2015 Ram 1500 complaints

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V302000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED (BEBBY BOYD DODGE IN GONZALEZ, TX) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD. THE TRANNY DOES IT SOMETIMES. IT COULD BE WARM OR COLD. ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE ITS RACING BEFORE SHIFTING. DEALERSHIP SAYS I HAVE TO WAIT FOR A LIGHT COMES ON OR A MESSAGE. 3 TIMES I TOOK IT IN FOR THAT PROBLEM . NOW 2DAYS AGO ...AS I WAS TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY THE TRUCK POPPED INTO PARK. I WAS TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY. NOW WHAT'S THAT ALL ABOUT???? NOW....NO ONE CAN GIVE ME A STRAIGHT ANSWER. I HATE TO GIVE THIS UP AND GO BACK TO FORD.

THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK THERE WAS A THUMP SOUND WHICH CAUSE THE TRUCK TO STALL CAUSING TRUCK TO SLOW DOWN INSTANTLAY. HOWEVER IT DOES THIS FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN IT WILL ACCELERATE AND CONTINUE ON DRLIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES EVEN AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT IT HAS NO CERTAIN SPEED THAT IT WILL DO IT. IT JUST HAPPENS RANDOMLY WITH NO SPECIFIC SPEED WHEN IT HAPPENS. IT HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE AND ON A REGULAR HIGHWAY ROAD THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE IN SPEED EACH TIME.

VEHICLE WAS RUNNING AND LEFT IN PARK. WENT IN REVERSE AND CRASHED INTO A COLUMN.

HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING 2 TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK. THE FIRST TIME THE RADIO AND DASH CLUSTER STOPPED WORKING THEN THE TRUCK ENGINE SHUT OFF DOING 80 DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE SECOND TIME IT WAS JUST THE ENGINE THAT SHUT OFF DOING 60 MPH ON A 2 LANE ROAD

ECO DIESEL ENGINE HAS BEEN SERVICED THREE TIMES FOR "ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL" FAILURE. ONCE IDIOT LIGHT COMES ON TRUCK LOSES ALL POWER. CURRENTLY IN DEALERSHIP TO BE SERVICED AND I'M BEING TOLD THAT CHRYSLER IS UNAWARE OF A CURRENT FIX. THE FIRST TIME IN WAS TOLD THAT A HOSE HAD TO BE REPLACED. SECOND TIME THAT IT WAS A PROGRAMMING UPDATE, NOW THEY DON'T KNOW.

ON 6/12/17 I BACKED OUT OF MY GARAGE AND SHIFTED THE TRUCK INTO PARK.(ELECTRONIC ROTARY DIAL SHIFTER MOUNTED ON DASH) I EXITED THE TRUCK TO RETRIEVE AN ITEM IN THE GARAGE, LEAVING THE TRUCK RUNNING. MY 10 YEAR OLD SON, WHO WAS INSIDE THE TRUCK, SCREAMED TO ALERT ME. I OBSERVED MY TRUCK IN MOTION MOVING FORWARD TOWARD MY GARAGE.(NOT COASTING AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL BUT RATHER IN DRIVE). I ATTEMPTED TO GET BACK INTO TRUCK TO APPLY BRAKE BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE TRUCK IMPACTED THE EXTERIOR OF MY GARAGE BETWEEN THE DOORS WITH MY SON INSIDE THE TRUCK. HE WAS SEAT BELTED AND UNINJURED, PHYSICALLY. UPON ENTERING THE TRUCK I OBSERVED THE GEAR SELECTOR TO BE IN PARK. I IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED INTO REVERSE BACKING UP APPROXIMATELY 15-20 FEET. I SHIFTED THE TRUCK INTO PARK AND AGAIN EXITED THE TRUCK TO SURVEY THE DAMAGE. THE TRUCK AGAIN BEGAN MOVING FORWARD AS IF IN DRIVE. I WAS ABLE TO APPLY THE BRAKE REACHING IN WITH MY HANDS TO DO SO. I AGAIN OBSERVED THE TRANSMISSION TO BE IN PARK. I SHUT THE IGNITION OFF AT THIS POINT. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THIS EVENT I ATTEMPTED TO REPLICATE IT IN MY DRIVEWAY APPROXIMATELY 20-30 TIMES, SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO PARK AND LETTING MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. I WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE IT IN THESE ATTEMPTS. MY TRUCK SUSTAINED JUST OVER $3,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE. I HAVE NOT AT THIS TIME GOTTEN AN ESTIMATE FOR THE DAMAGE TO MY HOME. THE MAJOR CONCERN I HAVE PERTAINS TO THE FACT MY SON WAS INSIDE THE TRUCK AND MY DAUGHTERS PLAYING NEARBY WHEN THIS EVENT OCCURRED. LATE

2015 DODGE RAM 1500. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT UNABLE TO REPAIR VEHICLE HEADLIGHT ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD FLICKER AND GO OUT WHILE ON HIGH OR LOW BEAMS. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. *JS

TAKATA RECALL- I WAS IN A HEAD ON COLLISION, WHERE I T-BONED A LADY THAT CUT ME OFF WHILE GOING APPROX. 40MPH. AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED.

I WAS BACKING MY TRUCK TO HOOK UP TO TRAILER I STOP TRUCK PUT IN PARK FROM REVERSELEFT MOTOR RUNNING GOT OUT STARTED WALKING TO BACK OF TRUCK WHEN THE TRUCK STARTED GOING FORWARD . I TRIED TO CATCH ITI GOT DOOR ALMOST OPEN WHEN I WAS CRUSHED BETWEEN MY TRUCK AN A PARKED FORD PICKUP I WENT TO HOSPITAL FOR CT SCAN LUCKY ONLY HIP CONTOSTION . DONE LOTS OF DAMAGE TO BOTH TRUCKS . I BELIEVE THE TRANSMISSION WENT INTO GEAR ON ITS ON ME GETTING HURT WAS MY FAULT FOR TRYING TO STOP TRUCK . I WAS IN MY ON YARD WHEN THIS HAPPEN.

APRIL 14, 2017 MY HUSBAND WAS HEADING EAST ON I-20 IN THE TYLER, TEXAS AREA LOCATED IN SMITH COUNTY TEXAS.APPROACHING HIS TURN OFF AT HWY 14. WHEN EXITING ON THE RAMP HE NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. HE LOOKED AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND HE BEGAN LOSING POWER. HE WAS ABLE TO PULL TO A LARGE PARKING AREA AWAY FROM OTHERS. HE GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND APPROACHED THE HOOD WHEN HE NOTICED FLAMES COMING FROM THE ENGINE. HE BACKED AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE AT THAT TIME AND CALLED 911. OUR VEHICLE IS NOT A TOTAL LOSS. LAST FALL WE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM $6500 WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 20,000 MILES ON IT. NOW AT LITTLE OVER 30,000 MILES IT'S A TOTAL LOSS. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRSYLER AND THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO SEND INSPECTORS TO SEE IF THEY CAN DETERMINE THE CAUSE. INSURANCE INSPECTORS ARE ALSO COMING THIS WEEK TOO. I'VE READ A LOT OF NEGATIVES FOR THIS TRUCK AND SAW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 4X2'S FOR WIRING ISSUES THAT COULD SHORT AND CAUSE A FIRE. OUR TRUCK WAS A LONE STAR 4X4 AND NOT UNDER THIS RECALL. I THINK THESE VEHICLES NEED TO BE LOOKED AT HARDER!! TOO MANY ISSUES FROM TOO MANY OWNERS.

THE STEERING VIBRATIONS ARE GETTING WORSE AND WORSE. I CALLED SAN ANTONIO DODGE FROM WHICH I PURCHASED THE TRUCK AND GAVE THEM THE RECALL NUMBER AND THE VIN NUMBER AND WAS TOLD THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE AT THEIR LOCATION AND TO WAIT FOR THE SECOND RECALL LETTER. I TOLD THEM (HER) THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND RECALL LETTER, SO I WAS FOREWARDED TO AN "ADVISOR" WHO NEVER PICKED UP THE PHONE. I LEFT A MESSAGE AS TO MY PROBLEMS, MY NAME AND PHONE NUMBER. THE DATE IS 3/29/2015 AT 5:10PM. I WANT TO DOCUMENT MY EFFORT TO CLEAR THIS PROBLEM AND THE RESPONSE I AM GETTING FROM THE SAN ANTONIO DODGE DEALERSHIP. NOTE: I HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO VIBRATE AT ABOUT 73MPH AND GETS WORSE AS THE SPEED INCREASES TO THE POINT THAT THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO SHAKE THE FRONT END MECHANISM LOOSE. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE AT THE START BUT IS PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE TO THE POINT THAT IT IS BECOMING A SAFETY HAZARD. THE PROBLEM STARTED APPROXIMATELY AT 17,000 MILES AND CONTINUES TO GET WORSE AT 19,000 MILES.

MY 2015 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL HAS LOST FUNCTION OF THE GAS PEDAL THREE TIMES. EACH TIME THE LOSS IS PRECEDED WITH A "SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL" MESSAGE. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM IN THE FIRST 2 SERVICE ATTEMPTS AND THE ISSUE HAS OCCURRED WITHIN 200 DRIVING MILES, MOSTLY HIGHWAY. THE FIRST 2 TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, MOVING UNDER 30MPH AND GENERALLY DECELERATING UNDER BRAKING. THE 3RD TIME THIS OCCURRED I WAS TRAVELING 70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY WITH MODERATE THROTTLE INPUT AND THE THROTTLE COMPLETELY LOST FUNCTION. THIS RESULTED IN THE NEED FOR AN EMERGENCY EXIT FROM THE FREEWAY WHILE COASTING WITH NO CONTROL OF THE THROTTLE, A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO SAY THE LEAST. THE DATE ENTERED BELOW IS THE DATE OF THE LAST OCCURRENCE ON THE FREEWAY.

WE WHERE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT THE CONSOLE DISPLAY SAID TO PLACE THE VEHICLE INTO PARK. THE DASHBOARD THEN LOST POWER AND SMOKE STARTED TO COME OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD IT WAS A LIGHT GRAY AT FIRST BUT QUICKLY CHANGED TO BROWN AND THE FLAMES WHERE COMING OUT. I HAD JUST ENOUGH TIME TO GET OUT AND GET MY 6YR OLD SON OUT OF HIS CAR SEAT AND THEN CALL 911. WITHIN A COUPLE OF MINUTES THE ENGINE WAS IN FLAMES.

WHILE AT HOME DEPOT I REMOTE STARTED MY TRUCK AND PLACED LUMBER IN THE BED. I PROCEEDED TO THE DRIVER'S DOOR AND WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR THE TRUCK WENT IN REVERSE KNOCKING ME TO THE GROUND CAUSING A LACERATION REQUIRING 8 STAPLES, CONCUSSION, LOWER BACK AND SHOULDER PAIN AND BRUISING. THE TRUCK CONTINUED ACROSS THE PARKING LOT HITTING A FORD RANGER CAUSING MAJOR DAMAGE, CONTINUING INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE GMC CM3500 CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE. MY LARAMIE SUFFERED MAJOR DAMAGE TO REAR BUMPER, TAILGATE, AND REAR DRIVER SIDE PANEL. WE ARE JUST LUCKY THERE WERE NO OTHERS WALKING IN THE AREA AT THE TIME. MY 2015 LARAMIE HAS A ROTARY SHIFTER AND IT WAS IN PARKED POSITION AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. I FEEL THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE ROTARY SHIFTER WHICH CASED THIS ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN.

AFTER DIRECT FRONTAL IMPACT TO REAR OF STATIONARY SEMI TRACTOR TRAILOR ON AN INTERSTATE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC THE DRIVER STRUCK STEERING WHEEL WITH SEAT BELT ON RESULTING IN MODERATE INJURY REQUIRING TRANSPORT TO EMERGENCY ROOM FOR EVALUATION BUT NOT HOSPITALIZATION. SPEED ESTIMATED AT ABOUT 30 MPH. EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO FRONT END OF VEHICLE. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. SEE PICTURES.

"TAKATA RECALL" RAM 1500 ; 2015 YEAR. I THINK HAVE A MANUFACTURE DIFFECT . AFTER 6 MONTH OF DRIVING RAM 1500 , LIGHT IS ON " CHECK ENGINE" TRACK STILL HAVE MANUFACTURE WARRANTY, I' BE BEEN THREE TIMES AT SERVICE THEY DIDN'T FIXED IT.MY FRIEND HAVE SAME PROBLEM WITH RAM 3500 ;2015YEAR. IS THERE ANY BODY HAVE SAME PROBLEM?

A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING THE TRUCK, I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF THREE RECALLS,AIR BAGS, LEFT REAR AXEL, AND MIDDLE COMPARTMENT DOOR.

KEEP GETTING "SERVICE GEAR SELECTOR" MESSAGES. DEALER CHECKED AND REPLACED SELECTOR AND LESS THAN A WEEK LATER I GET THE SAME PROBLEM AND WORSE. WHEN I SHIFTED TO REVERSE, THE "R" KEPT FLASHING AND A WARNING CAME ON. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE UNTIL I MOVED THE SELECTOR AGAIN. THE WARNING MESSAGES HAPPEN BOTH IN MOTION AND WHILE AT A STOP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SIGN AT 5 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH THE DRIVER SIDE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE SPUN AROUND AND FLIPPED ONTO THE DRIVER SIDE. THE SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, BUT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED CHEST INJURIES AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE RIBS, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE INJURIES TO THE OTHER DRIVER WERE UNKNOWN.THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW LOT AND AWAITING INSPECTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

TAKATA RECALL I PURCHASED MY TRUCK IN JULY 2015 FROM LITHIA CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM OF WASILLA, ALASKA. WHEN PURCHASING MY TRUCK THE DEALERSHIP KNEW THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE BARGED OUT TO MY LOCATION - I LIVE IN RURAL ALASKA AND YOU MUST EITHER FLY OR TAKE A BOAT TO GET TO MY TOWN. I GOT THE TRUCK BARGED TO MY TOWN OF KING SALMON, ALASKA JUST IN TIME TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY LET ME KNOW THAT THEY WOULD BE TRAINING THEIR MECHANICS ON HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND THEN WOULD FLY ONE OF THE MECHANICS OUT TO MY TOWN COME FEBRUARY 2016. I WAITED FOR AN UPDATE AND NEVER GOT ONE. OF COURSE, ALL OF THIS WAS OVER THE PHONE WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM AND NOW A YEAR AND HOWEVER MANY MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL I AM BEING TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT FLYING SOMEONE OUT TO KING SALMON TO FIX THE ISSUE. BARGING A VEHICLE COSTS $2500 ONE WAY AND TAKES ABOUT THREE WEEKS AND IS ONLY OPEN DURING A CERTAIN SEASON WHEN OUR RIVER ISN'T FROZEN. THERE IS NO WAY THAT I CAN BARGE MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEN BACK TO ME WITHOUT IT COSTING ME $5000 OR SO AND LOSING MY TRUCK FOR TWO TO THREE MONTHS. IT IS NOT REASONABLE AND I SHOULD NOT BE FAULTED WHEN THE DEALERSHIP IS THE ONE THAT SOLD A FAULTY VEHICLE. WINTER CAN BE ROUGH ON VEHICLES IN ALASKA AND ROAD CONDITIONS CAN CERTAINLY BE TREACHEROUS AND I NEED TO BE ABLE TO RELY ON MY VEHICLE TO GET ME SAFELY FROM ON PLACE TO ANOTHER. AND IN THE EVENT OF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE STOPPED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

PLEASE SEE COMPLAINT I SENT TO CHRYSLER WITH DOCUMENTS. YOUR LIST BEFORE ONLY LET ME SELECT 4 TOPICS THAT I WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH. *TR

PURCHASED BRAND NEW DODGE 1500. HEADLIGHTS FLICKER WHEN ON (GO ON AND OFF) DEALERSHIP STATED IT HAS SEEN THE SAME ISSUE ON DIFFERENT DODGE RAM TRUCKS SAME AND DIFFERENT YEARS. ALSO TIRES HAVE BEEN WEARING EXTREME. WARRANTIED ONCE BUT ISSUE CONTINUES TO OCCUR. WARRANTIED 2ND TIME 3 OF 4 TIRES NOW TRUCK PULLS DRASTICALLY LEFT INTO OTHER LANEA OF TRAFFIC. HAVE CONTACTED DODGE/CHRYSLER NUMEROUS TIMES WITH NO RESOLVE. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND DOCUMENTATION ON FILE WITH CHRYSLER AND DODGE DEALERSHIP. HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ENCOUNTERS BOTH IN PERSON AND ON PHONE.

THE TRUCK STARTED ROLLING WHILE BEING PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS BEHIND THE TRUCK AND NO PROPERTY DAMAGE HAD OCCURRED. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURIES OR DAMAGE. PARKING SHIFTER AND/OR RELEVANT EQUIPMENT MUST BE RECALLED AND REPLACED BY MANUFACTURER. THE INCIDENT HAS BEEN RECORDED BY SURVEILLANCE CAMERA AND CAN BE PRESENTED UPON REQUEST.

THE HEADLAMPS ARE TOO DIM, CAN'T SEE AT NIGHT. ALL THE TIME

TRUCK ROLLED AWAY DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND INTO THE ROAD WHILE IN PARK. DID NOT CAUSE ANY DAMAGE BUT IS UNSAFE FOR KIDS PLAYING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

ON NOVEMBER 05, 2016 AT APPROXIMATELY 1230 HOURS I WALKED OUT TO MY RAM 1500 PICK UP TRUCK, WHICH WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND STARTED IT UP. I PULLED THE TRUCK FORWARD IN MY DRIVEWAY APPROXIMATELY A FULL TRUCK LENGTH, PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK AND EXITED THE TRUCK, LEAVING THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR OPEN. THE TRUCK WAS LEFT IDLING. I BEGAN TO WALK TO THE REAR OF MY TRUCK, WHERE A FRIEND WAS STANDING NEAR MY FLATBED TRAILER. THE PLAN WAS TO HOOK THE TRAILER UP TO THE TRUCK. AS I WAS WALKING TO THE REAR OF MY TRUCK, I OBSERVED THE TRUCK ROLLING BACKWARDS. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED AROUND AND BEGAN TO RUN BACK TO THE TRUCK. AS THE TRUCK WAS ROLLING, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR CAUGHT THE TIRE OF THE VEHICLE PARKED NEXT TO IT. AS I JUMP BACK IN THE TRUCK I CHECK THE SHIFT INDICATOR AND OBSERVED IT TO BE IN PARK WHILE ROLLING. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS THEN PUSHED BACKWARDS AND INTO THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT FENDER. I THEN STEPPED ON THE BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE STEERING LOST POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE, SERVICE SHIFT, AND ABS INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE "PCM OFF" WARNING MESSAGE ALSO ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE BECAME STUCK IN FIRST GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE FAILURES WERE NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,700.

I PUT THE 2015 RAM 1500 INTO PARK AND REMOVED THE KEY, WHEN I STEPPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE IT STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS DOWN MY DRIVEWAY. I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK INTO THE VEHICLE AND APPLY THE BRAKE. I PUT THE KEY BACK INTO THE IGNITION AND THE PARK INDICATOR LIGHT WAS ON. I PULLED THE VEHICLE FORWARD AND PUT IT INTO PARK AGAIN, WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE IT BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AGAIN. I APPLIED THE BRAKE AND PULLED THE VEHICLE FORWARD AGAIN, I PUT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK, THIS TIME THE VEHICLE STAYED IN PARK AND DID NOT ROLL BACKWARDS.

WHILE BOTH DRIVING, ACCELERATING, STOPPED, STARTING, SLOWING AND PARKED, THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS SPECIFICALLY THE LIGHTS THAT ILLUMINATE THE DASH BOARD ON THE RPM AND SPEEDOMETER GAUGES, START BLINKING (LIKE A STROBE) WHICH IS A HUGE DISTRACTION. THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO TURN THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS ALL THE WAY UP, TO WHERE THEY SHOULD BE WHILE DRIVING DURING DAYTIME CONDITIONS. THIS CAUSES A HUGE DISTRACTION SINCE THE INTERIOR IS FULLY ILLUMINATED ON DARK ROADS. DUE TO THE HORRIBLE RAM DESIGN OF THE HEADLIGHTS WHICH DON'T PROJECT ANYTHING, THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM TRYING TO NAVIGATE ROADWAYS WITH EITHER THE BLINKING DASHBOARD OR THE LIGHTS ALL THE WAY UP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE, IT ROLLED BACKWARDS DOWN A HILL 75 FEET AND CRASHED INTO TREES.

STOPPED AT MAIL BOX ON 3% INCLINE. PUT TRUCK IN PARK AND SET THE PARK BRAKE. JUMPED OUT WITH THE DOOR OPEN TO GET THE MAIL. TRUCK SLOWLY STARTED ROLLING BACKWARD. I JUMPED BACK IN THE TRUCK TO STOP THE ROLL BUT IT ALREADY STOPPED AFTER ABOUT 3 FEET. I LOOKED AND IT WAS STILL IN PARK. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS SAME THING HAS HAPPENED.

ROLLED THREE TIMES AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WINDY CON DITIONS STRAIGHT ROAD.. ...UPDATED 02/13/17 *BF *CN

I WENT TO PUT VEHICLE IN PARK AND I TURNED THE DIAL TO "P" AND THE LIGHT FLASHED ABOVE AND THE KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT OF VEHICLE. I THEN EXITED VEHICLE AND VEHICLE STARTED TO ROLL AWAY. I JUMPED BACK IN VEHICLE AND PUSHED THE EMERGENCY BREAK. I LEFT THE VEHICLE FOR 15 MIN AND WHEN I GOT BACK IN VEHICLE IT WENT INTO PARK WITH NO PROBLEM. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE NOW.

MY TRUCK TONIGHT WAS IN PARK ROLLED DOWN MY DRIVEWAY. SO WHILE IT WAS IN PARK HAD MY WIFE SIT IN TRUCK I PUSHED ON MY TRUCK WHILE MY SON WATCHED THE WHEELS. AND OF COURSE THE WHEELS MOVED AND MY TRUCK ROLLED BACK WHILE IN PARK.

TRUCK WAS IN PARK AND VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND TRUCK STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS ON A VERY SLIGHT INCLINE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 RAM 1500. WHEN THE ENGINE WAS STARTED AND THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS PLACED INTO THE PARK POSITION, THE VEHICLE ROLLED ON ITS OWN INTO A NEARBY POND AND SUNK TO THE BOTTOM OF THE POND. THE VEHICLE WAS UNOCCUPIED AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

3-4 TIMES NOW I HAVE PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK, STARTED TO EXIT AND HAD IT GO INTO REVERSE. ONE TIME I WAS OUT OF THE TRUCK FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE IT STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS AND THE DOOR HIT ME. I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK IN AND STOP IT EVERY TIME.

ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2016, MY TRUCK WENT THROUGH A BUILDING WHILE NO ONE WAS IN THE VEHICLE. AT AROUND 7 AM ON SAID DATE, MY DAUGHTER, WHO WAS THE DRIVER, EXITED THE VEHICLE TO SO INTO A BAGEL STORE IN A STRIP MALL. SHE PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, AND EXITED THE VEHICLE WITH HER KEYS IN HAND, SHE TURNED AROUND TO REMOTE START THE VEHICLE. IT WAS A COOL MORNING. UPON ENGAGING THE REMOTE START, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO MOVE ON ITS OWN, RUNNING INTO THE STRIP MALL ADDRESS OF GARFIELD RD, CLINTON TWP MI. THE BAGEL STORE EMPLOYEE SAW THIS ALL UNFOLD, YET THE POLICE DID NOT WANT HER AS A WITNESS. INSTEAD, THE POLICE TICKETED HER FOR CARELESS DRIVING. SHE WAS NOT IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME IT WENT INTO THE BUILDING YET STILL RECEIVED A TICKET. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO A CAR DEALERSHIP IN MI. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN ROUTE, MY DAUGHTER CALLED CHRYSLER TO INFORM THEM OF THE ACCIDENT. SHE WAS TOLD TO MAKE SURE THAT NO ONE FROM THE DEALERSHIP TOUCHED THE TRUCK. CHRYSLER WANTED TO SEND IN THEIR PEOPLE TO INVESTIGATE. THE TRUCK SAT ON THE LOT FOR A WEEK. OF COURSE THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG? IN THE MEANTIME I CALLED THE INSURANCE COMPANY TO SEE HOW MANY POINTS THIS TICKET WAS THAT WAS NOT WARRANTED. TOO MANY. SO I HIRED A LOCAL ATTORNEY TO FIGHT THE TICKET. I STILL HAD TO PAY FOR THE ATTORNEY AND A FINE. IN CONCLUSION, I OWN A TRUCK THAT MOVES ON ITS OWN, CHRYSLER STATES THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT; THERE IS A WITNESS THAT SAW THAT NO ONE WAS IN THE TRUCK. THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM HER

I AM FROM PITTSBURGH, PA . LAST TUESDAY MORNING, I SHOVELED MY DRIVEWAY AND THEN GOT INTO MY TRUCK AND WENT TO A NEARBY SHEETZ AND GOT SOME GAS. I RETURNED TO MY HOME AND BACKED MY TRUCK DOWN MY DRIVEWAY AND PARKED AND PUT MY TRUCK INTO PARK AND APPLIED THE E-BRAKE AND SHUT OFF THE TRUCK. I THEN WENT INSIDE MY HOME AND WALKED INTO MY KITCHEN. ABOUT 3-4MIN LATER I WAS RANDOMLY LOOKING OUT OF MY BACK WINDOW AND I SEE MY TRUCK IN MY NEIGHBORS BACK YARD AGAINST THEIR FENCE. IT APPEARS MY TRUCK ROLLED AWAY DOWN MY DRIVEWAY. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT OF BEEN BECAUSE OF WEATHER CONDITIONS BUT I HEARD ON THE NEWS ABOUT A POTENTIAL FEDERAL INVESTIGATION OF THESE TYPES OF ACCIDENTS FORM RAM TRUCKS FROM 2014-2016. I WAS LITERALLY SHOCKED BY WHAT HAPPENED TO MY TRUCK AS I AM ALMOST CERTAIN I BOTH HAD THE SHIFTIER IN PARK AND APPLIED THE E-BRAKE. I CURRENTLY HAD TO SUBMIT A CLAIM TO ERIE INSURANCE AND AM IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING MY TRUCK FIXED AFTER $3500 DOLLARS IN DAMAGES. IF YOU NEED ANYMORE DETAILS MY NUMBER IS [XXX]. THANKS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON AN INCLINE, IT BEGAN TO ROLL AND CRASHED INTO A MOUNTAIN. THE CONTACT WAS THROWN FROM THE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

TRANSMISSION PROBLEM... SUNDAY, 12/18/2016 IN MINNEAPOLIS, MN REMOTELY STARTED VEHICLE AT 6:00AM -22 ACTUAL AIR TEMP. VEHICLE HAD BEEN WARMING UP (IDLING) FOR 15 MINUTES. AT 6:15AM I TRIED PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE. INDICATOR LIGHT FOR REVERSE SHOULD HAVE GONE SOLID...JUST BLINKED. TRIED PLACING VEHICLE IN DRIVE WITH SAME RESULTS. DRIVE INDICATOR JUST BLINKED, SHOULD HAVE GONE SOLID. CHECK ENGINE CAME ON. TRIED STOPPING AND STARTING VEHICLE NUMEROUS TIMES WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. ALLOWED VEHICLE TO CONTINUE TO IDLE FOR A TOTAL OF ONE HOUR BEFORE THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION ACTUALLY SHIFTED INTO REVERSE. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO JOE MACHENS RAM DEALERSHIP IN COLUMBIA, MO ON 12/19/2016, SERVICE WRITER CHRIS BOATRIGHT (573-474-9500) WROTE THE ISSUE UP. RECEIVED A CALL FROM CHRIS BOATRIGHT ON 12/20/2016. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS EVEN THOUGH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID POINT TO A TRANSMISSION ERROR. REPORTING THIS ISSUE AS I SAW ON THE NEWS TODAY ABOUT THE OTHER ISSUES OF THIS VEHICLE ROLLING AWAY WHEN PEOPLE THINK THE TRANSMISSION IS IN PARK.

WHILE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC THE TRUCK SUDDENLY STOPPED WITHOUT ANY WARNING, I LOST MY POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES AS WELL AS THE ABILITY TO HAVE POWER TO THE ENGINE. I TRIED TO START THE DIESEL ENGINE, BUT THE STARTER JUST TRIED STARTING IT FOR APPROX. 20 SECONDS, I DID NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO TURN STARTER OFF SINCE IT IS A PUSH BUTTON START AND IT FINALLY TIMED OUT. I WAITED APPROX 5 MIN. AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT RESTARTED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I DROVE IT TO THE DEALER. THE MILEAGE WAS APPROX. 36,100 MILES. I HAD TO KEEP MY FINGERS CROSSED HOPING IT WOULD NOT DIE ON ME AS I DROVE ABOUT 5 MILES TO THE DEALER. MY GREATEST CONCERN IS THE SAFETY ISSUE OF COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER AND WHAT MAY HAPPEN IF YOU WERE ON A HILL OR GOING AROUND A SHARP TURN WHERE THE STEERING AND BRAKES SYSTEMS WOULD NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. MY TRUCK HAS AN ECODIESEL ENGINE. THE DEALER TOLD ME THE TRUCK HA DMULTIPLE PROBLEM CODES ON THE COMPUTER ANALYSIS. THEY TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY LOOSE PINS IN A CONNECTOR AND A LOOSE GROUND WIRE. I NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEM LIKE THIS AND THE SUDDENNESS OF THIS PROBLEM WAS SCARY.

THE BRAKE PEDAL ON THIS GENERATION OF RAM 1500 PICKUPS SITS CONSIDERABLY HIGHER THAN THE GAS PEDAL. THIS MEANS WHEN DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, IF YOU QUICKLY HAVE TO MOVE TO THE BRAKE, YOUR FOOT CAN BECOME STUCK UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE BRAKE PEDAL SHOULD BE LOWERED AS ITS HEIGHT IS TOO HIGH. RAISING THE GAS PEDAL WOULD MAKE IT TOO HIGH AS WELL CREATING A DIFFERENT PROBLEM. THERE ARE MANY DISCUSSIONS ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

32 GALLON OPTIONAL FUEL TANK INSTALLED. DASH BOARD FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR SHOWS E FOR EMPTY AND ZERO MILES TO EMPTY ON DIGITAL DISPLAY. FILLED 32 GALLON TANK AND IT ONLY TOOK 25.7 GALLONS. I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK AND CONFIRMED I HAVE A 32 GALLON TANK. REPORTED TO CHRYSLER 1-800-763-8422 IN MAY OF 2016 BUT I COULD NOT DEAL WITH THE ISSUE UNTIL OCTOBER 2016. I TOOK TRUCK TO LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER IN (JOE MACHENS) COLUMBIA, MO MID OCTOBER 2016. THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. CHRYSLER STATED THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT HAVE NO FIX AS OF 11/21/2016. VERY POOR COMMUNICATIONS COMING BACK TO ME FROM CHRYSLER ENHANCED CUSTOMER SERVICE. I HAVE SPOKE WITH KAITLYN, KENYA AND VERONICA OVER THE PAST MONTH ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH NO TIME FRAME WHEN CHRYSLER WILL HAVE IT RESOLVED. LAST PERSON I SPOKE WITH RYAN AT 1-800-763-8422 EXTENSION 40614. HE STATED WOULD CALL ME BACK WITHIN 24 HOURS WITH ANSWERS. THAT WAS TWO WEEKS AGO. I AM GETTING THE RUN AROUND. I HAVE A STRONG FEELING THEY ARE NOT GOING TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. TWO CASE NUMBERS HAVE BEEN ISSUED BY CHRYSLER TO ME. REF # 29319235 WHICH THEY CLOSED. ALSO 30324341 WHICH SHOULD CURRENTLY BE OPEN. THANK YOU FOR ANY PRESSURE YOU CAN PLACE ON CHRYSLER TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED SOONER VERSUS NEVER.
