2015 Ram 1500 complaints

ABS communication failure has completely locked the transmission in Park, creating an immediate safety hazard, and that the manufacturer has failed to provide replacement part

The vehicle is experiencing an intermittent and unpredictable loss of power steering assist. The steering becomes extremely stiff and difficult to turn, often immediately upon startup or while at a standstill, then randomly becomes loose again before returning to a stiff state. This creates a significant safety hazard as the effort required to steer changes without warning during operation. Upon inspection, the electrical connectors to the EPS rack were found to be clean and free of corrosion, suggesting an internal failure of the Electronic Power Steering motor or control module. This issue is identical to the safety concerns addressed in NHTSA Recall 16V-167 (S19), but this specific VIN is not currently included in that recall.

The truck was working fine, went to start it and the trucks electric power steering was no longer working. We brought to shop and got an est of $3,000-$4,000 to fix the repair. We didnt have the money at the time and brought the truck home. It proceeded to work randomly after a turn but next start up failed to work and has been like this for a year. There is a warning like that comes on that says abs system.

Vehicles brakes became spongy and almost no brakes at random. They work enroute to destination, almost completely failed at the destination, and started working again after restarting the vehicle. Dealership confirmed it is the ABS module, and cannot aquire the part at this time. They warned me this could happen on and off anytime.

There is a recall for Ram 1500 manufactured between January 2015-September 2015 regarding failed power steering. My truck was manufactured February 2015 and was not on the list of specific Ram 1500s to have this recall done. I was with my kids getting an oil change on the truck. When I was leaving the maintenance bay my power steering suddenly failed and left us stranded to get towed. Chrysler stated that there was certain conditions that led for certain models to have recalls for this part, but not my truck. They could not give me a clear reason why mine was not included on the list.

There is a known issue about exhaust manifolds for my year model truck. A ram technician said in 2019 mopar created a new exhaust manifold for my truck that would be less likely to create soot buildup and warping in the exhaust manifold. In 2021 my EGR was replaced because of a recall but now my exhaust manifold has failed and needs to be replaced out of pocket even though it’s been a known issue and there was a remedy already made to alleviate the issue. Now because of soot buildup my throttle is limited until I have it fixed. But driving to a dealership is too far to be diagnosed as there has been cases of fires occurring when this issue occurs.

Abs warning lights on. Fault c2200. Cruise control inoperable. 4wd inoperable. No parts available for repair. A quick google search shows this is a very widespread problem. I urge you to hold ram accountable for this defective part.

Was driving thru and turning right when my steering just started pulling and had to turn other way to correct my trucks path and then it just wouldn't turn much and got real stiff.... Afraid to drive it anymore and seen this issue was being investigated... This issue almost got me and my 3 boys into a wreck!

Front strap on fuel tank is broken. It is a danger and being held in place by ratchet straps. It is also sagging.

Lost control of power steering pulled battery down and stalled vehicle

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the vehicle was started, and the ABS, traction control, and brake warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with ABS failure. The contact was informed that the ABS needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was informed that there was a national back order on the parts. In addition, recently, while driving approximately 60 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed, and the brakes seized, and the vehicle spun out in traffic. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 87,500.

Sudden loss of power steering at slow speeds. There was no warning lights prior to loss of power steering. I was able to avoid accident by moving quickly into a parking lot There is recalls for The EPS from 2013 to 2015 manufacturing date starting January 22nd of 2015 My truck was manufactured January 6th. There are two recall numbers s19 covers 2013 to2015 along with VB9 covers 2013 to 2019.

I am submitting this complaint to report a serious safety defect involving a high-pressure fuel system failure that occurred shortly after recall service was performed by an authorized dealership. The failure created a significant risk of engine compartment fire and potential loss of vehicle control. On March 25, 2025, my vehicle underwent recall service at Hall Ram Dealership for replacement of the high-pressure fuel pump. This repair required removal and reinstallation of the high-pressure fuel supply lines. These lines are torque-to-yield, single-use components that must be replaced once removed to ensure proper sealing under high operating pressures. On April 7, 2025, while driving at highway speed, the high-pressure fuel line connected to the pump suddenly ruptured. This resulted in an uncontrolled release of fuel into the engine compartment, creating an immediate safety hazard. Atomized fuel was exposed to high-temperature engine components, significantly increasing the risk of ignition and fire. The failure also posed a risk of sudden engine power loss. The vehicle required emergency towing. A review of the March 25 service invoice shows no documentation that the high-pressure fuel lines were replaced. This strongly suggests the original single-use lines were reused, contrary to OEM standards and accepted repair procedures. Reuse of these components can lead to sealing failure, fatigue, and rupture under pressure. This incident raises concerns regarding compliance with

Intermittent loss of power steering.

ABS module failing and Mopar doesn't have an available replacement.

I have a 2015 dodge ram 1500 slt 3.6 vvt I purchased the vehicle.I paid full price $18,768 when I first got the truck it has being ticking noise and in has a faulty oil pump also the truck was infected with roaches. I got the truck from dodge ram dealership in morrow ga they just vacuum out the roaches.I bring having problems with this truck since I got it.Any solution y’all going to fix this problem

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. While driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. Additionally, the “Service Electronic Throttle Control” message was displayed, and the vehicle went into LIMP Mode. While attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The contact stated that the failure had occurred while traveling out of state and was five hours away from home. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with a cracked tone wheel. The contact was informed that the tone wheel needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. Additionally, the contact referenced an unknown recall with a similar failure; however, the VIN was not associated with a recall. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 138,000.

Traveling at 60MPH on a highway in the middle lane when my truck lost complete power steering. It felt as if I had zero control over my truck at a high speed. I managed to slow down and made it onto the shoulder without crashing. Had my truck towed to Dodge Chrysler ram dealership. Before dropping it off I saw there were at least 10 recalls for my truck that I mentioned to technician. They plugged my truck into their scanner and the technician got in my truck and drove it right into the shop bay. I’m unsure how he was able to maneuver the truck after plugging it in. After diagnosing the problems with my truck they called to tell me that none of the recalls affected my vehicle and they weren’t repairing anything. My gas tank also detached from my vehicle while driving and I knew that was covered. Over a week arguing and proving they are responsible to repair it. They repaired the gas tank and refused to look into the rest of recalls. I could’ve died and hurt many others driving by the loss of power steering traveling at that speed. Truck was fine then randomly loses full control. There are open recalls for my exact truck with this exact issue. The dealership refused to acknowledge any of it.

The ABS module failed in June of 2025. Ram originally told me the part was on back order 6-8 months. In December they said there were 100 ABS modules on order for our area. In January 2026 they informed the mechanic that is doing the work that there is still parts on back order and it could be another 1-2 months. Today 2/25/26 the mechanic was told there are 265 modules on back order and it can be another 2-3 months. The truck now has a throttle body control issue that is stemming from the ABS issue. The truck is not operable at the moment because of this back order. I have been waiting for 7 months for this part and there are no alternatives on the market. If Ram does not get a part available for me I will either have to find a used one that hopefully isn't going to fail or be out of a $50,000 truck. This is a problem that many people have had according to all of the RAM forums. RAM needs to find a solution because the consumer already paid for the vehicle so parts should be available.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 80 MPH with cruise control engaged, the contact heard an abnormal sound. Upon deactivating the cruise control feature, the vehicle stalled. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to pull over to the side of the road, and after opening the hood, the contact noticed an oil leak. The vehicle was towed to Patriot Diesel, where it was diagnosed and determined that the EGR system and fuel system failures had caused catastrophic engine failure, and there was a hole in the engine. The mechanic determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel) and 19V757000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the dealer was at fault. No assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 115,000.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 MPH, the vehicle started shaking and lost motive power. The ETC warning light illuminated, and the message "Service Electronic Throttle Control" was displayed. The vehicle was stopped in a safe location and inspected. The vehicle was turned off and restarted, but it was difficult while cranking over. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the tone wheel had delaminated and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact associated the failures with NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V475000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

Code P200A and P2D2D showed up, linking to an intake manifold issue. After researching, shows connected to Recall VB1. After speaking with FCA Recall department, they said that the recall was completed. To my knowledge, the vehicle is having the same related issues as the state previous to the recall. FCA will not initiate another recall on my vehicle to resolve the issue the VB1 recall was supposed to address.

My electric power stear started to go in and out as I was driving. It got very hard to stear and as I was trying to turn would cone back on causing me to drive off the road into a ditch. Now dose not work at all

I have a 2015 Ram 1500, my experience is not unique and this issue is well known online. The ABS module (Part No: 68228991AD) is no longer working and my truck has been having an issue with this for about 3 years. The Parts departments in dealerships will typically say that the manufacturer is "looking" for a new contract parts supplier and say that a certain date is upcoming, but it always gets pushed further into the future. I have been without ABS for a long time for this reason. Since I have moved around, I have been unable to stick with a certain parts department for an extended period of time, but I have had this part on order with the current dealership near me for over 5 months, with no status update other than its on order. This seems like a large safety issue to me and I would like the regulator to do something about this.

ABS MODULE FAILED. MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE. A USED PART MAY BE NECESSARY AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPROGRAMMED TO MY VEHICLE AT ADDED EXPENSE. LOOKS TO ME THAT THERE ARE SO MANY RAM TRUCKS EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE AND SOME HAVE RECALLS, BUT 2015 MODEL I OWN IS NOT COVERED. WHY? HOW CAN THIS BE ALLOWED? PARTNO LONGER MADE? THAT IS UNBELIEVABLE. WE RAM OWNERS NEED HELP FROM NHTSA. HELP US PLEASE. IM A RETIRED MAN WHO NEEDS HIS VEHICLE.

Power steering became stiff and eventually quit. After driving to destination steering returned to very stiff condition. Risk safety involved a 20 mile curvy 2 lane road. I do not feel safe continuing to drive this vehicle.

Driving down the road and the steering wheel light came on and I slowed down and tried to turn and it was locked in position and had to have it towed. Now I'm stuck with no vehicle as mine is about 3 hours away from home. Waiting on parts to come in.

Stellantis has a recall for Loss of Crankshaft Position, Reference: 66A / NHTSA 23V-411. They did not include my truck in the recall but I have the exact same problem as verified by the dealer. The Recall Center will not answer the phone and reports errors when I call. The warranty center will not deal with this as it's a recall issue. The cost to repair all the parts is $8,745.75 without any coverage or recall support. The recall remedy was to flash the computer which would be a minimal cost but the dealer cannot do this unless my vehicle is added to the recall. The vehicle is in "limp mode" and is not safe for use while this issue persists. The problem became evident while starting the vehicle in the driveway.

ABS module failed and showed the warning lights. It happened ? years ago and I took it to dealership but still can not get the part to have repaired. This has affected the anti lock brakes, traction control and disables the cruise control. I have lost control coming to a stop light during a rain but luckily didn't hit anything during the slide. Hard to believe that they don't have a fix for this yet!

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle was serviced under NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V475000 (Engine and Engine Cooling), but the failure occurred. While driving 65 MPH, the vehicle jerked and started pulling, and the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal, before the vehicle stalled. The check engine and the Electronic Throttle Control warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was able to coast to the side of the road. The vehicle was restarted after several attempts. The contact stated that while driving to the residence, the vehicle went into LIMP Mode. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the tone wheel had failed. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The failure was a recurring failure, and the contact parked the vehicle due to the safety concerns. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 51,000.

After few hours of research I found a part number to order replacement fuel filter required for use from Recall 22v-406. After passed onto by FCA and reaching out to Mopar who passed me onto local dealer and research on various forums I found a part number 68632011AA for the fuel filter so I thought. I contacted dealer and was told no filter is available and no date when it will be available, so back to research to find part number CSSMZ462AA-001 in the recall listed, I tried to order online but was told to contact local dealer and they confirmed the number good and placed order. I received the part today to find filter and housing cap. the filter resembles previous filters used but does not have any MOPAR stamp on it says made in China but box is labeled MOPAR and says made in Korea. the date on box is 12/15/2023. Is an aftermarket filter being packaged as OEM filter for a recall?

Manifold bolts have been replaced 2 times. I am now experiencing a 3rd time,and can smell fumes in side of vehicle.

Good Moring. I have a 2015 and seems to be an on going problem with these years not. The ABS Module fails, turning off the ABS, trailer brakes, cruise control and lights on the dash. The other problem is you can not find any new modulars. the ABS block corrodes causing this part to fail. If you find a used one you can not program it to the vehicle. With this being a safety hazard and Dodge not having the part available I believe this should be a recall. The truck has a blue book of about 20k but with this part failing not only can I not do emissions due to the lights on the dash but it deems the vehicle worthless.

From 2009 and 2016 ram redesign there litters. I am now getting the lifter and loosing freeway speed. This issue should be a safety problem .mine ram is a 2015.

After having recall 22v-406 completed on November 24,2024 I am nearing time to complete a fuel filter change which after having this recall completed specifies a particular part number requirement and this fuel filter pn 68632011AA is not available anywhere, so now I am at risk for my filter getting clogged and my vehicle stalling and if a gas station gets gasoline put in the diesel tank and it gets put in my truck I cannot use my truck until the systems is drained, clean and filter replaced. Call any MOPAR dealer and ask for that part number and they will tell you not available and no timeline for it to be available.

The power steering was intermittently not working at slower speeds. This went on for 4 months. Now the power steering has completely stopped working which happened while driving making it extremely difficult to control.

My 2015 Ram 1500, Electronic Power Steering stopped working while driving on a two lane road putting myself and others in serious danger, the wheel abruptly became difficult to turn and maneuver the car, causing me to drift onto the shoulder. The car had to be towed as it was unsafe to drive, and once diagnosed by a mechanic the whole unit has to be replaced as they are not serviceable.

The main ABS module has an internal electrical failure and shuts down. The failure affects the ABS, Traction Control, Trailer brake system and Cruise control to all be inoperable until replaced. The Module is unavailable from dealership with no known date of arrival.

I am writing to request urgent assistance regarding a serious safety and service issue with my 2015 Dodge Ram, which has only 45,000 original miles. I recently took the vehicle to an authorized Dodge dealership after multiple dashboard alerts appeared, including: ABS Light On, Brake Light On, “Service Trailer Light,” “Service Antilock Brake System”, Service Electronic Braking”, “Service Trailer Brake System” The dealership diagnosed the problem as a faulty ABS Module. I was informed that the part would cost approximately $1,400, plus the cost of ordering the part, and that the part may take up to four (4) years or more to arrive—if it ever becomes available at all. I contacted multiple Dodge dealerships and received the same response regarding the extreme delay and unavailability of the ABS Module. I was also told that the vehicle is unsafe to drive in its current condition. This is especially concerning, as this is my only vehicle, and I cannot use it due to the safety risks. Despite this, Dodge customer service informed me that no assistance can be provided unless I first pay for and order the part, even though the part may not arrive for years. Additionally, the dealership is unwilling to buy back the vehicle at a reasonable price due to the unresolved ABS issue, leaving me without a safe, drivable vehicle and without support or alternatives. I have confirmed that there is no recall listed for this issue, yet the ABS Module is a critical safety component, and the lack of p

The vehicle starts but the steering wheel won’t move. It’s very stiff and takes two pairs of hands to turn it to the left or right.

Imediately following z46 recall my vehicle lost all motive power on the interstate. No warning lights etc. Dealer who performed recall took no responsibility and explained my engine has seized. My research has determined this.is common when the recall is not.properly.performed. I have documented evidence proving the recall was not performed. Dealer suggested I contact the manufacturer. Manufacturer has not helped and Dealer takes no responsibility. I've been told to replace the engine is 20 to 30 thousand dollars. This.is aproximately.what is still owed on the vehicle. The BBB and the aohio attorney generals office claim they cannot compel anyone to take responsibility. What am I supposed to do? I am a paying client to eveyone.envolved and now I'm supposed to countinue paying for a vehicle that is totaled. The manufacturer recomended I see another dealer. The next 2 closest dealerships refused to get involved saying it was the original servicing dealers and manufacturers problem and they did not want to be involved. Upon asking.the manufacturer who to take it to they claimed they cannot force there dealers to service a vehicle.

I was taking my family out to dinner when all of a sudden I kept hearing a rattle and something smacking on the bottom of my truck. I had people flashing their lights at me, so I pulled over into the nearest gas station and got underneath. To my surprise, the fuel tank was halfway hanging with the front strap. I looked where it goes and it's all corroded on the frame. I ratchet strapped it up in the meantime and turned back around and carefully drove home. I'm not sure how to go about my safety being at risk, I just know that a fuel tank falling/getting damaged because the OEM bracket strap on the frame corroding out is not something to take ever so lightly. Who knows what could of happened. The problem I guess is a big issue with 4th Gen RAM's all over the internet, so bad to the point that it went from a 3 year extended warranty until it was changed to a 12 year unlimited mile fix for a salt state such as where I'm located (MI). I have not had it inspected, due to if I have to drive on it, it's either going to get fixed or is already fixed. There were also no lights or indications besides hearing the noise and getting underneath for an inspection.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? ABS Control Module (Part Number 68228991AD). Failure of this part prevents the ABS system, trailer brake, cruise control, and traction control from functioning properly. Part is currently installed into vehicle and is not available for inspection. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Car no longer has ABS, traction control, trailer brake, or cruise control. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. This is a know issue with 2014-2016 Ram 1500s. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Yes. Following lights are on dashboard: Brake, Traction Control, ABS. OBD Code C2200 for internal module failure. Lights were first intermittent in the Summer of 2024. Came on permanently in early 2025. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION There is a design flaw in the ABS Module for these vehicles that causes them to malfunction. This issue affects thousands of Ram vehicles. The chip in the module that is defective is no longer being produced, and Stellantis is unable to provide replacement ABS modules at the rate they are needed. Thousands of these trucks are driving around with no ABS, T/C, etc or are sitting in shops waiting for a new module, a

Sudden & unexpected power assist failure of the electronic power steering system (EPS). It had an intermittent failure for approximately 3 seconds before total failure then the steering warning illuminated in the instrument cluster. I feel that this absolutely is a safety issue, as the steering is extremely difficult to operate without the rack being powered, much more so than old style power assist, say if the belt came off of an older generation power steering system. There are no OBD2 codes associated with this failure.
