2014 Ram 1500 complaints

PARKING SENSORS GO OFF WITH NOTHING IN FRONT, WHEN WET. THERE WAS A STAR CLASS ON THIS. THEY EXCHANGED THE SENSORS LEFT TO RIGHT. THE ISSUE FOLLOWED THE SENSORS. DEALER WANTS TO HAVE THE VEHICLE WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURS, AS THEY CAN NOT REPLICATE IN SHOP. WHEN IT HAPPENS, I CAN'T GET TO SHOP. HAS BEEN IN SHOP MULTIPLE TIMES. NOW VEHICLE IS OUT OF REGULAR WARRANTY, BUT STILL ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED.

MAJOR OIL LEAK STARTED AT JUST UNDER 100K MILES ON THE TRUCK. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE FOR KNOWN ISSUES, WITCH I FOUND ONE ON CHRYSLER 3.6 MOTORS YEAR MODEL 2014 WITCH WAS OILCOOLER/HOUSING CRACKING. THIS IS THE ENGINE MY TRUCK HAS AS WELL. AFTER THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED THE TRUCK OVER THIS WAS THE EXACT ISSUE WITH THE TRUCK. THE OIL LEAK IS LOCATED ON TOP OF THE ENGINE BETWEEN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND ENGINE BLOCK AND RUNS DOWN BACK OF ENGINE TO BOTTOM OF TRUCK. WITH THE AMOUNT OF ISSUES I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIND IN A MATTER OF MINUTES OF SEARCHING AND AFTER BEING TOLD THAT THAT PART HAD BEEN REDESIGNED BY THE DEALERSHIP I THINK THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO.

TAKATA RECALL ACTIVE RECALL - DATED DECEMBER 20, 2017 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 17V-821 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER T79 NOTHING HAS HAPPENED AS OF YET EXCEPT THE GREAT CONCERN OF A SAFETY RISK NOT BEING RESOLVED! DEALER HAS NOT RECEIVED OR HEARD ANYTHING FROM THE MANUFACTURER IN REGARD TO A REPAIR FOR THE VEHICLES INVOLVED. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!

THE AIR SUSPENSION FREEZES UP WHEN IT GETS BELOW ZERO. I DO A LOT OF ICE FISHING, THE REASON I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK, AND I'VE HAD TO DRIVE WITH VARIOUS CORNERS OF THE VEHICLE HAVING NO SUSPENSION. ONE TIME, IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 75MPH, THE WHOLE FRONT END DROPPED TO THE FRAME AND I ALMOST CRASHED BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON RIGHT AWAY. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK A YEAR AGO. TO DATE IT'S BEEN IN THE SHOP 5 TIMES AND THE COMPRESSOR FINALLY BURNT OUT.

THE VEHICLE DEFAULTS TO THE ENTRY/EXIT MODE IN THE AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM IN COLD WEATHER AND IS UNDRIVABLE. DODGE IS AWAY OF THE ISSUE AND TO FIX THE PROBLEM YOU HAVE TO PURCHASE A NEW AIR SUSPENSION CONTROL MODULE FOR $1100. IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT IS A FACTORY DEFECT WHY ISN'T THIS A RECALL?

EVERY YEAR THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON. THE WIRE IN OR AROUND THE DRIVE SEAT GET CHAFFED. I AM FORCED TO PAY FOR THE SAME REPAIR OVER AND OVER.

VEHICLE HAS DIAL KNOB SHIFTER IT POPS OUT OF GEAR WHILE GOING DOWN ROAD HAS A FEW TIMES WILL SHIFT TO P .. NO POLICE REPORT REQUIRED THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT THE TIMES IT OCCURRED ONE TIME I WAS OUT OF VEHICLE IT WAS IN PARK AND SHIFTED IN TO DRIVE. I HAD 2 WITNESSES TO THIS EVENT .MULTIPLE DATES AND DATES ARE ESTIMATED

DRIVER HEADING DOWN HILL USED THE + AND - INDICATORS TO MANUALLY PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO 3RD GEAR. GOING APPROXIMATELY 60/70 MPH HEARD THE TRANSMISSION SLIP INTO 2ND GEAR AND THE RPM'S BEGAN TO INCREASE. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE THROUGH THE MANUAL BREAKING OF THE DRIVER. THE DRIVER TOOK THE NEXT EXIT PLACING THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL WHEN A TRANSMISSION SENSOR FLASHED. STILL WITH NO GAS THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. THE DRIVER WHO WAS ABLE TO PLACE THE VEHICLE INTO PARK OFF THE EXIT TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND WHEN TURNING BACK ON ENGINE CONTINUED THROTTLE AS IF IN FULL ACCELERATION. VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND TOWED TO VISTA AUTOGROUP IN SILVERTHORNE, CO. VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FINDING A FAULTY ACCELERATION PEDAL SENSOR.

BRAKES ARE NOT NEEDED TO SHIFT VEHICLE INTO DRIVE REVERSE ETC. THIS CAN BE DONE WHEN YOU DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR THE FIRST TIME DURING THE DAY. KEY IS ALSO NO NECESSARY TO 0LACE VEHICLE INTO GEAR!

WHEN IT IS COLD AND RAINING, AND THE TRUCK REAXHED 55 MPH, THE TRUCK WILL JERK HARD AND THE ABS LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL COME ON AND STAY ON. THE DASH WILL LIGHT UP WITH THE MESSAGE, "ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM SERVICE NEEDED" AND "4WD TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE."

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH IN A 70MPH ZONE IN THE RAIN. TRUCK HYDROPLANE AND I SPUN ACROSS THE HIGHWAY AND IMPACTED A CEMENT WALL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE SEAT AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY RESULTING IN ME HITTING THE DOOR, CAUSING BRUISING TO MY RIBS AND SHOULDER ON MY LEFT SIDE.

ON 11/22/17 AT AROUND 5PM DRIVING EAST BOUND ON I-76 IN PENNSYLVANIA OUR 2014 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL ENGINE CAUGHT ON FIRE. AS I TRIED TO STOP I REALIZED I HAD NO BRAKES. WE SLOWED TO A STOP AS WE STARTED UP A HILL, I PUT IT IN PARK AND WE ALL GOT OUT JUST IN TIME. A CERTIFIED CHRYSLER MECHANIC HAD JUST 2 DAYS EARLIER FINISHED INSTALLING A NEW ENGINE. BOTH THE DEALERSHIP & CHRYSLER HAVE DENIED ALL OWNERSHIP AND NO ROOT CAUSE EVALUATION HAS BEEN COMPLETED. I BELIEVE A FUEL LINE FAILED DUE TO FAULTY WORKMANSHIP, BUT WITHOUT A THIRD PARTY INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION I GUESS WE WILL NEVER KNOW AND SOME OTHER CUSTOMER MAY EXPERIENCE THE SAME THING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SOUTHLAND DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP LOCATED AT 6161 W PARK AVE, HOUMA, LA 70364, PHONE NUMBER: (985) 465-4394 PRIOR WHERE IT WAS SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V302000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500 CARGO VAN (NA). THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON UNLATCHING THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT, THE BUCKLE FRACTURED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO OURISMAN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF BOWIE (2406 CRAIN HWY, BOWIE, MD 20716 (855) 822-3228), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 46,000.

INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS BLINKING ON AND OFF WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION

4 SEPARATE TIMES NOW, LOST MY HEADLIGHTS WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. INFORMATION CENTER SHOWED LOW BEAMS AND HIGH BEAMS OUT, ALL I HAD WAS MARKER LIGHTS AND FOG LIGHTS. AFTER SITTING FOR A FEW MINUTES, THINKING WHAT WAS GOING ON, THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. EACH INSTANCE HAPPENED AT NIGHT, WHILE DRIVING, AFTER DARK, AND TWICE ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON -THE DEALAR THE BAG NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND I DID NOTHING TOCOUSEIT

DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY CAME UPON ANOTHER VEHICLE DOING 40MPH DECIDE TO PASS THIS DRIVER. AS I PASSED THE DRIVER AT ABOUT 60MPH WHEN I LET UP ON THE GAS PEDAL IT WENT TO THE FLOOR ON ITS OWN AND EXCELERATED TO 95 MPH I WAS ON THE BRAKE TO TRY AND SLOW THE VEHICLE AND AFTER ABOUT 5-10 SECONDS THE GAS PEDAL RETURNED TO THE NORMAL POSITION AND VEHICLE THEN SLOWED DOWN. A LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH AND ACCORDING TO THE USER GUIDE THE LIGHT IS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT. IN THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM IT STATES THAT "YOU MAY EXPERIENCE REDUCED PERFORMANCE, AN ELEVATED/ROUGH IDLE" IT SEEMS THAT RAM ALREADY KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THE ELEVATED IDLE THE BOOK JUST DOESNT STATE THAT THE ELEVATED IDLE CAN INCREASE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN OR IN DRIVE

MY TRUCK HAS A ROTARY SWITCH USED TO SWITCH BETWEEN PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL AND DRIVE. MY VEHICLE WAS RUNNING AND I WAS IN DRIVE. I STOPPED AND TURNED THE SWITCH THREE PLACES TO THE LEFT. THIS PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. I LEFT THE ENGINE RUNNING. I EXITED THE VEHICLE AND LEFT THE DRIVER DOOR OPEN. I LEANED OVER TO LOOK AT SOMETHING AND WHEN I TURNED AROUND THE TRUCK WAS ROLLING BACKWARDS. I RAN AFTER THE TRUCK BUT COULD NOT CATCH IT AND IT CRASHED INTO ANOTHER TRUCK THAT I OWN. MY TRUCK CAME TO A STOP AND WHEN I GOT BACK INTO THE VEHICLE IT WAS IN REVERSE. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS INJURED BUT MY TRUCK SUFFERED MODERATE DAMAGE. THIS ALL OCCURRED ON PRIVATE PROPERTY SO THERE WAS NO POLICE REPORT FILED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. UPON ATTEMPTING TO FASTEN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT, THE SEAT BELT FAILED TO FASTEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROCKY TOP CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE (3315 WINFIELD DUNN PKWY, KODAK, TN 37764). THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED, BUT THE DEALER ADDED OIL TO THE SEAT BELT AND LATER AGREED TO REPLACE THE SEAT BELT AND BUCKLE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT YET BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

AUGUST, 2017 PARKED MY 2014 RAM ON SIDE STREET TO PUT OUT YARD SALE SIGN WHEN I RETURNED TO TRUCK IT WAS NOT THERE , LOOKING AROUND SAW THE RAM UNDER A BIG PINE TREE UPON OPENING DOOR I SAW MY TRUCK WAS STILL IN PARK. THANK GOODNESS ONLY HAD HOOD DAMAGE.

VEHICLE RECENTLY PASSED 3YR/36K WARRANTY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND "FUEL LEVEL SENSOR" FAILURE CODE INTERMITTENTLY FLASH ON AND OFF AGAIN. WHEN ACTIVE, I LOSE ALL FUEL GAUGE FUEL LEVEL INDICATION. I NOTE THAT THERE ARE OTHER NHTSA COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND SEE MANY ONLINE FORUM DISCUSSIONS ABUT THIS. THE FUEL SENSOR FAILURE COMES ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE WARNING IS DISTRACTING TO NORMAL DRIVING, AS IT TAKES YOUR ATTENTION OFF THE ROAD TO CHECK AND SEE WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE VEHICLE, NOT KNOWING IF THIS IS A NEW FAILURE, A TIRE PRESSURE ISSUE, OR SOMETHING ELSE. I WOULD LIKE NHTSA TO LOOK AND SEE IF THIS IS A BROADER ISSUE THAT NEEDS A RECALL / MANUFACTURER REPAIR.

VEHICLE WAS RECALLED. ODESSA DODGE (MANAGER LARRY HOOK) HAD THE VEHICLE 7 TIMES AND COULDNT' FIX IT-ORIGINALLY STARTED WITHIN WARRANTY. WARRANTY IS NOW EXPIRED AND ODESSA DODGE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX SO THEY SENT ME TO MONAHANS DODGE AND DODGE CORPORATE WILL PAY FOR IT. MONAHANS DODGE SAID THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ARRANGEMENT. DODGE CORPORATE SAYS "WAIT AND SEE". AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. WAAAAAAY TOO MANY DOCUMENTS TO SUBMIT ONLINE-PROBABLY CLOSE TO 100 PAGES. ALSO HAVE PICTURE OF DIAGNOSIS FROM DEALERSHIP, SAY THEY WANT ME TO PAY $249 FOR ANOTHER DIAGNOSIS.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SMELLED BURNING, ANOTHER CAR PULLED ALONG SIDE AND YELLED "YOU ARE ON FIRE" AFTER STOPPING THE TRUCK I WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES UNDER THE ENGINE BY APPLYING DRY POWDER FIRE EXTINGISHER INTO THE OPEN HOOD. LATER INVESTIGATION BY A CHRYLSER HIRED INVESTIGATOR INDICATED THE STARTER CABLE SHORT CIRCUITED TO A SHARP BRACKET ATTACHED TO THE FRAME CAUSING THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS TO CATCH FIRE. IN MY OPINION CHRYLSER IS DRAGGING THEIR FEET IN AUTHORIZING A WARRANTY REPAIR

VEHICLE PANEL LIGHTS STAYING ON WITHOUT KEY IN VEHICLE DRAINING BATTERY. HAS BEEN TO DEALER 4 TIMES FOR SAME ISSUE. TODAY, VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 13 MPH, AFTER PULLING OUT ONTO MAIN STREET FROM HOME. WAS ABLE TO TURN AROUND & RETURN HOME SAFELY, NOW VEHICLE AT DEALER FOR 5TH TIME FOR THIS NEW ISSUE PLUS DEAD BATTERY FROM PANEL LIGHTS.

BOLT HOLDING SEAT TO FLOORBOARD BROKEN, MAKING SEAT UNSTABLE. ATTEMPTS TO HAVE DEALER REPAIR TOLD BOLTS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. SPOKE TO OTHER RAM OWNERS WITH SAME PROBLEM BROKEN BOLT HOLDING SEAT SECURE.

AFTER CAR WASH OR RAIN AREA UNDER REAR SEAT HAS WATER IN IT I HAVE REMOVED REAR SEAT AND REAR CAB LINER AND FOUND THAT THE EXHAUSTER-BODYSIDE APERTURE - MOPAR (68157351AD) I HAVE CALLED FCI MORE THEN 1 TIME AND NOTHING . THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED FROM 6 MONTHS OF ME OWNING THE TRUCK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE ENTERED INTO BRAKING MODE AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO RAPIDLY ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (LITHIA CHRYSLER DODGE RAM FIAT OF SPOKANE, 10701 NORTH NEWPORT HIGHWAY SPOKANE, WA 99218, PHONE (509) 381-7460) SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURE, BUT THE DIAGNOSTIC COULD NOT RENDER A FAILURE CODE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PERFORMING NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000. ..UPDATED 10/18/17*BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE FAILURE OCCURS WHILE ON STEEP HILLS AND/OR IN 2ND GEAR. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED SIGNIFICANTLY WITHOUT COMMAND. UPDATED 10/25/2017*JS

TRUCK LOST ALL ABS BREAK CONTROLS, SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING AND VEHICLE BECAME STUCK IN PARK. THE ABS MODULE AND ABS MOTOR WERE SATURATED IN WATER. FOUND RECALL ON DODGE JOURNEY WHICH MATCHES MY ISSUE. SEEMS LIKE RAM NEEDS TO LOOK INTO ISSUE. TRUCK HAS 44246 MILES

I TOOK MY 2014 DODGE RAM 1500 2WD CREW CAB INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR OIL CHANGE. PREVIOUSLY I HAD COMPLAINED ABOUT A POPPING AND CLICKING NOISE IN THE FRONT END WHEN I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL. THE NOISE CAME FROM THE FRONT WHEELS. I MENTIONED THIS TODAY AT MY SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE AND THEY CHECKED FOR A PROBLEM ONCE AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY FOUND THAT THE DRIVER SIDE CONTROL ARM BOLT (1 OF 2) WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY OUT. THE NUT THAT IS SUPPOSED TO HOLD IT IN PLACE IS GONE. PICTURE ATTACHED. NOT RELATED BUT JUST AS BAD WAS A PASSENGER SIDE BALL JOINT BOOT THAT WAS CRACKED AND LEAKING, CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO REPLACE THAT BALL JOINT. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW AND HAVE NEVER WRECKED IT OR HAD ANY REASON TO REMOVE THE FRONT SUSPENSION ARMS. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY DEFECT(S) AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A BAD ACCIDENT. MOST OF MY TIME IS SPENT IN THE TRUCK AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS I HAVE A JOB THAT INVOLVES A LOT OF TIME ON THE ROAD. THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM STARTED BEFORE THE TRUCK HAD 50K MILES. THE PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED BY A TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALERSHIP TODAY ON 8/29/17, WHILE THE TRUCK HAS APPROXIMATELY 88K MILES ON THE ODOMETER.

I HAVE A RECURRING ISSUE WITH RODENTS CHEWING THROUGH THE FUEL LINE ON MY 2014 RAM 1500. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SINCE DECEMBER, 2016 AND IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF. THE FUEL LINE, ACCORDING TO MULTIPLE TECHS AND REPRESENTATIVES WHO HAVE WORKED ON MY TRUCK, HAS CONNECTIONS MADE OF A "SOY-BASED" PRODUCT WHICH IS ATTRACTIVE TO RODENTS. WHEN THE LINES GET CHEWED THROUGH, THE FUEL BEGINS TO LEAK VERY QUICKLY WHILE I HAVE BEEN IN MOTION ON PUBLIC STREETS. ONE OF THE THREE TIMES, MY REAR TIRES ACTUALLY LOST TRACTION COMPLETELY CAUSING ME TO BRIEFLY LOSE CONTROL OF MY TRUCK. THE AMOUNT OF FUEL THAT LEAKS IS SIGNIFICANT, USUALLY EMPTYING MY TANK FROM NEARLY FULL TO EMPTY IN SECONDS. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPOND BEFORE THE TRUCK COULD BE TOWED DUE TO THE SIGNIFICANT FIRE HAZARD THIS POSSES. IF THERE WERE TO BE AN IGNITION SOURCE OF ANY KIND, THE TRUCK WOULD CATCH FIRE AND POSSIBLY CAUSE SIGNIFICANT HARM TO MYSELF OR OTHERS. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO CHRYSLER/RAM'S ATTENTION AND THEY HAVE MADE NO EFFORT TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED, ALTHOUGH THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE DANGER INVOLVED WITH THIS PROBLEM. THE REPS I HAVE DEALT WITH EXPLAINED THAT THIS FUEL LINE IS MADE WITH SOY TO MAKE THE PART "ECO-FRIENDLY". THE REPAIR IS COSTLY AND, ACCORDING TO THE REPAIRING DEALERSHIP, CAN ONLY BE MADE USING THE SAME FLAWED "SOY-BASED" FUEL LINES. I HAVE ATTACHED PICTURES SHOWING THE CHEWED CONNECTIONS AS WELL AS INVOICES FOR THE THREE REPAIRS I HAVE HAD MADE. OTHE

DRIVING ALONG AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE "THROTTLE CONTROL SENSOR" LIGHT COMES ON FOR A QUICK SECOND, THEN GOES OFF, AND "ENGINGE LIGHT" GOES ON. WITHING SECONDS, THE TRUCK LOSES POWER, GIVING YOU LITTLE TO NO TIME TO PREPARE AND REACT. IT HAS HAPPENED IN L.A. ON FRWY WITH LOADS OF TRAFFIC, IT'S SO DANGEROUS TRYING TO GET OVER TO THE SIDE WITHOUT BEING KILLED! IT HAS HAPPENED 2 TIIMES WHILE IN TOW MODE PULLING TRAILERS, AGAIN SO DANGEROUS WHEN SUDDENLY YOU HAVE NO POWER. ONCE WHILE PULLING HORSES IN THE TRAILER, ON AN UP-HILL, WITH CARS BEHIND ME AND NO WHERE TO PULL OVER (NO SHOULDER). SO UNSAFE, I WAS BADLY SHAKEN OVER THAT ONE WITH MY HORSES IN TOW. SO THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES TO US, DODGE HAS HAD IN SHOP 4 TIMES AND CANNOT FIX. IT IS TERRIFING TO BE GOING ALONG AND HAVE YOUR POWER CUT IN A MOMENTS TIME, AND BE IN "LIMP MODE". WE CAN NO LONGER TRUST THIS TRUCK. SO DANGEROUS

2014 DODGE RAM 1500. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION AND STEERING WHEEL WIRE HARNESS RECALL REPAIRS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO 3 VEHICLES. UPDATED 08/7/2017*JS

MY TRUCKS 'SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL' LIGHT (LIGHTNING BOLT) COMES ON BOTH WHEN STARTING MY VEHICLE AND WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE. WHEN IT COMES ON WHEN I TRY TO START THE TRUCK, IT WONT CHANGE OUT OF THE GEAR IT IS IN (IE I CANT GO FASTER THAN 15-18MPH). IT SOMETIMES GOES OFF IF I TURN THE ENGINE ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES. THE MORE DANGEROUS TIMING OF IT IS WHEN THE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE I'M DRIVING.THIS EITHER CAUSES ME TO DOWNSHIFT INTO A LOWER GEAR WHICH THROWS ME FORWARD AND REVS THE ENGINE IN EXCESS OF 3000RPM, OR WHILE I AM STOPPED, THE RPMS CLIMB WITHOUT ANY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. IF I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE WHILE THIS HAPPENS, I ACCELERATE FORWARD EITHER UP TO 18MPH OR 30MPH DEPENDING WHICH GEAR IT IS 'STUCK' IN. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO ONE LOCAL RAM DEALER 6 TIMES REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE. THE DID FLASH UPDATES, REPLACED ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR, BRAKE SENSOR, REPAIRED CONNECTOR FOR THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR, AND REPLACED THROTTLE BODY (ALL OF WHICH AT THE TIME, THEY SAID EACH INDIVIDUAL COMPONENT WAS THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM). I HAVE TAKEN IT TO ANOTHER LOCAL RAM DEALER, AND THEY ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT WITH 4 AND A HALF HOURS OF DIAGNOSTIC TIME. THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AND REPLACED A CABLE/CONNECTOR AND LOW AND BEHOLD, THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR SO, SO MANY REASONS. I NOTE THAT NOT ONLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAVE COME ON, BUT THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, ABS LIGHT, SERVICE 4WD LIGHT, ! TEMP LIGHT, CHECK BRAKE LIGHT, AND OF C

2014 RAN 1500 TRADESMAN BLACKED OUT EDITION. AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE AND PUTTING IN PARK TO CHECK OTHER CONCERNS WHEN RUNNING 40MPH THE TRUCK SHAKES AND SOUNDS LIKE MISFIRE, AFTER STEPPING OUT OF TRUCK IT BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS AND PUSHED ME DOWN. AFTER GETTING BACK UP THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO ROLL DOWN THE HILL AND RAN OVER MY ANKLE AND FOOT. BEFORE CRASHING INTO A CONCRETE WALL. SINCE THEN I HAVE USED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WHEN PARKING AND THE TRUCK WAS REPAIRED BY INSURANCE. 8,000 DOLLARS OF DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK AND MY RIGHT FOOT IS STILL HEALING AFTER 2 MONTHS. DASH SHOWED TRUCK IN PARK AND LEVER WAS COMPLETELY UP. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME IT HAPPENED, AND I GOT LUCKY THE TRUCK DIDN'T RUN OVER MY CHEST OR HEAD. THE FIRST TIME THE TRUCK DIDN'T STAY IN PARK WAS PROBABLY ABOUT 7 MONTHS AGO, I PLACED TRUCK IN PARK AND BEGAN TO GET OUT WHEN THE TRUCK WAS STILL ROLLING FORWARD. I HAD TO PUSH ON BRAKES AND REMOVE FROM PARK AND PUT BACK INTO PARK FOR IT TO WORK. INTERMITTENT PARK POSITION IS A VERY BAD THING TO BE INTERMITTENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD, THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING. THE DRIVER PLACED THE GEAR SHIFTER INTO REVERSE AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AT A HIGH SPEED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE VEHICLE WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. AS A RESULT, THE REAR BUMPER STRUCK A CONCRETE WALL IN THE PARKING LOT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ABRA BODY SHOP IN FOREST LAKE, MN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000. UPDATED 10/24/17*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE PASSENGER SUFFERED A CONCUSSION AND BRUISING. *JS

WAS DRIVING MY 2014 RAM TRUCK DOWN THE ON RAMP TO RT 104 WHEN THE REAR TIRE EXPLODED. IT WAS A GOODYEAR WRANGLER P275 / 60R20 WITH APPROX 20K MILES ON THEM.ALWAYS ROTATED ON EACH OIL CHANGE. LUCKY I WAS NOT UP TO SPEED WHEN IT BLEW. I HAVE ENCLOSED A PICTURE WHICH SHOWS THE DAMAGE AROUND THE OUTER SIDE WALL FROM THE EXPLOSION.

STARTING TO BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, I STOPPED AND THOUGHT I HAD SHIFTED THE ROTARY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION KNOB TO THE PARK POSITION TO GO INTO THE HOUSE AND RETRIEVE AN ITEM BEFORE CONTINUING. APPARENTLY, I DID NOT GET THE KNOB CORRECTLY IN TEH PARK POSITION, AS I STARTED EXITING THE VEHICLE WITH THE DOOR OPEN, THE TRANSMISSION WAS STILL IN REVERSE AND STARTED ROLLING BACKWARD. I RE-ENTERED THE VEHICLE TO APPLY THE BRAKE, BUT NOT UNTIL THE OPENED TRUCK DOOR HAD COLLIDED WITH MY GARAGE WALL, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK DOOR AND THE GARAGE WALL. I FELT FORTUNATE THAT I WAS NOT PINNED BETWEEN THE DOOR AND THE GARAGE WALL BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK IN THE VEHICLE. THE KNOB SHIFT CONTROL IS NOT VERY INTUITIVE AND I BELIEVE CAN LEAD MORE FREQUENTLY TO DRIVER ERROR. IT WAS ALSO SURPRISING TO ME HOW MUCH ACCELERATION AND FORCE OCCURRED WITHOUT APPLYING ANY PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL.

SHIFTER KNOB HAS SLIPPED OR CHANGED GEARS WHILE MOVING OR STANDING IDLE. OTHER TIMES IT WILL NOT SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR IE: REVERSE. ALSO DASH LIGHTS FLICKER AT TIMES, AND AT TIMES WILL NOT TURN OFF PARKING LIGHTS KILLING THE BATTERY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST 2 MONTHS.
