2015 Ram 1500 complaints

AN ISSUE WAS NOTICED WITH MY 2015 RAM ECODIESEL BECAUSE OF A LARGE AMOUNT OIL WAS POURING OUT FROM UNDER THE TRUCK WHILE BRIEFLY STOPPED AT A STORE. ONCE THE ISSUE WAS NOTICED, THE ENGINE WAS IMMEDIATELY STOPPED. UPON INVESTIGATION, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT OIL WAS POURING OUT OF THE COOLANT RESERVOIR OVERFLOW AND IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE RESERVOIR WAS FULL OF OIL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED FOR SERVICE TO PREVENT THE POTENTIAL OF COOLANT GETTING INTO THE ENGINE OIL PAN AND/OR TO PREVENT THE ENGINE FROM LOSING OIL PRESSURE AND/OR ALL OIL. UPON RESEARCH ONLINE, IT WAS NOTICED THAT THERE WERE SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THE RAM ECODIESEL ENGINE HAVING OIL COOLER FAILURES. IT WAS CONFIRMED BY THE MECHANIC THAT THE OIL COOLER HAD FAILED IN MY RAM ECODIESEL ENGINE AS WELL. WITH ALL OF THE POSTINGS DISCOVERED ONLINE REGARDING FAILED OIL COOLERS ON THE RAM ECODIESEL ENGINES, IT IS BELIEVED THAT THERE IS A DESIGN/MANUFACTURING FLAW ASSOCIATED WITH THE OIL COOLER ON THESE ENGINES. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY ISSUES WITH THE RAM ECODIESEL ENGINES AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS ANOTHER ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE REMEDIED BY THE MANUFACTURER. INCLUDING INSTALLATION OF A NEW OIL COOLER, NEW COOLANT HOSES, RENTAL CAR, AND TOWING, THIS ENTIRE ISSUE COST ME $2,128.52.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THREE SEPARATE DEALERS AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY SAID NOT TO WORRY ABOUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT UNLESS IT STARTED TO BLINK. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE TRAVELLING UP A HILL AND DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART TO REBOOT THE COMPUTER TO REGAIN POWER. THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER HOMETOWN MOTORS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP (602 HIGHWAY 95, WEISER, ID 83672 208-549-6020) AND THEY RAN A CHECK ON THE COMPUTER. THEY SAID THERE WAS A LEAK FROM THE EXHAUST BUT RESCHEDULED THE APPOINTMENT FOR THE FOLLOWING WEEK. THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND IT BACKFIRED THEN BLACK SMOKE CAME OUT BOTH TAIL PIPES. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER AND FLAMES CAME OUT OF THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE BURNT TO THE GROUND. THE MANUFACTURER HAD AN INDEPENDENT INSPECTOR CHECK THE WRECKAGE AND ABSOLVED THEMSELVES AND THE DEALER OF ANY FAULT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE INCIDENT REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT'S WERE WAITING FOR A SETTLEMENT FROM THEIR INSURANCE COMPANY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

PURCHASED NEW: 08/03/2015 FIRST ENGINE FAILED 4/27/18 (WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY) TRAVELING 65MPH ON I-495 BELTWAY AND IN THE SPAN OF 10 SECONDS, ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, THE ENGINE MADE A TERRIBLE GRINDING NOISE, AND IT COMPLETELY DIED ON THE SHOULDER. EMISSIONS SETTLEMENT: 05/2019 (100K WARRANTY INFO FROM DATE OF EMISSIONS SOFTWARE UPDATE). DRASTIC LOSS IN MPG (5MPG), POWER, AND TURBO LAG AFTER EMISSION SOFTWARE UPDATE. SECOND ENGINE FAILED: 8/03/2020. TRAVELING 65MPH ON I-83. NO LIGHTS, ONLY A ENGINE KNOCKING SOUND. REROUTED TO DEALER 1 MILE AWAY, AND IT COMPLETELY DIED 1/2 MILE LATER. MAJOR RECALLS OVER THE SHORT LIFE OF THIS TRUCK, AND NOW FCA IS POTENTIALLY UNWILLING TO COVER THE COST OF THE 3RD ENGINE, EVEN THOUGH IT ONLY HAS ~30K MILES ON IT. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IN WRITING THE BLOWN ENGINE WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT THE NEW ENGINE WAS ON ORDER. THEN THEY TOLD ME THE FOLLOWING DAY THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED OR ORDERED. THE PART WARRANTY IS 2 YEARS (FOR A DIESEL ENGINE), WHICH I MISSED BY 2 MONTHS. I'VE ONLY BEEN DRIVING 1 WEEK OUT OF THE MONTH DURING COVID, SO THIS RECENT PROBLEM WOULD HAVE HAPPENED INSIDE THE 2-YEAR PART WARRANTY IF COVID HAD NOT HAPPENED. NOW I'M SPENDING MY OWN TIME AND MONEY TO PAY THE DIAGNOSTIC AND TOWING FEES FOR A 2ND RAM DEALERSHIP TO DO A FULL ENGINE TEARDOWN. I ALSO DON'T HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE, SO I HAVE HAD TO TAKE PERSONAL DAYS AT WORK WHEN I CAN'T BORROW VEHICLES FROM FAMILY. I PROVIDED FCA A LINK TO A FOLDER CONTAINING EVERY SERVIC

KEY FOB WILL NOT START ENGINE. IF YOU UNLOCK DOORS & BEGIN PROCESS AGAIN, IT USUALLY STARTS. FOB BATTERY HAS BEEN CHANGED SO WEAK BATTERY NOT LIKELY THE PROBLEM. PROBLEM BEGIN BEGAN ABOUT A MONTH AGO.HAPPENS A COUPLE TIMES EA WEEK.

HELLO I JUST SAW THE RECALL FOR.THE RAM 1500 NO :20V-475 WHICH IS A COMMON FAILURE PART ON THOSE TRUCK. ANOTHER MAJOR FAILURE PART ON THOSE TRUCK IS THE MAIN BEARING ON THE CRANKSHAFT. WHEN THEY FAIL THE BASE OF.THE MOTOR EXPLODE AND IS A TOTAL LOSS. FCA ADMITTED THE PROBLEM WHEN THEY CHANGE THE OIL GRADE. BUT THEY STILL FAIL ALOT. WHEN THEY FAIL THE TRUCK ALSO LOST ALL THE POWER SINCE THE ENGINE SUDDENTLY STOP WORKING AND SEND PIECE FLY UNDER THE TRUCK RISKING INJURY OTHER PEOPLE FOLLOWING. THEY ARE SEVERAL BEARING FAILURE OF THOSE ECODIESEL ENGINE. I DIDNT EXPERIENCE THIS BUT ONLINE THOSE BEARING ARE REFERED AS TICKING BOMB. NOBODY KNOW WHEN THEY FAIL, BUT THEY WILL EVENTUALLY. SOME PEOPLE HAD THIEIR MOTOR CHANGED UP TO THREE TIME. MOST OF THEM ARE 14-15 TRUCK SINCE THEY RUN ON OLD OIL SPECIFICATION. BUT THE 16-18 STILL FAIL . ACCORDING TO A STUDY ON A FAILED ENGINE , ITS SUPPOSED DUE TO A LACK OF BEARING LUBRIFICATION. THE OIL KEY AND HOLE GET CLUGGED ( MOSTLY BY SOOT PROBABLY FROM THE EGR ) SO THE BEARING WONT GET LUBRICATED , OVERHEAT, FAILED SEND THE PISTON AND ROD INTO THE OIL PAN, WHICH RESULT OF A CATASTROPIC FAILURE SEND OIL AND PARTS ON THE ROAD SOMETIME AT HIGHEAY SPEED, WHICH RESULT AS A PARTIAL BRAKE AND STEERING LOSS. SOME FAILED AT HIGHER MILLAGE SUCH AS 90 000 MILES AND SOME FAIL UNDER 20 000 MILES

RIGHT FRONT BRAKE CALIPER LOCKED UP CAUSING FRONT WHEEL TO SMOKE AND CREATE FIRE RISK. LEFT FRONT CALIPER LOCKED UP 10 MONTHS AGO CAUSING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HEAVIER SMOKE. I FILED A REPORT LAST YEAR FOR THE LEFT FRONT CALIPER.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY PULLING A SMALL 16 FT. CAMPER (I77 NB, MM ~68 IN NORTH CAROLINA), I NOTICED A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ALONG WITH OTHER WARNING LIGHTS, I TRIED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE ENGINE DID NOT RESPOND. I WAS ABLE TO PULL SAFELY ONTO THE SHOULDER AND POPPED THE HOOD WHERE I NOTICED FLAMES. I TOLD MY FAMILY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE AND TRIED TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES (WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER FROM MY CAMPER) TO NO AVAIL. WE CALLED 911 AND WAITED FOR THE FIRE CREW TO ARRIVE. THE VEHICLE IS A COMPLETE LOSS. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE (19V-757) REGARDING EGR ISSUES AND POTENTIAL FOR ENGINE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE LOCAL DEALER AND HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED ON MAY 18TH. THE RECALL WAS LISTED AS COMPLETE AND INSPECTED, HOWEVER AFTER REPORTING THE INCIDENT TO FCA, THE STATUS OF THE RECALL ON MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN CHANGED TO OPEN. ATTACHED YOU WILL SEE PHOTOS OF THE SHOP VISIT SHOWING RECALL COMPLETION. I ALSO HAVE A SCREEN SHOT OF THE INITIAL VIN LOOK UP ON 8/8/2020 SHOWING THE RECALL COMPLETED, HOWEVER THERE IS NOW AN UPDATE SHOWING THE RECALL AS OPEN, UPDATED ON 8/17/2020. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AS A RESULT OF THIS INCIDENT, HOWEVER I WAS QUICK TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, OBSERVE THE FIRE AND TELL MY FAMILY TO EXIT. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO FCA CASE [XXX] WHO HAVE SENT OUT AN INVESTIGATOR TO THE VEHICLE. FCA TODAY ISSUED ME A STATEMENT SAYING THE INFORMATION AT HAND DOES NOT PERMIT THEM TO ASSOCIATE THE FIRE WITH A MANUFACTURING OR ASSE

I ALMOST GOT T BONED/HIT BY A CAR WHEN I PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND THE TRUCK LAGGED AND FINALLY PICKED UP SPEED. THEN MY HUSBAND ALMOST GOT US T BONED/HIT WHEN HE PULLED OUT AND THE TRUCK LAGGED AGAIN AND WOULD NOT PICK UP. I HAD ENOUGH TIME TO YELL AT HIM TO GO AND HE SAID" I'M TRYING, I'M PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR BUT IT WON'T GO." THERE WAS A SAFE DISTANCE IN BOTH INSTANCES TO NORMALLY PULL OUT BUT THIS TRUCK IS A REAL DANGER TO DRIVE. I THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY AND JUST TRYING TO GET USED TO THE VEHICLE I HAD JUST PURCHASED. NEXT OCCURRENCE, I HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE TRUCK WITH ME AND WE HAD PICKED UP DINNER AND MILKSHAKES. I WAS GOING UP A SMALL HILL AND THE TRUCK LAGGED, YET AGAIN, WHEN IT DID PICK UP IT SPILLED THE MILKSHAKES IN MY SONS LAP. HE WAS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED AND MY DAUGHTER WAS TOSSED BACK IN THE REAR SEAT. THIS VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS AND I TOTALLY REGRET BUYING IT. I FEEL LIKE THIS WAS A HUGE MISTAKE. TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY, IT HAD A VERY LOUD FAN NOISE THAT I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT. NOW IT SMELLS LIKE AN ANTIFREEZE LEAK BUT I CAN NOT FIND IT. THE TEMP RAN HOT AND I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER. I DISCOVERED THE ANTIFREEZE LOOKED LOW, WE ADDED ANTIFREEZE. THE OIL WAS JUST CHANGED BY THE DEALER WHEN I PURCHASED IT. NO FLUIDS SHOULD BE LOW. THIS WAS A GIGANTIC MISTAKE OF A PURCHASE. NOW THAT I SEE THERE IS A RECALL, I ASSUME WE WILL DIE BY GETTING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE OR WE WILL DIE BY FIRE, TAKE YOUR PICK! I WAS A HUGE DODGE FAN SINCE I OWNED A 3500 BEFORE, THIS TRUCK

WHILE DRIVING THE VEICHLE WHEN TRYING TO MAKE A TURN ALL ASSIST WAS GONE.

VEHICLE HAVING A TICKING NOISE FROM TOP OF ENGINE AFTER LOW MILEAGE. THERE HAS BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS KIND OF PROBLEM. IT APPEARS THE PROBLEM IS BAD MANUFACTURED VALVE & CAMS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD CAUSE ENGINE CEASED ON HIGHWAY, I HAVE A V6 ENGINE, THE MANUFACTURE HAD FIXED LEFT SIDE UNDER WARRANTY, BUT NOW HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE RIGHT AND WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. I FEEL THIS SHOULD HAD BEEN A RECALL AND NOT WARRANTY DUE TO THE MANUFACTURE KNOWN THAT THEY HAVE THIS PROBLEM, THERE IS A LOT OF THE SAME COMPLAINT ON THE INTERNET , THEY ONLY REPAIRING IT UNDER WARRANTY OR NOT IF IT FAILS AND NOT ADDRESSING THE ISSUE. MY ISSUE HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY.

FOR OVER 2 YEARS PROBLEM OF NOISE (BEARINGS IN A GLASS JAR SOUND) HAS BEEN OCCURRING. TAKEN INTO 4 DEALERSHIPS WITH "WE CAN'T HEAR IT" - 8TH TIME OF BRINGING IT TO DEALERSHIPS ATTENTION AS OF THIS WEEK - ENGINE LOCKED UP & STOPPED IN A 6 LANE TRAFFIC 18 MOS AGO WITH BLOCK REPLACED - NOISE SITLL THERE, OPEN A TICKET WITH CHRYSLER 3 WKS AGO. TURBO CHANGED OUT (HOLE IN IT) NOISE STILL THERE, DROVE MY VEHICLE AND ONE ON THE LOT AND WAS TOLD NOISE IS JUST WHAT IT IS. MECHANIC COULD STILL HEAR IT BUT SERVICE MGR SAID NOTHING WRONG WITH TRUCK "DRIVE FOR 2 WKS AND BRING BACK IF NOT HAPPY. NOISE IS COMING FROM THE HALF SHAFT AT 2000/2400 RPMS VIBRATION IN WALLOWED OUR RING. WORRIED OF BEING STRANDED WITH FAMILY ON THE ROAD/SAFETY ISSUE. HISTORY IS UNDERVIN#. FIELDS CHRYSLER IN ASHEVILLE KEPT VEHICLE FOR 3 WKS. 2015 ON THEIR LOT THAT WAS TRADED IN BECAUSE OWNER WAS CONCERN W/SAFETY AND COULD NOT STAND THE NOISE ANY LONGER. NOISE NOT THERE WHEN PURCHASED NEW - STARTED END OF 2017. THIS IS ALSO WHEN I QUESTIONED ENGINE ISSUES AND HAD ENGINE LOCK UP 18 MOS AGO AFTER BEING IN AND OUT OF DEALERSHIPS. LUCKY TO BE ALIVE

FUEL SENSOR FAILURE, WITHOUT ANY WARNING FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY WHILE IN MOTION, NOT KNOWING THE CAUSE HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TO SEE IF THERE WAS A LEAK OR PUNCTURE. RESEARCHING THE INTERNET THIS SEEMS LIKE COMMON PROBLEM THAT RAM WILL NOT ADDRESS .

REAR DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEMS. WHINING NOISE HAPPENING ON A TAKEN CARE OF VEHICLE. HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING. DUE TO ISSUES AND RECALLS OF OTHER YEARS I AM WONDERING IF THAT IS THE CASE FOR THIS YEARS MODEL AS WELL. HAS THIS BEEN LOOKED INTO AS A PROBLEM ON THE 2015 RAM SINCE PREVIOUS AND FUTURE YEARS HAD THE ISSUE

RESOLUTION TO REPLACE LEMON VEHICLE IS NOT BEING MET. THIS VEHICLE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED IMMEDIATELY TO ASSIST IN THE RECOGNITION OF MORE APPLICABLE RECALLS NOT PREVIOUSLY INVESTIGATED.

WINDOW MOTOR ALSO WENT OUT DRIVER SIDE AND IT WAS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE IS FIVE YEARS OLD WITH 37,000 MILES WHY SO MANY ISSUES. WAS THERE A RECALL FOR ALL THIS PROBLEMS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER STEERING ASSIST AND BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GOLDY AUTO LOCATED AT 187 KINETIC DR, HUNTINGTON, WV 25701, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE STEERING RACK WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V167000 (STEERING).

POWER STEERING HAS STARTED TO TURN HARD AT TIMES WHEN TURNING CORNERS. IT WILL TURN A LITTLE BIT FINE AND THEN BECOME EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN FOR ABOUT 6 INCHES ON THE STEERING WHEEL. IT WILL DO THIS 3 TIMES OR SO DEPENDING ON HOW SHARP YOU TRY TO TURN. IT HAPPEN A COUPLE TIMES LAST MONTH THEN WENT AWAY AND DROVE FINE. TODAY IT STARTED AGAIN. I WASN'T SURE I WAS GOING TO GET TURNED. IT HAS NOT GONE AWAY AS OF NOW. I JUST WENT OUT AND CHECKED. WE STATIONARY YOU CAN FEEL IT GRABBING A LITTLE. WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY IT CAN BE VERY TOUGH TO TURN. I HAVEN'T TRIED TO MAKE ANY SHARP TURNS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BUT AFTER EXITING THE INTERSTATE ON AN EXIT RAMP WITH A CURVE. AFTER TURNING THE WHEEL A FEW INCHES I CAN FEEL MORE TENSION THAN NORMAL. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A FAULTY ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ASSIST THAT I SEE THERE IS A RECALL ON BUT NOT ON MY TRUCK.

AFTER THE RECALL AND NEW UPDATE FOR FUEL MILEAGE RATING. THERE IS A DELAY IN THE THROTTLE/TURBO WHEN APPLYING THE GAS PEDAL. THIS HAPPEN WHEN YOU ARE BETWEEN 10MPH AND 15MPH AND ARE AT A SLOW ROLL AND APPLY THE GAS. THEN ALL THE SUDDEN THE TRUCK WILL TAKE OFF AND REV WAY UP.

8HP70 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION FAILED @68,000 MILES. TOWED 5800 LB TOYHAULER FROM ABILENE TX TO RENO NV. WAS TAKING A DAY TRIP TO LAKE TAHOE (RV PARKED IN SPARKS) WHEN THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN SKIPPING GEARS. RECEIVED A U0102 CANBUS ERROR. CLEARING THE ERROR ALLOWED THE TRANSMISSION TO CONTINUE OPERATING BUT ONLY FOR A FEW MILES. FINALLY DROPPED IT OFF AT LITHIA CHRYSLER ON SATURDAY. FACTORY WARRANTY EXPIRED ON SUNDAY (5TH JULY 20) SO FCA WILL NOT HONOR POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. USED MY EXTENDED WARRANTY TO COVER THE TRANSMISSION BUT HAD TO PAY $470 EXPEDITED SHIPPING FEW. SUPPOSED TO GET TRUCK BACK FRIDAY. SO WE ARE STRANDED IN RENO WITHOUT A TRUCK.

MY VEHICLE WITH UNDER 70K MILES RECENTLY PURCHASED FROM A USED DEALER HAD A SEVERE PROBLEM THE GAS GAUGE SHOWED EMPTY A FEW MINUTES AFTER SHOWING 1/2 TANK I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A GAS STATION AND WAS NOT STRANDED ON THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AS TO IMPEDE TRAFFIC AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. WHEN I REFUELED AT THE GAS STATION IT SHOWED IT WAS NOT COMPLETELY EMPTY AS I WAS LEAD TO BELIEVE BY THE CLUSTER. AND THROUGH SEVERAL DISCUSSIONS AND DIAGNOSING IT WAS BELIEVED TO BE A FAULTY PART IN THE FUEL SYSTEM THAT TENDS TO FALSELY SHOW EMPTY.

RECENTLY COMPLETE THE AEM EMISSIONS FLASH NOW MY TRUCK HAS A SERIOUSLY THROTTLE DELAY UP TO 7 SECONDS, I EITHER SLUGGISHLY PULL INTO TRAFFIC AND HOPE NOT TO GET T BONED OR GIVE MYSELF AND PASSENGERS WHIPLASH WHEN I HAVE TO DEPRESS THE THROTTLE IN ORDER TO MAKE THE TRUCK MOVE. THIS OCCURS EVERY MORNING AND AFTERNOON WHEN GOING TO AND LEAVING WORK. AND THROUGHOUT DAY WHEN RUNNING ERRANDS. MANUFACTURE STATES THIS COULD BE CAUSED BY THE EMISSIONS UPDATE THEY PERFORMED.

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE "DEATH WOBBLE" ANYTIME A BUMP IS HIT WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 40 MPH +, ON THE FREEWAY THE WOBBLE IS SO BAD THAT RECENTLY MY TRUCK BEGAN SWERVING ALL OVER THE ROAD AND ALMOST WENT OFF-ROAD, UNTIL I COULD REGAIN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. A BUMP ON A TURN IS MUCH WORSE. I AM SO FEARFUL OF THE UNSAFE SHAKING OF THE FRONT END WHILE DRIVING HIGHER SPEEDS THAT I NOW AVOID THE FREEWAYS AND TAKE ALTERNATE ROUTES IF POSSIBLE.

I CANNOT GET ASSISTANCE OR ALLOWED TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR OR THE CASE MANAGER. I AM JUST WANTING TO ENSURE THAT MY FILE IS COMPLETE. I ALSO WISH TO KNOW APPROXIMATELY WHEN I WILL RECEIVE MY CHECK. CASE # [XXX]. A 2015 RAM 1500 DIESEL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT'S SON OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V757000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MICHIANA CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT (120 W MCKINLEY AVE, MISHAWAKA, IN 46545; 866-984-0064) WHERE THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE EGR HOWEVER, THE INTAKE MANIFOLD WAS NOT INSPECTED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT AND INTAKE MANIFOLD FAILURE MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

ON 10/31/2019 , FCA ISSUED RECALL VB1/NHTSA 19V-757 , FOR A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZZARD ON 2014- 2019 RAM 1500 TRUCKS WITH THE ECODIESEL ENGINE. THEY DID NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM , AT THAT TIME. IN EARLY APRIL OF 2020, I RECIEVED ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE, STATING PARTS WERE NOW AVAILABLE , AND TO CALL MY DEALER , TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE RECALL COMPLETED. WHEN I CALLED , THE DEALER SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS, BUT WERE EXPECTING THEM TO BE SHIPPED SOON. THEY PUT ME ON A WAITING LIST, AND SAID THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN THE PARTS ARRIVED. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER EVERY MONTH SINCE THEN, AND THEY STILL TELL ME, THEY CAN'T GET THE UPDATED PARTS, TO DO THE RECALL ON MY TRUCK. I CALLED, TWO DIFFERENT FCA DEALERS ON 6/18/2020, AND I'M GETTING THE SAME RESPONSE FROM THEM, NO PARTS AVAILABLE. MY TRUCK IS NOW, FIVE YEARS OLD, AND HAS 53K MILES, TWO OF THESE LEAKING EGR COOLERS, HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. I NOW HAVE A CASE NUMBER WITH FCA, AND HAVE BEEN TOLD, MY DEALER WILL HAVE MY TRUCK REPAIRED SOMTIME IN EARLY JULY. THESE UPDATED PARTS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE AVAILIBLE TO FIX THE 2014 AND 2015 TRUCKS.THESE TRUCKS SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN OFF THE ROAD. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WAIT THIS LONG TO HAVE THIS DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE FIXED.

THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING DOES NOT WORK ON STARTUP WHEN THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE IS 65 DEGREES OR LOWER. THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND THE POWER STEERING DOESN'T WORK. SOMETIMES WHEN LEFT RUNNING TO WARM UP FIRST AND THEN TURNED OFF AND THEN BACK ON THE POWER STEERING WILL WORK. SOMETIMES, THE TRUCK NEEDS TO BE DRIVEN A FEW MILES TO FULLY WARM UP THEN STOPPED, TURNED OFF AND STARTED BACK UP, THEN THE POWER STEERING WILL WORK. THIS WASN'T MUCH OF A PROBLEM WHEN I AM IN FLORIDA WHERE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK, BUT I AM VISITING IN MICHIGAN NOW IN JUNE WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE STILL GETTING DOWN AS LOW AS THE FORTIES AT NIGHT. THE PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED ONE WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK. THE DEALERSHIP I HAVE TAKEN IT TO HERE IN MICHIGAN WANTS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE POWER STEERING UNIT FOR ALMOST $2900 WHICH I DON'T UNDERSTAND BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING WORKS FINE WHEN IT IS WARM ON STARTUP. SO FAR, THE POWER STEERING HASN'T GONE OUT WHILE DRIVING. *TR

UPON PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND ONTO A DIVIDED HIGHWAY ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC THE TRUCK MADE NOISES AND THE ENGINE DIED, LEAVING ME TO COAST BACK INTO THE NEXT PARKING LOT ENTRANCE WHILE HOLDING UP TRAFFIC. THE FAILURE TURNED OUT TO BE THE CRANK SHAFT POSITION TONE RING. THE DESIGN OF THIS TONE RING IS A STAMPED STEEL WHEEL WITH MAGNETIC MATERIAL ADHERED TO THE RIM, IT APPEARS THAT HEAT AND TIME CAUSED THE MAGNETIC MATERIAL TO CRACK AND FAIL. ONCE A PIECE OF MAGNETIC MATERIAL CAME OFF, THE MOTOR NO LONGER HAS A PROPER CRANK POSITION SIGNAL AND WILL STOP RUNNING. ANOTHER DESIGN CONSIDERATION IS THAT THE TONE RING IS INACCESSIBLE WITHOUT REMOVING THE TRANSMISSION AND FLEXPLATE, THIS RENDERS IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO CHECK THE CONDITION OF THE TONE RING TO AVOID A FAILURE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PARKING BRAKE CABLE WAS SAGGING, AND FAILED TO RELEASE THE PARKING BRAKE TO DISENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT. THE CONTACT MANUALLY PULLED THE PEDAL INSIDE THE VEHICLE FOR THE LIGHT TO DISENGAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FREEHOLD DODGE & RAM (299 SOUTH ST, FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP, NJ 07728), AND WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PARKING BRAKE CABLE WAS RUSTED AND CEASED IN PLACE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,400.

ON MAY 31, 2020 I WAS TRAVELING FROM BALTIMORE, MD TO SAN ANTONIO TEXAS ON IH 85 SOUTH NEAR LEXINGTON, NC IN THE MIDDLE LANE AT 60 MPH WHEN MY VEHICLE TOTALLY SHUT DOWN TO A STOP. TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY BUT I SAFELY PULLED OFF TO THE SHOULDER AND CALLED FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. WE WAITED 3 HOURS BEFORE WE GOT A CAPABLE TOW FOR THE TRUCK AND THE U-HAUL WE WERE TOWING. THE TOW COMPANY TOWED MY TRUCK TO M&L CHRYSLER DODGE RAM DEALERSHIP IN LEXINGTON NC. THE NEXT MORNING ABOUT 8:00 AM, I CALLED THE CHRYSLER DODGE RAM DEALERSHIP FOR THE RESULTS OF THEIR DIAGNOSTICS. AROUND 11:00AM I CALLED BACK TO CHRYSLER DODGE RAM DEALERSHIP. THEY INFORMED ME THEY THINK THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM AND THEY NEEDED TO ORDER THE PARTS AND IT WOULD TAKE A FEW DAYS AND THAT IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE EMISSIONS RECALL V08 WARRANTY. *TR

EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS ARE CONTINUOUSLY BREAKING OFF CREATING HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS. EXHAUST MANIFOLD GASES ARE LEAKING DIRECTLY INTO ENGINE BAY AROUND THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. UNFILTERED EXHAUST GASES ARE BYPASSING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS AND PASSING STRAIGHT TO THE ATMOSPHERE. CHRYSLER IS REFUSING TO ADDRESS THE SITUATION AND CHARGING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX IT EVERY TIME IT BREAKS. THE ISSUE ALSO THROWS THE VEHICLE COMPUTER INTO AN OPEN LOOP DUE TO FAULTY O2 READINGS NEGATIVELY IMPACTING FUEL AND PERFORMANCE CAUSING FURTHER POLLUTION AND EMISSIONS NEGATIVELY IMPACTING ENVIRONMENT AND HEALTH OF OCCUPANTS. AFTER CHARGING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO 'FIX' THE ISSUE THEY MERELY REPLACE BROKEN PARTS WITH THE EXACT TYPE AND MATERIAL THAT FAILED PREVIOUSLY. THE MANIFOLD/EXHAUST ISSUE IS INDEPENDENT OF ANY VEHICLE MOTION OR DRIVING CONDITION. RUNNING THE ENGINE IN ANY CONDITION WILL CAUSE THE FAILURE DUE TO DISSIMILAR METALS USED AND DIFFERENCE IN METALS MOVEMENT AS IT HEATS AND COOLS. PRESENTLY THIS IS THE 10TH BOLT BROKE OFF. IT HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY SINCE OWNING VEHICLE. *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL FROM FCA RECALL VB1. I CALLED THE DEALER ON MAY 15TH. THEY SAID TO BRING IT IN ON MONDAY MAY 18TH. I CALLED ON MONDAY AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD NO PARTS UNTIL JUNE 1ST. I CALLED ON JUNE 1ST TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AND HE TOLD ME THERE ARE NO PARTS UNTIL JUNE 12TH!. THIS RECALL IDENTIFIES THAT THE EGR COOLER CAN LEAK COOLANT INTO THE MOTOR THAT COULD CAUSE A VEHICLE FIRE. IN THE LAST 8 WEEKS I HAVE PUT IN 6 GALLONS OF COOLANT.THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE I HAVE TO COMMUTE TO WORK IN.I DO NOT NEED LIP SERVICE I NEED IT FIXED NOW! *TR

WHILE TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT THE STEERING WAS LOOSE IN SPOTS AND THEN TIGHT IN SPOTS. IT MADE TURNING AND PREDICTING AMOUNT OF FORCE REQUIRED TO TURN UNPREDICTABLE AND DANGEROUS AS YOU MAY NOT TURN QUICK ENOUGH GOING INTO A TURN OR OVERSTEER INTO A TURN. DEALER WAS TO FIX, BUT NEW RACK AND PINION AND STEERING BOX MADE IT WORSE. *TR

RANDOMLY LOSES POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT 66700 MILES. THE FUEL GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY. THE WARNING BOX POPPED UP AND SAID FUEL SENSOR FAILURE. IT WAS ABOUT 3/4 FULL WHEN IT HAPPENED. ALSO WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE ECONOMIZER STOPPED WORKING. BASE ON A INTERNET SEARCH THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL MADE ON THE VEHICLES! THE FACT THAT YOU LOSE YOUR ECONOMIZER CAUSING INCREASED FUEL CONSUMPTION AND THERE BY WASTING GAS SHOULD SEND A WARNING FOR THIS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. THANK YOU FOR TIME. *TR

THE EGR HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE FOR AWHILE NOW. THE TRUCK ISN'T THE SAME AS WHEN I BOUGHT AND I FEEL I PURCHASED A LEMON. IT DOESN'T NOT MEET MY EXPECTATIONS AND I FEEL I HAVE LOST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. *TR

FAULTY AIR SUSPENSION, THIS IS A VERY, VERY COMMON ISSUE IN RAM TRUCKS. DRIVER FRONT WENT DOWN, THEN BACK END. THE LIGHT CAME ON TO FIX AIR SUSPENSION. ITS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH SUSPENSION DOWN. THE FACT THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF TRUCKS OUT THERE WITH THIS ISSUE AND NO RECALL IS REALLY UNCALLED FOR. THEY CONTINUE TO FAIL SEVERAL TIMES OVER AND OVER AGAIN. IF THERE'S NO RECALL I WOULD HAVE TO IMAGINE THERE WILL BE A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT. EVERY MECHANIC I'VE TALKED TO IS IN DISBELIEF THAT THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. *TR

WHEN FIRST START UP STEERING VERY HARD TO TURN AND WHEEL NOT RETURNING TO CENTER LIKE ITS SUPPOSED TO / ALSO FEELS LUMPY SOMETIMES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V757000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. DWAYNE LANE'S CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (10515 EVERGREEN WAY, EVERETT, WA 98204) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE ENGINE LIGHT COME ON THEN THE WARNING COME UP FUEL SENSOR FAIL THE GAS GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY.FIRST STARTED DOING IF GOING UP A HILL ABOUT A MONTH AGO. NOW IT WILL GO OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL AND COME BACK ON WHEN I HAVE A HALF A TANK. IT HAS 72000 MILE ON THE TRUCK.. I SEE ALOT OF PEPOLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND WONDERING WHY DODGE IS NOW DOING A RECALL ON IT?

NHTSA 19V-757 WAS ISSUED FOR THE REFERENCED VIN 24OCT19. I HAD AN EGR COOLER FAILURE ON 27AUG19 THE EGR COOLER WAS REPLACED BY GRAPEVINE DODGE, CHRYSLER, JEEP RAM WITH THE ATTACHED PART NUMBER BEFORE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED, AND WAS THE ONLY PART AVAILABLE AT THE TIME. I RECIEVED NOTICE OF THE RECALL 24OCT19 AND LEARNED THE REDESIGNED PART WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL APRIL 2020. AS OF THIS WEEK, FCA INDICATES THIS RECALL AS BEING COMPLETED ON MY VEHICLE. THE NEW REDESIGNED EGR COOLER HAS NEVER BEEN INSTALLED ON MY TRUCK. AFTER POSTING THIS TO A RAM ECODIESEL FORUM, I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER RAM ECODIESEL OWNERS THAT HAVE BEEN ISSUED THE RECALL, AND NOW HAVE BEEN MARKED COMPLETE WITHOUT THE RECALL BEING PERFORMED. THE DEFECT RELATED TO THIS RECALL RESULTED IN VEHICLE FIRES IN MANY INSTANCES, AND COULD POSE A THREAT OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I APPEARS TO ME THAT FCA IS TRYING TO GET OUT OF PERFORMING THIS SAFETY RELATED RECALL. *TR
