Critical Deferred Risk
Critical deferred failure risk — 4 safety-critical or high-cost components are past their service interval. Without immediate attention, repair costs will compound significantly.
No odometer data on record. Mileage is estimated at ~120,000 mi based on average annual driving. Items marked EST. OVERDUE may already be due — verify service history with the seller. Items marked OVERDUE are confirmed past-due based on vehicle age alone.
EST. OVERDUECriticalTiming Chain Tensioner
Service interval: 10 yr · Vehicle age: 10 yr · Past due by age
Service Timing Chain Tensioner immediately — already past the 120,000 mi / 10 yr interval
Worn chain tensioners cause timing chain skip or snap — common on GM 5.3L/6.2L, Ford EcoBoost, VW/Audi EA888, BMW N47/N63. Listen for cold-start rattles.
EST. OVERDUECriticalWater Pump
Service interval: 8 yr · Vehicle age: 10 yr · Past due by age
Service Water Pump immediately — already past the 100,000 mi / 8 yr interval
Water pump failure causes rapid overheating. If the engine overheats even once, head gasket damage is likely — turning a $400 part into a $3,000+ repair.
EST. OVERDUEHighTransmission Fluid / Service
Service interval: 5 yr · Vehicle age: 10 yr · Past due by age
Service Transmission Fluid / Service immediately — already past the 60,000 mi / 5 yr interval
Degraded transmission fluid destroys clutch packs and solenoids. CVT transmissions are especially sensitive — neglected fluid can result in a $4,000–$8,000 replacement.
EST. OVERDUEHighCoolant Flush
Service interval: 5 yr · Vehicle age: 10 yr · Past due by age
Service Coolant Flush immediately — already past the 100,000 mi / 5 yr interval
Degraded coolant loses corrosion inhibitors and attacks aluminum engine components. Can cause head gasket failure and water pump corrosion.
EST. OVERDUEModerateSpark Plugs (iridium/platinum)
Service interval: 8 yr · Vehicle age: 10 yr · Past due by age
Service Spark Plugs (iridium/platinum) immediately — already past the 100,000 mi / 8 yr interval
Worn spark plugs cause misfires that can foul and crack catalytic converters. A $150 tune-up can prevent a $1,200 catalytic converter replacement.
EST. OVERDUEModerateFuel Injectors
Service interval: 10 yr · Vehicle age: 10 yr · Past due by age
Service Fuel Injectors immediately — already past the 120,000 mi / 10 yr interval
Dirty or failing injectors cause rough idle, reduced fuel economy, and increased emissions. Cleaning costs $100–$200; replacement $800–$1,600.
CASCADECriticalFailure Cascade
Cascade already triggered — downstream damage likely in progress
Have a specialist inspect all systems connected to the failed component before purchase
One failed component has created stress on connected systems. Repair costs compound quickly — a $500 fix can become $3,000+ if cascade damage is ignored.

Power steering is intermittently working. It happens at different speeds. It makes it very difficult to steer and power steering will engage after executing a turn which will jerk the vehicle and wheel.

Around 80k miles the ABS module went bad giving a C-2200-49 code and displaying the traction control light, abs light and red brake light illuminated. A new module is estimated at 6 months wait time, mine was ordered in September 2025 and just arrived in April 2026, my vehicle could not pass state inspection until the issue was fixed.

ODI #11728820STEERING

Was driving on the road while it was raining outside. As I turned a corner my power steering suddenly dropped out mid turn. Was able to fight to get of the road. It was accompanied with a service power steering system light on my dash. I shut the vehicle off and restarted it. It drove fine for a short bit and again loss power steering. The power steering light came on along with service electronic brake system, service trailer brake system, and my traction control light on the dash also came on. I managed to get to my destination without power steering. I have no recalls on my truck for this. I did have 2 codes when I was able to communicate with the module being U0155 and C2128. Most likely caused by water getting into a connector and shorting out.

ODI #11728621SERVICE BRAKES

ABS module has failed and there is no end in sight on the backorder, so many owners have the same issues so finding a part is almost impossible, there is a current lawsuit going on for the newer model rams because of similar issues so I guess they are focused on trying to fix those so there are no resources to get trucks like mine repaired. Nobody knows when or if ever we will have replacement parts. How can they have so many vehicles with the same issue and not recall or at least make the part available so we can fix? 2016 Ram 1500 Lone Star edition

Hello, my name is [XXX] , and I had a recall performed on my 2016 Ram Eco Truck 3.0L (FCA US Recall ID 66A) at Dewey Dodge Chrysler Jeep in [XXX] , following a recall notice dated June 28, 2023. On March 17, 2026, while driving on the interstate, I experienced a sudden and severe loss of engine power, which nearly resulted in an accident; the dashboard displayed a "Service Electronic Throttle Control" warning, restricting my speed to around 40 miles per hour with low RPMs. I returned to Dewey Ram that same day and was informed the next day that I needed to replace the crankshaft position sensor tone wheel, which was quite expensive. I had assumed this issue was resolved during the previous recall, but the service department clarified that the recall only involved a software update and did not cover the tone wheel replacement. However, the repair description indicated that FCA US would conduct a voluntary safety recall to update the powertrain control module software or, in some cases, replace the tone wheel. Further investigation led me to Safety Recall W68 / NHTSA 20V-475 regarding the loss of crankshaft position, which I believe pertains to my truck based on its year, model, and circumstances. I shared this information with the dealership, but they stated they could not assist me since my VIN did not show any current recalls. I expressed my concern that the previous recall may not have been completed to the necessary standards to address the safety issue, but they advised me to contact Chrysler. I would greatly appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter. Thank you. I can be reached at [XXX] or by phone at [XXX] .

Hello, I am wanting to file a complaint regarding my 2016 Ram 1500 Rebel. As of April 2025 my vehicle's Air Suspension system has been a Safety issue for me. I have noticed that the Service Air Suspension Immediatley, Service Air Suspension system messages have been displaying on my vehicle's dashboard. I took my vehicle into the Mac Haik Dodge in Temple, TX in April 2025 for a diagnosis and no repairs were completed. I then noticed once again in December 2025 that my vehicle was displaying the same dtc messages above. The vehicle once again was taken into the Mac Haik Dodge in Temple, TX for a diagnosis and it was recommended to have the Air Suspension Control module replaced to correct this issue. I paid to have this repair completed in January 2026. My vehicle was returned to me and I was advised that I would no longer have any further issues. As a result, in February 2026 3 weeks of having my vehicle back in my posession the same dtc messages were once again displaying on my vehicle's dashboard. My vehicle was brought to the Mac Haik Dodge in Temple, TX for another diagnosis and it was recommened to either have the Air Suspension compressor replaced or to completely remove the entire Air Suspension system and transition to a Coil / Springs conversion to prevent any further issues. My concerns are that due to not having my vehicle repaired correctly back in April 2025 and the ongoing issues I have experienced this is considered a Safety risk with operating a vehicle that has not been repaired correctly. I've driven my vehicle and have now experienced the Air Suspension drop completely in the rear of the vehicle causing a severe and bumpy type ride while driivng my vehicle to a place that the vehicle can be parked. I wanted to express my concenrs to NHTSA to see if this issue could be looked into further. I have noticed that several other Vehicle owners who's vehicles are equipped with the Air Suspension have experienced similiar issues with their vehicles.

My power steering went out on my vehicle in mid January 2016. My temperature guage was also not working properly. I took it to my local Ram dealership to get it looked at. They drew up an estimate and I approved some repairs. My extended warranty covered majority of it. After picking up my vehicle, I noticed my steering wheel still had some resistance to it. I felt it shouldn't have that much resistance knowing the amount of work that just got done. My temperature gauge was still not the greatest. It never got directly into the middle of being the right temperature, but being off a bit maybe isn't the worst thing. I notice my temeperature and steering wheel icons light up when I start my vehicle, but researched and found that that is normal and it goes away after my vehicle is started. I called to make another appointment to be seen, but later cancelled it after learning the information about the icons and my steering wheel resistence loosened up and feels "normal" again. I just wanted to document my experience, as I learned there may be others with similar power steering issues and that there may be a class action lawsuit in the works.

Upon calling the dealer they informed the truck had a open recall, suggested I contact Mopar for reimbursement per there guidance. They directed me to the website.

Driving down any road, it will dump the air in the rear completely, sometimes it will dump the air on just the drivers side front and rear. I get dash warnings saying the air suspension is overheating and needs to cool. The local Dodge Dealer where I bought it knows about the problem and only advised me to replace it with aftermarket suspension. I bought an extended warranty and I personally believe they didn’t want to warranty the suspension. It will cost me $4-5k to replace with an air delete kit and could be $5-10k for OEM parts depending on what all gets replaced. Now my warranty is expired and it’s all on me.

This situation effectively makes my truck unsafe and unrepairable. I am being forced into an impossible position: either continue driving without a functioning ABS (a major safety risk), park the truck indefinitely, or purchase another vehicle. I believe Stellantis should be required to provide a remedy by manufacturing replacement ABS modules or providing a safe alternative repair. Leaving hundreds of vehicles without access to a functioning ABS system is unacceptable from both a safety and consumer-protection standpoint.

The ABS module has failed on my 2016 RAM 1500, which has disabled the ABS and the traction control system. This is a serious safety hazard because the vehicle now has no anti-lock braking or stability control, creating dangerous conditions in wet or emergency braking situations. •Component/System Failed: The ABS control module has malfunctioned. The part is still installed on my truck because I need it in place to drive the vehicle to work, but it can be made available for inspection if required. •Safety Risk: The failure disables both ABS and traction control, greatly increasing the risk of loss of control and extended stopping distances in wet, slippery, or emergency conditions. This creates a direct safety risk to both myself and others on the road. •Dealer Confirmation: I contacted 4 Ram dealer who confirmed that no replacement parts have taken as long as 6 months to obtain and that they do not know when or if or when additional parts will become available. The fault has been verified with an ABS diagnostic fault code and I have confirmed this is a common failure as almost 500 parts are awaiting delivery in the US. The vehicle has not been inspected by police or insurance representatives, but the failure is documented. •Warning Lights/Symptoms: The ABS warning lamp, traction control light, and brake system light are all illuminated on the dashboard. These first appeared at the time of the failure and remain constantly lit. The OEM (Stellantis/FCA) is not offering a new replacement ABS module. Multiple rebuild companies have told me they cannot repair this unit because the required electronic parts are unavailable. This situation leaves owners without a safe or affordable path to restore critical safety systems. Despite being a known issue, there is no recall or service campaign from the manufacturer.

I own a 2016 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel (VIN: [XXX] ). This vehicle is covered under the EcoDiesel Approved Emissions Modification (AEM) Settlement extended warranty. Since the update in January 2025, the truck has suffered repeated EGR system failures and related warranty failures. The EcoDiesel lawsuit itself was based on EGR cooler defects that could leak coolant and cause fires. My truck has experienced the same failure pattern, with coolant leaks, overheating, and unsafe breakdowns. On [XXX], the vehicle shut off in the middle of the road while I was driving, creating a serious hazard. The cause was traced to a covered emissions component. This was not an isolated incident. The vehicle has been in dealerships for over 60 cumulative days since January 2025, mostly for repeated EGR codes and fuel system issues, but the root problem has never been properly repaired. On [XXX], the low-pressure fuel pump failed after it had already been replaced. The premature failure left me stranded and required a $500 tow. This failure also presented a risk of sudden power loss in traffic. Despite repeated visits to authorized dealers, repairs are incomplete or improperly billed, including installation of non-OEM parts that failed again. The repeated stalling, coolant leaks, overheating, and sudden no-start conditions show that this truck remains unsafe to operate on public roads. I am reporting this as a safety defect because the emissions system failures and improper repairs have caused the vehicle to shut off while driving and continue to present a risk of fire, engine damage, and sudden loss of power.

The message “service antilock brake system” is displayed on the message center as well as “service electronic braking system” The part is not available for inspection at this time as it is still on the vehicle and cannot be removed without causing complete failure of the braking system. The vehicle is still being driven as there is no other option at this time. Failure of the system puts anyone operating the vehicle in danger due to the ABS & Stability systems being inoperable. Failure confirmed by independent auto repair technician. ABS system reset and re-initialize without resolution of the issue. The part has not been inspected by the dealership who did not wish to inspect it as it was known issue. No accidents involved with my vehicle due to this as yet. The system failed in November 2023. I contacting the Ram dealer to replace the part and I was informed there were no modules available because it was on “Engineering Hold”. This was explained that the part had to be redesigned due to a continuous failure/problem. I was told it would be available in March 2024. Re-contacted the dealership in March 2024 and was advised it would not be until after June or July. The Part became available sometime after August 2024. However, due to the backlog of vehicles the dealership had to repair, none were available clear into 2025.

RAM has an extended warranty out regarding the front strap for the fuel tank that is known to fail. When the strap failed, the fuel tank dropped causing a gouge in the drive shaft. In addition to the compromised drive shaft, the metal bracket was touching the ground. Should I have been driving during when this failed, the metal could have caused sparks causing the fuel tank to ignite. This problem should be moved from an extended warranty to a recall.

About 2 months ago, the power steering assist stopped working and has been intermittent since. As I drove it to the dealership, I splashed into a puddle and the power steering returned. The dealership ran a check and found the code C2128 but said they could not replicate the problem. They found the PSA module cover was rusty. They wanted to charge $3,500 to replace the module as well as $2,300 to repair both front struts. I took my truck back (power steering inoperable) and researched parts, repair shops and recalls. There is a recall for PSA failure of the year of my vehicle though my truck is not included. I seem to have all the same issues as reported in the NHTSA recall. The power steering is presently still intermittent (wet weather seems to effect it) and feels generally unsafe as it fails and returns without warning. No other symptoms or indications before, during or after failure(s).

Complaint: 2016 Ram 1500 - Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) Module Failure Vehicle Information: Make: Ram Model: 1500 Year: 2016 Current Odometer Reading: Approximately 48,000 miles Incident Description: My 2016 Ram 1500 truck has experienced a failure of the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) module. This failure has resulted in the deactivation of several critical safety systems, including: Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) Traction Control System Cruise Control Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Consequences of Failure: The complete shutdown of these safety systems, particularly the ABS, poses a significant and immediate safety risk. Without a functional ABS, the vehicle's braking performance is severely compromised, increasing the likelihood of wheel lock-up during sudden braking and significantly elevating the risk of an accident or complete brake failure, especially under adverse road conditions. Dealer Response & Lack of Resolution: I contacted an authorized Ram dealership to address this critical issue. Unfortunately, the dealership informed me that they currently have no replacement parts for the ABS module and have received no guidance or support from Chrysler (Stellantis) regarding a resolution. This lack of parts and technical support leaves me with a vehicle that is, in my opinion, unsafe to operate and susceptible to an accident due to a known, unaddressed safety defect. Request for Action: I am submitting this complaint to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to report this serious safety defect. I urge the NHTSA to investigate this widespread issue and compel Ram/Chrysler to provide an immediate remedy for this ABS module failure, including the availability of necessary replacement parts and a clear repair protocol. The current situation leaves me with a vehicle that has compromised safety features, putting lives at risk.

Later that day, the check engine light turned itself off. I was driving on the freeway later that day and lost the power steering again travelling approximately 55mph. The vehicle became nearly impossible to steer and put myself and others on the road around me at risk due to the speed I was travelling and lack of control I had when the steering went out. Fortunately I was able to pull over and restart the vehicle and regain power steering to get my vehicle home. I have not taken the vehicle to a dealer yet.

The lights stay on all of the time, so I do not have any ABS Braking, Tractor Control or Cruise Control. Not having the ABS Braking or the Cruise Control make it very dangerous to stop or control the Truck with bad road conditions. The Dealership told me that the part that is needed is on an Enginering Hold and that they cannot order the part. The Truck was taken into the Dealership in October of 2024.

Was told this is a common problem and should be a recall due to loss of braking. I also had them check a clicking noise and was told that the head of the bolt on the exhaust broke and was told by the dealership that this is a very common problem and should be a recall because exhaust is leaking at the manifold allowing for the exhaust to enter the cab possibly leading to exhaust toxicity.

Shortly after purchasing the truck I discovered there was an open recall for the vehicle (14Z46182 Safety Recall Z46), I had the recall completed on April 10, 2024; The High Pressure Fuel Pump, Injector Fuel Tubes, and Fuel Filter were replaced by Port Lavaca Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep. A few months later I started having erratic check engine lights, hard starting etc. I had the codes translated at Auto Zone and it was determined to most likely be the High Pressure Fuel Pump failure. I dismissed that diagnosis as the high pressure fuel pump had recently been replaced. On September 6, 2024 my truck quit running and I had it towed to ROKS DIESEL to be evaluated for the cause. Roks Diesel checked it on September 16, 2024 and said the High Pressure Fuel Pump failed and metal particles were throughout the fuel system and that the complete fuel system must be replaced and the tank cleaned. The fuel was checked for contamination and none was found. I called Port Lavaca Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep to see what I should do; I was told to tow it in and they would perform a duplicate recall. I explained that it needed to be towed from Victoria, TX, so they suggested I save some money and have it towed to Victoria Dodge, Ram, Chrysler, Jeep, which I did. Victoria Dodge, Ram, Chrysler, Jeep evaluated the truck and confirmed what Roks Diesel informed me. They went on to say the fuel was contaminated and there for I would have to pay to remove, reinstall, and clean the fuel tank. I repeatedly asked how they determined the fuel was contaminated and was not given an adequate answer. I was unsuccessful in negotiating with them over charging me for the cleaning of the fuel tank, and agreed to pay because I needed transportation.

Purchased the vehicle used in 2020, and shortly thereafter, noticed the engine idling rough. Determined that the throttle body was loose on the (plastic ) intake manifold. Attempted to tighten the throttle body screws per manufacturer torque specs, but they were stripped. Investigating this, the design employs sheet metal screws into untapped plastic manifold holes. I had to use high temp RTV to secure the throttle body on to the manifold. This worked for a couple of years, but the throttle body became loose again. Tried to get a replacement OEM manifold from the dealership, but after several months, was told that the part was unavailable. More importantly, the same poor design is incorporated in the replacement part. I had to re-apply the high temp RTV in order to secure the throttle body on to the manifold for the truck to function. I believe that this poor design poses a safety concern because the throttle body could detach from the intake manifold at critical driving times. This design problem is widespread with all Chrysler V-8 vehicles, in several model years.

On the 4th day I called customer support back and they told me to tow it to a local dodge dealership and confirmed which one to send it to that was close. I called to have it towed there and called customer service back to let them know and the women told me that they denied my claim on 11/8 and in addition she informed me that she also had me tow it to a non-authorized dealer.

The last few weeks I’ve noticed my truck hasn’t been right. With some online investigation I realized the misfire code I been getting is related to a cam and lifter issue. Based on the forms I’ve viewed. The ram 1500 with the 5.7 engine has a known issue that the cams and lifters wear down after a very short period of time. I’ve seen cases of 60k miles up to 120k miles. This is a crucial part of the vehicle and there’s no reason this should only last for a short period of time. Especially with all these people who claim had to spend thousands of dollars on repairs or sometimes new engines entirely. I have older vehicles from the 2000’s with more miles than never have had issues like this. This is either a bad part that was produced or bad material of some sort.

In May/June 2023, my ABS, Emergency Brake, and traction control lights all came on on my dashboard. I received a notice when starting the car that I need to service electronic braking system and service trailer brake system. At the same time, my cruise control stopped working. I took my vehicle to Hendrick Dodge in Cary, NC, on June 7, 2023, and received the following diagnosis: C220-49-Anti-lock brake module internal - internal electronic failure. The receipt said "the abs module is dead recommend replacing the hcu and abs module." It was an expensive repair and the advisor handling my visit that day assured me that my brakes still work and the vehicle is safe to drive. I also asked if safe to pull my horse trailer and he said yes. I decided a few months later to get the repair done and tried to order the module through the Hendrick Parts department. They indicated that there was an engineering hold on the part and they could not order it. The hold went until early (perhaps February or March?) 2024. So I made a note to call back in March - which I did, but at a different dealership parts department (John Heister in Sanford, NC). At that time, they said the hold was until May 2024. So I called back in May and they indicated the part is now available, but the vehicle has to come back in to be inspected and take pictures and ensure they order the correct part. I took the vehicle on May 21, they confirmed the issue and ordered the parts. The parts did not come in until August, when I had the following replaced for a cost of $2770 on August 30, 2024 to replace the ABS module and install anit-lock brake control. Earlier this month my husband who owns a 2022 Ram 1500 received a notification for a recall for the same issue on his truck.

My problem is with my Ram ABS/Traction control, cruise control doesn’t work, 4 wheel drive will not engage. Having only rear wheel drive makes it hard and dangerous to drive on snow covered roads. Almost hit a semi head on because my traction control and 4 wheel drive doesn’t work. I’ve been waiting almost 2 years for a new ABS controller. Chrysler has put the part I need on back order like 5 times in the last two years and winter is coming and it’s not safe to drive my truck on snow covered roads. I don’t know what to do. I’ve seen and heard lots of people having the same issue with the RAM trucks. Please help. Thank you!

ABS system. Says as soon as the vehicle is turned on.

The ABS and the Traction control. 3 times since taking my vehicle to get service the first time I have lost control. Once near my home turning into my street, my vehicle lost control and went into ditch. Second time it was raining, and light turned, and ABS did not engage and almost hit another vehicle. 3rd time my son was getting on the ramp and he lost control getting into the interstate was not raining but road was wet from rain earlier in the day. The licensed shop told me that Stellantis had so many of these and that of so many failures they had to change the way the module was made this was in March 2024. Now this is August 30th and after 3 weeks at a Ram dealer they called me to pick up my truck because the part is still not available to replace. They said that they are so many of these vehicles affected that they are not even allowed to place an order. So again, I am on the road with a vehicle that is a danger, and I can't fix because of the negligence of Stellantis.

Through my research on Kelly Blue Book this is a common problem with this year make and model of Ram 1500 pickups yet mine doesn't have this as a specific recall.

Question 1 The front fuel tank strap pulled out of its mount due to corrsion. The vehicle may be inspected request. Question 2 The tank could have fallen out before I noticed causing accident fire or injuries. Question 3&4 It has not been by the dealer or other entity. Question 5 There were no warning lights or messages other than a noise. On the afternoon of Aug 27 2024 I noticed an unusual noise under the vehicle during brakeing. Backing onto a set of ramps and conducting an inspection I found the full 30 gallon fuel tank hanging front end low only being held in by the rear strap. The noise was caused by the front fuel tank strap to intermittantly rubbing the drive shaft. The strap had pulled out of the slot in the frame due to heavy corrosion. The sprap is not able to be reinstalled in it mount location due to it being rusted out. Doing online research on how to repair this I found a recall for 2009-2012 Ram 1500s with the same problem. Safety Recall V04/NHTSA 18V-160 Frame Bracket. If I had not noticed the noise I may not have known about the tank strap until the tank actually fell out.

I have contacted Chrysler to no avail. They say the part is no longer being manufactured and I will have to obtain one through aftermarket makers. I have researched and checked on my own and with help from mechanics and this part is not made/available through aftermarket makers. Chrysler will not release the parts already made stating they do not want to provide me with a possible defective product.

I went online to do some research and I found out thousands of people are waiting years to get these parts and for every model and year since approximately 2012. The Dodge RAM people are not making the parts. They say it’s under “engineering review” or that they are simply backordered, FOR YEARS!!! So let me get this straight, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE DRIVING THEIR TRUCK ON THE ROAD IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION BECAUSE THE RAM PEOPLE “REFUSE” TO MANUFACTURE THE PARTS. This is what I’m being told.

Why are people allowed to drive their RAM around when every one of the modules is failing in every RAM? I was told by NAPA that the modules are all failing around 50,000 miles. And again, they warned me not to drive my truck. How are we all supposed to get to work?

The power steering completely stopped working. I originally noticed it was acting differently a few days prior. At that point, it was still working but, steering was ackward. The best way I can think of to describe it, is the steering wheel moved in the positions of seconds on a clock. Similar to a stepper motor. Luckily I was not driving when the complete failure happened. There would be no way to steer effectively. Today I went out for lunch, and the steering was locked up. When I tried to turn the wheel a load buzzing noise seemed to be coming from behind the steering wheel. It is currently at an auto shop but, I may move it to a dodge dealer to have a record of the problem, being there is an ongoing investigation with the NHTSA. The service power steering warning light came on after the total failure. It did not show up when it started acting up.

I am submitting this report to bring attention to an ongoing issue with the power steering system in my truck, which appears to be under investigation. Notably, a similar problem led to a recall for the same vehicle in the previous year, prompting me to contribute additional information. The problem manifests as intermittent loss of power steering, resulting in increased steering difficulty while driving, accompanied by a power steering warning indicator on the instrument panel. This issue first occurred approximately 8 months ago, at intervals of about once a month, given my limited vehicle usage (estimated at 200-300 miles per occurrence). In the past two weeks, there have been 3-4 instances of this occurring. I turn the truck off and back on and everything works normally. Within the last week something new that presented is that when the wheel is turned sharp to the left or right, the steering wheel would violently jump back the opposite direction. I am willing to make the vehicle available for inspection upon request. While the safety risks associated with this malfunction are numerous, the primary concern is the potential loss of steering ability at any speed, posing a significant risk of accidents resulting in severe injury or death. I have not sought professional servicing for the vehicle due to the intermittent nature of the problem, and as of now, the affected component has not undergone inspection. As previously noted above the power steering warning indicator consistently displays on my instrument panel during these occurrences until the truck is turned off and then back on. This occurs at any speed.

After service, the vehicle operated normally until nearly one year later(January 2023) when the power steering completely failed(steering fault warning on cluster) while on the interstate sixty miles from home. It was dark and raining that evening and I was forced to wrestle the vehicle home as I had no means of calling for help. It was stressful and incredibly unsafe. The first appointment available on January of 2023, I returned my truck to a Chrysler/Ram dealership for service.

I addressed the 2016 steering recall for Ram 1500s several times with the service department , but was told that the recall did not affect my truck nor was it related to my current problem with the truck.

Abs and traction control lights on. Appeared to fully not work December 2023. Had intermittent problems before starting back in 2019. I cannot afford to drive a rental car for the unforeseen future while Chrysler takes their time to figure out a statement. It isn’t right for the customers and other drivers to be put at risk for their engineering problems. Now my truck cannot be traded in at the max value due to the ABS module failure so the customer loses money trying to get from under the non safe vehicle. Please help and save peoples lives by making Chrysler own up to their failed engineering.

2016 Ram 1500 steering failure. When my truck had around 50,000 miles, the steering wheel became near impossible to turn. Vehicle was towed to Dodge Dealership and was still under warranty and was told it was the steering box that failed. Repair was made by dealership. Truck now has around 130,000, and today, luckily while pulling into work, steering wheel locked up again while driving it and the service power steering lights started flashing. This is the 2nd time the steering in my vehicle has failed.

While driving through mountainous terrain, my truck became unable to change gears and illuminated a check engine light and an electronic throttle control warning. I was able to limp it home to the dealership for repairs where they identified that the crankshaft tonewheel had delaminated. This exact issue is addressed in recall W68/NHTSA 20V-475 by FCA with the verbiage: "The magnetic material attached to the tone wheel on your vehicle provides a signal to the crankshaft position sensor. If this signal material is lost, the engine loses its ability to synchronize injector pulses and cam timing. This loss of crankshaft position can result in an engine stall, as well as loss of the ability to restart the engine. A loss of motive power can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning." Incredulously, FCA will not reimburse me for the cost of the repairs because they did not include my VIN in their W68 recall announcement. The exact part failed in the exact manner outlined in this recall, but their method to avoid liability is to simply say my VIN wasn't affected by the manufacturing defect--which it obviously was. Instead, they included my affected VIN in their W58 recall--which like a safe driver I complied with immediately--that only consisted of a software flash and an extended mileage/time warranty on the part (should it fail), that of course failed within 2 months of the warranty period expiring. I cannot understand how NHTSA would allow FCA to exclude VINs from W68 that were clearly affected by this very same manufacturing defect, and instead loop in clearly affected VINs in a simple software flash with a limited extended warranty. I ask that NHTSA please hold FCA accountable for this manufacturing defect and correctly cover ALL affected VINs with recall W68/NHTSA 20V-475.

Has had the "Hemi tick" ever since I bought it new. But didnt seem to effect performance, so I thought.......Time went on and the "tick" became louder and louder even though I got the oil changed religiously, air filters, tires, (2) tune ups, all proper maintenance was performed for the livelihood and longevity of the truck accordingly and have receipts to back up that claim. Now, at about 100,000 miles i had to replace the rear differential and axle of which i noticed was a recall of the same year and same truck but they say according to my vin number there are no recalls.......well, we need to include my truck in some of these because ive already paid out of pocket for the same problem listed in the recall. Also, regarding the active class action "HEMI TICK" lawsuit, low and behold, as i accumulated more miles, it gravitated to a loud tick, and an extreme loss of power when trying to accelerate to get on a highway or pass somebody on the highway, or even just take off from a green light.....it runs higher rpm than normal, the combustion is incorrect for sure, If I needed to hit the gas to get out of the way of danger, chances of success are grim. Twice I was on the highway going 70 and it straight up died, went blank! We were ok, thank God! My miles per gallon has dwindled away lower and lower getting about 8-11 mpg. It overheated this last summer in this condition. Anytime I parked and idled i had to have the hood open to prevent overheating. Took it to a couple auto shops and after replacing the fan clutch twice, the PCM, the throttle body/position sensor, accelerator position sensor, radiator flush, new radiator cap..........we cleared all error codes being we replaced the problems causing it to present a clear operating truck error free. .........all except the engine light when turning the key to power on, it blinked 10 times. Took it to dealership who quoted 800 to tear down the engine to get to the lifters and camshaft. 5,250.00 quote for lawsuit problem.

While driving at 70 MPH down I-90 in upstate New York, during rush hour traffic, my 2016 Ram 1500 eco diesel lost power (engine stopped). The truck lost power, including a loss in power steering. I was able to navigate the truck to the side of the road and a state trooper pull behind me while waiting for the tow truck. The truck would not start after this. There was no advanced warning for this failure. There were no warning lights, and before the engine stall, the truck was driving and behaving as it should. The truck was towed to a mechanic off the highway and later towed to Castilone Dodge in Batavia NY. The dealer found the magnetic perimeter of the tone wheel was flaking, which caused an issue with the driveshaft sensor, causing the truck to stall. Castilone found there is an existing recall on this for 2014-2019 RAM eco diesel trucks. The recall is for "Risk of delamination of crankshaft position sensor tone wheels". However, upon looking into this and calling RAM directly, RAM stated the recall only affects some VINs, and mine was not included. I spoke to two different people at RAM, who reiterated this. RAM claims that my truck received a good tone wheel, which was not included in the recall, and because of this, they refused to cover the repair and towing bill. The truck was taken to West Herr RAM in Lockport, NY, where they replaced the tone wheel for $1,760.65. I find it curious, that my truck experienced the same issue that was covered under recall warranty for other 2014-2018 RAM EcoDiesels. But my truck VIN was not captured in the recall. I asked RAM to investigate whether there are additional VINs that should be captured under the recall. They refused to escalate my request or do any additional research.

In February 2022 while driving my ABS light came on and stayed illuminated. I pulled over emergently on the freeway worried that my brakes were out. That was not the case, but the light was on and I was not sure if the vehicle could be driven. I got home and called Cutter Pearl City asap and was told that appointments were months away for service/diagnostic (I can only assume that this was due to COVID). I then took it to Capital Auto Repair in Waipio and had them read the code. I was told my ABS module was faulty and needed to be changed, at this point my 2016 truck only had 45000 miles on it and is well cared for-I disappointed but accept that a repair is necessary to drive my car safely. I called back Dodge to discuss my concerns and that I wanted the repair asap for the part. I was then told that the part was on National back order, no other information was available to me but I was again told that repairs were also being booked out a few months even with a diagnostic but that because it was on national back order it was not worth bringing it in at that time. I reached out to Honolulu Autoworks who is known to repair Dodge and Jeep and was told that if the part is on National Back Order he would not be able to get an OEM replacement. We have since placed this problem on the back burner but began having new code stating electronic throttle issues so finally took it into Autoworks-he is unable to repair anything without first repairing ABS issue because it is a "hard" code and per Dodge parts the parts are still on back order under "engineer review until 3/2024". The ABS module is $552 and the pump is recommended to be repaired at the same time is $1545 plus the labor. I am dumbfounded that this is not a recall a tthis point.

The vehicle has a faulty ABS module, which has resulted in my truck losing traction on dry roads and wet roads, however the “wet” roads are a result of a minimal sprinkle. The vehicle is beyond a vital component of my ability to make a living, i work in construction and have to be able to safely move equipment and supplies to sites; as of right now I am unable to drive the vehicle. The faulty ABS module caused my brakes to lock while pulling out of a park space with a slight incline in my place of employment, resulting in the sliding backwards towards a company vehicle and to avoid hitting it I moved the steering wheel to collide with a brick wall. The brakes and rotors were replaced a few months earlier this year as well as the truck being serviced regularly, however, the truck has continued to have parts fail throughout this year. From the starter to the fuel injection system, pump, gaskets between the engine and fuel intake, and now the vehicle is literally completely unsafe to drive and operate on the road! The traction control regulator is apart of the ABS system control module! I have looked everywhere (Firestone, DARCARS, Ect.) to find a replacement part and have been told that there are none available until sometime in March of 2024! There are no other options for me to reach out to. The vehicle can be inspected if requested, the issue appeared 3-4 weeks ago before being brought into the firestone shop before being serviced for faulty gaskets and fuel injection issues. The vehicle is under 100,000 miles, and I purchased it with just over 43,000 miles. I am in the process of contacting my insurance company and collecting the various service charges from different repair shops resulting in the inability to get the part.

This is based on multiple comments found on internet from others with same issue. If comments are true, backorder is not for procuring parts but for engineering to advise a solution.

Also here is another link to a site where people list there complaints with many related to same symptoms: [XXX] While this has not caused an accident or issue, No one can answer how safe is it driving a vehicle with these lights on and confirmed computer issue -by dealer.

Over the past months, we've been hearing what could best be described as a grinding noise from the steering, heard on any light nudge of the steering wheel, at speeds of about 35MPH and up, intensifying at higher speeds. While the sound is rather faint, it is our impression that over time it's been intensifying. We inspected the wheel hubs, which seem to be fine. We therefore believe it's quite likely the noise is coming from the steering rack (our model is equipped with an electric power assist steering). Searching online in an effort to learn if anyone else has been having similar issues, we found out that there's an ongoing investigation of steering issues related to RAM 1500 that includes 2016 models. We therefore decided to report our issue here.

Two years ago I experienced the warning lights coming on my dash with the ABS, Brakes and one other one I can't remember. The truck locked up and I had to have it towed and the two driver had trouble getting it loaded. The repair shop replaced the ABS module & hydraulic assembly with a rebuilt part. Two weeks ago, the same brake failure happened with the locking up and the lights. I've been told by the dealer and repair shop that the ABS module is on a national backorder due to waiting on the engineering review to be complete with no estimated time to release a new part. All the dealers and repair shop have said I should not drive it. I learned two years ago that this is a very wide spread issue with this model and there's been no recall issued. The fact that the brakes can lock up while driving is the utmost form of safety issue. I am now without a vehicle and Dodge will not provide any type of support to help with a rental care. The ABS module has a design defect and is known by Dodge to be defective. The part # is 68295368AC.

The power steering in my 2016 ram pick up truck has started to go intermittently on and off. Sometimes it feels like it’s catching on some thing when it goes out and then it comes right back on. Other times it is completely inoperable. This occurs for a couple days at a time and then the power steering will work for a period of 1 to 2 weeks before acting up again. I have also noticed a squeaking sound when turning the wheel to the right every now and then. I did take the truck in to the dealership however, on the day that I did, the power steering was working correctly, therefore, they were unable to diagnose anything. They stated that the power steering was working as it should. because of how random the power steering goes out, it is near impossible for me to get it to the dealership in time for them to properly diagnose. I did notice that your organization has opened an investigation into an issue at sounds very similar to the one that I’m having. because of how random the power steering goes out, it is near impossible for me to get it to the dealership in time for them to properly diagnose.

I bought a 2016 Ram 1500 Ecodiesel brand new from a Dodge, Ram, Jeep dealership. November 2021 I taking my son, who was 11 years old at the time, to a friends house. The route to the friend's house was through a farm area and the roads were hilly with moderate traffic. I remember driving down one of the hills and starting hearing an odd sound coming from the engine. The sound was sort of like a light thud or rocking sound. It started off quiet and soft at first but start getting louder and louder. We weren't very far from our destination so we continued on. We came to a stop at a stop sign at an intersection then proceeded through it when traffic was clear. We got up to about 35 MPH and the sound from the engine became extremely loud then all of the sudden the engine seized/shut off and all the electronic shut down. The power steering and power brakes were not receiving and any power so it became really hard to control the vehicle. I struggled to turn the steering wheel to the side of the narrow county road and was eventually able to stop the vehicle. I tried to restart the vehicle multiple times and each time was unsuccessful. Since the vehicle would not start, I had to order a tow truck to tow the vehicle to the dealership. The dealership looked at my truck and told me the crankshaft failed and they metal from the crank in my oil pan. When they told me this I started doing research to see if anybody else had this problem. I found a recall for 2014-2018 Ram ecodiesel trucks (W58/NHTSA 20V-475) that came out in February 2021. I brought this up the the service tech at the dealership and said it didn't matter me since my VIN was not included in the recall. Service tech recommended engine gets replaced since the metal found in the oil pan broke off from the crankshaft and traveled through the engine. The truck was towed back to my residence and has yet to be repaired. 6/8/23 - FCA Recall #66A/NHTSA Recall #23V-411 announced and my VIN is included.

The electronic steering in this truck seemed to have malfunctioned in December 2022. The truck had approximately 60,000 miles on the odometer. It seems that the power steering is failing to assist with steering efforts, making it more difficult to safely steer the truck. The steering wheel does not return to center on its own, takes more effort to move the wheel, and at some degrees of the steering wheel, seems to not work at all. Sometimes the steering wheel seems to "skip" as well, depending on the position. It happened randomly but the only difference was after a big snow storm. The truck did not travel through deep snow but the roads were wet from clean up/salt. The only things that seem to maybe help are wiggling the plug on the ESC or getting a car wash - but then it still does not go back to normal, just seems like its getting a tad bit more power. But then it goes back to failing to assist. It is described just like the recall that is out there for these trucks, but my VIN does not fall under the recall, even though the symptoms are the exact same. The dealership and Ram Cares have been no help in this either. I have tried a few things including replacing the battery, fuses, steering components - everything rather than replacing the whole rack and ESC. Nothing seems to help.

My 2016 Ram 1500 Sport developed an exhaust leak originating from the exhaust manifold like many other Rams. I noticed it because I could hear a ticking noise upon starting the vehicle, specifically coming from the passenger side front wheel-well. The vehicle was brought to a local Ram dealer and was diagnosed as having multiple sheared studs on the passenger side exhaust manifold. Due to the truck being over 5 years old, the power train warranty no longer covers this. Ram is well aware of this issue but still refuses to initiate a recall. This issue presents a safety concern and has a potential to endanger myself and any other passengers who get in the vehicle due to raw engine exhaust fumes being released within the engine bay while the vehicle is running which could enter the cabin of the vehicle while in operation causing potential injury.

The local in Springdale, Ar. say some of the parts will be in about 6/13/2023, some parts not until the 19th, but those parts show " no movement". he says that means they will be much later.

Finally at my house driving the truck was running and it just died. Since then I was unable to start it again. This happened June 2022, using a computer scanner I saw that it was a bad fuel pump. I called the dealership and they told me that my truck has a recall and that they are uneable to repair it and that I had to wait. I was then told to wait until January 2023 because that was the expected resolution time for the recall. So far it has been 11 months and my truck has not been repair. Back on January 2023 I opened a case with Ram and they told me to take the truck to the dealership. The dealership submitted an estimate repair cost to the recall department but they have not approved the money to make the repair.

ODI #11515775TIRES

I bought my truck August 17, 2016 brand new from Crown Dodge - Chrysler with 7 miles on the odometer. When I bought my truck it had Good Year tires on the truck. At about 35k to 40k miles I replaced those tires with Michelin Defender LTX M/S that I purchased from Delta World Tire shop located 1629 Popps Ferry Road, Biloxi, MS 39532. Initially Delta World Tire shop could not correctly balance the rear tires. After a couple of complaints and rebalancing the tires, both within a 4 week time period, the manager rode with me on a road test. At this point, he ordered 2 new tires, however that did not take care of the problem. Since then I have twice had the tires rotated and aligned and supposedly balanced by the same tire shop that I purchased them from. After about putting about 5 thousand miles on these tires the tires felt like they were scraping across the pavement when turning from a stop, like when I was taking a right or left at a corner at a stop sign. The scraping feeling is more noticeable when taking a right. I have repeatedly talked to the manager at the shop asking about a possible recall on these tires, their method of balancing the tires or possible remedies, all I have been told is that they will not replace the tires or refund me anything for these tires. The manager suggested that there must be a problem with struts or something, however they wouldnt commit to that. At this point I spoke with an auto mechanic and he knew exactly what I was speaking of and said that it is the tires. I purchased Michelin tires for a previous vehicle that was a GMC Envoy from the same tire shop and that SUV drove like it was on rails. This was even more reason why I went with Michelin Tires. At this point, I will never buy Michelin Tires for any vehicle or trailer again in my lifetime. I also go out of my way to tell clients and inspectors how bad these tires are. Are Michelin Tires now made in Mexico or "Made In China" like all the other items that are junk???

Got to new state and contacted a dealer who also said they are still on back order and do not know when they will be available. This is a primary vehicle of ours and to not get be able to get ahold of a part because everyone else seems to be having the same problem is very frustrating and inconvenient and a cause of concern. We cannot drive our vehicle without it being unsafe. We have now been out of a vehicle for over a year. 10 months of that year, not being able to get ahold of a new part because they are out of stock. If the part isn’t even available for easy repair and people have to wait months in order to receive one because they are in such high demand, that’s a obvious fault of the manufacturer on the part and needs to be covered as a recall. I cannot sell my vehicle for a reasonable price because of the issue, I cannot trade in my vehicle for a reasonable price because of the issue and I cannot fix the issue because the part is not available.

The driver side window continues to not work properly in cold weather until it completely fell down into the door frame area. It was 7° outside when this finally happened. Driving with the window down at the drivers side is dangerous and can lead to us wrecking. And we have small children (a 1 year and 8 year old). Fortunately our children were not in the truck, but now the window will not work properly and we have to fear it will fall again while our children are in the truck.

While preparing to make a legal left turn from CO State Highway 69 on to Route 1A (38.30908° N 105.62018° W) my sister [XXX] was struck from behind, by a 2016 Dodge Ram Truck traveling 61-64 MPH with activated Cruise Control. In Fremont County Court hearing Jan. 30, 2021, the driver [XXX] referred to the judge, that he was unable to deactivate his 2016 Dodge Ram 1500 cruise control, thereby causing the DEATH. In open court [XXX] referred to cruise control RECALL NHTSA Campaign #18V332000 and FAILED Dodge Ram Campaign #U53 that discounted proper repairs ORDERED in the original NHTSA SAFETY RECALL #18V332000. IT APPEARS, that the disregard for proper repairs to be carried out on the cruise control system amount to MURDER of my sister [XXX] at the hands of Chrysler, Ram Trucks, and FCA US LLC. INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE OPENED on HOW or WHY GEICO Insurance ([XXX]'s Auto Ins. policy #[XXX]) declared his 2016 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT Quad Cab 4X4 with approximately value of (at time of crash - June 12, 2021) $33,000, a total loss. THE EXACT DAY, a Saturday after the 4PM crash. Per Car Fax and notes from the court regarding release of the 2016 Dodge Ram 1500 Truck. The truck was CRUSHED - EXACTLY 6 months +1 day after the crash. IMPORTANT TO NOTE, that Both Trooper [XXX] (C.S.P. Investigator with 26 years of service) was FIRED for "DISHONESTY" and his supervisor was also fired likely for same cause. Likely due, or at least, in part to my opening CBI investigation into this matter. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Shortly after starting my 2016 Ram 1500 4x4 truck on January 27 2023 I was beginning to leaving my driveway and accelerate down the road when I noticed a check steering warning light displayed on my dash. Then I noticed my steering was quickly beginning to fail just a few meters from my driveway. I noticed I had very limited steering so I decided to return the vehicle back to my driveway. There was a high pitch winding and grinding sound every time I tried to correct the steering wheel to the left or right. I barely managed to return home into my driveway where I parked it for the tow truck. After doing some research I discovered there was a safety recall May 12, 2016 on the Electric Power Steering (EPS) unit. S19 / NHTSA 16V-167 Electric Power Steering which applies to certain 2015 and 2016 model year 1500 series RAM trucks. I have scheduled an appointment to tow my truck to Bayview Chrylser dealership in Sarnia Ontario to replace the Rack and Pinion / Electric Power Steering (EPS) unit . I feel this is an extremely serious safety concern on all 2015/2016 Trucks and these vehicles should be recalled to have this part inspected and replaced by Chrysler free of charge ASAP before lives are lost! I was on the highway the day before and I consider myself very lucky this incident didn't happen at that moment where I would have had no time to react on the faster moving highway. This loss of steering control could have easily resulted in a crash or a fatality. PLEASE address the steering fault before it's too late. I look forward to hearing from a representative from Chrysler to discuss a future recall on these affected trucks. A Very concerned Dodge Truck owner

I had the AEM for mission controls performed. Since then, I have experienced a reduction of 5 miles per gallon in fuel efficiency. Additionally, and more importantly, there is a lag in acceleration from a stopped position that is a safety issue. This has caused a number of near accidents due the the lack of acceleration at a stop sign or intersection. I have contacted my RAM dealer on a number of occasions, but I am always informed that there is no repair issued for this by RAM. I was assured by RAM that the AEM would not cause a degradation of performance but it clearly has as there are thousands of other owners who have reported this as well. I have tried to get this resolved throught Chrysler cares, but they continue to tell me that what I am experiencing is not a result of the AEM. However, there are thousands of the same complaints online from other RAM 1500 owners. Please let advise me what recourse I may have or if your agency has addressed this issue previously as it is a severe safety concern.

My 2016 Ram 1500 Sport developed an exhaust leak originating from the exhaust manifold like many other Rams. I noticed it because I could hear a ticking noise upon starting the vehicle, specifically coming from the passenger side front wheel-well. The vehicle was brought to a local Ram dealer and was diagnosed as having multiple sheared studs on the passenger side exhaust manifold. Due to the truck being over 5 years old, the power train warranty no longer covers this. Ram is well aware of this issue but still refuses to initiate a recall. This issue presents a safety concern and has a potential to endanger myself and any other passengers who get in the vehicle due to raw engine exhaust fumes being released within the engine bay while the vehicle is running which could enter the cabin of the vehicle while in operation causing potential injury.

Traveling at hwy speeds the vehicle lurched as if the brakes were suddenly slammed on then removed. Speed was reduced to 60 mph, no sounds or vibrations noticed so began accelerating back to hwy speeds. RPM kept building but speed was not increasing as normal. Within a few seconds loud banging under the vehicle was heard and half the drive shaft came out the back flipping end over end down the hwy. The shaft struck the grill of a jeep following me but no damage was seen upon inspection. The truck came to a relatively calm stop on the side of the road. Both halves of the drive shaft were recovered, one from the middle of the road, the other about 20 yards into the ditch. Rear diff was spilling fluid. All casings and covers seemed to be intact. Towed to Dealer, inspected and they said best they figure is the axle seized up, destroyed the diff, and shaft. They do not believe the transmission or transfer case were affected but can't be sure until new rear assembly and shaft installed. No one was injured in this event, although if the speed and height of the axle shaft flipping end over end down the hwy into the jeep was different serious injury could have occurred. Additionally, if a component of the rear assembly came off the truck could have come to a violent stop.

They informed me that the fuel pump is under recall warranty, and I should take my truck to the dealer to have the recall fulfilled. The dealer informed me that the recall could not be performed on my vehicle, due to a lack of recall parts.

Truck sat in my works parking lot for about 3 weeks before I took it to a dealer in that time we diagnosed it as a fuel issue as it would crank fine and would only start as we sprayed diesel down the intake. Truck has now been at local dealer for 4 months with the solution looking to be the most recent High Pressure Fuel Pump recall that just opened. Dealer seems to be sitting on their hands waiting for something magic to happen for the issue to be resolved but nothing is being done to fix this part failure. Truck has left me blocking traffic on multiple events and dealer says they cant inspect my pump until the backordered one arrives which is next year in February.

2016 Ram 1500 4x4 5.7 Hemi....ABS, Traction Control, BRAKE lights are all on. Had the DTS codes scanned and told the ABS Module is Bad (Internal Failure) as well as the HCU unit. Happened with approx. 24,000 miles but out of 36 month warranty. Well documented issue with these vehicles yet FCA will not recall nor help with repair. To make matters worse, the ABS module (part #68295368AC) is not currently available at all and there is no ETA either. Says part is discontinued on many Mopar parts websites. I, like who knows how many hundreds of others, are driving around with no ABS, Traction Control and also cruise control is automatically disabled. Also, the other day my Speedometer stopped working and I also lost power steering. This is a MAJOR safety issue and should have at least been covered by the powertrain warranty so at least I would not be liable for the approx $1800+ repair cost. The fact that the ABS Module is not even available is very worrisome at the very least. I have no choice but to drive my truck in this manner hoping I don't get into an accident due to failing brakes!!!

There is an open recall for certain vin#'s 20v-475 that happened to my vehicle and according to message boards a lot of other vehicles that have the failure of the tone wheel to the exact way the recall is listed but for some reason the vin does't fall under the recall. My vehicle had a complete shut down without warning or noises while driving at highway speeds on a windy narrow parkway with minimal shoulder. If I wasn't driving in the right lane at the time my situation could've been even more dangerous than it already was. I don't understand how a part that that is used in all ecodiesel engines from 2014-2018 and has a known failure is supposedly only affecting a small percentage of engines when they all have the same part. I have searched message board after message board and have found a lot of listings of this part failure all on vin's that for some reason aren't on the recall. As a SAFETY precaution letters should've went out to all ecodiesel vehicles within those years to at least alert drivers theres a potential for this failure. If it wasn't for the fuel pump recall that they do not have a fix for, I wouldn't have been as aware of m vehicle possibly shutting down without warning. Again I think as a SAFETY precaution letters should be sent to all ecodiesel owners alerting them of this possible engine failure that could endanger their lives and open an investigation to see why a part used in all of the vehicles only affects certain ones when it is obviously failing in all ecodiesel engines.

While driving on the Garden State Pkwy in New Jersey I had a sudden braking event for traffic. After resuming highway speed the engine shut off and the dashboard lit up with warning lights. I coasted towards a narrow right lane shoulder and came to a stop. I was towing a tandem axle U-Haul trailer. The vehicle came to a stop and was blocking almost half of the right traffic lane. I had to be towed off the parkway. The Ram / Dodge dealership said a Tone Ring mounted between the engine and transmission failed causing the engine to suddenly stop. This resulted in a $210 tow and a $3400 repair bill. Research in this failure shows that FCI is aware of the problem and could possibly prevent the engine shutdown and hazards that followed.

While traveling at highway speeds on a narrow parkway with minimal shoulders, the vehicle without warning or noise shut down, almost causing a major accident and I wouldn't have been able to get to the shoulder if I wasn't in the right lane. The shoulder barely had room for my truck putting myself and other vehicles at risk. There was ABSOLUTELY no warning that my car was going to completely shut down, no lights illuminated on my dash until i was on the grass and the engine was dead. The dealership confirms the exact issue was a failure of the Magnetic tone wheel that has a NHTSA Recall# 20V-475, that is an identical symptom and diagnosis to my exact issue. The dealership Meadowlands of Carmel (845)225-8468 [XXX] in the service department quoted me $1,600.00 plus tax to replace the magnetic tone wheel. I am also a government employee and I am unable to get to work. My engine type and year (2016) is identical to this recall stated above (20V-475), but for some reason that no one at RAM Customer Service or the RAM Recall Department can identify why my VIN number is excluded from a recall that my VIN is clearly a part of. I had ZERO symptoms, warnings before I could have been potentially killed. My kids were thankfully not in the car with me. I feel this is well within the spectrum of my VIN number qualifying to participate in this recall coverage, as well as other RAMS who may not even be aware of this without doing their own research of the circumstances and symptoms. I feel incredibly lucky to be alive and I follow my maintenance as recommended to a tee. Please feel free to go to Meadowlands in Carmel, NY: 1952 US-6 Carmel, NY 10512.

Purchased my 2016 Ram 1500 Crew Cab 4x4 SLT Big Horn June 2019. At that point the previous owner had the truck in the shop and while there it was diagnosed that the fuel pump failed. About January 2020 I stated having the famous Hemi Tick but not all the time. I'm very ocd on all maintenance of my truck, witch I or my husband and son; both certified diesel mechanics. I only run Valvoline Full Synthetic 5w-20 oil and a K&N Oil Filter and is changed before the 5k mark. Fast forward to Oct 2021 truck starts not wanting to start, Tick is very very loud and does it warm or cold does not matter. At times would not even start. Send it to the local dealership, with CEI on, they diagnosis as 4 manifold studs are broken, 800 bucks later they are replaced. But only 4, supposedly two on each side. Get truck back, drive maybe 5 miles CEI back on. Truck running as if it has no power, getting no fuel. Was able to get it home, called dealership next morning took truck back. This happened mutiple times. Called the main dealership in Edmond, Oklahoma in an attempt to get someone to figured out why I kept getting told my truck was fixed and it was not. Come to find out after 3 months in the shop the fuel pump yet again failed. Now, there is a recall and my vin is not included but yet I have had TWO failed fuel pumps. And now June 2022 I have the famous Hemi Tick again. To witch I can only guess is the other manifold studs that they for some dumb reason did not replace when they should have.

The first sign of a problem was when my touch screen radio would randomly shut off and then turn back on again. As it would get hotter it would happen more often. Then the turn signals would have trouble flickering. The check engine light would show up and I've tried getting that figured out. When I was driving it would tell me "service transmission continue in D. Do not shift or turn engine off until you reach a desired location. You may not be able to shift again until serviced" with a blinking exclamation point. It would occasionally also say "service shifter" and sometimes when I would start it, it shuts off immediately. The worse part of all is when I was driving it doesn't automatically shift gears so I have to pull over and shut the truck off to be able to shift at the speel limit speed. This was all happening repeatedly 6 months ago before I dropped it off at the 2nd dodge dealership. The first one gave up on finding the problem. 1 year later and it's only gotten worse, aside from all the money spent.

Once truck was there few days later they called telling me that I had 4 broken Exhaust Manifold Bolts, needed another new battery, and CEL was on due to Fuel Pressure Switch failure. Picked truck up Jan 6, 2022. Did not even get out of city limits when CEL back on. Drove it 15 miles home. Changed the battery with brand new one. CEL back on, called dealership, requested Manager. Told to bring back in the following Monday. Truck back @ dealership Jan 10, 2022 just picked back up Feb 2,2022 to witch CEL IS STILL ON. after a month they fixed a 200 dollar connector behind the driver wheel and it still has not fixed the frickin issue. Now it's still throwing P062A code. Dealership acted as if they was beyond annoyed by me & my truck. Will yet again call them Monday. And now my exhaust is rattling that they just had off. I have paid out of pocket for all these repairs and they are getting beyond expensive and I'm not the only one with these issues. My truck has had all work done when suggested if not before.

I received a pre-notice regarding the side airbag recall associated with my vehicle just after it was issued (Aug. 2021). I have been in touch with my local dealership many times, with a response to check back later. Since the initial notice, I have received nothing on the status or remedy concerning this recall. Being that airbags are a vital safety system, it is my assessment that the manufacturer should stop dragging their feet on this recall and provide a solution.

ODI #11448890SUSPENSION1 INJURY

Air suspension randomly fails to inflate, 1 or multiple bags do not inflate. Drivability is very dangerous as you have no suspension keeping the tires on the ground when going over any bumps on the road. Steering can also be affected as it can lean to one side causing steering pull to that side that is deflated. Loss of control is a factor as well while turning and accelerating, with the harshness of no suspension keeping the wheels in contact of the ground, even little input to the accelerator will put unpredictable power to the wheels usually losing grip putting the vehicle into an oversteer event.

Was pulling in to a parking lot when the vehicle made a warning sound and then displayed "Check Engine" and "Service Shifter" messages on dash. The truck then would not shift in to any other gear but drive. it displayed that it was in park but stayed in gear and almost caused me to drive in to a pedestrian. The shift lights on the dash for the gears (P, N,R, D) all flashed randomly as if there was an electrical issue. Eventually I was able to set the brake, turn off the truck, restart it, and it finally changed gears. I took the vehicle to the dealer the next business day and they told me looking at the codes, that the shift module needs to be replaced. From what I have read online in forums this is an EXTREMELY common safety issue affecting the shifting/drivability of the vehicle. Per dealer, this is not related to the recall affecting the shifter on the vehicle. I contacted Ram care and they advised there was nothing they could do for me either. Total repair is going to be over $1,000 and I have no idea if this is even the issue or when it will happen again.

RAM has teamed with T Mobile to add cell access back to the Uconnect system. 2016 models work with 3G, which was phased out 1 JAN 2022. RAM sent me a T Mobile 4G adapter that plugs into the OBD2 port under the dash. When installed, the adapter sticks out at least 3 inches below the dash and interferes with brake and accelerator. Clearly this was a rush job and not thought thru. I have been unable to get any assistance from RAM regarding this. I've included a pic of this device installed.

At which time I was coming up on an intersection where I attempted to apply my brakes to prevent me from rear ending several vehicles. My brakes did not engage properly my steering very stiff and hard to turn, I barley made it around the vehicles in front of me. I then coasted as far as the vehicle would go not being able to stop, leaving me in an active intersection right on the off ramp. I have contacted the manufacturer in regards to recall W58 which is the crankshaft position sensor and tone wheel which 85% of these trucks where recalled for.

Hello, The safety problem is while driving the truck the fuel gauge needle drops to empty intermittently and a warning light flashes. Now not knowing how much fuel is in the tank is dangerous because running out of fuel especially on the highway will stall the engine followed by loss of brakes and steering. The dealer said its an electrical fuel sender resistor card inside the fuel tank that is shorting out, that alone scares me. Searching online I found out it's a common problem among 2016 Ram trucks. I will not let my family drive this truck until the electrical problem is fixed. Thanks for reading!

A recent service on my RAM prompted a discussion with another customer and subsequently the service manager of the dealer. The topic was exhaust manifold leaks with the RAM 5.7 liter hemi engine. The dealership was repairing 2 that day and the service manager says that’s a typical day. The issue is that after 40,000 miles, one or more of the exhaust manifold bolts fatigue and fail which causes an exhaust leak. Of course and exhaust leak in the engine room is a huge safety risk for the exhaust gases can be drawn into the passenger compartment through the intakes just behind the hood. The leak also causes an emissions violation and can cause fuel economy performance issues. This issue affects models from 2008 to present. RAM has made a design change to fix the issue but has not issued a recall. I was told that it’s highly likely I will have the issue. I cannot believe a recall has not been required. Exhaust leaks are extremely dangerous.

On August 28, 2021, I was driving towards Huntsville, TX, on Hwy 30, a rural divided highway with two lanes in each direction. The speed limit is 70. The truck was empty except for me, and a few tools. I had the cruise control set at 60 mph and was going up a slight hill when then truck suddenly and violently popped out of gear. At first, I thought someone had hit me from behind. Fortunately, there was nobody close to me and I coasted to the side of the road and stopped. After a few minutes trying to calm down and read the truck manual--I never turned the engine off-- I followed the instructions to shift back to P (Park) and then select a gear. I did this and the bell ringing and flashing lights stopped. So I shifted to drive and took off again. This time I did not use the cruise control--just slowly got back up to speed. Then BOOM! Once again, around 60mph about 4 miles down the road, the truck popped out of gear a second time violently and suddenly with no warning. Once again, I coasted to a stop and just sat there halfway freaked out. Finally, I turned the emergency blinkers on and crept into Huntsville at 30 mph. The next day, Sunday, August 29, I started the truck to see what would happen, and the Check Engine light was no longer lit up. I phoned the Wischnewsky Dodge dealership in Huntsville, TX, and the Service Manager Chris Lovelady said I could bring the truck in and he would read the codes at no charge. On Friday, September 3, I met Service Manager Chris Lovelady at 11am and he downloaded the codes. I took a picture of the three codes (file uploaded below). He said the significant code of the three was P0984 Shift Solenoid 5 Control Circuit Range/Performance. He stated that since the codes were 'Stored' and not 'Active', he could not work on the truck--he said I had to drive it some more. If this incident had happened on the crowded freeway in Houston where I live, there most certainly would have been a wreck.

When I bought the vehicle last year it was brought to my attention that something was loose in my front end that shouldn't be by a mechanic and it had only 75000 miles on it then . He had said it could lock up and cause a accident. My truck had been to the dealer I bought it at twice for part on the axel that was leaking some grease. I was told they are wear and tare parts, but they didn't say anything about it seeming loose . I went for inspection and I was told that I need a new front end axel assembly kit that is 3000$ and they took my inspection sticker for it saying it is unsafe to drive until fixed that it could lock up and cause a accident. This sounded just like what the guy told me at 75000 miles. I was told it was bad at the dealer I bought it from at the time of inspection and when I looked up online it said the milage it is good for 80000 to 100000 miles. There has been no warning and I did not notice a problem so I went to a mini mechanic he gave me a sticker but I am noticing the axel being bad now. I am scared to drive my vehicle and if this is the case that it goes bad every 80000 to 100000 miles shouldn't it be recalled? The mini mechanic told me dodge did not design the axel to be protected from dabre and to keep it in better condition to take it off and grease it every once in a while. Yes my truck is available for inspection upon request . Thank you would like a clear answer on this soon where I have a child that I don't want to have put in danger or those around me.

Chrysler needs to stand behind what they build and fix this problem before someone gets killed. Myself and anyone else who owns a 2015-2016 Ram truck and has experienced this problem should have Chrysler remedy this under recall 16v167000.

On 5/27/21 while driving on a highway 295 in Virginia, the truck engine shutoff while driving 70 mph in lane 3 of a four lane highway. Engine would not restart and braking/steering was also affected. Diagnostics and Chrysler/Ram dealer mechanic confirmed the magnetic material on the tone wheel failed and the engine was not able to determine the position of the crankshaft so the engine stalled. The dealer attempted to address this using the W58/NHTSA 20V-475 software remediation of the powertrain control module but this failed. The dealer confirmed the tone wheel needed to be replaced. I have the defective tone wheel. I called Chrysler to report but they said this VIN # was not covered by the recall W68/NHTSA 20V-475 despite the circumstances being identical. There were no other warning lights or symptoms before this incident.

Exhaust rear passenger bolts broke last year when vehicle had 60k miles and now has 130k and drivers side rear bolt has broken. Last time the warranty covered it and now my truck is out of warranty to do the driver side. I googled it and it seems to be a problem with 2009 rams with hemi. Exhaust leak is fairly loud and goes away as the engine warms up.. just wanted to see if there is so many clams of this same part (bolt) is or will there be a recall.... Because of the bolt braking they will have to replace the head.. Its like a $3,000 plus job.

AFTER THIS UPDATE, THE VEHICLE FUEL MILEAGE DROPPED ABOUT 18% WHICH IS LESS THAN THE ADVERTISED MILEAGE. THE VEHICLE ALSO LOST POWER (I HAVE NO WAY OF MEASURING) BUT A NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE WHEN TOWING. LAST BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, THERE IS A TERRIBLE THROTTLE RESPONSE LAG WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD. THIS ISSUE HAS CAUSED SOME NEAR CRASH SCENARIOS FOR ME WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PULL OUT ON A BUSY ROAD. SPECIFICALLY, WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR WHILE ROLLING WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD, THE THROTTLE MUST BE PUSHED BETWEEN 3/4 AND FULL TO GET THE VEHICLE TO RESPOND (I'VE READ THIS IS CAUSED BY THE COLD TURBINE). THIS OCCURS EVERY DAY WITH THE MASTERS NEAR ACCIDENT OCCURRING TODAY WHILE LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP.

THE DEALERSHIP INITIALLY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS CONCURRENT WITH RECALL 16V167000 (NHTSA RECALL 16V-167), BUT THEN LATER DETERMINED THAT THE VIN OF MY VEHICLE DID NOT MEET THE SPECIFICATIONS. THIS ISSUE OCCURRED OUT OF THE BLUE ON MY VEHICLE, AND MAKES IT UNDRIVEABLE. THE REPAIR QUOTE IS UPWARDS OF $2600.

ANOTHER PROBLEM I HAVE, IS THAT THE ENGINE SOUNDS AND FEELS LIKE IT IS STRUGGLING WHEN I AM CRUISING AT ABOUT 1,200-1,500 RPM'S, AS IF IT IS IN TOO HIGH A GEAR. WHEN I HIT THE ACCELERATOR TO PASS OR SPEED UP, IT HESITATES, DOWNSHIFTS AND EVENTUALLY ROARS TO LIFE. THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE OVERNIGHT. THEY DROVE IT AROUND. THEY TOLD ME TO COME AND PICK IT UP ON THE FOLLOWING DAY. WHEN I GOT THERE, THE SERVICE ASSOCIATE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD "RESET THE ADAPTATIONS AND UPDATED THE TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE."

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A USED CAR DEALER. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SO FAR. SOMETIMES WHEN PUTTING VEHICLE IN DRIVE OR REVERSE, IT WILL LOCK TRANSMISSION IN PARK. A WARNING FLASHES THAT VEHICLE IS NOT IN PARK. NO KIDDING, I'M TRYING TO DRIVE AWAY, BUT CAN'T. I MADE A 3 POINT TURN ON A BUSY STREET AND ENDED UP BLOCKING TRAFFIC. AFTER 10 MINUTES OF TRYING SEVERAL THINGS IF FINALLY STARTED WORKING AGAIN. ONCE, I PUT IT IN REVERSE, STARTED BACKING UP OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, PUSHED THE BRAKE A FEW TIMES, THEN SUDDENLY IT LOCKED UP IN THE STREET. AFTER 10 TO 15 MINUTES OF RESTARTING TRUCK, IT EVENTUALLY STARTED WORKING AGAIN. IF SOMEONE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION, THEY WOULD HAVE PLOWED INTO ME BOTH TIMES. ONE OTHER TIME I WENT TO START THE VEHICLE IN A PARKING SPACE AND COULDN'T DRIVE ANYWHERE FOR 15 MINUTES UNTIL IT STARTED WORKING. I HAVEN'T SPOKEN TO ANYONE AT THE DEALER YET, BUT I WILL SOON. FROM RESEARCH I HAVE DONE SO FAR IT SEEMS TO BE THE SHIFT INTERLOCK SOLENOID. SO FAR, EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED TO SHIFT GEARS. THE BIG PROBLEM IS WHERE IT STOPS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. UNTIL I CAN GET THIS LOOKED AT, I WILL NEED TO PLAN WHERE I PARK OR TURN AROUND, SO I DON'T BLOCK TRAFFIC.

AFTER THE DEALER INSTALLED THIS WHICH I BELIEVE IT WAS JUST AN ECM REFLASH MY TRUCK GETS WORSE FUEL ECONOMY AND SOMETIMES WILL START AND THE RPMS WILL SLOWLY CREEP DOWN UNTIL THE TRUCK DIES. IF I KEEP RESTARTING THE ENGINE IT WILL EVENTUALLY STAY RUNNING AFTER 10 OR 15 MINUTES IDLING. NORMALLY DOES IT WHEN YOU ARE ON A TIME CRUNCH. MY ENGINE HAS ALWAYS CONSUMED A LOT OF ENGINE COOLANT. WAS ON A TRIP WITH MY FAMILY AND THE HEAT QUIT WORKING. I STOPPED AT A PARTS STORE AND PURCHASED A GALLON OF ANTIFREEZE AND IT TOOK THE WHOLE GALLON TO FILL IT BACK UP TO THE RESOVOIR. I HAVE HAD TO ADD COOLANT AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH. HAVE PROBABLY ADDED 4 GALLONS IN THE LAST YEAR.ACCELERATION IS VERY SLUGGISH AT TIMES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO DO IT. I RECENTLY TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER FOR THE STARTING PROBLEM AND THE COOLANT CONSUMPTION PROBLEM.

AS I WAS NEARLY ABOUT TO COLLIDE WITH THE VEHICLES AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT/INTERSECTION AND FRANTICALLY PUMPING THE BRAKE PEDDLE , I FINALLY GOT THE BRAKES TO ENGAGE. WHEN I FINALLY CAME TO A STOP , I WAS HAPPY TO NOT HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND KEPT DRIVING THINKING WHATEVER HAPPENED HAD FIXED IT'S SELF ( SUNNY DAY , AND DRY PAVEMENT ) . THE NEXT DAY ON MY WAY HOME FOR WORK I HEARD A GRINDING NOISE FROM THE PASSENGER REAR WHEEL , AND PULLED OVER TO CHECK IT OUT . I NOTICED THE ROTOR SCORED BADLY, AND THE OUTER PAD MISSING THE FRICTION MATERIAL , SO I PICKED UP A SET OF PADS AND WENT HOME TO PULL THE WHEEL OFF AND INSPECT . NOW , I HAVE BEEN A MECHANIC OVER 20 YEARS AND DONE WELL OVER A THOUSAND BRAKE JOBS/SERVICES ON HUNDREDS OF MAKES/MODELS OF VEHICLES , AND HAVE NEVER SEEN THE OUTER BRAKE PADS WARE OUT FIRST . THE TRUCK HAS ONLY 38,000 MILES ON IT AND THE FRONT BRAKES HAVE OVER 1/4" OF PAD LEFT , AND THE REARS HAVE ABOUT THE SAME , AND A BRAKE CHANGE IS A LONG WAYS AWAY , SO I WAS CURIOUS WHAT I'D FIND .

I DID HOWEVER FIND THE INNER PAD ABOUT 1/2 DELAMINATED ( FRICTION MATERIAL-TO-METAL BACK PLATE ) AND AN OUTER PAD WITH THE FRICTION MATERIAL COMPLETELY MISSING . I CLEANED UP ALL SURFACES , APPLIED PROPER GREASE , AND INSTALLED NEW PADS BECAUSE ROTOR WAS IN USEABLE CONDITION BECAUSE I CAUGHT THE PROBLEM QUICKLY .

I WAS TOLD THERE WOULD BE NO CHANGE IN PERFORMANCE BY BOTH THE DEALER AND FCA. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN TWO ACCIDENTS NOW BECAUSE I ATTEMPTED TO EXECUTE A LEFT TURN AND EVEN THOUGH I WAS DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE SLUGGISHLY ROLLED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND THEN 2-3 SECONDS LATER, ACCELERATED RAPIDLY MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN LANE INTEGRITY WHILE NAVIGATING THE TURN. I GENERALLY DRIVE FAIRLY MODESTLY WHICH IS WHY THERE HAVE BEEN ONLY TWO LIFE-THREATENING INCIDENTS IN THE PAST 3 OR SO MONTHS THAT I HAVE HAD THE "UPDATE". REALISTICALLY THOUGH, THIS FORCED UPDATE HAS CHANGED THE NATURE OF THE TRUCK AND MADE IT ULTIMATELY MORE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. ALL OF THIS BEHAVIOR BEGAN AFTER THE NOTED RECALL.

LAST MONTH (DECEMBER 2019) ON A COLD DAY, I TRIED TO PUT DOWN THE DRIVER'S WINDOW IN 2016 RAM 1500. HOWEVER, THE WINDOW WAS FROZEN IN PLACE DUE TO AN OVERNIGHT SNOWSTORM. THE WINDOW DIDN'T MOVE AND I RELEASED THE BUTTON. THEN, WHILE PARKED IN A PUBLIC PARKING LOT, THE WINDOW WENT HALF WAY DOWN ON ITS OWN. I FOUND IT THIS WAY WHEN I RETURNED TO THE TRUCK. IT WENT UP WITH THE BUTTON AND I BEGAN MY TRIP HOME. DURING THIS TRIP HOME, WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND I HAD NOT TOUCHED THE BUTTON, THE WINDOW FELL COMPLETELY INTO DOOR. APPARENTLY THE WINDOW HAD COME APART FROM THE PLASTIC CLIPS HOLDING IT TO THE UP/DOWN MECHANISM. TODAY, JANUARY 9, 2020, ANOTHER COLD DAY, MY WIFE PRESSED THE BUTTON TO NUDGE THE PASSENGER WINDOW UP (IT WAS OPEN JUST A TAD) AND INSTEAD OF GOING UP, THE WINDOW DROPPED INTO THE HALF WAY POSITION. WE GOT IT UP WITH THE BUTTON AND IT'S NOW TAPED IN PLACE UNTIL THE GARAGE CAN GET TO IT. THIS WINDOW TOO APPEARS TO HAVE COME OFF THE LITTLE PLASTIC CLIPS HOLDING IT PLACE TODAY, I ALSO GOOGLE'D THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE DISCOVERED IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM ON 2016 RAM TRUCKS WITH PAGES OF POSTS IN MULTIPLE FORUMS BEGINNING IN 2017 OF OWNERS EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM WHEN ITS COLD. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN SEVERAL WEB ARTICLES DISCUSSING THE PROBLEM. SEVERAL OF THE POSTS INDICATE THAT FCA HAS HAD MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE FOR SEVERAL REASONS. FIRST, ITS NOT PARTICULARLY SAFE FOR PEOPLE TO BE DRIVING AROUND IN STORMS AND FREEZING WEATHER WITH WINDOWS THAT JUST DROP INTO THE DOOR AND WON'T COME BACK UP. SECOND, ITS NOT PARTICULARLY SAFE TO HAVE THE WINDOW IN YOUR VEHICLE OPEN ON ITS OWN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED. THIRD, TAPING THE WINDOWS IN PLACE (EVEN TEMPORARILY) COULD HURT EGRESS FROM THE VEHICLE IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY.

AFTER COMPLYING WITH THE V08 (AEM) SOFTWARE UPDATE DUE TO THE RAM ECODIESEL EMISSIONS UPDATE MY DRIVING EXPERIENCE/PERFORMANCE HAS CHANGED DRAMATICALLY. DURING ACCELERATION THEIR HAS BEEN ANYWHERE FROM 3-6 DELAY SECONDS BEFORE ADEQUATE POWER AND SPEED CAN BE FELT. THIS IS AT A FULL STOP SUCH AS A STOP SIN OR RED TRAFFIC LIGHT. DURING HIGHWAY TRAFFIC (PASSING) OR MERGING INTO A LANE IS WERE IS MOST NOTICEABLE. THIS FAILURE OCCURS EVEN WHEN ENGINE IS PROPERLY AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE AND IS WORSE RIGHT AFTER START UP. SINCE MULTIPLE PEOPLE USE THEIR TRUCKS FOR TOWING PURPOSES, THIS GREATLY INCREASES THE EFFECT AND EVEN FURTHER DECREASES THE PERFORMANCE THAT IS RELIED UPON. THE AEM SOFTWARE UPDATE SPECIFICALLY STATES "THE AEM IS NOT EXPECTED TO CHANGE ANY OF YOUR KEY VEHICLE ATTRIBUTES, SUCH AS AVERAGE FUEL ECONOMY, RELIABILITY, DURABILITY, VEHICLE PERFORMANCE, DRIVABILITY, ENGINE NOISE OR VIBRATION, OR OTHER DRIVING CHARACTERISTICS." THIS DIRECTLY CONTRADICTS THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REMEDY REQUIREMENTS. DUE TO THE FAILED INSTANT ACCELERATION AS WELL AS TAKING UP TO 3500 RPM BEFORE FORWARD MOVEMENT CAN BE ESTABLISHED IN SOME INSTANCES HAS LED ME TO FORMALLY CREATE AND RECORD A SAFETY CONCERN THAT REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. FAILURE TO DO SO PUTS OWNERS OF 2014-2016 RAM 1500'S THAT ARE AFFECTED BY THE AEM UPDATE AT RISK, NOT ONLY TO OURSELVES BUT TO THE OTHER DRIVERS AROUND US. BEFORE THIS UPDATE WAS CONDUCTED THERE WERE NO ENGINE/TRANSMISSION/PROPULSION RELATED ISSUES WHATSOEVER. LASTLY AS ANOTHER EFFECT BUT LESS IMPORTANT IS THE OBVIOUS DECREASE IN AND LOSS IN MPG. PLEASE HOLD FCA ACCOUNTABLE AND HAVE THEM ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BEFORE LIVES ARE FATALLY AFFECTED.

IT WAS JUST RECENTLY BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THERE WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS SENT OUT FOR THE 3.0 ECODIESEL TO CHANGE THE TYPE/SPECIFICATION OF OIL AND TO GO AGAINST WHAT THE OWNERS MANUAL STATES BECAUSE THE MANUAL IS WRONG. IT CALLS FOR AN OIL THAT IS TO LIGHT BREAKS DOWN MOLECULAR WEIGHT TOO QUICKLY AND TRUCKS AND JEEPS ALIKE EQUIPED WITH THE ECODIESEL HAVE BEEN HAVING CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO PREMATURE ENGINE WEAR ON INTERNAL COMPONENTS. IT IS RECOMMENDED TO PUT 5W40 IN INSTEAD. THIS IS FIRST AND FOREMOST TRUE I DID RESEARCH AND CONFIRMED THAT THE CHANGE WAS MADE BUT NEVER MADE PUBLIC TO THE OWNERS LIKE THE CURRENT CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS WAS. MANY OWNERS DON'T KNOW THIS CHANGE EXSISTED AND MANY OWNERS DON'T KNOW THAT THE DEALERSHIPS ARE STILL MAKING THIS ERROR AND CONTINUING TO FILL THE TRUCKS WITH 5W30 FOR OWNERS THAT COME IN FOR SERVICE. IF IT'S TO SAVE MONEY BY NOT THROWING AWAY ALREADY PURCHASED MERCHANDISE OR IGNORANCE I DON'T KNOW. BUT THIS IS HUGE BECAUSE NOW EVEN IF OWNERS CHANGE NOW THEY STILL HAVE POTENTIAL AND HIGHLY PROBABLE PERMANENT INTERNAL DAMAGE DONE TO THEIR ENGINE TAKING A DRASTIC AMOUNT OUT OF THE POSSIBLE LONGEVITY OF THE ENGINE AWAY, AND THE NEW OIL REQUIRED REDUCES FUEL ECONOMY FURTHERING THE FINANCIAL BURDEN OF THE OWNER THAT BOUGHT THE VEHICLE WITH A DIFFERENT FUEL ECONOMY ADVERTISED AND WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THEIR VEHICLE MAY NEVER LAST AS LONG AS THEY'RE HOPE BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE OF THE FCA TO IDENTIFY THIS AND MAKE IT PUBLIC. NOT TO MENTION THE DEALERSHIPS ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE ARTICLES CLAIM MECHANICS HAVE BEEN COMING FORWARD SAYING DEALERSHIPS ARE DRAINING ALL 5W30 ON UNSOLD VEHICLES AND REPLACING IT WITH 5W40. YET THEY REFUSE TO MAKE THIS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS TO THE PUBLIC SO WE CAN KNOW. WE DESERVE THE COMPENSATION FOR THE COSTS THAT MAY COME ABOUT BECAUSE OF THIS!!!

IN TWO MONTHS I HAVE HAD 3 CLOSE CALLS PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. EXTREMELY SCARY WHEN YOU HIT THE GAS AND NOTHING HAPPENS AND A CAR IS COMING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT YOU AT 55 MPH AND YOU'RE SECONDS FROM GETTING T-BONED. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE PEOPLE START DYING IN THIS DEATH TRAP. THE DIESEL HAD MANY PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY REPROGRAMED IT. SINCE NEW THE TRUCK HAS GONE INTO LIMP MODE 4 TIMES WHERE THE ENGINE LIGHTS COME ON AND THE MOTOR SHUTS DOWN TO ABOUT 10 MPG. LAST TIME I ALMOST GOT KILLED ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. YOU'RE STUCK ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 5-10 MPH TRYING TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY WHEN CARS ARE FLYING PAST YOU AT 70 MPH. THESE 3.0L DODGE ECO DIESELS ARE VERY, VERY, VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. AFTER THE REPROGRAMING FROM FCA THEY HAVE A VERY DANGEROUS TURBO LAG TIME. FCA HAS DONE NOTHING TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. THE REPROGRAMING OF THE SOFTWARE MADE THEM WORSE AND MORE DANGEROUS. BECAUSE OF THE WAY THEY DESIGNED THIS ECO DIESEL, IT IS PRONE TO CATCH FIRE. ON MY TRUCK I HAD A FIRE UNDER THE HOOD AND A HOLE MELTED THROUGH THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. LUCKILY, THE TRUCK DID NOT BURST INTO FLAMES BUT IT WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR ALMOST 3 WEEKS BEING REPAIRED.

I TOOK MY ECODIESEL TRUCK TO MY LOCAL FCA DEALERSHIP AND THEY INSTALLED THE APPROVED EMISSION MODIFICATION (AEM). AFTER I RECEIVED MY TRUCK BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP, THERE WAS A VERY NOTICEABLE INCREASED THROTTLE RESPONSE LAG FROM A STOP. AFTER APPLYING WIDE OPEN THROTTLE (WOT), THE TRUCK WOULD NOT RESPOND FOR 3-4 SECONDS. THE AEM SPECIFICALLY STATES THAT THE "PERFORMANCE" OF THE TRUCK WILL NOT BE IMPACTED; WHICH IS NOT WHAT I PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED. THE THROTTLE RESPONSE LAG POST-AEM INSTALL ALMOST GOT ME INTO TWO ACCIDENTS WHILE TRYING TO TAKE A RIGHT TURN ONTO A HIGHWAY. THIS EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED BY OTHER ECODIESEL OWNERS ON INTERNET FORUMS AND VIA YOUTUBE VIDEOS DEMONSTRATING THIS SAFETY ISSUE. FCA FAILED TO DISCLOSE THIS THROTTLE RESPONSE ISSUE; AS A RESULT THEY HAVE CREATED A SAFETY CONCERN FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS, TO INCLUDE MYSELF, POST-AEM INSTALL. I PULLED OUT THE DEALERSHIP LOT EXPECTING A CERTAIN LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE FROM THE TRUCK I KNOW EXTREMELY WELL, BUT WAS QUICKLY SURPRISED TO FIND MYSELF IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION DUE TO THE THROTTLE LAG.

TOOK THE TRUCK TO A LOCAL SHOP AND THE MECHANIC POINTED OUT TO ME THE DRIVESHAFT WAS WOBBLING A LITTLE WHEN HE HAD THE TRUCK ON THE LIFT. TOOK THE TRUCK TO TWO DIFFERENT DODGE DEALERS ABOUT THE ISSUE, THE FIRST DEALER TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. SO I WENT ON A TEST DRIVE WITH THEM AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE NOTICED THE VIBRATION I WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT. LONG STORY SHORT THEY TOLD ME MY TIRES(ONLY 25,000 MILES) WERE BAD AND I SHOULD REPLACE THEM, GET AN ALIGNMENT AND THE PROBLEM WOULD BE SOLVED. SO I DID JUST THAT AND THE VIBRATION OF THE WHOLE BED WAS STILL THERE, THEY REBALANCED THE TIRES AND THE VIBRATION WAS STILL PRESENT. AFTER GOING TO THIS DEALER FOR THE THIRD TIME THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BECAUSE THEY CHECKED EVERYTHING INCLUDING THE DRIVESHAFT AND NOTHING WAS WRONG AT ALL. A COUPLE WEEKS LATER I GO TO ANOTHER DODGE DEALER ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE, AND IT'S THE SAME RESPONSE "WE CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM".

WELL I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK FOR 2 DAYS NOW AND I'VE NOTICED A DECREASE OF ALMOST 2 MPG WHICH I KIND OF EXPECTED UNLIKE HIS CLAIM OF IMPROVED MPG. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT NOW WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP IT TAKES ALMOST 7 SECONDS FOR THROTTLE RESPONSE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IN MY OPINION! I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS TRUCK FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS NOW AND HAVE NEVER HAD SINGLE PROBLEM. I UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE TURBO DIESEL HAS A LITTLE BIT OF LAG TIME FOR THE TURBO TO SPOOL UP BUT NOW IT TAKES ALMOST 7 SECONDS TO GET RESPONSE OF THROTTLE!!

I WISH I HAD NEVER HAD THIS PERFORMED NOW BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN THOROUGHLY IMPRESSED WITH THIS VEHICLE IN EVERY ASPECT UNTIL NOW.

THIS VIBRATION FEELS LIKE IT COULD BE THE DRIVESHAFT OR TRANSMISSION.

I WAS BACKING OUT OF GARAGE AND WENT TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT SLOWING THE VEHICLE. PUMPED THE BRAKES A SECOND TIME AND THE PEDAL AGAIN WENT TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT SLOWING THE VEHICLE. PUMPED THE BRAKE PEDAL A THIRD TIME AND THE PEDAL DID NOT GO TO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKES SLOWED THE VEHICLE ENOUGH SO THAT IT COULD BE PUT IN PARK. UPON BRAKE INSPECTION, THE FRICTION MATERIAL SEPARATED FROM THE BACKING PLATE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR INNER BRAKE PAD AND FELL OFF THE VEHICLE. THIS CAUSED THE BRAKES TO BE INOPERABLE FOR THE FIRST TWO APPLICATIONS OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AS THE BRAKE SYSTEM FLUID AND CALIPERS HAD TO MAKE UP THE MISSING SPACE OF THE MISSING FRICTION MATERIAL. MY BRAKE PADS HAD OVER 60% OF THEIR MATERIAL REMAINING SO IT IS NOT A MAINTENANCE ISSUE. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT CAUSED PREMATURE FAILURE. IF I WERE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND THIS FAILURE OCCURRED, I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD ADEQUATE BRAKES AND WOULD HAVE GOTTEN INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED.

BEGINNING IN JANUARY OF 2019 WHEN TEMPERATURES WERE SUB ZERO THE PICKUP'S AIR SUSPENSION WOULD FAIL TO INFLATE FULLY (OR AT ALL) RESULTING IN HAVING TO DRIVE WITH LITTLE TO NO SUSPENSION.

I WAS TOLD THAT THE LOCAL REP WOULD FOLLOW UP ON THE STATUS AND NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD BACK FROM HIM EITHER. I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH THE CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE CASE MANAGERS AND THEY CAN NOT EVEN GET AN ETA FOR THE PART. THE TRUCK ALSO NEEDS (2) RECALLS CORRECTED AS WELL.

ODI #11031826ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES

THE OEM TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER DOES NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH BRAKING POWER TO A TOWED TRAILER. THE TOWED SINGLE AXLE TRAVEL TRAILER WEIGHS JUST UNDER 4,000LBS FULLY LOADED. ALL GAIN AND TRAILER TYPE SETTINGS ON THE CONTROLLER PRODUCE THE SAME LEVEL OF BRAKING TO THE TRAILER AT ANY SPEED FROM IDLE TO 25-30MPH OR FASTER WHEN USING THE MANUAL BRAKE LEVER ON THE CONTROLLER. FACTORY OWNER'S MANUAL DESCRIBES THE PROCESS FOR SETTING THE GAIN IS TO MOVE THE MANUAL BRAKE LEVER TO FULL BRAKING SO THE WHEELS ON THE TOWED TRAILER LOCK UP AT 25MPH AND THEN REDUCE THE GAIN UNTIL JUST BEFORE TRAILER WHEELS LOCK UP. RAM DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THE CONTROLLER WILL NOT LOCK UP THE TRAILER WHEELS WITH THE MANUAL BRAKE LEVER BECAUSE THE COMPUTER READS THE SPEED OF THE TRUCK, AND IF FULL BRAKING ISN'T NEEDED, IT WON'T APPLY IT. THIS IS IN DIRECT CONTRADICTION WITH THE INFORMATION IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. THE OEM BRAKE CONTROLLER IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY, AND THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE TRAILER BRAKES ARE NOT GETTING THE PROPER AMOUNT OF POWER TO SAFELY STOP THE VEHICLE WHILE TOWING. THE CONTROLLER WILL BARELY SEND ENOUGH BRAKING POWER TO SLOW AND STOP THE VEHICLE AT IDLE ROLLING SPEEDS OF 5-10MPH.

BY THE TIME I COULD JUMP FROM THE TONGUE OF THE TRAILER, CLIMB ON THE DOCK, DIVE INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW, CRAWL ACROSS TO THE DRIVERS SEAT AND TRY TO STOP AND START THE TRUCK, IT WAS TOO LATE. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START AND I COULD NOT STOP IT BECAUSE IT WAS BEGINNING TO FLOAT. THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS INTO THE LAKE, DESPITE BEING IN PARK.

ON THE FIRST OCCASION, I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK FROM DRIVE, AND AS I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE AFTER IT WAS IN PARK, THE TRANSMISSION MOVED BACK TO DRIVE. LUCKILY, MY FOOT WAS STILL HOVERING OVER THE BRAKE AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK. ON THE SECOND OCCASION, AS I WAS PLACING THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK FROM DRIVE, I PLACED IT INTO PARK, HEARD THE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGE, AND SIMULTANEOUSLY REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE. AGAIN, IT JUMPED BACK INTO DRIVE, BUT MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. ONE THING TO ADD CONCERNING THE PLACEMENT AS TOO CLOSE TO THE A/C FAN CONTROL, I ACTUALLY REACHED OVER AS TURNING TO OPEN MY DOOR AND TURNED THE A/C FAN TO THE LEFT (OFF) WHICH IS THE SAME DIRECTION AS PLACING THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK FROM DRIVE. IT DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT AND I LOOKED AND REALIZED I WAS CONTROLLING THE A/C.

AFTER ENGAGING THE VEHICLE IN PARK, OPENING THE DRIVER'S DOOR AND STEPPING OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE, IT ROLLED FORWARD CRASHING INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE SOME 30 FEET AHEAD. THE INITIAL POSITION OF THE VEHICLE WAS OUTSIDE A LARGE COMMERCIAL GARAGE. WHEN THE VEHICLE BECAME DISENGAGED FROM PARK, IT ROLLED FORWARD THROUGH THE GARAGE DOORS AND INTO THE GARAGE SPACE UNTIL CRASHING INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE (PARKED). AFTER REALIZING THE VEHICLE HAD DROPPED OUT OF PARK AND WAS MOVING FORWARD, I TRIED TO JUMP BACK INTO THE CAB TO APPLY THE BRAKES.

THE MAIN SCREEN ON THE DASH PROMPTED TO SHIFT INTO PARK (THE TRUCK WAS TRAVELING AT 65 MPH AT THE TIME) TO RESTART THE TRUCK.

The blue line shows 1461 total NHTSA complaints filed over 11 years, with the worst year being 2019 (231 complaints, including 9 crash reports).

The amber reliability line averaged 10/100 across the vehicle's life — dropping as low as 10 in 2016 when complaint severity peaked.

The recalls (red dashed lines) followed the first complaints by 1 year — a typical response window; neither unusually fast nor a pattern of denial.

Red dots on the amber line flag 11 years (2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026) where complaints included crash events — these are the highest-severity incidents in the dataset.
