if someone else was driving that truck. Even for myself trying to pull out of full commuter traffic was very dangerous with a stalled vehicle. I don't know if the problem has been reproduced or reported by any other owner of the same vehicle. The only inspection was done by the Auto shop that works on my truck. Their were no warning lights or alerts on my dashboard display while this event took place. I had my vehicle towed to the shop that does service for me. They discovered I was out of fuel due to a faulty sending unit and fuel pump. The fuel gauge on the dash was showing 1/4 tank when it was actually empty.

Driving in town, received a "Service Power Steering" light and message, lost power steering. Very difficult to steer afterwards.

My 2014 ram 1500 has a ticking noise which in turn is creating an exhaust smell inside my vehicle which is making me dizzy / sleepy when I drive.

On Saturday Sept. 23, 2023 I was driving about 25-30 MPH and the power steering went out. I took the truck to the dealership immediately that day for diagnostics. They said the Power steering rack failed (part #68628858AA) and the part is not available. They said it is on backorder until January 2024 or possibly longer. I picked up the truck that Tuesday, Sept. 26, 2023 to sit in the drive until further notice. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. My safety and others were put at risk when driving and the power steering went out without notice. I was unable to steer the vehicle in a timely manner, or if I needed to swerve quickly would not have been able to do that. As of right now the vehicle has only been inspected by the dealership. Prior to the steering going out, There was also ABS brake warning light which I had looked at by an independent service center on Aug. 17th, 2023 who determined that I needed a new ABS brake module replace (part #68228991AD).

Second time in 1 year my power steering has stopped working without warning. Hopefully it will start working again out of nowhere like last time but no guarantee. Luckily I have strong arms but someone older or compromised would not be able to drive this truck. This was a recall however my 2014 was not included in it which is ridiculous because it definitely has the electrical issue stated in the recall pertaining to this issue. Please address as this can be very dangerous for people.

Truck has hardly ever been driven,, at 2,602mi smelled plastic burning for about 5 seconds when first cranked up,, this happened 2 different times, then no power steering,, warning light came on ,, been PARKED,, after researching the problem of CONTAMINATION OF THE EPS MODULE,, called MY RAM DEALER won't give me an app. for 2 months to check it out,, THEY KNOW WHAT IT IS,, TY RAM

There have been several recalls on this vehicle. The day after purchase there was a class action settlement. I’m curious as to how the dealership was allowed to sell this vehicle knowing they had all the information in regards to the sell. The vehicle should have had a stop sell. Our family was at risk when the engine started to give out while on the road. The vehicle has been sitting at the shop for months with back and forth on an engine failure, etc. replacement. It’s all fine to purchase the vehicle, yet we are facing the consequences of the manufacturer/dealership negligence and left with no help and being dismissed due to claims of parts not available. We have a family of 6 and down to one vehicle but, not our part but, due to the fact we have one vehicle. I have sent an email 3 times due to this issue and no one bothers to touch base. The recalls had to have been known by the seller, yet did not disclose the potential risks. We went through major decisions to find a way to pay the vehicle off and I feel that because it is, they got their money and do not care. However, we do and it does not disregard the fact it was manufactured improperly and sold when it should not have been. Not only were other drivers at risk due to the faulty vehicle but, my family was.

Our power steering comes and goes without warning. We did have zubek Tawas motors look at it , they say need to replace the steering assembly cost $2500, as the power steering pump is intragateed and not a solo unit, we researched and saw that we are not the only one having this problem

Steering intermittently stops working, especially when navigating turns. The steering gets stuck in the turned position. Definitely very dangerous. If I hadn't slammed on the brakes, I would have been in the woods. The power steering warning light came on, but went off when vehicle was restarted. Yet the problem persists.

Electronic Power Steering failure. Lost while driving.

The vehicle power steering stopped working without warning making the vehicle very difficult to steer if at all steerable. The power steering warning light on the dash came on at the same time the issue began. This made the vehicle very dangerous to drive. Luckily I was driving on a straight and not in the middle of a curve or it would have been difficult to stay in the lane I was in. I have tried to get a service advisor at the dealership close to my home and have left messages but have not been contacted nor do they return my calls.

TWO YEARS AGO MY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR WENT BAD AND STOPPED READING MY GAS LEVEL. I HAD TO ORDER A NEW SENSOR ,FROM THE DEALER. WHICH COMES WITH A FUEL PUMP AND HAVE MY GAS TANK DROPPED TO REPLACE. THE PART HAS A ONE YEAR WARRANTY AND THE TOTAL COST IS APPR $900 TO FIX. NOW SIX MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY, THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED. MY GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AND ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. A DIAGNOSTIC READER POINTS TO MY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. I CHECKED YOUTUBE AND RAM FORUMS TO SEE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT RAM REFUSES TO ADDRESS. CAN WE GET JUSTICE HERE?

2014 Dodge RAM with the Hemi engine - noticing a ticking sound coming from the truck’s engine bay. Sound seems to lessen or stop after the engine has warmed up. This is from broken exhaust manifold bolts and a broken manifold. This is the third time this has happend with 150k miles. It creates dangerous exhaust leak in engine campartment!

EPS Rack and pinion failure, While driving home my steering lost all power steering, luckily I was abilie to keep it on the road and slow down to pull off the road way if i were at highway speeds I don't believe i would have been able to keep from having an accident where i had to have it towed back to my house because it was undrivable and im glad my wife was not driving at the time because she would not have been abilie to safe it from have an accident. the truck is Available for inspection YES Mine and my Family safety was both put at risk do to almost have an accident running off the road The truck has not been inspected There where NO warning lights or other messages, the only appeared after the Near accident a small red steering wheel flash on the dash and a EPS Steering message in the display.

Service Electronic Braking System warning on the EVIC comes on, no cruise control, not sure if anti-lock brakes will work properly and various other items won't work. Huge problem with 4th Generation RAM Owners.

No accident has happened but I have had the Anti-lock brake module go bad in my truck and it has disabled cruise control, anti-lock brakes and traction control. So basically just old fashion standard braking is all that is working. Took it to the dealership and they told me the part is on hold by Ram for review by their engineers. So I called Ram directly and they said it is under review but they could expedite the part for me. I see there is a law suit pending for the 2017-2018 Ram 2500 and 2017-2018 Ram 3500 but not any other years. After doing some further research online and using an ODB reader I see that this is actually a very common issue even with my year and model. Even at the dealership when I started to explain the issue, they stopped my and told me exactly what it was and that they have seen it many times. I believe because of the number of issues being registered online and in dealerships that this should be a safety recall, especially because we are talking about braking. I will attach photos.

On Monday I was on my way to work when my ABS Light, Traction Control Light, and Parking Brake Light all came on at the same time and a message on the dash that said “Service ABS System”. I took my truck to the dealership on 12-Sep for them to look at it. The dealership advised my ABS Control Module failed and needs to be replaced but they cannot get one until April of 2024. When I asked about the safety of driving the vehicle, I was advised the vehicle can be driven but I need to be very cautious while driving because I have no anti-lock brakes until the part is replaced. I travel on the interstate daily for my kids school and to work for 45-60 minutes in each direction during rush hour traffic. Not having anti-lock brakes makes me concerned my safety, the safety of my kids, and the safety of anyone around me should I have to slam on brakes in an emergency.

Loss of power steering randomly while driving and very hard to turn vehicle. Very dangerous and risks safety of myself and others because steering wheel locks up and does not want to turn while driving. I don’t feel safe driving it like this. Local shop said it is the electric power steering issue. No warning lights.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving approximately 25 MPH, the vehicle lost power steering functionality, requiring excessive force while maneuvering the vehicle. The contact stated that a red steering symbol with an exclamation point was displayed on the instrument cluster. The vehicle had now become inoperable. The contact had not taken the vehicle to the dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.

problems with the heating coolant temperature regulation sometimes not heating at all or cooling too much. Check engine light came on and coded that toe coolant bypass valve was the issue. This has since been replaced 4 times over the last two years . The wiring was checked and working. The mechanic (not Dodge) stated that there was a software update needed that had to come from the manufacturer yet the Dodge dealer will not acknowledge this. Technical Service Bulletin [XXX] . INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Front fuel tank T strap has become corroded and detached from bracket causing fuel tank to hang down low in front and shakes while driving. Recall #18v-160 pertains to this specific issue for people like myself who live in salt belt BUT it only includes ram 1500’s up to year 2012 however 2013-2014 rams have this same exact T strap as the one recalled. This is a huge safety issue as it could cause a fire. I should not have to pay for this repair when Chrysler knows it’s a faulty part. I don’t understand why that recall wouldn’t cover 2014 ram 1500’s when it’s exactly the same as the 2012 covered ram 1500’s.

Instrument cluster screen flickered dim and light for several months. Instrument cluster is now completely white showing a blank screen.

I have a intermittent loss of power steering causing the vehicle to be very difficult to turn. Doesn’t feel safe to drive the vehicle. I checked the number on powersteering gear and it doesn’t match the numbers listed on the equipment safety recall vb9 put out by fca. The symptoms are identical to the one listed in the current safety recall.

No start issue. I initially started my truck and it was running very rough and the check engine light came on so I shut it off, and then attempted to restart my truck and it turned over fine but would not start. This left me stranded out of town late in the day so I had it towed to my home. I have now learned that there are two outstanding recalls, one for the tone wheel (20V475) and for the high pressure fuel pump (22V406) either of which would cause a no start. I have contacted a local dealership and they informed me that they already have a truck in their shop for the same problems and it has been there for over six months. I then called the dealership were I purchased it on July 10, 2023 and they said they could not take care me because the parts are not available and suggested I take it to an independent repair shop.

Rolled over a small pothole, my speed was 3-5 mp. I lost steering. I had a mechanic checked the system, it had a c2217 code. Which is an internal steering module

While driving the steering all of a sudden became almost impossible to turn. Upon pulling vehicle over an shutting down and restarting the truck, it was ok, but then did the same thing the next day, then an entire week there after intermittently. I have taken it locally to be looked at by the RAM dealer near me. Laurel Chrysler RAM in Johnstown Pennsylvania. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle.

My wife has been complaining that the steering gets stiff and unresponsive sometimes.

This is in regard to NHTSA recall 22V-406. This recall has been in effect for over a year, with the possibility of the vehicle shutting down while driving causing a crash. They have not issued a remedy in a timely manner. Can the NHTSA please follow up as this is a safety issue. Thanks.

For the past year or so, the power steering will cut out requiring significantly increased effort. This seems to be random and comes and goes. Recently it has become more frequent including today when I was turning at an intersection, This appears to be an issue with this generation of Ram trucks so I felt I should report it.

EPS went out while driving down the interstate. It is available to inspect on request. I was able to get pulled over without any accidents. Nothing confirmed from dealer yet. No warning lights came on, just happened instantly.

Without warning power steering goes in and out. Sometimes it works just fine other times it has happened while driving on the highway. Sometimes will start with power steering already not working.

Was driving to gym and power steering rack that everyone else is having issues with went out while driving. I was able to muscle my truck off the highway and into the parking lot of the gym. From there it was towed to a auto repair shop and quoted almost $4,000 to fix. I was able to get the part and fix it for $2,700. The part only was $2,435. We need paid back from Mopar. This is not right so many people are having the same issue. Thank you.

Engine stalled while passing vehicle on the highway. Lost power no acceleration. Once the engine stalled and I could not accelerate multiple vehicles behind me almost wrecked almost causing a multiple car pile up. It was towed to dealership. Dealership ran its diagnosis and the issue was the tone wheel. They told me it was a recall 66A that has no fix yet. Multiple warning lamps came on once the engine stalled. Once parked tried starting the truck and it would not turn over. It told me to service engine throttle body control. There were no warnings before the engine stalled. I bought the truck a week ago and now I do not have a vehicle or an ETA on when my truck will be fixed. There is another recall out on this truck from almost a year ago with no fix either. I called FCA and all they told me is there was no fix. Now I have no vehicle and FCA wont give me a rental truck. So now I have no truck haul or tow with.

Power Steering Failed all of a sudden while riding around 40mph. put myself and others in danger. Unable to turn without puttting alot of strength into it. No warning lamps or messages about power steering.

The fuel gauge and fuel sensor is faulty in my 2014 Ram 1500 and there are thousands of owners for Ram 1500s with the exact same issue. This should be a National recall. My vehicle is currently on a full tank but reads this way.

the fuel tank straps disconnected, it appears there was a recall on the 2009-2012 ram 1500 trucks. The issue persists in the later years as well, 2 of the 3 straps disconnected.

Over a year ago I received a recall for my 2014 Eco Diesel 1500 truck for Z46 recall for a high pressure fuel pump, I called numerous time for repair but was told the part was not available. On 6/29/2023 while traveling on the highway, the truck loss power and I had to make an emergency stop on the side of the road, with trucks and cars zipping pass me, I got there safely and called a tow truck. Vehicle was towed to Leith Dodge Ram, in Wendell, NC for repair. They told me the fuel pump exploded and there was shards in the engine. The Service Manager Doug Welch said it would be fixed as they are responsible because of the recall. They don't answer any messages I left and refuse to let me know when I will get my truck back. Please help!!! They need to fix it or replace it. Thank you in advance for your help

I am currently experiencing intermittent power steering failure, my 2014 Ram 1500 only has about 80k miles on the clock as I barely drive it. About 3 months ago I noticed heavy/slow steering, not totally failure, but more stiff than usual. About a month following that, I noticed intermittent steering loss, luckily I noticed the problem early and was able to respond accordingly. However, due to the steering being intermittent, it is unsafe to continue using the vehicle for the time being as there is no way to know when it will cut in and out meaning the vehicle can act unpredictably. Thankfully I have another vehicle to use, but looking at the repairs, it would probably cost me close to 2000 dollars and I would rather not pay for something that expensive unnecessarily.

While driving, the power steering stop functioning. There was no accident however, it functioning properly in traffic.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact received notifications of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel) and 23V411000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) however, the parts to do the recall repairs were not yet available. The local dealer was contacted, and the contact was informed that parts for the recall repairs were not yet available. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Truck with under 60k miles. Experienced intermitent to full power steering loss. Truck would get really hard to steer at all speeds, especially in banking curves. Would also oversteer while making 90° turns, like it had a sticky steering wheel - that did not want to return to position. My mechanic said the electronic power steering was shot and since it was a part of the rack and pinion, the entire rack needed replaced. Turns out the part is recalled on 15'-19' models, but not my '14. Although it seems to be a known issue. Dodge said to me and my mechinic seperately, that due to scarcity the part was not available, and if it was it would be $2,500 for the part alone. Dodge corporate told me that it needed to be looked at by one of their service centers. The local dodge svc center told me, that unless I showed that I did prior work at the dealership, Dodge would do nothing for me, not to waste my time or $$ on a 2nd diag. A third shop was able to find a remanufatured rack and pinion and installed it for $1880.96...and still I worry the issue will arise again. The reman part has a 3yr warranty - a part, I am told should have lasted the life of the vehicle. Although the repair was done the past couple of weeks, I have no idea if the shop disposed of it or not. The part put me at risk as it would all of a sudden stop working, while driving. The problem was reproduced and identified by 2 serperate independent service centers. No lights came on my dash. While it could have, it did not cause accident or injury, but it did put my work truck out of commision for a while.

While driving the steering completely failed and the vehicle was extremely hard to turn. I managed to slow the vehicle without incident and drove the vehicle very slowly home. I see there is an investigation into this and I'd like to add my testimony.

intermittent power stering loss. steering light on dash would come on and power steering would stop working. Had to manhandle the steering. Thank goodness no accident.7 Dealer replaced gear rack. 8/1/2023 Cost $3600. to have power stering replaced.

Driving down the the highway of Creedmoor Road in Raleigh, NC, I had a sudden loss of power steering and hit a guard rail. Luckily, the only damage was to the front bumper. I took the vehicle into my local garage and they said that the power steering is Electronically controlled by the Rack and Pinion and that it had failed. The parts are nearly $3,000. My truck only has 80k miles on it. Looking throughout various forums, it seems that this is happening to many others as well with various amounts of miles. Until right now, my truck still has no power steering and is undriveable. The part is not available for purchase. This is a very dangerous situation. Had it been my wife driving, she would not have been able to control the steering as the v8 weighing on the front wheels makes it difficult to turn at all.

Driving through Vermont from New Hampshire ,we took a winding road to get off the highway and going through a corner the trucks power steering locked up and i had to slow down and muscle it to the side of the road, scared the hell out of me. We went back to the highway, straight roads to get back home. It is at a dealer waiting for the parts, it has cost me a new battery so far, was checked the day before at Valvoline 13.5 volts. I am not liking the $ 4,000.00 + figure to fix it.

The power steering went out while I was driving on the highway At posted speed limit. I was unable to freely steer and navigating through traffic became extremely dangerous. I’ve taken it to two mechanics and they said the rack and pinion needs to be replaced due to the component being part of the steering mechanism. No warning lights came on prior to me driving. The warning light came on while I was driving as soon as the powering steering went out.

When I start the engine, the steering wheel icon comes on. It says service power steering. There's no power to turn the steering wheel. After the engine runs and I turn off the engine and start it again, the icon doesn't come on and I now have steering power. This happened 3 times. I currently have the truck in the shop to be serviced. The amount is $4500. I need to know if this is a recall issue. I don't have this amount to spend on this concern. Althea Smith

Power steering failure. Electronic power steering rack failed while driving. Caused vehicle to go off road. Was able to avoid hitting anything but was only lucky.

My truck has 87,000 miles. 1st my engine went out last month because of a known engine issue that Dodge is not owning up to on Hemi engines. 3 weeks later after replacing the engine my Power steering went out as I was driving causing it to be very hard to drive. These are both known issues with these trucks that recalls should in place for. I have spent close to $14,000 in one month fixing these issues Dodge should be paying for on a truck with only 87,000 miles.

Complete loss of steering assist (electric power steering). A large number of vehicles experienced the same issue, but the dealer advised that there was not a factory recall. There were so many failures that aftermarket rebuilds were not available, as only hard parts were replaced during rebuilding. Circuit board failures were not repairable. I paid a RAM dealer over $4200 for repairs, and had to wait 2 months for parts, because so many had previously failed. I would like to see NTSB force a recall, and I would like to recover my repair cost, as the RAM factory is clearly responsible.

Loss of powersteering assist on start up. Also loss of steering assist while driving down the road. Has even had no power assist when ambient temp under 32 F degrees out side.

While on vacation in Canada, power steering went out. It came back once for less than a mile and went out again. I was told the remanufactured parts were on back order. Once I got the truck back to Missouri I was quoted $3440 for the part. I found it online from a dealer in McKinney Texas and repaired it myself for $1878. Several times as we limped the truck back to Missouri, my friend would have to help turn the wheel as we pulled into and out of tight turns.....going through towns, gas stations, etc. I do my own work on all my vehicles, so it was never looked at by my dealer. I ordered the parts from a Dodge dealer in McKinney Texas and repaired it myself. I had read people were having issues with intermittent steering. This was the first time for me. We pulled into the lodge, in Canada, to get a bag of ice. When my friend returned to the truck, I actually thought it had shut off because I couldn't turn the steering wheel to leave. Got it to the cabin and checked the fuse at the battery and all the wiring down to the EPS. Unhooked the battery and made sure all the connections were clean and when we put it back together the steering came back. Shut the truck off and later on when we went to leave the steering was out of it again.

Steering assist light on dash blinks for two to three minutes at engine start. Steering wheel locked up. After a few minutes light goes out, steering works fine. This occurs every start up since fall 2022. Larry Miller dodge Tucson confirmed.

My power steering suddenly stopped working while driving. Turned truck off and back on. Power steering was back. Started truck up the next day and power steering is completely off.

Unknown… Steering wheel get tight and stiff as if it’s trying to pull in a different direction….

At speeds over 65 mph the truck vibrates violently. We have had it to 3 different repairs places, new tire’s balanced, new front parts and it still vibrates.

Steering Rack Failure. Started inttermittenly then became undriveable.

Power Steering went out while exiting on high way. Steering went out and it was extremely hard to exit going 65mph. I have called every to find a new power steering and they are on back order.

Power Steering seems to go in and out. This results in a loss of control of the vehicle.

Electric Power steering rack failed unexpectedly. Drove the truck to work in the morning and it was fine. Went to leave for home at the end of the day and it wasn't working. Dealer said it was bad and needed replaced and wanted $4000 to repair. The next day it suddenly started working, pulling out of parking spot at work, and almost hit a car next to me.

On 07 May 2023, the engine temperature light came lite up on my 2014 Ram 1500 which has the Fiat Chrysler Pentastar 3.6L V6 engine. The engine had approximately 138,000 miles on it. The incident occurred while driving on a major interstate highway with three (3) other people in the vehicle. We were fortunate to have an exit close to where the incident occurred and we were able to get the truck off the highway. An independent service center was contacted and performed a diagnostic on the truck. They only code found at the time was for the engine temperature light. On 21 May 2023, the check engine light came on with no warning nor were there any previous or prior failures with the coolant system. A scan revealed a P0303 Cylinder 3 misfire was detected. On 25 May 2023, I replaced all six (6) spark plugs and coil packs. On 04 June 2023, the check engine light came on and a scan revealed a a P0303 Cylinder 3 misfire was detected. I made an appointment at Faulkner Ram Dodge dealership in Mechanicsburg, PA and was able to get the truck in until 07 July 2023. During the period 04 June 2023 through 06 July 2023, I did not drive the truck. On 07 July 2023, the dealership informed me the engine head gasket had blown, allowing coolant into cylinder 3 which was the cylinder that had shown up on the scan as the cylinder 3 misfire. The dealership indicated a new engine would be required to fix the problem. I ordered a rebuilt Fiat Chrysler Pentastar 3.6L V6 engine from Jasper Engines and it's currently being installed by one of their preferred engine installers. Upon doing research on the Fiat Chrysler Pentastar 3.6L V6 engine, the cylinder 3 misfire is a known issue and typically ends with a new engine being installed into the vehicle. There are no warnings or symptoms of the issue prior to failure. The dealership repair center indicates the issue was caused by a blown head gasket and a new engine is in order. This is exactly my same experience.

Like the 2011,2012 rams, the front support strap for the gas tank failed. (The tank is being held on by a ratchet strap) Going to call a dealer for repair but heard the recall was extended to 2018:

When driving vehicle with my with the check engine light appeared. We were on interstate and truck would not accelerate above 45-50 mph with intermittent surges. I called dealership and they took in my vehicle and replaced the Module Powertrain Control stating that would fix issue. After replacing MPC they check engine light was still not repaired. Dealership told me that fuel pump, fuel lines, intake manifold, and coolant leak needed to be repaired, I asked dealership if that would fix issue and they stated that they did not know and were working with Chrysler/Dodge/Ram to resolve. After a total of 7 weeks the repairs are still not completed. Prior to picking up vehicle I called FCA USA LLC and asked what was being done to get recalls repaired and received responses that repair solution has not been sent to dealerships and another stated parts were not available. I picked up truck and was told that I would need to add coolant every 3 days and not let the fuel level get low to keep fuel pump from failing. I spoke with FCA - Dodge ram and they stated they still do not have parts or a repair for the two recalls mention. In addition the coolant leak would not be repaired under warranty since I had the EGR and intake replaced as a recall due to a failure in 2021. They stated warranties do not apply to recall work. My concern is that they cannot fix the two outstanding year old recalls and have no direction for dealerships. How do I get these issues fixed?

This is the second attempt reporting this issue with this vehicle and I have not received any response. This vehicle has recalls and was sold with recalls, in which I find this highly irresponsible from all angles. You can see for yourself the safety risks, it is very clear it is a safety hazard issue. Yes, the vehicle has been looked at and we have the proper paperwork and also, yes, warning lights have come on and they were checked and dismissed as “normal.” It is not normal, nor is it safe, nor is this acceptable. Not a single person, manufacturer, even cares to fix this problem that did not occur on our behalf, it is due to horrible manufacturing. How these vehicles are allowed to be sold blows my mind.

Air suspension system fails causing dangerous driving condition. This is an ongoing issue which began periodically when temperatures dropped below 32 degrees. Now it is occurring more frequently causing the vehicles steering and stability to be compromised. Fuel tank strap failed due to heavy rust causing one end of tank to drop and scrap on the road surface. Potential safety and fire hazard.

4 of the exhaust manifold bolts were broken, so exhaust manifold was leaking and making vehicle very loud. Both sides of engine had broken bolts. Safety of me and my passengers was not at risk, if you were to exclude our eardrums. I had an independant service center fix the issue. the failed component was not inspected by the manufacturer, police or insurance representatives. The shop that did the work inspected the failed components. The engine was making a loud ticking noise while running. Noise was emitting from both sides of the engine.

Was changing drivers thought I had put the vehicle in park passenger got out I got out and the truck began to run backwards it knocked us both down and hit a telephone pole with the passenger side door passenger was able to run and catch vehicle in time before it ran backwards into traffic

Steering locked up and had to replace Steering Rack. Found out many models have had same issue with SAME PART. This should also have been part of any recall due to the nature and severity of this failure. Part was hard to find due to the nature of this issue and many have been replaced This issue could have caused a severe if not deadly accident if component would have failed while driving

This whole vehicle has several recalls, looking at what the recalls stated, those are all safety issues that could occur at any moment. The engine has failed in said vehicle. The issues at hand have been confirmed by a registered mechanic. He was unable to locate any engine for this vehicle and it was taken to a dealership, in which they will not fix. Also, have been in touch with Stillantis, however, after giving them time to respond after the initial conversation, to find out they never took down our information. Another issue is they lied and said the dealership said it was fine. The problem is that was a definite lie. They did not know where or what dealership. This vehicle was made and sold to be reliable but, it is not. There are recalls and there have been class action lawsuits but, no one is willing to help with something that was not to be sold in the first place.

The Airbags did not deploy in head on collision at a speed of over 30 mph. No warring lights were present at the time of the accident. The vehicle was totaled by the insurance adjuster and the police were on scene after the accident happened.

On two occasions the power steering stopped working and I had to physically control the truck and control the direction it was headed. The first time I was headed home and had to muscle the steering to get home. The second time as I was headed up the driveway to leave to go to the doctor's office the steering got hard to move so I parked the truck and took my other vehicle. When the power steering stops working a warning light displays on the control panel. I found on the internet that this issue is a known issue by the manufacture since at least 2021. It states that the EPS (electric power steering) module is at fault. I found out today that the module is located inside the rack and pinion. It is now July 17, 2023, and this problem caught me completely by surprise. I am currently trying to locate a rack and pinion for my vehicle with an estimated date of August 7, 2023 See below from vehiclehistory.com: What are some of the 2014 dodge Ram 1500 power steering problems? 5219 6 Top Answer Nick B. January 19, 2021 The 2014 Ram 1500 has electric power steering, so luckily You'll avoid all the issues with power steering fluid leaks, power steering pump failure, and air in the fluid. However, it comes with a whole host of new issues, which can manifest more suddenly and catastrophically (at speed). On the other hand, it seems as if these issues happen less commonly, so it's a fair trade off in the minds of many. Typically, if You're going to see a failure, it's going to be the EPS module. It's possible that You'll have intermittent power steering loss, but it commonly happens all at once -- which can really be quite dangerous if You're traveling at highway speeds. Some drivers report this failure at high mileage, but an unsettling number have reported it at 50,000 or fewer.

Electronic steering failed. Would not engage. Would not reset. While there is a recall on certain vehicles, mine VIN show 0 recall incomplete. This is a known safety issue and I am having to pay out of pocket $4100.00

While driving, all the sudden the power steering went out and a Service Power Steering Warning Light came on. The steering became almost impossible to steer and I'm a big guy. This almost caused me to run the truck off the road but thankfully I was just making a turn after stopping at a stop sign and entering onto another street. Had there been a vehicle coming down the road, I would not have been able to avoid the collision. This was an extremely dangerous situation and thankfully I didn't have my wife and kid in the car and there wasn't any oncoming traffic. When I searched online, it appears that this is an ongoing issue and there haven't been any recalls. Something needs to be done as I feel unsafe and this is my primary driver.

"service power steering" indication on dash at cold weather startup. I have experienced this for a few years now. It seems wholly related to cold temperatures, as fault does not happen during warm weather. Truck is totally unable to be steered when in this fault condition. Seems to be a very common complaint with these EPS systems since the first year they were introduced in the Ram in 2013.

There’s a lot of complains a lot of people that says dodge rams have problems with the ignition switch all over the internet there’s people taking there ignitions out and open them and cleaning them with alcohol so they can work again and turn the truck on. This just happened to me it was working perfectly then it started turning on just occasionally and now it won’t work at all. This is a big problem because is on every dodge ram 2014 and older sometimes even on 2017 and 18 with all this people complaining about the same issue is obvious this is the companies responsibility and we shouldn’t be paying hundreds of dollars when it can be fixed for free if it was on the safety recall website.

Camshaft lobe failure one of the shops in my area said they believe there is a recall?

My electric steering on my truck keeps jerking me into on coming traffic when I make a hard left or right turn.I have been working at a dealership for about 3.5 years now and have a two year degree in automotive service technology I can tell you that it is my rack and pinion. Intermittent only when turning. Please resolve this issue before some one wrecks and die.

This is an ongoing problem where if my fuel level gets down to about a quarter of a tank the truck will spurt and stall. I try to keep a minimum half tank at most times. This recall has been about a year now with no remedy in place. This is a true safety issue and needs to be resolved and all the service tech's say is there's no remedy at this time. I would like to trade/sell this vehicle but it should be sold with a safety recall like this. Why is nothing being done about this.

On May 26th, 2023 I was driving my Ram 1500 with 3.0 liter diesel down a multilane road with traffic. At about 30 mph, normal driving, the engine stalled without warning and power brakes and steering were lost. Traffic continued to pass as I had to cross lanes of traffic and coast to a stop out of the way of traffic. The vehicle could not be restarted or put into neutral to move. There were no abnormal driving issues, noises, warnings, or messages prior to the event. The truck was towed to a Ram dealership for inspection. The engine code clearly indicated that there was an issue with the crankshaft sensor. The dealership diagnosis was that the oil pump had failed and the engine was destroyed. After towing it to a second, independent shop, the actual diagnosis is that the reluctor wheel (tone wheel) and crankshaft sensor had failed, preventing fuel injection to the engine. This is a known issue on 2014-2016 Ram Ecodiesel trucks. My truck (manufactured in May 2014) was not a part of the recall. Once the transmission was removed to validate the tone wheel issue, it was confirmed when the mechanic found that the magnetic strip on the tone wheel had delaminated and broken off. The magnetic strip had multiple cracks. This part is in my possession and available for inspection. After replacing the tone wheel and crankshaft position sensor, the truck was back to running normally. The repair was completed by the shop at my expense because Ram refused to address the tone wheel issue or even look into it because it wasn't under recall. As of June 9th of 2023, Ram has said that they are possibly going to issue a recall for this (66A) but will not cover the expense because it was not repaired at a Ram dealership.

Fuel Level sensor fails, purchased truck in 2022 and it was fine, filled up one day and check engine light came out, noticed when I fill up again it goes off. This is a faulty part the "fuel level sensor" 1,000s of forums and youtube videos about it, can't believe Ram hasn't recalled this.

In reference to: NHTSA Recall #22V-406, FCA Recall #Z46. On June 9, 2022 FCA contacted me by mail to inform me that the High-Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) on my 2014 Ram 1500 Ecodiesel is being recalled. I was informed that I would be contacted when parts are available. As of today (a year later, June 19, 2023), the parts remain unavailable. My dealership said they have no parts and I have to talk to the MOPAR Recall department. The MOPAR Recall department stated I have to resolve the issue at the dealership. Meanwhile, neither the dealership nor MOPAR claim to have parts and will not repair the vehicle. MOPAR and the dealership have me running circles and neither of them claim to have parts or a way to get the parts so the recall work can be completed on my vehicle. I think I'm getting the run-around.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was not drivable.

My fuel pump disintegrated and contaminated the fuel delivery system. The dealer has had my car and the parts to fix it sinve April 11th, 2023 but the manufacturer will not approve the fix.

I have noticed the slight loss of power for the recall that is listed. It has been almost a year now and still no answer. I have contacted my dealer and they say it will be atleast till the end of the year. I have had some very close call instances, fortunately I have had no accidents. I have had to replace 2 fuel pumps. I really do not want to replace another one, but it seems as though they last about 6 months. I feel it would be appropriate to speed this proccess up or if i could get a rental until this recall is fixed. Thank you.

The factory installed air suspension has failed more times than I can count. It’s has been going on for years mainly during the winter months, but so far this year with the warmer weather it still fails probably at least once or twice a week. This issue puts everyone in danger that is around these trucks while the are having these issues with the suspension air bags deflating when on public roadways. The truck is available for inspection anytime and I encourage you to follow up with any of these trucks with complaints that suffer the same issue because if you do maybe you will realize that we are not all just crazy. This is a serious issue that needs addressed by the manufacturer. The message of immediate air suspension service required shows on the dash, or air system cooling. The defect has been confirmed/observed/examined by multiple members of law enforcement because the truck is terrible to drive and bounces so bad as it drives straight down the road with minimal bumps. The report was mentioned to dealerships before but the act like they have never heard of this issue ‍♂️. I don’t know how that’s possible.

Wiper works intermittently, sometimes it functions, sometimes it doesn't turn off. This causes a dangerous condition in rain storms. After some research it appears to be a condition across the entire Ram platform and needs to be addressed because it is a serious safety issue. Wiper motor and switch have been replaced with new parts but the issue continues.

ABS module has failed. It is available for inspection for a limited time. I have to send it to a repair facility. My ABS module controls speedometer, tire pressure sensors, seat belt chime rings constantly even when seatbelt is engaged. Several lights on the dash flash or remain on. The hydraulic pump runs and kills my battery when parked. There were no symptoms prior to failure. Only after failure. The problem has been inspected and confirmed by 2 repair facilities. One facility told me they had 18 on back-order when I inquired on a repair. There is a nationwide shortage per the Dodge Ram dealers. I have contacted Dealers, repair service centers and Dodge Corporate Headquarters. They said they have it under engineering review until August. My truck is unsafe to drive because I cannot regulate my speed (speedometer), may get rapid tire deflation (TPMS), parking brake lights sensors remain on.

I bought this 2014 RAM December of 2022. I drove the truck from Charlotte NC to Cleveland Ohio and back with no issues the week after I purchased it. At the end of January this year the FACTORY AIR SUSPENSION started giving me trouble. The Air bags deflate and will not pump back up and it becomes almost un drivable because it bounces violently and it slams down hard on the bump stops so hard it literally jars your insides and this is very very dangerous. The truck seems to have a mind of its own because it does this and then anywhere from 1-15 days later the warning lights go away and it seems to work just fine. It will pump back up and stay like it's supposed to be for anywhere from 1 day to a week and then it just automatically on its own deflates again all the way down to the bump stops and it is a terrible unsafe to drive all over again. This cycle has gone on and on and on since January. I have done all kinds of research and it seems there are possibly thousands of these trucks out there with this same issue and no factory recall that I'm aware of. Now a truck out on the roads and highways with no suspension I believe is very very dangerous I mean it literally feels like it's riding on square tires and the bouncing is so so violent and it slams down so hard after a larger bump or pot hole in the road it feels like something could actually just snap or break off. Most people like myself can't afford to make payments on a vehicle like this and she'll out thousands of dollars on a repair that is clearly a factory/ manufacturing issue and not something caused by me or any other customers with this same issue. I could really use some help with this because without transportation I can't work and driving the truck this way is going to possibly kill me or some other innocent people and I don't want that to happen for sure so I hope to hear back with some encouraging news from you guys on this issue. Thank you very much. [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Tire size is 275/60R20 115T AT+. Regarding the set of tires purchased from Sam’s Club via Pirelli, all 4 tires are dry rotted along the bead of each individual tire. The tires do not maintain pressure and the pressure drops significantly lower than the recommended PSI regarding environmental changes and ambient temperature in different regions. The manufacturer workmanship of the tire causes deflation in the tires which leads to different tread wear on the tires. I’ve contacted the manufacturer regarding the issue and they have not provided guidance to the merchant as a vendor to replace tires at no cost to the consumer submitting this report. I’m reporting this issue because Pirelli is not upholding their warranty in it’s entirety.

I was driving on a busy congested road. I was traveling 55 mph. As I was driving, a warning light came on to service the power steering (this had not happened previously and I had no warning). I realized then that my steering wheel had seized and became immobile. Using tremendous force I was able to get the truck through traffic and to the side of the road. I was unable to control the truck normally. I had to navigate across two other lanes of traffic to get the truck to a safe position. It required a great deal of strength on the steering wheel to move the truck at all. Fortunately the road I was on was straight. If there had been any curve I would have definitely been in an accident and could have seriously injured myself or others. This car has been looked at by an independent mechanic and the problem verified. He has advised that there is no manufacturer part or aftermarket part available for this issue. Additionally the manufacturer has advised there is no fix. This car is currently not driveable and in my driveway available for inspection.

Check engine light came on after replacing spark plugs and coil packs. Code reads cylinder 03 misfire. Engine has a ticking noise. Cam and lifters are what's causing the check engine light. If not replaced with the upgraded cam and lifters, engine will be no good. Would be very unsafe if my engine were to blow up while driving on the freeway or around town with my children. Dodge knows these cams and lifters are junk and should replace them with the upgraded ones

While driving I heard a sound under the truck. When I pulled over I looked under the truck and noted that one of the straps that holds the gas tank up had come loose. Further inspection noted that the strap had not broken, the part where it connected to the frame had rusted out and let the strap loose. When I looked into it I found out there was a safety recall for the same issue in prior model years. I had this repaired at Waldorf Dodge and they did not cover it under the previous recall. Please look into whether there have been other reports of the same issue for later model years than the recall covers.

I have a failure of the ABS pump and eletrical actuator. I took it to my dealer for an estimate for repair. The dealer told me it was not on the recall list for repair. I was told they could not get a new replacement and want to replace the parts with used parts from the junk yard. I was told that the cost would be $950.00 including the scan but there is no guarantee. Why is this safety issue not covered by a recall? The blog pages for dodge ram are full of people complaining about the failure.

My vehicle VIN [XXX] shown "no unprepared recalls". However I saw that there was a past recall for this vehicle. The recall dealt with the digital instrument cluster which gives data on engine management, safety features such as ABS systems, and other safety items. I do not believe my vehicle had ever been repaired. My digital instrument system flashes on and off and many times, as all day today, was completely inoperable. This has been occurring for approx one year and the dealer told me that this was normal, which it is absolutely not. The dealerships around here have a habit of falsely signing off on repairs and recalls especially if the vehicle hit their lot with a recall during a trade-in. The new buyer would have no idea of such recall. Please assist me in getting this unprepared recall repaired. I would also like to address the faulty 8 speed transmissions which shudder and shift unnecessarily. This could cause a sudden loss power on acceleration in heavy high speed traffic and merging onto an interstate. Please look into this. Thank you, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

When turning in either direction the steering wheel will get stiff. Due to the steering becoming extremely difficult, I had to have the vehicle towed as I could not control it and put my kids at risk. The truck is at the dealership getting checked out, The service advisor did see the issue when taking it for a test drive. There was no warning or indicator that there was an issue on the dashboard.

Intermittent power steering failure. So far i get a warning of failure on vehicle start up and its very obviously a problem as the steering wheel is extremely difficult to move. The trouble code is not one that is saved, so diagnostics are problematic. I myself have not had a failure on the road, but i know its happened. FCA is aware of this potentially very dangerous problem and issued a recall VB9 but excluded a great number of vehicles. I cannot trust this truck any longer and hope To get the recall expanded. It should not be difficult to imagine the potential for catastrophe here.

While driving on the highway my air suspension fails dropping my front end all the way to the frame stops causing speed wobble and an almost loss of control. After replacing a fuse dude to the compressor failing The very next day the right rear dropped while driving causing unsafe driving conditions. This is the third time in 6mo that this has happened with my truck. My truck is welcome to be inspected anytime. My safety, my kid’s safety, and other on the road are in danger if this happens and I lose control. There was no warning besides a service air suspension immediately notification on my dash as it was happening. There are thousands of reports of this being an issue in 2014-2019 ram trucks with air suspension. The dealer and manufacturer have been no help and I’ve been told by the dealer even after fixing it it will fail again in cold weather. This needs to be addressed NOW this is crazy this has not been corrected by Dodge.

When accelerating, gas pedal is sticking to the floor, and continues to accelerate on its own, at high rate of speed

I have a loud ticking noise doing startup which appears to be coming from the engine compartment. Upon further investigation, there are several owners that's having the same problem which they call the hemi tick. This should be investigated as a defect with the 5.7L engine and recalled. My vehicle was purchased new.

Driving 75 on a regular highway and all of a sudden loud clunk and loss of ability to drive and almost caused truck to run into a ditch. Complete fracture of bracket on top of Axel Assembly causing CV Axel to completely come undone and damage to the front end.

The ac/heating system is stuck on the cabin air setting. I have no defrost ability. When the defrost button is activated the air continues to flow into the cabin and not towards the windshield. I live in Colorado with harsh winters. Not being able to defrost my windshield during the winter time is a huge safety issue if my window fogs up while driving and I cannot clear it. Also if there is condensation that freezes on the outside of my windshield I have no ability to melt it while driving. Huge safety issue. My local mechanic said this is a blendoor/actuator problem and will require a service of approximately 1,000$. There was and is currently no warning signal about the problem.

Fuel Gauge sending unit in fuel tank has failed. No idea of how much fuel is in the fuel tank. 60k miles on the vehicle. Do not want to run out of fuel on an interstate or major highway and cause a possible collision.

Driving on down the roadway and went over a small pothole at approximately 35mph. Heard a loud bang underneath the vehicle. After parking the vehicle, I saw the front of the fuel tank was hanging close to the roadway. I found that the fuel tank strap had pulled out from the frame where it was seated. I researched the issue and saw a recall for 2009-2012 Dodge Ram pickups for the same reason (Safety Recall U04 / NHTSA 18V-160 Frame Bracket). It does not seem Ram/Dodge addressed this issue on the 2014 Dodge Ram. If I had not stopped my full 32 gallon fuel tank would have contacted the ground spilling fuel and possibly catching fire. This is very concerning consider this vehicle is a daily driver for me and my family (wife and four children). I believe this is an issue that also needs to be recalled considering it was done for the 2012 Rams already.

Extreme vibration coming from the passenger right side. The half shaft for the 4 wheel drive is loose on the shaft from the differential. The only way to repair this is to take your differential apart, replace the inner shafts and replace the cv shaft / half shaft. Vehicle can not be driven from 65-80 miles an hour comfortably. This is such a common issue that some companies have come up with design solutions, however the repair is temporary at best as it will happen again since there is no way to prevent dirt from getting in between the shaft of the differential and the cv shaft

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel) 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 contact stated that while driving approximately 5 MPH, the vehicle stalled. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel). The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 165,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

For numerous years my 2014 Ram 1500 Laramie with 4 wheel air suspension has been failing. 1: When it fails it mostly drops the complete left side and the steering wheel is off center to the right approximately a 1/4 turn and alters the steering behavior pulling the truck to the right while driving. This alters the alignment of the truck. 2: The truck also at times drops all of the air out of the system and the truck is riding on its jounce bumpers / suspension stops making it very dangerous to drive. When operating on the roadways with bumps or pulling into parking lots the read of the truck can launch into the air and a hard jarring is felt throughout the truck, and is dangerous to drive on slippery surfaces such as snow/ice covered roadways when the system fails. The problem has been confirmed by the dealer numerous times and Stellantis ( FCA ) has previously sent a representative up only to suggest a new compressor ( Its had 3 now ) which was replaced in the last few months and now the system has failed again. Vehicle has been inspected by a stellantis service service representitive in the early summer of 2022. It displays " Immediate Air Suspension Service/Repair Required " I have taken photos almost every time showing mileage of when the incidents happen. This issue is a North American safety issue with quite a few failures between the USA and Canada. So much so that the Canadian owners have started a class action lawsuit. Napoli Shkolnik Canada are the lawyers filing the class suit. It should be noted that Jeep Grand Cherokee's are also having the same issues.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, there was a ticking noise coming from the engine compartment. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the camshaft needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact referenced the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V475000 (Engine and Engine Cooling); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.

Front has gas strap pulled away from rusted mount portion on frame leading to a lowering of the fuel tank leading to safety hazard of fuel tank no longer being sufficiently secured to the frame of the truck. Faulty mount of strap to frame caused this issue during normal driving conditions.. was informed of recall for issue on ram trucks up to 2012. My year (2014) does not appear to be included.

Exhaust manifold bolts have broken causing a ticking sound upon cold start. This is the passenger side. Same thing happened on drivers side a few years ago. This is a well known problem with Ram Hemi engines and should be considered a manufacturer defect and repaired free of cost

There has been an active recall on my vehicle for over 6 years and there still isn't a repair available. I am stuck driving a car that at any moment could be subject to a crash. I have two small children, and while I know recalls happen, not engineering a fix in over 6 years, is ridiculous. Please help

No warning can not steer confirm Patterson of Bowie tx part can be inspected when defective part was removed it had" old" painted on it previouslyin reverse when incident occured new parts out of stock

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated while pulling out a parking space with the driver’s side door opened, the vehicle would not accelerate as needed. The contact was concerned that the transmission had seized without warning. The contact closed the door, turned off and restarted the vehicle, and the vehicle operated as needed. On another occasion while reversing into his driveway, he opened the driver’s side door to prevent the vehicle from driving over the sidewalk and the transmission seized and would not go forward or reverse. The dealer was contacted and notified of the failure. The contact was informed that the issue might be related to a possible safety feature the vehicle was equipped with. The manufacturer was not contacted or notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

INTERSECTION,I PROCEEDED TO TURN LEFT, THE WHEEL TURNED TO THE RIGHT AND LOCKED i STRUIGGLED TO CONTROLD THE VEHICLE, DESPERATELY TRYING NOT TO HIT A MAN CROSSING THE STREET IN A WHEELCHAIR. i LOST CONTROL, JUMPED A CURVE AND HIT A LIGHT POLE. MY FACE HIT THE STEERING WHEEL. FOUR OF MY TEETH WERE KNOCKED LOOSE. IHAD TO HAVE THEM PULL DUE TO AN INFECTION. MY HEAD AND NECK WAS JERKED AROUND TWICE. I WAS IN SHOCK & TERRIFIED I DROVE HOME CALLED MY SON, HE IMMEDIATELY CAME TO DRIVE THE TRUCK TO MY HOME, I MANAGED. MY DENTIST PULLED THREE TEETH AND THEN ONE MORE BECAUSE THEY BECAME INFECTED. THIS STEERING PROBLEM WAS NOT NORMAL., NO FLUID LOSS, N0 WARNING. MY TRUCK HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP 4-6 WEEKS PRIOR A COMPLETE DIAGNOSIS WAS CONDUCTED. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE, HAD I TURN TO THE RIGHT I WOULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY. INSTEAD OF GOING HOME THAT NIGHT i WAS GOING TO SEE MY 6 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER. MY INSURANCE COMPANY TOLD ME TO PLACE IN THE SHIOP. AFTER THE REPAIRS THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE $5,000 REPAIR BECAUSE THEY DISCOVERED IT WAS A WEAR AND TEAR. THIS IS FALSE. I CALLED FCA they informed me that my warranty was out. I telephoned them several times to inform them this was not a warranty issue. The same issue for the recall, reoccurred. it wasn't unit I informed them of my injury, then they informed me they would send someone to investigate. They sent their Engineering Analysis associates/Bosch Automotive Services Solutions to exam the repaired vehicle. It was at that point they read the report from Lithia Dodge Ram, the dealer my deceased husband purchased this death trap and examined it, but they could not find no evidence of a manufacturing issue, no evidence of power steering, electrical nor the throttle. Well, this is a problem because my invoice I was given and I was advised the report code stated it was electrical steering rack, a manufacturer problem THOUSANDS COMPLAINED. #ACCOUNTABILITY!

The powertrain system wore out after only 68,000 miles on the vehicle. This could have caused the axles to lock up going down the road. The dealer is now replacing the powertrain at a cost of $4000 to us. The powertrain on this vehicle was recalled twice and repaired supposedly.

This is the second time I've reported still no recall. These 5.7 are dangerous, with virtually no miles on them, the camshafts can have a lobe warn down, from oiling issued and the faulty MDS systems in these trucks. Mine stalled in the middle of a intersection with my wife and kids, these engines are unsafe and need to seriously be reevaluated. Also the timing chain guides prematurely wear out, causing excess play in the chain and can jump time and severely loose power or even stall out completely. Recall these engines, or I will make it public via YouTube, and facebook.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle was jerking and he noticed a sudden drop in the gas mileage. No warning lights were illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated that he heard an abnormal ticking sound coming from the engine compartment. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who informed the contact that the abnormal ticking sound could be associated with the exhaust manifold failure. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the failure as an engine cylinder misfire. The independent mechanic informed the contact that the engine would need to be dismantled in order to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with NHTSA. The approximate failure mileage was 115,000.

Electric steering goes out without warning. Could start working at any time later. Definitely a hazard to drive. Took it in for repair and of course it was working and had no code.

Dash digital display screen completely black and not working. The truck was driving fine the day we noticed the screen being black but could not determine speed or anything else. Now the truck will not start.

Steering in the truck has been getting more and more difficult (like I'm losing power steering). No visual defects visible but upon further online research, there have been numerous cases of this, resulting in steering lock-up, potentially causing an accident.

Fuel tank strap (rear) rusted and fell off causing the gas tank to hang down dangerously close to the road. The bracket that holds the "T" end of the strap rusted through and the strap fell out. *THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE FOR 08-12 MODELS* I previously owned a 2012 model and had this taken care of under the recall. The 2014 model looks no different to me, but there is no recall issued for it.

in my case it's the hemi tick i took my truck to the dealer they said that i didn't have the tick now but the tech told me if I wanted to replace the lifter and cam it would cost me 6,000.00. The problem is that the oil pump doesn't pump oil into the lifter when idling it's a faulty oil pump and Chrysler isn't taken responsibility. I think it's models from 2013 to 2019 it should be a recall on those models for the oil pump and damage that it causes

^ months ago my truck would not start and the doors would not unlock using the keyfob. Had it towed to the dealer and they said it was the module for the key system not communicating. after 2 months they finally installed a new module. Took the truck home and it stalled on me 3 time at 70mph and the interstate. Took back to the dealer and they contacted Ram engineers and they told them it was a broken wire . Finally got the truck but would not start the next day. I have researched and found that the TIPMs were going to be recalled but it was denied. Yesterday 9/16/22 I was told the truck was ready and when I went to pick it up it wouldnt start. Is there going to be a recall on the TIPMs?

Power steering went out while driving. EPS module needs to be replaced

I was driving my truck, on a highway, with 4 kids in it when I heard a horrible grinding noise. I stopped and looked under the truck and found that the fuel tank was hanging by 1 strap. I would imagine that if I drove further or hit a bump, the truck would've exploded. The bracket that holds the strap was completely rusted so the strap let go. I did some research online and found that this is a common problem with these trucks. How can there not be a recall??? Luckily I had some racket straps and I crawled under the truck, on the highway, jacked up the tank and strapped it in. I was horrified. I keep my truck in almost pristine condition and with my research, I found out that there were no drain holes installed on the strap mounts which would cause them to prematurely rust. This must be fixed immediately to prevent fatalities.

Electronic power steering gear went out. Verified at Ram dealership. This did not happen while driving down the road thank God. In driveway so no injuries caused from incident. This over $3,000 Repair should be covered under recall VB9/ NHTSA 19E-077????? Have dealership invoice for paid in full proof.

My 2014 ram 1500 went to the dealership for recalls and a wheel alignment, ecm failed to recognize new software updat and will not start, new chrysler ecm installed and truck still wont accept new software so will not start. Previous experience of a bad tipm insisted on various lights coming on tachometer display, cruise control shutting off at various speeds, engine shutting down and turning off on highway at cruising or passing speeds, had new integrated tipm installed and new Altenator, resoled issues.

I filed a complaint on 7/4/2022, complaint number 11472254. Since then, I have done some research and found out that there have been MANY FAILURES OF THE ABS MODUALS on RAM trucks. I have attempted to buy a new one, but there are none. I called dealerships around the United States, and many have some in stock but can't sell them (won't sell them). And if I try and order from a local dealership, the part has a 6-month lead time. I have asked why the has not been a recall and I have been told it's not a safety issue and that traction control is a nice to have option. While looking at a new dodge Ram, I noticed that traction control and antilock brakes are listed under SAFETY (please see attached). If this is a SAFETY issue, why hasn't there been a RECALL issued?

When driving the Power Steering Failure warning comes on and you have to fight the wheel to steer the truck. Sometimes you can turn the vehicle off and then start it again and the warning will go off and steering is back to normal. Unpredictable as to when it is going to happen. Happened 4 times and ended up having it towed to the dealership for diagnostics. I called FCA on 8-18-2022 and they said there was a recall on 2013-2019 Ram 1500 trucks (Recall VB9) but that my vehicle was not identified as being a part of that recall. Luckily I was able to stop vehicle before an accident happened and before anyone was hurt.

Electronic Power Steering Failure My wife was driving on 70 miles per hour on the interstate when all of a sudden the red EPS light came on the dash and caused her to struggle to drive and run off the road. An automotive mechanic confirmed the EPS system needs to be replaced.

While driving on the interstate, towing a 17' ultralight camping trailer, the vehicle made a very loud "BANG" noise from under the hood and immediately decelerated to a much lower speed (~20MPH). I was able to maintain control and guide the truck to the shoulder as traffic was light. Upon opening the hood the large turbo inter-cooler hose had separated the black rubber section from the steel coupling in the front-drivers side area of the engine. The hose clamps had apparently failed. Upon reconnecting the hose to the coupling with the clamps I attempted to restart the engine and proceed. The engine started, but had a check-engine indicator. As soon as I put the truck into gear and tried to accelerate the bang noise happened again and the hose disconnected. I called a tow truck and was towed to the nearest town with a Ram dealer (30+ miles). The dealer was able to diagnose and verify the issue and also locate and replace the entire turbo inter-cooler hose and reset the check-engine indicator resolving the "limp-mode" state. The Ram service center kept the old part but provided a detailed invoice representing the failure. If the interstate was busier (it was Sunday afternoon) the situation could have been very much worse as the deceleration was immediate and other cars could have collided with the slowing truck.

The 3.6-liter V6 24-valve VVT engine which is defective and is a safety hazard. First pinging then the truck stalls out in traffic. Dodge does not stand behind the Lifetime limited Powertrain warranty they sold me when I bought the truck because the dealer, I bought it from closed. Dodge knowing these engines are defective put us customers in life threating situations because of the faulty components in these engines. They put the cost on the customers to fix the faulty rockers and lifters, valves, camshafts. So, I paid $3,400.00 to have it fixed with them installing new defective parts that will fail again and put my life in danger when the truck just stalls out.

It has the 5.7 hemi, well it's always had a hemi tick, well one day I tried accelerating threw an intersection where it stumbled and died, another car almost hit but luckily he was able to stop. Come to find out the lifter has eating my cam lobe to the point where it's missing on one cylinder. I've did some research and it seems like a very common saftey problem, that seriously needs to be addressed, along with the exaughst manifold bolts that breaks, and can cause a fire do to the exaughst leak.

Thursday, July 21, 2022 11:46 AM The foam that is minimally-glued into the headrest popped off of the shell after a couple months of use. We were able to hold it in place with the fabric cover for several months. Then, the foam began slipping and ultimately cracked in half. We were unable to keep it in place after that. We have photos of the damage. The seat has been destroyed per the request of the manufacturer. Once the headrest is raised above the level of the outer seat shell, any amount of pressure or holding onto the headrest causes it to bend and flex. I believe this allowed the headrest foam to pop off. Without the foam in the correct location, there is not appropriate padding for the child's head in an accident. A report was made to Chicco. Though outside of the warranty period, Chicco replaced the seat.

The contact's daughter owns a 2014 Dodge Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving at 55 MPH with her children sitting in the front passenger and rear passenger seats, the vehicle in front of her stopped inadvertently. The contact's daughter depressed the brake pedal and attempted to quickly veer to the side of the road to prevent her vehicle from crashing into the vehicle in front of her. However, the steering wheel locked and the vehicle crashed into the rear end of the vehicle in front of her. The air bags failed to deploy. The message "Malfunctioning Steering" was displayed. The bumper and front grill of the vehicle detached. The contact's daughter sustained bruises and soreness all over the body. The contact was unsure whether his grandchildren sustained injuries. The passenger of the other vehicle did not sustain injuries. A police report was filed. The contact's daughter was taken to the hospital with the assistance of emergency units. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard. The vehicle was then towed to the contact's residence. An unknown Dodge dealer was notified of the vehicle but provided no assistance. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The contact was awaiting a call back from the manufacturer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000. The VIN was not available.

The contact called on behalf of his wife who owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated while his wife was driving approximately 15 MPH, the vehicle hesitated and stalled. The contact stated that several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact was unable to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The dealer diagnosed a failure with the fuel system. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel). The approximate failure mileage was 140,000.

My ABS Module light came on, along with my traction control and emergency brake light and my cruise stopped working. I took it to the dealer and they said it was an ABS Module, but it would be six months before I could get one. There are no ABS Modules available, evey dealer I have called has some but they can't sell them. My question is, why are there none available. The dealers say they are a known problem and with losing traction control it seems to be a safety problem, yet there is no recall on them. My truck is drivable, but not safely without traction control. Can someone look into this?

Gas tank strap broke

Fuel sensor failure - fuel gauge no longer operational and check engine light on.

The contact's husband owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that the fuel level warning light would intermittently illuminate on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to a dealer however, the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic where the mechanic informed her that the fuel tank strap had rusted and needed to be replaced. While driving 25 MPH, the fuel gauge “sensor off” message was displayed on the instrument panel and the fuel gauge began fluctuating from Empty to Full. The independent mechanic informed her that there was an unstated recall on the vehicle and referred her to a dealer. The dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure and both informed her that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 MPH and hauling a 30-foot-long travel trailer, the power steering malfunctioned, causing the steering wheel to become difficult to turn in either direction. During the failure, the service power steering message was displayed. The driver was able to maneuver the vehicle to the shoulder and stopped the vehicle. After turning off and restarting the vehicle, the vehicle operated as normal. However, five days later the failure recurred as a permanent failure. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who diagnosed that the electronic power steering gear and rack and pinion had failed 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 47,000.

On May 16th 2022 I was driving my truck when the ABS LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT , EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT came on and my cruise control stopped working. I put a code reader on it and it gave me 220049, ABS system. To narrow it down to a component I had to take it tp a Dodge service. For $138 they told me it was an ABS Module internl failure. They said they could get me one for $1200, but it would take 6 months. Back logged due to covid. I came back home and tried to find one, no luck nobody had any available. So i found a company in GA that repairs them. I sent it in and had it repaired for under $300. When I got it back I installed it and it worked for less than a month. I started doing some research, looks like the reason there are no ABS Modules available is because everyone is having problems with the ABS Modules and it started well before covid. My truck only has 62,000 miles.on it as well as a lot of other trucks having problems. I know the brakes will continue to work if the ABS Module goes out but you lose traction control. If this is such an issue? Dodge should own up to the problem and send out a recall and fix then known problem

The rack and pinion which is electronic failed and caused me to crash because it could not steer. There are 1500 plus other vehicles waiting for the same part. Which you can't get a new one because they are on back order. But with that many vehicles waiting for the same part it should be a recall on them.

The contact owns a 2014 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 an undisclosed speed, the vehicle made abnormally loud noises and then stalled. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced due to fractured rods. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 71,735. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Fuel sensor failure at around 100,000 miles. A quick search reveals this is an extremely common issue and even more upsetting is seeing how many people experience recurrent failures within a year of replacing. This is a major safety issue if my vehicle randomly runs out of gas on a busy highway, which is far more likely considering the sensor failure will not allow the engine to enter ECO mode. My other issue is the hemi tick which could either be the exhaust bolts or the cam going out. Why haven't these issues been recalled?

Power Steering went out.

I was driving down the highway and when I went to accelerate I heard a loud "clunk" like my transmission dropped. After the loud clunk an indicator came across my dashboard stating "service electronic throttle control". I pulled off to the side of the highway shut my vehicle off and tried to restart it just to make sure it wasn't a glitch. Upon starting the vehicle again, there was a very long delay considered to be a hard start. Since the vehicle started I decided to try to merge back onto the highway but as I was trying to accelerate the vehicles rpm would not go past 3000 rpms and would not accelerate past 40 mph. I shut the vehicle off and had it towed home. I took the vehicle to the dealership around the corner from my home and they scanned it. The code that popped up was P0336 (crankshaft position sensor). Upon further investigation the dealer diagnosed the problem to be the Tone Wheel/Reluctor ring breaking. FCA has an open recall for this exact issue W58/W68, but my vehicle is not included because it was built for the Canadian market. Although, my vehicle is a DS model with the sales code EXF.

2014 RAM ECO DIESEL. THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILED ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE PASSING A SEMI TRUCK. THIS FAILURE SENT METAL THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM TO INCLUDE; INJECTORS, FUEL LINES, FUEL RETURN LINES, FUEL RAIL, AND FUEL TANK. THE TRUCK IMMEDIATELY WENT INTO LIMP MODE, THEN A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AND FINALLY A LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT. NO OTHER WARNINGS OR SYMPTOMS APPEARED PRIOR TO FAILURE. I PULLED ON THE INTERSTATE IMMEDIATELY AS THE TRUCK HAD NO POWER. ALL OF THIS HAPPENED WITHIN 30 SECONDS OR SO. I WAS FORCED TO QUICKLY MOVE TO THE SHOULDER AND MOVE OUT OF THE TRUCKS WAY AS MY VEHICLE WAS EMITTING SIGNIFICANT WHITE SMOKE OUT OF THE EXHAUST. THE ISSUE IS CONFIRMED WITH A RAM DEALER IN BOZEMAN MT. AWAITING PARTS THAT ARE CURRENTLY ON BACK ORDER. BEEN 2 MONTHS ALREADY

Recall VB9/NHTSA 19E-077. Recall is similar to problems with my 2014 Dodge Ram pickup with regard to the electric power steering module over heating code C2210 - And C2217. Causing the electric power steering to fail. Models 1500 Dodge Ram 2013-2019 Are included in the recall. my electronic power steering has been built with a contaminated circuit card assembly also but doesn’t show on my particular Vin number. An has yet to be added to the recall list. After a diagnostic from the dealership at dodge they found the issue to be identified as identical to open recall noted above. Vehicle was in for diagnostic today at the dealership.

I HAVE A 2014 DODGE RAM 1500 94000 MILES GAS TANK FELL AND THE HANGER WAS RUBBING AGAINST THE DRIVESHAFT WHICH WAS MAKE A NOISE SO I INVESTIGATED IT WHEN I GOT HOME FROM WORK I HAVE THE SAME ISSUES AS THIS RECALL Part 573 Safety Recall Report 18V-160 :The fuel tank is held in place by a front strap and a rear strap. The front fuel tank strap frame “T -Slot” bracket may corrode permitting the front fuel tank strap to detach. With the front fuel tank strap detached, the fuel tank is primarily secured by the rear strap, however, the front of the fuel tank may be allowed to lower several inches.Description of the Safety Risk : Based upon FCA US’ investigation of this issue, and review of the available information, data, and analysis, and considering approximately nine years of field experience, as well as the audible notice provided to the operator to detect when this condition is present, FCA US has determined that the detachment of the front fuel tank strap in the subject vehicles could potentially allow the front of the fuel tank to make contact with the ground, increasing the risk of a fuel leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? my suspension and also my engine are the first problems that i have noticed while driving this vehicle. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? When I drive I am scared to go even the speed limit of 30mph because my suspension makes my car bump aggressively and also there is a loud ticking noise I notice under the hood I have looked up reviews of this vehicle and seen that others have similar complaints for the dodge ram 2014 1500. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center?] I took it into palmens dodge dealership and they didn't want to diagnose the vehicle unless the took the engine apart though they said it was better off replacing just by hearing the noise. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Not as far as I'm aware Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? the problem started towards the beginning of the new year

Service Power Steering warning came on and there was no ability to move the wheel without a great deal of effort. I needed to make an appointment and couldn't even get out of the driveway due to the lack of power steering and turn radius. Major issue for us as the truck is rendered useless during cooler days up to 80 degrees F. This is a vehicle that I do not feel safe in, let alone put our infant in a "very safe vehicle" to drop off or pick up from daycare where the steering wheel feels locked up.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. While driving approximately at 70 MPH, the contact stated that following a highway turn to the right the steering wheel felt loose. The contact used the steering wheel lever downward and felt that the steering wheel was still loose. The contact used the steering wheel adjusting lever again to lift the steering wheel back up when the entire steering came off in the contact's hands. The contact stated he did not notice any warning lights being illuminated. The contact advised that the vehicle crossed two lanes of traffic barely avoiding a collision. The contact stated that he was able to safely stop the vehicle before crashing into the highway barrier wall on the left. The contact said he felt great fear and suffered a panic attack due to the failure. Medical attention was not sought and he was able to reattach the steering wheel back onto the column. The contact stated he drove the vehicle to his residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

Vehicle engine stopped suddenly on highway while traveling 50mph. Dash message was about service electronic throttle system. Vehicle coasted to a stop without power steering or brakes. Vehicle would not restart and was taken via Wrecker service to the dealership. Tone Ring failed along with crankshaft position sensor. There are two recalls (W58 and W68) dealing with this issue for other VIN numbers in the 2014 model year. Chrysler is not acknowledging that this issue also applies to my vehicle and isn't covering the tone ring under the recall or warranty. This should be investigated as a broader application of the W58 and W68 recall.

EPS went out at 115,000. Dodge is not making the part so it's impossible to get fixed. Also as I did research I noticed many complaint that EPS went out on others with much lower mileage, yet out of warranty, and there is no recall. Apparently there is or 2015 and 2016 for the same issue

Good morning, I am a user and owner of a RAM 1500 year 2014 and with 90,000 km I have had the problem for the second time that the screws that hold the exhaust manifolds are cut, causing fire to come out of the engine compartment, which can cause the vehicle to catch fire, this It is a typical problem in these HEMI engines, so I was talking with other owners of RAM 1500, they should make a solution to this problem since several people including are thinking of selling the unit and looking for other brands. From now cordial greetings [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The instrument cluster keeps going black.

These trucks have a known issue of rust causing failure of parking brakes to release. There are hundreds of complaints on forums, and dozens of youtube videos discussing this issue, and trying to provide repairs. One major issue is the rear axel hub is part of the problem, as this is where rust accumulates, and prevents the release of the parking brake, because the build up of rust causes the parking brake levers to seize. Chrysler does not offer the part that is affected, the entire axel would have to be replaced. This is an absurd design, that is prone to failure in any rust prone areas, and is aggravated because of further design flaws that don't allow for simple repair. It's easy to see the issue, when the parking brake is released, the parking brake cable hangs loosely under the truck, easily visible. When the brakes can't be released the parking brake shoes stay in contact with the drum, causing heat and eventually the friction material will completely separate from the shoes, which could cause the wheel to seize and not be able to rotate. I bought my truck used, and it came to me this way, which is another issue as the dealer should have repaired any safety defects.

Suspension is air ride and is defected. It stops working and makes the truck bounce with any disturbance/bump on the road. Truck sways from side to side. Have had to replace the front axles/joints and the front end alignment. The mechanic stated that something was welded (that shouldn't have been) probably was caused because of the suspension. Every now and again the warning message "service suspension" comes on but not every time it happens. I haven't had the money to have it inspected because I put a lot down on the vehicle and to have the front end repaired. Our insurance wouldn't cover the claim.

when I pulled to release my emergency brakes the pull to release handle broke. Had a really hard time trying to release brake. brake can still be set, but no release. was plastic that broke.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving approximately 20 MPH the vehicle inadvertently shifted into neutral. The service light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 125,000.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 2 MPH and coming to a stop at a traffic sign, he heard a loud scraping noise coming from the rear of the vehicle. The contact pulled over and observed that the fuel tank was sagging and a support strap was detached. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the supports where the fuel tank straps were attached had rusted completely and the fuel tank had become loosened. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle stalled in the middle of the highway. There were several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact was able to veer to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer who diagnosed that the crankshaft position sensor was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 117,770.

Air suspension system fails intermittently. If it fails while driving, the vehicle has virtually no suspension and is unsafe to handle. It has failed at highway speeds, and rapidly deflated. When hitting bumps or anything in the road that is normally easily traversed, the vehicle will bounce and or skid, sometimes uncontrollably. The vehicle has been at the dealer multiple times for this issue, and it has not been solved. Dealer claims they can't find a problem due to their diagnostics not showing a fault, but the vehicle has failed right in front of the service manager! Currently they have had the vehicle for going on three (3) weeks, and the failure has not been fixed. When the system fails, there are multiple alerts present in the vehicle information center on the dash, but sometimes these do not appear until sometime AFTER the failure, and at highway speeds this does not help. My truck is absolutely available for inspection. A quick internet search reveals this is a very common issue, well known to Chrysler. Dealers do not know how to fix it, and refuse to replace parts unless they test as failed, which these generally do not. This is a dangerous situation, and it is known. Something should be done about it.

Vehicles air suspension freezes in colder weather causing the suspension to lock up. Just purchased this vehicle in August (warm weather) first time it happen was the first below 35° weather and almost bounced us off the road on the highway. Many complaints about this on line for 4th generation 1500's. We talked to dodge and they gaslighted the issue and told me is a recall comes up they will reimburse any issues caused by this. They CAN NOT reimburse a life if it bounces us off the road and causes a accident!! It's already caused another issue with either the cv boot or axel which were taking it tomorrow to be looked at. This is EXTREMELY unsafe and could definitely cause a accident!!!!

Electronic Power Steering Module causing intermittent power steering loss. Making it difficult to steer.

2014 RAM 1500. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING STEERING COLUMN CONTROL MODULE (SCCM).

Fuel Tank Hanger Broke. The fuel tank was hanging. Repair person confirmed the frame had rotted, and the mounting bracket was not good. Fuel tank needed to be removed and the new bracket was installed and the fuel tank reinstalled. Safety was at risk - fire/explosion hazard. Contacted the Dodge dealer and was unable to secure an appointment for two weeks . This was unacceptable. First noticed problem on 03/03/22. Repair taken place on 03/07/22. Located a recall for this exact problem on 2009-2012 Dodge Ram 1500 trucks - my exact model. My truck is a 2014 with only 103360 miles. This issue on new models of the Dodge Ram 1500 after 2012 should be investigated and repairs should be reimbursed to truck owners who have been forced to make repairs - especially when the dealer could not accommodate with an appointment.

The contact's husband owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving at 35 MPH, a loud thumping noise and vibration was coming from the front passenger’s side wheel well. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with needing the front differential, Part Number: (68257421AG) to be replaced; however, the mechanic stated that the part was on national backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 207,000.

When the truck is started the service shifter light comes on and will not let you shift the truck out of park. Then when driving down the road the light will come on and the truck will automatically shift in park and you can’t do anything but coast of the road to stop. It’s extremely hard to turn the steering to get off the road. This was fixed once at a dodge dealership and they said it was fixed and clearly it is not. This has happened to many trucks. I feel this need attention and fixed for the safety of others.

The bracket for the gas tank was rusted and fell off while I was driving home last night. The front of the gas tank dropped down about 6”. I am still waiting to hear from the dealer to see if it is covered because I know there were safety issues with other years with Ram trucks. Then I will have to get it towed there and repaired.

Fuel Sensor Failure, sporadic. Causes check engine light to illuminate which causes vehicle to not perform optimally and runs in alternate mode - not eco. Also sporadic complete failure of fuel gauge displaying no fuel. Has become more frequent over time. Common problem with many Ram trucks

While in the process of unhitching my camping trailer, I put the truck in reverse to gently center the tow ball under the hitch when the vehicle suddenly accelerated at high RPMs and lurched backward. I braked but the engine continued racing at high speed. Braking was completely ineffective as the tires continued "burning rubber" on the pavement. My wife was helping me guide the vehicle when this occurred. The only thing that prevented an accident and serious injury to my wife and me was the trailer. The trailer's wheels were still chocked, but the sudden, forceful acceleration dislodged the jack stand and pushed the trailer back approximately 4 to 5 inches. The acceleration stopped on its own after approximately 30 seconds. This was a terrifying experience that had the potential for a tragic outcome. This problem has not been yet been diagnosed by a dealer or service center, as it just occurred a few hours ago. There were no warning lamps or any other symptoms preceding it.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, a grinding and rubbing sound was present coming from the rear of the vehicle. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was unknown.

The contact's husband owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that the passenger’s side front seat belt failed to latch. Additionally, the driver’s side seat belt also failed to latch as needed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer to be serviced for an unknown recall repair and the dealer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

Fuel level sensor failure at 67,000 miles. Known issue with RAM and yet they will not cover under warranty or recall. Driving in stop and go traffic only to watch my fuel gauge unexpectedly go down to empty not knowing why. Had to get towed to shop because did not know what was going on. Shop said was fuel gauge sensor and cost me over $900 to replace plus anxiety being towed in rush hour traffic.

The front strap that holds the fuel tank broke free from the bracket that secures it. The gas tank dropped down and could have fallen off. After inspection the bracket was found to be rusted to the point that it could no longer hold the "T" end of the gas tank strap. Once one side of the strap broke free the hanging strap was grinding against the drive shaft. That was the only sign that there was a problem. This would certainly be an ignition source. There was a recall for this same problem, but it only included Ram pickups to 2011.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V757000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) and 20V475000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) however, the parts to do the recall repairs were not yet available. An appointment was scheduled for April 2021 however, the dealer later confirmed that parts were not available. Several other attempts were made to schedule the recall repair however, parts were still not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

Driving when the power steering quit working. Extremely hard to steer , luckily I was in a low traffic area. Could have been catastrophic. A warning lamp that looked like a steering wheel and exclamation point appeared after the fact. Very dangerous and a hazard

TAILGATE OPENS WHILE DRIVING THEN WILL NOT LATCH SHUT

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, the vehicle started drifting to the right into the opposite lane. The contact manually steered the vehicle to keep the vehicle centered in the lane. The contact pulled over and inspected the vehicle but found no failure with the vehicle. The vehicle was restarted and driven to the residence. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic however, the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

I believe the fuel sensor problem I am having is a design failure by RAM and should be resolved due to a recall as a potential safety hazard. My fuel sensor fails which in turn, drops my fuel gauge to empty. Thus, I cannot tell how much fuel is left in the tank. This also engages the check engine light which does not allow the engine to go into ECO mode. There are at least two issues in play here. The first, as previously mentioned, I have not idea how much gas I have left. Since I drive on the highway to work every week day, this is a huge safety issue as I could run out of gas on the middle of the highway. This is not only a danger to myself, but other motorists as well. The second issue being the disengaging of ECO mode. This leads to higher gas consumption, thus lower gas mileage which would refute the state gas mileage that RAM claims for the truck. This leads to burning more gas, which leads to an empty tank (see above for safety reasons of an empty gas tank). I have searched online and there are hundreds of other people experiencing the same problem. If you want to prevent the deaths of hundreds of people, you will issue a recall. Your decision on this directly affects the lives of hundreds, if not thousands, of motorists and I look forward to hearing your decision on this.

Fuel will not go in tank and splashes back. Fuel pump continues to shut off and cannot safely fill gas tank.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact noticed that the vehicle was sitting on the frame. The contact stated that whenever the weather was cold while driving, the vehicle would bounce while the air suspension defect warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the air compressor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired, and the failure would recur whenever the weather was cold. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

VEHICLE HAS BEEN UNDER MULTIPLE RECALL REPAIRS. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALER FOR ANOTHER RECALL. WHEN THEY WERE DOING THEIR ROAD TEST, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. WE SPENT $13,000 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. WHEN I WAS DISCUSSING THE ISSUE WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, THEY INFORMED ME THAT RECALL W58 HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN APPLIED TO SIMILAR RAM 1500S AND WOULD HAVE ADDRESSED THE EXACT ISSUE THAT WAS HAPPENING WITH MY VEHICLE. I AM REQUESTING REVIEW TO HAVE THE SAME RECALL ADDED TO VEHICLES THAT ARE SIMILAR TO MINE.

I have a faulty fuel level sensor on my 2014 Ram 1500. I went to my nearest dealer and they informed me that it was a common issue with Ram trucks. It was enough of an issue that they were aware but not enough for Ram to recall. To repair this sensor would cost between $700-$900. Please recall this already. It stinks to gauge how much fuel I have left based on how many miles I drove.

Power steering is intermittent. Works fine in heat and doesn’t work in cold weather until vehicle has been running for at least 30min. After warm up I turn the vehicle off then back on and it works again. Dealership quoted me a total of $3300 to replace the rack and pinion.

Airbag suspension fails when the compressor fails causing a fuse to blow and loose all air ride suspension. The ride leaves you feeling terribly unsafe hoping you can make it home in one piece. Its all over the web about this issue. Canada has a class action lawsuit filed. There are service bulletins but we need a recall with a permanent fix. It costs over 3000 with no guarantees to be fixed if you live in cold weather. internet information...........PLEASE READ............ If the outside temperature dips below freezing, there's a good chance Ram's air suspension will stop working. That's a big deal for people who live in places that have, oh what's it called ... WINTER. When the air suspension stops working, it doesn't fail gracefully. It delegates the task of absorbing bumps and keeping your vehicle safely upright to four deflated rubber bags. And as you might imagine the ride quality sucks. That can also affect steering control and make the entire experience miserable. Owners will stop using their very expensive trucks when it gets too cold outside because the alternative is to feel drunk or queezy after the ride.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that upon approaching a right-hand curve at 35 MPH, the steering wheel locked up as the power steering warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact stated that he was forced to slam on the brakes to avoid oncoming traffic that was approaching. Due to the failure, the contact had a friend tow the vehicle to his home. The contact stated that upon the start of the vehicle, the failure persisted and the steering wheel would not turn as needed. The dealer nor the manufacturer have yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was 107,767.

Airbags did not deploy whatsoever. Truck is totalled so no repairs have been made. Was Towed to our house. It has not been inspected by any dealer, only police on scene. It is available any time for inspection. I also have photos.

Air suspension failed while going 78mph, causing the vehicle to lower. With the vehicle lowered, the slightest bump can cause loss of control. I hit a small rise (present after a bridge) and the vehicle slid sideways. Luckily there were no other vehicles nearby and I was able to pull over to the side of the road (mainly due to the fact that I am a very experienced driver). This issue is known by Dodge and a simple Google search shows thousands of complaints about it. These issue could have eaisly caused an accident, injury or death.

The Uconnect system!!! The Uconnect system crashed after Ram sent a over-the-air update which had a glitch in it. The whole stereo system which includes, Air Conditioning Heating, defrost ,vent direction and temperature adjustment . If you have the app it can control remote start locking and unlocking of your doors. I have taken vehicle down to the dealership they have confirmed that it was over the air update that has caused the system to crash. So driving down the road I cannot change to defrost once my window gets fogged up. Whatever position it would be stuck in when the system crashes is the position it will be in until new system is installed or fixed. My other concern is I went to sleep one night and I wake up the next day to have my truck randomly lock itself with my keys in it. It is a key fob system so my truck will not allow me to lock the keys in the vehicle. I am concerned since it just randomly did it for no reason what if there is an emergency and I have to exit the vehicle quickly or have a child or dog in the car will it just randomly lock itself again for no reason. There was no warnings,no lamps,no signs at all the u connect system just went out.The doors locking all by them selves no warning or signs as well. After speaking with Pop-A-Lock to get my keys out of the truck he says this make year and model is in the top 4 of vehicles that just randomly lock the keys in the vehicle for no reason very concerning as a safety issue.

Another fuel sending unit gone bad. Too many complaints and no recall yet? Happens to all ram trucks

Electric power steering went out while driving, it is very difficult to turn, this causes a increased chance of a accident as it is difficult to maneuver quickly if necessary to avoid an accident.

Fuel sending unit bad at 55,000 miles. This is unacceptable for a unit to go bad at this short of time. Everyone on the internet is complaining about the cost to replace this item and how often that it fails on all the Ram trucks. There should be a recall on this item immediately, as the cost to replace unit is in the 600- 900 dollar range, depending who fixes it. Then they also recommend you replace the hangers at the same time as they are also rotting out. Please do something about this and help the consumer beat this back to the manufacture to do it right!!! Already contacted Ram about this issue and the high cost of repair.

Unable to remove key.

Electronic Power Steering (EPS) went out while driving truck, could not steer truck, had to pull off side of the road while driving. Very dangerous. Turned off truck and restarted been working since. Had the whole family with me in the truck.

The Ram has electric steering. Mine will turn off and on intermittently. When in a curve, it can cause you to have light pressure to high pressure to low pressure on the wheel. Have had two incidences where I could have hit others or went off the road in a curve.

My ecoDiesel engine failed after 134k miles. Does not seem like an issue but the failure rate of this engine is very high - from Boards, from Dealers, emails by FCA. Since they fail at a high rate, it puts lot of broken vehicles on the road and puts the people in the vehicle at more risk for injury. It is a safety issue. They changed oil to fix major bearing failures as evidenced in these emails and Valvoline's letter rebukes it. Their emissions scandal forced them to make the engine do something the engine can not handle. These are time bombs.

ALL AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY DURING MAJOR COLLISION! FAULTY AIRBAGS I was driving in the dark on Tuesday evening 11-16-2021 in the 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 truck. At around 6:00pm I was going through a right hand corner in a mountain area that had free range cattle. Over the mountains heading back home the day turned to night. Coming around a right sweepingcorner going around 45-48 mph out of nowhere the unthinkable happened…. A familiar face suddenly appeared in the dark. A cow, rather a huge bull in the middle of the highway! It all happened so fast… Head on collision My reaction was an evasive maneuver steering wheel crank left. If I had not reacted like stated above, crash should have killed me. This move I believe is what saved my life because it offset the contact more to the passenger side. He hit head on yes but now glanced off to my right which kept the rear of the truck from coming around. His massive weight saved me from rolling… The damage to front and passenger side is major The air bags should have deployed . They did not. My insurance confirmed in claim that the air bags did not deploy I filed with them at the time of the accident. The Deputy Sheriff inspected the vehicle and also noted in the police report that the airbags did not deploy. There were no warning lights that indicated any problems at all.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving at 60 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated, and the fuel gauge showed empty. While pulling over, the fuel gauge regained normal functionality. The contact continued driving to his destination. The contact was concerned that the fuel gauge sensor might need to be replaced. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 95,700.

Heater blender door actuator not allowing defrost to warm the windshield and defrost making visibility impossible. This seems to be an ongoing problem with ram trucks and should be included in a recall fix

When I drive at night or early in the morning when it is still dark out, my headlights turn off fully and I have to pull over for 20 to 30 mins to try and turn them back on

The Air Suspension System on my 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 4 X4 has stalled or has currently frozen and this makes it extremely difficult to steer the vehicle. Even at low speeds 25-45 mph it leaves the pavement when crossing the slightest pavement imperfections. The Highways of Louisiana and Texas are filled with imperfections and it is a horrifying experience to drive this vehicle in this condition. I have taken it to several different respected mechanics, and many are the most recommended and it's always the same. "Dodge needs to have their butts kicked for putting this system in a small truck such as this." They warns me, 'it will only grow worse as the truck gets older.' When driving on the Interstate (I-20) in Louisiana and Texas the truck leaves the ground whenever I pass over a dip, bump or a bridge. This is scary when I am driving along beside an 18 Wheeler. Crossing Railroad Tracks is so distressing and uncomfortable needless to say, It feels like the truck is falling apart. I am afraid for my own safety, but I must drive the 35 miles one way to work five days a week. I have replaced the pump, but now the pump is pumping, but it appears to be something else. The local Dealerships have a reputation of ripping people off, and when I call to inquire or complain I only get a Salesmen who can help by assisting me to trade it in. At this point, with vehicle prices skyrocketing I just this dealership should sale vehicles worth the money they get. Dodge really needs to fix this problem. I have looked on YouTube and noticed this is a very common problem, and in every video the owners are stating how dangerous these vehicles are when the system goes out. It is life threatening to simple drive this vehicle to work in order to make a living to support my family.

Electric power steering gets very stiff when making left or right turns. No warning lights. There was a recall for this problem but my VIN was not included.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that the power steering was working intermittently. There were no warning lights illuminated.

Teenage son driving 75 mph on a bridge when steering suddenly went out causing the truck to swerve into another lane. With much effort he was able to pull steering wheel back into his lane but almost hit another vehicle in the process. Our vin is not included in the recall - this needs to be remedied immediately before someone is seriously hurt or killed. The truck has not been inspected or repaired, it can not be driven safely. There were not warning lamps or messages or symptoms prior.

My 2014 Ram 1500 Express Cab, Black, standards features. 2x4 wheel base. About 9am Oct. 4, 2021. I was at T intersection to turn left with light traffic. I had two red arrow left lane turn. When blindsided by distracted driver in 2014 4 Dr. BMW sedan by striking a center island mount cause the vehicle to jump 4 feet. Struck my driver side quarterpanel to driver door at 50 to 80 mph. Send both across the intersection to opposite curve. I was up right and BMW was laying on dirver side. My curtain and airbag never deployed at all. No fire since inline fuses were cut off power to engine I was pinned in my driver side. Mechanical seats was my savior allowed me to roll seat back so after door was cut off. The airbag was never deploy at all and would protect me from cuts and bruises at distracted driver speeds.

I have broken bolts on my passenger side exhaust manifold. (I find to be a common problem on these trucks) I am worried of Carbon Monoxide getting into the cab of my truck on extended idle time. I can show this problem anytime. Also I can show the same problem on other trucks. There are no warning lights on other than being able to hear the exhaust leak. I have not had this truck at the dealer to look at.

Hydraulic lifters seize up causing the vehicle to lose power. The check engine light comes on with code P0305 meaning the number five cylinder is misfiring this is due to not having enough oil going to the hydraulic lifter. I have mentioned this to the dealership and they said there is no recall on it but they have had a lot of issues and have parts readily available to fix this problem. The safety problem I am having is I do not have enough power to accelerate into traffic or highway entrances

Exhaust manifold leak due to both rear studs breaking on each side of the engine. This is my 3rd dodge ram with the 5.7 liter engine that has had this problem. The other vehicle years were a 2003 Ram 2500 and a 2013 Ram 1500. With as many complaints about this problem, I am surprised there hasn't been a fix and a recall. So far, I am 3 trucks each with the same issue. I would think that two exhaust manifolds leaking in the engine compartment would pose as a safety issue by breathing the fumes sucked into the cab. The dealer repaired this issue thanks to an extended warranty.

WHEN DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED THE POWER STEERING ASSIST SHUT OFF. THE RED LIGHT WITH THE POWER STEERING SYMBOL AND ! CAME ON. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND IT WAS WORKING AGAIN, U TIL I CAME TO A LOW SPEED.

The heater core is clogged and there is no heat on drivers side. No way to defrost windshield impairing visability.

Steering column whining noise problem for the last two years that dealership could not pinpoint, finally blossomed into an extremely dangerous random intermittent loss of power steering at any speed on a truck with only 73000 miles. As with many, many cases related to RAM trucks and their electronic power steering problems that have surfaced, my situation is the same as many who are finding that although a recall has been issued on certain vin numbers and serial numbers pertaining to the rack and pinion and electronic gear associated with some models, that my numbers are not on the list, therefore replacement costs are somewhere in the range of $2800-$3800. It seems unfathomable that the same wide-spread problem can exist with the same exact rack and pinion system on so many trucks, but Chrysler refuses to acknowledge all but a fraction of the vehicles that are currently on the road posing extremely potentially dangerous and fatal outcomes. Recall VB9 needs to be revised as an immediate no-cost replacement of all these faulty steering mechanisms.

Can and lifter failure where the eco mode in the engine shut off certain cylinders and made the lifter mess up the lifter and cam shaft has happened to multiple rams if you call a engine shop they have the same problem with almost every truck and it is at a big cost

Was driving home from church with my children in the truck when the dash lights flashes. It said battery power saver mode and then Service Electronic Power Steering. And then I started to drift towards the ditch. Was able to pull my truck off the road but it could’ve been an accident. I called my husband and he came to look at it. He happened to be at O’Reilley’s when I called him so he picked up some things and came to figure it out. After learning their is no steering fluid and doing some online research he checked the fuses. Put his code reader on it and no codes. Turn the truck back on the light was gone and steering was fine. We decided he would follow me home. Drove 12 miles and had no steering again. My truck has 98,000 miles on it. I’ve already had the rear main seal/ exhaust manifold redone (dealer warranty), entire rear including calipers, brakes, ball joints, wheel bearings, and tie rods redone (dealer warranty), and the rear brakes including calipers out of my own pocket Twice!! I’ve only had the truck for two years. Plus a few other miscellaneous electronic issues for my electrical ports, radio and dash lights, Traction Control, heated seats, and Electronic Braking System.

Drove my vehicle and then parked for one hour. Got back in and started it. Indicator light flashing for the steering wheel. I realized I could not turn my wheel. The power steering was out. I turned the vehicle on and off several times, and it "reset" itself and the indicator light was no longer flashing or lit up. Steering seemed fine as before. I drove it to the local Dodge dealership (Safford Dodge in Salisbury, MD) to see if they could check it out; mechanic came out and said it was electric power steering, he had seen this before, and it was unsafe to drive it any further. I felt uncomfortable driving it back home or to any other garage, as it was subject to going in and out. They are currently repairing the "power steering gear rack," at a cost of $2500. I am thankful this did not go out while I was driving- I would have been unable to turn the wheel and could have caused a serious accident to my vehicle and/or others. I looked this up online and found over 100 similar complaints involving power steering issues in Dodge Rams. I am currently at approx 74,400 miles and have not previously had any issue with my power steering prior to Monday. I am available to be contacted any time. I do not yet have any paperwork from the dealership regarding the repair as it is still there, but I can scan it and send it to the appropriate person once I get something from them.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FLICKERS AND FADES. IMPACTS SENSORS - AIR PRESSURE MONITORS ALARMS COME ON EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO ISSUE WITH THE AIR PRESSURE MONITORS, HAVING 2 DIFFERENT SHOPS CHECK ON THEM AND ADVISING THAT THEY DONT NEED REPLACING AND THAT THE SENSORS ARE GOOD. ALSO TRIGGERED AN ALERT THAT THE CAR WAS NOT IN DRIVE - EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN DRIVE. THE TRUCK WOULD NO GO - I HAD TO ASHIFT BACK TO PARK, TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTART IT ALSO IMPACTS IN CABIN LIGHTING - IT TURNS OFF AND WHILE DRIVING IT WILL TURN ON. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE IS NO RECALL FOR IT. SHOP IS UNWILLING TO INVESTIGATE AND OFFERS SOLUTION OF REPLACING THE WHOLE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WHICH IS OVER $1000 USD FOR THE PART ALONE. THIS ISSUE IS ONGOING - AND IT SEEMS TO BE IMPACTING MANY MANY TRUCKS.

Sudden loss of electric power steering assist without warning or symptoms. Loss of power assist made steering extremely difficult. Vehicle is in an independent repair shop for an inspection and repair cost estimate. There was no warning or symptoms. Failure was SUDDEN.

The screen on my instrument cluster flashes or turns off completely. Dealership said it’s a common problem. Over $1000 to repair. There is a similar recall on other Ram trucks in the same year as mine but mine is not listed by vin number even though it’s the exact same issue described in the recall.

The dealership says it is a clock spring in the steering wheel that causes my left blinker to stay on. And also shows a warning light to stay on. I am also wondering if a dealership can show all recalls are up to date without the repairs being done. Thanks in advance.

THE TRUCK HAS LOSS OF POWER STEERING OCCASIONALLY AT LOW SPEEDS. THERE WAS SAFETY RECALL FOR THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM UNDER THE SAFETY RECALL BECAUSE THIS VIN NUMBER IS NOT ON THE NHTSA SAFETY RECALL LIST. I NEED THIS FIXED. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART INSTALLED FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY KNOW THAT THE EPS IS FAULTY. REFERENCE NUMBER RC-VB9-19. SAFETY RECALL NUMBER VB9/NHTSA 19E-077 ELECTRIC POWER STEERING, CHRYSLER : ALL MODLES

I was driving at high speed on the expressway and my electrical power steering quit working. I ran off the road and into the ditch because the truck was too hard to control without the power steering. I could have crashed into someone or injured myself. This is a very dangerous situation to be in if you are driving at any speed. If my wife had been driving it could have been fatal. Additionally, the repairs were over $3500. I will be selling this truck as it is too dangerous for anyone to drive. Sincerely, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

engine manifold bolt sheared off, started "ticking" noise when starts.....my research has shown many complaints about the defective bolts and h\where replaced with improved bolts on other models,,..I called my dealership and they stated that the item is not covered because warranty expired (5 years) even though I have less then 80K miles...

I was driving down the road, fortunately in my neighborhood when I saw a brief alert regarding my trailer towing system before the truck completely shut down in the middle of the road. I was unable to restart and had to call a tow service. My mechanic stated it was a crank position sensor failure according to his diagnostic computer

My dash lights have been flickering on and off during the day and night and I cannot tell how fast I am going at night sometimes. Also my backup camera does not work, sometimes.

The front fuel strap broke free from it's connection point to the frame, letting the front of the fuel tank sag towards the ground. It appears the connection slot on the frame has corroded and the strap pulled free from the connection slot on the frame. The issue could have been a lot worse if I had been traveling on the freeway buy luckily it broke on a residential street. The problem has been known to be found in 09-12 ram pickups. No current recalls for a 2014. A local dealership will be looking at it on Friday June 18th. The truck can be available to inspect but I currently have no other means of transportstion, so I plan on getting the strap fixed asap. There were no warning lights or any other indication of the strap failing prior to it coming free. I heard an odd humming/vibrating noise, initially thought it was an issue with the tires, but when I pulled over on the side of the road to inspect what was making the noise, I found the tank sagging and the front strap was no longer supporting it. I was able to get underneath the truck and verify that the strap was no longer attached to the frame, the fuel tank is temporarily being supported by a ratchet strap that I installed myself.

Heard engine ticking sound when vehicle had 65k around. It became more and more serious as the vehicle kept aging. On a day in May 2021, I finally figured the cause of ticking sound was the exhaust manifold leak. I brought the vehicle to dealership two days ago and they told me two exhaust manifold bolts on driver side were broken, and one exhaust manifold stud on passenger side was broken. Got bolts and studs replaced with providing MOPAR parts myself. Labor cost itself is $1,190.00 before tax and misc. charges.

Upon starting the vehicle, there was a blinking light in the instrument cluster which appeared to be a steering wheel icon followed by an exclamation point. When I put the vehicle into "drive" and pulled forward, the steering wheel was locked and would not turn side to side. I put the vehicle into park, turned it off, and then turned it back on. The blinking light was no longer activated, and the vehicle turned normally. I drove approximately 1/4 of a mile and was in traffic traveling straight when the blinking light came back on (same icon) and the steering locked up. I was traveling at a low speed and was able to turn the vehicle onto a side street where I was able to park it and call a tow truck. Upon some research in Ram truck forums online, it appears possible this is related to the "EPS" (Electronic Power Steering) module on the truck. Other Ram owners have experienced this same malfunction while driving, sometimes resulting in accidents. My experience appears similar to that of others who have described the intermittency of this issue. That very intermittency is what makes this such a dangerous issue that the manufacturer should be addressing proactively. I will not put my family back into this vehicle until the issue is ID'd and repaired by the manufacturer.

Cam Shaft Position Sensor failed on 08-Dec-2018. I paid for the repairs myself. Issue is subject of current recall. Unable to obtain reimbursement from FCA after multiple times providing requested documentation and request for reimbursement.

Parked the truck and went into the grocery store, came back out and started the truck. Then I noticed the steering wheel with an exclamation caution ️ light was on and had no power steering. Drove 5 minutes to my house and parked it. This could have been fatal if I was driving and the power steering had went out then. It's time to get this item recalled before someone looses their life!

I have gotten 5 phone calls of people calling me and telling me they saw on the news that they saw on TV(the news channel) that there is a recall on my truck for faulty rear axles and a faulty rear drive shaft that has to be replaced. I"ve put in my vin number 6 times and get no answer of these parts to be replaced. I just bought a 2014 Dodge Ram, 1500, 4x4 truck from a dealer who screwed over me once before, but decided to try them again. I also caught the tail end of the recall on the news which said the same thing the others saw about my truck..So what is up?

The inline fuel system is incorrect and the electrical should not be in the tank! There should be filter at the neck then there should be a screen at the bottom of the tank where the outlet is then there should be a hose to the fuel filter and then from the fuel filter there should be an electrical pump the electrical pump should never be in the fuel tank and the electrical fuel pump is in the fuel tank which can cause I major fire! All vehicles have this problem and need to be fixed!

The inline fuel pump system is incorrect it has electrical inside the fuel tank there should be a screen at the neck of the fuel tank then there should be a screen at the bottom of the fuel tank by the outlet at the bottom of fuel tank then a hose to the fuel filter then there should be a fuel pump then the lines fuel lines to engine! Because the electrical is in the tank it will cause a fire! To fix the problem with the float to keep the electrical out of the fuel tank on the fuel gauge you should put the electrical lines at the top of the tank with a rheostat then have the float turn as it increases or decreases which turns the rheostat and sends the signal 2 the Gauge so all of the electrical is out of the tank this is the safest!

My vehicle suddenly and dramatically accelerates when descending steep hills, without any depression of the accelerator pedal. When this happens, the engine RPM abruptly increases from around 1500 RPM to 3000 RPM or more, with a corresponding increase in vehicle speed. This typically happens in first and second gear. After I slam on the brake to reduce speed, the engine speed temporarily returns to normal (1000-1500 RPM) then the vehicle accelerates on its own again. This does not happen when descending gentle hills. This has been happening since the vehicle was brand new and is still occurring now, 6 years later. The dealer attempted to fix the problem when the car was new, but without success.

2014 Dodge ram 1500. Consumer writes in regards to power steering failure. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE FAILURE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL.

The CHMSL 3rd brake light has failed in my 2013 RAM 1500. A Virginia State Inspection shop (AAA) indicated no power to the bulb. A RAM dealership's technician indicated it was the TIPM. A second dealership technician stated it is the Body Control Module. The cargo lamp lights do work fine. This was replicated using 2 sets of CHMSL lighting packages (no brake light, working cargo lights). The tail light brake lights work fine. There are no warning lights on the dash to indicate a problem.

The vehicle was being driven home from work, when the truck went into battery saver mode and the power steering stopped working. I was moving forward and the steering became almost impossible to control. I am 6'2 and in good shape, so I manhandled the steering to control the vehicle, and I got the vehicle to turn, barely missing 2 parked cars. If I wasnt strong enough to turn the wheels, there would have been damage to property and parked cars. The only light to come on was "battery saver mode" on the Driver info screen. Problem was a faulty battery, but in same hand, there should be a better system in the steering if the power fails in the vehicle. This problem happened in Canada, but there is much better response to dealing with issues from this organization in the USA.

While operating my 2014 ram 1500 with approximately 76000 miles the power steering went out unexpectedly and without warning. There were no dash lights or indications of any problems with the steering system. Power steering was lost immediately Making it very difficult to steer and negotiate turns. I feel if this would have happened in the process of negotiating a turn it most likely would have resulted in a crash. I have not had the issue inspected or serviced at this time and no crash occurred.

STEERING WHEEL STICKS ON BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT TURNS . SPOKE TO MY MECHANIC HE ADVISED THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON RAM TRUCKS WITH THE ELECTRONICS ON THE POWER STEERING . HE TOLD US THERE ARE MULTIPLE RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE BETWEEN 2013 AND 2020. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND ALL THEY WOULD TELL ME IS MY VIN IS NOT UNDER THE RECALL . TOLD ME TO FIX MY TRUCK AND IF IT FALLS UNDER THE RECALL AT ANY TIME THEY WILL REIMBURSE ME . I DON'T 2800 DOLLARS TO PAY FOR IT ..

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK WHEN THE POWER STEERING SERVICE LIGHT CAME UP AND THE STEERING WENT SO HARD I COULDN'T TURN IT, CAUSING ME TO ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR WHILE TURNING.

I JUST LIKE TO LET YOU KNOW IT WASN'T THE CRANK CASE PCV IT WAS THE CAMSHAFT PCV THAT CONTROLS THE VACUUM SYSTEM!

THE IDLE DROPPED TO 550 RPM S (REVOLUTIONS PER MINUTE) WHICH SHOULD BE 900 RPM AND THE ENGINE STALLED OUT. THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE CRANK CASE PCV (PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE). IT'S AN ENGINEERING DESIGN FLAW IN THE PCV- IT'S WORKING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION. THIS ALSO CAN CAUSE OTHER PROBLEMS IN THE VACUM SYSTEM LIKE BRAKE FAILURE AND IMPROPER FUEL CONSUMPTION, AND ENGINE OVER-HEATING.

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM GOES OUT WITH NO PRIOR WARNING WHILE DRIVING, LEADING TO LOCKING AND DIFFICULTY TO TURN WHEEL.

WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK ON OLD GA2 A TWO LANE COUNTY MAINTAINED GRAVEL ROAD. THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING QUIT WITHOUT WARNING WHEN I WAS ENTERING A SWITCHBACK CURVE.THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING ALMOST FORCED ME OFF THE THE ROAD. IT WAS PHYSICALLY ALL I COULD DO TO KEEP THE TRUCK ON THE ROAD. ANYONE WITH LESS UPPER BODY STRENGTH WOULD HAVE GONE OFF THE MOUNTAIN.

WHILE DRIVING NORTHBOUND ON US411 WHICH IS A FAIRLY STRAIGHT TWO LANE PAVED ROAD IN GORDON COUNTY GA, I PULLED OUT TO PASS A SLOWER VEHICLE. WHEN THE ENGINE RPMS HIT 4500 THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE AND LOOSE POWER. NO CODES WERE THROWN AT THE TIME. I WAS FORCED TO SLOW TO BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT AND FOR SAFETY REASONS COULDN'T COMPLETE THE PASS. I PULLED OVER INTO THE SHOULDER AND THE TRUCK WAS EXPERIENCING A VERY ROUGH IDLE. I TURNED OF THE IGNITION AND ON RESTART THE ENGINE FELT AND SOUNDED NORMAL. I CONTINUED HOME. THE NEXT DAY I STARTED THE TRUCK AND IT THREW A CODE. I TOOK IT TO THE RAM DEALER, AFTER DIAGNOSIS THEY SAID IT HAD A BAD CAM AND THE ENGINE NEEDED REPLACEMENT.

POWER STEERING TENDS TO BE STIFF AT LOW SPEEDS AFTER VEHICLE HAS WARMED UP IT APPEARS TO SUBSIDE TIRES HAVE BEEN CHECKED SERPENTINE BELT HAS BEEN CHECKED FLUID HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED IN POWER STEERING PUMP WONDERING IF THERE IS ADDITIONAL COMPLAINTS OF THIS I HAVE SEEN ONLINE THAT THERE HAS BEEN FOR THIS PARTICULAR YEAR

POWER STEERING COMES IN AND OUT INTERMITTENTLY, STEERING WILL LOCK UP AND COME BACK ON INTERMITTENTLY. COULD BE A FATAL HAZARD WHEN COMIN OFF EXIT RAMPS AT HIGH SPEED AND OR TURNS OR SITUATIONS FOR STEERING TO BE CONSISTENT.

OCCASIONALLY UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD BE LOCKED UP AND THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TURNED OFF, THEN TURNED BACK ON AGAIN TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. RECENTLY, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED UP AND VERY DIFFICULT TO MOVE. RESTARTING THE VEHICLE DID NOT IMPROVE THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP THAT LOOKED UP THE VIN AND STATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS COVERED UNDER 'EQUIPMENT SAFETY RECALL VB9/NHTSA 19E-077 ELECTRIC POWER STEERING GEAR.' THE DODGE/RAM DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED AND THEY CLAIMED THE PARTS USED IN THE VEHICLE WITH THIS VIN ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. VEHICLE MILEAGE IS APPROXIMATELY 107,000 MILES. THE REPAIR SHOP INDICATED THAT THEY BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE 'EPS GEAR, RACK AND PINION.'

I HEARD A NOTIFICATION TONE AND LOOKED SAW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND THE FUEL GAUGE DROPPED TO E AND THEN WARNING FLASHED "FUEL SENSOR FAIL". I CAN NOT BE THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS REPORTED THIS CAUSE IF YOU JUST GOOGLE "FUEL SENSOR FAIL" NO BRAND VEHICLE MENTIONED IN THE SEARCHED EVERYTHING AND COUNTLESS STORIES COME UP ABOUT PEOPLE WITH 4TH GEN RAM WITH THIS PROBLEM. RAM IS TOTALLY ANNOYING THIS PART THEY PUT ON THEIR TRUCKS THAT ARE DOOMED TO FAIL. IM HOPING MAYBE YOU CAN HELP MAKE THEM PUT A RECALL OUT ON THIS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

FAILURE OF ELECTRIC STEERING RACK AND STEERING CONTROL MODULE WHILE UNDER WAY WITH NO WARNING. FAILURE IS NOW INTERMITTENT, CREATING A RISK OF LOSS OF VEHICLE LOSS OF CONTROL AND CRASH.

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX. 50 MPH THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE WARNING LIGHT FLASHED SERVICE 4WD, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND MANY OTHER WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH AND ELECTRONIC SELECTOR. AFTER STOPPING, WITHOUT POWER BRAKES WORKING, THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START. I ALLOWED TO TRUCK TO SIT, WITH FLASHERS ON, FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. AFTER THE 10 MINUTE WAIT, THE TRUCK STARTED AND SEEM TO DRIVE NORMALLY. I WENT DIRECTLY TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP (SHARP DODGE IN PULASKI, TN). THE TECHNICIAN WASN'T ABLE TO FIND A "CODE" RELATED TO THE SHUT DOWN. THEY ONLY FOUND INDICATIONS OF "VOLTAGE OVERLOAD" NOT FURTHER DEFINED. THIS OCCURRED ON APRIL 8, 2021 ON HWY 31A, APPROX 0600 HRS NEAR THE CITY OF PULASKI, TN 38478. NOTE:. THE ENGINE /LONG BLOCK WAS REPLACED BY THE SAME DEALER AT172000 AND UNDER MOPAR WARRANTY DUE TO INTERNAL ENGINE ISSUES INVOLVING #5 LIFTER AND DAMAGED CAM SHAFT.

THE AIR SUSPENSION RANDOMLY STOPS WORKING. I PURCHASED TRUCK LESS THEN A YEAR AGO. I FIGURED IT WAS DUE TO THE COLD WEATHER WE GET IN COLORADO. HOWEVER I DROVE THE TRUCK TO FLORIDA. HALFWAY THERE THE SUSPENSION STOPS WORKING. MAKES A VERY BUMPY RIDE, AND VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AND PAINFUL. ALSO I MANAGED TO GET PULLED OVER IN DALLAS AND ACCUSED OF A DUI BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN A LANE. DUE TO THE SUSPENSION BEING MESSED UP. IS THERE A FIX FOR THIS

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BLACKWELL CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (1660 W BUSINESS US HIGHWAY 60, DEXTER, MO 63841, (573) 624-8300) WHERE THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE REMAINED AT THE DEALER FROM 12/17/2020 TO 3/16/2021. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PICKED UP, WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR FAILED AND THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED HOWEVER, THE REMEDY WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 126,000.

I HAD TO HAVE MY EXHAUST FLEX PIPE REPLACED PIPE CONNECTS ENGINE TO EXHAUST SYSTEM. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM ON VEHICLES USING 3.0LITER ECODIESEL. THE PIPE DEGRADES AND STARTS LEAKING EXHAUST INTO THE CAB. ON LINE FORUMS DISCUSS THIS PROBLEM WITH ALL THE VEHICLES THAT USE THIS MOTOR. 2014 ALL THE WAY UP TO 2020 VEHICLES. THE COST FOR ME WAS $7,000.00 TO HAVE IT REPLACED. THE COST ITSELF IS DIFFICULT FOR ANYONE TO COME UP WITH AND I WOULD ASSUME YOU WILL LOOK INTO THIS FURTHER. THIS IS HAPPENING AT VERY LOW MILEAGE, MY TRUCK HAS ONLY 43,000 MILES. SOME WITH MUCH LESS MILEAGE. PLEASE LOOK AT THIS PROBLEM AS A SAFETY AND HEALTH ISSUE. THE EFFECT OF CARBONMONOXIDE POISONING AND TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS ARE HIGH AND WHAT IT DOES TO THE BRAIN. THE SMELL OF EXHAUST GETS INTO THE VEHICLES WEATHER MOVING OR STATIONARY. THANK YOU!

POWER STEERING HAS JUST STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS TAKING THE EXIT TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY

THE FUEL SENSOR FAILS CAUSING THE CRUISE CONTROL NOT TO WORK AND MY GAS GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY. THIS CAN HAPPEN UPON STARTING MY TRUCK OR DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 75 MPH.

MY CHECK AIR BAG SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD TURNS ON RANDOMLY. I HAD THIS ISSUE FIXED LAST SUMMER AND THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A WIRING ISSUE. I AM CONCERNED THIS ISSUE HAS UNDERLYING PROBLEMS.

HAD STEERING HARNESS RECALL DOWN. NOW CLOCKSPRING GONE OUT. HORN CRUISE CONTROL EVIC SCREEN FROZEN. DEALER DID RECALL REPORTS NOT COVERED.

POWER STEERING WENT COMPLETELY OUT ON MY 2014 DODGE RAM 1500. IT LOCKED UP ON ME AND ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO AVOID THAT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY DODGE HAS NO RECALL ON THIS AS THE MORE I READ ABOUT IT, IT WAS COMMON ISSUE ON 2013,2014 AND 2015"S MODEL YEAR. TO ME THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN IT LOCKS UP YOU CANNOT STEER THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE BATTERY LIGHT SUDDENLY DISPLAYED BEFORE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS IN THE VEHICLE FAILED, INCLUDING THE POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, THE DASHBOARD INSTRUMENTATION, AND ELECTRIC WINDOWS. THE VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY DRIVEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER BOB POYNTER CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT OF SEYMOUR LOCATED AT 1873 E TIPTON ST, SEYMOUR, IN 47274 WHO DIAGNOSED THAT A FUSE IN THE ALTERNATOR HAD FAILED. THE FUSE WAS REPLACED AND THE SYSTEM WAS REPROGRAMMED AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000.

ENGINE CYLINDER MISFIRES. ENGINE BLOCK 5,6,(7,8). MANY REPORTED 170 K MILEAGE VEHICLE BROKE DOWN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION. ALL REPLACED PARTS DID NOTHING SOLVE ISSUE. I STILL OWE $26,000 ON A 2014 - BEING TOLD TO PUT A NEW ENGINE NO REVERSAL OF SHOWN MILEAGE AFTER REPLACEMENT. NEW ENGINE $6 K USED ENGINE $5 K. I'M A SINGLE MOM STUCK TRYING TO KEEP MY CREDIT UP.

THE PLASTIC OIL COOLER/FILTER HOUSING CRACKED AND IS LEAKING OIL ON MY RAM TRUCK WITH V6 PENTASTAR ENGINE. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS PART ASSEMBLY FOR SEVERAL+ YEARS ALREADY. IT CRACKED ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO ALONG WITH SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE ACROSS THE UNITED STATE DURING THE COLD WEATHER THAT A GOOD PORTION OF THE UNITED STATES WENT THROUGH. AS OF TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2021 THERE WAS AN ESTIMATED 37,700 BACK ORDERS AS PER A DEALERSHIP SERVICE TECH ON THIS PART AND AS FAR AS I KNOW THIS IS JUST THE FACTORY OEM PART FROM DEALERS, IT DOESN'T INCLUDE THE AFTER MARKET PART WHICH IS ALSO UNAVAILABLE AND ON BACK ORDER EVERYWHERE! NO ONE HAS THIS PART. IT MIGHT BE AVAILABLE BY THE MIDDLE OF MARCH, MAYBE, THE DEALERS ARE UNSURE. A LOT OF WEBSITES SAY THEY HAVE IT UNTIL YOU CALL THEM OR THEY SAY T WILL BE SHIPPED IN MARCH OR APRIL, BUT WHO REALLY KNOWS THAT FOR SURE. THERE IS A LONG HISTORY OF THIS PART HAVING PROBLEMS AND THE CONSUMER HAVING TO FIX AND PAY FOR THE AUTOMAKERS BAD PART AND THAT NEEDS TO STOP! AS OF RIGHT NOW THERE ARE SOME 37,700+ THAT HAVE AN OIL LEAK AND MORE THAN LIKELY CANNOT EVEN DRIVE THE VEHICLE DUE TO THIS PROBLEM AND POSSIBLY HAVING TO RENT OR BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE TO GET TO WORK AND WHATEVER ELSE THEY NEED TO USE IT FOR WHICH IS MORE MONEY OUT OF THE CONSUMERS POCKET. RIGHT NOW I CANNOT DRIVE MY TRUCK DUE TO THIS PROBLEM AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN I WILL GET A PART FOR IT. GO ONLINE AND LOOK THIS PROBLEM UP AND YOU WILL FIND A LOT OF COMPLAINTS AND HOW LONG THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING. ATTACHED IS AN IMAGE OF THE BAD OIL COOLER/FILTER ASSEMBLY. THIS PART IS ON A LOT OF CHRYSLER/DODGE VEHICLES WITH V6 PENTASTAR ENGINES.

UPON FUELING VEHICLE TO THE FULL POSITION AFTER RUNNING FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IT'S BELIEVED THAT THE FLOAT WITHIN THE GAS TANK HAS A WEAR SPOT ON THE SYSTEM. AFTER FUEL LEVEL GETS TO THE THREE-QUARTER FULL POSITION ENGINE LIGHT GOES OUT.

WHEN THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE GETS BELOW FREEZING, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND WILL NOT TURN, WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. THE SERVICE POWER STEERING MESSAGE WILL APPEAR. IF THE VEHICLE IS WARMED UP FOR UP SEVERAL MINUTES, THEN TURNED COMPLETELY OFF UNTIL THE DISPLAY LIGHTS TURN OFF; THEN RESTART THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE WILL RESET ITSELF, AND WILL TO WORK NORMALLY AGAIN.

LIFTER TICK WITH MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 2. DECREASED GAS MILEAGE. MOST NOTABLE AT IDLE.

I NOTICED A TICKING SOUND AND POWER LOSS PLUS MY ENGINE WOULD NOT REV PAST 4,000 RPM. THE FIRST MECHANIC STATED AN EXHAUST HEADER LEAK. HE FOUND THREE BROKEN BOLTS AND STATED THIS IS A VERY COMMON 5.7L HEMI ISSUE (MY RESEARCH CONFIRMED THIS). $1,200 TO REPAIR. THE TICKING WAS STILL THERE HOWEVER. THE SECOND MECHANIC (2 MONTHS LATER) FOUND A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 5. FURTHER DIGGING SHOWED THE LIFTER HAD FAILED AND THE CAM LOBE WAS GROUND DOWN. METAL SHAVINGS WERE DISPERSED THROUGHOUT THE ENGINE. BEST REPAIR WAS A NEW ENGINE $9,556. I'VE NOW SPENT ALMOST HALF OF WHAT I PAID FOR THIS VEHICLE ON REPAIRS. THE SECOND MECHANIC STATED THIS LIFTER ISSUE IS VERY COMMON TOO. HE WAS SURPRISED THERE WAS NOT ALREADY A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. IF YOU SCOUR THE WEB IT'S ABUNDANTLY CLEAR THAT THIS LIFTER ISSUE IS INDEED A PROBLEM WITH BOTH THE 5.7L AND 6.3L HEMI MOTORS. THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE ENGINE WERE TO CATASTROPHICALLY FAIL WHILE IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY OR ELSEWHERE.

SATURDAY EVENING WE WERE EXISTING THE INTERSTATE WHEN I STARTED TO SMELL WHAT SEEMED LIKE A CHEMICAL SMELL. WE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHERE THIS SMELL WAS COMING FROM. AS WE PROCEEDED DOWN THE HIGHWAY, I STARTED TO GET WARM SO I TURNED OFF THE HEATED SEAT. WHEN WE ARRIVED AT OUR DESTINATION, I COULD STILL SMELL THE SOMETHING OUT OF THE NORMAL. I BEGIN TO LOOK ALL AROUND. SMELLING MY JACKET TO MAKE SURE THE KIDS DIDN'T SPILL SOMETHING ON IT, OR JUST TRY TO FIND WHERE THE SMELL WAS COMING FROM. FINALLY, I TURN AROUND AND REALIZE MY HEATED SEAT HAD CAUGHT FIRE. THANK GOD I HAD TURNED THE SEAT WARMER OFF MOMENTS EARLIER. LUCKY FOR ME, THE TRUCK DID NOT GO UP IN FLAMES. THE SEAT HAS A DEEP BURN HOLE AND MY JACKET (WHICH WAS BETWEEN THE SEAT AND MYSELF) HAS 2 BURNS IN IT. I WAS UNHARMED BUT IF IT WASN'T FOR ME TURNING THE SEAT OFF, I'M AFRAID OF WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED. OUR TRUCK IS STILL UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND IS NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED. HOWEVER, I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP WHO IS TO REPORT SUCH THINGS? THEY EXPRESSED THAT THEY WERE NOT SURE, BUT THEY DO NOT. WE HAVE AN OPEN CASE NOW THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP AND WAITING FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS.

AIR RIDE SUSPENSION DROPS TO BUMP STOPS CAUSING ROUGH RIDE AND LOSE OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY OR WORSE. VERY POOR DESIGN...

CHIRPING FROM THE TORQUE CONVERTER AREA I'M AFRAID MY THE TRANSMISSION COLD SLIP OR GO OUT CAUSING AN UNEXPECTED STOP OR ACCELERATION ENDING UP IN AN COLLISION WHERE SOMEONE COLD GET HURT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO AN CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND ITS NOT THE EXHAUST OR THE LIFTERS THE NOISE IS COMES FROM BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION AND THE MOTOR

I GOT INTO MY TRUCK TO LEAVE FROM WORK. WHEN I STARTED THE ENGINE, THE "BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW" WARNING INSTANTLY CAME ON. JUST A FEW SECONDS LATER, THE "SERVICE POWER STEERING" WARNING CAME ON AS WELL. AT THIS TIME THE RADIO SHUT OFF. MY TRUCK THEN SAID: "BATTERY SAVER MODE" WAS ON, AND THE RADIO CAME BACK ON. THE POWER STEERING WAS COMPLETELY OFF/NOT WORKING, SO I WAS VERY GRATEFUL THAT I WAS SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT AND NOT DRIVING WHILE THIS HAPPENED AS IT COULD'VE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT! I LIMPED ALONG SLOWLY WITH MY FLASHERS ON, TO AN AUTOZONE TO HAVE THEM CHECK MY BATTERY. THEY WERE VERY BUSY, SO EVEN THOUGH MY BATTERY WAS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD, I SIMPLY BOUGHT A BRAND NEW ONE TO SEE IF IT FIXED THE PROBLEM WITH BOTH THE BATTERY (WHICH SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM AT ALL) BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE POWER STEERING FAILURE. THANKFULLY, I HAD A NEARLY STRAIGHT SHOT TO GET HOME, BUT IT WAS VERY HARD TO STEER THE TRUCK, AND I'M A BIG GUY, SO FOR THE AVERAGE PERSON, THEY WOULD HAVE MOST LIKELY HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK. I HAVE STARTED IT UP EVERY DAY SINCE THEN WHICH WAS 5 DAYS AGO, AND I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO POWER STEERING AT ALL. THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN ON A VEHICLE...NEVER. AND I HAD ZERO PROBLEMS WITH IT, SO WHY WOULD IT JUST FAIL FOR NO APPARENT REASON? THERE MUST BE A RECALL FOR THIS; PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE IN A FAST FOOD DRIVE THRU, THE POWER STEERING CEASED TO OPERATE WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN, WITHOUT WARNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V459000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED, THE HORN, ELECTRONIC FUNCTIONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL, AND INSTRUMENT PANEL BECAME INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ALL AMERICAN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM FIAT OF SAN ANGELO (4310 SHERWOOD WAY, SAN ANGELO, TX 76901) WHO INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT OF THE CLOCKSPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH THE DEALER STATED WAS NOT AN ISSUE RELATED TO THE PREVIOUS RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,945.

MY TRUCK VIBRATES AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 55 -68 MPH. I NO LONGER HAVE 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND WAS TOLD IT IS MY RIGHT FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FRONT END COSTING ME CLOSE TO $3,000. I HAVE SEEN THIS AS AN ISSUE ON RAM AND DODGE FORUMS. IT SEEMS LIKE IF THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF RECALL. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A FEW YEARS BUT THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE DIED LAST YEAR BUT DUE TO COVID I DID NOT GET IT FIXED BECAUSE I WAS WORKING FROM HOME. I AM NOW BACK TO WORK AND NEED TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. UNFORTUNATELY THE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER AND AT LEAST A MONTH AWAY. I HAVE 121,000 MILES AND I WOULD HOPE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR YEARS TO COME BUT IN THESE TIMES $3000 IS A DIFFICULT BILL TO TAKE.

MY TRUCK STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME AND SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THIS CAUSED ME TO SWERVE MISSING A CAR NEXT TO ME. I LOST DRIVABILITY BUT MANAGED TO PULL TO SHOULDER WHERE I COULD NOT RESTART MY TRUCK. I HAD IT TOWED AND PARKED IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. THERE IS NO RECALL FIX YET. SO NOW I'M STUCK WITH NO TRUCK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER, VEERED TO THE RIGHT, AND STALLED. THE CONTACT HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO THE RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER PUENTE HILLS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (17280 GALE AVE, CITY OF INDUSTRY, CA 91748) AND WAS MADE AWARE THAT THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V475000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

FCA PUT OUT A NOTICE OF RECALL IN AUGUST OF 2020 (W58). IT IS NOW THE 14TH OF JANUARY AND STILL NO RESOLUTION. THE RAM DEALER SAYS WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL FCA DETERMINES A RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. THE NHTSA WEBSITE SAYS THE SAME THING - NOT YET RESOLVED. THE RECALL SAYS THE DEFECT CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL AND CRASH, YET I AM STILL WAITING FOR A FIX 5 MONTHS SINCE THE RECALL WAS SENT OUT. I AM PUTTING MY FAMILY IN JEOPARDY EVERY DAY WHILE WAITING. THIS SHOULD NOT BE AN ACCEPTABLE TO THE NHTSA. JOSEPH THOMAS

MY TRUCK CONTINUES TO LIGHT UP SAYING THAT THE FUEL CAP IS LOOSE. I BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS A FORMER RECALL ABOUT A CRACK AND ENGINE COOLANT GAS GETTING INTO THE SYSTEM, AND THIS WAS NEVER FIXED PROPERLY. ALSO, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON, AND THERE WAS A FORMER RECALL ABOUT THAT AND IT WAS NEVER FIXED. THESE ARE ALL WHILE STATIONARY.

2014 RAM 1500 IN MOTION WHEN ACCELERATING AND MAINTAINING SPEED RIMS SURGE AND TRUCK FEELS LIKE IT STUMBLES OVER ITSELF AND VIBRATES BEFORE SETTLING IN SET GEAR ITS A CONSTANT ISSUE NOW STARTED A COUPLE MONTHS AGO NOTICEABLY I HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK FOR OVER 3 YEARS

TRUCK WOULD NOT START

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: UNKNOWN ( ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT THE VEHICLE REVVED UP AND CRASHED INTO A UNKNOWN TOYOTA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO 60 MPH SIDE SWIPED A UNKNOWN SUV, CRASHED INTO A POLE AND STOPPED BETWEEN A HOUSE AND WALL THE CHECK ENGINE AND TIRE WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO REPORTED INJURIES. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AN INDEPENDENT AUTO BODY SHOP. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,700. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED HIS PET DOG SUSTAINED UNKNOWN INJURIES. *DT*JB

I HAVE A 2014 RAM 1500 5.7L SPORT AND OVER A YEAR IT STARTED LOSING POWER STEERING. I TURN ON THE VEHICLE AND HAVE TO WAIT 5 TO 10 MINUTES FOR THE EPS TO ACTIVATE. IT STARTED DOING THIS ALL ON ITS OWN ONE DAY. A MESSAGE APPEARS THAT SAYS SERVICE EPS. I HAVE READ AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, BUT FOR SOME REASON THERE IS NO RECOLL ON IT. AND THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME OVER $3,000 TO FIX THIS. CAN SOME ONE HELP ME WITH THIS.

AFTER RECEIVING V08/V11 AEM UPDATE NOVEMBER 18TH, 2020 I AM EXPERIENCING AN AVERAGE OF 5-6 MPG LOSS IN FUEL ECONOMY (16.4 MPG MIXED - DOWN FROM 21.5-22 MIXED) AS WELL AS EXPERIENCE SEVERE ACCELERATION LAG. IN TERMS OF HIGHWAY MILEAGE I AM STRUGGLING TO GET 20 MPG. CURRENT ECM: 68306456AI CURRENT TCM: 68234053AH 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. 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."

WE HAVE CHANGED THE BOLTS IN OUR ENGINE MULTIPLE TIMES. WE DID IT WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY MANY TIMES AND EVEN ASK THE DEALER ABOUT A RECALL. OTHER TRUCKS THIS MAKE AND MODEL HAS HAD THE SAME ISSUE. NOW DUE TO THE BOLTS BREAKING AGAIN WE ARE HAVING TO DO MORE WORK. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE. WE LOVE OUR TRUCK BUT THINK THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE MOTOR BUILD UP. WE EVEN HAD THREE DIFFERENT MECHANICS TELL US THE SAME THING. I CAN PROVIDE PAPERWORK IF NEEDED! THIS JUST HAPPENS EVER FEW MONTHS. I CAN GO OUTSIDE WITH IT STATIONARY AND AS SOON AS I START THE TRUCK I CAN TELL IF ANOTHER BOLT HAS BROKEN.

WHENEVER I GO TO FILL THE FUEL TANK WITH GAS THE FUEL NOZZLE GETS STUCK ON THE FILLER NECK AND IS REALLY HARD TO GET OFF, I USUALLY HAVE TO HOLD THE VAPOR SYSTEM CAP THAT IS ON THE NOZZLE IN SO IT WILL DISPENSE FUEL AND NOT LOCK ON FILLER NECK, I HAVE READ THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH 2015 MODEL BUT MINE IS A 2014 AND I CANT EVEN LET MY WIFE OR DAUGHTER FILL TRUCK WITH GAS BECAUSE THEY CANT REMOVE FROM FILLER NECK.

AFTER RETURNING HOME FROM A BRIEF TRIP APPROXIMATELY 20 MI I CAME HOME, I THEN LEFT MY HOUSE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 3 MI WHEN I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION, AS I STARTED TO GO THROUGH THE INTERSECTION MY TRUCK SUDDENLY DIED I WAS ABLE TO COAST THROUGH THE INTERSECTION, WITH NO POWER STEERING AND NO ASSISTED POWER BRAKES, USING A LOT OF FORCE I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE TRUCK TO A COMPLETE STOP, ON THE EDGE OF A BUSY ROAD WHILE I WAITED FOR HELP TO ARRIVE. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME A PART THAT WAS CALLED A TONE WHEEL HAD FAILED. AFTER DOING A BIT OF ONLINE SEARCHING I SEE THAT THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM AMONGST THESE RAM ECO-DIESELS. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FIND THAT CERTAIN ECO-DIESELS RANGING FROM 2014 TO 2018 WERE BEING RECALLED FOR THIS PART BUT MY PARTICULAR 2014 IS NOT INCLUDED THE PART IS A WHEEL THAT A SENSOR LOOKS AT AND TIMES THE FUEL SYSTEM WITH THE OTHER ENGINE COMPONENTS FOR COMBUSTION WHEN THIS SENSOR DOESN'T SEE THE WHEEL IT DOES NOT KNOW WHERE THE REST OF THE ENGINE IS IN ITS CYCLE CAUSING IT TO SHUT OFF IMMEDIATELY GIVING IT NO POWER TO PROPEL ITSELF TO A SAFE SPOT. THE RECALL W58 AS IT'S KNOWN IN FCA RAM TRUCKS SHOULD FIX THIS ISSUE WITH A SIMPLE PROGRAM CHANGE WHEREAS THE DEALER WANTS TO REPLACE THE PART WITH A EXACT REPLACEMENT WHICH WILL LIKELY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM THE NEXT TIME WE MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY. MY FEAR IS THAT IF MY WIFE OR MY TEEN AGE SON WOULD BE DRIVING IT, THEY MAY NOT HAVE HAD THE STRENGTH TO STEER IT AND STOP IN A SAFE PLACE I BELIEVE I WAS LUCKY. AS I UNDERSTAND IT THE RECALL IS A SIMPLE PROGRAM CHANGE AND ELIMINATES THE DEFECTIVE TONE WHEEL SYSTEM IN QUESTION . I BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD APPLY TO MY TRUCK AND PROVES THAT THEY KNOW THAT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS SYSTEM.

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK AND ALL OF SUDDEN MY STEERING LOCKED UP AND A RED STEERING WHEEL ICON WITH A FLASHING EXCLAMATION POINT WAS ON THE DASH BOARD. I WAS UNABLE TO TURN MY STEERING WHEEL. WHEN I RESTARTED MY TRUCK IT WENT AWAY. THE NEXT DAY IT DID IT AGAIN. NOW AFTER ABOUT A 2 WEEKS IT THE ICON WILL NOT GO AWAY I CAN NOT TURN MY STEERING WHEEL AT ALL. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY WEREN'T AWARE OF ANY ISSUES SO I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THAT A RECALL WASN'T AVAILABLE FOR THE BUILD DATE OF MY TRUCK. BUT I'VE SEEN RECALLS FOR TRUCKS BEFORE AND AFTER MY TRUCK. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN PARKED FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS BECAUSE THE REPAIR PRICE IS ABOUT $2,400 DOLLARS.

THE AIR SUSPENSION HAS NOT BEEN WORKING PROPERLY FOR WELL OVER A YEAR NOW IT INTERMITTENTLY GOES DOWN TO THE BUMP STOPS AND COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS INJURY TO PERSONS IN OTHER VEHICLES PLUS MY OWN BECAUSE ANY BUMP THAT YOUR HIT CAUSE THE TRUCK TO BOUNCED LOSING TRACTION WITH THE ROAD AND THAT EVEN MEANS WHEN SLOWING DOWN THE TRACTION CONTROL ABS BRICKS IN AND CAUSE THE WHEELS TO NOT LOCK UP ,, ALSO THE TRUCK CAN'T HOLD THE LOAD IF AND IN THE BED CUSSING UNSAFE HANDLING AROUND CORNERS AND THREW TRAFFIC

WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS YOU GET A BOUNCE OR WOBBLE AND I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING WHEEL TIRES BRAKES ROTORS NOTHING FIXES IT AND THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THEY SEE NOTHING WRONG. I JUST GOT THIS TRUCK IN MAY AND FEEL LIKE I MADE A MISTAKE AND I DONT FEEL THAT ITS SAFE I TRY TO STAY OFF HIGHWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STAND STILL, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT BUCKLE FAILED TO LATCH SECURELY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOLLES MOTORS (84 WEST RD, ELLINGTON, CT 06029: (860) 875-2595) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT LATCH TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000.

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 70 MPH WHEN A ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRUCK JUST STOPPED WORKING. IT COMPLETELY STALLED, IT WAS DIFFICULT TO STEER, BUT LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY. I LOOKED UP THE WARNING LIGHT AND IT SAID IT HAD TO DO WITH THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT TURN OVER AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. MY TRUCK HAS NOW BEEN SITTING AT A DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR 2 MONTHS AND THEY ARE SAYING IT WILL BE ANOTHER MONTH UNTIL THEY MIGHT GET THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR IN NEEDED TO FIX IT. HERE IS THE THING, DODGE IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. A PROBLEM THAT IS SO WIDE SPREAD THEY LITERALLY DO NOT HAVE ANYMORE PARTS TO FIX IT. THEY HAVE A RECALL FOR IT FOR VEHICLES MANUFACTURED IN THE US WITH A WORK AROUND UNTIL THEY GET PARTS MADE BUT BECAUSE MY TRUCK WAS MANUFACTURED IN CANADA THEY REFUSE TO PUT MY VIN IN WITH THE RECALL SO THEY CAN USE THE WORK AROUND. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH DODGE AND HAVE GOTTEN NO WHERE. I HAVE ANOTHER RECALL THAT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AND THEY SAY CANNOT BE FIXED UNTIL THEY GET THE CRANKSHAFT FIXED. THIS OTHER RECALL THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT FOR OVER A YEAR AND THEY WOULD TELL ME TO TAKE IT ON THE HIGHWAY AND DRIVE IT. NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME WHAT A FIRE HAZARD THIS RECALL IS.

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK USED SEVERAL YEARS AGO. THE AIR SUSPENSION ON IT FAILS RANDOMLY, ESPECIALLY IN COLD WEATHER. I JUST HAD THE AIR COMPRESSOR REPLACED IN IT AND IT FAILED AGAIN WITHIN A WEEK. IT HAPPENS MOST OFTEN WHEN STATIONARY, BUT I HAVE HAD IT FAIL ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN GOING 65-70 MPH. NORMALLY THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE FALLS TO ENTRY EXIT LEVEL AND OTHER CORNERS STAY UP, BUT I HAVE HAD SEVERAL COMBINATIONS OF FRONT AND REAR CORNERS FAIL.

GOT OUT OF WORK ONE MORNING 11-11-2020 TRUCK WOULD NOT START , STATED WRONG KEY FOB NOT THE PROBLEM. TOOK MULTIPLE TIMES TO TURN THE KEY TO START THE TRUCK. I CHANGED THE KEY FOB BATTERY NOT THE PROBLEM. BATTERY WAS REPLACED 1 YEAR AGO NOT THE PROBLEM. THE KEY FOB IGNITION SWITCH WAS THE PROBLEM. HAD A FRIEND OF MINE TELL ME HE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN TO HIM 4 MONTHS AGO. WAS AFRAID THAT IF I TURN MY TRUCK OFF IT WOULD NOT START BACK UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING UP AN INCLINE AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH HAULING A TRAILER, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE TRAILER BRAKES DISCONNECTED WARNING LIGHT AND SEVERAL OTHER UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO TOWN AND COUNTRY CAR AND TRUCK CENTER, INC (10 CRAFT DRIVE, ALAMOSA, CO 81101, (719)587-1800 TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED A FAILURE TO THE CRANKSHAFT. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V475000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 157,622.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING ON THIS RECALL FOR ALMOST A YEAR ON MY EGR COOLER AND NO DEALER CAN GET ONE TO REPLACE IT. I KNOW THAT COVID 19 HAS CAUSED PRODUCTION PROBLEM BUT, A YEAR IS TOO LONG! THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE REPLACED AT FULL VALUE FOR WHAT I HAVE GONE THROUGH WITH IT. I HAVE FILLED OUT ALL FORMS AND SUBMITTED PROPERLY ON THE REIMBURSEMENT OF LOSS FROM CHRYSLER. I STILL HAVE RECEIVED NO CHECK FOR THAT. I CALL THE DEALER OFTEN AND GET NO RESPONSE OTHER THAN THAT THE PART HAS BEEN BACKORDERED AND NOT AVAILABLE. WHAT RECOURSE DO I HAVE IN THIS MATTER?

HAVE NOTICED A CRACK IN THE TAIL SHAFT OF TRANSFER CASE. HAVE NEVER USED THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE SINCE I BOUGHT IT DECIDED TO USE IT & NOTICED A CLICK THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED THE CRACKS IN TRANSFER CASE

AT 70 - 76 MILES PER HOUR THE TRUCK STARTS TO VIBRATE. HAD THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT REPLACED PART NUMBER 938-095 10 MONTHS AGO AND IT STOPPED . HERE WE ARE 10 MONTHS LATER AND IT IS BACK.

AIR SUSPENSION WILL STOP WORKING WHILE TRAVELING AND YOU LOSE ALL SUSPENSION VEHICLE WILL START TO BOUNCE EVEN ON SMITH ROADS WHICH CAUSES TRUCK TO WANDER IN ALL DIRECTIONS AND GIVES ANOTHER WARNING SO YOU IMMEDIATELY SEE THE RESULTS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS TRAVELING STRAIGHT

OCTOBER 20, 2020 STARTED VEHICLE AND STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, NO POWER STEERING AVAILABLE. TURN VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED AND POWER STEERING WORKED. NEXT DAY AND EVERY DAY SINCE THIS SAME ISSUE HAPPENS BUT GETTING WORSE. I HAVE TO TURN VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON SEVERAL TIMES TO GET STEERING TO WORK. VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY. HAVE HEARD MANY OTHERS HAVE SAME ISSUES. SHOULD BE RECALLED LIKE 2015 AND 2016 MODELS. THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT RESULTING IN DEATH TO END OTHERS. ITS NOT HAPPENED WHEN DRIVING BUT AFRAID IT WILL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V347000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO POMOCO CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM OF NEWPORT NEWS (12629 JEFFERSON AVE, NEWPORT NEWS, VA 23602) WHERE THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. AFTER RECEIVING THE RECALL REPAIR, THE TAILGATE LATCH INDEPENDENTLY OPENED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND HE WAS INFORMED THAT HE HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 34,000.

FUEL GAUGE FAILURE. UPON RESEARCH THIS SO A VERY COMMON ISSUE. WHEN FUEL GAUGE REACHES 1/2 TANK, IT WILL FLASH EMPTY AND FUEL LEVEL LOW. ALSO FORCES CHECK ENGINEER LIGHT ON.

2014 DODGE RAM LARAMIE LONGHORN, JUST BOUGHT AND MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHTS ARE FLASHING 9N AND OFF. THEY SAY ITS THE HARNESS IN THE DRIVERS SEAT. WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE IT FLASHES AND AND OFF, AND WHILE DRIVING ITS FLASHING ON AND OFF. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING MY OWN CAR.

4 MANIFOLD EXHAUST BOLTS BROKE OFF. WHEN STARTING VEHICLE YOU COULD SMELL EXHAUST FUMES INSIDE OF THE CAB. THIS HAS TO BE A SAFETY PROBLEM AND DESERVES A RECALL. IF YOU GOOGLE RAM 1500 WITH THE 5.7L HEMI ENGINE AND YOU WILL SEE THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.

AT A STOP LIGHT ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY, THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND ABOUT 900 FEET LATER I LOST COMPULSION. I QUICKLY GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY JUST IN TIME BEFORE THE TRUCK STOPPED ROLLING, IT JUST DIED.

AIR SUSPENSION FAILS EVERY FEW MONTHS LEAVING THE TRUCK UNDRIVEABLE. NORMAL ROADS CAN LIFT THE REAR TIRES OFF THE GROUND AND CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL. PARTS ARE EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE AND DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT WELL TRAINED TO FIX THEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE POWER STEERING CEASED WITH THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER. AFTER APPROXIMATELY ONE MINUTE, THE POWER STEERING RETURNED TO NORMAL FUNCTIONALITY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS RECENTLY TAKEN TO CROWN DODGE OF FAYETTEVILLE (436 N. MCPHERSON CHURCH RD, FAYETTEVILLE, NC 28303, (910) 672-6765) AND RECEIVED A MULTIPOINT INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

POWER STEERING WENT OUT. CAN NOT TURN STEERING WHEEL AT ALL. WAS NOT DRIVING WHEN IT FAILED, WAS TRYING TO LEAVE HOME FROM THE DRIVEWAY.

FEBRUARY OF 2019 I WAS DRIVING MY 2014 RAM 1500 3.6LITER 4X4 TO WORK. WHEN COMING DOWN AN ON RAMP MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT TURN BACK TO THE RIGHT. I HAD TO MUSCLE THE STEERING TO TRY AND TURN RIGHT BEFORE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE STEERING SUDDENLY TURNED RIGHT SHARPLY SENDING MY VEHICLE HARD RIGHT INTO THE DITCH. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS OR MAINTANCE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH. I WAS ACCELERATING WHEN ALL OF THIS HAPPENED AND LET OFF ONCE THE TRUCK REFUSED TO RESPOND. THE FACT THAT LATER MODELS ARE BEING ADDRESSED AND YET 2014 OWNERS ARE REPORTING THE ISSUE AS WELL IS PURE NEGLECT.

STEERING SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT WARNING. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR PROBLEMS. I WAS LUCKILY JUST LEAVING WORK AND ONLY GOING ABOUT 10 MPH.

CUANDO ME DISPONIA A SALIR DE MI RESIDENCIA, ENCIENDO EL VEHICULO ,SALE UN AVISO CON EL SIMBOLO DE UN VOLANTE O GUIA Y DECIA DAR SERV DIRECCION HIDRAULICA Y EL VOLANTE SE PUSO DURO Y NO SE PUEDA CASI JIRAR. ' WHEN I LEFT MY HOME (RESIDENCE) I STARTED THE VEHICLE, I SAW A WARNING SYMBOL INDICATING A STEERING WHEEL OR GUIDE AND IT SAID TO GIVE SERVICE , TO HYDRAULIC STEERING WHEEL, AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME HARD AND ALMOST UNABLE TO TURN IT'. *TR

MY TRUCK HAS BEEN CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD. TOOK IT TO LANDMARK DODGE IN MORROW, GA. THEY DID TWO REPAIRS TO FIX THE PROBLEM, AND CHARGE ME ON THE 8/31/20 FIRST REPAIR $968.81. IT CUT OFF AT A COUPLE MILES FROM THE SHOP. SECOND REPAIRS ON THE 9/11/20. PICK IT UP ON THE 9/14/20. THOSE REPAIR COST ME $1830.20. AGAIN IT CUT OFF A COUPLE MILES DOWN THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. I HAD COMPLAIN BEFORE ABOUT THE FAULTY TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. DODGE HAD WARRANTY THE PART. BUT SINCE THEN I HAVE REPLACE IT FOUR OR FIVE TIMES. I PAID FOR THE REPAIRS THAT SUPPOSED TO FIX IT. BUT THEY ARE NOT LISTENING TO ME. I PULL A TRAILER ON THE HIGHWAY, AND IF THE TRUCK CUT OFF, IT WILL PUT ME AT RISK AND WHO EVER DRIVING AROUND ME. THE DEALERSHIP HAD MY TRUCK FROM 8/20/20 TO 9/14/20 WITH SAME PROBLEM THAT I BROUGHT IT IN FOR. NOW I FILL LIKE THE TRUCK IS A LEMON.

RAM DASH LIGHT PROBLEMS I HAVE A 2014 DODGE RAM 1500 I AM CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE DASH LIGHTS WON'T TURN OFF. ON THE MORNING THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. I JUMPED . ALL OTHER LIGHTS ARE OFF (HEADLIGHTS/INTERIOR/ETC) EXCEPT THE DASH AND THE LIGHT THAT SHOWS IT'S IN PARK AND DISCONNECTED THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL SO I DON'T DRAIN THE BATTERY.

INTERMITTENT FAILING FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FOR VEHICLE AT LOW MILEAGE

VEHICLE HAS BEEN UNDER MULTIPLE RECALL REPAIRS RECENTLY AND WAS WORKING PROPERLY WHEN IT WAS LAST IN OUR POSSESSION. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALER FOR ANOTHER RECALL. WHEN THEY WERE DOING THEIR ROAD TEST, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THEY ARE NOW TELLING US THERE IS A NEED FOR A NEW MOTOR ($13,000 - $14,000). WHEN I WAS DISCUSSING THE ISSUE WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, THEY INFORMED ME THAT RECALL W58 HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN APPLIED TO SIMILAR RAM 1500S AND WOULD HAVE ADDRESSED THE EXACT ISSUE THAT WAS HAPPENING WITH MY VEHICLE. I AM REQUESTING REVIEW TO HAVE THE SAME RECALL ADDED TO VEHICLES THAT ARE SIMILAR TO MINE.

MY AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING, I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY FIXED A VALVE AND HOSE LEAK. AC STILL DIDN'T WORK. THEY REPLACED THE EVAPORATOR. ON THE WAY HOME FROM THAT, I SAW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ANTI SKID LIGHT WERE ON. THE DEALER FIXED THAT, THE NEXT DAY, I DISCOVERED MY PANEL DISPLAY (FOR RADIO AND REAR CAMERA VIEW) WAS BLANK, NOT WORKING. I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK IN AND WAS TOLD BY SERVICE REP IT MIGHT BE $800 FIX OR HE'D TRIED TO GET WARRANTY WHICH EXPIRED TO COVER IT FOR $50.I HAVE CALLED THE SERVICE DEPT AT DEALER TWICE WITHOUT A RETURN CALL SINCE THEN. I HAVE CHECKED ON-LINE AND FOUND SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. THIS OCCURRED WHEN DEALER WAS WORKING ON IT, TRUCK WAS STATIONARY AND ONLY TRAVELED TO AND FROM DEALER FROM/TO HOME.

AIRBAG CHECK LIGHT RANDOMLY GOES OFF AND ON WILL DRIVING. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER IN CAMBRIDGE,MN AND WAS TOLD PLUG CONNECTOR FOR AIRBAG UNDER FRONT PASSENGER SEAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY SO IT WOULD COST $650 ON TOP OF THE INSPECTION FEE I NOW OWE BECAUSE IT WASN'T A PROBLEM THAT WARRANTY COVERED. DENIED THE SERVICE, IF NEED BE I CAN FIX IT MYSELF AND BETTER THAN THEM JUST SETTING UP ANOTHER JUNK PLUG CONNECTOR TO PROBABLY GET SAME PROBLEM RETURN OF N NEW CONNECTOR.

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, FOLLOWED BY MY FUEL SENSOR FAILING AND SAYING THAT MY GAS TANK WAS EMPTY EVEN THOUGH I HAD 3/4 OF A TANK. NOW, MY ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON, BUT THE FUEL SENSOR WORKS AS LONG AS MY TANK IS COMPLETELY FULL. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 20 MILES POST-FILL UP, THE FUEL SENSOR STOPS WORKING AND READS ON EMPTY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE I CAN'T TELL HOW MUCH GAS IS IN MY VEHICLE UNLESS IT'S COMPLETELY FULL. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS LINE OF RAM TRUCKS.

FUEL SENSOR FAIL - READS ONLY UP TO A HALF A TANK OR MORE, ONCE BELOW THE SENSOR READS TANK AS EMPTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND HESITATED WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHILE ACCELERATING AT 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HESITATE WHILE HIS FOOT WAS ON THE ACCELERATOR, WITHOUT WARNING. DUE TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS. THE CONTACT HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THREE SEPARATE CHRYSLER DEALERS - TALLAHASSEE DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM FIAT (3987 W TENNESSEE ST, TALLAHASSEE, FL 32304), LAKE CITY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (4325 W US HWY 90, LAKE CITY, FL 32055), AND AN UNKNOWN CHRYSLER DEALER IN GEORGIA. EACH DEALER WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE OR DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT ALSO TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS ALSO UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V161000 (POWER TRAIN) WHICH HE LINKED TO HIS FAILURE HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 97,000. *BF CONSUMER STATED CAR HAS BEEN TRADED IN.*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 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. THE DEALER LITHIA GRANTS PASS AUTO CENTER (1421 NE 6TH ST, GRANTS PASS, OR 97526) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT PARTS WERE NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE COMPRESSOR ON THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION SYSTEM FAILS UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BE OUT OF LEVEL WHILE DRIVING, MAKING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD. THIS ISSUE CAN HAPPEN AT VARIOUS TIMES. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE WHEN ENTERING AND EXITING THE HIGHWAY. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE ENTERS WHAT IS CALLED "AERO MODE." THE "AERO MODE" LOWERS THE BODY OF THE TRUCK TO ACHIEVE BETTER AERODYNAMICS AND FUEL ECONOMY. AFTER SLOWING FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE RETURNS TO NORMAL RIDE HEIGHT. WITH THE COMPRESSOR FAILURE, THE VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO RETURN TO NORMAL RIDE HEIGHT.

I HAVE HAD A LOT OF RUST COMING FROM THE INSIDE OUT I HAD 3 SETS OF RUNNING BOARDS MY RIGHT FENDER MY HOOD AND NOW MY LEFT FENDER IS RUST FROM INSIDE OUT IT SEAMS TO MUCH RUST AND I WOULD LIKE IT REPAIRED AT NO CHARGE [XXX] MY VIN INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHEN I STOPPED THE TRUCK, I ACCIDENTALLY TURNED OFF THE KEY BEFORE PUTTING THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK. I SAW SMOKE COME FROM UNDER THE DASHBOARD AND SMELLED ELECTRICAL WIRES BURNING. THE TRANSMISSION DID GO INTO PARK. AFTER THAT THE TRUCK STARTED FINE, THE ONLY NOTICEABLE THING IS THE CRUISE CONTROL NO LONGER WORKS. FORTUNATELY NO ACTUAL VEHICLE FIRE RESULTED FROM THE INCIDENT. I AM TAKING THE TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE, THE DEALER HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE ISSUE, BUT WILL LOOK INTO IT.

RADIATOR CRACKED, 6 SPARK PLUGS AND 2 IGNITION COILS REPLACED. 1 WEEK LATER, STARTER FAILED. 1 DAY LATER ENGINE OVER HEATING, REPLACED RADIATOR COOLING FAN; NEXT DAY, STARTER FAILED AGAIN, AND ENGINE DECLARED COMPLETELY RUINED OR BAD. ENTIRE ENGINE BEING REPLACED WITH REBUILT AFTER 131,300 MILES AND 10 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP. FULLY MAINTAINED, BUT FAILURE UNEXPECTED AND WITHOUT WARNINGS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE SERVICE AIR BAGS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. SHEETS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (250 AUTO PLAZA DR, BECKLEY, WV 25801, (304) 252-4555) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULE WHICH WAS STILL PENDING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD GOING 50MPH THE POWER STEERING FAILURE LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH SCREEN AND THE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY FAILED. I WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE TRUCK AND WAS VERY CLOSE TO HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN BACK ON THE POWER STEERING WAS WORKING AGAIN. I CONTINUE TO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD AND ONCE AGAIN AT A SPEED OF FIFTY MILES PER HOUR THE STEERING FAILED COMPLETELY AND AGAIN I ALMOST WENT DOWN INTO A DITCH. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL DIFFERENT TIMES DURING SEVERAL DIFFERENT ACTIONS. IT'S HAPPENED WHILE TURNING WHILE GOING STRAIGHT WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND WHILE ON CITY STREETS WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE ENTIRE SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $2,400. MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ANY KIND OF AN ISSUE LIKE THIS AT ALL. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I AM ACTUALLY TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ON THE 2014 AS IT IS ON THE 2015 AND 16 RAMS. THERE ARE POSTINGS ALL OVER THE INTERNET OF PEOPLE DEALING WITH THE EXACT SAME THING YET DODGE HAS REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. PLEASE HELP MAKE MY VEHICLE SAFE FOR ME MY PASSENGERS AND OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD.

WHEN TURNING OR COMING TO A STOP, THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTER COMES OUT OF GEAR. THE DISPLAY ON THE DASH TELLS ME TO "SHIFT TO P TO START". THERE ARE TIMES WHERE I AM ABLE TO SHIFT TO P THEN RIGHT BACK TO D BUT OTHER TIMES WHEN I PUT IT TO P, I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE TRUCK THEN TURN IT BACK ON IN ORDER TO GO BACK TO D. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME WHEN DRIVING ON THE CITY STREETS MOSTLY BUT I HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN WHEN I WAS GETTING READY TO MERGE ONTO THE FREEWAY. I BELIEVE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION OR WITH THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT SACRAMENTO CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (3610 FULTON AVE, SACRAMENTO, CA 95821) UNDER AN UNKNOWN AIR BAG RECALL. SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED, THE CONTACT STATED THAT AT VEHICLE START-UP THE SERVICE PASSENGER AIR BAG MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE HE WAS ASSURED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.*DT*JB

MY DOOR LOCKS SOMETIMES WORK & SOMETIMES DO NOT. THIS OCCURS EITHER BY THE FOB OR THE PHYSICAL DOOR LOCK. IT SOMETIMES AFFECTS 1 DOOR & OTHER TIMES MULTIPLE DOORS BUT NEVER THE TAILGATE. I'VE READ THROUGH MULTIPLE FORUMS, THIS IS CAUSED BY THE BODY CONTROL MODULE.

NOT EVEN 80,000 ON MY TRUCK AND MY TRUCK HAS CAMSHAFT PROBLEMS IT'S IN THE SHOP NOW

FUEL SENSOR FAILURE.

CHECK ELECTRONIC BRAKING SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON AND CRUISE AND EVERYTHING GOES OUT. HAD BRAKES DONE, IT ALSO SAYS TOWING BRAKE. ON INTERSTATE FOR ABOUT 30 MINS AND IT DINGS, THE LIGHT COMES ON AND CRUISE STOPS

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK ON HIGHWAY WITH MY 12 AND 3 YR OLD DAUGHTERS. WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TURNED THE TRUCK OFF THEN RESTARTED THE TRUCK CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH A FUEL SENSOR MODULE WARNING. THIS HAPPENED. BEFORE WHEN THE TRUCK HAD ABOUT 27000 MILES AND IT WAS FIXED WHILE IN WARRANTY. HAD TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL SENSOR MODULE THE TRUCK NOW HAS 69971 MILES. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT IF THESE THINGS KEEP HAPPENING

ON JULY 11,2020,, I STARTED MY 2014 RAM 1500 LARAMIE,ABOUT NOON TIME AND STEERING WHEEL STRAIGHT; I WAS GREETED BY A WARNING LIGHT ON MY DASH STATING 'ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SERVICE'. THERE WAS NO ISSUE PRIOR TO THIS AT ANY TIME. ABSOLUTELY NO ABILITY TO STEER VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT DRIVING WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY AND MYSELF . I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE RECALL FOR THE 2015-2016 RAM DOES NOT INCLUDE 2014. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE WITH EARLIER YEAR MODELS. THE ESTIMATE TO REPAIR THIS MALFUNCTION WAS $2400 ! DODGE NEEDS TO STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS COMPLAINTS! NO WAY CAN A RECALLED PART ON NEWER MODELS NOT BE ISSUED FOR ALL MODELS CONTAINING THE EQUIPMENT?!? IT'S UNBELIEVABLE THAT SOMEONE HAS TO LOSE THEIR LIFE BEFORE SOMETHING IS CORRECTED!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY JERKED TO THE LEFT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. THE STEERING CEASED WITH SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT REGAINED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT SPOKE TO MIKE PERRY MOTOR COMPANY (3828 SOUTH ST, NACOGDOCHES, TX 75964) WHERE HE WAS INFORMED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE MANUFACTURER HAD YET TO BE INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING I HAD A SUDDEN FAILURE OF THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR UNIT ALONG WITH A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CAUSED THE FUEL GAUGE TO DROP TO EMPTY IMMEDIATELY AND THE DTE ESTIMATE TO SHOW LOW FUEL. WHEN NEW UNIT WAS PICKED UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP I WAS ADVISED THAT HE HAD BEEN SELLING A LARGE AMOUNT OF THE SPECIFIC PART AND TO HOLD ONTO MY RECEIPT SINCE IT HAD A 2 YEAR WARRANTY.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM FCA STATING THAT A FAULTY EGR COOLER CAN CAUSE FIRES AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE RECALL ALSO STATES THAT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I HAVE CONTACTED SEVERAL RAM DEALERS AND THEY ALL TELL ME THAT PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER AND THAT EACH DEALER ONLY GETS ONE SET OF PARTS PER WEEK. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT IT MAY BE AS LONG AS 6-8 MONTHS BEFORE MY TRUCK CAN BE ADDRESSED. MINE IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. AS A MEMBER OF A RAM FORUM OF 17K MEMBERS, THIS IS AN FREQUENT COMPLAINT. SINCE RAM KNOWS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE A FIRE, THEY SHOULD BE EITHER REPAIRING THE VEHICLES OR PROVIDING LOANER TRANSPORTATION UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE REPAIR CAN BE MADE.

THE FUEL SENSOR GAUGE IS DEFECTIVE. I HAVE 54,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND IT'S ONLY 6 YEARS OLD. THE GAS HAND WON'T WORK EITHER.

CONSTANT ISSUE WITH THE FUEL SENSOR FAIL, I'VE HAD 4 FUEL PUMPS PUT ON THE TRUCK IN THE SIX YEARS I'VE HAD IT. AT ONE POINT THE DEALER HAD MY TRUCK FOR A MONTH TRYING TO FIX. I JUST CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP LAST WEEK, PICKED IT UP FRIDAY AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON TODAY. IT'S A DEFECT WITH THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY THAT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO RECALL. THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND IDLE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I'M NOT THE ONLY OWNER WITH ISSUE IT'S COUNTLESS OTHERS, THAT'S HOW I FOUND MY WAY TO MAKE A COMPLAINT.

THE CHROME TRIM PIECE IN CENTER CONSOLE OF LERAMIE REFLECTS SUNLIGHT INTO YOUR EYES WHEN SUN HITS IT. MAKING DRIVER TO SHUT EYES OR GET HIM DISTRACTED FROM DRIVING. *TR

MY TRUCK KNOCKS WHEN STARTING ENGINE

I HAD MY END OR ENGINE OIL CHANGED AT A RAM DEALERSHIP IN NORTHFIELD MINNESOTA AT NORTHFIELD AUTOMOTIVE GROUP AND 132 MILES AFTER THE OIL WAS CHANGED BY THE DEALERSHIP MY ENGINE BLEW IT THROUGH A ROD THROUGH THE BLOCK

FUEL SENSOR FAILURE IS A COMMON FAILURE WITH DODGE RAM TRUCKS. DODGE RAM IS VERY MUCH AWARE OF THIS DEFECTIVE PART THAT IS A MONETARY BURDEN TO THE CONSUMER OF THIS TRUCK. ONCE IT COMES ON IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL YOU HAVE NO IDEA OF YOUR FUEL LEVEL. PROOF NEEDED JUST TYPE IN 2014 DODGE RAM FUEL SENSOR FAILURE IN YOUR SEARCH ENGINE ON YOUR COMPUTER!! ONLY OCCURS WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING. REPLACED AT 151,880 MILES AND NOW AT 162,000 IT'S GONE BAD AGAIN. PROBLEM FIRST APPEARED AT 40,000 MILES AND I BELIEVE DEALERSHIP SERVICE REPLACED SENSOR ON ONE OF MY SERVICE VISITS AND DIDN'T TELL ME BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE PROBLEM AGAIN UNTIL 151,880 MILES. I WAS HAVING OTHER ISSUES AT TIME AND I THINK THEY THOUGHT THIS WOULD SHUT ME UP !!

THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT 49K MILES ON MY 2014 RAM TRUCK. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ONLINE, IT'S A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. MOST COMMENTS SAY AROUND 35K TO 60K MILES ON RAM TRUCKS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO ZERO. AT MOST MECHANIC SHOPS, THE PRICE IS AROUND $800 FOR THE REPAIR. THE REPAIR CONSISTS OF TWO OPTIONS.... 1) DROP THE FUEL TANK FROM UNDER THE TRUCK AND REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP W/FUEL SENSOR. 2) UNBOLT THE BED AND BACK BUMPER IN ORDER TO RAISE THE BED COMPLETELY AND REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP W/FUEL SENSOR. THIS IS A MINOR ISSUE AND HAPPENING ALL OF THE TIME. IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE AND THIS MAY HAVE TO ME DONE EVERY 50K MILES OR SO. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE GOES TO ZERO AND GAS LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE GAS TANK GETS BELOW 3/4 TANK FULL, AND ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING, OR JUST SITTING IN DRIVEWAY. *TR

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE VB1 TO REPLACE EGR COOLER THAT MAY CAUSE ENGINE FIRE. THE RECALL SAYS THAT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I CONTACTED 2 DEALER AND HAD CHAT WITH FCA DIRECTLY. ALL OF THEM TOLD ME THAT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. NEITHER DEALER WOULD GIVE ME AN APPOINTMENT DATE AND SAID THAT THERE WERE MANY AHEAD OF ME. FCA SAID THAT PARTS ARE ALLOCATED AT 1 SET OF PARTS PER DEALER PER WEEK. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THESE TRUCKS ARE AT RISK FOR FIRE THAT COULD RESULT IN INJURY, BUT FCA IS NOT RESPONSIVE BY THE FACT THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT ON FOR TWO MONTHS,HAD A TECH LOOK AT IT CLOCK SPRING KIT SENSOR BAD ,HE SAID ODD AS TRUCK IS STILL PRETTY NEW, SAFETY CONCERN IT CONTROLS DEPLOYMENT OF AIR BAG,CONTROLS HORN, CRUISE CONTROL,AND ENGINE INTERFACE FUNCTIONS:OR OIL PRESSURE,OIL TEMP,TIRE PRESSURE DISPLAY ,THE FACT THAT THE SPRING SEMESTER CAN CONTROL THAT MANY SAFETY FEATURES AND FAIL. IN LESS THAN FIVE YEARS IS OF NEED TO INVESTIGATE AS REPAIRING IS ONLY DEALER PART AND COST IS. COST PROHIBITED AS MOST SAFETY FEATURES SHOULD HAVE A TEN YEAR LIFETIME AT LEAST.A REFRIGERATOR DOES AND IT RUNS 24/7. *TR

FUEL SENSOR FAILURE AT 45,000 MILES. SAME COMPLAINT AS SO MANY OTHERS. FULL TANK WILL DISPLAY AS FULL ON GAUGE. AFTER ONLY 20-30 MILES THE GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK UNTIL I'M STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MUST WATCH ODOMETER AND HOPE I MAKE IT TO FILL THE TANK WITHOUT ANY MISTAKES. *TR

AFTER WASHING MY VEHICLE WAS PULLING OUT THE CAR WASH AND LOST ALL STEERING ASSIST. CHECK VEHICLE TO LOCAL DEALER WAS TOLD OF NO RECALLS FOR THIS YEAR OF VEHICLE BUT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE 2015 RAM 1500 WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND SAME EXACT PART. COST TO REPAIR SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $2,400. *TR

LAST YEAR THEY DID AN EMISSIONS UPDATE ON MY TRUCK. SINCE THEN THERE IS TERRIBLE ACCELERATOR PEDAL LAG. I ALREADY HAD A DOZEN OR MORE CLOSE CALLS WHEN TRYING TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC. IT TAKES LITERALLY 2-3 SECONDS AFTER I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR FOR THE TRUCK TO START MOVING. IT MAKES DRIVING THE TRUCK DANGEROUS IN HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING THE FUEL TANK TO THE FULL LEVEL, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT AND FUEL SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE READ EMPTY.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF 70 MPH WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THE "POWER STEERING FAILURE" NOTIFICATION APPEARED ON MY DASH. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED A RAM DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME I SHOULD HAVE IT TOWED DO TO IT BEING UNSAFE TO DRIVE. AFTER GETTING IT TO THE DEALER, THEY TOLD ME MY POWER STEERING ASSEMBLY ($2400) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THERE ISN'T A RECALL FOR MY TRUCK. I CONTACTED MY WARRANTY COMPANY AND THEY SAID IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED DUE TO IT BEING A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE ISSUE.

FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT STOPPED WORKING. READS EMPTY. APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE.

DRIVERS SIDE REAR AIRBAG GOES FLAT INTERMITTENTLY. THIS MAY HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING OR WHILE PARKED AND NOT RUNNING. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND ANY LEAKS OR PROBLEMS. WHEN FLAT, EVEN IF COMPRESSOR IS RUNNING , IT WON'T REFILL. IT MAY STAY FLAT FOR MINUTES OR DAYS, AND THROUGH MANY DRIVING CYCLES THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT FILLS AND OPERATES NORMAL. NORMAL OPERATION MAY LAST FROM A FEW HOURS TO WEEKS. THEN IT DOES IT AGAIN. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS IT IS THE AIRPUMP OVERHEATING BUT THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE AS ONLY ONE SHOCK GOES FLAT AND DOESN'T RESPOND WHEN THE PUMP IS RUNNING. MANY PEOPLE REPORT THIS SAME PROBLEM ON THIS YEAR DODGE RAM TRUCK AND HAVE SAID REPLACING THE COMPRESSOR AND VALVE BODY DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. ONE PERSON REPORTED THAT THEY HAD THE CONTROL MODULE RE FLASHED AND IT FIXED THE ISSUE.

AT APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES THE FUEL GAGE BECAME ERRATIC AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS BEEN ON SINCE. THE TROUBLE MESSAGE SYSTEM INDICATES A FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAIL. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND A LOT OF OTHER RAM OWNERS INDICATE THIS PROBLEM. IT IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR REQUIRING THE BED TO BE REMOVED (COST TO REPAIR NEAR $1000). THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO POTENTIALLY RUNNING OUT OF GAS WHILE TRAVELING UNLESS THE OWNER IS DILIGENT ABOUT TRACKING MILEAGE AND FILLING UP EACH TIME THE MILAGE REACHES 275 MILES.

SINCE DAY ONE OF BUYING THIS VEHICLE IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR AIR SUSPENSION PROBLEMS SOMETIMES FOR A FEW WEEKS AT A TIME. SEEMS LIKE NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO DIAG THE SYSTEM BECAUSE IT WAS ALWAYS DARTS THROWN AND NO PROBLEMS EVER FIXED, THEY HAVE REPLACED AIRBAGS, COMPRESSOR, CHARGED THE SYSTEM, REPROGRAMMED/CALIBRATED THE SYSTEM AND WHO KNOWS HOW MANY FUSES! IVE GOTTEN AIR SUSPENSION CODES LEFT AND RIGHT WITH COMPRESSOR TEMP CODES... THE MAIN CONCERN IS THE WAY THIS VEHICLE DRIVES WHEN IT FALLS ON BUMP STOPS AND CHANGES THE CAMBER OF THE TIRES ( HAS RUINED A BRAND NEW SET OF TIRES DUE TO INSIDE TIRE WEAR ON BOTH FRONT ) TIRES ARE SCREECHING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, BOUNCES WHILE TURNING AND HITTING SMALL BUMPS... WELL THAT JUST MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE YOU GOT IN A CRASH WHEN IT THROWS YOU AROUND OUT OF SEAT! THATS EVEN AT LOWER SPEEDS AROUND 40-45 MPH! I ABSOLUTELY FEAR FOR MY LIFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND AT FREEWAY SPEEDS ITS JUST PLAYING WITH THE DEVIL. ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED BY THIS HORRIBLE AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM! THE PROBLEM IS NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE... WELL UNLESS IT WAS THEIR FAMILY MEMBER.THE SYSTEM WAS DESIGNED TO FAIL WHEN THEY PUT A COMPRESSOR BEHIND THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL THAT FLINGS WATER, SNOW, SALT AND EVERYTHING ELSE ON THE ROAD RIGHT AT IT AND PUT SOME THIN COVER OVER IT AND SAY IT " PROTECTS " IT! I SURE HOPE THEY DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED, BECAUSE ITS NOT FAIR TO ME OR ANY OTHER PERSON TO HAVE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND KNOW EVERYDAY WHEN GOING TO WORK THAT IT COULD BE MY LAST OR SOMEONES ELSE'S LAST! IVE GIVEN DEALERS SHOT AFTER SHOT YEAR AFTER YEAR, BUT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS ASAP

ELECTRICAL SEEMS TO HAVE AFFECTED 3 ITEMS ALL WITHIN THE LAST 6MONTHS AT DIFFERENT TIMES: NON-RELATED CATEGORIES -(ONE FOG LIGHT, FRONT AIR BAGS & DASH BOARD DIMMER SWITCH) # 1 - (FOG LIGHT) ONLY PASSENGER SIDE, CHECKED FUSES, WIRING AND BULB - ALL OK, # 2 (DIMMER SWITCH DOES NOT DIM DRIVER SIDE GAUGES/PANEL) AND # 3- AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT/- WARNING SYMBOL/PICTURE SHOWS FRONT AIR BAGS.

2014 RAM PICKUP WITH 68K MILES. DRIVING WITH 3/4 TANK OF GAS ON A FREEWAY AT 65 MPH AND THE FUEL GAUGE WENT TO E AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THEN A FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAIL WARNING POPPED UP. CALLED DEALERSHIP, SAID IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THEY REPLACE A LOT OF THESE A MONTH, BALLPARKED COST TO BE AROUND $1,000. SPOKE TO SEVERAL LOCAL MECHANICS THAT SAID THE EXACT SAME THING, KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE SENSOR THAT REQUIRES THE TANK TO BE DROPPED TO FIX. WHEN TANK IS FULL, TRUCK FUNCTIONS FINE. ONCE TANK DROPS TO APPROX. 3/4 OF A TANK, EVERYTHING COMES BACK (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAIL). CHRYSLER CANNOT BE PUTTING INFERIOR PARTS ON THEIR VEHICLES AND EXPECT CONSUMERS TO PAY FOR THEIR GREED.

PURCHASED THIS 2014 DODGE RAM 1500 DOUBLE CAB FROM FREMONT TOYOTA IN 11/2019. OWN 2/24/2020 I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO HAVE A FLAT FIXED AT FIRESTORN TIRE STORE A SALES REPRESENTATIVE WENT OUT TO INSPECT THE TIRE AND SAID IT SHOWED SIGNS OF DRY ROTTEN. AND LOOK AT THE REST OF TIRES AND SAID THEY WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. THEN I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND SPOKE WITH A SALES MANAGER, HE SAID HE WOULD PASS THE MESSAGE TO APPROPRIATE PERSON. THE RECEPTIONIST TOOK MY NUMBER A GAVE ME THE GENERAL MANAGER NUMBER, WHO I CALLED AND HE SAID UNFORTUNATELY A 30 DAY WARRANTY OWN USED VEHICLE AFTER I EXPLAINED WHAT WAS GOING, TELLING HIM, I NEVER HAD TO REPLACE TIRES OWN PREVIOUS CARD WITH IN 2 1/2 MONTHS. NO RESPONSE. HIS NAME IS [XXX], PHONE NUMBER [XXX]. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY A SHOP MANAGER THAT I SHOULD HAVE INSPECTED THE VEHICLE MY SELF. I TOLD HIM THATS NOT MY JOB. HE WAS VERY RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL. I DON'T HAVE 800.00 TO 900 DOLLARS. AND I AM A DISABLED VETERAN AND NEED TO GO TO HOSPITAL OWN A MONTHLY BASE TO HAVE MY BLOOD CHECKED BECAUSE I AM OWN WARFARIN A BLOOD THINNER MEDICATION. WITH TIRES THAT ARE DETERIORATING I CAN'T DO THAT. ARE THEY ALLOWED TO SALE A VEHICLE WITH 6 YEAR OLD TIRES OWN IT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I STARTED HEARING A KNOCKING SOUND FROM THE ENGINE. I TOOK IT IN TO THE SHOP AND FOUND THAT THERE WERE SEVERAL OTHER RECALL ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. CONSIDERING I USED MY VEHICLE FOR TYPICAL DRIVING, AND KEEP IT MAINTAINED WITH REGULARLY SCHEDULED SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGES, TIRES ROTATIONS AND FLUID REFILLS THAT IT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD ANY OF THE CURRENT ISSUES WRONG WITH IT. THE REP TRIED TO PROCLAIM THAT THE KNOCKING SOUND CAME FROM NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE ENGINE. I STRONGLY DISAGREED WITH HIM, THE $5500 ESTIMATED REPAIR COST AND DECIDED TO VOICE MY CONCERNS WITH COMING ON HERE TO REPORT IT. THE MOST ALARMING THING IS THAT THEY TRIED TO PRESSURE ME INTO STARTING THE REPAIR OF THE VEHICLE WHILE STATING THAT THEY NEEDED TO GET INTO THE ENGINE FIRST BEFORE THEY COULD DETERMINE IF THAT WAS ALL WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I'LL NEVER BUY A DODGE AGAIN AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE.

FUEL SENSOR FAILURE AT APPROXIMATELY 62,000 MILES. AT THE TIME OF OCCURRENCE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH AFTER COMPLETION OF A TURN. AFTER RESEARCH IT WAS DISCOVERED TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN 2014 DODGE RAM 1500. ON THE DATE OF 2/17/2020 THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FROM WHICH IT WAS BOUGHT AND PROBLEM WAS EXPLAINED, DEALER ADVISED A $600+ CHARGE TO REPAIR SAID DENSOR

I HAD JUST STARTED DRIVING WHEN I HIT THE BUTTON TO RAISE MY SUSPENSION, EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE WORKING AS NORMAL BUT THE TRUCK NEVER RAISED AND THE INDICATOR LIGHT FLASHED RAISING BUT NEVER STOPPED. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 5 MILES I STOPPED THE TRUCK TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED. THE INDICATOR STOPPED FLASHING,REMAINING IN OFF-ROAD 1, BUT THE FRONT WAS LOWER THAN THE REAR. I TRIED ADJUSTING AGAIN BUT NOTHING WORKED. GOT BACK ON THE ROAD AND GOT UP TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS TO SEE IF IT WOULD AUTO ADJUST BUT IT REMAINED IN OFF-ROAD 1, EVEN AT 70MPH. IT HAD BEEN BELOW FREEZING OVERNIGHT, BUT THE TEMP HAD RAISED ABOVE 45 WHEN THIS OCCURRED. A BIT OF A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE TRUCK DOESN'T HANDLE RIGHT, WHEN THE FRONT IS LOWERED TO EXIT LEVEL AND THE REAR IS IN OFF-ROAD 2.

BROKEN EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS

DURING COLD WEATHER (SUB 32F) AIR SUSPENSION WILL FAIL, CAUSING TRUCK TO SIT ON BUMP STOPS (SUSPENSION BOTTOMS OUT ON ONE OR MORE CORNERS, SOMETIMES ALL 4 CORNERS). HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING VERY ROUGH/BUMPY RIDE AND CAUSES POOR HANDLING IF IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING, AT VARIOUS SPEEDS RANGING FROM SUB 25MPH TO 70+MPH. CAN ALSO FAIL IF PARKED. ATTACHED IMAGE IS OF FRONT DRIVER TIRE BOTTOMED OUT SITTING IN GARAGE.

FUEL SENSOR FAIL OCCURS WHEN TANK GETS TO HALFWAY POINT; ONCE IT FAILS THE TANK APPEARS TO BE EMPTY AND A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. ME, ALONG WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHER DRIVERS EXPERIENCE THIS. MY VEHICLE STARTED EXPERIENCING THIS WITH ONLY 50,000 MILES, THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING AND THIS IS A DEFECTIVE UNIT. A FAILURE SUCH AS THIS CAN CAUSE HEADACHES TO DRIVERS BY GIVING THEM A FALSE SENSE OF WHAT IS ACTUALLY BEING PRESENTED TO THEM ON THEIR INSTRUMENT PANEL.

I WAS DRIVING MY RAM 1500 ECODIESEL TO AND FROM WORK AND NOTICED A KNOCKING SOUND. SCHEDULED A SERVICE APPOINTMENT AND THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED MY TRUCK WITH CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. A NEW ENGINE IS REQUIRED WITH A REPAIR BILL OF $12,370. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE, A LAW SUIT HAS BEEN FILED DUE TO CHRYSLER REFUSING TO COVER REPAIR COST. I FEEL CHRYSLER SOLD ME A LEMON, PLEASE CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 186,000. VIN UNAVAILABLE.

WHILE WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT AND THEN STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR THE RAM WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND DID NOT GO PAST 15 MPH. THE RAM DID NOT TURN ON ANY LIGHT TO NOTIFY ME OF AN ISSUE. I HAD TO FORCEFULLY TAKE IT OUT OF LIMP MODE THEREFORE RISKING THE TRANSMISSION TO GET DAMAGED. THERE WAS A BIG TRUCK BEHIND ME MAKING A LEFT WHO THANKFULLY NOTICED THE RAM STOPPED WORKING AND PATIENTLY WAITED FOR ME TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY. I TURNED IT OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN. SEEMS LIKE A RECALL ISSUE ON RAMS AS I HAVE BEEN READING THIS HAS HAPPENED TO HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE.

WHILE DRIVING THROUGH WEST VIRGINIA, PULLING MY SAILBOAT, I GOT A "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT; AS I WAS COMING UP TO THE BECKLEY SERVICE AREA, I DECIDED TO STOP, FIND AN AUTO PARTS STORE AND GET THE CODE READ. JUST AS I WAS ENTERING THE SERVICE AREA, I LOST POWER, SIMULTANEOUSLY HAVING THE DASHBOARD FLASH A "TPS SENSOR" WARNING, AS I DESCENDED INTO THE REST AREA, I REALIZED THAT I HAD ALSO LOST MY BRAKES (BUT NOT THE TRAILER BRAKES) AND THEN, WHILE COASTING INTO THE PARKING LOT, A WV TURNPIKE PU PULLED ALONGSIDE WITH THE DRIVER GESTICULATING AT ME, YELLING THAT I NEEDED TO GET OUT OF MY TRUCK, IT WAS ON FIRE. IMMEDIATELY UPON STOPPING, THE FRONT END BECAME ENGULFED IN FLAMES, ULTIMATELY BURNING COMPLETELY UP.

WHILE DRIVING TO THE AUTO PARTS STORE, TURNED AND STEERING WHEEL GOT REALLY HARD THAT I COULDN'T TURN IT JUMP THE CURB ALMOST HITTING A LIGHT POLE, TOOK THE TRUCK TO A FRIEND THAT HAS A SHOP AND FOUND CODE C221700 ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MODULE INTERNAL PROBLEM

THE HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT ADJUSTABLE. *JS

MY 2014 DODGE RAM BLOWS A POWDER OUT OF THE VENTS. I WAS DRIVING DOWN I5 DOING ABOUT 60 MPH AND MY HEATER KICKED ON BLOWING A WHITE POWDER FROM THE VENTS INTO MY EYES. I WAS TEMPORARILY BLINDED AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF MY TRUCK. I WAS ABLE TO SQUINT OUT OF 1 EYE AND GET PULLED OVER SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I BELIEVE MY CONTACTS SAVED MY EYES. AS THE EVAPORATOR STARTS BREAKING DOWN IT ALLOWS A POWDER TO FORM THAT CAN BLOW IN YOUR FACE. DODGE SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING INSTALLED IN FRONT OF THE EVAPORATOR THAT WOULD PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING.

COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE FUEL SENDER UNIT FAILED TO INDICATE THE FUEL LEVEL IN THE VEHICLE AS THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER (CLOVIS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM395 WEST HERNDON AVE, CLOVIS, CA 93612 (888) 696-0723) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT SUBJECTED TO A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000.

RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FCA, TITLED, APPROVED EMISSIONS MODIFICATION DISCLOSURE 3.0L DIESEL. TOOK LETTER AND VISITED DODGE DEALER, THEY DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE LETTER AND STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING WITHOUT A RECALL NUMBER. I HAVE SINCE MONITORED MOTOR FOR ANY SIGNS OF OVERHEATING OR LOSS OF COOLING FLUID. THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO HAVE LOW GAS MILEAGE, SHIFTS HARD AND AT HIGH RPM. WHEN FIRST STARTED IS SLUGGISH AND I HAVE TO DRIVE CAUTIOUSLY AS IT HESITATED ON TAKE OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (1-10 CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP/RAM, 79200 VARNER ROAD, INDIO, CA 92200), AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE SENSOR ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 144,000.

HAD AEM FLASH CAUSED 10-15% MPG LOSS AS WELL AS THROTTLE LAG,LOSS OF ACCELERATION FCA SAID THERE WOULD BE NO CHANGE IN PERFORMANCE OR MPG

MY VEHICLE LOST SIGNAL FROM THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR IN THE GAS TANK. THE SENSOR NOW ONLY WORKS WHEN THE TANK IS BETWEEN FULL AND 3/4 FULL. IT IS NOW UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS YOU DON'T KNOW HOW FAR YOU CAN TRAVEL BEFORE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. PEOPLE COULD BECOME STRANDED IN A DESOLATE AREA OR UNDER ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS AND NOT BE ABLE TO GET HELP.

MY TRUCK STARTED LEAKING COOLANT OUT THE REAR OF ENGINE DOWN TRANSMISSION AND ON THE GROUND AND MOTOR WOULDN'T HOLD ANY COOLANT IN IT SO I CALLED FCA CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY TOLD ME VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVEABLE TO GET IT TO RAM DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS IT'S BEEN SITTING THERE 9 DAYS NOW AND I CANT GET ANYBODY FROM DEALER OR CUSTOMER CARE TO GET IT WORKED ON AND DIAGNOSED IT'S UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY PLUS THE ECODIESEL SETTLEMENT EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR ALL PARTS OF POSSIBLE PROBLEM AND THEY WILL NOT LOAN ME A VEHICLE OF ANY KIND AND I'M IN NEED OF MY VEHICLE REPAIRED AND BACK TO BEING ABLE TO DRIVE IT ,I CALL RAM CUSTOMER CARE EVERYDAY AND KEEP GETTING TOLD NOTHING ABOUT IT GETTING REPAIRED OR PROBLEM LOCATED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWIN RIVERS CHRYSLER, JEEP, DODGE LOCATED AT 529 WEST COURT STREET BEATRICE, NE 68310, PHONE NUMBER (402)-228-3310, TO BE INSPECTED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE HYDRAULIC LIFTERS FAILED TO OPERATE AS INTENDED WHICH CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE CAMSHAFT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND A CASE WAS OPENED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

FUEL SENDING UNIT MALFUNCTIONS CAUSING THE FUEL GAUGE TO GO TO EMPTY AND BACK TO FULL

THE LIFTERS ON THE 2 CYL. THAT SHUT OFF TO SAVE FUEL FAILED AND RUINED THE CAM SHAFT. THIS HAPPENED ON MY 2010 AND NOW ON MY 2014. IT STARTED BY SKIPPING AN LOWER RPMS AS YOU SPEED UP OR ON AN INCLINE AND THEN ONE DAY IT SET A CHECK ENGINE LITE AND SKIPPED ALL THE TIME.

ERROR CODE P0463: FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH INPUT, THIS MEANS MY FUEL GAUGE IS EXPERIENCING FAILURES AND I CAN NOT ACCURATELY DETERMINE HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE VEHICLE. DOING A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH, THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2014 RAM 1500 5.7L. I'M AT ROUGHLY 68500 MILE ON MY TRUCK SO THE ISSUE IS ALSO OUT OF WARRANTY.

I HAVE A 2014 DODGE RAM 1500 LARAMIE LIMITED WITH THE AIR SUSPENSION OPTION. I BOUGHT IT 11 MONTHS AGO. IT WAS WINTER WHEN I BOUGHT IT, AND ON THE TEST DRIVE, I ATTEMPTED TO ADJUST THE SUSPENSION LEVEL AND IMMEDIATELY GOT THE WARNING MESSAGE THAT THE AIR SUSPENSION NEEDED TO BE SERVICED. THEY TOOK IT INTO THEIR SERVICE BAY AND REPLACED THE FUSE, WHICH TEMPORARILY RESOLVED THE ISSUE. AS THE WEATHER REMAINED COLD, HOWEVER, I GOT THE SAME MESSAGE AGAIN, SO CONTACTED THE DEALER AND TOOK IT BACK IN. I ENDED UP HAVING TO TAKE IT BACK IN MULTIPLE TIMES, WITH THEM "INSULATING A PART OF THE SYSTEM AND UPDATING THE ECU". AS THE WEATHER WARMED UP THROUGH THE SPRING AND SUMMER, NO ISSUES. FAST FORWARD TO THIS WINTER, ONCE THE WEATHER DROPPED BELOW FREEZING, THE SERVICE AIR SUSPENSION LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I CHECKED ALL FUSES, AND NONE WERE BLOWN, WHICH SEEMS TO BE THE COMMON FAULT THAT CAUSES THIS ERROR MESSAGE. I PULLED THEM AND REPLACED THEM TO TRY TO RESET THE SYSTEM, AND THE SYSTEM TRIED LOWER THE TRUCK, THEN RAISE IT, TO THE POINT WHERE IT FINALLY STOPPED WITH THE FRONT END COMPLETELY LOWERED ON THE BUMP STOPS, AND THE BACK END IN OFF-ROAD 2. THE HEIGHT INDICATOR STATED IT WAS IN OFF-ROAD 2, EVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, EVEN THOUGH THAT HEIGHT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO BE MAINTAINED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE SYSTEM ALSO CONTINUES TO TRY TO RAISE AND LOWER ON IT'S OWN, DOING SO FOR UP TO AN HOUR AT A TIME WHILE DRIVING. ALL THAT BEING SAID, THE VEHICLE IS BACK AT THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS, EVEN THOUGH THE FORUMS I'VE FOUND STATE THERE IS CURRENTLY NOT A PERMANENT SOLUTION FROM FCA. THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM IN ANY CLIMATE THAT DROPS BELOW FREEZING AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO VEHICLES AND LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IN SOME INSTANCES. I HOPE NO ONE HAS TO LOSE THEIR LIFE IN ORDER FOR THIS TO DEMAND A RESOLUTION FROM FCA.

AT ABOUT 49,000 MILES THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER DRIVING FOR SEVERAL DAYS THE LIGHT WOULD TURN OFF ON ITS OWN WHILE THE ENGINE WAS OFF. I THOUGHT THAT IT MAY BEEN THE GAS CAP, SO I REPLACED IT. THEN, WHILE DRIVING, THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT TURNED ON AGAIN, INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. I HAD IT CHECKED BY O' REILLYS AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE FUEL SYSTEM, PO463=2 6391451. WHEN I TURNED ON THE ENGINE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON. AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS I NOTICED THAT WHEN MY GAS WAS LESS THAN 3/4 FULL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON AGAIN, WHILE DRIVING. MY GAS GAUGE AND MILE RANGE DROPPED TO ZERO. WHEN I FILLED THE GAS TANK THE GAUGE WENT BACK TO FULL WITH THE NUMBER OF MILE RANGE. AGAIN, WHEN THE GAS WAS ABOUT 3/4, THE GAUGE DROPPED OFF. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS NOW REMAINED ON CONSTANTLY.

THE TRUCK HAS AN EXAUST LEAK. IT'S ON THE PASSENGER SIDE MANIFOLD. THE BOLT BROKE FOR SOME REASON AND IS A BIG COMMON ISSUE IN THESE TRUCKS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BECAUSE THE BOLTS USED WASNT STRONG ENOUGH TO WITH STAND PRESSURE AND CORROSION. MY CRUISE CONTROL ALSO NO LONGER WORKS LIKE IT SHOULD. IT WILL GO INTO CRUISE CONTROL VERY RARELY AND WHEN IT DOES IT'S HARD TO GET IT OUT. I HAVE TO SHUT THE TRUCK OFF MOST OF THE TIME TO GET IT OUT OF CRUISE CONTROL MODE. THE LIGHTS THAT LUMINATE THE PRESS BUTTONS IN THE STEERING WHEEL FLICKER RANDOMLY. SO IT TELLS ME IT MUST BE A WIRING ISSUE OF SOME SORT. I'VE CONTACTED A DODGE DEALER SHIP AND THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT AS THEY SAY IT'S NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I'M AFRAID WITH THE EXAUST LEAK THE EXTRA HEAT IN THE ENGINE BAY MAY RESULT IN MELTED WIRES OR EVEN WORSE A FIRE. THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING THIS PROBLEM.

2014 ECODIESEL RECEIVED AN UPDATE / REPROGRAMMING OF ENGINE CONTROL UNIT (ECU) AND NOW HAS SERIOUS DRIVABILITY ISSUES, ESPECIALLY WHEN COLD. THROTTLE RESPONSE IS DELAYED AND, IF TRYING TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC, IS DANGEROUS DUE TO THE DELAY IN THROTTLE RESPONSE. IN ADDITION TO DRIVABILITY ISSUES, THE FUEL MILEAGE HAS DECREASED SIGNIFICANTLY, PROBABLY 20%.

TRAILER BRAKE WARNING CAME ON AND IT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF MY CRUISE CONTROL. I JUST HAD THE BRAKES REDONE A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE, AND IT USUALLY AFTER A RECALL FOR CODE UPDATING IS DONE. I WAS ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY DOING 70MPH WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE NHTSA HOTLINE FOR ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

THE VEHICLE LISTED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS HAS COMPLETELY SHUT-OFF AS MY SPEED IS REDUCED WHILE MAKING A TURN OR COMING TO A STOP AT SPEEDS BELOW 15. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR CODES HAVE BEEN RECOVERED TO SHOW IF SOMETHING IS MALFUNCTIONING OR IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.

1. HAD TO REPLACE THE EXHAUST SYTEM BECAUSE THE AUTOMATIC EXHAUST STOPPED WORKING AFTER TOWING THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER TO CREATE A FORCED REGEN 2. REPLACED 2 TURBOS 3. AFTER EMISSION RECALL WAS COMPLETED, ENGINE WAS LOOSING ANTIFREEZE AND OVERHEATED. ADDED ANTIFREEZE SEVERAL TIMES AND THEN THE ENGINE STARTED BLOWING WHITE SMOKE, ENGINE KNOCKING LIKE A LOOSE CRANK OR ROCKER ARM TRUCK LOST COMPLETE POWER. THE TRUCK WAS DELIVERED TO RAM DEALER IN RIVERHEAD, AFTER SPENDING 1600 DOLLARS FOR ENGINE DIAGNOSIS, WHICH WAS CLEAR APPARENT TO ANYONE , THE SAID ENGINE WAS NO GOOD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, AN AUDIBLE CHIME WAS HEARD AND THE FUEL LEVEL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,000.

THE FIRST TIME I HADE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION WAS WHEN THE TEMPURAS GOT BELOW FREEZING. NOW I CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY TRUCK WILL LOWER ALL THE WAY DOWN WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THIS MAKES THE TRUCK TO LOOS CONTROL GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT HIGH SPEEDS. I HAVE HADE IT IN THE SHOP TO GET IT FIXED BUT IT STILL IS DOING THE SAME THING.I SEEN ON LINE WHERE OTHER PEOPLE HAS HADE THE SAME THING HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING. IT WILL ALSO LOWER ITS SELF ALL THE WAQY DOWN TO EXIT MODE WHILE PARKED AT TIMES

ON 5/23/19 I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER WHERE I'D BOUGHT IT NEW TO FIX A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT WAS ON.AFTER THE ISSUE WAS FOUND AND REPAIRED, I PICKED THE TRUCK UP AND WAS TOLD A TRANS UPDATE(RECALL # U07) WAS ALSO DONE. AS SOON AS I PULLED INTO LIGHT TRAFFIC,I NOTICED THE THROTTLE PEDAL WAS UNRESPONSIVE AND THE TRUCK WAS SLUGGISH AND SLOW TO ACCELERATE.IT ALSO SHIFTED UP AND DOWN A LOT MORE THEN IT NORMALLY DOES ALL THE WAY HOME.I THOUGHT MAYBE THE TRANS HAD TO RE LEARN IT'S SHIFT PATTERN AND WOULD GET BETTER AFTER I PUT SOME MILES ON IT JUST AS IT DID WHEN NEW. OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS IT DIDN'T GET ANY BETTER AND PULLING ONTO THE STATE HIGHWAY FROM A TOWN ROAD HAS LEAD TO SOME CLOSE CALLS AS IT'IS A LIMITED SIGHT STOP SIGN INTERSECTION. I HAVE TO DO THIS EVERY TIME I GO TO WORK OR LEAVE MY HOUSE FOR ANY OTHER REASON. THIS IS NOT A ONE TIME HAPPENING BUT EVERY TIME I NEED TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC OR GET UP TO SPEED QUICKLY. AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS I FIGURED OUT SOMETHING WAS WRONG AND THE TRUCK WASN'T GOING TO GET BETTER ON IT'S OWN,I CALLED THE DEALER TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT AND CHECK IT OUT.I ALSO ASKED IF I COULD HAVE THE EPA MANDATED AEM(RECALL #V08) FLASH PERFORMED AT THE SAME TIME AND WAS GIVEN AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE FOLLOWING WEEK. A FEW MINUTES LATER THE DEALER'S SERVICE MANAGER CALLED BACK AND INFORMED ME THE AEM UPDATE HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED ON THE 5/23/19 SERVICE VISIT AND THE CHANGE(LOSS) IN PERFORMANCE WAS MOST LIKELY THE RESULT. SINCE I WAS UNAWARE THE AEM UPDATE HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED,I KNEW THE LOSS IN PERFORMANCE WASN'T MY IMAGINATION. I ALSO NOTICED A LOSS OF ABOUT 15% FUEL MPG AND THE TRANS.SHIFTS UP AND DOWN A LOT MORE WHICH IS MORE OF AN AGGRAVATION THEN A SAFETY ISSUE. I WISH THE TRUCK COULD PERFORM AS IT DID BEFORE THE AEM UPDATE AS WAS PROMISED BY FCA AND ALSO BE EMISSION COMPLIANT. I THOUGHT I KNEW WHAT I WAS GETTING.

HORN NO LONGER WORKS, BY PUSHING IT OR WITH KEY FOB LOCKING WHEN LOCKING MY TRUCK. I'VE READ THAT THIS HAS HAPPEN ON MULTIPLE RAM 1500S. MY JUST STOP WHEN EXITING MY TRUCK AND I NOTICE I DIDNT GET ANY BEEP WHEN TRYING TO SECURE MY TRUCK. CHECKED EVERY FUSE, RELAY, EVEN TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM. ONLY HAD THE TRUCK FOR 4 WEEKS AND THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $600. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I SHOULDN'T BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A HORN NOT BEEPING..

WAS TOLD THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLT/STUDS WARPED AND SNAPPED AND THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS WARPED, THIS HAPPENED ON THE DRIVER SIDE FIRST BUT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT NOW HAPPENING ON DRIVER SIDE OUT OF WARRANTY. WAS TOLD MY DEALERSHIP THEY SEE THIS OFTEN AND WAS TOLD FCA HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM IN NEWER YEARS BY USING STRONGER MATERIAL IN THE BOLTS. THIS INFORMS ME THAT FCA KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM BUT THE DEALERS WON'T COVER IT AS A DESIGN DEFECT. CLEARLY THERE IS A DESIGN DEFECT WITH THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS AS THEY SHOULD NOT BE DOING THIS AND MANUFACTURES ARE SUPPOSE TO ACCOUNT FOR THESE PARTS TO SEE EXTREME TEMP CHANGES. THIS HAS HAPPENED NOW TWICE TO ME BUT BECAUSE I AM NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY THEY WON'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THE FIST TIME WAS BEFORE 60,000 MILES AND NOW THE OTHER SIDE IS HAPPENING AT 76,000 MILES. TO SUMMARIZE THE PROBLEM IS WARPED EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS AND THE MANIFOLD ITSELF.

NOTICED A SMALL LOSS OF RADIATOR FLUID, NO VISIBLE LEAK, BUT DID RECEIVE LETTER RELATING TO A DIESEL EGR COOLER DEFECT. NOW AM CONCERNED ABOUT STEAM LEAKING INTO MY ENGINE OIL AND THUS CONTAMINATING THE ENGINE OIL WITH DAMAGING EFFECTS ON THE ENGINE INTERNAL PARTS. EGR VALVE SHOULD ALSO BE EVALUATED AS IT DIRECTLY EFFECTS EGR COOLER.

WHILE DRIVING, FUEL SENSOR FAIL NOTICE DISPLAYED ON DASH AND FUEL GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY.33,000 MILES ON 2014 RAM 1500. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FAULTY FUEL SENDING UNIT RESISTANCE UNIT. DEALER WANTS $800 TO FIX.

THIS TRUCK HAS A AIR SUSPENSION THAT INFLATES AND DEFLATES ALL OF THE TIME, I AM AFRAID OF DRIVING THE TRUCK IN FEAR OF AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE TRUCK AIR SUSPENSION THE LEFT REAR DEFLATES AND HITS METAL TO METAL MAKING IT VERY SQUIRRELY. IT SEEMS THAT IT NOBODY KNOWS HOW TO FIX THIS, PLEASE HELP. THIS HAPPENS MAINLY WHEN IT IS IN MOTION

WATER PUMP AND THERMOSTAT ON DODGE RAM 1500. I HAVE SPOKEN TO MANY DEALERS AND OWNERS OF DODGE RAM. EVEN THE WATER PUMP IS ON BACK ORDER THAT'S HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE ISSUES WITH IT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN OR PARKED, THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION DEFLATED WHEN THE TEMPERATURE WAS BELOW FREEZING. THE SERVICE AIR SUSPENSION WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LEE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (765 CENTER ST, AUBURN, ME 04210, (207) 783-2291) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE NITROGEN WAS LOW. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, IT EMITTED A LOUD NOISE WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT A BOLT WAS FRACTURED IN THE MANIFOLD. THE CONTACT WAS GIVEN A COST ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIRS. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH EARNHARDT CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (1521 E DRIVERS WAY, GILBERT, AZ 85297, (480) 926-4000) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE BOLT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BEGAN TO PULSATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS AND OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND IDLING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,900.

SIMILAR TO NHTSA ISSUE # 11287014 DATED 12/5/19 ON A RAM. TWICE, I'VE PARKED MY TRUCK ON AN INCLINE (TWO DIFFERENT DRIVEWAYS), I'VE PUT THE CAR IN PARK, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND REMOVED THE KEYS AND GOTTEN OUT THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK THEN STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS, BOTH INSTANCES I JUMPED BACK IN AND PUSHED THE BREAK TO STOP THE TRUCK, SO I DO NOT KNOW HOW FAR IT WOULD HAVE ROLLED. IT DID ROLL AT LEAST 2 FEET BEFORE I GOT IT STOPPED. I DO NOT KNOW THE DATES OF THE INCIDENTS

SUSPENSION SYSTEM (AIR BAGS) GO OUT. THE SYSTEM COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN AND TRUCK WILL HIT THE ROAD (EVEN FLAT NEW ROAD) REALLY HARD WITH ANY BUMP. USUALLY IT STARTS WITH ONE SIDE THE DRIVER BACK SIDE AND EVENTUALLY BOTH AIR BAGS GO OUT. IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IF A LITTLE BUMP CAN MANAGE TO MOVE MY STEERING, A BIG POT HOLE CAN MAKE MY WHOLE TRUCK CHANGES LANES. THE SYSTEM DETECTS THE MALFUNCTION AFTER 3 USES AND SAYS "SUSPENSION OVERHEATED" SUSPENSION COOLING". THIS HAPPEN EVERY DAY FOR THE LAST 2 MONTHS . THE MORE USE IN THE DAY, THE MORE PULL, THE MORE WEIGHT, IT GOES OUT. I CAN'T USE THE TRUCK FOR WHAT IS FOR AND NOW IS ONLY A CARPOOL TRUCK. DODGE RAM LONGHORN 2014

WHILE DRIVING THE 2014 RAM 1500 THE VEHICLE HAS LOST POWER NUMEROUS TIMES. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE ON THE SPOT. THIS MEANS THAT THE LOSE OF POWER CAN HAPPEN AT ANY GIVEN TIME. THIS LOSE OF POWER WILL RESULT IN LOSING STEERING AND SOMETIMES BRAKING, SINCE ALL ARE CONTROLLED BY ELECTRONICS. THESE OCCURRENCES HAVE HAPPENED WHILE NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS; ROLLING UP WINDOWS, TURNING ON BRIGHT LIGHTS, AND JUST DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V757000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING); HOWEVER, THE PART FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED A BURNING ODOR COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND NOTICED FLAMES UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. THE CONTACT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE WITH WATER. A FIRE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE INTAKE MANIFOLD MELTED AND CAUSED THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, INVESTIGATED THE FAILURE, AND OPENED A CASE; HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER DENIED THE CLAIM AFTER THE INVESTIGATION. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. I BELIEVE IT STARTS WITH THE 2009 MODEL YEAR TO THE 2018 MODEL YEAR. RAM FORUMS HAVE SHOWN THAT OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE BEGIN FROM 20K MILES AND UP FROM THERE. THE ISSUE IS THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD STOP FUNCTIONING AND READ EMPTY. CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON WHICH CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO NO LONGER OPERATE IN ECO ( DESCRIBE 4 CYLINDERS FOR BETTER FUEL ECONOMY) MODE UNTILL THE ISSUE IS RESOLVED. SOME OWNERS AS WELL AS MY SELF HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE STALL OUT, FORCING ME TO NAVIGATE TO THE SHOULDER BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. USUALLY STARTS RIGHT UP AND THE CHECK ENGINE WILL REMAIN ON. WITH MY VEHICLE IF THE TANK IS FULL THE GUEST WORKS AND I DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM UNTILL 40-60 MILES INTO DRIVING WHERE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME BACK ON AND AT TIMES CAUSING THE STALL. OTHER OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THAT THE GUAGE DOES NOT WORK 100% OF THE TIME. THERE IS A BIG NUMBER OF OWNERS WHO HAVE JUST GOTTEN IT FIXED BUT MOST JUST LIVE WITH THE ISSUE SINCE IT'S NOT CAUSING A STALL. I CANNOT STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF A RECALL ON THESE RAMS FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE DEALING WITH THE ISSUE . AND THE NUMBER OF UN REPORTED CLAIMS TO YOUR AGENCY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS FOR THE MANY OWNERS WHO HAVE FAILED TO REPORT TO YOU THIS ONGOING PROBLEM THAT THE DEALERSHIPS AND FIAT IS WELL AWARE OF. THEY HAVE EVEN ADVISED PEOPLE THAT THE NHTSA ISSUES RECALLS NOT THE COMPANY. JUST SEEMS LIKE THEY ARE WAITING FOR YOUR AGENCY TO ISSUE ONE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND FOR THE ORGANIZATION YOU WORK FOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: V08 (EMISSIONS); HOWEVER, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED EVER SINCE THE REMEDY WAS PERFORMED. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS SPUTTERING WHILE DRIVING AND FUMES WERE PRESENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL ECONOMY WENT FROM APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES PER GALLON TO 16 MILES PER GALLON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BONIFACE-HIERS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP (1775 E MERRITT ISLAND CAUSEWAY, MERRITT ISLAND, FL 32952, (321) 452-8181) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE SOFTWARE UPDATE PER THE MANUFACTURER RECALL WAS UPDATED CORRECTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CONSTANTLY GOES IN AND OUT ON THIS VEHICLE LEAVING THE GAS GAUGE INOPERABLE LEAVING DRIVERS GUESSING HOW MUCH FUEL IS ACTUALLY IN THE TANK. WHEN TANK IS COMPLETELY FULL THE GAUGE WORKS FINE AS SOON AS THE NEEDLE STARTS TO MOVE FROM FULL THE VEHICLE CHIMES AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON THE GAS GAUGE INSTANTLY DROPS TO EMPTY AND THE DASH READS FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAIL THIS IS KNOW TO BE A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE WITH FCA AND THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO REMEDY THE PROPLEM

THE STEERING OF THE WHEEL IS ROUGH. I HAVE TO USE SMALL MOVEMENTS. IT'S LIKE SOMETHING IS STUCK OR NO POWER STEERING FLUID. SINCE THERE IS NO FLUID, ONLY ELECTRICAL, THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL PORTION OF THE POWER STEERING PUMP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS WERE CRACKING, WHICH CAUSED FUMES TO LEAK INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND THE WARRANTY EXPIRED TWO MONTHS AGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REPAIRS COMPLETED UNDER THE WARRANTY WERE STILL FAILING. DIEHL CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF ROBINSON (6181 STEUBENVILLE PIKE, MCKEES ROCKS, PA 15136, (412) 722-1800) ACKNOWLEDGED THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT IT OCCURRED OFTEN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

AFTER PARKING MY VEHICLE IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH THE REAR ON THE UPPER SIDE OF A SLIGHT INCLINE AND PLACING THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND SHUTTING ENGINE OFF, THE VEHICLE STRARTS ROLLING DOWNWARD FOR APPROXIAMATELY 5 TO 7 FEET, EVENTUALLY STOPPING. FIRSTED NOTICED YESTERDAY, 12/3/19 AND THEN AGAIN TODAY.THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AND A SAFETY CONCERN. I READ ON ONLINE THAT IT MAY BE RELATED TO ISSUES WITH THE BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK.

WHILE DRIVING AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS FOR APPROXIMATELY 130 MILES (2.5 HOURS), VEHICLE SPUTTERED AND LOST POWER, IT STABILIZED AT~40 MPH. A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND RED LIGHTING BOLT DISPLAYED. WE EXITED THE INTERSTATE AND MADE COURSE TO A DEALERSHIP UTILIZING SMALLER HWYS. EN-ROUTE TO THE REPAIR SHOP, AT ABOUT 40 MPH, VEHICLE STARTED EMITTING SMOKE TO INCLUDE INSIDE THE CABIN. STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND EVACUATED ALL 4 PEOPLE INSIDE. FLAMES AND HEAVY SMOKE SOON BECAME VISIBLE AS WE WATCHED FROM AFAR. LARGE FLAMES GREW AND QUICKLY ENGULFED THE WHOLE VEHICLE. FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AND PUT OUT THE FIRE.

DRIVING ON HWY 17 DOWN A RAMP, THROTTLE SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON AND TRUCK STALLED OUT. RESTARTED TRUCK TO PULL OFF HWY/RAMP TO SAFER LOCATION, NOTICED THICK BL SMOKE BILLOWING OUT FROM UNDER HOOD. PULLED INTO PARKING LOT, LIFTED HOOD TO SEE FLAMES COMING OFF ENGINE. BYSTANDER CALLED 911 WHILE I GOT A BUCKET OF WATER. THREW BUCKET OF WATER ONTO ENGINE WHILE POLICE AND FIRE DEPT FINISHED EXTINGUISHING. FIRE DEPT STATED THEY HAVE SEEN A FEW ECO FIRES. TOWED TO HENDRICK'S, CONTACTED RAM. RAM STATED NO NEED TO CONTACT INS CO (THEY WILL HANDLE IT). THOUGHT THIS WAS STRANGE, CONTACTED INS CO ANYWAYS. INSPECTED BY 2 FIRE SPECIALISTS, INS CO AND RAM. INS CO STATED MANUFACT DEFECT, RAM STATED LEAKY INJECTOR (WHICH WERE REPLACED BY RAM 18K MI PRIOR AT DEALERSHIP). I SUSTAINED SMOKE INHALATION AND 1ST DEGREE BURNS TO FACE,NECK,LT ARM AND HAD/HAVE HEADACHES. TRUCK WAS STILL UNDER 100K WARRANTY WITH ONLY 40K. RAM DENIED OPENED CLAIM AND WARRANTY. INS CO TOTALED TRUCK OUT, THEY STILL HAVE AN OPEN CLAIM AGAINST RAM. ADDITIONALLY RAM DENYING MY EMISSIONS SETTLEMENT OF 3K ONLY OFFERING 900 (STATING EMISSIONS WORK COULDN'T BE DONE DUE TO FIRE CLASSIFYING ME AS A PREVIOUS OWNER ALTHOUGH I WAS CURRENT OWNER EVEN AT THAT TIME). I STILL HAVEN'T SETTLED EMISSIONS. RECENTLY RAM HAS RECALLED ALL 108K ECO-DIESELS 2014-19 FOR FIRE HAZARD. MY TRUCK FITS THE DESCRIPTION FOR WHAT HAPPENS AND ALWAYS NEEDED A LITTLE COOLANT WITH MAINT, INSP, OIL CHANGES. I PAID OFF MY TRUCK BEFORE, AND NOW HAVE A PAYMENT WITH WHAT I CONSIDER A LESSER TRUCK. WHEN I CALL FCA AND GIVE MY INFO THEY OFTEN HANG UP, ACT LIKE THEY CANT HEAR ME, OR STATE THEY ARE TRANSFERRING ME TO MANAGER (HANGING UP ON ME). ALSO STATING SOMEONE WILL GET BACK TO ME, BUT NEVER ANY RETURNED CALL (SUPPOSED TO GET A CALL TOMORROW, WILL SEE).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 19V347000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) AND 19V757000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE CONTACT CALLED BONNEVILLE AND SON CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM AT 877-812-7782 (LOCATED AT 625 HOOKSETT RD, MANCHESTER, NH 03104) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE COOLANT LEVEL OF THE VEHICLE WAS LOW. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE FOR 19V757000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT FOR 19V347000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES).

THE ODB HARNESS PLUG IN THAT THE READER PLUGS IN IS CORRODED AND THE READER WILL NOT WORK.THEY CAN NOT PLUG IN TO DO THE RECALLS. TRUCK HAS 32000 MILES AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN KEPT IN A GARAGE AND DRY. THEY WANT 836.36 TO REPLACE AND WILL NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY. IT IS UNDER THE DASH UNDER STEERING WILL AND SHOULD NOT HAVE CORRODED.

AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM FAILED. THE ISSUE HAPPENS AT RANDOM AND CAN BE STATIONARY OR TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ALL AIR IS EMPTIED FROM THE SYSTEM CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BOUNCE AROUND UNCONTROLLABLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE FRAME OF THE TRUCK WILL BE RESTING ON THE AXLE DIRECTLY. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE RAM DEALER FOR REPAIR AND AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, CHANGING OUT SERVAL COMPONENTS THEY CAN NOT FIGURE OUT WHY THE TRUCK IS LOOSING AIR. THE DEALER NOW TELLS ME THAT WITHOUT A CODE IN THE SYSTEM THEY CAN NOT REPAIR IT EVEN THOUGH I SHOW THEM PICTURES WITH DATE AND TIME THAT THE SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING AND THE FRAME IS SITTING DIRECTLY ON THE AXLE.

I HAVE A 2014 RAM WITH AROUND 48K MILES. BACK IN FEBRUARY WHILE DRIVING I LOST STEERING. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF A ONCOMING VEHICLE. I HAD MY TRUCK TOWED DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUE OF NOT BEING ABLE TO STEER INTO MY NORMAL SERVICE DEALER. THEY REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR STATING THAT WAS THE ISSUE THAT MADE THE TRUCK LOSE STEERING. SINCE THEN I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK BACK A FEW TIMES WITH STEERING ISSUES AND THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO 'DUPLICATE' THE ISSUE SO CANNOT FIX IT. THIS PAST FRIDAY 11/15/2019 I WENT TO LEAVE MY HOUSE AND ONCE AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK IT LOST STEERING AND THIS TIME POWER DROPPED. I AGAIN HAD IT TOWED INTO THE SERVICE DEALER ON 11/18/2019. TODAY 11/22/2019 THEY STATED THAT AGAIN THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. THEY DID FIND ERROR CODES ABOUT VOLTAGE BUT HOWEVER STATED THAT THE COMPUTER 'FIXED ITSELF' AND CANNOT FIX THE STEERING ISSUES. WITH ALL THIS I LOVE MY TRUCK, HOWEVER WITH THE WITH THE SAFETY OF MYSELF, MY FAMILY, AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD IN MIND DRIVING THIS TRUCK WHILE THE STEERING CAN POSSIBLY GO OUT AT ANY TIME IS NOT A GOOD IDEA BY ANY MEANS.

I WAS DRIVING AND THE TRUCK STARTED TO IDLE HIGH AND THEN BLEW A BIG CLOUD OF SMOKE LIKE IT WAS ON FIRE I SHUT IT OFF AND IT WOULD NOT RESTART. I TOOK IT BACK TO WHERE I BOUGHT IT TO HAVE THE WARRANTY FIX IT BUT THEY ARE STATING THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL FOR THE INTAKE MANIFOLD CATCHING FIRE AND WILL NOT FIX IT AND THERE IS NO FIX FOR A BASED ON THE RECALL INFO

VB1 RECALL IS HAPPENING TO MY TRUCK AND STILL UNKNOWN SOLUTION AND PARTS AREN'T AVAILABLE. IS THE TRUCK OK TO DRIVE, WILL IT BE ON FIRE? BULLETPROOF DIESEL LOOKS LIKE A GREAT OPTION.

THE RADIO JUST STOPS WORKING. I HAVE THE CONNECT 5.0 MY SCREEN WILL FLASH BACK AND FOURTH FROM THE BACK UP CAMERA TO A BLUE SCREEN WHILE I'M DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ENGINE MISFIRED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO IDLE ROUGHLY, SHUDDER, AND EXHIBIT POOR ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LITHIA DODGE JEEP (5001 GRIZZLY CT, MISSOULA, MT) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE CYLINDER HEAD AND VALVE TRAIN WERE FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: FCA-68094470, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

FUEL GAUGE MISS READS, COMMON PROBLEM IN RAMS. FUEL LEVEL NOT KNOWN. 15K MILE 2014 RAM 1500.

WASN'T SURE IF THIS FELL UNDER POWER TRAIN OR ENGINE ITSELF. 2014 RAM 1500 3.6L ENGINE. OIL FILTER HOUSING IS PLASTIC. NOTICED AN OIL LEAK UPON CHANGING OIL. BROUGHT TO DEALER AND HOPED IT FELL UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. DID NOT QUALIFY SO I'M OUT ALMOST 1,000 FOR THE REPAIR. RESEARCHING, THIS IS A KNOWN COMMON PROBLEM. DEALER ATTRIBUTED IT TO BEING OVER TIGHTENED FILTER HOUSING. WELL RESEARCH SHOWS THIS HAPPENS DUE TO THE TEMPERATURE CYCLING OVER TIME. OIL LEAKING ONTO THE ENGINE MANIFOLD CREATES A FIRE HAZARD UNDER THE PROPER CONDITIONS. MANUFACTURER SHOULD PUT FORWARD A RECALL TO REPLACE THE HOUSINGS OR DESIGN ONE THAT IS METAL FOR AN ADEQUATE REPLACEMENT.

GETTING WARNING TO IMMEDIATELY SERVICE AIR SUPENSION SYSTEM, WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. CHECKED OBD-II READER AND ZERO CODES COME UP. READ RAM FORUMS WITH SEVERAL COMPLAINST, ALL STATING ISSUE WHEN TEMPERATURES WERE NEAR FREEZING. MINE STARTED TO SHOW MESSAGES AFTER OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DROPPED TO AND BELOW FREEZING.

BOUGHT TRUCK 4 MONTHS AGO, HAS BEEN BROKE DOWN NOW AS OF TODAY 5 TIMES. THIS TRUCK HAS LOST FUEL MILEAGE, POWER, AND HAS ALMOST COST LIVES, WHEN YOU PUSH ON THE GAS, NOTHING, AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT WILL GO, THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, I HAVE BEEN IN FRONT OF A SEMI MOVING WIND TURBINES AND ALMOST KILLED, THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN TOWED SEVERAL TIMES, IN THE SHOP BROKE DOWN ALL AFTER RECALL, THIS TRUCK WILL COST LIVES, I HAVE TRIED CONTACTING SEVERAL PEOPLE, I GET NOTHING, MY NEXT MOVE IS GOING TO SHOW VIDEOS AND UPDATED INCIDENTS, AND INFORMATION ON ALL STEPS, LAST RESPONSE WAS MY CASE HAS BEEN CLOSED, PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THE ACTION TAKEN ON THIS AND THE LIVES AFFECTED. THE MOST RECENT ACTION WAS A COUPLE WEEKS AGO, I AM A PILOT ESCORT FOR GE WIND INDUSTRY, I WAS NEEDED TO STOP TRAFFIC TO KEEP PUBLIC SAFE, WHEN I'M NEEDED TO JUMP INTO ACTION THIS TRUCK FAILS, I NEED A REPLACEMENT IMMEDIATELY, I WAS ALMOST DRIVEN RIGHT INTO MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR BY A 138 THOUSAND POND TOWER SECTION DUE TO LAG TIME, THIS TRUCK IS POWERLESS, AFTER RECALL MY MILEAGE WENT FROM THE UPPER 30'S TO TEENS, IT'S BEEN IN SHOP EVERY MONTH I HAVE OWNED IT, CURRENTLY WAITING ON A COOLING SYSTEM, ON BACK ORDER, I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK FOR 5 MONTHS, I HAVE LOST OVER 1000,000 IN REVENUE, ALMOST KILLED AND KILLING OTHERS, I AM LOSING MY BUSINESS NOW, I'M IN SUCC A HOLE NOTHING WILL HELP ME UNLESS THIS TRUCK IS REPLACED IMMEDIATELY, THIS TRUCK IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, I HAVE NOTHING LEFT, I NEED A TRUCK THAT WILL SIMPLY WORK, I NEED TO REBUILD

THE VEHICLE HAD A BAD EGR COOLER THAT CAUSED THE COOLANT TO ENTER THE COMBUSTION SYSTEM CAUSING EXCESS OVERHEATING OF THE EXHAUST MELTING SEVERAL EXHAUST COMPONENTS. IT WAS HIT ENOUGH TO POTENTIAL CAUSE A FIRE.

FUEL GAGE DROPS TO EMPTY AND CAUSES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. IT HAPPENS UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE OR WHEN DRIVING.

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY DASH GAUGES GOES OUT AND THROWING A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE CODE RESULTED IN A FUEL LEVEL SENSOR A CIRCUIT HIGH . THE FUEL SENSORS IS DEFECTIVE AT 61000 MILES AND CAUSING MY DASH GAUSES NOT TO WORK.

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL MALFUNCTION OF THE TRANSMISSION IN MY VEHICLE SINCE PURCHASED. THEY STARTED AROUND A YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND HAVE AVERAGED APPROXIMATELY ONE MALFUNCTION PER YEAR. THE FIRST THREE MALFUNCTIONS WERE SIMILAR; A "HARD" DOWNSHIFT OR UPSHIFT WHILE I WAS HIGHWAY DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND ADJUST ACCORDING TO TRAFFIC FLOW. I HEARD A LOUD POPPING NOISE AND FELT THE JOLT OF THE TRANSMISSION CHANGING. LIKE WHEN THE VEHICLE SLOWED BUT THE TRANSMISSION DIDN'T REACT AND ALL THE SUDDEN A HARD SHIFT SAME ON THE UPSHIFT. THE LATEST MALFUNCTION WAS DIFFERENT. I WAS IN HIGHWAY TRAFFIC WHEN TRAFFIC SLOWED DOWN. I TRIED TO ACCELERATE TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC FLOW BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT EXCEED THE 45 MPH. I COULD HEAR THE ENGINE REVVING UP BUT IT WAS LIKE IT WAS STUCK IN LOW GEAR. I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY AND STOPPED AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT DROVE AS NORMAL. I HAVE EXPLAINED THE MALFUNCTIONS TO THE DEALERSHIP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THEY SAID THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND IT WAS NORMAL. AFTER THE LAST FAILED ATTEMPT TO GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED AT THE DEALERSHIP, I CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER FCA US CUSTOMER CENTER REPRESENTATIVE BY LETTER. THE ADVISED ME TO A GM AT THE DODGE CITY DEALER IN MCKINNEY, TX. THE DEALERSHIP ENDED UP "RESETTING THE TRANSMISSION". IT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME THAT IS SIMILAR TO RESETTING YOUR CELL PHONE WHERE ALL SETTINGS GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL SETTINGS. I WAS GIVEN NO OTHER OPTIONS AT THE TIME EXCEPT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND SEE IF THE RESETTING RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. IT IS MY OPINION THERE HAS BEEN NO REAL RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM OF THE MALFUNCTION OF THE TRANSMISSION. I STILL HAVE THE SAME FEAR THAT IF THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION UNDER THE RIGHT CONDITIONS IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT RESULTING IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR EVEN DEATH TO ME OR SOMEONE ELSE. PLEASE GIVE THIS CONCERN YOUR UTMOST ATTENTION.

EXAUST (CARBON MONOXIDE) LEAK: ON MY VEHICLE AND MANY OTHERS I HAVE HEARD, EITHER THE EXAUST MANIFOLD OR THE MANIFOLD BOLTS CRACK OR BREAK CAUSING A LEAK AND LOUD CLICKING NOISE. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE PASSENGER SIDE MANIFOLD UNDER MY WARRANTY BUT NOW THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS CRACKED OR BROKEN AND THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. THE NOISE STOPS AFTER WARMUP BUT HERE IS TILL A QUESTION OF HOW MUCH CARBON MONOXIDE LEAKAGE IS ACCEPTABLE UNTIL HE NOISE STOPS.

SMALL HOLES IN EGR HOSES, CAUSED COOLANT LEAK. RESULTING IN EGR TO NOT HEAT UP ENOUGH AND EXHAUST FILTER TO GET FULL AND NOT GO INTO REGEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE CONTACT HAD JUST FILLED HIS VEHICLE WITH FUEL THE PREVIOUS DAY. THE CONTACT FILLED THE VEHICLE WITH A LOW AMOUNT OF FUEL AND THE INDICATOR TURNED OFF. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AGAIN WHILE ON A TRIP WHEN THE FUEL LEVEL WAS AT 3/4 FUEL CAPACITY. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,500. CONSUMER STATED HE IS HAVING ISSUES WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS AND SHUTS DOWN AFTER 1/2 MINUTE, AFTER REPORTING TO NHTSA.*JB

DASH LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF WHEN TRUCK IS TURNED OFF. HAVE TO DISCONNECT BATTERY FOR LIGHTS TO TURN OFF.

STEERING WHEEL DOESN'T LOCK AND SENSOR IS ALSO CAUSING CRUISE CONTROL TO MALFUNCTION. THIS COULD BE UNSAFE IF THAT SENSOR CONTROLS ANYTHING ELSE

THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT ILLUMINATED IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FUEL LEVEL SENSOR STUCK. WHEN THE LIGHT FIRST ILLUMINATED THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. *BF CONSUMER STATED WHEN THE SENSOR FAILS ITY CAUSES THE FUEL GAUGE TO PLUMMET TO EMPTY.*JB

DRIVING TO INDIANA TO SEE MY GRANDBABIES AND THE CHECK ELECTRONIC TRAILER BRAKES CAME ON THE CHECK ELECTRONIC BRAKING SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON. CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING AND LOST POWER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY BACK TO KENTUCKY. I HAD THE BRAKES DONE, BUT MECHANIC SAID IT'S A SENSOR I THE STEERING COLUMN. THIS IS REALLY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ABOUT TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN WHEN MY POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING AND AN INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. LUCKY I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT SO I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

VEHICLE STALLS RANDOMLY VEHICLE STALLS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. DEALER CAN'T FIND ISSUE. VEHICLE JUST SHUTS OFF WHICH IN MY OPINION MAKES IT UNSAFE. DEALER HAD A 'OH WELL GOOD LUCK, TRADE IT IN AND HOPE IT DOESN'T STALL' ATTITUDE.

RAM 1500 FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY AND EMPTY SIGNAL COMES ON WHILE DRIVING OR AT A STAND STILL ALSO STATES "FUEL SENSOR FAIL"

EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BROKEN CAUSING AN EXHAUST LEAK AT START UP.

I'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION ON MY 2014 DODGE RAM LONGHORN AND I FEAR THIS PROBLEM COULD RESULT INTO A MAJOR ISSUE FOR MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN. I'VE LOOKED ONLINE AND THERE SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP! I DON'T WANT THIS ISSUE TO HAVE ANY CATASTROPHIC PROBLEMS FOR MYSELF AND MY KIDS THAT I TAKE TAKE TO AND FROM SCHOOL. ALSO THIS VEHICLE HAS TO GET ME TO AND FROM WORK. PLEASE RESPOND AND HELP. THE FIRST TIME OF THE MALFUNCTION MYSELF AND KIDS WHERE IN MOTION HEADED TO SCHOOL AND THE REAR SUSPENSION COMPLETELY WENT OUT. THE TRUCK WAS BOUNCING VERY HARD AND WE COULD FEEL EVERY BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE SECOND TIME I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING TO WORK AND IT DID THE SAME THING. I PULLED OVER AND CALLED TOW TRUCK AND MY HUSBAND HAD TO PICK ME UP AND DRIVE ME TO WORK. THE THIRD TIME I WAS HEADED TO TAKE MY KIDS TO SCHOOL AND THE TRUCK WAS LOW ON THE GROUND SO I STARTED IT TO SEE IF IT WOULD RISE UP BUT NOTHING HAPPENED AND IT WAS STILL DRIVING REALLY BAD MAKING EVERY BUMP FEEL LIKE I WOULD LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I FEEL THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND I NEED HELP.

HAD THE AEM EMISSION RECALL DONE NOW TRUCK RUNS BAD. SLUGGISH AND NO THROTTLE RESPONSE FOR 4 TO 5 SECONDS. LOST 5 MILES PER GALLON. SHIFT POINTS CHANGED. LOTS OF PINGING AND TURBO BACK FLUSH. LOUD AND SOUND LIKE ROD OR CYLINDER RATTLING. NO POWER PULLING TRAILER OR WHEN CLIMBING HILLS, HAVE TO KEEP IT FLOORED. DEALER CONFIRMED ALL PROBLEMS AND SAYS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. AROUND 55000 MILES.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN GEAR THEN STOPPED AND PLACED IN PARK BUT NOT SHUT OFF IT WILL NOT GO BACK INTO GEAR. THIS STARTED THE END OF JUNE 2019. IT HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST SEVEN TIMES. IT HAS OCCURRED IN DRIVEWAYS, PARKING LOTS, AND LANDSCAPE AND LUMBER YARDS. AT THE YARDS IT BLOCKED ONCOMING TRAFFIC.IT HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS HALF WAY INTO OUR STREET FROM OUR DRIVEWAY WHERE VEHICLES HAD TO DRIVE AROUND THE TRUCK. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN INJURY THE DODGE DEALER RAN THREE CHECKS ON THE TRUCK AND TOLD US THE PROBLEM NEVER REGISTERS ON THEIR COMPUTER NOR COULD THEY GET THE PROBLEM TO REPLICATE. AFTER MANY COMPLAINTS THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE SHIFTER CONTROLLER. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN WITHIN AN HOUR AFTER THE ATTEMPTED REPAIR. WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WHERE WE DRIVE THE VEHICLE SO WE SO NOT PUT OURSELVES IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. WE COULD NOT BE ASSURE THE VEHICLE WOULD FO INTO GEAR WHEN DOING A THREE POINT TURN. WE HAVE A VIDEO OF THIS PROBLEM BUT I COULD NOT GET IT TO COPY.

VEHICLE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILURE

MY STOCK DRIVESHAFT IS RUBBING INTO MY STOCK GAS TANK. I BELIEVE TO BE THE CASE ON ALL 2014 REGULAR CAB 1500 WITH THE 3.92 REAR END. THE KEY HERE IS THE 3.92 REAR END ON THIS TRUCK. THEY USED AN OVERSIZE ADAPTER PLATE THE MOUNT THE DRIVE SHAFT AND THERE IS NOT ENOUGH CLEARANCE WHEN TURNING LEFT AND THE BED ROLLS. I HAVE GAUGE MARKS IN MY TANK AND FCA IS REFUSING TO LOOK AT THE EVIDENCE EVEN THOUGH A RAM DEALER POINTED IT OUT TO ME.

AFTER THE V08 RECALL AEM UPDATE, THE TRUCK HAS NO POWER WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP

THIS HAS HAPPENED ON A MULTITUDE OF OCCASIONS. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL BOTH COME ON. AT THE SAME TIME AS THE LIGHTS THE MESSAGES SHOW UP AND SAY TO SERVICE SHIFTER KNOB, THEN RIGHT AFTER THAT THE SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM MESSAGE SHOWS UP AND WILL BE THE ONLY MESSAGE FOUND IN THE MESSAGES FOLDER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STAY ON. WHEN TRYING TO GET THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT TO GO OUT BY PRESSING THE TRACTION CONTROL BUTTON, NOTHING HAPPENS. THIS IS TELLING ME THAT I DO NOT HAVE ANY TRACTION CONTROL. THIS WILL BECOME A MAJOR ISSUE WHEN IT SNOWS. EACH OF THESE INSTANCES HAVE HAPPENED WHILE MOVING BOTH ON AND OFF THE HIGHWAY AND WHILE AT A STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED ALSO WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY ABOUT SEVEN MONTHS AGO WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE SNOW.

RECALL FOR EMISSIONS NOT PERFORMED CORRECTLY. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON ALL THE TIME. WARNING FLASHES ON DASH : "ENGINE WILL NOT RESTART IN 200 MI SERVICE DEF SEE DEALER." STARTED AT 5000 MILES AND HAS PLAGUED THE TRUCK EVERY SINCE THEN. RAM WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX AND REIMBURSE UNDER RECENT RECALL AND EXTENDED WARRANTY SETTLEMENT. I HAVE DOCUMENTED, WRITTEN, CALLED, EMAILED, AND FAXED TO THE RAM MANUFACTURER. I GET NO RESPONSE WHATSOEVER. RECALL DONE ON 7/11/19 AND ON 10/08/19 I STILL DON'T HAVE IT FIXED. FILE TO THICK TO UP LOAD.

FUEL PUMP SENSOR FAILED. REPLACED THE PART, BOUGHT FROM THE DEALERSHIP. INSTALLED AND WORKED FOR TWO DAYS BEFORE THE SENSOR AGAIN FAILED. WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED THE GAUGE DOES NOT SENSE ANY FUEL IN THE CAR. ALSO THE CAR'S COMPUTER SYSTEM FAILS TO TELL YOU WHICH PART IS IN FAILURE- THE BRAKE LIGHT INDICATOR WENT ON FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT, IT WAS ACTUALLY THE BRAKE LIGHT ON THE CAB THAT WAS OUT.

AT 124000 MILES, ELECTRIC STEERING IS GOING OUT. NOT SEEING ANY RECALLS ON MY 2014 RAM 1500. I DO SEE SEVERAL REPORTS OF THE SAME. DODGE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED.

DANGEROUS. TRANSMISSION PROBLEM ON SLIGHT UPHILL AT SPEEDS FROM 40-70 MILES. SUDDENLY THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, TRUCK GETS STUCK IN A WEIRD GEAR, GAS PEDAL ONLY WORKS HALF WAY. YOU CANNOT SPEED UP TO SAVE YOUR LIFE. THIS IS JUST A 4 YEAR OLD TRUCK. ABSOLUTELY UNFOTO BUYERS.

I HAD THE AEM UPDATE DONE ON MY 2014 RAM ECODIESEL. THE RECALL DRASTICALLY AFFECTED THE PERFORMANCE OF THE TRUCK. THE ACCELERATION IS NOW DANGEROUSLY SLOW. MY WIFE, MY SON, AND I HAVE ALL NEARLY BEEN IN ACCIDENTS RIGHT AFTER THE RECALL WAS DONE BECAUSE WE WERE NOT AWARE HOW THE PERFORMANCE HAD BEEN REDUCED SO MUCH. FROM A STANDSTILL THE TRUCK TAKES 3-5 SECONDS TO BEGIN TO ACCELERATE. THE TRUCK IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

THE TRUCK WAS INVOLVED IN A ROLLOVER AND THE SIDE NOR FRONT AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED. *DT*JB*JB

2 MOUNTING BOLTS HAVE BROKEN OFF IN MY MANIFOLD. THEY ARE BROKE OFF INSIDE THE MANIFOLD.

FUEL SENSOR FAILURE. GAS GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY ALL THE TIME. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AS WELL AS "FUEL SENSOR FAILURE" LIGHT. THIS IS VERY COMMON IN THESE RAM TRUCKS. IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME TO ME WHILE DRIVING. THERE WAS A WARNING BELL, THEN THE FUEL SENSOR FAILURE LIGHT CAME ON WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT, AND THEN GAS GAUGE DROPPED TO DEAD EMPTY. HAS REMAINED THERE SINCE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE NEXT LANE, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD AND DID NOT RELEASE, CAUSING THE VEHICLE'S SPEED TO INCREASE TO APPROXIMATELY 80 MPH. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ATTEMPT TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, IT FAILED TO SLOW DOWN UNTIL THE CONTACT DEACTIVATED THE CRUISE CONTROL AND DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PLACED THE GEAR IN PARK, AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKE AND ELECTRONIC THROTTLE FAILURE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SUBURBAN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF TROY (LOCATED AT 1790 MAPLELAWN DR, TROY, MI 48084, 248-585-8800) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: [XXX]. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,500. *BF *TP '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).'

AFTER HAVING THE AEM UPDATE COMPLETED, I LOST 5MPG IN FUEL ECONOMY (FROM 23 MPG COMBINED, TO 18 MPG COMBINED), I ALSO AM EXPERIENCING AN INCREDIBLY UNSAFE AMOUNT OF ACCELERATION LAG (4-6 SECONDS). WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC TRAVELLING AT 40+MPH, THIS LAG IN ACCELERATION CAUSES ME TO ROLL INTO TRAFFIC WITH NO POWER OR ABILITY TO ACCELERATE UNTIL THE ENGINE DECIDES TO KICK IN.THIS LAG IN ACCELERATION IS THE BIGGEST CONCERN AS THE DURATION OF LAG IS INCONSISTENT AND UNPREDICTABLE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AND AM NOT CONFIDENT IN IT'S PERFORMANCE ANYMORE. I, LIKE MANY OTHER OWNERS WOULD LIKE TO GET RID OF THIS TRUCK. I THINK FCA SHOULD TAKE BAKE THE TRUCK BECUASE IT HAS BECOME A FINANCIAL/SAFETY NIGHTMARE. AS OF JANUARY 2019, I HAVE SPENT OVER $7000 ON THE EXHAUST SYSTEM PRIOR TO THE AEM UPDATE COMING OUT (EGR COOLER CLOGGED, TURBO HOSES BAD, ETC.) LUCKLIY, I JUST HAD THE EGR COOLER REPLACED UNDER THE NEW WARRANTY BUT THE DRIVABILITY (GOOD FUEL ECONOMY AND POWER) IS NO LONGER PRESENT. IF THIS TRUCK FUNCTIONED LIKE THIS WHEN I FIRST TEST DROVE IT, I WOULD NEVER HAVE BOUGHT IT.

PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT NOT WORKING. HEADLIGHT IS NOT BLOWN , NO FUSE TO CHANGE . ONLY FIX IS AT THE DEALER . SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHILE OUT ON THE ROAD AND NO WAY TO GET TO A DEALER . TRAVEL WHILE IT'S DARK A LOT IN A RURAL AREA WITH A LOT OF WILDLIFE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS UP HILLS AND INCLINES, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND THE SERVICE ELECTRIC THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SHIELDS AUTO CENTER (225 S MEYERS ST, RANTOUL, IL, (217) 892-2155) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 149,115. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

AFTER THE V08 UPDATE VERY BAD LAG FROM THE PEDAL AND GAS MILEAGE DROPPED VERY SIGNIFICANTLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK AND STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE FUEL INDICATOR READ THAT THERE WAS NO FUEL IN THE TANK. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO JT'S DODGELAND OF COLUMBIA (LOCATED AT 190 GREYSTONE BLVD, COLUMBIA, SC 29210, 803-832-1255) WHO STATED THAT THE FUEL RELAY SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

THE BRAKE PEDAL KEEPS SINKING NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE IT STOPS. THIS CLEARLY PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD TO OCCUPANTS OR PEDESTRIANS, AND AFFECTS THE DRIVERS ABILITY TO SAFELY CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED ON CITY STREET AND HIGHWAY ON MY WAY HOME. WHILE DRIVING IT WILL BRAKE PROPERLY A FEW TIMES THAN IT START SINKING AGAIN. I FEEL IT HAS TO DO WITH THE MASTER CYLINDER OR BOOSTER. I ALSO HAVE VIDEO OF THE PEDAL SINKING.

HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILURE (CP4) CAUSED A QUOTED $9500 REPAIR BILL.

MY TRUCK WAS RECALLED FOR AN EMISSION RECALL,V08.ALL THE ISSUES STARTED AFTER THAT. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING IT HAS NO POWER BETWEEN 1000-2200 RPM. IT HESITATES WHEN THE THROTTLE IS APPLIED. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN ACCELERATING, IN THE CITY AND ON THE HIGHWAY. IT DOES THIS EVEN AFTER IT IS WARMED UP. WHEN TOWING A BOAT IT IS VERY BAD. IT CAN HARDLY PULL THE BOAT UP THE RAMP. IT IS A SAFETY AND PERFORMANCE ISSUE.

VEHICLE LOSES POWER RANDOMLY AND COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC, IN THE DRIVEWAY, AND WHILE TRAVELING DOWN A HIGHWAY AT 70MPH. IN THIRTEEN MONTHS THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN AND TOWED FOR REPAIR TO VARIOUS DEALERSHIPS SEVEN TIMES. THE FIRST FOUR TIMES IT WAS TAKEN TO A DEALERSHIP, IT WAS RELEASED TO ME WITHOUT REPAIR DUE TO THE DEALERSHIP BEING "UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE". THIS VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM COMMERCE.

MY VEHICLE HAS TREMENDOUS LAG WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, BUT IT IS NOT ALL THE TIME. I NEVER KNOW WHEN PULLING OUT INTO A ROAD AT A LEFT HAND TURN IF I AM GOING TO GET THROTTLE RESPONSE OR A DEAD PETAL. TOO MANY TIMES NOT I HAVE BEEN STUCK WITH TREMENDOUS LAG AND ALMOST REAR ENDED BY VEHICLES WHILE TURNING ONTO A ROAD. THIS WAS NEVER AN ISSUE UNTIL A FORCED "FIX" FOR A RECALL ON THE ECODIESEL ENGINE. UPON INITIAL ACCELERATION SOMETIMES THERE IS A 1-2 SECOND LAG BEFORE THE VEHICLE EVEN SEEMS TO ACCELERATE AT ALL. MY MILE PER GALLON HAS DROPPED SEVERAL POINTS AND DEF IS BEING OVER CONSUMED. I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE TRUCK WILL ACCELERATE OR JUST LAG OUT ON ME. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS A MOTOR OR TRANSMISSION OR NONE OF THE ABOVE ISSUE. I DO KNOW THAT MANY PEOPLE WITH THE "AEM FIX" FOR THE RECALLED RAMS IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT SEEM SAFE TO DRIVE TO TO ITS UNPREDICTABILITY WITH ACCELERATION. FROM A COLD START, THE VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY SLUGGISH FOR SEVERAL MINUTES OR MILES, AND THAT IS IN THE WARM CA SUN.... I AM WAITING FOR THE VEHICLE TO NOT WORK AT ALL. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS SINCE HAVING THE VEHICLE "FIXED"

THE VEHICLE'S INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FLICKERS FROM BRIGHT TO EXTREMELY DARK. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP TRACED THE ISSUE BACK TO THE ICP MODULE. AS THIS MODULE CONTINUES TO FLICKER IT DRAWS THE ATTENTION OF THE OPERATOR AWAY FROM THE ROAD. THE MODULE ALSO INDICATES ENGINE ISSUES, THIS COULD LEAD TO A LOSS OF CONTROL RESULTING IN A CRASH.

AFTER RECEIVING THE EPA MANDATED EMISSIONS UPDATE KNOWN AS AEM (V08) I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING AN UNSAFE AMOUNT OF LAG FROM THE TIME THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED TO THE TIME THE TRUCK ACTUALLY BEGINS TO ACCELERATE. AT TIMES, I CAN COUNT TO 5 SECONDS BEFORE THE TRUCK BEGINS TO MOVE FORWARD. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND DOWNRIGHT UNSAFE. FCA IS STAYING THAT THE LAG IS AS THE SOFTWARE INTENDED IT TO BE. WHEN THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED IT WAS NOT AT ALL LIKE THIS, AFTER BEING FORCED BY THE EPA & THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO GET THIS UPDATE MY TRUCK IS NOW NEARLY INOPERABLE DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS. I REFUSE TO PUT MY FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE AS IT IN COMPLETELY UNPREDICTABLE AND UNRELIABLE. PLEASE STEP UP AND FORCED FCA TO FIX THIS TERRIBLE MISTAKE THEY MADE. YOU MAY END UP SAVING SOMEONE'S LIFE.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING RACK IS GOING OUT, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE ON HIGHWAY, ALMOST CAUSING A CRASH.

IN MOTION LOST ALL POWER WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SHOP COOLANT BYPASS VALVE PART NUMBER #68483334AA WITH RESEARCH SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ALSO PART IS NOT AVAILABLE TO ORDER

AFTER THE MANDATORY EMISSIONS UPDATE ON MY ECODIESEL I AM GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT TRYING TO GET OUT IN TO TRAFFIC AT A STOP LIGHT OR SIGN. THERE IS SERIOUS LAG IN THE THROTTLE RESPONSE AND SOMETIMES NO RESPONSE AT ALL. HOW CAN SOMETHING THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO MAKE US SAFER LEAVE US SO VERY VULNERABLE. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE FOR A FIX TO THIS ISSUE. ALSO THE UPDATE WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO CAUSE A CHANGE IN FUEL ECONOMY OR THE WAY OUR VEHICLES RUN. IT IS HORRIBLE. IT'S BAD ENOUGH THAT THE FUEL ECONOMY IS SO DRASTICALLY REDUCED, BUT SERIOUSLY THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. EVERY TIME THAT I AM AT A STOP AND THEN PUSH ON MY THROTTLE I HAVE NO IDEA IF THE PICKUP IS GOING TO RESPOND OR NOT. NUMEROUS TIMES I HAVE BEEN STALLED OUT WITH TRAFFIC COMING AT ME BOTH WAYS. IT IS AN EXTREMELY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. WORSE, I AM CONSIDERING AN AFTER MARKET "TUNE" AS ARE 1000'S OF OTHERS. THIS IS NOT THE ANSWER TO THIS WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. PLEASE MAKE DODGE FIX THIS TERRIBLE SAFETY ISSUE. HOW MANY PREVENTABLE CRASHES WILL THERE HAVE TO BE?

FCA WAS RECENTLY INVOLVED IN AN EMISSIONS SCANDAL. THE REQUIRED UPDATE (AEM) THAT HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED TO SATISFY THE EPA HAS LEFT THE TRUCK DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THROTTLE RESPONSE IS TERRIBLE, LEAVING A 5 TO 6 SECOND DELAY BEFORE ANY POWER IS GAINED. THE TRANSMISSION WONT DOWNSHIFT GOING THROUGH ROUNDABOUTS, CREATING A HAZARD AS THE TRUCK WILL NOT ACCELERATE. FREEWAY DRIVING HAS THE TRUCK HANGING IN 7TH GEAR, BARELY SHIFTING INTO 8TH. MILEAGE HAS DROPPED 3MPG, CONSISTENTLY. IN THE HASTE TO SATISFY THE EPA, FCA HAS PUT THOUSANDS OF DANGEROUS, UNDER PERFORMING VEHICLES ON THE HIGHWAY. MANY PEOPLE ARE SEEING FAILURES IN THE EMISSIONS COMPONENTS ON THE VEHICLES SINCE THE UPDATE, INCLUDING ME. I AM SCHEDULING MY INTAKE MANIFOLD AND EGR COOLER REPLACEMENT AS I TYPE THIS... SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO GET THESE VEHICLES BACK TO A SAFE, RELIABLE AUTOMOBILE...

ON FEBRUARY 23, 2019, I BOUGHT A 2014 RAM 1500 LARAMIE EDITION TRUCK WITH A 3.0 VM MOTORI TWIN TURBO ECODIESEL ENGINE. THE TRUCK HAD 78,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THE TRUCK. THE FACTORY WARRANTY (5 YEARS/100,000 MILES) RAN OUT ON APRIL 12, 2019, DUE TO THE TRUCK BEING 5 YEARS OLD. I FOLLOWED THE MANUFACTURES RECOMMENDATIONS AND USED VALVOLINE EURO 15W40 DIESEL MOTOR OIL WHEN I CHANGED THE OIL, WHICH WAS AS SOON AS THE OIL SENSOR INDICATED THAT THE OIL WAS READY FOR CHANGING. ON MAY 2, 2019, I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 70 MPH. THE TRUCK MADE A BRIEF ROARING SOUND AND THE ENGINE DIED. I COASTED OVER TO THE LEFT SHOULDER AND STOPPED. A LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL WAS UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK NOW HAD 83,000 MILES ON IT. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND THE COST WOULD BE $13,219.40 PLUS ANY ADDITIONAL COST BEYOND THE LONG BLOCK ENGINE. I BEGAN RESEARCHING AND FOUND NUMEROUS ARTICLES THAT EXPLAINED THAT THE 3.0 VM MOTORI TWIN TURBO ECODIESEL ENGINE HAS A DESIGN FLAW THAT CAUSED THE ENGINE TO DESTROY ITSELF. BASICALLY THE CAM GEAR IS NOT SECURED TO THE CAM SHAFT. THE TIMING CHAIN'S TORQUE IS THE ONLY THING THAT HOLDS THE GEAR TO THE SHAFT. ONCE THE GEAR SLIPS AND THE TIMING CHAIN JUMPS, THE VALVES COLLIDE WITH THE PISTONS, STARTING A CHAIN REACTION THAT DESTROYS THE ENGINE. MY TRUCK RAN PERFECTLY UNTIL THE ENGINE FAILURE. THERE WAS NO WARNING. THE ARTICLES RECOUNT NUMEROUS ENGINE FAILURES OF THIS ENGINE WITH SOME ENGINES THAT HAD LESS THAN 20,000 MILES ON THEM. THE FAILURES HAPPENED WITH ENGINES THAT WERE IDLING AND ENGINES RUNNING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ONE ARTICLE CLAIMS TO HAVE AN INTERNAL CHRYSLER DOCUMENT THAT STATES THAT OF THE 198,000 OF THESE VEHICLES SOLD IN THE U.S. AND CANADA THE ENGINE FAILURE RATE HAS BEEN AS HIGH AS 19 PER WEEK.

THE V08 EMISSION RECALL HAS DESPITE WHAT THE MANUFACTURER CLAIMS DECREASED MY MPG, INCREASED TURBO LAG, MADE IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO LITERALLY SLOWER THAN ACCEPTABLE THROTTLE RESPONSE, AND DAILY DIESEL REGENERATION. ALL BEFORE THIS FLASH TO THE ECU THERE WHERE NO PROBLEMS. BUT SINCE IT IS A TICKING TIME BOMB JUST WAITING FOR FOR ME TO GET T-BONED AT AN INTERSECTION FOR THE DELAYED ACCELERATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. VEHICLE EXPERIENCED LOST OF AUTOMOTIVE POWER VEHICLE WOULD NOT PROPERLY ACCELLERATE FAILURES AFTER SERVICE FOR EMISSIONS RECALL THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO HESITATE AND LOOSE POWER. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER MARLOW MOTOR COMPANY(707 N. COMMERCE AVE, FRONT ROYAL, VA) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE BEGAN TO OCCUR AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED FOR AN EMISSIONS RECALL. NO FURTHER INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

THE DAIL SHIFTER ON OUR TRUCK BOTH DIRECTIONS REVERSE AND FORWARD WILL NOT GO. WE HAVE TO SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND DO THIS A FEW TIME TO RESET THE COMPUTER TO BE ABLE TO MOVE THE TRUCK. TOOK THIS IN TO GET FIXED AND THEY SAID THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM ON A METER AND WE TOOK EXTRA INSURANCE FOR THIS KIND OF PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE SOME ANSWERS BEFORE WE ARE STUCK IN 114-DEGREE WEATHER. AT ALL DIFFERENT TIME WHEN YOU TRY TO DRIVE NIGHT, DAY, STOP SIGN, STOPLIGHT. IT'S HAPPENING OFTEN CAN'T ADD THAT ON WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN? AUG 30TH WAS THE LAST TIME!

ON JUNE THE 5TH 2019 MY ECODIESEL RECALL WAS PERFORMED AT THE DEALER. IT WAS PART OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. THREE DAYS LATER THE TRUCK STARTED RUNNING BAD. IT HAS DEAD FUEL PEDAL AND LOSS OF POWER. I BROUGHT IT BACK FOR A SECOND TIME TO HAVE THE RECALL PREFORMED AGAIN AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AS OF NOW. I'M AFRAID TO PUT MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK DUE TO THE FACT THAT WHEN I PULL OUT INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC I DONT KNOW IF I WILL HAVE POWER OR NOT. I'M SCHEDULED FOR THE 9TH OF SEPTEMBER TO ATTEMPT THE RECALL A 3RD TIME.

I HAVE A 2014 RAM 1500 WITH THE 3.0L ECODIESEL ENGINE. AFTER RECEIVING THE V08 EMISSIONS RECALL, I AM EXPERIENCING EXCESSIVE TURBO LAG/SLOW ACCELERATION WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD. IT IS BAD ENOUGH THAT I AM FORCED TO STEP ON THE THROTTLE JUST TO GET THE VEHICLE THROUGH INTERSECTIONS OR WHEN MERGING ON HIGHWAYS. IT WAS NOT LIKE THIS PRIOR TO THE V08 EMISSIONS RECALL CAMPAIGN AND THE ACCELERATION LAG HAS ALMOST CAUSED A COUPLE.ACCIDENTS AS THE TRUCK WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE OUT OF SITUATIONS IN WHICH IT USED TO HAVE NO PROBLEMS PRIOR TO THE V08 RECALL.

HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LEAK CAUSING FUEL AT A HIGH PRESSURE TO BE SPRAYED ALL OVER ENGINE COMPARTMENT, EXHAUST SYSTEM, BRAKES AND COAT THE UNDERCARRIAGE WITH FUEL. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED (70 MPH) A MIST OF VAPOR APPEARED BEHIND THE TRUCK CAUSING OTHER VECHICLES TO PULL TO THE SIDE TO AVOID THE FUEL BEING SPRAYED. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND MASSIVE FUEL SPILL COVERED THE CONCRETE AND DRIPPED FROM EVERY UNDERCARRIAGE LOWPOINT. SMOKE AND SIZZLING WAS OBSERVED AND WE FLED A SAFE DISTANCE FROM VEHICLE. THIS IS A REPEAT FAILURE OF THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINE. THIS IS THE FIFTH FAILURE AND IT HAS SEVERAL MORE ATTEMPTED TO SOLVE THE LEAK PRIOR TO CLOSING THE WORK ORDERS. FAILURE APPEARS TO HAPPEN AFTER APPROXIMATELY 10,000 MILES OF BEING IN SERVICE. NO ROOT CAUSE HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED FOR THIS FAILURE. VEHICLE IS IN THE POSSESSION OF FCA AND NO CLEAR PATH HAS BEEN GIVEN TO ME ON HOW THIS IS GOING TO BE RESOLVED AND I AM WITHOUT MY TRUCK. NO PATH HAS BEEN GIVEN TO REPAIR COMPONENTS THAT HAVE BEEN SEVERELY CONTAMINATED BY DIESEL (BRAKE PADS, ROTORS, VERSUS RUBBER COMPONENTS, ETC) THE ATTACHED PHOTO SHOWS THE AMOUNT OF FUEL THAT POURED OUT IN THE DEALER SERVICE BAY. ADDITIONAL PHOTOS AVALABLE ON REQUEST. THE DATE IS FOR THE LATEST FAILURE. TODAY I AM AT 25 DAYS WITH NO CLEAR PATH TO CLOSE THIS CONCERN.

CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTIONALITIES IS NOT WORKING WITH 100 PERCENT CONSISTENCIES. WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL IS SET ACTIVE, IT CANNOT BE DEACTIVATED OR CANCEL, THE ONLY WAY TO DISENGAGE THE ACTIVE CRUISE CONTROL IS BY STEPPING ON THE BRAKE TO CANCEL OR DEACTIVATE THE CRUISE CONTROL. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN WHAT IF THE CRUISE CONTROL CAN NOT BE DISENGAGE.

DUE TO THE ECODIESEL SETTLEMENT PROGRAM, I ALLOWED FCA TO UPDATE THE ECM TO MEET THEIR REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SETTLEMENT. AFTER THE UPDATE, MY TRUCK IS DANGEROUSLY SLOW FROM A STANDING START. I NEVER KNOW IF THE TRUCK WILL ACCELERATE AS I MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. SOMETIME IT IS BARELY ADEQUATE BUT MOST OF THE TIME THERE IS A 2 TO 4 SECOND DELAY BEFORE THE TURBO KICKS IN (AROUND 2,000 RPM) AND THEN THERE IS A STRONG TURBO LEAP BECAUSE MY FOOT IS BURIED IN THE FLOOR TRYING TO GET THE TRUCK TO MOVE. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN T-BONED OR REAR-ENDED SEVERAL TIMES CROSSING STREETS AND MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND FCA TOLD ME THERE ISN'T ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE BECAUSE THE TRUCK DIDN'T SHOW ANY ERROR CODES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PERFORMED HIS OWN DIAGNOSTIC AND REPLACED THE CAMSHAFT AND CRANKSHAFT SENSORS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO MISFIRE AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AGAIN. THE CONTACT PERFORMED SEVERAL REPAIRS ON HIS VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT DROVE TO WHITTEN BROTHERS OF ASHLAND (11409 WASHINGTON HWY, ASHLAND, VA 23005, 804-798-6071) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT EITHER THE MOTOR OR THE CAMSHAFT AND LIFTERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 182,000.

WHEN IN MOTION ON A CITY OR A HIGHWAY THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT DOWNSHIFT CORRECTLY AND IT SOUNDS LIKE IF IT IS REVVING WHEN NOT STEPPING ON THE GAS.

THE TRUCK WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY WHEN THE BRAKES SUDDENLY WENT OUT. WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE EXPRESSWAY AND TO A DEALERSHIP THAT WAS RIGHT THERE. SUBURBAN CHRYSLER DODGE. THEY INSPECTED IT AND FOUND A BOLT THAT HOLDS THE CALIPER IN PLACE BROKE AND THE CALIPER BECAME DISLODGED. IT JAMMED INTO THE ROTOR AND CAUSED ALL KINDS OF ISSUES.

I HAD THE EMISSIONS RECALL/REPAIR FOR THE ECODIESEL ENGINES PER THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BETWEEN THE EPA AND FCA. FCA CLAIMS THAT IT WOULD NOT EFFECT POWER OR GAS MILEAGE. MY TRUCK NOW HAS A SIGNIFICANT LAG FROM A STOP AS WELL AS FROM 10 MPH TO ABOUT 20MPH WHEN ONE HITS THE GAS AND TRIES TO ACCELERATE. THIS DECREASE IN POWER MAKES THIS VEHICLE DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN TRYING TO PULL ON TO A STREET THAT HAS ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S FUEL SENSOR FAILED AND THE FUEL GAUGE WENT TO ZERO. ALSO, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT BLANK AND "FUEL SENSOR FAILURE" WAS DISPLAYED. THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ALSO ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO LAWLESS CHRYSLER DODGE (196 LEXINGTON ST, WOBURN, MA 01801, (888) 384-4956) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW FUEL SENSOR WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000. *TR*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE BRAKING, THE CONTACT SMELLED OIL AND RUBBER BURNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD AND THE VEHICLE BARELY STOPPED ONCE HE ARRIVED HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO TALLAHASSEE DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM FIAT (3987 W TENNESSEE ST, TALLAHASSEE, FL 32304, (844) 280-9221) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE LINE COLLAPSED. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE BRAKE CALIPER TO CLOSE DOWN AND DESTROY THE ROTOR. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT THE COST OF $1,300 BECAUSE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THE CONTACT FELT THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS BOGUS, AND HE WAS MISLEAD AND LIED TO BY THE DEALER. THE CONTACT FELT THAT THE DEALER WAS VERY DISHONEST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,387. *BF THE $1,300 WAS THE DEALER'S ORIGINAL ESTIMATE OF REPAIR COST. SEE ENCLOSED FINAL REPAIR BILL FROM THE DEALER. THE OLD ORIGINAL FLEXIBLE BRAKE LINES THAT WENT BAD WERE OF SUCH POOR QUALITY THEY ONLY LASTED 27,387 MILES. ANYTHING AS IMPORTANT AS A BRAKE LINE, IT WOULD SEEM TO ME, SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN THAT. THE NEW FLEXIBLE BRAKE LINES ARE ONLY WARRANTED FOR 12,000 MILES OR 12 MONTHS. WE WERE FORTUNATE WE WERE IN TOWN DRIVING AND UNDER WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED.*JB

WAS TRAVELING DOWN I485 IN CHARLOTTE NC. GOING TO BEACH. AN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRUCK HAS NO POWER. I HAVE NO PEDAL IT IS GONE . HAD TO GET IT OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AN STOPPED WITH WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT THE TAIL PIPES . IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. THAT TIME . NEXTED TIME IT WAS THE EDGE VALVE AN SENCER . HAD NO PICK UP AN GO . EVERY SINCE THE V08 TUNE THIS TRUCK HAS BAD LAG LAG U CAN NOT SURE WHEN U R PULLING OUT OF AN INTERCEPTION IF U WILL GET OUT SAFE . THE LAG IS TERRIBLE . I LOVED THIS TRUCK UNTILL THE TUNE . BUT NOW CANT TRUST IT . GOT OT TO PULL CAMPER BUT DONT TRUST IT NOW WILL NOT OWN ANOTHER RAM ECO OR ANY THING ELSE .

ACCELERATOR WHEN PUSHED DOWN TO TO PASS ANOTHER CAR WILL STICK TO FULL THROTTLE AND NOT RELEASE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, COULD CAUSE LOST OF LIFE, DUE TO THE TRUCK WOULD REACH TOP SPEED AND NOT BE ABLE TO STOP IT. MY SON REACH OVER AND PUT TRUCK IN NEUTRAL AND L ROLLED TO A STOP. I WAS DRIVING ON A SIX LANE ROAD IN TOWN WHERE SPEED LIMIT IS 45 MPH. I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM OR RESEARCH DONE ON IT. NOT SURE WHAT SPEED MY TRUCK WENT TO, I WAS TRYING NOT TO HIT ANOTHER CAR.

2014 RAM ECODIESEL. HAD THE EMISSIONS UPDATE DONE PER THE FCA CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REQUIREMENTS. AFTER THE UPDATE, MY TRUCK HAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TURBO/THROTTLE LAG. THIS LAG CAN LAST ANYWHERE FROM 2-5 SECONDS. ADDITIONALLY, THE TRUCK WAS ADVERTISED AS 29 MPG ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER THE UPDATE, I AM SITTING AROUND 17 MPG. I HAVE LODGED A COMPLAINT WITH FCA AND AM STILL WAITING TO HEAR BACK. THIS IS NO LONGER AN EMISSIONS ISSUE, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I CAN GUARANTEE YOU IT WILL LEAD TO NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLY DEATH. A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH WILL SHOW THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT UNIQUE TO MY ECODIESEL. ALMOST EVERY RAM AND JEEP THAT HAD THE EMISSIONS UPDATE IS DEALING WITH THE SAME SAFETY RISKS.

ECODIESEL-POST EPA REQUIRED REPAIRS- TURBO LAG / DELAYED ACCELERATION. UP TO A TWO SECOND TIME DELAY BEFORE VEHICLE WILL PROCEED UPON FULL THROTTLE DEMAND TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC OR FROM A STOP SIGN OR NEEDING TO PASS A VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.. THE DELAY WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT TO OCCUR. PRIOR TO THE EPA REPAIRS, VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE ANY TURBO LAG/ACCELERATION ISSUES. ONE COULD ACCELERATE WITH FULL, PARTIAL OR MINIMAL THROTTLE AND HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE VEHICLE PERFORMING AS NEEDED. DISCUSSED THIS PROBLEM WITH LOCAL RAM DEALER, THEY STATED THERE IS NO CURRENT FIX BEING CONSIDERED BY FCA. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE WITH VEHICLES BEING INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS AS THE VEHICLE THINKS ABOUT ACCELERATING. PLEASE ADVISE IF THERE ARE ANY KNOWN REMEDIES FOR THIS SOFTWARE ISSUE? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. FORTUNATELY NO BENT SHEET METAL YET.

AFTER COMPLETING THE EMISSIONS RECALL ON MY ECO DIESEL TRUCK I HAVE LOST ALL STARTING POWER. IT FEELS LIKE I HAVE LOST TURBO AND TAKE ROUGHLY 2-3 SEC TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP. I HAVE TRIED FLOORING IT AND STILL NO TAKE OFF; IT SLOWLY ACCELERATES INTO TRAFFIC BEFORE IT FINALLY GOES. SO FAR I HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO NOT BE HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON JULY 6, 2019 AND IN THAT MONTH IT HAS STALLED ON MY TWICE WHEN STOPPED. IT STARTS RIGHT BACK UP, BUT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVEN'T EVEN MADE MY 1ST PAYMENT YET AND I'M NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I CAN'T AFFORD TO THROW A NEW TO ME VEHICLE IN THE SHOP!

FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CAME ON. MANY OTHERS HAVING SAME PROBLEM. VEHICLE WAS MOVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND BECAME STUCK. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED WITH FORCE IN ORDER FOR THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO BE RELEASED. THE CONTACT INFORMED CROWN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM GREENSBORO (3710 W WENDOVER AVE, GREENSBORO, NC 27407, (336) 790-9850) OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH AT NIGHT, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILED WITHOUT WARNING AND THEN REBOOTED ON ITS OWN. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED, THE ENGINE COMPLETELY FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT DROVE TO M & M CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP, AND RAM (131 MILL ST, LIBERTY, NY 12754, 845-292-3500) TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED, BUT NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED BACK TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

FCA IS NOT VERY HELPFUL AND THE DEALER THAT I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK FROM DENIED SERVICE AFTER SEEING THERE WAS AN ENGINE LIGHT ON. I HAVE IT IN ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON WITH IT AND THEY ARE SAYING THE INTAKE MANIFOLD IS MELTED FROM THE EGR BEING STUCK OPEN. I BELIEVE THE EGR VALVE HAS TO DO WITH EMISSIONS AND THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS BUT YET THEY WANT THE 5300 TO FIX IT.

THIS 2014 RAM ECODIESEL RECEIVED THE APPROVED EMISSION MODIFICATION FROM FCA AT AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP ON JUNE 5TH 2019. AFTER RECEIVING THE ENGINE SOFTWARE UPDATE THE TRUCK EXPERIENCES SIGNIFICANT DELAY IN ACCELERATION CAUSING ENTERING TO TRAFFIC TO BE DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE. EXAMPLE: ON TWO OCCASIONS, I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO ENTER TRAFFIC AND HAVE ALMOST BEEN BROADSIDED AS THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE DESPITE PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, I WAS ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE UP A STEEP ROAD AND THE ENGINE WOULD APPEAR TO STALL OUT CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO REMAIN STATIONARY WHILE ATTEMPTING TO GO UP HILL. THIS VEHICLE NEVER DISPLAYED ANY OF THIS BEHAVIOR PRIOR TO RECEIVING THE NEW ENGINE SOFTWARE FROM FCA. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT DANGEROUS, UNSAFE, AND UNPREDICTABLE TO DRIVE.

MOPAR FUEL SENSOR /PUMP GIVING INCORRECT READS TO THE GAUGE. CAUSING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ALSO NOT ABLE TO GET AN ACCURRATE READING OF FUEL LEVEL

WHILE LIVING IN VIRGINIA IN 2015, I PROCEEDED TO TAKE MY DODGE RAM IN TO CORRECT A DEFECTIVE WIRE HARNESS. RECALL NOTICE R36, NHTSA 15-459 NOTED 'THE STEERING WHEEL WIRE HARNESS ON YOUR VEHICLE MAY BECOME CHAFFED BY THE DRIVER AIRBAG MODULE RETAINER SPRING ENDS. A CHAFFED STEERING WHEEL WIRE HARNESS COULD CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT AND/OR AN INADVERTENT DRIVER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. INADVERTENT DRIVER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, DURING CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS, MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH AND/OR VEHICLE OCCUPANT INJURY.' AFTER THAT RECALL WAS PERFORMED, I LOST ALL USE OF MY HORN, AND ELECTRICAL FEATURES INSTALLED ON THE STEERING WHEEL. I DROVE SEVERAL YEARS WITHOUT THESE FEATURES AND NEVER REALLY HAD TIME TO GET THIS EVALUATED BECAUSE OF MULTIPLE MILITARY DEPLOYMENTS. WE RELOCATED TO OHIO AND I DECIDED TO HAVE THE TRUCK EVALUATED AND BASICALLY THE RECALL WORK WAS NEVER CORRECTED BY FAIR OAKS CHANTILLY CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. ON JULY 8 THROUGH JULY 11, 2019, MY VEHICLE WAS SERVICED BY JEFF WYLER CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP IN BATAVIA, OHIO TO CORRECTED THE RECALL NOTICE R36, NHSTA 15-459. MY SERVICE MANAGER NOTED TO SUBMIT A CLAIM TO BE REIMBURSED FOR $403.78. THEY REACHED OUT TO CHRYSLER HEADQUARTERS FOR FURTHER CONSULTATION, HOWEVER, THEY NEVER RESPONDED TO MY SERVICE MANAGER.

SINCE THE LAST RECALL, THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD A MAJOR DELAY WHEN HITTING THE GAS PEDAL. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS DUE TO LACK OF POWER WHEN HITTING THE GAS PEDAL.

'TAKATA RECALL' WHILE MY VEHICLE IS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY IT IS UNLOCKING ON ITS OWN. HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVERY NIGHT FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS. I HAVE A SECURITY CAMERA AND CAN SEE THAT NOBODY IS MESSING WITH MY TRUCK.

FCA AEM RECALL. SINCE GETTING THE EMISSIONS RECALL DONE THE TRUCK NO LONGER RESPONDS LIKE IT DID. IT IS A LIFE SAFETY ISSUE. THE UPDATE HAS MAD THE TRUCK VERY SLUGGISH TO THE POINT IT FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL WHEN TRYING TO START FROM A STOP OR MERGING INTO TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE ALSO LOST 5-6 MPG SINCE THE UPDATE AND WILL NO LONG LET MY WIFE DRIVE IT TO DO LACK OF POWER TO EVEN GET MOVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V460000 (AIR BAGS), 15V459000 (STEERING), 17V302000 (AIR BAGS), 17V821000 (POWER TRAIN), AND 18V332000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR AS THE RECALL NOTICE WAS RECEIVED OVER A YEAR AGO. AUFFENBERG FORD O'FALLON (115 REGENCY PARK, O'FALLON, IL 62269, (618) 632-0090) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS UNABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. WHILE EXITING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT SHUT THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG, SEAT BELT AIR BAG, AND DRIVER'S SEAT AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT CALLED THE INSURANCE COMPANY TO START AN INVESTIGATION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

I HAVE A 2014 RAM ECODIESEL AND RECENTLY GOT THE AEM UPDATE. NOW WHEN THE VEHICLE HASN'T STARTED FOR 24 HOURS, THERE IS NO ACCELERATION UPON START-UP. BY THAT I MEAN YOU PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING HAPPENS FOR UP TO 3 SECONDS. THEN IT IS VERY SLUGGISH. SO IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC. THIS LAST FOR UP TO 5 MINUTES AFTER START-UP. THIS HAPPENS ON EVERY START-UP WHEN COLD.

AFTER GETTING THE AEM FLASH PER THE SETTLEMENT WITH EPA MY TRUCK IS SLOW TO ACCELERATE WHEN STARTING OUT. IT IS A MAJOR HAZARD TO DRIVE IN TRAFFIC. NUMEROUS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OCCURRENCES. ALSO - THE SETTLEMENT STATED "NO DRIVING DIFFERENCES" - FAR FROM IT. THROTTLE LAG - MPG DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY.

WE CAME HOME FROM A SHORT TRIP AND DISCOVERED TRAILER WAS RESTING ON TRUCK BED. IT TOWED FINE ON WAY HOME SO WE DID NOT NOTICE ANYTHING UNTIL WE STOPPED TO PARK IT. WE CALLED A REPAIRMAN WHO REMOVED SKIN AND FOUND AT LEAST 9 BROKEN WELDS. HE SAID WE WERE LUCKY WE DIDN'T KILL SOMEONE. HE CALLED A WELDER TO LOOK AT IT. HE SAID THE FRONT PORTION AROUND HITCH WAS BUILT LIKE A MAC TRUCK BUT THE SECTION PAST THAT WAS BUILT LIKE TISSUE PAPER. THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH SUPPORT OR BRACING AND THAT AREA FLEXED BADLY. HE SAID WE WERE LUCKY IT DROPPED DOWN SLOWLY, IF IT HAD SLAMMED DOWN THERE COULD HAVE BEEN FATALITIES. *DT CONSUMER STATED BOTH REPAIRMAN AND WELDER SAID FAULTY WELDS THAT FAILED AND LACK OF SUPPORT.*JB*DT CONSUMER CALLED THE DEALER.*JB*DT*TR

HAD THE V08 DONE TO MY TRUCK ON MAY 14. THE LAG IN THE TAKE OFF WHEN U R STOPPED IS GOING TO KILL SOMEBODY. WHEN U GIVE IT GAS IT HAS A BAD SLOW START AT LEAST 3 -5 SECONDS BEFORE U HAVE THE GET UP AN GO AN WHEN U DO IT IS LIKE A ROCKET . DIDNT DO THIS BEFORE THE V08 TUNE. AN THE RPMS R UP ALMOST TO 1 AN IT SETTING STILL . THIS VO8 IS A JOKE . IT HAS MESSED UP MY TRUCK . NO GOOD TRYING TO PULL A CAMPER . OR EVEN PULL OUT WITH OUT A BIG SPACE TO DO IT IN .

IN MAY I BROUGHT MY TRUCK INTO MY LOCAL RAM DEALERSHIP FOR A MANDATORY RECALL FOR THE ECODIESEL ENGINE SYSTEM AS PART OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT WITH THE EPA. THE TRUCK RECEIVED BATCH OF NEW SOFTWARE THAT SIGNIFICANTLY DAMAGED ITS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE SAFELY FROM A STOP. THERE IS CURRENTLY A 2-4 SECOND DELAY BETWEEN MY PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, AND RECEIVING A RESPONSE FROM THE ENGINE. THIS HAS LED TO NEAR MISSES, AS THE DELAY ISN'T ALWAYS PREDICTABLE. IT IS WORSE STARTING FROM A STOP HEADING UPHILL. THIS DELAY IS WHOLLY A PART OF THE RECALL INSTALLED ON MY VEHICLE IN MAY. IT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED THIS TYPE OF DELAY PRIOR TO THE SERVICE. THE VEHICLE ALSO SUFFERS FROM DELAYED RESPONSE WHILE MOVING, BUT THIS IS A SECOND OR TWO, AND CAN BE PREDICTED AND ACCOUNTED FOR. THE DELAY FROM START IS ABYSMAL, AND UNSAFE. MY LIFE, AND THE LIVES OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS, HAVE BEEN PLACED AT RISK DUE TO FCA'S INABILITY TO MEET EMISSION REQUIREMENTS WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE SAFE OPERATION OF MY VEHICLE. TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY, DEALERS KNOW ABOUT THE ISSUES, AND THE ECODIESELS ARE BRINGING EXTREMELY LOW TRADE-IN VALUE. I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN THE FIRST PLACE IF IT DROVE THE WAY IT IS TODAY.

I OWN A 2014 RAM 1500 WITH A 3.0L ECO DIESEL. THERE WAS A FEDERAL CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT WAS HANDED DOWN AND THE OUTCOME WAS AN APPROVED ENGINE MODIFICATION (AEM). THE AEM WAS A REFLASH OF THE ECM AND TCM. AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED, THE PERFORMANCE OF MY TRUCK DANGEROUSLY IMPACTED. IF I DRIVE MY TRUCK BEFORE THE ENGINE REACHES OPERATING TEMPERATURES OVER 150DEGREES, THERE IS SIGNIFICANT ACCELERATION DELAYS. IT USUALLY TAKES ME 5-10MINUTES OF DRIVING OR MORE THAN 20MINUTES OF IDLING (WARMING UP) TO GET THE ENGINE UP TO OPERATING TEMPERATURES. I CAN PUSH ON THE ACCELERATOR PETAL AND WAIT 3-5 SECONDS BEFORE THE TRUCK REACTS, THEN I GET PUSHED BACK INTO MY SEAT AND SOMETIMES SPIN THE DRIVE TIRES. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM TURNING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, OR TRYING TO OVERTAKE ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY. ALSO, PRIOR TO THE ENGINE REACHING OPERATING TEMPERATURES, I NOW EXPERIENCE 'TURBO FLUTTER' THIS IS WHERE TOO MUCH AIR IS FORCED INTO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND THE AIR IS PUSHED BACK THROUGH THE TURBO. THE TRUCK ACTS AS IF THE BREAKS ARE PULSING. SIMILAR TO THE ABOVE, IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM ACCELERATING, NOT WITH THE ACCELERATOR PUSHED TO THE FLOOR, JUST NORMAL, CONSERVATIVE DRIVING. A FEW OTHER CHANGES I HAVE FOUND AFTER THE AEM, I HAVE LOST SIGNIFICANT FUEL ECONOMY, GREATER THAN 10%, AND DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID (DEF) CONSUMPTION IS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER. THESE LAST 2 ITEMS DO NOT DIRECTLY EFFECT THE DRIVABILITY OF MY TRUCK BUT IF I HAD KNOW THESE THINGS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED AFTER THE RECALL, I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WAS ADVISED TO TAKE TRUCK IN FOR RECALL REFLASH DUE TO ECO DIESEL SETTLEMENT PACKAGE. AFTER RECALL FIX WAS CONDUCTED, ENGINE SLUGGISH, SHIFTING NOT SMOOTH AND MILES PER GALLON DROPPED SIGNIFICANTLY. ALL THIS AFTER A TRIP OF 8 HOURS AT LEGAL SPEED LIMITS.

ON 06/12/2019, I HAD THE V08 RECALL (AEM MODIFICATION UPDATE) DONE ON MY 2014 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL. THIS RECALL WAS REQUIRED AS PART OF AN EMISSIONS RELATED LAWSUIT. FCA ADVISED THAT THE UPDATED SOFTWARE IS NOT EXPECTED TO CHANGE ANY OF THE VEHICLES ATTRIBUTES TO INCLUDE VEHICLE PERFORMANCE, DRIVEABILITY, AND FUEL ECONOMY. AFTER HAVING THE RECALL WORK DONE, I HAVE NOTICED A SERIOUS CONCERN REGARDING THE ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE FROM A STOP (ESPECIALLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD OR NOT FULLY WARMED UP). WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THERE IS A DELAY IN THE ACCELERATION WHICH I CAN BEST DESCRIBE AS FEELING LIKE "SEVERE TURBO LAG." WHEN TRYING TO CROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION OR TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC, IF YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RESPOND LIKE IT DID PRIOR TO THE RECALL WORK. AFTER PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR HARDER AND GETTING THROUGH THE LAG IN ACCELERATION, THE TURBO FINALLY KICKS IN AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES QUICKLY BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO BASICALLY "FLOOR IT." I ALSO NOTICED WHEN DRIVING UP AN INCLINE AND STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, WHILE CONTINUING GRADUALLY UP THE INCLINE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RESPOND TO LIGHT/GRADUAL PRESSING OF THE ACCELERATOR. PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR HARDER CAUSES THE TURBO TO KICK IN AND THE VEHICLE TO DOWNSHIFT WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY . ON 06/26/2019, THE DEALERSHIP TESTED IT AND TEST DROVE IT FOR 12 MILES AND NOTING THAT THEY "DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANYTHING ABNORMAL WHEN COMPARED TO LIKE VEHICLES" AND "VEHICLE PERFORMING AS DESIGNED." MY WIFE AND I CONTINUED TO NOTICE THE SAME ISSUES AND I CONTACTED FCA AGAIN. THEY SAID THEY WOULD DOCUMENT IT AND SAID THAT I COULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN. I TOLD THEM THAT I WAS NOT GOING TO WASTE MY TIME AND REITERATED THAT THIS ISSUE WAS CLEARLY A RESULT OF THE UPDATE. FCA CLOSED MY COMPLAINT.

8/18/18 AT ABOUT 1:15 PM WHILE TRAVELING SOUTH ON US 220 IN THE LEFT LANE IN THE CITY OF WILLIAMSPORT PA DURING A CLOUDY BUT DRY DAY AT 55 MPH, THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHICH DISABLED MY VEHICLE AND DID APPROXIMATELY $4500 DAMAGE. FORTUNATELY, THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE TIRE WAS A GOODYEAR WRANGLER SR-A SIZE 275-60-20. THE TIRE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR OLD WITH 8/32 TREAD REMAINING AT TIME OF THE BLOW OUT. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING TO CAUSE THE BLOWOUT. AFTER THE BLOW OUT, I PULLED OVER THE LEFT SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY IN THE MEDIAN TO INSPECT THE DAMAGE. I THEN LIMPED THE TRUCK BACK TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD AND INTO THE GRASS TO GET TO A SAFE LOCATION FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. AT THAT POINT, I PROCEEDED TO REMOVE THE TIRE AND INSTALL THE SPARE AT WHICH POINT IT THEN STARTED RAINING. I BELIEVE THE SAFETY RISK WAS THE GOODYEAR TIRE. THE TIRE HAS BEEN SENT TO GOODYEAR TO EXAMINE. THEY STATED THERE WAS NO FACTORY DEFECT, HOWEVER, THEY REFUSED TO SEND ME A COPY OF THEIR REPORT DESPITE NUMEROUS REQUESTS. I STILL HAVE THE TIRE IN MY POSSESSION. GOODYEAR ALSO REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY KIND OF WARRANTY COVERAGE DESPITE THE FACT THE BLOW OUT OCCURRED WITHIN THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND MILEAGE. I DO HAVE A DASH CAM VIDEO OF THE BLOW OUT HOWEVER IT IS IN .MOV FORMAT I WAS NOT ABLE TO UPLOAD IT - I CAN PROVIDE A CD UPON REQUEST. MORE INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE THAN WHAT I WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE IN THIS COMPLAINT.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON OVER THE LAST 4 MONTHS. DURING THIS TIME THE LIGHT HAS GONE OFF AND ON NUMEROUS TIMES. JUST TWO WEEKS AGO A FUEL SENSOR FAILURE DISPLAYED ON THE DASH. THE FUEL GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY AND THE REMAINING MILES UNTIL EMPTY SHOWS AS LOW MILES. THE FUEL SENSOR FAILURE GOES OFF AND ON DEPENDING ON THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE TANK BUT THE CHECK ENGINE STAYS ON NOW. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS REVIEWS ON THE RAM 1500 FROM 2012 THROUGH 2016 HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. MOST OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP WITH FAIRLY LOW MILES ON THEIR VEHICLES.

RAM PERFORMED RECALL UPDATE V08 TO THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM ON THIS VEHICLE TO BECOME COMPLAINT WITH FEDERAL EMISSIONS. AFTER THE UPDATE THERE IS A 3 SECOND DELAY IN THROTTLE RESPONSE. THIS GENERALLY OCCURS WHILE THE TRUCK IS STOPPED AND IS TAKING A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS ALMOST RESULTED IN A COUPLE ACCIDENTS. RECALL V08 WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO EFFECT FUEL ECONOMY, BUT POST RECALL I LOST 6MPG.

'TAKATA RECALL' ELECTRICAL POWER WENT OUT IN MY 2014 DODGE RAM 1500. WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY REPLACED THE PDC FOR $737.69 AND A DAY AFTER THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WHILE DRIVING AND ALMOST CRASHED INTO SEVERAL CARS. *DT *DT*JB VEHCILE WAS REPAIRED.*JB

WHEN DRIVING ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE AT 70MPH WHEN THE POWER STEERING ASSIST SHUT OFF. I PULLED OFF, RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND IT WAS WORKING AGAINST. CHECKED THE FLUID LEVELS AND EVERYTHING WAS OK. NO MORE INCIDENT THAT TRIP. TOOK TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED A FAULTY POWER STEERING MODULE IN THE EPS. REQUIRED REPLACEMENT IF THE ENTIRE STEERING RACK. *DT INVALID VIN*JB

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSISTANT AT LOW SLOW SPEEDS CUTS IN AND OUT MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO HANDLE THE TRUCK. TRUCK HAS 51,000 MILES ONLY AND IS A 2014 I SEE THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE ON A YEAR LATER MODEL OF THE TRUCK BUT NOT ON MY VEHICLE.

I HAD THE RECENT RECALL COMPLETED AT MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AND AM NOW SCARED TO DRIVE MY TRUCK AS THERE IS CONSIDERABLE "LAG" UPON ACCELERATION. THIS IS A LIFE SAFETY ISSUE AS I WAS ALMOST STRUCK BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THEY STATED THE RECALL DID NOT AFFECT PERFORMANCE BUT IT HAS DEFINITELY AFFECTED PERFORMANCE. I BROUGHT IT BECK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY IT WAS DOING WHAT IT WAS DOING AND INSTEAD SAID I NEED TO CHANGE MY OIL THAT OF WHICH I CHANGED 2000 MILES AGO AND ALSO TRY AN INJECTOR CLEANER. MY FUEL MILEAGE HAS ALSO DECREASED FROM 25 OR 26 MPG HWY TO 20 MPG HWY.

FUEL SENSORS SHOWS LOW FUEL SHORTLY ANFTER FILLING UP. SYSTEM FAILURE STARTED AROUND 60,000 MILES.

AFTER EMISSIONS RECALL VO8 WAS PERFORMED IN MAY, THE THROTTLE RESPONSE IS GONE. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY CLOSE CALLS WHERE THE TRUCK WON'T GO WHEN THE GAS IS PRESSED. IT WAS PERFECTLY NORMAL BEFORE RECALL WAS DONE.

2014 RAM ECODIESEL - I RECENTLY HAD MY AEM RECALL COMPLETED AT AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WITH THE PROMISE THAT PERFORMANCE AND FUEL MILEAGE WOULD NOT BE AFFECTED. NOT ONLY WERE THEY BOTH NEGATIVELY AFFECTED, THEY WERE AFFECTED TO THE POINT OF A SAFETY CONCERN. MY GAS MILEAGE GOING DOWN BY OVER 5MPG IS NOTHING COMPARED TO ALMOST GETTING T-BONED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC DUE TO EXTENSIVE TURBO LAG (2-3 SECONDS) AFTER THE AEM WAS COMPLETED. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE WHEN I GO TO MAKE A LEFT TURN FROM A DEAD STOP, PRESS THE ACCELERATOR, AND THE TRUCK JUST SITS THERE. LUCKILY THERE HAS BEEN A SHOULDER FOR ME TO SWERVE INTO TO GET OUT OF THE WAY FROM BEING REAR-ENDED. THE 0-60 TIME WHILE ENTERING THE FREEWAY ON RAMP IS ALSO CAUSE FOR CONCERN. MULTIPLE TIMES I HAVE HAD A FELLOW DRIVE LAY ON THEIR HORN BECAUSE THE TRUCK JUST CANNOT GAIN SPEED FAST ENOUGH. NOW, IF I WERE GETTING BETTER GAS MILEAGE WITH THE DECREASE IN PERFORMANCE, THAT WOULD BE ONE THING. BUT TO GET SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE GAS MILEAGE AND HAVE THIS DEATH BOX NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED IS JUST AWFUL. FCA HAS LIED TO THEIR CONSUMERS WITH THIS UPDATE AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO HAVE THAT RECALL INSTALLED ON VEHICLES.

APPROACHING A STOP SIGN, I STEP ON THE BRAKES THEN VEHICLE WENT INTO A SLOW COAST MODE. ( A RED SIGN TURNED ON, INDICATING AN "ELECTRICAL BRAKE" ISSUE). THEN INDICATES "SWITCH GEAR TO PARK", SOON AFTER PROCEEDED AS NORMAL. THE NEXT DAY AS I WAS STOP ON A DRIVE THRU, SAME INDICATION OCCUR, ENGINE POWER WENT OFF THEN "ELECTRICAL BRAKE" , NEXT THING WAS "SWITCH GEAR TO PARK" RESUMING TO NORMAL OPERATION. VERY CONCERN ABOUT THIS IT IS MY ONLY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM DOCTORS VISIT, IT HAS ABOUT 46,000 MILES ON IT, VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF. WOULD NOT WANT IT TO FAIL ON ME AT A MIDDLE OF AN INTERCEPTION. IN BETWEEN THESE EVENTS, THEIR IS NO LIGHT THAT APPEARS. IS THIS A RECALL ISSUE THAT CAN BE ADDRESS IMMEDIATELY PLEASE THANK YOU.

SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM MESSAGE KEEPS COMING UP. THIS OCCURS WHILE STATIONARY, IN MOTION, ALL THE TIME.

OIL FILTER ADAPTER OIL LEAK DEALER REPLACED ONE SEAL .CONTINUES TO LEAK LESS. PENTASTAR V6 DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE OIL ADAPTER. FIRE HAZARD. BELL HOUSING AND TRANSMISSION PAN SOAKED WITH MOTOR OIL.

CRUISE CONTROL WON'T TURN ON. I'VE READ THAT IF I WAS ABLE TO TURN IT ON IT MIGHT NOT DISENGAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL TAPPING NOISE, WHICH WAS A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO JT'S DODGE LEXINGTON (4838 SUNSET BLVD, LEXINGTON, SC 29072, (803) 220-3725) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE DETAILS WERE NOT PROVIDED. THE CONTACT WAS WAITING TO FIND OUT IF THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT THE SAME DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE ALL REPAIRS FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,657. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

I WAS ACCELERATING MY TRUCK ON A CITY STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. THE POWER CONTROL MODULE, BATTERY CONTROL MODULE, CRANK POSITION SENSOR, TONE WHEEL AND POWER STEER CONTROL MODULE ALL FAILED AT THE SAME TIME. THE TRUCK SHUT DOWN AND HAD TO BE TOWED INTO THE DEALER.

LOST ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING CANNOT STEER TRUCK

THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD CONTINUES TO LEAK. I BELIEVE IT HAS TO DO WITH THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BRACKET BOLTS THAT BREAK. RAM CONTINUES TO REPAIR WITH THE SAME POOR QUALITY PARTS.

THE SHEET METAL BRACKETS THAT STEP BARS ATTACH TO HAVE RIPPED OUT. THE METAL IS WEAK AND RAM WILL NOT COVER IT UNDER THEIR WARRANTY.

WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP THE TRANSMISSION CONDUCTS A HARSH DOWN SHIFT FROM 3RD GEAR TO 2ND AND OR 2ND TO 1ST GEAR. I FEEL THAT THIS WILL CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION EVENTUALLY WEAR DOWN. DODGE MECHANICS SAY THERE ARE NOT FAULT CODES.

I WAS EXITING THE VEHICLE THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND I HAD PUT IT INTO PARK, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY WENT INTO REVERSE.I STEPPED OUT OF THE TRUCK AND WAS KNOCKED OVER MY LEGS WERE UNDER THE TRUCK I MANAGED TO GET THEM,OUT FROM UNDER THE TRUCK,THE EDGE OF THE FRONT WHEEL CAUGHT MY RIGHT FOOT PULLING THE SNEAKER OFF AND SPRAINING MY ANKLE. THE DOOR CAUGHT MY HEAD AND SPLIT IT OPEN. I HAD TO GO TO THE ER FOR MEDICAL ATTENTION. I WAS THE ONLY ONE WITH INJURIES AS NO ONE ELSE WAS INVOLVED IN THE ACCIDENT.THE TRUCK CONTINUED IN REVERSE AND RAN INTO A BOX VAN WITH A LIFT GATE. IT CAUSED ABOUT $6000 DAMAGE TO MY TRUCK THERE SEEMS TO BE NUMEROUS INCIDENTS OF PROBLEMS WITH THE ROTARY GEAR SHIFT ON THESE TRUCKS WHERE THE TRUCK HAS BEEN IN PARK AND THE TRUCK WENT INTO REVERSE. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL.

THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH 2014 RAM TRUCKS. THE FUEL SENDING UNIT WILL GO OUT SEND AN EML CODE AND THE FUEL GAUGE WILL DROP DOWN TO EMPTY EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A FULL TANK. DODGE WANTS TO CHARGE ME $1000 TO REPLACE THIS, SINCE I AM OUTSIDE OF THE OEM WARRANTY. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS TO ME. IT HAPPENED TO MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WHILE THEY WERE DRIVING MY TRUCK AND HAD TO STOP AND TOP OFF THE GAS TANK OTHERWISE THE TRUCK COULD HAVE SHUT DOWN. IT HAD 3/4 TANK OF GAS IN IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BECOME A RECALL.

IT STARTED OUT AS FLASHING INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND WIPERS RUNNING AND ENGINE WOULDN'T START. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND NOTHING WAS FOUND WRONG. MADE TWO MORE TRIPS FOR THE SAME THING UNTIL THEY SAID ANTS HAD GOTTEN INTO IT AND CHEWED ON THE WIRING INSTALLATION. THE HARNESS WAS REPLACED BUT NO EVIDENCE OF IT BEING REPLACED (ORIGINAL FACTORY TORQUE MARKINGS STILL VISIBLE). LESS THAN A YEAR LATER THE ELECTRICAL IS STILL NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON IS INTERMITTENT AT BEST. THIS MORNING THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START AGAIN AND THIS TIME IT HAD TO BE TOWED IN. STILL WAITING ON RESULTS.

THE POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY ONTO OUR STREET RESULTING IN INABILITY TO STEER THE TRUCK EFFECTIVELY. A WARNING LIGHT APPEARED & I HAD TO LOOK ONLINE TO SEE WHAT IT MEANT AS THE MANUAL DID NOT HAVE IT. I HAD TO HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED TO PUEBLO DODGE & SERVICE ADVISOR LESLIE LATER NOTIFIED ME OF A $2,300 COST TO REPAIR THE RACK & PINION TO GET THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WORKING AGAIN. I HAVE LEARNED THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2014 RAM 1500 P/U'S IN EVEN MORE HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS ON THE ROAD/STREET. IT HAS ABOUT 46,000 MILES ON IT. I AM TOLD THAT THERE IS NO RECOURSE BY THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SVC REP ERNESHA BUT SHE WILL FILE MY COMPLAINT. IT WILL NOT GO ANY FURTHER THAN THAT AS SHE SAYS IT IS NOT WORTHY AND OUT OF THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY. LESLIE SAYS IT IS NOT PART OF THE 100,000 MILE DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY. I WAS CONSIDERING PURCHASING A NEW RAM TRUCK AS WELL BUT ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT BASED ON THIS EXPERIENCE AS I WILL APPARENTLY HAVE TO PAY AT LEAST $2,300 TO REPAIR A HAZARDOUS DEFECT IN A RELATIVELY NEW VEHICLE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION OTHERWISE. I AM OBVIOUSLY VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS COMPANY AND SITUATION.

THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECELERATES FOR A FEW SECONDS WHILE DRIVING WHICH CAUSES LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. VERY UNSAFE CONDITION. POTENTIAL TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS ISSUE HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. ONCE APPROX A MONTH AGO AT ~94000 MILES AND THEN TWICE ON JUNE 8, AT APPROX 97000 MILES.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE, ON A TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION MY STEERING WHEEL WOULD JERK BACK THE OPPOSITE WAY. THIS WAS A SUDDEN ONSET WITHOUT WARNING. EVENTUALLY IT LED TO BARELY BEING ABLE TO TURN THE TRUCK AT ALL. NO SERVICE LIGHTS WERE ON, DEALER SAID THAT IT WOULD EVENTUALLY GO OUT AND NOT BE ABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE. MINE IS A 2014, THERE WAS A 2018 IN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALER. DEALER HAD ALSO HAD 4 OTHER TRUCKS (SAME MODEL) IN THE SHOP WITHIN THE LAST FEW WEEKS AND THE PART WAS ON BACKORDER. DEALER HAD NO INFORMATION ON A RECALL BUT IF THIS IS HAPPENING IN 2018 MODELS AND THE DEALER HAS THEM IN TO BE WORKED ON IN LARGE NUMBERS THIS CLEARLY SAYS THERE IS SOMETHING GOING ON. IT IS UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING NOT KNOWING WHEN IT IS GOING TO LOCK UP. I KNOW MY TRUCK HAS OVER 100,000 MILES BUT THERE ARE 2018 IN THERE THAT BARELY HAVE ANY ON THEM.

VEHICLE HAD WELL KNOW LIFTER FAILER INSIDE A 5.7L HEMI. THE FAILURE CAUSED A CAM SHAFT NOTCH TO BE PLACED IN THE LOBBY OF THE SHAFT. VEHICLE STILL HAS FACTORY WARRANTY BUT FACTORY OEM PARTS THAT ARE KNOW TO FAIL WE'RE PUT BACK IN. MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO POSSIBLE MOTOR FAILURE WHILE DRIVING LOOSING ALL POWER TO VEHICLE AND HARDNING OF BREAKING SYSTEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE, THE GEAR SHIFTER DID NOT ENGAGE AND THE VEHICLE MOVED FORWARD. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE WHEN THE GEAR WAS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURES BEGAN APPROXIMATELY THREE YEARS AGO WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURES HAD BECOME WORSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DOMINION OF BEDFORD (540-586-8221, LOCATED AT 1750 INDEPENDENCE BLVD, BEDFORD, VA 24523) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT NO FAILURE CODES WERE FOUND. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THERE WAS NO TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AND THAT THE VEHICLE PERFORMED AS DESIGNED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND REFERRED THE CONTACT BACK TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,000.

HAD TO REPLACE DRIVERS SIDE SEATBELT IN 2016 AT 22567 MILES. NO COST AS UNDER WARRANTY. HAD TO REPLACE SAME SEATBELT 2019 AT 83860. WAS CHARGED $277.78 FOR THIS. IN COMPLAINING TO FCA THEY SAID SEATBELT SHOULD HAVE BEEN UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY MAY REFUND MY CHARGES. BUT WHY DID A SEATBELT FAIL TWICE IN 5 YEARS? SEAT BELT WILL NOT ENGAGE IN THE RECEIVER BOTH TIMES

TAKATA RECALL. WHEN MY 2014 RAM 1500 IS STATIONARY, MOVING, OR JUST TURNED THE CAR ON. MY TOUCH SCREEN GOES BLACK, FREEZES, AND I CANNOT CONTROLL THE HEAT OR A.C, FAN SPEED, VOLUME TO THE RADIO, RADIO, HEATED SEATS, ANY ELECTRONIC BUTTONS ON MY STEERING WHEEL OR ANY OF THE BUTTONS THAT ARE CONNECTED TO MY SCREEN/RADIO. MY DAUGHTER'S BOY FRIEND JUST PURCHASED THE SAME YEAR TURCK I DID AND HE STARTED HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH HIS SCREEN.

I WAS DRIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS PULLING A BOAT ON A FISHING TRIP. COMING OFF THE LAST PASS INTO GUNNISON COLORADO, I HEARD KNOCKING HEARD A BIG BANG. THE TRUCK SHUT DOWN FOR LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE. COULDN'T START IT, COULDN'T GET IT INTO NATURAL. GOT IT TO A DIESEL SHOP FIGURED IT SPUN A ROD BEARING. I DID NOT KNOW THAT WHEN A VIEHICAL COMES DOWN FROM CANADA, IT LOSES ITS DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY! WE ARE ALL NORTH AMERICAN! WHAT EXACTLY IS BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE CRUSE CONTROL DID NOT ENGAGE. ON OTHER OCCASIONS, THE CRUISE CONTROL DID NOT DEACTIVATE. THE FAILURES OCCURRED FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BAXTER JEEP/RAM/CHRYSLER (7713 S 19TH STREET, BELLEVIEW, NE 68147) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HARNESS FOR THE STEERING COLUMN WAS SHORTING OUT AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. THIS RESULTED IN THE ACTIVATION OF THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP AND LOW FUEL MESSAGE. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT FCA IS WELL AWARE OF WITH THOUSANDS OF REPORTED CASES ONLINE.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE A 2014 RAM 1500 AND THE FUEL SENSOR WENT OUT ON IT WITH ONLY 18000 MILES. UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS PAST THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY COVERAGE SO IT'S NOT COVERED BY THE DEALERSHIP. UPON RESEARCH, I HAVE LEARNED THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE REPORTED BY MANY RAM OWNERS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND I FEEL IT IS A A SAFETY THREAT SINCE YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN YOUR VEHICLE. THIS COULD LEAD THE DRIVER TO BEING STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND UNSAFE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT THIS GETS TURNED INTO A RECALL. I REFUSE TO PAY OVER $1000 TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED JUST SO CHRYSLER CAN MAKE MORE MONEY ON NON-RELIABLE EQUIPMENT. THE VEHICLE CAN EITHER BE STATIONARY OR IN MOTION WHEN THE FUEL SENSOR HAS FAILED.

I BELIEVE WHEN MY TRUCK WAS IN FOR THE LAST RECALL THE DEALER SAID THEY NEEDED TO FLASH MY TIPM AND NO 8M HAVING STARTING ISSUES WITH MY TRUCK . THIS WILL BE THE FIFTH TIME MY TRUCK HAS HAD ISSUES AND NOT REALLY TRUSTING DODGE RIGHT NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, BUT DID NOT FIND A FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BOLTS TO THE MANIFOLD WERE DETACHED ON BOTH SIDES AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO 1-10 CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (LOCATED AT 79200 VERNER RD, INDIO, CA 92203, (760) 345-1000). THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED AND THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 119,833. *BF CONSUMER STATED I HAD COMPUTER COMPONENTS (RECALLED) REPLACED DUE TO THE SHIFTER COMING OUT OF GEAR. I FEEL THAT CAUSED TRANSMISSION DAMAGE WHICH I HAD NOTIFIED 1-10 CHRYSLER DODGE ABOUT. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION AT THIS TIME. I HAD THE MANIFOLD AND THE BOTS REPLACED.*JB

TAKATA RECALL WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK THE ROTARY KNOB WOULD SPIN BACK AND FORTH AND WOULDN'T MOVE OUT OF PARK. IT STATED SERVICE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER. I DICONNECTED THE BATTERY AND RECONNECTED IT. VERY QUICKLY I MOVED IT INTO DRIVE AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK INTO DRIVE AND IN MOTION . SHORTLY AFTER AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED FROM DRIVE INTO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN CAUSING THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE TO ACCELERATE AND ONCE I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY MANEUVER IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND IT WAS STUCK IN PARK. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP IN BUFORD, GA FOR FURTHER EVALUATION. THEY HAVE STATED IT WAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH A CODE IN THE COMPUTER.

FUEL SENSOR IS WRECKED AT UNDER 50K MILES. THE FUEL GAUGE WILL SUDDENLY GO TO 0 WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON IMMEDIATELY AFTER LAST GAS FILL. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR RAMS, FAULTY PRODUCT BY FAULTY MANUFACTURING.

I HAVE A 2014 RAM 1500 SLT 4WD CC I BOUGHT IT ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. ABOUT A WEEK AGO MY FRIEND AND I WERE ABOUT TO TAKE A DRIVE AND WHEN I STARTED IT MY FRIEND WHOM IS A MECHANIC SAID YOU EITHER HAVE AN ENGINE KNOCK OR AN EXHAUST LEEK. WELL I CHECKED IT OUT AT THE DEALER AND WELL THE EXHAUST LEAK WAS DUE TO A BROKEN BOLT IN THE MANIFOLD AND THEN THE DEALER CALLS ME AND SAYS YOU HAVE A LIFTER TAPING THEY SAID THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WOULD FIX IT BUT I HAVE SEEN A COUPLE OF VIDEOS AND FORUMS AND THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON BOTH IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHOM HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM I LOVE MY TRUCK BUT IF YOU SPEND THE KIND OF MONEY THAT WE RAM OWNERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE COVERED IVE BEEN TREATED WONDERFUL BY THE DEALER BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE RECODNISED BY CHRYSLER AND FIXED BY CHRYSLER IVE ONLY PUT 20000 MILES ON IT IT ONLY HAS 82000 TOTAL THIS SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM YET IF AT ALL I TREAT MY TRUCK LIKE A PART OF THE FAMILY IT GETS SERVICED REGULARLY MY TRUCK SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE KIND OF ISSUES PLEASE HELP DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS SOMEONE NEEDS TO

FUEL SENSOR FAILURE. IT IS A KNOWN ONGOING ISSUE WITH RAM TRUCKS (IT IS POSTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET) ABOUT ALL MODELS AND YEARS GOING THROUGH THIS DEFECTIVE SENSOR. IT HAS MY ENGINE LIGHT ON AND MY GAUGE STUCK ON EMPTY IF I DRIVE 15MILES ON A FULL TANK. (GAUGE ONLY WORKS IF TANK IF 100%FULL AND ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON EVEN THEN)

IT HAS AN EXHAUST LEAK IN THE MANIFOLD DUE TO FAULTY BOLTS. I HAVE RESEARCHED IT AND TALKED TO MECHANICS, AND IT IS A WELL DOCUMENT PROBLEM WITH DODGE/RAM VEHICLES. I HAVE LEARNED THAT IT USED TO BE COVERED UNDER SOME WARRANTIES, BUT NOT ALL. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A VEHICLE DEFECT THAT DODGE/RAM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING.

TRUCK MADE A LOUD PINGING NOISE, WHILE DRIVING ON A COUNTY ROAD, TRUCK APPEARED TO CATCH FIRE, CAB FILLED UP WITH BLACK SMOKE WITH SOOT WITH A BURNING SMELL WHICH CAUSED THE TRUCK TO SHUT DOWN. THREW A CODE OF LOW PRESSURE FUEL AND ENGINE LIGHT ON. HAD TOWED TO NEAREST DEALERSHIP, WHICH COULD NOT PULL UP CODES THROWN. CHANGED FUEL FILTER. COUPLE MONTHS LATER, WHILE DRIVING ON A COUNTY ROAD, TRUCK THREW CODE ELECTRONIC IGNITION THROTTLE CONTROL, COULD NOT GET ANY PRESSURE, SMOKING UNDER HOOD AND FROM BEHIND. APPEARED TO HAVE CAUGHT FIRE AGAIN BUT TRUCK DID NOT SHUT DOWN AS IN 1ST SITUATION. HAD TOWED TO NEAREST DEALERSHIP. HAS BEEN THERE NOW FOR 14 DAYS. HAVING TO REPLACE EGR COOLER AND INTAKE MANIFOLD ALONG WITH A LOT OF SEALS AS I LEARNED THEY ARE PLASTIC AND MELTED DUE TO FIRE TWICE. WHY WOULD DODGE MAKE ANY INTAKE ESPECIALLY ON AN ECO DIESEL PLASTIC? SOUNDS LIKE ASKING FOR A FIRE ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP. ALSO TOO...THESE PARTS BEING REPLACED AND BEING COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY ARE ALSO PART OF THE "ECO DIESEL SETTLEMENT" SETTLED ON MAY 3RD, 3019 WHICH MY TRUCK WAS TOWED ON MAY 2, WHICH IN THIS SETTLEMENT THEY AWARDED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE EXACT PARTS BEING REPLACED. I CURRENTLY HAVE NO PICS OR DOCUMENTS AS TRUCK IS STILL CURRENTLY AT DEALERSHIP BEING WORKED ON AS I WAS TOLD THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE AND THIS IS A VERY COMPLICATED TASK TO REPAIR.

VERY HARD TO STEER WHEN MOVING, ANY DRIVING CITY OR HIGHWAYMORE GOING AROUND TURNS OR TURNING CORNERS, IT GOES EXTREMELY HARD, THEN EASIER THE HARD AGAIN, I WAS TOLD THERE ARE RECALLS FOR IT STARTING 1/2015, THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS , I HAVE NO PICTURES SINCE YOU CAN'T SEE A PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE, DOES THIS AT ANY SPEED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. JUNEKS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (644 W JACKSON BLVD, SPEARFISH, SD 57783, (605) 644-7773) DIAGNOSED THAT THE BOLTS FRACTURED FROM THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

THE FUEL SENSOR FAILS AND CAUSES THE DRIVER TO RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE IN TRAFFIC. THE GAS GAUGE ONLY WORKS WHEN THE TANKS IS EXTREMELY FULL ONCE THE TRUCK HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR FIVE MILES IT GOES THE GAUGE READS EMPTY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. AS A RESULT THERE IS NO WAY TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH FUEL IS LEFT IN THE TANK.

HEADLIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, AND BRAKE LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 10 MPH WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE SERVICE ELECTRIC CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. FINDLAY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (10305 U.S. 224 WEST, FINDLAY, OH 45840, (419) 423-1715) DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED THE TURBO CHARGER, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. REINEKE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (207 W WATER ST, NORTH BALTIMORE, OH 45872, (419) 492-7003) WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED A SECOND TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,800.

I HAVE HAD 2 RACK PINIONS REPLACED AND WAS JUST TOLD THAT THE THIS ONE IS BAD TO. STIFF STEERING WITH IT CATCHING AT TIMES ALSO SERVICE STEERING LIGHT ON.

I STARTED GETTING A TICKING IN MY MOTOR AROUND 60K MILES. I TOOK IT TO TYLER'S CHRYSLER JEEP AND RAM IN NILES MICHIGAN FOR TWO RECALLS, THE TICKING SOUND ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, AND A POSSIBLE REAR MAIN SEAL LEAKING. THE SERVICE WRITER TOLD ME THEY PUT DYE IN THE OIL AND I HAD TO BRING IT BACK AND RECOMMENDED I REPLACE THE SPARK PLUGS FOR THE TICKING BUT DID PUT IN MY FILE WHY HE WAS RECOMMENDING IT. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO MY NORMAL MECHANIC FOR THE TICKING SOUND AGAIN AND NE SAYS I HAVE BROKEN EXHAUST STUDS. NOW I AM 2 MONTHS OUTSIDE OF MY WARRANTY AND THE DEALERSHIP WON'T COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THE SERVICE WRITER COULDN'T DO HIS JOB. IN DO RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE, APPARENTLY BROKEN EXHAUST MANIFOLD STUDS ARE SO COMMON ON THESE TRUCKS THAT REPLACING THEM IS CONSIDERED STANDARD MAINTANANCE???

UPON STARTING MY TRUCK BOTH WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS, THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER SCREEN FLICKERS AND INTERMITTENTLY BLACKS OUT. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS TO MOVE THE DIC DIMMER KNOB BACK AND FORTH TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. THAT ACTION DOES NOT CORRECT THE FLICKERING. THE DIC INFORMATION INCLUDES ENGINE ISSUES, CRUISE CONTROL, SPEED, VEHICLE SYSTEMS WARNINGS, TIRE AIR PRESSURE, OIL PRESSURE, OIL TEMPERATURE, WATER TEMPERATURE, CHARGING SYSTEM STATUS, ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM STATUS, ETC. I WAS TOLD "FEDERAL REGULATIONS REQUIRE ALL INFORMATION DISPLAYS BE CLEARLY LEGIBLE.". THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, CAN YOU HELP ME TO GET IT CORRECTED? LET ME KNOW. REGARDS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WENT TO RAM DEALER FOR RECALL #'S U61, U53, U07. WHEN VEHICLE WAS RETURNED AM NOW ABLE TO SHIFT FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE WITHOUT TOUCHING PARKING BRAKE WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. ALSO ABLE TO SHIFT FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE AND FROM DRIVE/REVERSE TO PARK WITHOUT TOUCHING BRAKE PEDAL. REPORTED PROBLEM TO DEALER 2/21/2019. DEALER HAS PROCRASTINATED IN FIXING ISSUE. NOTIFIED RAM CUSTOMER SERVICE 3/27/2019 TO HELP GET RECALL PROBLEM FIXED. DEALER STATED WOULD ORDER PART. NO CALLS AGAIN FROM DEALER. CALLED RAM CUSTOMER SERVICE 04/15/2019 AND PROBLEM HAS BEEN ELEVATED, BUT STILL NO FIX TO VEHICLE. DEALER AGAIN CALLED WITH NO SOLUTION TO CORRECT RECALL CREATED SAFETY ISSUE. AGAIN, VEHICLE CAN BE SHIFTED FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WITHOUT TOUCHING BRAKE PEDAL.

VEHICLE HAS JUST UNDER 77K MILES ON IT, POWERTRAIN WARRANTY EXPIRED END OF FEBRUARY DUE TO TIME RESTRAINT BEFORE REACHING THE 100K MILES LIMIT (7YR/100K MILE ON A CERTIFIED USED) VEHICLE PURCHASED MARCH 2016. WHILE DRIVING THIS WEEK THE POWER STEERING RANDOMLY FAILS CAUSING THE WHEEL TO SNAP TO ONE SIDE, AT FREEWAY SPEED THIS COULD BE FETAL. I HAVE READ FORUMS OF SEVERAL OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE IN THE PAST AND IT COSTING $2,000-4,000+ TO REPLACE THE ESP (ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING). PART IS NOT FIXABLE WITHOUT REPLACEMENT AND UNDER 100K MILES SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS ISSUE. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF THIS WOULD'VE HAPPENED AT FREEWAY SPEED, I HAD THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WHILE TURNING A CORNER AT APPROX 25MPH NEARLY SENDING ME OFF THE ROAD. RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND PROBLEM WENT AWAY LEADING ME TO BELIEVE IT MAY BE A ONE TIME SOFTWARE GLITCH. VEHICLE HAD NO PROBLEMS FOR THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS AND NOW THE STEERING HAS REPEATEDLY FAILED CAUSING ME TO BE UNABLE TO DRIVE IT.

FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY SHORTLY AFTER FILLING UP. THIS CAN CAUSE SAFETY ISSUES IF THE VEHICLE RUNS OUT OF GAS AND LEAVES THE DRIVER STRANDED AS THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS LEFT IN THE TANK. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH RAM TRUCKS AND A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS COUNTLESS PEOPLE THAT HAVE OR ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. OUT OF ALL OF MY YEARS DRIVING, I'VE NEVER KNOWN OF A SINGLE VEHICLE WITH THIS MANY FAILURES OF THIS TYPE.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE DO NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE ILLUMINATION FOR SAFE NIGHT TIME DRIVING ESPECIALLY ON WET PAVEMENT.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE STEERING STARTED TO GET ALMOST UN-STEERABLE AND STIFF. DEALER SAYS COMPLETE STEERING SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. TRUCK IS ONLY 4 1/2 YEARS OLD AND IS VERY WELL MAINTAINED. *DT *DT*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BOLT THAT HELD THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD FRACTURED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 126,000.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR IS ILLUMINATED. A CLICKING NOISE OCCURS WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED TO THE RIGHT. VEHICLE VEERS TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT UPON EXITING TURNS AND CONTINUING IN A FORWARD DIRECTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR FAILED TO OPEN PROPERLY. WHEN THE DOOR WAS OPENED AN INCH AND A HALF OR MORE, IT MADE CONTACT WITH THE FENDER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BROWNING DODGE (LOCATED AT 1983 HAMNER AVE, NORCO, CA 92860, (951) 272-3110) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR GASKET NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND CASE NUMBER: 58241629 WAS PROVIDED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

WE OWN A 2014 RAM 1500 LARAMIE. IT IS 3.22.19, SINCE JAN 4TH 2019 WE HAVE HAD 4 NEW COMPRESSORS INSTALLED AND WE JUST GOT OUR TRUCK BACK AFTER 1 MONTH OF NOT HAVING IT AND IT FAILED AGAIN FOR THE 5TH TIME AFTER DRIVING IT 15 MILES. WE ARE COMPLETELY DISAPPOINTED IN THE DESIGN OF THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION IN THIS TRUCK. WE ARE NOW AT A LOSS BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT HAD OUR TRUCK FOR 3 MONTHS AND STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON IT AND CANNOT DRIVE IT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A DEALERSHIP TO SELL A 28,000 TRUCK THAT YOU CAN'T USE OR DRIVE.

WHILE DRIVING, FUEL GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY, DISPLAYS 0 MILES TO EMPTY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, AND SCREEN DISPLAYS "FUEL SENSOR FAIL". AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE THE GAUGE WILL GO BACK TO THE CORRECT LEVEL AS WILL THE MILES TO EMPTY, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL REMAIN ON. THIS HAPPENS ANY TIME THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A COMPLETELY FULL GAS TANK, BUT IS ALSO SPORADIC AND DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL OF THE TIME.

THE SENSOR ON THE DEF TANK IN THE RAM 1500 ECODISELS IS FAILING. INSTEAD OF BEING ABLE TO BUY A SENSOR TO REPLACE IT RAM IS MAKING YOU BUY A WHOLE TANK TO REPLACE THE SENSOR. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MULTIPLE PEOPLE THAT I KNOW OF AND RAM STILL REFUSES TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V021000 (STEERING). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. CARL BURGER DODGE (8355 HERCULES ST, LA MESA, CA 91942, (619) 485-1485) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

. MY PICK-UP AVERAGED 24 PER GALLON BETWEEN LOCAL AND EXPRESSWAY DRIVING. EXPRESSWAY DRIVING ONLY (FOR EXAMPLE, TO NIAGARA FALLS IN 2015) AVERAGED 27 MILES PER GALLON. FOLLOWING REPLACEMENT OF SPARK PLUGS AND OIL CHANGE AND 2 FACTORY RECALLS MY PICK-UP LOST POWER AND COULD BARELY DO 20 MILES PER GALLON. THE ENGINE BECAME VERY LOUD. THE LONGER I DROVE IT, THE LESS MILEAGE I GOT -- THE ENGINE ALSO BEGAN HOWLING/WHISTLING AS I TRIED TO INCREASE SPEED. IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN SPEED, I HAD TO CONSTANTLY PRESS MY FOOT TO EXCELERATE, EVEN GOING DOWN INCLINES. I HAD TO CONTINUOUSLY BRING MY PICK-UP BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP IN ST. CHARLES, ILLINOIS BECAUSE VARIOUS SYSTEMS BEGAN TO FAIL -- SAFETY BREAKS, FUEL RELATED BLACK BOX, DASHBOARD PANEL SIGNALS , ETC. I EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT THE STRESS ON MY TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE. EVENTUALLY, BY PROCESS OF ELIMIMATION, SERVICE DEPARTMENT REVISITED THE 2 RECALLS -- ONE OF WHICH WAS THE CRUISE CONTROL RECALL. WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN AGAIN, THEY FOUND 6 LEAKS LOCATED ON THE TOP OF THE ENGINE. ANYTHING ABOVE 50-55 MPH IS DIFFICULT. I FEEL THAT THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT CHANGE GEARS IN A TIMELY FASHION, AND SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL. THE RPM IS VERY HIGH AND THE ENGINE REMAINS IN EXCERATION MODE EITHER TOO LONG OR, AT HIGHER SPEEDS, NEVER KICKS IN

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN, THE WHEEL FELT HARD TO TURN, BUT THEN WAS FINE AFTER THAT, ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER GETTING ONTO THE HIGHWAY THE WHEEL GOT TIGHT AGAIN, AND WHILE MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY THE WHEEL WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. TAKING AN EXIT AND MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN I HAD TO USE ALL OF MY EFFORT TO TURN AND STRAIGHTEN BACK OUT. FELT LIKE THE WHEEL WAS GOING TO LOCK UP. MAKING TURNS THE REST OF THE WAY BACK HOME WAS VERY DIFFICULT. THE EPS SYSTEM WILL TURN BACK ON WHEN THE WHEELS ARE ABOUT 3/4 OF THE WAY TURNED, AND TURN BACK OFF MAKING THE TURN VERY DIFFICULT THEN BRIEFLY EASY. BUT WHEN I WAS HAVING TO USE MY BODY TO TURN AND THEN EPS KICKS BACK ON I MADE A VIOLENT TURN AND HAD A VERY HARD TIME GETTING BACK STRAIT AND IN MY LANE

AIR SUSPENSION DOES NOT WORK IN THE COLD. HAS BEEN BACK AT THE DEALER MANY TIMES. NEW COMPRESSOR NEW SHOCKS AND STILL THE PROBLEM.

2014 DODGE RAM TRUCK. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FUEL SENSOR PROBLEMS. *LD *TR

SLIPPED OUT OF PARK, TRUCK WAS ON WHEEL RAMPS BUT NOT FULLY ON FLAT PART OF RAMP. I WAS CHANGING THE OIL ON THE VEHICLE. IT WAS ON THE RAMPS FOR AROUND 15 MINUTES AND ROLLED BACKWARDS. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL IN PARK AND LUCKILY I WAS NOT UNDER IT AT THE TIME. NOT MY SMARTEST MOVE NO BLOCKS BEHIND WHEELS AND NO PARKING BRAKE ON. I DOUBLE CHECKED AND VEHICLE STARTED AND WAS STILL IN PARK WITHOUT ME TOUCHING THE ROTARY DIAL. THIS SCARED ME ENOUGH TO BE CONCERNED. IGNITION OFF AND KEYS WERE IN OFF POSITION IN THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 72000 MILES AND I HAVE OWNED IT FOR AROUND 50000 OF THOSE MILES. I AM FAMILIAR WITH THE ROTARY DIAL.

ACCELERATION/ CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE: I HAD THE VEHICLE'S CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT (70 MPH) ON THE INTERSTATE. I ACCELERATED TO AVOID A BOTTLENECK IN AN AREA WHERE 3 LANES MERGED INTO TWO. WHEN I LIFTED MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I PUMPED THE BRAKE SEVERAL TIMES TO REDUCE THE SPEED, BUT I COULD NOT RESUME ACCELERATION BECAUSE THE GAS PEDAL LOCKED TO THE FLOOR. I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND COASTED TO THE SHOULDER. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, MANUALLY LIFTED THE PEDAL AND TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON. A DISPLAY MESSAGE STATED: SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL; BUT THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO OPERATE FINE. I HAD THIS EVENT HAPPEN TWO MORE TIMES. ONCE WAS IN A SIMILAR SCENARIO, THE OTHER I REPLICATED IT ON MY OWN. I CONTACTED THE RAM CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER, THEY ADVISED THAT I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS. IF IT IS DUE TO A RECALL IT WILL BE FIXED FOR FREE, OTHERWISE THE DIAGNOSIS COSTS AND REPAIR WILL BE ON ME. MY CONCERN IS THAT I HAD SEVERAL RECALLS FIXED ON NOVEMBER 23, 2018. THIS ISSUE HAD NEVER HAPPENED IN THE PAST UNTIL IT WAS SERVICED FOR THOSE RECALLS. I HAD AN INDIVIDUAL AT AUTOZONE ATTEMPT TO DOWNLOAD THE TROUBLE CODES; NO CODES WERE FOUND. I'VE READ FORUMS ONLINE ABOUT SIMILAR ISSUES, BUT DEALER(S) WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND THE CAUSE DURING DIAGNOSIS. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 33,000 MILES.

THE INCIDENT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME ON I40 IN AMARILLO TEXAS. I WAS DOING 75 MPH AND MY TRUCK LOWERED ALL THE WAY TO THE ENTRY EXIT SETTING ON THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION. I HAD LITERALLY NO SUSPENSION. AS I WAS TRYING TO SLOW DOWN AND TRYING TO PULL OVER I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. MY TRUCK LITERALLY BOUNCED LIKE A LOW RIDER AND MY HEAD HIT THE CEILING. I LOST CONTROL WHEN THE FRONT WHEELS HIT THE GROUND AND ALMOST CRASHED INTO THE CAR NEXT TO ME. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND MY SERVICE AIR SUSPENSION IMMEDIATELY LIGHT CAME ON. NOW MY AIR RIDE SUSPENSION WILL NOT RAISE UP AND CANNOT DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE IT BOUNCES UNCONTROLLABLY. I WAS RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM AND READING ON DODGE RAM FORUMS THAT THIS IS VERY COMMON FOR THESE TRUCKS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND A SERIOUS MATTER. IT COULD HAVE EASILY COST ME OR SOMEBODY ELSE OUR LIFE! THIS WAS VERY SCARY! DODGE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT!

AIR RIDE SUSPENSION FROZE UP WHEN TEMPS WENT BELOW ZERO. AIR RIDE DROPS TO BUMP STOPS WHILE DRIVING CAUSING HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS,WHICH HAS HAPPENED TO US WHILE HUNDREDS OF MILES FROM HOME. WITH NO SUSPENSION HITTING ANY TYPE OF BUMPS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO BOUNCE ANY DIRECTION AND VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL, AND IS HARD ON THE BACK. IT WILL RISE AND ACT PROPERLY THEN JUST DROP TO BUMP STOPS IN A SHORT TIME WITH NO WARNING. THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, AND CITY STREETS IN MOTION. THE COMPONENT IN QUESTION IS THE IS THE ENCLOSED NITROGEN AIR RIDE SUSPENSION CONTROLLING THE COMPRESSOR AND AIR BAGS.

BOUGHT TRUCK AS A CPO IN MAY 2015, A MONTH INTO OWNERSHIP ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, CODE P26AB, ENGINE COOLANT BYPASS VALVE. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE ABLE TO GET ME INTO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO CHECK IT OUT. TECH SAID THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING, IT MUST BE AN OLD CODE THEY DID NOT ERASE. THEN ON 3/4/19 SAME CODE RETURNED, P26AB. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON 2013 RAM FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.

MY WIFE AND I WERE ON A LONG ROAD TRIP WITH OUR INFANT DURING CHRISTMAS. ALL ASPECTS OF MY TRUCK WERE OPERATIONAL AND NO WARNING SIGNS. MY TRUCK IS AN ECODIESEL. ON THE WAY HOME THE TEMPS WERE BELOW FREEZING AND IT BEGAN TO RAIN. WE TRIED TO TURN THE HEAT ON IN THE TRUCK TO FIND THERE WAS NO HEAT. THE TRUCK WAS RUNNING AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE WITH NO SIGNS OF OVERHEATING. WE KEPT DRIVING UNTIL I COULD SAFELY EXIT THE HIGHWAY. WE FUELED UP AND I CHECKED THE TRUCK OVER VISUALLY BUT FOUND NO REASON FOR THE TRUCK TO HAVE NO HEAT AND STILL BE OPERATING UNDER NORMAL TEMPERATURES. WE RETURNED TO DRIVING AND HAD HEAT FOR A BRIEF MOMENT BEFORE IT STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. STILL THE TRUCK WAS OPERATING AT NORMAL TEMPERATURE. WHEN I FINALLY DECIDED TO CHECK THE ANTIFREEZE LEVEL, I LEARNED THAT THE TRUCK WAS VERY LOW AND DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH TO FILL THE HEATER CORE, BUT JUST ENOUGH TO KEEP THE TRUCK FROM OVERHEATING. I ADDED ANTIFREEZE AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE TRUCK FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND COULD NOT DETERMINE WHERE THE LEAK WAS. FINALLY, AFTER READING SEVERAL OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, I DISCOVERED A HIDDEN LEAK IN THE EGR COOLER THAT WAS ESSENTIALLY LEAKING AND BURNING OFF IMMEDIATELY LEAVING NO TRACE BEHIND OF THE LEAK. IT EVENTUALLY GOT BAD ENOUGH THAT IT WOULD LEAVE COOLANT PUDDLES UNDER THE TRUCK. EVEN WITH THE POOL OF COOLANT UNDER THE TRUCK, THERE IS NO VISIBLE EVIDENCE OF THE LEAK EXCEPT FOR MINOR DAMPNESS AROUND ONE PORT OF THE EGR COOLER.

THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION IN ALL OF THESE TRUCKS ARE FAILING IN CANADIAN COLD CLIMATES. MY TRUCK IS CONSISTENTLY RIDING ON THE BUMP STOPS WHEN IT'S COLD OUT CAUSING A VERY ROUGH RIDE THAT IS NOT GOOD FOR THE VEHICLE OR THE PASSENGERS. LET ALONE THE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IS DIMINISHED WITH ZERO SUSPENSION. WHEN IT GETS COLD (-15 OR SO) I WALK OUTSIDE TO SEE MY TRUCKS FRONT END ALL THE WAY LOWERED WITH THE REAR STILL AT NORMAL HEIGHT. WARMING UP TRUCK DOESN'T HELP. THE RIDE HEIGHT BUTTONS JUST FLASH AND WARNING SIGNS SOMETIMES DISPLAY ON THE DASH. MANY PEOPLE (INCLUDING ME) THEN GET BLOWN FUSES OR THE COMPRESSOR FAILS AND THEN THERE IS NO FIX BUT TO GO TO DEALER. DODGE REPLACED MY AIR RIDE COMPONENTS BUT IT DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I FEAR FOR THE COMING YEAR WHEN MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND DRIVING WITH MY KIDS AND I AM DRIVING AROUND WITH NO SUSPENSION. THERE IS ENOUGH PEOPLE THAT HAVE THESE SAME ISSUES AS I'VE DESCRIBED TO WARRANT A RECALL. THERE ARE CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS IN THE USA OVER THIS ISSUE. THERE IS A FACEBOOK GROUP DESCRIBING THESE FAILURES FURTHER. GROUP IS CALLED FCA RAM PICKUP AIR SUSPENSION FAILURES. IT IS UNFATHOMABLE THAT I AM SUPPOSED TO BE DRIVING AROUND IN A VEHICLE WITH MY KIDS IN A TRUCK THAT I'VE PAID MANY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR THAT DOESN'T HAVE SUSPENSION AND NO HELP FROM DODGE. THIS SHOULD BE A BIG ISSUE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO HAVE A BAD ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS.

AIR SUSPENSION WILL FREEZE UP IN NEGATIVE TEMPERATURES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING TRUCK OVER BUMPS, CAUSES VEHICLE TO LOSE STABILITY/TRACTION ON THE ROAD, ESPECIALLY ON ICY ROADS - CAUSING HIGH RISK FOR AN ACCIDENT.

AT ALL FOUR ROOF CORNERS THERE IS A LEAK THAT OCCURS DURING A RAIN STORM. THE ISSUE WITH THIS IS WINDOWS GET A MOISTURE ISSUE AND IMPAIRS VISSION WHILE DRIVING ALSO CREATES A MILDEW ISSUE . THIS CONDITION HAPPENS WHEN IT RAINS , WHILE DRIVING OR SITTING MOTIONLESS. ROAD SURFACE DOESN'T MATTER.

MY MAIN COMPLAINT IS THIS IS A REACCURING PROBLEM WITH THEIR FUEL SENDING UNITS WITH MANY RAM OWNERS AND ALL FCA WILL TELL YOU IS TAKE IT TO YOUR DEALERSHIP. $476.00 LATER THEY REPLACED THE OLD SENDING UNIT WITH THE SAME OEM PART NUMBER THAT I BELIEVE IS A FAULTY PART AND THEY WILL ONLY WARRANTY THIS PART GOT 2 YEARS. FCA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND IF THE COMPANY FEELS THAT IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF RELACEMENT THAT NEEDS TO BE EXPRESSED TO THE CUSTOMER WHEN FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THEM.

THIS TRUCK HAS THE OPTIONAL AIR SUSPENSION, WHICH WILL NOT FUNCTION IN COLD WEATHER. THE COMPRESSOR AND LINES GET POLLUTED WITH MOISTURE WHICH FREEZES, CAUSING THE PUMP TO NOT WORK AND CONTROL VALVES TO STICK. THE RESULT IS THE TRUCK HAS NO SUSPENSION WHATSOEVER. WARMING THE TRUCK UP IN THE SHOP RESTORES FUNCTIONALITY TEMPORARILY. THE DEALERSHIP AND FCA ITSELF WILL ONLY REPLACE COMPONENTS, WHICH DOES NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. I HAVE STARTED A FACEBOOK ACTION GROUP THAT HAS NUMEROUS OTHER OWNERS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. FCA WILL NOT RECALL OR CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT.

THE HEMI ENGINE HAS A KNOWN ISSUE FROM 2009 5.7 HEMI UP UNTIL PRESENT BUT RAM IS NOT RECALLING THE ENGINE. THE LIFTERS ARE SEIZING CAUSING THE ENGINE TO FAIL. THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS. THESE ARE FAILING BEFORE 70K MILES AND MINE IS STARTING TO FAIL AS WELL. ITS A 4000 DOLLAR FIX WHEN THEY DO. DODGE RAM NEEDS TO RECALL THIS ISSUE. I PURCHASED MY TRUCK FOR $26000 AND HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR LESS THAN 2 YEARS.

I HAD 2 MORE RECALL NOTICES SENT TO OUR HOUSE IN REGARDS TO THIS VEHICLE. I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE RECALLS DONE BETWEEN THE DATE THEY ARRIVED HERE AND THE FIRST OF THIS YEAR DUE TO SOME HEALTH ISSUES. SINCE RECOVERING FROM THE ISSUES I GOT ON THIS SITE TO SEE WHAT EXACTLY THE RECALLS WERE AND NOW NOTHING POPS UP WHEN I ENTER THE VIN #. I CALLED THE DEALER AS WELL AND ASKED AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL AT THIS TIME. I FIND THIS FUNNY SINCE IVE GONE TO OITHER SITES AND LOOKED UP RECALLS AND THIS VEHICLE HAS A HISTORY OF 12 RECALLS. I AS WELL KNOW THAT NOT ALL OF THE RECALLS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO MOVE OUT OF PARK. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAYED "SHIFT TO PARKING OR DESIRED GEARS". THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 138,000.

MY TRUCK HAS THE "4-CORNER AIR SUSPENSION" WHICH WAS STANDARD ON MY MODEL. IT REPEATEDLY FAILS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE GETS BELOW FREEZING. IT WILL TYPICALLY DROP THE FRONT END VERY LOW AND SOMETIMES EVEN THE REAR END. THIS HAPPENS WHILE PARKED OR DRIVING. IT IS TERRIFYING TO DRIVE WHEN THIS HAPPENS - BUMPS NEARLY THROW YOU OFF THE ROAD AND STEERING IS UNPREDICTABLE. I CANNOT FIND A DEALER THAT IS SURE THEY CAN FIX IT, AND THE PROPOSED "MAYBE" FIXES ARE UPWARDS OF $2000. I CANNOT SAFELY GET TO WORK SOME DAYS AND I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 2 WINTERS - WHEN I WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY THE DEALER TOLD ME FCA HAS NO FIX AND I SHOULD JUST IGNORE IT UNTIL IT WARMS UP. I CANNOT CONTROL THE CLIMATE. THE MOST COMMON WARNING INDICATED ON THE DASH IS "SERVICE OR REPAIR AIR SUSPENSION IMMEDIATELY" WHICH IS RIDICULOUS SINCE I MIGHT BE HUNDREDS OF MILES FROM HOME AND THE DEALER WON'T REPAIR IT ANYWAYS. THE SECOND MOST COMMON WARNING IS THAT THE PAYLOAD HAS BEEN EXCEEDED. THIS WILL COME UP EVEN WITH THE TRUCK EMPTY. EVERYONE I HAVE SPOKEN TO THAT HAS THIS SUSPENSION REPORTS THE SAME SCARY EXPERIENCES AND FCA HAS NOT OFFERED A FIX TO ANY OF THEM. I CANNOT AFFORD TO TRADE IT AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP IT. PLEASE HELP!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT SMELLED FUMES INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE FAILED. IN ADDITION, THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. JACKSONVILLE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM ARLINGTON (9600 ATLANTIC BLVD, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32225, (877) 677-5782) REPAIRED THE TURBO CHARGER. GALEANA CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (14375 S TAMIAMI TRAIL, FORT MYERS, FL 33912, (239) 481-2600) FLUSHED THE ENGINE AND STATED THAT THE WIRE HARNESS WAS NOT CONNECTED PROPERLY AND WAS TO CLOSE TO THE OIL PAN, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE ENGINE TO FAIL. THE FAILURES CONTINUED AFTER THE REPAIRS. THE DEALER HAD NOT RELEASED THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

ENGINE LIGHT ON, DIAGNOSTIC READING: CYLINDER 6 MISFIRE DETECTED. RANDOM/MULTIPLE MISFIRE DETECTED. NUMBER 6 CYLINDER HAS A HIGH COUNT OF NO COMPRESSION. THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON STATIONARY AND IN MOTION.

ENGINE KEEPS OVERHEATING INTERMITTENTLY AND DEALERSHIPS IS NOT ABLE TO FIND THE ISSUE LOOSES COOLANT AND SMELLS LIKE COOLANT WHILE ITS RUNNING AND AFTER JUST GETTING SHUT OFF AFTER DRIVING. I HAVE HAD TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP 14 TIMES NOW AND NOTHING IS GETTING DONE.

I HAVE BEEN TO RAM DEALERS IN LAS VEGAS SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST 16 MONTHS TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE SHIFT INTERLOCK SYSTEM RECALL AND THEY ALWAYS TELL ME THAT THE PART FOR REPLACEMENT IS NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME AND THEY WILL CALL ME WHEN THEY GET THE PART . 2. I HAVEN'T BEEN CALLED OR MAILED A LINK RECALL NOTICE FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM RECALL. I HAVE ALSO HAD MY TRUCK IN THE SHOP FOR AIR BAG SENSORS FAILURE MESSAGES. MOST RECENTLY FEBRUARY 2018 AND THE MESSAGES KEEP REPEATING. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY HAVE REPLACED THE SEAT SENSORS AND WIRING HARNESSES SEVERAL TIMES THE LAST TIME THEY HAD MY TRUCK FOR 4 DAYS WITHOUT FURNISHING A LOAN OR RENTAL CAR. I'M A 100% DISABLED VETERAN AND USE A WHEELCHAIR THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE WITH A WHEELCHAIR LIFT INSTALLED TO LOAD, UNLOAD AND TRANSPORT MY WHEELCHAIR WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?

DODGE RAM STEERING RECALL ALERT- THIS SAME SITUATION HAPPENED TO ME IN MY MODEL 2014 DODGE RAM 1500 BIG HORN. RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED THE NUT HOLDING THE STEERING KNUCKLE AND RIGHT CONTROL ARM SEPARATED WHILE DRIVING. I FELT A HUGE POP AND JERK OF THE STEERING WHEEL. LUCKILY I WAS TRAVELING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED. I TOOK TO SUNCOAST DODGE DEALER IMMEDIATELY, HE SAID I WAS LUCKY I COULD IF I WAS ON THE FREEWAY WHICH I WAS SHORTLY BEFORE. HE SAID HE HAS NEVER SEEN A NUT FALL OFF BEFORE, BUT IT DID AND, COULD ROLLED AND CAUSED SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I WAS CHARGED FOR REPAIR AND PICKED UP TRUCK TODAY 2/5 THEN SAW RECALL FOR THIS EXACT SITUATION RELEASED TODAY BY CHRYSLER FIAT, BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED.

OIL LEAK ORIGINATING FROM REPORTED FAILED FILTER HOUSING ADAPTER (PER DEALER INVESTIGATION) ON PENTASTAR 3.6L V6 ENGINE. SLOW LEAK BEGAN TO OCCUR IMMEDIATELY AFTER PREVIOUS DEALER-PERFORMED OIL CHANGE IN LATE 2018. 2/4/19 REGULAR-INTERVAL DEALER-PERFORMED OIL CHANGE FOUND OIL ALL OVER BOTH SIDES OF ENGINE. TECHNICIAN ADVISED OF REPLACING OIL FILTER HOUSING/OIL COOLER ADAPTER AND ASSOCIATED GASKETS FOR QUOTE OF $995. LEAK OBSERVED ON PERSONAL GARAGE FLOOR, AS WELL AS ALONG DRIVEWAY (WHILE IN MOTION), SINCE PRIOR OIL CHANGE. MULTIPLE INTERNET SEARCHES FIND FAULTS OF THIS EQUIPMENT ACROSS A WIDE VARIANCE OF 2014 3.6L PENTASTAR V6 ENGINES INSTALLED IN VARIOUS FIAT-CHRYSLER AMERICA MODELS.

TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE ON AIR BAG LIGHT ISSUE TO THE DEALER, LAWTON CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM'S TRUCK CENTER LOCATED AT 215 SE INTERSTATE DR., LAWTON, OK 73501. I WAS INFORMED BY AN EMPLOYEE THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS A COMMON ISSUE DUE TO A BAD DESIGN AND A CHEAP PLASTIC WIRING HARNESS LOCATED UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT. ANY SEAT ADJUSTMENTS, LOOSE OBJECTS ROLLING UNDER THE SEAT, OR EVEN A REAR PASSENGERS FOOT COULD POTENTIAL MAKE CONTACT WITH THE HARNESS IN A MANNER THAT BREAKS IT AND MAY TRIGGER THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO COME ON.. INTERSTATE DR. MARTIN OK 73501 I WAS INFORMED BY EMPLOYEE THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS A COMMON ISSUE DUE TO A BAD DESIGN IN THE CHEAP PLASTIC WIRING HARNESS LOCATED UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT IN THE SEAT THAT JUST MEANT LOOSE OBJECTS ROLLING UNDER THE SEAT OR EVEN A REAR PASSENGERS FOOT COULD POTENTIAL MAKE CONTACT WITH THE HARNESS IN A MANNER THAT BREAKS THE PLASTIC PART. THIS WOULD TRIGGER THE AIRBAG LIGHT. MY CONCERN IS, WILL THE AIRBAG FUNCTION PROPERLY IF I'M IN AN ACCIDENT? *DT DODGE ADMITTED IT WAS POOR DESIGN.*JB

ALREADY WROTE THE REVIEW...READ IT

DURING COLD WEATHER IN MINNESOTA, THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILED TO RESPOND CAUSING MY TRUCK TO GO INTO THE DITCH.

MAJOR OIL LEAK ENGINE COOLER. CAUSING OIL TO LEAK WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS GETTING ON THE TIRES. ON WET ROADS THIS HAS CAUSED THE REAR END OF THE TRUCK TO FISHTAIL AT NORMAL DRIVE SPEEDS AROUND CURVES AND TAKE OFFS.

THE TRUCKS AIR RIDE SUSPENSION WILL NOT WORK CORRECTLY IN COLD CONDITIONS ON A HIGHWAY OR IN A STATIONARY POSITION .THE AUTOMATIC AIR SUSPENSION WILL GIVE OUT AND THE TRUCK WILL FEEL LIKE IT IS RIDING ON THE FRAME AND CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE IS COMPROMISED.THE SYSTEM WILL ALSO RETURN BACK TO NORMAL FUNCTIONS WITH WARMER WEATHER.BROUGHT TRUCK TO DEALER AND THEY CLEAR THE FAULT CODES AND SAY AIR SUSPENSION IS WORKING NORMAL.READ A LOT ABOUT OTHER RAM TRUCKS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS.

MY RAM 1500 AIR SUSPENSION HAS FAILED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, LEAVING THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK SAGGING DOWN ON THE RUBBER BUMP STOPS. THIS CONDITION LEAVES ME WITH NO SUSPENSION IN THE FRONT, OFTEN WHEN AWAY FROM HOME. THIS CONDITION HAS LEFT ME ON THE HIGHWAY WITH ADVERSE HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS, SUCH AS SHUDDERING OF THE FRONT END. I HAVE HAD THIS IN THE SHOP AT THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE FIRST TIME FOR OVER A MONTH. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT MANAGER ACKNOWLEDGES A PROBLEM, BUT TOLD ME THERE IS "NO FIX" UNTIL RAM COMES UP WITH ONE. THIS CONDITION ONLY HAPPENS IN BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES AND GOES AWAY WHEN TEMPERATURES RISE. THERE ARE MANY OTHER OWNERS REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM, WITH THE SAME RESPONSES FROM THEIR DEALERS. THIS PROBLEM HAS CREATED A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION FOR ME, PERSONALLY, AND OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THIS HAPPENING WHILE UNDERWAY, WITH ONE WHOLE SIDE OF THEIR VEHICLE DROPPING WHILE UNDERWAY. I'M HOPING THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN TO ME. WHEN WILL FCA BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE? SOON, I HOPE.

I HAD A WATER PUMP FAILURE, CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. A FLATBED TRUCK CAME TO PICK IT UP. AFTER THREE WEEKS IN THE DEALER THEY CALLED ME IT WAS READY FOR PICK UP. I WENT THERE, INSPECTED THE WORK ALL WAS DONE CORRECTLY. WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP MY KEYS, THEY TOLD ME THAT DODGE DOES NOT INCLUDE THE "LIQUIDS" AND THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR THE COOLANT USED, $29.98 THEY CHARGED ME. I WENT TO TALK TO THE MANAGER AND ASKED HIM AND HE SAID THAT DODGE DOES NOT COVER FOR ANY LIQUIDS, IF YOU MAKE AN ENGINE REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY, CUSTOMER PAYS FOR THE OIL AND FILTER, IF A REPAIR IS DONE ON THE AXLE, CUSTOMER HAD TO PAY FOR THE AXLE FLUID, IT IS INCREDIBLE!! GM INCLUDES EVERYTHING. MY TRUCK IS A 2014, BUT ONLY HAS 30K MILES ON IT, FIRST THIS IS NOT SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN AT THIS LOW MILLAGE, AND SECOND IF THE DEALER IS GOING TO DO THE JOB, AFTER HAVING THE TRUCK SITTING IN THEIR YARD FOR THREE WEEKS, THE LEAST YOU COULD DO IS INCLUDE THE COOLANT. DON'T YOU THINK. HOW DOES THE GOVERNMENT ALLOWS THIS? THERE SHOULD BE A LAW PROTECTING THE CUSTOMER FROM THIS KIND OF RIP OFFS. ALMOST THIRTY DOLLAR FOR COOLANT IT IS OUTRAGEOUS.

THE HEAT IS ONLY WORKING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY TRUCK AND IT'S ONLY 5 YEAR OLD WHY AM JUST NOW HAVING THIS PROBLEM EVERY THING IS WORKING PROPERLY BUT THE HEAT

ENGINE KEEPS STALLING RANDOMLY COMING TO A STOP OR IDLING DURING TIMES, WANTS TO TURN OFF WHILE PUTTING IN REVERSE, HAVE HAD A NEW BATTERY PUT IN AND ALTERNATOR HAS CHECKED OUT GOOD THROUGH DODGE THEMSELVES. ISSUES STARTED HAPPENING IN NOVEMBER WHEN THE TEMPERATURES GOT COLD. PURCHASED TRUCK IN JULY 23. HAD AN INTERLOCK SYSTEM PUT IN AND HAD NO ISSUES WITH IT UNTIL WINTER.

THE FACTORY "AIR RIDE" SUSPENSION FAILS IN COLD WEATHER. THE AIR BAGS COMPLETELY DEFLATE, LEAVING THE VEHICLE WITH NO SUSPENSION. LOSING ALL SUSPENSION ABILITY WHILE DRIVING IS A SERIOUS RISK TO LIFE. ENCOUNTERING SMALL POTHOLES OR ICY ROADS WITHOUT SUSPENSION INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD OF WRECKS. THE LOWERING OF THE SUSPENSION CHANGES THE STEERING GEOMETRY REQUIRED TO PROPERLY STEER A VEHICLE ON THE ROADS. CAMBER, CASTER, AND TOE OF THE STEERING GEOMETRY ARE NEGATIVELY EFFECTED AND WILL RESULT IN INCREASED LIKELIHOOD OF WRECKS. I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIPS IN ALASKA AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION DOES NOT FUNCTION HERE BUT CANNOT MAKE REPAIRS. I CALLED DODGE CORPORATE LINE AND THEY ASK ME TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIPS THAT INFORM ME THAT THERE IS NO FIX. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL ON THE RAM 1500 AIR RIDE SUSPENSION AS THIS IS A SERIOUS RISK TO LIFE ALLOWING THESE VEHICLES TO OPERATE IN COLD CLIMATES.

VEHICLE STALLS AND LOSES ALL POWER AND ELECTRICAL, SHIFTING ITSELF INTO PARK WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS DUE TO THE FAULTY TIPM IN CHRYSLER VEHICLES. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING WITH MY WIFE AND CHILDREN ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON MANY OTHER OCCASIONS; THERE IS NO WARNING OR INDICATION THAT IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN, IT JUST HAPPENS. THIS IS UNSAFE AND COULD RESULT IN MULTIPLE FATALITIES. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE DECEMBER 2018. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MAY 2018. AFTER DOING RESEARCH AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE HAVE DONE NOTHING TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. HAD I KNOWN THAT PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE WOULD ENDANGER MY FAMILY, I NEVER WOULD HAVE EVEN CONSIDERED BUYING IT.

I HAVE NOTIFICATIONS OF THESE VARIOUS RECALLS AND HAVE TRIED TO GET THESE CORRECTED OR AT LEAST CHECKED OUT AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY TRUCK. FIRST I WAS TOLD THAT APPOINTMENTS WERE NOW REQUIRED. THEN I WAS ADVISED THAT 1ST COME/1ST SERVED WAS NOW REQUIRED AND FULL SCHEDULES ARE USUAL. NOW I RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTIFICATION. I CARE FOR MY RAM, BUT MY TIME IS ALSO IMPORTANT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR SUSPENSION WAS DROOPING DOWN WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION OR IN A STOPPED POSITION. THE DEALER (BRICKNER'S OF WAUSAU, 2525 GRAND AVE, WAUSAU, WI 54403, (715) 842-4646) STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND A FAILURE, BUT SPECULATED THAT THE COLD WEATHER MAY HAVE CAUSED TO SUSPENSION TO DROOP. THE DEALER SUGGESTED THAT THE CONTACT PARK THE VEHICLE IN A GARAGE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

AIR SUSPENSION FAILS IN COLD WEATHER, SOMETIMES TURNS OFF TRACTION CONTROL AND PROVIDES A ROUGH RIDE IN ICE AND SNOW, MAKING THE VEHICLE LESS SAFE. THIS OCCURS IN ALL TYPES OF DRIVING AND HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT IT.

FUEL SENSOR FAILED AT 61K MILES. ECO MODE NOT AVAILABLE, UNKNOWN AMOUNT OF FUEL IN TANK CREATES A DRIVING HAZARD REGARDING RUNNING OUT OF FUEL.

RADIO AND SCREEN GOES BLANK AND STAYS BLANK FOR A PERIOD OFF TIME (INTERMITTENTLY) WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE. IT EFFECTS THE CLIMATE CONTROL IE: (DEFROSTER AND HEATER CAN'T BE TURNED ON), REAR CAMERA, OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE, DIRECTION, PHONE, RADIO AND THE SEAT WARMERS DON'T WORK. THIS HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY AND IN MOTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD CLAMPS FRACTURED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE WAS FILLED WITH EXHAUST FUMES. SUNSET DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM FIAT (7745 S TAMIAMI TRAIL, SARASOTA, FL 34231, (941) 922-2400) STATED THAT THEY WERE NOT AUTHORIZED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SET OF BOLTS; THEREFORE, THEY ONLY REPLACED THE FRACTURED BOLTS. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO STATED THAT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLACE ALL OF THE BOLTS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE ENGINE REVVED AND THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. ALSO, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY AND THEN DECREASED WITH A KNOCKING NOISE PRESENT. FURTHERMORE, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT TEXAS DODGE (7800 I-40 FRONTAGE RD, AMARILLO, TX 79106, (806) 353-6343) PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V332000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL), BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE FAILURES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND THE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED AGAIN, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 127,000. *DT*JB

WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP, TWICE THE ENGINE HAS STALLED AND TWICE IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO STALL BUT INSTEAD CAME OUT OF GEAR. WHEN IT CAME OUT OF GEAR THE SHIFT KNOB STILL INDICATED "D" BUT THE LIGHT WAS FLASHING AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SAID TO SHIFT INTO PARK AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE

WAS DRIVING MY 2014 RAM 1500 HEMI 5.7 LITER WHEN I GOT ERROR MESSAGE POWER STEERING GUILD MAINTENANCE NEEDED. THE 2014 RAM MODEL HAS NO RESERVOIR SO I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER. THE DELEARSHIP COULDN'T CLEAR MESSAGE NOW SAYING WHOLE PART RAC AND PIN NEED TO BE FIXED. THE TRUCK WAS RUNNING FINE NO ISSUES ALL OF SUDDEN GOT MESSAGE AND COULDN'T TURN STEERING WHEEL. I READ SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM 2015 RAM 1500 PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2014 MODEL. I WOULD UPLOAD DOCS. BUT THE DEALER HAS MY TRUCK.

THE RAM 1500, 2014, THAT I CURRENTLY DRIVE HAS TERRIBLE HEADLIGHTS. AS THE TRUCK HAS GOTTEN A LITTLE OLDER THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE GOTTEN MUCH WORSE. THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN TERRIBLE SINCE DAY ONE. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO HAVE THE HEADLIGHTS PROFESSIONALLY BUFFED OUT, AND I HAVE CHANGED ALL FOUR BULBS WITH THE BEST BULBS I CAN FIND. ALMOST NO DIFFERENCE. THE TRUCK IS A DANGER TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I CANT SEE AT ALL. I AM SURE PEOPLE HAVE TROUBLE SEEING ME AS WELL.

LAST NIGHT I PARKED MY TRUCK IN MY DRIVEWAY LIKE I BEEN DOING SINCE I HAD THE TRUCK WHICH I BOUGHT NEW AND LAST NIGHT I PARKED LIKE I USUALLY DO AND THIS MORNING I WAS INFORMED THAT MY TRUCK HAS ROLLED OUT OUT THE SPOT WHERE I LEFT IT TO THE EDGE OF THE STREET WHILE STILL IN PARK. IT COULD HAVE BACKED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE OR EVEN WORSE A KID

OIL LEAKING FROM 2014 3.6L V6 ENGINE OIL FILTER HOUSING ADAPTER

2014 RAM 1500 LARAMIE ECODIESEL THROWING FAULT CODE P203E REDUCTANT LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT INTERMITTENT/ERRATIC. THIS FAULT IS CAUSED BY CRYSTALLIZED DIESEL EXHUAST FLUID (DEF) ON THE INTEGRATED SENSOR IN THE DEF TANK. THE SENSOR IS UNABLE TO DETECT THE AMOUNT OF FLUID IN TANK AND WILL SHUT DOWN ENGINE AFTER 500 MILES IF THE TANK IS NOT REPLACED. I DO BELIEVE AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT RECALLS FOR THIS FAULT WHICH ARE: NUMBER: 18-038-15 REV. B AND NUMBER: 25-001-15 REV A. THE FIRST ONE COVERS A PCM FLASH FOR THE 2015 RAM AND 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. IN THE NOTES IT SAYS THAT THIS IS FOR ALL 3 LITER 8 SPEED TRANSMISSIONS. WHICH SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE A 2014 RAM ECODIESEL. THE SECOND ONE IF FOR 2014-15 RAM 2500,3500+ WITH 6.7L DIESEL ENGINES. THE ISSUE I HAVE WITH THAT IS MY VEHICLE IS HAVING THAT EXACT ISSUE AND NEEDS THE SAME SERVICES BUT IT HAS A 3 LITER ENGINE.

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY THERE WAS A LOUD THUMP FROM THE ENGINE. ENGINE LOST POWER AND SHUT DOWN. INFO SCREEN DISPLAYED 'CHECK TRAILER BRAKE,' 'ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL,' AND 'TOWING MODE''.' WAS NOT TOWING ANYTHING AT THE TIME. ABLE TO PULL TO SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY. ENGINE WILL NOT START NOW. VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. AWAITING INFORMATION FROM DEALER ON REPAIR.

THE PARKING BRAKE ON MY 2014 DODGE RAM 1500 HAS FAILED. IT DECOMPRESSES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE TRUCK JOLTS FORWARD AS A RESULT IN ORDER FOR IT TO STOP FULLY AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK.

2014 DODGE RAM. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DIESEL WATER PUMP SAFETY RECALL. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE RECALL REPAIR REQUIRED 2 APPOINTMENTS. THIS CONSUMER FELT THIS WAS DANGEROUS IF THE VEHICLE REQUIRED THE WATER PUMP TO BE REPLACED. *JS

I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR TWO WEEKS PARKING IT ON A FLAT STREET. I PULLED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR THE FIRST TIME (WHICH HAS A SLIGHT SLOPE DOWN TOWARD THE SIDEWALK/CITY STREET BEHIND). SET THE ROTARY DIAL TO PARK AND EXITED. I CAME BACK 8 HOURS LATER AND THE VEHICLE HAD ROLLED ABOUT 12 FEET DOWN ACROSS THE SIDEWALK TO THE EDGE OF THE CITY STREET. I PULLED THE VEHICLE BACK UP THE DRIVEWAY AND THIS TIME SET THE PARKING BRAKE BEFORE EXITING. I STOOD FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND OBSERVED A CREAKING SOUND AS THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO SLOWLY ROLL AGAIN. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR IT HAD AGAIN ROLLED 1-2 FEET DOWN THE DRIVEWAY EVEN WITH THE PARKING BREAK ENGAGED. I PUT SPLIT FIREWOOD BEHIND THE BACK WHEELS TO PREVENT IT FROM ROLLING FURTHER.

"TAKARA RECALL" THE HEAT QUIT WORKING IN MY 2014 DODGE RAM A YEAR AGO. WENT TO SEE ABOUT GETTING IT FIXED AND THE QUOTE WAS APPROXIMATELY 900.00. THE TRUCK WAS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. THAT A IS THE ONLY COMPLAINT I HAVE. THIS CHEMICAL HAS BEEN AWESOME OTHERWISE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE POWER STEERING SEIZED; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CASEBERE MOTOR SALES, CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP, RAM TRUCKS (5768 OH-15, BRYAN, OH 43506, (419) 636-4594) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS WAITING ON THE RESULTS OF THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND TO LET THEM KNOW. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT HEARD A TAPPING SOUND WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS EXAMINED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE MANIFOLD BOLTS BECAME DAMAGED AND SHEARED OFF DUE TO THE WEIGHT OF THE ENGINE MANIFOLD AND EXHAUST PIPES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER (JAMES HODGE DODGE, 5100 SE LOOP 286, PARIS, TX) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. *TT VIN IS INVALID.*JB

POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON STARTUP POWER STEERING INOPERATIVE. TURNED OFF WAITED ONE MINUTE RAN OK. AT MY NEXT STOP IT DID THE SAME AGAIN BUT TOOK SIX MINUTES BEFORE POWER STEERING WORKED. BOTH TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

MOST RECENT EPISODE OF TRUCK SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING WAS WHILE CROSSING RAILROAD TRACKS IN RURAL AREA PULLED UP TO LOOK BOTH WAYS TO CROSS THEN STARTED OVER TRACKS TRUCK SHUT OFF IN MIDDLE OF TRACK NEEDLESS TO SAY A TRAIN WAS COMING AROUND CORNER, WHEN TRAIN WAS 200 YRD AWAY LUCK FORCED IT INTO NEUTRAL. NEEDLESS TO SAY HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP MULTIPLE TIME IN 2015 AND RAM STATED IT WASN'T THROWING CODE FOR IT TO SHUT OFF. THEY LET THE DEATH TRAP BACK ON ROAD. THIS TRUCK HAS MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHILE DRIVING AND LOSS OF POWER. AFTER BRINGING VEHICLE TO MECHANIC FOUND OUT MISFIRE CYLINDER #3. FAILED CAMSHAFT AND LIFTERS AT 143,000 MILES. TOLD IS WAS A VERY COMMON ISSUE AT NO SPECIFIC MILEAGE. APPROXIMATELY $4,000 TO REPAIR

MY RAM 1500 BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION IN THE WINTER OF 2017 AND FINALLY STARTED TO WHERE IT WOULDN'T RAISE BACK UP WHEN IT WAS COLD. I HAD THE ENTIRE COMPRESSOR REPLACED JANUARY OR FEBRUARY OF 2018. NOW IN NOVEMBER OF 2018 I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AGAIN. THE COMPRESSOR IS MAKING A WEIRD NOISE AS WELL AS THE DRIVER SIDE SUSPENSION SOUNDS LIKE IT'S RUBBING OR SOMETHING NOT GOOD. IT ONLY DOES THIS ONCE THE TEMPERATURE GETS IN THE 30S OR LOWER. ONCE IT GOES DOWN AND WON'T RAISE BACK UP THERE'S ONLY ABOUT A HALF INCH BETWEEN THE TIRE AND WHEEL WELL. NOT A CHEAP FIX AND DEFINITELY NOT WORTH KEEPING THE TRUCK IF THIS IS GONNA HAPPEN EVERY WINTER. WAS REPLACED AT MCHUGH DODGE JEEP IN ZANESVILLE, OHIO.

UNABLE TO FILL GAS TANK WHEN PUMPING GAS PAID THE DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM TO HAVE THEM SAY THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER TILL DEC AND THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE . IT IS A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE WHEN TRYING TO GET GAS FOR THE VEHICLE CAUSE IT TAKES SO LONG TO FILL TANK AND NEED TO PUMP IT SO SLOW OR IT KICKS THE PUMP OFF.

I WAS DRIVING AND THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON FOR 50 MILES UNTIL EMPTY, IT WASN'T EMPTY I JUST FUELED UP THE DAY BEFORE, THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY GAS GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY....THEN IT READ FUEL SENSOR SO I TOPPED IT OFF, IT TOOK 8 GALLONS...THE FUEL SENSOR LIGHT WENT OFF BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON......NOW THE GAUGES DON'T WORK AT ALL.....

CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT TURN ON WHEN DEPRESSED AND WHEN IT DOES THE CANCEL SWITCH DOES NOT DISENGAGE. TOLD THE SCCM AND SPEED CONTROL SWITCH IS RUSTING AND THERE IS S HIGH VOLTAGE RESISTANCE ISSUE BETWEEN THE TWO CONNECTIONS. ALSO THAT THIS COULD DEPLOY THE AIR BAG WITHOUT A COLLISION

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON A HILL OR INCLINE. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY FORCE TO ENGAGE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WITHOUT KNOWING IF THE VEHICLE WOULD ROLL AWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILURE WHEN COLD. ONCE VEHICLE WARMS UP IT WILL WORK. AFRAID THE STEERING WILL FAIL WHILE DRIVING. KNOWN PROBLEM BY DODGE AND CHRYSLER. 2015 RAMS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR SAME ISSUE I UNDERSTAND. CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY 2014 IS NOT INCLUDED. THANKS FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE WITH THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

ON THE PUSH BUTTON START WHENEVER YOU CLOSE A DOOR AN ALARM GOES OFF STATING CAN'T FIND KEY FOB. JUST PUT A NEW BATTERY IN KEY FOB AND IT STILL DOES IT. WHEN THAT HAPPENS WILL NOT START AND WHEN RUNNING THE ALARM STILL GOES OFF IF A DOOR IS CLOSED, SO YOU HAVE TO TURN OFF ENGINE AND USE MANUAL OVER RIDE TO START AGAIN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MCKEVITT CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (2700 SHATTUCK AVE #100, BERKELEY, CA 94705, 510-848-2206) WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAG HAD FAILED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,611. THE VIN NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND AN ABNORMAL ODOR WAS DETECTED. THE VEHICLE STALLED, BUT WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, OPENED THE HOOD, AND SAW FLAMES COMING FROM THE BACK OF THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000.

2014 DODGE RAM 1500 BIG HORN CREW CAB WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END COLLISION, AND NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF. THE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET (25-30 MPH), IT BROAD SIDED ANOTHER VEHICLE, NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN THE RAM WHEN THEY SHOULD HAVE. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN.

ENGINE TROUBLE: TOP END DAMAGE TO LIFTERS/CAMSHAFT. I REPLACED THE ENTIRE ENGINE

MY DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT WILL COLLECT SIGNIFICANT WATER INSIDE HE ASSEMBLY. IT WILL FOG OVER SO BAD THAT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE HEADLIGHT IS SERIOUSLY DIMINISHED. THIS CAUSES POOR NIGHT VISION. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARDS. OTHER ONCOMING DRIVERS WILL FLASH ME THINKING I HAVE MY HIGH RAMS ON. VISIBILITY ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IS SEVERELY IMPEDED. I HAVE REMOVED THE ASSEMBLY AND POURED OUT 1/2 CUP OF WATER FROM THE VENT OPENING.

LONG CRANK TIMES BEFORE STARTING STARVED OF FUEL LIKE IT IS OUT AM TOLD IT WILL COST AROUND $1000 TO FIX IT TIMP .A RELAY FOR THE FUEL PUMP.ALSO HAVE ISSUE WITH CRUISE ALREADY REPLACED IT ONLY 60000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE.

IN 3 YEARS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE INDICATOR HAVE CAME ON AT LEAST 14 TIMES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE TRUCK GOES INTO LIMP MODE AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE. EACH TIME THE DEALERSHIPS WHO REPRESENT RAM PRODUCTS HAVE PERFORMED DIFFERENT WORK AND SAID IT WAS FIXED. THEY HAVE FLASHED THE SOFTWARE, CHANGED TURBO PRESSURE SWITCH, PERFORMED MANUAL REGEN ON EXHAUST SYSTEM, CHANGED AIR FILTER, CHANGED THE TURBO TWICE, CHANGED THE FUEL FILTERS, TIGHTENED HOSES AND NOTHING STOPS THE PROBLEM FROM RETURNING. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND IS HAPPENING ON THOUSANDS OF RAM 1500 ECODIESEL PICKUPS. UNTIL NOW IT WAS JUST AN INCONVIENANCE BUT THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS TURNING ONTO A HIGHWAY WHEN IT WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND ALMOST GOT RAN OVER BY A LOGGING TRUCK. HAD THE LOG TRUCK BEEN LOADED WITH LOGS I PROBABLY WOULD BE DEAD BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY HE COULD HAVE AVOIDED A COLLISION IF HE WERE LOADED. I TOOK THE TRUCK STRAIGHT TO A RAM DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE HAD IT FOR OVER A MONTH TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL FOR CHRYSLER TO SELL $50,000.00 TRUCKS THAT CAN'T BE FIXED AND ARE GOING TO GET PEOPLE KILLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE TAILGATE DOOR WOULD ERRONEOUSLY OPEN. THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR AFTER THE DOORS HAD BEEN UNLOCKED USING THE KEY FOB. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (BEAVER COUNTY DODGE, 2761 CONSTITUTION BLVD, BEAVER FALLS, PA) WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL BEARING FRACTURED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BOERNE DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (30300 I-10, BOERNE, TX 78006, (830) 443-9153 AND (830) 443-9432) WHO REPLACED THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL BEARING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 159,389.

CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE ENGINE FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. IT THREW A ROD THROUGH THE ENGINE BLOCK RESULTING INSTANT LOSS OF POWER. HOT OIL BEING BLOWN OUT OF THE HOLE AND ALL OVER THE ENGINE AND ONTO THE TURBO AND EXHAUST, RESULTED IN A UNDER-HOOD FIRE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT, BUT IT SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NEWARK CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (244 E CLEVELAND AVE, NEWARK, DE 19711, (800)-653-0535) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

I HAVE 2 ISSUES TO REPORT ON THIS VEHICLE 1) THE TRUCK HAS LEFT US STRANDED TWICE AND REQUIRED A RIDE ON A ROLL BACK (WHO KNEW A LITTLE 1/2 TON PICKUP IS TOO BIG FOR MOST TOW TRUCKS). IN BOTH CASES WE HAD STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON A SLIGHT INCLINE OR DECLINE. THEN WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED WE MADE A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN INTO A DECLINE OR INCLINE AND STALLED OUT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I THOUGHT IT WAS A CLOGGED FUEL FILTER, BUT DIDN'T THINK TO TRY PRIMING THE FUEL SYSTEM AND RESTARTING BEFORE REPLACING THE FILTER. THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 1000 MILES LATER I POURED 5 GALLONS OF DIESEL IN, PRIMED THE FUEL SYSTEM AND IT RESTARTED. I THEN FILLED THE TANK AND REALIZED THAT THERE WAS ABOUT 5 GALLONS LEFT WHEN IT STALLED. THIS CAUSED ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE FUEL WAS SLOSHING AROUND THE PUMP IN SCENARIOS AS DESCRIBED. WE LATER REALIZED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT DROP BELOW A 1/4 TANK AND NO LOW FUEL LIGHTS APPEAR. THE TRUCK WAS LATER DIAGNOSED AS HAVING A FAULTING FUEL SENDING UNIT. 2) THE SECOND ISSUE IS AT 51K MILES WE HAD A MAJOR DEF EMISSION SYSTEM FAILURE. THE FIRST EVENT PROVIDED 500 MILES OF WARNING BEFORE THE TRUCK WOULD NOT RESTART. IT COST $2855 TO REPLACE A FAULT DEF TANK/SENSOR. THE SECOND TIME ONLY 1000 MILES LATER WE ONLY HAD 200 MILES WARNING AND COST $716 TO REPLACE A NOX SENSOR AND MODULE. IN BOTH CASES WE DROVE THE TRK TO A DEALER, BUT BOTH DEALERSHIPS REFUSED TO COVER IT UNDER THE 96MONTH/80,000 MILE "MAJOR EMISSION COMP WARRANTY." I'VE HAVE REPORTED BOTH ISSUE TO FCA VIA THEIR WEBSITE. NHTAS/ODI HAS MY PERMISSION TO RELEASE MY NAME AND CONTACT INFORMATION TO FCA TO DISCUSS SPECIFICS OF THIS ISSUE.

VEHICLE HAS HAD AND KEEPS HAVING THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT COME ON TO INCLUDE SERVICE AIR BAG SYSTEM LIGHT. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 REPETITIVE TIMES AND TO COME THIS WEEK A 5TH TIME. ON THE 4TH TIME THEY INSTALLED A NEW MODULE AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS/ WHICH THEY STATED WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SO HAD TO PAY $1500 IN REPAIRS. THEY ADVISED TO INSTALL A NEW BATTERY THE 3RD TIME AND DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE. THESE LIGHTS COME ON AT RANDOM TIMES, EITHER DRIVING OR STATIONARY.

2014 DODGE RAM 1500. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO NHTSA SAFETY RECALL 18V-332. *LD *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT CHANGE GEARS AND DID NOT SHIFT IN THE UPWARD POSITION. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWO OTHER TIMES IN ONE MONTH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO JANSSEN CHRYSLER/JEEP/DODGE/RAM (3101 S JEFFERS STREET, NORTH PLATTE, NE 69101) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 151,441. *TR

A DRIVER AND PASSENGER STOPPED NEAR AN EXIT GATE. THE GATE IS OLD AND TAKES TWO PEOPLE TO CLOSE AND LOCK. AFTER THE DRIVER STOPPED, THE VEHICLE WAS PLACE IN "PARK" BUT LEFT RUNNING, AND THE DRVIER GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO ASSIST IN CLOSING THE GATE. AFTER CLOSING THE GATE, THEY TURNED AROUND AND SAW THE VEHICLE MOVING, IT ROLLED DOWN AN APPROXIMATELY 10 FOOT EMBANKMENT AND ROLLED ABOUT 50 FEET HITTING A PIPE RAIL FENCE WENT OVER THE FENCE AND LANDED 10 FEET DOWN PAST THE PIPE RAIL AND STOPPED ON TOP OF LARGE RIP-RAP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE. THIS THE SECOND TIME THIS VEHICLE HAS ROLLED WHILE IN 'PARK' WITHIN THE PAST ELEVEN DAYS.

THE TRUCK WAS RUNNING AND SITTING STILL I WAS IN A LINE OF CARS. I PUT THE TRUCK IN DRIVE FROM PARK AND IT STARTED GOING IN REVERSE WHILE THE ENGINE IS REVVING I HAD TO USE BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO GET IT STOPPED AND IT CONTINUED TO TRY AND GO IN REVERSE. I FINALLY GOT THE TRUCK IN PARK AND LET THE ENGINE STOP REVVING. I THEN TRIED TO PUT IT IN DRIVE AND COULDN'T GET IT TO SHIFT. HAD TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN TO GET IT TO GO IN DRIVE. IT IS UNKNOWN WHAT CAUSED THIS AND I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE CAUSE COULD HAVE BEEN. IT WAS A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION SINCE THERE WAS A CAR IN FRONT AND A CAR BEHIND THE TRUCK WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT THANKFULLY. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THIS TRUCK AS FAR AS LIGHTS COMING ON AND OFF WHEN IT IS SETTING IN THE DRIVEWAY NO KEYS IN IT AND NO ONE TOUCHING IT. IT WILL HONK AND THE DOORS WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK REALLY FAST AGAIN WITH NO ONE NEAR IT AND THE KEYS HANGING UP. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN TO MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS AND NO ONE CAN FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. IT HAS HAD ALL 12 RECALLS FIXED.

MY DEF GAUGE IS NOT WORKING. THE DEF TANK IS FULL BUT THE GAUGE SAYS MY TRUCK WILL NOT RESTART IN 100 MILES. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND IT WILL COST OVER $3500 TO FIX THIS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME MY DEF SYSTEM HAS NOT WORKED ON THIS TRUCK AND I HAVE HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED.

ENGINE MAKING TICKING NOISE AT AROUND 22000 MILES ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. ASKED THE DEALERSHIP WHAT THE NOISE COULD BE IN DAY REPLY BACK SAYING THAT IT'S JUST THE HEMI ENGINE NOISE AND IT'S NORMAL. I'VE CAME BACK A FEW TIMES AND MENTION THE NOISE AGAIN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THAT IT WAS GETTING LOUDER AND LONGER LASTING AT COLD STARTS THEY INFORMED ME IT WAS STILL NORMAL HEMI NOISES. I'VE RESEARCHED AND LOOKED INTO IT AND FOUND IT TO BE AN EXHAUST ISSUE ON THE MANIFOLD DUE TO THE STUDS BREAKING AND SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS A COMMON DEFECT AND THEY INFORMED ME IT WOULD BE OVER $1,000 REPAIR AND WAS NOT COVERED DO TO MY TRUCK COMING FROM CANADA AND ALL MY WARRANTY WAS VOIDED I'VE COMPLAINED SEVERAL SEVERAL TIMES TO SEE WHAT COULD BE DONE UNDER THE FEDERAL MANDATED WARRANTY AND THEY SAID NOTHING AND THE TRUCK CURRENTLY HAS 47,000 MILES AND THE NOISE IS GETTING WORSE BY THE DAY. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2010 2011 WITH THE HEMI ENGINES AND MANUFACTURER WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT REPAIRING OR CORRECTING THE ISSUES! A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED ON THESE DEFECTIVE PARTS! I HAVE CALLED THE WARRANTY DEPARTMENT, CHRYSLER THEMSELVES RECALL DEPARTMENT AND NO ONE WILL DO ANYTHING TO HELP AND PRETTY MUCH TELL ME I'M OUT OF LUCK!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WAS BEING CLOSED, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE AND REAR SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT AIR BAG ALSO DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED BACK INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELTS FAILED TO RETRACT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SCOGGIN DICKEY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP (2483 TX-114, LEVELLAND, TX 79336, (806) 224-0266), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V460000 (SEAT BELTS, AIR BAGS) AND 17V302000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES, BUT DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER AN UNKNOWN NHTSA CAMPAIGN REGARDING THE CAM LOCK, BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR WAS COMPLETED BY ZEIGLER CHRYSLER, JEEP, RAM, DODGE (3939 STADIUM DR., KALAMAZOO, MI 49008, (269) 375-4500). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,614.

POWER STEERING FAILURE - IN MOTION - ON A CITY STREET - WHILE TURNING. VEHICLE IS OUT OF INITIAL WARRANTY (STILL UNDER 100K MILE) - BUT A MAJOR COMPONENT SUCH AS POWER STEERING SHOULD NOT BE FAILING AT 83,828 ODOMETER MILES. THE ENTIRE GEAR RACK HAS TO BE REPLACED AND THE TOTAL BILL WAS $2735.85. CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS YET TO PROVIDE ANY DETAILS EXPLAINING MANUFACTURER LIFE EXPECTANCY OF THE PART. THIS VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND WELL CARED FOR - THUS THE SUBSEQUENT PHONE CALLS TO BUY MY VEHICLE FROM THE DODGE DEALERSHIP. YET, THERE IS NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT THIS PART SHOULD NOT BE FAILING AT THIS EARLY MILEAGE OR THAT THEY WILL HELP ME. THERE WAS A WIRING HARNESS ISSUE WITH THIS SAME VEHICLE THAT WAS RESOLVED UNDER WARRANTY AT APPROX 30K MILES. MY VEHICLE IS PAID FOR.

MAJOR FUEL SYSTEM LEAK DUE TO FUEL LINE FAILURE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME SUCH A FAILURE HAS OCCURRED AND IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD AS THE LEAK RESULTED IN FUEL RUNNING DOWN BACK OF ENGINE NEAR TURBO AND CATALYST.

IN MAY 2018 FUEL SENSOR FAIL I HAD TO COME OUT OF MY POCKET TO REPLACE. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK LANDMARK DODGE IN MORROW GA. I ONLY HAD IT FOR A YEAR, ALONG WITH THE FAKE WARRANTY THAT TURN OUT TO BE NO GOOD. I FELT LIKE THEY STOLE MONEY FROM ME THEY DID NOT WORK FOR. NOW TODAY I HAD TO COME OUT OF MY POCKET AGAIN TO PAY FOR A BAD TIPM WITH A BAD FUEL PUMP RELAY. I THOUGHT THAT IF I GET THE TRUCK FROM THE DEALER, IT WOULD BE A FEW YEARS BEFORE START HAVING PROBLEM WITH IT. I EMAIL DODGE SUPPORT ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT RECEIVE A EMAIL FROM OTHER THAN THEY RECEIVE MY COMPLAINT. VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE.

MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON ALL THE TIME IT HAS BEEN SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP TWICE. I WAS TOLD WHEN I BOUGHT THE TRUCK THE LIGHT WAS FIXED. BUT STILL COMING ON.

TAKATA RECALL - THE AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING, WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR MOVING. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE A $120 DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO CHECK IT OUT. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE. I FEEL THAT IT SHOULD BE CHECKED AT NO CHARGE TO ME AS IT REPRESENTS A TRUE SAFETY HAZARD IF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY, ESPECIALLY WHEN NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE CURRENT MILEAGE ON MY 2014 DODGE RAM IS 86000. I CANNOT FIND A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS AGO.

I HAD MY TRUCK AT THE DEALER FOR A RECALL, I NOTICED MY SEATBELT WASN'T LOCKING WHEN I PULLED ON THE SHOULDER STRAP. I ASKED THEM TO LOOK INTO THIS WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS THERE. THEY DID, SAID THE SEATBELT WAS DEFECTIVE, BUT CHRYSLER WAS NOT GOING TO COVER THIS. AFTER FURTHER REVIEW NONE OF MY SEATBELT SHOULDER STRAPS LOCK WHEN YOU PULL ON THEM FAST. I HAVE A CREW CAB TRUCK SO THAT IS 5 SEATBELTS WITH SHOULDER STRAPS. MY DEALERSHIP WAS ON THE PHONE WITH CHRYSLER FOR OVER AN HOUR TRYING TO GET THEM TO COVER THIS SAFETY DEFECT, THEY JUST KEPT SAYING NO, TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY. AFTER READING ALL THESE COMPLAINTS, WILL MY AIRBAGS DEPLOY IF I'M IN AN ACCIDENT? I DON'T KNOW AND HOPE I DON'T HAVE TO FIND OUT THE HARD WAY. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME DRIVING OR STANDING STILL. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE SEATBELTS ARE DEFECTIVE. THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED ASAP, NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A SAFETY ISSUE.

THE ASSIST HANDLE HAS A LEAK WHEN RAINS HARD. REMOVED TO SEE WHERE IT IS LEAKING AND THERE IS AN AIRBAG THERE. IT ALSO LEAKS ALL OVER THE FLOOR THAT CAN EVENTUALLY LEAD TO STRUCTURAL ISSUES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE FUEL GAUGE BECAME INOPERABLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NYE DODGE JEEP RAM (1553 UPPER LENOX AVE, ONEIDA, NY 13421, (315) 277-8955) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

I SCHEDULED AN APPNT. AT 8:30 A.M. TO THE DEALERSHIP ON NORTHLAKE BLVD. IN LAKE PARK, FL AND THEY NEVER DID ANY RECALL REPAIRS TO MY VEHICLE NOR CALLED AND SAID THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO COMPLETE REPAIRS TO MY VEHICLE WHEN I PICKED IT UP APPROX. 3:35 P.M. I WAS GIVEN THE RUNAROUND AFTER MAKING REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO GET THE STATUS OF MY VEHICLE VIA TELEPHONE AT 1:30 P.M. AND AGAIN AT 3:00 P.M. I WAS TRANSFERRED TO VOICE MAILS OF PEOPLE WHO HAD ALREADY LEFT FOR THE DAY. FINALLY, WHEN I ARRIVED FOR MY VEHICLE AND SPOKE WITH ALBERTO, HE SAID THEY CLOSE AT 4 AND HE'S THE PERSON I SPOKE TO AROUND 1:30 WHO SAID MY VEHICLE WOULD BE READY AROUND 3:00. NO ONE MADE ANY ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT ME ABOUT MY TRUCK SINCE 8:30, SATURDAY MORNING WHICH IS TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE.

CANNOT PUT IT TO WORK IT WILL NOT HAUL A TRAILER, CAN'T DRIVE BECAUSE IT WILL TURN OFF IN BUMPY ROADS, BEEN MARKING ' SHIFT TO DESIRE GEAR TO DRIVE' WE HAVE BEEN FIGHTING WITH PEOPLE FROM THE AGENCY ( DON DAVIS ) AND THEY SAY THEY CANNOT FIND PROBLEMS. CHANGED SHIFT CRAGTER TWICE, NO LUCK! I TOOK IT WITH THE ENGINGE LIKE TURNED ON AND CAN'T SEEM TO FIND A 'CODE' THE TRUCK STARTS SHAKING UP BEFORE IT TURNS OFF COMPLETELY. IT'S A MATTER OF SAFETY FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY.

AIR BAG SERVICE LIGHT KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF

RAM COMES OUT OF CAR WASH AND TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ENGAGE INTO DRIVE IMMEDIATELY. HAVE TO STEP ON BRAKE MORE THAN ONCE TO ENGAGE. TOOK IT THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY CONCLUDED THAT THIS WAS NORMAL.

WHEN EXITING THE VEHICLE WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AFTER PUTTING IT INTO PARK, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY WENT INTO REVERSE. THE DOOR KNOCKED ME DOWN AS I WAS CAUGHT IN THE SHOULDER SEAT BELT AND DRAGGED ME APPROXIMATELY 15 FEET. AFTER BEING RELEASED, THE VEHICLE PROCEEDED TO CONTINUE IN REVERSE AND RAN INTO A STOREFRONT. I WAS THE ONLY ONE WITH MINOR INJURIES AS NO ONE ELSE WAS INVOLVED IN THE ACCIDENT. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS IN THE PAST WITH THE ELECTRONIC GEAR SHIFT, SPECIFICALLY WHEN MOVING IT FROM DRIVE TO PARK. SOMETIMES IT SEEMS TO GET STUCK IN REVERSE EVEN THOUGH THE INDICATOR LIGHT IS SHOWING PARK.

TAKATA RECALL VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AND THEN AFTER 2 MINUTES STARTED MOVING ELECTRIC SHIFTER SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR CAUSE SOMEONE TO BE RUN OVER IN A PARKING LOT OF A BUSINESS.

VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER STEERING MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING, COMPLETELY UNABLE TO STEER THE TRUCK. RED EPS LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. UNABLE TO RESET BY RESTARTING TRUCK, OR DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY. COST OVER $2500 TO HAVE ENTIRE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING RACK REPLACED. CONCERN HAPPENED WHILE SITTING STILL, AND WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

ON FEBRUARY I DROVE FROM MY HOME SEVERAL MILES TO A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT TAKING AN INTERSTATE ON THE WAY. I USED MY CRUISE CONTROL ON MY WAY THERE AND JUST PRESSED THE BRAKE TO DISENGAGE IT WHEN I EXITED THE INTERSTATE. I THEN CONTINUED TO THE DRIVE TO THE RESTAURANT WHERE I PULLED INTO A LINE TO THE DRIVE THROUGH WINDOW AS I MOVED THROUGH THE LINE I WOULD APPLY MY BRAKE TO STOP AND AS CARS PULLED FORWARD I JUST LET MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE TO SLOWLY MOVE FORWARD THEN PRESSED THE BRAKE AGAIN TO STOP. I DID THIS SEVERAL TIMES THEN SUDDENLY WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE MY TRUCK SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND RAN INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME BEFORE I COULD STOP IT. THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE AND I WERE NOT INJURED AND DROVE TO THE PARKING LOT TO EXCHANGE INSURANCE INFORMATION. SINCE THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT I RECENTLY CHECKED FOR RECALLS OM MY TRUCK AND FOUND ONE RELATED TO THE CRUISE CONTROL NHTSA # 18V-332 WHICH COULD BE RELATED TO MY ACCIDENT. I HAVE RECENTLY HAD THE RECALL SERVICE DONE JUNE 30, 2018 AT MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER.

TAKATA INFLATORS : MY FIANCE WAS IN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT WITH A HIT AND RUN AND HIS TRUCK IS TOTALED. IT WAS FRONT IMPACT AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT INFLATE OR GO OFF- HIS HEAD HIT THE WINDSHIELD AND HE HAD TO GO TO THE ER FOR HEAD INJURIES.

WHEN ACCELERATING AROUND SLOWER CAR MY ACCELERATOR STUCK AND CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE UNTIL I TURNED OFF ENGINE.

REAR LEFT TAILLIGHT TURN SIGNAL(BLINKER) WENT OUT. CHECKED WITH DEALERSHIP IN GLADSTONE OREGON AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE OVER 300 TAILLIGHTS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS MINE WITHIN THE SAME DISTRIBUTION AREA AS THE PORTLAND, OR AREA. THIS SHOULD LIKE A PROBLEM ONCE AGAIN AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE

ONE MORNING IN DECEMBER OF 2017, I STARTED MY PARKED TRUCK IN THE DRIVEWAY OF MY HOME AND THE ELECTRIC STEERING STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY AT 38,000 MILES. WHETHER YOU ARE GOING FORWARD OR IN REVERSE, THE STEERING IS VERY HARD TO TURN. YOU MUST SLOW DOWN TO 10 MPH OR LESS TO BE ABLE TO TURN STEERING WHEEL AND MAINTAIN YOUR LANE. OTHERWISE YOUR TURNS WILL BE TO WIDE AND CROSS OVER INTO OPPOSING LANE OF TRAFFIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, SMOKE AND FLAMES APPEARED FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE FLAMES WERE EXTINGUISHED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CAPITOL CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (3201 MISSOURI BLVD, JEFFERSON CITY, MO 65109, (573) 893-5000) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION SYSTEM FAILED, AND THE WIRING HARNESS AND INTAKE AND EXHAUST MANIFOLDS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

MY TRUCK KEEPS ROLLING FORWARD OR BACKWARDS WHEN PUT INTO PARK, ALSO MY CRUISE DONT SHUT OFF OR TURN ON HALF THE TIME.

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND OFF (ALONG WITH THE ACCOMPANYING "DING"). I THINK THERE IS A SHORT IN THE WIRING UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT. WHENEVER I GO OVER BIG BUMPS IT SEEMS TO CAUSE THE ISSUE MORE OFTEN.

DPF/DEF SYSTEMS CAUSING ENGINE FAILURE. LEVELING SENSOR INSIDE OF THE D.E.F TANK ISN'T REPONDING AND CAUSING TRUCK TO RUN BAD AND CAUSING TRUCK TO GO INTO LIMP MODE. AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE DPF SYSTEM

YESTERDAY WHILE ROUNDING CORNER ON HIGHWAY VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY DID NOT WANT TO TURN FELT LIKE IT WAS BINDING UP. HAD TO USE BOTH HANDS PULLING HARD ON WHEEL TO MAKE CORNER AND THEN THE WHEEL DID NOT CENTER ON ITS OWN. I WENT OUT OF MY LANE OF TRAFFIC FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS IN THE OTHER LANE. STEERING RETURNED TO NORMAL FOR.A FEW MINUTES THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON EXIT RAMP. IT HAS HAPPENED ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES. THERE IS NO WARNING BEFORE IT HAPPENS AND ELECTRIC ASSIST WARNING LIGHT HAS NEVER ACTIVATED WHEN THIS HAS OCCURRED. I AM CURRENTLY AT LOCAL REPAIR SHOP HAVING THE TRUCK LOOKED AT. IN THE PAST I OWNED A TOYOTA PICKUP WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND THIS IS 20 TIMES MORE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WHEN LOSING THE ELECTRIC ASSIST. THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS WELL AS ON CITY STREETS. IF CAN HAPPEN ON JUST GENTLE BENDS IN THE ROADWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR LOW SPEED TURNS. THE STEERING IS JUST AS DIFFICULT TO MOVE NO MATTER THE SPEED WHEN IT OCCURS. STEERING WHEEL FEELS LIKE IT'S STUCK BUT WILL MOVE WITH A LOT OF FORCE FROM BOTH HANDS. I ALMOST HIT THE CURB AT LOW SPEED ON THE WAY TO THE REPAIR SHOP THIS MORNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED, BUT WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VANCAMPEN MOTORS INC. (601 W 3RD ST, WILLIAMSPORT, PA 17701, (570) 326-0567), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

IN EARLY 2018 I STARTED TO NOTICE THAT THE STEERING ON MY TRUCK WOULD "GUM UP". AS YOU STARTED TO MAKE A TURN THE STEERING WOULD BE FINE BUT THEN AS YOU CONTINUED THROUGH THE TURN IT WOULD TAKE MORE EFFORT TO TURN THE WHEEL. IT NEVER COMPLETELY LOCKED UP BUT THEN GO BACK TO NORMAL. TO ME IT SEEMED THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS FAILING OR LOW ON FLUID. WHEN I CHECKED I FOUND THAT THERE IS NO PUMP BUT AN ELECTRONIC MOTOR ASSIST FOR THE STEERING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REGULAR SERVICE AND THEY CHECKED IT OUT BUT SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE MY COMPLAINT. I TRIED TO INVESTIGATE WHEN IT WOULD HAPPEN BUT THERE WAS NO COMMON THING. ON APRIL 14TH I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND NOTICED THAT EVEN WHILE TRACKING IN A STRAIGHT LINE THE TRUCK STEERING WOULD GUM UP . AS LONG AS I THINK ABOUT IT I DON'T WORRY BUT I AM AFRAID THAT IT WILL FAIL COMPLETELY. I TOOK IT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAD NO ONE TO LOOK AT IT. I TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER ON THE 17TH BUT AGAIN I COULD FEEL IT GOING BUT NOTHING WHILE I HAD THE MECHANIC IN THE TRUCK. SOMETIMES I CAN FEEL IT WHILE STATIONARY AND JUST TURNING THE WHEEL. I HAVE NOTICED THAT IT GOES AWAY ON RAINY DAYS. ALMOST LIKE THE STEERING IS GETTING LUBRICATED BUT ONCE THE WEATHER IS DRY FOR A FEW DAYS THE GUMMY FEELING COMES BACK. THE DEALER DID SAY THAT THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING UNIT DID NOT LOOK LIKE IT WAS LEAKING BUT WHEN I WAS UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK I SAW THAT THE RUBBER BOOTS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE UNIT APPEARED TO BE STAINED (SEE PIX)

FUEL SENSOR FAILURE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES AND GOES WHICH CAUSES THE FUEL GAUGE TO STOP WORKING. NOT UNDER WARRANTY BUT A KNOW PROBLEM. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED WHEN IT IS A OBVIOUS PROBLEM.

AIRBAG SYSTEM MESSAGE KEEPS COMING ON, MESSAGE KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF BUT NOW IS STAYING ON ALL THE TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE AT THE DEALER (COLUMBIANA DODGE CHRYSLER, 100 COMMERCE CIRCLE, COLUMBIANA, OH 44404), THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED OF AN UNKNOWN RECALL FOR HER VEHICLE. THE DEALER ALSO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED AN ELECTRONIC COMPUTER BOX SENSOR ASSEMBLY AND A FUEL PUMP RELAY CIRCUIT BOARD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN INFORMATION WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

VEHICLE HAD BEEN SERVICED FOR ALL AIRBAG RELATED RECALLS IN THE PAST. AT APPROXIMATELY 53,000 MILES, MY SRS LIGHT RANDOMLY COMES ON AND 'SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM" MESSAGE DISPLAYS ON DASH. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF IT WAS COVERED UNDER RECALL OR WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD NO AND DEALERSHIP WANTS $150 TO LOOK AT VEHICLE. INTERNET RESEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE ON RAM PICK-UPS. BECAUSE THE LIGHT COMES ON FOR A DAY OR SO AND GOES OUT FOR SEVERAL DAYS, I AM WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO STAY ON CONSTANTLY TO PREVENT MYSELF FROM HAVING TO PAY $150 MULTIPLE TIMES BECAUSE THERE IS NO ACTIVE FAULT WHEN I DROP IT OFF. BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD AIRBAG RELATED RECALL DUE TO WIRING, THESE VEHICLES SHOULD HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THEIR AIRBAG SYSTEM. THE FAULT THAT I AM GETTING FROM MY PERSONAL OBDII SCANNER IS "OPEN CIRCUIT ON FRONT DRIVERS SQUIB #2". LIGHT COMES ON WHEN RANDOMLY, EITHER AT FIRST START IF THE DAY, OR AFTER DRIVING FOR AWHILE. LIGHT AND WARNING GOES OFF IN THE SAME CONDITIONS (RANDOMLY). NEW AIRBAG COSTS $795 AND CLOCK-SPRING IS $295. THESE COSTS ARE FOR PARTS ONLY AND UNACCEPTABLE FOR A 4 YEAR OLD TRUCK WITH 53,000 MILES.
