2014 Ram 1500 complaints

. MY PICK-UP AVERAGED 24 PER GALLON BETWEEN LOCAL AND EXPRESSWAY DRIVING. EXPRESSWAY DRIVING ONLY (FOR EXAMPLE, TO NIAGARA FALLS IN 2015) AVERAGED 27 MILES PER GALLON. FOLLOWING REPLACEMENT OF SPARK PLUGS AND OIL CHANGE AND 2 FACTORY RECALLS MY PICK-UP LOST POWER AND COULD BARELY DO 20 MILES PER GALLON. THE ENGINE BECAME VERY LOUD. THE LONGER I DROVE IT, THE LESS MILEAGE I GOT -- THE ENGINE ALSO BEGAN HOWLING/WHISTLING AS I TRIED TO INCREASE SPEED. IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN SPEED, I HAD TO CONSTANTLY PRESS MY FOOT TO EXCELERATE, EVEN GOING DOWN INCLINES. I HAD TO CONTINUOUSLY BRING MY PICK-UP BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP IN ST. CHARLES, ILLINOIS BECAUSE VARIOUS SYSTEMS BEGAN TO FAIL -- SAFETY BREAKS, FUEL RELATED BLACK BOX, DASHBOARD PANEL SIGNALS , ETC. I EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT THE STRESS ON MY TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE. EVENTUALLY, BY PROCESS OF ELIMIMATION, SERVICE DEPARTMENT REVISITED THE 2 RECALLS -- ONE OF WHICH WAS THE CRUISE CONTROL RECALL. WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN AGAIN, THEY FOUND 6 LEAKS LOCATED ON THE TOP OF THE ENGINE. ANYTHING ABOVE 50-55 MPH IS DIFFICULT. I FEEL THAT THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT CHANGE GEARS IN A TIMELY FASHION, AND SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL. THE RPM IS VERY HIGH AND THE ENGINE REMAINS IN EXCERATION MODE EITHER TOO LONG OR, AT HIGHER SPEEDS, NEVER KICKS IN

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN, THE WHEEL FELT HARD TO TURN, BUT THEN WAS FINE AFTER THAT, ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER GETTING ONTO THE HIGHWAY THE WHEEL GOT TIGHT AGAIN, AND WHILE MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY THE WHEEL WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. TAKING AN EXIT AND MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN I HAD TO USE ALL OF MY EFFORT TO TURN AND STRAIGHTEN BACK OUT. FELT LIKE THE WHEEL WAS GOING TO LOCK UP. MAKING TURNS THE REST OF THE WAY BACK HOME WAS VERY DIFFICULT. THE EPS SYSTEM WILL TURN BACK ON WHEN THE WHEELS ARE ABOUT 3/4 OF THE WAY TURNED, AND TURN BACK OFF MAKING THE TURN VERY DIFFICULT THEN BRIEFLY EASY. BUT WHEN I WAS HAVING TO USE MY BODY TO TURN AND THEN EPS KICKS BACK ON I MADE A VIOLENT TURN AND HAD A VERY HARD TIME GETTING BACK STRAIT AND IN MY LANE

AIR SUSPENSION DOES NOT WORK IN THE COLD. HAS BEEN BACK AT THE DEALER MANY TIMES. NEW COMPRESSOR NEW SHOCKS AND STILL THE PROBLEM.

2014 DODGE RAM TRUCK. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FUEL SENSOR PROBLEMS. *LD *TR

SLIPPED OUT OF PARK, TRUCK WAS ON WHEEL RAMPS BUT NOT FULLY ON FLAT PART OF RAMP. I WAS CHANGING THE OIL ON THE VEHICLE. IT WAS ON THE RAMPS FOR AROUND 15 MINUTES AND ROLLED BACKWARDS. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL IN PARK AND LUCKILY I WAS NOT UNDER IT AT THE TIME. NOT MY SMARTEST MOVE NO BLOCKS BEHIND WHEELS AND NO PARKING BRAKE ON. I DOUBLE CHECKED AND VEHICLE STARTED AND WAS STILL IN PARK WITHOUT ME TOUCHING THE ROTARY DIAL. THIS SCARED ME ENOUGH TO BE CONCERNED. IGNITION OFF AND KEYS WERE IN OFF POSITION IN THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 72000 MILES AND I HAVE OWNED IT FOR AROUND 50000 OF THOSE MILES. I AM FAMILIAR WITH THE ROTARY DIAL.

ACCELERATION/ CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE: I HAD THE VEHICLE'S CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT (70 MPH) ON THE INTERSTATE. I ACCELERATED TO AVOID A BOTTLENECK IN AN AREA WHERE 3 LANES MERGED INTO TWO. WHEN I LIFTED MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I PUMPED THE BRAKE SEVERAL TIMES TO REDUCE THE SPEED, BUT I COULD NOT RESUME ACCELERATION BECAUSE THE GAS PEDAL LOCKED TO THE FLOOR. I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND COASTED TO THE SHOULDER. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, MANUALLY LIFTED THE PEDAL AND TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON. A DISPLAY MESSAGE STATED: SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL; BUT THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO OPERATE FINE. I HAD THIS EVENT HAPPEN TWO MORE TIMES. ONCE WAS IN A SIMILAR SCENARIO, THE OTHER I REPLICATED IT ON MY OWN. I CONTACTED THE RAM CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER, THEY ADVISED THAT I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS. IF IT IS DUE TO A RECALL IT WILL BE FIXED FOR FREE, OTHERWISE THE DIAGNOSIS COSTS AND REPAIR WILL BE ON ME. MY CONCERN IS THAT I HAD SEVERAL RECALLS FIXED ON NOVEMBER 23, 2018. THIS ISSUE HAD NEVER HAPPENED IN THE PAST UNTIL IT WAS SERVICED FOR THOSE RECALLS. I HAD AN INDIVIDUAL AT AUTOZONE ATTEMPT TO DOWNLOAD THE TROUBLE CODES; NO CODES WERE FOUND. I'VE READ FORUMS ONLINE ABOUT SIMILAR ISSUES, BUT DEALER(S) WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND THE CAUSE DURING DIAGNOSIS. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 33,000 MILES.

THE INCIDENT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME ON I40 IN AMARILLO TEXAS. I WAS DOING 75 MPH AND MY TRUCK LOWERED ALL THE WAY TO THE ENTRY EXIT SETTING ON THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION. I HAD LITERALLY NO SUSPENSION. AS I WAS TRYING TO SLOW DOWN AND TRYING TO PULL OVER I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. MY TRUCK LITERALLY BOUNCED LIKE A LOW RIDER AND MY HEAD HIT THE CEILING. I LOST CONTROL WHEN THE FRONT WHEELS HIT THE GROUND AND ALMOST CRASHED INTO THE CAR NEXT TO ME. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND MY SERVICE AIR SUSPENSION IMMEDIATELY LIGHT CAME ON. NOW MY AIR RIDE SUSPENSION WILL NOT RAISE UP AND CANNOT DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE IT BOUNCES UNCONTROLLABLY. I WAS RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM AND READING ON DODGE RAM FORUMS THAT THIS IS VERY COMMON FOR THESE TRUCKS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND A SERIOUS MATTER. IT COULD HAVE EASILY COST ME OR SOMEBODY ELSE OUR LIFE! THIS WAS VERY SCARY! DODGE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT!

AIR RIDE SUSPENSION FROZE UP WHEN TEMPS WENT BELOW ZERO. AIR RIDE DROPS TO BUMP STOPS WHILE DRIVING CAUSING HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS,WHICH HAS HAPPENED TO US WHILE HUNDREDS OF MILES FROM HOME. WITH NO SUSPENSION HITTING ANY TYPE OF BUMPS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO BOUNCE ANY DIRECTION AND VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL, AND IS HARD ON THE BACK. IT WILL RISE AND ACT PROPERLY THEN JUST DROP TO BUMP STOPS IN A SHORT TIME WITH NO WARNING. THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, AND CITY STREETS IN MOTION. THE COMPONENT IN QUESTION IS THE IS THE ENCLOSED NITROGEN AIR RIDE SUSPENSION CONTROLLING THE COMPRESSOR AND AIR BAGS.

BOUGHT TRUCK AS A CPO IN MAY 2015, A MONTH INTO OWNERSHIP ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, CODE P26AB, ENGINE COOLANT BYPASS VALVE. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE ABLE TO GET ME INTO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO CHECK IT OUT. TECH SAID THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING, IT MUST BE AN OLD CODE THEY DID NOT ERASE. THEN ON 3/4/19 SAME CODE RETURNED, P26AB. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON 2013 RAM FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.

MY WIFE AND I WERE ON A LONG ROAD TRIP WITH OUR INFANT DURING CHRISTMAS. ALL ASPECTS OF MY TRUCK WERE OPERATIONAL AND NO WARNING SIGNS. MY TRUCK IS AN ECODIESEL. ON THE WAY HOME THE TEMPS WERE BELOW FREEZING AND IT BEGAN TO RAIN. WE TRIED TO TURN THE HEAT ON IN THE TRUCK TO FIND THERE WAS NO HEAT. THE TRUCK WAS RUNNING AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE WITH NO SIGNS OF OVERHEATING. WE KEPT DRIVING UNTIL I COULD SAFELY EXIT THE HIGHWAY. WE FUELED UP AND I CHECKED THE TRUCK OVER VISUALLY BUT FOUND NO REASON FOR THE TRUCK TO HAVE NO HEAT AND STILL BE OPERATING UNDER NORMAL TEMPERATURES. WE RETURNED TO DRIVING AND HAD HEAT FOR A BRIEF MOMENT BEFORE IT STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. STILL THE TRUCK WAS OPERATING AT NORMAL TEMPERATURE. WHEN I FINALLY DECIDED TO CHECK THE ANTIFREEZE LEVEL, I LEARNED THAT THE TRUCK WAS VERY LOW AND DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH TO FILL THE HEATER CORE, BUT JUST ENOUGH TO KEEP THE TRUCK FROM OVERHEATING. I ADDED ANTIFREEZE AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE TRUCK FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND COULD NOT DETERMINE WHERE THE LEAK WAS. FINALLY, AFTER READING SEVERAL OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, I DISCOVERED A HIDDEN LEAK IN THE EGR COOLER THAT WAS ESSENTIALLY LEAKING AND BURNING OFF IMMEDIATELY LEAVING NO TRACE BEHIND OF THE LEAK. IT EVENTUALLY GOT BAD ENOUGH THAT IT WOULD LEAVE COOLANT PUDDLES UNDER THE TRUCK. EVEN WITH THE POOL OF COOLANT UNDER THE TRUCK, THERE IS NO VISIBLE EVIDENCE OF THE LEAK EXCEPT FOR MINOR DAMPNESS AROUND ONE PORT OF THE EGR COOLER.

THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION IN ALL OF THESE TRUCKS ARE FAILING IN CANADIAN COLD CLIMATES. MY TRUCK IS CONSISTENTLY RIDING ON THE BUMP STOPS WHEN IT'S COLD OUT CAUSING A VERY ROUGH RIDE THAT IS NOT GOOD FOR THE VEHICLE OR THE PASSENGERS. LET ALONE THE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IS DIMINISHED WITH ZERO SUSPENSION. WHEN IT GETS COLD (-15 OR SO) I WALK OUTSIDE TO SEE MY TRUCKS FRONT END ALL THE WAY LOWERED WITH THE REAR STILL AT NORMAL HEIGHT. WARMING UP TRUCK DOESN'T HELP. THE RIDE HEIGHT BUTTONS JUST FLASH AND WARNING SIGNS SOMETIMES DISPLAY ON THE DASH. MANY PEOPLE (INCLUDING ME) THEN GET BLOWN FUSES OR THE COMPRESSOR FAILS AND THEN THERE IS NO FIX BUT TO GO TO DEALER. DODGE REPLACED MY AIR RIDE COMPONENTS BUT IT DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I FEAR FOR THE COMING YEAR WHEN MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND DRIVING WITH MY KIDS AND I AM DRIVING AROUND WITH NO SUSPENSION. THERE IS ENOUGH PEOPLE THAT HAVE THESE SAME ISSUES AS I'VE DESCRIBED TO WARRANT A RECALL. THERE ARE CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS IN THE USA OVER THIS ISSUE. THERE IS A FACEBOOK GROUP DESCRIBING THESE FAILURES FURTHER. GROUP IS CALLED FCA RAM PICKUP AIR SUSPENSION FAILURES. IT IS UNFATHOMABLE THAT I AM SUPPOSED TO BE DRIVING AROUND IN A VEHICLE WITH MY KIDS IN A TRUCK THAT I'VE PAID MANY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR THAT DOESN'T HAVE SUSPENSION AND NO HELP FROM DODGE. THIS SHOULD BE A BIG ISSUE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO HAVE A BAD ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS.

AIR SUSPENSION WILL FREEZE UP IN NEGATIVE TEMPERATURES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING TRUCK OVER BUMPS, CAUSES VEHICLE TO LOSE STABILITY/TRACTION ON THE ROAD, ESPECIALLY ON ICY ROADS - CAUSING HIGH RISK FOR AN ACCIDENT.

AT ALL FOUR ROOF CORNERS THERE IS A LEAK THAT OCCURS DURING A RAIN STORM. THE ISSUE WITH THIS IS WINDOWS GET A MOISTURE ISSUE AND IMPAIRS VISSION WHILE DRIVING ALSO CREATES A MILDEW ISSUE . THIS CONDITION HAPPENS WHEN IT RAINS , WHILE DRIVING OR SITTING MOTIONLESS. ROAD SURFACE DOESN'T MATTER.

2014 DODGE RAM 1500. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO BRAKE TRANSMISSION SAFETY RECALL AND REPROGRAM POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE SAFETY RECALL. *LD *TR

FUEL LEAK AT INSIDE BEND OF METAL FUEL LINE. FACTORY DEFECT. FUEL LEAK AT SEVERAL INJECTORS WHEE IT MEETS MANIFOLD. GLOW PLUG MODULE AND GLOW PLUGS CONSTANTLY FAILING. WATER PUMP LEAK AND REPLACED. AIR SUSPENSION INOPERABLE. VEHICLE WELL MAINTAINED AND ONLY 32,000 MILES

VEHICLE FUEL GAGE GOES FROM FULL TO EMPTY ONCE THE GAGE REACHES HALF A TANK WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY WITH 69,000 MILES AND DISPLAY READS FUEL SYSTEM FAILURE ENGINE THE SERVICE LIGHT IS ON AND VECHICLE ECO MODE WILL NOT OPERATE. I PROCEEDS TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMBILES ON FEBRUARY 18 2019 CASE # 58020421 AND WAS DIRECTED BY THEM TO TAKE IT TO AN FCA CERTIFIED DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND CALL FCA BACK WITH THE RESULTS. THE DIAGNOTICS SHOULD AN ACTIVE FAULT IN THE FUEL SENDING UNIT AND FCAS RESPONCE BACK WAS SINCE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR ALL THE REPAIRS. MY MAIN COMPLAINT IS THIS IS A REACCURING PROBLEM WITH THEIR FUEL SENDING UNITS WITH MANY RAM OWNERS AND ALL FCA WILL TELL YOU IS TAKE IT TO YOUR DEALERSHIP. $476.00 LATER THEY REPLACED THE OLD SENDING UNIT WITH THE SAME OEM PART NUMBER THAT I BELIEVE IS A FAULTY PART AND THEY WILL ONLY WARRANTY THIS PART GOT 2 YEARS. FCA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND IF THE COMPANY FEELS THAT IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF RELACEMENT THAT NEEDS TO BE EXPRESSED TO THE CUSTOMER WHEN FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THEM.

THIS TRUCK HAS THE OPTIONAL AIR SUSPENSION, WHICH WILL NOT FUNCTION IN COLD WEATHER. THE COMPRESSOR AND LINES GET POLLUTED WITH MOISTURE WHICH FREEZES, CAUSING THE PUMP TO NOT WORK AND CONTROL VALVES TO STICK. THE RESULT IS THE TRUCK HAS NO SUSPENSION WHATSOEVER. WARMING THE TRUCK UP IN THE SHOP RESTORES FUNCTIONALITY TEMPORARILY. THE DEALERSHIP AND FCA ITSELF WILL ONLY REPLACE COMPONENTS, WHICH DOES NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. I HAVE STARTED A FACEBOOK ACTION GROUP THAT HAS NUMEROUS OTHER OWNERS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. FCA WILL NOT RECALL OR CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT.

THE HEMI ENGINE HAS A KNOWN ISSUE FROM 2009 5.7 HEMI UP UNTIL PRESENT BUT RAM IS NOT RECALLING THE ENGINE. THE LIFTERS ARE SEIZING CAUSING THE ENGINE TO FAIL. THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS. THESE ARE FAILING BEFORE 70K MILES AND MINE IS STARTING TO FAIL AS WELL. ITS A 4000 DOLLAR FIX WHEN THEY DO. DODGE RAM NEEDS TO RECALL THIS ISSUE. I PURCHASED MY TRUCK FOR $26000 AND HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR LESS THAN 2 YEARS.

I HAD 2 MORE RECALL NOTICES SENT TO OUR HOUSE IN REGARDS TO THIS VEHICLE. I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE RECALLS DONE BETWEEN THE DATE THEY ARRIVED HERE AND THE FIRST OF THIS YEAR DUE TO SOME HEALTH ISSUES. SINCE RECOVERING FROM THE ISSUES I GOT ON THIS SITE TO SEE WHAT EXACTLY THE RECALLS WERE AND NOW NOTHING POPS UP WHEN I ENTER THE VIN #. I CALLED THE DEALER AS WELL AND ASKED AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL AT THIS TIME. I FIND THIS FUNNY SINCE IVE GONE TO OITHER SITES AND LOOKED UP RECALLS AND THIS VEHICLE HAS A HISTORY OF 12 RECALLS. I AS WELL KNOW THAT NOT ALL OF THE RECALLS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO MOVE OUT OF PARK. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAYED "SHIFT TO PARKING OR DESIRED GEARS". THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 138,000.

MY TRUCK HAS THE "4-CORNER AIR SUSPENSION" WHICH WAS STANDARD ON MY MODEL. IT REPEATEDLY FAILS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE GETS BELOW FREEZING. IT WILL TYPICALLY DROP THE FRONT END VERY LOW AND SOMETIMES EVEN THE REAR END. THIS HAPPENS WHILE PARKED OR DRIVING. IT IS TERRIFYING TO DRIVE WHEN THIS HAPPENS - BUMPS NEARLY THROW YOU OFF THE ROAD AND STEERING IS UNPREDICTABLE. I CANNOT FIND A DEALER THAT IS SURE THEY CAN FIX IT, AND THE PROPOSED "MAYBE" FIXES ARE UPWARDS OF $2000. I CANNOT SAFELY GET TO WORK SOME DAYS AND I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 2 WINTERS - WHEN I WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY THE DEALER TOLD ME FCA HAS NO FIX AND I SHOULD JUST IGNORE IT UNTIL IT WARMS UP. I CANNOT CONTROL THE CLIMATE. THE MOST COMMON WARNING INDICATED ON THE DASH IS "SERVICE OR REPAIR AIR SUSPENSION IMMEDIATELY" WHICH IS RIDICULOUS SINCE I MIGHT BE HUNDREDS OF MILES FROM HOME AND THE DEALER WON'T REPAIR IT ANYWAYS. THE SECOND MOST COMMON WARNING IS THAT THE PAYLOAD HAS BEEN EXCEEDED. THIS WILL COME UP EVEN WITH THE TRUCK EMPTY. EVERYONE I HAVE SPOKEN TO THAT HAS THIS SUSPENSION REPORTS THE SAME SCARY EXPERIENCES AND FCA HAS NOT OFFERED A FIX TO ANY OF THEM. I CANNOT AFFORD TO TRADE IT AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP IT. PLEASE HELP!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT SMELLED FUMES INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE FAILED. IN ADDITION, THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. JACKSONVILLE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM ARLINGTON (9600 ATLANTIC BLVD, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32225, (877) 677-5782) REPAIRED THE TURBO CHARGER. GALEANA CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (14375 S TAMIAMI TRAIL, FORT MYERS, FL 33912, (239) 481-2600) FLUSHED THE ENGINE AND STATED THAT THE WIRE HARNESS WAS NOT CONNECTED PROPERLY AND WAS TO CLOSE TO THE OIL PAN, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE ENGINE TO FAIL. THE FAILURES CONTINUED AFTER THE REPAIRS. THE DEALER HAD NOT RELEASED THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

ENGINE LIGHT ON, DIAGNOSTIC READING: CYLINDER 6 MISFIRE DETECTED. RANDOM/MULTIPLE MISFIRE DETECTED. NUMBER 6 CYLINDER HAS A HIGH COUNT OF NO COMPRESSION. THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON STATIONARY AND IN MOTION.

ENGINE KEEPS OVERHEATING INTERMITTENTLY AND DEALERSHIPS IS NOT ABLE TO FIND THE ISSUE LOOSES COOLANT AND SMELLS LIKE COOLANT WHILE ITS RUNNING AND AFTER JUST GETTING SHUT OFF AFTER DRIVING. I HAVE HAD TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP 14 TIMES NOW AND NOTHING IS GETTING DONE.

I HAVE BEEN TO RAM DEALERS IN LAS VEGAS SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST 16 MONTHS TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE SHIFT INTERLOCK SYSTEM RECALL AND THEY ALWAYS TELL ME THAT THE PART FOR REPLACEMENT IS NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME AND THEY WILL CALL ME WHEN THEY GET THE PART . 2. I HAVEN'T BEEN CALLED OR MAILED A LINK RECALL NOTICE FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM RECALL. I HAVE ALSO HAD MY TRUCK IN THE SHOP FOR AIR BAG SENSORS FAILURE MESSAGES. MOST RECENTLY FEBRUARY 2018 AND THE MESSAGES KEEP REPEATING. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY HAVE REPLACED THE SEAT SENSORS AND WIRING HARNESSES SEVERAL TIMES THE LAST TIME THEY HAD MY TRUCK FOR 4 DAYS WITHOUT FURNISHING A LOAN OR RENTAL CAR. I'M A 100% DISABLED VETERAN AND USE A WHEELCHAIR THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE WITH A WHEELCHAIR LIFT INSTALLED TO LOAD, UNLOAD AND TRANSPORT MY WHEELCHAIR WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?

DODGE RAM STEERING RECALL ALERT- THIS SAME SITUATION HAPPENED TO ME IN MY MODEL 2014 DODGE RAM 1500 BIG HORN. RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED THE NUT HOLDING THE STEERING KNUCKLE AND RIGHT CONTROL ARM SEPARATED WHILE DRIVING. I FELT A HUGE POP AND JERK OF THE STEERING WHEEL. LUCKILY I WAS TRAVELING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED. I TOOK TO SUNCOAST DODGE DEALER IMMEDIATELY, HE SAID I WAS LUCKY I COULD IF I WAS ON THE FREEWAY WHICH I WAS SHORTLY BEFORE. HE SAID HE HAS NEVER SEEN A NUT FALL OFF BEFORE, BUT IT DID AND, COULD ROLLED AND CAUSED SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I WAS CHARGED FOR REPAIR AND PICKED UP TRUCK TODAY 2/5 THEN SAW RECALL FOR THIS EXACT SITUATION RELEASED TODAY BY CHRYSLER FIAT, BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED.

OIL LEAK ORIGINATING FROM REPORTED FAILED FILTER HOUSING ADAPTER (PER DEALER INVESTIGATION) ON PENTASTAR 3.6L V6 ENGINE. SLOW LEAK BEGAN TO OCCUR IMMEDIATELY AFTER PREVIOUS DEALER-PERFORMED OIL CHANGE IN LATE 2018. 2/4/19 REGULAR-INTERVAL DEALER-PERFORMED OIL CHANGE FOUND OIL ALL OVER BOTH SIDES OF ENGINE. TECHNICIAN ADVISED OF REPLACING OIL FILTER HOUSING/OIL COOLER ADAPTER AND ASSOCIATED GASKETS FOR QUOTE OF $995. LEAK OBSERVED ON PERSONAL GARAGE FLOOR, AS WELL AS ALONG DRIVEWAY (WHILE IN MOTION), SINCE PRIOR OIL CHANGE. MULTIPLE INTERNET SEARCHES FIND FAULTS OF THIS EQUIPMENT ACROSS A WIDE VARIANCE OF 2014 3.6L PENTASTAR V6 ENGINES INSTALLED IN VARIOUS FIAT-CHRYSLER AMERICA MODELS.

TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE ON AIR BAG LIGHT ISSUE TO THE DEALER, LAWTON CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM'S TRUCK CENTER LOCATED AT 215 SE INTERSTATE DR., LAWTON, OK 73501. I WAS INFORMED BY AN EMPLOYEE THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS A COMMON ISSUE DUE TO A BAD DESIGN AND A CHEAP PLASTIC WIRING HARNESS LOCATED UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT. ANY SEAT ADJUSTMENTS, LOOSE OBJECTS ROLLING UNDER THE SEAT, OR EVEN A REAR PASSENGERS FOOT COULD POTENTIAL MAKE CONTACT WITH THE HARNESS IN A MANNER THAT BREAKS IT AND MAY TRIGGER THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO COME ON.. INTERSTATE DR. MARTIN OK 73501 I WAS INFORMED BY EMPLOYEE THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS A COMMON ISSUE DUE TO A BAD DESIGN IN THE CHEAP PLASTIC WIRING HARNESS LOCATED UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT IN THE SEAT THAT JUST MEANT LOOSE OBJECTS ROLLING UNDER THE SEAT OR EVEN A REAR PASSENGERS FOOT COULD POTENTIAL MAKE CONTACT WITH THE HARNESS IN A MANNER THAT BREAKS THE PLASTIC PART. THIS WOULD TRIGGER THE AIRBAG LIGHT. MY CONCERN IS, WILL THE AIRBAG FUNCTION PROPERLY IF I'M IN AN ACCIDENT? *DT DODGE ADMITTED IT WAS POOR DESIGN.*JB

ALREADY WROTE THE REVIEW...READ IT

DURING COLD WEATHER IN MINNESOTA, THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILED TO RESPOND CAUSING MY TRUCK TO GO INTO THE DITCH.

MAJOR OIL LEAK ENGINE COOLER. CAUSING OIL TO LEAK WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS GETTING ON THE TIRES. ON WET ROADS THIS HAS CAUSED THE REAR END OF THE TRUCK TO FISHTAIL AT NORMAL DRIVE SPEEDS AROUND CURVES AND TAKE OFFS.

THE TRUCKS AIR RIDE SUSPENSION WILL NOT WORK CORRECTLY IN COLD CONDITIONS ON A HIGHWAY OR IN A STATIONARY POSITION .THE AUTOMATIC AIR SUSPENSION WILL GIVE OUT AND THE TRUCK WILL FEEL LIKE IT IS RIDING ON THE FRAME AND CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE IS COMPROMISED.THE SYSTEM WILL ALSO RETURN BACK TO NORMAL FUNCTIONS WITH WARMER WEATHER.BROUGHT TRUCK TO DEALER AND THEY CLEAR THE FAULT CODES AND SAY AIR SUSPENSION IS WORKING NORMAL.READ A LOT ABOUT OTHER RAM TRUCKS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS.

MY RAM 1500 AIR SUSPENSION HAS FAILED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, LEAVING THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK SAGGING DOWN ON THE RUBBER BUMP STOPS. THIS CONDITION LEAVES ME WITH NO SUSPENSION IN THE FRONT, OFTEN WHEN AWAY FROM HOME. THIS CONDITION HAS LEFT ME ON THE HIGHWAY WITH ADVERSE HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS, SUCH AS SHUDDERING OF THE FRONT END. I HAVE HAD THIS IN THE SHOP AT THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE FIRST TIME FOR OVER A MONTH. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT MANAGER ACKNOWLEDGES A PROBLEM, BUT TOLD ME THERE IS "NO FIX" UNTIL RAM COMES UP WITH ONE. THIS CONDITION ONLY HAPPENS IN BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES AND GOES AWAY WHEN TEMPERATURES RISE. THERE ARE MANY OTHER OWNERS REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM, WITH THE SAME RESPONSES FROM THEIR DEALERS. THIS PROBLEM HAS CREATED A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION FOR ME, PERSONALLY, AND OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THIS HAPPENING WHILE UNDERWAY, WITH ONE WHOLE SIDE OF THEIR VEHICLE DROPPING WHILE UNDERWAY. I'M HOPING THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN TO ME. WHEN WILL FCA BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE? SOON, I HOPE.

I HAD A WATER PUMP FAILURE, CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. A FLATBED TRUCK CAME TO PICK IT UP. AFTER THREE WEEKS IN THE DEALER THEY CALLED ME IT WAS READY FOR PICK UP. I WENT THERE, INSPECTED THE WORK ALL WAS DONE CORRECTLY. WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP MY KEYS, THEY TOLD ME THAT DODGE DOES NOT INCLUDE THE "LIQUIDS" AND THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR THE COOLANT USED, $29.98 THEY CHARGED ME. I WENT TO TALK TO THE MANAGER AND ASKED HIM AND HE SAID THAT DODGE DOES NOT COVER FOR ANY LIQUIDS, IF YOU MAKE AN ENGINE REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY, CUSTOMER PAYS FOR THE OIL AND FILTER, IF A REPAIR IS DONE ON THE AXLE, CUSTOMER HAD TO PAY FOR THE AXLE FLUID, IT IS INCREDIBLE!! GM INCLUDES EVERYTHING. MY TRUCK IS A 2014, BUT ONLY HAS 30K MILES ON IT, FIRST THIS IS NOT SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN AT THIS LOW MILLAGE, AND SECOND IF THE DEALER IS GOING TO DO THE JOB, AFTER HAVING THE TRUCK SITTING IN THEIR YARD FOR THREE WEEKS, THE LEAST YOU COULD DO IS INCLUDE THE COOLANT. DON'T YOU THINK. HOW DOES THE GOVERNMENT ALLOWS THIS? THERE SHOULD BE A LAW PROTECTING THE CUSTOMER FROM THIS KIND OF RIP OFFS. ALMOST THIRTY DOLLAR FOR COOLANT IT IS OUTRAGEOUS.

THE HEAT IS ONLY WORKING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY TRUCK AND IT'S ONLY 5 YEAR OLD WHY AM JUST NOW HAVING THIS PROBLEM EVERY THING IS WORKING PROPERLY BUT THE HEAT

ENGINE KEEPS STALLING RANDOMLY COMING TO A STOP OR IDLING DURING TIMES, WANTS TO TURN OFF WHILE PUTTING IN REVERSE, HAVE HAD A NEW BATTERY PUT IN AND ALTERNATOR HAS CHECKED OUT GOOD THROUGH DODGE THEMSELVES. ISSUES STARTED HAPPENING IN NOVEMBER WHEN THE TEMPERATURES GOT COLD. PURCHASED TRUCK IN JULY 23. HAD AN INTERLOCK SYSTEM PUT IN AND HAD NO ISSUES WITH IT UNTIL WINTER.

THE FACTORY "AIR RIDE" SUSPENSION FAILS IN COLD WEATHER. THE AIR BAGS COMPLETELY DEFLATE, LEAVING THE VEHICLE WITH NO SUSPENSION. LOSING ALL SUSPENSION ABILITY WHILE DRIVING IS A SERIOUS RISK TO LIFE. ENCOUNTERING SMALL POTHOLES OR ICY ROADS WITHOUT SUSPENSION INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD OF WRECKS. THE LOWERING OF THE SUSPENSION CHANGES THE STEERING GEOMETRY REQUIRED TO PROPERLY STEER A VEHICLE ON THE ROADS. CAMBER, CASTER, AND TOE OF THE STEERING GEOMETRY ARE NEGATIVELY EFFECTED AND WILL RESULT IN INCREASED LIKELIHOOD OF WRECKS. I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIPS IN ALASKA AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION DOES NOT FUNCTION HERE BUT CANNOT MAKE REPAIRS. I CALLED DODGE CORPORATE LINE AND THEY ASK ME TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIPS THAT INFORM ME THAT THERE IS NO FIX. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL ON THE RAM 1500 AIR RIDE SUSPENSION AS THIS IS A SERIOUS RISK TO LIFE ALLOWING THESE VEHICLES TO OPERATE IN COLD CLIMATES.

VEHICLE STALLS AND LOSES ALL POWER AND ELECTRICAL, SHIFTING ITSELF INTO PARK WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS DUE TO THE FAULTY TIPM IN CHRYSLER VEHICLES. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING WITH MY WIFE AND CHILDREN ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON MANY OTHER OCCASIONS; THERE IS NO WARNING OR INDICATION THAT IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN, IT JUST HAPPENS. THIS IS UNSAFE AND COULD RESULT IN MULTIPLE FATALITIES. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE DECEMBER 2018. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MAY 2018. AFTER DOING RESEARCH AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE HAVE DONE NOTHING TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. HAD I KNOWN THAT PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE WOULD ENDANGER MY FAMILY, I NEVER WOULD HAVE EVEN CONSIDERED BUYING IT.

I HAVE NOTIFICATIONS OF THESE VARIOUS RECALLS AND HAVE TRIED TO GET THESE CORRECTED OR AT LEAST CHECKED OUT AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY TRUCK. FIRST I WAS TOLD THAT APPOINTMENTS WERE NOW REQUIRED. THEN I WAS ADVISED THAT 1ST COME/1ST SERVED WAS NOW REQUIRED AND FULL SCHEDULES ARE USUAL. NOW I RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTIFICATION. I CARE FOR MY RAM, BUT MY TIME IS ALSO IMPORTANT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR SUSPENSION WAS DROOPING DOWN WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION OR IN A STOPPED POSITION. THE DEALER (BRICKNER'S OF WAUSAU, 2525 GRAND AVE, WAUSAU, WI 54403, (715) 842-4646) STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND A FAILURE, BUT SPECULATED THAT THE COLD WEATHER MAY HAVE CAUSED TO SUSPENSION TO DROOP. THE DEALER SUGGESTED THAT THE CONTACT PARK THE VEHICLE IN A GARAGE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

AIR SUSPENSION FAILS IN COLD WEATHER, SOMETIMES TURNS OFF TRACTION CONTROL AND PROVIDES A ROUGH RIDE IN ICE AND SNOW, MAKING THE VEHICLE LESS SAFE. THIS OCCURS IN ALL TYPES OF DRIVING AND HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT IT.

FUEL SENSOR FAILED AT 61K MILES. ECO MODE NOT AVAILABLE, UNKNOWN AMOUNT OF FUEL IN TANK CREATES A DRIVING HAZARD REGARDING RUNNING OUT OF FUEL.

RADIO AND SCREEN GOES BLANK AND STAYS BLANK FOR A PERIOD OFF TIME (INTERMITTENTLY) WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE. IT EFFECTS THE CLIMATE CONTROL IE: (DEFROSTER AND HEATER CAN'T BE TURNED ON), REAR CAMERA, OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE, DIRECTION, PHONE, RADIO AND THE SEAT WARMERS DON'T WORK. THIS HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY AND IN MOTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD CLAMPS FRACTURED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE WAS FILLED WITH EXHAUST FUMES. SUNSET DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM FIAT (7745 S TAMIAMI TRAIL, SARASOTA, FL 34231, (941) 922-2400) STATED THAT THEY WERE NOT AUTHORIZED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SET OF BOLTS; THEREFORE, THEY ONLY REPLACED THE FRACTURED BOLTS. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO STATED THAT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLACE ALL OF THE BOLTS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE ENGINE REVVED AND THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. ALSO, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY AND THEN DECREASED WITH A KNOCKING NOISE PRESENT. FURTHERMORE, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT TEXAS DODGE (7800 I-40 FRONTAGE RD, AMARILLO, TX 79106, (806) 353-6343) PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V332000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL), BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE FAILURES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND THE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED AGAIN, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 127,000. *DT*JB

WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP, TWICE THE ENGINE HAS STALLED AND TWICE IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO STALL BUT INSTEAD CAME OUT OF GEAR. WHEN IT CAME OUT OF GEAR THE SHIFT KNOB STILL INDICATED "D" BUT THE LIGHT WAS FLASHING AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SAID TO SHIFT INTO PARK AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE

WAS DRIVING MY 2014 RAM 1500 HEMI 5.7 LITER WHEN I GOT ERROR MESSAGE POWER STEERING GUILD MAINTENANCE NEEDED. THE 2014 RAM MODEL HAS NO RESERVOIR SO I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER. THE DELEARSHIP COULDN'T CLEAR MESSAGE NOW SAYING WHOLE PART RAC AND PIN NEED TO BE FIXED. THE TRUCK WAS RUNNING FINE NO ISSUES ALL OF SUDDEN GOT MESSAGE AND COULDN'T TURN STEERING WHEEL. I READ SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM 2015 RAM 1500 PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2014 MODEL. I WOULD UPLOAD DOCS. BUT THE DEALER HAS MY TRUCK.

THE RAM 1500, 2014, THAT I CURRENTLY DRIVE HAS TERRIBLE HEADLIGHTS. AS THE TRUCK HAS GOTTEN A LITTLE OLDER THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE GOTTEN MUCH WORSE. THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN TERRIBLE SINCE DAY ONE. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO HAVE THE HEADLIGHTS PROFESSIONALLY BUFFED OUT, AND I HAVE CHANGED ALL FOUR BULBS WITH THE BEST BULBS I CAN FIND. ALMOST NO DIFFERENCE. THE TRUCK IS A DANGER TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I CANT SEE AT ALL. I AM SURE PEOPLE HAVE TROUBLE SEEING ME AS WELL.

LAST NIGHT I PARKED MY TRUCK IN MY DRIVEWAY LIKE I BEEN DOING SINCE I HAD THE TRUCK WHICH I BOUGHT NEW AND LAST NIGHT I PARKED LIKE I USUALLY DO AND THIS MORNING I WAS INFORMED THAT MY TRUCK HAS ROLLED OUT OUT THE SPOT WHERE I LEFT IT TO THE EDGE OF THE STREET WHILE STILL IN PARK. IT COULD HAVE BACKED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE OR EVEN WORSE A KID
