The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 54,000.

Front Tank strap holder on frame failed. The front of the tank fell down and ripped the hoses and cracked fuel filter cover. The vehicle was running and spilled several gallons of fuel on the ground.

Observed several instances of the OEM air suspension system becoming disabled due to cold temperatures. Vehicle would fail to adjust ride height to normal, DIC woukd display message AIR SUSPENSION NOT AVAILABLE and would ride as if vehicle has no suspension. Any attempt to adjust would display message SELECTED REIGJT HEIGHT UNAVAILABLE. On ice packed roads and bridges, the pickup would tend to wander after going over the bumps and uneven icy areas, at one point this evening putting the pickup into a mild fish-tail. Contacted a personal friend that is a mechanic at local Ram dealer and was told this is a well known problem with the Ram 1500 air suspension and is not a recalled item. I believe that as suspension is a key component for vehicle safety and handling, the NHSTA ought to mandate FCA to correct the issue through a comprehensive recall.

On occasions too numerous to list the engine suddenly loses power. This has been very, very dangerous, especially on the interstates. The recall on the fuel pump was issued in June and 5+ months later still no solution. How much longer am I supposed to drive this dangerous vehicle?

The issue described in NHTSA campaign 18V160000 is still present in model years later than currently covered. My 2015 truck has this same issue caused by the same defect. Noise was noticed while on daily commute on interstate, traveling approx 65 MPH. Upon inspection T slot bracket for the front fuel strap was corroded causing the fuel tank strap to fall out. Fuel tank was hanging by back strap only, did not contact the roadway, and the loose strap was making contact with the driveshaft.

Driving approximately 80 mph on the interstate when the truck completely shut off-total power failure. I was lucky and able to pull off, once I took the key out the truck started. Took to the dealer who stated they couldn’t duplicate the issue. 6 months later driving on side street same issue, truck shut down while driving with complete power failure. Reported issue to dealer who said call Fiat Chrysler. Spoke to Fiat Chrysler stated no fix currently available, no rental car or loaner would be provided despite this truck being unsafe to drive.

My RAM has been diagnosis with the same faulty manifold bolts as what seems to be numerous other 3rd and 4th generation RAMs and is resulting in dangerous exhaust leakage along with the potential for it to cause heads to cease while driving. I discovered the prevalence of reports of the same issue after my dealer diagnosed the issue while repairing a faulty air bag that has been recalled. The dealer quoted me $2,031.89 to make the repairs (see attached). In one forum alone, there are 100s of people that have cited the same issue and some have left their NHTSA complaint IDs: 11321983, 11317189, 11321434.

When pulling out onto Highway vehicle did not accelerate as it should and lost power when accelerating. Did get up to Highway miles. Lights on dash said electronic throttle control. Thought maybe the computer needed reset so removed battery cables and still nothing.

The speed control system was working recently then stopped for no reason. It does NOT register info on the dashboard or engage. Completely out. Due to the recalls for so many others, this needs to be added to your list.

The tailgate recall was supposed to have been fixed, but it didn't work. The tailgate has dropped down at least 4 or 5 times since the supposed recall repair. The last time, it hit the jack on the trailer I was pulling and did quite a bit of damage to the tailgate. I have already submitted this information to Mopar around the 15th and was told I would be contacted within 1 business day, but was not contacted. I have uploaded pictures showing the damage. I have not contacted the insurance company yet.

HPFP failure causing frequent sudden decrease in propulsion while driving which is in turn endangering me & my family including young children as well as other drivers on the road. The check engine light 100% came on immediately & has been on & off intermittently until about a week ago where it is lit continuously. I am no longer able to drive my vehicle which is needed desperately for work. I immediately reached out to Dodge Ram who states there will not be an available repair for this recall until 2023. I just bought this vehicle 45 days ago & am making payments on it. There must be something that can be done expeditiously. I cannot make these payments if I loose my job. Please reply ASAP.

Trucks power steering has been clutching out

I seen that certain Ram1500 had a recall on the 3 way coolent valve.My Ram 1500 3.6L valve now went on me.Dealership said that my truck isn’t in the recall.

Catastrophic engine failure, resulting in a hole in the block!! My truck is like new, with less than 53000 miles, perfectly maintained. You could eat dinner off the engine it is so clean. This is the second time a 5.7L hemi engine has failed me. I leased a 2012 Ram and the engine had to be replaced on that( under warranty)! HELP. This is a MAJOR $12,000 repair which should not be taking place! Truck in shop now, but to Labor Day weekend, I have no paperwork at this time . Please let me know what you need. Thank you

Air suspension will randomly deflate on one side of the vehicle making steering difficult at highway speeds. Hitting a bump or discontinuity in the road while the frame is sitting on the bump-stops (when suspension is deflated) can cause the tire to jump or skip, temporary loosing traction. It can go days or weeks without occurring, or it can happen multiple times in one trip.

Air suspension failure .Dangerous to drive. should be a recall and replacement at RAM cost

CONSTITUENT WRITES IN REGARD TO FAULTY HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP SAFETY RECALL ON THEIR 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME COMPLETING THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONSUMER STATED THANKS TO POOR/LACK OF CONCERN FOR THEIR SAFETY IS UNACCEPTABLE. HE TRADED THE TRUCK IN AT A SUBSTANTIAL LOSS OF MONEY.

Rusted out area on chassis/bracket causing front fuel tank strap to detach and hang, no longer supporting fuel tank.

There is intermittent power steering loss. My truck is not part of the recall to replace the EPS for recall S19.

I have flawlessly taken care of my Ram truck. My check engine light came on P0303, cylinder 3 misfire. I had to replace the camshaft and lifters on both sides of the engine due to a continuing design flaw in the Hemi engine. This is a well known issue and it should be addressed by the government.

Loss of power. Unable to get vehicle to highway speed. Loss of fuel economy. I looked at FCA and NHTSA sites and see a fuel pump recall for my vehicle issued in June. Called local dealer Fury motors in Stillwater, MN where I am currently and was told by service dept that there won't be anything FCA will do before 1st qtr of 2023. I am stranded here with a disabled vehicle. I live in Colorado.

Driving down the interstate at normal speed 60mph. There was a loud pop and white smoke, I pulled over and the drive shaft had broke loose, the u joint broke and cracked my transfer case. Dodge has a very bad problem in these year model with this same issue.

Exhaust flange bolts break not rusty. causes to melt and burn def line and injector engine will not restart after 200 miles

2015 RAM 1500. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO DEFECTIVE POWER STEERING UNIT.

Truck caught on fire

Truck died (stopped) completely crossing a highway and couldn't move it from oncoming traffic without disabling electronic gear shift manually. No prior indication that there was an issue. It just stalled.

...The component that failed is the ABS and traction system, the hitch brake system and the cruise control also stopped working, all this abs and traction system when it stops working can cause the vehicle to not move have correct performance in its braking and skidding system, which can be dangerous, especially in severe rainy and humid climates. I took the car for inspection to the dealer in naplenton in kisiimmee fl and the diagnosis so far is that it has damage to the abs module and the abs pump, which must be replaced and whose price for parts and labor is around 1615 $ with a tendency to increase according to the dealer, so far I only have the diagnosis and quote of the arrangement, since the parts take around 7 days to be available. Yesterday I contacted the FCA inquiring about the warranties of the car on these parts and about an extended warranty that they had offered me in the past tense due to other damages that I had previously in the vehicle with other parts, I did not get a response from FCA about that warranty and The dealer tells me that I do not have any warranties to cover this repair, so I will have to put it out of my pocket. It should be noted that my truck is from 2015 and it is a work vehicle and it only has 54,000 thousand miles, that is, it is a truck that has been given the use and exploitation for which it is designed .... thank you very much

The contact owned a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, her husband experienced a medical emergency causing the vehicle to lose control and crash into a tree. During the incident, the speed at impact was approximately 50 mph. During the crash, the vehicle was destroyed but the driver-side front air bag did not deploy. The husband sustained head trauma, chest trauma, and a lacerated left leg. A police report was taken at the scene. The vehicle was towed away. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified. The failure mileage was 60,000.

Driving on interstate 65 mph there was a sudden loud grinding sound from under my truck. I pulled over and found my gas tank hanging . I was able to slowly get to and area where i could safely see what happened after looking at gas tank i found that the front gas strap rusted threw the frame and the full gas tank fell down and was hitting the drive shaft. I was able to jack up the tank and put a strap around it and drive home 183 miles . I was lucky it did not hit the road as the tank was full of gas.

Went to go start the truck one morning and when I got in the truck as soon as I exceeded over 7 MPH it says to service the ABS system and the trailer brake system. I turned off the truck and started it again and it said the system was reporting fine. As soon as I went over 7 MPH again it said to service the abs again. I feel this may be a safety issue because it’s a component that’s needed for every vehicle like mines in the event I need to brake hard to avoid an accident. I can’t have the system say there’s an issue and say it’s ok the next time I start the vehicle.

Failed to repair recall, recently received letter in mail stating recalled airbags are in stock and they failed to install them stating that they didn't have the parts and were unable to install them.

The exhaust manifold screws are broken causing damage to the entire manifold. This is a common issue with Rams known as the “hemi tick” which results in the lifters ticking do to a a design flaw that doesn’t allow oil to properly lubricate the reservoir.

Power steering doesn't work when turning, especially at slow speeds. A recall was done for a problem with circuit board chip, but dealer claims my truck doesn't qualify

I backup a long side a dumpster and put in park, got out and all the sudden my truck started moving backwards and just about ran me over. If I would not have had my door open and got cought on the corner of the dumpster, it would have ran me over. So this event ended up ripping my door off, so I got it replaced out of pocket because I thought it way fault but it happened again after that. But this time I cought it in time. I just would like to see if the problem is being addressed or is it still being investigated.
