COASTED OUT OF A CAR WASH; ENGINE ON, TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL. AFTER EXITING THE WASH, I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND SHIFTED FROM NEUTRAL INTO DRIVE.

THIS IS A KNOWN RECURRING ISSUE ON DODGE RAMS. ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE MOTOR THE BOLTS HOLDING THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD TO THE HEAD SNAP OFF AND CREATE AN EXHAUST LEAK. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO POSSIBLE ASPHYXIATION! I CALLED IN TO REGISTER A COMPLAINT AND I DON'T THINK IT WAS CODED AS A SAFETY ISSUE! DODGE CONTINUES TO IGNORE THE PROBLEM AND MAKE CONSUMERS PAY. THIS STARTED 5-6 YEARS AGO WHEN THEY DOWNSIZED THE BOLT. *TR

WE HAVE A RECALL FROM LAST YEAR THAT THEY SAY THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN OR IF IT WILL OR CAN BE FIXED ON OUR 2017 RAM 1500 ECO DIESEL DUE TO THE SAFETY HAZARD (FIRE/EXPLOSION) OF THIS RECALL AND THAT THEY HAVE HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO FIX IT, WE ASKED FOR A LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL OURS COULD BE FIXED. THE DEALER REFUSED. SINCE IT'S BEEN AT LEAST 6 MONTHS WITH NO REPAIR IN SIGHT, WE DECIDED TO TRADE IT IN ON A NEW RAM. THE DEALER OFFERED US $12,000 LESS THAN WE STILL OWE ON THE RECALLED RAM DUE TO THE RECALL THAT CAN'T BE FIXED! WE ARE STUCK PAYING FOR A DANGEROUS LEMON AND BELIEVE THEY SHOULD BE MADE TO BUY IT BACK FOR WHAT WE STILL OWE. PLEASE HELP!!

FUEL SENSOR FAILURE: AS SOON AS THE FUEL LEVEL IN THE TANK GOES BELOW HALF TANK WHILE DRIVING, THE SENSOR FAILS AND SHOWS NO FUEL IN THE TANK. DRIVER HAS NO ACCURATE IDEA OF THE CORRECT FUEL AMOUNT UNTIL YOU REFILL THE TANK TO ABOVE THE HALF TANK LEVEL. THERE IS A RECALL THAT EXIST FOR OTHER MODELS OF 2017 DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCKS. (RECALL # 17V434000). MY VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE THE RECALL LISTED UNDER ITS CRITERIA. AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO GET THIS RECALL APPLIED TO MY VEHICLE AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP. HOWEVER, THE SERVICE MANAGER WOULD NOT, OR COULD NOT, FIX THIS PROBLEM ON MY VEHICLE WITHOUT AN APPLIED RECALL. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NOV 26TH, 2017.

MY TRUCK HAS HAD AIR-SUSPENSION PROBLEMS SINCE I PURCHASED IT BACK IN 2017. THE AIR SUSPENSION WILL COMPLETELY BOTTOM OUT THE TRUCK WHICH MAKES DRIVING UNSAFE ON THE HIGHWAY. IT TAKES ME TWICE AS LONG TO BREAK WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND IF I HIT A BUMP ON THE FREEWAY IT WILL MAKE EVERYBODY INSIDE THE TRUCK JOLT.

MY TRUCK, 2017 RAM 1500 ECODESIEL, HAS BEEN LOOSING COOLANT AND I LOCATED THE RECALL ON THE EGR COOLER, NHTSA RECALL 19V-757. ON 3/31/2020, I CONTACTED GLOCKNER DODGE DEALER IN ASHLAND KY. THEY TOLD ME THE RECALL WAS A COMPUTER FLASH UPDATE AND THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE EGR COOLER. I THEN CONTACTED FCA US, RECALL DEPARTMENT AFTER I SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP. TOLD HER THE ISSUE I WAS HAVING AND WAS TOLD, IF I WAS HAVING EGR COOLER ISSUES THE DEALERSHIP COULD REPAIR AND/OR REPLACE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RECALL. THEN SHE TOLD ME TO GET MY TRUCK TO A DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. I CONTACTED PURE COUNTRY DEALERSHIP IN GRAYSON KY. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THEM ON 4/1/2020 AT 0900. END RESULT, RECEIPT SHOWS NO EXTERNAL LEAKS FOUND BUT MAY BE RELATED TO RECALL. HOWEVER, I'M TOLD THAT A REPLACEMENT PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. I CONTACTED FCA US, RECALL DEPARTMENT AGAIN. NOW I'M TOLD THAT THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT PART AVAILABLE AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHY THE PREVIOUS REP TOLD ME THAT THE DEALERSHIP COULD FIX IT. THEY SAY MY CLAIM IS SUBMITTED TO A SPECIALIST FOR REVIEW. MY FCA US CLAIM NUMBER IS76030552. 1) WHY HAVE A RECALL IF IT CANNOT BE FIXED? 2) IT HAS BEEN APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS SINCE THE RECALL WAS ISSUES, AND STILL NO VIABLE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM? 3) FCA US ADMITS THAT VEHICLE FIRE CAN OCCUR DUE TO EGR DEFECT. SO I'M DRIVING AROUND, WHAT A TIME BOMB. 4) WHO IS RESPONSIBLE IF A FIRE WOULD OCCUR AND MY CHILDREN ARE INJURED? 5) APPARENTLY, FCA US SOLD VEHICLES TO US CUSTOMERS THAT THEY C

I HAVE THE ECODIESEL. THEY ARE PRONE TO CATCHING ON FIRE, EVEN WHEN PARKED. I EMAILED RAM AND ASKED IF IT WAS SAFE TO PARK MY TRUCK IN A GARAGE ATTACHED TO THE HOUSE. THEY WOULD NOT TELL ME THAT IT IS SAFE, TOLD ME TO USE MY OWN JUDGEMENT. THE FAILURE RATE FOR THESE ENGINES IS RIDICULOUSLY HIGH. ARE YOU DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS?

I LIVE IN CA AND AFTER FUELING 2017 RAM REBEL THE FUEL NOZZLES HAS GOTTEN STUCK MULTIPLE TIMES, I CANT EVEN STICK THE NOZZLE HALF WAYS TO FUEL BECAUSE THEN IT CLICKS AND STOPS FUELING. MY GIRLFRIEND CANT BORROW THE TRUCK IN FEAR THAT IF SHE TRIES TO PUMP GAS IT WILL GET STUCK ON HER TOO. IT REALLY SHOULDN'T BE THIS MUCH OF A HASSLE TO PUMP GAS. THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN I AM TRYING TO PUMP GAS.

LEFT FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT AND DAMAGED FENDER AND INNER LINER. I WAS TRAVELING ON HWY 57 IN SOUTH TEXAS AT ABOUT 75 MPH. TIRE GAVE NO WARNING THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. WAS LUCKY THERE WAS NO ONE BESIDE ME OR COMING IN MY DIRECTION WHEN IT HAPPENED.

THIS VEHICLE HAS TERRIBLE PEDAL LAG. WHEN I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR, THERE IS A 2-6 SECOND LAG RESPONSE TO ACCELERATE. WHILE MOVING FORWARD AND PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR, WHEN THE LAG CATCHES UP TO THE ACCELERATOR IT'S LIKE IT KICKS INTO HIGH GEAR (JERKS) AND ADVANCES. TAKING OFF FROM A STOPPED POSITION IS THE WORSE BECAUSE IT'S FRIGHTING - YOU DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THE LAG WILL TAKE TO RECOVER. WHEN IN MOTION AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND ACCELERATING TO PASS SOMEONE, THE LAG DOES THE SAME THING. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME, UNLESS YOU ACCELERATE VERY SLOWLY, AND KEEP YOUR SPEED SLOW. I'VE DRIVEN THIS TRUCK FOR 13 MONTHS NOW. THE DEALER SAID THE PROBLEM WILL GO AWAY AS YOU DRIVE IT ..WELL, IT HASN'T.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE REAR TAILGATE DOOR, THE DOOR FAILED TO UNLATCH. THE CONTACT THEN STATED THAT WHEN SHE WAS REVERSING OUT OF A PARKING LOT, THE BACK UP CAMERA WAS POINTED AT THE GROUND.

THE AIR SUSPENSION ON MY 2017 RAM 1500 HAS MALFUNCTIONED. IT WILL GO FROM WORKING GOOD, TO NO SUSPENSION AT ANY TIME WITH NO WARNING. THEN THE DRIVERS SIDE WILL HAVE NO SUSPENSION, AND THE PASSENGER SIDE WILL JACK UP TO OFF ROAD 2. AGAIN, WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR ME DOING ANYTHING TO PROMPT IT. MAKES THE TRUCK VERY SQUIRRELY TO DRIVE.

VEHICLE BEGAN INTERMITTENTLY "POPPING" OR "JERKING" WHILE DRIVING AND WOULD HAVE GEAR ISSUES SUCH AS APPEARING TO REMAIN IN 1ST GEAR OR WOULD FAIL TO GO INTO REVERSE. THE POPPING INTO A LOWER GEAR WOULD HAPPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING AND THUS CAUSED AN IMMEDIATE TRAFFIC SLOWDOWN AND POTENTIAL ACCIDENT SITUATION. ALSO, THE VEHICLE WOULD FAIL TO REVERSE AT TIME AND WOULD ONLY REMEDY ITSELF AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN BACK ON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY COME ON AND OFF AND ALMOST A YEAR AGO, I WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALER (TALLAHASSEE DODGE) THAT THERE WAS A GEAR RATIO ISSUE. HOWEVER, WHEN I RECEIVED THE VEHICLE I WAS TOLD THAT ANOTHER SENSOR HAD A LEAK AND THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF A TRANSMISSION ISSUE (AT 55K MILES). NOW, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING THE SAME INTERMITTENT ISSUES AND I HAVE RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR, NOW THE DEALER STATES THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE ISSUE IS AN INTERNAL TRANSMISSION PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO HAVE A NEW TRANSMISSION INSTALLED.

EGR HAS A PROBLEM. WHICH MAY CAUSE A FIRE AND MOPAR DOESN'T HAVE A FIX FOR IT . THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL. I WANT TO TRADE IT FOR A GAS POWERED INSTEAD OF THE DIESEL AND THEY WILL NOT TAKE IT ON TRADE. IF THEY WOULD THEY WON'T GIVE ME ANY WHERE CLOSE TO WHAT THE PICKUP WOULD BE VALUED. IT SEEMS THAT THE PROBLEM IS THEIR PROBLEM AND THEY SHOULD NOT PENALIZE THEIR OWN CUSTOMERS. IT IS REALLY NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IT IF IT HAS THE SYMPTOMS IT HAS AS TO FIRE. IT IS A ON GOING PROBLEM AS THEY DIDN'T TELL ME WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. SOUNDS LIKE BOEING???

2017 DODGE RAM. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FIRE HAZARD RECALL. *LD *JS

POOR FUEL MILEAGE POOR PERFORMANCE

SUDDEN LOSE OF FRONT AIR SUSPENSION WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING, NEGATIVELY EFFECTED THE VEHICLES STABILITY, STEERING, AND ABILITY TO STOP. TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT DEALER. ONLY EXPLANATION GIVEN IS IT MIGHT BE BECAUSE ITS COLD OUTSIDE (WHICH HAS BEEN KNOWN TO HAPPEN IN WINTER).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO FOUND FAILURE CODES: P0402 AND P20EE. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO CALL THE DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V757000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WILSON MOTORS (541-286-7610, LOCATED AT 425 N W BUCHANAN, CORVALLIS, OR 97330-6253), BUT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 39,500. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

EVERY 5 OR 10 MILES THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ACTIVATES ON THE DASHBOARD. THE WARNING LIGHT DOES NOT ACTIVATE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN MOTION HOWEVER IF IT IS ACTIVATED AND THEN THE VEHICLES PUT INTO PARK SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED THE WARNING LIGHT WILL REMAIN ON FOR ANYWHERE FROM ONE MILE TO A HUNDRED MILES THEN SHUT OFF AND ANOTHER 5 OR 10 MILES LATER TURN BACK ON

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY. LIGHT WILL GO OFF WHEN TANK IS FULL AND COMES ON AT 3/4. CODE READS FUEL SENSOR INPUT LEVEL HIGH VOLTAGE.

WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD, ACCELERATION FROM A STOP IS ALMOST NON EXISTENT FOR ROUGHLY 3-4 SECONDS. PULLING OUT IN TO NORMAL TRAFFIC IS DANGEROUS AS THE VEHICLE DOES NOT PERFORM ANYWHERE NEAR THE WAY IT DOES ONCE WARMED UP. MY SERVICING DEALER AND CHRYSLER CORPORATE TOLD ME THAT THERE IS A ISSUE WITH EXCESSIVE EMISSIONS FROM MY 2017 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL WHEN COLD WHICH REQUIRED THEM TO INHIBIT FUEL FLOW TO THE ENGINE UNTIL THE ENGINE REACHED A TEMPERATURE OF 157 DEGREES. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AS THE TRUCK SEEMS TO IGNORE THE DRIVERS DESIRE TO ACCELERATE. I'VE COME CLOSE TO BEING REAR-ENDED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION BECAUSE THE TRUCK WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT MORE THAN WHAT SEEMS TO BE AN IDOL FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. I'VE OWNED THIS TRUCK FOR ABOUT 1.5 YEARS AND STILL THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. IT IS MY HOPE THAT FEDERAL ACTION WILL SPUR A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM.

ON NOVEMBER 9, 2019, AT APPROXIMATELY 12:PM, I WAS AT MY AREA'S ATM, SITTING STILL, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRUCK JUST TURNED OFF, WITHOUT WARNING AND I HAD TO GET IT TOWED HOME BY MY AAA SERVICE

DESPITE RECALL U61/NHTSA 18V-332 BEING COMPLETED ON MY PICKUP- ON 7/23/2018 I WAS SOUTHBOUND ON INTERSTATE 29 BETWEEN ST.JOSEPH AND KANSAS CITY MO THE MORNING OF OCTOBER 31, 2019. WE HAD SNOW, FREEZING PRECIPITATION, ETC THE EVE BEFORE AND DRIVING WAS TENUOUS AT BEST. WITH MY CRUISE CONTROL SET AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MILES PER HOUR TRAFFIC BEGAN TO SUDDENLY SLOW DUE TO NUMEROUS SLIDE OFFS AND ACCIDENTS. I TAPPED MY BRAKE TO SLOW AND DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL- AND THE IMMEDIATE RESPONSE WAS FOR THE ENGINE TO REV AND INCREASE RPM,S TO MAINTAIN SPEED. CONSTANT ATTEMPTS TO BRAKE AND OVER RIDE WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. I DEEMED IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE BRAKES TO STOP MY VEHICLE! A RED WARNING LIGHT "BRAKE" APPEARED ON THE DASH ALONG WITH A FEW LINES OF MESSAGE WHICH I COULD NOT READ DUE TO KEEPING MY EYES ON THE ROAD. I SOMEHOW MANAGED THE THOUGHT PROCESS OF TURNING THE GEAR SHIFT KNOB TO THE NEUTRAL POSITION AND WAS JUST BARELY ABLE TO GET STOPPED BEFORE SMASHING INTO THE VEHICLE'S IN FRONT OF ME. THE DEALER WHO SUPPOSEDLY PERFORMED MY RECALL OF REPROGRAMMING THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE IS TRI STATE DODGE IN MARYVILLE MO 64468. THEY SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO HOOK MY TRUCK TO THE COMPUTER TO TRY AND DETERMINE WHAT HPPENED ON 11/7/2019

I HAVE A 2017 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STARTING MAKING A CRAZY NOISE THEN BEGIN TO LOOSE POWER, I STEERED THE TRUCK ONTO THE SHOULDER WHERE IMMEDIATELY WHITE SMOKE STARTING BELLOWING FROM UNDERNEATH THE FRONT AND SIDES OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT I OPENED THE HOOD BUT NO FLAMES WERE VISIBLE AND IT EVENTUALLY WENT OUT. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER AND THREE WEEKS LATER THEY NOW TELL ME THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE EGR COOLER LEAKING WHICH APPARENTLY IS A KNOWN AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM.

MY SECOND FRONT IMPACT WITH MY TRUCK. FIRST ONE WAS 10K DAMAGE IMPACT WAS 50 MPH, THEN A FEW MONTHS LATER MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. RAM SAYS CLOCK SPRING NEEDS REPLACED, I PAY THEM TO REPLACE IT. 2 WEEKS LATER ANOTHER FRONTAL IMPACT AT 45MPH, AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY NOR THE SEAT BELTS LOCK UP. MY 12 YO DAUGHTER HITS THE DASH AND NOW HAS A CONCUSSION. I END UP WITH A DISC ISSUE AND PINCHED NERVES IN MY NECK. FUNNY HOW I PAY IT GET A SYSTEM FIXED AND NOW NOTHING WORKS. CALLED DEALER TALKED TO MELODY, SHE SAID SERVICE MANAGER WOULD CALL BACK, NEVER HAS. I'M CONSIDERING FILING A LAW SUIT AGAINST RAM AND PARTS SUPPLIER.

I FILLED UP MY VEHICLE WITH FUEL ON TUESDAY. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THURSDAY WHEN ALL THE SUDDEN THE FUEL LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH A MESSAGE. THEN I NOTICED MY FUEL GAUGE READ EMPTY. I KNOW IT WASN'T EMPTY BECAUSE I FILLED UP 2 DAYS EARLIER. I WENT THROUGH THE NOTIFICATION TABS AND WENT TO MESSAGES AND WHEN I OPENED THE MESSAGE IT READ, "FUEL SENSOR FAIL" ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND BOTH LIGHTS STAYED ON. FUEL GAUGE STILL READS EMPTY. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 40350 MILES ON IT AND SEAMS TO BE TOO SOON FOR ANYTHING LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN.

FUEL SENSOR FAILURE ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. ONE WAS REPLACED (FUEL RAIL PRESSURE SENSOR) AND THE OTHER HAS NOT BEEN YET DUE TO THE VERY HIGH PRICE OF THE REPAIR ($800 - $1000). FUEL GAUGE READS FULL AND THEN SUDDENLY DROPS TO EMPTY. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM.
