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.

ABS module broken and wheels spin when accelarating. This is not safe to drive

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.

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.

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

The power assist has gone out. It became very hard to drive the truck. I was coming home from work when it happened. It’s obviously a danger to cause an accident, it’s very difficult to steer the truck. It has not been to the dealer or mechanic yet. There were no warning lamps or messages prior to the incident. Yes it is available for inspection upon request. The problem continues today.

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, so I have had my vehicle in the shop for over 2 weeks due to a failure toner wheel and even though there is a extention recall for my vehicle there not covering it even after telling fca and the dealer about the issues. There saying they won't be able to reimburse me even though I just bought the truck through carvana about 5 months ago and haven't even driven it over 4k miles.

My Truck has less than 60,000 miles have paid for the extended warranty and now have a infamous ABS module failure which is very dangerous because now My Truck is my only source of transportation and being a senior citizen. This is a hazard for my only vehicle that I have. I have done my research and there are tons of complaints for this issue and it has not became a recall, which is very alarming and to top it off. I have always taken in the truck for Service to have it checked, and the dealer has never checked it and now that there’s no warranty now they say it is an issue so I need this to be fixed . This does also affect the driving of the vehicle and the stability and top of all the alarming issues on my dashboard. I am also the original owner of this vehicle.

My 2016 Ram 1500 (4th‑gen) has a severely rusted and failed front fuel tank strap bracket, causing the tank to sag. This matches the defect described in Recall U04 / NHTSA 18V‑160 for 2009–2012 Ram 1500 trucks, but my VIN is not included. I believe the same safety defect affects ALL rust belt 4th‑gen Ram 1500s and request that NHTSA investigate expanding the recall’s model‑year coverage.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the ABS system module failure warning light illuminated. The brakes, traction control, and power steering failed, and the speedometer ceased to display on the instrument panel. The electronic throttle control warning light also illuminated, causing the vehicle to fail to shift out of park. After turning off the vehicle for several hours, the contact was able to restart the vehicle and shift out of park. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with ABS module failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500.

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.

The ABS control module has faulted and the ABS, Traction Control, and Cruise Control are off making them all inoperable, even though the truck is still able to be drive, albeit unsafely. There is a national backorder of parts and the units are no longer being manufactured.

ABS Module failure, Brake warning light on, ABS warning light on and unable to use cruise control

ABS System failed when making a right hand turn. It cause my truck to fishtail into on coming traffic and wind up on the other side of the road going the opposite direction. We have not been to a dealership yet. Scared to drive it again. The traction control light and ABS light and brake lights are on all the time. No other warnings.The lights were on when I purchased the truck.

My truck lost power steering while driving, a red flashing light came on saying power steering, pulled off and could not turn wheel. Managed to get it to a shop close by and upon scan for codes it came up C2217-00 electric power steering and shop verified that my truck came up with a recall regarding this same issue but when I called a dodge dealership they said I had no open recalls yet needed to get it to their shop for their diagnostic.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The vehicle was repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000 (FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL). The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed after the vehicle was picked up from the dealer, the engine warning light illuminated. While driving a short distance later, two unknown warning lights illuminated, and the message “Exhaust Filter 100% FULL - Safely Drive at Highway Speeds” was displayed. After exiting the freeway, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the left engine manifold, catalytic converter, and the air intake had failed. The vehicle remained at the dealer unrepaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000 (FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL). The contact stated that since the remedy was not available when the recall was issued, the delay created additional damages to the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the recall repairs were already completed. No assistance was provided. However, a claim was filed with the manufacturer. The failure mileage was approximately 204,000.

The ABS warning light is on. I took the vehicle to the dealership, and they advised that it is safe to continue driving.

Known issue with the abs module causing brake problems no abs no traction control very dangerous to drive especially in wet/slippery conditions

Air suspension no good causes bad steering/control of truck very dangerous

The drivers side seat belt is very difficult to latch.

My abs, traction control, trailer brake lights are on. Error code C2200-49. What is worse; there are no parts! As I tow a camper it is a serious issue! I cannot understand why this issue is common with this vehicle but ram doesn’t have remedy. (Rebuild option or shock- have someone make spare parts for it) I will be forced to fix it myself with junk yard parts. Why is it so hard to get competent designers when the trucks have been made for 20 years or more. If they would standardize more on parts and quit changing things every year maybe we could get better and safer vehicles. And spare parts may be easier to get.

k my abs and traction control and brake light came on my truck has 86k miles well took it and got it scanned said abs control module internal short so went on line to order one on back order and no date when available so went to dealer and they said no can’t get one nationwide back order so now my trucks brakes are not safe and i contacted ram with no response so idk wat to do and i thought car manufacturers had to keep parts available for so many years and the part i need also fits newer ones also so it should be available instead every time i have to drive it’s possible to not be able to stop without sliding i would jus trade it in but will be a loss because of the brakes and all the lights on also i purchased this truck new

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. I have provided all the documentation I have according to my knowledge, and can provide more if need be.

On September 29, 2025, my vehicle overheated. Smoke was coming from the interior vents as well as from under the hood. I pulled over shortly after and had my vehicle towed to a repair shop. I got an estimate for radiator repair. That did not fix the issue, so more repair was needed related to a heating and evaporator core. I have attached the invoices for those repairs. I just wanted to note this for my records.

-My ABS module failed over a year ago and is available for inspection. -My ABS, anti-lock, cruise control does not work. -The problem has been confirmed by a dealer and dealer said the part is no longer available. -The component has been inspected by a dealer. -There were warning lights when it failed and they have been on ever since.

ABS Module failure, Anti-Lock Brake system failure.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 20-30 MPH, the steering wheel jerked to the left. Additionally, while making a turn, the steering wheel jerked to the opposite direction. The contact stated that the failure recurred on several occasions. The message "Check Power Steering" was displayed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the contact borrowed a screwdriver to access the power steering electrical wires. The contact discovered that the power steering wiring and electrical plug wiring were burned and melted. The contact purchased a new rack and pinion, but had become aware that the rack and pinion replacement would not repair the vehicle due to the burned electrical wiring. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V167000 (Steering); however, the VIN was not included. The dealer and the manufacturer were not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.

My abs module has an error code and I can't find the part I need.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Factory Air Suspension on 2016 RAM Rebel V8 5.7L Right Front broken elbow How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The right front broken elbow is causing my entire rear end of truck to sag to near ground level, leaving the front up high. It is making for dangerous driving condition not only for the driver, but for others as well. Truck bottoms out on the slight bump on the highway making for unstable driving, front head light up high cause issues for other drivers in front of me. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. Confirmed at Jim Click RAM, Tucson Auto mall , Tucson AZ. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? The vehicle has only been inspected by the dealership, but I am ready to go to my attorney, to get this fixed the right way. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? This broken $10 part (elbow) is causing the computer system to list multiple error codes for the air suspension. The dealership is telling me they cannot find the part anywhere in the United States and is on back order. They refuse to use a third party part and it must be an official Mopar part or they will not fix my vehiclle. Meanwhile I have to drive to work every morning and this broken air suspension will eventually damage the rest of my vehicle the longer it waits to be repaired the right way. Like I said above I am ready to sit with my attorney to discuss the matter and to track the progress for resolving this issue.

ABS warning light. Light came on in July 2025. Local repair shops could not fix said there are no parts available. Took truck to Ram dealer in December 2025.They state ABS MODULE is bad along with HCU hydraulic control unit. Followed up 4 times on what the hold up is. They state waiting on parts and keep reponsonding the same. I called the Ram national customer service as directed on 1/22/2026. They said they would get right on the issue. I got a response about 5 days later. They said they are still trying to find the parts. I checked again around February 3rd. Got the same response. I checked several chat rooms about the issue and there were a lot with the same model year. This is a big safety issue as brakes lock up and or it takes longer to stop the Truck. Please look into this matter. Thanks

When putting on seat belt it won't stay secured, you have to constantly insert seat belt for it to stay, there's something wrong with it.

Fuel tank strap snapped off frame

Reversing in our driveway, backing in with the trailer to store it. Backing up hill, the truck stopped moving. I applied additional pressure to the accelerator to get the truck moving again. The truck lurched backward suddenly enough that the rear tires broke traction loudly. Before I could stop the truck, the trailer struck the corner of the house, causing significant damage.

I recently purchased this 2016 RAM 1500 from a family member. I was driving at highway speeds between 60-80 MPH in heavy rush hour traffic. The vehicle suddenly lost power & died at highway speeds. I was in the middle lane & almost crashed to the vehicle to my left & from behind as I intended to swerve to the median. Upon calling the dodge dealer from the side of the road, they confirmed that they had no available appointments to diagnose the issue for days, I had no control of the situation as i was stranded on the side of the road and needed to get the vehicle fixed, upon tow the the nearest diesel repair shop, it was diagnosed as a high pressure fuel pump and fixed at and out of pocket cost of $792.13. I was not aware this vehicle had an open recall (z46) as i just purchased it. 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. The claim was denied due to the fact that the work was not done at a certified RAM shop. I explained the circumstances to the case manager via email correspondence as this is the ONLY way they contact you to no outcome and a denial. . I was finally able to get an appointment with ram where the recall was fully addressed on there side. Mopar still refuses to cover the out of pocket expense even after I took it the dealership to get the recall done the way they requested it to be done.

ABS unit failed. This renders the Traction control system, ABS braking, cruise control, and 4WD system inert. I tried to repair/replace the unit it is on indefinite backorder, and repair shops cannot get the parts to fix the actual unit. Makes vehicle dangerous to drive in all but fair conditions. No solution has been provided by RAM.

Power steering quit while driving. Electric Power Steering unit faulty from factory.

ABS module needs replacing. Part on Backorder for a year, won't be available till July 2026. RAM is offers no alternative. 3rd party vendors are saying the computer chip controlling the module has been discontinued by its maker, and in reality, there are no more new modules being produced. Car has no ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, STABILITY CONTROL.

Starting in October 2025 at about 131700 miles and continuing into Jan 2026 my 2016 Ram Eco Diesel would periodically loose power steering capabilities . First time it did it no malfunctioning indicator lights ! I did my due diligence and took it in to selling dealer to look into it. I attached invoice where they say nothing found and they had it a week! . Shortly after getting back from dealer , pwr str loss again. Repeated about twice a month. Usually happened after highway speeds when decreasing speeds or at start up. Once I got going, steering would engage correctly. In December , a ( SERVICE POWER STEERING! ) message did light up. Since dealer in my opinion gave me the old “heave hoe” in October and November about this issue, I made appt with independent mechanic shop. They diagnosed I needed new rack and pinion assembly in just one day! Repaired on 1/12/26 at 132817 miles. I do have truck back and it is performing fine. I have owned it since May of 2019 . This truck was built in June of 2016 in Michigan! Thank goodness I had access to other vehicles to drive during this issue. Had I been in bad weather or icy roads , I would not have been able to control vehicle!!! I do feel this Eco should be part of the electronic power steering recall!!!

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and hauling a travel trailer, the ABS warning light illuminated, and the trailer brakes became inoperable. The contact stated that the trailer's brake functions failed to function properly, and that the trailer's emergency brakes needed to be engaged to stop the trailer. The contact stated that the failure nearly caused a crash with another vehicle, making the vehicle unsafe to drive. The dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.

The ABS module failed causing the cruise control, ABS, and traction control systems to become inoperable.

Recall for intake manifold for our ecodiesel 2016 Ram and you do not show a recall for our specific truck. Which, GM service has verified we need to replace the intake manifold. Hesitation, drag, engine light, etc...

Upon start get dash message "Service Electronic Braking System". When that goes away I'm left with these lights: ABS , Antilock system symbol, and BRAKE. As a result of this I have NO CRUISE CONTROL as well. Took the vehicle to Johnson Dodge dealership in Budd Lake, NJ. They told me the ABS modules are on back order for a year. Also that the replacement parts have been DISCONTINUED BY DODGE. No ETA available. I travel mostly hightway without ABS or cruise control. I worry about decreased stopping distance constantly. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DEADLY THREAT TO ME AND PASSENGERS. The internet is full of complaints for the same problem.

Power steering fails as the “ Service Power Steering” & the steering wheel with exclamation mark lights up. It’s most common during temperatures of 70 degrees or less. Power steering comes back after engine is warmed up for approximately 5 minutes before needing to drive it.

The front gas tank strap mount on the frame rusted to the point the new one I purchased falls out of the frame. Some Rams have the recall applied mine shows zero. I have a strap to hold the tank up temporarily but I need a permanent fix.

The ABS control module and pump failed. ABS Light, Traction / Stabilitrak light / Brake Light on Vehicle was diagnosed by the dealership Dec 16, 2022 was given quote to repair but the parts were not available and back ordered. Been reaching out since to have truck repaired multiple dealerships but ABS module is not available no ETA been driving vehicle as is Currently ABS module is still not available no ETA now and vehicle is rendered in operable due to the ABS Module failure There have been multiple complaints of this issue, yet nothing is being done.

The 3.0 eco diesel has a known defect involving the oil pickup tube clogging up with soot and diesel particles which then causes catastrophic damage to the engine and they blow up due to engine bearing failure which could lead to a safety issue while operating the vehicle on the roadways there are numerous videos online regarding this issue and it needs address and mopar needs to correct this and recall all the trucks and replace the engines and redesign the oil pickup tube to prevent the oil pickup tube from clogging up it’s unfair to the owners of the trucks and so many of the trucks are being scrapped due to the engine failure issues new engines cost $11-$18,000 to replace

Electric Power Steering has stopped working completely. A service Power steering warning has popped up on the dashboard.

ABS MODULE 68295368-AC failed. Prevents anti-locking brakes to function. Only have hydraulic brakes which will allow the vehicle to go into a skid. Does not allow the cruise control to function. This part has been on back order from my dealer since February 25, 2025. I have checked on the statis and have been told they are not even allowed to place any more requests for new customers with this same defected abs module. There is no after market part available for this model. Only option is to spin the wheel and hope for a working part from a salvage yard. There were recalls for previous models and later models. There are thousands of us, if not more with this problem. When will Stellantis be held accountable and get us the required part. With warning lights on the dash board for brake and traction control, there is little value to try and sell or trade my Ram 1500. Who would by it? With the defective abs module not only am I at risk, but other vehicles on the road could be endangered.

cruise control difficult to set sometimes. When set, cancel button does not shut cruise control off.Truck continues to keep speed rate going. This has been a continual problem from purchase.

ABS Module tested by independent service to be defective. ABS, antiskid and brake lights all on. Cruise control disabled. Available for inspection. No “incident” has occurred other than having no antiskid function which poses a risk in wet conditions as well as fatigue issues on long drives with no cruise control! ABS Module has been on manufacturer nationwide back order for over 2 years with no end in sight and no alternate resolution offered. Unit was under 3rd party warranty initially but it’s been so long it is now not covered.

failure of ABS control module. This disables anti lock brake system,traction control & cruise control. There are hundreds of this modules on back order. Not one of parts suppliers have this part & do not know when they will be available. I reached out to corporate & they don't either

The common hemi tech where lifter bearing seize up and eats the come. So common you can buy top end rebuild kits just for tha reason.

My Ram truck ( with extended manufacturer's warranty) has a faulty ABS module which has resulted in not having the ABS safety feature. In addition, this failed module renders speed control inoperative, thus increasing fatigue on long trips. The diagnosis was from July 29, 2025 by a Sulphur Springs dealer [very nice folks]. I have reached out to them several times and was told the part is still on backorder, with no ETA provided. I am hearing that this is a widespread problem, and it seems that we need to bring NHTSA to bear on the manufacturer… ?

5 MONTHS SINCE ABS MODULE FAILURE. NO ABS, RENDERING VEHICLE ILLEGAL TO OPERATE. SAME ISSUE WITH NEWER VEHICLES BUT MY YEAR NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL NOR ARE THERE PARTS AVAILABLE TO REPAIR ON MY OWN. LAW STATES 10YRS PARTS AVAILABILITY WHICH I BELIEVE IS WHAY THEY ARE HOLDING OUT TO NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS MASIVE ISSUE. THE PROBLEM IS NEGLIGENCE. SENSITIVE COMPONENT IN AREA PRONE TO WATER AND SO PHYSICAL SEAL PROTECTING PARTS.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while attempting to make a left turn, the vehicle lost power steering functionality. The message "Service Power Steering Unit" was displayed. The contact stated that the failure had occurred on two different occasions. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed and determined that the steering rack and pinion needed to be replaced. No further information was available. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 200,000.

The ABS system and cruise control are currently inoperative. The ABS module has been diagnosed as faulty, but the replacement part from Chrysler is on a year-long backorder

The ABS module has had an internal failure for a couple of years now, and since it had just over 50,000 miles on it, the code in the ABS is C2200-49, it turns off traction control and makes the Ram 1500, unsafe to drive, you guys made them do a recall for the ram 2500, and ram 3500, for the same part, it's time to make them step up and stand behind their ram 1500, also! Braking systems are very important to the public, and you obviously have enough proof that there is a problem, and this system fails so often, it is impossible for me to even find a replacement part, it's on impossible back order, which also proves the part is defective, in the 2013-2018, I believe. Please help, these things are thousands of dollars for the replacement part, and they fail so often, I can't even get one.

ABS control modules are all out of stock, everywhere. This issue is becoming more and more common. I cannot replace the module or have it rebuilt because of a chip shortage, and I do not have ABS on my truck anymore.

The tailgate on my 2016 Dodge Ram will not stay locked and falls open during cold weather. I've contacted the dealer but they said this particular vin is not included in a recall. I've accessed the inside panel on the tailgate several times to clean and lubricate, but it only works for a short time. It's been a continuous problem for the last 5 to 6 years...only when it is cold.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while in reverse (R) and moving at approximately 4 MPH, the steering wheel had frozen, and he was not able to turn the wheel. The contact stated that he had crashed into his other vehicle. The contact stated that the front end of the other vehicle was not damaged; however, the vehicle he was driving in had damage to the bumper and tailgate. The contact stated that the traction warning light had illuminated after the crash. The contact stated that his insurance company had the vehicle towed to a collision shop. The contact was advised by the collision shop that, before he could get the collision damage repaired, the power steering failure needed to be repaired. The contact stated that he had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the power steering assist had failed, and he needed to take the vehicle to a dealer. The contact had the vehicle towed to a dealer, however, the vehicle was not yet diagnosed and was not repaired. The contact had researched online and related the failure to an open NHTSA Action Number: RQ23003 (Steering). The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 88,000.

Steering wheel locks up when cold

Went to start my truck and it wouldnt start. Connected a jumper box to it to start it and started right up. Check engine light came on and showed "Code P1DF3". My safety was at risk due to not being able to get back home due to this issue. This fault has been reported by others with the ram 1500.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The vehicle was serviced under NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V632000 (AIR BAGS), but the failure occurred. The inflator end cap failed in September 2024 and failed again in February 2025. Most recently, the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the ABS warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the code was cleared; however, the failure persisted. The dealer retrieved a fault code for "Failure to Communicate with ABS Module". The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer informed the contact that parts were not available to repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle unexpectedly sputtered and then lost motive power, with several unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, but was not diagnosed. The mechanic stated that an error code was present, but had not provided the code to the contact. The contact was referred to the dealer for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired at that time. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the crankshaft position sensor tone wheel had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V475000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The approximate failure mileage was 216,000.

Vehicle displayed ABS warning light and message to service electronic braking system. Took to Ram dealer August 2025 and vehicle was diagnosed with faulty ABS module. Service advised that the part was unavailable due to a national shortage for a known ABS module failure problem. Was told to continue driving vehicle because it was safe to operate. Subsequent, related problems presented over following three months: loss of traction control, speedometer failure, odometer failure, brakes failing to release when shifted into drive, and most concerning, loss of power steering while driving on a wet curve that caused loss of vehicle control not resulting in a crash. Three vehicle occupants were left very scared at the unexpected loss of vehicle control. Called dealership November 2025 after loss of control episode and was told the ABS module part was still unavailable. I fear the vehicle will kill us if driven and we encounter an emergency situation. The ABS module failure in this 2016 Ram 1500 model is well documented in public records and was confirmed to me by an authorized dealer.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that upon taking the vehicle for the State Inspection, the contact's son was informed that the vehicle failed to pass due to the ABS. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed and determined that the ABS module had failed. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost and due to the part being on backorder. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

Service power steering light comes on and steering wheel doesn’t move when car is cold. Turn car off and restart and is fine with no lights.

2016 Ram 1500. Abs system malfunction. Brakes lock up randomly. Abs, brake light, traction control light come on randomly causing brake issues. Very dangerous. Called multiple dealerships. No control module available. No date for part to be available. This is huge safety issue and Ram/fiat are not seeming to care. No sense of urgency from any of the dealerships or manufacturer. Lawsuit could be happening sense this is huge safety problem. Code c2200-49

The service airbag system keeps alerting me. Some vehicles have been recalled but my vehicle has not been recalled and I would like that to be taken care of.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving 55-60 MPH, the ABS warning light was illuminated, and the contact decelerated to 40 MPH and drove a mile. The contact stated that the passenger's side front end made an abnormal sound and collapsed, and the contact was able to coast to the side of the road. The contact then noticed that the front passenger's side tire had detached, the brake lines were leaking, and the front axle was fractured. And there was fire underneath the passenger's side front end of the vehicle. The fire was extinguished by the fire department. It was unknown whether a fire department report was filed. The police officers arrived at the scene, but it was unknown whether a report was filed. The vehicle was pulled to James Towing mechanic shop, where it was diagnosed that the front passenger's side wheel bearing had failed and caused the wheel to detach. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 185,000.

I was attempting to make a left hand turn when my power steering failed. Continued to be out for several more minutes of driving and then it restored itself. Has not been a problem while driving the vehicle today.

I first started having issues with the “brake” light illuminating in dash, service electronic braking system, service abs, service trailer braking system (no trailer hooked up) around 8/20/25. I had it check out by a mechanic on 8/28/2025 and he confirmed that the ABS module was bad. DTC C2200-49 stored in ABS module. Inspected wiring and connections and found no issues. I have contacted RAM about the incident. There is a recall on other RAM trucks the same year model but not this one. I have a failed component.

I have a 2016 dodge 1500 hemi 5.7. The chrysler dealership diagnose that the abs module was bad. these abs modules are very rare to find. messages were abs light, check engine light, traction light and speedometer stop working. Thanks for your attention in this matter.

2016 Dodge Ram 1500 truck apparently this is a known issue and the module to fix the antilock brake is impossible to get. I have been researching this and I have thus far not only my year make and model truck but other Dodge trucks with the same failure and not able to get the module. The Dodge Dearler in Hayesville NC ordered this part and I call frequently to inquire as to its arrival. this is a safely issue that need to be addressed

FAULTY ABS MODULE THAT EVEN THE DEALER SAYS THEY CAN'T GET. IT HAS ENABLED THE ABS from working as should.

Warning lamps abs, traction, and brake light

Power steering seems to have a defect. There have been other Dodge Rams affected by a power steering recall. When we called our local Dodge service provider they stated that our VIN was not affected by this recall, but there is definitely something wrong with our power steering. It’s very difficult to turn the vehicle and doesn’t seem safe to drive.

the ABS and traction control / lights flashing and now makes it feel unsafe

Internal abs malfunction, diagnostic code c220-49 vehichle is available for inspection upon request, abs module is a major safety risk as it highly increases the chance of an mva due to a brake system failure endangering many other drivers as these pickups are very common, problem has been confirmed by dealer, dealer told me that they are aware of many other vehicles with the same diagnostic code I have and that parts are on backorder with no eta whatsoever. Parking brake,abs,traction control lights are all on, cruise control has not worked as well ever since abs module went out, first appeared 09/01/2025

I bought this vehicle used and have had nothing but issues with the factory OEM Air Ride Suspension. 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 is a safety problem and is a serious issue as there’s thousands of these vehicles with this suspension system having issues. Dodge is completely aware of it and it needs to be on them, not the consumer.

On 10/21/2025, my ABS module failed. This failure caused my brakes to fully apply on their own while entering interstate traffic. The brakes will fully apply due to ABS pump intermittently kicking in. This part has no availability to repair. Chrysler/FCA/Mopar/Stellantis/RAM no help with this issue. I was able to safely pull over and have vehicle towed to my shop and diagnosed. This is a common issue and with no parts available to repair, I am going to be without my truck.

At 90,000 miles ABS, traction control and brake light came on, mechanic said it’s a defective ABS module, and that there are none available anywhere, it’s under engineering review. This is a known issue, and now a recall for 2017 and above, my Ram is a 2016, same part. This poses a safety risk as the brakes can lock up, causing an accident. It’s going on 2 years with still no modules available

The ABS module has gone out in the truck. Ram has no replacements available for the part. The part number is 68295368AC

ABS module witch affects anti breaking system and i have no traction control can’t hard stop on wet or snowy conditions all it does is slide depending on speed is how far it slides and the rear end slides on take off on wet or snowy weather anti breaking system traction control and brake light is on in dash and license mechanic said it was ABS Module the mechanic stated all ram trucks around this year it goes out.

The ABS module on my vehicle has failed. A factory replacement part is not available and according to Stellantis, it is on back-order. The problem is that is has been on back-order/development for over 2 years. You can't even get a rebuild unit. The only option is a used part. This is unacceptable on a vehicle that cost $65K new and is less than ten years old. We need a resolution.

2016 Ram 1500 Express, 5.7L, 65K miles. The ABS, Traction Control, Break lights are on. This also impacts the Cruise Control making them all inoperable, even though the truck is still able to be drive, albeit unsafely. I took it to my local repair shop and was told the ABS Controle Module, part number 68228991AD was identified as bad (Code C2200-49) and in need of replacing at approximately $2000 and that the part is on indefinite backorder. I tried to locate the part on my own and there is in fact a nationwide backorder. After further investigation, I found multiple owners on Ram forums either having or have had the same problems. On one parts website, I found this message regarding the part: PART ON HOLD UNTIL ENGINEERING REVIEW IS COMPLETE, EXP - MAR 20TH, 2025.

The ABS module has failed. As such, the anti-lock brakes, nor the electronic brakes for braking a trailer do not work. This is a safety hazard as when towing you might not be able to stop in time to avoid an accident. I tried to get this fixed at a RAM dealership, but was informed this item has been on backorder for over 1.5 years and there are several other customers waiting for this part. So, I escalated at RAM and the escalation representative replied stating that they are waiting for production approval. They have been waiting on production approval for over 1.5 years for this safety issue. What is going to take, someone getting seriously injured or killed to get RAM to provide this safety item? As I mentioned, RAM is aware of this issue, but are not doing what it takes to address. It would be great if you can put pressure on RAM to make this safety item a priority. Also, it would be great if it came in form of a recall, but being able to get this part so that I can safely operate my vehicle is my main priority. Anything that you can do in addressing this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Loss of steering, good this I parked and back up and loss power

Passenger side axle half shaft has separated. There is a recall (Safety Recall S32) currently on 2016 Ram 1500 4WD manufactured between February 19, 2016, and March 3, 2016. This vehicle was manufactured March 8, 2016. It is too coincidental that I am having the same issue as described in the recall information. I have contacted FCA via phone and was told their was nothing that could be done because the vehicle in service date was 3/28/2016. I would like this investigated further to determine if my and other trucks should be included in this recall.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked, the contact attempted to drive to exit the residence, and the vehicle became difficult to maneuver. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle remained at the residence. A dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed. The contact researched and was became aware of an unknown recall; however, the VIN was not under recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

The ABS Control Module failed 7/2025. Brake and other warning lights came on. My mechanic diagnosed as an ABS Control Module failure. After hours of callng dealers and parts stores, it was determined (and confirmed by Ram corporate) that there was LITERALLY ZERO OEM replacement parts in the US! I was informed that "the truck was safe to drive, but you will not have anti-lock brakes". I was stunned at the non-chalant response from RAM corporate that they knew there were no replacement parts available in the US, "but they were working on finding a supplier". So I asked the RAM representative, "so let me get this straight. On this safety critical system, you not only don't have any parts to repair my truck, you don't even have a supplier on contract to build them!" And RAM clearly knew about the failure rate on this part, because I just saw they were in a class-action lawsuit, which I also just saw didn't include the 2016 Ram, but starts with the 2017. This is CRAZY!

My ABS, Traction Control, and Brake light came on. Having my vehicle scanned at a couple of shops, the error message is C2200-49 which is tied to the Anti-Lock Brake System Module - Internal Electronic Failure. Retailers like Autozone, Advance Autoparts, nor O'Riellys do not have the part. I've researched it and it's not just my vehicle. There are a ton of people who are having this same issue. I've shopped multiple online retailers; many say they have it until you order it. Then you get a message stating that the ordered part has been discontinued or is backordered with no eta by the manufacturer. I've even tried having the part refurbished with no luck. It seems that Mopar has stopped making the part and there is no timeline for replacement or fix.

I was getting ready to leave for work and was unable to because my steering wheel was completely locked up. Red steering wheel light flashing and message saying service power steering. The issue seems to fall under the recall on a limited number of RAM 1500s for the faulty EPS system, however mine was not included in that recall for some reason. I’m thankful I never left my driveway and it didn’t happen while driving because that would put myself and others in danger or even worse my children in danger as they ride in this truck with me on a daily basis. Chrysler needs to make this right and recall and fix the issue with the steering. I have read through countless complaints of the same issue.

My ABS brake module has failed with warning lights just appearing this month (9/19/25) and I took it to the local RAM Dealer for confirmation of the problem on (09/30/25) and the Ram/Stellantis dealer told me the part is not available anymore, the internet research confirms Stellantis stopped producing the necessary module for my year truck. My truck is paid off and the dealer (Naples Dodge) told me my options was to trade it in to them for a new vehicle offering me only 8000 dollars for my truck. Then they charged me a diagnostic fee for a repair issue they cannot even fix, this seems like a manufactured problem to force customers of older trucks to upgrade to a more expensive vehicle. I only have basic brake systems now, no ABS obviously a safety risk.

See pictures. Also reference ODI 11691063 complaint. This ram should be added to the ram 2016 existing recall for fuel sensor recall.

ABS Module failure. Cannot be repair due to discontinued part.

I have a 2016 ram 1500 with 25,000 miles on it. the electronic steering went out on me and almost caused me to wreck into other traffic. they do have some 2016 ram trucks that have recalls on contaminated steering issues but mine did not qualify. after doing research it seems many other owners are in the same situation with the steering going out for no reason. I took the truck to the dealer and had recalls done to it but the steering was not on my trucks recall list. The issue is a danger and could have caused a really bad highway accident due to the steering going out. I think this issue needs to be told before more highway accidents or fatalities happen before this issue is addressed. Thanks

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that at start-up, the fuel gauge indicated that the fuel tank was on empty, even though the fuel tank was full. Additionally, the check engine warning light remained illuminated, with the message “Fuel Sensor Failure” displayed. The local dealer was not contacted; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Anti Lock/skid brake module doesn't work, anti lock, anti skid, & Brake warning lights are all on. Service repairman informed me Ram stopped making repair parts for this. Problem is constant and has caused locked brakes, skid and a near collision. Warning lights on continuous. What am I supposed to do about this? I have a $20,000 vehicle unsafe to drive and can't repair.

On [XXX] the power steering icon on my dash turned on. I was parked at post office and had to call tow truck as I could not turn the wheel. I was fortunate that I was not driving as a week prior I was driving from Morro Bay to Bakersfield, I currently am dealing with tennis elbow and it would have been impossible to steer if it failed while driving. The truck is currently at my local dealership and they have verified that it needs a replacement EPS rack to resolve the issue. I was on my way home from work, stopped at the local post office and my traction control light flashed for a few minutes. I arrived at local post office, turned truck off and when I returned to my vehicle to turn on the red light signaling that power steering had failed.

In addition, the contact stated that the failure had previously occurred in November 2024. The contact stated that the failure descriptions. The contact stated that the failure was diagnosed as a failed intake manifold and oil in the turbocharger. The intake manifold, the EGR valve, and the turbocharger were replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 123,000.

Traction control light, brake light and abs light all on. Has been burning my 3rd light bulb and dash speedometer goes blank sometimes when driving. Also feels like brakes are engaged while driving sometimes. Check engine light come on and off sometimes. I was told it was The ABS CONTROL MODULE BY DODGE DEALER SHIP. ALSO TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT SOMETIMES. Have to turn vehicle off to reset. But sometimes it takes several of times to reset.

ABS Control Module is bad so ABS no longer functions. This has been confirmed my a mechanic. ABS light, Traction control light and BRAKE light on dashboard are all on. Replacement part is no longer manufactured so it can not be repaired.

The contact owned a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while making a right turn onto a main road, a passing vehicle crashed into the front driver's side quarter panel of the contact's vehicle. No property damage was reported, the vehicles came to a stop upon impact, and the air bags did not deploy. The speed of the other vehicle at the time of the crash was unknown. The contact's vehicle was towed to a local tow yard. No warning lights were illuminated. A police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed. The contact, seated in the driver's seat, and a passenger seated in the front passenger seat were both injured. No one outside the vehicle was reported to be injured. The contact sustained injuries to her face, a broken nose, a hematoma to the left eye and left cheek, and severe headaches accompanied by various bruises across the left arm, and the passenger sustained bruises across their arms. Medical treatment was needed for the injuries. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.

The front strap that holds the gas tank up broke loose from the frame rusting out.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while his son was driving at an undisclosed speed after the dealer had repaired the vehicle under NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel), the vehicle stalled. The driver was unable to pull over to the side of the road. The vehicle failed to restart. The contact stated that the vehicle was nearly rear-ended several times while in the middle of traffic. The driver called 911, and a nearby Police Officer arrived and redirected traffic away from the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where the driver was informed that the failure had occurred due to air intrusion into the fuel lines while the recall repair was being performed. The dealer informed the contact that the air was removed by turning off and restarting the vehicle several times. The dealer informed the contact's son that the vehicle was drivable. Additionally, the contact stated that there was an abnormally strong fuel odor coming from the vehicle. The contact stated that upon inspecting the vehicle while the vehicle was started, the contact noticed that the fuel line from the HPFP to the driver's side fuel injector rail was leaking. The contact stated that the undercarriage was soaking wet with fuel, and there was a puddle of fuel on the ground while the vehicle was idling. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the part had been ordered to repair the vehicle. The contact stated that the dealer failed to perform the recall repair correctly, causing more damage to the vehicle and creating a potential road safety hazard. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 99,964.

There was no warning light until the steering will lock up and then the light will come on. Which is a life safety hazard because we went into on coming traffic because there was no steering ability. When we turn the truck off the steering will come back. But we lost control of the steering once again. Now the truck has no power steering at all. There is power to the system but continues to fail on the steering system because the light only comes on after the problem. This has happened to well maintained vehicle.. thanks in advance

My Ram 1500 will randomly loose power while driving then pick back up, I have had several issues with electrical including lights flickering or going our for a minute then back on while driving at night, steering wheel controls not working, key fob issues, it also shifts hard at times others its normal. I was told all recalls have been done but personally can not confirm, had it looked at by several mechanics and cant find anything that they say would cause these issues.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the ABS warning light illuminated. In addition, while driving at an undisclosed speed, several unknown warning lights illuminated. The messages, Service Electronic Braking system, Service ABS, Service Trailer Braking system, were displayed. The ABS light disengaged the electronic traction control, and the cruise control failed to operate as intended. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed, and it was determined that the ABS module failed to function as intended. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and complaint was filed. The failure mileage was 114,593.

This is the third complaint I have filed. Now the steering is stiff and makes noise. A mechanic advised that the issue is the ABS module. Dealers still say the ABS module is still unavailable. NHTSA needs to order a recall based on uncertain dependability of steering. Owners are presuming that trucks with faulty modules are safe to operate until NHTSB orders a recall.

Front suspension has completely bottomed out while the back is all the way raised making the truck sit awkwardly and drive extremely unstable and very roughly. You feel every bump on the road and hitting any kind of hole/bump will cause the truck to jerk. I definitely feel less safe driving this truck. Problem was identified by dealership and been an issue since I have owned it for 2+ years. Warning light has been on for most of the time I've had the vehicle included when I bought it and the dealership attempted to fix it.

Driver hit a tree at 55mph, air bags did not deploy, insurance company determined vehicle was total loss, and body shop (Caliber Collision at 3061 US-42 Delaware OH 43015, phone # 740-430-2869) questioned why the air bags did not deploy.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while his wife was driving approximately 65 MPH and driving over a bump in the road, the steering wheel seized while going around a corner. The driver was able to avoid a crash and moved over safely. There was an alarm activated inside the vehicle. The message to check the power steering was displayed. After waiting approximately 5-10 minutes, the message disappeared. The contact linked the failure NHTSA Action Number: RQ23003 (Steering). The contact called the local dealer and was provided with the cost for a diagnostic test and an estimate for the repair. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 148,000.

I own a 2016 RAM 1500 Tradesman (VIN: [XXX] ). My vehicle requires a replacement for the ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) module. This is a critical safety component directly tied to braking and safe vehicle operation. The problem is that Stellantis (RAM) is not producing or supplying new replacement ABS modules, and my dealer has informed me that there are currently over 390 modules on backorder nationwide with no estimated date of availability. 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. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

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. NHTSA should investigate these ABS module failures on Ram

About a week ago I was headed to work and I noticed that the steering was HARD (no grinding or otherwise noticeable noises), like trying to lift bricks every time you make a slight turn. Obviously a pwoer steering issue (I think!)... After a few minutes though it went back to normal. After three days it came back. Today its 95 degrees outside, circuit board inside the eps couldn't take the heat so it completely stopped working

Front gas tank strap is detached from frame and fuel tank is hanging down ready to fall out on road. There is a recall for this condition on the 2009-2012 models but the same condition exists on the 2016. Strap pulled through the corroded bracket welded to the truck frame. Dealer says it is not covered under the recall. Pictures in recall U04 NHTSA 18V-160 look just like my truck so I didn't attach any.

Anti-lock brake module is bad

the connecter under Power Distribution Center has melted and has made it so that the blower motor turns on and off at random. This is going to cause a fire if not fix. There is alot of other people online saying they have the same issue and even showing photos of the connecter. if needed i will send a photo of my connecter.

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.

I own a 2016 Ram 1500. The ABS control module has failed, which has completely disabled both the ABS system 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 a Ram dealer who confirmed that no replacement parts are available and that they do not know when or if parts will become available. •Inspection/Verification: The fault has been verified with an ABS diagnostic fault code. Local shops confirm this is a common failure. 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. The only option available is extremely high-priced used modules from salvage sources, which are unreliable and difficult to obtain. 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. NHTSA should investigate these ABS module failures on Ram

Steering Sensor leading to ABS malfunctioning. Including Instrument dash lights ...Parking Break, Anti Skid, and ABS. Traction control does not work. Cruise does not work....All fuses are good. Cannot clear Dash lights.

Power steering failure. Luckily for us, the failure happened while still in our driveway, so no accident or collision occurred. We had warning messages for ESC, hill start assist, and several other systems, but nothing for EPS (electric power steering). The dealership was able to repair the problem by replacing the steering rack and two associated wiring harnesses. The mechanic noted water and a lot of corrosion in the wiring connector on the steering rack. This vehicle has only had normal water exposure (rain and puddles on the road).

Air suspension failed while driving on interstate and nearly caused total loss of control of the vehicle. Truck violently bounces due to failure in air suspension system.

ABS module failure. Part has not been available for at least 2 years when the failure occurred for this truck. Local repair shops and Dodge dealers are having difficulty in getting the part. NHTSA needs to start pressuring Dodge to get this resolved.

Transmission won't shift out of second gear,and a code showed up U0402 in order for it to shift gear you have to disconnected the battery cable wait a few minutes then connect the battery back this will reset the computer then it will shift gear, while driving at 45 the truck suddenly stop making it feel like the transmission was about to fall out Now the EPS system while driving the steering wheel lock up, when I took it to dealership it sat in the shop about 45 minutes to and hour and they said ok you ready to go don't give me a copy of what was supposed to be done

Antilock brake system module failure. The system controls the anti-locking brake system as well as vehicle stability control, both federally mandated for this year vehicle. The ABS, stability control, and brake lights are illuminated on the dash. 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. As I understand, this is a widespread problem that has affected 10’s to 100’s of thousands of vehicles. Part numbers 68295368AA & 68295368AB with the redesigned part being 68295368AC. I also understand that this part has failed on the Durango, Charger, and Challenger vehicles as well.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving 25 MPH, the message "Check Brakes" was displayed, and the ABS and traction control warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and the dealer determined that the ABS module needed to be replaced; however, the part had not been available for eight months. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

I was involved in a crash that resulted in a fatality on [XXX]. My truck was towed to Five Star Collision Center in Hurst, TX. The repairs were made to the body of my truck. I picked up the truck and ABS warning lights came on. I called Fove Star Collision Center and spoke to my point of contact- Nathan Hultquist. Nathan advised that I should drive the truck back immediately. I took the truck my to Nathan. He advised that I should drive the truck to the closest Dodge dealership. I did so. My ABS Module is out on my 2016 Ram.The warning lamps came on- service brake system, service trailer brake, ABS light stayed illuminated. This appeared 150 days ago. It has been at Grapevine Dodge for over 150 days. It is in limp mode and has been declared unsafe to drive. I have been in communication with Stellantis/MOPAR for the 150 days. There is no resolution. They claim there is no material to manufacture the part? It appears to be made of plastic? I feel that this is a safety concern due to the fact that if the brakes are applied in an emergency situation, the ABS fails and the brakes lock up. The truck can go into limp mode which is at 35 MPH. On a state highway, moving at that speed- that is NOT safe. There are plenty of these trucks out on the road that could have this same problem and cause serious accidents including a death. I ask for your assistance in this matter.

I was driving my 2016 ram 1500 on the highway when my steering gave out due to a faulty electronic power steering rack. I lost control of the vehicle and it almost ended in an accident. I had my family in my vehicle. This is completely unacceptable. I talked to Chrysler about this issue and they said it does not fall under the recall. Although I believe it should due to the rack going bad because of water getting in due to a faulty seal.

ABS Control Module is throwing a code. I have spoke with my mechanic and countless others along with representatives of Mopar/Chrysler and this ABS Control Module has been on back order know for 2 years that I know of. From research I have done the part has been on back order longer than that. In my research I have also found that Mopar/Chrysler does not seem to be manufacturing this part anymore. This issue is effecting 100s if not 1000s of people who have spent a lot of money on these pickups and Mopar/Chrysler could seem to care less about it. 2 years of being on back order is absolutely ridicuous.

ABS Module is failing preventing other systems to work properly (cruise control). This part has been on order since February. The service technician said there are people who have been waiting on this part for over a year and a half. Looking on line this is a problem of enormous proportions on multiple model years. If this part is not available to make this repair, it leaves us with a dangerous braking problem which can effect multiple other functions of our vehicles. If Stellantis knows this part is such a needed safety module, what can be done so owners can have their vehicles repaired?

This vehicle has a faulty ABS module that Ram doesn't make the part for. The part 68292756AA been shown on backorder for over 1yr. After chatting with a Ram customer service agent I found out this part has been discontinued and was advised that I try an aftermarket part. Guess what ? The aftermarket part is not compatible with the program download. This is unacceptable. There seems there is forums after forums with people in the same predicament. This issue really needs to be investigated .

2016 RAM Ecodiesel in shop with crankshaft position sensor error. Vehicle available for inspection at Sarasota RAM. Vehicle shut down on highway.

In September 2016 I purchased a new RAM 1500 echo diesel. On [XXX], I driving along [XXX] in southern Indiana. I lost all power, smoke started coming thru the dash vents, I get off the road, shut the engine off, raise the hood, a little smoke was coming from under the engine cover, popped it off didn't really see anything burning, I opened the air filter lid and and there was smoke, I blew the smoke out of it and replaced it. I got back in the truck, it started but still had no power. It idled fine. I called and towed it to John Jones Auto Group in Corydon, IN, this was all on [XXX]. I was contacted 30 June 2025 that the Intake Manifold had failed and needed to be replaced. I gave them the go ahead to replace it. They called me and told me it was ready. the following week and told the Intake Manifold failed and needed to be replaced. I gave them go ahead to repair it. They told me the Intake manifold replaced and ready for pick-up. When I went to pick it up, on 22 July 2025. The Tech showed me the intake manifold; it looked like it had melted. He also said the water pump was leaking and should be replaced. I paid for the repair for the intake manifold, left the truck and drove my car home, intending to have someone run me there and I would drive the RAM home. After thinking about a day or 2 I called John Johns and told them to go ahead and replace the water pump and took the key back to them. I didn't want it to fail when I was least expecting it. AT this point I've spent $4,750.20. They called I went and picked the truck up on 23 Jul 25, drove it home (20 miles) on [XXX] I just pulled out of my driveway, check the rearview mirror and saw all this white smoke coming out of the exhaust. I pulled over smelled the fumes it wasn’t diesel fumes, but it smell sweet. I turned around took the RAM back home and drove my car to work. I call John Jones Auto.

the air suspension failed and truck was sitting right on the frame making for hard steering and really bouncing when hitting bumps. the ABS light came on and warnings about air suspension. have had it worked on but problems keep returning. this time it wont go back to normal

The ABS module is malfunctioning; it is an internal electronic fault that has been diagnosed by the dealership. This is leading to a lack of cruise control, excessive drain on the battery resulting in constant recharging, and a red brake light to be illuminated, which results in immediate failed inspection of the vehicle in Virginia. There is an existing recall on 2019 and 2021-2024 Dodge Rams; however, there is a national shortage of the part and dealerships will not install used modules. Currently there is no solution offered by Dodge other than to continue charging the battery and to pay approximately $700 for the part that has been "Under Review" for at least 8 months. The problem has been confirmed by the dealership which has stated over 160 people have requested the part be ordered at this one location. Their recommendation was to disconnect the battery every night. This is not a solution.

The engine on this vehicle has failed, it has 51,000 miles on it and involved in a class action lawsuit that closed in 2022. This truck was bought in 2023 with dealership not disclosing all of the failures in the vehicle. It is at a local shop requiring $16,000 worth of engine repair and we are demanding from Dodge to have help with repairs. We had and have a record of regular maintenance completed on this vehicle and is in immaculate condition.

ABS light came on a long time ago and I have been unable to get it repaired due to availability of the part and demand due to so many owners having an issue with this ABS module failing. This is not a wear and tear part, this module should not have failed when it did. I see there have been recalls on other Ram trucks and 2016 has been left out. This issues is present for so many owners and is a safety issue.

Fuel level sensor failed. Truck will randomly display false fuel levels. This causes the fuel level to be unknown leading the potential of running out gas and being stranded. Dealer says fuel pump needs replaced and is in the process of doing so. Dealer also stated this is a common issue on the Ram trucks.

I drove through standing water in a parking lot and a few minutes later the steering got funny.the next day it was no power steering, then the steering completely locked up could not turn steering wheel at all.

Abs internal system failure. Abs light illuminated, traction control light illuminated, parking brake light illuminated at all times. Is available for inspection. Do not have abs system currently working and is faulty. Spongy braking and am at risk for brake failure at any time. Especially during slick road conditions. It has been confirmed with independent service center and has been inspected by them. No problems prior to the illumination of lights and system failure which occurred June 4th 2025.

I believe my truck should be included in recall s19/nhtsa 16v 167: I turned on my truck , and the EPS warning light came on. The truck lost all power steering. The next day it worked. Then after idling in a parking lot, I tried to drive and the column had a shake. Then the power steering went completely out

I presently have 92,200 miles on my Doge Ram. I have experienced 3 fuel pump/fuel sender failures. The first at 18,947 miles, second at 43,634 miles and third at 92,263.This last fuel pump replacement will have the defective pump available for inspection after the repair work is done. The failure of a fuel pump/sender could lead to stalling, power loss and failure to start. These deficiencies could lead to traffic accidents resulting in property loss and bodily harm or even death. The warnings persisted until I had the parts replaced. Because of the number of times (3)and the low mileage , 18k,43k and 92k miles, it appears that the fuel pumps used in this model of Dodge Ram are either defective or inadequately engineered. These failures were preceded by and check engine warning light followed by a fuel sensor failure light and fuel gauge malfunction.

Truck EPS failed while driving creating a dangerous situation but turck falls outside of NHTSA 16V-167 recall.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving 60 MPH, the vehicle inadvertently lost motive power. The contact was able to pull over to the shoulder of the roadway, where the failure persisted. The vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the crankshaft position sensor tone wheel. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V411000 (Engine and Engine Cooling), but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 56,000.

Per the dealer the ABS module failed, affecting the antilock brakes, traction control, trailer braking. Component failures causes erratic braking. The vehicle is now subject to longer stops in wet/slippery conditions. The dealer has diagnosed the problem. Chrysler/Ram do not have the ABS modules and they are on national back order. There is no known delivery date. Multiple lights are on in the vehicle. Vehicle has been at the dealer for more than 2 weeks now. The problem was diagnosed July 1, 2025. The needed part couldn't be sourced by the dealer.

Power steering assist quit working while driving. It appears to be an electrical problem because it works when restarting engine before it goes out again. There are no apparent mechanical issues with it.

The ABS warning light has appeared and the dealership inspected the vehicle and stated the ABS needs to be replaced. Research shows multiple RAM 1500 trucks from 2016-2019 have had a recall on this system, but as far as I know, no recall was issued on mine. I do not know where to look to view all recalls that were issued on a particular vehicle.

We were driving down the interstate and my truck went into limp mode. This almost caused an accident. We were able to get off the road and into a parking lot but the whole truck locked up. The dash started saying "Service Throttle Positioning System" and the gear shift locked into park. The truck got stuck in first gear and I was able to get out of the way before we were rear ended. We had the truck towed to a truck shop and the codes had gone away. They drove it and while they were testing it it did the same thing to them. Based on research this part was on recall on the Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0L Eco Diesel for causing this same issue with the crank shaft tone wheel (reluctor wheel) but to this date there has been none on my truck. We are now out $3400 for the repair with Stellantis knowing they have had issues with this part on the other models with the same engine.

In January 2025, the “Check ABS” warning light illuminated in my 2016 RAM 1500 Laramie. I promptly brought the vehicle to the dealership where it was purchased. Upon inspection, I was informed that the required part for repairs was on back order. I was assured that I would receive an update from the dealership in March 2025 regarding the status of the part, but I did not receive any communication. On June 20, 2025, I contacted the dealership for an update and was informed that the part remains on back order and is no longer being manufactured. However, no solutions or alternative options were provided to address this issue. A representative from the Service Department stated they would escalate the matter to the Parts Manager, but no further plan or resolution was discussed. Given that the vehicle ABS is a key safety feature, I am very concerned that a necessary safety component is unavailable.

I am having trouble with the electronic power steering. The power steering goes in and out, making it difficult to turn the steering wheel, making myself feel at risk while in traffic. The problem has not been confirmed yet by a dealer for my specific VIN.

Intermittent steering issues, loss of power steering, hard to steer vehicle.

The Anti-Lock Brake module has failed, causing issues with ABS, Traction Control, Braking in general, and cruise control. I have been in contact with the manufacturer on over 20 occasions over the past year. Their response is always "it's under review, we will have an update in a few weeks."

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked, the contact became aware of a part hanging down underneath the vehicle. The contact inspected underneath the vehicle and became aware that the fuel tank strap was corroded and had detached. In addition, the fuel tank was partially detached. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,400.

The steering is difficult as though the power steering is gone at low speeds. My battery died and after disconnecting it and replacing the battery, the power steering was fine for a few days. It then went back to not working and hasn’t worked since. Steering the truck around turns through a city is difficult when power steering isn’t available. No warning lights or check engine lights have been illuminated.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed, and the contact was advised that the air filter was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, months later the failure reoccurred. The contact stated that when the vehicle was started, there was a misfire coming from the engine. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed and the contact was advised that the EGR cooler assembly, intake manifold, NOX sensor, and the exhaust particulate sensor were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage 107,000.

Due to low oil pressure vehicle engine seized while driving on freeway. After having it towed to local dealer, I was quoted $19,000 to replace the engine because it could not be repaired.

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.

I have found countless problems with broken bolts on the exhaust manifold on the web. Technical service bulletins have been written involving the problem. It is a known problem and continues.

While driving My Dodge Ram 1500 on the freeway at 65 MPH the steering wheel locked up and I had no control over my vehicle. The vehicle put everyone on the freeway in danger, including myself. Each time this happened the engine light and the light for the traction control system came on. This has happened multiple times and each time I have reported it to the dealership, they say they can not help me unless it happens while they are driving it. Please address this before someone gets hurt because of my steering column locking up.

Saturday [XXX], around noon, I was driving my family and my electronic power steering went out. The steering wheel became to stiff during a turn into a voting station, and I almost ran over a curb hitting pedestrians. I turned off the vehicle and restarted it and a red power steering indicated lamp lit on the dashboard, and the vehicle was difficult to steer. The mechanic I called recommended I check NHTSA Saftey Recalls, and found this for 2016 Ram Trucks: ":16V-167 / S19 Recall Summary The power steering system may stop functioning because of a short circuit in the electric power steering (EPS) control circuit board. This would increase risk of a crash." However, me VIN is not covered in the recall. I called RAM to let them know and opened a case, and they recommended I report this to NHTSA . I was not able to get the truck to a RAM dealer, but the mechanic I took it to said that the electronics have failed and the entire steering assembly needs to be replaced...

I was driving my Ram 1500 when all of a sudden my steering wheel locked in place and I could not control my steering wheel. This was a bit frightening as I did not know what had happened. I was able to bring my truck back home and called a mechanic, the mechanic told me it is a rack and pinion issue with my truck and after investigation we found there was a recall on a few of these Rams surprisingly when looking it up it shows “no unrepaired recalls” I find it hard to believe and really frustrating as this could’ve caused a really bad accident had even cost me my life.

Ever since I have owned the vehicle, the gas station fill nozzle randomly gets stuck when trying to fill the vehicle. I tried taking it to the dealer years back, but was told there was no fix. When the nozzle gets stuck, you really need to wiggle and pry to get it out, sometime spilling fuel outside the truck when it finally releases.

- Power Steering Failed - Was driving highway speed - Suddenly steering wheel stiffened/locked - Dashboard warning light cam on and audible alert stating "Service Power Steering" Truck was able to be guided manually (very difficult - inexperienced driver or individual with less strength would not be able to turn steering wheel ) - not yet - This happened Sunday [XXX] - Truck is currently in the drive at my residence. - Warning lamp and audible alert - At time of incident - I did notice the steering was a little wonky 2 - 3 days prior. (Believed to be tie-rod/Ball joint etc.) Had called local garage to set up inspection (Due in May) to check front end. Below it request (how fast were we traveling) I mention this because, On Saturday evening [XXX] Between [XXX] and [XXX] We were traveling highway speeds 65 - 70 (Flow of traffic) in low visibility (Dark/Rainy) If this has occurred during that period there likely would be "Additional Details" to provide in the below.

I have electronic steering in my 2016 dodge ram it is failing when driving the truck has under 100,000 miles on it. It just happened all at once while driving to work one morning.

Power Steering issues that have been known for multiple Dodge Ram 1500 Trucks but apparently not my specific Truck? I have contacted multiple shops to get quotes to fix this problem. It has been known to be a problem for multiple Ram 1500 Trucks including my year but for whatever reason my truck is not listed as under this recall? There was absolutely nothing wrong with my vehicle and my vehicle has been very well maintained with all records in hand. Out of nowhere getting in my truck the steering does not work. No accidents or any damage, just random failure to the power steering. This caused my family and I to barely be able to steer my truck onto the main road from our house and back to the home safely. It was very random as this was the first and only time this occurred. Curious as to why my vehicle is not covered under the recall that is listed for all other Dodge Ram 1500 Trucks for the same issues? This is not a normal thing to have fail.

ABS control module failed. Dash warning lights are on and error code present for ABS module failure.

This is a dangerous situation instilling a behavior with owners to disregard the warning lights they are receiving on their 1500 truck dashboards. Potentil for brake failure during operation has a high probability. Ram MOPAR is ignoring this safety issue.

I pulled the vehicle over, turned it off, then turned it on again and the power steering started working again but the check engine light was still on. 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.

I was driving on a blacktop road doing 60mph when I topped a hill and suddenly the road surface changed to mud and deep puddle of water , as I hit my brakes all the ABS BRAKE AND ANTI SKID LIGHTS on my dash lite up and the tires locked up and i slide almost sideways into a massive puddle of water at a very dangerous angle. The force of it was very difficult to steer my truck back straight to miss the bridge rails that was just yards ahead.

Will sell dodge when fixed if part recalled to make dodge fix it please.

ABC Control Module - The warning lights that are on in the Dashboard are the ABS Light, Traction Control Light and the Brake Light. When these lights came on, I took it to the Ram Dealership, and they told me that it was the ABS Control Module that was bad and needed replaced. 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. They are not giving me any solutions to the problem, and I am forced to drive an unsafe vehicle until Ram takes the parts off of Enginering Hold. I am not getting any help from Ram on this issue, and they do not seem to care about my Safety. The Dealership that my truck was at is Shively Motors in Shippensburg PA

1. I believe my power steering is not working properly. I can feel it. 2. I believe it is getting worse and I could get into an accident. 3. No 4. No 5. No. I just feel it getting hard to steer.

Dealership said that they are on back order and I must pay for half of it before they order. I paid them to order it but it is still back ordered. 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. There are many online forums detailing all of these issues and the cost is exorbitant.

Was advised by independent mechanic that the ABS module needs to be replaced, and this part has been unavailable for over 8 months. Contacted dealer and they also advised part is unavailable and they did not know when it would be available. Vehicle is drivable, but probably not safe to do so.

The abs module has gone out and there's a nationwide hold on the part. The date keeps getting extended on release which tells me you all know there is a problem. Our truck has been sitting for months due to the issue but we are still expected to pay for something we can't even drive. Something needs to be done to correct this problem because there are lots of vehicles with the same issue which is very concerning seeing as how this is a safety feature.

The ABS module on my truck has been broken for over 9 months and RAM still can't provide a part. A search on the internet shows that this is a very common problem with RAM trucks and a lot of people are waiting on this part. Each time I have called to order the part, my local dealer has told me that they have had several calls about this and that they can't order the part because the system says it's under "engineering review" and that RAM says it will be ready next month. Well, I've heard this for 9 months now. Today, I was driving in the snow and had to brake hard and couldn't stop sliding because I don't have ABS brakes. Also, this has caused issues while pulling a trailer several times. I've turned this into RAM and NHTSA and have had no response. I really am trying to be patient with this, but this has gone on too long. If I have a wreck or someone in my family is hurt because of the unavailability of this part, I want something on record showing that I've addressed this several times.

The recall for high pressure pump came out in July of 2022. To this day there is no fix. They just put back in the same defective high pressure pump and it breaks down again leaving you stranded. Mine has been fixed twice since the recall. That is on average every 18 months.

While driving almost complete loss of steering. Very hard to turn. After a battery reset, it corrected, but very short lived. I was able to get the vehicle home, but has been undriveable since. Now there is absolutely no steering at all, the rack and pinion is completely locked. The only warning light is the "service power steering" light on the dash, no codes in the computer. Through research, I found that there is a known issue with the computer board on the rack and pinion which is known to cause this problem. The only solution is to replace the rack and pinion with a new one. There is already a recall for vehicles that predate mine, but mine is not included. I have just ordered a new rack and pinion and am having it replaced, but there is a significant core charge, so I will not be keeping the old one.

Issue with the relay controlling the fuel pump located in the fuel tank(lift pump) When the relay stop working, the engine cannot be started or don't supply fuel to the High pressure fuel pump (HPFP) forcing to stop on the road. Could lead seriously to an unsafe situation like the HPFP can do. This issue can be reproduce easily by the dealer. No DTC or check engine ON for this type of issue. The dealer fix it yesterday and the damage was under the TIPM (Total integrated Power Module) The wires connectors under the relay were melted by overheat. This issue lead to an OFF and ON electrical contact between the fuel pump and the relay. This issue is largely documented over internet and can be fix for under 200$ usd with an external relay. But the first FCA option is to replace the TIPM board for 1200$ usd. Actually no recall for this major issue present in many FCA models since many years. The first time this issue happend was december 20, 2024. The date of repair is february, 12 2025. Between those two dates, I got the crank nostart problem many times.

I have been waiting 6 or more months for an ABS control module (part # 68295368AC) for my 2016 Ram 1500 (vin [XXX]). I cannot locate a new one at any dealer I have called as they all say the part is back ordered and they have no idea when it will be available. It seems to me that if the part has been unavailable for over six months then many trucks are having the same problem which would indicate faulty manufacturing and thus should be recalled. Driving this vehicle with this module not functioning properly disables the traction control as well as the ABS but I am forced to drive it as I have no other vehicle that I can drive while this one sits in the driveway waiting for a part that no one knows when it will be available. I hope you are able to help me convince Mopar that they need to replace the part at their expense ASAP or provide a replacement vehicle in the meantime.

I lost power steering and hard to steer. I looked at fuses and f78 looked to be good. I made an appointment with Dodge dealer and when I was going to bring it steering worked. Now I need to wait to see if this issue happens again and this is dangerous while driving. There should be a recall on Module that causes this. I’ve read where this is common. We shouldn’t have to drive a vehicle with a known problem as you all are investigating this issue. Thank you!

I am having continuous problems with electric power steering! I’ve taken truck to local dealership! Hights dodge! Madison Maine! Had it inspected while under warranty! Was told no issues with it they claimed they cleaned the connections and claimed that it was working with no issues!! As soon as I left the dealership it started acting up again! The steering wheel will actually get stopped and extremely hard to turn! Almost caused several accidents! The power steering is always intermittent! But dealership says there’s nothing wrong with it! This problem could have been resolved while it was still under extended warranty! They chose not to do anything! Now it’s out of warranty I’m expected to pay for repairs now! For the same problem that I reported and had looked at by dealership! This vehicle has only 88k on it the power steering should work!! Vehicle shows no codes! Does not indicate any issues! Try to drive it and it’s like trying to steer a truck from the 50’s with no power steering! I’ve talked with many people with same vehicle they all report same issue with electric power steering not functioning properly!! It will end up causing injuries or death when the power steering decides it doesn’t want to work!!! Accidents will happen no doubt!!’

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving on the highway at 45 MPH, the tailgate unexpectedly opened. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact pulled over onto the side of the highway and closed the tailgate. The contact drove the vehicle to a local dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the lock actuator was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 118,000.

ABS system is lighting up on the dash clusters. Have the problem checked by the dealer in November and they are unable to make repairs until inspectors make approve the part.

My truck was in the dealer for a 66A recall on the crankshaft positioning sensor. The recall states the magnetic material attached to the tone wheel if lost the engine loses its ability to synchronize injector pulse and cam timing. The fix was a PCM reprogram to maintain engine operation if signal is lost. There is a prior recall W68 which address the tone ring for replacement on 2014-2016 model code DS W68 states loss of crankshaft position. the fix under this recall is to replace tone wheel and crank shaft positioning sensor. Because they could lose magnetic material on the tone wheel causing loss of signal from the crankshaft positioning sensor to the PCM. my truck loss power and showed throttle positioning sensor fault and engine light came on . i brought my vehicle into the dealer they diagnosed code po336-00 crankshaft positioning sensor performance. on further inspection found tone wheel has chunk of material missing causing code. they replaced tone wheel as instructed by W68 recall so why is my truck not covered under this recall for the exact same problem.

Upon braking on the interstate the truck lost control and almost crashed due to not braking properly. ABS, Brake and traction control lights all came on and have stayed on steadily since. Truck pulls to the right every time we brake. When we spoke with dodge they told us the ABS module is the problem but that it can not be replaced due to no longer being made. They said the the truck is not safe to drive with the bad ABS module.

WArning light to service shifter, service electronic thorottle control and service ABS system, Computers not comunicating due to computer error, found fuse blown and high resistance in the power districution center. replaced and programmed the power distribution module to find anitlock brake model failed. Part is currenlty on engineering hold. We have not been able to ddrive the vehicle since 11/8/2024 and now they are telling us it may be February till part is realeased. There was a safety recall U07 that was repair but the ABS module is the part controlling all items that are failing.

After having a full tank of fuel/gas my gas gauge will fluctuate to empty I'm saying no fuel on my gauges and the gas light will come on. When another person is in my vehicle like my wife driving that is not used to this will cause her to panic when she is on the highway or other roadways driving at high speeds and this can be dangerous. Also can be dangerous the other way giving false reading when you do need fuel and you don't have a 14 and it gives you false readings thinking you do have enough gas and leave you stranded in the wrong place wrong time wrong situation. 2018 intermediate until now 2025 almost daily to weekly. Research the problem in the past and have seen that this is a known issue

The ABS Control Module has failed. This module controls the ABS, TCS, Cruise Control and leaves the BRAKE light on on the dash. This problem has been diagnosed by the dealership. The part has been discontinued by MOPAR and there are currently no indications of inventory being replenished by a MOPAR part manufacturer or 3rd party manufacturer. Without this, the vehicle no longer has required safety features available for the safe operation of manufacturer specs. The warning lights are operational. The availability of the part is out of stock indefinetly. There has been no indication of a potential solution by the manufacturer. Through repeated attempts to contact Stellantis about this issue, no guidance has been given, only "we're sorry" and "continue to wait for part availability." This issue needs escalation as the manufacturer is not showing, in good faith, that there is something being done to resolve the supply issue and is acting as they are content with the vehicle being in a less than safe state.

Power steering quits working while driving.

The ABS electronic module has failed. The replacement part from the dealership has/is on “Engineering Hold “ since November, extended to December 19, then extended to January 17, and now extended to February 19th. The ABS modules for Dodge Ram trucks from 2017 onwards are on recall. The ABS module also controls the cruise control, so that is not working also. Please add the 2016 models to the recall.

The air ride (air bags) have deflated and will not inflate. Had at dealer and was told $6000 to fix. I only had vehicle for a little over a year at that time. Since then air ride has failed

Have been forced to drive my truck without ABS and also with all the ABS, Brake and Check Engine lights on due to a faulty ABS Module. RAM has been saying for years they had a fix coming and still nothing. Several components will not work due to this issue. Ram service said its ok to drive even without Anti-Lock Brakes. When I said the thousands of owners who are forced to do this are committing insurance fraud and are at risk liability wise they said no worries. The forums are full of owners with the same issue. To add insult to injury they have adjust the software on our RAM vehicle heath report to not show the owner alert for the failure so less informed owners are unaware of exactly what the issue is. HELP!!!!

Seat belt disengages randomly while driving on the drivers seat. Everyday since December 25, 2024

ABS light came on end of July, 2024 Had truck checked at local dealership 08/07/2024 and was told I'd need to replace ABS Module. Been over 5 months, part is STILL not available, and, now my ABS light, Electronic Stability Control Light, and Brake Light are all on. Dealership told me nothing can be done. Next proposed date for release of needed part is in February, which from recent history, wll probably (IMO) not happen. This is an issue (according to internet search) which is affecting many Ram owners

Power steering (EPS) warning flashes when the temperature drops below 32 degrees. Wheels immediately become difficult to turn.

To Whom It May Concern: In March 2024 I purchased a Ram 1500 pickup truck. 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. I contacted Ram Division and submitted all the documents necessary for reimbursement of my costs, which was rejected. I gave them a bad review on their handling of the situation, and they put me

Power steering completely went out, without warning, while driving 55 mph. No prior warning - all of a sudden a red light came on with exclamation point saying the power steering must be serviced. Incredibly difficult to steer / drive it to a certified Dodge dealership. A quick inspection found the problem to be: Electric power steering gear unit must be replaced. Estimated price quote for MOPAR replacement part and labor is $3000+

I started hearing a clunk coming from the front of my truck and had it checked and the CV shaft broke. My truck isn’t even 10 years old

The vehicle has an air ride suspension that has failed and after researching the issue it seems that this is an ongoing problem for a lot of owners. Without the air ride suspension the vehicle is difficult to control and until fixed it is also my only mode of transportation.

Abs module has electronic fault requiring repair or replacement there is no modules available to repair with some remanufactured ones are available with prices very high also has to be programmed by a dealer making it a very costly repair if you can find one. This is a safety issue as abs will not function till repair complete chrysler is well aware of issue there is thread after thread about it online.

On [XXX] my power steering system completely froze in sub-0 temperatures. The wheels were unable to steer right or left. After idling for some time, it unfroze resulting in a grinding noise and very stiff steering. This has continued where the steering freezes in cold temperatures and continues to grind. The vehicle was brought to Main Motor in Johnstown NY (dealer) to inspect this and they determined that the Steering Rack (which includes the EPS) had failed- mainly the steering gear. The truck has 88,000 miles. This is a sealed, unserviceable system and should not fail at this point. The dealer price for a replacement part was $3010 plus labor. As the truck had been out of warranty for a month, I brought it to an independent shop for confirmation and they will be completing the repair. These steering systems are a known issue, I spoke to the consumer complaint department at Ram and through the dealer. Neither wanted to rectify the situation at their own cost.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving at approximately 40 MPH, he heard the sound of the tailgate opening independently. When the contact stopped the vehicle, he observed that the tailgate was open and he was able to raise and secure the tailgate. The contact stated that later he was starting the vehicle and saw that the tailgate was again open, however, he was not able to secure the tailgate. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed and was not repaired. The contact called a local dealer and was informed that he would need to bring the vehicle in for a diagnostic check. The contact asked if there was an open recall. The contact was advised by the dealer that NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V486000 (Structure, Latches/Locks/Linkages) had been completed on the vehicle by a previous owner and he was no longer covered by the recall. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 78,000.

I have had several issues with this vehicle for over 1 yr, started having issues with the vehicle 3 months after purchasing it. I was unaware of any warranties on my truck because I bought it used. Called the dealership that I bought it from and they said I didn’t have a warranty on it. The truck would lose power while driving than it would show something about exhaust issue. Finally after around 6 months or so we had to take it to the shop to have it fixed paid over $2000 to have it fixed and it worked for some time but finally would not turn on and left us stranded.It has been over a year since we have been able to use the truck because now it has affected the motor. I am so desperate for some type of resolution. This is a recall issue and don’t understand why Chrysler won’t fix it.

I've read many problems with not being able to put fuel in the truck, I am experiencing that exact problem. You can't pump gas into the tank. The nozzle shuts off immediately, after .15 cents or so. No engine codes to help diagnose the problems.

Ram has an issue with the electronic brake module. It effects the anti-brake, anti-slip, trailer brake, and cruise control. They are aware of it and it is documented on many forums as far back as 2016 on my model. My son has a 2018 2500 and is starting to have the same issues. This is an $1100 job but they don't have the part and can't get it. They say it is on back order? No real guarantee it will even last when it is replaced. This is a hazard driving. And definitely an issue you need to address

Since buying our 2016 Ram 1500 ecodiesel, we have had nothing but problems. In 2020 there was an EGR/coolant leak that was supposedly done. Upon getting the recall done, they said that the manufacturer has not yet made any equipment to fix the issue. They replaced our hose, but we have had to get it fixed almost annually since then. This is a lemon of a truck and FCA should be ashamed releasing a vehicle with so many issues and no fix in sight. It says our recall was "remedied", but even the service department said that there is no guaranteed fix because FCA has not released anything to actually fix this issue. We were without our truck for almost a month. Ridiculous. DO NOT BUY THIS TRUCK, YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!!

Steering issues with power steering not working properly.

* There are ABS and Traction Control warning lamps and messages illuminated on the dash starting in July of 2024. They do not turn off. * Two different certified independent service centers diagnosed the ABS Module as the cause, which requires replacement. * The ABS module has malfunctioned causing the brakes to pulsate and extend safe stopping distance. The problem also causes the traction control feature to not work, which causes extreme danger on a wet surface. Additionally the cruise control will not set due to this ABS module malfunction. * I have ordered a new ABS module from RAM (part # 68295368-AC), but it has been under "Engineering Review" for months with no insight into when the problem will be fixed. Ram states that the truck is "safe to drive" while we wait, but my experience with it shows that to be false. RAM seems to expect us to drive an unsafe vehicle until they get around to finding a solution.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to pull over to the side of the road and the vehicle was able to restart. However, the contact was unable to pull to the side of the road when the failure occurred on one occasion, and the vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer. The contact stated that the dealer replaced the high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) several times. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel); however, the failure persisted. The contact stated that there was fuel leaking from underneath the vehicle onto the ground. The vehicle was towed to the dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 89,000.

Intermittently failure of my power steering. Fluid is full, all components appear fine when inspected by mechanic. Upon further research discovered could be an issue with the circuit board. Unable to drive my truck due to the lack of power steering causing a major potential safety issue.

ABS Code C2200-49, anti-lock brake module internal electronic failure. Have not been able to source a new ABS control module for my vehicle. Apparently Dodge/Mopar/Chrysler has stopped producing this part. No ABS makes it dangerous to drive in the snowy/wet conditions prevalent during the winter months, especially in New York State. ABS, traction control, and brake lights are illuminated on dash. Owners manual states that the vehicle should not be driven with the brake light illuminated. Don’t really have a choice but to drive the vehicle, as I can’t afford to park the vehicle for an unknown period of time until the new module becomes available.

There’s numerous reports with the same year , make, and model regarding power steering issues and Dodge doesn’t seem to do anything regarding it . My power steering is out and it’s a huge safety issue because it went out on me while driving on the freeway and it’s happend to thousands of more Drivers as well from what I’m reading

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving at approximately 25 MPH, the check engine warning light was illuminated and the fuel gauge suddenly was inoperative. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel tank strap and the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The contact researched and discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel); however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 102,841. 

The ABS module has a fault which is preventing the ABS system from functioning resulting in increased potential for braking mishaps. The module scan shows a c2200-49 code indicating a fault in the module. The RAM dealer states they are unable to get replacement parts from the manufacturer or a non-factory party. From internet searches it appears this is a longstanding problem potentially putting drivers at risk of serious injury or death. Strongly recommend NHTSA ensure a recall is issued to ensure manufacturer resolution of this serious safety problem.

My truck has been diagnosed with a faulty ABS control module over a year ago. I have made countless efforts to remedy this to no avail. The demand is so high for these and the supply is zero. The vehicle will go into limp mode every time i drive it. This poses a serious threat to my safety by not being able to get up to speed on the highway and constantly having to pull over. This is my only vehicle and has been a huge inconvenience.

The power steering goes in and out intermittently, while making aturn the power steering went out making it difficult to steer, i crossed the double yellow line stopping just short of the curb. if there was a vehicle traveling in the opposite direction i definitely would of collided. it was 5 am and traffic was slow. it appears this is a known problem for RAM trucks . And there appears to be a NHTSA investigation open.

The air suspension went out on my ram 1500, and i cannot drive the vehicle. This happened when I was on the highway, and it almost made crash. After the service suspension light came on, the truck was incredibly hard to control. I had the vehicle towed from Atlantic Expressway to my home. Now the truck doesn't move and is now stuck in the lowered position.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000 (FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

Warning lights have illuminated for ABS, Traction Control and Brake. Same as Safety Recall Report 24V-896, but that Safety Recall Report does not currently include 2016 1500 RAM models. I believe that Safety Recall Report should be expanded to include the 2016 1500 RAM model.

The power steering quit the steering was very different to use and make turns. There is a steering wheel icon in red and message that says to service power steering. I took into dealer after a day they got the code to reset I drove home and the code came back on and I lost power steering again and the steering icon is back on. The dealer says you will have to replace the power steering module which doesn’t seam right if they can temporarily get it to clear

I am experiencing the loss of Power Steering I have the Electronic Power Steering issue that a lot of people are having. I have been to 2 mechanics and one being the dealer that says the power steering is faulty and its the same issue that a lot of others are having but Ram tells me that my truck is just out of the recall dates by a couple months and there is nothing they can do they say so I am reaching out to try and get help with this as it is the same issues on the recal

Husbands car started making a ticking noise and was loosing power while driving, so we brought it into the dealership. It will be $5796.58 to fix the rocker arms and camshaft. The estimate is for rocker arm roller failed damaging the camshaft. We are thankful that it has not caused any major incidents while driving that would casue serious harm to him and others on the road. Upon doing research we have found that this is a common issue with the engine that is in his Ram 1500, 2016. It was sold to us and we were not informed that this could be an issue. Again, we are thankful that he was not hurt before we were able to get it to the dealership.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle lost automotive power and stalled. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who diagnosed that the crankshaft position sensor tone wheel had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The contact was informed that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V475000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 127,000.

The truck lost all steering capability - the RAM dealership said it needs a complete steering electric power steering system replacement, totaling over $4,000.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the tailgate opened unintendedly. The local dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V347000 (Latches/Locks/Linkages). The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 79,000.

The abs module has failed on the 2016 Ram 1500. It has illuminated the brake light, abs light, and traction light on my dash permanently. It is disabling abs, cruise control, and now I will not know if any other problems arise in my brake system because the lights stay on permanently. I have been unable to purchase a replacement part because it has been unavailable for over 6 months to purchase. I continuously get told a new part is under engineer review but they just keep extending the date every other month. In the mean time I have no way to repair my vehicle. Absolutely unsafe and unacceptable for a major system (brakes).

The tailgate fell open while in motion. Now it won't latch closed unless I hold it up and lock it with the mechanical key or the keyfob. Online research indicates that recal # U74 should have included this truck but I was never notified. I am the second owner and acquired this truck 05/05/2018.

Have recall and have contacted dealership. But have not been resolved. I submitted a complaint here and have not gotten a response. Tracking number is 11611355.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving downhill 50-55 MPH and towing a boat, the brake pedal became hard. The brake pedal was hard to depress. The ABS and traction control warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V653000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic, Electronic Stability Control (ESC). The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who used a code scanner and determined that the failure was related to the ABS module. The local dealer was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 20–25 MPH, the steering became inoperable. The contact was unable to control the vehicle and crashed into the curb, and the passenger side tire popped. The driver continued to drive and parked. The contact changed the tire, and upon starting the vehicle, the tire and traction control warning lights illuminated.  The contact noticed the passenger side fender and rim were scraped from the cement. The contact stated that the failure was due to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V167000 (Steering). There were no reported injuries, airbag deployment, or police report filed. The contact called the local dealer, who scheduled an appointment. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

The ABS Control Module has faulted and no longer allows for the ABS System, Traction Control System or Cruise Control System to operate properly and also leaves the BRAKE light illuminated (which should indicate the parking brake is engaged). This part has been discontinued by the manufacturer and there is no timeline associated with a replacement part. This allows for the vehicle to be operated without the required ABS system functioning and no feasible timeline to make repairs to this system. The dealer has ran diagnostics to confirm ABS Control Module failure. This problem has caused a dashboard warning light and was brought to a Ram dealership promptly for diagnostics/repair. MOPAR and RamTrucks has been contacted multiple times without a follow up from the company.

I was driving the truck and went to make a turn and suddenly the power steering went. It was very difficult to drive and was a definite hazard to myself and others. I took the truck to the dealer where they in turn said there was not a problem with the power steering. I have included the document given to me by the dealership. Upon my own investigation the power steering has defaulted many other drivers as well. This should be a recall. I then disconnected the battery and reconnected it two days later and the power steering returned. Withing the next few days the power steering went again. This is an electrical power steering and needs to be investigated asap. Yor help in greatly appreciated.

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.

My steering wheel only turns violently to the right (I have a video that will not upload). My husband almost broke his thumb when it happened. Thankfully no one was injured. However, we were about to leave on a 1200-mile trip when this happened. This problem will not go away. Ram has refused to even look at the truck even though there is a recall on this in 1500 Ram trucks including diesels like mine, but not my vin#. There was absolutely no warning before this happened. We are grateful we were not on the highway when this happened, or I would not be able to write this to you today. I called Ram customer service on 11/6 and disconnected right when they were giving me the case number. I called back on 11/7 to get the case number and was informed that the last person never created one. She created 2 case numbers for me, 1 to look at the vehicle as this is a major safety issue and another one for my rental car expense and told me I would be contacted in 4 business days. 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. I was never notified and why did they have me tow my vehicle to a dealer if they never planned on looking at the vehicle. Also, they let me eat this cost and the cost to tow it out of there. I need my truck back and I can no longer afford the rental car in addition to $3800 (right now) to fix the truck so I am having "My Mechanic" (name of shop) fix this issue and I am paying out of pocket. However, they can only find an OEM part and I am afraid that this part may end up being faulty as well.

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. I’m hoping I’m not the only one to complain about this and we can try to resolve this issue.

ABS module on the vehicle has failed. Took it to be diagnosed and was told the code was that there was an internal component failure and the module would need to be replaced as it is a common issue. Intermittent service power steering message while driving and power steering stops working making vehicle has to maneuver at low speeds. Power steering returns after the vehicle is shut off and restarted. Have not been able to be reproduced for dealer to diagnose.

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. Due to my experience, I believe the 2016 RAM 1600 has the same issue and a recall should be extended to include 2016 models.

There is a problem with the rackin pin power steering. My vehicle steering wheel will just stop turning without a struggle and then kick back in.

The automatic brake system (ABS) module has failed. Warning lights on the dash are for brakes, traction control and automating braking. The lights are frequent but not constant. When lit, the vehicle loses 4 wheel drive and cruise control. Sudden loss of cruise control at highway speeds is a safety hazard. Loss of 4 wheel drive in inclement weather is also a hazard. The truck was inspected by a Ram dealer and the ABS module was identified as defective. This was in June of 2024. As of today the replacement module from Mopar is still unavailable and currently showing “under engineering review” in the manufacturers system. The availability date for the part has been “rolling” since my initial issue in June. The Ram dealership and the Ram Customer Service team cannot provide a solution or a firm date of resolution. There is a recall for the same make and model for newer versions of my vehicle but not my 2016 Ram 1500. The Customer Service rep stated my truck was suitable to drive other than poor weather conditions. The rep did agree that the vehicle was unsafe in this condition.

The ABS module has been out on my truck for almost a year and RAM still hasn't released a part. According to forums on the internet for this year model and others, this has become a common issue. I am driving my truck without the ability to use my ABS system. I have called RAM customer service and my local dealer(s) several times and a part is not available. I can't get a response from my case worker with RAM. This should be a recall issue.

See attached document for complaint.

There was a recall for High Pressure Fuel Pump. Part ended up exploding and debris getting into fuel system, which made engine faulty. Found out just today there is a recall for ABS system, which ABS light has been on for 3 months The vehicle has shut off on the freeway 5 times, always on the freeway which was dangerous. The vehicle has been inspection and worked on by Ram dealership but they cannot find remedy for the vehicle. Yes the engine light was on and the ABS light is on currently. After new engine and PCM was installed the engine light went off but vehicle shut off last night which was (10/17/2024) now there is a red light blinking

I purchased a new 2016 Dodge ram 1500 truck. I recently experienced severe steering issues which resulted and may not being able to control the steering. I had to tow the vehicle to the dealer who told me it would cost approximately $3,500 to have the electric power steering module replaced. Luckily, my steering issues occurred when I was at home and pulling into my garage. I had just gotten back from a trip and was on the interstate. If this issue had occurred on the interstate I hate to think of the problems that could have occurred. I believe that Chrysler should recall these vehicles that have the electronic steering issues or at least pay for the repairs.

The Safety Recall has been on for 2 to 4 years NHTSA # 22V406000 Manufacturer Recall Number Z48 I've got many E mails about repairing the safety recall and No Service available I knew the fuel pressure pump is available please respond it worries me a lot to I may get in an accident

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 15 - 20 MPH and attempting to make a left turn, the steering wheel required excessive force to maneuver. The contact was able to coast to a stop and coasted into a nearby parking lot, using excessive force to maneuver the steering wheel. A certified mechanic confirmed the vehicle was safe to drive. The vehicle was taken to another certified mechanic who was unable to determine the cause of the failure and was referred to the dealer. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to diagnose the vehicle, however, did suggest it may be a software failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 100,000.

Electronic power steering failure, trucks were recalled in 2015 through 2016. However, my trucks EPS part number is not on the recall list. I tried bringing it to Dodge and they wanted over $3000 to repair. Dodge also told me they could not guarantee me. This would fix the power steering, turn off the power steering light in the dash, and no guarantees could be made that replacing the steering column for $3800 would repair the problem! There have been over 2 million recalls on these vehicles for a failure of EPS! Total loss of control of steering, without the assist, it is almost impossible to turn the wheel of the truck, and failure while driving would surely kill the driver and everyone around them! The fact Dodge wasn’t forced to recall these vehicles is absolutely horrifying! The fact, the highway safety control does not force dodge to recall all of these vehicles is completely unacceptable! If my truck is not fixed, I will be filing a class action suit against everyone involved! $50,000 for a truck with no power steering and electric issues, and the highway safety control does nothing to hold Dodge accountable! Please call me at [XXX] if there’s any questions! If I don’t get a response, I will be reaching out to an attorney!

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked, the ABS control module warning light and the braking system warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the ABS control module needed to be replaced. The dealer informed the contact of an unknown recall; however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 126,341.

10/3/2024: 2016 Ram 1500 suddenly lost power steering ability while driving (55 mph), and a red steering wheel icon with an exclamation point warning light came on. We were able to safely get off the road to a parking lot. After the vehicle sat for several hours, no warning light and drove fine. The next day (10/4/24) it happened again, but thankfully it happened in our driveway. It took significant force to turn the wheel, especially when making sharp turns. It was extremely difficult to safely control the truck. I am not sure that an inexperienced driver or someone with physical limitations such as weak upper body strength would have been able to safely control or turn the vehicle. The vehicle has not been inspected by the dealer yet, but it will be soon. We have not driven the vehicle since 10/4/2024 due to this significant safety concern. We are currently contacting our insurance company for assistance with towing to a dealership. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms prior to the failure.

ABS / BRAKE / TRACTION CONTROL/CRUISE CONTROL I am having problems with the list above. I have had my brakes, rotors and abs sensors replaced. Not to mention the dealership (Nyle Maxwell -Killeen, TX) supposedly did thorough check up and also changed out all the brake necessities a few years back. ****I will NEVER take my truck back to them EVER.**** The problem is because of this, I am a hazard to be on the road. My brakes work, but may give out at anytime if too much pressure is applied. This is due to a faulty ABS Module. Through no fault of my own, I'm having to pay out of pocket for a fix that the MANUFACTURER is responsible for. ****Please issue a RECALL on the part. It will save you lives and money in the long haul.**** I've always loved Dodge/Ram Trucks. Please issue a recall.

My power steering is randomly going out. To reset I can pull the electrical cable off the battery and reinstall.

The contact stated that after starting the vehicle, the vehicle lost power steering functionality, and the steering wheel became difficult to turn in either direction. During the failure, the message "Service Power Steering" was displayed. The contact used a code reader to diagnose a low voltage failure to the electronic power steering module. The vehicle was later towed to the local dealer. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The contact was informed that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V167000 (Steering). The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall.

Exhaust flange before the DPF, bolts sheared off and melted my DEF line, dealer replaced the DEF line $826 but made noone aware of the failed flange gasket or bolts

I have very low mileage 34,510 (2016 1500 RAM BIg Horn) on this truck & started to have power steering problems. Without notice the power steering was giving me problems & thought it was something else. Today the same problem came about but I stopped, power steering was almost NONE, had to pull over to the side of the road, turned off truck to reset problem, steering was still tuff but slowly changed ma bit. Drove few miles & afterward getting back into truck it started all over again, steering became difficult to turn & warning light came on/off. I almost crashed/hit another vehicle due to being unable to turn vehicle away. Although I took vehicle 40 days ago for an oil change, dealer did not give any notice on vehicle form of any problems, even thou I had experienced issues before hand. Will contact dealer since its a Pre-Certified purchase.

Power steering completely failed luckily in a parking lot . We took it to the local Dodge dealer and they confirmed the (EPS) electronic power steering module had failed. The entire rack has to be replaced. Some but not all 2105-16 Ram truck had a recall for this exact thing but mine is not one. Now with this same failure i would really like for somebody to take a second look to make sure mine should or shouldn't have been included on this list

Sir/Ma'am, My Ram 2016 Ram1500 has been at the local Chrysler Dealer for approximately three months. The ABS and HCU needs to be replaced, however the dealer is unable to order the parts due to an ongoing engineer review which renews every 29 days. This is the same issue affecting the 2019-2024 models which have now been recalled following an NHTSA investigation which found that -- due to a software malfunction, the anti-lock brake system (ABS) control module may disable the electronic stability control system. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 126, "Electronic Stability Control Systems." I request the NHTSA also initiate an investigation into the 2016 Ram 1500 in order to expedite the recall of this model as well. Thank you.

When driving I lost steering and received dashboard alarm with service power steering. Turned the truck off, when I turned it back on the steering was working. A week later I lost steering again while driving.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle went into LIMP Mode with the checking engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was restarted; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the crank shaft had failed and needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 177,300.

The ABS Control Module for 2014-2016 Ram 1500 trucks I'm getting a C2200 fault code; basically "ABS Module Internal Fault". My truck, like those of numerous other Ram owners, has a malfunctioning ABS Control Module. Because of this malfunction, the ABS and cruise control do not work. In turn, this places me and other owners of this vehicle in an unsafe situation in that lack of an operating ABS system is conducive to skidding and accidents.

ABS control module failed while driving. This also took out cruise control and electronic stability. This can cause brakes to lock up and/or a loss of control in inclement weather.

Power steering locked up while driving. Upon investigation discovered EPS had went out and found there was a current recall on the vehicle but not my specific Vin.

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!

Warning messages stating to service ABS system, as well as service electronic brake system. Warning lights for the ABS, traction control, and parking brake come on on the dash. Usually comes after cold start in cooler weather.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated while operating the vehicle, the message "Service ABS" remained displayed with the check engine and traction control warning lights remaining illuminated. Additionally, while attempting to stop the vehicle, the stopping distance was extended, and the cruise control was inoperable. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the ABS module was faulty and needed to be replaced. The local dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the ABS module was on backorder and unavailable. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 115,000.

ABS system. Says as soon as the vehicle is turned on. "Service Antilock Brake System" Then it Says, "Service Electronic Brake System" Then it says, "Service Trailer Brake System" and lights are on the left gage. 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.

I was driving the truck when the light came on for EBS (Electronic Braking System) and the steering wheel locked up then the truck dash read a warning stating "Service Power Steering". 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. I also have an issue with the exhaust manifold bolts rattling loose separating the exhaust manifold separating from the rear of the engine block at the head. My father owns a 2014 Ram 1500 and had that same issue with his exhaust manifold and I know 3 other gentlemen that had the issue with the exhaust manifold I was wondering seeing as these are common problems with this generation of Ram 1500's if I could have these 3 issues put out as recalls on my specific Ram 1500 because with these common problems I feel like I shouldn't have to come out of pocket to pay for them. Please consider my complaint. Thank you.

I have reached out to Ram dealership on 2025 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90007. I contacted them on April of 2023. I was told by the dept who order the parts that they didn't have them and didnt want to order. I contacted them again and was given the same response. I have not been notified till this date if they have my part to get replaced.

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. This vehicle is used to haul personal items, tow a classic car, and transport family.

The vehicle suddenly started performing very erratically on highway. After inspection the camshaft and lifters are very damaged and the engine is constantly misfiring. I have performed regular routine maintenance on this vehicle its whole life. There is no reason these parts should be damaged unless they were defective from the beginning.

the abs module brake setstem has not been working properly for about 9 to 10 months. when I call to see if dealership they keep telling that their engineers are still working on the problem. the problem can go out anytime. i would like for the NHTSA to investagate the problem. I was told that this problem is a big safety problem.

This vehicle has had an open recall (22V-406) open since June 2022, Dodge Ram still hasn't provided enough parts to the dealers to fix this recall. The parts have been on back order for two years. Considering this vehicle is registered in California, soon this will lead to us not being able to renew our vehicle registration. Dodge Ram needs to produce and provide the parts necessary to remedy this recall, I feel that two years is sufficient time to get this completed.

Drove it to town. When I got back in to go home, the steering was very hard to use.

While turning left out of the school parking lot, the steering wheel locked and prevented any further steering ability while actively driving at approximately 15 miles per hour. The power steering light on the console flashed immediately prior to the event but stayed on while the truck was in motion and then finally stopped. After leaving the truck at rest and turned off for approximately 15 minutes , we were able to unlock the steering wheel and drive the vehicle home. This issue has occurred no less than 5 times in the past year, although previously the steering locked for just a few seconds.

I have experienced a total ABS module failure. According to MOPAR this part is under engineering review and a replacement part cannot be purchased from this corporation whatsoever. MOPAR has refused to state any resolution for this problem and there is no expected due date for this part to be available again. I was told by MOPAR and the dealership where I bought this truck to go to a junk yard and buy a used one. This is complete unacceptible.

Front fuel strap corroded at frame of truck, causing fuel tank to fall while driving on highway

while driving the abs,traction control,brake lites came on,also cruise quit an service abs brake and service trailer brake appeared on dash this happened in april 2024 it does this evertime you crank it after a mechanic lookibg at it an me calling dealerships an looking on line there is thousands of ram trucks with this problem stallantis has known about part defects an stopped the production of it but they are not producing new ones so peoole like me that has only one vehicle are have to drive these unsave vehicle there is a class action lawsuit but it only list 2017 -2018 my truck is 2016 and on ram truck forums there are even 2015 with problem i am stuck with this unsafe truck because i cant sell it when there is no part to fix it

Steering wheel locked up and the dealership stated many of these trucks have this problem, with the rack and pinion system. The part is on back order for 2 months, I would say that is a red flag. This could've been very serious.

electronic powering steering module internal code c2217-00. driving down the road and the power steering stopped working. the issue keeps occuring it will work and then go out. No leaks at the steering rack all connections at rack to are good. electronic info of the module all within normal range. nothing seemed to cause this other than possiblity of a failing eps module or need of recalibration/update.

Vehicle lights on dash show “service electronic braking system”, brake light is on along with traction control light and abs light. Truck has 57k miles on it. Independent service used a code reader to determine abs module is bad. Dealer shows part on continual engineering hold. Due to the fault, no abs and no cruise control. This presents a serious safety concern for me and my family.

Since we got this truck in 2021 it hard starts once it hits half a tank or 200 miles until empty. We have taken it to the mechanic several times just to be told the fuel pump recall was the problem finally got that recall fixed when yall come up with one and it’s still doing it. This recall has been fixed since June 2,2024 and this vehicle barely runs unless kept between 3/4 and full. This needs to be fixed.

The warning lights for the ABS/electrical braking system module has come on with no issue with the vehicle's braking system.This causes the cruise control and anti-skid devices not to work. Upon trying to order a new module through tbe dealership, I have received nothing except the excuse that the release date for this module keeps changing. This has been happening since September of 2023. My concern is that if at some point there is an issue with my braking system I will not know due to the malfunction of the module. 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. My argument is the product they have supplied in my vehicle is defective and they will not make it good by supplying a quality replacement. Therefore, they are putting their customers safety/lives at risk.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was contacted and stated that the manufacturer was only providing one part per year to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

Power steering stopped working

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V411000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) however, the contact was advised by the dealer that the recall was a software update. The contact advised the dealer that the recall was for the reluctor wheel magnetic material delaminating off the wheel. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact was advised by the dealer that the recall was only a software update and had nothing to do with the recall. Parts distribution disconnect.

The electric power steering is increasing making a louder sound over the last several months. No trouble lights on dash. I have detected some steering resistance and has me concerned of failure. My VIN number doesn't qualify for the steering recall. Hoping that steering failure doesn't occur while driving vehicle and that adding this report to NTSB will help broaden the recall to include this vehicle. Inspection of vehicle is available.

Fuel sensor failure, which means my fuel pump needs replacement. The fuel Guage drops to empty even after a fill up. It's impossible to drive not knowing how much gas I have. I have many friends with the exact same issue with their trucks. This is dangerous and should be recalled.

Air ride suspension seems to be an issue in numerous vehicles. The air bags deflate and the vehicle continues to try and inflate all throughout the night which drains the battery. It’s a continuous issue.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated while operating the vehicle, the ABS message had remained displayed, and the cruise control was inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the ABS module was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure and informed the contact that the ABS module was on backorder and unavailable. The failure mileage was 92,000.

On Thursday July 18, 2024 at approximately 5:00pm. I was on my way home from picking my son up from daycare when the screen turned black and my shift knob light (above D letter) began blinking and about 10 seconds later the truck shut off completely. The key wasn’t able to be removed from the ignition. About five minutes later, I was able to turn the key and turn the truck back on. This was a frightening moment because I was crossing over railroad track when this started.

My service ABS Brakes light came on over a month ago. I took it into my service center and they told me they're unable to repair it, because the ABS module needed for it is not available. I took it into the local Dodge Ram dealership today and they told me the ABS module has been on backorder since Sept. 2023. They said they were supposed to have them in hand this past May, then this August. He read me a bulletin that stated the part is now under engineering review and will likely NOT be released until later this year. I live in Virginia, and we have state inspections. This vehicle is used every day to get me to and from work. It's a 2016. With the red brake light on in the dash, I can't get it inspected. I'm now paying for a vehicle I can't drive, can't get repaired, and have no available resources to get another car. Please help!

Engine ticking noise. Concerns about safety due to engine failure.

2016 ram 1500 abs module failed. Known issue. Part still under review and no recall issued. Over $1k to replace for a problem that was known beforehand.

TOOK MY 2016 RAM 1500 TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR ABS LIGHT. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE ABS CONTROL MODULE HAS FAILED AND THEY COULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE THEIR ARE NO CONTROLERS AVAIBLE BECAUSE OF ISSUES WITH THE ABS CONTROL MODULE. THEY TOLD ME TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE YOUR BRAKES COULD LOCK UP AND CAUSE TRUCK TO SLIDE OUT OF CONTROL.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle inadvertently lost motive power, and was not able to be restarted. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer where it was diagnosed that the tone wheel had delaminated and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V475000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The VIN was included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 93,000.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the power steering intermittently malfunctioned, and the steering wheel became difficult to turn in either direction. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The contact was informed that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V167000 (Steering). The contact indicated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 60,000.

In December 2021, my husband, [XXX] and I purchased a 2016 Ram 1500. We currently only have 37,600 miles on it. Last month, my husband brought the truck into the dealership because the ABS light would occasional light up. We were advised that the ABS module needs to be replaced, but the part was backordered and has been for years apparently. On July 11, 2024, I called and spoke to MOPAR RAM representative Kimberly (Case No. [XXX]) and was told all ABS modules for RAMs are under "engineering review" that there was no eta on the parts and that they could do nothing. Obviously we have put very low millage on the truck and only purchased a few years ago. Having an ABS issue is considerably a huge safety concern and renders the truck un-drivable. When I discussed with Mopar's service representative, she said she could do or tell me anything further. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

ABS module / Hydraulic Control Unit failure

Lost steering will not turn it due to the defect electrical unit

This complaint is to acknowledge a problem with my 2016 Ram 1500; I understand that NHTSA is currently investigating the issue. I urge NHTSA to require a recall on this in order to expedite a solution. The following warning lights are present: service ABS system, traction control, check engine, brake (parking brake engaged), check fuel tank cap; the turn signals also blink fast and problem message is present. Inspection is available upon request. The main safety concern is whether or not the brakes are functioning properly. It seems as though the dealer is aware of this widespread issue and the parts needed to fix the issue are unavailable and have been unavailable for an extended time. October 2023 is the date when I had the truck evaluated, if I recall correctly.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds and turning, the steering wheel was difficult to turn. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring while driving and turning. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the contact was informed that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V167000 (Steering). The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 331,000.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle the power steering assist had malfunctioned and the steering wheel became difficult to turn in either direction. After restarting the vehicle the failure had self-corrected but later reoccurred. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic who diagnosed that the Steering Rack and Pinion were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but no assistance was offered. The contact was informed that the VIN was not included in the NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V167000(Steering). The contact indicated that the vehicle had experienced that same failure listed in the recall. The local dealer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 50,000.

While driving, dash board alert notice of shifter requiring service appeared. Message states not to take gear out of "D" until reaching desired location or may not be able to use "D" again. Later Engine, power steering, air suspension, anti skid alerts began to appear is sequence. Cruise control and other electrical feature will not work during alert. Last anywhere between 5 and 30 or more minutes. Happened 2 days ago while on vacation road trip to Gulf. In Gulf shores now. Now I get an email from dealer about purchasing car insurance repair plan. Seems odd on the timing. Please help. Vehicle will restart and go into gears. Power steering may not work for up to five minutes. Have to stop and restart. Sporadic operation. Suspect tactics by dealer repair database to get customers to buy repair insurance or get vehicle into shop/trade for new vehicle. Please help. Do not know if recent CDK hack involves my dealer.

Driving my ABS , traction control light and brake light all came on. Took to Garage and was told it was my ABS module pump control unit and was told part was not available and was under redesign. with no idea when avaiable and that there would likely be long wait when it does. My concern is do not believe safe to drive with all these lights on as if another problem occured in this system a person would not know and could lead to a incedent. I believe there should be a immediate recall on this issue for safety reasons as my research shows the apperance that this is a far reaching and widespread problem

Intermittent and random loss of electric power steering. Fuse coming off of positive battery terminal for power steering is good, and when power steering is working it functions without issue. Without sign or warning service power steering icon will flash on the dash, resulting in complete loss of power steering. This has been happening for 3 days now, and the power steering system has come back and gone back down countless times at random.

2016 Ram 1500 sports with 68k miles power steering failed randomly after never having problem. Was out on a fishing trip in Alaska and was packing up to leave and started the truck and the service power steering come on!Tried turning vehicle off and on but nothing worked and I didn’t have good service so it took me a while to contact family! I’m aware of a previous recall for this model/year but to be at 68k miles and leaving me stranded is terrible will be contacting dealership soon

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the ABS, Emergency Brakes, and Check Engine warning lights remained illuminated. Additionally, while driving at various speeds, the vehicle suddenly switched to LIMP Mode and failed to properly accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the ABS module was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 79,000.

The brake, ABS brake, traction control lights are lit up on the dash. We took the truck to a dealership in March of 2024 to get the truck worked on. We were advised the the ABS Module has went out. The Ram dealership told us that the ABS module in question is under review, and it would be mid June before the review results would be available. We were told that we could still drive the truck, even though the ABS brakes aren't working. We have even asked about pulling our bumper pull travel trailer, and we were told we could also do this. It is now June 20th 2024 and we have yet to get a straight answer about the part being on recall or if everyone with the same issues is going to have to pay for the part that is apparently a manufacturer defect. We are afraid to drive the truck any distance because of this issue. And we definitely will not pull the travel trailer. We are stuck in Mississippi where we went for the winter. We would like to go back home to Oklahoma but we are afraid to drive that far with or without our trailer.

While driving at highway speed the ABS, Brake, Traction control lights illuminated and stayed on I was able to get the truck home and took to the dealer they read the codes and stated that it is an internal failure on the ABS module, he said there are hundreds of these with failures. He said he would see about ordering a new module but the lead time would be 6 to 8 months as the parts are not available from Dodge and some are still in engineering for redesign. This needs to be a recall to get them off their duff and produce parts and replace for customers. The service advisor said would not hurt to drive truck but others online have said it could cause brakes to lock up and is dangerous to drive with this failure.

my 2016 ram 1500 lost power to power steering while driving never regained power back it has been in the shop since may 15 the power steering box has a recall i keep fighting with the dealership i’ve had to pay for rentals since may 22 the part is on back order from mopar makes you wonder why should i have to pay 5k out of pocket for a recall that should be repaired

2016 ram 1500 sway bar stabilizer bar cracked in the recall areas but the dealership won’t fix it for me also another part from mopar that is on back order for 6 weeks

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel). The contact stated that while driving at approximately 30 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was not able to be restarted. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that metal shavings were found in the oil, and an unknown part was replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 84,000.

I have a 2016 RAM 1500. At 50k miles, the ABS light and the brake light came on. The message states “service ABS braking system”. 
I went to NAPA to get the code read and they said that I need the ABS Electronic Brake Control Module and the Brake Fluid Pump assembly replaced and that it could be very dangerous to drive my truck and in fact, if I keep driving the truck without it being fixed it was a danger to myself and others. NAPA called to order the parts and they said that it was back ordered by 3 days. The date of was 5/21/2024. They have NO date when they will have the vital parts to make my truck stop in the manner and condition that I bought the truck. 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. That my truck, that I paid a lot of money for and incidentally is paid off, doesn’t have the vital parts in it to make it stop effectively. I wrote to them to find out about the parts. The response that I got was telling me that the parts are no longer under warranty. I didn’t ask that question I asked when can I get the parts. And they never will answer the question. Why is this not under a number one priority for the safety of individuals and the general public? 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 contact's husband owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while her husband was driving at slow speeds, the vehicle experienced a loss of power steering assist while making a turn. The contact stated that the steering shaft and shaft pinch bolt had previously been replaced; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the steering shaft and shaft pinch bolt were replaced a second time. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V167000 (Steering); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.

The air suspension system on my truck failed while driving at 75 on the interstate last night, causing the truck to lean heavily to the right and disabling electronic braking. It felt like my truck was going to flip and it is nearly undriveable

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle unexpectedly lost motive power and stalled, almost causing a crash. The contact stated the vehicle was able to be restarted moments later. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it remained for the past six months, due to parts not being available. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

I purchased my vehicle 2 months ago and no problems were reported to me. After a few weeks my driver side air bags on my suspension do not inflate. Motor is making sounds and inflating passenger side, but not driver side. Parked truck with the following warning lights on dash (service air suspension & immediate air suspension service/repair required) began contacting dealers with no response back. Even called where it was purchased with no response back either. I was able to get in contact with a dealership and they reported the following: Air suspension compressor /valve block binds/sticks. My vehicle is the main transport for my family and the air suspension deflating while driving is a safety hazard and can cause serious damage if an accident is to occur.

It keeps saying parking light out. The engine light is now on and brakes and suspension are not good. Texas Crown auto sales or Crown auto sales sold me this lemon and I have only made 6 months of payments on it. It goes to the shop and stays at least three weeks every month In 2024. I have pictures and video of everyone that worked on it and sold it to me that they fired already.

I was driving truck to doctors office and the steering wheel would not turn , I slammed the brakes and barely missed a disabled women in the parking lot. A red light started flashing on the dash saying service power steering. Towed to mechanic with scan tool and said it needs a complete power steering rack. The truck only has 37,181 miles on it and is garaged since I had it. The dealer quoted 3400 dollars for repair. Called Chrysler customer service, and they said normal wear and tear. I told them I almost ran over someone and they didn't seem to care.

Vehicle has warning message regarding ABS, Electronic Brake System, and Trailer Brake System, and there is not nothing it can be done because manufacturer does not have part in stock, which restricts vehicle usage due to safety issues. I have tried thru several means to purchase the part without positive results.

While driving my 2016 Dodge RAM 1500 at between 25 and 30 MPH on the street behind [XXX] my steeling wheel locked up - or loss of power steering could not turn the vehicle to the left or right. Also a large emergency light and what looked to be like a steering wheel light flashed on my dash. I stopped turned off the truck where I was and turned on the emergency flashers. Uncertain of what happened I got out of the vehicle to see if something was leaking or if I might have lost a belt. Seeing no issues i got back into the truck and started it again. The steering returned so I drove straight home. I contacted the local Ram dealer service department and they had not heard of this issue. So i google it and found that this was an issue with the 2015 2016 1500 RAM i reached out to Stellantiis and was informed to have the truck towed to the RAM dealer to have the truck evaluated. Which i did I was informed by the dealer that it was the electric steering module was defective I reached out to Ram customer service and they said it did not fall within the VIN numbers for the issue. I have the part saved if needed and I have a video of the dash on the day of the incident but can not upload it.

My ABS/Brake/Traction alarm is lit up on my 2016 Dodge Ram 1500 Big Horn (99.5k miles) and I was notified that the part is not available from Mopar/Dodge. It has been checked out by Firestone and confirmed by them that the part is not available.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 65 MPH and making a turn, the vehicle lost power steering functionality. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact forcefully steered the steering wheel, and the vehicle regained power steering functionality shortly afterward. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring while driving and occurred increasingly while driving at slow speeds. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V167000 (Steering). The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 61,000.

Electronic braking system, traction control system and cruise control are non-operational. This problem affects all vehicles travelling on the road with me. The problem has been confirmed and diagnosed by a dealer. Warning lights on the dashboard are constant, along with "service electronic braking system" on engine start-up. This fault started in November, 2023. The dealership is unable to procure a replacement ABS module. Why is this not a recall issue? This fault prevents the vehicle from passing inspection.

No one has ever fixed my recalls but it says it was done. I’m am getting the occupant light and having electric problems. Also there is leaking around the top break light causing it to leak inside

My electric power steering quits all of the sudden while I'm driving. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. This is a big concern for me considering I have a wife and child who drive with a lot.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 65 MPH, the ABS, TPMS, trailer brake control unit, and traction control warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the ABS module needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but the part to repair the vehicle was on backorder. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

ABS module is not communicating with the vehicle which is a known issue with Ram 1500. No repair parts are available and have not been available from Ram in over a year.

The contact owns a 2016 RAM 1500. The contact discovered the NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V757000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) and the contact was informed that the recall was repaired, however, the failure recurred. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle lost acceleration and there was smoke coming from the engine. The low oil pressure and service throttle control warning lights illuminated. The contact pulled the vehicle to the side of the road and when the hood was lifted the engine was on fire. The contact extinguished the fire with a fire extinguisher at the scene. No fire department was contacted. No police report was filed. No injuries were sustained. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The contact was a certified mechanic and diagnosed the vehicle with ERG failure and a melted hole through the intake manifold. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 156,000.

The Antilock Braking System (ABS) warning light illuminated in approx December 2023, and I took it to the dealership. The dealership service center confirmed that the ABS Module is bad, and requires replacement. The component is still under warranty, so the dealership ordered the module. The dealership stated in December that the component is "on backorder," but should be available by March 2024. It is now April 2024 and I just checked with both the dealership and RAM headquarters, and still no ETA on the part (still on "backorder"). This IS THE BRAKING system! If RAM wanted to do anything about it they could (take parts of a new vehicle, pay more to have one built, etc), but they're doing NOTHING. Again, this isn't AC or the radio... it's brakes, a safety issue. Please help. Thank you.

Abs keeps going in and out due to a faulty abs module control. Thousands of people are having this issue and No parts are being made because they are under engineering review. Meanwhile we are not safe driving with faulty abs modules that the manufacturer is fully aware of.

1. The vehicle has steering issues and is no longer drive able. Steering difficulty began in mid to late August 2023. The steering is now impossible to use and vehicle to l is rendered inoperable. 2. Since purchasing the vehicle I have noticed the transmission is having issues shifting gears. The rpm will be high at speeds of 40-60mph, and the vehicle will only shift to a different gear if I take my foot off the gas pedal for an extended period of time. I had auto mechanic troubleshoot and repair what he thought was a dirty or faulty sensor. Issue continues.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the steering wheel had become very difficult to turn in either direction. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The contact was informed that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V167000 (Steering). The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 180,000.

There was a recall on my 2016, dodge ram eco-diesel for the crankshaft position sensor and tone wheel. I have tried to deal with the manufacture they said this is not in effect anymore, and my vehicle was not in it. I do not understand they recalled certain plants that made certain vehicles. Mine has same motor Same problems only 130,000 miles

Initially while driving the steering wheel would intermittently become stiff. Noticed some difficulty backing into the carport. Yesterday, while driving, the steering wheel became stiff. When going around curves the vehicle would veer off road or into the oncoming lane. Making turns left or right was extremely difficult as there was no steering assist. NHTSA knew about the problem back in 2016, why not inspect all potential threats to life; not just 440 vehicles when a safety risk was known to exist? NHTSA Recall No. : 16V-1

ABS failure resulted in life-threatening failure of the trailer-brake-system, and associated traction and cruise control November 5th 2023 while towing 7,000 lbs on the Interstate. Local dealership was of no help whatsoever (see attached). This is a widely reported issue on various forums.

When driving and making turns, steering wheel will lock up and sometimes try and jerk the in the opposite direction as if to try and straighten itself. “Service Power Steering” warning will pop up on screen for a brief moment and go away. This problem has almost become predictable, happening with a harder turn or when at speed. Never happens when sitting still, rolling steering wheel back and forth. And it happens every day, not just a single incident.

Been inspected by the dealer. ABS modules as with many other owners cannot be replaced due to a lack of inventory on a vehicle less than 10 years old. Abs and traction control lights stay on as well as having the brakes locking up during wet conditions. It’s completely unsafe and too widespread for the company not to have a solution. Much less at the owners dime due to a flawed design.

Loss control while going down the highway, as the traction control is not working, I loss control when the road had a slight hill and curve. It has been a little under a year since my ABS module/control as gone bad. This causes the loss of traction control, ABS braking and other issues. This is a safety concern as the traction control is needed and brakes lock up without the ABS. This is a well-known issue with 2012-2017 Ram's. The main issue is the part is not available to correct the issue which makes this an even more serious safety issue.

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 could possibly make it available for inspection if needed but, I need to get it back in action as soon as possible. Being I have no other vehicle.

ABS and Traction control light is on in the instrument cluster indicating a failure of the anti lock brakes. I took my vehicle to my local Ram dealer and they did a system scan. One of the results was a defective ABS module. I was told by the dealer that a replacement module was not available due to national backorder. They could not give me any date of availability to correct this dangerous failure. I shopped all over for a after market module but was told it was a Ram dealer item only. So I either have to continue to drive my truck without the aid of antilock brakes or try to buy a used module from a scrap yard and see if it will restore my ABS function.

The electronic power steering (EPS) module failed and the vehicle lost all power steering making it unsafe to drive the vehicle. The issue was confirmed after being brought to a Ram dealership to be inspected, the inspection for the vehicle confirmed an "Active" code for C2217. I was told by the dealership that the EPS Module had failed and needed to be replaced, and that the ENTIRE Rack and Pinion MUST be replaced.

Power Steering System Failure Complete Engine Failure Complete Lack of Power Check Engine Light came on March 19, 2024 and the Engine failed within 5 min of it coming on.

While driving at approximately 35 mph, the electric steering just quit working. There was a message on the dashboard that said something like "power steering fault, service needed" I was able to steer the truck with extreme difficulty into a parking lot. Called a tow truck which took 2 hours to arrive. At the time the truck arrived the power steering started functioning again. I had tried starting up the truck multiple times before the tow truck arrived with no luck in getting the electric steering working again. It just magically "fixed" itself. I feel I can't let my wife drive the truck since there would be no way she would have the strength to steer it should the truck loose steering again.

I called dealship to schedule the repair of the "high pressure fuel pump" and was told I would be put on a "waiting list" which would be about two (2) YEARS! this is unacceptable to me. The service girl stated the reason being is they do not have "replacement parts" to do the repair and won't have them for two (2) years. I will continue to drive my vehicle and if it breaks down due to the above mentioned issue, it could be very costly for NHTSA to replace. If all vehicles follow this path, I would surmise this will be devastating to your budget. Please find a remedy to make the part available for repair and save us both time and money. Thank you for your time!

See attached document for complaint

The power steering suddenly and entirely ceased to function with no prior warning whatsoever. Prior to that sudden failure there had never been anything wrong with the power steering or the steering function itself. There were no prior warning lights to the failure. Luckily the failure occurred while pulling out of a parking space at 1 mile per hour. The vehicle could then be steered only with great effort. We had the car towed to a dodge dealer and they said the rack and pinion unit needed replacement. I read online that the NHTSA opened on August 4, 2023 an investigation RQ 23-003 into this exact problem that I experienced. This ODI Resume/Investigation report indicates that this sudden or intermittent power steering failure applies to approximately 1.1 million vehicles of 2013-2016 Ram 1500s.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that upon the start of the vehicle, the steering wheel independently steered to the left and seized in place. The contact stated that steering wheel icon started to flash on the instrument panel with the "Power Steering Service" and "Service Power Steering" messages displayed. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where a diagnostic test was performed. The dealer determined that the Electric Power Steering (EPS) control circuit board had caused a short which resulted in the loss of power steering assist. The contact was then notified of NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V167000 (Steering) however, the vehicle was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 130,900.

Turning left out of my neighborhood, the truck veered right instead. I lost control and ran up into a yard. Mechanic diagnosed rack and pinion. There is a recall but MOPAR States my VIN isn't affected. I beg to differ as we almost lost our lives.

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.

Starting in late winter of 2021, I began to experience several momentary instances of loss of power steering and steering fault messages in the cluster, the steering wheel was nearly impossible to move. In January of 2022, I brought the vehicle to Chrysler/Ram dealership for service of the intermittent power steering. At that time my 2016 Ram 1500 Crew Cab 4x2 had 17,000 miles of use. Dealership stated the fault was a dirty EPS connection. 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. The dealership service department indicated that only a complete replacement of the EPS module/rack and pinion steering assembly would correct the issue. 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. At this time my 2016 Ram 1500 had only 20820 miles.

ABS Service light is on. Brake light also comes on periodically. Replacement part is unavailable. I have been to multiple service locations to have the issue resolved. At this point I'm told by the Dodge Dealer Service people that they cannot order the part until March 20....On top of that the part repair is over $3000. This: 1) is a common problem with Dodge RAMS and many others from what I've discovered in my research 2) Is a safety issue that is not being properly addressed and escalated. 3) Should not be a short supply part if it's a safety component 4) Needs immediate attention by Dodge

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that when the vehicle was started, the steering wheel spun in a circular motion and seized. The steering wheel warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the failure occurred intermittently. The failure persisted and became more frequent. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 129,800.

Abs/Hcu are faulty causing abs and traction control systems to not function causing hazardous conditions while driving

I am very angry that the drivers seat belt on my Dodge Ram Hemi 2016 is NOT working properly. I bought the truck used in the fall of 2016 and I & my family have been the only drivers since then. The truck only has 92,235 miles on it & has NOT been used for towing, work nor has it been in an accident. I use it to do my grocery shopping. In 2023 November, the drivers side seat belt quit locking in place when used & it won't retract. If I have an accident I will go through the windshield. The truck is NOT safe for me to drive and the issue with the seat belt is mechanical. I am getting all sorts of pushback from the customer service of Stellantis, Chrysler, FCA US, Dodge Ram, & Mopar representatives. The response is utterly inappropriate - THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND FOR A TRUCK THAT HAS SO LITTLE MILEAGE ON IT, THEY NEED TO FIX THE SEAT BELT ISSUE IMMEDIATELY - AND THEY WON'T. Mopar seat belts have a reputation for the tensioner & springs to deteriorate w/o any abuse or misuse by the vehicle owner. "The truck has too many miles on it or it's more than 3 years old." To replace the seat belt with a Mopar seat belt will cost me over $900. I have done nothing wrong with the truck and yet Stellantis et al are trying to require me to pay for replacement. Yes I had the seat belt evaluated by a Certified Mechanic just not at the local dealership. I was also informed that this type of issue is typical as well as the response. TO HAVE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT YOU'RE AWARE OF AND YET YOU REFUSE TO RECTIFY IS SIMPLY NOT ACCEPTABLE. I need the NHTSA to start looking at this issue. There are innumerable instances of truck owners OR Dodge owners getting stuck with the same type of situation that I'm in all over the internet. PLEASE HELP ME.

My ABS control module is defective, no replacement parts are available. Antilock braking and traction control does not work. Warning lights are on, malfunction confirmed by independent repair shop.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 65 MPH, the vehicle experienced a loss of power steering assist. The contact pulled over and restarted the vehicle. The contact was able to drive to the residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA Hotline. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V167000 (Steering); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 109,000.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated while operating the vehicle, the front driver's side seat belt malfunctioned and did not properly retract, and the locking mechanism would not click and properly lock to secure the driver. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The local dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 91,500.

The power steering shuts off randomly.

High pressure fuel pump went out. Dealer refuses to repair stating no parts available since 2022. I purchased vehicle used June 2023, did not know it had a active recall that said "do not sell". Pump went out 4 mo later while driving highway speeds, been parked at dealership for 4 months. No loaner, no attempt to repair, no apology, just say cant do a thing about the 2 year old recall. 1. seems bad faith to sell a flawed veh that has do not sell on recall. 2. no offer to trade it back, fix it or give loaner. 3. repair parts are all over internet including Mopar sales has over 2000 available, dealer said they have no parts.

Engine cooling filter housing is bad. There’s a recall for diesel engines but not 3.6 all needs to be recalled

ABS module, traction control, cruise control not working due to failed ABS module. Yes it can be inspected. RAM dealership saying to drive it. Puts myself, my family, and others at risk due to failed braking. ABS is a safety feature that is required in newer vehicles but isn’t working. Dealer confirmed and also by 3rd party mechanic. Yes. 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.

Power steering is going out.

FUEL LEVEL SENSER NOT READING , WENT ON VACATION FUEL WASNT READING AN I JUST FILLED IT UP . TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AN THEY SAID ITS WORKING NOW , AFTER WE WENT ON THE WAY BACK IT STARTED DOING IT MORE AN MORE . AN PLUS THE TAILGATE OPENS ON IT OWN ALL THE TIME

I will be driving and all of a sudden my steering gets really hard. Then it’s good for a little bit and does it again

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.

On the highway at 70mph, vehicle stuttered and lost all power. Engine light came on. On side of road vehicle would turn over but not start. Using code reader got codes cp026 and cp016 indicating low or no fuel pressure. Towed 35 miles to dealer. Discovered next day that fuel.pump had failed and sent debris into the fuel injection system. I have been waiting more than since they notified owners when problem discovered for a remedy as per the recall. Now the HPFP has failed. Waiting on FCA for their solution as this is my only vehicle.

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.

While driving on a highway my power steering stopped working. There is a recall for 2015-2016 Ram 1500 for power steering failure. The recall states, vehicles manufactured in January of 2015 through September of 2015 may be effected. This truck was manufactured in September of 2015. Manufacture says this is not there problem. The fact this vehicle has no power steering greatly increases the risk of myself, my family and of every other motorist on the road, especially during snowing and icy months.

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.

My truck has the electronic steering with just over 130k miles, for some reason the electronic steering will just stop working, but no warning lights come on to the dash. When I take it to have it check it works fine. Then it will quit working again. I've read where thier is a recall on them but the dodge dealership says my truck isn't one of them.

The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. An unknown message was displayed. The contact parked the vehicle, and then the transmission seized in park(P). The vehicle was turned off and failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the high-pressure fuel pump needed to be replaced. The contact was informed that parts were not yet available. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 112,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving in a parking lot, the vehicle lost power steering functionality. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to continue driving while the failure occurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the Chevrolet dealer it was purchased from. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the steering rack needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer, Crystal Lake Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (5404 S Illinois Rte 31, Crystal Lake, IL 60012), and the manufacturer were notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V167000 (Steering). The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

The safety recall for the 2016 RAM Ecodiesel is taking too long. The recall was issued in 2022 and it is now 2024. I want my HPFP replaced ASAP.

I had about 3/4 of a tank of gas. I noticed my fuel gauge go down to empty, and the low fuel light started blinking. It then when back up to about 3/4. It did this a couple of times until it stayed on empty, and the check engine light came on. The next time I started my truck, I got a "Fuel Sensor Fail" notification. I get that every time I start up. When I filled my tank, the gauge began to work again, but I still had a check engine light. I checked my codes, and had a P0463 code, which indicates a fuel sensor fail. I cleared the code, and the gauge worked for about a day and half. When I got to about 3/4 of a tank of gas again, it all happened again. I have about 78,000 miles.

Intermittent loss of powersteering around turns almost causing vehicle to go off road or head on into oncoming traffic

The steering in the truck has gotten a lot more difficult all of a sudden. It is still drivable for now but some turns require additional force. This just happened and as such has not been taken to a garage or dealership. I have contacted FCA to see if the repairs may be covered under the recall for the EPS module if that is what this turns out to be. There were no warning lamps etc. It just got a lot harder to turn yesterday (06/02/2024)

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated the instrument cluster lights were intermittently dim and bright while driving, and the cabin light was inoperable. The contact stated while reversing into a parking spot, the message "Power Steering Failure" was displayed, and the vehicle lost power steering functionality. The vehicle was towed to the residence, where the power steering became functional. Additionally, the contact stated that while making a left turn to park the vehicle, the steering wheel jerked and pulled to the right. The contact was able to pull into the parking spot. The contact stated that while the vehicle was turned off the instrument cluster lights were illuminated and the RPMs revved up. The dealer was notified of the failure and an appointment was scheduled for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not yet diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 73,000.

The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Vehicle ABS system, brake, and towing problem warning lights are on as well as loss of cruise control. I started noticing my cruise control not functioning properly about a month or two prior to total failure. The local RAM dealer in Live Oak, FL. verified problem and admitted this has been an ongoing issue. Replacement parts are not available with a tentative availability date in March. In my research I have found these estimates of part availability to be hopeful guesses. In the meantime I am not able to tow my travel trailer or utility trailer due to this unsafe condition. My vehicle has approximately 82,000 miles on it and for this to be happening to so many of these similar vehicles is unacceptable and Chrysler be held liable for this issue. I cannot safely take my family on vacation with our travel trailer without having use of the trailer braking system. I cannot sell the vehicle like this nor can I afford to buy another vehicle to replace this RAM 1500. Thank you.

POWER STEERING FAILURE THIS TRUCK I BELIEVE WAS MANUFACTURED 12/2015 AND I DO NOT BELIEVE IT WAS RECALLED ORIGINALLY FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT IT HAS FAILED

Several days ago, I started to notice on my 2016 Dodge Ram 1500 (Outdoorsman edition - 5.7L Hemi V8 Engine) that my power steering is working intermittently. At first I thought I was hitting potholes or bumps in the road when turning, but the problem is getting progressively worse. My wife was very scared last night 2/1/2024 when driving the truck because she stated she was having a hard time steering. Driving the truck this morning, I noticed again and more frequently, that the power steering on the truck is working intermittently. Of course, I did what we all do, I Google searched this issue, and saw the NHTSA was doing an investigation on these issues for the 2016 series of Ram trucks, so I thought I would report this issue with my truck to the agency. The truck routinely visits automotive shops and service stations, and nobody has stated there are any issues with the electric power steering system.

Power Steering suddenly partially went out while driving.

My truck is equipped with an air suspension system. During winter weather when temperatures dropped in the low 20's and lower, the air system blows a fuse and drops the suspension to an unsafe position for driving. It has occurred several times including while driving. A warning message sometimes (but not always) a warning is flashed on the screen to have the truck serviced immediately. I have had to cancel important trips to the hospital for my disabled wife because the truck is not reliable during Wisconsin winter weather. My local dealer has inspected and assessed he problem. He has given me an estimate to replace the system but cannot assure me that it will not fail. I called RAM customer service to get a technical explanation of the air suspension problem and solution from the manufacturer who designed and manufactured the product. I called RAM customer service seeking an answer. I cannot justify spending $4000 on something than will not solve the problem. I was not told by the original dealer that I couldn’t drive the truck in Wisconsin winters. There are many people complaining about this on RAM forums and other internet sites. This is obviously a problem and I need a truck that will be reliable to drive safely during winter.

2016 ram ecodiesel engine failure, low oil pressure Vehicle died in heavy traffic Reproduced by dealer, excessive amounts of metal in oil, no one else inspected. Tried to file complaint with manufacturer however they denied my claim case #[XXX]. No support by manufacturer too many miles. This is a known defect with this engine with many warranty claims. No repair parts available back ordered for up to a year. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The ram air suspension keeps failing causing the car to drop to bump stops and mounts around out of control. The suspension on my vehicle has been repaired multiple times throughout the years. And has failed once again during normal driving operations. It has once again been fixed just to fail within days. Then brought back to the dealership just to fail within hours of it being repaired again. There are also multiple complaints on forums and Facebook pages and websites about the failure.

The ABS light and traction control light came on and the cruise control stopped working. Brakes are spongy and require increased peddle pressure to stop. According to dealership the problem is the ABS module. A new ABS module will not be available until May 24.

The below issue is my 2016’s problem, only thing is my truck has a build date of 5/2016. I’ve replaced this two times already, “it’s very expensive” to which I now have a fractured one yet again.

I have had 3 incidents with lose of power steering in the last two months

ABS CONTROL MODULE FAILED. LOSE OF TRACTION CONTROL, CRUUSE CONTROL, AND ABS. DEALER CONFIRMED BY DIAGNOSTIC TEST. DEALER STATED THE CONTROL MODULE HAS BEEN PULLED FROM MARKET BY ENGINEER FOR DESIGN REVIEW. PART IS UNAVAILABLE.

ABS control module failure. Chrysler advised they are not producing replacement parts. Have been unavailable for over a year. Advised part may be available in 4 months but no assurance it will be. No aftermarket option not rebuilt parts. Dealer advised to just drive vehicle. Failure has disabled ABS, traction control, stability control, cruise control and electric trailer brakes making vehicle less safe to operate and incapable of towing. Failure occurred while towing travel trailer in rainy, mountainous conditions.

Power steering has become very stiff when turning while in motion, almost impossible to turn steering wheel when parked. Vehicle is parked due to safety and long wait for repair from Dodge dealer. Pickup is sole vehicle for household, rental not covered by dealership or insurance until deemed undrivable by dealer (per both dealer and insurance company).

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. I'm asking for help form the NHTSA to hold RAM accountable to at least determine if this issue impacts additional trucks.

Approximately five times over six years, my 2016 Ram pickup engine will shut off on its own with no warning. It has always happened on the highway at high speed. This puts others at risk as I must put on hazard lights and coast to a stop with minimal control of the vehicle while other motorists try to avoid hitting me. The instrument lights remain on and once stopped, I can put transmission into park and restart the vehicle. I would allow an inspection at any time, but one has not been done by others yet as it is so random.

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. I have been on forums and there are so many complaints. I have owned Ram/Dodge/Chrysler vehicles all of my adult life. I am questioning buying one in the future and am upset that this repair on a truck with 51000 miles is impossible!

Lack of action on an existing NHTSA recall. FCAUS has failed to act on NHTSA recall 22V-406 for the high pressure fuel pump. Today I contacted the local Ram dealership service department and was told that they do not have a waitlist to fix the issue, or any idea when repair parts will become available. This is 566 days after the recall was announced in June 2022. The inaction of FCAUS/Stellantis is a danger to the livelihood and safety of owners of affected vehicles and the safety of drivers that share the roads with owners of affected vehicles.

My electric power steering keeps going in and out of not working. Does not matter speed one minute it will be extremely stiff and next just fine. I noticed there is a recall for this type of vehicle and issue and my truck was manufactured in August of 2015 which is in the timeline of the recall.

Good afternoon, I have filed multiple complaints regarding recall 22V-406 (11501200, 113003170). It has been over 1.5 years since the recall was issued and there is still not resolution. The NHTSA site mentions if there isn't a fix within a reasonable time, then to contact you again. 1.5 years does not seem reasonable when it comes to a safety hazard. The last update I received from NHTSA was letters will be mailed 12/14/23 and wanted to confirm this timing hasn't slipped.

Abs brake light is on and cruise won’t work with brake light on told by dealer ABS MODULE HAS FAILED manufacturer has no idea when parts will be available This needs to be a recall don’t know if abs brakes will ever work

My 2016 RAM 1500 has been experiencing intermittent electric power steering. system failures, causing vehicle control failure when I try to turn left or right. When I disconnect the car battery, the electric power steering system temporarily works again, but then shows the same symptoms again. I haven't had any accidents with the vehicle, but I've been avoiding taking long trips due to the insecurity of the malfunction of the electric power steering.

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.

Driving down road and truck engine sputtered and lost power eventually completely stalling out. If on a busy highway I could have been hit due to the loss of power at speed. I had it towed to a dealership and they have confirmed it is the High Pressure Fuel Pump that has failed and is under recall. There were no warnings of this failure prior to it happening.

Electric power steering assist failure periodically. Steering hard to turn at times regardless of speed. Issues come and go without warning. No failure lamps or MIL light. Dodge dealer has NOT been informed as of yet. Failure started on October of 2023. During failure charging voltage drops as well.

The contact stated that failure was related to NHTSA Action Number: RQ23003(Steering). The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

I believe my electronic power steering is malfunctioning. There are no indicator lights on the dash but the power steering is difficult to steer. It began intermittently but now is difficult to turn the wheel at all times. My 2016 ram now has approximately 102,000 miles on it. At this point I am unable to use the vehicle because of the loss of power steering.

2016 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7L 4x4 6 speed. Transmission failed at 149000 kms. Highly maintained police fleet vehicle. Never towed any weights. Transmission failed . Both 4th and 5th gear + O/D clutch are bad.

My truck lost power and the engine shut off in the middle of an intersection. I had it towed to my local Ram dealer in June of 2023. It is now November 27th of 2023 and the vehicle cannot be fixed because of the Z46 recall has no parts. I have been in contact with my dealer and they gave me a quote of $13000 to replace the fuel pump with no guarantee I could get reimbursed for these repairs. The recall was scheduled to be out by August of 2023 and was pushed back to January of 2024. That will be 6 months of paying for a vehicle I cannot drive because Ram won't issue a fix for this. The dealer did verify that the fuel pump is the problem.

Same issue as NHTSA is investigating on RAM 2500 is occuring on RAM1500 frequently. ABS computer failure. Warning lights on for ABS, ESC and parking brake. My RAM dealer found defective ABS computer and told me its on back order. My issue popped up in August and apparantly back order is until at least/earliest March of 2024. 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. Clearly RAM is aware of the issue yet has not issued a recall or offered any solution. According to nhtsa own site there are multiple reports of this type failure on RAM 1500s. 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. Should everyone with this issue just not drive vehicle for months on end? Apparantly that is what RAM is hoping for or crossing fingers and hoping crashes/liabilities are minimal? Please step in and drive RAM to issue a recall and push them to expediate a fix. Thanks. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Recall was announced in June 2022, there is still not remedy. I was driving my vehicle when all of a sudden it stalled out in the middle of an interstate. I was able to drift to the median to keep myself and others safe. I had it towed to my dealership and they said they can not fix it, it’s part of the recall. Now I’m here without a vehicle and Chrysler will not do anything about it.

The electric power steering system went out while driving. The truck had been checked for codes that day which indicated a possible need to replace the egr valve but nothing about power steering. I was in a parking lot and was able to pull into a space but was unable to get home.

Im loosing complete steering capabilty on my truck, it’s scary to drive it. I want to know if my truck its one of the one with the posible steering circuit board contamination. almost got into a wreck.

My electronic power steering stopped working without warning. It is only happening when it’s cooler outside. When the weather is warm it hasn’t been an issue. Now that it’s fall it’s happened again. The first time it happened I shut off the truck and restarted it and it was fine for about a month. But now today the problem hasn’t resolved by restarting it. The dash now indicates “service power steering”. The vehicle is not driveable without power steering.

Vehicle will lose all power steering without warning, and in a pattern that I cannot predict. First time it happened I was towing a trailer through the mountains and was in the middle of a curve, nearly causing me to wreck. It then went away after turning the truck off, however it is continuously happening at random moments now and it’s to the point I’ve had to park the truck because of the liability. I have not had it inspected by a shop yet, but will have it done in the near future.

Approximately 6 months ago vehicle started to experience intermittent loss of power steering. Problem would come and go without warning, In the past 60 days problem is no longer intermittent and steering is difficult at all times while driving or parked. Problem seems consistent with that NHTSA Campaign ID Number 16V167000 / Manufactures campaign Number S19.

The ABS light, break light and traction. Control due to either a faulty abs modul or tip computer. Dealers unable to replace until MAY 2024. Concern is the abs breaking and traction control for safe driving. From what I have read this is a common problem that needs to been corrected.

My truck has an abs light warning that came on. When I went to start vehicle the shifter knob (electronic) says it needs service. Cannot drive vehicle. Have towed vehicle to 3 different garages and all say the ABS module needs to be replaced. This part 68295368AC is not available new in the United States. Apparently the part is being redesigned and will be released in April of 2024. The dealership said I could find a used or refurbished one but would not be warrantied if installed. I have been through every junkyard that has a website and every parts supplier. No used part available. I have a truck I cannot drive and the dealership does not provide a loaner and basically said it's my problem. How can a major motor vehicle manufacturer be able to not support it's own product. The truck is a 2016 and I understood the manufacturer had to provide products for 10 years after date of manufacture.

FCA/Stellantis has failed as of 09/06/2023 to provided replacement parts for the high pressure pump under recall 22V-406 continuing to subject diesels under this recall to failure

Front fuel tank strap broke. This is a known issue for Dodge ram trucks. It is the same issue that happened on the 2009 through 2012 Dodge ram recalls. My truck is a 2016 Dodge ram. Has been mostly in Virginia and Ohio over the last 8 years. The strap broke through the chassis due to rust and corrosion. This is a known issue with a lot of Dodge Ram trucks and is something the NHTSA should look into and force the dealerships to issue a recall.

As i was driving the gage cluster went blank and immediately the power steering went out on the vehicle. Very difficult to turn.

electrical power steering keeps turning on causing stiffness at at the wheel. it also causes the vehicle to pull to hard to the right even after alignment. vehicle has been taken to dealership and was quoted over $4000 for parts due to "faulty grounding at motherboard"

RECALL dated June 09, 2022 NHTSA Recall Number 22V-406 VIN: [XXX] 2016 RAM 1500 EcoDiesel . It has been over one year since I received the recall notification. The part is still unavailable. This is a high risk problem, as the safety risk is "fuel starvation which may result in an unexpected loss of motive power, which can cause a vehicle to crash without prior warning." This is grossly unacceptable. This is the first of 2 RECALLS! I would like the manufacturer to BUY BACK this vehicle at a reasonable price. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Nothing happened, yet. The magnetic material attached to the reluctor wheel provides a signal to the crankshaft position sensor. If this signal material is lost, the engine loses its ability to synchronize injector pulses and cam timing. This loss of crankshaft position can result in an engine stall, as well as loss of the ability to restart the engine. Safety Risk A loss of motive power can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. . This is another recall on a new problem. The previous one dated June 09, 2022. These are grossly unsafe. And, again, there is no remedy, no parts available and unknown if or when they will be. . I'd like FCA to buy back this vehicle at the market value it was on June 09, 2022. It's wrong to have to have such serious issues wrong with a vehicle that are dangerously unsafe and potentially deadly.

Power steering will fail intermittently, sometimes for days at a time. Steering becomes difficult at all speeds and failure occurs without warning. Attached is a deposit receipt for 25% of a ram dealer quoted $2,500 steering rack repair for this issue.

The power steering on my 2016 Ram failed and I was unable to move the steering wheel at all. The truck only has 45,000 miles on it! The safety of myself and others were put at risk because I had zero control over my steering wheel since I couldn’t move it. I took it to the Ram dealership to have it looked at. I had to have the entire steering system replaced (steering rack, etc). The dealership had no idea why this happened. They have never seen this issue before and they attributed the issue to a ‘faulty system’. The fix cost me $4500! I contacted MOPAR to see if they’d make this right and they blew me off since my specific Ram does not have a recall currently even though other Rams have had recalls for this exact issue. There weren’t any warning lights until the steering wheel quite moving.

The ABS module failed on my truck and was replaced using an OEM part. The newly installed module worked for a few months, but failed. Upon failure the speed control failed, the ABS light came on and the truck was stuck in the middle of the street where I tried to restart the vehicle. The truck wouldn't shift into drive or neutral to be moved. The truck was unable to be moved and it took multiple restarts to get it able to be driven again. I have tried to get a new part for repair from Dodge (Ram) and they informed me the part is not being sold due to an engineering review being completed by the company that was going through March of 2024. The truck is far too dangerous and unpredictable to drive in this state and there is no way to repair the issue. What recourse is there to have an operational vehicle for use? This alone tells me Dodge knows there is a problem and they are unwilling to do anything about it in the immediate future. This repair is $1,000 to $2,000 every time it is completed.

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.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at at 25 MPH, the steering wheel tightened without warning. The contact used excessive force to untighten the steering wheel; the power steering assist returned to normal operation. The contact replaced the ball joints, inner tie rods, and several other parts in the vehicle after the failure. A year after the initial failure, the contact stated that while driving at 50 MPH, the same failure occurred again without warning. Due to the failure, the contact hit a a curb and damaged the front end of the vehicle. The air bag did not deploy; the contact was not injured. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was towed to his home where it remained in his possession. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V167000 (Steering); however, the manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed him that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 76,000.

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.

Complete loss of power steering. Occasional steering lock and takes a forceful pressure on the steering wheel to allow movement. Service power steering light is flashing on the dash with DTC's indicating module is bad. Loud grinding can be heard when turning left.

Truck shuts off on its own mostly at low speed but in traffic for years Ram told me they could not find a problem. now ram says they know what's wrong but they don't know how to fix. recall (66a) (z46) been trying for years to get this fixed. stalled four times in traffic yesterday. Called Ram and they don't when or if then will be able to fix.

The power steering intermittently goes out. It may work for a few seconds then stop working. Even turning the steering wheel you can feel it come and go. Dodge dealer informed me there are no recalls and I would be charged ??

On vacation 07/29/2023 towing a 4000lb. camping trailer with family in the mountains with weekend traffic when motor dies without warning. Luckily I was able to pull over safely. Was able to restart but died three more times but made it to a gas station where it died completely. We were very very fortunate no one was injured. No local shops open on weekend so had the whole rig towed 137mi. home. On Monday 07/31/2023 I had the truck towed to the dealer where I purchased the truck new. after a week and a half they said the wiring harness needs to be replaced but is no longer available so there is nothing they can do. Massive safety hazard should have a solution. I just learned that Dodge knows about this truck dying without warning but has done nothing.

ANTILOC BRAKING SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING DUE TO A FAILED ABS MODULE

The ABS Module has Failed at 66,829 miles. I just left the Dealership Magic City 1750 Independence Blvd, Bedford, VA 24523 who advised me that they have had other trucks with the same issue. This Part is not available "under engineering review until March, 2024" and the same part has been re-engineered 3 times already. I currently have a warranty that will expire before the part is available.

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 did notice that your organization has opened an investigation on August 5, into a issue at sounds very similar to the one that I’m having . Please let me know if you need any more information. Thank you.

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 engine failed while driving, resulting in the engine shutting off and being unable to be restarted. I was driving at the time of the incident, which could have cause Greta danger to myself, my children, and other drivers. The engine has been inspected by an independent repair shop. When the engine first shut down, a warning light came on.

The component that failed was the air ride suspension. When outside air temperature drooped to 0° then the air ride suspension lowered to the bottom and would not inflate. With this the wheels are out of alignment, tires scrape on fenders when turning and there is no suspension, spring action. I had the truck taken to the Ram repair center, they reset the computer and kept the truck in a warm shop until suspension continued to work. The following week when outside air temperature dropped to 0° the same thing happened. Every year truck suspension goes out. No warning. Where I live the outside air temperature below 0° is common in the winter and can last over a week at a time.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 25 MPH out of the driveway, the steering wheel become firm. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated the steering wheel coupler needed to be replaced. The dealer was contacted and stated that there was no recall for the failure. The vehicle was not repaired due to parts not being available. The manufacturer was contacted but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 80,000.

The Traction control flashed immediately before the wreck so my assumption is there was a traction lock malfunction. The road was wet due to rain. My husband was driving 55 mph when the truck's steering locked and we ended up in the right side ditch where we hit an electric power pole. My husband had several fractured ribs. My right lower arm was broken, required surgery and a week long stay in the hospital. They put a rod with screws into my arm. The truck was totally destroyed according to our insurance company.

I lost my power steering 8/22. I drove a while without it. The steering did not freeze up. I had to wait several months for the part to come in. A non-dealer mechanic repaired the steering. I am reporting this after reading about others who had the same problem.

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.

Hello, On March the 31st, 2023 my husband 2016 Dodge 1500 ECO Diesel Truck serial number 1C6RR7KM5GS326355 stopped working while on a fishing trip returning to Tucson, Arizona . The truck was towed to Globe , Arizona still at auto shop since March 31,2023 , he left it for them to fix thinking he would get his truck in about a week or so. Unfortunately, he was contacted by the dealer Horne Dodge Chrysler Jeep Nissan, Globe , Arizona and found out that it was a recall on a high pressure fuel pump , which to this date July 20.2023 they have not been able to repair. The dealer explained the part is not available and neither are any replacement parts to fix the vehicle fuel pump with an unknown date of service to get the truck back up an running. First of all you need to understand this was my transportation back and forth to work and I had no choice but to go out and purchase another vehicle which put be in a bind financially as I am making to truck payments.

Then a few weeks after purchasing a 2023 Dodge I received a recall notice once again for my new truck I just bought. This is so upseting to me as now I am hoping this truck doesn't quit working on me as still have another truck sitting at the dealer to get repaired from the same recall. My request is resititution for all my payments from VIN# 1C6RR7KM5GS326355 made from March - current date this is resolved and or go ahead and buy the truck back at FMV,or what you would call a " buy back" then you can resale when you figure out and get it fixed. I have called numerous time and your recall customer service have provided me with nothing and gave me various numbers to keep calling. I was told to send in reciepts once resol

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 HPFP on my ecodiesel went out the first half of April. It is currently at a Chrysler dealership and is available for inspection.

They always say parts are not available. Now I am 1000 plus miles from home and stranded because the truck has quit. 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. This almost a year from when I REQUESTED MY TRUCK BE FIXTED. I called CFA this morning and the gave me a [XXX] case # [XXX] and said a case manager would contact me 2 to 3 business days.

ABS,BRAKE AND ANTI SKID INDICATOR LIGHTS ON DASH. Took to brake shop and determined that the ABS module is defective and the system is not working properly they determined that it is a manufacture issue and take to dealer for replacement. Contacted dealer and was told that the issue is widespread and they can not even order replacement part until AUGUST 2023 it is MAY right now. Brake shop reports that the system is not working and cautioned driving until repaired and is a SAFETY CONCERN. Seems to be a problem throughout these years of RAM and feel the manufacture should be proactive in making their vehicle safe to drive. They need to expedite the parts and probably should shoulder some of the costs for knowingly ignoring this issue in their trucks.

At 69,500 miles my fuel pump sensor failed, i have found hundred upon thousands of people complaining that their fuel pump sensor assembly in their 2013-present 5.7l HEMI Ram 1500 series model failing prematurely due to a design issue that is known by RAM for a long time and has never been addressed. i want to a file a formal complaint as this is beyond ridiculous, if this was a known issue why not address it to future owners. instead of installing a flaw design in newer models. it puts people at risk due to now displaying NO fuel levels in the cluster; this unit also potentially could or may control the amount of fuel delivered to the engine and i have seen or read where people got stranded. just do a quick search for ram fuel sensor issue and you will find A LOT i mean A LOT OF complaints. another issue is that my cluster now has my check engine light ON, Thus rendering any other future issue mute as i cannot tell if anything else failed.

Recall announced June 2022, manufacturer was so release fix first quarter 2023, my dealer checked today, no fix from Ram. The dealer has one used vehicle on their lot they can't sell because recall hasn't been done. What are my options?

My RAM has a defect that allows water to enter the cabin, causing foul odors, mold or mildew, electrical system disruption, and rear cabin airbag contamination.

Steering stiffens up and makes it hard to turn at lower speeds. There is a recall on rams from 2015-2019 for this exact problem that being a failure in the EPS system.

There has been no incident yet. This recall (22V-406) has not been addressed in about a year. I feel that the manufacturer is not accepting their responsibility. I have been not using this vehicle very much because of the potential of this shutting down the engine unexpectedly. I'm certainly not pulling my boat to go fishing. If this catastrophic failure occurs a RAM mechanic told me that it would be a total engine rebuild at around $10,000.00. Can the manufacturer be reminded that this recall needs to be fixed ASAP?

Received recall notice Z46/NHTSA 22V-406 July 2022. Had received no update as of May 1, 2023 and called local Ram Dealer (Turpin Motors Dubuque, Iowa). They indicated parts available & would order and call me for appointment. That was a month ago & still no recall appointment made.

I was driving on the highway and my vehicle lost power. I was able to make it home safely. I try to go around the block and as I was accelerating the truck keep loosing power. 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. For the last 11 months I haven’t been able to use my truck.. mean while I keep paying my monthly payments and my insurance. That’s over $7000, plus having to get another car on the meantime until my truck gets repair. I feel I’m left out of options so I’m not sure what else to do.

I was driving down the highway at 75 mph and my truck died in the middle of the highway luckily I pushed it off to the shoulder and it wouldn’t restart had it towed to a shop where I was told the crankshaft tone ring needed to be replaced but no parts to fix it due to “back order” this has been recalled but doesn’t show a fix on my vehicle and it needs to be fixed immediately.

Truck speed by itself with cruise control set to 57 mph. Driving down road and was slowing down to turn and wheel wouldn’t turn without a lot of force.

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???

My truck was fine up until last week and the service steering assembly light came on , and was only on briefly , and then here on Monday, I'm driving on the highway and all of a sudden all my lights start flickering , and No Bus was triggered , I was able to get it back to town and brought it to my local dodge dealer , that has confirmed that the electric steering rack has malfunctioned due to a short on the internal module. So we're wondering if it's potentially a recall for this sort of thing doesn't happen from what they know and I'm told. And as a side note I put my location in Alaska HOWEVER! I'm actually located in alberta Canada and this was the only way ronget my form submitted and everything canadian brings me to nhtsa. Thank you.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel became firm without warning. The contact used excessive force to steer the vehicle. Overtime, the failure became more frequent with an abnormal, clicking noise coming from the steering column. The dealer nor the manufacturer were notified of the failure. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V167000 (Steering) which he linked to the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 116,000.

Truck randomly turns itself completely off without warning losing all control of any power or ability to restart the truck to remove it from the road. Gives a Fuel Sending unit failure error, will not go into eco mode and will not remote start.

there was a recall issued june 2022 and there are still no parts avaiable to repair it. how long in the NHTSA's opinion is a timely manner for repair of a condition that states "may cause a vehicle to crash"? I have a truck that's been sitting, dangerous to drive for 8 months. i called but whoever i spoke with couldn't give me a timeline. if someone who knows could let me kno, i'd appreciate it

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated while approaching a traffic light and depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle independently accelerated. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact continued to depress the brake pedal to the floor and turned off the vehicle and the vehicle stopped.

2 out of 3 bolts that connect the DPF to the SCR have rusted and failed at 108,000 miles (111,000 on the vehicle now). When the final bolt fails the exhaust heat destroys the DEF system resulting in several thousand dollar repairs. This should be covered under a recall for the emmissions control systems. It is a common issue on RAM trucks with the RAM ECODIESEL 3.0L engine.

At about 75,000 miles, the BRAKE, ABS and Traction Control lights on my dash came on intermittently. Shortly thereafter, they said on indefinitely. I have had diagnostics run and the shop confirmed that the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) and/or ABS Control Module has failed. I was told by the Dodge dealership that this is a known issue with Ram trucks of this generation and they have replaced countless HCUs/ABS Control Modules. These failures cause the ABS system to no longer function. It also disables cruise control. I understand NHTSA has already opened an investigation into a similar issue with heavy duty 2017-2018 Ram trucks, but this problem is common among 2016 models AND 1500 (not just the 2500 or 3500). I have encountered innumerable people online with this exact same problem. The dealership wants $2,000.00 for the repair.

Electric power steering stopped working while parked at a stop light. No previous indication that it was going to go out. No dash indicators. Had to drive home with no power steering with my family in the vehicle. No accident caused. Took the vehicle to a dealer where they informed we needed a new pack and pinion. Ordered one through the dealership and waited 4 months for one before having to move out of state. 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. All at which is not my fault. Our vehicle had approximately 90k miles on it when it went out.

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. Our baby’s car seat is behind the driver seat and would definitely have freezing air blasting on her. We live in Wyoming with extreme winter weather. We should be able to feel safe while driving and be able to depend on our vehicle. I have read numerous reports about this same issue happening, but apparently Dodge/Ram has done nothing to help it’s customers with this factory default.

THE RECALL HAS BEEN SINCE JUNE 2022(I THINK) MANUFACTURER RECALL#246, NHTSA RECALL#22V-406(HIGH PRESSURE FUELPUMP) IT WILLBE ALMOST A YEAR ? SINCE THE RECALL ALL THE DEALERS CAN OFFER OR TELL YOU IS NO PARTS AVAILABLE? WHAT IS THE USUAL TIME FRAME GIVEN THESE KNOWN DEFECTS TO BE FIXED? IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE?

Looking to find out how long the manufacturer has to recall my vehicle? Trying to find out when parts will be available. Just to recall a vehicle does not get the known problem resolved. Do I just keep driving it in the hope nothing bad happens?

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.

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

As my understanding is the the fuel pump compones are damaged. Vehicle does now run for too long it turns off. When I was driving it the vehicle turned off. I contacted my insurance to get it towed. It's been at the Dodge dealership since the day it cut off in the highway.

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.

I've been trying for over three years to obtain a repair for severe lag in acceleration in my 2016 Dodge Ram Eco Diesel. It's a critical safety hazard. A recall was issued June 2022, but Dodge continues to say a remedy is not available. Dodge has known about this issue for several years, and still does not have a fix? As I said in my first complaint submitted Jan 2020 (11300317), how many lives will continue to be put at risk because of this issue? Please help.

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.

Driving 40 mph and suddenly motor died warnings for throttle and other flashing but coming around a curve was difficult to steer and stopped on curve and had to be pushed out of the way tried to start to no avail and had it towed to a local dealership where they determined it was a common problem with the tone wheel/ reluctor plate that apparently delaminates and loses part of a magnet on the outside which apparently they is a warranty expressly for this problem for 2014-2018 ram 1500 3.0 eco diesels which I’m being told by the dealership that chrysler says my vehicle is not covered ? Why I don’t understand.

My pickup rebel "leans". My driver side will be down 2 inches (entry mode) on the stops while my passenger side is in (area mode). It's really unsafe to drive. Has left me stranded a handful of times. Brought it into the mechanics with no prevail. Does it when it is below 32 degrees.

1 year only electric power steering rack. Its is starting to leak fluid. Failure is imminent.

Fuel Level Sensor & Pump Fail

Factory 4 corner air suspension empties and truck lowers when cold. The suspension will drop in cold temps while driving. This then cause a very hard drive that is hard to control especially in snow. Truck suspension was fixed 6 months ago to the best of the dealerships ability. The suspension has dropped 3 times this December during snow storms and almost caused me to ditch the truck and loose control. Dealership is giving me the run around. This is not an uncommon issue the the air suspension according to different dodge forums on the internet. Their is something wrong with entire air system including the electrical system that controls the suspension. So the system could be in normal range but it is actually lowered to the ground.

There are thousands and thousands of cases involving exhaust manifold cracks and bolts breaking. This should be a recall 1000% as the aluminum heads heat and cool at one temperature and the cast iron exhaust manifold heat and cool differently, This causes the bolts to break or manifolds to crack creating a leak and a very expensive repair. Please look into this, it is not fair and the manufacturer is well aware of this.

On April 29, 2022 while driving 75mph pulling a trailer my truck (Ram 1500 3.0L Ecodiesel) lost full power and electrical. When taken to the dealership for repair, they found that the crank shaft position sensor tone ring attached to the flywheel had become delaminated and caused the entire truck to shut down. When I inquired about a separate recall NHTSA Recall No. : 20V-475, but was told that didn't include my truck. I believe that FCA did not include all the vehicles possible in the previous recall and are putting people at risk as a result.

I experienced a loss of power while driving roughly 2 months ago while driving on the highway. I took my truck to an independent shop, who diagnosed the problem as a premature failure of the High Pressure Fuel Pump. 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. I have called Chrysler Customer care, who informed me there is no way for Chrysler to help me until the recall parts become available which could take months or years to produce. I also called Ram Customer care and received a similar solution to fulfilling the recall. At this moment in time, my truck is completely immobile. I am without a vehicle to commute to and from work or school. I am a college student that cannot afford to dish out the money necessary to fix my truck, when the problem should be fixed under recall warranty.

The service electronic throttle control keeps coming on despite efforts to correct. The sensor was cleaned but the throttle control warning light continues to come on. The vehicle emissions are too high and impacting the power train. The vehicle loses power significantly and will not accelerate and the electronic throttle control warning light will come on. This issue is dangerous to the wellbeing of drivers as the loss of acceleration could increase risk of collision. Based on reading forums about the 2015-2016 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel is notorious for this occurring. This is endangering the lives of all owners as there is no indication that this is going to occur, and no recall has been issued.

For the time iv'e owned the truck it has stalled out randomly while driving leaving me either in the middle of the street or blocking a drive though. Mostly recently it refused to start leaving work and never started after that. 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. Warning light that would appear all the time was that my fuel injection quantity was lower than expected (P026C) and O2 sensor out of range during deceleration on bank 1 sensor 1(P2297)

Repair made to address Safety Recall VB1/NHTSA 19V-757 failed after 2.5 years. FCA is unwilling to reimburse nor cover the repair saying it was outside of the two year window. This was a SAFETY recall, shouldn't the repair to address last longer?!?

2016 DODGE RAM. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO PARTS BEING UNAVAILABLE TO PERFORM SAFETY RECALL.

My truck has a recall NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 22V406000. The truck will randomly die while on the highway forcing me to pull over 3 lanes with no power at all, then the truck will not start for 5 minutes. I brought the truck to the dealer and they will not fix the problem and told me they don’t have a fix yet and it’s expected late 2023. I use my truck for work to pick up equipment and need it almost on a daily basis. I called Chrysler and they said the same thing. I asked if they would buy it back butthey told me it doesn’t qualify for a buyback. It’s not safe to drive.

I was driving down the highway when my truck suddenly throws its self into park while traveling at 55 mph. My stuck started spinning causing me to bounce off the safety rails on both sides of the highway. My truck took a front end hit to a concrete wall and my airbags did not deploy. Once my truck came to a stop sideways in the middle of the highway it wouldn’t come out of park because it was shut off. I started the truck and placed it in drive and was able to move a few feet from the center of the highway. The truck was towed. No warning lights had went off nothing. I’m having bad neck pain from the residual effects of the accident.

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!!! I hope someone in your agency takes the time to review and research this issue and make FCA/Chrysler liable for repair of this major safety issue.

Fuel pump leaking. Gasoline leaked in garage. I park in a garage and the smell of gasoline extremely strong. Water heater located in garage. Fuel pump replaced on 8/27/2022. No warning lamps or messages.

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.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving at 35 MPH, the vehicle stalled. An unknown warning message was displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle failed to restart after several attempts and was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the vehicle fuel system had failed. The vehicle was repaired. However, the failure persisted. The dealer then informed the contact that the crankshaft position sensor tone wheel was defective. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V475000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that they could not assist as the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

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. Please see recall I am referring to: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2020/RCLRPT-20V475-5815.PDF Time is of the essence for me and if i can be of any help please do not hesitate to call me at [XXX].

I have a 2016 ram 1500 big Ha and the other day that ignition switch went bad on the truck and I’m in New Jersey and I took it to my dealer and they said they can’t get any of the parts for about a month because no dealerships in New Jersey know dealerships on the East Coast or the West Coast have any of these parts the ignition switch that they have all trucks in the same year as me For the same problem and they can’t get the part till next month or two months they have to order it it’s on back order the park the only place that has the part is Clovis Mexico and they only had seven left in stock but if you look into the 2016 ram there’s no recalls on this On the ignition switch in the 2017 ram there is a recall on it and on a 2015 ram there is a recall on the for the ignition switch another 2016 why

Steering is getting hard, worse at low speeds, electric power steering

I was in two separate major accidents and the airbags did not deploy. I got injuries due to this. They have been looked at by shops when repairs were made. No indication before or after of any kind regarding air bags.

I buy the vehicle with a altered odometer, in Puerto Rico. Have a lote of issuse. I have all the ividence to prove it. The place have 2 vehicle more to sale with the same millaje, a ford 150, and a chevrolet. White wiht 60,000miles. I want to know you send a investigation in the place or person. I think other People buy other vehicles whit the same dealer

Cruise control stops working. It is not a fuse per dealer maintenance services. It is the steering column wiring harness for the cruise control and they reported that they see this issue a great deal in the RAM trucks.

The Main as well as Connecting Rod Bearings prematurely failed at approximately 87,000 miles. Please note that the manufacturer warranty on the 3.0 Diesel engines from FCA/Stellantis is 100,000 miles. As the result, I was stranded on the road with horrible sounds coming from the bottom of the engine block and had to get towed. From my research, I found out that the 1st generation of this engine which I believe were installed on Ram 1500s from 2014 to 2016, had major issues with the above bearing failures well below 100,000 mile warranty period.

Remedy is not available

Abs module that controls abs, traction control, and few other areas dealing with brakes has become disabled since 11/21. Not sure what is going on but doesn’t seem to be of any importance to Chrysler and I’m not sure where else to turn. Seems that a safety issue would be of some kind of importance but apparently once you have driven the vehicle off the lot then it doesn’t pertain to them any more. Several attempts with the dealership to get repaired and attempted to contact Chrysler to no prevail…I am no a dealership so I am unable to obtain any information. Asking for assistance in why it’s so difficult for Chrysler to get parts in 8 months. After contacting dealer they are telling me it is no guarantee to get parts before 8/1/22. Brakes…vital for safety on highways wouldn’t you think?

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.

Loss steering while Driving making turn on Freeway. No light indication on Dash ,of failure. Or engine light. No indication of any problem. But no steering. To hard to turn the wheel.

There is a current safety recall W58/NHTSA 20V-475 that covers certain ram trucks. My trucks vin didn't make the list. My trucked stalled on the interstate and the dealer diagnosed it has the tone wheel delaminated. I'm not sure how the vehicle manufacture or you came up with the VIN list but there are multiple vins that didn't make the list and having this exact failure.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated while the vehicle was stationary at a traffic light, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to restart the vehicle after several attempts. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic however, the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 128,500.

ABS brakes and electronic braking system errors, The components and any error codes are available for inspection. When lightly holding the brake at a light I felt the abs activating in the pedal, again twice while driving within minutes from the first. I’m not a mechanic but I would think not having proper control of your brakes is a safety risk. I have not been to a dealer yet because it just happened and reading online forums it seems to be very common on my truck, hence my belief that a recall is needed. It has not been inspected by anyone yet. The warning lights came on for ABS and traction control along with a service ABS and a service electronic braking system messages. Prior to the messages a few sounds (like the seatbelt unbuckled sound) rang and a few seconds later the messages and the “pulling” feeling in the brake pedal.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, the power steering assist failed to operate without warning. The contact stated that excessive force was needed to steer the vehicle while driving. The contact called the dealer and manufacturer and was informed that his vehicle was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V167000 (Steering). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 51,000.

Loss of power steering almost impossible to turn the vehicle. I found this out at highway speed of 70 mph with no warning lights or indicators on the dash h.u.d. Even with certified pre-owned warranty and under 80,000 miles not covered under warranty and spoke with dealership and ram customer care and have been told even though they are aware of the common issue I’m stuck with the bill and they basically don’t stand behind their product.

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.

The contact called on behalf of his son who owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated while his son was was driving approximately 55 MPH and making a turn, the steering wheel became difficult to turn. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer who diagnosed the vehicle with electric power steering assist failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V167000 (Steering). The approximate failure mileage was 89,000.

My 2016 RAM 1500 Laramie Crew Cab 5.7 Liter HEMI engine has an engine ticking sound that is most noticeable when the truck is first started when the engine is cold. The ticking sounds does start to go away after one to three minutes, when the engine temperature increases. The ticking noise happens both in the winter and summer when the engine is cold. This engine noise first became noticeable when the truck was two years old with approximately 30,000 miles. I purchased the RAM 1500 Laramie new on October 5, 2016. I am a former Nissan service technician. I am acutely aware of the importance of changing engine oil and oil filter at the manufacturer recommended intervals. I am VERY diligent about changing the engine oil and oil filter every 5000 miles with Mobil One synthetic or Pennzoil Platinum synthetic 5W-20 oil. As of May 20, 2022, my RAM 1500 Laramie has 76,040 miles. Other RAM 1500 5.7-Liter HEMI engine owners have reporting a ticking sound when the exhaust manifold bolts break. I inspected the exhaust manifold bolts on May 20, 2022, and they are not broken.

Power steering stopped working during operation causing for a Safety issue. Diagnosis is the Electronic Power Steering Control Module, requiring replacement of rack and pinion assembly. Recall 16V167000 from RAM acknowledges this exact issue for 2015-2016 RAM 1500's manufactured between Jan. 22, 2015 and Sep. 13, 2015. HOWEVER, even though my vehicle (VIN: [XXX]) meets these exact identifiers with a Mfg. Date of 9/10/2015 falling into the specified group, RAM is not including my VIN in the recall order. This leaves me paying out of pocket for a known manufacturer defect, rather than being covered by the recall. If this is RAM's position and unwilling to help, while this is my 7th RAM it will also be my last. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Broken exhaust manifold bolts which cause an exhaust leak between the engine block and the exhaust manifold.

Steering wheel or suspension.. I had truck aligned plus 4 new tires and still I can’t drive it straight. The back tires are trying to come around and it pushes me sideways toward on coming traffic so I can’t drive at all. Please help. It sounds like a current recall but my vin isn’t included. He very dangerous to drive it at all

I can’t steer the vehicle even after new tires,alignment , lots of play in steering wheel and it goes where it wants. I can not drive it anywhere

Header bolt has broken off and have exhaust fumes being released from the engine compart that should be going thru the header and out the exhaust pipes. The dealer is aware and wont repair due to out of warranty when this issue is hazard to the people and the environment

Front air suspension failed. This is a problem with these trucks and ram won't do anything....

The electric power steering assist is not working on my 2016 ram 1500 and there is a recall on certain 2015-2016 rams on this issue where the circuit board was contaminated which caused the failure (recall S19) I contacted Ram on this and they told me that my truck is not one of them as it was made in 2015 before they put in the faulty circuit boards. My truck is doing exactly what the recall says happened to the other trucks and how can Ram be absolutely sure my truck did not get one of the bad circuit boards. It was made in 2015 and is a 2016 edition which is what the recall covered. It may be Vin specific but as my truck has the same exact symptoms, I feel this recall should be expanded. The vehicle has not been checked yet but I am told that there are no open recalls on my truck so I feel they will charge me whether it should be recalled or not. there are no warning lamps on . In closing I believe that if my truck has the same symptoms as the recall then the board should be replaced no charge by Ram as it was in the "Vin specific models"

THE POWER STEERING STARTED COMING AND GOING IN LATE OCTOBER 2021. IN LATE JANUARY FIRST OF FEBUARY IT COMPLETELY WENT OUT/STOPPED WORKING. TOOK IT IN TO LOCAL DODGE DEALER, AND THEY DIAGNOSED THAT YES THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS ADVISED OF THE REPLACEMENT COST AND OK'D THE REPAIR AND PART WAS ORDERED. TODATE THE PART HAS NOT ARRIVED (1000 ACROSS NATION ORDERED BUT 18 SHIPPED IN LAST FOUR MONTHS LAST ADVISED) CALLED AND SPOKE TO DODGE AND FILED COMPLAINT 041322, BECAUSE, I'VE RECEIVED NO ANSWERS NO RESPONSE FROM DODGE/CHRYSLER SINCE. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT NEW TO THE MODEL YEAR OF THIS TRUCK. DODGE/CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ADDRESS AVAILABILTY OF PART OR ISSUE RECALL ON THE TOTAL NUMBER OF VEHICLES INVOLVED. THERE IS A RECALL THAT IVE FOUND ONLINE BUT DOES NOT ADDRESS MY VEHICLE THAT HAS LESS THAN 37000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN HELPFUL. I OWN AND HAVE OWNED SEVERAL DODGE/ CHRYSLER PRODUCTS AND JUST VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE MANUFACTURER.

Front differential housing, passenger side half shaft fractured

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 MPH, he attempted to change from the left lane to the right however, the steering wheel did not respond. The contact applied more force to the right and the steering turned in the opposite direction. The contact stated that a red steering wheel warning light was illuminated. The contact stopped in the middle of the roadway due to the loss of steering functionality. The contact had the vehicle towed to his residence. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 124,000.

Air suspension cuts in an out while driving. Causing my vehicle to have zero suspension at highway speeds. Without suspension any little bump in the road is causing the back end of my vehicle to jump around sending me into other lanes. This is a serious issue according to many forums and complaints I have read after purchasing the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 40 MPH, the engine seized and the vehicle lost motive power. The vehicle was towed to the dealer but was not yet diagnosed nor repaired and remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 33,000.

79,000 miles on 2016 Ram 1500 eco 4x4 has differential problems and the back axle. Makes the transmission over heat. Brakes also go to the floor have to double tap on the brakes to stop.

The contact’s friend owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that mechanism securing the driver’s side seat belt to the floor would occasionally seize and detach from the floor causing the seat belt to become unsecured. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.

I noticed about 2 weeks ago that my steering was becoming difficult. I brushed it off at first, but certain cold mornings, it is becoming harder to steer. My steering wheel also requires force to turn it straight after engaging in a turn, it does not assist. I took it to a National Tire and Battery and they confirmed that my Ram 1500 needs a new rack and pinion. They also informed me that no where around has any in stock, or even know if/when they’ll get one. So I am stuck driving a truck where I could lose my steering at any moment. I believe my truck should be a part of 16V-167 recall.

I received a recall letter from FCA for SAFETY RECALL Y63/NHTSA 21V-632 approximately SEVEN months ago. As of today 3/25/2022 a fix is not available according to FCA!!! How can FCA have a recall when they don't have a fix? And how can NHTSA allow FCA to drag their feet on a SAFETY RECALL? I am very disappointed in FCA and MOST of all with NHTSA, to allow a SAFETY problem to exist with out a fix for such a LONG period of time.

Truck vibrates between speeds of 60 and 70 mph. Put new tires on and it made no difference.

While driving, gas gauge dropped to "E", despite having nearly a full tank of gas. Gas light began flashing, check engine light came on, and a "fuel sensor fail" message displayed on the panel. After much research, this seems to be an ongoing problem with Ram 1500 models from 2014-2017.

Was involved in a crash where an SUV ran a red light and out in front of me, I was driving 40mph she was going faster and when we hit her SUV flipped and all her airbags deployed but none of mine did and the whole front was pushed back about a foot also both frame rails were bent and cracked from the impact but none of my airbags deployed and I just bought this truck one month ago and the dealership said everything checked out good and there were no service lights on at the time prior to or after the wreck.

While Driving and power steering quit.

I took the vehicle to the local dealer and they diagnosed a Delaminated Tone Wheel, the same exact issue as described in Safety Recall W68 / NHTSA 20V-475. The claim that my vehicle is not included in the recall. There seems to be no question that the issue of Tone Wheel Delamination is broader in scope that described in W68 and I am petitioning an expansion of that recall to include all vehicles that potentially have this issue.

I took my 2016 Ram 1500 Hemi 5.7 truck in for a frontend alignment to a dealer that has always service my truck since I purchased it in 2017. While there I was informed that I had a exhaust manifold leak and bolts were broken in the block and the cost to repair is 1600.00. After coming home and doing research I have learn this is a common problem in the Ram 1500 Hemi 5.7 that is well documented here on NHTSA as well as the Manufacture and Dealers . If carbon monoxide is escaping into the cab of the truck and you have your windows up and a/c on you are inhaling those fumes. There is no recall and the manufacture has known these bolts breaking causing a exhaust leak for years. This is a major defect that needs to be addressed, No one should be paying $40,000 to 75,000 dollars for a vehicle that has this type of defect that is also health hazard if the fumes are leaking in the cab.

When traveling at speed, the vehicle shudders or bucks as if the engine cuts out briefly, then resumes normally for a few seconds, then does it again. It creates a hazard on the highway as I attempt to move to the side of the road or travel slowly to avoid damaging the vehicle further. I took the vehicle to the local dealer and they diagnosed a Delaminated Tone Wheel, the same exact issue as described in Safety Recall W68 / NHTSA 20V-475. The claim that my vehicle is not included in the recall, because it was manufactured 6/07/2016, which is just outside the date window of included vehicles. There seems to be no question that the issue of Tone Wheel Delamination is broader in scope that described in W68 and I am petitioning an expansion of that recall to include all vehicles that potentially have this issue. Both the dealer and FCA refuse to cover the cost of the repairs at this time.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that upon inspection of the vehicle, he discovered that the oil cooler assembly attached to the oil pump had cracked. The contact also stated that the oil gauge would fluctuate from high to low while driving at various speeds due to the failure. The contact took the vehicle to an unknown dealer where they confirmed the failure; however, the dealer had refused to service the vehicle under warranty. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed him that his vehicle would not be covered under warranty; the manufacturer referred him to NHTSA for assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

I was driving home when a trailer went by and a nut flew off the trailer and damaged my bumper and fog light. When I went to trade in my truck the dealer pulled a Carfax and said my truck was in a collision.Tey lowballed me on a trade .They offered me $25k for my truck when it is worth $40 K,the low balled me beacuse of carfax,which the report was not true.

I was exiting the freeway, sped up from about 55mph to pass a semi before the exit narrowed and my '16 RAM 1500 Ecodiesel just stopped working. I got warning lights one after another, "engine oil low pressure", "electric system" "brake system" basically the whole christmas tree lit up. I was almost hit and probably killed by the 18 wheeler I just passed, coasted to a stop and pulled over. Engine would not start back up. Got towed to a shop. Mechanic found that the "crankshaft tone ring/wheel" had lost some of it's magnetic material and that caused the almost catastrophic shut down. Mechanic found Chrysler safety recall W58 and W68 that are for this exact issue for my exact make, model, year and engine type- so I call RAM/Chrysler and they say it's my problem because my VIN is not subject to these recalls. I asked them if the recall is for this exact issue, for the exact make, model, year, and engine then how do can they refuse to even escalate the issue or look into it. This is a known issue, I almost died and am out a couple thousand dollars. The contact is requesting to be reimbursed $1700 for the repairs.

The back up camera will not work until you start driving forward and randomly comes on while driving. A person or child could be hit by the camera not working. The radio and camera screen go on and off and acts like it is trying to reboot but does not reboot. The dealer recommends replacement at $795 which I will have to pay. My understanding there are active recalls for this on 2019 and 2020 Rams. This recall should be expanded.

My power steering failed. It stopped working while I was driving on a straight road at approximately 45MPH. The wheel was very hard to turn. The power steering did not start working again until I was able to stop the vehicle, shut it off and re-start it. I had the dealer look at it and they can not replicate it, and can not find any coded to tell what has happened. The dealer and FCA have said there is nothing they can do at this time. This is not a problem that I want to wait to happen again as it is extremely dangerous.

I own 2016 Ram 1500 Crew Cab 4x4 SLT Big Horn. I purchased the truck in June 2019 at our local Dodge Dealership in Vinita, Oklahoma with 59k on it. Truck ran fine, did have the Hemi Tick startin until December 20,2021 and the CEL came on. Personally had my husband, CAT Certified Diesel Mechanic run the codes. To witch P062A Circuit "A" Fuel Pump Range/Performance Code was given. Truck was parked and dealership, Vance Dodge Miami, OK was called. Truck taken on December 28,2021. Told the tech before hand while our daughters Nitro was getting fixed when he got my truck to go through it and make sure no other issues. 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. As well as the original owner who I know. My truck is not abused or neglected. I don't put cheap parts on it either, had I had been able to find ARP Manifold Bolts it would have gotten them .. This is getting beyond ridiculous.. Something needs to be done I spent way too much money for my truck to have all these issues. BTW, my truck is paid for I owe $0.00

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.

2016 RAM TRUCK. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO CAST IRON EXHAUST. THE CONSUMER STATED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACKED AND THE BOLTS BROKE OFF CAUSING A LEAK. THE FAILURE OCCURED AT APPROIMATELY 50,000 MILES.

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.

While driving, the vehicle began to decelerate. As the gas pedal was pressed, the vehicle continued to slow down. I had to pull over and get a tow. The truck acted as if it was not getting any fuel. It only has 60,000 miles and is a 2016 Ecodiesel engine. My life was put at risk because it abruptly decreased speed in ongoing traffic. The mechanic found metal shavings in the fuel filter and says the entire fuel system needs to be replaced. The engine light appeared on the dash and the vehicle slowed simultaneously.

The tailgate of the truck does not remain shut. It unlatches and opens while the vehicle is in motion causing potential road hazards to other drivers. Vehicle has been inspected by a local body shop repair but does not show any worn or out of place parts.

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. RAM's reply to me Here's my first reply from RAM regarding Uconnect - doesn't answer the question - see further Hello Christopher Thank you for contacting Stellantis Customer Assistance Center I am seeing that this vehicles Uconnect Connected Services are through Uconnect Access. For assistance with your Uconnect Services, you will need to call Uconnect Access at 1-855-792-4241. This hotline is open 24/7 so you may call at any time. Regards, Maurice Customer Service Representative Stellantis Customer Assistance Center My concern is the T Mobile adapter when plugged into the OBD 2 port on my truck interferes with access to the brake and accelerator pedal. This device sticks our at least 3" under the dash. Why??? Maybe, you could offer a short extension to move the adapter away from vehicle controls. This is a safety hazard.

On Tuesday January 4th 2022 I was driving my vehicle on interstate 10 at approximately 75 mph, as I was driving my vehicle lost all power and shut off leaving me with no brakes or power steering, I coasted to the off ramp. 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. I was dismissed and told they would not speak with me again. After this I believe it is to my best interest to file a safety report with you guys!

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!

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact noticed while the vehicle was parked at a service center that there was gasoline leaking from underneath the vehicle. The contact drove the vehicle to his residence. The contact inspected the vehicle and found a leak in the main fuel line. The contact stated that the fuel line needed to be replaced.

The Power Steering on my 2016 Ram 1500 is starting to act up. The Power Steering is tight when driving my vehicle especially when changing lanes, turning, and parking. I see that there was a recall for the 2015-2016 Ram trucks for Contamination on the electric power steering control circuit board. When I look for recalls on my vehicle there are none listed but my truck is showing all the same signs as this recall states. I have had my vehicle checked out by a licensed mechanic and he also stated that my truck is having the same issues that were listed in the recall. What can I do to have my vehicle repaired under the recall?

Fuel sensor has failed which appears to be a common problem with the 2016 Ram 1500, this is a very expensive fix for people on a fixed income for a part that has a history of failing. The dealer wants to charge in excess of $800.00 dollars for this repair installing the same part they know is going to fail in time. There are many blogs on the internet stating that the part fails at random miles. Imagine being out on the road and running out of gas in the middle of nowhere as you do not have the financial means to get this repaired. This part should be recalled and repaired as other parts are such as the air bag that might explode. This is very concerning for individuals that are paying for this repair. Thank you.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that his wife informed him that the vehicle would not start after driving approximately 200 miles. The contact then drove the vehicle to the dealer and within 125 miles of reaching the dealer, the "contact your local dealer, the problem with the DEF system" warning message appeared on the instrument panel. Once in the possession of the dealer, the contact was informed that three bolts that connected the exhaust to the manifold had broken off causing the failure. The manufacturer was notified and informed him that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The vehicle had been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

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.

I was driving 50 mph down the road, when I started to accelerate (pass) around another vehicle when it just died. Got the check engine light along with oil pressure low warning. Coasted to a stop a ways down the road trying to get off on the side of the road. My 2016 Ram 1500 would not start after that. I put my Bosch code reader on the truck and it flashed P0366 which called out for the Crank Shaft sensor. Had truck towed to local dealer. This looks like it falls under the same recall as W58. In the process of getting the dealership to take responsibility of the situation and file a claim with their corporate office, because my particular VIN doesn't match their records of having this issue.

I took my truck into the shop for an oil change and discovered that the front fuel tank strap bracketed corroded and broke. Thank goodness I took my truck into the shop where the mechanic discovered my tank hanging. This caused me to look up recalls and found this below. I am in Hawaii. How can I get this fixed. March 8, 2018 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V160000 Front Fuel Tank Strap Bracket may Corrode If the fuel tank were to drop and contact the ground, a fuel leak may result. Additionally, in the event of a crash, the fuel tank may not remain secured to the vehicle, possibly causing a fuel leak.

UConnect system freezes up. Black, unresponsive screen, Unable to control the radio, navigation, remote locking, climate control, and other important Safety features such as Back up Camera.

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.

The contact owned a 2016 Dodge Ram 1500. The contact stated that the air bags failed to deploy. The contact stated that when driving at 55 mph in the right lane, a vehicle leaving a gas service station entered the traffic and failed to yield to the right of way, the vehicle entered the contact's lane and the contact was unable to stop and crashed into the vehicle's rear end. The driver's air bag failed to deploy upon impact. The contact's face hit the steering wheel causing the contact injury to the mouth and caused the contact to lose a top and button tooth, the contact's nose was fractured, his face was swollen, and he also suffered injuries to the neck. The contact was taken by ambulance. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard. The contact was advised by the insurance company that the vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 57,000.

Vehicle recently began refusing to accept fuel, nearly stranding me on a road trip with no way to drive it. Tested on multiple pumps/stations and filling positions, and the problem persists. Cannot get more than 1/4 gallon of fuel into the tank without the pump shutting off automatically.

Intermittent half steering power loss, ( I figured it was a weather related) followed by complete loss of power steering over time.

Cam shaft went out in March of 2021. Causes the truck to have sudden lose of power. Purchased RAM brand new in November 2016, wouldn't expect the Engine/Cam shaft to go out before 5 years.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING UNIT LOSS/FAILURE WHILE VEHICHLE IN MOTION. NO WARNING PRIOR TO FAILURE.

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.

Ram 1500 Fuel Sensor malfunctions over time providing an empty reading when fuel level is well above zero. Part is poorly designed and can lead to confusion as to the actual fuel reading. In researching this issue, it appears that many other RAM 1500 owners are experiencing the same issue -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jlJjR2cDck.

While driving the power steering stops working and it becomes difficult to steer. This only lasts for a few seconds then it begins to work again. I started noticing this a couple of weeks ago but it is getting worse the more I drive it. I am concerned that it is becoming a safety concern.

Exhaust components broken (bolts which holding exhaust manifold)

Engine speed surged while pulling into parking space. Bringing to dealer to have checked. No warning, or codes given. $1500 in damages to my vehicle and probably the same to the parked car in front of me. Worried about my safety now with this sudden acceleration.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated while operating the vehicle, the power steering malfunctioned, and the steering wheel was very difficult to turn in either direction.

Exhaust leek from a broken manifold resulted from bad manifold bolts. I am the original owner

Truck was at the dealer for Recalls repairs & Maintenance. After weekend driving to work, engine fire occurred, truck totaled. Per nationwide insurance letter received 7-7 under "next steps" it gave this website to report this to you. I would like to be notified of outcome

I lost power steering while driving. The dealership said I need a new steering rack. Previous recall for this problem , same year as my truck, is said not to fall under the recall.

Power steering, Was driving down the road, when the steering wheel was jersey out of my hand. After pulling over, the power steering indication on dash appeared. I turn of vehical and restarted, steering worked fine. Same incident happened multiple time a few days later as driving down the road. The steering would not be responsive and then work. Now the power steering is out and has not return functional. The vehical has not been inspected as I am afraid to drive to shop and it has almost caused multiple accidents.

While driving my 2016 Ram out of the clear blue I experienced power steering loss when rounding a curve at approximately 40 mph. I thought for sure I was going to collide with the vehicle in the opposite lane but with a hard tug to the right I managed to escape the unthinkable. Not really knowing what just happened and no warning lights illuminated I very cautiously continued my drive to work kinda moving the steering gently left to right to see if it would do it again. From time to time I could feel what seemed to be resistance against the direction I was turning the steering wheel. When I arrived to work I Immediately opened the hood expecting to see a problem with the power steering pump but didn’t see one. I then took it to my mechanic and he informed me that it has electronic steering and suggested I take it to the dealership. I then googled this issue and found it’s a much bigger problem in that Chrysler had a recall for the same problem in 2015-2016...the same period in which my truck was built but not included. 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.

This issue is apperently so well know, it has its own name. HEMI TICK. The bolts on the exhaust manifold break, causing an exhaust leak. The sound of the leak is where the term "HEMI TICK" gets its name.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 19V757000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted and it was confirmed that the part was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact was informed that only one part at a time was sent to the dealers. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

While driving, electric power steering was lost and 'Service Power Steering' warning showed on dash. Steering immediately became difficult which made keeping the truck in the correct lane difficult. When I got home, I disconnected the two electrical connectors to the electric power steering control module, reconnected the two connectors and power steering was restored.

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.

When driving this Ram 1500 with electrically assisted steering it sometimes becomes almost impossible to steer when making a turn. problem is intermittent. i feel this is a safety issue in that i could possibly turn into oncoming traffic which can cause a catastrophic accident putting myself and other occupants at risk.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that the fuel gauge erroneously read that the fuel tank was empty although there was fuel in the fuel tank.

During the failure, the check engine warning light and low fuel warning light were illuminated. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 56,000.

Truck is 5 yes old and the uconnect radio dose not work .tried everything to get it to work it just blinks on and off or gone to a blue screen and then back to the dodge emblem. Called uconnect they say no up dates on it ..

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.

Unknown vibration at highway speeds, have taken to dealer and multiple shops. They all can’t find the problem. Balanced wheels multiple times, Changed wheel bearings, tires to different brand, new wheel they suggested still same problem. This vibration shakes seats and steering wheels at speeds above 65MPH. I see multiple people asking the same question with there rams.

PERSONALLY, JUST 3 WEEKS AGO. MY 3RD ENGINE FAILED. IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE GOING TO PUT A 4TH. I OWN A 2016 ECODIESEL 4X4 BIG HORN. ALWAYS TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER FOR MAINTENANCE AND NEVER DROVE IT ROUGH AND RARELY TOWED. 1ST ENGINE WENT OUT AT 55,747 MILES. 2ND ENGINE WENT OUT AT 112,482 MILES. 3RD ENGINE WENT OUT AT 144,806 MILES EVER SINCE THE 1ST ENGINE FAILURE. I'VE TRIED TO HAVE THEM BUY IT BACK WITH FCA REFUSING EVERYTIME. AFTER THE 1ST ONE. I KNEW THE SOUND YOU DESCRIBED AND KNEW THE ENGINE WAS ABOUT TO FAIL SO I STARTED RECORDING IT IN MY PHONE. NOW I HAVE 2 VIDEO DOCUMENTATION ON 2 SEPARATE FAILURES. LET'S SEE THEM TRY TO EXPLAIN THIS ONE. I'VE HAD A LAWYER INVOLVED NOW BECAUSE THEY DON'T LISTEN TO THE LITTLE GUY, SO NOW I HAVE TO TAKE THEM TO COURT. 2 OUT OF THE 3 TIMES MY ENGINE WENT OUT, I WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND AND HAD TO SWERVE OFF THE ROAD.

I HAVE A 2016 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL. THE COMPUTER WAS REPROGRAMMED TO COMPLY WITH THE EMISSIONS LAWSUIT BROUGHT AGAINST FCA. 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. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO 3 DIFFERENT DEALERS AND MADE COMPLAINTS DIRECTLY TO FCA WITH NO SATISFACTORY ANSWERS TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEMS.

THE WINDSHIELD IS THE ORIGINAL AND NEVER CHANGED SO THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE PAINT DEFECTS ALONG THE WINDSHIELD SEAM AREA SO THAT WHEN THE RUST GOES THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD WILL BECOME UNSTABLE AND POSE A POTENTIAL HAZARD OR COULD FAIL ALTOGETHER. I SPOKE WITH A RAM DEALER WHO WAS UNINTERESTED IN THE PROBLEM. I HAVE CALLED RAM COOPERATE HEADQUARTERS AND REPORTED THE ISSUE. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS.

BROKEN RIGHT SIDE MANIFOLD BOLT. LEAKING AND TICKING. I PAID A LARGE AMOUNT FOR THIS TRUCK, YOU NEED TO RECALL THIS ISSUE THAT THOUSANDS ARE HAVING AND BETTER BOLTS AND/OR MANIFOLD.

MY AIR RIDE SYSTEM HAS FAILED THREE TIMES MAKING THE TRUCK UNUSABLE AND AS I LOOKED INTO IT IT SEEM A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THE TRUCK IS SITTING ON THE FRAME AND CAN NOT BE DRIVEN EVEN A FEW MILES...

I CURRENTLY HAVE MY 2016 RAM LARAMIE IN THE SHOP IN NEED OF A REPAIR TO THE POWER STEERING. WHEN TURNING AND ACCELERATING THE POWER STEERING LOCKS UP AND THE VEHICLE LURCHES. 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. IT STANDS TO REASON THAT THE 16V-167 RECALL EXTENDS BEYOND THE INITIAL SCOPE OF WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY DOCUMENTED, AND THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER ARE JUMPING ON THIS LOOPHOLE. I HAVE NO CHOICE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE, BUT AM IN HOPES THAT AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE 16V-167 RECALL WILL BE MADE AT A FURTHER DATE WHICH MAY PROVIDE ME REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. WILLING TO PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION UPON REQUEST.

AFTER RESEARCHING THIS IS A BIG ISSUE PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING AND COMPLAINING ABOUT AND SHOULD BE A RECALL..DODGE IS DOING NOTHING TO REMEDY THIS FAULTY PART AND STILL CHARGING PEOPLE TO FIX A DODGE PROBLEM.. I WONT EVER BUY A DODGE AGAIN AT THIS RATE.. VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT DODGE IS NOT FIXING THIS KNOWN ISSUE...QUOTED ME OVER 600$ FOR THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY (PART ONLY) THAT I FOUND FOR UNDER 300$ FROM SEVERAL OTHER VENDORS.. JUST NOT FAIR AS A CONSUMER, I EXPECTED BETTER FROM DODGE. I'LL BE LOOKING TO TRADE THIS RAM IN AND WONT PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM DODGE UNLESS THEY RECTIFY, ACKNOWLEDGE AND FIX IT ASAP!!!!!!

WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET 2 RECALLS REPAIRED TO OUR VEHICLE FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. I CALLED THIS WEEK AND THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THEY WERE A YEAR OUT FOR SCHEDULING AND WERE ONLY DOING 1 RECALL REPAIR PER WEEK. MY TRUCK IS RUNNING POORLY (NO ACCELERATION, ENGINE IS STRUGGLING. RUNS OK WHILE STATIONARY BUT STRUGGLES TO OPERATE WHEN MOVING BE IT CITY OR HIGHWAY.) AND WITH ONLY ONE DEALERSHIP AVAILABLE I AM AT A LOSS. WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO?

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR OVER TWO YEARS AND HAVE ASKED SEVERAL TIME TO HAVE RECALL 19V-757 FIXED. I GET THE SAME ANSWER THAT CHRYSLER WILL ONLY ALOW THEM TO GET A CERTIAN NUMBER OF PARTS TO DO THESE REPAIRS. THEY CAN PUT ME ON A LIST TO GET THEM REPAIRED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THERE IS A RECALL IT SHOULD BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY NOT WHEN THEY GET AROUND TO IT. TWO YEARS IS NOT GETTING IT REPAIRED IN A TIMELY MANNER!

OIL COOLER DEVELOPED A MASSIVE LEAK DUMPING AT LEAST HALF THE OIL ON THE GROUND AND ON THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE TRUCK. OIL IS ON THE EXHAUST WHICH CAUSE A SMELL OF BURNING OIL WHICH CANNOT BE SAFE. MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUES WITH THIS ENGINE AND PARTS ARE NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.

AFTER DIESEL EMISSION MODIFICATION TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY ROUGH AND JUMPS VEHICLE WHEN COLD. IT SENDS WHEELS INTO SPINOUT WHEN ENTERING ROADS WHICH CAN BE DANGEROUS. FUEL ECONOMY ALSO FELL FROM AVERAGE OF 23-24MPG TO BELOW 21MPG. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE SHOP 3 TIMES ALREADY. THE SHOP WILL "RESET" THE COMPUTER, BUT THE ISSUE COMES BACK WITHIN A FEW DAYS. NEED A PERMANENT FIX.

TRUCK DIED WHILE MERGING ON TO INTERSTATE. ALMOST REAR ENDED IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. MAGNETIC STRIP CAME APART AND STOPPED SENDING THE SIGNAL FOR FUEL,

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY VEHICLE STALLED. TOWED IT TO SHOP AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT WITH INTERNAL ENGINE FAILURE. A VALVE DROPPED INTO THE MOTOR RESULTING IN THE ENTIRE THING NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 38000 ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO GULF CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP (3781 S MCKENZIE ST, FOLEY, AL 36535, (251)943-5075) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE RELUCTOR WHEEL AND CRANK POSITION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT LEARNED OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V475000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 163,000.

SIDE CURTAIN AND DRIVER SEAT AIRBAG DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 10 MPH AFTER PULLING OUT OF THE GAS STATION. THERE WAS NO COLLISION. I REPORTED THE SITUATION TO RAM AND THEY TOLD ME SORRY ABOUT YOUR LUCK, WERE NOT TAKING CARE OF IT.

I WAS TRAVELING AT 70 MPH AND EXPERIENCED A TOTAL SHUT DOWN, ATTACHED IS THE INVOICE THAT I PAID TO ARRIGO RAM WHILE IN WEST PALM BEACH FLA FOR THE TONE RING REPLACEMENT ON MY 2016 RAM ECO DIESEL 3.0 I HAVE COME TO LEARN THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS EXACT ITEM CALLED W68. FOR SOME REASON MY VIN NUMBER DOESN'T COME UP ON THE RECALL LIST, ALTHOUGH I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE EXACT ISSUE LISTED, AND I OWN THE EXACT VEHICLE NAMED IN THE RECALL. I ALSO PAID FOR A RENTAL THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP WHILE IT WAS BEING REPAIRED. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE ARRIGO SERVICE MANAGER AND HE TELLS ME HIS HANDS ARE TIED WITH REGARD TO REIMBURSEMENT AS MY VIN WAS SOMEHOW NOT LISTED IN THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THIS IS MERELY AND OVERSIGHT AS PEOPLE MAKE MISTAKES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HE WAS AUTOMATIC STARTING THE IGNITION, WHEN HE HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER MARTY CANCILA DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (2175 N HWY 67, FLORISSANT, MO 63033, (314) 831-3300) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AS OF YET. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 110,000.

THE FUEL GAGE INTERMITTENTLY DROPS TO ZERO FUEL WHE THE TANK IS APPROXIMATELY HALF FULL OR LESS. BASED ON NUMEROUS SEARCHES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL ITEM.

I PURCHASED MY USED 2016 RAM 1500 BIG HORN A OF MONTH AGO IN THE END OF JANUARY 2021. IT HAD JUST OVER 70,000 MILES. WHEN I TEST-DROVE THE VEHICLE, IT RAN SMOOTHLY. AT LEAST I DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING ODD ABOUT THE WAY IT DROVE. THE CARFAX REPORT SAID IT HAD FOUR RECALLS, ONE OF WHICH WAS A FLASH/REPROGRAM OF THE COMPUTER MODULE. IT WASN'T LONG BEFORE I NOTICED, LIKE OTHER RAM 1500 OWNERS, THAT IT SEEMED TO LURCH FORWARD WHEN COMING TO A STOP. I ALSO NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES WHEN I LET OFF THE BRAKE, IT WILL IMMEDIATELY LURCH FORWARD BEFORE MY FOOT EVEN GETS TO THE ACCELERATOR. AT ONE INTERSECTION WHERE I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, I BELIEVED THAT THE CAR BEHIND ME HAD REAR-ENDED ME. WHEN I STOPPED TO LOOK AT THE DAMAGE, THERE WAS NONE. I HAD NOT EVEN BEEN REAR-ENDED. 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." THE 'ADAPTATIONS' IS APPARENTLY SOMETHING THAT THE COMPUTER DOES TO ADAPT TO THE DRIVER'S DRIVING HABITS. THEY SAID THAT THE VEHICLE WAS 'USED' TO THE DRIVING HABITS OF THE PREVIOUS OWNER, WHICH IS RIDICULOUS. I SPOKE WITH THE TRANSMISSION TECHNICIAN, WHO ALSO OWNS A RAM WITH THE 5.7L HEMI. HE TOLD ME THAT HIS DOES THE SAME THING, AND THAT "THEY ALL DO IT." HE SAID TO CHECK BACK IN A FEW MONTHS TO SEE IF DODGE HAS DISCOVERED A FIX FOR IT. NOW I AM STUCK WITH A $25,000, THAT HAS A PROBLEM THAT IS PUTTING ALL KINDS OF STRESS ON CRITICAL PARTS AND I HAVE NO RECOURSE.

MY TRUCKS GAS PUMP ICON STARTED FLASHING AFTER THE WARNING DINGER WENT OFF ON MY 2016 RAM 1500 CREW CAB SPORT. I THEN NOTICED MY GAS GAUGE SHOWED EMPTY. I CHECKED MY TRIP METER AND SAW THAT ONLY 86 MILES HAD BEEN DRIVEN SINCE I LAST FILLED UP. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM ANCHORAGE AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PASS . IT WAS LATE, DARK AND SNOWING WITH NO CELL SERVICE AND NO GAS STATIONS FOR MILES, NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS STRESSED OUT UNTILL I HAD MY TRUCK SCANNED THE NEXT DAY, AND THE ACTIVE CODE IS P0463, FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND IT SEEMS TO BE AN INHERENT PROBLEM WITH MANY DODGE VEHICLES, NOT JUST TRUCKS. I FEEL THE COMPANY SHOULD RECALL THEIR INFERIOR PARTS AND ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER HAS ONE IN STOCK FOR $197.90 BEFORE TAXES AND INSTALLATION. PROBABLY AT LEAST 3 HOURS LABOR. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR INVESTIGATING MY COMPLAINT.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS REMEDY NOT AVAILABLE.

FUEL GUAGE READS EMPTY EVEN WITH A FULL TANK.. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WON'T GO OFF DUE TO IT AND THERE IS A HESITATION IN EXCELERATION DUE TO FUEL INCONSISTANCY

AFTER HAVING AN APPROVED EMISSIONS MODIFICATION DONE, WHILE UNDER LOAD THE SCR BOLTS AND FLANGE BROKE, AND AFTER READING THE FORUMS THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO A LOT OF TRUCKS, ALSO CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE GREAT DAMAGE TO DPF ASSEMBLY, HIGHWAY DRIVING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO STOP AND PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT YET DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

ON OCTOBER 24, 2019 NHTSA ISSUED CAMPAIGN NO.19V757000, TO ADDRESS THE RAM 1500 ECODIESEL EGR COOLER MAY CRACK AND CAUSE FIRE. I OWN ONE OF THE RECALLED VEHICLES AND THOUGHT PROMPT ACTION WOULD BE TAKEN BY THE MANUFACTURER. I WAS INITIALLY TOLD THERE WAS A DELAY MANUFACTURING AND SHIPPING THE PARTS. I HAD MY NAME ADDED TO A LIST AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP LAST YEAR. UPON RECEIVING AN "URGENT SAFETY RECALL" NOTICE FROM FCA THIS WEEK, I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT COULD BE UP TO A YEAR (OCT - NOV 2021 TIMEFRAME) BEFORE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO FIX MY VEHICLE. BASED ON ONLINE REPORTS, SOME OWNERS ARE HAVING THEIR VEHICLES FIXED QUICKLY, WHILE OTHER OWNERS, LIKE MYSELF, ARE BEING FORCED TO WAIT A UP TO TWO YEARS TO HAVE THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ADDRESSED. ALLOWING A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD TO BE DRIVEN ON PUBLIC ROADS IS NOT SOMETHING I WOULD EXPECT THE NHTSA TO CONDONE. THIS RECALL, AND OTHER SAFETY RELATED ISSUES (I.E., CRANK POSITION SENSOR FAILURE) WOULD SUGGEST THAT THE NHTSA MUST CONSIDER TAKING MORE IMMEDIATE AND STRONGER ACTIONS AGAINST FCA TO EITHER CORRECT, IN A MORE TIMELY MANNER, OR BUY BACK THESE VEHICLES AND REMOVE THEM FROM OUR PUBLIC ROADS.

I WAS DRIVING ON I 90 IN INDIANA. IT WAS RAINING AND THE ROAD WAS STRAIGHT. THE SERVICE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. A SHORT TIME LATER, I HEARD A NOISE AND SLOWED DOWN TO 50. THEN THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE EXPLODED. THE TIRE WAS RELATIVELY NEW (PAST JULY]) WITH LOTS OF TREAD. I PULLED ON TO THE SHOULDER AND GOT OUT TO SEE THE BRAKE GLOWING RED HOT AND SMOKING. I BELIEVE THE NOISE I HEARD BEFORE THE EXPLOSION WAS THE CV JOINT DISINTEGRATING. TRAFFIC WAS FLYING PAST AT 70 TO 80 MPH. I WAS IN 2 WHEEL DRIVE. THE TRUCK IS A 4X4.

WATER CONDENSATION ON INSIDE OF PASS GER SIDE WINDSHIELD- SUNROOF SEEMS TO BE LETTING WATER COME IN THROUGH THE GLASS SEAL. CHRYSLER ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN HOWEVER MY TRUCK WAS NOT INCLUDED? WATER WILL COME IN VIA THE VISOR AND DURING TEMPS UNDER 50- LITERALLY THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SIDE TO THE MIRROR I HAS A LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER BUILT UP LIKE CONDENSATION. WHEN IT RAINS HARD WATER ALSO COMES IN AND WILL DROP FROM THE SUN VISOR TOO!

I WENT TO PASS ANOTHER CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE THROTTLE(PEDDLE) STUCK FOR SEVERAL SECONDS BEFORE IT BECAME UNSTOCK PUMPING BRAKES DID NOT WORK

CODE P26AB. COOLANT 3-WAY VALVE IS MALFUNCTIONING. CURRENTLY HAVE 50,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL FOR THE 2013-2016 RAM 1500 FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT FOR SOME REASON, THE RECALL DON'T COVER MY CAR EVEN THOUGH IT'S A 2016. WHY DON'T THE RECALL COVER MY CAR?

THE LEFT REAR PARKING BRAKE SAGS I LOOKED AT DODGE FORUMS AND IT LOOKS LIKE THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS ON THIS PROBLEM THE CABLE HANGS SO LOW IT COULD GET HUNG UP ON DOWNED TREE BRANCHES ECT. IT SEEMS THERE NOT RELEASING ALL THE WAY OR SOMETHING

THE REMOTE START WILL START THE TRUCK WHEN FOB IS IN MY POCKET. PROBLEM---THE TRUCK HAS BEEN IN MY GARAGE AND STARTED A FEW TIMES. THIS COULD GAS US IN THE HOUSE! I DID AN INTERNET SEARCH AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT. WHEN IN A CLOSED GARAGE THIS COULD KILL A PERSON OR FAMILY.

MY 2016 DODGE RAM, REAR WINDOW BEGAN LEAKING DURING A HEAVY RAIN. WATER BEGAN RUNNING IN FROM THE TOP, PASSENGER SIDE OF TEAR WINDOW WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. MY SON IN LAW HAS A 2015 RAM. HIS REAR WINDOW HAD THE SAME PROB. WARRANTY FIXED IT. CHECKED INTERNET. SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM.

I HAVE A LEAK IN FRONT WINDSHIELD SEAL, LEFT UPPER CORNER, NEVER HAD ACCIDENT, THE WINDSHIELD WAS NEVER TOUCHED PREVIOUSLY. IT ONLY HAS AROUND 14,000 MILES, MY CAR IS BARELY USED.

AS I WAS DRIVING, AFTER TURNING A CORNER, ACCELERATING ABOUT 40 MPH THE ENGINE VIOLENTLY SHOOK, TRUCK LOST ENGINE POWER. DEAD. AFTER TOWING BACK TO DEALER, THE FAULT CODE INDICATED THE SENSOR RING FAILED (RECALL W58). THAT WAS MID-SEPTEMBER 2020. THE TRUCK WAS IN SAME DEALERSHIP FOR MOST TIME SINCE LAST WEEK OF AUGUST 2020 WITH EMISSIONS PROBLEMS. SO FAR, ALL HAVE BEEN COVERED BY WARRANTY. DEALER HAS PROVIDED ME WITH TRANSPORTATION, BUT I HAVE NOT HAD MY VEHICLE TO DRIVE, WITH NO END IN SIGHT. LOCKWOOD MOTORS MARSHALL MN HAS ALL REPAIR INVOICES, SINCE THEY HAVE BEEN WARRANTY COVERED.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY POWER STEERING SINCE FEBRUARY 2020. WHEN I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER TO REPORT THIS I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. THE RECALL STATES THE VEHICLES ELECTRIC POWER STEERING CONTROL CIRCUIT BOARD IS CAUSING A SHORT WHICH IS RESULTING IN A LOSS OF THE POWER STEERING ASSIST DUE TO THE MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. MY VEHICLE FALLS UNDER THE SAME YEAR OF THE VEHICLES BEING RECALLED. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO AN AUTOMOTIVE SHOP TO GET IT DIAGNOSED SINCE MY POWER STEERING LIGHT IS ON AND THE POWER STEERING CONTINUES TO NOT WORK AND THEY TOLD ME IT IS THE POWERING STEERING RACK THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED PLUS THE CIRCUIT BOARD. THEY TOLD ME THIS IS THE EXACT RECALL THAT IS OUT THERE NOW AND MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I HAVE ALREADY CALLED DODGE CORPORATE AND FILED A COMPLAINT AND HAVE A CASE NUMBER ASSIGNED (#77899413). NOW THE DEALERS DON'T WANT TO WANT TO ACCEPT THE VEHICLE TO DIAGNOSE IT BECAUSE "THIS IS GOING TO BE DUMPED IN THEIR LAPS" THIS WAS EXACTLY WHAT A SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER TODAY. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY MATTER THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKE CARE OF ASAP. I HAVE 4 CHILDREN I AM DRIVING AROUND IN THIS VEHICLE WHICH CLEARLY SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. I AM HOPING TO HEAR BACK FROM SOMEONE ASAP AS I HAVE ALREADY BEEN DEALING WITH THIS SAFETY SINCE FEBRUARY WAITING FOR AN OFFICIAL RECALL NOTICE. IF THIS IS NOT TAKEN CARE OF IN A TIMELY MANNER I WILL BE FORCED TO INCLUDE MY ATTORNEY AND MAKE THIS A LEGAL ISSUE ON TOP OF A SAFETY ISSUE.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE 12/19 TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED IN ACCORDANCE TO RECALL VA7 AND VB1/NHTSA 19V-757. I AM CURRENTLY ON 3 WAITING LISTS FROM 3 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS TO GET THIS SAFETY RECALL FIXED. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY THESE DEALERSHIPS THAT THE PARTS AREN'T AVAILABLE. HOWEVER, I CONTACTED FCA RECALL ASSISTANCE AND WAS TOLD THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. WHEN I RECONTACTED THE DEALERSHIPS WITH THIS INFORMATION, I WAS TOLD AGAIN THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS.

FUEL SENSOR IS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO READ EMPTY ON FUEL AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. WHILE DRIVING THE WARNINGS MAKES NOISE SO YOU TAKE YOU EYES OFF THE ROAD TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOUR VEHICLE.

MY TAILGATE HAS OPENED BY ITSELF 4 TIMES RECENTLY. I CHECK EVERY TIME I CLOSE IT TO ENSURE THAT IT'S CLOSED AND LOCKED PROPERLY. EVERY TIME I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AND IT'S FALLEN OPEN. THIS LAST TIME, I WAS HAULING A TRAILER AND IT OPEN BY ITSELF, GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE TAILGATE LANDED ON THE TRAILER TONGUE JACK AND DAMAGED MY TAILGATE.

SINCE PURCHASING THE TRUCK IN JANUARY OF 2020 I'VE NOTICED A SERIOUS DELAY IN TIME FROM WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS ENGAGED TO WHEN THE THROTTLE RESPONDS. THIS IS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN THE TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN RUNNING FOR MORE THAN 10 MINUTES. I ASSUME SINCE THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT IT WAS OCCURRING BEFORE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. ONE OF MY COWORKERS WHO DRIVES THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL ALSO HAS THE SAME ISSUE.

SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE I NOTICED THE SEALS LEAK DURING PRECIPITATION. I REPLACED THE SEAL AROUND THE UPPER CAB REAR BRAKE LIGHT. THIS STOPPED THE PUDDLE FROM FORMING UNDER THE BACK SEAT BUT THERE IS STILL WATER GETTING INTO THE CAB SOME WAY BECAUSE I CAN SMELL THE DAMPNESS IN THE CAB AFTER RAINY WEATHER.

RECALL VB1 IS NOW OVER YEAR OLD AND NO DEALER HAS BEEN ABLE TO GET PARTS AND COMPLETE REQUIRED SAFETY SERVICE.

FUEL SENSOR FAILURE WARNING FOLLOWED BY NOT SHOWING FUEL LEVEL AND ACTIVATING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.

FUEL PUMP SENSOR FAILURE ON TRUCK, VERY DANGEROUS, I DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN MY TANK, THE FUEL GAGE DROPS TO EMPTY. I AM AFRAID I WILL GET STUCK IN A SNOW STORM AND RUN OUT OF GAS. RAM IS WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE AS IT IS VERY COMMON AND THEY WILL NOT REPAIR FOR FREE.

CEL LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING THE EGR COOLER HAS BASICALLY FAILED, SENDING HOT COOLANT IN TO THE ENGINE. EGR COOLER AND INTAKE ARE TO BE REPLACED UN RECALL VB1. TWO DEALERSHIPS AND FCA ARE SLOW WALKING GETTING PARTS TO CONSUMERS FOR VEHICLES THAT POSE A SEVER FIRE HAZARD WITH RESTRICTING THE MAIN PART TO ONLY ONE PER WEEK PER DEALERSHIP. AT THAT RATE IT WILL TAKE FCA 107,979 WEEKS TO REPAIR ALL TRUCKS, OR 173 YEARS, ALL THE WHILE CONSUMERS ARE LEFT HAVING TO DRIVE VEHICLES POSING A SEVERE FIRE HAZARD.

OUR TRUCK STARTED GIVING US CRANKING ISSUES. IT WOULD TURN OVER CRANK AND IMMEDIATELY DIE. WE WOULD KEEP TRYING AND EVENTUALLY START. AT TIMES IT WOULDNT START. WE WOULD CALL A WRECKER TO GET IT TOWED TO MECHANIC. AFTER IT WOULD SIT WAITING ON WRECKER IT WOULD CRANK. FINALLY AFTER FIGHTING WITH THIS FOR 1 YEAR IT HAS BEEN DEAD FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE IT. IT HAS BEEN AT ANOTHER MECHANIC AND HE HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE EITHER.

I WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND LOST ALL POWER, NOTICED SOME STEAM/SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD, OPENED THE HOOD AND SAW FLAMES. I DID NOT HAVE AN EXTINGUISHER SO I CALLED 911. VEHICLE IS A TOTAL LOSS. IT WAS PART OF THE EGR COOLER RECALL FOR THE RAM ECODIESEL, PART WAS ON ORDER BUT HAD NOT BEEN REPLACED YET. I HAD BEEN ADDING COOLANT TO THE TRUCK EVERY FEW WEEKS , TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THIS BUT THEIR RESPONSE WAS TO NOT LET THE COOLANT LEVEL GET TOO LOW. * (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT) TS

ON JULY 5TH, 2019 I WAS DRIVING DOWN I-95 FROM BEAUFORT SC TO JACKSONVILLE, NC GOING 75MPH. I HAD BEEN USING MY CRUISE CONTROL FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND TRAFFIC WAS PRETTY BUSY BUT I WAS STILL ABLE TO MAINTAIN A SAFE DISTANCE AND CONTINUE USING MY CRUISE CONTROL. AS IT OFTEN DOES IN THE CAROLINAS, IT BEGAN TO LIGHT RAIN SO I ATTEMPTED TO SLOW DOWN MY SPEED. AS I DEPRESSED THE BREAK, I LOST CONTROL OF MY TRUCK, POSSIBLY DUE TO THE BEGINNING OF WATER ACCUMULATION ON THE ROAD, BUT MY CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT COME OFF AND I COULD NOT STOP. I ENDED UP RUNNING OFF THE ROAD, SPINNING 3 TIMES AND FINALLY STOPPING BACKWARDS IN THE TREES SEPARATING 95 NORTH AND SOUTH. DUE TO MY VEHICLE BEING TOO FAR TO TOW, I HAD TO DRIVE IT 200 MILES BACK AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO GET FIXED WITH MY INSURANCE ADJUSTER, THEY PULLED MY BLACK BOX WHICH SHOWED THE CODES C0051-28, C006A-62 AND U0415-00. I WAS INFORMED MY VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 9 RECALLS SUCH AS 18V332000 SO I HAD TAKEN MY TRUCK TO THE DODGE DEALER IN NOVEMBER OF 2018 TO HAVE ALL OF THE RECALLS FIXED. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC WHO FIXED MY TRUCK AFTER MY ACCIDENT, THAT THE CODES WERE SHOWING AN ISSUE WITH MY CRUISE CONTROL WHICH MADE SENSE, SEEING HOW I COULD NOT TAKE IT OFF OR USE MY BREAKS TO SLOW DOWN AND ENDED UP HITTING THE TREE LINE STILL GOING 75MPH AND COSTING OVER $13,600. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THE MANUFACTURER KNEW THAT THE ISSUES ARE STILL OCCURRING.

WHILE MAKING ROUGHLY 90 DEGREE TURNS IN EITHER DIRECTION, THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILED ALMOST CAUSING ME TO WRECK WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. THE STEERING DOESN'T JUST QUIT WORKING, IT'S AS IF THE STEERING WHEEL WON'T MOVE AT ALL. THE TRUCK WOULD BRIEFLY FLASH ON THE DASH 'SERVICE POWER STEERING' AND A CHIME COULD BE HEARD BUT THE CODE WOULD DISAPPEAR QUICKLY. IT DID NOT LEAVE THE CODE IN 'MESSAGES' ON THE DISPLAY. THIS IS A TRUE SAFETY HAZARD WITH SOME RAM TRUCKS ALREADY BEING IDENTIFIED AS HAVING THIS ISSUE. THE STEERING ALSO DOES THIS WHILE SITTING STILL. A PHOTO WAS TAKEN WHILE STATIONARY.

THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE EGR COOLER (VB1/NHTSA 19V-757) FOR ALMOST ONE YEAR. OUR DEALER (LARRY H MILLER RAM) IN SANDY UT KEEPS TELLING US THAT FCA HAS NOT MADE THE PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX THE DEFECT.

WITH GAS IN TANK THE FUEL GAUGE GOES RIGHT TO EMPTY AND THE GAS LIGHT COMES ON IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND WORKS ONLY ONCE IN A WHILE. WHILE DRIVING WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS NEEDLE GOES STRAIGHT TO EMPTY AND GAS LIGHT COMES ON. HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN LAST WEEK. TRUCK HAS 46000 MILES ON IT.

TRUCK STUCK AT HIGH SPEED, UNABLE TO DE-ACCELARATE, TURNED TRUCK TO NEUTRAL AND APPLIED HAND BRAKE TO GRADUALLY STOP. MESSAGE RECEIVED ON TRUCK;" SERVICE THROTLE BODY" MILAGE ON TRUCK 86463. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 60 MHP AND ATTEMPTED TO PASS A SLOW CAR WHEN THIS HAPPEN.

POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST $2,260.72 TO REPAIR. THERE WAS 59,860 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. POWER TRAIN WARRANTY EXPIRES AT 60,000 MILES THEY SAID IT WAS NOT PART OF THE POWER TRAIN. I CHECKED ONLINE AND THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FOR CERTAIN 2016 DODGE RAMS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN 1/22/2015 AND 9/13/2015. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THE SAID THE RECALL WAS VIN SPECIFIC AND MINE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. SURELY SINCE I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM IT MUST BE A DEFECTIVE PART AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED. THEY SAID MINE WAS ASSEMBLED IN JULY OF JULY OF 2016. I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THAT PART WAS BUILT. THE LIGHT FIRST CAME ON WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE THEN THE POWER STEERING DID NOT WORK.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON READING CYLINDER 8 MISFIRE. UPON INVESTIGATION FROM DEALER AND LOCAL REPAIR SHOP, THE ISSUE IS A FAILED CAMSHAFT AND LIFTERS. ALL MAINTENANCE WAS DONE ON THE TRUCK BY THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE TRUCK. TRUCK ONLY HAS 157K MILES AND HAD ZERO ISSUES PREVIOUS TO MY LAST OIL CHANGE AROUND JUNE. TRUCK WAS RUNNING FINE AND THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN STARTED RUNNING HORRIBLE. TRUCK WAS TAKING TO DEALER RIGHT AWAY FOR INSPECTION. TOTAL REPAIR FOR THIS IS $5,500

FUEL SENSOR FAILS AFTER FILLING UP VEHICLE. AFTER FILLING UP TANK THE VEHICLE WILL REGISTER FULL FOR 30 TO 40 MILES. THEN SENSOR WILL FAIL AND READ EMPTY WHICH BRINGS IN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.

COOLANT LEAKING. LEAK COULDN'T BE DETECTED BY ONLY EYES OBSERVATION UNDER THE TRUCK. IT'S UNKNOWN WHERE THE LEAK WENT. FIRST, WE REFILLED THE COOLANT, AND WHEN IT HAPPENED THE 2ND TIMES AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME OF 1-2 MONTHS, WE REFILLED IT ONCE AGAIN, ONCE THE COOLANT TANK WAS EMPTY, BUT ONLY THIS TIME, IT'S A SHORT PERIOD OF 2 DAYS. TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT IT'S A RECALL ITEM, THAT IT HAD BEEN REPORTED SOME OF THE RAM 1500 HAD MYSTERIOUS COOLANT LEAKED. THEY HAD NO IDEA WHERE THE COOLANT GO, THEY SAID IT'S NOT "SAFE" TO DRIVE THE TRUCK. NOW MY TRUCK HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 1.5 MONTHS AND WAS TILL BEING TOLD THAT THE PART HAD NOT ARRIVED. WE NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL WARNING FROM CHRYSLER. LUCKILY THE COOLANT WARNING SIGN IS WORKING. OTHERWISE, WE WON'T BE ABLE TO KNOW AND WE AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS ON THE STREET MIGHT BE EXPOSED TO EXPLOSION.

HAVING AN ISSUE GETTING A RECALL COMPLETED, I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS TO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS OVER THE PAST YEAR TO GET FCA RECALL VB1/NHTSA 19V-757 COMPLETED ONLY TO BE TOLD PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I HAVE ALSO TRIED TO GET FCA RECALL VA7 COMPLETED AS WELL ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY WILL DO IT WHEN VB1 IS COMPLETED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

I HAVE A EXCELLERATION ISSUE WHEN TRUCK IS COLD . THIS MAY CAUSE A ACCIDENT.

I'VE HAD CHRONIC PROBLEMS WITH THE BACK UP CAMERA SYSTEM SINCE I PURCHASED THIS $60,000 TRUCK. RAM HAS REPLACED THE CAMERA 3 TIMES AND DOCTORED THE CONNECTION AN ADDITIONAL TIME AND IT STILL FAILS IN A FEW MONTHS. GIVEN THE SIZE OF THIS VEHICLE, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN IN AN URBAN ENVIRONMENT. NOW THE HEAD UNIT ITSELF HAS FAILED ENTIRELY AT 4 YEARS AND REQUIRES REPLACEMENT.

IN JAN. 2020 I WAS TRAVELING FROM VALDEZ, AK TO WASILLA, AK WHEN A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE DEF SYSTEM. THE DEF WAS FROZEN. I WAS FAIRLY CLOSE TO A FRIENDS HOUSE SO I STOPPED THERE AND WE PULLED THE TRUCK INTO THE GARAGE TO THAW. ONCE IT THAWED THE WARNING WENT AWAY AND THE TRUCK WORKED FINE. BUT NOW I'M CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING MY TRUCK ANY DISTANCE AWAY FROM MY HOME DURING THE WINTER. I OFTEN TRAVEL DURING THE WINTER WHEN THE TEMPS CAN BE -5 TO -30. I BELIEVE THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED, MOST ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO OWN THIS TRUCK AND LIVE IN AREAS THAT DO GET COLD.

TL* THE CONTACT CALLED ON BEHALF OF QUEST BUILDER'S GROUP WHO OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. AFTER EXPERIENCING ANOTHER SIMILAR FAILURE, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V036000 (POWER TRAIN). THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO PAMBY MOTORS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (665 DANBURY RD, RIDGEFIELD, CT 06877) TO HAVE THE VEHICLE SERVICED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON HIS CO-WORKER PICKING UP THE VEHICLE FROM THE DEALER, HIS CO-WORKER EXPERIENCED THE SAME TRANSMISSION SHIFT FAILURE WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED WITHOUT WARNING. HIS CO-WORKER WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER BACK AND HE WAS INFORMED THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAK. CAUSED BY BROKEN STUD/BOLTS TOWARDS THE REAR OF THE ENGINE. FOUR TOTAL, TWO ON EACH SIDE. BROKE CLEAN OFF AGAINST THE HEAD.

I NOW HAVE 4 INCH CRACK IN FLOOR MIDWAY THROUGH VAN

DROVE FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES AT 70-75 MPH ON I-91 IN CT. TRANSMISSION DROPPED INTO A LOWER GEAR AND SPEED WAS DROPPED TO ABOUT 40 MPH BEFORE TRANSMISSION SCREAMING COULD BE STOPPED. GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND HAD THE TRUCK TOWED FROM CT TO MA. PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED AT LOCAL REPAIR STATION AND NO PROBLEM CODE WAS FOUND. IT APPEARS THAT FCA # T15 DESCRIBES THE PROBLEM BUT THIS VIN DOES NOT SHOW A RECALL.

EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) COOLER NHTSA RECALL 19V-757; I'VE BEEN ON A WAITING LIST AT MY LOCAL DEALER IN IDAHO FALLS, ID SINCE JUNE...THE DEALER IS TELLING ME FCA IS LIMITING THE PARTS THEY SHIP, I CALLED FCA AND FILED A COMPLAINT, THE OPERATOR CONFIRMED THEY ARE LIMITING THE PARTS THEY SEND TO DEALERS TO 2 A WEEK...AT THIS POINT MY VEHICLE WILL NOT BE BE FIXED UNTIL EARLY SEPTEMBER...

THE EXHUAST MANIFOLD BOLTS ON THE RH SIDE OF THE ENGINE BROKE CAUSING AN EXHAUST LEAK THAT CAN GET INTO THE CAB WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO GET IT FIXED THE SERVICE WRITER TOLD ME IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE TRUCKS WITH THE 5.7 HEMI ENGINE. HE TOLD ME THAT CHRYSLER FIAT IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM DUE TO FAULTY BOLTS. NOW A YEAR LATER MY LEFT HAND EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS HAVE BROKEN AND I HAVE ANOTHER EXHAUST LEAK COMING INTO MY CAB. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISINING. THIS IS ON EVERY RAM FORUM AS WELL AS I HAVE DISCOVERED. HOW CAN A MANUFACTURE GET AWAY WITH KNOW THEY HAVE A DEFCTIVE PRODUCT THAT CAN KILL SOMEONE. I DONT GET IT.

THE VEHICLE HAS HAD A VIBRATION SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN 2018. THE VIBRATION COMES AT ABOUT 45 MPH AND CONTINUES AS YOU GO UP IN SPEED. HAD THE DEALER LOOK INTO IT WITH NO LUCK, EXCEPT CHANGING MULTIPLE PARTS FOR NO BENEFIT. I REPLACED THE STOCK WHEELS FOR ANOTHER SET OF NEW WHEELS HOPING FOR THE VIBRATION TO GO AWAY AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO FIX THE VIBRATION WITH MULTIPLE ALIGNMENTS AND ROAD FORCE BALANCING. WITH ALL BEING UNSUCCESSFUL, THE NEW WHEELS DID NOT HELP. SO THEN I CHANGED THE TIRES. STILL, NO DIFFERENCE IN THE RIDE. I NOTICED THEY ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS WITH NO ANSWERS FOR THIS ISSUE ON THE NEW GEN RAM 1500'S. THE THING THAT REALLY IRRITATES ME, WHEN A 2006 OLD 2500 WORK TRUCK RIDES SMOOTHER THAN MY 2016 RAM 1500 LARAMIE WITH MORE ADVANCED SUSPENSION COMPONENTS... I LOVE MY TRUCK, BUT WHEN I RIDE IN A CHEVY OR FORD I CRINGE KNOWING THAT MY TRUCK IS NOT AS SMOOTH AND I'M LEFT FEELING LOST AND SECRETLY ANGRY.

SINCE I'VE HAD THE AEM UPDATED AS PART OF THE EPA SETTLEMENT I HAVE DELAY WHEN PRESSING THE GAS AND ACCELERATION, PARTICULARLY WHEN IT IS COLD. THERE HAS ALSO BEEN A SIGNIFICANT MPG DROP ALTHOUGH THAT ISN'T AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY CONCERN. THIS CAN BE A PARTICULAR ISSUE WHEN PULLING INTO INTERCHANGES OR ON TO THE HIGHWAY AS ACCELERATION IS UNPREDICTABLE.

WHEN TURNING TRUCK AT LOW SPEEDS WHEEL BECOMES VERY HARD TO TURN, IF TRUCK IS PARKED A COUPLE DAYS WHEN I TRY TO DRIVE STEERING IS VERY VERY STIFF. ALSO WHEN TURNING AT LOW SPEEDS STEERING WHEEL PULLS IN OPPOSITE DIRECTION ALITTLE

MY 2016 RAM 1500 WILL RANDOMLY LOOSE POWER STEERING. I'LL BE TURNING AND IT GETS REAL HARD TO TURN. I'M THINKING IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE POWER STEERING. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I'M GOING FAST OR SLOW. IT DOES IT QUITE OFTEN. DOESN'T MATTER IF I'M ON THE ROAD OR OFF THE ROAD. IT DOESN'T WHILE I'M IN MOTION OR AT A STOP

WITHIN 1000 MILES OF RECALL WHERE ENGINE CONTROL COMPUTER WAS REPROGRAMMED, I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AT FREEWAY SPEED,, CUTTING ME BACK TO MAXIMUM 40 MPH.FROM POSTED 80 MPH SPEED LIMIT WHICH CAUSED SEVERAL NEAR REAR-END COLLISIONS. ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL ERROR CODE DISPLAYED ON DASH INFO PANEL. DIAGNOSED AS EGR VALVE FAILURE. WITHIN 250 MILES AFTER REPAIRS, THE EGR VALVE FAILED AGAIN,

AIR SUSPENSION COMPRESSOR FAILED WITH TRUCK IN MOTION AND THE VEHICLE SWERVED. VEHICLE NOW SITS AND DRIVES LOPSIDED. TRUCK HAD 59,573 MILES WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE INTERNET IS FULL OF RAM TRUCKS AIR SUSPENSION FAILING IN COLD WEATHER REGIONS OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THE AIR SUSPENSION IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. IT DOESN'T DO ANY GOOD TO REPLACE THE FAILED OEM COMPONENTS BECAUSE THEY JUST FAIL IN A YEAR OR TWO AGAIN. THE SAFEST FIX IS TO REMOVE THE AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM AND REPLACE IT WITH SHOCKS AND SPRINGS.

THE EGR COOLER HAS A STRESS CRACK ALLOWING COOLANT TO GO INTO CYLINDERS, PER THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I LEFT IT. IN DUNDEE, MICHIGAN.

RECALL ON THE EGR. COOLER THE PART FOR THIS IS NOT AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE IS AT A DEALERSHIP IN DUNDEE MI.

MY TRUCK'S ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS ON SNOW/SALT COVERED ROADS. THIS OCCURRED A FEW DAYS AFTER GOING THROUGH A CAR WASH. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 41,000 MILES. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND A CHRYSLER RECALL S19 (NHTSA RECALL 16V-167) WAS ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM. WHEN I CONTACTED CHRYSLER THEY TOLD ME MY VEHICLE FITS THE BUILD DATES FOR THIS RECALL BUT THE RECALL WAS NOT LISTED UNDER MY VIN AND THEY DID NOT KNOW WHY. I CANNOT SAFELY DRIVER MY VEHICLE AND CHRYSLER DOES NOT WANT TO EXECUTE THIS RECALL. PLEASE HELP ME FIGURE OUT WHY THE SCOPE OF THIS RECALL DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL EFFECTED VEHICLES. THANK YOU.

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.

THE POWER STEERING IS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. DANGEROUS WHILE TRAVELING

I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO A DEALER BECAUSE THE EXHAUST SYSTEM WOULDN'T CLEAN ITSELF. I FOUND OUT THERE WERE RECALLS PERTAINING TO THIS AND THEY WERE HANDLED AS FAR AS I KNEW. HOWEVER, JUST A FEW WEEKS LATER AS I WAS PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY AT HOME I NOTICED SMOKE BARRELING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I IMEDIATELY TRIED TO SHUT IT OFF AND WHEN I DID IT WOULD REV UP HIGHER INSTEAD OF SHUTTING OFF. I GOT IT TO SHUT OFF FINALLY AND LEFT IT SITTING THERE OVERNIGHT UNTIL I COULD GET A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOW SO COMMON THAT THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER AND NO IDEA OF WHEN THEY WILL BE ABLE TO GET IT. NOW ITS 3 WEEKS LATER AND I STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN MY TRUCK BACK.

AIR SUSPENSION HAS FOUR LEVELS. IT IS STUCK ON THE LOWEST LEVEL AND RIDES VERY BOUNCY AND JUMPS VIOLENTLY ON ALL BUT THE SMOOTHEST ROAD SURFACE. THE DEALERSHIP ESTIMATES THE REPAIR AT $4000. YOUTUBE HAS MANY PAGES OF PEOPLE WITH SAME PROBLEM.

CLICKING/TAPPING NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE AT COLD STARTS. NOISE GOES AWAY WHEN ENGINE WARMS UP. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER AND PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS BROKEN EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS. SERVICE MANAGE SAID THIS WAS ON GOING PROBLEM WITH 5.7 HEMI ENGINES SINCE 2009. I HAD TO PAY FOR REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER ERROR IN DESIGN. COST WAS $684 TO REPLACE BOLTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CRUSE CONTROL OPERATED INTERMITTENTLY AT FIRST BUT BECAME INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE PAYNE AUTO GROUP DEALER, LOCATED AT 2401 E EXPRESSWAY 83, WESLACO, TX 78596, WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT AN UNKNOWN RECALL WAS REPAIRED PREVIOUSLY.

DURING THE FAILURE THE BRAKING DISTANCE WAS EXTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER JACK PHELAN CHRYSLER/JEEP(5859 S. LAGRANGE RD., COUNTRYSIDE, IL) WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THEN TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY WAS FAULTY. THE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY WAS REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE DEALER LATER REPLACED THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED BUT THE FAILURE LATER REOCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 4,000 MILES LATER. THE VALVE BODY WAS REPLACED FOR THE 2ND TIME AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPROGRAMMED BUT THE FAILURES CONTINUED OCCUR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

VEHICLE JUMPS WHEN COMING TO A STOP. ALMOST PUSHES THE CAR BEFORE IT IS STOPPED. NO TOWING, OR HIGH SPEED. JUST NORMAL DRIVING WHEN IT COMES TO SLOWING DOWN ALMOST TO A STOP AND IT JUMPS, BUCKS, OR PUSHES THE CAR BEFORE REALLY FIRMLY PUSHING THE BRAKES, AND HOPING THAT IT STOPS.

TIPM CAUSING FUEL PUMP TO OPERATE AFTER IGNITION IS TURNED OFF, DRAINING BATTERY, LEAVING FAMILY STRANDED IN REMOTE LOCATION.

WHILE DRIVING HOME, I NOTICED SOME NOISE THAT OUNDE LIKE A TURBO NOISE AND LOOS OF POWER. I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF ENGINE AND POPED HOOD. LOOKE UP AND SMOKE FROM ENGINE. OPENED HOOD AND SAW SMALL FIRE ON REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF ENGINE BY TURBO HOUSING. SOON THE TRUCK WAS TOTALLY ENGULFED BY FLAMES.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000.

IT LOSSES POWER THE EXHAUST FILTER IS FULL EVEN WHEN IT WAS JUST CHANGED IT IS A 2016 ECO DIESEL DODGE RAM 1500

2016 RAM ECODIESEL 60,000 MILES I RECENTLY ACCEPTED THE OFFER FROM RAM FOR EMISSIONS RECALL ON MY ECODIESEL. I AGREED TO IT THINKING THAT WITH THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT THEY OFFERED THAT MY PROBLEMS WOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF. PART OF THE RECALL WAS TO HAVE THE AEM UPDATE DONE TO YOUR TRUCK. 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. I WAS FLOORED WHEN THE SERVICE WRITER CALLED AND SAID THAT RAM IS AWARE OF THESE PROBLEMS BUT THERE IS CURRENTLY NO FIX AND GAVE ME FREE ANTIFREEZE! I COULD UNDERSTAND THIS IF THE TRUCK WAS BRAND NEW BUT IT'S 4 YEARS OLD. THERE SHOULD BE A FIX BY NOW! I AM PAYING $500 A MONTH FOR A VEHICLE THAT MAY OR MAY NOT START. IT MAY OR MAY NOT MOVE WHEN I HIT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND IT STILL USES ANTIFREEZE. I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THIS TRUCK AND RAM NOT HOLDING UP TO THEIR END OF THE DEAL. IF I KNEW WHAT I KNOW NOW I WOULD'VE OPTED OUT OF THEIR OFFER. ALL OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE THE SAME ISSUES AND RAM NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR NEGLECT OF THESE PROBLEMS. MY TRUCK IS A DEATH TRAP!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THE FUEL SENSOR WAS READING INCORRECTLY GIVING FALSE READING AT HALF OF TANK AND WHEN THE GAUGE REACHED ZERO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS OR A MECHANIC FOR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE FUEL TANK WOULD REACH HALF A TANK, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE WHICH THEN WOULD TURN INTO A LOW FUEL LIGHT ILLUMINATING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD THEN IMMEDIATELY READ AS EMPTY.

I NEED HELP WITH A SAFETY ISSUE AFTER RECALL V08 EPA & CARB EMISSIONS MODIFICATION. SINCE THE PROGRAM WAS UPDATED, I HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERE HESITATION UPON ACCELERATION. THIS HESITATION IS SO SEVERE THAT I CANNOT SAFELY PULL INTO TRAFFIC WITHOUT RISKING AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER TWICE SINCE SEPTEMBER 2019 AND HAVE MADE NUMEROUS PHONE CALLS TO THE DEALER AND FCA. I WAS TOLD FROM THE DEALER THAT THE HESITATION IS VERY APPARENT, THAT FCA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AS IT IS WIDE SPREAD, AND FCA IS WORKING ON AN UPDATE TO THE PROGRAM. HOWEVER, THERE IS NOT A TIME FRAME FOR WHEN THERE WILL BE A FIX. AFTER NUMEROUS PHONE CALLS TO THE DEALER AND FCA WITH NO RESOLUTION, I SENT AN EMAIL TO REID BIGLAND, HEAD OF RAM BRAND, BUT HAVE HEARD NOTHING IN RESPONSE. CONSIDERING THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE HESITATION, AND THE POTENTIAL SAFETY RISKS, I FIND THE LACK OF URGENCY TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND NONCHALANT RESPONSES TO MY CONCERNS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. WILL YOU PLEASE HELP ME IN OBTAINING A RESOLUTION TO THIS SAFETY CONCERN? IF NEEDED, I CAN PROVIDE MY SERVICE RECORDS AND THE DETAILED LETTER THAT I SENT MR. BIGLAND

I HAVE HAD MY 2016 RAM 1500 ALIGNED 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS. EVERYTIME I BRING IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAY IT IS WAY OUT OF ALIGNMENT AND CORRECT IT. IN A FEW DAYS THE TRUCK WILL START PULLING AGAIN. ALL HIGHWAY DRIVING.

VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE 2 DAYS AFTER WE RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE VB1. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT HAS BEEN THERE FOR ALMOST 2 MONTHS WITH NO TIME FRAME FOR WHEN PARTS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A PUBLIC ROAD- ROUTE 16 IN PINKHAM NOTCH, NH

PARKED TRUCK. TURNED KEYFOB TO OFF. REMOVED AND LOCKED VEHICLE. NOTICED VEHICLE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. GOT BACK IN AND TRIED TURNING OFF AGAIN. DIDN'T WORK. HAD TO DRIVE FOR SHORT DISTANCE. TRIED AGAIN. WORKED.

THE EPA REQUIRED UPDATE TO MY 2016 RAM 1500 ECO DIESEL HAS CAUSED TWO ISSUES AND THE FIRST IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE AFFECTING THOUSANDS OF ECO DIESEL OWNERS. AFTER THE UPDATE TO THE EGR THE TRUCK HAS A COLD LAG IN TAKE OFF OF UP TO 7 SECONDS WHICH COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. THE SECOND ISSUE IS THE LOSS OF 4 MPG FUEL ECONOMY. WE THE OWNERS ARE REQUESTING THAT CHRYSLER RETURN THE VEHICLES BACK TO THE OLD PROGRAMMING UNTIL A FIX CAN BE DEVELOPED. I AM AFRAID SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED BEFORE THE ISSUE IS ADDRESSES. CAN YOU HELP US IN THIS MATTER?

ON 01/06/2020 I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION IN MY 2016 RAM 1500 EXPRESS ( 38,000 MILES ) AND AS I APPLIED THE BRAKE , THE PEDDLE WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR . 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 FOUND THE CALIPER TO BE IN GREAT CONDITION , GUIDE PINS / RACES TO ALL BE IN GREAT SMOOTH WORKING ORDER , AND WHEN I PRESSED THE PISTON BACK IN NOTICED GOOD SMOOTH OPERATION, ALL DUST BOOTS IN GOOD CONDITION , AND NO LEAKING BRAKE FLUID ANYWHERE . 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 AM CONCERNED THE OTHER PADS ON THE TRUCK MIGHT FAIL AS WELL CAUSING AN ACCIDENT , INJURY , OR FATALITY , AND WANTED TO REPORT

IN ORDER TO REGISTER MY VEHICLE IN CALIFORNIA I WAS FORCED TO ACCEPT THE V08 EMISSIONS RECALL. AFTER THIS RECALL, I HAVE NOTICED SUBSTANTIAL LAG BETWEEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AND BETWEEN WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES. 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. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED THIS COMPLAINT FROM OTHER DRIVERS AS WELL, AND THAT WHILE RAM WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, THEY HAD NO REMEDY AT THIS TIME. THE DATE MENTIONED IN THE REPORT IS SIMPLY OF THE MOST RECENT OF INCIDENTS THAT I MENTIONED.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN THE DRIVE AND REVERSE POSITIONS, THE VEHICLE WOULD ERRONEOUSLY DRIVE WHILE THE DOORS WERE OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED IN 2018 UNDER AN UNKNOWN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER TO PREVENT THE FAILURE FROM OCCURRING. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER MOUNTAIN VIEW DODGE (7154 NASHVILLE ST. RINGO GA) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE BOTH NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MADDOX MOTOR COMPANY LOCATED AT 564 GLOVER RD, SIDNEY, NE 69162, (308)254-5577 TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT ENGINE CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

FAULTY KEY SWITCH. DOES NOT ALLOW KEY TO FULLY TURN OFF, AND HAS TO BE RETRIED, SOMETIMES 3 TIMES. SOMETHING LIKE BLACK PIECE INSIDE KEYHOLE STICKS. TRUCK IS 3 YRS,4 MONTHS OLD, AND HAS ONLY 18253 MILES ON IT. IT IS PAST BUMPER TO BUMPER, BUT THIS SURE SEEMS AWFUL PREMATURE TO FAIL. I AM GUESSING IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE WHEN THE KEY GOES IN, JUST MAKE SURE IT SHUTS OFF PROPERLY.

2 MAJOR ISSUES: A- SINCE VEHICLE GOT COMPUTER SYSTEM UPDATED FOR THE EMISSIONS LAWSUIT - VEHICLE HAS LOST 70% POWER AT TAKE OFF. MEANING, I CURRENTLY HAVE A VERY HIGH RISK OF GETTING T-BONED AT INTERSECTIONS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DOESN'T TAKE OFF. I CURRENTLY HAVE A CLAIM OPEN WITH CHRYSLER BUT THEIR CASE MANAGER CLAIMS THAT PARTS TO FIX THE ISSUE IS CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE. THIS EMISSION UPDATE WAS DONE BACK IN JUNE 2019. B- VEHICLE STARTED TO OVERHEAT AND CREATE VERY HIGH COOLANT SMELL INSIDE THE CABIN. THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION DRIVEN AT APPROXIMATELY 45MPH, IF THE VEHICLE SITS IDLING YOU CAN'T TELL THE PROBLEM, ONLY WHEN DRIVEN. I HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND ADMITTED ON 10/31/2019. AFTER 63 DAYS AT THE DEALER AND SO MUCH BACK AND FORTH WITH CHRYSLER CASE MANAGERS AND SUPERVISORS "THIS PEOPLE IS EXTREMELY USELESS AND SHOULD NOT BE ASSIGNED TO HANDLE CASES SENSITIVE LIKE THIS ONE!" ON 01/03/2020 "63 DAYS AFTER CHECK IN DATE" THE TRUCK WAS RELEASE FROM THE DEALER WITH ABSOLUTELY NO REPAIRS MADE. THE VEHICLE THAT IS CURRENTLY OVERHEATING WITH VERY HIGH RISK OF GETTING CAUGHT ON FIRE HAS BEEN RELEASED TO ME SO I CAN TAKE MY KIDS TO SCHOOLS AND AND MY LIFE AND OTHER AT DANGER. THIS IS TERRIFYING! MAKES ME THINK THAT CHRYSLER WANTS TO DEAL WITH MUCH MORE COSTLY ISSUES WHEN THE WORST HAPPENS!

AFTER THE MANDATORY AEM UPDATE THE TRUCK LOST ACCELERATION POWER AND MPG WENT WAY DOWN. I WAS TOLD THE TRUCKS PERFORMANCE WOULD STAY EXACTLY THE SAME. IN REALITY THE TRUCK TURNED INTO A SLUG. ALSO RECEIVED A RECALL ABOUT POSSIBLE FIRES DUE TO EGR COOLER LEAKING COOLANT. FCA TOLD ME UNTIL A THERE'S A FIX TO CARRY A JUG OF COOLANT AND CONTINUE TO REFILL AS NEEDED. I THINK THAT'S RIDICULOUS, THE TRUCK IS 4 YEARS OLD.

2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, CHECKED ENG LIGHT CAME ON, LOW FUEL SENSOR FAILED, FUEL GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY, TRUCK RUNS FINE, DOES NOT MATTER IF DRIVING ON STREETS OR HIGHWAY, VERY CONCERNED I DONT RUN OUT OF GAS, I HAVE TO FILL UP EVERY WEEK, PRAYING FOR A RECALL TO HAVE THIS MECHANICAL FAILURE FIX QUICKLY

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.

I WAS DRIVING TO A LOCAL BUSINESS AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE POWER STEERING WAS SUDDENLY GONE WHILE PARKING IN THE PARKING LOT. IT WAS IN THE CITY AT SLOW SPEED. DIAGNOSIS BY THE LOCAL DEALER SAYS THE ELECTRONIC UNIT FOR THE POWER STEERING FAILED. APPEARS IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AND BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME FAILURE AS THE NHTSA RECALL NO 16V-167/ MFG RECALL NO. S19. THE FOLLOWING SITE HAS MANY COMPLAINTS THAT ARE SIMILAR THAT WERE NOT PART OF THE LIMITED 440 VEHICLE RECALL. HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/RAM/1500/2016/RECALLS/LOSS-OF-POWER-STEERING-ASSIST-16V167000.SHTML IT APPEARS TO ME THE RECALL WAS NOT BROAD ENOUGH. MY VEHICLE HAS JUST UNDER 37,000 MILES ON IT.

PROBLEMS FOR SEVERAL OWNERS OF 2016 RAM TRUCKS. THEY ARE COMPLAINING ON A RAM TRUCK FORUM ABOUT THEIR WINDOWS FALLING OFF THE TRACKS AND DOWN INTO THEIR DOORS. IT IS MAINLY HAPPENING TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW AND ONLY IN COLD WEATHER. I TRIED TO ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN, MOTOR WAS WORKING, WINDOW STAYED IN PLACE..WHEN IT GOT A BIT WARMER, AS I WAS DRIVING, THE WINDOW FELL DOWN. THIS IS VERY COMMON ON THE '16 MODELS, MY DEALER SAID HE HAS HAD THEM IN ALL WINTER. IT'S HAPPENED TWICE TO MINE AND THE LAST TIME WE DIDN'T EVEN ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN AND WEREN'T IN THE TRUCK. RAM DESIGNED THE WINDOW TRACK DIFFERENTLY THIS YEAR AND IT DOESN'T WORK.

DRIVER SIDE WINDOW OFF TRACK, CAN HEAR MOTOR RUNNING, WINDOW DROPS

TODAY WITH THE COLD WEATHER MY AIR RIDE SUSPENSION FROZE UP CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO DRIVE MY TRUCK TO WORK WITH THE SUSPENSION LOWERED COMPLETELY. THE RIDE WAS VERY ROUGH AND IF I WOULD HAVE HAD TO TAKE ANY EMERGENCY MEASURES I MOST CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE ENDED UP IN THE DITCH. FCA IS REFUSING TO HELP US WITH THIS KNOWN ISSUE

P026AB ERROR CODE FOR 3 WAY COOLANT BYPASS VALVE CAUSING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO BE ON ALL THE TIME. MECHANIC SAYS WON'T CAUSE HARM TO VEHICLE, BUT MIGHT EFFECT ABILITY TO DEFROST PROPERLY. RESEARCH SUGGESTS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS YEAR RANGE AND HAS BEEN A SAFETY RECALL IN PREVIOUS YEARS FOR MODELS OLDER THAN THIS.

DID THE NEW ECODIESEL UPDATE AND NOW TRUCK LAGS DURING ACCELERATION. TAKES A SECOND OR 2 TO TAKE OFF. ALSO WITH THE EGR COOLER RECALL I'M LOSING COOLANT CAN POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE. FCA TOLD ME WHEN I CALLED TO CARRY A JUG OF COOLANT WITH ME TO REFILL AS NEEDED. I WOULD THINK I WOULD HAVE TO DO THIS ON A 3 YEAR OLD TRUCK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V757000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN. ROCKIE WILLIAMS PREMIER DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (LOCATED AT 600 PLEASANT GROVE RD, MT. JULIET, TN 37122, (615) 288-8525) WAS CONTACTED AND THE CONTACT STATED THAT THEY EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

VEHICLE STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED IN THE CITY .TRIED TO RESTART THEN BEGAN SPUTTERING AND ULTIMATELY DIED . VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A BAD FUEL RELAY FOUND IN THE TIPM SYSTEM.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2106 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL IN 2016 FROM A DEALER. THERE WAS AN EMISSIONS RECALL FOR WHICH I TOOK TO THE DEALER AND HAD DONE ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER. SINCE THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED I HAVE HAD A SERIOUS LAG IN ACCELERATION. THERE IS NOW A 3 TO 4 SECOND DELAY AT 3/4 THROTTLE BEFORE THE TRUCK TAKES OFF IN A LURCH. I ASKED THE DEALER HOW THIS CAN BE FIXED TO ACCELERATE AS BEFORE THE RECALL AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT UNDO THE COMPUTER CHANGES. I LIVE OFF A BUSY STREET AND TRYING TO FLOW INTO TRAFFIC IS A REAL CHALLENGE AND A SAFETY HAZARD. I'M AFRAID TO LEND MY TRUCK TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY HAZARD AND WANTED TO MAKE SURE A COMPLAINT HAS BEEN FILED.

THE FUEL GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY WHEN IT IS FULL. BAD FUEL SENSOR. IT BASICALLY BOUNCES AROUND WHEN I FILL IT UP AND THEN RETURNS TO EMPTY. THE DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGES THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. I CAN'T ALLOW MY WIFE AND FOUR CHILDREN TO DRIVE LONG DISTANCES IF THEY DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK. EXTREME SAFETY CONCERN IN DESERT AREA. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AT A LARGE SCALE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND STOPPED WITHOUT WARNING. THE MANUFACTURER CALLED AND STATED THAT THERE WAS AN UNKNOWN RECALL THAT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NORTHWEST CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (832-912-2500, LOCATED AT 19616 NORTHWEST FWY, HOUSTON, TX 77065) TO BE REPAIRED, BUT THE CONTACT DID NOT KNOW THE SPECIFICS. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT BACK TO THE SAME DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO MOVE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LARRY H. MILLER CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM SANDY (10905 AUTO MALL DR, SANDY, UT 84070, (801) 590-0465) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO REMEDY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 52,000.

VEHICLE IS THREE YEARS OLD WITH ROUGHLY 41K MILES. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, CODE READS FUEL PUMP. LIGHT GOES OUT. WEEK OR TWO LATER TRUCK INFO MENU SAYS FUEL SENSOR ERROR AND GAUGE READS EMPTY. RESEARCHED AND SEEN THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH SIMILAR YEAR MODELS. EVEN DEALERSHIP CONFIRMS THIS. THIS WILL COST 1K TO FIX AS WELL AS A WHOLE DAY AT THE SHOP. WHY ISN'T THIS A RECALL? I'VE NEVER HEARD OF FUEL SENSORS OR PUMPS GOING BAD THIS EARLY. THIS ISSUE ISN'T COVER UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. IT IS UNDER BUMPER TO BUMPER BUT I'M OUT OF LUCK AS IT'S THREE YEAR/36K MILES. ENGINE LIGHT/SENSOR/GAUGE ISSUE OCCURED WHEN CRANKING IT UP. I TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON AND THE GAUGE WENT TO THE APPROPRIATE LEVEL ALTHOUGH ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. I USE 87 FUEL.

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!!!

VEHICLE TAKEN IN ON 8-12-19 TO DEALERSHIP TO CHECK OUT DRIVEABILITY CONCERNS AFTER "APPROVED EMISSON MODIFICATION" THEY HAD IT TO APPLY UPDATE FROM 5-17-19 TO 6-12-19, CONCERNS ON 8-12-19 WERE ACCELERATION, ALSO TO CHECK EGR SYSTEM AS I WAS LOSING COOLANT THEY HAD MY VEHICLE FROM 8-12-19/9-13-19 WHEN THEY CALLED ME TELLING ME I NEEDED TO RETURN THE RENTAL CAR AND PICK MY VEHICLE AS THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR THE ACCELERATION I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR AN UPDATE TO BE RELEASED. THEY DIDN'T CHECK THE EGR SYSTEM ONLY TOPPED IT OFF WITH COOLANT AND TOLD ME TO WATCH IT. ALL WAS FINE UNTIL 9-16-19 WHEN I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK, ABOUT 7 MILES FROM WORK THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON I CONTINUED ON ABOUT A MILE FROM MY WORK LOCATION THE SERVICE THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND ABOUT 1/4-1/2 MILE AWAY FROM THE WORK LOCATION THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND VEHICLE DIED. I FINISHED COASTING INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND PARKED WENT INSIDE TO GET WORK RELATED PAPERWORK I NEEDED AND CAME BACK OUTSIDE AND SEE SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I OPEN THE HOOD TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON AND THERE WAS SMOKE/FIRE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF ENGINE BAY WHEN STARING IN (INTAKE, EGR AREA) AT THAT POINT I GOT IN TO THE VEHICLE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL VIA DISENGAGEMENT LEVER TO ROLL VEHICLE AWAY FROM THE HOUSE I GOT IT AWAY FROM THE HOUSE AND GOT OUT AND AWAY AND CALLED FIRE DEPARTMENT TO COME EXTINGUISH THE FIRE AS IT WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES AT THAT POINT. RESULTING IN A TOTAL LOSS OF THE VEHICLE. NOW AFTERWARDS THERE IS NOW A RECALL FOR THE EGR COOLER THAT "MAY FATIGUE AND CAUSE VEHICLE FIRE" CHRYSLER HAS BEEN CONTACTED AND AREN'T WILLING TO DO ANYTHING THEY SENT OUT BOSCH AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERING PEOPLE TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE IT WAS STATED THERE WAS NO VEHICLE MANUFACTURING DEFECT. A BUYBACK CLAIM HAS BEEN STARTED BUT I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING TO THIS POINT.

2016 ECODIESEL HAS A MALFUNCTIONING EGR COOLER AND LEAKS COOLANT INTO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM THUS CAUSING SEVERAL ISSUES: CEL CODE P20EE, LOSS OF COOLANT AT A RATE OF 2 GALLONS PER WEEK, DPF ISSUE & DEF INJECTOR ISSUES. RAM CUSTOMER CARE SAYS I SHOULD JUST DRIVE IT AND "MONITOR" THE COOLANT LEVEL AND I GET TO PAY FOR THAT AT 20.00 A GALLON AT TWO GALLONS PER WEEK UNTIL JANUARY 2020 OR LATER. WITH THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE ENGINE WILL GET ON FIRE.. THERE IS A FIX, SO RAM SAYS BUT NO PARTS AND WE ARE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WITH MAJOR ISSUE FOR MONTHS? APPEARS RAM DOESN'T CARE ABOUT CUSTOMER SAFETY ONLY THEIR MONEY. GREEDY, GREEDY...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE FRONT AIR SUSPENSION FAILED AND DID NOT RAISE BACK UP. THE CONTACT CALLED A DEALER (BYERS AUTOMOTIVE LOCATED AT 401 N HAMILTON, RD, COLUMBUS, OH 43213 PHONE NUMBER 1-888-468-1325) AND WAS ADVISED TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000. CONSUMER STATED HERE ARE SOME ATTACHED PHOTOS FOR MY COMPLAINT. IN PHOTO YOU CAN SEE THE FRONT IS DROPPED TO ENTRY MODE. WHILE THE REAR IS IN OFF ROAD SETTING. (THE 4TH LEVEL) ENTRY MODE MEANS THAT MEANS AIRBAGS COMPLETELY DEFLATED. IF SYSTEM IS NORMAL IT WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO DRIVE IN THIS MODE. I WILL ALSO ATTACH SCREEN SHOTS OF WHAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE WRITTEN IN THE FORUMS I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT. *JB

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY 'AIR SUSPENSION NEEDS SERVICE IMMEDIATELY'. THE AIR SUSPENSION FAILED AND DROPPED MY 2016 RAM 1500 REBEL INTO ENTRY/EXIT MODE. MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT AND ROUGH TO DRIVE.

WHEN THE VEHICLE'S HVAC IS ACTIVATED A VERY STRONG SMELL OF EXHAUST FUMES PERMEATES THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE. A HAZE FROM THE EXHAUST ALSO ENTERS INTO THE CAB. BOTH OF THESE OCCURS WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED OR MOVING. THIS REQUIRES THAT THE HVAC NOT BE OPERATED.

BOUGHT MY TRUCK 7-22-2019 WITH 61.885 MILES ON IT THREE DAYS LATER THE EGR BLEW A GASKET, STAYED IN THE SHOP THREE DAYS. WEAK LATER THE DODGE DEALER CHANGED OUT MY COOLENT AND THE TRUCK WAS WRECKED AT THE DEAR LERSHIP STAYED IN THE SHOP FOR EIGHT DAYS, TWO WEAKS LATER THE OIL COOLER IS LEAKING AND I CAN NOT DRIVE IT AND THE DEALERAHIP HAS IT ALREADY FOR THREE WEAKS AND WAS TOLD NOT TO LOOK FOR PARTS UNTIL JANUARY OR LATER,HAVE ONLY PUT AROUND 2000 MILES ON IT. CASE NO.-68164081 BV-

AIR RIDE SUSPENSION FREEZES IN THE WINTER, THE SYSTEM LOCKS OUT AND WON'T TRY AND REINFLATE THE AIRBAGS MAKING THE VEHICLE BOUNCE AS DRIVING. WHEN THE VEHICLE BOUNCES IT BECOMES INCREASINGLY HARDER TO DRIVE ON ICY ROADS. DEALER INSTALLED A NEW BREAKER ON THE SYSTEM, BUT SYSTEM STILL LOCKS OUT. DEALER IDENTIFIED VERBALLY THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT SUITABLE FOR COLD CLIMATES.

THE AIR SUSPENSION IS FAULTY IN THE RAMS. DUE TO FAULTY ISSUES IT CAUSES THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS ESPECIALLY FAULTY DURING COLD WEATHER. DURING COLD WEATHER THE COMPRESSOR FAILS TO FUNCTION PROPERLY RESULTING IN INADEQUATE SUSPENSION

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2016 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V757000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL GRINDING NOISE DETECTED FROM THE ENGINE AND THE LOW OIL PRESSURE AND ELECTRICAL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IN ADDITION, FLAMES WERE DETECTED UNDER THE HOOD PRIOR TO SMOKE BEING DETECTED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT SURE IF A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED BY THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL TOW LOT AND THEN TOWED TO LITHIA CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT OF EUREKA (4320 BROADWAY ST, EUREKA, CA 95503, 707) 382-3208). THE DEALER REFUSED TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE AND HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE LOCAL TOW LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY IN THE INSURANCE COMPANY'S POSSESSION WHERE IT WAS CONSIDERED A TOTAL LOSS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY TAKEN TO LITHIA CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT OF EUREKA (4320 BROADWAY ST, EUREKA, CA 95503, (707) 382-3208) DUE TO THE ENGINE STALLING. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE OR DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY COULD NOT PROVE THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,600.

THIS 2016 3.0L ECO DIESEL IS A DEATH TRAP AFTER FCA REPROGRAMED THE SOFTWARE 2 MONTHS AGO. 2-4 SECOND HESITATION WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE GAS. THE TRUCK JUST SITS THERE AND DOES NOT MOVE. 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. THIS TRUCK IS VERY DANGEROUS AND THE TRUCK NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND IF FCA CAN'T FIX THEM, THEY NEED TO BUY THEM BACK AND GET THESE DEATH TRAPS OFF THE ROAD. SORRY, I CAN'T DESCRIBE JUST A SINGLE SPECIFIC INSTANCE, IT'S DANGEROUS EVERY TIME YOU GET BEHIND THE WHEEL. I WOULD LIKE TO MEET WITH THE PRESIDENT OF FCA AND HAVE HIM TAKE MY TRUCK FOR A DRIVE WITH HIS FAMILY IN IT AND THEN GIVE HIS OPINION AS TO THE QUALITY OF THIS ENGINE. I DO NOT ALLOW MY WIFE TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK AS IT'S A DEATH TRAP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, A LOUD RATTLING NOISE WAS DETECTED. THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT AND HIS SON-IN-LAW DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AS CYLINDER TWO MISFIRING. THE HEADS WERE REPLACED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS STILL CURRENTLY AWAITING OTHER REPAIRS. THUNDER CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (1425 W MAIN ST, BARTOW, FL 33830, (863) 533-0793) WAS CALLED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE ENGINE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

AS I WAS TURNING ONTO THE ROAD TO MY HOUSE I HEARD SCREECHING AS MY STEERING LOCKED UP AND I COULDN'T TURN MY VEHICLE ANYMORE. A LIGHT FLASHED INDICATING 'SERVICE POWER STEERING'. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC SHOP AS WELL AS THE DEALER AND BOTH INFORMED ME THE SAME THING. MY EPS (ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING) NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. WHICH IS RECALL # 'S19'. VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE AND YEAR ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THE GAS GAUGE GETS BELOW A HALF TANK THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON, THEN THE GAS GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY, AND THEN THE LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON. TEN FUEL SENSOR FAIL.

2016 RAM DRIVERS WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURE.THIS THE 3 TIME THE NYLON CLIP BREAKS WHEN THERE IS COLD WEATHER. IF YOU GET JUST A LITTLE FREEZE AND OPEN THE WINDOW THE CLIP CRACKS. THE REPLACEMENT PART # IS 2387602835. I HAVE OWNED A VEHICLE AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM IN COLD WEATHER. I WAS TOLD NOT OPEN YOUR WINDOWS IN THE WINTER MONTHS. CHRYSLER SERVICE SAYS DON"T OPEN THE WINDOW WHEN ITS BELOW 32 DEGREES.

RADIO SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING, LOCKS UP AND WILL ONLY TURN BACK ON WHEN SHUTTING OFF VEHICLE AND RESTARTING IT. HEADLIGHT FLICKER ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. HEADLIGHT FLICKER HAS DONE THIS FOR 3 MONTHS NOW

DRIVING TO MY HOME TURNING RIGHT, THE STEERING LOCKED UP? FOR ABOUT 2-3 SECONDS. LOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. ALSO NOTICED A PROBLEM IN OCT CAMP TRIP. IN GREEN RIDGE FOREST.AS I DROVE ON BUMPY ROADS, I NOTICED STEERING DIFFICULTIES.DISMISSED AS OFF ROAD BUMPS. AFTER RETURNING HOME, WENT TO DINNER WITH FRIENDS.THE STEERING LOCKED UP. THORNTON DODGE CLAIMS THIS IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY. DODGE RECALLED ALMOST 900,000 TRUCKS FOR STEERING. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, SLOWED VEHICLE TO A STOP, SHUT OFF ENGINE, NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT. TRIED TO OPEN HOOD BUT IT WAS TOO HOT. NOTICED FLAME UNDER HOOD WITHIN A MINUTE WHOLE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS IN FLAMES.

COOLANT LEAKING FROM BACK OF MOTOR RESEARCH SAYS IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM COOLANT LINE TO TURBO HAS A PIECE OF RUBBER HOSE UNDER INTAKE AND THE RUBBER CAN'T HOLD UP TO THE TEMP 67000 MILES ON TRUCK

ECODIESEL MODEL PICKUP WHILE TOWING OUR 4,000 LB TRAVEL TRAILER AT 50 MPH ON A STATE HIGHWAY, 90 MILES INTO A CAMPING/FISHING TRIP, SUDDENLY DISPLAYED SYMBOL AND MESSAGE ALERTS ON THE DASH AND AT THE SAME TIME LOST ENGINE POWER. I WAS ABLE TO KEEP ENOUGH SPEED TO PULL ONTO A DIRT SIDE ROAD WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE HUNDRED YARDS, THEN COASTED TO A STOP. DURING THE LAST 20 YARDS, THE ENGINE DIED COMPLETELY SO I HAD NO POWER STEERING. AT FULL STOP THERE WAS A STRONG CHEMICAL SMELL IN THE CAB AND GREY SMOKE COMING FROM THE HOOD. WHEN I OPENED THE DRIVER DOOR, GREY SMOKE WAS BILLOWING FROM THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL WELL. WHEN I OPENED THE HOOD, THERE WAS A FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. FLAMES WERE SHOOTING UP FROM BEHIND THE ENGINE, THE INSULATION ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE HOOD WAS BURNING AND FLAKES OF BURNING INSULATION WERE FLOATING AROUND IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I WAS ABLE TO PUT OUT THE FIRE WITH AN EXTINGUISHER BEFORE THE ENTIRE TRUCK AND TRAILER AND THE SURROUNDING FOREST CAUGHT ON FIRE. JUST AS THE FLAMES DIED OUT, THE COOLANT RESERVOIR ON TOP OF THE ENGINE BURST AND BOILING COOLANT SPRAYED OUT CREATING A BUNCH OF STEAM AND MORE BAD CHEMICAL SMELL. I ARRANGED FOR THE TRUCK TO BE TOWED TO OUR HOMETOWN DEALER. TRUCK WAS STOCK AND DEALER MAINTAINED. I AM WAITING TO HEAR FROM THE DEALER AND THEIR RAM INVESTIGATOR ON WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE AND HOW THIS MATTER WILL BE HANDLED.

THIS VEHICLE HAS A 3.0 ECO DIESEL ENGINE. CHRYSLER HAD A RECALL TO UPDATE THIS ENGINE WHICH I HAD THEM DO. EVER SINCE THE UPDATE THERE HAS BEEN A LONG PAUSE AFTER PUSHING ON THE ACCELERATOR TILL THE ENGINE SPEEDS UP. THIS OFTEN TIMES RESULTS IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN PULLING OUT TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. WE LIVE NEAR A BUSY ROUND ABOUT AND WHEN PUSHING ON THE GAS TO ENTER, NOTHING HAPPENS SO YOU PUSH DOWN MORE, THEN ALL AT ONCE IT TAKES OFF LIKE A BULLET AND YOU HOPE YOU DON'T HIT SOMEBODY. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER MORE THAN ONCE AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO CORRECT IT. I HAVE CALLED THE RECALL NUMBER AT RAM AND DIDN'T GET ANYWHERE THERE EITHER. THE DEALER SAID THEY GET A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS BUT THERE IS NO FIX. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

I HAVE A RAM 2016 ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION MY TRUCK ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING. ONCE ON THE INTERSTATE GOING AROUND 70 MPH (HAD 3 PASSENGERS WITH ME) AND TWICE TODAY 10/22/19 IN MORNING TRAFFIC AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. IT TOOK HITTING THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES TO STOP. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL ASSIST WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY. IN ADDITION, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO REEDMAN TOLL CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM OF LANGHORNE (1700 LINCOLN HWY #103, LANGHORNE, PA 19047, (215) 757-4961) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED.

THE TAILGATE LATCH AND BACKUP CAMERA. THE LATCH DOES NOT LOCK WITH THE KEY FOB OR KEY. AT THE TIME THIS OCCURRED THE BACKUP CAMERA STOPPED WORKING. WE NO LONGER CAN USE THE CAMERA. YOU CAN HEAR THE CLICKING SOUND WHEN TRYING TO REMOTE LOCK THE TAILGATE BUT IT FAILS TO LOCK.

I BOUGHT MY TRUCK ON THE 25TH AT 6PM. AND AT 7P ON THE 26TH IT HAD CAUGHT FIRE ON THE HIGHWAY AND BURNT RO THE GROUND WITH ME AND MY PREGNANT WIFE IN THE TRUCK. I HEARD TICKING COMING FROM THE MOTOR FOLLOWED BY A LOUD POP AND THEN LOST ALL POWER NO GAS RESPONSE AND COASTED TO BREAKDOWN LANE JUST BARLEY GOT MI WIFE OUT OF THE TRUCK AND THE TRUCK WAS FULLY ELGUFFED.

I OWN A 2016 DODGE RAM ECO DIESEL THAT WAS FORCED TO HAVE THE EPA UPDATE COMPLETED AS PART OF THE CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT. SINCE THE UPDATE WAS COMPLETED I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH INCONSISTENT POWER AND ACCELERATION. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND HAS ALMOST RESULTED IN COLLISIONS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THIS ISSUE IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN MAKING LEFT HAND TURNS ACROSS TRAFFIC AND THE TRUCK DECIDES TO DELAY 2-3 SECONDS IN THE ACCELERATION PROCESS. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AS WELL AS THE MANUFACTURER AND HAVE BEEN MET WITH STONE WALKING BUG BOTH OF THEM. I HAVE COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY REFUSE TO EVEN TAKE THE TRUCK IN FOR DIAGNOSTICS SITTING THE LACK OF ENGINE TROUBLE CODES. THE MANUFACTURER ANGRILY REFERS ME TO THE DEPARTMENT THAT IS HANDLING THE SETTLEMENT AND STATES THAT THE EPA IS MAKING THEM DO THIS AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. WHEN I TRY REACHING OUT TO THE DEPARTMENT HANDLING THE RECALL/SETTLEMENT IT IS MET WITH UNREACHABLE AGENTS AND AN ENDLESS LOOP ON A PHONE SYSTEM. AT THIS POINT I FEARFUL TO DRIVE THE TRUCK AND ESPECIALLY TRANSPORT MY CHILD IN IT. I AM AT A WITS END AND AM ASKING FOR INVOLVEMENT FROM YOUR ORGANIZATION. MY NAME IS [XXX] AND CAN BE REACHED AT [XXX] FOR ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. THANK YOU INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ECO DIESEL ENGINE WAS REPROGRAMMED BY RAM FOR AN EMISSIONS RECALL. ENGINE DOES NOT OPERATE LIKE IT DID BEFORE THE SOFTWARE UPDATE. WHEN COLD, THERE IS A NOTICEABLE ACCELERATION LAG. THIS PRESENTS A DANGER WHEN PULLING INTO ANY TYPE OF TRAFFIC. THE LAG WILL DISAPPEAR ONCE THE TRUCK HAS BEEN DRIVEN A BIT AND THE ENGINE WARMS UP. MILEAGE HAS ALSO BEEN DIMINISHED NOTICEABLY SINCE THE SOFTWARE UPDATE. I WOULD THINK THAT THE INTENDED EMISSION REDUCTION THAT WAS TARGETED BY THIS UPDATE HAS BEEN OFFSET BY AN INCREASED BURNING OF FUEL. I'M DISAPPOINTED. WOULD LOVE TO HAVE MY TRUCK BACK OPERATING AS BEFORE THE EMISSIONS UPDATE.

I OWN A RAM 1500 ECODIESEL 2016 LARAMIE. I GOT THE AEM EMISSION RECALL AND THE LIKE OTHER PEOPLE I HAVE AN ACCELERATION PROBLEM AFTER THE RECALL. I HAVE BEEN TO DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT. I HAVE PUT TICKETS INTO FCA AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. HERE IS A VIDEO OF THE ISSUE. HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/QLT7XPLKA3A THIS IS SEVER WHEN THE TRUCK IS COLD. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS TRUCK. I WILL NOT PUT MY 5 YEAR SON IN THE TRUCK IF IT IS COLD. ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVID E ON THIS ISSUE WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY ABRUPTLY, SOMETIMES VIOLENTLY, WHILE DRIVING. THERE IS ALSO A JOLT WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, DURING THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT FROM 2ND TO 1ST GEAR.

I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW AND WAS VERY HAPPY WITH IT UNTIL THE EMISSION UPDATE. ONCE I HAD THE UPDATE DONE TO THE TRUCK ITS WAS A TOTAL DIFFERENT TRUCK. IT DOESN'T HAVE AS MUCH POWER AND IT HAS MAJOR TURBO LAG WHEN ACCELERATING ESPECIALLY WHEN COLD. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH FCA AND PROBABLY WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FCA PRODUCT UNLESS THEY MAKE IT RIGHT WITH ALL OF THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. LOOKS LIKE I WILL BE LOOKING AT FORD IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

AFTER AN EMISSIONS UPDATE WAS MADE TO MY VEHICLE WITHOUT MY PERMISSION ON JUNE 4, 2019, THE THROTTLE IS UNRESPONSIVE, THE DIESEL EXHAUST REGENERTION SYSTEM NO LONGER FUNCTIONS AND MY FUE ECONOMY HAS DROPPED OVER 10 MPG. IT IS OUT-OF-SERVICE AND UNDRIVEABLE. IT HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES OVER THE LAST 4 MONTHS, AND HAS BEEN THERE SINCE AUGUST 1, 2019. I AM BEING TOLD THERE IS NO FIX.

AFTER A RECALL TO UPDATE EMISSIONS SOFTWARE, THE TRUCK EXPERIENCES UNPREDICTABLE AND INCONSISTENT THROTTLE RESPONSE. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT ONCE PER WEEK, WHEN THE ENGINE IS AT FULL OPERATING TEMP. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS PRESSED, BUT THE ENGINE DOES NOT ACCELERATE FOR 4 SECONDS. THIS RESULTS IN THE TRUCK CREEPING OUT INTO TRAFFIC BUT NOT ACCELERATING AS DESIRED. I AM NOT COMFORTABLE WITH MY WIFE AND KIDS IN THIS TRUCK BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL FCA DEALERSHIP. THEY SCANNED FOR TROUBLE CODES, BUT FOUND NOTHING. THEY SAID THEY WOULD LOOK INTO THE ISSUE, BUT I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK ABOUT THIS.

EPA MANDATED AEM WAS PERFORMED IN MAY OF 2019. SINCE THAT TIME MY TRUCK HAS HAD DANGEROUSLY SLOW THROTTLE RESPONSE. YOU CAN COUNT TO 5 AFTER PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR BEFORE THE TRUCK STARTS MOVING AT AN ACCEPTABLE SPEED FOR PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. WHEN THE TRUCK FINALLY RESPONDS IT SNAPS MY NECK BACK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING MODULE FAILED. THE STEERING MODULE WAS NOT REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V167000 (STEERING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK A TIC CAME ON AS I ACCELERATE LOUDER AND LOUDER OVER TIME. MIND YOU MY RAM HAD 40K MILES AT THE TIME. NOT ANYWHERE I GO AS I ACCELERATE THE TIC CONTINUES, FASTER AS THE RPMS RAISE. I BELIEVE IT TO BE KNOWN AS A HEMI TIC. FAILING AND SIEZING LIFTERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2016 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CONTACT FELL ASLEEP AND CRASHED INTO A TELEPHONE POLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE CHEST THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE MAY HAVE BEEN SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT LOT. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD SEND AN INVESTIGATOR TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,980. *DT*JB

1. ON 9/20 I RECEIVED FROM FCA DEALER THE RECALL UPDATE AGREED TO UPON SETTLEMENT WITH THE EPA. 2. WHILE DRIVING ON 9/21 I WAS AT A STOP AND NEEDED TO CHANGED LANES. 3. WHEN I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR THE ENGINE STALLED AND BARELY MOVED THE VEHICLE FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS BEFORE PICKING UP AND MOVING NORMALLY. 4. HAD ANOTHER VEHICLE BEEN ON COMING IT COULD HAVE CREATED A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON A MAJOR ROAD AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION. 5. I HEREBY EXERT THAT THE "FIX" FOR THE EMISSIONS BY FCA IS NOW CREATING DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS FOR "OWNERS" WHO HAVE RECEIVED THIS THIS RECALL "FIX" 6. ADDITIONALLY IT APPEARS FUEL MILEAGE IS ALSO DROPPING ABOUT 5%-10% 7. RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET I AM FINDING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. 8. SOMETIMES THE CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTIONS SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT, I HAVE REPEATEDLY TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOR THIS COMPLAINT BUT THEY SAY THEY CANNOT FIND ANY ISSUE. 9. I WOULD SUGGEST THAT NHSTA GET VEHICLES BEFORE AND AFTER THE "FIX" AND DO SUBSTANTIAL TESTING, AS IT IS NOT 100% OF THE TIME AND ISSUE AND MAY BE HARD TO REPLICATE. 10. OVERALL PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO BE AFFECTED - LOWER PERFORMANCE AND LESS TORQUE 11.IF FUEL MILEAGE IS DOWN AND PERFORMANCE IS DOWN I WOULD SUSPECT THAT EMISSIONS MAY ACTUALLY BE WORSE THAN PRIOR TO THE "FIX" BEING IMPLEMENTED.

AFTER RECEIVING THE REQUIRED EMISSION UPDATE FOR THE ECO DIESEL, THE TRUCK NOW HAS SEVERE PERFORMANCE ISSUES. THERE IS A 5 TO 8 SECOND LAG IN ACCELERATION, THIS HAS NEARLY CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS WHILE TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC OR ENTER TRAFFIC. I HAVE REPORTED THE ISSUE TO DEALERS WITH NO SOLUTION OR CONCERN.

WHEN STARTING ENGINE IN THE MORNING OR IN COLD WEATHER (65'F AND COLDER) THE ENGINE IS UNRESPONSIVE TO THE THROTTLE FOR UP TO 6 SECONDS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND MAKES FOR A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFICIENCY FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS AND THE PUBLIC. ON COMING TRAFFIC HAS HAD TO SLAM ON BREAKS TO AVOID COLLISIONS AS I HAVE HAD TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC. THE THROTTLE IS SMASHED TO THE FLOOR AND A MINIMUM OF 3 SECONDS GOES BY BEFORE THE TRUCK HAS ANY RESPONSE WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN CHICAGO, PULLING INTO TRAFFIC, MERGING INTO LO A HIGHWAY, AND WHEN GOING OVER TRAIN TRACKS WHEN THE GATES WERE COMING DOWN, AND WHEN STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AT A GREEN LIGHT WHICH HAD AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE COMING INTO AND THROUGH THE LIGHT FROM THE OTHER DIRECTION (I COULDN'T MOVE FOR 3 SECONDS).

AFTER HAVING THE APPROVED EMISSIONS MODIFICATION INSTALLED MY TRUCK BECAME DANGEROUSLY SLUGGISH FROM A DEAD STOP. AFTER PRESSING ACCELERATOR PEDAL PULLING INTO TRAFFIC TRUCK IS MOVING APPROX. 4 MPH WHERE THERE IS A 3 TO 4 SECOND DELAY IN ACCELERATION LEAVING ME VULNERABLE TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. TRUCK WAS FINE BEFORE AEM. DEALER NOW SAYS THEY CAN NOT REVERSE AEM. TRUCK IS NOW A SERIOUS TRAFFIC HAZARD.

EXTREME LAG ON ACCELERATION FROM A DEAD STOP. EXTREME LAG ON FREEWAY WHILE TRYING TO PASS OR MERGE. POST THE AEM EMISSIONS RECALL.

SINCE AN EMISSIONS RECALL MY TRUCK HAS HAD A DANGEROUS AMOUNT OF DEAD PEDAL LAG WHEN. FIRST STARTING TO DRIVE. THE FIRST 5-10 MINUTES OF EVERY DRIVE CREATE A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE I AM CONSISTENTLY WORRIED ABOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE MY TRUCK DOES NOT OPERATE LIKE A NORMAL VEHICLE, OR AS IT DID BEFORE THE RECALL HAPPENED.

2016 RAM ECODIESEL HAS HAD THE REQUIRED EPA COMPLIANCE UPDATE TO ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION ECMS. POST UPDATE, THROTTLE RESPONSE FROM THE VEHICLE WHEN THE ENGINE IS NOT FULLY UP TO TEMPERATURE IS VERY SLUGGISH...TAKES UP TO A COUPLE SECONDS TO START ACCELERATING. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO NEARLY BE HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHILE WAITING FOR THE VEHICLE TO START ACCELERATING. ONCE THE ENGINE WARMS UP AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE VEHICLE RESPONSE TO INPUT ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL RETURNS TO NORMAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THEN VIOLENTLY ACCELERATED. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE WARNING INDICATOR ONLY ILLUMINATED WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED PERIODICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LARRY H. MILLER CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM ALBUQUERQUE (8528 LOMAS BLVD NE, ALBUQUERQUE, NM 87110, (505) 404-0108) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE MIGHT BE BECAUSE THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDALS WERE DEPRESSED AT THE SAME TIME; HOWEVER, THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED UNLESS THE WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,711.

AFTER THE RECALL, MY RAM ECODIESEL HAS NO POWER AT ALL, IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE UNTIL IT GETS UP TO OPERATING TEMPERATURE. EVEN THEN, IT IS VERY SLUGGISH, SOMETIMES DANGEROUSLY SLOW LIKE WHEN TURNING LEFT WITH ON-COMING TRAFFIC. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE BEFORE THE AEM RECALL DUE TO THE EMISSIONS ISSUE. WHILE MINE HAS NOT DOE THIS, I AM PART OF A GROUP OF ADDITIONAL OWNERS, OF WHICH AN ALARMING NUMBER HAVE CAUGHT FIRE POST AEM RECALL. ALSO A VERY HIGH NUMBER OF ENGINE FAILURES. I AM CONCERNED THERE ARE MAJOR DESIGN FLAWS, AND NOW THIS LATEST UPDATE SIMPLY MAKES IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

DANGEROUS LAG IN THROTTLE RESPONSE IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS.. DELAY IN THROTTLE RESPONSE IS GREATER THAN 4 SECONDS IN ALL ATTEMPS AT ACCELERATION.

AFTER RECALL FOR THE DIESEL ENGINE EMISSIONS CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, THE TRUCK IS VERY SLUGGISH WHEN COLD, SOMETIMES TAKINGS 3-5 SECONDS TO RESPOND TO THROTTLE INPUT. FUEL ECONOMY REDUCED. TRUCK FEELS LAZY UNTIL IT WARMS UP COMPLETELY. EVEN THEN, IT ISN'T AS RESPONSIVE AS IT WAS BEFORE THE SOFTWARE FLASH.

I OWN A 2016 ECODIESEL RAM 1500, AND EVER SINCE I COMPLETED THE REQUIRED ENGINE SOFTWARE UPDATE MANDATED BY FCA DUE TO THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, I HAVE NOTICED A SIGNIFICANT DELAY IN ACCELERATION DURING CONDITIONS WHERE THE ENGINE IS NOT FULLY WARMED UP AND SOMETIME AT NORMAL CONDITIONS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PULLING FROM A STOP THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. THESE DELAYS CAN BE AS LONG AS 3 TO 5 SECONDS!! THIS POSSES A HUGE RISK TO THE DRIVE, HIS OCCUPANTS, AND OTHER DRIVERS AS WELL. THE ECO DIESEL COMMUNITY WAS PROMISED THAT THIS SOFTWARE UPDATE WOULD NOT IMPEDE FUEL ECONOMY, ENGINE PERFORMANCE, ENGINE NOISE, AND MANY OTHER THINGS AS WELL. YET HERE WE ARE MY SELF AND MANY OTHERS HAVING TO THINK TWICE EVERY TIME WE PULL THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, OR A DRIVE WAY, OR TURN ON A CURVED ROAD WHERE THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE, HOPING THAT THIS IS NOT THE TIME WE ARE IMPALED BY ON COMING TRAFFIC DUE TO THE LACK OF ENGINE PERFORMANCE OF OUR OWN VEHICLE. THIS IS AN ISSUE FCA NEEDS TO GET OUT IN FRONT OF BEFORE HUMAN LIFE IS LOST. ITS NOT A MATTER OF IF BUT A MATTER OF WHEN, THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND ITS NEEDS TO BE DONE QUICKLY!!

I OWN A 2016 ECODIESEL RAM 1500, AND EVER SINCE I COMPLETED THE REQUIRED SOFTWARE UPDATE ON MY VEHICLE DUE TO THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT I HAVE NOTICED A DRASTIC DECREASE IN THE AMOUNT OF ACCELERATION MY VEHICLE HAS UNDER CONDITIONS WHERE THE VEHICLE IS NOT FULLY WARMED UP AND OCCASIONALLY UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS AS WELL. THERE ARE TIMES THE VEHICLE WILL TAKE 3 TO 5 ENTIRE SECONDS TO FINALLY START ACCELERATING AND WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO HEAVY TRAFFIC OR AT INTERSECTIONS THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! I NEED TO BE ABLE TO TRUST THE MY VEHICLE WILL RESPOND IN THE MANNER I NEED IT TO WHILE TRAVELING HIGHWAY AND LOCAL. I BECOME A HAZARD TO OTHER DRIVES AS WELL AS TO MYSELF AND MY OCCUPANTS. THE ECODIESEL OWNERS COMMUNITY WAS PROMISED THAT THIS SOFTWARE UPDATE WOULD NOT IMPEDE FUEL ECONOMY, ENGINE PERFORMANCE, ENGINE NOISE, AND MANY OTHER THINGS, YET MYSELF AND WHAT APPEARS TO BE MANY OTHERS ARE SUFFERING FROM WHAT CAN ONLY BE CLASSIFIED AS A TICKING TIME BOMB. WHEN ONE OR MULTIPLE LIVES ARE LOST, WILL IT THEN BE A LARGE ENOUGH ISSUE TO CORRECT? I CANT FEAR EVERY SINGLE INTERSECTION AND CURVED ROAD I COME ACROSS BECAUSE I AM AFRAID THAT MY ENGINE WILL RESPOND SLUGGISH AND DELAYED. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT FCA NEEDS TO ADDRESS AND QUICKLY!

VEHICLE WAS IN A SETTLEMENT REGARDING THE ECODIESEL ENGINE. TO GET CLAIM PROCESSED A SOFTWARE CHANGE WAS REQUIRED. AFTER GETTING THE SOFTWARE CHANGE AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE TRUCK NOW HAS AN EXTREME ACCELERATION DELAY ESPECIALLY RIGHT AFTER STARTING. YOU CAN PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING REALLY HAPPENS, THEN YOU HAVE TO FLOOR IT TO GET IT TO MOVE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AT THE INTERSECTION COMING OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD. ON THIS PAST WEDNESDAY MORNING I HAD TO RUN OFF THE ROAD IN ORDER TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT AS MY TRUCK ROLLED ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND THEN WOULD NOT GET GOING. I TRIED TO PULL OVER AND THEN IT FINALLY HIT AND PUT ME IN A DITCH AS I WAS GETTING OUT OF THE WAY OF A CAR ABOUT TO HIT ME. THE PEOPLE I'VE TALKED TO AT THE SETTLEMENT AGENCY FOR FIAT CHRYSLER HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED TO ME THAT MANY HAVE COMPLAINED. IF IT ISN'T FIXED SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED (IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY BEEN)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDERGOING ROUTINE INSPECTION, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE COOLANT WAS VERY LOW. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TATE DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (2903, 7429 RITCHIE HWY, GLEN BURNIE, MD 21061) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED MORE COOLANT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, AFTER 1,000 MILES, THE VEHICLE LOST COOLANT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO TATE DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM WHERE THE MECHANIC FOUND A LEAK IN THE EGR COOLER AND STATED THAT THE EGR CIRCUIT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, AFTER SEVERAL THOUSAND MILES, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FRED FREDERICK CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (39 WASHINGTON BLVD, LAUREL, MD 20707) WHERE THEY PERFORMED A PRESSURE TEST AND ADDED COOLANT. THE MECHANIC ALSO MENTIONED A WARRANTY ON THE DIESEL EMISSION. AFTER THE REPAIR, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

V08 RECALL FLASH HAS MADE MY TRUCK MORE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THERE IS AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF LAG FROM THE ENGINE AND TURBO WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE. I AM THE SECOND OWNER, BOUGHT ON 7/24/19 AND THE TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP TWICE ALREADY!

SUDDEN STOP AT 75 MPH IN FREEWAY. SAFETY HAZARD! MY 2016 DODGE RAM SUDDENLY STOPS RANDOMLY WHEN GOING AT 75 MPH. IT HAS CAUSED SEVERAL PEOPLE TO ALMOST SLAM INTO MY TRUCK. ONE MAN WAS SO ANGRY I PULLED OVER AND TOLD HIM I WAS SO SORRY. THE GUY SAID THERE WERE NO BRAKE LIGHTS SO IT WAS DANGEROUS!!! I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES BUT THEY TELL ME SINCE IT DOESN'T GIVE THEM A CODE, THEY CANNOT PINPOINT THE PROBLEM. THE MANAGER AT THE SANTA CRUZ, CA DEALERSHIP TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE WITH A SCANNER ATTACHED; IT HAPPENED TO THEM BUT NO CODE APPEARS! AFTER THEY CHANGED A PART, THEY GAVE IT BACK BUT IT IS STILL DOING IT. THEY ARE RELUCTANT TO DO ANYTHING ELSE BECAUSE RAM DOESN'T WANT TO COVER THE COST. THIS IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION FOR OUR FAMILY'S LIVELIHOOD AND RAM DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO BE BOTHERED WITH IT, BUT IT'S A SAFETY MATTER. THIS IS A DODGE MATTER THAT MUST BE RESOLVED BY THEM. I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE A FAULTY UNSAFE VEHICLE BUT I CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE. I PURCHASED THAT VEHICLE FOR SAFETY AND ECOLOGICAL REASONS; I HOPE DODGE CAN BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR FIXING THIS ISSUE AND PROVIDING ME WITH A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL.

I OWN A 2016 RAM 1500 ECO DIESEL. I RECENTLY GOT A RECALL (V08 I BELIEVE) THAT GREATLY EFFECTED THE THROTTLE RESPONSE AND FUEL MILEAGE ON MY TRUCK. I LOVE ON A BEND ON A STATE HIGHWAY AND IT HAS BECOME VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME TO PULL OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. WHEN I PRESS THE THROTTLE THERE IS A GOOD 5 SECOND DELAY BEFORE THE TRUCK ACCELERATES. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AS FCA HAS NOTIFIED DEALERS THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I TOOK MY TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES AND THAT IS THE RESPONSE THEY GAVE ME. WHEN I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK THERE WERE NO ACCELERATION ISSUES AND THE FUEL MILEAGE WAS 4-5MPG GREATER BEFORE THIS COMPUTER UPDATE. PLEASE FACILITATE A FIX FOR THIS BEFORE I GET HIT LEAVING MY HOUSE OR TURNING ONTO ANY STREET.

AFTER HAVING THE VO8 AEM DONE TO MY TRUCK, THE PERFORMANCE HAS DROPPED. THE LACK OF ACCELERATION WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC IS SCARY AT TIMES. IF YOU EVEN SO MUCH AS ROLL A STOP THE TRUCK SEEMS TO BE STUCK IN 3RD GEAR AND VERY SLOW TO ACCELERATE. FUEL CONSUMPTION IS GREATER CAUSING A DROP IN MPG BOTH WITH NORMAL DRIVING AND GETS WORSE THAN BEFORE THE UPDATE WHILE TOWING.

RAM WITH ECODIESEL ENGINE AFTER APPROVED EMISSIONS MODIFICATION DUE TO EPA SETTLEMENT. WHEN ENGINE IS NOT FULLY WARMED UP THERE IS EXCESSIVE (3-5 SECONDS) DELAY IN THROTTLE RESPONSE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITTION AT ANY INTERSECTION. WHEN APPLYING THROTTLE TO ENTER AN INTERSECTION AFTER STOPPING, THE VEHICLE SLOWLY MOVES FORWARD INTO THE INTERSECTION WITH NO THROTTLE RESPONSE FOR 3-5 SECONDS CREATING A COLLISION HAZARD TO OCCUPANTS AS WELL AS OTHER VEHICLES

EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BROKEN. MY TRUCK HAS ROUGHLY 46,000 MILES ON IT AND YESTERDAY UPON COLD START UP I HEARD AN EXHAUST LEAK COMING FROM THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I NOTICED AT LEAST ONE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLT HEAD BROKEN OFF, THERE MAY BE MORE AS I DIDN'T INVESTIGATE ANY FURTHER. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ON A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 100,000 MILES

HAD THE RECALL V08 DONE AND NOW MY TRUCK LAGS POWER AND TAKES FOREVER TO ACCELERATE WHEN TURNING INTO TRAFFIC. IT SEEMS TO BE WORSE WHEN IT IS COLDER. IT ALSO HAS LOST POWER WHEN I'M TOWING. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT WITH MY FAMILY IN IT.

VERY POOR ACCELERATION WHEN COLD OR WARM. SIGNIFICANT DROP IN POWER AND FUEL MILEAGE. ALL OF THESE THINGS HAPPENED AFTER THE V08 UPDATE

SINCE GETTING THE RAM ECO DIESEL MANDATORY RECALL / RE FLASH. I HAVE EXPERIENCED A "DEAD PEDAL." IT'S NOT AS BAD IN WARMER WEATHER BUT NOW WE ARE STARTING TO EXPERIENCE COLDER MORNINGS AND WINTER IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. THE DRIVE-ABILITY OF THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND UNSETTLING. I AM WORRIED ABOUT MY FAMILY NOW.

AFTER THE NEW UPDATE THAT WAS FORCED ON THE ECO DIESELS OWNERS, I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATING AFTER STARTING UP AND TAKING OFF. WE HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS LAG IN ACCELERATION. IT GETS A LITTLE BETTER AS IT WARMS UP BUT NOT MUCH BETTER. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO GET OUT IN AN INTERSECTION OR GET TO THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. ONE TIME I WAS PULLING OUT INTO AN INTERSECTION AND I HAD THE PEDDLE TO THE FLOOR AND NOTHING, IF I WAS FURTHER BACK ON THE HILL I'D PROBABLY WOULD HAVE GONE BACKWARDS. STILL HAPPENS.

ECO DIESEL RECALL ON EMISSIONS, AND NOW HAVE SAFETY ACCELERATION OR "LACK OF" FROM A STOP, FUEL ECONOMY WENT WAY DOWN AND USE OF ALOT DEF, RAM IS AWARE OF IT AND HAVE NOT FIX CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR PAST 4 MONTHS DEALERS RESET AND STILL COMES BACK ON, DEALERS CAN'T FIX AND DON'T KNOW HOW THEY STATED WAIT FOR DODGE FCA I WAS DEALING WITH FELICIA US CUSTOMER CARE CASE NUMBER [XXX] FCA SHE HAD TO CANCEL CASE INSTRUCTED BY HER BOSSES BECAUSE THEIR IS NO FIX.*DT CONSUMER STATED FAILED SOFTWARE WAS INSTALLED WHICH MADE IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

AT 61000 MILES 'FUEL SENSOR FAIL' WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND FUEL GAUGE READ EMPTY.ALSO FUEL LOW LIGHT CAME ON FLASHING.

SAFETY RECALL H46 MY 2003 DODGE RAM WAS IDENTIFIED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC THAT THE STEERING LINKAGE IS CLOSE TO FAILURE AND RECOMMENDED I HAVE THE DEALER DO THE RECALL. I CALLED AUTO NATION IN DENVER AREA AND WAS TOLD THERE IS A NATIONWIDE SHORTAGE OF PARTS. THEY QUOTED NOVEMBER 2019 OR DECEMBER20 19 TO GET THE PARTS? SO I AM SUPPOSED TO DRIVE A KNOWN DEFECTIVE TRUCK FOR 2 MONTHS? IN THE DAY AND AGE OF OVERNIGHTING PARTS I DON'T THINK THIS IS AN ACCEPTABLE TIME FRAME?

ALL RAMS ARE HAVING LEFTER PROBLEMS. WHEN YOU START THE TRUCK, IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S TICKING UNTIL IT FINALLY STOPS. THE SOUND IS WHEN THE TRUCK IS STATIONARY AND MOVING.

TRUCK PERFORMANCE FOLLOWING FCA V08 EMISSIONS RECALL DRAMATICALLY AFFECTED. TRUCK POSES EXTREME RISK TO OPERATORS AND SURROUNDING MOTORISTS DURING COLD & WARMUP CYCLES. SUBSTANTIAL POWER LOSS DURING THIS TIME MAKING MERGING INTO TRAFFIC/ACCELERATING AT A NORMAL PACE DANGEROUS UNTIL TRUCK REACHES FULL OPERATING TEMPERATURE. LEAD TIME REQUIRED TO MERGE IS IS EXTREME WHEN ENGINE TEMPERATURE COLD. EXPONENTIALLY AFFECTED WHEN TRAILERING DURING THIS PERIOD AS WELL. TRUCK FEELS LIKE TAKING OFF FROM A STOP IN 5TH GEAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE LOST A FEW MILES PER GALLON AND HESITATED BEFORE ACCELERATING. THERE WERE NO LEAKS PRESENT OR WARNINGS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURES RECURRED AS THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ELK GROVE DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (916-513-4234, LOCATED AT 8575 LAGUNA GROVE DR, ELK GROVE, CA 95757) WHERE THE TECHNICIANS TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE, BUT WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT BACK TO THE SAME DEALER. THE DEALER RECOMMENDED AN INSTALLATION OF A DATA COLLECTION SOFTWARE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WAS NOT INSTRUCTED ON HOW THE DATA COLLECTOR WORKED AND DECLINED THE INSTALLATION. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 63,000. *TR*JB

DODGE RAM 1500 2016 WITH 45,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING WITH 3/4 TANK OF GAS BUT FUEL GAUGE SUDDENLY READ EMPTY, FUEL SENSOR FAILURE WARNING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON,LOW FUEL LIGHT ON. I HAD TO BRAKE IMMEDIATELY THINKING GASOLINE WAS LEAKING. IT WAS A DANGEROUS STOP AND I ALMOST GOT HIT BY OTHER CARS. LUCKILY I ONLY GOT MINOR SCRATCH WHEN TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I SEARCHED THROUGH INTERNET AND SURPRISINGLY THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN SO COMMON SO MANY YEARS EVEN WITH NEW TRUCK MODELS. PLEASE MAKE IT A RECALL AND DON'T LET IT ROLL INTO THE NEW MODELS.

I PURCHASED MY DIESEL 2016 DODGE LARAMIE FROM DEALERSHIP 6 MONTHS AGO. ON THE STICKER IS STATED I WOULD GET AROUND 26 HIGHWAY MILEAGE AND AROUND 19 IN CITY. I WAS ACTUALLY GETTING THIS FUEL MILEAGE UNTIL I RECEIVED A EMISSION RECALL LETTER AND TOOK MY VEHILE IN TO HAVE A RECALL PART REPLACED. NOW I AM ONLY GETTING AROUND 18 HIGHWAY AND 14 CITY SINCE PART WAS REPLACED. I HAVE SINCE TAKEN IT TO 3 DEALERSHIPS TO HAVE THEM FIND THE PROBLEM AND ALL THEY CAN SAY IS THAT IT MUST BE THE RECALLED PART CAUSING THE LOWER FUEL MILEAGE. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS AN INJUSTICE AS I AM NOT GETTING THE STICKER GUARANTEED MILEAGE SINCE RECALL WAS FIXED. I WOULD LIKE THIS CORRECTED

DISPLAY SYSTEM, RADIO, NAV, REAR VIEW CAMERA, ECT. REAR VIEW CAMERA, SOMETIMES GOES ON WITH A SOLID GREEN SCREEN. THE RADIO SOMETIMES LOOSES IT PRESETS. THE NAV SOMETIMES WILL NOT TAKE AN ADDRESS. CHRYSLER STATES THERE IS AT LEAST 1 DOWNLOADABLE REPAIR BUT WANTS TO CHARGE FOR IT, APPROX. $125 AND IF THE DOWNLOAD DOES NOT WORK WORK AND IT MAKES THINGS WORSE, THEY STILL WANT THEIR MONEY FOR TRYING AND WILL NOT MAKE ANY REPAIRS.

FIRST TIME PARKED WITH VEHICLE TURNED OFF AND WENT IN POST OFFICE GOT BACK IN TRUCK. IGNITION WOULD NOT TURN ON MADE A FUNNY SOUND AND LOW OIL PRESSURE CAME UP THEN LIGHT CAME ON, WAITED 10 MINUTES AND STARTED UP FINE. AROUND 2 WEEKS LATER DID IT WHILE DRIVING, HAD CRUISE SET AT 75, IN THE LEFT LANE PASSING 2 VEHICLES AND ENGINE SHUT OFF IT FLASHED LOW OIL PRESSURE, I COASTED TO RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY MADE CALLS AND WAITED 15 MINUTES AND IT RESTARTED. SCHEDULED AND MADE APPOINTMENT WITH RAM DEALERSHIP, AFTER CHECKING COMPUTER AND CHANGING OIL AND FILTER FOUND NOTHING. DEALERSHIP SAID SHOULD HAVE LEFT ERROR ON COMPUTER. PICTURE WAS TAKEN OF PROOF OF OIL LIGHT AFTER BEING SHUT DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY.TOOK TO DEALERSHIP ON 9/3/2019 WITH 40,727 MILES ON RAM 1500 ECO-DIESEL TRUCK DATES ARE 8/20 AND 8/25/2019 WHEN THIS OCCURRED.

THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BREAK OFF THE HEAD OF THE BOLT ON THE REAR CYLINDER ON EACH SIDE CAUSING AN EXHAUST LEAK BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND THE MANIFOLD ON THE 5.7L HEMI. THE DEALERSHIP SAID ITS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THOSE MOTORS BUT THERE IS NO RECALL.

FULL TANK OF GAS. 38,000 MILES. FUEL SENSOR FAILURE WARNING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. LOW FUEL LIGHT ON. FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY.

TODAY I DRIVE ON THE EXPRESS WAY ON HEAVY TRAFFIC MY PEDAL BRAKE GO TOO THE END NOTICE SOMETHING IS WRONG I GET OUT ON THE FIRST EXIT WITH CAUTION AND PARKING ON SAFE PLACE I LOOK UNDER MY TRUCK WAS DRIPPING SOME FLUID I CHECK THE BRAKE FLUID CONTAINER WAS ON MINIMUM SO I DRIVE CAREFULLY TO THE FIRST AUTO PARTS AND ADD MORE BRAKE FLUID AND STILL DRIPPING SO I FOLLOW THE THE BRAKE LINES RUNS NEXT TO THE HEADERS WAS LEAKING THERE LOOK LIKE HEAT MELT THE BRAKE LINES OR SOMETHING.

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK 22 AUGUST 2019, AN 8 MILE DRIVE. I WENT TO ACCELERATE TO REACH POSTED SPEED LIMIT AFTER TURNING OFF OF A SIDE STREET ONTO MAIN ROAD. I HAD NO FORWARD MOMENTUM WHEN I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I ATTEMPTED SEVERAL TIMES TO MANUALLY SHIFT GEARS THINKING IT WAS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. THE ENGINE WOULD REV UP TO RPM BUT STILL BARELY ANY FORWARD MOMENTUM. I WAS LOSING SPEED QUICKLY. SOMETHING GRABBED MY ATTENTION, NOT SURE IF I HEARD SOMETHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY BUT I HAPPENED TO LOOK OUT MY REVIEW AND SIDE MIRRORS AND NOTICE A HUGE PLUME OF SMOKE EXITING MY VEHICLE. AT ABOUT THAT SAME MOMENT, I NOTICED A LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT FROM THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED INTO A DRIVEWAY AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS OFF, I STILL NOTICED A LARGE AMOUNT OF WHITE SMOKE BILLOWING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND FRONT WHEEL WELLS. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT TO BE A COOLANT HOSE RUPTURE DUE TO THE COLOR OF THE SMOKE/STEAM. I IMMEDIATELY JUMPED OUT AND OPENED THE HOOD THINKING IT WAS A COOLANT ISSUE. RIGHT AWAY I NOTICED A FLAME AT THE REAR OF THE ENGINE. I HAD NO ACCESS TO WATER WHERE I WAS LOCATED AND MY ONLY OPTION WAS TO BLOW IT OUT. IT WORKED FOR ME BUT PROBABLY ONLY BECAUSE I HAD GOT TO THE FIRE BEFORE IT WAS ABLE TO SPREAD TOO QUICK. FIRE/RESCUE WAS DISPATCHED, REMOVED ENGINE COVER AND NOTICED SMOLDERING PLASTIC/WIRE HARNESS AND DOUSED WITH 4-5 CUPS OF WATER UNTIL ALL TRACES OF FIRE WERE GONE. TOW TRUCK DELIVERED VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP APPROX 10 MILES FROM WHERE VEHICLE WAS DISABLED. *DT *TR

V08 AEM RECALL PERFORMED ON 6/4/19. POST RECALL, LOSS IN FUEL ECONOMY, REDUCED POWER ESPECIALLY WHEN TOWING, AND SEVERE TURBO LAG LASTING FOUR TO SEVEN SECONDS. THE SEVERE TURBO LAG IS CAUSING UNSAFE CONDITIONS WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE. THE LACK OF ACCELERATION WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS PRESSED IS PRESENT WHEN STARTING FROM A COMPLETE STOP, AS WELL AS AT VARYING TRAVEL SPEEDS. IT IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN MAKING LEFT AND RIGHT TURNS ON CITY STREETS OR WHEN MERGING INTO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC, BECAUSE THERE IS LITTLE TO NO ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE, EVEN UNDER FULL THROTTLE FOR BETWEEN FOUR AND SEVEN SECONDS. THE LAG IS SEVERE EVEN AT FULL OPERATING TEMPERATURES ABOVE 200 DEGREES. THESE ISSUES WERE NOT PRESENT IN THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THE V08/AEM RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER HAS INSISTED THAT THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE AFTER THE V08 AEM RECALL, BUT THE VEHICLE OPERATED WITHOUT THESE ISSUES BEFORE THE WORK WAS COMPLETED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S TURBO ENGINE LAGGED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING. AFTERWARDS, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY JERKED FORWARD. THE CONTACT DROVE TO WAXAHACHIE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (2405 N, I-35E, WAXAHACHIE, TX 75167, 972-694-6216), BUT NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, LOST POWER, THROTTLE CONTROL ERROR COMES ON, TRUCK WENT INTO LIMP MODE, THERE ARE SMOKES OUT THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. I TOOK THE NEXT EXIT TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. TURN INTO GAS STATION AND ENGINE GOT CUT OFF. WHEN I POP THE HOOD, SAW FIRE FROM THE TOP OF THE ENGINE. I POUR MY DRINKS WITH ICE, FEW WATER BOTTLES, AND MY FRIENDS DRINK. *DT *DT *TR

THIS VEHICLE IS A DEATH TRAP, I PURCHASED IT CERTIFIED USED FROM A RAM DEALER WITH 30K ON IT. IT RUNS AND DRIVES FINE BUT WHEN IT IS COLD AND OUT OF THE BLUE IT HAS COMPLETE DEAD PEDAL. THE TRUCK WILL NOT ACCELERATE, IT HAS ALMOST NO THROTTLE RESPONSE AND IT NOT SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL ITS WARM I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES, EVEN A SLOW UNDER POWERED MOPED WOULD SCOOT FASTER THAN THIS TRUCK WHEN ITS NOT UP TO OPERATING TEMP. THIS HAS ALL TAKEN PLACE AFTER THE EMISSIONS UPDATE DONE TO THE TRUCK BEFORE PREDELIVERY. I HAD NO IDEA IT WAS GOING TO DRIVE LIKE THIS I HAVE BANNED FAMILY AND FRIENDS FROM DRIVING IT. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT DRIVES AS IT SHOULD "POST UPDATE" THE LACK OF PEDAL RESPONSE IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED. THERE ARE NO ENGINE CODES, DEALER SAYS ITS FINE AND HAS AN PERFECT MAINTENANCE HISTORY. TODAY IT WAS A BIT COOLER OUTSIDE THAN IT HAS BEEN IN RECENT MONTHS, KNOWING THE TRUCKS CHARACTERISTICS I USED REMOTE START TO WARM IT UP. IT RAN FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES BEFORE I LEFT, I DROVE DOWN ABOUT A 1000FT PRIVATE ROAD TO A 4 LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY THAT I PULL OUT ONTO SEVERAL TIMES A DAY AND HAVE BEEN FOR TWO DECADES. NO CARS WERE COMING EXCEPT A WHITE MAZDA ABOUT TWO FIRELANES AWAY FROM ME SO MORE THAN ENOUGH ROOM, I COULD HAVE WALKED ACROSS THE ROAD. I PRESSED THE PEDAL AND THH TRUCK FELL ON ITS FACE AND TOPPED OUT AT 10 MPH UNTIL I MADE IT TO THE CENTER MEDIAN TO COMPLETE MY LEFT TURN. THE VEHICLE HAS TO MOVE INTO THE RIGHT LANE TO AVOID HITTING ME, THEY WERE BEING ABUNDANTLY CAUTIOUS BUT THIS IS NOT HOW A VEHICLE SHOULD RESPOND TO THROTTLE INPUT DURING WARM UP OR NOT. IT IS A DIESEL AND I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THEM MY WHOLE LIFE, I KNOW THEIR COLD BEHAVIOR AND THIS VEHICLE IS BROKEN. FCA SAYS ITS NORMAL.

AFTER AEM EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS UPDATE THE TRUCK AT 57,920 HAS POOR ACCELERATION FROM A START. IT DOESN'T GET OUT OF ITS ON WAY. MILEAGE DROPPED 4 MPG. HAS POOR ACCELERATION UP HILLS. THIS UPDATE CLAIMED TO NOT ALTER THE WAY THE VEHICLE DRIVES AND THAT IS NOT THE CASE. THIS IS NOT THE TRUCK THAT I ORIGINALLY BOUGHT. I HAVE BEEN ALMOST HIT SEVERAL TIMES PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC BECAUSE OF THE POOR ACCELERATION FROM A STOP "TURBO LAG" THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

AFTER AN EMISSIONS RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON ECO DIESEL ENGINE (ECM UPDATE) THE ENGINE HAS BECOME TERRIBLY SLUGGISH ON INITIAL TAKEOFF. I CAN PUSH THE GAS PETAL TO THE FLOOR AND NOTHING HAPPENS FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THERE IS INCONSISTENT ENGINE PERFORMANCE THAT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT IT FAILED TO ENGAGE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CHUCK PATTERSON DODGE (257 EAST AVE, CHICO, CA 95926, (530) 895-1771) FOR A ROUTINE INSPECTION AND AN EMISSION MODIFICATION FOR THE ECM. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 62,000.

HARD SHIFTS FROM GEAR 1 TO GEAR 2 AND DELAYED SHIFTING FROM FROM 3 TO 2 AND 2 TO 1. WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR WILL JOLT FORWARD AND AT TIMES YOU FEEL AS THOUGH YOU WERE HIT FROM BEHIND OR THAT YOU ARE GOING TO HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU DUE TO THE AGGRESSIVE JOLT OF THE TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFT.

FUEL SENSOR FAILURE. THE SENDING UNIT WHICH MEASURES FUEL LEVEL FAILED WHILE IN MOTION. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE FUEL TANK HAD TO BE DROPPED TO REPLACE THE SENSOR. A QUICK SEARCH OF ONLINE FORUMS REVEALED MANY HAVE THIS ISSUE. WITHOUT KNOWING HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK, ONE COULD BE LEFT STRANDED.

FRONT STEER TIRE BLOWOUT. DRIVING IN THE CITY. AFTER THE BLOWOUT, I HAD TO PUT ON THE TEMP SPARE. I NOTICED SOFT SPOTS ALL OVER THE TIRE. WHERE THE BLOWOUT HAPPENED WAS ALSO A SOFT SPOT. I WOULD NOT BE SO CONCERNED, BUT THESE TIRES HAD LESS THAN 26,000 MILES ON THEM AND WERE WHAT CAME FROM THE FACTORY WHEN I PURCHASED THE TRUCK BRAND NEW. THEY WERE MADE BY GOODYEAR. I WENT AND HAD ALL 4 TIRES REPLACED DUE TO THE SAFETY CONCERNS FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. LOOKING AT THE TIRES, THEY ARE SEVERELY UNDERRATED FOR THE RAM 1500 ECODIESEL.

AFTER THE AEM RECALL ON MY ECODIESEL THE ACCELERATION IS VERY SLUGGISH ESPECIALLY WHEN COLD. IT IS ENOUGH OF A PROBLEM/ CHANGE FROM THE ORIGINAL PERFORMANCE THAT PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC HAS BECOME DANGEROUS. THE TRUCK HAS A 3-5 SECOND DELAY BEFORE ADEQUATE POWER IS AVAILABLE REGARDLESS OF ACCELERATOR POSITION.

AFTER GETTING THE ECODIESEL EMISSION RECALL MY TRUCK DOES NOT ACCELERATE WHEN COLD. HAVE SEVERAL NEAR COLLISIONS AFTER PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND NOTHING HAPPENS, IT DOES NOT RESPOND TO PEDAL FOR 3 SECONDS. CONTACTED FCA AND THEY REFER ME TO DEALER, DEALER SAYS IT IS FCA SOFTWARE ISSUE.

ANOTHER RAM ECODIESEL POST-AEM SAFETY CONCERN. DID THE AEM RECALL AND INSTANTLY BECAME A SAFETY HAZARD IN TRAFFIC. EXTREME THROTTLE LAG OF 4+ SECONDS, EVEN IF FLOORING IT. TOO MANY CLOSE CALLS TO LIST MYSELF AND I DON'T LET ME WIFE DRIVE UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY (IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HER TRUCK!!). RECALL MAY BE MONETARY AND SUCH BUT THE ISSUE IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AND WILL RESULT IN MUCH LARGER ISSUES. I'VE WORKED AS A RISK MANAGEMENT SAFETY OFFICER; THIS WILL LEAD TO A BIGGER PROBLEM. EPA OR NOT, THIS "AEM FIX" IS WRONG! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GET INVOLVED AND FORCE A RECALL TO FIX THE LACK OF THROTTLE RESPONSE ON THESE VEHICLES. FOR WHAT ITS WORTH, I FOUND OUT THAT I AM NOT ELIGIBLE FOR ANY OF THE CLAIM $$ BECAUSE MY TRUCK WAS BUILT IN CANADA. GOD BLESS THE AMERICAN RAM BADGE, HUH!

I HAD MY VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE SOME RECALLS. LONG STORY SHORT IS THE "RECALL" WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO FIX EMISSIONS ISSUES. AFTER THE RECALL WORK THE ENGINE PERFORMANCE IN DANGEROUSLY BAD. THERE IS A DELAY IN ACCELERATION THAT IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED. I DON'T DRIVE MY TRUCK VERY HARD SO I DIDN'T NOTICE IT AT FIRST, BUT I WENT TO MAKE A LEFT HANDED TURN AT A LIGHT AND WAS ALMOST HIT BECAUSE MY TRUCK DIDN'T PERFROM AND IT HAD IN THE PAST. THE LITERATURE I WAS GIVEN AFTER THE "RECALL" WORK WAS DONE SAY "THE AEM IS NOT EXPECTED TO CHANGE ANY OF YOUR KEY VEHICLE ATTRIBUTES, SUCH AS RELIABILITY, DRIVABILITY, VEHICHLE PERFORMANCE ETC." FALSE. AGAIN SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET THIS DONE AND BE IN AN ACIDENT WHEN THEIR TRUCK DOES PERFORM AS IT DID IN THE PAST. I NOW DRIVE THIS LIKE ITS A GUTLESS WONDER BUT SOMONE ELSE MIGHT NOT BE AS LUCKY. I REPORTED THIS TO CHRYSTLER AND HAD IT IN THE THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS "WORKING AS INTENDED". DANGEROUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS APPLIED AND THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO MOVE AND THEN SPONTANEOUSLY ACCELERATED. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED ROUGHLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SOUTH COUNTY OF SEALY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (3704 NE I-10 FRONTAGE RD, SEALY, TX 77474, (979) 885-3400), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,600.

THE DAY I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, LITERALLY ON THE DRIVE HOME ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER SIGNING THE PAPERWORK, THE FUEL GAUGE SUDDENLY DROPPED TO EMPTY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE MESSAGE CENTER INDICATED A "FUEL SENSOR FAIL".. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND AS SOON AS I STOPPED, THE GAUGE ROSE BACK TO 3/4 TANK AND THE ISSUE DIDN'T PRESENT ITSELF AGAIN FOR A COUPLE MONTHS. NOW, EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK, THE FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY RIGHT ABOUT THE TIME IT SHOULD READ 3/4 TANK AND STARTS WORKING AGAIN AT ABOUT 1/4 TANK. THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS SPREAD OUT OVER SO MANY MODEL YEARS, I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS HASN'T GENERATED A RECALL. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED WITH JUST OVER 36,000 MILES ON IT. I NOW HAVE JUST UNDER 41,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND HAVE NO IDEA JUST HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS APPLIED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE. AFTERWARDS, THE VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CARSON DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (3059 S CARSON ST, CARSON CITY, NV 89701, (775) 883-2020) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,235.

OWN A 2016 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL TRUCK AND PARTICIPATED IN THE V08 EMISSIONS RECALL, SINCE THE RECALL HAS BEEN PREFORMED THE TRUCK SUFFERS FROM SERIOUS THROTTLE LAG WHICH I FEEL IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AS THE TRUCK HAS UNRELIABLE RESPONSE WHEN TRYING TO CROSS AN INTERSECTION.

MY VEHICLE WAS PART OF A RECENT ECODIESEL SETTLEMENT THAT REQUIRED A RECALL AND RE-FLASH OF THE VEHICLES ECM. FCA STATED THAT THE RECALL RE-FLASH WOULD NOT AFFECT THE VEHICLES PERFORMANCE. THAT IS NOT THE CASH. MY VEHICLE NOW HAS A SEVERE THROTTLE HESITATION WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP. PULLING INTO OR MERGING INTO EXISTING TRAFFIC HAS BECOME EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS CONDITION SINCE THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GREENWAY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF FLORENCE (2354 FLORENCE BLVD, FLORENCE, AL 35630, (256) 766-7324) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR WAS NEEDED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR TO BE COMPLETED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

SINCE THE FCA ECM RE-FLASH, MY TRUCK TURBO LAG IS NOW DEADLY, WHEN THE ENGINE GETS PAST THE TURBO LAG IT WILL SMOKE THE TIRES, BUT DON'T BACK OFF OR YOU START ALL OVER AGAIN WITH TURBO LAG. IVE PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND WAITED FOR THE LAG TO CATCH UP, NEARLY BEING HIT ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. FORGET DRIVING UP HILLS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED. IF IT HAD DRIVEN LIKE THIS WHEN I TEST DROVE IT, I NEVER WOULD HAVE BOUGHT IT! MY FAMILY HAS LITERALLY YELLED WATCH OUT DAD! WHEN I TRY TO PULL INTO EVEN MILD TRAFFIC FROM A STOP.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE A 2016 DODGE RAM 1500 WITH 33000 MILES ON IT.THE OTHER DAY MY GAS LIGHT CAME SO I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THINKING I HAD A LEAK BECAUSE I JUST FILLED UP THE DAY BEFORE THEN I GOT A MESSAGE ON THE DASH THAT SAID FUEL SENSOR FAIL SO I WENT ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT IT IS A VERY COMMON KNOWN PROBLEM THAT DODGE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING TO FIX AFTER READING UP ON IT I FULLY BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE RECALLED AND RESOLVED

AEM EMISSIONS RECALL V08/RAM DEALER COMPUTER REPROGRAMING COMPLETED 20 JUNE 2019. PCM FLASHING FROM P/N: 68280881AH TO TARGET P/N: 68280881A0 AND TCM FLASHING FROM P/N: 68282282AD TO TARGET P/N: 68282282AI. POST 2016 RAM ECODIESEL RECALL. MY POST AEM EMISSIONS RECALL/RAM DEALER COMPUTER REPROGRAMING HAS CREATED A SIGNIFICANTLY IMPAIRED VEHICLE WITH UNPREDICTABLE ACCELERATION LAG AND IMPAIRED ENGINE RESPONSE. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER, THE VEHICLE HAS JUST UNDER 44K MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY AND HAS NOT BEEN MODIFIED IN ANY WAY FROM MANUFACTURER SPECS. THE VEHICLE BECAME IMPAIRED AFTER THE EPA/DOJ FORCED RECALL FOR EMISSIONS CONTROL TAMPERING. THIS UPDATE HAS PUT ME AND MY FAMILY IS SEVERAL SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. WHEN MERGING ONTO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC THE TRUCK HAS SIGNIFICANT/SEVER POWER OR RESPONSIVENESS. PULLING OUT INTO/ON CROSS STREET INTERSECTIONS OR FROM BUSINESSES ENTRY/DRIVEWAYS INTO TRAFFIC THE TRUCK HAS LITTLE TO NO POWER OR GAS PEDAL RESPONSIVENESS FOR APPROXIMATELY 2-4 SECONDS UPON PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, THEN WILL SUDDENLY ACCELERATE UNEXPECTEDLY AND VERY RAPIDLY, TO THE POINT OF SPINNING THE TIRES. THIS SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER OR ACCELERATION LAG SITUATION HAPPENS SPORADICALLY AT INDISCRIMINATE TIMES, WITH NO PREDICTABLE PATTERN TO IT. IT SEEMS TO BE MORE PREVALENT UPON INITIAL START UP ENGINE TEMPERATURES, BUT ALSO CONTINUES AT SOMEWHAT LESS FREQUENT INTERVALS AFTER REACHING NORMAL OPERATING TEMPS. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SAFETY HAZARD WHEN IN A PARKING LOT WITH PEDESTRIANS OR TRYING TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC. PLEASE DO SOMETHING QUICKLY ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AS FCA IS CLAIMING THIS IS NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATIONS AND THAT THERE IS NO ISSUE. THIS HAS NEARLY CAUSED ACCIDENTS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.

I HAVE A 2016 RAM ECODIESEL THAT HAD NO PERFORMANCE ISSUES PRIOR TO THE RECALL. IT IS NOW VERY SLUGGISH, LACKS POWER AND IS SLOW GETTING TO SPEED, ALSO HUNTS/SEARCHES FOR GEARS. IT HAS BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN ACCELERATING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. I HAVE LOGGED A COMPLAINT WITH FCA AND MY CASE NUMBER IS #59458742.

AFTER FCA COMPLETED THE EMISSIONS RECALL ON MY 2016 RAM THE TRUCK NOW DOES NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC. THIS IS CAUSED SEVERAL ISSUES WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC OR ONTO THE INTERSTATE. ALSO WHILE PULLING A TRAILER I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY INTO TRAFFIC OR TO THE HIGHWAY. DUE TO THIS WHILE PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC I HAVE BARELY AVOIDED SEVERAL WRECKS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE CONTACT WOULD DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE CHECK ELECTRIC CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO RESUME NORMAL OPERATION. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOM DINSDALE AUTOMOTIVE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (2800 OSBORNE DR E, HASTINGS, NE 68901, (402) 463-3104) AND A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS PERFORMED, BUT A FAILURE CODE COULD NOT BE LOCATED. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TEST DRIVEN, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,545.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2016 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH WITH THE SEAT BELT SECURED, THE CONTACT BECAME DISTRACTED BY HIS PHONE AND CRASHED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE AT A RED LIGHT. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE OF AN UNKNOWN VAN AS A RESULT THE VAN SPUN AND CRASHED BACK INTO THE REAR DRIVER SIDE PANEL OF THE CONTACTS VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED NECK INJURIES HOWEVER MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT PROVIDED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WAS NO FIRE DUE TO THE CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT LOT. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE INSURANCE COMPANY DEEMED THE VEHICLE A TOTAL LOSS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000. *DT *DT*JB

AFTER HAVING THE EMISSIONS RECALL APPLIED TO MY TRUCK, I HAVE LOST ACCELERATION FROM A STOPPED POSITION. THE THROTTLE LAG IS DANGEROUS AND UNPREDICTABLE. THIS MAKES TURNING THROUGH TRAFFIC VERY UNSAFE.

AEM REFLASH AS REQUIRED BY THE FCA EMISSIONS RECALL #V08 HAS CAUSED THE TRUCK TO ACCELERATE VERY SLOWLY, CAUSING NUMEROUS NEAR MISSES WHEN CROSSING AND TURNING PAST ONCOMING TRAFFIC. DEALERSHIP REPORTS ALL RECALLED CUSTOMERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUES.

RAM ECODIESEL RECALL. MY POST AEM EMISSIONS FLASH HAS CREATED A SIGNIFICANTLY IMPAIRED VEHICLE WITH UNPREDICATABLE ACCCELLERATION AND ENGINE RESPONSE. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND THE VEHICLE BECAME IMPARIED AFTER THE EPA/DOJ FORCED RECALL FOR EMMISSIONS CONTROL TAMPERING. THIS UPDATE HAS PUT MY FAMILY IS SEVERAL SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. MERGING ONTO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC THE TRUCK HAS NO POWER OR RESPONSIVENESS. PULLING OUT OF SIDE STREETS ACROSS TRAFFIC THE TRUCK HAS NO POWER OR RESPONSIVENESS. THE TRUCKS MPG HAS GONE DOWN NEARLY 15% AND DEF CONSUPTION HAS INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY. PLEASE DO SOMETHING AS FCA IS CLAIMING THERE IS NO ISSUE. THIS HAS NEARLY CAUSED ACCIDENTS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.

EMISSION RECALL(ECM REPROGRAM) VEHICLE NOW HAS A SEVERE UNPREDICTABLE LACK OF THROTTLE RESPONSE SINCE RECALL WAS PERFORMED, FCA NOR DEALER HAS ANY IDEA WHEN THIS WILL BE FIXED. WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AT HIGHER AMBIENT TEMPS, THE VEHICLE OFTEN FAILS TO RESPOND TO THE THROTTLE UNTIL ABOUT 3/4 THROTTLE. THEN IT SUDDENLY RESPONDS AS IF IT IS AT FULL THROTTLE. THIS WILL CAUSE SOME SERIOUS ACCIDENTS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER AN UNKNOWN RECALL REGARDING THE EMISSIONS. AFTER THE EMISSIONS REPAIR, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE OCCASIONALLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE AND BECOME SLUGGISH AND SPUTTER AFTER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. MOJAVE AUTO GROUP (631 MAIN ST, BARSTOW, CA 92311, (760) 256-3502) TESTED THE VEHICLE, BUT COULD NOT REPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE SERVICE MANAGER PARTICIPATED IN A RIDE ALONG AND THE FAILURE WAS FINALLY REPLICATED; HOWEVER, THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE SHOWED NO CODES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A LIFETIME POWER TRAIN WARRANTY, BUT THE EMISSION REPAIR HAD TO BE PERFORMED IN ORDER TO HONOR THE WARRANTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE COULD HAVE OPTED OUT OF THE EMISSION REPAIR, WHICH HE FELT CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT REMEDY THE FAILURE BECAUSE NHTSA ISSUED A NATIONWIDE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. WHEN THE ENGINE WAS STARTED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE IN A TIMELY MANNER WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. ALSO, THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE IMMEDIATELY IN TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MCLARTY DANIEL CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT (3709 SOUTH THOMPSON STREET, SPRINGDALE, ARKANSAS 72764, (479)-751-4563) FOR A MANUFACTURER'S EMISSION RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,500.

AFTER THE FCA EMISSIONS RECALL, MY VEHICLE HAS A SUBSTANTIAL 'LAG' AFTER PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE LACKS ENGINE POWER, AND IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IT IS A JAZZERS WHEN TRYING TO PULL OUT WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I TOOK IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AS DESIGNED IF THIS IS TRULY THE DESIGN. DODGE NEEDS TO BE FORCED TO ADDRESS THE 'LAG' IN ACCELERATION AND LACK OF POWER BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR WORSE.

ECODIESEL EMISSION FIX . WELL I LOVED MY TRUCK TILL THEY FIXED IT .NOW AT LOW SPEEDS IT DOESN'T ACCELERATE MAKING IT VERY DANGEROUS. I TOOK IT BACK TO RAM AND THEY SAID THAT'S THE FIX AND IT WAS THE GOVERNMENTS FAULT. WELL I KNOW IT'S FCA FAULT AND I DON'T THINK THEY CAN FIX IT PROPERLY OR THEY WOULD OF DONE SO AT THE FACTORY.. SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED OR KILL SOMEONE . WHEN YOU HIT THE PEDAL AND NOTHING HAPPENS FOR 2 TO 3 SECONDS THAN TAKES OFF SOMEONE WILL GET HURT . TO THINK OUR GOVERNMENT AND THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AGREED TO THIS IS A DISGRACE. I'LL NEVER BUY A FCA PRODUCT AND TELL EVERYONE THE SAME

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. AS A RESULT, I HAVE CHANGED MY DAILY DRIVING HABITS TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN LOW END PERFORMANCE POST-AEM INSTALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WOLFECHASE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (8170 US-64, BARTLETT, TN 38133, (901)-373-3030) TO BE REPAIRED PER AN UNKNOWN RECALL REGARDING THE ECO DIESEL ENGINE EMISSION. THE REPAIR DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND THE FUEL MILEAGE WAS REDUCED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,153.

THERE WAS A NATIONWIDE RECALL ON THE ECODIESEL ENGINE DUE TO A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT. THE REPAIR WAS MADE AND NOW THE TRUCK DOES NOT ACCELERATE UNTIL THE ENGINE WARMS UP. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS YOU PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND THE TRUCK DOES NOT GO. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT AS TRUCK STALLS AND THEN ACCELERATES A FULL 4-5 SECONDS LATER. I WILL NOT LET ANYONE ELSE DRIVE MY TRUCK NOW DUE TO THIS DANGER. IN CHECKING WITH OTHER OWNERS EVERYONE WHO HAS THE "UPDATE" DONE PER THE LAWSUIT IS HAVING THE SAME DANGEROUS PROBLEM. TO BE SPECIFIC, WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD, YOU HIT THE ACCELERATOR, THE TRUCK DOES NOT ACCELERATE FOR 4-5 SECONDS. THIS CAUSES YOU TO ROLL SLOWLY INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

I PURCHASED A 2016 RAM 1500 IN MAY 2019 WITH APPROXIMATELY 25K MILES ON IT. A FEW DAYS AFTER PURCHASING I NOTICED A VIBRATION COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK THAT'S CAUSES THE WHOLE BED TO SHAKE AROUND 65+ MPH. 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". I TEST DRIVE WITH THE SHOP MANAGER AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HE NOTICES THE VIBRATION AND TELLS ME TO LEAVE THE TRUCK WITH HIM A COUPLE DAYS WHILE HE TROUBLESHOOTS IT. TWO DAYS LATER HE CALLS AND TELLS ME THAT ONE OF MY BACK RIMS IS BENT AND THAT'S WHAT'S CAUSING THE VIBRATION. I REPLACE THE RIM, GET ALL FOUR TIRES BALANCED AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME AND THE VIBRATION IS STILL THERE.

2016 RAM 1500 4WD SHAKES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 60+ MPH. STARTED HAPPENING AFTER ABOUT 30,000 MILES AND THE TRUCK NOW HAS 75000. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY POSTS/BLOGS ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THE SHAKING COMES AND GOES ABOUT EVERY 1/2 MILE. WILL RIDE FAIRLY SMOOTH THEN IT REALLY STARTS SHAKING AND FEELS LIKE IT IS UNDER THE CENTER OF THE TRUCK. IT DOES NOT AFFECT THE STEERING WHEEL. THEN AFTER ABOUT A 1/2 MILE IT MOSTLY GOES AWAY, IN ANOTHER 1/2 MILE IT COMES BACK AND THE PATTERN CONSTANTLY REPEATS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY HAVE REPLACED BOTH REAR UPPER AND LOWER TRAILING ARMS, 2 SETS OF ALL NEW TIRES, ONE SET NORMALLY BALANCED AND ONE SET WAS ROAD FORCE BALANCED, HAVE CHANGED OUT WHEELS, REPLACED SHOCKS, AND STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE TRAILING ARMS UNDER WARRANTY THE REST HAS BEEN PAID FOR BY ME OUT OF POCKET. IT IS A DRIVE TRAIN ISSUE HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIP HAS STOPPED LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM. I AM BEYOND FRUSTRATED AS I HAVE NO RECOURSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND CAN'T KEEP PAYING FOR ALL THESE PARTS OUT OF POCKET. IT IS NOT SAFE GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE IN THE RAIN TAKING CORNERS WHEN IT STARTS SHAKING. I HAVE RECEIPTS FOR EVERYTHING AND CAN GET DEALER DOCUMENTATION IF NEEDED.

WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FROM A DEAD STOP THE VEHICLE HAS AN EXTREMELY SLOW RESPONSE TIME. AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD AND ACCELERATES. THIS WAS NOT AN ISSUE UNTIL AFTER THE EMISSIONS RECALL WAS CONDUCTED ON THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE AS THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY WITH THE ENGINE COOLANT UNDER 150 DEGREES F. AFTER THE TEMP REACHES 150 DEGREES F THE ISSUE SEEMS TO SUBSIDE AND GO AWAY.

AFTER GETTING THE EPA REQUIRED EMISSIONS RECALL COMPLETED (V08) THIS TRUCK IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD. THERE IS A LONG DELAY IN THROTTLE RESPONSE (3-5 SECONDS FROM THE TIME I HIT THE THROTTLE FROM A STOP UNTIL THE TIME THE TRUCK HAS ANY SORT OF RESPONSE) WHICH MAKES IT EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC OR CROSS TRAFFIC LANES. THERE IS ALSO VERY LITTLE THROTTLE RESPONSE WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE ONTO A FREEWAY. I HAVE ALREADY HAD A FEW NEAR MISSES IN THE 3 WEEKS AFTER I HAD THE UPDATE DONE. NONE OF THESE ISSUES EXISTED BEFORE THE V08 RECALL WAS PREFORMED.

RECEIVED THE V08 RECALL UPDATE. WAS TOLD THIS UPDATE WOULD NOT AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE, DRIVABILITY, EFFICIENCY NOR SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNTRUE!! THE VEHICLE PERFORMANCE IS PLAGUED WITH DANGEROUS DELAYS IN ACCELERATION, POOR SHIFTING TO THE POINT OF BEING A SIGNIFICANT LIFE-SAFETY ISSUE!! FROM A STOPPED POSITION, STEPPING ON THE GAS WILL PRODUCE A 2-3 SECOND DELAY. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC - SEVERE RISK OF BEING BROAD-SIDED OR REAR-ENDED! GEAR SHIFTS ARE OUT OF SYNC AND DO NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT PERFORMANCE TO AVOID ACCIDENTS FROM A STOPPED (I.E. INTERSECTION) OR MOVING (I.E. PASSING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS) MOTION. TOO MANY CLOSE-CALLS WITH POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS/FATAL ACCIDENTS DUE TO SIGNIFICANTLY MODIFIED AND HINDERED RECALL UPDATE!! THESE ISSUES ARE WELL-DOCUMENTED ONLINE AND CONSISTENT WITH OTHER VEHICLE OWNERS WHOM HAVE HAD THIS RECALL UPDATE. IT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE BEFORE PEOPLE START TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT AND/OR DIE!!!

AFTER HAVING THE EMISSION RECALL COMPETED ON MY 2016 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL I AM EXPERIENCING MAJOR POWER LOSS IN CERTAIN OPERATING CONDITIONS. THIS CONDITION INCLUDES REDUCED THROTTLE RESPONSE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AFTER COLD STARTING. SINCE THIS RECALL THERE IS SIGNIFICANT LAG IN THE THROTTLE LEADING TO TRAFFIC HAVING TO SLOW DOWN BECAUSE I'M NOT ACCELERATING. I CAN PUSH THE THROTTLE TO THE FLOOR AND THERE IS VERY LITTLE RPM INCREASE. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS AFTER EVERY COLD START AND THERE IS A LARGER LAG IF THE AIR CONDITIONER IS ON. THIS THROTTLE LAG ONLY STARTED OCCURRING AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED AND HAS OCCURRED REGULARLY SINCE.

AFTER SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR EMISSIONS ISSUE TRUCK FAILS TO ACCELERATE IN A SAFE MANNER WHEN ENGINE IS COLD. WHEN ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS PRESSED IT TAKES UP 5 SECONDS FOR ENGINE RPM TO INCREASE TO THE POINT THAT THE TURBO CHARGER WILL CUT IN. THIS CAUSE THE TRUCK TO ENTER AN INTERSECTION WITH OUT ENOUGH SPEED TO SAFELY COMPLETE THE TRANSITION THOUGH THE INTERSECTION IF TRAFFIC IS COMING. WHEN ENGIN IS HOT THIS DOES NOT OCCUR. I HAD 2 NEAR MISSES BEFORE I REALIZED WHAT WAS OCCURRING. I RETURNED TRUCK TO DEALER FOR SERVICE AND WAS INFORMED THIS WAS NORMAL AFTER THE SOFTWARE UPDATE AND OTHER TRUCKS HAD THE SAME ISSUE. INFORMED THEM THIS PRESENTED A UNSAFE CONDITION.

FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAILURE, CAUSES FUEL GAUGE TO READ ZERO AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. FIRST GAUGE WILL READ INCORRECTLY THEN FALL TO JUST READING ZERO, HAPPENS IN ALL CONDITIONS OF DRIVING AND VEHICLE RUNNING. ITS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR THE RAM 1500. REQUIRES FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY TO BE REPLACED AS THE SENSOR IS BUILT INTO THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY.

AFTER HAVING THE EMISSION RECALL COMPETED ON MY 2016 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL I AM EXPERIENCING MAJOR POWER LOSS IN CERTAIN OPERATING CONDITIONS. THIS CONDITION INCLUDES REDUCED THROTTLE RESPONSE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AFTER COLD STARTING. I WILL START MY TRUCK AND DRIVE 2 BLOCK TO A 50 MPH HIGHWAY. AFTER STOPPING AT THE STOP SIGN I WILL ACCELERATE ACROSS THE LANES OF THE HIGHWAY. SINCE THIS RECALL THERE IS SIGNIFICANT LAG IN THE THROTTLE LEADING TO TRAFFIC HAVING TO SLOW DOWN BECAUSE I'M NOT ACCELERATING. I CAN PUSH THE THROTTLE TO THE FLOOR AND THERE IS VERY LITTLE RPM INCREASE. I'M BASICALLY IDLING FORWARD INTO 50 MPH TRAFFIC WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS AND AFTER CONSULTING WITH FCA THEY HAVE COME BACK AND TOLD ME THIS IS THE NEW NORMAL FOR MY TRUCK. THE SECOND DEALER HAS EVEN STATED THEY ARE ABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE AND AFTER SUBMITTING THEIR FINDINGS TO FCA THEY WERE TOLD TO INFORM ME THAT THIS IS NORMAL. THIS LIMITED THROTTLE RESPONSE IS ESPECIALLY CONCERNING GIVEN THE SPEED OF THE ROAD I LIVE OFF OF AND THE FACT THAT FCA CONSIDERS THIS NORMAL. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS AFTER EVERY COLD START AND THERE IS A LARGER LAG IF THE AIR CONDITIONER IS ON. THIS THROTTLE LAG ONLY STARTED OCCURRING AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON 5/30/2019 AND HAD OCCURRED REGULARLY SINCE.

RECEIVED A RECALL TO INSTALL AEM COMPUTER UPDATE. SINCE THE UPDATE I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING ACCELERATION DELAYS FROM A STOP THERE IS A 3-5 SEC DELAY IN ACCELERATION. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD TRYING TO MERGE I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD A # OF TIMES TO AVOID A REAR END ACCIDENT. IN ADDITION MY GAS MILEAGE HAS ALSO BEEN DECREASED FROM AN AVERAGE OF 18-20 MPG DOWN TO 14-16 MPG. THIS PROBLEM AFTER THE AEM UPDATE MUST BE CORRECT QUICKLY AS DRIVING THE VEHICLE HAS BECOME DANGEROUS.

SINCE THE APPROVED FIRMWARE MODIFICATION PER MDL NO. 2777 (N.D. CAL.) THE VEHICLE HAS EXTREME DELAY IN ACCELERATION. MULTIPLE TIMES THIS LAG HAS SLOWED ME IN THE PATH OF MOVING TRAFFIC AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN. I DO NOT PULL INTO TRAFFIC UNSAFELY BUT THE LACK OF THROTTLE RESPONSE HAS CREATED AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. IT IS NOT PREDICTABLE AND ALMOST SEEMS TO CUT THROTTLE AT RANDOM TIMES.OFTEN ONCE THE VEHICLE DOES RESPOND AFTER THE DELAY IT CAUSES WHEEL SPIN ALSO CREATING A HAZARDOUS POTENTIAL IN ADVERSE WEATHER

I HAD THE AEM (APPROVED EMISSIONS MODIFICATION) DONE ON MY 2016 RAM 1500 3.0 ECODIESEL ON 07/02/2019. WHEN I PICKED UP THE TRUCK I ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY ISSUES WITH ANYONE THAT HAS HAD THIS PERFORMED. I WAS TOLD BY THE TECH HE HAS NOT AWARE OF ANY ISSUES WITH THIS BEING DONE AND THE ONLY THING HE HAS HEARD IS AN IMPROVEMENT OF MPG. 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 HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT 3 TIMES NOW WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. THIS IN MY OPINION IS UNACCEPTABLE!!! LIKE I SAID BEFORE I UNDERSTAND THERE IS LAG IN A TURBO DIESEL BUT 7 SECONDS! WHEN YOU PUSH THE ACCELERATOR AND THE VEHICLE DOESNT RESPOND THAT IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN TO ME. I WISH I HAD NEVER HAD THIS PERFORMED NOW BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN THOROUGHLY IMPRESSED WITH THIS VEHICLE IN EVERY ASPECT UNTIL NOW. I FEEL THAT OWNERS SHOULD BE AT LEAST GIVEN SOME TYPE OF HEADS UP TO THIS SITUATION BECAUSE BEFORE LONG THIS IS GOING TO START CAUSING PEOPLE TO WRECK. WHEN YOU DRIVE A VEHICLE YOU GET USED TO THE WAY IT DRIVES. THIS HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED HOW THIS TRUCK RESPONDS AND NOT IN A GOOD WAY. ITS LIKE A WHOLE DIFFERENT VEHICLE NOW. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS!

DANGEROUS AND INCONSISTENT ENGINE POWER. AFTER UPDATE OF ECU FOR EMISSIONS (V08) CONTROL RECALL THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFELY DRIVABLE. WHEN TRYING TO PULL OUT OR AWAY ACCELERATION JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN, TRUCK FAILS TO MOVE AND IS SUBJECT TO BEING HIT. AFTER A COUPLE SECONDS POWER RETURNS. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO FIX THIS, 'THAT'S THE WAY IT IS NOW' IS WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD. FCA AGREED TO MAKE THIS EM EMISSIONS UPDATE WITH NO CHANGE IN PERFORMANCE, THIS HAS NOT BEEN THE CASE. IF NOT FIXED PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE KILLED IN AN ACCIDENTS. I HAVE SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS ALREADY.

TRUCK WAS RUNNING FINE WITH NO ISSUES UNTIL THE EMISSIONS V08 RECALL. TRUCK NOW HAS A SIGNIFICANT LAG WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION. IT TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN TURNING (PULLING OUT FROM A STOPPED POSITION). IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED US TO GET IN TO TWO DIFFERENT ACCIDENTS DUE TO LACK OF ACCELERATION. MY WHOLE FAMILY WAS IN THE CAR AT THE TIME. I REFUSE TO LET MY CHILDREN RIDE AS PASSENGERS NOW BECAUSE IT IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK. MY TRUCK WAS FINE BEFORE THE RECALL SOFTWARE UPDATE (V08) AND NOW IT'S A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. IN MAY OF 2019, THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 10121879 (POWER TRAIN) BY CROWN CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (6350 PERIMETER LOOP RD, DUBLIN, OH 43017). AFTER THE REPAIR, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THEN LUNGED FORWARD. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AT LEAST TWELVE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND REPAIRED APPROXIMATELY SIX TIMES, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,484. *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED ON THE VEHICLE BUT THERE WAS STILL A LONG LAG IN ACCELERATION. *TR

AFTER HAVING THE REQUIRED AEM RECALL FLASHED TO MY ECODIESEL ECU THE TRUCK HAS SERIOUS PERFORMANCE ISSUES THAT DID NOT EXIST BEFORE. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT A COUPLE OF TIMES BECAUSE OF HORRIBLE LAG. I HAVE HAD 2 ECODIESEL TRUCKS, A 2014 AND THIS 2016 AND THIS KIND OF SCARY LACK OF POWER WAS NEVER AN ISSUE BEFORE THE EPA SETTLEMENT UPDATE. THE DRIVEABILITY AND SAFETY HAVE BEEN DRAMATICALLY REDUCED.

AFTER RECEIVING THE V08 ECODIESEL EMISSIONS UPDATE, THE VEHICLE PERFORMANCE HAS SUFFERED SIGNIFICANTLY! THE ACCELERATION DELAY/LAG IS TRULY A LIFE-SAFETY ISSUE AND WILL CAUSE A LIFE-THREATENING ACCIDENT. IN ADDITION TO THE SIGNIFICANT DELAYS IN ACCELERATION (ESPECIALLY WHEN "COLD" AND WHEN MERGING ONTO TRAFFIC), THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HAVE BEEN ALTERED TO BE UNRESPONSIVE AND SIGNIFICANTLY HINDER PERFORMANCE. THE VEHICLE IS DANGEROUSLY UNSAFE WITH THE CURRENT RECALL UPDATE!!

AFTER RECEIVING THE EMISSIONS RECALL UPDATE V08 ON MY RAM ECODIESEL IT NOW HAS A LAG WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL THAT HAS NEARLY RESULTED IN ME BEING HIT BY OTHER DRIVERS BECAUSE THE TRUCK WILL NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY. THIS IS MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN AT A STOP AND MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE THROTTLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. AFTER THE CONTACT APPLIED FULL PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE SLOWLY ACCELERATED AND THE TURBO ENGINE RESPONDED, WHICH THEN CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE RAPIDLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LITHIA DODGE (4025 10TH AVE GREAT FALLS, MT 59405, 406-205-3430) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TURBO ENGINE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

AFTER HAVING THE AEM RECALL DONE TRUCK HAS LACK OF POWER. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOP TRUCK DOES NOT TAKE OFF RIGHT AWAY. GETS A LITTLE BETTER WHEN WARMED UP BUT STILL VERY SLUGGISH.

FILLED UP MY FUEL TANK AND AS YOU DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD YOUR FUEL GAGE CONTINUES TO GO UP AND DOWN. THEN YOUR LOW FUEL LIGHT GOES OFF. THEN YOU GET A FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CODE THAT COMES UP ON THE DASH. THESE WARNINGS BUZZERS CONTINUE TO GO OFF REGARDLESS IF THE TANK IS FULL.

FCA ECODIESEL EMISSIONS RECALL - AEM SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED ON MY 2016 RAM ECODIESEL (JUNE 3, 2019) BY SERVICING DEALER. SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO IMPACT VEHICLE PERFORMANCE, DRIVABILITY, FUEL ECONOMY, ETC. THIS IS NOT THE CASE AS ALL INDICATED CHARACTERISTICS HAVE BEEN NEGATIVELY AFFECTED BY THIS UPDATE. MOST CONCERNING IS THE AEM RECALL SOFTWARE UPDATE HAS INDUCED A SIGNIFICANT THROTTLE RESPONSE DELAY WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP OR AT LOW SPEEDS UNTIL THE ENGINE REACHES FULL OPERATING TEMPERATURE. IN SOME INSTANCES THROTTLE RESPONSE DELAY IS AS LONG AS 3 OR 4 SECONDS BEFORE THE ENGINE WILL RESPOND AND ACCELERATE. THIS CREATES AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION WHEN TRYING TO TURN ONTO A BUSY ROAD OR ACCELERATE IN NORMAL OR HEAVY TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE TURNING ONTO A BUSY ROAD UNTIL THE ENGINE IS AT FULL TEMPERATURE FOR FEAR OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. ONCE THE ENGINE DROPS BELOW A CERTAIN TEMPERATURE THE ACCELERATION DELAY COMES BACK. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH FCA CHRYSLER ASAP BEFORE PEOPLE GET HURT OR KILLED.

"ECO DIESEL EMISSIONS UPDATE," UPON HAVING MY TRUCK ECM FLASHED WITH THE COURT SETTLEMENT EMISSION UPDATE, I HAVE OBSERVED SEVERE POWER LOSS. TO THE POINT OF 4-5 SECONDS OF DELAY WHEN INITIALLY PULLING OUT IN TO TRAFFIC ON ANY ROAD OR HIGHWAY. VERY SLUGGISH AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT . THIS STARTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE UPDATE . MY TRUCK DROVE FINE BEFORE THE UPDATE.

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING IS FAILING. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AS WELL AS WHILE IT IS IN MOTION. OCCURS AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, AS SOON AS THE STEERING WHEEL IS MOVED AN ERROR IS DISPLAYS READING "SERVICE POWER STEERING".

THE TRUCK IS STATIONARY AND IS TURNED OFF AND WHEN I PUSH THE PUSH TO START BUTTON THE TRUCK BEGINS TO TURN ON AND CUTS OFF BEFORE IT FULLY BEGINS TO RUN. TURNS OFF MID IGNITION AND DIES. HAVE TO PUSH TO START MORE THAN ONCE.

FUEL SENSOR FAIL THIS HAPPEN WHEN I HAVE TO BRAKE HARD

WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED TO A STOP THERE IS A SURGE THAT FEELS LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN HIT FROM THE REAR.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED AND PUT IN DRIVE, THE SCREEN DISPLAYS A NOTE SAYING VEHICLE NOT IN PARK! AND WILL NOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS I PUT IT BACK IN PARK, TURN OFF THE VEHICLE , WAIT A COUPLE OF SECONDS AND RETRY

LOUD LIFTER NOISE AT COLD START AND IDELING STATIONARY AND IN MOTION

POWER STEERING GOES IN AND OUT.

I WAS ACCELERATING TO ENTER HIGHWAY I35 IN SAN ANTONIO WHEN MY DASHBOARD LIT UP WITH MULTIPLE FLASHING LIGHTS. CHECK ENGINE, LOW FUEL INDICATOR, FUEL SENSOR FAILURE ERROR CODE, ALONG WITH THE RINGING ALARM THAT THERE WAS NO FUEL. I AM NOW IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF I35 TRAVELING 65 MPH AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT SHOULD I RISK CUTTING BACK ACROSS THE TRAFFIC I JUST MERGED WITH TO EXIT BEFORE I GET STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE LANE, OR RISK RUNNING OUT OF FUEL AND EXIT THE NEXT EXIT MORE SAFELY. I CHOSE TO CUT OFF THE TRAFFIC SO THAT I DIDN'T RISK GETTING STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. THIS WAS DANGEROUS, AND I AM GLAD I DIDN'T HAVE MY KIDS IN THE TRUCK WITH ME. THESE FAULTY FUEL SENSORS THAT ARE ON THE FUEL PUMPS NEED REDESIGNED. MOPAR SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE BEFORE REAL TRAGEDY HAPPENS.

PURCHASE NEW AT DEALER, PROBLEM WITH FORWARD MOVEMENTS AFTER FULL STOP. TAKE TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD TO WAIT, TRANSMISSION WOULD LEARN. NO IMPROVEMENTS, TAKE TO DEALER AGAIN ,THEY REDO SOFTWARE AND ADVICE TO DRIVE MINIMUM 700 MILES. NO IMPROVEMENTS AFTER 3000 MILES. WENT BACK TO DEALER, DROVE WITH TRANSMISSION MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT SOME RAM'S HAVE A PROBLEM AND THEY ARE WORKING ON NEW SOFTWARE.DECIDE TO WAIT FOR FIX. WITH ALMOST 31,000 MILES TAKE TO DEALER AGAIN. TRANSMISSION WAS CHECKED ( 9 DAYS AT DEALER SHOP ). FINAL RESULT, TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTING BETWEEN 2-1 THERE IS JERK FEELING ( NORMAL ). I DEMANDED THAT DEALER PUT ON WORKSHEET INVOICE THAT TRANSMISSION IS PUSHING TRUCK FORWARD AFTER FULL STOP ! DEALER DO NOT PUT THIS ON INVOICE. I HAVE A FORWARD MOVEMENT AFTER STOP ( LIKE SOMEBODY REAR ENDED ME , GET BUMPED TO ) AND NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT HARD DOWNSHIFTING. TIME TO TIME, THIS FORWARD MOVEMENT IS VERY "STRONG" AND IN RUSH HOURS DRIVING CLOSE TO OTHER CARS I CAN REALLY HIT CAR FRONT OF ME. AT EACH STOPPING, IS VERY UNPLEASANT FILLING. MUST APPLIED MORE PRESSURE AT BRAKES AT EACH TIME MAKING STOP. OWNED LOTS OF CARS IN MY LIFE AND NEVER HAVE ONE WHICH DID SIMILAR PROBLEMS EVEN AFTER HUNDREDS THOUSANDS MILES.

POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING WITH LESS THAN 2000 MILES ON ODOMETER. REPORTED THIS TO NHTSA AT THAT TIME. DEALER COULD NOT GET PROBLEM TO REPEAT. POWER STEERING WENT OUT THIS WEEK AT 53,000 MILES AND DEALER HAVING TROUBLE DIAGNOSING SOURCE OF PROBLEM. AFRAID TO DRIVE VEHICLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT TURNED THEIR VEHICLE ON AND ATTEMPTED TO REVERSE FROM THEIR PARKING SPACE, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO REVERSE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS A TRAILER ATTACHED TO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO REVERSE. THE "R' FOR REVERSE ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT CALLED ATLANTIC DODGE (555 SUNRISE HWY, WEST ISLIP, NY 11795 (631) 422-01230) WHERE THE MECHANICS STATED THAT THEY WHERE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE FAILURE EXPEREINCED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,031.

AROUND 2-3 THOUSAND RPM MY 2016 DODGE RAM 1500 TRADESMAN WITH 23,000 MILES GET THIS HORRIBLE VIBRATION THAT SEEMS TO ORIGINATE FROM THE TRANSMISSION AREA OF THE VEHICLE. THIS VIBRATION FEELS LIKE IT COULD BE THE DRIVESHAFT OR TRANSMISSION. DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAST I'M GOING, AS SOON AS I LET OFF THE GAS AND THE TRUCK BEGINS TO DOWNSHIFT I START FEELING THE VIBRATION ONCE I PRESS THE GAS TO ACCELERATE AGAIN IT'S FEELS LIKE THE WHOLE BOTTOM OF THE TRUCK IS VIBRATING BROUGHT THE GAS PEDAL AS IF I'M RIDING ON A RUMBLE STRIP. I LITERALLY HAVE TO ALMOST FLOOR IT FOR THE VIBRATION TO GO AWAY.

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. OTHERS COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR KILLED AS WELL.

AFTER I BOUGHT MY 2016 RAM 1500 IN FEBRUARY 2019 I NOTICED MY HORN AND THE EVIC ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STOPPED WORKING CAUSING ME NOT TO BE ABLE TO READ MY TPMS OR OIL LIFE OR ANY OTHER EVIC FUNCTIONS. ALSO WITH THE HORN NOT WORKING I FEEL IT'S A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE ON PREVIOUS YEAR MODELS. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE LIGHTS ON THE EVIC AND CRUISE CONTROL SWITCHES DON'T ILLUMINATE EITHER. BY GOOGLING THE ISSUE IT SEEMS THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER RAM 1500 OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I FEEL THESE ARE ALL MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.

THESE TRUCKS HAVE AN AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM THAT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM. THERE ARE MULTIPLE VERIFIED CASES ON BOTH THE RAM AND REBEL FORUMS. THIS AIR SUSPENSION FAILS AND YOU HAVE NO SUSPENSION. THE TRUCK BECOMES A "HANDFUL" TO DRIVE. AFTER THE FIRST MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE DASH SCREEN WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY RESET THE ERROR CODE AND SENT US ON OUR WAY. JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER THE MESSAGE REAPPEARED. THIS TIME I REGISTERED A COMPLAINT WITH FCA AND THEY ASSIGNED A CASE MANAGER. THE TRUCK WENT BACK IN TODAY AND THE DEALER TELLS ME THAT THEY AIR COMPRESSOR IS DEFECTIVE. THEY DON'T HAVE ONE AS THEY ARE ON "BACKORDER" AND DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL HAVE ONE, BUT THAT WE COULD TAKE THE TRUCK. I REFUSE TO LET MY WIFE DRIVE THIS TRUCK FOR FEAR OF WHAT COULD HAPPEN WHEN IT FAILS. THIS TRUCK HAS 16,568 MILES ON IT AND IT WILL BE THREE YEARS OLD MAY 16, 2019. THE CASE # FROM FCA IS 58422515. I REALLY FEEL THAT THIS SERIOUS ISSUE NEEDS YOUR FULL INVESTIGATION.

SOMETIME WHEN SWITCH TRANSMISSION CONTROL TO REVERSE AND DRIVE AND PARK IT SEEMS TO GO INTO NEUTRAL AND WILL ROLL BACK OR FORWARD I HAVE TO TURN THE KNOB BACK AND FORTH A FEW TIME THEN SEEMS TO GO INTO PLACE NOT SURE IF THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THAT RECALL FOR ROLLAWAY OR NOT NHTSA17V821000. I'VE BEEN SETTING MY ENRAGE EVER TIME I PARK DUE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT. AND I AM STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAPPENS.USUALLY PARKING OR WHEN I TRY TO LEAVE FROM BEING PARKED OR ALSO WHEN TRYING TO TO FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE. OTHER THAN THAT TRUCK SEEMS TO RUN AND DRIVE PROPERLY.

WHEN I AM APPROACHING A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, I APPLY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES. AS THE VEHICLE IS COMING TO A STOP, IT SOMETIMES LUNGES FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY AS IF I HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO TWO SEPARATE DEALERSHIPS FOR THIS HAZARDOUS CONDITION. BOTH TIMES THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM EXISTS. BOTH TIMES THEY UPDATED THE COMPUTER AND CLAIMED IT WAS FIXED. BOTH TIMES THEY WERE WRONG. THE VEHICLE STILL LUNGES FORWARD OCCASIONALLY WHEN COMING TO A STOP. I SPOKE TO THE COMPANY'S CUSTOMER CARE REPRESENTATIVE. THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM CHECK IT A THIRD TIME. I HAVE NO FAITH IN THE DEALERSHIP AFTER TWICE TAKING IT IN WITH NO RESOLUTION. IT ALSO COSTS ME TIME AND MONEY TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP JUST TO HAVE THEM TELL ME THE PROBLEM IS FIXED WHEN IT IS NOT. MY WARRANTY WILL EXPIRE SOON, AND I BELIEVE THEY ARE JUST TRYING TO RUN OUT THE CLOCK. IN ADDITION TO THE DANGER THAT THIS PLACES MY FAMILY IN, IT WILL ALSO CAUSE EXPENSIVE PARTS TO NEED REPLACEMENT PREMATURELY. I JUST WANT A SAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE THAT IS MADE BY A COMPANY THAT WILL HONOR ITS WARRANTY.

TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE. CHRYSLER IN PROCESS OF REPLACING ENGINE THAT WAS REPAIRED AT 1OI MILES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. TRANSMISSION HAS STUCK IN EITHER 3RD OR 5TH GEAR AND WOULD NOT DOWNSHIFT OR UPSHIFT - SECOND TIME THE TRANSMISSION HAS DONE THIS. HAVE A VIDEO PROVING SHIFTING FAULTS. IN BOTH INSTANCES, THE VEHICLE WAS EITHER IDLING OR IN MOTION FOR THE ENGINE FAILURES AND WAS IN MOTION IN BOTH INSTANCES WHEN WITH THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. SEVERAL DEALER RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE ON THE VEHICLE THAT DID NOT INVOLVE EITHER OF THE ABOVE. WINDOW CLIPS HAVE BEEN REPLACED FOR DRIVER SIDE FRONT WINDOW SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE THEY EITHER BREAK OR COME OFF AND HAVE TO BE REPAIRED WITH NEW CLIPS EACH TIME. IF THEY ARE NOT REPLACED, THERE IS A RISK THAT THE WINDOW WILL CRASH INSIDE THE DOOR IF ATTEMPT IS MADE TO ROLL DOWN OR ROLL UP THE POWER WINDOW. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN THE DEALERSHIP SHOP FOR ENGINE REPLACEMENT; DOCUMENTATION IS NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR THIS INSTANCE BUT CAN BE PROVIDED WHEN IT BECOMES AVAILABLE.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTING KNOB PERIODICALLY WILL NOT ALLOW VEHICLE TO OBTAIN A GEAR AND MOVING THE VEHICLE IS IMPOSSIBLE UNTIL MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO ENGAGE A FORWARD OR REVERSE GEAR IS SUCCESSFUL. THIS HAS OCCURRED A NUMBER OF TIME AND THE LAST TIME I WAS MAKING A U TURN ON A NARROW DIRT ROAD WHEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD I COULD NOT OBTAIN ANY GEAR. ANOTHER VEHICLE APPROACHED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND FORTUNATELY WAS ABLE TO STOP BEFORE A COLLISION OCCURRED. NOTE. THIS PROBLEM DID NOT OCCUR UNTIL A RECALL 'AUTO PARK FUNCTIONALITY'WAS COMPLETED ON 11/29/18

MY SON HAD A 2016 RAM 1500 AND WAS IN A HEAD ON COLLISION DRIVING APPROX 40 MPH. THANKFULLY HE WAS OKAY. I SAW THE REPORT THIS EVENING ABOUT NEW AIR BAG RECALLS AND WANT YOU TO KNOW HIS AIRBAGS DID NOT INFLATE WHEN HE CRASHED. NEEDLESS TO SAY WE WERE SHOCKED. I QUESTIONED STATE FARM, THE PALM BEACH COUNTY SHERIFFS OFFICE AND THE STATE FARM BODY SHOP. MY QUESTION TO ALL OF THEM WAS WHO WOULD BRING THIS ISSUE TO THE PROPER GOV'T AUTHORITIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED SO I NO LONGER HAVE THE VIN. I AM SURE WE CAN GET THE VIN FROM STATE FARM. THE ACCIDENT WAS ONLY A FEW MONTHS AGO, SO I AM SURE YOU CAN STILL GET YOUR HANDS ON THE VEHICLE. THE DATE BELOW IS AN ESTIMATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH DOWN A HILL, ALL THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS BEGAN TO BLINK AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. ALL POWER WAS LOST AND THE CONTACT HAD TO STAND ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE HILL. THE CONTACT WAS FINALLY ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL. THE CONTACT PARKED THE VEHICLE FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE DRIVING HOME. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,800.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. AFTER THE CONTACT PARKED AND EXITED THE VEHICLE, IT STARTED TO ROLL FORWARD. THE VEHICLE STRUCK THE CONTACT AND CRASHED INTO THE SIDE OF A BUILDING. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. CAROLINA CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (891 US-1, LUGOFF, SC 29078, (803) 438-9160) WAS CALLED AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE CONTACT SCHEDULED A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT FOR NEXT WEEK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

WHILE DRIVING TRUCK THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE. BROUGHT IT TO SHOP AND THEY SAID THE LIFTER SLIPPED OUT OF PLASTIC TRAY IT WAS IN AND MESSED OF THE CAMSHAFT. WHO USES PLASTIC IN A HEMI ENGINE THAT GETS SO HOT. IT WAS SCARY CUZ THE TRUCK WAS MISSING AND I WAS AFRAID IT WOULD STOP WHILE I WAS ON FREEWAY IN HOUSTON TEXAS. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE. THE 2013-2015 WERE RECALLED FOR THIS AND APPARENTLY IT ISN'T ANY BETTER WITH THE 2016. PLEASE CHECK INTO IT.

ENGINE SEIZED UP.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING IS NOT FUNCTIONING, DIFFICULT TO STEER VEHICLE NEARLY RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN FROM AIR FORCE BASE TO HOTEL.

LIFTER STARTED KNOCKING ON HIGHWAY GOING 70 MPH. THERE ARE 3 TRUCKS IN THE SHOP AT THE SESAME TIME WITH SAME PROBLEM. 2013-2015 THEY RECALLED THE TRUCKS. AND NOW IT'S WITH THE 2016 AND NEWER. WHEN GOING AT LOW SPEED IT RIDES SMOOTH

THE TRUCK HAS BECOME VERY HARD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL.

I HAVE A 2016 RAM 1500, CREW CAB, 4X4 WITH 20K MILES. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW AND HAVE IT SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM. FOR ABOUT THE PAST 4 WEEKS, I HAVE NOTICED A HARD DOWNSHIFT WHEN APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN IN MY 2016 RAM 1500. I HAVE BROUGHT IT IN TO MY PURCHASING CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THIS IS WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD. 'FCA ENGINEERING IS AWARE OF A 2ND-1ST DOWNSHIFT BUMP CONCERN AND IS GATHERING INFORMATION ON THE SHIFTING CONCERN. FOR NOW, THEY HAVE DEEMED THIS SHIFT AS AN OPERATING CHARACTERISTIC.' TO HAVE A VEHICLE 3 YEARS OLD AND 20K MILES, AND SAYING I HAVE TO ACCEPT THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE IS UNACCEPTABLE. IF THIS IS HOW IT IS GOING TO BE, FCA WILL NOT BE GETTING ANY MORE OF MY BUSINESS.

THE EVIC (ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER) SWITCHES DO NOT WORK SO I CANNOT SEE SAFETY RELATED ISSUES DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. LIGHTS ON CRUISE SWITCH AND ELECTRONIC GEAR SHIFT DO NOT ILLUMINATE NOR DOES THE EVIC CONTROL BUTTONS LOCATED ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE OF STEERING WHEEL . I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT AND WHILE TRYING TO SET THE CRUISE CONTROL, BECAUSE THE LIGHTS WON'T ILLUMINATE I HIT THE GEAR DOWN BUTTON AND DOWNSHIFTED TO 1ST ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE DOING ABOUT 55MPH ALMOST CAUSING A ACCIDENT. FROM RESEARCH I'VE DONE ONLINE I BELIEVE IT MAY HAVE A BAD CLOCKSPRING AS OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE ON THE SAME AND SIMILAR YEAR MODELS

TRUCK HAS 25,200 MILES ON IT AND HAS FUEL SENSOR FAILURE ALARM. AFTER READING SOME INFORMATION WITH OTHER OWNERS, THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR RAM PICKUP. EVIDENTLY THIS HAPPENS ANYWHERE FROM 5,000 MILES AND UP. IT IS A $1000 REPAIR WHEN NOT UNDER WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM COVERED AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRES. SOME PEOPLE HAD THE REPAIR 2 OR MORE TIMES. I WAS DRIVING UP THE ROAD WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE SAID EMPTY AND IT'S FULL

FUEL LEVEL SENSOR INOPERABLE. CAN NOT GAUGE PROPER LEVELS OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE.

THE HORN AND THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS DO NOT WORK. THE HORN WILL WORK WHEN LOCKING MY VEHICLE WITH THE KEY FOB BUT NOT BY PRESSING THE HORN. THE CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL DO NOT WORK AT ALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE MANUFACTURER INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V167000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS REFERRED TO AUTONATION CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM NORTH FORT WORTH (11200 N FWY SERVICE RD E, FORT WORTH, TX 76177, (817) 642-7894). AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC INDICATED THAT DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS REQUIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

SEE ENCLOSED PAPERWORK REPORT FOR DETAILS OF ACCIDENT. *DT RECALL WAS FIXED AT CROWN DODGE.*JB

EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS HAVE SHEARED AND SNAPPED. WITH LESS THAN 50K MILES ON THE TRUCK THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS HAVE SHEARED. THIS RESULTS IN A LEAK OF EXHAUST GASES INTO THE CABIN OF THE TRUCK. MAKING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE AND AT RISK OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. THE RAM DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM 3/6/2019

VEHICLE WAS RUNNING. SERIOUS OIL LEAK FORMED BETWEEN THE TOP OF THE ENGINE BLOCK AND THE OIL FILTER ADAPTER (THIS PART ALSO HOUSES TWO SENSORS AND AN OIL COOLER). THIS LEAK IS SO SEVERE OIL POOLS ON TOP OF THE BLOCK AND RUNS DOWN THE BACK OF THE ENGINE DIRECTLY ONTO TRANSMISSION BELL HOUSING AND EXHAUST PIPING. HOT PIPING CAUSES OIL TO BURN AND CREATES RISK OF FIRE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH 2014 AND NEWER CHRYSLER VEHICLES THAT ARE EQUIPPED WITH THE 3.6 LITER 'PENTASTAR' V6. CHRYSLER HAS SO FAR REFUSED TO RECALL THE PARTS, DESIGN A SUITABLE REPLACEMENT PART, OR FIX THE ISSUE OUTSIDE OF THE BASIC POWER TRAIN WARRANTY.

DURING COLD WEATHER (BELOW 0) THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION DOES NOT WORK. IT FREEZES UP AND CREATES A DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITION ON ROUGH OR UNEVEN ROADS. THE VEHICLE BOUNCES AND LOOSES TRACTION TO THE ROAD AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT TO OCCUR.

HELLO, I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND ASKED THEM ABOUT MY FUEL SENSOR, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON. SOMETIMES WHEN I FILL UP MY TANK IT GOES AWAY. THAT BEING SAID. I HAVE SEARCHED THE I GERBER TO FIND OUT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH OUR RAM TRUCKS. DESLERSHIP WILL NOT COVER NOW THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. IT IS GOING TO CHARGE US NEARLY 1000 DOLLARS TO FIX IT. SIMPLE FIX. MY TRUCK HAS ONLY 60,0000 MILES BRAND NEW. SOMETIMES IT GOES AWAY WHEN I AM DRIVING AND THAN IT REAPPEARS. PLEASE MAKE THIS A RECALL THAT WAY WE CAN GET IT FIX. IF NOT I AM GOING TO HAVE TO FIX IT MYSELF. THANK YOU.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED ESPECIALLY WHILE MAKING LEFT TURNS. WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED, THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS COLD STARTED, THE POWER STEERING WOULD NOT WORK AT ALL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ATLANTA WEST CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (1251 THORNTON RD, LITHIA SPRINGS, GA 30122, (770) 942-1102) FOR PAST UNKNOWN RECALL REPAIRS REGARDING THE COMPUTER SYSTEM REPROGRAMMING. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THE POWER STEERING ASSIST SHORTED OUT DUE TO THE PREVIOUS RECALL REPAIRS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURES OCCURRED AFTER THE RECALL REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,500.

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK RAM WITH THE AWESOME TROUBLESHOOTING SKILLS YOU HAVE PROVIDED ME WITH MY PARKING SENSORS IN MY 2016 RAM. AFTER 6 TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED ALMOST ALL THE SENSORS AND THE CONTROL MODULE. YOUR ANSWER IS TO TURN OFF YOUR SENSORS WHEN IT'S NOT SUNNY AND DRY OUT BECAUSE RAIN!!!! CAN AFFECT AN OUTDOOR SENSOR. SO ANYTIME IT RAINS I NEED TO TURN MY SENSORS OFF AND TURN THEM BACK ON WHEN ITS DRY. NOW EXPLAIN TO ME WHY I WOULD WANT TO BUY A FIAT/CHRYSLER PRODUCT.

AIR SUSPENSION HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY DURING WINTER MONTHS. HAD COMPRESSOR REPLACED IN 2-2018. IN THE LAST YEAR I HAVE EXPERIENCED A MINIMUM OF 12 INSTANCES WHERE THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ADJUST RIDE HEIGHT WHICH I HAVE PHOTOS OF. WHEN I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE NO ONE TOLD ME IT WOULD NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY DURING THE COLD MONTHS. MOST RECENTLY I WAS IN TO HAVE THE AUTO PARK RECALL TAKEN CARE OF. SINCE THIS UPDATE MY TRUCK IS TOTAL CRAP. I HAVE LOST 3MPG IN FUEL MILEAGE, THE TRUCKSS SHIFT PATTERN AND RUNNING RPM'S HAVE CHANGED AND IT DRIVES LIKE I'M TOWING SOMETHING. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE DEALER I WAS TOLD TO GET AND AFTER MARKET PROGRAMMER TO SOLVE THE ISSUE. REALLY! SO WHEN I GO IN THE NEXT TIME THEY CAN VOID MY WARRANTY. MY TRUCK RAN LIKE A BEAST BEFORE THE UPDATE AND AVERAGED 18.5 MPG, TODAY I AM AVERAGING 14.7 ON THE SAME EXACT TRIP. SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG WITH THIS PROGRAM.

THE COMPRESSOR THAT OPERATES THE AIR SUSPENSION IS BAD. UPON A LITTLE RESEARCH THIS SEEMS TO BE PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF RAM TRUCKS. ESPECIALLY IN COLD WEATHER CLIMATES. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WASN'T DRIVING IT.

TRUCK ROLLED AWAY WHILE IN DRIVEWAY WHILE IN PARK WITH E-BRAKE ON.

PICKUP'S AIR SUSPENSION FAILS TO WORK IN EXTREME COLD. IN JANUARY OF 2018 IT WAS BROUGHT IN TO DEALER AS COMPRESSOR HAD GONE OUT. IT WAS REPLACED BUT WAS DELAYED DUE TO BACK ORDER OF THE PART SO DIDN'T GET PICKUP BACK UNTIL MARCH. 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. ONCE TEMPERATURES WARMED UP TO OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE 0 DEGREES, THE AIR SUSPENSION WOULD WORK. ON FEB 8TH, PICKUP WAS BROUGHT TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AT DEALERSHIP. AFTER LEAVING DEALERSHIP STOPPED AT A STORE. WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE AIR SUSPENSION APPEARED TO BE ACTING AS IT DID WHEN WEATHER WAS EXTREMELY COLD, TO WHICH I BELIEVED IT WOULD PUMP BACK UP HOWEVER, INSTEAD WARNING CAME ON SCREEN INDICATING "IMMEDIATE AIR SUSPENSION SERVICE / REPAIR NEEDED". I DROVE IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY INDICATED THIS WAS LIKELY DUE TO COLD AND WAS COMMON WITH OTHERS OF THIS MODEL. SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AND WAS TOLD TO DRIVE CAREFULLY HOME. SINCE THEN TOOK TO ANOTHER REPAIR SHOP AND THEY FOUND AN AIR BAG IS TORN. THEY CAN'T DETERMINE WITHOUT FIXING IT IF THAT WAS THE PROBLEM, OR WAS CAUSED BY THE PROBLEM (DID THE AIR BAG TEAR BECAUSE SUSPENSION WENT OUT OR DID THE AIR BAG GO OUT CAUSING THE SUSPENSION TO FAIL). COST WAS AROUND $600 TO REPLACE THE AIR BAG. HAVE DONE CHECKING AND APPEARS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. THE SAFETY ISSUE WOULD BE HAVING PEOPLE DRIVING VEHICLES WITHOUT SUSPENSION IN COLD WEATHER.

OUR TRUCK WAS IN PARK WITH THE BRAKE ON ON OUR DRIVEWAY WHICH IS A HILL AND IT ROLLED BACKWARDS T2 DIFFERENT TIMES WITHOUT ANYBODY IN IT.

THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM HAPPENED EARLIER IN JANUARY OF 2019. I OPENED MY VEHICLE AND UPON STARTING IT, I BEGAN TO PUT MY SEAT BELT ON I NOTICED THE TENSION ON THE BELT WAS NON EXISTENT. IN FACT I HAD TO "HELP" THE BELT BACK DOWN INTO THE PULLEY. IT HAS NOT WORKED SINCE. SHORTLY AFTERWARDS MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON ON MY DASH. I HAVE RECEIVED MULTIPLE FACTORY RECALL POSTCARDS IN THE MAIL AT MY NEW HOUSE LISTING MY VIN/VEHICLE AS WELL AS ISSUES WITH THE SEAT BELT AND AIR BAG SYSTEM. UPON RECEIVING THESE POSTCARDS, I FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS AS IT STATED ON THE CARD AND CALLED TWO LOCAL RAM SERVICE CENTERS: BRUNSWICK AUTO MART 3031 CENTER RD, BRUNSWICK, OH 44212 (330) 460-0721 (AUTHORIZED RAM SERVICE CENTER) AND SPITZER CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM CLEVELAND 13001 BROOKPARK RD, BROOK PARK, OH 44142 (216) 267-2100. THE BRUNSWICK SERVICE CENTER REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE RECALLS AS THEY PERTAIN TO MY VEHICLE AND TOLD ME THAT I WOULD BE CHARGED. THE BROOK PARK SERVICE CENTER TOLD ME THAT MY VIN WAS NOT COMING UP IN THEIR SYSTEM. I STILL RECEIVE THE VEHICLE RECALL POSTCARDS FROM FIAT-CHRYSLER-DODGE-RAM HOWEVER MY LOCAL SERVICE CENTERS REFUSE TO FIX THE ISSUES BECAUSE I DIDNT PURCHASE FROM THEM. I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE OUT OF STATE. I HAVE ALSO HAS PROBLEMS WITH MY TURN SIGNAL LAMP CONSISTENTLY GOING OUT. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 15,000 MILES ON IT. IT NOW HAS A LITTLE OVER 30,000 MILES.

I OWN A 2016 RAM REBEL 1500 WITH THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION. AS YOU ARE PROBABLY AWARE, THERE ARE CONSTANT ISSUES WITH THIS SYSTEM. I START MY VEHICLE THIS MORNING AND UPON ENTERING VEHICLE, A MESSAGE POPPED UP STATING,' IMMEDIATE AIR SUSPENSION SERVICE/REPAIR REQUIRED.' THE FRONT END WAS IN 'ENTRY/EXIT' MODE AND THE REAR WAS IN 'NORMAL' MODE. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, I FOUND A BLOWN 40 AMP GREEN FUSE THAT IS FOR THE AIR SUSPENSION. I REPLACED THE FUSE MYSELF DUE TO CONVENIENCE ISSUES AND NOTED IN MY CAR FAX OF REPAIR. THIS AND MANY OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS SYSTEM HAVE ERUPTED AND IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

WHEN STARTING MY VEHICLE I NOTICED A TICKING SOUND. AFTER IDLING A COUPLE MINUTES THE TICKING WOULD GET QUIETER. RECENTLY I CAN STILL HEAR THE TICKING WHILE DRIVING. I'VE HEARD IT COULD BE THE MANIFOLD BOLTS GETTING SHEERED OFF OR IT CAN BE THE PURGE SOLENOID. TO ME IT SOUNDS LIKE A LIFTER TICKING.

2016 RAM 1500 WITH FACTORY AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM FAILS WHEN TEMPERATURES FALL BELOW FREEZING. IT FAIL WHILE IN MOTION OR WHILE STATIONARY. THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM DROPS TO THE BUMP STOPS AND WILL NOT PROPERLY INFLATE TO A SAFE RIDE HEIGHT. ONCE THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE WARMS TO ABOVE FREEZING, THE AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM RETURNS TO NORMAL OPERATION.

VEHICLE COMPLETELY DIED IN THE INTERSECTION RIGHT AFTER TAKING OFF FROM THE STOPLIGHT. COULD NOT REMOVE KEY AND IT WILL NOT SHIFT INTO PARK. *BF*JB *DT*JB *DT THE CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, A LOOSE BATTERY TERMINAL WAS THE PROBLEM. *TR

AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. TRAVELING ON CITY STREET GOING STRAIGHT AUTO FROM LEFT HIT ME MAKING LEFT HAND TURN. STUCK FRONT LEFT BUMPER I WAS GOING ABOUT 32 MPH. NO AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT.

WHEN ROLLING DOWN SIDE WINDOWS DURING COLD WEATHER, WINDOW COME OFF/OUT OF TRACK. THE WINDOW MAY STAY IN PLACE UNTIL HOURS LATER. AT SOME POINT, IT WILL FALL DOWN UNTIL IT HITS SOMETHING OR WILL FALL INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR. THIS CAN HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING, OR PARKED. THE FIRST TIME, THE WINDOW WENT OFF TRACK WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE WINDOW STAYED UP FOR AN ADDITIONAL 10 MINUTES THEN FELL INTO THE DOOR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE 2-3 OCCURANCES, THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE, BUT STOPPED WHEN IT CAME OFF TRACK. THE WINDOW STAYED IN PLACE UNTIL HOURS LATER WHILE PARKED IN A PUBLIC PLACE. ALL CONTENTS OF THE VEHICLE WERE UNSECURED AND IN PUBLIC DUE TO THE WINDOW DEFECT. OCCURANCE 4 HAPPENED WHILE IN DRIVE BUT STOPPED. WINDOW FELL AFTER EXITING AND CLOSING THE DOOR.

SUSPENSION AIRBAG SYSTEM COLLAPSED UNDER -15 TEMPS. THE TRUCK STARTED AND IT EVENTUALLY CAME BACK UP TO NORMAL RIDE HEIGHT. VEHICLE WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT OUTSIDE

UNRESOLVED ISSUE BY RAM REGARDING THEIR AIR RIDE SUSPENSION WHERE THE KNOWN ISSUE HAS NOT YET BEEN RESOLVED, NOR HAS THE MANUFACTURER MADE AN ATTEMPT RECALL ANY PARTS RELATED. MY TRUCK UNDER WARRANTY IN JANUARY 2018 HAD A CONTROLLER AND AIR PUMP REPLACED DUE TO AIR RIDE DROPPING TO FRAME WHEN TEMPERATURES DROPPED BELOW 20 DEGREES. THE SYSTEM CORRECTED ITSELF AFTER TEMPS WARMED BUT THEN AGAIN THIS JANUARY (NOT UNDER WARRANTY) THE SAME ISSUES. THE DEALERSHIP TALKED TO RAM AND THEY REFUSE TO LOOK INTO ISSUE. THOUSANDS OF RAM OWNERS WITH AIR SUSPENSION ARE HAVING SAME ISSUES. SOME CAN BE VIEWED AT HTTPS://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/GROUPS/551357055052657/ I'M SPEAKING HERE ON BEHALF OF ALL THESE OWNERS AS IT SHOULD BE RAM'S RESPONSIBILITY TO COVER ANY RELATED COSTS TO THIS DEFECT IN THEIR SYSTEM. THE TRUCKS BECOME IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE AND ONE CANNOT KNOW WHEN IT WILL JUST DECIDE TO DEFAULT, THUS MAKING TRAVEL UNCERTAIN AND UNSAFE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM. MOST TIMES THE AIR RIDE SYSTEM GOES FLAT IN SITTING POSITION IN COLD TEMPS BUT IT HAS BEEN KNOW TO GO FLAT WHILE DRIVING. AT WHICH, THE TRUCK MAINTAINS LITERALLY NO CONTROL AS IT BOUNCES ALL OVER AND STEERING BECOME SLOPPY. THIS IS UNSAFE.

28 DEGREES F THIS MORNING. I STARTED TRUCK AND LET IT WARM UP FOR 5 MIN. DISENGAGED THE PARKING BRAKE, PUT IT IN DRIVE. AS I STARTED TO MOVE (3) ERROR MESSAGES CAME UP ON DASH: SERVICE SHIFTER, SERVICE TRANSMISSION, SERVICE THROTTLE CONTROL. I STOPPED TRUCK, TURNED IT OFF AND THEN STARTED IT AGAIN. NO ERROR CODES; ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ON. I DROVE TO WORK 2.5 MILES AWAY. I HAD TO STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND ENGINE JUST TURNED OFF. DASH BOARD WAS FLICKERING. I PUT TRUCK IN PARK, TURNED KEY OFF AND THEN TRIED TO RESTART TRUCK. NOTHING, LIGHTS STILL FLICKERING ON DASH. I TRIED TO PUT ON HAZARD LIGHTS BUT NO POWER TO THEM. I TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO RESTART TRUCK BUT TO NO AVAIL. AT SOME POINT IT WOULDN'T EVEN LET ME TURN THE KEY TO OFF. IT WAS STUCK IN THE "ACCESSORY" POSITION. I DID CATCH AN ERROR MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD THAT SAID "NO BUS". IF I WAS MOVING WHEN TRUCK SHUT DOWN I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT; NO POWER BRAKES OR STEERING. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES SITTING AT TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS STOPPED FLICKERING AND THE TRUCK APPEARED TO RESET ITSELF. AT THIS POINT I WAS ABLE TO START THE TRUCK AND GET TO WORK. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN IN FOUR TIMES FOR "SERVICE SHIFTER" ERROR. ON THREE OF THE VISITS THE DEALER LOADED NEW SOFTWARE INTO THE TRUCK TO ADDRESS THIS AND A FEW RECALLS. THE LAST VISIT (3) WEEKS AGO THE SOFTWARE WAS CHANGED SO IF THE TRUCK IS NOT IN PARK, THE DRIVER'S DOOR IS OPEN, TRUCK IS IN GEAR, AND THE DRIVER'S FOOT IS NOT PRESSING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THE COMPUTER WILL PUT TRUCK IN PARK THEY ALSO REPLACED THE ROTARY SHIFTER SWITCH. SINCE THAT TIME THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION, SERVICE SHIFTER AND SERVICE THROTTLE CONTROL ERROR STARTED AND HAS APPEARED THREE TIMES. 2016 RAM EXPRESS 1500 WAS BOUGHT NEW IN JULY 2017 AND HAS 15,400 MILES ON IT. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THIS VEHICLE AS IT WILL LEAVE ME STRANDED AT SOME POINT.

WHEN DRIVING IN ANY CONDITION, STREET OR FREEWAY LIGHTS FLICKER OR REMAIN OFF FOR 30-60 SECOND INTERVALS. THIS HAPPENS AT NIGHT AND WE HAVE HAD MUTIPLE CLOSE CALLS AND ONCE HIT A GUARD RAIL. WE HAVE CONTACTED OUR DEALERSHIP 2-3 TIMES IN PASO ROBLES CA AND WE ALSO NOTIFIED MORGAN HILL RAM WHEN THEY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR AN EXTENDED TIME PERIOD DUE TO THE ENGINE BLOWING UP UNDER WARRANTY. MY HUSBAND COMMUTES 150 MILES ONE WAY AND THIS IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE. NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE. I HAVE VIDEOS AVAILABLE VIA EMAIL.

WHEN THE ENGINE IS SHUT OFF AND THE KEY REMOVED THE IGNITION PORTION OF THE SWITCH DOES NOT COME OUT AND REMAINS IN THE LOWER POSITION IN THE SWITCH. THE KEY CAN BE USED TO GET THE SWITCH TO THE POSITION TO START THE TRUCK.THIS SITUATION DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL OF THE TIME. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM..

I WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END COLLISION ON 4-23-2018. AT 60MPH, MY AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER (CASE# 33961416). THEY SENT AN INVESTIGATOR TO DOWNLOAD THE INFORMATION FROM THE COMPUTER. THE INVESTIGATOR REPORTED THAT THE AIRBAGS WAS WORKING AT THE TIME OF THE COLLISION AND THAT I WAS NOT TRAVELING FAST ENOUGH FOR IT TO DEPLOY. WHEN THEY REFUSED TO PROVIDE ME WITH A COPY OF THE REPORT, I HIRED MY ON INVESTIGATOR TO DOWNLOAD THE INFORMATION FROM THE COMPUTER. MY INVESTIGATOR FOUND THAT CHRYSLER'S REPORT WAS 100% INCORRECT. HIS REPORT STATES THAT I WAS TRAVELING AROUND 60MPH AND THE AIRBAGS FAILED. HE EVEN PROVIDED PHOTOS OF THE STEERING COLUMN THAT SHOWS THE AIRBAGS TRIED TO DEPLOY BUT FAILED. CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO CONTACT MY INVESTIGATOR AND HAS ADVISED ME TO STOP CALLING ABOUT THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THEY HAVE CLOSED THE CASE. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE OKLAHOMA ATTORNEY GENERALS (CASE # CC-18-1759) WHICH WAS TRANSFERRED TO YOUR OFFICE ON 10-23-2018. JOHN (PHONE #202-366-8833) FROM YOUR OFFICE CALL ME A FEW WEEKS AGO TO GET THE VIN NUMBER FROM THE DODGE THAT I WRECKED. PLEASE FORGIVE ME IF THIS IS NOT THE CORRECT WAY TO PURSUE THIS SITUATION. IF THIS CASE IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION AND I NEED TO BE PATIENT, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WILL DO. PLEASE ADVISED THAT I CAN PROVIDE YOU WITH THE ENTIRE REPORT THAT MY INVESTIGATOR HAS. THANK YOU SEE ALSO 11149428. *DSY *DT *DT*JB *DT *DT*JB *BF CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND HE DOES NOT WANT FCA TO HAVE A COPY OF MY REPORT 'PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *JB

ATTEMPTED TO ROLL DOWN DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW IN MY 2016 RAM 1500 CREW CAB SPORT. THE WINDOW DIDN'T MOVE BUT MADE A SOUND LIKE IT WAS FROZEN. I LEFT THE HEAT ON HIGH WHILE DRIVEN IN AN ATTEMPT TO DEFROST THE WINDOW. % MINUTES LATER THE WINDOW SUDDENLY DROPPED HALF WAY DOWN INTO THE DOOR AND WOULD NOT GO COMPLETELY BACK UP. I ALMOST WRECKED THE TRUCK AS IT SCARED ME AND WAS VERY LOUD. I HAD TO BRING THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE REATTACH THE WINDOW TO THE CHEAP PLASTIC CLIPS THAT IT SEPERATED FROM. UPON FURTHER REVIEW ON GOOGLE, IT'S NOTICED THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. RAM NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ON THIS AND FIX THE CHEAP PLASTIC CLIPS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJUSRED OR CAUSES A FATALITY THROUGH A BAD WRECK.

WHILE EXECUTING A LEFT HAND TURN POWER STEERING CUT OUT COMPLETELY. NO POWER ASSIST AT ALL FOR ABOUT A SEC OR SO. HALF WAYS THROUGH THE TURN THE POWER STEERING RESTORED ITSELF. IT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME WITHIN A FEW MINUTES OF THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WHILE EXECUTING A RIGHT HAND TURN. SAME TIME PERIOD FOR CUT OUT AND RESTORED ITSELF HALF WAYS THROUGH THE TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION DURING BOTH EVENTS IN CITY TRAFFIC AND RESULTED IN MOMENTARY LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 60 M/H ENGINE START SMOKING AND CAUGHT ON FIRE WITHOUT ANY PREVIOUS ALERT OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AFTER I PULLOVER AND LIFT THE HOOD TO INSPECT THE SMOKE.

AFTER PUTTING TRUCK INTO REVERSE THEN PUTTING IN BACK INTO FORWARD GEAR THE TRUCK WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THE FACT IT IS SUPPOSE TO GO FORWARD. NOT IN 2 WHEEL DRIVE OR 4 WHEEL DRIVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US TWICE. I HAVE FOUND OUT YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND THEN RESTART. FIRST TIME I HAD TO DO THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES THIS LAST TIME IT THEN WENT INTO FORWARD DRIVE WITH THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE SETTING. THE FIRST TIME WAS IN A PARKING LOT. THE SECOND TIME I WAS ON A ROAD IN FRONT OF OUR HOME. I HAD STOPPED TO CHECK THE MAIL AND HAD TO BACK UP IN ORDER TO GO INTO OUR DRIVEWAY. AFTER BACKING UP IT WOULD NOT GO FORWARD.

COOLANT BIPASS VALVE STUCK IN ONE POSITION AND COSTS 8 $800 TO FIX. THIS WAS A RECALL ON PREVIOUS YEARS AND CLEARLY HADN'T BEEN FIXED. SHOULD BE UNDER RECALL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GREENWAY DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM ORLANDO (LOCATED AT 9051 E COLONIAL DR, ORLANDO, FL 32817, (407) 347-4929) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT A FAILURE CODE COULD NOT BE FOUND.

BROKEN MANIFOLD STUDS. AND WHEN YOU CALL THE DRALSGIOD THEY ALL SAY THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND THAT CHRYSLER HAS RENGINEERED THE STUDS SO TAT MEAN THEY KNOW ABOUT BUT IT'S HAPPENED TO MANY PEOPLE AND THERE NO DOUBT ANYTHING WITH I.

DRIVER SIDE WINDOW CLIPS KEEP BREAKING WHENEVER TEMPERATURE GOES BELIE FREEZING. 3 TIMES TO DEALER TO REPAIR. DEALER STATES ITS A COMMON DESIGN DEFECT. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS WINDOW FALLS INTO TRACK AND CANT BE OPERATED OR MINE HAS LODGED UP THEN UNEXPECTEDLY DROPPED. IVE BEEN TOLD NOT TO OPEN WINDOW IN COLD WEATHER THATS UNSATISFACTORY. DODGE NEEDS TO RECALL AND CORRECT DESIGN ISSUE AND HAZARD.

BACK IN THE END OF AUGUST/BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER 2016 I TOOK MY 2016 RAM 1500 IN FOR SHIFTING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER 2 WEEKS OF WAITING THEY REPLACED THE VALVE ASSEMBLY PART ON THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER 3 DAYS I NOTICED I COULD NOT GET OUT OF 1ST GEAR. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IN EASLEY SC AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT SO THEY CAN TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM AGAIN. ON 9/17/2016 IT WAS DETERMINED TO HAVE A BAD TRANSMISSION AND I WAS TOLD THAT RAM WAS REPLACING WITH A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION, HOWEVER THERE WAS NOT AN ETA FOR DELIVERY. 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. II ASKED ABOUT A LOANER AND WAS TOLD UNTIL THEY HAVE AN ETA ON THE PART THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE A LOANER. SO I AM NOT FORCED TO DRIVE A TRUCK WITH A BAD TRANSMISSION. ALSO I WANT TO MENTION THAT THE TRUCK IS BEING REPAIRED UNDER THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURE'S WARRANTY. MY EXTENDED MOPAR WARRANTY HAS NOT EVEN KICKED IN YET. SO BASICALLY I HAVE A TRUCK THAT THE COMPANY CAN NOT GET A MAJOR PART UNDER THE WARRANTY. I CAN BARELY GET OUT OF 1ST GEAR AND WHEN IT DOES I SUFFER A VERY HARD JOLT WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT RAM IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS.

I WAS BACKING A PONTOON BOAT WHILE IN 4WD LOW IN SOFT MULCH, I THEN STOPPED AND SWITCHED BACK TO 2WD. ONCE THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTING WAS COMPLETE, THE FUEL SENSOR FAIL MESSAGE APPEARED IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, THE LOW FUEL WARNING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BOTH ILLUMINATED. THE FUEL (GAS) TANK WAS ABOUT 3/4 FULL WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE HAD 60,054 MILES ON IT. SO FAR THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO RUN AS NORMAL BUT THE ILLUMINATED WARNINGS ARE QUITE A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING.

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP(PEP BOYS) FOR CHECKING OF A SLIGHT WOBBLE IN THE DRIVE LINE OR DRIVE SHAFT OF MY VEHICLE. MY 2016 RAM 1500 HAD JUST COME OUT OF THE PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY WHEN THE WOBBLE STARTED AT 60MPH. WHILE SEARCHING SEVERAL WEBSITES, FORUMS, YOUTUBE AND GOOGLE, I CAME UPON MANY OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE THAT RAM EVIDENTLY KNOWS ABOUT. RECENTLY I HAD BEEN TO THE RAM DEALERSHIP FOR ANOTHER RECALL ISSUE FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL. I MENTIONED TO THE TECHNICIAN ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH THE WOBBLE, WHICH BECAME A CONVERSATION WHICH QUICKLY BECAME AVOIDED BY TWO PEOPLE THAT WERE TECHNICIANS. THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME MORE TROUBLESOME NOW THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT AND DRINKS IN THE DRINK ARE A CONSTANT SHAKE! NOW THAT THE WHOLE VEHICLE SHAKES, I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND MAY EFFECT THE BRAKING SYSTEM WITH THIS VIGOROUS SHAKE. WHEN I SPOKE TO SEVERAL PEOPLE REGARDING MY ISSUES AND MANY OTHERS, THIS ISSUE WAS DUE TO A TWO PIECE DRIVE SHAFT WITH A RUBBER BUSHING OF SOME SORT AND THE UNIVERSAL JOINT THAT CONTACTS THE REAR END.

VEHICLE LOSS ELECTRICITY WHILE RUNNING ON HIGWAY OR ROAD, AT THE BEGINNING IT STARTED TURNING EVERYTHING OFF AND TURNING ON ABOUT 2 OR 3 SECONDS LATER. PROBLEM STARTED AT THE BEGINNING OF JUNE 2018. THEN ON AUGUST 18 THE CAR TURNED OFF COMPLETELY AND TRANSMISSION TURNED TO PARK BY ITSELF MAKING A LOUD GRINDING SOUND, CAR DID STARTED AGAIN AND WAS TAKEN FOR SERVICE; IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON SEPTEMBER 3, 2018.

I HAVE A 2016 RAM 1500 SLT QUAD CAB. 5.7 LITER HEMI AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ROTORS DIAL SHIFTER. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN PUT IN PARK VEHICLE WAS STILL IN REVERSE. HAVE MENTIONED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE LAST 2 OIL CHANGES. THEY JUST IGNORED IT. YESTERDAY 9/3/2018 WENT OUT TO MOVE THE TRUCK. PUT IT IN DRIVE, SELECTOR SHOWED DRIVE AND TRUCK WENT IN REVERSE WHEN I GAVE IT GAS. THIS CAUSED ME TO HIT MY SPRINTER VAN DOING DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. NOW I'M LEERY OF DRIVING IT. IT TOOK SEVERAL TRIES TO GET IT TO GO INTO DRIVE. PLEASE HELP. AFTER GOOGLING THIS I SAW THAT THERE IS A RECALL. CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD MY TRUCK IS NOT IN THE RECALL.

NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 18V-486. THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED JULY 26, 2018 BUT FCA STILL HAS NOT ISSUED THE PART FOR THIS RECALL AND IT HAS BEEN A FULL MONTH ALREADY. I USE MY BED TO CARRY GOODS ALL THE TIME AND I AM IN FEAR OF THE TAILGATE OPENING. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. THANK YOU

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. WHILE ADDING FUEL TO THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL PUMP NOZZLE BECAME STUCK IN THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE. THE CONTACT HAD TO REMOVE THE NOZZLE FROM THE FUEL TANK BY TWISTING AND PULLING WITH FORCE EACH TIME THE FUEL TANK WAS FILLED IN ORDER TO RELEASE THE FUEL PUMP NOZZLE. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH VICTORVILLE MOTORS (14617 CIVIC DRIVE, VICTORVILLE, CA 92394, (760) 733-8484), BUT THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO HAVE THE FUEL TANK INSPECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100.

I WAS BACKING DOWN BOAT RAMP AND PUT TRUCK IN PARK I GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK TO SECURE BOAT TO TRAILER AND THE TRUCK ROLLED DOWN BOAT RAMP KNOCKING ME DOWN AND DRAGGING ME INTO THE WATER AND TRUCK COMPLETELY SEMERAGED IN BOTTOM OF LAKE.

WHEN ACCELERATING RAPIDLY (A HEAVY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL) THE VEHICLE OFTEN REMAINS IN ACCELERATION MODE ONCE THE PEDAL IS RELEASED, AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO INCREASE ITS VELOCITY. BRAKING DOES NOT FIX THIS ISSUE. TWICE NOW I'VE HAD TO SWITCH THE TRUCK TO NEUTRAL, AND LET THE COMPUTER FIGURE OUT I DIDN'T WANT THE GAS PEDAL ANYMORE. THIS WAS A RESULT OF MERGING ONTO A FREEWAY, AND PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE.

AT EXTREMELY LOW SPEED THE FRONT COLLISION WARNING SENSOR WILL OCCASIONALLY FALSELY WARN OF AN OBJECT PRESENT. NUMEROUS REPAIRS HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTED BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. DEALER CLAIMS WE ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO HAVE EVER REPORTED THIS PROBLEM. WAITING FOR FCA TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO NEXT. I HAVE VIDEOS OF THE EVENTS BUT CURRENTLY NO STILL PHOTOS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL DOZEN TIMES STARTING IN DEC 2016 AND AS RECENTLY AS AUG 6, 2018.

THE TRUNK DOOR LATELY, IS OPENING CONSTANTLY EITHER WHEN DRIVING OR IN A STOP

DROPPING BOAT IN WATER ON SLIGHT GRADE RAMP. PUT CAR IN PARK AND SHUT DOWN. AS I DROPPED BOAT FROM THE TRAILER THE TRUCK ROLLED DOWN THE RAMP IMMERSING 3/4 OF THE BODY IN THE SALT WATER. NO ONE WAS BEHIND THE WHEEL. THIS PRODUCT HAS HAD ISSUES WITH ROLLAWAYS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TAILGATE WOULD INDEPENDENTLY OPEN. DON DAVIS DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP (1901 N COLLINS ST, ARLINGTON, TX) WAS CONTACTED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BECAUSE THE CONTACT REFUSED TO PAY THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 46,000.

MY WIFE, DOG AND I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT OF A COUNTERTOP SUPPLY STORE. IT WAS APPROXIMATELY 80 DEGREASE OUTSIDE SO I ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOWS TO HALF AND LEFT THE TRUCK RUNNING IN PARK TO KEEP THE A/C ON FOR THE DOG. IN THIS PARKING LOT WE WERE THE ONLY VEHICLE PARKED NEAR BY AND THERE WAS NO PARKING BLOCK IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK. WE WERE IN THE STORE APPROXIMATELY 20 MIN LOOKING FOR A COUNTERTOP THEN WENT TO SIT DOWN WITH THE SALES SPECIALIST. ABOUT 5 MIN INTO THAT CONVERSATION THE SECRETARY IN THE FRONT YELLED "YOUR TRUCK IS DRIVING OFF". I IMMEDIATELY RAN OUT THE DOOR TO FIND MY TRUCK ABOUT 25 YARDS AWAY AND ACROSS THE MAIN ROAD. THE ROAD DID NOT HAVE CURBS BUT DID HAVE STEEP CULVERTS ON BOTH SIDES (NOTE: I WOULD NOT THINK A TRUCK AT IDLE WOULD MAKE IT UP TO THE ROAD) THE TRUCK "TOOK OFF" PER 3 WORKERS THAT WERE NEAR BY IN THE LOT MOVING A LARGE SLAB OF GRANITE, AND A SIMI DRIVER WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD STATING THAT BOTH MY RAM AND HIS TRACTOR HIT TIRES AND THAT'S WHAT GOT MY TRUCK TO STOP. EVERYONE THAT WITNESSED THIS STATED THE DOG WAS IN THE BACK SEAT AND NO ONE GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE. AS I APPROACHED THE TRUCK IT SOUNDED TO BE RUNNING AT IDLE AND WHEN I GRABBED THE DOOR HANDLE THE LOCKS UNLOCKED AS NORMAL. I FOUND THE TRUCK IN DRIVE AND RPM AT NORMAL IDLE RANGE. THE TRUCK ALLOWED ME TO PUT IT BACK IN PARK. I THEN RESTARTED THE TRUCK, MOVED IT BACK TO THE PARKING LOT. THE BUSINESS HAS SECURITY CAMERA FOOTAGE OF THIS SHOWING HOW MY TRUCK UN TAMPERED WITH WENT FROM IDLE AND PARK FOR 25ISH MIN TO DRIVING ACROSS THE ROAD AND I AM CURRENTLY PERUSING A COPY OF THE TAPE. DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND I WAS TOLD TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT LATE NEXT WEEK (EARLIEST AVAILABLE) FOR AN INSPECTION, AND UNTIL THEN TO SET THE PARKING BRAKE EVERY TIME. TRUCK APPEARS TO BE DRIVING AS NORMAL. THE STORE WAS AROUND 15 MILES AWAY, TRUCK WAS PARKED ALL NIGHT LEADING UP TO EVENT.

JULY 2ND I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY, OPENED MY GARAGE DOOR,PLACED VEHICLE IN PARK AND EXITED VEHICLE TO GO IN THE HOUSE. MY FIANCE STAYED IN VEHICLE, I TURNED AND YELLED TO HER TO COME IN HOUSE AS I WAS GOING TO LET DOGS OUT BEFORE WE LEFT AGAIN.I PROCEEDED IN HOUSE AND SHE EXITED VEHICLE TO COME IN.SHE WALKED THROUGH THE GARAGE AND I HEARD HER SCREAMING FRANTICALLY, I RAN OUT TO THE GARAGE AND THE TRUCK FOLLOWED HER INTO THE GARAGE AND SHE WAS BETWEEN MY WORKBENCH AND THE TRUCK.I PULLED HER OUT OF THE WAY AND THE TRUCK CONTINUED PUSHING MY BASEMENT WALL IN ABOUT 7 INCHES. I RAN AROUND THE TRUCK AND APPLIED THE BRAKES,IT WAS IN PARK.WE CONTACTED FIAT CHRYSLER, THEY SENT ME A PAPER TO SIGN ALLOWING THEM TO GET INFORMATION FROM THE ORC IN THE VEHICLE, WHICH I ALLOWED.ON FRIDAY JULY 20TH WE MET WITH AN INSPECTOR AND HE HOOKED UP COMPUTERS TO THE TRUCK TO GET THE INFORMATION STATING HE SENDS REPORT TO FCA AND THEY WOULD NOTIFY US.WE GOT A LETTER YESTERDAY JULY 27TH BASICALLY STATING PER OUR OWNERS MANUAL WE SHOULD ALWAYS USE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND DECLINED ANY RESPONSIBILITY. NEVER STATED OR SHARED WHAT THE OCR RESULTS SHOWED.THIS COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE AND THE ROTARY SHIFTER IS A PROBLEM.A FEW DAYS AFTER THE INCIDENT WHILE DRIVING ON A BEAUTIFUL SUNNY DAY THE WIPERS START UP FULL BOAR LIKE IT WAS POURING OUT.THEY WERE IN THE OFF POSITION. SOMETHING IS WRONG AND THEY ARE TAKING NO RESPONSIBILITY. WE HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER AND THERE IS PROBABLY $3500 TO 5000 DAMAGE JUST TO VEHICLE. GRILL IS BROKE, HEADLIGHT HOUSING FENDER AND BUMPER DAMAGE. REPAIRS TO BASEMENT WALL AND MY FIANCE WAS BLACK AND BLUE AND SORE ,HIP AREA AND ANKLE. *DSY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS OVERREACTING FROM ANY BUMPS IN THE ROAD, MAKING DRIVING DIFFICULT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (BETTENHAUSEN AUTOMOTIVE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 8355 W 159TH ST, TINLEY PARK, IL 60477, (708) 532-2665) WHERE UNKNOWN REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THE LOWER SHAFT OF THE STEERING COLUMN. THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS RETRIEVED FROM THE DEALER, ALONG WITH A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED. THE CONTACT RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY PERFORMED LOCK TIGHTENING ON THE STEERING SYSTEM AND THAT A NEW STEERING GEAR WAS NEEDED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE PARTS WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL JANUARY OR FEBRUARY OF 2019. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION IN WHICH I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE RAIN AND HIT THE CONCRETE MEDIAN TWICE. THE BUMPER WAS PUSHED BACK TO THE TIRE AND THE AIRBAG SWITCH WAS TRIPPED BUT DIDN'T DEPLOY. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ACCIDENT I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM THE VEHICLE VHR DIAGNOSTICS SYSTEM STATING THAT THE VEHICLE RECENTLY NOTICED A AIRBAG ALARM LIGHT AND ISSUED ME A RECALL AFTER THE FACT.

OUR TRUCK IS TWO YEARS OLD. WE HAVE 77,000 MILES ON IT AND THE FUEL SENSOR/PUMP WENT BAD. IT'S NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY; HOWEVER, A FUEL PUMP SHOULD LAST MORE THAN 2 YEARS AND 77,000 MILES. WE FILL UP WITH FUEL. EVERYTHING IS FINE UNTIL THE NEEDLES HITS THE FIRST LINE. WE GET A FUEL SENSOR WARNING AND THE GUAGE DROPS TO EMPTY. THE TRUCK RUNS FINE. NO HESITATION OF STALLING. WOULDN'T KNOW ANYTHING WAS WRONG EXCEPT FOR THE WARNING LIGHTS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, TOO. ACCORDING TO DODGE, THE TWO ARE RELATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT AND ENGAGE INTO THE REVERSE POSITION WITHOUT JOLTING AND SHAKING. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO THIRD GEAR, IT FAILED TO IMMEDIATELY ENGAGE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE CONTACT HAD TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE IMMEDIATELY OR THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. FURTHERMORE, WHILE A BOAT WAS HITCHED TO THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT INADVERTENTLY ROLLED AWAY. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS FORCEFULLY DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ROLL UNTIL IT REACHED THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL. AN UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATOR WOULD ILLUMINATE ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTING FROM THIRD GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NAPLETON'S NORTHLAKE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (3701 NORTHLAKE BLVD, LAKE PARK, FL 33403, (888) 682-8985) FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT A FAILURE COULD NOT BE FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

TAILGATE RANDOMLY OPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE HITS 15 MPH AND ACTIVATES THE DOOR LOCKS ALONG WITH THE TAILGATE LOCK. CONTENTS SPILL OUT OF THE BED AND INTO TRAFFIC. I CANT FIND A SAFETY BULLETIN BUT THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. THIS HAS HAPPENED 15 TIMES ON MY VEHICLE IN THE LAST MONTH. THE VEHICLE IS APPROX 18 MONTHS OLD AND HAS LESS THAN 30K MILES ON IT. EXAMPLE OF THE ISSUE. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=UHA6WUVQTHG

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (DCH CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT OF TEMECULA, 26845 YNEZ RD, TEMECULA, CA 92591) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL FILTER CLAMP FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,495.

BOJANGLES PARKING LOT, PUT TRUCK IN PARK. GOT OUT, LOOKED TO MAKE SURE I WAS NOT BLOCKING ANYBODY BEHIND ME AND WALKED INTO THE STORE BECAUSE MY ORDER WAS WRONG. STOOD IN LINE FOR ROUGHLY A MINUTE OR 2 AND HEARD A CRASH, TURNED AROUND AND MY TRUCK HAD HIT A FORD EXPLORER ON THE DRIVER REAR SIDE OF THE BUMPER. NO INJURIES, EVERYONE WAS OKAY. BUMPER SCRATCHED UP, GAVE THEM MY INFORMATION. I'M CURIOUS TO HOW MY TRUCK JUMPED OUT OF PARK INTO N OR D. IF IT WAS IN N, MY TRUCK WOULD HAVE MOVED WHEN I WAS GETTING OUT OF THE TRUCK, AND WOULD HAVE TAKEN A MUCH SHORTER AMOUNT OF TIME TO HIT THE OTHER VEHICLE. THE OTHER PEOPLE SAID THEY SAW ME WALK INTO THE RESTAURANT AND MY TRUCK WASN'T MOVING.

MY CRUISE CONTROL WAS ENGAGED AS I WAS GOING DOWN A MOUNTAIN APPROACHING A SHARP TURN WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES THE PETAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE TRUCK ACCELERATED. I WENT INTO THE WOODS WHERE I HIT NUMEROUS TREES AND TOTALED THE VEHICLE. WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS

ACCORDING TO DIAGNOSTICS DONE ON THE TRUCK, THE CONTROL MODULE FOR THE POWER STEERING HAS SHORTED OUT. THIS IS THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL OF TRUCKS SUBJECTED TO THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. UNFORTUNATELY WHEN SEARCHING BY MY VIN, MY TRUCK DOESN'T SEEM TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH THIS IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM.

WHILE THE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION TRAVELING ABOUT 70MPH DOWN THE INTERSTATE, MY PASSENGER WINDOW FELL HALFWAY INTO THE DOOR. THIS CAUSED ME TO SWERVE AND ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT WAS 20 DEGREES OUTSIDE AROUND 430 AM AND THE TRUCK AND BEEN WARMED UP SUFFICIENTLY AND THE HEATER WAS ON. HOWEVER I WAS STILL TOLD IT HAPPENED BECAUSE IT WAS COLD OUTSIDE AND THE "CLIPS" THAT HOLD THE WINDOW HAD BROKEN. I DID NOT ATTEMPT TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW. IT CONSTANTLY KEPT FALLING DOWN BY ITSELF AND I HAD TO HOLD THE POWER BUTTON UP TO KEEP IT FROM DOING SO, WHILE DRIVING IN THE MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. ONCE I GOT TO WORK AND PARKED MY TRUCK IN A UNSECURED PARKING GARAGE, THE WINDOW WAS UP THIS WAS AT ABOUT 630 AM CST. UPON RETURNING TO MY PARKED/STATIONARY TRUCK AT A BREAK AROUND 9 AM CST, THE WINDOW HAD DROPPED HALFWAY DOWN AND THE SAME THROUGHOUT THE DAY. I WENT TO THE DEALER AT ONCE, AND WAS TOLD THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, AND ITS NOT COVERED BECAUSE OF MY MILEAGE. SO I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR IT, FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT EVEN 2 YEARS OLD, AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. NOT TO MENTION THAT IT WOULD NOT STAY UP AND THE TRUCK WAS NOT ATTENDED TO IN A UNSECURE GARAGE IN THE NOT SO NICE PART OF THE CITY. NOW THE BACK DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW IS DOING THE SAME THING, AND ITS NO WHERE NEAR COLD (CONSTANTLY ABOVE 60 DEGREES EVEN AT NIGHT). THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM FOR ALL VEHICLES THAT ARE MADE BY DODGE THAT HAVE THIS WORTHLESS AND CHEAPLY MADE WINDOW MECHANISMS.

MY TRUCK HAS JUST AT 36,000 MILES AND IS A 2016. AT AROUND 34,000 THE CRUISE CONTROL HAS NOT BEEN WORKING PROPERLY. THE ON/OFF BUTTON DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER IF THE TRUCK IS MOVING OR STATIONARY. IT DECIDES WHEN IT WANTS TO TURN ON OR NOT. MAY GO DAYS WITHOUT WORKING, MAY WORK FINE ONE DAY, AND THEN NOT WORK AGAIN FOR DAYS. IT IS GOING TO THE DEALER TODAY - IT NOW HAS 35,966. I WOULD HOPE IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY, BUT MORE TO COME. I FIRST NOTICED THIS AROUND APRIL 23, 2018 WHEN I STARTED MY NEW JOB AND NOW DRIVE 40 MILES BACK AND FORTH TO WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT VIBRATION WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BONNEVILLE AND SON CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (625 HOOKSETT RD, MANCHESTER, NH) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED TIRE MAINTENANCE TO REPAIR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FOSS MOTORS (133 PORTSMOUTH AVE, EXETER, NH), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 24,600. *TT

I KEEP HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN THE TRUCK. THE PLUGIN AREAS FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICES IN THE REAR PASSENGER KEEPS BURNING OUT FUSES. I AM ALSO HAVING ISSUES WITH MY CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL ACTING LIKE IT HAS A SHORT TURNING ITSELF ON AND OFF. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE OR IN THE DRIVE WAY AS WELL.

VEHICLE WAS POINTED DOWNHILL ON A CONCRETE DRIVEWAY WITH A TRAILER ATTACHED WHICH WEIGHED APPROXIMATELY 1200 POUNDS. THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION WAS IN PARK, THE PARKING BRAKE APPLIED AND THE ENGINE OFF. A WHEEL CHOCK WAS PLACED IN FRONT (DOWNHILL SIDE) OF THE DRIVERS REAR WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT UNDISTRIBUTED FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 TO 30 MINUTES WHEN IT BEGAN TO ROLL DOWNHILL ON ITS OWN. IT CAME TO REST IN A DITCH.

THE TAILGATE COMES OPEN SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING. THE TAILGATE DID NOT HAVE ANY CARGO AGAINST IT. THE TAILGATE HAS CAME OPEN SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST TWO MONTHS. LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ON 5/18/2018.

I HAVE A 2016 RAM ECODIESEL FULLY LOADED LIMITED 1500 AND I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH IT THIS PAST YEAR. I HAVE GONE TO THREE DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND NONE OF THEM CAN FIX THE VEHICLE IT ONLY HAS 40K MILES ON IT AND IS IN PERFECT CONDITION OTHER THAN NOW IT IS OVERHEATING AND THE FAN IS ON CONSTANTLY. I BELIEVE MAYBE THERE IS A LEAK IN THE COOLANT LINE? I DON'T KNOW, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS HAVE BEEN USELESS, I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIPS WITH THE PROBLEM ABOUT 10 TIMES. WHAT DO I DO? IT WAS A VERY EXPENSIVE VEHICLE AND I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO BE GOING THROUGH THIS. HOW DO I GET RAM TO RESPOND? WHO DO I CONTACT TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THEM?

EXHAUST MANIFOLD SOUNDS LIKE ITS LEAKING AT START UP
