Air bag is showing not working and seat belt shows not secure along with warning light on dash. Not feeling secure in driving vehicle with kids or myself, dealer was advised and would not replace it unless i paid for it $1000.00 and they charged $200.00 to diagnose the issue that is considered a safety problem. Warning lights all over the dash, not safe driving. They are telling me its the occupant restraint module thats faulty

Steering

I just bought this truck used, remotely, sight unseen. Dealership that sold me this didnt mention this or any other issues with the truck!! When cornering, sharp or gradual at any speed, the wheel jerks back and forth, or jerks. Very unsafe feeling. And could easily cause truck entering opposite lane. Took this to the dealer locally and they confirmed that have heard of this issue before, said a new steering box will likely correct problem. This was also confirmed by my diesel mechanic.

Rear window mass water leak. Ram currently has a recall for certain models leaking rear window (spoke to Ram and my vehicle does not fall under the recall). There is also a class action lawsuit regarding the leaking rear windows on Ram. My concern is an electrical fire as I am driving due to the amount of water I found in the cab. As well as the mold and oder it's going to create.

Service Brakes
Filed Jan 14, 2024TX

While towing a roughly 13k pound camper with my family from Texas to New York and back , I lost trailer brakes, traction control , cruise control and my trailer brakes. The trip included ice, rain, snow. We had a death in the family and the trip did not include the time to take to have this problem troubleshot. Literally one of the scariest trips ever through different elevations and traction levels. These would’ve all been just fine had the systems worked correctly. The truck only had 35,000 miles at the time. Of course by the end of this trip I was now out of warranty. ( so I think) I don’t know. With as common as this issue is , I don’t know what to do. I plan on keeping this truck but I do not anyone else drive it due to the safety concerns. As a combat veteran I’m used to doing sketchy stuff. But it’s not right. It’s dangerous. The issues continue intermittently and never when the diagnostic is available.

Vehicle Speed Control
Filed Dec 3, 2023GA

Component/System Failed:The stability control system, and subsequently, the cruise control system of my 2019 Ram 2500 malfunctioned. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Safety Risks:The malfunction posed a significant safety risk as it occurred multiple times while driving at speeds of 50mph to 74mph. The unexpected failure of the stability control could lead to a loss of vehicle control, especially at high speeds, increasing the risk of an accident. Additionally, the deactivation of cruise control without warning could lead to sudden changes in vehicle speed, potentially surprising the driver and leading to unsafe driving conditions. Reproduction of the Problem & Inspection by Manufacturer/Other Parties: The truck is currently at AutoNation Ram 265 Drivers Way A, Hardeeville, SC 29927 Warning Signs: None Best Assessment of Incident and Cause: Unknown, but this began occurring after the replacement of the recalled high pressure fuel pump.

TPMS system has stopped working and is not related to the sensors in the tires. All 4 sensors read with a handheld scanner but the system does not operate as it should. Dealership has checked the system and said the system is working as it should, yet the system is inoperable. This is a serious safety issue as anyone driving the vehicle will be unaware if there is a low tire and can lead to a blowout.

Air Bags
Filed Sep 26, 2023CA

The dash leather is bubbling up across the entire top of dash. With this happening it causes a huge concern over airbag deployment. Due to the dash cover being weakened from the bubbling, if I were to get into an accident with a passenger then the airbag would have less restriction for deployment which could cause further harm to my passenger. Manufacture is not covering under warranty because they say it is cosmetic and not a safety concerns. My concern is that I believe the dash should be 100% intact before driving down the road due to the possibility of an accident occurring.

SYMPTOM: Driver side vanity mirror light and garage door (homelink) stop working with a short time period where they will work if held in a certain position. This is the second time this has happened, with the first time being under warranty (mileage estimated at 32000). I am well past warranty period. I disassembled the visor to find 2 frayed wires and a wire that has been severed at the point they entered the visor chamber from the guide tube (IMG_1819, IMG_1817, IMG-1821, &IMG-1820). In my opinion there is a flaw in the exit port that cause the wires rub against a relatively sharp tube edge as the visor is extended/retracked with no exit relieve, just some thin ineffective cloth tape, obiviously. FYI, the wires were pulled through the rod to better expose the damage. You can see some blackish residue on the wires of that thin cloth tape that was peeled back to view the damage (IMG_1817 & IMG_1822). While the images do not show it, the wires were routed through the channels of the visor caps as evident in curved cables in IMG_1821. My concern is that the frayed wires will cause a fire, personal shock or short circuit the vehicle while in operation, regardless of being a fused circuit. None of which has happened in my case. The visor has been replaced in the vehicle but NOT connected to power and as of this submission is available for inspection if needed. I have not contacted MFR

I’ve been waiting for a recall fix for the Y78 on my Ram Cummins. My dealer keeps saying they only get in a couple of the high pressure fuel pumps every few weeks. I’ve started the process back in December with no estimated wait time other than it will be many months before they fix it. I know many people who have but a direct replacement pump that will remedy the problem and have been reimbursed for parts and labor. My really helpful dealer this morning told me to contact NHTSA and file a complaint about how to go about the reimbursement process to get it fixed myself or provide me other options to get it fixed. Any help would be appreciated.

Continuation to NHTSA ID # 11511305 Adding some more details and photos of the Fire. (2019 Ram 2500 6.7L Cummins Diesel engine) This is to describe the time frame from the start of the vehicle to when the fire department put out the fire. I have a store receipt that time stamps my checkout time at 2:11p CT, from the time I left the store, loaded my purchases into the truck, started and drove the car a very short distance, when the smoke started to pour out of the inside ventilation system, I pulled the truck over to the side of the road, got out of the truck and called 911 (time stamped from my phone was 2:29p CT. (18 minutes from checkout to 911 call. I Took a picture of the truck after the fire department put out the fire (time stamped 2:38p CT (9 minutes from the start of the 911 call). Adding some pictures of the burnt-out truck. What shows is that the fender on the driver’s side took the brunt of the heat, where all the electrical systems reside. Telling me that this was the main section that started on fire (possibility that the Heater Grid). This was definitely an electrical fire, given the smell and smoke that poured into the truck. I know there is a current recall by the auto maker. I think they should re-evaluate they years that this recall should affect, since my 2019 has the same parts used as the 2021-2023’s. Given the pictures below and the disaster that this caused, we were pretty lucky that it was just me and my wife in the vehicle. We were able to find a spot

March 10,2023 2019 Ram 2500 Cummins 6.7L Diesel I picked up my truck from the dealership this morning, after they did the outstanding CP4 fuel pump recall. I drove the vehicle home (approx 20) miles. Parked the car in the driveway for about 3 hours. Then took a short trip to the store. After the store, when leaving the parking lot I noticed an electrical/plastic smell. Within in seconds smoke started to come through the air vents. I pulled the truck over, turned off the truck, open the hood when fire exspelled from the engine compartment. Immediately call the fire department. They arrived in minutes to put out the fire, but at that point the whole front end of the truck was on fire and smoking (dense white/gray smoke). Then there was a loud burst of flame that came from the engine compartment. The fire worked its way into the cab compartment, burned it completely. The truck is totaled.

RE: "If the manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner, please contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at: 1-888-327-4236 or TTY: 1-800-424-9153 or file an online complaint with NHTSA. This recall was issued in November 2022. My local dealer, Carson Dodge in Carson City, Nevada, will not honor the recall and will not fix my vehicle. I have repeatedly asked for the repair and keep getting blown off, telling me I'm on an indefinite waiting list. I insisted once to confirm I am on the waiting list and where I am at. I was told my car would be repaired in February 2023. February came and went and they still refuse to repair the car or provide a date when the repair might be possible. The fuel pump has now failed and the car has been dead in my driveway for a week and a half. I am without my primary means of transportation to get to work. Calls and emails to the service manager at Carson Dodge have been ignored and unanswered. I am reaching out to you to request assistance. The dealer will not fix the car and will not communicate with me. The car is non-operational now and will have to be towed. I desperately need my vehicle and I am respectfully requesting assistance with a recalcitrant dealership.

But my truck all of a sudden loss power on the freeway doing 65 my wife and daughter started crying I barely made it to the edge of the freeway with being hit within inches of a semi truck. We sat on the side of the freeway with trucks passing us shaking our truck from the wind. Finally I had to call Chp to have cars slow down when it became night time I fears for the safety of my wife and daughter. Yes the issue now is it won’t start at all but they are telling me go somewhere else it could take 2-3 months to fix the issue. No one inspected it yet just that it wouldn’t start. It was continuously having power surges but too light. Then all of a sudden loss power and it says service exhaust system see dealer.

Truck broke down with a major total fuel system damaged. Parts were ordered, but repairs did not start yet. Everyone is trying to say it is a user error. We refilled DEF liquid correctly after which the gage showed was almost full. Dealership was blaming bad diesel was used, but as a consumer how in the world will i know which brand or company: they all are governed to sell proper diesel. We only drove about 3000 miles. There's no way possible for such to happen. Dealership told us ok to drive and keep refilling fresh diesel. We learned that there was already a recall for fuel system back in September of 2022. Supposedly if diligently and correctly it was taken care of, this same problem should have not come back at least for the next 10000+ miles. We only put on about 3000 miles from the date of purchase. Also according to inspection of dealership and service history, they also replaced fuel filters in October of 2022. Truck broke down even before our first payment was to be due. Currently our truck is not drivable and we are in 7 yrs loan. Absolutely ridiculous. There must of been a hidden tank leak that caused fuel contamination.

While traveling home with a toddler, the high pressure fuel pump failed. It left my vehicle with no power or ability to move under it’s own power. It flashed a brief warning and then shut off, with no ability to restart. It left myself and my child stranded on the side of a busy byway. The dealership has confirmed that the issue was the high pressure fuel pump. Their remedy (at the direction of Ram) is to replace all necessary components, but to wash the fuel tank (instead of replace) and to reinstall the same make and model of fuel pump, that is know to be faulty. The 2019’s have a recall with the only remedy being to replace with the original design. However, 2020 version (which are mechanically identical) also have a recall where they are being instructed to install an updated version of the high pressure fuel pump. This leaves me with faulty equipment that is known to be prone to failure, yet the 2020 versions are receiving a much better and not prone to failure solution.

I was driving home from the market and the truck slowed down to 16 mph. I could not go any faster. I pulled over to the middle of the street and turned the truck off for a minute. I then restarted it and attempted to drive it somewhere safe. The truck finally came to a stop right before an intersection. I had to get out because cars were coming fast. I was afraid someone was going to hit me. I called AAA right away. They told me the tow truck was on the way and that they would send the police. The police never showed up. The tow truck got there in about 15 minutes. The only information i have is the fuel system has a error code of P0087 and reads Fuelrail system pressure-too low. Check engine light is on, It did say something about the fuel system and the truck will not start. No one has looked at the truck yet. I will be calling the dealer this coming week to see about getting it checked out and having recall issues taken care of.

When driving down the road, intermittently my truck will lose throttle input. I get a check engine light and the electronic throttle control light. this is extremely dangerous when pulling out into traffic or even pulling out onto a higher speed road because the truck will not let me accelerate. It will just sputter and I have to fight it to about 35mph when I can activate cruise control then am forced to drive only using cruise control no matter what the road or traffic is like which is also not very safe. So far, I am at 3 service appointments over the span of about a month and a half, over $500 invested and the dealer cannot find the culprit or issue causing this. I know that fault code P2121 is set off but it does not lead to much.

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.
