2014 Ram 1500 complaints

THIS VEHICLE WILL STALL WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP FROM TIME TO TIME. THERE IS NO PATTERN WHEN IT HAPPENS. WE OWN A SECOND 2014 RAM THAT DOES THE SAME!!!

I RAN HOME QUICK TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF MY OFFICE, I PARKED THE TRUCK IN THE DRIVE WAY, PUT IT IN PARK AND LEFT THE TRUCK RUNNING. I JUMPED OUT, RAN THROUGH THE GARAGE AND WHEN I GOT TO THE TOP OF THE STAIRS I TURNED AROUND TO SEE THE TRUCK COMING RIGHT AT ME, I JUMPED UP ON THE TOP STAIR AS THE TRUCK CAME UP THE DRIVE WAY AND THROUGH THE GARAGE AND SLAMMED INTO THE CEMENT STAIRS IN THE GARAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN THE PARK POSITION AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ENGAGED, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL FORWARD MOMENTS AFTER THE DRIVER EXITED THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE GARAGE DOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE ABOVE 30 MPH. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, WHILE DRIVING, THE HEADLIGHTS BECAME INOPERABLE AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FLICKERED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

WHEN I PUT MY 2014 DODGE RAM PICKUP IN PARK AND GET OUT IT ROLLED BACK. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. TWICE IT ROLLED ABOUT 3 FEET, OTHER TIME ABOUT 6 FEET. DODGE DEALER HERE IN ANCHORAGE ALASKA CLAIMS THEY NO NOTHING OF ISSUE AND DO NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE AIR SUSPENSION WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONED WHILE IN THE FOURTH WHEEL DRIVE POSITION. THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BE REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,819.

AFTER DRIVING MY TRUCK ALL DAY .. I CAME HOME AND AFTER 3 HOURS I WANTED TO GO TO THE GYM BUT MY TRUCK WOULD NOT TURN OVER.. I HAD TO GET A JUMP START BUT IT NEVER CHARGED AND WOULDN'T START ONCE AGAIN... *TR

WAS DRIVING TRUCK IN AN EMPTY LOT AFTER A SNOW STORM WITH LOTS OF ICE. HAD TRACTION CONTROL OFF AND TRUCK FISHTAILED AROUND A CORNER AND ENGINE STALLED. LIGHTS IN INTERIOR WERE ON AND DASH ADVISED TO SHIFT INTO PARK TO START. NO KNOCKING OR STRANGE NOISES PRIOR, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AFTER OR BEFORE. RPMS WERE BELOW 3000 WHEN ENGINE STALLED. AFTER STALL PUT TRUCK INTO PARK AND STARTED UP RIGHT AWAY. TANK WAS 3/4 FULL. ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE HAD WITH THE TRUCK BUT IT IS VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. *TR

THIS MODEL VEHICLE CONTINUES TO LUNGE FORWARD/BUMP FROM THE REAR WHEN COMING TO A STOP FROM A 2-1 DOWNSHIFT. CHRYSLER DEALERS REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE AND STATE SINCE OTHER SAME MODEL/YEAR MAKES DO IT IT IS CONSIDERED NORMAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATION BEGAN TO DECREASE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CONVERTER ESCALATOR EXHAUST FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED THREE TIMES, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000. UPDATED 02/14/17*LJ *CN

MY SON'S RAM 1500 ROLLED FORWARD WHILE IN PARK DAMAGING OUR GARAGE DOOR. WE JUST HEARD ABOUT THIS VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND IT SOUNDS LIKE WHAT HAPPENED IN THIS SITUATION.

ROTARY SHIFTER I WAS OUTSIDE OF MY TRUCK ON DEC.23 2016 WHEN I PUT MY TRUCK IN PARK AND WENT INSIDE OF GAS STATION FOR A MINUTE. AFTER BEING PARKED FOR A WHILE I SAW MY TRUCK STARTED TO ROLL AWAY ON ITS OWN I RAN OUT OF THE DOOR AND CAUGHT MY TRUCK BEFORE ANY MAJOR DAMAGE HAPPENED. MY TRUCK WAS INITIALLY IN PARK I ALWAYS DOUBLE SINCE I HAVE BEEN HEARING ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS. MY TRUCK SOMEHOW PUT ITSELF IN DRIVE AND TOOK OFF ON ITS OWN THE MANAGER OF PIZZA HUT ALSO WITNESSED THIS. NOW I'M SCARED TO DRIVE MY TRUCK WHICH I STILL OWE 37000 ON. I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND IT HAS NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. HOWEVER IT DID LIGHTLY HIT A YELLOW POLE BUT NO REAL DAMAGE TO TRUCK.

MY VEHICLE IS A 2014 DODGE RAM 1500 AND HAS A TURN KNOB SELECTOR ON THE DASHBOARD FOR TRANSMISSION SELECTION. ABOUT A MONTH AGO, EARLY NOVEMBER LATE OCTOBER, I PUT THE SELECTOR IN P AND THE VEHICLE HAD ROLLED TO THE POINT WHERE I PRESSED THE BRAKE AND TURNED IT AGAIN FROM D TO P. THE SECOND TIME ALL WAS OK. I THOUGHT NOTHING ABOUT THIS UNTIL I NOTICED ARTICLES ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I REPORTED THIS TO MY DEALER, JOHNSON DODGE, WHO ADVISED ME THAT THIS WAS NOT A RECALL AFTER I GAVE THEM MY VIN. JUST MAKING SURE THIS IS A SAFE ISSUE. *TR

TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, NOT PART OF A RECALL, REAR MAIN SEAL WAS REPLACED, REAR DIFFERENTIAL SEAL WAS REPLACED, HIGH MOUNT BRAKE LIGHT WAS REPLACED DUE TO WATER LEAKING IN THE CAB. THERE IS A CHEMICAL SMELL COMING FROM ENGINE THRU VENTS. FRONT TIRES WEARING ON THE OUTSIDE MOST LIKELY THE TIE ROD DEFECT THAT THE DEALER WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE.

I BELIEVE OUR TRUCK SHOULD BE PART OF MOST OF THE RECALLS LISTED FO RAM TRUCKS. OUR TIRES ARE WEARING ON THE OUTSIDE, THEY WON'T FIX. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT TWENTY SOME THOUSANDS MILES, AND MY WIFE BEING THE PRIMARY DRIVER SAID THAT WHEN YOU COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE TRUCK SOMETIMES JUMPS FORWARD. THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL SEAL WAS REPLACED. I'M AFRAID THAT WE MIGHT LOSE OUR WHEELS ON THE ROAD. THERE IS ALSO A CHEMICAL SMELL COMING FROM THE ENGINE THAT EVERYONE CAN SMELL BUT THE DEALER. CURRENTLY WORKING WITH CHRYSLER AND BEEN DRIVING A RENTAL FOR ALMOST A MONTH.

I HAD A BIG RAIN STORM ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO THAT BROUGHT AROUND 8 INCHES OF RAIN INTO MY AREA. THERE WAS A FACTORY DEFECT WITH THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT AND SATELLITE RADIO ANTENNA SEALS THAT ALOUD WATER TO ENTER THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. EVERYTHING IN THE CAB OF THE TRUCK WAS SOAKED. I HAD 6 INCHES ON STANDING WATER IN THE COMPARTMENTS. WHEN I DROVE THE TRUCK AFTER 3 DAYS OF RAINING WATER BEGAN TO POUR OUT FROM THE HEADLINER ONTO THE DASHBOARD. DODGE REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING WITH THE RAM BECAUSE IT WAS 700 MILES OUT OF THE WARRANTY. A WEEK AFTER THE STORM, I STARTED THE RAM TO WARM UP ONE MORNING AND WHEN I WENT TO GET IN THE TRUCK EVERY WARNING LIGHT WAS ON, IT WAS BEEPING, I COULD TO SHIFT IT INTO GEAR NOR COULD I TURN THE TRUCK OFF. ONCE I STEPPED OUT OF THE TRUCK IT LOCKED THE DOORS WITH THE TRUCK STILL RUNNING AND I COULD NOT UNLOCK THE DOORS FOR AN HOUR LATER. USAA HAS TOTAL MY RAM OUT BUT CHRYSLER HAS NOT TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE THE LEAK IS A HUGE PROBLEM DATING BACK TO 2004.

THE ENGINE OIL COOLER ON THE PENTASTAR 3.6L V-6 ENGINE CRACKED CAUSING OIL TO LEAK ONTO OTHER ENGINE PARTS AND THE GROUND. I NOTICED THE OIL LEAKING AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 4 MILES. THIS COULD EASILY START A FIRE OR CAUSE AN ENGINE TO SEIZE. *TR

HAS DIAL TRANSMISSION KNOB. SWEAR IT WAS IN PARK, OPENED DOOR, REALIZED IT WAS MOVING IN REVERSE. STOP IT AFTER DOOR WAS BENT FORWARD BY TREE. ALREADY BEEN CLAIMED AND REPAIRED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP IT ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING INDICATORS AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTING ILLUMINATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND COMPUTER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. UPDATED 02/14/17*LJ *CN

YOU ALREADY HAVE AN OPEN INVESTIGATION OF THIS PROBLEM. PE 16-014. I HAVE HAD TWO INSTANCES OF THE TRUCK ROLLING AWAY AFTER PLACING THE ROTARY SHIFT KNOB INTO PARK. ENGINE WAS RUNNING. FIRST TIME I SHIFTED INTO PARK, RELEASED THE FOOT BRAKE AND IT ROLLED. I MOVED THE SHIFTER TO NEUTRAL THEN BACK TO PARK AND IT ENGAGED NORMALLY. THE SECOND TIME I PLACED THE VEHICLE PARK AND OPENED THE DOOR TO EXIT. IT STARTED ROLLING AWAY BUT I STOPPED IT WITH THE FOOT BRAKE. I LOOKED AT THE ROTARY SHIFT CONTROL AND IT HAD AN INDICATOR LIGHT FOR "PARK". HOWEVER, WHEN I MOVED IT TO NEUTRAL I DID NOT HEAR THE NORMAL CLICK SOUND. PLACED IT BACK IN PARK AND IT WORKED NORMALLY. BOTH INCIDENTS OCCURRED AT HOME (DRIVEWAY) AND THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED WITH ENGINE RUNNING WHEN THEY OCCURRED.

ROLL AWAY AFTER PARKING IN DRIVEWAY. I PARKED ON MY SLIGHT INCLINED DRIVEWAY, PLACED THE TRUCK IN PARK, EXITED THE TRUCK AND WALKED TO THE FRONT WHILE MY WIFE WAS EXITING THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THE TRUCK BEGAN ROLLING BACKWARDS KNOCKING MY WIFE TO THE GROUND. I HAD TO RUN DOWN THE DRIVEWAY, JUMP IN THE TRUCK AND STOP IT. I STARTED IT AND IT WAS STILL IN PARK, AS I PLACED IT WHEN I PARKED IT. I DROVE IT BACK UP THE DRIVEWAY AND PARKED IT AND IT WAS NORMAL AT THAT POINT. WE WERE PUZZLED AND ASSUMED I MUST HAVE NOT PUT IN IN PARK ETC. BUT AFTER HEARING MORE REPORTS OF THIS DECIDED TO REPORT THIS. I AM A EXPERIENCED AND SAFE DRIVER AND ALWAYS PUT MY VEHICLES IN PARK SO I AM NOT BLAMING MYSELF ANYMORE. MY WIFE WAS OK, JUST SHAKEN AS IT WAS SNOWY AND COLD OUT, AND ON THE GROUND. BOTH OF US COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR IF A CHILD OR ADULT WAS BEHIND THE TRUCK IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE, THIS DOES NEED ADDRESSED. I LOOK FORWARD TO THE FEEDBACK.

2014 RAM 1500 PICKUP. HAD STOPPED TO REFUEL MY PICKUP TRUCK. WHEN REFUELING COMPLETED, AND AFTER PUTTING ON MY SEATBELT, I STARTED THE ENGINE AND PLACED THE TRANSMISSION SELECTOR FROM PARK INTO DRIVE. AS I BEGAN TO ROLL FORWARD I HAD AN ELECTRONIC CHIME AND NOTICE DISPLAYED ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL: "VEHICLE NOT IN PARK". HAVING ROLLED ONLY 10 FEET, I STOPPED THE TRUCK, PLACED THE CAR INTO PARK, AND WHEN I DID SO THE DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER GAVE AN INDICATION OF ZERO. I PUT THE GEAR BACK INTO DRIVE AND RECEIVED THE SAME ALERT. MY SPEED WAS NOT MORE THAN 2-3 MPH. I REPEATED THE PROCESS AND WHEN I GOT THE ALERT THE NEXT TIME I DECIDED TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE, AFTER WHICH THE ALERT DISAPPEARED. PERHAPS JUST A COINCIDENCE, BUT MY DIGITAL SATELLITE RADIO MALFUNCTIONED AND CONTINUED TO DO SO BEFORE SELF-CORRECTING 1.5 MILES LATER. THIS WAS THE FIRST AND ONLY OCCURRENCE. I HAVE NOT REPORTED IT TO THE DEALER. I AM ONLY REPORTING IT NOW TO NHTSA BECAUSE OF THE NEWS ARTICLE THAT I JUST READ CITING MY YEAR/MODEL VEHICLE BEING AMONG THOSE THAT HAVE HAD REPORTED ROLL-OFF ISSUES. THIS COULD BE RELATED AND MIGHT PROVIDE YOU WITH ADDITIONAL DATA FOR ANALYSIS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE IN PARK, THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS IN THE DRIVEWAY THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000. UPDATED 02/16/17*LJ *CN

I'VE OWNED 4 CHRYSLER/DODGE VEHICLES 98 AVENGER, 99 RAM 1500, 03 300 M AND NOW 2014 RAM 1500 WHICH EVERYONE HAS HAD ELECTRICAL ISSUES. I HAVE NOT PUT MONEY INTO MY NEW TRUCK YET BUT HAVE PUT THOUSANDS INTO OTHER VEHICLES BEFORE I SOLD THEM FOR LESS THAN BLUE BOOK JUST TO BE RID OF ALL THE ISSUES. I BOUGHT MY CURRANT TRUCK NEW IN JUNE 2014, I FIRST BEGAN NOTICING GLITCHES LATE SUMMER 2015 AND NOW THERE ARE ELECTRIC SURGES, FAULT INDICATORS THAT ARE FINE AND LIGHTS WILL NOT SHUT OFF KILLING MY BATTERY. I BOUGHT NEW THIS TIME ASSUMING I WOULD ELIMINATE THESE ISSUES BUT I WAS WRONG, MY TRUCK HAS HAD NO ACCIDENTS OF ANY SORT AND YET I HAVE A $35,000 TRUCK THAT'S UNRELIABLE AS WELL AS UNSAFE. DURNING MY RESEARCH CHRYSLER HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS ISSUE FOR DECADES AND SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR LACK OF SAFETY CONCERNS FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS. VERY DISHEARTENING AS WELL AS FRUSTRATING

FRONT ROTORS WARPED AT 39,000.FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS CHANGED AT 44,000.

THE HORN HAS A DELAY WHEN PRESSED TO SOUND OFF. IT WILL HONK SECONDS AFTER YOU REMOVE YOUR HAND FROM THE HORN. NOT SAFE. WOULD NOT PASS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION INSPECTION IF IT WERE A COMMERCIAL VEHICLE.

THEIRS A LOT OF RECALLS THEY DON'T FIX THEM AND I'M SCARE OF DRIVING THE TRUCK.

MY TRUCK HAS AN EXHAUST LEAK THAT ALLOWS RAW DIESEL FUMES TO BE DRAWN INTO THE VEHICLE'S HVAC SYSTEM. WHEN THE TRUCK IS STATIONARY AND THE ENGINE IS IDLING, DIESEL EXHAUST FUMES CAN BE EASILY DETECTED IN THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. BECAUSE THIS TRUCK IS EQUIPPED WITH SCR, DEF, AND DPF SYSTEMS, YOU SHOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO SMELL RAW DIESEL EXHAUST WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. HOWEVER, WHEN THE TRUCK IS STATIONARY, YOU CAN SMELL RAW DIESEL EXHAUST IN THE CAB AND WHEN STANDING OUTSIDE THE TRUCK. I BELIEVE THE LEAK IS COMING FROM THE EXHAUST ELBOW, JUST DOWN STREAM FROM THE TURBO ASSEMBLY. THIS IS A KNOWN WEAK POINT IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AS MANY RAM ECODIESEL OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME LEAK AND SYMPTOMS.

SINCE I PURCHASED MY RAM, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF AS IF PLEASES AND RANDOMLY IT WILL TELL ME FUEL SENSOR FAIL. THIS COMES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY BUT LATELY IT HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE A TRIP.

MY 2014 RAM 1500 HAD TO HAVE ITS DEF (DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID) TANK REPLACED. I WAS TOLD SINCE IT IS AN EMISSIONS COMPONENT IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. IT COST OVER $2000 TO REPLACE THIS TANK ONLY BECAUSE THE SENDING UNIT WAS INOPERABLE. THE SENDING UNIT IS INTEGRAL TO THE TANK SO YOU COULD NOT REPLACE THE SENDING UNIT. THE SENDING UNIT WOULD NOT REGISTER A FULL TANK. WHEN THE UNIT INDICATED THE TANK WAS EMPTY (WHEN IT WAS NOT) THE VEHICLE IS REQUIRED TO GO INTO LIMP MODE(3-5MPH). THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING LONG DISTANCES IN REMOTE AREAS.

AFTER GOING TO TWO DEALERSHIPS, I AM UNABLE TO GET MY RECALL R46/NHTSA 15V-541 REPAIRED. TUTTLE CLICK DODGE IN IRVINE CALIFORNIA AND HUNTINGTON BEACH DODGE IN HUNTINGTON BEACH, CALIFORNIA BOTH ADVISE THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART, THAT CHRYSLER WILL NOT RELEASE THE PART OTHER THAN 2 A MONTH, AND AFTER ORDERING THE PART THROUGH BOTH DEALERS AND BEING TOLD I WILL BE CALLED WHEN IT ARRIVES, IT HAS BEEN MONTHS AND I STILL HAVE NO CALL AND NO REPAIR. *TR

BREAKS WENT OUT ON THE FREEWAY.

ALL BUTTONS ON FRONT RIGHT SIDE OF STEERING WHEEL (CRUISE CONTROL, GEAR+/-) HAVE COMPLETELY STOPPED FUNCTIONING. VEHICLE HAS 44,000 MILES, STEERING WHEEL WIRE HARNESS WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPLACED A YEAR AGO UNDER RECALL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOOR WHEN DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,539.

I STARTED THE TRUCK AND NOTICED THAT THE CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL FOR THE RADIO AND BLUE TOOTH DID NOT WORK. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE HORN DID NOT WORK. I CAN NOT SCROLL THROUGH THE INFORMATION CENTER TO CHECK THE TIRE PRESSURE, SPEED, OIL LIFE OR ANY OTHER ITEMS IN THE INFORMATION CENTER. I ALSO DO NOT KNOW IF THIS ISSUE AFFECTS THE AIR BAG BEING ABLE TO DEPLOY. I CAN NOT RESET THE OIL LIFE AFTER I CHANGE THE OIL.

DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID (DEF WASN'T MIX WITH THE FUEL TO MAKE THE TRUCK RUN PROPERLY. TRUCK WON'T STAY START. WHEN TRUCK START ONLY GO 30MPH. HAS BEEN IN SHOP 10 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN MAY 2015. IT IS IN THE SHOP WITH NO ETA ON THE PART SO I AM IN A RENTER SINCE 6SEPT2016. THE DEALERSHIP ONLY COVER 5 DAYS OF RENTER. SO I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REMAIN OF RENTER UNTIL TRUCK REPAIRED AND STILL MAKING MY TRUCK PAYMENT OF $613.00. ONE TIME I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT JUST STOP WOULDN'T START AT ALL HAD TO BE TOW TO THE SHOP. THE REST OF THE STOP AND GO WAS ON STREETS.

ENGINE BLEW UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 65 MI/H. LOST OF POWER. ECODIESEL MOTOR

SMELL OF EXHAUST FUMES IN MY 4X4 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL. AT A LATER DATE VISUALLY SEEN WHITE FUMES THAT SMELLED STRONG OF EXHAUST ENTER CAB THOUGH VENT SYSTEM WHILE IN REVERSE, AND AT A FEW DAYS LATER IN "DRIVE." "REPAIRED" WITH A NEW EXHAUST GASKET BY LOCAL DEALER. SMELL STILL OCCURED AND SCHEDULED FOR ANOTHER REPAIR IN ABOUT 2 WEEKS. WILL SUPPLY DEALER WITH PRINTOUT PICTURES OF OTHER OWNERS WITH SAME PROBLEM. "EXHAUST FRONT PIPE" CRACK, AND VERY COMMON THOUGHOUT ALL YEAR MODEL ECODIESELS 2014-2016 4X2 AND 4X4. HAD 13 MONTH OLD FIRSTBORN IN FRONT SEAT AND NEEDS TO BE TAKEN MORE SERIOUS BY FCA (FIAT CHRYSTLER AMERICA). NO PICTURES AS OF YET AS THE PART IS OUT OF MY REACH UNTIL I REQUEST SEEING THE OLD REPLACED PART. FCA CLAIMS TO HAVE "MORE ROBUST PART" BUT AN HOUR AND TEN MINUTES OF PHONE TIME AND I HAVE REALIZED THERE IS NO "NEW" PART. VERY ANGRY OVER THE SITUATION, AS THERE IS NO RECALL FOR 4X4 MODELS AND THE 4X4 MODELS USE THE SAME PART NUMBER AND PART AS THE 4X2 MODELS. TECHS AT DEALERSHIP SEEM LOST. VERY EASY TO FIND INFORMATION ONLINE IN SECONDS FOR ANYBODY WHO LOOKS. OWNERS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM WITH SAME 4X4 MODEL AS I, FEEL VERY MISLED AND LIED TO. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND AMOUNT OF EXHAUST IN CAB IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE AND COULD ABSOLUTELY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT ON THE ROAD.

THE SWITCH LIGHT STAY ON AT ALL TIME UNLESS I PUT IT ON AUTO , IF I PUT THE LIGHT ON ON WORK BUT WENT AM DONE I TRY TO TURN LIGHT OFF ONLY WORK IF I SWITCH IT TO AUTO. I WONDERING IF IS ONLY MY TRUCK OR ANYBODY ELSE HAS COME FORWARD WITH IT ?

I AM WRITING WITH CONCERN I HAVE FOR A POSSIBLE VEHICLE DEFECT WITH A 2014 RAM 1500 4X4. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORPORATE AND HAVE RECEIVED LITTLE TO NO HELP. I HAVE BEEN BASICALLY TOLD THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND HAVE TECHNICIANS WORKING TO SOLVE THE ISSUE. THE PROBLEM IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT THE NEITHER SERVICING DEALER NOR CORPORATE CAN REPAIR. IT HAS BEEN IN THEIR REPAIR SHOP 4 TIMES. MY LAST VISIT I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE REPAIR WAS NOT MADE BECAUSE THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO AND TO 'DRIVE IT TILL IT BECAME WORSE OR MORE CONSISTENT.' THEIR MECHANIC AND SERVICE PERSONNEL HAVE HEARD THE NOISE AS WELL BUT CANNOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. THE NOISE IS A HIGH PITCH SQUEAL AT A DOWN SHIFT FROM THE 2ND GEAR TO 1ST GEAR. MY CONCERN IS THAT I HAVE ASKED THE SERVICING DEALER AND THE CASE MANAGER WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. REGARDLESS OF THE DOWNSHIFT SQUEAL BEING FROM 2ND GEAR TO 1ST GEAR, SHOULD THERE BE A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHAT WILL HAPPEN? THEY WILL NOT ANSWER THIS QUESTION. IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, THEY NEED TO MAKE ME THE CONSUMER AWARE AND REPAIR AS NEEDED. I HAVE ASKED THEM TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND HAVE BEEN TOLD EVERY REASON WHY THEY CANNOT. I FEEL THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY IS AT POTENTIAL RISK. I HAVE ATTACHED MY CORRESPONDENCE WITH CHRYSLER FOR YOUR REVIEW INCLUDING THE SERVICING DEALER DOCUMENTS AND THE CORPORATE C

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, IT ROLLED FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,300.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE HEADLIGHTS BLINK (AS IF YOU ARE ON A BUMPY ROAD). TOOK TO MACK GRUBBS/COLUMBIA, MS FOR A RECALL ISSUE AND HAD THEM TO LOOK AT LIGHTS. THEY TOLD ME THEY SEE THAT IN A LOT OF THOSE MODEL TRUCKS. I PICKED UP MY TRUCK FROM THE RECALL REPAIR AND WAS INFORMED I OWED $40 FOR DIAGNOSIS OF THE HEAD LIGHT ISSUE AND THAT IT WOULD BE $180 PLUS TAX AND LABOR TO REPAIR THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THE SAME TO REPAIR THE DRIVER SIDE. THAT IS WAS A WIRING HARNESS ISSUE. THE SERVICE MAN TOLD ME AND MY HUSBAND THAT THE IS VERY COMMON IN THE RAM TRUCKS. 1) THAT SHOULD MEAN A RECALL. 2) OUR TRUCK WAS IN OUR POSSESSION EXACTLY 2 YEARS, 1 DAY WHEN WE DROPPED IT OFF FOR THE RECALL ISSUE TO BE FIXED (WHICH WAS ABOUT A WEEK AFTER I HAD THEM TO DIAGNOS THE CHECK ENGINE/LIGHTS AND WAS TOLD OF A RECALL AND SET UP THE APPT). 3) WE PURCHASED AN ELECTRICAL INSURANCE AT TIME OF VEHICLE PURCHASE. I DO NOT RECCOMMEND THIS VEHICLE TO ANYONE! THE LIGHTS BLINKING ON/OFF AS YOU ARE DRIVING MAKES ONCOMING TRAFFIC BLINK THEIR LIGHTS OR THINK YOU ARE TRYING TO STOP THEM. NOT SAFE AT ALL.

AIR BAG LIGHT KEPT COMING ON. SEEN RECALL ON MY VEHICLE(15V-459), IN REGARD TO WIRE HARNESS CAUSING SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE DEALER NOW STATE THAT THE WIRE HARNESS TO THE AIRBAG HAS SHORTED OUT UNDER THE SEAT. COSTING APPROXIMATELY $401.00. COULD THIS BE CAUSED BY THE RECALL ON 2014 DODGE RAM.
