2014 Ram 1500 complaints

OIL FILTER ADAPTER OIL LEAK DEALER REPLACED ONE SEAL .CONTINUES TO LEAK LESS. PENTASTAR V6 DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE OIL ADAPTER. FIRE HAZARD. BELL HOUSING AND TRANSMISSION PAN SOAKED WITH MOTOR OIL.

CRUISE CONTROL WON'T TURN ON. I'VE READ THAT IF I WAS ABLE TO TURN IT ON IT MIGHT NOT DISENGAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL TAPPING NOISE, WHICH WAS A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO JT'S DODGE LEXINGTON (4838 SUNSET BLVD, LEXINGTON, SC 29072, (803) 220-3725) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE DETAILS WERE NOT PROVIDED. THE CONTACT WAS WAITING TO FIND OUT IF THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT THE SAME DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE ALL REPAIRS FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,657. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

I WAS ACCELERATING MY TRUCK ON A CITY STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. THE POWER CONTROL MODULE, BATTERY CONTROL MODULE, CRANK POSITION SENSOR, TONE WHEEL AND POWER STEER CONTROL MODULE ALL FAILED AT THE SAME TIME. THE TRUCK SHUT DOWN AND HAD TO BE TOWED INTO THE DEALER.

LOST ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING CANNOT STEER TRUCK

THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD CONTINUES TO LEAK. I BELIEVE IT HAS TO DO WITH THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BRACKET BOLTS THAT BREAK. RAM CONTINUES TO REPAIR WITH THE SAME POOR QUALITY PARTS.

THE SHEET METAL BRACKETS THAT STEP BARS ATTACH TO HAVE RIPPED OUT. THE METAL IS WEAK AND RAM WILL NOT COVER IT UNDER THEIR WARRANTY.

WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP THE TRANSMISSION CONDUCTS A HARSH DOWN SHIFT FROM 3RD GEAR TO 2ND AND OR 2ND TO 1ST GEAR. I FEEL THAT THIS WILL CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION EVENTUALLY WEAR DOWN. DODGE MECHANICS SAY THERE ARE NOT FAULT CODES.

I WAS EXITING THE VEHICLE THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND I HAD PUT IT INTO PARK, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY WENT INTO REVERSE.I STEPPED OUT OF THE TRUCK AND WAS KNOCKED OVER MY LEGS WERE UNDER THE TRUCK I MANAGED TO GET THEM,OUT FROM UNDER THE TRUCK,THE EDGE OF THE FRONT WHEEL CAUGHT MY RIGHT FOOT PULLING THE SNEAKER OFF AND SPRAINING MY ANKLE. THE DOOR CAUGHT MY HEAD AND SPLIT IT OPEN. I HAD TO GO TO THE ER FOR MEDICAL ATTENTION. I WAS THE ONLY ONE WITH INJURIES AS NO ONE ELSE WAS INVOLVED IN THE ACCIDENT.THE TRUCK CONTINUED IN REVERSE AND RAN INTO A BOX VAN WITH A LIFT GATE. IT CAUSED ABOUT $6000 DAMAGE TO MY TRUCK THERE SEEMS TO BE NUMEROUS INCIDENTS OF PROBLEMS WITH THE ROTARY GEAR SHIFT ON THESE TRUCKS WHERE THE TRUCK HAS BEEN IN PARK AND THE TRUCK WENT INTO REVERSE. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL.

THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH 2014 RAM TRUCKS. THE FUEL SENDING UNIT WILL GO OUT SEND AN EML CODE AND THE FUEL GAUGE WILL DROP DOWN TO EMPTY EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A FULL TANK. DODGE WANTS TO CHARGE ME $1000 TO REPLACE THIS, SINCE I AM OUTSIDE OF THE OEM WARRANTY. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS TO ME. IT HAPPENED TO MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WHILE THEY WERE DRIVING MY TRUCK AND HAD TO STOP AND TOP OFF THE GAS TANK OTHERWISE THE TRUCK COULD HAVE SHUT DOWN. IT HAD 3/4 TANK OF GAS IN IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BECOME A RECALL.

IT STARTED OUT AS FLASHING INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND WIPERS RUNNING AND ENGINE WOULDN'T START. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND NOTHING WAS FOUND WRONG. MADE TWO MORE TRIPS FOR THE SAME THING UNTIL THEY SAID ANTS HAD GOTTEN INTO IT AND CHEWED ON THE WIRING INSTALLATION. THE HARNESS WAS REPLACED BUT NO EVIDENCE OF IT BEING REPLACED (ORIGINAL FACTORY TORQUE MARKINGS STILL VISIBLE). LESS THAN A YEAR LATER THE ELECTRICAL IS STILL NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON IS INTERMITTENT AT BEST. THIS MORNING THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START AGAIN AND THIS TIME IT HAD TO BE TOWED IN. STILL WAITING ON RESULTS.

THE POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY ONTO OUR STREET RESULTING IN INABILITY TO STEER THE TRUCK EFFECTIVELY. A WARNING LIGHT APPEARED & I HAD TO LOOK ONLINE TO SEE WHAT IT MEANT AS THE MANUAL DID NOT HAVE IT. I HAD TO HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED TO PUEBLO DODGE & SERVICE ADVISOR LESLIE LATER NOTIFIED ME OF A $2,300 COST TO REPAIR THE RACK & PINION TO GET THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WORKING AGAIN. I HAVE LEARNED THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2014 RAM 1500 P/U'S IN EVEN MORE HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS ON THE ROAD/STREET. IT HAS ABOUT 46,000 MILES ON IT. I AM TOLD THAT THERE IS NO RECOURSE BY THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SVC REP ERNESHA BUT SHE WILL FILE MY COMPLAINT. IT WILL NOT GO ANY FURTHER THAN THAT AS SHE SAYS IT IS NOT WORTHY AND OUT OF THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY. LESLIE SAYS IT IS NOT PART OF THE 100,000 MILE DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY. I WAS CONSIDERING PURCHASING A NEW RAM TRUCK AS WELL BUT ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT BASED ON THIS EXPERIENCE AS I WILL APPARENTLY HAVE TO PAY AT LEAST $2,300 TO REPAIR A HAZARDOUS DEFECT IN A RELATIVELY NEW VEHICLE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION OTHERWISE. I AM OBVIOUSLY VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS COMPANY AND SITUATION.

THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECELERATES FOR A FEW SECONDS WHILE DRIVING WHICH CAUSES LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. VERY UNSAFE CONDITION. POTENTIAL TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS ISSUE HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. ONCE APPROX A MONTH AGO AT ~94000 MILES AND THEN TWICE ON JUNE 8, AT APPROX 97000 MILES.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE, ON A TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION MY STEERING WHEEL WOULD JERK BACK THE OPPOSITE WAY. THIS WAS A SUDDEN ONSET WITHOUT WARNING. EVENTUALLY IT LED TO BARELY BEING ABLE TO TURN THE TRUCK AT ALL. NO SERVICE LIGHTS WERE ON, DEALER SAID THAT IT WOULD EVENTUALLY GO OUT AND NOT BE ABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE. MINE IS A 2014, THERE WAS A 2018 IN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALER. DEALER HAD ALSO HAD 4 OTHER TRUCKS (SAME MODEL) IN THE SHOP WITHIN THE LAST FEW WEEKS AND THE PART WAS ON BACKORDER. DEALER HAD NO INFORMATION ON A RECALL BUT IF THIS IS HAPPENING IN 2018 MODELS AND THE DEALER HAS THEM IN TO BE WORKED ON IN LARGE NUMBERS THIS CLEARLY SAYS THERE IS SOMETHING GOING ON. IT IS UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING NOT KNOWING WHEN IT IS GOING TO LOCK UP. I KNOW MY TRUCK HAS OVER 100,000 MILES BUT THERE ARE 2018 IN THERE THAT BARELY HAVE ANY ON THEM.

VEHICLE HAD WELL KNOW LIFTER FAILER INSIDE A 5.7L HEMI. THE FAILURE CAUSED A CAM SHAFT NOTCH TO BE PLACED IN THE LOBBY OF THE SHAFT. VEHICLE STILL HAS FACTORY WARRANTY BUT FACTORY OEM PARTS THAT ARE KNOW TO FAIL WE'RE PUT BACK IN. MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO POSSIBLE MOTOR FAILURE WHILE DRIVING LOOSING ALL POWER TO VEHICLE AND HARDNING OF BREAKING SYSTEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE, THE GEAR SHIFTER DID NOT ENGAGE AND THE VEHICLE MOVED FORWARD. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE WHEN THE GEAR WAS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURES BEGAN APPROXIMATELY THREE YEARS AGO WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURES HAD BECOME WORSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DOMINION OF BEDFORD (540-586-8221, LOCATED AT 1750 INDEPENDENCE BLVD, BEDFORD, VA 24523) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT NO FAILURE CODES WERE FOUND. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THERE WAS NO TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AND THAT THE VEHICLE PERFORMED AS DESIGNED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND REFERRED THE CONTACT BACK TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,000.

HAD TO REPLACE DRIVERS SIDE SEATBELT IN 2016 AT 22567 MILES. NO COST AS UNDER WARRANTY. HAD TO REPLACE SAME SEATBELT 2019 AT 83860. WAS CHARGED $277.78 FOR THIS. IN COMPLAINING TO FCA THEY SAID SEATBELT SHOULD HAVE BEEN UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY MAY REFUND MY CHARGES. BUT WHY DID A SEATBELT FAIL TWICE IN 5 YEARS? SEAT BELT WILL NOT ENGAGE IN THE RECEIVER BOTH TIMES

TAKATA RECALL. WHEN MY 2014 RAM 1500 IS STATIONARY, MOVING, OR JUST TURNED THE CAR ON. MY TOUCH SCREEN GOES BLACK, FREEZES, AND I CANNOT CONTROLL THE HEAT OR A.C, FAN SPEED, VOLUME TO THE RADIO, RADIO, HEATED SEATS, ANY ELECTRONIC BUTTONS ON MY STEERING WHEEL OR ANY OF THE BUTTONS THAT ARE CONNECTED TO MY SCREEN/RADIO. MY DAUGHTER'S BOY FRIEND JUST PURCHASED THE SAME YEAR TURCK I DID AND HE STARTED HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH HIS SCREEN.

I WAS DRIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS PULLING A BOAT ON A FISHING TRIP. COMING OFF THE LAST PASS INTO GUNNISON COLORADO, I HEARD KNOCKING HEARD A BIG BANG. THE TRUCK SHUT DOWN FOR LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE. COULDN'T START IT, COULDN'T GET IT INTO NATURAL. GOT IT TO A DIESEL SHOP FIGURED IT SPUN A ROD BEARING. I DID NOT KNOW THAT WHEN A VIEHICAL COMES DOWN FROM CANADA, IT LOSES ITS DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY! WE ARE ALL NORTH AMERICAN! WHAT EXACTLY IS BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE CRUSE CONTROL DID NOT ENGAGE. ON OTHER OCCASIONS, THE CRUISE CONTROL DID NOT DEACTIVATE. THE FAILURES OCCURRED FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BAXTER JEEP/RAM/CHRYSLER (7713 S 19TH STREET, BELLEVIEW, NE 68147) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HARNESS FOR THE STEERING COLUMN WAS SHORTING OUT AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. THIS RESULTED IN THE ACTIVATION OF THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP AND LOW FUEL MESSAGE. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT FCA IS WELL AWARE OF WITH THOUSANDS OF REPORTED CASES ONLINE.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE A 2014 RAM 1500 AND THE FUEL SENSOR WENT OUT ON IT WITH ONLY 18000 MILES. UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS PAST THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY COVERAGE SO IT'S NOT COVERED BY THE DEALERSHIP. UPON RESEARCH, I HAVE LEARNED THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE REPORTED BY MANY RAM OWNERS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND I FEEL IT IS A A SAFETY THREAT SINCE YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN YOUR VEHICLE. THIS COULD LEAD THE DRIVER TO BEING STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND UNSAFE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT THIS GETS TURNED INTO A RECALL. I REFUSE TO PAY OVER $1000 TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED JUST SO CHRYSLER CAN MAKE MORE MONEY ON NON-RELIABLE EQUIPMENT. THE VEHICLE CAN EITHER BE STATIONARY OR IN MOTION WHEN THE FUEL SENSOR HAS FAILED.

I BELIEVE WHEN MY TRUCK WAS IN FOR THE LAST RECALL THE DEALER SAID THEY NEEDED TO FLASH MY TIPM AND NO 8M HAVING STARTING ISSUES WITH MY TRUCK . THIS WILL BE THE FIFTH TIME MY TRUCK HAS HAD ISSUES AND NOT REALLY TRUSTING DODGE RIGHT NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, BUT DID NOT FIND A FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BOLTS TO THE MANIFOLD WERE DETACHED ON BOTH SIDES AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO 1-10 CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (LOCATED AT 79200 VERNER RD, INDIO, CA 92203, (760) 345-1000). THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED AND THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 119,833. *BF CONSUMER STATED I HAD COMPUTER COMPONENTS (RECALLED) REPLACED DUE TO THE SHIFTER COMING OUT OF GEAR. I FEEL THAT CAUSED TRANSMISSION DAMAGE WHICH I HAD NOTIFIED 1-10 CHRYSLER DODGE ABOUT. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION AT THIS TIME. I HAD THE MANIFOLD AND THE BOTS REPLACED.*JB

TAKATA RECALL WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK THE ROTARY KNOB WOULD SPIN BACK AND FORTH AND WOULDN'T MOVE OUT OF PARK. IT STATED SERVICE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER. I DICONNECTED THE BATTERY AND RECONNECTED IT. VERY QUICKLY I MOVED IT INTO DRIVE AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK INTO DRIVE AND IN MOTION . SHORTLY AFTER AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED FROM DRIVE INTO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN CAUSING THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE TO ACCELERATE AND ONCE I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY MANEUVER IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND IT WAS STUCK IN PARK. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP IN BUFORD, GA FOR FURTHER EVALUATION. THEY HAVE STATED IT WAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH A CODE IN THE COMPUTER.

FUEL SENSOR IS WRECKED AT UNDER 50K MILES. THE FUEL GAUGE WILL SUDDENLY GO TO 0 WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON IMMEDIATELY AFTER LAST GAS FILL. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR RAMS, FAULTY PRODUCT BY FAULTY MANUFACTURING.

I HAVE A 2014 RAM 1500 SLT 4WD CC I BOUGHT IT ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. ABOUT A WEEK AGO MY FRIEND AND I WERE ABOUT TO TAKE A DRIVE AND WHEN I STARTED IT MY FRIEND WHOM IS A MECHANIC SAID YOU EITHER HAVE AN ENGINE KNOCK OR AN EXHAUST LEEK. WELL I CHECKED IT OUT AT THE DEALER AND WELL THE EXHAUST LEAK WAS DUE TO A BROKEN BOLT IN THE MANIFOLD AND THEN THE DEALER CALLS ME AND SAYS YOU HAVE A LIFTER TAPING THEY SAID THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WOULD FIX IT BUT I HAVE SEEN A COUPLE OF VIDEOS AND FORUMS AND THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON BOTH IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHOM HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM I LOVE MY TRUCK BUT IF YOU SPEND THE KIND OF MONEY THAT WE RAM OWNERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE COVERED IVE BEEN TREATED WONDERFUL BY THE DEALER BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE RECODNISED BY CHRYSLER AND FIXED BY CHRYSLER IVE ONLY PUT 20000 MILES ON IT IT ONLY HAS 82000 TOTAL THIS SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM YET IF AT ALL I TREAT MY TRUCK LIKE A PART OF THE FAMILY IT GETS SERVICED REGULARLY MY TRUCK SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE KIND OF ISSUES PLEASE HELP DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS SOMEONE NEEDS TO

FUEL SENSOR FAILURE. IT IS A KNOWN ONGOING ISSUE WITH RAM TRUCKS (IT IS POSTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET) ABOUT ALL MODELS AND YEARS GOING THROUGH THIS DEFECTIVE SENSOR. IT HAS MY ENGINE LIGHT ON AND MY GAUGE STUCK ON EMPTY IF I DRIVE 15MILES ON A FULL TANK. (GAUGE ONLY WORKS IF TANK IF 100%FULL AND ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON EVEN THEN)

IT HAS AN EXHAUST LEAK IN THE MANIFOLD DUE TO FAULTY BOLTS. I HAVE RESEARCHED IT AND TALKED TO MECHANICS, AND IT IS A WELL DOCUMENT PROBLEM WITH DODGE/RAM VEHICLES. I HAVE LEARNED THAT IT USED TO BE COVERED UNDER SOME WARRANTIES, BUT NOT ALL. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A VEHICLE DEFECT THAT DODGE/RAM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING.

TRUCK MADE A LOUD PINGING NOISE, WHILE DRIVING ON A COUNTY ROAD, TRUCK APPEARED TO CATCH FIRE, CAB FILLED UP WITH BLACK SMOKE WITH SOOT WITH A BURNING SMELL WHICH CAUSED THE TRUCK TO SHUT DOWN. THREW A CODE OF LOW PRESSURE FUEL AND ENGINE LIGHT ON. HAD TOWED TO NEAREST DEALERSHIP, WHICH COULD NOT PULL UP CODES THROWN. CHANGED FUEL FILTER. COUPLE MONTHS LATER, WHILE DRIVING ON A COUNTY ROAD, TRUCK THREW CODE ELECTRONIC IGNITION THROTTLE CONTROL, COULD NOT GET ANY PRESSURE, SMOKING UNDER HOOD AND FROM BEHIND. APPEARED TO HAVE CAUGHT FIRE AGAIN BUT TRUCK DID NOT SHUT DOWN AS IN 1ST SITUATION. HAD TOWED TO NEAREST DEALERSHIP. HAS BEEN THERE NOW FOR 14 DAYS. HAVING TO REPLACE EGR COOLER AND INTAKE MANIFOLD ALONG WITH A LOT OF SEALS AS I LEARNED THEY ARE PLASTIC AND MELTED DUE TO FIRE TWICE. WHY WOULD DODGE MAKE ANY INTAKE ESPECIALLY ON AN ECO DIESEL PLASTIC? SOUNDS LIKE ASKING FOR A FIRE ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP. ALSO TOO...THESE PARTS BEING REPLACED AND BEING COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY ARE ALSO PART OF THE "ECO DIESEL SETTLEMENT" SETTLED ON MAY 3RD, 3019 WHICH MY TRUCK WAS TOWED ON MAY 2, WHICH IN THIS SETTLEMENT THEY AWARDED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE EXACT PARTS BEING REPLACED. I CURRENTLY HAVE NO PICS OR DOCUMENTS AS TRUCK IS STILL CURRENTLY AT DEALERSHIP BEING WORKED ON AS I WAS TOLD THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE AND THIS IS A VERY COMPLICATED TASK TO REPAIR.

VERY HARD TO STEER WHEN MOVING, ANY DRIVING CITY OR HIGHWAYMORE GOING AROUND TURNS OR TURNING CORNERS, IT GOES EXTREMELY HARD, THEN EASIER THE HARD AGAIN, I WAS TOLD THERE ARE RECALLS FOR IT STARTING 1/2015, THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS , I HAVE NO PICTURES SINCE YOU CAN'T SEE A PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE, DOES THIS AT ANY SPEED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. JUNEKS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (644 W JACKSON BLVD, SPEARFISH, SD 57783, (605) 644-7773) DIAGNOSED THAT THE BOLTS FRACTURED FROM THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

THE FUEL SENSOR FAILS AND CAUSES THE DRIVER TO RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE IN TRAFFIC. THE GAS GAUGE ONLY WORKS WHEN THE TANKS IS EXTREMELY FULL ONCE THE TRUCK HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR FIVE MILES IT GOES THE GAUGE READS EMPTY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. AS A RESULT THERE IS NO WAY TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH FUEL IS LEFT IN THE TANK.

HEADLIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, AND BRAKE LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 10 MPH WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE SERVICE ELECTRIC CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. FINDLAY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (10305 U.S. 224 WEST, FINDLAY, OH 45840, (419) 423-1715) DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED THE TURBO CHARGER, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. REINEKE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (207 W WATER ST, NORTH BALTIMORE, OH 45872, (419) 492-7003) WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED A SECOND TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,800.

I HAVE HAD 2 RACK PINIONS REPLACED AND WAS JUST TOLD THAT THE THIS ONE IS BAD TO. STIFF STEERING WITH IT CATCHING AT TIMES ALSO SERVICE STEERING LIGHT ON.

I STARTED GETTING A TICKING IN MY MOTOR AROUND 60K MILES. I TOOK IT TO TYLER'S CHRYSLER JEEP AND RAM IN NILES MICHIGAN FOR TWO RECALLS, THE TICKING SOUND ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, AND A POSSIBLE REAR MAIN SEAL LEAKING. THE SERVICE WRITER TOLD ME THEY PUT DYE IN THE OIL AND I HAD TO BRING IT BACK AND RECOMMENDED I REPLACE THE SPARK PLUGS FOR THE TICKING BUT DID PUT IN MY FILE WHY HE WAS RECOMMENDING IT. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO MY NORMAL MECHANIC FOR THE TICKING SOUND AGAIN AND NE SAYS I HAVE BROKEN EXHAUST STUDS. NOW I AM 2 MONTHS OUTSIDE OF MY WARRANTY AND THE DEALERSHIP WON'T COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THE SERVICE WRITER COULDN'T DO HIS JOB. IN DO RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE, APPARENTLY BROKEN EXHAUST MANIFOLD STUDS ARE SO COMMON ON THESE TRUCKS THAT REPLACING THEM IS CONSIDERED STANDARD MAINTANANCE???

UPON STARTING MY TRUCK BOTH WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS, THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER SCREEN FLICKERS AND INTERMITTENTLY BLACKS OUT. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS TO MOVE THE DIC DIMMER KNOB BACK AND FORTH TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. THAT ACTION DOES NOT CORRECT THE FLICKERING. THE DIC INFORMATION INCLUDES ENGINE ISSUES, CRUISE CONTROL, SPEED, VEHICLE SYSTEMS WARNINGS, TIRE AIR PRESSURE, OIL PRESSURE, OIL TEMPERATURE, WATER TEMPERATURE, CHARGING SYSTEM STATUS, ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM STATUS, ETC. I WAS TOLD "FEDERAL REGULATIONS REQUIRE ALL INFORMATION DISPLAYS BE CLEARLY LEGIBLE.". THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, CAN YOU HELP ME TO GET IT CORRECTED? LET ME KNOW. REGARDS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WENT TO RAM DEALER FOR RECALL #'S U61, U53, U07. WHEN VEHICLE WAS RETURNED AM NOW ABLE TO SHIFT FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE WITHOUT TOUCHING PARKING BRAKE WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. ALSO ABLE TO SHIFT FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE AND FROM DRIVE/REVERSE TO PARK WITHOUT TOUCHING BRAKE PEDAL. REPORTED PROBLEM TO DEALER 2/21/2019. DEALER HAS PROCRASTINATED IN FIXING ISSUE. NOTIFIED RAM CUSTOMER SERVICE 3/27/2019 TO HELP GET RECALL PROBLEM FIXED. DEALER STATED WOULD ORDER PART. NO CALLS AGAIN FROM DEALER. CALLED RAM CUSTOMER SERVICE 04/15/2019 AND PROBLEM HAS BEEN ELEVATED, BUT STILL NO FIX TO VEHICLE. DEALER AGAIN CALLED WITH NO SOLUTION TO CORRECT RECALL CREATED SAFETY ISSUE. AGAIN, VEHICLE CAN BE SHIFTED FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WITHOUT TOUCHING BRAKE PEDAL.

VEHICLE HAS JUST UNDER 77K MILES ON IT, POWERTRAIN WARRANTY EXPIRED END OF FEBRUARY DUE TO TIME RESTRAINT BEFORE REACHING THE 100K MILES LIMIT (7YR/100K MILE ON A CERTIFIED USED) VEHICLE PURCHASED MARCH 2016. WHILE DRIVING THIS WEEK THE POWER STEERING RANDOMLY FAILS CAUSING THE WHEEL TO SNAP TO ONE SIDE, AT FREEWAY SPEED THIS COULD BE FETAL. I HAVE READ FORUMS OF SEVERAL OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE IN THE PAST AND IT COSTING $2,000-4,000+ TO REPLACE THE ESP (ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING). PART IS NOT FIXABLE WITHOUT REPLACEMENT AND UNDER 100K MILES SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS ISSUE. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF THIS WOULD'VE HAPPENED AT FREEWAY SPEED, I HAD THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WHILE TURNING A CORNER AT APPROX 25MPH NEARLY SENDING ME OFF THE ROAD. RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND PROBLEM WENT AWAY LEADING ME TO BELIEVE IT MAY BE A ONE TIME SOFTWARE GLITCH. VEHICLE HAD NO PROBLEMS FOR THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS AND NOW THE STEERING HAS REPEATEDLY FAILED CAUSING ME TO BE UNABLE TO DRIVE IT.

FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY SHORTLY AFTER FILLING UP. THIS CAN CAUSE SAFETY ISSUES IF THE VEHICLE RUNS OUT OF GAS AND LEAVES THE DRIVER STRANDED AS THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS LEFT IN THE TANK. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH RAM TRUCKS AND A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS COUNTLESS PEOPLE THAT HAVE OR ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. OUT OF ALL OF MY YEARS DRIVING, I'VE NEVER KNOWN OF A SINGLE VEHICLE WITH THIS MANY FAILURES OF THIS TYPE.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE DO NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE ILLUMINATION FOR SAFE NIGHT TIME DRIVING ESPECIALLY ON WET PAVEMENT.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE STEERING STARTED TO GET ALMOST UN-STEERABLE AND STIFF. DEALER SAYS COMPLETE STEERING SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. TRUCK IS ONLY 4 1/2 YEARS OLD AND IS VERY WELL MAINTAINED. *DT *DT*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BOLT THAT HELD THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD FRACTURED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 126,000.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR IS ILLUMINATED. A CLICKING NOISE OCCURS WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED TO THE RIGHT. VEHICLE VEERS TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT UPON EXITING TURNS AND CONTINUING IN A FORWARD DIRECTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR FAILED TO OPEN PROPERLY. WHEN THE DOOR WAS OPENED AN INCH AND A HALF OR MORE, IT MADE CONTACT WITH THE FENDER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BROWNING DODGE (LOCATED AT 1983 HAMNER AVE, NORCO, CA 92860, (951) 272-3110) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR GASKET NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND CASE NUMBER: 58241629 WAS PROVIDED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

WE OWN A 2014 RAM 1500 LARAMIE. IT IS 3.22.19, SINCE JAN 4TH 2019 WE HAVE HAD 4 NEW COMPRESSORS INSTALLED AND WE JUST GOT OUR TRUCK BACK AFTER 1 MONTH OF NOT HAVING IT AND IT FAILED AGAIN FOR THE 5TH TIME AFTER DRIVING IT 15 MILES. WE ARE COMPLETELY DISAPPOINTED IN THE DESIGN OF THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION IN THIS TRUCK. WE ARE NOW AT A LOSS BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT HAD OUR TRUCK FOR 3 MONTHS AND STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON IT AND CANNOT DRIVE IT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A DEALERSHIP TO SELL A 28,000 TRUCK THAT YOU CAN'T USE OR DRIVE.

WHILE DRIVING, FUEL GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY, DISPLAYS 0 MILES TO EMPTY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, AND SCREEN DISPLAYS "FUEL SENSOR FAIL". AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE THE GAUGE WILL GO BACK TO THE CORRECT LEVEL AS WILL THE MILES TO EMPTY, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL REMAIN ON. THIS HAPPENS ANY TIME THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A COMPLETELY FULL GAS TANK, BUT IS ALSO SPORADIC AND DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL OF THE TIME.

THE SENSOR ON THE DEF TANK IN THE RAM 1500 ECODISELS IS FAILING. INSTEAD OF BEING ABLE TO BUY A SENSOR TO REPLACE IT RAM IS MAKING YOU BUY A WHOLE TANK TO REPLACE THE SENSOR. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MULTIPLE PEOPLE THAT I KNOW OF AND RAM STILL REFUSES TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V021000 (STEERING). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. CARL BURGER DODGE (8355 HERCULES ST, LA MESA, CA 91942, (619) 485-1485) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.
