ABS, Traction Control, and cruise control not functioning due to failed ABS module. The part # is 68228991AD and they have been on back order for over a year according to my local dealer where I purchased the vehicle; and with no ETA available on when one will become available.
The HPFP failed 9/15/23 in my ecodiesel traveling down the freeway in three lane traffic. I lost all acceleration , power. no brakes or power steering, I was nearly killed by several semi's because I lost all speed. It nearly caused a massive accident potentially killing me and several others in the process. I had seconds to react it left me traumatized from the event. I had to call a tow truck- which cost me $300- They left me stranded at the dealership in a different state hours from home with nothing. I was without my truck for a week. It was then taken back to my homestate and taken to a local dealership- in which they had it for a few weeks and said it was a dirty radiator filter charging $240 . I had my truck back for 4 days before it started doing the same exact thing and had to be taken back to the dealership. They then admitted it was the recall after all and said I was not allowed to remove it off the property but there was no fix. I was not given a loaner vehicle- I was not helped in any way- My truck is my own vehicle- Im a single female that commuted back and forth to work an hour away from home. They had my truck for 13 weeks- in which they said they did a work around - within 5 minutes of taking it- lost acceleration again, hesitating, multiple issues. Tried to get it back to the dealership- drove it a few times and again multiple issues- hesitations, no acceleration. Was in route to take it back to another diesel mechanic and it completely died and had to have
The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 75 MPH and attempting to accelerate while changing lanes, the vehicle suddenly lost motive power and was unable to accelerate properly to keep up with the flow of traffic. The contact was able to pull over to the shoulder of the roadway and turn off the vehicle. After restarting the vehicle, the failure persisted, and the vehicle was unable to accelerate above 30 MPH. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the tone ring, informing the contact that the magnetic material separated from the tone ring, resulting in poor vehicle timing and fuel injection.

There is a safety recall on this vehicle, recall number 22V-406, issued in June 2022, which still has no remedy. We are concerned about the safety of this vehicle and my wife has had many instances where she was trying to accelerate into traffic, and the vehicle stalled. This has been an ongoing issue, and we are afraid one day this will lead to an accident. I believe 2 years is more than enough time for a remedy to this to have been found. I have spoken to the service department at my local Ram dealership, and all they tell me is that the parts are not available. This is unacceptable, and we need this resolved.

Steering is partially failing. Hard to turn the steering wheel and can not turn as much.
Driving down the freeway Without warning vehicle dashboard started throwing out all kind of code warnings. Vehicle went into limp mode. Vehicle started on fire. Dealership states the blue def system was at fault. A problem this same dealer fixed just last year. At a cost of over $3000. This time with the fire the bill is over $8000. Not to mention the def system recall from a few years back where these components were suppose to be under an extended warranty. What is a consumer to do.

This has happened 3 time now and basically has been parked since. We have had it to the repair shop and they couldn't find anything. Repair shop even has contacts who work for Chrysler in CO. We live in SD, it's winter. So vehicle need to warm for some time before driving. On all 3 occasions vehicle was warmed up for 15-30 mins. Hop in pickup to leave our yard and shift into drive. Steering wheel acts as if it's still locked. 1st time it lasted 5-10 seconds, I forcibly tried with all of my might to turn the wheel but could not get it too. Also tried shifting though gears while rolling. It just suddenly unlocked. The 2nd and 3rd time it lasted 30-60 seconds before it unlock. As a parent this vehicle isn't safe. What if it locks up while driving at 80mph on the interstate while my kids are in the car with me? I do have a video of it but it won't allow me to upload it.
COMPLAINT/INCIDENT.On February 9th 2024, I was making a right hand turn onto main Street. My speed was under 10mph, closer to 5mph. . Without any warning or MIL, my truck suddenly went from easy steering to unable to move the steering column and jerked/locked the wheel by 90 degrees to the left. In other words, the steering wheel went from the 3:00 position and locked into place at the 12:00 position at the apex of the right turn. This put me on a path to driving into a 2story brick building. I was unable to accelerate and I was unable brake momentarily. The engine sputtered a few times; and that is when the MIL lit up on my dashboard stating “electronic power steering service” and “low battery voltage”. After the lights came on, the steering was brought back to normal along with the acceleration and my brakes. After the MIL displayed, steering resumed enough to pull into a parking spot. All of this occurred within 80ft from the apex of the corner to where the truck finally locked up. Total distance traveled 195 ft from start of turn to parked. The steering column and wheel completely locked up once in parking spot. I weigh about 230 lb and I could literally hang off the wheel without the wheel moving an inch.. At home, the power to the truck did not turn off like it normally would after 30 secs. The manual neutral transmission switch was pulled, which normally does not interfere with shutdown. After disengaging the truck powered off. However, I was unable to restart and only
Power steering is intermittently failing, making it hard to turn.
Power steering goes on and off, and sometimes works fine. but it can happen when you drive the car that is not safe.
Gas tank strap went through the frame. Gas tank fell off while driving down roadway. Dodge will not repair since the vehicle had come from Canada. No warning lights came on.
My power steering has suddenly became very stiff when turning left or right and the suddenly loosens up causing the truck to quickly shift left or right. It is every turn into a road or stop sign and there’s hesitation or a glitchy jerky feeling around curves going normal speed limit. There were no warning signals lights or errors before during or after the incident.
Whenever the ambient temperature gets below 40 deg F, the "Service Power Steering" warning message appears and the steering doesn't work. The fuse is OK. The battery is OK. The connections going to the steering rack don't have any corrosion on the pins. I opened the steering rack to see if there was any water infiltration that might be causing a short on the circuit board, but it is dry. I saw the 2015 Ram 1500 had a recall for steering issues, but my VIN didn't qualify for the recall. There are no parts available to fix this problem, which tells me this is a widespread issue with the Ram 1500 trucks.

Electric power steering randomly stops working. Can be very dangerous when you’re turning sharp and expecting it to return to center after the turn and it doesn’t.
Fuel sensor failure warning w/ accompanying check engine light. Fuel gauge non-functional. I ran code on it (forget the exact code) but YouTube mechanic showed how to fix by changing out the Fuel Sensor, which I did. Engine light went away. Been fine for a month and a half. It's now back to doing it again. Fuel Sensor Failure. I can't keep replacing these things, we're on a tight budget. I don't want to run out of gas somewhere due to not knowing how much I have.

Good morning! I own a 2015 Ram Ecodiesel. I am not the original owner. I am in California. The truck is not under warranty and the FCC will not help me nor the dealership. A few months ago I was towing my horses in a trailer and the truck started to lose acceleration, started to over heat, black smoke was coming out from under the hood, and it almost lost power going up a hill. It was very scary and it almost caused an accident and my horses were terrified. I barely got it to drive up the hill and pulled over to safe place. The truck was smoking black smoke, smelled terrible, and we felt in danger. I took truck to dealership in San Luis Obispo CA. It was diagnosed with a bad intake manifold, bad fuel lines, bad egr cooler. The estimate in costs was about $7,000. Luckily my husband is a mechanic and he performed the repairs. Than the truck was back up and running, no more black smoke, and it sounded better. On [XXX] I was hauling my horses and small only 2 horse trailer, same trailer, it’s small, not oversized or too big for my truck….. the truck started to lag, lose acceleration and drive slow, then it started a knocking sound….. then a high pitch noise….. this was terrifying as we were on a very busy freeway. I pulled over and the engine started to smoke and make horrible noises like knocking and high pitch screeches. My husband and I and our two horses were once again stranded with a broken down truck. This time on a very busy freeway, highway [XXX] in California. The truck

The lifter is ticking for no reason I always use royal purple in my 2015 ram 1500 now for no reason out of no where it started to tick just driving to work. Now the more I research I find out that these hemi 5.7 engines are well known to tick because of the lift. If these lifters are well known to go out why haven't a recall been activated to fix the problem. I love my ram truck but now I'm going to have to spend money to fix it that I don't not have. That should recall these vehicles because this how they will lose customers.
Going around a curve and the steering wheel locked up. The steering wheel is unresponsive at times and seems to have dead spots when turning. There is also a dry screech when turning the steering wheel at low speeds.
The electric power steering fails when in low temperatures, Usually below 40 degrees. After the truck gets up to temperature the power steering starts working. It has not been inspected by anyone and it is unknown if it could be available for inspection. I have read on multiple forums of people having the same issue. There were no warning lamps present. It is a safety issue because it will happen when you are first taking off. For example it power steering will work coming down the driveway then when you get on the road it will go out, and after the truck gets to running temp. It will start working again.
ABS control unit and ABS pump failure, repaired and more failures. Repair is to keep buying new expensive parts that will fail again. This ABS system is poorly designed or the feedback control component is poorly designed. It doesn't work properly, repairing it is not answer, parts are back ordered for months or years AND IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE, HIGH SPEED SAFETY, WHERE PEOPLE DIE DUE TO NOT EMERGENCY STOPPING CORRECTLY. GET ON IT. HOW MANY FAILURES DO YOU NEED TO SEE?
The reason for the submission is regarding the unresolved safety recall, NHTSA Recall Number22V-406. Recall StatusRecall Incomplete, remedy not yet available Summary Some 2014-2020 MY Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles equipped with a 3.0L diesel engine may have been built with a high pressure fuel pump ("HPFP") that could fail prematurely. A HPFP failure may introduce internally failed component debris into the fuel system potentially causing fuel starvation. Safety Risk Fuel starvation may result in an unexpected loss of motive power, which can cause a vehicle to crash without prior warning.
Total ABS system failure at about 58k miles. Dash lights came on and chimes ringing. Took it in to the dealer for service, replaced ABS module and HCU. I drove for a week and problem came up again. Dealer said that ABS module was bad but HCU was good. Truck has been sitting at dealer since June 2023. They said that no parts are available across the U.S. and that Chrysler is reengineering ABS module. Parts weren't going to be available until March 2024, now it's April 2024.

On August 27, 2023, on my home my 2015 RAM 1500 Eco Diesel lost all power at 70 mph and the "Electronic Throttle Control" light came on. I was able to get my truck home in "limp mode" and had it towed to the dealership the next day (August 28, 2023). Two weeks later, the dealership called and said that my truck had "fuel contamination" because there were "shavings and rust" in my fuel filter housing and it would cost $21k to replace the entire fuel system. I asked for a more thorough diagnostic because there is the open recall (Z46) on the vehicle related to the high-pressure fuel pump that will leave debris in the system. They then claimed that a "Stalantis engineer" looked at it and put a restriction on the vehicle to not be covered under recall warranty due to "fuel contamination." I asked for a detailed diagnostic report which they could not provide. I then filed a claim through Stalantis and went through a 2-month process and 4 different case managers who ultimately claimed that they couldn't cover it because of the fuel contamination restriction. So, I then filed an insurance claim who did their own investigation, including collecting a fuel sample from the truck tank, investigating the last fuel station I used, and interviewing the dealership. They concluded that the issue was due to the recall (specifically, the fuel pump leaving debris in my fuel system) and was NOT external fuel contamination. They also claimed that the dealership would not provide a diagnostic repo
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
