2014 Ram 1500 complaints

I was driving around 35 mph, the steering wheels suddenly have no power, really tight and hard to turn with no symptoms before and no light on dash, this was very dangerous if I was driving on the highway. Second thing is the famous "Hemi tick" happened on my truck, everyone have the Ram truck have exactly same issue but I really do not know why this issue still not have any recall yet. Please recall and make your product better and safer for your royal customer, please and please.

ABS Module … same as 100’s of other Dodge Ram 1500 Trucks! My 2014 is sitting the dealership rotten because there is no part available anymore or anywhere! Have a warranty which is useless and no help from Dodge or dealerships anywhere it’s so sad and pathetic that a USA made Truck isn’t worth anything but scrap! Why are they aloud to get away with not fixing issues with Ram Trucks! No Recall no actions taking and people just sitting on there hands waiting for any glimpse of hope to fix there trucks! Shame on Dodge and will never buy a Dodge, Jeep or Chrysler vehicle. Your service departments your representatives all throw up their hands and say oh it’s Dodge. You should just get rid of it. …. that’s really sad.

Ref Investigation Number: RQ 23-003 Intermittent / Comp Loss of Power Steering I EXPERINCED A COMPLETE STEERING RACK SYSTEM FAILURE ON MY 2014 RAM SPORT. COULD NOT DRIVE VEHICLE. $4000 REPAIR BILL TO GET IT BACK ON THE ROAD.

The abs module has an internal short, yes. The abs, traction control, and trailer brakes stopped working as a result. Yes. No. The failure happed abruptly and only showed warning lights after the part failed. The failure appeared while driving resulting in reduced braking and some skidding.

Odometer Fraud. The contact considered purchasing a 2014 Ram 1500 from a local dealer, with an odometer reading of 138,000. The contact stated that after obtaining a Carfax Report for the vehicle, the contact became aware that the odometer reading was listed at 251,000 in 2023. The vehicle was not purchased. The dealer was not yet notified of the mileage discrepancy.

ABS module internal electrical failure. Causes traction control, antilock brakes, and trailer brakes to fail. Brakes could lose power and cause a collision. Parts are unavailable new. No remedy available from manufacturer.

Electric power steering system is faulty very dangerous I could’ve been in a accident the eps systems on these trucks go out with no warning I know of this happening to numerous of these trucks ranging from 2013-2019 models with only a few with a recall they need to recall all these trucks for this issue

Took truck to dealership, 2014 Ram 1500. They found front fuel tank strap has rusted out of its “T” hock position. Similar to the issue with 2008-2012 Rams. Very dangerous. Cannot drive in this condition

As many other dodge ram owners are also experiencing anti lock brake control module internal electronic failure. Abs, traction control, and brake warning lights are all on on the dash so abs and traction control are disabled the 4 wheel drive won't function due to this either. Abs has fault code c2200-49 diagnosed at a local facility with fix finder diagnostic and doesn't seem to be any available control module replacements to even repair it. This truck is useless on the icy road at this time and dangerous for everyone's safety on the road under normal driving conditions without all of these safety features working as they should. There should be parts available at least if not a recall or maybe even customer pays for the part and dealership programs new part for free! The anti lock brake control modules are faulty on way to many generations of dodge ram vehicles for dodge not to recall all faulty abs control modules on all year models, please help with this issue THANKS in advance

I'm sure this is not the first complaint you all have received, and this is not my first attempt at reaching out. My 2014 Laramie Longhorn power steering light comes on when the truck is started, and once the vehicle warms up the light goes out. This has been an issue with the electric power steering in this particular year model. I am unsure why another investigation and or recall have not been opened up yet, but this is definitely a safety concern for my family and others on the roadway. I would love to see this issue taken care of and open up another recall.

2014 Ram 1500 lost power-steering while driving

Question 1: Vehicle has experienced a total loss of power steering, a known issue on these trucks that is actively under an NHTSA ODI investigation. This report should be added to ODI investigation number RQ 23-003 as an identical example of the issue. Problem began at around 70,000 miles and gradually became worse until power steering control was completely non functional. Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Question 2: Vehicle is incredibly difficult to control in turns. Requires a level of strength that the average driver does not possess, and if they do, operation of the vehicle is still extremely physically difficult. Question 3: Problem has been confirmed by multiple independent service centers. Question 4: Component has NOT been inspected by manufacturer, police, insurance representative. Component HAS been inspected by service center technicians and quoted for replacement at over $4,000. Question 5: Warning lamp indicating steering problem is always illuminated in the vehicle. Warning lamp initially appeared during the first failure, which occurred while operating the vehicle at highway speed.

My ABS module failed and the replacement part is no longer manufactured.

Fuel tank strap fell out of the holding slot and came the strap came into contact with drive shaft cutting the rear driveshaft into. causing it to drop and slinging it self under the truck till I got stoped driving down the road this could have caused a gas leak and sparks igniting the fuel or the back half of the drive shaft could had dug into the road causing the lost of control or flipping the truck

The magnetic material on the tone wheel detached causing a crank position sensor error code (P0336) and subsequent misfire while accelerating into traffic. The software had been updated per recall W58 (NHSTA 20V-475). Vehicle could be restarted but lacked full power. The vehicle is out of warranty, however, Stellantis directed that a dealer make repairs, customer pays out of pocket ($3200), and claim be submitted for reimbursement. Stellantis promptly denied the claim, despite correspondence in writing and recorded customer service phone call. A BBB complaint has been filed against Stellantis.

Have contacted Ram and this is a known problem that they do not want to repair the damage caused by the strap the drive shaft could had dug into the pavement cousin the truck to crash or bust the fuel tank and creating the tank to explode causing serious injury or death

Intermittent power steering loss. Can go for a couple of days and problem reoccurs. Cannot drive vehicle safely anymore. After re-start, power steering returns. Will fail again randomly.

The power steering system failed & is causing safety issues.

I bought the truck from a private owner and now my abs light and brake light is on.

The abs system is bad. I have 150000 on the truck. They are doing recalls on this system. But don't go back to 2014. There are other people having same issue. It's ashame that Dodge don't want to fix it. I'm on disability and it's a shame that a company can do this when you pay so much for a vehicle.

My electric rack and pinion went out

Complete steering gear failure while driving. Son was driving truck and "steering wheel" icon warning light came on with loss of power steering. Was able to drive home without power assistance and I checked fuses and such to no avail. Did some online research and found quite a few issues related to steering gear failures. No one was hurt but definitely severe safety issue potential.

Steering wheel locked during a slight left hand curve and drove into the oncoming traffic! Thank God the oncoming traffic was far enough away to stop before hitting me head on! Upon researching this, it appears to be an ongoing issue and owners are forced to buy a complete rack and pinion set up of which are very limited in availability! An electronic EPS with no available electronic board 🤷‍♂️ Ever heard of right to repair but beyond that had oncoming traffic not been aware there could have been a major head on collision with serious injuries or even someone DEAD!

The ABS module (anti-lock brake module) has stopped working. My abs light, parking brake light, and traction control light stay on all the time and my anti-lock brakes are not working. This is SO common with 3rd generation Ram 1500’s (2013-2018) and I don’t understand why the abs module has not been recalled yet? The cost to replace the abs module is extremely expensive and if it a poorly designed part that will fail, Mopar should recall the part and replace it.

We have a 2014 dodge ram 1500 SLT with a 5.7 hemi. I was driving down the road and stopped at a red light and the truck shut off and wouldn't start again we had to tow it home. We had a mechanic look at the vehicle and run the codes for the truck to find out what was wrong it was a misfire in cylinder 3. We called a few mechanic shops in town to get other opinions and they all said the same thing its more than likely the lifters or the camshaft is bad and its a very common problem with this model truck with the engine and it would cost over $5,000 to fix it. I spoke to the dodge dealership in our town they said the same thing its more than likely the lifters they see it all the time and its around $5,000 plus to fix. Why is this allowed to happen if so many people are having this specific issue with this specific truck and this specific problem with the engine and cost us thousands to fix. This is a major safety issue what if the engine stopped while I was driving this could cause an accident. If you look it up online as well everyone is saying the same thing their problem was with the lifters. We haven't been able to get it fixed because of the cost and the cost to tow it to a mechanic. We just have it sitting in our driveway and when I found out so many others have this same issue something needs to be done.

The ABS Module, part 68228991AD in the 2014 Ram 1500 has failed on my truck and in a large number of vehicles i have found on Ram Truck forums. The failure of this part is impacting multiple systems in my truck and and has made those systems inoperable including ABS, stability control, trailer brake control, cruise control, and potentially others. I don't understand why a recall for this problem has not been issued. To add, the parts have been completely unavailable from Mopar or any supplier. I've had this problem since June 2025 and no part availability anywhere and my son has been driving the vehicle because we have no other choice but to drive this vehicle. Please advise soonest about what can be done to help remedy this situation, I am very concerned about the safety of those driving this vehicle with this problem. Thank you

My vehicles steering wheel wiring harness rubbed against the driver air bag module retainer spring causing it to break and now the parts need to be replaced. This was a validated recall on other models but for some reason it is not appearing under my VIN. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 15V459000 My vehicle is currently scheduled to get repaired by my mechanic but I believe this should be reimbursed as it was a reported recall on extremely similar models.

Intermittent loss of power steering due to faulty EPS module. Warning in dash says service power steering. When this happens there is no power assist. Unit had been checked and verified that power, ground, and all other wires are i. Good working order. Problem is within EPS module.

Electric power steering is lost when weather is cold but as soon as the truck warms up the power steering starts to work again

Drove truck to work, was losing power steering intermittently with no dash or warning lights. While operating the vehicle the steering will become so hard that it feels like it could jerk your shoulder off. Steering is fine when driving straight, any turns causes the power steering to intermittently quit working, causing you to have to correct it so hard that you almost overturn the vehicle because the steering gets so tight and then lets loose. This vehicle is not currently safe to be operated. Have since tried to drive the vehicle and only get it backed out of the driveway and experience the same issue. Will have to have it towed. I have had a shop check over the vehicle, they have advised the power steering rack and pinion will need to be changed.

It doesn’t steer at all

All summer my pickup was fine, now that it is getting colder my power steering isn't working anymore. Seems like anything below 32° and my power steering will kick off and stop working. It has almost caused multiple crashes since the vehicle is hard to steer. I got it diagnosed by a dodge dealership, and they told me the internal control board is malfunctioning and needs to be replaced.

This is getting ridiculous. Every time my vehicle is washed at the dealership with the high power jets, water gets into the vehicle from the third brake light and blows the bulb. As a disabled vet, it is getting impossible to climb into the bed and replace. This time, I took it to the dealership, which they replaced. They solution? The third brake light unit needs to be sealed, including on all the other Rams including the news one. If Stellantis is aware of this, why is this not a recall? Their next recommendation? Stop getting the truck washed. Is dirty Rams everywhere the advertisement Stellatis wants? The new slogan should be, "buy a Ram, just don't wash it...ever". The third brake light bulb will not blow when the truck is detailed or it a normal to light rain. Between the heavy rains and the dealership's high powered water jets, there is a permanent water stain on my headliner. The dealership warned me that if too much water gets inside, it will damage the RTF (?), which will render the truck useless. This has been an ongoing problem since I have owned the truck, which was purchased in 2015 or 2016. I want to know directly from Stellantis that if I replace the third brake light (again), but with an aftermarket LED unit, will the light continue to leak. If you conduct an online search, you will see how many other Ram owners have the same problem, yet Stellantis does nothing. If Ram's high powered water jets blow the bulbs, why does Ram still use the high powered jets? I

Check engine light came on and then turning a corner my power steering turned off. Cause me to run off the road and almost crashed. It yanked me straight off the road. Put a code reader on it and C2200-49 was popping up.

Electronic power steering went out while I was operating the vehicle almost resulting in a wreck. Was intermittent after that, and now won't work at all making the vehicle undrivable.

The contact’s husband owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while her husband was driving 45 MPH, the vehicle lost power steering functionality with the message "Warning Power Steering" displayed. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the power steering gear was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

Starting to turn left and the power steering stopped working and made me go straight. Took it to dealer and checked out Power steering rack. I had no other option than to order part since this is the only vehicle i have. Immediately after the malfunction on the turn the "Service power steering" warning lamp showed up on dash.

Flexplate (flywheel) had tone wheel dislodge and destroy crank position sensor. After a $2200 repair quote from dealer and while at the dealer the repair shop claims the engine is failed completely and new ecodiesel engine is needed. Crankshaft is suspected failure. Vehicle had total loss of power when crank tone wheel failed. Very dangerous to find a shoulder without power while towing travel trailer. Vehicle was purchased due to longevity expected from diesel engine.

EPS Malfunctioning in an instant on the road. Never had this issue before, as I am driving on a curve, EPS or in this case a Red Flashing Steering wheel came on and my steering wheel locked almost causing an accident to myself, my safety was in a risk in an instant.
