2015 Ram 1500 complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION DEFLATED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BECOME DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT BECAME DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE ALIGN WITH THE ROAD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF EFFORT WAS NEEDED TO STEER THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CONTACTED HERITAGE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF LOGAN (2900 N MAIN ST, NORTH LOGAN, UT 84341, (435) 752-0050) WHO STATED THAT THE SUSPENSION AIR BAGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,000.

RANDOMLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WITH A PASSENGER IN THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT THE SEAT BELT ASSOCIATED WITH THAT SEATING POSITION WILL BECOME UNBUCKLED. THIS IS RANDOM AND HAPPENS REGULARLY WITH DIFFERENT PASSENGERS WITHOUT THE PASSENGER TOUCHING THE LATCH MECHANISM.

ELECTRIC STEERING QUITS WORKING AND THE STEERING WHEEL GETS HARD TO TURN, IT'LL BE FINE THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'LL QUIT WHILE TURNING OR DRIVING STRAIGHT

WHILE DRIVING THE SHIFTING IS HARD AND DOESN'T SEEM TO KNOW WHICH GEAR IT WANTS TO BE IN AT TIMES, WHEN PUT ON OBD SCAN GIVES P2704 CODE, HAVE CHECKED PLUGS, FLUID LEVELS, REPLACED SPEED SENSORS, AND STILL GIVING SAME PROBLEM, ALSO I HAVE TRIED TO HAVE KEY FOBIC PROGRAMED AND ALL IT WILL DO IS START, WILL NOT UNLOCK OR LOCK WITH CORRECT FOBIC, GIVES CODE FOR RADIO FREQUENCY HUB, I KNOW THE RECALLS HAVE BEEN CHECKED BUT THINK THEY DID NOT TAKE.

VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEED. COMPLAINED TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND WAS IGNORED. I AM A MECHANIC WITH 35+ YEARS EXPERIENCE. I AM ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THAT THE PROBLEM IS IN THE DRIVELINE AND NOT IN THE WHEELS/TIRES. THE VIBRATION CAUSES THE TRUCK TO EAT THE TIRES. I AM UNDER 65,000 MILES AND ON THE FIFTH SET OF TIRES. FOUR DIFFERENT BRANDS OF TIRES. I'VE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. I DISCUSSED A TSB WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS IGNORED AGAIN. AFTER HAVING MY TRANSMISSION REPAIRED AT THE DEALERSHIP UNDER WARRANTY, THE VIBRATION HAS GOTTEN WORSE. I AM REASONABLY CERTAIN THE VIBRATION CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM THAT I RECENTLY HAD TO HAVE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY.

W58 RECALL. STILL NO REMEDY. SCARED TO DRIVE TRUCK DUE TO SAFETY

POWER STEERING NOT SAFE, LOCKED UP. REACTS THE SAME WAY A POWER STEERING PUMP WOULD ACT OF LOW OR BLOWN. IN RESEARCH LOOKS LIKE THERE WAS ALREADY A RECALL FOR SAME YEARS AND MODELS FOR THIS SAME THING BUT MINE WASN'T INCLUDED. HOWEVER MY STEERING LOCKED UP AND HARD TO TURN. NOT SAFE.

DODGE/RAM HAS KNOWLEDGE OF A FAULTY FUEL SENSOR FAILURE ON RAM TRUCKS THAT CAN CAUSE A DRIVER TO BECOME STRANDED DUE TO A SUDDEN LOSS OF FUEL LEVEL READINGS. THE SENSOR IS PRONE TO FAILURE AS EARLY AS 20,000 MILES. THERE ARE LOTS OF ONLINE NEWGROUP COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AND DODGE/RAM HAS REPRESENTATION ON THOSE GROUPS, AS WELL, SO THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. MY VEHICLE IS JUST OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY WITH 70,000 MILES AND THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR HAS FAILED THROWING A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND A DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P0463 FOR 'FUEL LEVEL SENSOR 'A' CIRCUIT HIGH. THE OUT OF POCKET COST TO REPAIR THIS IS SUBSTANTIAL, AND THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE PRONE TO THE FAILURE, AS WELL.

THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON A RURAL HIGHWAY, HAPPENED SUDDENLY, AND LEFT US STRANDED WHEN WE RAN OUT OF FUEL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, AND SHOULD

RELUCTOR WHEEL/ SENSOR FAILURE UNDER RECALL W58. I AM TOLD NO POSSIBLE FIX UNTIL AFTER APRIL 1, 2021. OVER 4 MONTHS OFF THE ROAD FOR A RECALL ANNOUNCED 7 MONTHS AGO. DEALER AND FCA HAVE OFFERED NO REMEDY.

POWER STEERING FAILED TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY. LOSS OF POWER STEERING WAS MORE PREVALENT DURING FREEZING CONDITIONS. THIS HAS CAUSED UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS AND WAS EXPERIENCED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BOTH IN A STATIONARY POSITION AND IN MOTION. THE CERTIFIED RAM DEALERSHIP STATED THE CAUSE WAS A FAULTY POWER STEERING GEAR BOX.

MY DODGE RAM 1500 ECO DIESEL CAUGHT ON FIRE YESTERDAY AND BURNT UP. THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT FOR THE SEIDEL EGR COOLER

POWER STEERING CONSTANTLY IS GOING IN AND OUT. SOMETIMES FOR A DAY OR TWO, SOMETIMES EVERY OTHER TURN, AND SOMETIMES EVERY TURN IS HALF POWER STEERING AND HALF NOT (KIND OF LIKE PULSING). I'VE HAD 2 RACK AND PINION REPLACEMENTS WITH STILL ONGOING ISSUES. THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR MY YEAR TRUCK, BUT MY TRUCK IS NOT APART OF IT EVEN THOUGH I'M EXPERIENCING THE EXACT ISSUES OF THE RECALL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE SITTING IDLE AND THE BRAKE DEPRESSED WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED FORWARD. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THEY HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM ACCELERATING. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER IN THE VEHICLE THAT WAS CRASHED INTO RECEIVED INJURIES AND MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED HOWEVER THE VEHICLE HAD TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE'S WHEELS TO UNLOCK AND MOVE ONTO THE FLATBED. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE DEALER (STEVE WHITE MOTORS 3470 US HWY 70 SE, NEWTON, NC 28658, (828) 464-3458) WHO INFORMED THEM THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE HOWEVER THEY WERE UNABLE TO ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,238.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS VEHICLE WAS IDLE, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO OVERHEAT AND WHITE SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM THE ENGINE WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE TO PREVENT IT FROM CATCHING ON FIRE. THE CONTACT THEN CALLED AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO ARRIVED AND INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN ABNORMAL CLICKING SOUND WAS COMING FROM THE ENGINE SINCE EXPERIENCING THE FAILURE. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 72,000.*DT*JB

P0364 FUEL SENSOR FAILURE. GAS INSTRUMENT GAUGE SUDDENLY GOES EMPTY WHILE IN MOTION AND NO LONGER WORKS. DEFECTIVE FUEL SENDING UNIT SENSOR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO HAVE FAILING PARTS INSIDE GAS TANK.

THE AIR SUSPENSION ON MY 2015 RAM 1500 HAS BEEN FAILING (BLOWING FUSES WHILE DRIVING, FREEZING UP AND FAILING TO INFLATE BEFORE STARTUP) EACH WINTER FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS. AS MENTIONED ABOVE, THE SYSTEM CAN FAIL WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, DUE TO BLOWN FUSES FROM AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN THE SYSTEM. IT ALSO CAN JUST FAIL TO INFLATE ON COLD DAYS. THE SYSTEM APPARENTLY WAS NOT INSTALLED WITH AN AIR DRYING CAPABILITY CAUSING THESE ISSUES ABOVE AND THIS SHOULD BE EXPECTED IN COLDER CLIMATES. THE AIR SUSPENSION IS A 'CLOSED' SYSTEM, BUT WAS BUILT IS CAPABLE OF PULLING IN AIR FROM THE OUTSIDE UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS (MEANING IT IS NOT A CLOSED SYSTEM). GIVEN THE FACT THIS ABILITY WAS INCORPORATED INTO THE SYSTEM, AN AIR DRYING SYSTEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED AS WELL. IT IS A CRITICAL SAFETY CONCERN WHEN THE SYSTEM FAILS TO INFLATE THE AIR SUSPENSION AND FCA SHOULD HAVE KNOWN IT WOULD FAIL. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECALL REIMBURSING PEOPLE FOR THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH FIXING FAILURES OF THIS SYSTEM (COMPRESSOR AND AIR BAG FAILURES) AS WELL AS THE INSTALLATION OF A REMEDY (FULL REPLACEMENT) TO PERMANENTLY FIX THE SYSTEM.

AEM UPDATE CAUSED VEHICLE TO PERFORM IN AN UNSAFE MANNER. HESITATES UPON ACCELERATION FROM STOP. TRANSMISSION SHIFTS IRREGULAR AND NO LONGER SLOWS VEHICLE DOWNHILL. DURING ACCELERATION MOTOR CAN REDLINE AND CAUSE A RAPID DECELERATION. NEVER SURE EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN PRESSING THE FUEL PEDAL. NEVER SURE IF IT WILL SAFELY GO WHEN IT IS SUPPOSED TO. FUEL ECONOMY IS ALSO REDUCED FROM 28 MPG TO 25 MPG. IT IS NOW A SCARY VEHICLE TO DRIVE. WAS IN RIGHT LANE EASTBOUND ON HIGHWAY 152 GOING OVER PACHEO PASS BEHIND SLOW TRUCK TRAFFIC AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE WHILE CHANGING LANES THE MOTOR WENT TO REDLINE AND DEPOWERED. I QUICKLY HAD TO BRAKE AND GET BACK IN THE RIGHT LANE BEHIND THE TRUCK TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE HAD NEVER DONE ANYTHING LIKE THAT IN THE 4-1/2 YEARS PRIOR TO THE AEM. THEY RUINED MY TRUCK WITH THE MODIFICATIONS, IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE TRUCK SHUTS OFF POWER WHEN ACCELERATING.

I HAD SAFETY RECALL U74 DONE IN JULY 2018 , IN MY TAILGATE . THE PROBLEM IS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. AND I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. MY ISSUE IS HOW IS A SAFETY RECALL OUT OF WARRANTY AND TAT I HAVE TO FIX ON MY OWN NOW ? I AM SO UPSET AT THE TREATMENT . THIS SHOULD BE COVERED AGAIN.

WHAT IS A TIMLY MANNER FOR A RECALL TO BE DONE BEEN WAITING SINCE AUGUST 2020

THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING DOWN THE ROAD AS I'M DRIVING THE TRUCK JUST LOOSES ALL POWER CUTS OFF AND I HAVE TO JERK IT TO SIDE OF THE ROAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. IT'S THE TONE WHEEL FOR CRANKSHAFT AND CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR. AND WHEN TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP THEY HAVE NO PARTS TO FIX MY TRUCKS AND I WAS GIVEN A CASE WORKER WITH FCA OR DODGE AND THEY CAN'T GET THE PARTS IT'S BEEN 3 MONTHS.

ON OCTOBER 1, 2020, MY TRUCK STALLED WHILE PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND WOULD NOT RESTART. A YOUTUBE VIDEO LINK IS PROVIDED AT THE END OF THIS DESCRIPTION. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP EVER SINCE. TODAY (DECEMBER 7, 2020) MARKS 68 CONSECUTIVE DAYS OUT OF SERVICE FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THE TRUCK REMAINS UNDRIVEABLE. THE PROBLEM WAS IMMEDIATELY DIAGNOSED AS A BAD CRANK POSITION SENSOR AND TONE RING. THESE SAME PARTS WERE RECALLED UNDER 20V-475 (FCA RECALL W58) BACK IN AUGUST. I RECEIVED WRITTEN NOTIFICATION OF THE RECALL APPROXIMATELY 1 WEEK AFTER MY TRUCK FAILED. FCA AND BIG O DODGE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPAIR MY TRUCK IN A REASONABLE TIME, AND ARE UNWILLING TO PROVIDE A FAIR TRADE-IN VALUE OR DISCUSS BUYPACK. THIS, DESPITE THE TRUCK BEING PART OF THE ECODIESEL CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT THAT REQUIRES FCA TO BUYBACK TRUCKS THAT EXPERIENCE >30 DAYS OUT OF SERVICE DURING THE 18 MONTHS FOLLOWING THE EMISSIONS MODIFICATION SOFTWARE.

AFTER FUELING, THE GAS NOZZLE CONSTANTLY GETS STUCK IN THE TRUCKS FILL TUBE. IT TAKES SEVERAL MINUTES TO PRY IT OUT. THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH DODGE 1500 TRUCKS.

MY VECHICLE RECENTLY DID NOT START JUST GOT A DEAD CLICK WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED WITH A JUMP START BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECK THEY TOLD ME THERE NO CODES IN THE SYSTEM TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM ASKED ME TO LEAVE THE VECHICLE TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM REACCURED BUT IT DID NOT. 2 DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED I WAS 50 MILES FROM HOME I WAS ABLE TO GET VEHICLE STARTED TO IT TO THE DEALER GOT THE SAME DIAGNOSIS NO CODES AND THEY CAN DETERMINE THE CAUSE SO NOW I HAVE A VECHICLE THAT I DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL START WHEN I GET IN IT . I CALLED RAM CUSTOMER CARE AT 18009921997 AND WAS TOLD THE DEALER FOLLOWED THERE PROTOCOL AND WITH OUT CODES OR REPLICATION OF THE ISSUE IT CAN NOT BE FIXED. I FIND THAT TO BE ABSURD THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE A ISSUE WITH THERE VECHICLE AND I'M LEFT TO BE THE GUINEA PIG. I HAVE FAMILY AND TRAVEL TO WORK NOT KNOWING IF I WILL BE STRANDED WHEREVER I AM NOT A GOT OR SAFE SITUATION. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP WITH THIS ISSUE

MY VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 94. I WAS WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD TODDLER AND HAD TO WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK AND MY WIFE TO PICK US UP. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED BACK HOME TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC TO LOOK AND DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THE DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A CRANK SENSOR TONE RING. THEY ALSO NOTIFIED ME THERE WAS A RECALL COMING FOR THIS ISSUE. I CONTACTED FCA AND WAS DIRECTED TO TOW THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED DEALER. I TOWED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE DEALER AND THEY DETERMINED THE ISSUE IS THE SAME AS MY LOCAL MECHANIC DETERMINED. I AM ALSO BEING TOLD THERE IS CURRENTLY NOT A FIX FOR THIS PART, ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. FCA SAID THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR ANY OF THE TOWING AND DIAGNOSTICS. SINCE IT WAS THERE FAULTY PART THAT CAUSED ME TO BECOME STUCK ON THE SIDE OF AN INTERSTATE I AM LOOKING TO BE COMPENSATED FOR THE REPAIRS, DIAGNOSTICS, AND TOWING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I WILL BE WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR "QUITE AWHILE" ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. THE FCA RECALL NUMBER IS W58.

IVE RECEIVED SOME RECALLS ON MY 2015 RAM. THE EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) COOLER AN EGR COOLER WITH AN INTERNAL CRACK WILL INTRODUCE PRE-HEATED, VAPORIZED COOLANT TO THE EGR SYSTEM WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, THIS MIXTURE INTERACTS WITH OTHER HYDROCARBONS AND AIR IN THE SYSTEM, POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN COMBUSTION WITHIN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD, WHICH MAY LEAD TO A VEHICLE FIRE.ALSO DAMAGING THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. IVE BEEN WAITING 4 MONTHS FOR THE PARTS, IN THE MEANTIME THE INTAKE IS GETTING DAMAGED. THE OTHER RECALL THE MAGNETIC MATERIAL ATTACHED TO THE TONE WHEEL PROVIDES A SIGNAL TO THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. IF THIS SIGNAL MATERIAL IS LOST, THE ENGINE LOSES ITS ABILITY TO SYNCHRONIZE INJECTOR PULSES AND CAM TIMING. THIS LOSS OF CRANKSHAFT POSITION CAN RESULT IN AN ENGINE STALL, AS WELL AS LOSS OF THE ABILITY TO RESTART THE ENGINE.THE REMEDY IS TO UPDATE THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE TO MAINTAIN VEHICLE PROPULSION BY READING THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SIGNAL IN THE EVENT THAT CRANKSHAFT POSITION SIGNAL IS LOST. HOW IS UPDATING SOFTWARE GOING TO PREVENT SOMETHING FROM COMING APART WHY NOT REPLACE THE PART.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL BANGING SOUND DETECTED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR AXLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT CALLED ADDY'S HARBOR DODGE RAM FIAT (4849 US-501, MYRTLE BEACH, SC 29579, (843) 492-7348) HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED HOWEVER, NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE CONTACT STATED THE FAILURE WAS LIKE THE FAILURE LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V661000 (POWER TRAIN). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 67,500.

THE VEHICLE SUSPENSION FAILS AT RANDOM TIMES AND THE TRUCK BOUNCES VIOLENTLY, BUT NOT ALL CORNERS OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH CAUSES ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE SWERVING. THE SUSPENSION THEN RIDES ON THE BUMP STOPS AND HITS ALL BUMPS VERY HARD. SOMETIMES YOU CAN STOP, SHUT DOWN AND RESTART, LET THE VEHICLE IDLE FOR A FEW MINUTES AND IT WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AND IT CAN HAPPEN VERY SWIFTLY. SO FAR I'VE MANAGED TO CONTROL IT, BUT AM AFRAID THAT SOMETIME WHEN TOWING MY TRAVEL TRAILER IT WILL CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL AND BE THE CAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT WITH POSSIBILITY OF SERIOUS INJURIES. I SELECTED A DATE BELOW, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TO 20 TIMES! YOU DON'T GET THE OPTION TO PICK MULTIPLE DATES. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL RAM DEALERS AND NONE SEEM TO HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. FIAT CHRYSLER MUST ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR VERY SERIOUSLY INJURED. I HAVE NO DOCUMENTATION BECAUSE THE DEALERS ADMIT THEY HAVE NO IDEA, SO I HAVEN'T TAKE IT IN. ONLINE FORUMS FOR RAM INDICATE THAT THERE ARE MANY TRUCKS EXHIBITING THESE SYMPTOMS. ONCE WHEN IT HAPPENED I WAS TOWING MY TRAVEL TRAILER (APPROXIMATELY 6,000 LBS.) AND IT SWERVED SO VIOLENTLY THAT MY WIFE SCREAMED AND THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO CRASH!

2 DIFFERENT TIMES WHEN I START MY TRUCK THERE IS NO POWER STEERING, TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM. THERE IS A RECALL ON SOME TRUCKS SAME YEAR AND MAKE BUT MY TRUCK'S VIN # DOES NOT FALL WITHIN RECALL #'S ALTHOUGH IT IS HAVING SAME PROBLEM AS RECALL- COMPANY WILL NOT COVER.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS ONCE THE TRUCK IS PUT IN PARK IT WILL JUMP INTO REVERSE. THIS HAS CAUSED TWO ACCIDENTS. THE FIRST ONE CAUSED DAMAGE TO MY GARAGE DOOR, AND THE SECOND ONE CAUSED DAMAGE TO SOMEONE'S VEHICLE.

THE VEHICLE ENGINE GOT ON FIRE. THE CAUSE WAS A DEFECT ON DIESEL EGR COOLER.

MY RAM 1500 TRUCK HEMI ENGINE STARTED WITH A TICKING SOUND, THEN DEVELOPED INTO A STALLING ISSUE AND A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISPLAY. THE DODGE RAM DEALER SAID IT IS AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE LIFTERS AND REQUIRES THE DISMANTLING OF THE ENTIRE ENGINE TO FIX. THE SERVICE WRITER ADVISED ME THAT THIS WAS A DANGEROUS CONDITION, AND IF NOT REPAIRED THE ENGINE WOULD BLOW UP! I DID SOME RESEARCH AND THIS ISSUE IS RAMPANT OF THE RAM TRUCKS WITH THE HEMI ENGINE. THERE ARE MANY VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE DISCUSSING THIS PROBLEM, AND THE MECHANICS ON THESE VIDEOS SAY THAT THIS PROBLEM IS EXTREMELY WIDESPREAD. THE REPAIR WOULD COST OVER $ 6,000. I HAVE SAVED SOME OF THE VIDEOS AND WILL GLADLY SHARE THEM WITH YOU IF NEEDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 RAM 1500 ECO DIESEL. THE CONTACT RECEIVED RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER:19V757000(ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER HENDRICK CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT WILMINGTON (219 S COLLEGE RD, WILMINGTON, NC 28403). WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 55 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED HE STOPPED AND CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND SAW NO VISIBLE ISSUES SO HE CONTINUED TO DRIVE HOME. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN HE PULLED INTO HIS DRIVEWAY THE BRAKES FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED HE GOT OUT AND NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT STATED HE TRIED TO PUT THE FIRE OUT HIMSELF WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER. HOWEVER, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND PUT THE FIRE OUT. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS AT HIS RESIDENCE AND CURRENTLY WAITING FOR THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000.

SEVERAL EXHAUST MANIFOLD TO ENGINE BOLTS HAVE BROKEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V475000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT CONTACTED BOB RICHARDS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (1666 JEFFERSON DAVIS HWY, GRANITEVILLE, SC 29829; (803) 663-9500) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE THROTTLE FAILURE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE SAME DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO THE RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

I NOTICED A STALE SMELL COMING FROM THE BACK OF THE CAB THAT WOULD COME AND I WOULD ENCOUNTER A STALE SMELL THAT WOULD COME AND GO AWAY. I GOOGLED THESE IF ANYONE ELSE WITH THE SAME TRUCK WAS HAVING THIS ISSUE. I CAME ACROSS SOMEONE AND THEY STATED TO CHECK UNDERNEATH THE BACK SEAT AND SURE ENOUGH IT WAS WET FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. I THINK IT IS COMING FROM THE THE REAR BODY EXHAUST VENTS THAT ARE NOT SEALING PROPERLY.

WATER IS LEAKING INTO THE LEFT HEADLIGHT HOUSING WHICH CAUSES THE TURN SIGNAL TO MALFUNCTION, SIGNIFICANT FOGGING AND CONDENSATION IN THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY UNIT WHICH REDUCES VISIBILITY FROM THE HEADLIGHT AND CAUSES AN ERROR MESSAGE. THIS ISSUE IS CONSTANT SINCE IT BEGAN AND HAS NOT IMPROVED. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND IS A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OR MANUFACTURE OF THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS SON WAS DRIVING AT 70 MPH, AN ABNORMAL ODOR APPEARED AS FLAMES WERE UNDER THE HOOD. THE DRIVER MERGED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND EXITED THE VEHICLE WHEN IT ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED MINOR BURNS TO BOTH LEGS. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CONTACTED AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE POLICE TOWED THE VEHICLE TO THE CONTACTS HOUSE WHERE IT WAS PENDING AN INSPECTION BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE DEALER BUCKALEW CHEVROLET (1100 I-45 S, CONROE, TX 77301) WAS CONTACTED WHERE THE CONTACT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON AUG 7,2020 AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE REPAIR WAS PREVIOUSLY COMPLETED FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V757000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT A TECHNICIAN WOULD COME OUT TO HIS RESIDENTS BUT NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 130,000.*DT*JB

UNABLE TO OPEN THE DRIVERS DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. CHEAP DESIGN CABLE AT THE HANDLE BROKE. VERY COMMON PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN NOT BEING ABLE TO GET OUT IN THE EVENT OF A WRECK OR FIRE. I WAS JUST TRYING TO GET OUT AFTER PARKING. NO TRAMA OR DAMAGE.
