I had a air bad recall regarding the side airbags that i had fixed at adams automotive of annapolis and then on 5/07/14 i was involved in a serious motor vehicle accident due to the side curtain airbags deploying while i was driving. After the collision involving 6 cars when my side airbags deployed, none of the other front airbags deployed when they should have because of how bad the front impact was. I was injured very badly due to this and am possibly being held responsible for the accident until chrysler can confirm this is a big issue regarding the ram pickups! luckily there was no severe injuries but i now have lumbar back injuries and left shoulder injuries, not including what happened to others involved. Do i need to hire an attorney?..updated 09/14/17
Airbags deployed in a minor sideswipe collision at highway speed.the driver was not able to control the vehicle because of the smoke (dust?) from the airbag inflation and the bag itself in his face that prevented him from seeing where he was going.we hit a utility pole at speed and several trees which eventually stopped the truck.the airbags deployed at the initial (very minor) impact and were of no benefit to us in the subsequent major impacts that we could not even see coming.in this case driver error may have caused the initial impact but many accidents of this type may follow deer/auto crashes that occur at highway speeds and do not slow the vehicle down.perhaps the threshold impact for airbag deployment should be higher or airbag deployment modified so drivers are able to control their vehicle after an initial impact that does not stop the vehicle.i have to wonder how many human deaths in deer/auto collisions result from secondary impacts at high speed because drivers could not stop their auto safely because of airbag deployment at the initial hit.
Airbag check light randomly goes off and on will driving. Took truck to dealer in cambridge,mn and was told plug connector for airbag under front passenger seat needs to be replaced. Not covered by warranty so it would cost $650 on top of the inspection fee i now owe because it wasn't a problem that warranty covered. Denied the service, if need be i can fix it myself and better than them just setting up another junk plug connector to probably get same problem return of n new connector.

We purchased a brand new ram 1500 february 27, 2015. We've been having the same on going problem with the vehicle since we purchased this vehicle. We brought it to the dealerships attention on several occasions and have been told the same thing every time which is "yes we acknowledge the problem is their however there is still no fix ".this has been going on for over 6 months. When you bring the vehicle. To a complete stop, it jumps or shifts as if it's trying to jump into another gear. When you try to drive off in the vehicle the vehicle gives a hesitation like it's trying to go into a higher gear before you even pull off. On top of this the vehicle currently have 3 recalls on it. We should not be experiencing this with a brand new truck. We've contacted the dealership several times regarding this issue but we're not getting any results. They just keep saying we're aware of the problem but there is stilll not a fix. We do not feel safe driving this vehicle and would like to see some results! we've been getting the same results for the past 6 or 7 months and have decided to contact nhtsa, hoping to get some results.

Took the truck in for service on air bag light issue to the dealer, lawton chrysler jeep dodge ram's truck center located at 215 se interstate dr., lawton, ok 73501. I was informed by an employee that the airbag light was a common issue due to a bad design and a cheap plastic wiring harness located under the driver side seat. Any seat adjustments, loose objects rolling under the seat, or even a rear passengers foot could potential make contact with the harness in a manner that breaks it and may trigger the airbag light to come on.. Interstate dr. Martin ok 73501 i was informed by employee that the airbag light was a common issue due to a bad design in the cheap plastic wiring harness located under the driver side seat in the seat that just meant loose objects rolling under the seat or even a rear passengers foot could potential make contact with the harness in a manner that breaks the plastic part. This would trigger the airbag light. My concern is, will the airbag function properly if i'm in an accident? *dtdodge admitted it was poor design.

I've owned 4 chrysler/dodge vehicles 98 avenger, 99 ram 1500, 03 300 m and now 2014 ram 1500 which everyone has had electrical issues. I have not put money into my new truck yet but have put thousands into other vehicles before i sold them for less than blue book just to be rid of all the issues. I bought my currant truck new in june 2014, i first began noticing glitches late summer 2015 and now there are electric surges, fault indicators that are fine and lights will not shut off killing my battery. I bought new this time assuming i would eliminate these issues but i was wrong, my truck has had no accidents of any sort and yet i have a $35,000 truck that's unreliable as well as unsafe. Durning my research chrysler has been aware of this issue for decades and should be responsible for their lack of safety concerns for their customers. Very disheartening as well as frustrating

Driving on level road at 30-35 mph when airbag went off without warning or reason knocking me unconscious. Truck went off road across field and hit trees at greater speed totaling the truck and giving me head injuries. Truck had recall on it for airbag on drivers side going off due to some wiring harness problem. Had taken truck into dealership the day before accident to have recalls taken care off. I guess not !!
My truck continues to light up saying that the fuel cap is loose. I believe that there was a former recall about a crack and engine coolant gas getting into the system, and this was never fixed properly.also, the airbag light continues to come on, and there was a former recall about that and it was never fixed.these are all while stationary.

Vehicle has had and keeps having the airbag indicator light come on to include service air bag system light. This issue has been brought to the dealership 4 repetitive times and to come this week a 5th time. On the 4th time they installed a new module and the problem still persists/ which they stated was not covered under warranty so had to pay $1500 in repairs. They advised to install a new battery the 3rd time and did not solve the issue. These lights come on at random times, either driving or stationary.
I was involved in a rear end accident. The person who hit me was going approximately 50 mph. I was stationary waiting to make a left turn. The front drivers seat broke causing the back portion to slam into the rear seat and the bottom to completely raise up. As a result i had no control over the vehicle causing some secondary damage. If there had been a person in the back seat they would of had catastrophic injuries as they would have been crushed by the driver seat. The airbags were emitting a "gas" but the airbags never deployed. I do not have photos of the seat but the brunswick county ems did take photos of the seat. And i am sure they can provide if further investigation is warranted.
The airbag warning light keeps coming on and off (along with the accompanying "ding").i think there is a short in the wiring under the driver's seat.whenever i go over big bumps it seems to cause the issue more often.

Vehicle had been serviced for all airbag related recalls in the past. At approximately 53,000 miles, my srs light randomly comes on and 'service airbag system" message displays on dash. I called the dealership to see if it was covered under recall or warranty and was told no and dealership wants $150 to look at vehicle. Internet research shows this is a common issue on ram pick-ups. Because the light comes on for a day or so and goes out for several days, i am waiting for the light to stay on constantly to prevent myself from having to pay $150 multiple times because there is no active fault when i drop it off. Because this vehicle has had airbag related recall due to wiring, these vehicles should have an extended warranty on their airbag system. The fault that i am getting from my personal obdii scanner is "open circuit on front drivers squib #2". Light comes on when randomly, either at first start if the day, or after driving for awhile. Light and warning goes off in the same conditions (randomly). New airbag costs $795 and clock-spring is $295. These costs are for parts only and unacceptable for a 4 year old truck with 53,000 miles.

I can not scroll through the information center to check the tire pressure, speed, oil life or any other items in the information center. I also do not know if this issue affects the air bag being able to deploy. I can not reset the oil life after i change the oil.

On july 30th i was driving my 2014 ram 1500 though an intersection and got hit by another truck going through the light (passenger side rear tire). This spun my truck sideways and rolled it 2 or 3 times about 50 feet. At this point the truck was laying on its passenger side door. After looking over the vehicle, i noticed that the only airbag that went off was the driver side curtain. There were 5 people in the truck and only one sustained major injuries. My mother had a broken neck and back and ended up spending about a month in the hospital. The other 3 people in the car were my 2 children and wife. We were very fortunate, but with only one air bag deploying it could have been allot worse. ..updated 05/09/17

Air bag light on for two months,had a tech look at itclock spring kit sensor bad ,he said odd as truck is still pretty new, safety concern it controls deployment of air bag,controls horn, cruise control,and engine interface functions:or oil pressure,oil temp,tire pressure display ,the fact that the spring semester can control that many safety features and fail. In less than five years is of need to investigate as repairing is only dealer part and cost is. Cost prohibited as most safety features should have a ten year lifetime at least.a refrigerator does and it runs 24/7.

This accident is on video if nhtsa wants to review it.there is also a crash data retrieval report and numerous photographs. Truck is available for inspection by nhtsa.the truck dramatically veered off to the right (traveling 75 mph), struck and ricocheted off the right side guardrail, traveled in a diagonal direction across 3 lanes of traffic, struck left guardrail, smashed down an embankment, rolled 2.5 times and came to rest in oncomingtraffic lanes. Not one air bag or side curtain deployed.seatbelt pre-tensioner did not activate.driver sustained brain injury after smashing head on steering wheel so hard, it bent the steering wheel.fca is denying all responsibility despite sending their investigators to denver, colorado to inspect the car.the orc module manufactured by bosch. There is currently a recall for the opposite event occurring (air bags deploying for no reason). Fca refused to pull the vehicle's orc module for further testing. Despite clear evidence of the orc not working ( as confirmed in downloaded crash data), fca continues to ignore the fact that the orc /airbags/seat belts have a problem in this model/make.

2012 to present ram 1500 and other model ram pickups have a defect in the roof seam sealing system allowing water to intrude through the roof at the rear of the headliner.water enters the roof at one or both corners and soaks the side curtain airbags and airbag wiring harness.today i checked and my side curtain airbags and wiring were soaked due to this leaking issue.i am fixing mine immediately on my to prevent serious injury or death due to corrosion or shorting of the wiring and water soakedairbags causing them to either deploy unexpectedly or not deploy during a crash.dealers are declining to make the repair indicating it is a cosmetic issue and vehicle owners must pay to have it fixed.this should be an immediate recall due to the high risks of serious injury and death if the airbags deploy unexpectedly on a rear passenger or worse a child and in the event of a crash, not deploy at all or deploy improperly due to being wet and/or electrical short issues.the water comes in at the roof where the rubber strips are meant to seal the roof front to back but there is still small holes that aren't sealed causing the water to get in.
While living in virginia in 2015, i proceeded to take my dodge ram in to correct a defective wire harness. Recall notice r36, nhtsa 15-459 noted 'the steering wheel wire harness on your vehicle may become chaffed by the driver airbag module retainer spring ends.

Instrument panel lights blinking on and off while vehicle was in operation
When driving the vehicle, the headlights blink (as ifyou are on a bumpy road). Took to mack grubbs/columbia, ms for a recall issue and had them to look at lights.they told me they see that in a lot of those model trucks.i picked up my truck from the recall repair and was informed i owed $40 for diagnosis of the head light issue and that it would be $180 plus tax and labor to repair the passenger side and the same to repair the driver side.that is was a wiring harness issue.the service man told me and my husband that the is very common in the ram trucks.1) that should mean a recall. 2) our truck was in our possession exactly 2 years, 1 day when we dropped it off for the recall issue to be fixed (which was about a week after i had them to diagnos the check engine/lights and was told of a recall and set up the appt). 3) we purchased an electrical insurance at time of vehicle purchase.i do not reccommend this vehicle to anyone!the lights blinking on/off as you are driving makes oncoming traffic blink their lights or think you are trying to stop them.not safe at all.

With around 14000 miles on my truck i was driving home and was alerted that my front left blinker was burnt out, moments later i was notified that my right front blinker was burnt out.a few miles down the interstate from that i was notified that my right fog light had burnt out.i was going to take my truck in the next day (monday morning).before heading to the dealership i inspected my front lights to find that my front driver's side headlight was out also.i waited until the sun came up and prior to heading to the dealership i checked the lights again.all were working so i didn't take my truck to the dealership (monday mid-morning).tuesday morning the cycle repeated itself getting notified first of the left front blinker, then the right front blinker, then the fog light.i saw no reflection from the tail light blinker as well.my truck is currently at the dealership getting checked.
Takata recall while the vehicle was in park the rotary knob would spin back and forth and wouldn't move out of park. It stated service transmission shifter. I diconnected the battery and reconnected it. Very quickly i movedit into drive and was able to get the truck into drive and in motion . Shortly after at a speed of approximately 70 mph, in the middle of the highway,the vehicle shifted from drive into neutral on its owncausing the vehicle's engine to accelerate and once i was able to safely maneuver it to the side of the road, it came to a complete stop and it was stuck in park. I have taken the truck to the dealership in buford, ga for further evaluation. They have stated it was something to do with a code in the computer.
At a red light engine ideal went from 800 rpm to 1500 rpm then back to 800 rpm.after green light started to drive then the electronic throttle light came on. Uncontrolled acceleration of the truck happen could not shut the engine off or get the transmission out of drive had to brake very hard and apply parking brake to stop the truck. Had the warning light for electric throttle on the panel finally the light went out and the throttle respond normally. Headed home when the same happen again with same results nearly had a accident from this. Then the light went out with temporary lost of brakes and control of the truck.then the throttle responded normally until i got home and but the truck into park the warning light came on engine rpm accelerated to 2500 rpm until i could turn the engine off.
I was driving at high speed on the expressway and my electrical power steering quit working. I ran off the road and into the ditch because the truck was too hard to control without the power steering.i could have crashed into someone or injured myself. This is a very dangerous situation to be in if you are driving at any speed. If my wife had been driving it could have been fatal. Additionally, the repairs were over $3500. I will be selling this truck as it is too dangerous for anyone to drive.sincerely, [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Horn no longer works, by pushing it or with key fob locking when locking my truck. I'veread thatthis has happen on multiple ram 1500s. My just stop when exiting my truck and i notice i didnt get any beep when trying to secure my truck. Checked every fuse, relay, even took it to the dealership i purchased it from. Only had the truck for 4 weeks and they told me i would have to pay $600. This is a safety issue and i shouldn't be responsible for a horn not beeping..
The 2014 ram 1500 sport i bought has had repeated dash and interior lighting problems. The dash lights randomly flicker or don't turn on at all. On some occasions no interior lights at all would work. The truck has been back to the dealership three times but still hasn't been repaired. The dealership has done software updates, re-grounded the electrical system and replaced the body control module without fixing the problem. In addition the remote start sometimes does not start the truck it locks the doors instead, the dealership has been unable to find a solution. I feel that the dial used to select the drive gear is a potential safety hazard. The dial is a similar size and shape as the comfort and radio controls and placed right next to other dash knobs. I believe that a driver could intend to change the radio station or turn the fan down but inadvertently take the truck out of gear. Overall this truck has serious electrical flaws and the possibility of being knocked out of gear while driving. The vehicle is not safe in my opinion.
Took the truck in for service on air bag light issue to the dealer, lawton chrysler jeep dodge ram's truck center located at 215 se interstate dr., lawton, ok 73501. I was informed by an employee that the airbag light was a common issue due to a bad design and a cheap plastic wiring harness located under the driver side seat. Any seat adjustments, loose objects rolling under the seat, or even a rear passengers foot could potential make contact with the harness in a manner that breaks it and may trigger the airbag light to come on.. Interstate dr. Martin ok 73501 i was informed by employee that the airbag light was a common issue due to a bad design in the cheap plastic wiring harness located under the driver side seat in the seat that just meant loose objects rolling under the seat or even a rear passengers foot could potential make contact with the harness in a manner that breaks the plastic part. This would trigger the airbag light. My concern is, will the airbag function properly if i'm in an accident? *dtdodge admitted it was poor design.
Tipm (totally integrated power module) failure. Dealership fails to honor vehicle warranty and is not replacing the defective part under full bumper warranty.

I see online that this exact part has many known issues and problems for many similar people. This 1 part affects all problems above because all these parts are electrically controlled.

My door locks sometimes work & sometimes do not. This occurs either by the fob or the physical door lock. It sometimes affects 1 door & other times multiple doors but never the tailgate.i've read through multiple forums, this is caused by the body control module.
Saturday evening we were existing the interstate when i started to smell what seemed like a chemical smell. We could not figure out where this smell was coming from. As we proceeded down the highway, i started to get warm so i turned off the heated seat. When we arrived at our destination, i could still smell the something out of the normal. I begin to look all around. Smelling my jacket to make sure the kids didn't spill something on it, or just try to find where the smell was coming from. Finally, i turn around and realize my heated seat had caught fire. Thank god i had turned the seat warmer off moments earlier. Lucky for me, the truck did not go up in flames. The seat has a deep burn hole and my jacket (which was between the seat and myself) has 2 burns in it. I was unharmed but if it wasn't for me turning the seat off, i'm afraid of what may have happened. Our truck is still under an extended warranty and is now at the dealership to be repaired. However, i asked the dealership who is to report such things? they expressed that they were not sure, but they do not. We have an open case now through the dealership and waiting for further instructions.
When i stopped the truck, i accidentally turned off the key before putting the transmission in park.i saw smoke come from under the dashboard and smelled electrical wires burning.the transmission did go into park.after that the truck started fine, the only noticeable thing is the cruise control no longer works.fortunately no actual vehicle fire resulted from the incident.i am taking the truck in for service, the dealer had never heard of the issue, but will look into it.
I have had 16 incidents with my 2014 ram 1500, vin# [xxx]. Equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission. When i slowed down for a stop to turn right, the transmission went into neutral and the truck coasted down to a stop. The transmission knob would not shift out of drive and the transmission stayed in neutral. When i stopped and turned off motor, i could turn transmission shifter to park, start truck and shift into drive. This happened about 5 weeks apart. Both times i was on a city street and it was not a traffic problem. Current mileage 7455. I called my dealer and he said he had not heard of this problem, and said if it happened again to have to towed to him. I live 150 miles from him. My closest dealer is 60 miles. This is still happening almost monthly. I have dates and times i can send. Don't have room in this form for complete complaintinformation redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. When the trailer lights were plugged into the outlet, they failed to operate intermittently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. While driving at an unknown speed, the low fuel indicator illuminated despite the fact that the contact had just filled his vehicle with fuel the previous day. The contact filled the vehicle with a low amount of fuel and the indicator turned off. The contact stated that the fuel indicator illuminated again while on a trip when the fuel level was at 3/4 fuel capacity. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 59,500. Consumer stated he is having issues with check engine lights and shuts down after 1/2 minute, after reporting to nhtsa.
Approaching a stop sign, i step on the brakes then vehicle went into a slow coast mode. ( a red sign turned on, indicating an "electrical brake"issue). Then indicates "switch gear to park", soon after proceeded as normal. The next day as i was stop on a drive thru, same indication occur, engine power went off then "electrical brake" , next thing was "switch gear to park" resuming to normal operation.very concern about this it is my only form of transportation to and from doctors visit, it has about 46,000 miles on it, very well taken care of. Would not want it to fail on me at a middle of an interception. In between these events, their is no light that appears. Is this a recall issue that can be address immediately please thank you.
Upon starting my truck both while stationary and in motion on city streets and highways, the driver information center screen flickers and intermittently blacks out. The dealership says to move the dic dimmer knob back and forth to correct the issue. That action does not correct the flickering. The dic information includes engine issues, cruise control, speed, vehicle systems warnings, tire air pressure, oil pressure, oil temperature, water temperature, charging system status, anti-lock brake system status, etc. I was told "federal regulations require all information displays be clearly legible.". This is a safety issue, can you help me to get it corrected? let me know.regards,[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
In may 2018 fuel sensor fail i had to come out of my pocket to replace. I brought the truck landmark dodge in morrow ga. I only had it for a year, along with the fake warranty that turn out to be no good. I felt like they stole money from me they did not work for.now today i had to come out of my pocket again to pay for a bad tipm with a bad fuel pump relay. I thought that if i get the truck from the dealer, it would be a few years before start having problem with it. I email dodge support about the problem. I have not receive a email from other than they receive my complaint. Very poor customer service.
Driving on hwy 17 down a ramp, throttle sensor light came on and truck stalled out. Restarted truck to pull off hwy/ramp to safer location, noticed thick bl smoke billowing out from under hood. Pulled into parking lot, lifted hood to see flames coming off engine. Bystander called 911 while i got a bucket of water. Threw bucket of water onto engine while police and fire dept finished extinguishing. Fire dept stated they have seen a few eco fires. Towed to hendrick's, contacted ram. Ram stated no need to contact ins co (they will handle it). Thought this was strange, contacted ins co anyways. Inspected by 2 fire specialists, ins co and ram. Ins co stated manufact defect, ram stated leaky injector (which were replaced by ram 18k mi prior at dealership). I sustained smoke inhalation and 1st degree burns to face,neck,lt arm and had/have headaches. Truck was still under 100k warranty with only 40k. Ram denied opened claim and warranty. Ins co totaled truck out, they still have an open claim against ram. Additionally ram denying my emissions settlement of 3k only offering 900 (stating emissions work couldn't be done due to fire classifying me as a previous owner although i was current owner even at that time). I still haven't settled emissions. Recently ram has recalled all 108k eco-diesels 2014-19 for fire hazard. My truck fits the description for what happens and always needed a little coolant with maint, insp, oil changes. I paid off my truck before, and now have a payment with what i consider a lesser truck. When i call fca and give my info they often hang up, act like they cant hear me, or state they are transferring me to manager (hanging up on me). Also stating someone will get back to me, but never any returned call (supposed to get a call tomorrow, will see).
All of the following in this review happens at all times. When in motion, stationary, all driving conditions and all times of day and night. Overhead console on truck where led courtesy map/reading lights have issues. Light flickers and dims when on. It makes interior visibility near impossible. Upon inspecting the unit the wiring going to the lights and sun room are chaffed and pose as a fire hazard and or equipment failure if shortage occurs.rear third brake light seal deteriorates and lets water into the cab. This can rust out flooring and causes mold issues. Ruins leather seats. Also can deteriorate seat belts possibly as well as rust or cause weakness in seatbelts for rear passengers. Will severely damage and/or stain interior roofing, carpet, seat belts and/or seats.
Instrument cluster flickers and fades.impacts sensors - air pressure monitors alarms come on even though there is no issue with the air pressure monitors, having 2 different shops check on them and advising that they dont need replacing and that the sensors are good.also triggered an alert that the car was not in drive - even though it was in drive. The truck would no go - i had to ashift back to park, turn the truck off and restart it also impacts in cabin lighting - it turns off and while driving it will turn on.this is a serious safety issue and there is no recall for it.shop is unwilling to investigate and offers solution of replacing the whole instrument cluster which is over $1000 usd for the part alone.this issue is ongoing - and it seems to be impacting many many trucks.
My truck continues to light up saying that the fuel cap is loose. I believe that there was a former recall about a crack and engine coolant gas getting into the system, and this was never fixed properly.also, the airbag light continues to come on, and there was a former recall about that and it was never fixed.these are all while stationary.
3 recalls, side airbag inflatable curtain, steering wheel wiring, reprogram occupant restraint control module.contacted local dealer months ago; said they would call with an appointment time, as soon as they received the parts, i'm still waiting for the call- dealer was scranton dodge.
My air conditioning stopped working, i took it to a dealer and they fixed a valve and hose leak. Ac still didn't work. They replaced the evaporator. On the way home from that, i saw my check engine light and anti skid light were on. The dealer fixed that, the next day, i discovered my panel display (for radio and rear camera view) was blank, not working. I took thetruck back in and was told by service rep it might be $800 fix or he'd tried to get warranty which expired to cover it for $50.i have called the service dept at dealer twice without a return call since then. I have checked on-line and found similar complaints. This occurred when dealer was working on it, truck was stationary and only traveled to and from dealer from/to home.
Shifter knob has slipped or changed gears while moving or standing idle. Other times it will not shift into any gear ie: reverse. Also dash lights flicker at times, and at times will not turn off parking lights killing the battery. This has happened several times over the past 2 months.
It started out as flashing instrument cluster and wipers running and engine wouldn't start. Took it to the dealer and nothing was found wrong. Made two more trips for the same thing until they said ants had gotten into it and chewed on the wiring installation. The harness was replaced but no evidence of it being replaced (original factory torque markings still visible). Less than a year later the electrical is still not working properly. The cruise control button is intermittent at best. This morning the engine would not start again and this time it had to be towed in. Still waiting on results.
Parking sensors go off with nothing in front, when wet.there was a star class on this. They exchanged the sensors left to right.the issue followed the sensors.dealer wants to have the vehicle when the issue occurs, as they can not replicate in shop.when it happens, i can't get to shop.has been in shop multiple times. Now vehicle is out of regular warranty, but still issue has not been resolved.
This has happened about 10 times....after i have driven my truck put it in park shut the key off i cant get the key out ...i have to start back up put truck in drive againand shut it off again to get key out
Had steering harness recall down. Now clockspring gone out. Horn cruise control evic screen frozen. Dealer did recall reports not covered.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. The contact stated that the crash avoidance system malfunctioned intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the sensors in the front and rear bumpers were defective and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The failure mileage was 30,000. The vin was not provided.updated 06/01/17*lj
While driving on highway check engine light came on. Smelled burning, another car pulled along side and yelled "you are on fire" after stopping the truck i was able to extinguish the flames under the engine by applying dry powder fire extingisher into the open hood. Later investigation by a chrylser hired investigator indicated the starter cable short circuited to a sharp bracket attached to the frame causing the electrical harness to catch fire.in my opinion chrylser is dragging their feet in authorizing a warranty repair
Got out of work one morning 11-11-2020truck would not start , stated wrong key fob not the problem. Took multiple times to turn the key to start the truck. I changed the key fob battery not the problem. Battery was replaced 1 year ago not the problem. The key fob ignition switch was the problem.had a friend of mine tell me he had the same problem happen to him 4 months ago. Was afraid that if i turn my truck off it would not start back up.
Fuel level sensor came on. Many others having same problem. Vehicle was moving.
Fuel pump sensor failed. Replaced the part, bought from the dealership. Installed and worked for two days before the sensor again failed. When the fuel tank is filled the gauge does not sense any fuel in the car. Also the car's computer system fails to tell you which part is in failure- the brake light indicator went on for the passenger side brake light, it wasactually the brake light on the cab that was out.
Truck took brief periods where it would just suddenly die going down the road, then the last time running about 60 mph, it died not far from home and smoke billowed out from under the hood wafting its way inside the cab...son-in-law fought the steering and managed to bring it to a stop on the shoulder of the road...with my granddaughters in the back seat....they were almost overcome by this black obnoxious smoke and both suffered for the longest time a harsh, dry cough...i noticed there are limited recalls on this model of truck and none seem to be related to electrical fires under the hood...how ever these vehicles are unsafe and pose a significant hazard to all the motoring public...they should be recalled and all of them destroyed to protect the public and the passengers...dealership sated the 'brain box and starter burned up' and is not a warranty issue...but the health and well being of my grandchildren are far more important than chrysler's profit margin.
Since this truck was new there has been an intermittent issue with the control panel going dead, or losing power. This panel includes the ability to change the truck into various 4x4 settings as well as the panel that controls many other functions such as the heated/cooled seats, air ride suspension etc. Sometimes the turning off the truck and then restarting it clears the issue, other times it does nothing. There are other people with the same issue. Http://www.ramforumz.com/showthread.php?t=179332&highlight=control+panel this is a safety issue due to not being able to engage or disengage 4x4 when needed as well as being very distracting to the driver.
The air suspension has not been working properly for well over a year now it intermittently goes down to the bump stops and could cause a serious injury to persons in other vehicles plus my own because any bump that your hit cause the truck to bounced losing traction with the road and that even means when slowing down the traction control abs bricks in and cause the wheels to not lock up ,, also the truck can't hold the load if and in the bed cussing unsafe handling around corners andthrew traffic
Long crank times before starting starved of fuel like it is out am told it will cost around $1000 to fix it timp .a relay for the fuel pump.also have issue with cruise already replaced it only 60000 miles on the vehicle.
The contact owns a 2014 dodge ram 1500. While driving 60 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and failed to respond. In addition, the electronic throttle control warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, who diagnosed that the electronic throttle control needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 9,000.updated 2/24/15updated 9/11/2017
Received notice on 9/3/2015 aboutexhaust high frequency decoupler and notice on 10/9/2015 for battery wire harness. The dealer says they don't have parts. I received another notice on 1/20/2016 for same two problems. Dealer says they have no parts. Its been seven months and no word on parts.
Fuel sensor fail occurs when tank gets to halfway point; once it fails the tank appears to be empty and a check engine light comes on. Me, along with thousands of other drivers experience this. My vehicle started experiencing this with only 50,000 miles, this shouldn't be happening and this is a defective unit. A failure such as this can cause headaches to drivers by giving them a false sense of what is actually being presented to them on their instrument panel.
Unable to toggle through screens on the dashboard and control buttons do not function on steering wheel and no cruise control function.
Most recent episode of truck shutting off while driving was while crossing railroad tracks in rural area pulled up to look both ways to cross then started over tracks truck shut off in middle of track needless to say a train was coming around corner, when train was 200 yrd away luck forced it into neutral. Needless to say have had it in the shop multiple time in 2015 and ram stated it wasn't throwing code for it to shut off. They let the death trap back on road. This truck has multiple electrical problems.
Fuel sending unit malfunctions causing the fuel gauge to go to empty and back to full
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. While driving 70 mph, the engine revved and the entire instrument panel illuminated. Also, the vehicle accelerated uncontrollably and then decreased with a knocking noise present. Furthermore, when the brake pedal was depressed, the engine continued to rev. The vehicle was serviced at texas dodge (7800 i-40 frontage rd, amarillo, tx 79106, (806) 353-6343) per nhtsa campaign number: 18v332000 (electrical system, vehicle speed control), but the remedy failed to repair the failures. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken back to the same dealer and the software was updated again, but the cause of the failures could not be determined. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was 127,000. *dt
The contact owns a 2014 dodge ram 1500. While driving, the key came out of the ignition and the vehicle could still be driven without the key. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 56,880.
The main headlamps stopped working while i was driving on the highway at night. I had to play with the knob to at 70mph in the dark to make them work again. They malfunction when the switch is set to "auto." since then, the lights also turn themselves on intermittently when stationary in the middle of the night.
This is the second time we have had to have something fixed on the abs and trac light repaired. They had to repair the wire and replace wire connector, then clear code for us. Is there other people having issues with this? the milage is only 26414 and the vehicle is less than 3 years old.
The remote control can start the vehicle just by contact in a pocket.the auto start is too exposed on the key fob.it has started my ram truck in my garage while i was inside the house, causing a carbon monoxide hazard.also any movement can lock or unlock the vehicle at any time just my the contact of clothing while in a pocket.this is a severe hazard and can cost lives.dodge needs to re-engineer the fob to make it safe.
2014 dodge ram laramie longhorn, just bought and my service air bag lights are flashing 9n and off.they say its the harness in the drivers seat.when starting the vehicle it flashes and and off, and while driving its flashing on and off.i feel very unsafe driving my own car.
I got into my truck to leave from work. When i started the engine, the "battery voltage low" warning instantly came on. Just a few seconds later, the "service power steering" warning came on as well. At this time the radio shut off. My truck then said: "battery saver mode" was on, and the radio came back on. The power steering was completely off/not working, so i was very grateful that i was sitting in the parking lot and not driving while this happened as it could've caused a major accident! i limped along slowly with my flashers on, to an autozone to have them check my battery. They were very busy, so even though my battery was less than a year old, i simply bought a brand new one to see if it fixed the problem with both the battery (which should not have been a problem at all) but more importantly, the power steering failure. Thankfully, i had a nearly straight shot to get home, but it was very hard to steer the truck, and i'm a big guy, so for the average person, they would have most likely had to call a tow truck. I have started it up every day since then which was 5 days ago, and i have absolutely no power steering at all. This should never happen on a vehicle...never. And i had zero problems with it, so why would it just fail for no apparent reason? there must be a recall for this; please advise. Thank you.
While driving the 2014 ram 1500 the vehicle has lost power numerous times. This is an intermittent issue and i have not been able to duplicate on the spot. This means that the lose of power can happen at any given time. This lose of power will result in losing steering and sometimes braking, since all are controlled by electronics. These occurrences have happened while normal driving conditions; rolling up windows, turning on bright lights, and just driving.
2014 dodge ram truck. Consumer writes in regards to fuel sensor problems. *ld
The inline fuel pump system is incorrect it has electrical inside the fuel tank there should be a screen at the neck of the fuel tank then there should be a screen at the bottom of the fuel tank by the outlet at the bottom of fuel tank then a hose to the fuel filter then there should be a fuel pump then the lines fuel lines to engine!because the electrical is in the tank it will cause a fire!to fix the problem with the float to keep the electrical out of the fuel tank on the fuel gauge you should put the electrical lines at the top of the tank with a rheostat then have the float turn as it increases or decreases which turns the rheostat and sends the signal 2 the gauge so all of the electrical is out of the tank this is the safest!
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. The contact experienced electrical failures while driving or starting the vehicle intermittently. The contact stated that the vehicle had no trailer brake, traction control, or center console functionality. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the radio caused the electrical short and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The radio was replaced five times. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 36,000.
Vehicle stalls and loses all power and electrical, shifting itself into park while driving. This is due to the faulty tipm in chrysler vehicles. This has occurred while driving with my wife and children on the highway and on many other occasions; there is no warning or indication that it is going to happen, it just happens. This is unsafe and could result in multiple fatalities. This has been an ongoing issue since december 2018. I purchased the vehicle in may 2018. After doing research as to what the problem could be i discovered that this is an ongoing issue that chrysler is aware of and to my knowledge have done nothing to resolve this issue. Had i known that purchasing this vehicle would endanger my family, i never would have even considered buying it.
The contact owns a 2014 dodge ram 1500. While driving 30 mph, the vehicle experienced a complete loss of power. All of the warning indicators were illuminated on the instrument panel.

Less than 100k miles, 4 issues started, 1-fuel level sensor 2- service trailer brake system 3- anti lock brakes system- cruse control does not work.
Error code p0463: fuel level sensor circuit high input, this means my fuel gauge is experiencing failures and i can not accurately determine how much fuel is in the vehicle. Doing a quick google search, this appears to be a very common issue with the 2014 ram 1500 5.7l. I'm at roughly 68500 mile on my truck so the issue is also out of warranty.
8 speed automatic shift knob is awkward & we have began exiting vehicle several times while running, but still in drive!!
My trucks 'service electronic throttle control' light (lightning bolt) comes on both when starting my vehicle and when driving my vehicle. When it comes on when i try to start the truck, it wont change out of the gear it is in (ie i cant go faster than 15-18mph). It sometimes goes off if i turn the engine on and off multiple times. The more dangerous timing of it is when the light comes on while i'm driving.this either causes me to downshift into a lower gear which throws me forward and revs the engine in excess of 3000rpm, or while i am stopped, the rpms climb without any foot on the accelerator. If i take my foot off the brake while this happens, i accelerate forward either up to 18mph or 30mph depending which gear it is 'stuck' in. I have taken it to one local ram dealer 6 times reporting the same issue. The did flash updates, replaced accelerator pedal sensor, brake sensor, repaired connector for the accelerator pedal sensor, and replaced throttle body (all of which at the time, they said each individual component was the root of the problem). I have taken it to another local ram dealer, and they attempted to fix it with 4 and a half hours of diagnostic time. They replaced the throttle body and replaced a cable/connector and low and behold, the problem still exists. This is very dangerous for so, so many reasons. I note that not only the check engine light have come on, but the traction control light, abs light, service 4wd light, ! temp light, check brake light, and of course the service electronic throttle control light.
I just bought myself a brand new 2014 ram 1500 in november 2014 and today on january 05 2015 i get in the truck to go to lunch and the check engine light comes on and the external temp. Gauge reads the it is -40 degrees which is impossible considering i live in south georgia, also my odometer reading is blank and my front windows wont go down. The truck only has 1,922 miles on it and all of this happened at the same time.
Cruise control will not turn on. Unable to access horn will not blow, information board unable access, buttonson steering wheel failure. Does recall r36
At a stop light on a 2 lane highway, the light turned green, pressed the gas pedal and about 900 feet later i lost compulsion. I quickly got off the highway just in time before the truck stopped rolling, it just died.
Since i purchased my ram, the check engine light comes on and off as if pleases and randomly it will tell me fuel sensor fail. This comes on and offrandomly but lately it happens at least once a trip.
Numerous electrical problems, blowing fuses, blowing light bulbs, and radio issues. I had to replace three fuses and have only had the brand new vehicle despite it was on the dealers lot with 5 miles on it when i test drove it. In a years time i have had to replace one head light build, one right brake tail light bulb. Had to replace the three brake light due to leaking. I am getting ready to have the third radio replaced by dealer. The dealer has had to also work on the rear window twice which was leaking severally, and the dealer has also replaced the shark fin satellite antenna once. I am also starting to see driver's side window moving roughly not smooth as others three windows still are smooth operation. I have also had five recalls serviced and assumed to have been fixed or maybe they are causing these or other issues!
Cannot put it to work it will not haul a trailer, can't drive because it will turn off in bumpy roads, been marking ' shift to desire gear to drive' we have been fighting with people from the agency ( don davis ) and they say they cannot find problems. Changed shift cragter twice, no luck! i took it with the enginge like turned on and can't seem to find a 'code' the truck starts shaking up before it turns off completely. It's a matter of safety for myself and my family.
I have taken the vehicle to big o dodge in greenville, sc 3 times to have the problem of power loss. I have to get a boost each time to crank each day and the battery is good.
While living in virginia in 2015, i proceeded to take my dodge ram in to correct a defective wire harness. Recall notice r36, nhtsa 15-459 noted 'the steering wheel wire harness on your vehicle may become chaffed by the driver airbag module retainer spring ends. A chaffed steering wheel wire harness could cause an electrical short and/or an inadvertent driver airbag deployment. Inadvertent driver airbag deployment, during certain driving conditions, may increase the risk of a crash and/or vehicle occupant injury.'after that recall was performed, i lost all use of my horn, and electrical features installed on the steering wheel. I drove several years without these features and never really had time to get this evaluated because of multiple military deployments. We relocated to ohio and i decided to have the truck evaluated and basically the recall work was never corrected by fair oaks chantilly chrysler dealership. On july 8 through july 11, 2019, my vehicle was serviced by jeff wyler chrysler, dodge, jeep in batavia, ohio to corrected the recall notice r36, nhsta 15-459.my service manager noted to submit a claim to be reimbursed for $403.78. They reached out to chrysler headquarters for further consultation, however, they never responded to my service manager.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. While driving approximately 60 mph, the cruse control did not engage. On other occasions, the cruise control did not deactivate. The failures occurred for approximately one month. The vehicle was taken to baxter jeep/ram/chrysler (7713 s 19th street, belleview, ne 68147) where it was diagnosed that the harness for the steering column was shorting out and needed replacement. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 45,000.
While driving i had a sudden failure of the fuel level sensor unit along with a check engine light.the fuel level sensor caused the fuel gauge to drop to empty immediately and the dte estimate to show low fuel.when new unit was picked up from the dealership i was advised that he had been selling a large amount of the specific part and to hold onto my receipt since it had a 2 year warranty.
I believe when my truck was in for the last recall the dealer said they needed to flash my tipm and no 8m having starting issues with my truck . This will be the fifth time my truck has had issues and not really trusting dodge right now.
The airbag warning light keeps coming on and off (along with the accompanying "ding").i think there is a short in the wiring under the driver's seat.whenever i go over big bumps it seems to cause the issue more often.
During cold weather in minnesota, the electronic power steering failed to respond causing my truck to go into the ditch.
My brand new vehicle had a front left headlight that was out. Stopped by police, went to dealer next day, they said they see this across model line. Brand new car . Was concerned how dark road was driving at night..never thought on a brand new car this would occur !

Check electronic braking system light comes on and cruise and everything goes out. Had brakes done, it also says towing brake. On interstate for about 30 mins and it dings, the light comes on and cruise stops
There is a 1 to 2 second lag when pressing the horn button and when the horn actually sounds. With the lag, it is nearly impossible to sound the horn immediately when someone is encroaching into your lane or any other time when the horn needs to be sounded to prevent an accident.
While driving at approx. 50 mph the engine suddenly shut off.the warning light flashed service 4wd, check engine light, and many other warning lights on the dash and electronic selector. After stopping, without power brakes working, the truck would not start.i allowed to truck to sit, with flashers on, for about 10 minutes.after the 10 minute wait, the truck started and seem to drive normally.i went directly to local dealership (sharp dodge in pulaski, tn). The technician wasn't able to find a "code" related to the shut down.they only found indications of "voltage overload" not further defined.this occurred on april 8, 2021 on hwy 31a, approx 0600 hrs near the city of pulaski, tn 38478.note:. The engine /long block was replaced by the same dealer at172000 and under mopar warranty due to internal engine issues involving#5 lifter and damaged cam shaft.
The screen on my instrument cluster flashes or turns off completely. Dealership said itā€™s a common problem. Over $1000 to repair.

Check engine light came on.that was 9/24/14.the check engine light has been through a myriad of "fixes".it is now 02/03/15 (5 1/2 months) - the check engine light is still on and the dealership has it in for "repair".the warranty requires that the vehicle not be driven when the check engine light is on, thus denying us of the regular use of the vehicle, which is critical in our cattle operation.the full nature of the complaint may be obtained by faxing or emailing a request to us.

When drivingat a low speed the power steering assist shut off. The red light with the power steering symbol and ! came on. I pulled over and turned off the vehicle and restarted the engine and it was working again, u til i came to a low speed. Checked the fuse #78 and it looked ok, plugged it back in and no issue for 3 & 1/2 days , until this morning. There is a recall for this issue on ram 1500 yrs 2013 to 2019, but my vin does not register for the recall. This started monday evening.
The radio just stops working. I have the connect 5.0 my screen will flash back and fourth from the back up camera to a blue screen while i'm driving. This happens while driving.
After pulling into my drive way with my adult son in the passenger seat i was rolling up to the garage with my foot on the brake pedal slowing down the truck. I stopped the truck completely, by pushing on the brake pedal harder, about 5 feet from the house.i reached down to rotate the shift dial to park, "p".after turning to "p" the truck engine started revving and the truck lurched forward, after initially being startled i looked down and saw the shift dial was at "p" and the engine was still revving. The truck then struck the corner of the house while i was almost standing up on the brake pedal trying to get it to stop.i turned the shift dial to reverse and back to park and the truck stopped revving and moving. Then i backed away from the house.being a retired police detective the first thing i did was to check to see if the factory floor mat had dislodged and jammed into the pedals but it was properly hooked in place. After getting the trucks body damage repaired i had it towed to the dealer but they could find nothing wrong with the truck.i did notice that when i picked the truck up from the dealer there was a clicking sound under the dash when i rotated the shift dial from "r" to "p" that i do not recall hearing before.no clicking is heard when changing between any other gears.
Stopped for gas then drove 100 feet to store.ten minutes later truck had no electrical power, had to use key to open door.entire system shut down. Had vehicle towed to dodge dealer they diagnosed bad winn ignition module truck only had 38,000 miles on it.same thing happened at 35,600 miles and dealership replaced battery and alternator.this problem can happen at anytime even when driving according to other remarks.i told service tech that a couple times a week the key will not engage on first try but then will start vehicle and this has been happening for months.he said that is an indication of the module going bad.i wish i would have know at 36,000 miles or less.i will submit repair orders to dodge to be reimbursed (lol).
On 12/13/2014, i purchased a new, 2014 dodge ram 1500 in san antonio, texas. On 01/23/2015, after accumulating 1000 miles on the odometer, i triggered the key fob to unlock the vehicle only to have the entire electrical system fail. I could not start the vehicle no matter what i tried.i notified dodge and had the vehicle towed to the dealership on 01/24/2015. After several visits to the dealership and numerous telephone calls, i could not receive any definitive answer as to what was being diagnosed or done to fix the problem. Eventually, i had to open a case file through dodge customer service. They too, were met with the same uncertainty and could not provide any additional information.after 40 days in maintenance and a great deal of acquired stress, the vehicle was finally returned in working order. The cause ? a faulty, total integrated power module (tipm).upon further investigation of this unit i have come to find that (1) chrysler is aware of this issue, (2) there is a national backorder for tipm?s stretching months, and (3) legal action is pending.due to the circumstances that i had to endure, i no longer want this truck, nor do i trust its integrity. Although the system failed at my home, it could have very well happened on the road and caused ?who knows what?. I am done with this vehicle.

Cruise control won't turn on. I've read that if i was able to turn it on it might not disengage.
On the push button start whenever you close a door an alarm goes off stating can't find key fob.just put a new battery in key fob and it still does it.when that happens will not start and when running the alarm still goes off if a door is closed,so you have to turn off engine and use manual over ride to start again
The engine check light illuminated in the instrument panel. I took the vehicle to my dealership and they diagnosed the problem as a fuel level sensor stuck. When the light first illuminated the vehicle was parked. Consumer stated when the sensor fails ity causes the fuel gauge to plummet to empty.
Driving along at highway speeds, the "throttle control sensor" light comes on for a quick second, then goes off, and "enginge light" goes on.withing seconds, the truck loses power, giving you little to no time to prepare and react.it has happened in l.a. On frwy with loads of traffic, it's so dangerous trying to get over to the side without being killed!it has happened 2 tiimes while in tow mode pulling trailers, again so dangerous when suddenly you have no power.once while pulling horses in the trailer, on an up-hill, with cars behind me and no where to pull over (no shoulder).so unsafe, i was badly shaken over that one with my horsesin tow.so this has happened 4 times to us, dodge has had in shop 4 times and cannot fix.it is terrifing to be going along and have your power cut in a moments time, and be in "limp mode".we can no longer trust this truck.so dangerous
I have had multiple check engine lights come on stating that there was high voltage on the fuel sensor as well as had my fuel gauge stop working and my cluster read fuel sensor fail. The dealership said it was a dead spot in the fuel level sensor and the pump had to be replaced but won't cover it under warranty. This happens now every time my fuel gauge gets to 1/2 a tank and goes off when i get under a 1/4 tank
Radio and screen goes blank and stays blank for a period off time (intermittently) when starting the vehicle. It effects the climate control ie: (defroster and heater can't be turned on), rear camera, outside temperature, direction, phone, radio and the seat warmers don't work. This happens when stationary and in motion.
Truck lost all abs break controls, speedometer stopped working and vehicle became stuck in park. The abs module and abs motor were saturated in water. Found recall on dodge journey which matches my issue. Seems like ram needs to look into issue. Truck has 44246 miles
Air bag light kept coming on.seen recall on my vehicle(15v-459), in regard to wire harness causing short in the electrical system.the dealer now state that the wire harness to the airbag has shorted out under the seat. Costing approximately $401.00.could this be caused by the recall on 2014 dodge ram.
I started the truck and noticed that the controls on the steering wheel for the radio and blue tooth did not work. I also noticed that the horn did not work. I can not scroll through the information center to check the tire pressure, speed, oil life or any other items in the information center. I also do not know if this issue affects the air bag being able to deploy. I can not reset the oil life after i change the oil.
Theirs a lot of recalls they don't fix them and i'm scare of driving the truck.
Takata recall.when my 2014 ram 1500 is stationary, moving, or just turned the car on. My touch screen goes black, freezes, and i cannot controll the heat or a.c, fan speed, volume to the radio, radio, heated seats,any electronic buttons on my steering wheel or any of the buttons that are connected to my screen/radio. My daughter's boy friend just purchased the same year turck i did and he started having the same problems with his screen.
After driving my truck all day .. I came home and after 3 hours i wanted to go to the gym but my truck would not turn over.. I had to get a jump start but it never charged and wouldn't start once again...
2014 ram 1500 laramie ecodiesel throwing fault code p203e reductant level sensor circuit intermittent/erratic. This fault is caused by crystallized diesel exhuast fluid (def) on the integrated sensor in the def tank. The sensor is unable to detect the amount of fluid in tank and will shut down engine after 500 miles if the tank is not replaced. I do believe after extensive research this is a manufacturing defect. There are two different recalls for this fault which are: number: 18-038-15 rev. B and number: 25-001-15 rev a. The first one covers a pcm flash for the 2015 ram and 2014 jeep grand cherokee. In the notes it says that this is for all 3 liter 8 speed transmissions. Which should also include a 2014 ram ecodiesel. The second one if for 2014-15 ram 2500,3500+ with 6.7l diesel engines. The issue i have with that is my vehicle is having that exact issue and needs the same services but it has a 3 liter engine.
I've owned 4 chrysler/dodge vehicles 98 avenger, 99 ram 1500, 03 300 m and now 2014 ram 1500 which everyone has had electrical issues. I have not put money into my new truck yet but have put thousands into other vehicles before i sold them for less than blue book just to be rid of all the issues. I bought my currant truck new in june 2014, i first began noticing glitches late summer 2015 and now there are electric surges, fault indicators that are fine and lights will not shut off killing my battery. I bought new this time assuming i would eliminate these issues but i was wrong, my truck has had no accidents of any sort and yet i have a $35,000 truck that's unreliable as well as unsafe. Durning my research chrysler has been aware of this issue for decades and should be responsible for their lack of safety concerns for their customers. Very disheartening as well as frustrating
All buttons on front right side of steering wheel (cruise control, gear+/-) have completely stopped functioning. Vehicle has 44,000 miles, steering wheel wire harness was supposedly replaced a year ago under recall
The radio controls so much of the vehicle components and systems and i am now on my third radio unit and still have electrical problems all over the vehicle and not sure if this is related. Fuses blowning, bulbs blowing, etc.

Rear left taillight turn signal(blinker) went out.checked with dealership in gladstone oregon and was told that there were over 300 taillights with the same problem as mine within the same distribution area as the portland, or area.this should like a problem once again and it is a safety issue
Transmission will shift into neutral when slowing down to turn or stop. Necessary to turn off engine start and put into gear. This has happened 18 times to date. I have a 4 page document detailing each time, place, and occurance. If i had an address to sent to. I am in a small town so have nor has any traffic problems but if i go to a large city this would be bad to stop and restart vehicle in heavy traffic. Have had to dealers twice. First one told me they could not find anything. And second dealer after keeping my vehicle 3 days said he did not have time to look at it. Ntsb # 10748878
While driving on a highway there was a loud thump from the engine. Engine lost power and shut down. Info screen displayed 'check trailer brake,' 'electronic throttle control,' and 'towing mode''.'was not towing anything at the time. Able to pull to side of the road safely. Engine will not start now. Vehicle towed to dealership. Awaiting information from dealer on repair.
The vehicle's instrument cluster flickers from bright to extremely dark. The dodge dealership traced the issue back to the icp module. As this module continues to flicker it draws the attention of the operator away from the road. The module also indicates engine issues, this could lead to a loss of control resulting in a crash.
I had a big rain storm about 3 weeks ago that brought around 8 inches of rain into my area. There was a factory defect with the third brake light and satellite radio antenna seals that aloud water to enter the cab of the truck. Everything in the cab of the truck was soaked.i had 6 inches on standing water in the compartments. When i drove the truck after 3 days of raining water began to pour out from the headliner onto the dashboard. Dodge refused to do anything with the ram because it was 700 miles out of the warranty. A week after the storm, i started the ram to warm up one morning and when i went to get in the truck every warning light was on, it was beeping, i could to shift it into gear nor could i turn the truck off. Once i stepped out of the truck it locked the doors with the truck still running and i could not unlock the doors for an hour later.usaa has total my ram out but chrysler has not taken responsibility for this issue. After researching online the leak is a huge problem dating back to 2004.
While no accident has occurred, in my opinion this is a significant safety issue. The uconnect system either becomes disconnected or has a poor reception while driving. It is very inconsistent in the way it performs. It creates a safety problem because when this occurs you naturally attempt to either reconnect or disconnect from the system creating a significant distraction.attempts by the dealer to fix the problem have been unsuccessful.
Vehicle recently passed 3yr/36k warranty.check engine light and "fuel level sensor" failure code intermittently flash on and off again.when active, i lose all fuel gauge fuel level indication.i note that there are other nhtsa complaints about this and see many online forum discussions abut this.the fuel sensor failure comes on and off while driving the vehicle.the warning is distracting to normal driving, as it takes your attention off the road to check and see what has happened to the vehicle, not knowing if this is a new failure, a tire pressure issue, or something else.i would like nhtsa to look and see if this is a broader issue that needs a recall / manufacturer repair.
My truck has been cutting off while driving on the road. Took it to landmark dodge in morrow, ga. They did two repairs to fix the problem, and charge me on the 8/31/20 first repair $968.81. It cut off at a couple miles from the shop. Second repairs on the 9/11/20. Pick it up on the 9/14/20. Those repair cost me $1830.20. Again it cut off a couple miles down the road while driving.i had complain before about the faulty totally integrated power module. Dodge had warranty the part. But since then i have replace it four or five times. I paid for the repairs that supposed to fix it. But they are not listening to me. I pull a trailer on the highway, and if the truck cut off, it will put me at risk and who ever driving around me. The dealership had my truck from 8/20/20 to 9/14/20 with same problem that i brought it in for. Now i fill like the truck is a lemon.
Fuel sensor failure. It is a known ongoing issue with ram trucks (it is posted all over the internet) about all models and years going through this defective sensor. It has my engine light on and my gauge stuck on empty if i drive 15miles on a full tank. (gauge only works if tank if 100%full and engine light is still on even then)
I was driving down the road, fortunately in my neighborhood when i saw a brief alert regarding my trailer towing system before the truck completely shut down in the middle of the road. I was unable to restart and had to call a tow service. My mechanic stated it was a crank position sensor failure according to his diagnostic computer
The fuel gauge stopped working and the check engine light came on at 49k miles on my 2014 ram truck. After doing research online, it's a very common problem. Most comments say around 35k to 60k miles on ram trucks, the check engine light will come on and the fuel gauge drops to zero. At most mechanic shops, the price is around $800 for the repair. The repair consists of two options.... 1) drop the fuel tank from under the truck and replace the fuel pump w/fuel sensor.2) unbolt the bed and back bumper in order to raise the bed completely and replace the fuel pump w/fuel sensor. This is a minor issue and happening all of the time. It's very expensive and this may have to me done every 50k miles or so.
'takata recall'while my vehicle is parked in my driveway it is unlocking on its own. Has been happening every night for about 2 weeks. I have a security camera and can see that nobody is messing with my truck.
My dash lights have been flickering on and off during the day and night and i cannot tell how fast i am going at night sometimes. Also my backup camera does not work, sometimes.
There is a continuous unknown electrical draw causing the battery to drain to the point the vehicle will not start. An electrical surge will cause the electric suspension to activate along with the console cluster after the vehicle has been turned off. The vehicle has been back to the dealership 6 times and neither the dealership or chrysler has a fix. The condition is getting worse and now there is a new issue affecting the electrical clutches in the transmission. I have requested a loaner vehicle until i can purchase a different vehicle i feel is safer. On april 3, 2014, the district chrysler representative denied the request. I believe this vehicle is unsafe for multiple possible reasons but especially concerned about he alternator. The alternator's function is to recharge the battery once it's been used to start the engine. And to keep the battery charged when various electrical systems are used in the vehicle. The alternator determines how much to charge the battery by measuring the reference voltage from the battery. If there's a problem with the battery where the reference voltage is very low, the alternator will try to recharge the battery. The alternator isn't designed to recharge a dead battery. It's intended to maintain the charge on a good battery. When this does happen, the alternator begins to run hot, and this is what kills the alternator. A dead battery while driving means no electric steering,no antilock brakes, no air bags, ect. I'm very concerned about the safety of this vehicle.
On 11/22/17 at around 5pm driving east bound on i-76 in pennsylvania our 2014 ram 1500 ecodiesel engine caught on fire.as i tried to stop i realized i had no brakes.we slowed to a stop as we started up a hill, i put it in park and we all got out just in time.a certified chrysler mechanic had just 2 days earlier finished installing a new engine.both the dealership & chrysler have denied all ownership and no root cause evaluation has been completed.i believe a fuel line failed due to faulty workmanship, but without a third party independent investigation i guess we will never know and some other customer may experience the same thing.
Dash lights will not turn off when truck is turned off. Have to disconnect battery for lights to turn off.
Ram dash light problemsi have a 2014 dodge ram 1500 i am currently experiencing problems with the dash lights won't turn off. On the morning the battery was dead. I jumped . All other lights are off (headlights/interior/etc) except the dash and the light that shows it's in park and disconnected the negative terminal so i don't drain the battery.
The inline fuel system is incorrect and the electrical should not be in the tank!there should be filter at the neck then there should be a screen at the bottom of the tank where the outlet is then there should be a hose to the fuel filter and then from the fuel filter there should be an electrical pump the electrical pump should never be in the fuel tank and the electrical fuel pump is in the fuel tank which can cause i major fire!all vehicles have this problem and need to be fixed!

Driver heading down hill used the + and - indicators to manually put the transmission into 3rd gear. Going approximately 60/70 mph heard the transmission slip into 2nd gear and the rpm's began to increase. The vehicle continued to accelerate through the manual breaking of the driver. The driver took the next exit placing the vehicle into neutralwhen a transmission sensor flashed. Still with no gas the engine continued to accelerate. The driver who was able to place the vehicle into park off the exit turned the vehicle off and when turning back on engine continued throttle as if in full acceleration. Vehicle was turned off and towed to vista autogroup in silverthorne, co. Vehicle was repaired finding a faulty acceleration pedal sensor.
Air suspension fails in cold weather, sometimes turns off traction control and provides a rough ride in ice and snow, making the vehicle less safe.this occurs in all types of driving and has been a problem since i bought it.
Won't brake properly and have no traction control both abs and traction lights stay on..transmission sometimes don't shift properly for a new vehicle.
My truck has been cutting off while driving on the road. Took it to landmark dodge in morrow, ga. They did two repairs to fix the problem, and charge me on the 8/31/20 first repair $968.81. It cut off at a couple miles from the shop. Second repairs on the 9/11/20. Pick it up on the 9/14/20. Those repair cost me $1830.20. Again it cut off a couple miles down the road while driving.i had complain before about the faulty totally integrated power module. Dodge had warranty the part. But since then i have replace it four or five times. I paid for the repairs that supposed to fix it. But they are not listening to me. I pull a trailer on the highway, and if the truck cut off, it will put me at risk and who ever driving around me. The dealership had my truck from 8/20/20 to 9/14/20 with same problem that i brought it in for. Now i fill like the truck is a lemon.
Engine light on, diagnostic reading: cylinder 6 misfire detected. Random/multiple misfire detected. Number 6 cylinder has a high count of no compression. The engine light stays on stationary and in motion.
Steering wheel doesn't lock and sensor is also causing cruise control to malfunction. This could be unsafe if that sensor controls anything else
Check electronic braking system light comes on and cruise and everything goes out. Had brakes done, it also says towing brake. On interstate for about 30 mins and it dings, the light comes on and cruise stops
Driving to indiana to see my grandbabies and the check electronic trailer brakes came on the check electronic braking system light came on. Cruise control stopped working and lost power, the same thing happened on the way back to kentucky.i had the brakes done, but mechanic said it's a sensor ithe steering column. This is really dangerous and needs to be recalled.
I have brought my truck back to the dealership due to a rattle in my steering wheel.the rattle occurs when traveling from a standstill up to 30 miles per hour.the dealer was made aware of this situation the week that the bought the truck.it has been brought back 5 times, and each time they acknowledged that there was an issue with my steering system.they stated that they could hear the rattle, and would fix it.the first 3 times it was brought to the dealer, they sent me away stating that they corrected the issue.once i got back home, and encountered bumpy roads, the rattle was still there.the following 2 times it was at the dealership, they sent me away stating that they would not work on my vehicle any further because they did not know what was causing the rattle.they have reseated both the passenger side and drivers side air bags, they tightened a wire harness on my steering column, then they replaced my steering column coupling, and finally they replaced the entire steering column.they have no idea what they are trying to fix.they stated to me that the know there is an issue, but do not know what is causing it.this issue could very well be a safety issue, as it has to do with my steering system.my vehicle has 5000 miles on it, and has been back to the dealer ship 5 times.i have owned the vehicle for 5 months.
Trailer brake warning came on and it automatically shut off my cruise control. I just had the brakes redone a couple of months ago. This has happened before, and it usually after a recall for code updating is done. I was on a 4 lane highway doing 70mph when this happened.
Truck lost all abs break controls, speedometer stopped working and vehicle became stuck in park. The abs module and abs motor were saturated in water. Found recall on dodge journey which matches my issue. Seems like ram needs to look into issue. Truck has 44246 miles
Electronic stability control warning indicator is illuminated. A clicking noise occurs when the steering wheel is turned to the right. Vehicle veers to the left or right upon exiting turns and continuing in a forward direction.
This has happened on a multitude of occasions. While driving the vehicle, the check engine light, the traction control light will both come on. At the same time as the lights the messages show up and say to service shifter knob, then right after that the service trailer brake system message shows up and will be the only message found in the messages folder. The check engine light and the traction control light stay on. When trying to get the traction control light to go out by pressing the traction control button, nothing happens. This is telling me that i do not have any traction control. This will become a major issue when it snows. Each of these instances have happened while moving both on and off the highway and while at a stop. This has happened also while on the highway about seven months ago while on the highway in the snow.
While driving at approx. 50 mph the engine suddenly shut off.the warning light flashed service 4wd, check engine light, and many other warning lights on the dash and electronic selector. After stopping, without power brakes working, the truck would not start.i allowed to truck to sit, with flashers on, for about 10 minutes.after the 10 minute wait, the truck started and seem to drive normally.i went directly to local dealership (sharp dodge in pulaski, tn). The technician wasn't able to find a "code" related to the shut down.they only found indications of "voltage overload" not further defined.this occurred on april 8, 2021 on hwy 31a, approx 0600 hrs near the city of pulaski, tn 38478.note:. The engine /long block was replaced by the same dealer at172000 and under mopar warranty due to internal engine issues involving#5 lifter and damaged cam shaft.
Engine keeps stalling randomly coming to a stop or idling during times, wants to turn off while putting in reverse, have had a new battery put in and alternator has checked out good through dodge themselves. Issues started happening in november when the temperatures got cold. Purchased truck in july 23. Had an interlock system put in and had no issues with it until winter.
While trying to engage cruisecontrol must bang steering wheel hard to in gage also when hitting bump in freeway enginenstops stayes running speed lost then goes back to normal lights on dashboard change brightness at night trans shifts odd at times
2014 dodge ram. Consumer writes in regards to diesel water pump safety recall. *ldthe consumer stated the recall repair required 2 appointments. This consumer felt this was dangerous if the vehicle required the water pump to be replaced.
The engine, a 5.7-liter v8, shuts down intermittently, usually when coming to a stop on city streets. This has happened approximately 25 to 30 times since the vehicle had just a few hundred miles, to today at approximately 35,000 miles. The dealer has not been able to diagnose or correct the problem. Often i am not aware the engine has shut down, as powered items such as the radio continue to operate normally. I become aware of the issue only when i try to accelerate and there is no response and i then notice a flashing light next to the "d" on the gear selector knob. Although this issue has largely been just an annoyance, since it usually occurs at stop signs and traffic lights, there was one instance when it occurred at high speed on a freeway as i was preparing to exit. The engine shut down as i was driving in the far-right lane, causing a sudden loss of speed in front of a big rig, which had no warning because it was not a deliberate action and my brake lights hadn't been activated. I was close enough to the off-ramp to coast off the freeway, but the big rig came dangerously close to rear-ending my vehicle. It is this incident, more than anything else, that prompted me to file this complaint, since it was not only extremely dangerous, but the problem that led to it will likely persist because there does not appear to be any identified repair or corrective action i can take.
Due to the ecodiesel settlement program, i allowed fca to update the ecm to meet their requirements for the settlement. After the update, my truck is dangerously slow from a standing start. I never know if the truck will accelerate as i merge into traffic. Sometime it is barely adequate but most of the time there is a 2 to 4 second delay before the turbo kicks in (around 2,000 rpm) and then there is a strong turbo leap because my foot is buried in the floor trying to get the truck to move. I have almost been t-boned or rear-ended several times crossing streets and merging into traffic. This is dangerous and fca told me there isn't anything that can be done because the truck didn't show any error codes.
2014 ram eco diesel, fails to properly accelerate, sometime acting as if it is stuck in high gear.total lack of throttle response.problem is random and began after p0401, p1296 & 1297 cel codes were set.creates substantial risk when crossing intersections.
When running my heat, i have warm air coming out of passenger side vents and not driver side vents
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. While driving 35 mph, the vehicle decelerated and an abnormal odor was detected. The vehicle stalled, but was able to be restarted. The contact pulled over to the side of the road, opened the hood, and saw flames coming from the back of the engine. The contact extinguished the fire. There were no injuries. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.
I started getting a ticking in my motor around 60k miles. I took it to tyler's chrysler jeep and ram in niles michigan for two recalls, the ticking sound on the drivers side, and a possible rear main seal leaking. The service writer told me they put dye in the oil and i had to bring it back and recommended i replace the spark plugs for the ticking but did put in my file why he was recommending it. I took my truck to my normal mechanic for the ticking sound again and ne says i have broken exhaust studs. Now i am 2 months outside of my warranty and the dealership won't cover it under warranty because the service writer couldn't do his job. In do research on this issue, apparently broken exhaust manifold studs are so common on these trucks that replacing them is considered standard maintanance???
I received a recall notice from fca stating that a faulty egr cooler can cause fires and is a safety concern.the recall also states that parts are available.i have contacted several ram dealers and they all tell me that parts are on back order and that each dealer only gets one set of parts per week.i was also told that it may be as long as 6-8 months before my truck can be addressed.mine is not an isolated incident.as a member of a ram forum of 17k members, this is an frequent complaint.since ram knows that this is a safety issue that could cause a fire, they should be either repairing the vehicles or providing loaner transportation until such time as the repair can be made.
On february 23, 2019, i bought a 2014 ram 1500 laramie edition truck with a 3.0 vm motori twin turbo ecodiesel engine. The truck had 78,000 miles on it. I was very pleased with the truck. The factory warranty (5 years/100,000 miles) ran out on april 12, 2019, due to the truck being 5 years old. I followed the manufactures recommendations and used valvoline euro 15w40 diesel motor oil when i changed the oil, which was as soon as the oil sensor indicated that the oil was ready for changing. On may 2, 2019, i was driving on an interstate with the cruise control set at 70 mph. The truck made a brief roaring sound and the engine died. I coasted over to the left shoulder and stopped. A large amount of oil was underneath the truck. The truck now had 83,000 miles on it. The dealership told me that the engine would have to be replaced and the cost would be $13,219.40 plus any additional cost beyond the long block engine. I began researching and found numerous articles that explained that the 3.0 vm motori twin turbo ecodiesel engine has a design flaw that caused the engine to destroy itself. Basically the cam gear is not secured to the cam shaft. The timing chain's torque is the only thing that holds the gear to the shaft. Once the gear slips and the timing chain jumps, the valves collide with the pistons, starting a chain reaction that destroys the engine. My truck ran perfectly until the engine failure. There was no warning. The articles recount numerous engine failures of this engine with some engines that had less than 20,000 miles on them. The failures happened with engines that were idling and engines running at highway speeds. One article claims to have an internal chrysler document that states that of the 198,000 of these vehicles sold in the u.s. And canada the engine failure rate has been as high as 19 per week.
I had the emissions recall/repair for the ecodiesel engines per the class action lawsuit between the epa and fca.fca claims that it would not effect power or gas mileage. My truck now has a significant lag from a stop as well as from 10 mph to about 20mph when one hits the gas and tries to accelerate. This decrease in power makes this vehicle dangerous especially when trying to pull on to a street that has oncoming traffic.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. The contact stated that at start-up, an abnormal ticking noise was heard from the engine without warning. The contact then took the vehicle to chrysler dodge jeep ram of seattle (13733 aurora ave n n, seattle, wa 98133) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the exhaust manifold was fractured. The contact was informed that the vehicle was not covered under warranty or a recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and offered no assistance. The contact was referred to nhtsa to file a complaint. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 45,000.
Exaust (carbon monoxide) leak: on my vehicle and many others i have heard, either the exaust manifold or the manifold bolts crack or break causing a leak and loud clicking noise. The dealer repaired the passenger side manifold under my warranty but now the drivers side has cracked or broken and the warranty has expired. The noise stops after warmup but here is till a question of how much carbon monoxide leakage is acceptable until he noise stops.
Diesel exhaust fluid (def wasn't mix with the fuel to make the truck run properly.truck won't stay start.when truck start only go 30mph.has been in shop 10 times since i purchased it in may 2015.it is in the shop with no eta on the part so i am in a renter since 6sept2016.the dealership only cover 5 days of renter. So i am responsible for the remain of renter until truck repaired and still making my truck payment of $613.00.one time i was on the highway and it just stop wouldn't start at all had to be tow to the shop.the rest of the stop and go was on streets.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. The contact stated while the vehicle was stationed to make a turn and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle hesitated and surged forward. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. In addition, the vin was associated to nhtsa campaign number: 19v757000 (engine and engine cooling). The vehicle was taken to local dealer pueblo dodge chrysler jeep ram located at2147 us 50 west, pueblo, co 81008, (719) 545-6666, and where they were made aware of the failure. The manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair the part was not available for the repair. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired as of yet. The manufacturer had not been informed of failure. The failure mileage was 60,000. Parts distribution disconnect.
While driving at interstate speeds for approximately 130 miles (2.5 hours), vehicle sputtered and lost power, it stabilized at~40 mph.a check engine light and red lighting bolt displayed.we exited the interstate and made course to a dealership utilizing smaller hwys.en-route to the repair shop, at about 40 mph, vehicle started emitting smoke to include inside the cabin.stopped the vehicle and evacuated all 4 people inside.flames and heavy smoke soon became visible as we watched from afar.large flames grew and quickly engulfed the whole vehicle.fire department arrived and put out the fire.
The contact owns a 2014 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that there was hesitation when changing gears from park to reverse or drive. The contact had to change multiple gears to get the transmission to switch over from park to drive or reverse. The reverse sensor and the drive sensor light illuminated sporadically. The contact was able to use the gear shifter knob to ensure that the vehicle was in the correct gear. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be repaired but the part needed to make the repair was on back order. The vehicle was to be inspected and repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 2100.updated 06/10/14*lj updated 06/11/2014
4 manifold exhaust bolts broke off. When starting vehicle you could smell exhaust fumes inside of the cab. This has to be a safety problem and deserves a recall. If you google ram 1500 with the 5.7l hemi engine and you will see this happens all the time.
I had a water pump failure, called the dealership and they told me it was under warranty. A flatbed truck came to pick it up. After three weeks in the dealer they calledme it was ready for pick up. I went there, inspected the work all was done correctly. When i went to pick up my keys, they told me that dodge does not include the "liquids" and that i had to pay for the coolant used, $29.98 they charged me. I went to talk to the manager and asked him and he said that dodge does not cover for any liquids, if you make an engine repair under warranty, customer pays for the oil and filter, if a repair is done on the axle, customer had to pay for the axle fluid, it is incredible!! gm includes everything. My truck is a 2014, but only has 30k miles on it, first this is not suppose to happen at this low millage, and second if the dealer is going to do the job, after having the truck sitting in their yard for three weeks, the least you could do is include the coolant. Don't you think. How does the government allows this? there should be a law protecting the customer from this kind of rip offs. Almost thirty dollar for coolant it is outrageous.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. While driving at an unknown speed, smoke and flames appeared from the engine compartment. A police report was not filed and no injuries were sustained. The flames were extinguished and the vehicle was towed to capitol chrysler dodge jeep ram (3201 missouri blvd, jefferson city, mo 65109, (573) 893-5000) where it was diagnosed that the exhaust gas recirculation system failed, and the wiring harness and intake and exhaust manifolds needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was contacted and did not assist. The failure mileage was 74,000.
Engine keeps overheating intermittently and dealerships is not able to find the issue looses coolant and smells like coolant while its running and after just getting shut off after driving. I have had truck to dealership 14 times now and nothing is getting done.
Was driving truck in an empty lot after a snow storm with lots of ice. Had traction control off and truck fishtailed around a corner and engine stalled. Lights in interior were on and dash advised to shift into park to start. No knocking or strange noises prior, no check engine light after or before. Rpms were below 3000 when engine stalled. After stall put truck into park and started up right away. Tank was 3/4 full. Only problem i have had with the truck but it is very serious problem that should be addressed.
Was told the exhaust manifold bolt/studs warped and snapped and the exhaust manifold is warped, this happened on the driver side first but was covered under warranty but now happening on driver side out of warranty. Was told my dealership they see this often and was told fca has fixed the problem in newer years by using stronger material in the bolts. This informs me that fca knows of the problem but the dealers won't cover it as a design defect. Clearly there is a design defect with the exhaust manifold bolts as they should not be doing this and manufactures are suppose to account for these parts to see extreme temp changes. This has happened now twice to me but because i am no longer under warranty they won't fix the problem. The fist time was before 60,000 miles and now the other side is happening at 76,000 miles.to summarize the problem is warped exhaust manifold bolts and the manifold itself.
Engine manifold bolt sheared off, started "ticking" noise when starts.....my research has shown many complaints about the defective boltsand h\where replaced with improved bolts on other models,,..i called my dealership and they stated that the item is not covered because warranty expired (5 years) even though i have less then 80k miles...
At 70 mph on highway going straight, the engine quite running and left the vehicle disabled.it had to be towed and sits waiting repair.i thought recall w58 from fca (nhtsa # 20v475000) was for this issue but was told it us to prevent and not repair if it already happened.help!
This 2014 ram ecodiesel received the approved emission modification from fca at an authorized dealership on june 5th 2019.after receiving the engine software update the truck experiences significant delay in acceleration causing entering to traffic to be dangerous and unsafe.example: on two occasions, i have attempted to enter traffic and have almost been broadsided as the vehicle will not accelerate despite pressing the gas pedal all the way down.on another occasion, i was attempting to drive up a steep road and the engine would appear to stall out causing the vehicle to remain stationary while attempting to go up hill.this vehicle never displayed any of this behavior prior to receiving the new engine software from fca.this vehicle is not dangerous, unsafe, and unpredictable to drive.
The contact owns a 2014 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to sunset dodge chrysler jeep ram fiat (7745 s tamiami trail, sarasota, fl 34231, (941) 922-2400) to be diagnosed. The mechanic informed the contact of a misfire on cylinder number 5. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The contact was informed that the vehicle was not covered under recall or warranty. A case was filed. The approximate failure mileage was 128,000. The vin was not included.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle's fuel sensor failed and the fuel gauge went to zero. Also, the instrument panel went blank and "fuel sensor failure" was displayed. The check engine indicator also illuminated. The vehicle was driven to lawless chrysler dodge (196 lexington st, woburn, ma 01801, (888) 384-4956) where it was diagnosed that a new fuel sensor was needed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall. The failure mileage was 75,000.
In 3 years the check engine light and service electronic throttle indicator have came on at least 14 times. When this happens the truck goes into limp mode and will not accelerate. Each time the dealerships who represent ram products have performed different work and said it was fixed. They have flashed the software, changed turbo pressure switch, performed manual regen on exhaust system, changed air filter, changed the turbo twice, changed the fuel filters, tightened hoses and nothing stops the problem from returning. I am reporting this because it is a very dangerous and is happening on thousands of ram 1500 ecodiesel pickups. Until now it was just an inconvienance but the last time it happened i was turning onto a highway when it went into limp mode and almost got ran over by a logging truck. Had the log truck been loaded with logs i probably would be dead because there is no way he could have avoided a collision if he were loaded. I took the truck straight to a ram dealership and they have had it for over a month trying to figure out the problem. It should be illegal for chrysler to sell $50,000.00 trucks that can't be fixed and are going to get people killed.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. While driving various speeds, the engine misfired and caused the vehicle to idle roughly, shudder, and exhibit poor acceleration. The vehicle was taken to lithia dodge jeep (5001 grizzly ct, missoula, mt) where it was diagnosed that the engine cylinder head and valve train were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and provided case number: fca-68094470, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 90,000.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign numbers: 19v347000 (latches/locks/linkages) and 19v757000 (engine and engine cooling). The contact called bonneville and son chrysler dodge jeep ram at 877-812-7782 (located at 625 hooksett rd, manchester, nh 03104) and was informed that the parts were not available. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and was not able to confirm when the parts were to become available. The contact stated that the coolant level of the vehicle was low.the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available for 19v757000 (engine and engine cooling). Parts distribution disconnect for 19v347000 (latches/locks/linkages).
Received recall notice vb1 to replace egr cooler that may cause engine fire.the recall says that parts are available.i contacted 2 dealer and had chat with fca directly.all of them told me that parts are not available.neither dealer would give me an appointment date and said that there were many ahead of me.fca said that parts are allocated at 1 set of parts per dealer per week. The bottom line is that these trucks are at risk for fire that could result in injury, but fca is not responsive by the fact that the parts are not available.
I had to have my exhaust flex pipe replaced pipe connects engine to exhaust system. I have done research on this problem on vehicles using 3.0liter ecodiesel.the pipe degrades and starts leaking exhaust into the cab. On line forums discuss this problem with all the vehicles that use this motor. 2014 all the way up to 2020 vehicles. The cost for me was $7,000.00 to have it replaced. The cost itself is difficult for anyone to come up with and i would assume you will look into this further.this is happening at very low mileage, my truck has only 43,000 miles. Some with much less mileage. Please look at this problem as a safety and health issue. The effect of carbonmonoxide poisoning and traffic accidents are high and what it does to the brain. The smell of exhaust gets into the vehicles weather moving or stationary. Thank you!
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 40 mph, the vehicle loss motive power, veered to the right, and stalled. The contact had vehicle towed to the residence. The contact called the local dealer puente hills chrysler dodge jeep ram (17280 gale ave, city of industry, ca 91748) and was made aware that the vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 20v475000 (engine and engine cooling) however, the parts to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 140,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
My ram 1500 will h the 5.7 hemingway v8 ha an exaust leak at the exaust manifold apparently due to a broken manifold mounting bolt. It makes a ticking noise when the engine is cold and then subsides when warmed up. I was concerned that carbon monoxide may be taken in by the cabin ventilation system and expose the occupants to this gas. Research on the internet reveals many peopl have had this problem and have been told by ram dealers that a safety recall would be force hcomming.
After emissions recallvo8 was performed in may, the throttle response is gone.there have been many close calls where the truck won't go when the gas is pressed.it was perfectly normal before recall was done.
2014 ecodiesel received an update / reprogramming of engine control unit (ecu) and now has serious drivability issues, especially when cold. Throttle response is delayed and, if trying to pull into traffic, is dangerous due to the delay in throttle response. In addition to drivability issues, the fuel mileage has decreased significantly, probably 20%.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. While driving at various speeds, the vehicle suddenly shut off. After restarting the engine, the vehicle operated normally. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to diagnose the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vin was unknown. The failure mileage was 4,000.
Had aem flash caused 10-15% mpg loss as well as throttle lag,loss of accelerationfca said there would be no changein performance or mpg
After completing the emissions recall on my eco diesel truck i have lost all starting power. It feels like i have lost turbo and take roughly 2-3 sec to accelerate from a stop. I have tried flooring it and still no take off; it slowly accelerates into traffic before it finally goes. So far i have been lucky enough to not be hit by oncoming traffic.
Engine blew up while i was driving on highway at 65 mi/h. Lost of power. Ecodiesel motor
Noticed a small loss of radiator fluid, no visible leak, but did receive letter relating to a diesel egr cooler defect. Now am concerned about steam leaking into my engineoil and thus contaminating the engine oil with damaging effects on the engine internal parts. Egr valve should also be evaluated as it directly effects egr cooler.
Fca was recently involved in an emissions scandal. The required update (aem) that has been implemented to satisfy the epa has left the truck dangerous to drive. Throttle response is terrible, leaving a 5 to 6 second delay before any power is gained. The transmission wont downshift going through roundabouts, creating a hazard as the truck will not accelerate. Freeway driving has the truck hanging in 7th gear, barely shifting into 8th. Mileage has dropped 3mpg, consistently. In the haste to satisfy the epa, fca has put thousands of dangerous, under performing vehicles on the highway. Many people are seeing failures in the emissions components on the vehicles since the update, including me. I am scheduling my intake manifold and egr cooler replacement as i type this... Something needs to be done to get these vehicles back to a safe, reliable automobile...
5.7l hemi lift/can failure!!!!! i am a ram owner and have had some trouble with my 2014 ram 1500 at around 135,000 miles my engine started to tap in a rithum and was getting louder by the day. Did a little research and found that a lot of folks are having a problem with lifter collapsing and destroying the cam. Took my truck to the dealer and was told exactly what i had read about a lot of folks saying they had the same issue with there hemi. Not only in the ram models but jeep grand cherokee models and challengers as well equipped with the hemi engine as well.this repair cost roughly 3500.00 or more to have repaired. And chrysler should help cover the cost on repairs. I am very upset with chrysler products and at this time may never own another chrysler product.
Exhaust manifold bolts break off in the block and cause exhaust leaks.happened at 50k miles.was told by the repair shop it happens often.
Engine making ticking noise at around 22000 miles on the passenger side. Asked the dealership what the noise could be in day reply back saying that it's just the hemi engine noise and it's normal. I've came back a few times and mention the noise again to the dealership and that it was getting louder and longer lasting at cold starts they informed me it was still normal hemi noises. I've researched and looked into it and found it to be an exhaust issue on the manifold due to the studs breaking and spoke to the dealership again and they informed me that it was a common defect and they informed me it would be over $1,000 repair and was not covered do to my truck coming from canada and all my warranty was voided i've complained several several times to see what could be done under the federal mandated warranty and they said nothing and the truck currently has 47,000 miles and the noise is getting worse by the day. This issue has been going on since 2010 2011 with the hemi engines and manufacturer won't do anything about repairing or correcting the issues! a recall should be issued on these defective parts! i have called the warranty department, chrysler themselves recall department and no one will do anything to helpand pretty much tell me i'm out of luck!
My 2014 dodge ram hemi truck is like the motor is just stalling out it looses all power and slows down. You do not have to restart the motor it will just automatically start running. The truck has done this on me several times at low speed but fri i was getting on the expressway and was moving pretty fast when it was just like the truck had stalled out it was a good thing that i still had the entrance lane to swing back in as a big truck went by. When i let off the gas peddle it was just like it had started back. It did this on me 4 more times while on my way to and from where i was going. I called the place where i bought the truck and tried to get them to let me stop by and check the truck because i was only about 5 miles away and the service man told me they were to busy that he had no one to check it out that he would have to set me up an appointment which he did for this coming friday a week from the day this happened. When it stalled when i was getting on the expressway this really scared me when i had to swing back into the entrance lane as the tractor trailer went by. To me this was something that should have been checked immediately. I have a recall notification on the radio frequency which i told the service manager about([xxx])an he said he didn't think this would cause my problem.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My truck has started running rough without any power and noticing a tickingkocking noise within the past week so i started looking into it as i've always changed my oil between 5-10k full synthetic 5w20 and always ran good fuel at least 89-93 bc i have 142k on it. I've noticed the ticking noise around 75 and thought maybe slight exhaust leak from the welds but as i start reading on internet it's been a problem with chrysler on all these hemi engines for quite a few years now and i think it's bs that i'm having to pay to fix something that obviously been a problem for vehicles with well under the mileage i have as well. The wife has a chevy with over 200k that rubs like a top and she never changed the oil before we got together, in fact it was sludge when i did the first oil change and it doesn't tick nock or hesitate one bit. I hope someone will step up and help ppl out with their mistakes and make it right bc i'm out of a vehicle i still owe on and can't even get to work bc guess what i drive for work. Bummer i know but not if y'all would fix problems when the arise!!!!
Cannot put it to work it will not haul a trailer, can't drive because it will turn off in bumpy roads, been marking ' shift to desire gear to drive' we have been fighting with people from the agency ( don davis ) and they say they cannot find problems. Changed shift cragter twice, no luck! i took it with the enginge like turned on and can't seem to find a 'code' the truck starts shaking up before it turns off completely. It's a matter of safety for myself and my family.
On february 23my ram 1500 eco diesel had a catastrophic bottom end engine failure while driving on the parkway at highway speed,breaking the crankshaft and sending a connecting rod through the engine block spilling engine oil onto the road and onto the tires.when i checked the ram1500.com diesel forum there are many more people that had a similar failure on trucks with less mileage than mine. I'm hoping to find out how many 1500 eco diesels were sold and how many have had a engine failure. Thank youfor your time.
Vehicle loses power randomly and completely shuts down. This has happened in traffic, in the driveway, and while traveling down a highway at 70mph.in thirteen months the vehicle has been driven and towed for repair to various dealerships seven times.the first four times it was taken to a dealership, it was released to me without repair due to the dealership being "unable to reproduce the issue".this vehicle is dangerous and should be removed from commerce.
My 2014 ram 1500 pentastar 3.6 oil leakhas a oil leak from the oil cooler this is also a safety hazard
Major oil leak started at just under 100k miles on the truck. Took it to the dealership after searching online for known issues, witch i found one on chrysler 3.6 motors year model 2014 witch was oilcooler/housing cracking. This is the engine my truck has as well. After the dealership checked the truck over this was the exact issue with the truck. The oil leak is located on top of the engine between the intake manifold and engine block and runs down back of engine to bottom of truck. With the amount of issues ihave been able to find in a matter of minutes of searching and after being told that that part had been redesigned by the dealership i think this issue should be looked into.
2 mounting bolts have broken off in my manifold. They are broke off inside the manifold.
Check engine light while driving and loss of power. After bringing vehicle to mechanic found out misfire cylinder #3. Failed camshaft and lifters at 143,000 miles. Told is was a very common issue at no specific mileage. Approximately $4,000 to repair
The idle dropped to 550 rpm s (revolutions per minute) which should be 900 rpm and the engine stalled out.this was caused by the crank case pcv (pressure control valve).it's an engineering design flaw in the pcv- it's working in the wrong direction.this also can cause other problems in the vacum system like brake failure and improper fuel consumption, and engine over-heating.
On display it came up service electronic throttle control, truck went into limp mode to 38 mph running 3000 rpm's.
Exhaust manifold leak due to both rear studs breaking on each side of the engine. This is my 3rd dodge ram with the 5.7 liter engine that has had this problem. The other vehicle years were a 2003 ram 2500 and a 2013 ram 1500. With as many complaints about this problem, i am surprised there hasn't been a fix and a recall. So far, i am 3 trucks each with the same issue. I would think that two exhaust manifolds leaking in the engine compartment would pose as a safety issue by breathing the fumes sucked into the cab. The dealer repaired this issue thanks to an extended warranty.
The contact owns a 2014 dodge ram 1500. When the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle failed to accelerate and the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the throttle position sensor needed to be updated and the emc required multiple updates. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 5,600.updated 09/15/15*ljupdated 10/31/2017
At a stop light on a 2 lane highway, the light turned green, pressed the gas pedal and about 900 feet later i lost compulsion. I quickly got off the highway just in time before the truck stopped rolling, it just died.
I started hearing a knocking sound from the engine. I took it in to the shop and found that there were several other recall issues with the vehicle. Considering i used my vehicle for typical driving, and keep it maintained with regularly scheduled synthetic oil changes, tires rotations and fluid refills that it shouldn't have had any of the current issues wrong with it. The rep tried to proclaim that the knocking sound came from normal wear and tear on the engine. I strongly disagreed with him, the $5500 estimated repair cost and decided to voice my concerns with coming on here to report it. The most alarming thing is that they tried to pressure me into starting the repair of the vehicle while stating that they needed to get into the engine first before they could determine if that was all wrong with the vehicle. I'll never buy a dodge again after this experience.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 60 mph, the vehicle stalled upon depressing the accelerator pedal. The check engine and ecm warning lights were illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact had the vehicle towed to larry h. Miller chrysler jeep dodge ram surprise (13165 n autoshow ave, surprise, az 85388) where the vehicle was diagnosed with a defective crank sensor and tone ring. The contact was informed of the diagnostic test result and performed a google search and discovered that the vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 20v475000 (engine and engine cooling) however, the part to repair the vehicle was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and contacted the dealer to verify if the temporary fix was available. The contact was then notified by the manufacturer that the temporary fix would not be available until december 2020. The vehicle remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 95,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
Driving on hwy 17 down a ramp, throttle sensor light came on and truck stalled out. Restarted truck to pull off hwy/ramp to safer location, noticed thick bl smoke billowing out from under hood. Pulled into parking lot, lifted hood to see flames coming off engine. Bystander called 911 while i got a bucket of water. Threw bucket of water onto engine while police and fire dept finished extinguishing. Fire dept stated they have seen a few eco fires. Towed to hendrick's, contacted ram. Ram stated no need to contact ins co (they will handle it). Thought this was strange, contacted ins co anyways. Inspected by 2 fire specialists, ins co and ram. Ins co stated manufact defect, ram stated leaky injector (which were replaced by ram 18k mi prior at dealership). I sustained smoke inhalation and 1st degree burns to face,neck,lt arm and had/have headaches. Truck was still under 100k warranty with only 40k. Ram denied opened claim and warranty. Ins co totaled truck out, they still have an open claim against ram. Additionally ram denying my emissions settlement of 3k only offering 900 (stating emissions work couldn't be done due to fire classifying me as a previous owner although i was current owner even at that time). I still haven't settled emissions. Recently ram has recalled all 108k eco-diesels 2014-19 for fire hazard. My truck fits the description for what happens and always needed a little coolant with maint, insp, oil changes. I paid off my truck before, and now have a payment with what i consider a lesser truck. When i call fca and give my info they often hang up, act like they cant hear me, or state they are transferring me to manager (hanging up on me). Also stating someone will get back to me, but never any returned call (supposed to get a call tomorrow, will see).
Starting at about 30k the check engine light came on and the error code read po456 (small evap leak), dodge dealer (peterson ) stated that the computer was so sensitive that they (the dealer) could not detect such a small leak.. So i was told they changed out some common items that had known issues and it should be fix.. At about 37k same exact issue same exact error code same exact response from the dealer.. But this time i was told they just replaced the whole evap system and to make sure i don't overfill the fuel tank.... Now at 54k same exact issue same error po456 ..but now a much more noticeable heavy 'fuel' smell in the cab ' and i've been very careful not to 'overfill' the fuel tank'.best part dealer is saying sorry out of warranty..huh, that's convenient.
Radiator cracked, 6 spark plugs and 2 ignition coils replaced.1 week later, starter failed.1 day later engine over heating, replaced radiator cooling fan;next day, starter failed again, and engine declared completely ruined or bad.entire engine being replaced with rebuilt after 131,300 miles and 10 months of ownership.fully maintained, but failure unexpected and without warnings.
Not even 80,000 on my truck and my truckhas camshaft problems it's in the shop now
We have changed the bolts in our engine multiple times.we did it while it was under warranty many times and even ask the dealer about a recall.other trucks this make and model has had the same issue.now due to the bolts breaking again we are having to do more work.this has been an issue since we have had the vehicle.we love our truck but think this is a defect in the motor build up.we even had three different mechanics tell us the same thing.i can provide paperwork if needed!this just happens ever few months.i can go outside with it stationary and as soon as i start the truck i can tell if another bolt has broken.
Theirs a lot of recalls they don't fix them and i'm scare of driving the truck.
The contact owns a 2014 dodge ram 1500. While attempting to park the vehicle, the engine seized and the electronic throttle control illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign numbers: 15v459000 (air bags) and 15v517000 (electrical system, engine and engine cooling). The parts to do the repair were not available. The manufacturer was not aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 123,000. Parts distribution disconnect.
Heard engine ticking sound when vehicle had 65k around. It became more and more serious as the vehicle kept aging. On a day in may 2021, i finally figured the cause of ticking sound was the exhaust manifold leak. I brought the vehicle to dealership two days ago and they told me two exhaust manifold bolts on driver side were broken, and one exhaust manifold stud on passenger side was broken. Got bolts and studs replaced with providing mopar parts myself. Labor cost itself is $1,190.00 before tax and misc. Charges.
Tipm...truck was mobile at night in rain when it died and coasted to the shoulder of the road...dense obnoxious smoke poured from under the hood and into cab where my grandchild were adversely affected by it causing serious breathing problems and coughing. Vehicle was towed to dealership where a demand of 1500 bucks up front to even look at this truck.. Eventually i had wrecker bring it from dealership home where is sits on ramps in the back yard. Nothing has been done by chrysler to address these problems. According to codes from obd-ii suggest the potential of airbags exploding without warning at any time...
While driving northbound on us411 which is a fairly straight two lane paved road in gordon county ga, i pulled out to pass a slower vehicle. When the engine rpms hit 4500 the truck started to shake and loose power. No codes were thrown at the time. I was forced to slow to below the speed limit and for safety reasons couldn't complete the pass. I pulled over into the shoulder and the truck was experiencing a very rough idle. I turned of the ignition and on restart the engine felt and sounded normal. I continued home. The next day i started the truck and it threw a code. I took it to the ram dealer, after diagnosis they said it had a bad cam and the engine needed replacement.
After the mandatory emissions update on my ecodiesel i am going to get seriously hurt trying to get out in to traffic at a stop light or sign.there is serious lag in the throttle response and sometimes no response at all.how can something that was supposed to make us safer leave us so very vulnerable.please, please, please for a fix to this issue.also the update was not supposed to cause a change in fuel economy or the way our vehicles run.it is horrible.it's bad enough that the fuel economy is so drastically reduced, but seriously this is a huge safety hazard.every time that i am at a stop and then push on my throttle i have no idea if the pickup is going to respond or not.numerous times i have been stalled out with traffic coming at me both ways.it is an extremely frightening experience.worse, i am considering an after market "tune" as are 1000's of others.this is not the answer to this widespread problem.please make dodge fix this terrible safety issue.how many preventable crashes will there have to be?
.my pick-up averaged 24 per gallon between local and expressway driving. Expressway driving only (for example, to niagara falls in 2015) averaged 27 miles per gallon. Following replacement of spark plugs and oil change and 2 factory recalls my pick-up lost power and could barely do 20 miles per gallon. The engine became very loud. The longer i drove it, the less mileage i got -- the engine also began howling/whistling as i tried to increase speed. In order to maintain speed, i had to constantly press my foot to excelerate, even going down inclines.i had to continuously bring my pick-up back to the dealership in st. Charles, illinois because various systemsbegan to fail-- safety breaks, fuel related black box, dashboard panel signals , etc.i expressed concern about the stress on my transmission and engine. Eventually, by process of elimimation, service department revisited the 2 recalls -- one of which was the cruise control recall.when i brought it in again, they found 6 leaks located on the top of the engine.anything above 50-55 mph is difficult. I feel that the transmission does not change gears in a timely fashion, and sometimes not at all.the rpm is very high and the engine remains in exceration mode either too long or, at higher speeds, never kicks in
While driving on highway check engine light came on. Smelled burning, another car pulled along side and yelled "you are on fire" after stopping the truck i was able to extinguish the flames under the engine by applying dry powder fire extingisher into the open hood. Later investigation by a chrylser hired investigator indicated the starter cable short circuited to a sharp bracket attached to the frame causing the electrical harness to catch fire.in my opinion chrylser is dragging their feet in authorizing a warranty repair
The v08 emission recall has despite what the manufacturer claims decreased my mpg, increased turbo lag, made it unsafe to drive due to literally slower than acceptable throttle response, and daily diesel regeneration. All before this flash to the ecu there where no problems. But since it is a ticking time bomb just waiting for for me to get t-boned at an intersection for the delayed acceleration.
Traveling on highway feeder road at approximately 4:45 pm at approximately 30-35 mph. Prepared to come to a stop at an approaching intersection controlled by 3 way stop signs. As i began to slow down the truck stalled out. The light over the d on the gear selector was flashing and the dash panel indicated that i should shift into park and restart the vehicle. I coasted to a safe stop, applied the brake and shifted to stop and restarted the vehicle. I remained on the feeder and the truck repeated the incident at the very next intersection. I got the truck running again and pulled into a gas station and called the local dodge dealership and talked to the service department who said they had never heard of this happening. This same incident happened three weeks ago but we thought it was a fluke. Weather was average for this time of year. Rainy and 43 degrees. Had the heater running, the seat and steering wheel heater on. Turned them all off concerned that they might be part of the cause.
You will be driving up an incline, not a steep on . The engine starts missing like it needs a tune up. It'a noticeable miss. We have another problem with the dash screen. The screen in the middle that tells you your mileage. It will start going in and out. Mostly, it blacks out. We have mentioned this to dodge garage and they tweeked the screen but, it still does it, they also, tweeked the engine. Theyn still do the same thing. I,m worried that we'll be going down the road and the truck will suddenly stop in the middle of the road.
Oil leaks at the filter. Filter has been upgraded and now a year later is still leaking. Dealership is the only one that has changed the oil. It is due to go back in tomorrow, thursday july,30th.
Fca put out a notice of recall in august of 2020 (w58). It is now the14th of january and still no resolution. The ram dealer says we have to wait until fca determines a resolution to the problem. The nhtsa website says the same thing - not yet resolved. The recall says the defect can cause the vehicle to stall and crash, yet i am still waiting for a fix 5 months since the recall was sent out. I am putting my family in jeopardy every day while waiting. This should not be an acceptable to the nhtsa. Joseph thomas
While waiting at a stop light and then stepping on the accelerator the ram went into limp mode and did not go past 15 mph. The ram did not turn on any light to notify me of an issue. I had to forcefully take it out of limp mode therefore risking the transmission to get damaged. There was a big truck behind me making a left who thankfully noticed the ram stopped working and patiently waited for me to move out of the way.i turned it off and turned it back on and it started working again. Seems like a recall issue on rams as i have been reading this has happened to hundreds of people.
This vehicle will stall when coming to a complete stop from time to time. There is no pattern when it happens. Very dangerous!!!!!!this is one of two 2014 ram 1500 we have that does this.
After the v08 recall aem update, the truck has no power when accelerating from a stop
My truck makes chirping sounds like a bird when idling.
I have been waiting on this recall for almost a year on my egr cooler and no dealer can get one to replace it. I know that covid 19 has caused production problem but, a year is too long! this vehicle should be replaced at full value for what i have gone through with it. I have filled out all forms and submitted properly on the reimbursement of loss from chrysler. I still have received no check for that. I call the dealer often and get no response other than that the part has been backordered and not available. What recourse do i have in this matter?

I have a 2014 ram 1500 slt 4wd cc i bought it about 6 months ago. About a week ago my friend and i were about to take a drive and when i started it my friend whom is a mechanic said you either have an engine knock or an exhaust leek. Well i checked it out at the dealer and well the exhaust leak was due to a broken bolt in the manifold and then the dealer calls me and says you have a lifter taping they said the extended warranty would fix it but i have seen a couple of videos and forums and this really needs to be a recall on both im not the only one whom has had this problem i love my truck but if you spend the kind of money that we ram owners have this problem should be covered ive been treated wonderful by the dealer but this is something that needs to be recodnised by chrysler and fixed by chrysler ive only put 20000 miles on it it only has 82000 total this should not be a problem yet if at all i treat my truck like a part of thefamily it gets serviced regularly my truck should not be having these kind of issues please help do something about these problems someone needs to

I was driving and the truck started to idle high and then blew a big cloud of smoke like it was on fire i shut it off and it would not restart. I took it back to where i bought it to have the warranty fix it but they are stating there is an open recall for the intake manifold catching fire and will not fix it and there is no fix for a based on the recall info

On june the 5th 2019 my ecodiesel recall was performed at the dealer. It was part of a class action lawsuit. Three days later the truck started running bad. It has dead fuel pedal and loss of power. I brought it back for a second time to have the recall preformed again and the same thing happened again. It is a safety problem as of now. I'm afraid to put my family in the truck due to the fact that when i pull out into on coming traffic i dont know if i will have power or not. I'm scheduled for the 9th of september to attempt the recall a 3rd time.
Fca aem recall. Since getting the emissions recall done the truck no longer responds like it did. It is a life safety issue. The update has mad the truck very sluggish to the point it feels like it is going to stall when trying to start from a stop or merging into traffic on the highway. I have also lost 5-6 mpg since the update and will no long let my wife drive it to do lack of power to even get moving.
Most recent episode of truck shutting off while driving was while crossing railroad tracks in rural area pulled up to look both ways to cross then started over tracks truck shut off in middle of track needless to say a train was coming around corner, when train was 200 yrd away luck forced it into neutral. Needless to say have had it in the shop multiple time in 2015 and ram stated it wasn't throwing code for it to shut off. They let the death trap back on road. This truck has multiple electrical problems.
I found out about a recall by fca that my 2014 dodge ram ecodiesel has a problem with the exhaust dampener. This is after i started researching the smell of exhaust fumes in the can when using the vehicles heat. I took my vehicle into the dodge dealership to have the recall repaired. The dealership stated that fca is only sending the repair parts in batches and cannot be ordered directly from fca. This means i must wait until they are in-stock at the dealership to have the problem repaired. I contacted ram customer service. Ram customer service stated that the part shipping issue is known but the 'smell' is not considered a safety issue. I told them that the smell of exhaust is distinct and obvious. They still argued this is not a safety issue as their own tests demonstrate that the levels of exhaust do not pose a safety threat--they would not respond when i stated it is a health threat. At this time i still cannot get this exhaust fume problem fixed under fca's own recall since fca has made the repair parts availability limited since fca only ships the parts in batches not based on the need of the customers. The exhaust fumes have caused me two migraines and several normal headaches when using the heat on long drives (distances over 30 miles or driving times over one hour). The fca recall is 'r04'.
High pressure fuel pump failure (cp4) caused a quoted $9500 repair bill.
After the v08 update very bad lag from the pedal and gas mileage dropped very significantly.
While driving on a highway there was a loud thump from the engine. Engine lost power and shut down. Info screen displayed 'check trailer brake,' 'electronic throttle control,' and 'towing mode''.'was not towing anything at the time. Able to pull to side of the road safely. Engine will not start now. Vehicle towed to dealership. Awaiting information from dealer on repair.
Approaching a stop sign, i step on the brakes then vehicle went into a slow coast mode. ( a red sign turned on, indicating an "electrical brake"issue). Then indicates "switch gear to park", soon after proceeded as normal. The next day as i was stop on a drive thru, same indication occur, engine power went off then "electrical brake" , next thing was "switch gear to park" resuming to normal operation.very concern about this it is my only form of transportation to and from doctors visit, it has about 46,000 miles on it, very well taken care of. Would not want it to fail on me at a middle of an interception. In between these events, their is no light that appears. Is this a recall issue that can be address immediately please thank you.
I was driving in the mountains pulling a boat on a fishing trip. Coming off the last pass into gunnison colorado, i heard knocking heard a big bang. The truck shut down for loss of oil pressure. Couldn't start it, couldn't get it into natural. Got it to a diesel shop figured it spun a rod bearing. I did not know that when a viehical comes down from canada, it loses its drivetrain warranty!we are all north american! what exactly is both of these problems?
2014 dodge ram 1500. Consumer writes in regards to nhtsa safety recall 18v-332. *ld
Ecodiesel-post epa required repairs- turbo lag / delayed acceleration.up to a two second time delay before vehicle will proceed upon full throttle demand to merge into traffic or from a stop sign or needing to pass a vehicle at highway speeds.. The delay will cause an accident to occur.prior to the epa repairs, vehicle did not have any turbo lag/acceleration issues.one could accelerate with full, partial or minimal throttle and have confidence in the vehicle performing as needed.discussed this problem with local ram dealer, they stated there is no current fix being considered by fca.this is a real safety issue with vehicles being involved in accidents as the vehicle thinks about accelerating. Please advise if there are any known remedies for this software issue?thank you in advance for your consideration.fortunately no bent sheet metal yet.

The hemi engine has a known issue from 2009 5.7 hemi up until present but ram is not recalling the engine. The lifters are seizing causing the engine to fail. This could be dangerous. These are failing before 70k miles and mine is starting to fail as well. Its a 4000 dollar fix when they do. Dodge ram needs to recall this issue. I purchased my truck for $26000 and have only had it for less than 2 years.
I was driving my truck down the highway at about 70 mph when a engine light came on and the truck just stopped working. It completely stalled,it was difficult to steer, but luckily i was able to pull over safely.i looked up the warning light and it said it had to do with the crank shaft sensor.the truck would not turn over and i had to have it towed. My truck has now been sitting at a dodge dealership for 2 months and they are saying it will be another month until they might get the crankshaft sensor in needed to fix it. Here is the thing, dodge is well aware of the problem.a problem that is so wide spread they literally do not have anymore parts to fix it. They have a recall for it for vehicles manufactured in the us with a work around until they get parts made but because my truck was manufactured in canada they refuseto put my vin in with the recall so they can use the work around. I have been in contact with dodge and have gotten no where. I have another recall that has not been fixed and they say cannot be fixed until they get the crankshaft fixed. This other recall they have known about for over a year and they would tell me to take it on the highway and drive it. Now they are telling me what a fire hazard this recall is.

Vehicle is a 4x4 ram 1500 express with 5.7 hemi and 8-speed transmission.i purchased it new.the first incident occurred at around 200 miles on the odometer, on the third day after i purchased the vehicle.it stalled when approaching a stop sign near my home.it did not restart and run well immediately thereafter, but after 3 tries i was able to keep it running and after that it began to run smoothly for the remaining short distance to my home.i was worried that it may be a loose gas cap, so i removed the cap and re-installed it.then less than a week later, the vehicle stalled again on 2 separate occasions during the same outing.first time was in a parking lot, and the second time was in a busy intersection.in each case, i was able to re-fire after a few attempts.the vehicle did the same thing again twice yesterday.today the vehicle stalled again near my home.every stall has been when slowing to stop or to make a turn.i do not feel comfortable with my family riding in a vehicle that stalls unexpectedly.it is an accident waiting to happen.i have contacted the dealer and have an appointment for a diagnostic test on this friday.the check engine light is not illuminated, and the dealer has already indicated during a phone conversation that it will be difficult to do much if there are no obd codes to read.i have contacted other dealers to inquire if other customers may be having a similar situation.none have heard of this issue in this model year.
I have a 2014 ram 1500 with the 3.0l ecodiesel engine. After receiving the v08 emissions recall, i am experiencing excessive turbo lag/slow acceleration when the engine is cold. It is bad enough that i am forced to step on the throttle just to get the vehicle through intersections or when merging on highways. It was not like this prior to the v08 emissions recall campaign and the acceleration lag has almost caused a couple.accidents as the truck was unable to accelerate out of situations in which it used to have no problems prior to the v08 recall.
Oil leaking from 2014 3.6l v6 engine oil filter housing adapter
I was accelerating my truck on a city street at approximately 45 mph. The power control module, battery control module, crank position sensor, tone wheel and power steer control module all failed at the same time. The truck shut down and had to be towed into the dealer.
On the afore mentioned date, i was operating vehicle on a 2 lane highway. When i attempted to pass a slower vehicle the transmission froze/locked into a lower gear, not allowing me to complete the pass of the other vehicle and there by forcing me to brake heavily to avoid a head on collision. I then returned the truck to the dealer whom i had just purchased from. As of this writing' they have neither found or corrected this issue.

The vehicle was towed to a dealer and repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The vin was invalid. The failure mileage was 21,165.
We were driving our new truck (only 13 days old) and came up behind a car going 25mph in a 50mph zone.we slowly accelerated the truck to pass the vehicle.during this acceleration, we saw large amounts of white smoke coming from both tailpipes.then a brief single chime started from the instrument panel.because it was a new truck we didn't know what was happening and there was no safe place to pull over.we continued up the road and the chiming increased in frequency and white smoke began to come into the cab and from under the hood.we came to side road and immediately pulled over.we got out and the white smoke continued to bellow from under hood.after truck was turned off, the smoke slowly subsided.we towed the truck back to the dealer on a flatbed.
The lifters on the 2 cyl. That shut off to save fuel failed and ruined the cam shaft. This happened on my 2010 and now on my 2014. It started by skipping an lower rpms as you speed up or on an incline and then one day it set a check engine lite and skipped all the time.

My truck knocks when starting engine
Horrible odor in the cab, which caused my wife, my two teenage daughters, and myself to all have at least one form of the following, vomiting, nausea, headache, burning eyes and throat. Apparently this is a known issue to the manufacturer, as there is something called a star case. I can't drive the vehicle at this time, as i have no idea if this odor can cause a permanent health problem, not to mention it is bizarre that a brand new vehicle would have a problem like this.
It has an exhaust leak in the manifold due to faulty bolts. I have researched it and talked to mechanics, and it is a well document problem with dodge/ram vehicles. I have learned that it used to be covered under some warranties, but not all. It is obviously a vehicle defect that dodge/ram should be responsible for fixing.
Check engine light came on.that was 9/24/14.the check engine light has been through a myriad of "fixes".it is now 02/03/15 (5 1/2 months) - the check engine light is still on and the dealership has it in for "repair".the warranty requires that the vehicle not be driven when the check engine light is on, thus denying us of the regular use of the vehicle, which is critical in our cattle operation.the full nature of the complaint may be obtained by faxing or emailing a request to us.
The vehicle listed on multiple occasions has completely shut-off as my speed is reduced while making a turn or coming to a stop at speeds below 15. No check engine light or codes have been recovered to show if something is malfunctioning or is wrong with the vehicle.
I own a 2014 ram 1500 with a 3.0l eco diesel. There was a federal class action lawsuit that was handed down and the outcome was an approved engine modification (aem). The aem was a reflash of the ecm and tcm. After the recall was performed, the performance of my truck dangerously impacted. If i drive my truck before the engine reaches operating temperatures over 150degrees, there is significant acceleration delays. It usually takes me 5-10minutes of driving or more than 20minutes of idling (warming up) to get the engine up to operating temperatures. I can push on the accelerator petal and wait 3-5 seconds before the truck reacts, then i get pushed back into my seat and sometimes spin the drive tires. This is extremely dangerous, especially when i am turning into oncoming traffic, or trying to overtake another vehicle on the highway. Also, prior to the engine reaching operating temperatures, i now experience 'turbo flutter' this is where too much air is forced into the intake manifold and the air is pushed back through the turbo. The truck acts as if the breaks are pulsing. Similar to the above, it happens when i am accelerating, not with the accelerator pushed to the floor, just normal, conservative driving.a few other changes i have found after the aem, i have lost significant fuel economy, greater than 10%, and diesel exhaust fluid (def) consumption is significantly higher. These last 2 items do not directly effect the drivability of my truck but if i had know these things would have happened after the recall, i would not have had the recall performed. Thank you, [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Catastrophic exhaust gas record valve (egr) and egr cooler failures which resulted in plastic intake manifold failure.egr cooler severely plugged with soot/carbon well below mileage period of federal emissions warranty.no specified service requirements for this egr system.damage resulted in substantial loss of power, unable to maintain minimum speed on interstate 85 when intake manifold failure occurred.visible black smoke/soot was being emitted from exhaust under acceleration during this failure, clearly not in compliance with emissions standards.
After receiving v08/v11 aem update november 18th, 2020 i am experiencing an average of 5-6 mpg loss in fuel economy (16.4 mpg mixed - down from 21.5-22 mixed) as well as experience severe acceleration lag. In terms of highway mileage i am struggling to get 20 mpg.current ecm: 68306456aicurrent tcm: 68234053ahfollowing the v08 emissions recall, drivability has been seriously reduced and has created dangerous throttle lag and improper automatic transmission gear selection. I would summarize these issues as turbo lag and improper shift mapping.when accelerating from a complete stop there is a 2-3 second lag before the vehicle begins to move even if the throttle is fully depressed. If you are executing a right or left turn into traffic or crossing an intersection this will leave you exposed to a "t-bone" collision.this behavior is even more pronounced when the vehicle has not been run (cold engine). Climbing a moderate hill shortly after pulling out of my driveway forces the driver to manually downshift the automatic transmission to first gear to get any forward travel. Again, the vehicle will rapidly accelerate after the 2-3 second lag. Once returning to "drive" at 15-25 mph the transmission will up-shift several gears and then begin slowing, dropping engine rpm to 1,000, again forcing a manual down-shift to second or third gear to maintain speed. The engine produces almost no power until the engine reaches 2000 rpm.all of this behavior began after the noted recall. I have contacted a ram dealer regarding this performance and was told that this is a common complaint. They mentioned that the factory was aware of this but has no remedy available."

This truck was purchased brand new in sept 2014. Within the first 4000 miles of driving the brand new vehicle exhaust started to come out from under the hood and started entering the cabin, it now has 22000 miles. I told the dealership and they said to bring it in and found nothing. 10000 miles checkup i told them the same thing but its getting a lot worse so they said it was when they did an oil change and oil got onto the exhaust so they cleaned my undercarriage, but the problem would still occur. 15000 i brought it in again and they replaced my catalytic converter saying that was they issue but as soon as i got home from the dealership it started again. I have since been contacting the dealership constantly because now there is a recall pertaining to the issue i specifically have (high frequency decoupler) recall (r04). Since then they keep telling me the part is on backorder and i just have to wait for it. My truck smokes from under the hood and enters the cabin from the air vents, it gets to the point where you cant drive it without getting dizzy. North star dodge dealership in san antonio is who i have been contacting with this issue and charles specifically from the service department. There administration has done nothing to alleviate the issue for me or accommodate me in any way. From the time i have had this issue i have contacted the fca multiple times and they tell me the dealership has it on order but can do nothing about accommodating me either. The issue of carbon monoxide poisoning is a large concern for me because i drive me grandmother around who has serious heart conditions, this issue needs to be taken care of immediately and nobody is doing anything to accommodate my safety. Please help my health is at risk and everybody how rides in my vehicle.

The contact managed to coast the vehicle to the shoulder of the road turn the vehicle off and back on however, the vehicle failed to resume normal operation. The vehicle was towed to criswell chrysler jeep dodge ram fiat (84 bureau dr, gaithersburg, md 20878, (301) 637-4198) where it was determined that the lifter rocker failed on the passenger's side. Additionally, the camshaft needed to be repaired. The camshaft was resealed and the top starter and lifters were replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 108,982.
Exhaust manifold bolts breaking on 5.7l hemi engine. Unknown when it occurred but has happened twice at separate times/mileage. Research shows this is a well documented problem that needs addressed with a recall.
My truck had a check engine light appear that said "fuel injection lower than expected.when i would crank it up, you could hear the engine running harder than it should with an audible constant knock.i made a couple stops and it shut off on me just before the second stop.i tried cranking it up again, and it started, but took awhile to start.after that, i was traveling down the road at approximately 50 mph when i heard a loud "boom" from under the hood.my truck shut down on me in traffic.luckily, i was not hit by any other motorists and made it to an adjacent parking lot.then after several attempts to start it again, i finally had to call a tow truck because my truck was inoperable.
I was driving my ram 1500 ecodiesel to and from work and noticed a knocking sound. Scheduled a service appointment and the dealership diagnosed my truck with catastrophic engine failure. A new engine is required with a repair bill of $12,370. There are many people with the same issue, a law suit has been filed due to chrysler refusing to cover repair cost. I feel chrysler sold me a lemon, please conduct an investigation.
When slowing to a stop, twice the engine has stalled and twice it sounded like it was about to stall but instead came out of gear.when it came out of gear the shift knob still indicated "d" but the light was flashing and the instrument panel said to shift into park and then back into drive
While driving at a speed of approximately 25 to 30 mph, the engine stalled. This happened three times in the same day.it continues to happen at random up until the present usually when coasting or turning. The check engine light came on at 2,307 miles and codes p0171 and p0174 were found and both oxygen sensors were replaced.three days after repair truck continues to stall.has been in for service five times and no other repairs made because they say they can't duplicate the problem and the check engine light has not come on again.invoice shows that there is a stored code, p0884, but since it is not active they will not be authorized or paid to repair the truck.the description of this stored code is exactly what i have been complaining that the truck does, stalls when turning or coasting at a speed of 20-30 mph.i guess money is more important than customer safety.
Vehicle has been under multiple recall repairs recently and was working properly when it was last in our possession.we took the vehicle to a local dealer for another recall.when they were doing their road test, the vehicle stalled and would not restart.they are now telling us there is a need for a new motor ($13,000 - $14,000).when i was discussing the issue with the local dealership, they informed me that recall w58 had previously been applied to similar ram 1500s and would have addressed the exact issue that was happening with my vehicle.i am requesting review to have the same recall added to vehicles that are similar to mine.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. When starting the vehicle, it emitted a loud noise without warning. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that a bolt was fractured in the manifold. The contact was given a cost estimate for the repairs. The contact spoke with earnhardt chrysler dodge jeep ram (1521 e drivers way, gilbert, az 85297, (480) 926-4000) and was informed that the bolt needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to nhtsa. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 68,000.
I noticed that when i started my truck after it had been cold for a while that blue/white smoke would briefly come out of the tailpipe. I noticed it several times and took it to the dealership who said they couldn't find anything. It still did it intermittently. I then noticed that my oil level was low, and the oil pressure sensor went out. I had the oil pressure sensor replaced under warranty and added oil. Based on the excessive oil consumption, smoke, and oil pressure sensor going bad, i think there's something wrong with the engine. All my problems have been oil related!

Oil leak originating from reported failed filter housing adapter (per dealer investigation) on pentastar 3.6l v6 engine. Slow leak began to occur immediately after previous dealer-performed oil change in late 2018. 2/4/19 regular-interval dealer-performed oil change found oil all over both sides of engine. Technician advised of replacing oil filter housing/oil cooler adapter and associated gaskets for quote of $995. Leak observed on personal garage floor, as well as along driveway (while in motion), since prior oil change.multiple internet searches find faults of this equipment across a wide variance of 2014 3.6l pentastar v6 engines installed in various fiat-chrysler america models.
Catastrophic engine failure. At highway speed the engine failed without warning. It threw a rod through the engine block resulting instant loss of power. Hot oil being blown out of the hole and all over the engine and onto the turbo and exhaust, resulted in a under-hood fire.

2014 ram 1500 in motion when accelerating and maintaining speed rims surge and truck feels like it stumbles over itself and vibrates before settling in set gear its a constant issue now started a couple months ago noticeably i have had this truck for over 3 years
I had my end or engine oil changed at a ram dealership in northfield minnesota at northfield automotive group and 132 miles after the oil was changed by the dealership my engine blew it through a rod through the block
Fca is not very helpful and the dealer that i bought this truck from denied service after seeing there was an engine light on. I have it in another dealership to find out what is going on with it and they are saying the intake manifold is melted from the egr being stuck open. I believe the egr valve has to do with emissions and there is a recall on this but yet they want the 5300 to fix it.
Engine light came on along with the service electronic throttle control indicator. Truck would not shift out of 1st gear; 3000 rpms, will not go over 25/30 mph.this was on vehicle start; can't drive it. It is in my garage. May need to be towed to service
There is a very strong diesel exhaust smell in the cab of the truck.this is so strong my wife is unable to ride in the vehicle due to the nausea it causes her.i am concerned about the possibility of carbon monoxide poisoning.everyone that has ridden in my truck, except anyone associated with the dodge dealer i have taken it to for repair, asks what is causing the smell.the dodge dealer says they can not smell anything.from researching this on the internet i know numerous other owners are having the same problem and concerns.dodge seems unwilling to work with me and i would like someone to check out my concerns and see if it warrants an official recall.this is on the new 3.0l eco-diesel engine.
My truck was recalled for an emission recall,v08.all the issues started after that.when the vehicle is moving it has no power between 1000-2200 rpm. It hesitates when the throttle is applied. It is extremely dangerous when accelerating, in the city and on the highway. It does this even after it is warmed up. When towing a boat it is very bad. It can hardly pullthe boat up the ramp. It is a safety and performance issue.
The 2014 ram 1500 sport i bought has had repeated dash and interior lighting problems. The dash lights randomly flicker or don't turn on at all. On some occasions no interior lights at all would work. The truck has been back to the dealership three times but still hasn't been repaired. The dealership has done software updates, re-grounded the electrical system and replaced the body control module without fixing the problem. In addition the remote start sometimes does not start the truck it locks the doors instead, the dealership has been unable to find a solution. I feel that the dial used to select the drive gear is a potential safety hazard. The dial is a similar size and shape as the comfort and radio controls and placed right next to other dash knobs. I believe that a driver could intend to change the radio station or turn the fan down but inadvertently take the truck out of gear. Overall this truck has serious electrical flaws and the possibility of being knocked out of gear while driving. The vehicle is not safe in my opinion.
We purchased a brand new ram 1500 february 27, 2015. We've been having the same on going problem with the vehicle since we purchased this vehicle. We brought it to the dealerships attention on several occasions and have been told the same thing every time which is "yes we acknowledge the problem is their however there is still no fix ".this has been going on for over 6 months. When you bring the vehicle. To a complete stop, it jumps or shifts as if it's trying to jump into another gear. When you try to drive off in the vehicle the vehicle gives a hesitation like it's trying to go into a higher gear before you even pull off. On top of this the vehicle currently have 3 recalls on it. We should not be experiencing this with a brand new truck. We've contacted the dealership several times regarding this issue but we're not getting any results. They just keep saying we're aware of the problem but there is stilll not a fix. We do not feel safe driving this vehicle and would like to see some results! we've been getting the same results for the past 6 or 7 months and have decided to contact nhtsa, hoping to get some results.
Oil leaking from part #68105583af, adapter-engine oil filter.
Engine light on, diagnostic reading: cylinder 6 misfire detected. Random/multiple misfire detected. Number 6 cylinder has a high count of no compression. The engine light stays on stationary and in motion.
Can and lifter failure where the eco mode in the engine shut off certain cylinders and made the lifter mess up the lifter and cam shaft has happened to multiple rams if you call a engine shop they have the same problem with almost every truck and it is at a big cost
I had the recent recall completed at my local dodge dealership and am now scared to drive my truck as there is considerable "lag" upon acceleration.this is a life safety issue as i was almost struck by oncoming traffic.they stated the recall did not affect performance but it has definitely affected performance.i brought it beck to the dealership and they could not explain why it was doing what it was doing and instead said i need to change my oil that of which i changed 2000 miles ago and also try an injector cleaner.my fuel mileage has also decreased from 25 or 26 mpg hwy to 20 mpg hwy.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. While driving 70 mph, the engine revved and the entire instrument panel illuminated. Also, the vehicle accelerated uncontrollably and then decreased with a knocking noise present. Furthermore, when the brake pedal was depressed, the engine continued to rev. The vehicle was serviced at texas dodge (7800 i-40 frontage rd, amarillo, tx 79106, (806) 353-6343) per nhtsa campaign number: 18v332000 (electrical system, vehicle speed control), but the remedy failed to repair the failures. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken back to the same dealer and the software was updated again, but the cause of the failures could not be determined. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was 127,000. *dt
On or about march 6 2014 when the truck sits over night or after about 5 hours when the motor and trans are cold , i notice ahesitation going from reverse to forward, this is a hesitation that is about 2-5 seconds, it seems that the motor is not getting enough air it seems like it wants to idle down. When this idle down itgoes from the hesitation then like a idle air issue. With the hesitation from a low idle to idle that makes it go then i have to give this gas or try to since its a lot of electrical know.i am not sure. I live on a busy road and this is a issue that can affect my safety. I should not have to worry if it will go into drive. At this time this is a issue, i want to know when i put this into drive, it goes like it shouldthis is a brand new truck.

The plastic oil cooler/filter housing cracked and is leaking oil on my ram truck with v6 pentastar engine. This has been a known issue with this part assembly for several+ years already. It cracked about 3 weeks ago along with several thousands of other people across the united state during the cold weather that a good portion of the united states went through. As of tuesday, february 23, 2021 there was an estimated 37,700 back orders as per a dealership service tech on this part and as far as i know this is just the factory oem part from dealers, it doesn't include the after market part which is also unavailable and on back order everywhere! no one has this part. It might be available by the middle of march, maybe, the dealers are unsure. A lot of websites say they have it until you call them or they say t will be shipped in march or april, but who really knows that for sure.there is a long history of this part having problems and the consumer having to fix and pay for the automakers bad part and that needs to stop! as of right now there are some 37,700+ that have an oil leak and more than likely cannot even drive the vehicle due to this problem and possibly having to rent or buy another vehicle to get to work and whatever else they need to use it for which is more money out of the consumers pocket. Right now i cannot drive my truck due to this problem and i have no idea when i will get a part for it.go online and look this problem up and you will find a lot of complaints and how long this problem has been happening.attached is an image of the bad oil cooler/filter assembly. This part is on a lot of chrysler/dodge vehicles with v6 pentastar engines.
The contact owns a 2014 dodge ram 1500. While the vehicle was coasting downhill, the vehicle lunged forward and decreased in speed. The contact stated that the vehicle accelerated independently and decreased in speed independently. The rpms increased to 2,500-3,000 before the vehicle decreased in speed independently.the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.the approximate failure mileage was 14,000.
My truck started leaking coolant out the rear of engine down transmission and on the ground and motor wouldn't hold any coolant in it so i called fca customer care and they told me vehicle is not driveable to get it to ram dealership for repairs it's been sitting there 9 days now and i cant get anybody from dealer or customer care to get it worked on and diagnosed it's under factory warranty plus the ecodiesel settlement extended warranty coverage for all parts of possible problem and they will not loan me a vehicle of any kind and i'm in need of my vehicle repaired and back to being able to drive it ,i call ram customer care everyday and keep getting told nothing about it getting repaired or problem located
On 11/22/17 at around 5pm driving east bound on i-76 in pennsylvania our 2014 ram 1500 ecodiesel engine caught on fire.as i tried to stop i realized i had no brakes.we slowed to a stop as we started up a hill, i put it in park and we all got out just in time.a certified chrysler mechanic had just 2 days earlier finished installing a new engine.both the dealership & chrysler have denied all ownership and no root cause evaluation has been completed.i believe a fuel line failed due to faulty workmanship, but without a third party independent investigation i guess we will never know and some other customer may experience the same thing.
The contact owns a 2014 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that after purchasing the vehicle he noticed a chemical odor inside the vehicle that later became stronger. The contact indicated that he and another passenger suffered from dizziness, nausea and vomiting from the odor. The contact returned the vehicle to the dealer because of the defect. The contact indicated that employees at the dealership confirmed the defect was present in the vehicle and indicated that the replacement parts were ordered to correct the defect. The contact was not informed what parts would be replaced. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 1000.
Completed aem update which promised no change in performance. Truck is now dangerous to drive and does not meet my needs, which is why i purchased the truck. I nearly get t-boned pulling in or across traffic. The lag in the truck is extreme. I own a 21 foot boat and can barely pull it out of my 2 mile driveway that is on a slight hill. Truck bogs down and nearly stalls. Very disappointed in the truck after the update.
1. Had to replace the exhaust sytem because the automatic exhaust stopped working after towing the truck to the dealer to create a forced regen 2. Replaced 2 turbos3. After emission recall was completed, engine was loosing antifreeze and overheated. Added antifreeze several times and then the engine started blowing white smoke, engine knocking like a loose crank or rocker arm truck lost complete power. The truck was delivered to ram dealer in riverhead, after spending 1600 dollars for engine diagnosis, which was clear apparent to anyone , the said engine was no good.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. The egr cooler valve fracturedthe heath stopped operatingconsequence, risk of fire, repairs not coveredunder warrantythe contact stated that while driving approximately 50 mph, the hether stopped working. The following day the vehicle was taken to the dealer mitchell chrysler dodge ram, 416 hopmeadow st, simsbury, ct 06070, they determined that the " egr " cooler valve fractured and needed replacement. The contact also stated that the engine was replaced at 112,00 miles in 2017 by the same dealer mitchell chrysler dodge ram, 416 hopmeadow st, simsbury, ct 06070. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was filed. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 186,000. Vin unavailable.
My truck has an exhaust leak that allows raw diesel fumes to be drawn into the vehicle's hvac system.when the truck is stationary and the engine is idling, diesel exhaust fumes can be easily detected in the cab of the truck.because this truck is equipped with scr, def, and dpf systems, you should never be able to smell raw diesel exhaust when the engine is running.however, when the truck is stationary, you can smell raw diesel exhaust in the cab and when standing outside the truck.i believe the leak is coming from the exhaust elbow, just down stream from the turbo assembly.this is a known weak point in the exhaust system as many ram ecodiesel owners have experienced the same leak and symptoms.
Vehicle stalls and loses all power and electrical, shifting itself into park while driving. This is due to the faulty tipm in chrysler vehicles. This has occurred while driving with my wife and children on the highway and on many other occasions; there is no warning or indication that it is going to happen, it just happens. This is unsafe and could result in multiple fatalities. This has been an ongoing issue since december 2018. I purchased the vehicle in may 2018. After doing research as to what the problem could be i discovered that this is an ongoing issue that chrysler is aware of and to my knowledge have done nothing to resolve this issue. Had i known that purchasing this vehicle would endanger my family, i never would have even considered buying it.
Vehicle had well know lifter failer inside a 5.7l hemi. The failure caused a cam shaft notch to be placed in the lobby of the shaft. Vehicle still has factory warranty but factory oem parts that are know to fail we're put back in. Major safety concern due to possible motor failure while driving loosing all power to vehicle and hardning of breaking system.
My wife and i were on a long road trip with our infant during christmas. All aspects of my truck were operational and no warning signs. My truck is an ecodiesel. On the way home the temps were below freezing and it began to rain. We tried to turn the heat on in the truck to find there was no heat. The truck was running at normal operating temperature with no signs of overheating. We kept driving until i could safely exit the highway. We fueled up and i checked the truck over visually but found no reason for the truck to have no heat and still be operating under normal temperatures. We returned to driving and had heat for a brief moment before it stopped working again. Still the truck was operating at normal temperature. When i finally decided to check the antifreeze level, i learned that the truck was very low and did not have enough to fill the heater core, but just enough to keep the truck from overheating. I added antifreeze and continued to drive the truck for a couple of weeks and could not determine where the leak was. Finally, after reading several others having the same issue, i discovered a hidden leak in the egr cooler that was essentially leaking and burning off immediately leaving no trace behind of the leak. It eventually got bad enough that it would leave coolant puddles under the truck. Even with the pool of coolant under the truck, there is no visible evidence of the leak except for minor dampness around one port of the egr cooler.
Broken exhaust manifold bolts
2014 ram ecodiesel - i recently had my aem recall completed at an authorized dealer with the promise that performance and fuel mileage would not be affected. Not only were they both negatively affected, they were affected to the point of a safety concern. My gas mileage going down by over 5mpg is nothing compared to almost getting t-boned by oncoming traffic due to extensive turbo lag (2-3 seconds) after the aem was completed. This has happened more than once when i go to make a left turn from a dead stop, press the accelerator, and the truck just sits there. Luckily there has been a shoulder for me to swerve into to get out of the way from being rear-ended. The 0-60 time while entering the freeway on ramp is also cause for concern. Multiple times i have had a fellow drive lay on their horn because the truck just cannot gain speed fast enough. Now, if i were getting better gas mileage with the decrease in performance, that would be one thing. But to get significantly worse gas mileage and have this death box not accelerate when the accelerator is pressed is just awful. Fca has lied to their consumers with this update and should not be allowed to have that recall installed on vehicles.
Wasn't sure if this fell under power train or engine itself.2014 ram 1500 3.6l engine.oil filter housing is plastic.noticed an oil leak upon changing oil.brought to dealer and hoped it fell under power train warranty.did not qualify so i'm out almost 1,000 for the repair.researching, this is a known common problem.dealer attributed it to being over tightened filter housing.well research shows this happens due to the temperature cycling over time.oil leaking onto the engine manifold creates a fire hazard under the proper conditions.manufacturer should put forward a recall to replace the housings or design one that is metal for an adequate replacement.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. While driving 60 mph at night, the electrical system completely failed without warning and then rebooted on its own. On another occasion, while driving at a low rate of speed, the engine completely failed without warning. The contact drove to m & m chrysler, dodge, jeep, and ram (131 mill st, liberty, ny 12754, 845-292-3500) to have the vehicle diagnosed, but no failure was found. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was referred back to the dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 200,000.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. While driving 55 mph, the check engine indicator illuminated. The contact performed his own diagnostic and replaced the camshaft and crankshaftsensors. The contact stated that the engine continued tomisfire and the check engine warning indicator illuminated again. The contact performed several repairs on his vehicle, but the failure recurred. The contact drove to whitten brothers of ashland (11409 washington hwy, ashland, va 23005, 804-798-6071) where it was diagnosed that either the motor or the camshaft and lifters needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 182,000.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired per manufacturer recall number: v08 (emissions); however, the check engine warning indicator remained illuminated ever since the remedy was performed. Additionally, there was sputtering while driving and fumes were present inside the vehicle. The contact stated that the fuel economy went from approximately 25 miles per gallon to 16 miles per gallon. The vehicle was taken to boniface-hiers chrysler dodge jeep (1775 e merritt island causeway, merritt island, fl 32952, (321) 452-8181) to be diagnosed, but the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact was informed that the software update per the manufacturer recall was updated correctly. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
Ram performed recall update v08 to the emissions system on this vehicle to become complaint with federal emissions. After the update there is a 3 second delay in throttle response. This generally occurs while the truck is stopped and is taking a left or right turn. This is a very serious safety issue that has almost resulted in a couple accidents. Recall v08 was not supposed to effect fuel economy, but post recall i lost 6mpg.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. The contact stated that the bolt that held the exhaust manifold fractured without warning. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to nhtsa. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 126,000.
I had the aem update done on my 2014 ram ecodiesel.the recall drastically affected the performance of the truck.the acceleration is now dangerously slow.my wife, my son, and i have all nearly been in accidents right after the recall was done because we were not aware how the performance had been reduced so much.from a standstill the truck takes 3-5 seconds to begin to accelerate.the truck is dangerous to drive.
Engine trouble: top end damage to lifters/camshaft. I replaced the entire engine
Major oil leak engine cooler. Causing oil to leak while driving which is getting on the tires. On wet roads this has caused the rear end of the truck to fishtail at normal drive speeds around curves and take offs.
Ram started dying in december 2017 while driving at hwy speed.all electric power remained, no check engine light illuminated.on or about 1 january 2018, engine shut down at highway speed and check engine light illuminated. That day, the engine surged 2 times without dying. Dealer verified a u1424 trouble code recorded 3 times. Dealer had the ram for about 1 week and could not make it duplicate, but indicated they were going to change the crankshaft senor. They did not do the repair. Dealer cleared the code and i retrieved it. The ram continued to die, but has not presented a trouble code. I filed a complaint with dodge/ram (case#33123585) to which they recently determined that until the ram cannot move under its own power, there is nothing they can do, despite the serious safety issue. Since december, the ram has now died approximately 7 times and surged more times than i remember. The first time i was pulled into the ditch as i tried to get off the highway. 3 times, i've narrowly missed being rear-ended after the ram died twice while navigating through a traffic light and once while turning at an intersection. This morning it again died as i was slowing down to navigate a traffic light. I didn't realize it died until i tried to accelerate. By that time, i barely had enough momentum to pull to the side of the road. The vehicle behind me had to slam on their brakes and swerve to keep from rear-ending me. That individual confronted me in a very hostile manner, but i diffused the situation when i explained what had happened. The attitude of dodge/ram is very concerning as their "policy" outweighs the safety of me, my family and others on the road. There are many complaints about this very issue, but ram states they've never dealt with the issue. I have photos on my cellphone of the instrument panel when the ram dies. I don't have access to the communications with ram
I noticed a ticking sound and power loss plus my engine would not rev past 4,000 rpm. The first mechanic stated an exhaust header leak. He found three broken bolts and stated this is a very common 5.7l hemi issue (my research confirmed this). $1,200 to repair. The ticking was still there however. The second mechanic (2 months later) found a misfire on cylinder 5. Further digging showed the lifter had failed and the cam lobe was ground down. Metal shavings were dispersed throughout the engine. Best repair was a new engine $9,556. I've now spent almost half of what i paid for this vehicle on repairs. The second mechanic stated this lifter issue is very common too. He was surprised there was not already a recall on this issue. If you scour the web it's abundantly clear that this lifter issue is indeed a problem with both the 5.7l and 6.3l hemi motors. This could be a safety issue if the engine were to catastrophically fail while in motion on the highway or elsewhere.
The contact owns a 2014 dodge ram 1500. While parked at night, the contact stated that the vehicle was unoccupied and a loud unusual noise emitted from underneath the hood. The failure recurred sporadically at any given time. The vehicle was taken to the dealer eight times for diagnosis. The mechanic was unable to locate the failure. On the third visit, the dealer was able to duplicate the failure however, there was no solution and the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 16,000.
My vehicle has tremendous lag when trying to accelerate, but it is not all the time. I never know when pulling out into a road at a left hand turn if i am going to get throttle response or a dead petal. Too many times not i have been stuck with tremendous lag and almost rear ended by vehicles while turning onto a road. This was never an issue until a forced "fix" for a recall on the ecodiesel engine. Upon initial acceleration sometimes there is a 1-2 second lag before the vehicle even seems to accelerate at all. My mile per gallon has dropped several points and def is being over consumed. I do not know when the truck will accelerate or just lag out on me. I do not know if this is a motor or transmission or none of the above issue. I do know that many people with the "aem fix" for the recalled rams is having the same issues. This vehicle does not seem safe to drive to to its unpredictability with acceleration. From a cold start, the vehicle is extremely sluggish for several minutes or miles, and that is in the warm ca sun.... I am waiting for the vehicle to not work at all. This has been ongoing for several months since having the vehicle "fixed"
Lifter tick with misfire on cylinder 2. Decreased gas mileage. Most notable at idle.
Since the last recall, this vehicle has had a major delay when hitting the gas pedal. This has almost caused multiple accidents due to lack of power when hitting the gas pedal.
After having the aem update completed, i lost 5mpg in fuel economy (from 23 mpg combined, to 18 mpg combined), i also am experiencing an incredibly unsafe amount of acceleration lag (4-6 seconds). When pulling into traffic travelling at 40+mph, this lag in acceleration causes me to roll into traffic with no power or ability to accelerate until the engine decides to kick in.this lag in acceleration is the biggest concern as the duration of lag is inconsistent and unpredictable. I do not feel safe in this vehicle and am not confident in it's performance anymore. I, like many other owners would like to get rid of this truck. I think fca should take bake the truck becuase it has become a financial/safety nightmare. As of january 2019, i have spent over $7000 on the exhaust system prior to the aem update coming out (egr cooler clogged, turbo hoses bad, etc.) luckliy, i just had the egr cooler replaced under the new warranty but the drivability (good fuel economy and power) is no longer present. If this truck functioned like this when i first test drove it, i would never have bought it.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to twin rivers chrysler, jeep, dodge located at 529 west court street beatrice, ne 68310, phone number (402)-228-3310, to be inspected. The contact was informed that the hydraulic lifters failed to operate as intended which caused damage to the camshaft. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 105,000.
Oil filler housing.. My oil filler housing cracked and caused a major oil leak and caused oil to cover everything on my engine took it to the dealer to be servifed and was told it's a common problem but isn't covered under warranty. The amount of oil that leaked everywhere could have cause a major fire.
Received notice on 9/3/2015 aboutexhaust high frequency decoupler and notice on 10/9/2015 for battery wire harness. The dealer says they don't have parts. I received another notice on 1/20/2016 for same two problems. Dealer says they have no parts. Its been seven months and no word on parts.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. The contact heard a tapping sound while driving the vehicle. The vehicle was examined by an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the manifold bolts became damaged and sheared off due to the weight of the engine manifold and exhaust pipes. The vehicle was not repaired. The local dealer (james hodge dodge, 5100 se loop 286, paris, tx) and the manufacturer were notified. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 120,000. Vin is invalid.
After returning home from a brief trip approximately 20 mi i came home,i then left my house driving approximately 3 mi when i was in the middle of a busy intersection, as i started to go through the intersection my truck suddenly died i was able to coast through the intersection, with no power steering and no assisted power brakes, using a lot of force i was able to bring the truck to a complete stop, on the edge of a busy road while i waited for help to arrive. I called a tow truck and had the vehicle towed to a local dealership, they told me a part that was called a tone wheel had failed. After doing a bit of online searching i see that this is a fairly common problem amongst these ram eco-diesels. Upon further investigation i find that certain eco-diesels ranging from 2014 to 2018 were being recalled for this part but my particular 2014 is not included the part is a wheel that a sensor looks at and times the fuel system with the other engine components for combustion when this sensor doesn't see the wheel it does not know where the rest of the engine is in its cycle causing it to shut off immediately giving it no power to propel itself to a safe spot. The recall w58 as it's known in fcaram trucks should fix this issue with a simple program change whereas the dealer wants to replace the part with a exact replacement which will likely have the same problem the next time we may not be so lucky. My fear is that if my wife or my teen age son would be driving it, they may not have had the strength to steer it and stop in a safe place i believe i was lucky. As i understand it the recall is a simple program change and eliminates the defective tone wheel system in question . I believe the recall should apply to my truck and proves that they know that they have a problem with this system.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would drive rough and the engine temperature was elevated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the electronic gas recovery module had malfunctioned, and the engine intake manifold was cracked. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not yet notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 97,000.
2014 ram ecodiesel. Had the emissions update done per the fca class action lawsuit requirements. After the update, my truck has an extremely dangerous turbo/throttle lag. This lag can last anywhere from 2-5 seconds. Additionally, the truck was advertised as 29 mpg on the highway. After the update, i am sitting around 17 mpg. I have lodged a complaint with fca and am still waiting to hear back. This is no longer an emissions issue, this is a safety issue and i can guarantee you it will lead to numerous accidents and possibly death. A simple google search will show that this issue is not unique to my ecodiesel. Almost every ram and jeep that had the emissions update is dealing with the same safety risks.
Received a letter from fca, titled, approved emissions modification disclosure 3.0l diesel. Took letter and visited dodge dealer, they did not know anything about the letter and stated that they could not do anything without a recall number. I have since monitored motor for any signs of overheating or loss of cooling fluid. The truck continues to have low gas mileage, shifts hard and at high rpm. When first started is sluggish and i have to drive cautiously as it hesitated on take off.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 mph, several warning indicators flashed and the vehicle started to loose motive power but did not stall. The contact pulled over in a parking lot where the vehicle stalled. The contact was unable to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic for a diagnostic. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 87,400. The vin was not available.
Exhaust manifold bolts broken causing an exhaust leak at start up.
I was driving down the road when suddenly the dummy check engine light came on and my gas gauge went from full to empty. Computer is telling truck there is no fuel and will not allow me to access milage etc on dash board. Iv read online that this has been an on going issue with this vehicle. Why no recall? as this is dangerous. I cant even keep track of milage in order to drive long distance. I see you have to remove truck bed in order to replace junk parts. $1000 cost to the consumer. Ram is aware of this issue and will not help. Thank you for your time.
Vb1 recall is happening to my truck and still unknown solution and parts aren't available.is the truck ok to drive, will it be on fire? bulletproof diesel looks like a great option.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. While driving 55 mph, the vehicle stalled, but was able to be restarted. The vehicle was taken to vancampen motors inc. (601 w 3rd st, williamsport, pa 17701, (570) 326-0567), but the cause of the failure was not determined. The vehicle was not repaired and the failure persisted. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was 51,000.
Catastrophic engine failure @ 39,000 km.engine replaced by fcc.catastrophic engine failure again @ 58,000 km less than 20,000 km since original engine replaced.both times while driving on highway and had to take evasive measures to get off highway safely.
The truck has an exaust leak. It's on the passenger side manifold. The bolt broke for some reason and is a big common issue in these trucks. There needs to be a recall because the bolts used wasnt strong enough to with stand pressure and corrosion. My cruise control also no longer works like it should. It will go into cruise control very rarely and when it does it's hard to get it out. I have to shut the truck off most of the time to get it out of cruise control mode. The lights that luminate the press buttons in the steering wheel flicker randomly. So it tells me it must be a wiring issue of some sort. I've contacted a dodge dealer ship and they are aware of the problem but they refuse to fix it as they say it's normal wear and tear. I'm afraid with the exaust leak the extra heat in the engine bay may result in melted wires or even worse a fire. Thank you for reviewing this problem.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. While driving 65 mph, the vehicle decelerated to 10 mph without warning. In addition, the service electric control warning indicator illuminated. The failure occurred intermittently. Findlay chrysler dodge jeep ram (10305 u.s. 224 west, findlay, oh 45840, (419) 423-1715) diagnosed and repaired the turbo charger, but the failure recurred. Reineke chrysler dodge jeep ram (207 w water st, north baltimore, oh 45872, (419) 492-7003) was contacted. The vehicle was not repaired a second time. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 97,800.
Small holes in egr hoses, caused coolant leak. Resulting in egr to not heat up enough and exhaust filter to get full and not go into regen.

After pulling into my drive way with my adult son in the passenger seat i was rolling up to the garage with my foot on the brake pedal slowing down the truck. I stopped the truck completely, by pushing on the brake pedal harder, about 5 feet from the house.i reached down to rotate the shift dial to park, "p".after turning to "p" the truck engine started revving and the truck lurched forward, after initially being startled i looked down and saw the shift dial was at "p" and the engine was still revving. The truck then struck the corner of the house while i was almost standing up on the brake pedal trying to get it to stop.i turned the shift dial to reverse and back to park and the truck stopped revving and moving. Then i backed away from the house.being a retired police detective the first thing i did was to check to see if the factory floor mat had dislodged and jammed into the pedals but it was properly hooked in place. After getting the trucks body damage repaired i had it towed to the dealer but they could find nothing wrong with the truck.i did notice that when i picked the truck up from the dealer there was a clicking sound under the dash when i rotated the shift dial from "r" to "p" that i do not recall hearing before.no clicking is heard when changing between any other gears.
There is a faint propane-like smell coming through the air vents when truck is at idle.

Initially, the vehicle had an abnormally strong new car smell.(the smell has now been widely reported on internet forums by other owners.)i thought this would dissipate over time.the smell was so strong that i had to leave the windows open while driving due to a nauseating odor.after sitting in the vehicle, occupants could actually taste some type of residue.in addition, a foul odor came from the heating system, especially at idle.after two months of ownership, and frustration, i took the vehicle to the dealership (although i had mentioned the strong odor before during a follow-up call).the dealership flushed the cooling system and replaced the hoses because of a technical service document. The document stated there was a chemical reaction between a new type of coolant and the interior lining of coolant hoses.unfortunately, this procedure did not eliminate the foul smell experienced while driving.i noticed the odor was strongest once the engine warmed, so it took longer to surface during cold temperatures.i took the vehicle back to the dealership and they said i should call the manufacturer.my initial call was placed over a month ago.an additional coolant system flush was performed, but yielded no results.i have been sent to different divisions within chrysler, and have mostly experienced frustrating delays and inaccurate data entry.i've visited the dealership a total of four times, and spent hours on the phone with the manufacturer regarding this problem.it seems the odor is being pulled in from the engine bay.the best way to describe the odor is as some type of chemical finish or residue entering the cabin.my vehicle is for family use.i feel extremely uncomfortable in the vehicle because of the actual odor and potential health risks.
There is a nasty propane smell coming from the truck, i have noticed this is an issue with the 2013 dodge ram 1500. I have been told that there is an issue with the antifreeze that is being used and is causing a chemical reaction with the rubber hoses. System has to be flushed and new antifreeze added and all rubber hoses replaced.

2014 dodge ram 1500.consumer writes in regards to navigation system problems.the consumer stated the screen would freeze and turn black. Also, the system would display a different location, other than where the consumer was. The consumer also stated, the headlights shut off while his wife was driving, one night. She was able to pull over and turn the lights back on.
Passenger side headlight not working. Headlight is not blown , no fuse to change . Only fix is at the dealer . Serious safety issue while out on the road and no way to get to a dealer . Travel while it's dark a lot in a rural area with a lot of wildlife.
The ram 1500, 2014, that i currently drive has terrible headlights. As the truck has gotten a little older the headlights have gotten much worse. They have always been terrible since day one. I have taken the truck to have the headlights professionally buffed out, and i have changed all four bulbs with the best bulbs i can find. Almost no difference. The truck is a danger to drive at night. I cant see at all. I am sure people have trouble seeing me as well.
Head on collision, that caused entire front frame to be replaced and air bags did not deploy.
The 2014 ram 1500 sport i bought has had repeated dash and interior lighting problems. The dash lights randomly flicker or don't turn on at all. On some occasions no interior lights at all would work. The truck has been back to the dealership three times but still hasn't been repaired. The dealership has done software updates, re-grounded the electrical system and replaced the body control module without fixing the problem. In addition the remote start sometimes does not start the truck it locks the doors instead, the dealership has been unable to find a solution. I feel that the dial used to select the drive gear is a potential safety hazard. The dial is a similar size and shape as the comfort and radio controls and placed right next to other dash knobs. I believe that a driver could intend to change the radio station or turn the fan down but inadvertently take the truck out of gear. Overall this truck has serious electrical flaws and the possibility of being knocked out of gear while driving. The vehicle is not safe in my opinion.
The chmsl 3rd brake light has failed in my 2013 ram 1500. A virginia state inspection shop (aaa) indicated no power to the bulb. A ram dealership's technician indicated it was the tipm. A second dealership technician stated it is the body control module. The cargo lamp lights do work fine. This was replicated using 2 sets of chmsl lighting packages (no brake light, working cargo lights). The tail light brake lights work fine. There are no warning lights on the dash to indicate a problem.
Ram dash light problemsi have a 2014 dodge ram 1500 i am currently experiencing problems with the dash lights won't turn off. On the morning the battery was dead. I jumped . All other lights are off (headlights/interior/etc) except the dash and the light that shows it's in park and disconnected the negative terminal so i don't drain the battery.
The lighting system (headlights) on my 2014 ram truck are dangerous to use at night.they are very dim and produce sub-standard lighting for safe driving.i am forced to use high beams during night driving.this is notably not safe for oncoming drivers, but it is the only option i have.after a quick internet search, this is a known problem with many chrysler, ram and jeep products.
The switch light stay on at all time unless i put it on auto , if i put the light on on work but went am done i try to turn light off only work if i switch it to auto. I wondering if is only my truck or anybody else has come forward with it ?
All of the following in this review happens at all times. When in motion, stationary, all driving conditions and all times of day and night. Overhead console on truck where led courtesy map/reading lights have issues. Light flickers and dims when on. It makes interior visibility near impossible. Upon inspecting the unit the wiring going to the lights and sun room are chaffed and pose as a fire hazard and or equipment failure if shortage occurs.rear third brake light seal deteriorates and lets water into the cab. This can rust out flooring and causes mold issues. Ruins leather seats. Also can deteriorate seat belts possibly as well as rust or cause weakness in seatbelts for rear passengers. Will severely damage and/or stain interior roofing, carpet, seat belts and/or seats.
The headlights on this vehicle do not provide adequate illumination for safe night time driving especially on wet pavement.
4 separate times now, lost my headlights while driving at night. Information center showed low beams and high beams out, all i had was marker lights and fog lights. After sitting for a few minutes, thinking what was going on, the lights came back on. Each instance happened at night, while driving, after dark, and twice almost caused an accident.
My brand new vehicle had a front left headlight that was out. Stopped by police, went to dealer next day, they said they see this across model line. Brand new car . Was concerned how dark road was driving at night..never thought on a brand new car this would occur !
Electrical seems to have affected 3 items all within the last 6months at different times:non-related categories -(one fog light, front air bags & dash board dimmer switch)# 1 - (fog light) only passenger side, checked fuses, wiring and bulb - all ok, # 2 (dimmer switch does not dim driver side gauges/panel) and # 3-air bag warning light/- warning symbol/picture shows front air bags. Checked recalls, nothing reported on your site note: all other electrical devices etc are in working order at this time(fog light - stationary/performing a walk around for a road trip, gauge/panel- at a idle, air bags- when i started vehicle- warning light appeared, and dimmer switch - does not fully engage dim only dims roof light, not gauges- thank you for your time, have a good day!
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. After the vehicle was placed in the park position and the emergency brake was engaged, the vehicle began to roll forward moments after the driver exited the vehicle. As a result, the vehicle crashed into the garage door. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the cause of the failure was unable to be determined. In addition, while driving, the vehicle failed to accelerate above 30 mph. On another occasion, while driving, the headlights became inoperable and the instrument panel flickered. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 15,000.
When driving the vehicle, the headlights blink (as ifyou are on a bumpy road). Took to mack grubbs/columbia, ms for a recall issue and had them to look at lights.they told me they see that in a lot of those model trucks.i picked up my truck from the recall repair and was informed i owed $40 for diagnosis of the head light issue and that it would be $180 plus tax and labor to repair the passenger side and the same to repair the driver side.that is was a wiring harness issue.the service man told me and my husband that the is very common in the ram trucks.1) that should mean a recall. 2) our truck was in our possession exactly 2 years, 1 day when we dropped it off for the recall issue to be fixed (which was about a week after i had them to diagnos the check engine/lights and was told of a recall and set up the appt). 3) we purchased an electrical insurance at time of vehicle purchase.i do not reccommend this vehicle to anyone!the lights blinking on/off as you are driving makes oncoming traffic blink their lights or think you are trying to stop them.not safe at all.
I've owned 4 chrysler/dodge vehicles 98 avenger, 99 ram 1500, 03 300 m and now 2014 ram 1500 which everyone has had electrical issues. I have not put money into my new truck yet but have put thousands into other vehicles before i sold them for less than blue book just to be rid of all the issues. I bought my currant truck new in june 2014, i first began noticing glitches late summer 2015 and now there are electric surges, fault indicators that are fine and lights will not shut off killing my battery. I bought new this time assuming i would eliminate these issues but i was wrong, my truck has had no accidents of any sort and yet i have a $35,000 truck that's unreliable as well as unsafe. Durning my research chrysler has been aware of this issue for decades and should be responsible for their lack of safety concerns for their customers. Very disheartening as well as frustrating
As previous recall on same model of trucks, the leak issue on the rear window or third brake is still present due to the sealant wearing off and not stopping rain from entering the cab and ruining upholstery , and eventually promoting rust from inside the cab. The vehicle can be stationary or in motion
My driver side headlight will collect significant water inside he assembly. It will fog over so bad that the effectiveness of the headlight is seriously diminished. This causes poor night vision. This is a safety hazards. Other oncoming drivers will flash me thinking i have my high rams on. Visibility on the drivers side is severely impeded. I have removed the assembly and poured out 1/2 cup of water from the vent opening.

2014 dodge ram. Consumer writes in regards to problems with ignition, lights and transmission. *ldthe consumer stated the vehicle was parked on a hill when it began to roll backwards and crashed through a gate. The consumer grabbed the wheel, from standing outside the vehicle, directing the vehicle towards an embankment, where it landed. The vehicle dragged the consumer along the way.

My 2014 dodge express truck headlights and fog lights are very bad for driving at night in the north west washington state and are worthless in the rain; can't see headlights on the road surface. Please fix this safety issue i commute zip code 98031 to 98065 on hwy 18; it's over a 1300 foot high mountain pass. The headlights are useless. I feel unsafe at highway speed going down hill on the highway at night in the rain.
Instrument cluster flickers and fades.impacts sensors - air pressure monitors alarms come on even though there is no issue with the air pressure monitors, having 2 different shops check on them and advising that they dont need replacing and that the sensors are good.also triggered an alert that the car was not in drive - even though it was in drive. The truck would no go - i had to ashift back to park, turn the truck off and restart it also impacts in cabin lighting - it turns off and while driving it will turn on.this is a serious safety issue and there is no recall for it.shop is unwilling to investigate and offers solution of replacing the whole instrument cluster which is over $1000 usd for the part alone.this issue is ongoing - and it seems to be impacting many many trucks.
Headlights, turn signals, and brake lights intermittently work.
Ram is now refusing to give owners the option of daytime running lights on specific trucks, unless said vehicle is "for the canadian market or is a fleet vehicle". Previously, owners could request a sales code be added to their vin to allow fca dealers to enable these drls. Drls are customer selectable on many other fca vehicles regardless of the intended market. Usa ram truck owners, and fca dealers, have recently been denied the option of choosing a code chrysler provided to enable these lights. On my specific truck with projector style headlamps, the option code is lm5, but different codes were provided according to light style and model year. Lm5 enables a very visible drl on my model, that will grab the inattentive motorists eye. This issue spans many previous years and exists to the current model year.a very simple procedure allowing consumers the option of this safety item, is now denied to us.although drls are apparently not mandated in the majority of the usa, as they are in canada, i believe they should be at the very least user selectable.my hope is that fca could be forced to offer these codes again, and make it public knowledge that they are available.
Driving the vehicle at night with both headlights and fog (driving) lights on does not provide enough illumination for safe travel. My wife and i both noticed several times that you cannot see at night when there is any wet pavement surrounding this vehicle.on the highway at 55 mphyou cannot see your lights on the pavement (scary!). In addition, i drove the vehicle multiple times at night and found it extremely difficult to navigate with the stock lighting supplied by dodge with this vehicle.i replaced the stock system with an aftermarket hid system to correct the defect at considerable personal expense. I would have expected dodge to supply a vehicle of this type with proper lighting technology. Please see prior model years complaints. Dodge refuses to correct this defect even though multiple safety complaints been made regarding it. Also check dodge truck forums and you will see there are multiple complaints regarding stock lighting systems on ram vehicles.
The main headlamps stopped working while i was driving on the highway at night. I had to play with the knob to at 70mph in the dark to make them work again. They malfunction when the switch is set to "auto." since then, the lights also turn themselves on intermittently when stationary in the middle of the night.
With around 14000 miles on my truck i was driving home and was alerted that my front left blinker was burnt out, moments later i was notified that my right front blinker was burnt out.a few miles down the interstate from that i was notified that my right fog light had burnt out.i was going to take my truck in the next day (monday morning).before heading to the dealership i inspected my front lights to find that my front driver's side headlight was out also.i waited until the sun came up and prior to heading to the dealership i checked the lights again.all were working so i didn't take my truck to the dealership (monday mid-morning).tuesday morning the cycle repeated itself getting notified first of the left front blinker, then the right front blinker, then the fog light.i saw no reflection from the tail light blinker as well.my truck is currently at the dealership getting checked.
Tipm (totally integrated power module) failure. Dealership fails to honor vehicle warranty and is not replacing the defective part under full bumper warranty. This 1 part causes many issues to the entire vehicle and major road safety issues. I have tried many attempts with dealer and manufacturer directly to have this warranty part repaired and they fail to honor such repairs. I see online that this exact part has many known issues and problems for many similar people. This 1 part affects all problems above because all these parts are electrically controlled.
The headlights are unsafe. They are so dim you cant see anything in front of you at night. The brights were on for 15 miles and not one car flashed there brights at me. Looking at the internet they are 1000s complants of dodge ram headlights. The dealer where you bought it at just tell you to change the bulbs and that does nothing. This is a safety issue that needs taken care of right away.

Bought 2014 ram 1500 new at tomball dodge inc. In tomball texas on march 28, 2014. On april 14, 2014 at start up, a huge cloud of white/light blue smoke came out of tailpipes. Mileage was 702. From this day forward it has done this numerous times. I called dealership where i purchased it, couldn't get anyone to take my call or return my calls. This has happened on the following dates, 4-14-2014 702 miles smoked4-20-2014 1101 miles smoked4-29-2014 1332 miles smokedtoo many times it smoked to list ,now it is using oil at 3500 milesplease help me.
On or about march 6 2014 when the truck sits over night or after about 5 hours when the motor and trans are cold , i notice ahesitation going from reverse to forward, this is a hesitation that is about 2-5 seconds, it seems that the motor is not getting enough air it seems like it wants to idle down. When this idle down itgoes from the hesitation then like a idle air issue. With the hesitation from a low idle to idle that makes it go then i have to give this gas or try to since its a lot of electrical know.i am not sure. I live on a busy road and this is a issue that can affect my safety. I should not have to worry if it will go into drive. At this time this is a issue, i want to know when i put this into drive, it goes like it shouldthis is a brand new truck.

I was driving down the road when suddenly the dummy check engine light came on and my gas gauge went from full to empty. Computer is telling truck there is no fuel and will not allow me to access milage etc on dash board. Iv read online that this has been an on going issue with this vehicle. Why no recall? as this is dangerous. I cant even keep track of milage in order to drive long distance. I see you have to remove truck bed in order to replace junk parts. $1000 cost to the consumer. Ram is aware of this issue and will not help. Thank you for your time.
Intermittent failing fuel level sensor for vehicle at low mileage
Fuel sensor fail occurs when tank gets to halfway point; once it fails the tank appears to be empty and a check engine light comes on. Me, along with thousands of other drivers experience this. My vehicle started experiencing this with only 50,000 miles, this shouldn't be happening and this is a defective unit. A failure such as this can cause headaches to drivers by giving them a false sense of what is actually being presented to them on their instrument panel.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. While at the dealer (columbiana dodge chrysler, 100 commerce circle, columbiana, oh 44404), the contact was informed of an unknown recall for hervehicle. The dealer also informed the contact that the vehicle needed an electronic computer box sensor assembly and a fuel pump relay circuit board. The manufacturer was not notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The nhtsa campaign information was not provided. The contact had not experienced a failure.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. The contact stated that after refueling the fuel tank to the full level, the check engine warning light and fuel system warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the fuel gauge read empty. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the fuel sensor located inside the fuel tank was defective and the fuel tank needed to be replaced to fix the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 33,000.
Was driving down the highway and my dash gauges goes out and throwing a check engine light. The code resulted in a fuel level sensor a circuit high . The fuel sensors is defective at 61000 miles and causing my dash gauses not to work.
Due to the ecodiesel settlement program, i allowed fca to update the ecm to meet their requirements for the settlement. After the update, my truck is dangerously slow from a standing start. I never know if the truck will accelerate as i merge into traffic. Sometime it is barely adequate but most of the time there is a 2 to 4 second delay before the turbo kicks in (around 2,000 rpm) and then there is a strong turbo leap because my foot is buried in the floor trying to get the truck to move. I have almost been t-boned or rear-ended several times crossing streets and merging into traffic. This is dangerous and fca told me there isn't anything that can be done because the truck didn't show any error codes.
While driving, fuel gauge goes to empty, displays 0 miles to empty, check engine light comes on, and screen displays "fuel sensor fail".after about a minute the gauge will go back to the correct level as will the miles to empty, but the check engine light will remain on.this happens any time the vehicle does not have a completely full gas tank, but is also sporadic and doesn't happen all of the time.
In may 2018 fuel sensor fail i had to come out of my pocket to replace. I brought the truck landmark dodge in morrow ga. I only had it for a year, along with the fake warranty that turn out to be no good. I felt like they stole money from me they did not work for.now today i had to come out of my pocket again to pay for a bad tipm with a bad fuel pump relay. I thought that if i get the truck from the dealer, it would be a few years before start having problem with it. I email dodge support about the problem. I have not receive a email from other than they receive my complaint. Very poor customer service.
Check engine light came on while driving and message stated problem with fuel system sensor. Gas gauge would read empty even though there was fuel in the tank. Brought to dealer - technician verified code p0463 fuel level sensor circuit high; tested system and found faulty fuel pump module.the truck only has 32,224 miles but wasn't covered under warranty because it's over 3 years.cost for new fuel pump module was $456 plus $347 labor ($803 total).when reviewingcomplaints on this year truck/model other people had the same problem with this part shortly after the warranty expired.it would seem that this should not happen with such low mileage and in my case, since the truck has been properly maintained according to the manufacturer's recommendation.clearly there is a problem with faulty fuel pump modules in 2014 ram 1500 trucks.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. While driving at an undisclosed speed, the fuel gauge became inoperable. Additionally, the headlights failed on several occasions. The vehicle was taken to nye dodge jeep ram (1553 upper lenox ave, oneida, ny 13421, (315) 277-8955) to be diagnosed, but the mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 63,000.
High pressure fuel pump failure (cp4) caused a quoted $9500 repair bill.
Hi, (to chrysler)the facts:1.- my truck suffer of a delay when you try to start moving, from the moment that you press the gas pedal and the moment that the truck respond and start moving. I can say is about 1 to 2 seconds delay2.- the delay caused this week to be almost rolled over forincoming traffic. When you are at the very congested intersection and you need to get in to the incoming traffic fast this is not possible with this truck3.- the truck does not change gears when it is lacking of power, you can press the gas pedal for about one inch an it does not do anything.4.- again when you need to change lanes or you need to advance in a hill it does not happen. When you press the pedal you need to go all the way down for the truck to respond and when it happens it changes to a lower gear in such way that instead of having acceleration it is decelerating instead.5.- when you need to start moving the truck slowly to approach some hing it will not do that it will jump andat that point you are close to crash it on the thing that you are approaching6.-i gave you 2 months trying to become more familiar with the truck behavior, but what i found is that i can manually change the gears and make the truck to respond as a normal vehicle, changing gears gradually when it is losing powerif i can make the truck to change gears with out jumping 4 gears down why your computer is not capable of do it?i believe that is unacceptable.i pretty sure that the truck can have computer issues, or the gas pedal transmitter or the gas actuator have issues, or the computer program is not working as a planned, or transmission issuesi need your help solving these issuesthank you very much
Starting at about 30k the check engine light came on and the error code read po456 (small evap leak), dodge dealer (peterson ) stated that the computer was so sensitive that they (the dealer) could not detect such a small leak.. So i was told they changed out some common items that had known issues and it should be fix.. At about 37k same exact issue same exact error code same exact response from the dealer.. But this time i was told they just replaced the whole evap system and to make sure i don't overfill the fuel tank.... Now at 54k same exact issue same error po456 ..but now a much more noticeable heavy 'fuel' smell in the cab ' and i've been very careful not to 'overfill' the fuel tank'.best part dealer is saying sorry out of warranty..huh, that's convenient.
Diesel exhaust fluid (def wasn't mix with the fuel to make the truck run properly.truck won't stay start.when truck start only go 30mph.has been in shop 10 times since i purchased it in may 2015.it is in the shop with no eta on the part so i am in a renter since 6sept2016.the dealership only cover 5 days of renter. So i am responsible for the remain of renter until truck repaired and still making my truck payment of $613.00.one time i was on the highway and it just stop wouldn't start at all had to be tow to the shop.the rest of the stop and go was on streets.
After receiving v08/v11 aem update november 18th, 2020 i am experiencing an average of 5-6 mpg loss in fuel economy (16.4 mpg mixed - down from 21.5-22 mixed) as well as experience severe acceleration lag. In terms of highway mileage i am struggling to get 20 mpg.current ecm: 68306456aicurrent tcm: 68234053ahfollowing the v08 emissions recall, drivability has been seriously reduced and has created dangerous throttle lag and improper automatic transmission gear selection. I would summarize these issues as turbo lag and improper shift mapping.when accelerating from a complete stop there is a 2-3 second lag before the vehicle begins to move even if the throttle is fully depressed. If you are executing a right or left turn into traffic or crossing an intersection this will leave you exposed to a "t-bone" collision.this behavior is even more pronounced when the vehicle has not been run (cold engine). Climbing a moderate hill shortly after pulling out of my driveway forces the driver to manually downshift the automatic transmission to first gear to get any forward travel. Again, the vehicle will rapidly accelerate after the 2-3 second lag. Once returning to "drive" at 15-25 mph the transmission will up-shift several gears and then begin slowing, dropping engine rpm to 1,000, again forcing a manual down-shift to second or third gear to maintain speed. The engine produces almost no power until the engine reaches 2000 rpm.all of this behavior began after the noted recall. I have contacted a ram dealer regarding this performance and was told that this is a common complaint. They mentioned that the factory was aware of this but has no remedy available."
Fuel sensor has an error and reads empty when fuel level is less than 3/4 of a tank.the reading is correct between 3/4 and full but once the level drops below 3/4 it says fuel sensor fail and then reads empty.
Check engine light on with fuel system error warning. Had to replace fule pump assembly.
Fuel sensors shows low fuel shortly anfter filling up.system failure started around 60,000 miles.
While driving through west virginia, pulling my sailboat, i got a "check engine" light; as i was coming up to the beckley service area, i decided to stop, find an auto parts store and get the code read.just as i was entering the service area, i lost power, simultaneously having the dashboard flash a "tps sensor" warning, as i descended into the rest area, i realized that i had also lost my brakes (but not the trailer brakes) and then, while coasting into the parking lot, a wv turnpike pu pulled alongside with the driver gesticulating at me, yelling that i needed to get out of my truck, it was on fire. Immediately upon stopping, the front end became engulfed in flames, ultimately burning completely up.
Check engine light came on.that was 9/24/14.the check engine light has been through a myriad of "fixes".it is now 02/03/15 (5 1/2 months) - the check engine light is still on and the dealership has it in for "repair".the warranty requires that the vehicle not be driven when the check engine light is on, thus denying us of the regular use of the vehicle, which is critical in our cattle operation.the full nature of the complaint may be obtained by faxing or emailing a request to us.
1. Had to replace the exhaust sytem because the automatic exhaust stopped working after towing the truck to the dealer to create a forced regen 2. Replaced 2 turbos3. After emission recall was completed, engine was loosing antifreeze and overheated. Added antifreeze several times and then the engine started blowing white smoke, engine knocking like a loose crank or rocker arm truck lost complete power. The truck was delivered to ram dealer in riverhead, after spending 1600 dollars for engine diagnosis, which was clear apparent to anyone , the said engine was no good.
Fuel sensor failure at approximately 62,000 miles. At the time of occurrence the vehicle was in motion on a city street traveling at approximately 30 mph after completion of a turn. After research it was discovered to be a common problem in 2014 dodge ram 1500. On the date of 2/17/2020 the vehicle was taken to the dealer from which it was bought and problem was explained, dealer advised a $600+ charge to repair said densor
At approximately 60,000 miles the fuel gage became erratic and the check engine light came on and has been on since.the trouble message system indicates a fuel level sensor fail. I researched this issue and a lot of other ram owners indicate this problem.it is an expensive repair requiring the bed to be removed (cost to repair near $1000).this is also a safety issue due to potentially running out of gas while traveling unless the owner is diligent about tracking mileage and filling up each time the milage reaches 275 miles.
Ecodiesel-post epa required repairs- turbo lag / delayed acceleration.up to a two second time delay before vehicle will proceed upon full throttle demand to merge into traffic or from a stop sign or needing to pass a vehicle at highway speeds.. The delay will cause an accident to occur.prior to the epa repairs, vehicle did not have any turbo lag/acceleration issues.one could accelerate with full, partial or minimal throttle and have confidence in the vehicle performing as needed.discussed this problem with local ram dealer, they stated there is no current fix being considered by fca.this is a real safety issue with vehicles being involved in accidents as the vehicle thinks about accelerating. Please advise if there are any known remedies for this software issue?thank you in advance for your consideration.fortunately no bent sheet metal yet.
2014 ecodiesel received an update / reprogramming of engine control unit (ecu) and now has serious drivability issues, especially when cold. Throttle response is delayed and, if trying to pull into traffic, is dangerous due to the delay in throttle response. In addition to drivability issues, the fuel mileage has decreased significantly, probably 20%.
Fuel leak at inside bend of metal fuel line. Factory defect. Fuel leak at several injectors whee it meets manifold. Glow plug module and glow plugs constantly failing. Water pump leak and replaced. Air suspension inoperable. Vehicle well maintained and only 32,000 miles
The front fuel strap broke free from it's connection point to the frame, letting the front of the fuel tank sag towards the ground. It appears the connection slot on the frame has corroded and the strap pulled free from the connection slot on the frame. The issue could have been a lot worse if i had been traveling on the freeway buy luckily it broke on a residential street. The problem has been known to be found in 09-12 ram pickups. No current recalls for a 2014. A local dealership will be looking at it on friday june 18th. The truck can be available to inspect but i currently have no other means of transportstion, so i plan on getting the strap fixed asap. There were no warning lights or any other indication of the strap failing prior to it coming free. I heard an odd humming/vibrating noise, initially thought it was an issue with the tires, but when i pulled over on the side of the road to inspect what was making the noise, i found the tank sagging and the front strap was no longer supporting it. I was able to get underneath the truck and verify that the strap was no longer attached to the frame, the fuel tank is temporarily being supported by a ratchet strap that i installed myself.
I have had multiple check engine lights come on stating that there was high voltage on the fuel sensor as well as had my fuel gauge stop working and my cluster read fuel sensor fail. The dealership said it was a dead spot in the fuel level sensor and the pump had to be replaced but won't cover it under warranty. This happens now every time my fuel gauge gets to 1/2 a tank and goes off when i get under a 1/4 tank
Fuel sensor failure is a common failure with dodge ram trucks. Dodge ram is very much aware of this defective part that is a monetary burden to the consumer of this truck. Once it comes on in the instrument panel you have no idea of your fuel level. Proof needed just type in 2014 dodge ram fuel sensor failure in your search engine on your computer!! only occurs while engine is running. Replaced at 151,880 miles and now at 162,000 it's gone bad again. Problem first appeared at 40,000 miles and i believe dealership service replaced sensor on one of my service visits and didn't tell me because i didn't have problem again until 151,880 miles. I was having other issues at time and i think they thought this would shut me up !!
Fuel sensor failure at 45,000 miles. Same complaint as so many others. Full tank will display as full on gauge. After only 20-30 miles the gauge drops to empty and i have no idea how much fuel is in the tank until i'm stranded on the side of the road. Must watch odometer and hope i make it to fill the tank without any mistakes.
Fuel sensor failure. Gas gauge shows empty all the time. Check engine light is on as well as "fuel sensor failure" light. This is very common in these ram trucks. It happened the first time to me while driving. There was a warning bell, then the fuel sensor failure light came on with the engine light,and then gas gauge dropped to dead empty. Has remained there since
I was accelerating my truck on a city street at approximately 45 mph. The power control module, battery control module, crank position sensor, tone wheel and power steer control module all failed at the same time. The truck shut down and had to be towed into the dealer.
The fuel sensor fails causing the cruise control not to work and my gas gauge drops to empty.this can happen upon starting my truck or driving down the freeway at 75 mph.
My truck continues to light up saying that the fuel cap is loose. I believe that there was a former recall about a crack and engine coolant gas getting into the system, and this was never fixed properly.also, the airbag light continues to come on, and there was a former recall about that and it was never fixed.these are all while stationary.
This is a known issue that is all over the internet. I believe it starts with the 2009 model year to the 2018 model year. Ram forums have shown that owners have had this issue begin from 20k miles and up from there. The issue is the fuel gauge would stop functioning and read empty. Causing the check engine light to come on which cause the vehicle to no longer operate in eco ( describe 4 cylinders for better fuel economy)mode untill the issue is resolved. Some owners as well as my self have had the vehicle stall out, forcing me to navigate to the shoulder before attempting to restart the vehicle. Usually starts right up and the check engine will remain on. With my vehicle if the tank is full the guest works and i do not have a problem untill 40-60 miles into driving where the check engine light would come back on and at times causing the stall. Other owners have reported that the guage does not work 100% of the time. There is a big number of owners who have just gotten it fixed but most just live with the issue since it's not causing a stall. I cannot stress the importance of a recall on these rams for the people that are dealing with the issue . And the number of un reported claims to your agency. Please look into this for the many owners who have failed to report to you this ongoing problem that the dealerships and fiat is well aware of. They have even advised people that the nhtsa issues recalls not the company. Just seems like they are waiting for your agency to issue one.thank you for your time and for the organization you work for.
Fuel sensor is wrecked at under 50k miles. The fuel gauge will suddenly go to 0 with check engine light on immediately after last gas fill. This is a known issue for rams, faulty product by faulty manufacturing.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. While driving 20 mph, the vehicle stalled. The contact lifted the hood and noticed that the fuel line leaked fuel onto the engine profusely. The vehicle was towed to a dealer and repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The vin was invalid. The failure mileage was 21,165.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. After filling the fuel tank and starting the vehicle, the check engine warning indicator illuminated and the fuel indicator read that there was no fuel in the tank. The contact took the vehicle to jt's dodgeland of columbia (located at 190 greystone blvd, columbia, sc 29210, 803-832-1255) who stated that the fuel relay sensor failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to nhtsa. The approximate failure mileage was 56,000.
Fuel gauge drops to empty shortly after filling up.this can cause safety issues if the vehicle runs out of gas and leaves the driver stranded as there is no way to know how much fuel is left in the tank.this is a major problem with ram trucks and a quick google search shows countless people that have or are experiencing the same issue.out of all of my years driving, i've never known of a single vehicle with this many failures of this type.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. While driving various speeds, the fuel gauge would register empty, even with a full tank of fuel. In addition, the check engine and fuel sensor failure indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer in chantilly, virginia where it was recommended that the fuel pump be removed for inspection. The failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 37,000. *ln
The exhaust manifold continues to leak. I believe it has to do with the exhaust manifold bracket bolts that break. Ram continues to repair with the same poor quality parts.
After having the aem update completed, i lost 5mpg in fuel economy (from 23 mpg combined, to 18 mpg combined), i also am experiencing an incredibly unsafe amount of acceleration lag (4-6 seconds). When pulling into traffic travelling at 40+mph, this lag in acceleration causes me to roll into traffic with no power or ability to accelerate until the engine decides to kick in.this lag in acceleration is the biggest concern as the duration of lag is inconsistent and unpredictable. I do not feel safe in this vehicle and am not confident in it's performance anymore. I, like many other owners would like to get rid of this truck. I think fca should take bake the truck becuase it has become a financial/safety nightmare. As of january 2019, i have spent over $7000 on the exhaust system prior to the aem update coming out (egr cooler clogged, turbo hoses bad, etc.) luckliy, i just had the egr cooler replaced under the new warranty but the drivability (good fuel economy and power) is no longer present. If this truck functioned like this when i first test drove it, i would never have bought it.
I have a 2014 ram ecodiesel and recently got the aem update. Now when the vehicle hasn't started for 24 hours, there is no acceleration upon start-up. By that i mean you press on the gas pedal and nothing happens for up to 3 seconds. Then it is very sluggish. So it is very dangerous to pull out in traffic. This last for up to 5 minutes after start-up. This happens on every start-up when cold.
Bought truck 4 months ago, has been broke down now as of today 5 times. This truck has lost fuel mileage, power, and has almost cost lives, when you push on the gas, nothing, after a few seconds it will go, this is extremely dangerous, i have been in front of a semi moving wind turbines and almost killed,this truck has been towed several times, in the shop broke down all after recall, this truck will cost lives, i have tried contacting several people,i get nothing, my next move is going to show videos and updated incidents, and information on all steps, last response was my case has been closed,people need to know the action taken on this and the lives affected. The most recent action was a couple weeks ago, i am a pilot escort for ge wind industry,i was needed to stop traffic to keep public safe, when i'm needed to jump into action this truck fails, i need a replacement immediately,i was almost driven right into my driver side door by a 138 thousand pond tower section due to lag time, this truck is powerless, after recall my mileage went from the upper 30's to teens, it's been in shop every month i have owned it, currently waiting on a cooling system, on back order, i have owned this truck for 5 months, i have lost over 1000,000 in revenue, almost killed and killing others, i am losing my business now, i'm in succ a hole nothing will help me unless this truck is replaced immediately, this truck is extremely dangerous, i have nothing left, i need a truck that will simply work, i need to rebuild
Had aem flash caused 10-15% mpg loss as well as throttle lag,loss of accelerationfca said there would be no changein performance or mpg
The fuel sensor fails and causes the driver to run out of gas while in traffic. The gas gauge only works when the tanks is extremely full once the truck has been driven for five miles it goes the gauge reads empty and the check engine light comes on. As a result there is no way to determine how much fuel is left in the tank.
Error code p0463: fuel level sensor circuit high input, this means my fuel gauge is experiencing failures and i can not accurately determine how much fuel is in the vehicle. Doing a quick google search, this appears to be a very common issue with the 2014 ram 1500 5.7l. I'm at roughly 68500 mile on my truck so the issue is also out of warranty.
Fuel sensor failure check engine light comes and goes which causes the fuel gauge to stop working. Not under warranty but a know problem. Why has this not been addressed when it is a obvious problem.
Started the truck, received check engine light and fuel sensor failure flashed across screen. While driving vehicle to dealership there would be a notification noise then gas gauge would drop to empty causing vehicle to act as if it had no fuel. Dealershipfound p0463 (fuel lever sensor circuit) and recommended fuel pump sender be replaced.
Engine light on, diagnostic reading: cylinder 6 misfire detected. Random/multiple misfire detected. Number 6 cylinder has a high count of no compression. The engine light stays on stationary and in motion.
Fuel gauge stopped working suddenly and without warning while stopped at a red light. This resulted in the activation of the malfunction indicator lamp and low fuel message. This is a known problem that fca is well aware of with thousands of reported cases online.
Fuel pump sensor is no longer working. Truck has 95k miles on it and hasn't been working for the past 500 miles or so. Check engine light has come on and also my fuel gauge comes on and off constantly. I was driving home from grocery store and check engine light came on. Checked at local auto store and said i had a fuel pump that had gone bad.*dt
The sensor on the def tank in the ram 1500 ecodisels is failing. Instead of being able to buy a sensor to replace it ram is making you buy a whole tank to replace the sensor. This has happened to multiple people that i know of and ram still refuses to stand behind their product.
There is a disturbing trend among automakers to eliminate dipsticks from their transmissions. This can be potentially dangerous. I purchased my 2014 ram 1500 new late last year. Returning on a road trip to new jersey last month the transmission jerked horribly. Once back home i promptly took it to the dealer for service. They reprogrammed the shift points and it worked smoothly for a few weeks. Then it started slipping at 10 mph. I brought it back to the dealership. They checked the fluid level from the fill port on the bottom of the pan and discovered it was a quart low from the factory. This is a terrible design and forces owners into three options ; 1. Ignore their transmission.2. Have to take it to an expensive mechanic or the dealer. 3.this is where it can get dangerous, get underneath their vehicle with the engine running to get the fluid to the necessary temperature to accurately check it. Hundreds of thousands of shade tree mechanics will endanger their lives to check their fluid levels. Ford has a similarly flawed design on its pick up trucks as well. Had i known about this before i bought the truck i would have gone for the chevrolet with the conventional dip stick set up. The main reason i bought the ram was for its highway cruising range. I covered 750 miles on a single tank ( 32 gallons ). However there is more to the ownership experience than that. Being able to check simple things like fluid levels before, during, and after a cross country road trip and just around town is very important. With all the volumes of motor vehicle regulations on the books i don't know how this design was allowed to go into production. Also, the rotary shift knob on these 8 speed transmissions seems like a fatality waiting to happen.also, the transmission pan is constructed of plastic with the filter built in to the pan.
The contact owns a 2014 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle leaked fuel. In addition, the steering wheel and brakes failed, and the instrument panel lighting illuminated. The failure recurred three times. While driving 40 mph, the contact crashed into a tree and the air bags did not deploy. The contact sustained stomach injuries that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an impound lot. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the wrong fuel adapter was installed in the vehicle and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 12,000.
Fuel gauge miss reads, common problem in rams. Fuel level not known. 15k mile 2014 ram 1500.
Recall for emissions not performed correctly. Engine light comes on all the time.warning flashes on dash : "engine will not restart in 200 mi service def see dealer."started at 5000 miles and has plagued the truck every since then.ram was supposed to fix and reimburse under recent recall and extended warranty settlement.i have documented, written, called, emailed, and faxed to the ram manufacturer. I get no response whatsoever.recall done on 7/11/19 and on 10/08/19 i still don't have it fixed.file to thick to up load.
Engine light on due to low fuel sensor bad. When the gas tank reaches a certain levelthe gas gauge goes to e.
The check engine light came on over the last 4 months.during this time the light has gone off and on numerous times.just two weeks ago a fuel sensor failure displayed on the dash.the fuel gauge dropped to empty and the remaining miles until empty shows as low miles.the fuel sensor failure goes off and on depending on the amount of fuel in the tank but the check engine stays on now.i have read numerous reviews on the ram 1500 from 2012 through 2016 having the same issues.most of these people have had to replace the fuel pump with fairly low miles on their vehicles.
The inline fuel system is incorrect and the electrical should not be in the tank!there should be filter at the neck then there should be a screen at the bottom of the tank where the outlet is then there should be a hose to the fuel filter and then from the fuel filter there should be an electrical pump the electrical pump should never be in the fuel tank and the electrical fuel pump is in the fuel tank which can cause i major fire!all vehicles have this problem and need to be fixed!
Fuel sensor fail - reads only up to a half a tank or more, once below the sensor reads tank as empty.
Vehicle fuel gage goes from full to empty once the gage reaches half a tank while driving.vehicle is out of warranty with 69,000 miles and display reads fuel system failure engine the service light is on and vechicle eco mode will not operate. I proceeds to file a complaint with fiat chrysler autombiles on february 18 2019 case # 58020421 and was directed by them to take it to an fca certified dealership to diagnose the problem and call fca back with the results. The diagnotics should an active fault in the fuel sending unit and fcas responce back wassince the vehicle is out of warranty i would have to pay for all the repairs. My main complaint is this is a reaccuring problem with their fuel sending units with many ram owners and all fca will tell you is take it to your dealership. $476.00 later they replaced the old sending unit with the same oem part number that i believe is a faulty part and they will only warranty this part got 2 years.fca needs to address this issue and if the company feels that it is not a safety issue and will not cover the cost of relacement that needs to be expressed to the customer when filing a complaint with them.
Truck made a loud pinging noise, while driving on a county road, truck appeared to catch fire, cab filled up with black smoke with soot with a burning smell which caused the truck to shut down. Threw a code of low pressure fuel and engine light on.had towed to nearest dealership, which could not pull up codes thrown.changed fuel filter.couple months later, while driving on a county road, truck threw code electronic ignition throttle control, could not get any pressure, smoking under hood and from behind. Appeared to have caught fire again but truck did not shut down as in 1st situation.had towed to nearest dealership.has been there now for 14 days. Having to replace egr cooler and intake manifold along with a lot of seals as i learned they are plastic and melted due to fire twice.why would dodge make any intake especially on an eco diesel plastic? sounds like asking for a fire according to the dealership.also too...these parts being replaced and being covered under my extended warranty are also part of the "eco diesel settlement" settled on may 3rd, 3019 which my truck was towed on may 2, which in this settlement they awarded an extended warranty on the exact parts being replaced. I currently have no pics or documents as truck is still currently at dealership being worked on as i was told they have never seen this before and this is a very complicated task to repair.
Fuel sensor failure.
Driving along at highway speeds, the "throttle control sensor" light comes on for a quick second, then goes off, and "enginge light" goes on.withing seconds, the truck loses power, giving you little to no time to prepare and react.it has happened in l.a. On frwy with loads of traffic, it's so dangerous trying to get over to the side without being killed!it has happened 2 tiimes while in tow mode pulling trailers, again so dangerous when suddenly you have no power.once while pulling horses in the trailer, on an up-hill, with cars behind me and no where to pull over (no shoulder).so unsafe, i was badly shaken over that one with my horsesin tow.so this has happened 4 times to us, dodge has had in shop 4 times and cannot fix.it is terrifing to be going along and have your power cut in a moments time, and be in "limp mode".we can no longer trust this truck.so dangerous
On 11/22/17 at around 5pm driving east bound on i-76 in pennsylvania our 2014 ram 1500 ecodiesel engine caught on fire.as i tried to stop i realized i had no brakes.we slowed to a stop as we started up a hill, i put it in park and we all got out just in time.a certified chrysler mechanic had just 2 days earlier finished installing a new engine.both the dealership & chrysler have denied all ownership and no root cause evaluation has been completed.i believe a fuel line failed due to faulty workmanship, but without a third party independent investigation i guess we will never know and some other customer may experience the same thing.
Was advised to take truck in for recall reflash due to eco diesel settlement package. After recall fix was conducted, engine sluggish, shifting not smooth and miles per gallon dropped significantly. All this after a trip of 8 hours at legal speed limits.
After the mandatory emissions update on my ecodiesel i am going to get seriously hurt trying to get out in to traffic at a stop light or sign.there is serious lag in the throttle response and sometimes no response at all.how can something that was supposed to make us safer leave us so very vulnerable.please, please, please for a fix to this issue.also the update was not supposed to cause a change in fuel economy or the way our vehicles run.it is horrible.it's bad enough that the fuel economy is so drastically reduced, but seriously this is a huge safety hazard.every time that i am at a stop and then push on my throttle i have no idea if the pickup is going to respond or not.numerous times i have been stalled out with traffic coming at me both ways.it is an extremely frightening experience.worse, i am considering an after market "tune" as are 1000's of others.this is not the answer to this widespread problem.please make dodge fix this terrible safety issue.how many preventable crashes will there have to be?
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving, the fuel tank showed empty, even while the fuel tank was full. The contact stated that the fuel gauge was inoperable. The fuel sensor failed which recorded the fuel level as empty. The dealer was not called. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 115,500.
The v08 emission recall has despite what the manufacturer claims decreased my mpg, increased turbo lag, made it unsafe to drive due to literally slower than acceptable throttle response, and daily diesel regeneration. All before this flash to the ecu there where no problems. But since it is a ticking time bomb just waiting for for me to get t-boned at an intersection for the delayed acceleration.
At 38000 miles the engine light came on and reported a "fuel sensor failure". Gas guage reads empty.
You will be driving up an incline, not a steep on . The engine starts missing like it needs a tune up. It'a noticeable miss. We have another problem with the dash screen. The screen in the middle that tells you your mileage. It will start going in and out. Mostly, it blacks out. We have mentioned this to dodge garage and they tweeked the screen but, it still does it, they also, tweeked the engine. Theyn still do the same thing. I,m worried that we'll be going down the road and the truck will suddenly stop in the middle of the road.
The fuel sensor gauge is defective. I have 54,000 miles on the truck and it's only 6 years old. The gas hand won't work either.
The fuel level sensor constantly goes in and out on this vehicle leaving the gas gauge inoperable leaving drivers guessing how much fuel is actually in the tank. When tank is completely full the gauge works fine as soon as the needle starts to move from full the vehicle chimes and the service engine light comes on the gas gauge instantly drops to empty and the dash reads fuel level sensor fail this is know to be a wide spread issue with fca and they have done nothing to remedy the proplem
While driving i had a sudden failure of the fuel level sensor unit along with a check engine light.the fuel level sensor caused the fuel gauge to drop to empty immediately and the dte estimate to show low fuel.when new unit was picked up from the dealership i was advised that he had been selling a large amount of the specific part and to hold onto my receipt since it had a 2 year warranty.
Constant issue with the fuel sensor fail, i've had 4 fuel pumps put on the truck in the six years i've had it. At one point the dealer had my truck for a month trying to fix. I just changed the fuel pump last week, picked it up friday and the engine light is back on today. It's a defect with the fuel pump assembly that chrysler refuses to recall. The engine light has come on while driving on the highway and idle at a traffic light.i'm not the only owner with issue it's countless others, that's how i found my way to make a complaint.
My vehicle lost signal from the fuel level sensor in the gas tank. The sensor now only works when the tank is between full and 3/4 full.it is now unsafe to drive as you don't know how far you can travel before running out of fuel. This is a known issue with this type of vehicle. People could become stranded in a desolate area or under adverse weather conditions and not be able to get help.
Dpf/def systems causing engine failure. Leveling sensor inside of the d.e.f tank isn't reponding and causing truck to run bad and causing truck to go into limp mode. And there should be a recall on the dpf system
Fuel level sending unit stopped working. Reads empty. Appears to be a very common issue.
Fuel pump sensor failed. Replaced the part, bought from the dealership. Installed and worked for two days before the sensor again failed. When the fuel tank is filled the gauge does not sense any fuel in the car. Also the car's computer system fails to tell you which part is in failure- the brake light indicator went on for the passenger side brake light, it wasactually the brake light on the cab that was out.
2014 ram ecodiesel. Had the emissions update done per the fca class action lawsuit requirements. After the update, my truck has an extremely dangerous turbo/throttle lag. This lag can last anywhere from 2-5 seconds. Additionally, the truck was advertised as 29 mpg on the highway. After the update, i am sitting around 17 mpg. I have lodged a complaint with fca and am still waiting to hear back. This is no longer an emissions issue, this is a safety issue and i can guarantee you it will lead to numerous accidents and possibly death. A simple google search will show that this issue is not unique to my ecodiesel. Almost every ram and jeep that had the emissions update is dealing with the same safety risks.
I have a recurring issue with rodents chewing through the fuel line on my 2014 ram 1500. This has happened 3 times since december, 2016 and is a very dangerous issue that chrysler is aware of. The fuel line, according to multiple techs and representatives who have worked on my truck, has connections made of a "soy-based" product which is attractive to rodents. When the lines get chewed through, the fuel begins to leak very quickly while i have been in motion on public streets. One of the three times, my rear tires actually lost traction completely causing me to briefly lose control of my truck. The amount of fuel that leaks is significant, usually emptying my tank from nearly full to empty in seconds. I have had to have the fire department respond before the truck could be towed due to the significant fire hazard this posses. If there were to be an ignition source of any kind, the truck would catch fire and possibly cause significant harm to myself or others. I have brought this to chrysler/ram's attention and they have made no effort to have this issue resolved, although they acknowledged the danger involved with this problem. The reps i have dealt with explained that this fuel line is made with soy to make the part "eco-friendly". The repair is costly and, according to the repairing dealership, can only be made using the same flawed "soy-based" fuel lines. I have attached pictures showing the chewed connections as well as invoices for the three repairs i have had made. Other car companies have class action suits for soy-based wiring harnesses and fuel lines, so i do not know why this has not been recalled with the ram trucks. I would like this issue resolved as this could be very dangerous and would only be a matter of time before someone is seriously injured from this design flaw. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
Fuel gage drops to empty and causes check engine light to come on.it happens upon starting the vehicle or when driving.
My 2014 ram 1500 had to have its def (diesel exhaust fluid) tank replaced. I was told since it is an emissions component it is not under warranty. It cost over $2000 to replace this tank only because the sending unit was inoperable. The sending unit is integral to the tank so you could not replace the sending unit. The sending unit would not register a full tank. When the unit indicated the tank was empty (when it was not) the vehicle is required to go into limp mode(3-5mph). This could be very dangerous when driving long distances in remote areas.
Driving on hwy 17 down a ramp, throttle sensor light came on and truck stalled out. Restarted truck to pull off hwy/ramp to safer location, noticed thick bl smoke billowing out from under hood. Pulled into parking lot, lifted hood to see flames coming off engine. Bystander called 911 while i got a bucket of water. Threw bucket of water onto engine while police and fire dept finished extinguishing. Fire dept stated they have seen a few eco fires. Towed to hendrick's, contacted ram. Ram stated no need to contact ins co (they will handle it). Thought this was strange, contacted ins co anyways. Inspected by 2 fire specialists, ins co and ram. Ins co stated manufact defect, ram stated leaky injector (which were replaced by ram 18k mi prior at dealership). I sustained smoke inhalation and 1st degree burns to face,neck,lt arm and had/have headaches. Truck was still under 100k warranty with only 40k. Ram denied opened claim and warranty. Ins co totaled truck out, they still have an open claim against ram. Additionally ram denying my emissions settlement of 3k only offering 900 (stating emissions work couldn't be done due to fire classifying me as a previous owner although i was current owner even at that time). I still haven't settled emissions. Recently ram has recalled all 108k eco-diesels 2014-19 for fire hazard. My truck fits the description for what happens and always needed a little coolant with maint, insp, oil changes. I paid off my truck before, and now have a payment with what i consider a lesser truck. When i call fca and give my info they often hang up, act like they cant hear me, or state they are transferring me to manager (hanging up on me). Also stating someone will get back to me, but never any returned call (supposed to get a call tomorrow, will see).
Was traveling down i485 in charlotte nc. Going to beach. An all of a suddenthe truck has no power.i have no pedal it is gone . Had to get it off the side of the road an stoppedwith white smoke coming out the tail pipes . It was the fuel pump.that time . Nexted time it was the edge valve an sencer . Had no pick up an go .every since the v08 tune this truck has bad lag lag u can not sure when u r pulling out of an interceptionif u will get out safe . The lag is terrible.i loved this truck untill the tune . But now cant trust it. Got ot to pull camper but dont trust it nowwill not own another rameco or any thing else .
I was driving my truck on highway with my 12 and 3 yr old daughters. When suddenly the car stopped accelerating. I was able to pull to the side of the road. Turned the truck off then restarted the truck check engine light came on with a fuel sensor module warning. This happened. Before when the truck had about 27000 miles and it was fixed while in warranty. Had to replace fuel pump and fuel sensor module the truck now has 69971 miles. Someone is going to get hurt if these things keep happening
I was driving on a highway and my engine light came on, followed by my fuel sensor failing and saying that my gas tank was empty even though i had 3/4 of a tank. Now, my engine light is always on, but the fuel sensor works as long as my tank is completely full. After driving about 20 miles post-fill up, the fuel sensor stops working and reads on empty. This is a safety hazard because i can't tell how much gas is in my vehicle unless it's completely full. After doing some research online, this is a very common problem with this line of ram trucks.
Major fuel system leak due to fuel line failure.this is the second time such a failure has occurred and is a potential fire hazard as the leak resulted in fuel running down back of engine near turbo and catalyst.
My vehicle has tremendous lag when trying to accelerate, but it is not all the time. I never know when pulling out into a road at a left hand turn if i am going to get throttle response or a dead petal. Too many times not i have been stuck with tremendous lag and almost rear ended by vehicles while turning onto a road. This was never an issue until a forced "fix" for a recall on the ecodiesel engine. Upon initial acceleration sometimes there is a 1-2 second lag before the vehicle even seems to accelerate at all. My mile per gallon has dropped several points and def is being over consumed. I do not know when the truck will accelerate or just lag out on me. I do not know if this is a motor or transmission or none of the above issue. I do know that many people with the "aem fix" for the recalled rams is having the same issues. This vehicle does not seem safe to drive to to its unpredictability with acceleration. From a cold start, the vehicle is extremely sluggish for several minutes or miles, and that is in the warm ca sun.... I am waiting for the vehicle to not work at all. This has been ongoing for several months since having the vehicle "fixed"
Fuel gauge failure. Upon research this so a very common issue. When fuel gauge reaches 1/2 tank, it will flash empty and fuel level low. Also forces check engineer light on.
I heard a notification tone and looked saw the check engine light come on and the fuel gauge dropped to e and then warning flashed "fuel sensor fail". I can not be the only one that has reported this cause if you just google "fuel sensor fail" no brand vehicle mentioned in the searched everything and countless stories come up about people with 4th gen ram with this problem. Ram is totally annoying this part they put on their trucks that are doomed to fail. Im hoping maybe you can help make them put a recall out on this. Thank you for your time.
The fuel gauge stopped working and the check engine light came on at 49k miles on my 2014 ram truck. After doing research online, it's a very common problem. Most comments say around 35k to 60k miles on ram trucks, the check engine light will come on and the fuel gauge drops to zero. At most mechanic shops, the price is around $800 for the repair. The repair consists of two options.... 1) drop the fuel tank from under the truck and replace the fuel pump w/fuel sensor.2) unbolt the bed and back bumper in order to raise the bed completely and replace the fuel pump w/fuel sensor. This is a minor issue and happening all of the time. It's very expensive and this may have to me done every 50k miles or so.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. When the vehicle was started, an audible chime was heard and the fuel level warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. Country truck & auto (13042 county rd 20, fort lupton, co 80621, (303) 857-1281) was contacted and an appointment was scheduled. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 104,000.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle fuel sender unit failed to indicate the fuel level in the vehicle as the check engine warning light illuminated. The dealer (clovis chrysler dodge jeep ram395 west herndon ave, clovis, ca 93612 (888) 696-0723) was contacted and informed of the failure. The contact was informed that the vin was not subjected to a recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.
Fca aem recall. Since getting the emissions recall done the truck no longer responds like it did. It is a life safety issue. The update has mad the truck very sluggish to the point it feels like it is going to stall when trying to start from a stop or merging into traffic on the highway. I have also lost 5-6 mpg since the update and will no long let my wife drive it to do lack of power to even get moving.
The vehicle had a bad egrcooler that caused the coolant to enter the combustion system causing excess overheating of the exhaust melting several exhaust components. It was hit enough to potential cause a fire.
Upon fueling vehicle to the full position after running for a short period of time and engine light came on it's believed that the float within the gas tank has a wear spot on the system. After fuel level gets to the three-quarter full position engine light goes out.
I have 2 issues to report on this vehicle1) the truck has left us stranded twice and required a ride on a roll back (who knew a little 1/2 ton pickup is too big for most tow trucks).in both cases we had stopped at a traffic light on a slight incline or decline.then when the light turned we made a right or left turn into a decline or incline and stalled out.the first time it happened i thought it was a clogged fuel filter, but didn't think to try priming the fuel system and restarting before replacing the filter.the next time it happened approximately 1000 miles later i poured 5 gallons of diesel in, primed the fuel system and it restarted.i then filled the tank and realized that there was about 5 gallons left when it stalled.this caused me to believe that the fuel was sloshing around the pump in scenarios as described.we later realized that the fuel gauge does not drop below a 1/4 tank and no low fuel lights appear.the truck was later diagnosed as having a faulting fuel sending unit.2) the second issue is at 51k miles we had a major def emission system failure.the first event provided 500 miles of warning before the truck would not restart.it cost $2855 to replace a fault def tank/sensor.the second time only 1000 miles later we only had 200 miles warning and cost $716 to replace a nox sensor and module.in both cases we drove the trk to a dealer, but both dealerships refused to cover it under the 96month/80,000 mile "major emission comp warranty."i've have reported both issue to fca via their website.nhtas/odi has my permission to release my name and contact information to fca to discuss specifics of this issue.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. While driving at an unknown speed, the low fuel indicator illuminated despite the fact that the contact had just filled his vehicle with fuel the previous day. The contact filled the vehicle with a low amount of fuel and the indicator turned off. The contact stated that the fuel indicator illuminated again while on a trip when the fuel level was at 3/4 fuel capacity. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 59,500. Consumer stated he is having issues with check engine lights and shuts down after 1/2 minute, after reporting to nhtsa.
Last year they did an emissions update on my truck. Since then there is terrible accelerator pedal lag. I already had a dozen or more close calls when trying to pull into traffic. It takes literally 2-3 seconds after i press the accelerator for the truck to start moving. It makes driving the truck dangerous in high traffic areas.
Mopar fuel sensor /pump giving incorrect reads to the gauge. Causing check engine light and also not able to get an accurrate reading of fuel level
The gas gauge goes to zero and gas light comes on when the gas tank gets below 3/4 tank full, and engine light comes on.this happens when driving, or just sitting in driveway.
Fuel sensor failed at 61k miles.eco mode not available, unknown amount of fuel in tank creates a driving hazard regarding running out of fuel.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. Immediately after shifting the vehicle into drive, the check engine indicator illuminated and a "fuel pump sensor failure" message appeared as the fuel gauge failed to function. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump sensor failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer stated that since the contact did not have an established relationship with the dealer/manufacturer, they could not assist. The approximate failure mileage was 42,800.
My stock driveshaft is rubbing into my stock gas tank. I believe to be the case on all 2014 regular cab 1500 with the 3.92 rear end. The key here is the 3.92 rear end on this truck. They used an oversize adapter plate the mount the drive shaft and there is not enough clearance when turning left and the bed rolls. I have gauge marks in my tank and fca is refusing to look at the evidence even though a ram dealer pointed it out to me.
Fuel sending unit malfunctions causing the fuel gauge to go to empty and back to full
Fuel gauge shows empty when the tank is full
Since i purchased my ram, the check engine light comes on and off as if pleases and randomly it will tell me fuel sensor fail. This comes on and offrandomly but lately it happens at least once a trip.
While driving, fuel sensor fail notice displayed on dash and fuel gauge dropped to empty.33,000 miles on 2014 ram 1500. This is a common problem with faulty fuel sending unit resistance unit. Dealer wants $800 to fix.
The inline fuel pump system is incorrect it has electrical inside the fuel tank there should be a screen at the neck of the fuel tank then there should be a screen at the bottom of the fuel tank by the outlet at the bottom of fuel tank then a hose to the fuel filter then there should be a fuel pump then the lines fuel lines to engine!because the electrical is in the tank it will cause a fire!to fix the problem with the float to keep the electrical out of the fuel tank on the fuel gauge you should put the electrical lines at the top of the tank with a rheostat then have the float turn as it increases or decreases which turns the rheostat and sends the signal 2 the gauge so all of the electrical is out of the tank this is the safest!
At about 49,000 miles the "check engine" light came on. After driving for several days the light would turn off on its own while the engine was off. I thought that it may been the gas cap, so i replaced it. Then, while driving, the "check engine" light turned on again, intermittently while driving. I had it checked by o' reillys and they said it was the fuel system, po463=26391451. When i turned on the engine, the check engine light was not on. After several weeks i noticed that when my gas was less than 3/4 full the check engine light turned on again, while driving. My gas gauge and mile range dropped to zero. When i filled the gas tank the gauge went back to full with the number of mile range. Again, when the gas was about 3/4, the gauge dropped off.the check engine light has now remained on constantly.
2014 ram pickup with 68k miles.driving with 3/4 tank of gas on a freeway at 65 mph and the fuel gauge went to e and the check engine light came on.then a fuel level sensor fail warning popped up. Called dealership, said it was a known problem and they replace a lot of these a month, ballparked cost to be around $1,000.spoke to several local mechanics that said the exact same thing, known problem with the sensor that requires the tank to be dropped to fix.when tank is full, truck functions fine.once tank drops to approx. 3/4 of a tank, everything comes back (check engine light, fuel level sensor fail).chrysler cannot be putting inferior parts on their vehicles and expect consumers to pay for their greed.
Less than 100k miles, 4 issues started, 1-fuel level sensor 2- service trailer brake system 3- anti lock brakes system- cruse control does not work.
I was driving and the warning light came on for 50 miles until empty, it wasn't empty i just fueled up the day before, then the check engine light came on and my gas gauge went to empty....then it read fuel sensor so i topped it off, it took 8 gallons...the fuel sensor light went off but the check engine light stayed on......now the gauges don't work at all.....
Takata recall.i have a 2014 ram 1500 and the fuel sensor went out on it with only 18000 miles. Unfortunately it was past the 3 year warranty coverage so it's not covered by the dealership.upon research, i have learned this is a common issue reported by many ram owners. I feel that this is a manufacturer defect and i feel it is a a safety threat since you don't know how much gas is in your vehicle.this could lead the driver to being stranded on the side of the road and unsafe.i would like to see that this gets turned into a recall.i refuse to pay over $1000 to have this repaired just so chrysler can make more money on non-reliable equipment. The vehicle can either be stationary or in motion when the fuel sensor has failed.
After the v08 update very bad lag from the pedal and gas mileage dropped very significantly.
Whenever i go to fill the fuel tank with gas the fuel nozzle gets stuck on the filler neck and is really hard to get off, i usually have to hold the vapor system cap that is on the nozzle in so it will dispense fuel and not lock on filler neck, i have read this was an issue with 2015 model but mine is a 2014 and i cant even let my wife or daughter fill truck with gas because they cant remove from filler neck.
There is a faint propane-like smell coming through the air vents when truck is at idle.
This seems to be a common issue with 2014 ram trucks. The fuel sending unit will go out send an eml code and the fuel gauge will drop down to empty even though there is a full tank. Dodge wants to charge me $1000 to replace this, since i amoutside of the oem warranty. This has happened on a number of occasions to me.it happened to my wife and daughter while they were driving my truck and had to stop and top off the gas tank otherwise the truck could have shut down. It had 3/4 tank of gas in it. This is a safety issue and should become a recall.
Vb1 recall is happening to my truck and still unknown solution and parts aren't available.is the truck ok to drive, will it be on fire? bulletproof diesel looks like a great option.
At a stop light on a 2 lane highway, the light turned green, pressed the gas pedal and about 900 feet later i lost compulsion. I quickly got off the highway just in time before the truck stopped rolling, it just died.
High pressure fuel leak causing fuel at a high pressure to be sprayed all over engine compartment, exhaust system, brakes and coat the undercarriage with fuel. While driving at highway speed (70 mph) a mist of vapor appeared behind the truck causing other vechicles to pull to the side to avoid the fuel being sprayed. Check engine light illuminated. Stopped the vehicle and massive fuel spill covered the concrete and dripped from every undercarriage lowpoint. Smoke and sizzling was observed and we fled a safe distance from vehicle. This is a repeat failure of the high pressure fuel line. This is the fifth failure and it has several more attempted to solve the leak prior to closing the work orders. Failure appears to happen after approximately 10,000 miles of being in service. No root cause has been established for this failure. Vehicle is in the possession of fca and no clear path has been given to me on how this is going to be resolved and i am without my truck. No path has been given to repair components that have been severely contaminated by diesel (brake pads, rotors, versus rubber components, etc)the attached photo shows the amount of fuel that poured out in the dealer service bay. Additional photos avalable on request. The date is for the latest failure. Today i am at 25 days with no clear path to close this concern.
After getting the aem flash per the settlement with epa my truck is slow to accelerate when starting out.it is a major hazard to drive in traffic.numerous check engine light occurrences.also - the settlement stated "no driving differences" - far from it.throttle lag - mpg down significantly.
Unable to fill gas tank when pumping gas paid the dealership to diagnose the problem to have them say the part is on back order till dec and that this seems to be a major issue . It is a major inconvenience when trying to get gas for the vehicle cause it takes so long to fill tank and need to pump it so slow or it kicks the pump off.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. While operating the vehicle, the tailgate door would erroneously open. The failure would occur after the doors had been unlocked using the key fob. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer (beaver county dodge, 2761 constitution blvd, beaver falls, pa) who was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired and the failure continued. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 5,000.
The contact owns a 2014 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that there was hesitation when changing gears from park to reverse or drive. The contact had to change multiple gears to get the transmission to switch over from park to drive or reverse. The reverse sensor and the drive sensor light illuminated sporadically. The contact was able to use the gear shifter knob to ensure that the vehicle was in the correct gear. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be repaired but the part needed to make the repair was on back order. The vehicle was to be inspected and repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 2100.updated 06/10/14*lj updated 06/11/2014
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign numbers: 19v347000 (latches/locks/linkages) and 19v757000 (engine and engine cooling).

Me and my wife bought a new 2014 dodge ram 1500 hemi sport truck we have had this new truck for about five weeks now. And was at walmart on monday 11/24/2014 in mcminnville tn. We had just gotten back into the truck and started the truck. After starting the truck i turned the shifter knob dial on the dash into reverse. Then i noticed that the backup camera didn't come on. The radio screen stayed on. So i wiggled the dial and put it back into park. And let off the brake and put it into drive and pulled back into the parking space. Then shut the truck off. I then waited ten minutes before i restarted this truck. Turned the shifter knob again into r-reverse, backup camers did not come on again. But was to start backing out of the parking space. After backing out about 4 to 5 feet, the camera came on as i was turning the dial fronr to n then to d. I am going to take the truck back to the dealers after thanksgiving and let them figure it out.if they can and i am going to contact thr dodge/ chyrsler factory before someone gets run over ,thinking the truck is in park but is still in reverse.
Last night i parked my truck in my driveway like i been doing since i had the truck which i bought new and last night i parked like i usually do and this morning i was informed that my truck has rolled out out the spot where i left it to the edge of the street while still in park. It could have backed into another vehicle or even worse a kid
After pulling into my drive way with my adult son in the passenger seat i was rolling up to the garage with my foot on the brake pedal slowing down the truck. I stopped the truck completely, by pushing on the brake pedal harder, about 5 feet from the house.i reached down to rotate the shift dial to park, "p".after turning to "p" the truck engine started revving and the truck lurched forward, after initially being startled i looked down and saw the shift dial was at "p" and the engine was still revving. The truck then struck the corner of the house while i was almost standing up on the brake pedal trying to get it to stop.i turned the shift dial to reverse and back to park and the truck stopped revving and moving. Then i backed away from the house.being a retired police detective the first thing i did was to check to see if the factory floor mat had dislodged and jammed into the pedals but it was properly hooked in place. After getting the trucks body damage repaired i had it towed to the dealer but they could find nothing wrong with the truck.i did notice that when i picked the truck up from the dealer there was a clicking sound under the dash when i rotated the shift dial from "r" to "p" that i do not recall hearing before.no clicking is heard when changing between any other gears.
When turning or coming to a stop, the electronic shifter comes out of gear. The display on the dash tells me to "shift to p to start". There are times where i am able to shift to p then right back to d but other times when i put it to p, i have to turn off the truck then turn it back on in order to go back to d. I have had this happen to me when driving on the city streets mostly but i have had it happen when i was getting ready to merge onto the freeway. I believe it has something to do with the transmission or with the electronic shifter.
I believe our truck should be part of most of the recalls listed fo ram trucks. Our tires are wearing on the outside,they won't fix.the transmission was replaced at twenty some thousands miles, and my wife being the primary driver said that when you come to a complete stop the truck sometimes jumps forward.the rear differential seal was replaced.i'm afraid that we might lose our wheels on the road.there is also a chemical smell coming from the engine that everyone can smell but the dealer.currently working with chrysler and been driving a rental for almost a month.
Cam shaft position sensor failed on 08-dec-2018.i paid for the repairs myself.issue is subject of current recall.unable to obtain reimbursement from fca after multiple times providing requested documentation and request for reimbursement.
On february i drove from my home several miles to a fast food restaurant taking an interstate on the way.i used my cruise control on my way there and just pressed the brake to disengage it when i exited the interstate.i then continued to the drive to the restaurant where i pulled into a line to the drive through window as i moved through the line i would apply my brake to stop and as cars pulled forward i just let my foot off the brake to slowly move forward then pressed the brake again to stop.i did this several times then suddenly when i took my foot off the brake my truck suddenly accelerated and ran into the car in front of me before i could stop it. The driver of the other vehicle and i were not injured and drove to the parking lot to exchange insurance information. Since the time of the accident i recently checked for recalls om my truck and found one related to the cruise control nhtsa # 18v-332 which could be related to my accident.i have recently had the recall service done june 30, 2018 at my local dodge dealer.
Wasn't sure if this fell under power train or engine itself.2014 ram 1500 3.6l engine.oil filter housing is plastic.noticed an oil leak upon changing oil.brought to dealer and hoped it fell under power train warranty.did not qualify so i'm out almost 1,000 for the repair.researching, this is a known common problem.dealer attributed it to being over tightened filter housing.well research shows this happens due to the temperature cycling over time.oil leaking onto the engine manifold creates a fire hazard under the proper conditions.manufacturer should put forward a recall to replace the housings or design one that is metal for an adequate replacement.
The contact owns a 2014 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle independently reversed. As a result, the vehicle crashed into a tree. A police report was not filed and there were no injuries reported. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 5,000.
When slowing down to a stop the transmission conducts a harsh down shift from 3rd gear to 2nd and or 2nd to 1st gear. I feel that this will cause the transmission eventually wear down. Dodge mechanics say there are not fault codes.
Was told the exhaust manifold bolt/studs warped and snapped and the exhaust manifold is warped, this happened on the driver side first but was covered under warranty but now happening on driver side out of warranty. Was told my dealership they see this often and was told fca has fixed the problem in newer years by using stronger material in the bolts. This informs me that fca knows of the problem but the dealers won't cover it as a design defect. Clearly there is a design defect with the exhaust manifold bolts as they should not be doing this and manufactures are suppose to account for these parts to see extreme temp changes. This has happened now twice to me but because i am no longer under warranty they won't fix the problem. The fist time was before 60,000 miles and now the other side is happening at 76,000 miles.to summarize the problem is warped exhaust manifold bolts and the manifold itself.
On 06/12/2019, i had the v08 recall (aem modification update) done on my 2014 ram 1500 ecodiesel.this recall was required as part of an emissions related lawsuit.fca advised that the updated software is not expected to change any of the vehicles attributes to include vehicle performance, driveability, and fuel economy.after having the recall work done, i have noticed a serious concern regarding the acceleration of the vehicle from a stop (especially when the engine is cold or not fully warmed up).when accelerating from a stop, there is a delay in the acceleration which i can best describe as feeling like "severe turbo lag." when trying to cross a busy intersection or trying to merge into traffic, if you try to accelerate quickly, the vehicle does not respond like it did prior to the recall work.after pushing the accelerator harder and getting through the lag in acceleration, the turbo finally kicks in and the vehicle accelerates quickly because you have to basically "floor it." i also noticed when driving up an incline and stopping at a stop sign, while continuing gradually up the incline the vehicle does not respond to light/gradual pressing of the accelerator.pressing the accelerator hardercauses the turbo to kick in and the vehicle to downshift which causes the vehicle to accelerate quickly .on 06/26/2019, the dealership tested it and test drove it for 12 miles and noting that they "did not experience anything abnormal when compared to like vehicles" and "vehicle performing as designed."my wife and icontinued to notice the same issues and i contacted fca again.they said they would document it and said that i could take it to the dealer again.i told them that i was not going to waste my time and reiterated that this issue was clearly a result of the update.fca closed my complaint.
I have had 16 incidents with my 2014 ram 1500, vin# [xxx]. Equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission. When i slowed down for a stop to turn right, the transmission went into neutral and the truck coasted down to a stop. The transmission knob would not shift out of drive and the transmission stayed in neutral. When i stopped and turned off motor, i could turn transmission shifter to park, start truck and shift into drive. This happened about 5 weeks apart. Both times i was on a city street and it was not a traffic problem. Current mileage 7455. I called my dealer and he said he had not heard of this problem, and said if it happened again to have to towed to him. I live 150 miles from him. My closest dealer is 60 miles. This is still happening almost monthly. I have dates and times i can send. Don't have room in this form for complete complaintinformation redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Truck was parked, we exited the truck, i was getting bags out of the back seat and a friend was getting his tool box out of the bed and when he leaned in the truck began to roll. It rolled 15 feet and stopped when it hit a snow bank. I got in the truck and verified it was in park.
Truck when placed in park has rolled away from me into the roadway on more then5 occasions. Truck was parked and the parking break was in-gauged t, keys where not in the vehicle and this occurred more then 5 minutes after the truck was parked.
Similar to nhtsa issue # 11287014 dated 12/5/19 on a ram.twice, i've parked my truck on an incline (two different driveways), i've put the car in park, shut off the engine and removed the keys and gotten out the truck.the truck then started to roll backwards, both instances i jumped back in and pushed the break to stop the truck, so i do not know how far it would have rolled.it did roll at least 2 feet before i got it stopped.i do not know the dates of the incidents
On the afore mentioned date, i was operating vehicle on a 2 lane highway. When i attempted to pass a slower vehicle the transmission froze/locked into a lower gear, not allowing me to complete the pass of the other vehicle and there by forcing me to brake heavily to avoid a head on collision. I then returned the truck to the dealer whom i had just purchased from. As of this writing' they have neither found or corrected this issue.
This has happened on a multitude of occasions. While driving the vehicle, the check engine light, the traction control light will both come on. At the same time as the lights the messages show up and say to service shifter knob, then right after that the service trailer brake system message shows up and will be the only message found in the messages folder. The check engine light and the traction control light stay on. When trying to get the traction control light to go out by pressing the traction control button, nothing happens. This is telling me that i do not have any traction control. This will become a major issue when it snows. Each of these instances have happened while moving both on and off the highway and while at a stop. This has happened also while on the highway about seven months ago while on the highway in the snow.
I've had the vehicle for two weeks parking it on a flat street. I pulled it in my driveway for the first time (which has a slight slope down toward the sidewalk/city street behind). Set the rotary dial to park and exited. I came back 8 hours later and the vehicle had rolled about 12 feet down across the sidewalk to the edge of the city street. I pulled the vehicle back up the driveway and this time set the parking brake before exiting. I stood for several minutes and observed a creaking sound as the vehicle continued to slowly roll again. After about an hour it had again rolled 1-2 feet down the driveway even with the parking break engaged. I put split firewood behind the back wheels to prevent it from rolling further.
I have a 2014 6cyl dodge ram 1500. I have found a few problems.first when i unlock the truck the dash lights and display screen flickers. Secondly i was driving through the park going down a hill and the truck didn't down like it should it was running 2500rpm when it should have been around 1500rpm. Lastly i took my family on a fishing trip and on the highway at 75mph i felt a stand vibration in the gas pedal and starting wheel. Also i am very concerned just how long the gear knob is going to work. I'd feel much safer and sure about the truck if they had a normal gear shifter.

We purchased a brand new ram 1500 february 27, 2015. We've been having the same on going problem with the vehicle since we purchased this vehicle. We brought it to the dealerships attention on several occasions and have been told the same thing every time which is "yes we acknowledge the problem is their however there is still no fix ".this has been going on for over 6 months. When you bring the vehicle. To a complete stop, it jumps or shifts as if it's trying to jump into another gear. When you try to drive off in the vehicle the vehicle gives a hesitation like it's trying to go into a higher gear before you even pull off. On top of this the vehicle currently have 3 recalls on it. We should not be experiencing this with a brand new truck. We've contacted the dealership several times regarding this issue but we're not getting any results. They just keep saying we're aware of the problem but there is stilll not a fix. We do not feel safe driving this vehicle and would like to see some results! we've been getting the same results for the past 6 or 7 months and have decided to contact nhtsa, hoping to get some results.
Bought truck as a cpo in may 2015, a month into ownership engine light came on, code p26ab, engine coolant bypass valve. Called the dealership and they were able to get me into a local dealership to check it out. Tech said they did not find anything, it must be an old code they did not erase. Then on3/4/19 same code returned, p26ab. There has been a recall on 2013 ram for the same problem.
The engine oil cooler on the pentastar 3.6l v-6 engine cracked causing oil to leak onto other engine parts and the ground.i noticed the oil leaking after driving approximately 4 miles.this could easily start a fire or cause an engine to seize.
While driving at approx. 50 mph the engine suddenly shut off.the warning light flashed service 4wd, check engine light, and many other warning lights on the dash and electronic selector. After stopping, without power brakes working, the truck would not start.i allowed to truck to sit, with flashers on, for about 10 minutes.after the 10 minute wait, the truck started and seem to drive normally.i went directly to local dealership (sharp dodge in pulaski, tn). The technician wasn't able to find a "code" related to the shut down.they only found indications of "voltage overload" not further defined.this occurred on april 8, 2021 on hwy 31a, approx 0600 hrs near the city of pulaski, tn 38478.note:. The engine /long block was replaced by the same dealer at172000 and under mopar warranty due to internal engine issues involving#5 lifter and damaged cam shaft.
Shifter knob has slipped or changed gears while moving or standing idle. Other times it will not shift into any gear ie: reverse. Also dash lights flicker at times, and at times will not turn off parking lights killing the battery. This has happened several times over the past 2 months.
Ram comes out of car wash and transmission will not engage into drive immediately.have to step on brake more than once to engage. Took it the dealership numerous times and they concluded that this was normal.
I have owned this truck for a month and a half and now it is slamming into gear between 2nd and 3rd gear. At 30 mph.and then it downshifts very hard when slowing!this is a nightmare. It is also vibrating on the highway and it feels like something is going on with the front end. I am bringing it back to the dealer but im sure i will get the same answer as everyone else.that there is no solution for this problem but they know about it. There is a thread for this issue. This truck was not cheap and i had a 93 ford that didn't do this stuff.this is not right and the more i read online this is a ongoing issue and the dealership can not fix it. So are we just suppose to drive around these 30k plus trucks with this issue.the more i look into it this is only one of the issues but i wanted to list my complaint and will also do so to anyone who will listen.wish i never bought this truck!!!!!they need to come up with a solution because this is unacceptable.
Engine light came on along with the service electronic throttle control indicator. Truck would not shift out of 1st gear; 3000 rpms, will not go over 25/30 mph.this was on vehicle start; can't drive it. It is in my garage. May need to be towed to service
My 2014 dodge ram 1500 was idling in park in the driveway for approximately 5minutes when with nobody in or near the vehicle it jumped into reverse and accelerated into a garage causing approximately $4,000 damage to the vehicle ( thank god nobody was injured or killed )
Chirping from the torque converter area i'm afraid my the transmission cold slip or go out causing an unexpected stop or acceleration ending up in an collision where someone cold get hurt. I have taken it to an certified mechanic and its not the exhaustor the lifters the noise is comes from between the transmission and the motor
Engine manifold bolt sheared off, started "ticking" noise when starts.....my research has shown many complaints about the defective boltsand h\where replaced with improved bolts on other models,,..i called my dealership and they stated that the item is not covered because warranty expired (5 years) even though i have less then 80k miles...
I scheduled an appnt. At 8:30 a.m. To the dealership on northlake blvd. In lake park, fl and they never did any recall repairs to my vehicle nor called and said they would not be able to complete repairs to my vehicle when i picked it up approx. 3:35 p.m.i was given the runaround after making repeated attempts to get the status of my vehicle via telephoneat 1:30 p.m. And again at 3:00 p.m.i was transferred to voice mails of people who had already left for the day.finally, when i arrived for my vehicle and spoke with alberto, he said they close at 4 and he's the person i spoke to around 1:30 who said my vehicle would be ready around 3:00.no one made any attempts to contact me about my truck since 8:30, saturday morning which is terrible customer service.
When accelerating the transmission jerks like it delays going into gear from 2-3 and 3-4 and at highway speed it feels like a little jerking.
While backing out of a private driveway onto a public street and nearing the end of my reversing i hit the brakes and using the rotary gear selector selected "d" for drive, the "d" illuminated and began blinkingthinking the vehicle was in drive i looked ahead of me to proceed forward but the truck continued to roll backwards and struck a parked car. I have since noticed that the gear selector under certain conditions will show it is in "d" "r" or "p" when in fact it blinks and that gear is not selected.
My truck makes chirping sounds like a bird when idling.
The contact owns a 2014 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that while parked on a hill, the vehicle rolled away. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 20,000.
After parking my vehicle in my driveway with the rear on the upper side of a slight incline and placing the vehicle in park and shutting engine off,the vehicle strarts rolling downward for approxiamately 5 to 7 feet, eventually stopping. Firsted noticed yesterday, 12/3/19 and then again today.this is a very serious issue and a safety concern. I read on online that it may be related to issues with the brake transmission shift interlock.
Our '14 ram 1500 was bought new on 6/22/15. On 8/9/15 our new 2014 dodge ram was parked on a incline in a friends driveway. My wife and son got in the truck, started it and put it into reverse to leave. After moving only a few feet my wife noticed the hostess coming down the drive to say goodbye. She placed the truck in park, got out of the vehicle leaving the door open and walked to the front of the truck. While giving the hostess a hug, hostess exclaimed your truck is rolling away. My wife tried to run back and around the door to get in the vehicle. Before she could, the open door took down two mailboxes and 4x4 timber posts they were mounted on and opened the door beyond the spring limit pushing into the front fender and popping out the front head light. The truck rolled across the street into the neighbors yard hitting a power poll where it came to stop. The impact to the poll was strong enough to pull down power lines. Upon reaching the vehicle a male guest noted the vehicle was still in park. My 9 year old was still strapped into his seat belt and significantly shaken up though not injured. The police and utility company arrived. The officer wrote his report up as vehicle malfunction. The tow truck operator said the vehicle could be driven in its condition. He pulled back the door to as close to closed as possible and tied closed. The rear bumper and tailgate are trashed. Insurance adjuster has given preliminary estimate of $8,900. The power company has not contacted us yet about their service call. I guess very fortunate that my wife did not make it around the door as she could have been crushed between the door and two mailboxes. Also thankful the the truck went straight across the street rather than turning and going down a long hill. Have contacted ram and was promised an investigator would be in touch within 3 days. 4th day and still no contact!
I was exiting the vehicle the engine was running andi had put it into park, the vehicle suddenly went into reverse.i stepped out of the truck andwas knocked over my legs were under the truck i managed to get them,out from under the truck,the edge of the front wheel caught my right foot pulling the sneaker off and spraining my ankle. The door caught my head and split it open. I had to go to the er for medical attention. I was the only one withinjuries as no one else was involved in the accident.the truck continued in reverse and ran into a box van with a lift gate. It caused about $6000 damage to my truck there seems to be numerous incidents ofproblems with the rotary gear shift on these trucks where the truck has been in park and the truck went into reverse. This should be a safety recall.
Vehicle was registered in park when exiting. Small child got into vehicle, started it, and pulled the shift lever all the way down into drive without needing to press the brake. Vehicle went forward 8 feet into exterior garage corner causing extensive damage to the structure it collided into. Homeowners insurance claim was filed adjustments to come with claim at a later date, no injuries, related to recall number 17v-821.
2014 dodge ram 1500. Consumer writes in regards to nhtsa safety recall 18v-332. *ld
When temperature is below 40 degrees the transmission will not operate properly.i can move the truck in reverse ok but when i put it indrive it does not want to move.it revvs up but will not pick up speed.i had this to the dealer and they said that chrysler is aware of this but they have no fix at this time.there only answer is to let the truck warm up for 15 minutes before driving it.i was almost hit in the rear trying to get going and i am afraid that if i let someone else i n my family use this truck that they might not be aware of the problem and be in an accident. The truck shifts properly after traveling several blocks.this seems to be getting worse as kit is happening now with the temperature i the 40's.
When the vehicle is in gear then stopped and placed in park but not shut off it will not go back into gear.this started the end of june 2019.it has occurred at least seven times.it has occurred in driveways, parking lots, and landscape and lumber yards.at the yards it blocked oncoming traffic.it happened when the vehicle was half way into our street from our driveway where vehicles had to drive around the truck.this could have resulted in injury the dodge dealer ran three checks on the truck and told us the problem never registers on their computer nor could they get the problem to replicate.after many complaints the dealership replaced the shifter controller.the problem occurred again within an hour after the attempted repair.we have to be careful where we drive the vehicle so we so not put ourselves in a dangerous situation.we could not be assure the vehicle would fo into gear when doing a three point turn.we have a video of this problem but i could not get it to copy.
The contact owns a 2014 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 60 mph, there was a sudden increase in engine rpms and there was no control over the speed while going up a mountain. Also, the contact stated the transmission would not shift gears. The problem recurred for the second time. The dealer could not duplicate the problem. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 3,300.
There is a continuous unknown electrical draw causing the battery to drain to the point the vehicle will not start. An electrical surge will cause the electric suspension to activate along with the console cluster after the vehicle has been turned off. The vehicle has been back to the dealership 6 times and neither the dealership or chrysler has a fix. The condition is getting worse and now there is a new issue affecting the electrical clutches in the transmission. I have requested a loaner vehicle until i can purchase a different vehicle i feel is safer. On april 3, 2014, the district chrysler representative denied the request. I believe this vehicle is unsafe for multiple possible reasons but especially concerned about he alternator. The alternator's function is to recharge the battery once it's been used to start the engine. And to keep the battery charged when various electrical systems are used in the vehicle. The alternator determines how much to charge the battery by measuring the reference voltage from the battery. If there's a problem with the battery where the reference voltage is very low, the alternator will try to recharge the battery. The alternator isn't designed to recharge a dead battery. It's intended to maintain the charge on a good battery. When this does happen, the alternator begins to run hot, and this is what kills the alternator. A dead battery while driving means no electric steering,no antilock brakes, no air bags, ect. I'm very concerned about the safety of this vehicle.
Slipped out of park,truck was on wheel ramps but not fully on flat part of ramp.i was changing the oil on the vehicle.it was on the ramps for around 15 minutes and rolled backwards.the vehicle was still in park and luckily i was not under it at the time. Not my smartest move no blocks behind wheels and no parking brake on. I double checked and vehicle started and was still in park without me touching the rotary dial. This scared me enough to be concerned.ignition off and keys were in off position in the ignition.the vehicle has approximately 72000 miles and i have owned it for around 50000 of those miles.i am familiar with the rotary dial.
On 13 may i was coming to a metered light when a lane splitter caused me to hard brake to avoid the splitter. My truck, with no prompting from me shut off. I was nearly rear ended by a semi behind me. On 6 june i was coming to a light and nearly stopped and my truck shut off. On 7 july i was coming to a stop at a stop light and my truck shut off. Each time this happens the truck turns off, the turn dial flashes "p" (as it is currently in d). I put the truck in p, turn the ignition back on, place turn dial into d and drive. Each time carl burger dodge says that my truck doesnt "code" and they cant recreate the issue. I provided them with video's of what happens that i found on youtube and thats when they started a "star" case with chrysler main. My chrysler customer care assistance admits there is an issue saying "the tech's are working on it" but then says the best they can do is "give me 3 free years of oil changes". I am a disabled veteran and i have reached lemon law status but carl burger is not doing anything and chrysler says its carl burgers responsibility to take my truck back but carl burger says its chryslers. This truck is going to get me killed. There is another reported case in chula vista, ca and chrysler also gave them 3 free years of oil changes just like they did with me. Your recall didnt include this year/make and model and it cant just be my truck, there is a dodge forumn that has this issue on the entire thread but since no customers vehicles "code" chrysler is keeping this quiet, i think they really have no idea what it is. Carl burger says they cant keep taking my truck apart but "we believe you". Please look into this.

2014 ram 1500 pickup.had stopped to refuel my pickup truck.when refueling completed, and after putting on my seatbelt, i started the engine and placed the transmission selector from park into drive.as i began to roll forward i had an electronic chime and notice displayed on my instrument panel: "vehicle not in park".having rolled only 10 feet, i stopped the truck, placed the car into park, and when i did so the digital speedometer gave an indication of zero.i put the gear back into drive and received the same alert.my speed was not more than 2-3 mph.i repeated the process and when i got the alert the next time i decided to continue to drive, after which the alert disappeared.perhaps just a coincidence, but my digital satellite radio malfunctioned and continued to do so before self-correcting 1.5 miles later.this was the first and only occurrence.i have not reported it to the dealer.i am only reporting it now to nhtsa because of the news article that i just read citing my year/model vehicle being among those that have had reported roll-off issues.this could be related and might provide you with additional data for analysis.
I have gotten 5 phone calls of people calling me and telling me they saw on the news that they saw on tv(the news channel) that there is a recall on my truck for faulty rearaxles and a faulty reardrive shaft that has to be replaced. I"ve put in my vin number 6 times and get no answer of these parts to be replaced. I just bought a 2014 dodge ram, 1500, 4x4 truck from a dealer who screwed over me once before, but decided to try them again. I also caught the tail end of the recall on the news which said the same thing the others saw about my truck..so what is up?
Driving on i-110 going70 mph heard a loud boom barely made it off road almost wrecked.drive shaft broke! my son was in the car with me. I bought the truck 3 months ago brand new and at 3,000 miles the muffler was not even welded to the converter!! the transmission has also slipped a couple of times!
When slowing to a stop, twice the engine has stalled and twice it sounded like it was about to stall but instead came out of gear.when it came out of gear the shift knob still indicated "d" but the light was flashing and the instrument panel said to shift into park and then back into drive
Water pump and thermostat on dodge ram 1500. I have spoken to many dealers and owners of dodge ram. Even the water pump is on back order that's how many people have issues with it
2014 dodge ram 1500. Consumer writes in regards to brake transmission safety recall and reprogram powertrain control module safety recall. *ld
On november 24, 2017 the vehicle was placed in park using the mounted knob gear shifter. The driver was going to remove items from the bed of the truck into a bulk trash area in the driver's housing development. The bulk trash area is a 3-wall concrete dumpster hider, with no dumpster inside (as shown in picture). The passenger exited the vehicle prior to the driver exiting. After exiting the vehicle and walking towards back of the truck, the truck began to roll backwards, ultimately hitting the concrete barrier that brought the vehicle to a stop. Upon re-entering the vehicle., the driver noted that the knob gear shifter was in "reverse". The driver immediately called insurance provider to file claim, as well as fca, the vehicle's manufacturer. Fca sent an investigator while the truck was at the body shop to assess vehicle. Owner also brought vehicle to ram dealership subsequent to body repairs for inspection. Ram said because incident could not be reproduced, issue did not exist. Owner has owned vehicle since november 2014 and this was the first time this incident occurred. As such, duplication is not predictable. Fca placed blame on parking brake not being utilized.
Ram performed recall update v08 to the emissions system on this vehicle to become complaint with federal emissions. After the update there is a 3 second delay in throttle response. This generally occurs while the truck is stopped and is taking a left or right turn. This is a very serious safety issue that has almost resulted in a couple accidents. Recall v08 was not supposed to effect fuel economy, but post recall i lost 6mpg.
At 70 - 76 miles per hour the truck starts to vibrate. Had the front drive shaft replaced part number 938-095 10 months ago and it stopped . Here we are 10 months later and it is back.
My stock driveshaft is rubbing into my stock gas tank. I believe to be the case on all 2014 regular cab 1500 with the 3.92 rear end. The key here is the 3.92 rear end on this truck. They used an oversize adapter plate the mount the drive shaft and there is not enough clearance when turning left and the bed rolls. I have gauge marks in my tank and fca is refusing to look at the evidence even though a ram dealer pointed it out to me.
On 5/23/19 i took my truck to the dealer where i'd bought it new to fix a check engine light that was on.after the issue was found and repaired, i picked the truck up and was told a trans update(recall # u07) was also done.as soon as i pulled into light traffic,i noticed the throttle pedal was unresponsive and the truck was sluggish and slow to accelerate.it also shifted up and down a lot more then it normally does all the way home.i thought maybe the trans had to re learn it's shift pattern and would get better after i put some miles on it just as it did when new.over the next several weeks it didn't get any better and pulling onto the state highway from a town road has lead to some close calls as it'is a limited sight stop sign intersection.i have to do this every time i go to work or leave my house for any other reason.this is not a one time happening but every time i need to pull into traffic or get up to speed quickly.after several weeks i figured out something was wrong and the truck wasn't going to get better on it's own,i called the dealer to set up an appointment and check it out.i also asked if i could have the epa mandated aem(recall #v08) flash performed at the same time and was given an appointment for the following week.a few minutes later the dealer's service manager called back and informed me the aem update had already been performed on the 5/23/19 service visit and the change(loss) in performance was most likely the result.since i was unaware the aem update had already been performed,i knew the loss in performance wasn't my imagination.i also noticed a loss of about 15% fuel mpg and the trans.shifts up and down a lot more which is more of an aggravation then a safety issue.i wish the truck could perform as it did before the aem update as was promised by fca and also be emission compliant. I thought i knew what i was getting.
The contact owns a 2014 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 53 mph, the vehicle jerked and the contact noticed that the front inner fender had become detached from the vehicle. In addition, the contact stated that the fog lights failed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 15,000.
Have a 2014 ram 1500 black express with 8 speed transmission.the truck downshifts very hard when slowing and seems to hesitate before upshifting randomly.the transmission also makes a grinding noise at idle and a metallic clank on acceleration.the dealer told me this was normal.that's funny because it went 9000 miles without doing it.i have contacted chrysler care to no effect and the dealer wont even look at the tranny until it throws codes.i am so mad.
Cannot put it to work it will not haul a trailer, can't drive because it will turn off in bumpy roads, been marking ' shift to desire gear to drive' we have been fighting with people from the agency ( don davis ) and they say they cannot find problems. Changed shift cragter twice, no luck! i took it with the enginge like turned on and can't seem to find a 'code' the truck starts shaking up before it turns off completely. It's a matter of safety for myself and my family.
I pulled out of parking lot into street. I felt like what was a flat tire. There was vibration and loud thumps. I immediately pulled over to check my tires. To my surprise i found my tires to be intact and looked under the truck and found the drive shaft had fallen. Good thing i was only doing about 10 mph and not 60-70 on the highway. I immediately contacted ram and they towed my vehicle to the nearest dealer. The dealer is not very informative as to what happened and chrysler group is not giving this incident the proper attention it deserves. I am sharing this to let other ram owners know that this is a serious matter and should be addressed. ..updated 10/21/14updated 3/30/2015
After the v08 recall aem update, the truck has no power when accelerating from a stop
Dangerous. Transmission problem on slight uphill at speeds from 40-70 miles. Suddenly the traction control off light and engine light comes on, truck gets stuck in a weird gear, gas pedal only works half way. You cannot speed up to save your life. This is just a 4 year old truck. Absolutely unfoto buyers.
After emissions recallvo8 was performed in may, the throttle response is gone.there have been many close calls where the truck won't go when the gas is pressed.it was perfectly normal before recall was done.
Fca aem recall. Since getting the emissions recall done the truck no longer responds like it did. It is a life safety issue. The update has mad the truck very sluggish to the point it feels like it is going to stall when trying to start from a stop or merging into traffic on the highway. I have also lost 5-6 mpg since the update and will no long let my wife drive it to do lack of power to even get moving.

Received a letter from fca, titled, approved emissions modification disclosure 3.0l diesel. Took letter and visited dodge dealer, they did not know anything about the letter and stated that they could not do anything without a recall number. I have since monitored motor for any signs of overheating or loss of cooling fluid. The truck continues to have low gas mileage, shifts hard and at high rpm. When first started is sluggish and i have to drive cautiously as it hesitated on take off.
My trucks 'service electronic throttle control' light (lightning bolt) comes on both when starting my vehicle and when driving my vehicle. When it comes on when i try to start the truck, it wont change out of the gear it is in (ie i cant go faster than 15-18mph). It sometimes goes off if i turn the engine on and off multiple times. The more dangerous timing of it is when the light comes on while i'm driving.this either causes me to downshift into a lower gear which throws me forward and revs the engine in excess of 3000rpm, or while i am stopped, the rpms climb without any foot on the accelerator. If i take my foot off the brake while this happens, i accelerate forward either up to 18mph or 30mph depending which gear it is 'stuck' in. I have taken it to one local ram dealer 6 times reporting the same issue. The did flash updates, replaced accelerator pedal sensor, brake sensor, repaired connector for the accelerator pedal sensor, and replaced throttle body (all of which at the time, they said each individual component was the root of the problem). I have taken it to another local ram dealer, and they attempted to fix it with 4 and a half hours of diagnostic time. They replaced the throttle body and replaced a cable/connector and low and behold, the problem still exists. This is very dangerous for so, so many reasons. I note that not only the check engine light have come on, but the traction control light, abs light, service 4wd light, ! temp light, check brake light, and of course the service electronic throttle control light.
The new ram trucks use a dial like shifter that chrysler is calling the "rotary shifter" in which the driver uses to select the transmission position from park or drive. The system is causing safety issues in confusing drivers thinking that they are looking for the windshield wipers, van speed control, or even thinking that the vehicle is in park when actually in drive.with our incident the driver thought the vehicle was shifted into park however it was in drive. The driver started to get out of the vehicle when it started moving forward causing a collision to another vehicle within our garage lodging the drivers head in the top portion of the door and leg in the lower causing injury not to mention damage to each vehicle involved. The damage combined to for both vehicles is well over $2,000 for a minor collision and also two separate collision claims on our auto policy. Chrysler is calling it a diver error after reporting it to them under claim #24280455. We feel and after talking with others in the public in just this short amount of time that it is a safety issue as others in our area are having the same issue however no one was injured or in a collision from others that we have talked with thus far.
When i put my 2014 dodge ram pickup in park and get out it rolled back. This has happened three times. Twice it rolled about 3 feet, other time about 6 feet. Dodge dealer here in anchorage alaska claims they no nothing of issue and do not have a fix for the problem.
The contact owns a 2014 dodge ram 1500. While driving approximately 20 mph, the vehicle shifted out of gear and stalled. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the failure was unable to be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 10,000.
The contact owns a 2014 dodge ram 1500. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign numbers: 15v459000 (air bags), 15v460000 (air bags, seat belts), 15v534000 (air bags), and 15v461000 (equipment). The parts were not available within a reasonable time frame to schedule the recall repairs for several months. The dealer did not give a specific date for when the parts would become available. The manufacturer could not provide an estimated date for when the vehicle would receive the recall repair. The contact stated that upon shifting gears, the transmission hesitated to change over and there was an abnormal noise. The contact also stated that the steering wheel difficult to turn. The failure mileage was not available.
The v08 emission recall has despite what the manufacturer claims decreased my mpg, increased turbo lag, made it unsafe to drive due to literally slower than acceptable throttle response, and daily diesel regeneration. All before this flash to the ecu there where no problems. But since it is a ticking time bomb just waiting for for me to get t-boned at an intersection for the delayed acceleration.
The trucked rolled down my driveway while in park with parking break engaged.
2014 ram ecodiesel. Had the emissions update done per the fca class action lawsuit requirements. After the update, my truck has an extremely dangerous turbo/throttle lag. This lag can last anywhere from 2-5 seconds. Additionally, the truck was advertised as 29 mpg on the highway. After the update, i am sitting around 17 mpg. I have lodged a complaint with fca and am still waiting to hear back. This is no longer an emissions issue, this is a safety issue and i can guarantee you it will lead to numerous accidents and possibly death. A simple google search will show that this issue is not unique to my ecodiesel. Almost every ram and jeep that had the emissions update is dealing with the same safety risks.
While driving around 45 mph i noticed that the truck had shifted out of drive when i tried to put my foot down on the accelerator it would just rev like it was in neutral. The gear indicator light above the rotary knob was still in drive but was blinking. On the heads up display a message came up saying to shift to park to select a gear. I almost got rear ended having to park my truck in the middle lane of a three lane highway to get back into drive. This has happened twice now, the first time i took it in and they opened a star case and the service department was advised by the manufacturer to change the elelctronic shifter module. Shortly after that it happened again. This time they're saying the don't know what to replace and can't do anything about it. Both times they state that they can't find any codes and have been unable to replicate problem. The first time the problem came up the vehicle had about 11,000 miles on it.
The vehicle suddenly decelerates for a few seconds while driving which causes loss of control of the vehicle.very unsafe condition.potential to cause an accident.this issue happened several times. Once approx a month ago at ~94000 miles and then twice on june 8, at approx 97000 miles.
My truck keeps rolling forward or backwards when put into park, also my cruise dont shut off or turn on half the time.
When in motion on a city or a highway the transmission does not downshift correctly and it sounds like if it is revving when not stepping on the gas.
While driving my children to the park my truck switched itself from drive to park. I was pulling up to a stop sign while this happened. The truck has a knob for the selection shift. My children were in the back and scared all of to death not to mention it almost caused an accident. The knob still said the vehicle was in drive, but the display said to push the brakes and put the vehicle into drive. Something similar happened a few months ago, but the time i thought maybe i had hit something with my knee or foot to cause it. I now know that there is a serious problem with that knob. I was still moving while applying the brake, then the truck just jerked to a stop. I first hit the gas, but the engine increased rpm, but the transmission was not engaged. I will not put my children in this truck again.
.my pick-up averaged 24 per gallon between local and expressway driving. Expressway driving only (for example, to niagara falls in 2015) averaged 27 miles per gallon. Following replacement of spark plugs and oil change and 2 factory recalls my pick-up lost power and could barely do 20 miles per gallon. The engine became very loud. The longer i drove it, the less mileage i got -- the engine also began howling/whistling as i tried to increase speed. In order to maintain speed, i had to constantly press my foot to excelerate, even going down inclines.i had to continuously bring my pick-up back to the dealership in st. Charles, illinois because various systemsbegan to fail-- safety breaks, fuel related black box, dashboard panel signals , etc.i expressed concern about the stress on my transmission and engine. Eventually, by process of elimimation, service department revisited the 2 recalls -- one of which was the cruise control recall.when i brought it in again, they found 6 leaks located on the top of the engine.anything above 50-55 mph is difficult. I feel that the transmission does not change gears in a timely fashion, and sometimes not at all.the rpm is very high and the engine remains in exceration mode either too long or, at higher speeds, never kicks in
I am writing with concern i have for a possible vehicle defect with a 2014 ram 1500 4x4. I have contacted chrysler corporate and have received little to no help. I have been basically told that they don't know what the problem is and have technicians working to solve the issue. The problem is a transmission issue that the neither servicing dealer nor corporate can repair. It has been in their repair shop 4 times. My last visit i was told by the service manager that the repair was not made because they did not know what to do and to 'drive it till it became worse or more consistent.' their mechanic and service personnel have heard the noise as well but cannot determine the problem. The noise is a high pitch squeal at a down shift from the 2nd gear to 1st gear.my concern is that i have asked the servicing dealer and the case manager with chrysler corporate about the safety of the vehicle. Regardless of the downshift squeal being from 2nd gear to 1st gear, should there be a catastrophic failure of the transmission at highway speeds what will happen? they will not answer this question. If this is a safety issue, they need to make me the consumer aware and repair as needed. I have asked them to replace the transmission and have been told every reason why they cannot. I feel this is unacceptable and my safety and the safety of my family is at potential risk. I have attached my correspondence with chrysler for your review including the servicing dealer documents and the corporate case manager.
Has dial transmission knob. Swear it was in park, opened door, realized it was moving in reverse. Stop it after door was bent forward by tree. Already been claimed and repaired.
Vb1 recall is happening to my truck and still unknown solution and parts aren't available.is the truck ok to drive, will it be on fire? bulletproof diesel looks like a great option.
My truck has a rotary switch used to switch between park, reverse, neutral and drive.my vehicle was running and i was in drive.i stopped and turned the switch three places to the left.this put the vehicle in park.i left the engine running.i exited the vehicle and left the driver door open.i leaned over to look at something and when i turned around the truck was rolling backwards.i ran after the truck but could not catch it and it crashed into another truck that i own.my truck came to a stop and when i got back into the vehicle it was in reverse.thankfully no one was injured but my truck suffered moderate damage.this all occurred on private propertyso there was no police report filed.
I pulled up to a gate at a facility just off the highway in belton, texas and put my truck in park using the dial. I left the truck running and got out to open the gate. After exiting the vehicle it somehow began moving forward until it impacted the gate. I got back in the vehicle and the dial was still in park. It destroyed the gate and messed up the front end of my truck. I did not know this had been reported so much until i got online and researched it and now see that is it a problem with many other drivers experiencing the same issue.
I have been to ram dealers in las vegas several times in the past 16 months to inquire about the shift interlock system recall and they always tell me that the part for replacement is not available at this time and they will call me when they get the part . 2. I haven't been called or mailed a link recall notice for the cruise control system recall. I have also had my truck inthe shopfor air bag sensors failure messages. Most recently february 2018 and the messages keep repeating.i have been told that they have replaced the seat sensors and wiring harnessesseveral times the last time they had my truck for 4 days without furnishing a loan or rental car. I'm a 100% disabled veteran and use a wheelchair this is my only vehicle with a wheelchair lift installed to load, unload and transport my wheelchair what are my options?
My vehicle suddenly and dramatically accelerates when descending steep hills, without any depression of the accelerator pedal.when this happens, the engine rpm abruptly increases from around 1500 rpm to 3000 rpm or more, with a corresponding increase in vehicle speed.this typically happens in first and second gear. After i slam on the brake to reduce speed, the engine speed temporarily returns to normal (1000-1500 rpm) then the vehicle accelerates on its own again.this does not happen when descending gentle hills.this has been happening since the vehicle was brand new and is still occurring now, 6 years later.the dealer attempted to fix the problem when the car was new, but without success.
Transmission will shift into neutral when slowing down to turn or stop. Necessary to turn off engine start and put into gear. This has happened 18 times to date. I have a 4 page document detailing each time, place, and occurance. If i had an address to sent to. I am in a small town so have nor has any traffic problems but if i go to a large city this would be bad to stop and restart vehicle in heavy traffic. Have had to dealers twice. First one told me they could not find anything. And second dealer after keeping my vehicle 3 days said he did not have time to look at it. Ntsb # 10748878
2014 ecodiesel received an update / reprogramming of engine control unit (ecu) and now has serious drivability issues, especially when cold. Throttle response is delayed and, if trying to pull into traffic, is dangerous due to the delay in throttle response. In addition to drivability issues, the fuel mileage has decreased significantly, probably 20%.
I started my vehicle mid september to go to the store to realize the check engine light was on and the transmission was stuck in 4th gear. I checked the website for recalls and there were 3. Non of which had anything to do with the transmission.i made an appointment to get them repaired which took almost a month. I dropped the truck off tuesday the 20th of october and it is still there. They say the recalls have been repaired but the transmission issue is unknown. The vehicle has less than 6,000 miles.
The truck will roll away after placing gear in park.this has happened on many separate occasions.
The contact owns a 2014 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 20 mph, the accelerator pedal was depressed and the vehicle hesitated to respond. The "service accelerator" message suddenly displayed prior to the failure. The contact mentioned that the vehicle would resume to normal function independently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to diagnose the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 29,000. The vin was not available.
Have noticed a crack in the tail shaft of transfer case. Have never used the 4 wheel drive since i bought it decided to use it & noticed a click that's when i noticed the cracks in transfer case
Takata recall while the vehicle was in park the rotary knob would spin back and forth and wouldn't move out of park. It stated service transmission shifter. I diconnected the battery and reconnected it. Very quickly i movedit into drive and was able to get the truck into drive and in motion . Shortly after at a speed of approximately 70 mph, in the middle of the highway,the vehicle shifted from drive into neutral on its owncausing the vehicle's engine to accelerate and once i was able to safely maneuver it to the side of the road, it came to a complete stop and it was stuck in park. I have taken the truck to the dealership in buford, ga for further evaluation. They have stated it was something to do with a code in the computer.
Completed aem update which promised no change in performance. Truck is now dangerous to drive and does not meet my needs, which is why i purchased the truck. I nearly get t-boned pulling in or across traffic. The lag in the truck is extreme. I own a 21 foot boat and can barely pull it out of my 2 mile driveway that is on a slight hill. Truck bogs down and nearly stalls. Very disappointed in the truck after the update.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. While in park, the vehicle rolled backwards in the driveway the dealer was unable to diagnose or repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 35,000.updated 02/16/17*lj
My son's ram 1500 rolled forward while in park damaging our garage door.we just heard about this vehicle's transmission issues and it sounds like what happened in this situation.
Transmission was replaced due to a manufacturing defect,not part of a recall,rear main seal was replaced, rear differential seal was replaced, high mount brake light was replaced due to water leaking in the cab. There is a chemical smell coming from engine thru vents.front tires wearing on the outside most likely the tie rod defect that the dealer won't acknowledge.
Starting to back out of my driveway, i stopped and thought i had shifted the rotary automatic transmission knob to the park position to go into the house and retrieve an item before continuing.apparently, i did not get the knob correctly in teh park position, as i started exiting the vehicle with the door open, the transmission was still in reverse and started rolling backward.i re-entered the vehicle to apply the brake, but not until the opened truck door had collided with my garage wall, causing damage to the truck door and the garage wall.i felt fortunate that i was not pinned between the door and the garage wall before i was able to get back in the vehicle.the knob shift control is not very intuitive and i believe can lead more frequently to driver error.it was also surprising to me how much acceleration and force occurred without applying any pressure to the gas pedal.
The ram ecodiesel 3.0l truck had a check engine light that came on while driving, showing a p20ee error, requiring the replacement of the diesel exhaust selective catalytic reduction (scr) at under 27,000mithe dealership i dealt with was great in getting it fixed, but i am concerned the new exhaust scr that was installed won't last the life of the vehicle if the first one only lasted a little over 26,000mi unless they made a change and/or updated the part that was installed on my truck.i'm hoping the replaced part was updated by ram and the cause of this error corrected, but i have not been given this information at this time.
I am sending this complaint regarding the gear selector knob that i believe poses a safety concern due to the 5 or 6 times that i have exited my vehicle while it was running and still in gear.on a few occasions i thought that i turned the gear selector knob to park when i actually turned it to reverse.i opened the door and began to exit my truck when it began to roll backwards.i have a 2010 ram with a normal shift selector lever and never had this issue.i thought that it might take a little time to get used to the knob style, but after 20 months, i am still having issues.i have spoken to others with this style knob and they have experienced the same issue.each time this occurred was in my driveway either getting the mail or to run into the garage to get something.thank you

The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. While the vehicle was stationary, the air suspension warning indicator remained illuminated. In addition, the transmission malfunctioned while in the fourth wheel drive position. The vehicle overheated without warning. The vehicle was taken to be repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 85,819.

After receiving the epa mandated emissions update known as aem (v08) i have been experiencing an unsafe amount of lag from the time the accelerator is pressed to the time the truck actually begins to accelerate. At times, i can count to 5 seconds before the truck begins to move forward. This is unacceptable and downright unsafe. Fca is staying that the lag is as the software intended it to be. When the truck was purchased it was not at all like this, after being forced by the epa & the state of california to get this update my truck is now nearly inoperable due to safety concerns. I refuse to put my family in this vehicle as it in completely unpredictable and unreliable. Please step up and forced fca to fix this terrible mistake they made. You may end up saving someone's life.

Went to ram dealer for recall #'s u61, u53, u07. When vehicle was returned am now able to shift from reverse to drive without touching parking brake while vehicle is in motion. Also able to shift from drive to reverse and from drive/reverse to park without touching brake pedal. Reported problem to dealer 2/21/2019. Dealer has procrastinated in fixing issue. Notified ram customer service 3/27/2019 to help get recall problem fixed. Dealer stated would order part. No calls again from dealer. Called ram customer service 04/15/2019 and problem has been elevated, but still no fix to vehicle. Dealer again called with no solution to correct recall created safety issue. Again, vehicle can be shifted from drive to reverse while vehicle is in motion without touching brake pedal.
I have had several malfunction of the transmission in my vehicle since purchased.they started around a year after i purchased the vehicle and have averaged approximately one malfunction per year.the first three malfunctions were similar; a "hard" downshift or upshift while i was highway driving at highway speed and adjust according to traffic flow.i heard a loud popping noise and felt the jolt of the transmission changing.like when the vehicle slowed but the transmission didn't react and all the sudden a hard shiftsame on the upshift. The latest malfunction was different.i was in highway traffic when traffic slowed down.i tried to accelerate to keep up with traffic flow but the vehicle would not exceed the 45 mph.i could hear the engine revving up but it was like it was stuck in low gear.i pulled off the freeway and stopped and restarted the vehicle and it drove as normal.i have explained the malfunctions to the dealership onseveral occasions.they said they checked it out and it was normal.after the last failed attempt to get the problem resolved at the dealership, i contacted the chrysler fca us customer center representative by letter.the advised me to a gm at the dodge city dealer in mckinney, tx. The dealership ended up "resetting the transmission".it was explained to me that is similar to resetting your cell phone where all settings go back to the original settings.i was given no other options at the time except to drive the vehicle and see if the resetting resolved the problem.it is my opinion there has been no real resolution to the problem of the malfunction of the transmission.i still have the same fear that if the transmission malfunction under the right conditions it could cause an accident resulting in serious bodily injury or even death to me or someone else.please give this concern your utmost attention.

While driving to work on a smooth straight road, the emergency information screen in my gauge cluster started flashing and stated "service power steering" "service electronic brake system" "service electronic brake controller" "service transmission" it also stated to not shift to park as shifting may become inoperable once stopped.my power steering was gone, my gas pedal was inoperable and braking was very weak.i had to muscle the truck to the side of the road and slowly come to a stop and shifted into park.i turned the key fob to off and let it sit for a few minutes.when i tried to restart the vehicle it would not even attempt to turn over.now, my key fob was also stuck in the ignition and would not turn to the off position to remove the key.i called chrysler roadside assistance and sat on hold for 55 minutes before the first person answered the phone.after 10-15 min we had a tow truck set up but that wouldn't be there for another 75 minutes.so from the time i called to when the tow truck actually arrived it was almost 2.5 hours!good thing it wasn't the middle of winter. They replaced the ignition module. That wasn't the problem.then they thought it was the bcm.that didn't work as they now "only have communication with half of the vehicle".i'm still not sure what that means but that's where we are at day 7.i do not want this vehicle back.i do not feel safe driving it if the service department has no idea how to properly fix it or even know if they have properly fixed it with their guess and check methods.if i had been traveling at higher speeds or pulling a trailer when this happened, the outcome could have been disasterous!or even worse if my wife had been driving in 4wd and lost power steering there is no way she could have pulled the vehicle over safely.huge safety concern that i want no part of.this is on top of the 5+ recalls.
Me and my wife bought a new 2014 dodge ram 1500 ram hemi sport truck wehave had this new truck a dodge ram 1500 hemi sport. For about five weeks now. And was at walmart, on monday the 25th of nov. In mcminnville we had just gotten back into the truck and started the truck. After starting the truck i turn the shifter knob dial on the dash into reverse. Then i noticed that the backup camera didn't come on . The radio screen stayed on. So i wiggled the dial and put it back into park.

Shut the truck off. Then waited for ten minutes. Before i restarted this truck. Turned the shifter knob again into r for reverse. Backup camera did not come on again. But was able to start backing out of the parking space. After backing out about 4 to 5 feet. The camera came on as i was turning the dial from r to n then to d for drive. I am going to take the truck back to the dealers after thanksgiving and let them figure it out. If they can't then they can give me my truck that i traded in on it.

I bought a one owner certified used 2014 ram 1500 2wd truck with 22k miles about 1 month ago. Dealer has all service records. As soon as i got on the highway leaving the dealer, the seats start to shake at about 55mph, i can feel a violent shaking and vibration coming from the seats and center console. It is not felt in the steering wheel at all. Runs fine, no unusual noises etc. Rides fine up to 55mph. I took it back to the dealer, they balanced the tires. This did not fix it. I took it back, they replaced one tire and road force balanced them again, still no luck. They had it for a week and replaced the driveshaft. A little better, but still not right, vibration is still there. They had 2-3 of their senior guys drive it, and have had my truck for over 2+ weeks now and are still not sure what is wrong. I just made my first payment and only got to drive the truck a few days in one month of ownership. I see numerous similar complaints online about this. No recalls on my truck?? someone help.

I own a 2014 ram 1500 with a 3.0l eco diesel. There was a federal class action lawsuit that was handed down and the outcome was an approved engine modification (aem). The aem was a reflash of the ecm and tcm. After the recall was performed, the performance of my truck dangerously impacted. If i drive my truck before the engine reaches operating temperatures over 150degrees, there is significant acceleration delays. It usually takes me 5-10minutes of driving or more than 20minutes of idling (warming up) to get the engine up to operating temperatures. I can push on the accelerator petal and wait 3-5 seconds before the truck reacts, then i get pushed back into my seat and sometimes spin the drive tires. This is extremely dangerous, especially when i am turning into oncoming traffic, or trying to overtake another vehicle on the highway. Also, prior to the engine reaching operating temperatures, i now experience 'turbo flutter' this is where too much air is forced into the intake manifold and the air is pushed back through the turbo. The truck acts as if the breaks are pulsing. Similar to the above, it happens when i am accelerating, not with the accelerator pushed to the floor, just normal, conservative driving.a few other changes i have found after the aem, i have lost significant fuel economy, greater than 10%, and diesel exhaust fluid (def) consumption is significantly higher. These last 2 items do not directly effect the drivability of my truck but if i had know these things would have happened after the recall, i would not have had the recall performed. Thank you, [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Had to replace drivers side seatbelt in 2016 at 22567 miles. No cost as under warranty. Had to replace same seatbelt 2019 at 83860. Was charged $277.78 for this. In complaining to fca they said seatbelt should have been under warranty and they may refund my charges. But why did a seatbelt fail twice in 5 years? seat belt will not engage in the receiver both times
I was a passenger an driver swerved off the road to avoid hitting heard of burro's in nv. Hit head on tree no airbags deployed though local dodge dealership said they had been replaced, seatbelts failed as well now i suffering from broken right kbee brused up left knee hit knee's elbows an my head was swong forward at an abrupt stop hit at 50mph. Went to hospital the recommended bone specialist they are going to do mri but only on right knee well my hands are numb an though i keep complaining no one is listening no one if recommendng a doctor. The local dealership here in pahrump nv are crooks they keep truck 5 hours we get it back with 48 new minles on it they dented hood twice. An at this point i would like vehicle inspected that the airbags were ever even replaced in 2016 at this point with failer to deploy at head on 50mph i highly doubt they replaced any recalked parts just recieved the seatbelt recall on 7/6/2017 an i'm sure that is late on their part to even notify us. Vehicle was in motion when we hit right side front an left side of vehicle. Everything has to be replaced except tail gate or the cab dois tirers rims an everything else must be replaced.
I have notifications of these various recalls and have tried to get these corrected or at least checked out at the dealership where i purchased my truck.first i was told that appointments were now required.then i was advised that 1st come/1st served was now required and full schedules are usual.now i received another notification.i care for my ram, but my time is also important.

I had my truck at the dealer for a recall, i noticed my seatbelt wasn't locking when i pulled on the shoulder strap. I asked them to look into this when my vehicle was there. They did, said the seatbelt was defective, but chrysler was not going to cover this. After further review none of my seatbelt shoulder straps lock when you pull on them fast. I have a crew cab truck so that is 5 seatbelts with shoulder straps. My dealership was on the phone with chrysler for over an hour trying to get them to cover this safety defect, they just kept saying no, truck is out of warranty.after reading all these complaints, will my airbags deploy if i'm in an accident? i don't know and hope i don't have to find out the hard way. This happens all the time driving or standing still.the dealership told me the seatbelts are defective. This should be addressed asap,no one should have to pay for a safety issue.

All of the following in this review happens at all times. When in motion, stationary, all driving conditions and all times of day and night. Overhead console on truck where led courtesy map/reading lights have issues. Light flickers and dims when on. It makes interior visibility near impossible. Upon inspecting the unit the wiring going to the lights and sun room are chaffed and pose as a fire hazard and or equipment failure if shortage occurs.rear third brake light seal deteriorates and lets water into the cab. This can rust out flooring and causes mold issues. Ruins leather seats. Also can deteriorate seat belts possibly as well as rust or cause weakness in seatbelts for rear passengers. Will severely damage and/or stain interior roofing, carpet, seat belts and/or seats.
I was involved in a rear end accident. The person who hit me was going approximately 50 mph. I was stationary waiting to make a left turn. The front drivers seat broke causing the back portion to slam into the rear seat and the bottom to completely raise up. As a result i had no control over the vehicle causing some secondary damage. If there had been a person in the back seat they would of had catastrophic injuries as they would have been crushed by the driver seat. The airbags were emitting a "gas" but the airbags never deployed. I do not have photos of the seat but the brunswick county ems did take photos of the seat. And i am sure they can provide if further investigation is warranted.
Bolt holding seat to floorboard broken, making seat unstable. Attempts to have dealer repair told bolts not under warranty. Spoke to other ram owners with same problem broken bolt holding seat secure.
The airbag warning light keeps coming on and off (along with the accompanying "ding").i think there is a short in the wiring under the driver's seat.whenever i go over big bumps it seems to cause the issue more often.
Took the truck in for service on air bag light issue to the dealer, lawton chrysler jeep dodge ram's truck center located at 215 se interstate dr., lawton, ok 73501. I was informed by an employee that the airbag light was a common issue due to a bad design and a cheap plastic wiring harness located under the driver side seat. Any seat adjustments, loose objects rolling under the seat, or even a rear passengers foot could potential make contact with the harness in a manner that breaks it and may trigger the airbag light to come on.. Interstate dr. Martin ok 73501 i was informed by employee that the airbag light was a common issue due to a bad design in the cheap plastic wiring harness located under the driver side seat in the seat that just meant loose objects rolling under the seat or even a rear passengers foot could potential make contact with the harness in a manner that breaks the plastic part. This would trigger the airbag light. My concern is, will the airbag function properly if i'm in an accident? *dtdodge admitted it was poor design.
2014 dodge ram laramie longhorn, just bought and my service air bag lights are flashing 9n and off.they say its the harness in the drivers seat.when starting the vehicle it flashes and and off, and while driving its flashing on and off.i feel very unsafe driving my own car.
I've had the vehicle for two weeks parking it on a flat street. I pulled it in my driveway for the first time (which has a slight slope down toward the sidewalk/city street behind). Set the rotary dial to park and exited. I came back 8 hours later and the vehicle had rolled about 12 feet down across the sidewalk to the edge of the city street. I pulled the vehicle back up the driveway and this time set the parking brake before exiting. I stood for several minutes and observed a creaking sound as the vehicle continued to slowly roll again. After about an hour it had again rolled 1-2 feet down the driveway even with the parking break engaged. I put split firewood behind the back wheels to prevent it from rolling further.
Upon starting the vehicle, there was a blinking light in the instrument cluster which appeared to be a steering wheel icon followed by an exclamation point. When i put the vehicle into "drive" and pulled forward, the steering wheel was locked and would not turn side to side. I put the vehicle into park, turned it off, and then turned it back on. The blinking light was no longer activated, and the vehicle turned normally. I drove approximately 1/4 of a mile and was in traffic traveling straight when the blinking light came back on (same icon) and the steering locked up. I was traveling at a low speed and was able to turn the vehicle onto a side street where i was able to park it and call a tow truck.upon some research in ram truck forums online, it appears possible this is related to the "eps" (electronic power steering) module on the truck. Other ram owners have experienced this same malfunction while driving, sometimes resulting in accidents. My experience appears similar to that of others who have described the intermittency of this issue. That very intermittency is what makes this such a dangerous issue that the manufacturer should be addressing proactively. I will not put my family back into this vehicle until the issue is id'd and repaired by the manufacturer.
Trailer brake warning came on and it automatically shut off my cruise control. I just had the brakes redone a couple of months ago. This has happened before, and it usually after a recall for code updating is done. I was on a 4 lane highway doing 70mph when this happened.
The contact owns a 2014 dodge ram 1500. While driving approximately 50 mph, the brakes engaged independently without warning. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
This has happened on a multitude of occasions. While driving the vehicle, the check engine light, the traction control light will both come on. At the same time as the lights the messages show up and say to service shifter knob, then right after that the service trailer brake system message shows up and will be the only message found in the messages folder. The check engine light and the traction control light stay on. When trying to get the traction control light to go out by pressing the traction control button, nothing happens. This is telling me that i do not have any traction control. This will become a major issue when it snows. Each of these instances have happened while moving both on and off the highway and while at a stop. This has happened also while on the highway about seven months ago while on the highway in the snow.
Parking brake fell apart inside rotor. Had to bend the backing plate badly just to get the rotor off. Now the backing plate scrapes rotor and both sides did this to me

I am filing a safety complaint for complete brake failureon a 2014 ram 1500.this failure isa low brake pedal condition with total loss of brakes.this is an intermittent condition at 5-50 mph . The vehiclewas purchasednewin september 2014, the first failure was found in may 2017 at 56,000 miles, this is a one owner vehicle. The vehicle was repaired at the ram dealer, henry brown automotive group,in casa grande arizona. The ram dealer determined the brake failure was caused by a faulty brake booster and master cylinder.the installation of a new brake booster and master cylinder resolved the problem.no safety recall has been issued through ram.
Brakes failed to stop vehicle. I applied brakes and had a hard peddle. I had truck towed to dealership for repair. Dealer said it was internal failure of the power brake booster check valve. Truck had 59,906 miles.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. The contact stated that the brake pedal traveled to the floor when depressed. The failure occurred numerous times. The vehicle was towed to a dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. In addition, the brake master cylinder and buster were previously replaced, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 31,539.
Left front brake worn pads / causing rotor damage at ~30,000 miles. Design issue that no warning system exist on pad worn out. On inspection right front also affected but not completely worn out. A method or system should exist to warn driver to replace pads. Dealer treats it as normal wear and tear - i believe it is part of nhtsa #16v168000 potentially using same parts from same supplier and should be a recall issue. Dealer is big o dodge in greenville sc. This vehicle had a large number of recalls already and once for wrong differential installed was out of service for longer than 3 weeks. I believe this is a lemon vehicle and should be a buy back from the dealer.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. While braking, the contact smelled oil and rubber burning. The contact stated that the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard and the vehicle barely stopped once he arrived home. The vehicle was towed to tallahassee dodge chrysler jeep ram fiat (3987 w tennessee st, tallahassee, fl 32304, (844) 280-9221) where it was diagnosed that the brake line collapsed. The failure caused the brake caliper to close down and destroy the rotor. The vehicle was repaired at the cost of $1,300 because the extended warranty had expired. The contact felt that the extended warranty was bogus, and he was mislead and lied to by the dealer. The contact felt that the dealer was very dishonest. The failure mileage was 27,387.the $1,300 was the dealer's original estimate of repair cost. See enclosed final repair bill from the dealer. The old original flexible brake lines that went bad were of such poor quality they only lasted 27,387 miles. Anything as important as a brake line, it would seem to me, should last longer than that. The new flexible brake lines are only warranted for 12,000 miles or 12 months. We were fortunate we were in town driving and under when the brakes failed.
The truck was driving on the expressway when the brakes suddenly went out. We were able to get it off the expressway and to a dealership that was right there. Suburban chrysler dodge. They inspected it and found a bolt that holds the caliper in place broke and the caliper became dislodged. It jammed into the rotor and caused all kinds of issues.
Less than 100k miles, 4 issues started, 1-fuel level sensor 2- service trailer brake system 3- anti lock brakes system- cruse control does not work.
While driving to work on a smooth straight road, the emergency information screen in my gauge cluster started flashing and stated "service power steering" "service electronic brake system" "service electronic brake controller" "service transmission" it also stated to not shift to park as shifting may become inoperable once stopped.my power steering was gone, my gas pedal was inoperable and braking was very weak.i had to muscle the truck to the side of the road and slowly come to a stop and shifted into park.i turned the key fob to off and let it sit for a few minutes.when i tried to restart the vehicle it would not even attempt to turn over.now, my key fob was also stuck in the ignition and would not turn to the off position to remove the key.i called chrysler roadside assistance and sat on hold for 55 minutes before the first person answered the phone.after 10-15 min we had a tow truck set up but that wouldn't be there for another 75 minutes.so from the time i called to when the tow truck actually arrived it was almost 2.5 hours!good thing it wasn't the middle of winter. They replaced the ignition module. That wasn't the problem.then they thought it was the bcm.that didn't work as they now "only have communication with half of the vehicle".i'm still not sure what that means but that's where we are at day 7.i do not want this vehicle back.i do not feel safe driving it if the service department has no idea how to properly fix it or even know if they have properly fixed it with their guess and check methods.if i had been traveling at higher speeds or pulling a trailer when this happened, the outcome could have been disasterous!or even worse if my wife had been driving in 4wd and lost power steering there is no way she could have pulled the vehicle over safely.huge safety concern that i want no part of.this is on top of the 5+ recalls.
The contact own a 2014 dodge ram 1500. The contact received a notification for recall nhtsa campaign number: 14v392000 (brakes). 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 manufacturer was not aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.
Truck when placed in park has rolled away from me into the roadway on more then5 occasions. Truck was parked and the parking break was in-gauged t, keys where not in the vehicle and this occurred more then 5 minutes after the truck was parked.
Me and my family (my wife & 2 kids: my oldest is 7 & my youngest is 3) were on a fishing trip. When returning to the boat launch, i backed my boat trailer into the water with my truck. The back tires of my truck are about 2 feet away from the water. I put my truck in park and set my emergency brake. My wife and youngest son got into the truck and began to buckle their seat belts as i set my boat onto the trailer. My oldest stayed on the land. After about 5 minutes of my truck motor running, while still in park, and with the emergency brake on. My wife, who is sitting in the passenger seat, hears somewhat of a pop noise and my truck starts backing into the water. My wife and youngest son are now racing to get out of their seat belts as the truck is starting to slowly sink. Once my wife grabs our son and sits him by her, i am able to get to the door they are by and i am pulling on the door, in water that is up to my chin deep, as she is kicking the door and holding the handle of the door. The door opens and i grab my son and wife and we swam to the boat launch. It is unknown of where the pop noise came from. My wife said it sounded like the emergency brake was released. My tragedy is still under investigation. I have no records as of yet like my police report. It is still being handled with the police department. As of pictures, i have one that i am trying to get from the guy who came tow my truck. I will have all these documents within the next few days.
When it is cold and raining, and the truck reaxhed 55 mph, the truck will jerk hard and the abs light and traction control light will come on and stay on. The dash will light up with the message, "anti-lock brake system service needed" and "4wd temporarily unavailable."
I pulled up in my driveway. I shifted my gear into park. I took my foot off of the break open the door & step out of the truck at that time the truck started to roll away. The driver side door hit me in the back, the driver side tire rolled over my left ankle 1st i then fell to the ground while i was laying on the ground the same tire rolled over my right ankle. The truck then jumped the curb & ran into a wall with my grandmother inside of the truck.
After returning home from a brief trip approximately 20 mi i came home,i then left my house driving approximately 3 mi when i was in the middle of a busy intersection, as i started to go through the intersection my truck suddenly died i was able to coast through the intersection, with no power steering and no assisted power brakes, using a lot of force i was able to bring the truck to a complete stop, on the edge of a busy road while i waited for help to arrive. I called a tow truck and had the vehicle towed to a local dealership, they told me a part that was called a tone wheel had failed. After doing a bit of online searching i see that this is a fairly common problem amongst these ram eco-diesels. Upon further investigation i find that certain eco-diesels ranging from 2014 to 2018 were being recalled for this part but my particular 2014 is not included the part is a wheel that a sensor looks at and times the fuel system with the other engine components for combustion when this sensor doesn't see the wheel it does not know where the rest of the engine is in its cycle causing it to shut off immediately giving it no power to propel itself to a safe spot. The recall w58 as it's known in fcaram trucks should fix this issue with a simple program change whereas the dealer wants to replace the part with a exact replacement which will likely have the same problem the next time we may not be so lucky. My fear is that if my wife or my teen age son would be driving it, they may not have had the strength to steer it and stop in a safe place i believe i was lucky. As i understand it the recall is a simple program change and eliminates the defective tone wheel system in question . I believe the recall should apply to my truck and proves that they know that they have a problem with this system.
In my driveway, while backing up, left rear brake pad simply fell out of the brake onto the driveway.brake pedal went to the floor. Truck wouldn't stop until brake pumped back up.. Dealer says "this happens".really?there was no accident; no impact; no effort at self-repair or parts replacement.it just fell out. Frightening.
While driving the 2014 ram 1500 the vehicle has lost power numerous times. This is an intermittent issue and i have not been able to duplicate on the spot. This means that the lose of power can happen at any given time. This lose of power will result in losing steering and sometimes braking, since all are controlled by electronics. These occurrences have happened while normal driving conditions; rolling up windows, turning on bright lights, and just driving.
Approaching a stop sign, i step on the brakes then vehicle went into a slow coast mode. ( a red sign turned on, indicating an "electrical brake"issue). Then indicates "switch gear to park", soon after proceeded as normal. The next day as i was stop on a drive thru, same indication occur, engine power went off then "electrical brake" , next thing was "switch gear to park" resuming to normal operation.very concern about this it is my only form of transportation to and from doctors visit, it has about 46,000 miles on it, very well taken care of. Would not want it to fail on me at a middle of an interception. In between these events, their is no light that appears. Is this a recall issue that can be address immediately please thank you.
Breaks went out on the freeway.
The parking brake on my 2014 dodge ram 1500 has failed.it decompresses all the way to the floor and the truck jolts forward as a result in order for it to stop fully and put the vehicle in park.
Won't brake properly and have no traction control both abs and traction lights stay on..transmission sometimes don't shift properly for a new vehicle.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. While driving approximately 60 mph and attempting to pass another vehicle in the next lane, the contact depressed the accelerator pedal. The pedal traveled to the floorboard and did not release, causing the vehicle's speed to increase to approximately 80 mph. The contact depressed the brake pedal in attempt to slow down the vehicle; however, it failed to slow down until the contact deactivated the cruise control and depressed the brake pedal. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road, placed the gear in park, and turned off the vehicle. The brake and electronic throttle failure warning indicators illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to suburban chrysler dodge jeep ram of troy (located at 1790 maplelawn dr, troy, mi 48084, 248-585-8800) where it was diagnosed that the throttle body failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and provided case number: [xxx]. The approximate failure mileage was 72,500.*tp'parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'
Truck lost all abs break controls, speedometer stopped working and vehicle became stuck in park. The abs module and abs motor were saturated in water. Found recall on dodge journey which matches my issue. Seems like ram needs to look into issue. Truck has 44246 miles
The contact owns a 2014 dodge ram 1500. The contact statedwhile driving 50 mph, she applied the brakes and the vehicle pulled to the left, almost crashing into another vehicle. The failure recurred twice. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who was unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was unavailable.

Numerous electrical problems, blowing fuses, blowing light bulbs, and radio issues. I had to replace three fuses and have only had the brand new vehicle despite it was on the dealers lot with 5 miles on it when i test drove it. In a years time i have had to replace one head light build, one right brake tail light bulb. Had to replace the three brake light due to leaking. I am getting ready to have the third radio replaced by dealer. The dealer has had to also work on the rear window twice which was leaking severally, and the dealer has also replaced the shark fin satellite antenna once. I am also starting to see driver's side window moving roughly not smooth as others three windows still are smooth operation. I have also had five recalls serviced and assumed to have been fixed or maybe they are causing these or other issues!
On 13 may i was coming to a metered light when a lane splitter caused me to hard brake to avoid the splitter. My truck, with no prompting from me shut off. I was nearly rear ended by a semi behind me. On 6 june i was coming to a light and nearly stopped and my truck shut off. On 7 july i was coming to a stop at a stop light and my truck shut off. Each time this happens the truck turns off, the turn dial flashes "p" (as it is currently in d). I put the truck in p, turn the ignition back on, place turn dial into d and drive. Each time carl burger dodge says that my truck doesnt "code" and they cant recreate the issue. I provided them with video's of what happens that i found on youtube and thats when they started a "star" case with chrysler main. My chrysler customer care assistance admits there is an issue saying "the tech's are working on it" but then says the best they can do is "give me 3 free years of oil changes". I am a disabled veteran and i have reached lemon law status but carl burger is not doing anything and chrysler says its carl burgers responsibility to take my truck back but carl burger says its chryslers. This truck is going to get me killed. There is another reported case in chula vista, ca and chrysler also gave them 3 free years of oil changes just like they did with me. Your recall didnt include this year/make and model and it cant just be my truck, there is a dodge forumn that has this issue on the entire thread but since no customers vehicles "code" chrysler is keeping this quiet, i think they really have no idea what it is. Carl burger says they cant keep taking my truck apart but "we believe you". Please look into this.
Tipm (totally integrated power module) failure. Dealership fails to honor vehicle warranty and is not replacing the defective part under full bumper warranty. This 1 part causes many issues to the entire vehicle and major road safety issues. I have tried many attempts with dealer and manufacturer directly to have this warranty part repaired and they fail to honor such repairs. I see online that this exact part has many known issues and problems for many similar people. This 1 part affects all problems above because all these parts are electrically controlled.

The contact owns a 2014 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to a dealer. After the vehicle received three recall repairs, it began experiencing various failures. The contact indicated that the dealer was notified more than five times and refused to provide a remedy to repair the vehicle. The contact mentioned that the instrument cluster failed to work causing various warning indicators to randomly flash while the vehicle was in operation. There was also a steering failure in which the cruise control failed to work and water entered the vehicle due to the seals not being correctly installed after the recall repairs. The contact indicated that the failures were getting progressively worse. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The nhtsa campaign numbers were unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000.
I got into my truck to leave from work. When i started the engine, the "battery voltage low" warning instantly came on. Just a few seconds later, the "service power steering" warning came on as well. At this time the radio shut off. My truck then said: "battery saver mode" was on, and the radio came back on. The power steering was completely off/not working, so i was very grateful that i was sitting in the parking lot and not driving while this happened as it could've caused a major accident! i limped along slowly with my flashers on, to an autozone to have them check my battery. They were very busy, so even though my battery was less than a year old, i simply bought a brand new one to see if it fixed the problem with both the battery (which should not have been a problem at all) but more importantly, the power steering failure. Thankfully, i had a nearly straight shot to get home, but it was very hard to steer the truck, and i'm a big guy, so for the average person, they would have most likely had to call a tow truck. I have started it up every day since then which was 5 days ago, and i have absolutely no power steering at all. This should never happen on a vehicle...never. And i had zero problems with it, so why would it just fail for no apparent reason? there must be a recall for this; please advise. Thank you.
Complete failure of the electric power steering assist.
The air suspension has not been working properly for well over a year now it intermittently goes down to the bump stops and could cause a serious injury to persons in other vehicles plus my own because any bump that your hit cause the truck to bounced losing traction with the road and that even means when slowing down the traction control abs bricks in and cause the wheels to not lock up ,, also the truck can't hold the load if and in the bed cussing unsafe handling around corners andthrew traffic
Power steering has just stopped working while i was taking the exit to get on the highway
Electronic power steering system goes out with no prior warning while driving, leading to locking and difficulty to turn wheel.
'takata recall' electrical power went out in my 2014 dodge ram 1500. Went to the dealership, they replaced the pdc for $737.69 and a day after the power steering stopped while driving and almost crashed into several cars. *dt *dtvehcile was repaired.
Vehicle electronic power steering failure
Cuando me disponia a salir de mi residencia, enciendo el vehiculo ,sale un aviso con el simbolo de un volante o guia y decia dar serv direccion hidraulica y el volante se puso duro y no se pueda casi jirar.' when i left my home (residence) i started the vehicle, i saw a warningsymbol indicating a steering wheel or guide and it said to give service ,to hydraulic steering wheel,and the steering wheel became hard and almost unable to turn it'.
Traveling west on i-4, orlando, fl between sand lake road and exit to 528e at 1:25 pm in left hand lane. As i attempted to change lanes to the right i accelerated slightly and felt a "thump" (the only way i can describe it) through the steering wheel and the truck suddenly accelerated and fish tailed. I lost control for that instant and my truck struck the vehicle to my left in the rear by the tail lights on the passenger side. I was able to regain control of my truck and pull to the side of the road as did the other vehicle. My complaint centers on why the truck suddenly accelerated; what was the "thump" that i felt; is there a problem with the transmission (new design for 2014) and the rear differential; what would cause this sudden acceleration? have there been other complaints of this nature on this or other chrysler models? please respond asap.
Air bag light on for two months,had a tech look at itclock spring kit sensor bad ,he said odd as truck is still pretty new, safety concern it controls deployment of air bag,controls horn, cruise control,and engine interface functions:or oil pressure,oil temp,tire pressure display ,the fact that the spring semester can control that many safety features and fail. In less than five years is of need to investigate as repairing is only dealer part and cost is. Cost prohibited as most safety features should have a ten year lifetime at least.a refrigerator does and it runs 24/7.
While driving on the freeway, the steering started to get almost un-steerable and stiff. Dealer says complete steering system needs to be replaced. Truck is only 4 1/2 years old and is very well maintained. *dt *dt
Electric power steering assistant at low slow speeds cuts in and out making it difficult to handle the truck. Truck has 51,000 miles only and is a 2014 i see that there is a recall for the same issue on a year later model of the truck but not on my vehicle.
The truck has loss of power steering occasionally at low speeds. There was safety recall for the electronic power steering and i have been told by the dealership that they will not fix the problem under the safety recall because this vin number is not on the nhtsa safety recall list. I need this fixed. This is a defective part installed from the manufacturer and they knowthat the eps is faulty. Reference number rc-vb9-19. Safety recall number vb9/nhtsa 19e-077 electric power steering, chrysler : all modles
In early 2018 i started to notice that the steering on my truck would "gum up". As you started to make a turn the steering would be fine but then as you continued through the turn it would take more effort to turn the wheel. It never completely locked up but then go back to normal. To me it seemed that the power steering pump was failing or low on fluid. When i checked i found that there is no pump but an electronic motor assist for the steering. I took the vehicle to the dealer for regular service and they checked it out but said that they could not duplicate my complaint. I tried to investigate when it would happen but there was no common thing. On april 14th i was driving on an interstate highway and noticed thateven while tracking in a straight line the truck steering would gum up .as long as i think about it i don't worry but i am afraid that it will fail completely. I took it directly to the dealer and they had no one to look at it. I took it backto dealer on the 17th but again i could feel it going but nothing while i had the mechanic in the truck. Sometimes i can feel it while stationary and just turning the wheel. I have noticed that it goes away on rainy days. Almost like the steering is getting lubricated but once the weather is dry for a few days the gummy feeling comes back.the dealer did say that the electronic power steering unit did not look like it was leaking but when i was underneath the truck i saw that the rubber boots on both sides of the unit appeared to be stained (see pix)
I was driving along on route 220 near lock haven pa in which they are doing construction there is uneven payment pot holes etc i was doing 45 mph at the time due to construction zone when i hit a pot hole i heard a loud pop noise so i immediately pulled over looked at my truck didn't see anything so i continued driving apon arriving at my home ten mile up the road i noticed steering was funny once in my driveway i looked over my truck again to my surprise i found a crack on the knuckle at the upper ball joint the knuckle had cracked right at the upper ball joint on the casting seam i called dealership and they said they haven't heard of such a thing after hrs of arguing with them to fix it i had it towed to the dealership where they had the truck for a week and told me it wasn't covered under warranty keep in mind i only had the truck for 2-3 months and it should of been covered i know dodge has had issues in the past with suspension problems and i find it a great concern as this could of caused a serious crash very disappointed with dodge at this point i'd rather not even keep the truck as i feel it's not very safe
Steering wheel doesn't lock and sensor is also causing cruise control to malfunction. This could be unsafe if that sensor controls anything else
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle loss power steering assist without warning and became difficult to steer. The contact stated that added effort was needed to maneuver the vehicle. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed due to the pandemic. Victory chrysler dodge jeep ram (64 greensburg st, delmont, pa 15626) was contacted and informed of the failure. The contact was informed of a tsb regarding the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not subjected to a recall. The failure mileage was 43,000. The vin was not included.
Steering wheel sticks on both left and right turns . Spoke to my mechanic he advised there is a known issue on ram trucks with the electronics on the power steering . He told us there are multiple recalls on this issue between 2013 and 2020. I called chrysler and all they would tell me is my vin is not under the recall . Told me to fix my truck and if it falls under the recall at any time they will reimburse me . I don't 2800 dollars to pay for it ..
Lost electrical power steering cannot steer truck
I have an alignment issue with vehicle that is causing feathering of right front tire that has not/cannot be corrected by alignment in two attempts to date. Dealing with manufacturer customer care, my assigned case number is 26625890. Manufacturer has now suggested a road force balance of all four tires, after two alignments have failed to correct feathering problem. Have monitored heat buildup on that tire in relation to the other three and find heat buildup exceeds 110 degrees above other three. Have also discovered three other trucks of same manufacturer, model that are exhibiting same problem, one owner also has open case with customer care as well, his case number is 26745473. We both seem to be getting nothing but lip service from dealers and not much more from manufacturer, with no sincere effort to get to root cause of problem.i believe that this condition extends to more trucks than mine, and warrants further investigation. It appears based on my dealings with manufacturer and dealers that they are not only unable to correct problem, i think they are unaware that a problem even exists. My concern on this issue is safety related, having a fear of a catastrophic tire failure, due to heat and tire pressure build up, as well as feathering as indication of a suspension problem. This issue causing abnormal forces being applied to right front tire.i have all alignment records and dealer service orders available for your review. I have contacted you in compliance with manufacturer recommendations found in lemon law and owners booklets provided by manufacturer.
Drove my vehicle and then parked for one hour.got back in and started it.indicator light flashing for the steering wheel.i realized i could not turn my wheel.the power steering was out.i turned the vehicle on and off several times, and it "reset" itself and the indicator light was no longer flashing or lit up.steering seemed fine as before.i drove it to the local dodge dealership(safford dodge in salisbury, md)to see if they could check it out; mechanic came out and said it was electric power steering, he had seen this before, and it was unsafe to drive it any further.i felt uncomfortable driving it back home or to any other garage, as it was subject to going in and out.they are currently repairing the "power steering gear rack," at a cost of $2500.i am thankful this did not go out while i was driving- i would have been unable to turn the wheel and could have caused a serious accident to my vehicle and/or others.i looked this up online and found over 100 similar complaints involving power steering issues in dodge rams.i am currently at approx 74,400 miles and have not previously had any issue with my power steering prior to monday.i am available to be contacted any time. I do not yet have any paperwork from the dealership regarding the repair as it is still there, but i can scan it and send it to the appropriate person once i get something from them.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. The contact stated that there was an abnormal grinding sound when the steering was turned to the right. The steering wheel was turned to the center and the sound was no longer evident. The vehicle was towed to vann dodge chrysler jeep ram located at (899 s.

The electric power steering failed on the truck at 60,000 miles.there was no power steering on the truck.it was determined the control module failed but was not replaceable by itself since the entire steering rack unit is sealed so i had to replace the entire rack.this issue has been seen in other model years of this truck and ram actually issued a recall on only 440 2016 models under recall s19 and nhtsa campaign 16v167000.this is a faulty design and can obviously be very dangerous losing power steering while driving.ram refused to reimburse or pay for any part of the new steering rack. Consumer had it repair and is drivable.updated 8/16/18
At 124000 miles, electric steering is going out. Not seeing any recalls on my 2014 ram 1500. I do see several reports of the same. Dodge needs to do something before someone gets seriously injured or killed.
Vehicle has just under 77k miles on it, powertrain warranty expired end of february due to time restraint before reaching the 100k miles limit (7yr/100k mile on a certified used) vehicle purchased march 2016. While driving this week the power steering randomly fails causing the wheel to snap to one side, at freeway speed this could be fetal. I have read forums of several others having the same issue in the past and it costing $2,000-4,000+ to replace the esp (electronic power steering). Part is not fixable without replacement and under 100k miles should not be having this issue. Extremely dangerous if this would've happened at freeway speed, i had the first occurrence while turning a corner at approx 25mph nearly sending me off the road. Restarted the vehicle and problem went away leading me to believe it may be a one time software glitch. Vehicle had no problems for the next couple days and now the steering has repeatedly failed causing me to be unable to drive it.
Vehicle lost all power steering multiple times while driving, completely unable to steer the truck. Red eps light illuminated on the dashboard.unable to reset by restarting truck, or disconnecting the battery.cost over $2500 to have entire electronic power steering rack replaced. Concern happened while sitting still, and while driving down the road.
While driving my vehicle on a limited access highway the steering wheel suddenly pulled violently to the right. I was driving in the right hand lane and the vehicle made a extreme turn to the right striking the guardrail. The vehicle then rebounded off the railing causing the rear bumper to strike the railing. The vehicle then rebounded into the driving lanes before i could regain control. I then pulled the vehicle onto the shoulder of the roadway to survey damage. At that time i noticed the electronic stability control fault light was illuminated on the dash. Since this was a one vehicle accident with no injuries i did not contact emergency services. At the time of the accident i was driving 60 mph. The posted speed limit on the roadway. Additionally there were rain showers in the area and the roadway was wet, there was no pooling of water at the accident site.the temperature was around 50 degrees and the ground was warm.
During cold weather in minnesota, the electronic power steering failed to respond causing my truck to go into the ditch.

The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. While driving 30 mph, the power steering failed and the power steering warning indicator illuminated. Prior to the failure, the steering ability was stiff and very hesitant. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (friendly dodge chrysler jeep located at 2499 state route 14a, penn yan, ny 14527) where it was diagnosed that the steering gear, electronic stability control, and rack and pinion needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and agreed to cover the cost due to good nature with a $200 deductible. Case number: 31759119 was provided.

Steering column whining noise problem for the last two years that dealership could not pinpoint, finally blossomed into an extremely dangerous random intermittent loss of power steering at any speed on a truck with only 73000 miles. As with many, many cases related to ram trucks and their electronic power steering problems that have surfaced, my situation is the same as many who are finding that although a recall has been issued on certain vin numbers and serial numbers pertaining to the rack and pinion and electronic gear associated with some models, that my numbers are not on the list, therefore replacement costs are somewhere in the range of $2800-$3800. It seems unfathomable that the same wide-spread problem can exist with the same exact rack and pinion system on so many trucks, but chrysler refuses to acknowledge all but a fraction of the vehicles that are currently on the road posing extremely potentially dangerous and fatal outcomes. Recall vb9 needs to be revised as an immediate no-cost replacement of all these faulty steering mechanisms.

My steering on my truck keeps failing , i've almost had 5 accidents. I replaced the eps and still doing it , there are recalls on 2015 and 2016 ram but not my 2014 which is doing the same thing
October 20, 2020 started vehicle and steering warning light came on, no power steering available. Turn vehicle off and restarted and power steering worked.next day and every day since this same issue happens but getting worse. I have to turn vehicle off andback on several times to get steering to work. Very concerned for my safety. Have heard many others have same issues. Should be recalled like 2015 and 2016 models. This could cause an accident resulting in death to end others. Its not happened when driving but afraid it will.
While driving my vehicle, on a turn in either direction my steering wheel would jerk back the opposite way. This was a sudden onset without warning. Eventually it led to barely being able to turn the truck at all. No service lights were on, dealer said that it would eventually go out and not be able to turn the vehicle. Mine is a 2014, there was a 2018 in for the same problem when i went to the dealer. Dealer had also had 4 other trucks (same model) in the shop within the last few weeks and the part was on backorder. Dealer had no information on a recall but if this is happening in 2018 models and the dealer has them in to be worked on in large numbers this clearly says there is something going on. It is unsafe and dangerous to be driving not knowing when it is going to lock up. I know my truck has over 100,000 miles but there are 2018 in there that barely have any on them.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. While the vehicle was stopped at a median and proceeding to make a left turn, the steering wheel seized. The vehicle drove into a ditch.

Steering suddenly stopped working without warning.there were no warning lights or problems.i was luckily just leaving work and only going about 10 mph.
Had steering harness recall down. Now clockspring gone out. Horn cruise control evic screen frozen. Dealer did recall reports not covered.
I was driving to work about to make a right turn when my power steering stopped working and an indicator light came on. Lucky i was stopped at a light so i was able to safely pull over to the side of the road.
Backing out of parking spot when driver side lower control arm shattered. Wheel was unable to support the weight of the truck or any steering movements without causing further damage to the suspension or truck body. Cause was a defect in the aluminum molding.
I was driving my truck down the highway at about 70 mph when a engine light came on and the truck just stopped working. It completely stalled,it was difficult to steer, but luckily i was able to pull over safely.i looked up the warning light and it said it had to do with the crank shaft sensor.the truck would not turn over and i had to have it towed. My truck has now been sitting at a dodge dealership for 2 months and they are saying it will be another month until they might get the crankshaft sensor in needed to fix it. Here is the thing, dodge is well aware of the problem.a problem that is so wide spread they literally do not have anymore parts to fix it. They have a recall for it for vehicles manufactured in the us with a work around until they get parts made but because my truck was manufactured in canada they refuseto put my vin in with the recall so they can use the work around. I have been in contact with dodge and have gotten no where. I have another recall that has not been fixed and they say cannot be fixed until they get the crankshaft fixed. This other recall they have known about for over a year and they would tell me to take it on the highway and drive it. Now they are telling me what a fire hazard this recall is.
After washing my vehicle was pulling out the car wash and lost all steering assist. Check vehicle to local dealer was told of no recalls for this year of vehicle but there is a recall for the 2015 ram 1500 with the same issue and same exact part. Cost to repair somewhere in the neighborhood of $2,400.
Power steering control module is failing intermittently in cold temperatures. So far, the failures have all been on startup, but it is getting progressively worse. The module has failed 8 times now, rendering the power steering non-functional. The ram dealership has verified the computer system code indicating the failure. The truck has 32,000 miles and ram is refusing to replace it under warranty. They insist that it must fail completely before they will replace it. This is clearly a defective part, and it is clearly a safety issue. Ram customer service has acknowledged that it is a safety issue and that they are potentially endangering lives, and yet they refuse to do the warranty work. I see other reports here of these units failing while the vehicle is in motion, causing a crash. For ram to insist that it fails completely means they are risking a crash to save a few dollars on warranty work. I don't know how that can even be legal.

The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 15 mph, the vehicle abruptly jerked to the left while attempting to make a right turn. The steering ceased with several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact regained control of the vehicle. The contact spoke to mike perry motor company (3828 south st, nacogdoches, tx 75964) where he was informed to take the vehicle to the dealer for a diagnostic test. The manufacturer had yet to be informed of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was 120,000. The vin was unavailable.
While driving to work on a smooth straight road, the emergency information screen in my gauge cluster started flashing and stated "service power steering" "service electronic brake system" "service electronic brake controller" "service transmission" it also stated to not shift to park as shifting may become inoperable once stopped.my power steering was gone, my gas pedal was inoperable and braking was very weak.i had to muscle the truck to the side of the road and slowly come to a stop and shifted into park.i turned the key fob to off and let it sit for a few minutes.when i tried to restart the vehicle it would not even attempt to turn over.now, my key fob was also stuck in the ignition and would not turn to the off position to remove the key.i called chrysler roadside assistance and sat on hold for 55 minutes before the first person answered the phone.after 10-15 min we had a tow truck set up but that wouldn't be there for another 75 minutes.so from the time i called to when the tow truck actually arrived it was almost 2.5 hours!good thing it wasn't the middle of winter. They replaced the ignition module. That wasn't the problem.then they thought it was the bcm.that didn't work as they now "only have communication with half of the vehicle".i'm still not sure what that means but that's where we are at day 7.i do not want this vehicle back.i do not feel safe driving it if the service department has no idea how to properly fix it or even know if they have properly fixed it with their guess and check methods.if i had been traveling at higher speeds or pulling a trailer when this happened, the outcome could have been disasterous!or even worse if my wife had been driving in 4wd and lost power steering there is no way she could have pulled the vehicle over safely.huge safety concern that i want no part of.this is on top of the 5+ recalls.
Yesterday while rounding corner on highway vehicle steering wheel suddenly did not want to turn felt like it was binding up. Had to use both hands pulling hard on wheel to make corner and then the wheel did not center on its own. I went out of my lane of traffic fortunately no one was in the other lane. Steering returned to normal for.a few minutes then it happened again on exit ramp.it has happened on and off multiple times. There is no warning before it happens and electric assist warning light has never activated when this has occurred. I am currently at local repair shop having the truck looked at. In the past i owned a toyota pickup without power steering and this is 20 timesmore difficult to control when losing the electric assist. This happens on the highway at highway speeds as well as on city streets.if can happen on just gentle bends in the roadway at highway speeds or low speed turns.the steering is just as difficult to move no matter the speed when it occurs.steering wheel feels like it's stuck but will move with a lot of force from both hands. I almost hit the curb at low speed on the way to the repair shop this morning.
At first intermittent power steering loss but now complete failure
When driving on the florida turnpike at 70mph when the power steering assist shut off. I pulled off, restarted the engine and it was working against. Checked the fluid levels and everything was ok.no more incident that trip. Took to the dealer who diagnosed a faulty power steering module in the eps. Required replacement if the entire steering rack. *dtinvalid vin

This truck wobbles at speeds of 80 miles per hour.
Power steering went completely out on my 2014 dodge ram 1500.it locked up on me and almost caused a crash.fortunately i was able to avoid that.i don't understand why dodge has no recall on this as the more i read about it, it was common issue on 2013,2014 and 2015"s model year.to me this is a definite safety issue.when it locks up you cannot steer the vehicle.
I have a 2014 ram 1500 5.7l sportand over a year it started losing power steering. I turn on the vehicle and have to wait 5 to 10 minutes for the eps to activate. It started doing this all on its own one day. A message appears that says service eps. I have read and this seems to be a problem with this vehicle, but for some reason there is no recoll on it. And the dealer wants to charge me over $3,000 to fix this. Can some one help me with this.
February of 2019 i was driving my 2014 ram 1500 3.6liter 4x4 to work. When coming down an on ramp my vehicle would not turn back to the right. I had to muscle the steering to try and turn right before causing an accident. The steering suddenly turned right sharply sending my vehicle hard right into the ditch. There was no warning lights or maintance warning lights on the dash. I was accelerating when all of this happened and let off once the truck refused to respond. The fact that later models are being addressed and yet 2014 owners are reporting the issue as well is pure neglect.
Today is july 10, 2015. The vehicle is 2014 dodge ram 1500 crew cab pickup purchase new. On the steering wheel where the horn and airbag are located the seam cracked or separated starting just below the letter "s" stamped on it for srs airbags and if you are sitting in the drivers seat and looking at the wheel the crack or separation continues from that point and runs straight to the right and up to the end of the cover for the srs airbag in the steering wheel. When the horn is pressed the casing which is cracked or separated scratches you or your fingers get stuck or caught inside the opening. The dealer stated that because the mileage is over the 3 year 36000 mile warranty it would not be covered. However, if we agreed to have additional maintenance done today unrelated to the free oil change they would cover the cost to repair the defect. Please note the dealer confirmed it was a manufactured defect. I contacted chrysler and filed a complaint with them.

Dodge ram steering recall alert- this same situation happened to me in my model 2014 dodge ram 1500 big horn. Recall needs to be extended the nut holding the steering knuckle and right control arm separated while driving. I felt a huge pop and jerk of the steering wheel. Luckily i was traveling at a low rate of speed. I took to suncoast dodge dealer immediately, he said i was lucky i could if i was on the freeway which i was shortly before. He said he has never seen a nut fall off before, but it did and, could rolled and caused serious accident. I was charged for repair and picked up truck today 2/5 then saw recall for this exact situation released today by chrysler fiat, but my vehicle was notincluded.
When the temperature outside gets below freezing, the steering wheel locks up and will not turn, while the vehicle is stationary. The service power steering message will appear. If the vehicle is warmed up for up several minutes, then turned completely off until the display lights turn off; then restart the engine, the vehicle will reset itself, and will to work normally again.
While driving down the street and making a left hand turn, the wheel felt hard to turn, but then was fine after that, about 5 minutes later getting onto the highway the wheel got tight again, and while merging onto the highway the wheel was extremely difficult to turn. Taking an exit and making a right hand turn i had to use all of my effort to turn and straighten back out. Felt like the wheel was going to lock up. Making turns the rest of the way back home was very difficult. The eps system will turn back on when the wheels are about 3/4 of the way turned, and turn back off making the turn very difficult then briefly easy. But when i washaving to use my body to turn and then eps kicks back on imade a violent turn and had a very hard time getting back strait and in my lane
Electric power steering rack is going out, making it difficult to drive on highway, almost causing a crash.
I was driving at high speed on the expressway and my electrical power steering quit working. I ran off the road and into the ditch because the truck was too hard to control without the power steering.i could have crashed into someone or injured myself. This is a very dangerous situation to be in if you are driving at any speed. If my wife had been driving it could have been fatal. Additionally, the repairs were over $3500. I will be selling this truck as it is too dangerous for anyone to drive.sincerely, [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Sudden loss of electric power steering assist without warning or symptoms.loss of power assist made steering extremely difficult.vehicle is in an independent repair shop for an inspection and repair cost estimate.there was no warning or symptoms.failure was sudden.
I was driving my truck and all of sudden my steering locked up and a red steering wheel icon with a flashing exclamation point was on the dash board. I was unable to turn my steering wheel. When i restarted my truck it went away. The next day it did it again. Now after about a 2 weeks it the icon will not go away i can not turn my steering wheel at all. When i called the dealership they weren't aware of any issues so i called chrysler and they said that a recall wasn't available for the build date of my truck. But i've seen recalls for trucks before and after my truck. My truck has been parked for about 3 weeks because the repair price is about $2,400 dollars.
When drivingat a low speed the power steering assist shut off. The red light with the power steering symbol and ! came on. I pulled over and turned off the vehicle and restarted the engine and it was working again, u til i came to a low speed. Checked the fuse #78 and it looked ok, plugged it back in and no issue for 3 & 1/2 days , until this morning. There is a recall for this issue on ram 1500 yrs 2013 to 2019, but my vin does not register for the recall. This started monday evening.
The power steering quit working as i was pulling out of my driveway onto our street resulting in inability to steer the truck effectively. A warning light appeared & i had to look online to see what it meant as the manual did not have it. I had to have the truck towed to pueblo dodge & service advisor leslie later notified me of a $2,300 cost to repair the rack & pinion to get the electronic power steering working again. I have learned that many other people have had this problem with their 2014 ram 1500 p/u's in even more hazardous conditions on the road/street. It has about 46,000 miles on it. I am told that there is no recourse by the chrysler customer svc rep ernesha but she will file my complaint. It will not go any further than that as she says it is not worthy and out of the original warranty. Leslie says it is not part of the 100,000 mile drive train warranty. I was considering purchasing a new ram truck as well but absolutely will not based on this experience as i will apparently have to pay at least $2,300 to repair a hazardous defect in a relatively new vehicle in excellent condition otherwise. I am obviously very disappointed in this company and situation.

After returning home from a brief trip approximately 20 mi i came home,i then left my house driving approximately 3 mi when i was in the middle of a busy intersection, as i started to go through the intersection my truck suddenly died i was able to coast through the intersection, with no power steering and no assisted power brakes, using a lot of force i was able to bring the truck to a complete stop, on the edge of a busy road while i waited for help to arrive. I called a tow truck and had the vehicle towed to a local dealership, they told me a part that was called a tone wheel had failed. After doing a bit of online searching i see that this is a fairly common problem amongst these ram eco-diesels. Upon further investigation i find that certain eco-diesels ranging from 2014 to 2018 were being recalled for this part but my particular 2014 is not included the part is a wheel that a sensor looks at and times the fuel system with the other engine components for combustion when this sensor doesn't see the wheel it does not know where the rest of the engine is in its cycle causing it to shut off immediately giving it no power to propel itself to a safe spot. The recall w58 as it's known in fcaram trucks should fix this issue with a simple program change whereas the dealer wants to replace the part with a exact replacement which will likely have the same problem the next time we may not be so lucky. My fear is that if my wife or my teen age son would be driving it, they may not have had the strength to steer it and stop in a safe place i believe i was lucky. As i understand it the recall is a simple program change and eliminates the defective tone wheel system in question . I believe the recall should apply to my truck and proves that they know that they have a problem with this system.
I was driving on the highway at a speed of 70 mph when my steering wheel locked up and the "power steering failure" notification appeared on my dash. I immediately called a ram dealer and they told me i should have it towed do to it being unsafe to drive. After getting it to the dealer, they told me my power steering assembly ($2400) needed to be replaced and there isn't a recall for my truck. I contacted my warranty company and they said it would not be covered due to it being a technical service bulletin on the issue.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 50 mph, the power steering ceased with the power steering assist warning light illuminated. The vehicle became difficult to steer. After approximately one minute, the power steering returned to normal functionality. The contact stated that the vehicle was recently taken to crown dodge of fayetteville (436 n. Mcpherson church rd, fayetteville, nc 28303, (910) 672-6765) and received a multipoint inspection. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 61,000.
I have a 2014 ram with around 48k miles. Back in february while driving i lost steering. Luckily, i was able to get out of the way of a oncoming vehicle. I had my truck towed due to the safety issue of not being able to steer into my normal service dealer. They replaced the alternator stating that was the issue that made the truck lose steering. Since then i have taken the truck back a few times with steering issues and they are not able to 'duplicate' the issue so cannot fix it. This past friday 11/15/2019 i went to leave my house and once again while i was driving the truck it lost steering and this time power dropped. I again had it towed into the service dealer on 11/18/2019. Today 11/22/2019 they stated that again they could not duplicate the issue. They did find error codes about voltage but however stated that the computer 'fixed itself' and cannot fix the steering issues. With all this i love my truck, however with the with the safety of myself, my family, and others on the road in mind driving this truck while the steering can possibly go out at any time is not a good idea by any means.
Was driving home from church with my children in the truck when the dash lights flashes. It said battery power saver mode and then service electronic power steering. And then i started to drift towards the ditch.was able to pull my truck off the road but it couldā€™ve been an accident.i called my husband and he came to look at it.he happened to be at oā€™reilleyā€™s when i called him so he picked up some things and came to figure it out.after learning their is no steering fluid and doing some online research he checked the fuses.put his code reader on it and no codes.turn the truck back on the light was gone and steering was fine.we decided he would follow me home.drove 12 miles and had no steering again.my truck has 98,000 miles on it. Iā€™ve already had the rear main seal/ exhaust manifold redone (dealer warranty), entire rear including calipers, brakes, ball joints, wheel bearings, and tie rods redone (dealer warranty), and the rear brakes including calipers out of my own pocket twice!!iā€™ve only had the truck for two years.plus a few other miscellaneous electronic issues for my electrical ports, radio and dash lights, traction control, heated seats, and electronic braking system.
Head on collision, that caused entire front frame to be replaced and air bags did not deploy.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. While driving 50 mph, the contact attempted to turn the steering wheel to the right, but it seized without warning.

Parked the truck and went into the grocery store, came back out and started the truck. Then i noticed the steering wheel with an exclamation cautionāš ļø¸ light was on and had no power steering. Drove 5 minutes to my house and parked it. This could have been fatal if i was driving and the power steering had went out then. It's time to get this item recalled before someone looses their life!
The contact owns a 2014 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated while driving various speeds, the vehicle would drift from side to side. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician diagnosed that the vehicle was out of line but they were unable to alter it. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The failure and current mileage was 6,500.... Updated 03/24/14
The vehicle was being driven home from work, when the truck went into battery saver mode and the power steering stopped working. I was moving forward and the steering became almost impossible to control. I am 6'2 and in good shape, so i manhandled the steering to control the vehicle, and i got the vehicle to turn, barely missing 2 parked cars. If i wasnt strong enough to turn the wheels, there would have been damage to property and parked cars. The only light to come on was "battery saver mode" on the driver info screen.problem was a faulty battery, but in same hand, there should be a better system in the steering if the power fails in the vehicle.this problem happened in canada, but there is much better response to dealing with issues from this organization in the usa.
Steering gear bolts became loose at 28k miles.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v021000 (steering). The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. Carl burger dodge (8355 hercules st, la mesa, ca 91942, (619) 485-1485) was contacted and 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.
While driving the 2014 ram 1500 the vehicle has lost power numerous times. This is an intermittent issue and i have not been able to duplicate on the spot. This means that the lose of power can happen at any given time. This lose of power will result in losing steering and sometimes braking, since all are controlled by electronics. These occurrences have happened while normal driving conditions; rolling up windows, turning on bright lights, and just driving.
Occasionally upon starting the vehicle, the steering wheel would be locked up and the vehicle had to be turned off, then turned back on again to correct the problem.recently, while the vehicle was stationary, the electric power steering warning light came on upon starting the vehicle.the steering wheel was locked up and very difficult to move.restarting the vehicle did not improve the problem.the vehicle was towed to a repair shop that looked up the vin and stated that the problem was covered under 'equipment safety recall vb9/nhtsa 19e-077 electric power steering gear.'the dodge/ram dealership was contacted and they claimed the parts used in the vehicle with this vin are not included in the recall.vehicle mileage is approximately 107,000 miles.the repair shop indicated that they believe the problem is with the 'eps gear, rack and pinion.'
On 13 may i was coming to a metered light when a lane splitter caused me to hard brake to avoid the splitter. My truck, with no prompting from me shut off. I was nearly rear ended by a semi behind me. On 6 june i was coming to a light and nearly stopped and my truck shut off. On 7 july i was coming to a stop at a stop light and my truck shut off. Each time this happens the truck turns off, the turn dial flashes "p" (as it is currently in d). I put the truck in p, turn the ignition back on, place turn dial into d and drive. Each time carl burger dodge says that my truck doesnt "code" and they cant recreate the issue. I provided them with video's of what happens that i found on youtube and thats when they started a "star" case with chrysler main. My chrysler customer care assistance admits there is an issue saying "the tech's are working on it" but then says the best they can do is "give me 3 free years of oil changes". I am a disabled veteran and i have reached lemon law status but carl burger is not doing anything and chrysler says its carl burgers responsibility to take my truck back but carl burger says its chryslers. This truck is going to get me killed. There is another reported case in chula vista, ca and chrysler also gave them 3 free years of oil changes just like they did with me. Your recall didnt include this year/make and model and it cant just be my truck, there is a dodge forumn that has this issue on the entire thread but since no customers vehicles "code" chrysler is keeping this quiet, i think they really have no idea what it is. Carl burger says they cant keep taking my truck apart but "we believe you". Please look into this.
While operating my 2014 ram 1500 with approximately 76000 miles the power steering went out unexpectedly and without warning. There were no dash lights or indications of any problems with the steering system. Power steering was lost immediately making it very difficult to steer and negotiate turns. I feel if this would have happened in the process of negotiating a turn it most likely would have resulted in a crash. I have not had the issue inspected or serviced at this time and no crash occurred.
Power steering comes in and out intermittently, steering will lock up and come back on intermittently. Could be a fatal hazard when comin off exit ramps at high speed and or turns or situations for steering to be consistent.
I was driving my dodge ram 1500 from milwaukee, wi to memphis, tn on a vacation. While driving at speeds in excess of 80 mph, i noticed a lot of shaking and vibrating from the steering wheel thru the entire cab of the truck. I noticed the same thing when driving back home from memphis. I had taken my truck back to the dealer at an earlier date, however the dealership stated that they didn't notice any vibrating when they drove the truck. They did share that they could not drive my vehicle at excessive speeds, however gave me the same information in my latest complaint on 7/23/2015. I shared my concerns prior to hearing about the current recall on dodge ram 1500 trucks and hope that my vehicle doesn't have any safety issues that could lead to injury.

The problem is getting worse, does this at any speed
The factory "air ride" suspension fails in cold weather. The air bags completely deflate, leaving the vehicle with no suspension. Losing all suspension ability while driving is a serious risk to life. Encountering small potholes or icy roads without suspension increases the likelihood of wrecks. The lowering of the suspension changes the steering geometry required to properly steer a vehicle on the roads. Camber, caster, and toe of the steering geometry are negatively effected and will result in increased likelihood of wrecks. I took my vehicle into the local dodge dealerships in alaska and they acknowledge the air ride suspension does not function here but cannot make repairs. I called dodge corporate line and they ask me to take it back to the same dealerships that inform me that there is no fix. Please issue a recall on the ram 1500 air ride suspension as this is a serious risk to life allowing these vehicles to operate in cold climates.

The contact stated that upon shifting gears, the transmission hesitated to change over and there was an abnormal noise. The contact also stated that the steering wheel difficult to turn. The failure mileage was not available.
While driving my truck on old ga2 a two lane county maintained gravel road. The electric power steering quit without warning when i was entering a switchback curve.the sudden loss of power steering almost forced me off the the road. It was physically all i could do to keep the truck on the road. Anyone with less upper body strength would have gone off the mountain.
I was driving my truck when the power steering service light came up and the steering went so hard i couldn't turn it, causing me to almost hit another car while turning.
I have brought my truck back to the dealership due to a rattle in my steering wheel.the rattle occurs when traveling from a standstill up to 30 miles per hour.the dealer was made aware of this situation the week that the bought the truck.it has been brought back 5 times, and each time they acknowledged that there was an issue with my steering system.they stated that they could hear the rattle, and would fix it.the first 3 times it was brought to the dealer, they sent me away stating that they corrected the issue.once i got back home, and encountered bumpy roads, the rattle was still there.the following 2 times it was at the dealership, they sent me away stating that they would not work on my vehicle any further because they did not know what was causing the rattle.they have reseated both the passenger side and drivers side air bags, they tightened a wire harness on my steering column, then they replaced my steering column coupling, and finally they replaced the entire steering column.they have no idea what they are trying to fix.they stated to me that the know there is an issue, but do not know what is causing it.this issue could very well be a safety issue, as it has to do with my steering system.my vehicle has 5000 miles on it, and has been back to the dealer ship 5 times.i have owned the vehicle for 5 months.
Electric power steering failure when cold. Once vehicle warms up it will work. Afraid the steering will fail while driving. Known problem by dodge and chrysler.2015 rams have been recalled for same issue i understand. Can't understand why 2014 is not included. Thanks for your assistance with this serious safety issue.
Failure of electric steering rack and steering control module while under way with no warning.failure is now intermittent, creating a risk of loss of vehicle loss of control and crash.
I was driving down the road going 50mph the power steering failure light came on the dash screen and the power steering completely failed. I was unable to steer the truck and was very close to hitting another vehicle. I turn the vehicle off and then back on the power steering was working again. I continue to drive down the road and once again at a speed of fifty miles per hour the steering failed completely and again i almost went down into a ditch. It has happened several different times during several different actions. It's happened while turning while going straight while on the highway and while on city streets while stationary and in motion. I have taken it to the dealer and they said the entire system needs to be replaced at a cost of $2,400. My truck only has 50,000 miles on it and should not be having any kind of an issue like this at all. It is extremely dangerous and i am actually terrified to drive this vehicle especially on the highway. This needs to be recalled on the 2014 as it is on the 2015 and 16 rams. There are postings all over the internet of people dealing with the exact same thing yet dodge has refused to do anything about it. Please help make my vehicle safe for me my passengers and other people on the road.
One morning in december of 2017, i started my parked truck in the driveway of my home and the electric steering stopped working properly at 38,000 miles. Whether you are going forward or in reverse, the steering is very hard to turn. You must slow down to 10 mph or less to be able to turn steering wheel and maintain your lane. Otherwise your turns will be to wide and cross over into opposing lane of traffic.
The steering of the wheel is rough. I have to use small movements. It's like something is stuck or no power steering fluid. Since there is no fluid, only electrical, there is something wrong with the electrical portion of the power steering pump

Power steering failure - in motion - on a city street - while turning.vehicle is out of initial warranty (still under 100k mile) - but a major component such as power steering should not be failing at 83,828 odometer miles.the entire gear rack has to be replaced and the total bill was $2735.85.customer service has yet to provide any details explaining manufacturer life expectancy of the part.this vehicle is in excellent condition and well cared for - thus the subsequent phone calls to buy my vehicle from the dodge dealership.yet, there is no acknowledgement that this part should not be failing at this early mileage or that they will help me.there was a wiring harness issue with this same vehicle that was resolved under warranty at approx 30k miles.my vehicle is paid for.

On july 11,2020,, i started my 2014 ram 1500 laramie,about noon time and steering wheel straight; i was greeted by a warning light on my dash stating 'electronic power steering service'. There was no issue prior to this at any time. Absolutely no ability to steer vehicle. Fortunately, i was not driving when this occurred. This is a major safety concern for my family and myself . I do not understand how the recall for the 2015-2016 ram does not include 2014. This is obviously an issue with earlier year models. The estimate to repair this malfunction was $2400 ! dodge needs to step up and take care of their customers complaints! no way can a recalled part on newer models not be issued for all models containing the equipment?!? it's unbelievable that someone has to lose their life before something is corrected!
I have had 2 rack pinions replaced and was just told that the this one is bad to. Stiff steering with it catching at times also service steering light on.
Since day one of buying this vehicle it has always been in the shop for air suspension problems sometimes for a few weeks at a time. Seems like no one knows how to diag the system because it was always darts thrown and no problems ever fixed, they have replaced airbags, compressor, charged the system, reprogrammed/calibrated the system and who knows how many fuses! ive gotten air suspension codes left and right with compressor temp codes... The main concern is the way this vehicle drives when it falls on bump stops and changes the camber of the tires ( has ruined a brand new set of tires due to inside tire wear on both front ) tires are screeching while driving down the road, bounces while turning and hitting small bumps... Well that just makes you feel like you got in a crash when it throws you around out of seat! thats even at lower speeds around 40-45 mph! i absolutely fear for my life driving this vehicle and at freeway speeds its just playing with the devil. Its only a matter of time before someone is killed by this horrible air suspension system! the problem is no one seems to care... Well unless it was their family member.the system was designed to fail when they put a compressor behind the right rear wheel that flings water, snow, salt and everything else on the road right at it and put some thin cover over it and say it " protects " it! i sure hope they do something before someone is killed, because its not fair to me or any other person to have to drive this vehicle and know everyday when going to work that it could be my last or someones else's last! ive given dealers shot after shot year after year, but something needs to be done about this asap
I have notifications of these various recalls and have tried to get these corrected or at least checked out at the dealership where i purchased my truck.first i was told that appointments were now required.then i was advised that 1st come/1st served was now required and full schedules are usual.now i received another notification.i care for my ram, but my time is also important.

This is really dangerous and needs to be recalled.
While turning left or right and accelrating there is a clunking noise in the front end. Brought to dealer and they said the lower steering shaft was bad and would be repaired free of charge since it was under warenty . Got a call 2 days later and was told it was the upper shaft and bearing that needed to be repaced also, so now they have my car for 4 days. I call on day 5 and they tell me it wont be ready and they would call me when it was so i do not have my truck over the labor day weekend they are closed monday labor day.

Windshield glare reflection from dash compromises visibility when driving in sunlight. Sunlight reflects off dash causing glare in windshield. Many people have complained (forums online) this has been going on for years and occurs in many vehicles. Auto manufactures need to put extremely non-reflective material on dashes to counter this. A dull dash mat really helps, proving that it can be mitigated.

Our '14 ram 1500 was bought new on 6/22/15. On 8/9/15 our new 2014 dodge ram was parked on a incline in a friends driveway. My wife and son got in the truck, started it and put it into reverse to leave. After moving only a few feet my wife noticed the hostess coming down the drive to say goodbye. She placed the truck in park, got out of the vehicle leaving the door open and walked to the front of the truck. While giving the hostess a hug, hostess exclaimed your truck is rolling away. My wife tried to run back and around the door to get in the vehicle. Before she could, the open door took down two mailboxes and 4x4 timber posts they were mounted on and opened the door beyond the spring limit pushing into the front fender and popping out the front head light. The truck rolled across the street into the neighbors yard hitting a power poll where it came to stop. The impact to the poll was strong enough to pull down power lines. Upon reaching the vehicle a male guest noted the vehicle was still in park. My 9 year old was still strapped into his seat belt and significantly shaken up though not injured. The police and utility company arrived. The officer wrote his report up as vehicle malfunction. The tow truck operator said the vehicle could be driven in its condition. He pulled back the door to as close to closed as possible and tied closed. The rear bumper and tailgate are trashed. Insurance adjuster has given preliminary estimate of $8,900. The power company has not contacted us yet about their service call. I guess very fortunate that my wife did not make it around the door as she could have been crushed between the door and two mailboxes. Also thankful the the truck went straight across the street rather than turning and going down a long hill. Have contacted ram and was promised an investigator would be in touch within 3 days. 4th day and still no contact!

Traveling west on i-4, orlando, fl between sand lake road and exit to 528e at 1:25 pm in left hand lane. As i attempted to change lanes to the right i accelerated slightly and felt a "thump" (the only way i can describe it) through the steering wheel and the truck suddenly accelerated and fish tailed. I lost control for that instant and my truck struck the vehicle to my left in the rear by the tail lights on the passenger side. I was able to regain control of my truck and pull to the side of the road as did the other vehicle. My complaint centers on why the truck suddenly accelerated; what was the "thump" that i felt; is there a problem with the transmission (new design for 2014) and the rear differential; what would cause this sudden acceleration? have there been other complaints of this nature on this or other chrysler models? please respond asap.
Vehicle was registered in park when exiting. Small child got into vehicle, started it, and pulled the shift lever all the way down into drive without needing to press the brake. Vehicle went forward 8 feet into exterior garage corner causing extensive damage to the structure it collided into. Homeowners insurance claim was filed adjustments to come with claim at a later date, no injuries, related to recall number 17v-821.
As previous recall on same model of trucks, the leak issue on the rear window or third brake is still present due to the sealant wearing off and not stopping rain from entering the cab and ruining upholstery , and eventually promoting rust from inside the cab. The vehicle can be stationary or in motion
I purchased my ram on tuesday (01/20/15).the vehicle was a left over 2014 model that had been on the dealer's lot since approximately may 2014.on thursday evening (01/22/15), after a day's rain, i opened the right-rear door and noticed that a significant amount of water had leaked through the rear window.a folded up towel, that was underneath the rear seat, was completely soaked through.the seats were wet along with the surrounding carpeted area.
My 2014 dodge ram 1500 was idling in park in the driveway for approximately 5minutes when with nobody in or near the vehicle it jumped into reverse and accelerated into a garage causing approximately $4,000 damage to the vehicle ( thank god nobody was injured or killed )
At all four roof corners there is a leak that occurs during a rain storm. The issue with this is windows get a moisture issue and impairs vission while driving also creates a mildew issue . This condition happens when it rains , while driving or sitting motionless. Road surface doesn't matter.
2012 to present ram 1500 and other model ram pickups have a defect in the roof seam sealing system allowing water to intrude through the roof at the rear of the headliner.water enters the roof at one or both corners and soaks the side curtain airbags and airbag wiring harness.today i checked and my side curtain airbags and wiring were soaked due to this leaking issue.i am fixing mine immediately on my to prevent serious injury or death due to corrosion or shorting of the wiring and water soakedairbags causing them to either deploy unexpectedly or not deploy during a crash.dealers are declining to make the repair indicating it is a cosmetic issue and vehicle owners must pay to have it fixed.this should be an immediate recall due to the high risks of serious injury and death if the airbags deploy unexpectedly on a rear passenger or worse a child and in the event of a crash, not deploy at all or deploy improperly due to being wet and/or electrical short issues.the water comes in at the roof where the rubber strips are meant to seal the roof front to back but there is still small holes that aren't sealed causing the water to get in.
Several months ago i noticed that under the rear passenger side seat was wet. Initially i believed that something had spilled. Approximately one year after i purchased my new ram 1500 i noticed that it began to smell likemildew after it rained. Yesterday i noticed that several documents on rear passenger side seat were soaked after it had rained. I then noticed several liquid droplets on my seat and the the corner of the roof above the seat was wet. I researched this issue and noticed that several people have had this issue. Some that have resolved the issue have advised that the leak is reportedly coming from the rear brake light on the cab above the rear window. After reading this my wife and i checked that brake light and discovered that it was not functioning. It is reasonable to believe that this is where the water is entering into the cab. I have only noticed the leak after the vehicle has been stationary after it has rained. With the rain rending the rear brake light non-funtional i believe that the water has damaged the wires making this fire hazard and most certainly a safety issue.
I had a air bad recall regarding the side airbags that i had fixed at adams automotive of annapolis and then on 5/07/14 i was involved in a serious motor vehicle accident due to the side curtain airbags deploying while i was driving. After the collision involving 6 cars when my side airbags deployed, none of the other front airbags deployed when they should have because of how bad the front impact was. I was injured very badly due to this and am possibly being held responsible for the accident until chrysler can confirm this is a big issue regarding the ram pickups! luckily there was no severe injuries but i now have lumbar back injuries and left shoulder injuries, not including what happened to others involved. Do i need to hire an attorney?..updated 09/14/17
The contact owns a 2014 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that the exterior paint finish was bubbling up through the base of the vehicle through the paint finish. The failure recurred several times.

Friday 6/2/17 night we received a lot of rain here in princeton,tx. The next morning i got in my pickup and noticed that the headliner was completely soaked. I checked under the back seat of my pickup and noticed that water had pooled underneath in the storage compartments as well. All of my windows were up and doors completely shut, so i knew it was nothing i did. I checked online and found a ton of threads in forums that pinpointed the culprit as being my third brake light on my cab. Apparently the seal on this fixture is sub-par and will warp and cause a gap in between the cab and the fixture itself. This is a very well documented issue affecting thousands of ram owners.
I have notifications of these various recalls and have tried to get these corrected or at least checked out at the dealership where i purchased my truck.first i was told that appointments were now required.then i was advised that 1st come/1st served was now required and full schedules are usual.now i received another notification.i care for my ram, but my time is also important.
The assist handle has a leak when rains hard.removed to see where it is leaking and there is an airbag there. It also leaks all over the floor that can eventually lead to structural issues
I pulled up in my driveway. I shifted my gear into park. I took my foot off of the break open the door & step out of the truck at that time the truck started to roll away. The driver side door hit me in the back, the driver side tire rolled over my left ankle 1st i then fell to the ground while i was laying on the ground the same tire rolled over my right ankle. The truck then jumped the curb & ran into a wall with my grandmother inside of the truck.
February of 2019 i was driving my 2014 ram 1500 3.6liter 4x4 to work. When coming down an on ramp my vehicle would not turn back to the right. I had to muscle the steering to try and turn right before causing an accident. The steering suddenly turned right sharply sending my vehicle hard right into the ditch. There was no warning lights or maintance warning lights on the dash. I was accelerating when all of this happened and let off once the truck refused to respond. The fact that later models are being addressed and yet 2014 owners are reporting the issue as well is pure neglect.

The air ride suspension in all of these trucks are failing in canadian cold climates. My truck is consistently riding on the bump stops when it's cold out causing a very rough ride that is not good for the vehicle or the passengers. Let alone the control of the vehicle is diminished with zero suspension. When it gets cold (-15 or so) i walk outside to see my trucks front end all the way lowered with the rear still at normal height. Warming up truck doesn't help. The ride height buttons just flash and warning signs sometimes display on the dash. Many people (including me) then get blown fuses or the compressor fails and then there is no fix but to go to dealer. Dodge replaced my air ride components but it did not resolve the issue. I fear for the coming year when my vehicle is out of warranty and driving with my kids and i am driving around with no suspension. There is enough people that have these same issues as i've described to warrant a recall. There are class action law suits in the usa over this issue. There is a facebook group describing these failures further. Group is called fca ram pickup air suspension failures. It is unfathomable that i am supposed to be driving around in a vehicle with my kids in a truck that i've paid many thousands of dollars for that doesn't have suspension and no help from dodge. This should be a big issue. Someone is going to have a bad accident because of this.
My truck has the "4-corner air suspension" which was standard on my model. It repeatedly fails when the temperature gets below freezing. It will typically drop the front end very low and sometimes even the rear end. This happens while parked or driving. It is terrifying to drive when this happens - bumps nearly throw you off the road and steering is unpredictable. I cannot find a dealer that is sure they can fix it, and the proposed "maybe" fixes are upwards of $2000. I cannot safely get to work some days and i never know when it will happen. This has been going on for 2 winters - when i was still under warranty the dealer told me fca has no fix and i should just ignore it until it warms up. I cannot control the climate. The most common warning indicated on the dash is "service or repair air suspension immediately" which is ridiculous since i might be hundreds of miles from home and the dealer won't repair it anyways. The second most common warning is that the payload has been exceeded. This will come up even with the truck empty.everyone i have spoken to that has this suspension reports the same scary experiences and fca has not offered a fix to any of them. I cannot afford to trade it and i cannot afford to keep it. Please help!
I bought this truck used several years ago. The air suspension on it fails randomly, especially in cold weather.i just had the air compressor replaced in it and it failed again within a week. It happens most often when stationary, but i have had it fail on the highway when going 65-70 mph. Normally the rear drivers side falls to entry exit level and other corners stay up, but i have had several combinations of front and rear corners fail.
Took truck in to hoyte dodge because it has a real bad vibration when driving. After they drove several times and balanced tires still has same problem. They drive it and say they feel nothing wrong with it. Would like some one to look into this for me. I should not be having these problems with a new truck.
My ram 1500 began having issues with the air ride suspension in the winter of 2017 and finally started to where it wouldn't raise back up when it was cold. I had the entire compressor replaced january or february of 2018. Now in november of 2018 i'm having the same issues again. The compressor is making a weird noise as well as the driver side suspension sounds like it's rubbing or something not good. It only does this once the temperature gets in the 30s or lower. Once it goes down and won't raise back up there's only about a half inch between the tire and wheel well. Not a cheap fix and definitely not worth keeping the truck if this is gonna happen every winter. Was replaced at mchugh dodge jeep in zanesville, ohio.
The first time i hade any problems with the air ride suspension was when the tempuras got below freezing. Now i can be driving down the highway and my truck will lower all the way down without any warning. This makes the truck to loos control going down the road at high speeds. I have hade it in the shop to get it fixed but it still is doing the same thing.i seen on line where other people has hade the same thing happen while driving. It will also lower its self all the waqy down to exit mode while parked at times
I have an alignment issue with vehicle that is causing feathering of right front tire that has not/cannot be corrected by alignment in two attempts to date. Dealing with manufacturer customer care, my assigned case number is 26625890. Manufacturer has now suggested a road force balance of all four tires, after two alignments have failed to correct feathering problem. Have monitored heat buildup on that tire in relation to the other three and find heat buildup exceeds 110 degrees above other three. Have also discovered three other trucks of same manufacturer, model that are exhibiting same problem, one owner also has open case with customer care as well, his case number is 26745473. We both seem to be getting nothing but lip service from dealers and not much more from manufacturer, with no sincere effort to get to root cause of problem.i believe that this condition extends to more trucks than mine, and warrants further investigation. It appears based on my dealings with manufacturer and dealers that they are not only unable to correct problem, i think they are unaware that a problem even exists. My concern on this issue is safety related, having a fear of a catastrophic tire failure, due to heat and tire pressure build up, as well as feathering as indication of a suspension problem. This issue causing abnormal forces being applied to right front tire.i have all alignment records and dealer service orders available for your review. I have contacted you in compliance with manufacturer recommendations found in lemon law and owners booklets provided by manufacturer.
Rference multiple reports forwarded to your office surrounding ram's air-ride suspension systems'.these major concerns were first reported in early 2017 after returning to alaska. An official letter was sent to the fca group-italy, fca ceo, & their board of directors surrounding these life threatening incidents.while commuting on an arctic alaskan day "-40 degrees+" my ram instantly dropped while in motion, all safety equipment became unresponsive leaving me to skid in traffic to a stop.thank god no one was hurt during this experience.the vehicle was immediately taken to gene's chrysler, after sitting for days (being told there is no fix for this), fca was officially notified.gene's chrysler servicing agents stated that these issues where reported to fca but they don't know what to do about it.i asked why we were not informed by all the dealership servicing agents from colorado to washington to alaska when our ram was taken in for the many recalls?after days of sitting, the dealership servicing agents stated that a technician team had visited alaska a few months ago and they wanted to try something.a list of parts where exchanged, fuses replaced, and codes reset.after a few test drives they stated the vehicle should be good for awhile but they were not sure if this would permanently fix these issues.asking if the vehicle was completely safe (vehicle transports personnel for school & ministry) to operate, we were told they were not 100% sure but if the issue returned, bring it back to them immediately. Time and time again, the dealership servicing team stated that fca was not too concerned because alaska is only a small population of their consumer base. We contacted fca again to remind them winters' arctic weather would return soon, that we needed dire assistance for safety reasons.jan-feb 2018, we'd relive this experience again!

Dodge ram steering recall alert- this same situation happened to me in my model 2014 dodge ram 1500 big horn. Recall needs to be extended the nut holding the steering knuckle and right control arm separated while driving. I felt a huge pop and jerk of the steering wheel. Luckily i was traveling at a low rate of speed. I took to suncoast dodge dealer immediately, he said i was lucky i could if i was on the freeway which i was shortly before. He said he has never seen a nut fall off before, but it did and, could rolled and caused serious accident. I was charged for repair and picked up truck today 2/5 then saw recall for this exact situation released today by chrysler fiat, but my vehicle was notincluded.
Air suspension system failed. The issue happens at random and can be stationary or traveling at highway speeds. All air is emptied from the system causing the vehicle to bounce around uncontrollably at highway speeds. The frame of the truck will be resting on the axle directly. I took the truck to the ram dealer for repair and after several attempts, changing out serval components they can not figure out why the truck is loosing air. The dealer now tells me that without a code in the system they can not repair it even though i show them pictures with date and time that the system is malfunctioning and the frame is sitting directly on the axle.
Vehicle vibrates.dealer has attempted to fix it 7 times, and now says it is operating as designed.
Since day one of buying this vehicle it has always been in the shop for air suspension problems sometimes for a few weeks at a time. Seems like no one knows how to diag the system because it was always darts thrown and no problems ever fixed, they have replaced airbags, compressor, charged the system, reprogrammed/calibrated the system and who knows how many fuses! ive gotten air suspension codes left and right with compressor temp codes... The main concern is the way this vehicle drives when it falls on bump stops and changes the camber of the tires ( has ruined a brand new set of tires due to inside tire wear on both front ) tires are screeching while driving down the road, bounces while turning and hitting small bumps... Well that just makes you feel like you got in a crash when it throws you around out of seat! thats even at lower speeds around 40-45 mph! i absolutely fear for my life driving this vehicle and at freeway speeds its just playing with the devil. Its only a matter of time before someone is killed by this horrible air suspension system! the problem is no one seems to care... Well unless it was their family member.the system was designed to fail when they put a compressor behind the right rear wheel that flings water, snow, salt and everything else on the road right at it and put some thin cover over it and say it " protects " it! i sure hope they do something before someone is killed, because its not fair to me or any other person to have to drive this vehicle and know everyday when going to work that it could be my last or someones else's last! ive given dealers shot after shot year after year, but something needs to be done about this asap
The contact owns a 2014 dodge ram 1500. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 14v392000 (suspension); however, the part needed to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.
The compressor on the air ride suspension system fails under normal operating conditions causing the vehicle to be out of level while driving, making the vehicle unsafe to drive down the road. This issue can happen at various times. I have experienced this issue when entering and exiting the highway. At highway speeds, the vehicle enters what is called "aero mode." the "aero mode" lowers the body of the truck to achieve better aerodynamics and fuel economy. After slowing from highway speeds, the vehicle returns to normal ride height. With the compressor failure, the vehicle is unable to return to normal ride height.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the suspension failed, and the vehicle became lowered. While driving over a bump in the road the suspension independently lowered, and the vehicle became uncontrollable. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to raise up. A message on the display stated that the vehicle was unable to achieve ride height. The vehicle was towed several times to the local dealer however, the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified however, no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.
The contact owned a 2014 ram 1500. While driving 74 mph, an abnormal noise was heard. The contact stopped the vehicle as the front suspension exploded. The contact noticed flames under the hood. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The fire department was called and extinguished the fire. A police report was filed and the report indicated that the front suspension caused the fire. The contact sustained a burned hand, but no medical attention was required. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot and deemed destroyed. The manufacturer was notified and did not assist. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
I received a notice that my truck had a recall (p37) i contacted chrysler service, they didn't know what you were talking about. Didn't have such a recall?do you just make up these numbers? wouldn't chrysler tell you about the problem? what gives???????
Suspension system (air bags) go out. The system completely shuts down and truck will hit the road (even flat new road) really hard with any bump. Usually it starts with one side the driver back side and eventually both air bags go out. Is very dangerous because if a little bump can manage to move my steering, a big pot hole can make my whole truck changes lanes. The system detects the malfunction after 3 uses and says "suspension overheated" suspension cooling". This happen every day for the last 2 months . The more use in the day, the more pull, the more weight, it goes out. I can't use the truck for what is for and now is only a carpool truck. Dodge ram longhorn 2014

(this service was performed at an independent service facility.) at 9.803 detected same wear pattern, alignment was in spec.by same independent repair facility.ram customer care directed me to daytona dodge, another alignment was performed, however tracking on road was impaired. At 10,450 miles. Ram customer care directed me to flagler dodge where another alignment was performed, front end alignment was out of spec and corrected at 10,608 miles. Tire irregular tire wear continued,ram customer care suggested a four wheel road force tire balance, which i paid for at my own expense. Weight adjustment of 1/4 oz on three wheels and 1/2 oz on one wheel, no change in tire wear. Filed notice of defective vehicle with mfg. Mfg. Had their final attempt to repair at13,019 miles.

My truck vibrates at speeds between 55 -68 mph.i no longer have 4 wheel drive and was told it is my right front differential.they need to replace the entire front end costing me close to $3,000.i have seen this as an issue on ram and dodge forums.it seems like if this is an issue with the vehicle there should be some sort of recall.this has been going on for a few years but the 4 wheel drive died last year but due to covid i did not get it fixed because i was working from home.i am now back to work and need to have it repaired.unfortunately the parts are on back order and at least a month away.i have 121,000 miles and i would hope to drive the vehicle for years to come but in these times $3000 is a difficult bill to take.
This truck has a air suspension that inflates and deflates all of the time, i am afraid of driving the truck in fear of an accident due to the truck air suspension the left rear deflates and hits metal to metal making it very squirrely. It seems that it nobody knows how to fix this, please help. This happens mainly when it is in motion

Traveling west on i-4, orlando, fl between sand lake road and exit to 528e at 1:25 pm in left hand lane. As i attempted to change lanes to the right i accelerated slightly and felt a "thump" (the only way i can describe it) through the steering wheel and the truck suddenly accelerated and fish tailed. I lost control for that instant and my truck struck the vehicle to my left in the rear by the tail lights on the passenger side. I was able to regain control of my truck and pull to the side of the road as did the other vehicle. My complaint centers on why the truck suddenly accelerated; what was the "thump" that i felt; is there a problem with the transmission (new design for 2014) and the rear differential; what would cause this sudden acceleration? have there been other complaints of this nature on this or other chrysler models? please respond asap.
I was driving along on route 220 near lock haven pa in which they are doing construction there is uneven payment pot holes etc i was doing 45 mph at the time due to construction zone when i hit a pot hole i heard a loud pop noise so i immediately pulled over looked at my truck didn't see anything so i continued driving apon arriving at my home ten mile up the road i noticed steering was funny once in my driveway i looked over my truck again to my surprise i found a crack on the knuckle at the upper ball joint the knuckle had cracked right at the upper ball joint on the casting seam i called dealership and they said they haven't heard of such a thing after hrs of arguing with them to fix it i had it towed to the dealership where they had the truck for a week and told me it wasn't covered under warranty keep in mind i only had the truck for 2-3 months and it should of been covered i know dodge has had issues in the past with suspension problems and i find it a great concern as this could of caused a serious crash very disappointed with dodge at this point i'd rather not even keep the truck as i feel it's not very safe
Air suspension fails in cold weather, sometimes turns off traction control and provides a rough ride in ice and snow, making the vehicle less safe.this occurs in all types of driving and has been a problem since i bought it.
The trucks air ride suspension will not work correctly in cold conditions on a highway or in a stationary position .the automatic air suspension will give out and the truck will feel like it is riding on the frame and controlling the vehicle is compromised.the system will also return back to normal functions with warmer weather.brought truck to dealer and they clear the fault codes and say air suspension is working normal.read a lot about other ram trucks with the same problems.
The contact owns a 2014 dodge ram. The contact stated while driving at approximately 35 mph the air ride suspension system became inoperable. The contact stated that the vehicle leaned to one side. The air suspension malfunction warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (gene's chrysler dodge jeep ram 3400 s cushman st, fairbanks, ak 99701) for a diagnosis and repair. The contact stated that the prognosis was not provided, however the vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 68,000. The vin was not available.
The incident happened while i was driving home on i40 in amarillo texas. I was doing 75 mph and my truck lowered all the way to the entry exit setting on the air ride suspension. I had literally no suspension. As i was trying to slow down and trying to pull over i hit a bump in the road. My truck literally bounced like a low rider and my head hit the ceiling. I lost control when the front wheels hit the ground and almost crashed into the car next to me. I was finally able to come to a complete stop and my service air suspension immediately light came on. Now my air ride suspension will not raise up and cannot drive my car because it bounces uncontrollably. I was researching this problem and reading on dodge ram forums that this is very common for these trucks. This is very dangerous and a serious matter. It could have easily cost me or somebody else our life! this was very scary!dodge needs to do something about this to make this right!

The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle made an abnormal noise. Upon further inspection, the contact noticed the front driver rotor's calipers moved while being inspection. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed as the front hub and the bearing units needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the vehicle. The contact referenced nhtsa campaign number: 07v038000 (suspension) however the vehicle was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.
Backing down driveway and the driveshaft dropped out of truck. After checking i found that it had never been bolted to truck. Dodge dealer picked it up and reattached the driveshaft. When i picked it up the technician told me it never had bolts on it.

I was driving my dodge ram 1500 from milwaukee, wi to memphis, tn on a vacation. While driving at speeds in excess of 80 mph, i noticed a lot of shaking and vibrating from the steering wheel thru the entire cab of the truck. I noticed the same thing when driving back home from memphis. I had taken my truck back to the dealer at an earlier date, however the dealership stated that they didn't notice any vibrating when they drove the truck. They did share that they could not drive my vehicle at excessive speeds, however gave me the same information in my latest complaint on 7/23/2015. I shared my concerns prior to hearing about the current recall on dodge ram 1500 trucks and hope that my vehicle doesn't have any safety issues that could lead to injury.
While driving the vehicle home from, after hitting the speed limit of 65, the vehicle started to shimmy, side to side, and continued at a higher speed.i called the dealer, and returned the truck to have it serviced, but it did not help.i was told it was flat spots on the tires, and to give it some time.after almost 4000 miles, and 4 visits back for service, i was told there was nothing they could do.all the trucks ride the same.after further investigation, i found out through various forums, that a lot of people are having the same problem, and if the tires are changed out, the problem will go away. The dealer refused to change out the tires.the tires in question are goodyear wrangler sr-a, size p275/60r20.
We own a 2014 ram 1500 laramie. It is 3.22.19, since jan 4th 2019 we have had 4 new compressors installed and we just got our truck back after 1 month of not having it and it failed again for the 5th time after driving it 15 miles. We are completely disappointed in the design of the air ride suspension in this truck. We are now at a loss because we have not had our truck for 3 months and still making payments on it and cannot drive it. This is unacceptable for a dealership to sell a 28,000 truck that you can't use or drive.

Getting warning to immediately service air supension system, while driving ona highway.checkedobd-ii reader and zero codes come up.read ram forums with several complainst, all stating issue when temperatures were near freezing. Mine started to show messages after outsidetemperature dropped to and below freezing.
I have a 2014 dodge ram 1500 laramie limited with the air suspension option. I bought it 11 months ago.it was winter when i bought it, and on the test drive, i attempted to adjust the suspension level and immediately got the warning message that the air suspension needed to be serviced. They took it into their service bay and replaced the fuse, which temporarily resolved the issue.as the weather remained cold, however, i got the same message again, so contacted the dealer and took it back in.i ended up having to take it back in multiple times, with them "insulating a part of the system and updating the ecu".as the weather warmed up through the spring and summer, no issues.fast forward to this winter, once the weather dropped below freezing, the service air suspension light came back on.i checked all fuses, and none were blown, which seems to be the common fault that causes this error message.i pulled them and replaced them to try to reset the system, and the system tried lower the truck, then raise it, to the point where it finally stopped with the front end completely lowered on the bump stops, and the back end in off-road 2.the height indicator stated it was in off-road 2, even at highway speeds, even though that height is not supposed to be able to be maintained at highway speeds. The system also continues to try to raise and lower on it's own, doing so for up to an hour at a time while driving.all that being said, the vehicle is back at the dealer for repairs, even though the forums i've found state there is currently not a permanent solution from fca.this appears to be a widespread problem in any climate that drops below freezing after doing some research online, resulting in damage to vehicles and loss of control of the vehicle in some instances.i hope no one has to lose their life in order for this to demand a resolution from fca.
Air suspension will stop working while traveling and you lose all suspension vehicle will start to bounce even on smith roads which causes truck to wander in all directions and gives another warning so you immediately see the results has happened to me 3 times at highway speeds traveling straight
Cspc: vehicles dropping in motion is a very dire/serioussafety concerns, we have personally experienced this during both winters. Dt
The vehicle defaults to the entry/exit mode in the air suspension system in cold weather and is undrivable.dodge is away of the issue and to fix the problem you have to purchase a new air suspension control module for $1100.if this is a known issue that is a factory defect why isn't this a recall?
Vehicle air suspension engages to raise and/or lower vehicle at random intervals after the vehicle is stationary, in "park", and the engine is turned off.the vehicle key fob nor any other owner prompts are used to cause the issue.the interval period between when the vehicle is parked and turned off and the air suspension engagement to raise and/or lower the vehicle can range from several minutes to hours.
There is a continuous unknown electrical draw causing the battery to drain to the point the vehicle will not start. An electrical surge will cause the electric suspension to activate along with the console cluster after the vehicle has been turned off. The vehicle has been back to the dealership 6 times and neither the dealership or chrysler has a fix. The condition is getting worse and now there is a new issue affecting the electrical clutches in the transmission. I have requested a loaner vehicle until i can purchase a different vehicle i feel is safer. On april 3, 2014, the district chrysler representative denied the request. I believe this vehicle is unsafe for multiple possible reasons but especially concerned about he alternator. The alternator's function is to recharge the battery once it's been used to start the engine. And to keep the battery charged when various electrical systems are used in the vehicle. The alternator determines how much to charge the battery by measuring the reference voltage from the battery. If there's a problem with the battery where the reference voltage is very low, the alternator will try to recharge the battery. The alternator isn't designed to recharge a dead battery. It's intended to maintain the charge on a good battery. When this does happen, the alternator begins to run hot, and this is what kills the alternator. A dead battery while driving means no electric steering,no antilock brakes, no air bags, ect. I'm very concerned about the safety of this vehicle.
Theirs a lot of recalls they don't fix them and i'm scare of driving the truck.
The air suspension has not been working properly for well over a year now it intermittently goes down to the bump stops and could cause a serious injury to persons in other vehicles plus my own because any bump that your hit cause the truck to bounced losing traction with the road and that even means when slowing down the traction control abs bricks in and cause the wheels to not lock up ,, also the truck can't hold the load if and in the bed cussing unsafe handling around corners andthrew traffic
Air suspension will freeze up in negative temperatures. When this happens while driving truck over bumps, causes vehicle to lose stability/traction on the road, especially on icy roads - causing high risk for an accident.

Air suspension does not work in the cold. Has been back at the dealer many times. New compressor new shocks and still the problem.
This truck has the optional air suspension, which will not functionin cold weather. The compressor and lines get polluted with moisture which freezes, causing the pump to not work and control valves to stick. The result is the truck has no suspension whatsoever.warming the truck up in the shop restores functionality temporarily. The dealership and fca itself will only replace components, which does not remedy the problem. I have started a facebook action group that has numerous other owners with the exact same problem. Fca will not recall or claimresponsibility for their defective product.
The air suspension randomly stops working. I purchased truck less then a year ago.i figured it was due to the cold weather we get in colorado.however i drove the truck to florida. Halfway there the suspension stops working. Makes a very bumpy ride, and very uncomfortable and painful. Also i managed to get pulled over in dallas and accused of a dui because i was unable to maintain a lane. Due to the suspension being messed up. Is there a fix for this
The factory "air ride" suspension fails in cold weather. The air bags completely deflate, leaving the vehicle with no suspension. Losing all suspension ability while driving is a serious risk to life. Encountering small potholes or icy roads without suspension increases the likelihood of wrecks. The lowering of the suspension changes the steering geometry required to properly steer a vehicle on the roads. Camber, caster, and toe of the steering geometry are negatively effected and will result in increased likelihood of wrecks. I took my vehicle into the local dodge dealerships in alaska and they acknowledge the air ride suspension does not function here but cannot make repairs. I called dodge corporate line and they ask me to take it back to the same dealerships that inform me that there is no fix. Please issue a recall on the ram 1500 air ride suspension as this is a serious risk to life allowing these vehicles to operate in cold climates.
During cold weather (sub 32f) air suspension will fail, causing truck to sit on bump stops (suspension bottoms out on one or more corners, sometimes all 4 corners). Has happened while driving, causing very rough/bumpy ride and causes poor handling if it happens while driving, at various speeds ranging from sub 25mph to 70+mph. Can also fail if parked. Attached image is of front driver tire bottomed out sitting in garage.
My ram 1500 air suspension has failed on several occasions, leaving the front end of the truck sagging down on the rubber bump stops. This condition leaves me with no suspension in the front, often when away from home. This condition has left me on the highway with adverse handling characteristics, such as shuddering of the front end. I have had this in the shop at the dealer on several occasions, the first time for over a month. The service department manager acknowledges a problem, but told me there is "no fix" until ram comes up with one. This condition only happens in below freezing temperatures and goes away when temperatures rise. There are many other owners reporting the same problem, with the same responses from their dealers.this problem has created a very unsafe condition for me, personally, and others have reported this happening while underway, with one whole side of their vehicle dropping while underway. I'm hoping this doesn't happen to me. When will fca be held responsible for this known safety issue? soon, i hope.
This is the third event or incident surrounding this air ride suspension system:1. The first incident was in jan 2017 after getting up to alaska.this time almost caused a major accident.without warning, the vehicle fell while driving and slid out in traffic.the seatbelt locked in place and malfunctioned.gene's chrysler ended up changing out some of the hardware and parts.2. The second incident was not as bad on november 2017, this time the warning lights came on.after allowing the truck to sit a few days waiting for chrysler to provide an appointment, and changing all the fuses, the suspension raised up again.3. Time number 3 was on january 31, 2018.this time, the truck was towed to gene's chrysler on february 01, 2018.the vehicle fell to the ground again and was not moving the speed limit because of slower traffic conditions.right now, the truck is still in the shop because more parts need to be replaced and the dealership is waiting on the manufacturers' recall for this air ride suspension system.we are very concerned about our team out there in alaska but now, this is happening to vehicles all over the country during real cold weather.it's like a national crisis now and needs everyone in the transportation department to please do something before someone dies because of these malfunctions and the defective air ride system. Now that it has been 40 days without our ministry having their vehicle in alaska, what will nhtsa do to help our pastor and ministry up there?it is so sad that no one seems to care until all these reports of injuries and even deaths, will the government step in and help the people now?also, will you please call the fca and the dealership service people to ask how much longer, another 10 days is too long? thank you for allowing us share what's going on & hope we will hear back from you more sooner than later
Fuel leak at inside bend of metal fuel line. Factory defect. Fuel leak at several injectors whee it meets manifold. Glow plug module and glow plugs constantly failing. Water pump leak and replaced. Air suspension inoperable. Vehicle well maintained and only 32,000 miles
I believe our truck should be part of most of the recalls listed fo ram trucks. Our tires are wearing on the outside,they won't fix.the transmission was replaced at twenty some thousands miles, and my wife being the primary driver said that when you come to a complete stop the truck sometimes jumps forward.the rear differential seal was replaced.i'm afraid that we might lose our wheels on the road.there is also a chemical smell coming from the engine that everyone can smell but the dealer.currently working with chrysler and been driving a rental for almost a month.
In cold weather the air suspension fails and the front passenger side falls down to bump stop creating zero suspension and major safety issue. The truck failed at the airport 60 miles from my home. In trying to get home i was driving 50 mph in a 75 mph zone and hit a patch of rough road and some snowand the truck went side ways 7/8 times before i was able to regain control. The truck has 33,000 miles and the bill to repair the compressor for the air suspension was $2,600. No help from fort collins dodge.
The air suspension freezes up when it gets below zero.i do a lot of ice fishing, the reason i bought this truck, and i've had to drive with various corners of the vehicle having no suspension.one time, it happened while driving down the interstate at 75mph, the whole front end dropped to the frame and i almost crashed because i didn't know what was going on right away.it has been happening since i bought the truck a year ago.to date it's been in the shop 5 times and the compressor finally burnt out.
The contact owns a 2014 dodge ram 1500. The contact received a manufacturers recall on the suspension. The contact stated that the part was not available for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The contact felt that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact had not experienced a failure.
I had just started driving when i hit the button to raise my suspension, everything seemed to be working as normal but the truck never raised and the indicator light flashed raising but never stopped.after driving about 5 miles i stopped the truck turned it off and restarted. The indicator stopped flashing,remaining in off-road 1, but the front was lower than the rear.i tried adjusting again but nothing worked.got back on the road and got up to highway speeds to see if it would auto adjust but it remained in off-road 1, even at 70mph.it had been below freezing overnight, but the temp had raised above 45 when this occurred. A bit of a safety issue as the truck doesn't handle right, when the front is lowered to exit level and the rear is in off-road 2.
Air suspension fails every few months leaving the truck undriveable. Normal roads can lift the rear tires off the ground and cause loss of control. Parts are expensive to replace and dealerships are not well trained to fix them.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 30 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact managed to coast the vehicle to the shoulder of the road turn the vehicle off and back on however, the vehicle failed to resume normal operation. The vehicle was towed to criswell chrysler jeep dodge ram fiat (84 bureau dr, gaithersburg, md 20878, (301) 637-4198) where it was determined that the lifter rocker failed on the passenger's side. Additionally, the camshaft needed to be repaired. The camshaft was resealed and the top starter and lifters were replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 108,982.
The contact owns a 2014 dodge ram 1500. The contact received a notification for a manufacturers recall regarding rear shock absorbers and stated that the part needed was unavailable to repair the vehicle. The dealer was unable to inform when the part would become available. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.
Backing out of parking spot when driver side lower control arm shattered. Wheel was unable to support the weight of the truck or any steering movements without causing further damage to the suspension or truck body. Cause was a defect in the aluminum molding.

The contact had not experienced a failure.
Air ride suspension froze up when temps went below zero.air ride drops to bump stops while driving causing hazardous driving conditions,which has happened to us while hundreds of miles from home. With no suspension hitting any type of bumps causes the vehicle to bounce any direction and very difficult to control, and is hard on the back. It will rise and act properly then just drop to bump stops in a short time with no warning. The problem has happened while on the highway, and city streets in motion. The component in question is the is the enclosed nitrogen air ride suspension controlling the compressor and air bags.
Drivers side rear airbag goes flat intermittently. This may happen while driving or while parked and not running. The dealership could not find any leaks or problems. When flat, even if compressor is running , it won't refill. It may stay flat for minutes or days, and through many driving cycles then all of a sudden it fills and operates normal. Normal operation may last from a few hours to weeks. Then it does it again. Dealership claims it is the airpump overheating but this doesn't make sense as only one shock goes flat and doesn't respond when the pump is running. Many people report this same problem on this year dodge ram truck and have said replacing the compressor and valve body did not fix the problem. One person reported that they had the control module re flashed and it fixed the issue.
This truck wobbles at speeds of 80 miles per hour.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. While the vehicle was being driven or parked, the air ride suspension deflated when the temperature was below freezing. The service air suspensionwarning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to lee chrysler jeep dodge ram (765 center st, auburn, me 04210, (207) 783-2291) where it was diagnosed that the nitrogen was low. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to nhtsa. The failure mileage was 60,000.
I've been having problems with the air ride suspension on my 2014 dodge ram longhorn and i fear this problem could result into a major issue for myself and my children. I've looked online and there several people who have the same problem. Please help! i don't want this issue to have any catastrophic problems for myself and my kids that i take take to and from school. Also this vehicle has to get me to and from work. Please respond and help. The first time of the malfunction myself and kids where in motion headed to school and the rear suspension completely went out. The truck was bouncing very hard and we could feel every bump in the road. The second time i was on the highway driving to work and it did the same thing. I pulled over and called tow truck and my husband had to pick me up and drive me to work. The third time i was headed to take my kids to school and the truck was low on the ground so i started it to see if it would rise up but nothing happened and it was still driving really bad making every bump feel like i would loose control of the vehicle. I feel this is very unsafe and i need help.
Air ride suspension drops to bump stops causing rough ride and lose of control of the vehicle. This is a very serious issue that could have caused serious injury or worse. Very poor design...
I have brought my truck back to the dealership due to a rattle in my steering wheel.the rattle occurs when traveling from a standstill up to 30 miles per hour.the dealer was made aware of this situation the week that the bought the truck.it has been brought back 5 times, and each time they acknowledged that there was an issue with my steering system.they stated that they could hear the rattle, and would fix it.the first 3 times it was brought to the dealer, they sent me away stating that they corrected the issue.once i got back home, and encountered bumpy roads, the rattle was still there.the following 2 times it was at the dealership, they sent me away stating that they would not work on my vehicle any further because they did not know what was causing the rattle.they have reseated both the passenger side and drivers side air bags, they tightened a wire harness on my steering column, then they replaced my steering column coupling, and finally they replaced the entire steering column.they have no idea what they are trying to fix.they stated to me that the know there is an issue, but do not know what is causing it.this issue could very well be a safety issue, as it has to do with my steering system.my vehicle has 5000 miles on it, and has been back to the dealer ship 5 times.i have owned the vehicle for 5 months.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. While the vehicle was stationary, the air suspension warning indicator remained illuminated.

I live in northern minnesota.the air suspension began having problems the first winter i owned the truck.the suspension would not operate properly during negative temperatures.i brought it in to get serviced several times, and i was told it is normal during negative temperatures.this past winter, the 40 amp fuse for the suspension started blowing.it has now blown three times this winter, and the last two times as barely been below freezing.it has blown twice in the last 24 hours.when the fuse blows, the truck, dangerously, lowers to the stops.it does not handle properly or safely under these conditions.

2014 dodge ram 1500 factory goodyear tires blow out during interstate driving in hershey pamodel oem goodyear wrangler 275/60r20 i was getting into i-83 at speed of 45mph when i heard a sound. And just down the road in i-83 when i was at speed of 60mph the tire sensor came up showing psi <17. These tires were rotated around 5k miles and nitrogen gas used.if i was driving at the speed of the traffic (>70mph) when the tire blow out took place it would have caused a major road accident.after it was taken for repair it showed a lateral blow out of the tire.
This post is related to nhtsa id #10585728. I also have the same issue. I have 20 inch wheels/tires but the spare is 17 inches. I called the dealer where i bought this truck and they said that is the way they come from the manufacturing plant. I was told that the 17 inch wheel was the same height as the 20 inch wheel so it was ok. I was also told that they do not advise people to drive more than 50 miles on the 17 inch spare.

The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 47,000.

After the mandatory emissions update on my ecodiesel i am going to get seriously hurt trying to get out in to traffic at a stop light or sign.there is serious lag in the throttle response and sometimes no response at all.how can something that was supposed to make us safer leave us so very vulnerable.please, please, please for a fix to this issue.also the update was not supposed to cause a change in fuel economy or the way our vehicles run.it is horrible.it's bad enough that the fuel economy is so drastically reduced, but seriously this is a huge safety hazard.every time that i am at a stop and then push on my throttle i have no idea if the pickup is going to respond or not.numerous times i have been stalled out with traffic coming at me both ways.it is an extremely frightening experience.worse, i am considering an after market "tune" as are 1000's of others.this is not the answer to this widespread problem.please make dodge fix this terrible safety issue.how many preventable crashes will there have to be?
Takata recall.when my 2014 ram 1500 is stationary, moving, or just turned the car on. My touch screen goes black, freezes, and i cannot controll the heat or a.c, fan speed, volume to the radio, radio, heated seats,any electronic buttons on my steering wheel or any of the buttons that are connected to my screen/radio. My daughter's boy friend just purchased the same year turck i did and he started having the same problems with his screen.
As previous recall on same model of trucks, the leak issue on the rear window or third brake is still present due to the sealant wearing off and not stopping rain from entering the cab and ruining upholstery , and eventually promoting rust from inside the cab. The vehicle can be stationary or in motion
The heat is only working on the passenger side of my truck and it's only 5 year old why am just now having this problem every thing is working properly but the heat
The brake pedal keeps sinking numerous times before it stops.this clearly presents a safety hazard to occupants or pedestrians, and affects the drivers ability to safely control the vehicle. This happened on city street and highway on my way home. While driving it will brake properly a few times than it start sinking again. I feel it has to do with the master cylinder or booster. I also have video of the pedal sinking.
This truck was purchased brand new in sept 2014. Within the first 4000 miles of driving the brand new vehicle exhaust started to come out from under the hood and started entering the cabin, it now has 22000 miles. I told the dealership and they said to bring it in and found nothing. 10000 miles checkup i told them the same thing but its getting a lot worse so they said it was when they did an oil change and oil got onto the exhaust so they cleaned my undercarriage, but the problem would still occur. 15000 i brought it in again and they replaced my catalytic converter saying that was they issue but as soon as i got home from the dealership it started again. I have since been contacting the dealership constantly because now there is a recall pertaining to the issue i specifically have (high frequency decoupler) recall (r04). Since then they keep telling me the part is on backorder and i just have to wait for it. My truck smokes from under the hood and enters the cabin from the air vents, it gets to the point where you cant drive it without getting dizzy. North star dodge dealership in san antonio is who i have been contacting with this issue and charles specifically from the service department. There administration has done nothing to alleviate the issue for me or accommodate me in any way. From the time i have had this issue i have contacted the fca multiple times and they tell me the dealership has it on order but can do nothing about accommodating me either. The issue of carbon monoxide poisoning is a large concern for me because i drive me grandmother around who has serious heart conditions, this issue needs to be taken care of immediately and nobody is doing anything to accommodate my safety. Please help my health is at risk and everybody how rides in my vehicle.
"takara recall"the heat quit working in my 2014 dodge ram a year ago. Went to see about getting it fixed and the quote was approximately 900.00. The truck was only 3 years old. That a is the only complaint i have. This chemical has been awesome otherwise.
Bought truck 4 months ago, has been broke down now as of today 5 times. This truck has lost fuel mileage, power, and has almost cost lives, when you push on the gas, nothing, after a few seconds it will go, this is extremely dangerous, i have been in front of a semi moving wind turbines and almost killed,this truck has been towed several times, in the shop broke down all after recall, this truck will cost lives, i have tried contacting several people,i get nothing, my next move is going to show videos and updated incidents, and information on all steps, last response was my case has been closed,people need to know the action taken on this and the lives affected. The most recent action was a couple weeks ago, i am a pilot escort for ge wind industry,i was needed to stop traffic to keep public safe, when i'm needed to jump into action this truck fails, i need a replacement immediately,i was almost driven right into my driver side door by a 138 thousand pond tower section due to lag time, this truck is powerless, after recall my mileage went from the upper 30's to teens, it's been in shop every month i have owned it, currently waiting on a cooling system, on back order, i have owned this truck for 5 months, i have lost over 1000,000 in revenue, almost killed and killing others, i am losing my business now, i'm in succ a hole nothing will help me unless this truck is replaced immediately, this truck is extremely dangerous, i have nothing left, i need a truck that will simply work, i need to rebuild
We came home from a short trip and discovered trailer was resting on truck bed. It towed fine on way home so we did not notice anything until we stopped to park it. We called a repairman who removed skin and found at least 9 broken welds. He said we were lucky we didn't kill someone. He called a welder to look at it. He said the front portion around hitch was built like a mac truck but the section past that was built like tissue paper. There was not enough support or bracing and that area flexed badly. He said we were lucky it dropped down slowly, if it had slammed down there could have been fatalities. *dtconsumer stated both repairman and welder said faulty welds that failed and lack of support.*dtconsumer called the dealer.*dt
Rotary shifter i was outside of my truck on dec.23 2016 when i put my truck in park and went inside of gas station for a minute. After being parked for a while i saw my truck started to roll away on its own i ran out of the door and caught my truck before any major damage happened. My truck was initially in park i always double since i have been hearing about these problems. My truck somehow put itself in drive and took off on its own the manager of pizza hut also witnessed this. Now i'm scared to drive my truck which i still owe 37000 on. I have had my truck for about a year and it has never done this beforeand i'm not sure what to do. However it did lightly hit a yellow pole but no real damage to truck.
The ram ecodiesel 3.0l truck had a check engine light that came on while driving, showing a p20ee error, requiring the replacement of the diesel exhaust selective catalytic reduction (scr) at under 27,000mithe dealership i dealt with was great in getting it fixed, but i am concerned the new exhaust scr that was installed won't last the life of the vehicle if the first one only lasted a little over 26,000mi unless they made a change and/or updated the part that was installed on my truck.i'm hoping the replaced part was updated by ram and the cause of this error corrected, but i have not been given this information at this time.
Due to the recent media coverage on tv i just checked my ram 1500 for recalls and saw there were 3 outstanding. The only recall i was informed about was r40/nhtsa 15v-461, and i only received that last week in the mail. I have never been informed via mail, email, or phone of any of the other recalls. This is totally unsatisfactory and unsafe. Isn't ram responsible to notify me of recalls in a timely manner?
Horn no longer works, by pushing it or with key fob locking when locking my truck. I'veread thatthis has happen on multiple ram 1500s. My just stop when exiting my truck and i notice i didnt get any beep when trying to secure my truck. Checked every fuse, relay, even took it to the dealership i purchased it from. Only had the truck for 4 weeks and they told me i would have to pay $600. This is a safety issue and i shouldn't be responsible for a horn not beeping..
I was driving in a rainy day at 65 mphi 81 south bound, when i suddenly saw o lot of water accumulate in the road and the rain gets harder and in the blink of an eye i felt like my ram started spinning, i have had some experiences with vihecles sliding but this time had no chance to do anything and i ended hitting the concrete wall with the front of my vihecle. The seat belts didn't lock our bodies to the seat properly and the airbags fail to deploy. My wife and i where taken to er the x rays didn't show any fractures but my wife is still on pain.
Truck would not start
After car wash or rain area under rear seat has water in it i have removed rear seat and rear cab liner and found that the exhauster-bodyside aperture - mopar (68157351ad) i have called fci more then 1 time and nothing . This has been reported from 6 months of me owning the truck
Smell of exhaust fumes in my 4x4 ram 1500 ecodiesel.at a later date visually seen white fumes that smelled strong of exhaust enter cab though vent system while in reverse, and at a few days later in "drive.""repaired" with a new exhaust gasket by local dealer.smell still occured and scheduled for another repair in about 2 weeks.will supply dealer with printout pictures of other owners with same problem."exhaust front pipe" crack, and very common thoughout all year model ecodiesels 2014-2016 4x2 and 4x4.had 13 month old firstborn in front seat and needs to be taken more serious by fca (fiat chrystler america).no pictures as of yet as the part is out of my reach until i request seeing the old replaced part.fca claims to have "more robust part" but an hour and ten minutes of phone time and i have realized there is no "new" part.very angry over the situation, as there is no recall for 4x4 models and the 4x4 models use the same part number and part as the 4x2 models.techs at dealership seem lost.very easy to find information online in seconds for anybody who looks.owners that have experienced the problem with same 4x4 model as i, feel very misled and lied to.this is very dangerous and amount of exhaust in cab is completely unsafe and could absolutely cause an accident on the road.
All buttons on front right side of steering wheel (cruise control, gear+/-) have completely stopped functioning. Vehicle has 44,000 miles, steering wheel wire harness was supposedly replaced a year ago under recall
While driving at interstate speeds for approximately 130 miles (2.5 hours), vehicle sputtered and lost power, it stabilized at~40 mph.a check engine light and red lighting bolt displayed.we exited the interstate and made course to a dealership utilizing smaller hwys.en-route to the repair shop, at about 40 mph, vehicle started emitting smoke to include inside the cabin.stopped the vehicle and evacuated all 4 people inside.flames and heavy smoke soon became visible as we watched from afar.large flames grew and quickly engulfed the whole vehicle.fire department arrived and put out the fire.
After going to two dealerships, i am unable to get my recall r46/nhtsa 15v-541 repaired.tuttle click dodge in irvine california and huntington beach dodge in huntington beach, california both advise that they do not have the part, that chrysler will not release the part other than 2 a month, and after ordering the part through both dealers and being told i will be called when it arrives, it has been months and i still have no call and no repair.
Cant get an appointment to fix safety recalls until 17 nov 2015 unless i need an oil change then it could be done sooner.seems like an excessive amount of time unless i buy something (geneschrysler fairbanks, ak)
The assist handle has a leak when rains hard.removed to see where it is leaking and there is an airbag there. It also leaks all over the floor that can eventually lead to structural issues
This incident was with a rental 2014 dodge ram pickup truck rented from enterprise rental car in san angelo, tx. Rental agreement # [xxx]. Model b15q (enterprise model #)texas tag number [xxx]. I was driving late evening on wednesday night on a solid paved road surface called socha loop north of san angelo, tx. In the described vehicle. I was familiar with the road working since monday nov. 24,2014 at same work site. I had just entered the vehicle and had only traveled less than one mile returning to my hotel. I had reached for my seat beltabout 100 yards before approaching curve. As i was slowing to about 25 mph on a 35 mph un-posted reaching for the seatbelt over my left shoulder while moving. Myself wanting it the seat belt fastened i twisted to my left. Doing this body twist reaching for seat belt my right knee bumped the newly designed key and caused the key to move. The vehicle engine shut off. The lights although necessary while night, switched off. Entering the curve was difficult as steering was possible but required more torque to steer. I always learned that 99.9% of roads maintain their radius throughout. This was helpful as i had the interior light on just reaching for seat belt prior to the approaching curve so when the lights failed and the cab illuminated i lost all vision to the outside. There were no other cars on the rural road and i was able to coast thru the curve to a safe stop on the level apron of socha loop. I hope you will add my incident to help others.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Starting at about 30k the check engine light came on and the error code read po456 (small evap leak), dodge dealer (peterson ) stated that the computer was so sensitive that they (the dealer) could not detect such a small leak.. So i was told they changed out some common items that had known issues and it should be fix.. At about 37k same exact issue same exact error code same exact response from the dealer.. But this time i was told they just replaced the whole evap system and to make sure i don't overfill the fuel tank.... Now at 54k same exact issue same error po456 ..but now a much more noticeable heavy 'fuel' smell in the cab ' and i've been very careful not to 'overfill' the fuel tank'.best part dealer is saying sorry out of warranty..huh, that's convenient.
My 2014 dodge ram blows a powder out of the vents.i was driving down i5 doing about 60 mph and my heater kicked on blowing a white powder from the vents into my eyes. I was temporarily blinded and almost lost control of my truck. I was able to squint out of 1 eye and get pulled over safely to the side of the road. I believe my contacts saved my eyes. As the evaporator starts breaking down it allows a powder to form that can blow in your face. Dodge should have something installed in front of the evaporator that would prevent this from happening.
Transmission was replaced due to a manufacturing defect,not part of a recall,rear main seal was replaced, rear differential seal was replaced, high mount brake light was replaced due to water leaking in the cab. There is a chemical smell coming from engine thru vents.front tires wearing on the outside most likely the tie rod defect that the dealer won't acknowledge.
While driving the vehicle home from, after hitting the speed limit of 65, the vehicle started to shimmy, side to side, and continued at a higher speed.i called the dealer, and returned the truck to have it serviced, but it did not help.i was told it was flat spots on the tires, and to give it some time.after almost 4000 miles, and 4 visits back for service, i was told there was nothing they could do.all the trucks ride the same.after further investigation, i found out through various forums, that a lot of people are having the same problem, and if the tires are changed out, the problem will go away. The dealer refused to change out the tires.the tires in question are goodyear wrangler sr-a, size p275/60r20.
I have had a lot of rust coming from the inside out i had 3 sets of running boards my right fender my hood and now my left fender is rust from inside outit seams to much rust and i would like it repaired at no charge[xxx] my vininformation redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Numerous electrical problems, blowing fuses, blowing light bulbs, and radio issues. I had to replace three fuses and have only had the brand new vehicle despite it was on the dealers lot with 5 miles on it when i test drove it. In a years time i have had to replace one head light build, one right brake tail light bulb. Had to replace the three brake light due to leaking. I am getting ready to have the third radio replaced by dealer. The dealer has had to also work on the rear window twice which was leaking severally, and the dealer has also replaced the shark fin satellite antenna once. I am also starting to see driver's side window moving roughly not smooth as others three windows still are smooth operation. I have also had five recalls serviced and assumed to have been fixed or maybe they are causing these or other issues!
Driving to work 5/7/18 truck was running fine with no cel's, alarms, warnings or anything out of the ordinary just a normal drive as usual and this is my daily driver. I approached the intersection to turn right came to a stop there was no oncoming traffic so accelerated to turn onto highway feeder when i heard a weird sound and felt the truck decelerate. I pushed the pedal a little harder and noticed no change in speed rpms were dropping as well as boost gauge i looked in the mirror and saw a trail of smoke and began making my way to the shoulder of the road. While making my way to the shoulder smoke began coming into the cab of the truck and the engine died, i put the truck in park and popped the hood latch when i opened the hood there was a small fire on the back of the motor on the passenger side near the egr and turbo. Immediately closed the hood grabbed a bottle of water from the cab opened the hood and extinguished the flame. Truck was towed to local dealership who began looking at the truck and said it appeared the egr got hot or there was a short in the wiring system. I contacted ram to verify my 5y/100,000m warranty as well as the extended warranty that i purchased they then turned me over to fiat-chrysler who said they were assigning a special investigator to look at the truck and has ordered the dealership to stop all work until investigation is complete which could take 4 weeks. Fiat-chrysler is also refusing to provide a loaner or rental even though they are the ones who wanted to assign a special investigator. Dealership was far enough along in teardown before fiat-chrysler stopped work that i was able to obtain the following pictures with the plastic cover removing showing the melted and burned wiring harness up against the egr and manifold.
Received initial notice of recall almost 3 months ago.immediately tried to contact dealer from which the vehicle was purchased, benny boyd bastrop but could not get an answer in service.left 3 messages but never got a return call.called south point dodge in austin but again no answer in service or response to message.visited south point dodge and service manager put me on extensive list for service and said she would "call".never called.have now received 2nd notice of recall.appears neither wants to accept responsibility for resolution and i don't trust either of them any longer.
At 70 mph on highway going straight, the engine quite running and left the vehicle disabled.it had to be towed and sits waiting repair.i thought recall w58 from fca (nhtsa # 20v475000) was for this issue but was told it us to prevent and not repair if it already happened.help!
I purchased this vehicle on july 6, 2019 and in that month it has stalled on my twice when stopped. It starts right back up, but this is a safety issue. I haven't even made my 1st payment yet and i'm now afraid to drive it. I can't afford to throw a new to me vehicle in the shop!
2 mounting bolts have broken off in my manifold. They are broke off inside the manifold.
Dpf/def systems causing engine failure. Leveling sensor inside of the d.e.f tank isn't reponding and causing truck to run bad and causing truck to go into limp mode. And there should be a recall on the dpf system
Vehicle has had a continual vibration/shaking since new.the tire have been replaced twice, balanced 8 times, and the differential has been replaced.the fender flares have also been replaced for detachment with the thought that they may have caused the shaking.i have opened three cases with fca and asked to have the vehicle replaced.the area service representative will not acknowledge a problem even though the dealership does.i strongly believe that it may be a safety concern that is being avoided by fca.
My vehicle has tremendous lag when trying to accelerate, but it is not all the time. I never know when pulling out into a road at a left hand turn if i am going to get throttle response or a dead petal. Too many times not i have been stuck with tremendous lag and almost rear ended by vehicles while turning onto a road. This was never an issue until a forced "fix" for a recall on the ecodiesel engine. Upon initial acceleration sometimes there is a 1-2 second lag before the vehicle even seems to accelerate at all. My mile per gallon has dropped several points and def is being over consumed. I do not know when the truck will accelerate or just lag out on me. I do not know if this is a motor or transmission or none of the above issue. I do know that many people with the "aem fix" for the recalled rams is having the same issues. This vehicle does not seem safe to drive to to its unpredictability with acceleration. From a cold start, the vehicle is extremely sluggish for several minutes or miles, and that is in the warm ca sun.... I am waiting for the vehicle to not work at all. This has been ongoing for several months since having the vehicle "fixed"
I had a air bad recall regarding the side airbags that i had fixed at adams automotive of annapolis and then on 5/07/14 i was involved in a serious motor vehicle accident due to the side curtain airbags deploying while i was driving. After the collision involving 6 cars when my side airbags deployed, none of the other front airbags deployed when they should have because of how bad the front impact was. I was injured very badly due to this and am possibly being held responsible for the accident until chrysler can confirm this is a big issue regarding the ram pickups! luckily there was no severe injuries but i now have lumbar back injuries and left shoulder injuries, not including what happened to others involved. Do i need to hire an attorney?..updated 09/14/17
I had the emissions recall/repair for the ecodiesel engines per the class action lawsuit between the epa and fca.fca claims that it would not effect power or gas mileage. My truck now has a significant lag from a stop as well as from 10 mph to about 20mph when one hits the gas and tries to accelerate. This decrease in power makes this vehicle dangerous especially when trying to pull on to a street that has oncoming traffic.
2014 ram 1500 laramie ecodiesel throwing fault code p203e reductant level sensor circuit intermittent/erratic. This fault is caused by crystallized diesel exhuast fluid (def) on the integrated sensor in the def tank. The sensor is unable to detect the amount of fluid in tank and will shut down engine after 500 miles if the tank is not replaced. I do believe after extensive research this is a manufacturing defect. There are two different recalls for this fault which are: number: 18-038-15 rev. B and number: 25-001-15 rev a. The first one covers a pcm flash for the 2015 ram and 2014 jeep grand cherokee. In the notes it says that this is for all 3 liter 8 speed transmissions. Which should also include a 2014 ram ecodiesel. The second one if for 2014-15 ram 2500,3500+ with 6.7l diesel engines. The issue i have with that is my vehicle is having that exact issue and needs the same services but it has a 3 liter engine.
The truck will roll away after placing gear in park.this has happened on many separate occasions.
Brakes are not needed to shift vehicle into drive reverse etc. This can be done when you drive the vehicle for the first time during the day. Key is also no necessary to 0lace vehicle into gear!
My vehicle is 2014 with 41,403 mile. The winn module went out where the key no longer recognized was recognized. I had a viper remote starter installed by an professional dealer, after the incident this dealer disconnect the remote and installed a new remote starter. It was told to me that this was the cause. If this was the cause of the module failing it would not have allowed my vehicle to run for over 1 1/2 weeks and the remote would not have had control of all the functions of my truck if it was a problem with the remote starter. The remote starter is the only thing that allow the ram 1500 to run as normal. I was advised by the dealership that this is a common problem but no recall has been done. I had to pay $373 to get this part replaced when its a known issue they go bad and they go bad with no relation to a remote starter being added to the vehicle. I feel this is unfair for chrysler/ram to not cover this part and put the blame on something else when its a known defective issue.
My truck stalled while i was driving home and suddenly shut off. This caused me to swerve missing a car next to me. I lost drivability but managed to pull to shoulder where i could not restart my truck. I had it towed and parked in front of my house. There is no recall fix yet. So now i'm stuck with no truck.
There is water coming inside the vehicle, with assumption that it comes from the rear doors. First time it was noticed there was only a minor impact: wet floor carpet in back. After that first event, we ensured the windows were always fully closed in order to see if there would be any other leak event.however following the heavy rain we have had in may in houston, while the car was parked in driveway without moving for 4 weeks, condensation was noticed on the windshield. Once opened the car was moldy inside on rear seats and kids car seats, floor carpet, etc... The back seats are wet (water pouring from them) and the floor carpet is wet including under back seats (electric cabling area). Also several areas start showing impressive rust including below driver seat and steering wheel (pedal area). The car is brand new, bought 3 months ago.
Vehicle cannot be locked without horn honking. Both dealer and chrysler have told me that uconnect 5.0 system has no means of disconnect or reprogramming to eliminate horn honking when car is locked. Local p.d. And california highway patrol confirm that it is a violation for horn to honk - except in emergency or as alarm. See ca. Vehicle code section 27001 & 28085. " locking door indication is a violation of the law." my business requires 24 hour service. Neighbor has told me they will call police, (understandably), if my horn awakens their children again. Chrysler contact told me the uconnect specialist he spoke to has the same issue on his vehicle.have made 3 contacts with dealer and 2 with chrysler whom say nothing can be done. It has been suggested that i, "remove the fuse each time you park - then lock the door." and if i forget to reinstall the fuse? seems this is a common source of noise pollution and unfortunately, a manufactures issue. Dealer has been less than helpful.
I started the truck and noticed that the controls on the steering wheel for the radio and blue tooth did not work. I also noticed that the horn did not work. I can not scroll through the information center to check the tire pressure, speed, oil life or any other items in the information center. I also do not know if this issue affects the air bag being able to deploy. I can not reset the oil life after i change the oil.
You already have an open investigation of this problem.pe 16-014.i have had two instances of the truck rolling away after placing the rotary shift knob into park.engine was running.first time i shifted into park, released the foot brake and it rolled.i moved the shifter to neutral then back to park and it engaged normally.the second time i placed the vehicle park and opened the door to exit.it started rolling away but i stopped it with the foot brake.i looked at the rotary shift control and it had an indicator light for "park".however, when i moved it to neutral i did not hear the normal click sound.placed it back in park and it worked normally.both incidents occurred at home (driveway) and the vehicle was completely stopped with engine running when they occurred.
Parked at eagle mountain lake boat dock to load my bass boat. Put the truck in park and got out to load my bass boat and the truck rolled into the lake,completely submerged in the water.. Have heard about the countless dodge rollaway complaints but this is unbelievable.. How many more vehicles owners have to experience this extensive insurance claims before a real investigation occurs these rotary shift knobs on the dash... They have an inherent problem.
Was advised to take truck in for recall reflash due to eco diesel settlement package. After recall fix was conducted, engine sluggish, shifting not smooth and miles per gallon dropped significantly. All this after a trip of 8 hours at legal speed limits.
My truck vibrates at speeds between 55 -68 mph.i no longer have 4 wheel drive and was told it is my right front differential.they need to replace the entire front end costing me close to $3,000.i have seen this as an issue on ram and dodge forums.it seems like if this is an issue with the vehicle there should be some sort of recall.this has been going on for a few years but the 4 wheel drive died last year but due to covid i did not get it fixed because i was working from home.i am now back to work and need to have it repaired.unfortunately the parts are on back order and at least a month away.i have 121,000 miles and i would hope to drive the vehicle for years to come but in these times $3000 is a difficult bill to take.
Bought a 2014 ram 1500 that had 36 miles on it. After about a month i noticed the vehicle would down shift hard. Took it to the dealership they applied an update to the transmission software ran fine for about two months than started lurching slightly between gear changes. Took it to the dealership again they reset the transmission and relearned the programming.the service department said that i should no longer have any issues with my transmission. It worked fine for a day or two and is now down shifting hard again. Apparently there's no way that they can fix my transmission so it runs like it's supposed to. The vehicle only has 2,500 miles on it. A brand new vehicle should not be having issues the transmission. Now i have to call the dealership again and make another appointment to have it looked at for the third time of course i also have to explain that the update they gave me the first time caused another issue. Fun times.
Rference multiple reports forwarded to your office surrounding ram's air-ride suspension systems'.these major concerns were first reported in early 2017 after returning to alaska. An official letter was sent to the fca group-italy, fca ceo, & their board of directors surrounding these life threatening incidents.while commuting on an arctic alaskan day "-40 degrees+" my ram instantly dropped while in motion, all safety equipment became unresponsive leaving me to skid in traffic to a stop.thank god no one was hurt during this experience.the vehicle was immediately taken to gene's chrysler, after sitting for days (being told there is no fix for this), fca was officially notified.gene's chrysler servicing agents stated that these issues where reported to fca but they don't know what to do about it.i asked why we were not informed by all the dealership servicing agents from colorado to washington to alaska when our ram was taken in for the many recalls?after days of sitting, the dealership servicing agents stated that a technician team had visited alaska a few months ago and they wanted to try something.a list of parts where exchanged, fuses replaced, and codes reset.after a few test drives they stated the vehicle should be good for awhile but they were not sure if this would permanently fix these issues.asking if the vehicle was completely safe (vehicle transports personnel for school & ministry) to operate, we were told they were not 100% sure but if the issue returned, bring it back to them immediately. Time and time again, the dealership servicing team stated that fca was not too concerned because alaska is only a small population of their consumer base. We contacted fca again to remind them winters' arctic weather would return soon, that we needed dire assistance for safety reasons.jan-feb 2018, we'd relive this experience again!
I had my truck at the dealer for a recall, i noticed my seatbelt wasn't locking when i pulled on the shoulder strap. I asked them to look into this when my vehicle was there. They did, said the seatbelt was defective, but chrysler was not going to cover this. After further review none of my seatbelt shoulder straps lock when you pull on them fast. I have a crew cab truck so that is 5 seatbelts with shoulder straps. My dealership was on the phone with chrysler for over an hour trying to get them to cover this safety defect, they just kept saying no, truck is out of warranty.after reading all these complaints, will my airbags deploy if i'm in an accident? i don't know and hope i don't have to find out the hard way. This happens all the time driving or standing still.the dealership told me the seatbelts are defective. This should be addressed asap,no one should have to pay for a safety issue.
The horn has a delay when pressed to sound off. It will honk seconds after you remove your hand from the horn. Not safe. Would not pass department of transportation inspection if it were a commercial vehicle.
I have a 2014 ram 1500 slt 4wd cc i bought it about 6 months ago. About a week ago my friend and i were about to take a drive and when i started it my friend whom is a mechanic said you either have an engine knock or an exhaust leek. Well i checked it out at the dealer and well the exhaust leak was due to a broken bolt in the manifold and then the dealer calls me and says you have a lifter taping they said the extended warranty would fix it but i have seen a couple of videos and forums and this really needs to be a recall on both im not the only one whom has had this problem i love my truck but if you spend the kind of money that we ram owners have this problem should be covered ive been treated wonderful by the dealer but this is something that needs to be recodnised by chrysler and fixed by chrysler ive only put 20000 miles on it it only has 82000 total this should not be a problem yet if at all i treat my truck like a part of thefamily it gets serviced regularly my truck should not be having these kind of issues please help do something about these problems someone needs to
Last night i parked my truck in my driveway like i been doing since i had the truck which i bought new and last night i parked like i usually do and this morning i was informed that my truck has rolled out out the spot where i left it to the edge of the street while still in park. It could have backed into another vehicle or even worse a kid
My def gauge is not working.the def tank is full but the gauge says my truck will not restart in 100 miles.i have taken to the dealer and it will cost over $3500 to fix this.this is the second time my def system has not worked on this truck and i have had to have it replaced.
2014 ram 1500 in motion when accelerating and maintaining speed rims surge and truck feels like it stumbles over itself and vibrates before settling in set gear its a constant issue now started a couple months ago noticeably i have had this truck for over 3 years
I have had 2 instances with the rotary shift on this vehicle. In both cases i had thought the the vehicle was in park when it was actually in reverse.when the first incident happened i was able to safely stop the vehicle without incident. However, when the second incident happened i had exited the vehicle with my wife as a passenger. Neither of us were able to stop it and continued backwards and struck a parked vehicle that was parked. This causedsignificant damage to both vehicles. Thankfully, no one was injured and now i am extremely careful when putting this vehicle into the park mode. I checked the push button ignition assuming that in an emergency i could stop the engine but found this would not work. If the circumstances were a bit different the outcome could have been verybad. The incident happened at a car dealers lot whth my vehicle backing and striking on of the cars on their lot.
Roll away after parking in driveway. I parked on my slight inclined driveway, placed the truck in park, exited the truck and walked to the front while my wife was exiting the passenger side and the truck began rolling backwards knocking my wife to the ground. I had to run down the driveway, jump in the truck and stop it. I started it and it was still in park, as i placed it when i parked it. I drove it back up the driveway and parked it and it was normal at that point. We were puzzled and assumed i must have not put in in park etc. But after hearing more reports of this decided to report this. I am a experienced and safe driver and always put my vehicles in park so i am not blaming myself anymore. My wife was ok, just shaken as it was snowy and cold out, and on the ground. Both of us could have been injured or if a child or adult was behind the truck it could have been worse, this does need addressed. I look forward to the feedback.
I had a big rain storm about 3 weeks ago that brought around 8 inches of rain into my area. There was a factory defect with the third brake light and satellite radio antenna seals that aloud water to enter the cab of the truck. Everything in the cab of the truck was soaked.i had 6 inches on standing water in the compartments. When i drove the truck after 3 days of raining water began to pour out from the headliner onto the dashboard. Dodge refused to do anything with the ram because it was 700 miles out of the warranty. A week after the storm, i started the ram to warm up one morning and when i went to get in the truck every warning light was on, it was beeping, i could to shift it into gear nor could i turn the truck off. Once i stepped out of the truck it locked the doors with the truck still running and i could not unlock the doors for an hour later.usaa has total my ram out but chrysler has not taken responsibility for this issue. After researching online the leak is a huge problem dating back to 2004.
Was traveling down i485 in charlotte nc. Going to beach. An all of a suddenthe truck has no power.i have no pedal it is gone . Had to get it off the side of the road an stoppedwith white smoke coming out the tail pipes . It was the fuel pump.that time . Nexted time it was the edge valve an sencer . Had no pick up an go .every since the v08 tune this truck has bad lag lag u can not sure when u r pulling out of an interceptionif u will get out safe . The lag is terrible.i loved this truck untill the tune . But now cant trust it. Got ot to pull camper but dont trust it nowwill not own another rameco or any thing else .
Me and my family (my wife & 2 kids: my oldest is 7 & my youngest is 3) were on a fishing trip. When returning to the boat launch, i backed my boat trailer into the water with my truck. The back tires of my truck are about 2 feet away from the water. I put my truck in park and set my emergency brake. My wife and youngest son got into the truck and began to buckle their seat belts as i set my boat onto the trailer. My oldest stayed on the land. After about 5 minutes of my truck motor running, while still in park, and with the emergency brake on. My wife, who is sitting in the passenger seat, hears somewhat of a pop noise and my truck starts backing into the water. My wife and youngest son are now racing to get out of their seat belts as the truck is starting to slowly sink. Once my wife grabs our son and sits him by her, i am able to get to the door they are by and i am pulling on the door, in water that is up to my chin deep, as she is kicking the door and holding the handle of the door. The door opens and i grab my son and wife and we swam to the boat launch. It is unknown of where the pop noise came from. My wife said it sounded like the emergency brake was released. My tragedy is still under investigation. I have no records as of yet like my police report. It is still being handled with the police department. As of pictures, i have one that i am trying to get from the guy who came tow my truck. I will have all these documents within the next few days.
Had the v08 done to my truck on may 14. The lag in the take off when u r stopped is going to kill somebody. When u give it gas it has a bad slow startat least 3 -5secondsbefore u have the get up an go an when u do it is like a rocket . Didnt do this before the v08 tune. An the rpmsr up almost to 1 an it setting still .this vo8 is a joke .it has messed up my truck . No good trying to pull a camper . Or even pull out with out a big space to do it in .
After receiving v08/v11 aem update november 18th, 2020 i am experiencing an average of 5-6 mpg loss in fuel economy (16.4 mpg mixed - down from 21.5-22 mixed) as well as experience severe acceleration lag. In terms of highway mileage i am struggling to get 20 mpg.current ecm: 68306456aicurrent tcm: 68234053ahfollowing the v08 emissions recall, drivability has been seriously reduced and has created dangerous throttle lag and improper automatic transmission gear selection. I would summarize these issues as turbo lag and improper shift mapping.when accelerating from a complete stop there is a 2-3 second lag before the vehicle begins to move even if the throttle is fully depressed. If you are executing a right or left turn into traffic or crossing an intersection this will leave you exposed to a "t-bone" collision.this behavior is even more pronounced when the vehicle has not been run (cold engine). Climbing a moderate hill shortly after pulling out of my driveway forces the driver to manually downshift the automatic transmission to first gear to get any forward travel. Again, the vehicle will rapidly accelerate after the 2-3 second lag. Once returning to "drive" at 15-25 mph the transmission will up-shift several gears and then begin slowing, dropping engine rpm to 1,000, again forcing a manual down-shift to second or third gear to maintain speed. The engine produces almost no power until the engine reaches 2000 rpm.all of this behavior began after the noted recall. I have contacted a ram dealer regarding this performance and was told that this is a common complaint. They mentioned that the factory was aware of this but has no remedy available."
Truck took brief periods where it would just suddenly die going down the road, then the last time running about 60 mph, it died not far from home and smoke billowed out from under the hood wafting its way inside the cab...son-in-law fought the steering and managed to bring it to a stop on the shoulder of the road...with my granddaughters in the back seat....they were almost overcome by this black obnoxious smoke and both suffered for the longest time a harsh, dry cough...i noticed there are limited recalls on this model of truck and none seem to be related to electrical fires under the hood...how ever these vehicles are unsafe and pose a significant hazard to all the motoring public...they should be recalled and all of them destroyed to protect the public and the passengers...dealership sated the 'brain box and starter burned up' and is not a warranty issue...but the health and well being of my grandchildren are far more important than chrysler's profit margin.
Cel light came on, took to dealer problem with def injector, cel came back on 3 more times before finally releasing the problem is with the scr in the def system
Accelerator when pushed down to to pass another car will stick to full throttle and not release. This is a very dangerous situation, could cause lost of life, due to the truck would reach top speed and not be able to stop it. My son reach over and put truck in neutral and l rolled to a stop. I was driving on a six lane road in town where speed limit is 45 mph. I feel there should be a recall on this problem or research done on it. Not sure what speed my truck went to, i was trying not to hit another car.
After the v08 recall aem update, the truck has no power when accelerating from a stop
The truck was running and sitting still i was in a line of cars. I put the truck in drive from park and it started goingin reverse while the engine is revving i had to use both feet on the brake pedal to get it stopped and it continued to try and go in reverse. I finally got the truck in park and let the engine stop revving. I then tried to put it in drive and couldn't get it to shift. Had to turn the engine off and back on again to get it to go in drive. It is unknown what caused this and i do not know what the cause could have been. It was a very unsafe situation since there was a car in front and a car behind the truck when this happened. There was no accident thankfully. There have been multiple issues with this truck as far as lights coming on and off when it is setting in the driveway no keys in it and no one touching it. It will honk and the doors will lock and unlock really fast again with no one near it and the keys hanging up. The truck has been to multiple dealerships and no one can find anything wrong with it. It has had all 12 recalls fixed.
Vehicle stalls randomlyvehicle stalls randomly while driving. Dealer can't find issue.vehicle just shuts off which in my opinion makes it unsafe. Dealer had a 'oh well good luck,trade it in and hope it doesn't stall' attitude.
When it is cold and raining, and the truck reaxhed 55 mph, the truck will jerk hard and the abs light and traction control light will come on and stay on. The dash will light up with the message, "anti-lock brake system service needed" and "4wd temporarily unavailable."
Saturday evening we were existing the interstate when i started to smell what seemed like a chemical smell. We could not figure out where this smell was coming from. As we proceeded down the highway, i started to get warm so i turned off the heated seat. When we arrived at our destination, i could still smell the something out of the normal. I begin to look all around. Smelling my jacket to make sure the kids didn't spill something on it, or just try to find where the smell was coming from. Finally, i turn around and realize my heated seat had caught fire. Thank god i had turned the seat warmer off moments earlier. Lucky for me, the truck did not go up in flames. The seat has a deep burn hole and my jacket (which was between the seat and myself) has 2 burns in it. I was unharmed but if it wasn't for me turning the seat off, i'm afraid of what may have happened. Our truck is still under an extended warranty and is now at the dealership to be repaired. However, i asked the dealership who is to report such things? they expressed that they were not sure, but they do not. We have an open case now through the dealership and waiting for further instructions.
When at highway speeds you get a bounceor wobble and i've tried everything wheel tires brakes rotors nothing fixes it and the dealership tells me they see nothing wrong. I just got this truck in may and feel like i made a mistake and i dont feel that its safe i try to stay off highway.
This is the third event or incident surrounding this air ride suspension system:1. The first incident was in jan 2017 after getting up to alaska.this time almost caused a major accident.without warning, the vehicle fell while driving and slid out in traffic.the seatbelt locked in place and malfunctioned.gene's chrysler ended up changing out some of the hardware and parts.2. The second incident was not as bad on november 2017, this time the warning lights came on.after allowing the truck to sit a few days waiting for chrysler to provide an appointment, and changing all the fuses, the suspension raised up again.3. Time number 3 was on january 31, 2018.this time, the truck was towed to gene's chrysler on february 01, 2018.the vehicle fell to the ground again and was not moving the speed limit because of slower traffic conditions.right now, the truck is still in the shop because more parts need to be replaced and the dealership is waiting on the manufacturers' recall for this air ride suspension system.we are very concerned about our team out there in alaska but now, this is happening to vehicles all over the country during real cold weather.it's like a national crisis now and needs everyone in the transportation department to please do something before someone dies because of these malfunctions and the defective air ride system. Now that it has been 40 days without our ministry having their vehicle in alaska, what will nhtsa do to help our pastor and ministry up there?it is so sad that no one seems to care until all these reports of injuries and even deaths, will the government step in and help the people now?also, will you please call the fca and the dealership service people to ask how much longer, another 10 days is too long? thank you for allowing us share what's going on & hope we will hear back from you more sooner than later
Noticed a small loss of radiator fluid, no visible leak, but did receive letter relating to a diesel egr cooler defect. Now am concerned about steam leaking into my engineoil and thus contaminating the engine oil with damaging effects on the engine internal parts. Egr valve should also be evaluated as it directly effects egr cooler.
Ram started dying in december 2017 while driving at hwy speed.all electric power remained, no check engine light illuminated.on or about 1 january 2018, engine shut down at highway speed and check engine light illuminated. That day, the engine surged 2 times without dying. Dealer verified a u1424 trouble code recorded 3 times. Dealer had the ram for about 1 week and could not make it duplicate, but indicated they were going to change the crankshaft senor. They did not do the repair. Dealer cleared the code and i retrieved it. The ram continued to die, but has not presented a trouble code. I filed a complaint with dodge/ram (case#33123585) to which they recently determined that until the ram cannot move under its own power, there is nothing they can do, despite the serious safety issue. Since december, the ram has now died approximately 7 times and surged more times than i remember. The first time i was pulled into the ditch as i tried to get off the highway. 3 times, i've narrowly missed being rear-ended after the ram died twice while navigating through a traffic light and once while turning at an intersection. This morning it again died as i was slowing down to navigate a traffic light. I didn't realize it died until i tried to accelerate. By that time, i barely had enough momentum to pull to the side of the road. The vehicle behind me had to slam on their brakes and swerve to keep from rear-ending me. That individual confronted me in a very hostile manner, but i diffused the situation when i explained what had happened. The attitude of dodge/ram is very concerning as their "policy" outweighs the safety of me, my family and others on the road. There are many complaints about this very issue, but ram states they've never dealt with the issue. I have photos on my cellphone of the instrument panel when the ram dies. I don't have access to the communications with ram
Our '14 ram 1500 was bought new on 6/22/15. On 8/9/15 our new 2014 dodge ram was parked on a incline in a friends driveway. My wife and son got in the truck, started it and put it into reverse to leave. After moving only a few feet my wife noticed the hostess coming down the drive to say goodbye. She placed the truck in park, got out of the vehicle leaving the door open and walked to the front of the truck. While giving the hostess a hug, hostess exclaimed your truck is rolling away. My wife tried to run back and around the door to get in the vehicle. Before she could, the open door took down two mailboxes and 4x4 timber posts they were mounted on and opened the door beyond the spring limit pushing into the front fender and popping out the front head light. The truck rolled across the street into the neighbors yard hitting a power poll where it came to stop. The impact to the poll was strong enough to pull down power lines. Upon reaching the vehicle a male guest noted the vehicle was still in park. My 9 year old was still strapped into his seat belt and significantly shaken up though not injured. The police and utility company arrived. The officer wrote his report up as vehicle malfunction. The tow truck operator said the vehicle could be driven in its condition. He pulled back the door to as close to closed as possible and tied closed. The rear bumper and tailgate are trashed. Insurance adjuster has given preliminary estimate of $8,900. The power company has not contacted us yet about their service call. I guess very fortunate that my wife did not make it around the door as she could have been crushed between the door and two mailboxes. Also thankful the the truck went straight across the street rather than turning and going down a long hill. Have contacted ram and was promised an investigator would be in touch within 3 days. 4th day and still no contact!
About 6 weeks after first oil change the filter started leaking. Filter was champ type and performed at a very respectable automotive shop. No oil leaks anyway else. New champ filter was put on and about a week later it started leaking. Now we have installed a wix filter and after one day no leaks. Has anyone else ever had a problem like this.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. The contact stated that the marine sticker displayed false towing capacity. The contact was concerned for his safety when towing. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 31,000.
I got into my truck to leave from work. When i started the engine, the "battery voltage low" warning instantly came on. Just a few seconds later, the "service power steering" warning came on as well. At this time the radio shut off. My truck then said: "battery saver mode" was on, and the radio came back on. The power steering was completely off/not working, so i was very grateful that i was sitting in the parking lot and not driving while this happened as it could've caused a major accident! i limped along slowly with my flashers on, to an autozone to have them check my battery. They were very busy, so even though my battery was less than a year old, i simply bought a brand new one to see if it fixed the problem with both the battery (which should not have been a problem at all) but more importantly, the power steering failure. Thankfully, i had a nearly straight shot to get home, but it was very hard to steer the truck, and i'm a big guy, so for the average person, they would have most likely had to call a tow truck. I have started it up every day since then which was 5 days ago, and i have absolutely no power steering at all. This should never happen on a vehicle...never. And i had zero problems with it, so why would it just fail for no apparent reason? there must be a recall for this; please advise. Thank you.
Was told the exhaust manifold bolt/studs warped and snapped and the exhaust manifold is warped, this happened on the driver side first but was covered under warranty but now happening on driver side out of warranty. Was told my dealership they see this often and was told fca has fixed the problem in newer years by using stronger material in the bolts. This informs me that fca knows of the problem but the dealers won't cover it as a design defect. Clearly there is a design defect with the exhaust manifold bolts as they should not be doing this and manufactures are suppose to account for these parts to see extreme temp changes. This has happened now twice to me but because i am no longer under warranty they won't fix the problem. The fist time was before 60,000 miles and now the other side is happening at 76,000 miles.to summarize the problem is warped exhaust manifold bolts and the manifold itself.
I have gotten 5 phone calls of people calling me and telling me they saw on the news that they saw on tv(the news channel) that there is a recall on my truck for faulty rearaxles and a faulty reardrive shaft that has to be replaced. I"ve put in my vin number 6 times and get no answer of these parts to be replaced. I just bought a 2014 dodge ram, 1500, 4x4 truck from a dealer who screwed over me once before, but decided to try them again. I also caught the tail end of the recall on the news which said the same thing the others saw about my truck..so what is up?
I had the same issue as the current recall for the cars and suv rolling away while in park. I have video from my dash camera, the dealership and corporate office also has the video. They claim i just left if in drive, but in the video you can clearly hear the truck shifted into park. The vehicle starts rolling approximately 1 and a half minutes after i parked it in my driveway. I came back out of my house to find the truck had shifted into drive and had crashed up against my workbench in my carport. The truck is still currently at the dealership, and they still claim it is operating normally. (they cannot duplicate the problem).
I had 2 more recall notices sent to our house in regards to this vehicle. I was unable to get the recalls done between the date they arrived here and the first of this year due to some health issues. Since recovering from the issues i got on this site to see what exactly the recalls were and now nothing pops up when i enter the vin #. I called the dealer as well and asked and was told there is no recall at this time. I find this funny since ive gone to oither sites and looked up recalls and this vehicle has a history of 12 recalls. I as well know that not all of the recalls have been addressed.
The dail shifter on our truck both directions reverse and forward will not go. We have to shut the truck off and do this afew time to reset the computer to be able to move the truck. Took this in to get fixed and they said they can't find the problem on a meter and we took extra insurance for this kind of problem. I would like some answers before we are stuck in 114-degree weather. At all different time when you try to drive night, day, stop sign, stoplight. It's happening often can't add that on when did this happen? aug 30th was the last time!
Diesel exhaust fluid (def wasn't mix with the fuel to make the truck run properly.truck won't stay start.when truck start only go 30mph.has been in shop 10 times since i purchased it in may 2015.it is in the shop with no eta on the part so i am in a renter since 6sept2016.the dealership only cover 5 days of renter. So i am responsible for the remain of renter until truck repaired and still making my truck payment of $613.00.one time i was on the highway and it just stop wouldn't start at all had to be tow to the shop.the rest of the stop and go was on streets.
The dealership says it is a clock spring in the steering wheel that causes my left blinker to stay on. And also shows a warning light to stay on. I am also wondering if a dealership can show all recalls are up to date without the repairs being done. Thanks in advance.
While coming to a stop; traffic light, stop sign, etc. I can feel a hard jerk.i believe it's the transmission shifting to a lower gear but i'm not for certain.the hard jerk doesn't happen too often maybe once a day, but when it does it's very noticeable.i'm concerned this is causing additional stress and fatigue to my transmission and something will either snap or break.
For the 5th time, my truck has stalled when i come to a complete stop. I have to shift to p and restart.not sure if anyone else is experiencing this issue.
The fuel sensor fails causing the cruise control not to work and my gas gauge drops to empty.this can happen upon starting my truck or driving down the freeway at 75 mph.
2014 ram 1500 in motion when accelerating and maintaining speed rims surge and truck feels like it stumbles over itself and vibrates before settling in set gear its a constant issue now started a couple months ago noticeably i have had this truck for over 3 years
I have been to ram dealers in las vegas several times in the past 16 months to inquire about the shift interlock system recall and they always tell me that the part for replacement is not available at this time and they will call me when they get the part . 2. I haven't been called or mailed a link recall notice for the cruise control system recall. I have also had my truck inthe shopfor air bag sensors failure messages. Most recently february 2018 and the messages keep repeating.i have been told that they have replaced the seat sensors and wiring harnessesseveral times the last time they had my truck for 4 days without furnishing a loan or rental car. I'm a 100% disabled veteran and use a wheelchair this is my only vehicle with a wheelchair lift installed to load, unload and transport my wheelchair what are my options?
Cruise control functionalities is not working with 100 percent consistencies.when the cruise control is set active, it cannot be deactivated or cancel, the only way to disengage the active cruise control is by stepping on the brake to cancel or deactivate the cruise control. I believe this is a safety concern what if the cruise control can not be disengage.
On 06/12/2019, i had the v08 recall (aem modification update) done on my 2014 ram 1500 ecodiesel.this recall was required as part of an emissions related lawsuit.fca advised that the updated software is not expected to change any of the vehicles attributes to include vehicle performance, driveability, and fuel economy.after having the recall work done, i have noticed a serious concern regarding the acceleration of the vehicle from a stop (especially when the engine is cold or not fully warmed up).when accelerating from a stop, there is a delay in the acceleration which i can best describe as feeling like "severe turbo lag." when trying to cross a busy intersection or trying to merge into traffic, if you try to accelerate quickly, the vehicle does not respond like it did prior to the recall work.after pushing the accelerator harder and getting through the lag in acceleration, the turbo finally kicks in and the vehicle accelerates quickly because you have to basically "floor it." i also noticed when driving up an incline and stopping at a stop sign, while continuing gradually up the incline the vehicle does not respond to light/gradual pressing of the accelerator.pressing the accelerator hardercauses the turbo to kick in and the vehicle to downshift which causes the vehicle to accelerate quickly .on 06/26/2019, the dealership tested it and test drove it for 12 miles and noting that they "did not experience anything abnormal when compared to like vehicles" and "vehicle performing as designed."my wife and icontinued to notice the same issues and i contacted fca again.they said they would document it and said that i could take it to the dealer again.i told them that i was not going to waste my time and reiterated that this issue was clearly a result of the update.fca closed my complaint.
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. While driving 70 mph, the engine revved and the entire instrument panel illuminated. Also, the vehicle accelerated uncontrollably and then decreased with a knocking noise present. Furthermore, when the brake pedal was depressed, the engine continued to rev. The vehicle was serviced at texas dodge (7800 i-40 frontage rd, amarillo, tx 79106, (806) 353-6343) per nhtsa campaign number: 18v332000 (electrical system, vehicle speed control), but the remedy failed to repair the failures. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken back to the same dealer and the software was updated again, but the cause of the failures could not be determined. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was 127,000. *dt
Vehicle does not accelerate properly. While attempting to merge onto theinterstate my check engine light came on and as i pushed the gas pedal down to get up to speed to merge into traffic the engine revved very fast but the truck began to slow down. I had to pull off the highway after almost getting rear ended and let the engine idle down and nurse the accelerator to get the truck up to speed and back on highway. If gas pedal is depressed hard or quickly it seems engine power is not going to the transmission. This is the second time this has happened to me in this vehicle. The first time the problem went away on its own before i had time to get it diagnosed. This is a very dangerous problem and hopefully it will be corrected before someone is hurt or killed as i have found many others online with dodge ram trucks having the same problem. If accelerator is pushed slowly and partially the truck will pick up speed.
The truck has an exaust leak. It's on the passenger side manifold. The bolt broke for some reason and is a big common issue in these trucks. There needs to be a recall because the bolts used wasnt strong enough to with stand pressure and corrosion. My cruise control also no longer works like it should. It will go into cruise control very rarely and when it does it's hard to get it out. I have to shut the truck off most of the time to get it out of cruise control mode. The lights that luminate the press buttons in the steering wheel flicker randomly. So it tells me it must be a wiring issue of some sort. I've contacted a dodge dealer ship and they are aware of the problem but they refuse to fix it as they say it's normal wear and tear. I'm afraid with the exaust leak the extra heat in the engine bay may result in melted wires or even worse a fire. Thank you for reviewing this problem.
Driving down highway came upon another vehicle doing 40mph decide to pass this driver. As i passed the driver at about 60mph when i let up on the gas pedal it went to the floor on its own and excelerated to 95 mph i was on the brake to try and slow the vehicle and after about 5-10 seconds the gas pedal returned to the normal position and vehicle then slowed down. A light illuminated on the dash and according to the user guide the light is the electronic throttle control light. In the description of the problem it states that "you may experience reduced performance, an elevated/rough idle" it seems that ram already knows of this problem with the elevated idle the book just doesnt state that the elevated idle can increase when the vehicle is being driven or in drive
In may i brought my truck into my local ram dealership for a mandatory recall for the ecodiesel engine system as part of a class action lawsuit settlement with the epa. The truck received batch of new software that significantly damaged its ability to accelerate safely from a stop. There is currently a 2-4 second delay between my pressing the gas pedal, and receiving a response from the engine. This has led to near misses, as the delay isn't always predictable. It is worse starting from a stop heading uphill. This delay is wholly a part of the recall installed on my vehicle in may. It had not experienced this type of delay prior to the service. The vehicle also suffers from delayed response while moving, but this is a second or two, and can be predicted and accounted for. The delay from start is abysmal, and unsafe. My life, and the lives of my family members, have been placed at risk due to fca's inability to meet emission requirements without compromising the safe operation of my vehicle. To add insult to injury, dealers know about the issues, and the ecodiesels are bringing extremely low trade-in value. I would not have bought this truck in the first place if it drove the way it is today.

Driver heading down hill used the + and - indicators to manually put the transmission into 3rd gear. Going approximately 60/70 mph heard the transmission slip into 2nd gear and the rpm's began to increase. The vehicle continued to accelerate through the manual breaking of the driver. The driver took the next exit placing the vehicle into neutralwhen a transmission sensor flashed. Still with no gas the engine continued to accelerate. The driver who was able to place the vehicle into park off the exit turned the vehicle off and when turning back on engine continued throttle as if in full acceleration. Vehicle was turned off and towed to vista autogroup in silverthorne, co. Vehicle was repaired finding a faulty acceleration pedal sensor.

Hi, (to chrysler)the facts:1.- my truck suffer of a delay when you try to start moving, from the moment that you press the gas pedal and the moment that the truck respond and start moving. I can say is about 1 to 2 seconds delay2.- the delay caused this week to be almost rolled over forincoming traffic. When you are at the very congested intersection and you need to get in to the incoming traffic fast this is not possible with this truck3.- the truck does not change gears when it is lacking of power, you can press the gas pedal for about one inch an it does not do anything.4.- again when you need to change lanes or you need to advance in a hill it does not happen. When you press the pedal you need to go all the way down for the truck to respond and when it happens it changes to a lower gear in such way that instead of having acceleration it is decelerating instead.5.- when you need to start moving the truck slowly to approach some hing it will not do that it will jump andat that point you are close to crash it on the thing that you are approaching6.-i gave you 2 months trying to become more familiar with the truck behavior, but what i found is that i can manually change the gears and make the truck to respond as a normal vehicle, changing gears gradually when it is losing powerif i can make the truck to change gears with out jumping 4 gears down why your computer is not capable of do it?i believe that is unacceptable.i pretty sure that the truck can have computer issues, or the gas pedal transmitter or the gas actuator have issues, or the computer program is not working as a planned, or transmission issuesi need your help solving these issuesthank you very much
When accelerating around slower car my accelerator stuck and continued to accelerate until i turned off engine.

2014 dodge ram 1500.consumer writes in regards to vehicle unintended acceleration and steering wheel wire harness recall repairs.the consumer stated the vehicle accelerated and crashed into 3 vehicles. Updated 08/7/2017
Long crank times before starting starved of fuel like it is out am told it will cost around $1000 to fix it timp .a relay for the fuel pump.also have issue with cruise already replaced it only 60000 miles on the vehicle.
My vehicle suddenly and dramatically accelerates when descending steep hills, without any depression of the accelerator pedal.when this happens, the engine rpm abruptly increases from around 1500 rpm to 3000 rpm or more, with a corresponding increase in vehicle speed.this typically happens in first and second gear. After i slam on the brake to reduce speed, the engine speed temporarily returns to normal (1000-1500 rpm) then the vehicle accelerates on its own again.this does not happen when descending gentle hills.this has been happening since the vehicle was brand new and is still occurring now, 6 years later.the dealer attempted to fix the problem when the car was new, but without success.
.my pick-up averaged 24 per gallon between local and expressway driving. Expressway driving only (for example, to niagara falls in 2015) averaged 27 miles per gallon. Following replacement of spark plugs and oil change and 2 factory recalls my pick-up lost power and could barely do 20 miles per gallon. The engine became very loud. The longer i drove it, the less mileage i got -- the engine also began howling/whistling as i tried to increase speed. In order to maintain speed, i had to constantly press my foot to excelerate, even going down inclines.i had to continuously bring my pick-up back to the dealership in st. Charles, illinois because various systemsbegan to fail-- safety breaks, fuel related black box, dashboard panel signals , etc.i expressed concern about the stress on my transmission and engine. Eventually, by process of elimimation, service department revisited the 2 recalls -- one of which was the cruise control recall.when i brought it in again, they found 6 leaks located on the top of the engine.anything above 50-55 mph is difficult. I feel that the transmission does not change gears in a timely fashion, and sometimes not at all.the rpm is very high and the engine remains in exceration mode either too long or, at higher speeds, never kicks in
While waiting at a stop light and then stepping on the accelerator the ram went into limp mode and did not go past 15 mph. The ram did not turn on any light to notify me of an issue. I had to forcefully take it out of limp mode therefore risking the transmission to get damaged. There was a big truck behind me making a left who thankfully noticed the ram stopped working and patiently waited for me to move out of the way.i turned it off and turned it back on and it started working again. Seems like a recall issue on rams as i have been reading this has happened to hundreds of people.

The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. While driving approximately 60 mph, the cruse control did not engage. On other occasions, the cruise control did not deactivate. The failures occurred for approximately one month. The vehicle was taken to baxter jeep/ram/chrysler (7713 s 19th street, belleview, ne 68147) where it was diagnosed that the harness for the steering column was shorting out and needed replacement. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 45,000.
I own a 2014 ram 1500 with a 3.0l eco diesel. There was a federal class action lawsuit that was handed down and the outcome was an approved engine modification (aem). The aem was a reflash of the ecm and tcm. After the recall was performed, the performance of my truck dangerously impacted. If i drive my truck before the engine reaches operating temperatures over 150degrees, there is significant acceleration delays. It usually takes me 5-10minutes of driving or more than 20minutes of idling (warming up) to get the engine up to operating temperatures. I can push on the accelerator petal and wait 3-5 seconds before the truck reacts, then i get pushed back into my seat and sometimes spin the drive tires. This is extremely dangerous, especially when i am turning into oncoming traffic, or trying to overtake another vehicle on the highway. Also, prior to the engine reaching operating temperatures, i now experience 'turbo flutter' this is where too much air is forced into the intake manifold and the air is pushed back through the turbo. The truck acts as if the breaks are pulsing. Similar to the above, it happens when i am accelerating, not with the accelerator pushed to the floor, just normal, conservative driving.a few other changes i have found after the aem, i have lost significant fuel economy, greater than 10%, and diesel exhaust fluid (def) consumption is significantly higher. These last 2 items do not directly effect the drivability of my truck but if i had know these things would have happened after the recall, i would not have had the recall performed.

2014 ram 1500 sudden, unexpected acceleration from 900 rpm to approx 3,000 rpm range, while descending rough terrain at very critical low speed.*mw
On february i drove from my home several miles to a fast food restaurant taking an interstate on the way.i used my cruise control on my way there and just pressed the brake to disengage it when i exited the interstate.i then continued to the drive to the restaurant where i pulled into a line to the drive through window as i moved through the line i would apply my brake to stop and as cars pulled forward i just let my foot off the brake to slowly move forward then pressed the brake again to stop.i did this several times then suddenly when i took my foot off the brake my truck suddenly accelerated and ran into the car in front of me before i could stop it. The driver of the other vehicle and i were not injured and drove to the parking lot to exchange insurance information. Since the time of the accident i recently checked for recalls om my truck and found one related to the cruise control nhtsa # 18v-332 which could be related to my accident.i have recently had the recall service done june 30, 2018 at my local dodge dealer.
When i stopped the truck, i accidentally turned off the key before putting the transmission in park.i saw smoke come from under the dashboard and smelled electrical wires burning.the transmission did go into park.after that the truck started fine, the only noticeable thing is the cruise control no longer works.fortunately no actual vehicle fire resulted from the incident.i am taking the truck in for service, the dealer had never heard of the issue, but will look into it.

On way home gas pedal stuck 3 times, had to stand on brakes move to shoulder, and put into park , engine rev high and turn off.very dangerous almost had a collison, 3rd time all dash lights came on brake warning lights came on.
I have owned this truck for a month and a half and now it is slamming into gear between 2nd and 3rd gear. At 30 mph.and then it downshifts very hard when slowing!this is a nightmare. It is also vibrating on the highway and it feels like something is going on with the front end. I am bringing it back to the dealer but im sure i will get the same answer as everyone else.that there is no solution for this problem but they know about it. There is a thread for this issue. This truck was not cheap and i had a 93 ford that didn't do this stuff.this is not right and the more i read online this is a ongoing issue and the dealership can not fix it. So are we just suppose to drive around these 30k plus trucks with this issue.the more i look into it this is only one of the issues but i wanted to list my complaint and will also do so to anyone who will listen.wish i never bought this truck!!!!!they need to come up with a solution because this is unacceptable.

I was driving my truck down the highway at about 70 mph when a engine light came on and the truck just stopped working. It completely stalled,it was difficult to steer, but luckily i was able to pull over safely.i looked up the warning light and it said it had to do with the crank shaft sensor.the truck would not turn over and i had to have it towed. My truck has now been sitting at a dodge dealership for 2 months and they are saying it will be another month until they might get the crankshaft sensor in needed to fix it. Here is the thing, dodge is well aware of the problem.a problem that is so wide spread they literally do not have anymore parts to fix it. They have a recall for it for vehicles manufactured in the us with a work around until they get parts made but because my truck was manufactured in canada they refuseto put my vin in with the recall so they can use the work around. I have been in contact with dodge and have gotten no where. I have another recall that has not been fixed and they say cannot be fixed until they get the crankshaft fixed. This other recall they have known about for over a year and they would tell me to take it on the highway and drive it. Now they are telling me what a fire hazard this recall is.
After having the aem update completed, i lost 5mpg in fuel economy (from 23 mpg combined, to 18 mpg combined), i also am experiencing an incredibly unsafe amount of acceleration lag (4-6 seconds). When pulling into traffic travelling at 40+mph, this lag in acceleration causes me to roll into traffic with no power or ability to accelerate until the engine decides to kick in.this lag in acceleration is the biggest concern as the duration of lag is inconsistent and unpredictable. I do not feel safe in this vehicle and am not confident in it's performance anymore. I, like many other owners would like to get rid of this truck. I think fca should take bake the truck becuase it has become a financial/safety nightmare. As of january 2019, i have spent over $7000 on the exhaust system prior to the aem update coming out (egr cooler clogged, turbo hoses bad, etc.) luckliy, i just had the egr cooler replaced under the new warranty but the drivability (good fuel economy and power) is no longer present. If this truck functioned like this when i first test drove it, i would never have bought it.

Air bag light on for two months,had a tech look at itclock spring kit sensor bad ,he said odd as truck is still pretty new, safety concern it controls deployment of air bag,controls horn, cruise control,and engine interface functions:or oil pressure,oil temp,tire pressure display ,the fact that the spring semester can control that many safety features and fail. In less than five years is of need to investigate as repairing is only dealer part and cost is. Cost prohibited as most safety features should have a ten year lifetime at least.a refrigerator does and it runs 24/7.

All buttons on front right side of steering wheel (cruise control, gear+/-) have completely stopped functioning. Vehicle has 44,000 miles, steering wheel wire harness was supposedly replaced a year ago under recall
Acceleration/ cruise control issue:i had the vehicle's cruise control engaged at the posted speed limit (70 mph) on the interstate.i accelerated to avoid a bottleneck in an area where 3 lanes merged into two.when i lifted my foot off the gas pedal, the vehicle continued to accelerate.i pumped the brake several times to reduce the speed, but i could not resume acceleration because the gas pedal locked to the floor.i placed the vehicle in neutral and coasted to the shoulder.i turned the vehicle off, manually lifted the pedal and turned the vehicle back on.a display message stated: service electronic throttle control; but the vehicle seemed to operate fine.i had this event happen two more times.once was in a similar scenario, the other i replicated it on my own.i contacted the ram customer assistance center, they advised that i take it to the dealer for a diagnosis.if it is due to a recall it will be fixed for free, otherwise the diagnosis costs and repair will be on me.my concern is that i had several recalls fixed on november 23, 2018.this issue had never happened in the past until it was serviced for those recalls.i had an individual at autozone attempt to download the trouble codes; no codes were found.i've read forums online about similar issues, but dealer(s) were not able to find the cause during diagnosis.the vehicle only has 33,000 miles.
The contact owns a 2014 dodge ram 1500. While the vehicle was coasting downhill, the vehicle lunged forward and decreased in speed.

My trucks 'service electronic throttle control' light (lightning bolt) comes on both when starting my vehicle and when driving my vehicle. When it comes on when i try to start the truck, it wont change out of the gear it is in (ie i cant go faster than 15-18mph). It sometimes goes off if i turn the engine on and off multiple times. The more dangerous timing of it is when the light comes on while i'm driving.this either causes me to downshift into a lower gear which throws me forward and revs the engine in excess of 3000rpm, or while i am stopped, the rpms climb without any foot on the accelerator. If i take my foot off the brake while this happens, i accelerate forward either up to 18mph or 30mph depending which gear it is 'stuck' in. I have taken it to one local ram dealer 6 times reporting the same issue. The did flash updates, replaced accelerator pedal sensor, brake sensor, repaired connector for the accelerator pedal sensor, and replaced throttle body (all of which at the time, they said each individual component was the root of the problem). I have taken it to another local ram dealer, and they attempted to fix it with 4 and a half hours of diagnostic time. They replaced the throttle body and replaced a cable/connector and low and behold, the problem still exists. This is very dangerous for so, so many reasons. I note that not only the check engine light have come on, but the traction control light, abs light, service 4wd light, ! temp light, check brake light, and of course the service electronic throttle control light.
My truck keeps rolling forward or backwards when put into park, also my cruise dont shut off or turn on half the time.

I called the dealer where i bought this truck and they said that is the way they come from the manufacturing plant. I was told that the 17 inch wheel was the same height as the 20 inch wheel so it was ok. I was also told that they do not advise people to drive more than 50 miles on the 17 inch spare.
Dodge ram steering recall alert- this same situation happened to me in my model 2014 dodge ram 1500 big horn. Recall needs to be extended the nut holding the steering knuckle and right control arm separated while driving. I felt a huge pop and jerk of the steering wheel. Luckily i was traveling at a low rate of speed. I took to suncoast dodge dealer immediately, he said i was lucky i could if i was on the freeway which i was shortly before. He said he has never seen a nut fall off before, but it did and, could rolled and caused serious accident. I was charged for repair and picked up truck today 2/5 then saw recall for this exact situation released today by chrysler fiat, but my vehicle was notincluded.
I was driving along on route 220 near lock haven pa in which they are doing construction there is uneven payment pot holes etc i was doing 45 mph at the time due to construction zone when i hit a pot hole i heard a loud pop noise so i immediately pulled over looked at my truck didn't see anything so i continued driving apon arriving at my home ten mile up the road i noticed steering was funny once in my driveway i looked over my truck again to my surprise i found a crack on the knuckle at the upper ball joint the knuckle had cracked right at the upper ball joint on the casting seam i called dealership and they said they haven't heard of such a thing after hrs of arguing with them to fix it i had it towed to the dealership where they had the truck for a week and told me it wasn't covered under warranty keep in mind i only had the truck for 2-3 months and it should of been covered i know dodge has had issues in the past with suspension problems and i find it a great concern as this could of caused a serious crash very disappointed with dodge at this point i'd rather not even keep the truck as i feel it's not very safe
The contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. While driving various speeds, the wheels began to wobble and the vehicle began to sway on the road. The contact stated that the vehicle was not able to be driven following the failure. The traction bar fractured. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 47,000.
I believe our truck should be part of most of the recalls listed fo ram trucks. Our tires are wearing on the outside,they won't fix.the transmission was replaced at twenty some thousands miles, and my wife being the primary driver said that when you come to a complete stop the truck sometimes jumps forward.the rear differential seal was replaced.i'm afraid that we might lose our wheels on the road.there is also a chemical smell coming from the engine that everyone can smell but the dealer.currently working with chrysler and been driving a rental for almost a month.
Truck when placed in park has rolled away from me into the roadway on more then5 occasions. Truck was parked and the parking break was in-gauged t, keys where not in the vehicle and this occurred more then 5 minutes after the truck was parked.
Was driving my 2014 ram truck down the on ramp to rt 104 when the rear tire exploded. It was a goodyear wrangler p275 / 60r20 with approx 20k miles on them.always rotated on each oil change. Lucky i was not up to speed when it blew. I have enclosed a picture which shows the damage around the outer side wall from the explosion.
2014 ram 1500driving at 48 mph, tire has a catastrophic blowout. The tire blew from one side to the other in a straight line. Good thing this was on a two lane road and not on a interstate at 75 to 8o mph here in texas is allowed. If this happened on a interstate i would not be here to write this. Now i have check with my tire dealer, he said this is not the first one he has seen. He sent this tire to goodyear.then i googled this and more showed up.i think goodyear should recall these wrangler p275/60 r20 sa and any other that this has happen to. Maybe ram should go to some other tire for their reputation. I hope no one has been killed because of this tire failure. Picture included.
While driving the vehicle home from, after hitting the speed limit of 65, the vehicle started to shimmy, side to side, and continued at a higher speed.i called the dealer, and returned the truck to have it serviced, but it did not help.i was told it was flat spots on the tires, and to give it some time.after almost 4000 miles, and 4 visits back for service, i was told there was nothing they could do.all the trucks ride the same.after further investigation, i found out through various forums, that a lot of people are having the same problem, and if the tires are changed out, the problem will go away. The dealer refused to change out the tires.the tires in question are goodyear wrangler sr-a, size p275/60r20.
Instrument cluster flickers and fades.impacts sensors - air pressure monitors alarms come on even though there is no issue with the air pressure monitors, having 2 different shops check on them and advising that they dont need replacing and that the sensors are good.also triggered an alert that the car was not in drive - even though it was in drive. The truck would no go - i had to ashift back to park, turn the truck off and restart it also impacts in cabin lighting - it turns off and while driving it will turn on.this is a serious safety issue and there is no recall for it.shop is unwilling to investigate and offers solution of replacing the whole instrument cluster which is over $1000 usd for the part alone.this issue is ongoing - and it seems to be impacting many many trucks.
When i took my truck in for routine maintenance service and tire rotation, i was told that all 4 goodyear wrangler sr-a dot m5ynjb1r0314 need to be replaced and they were not rotated because of tiny cracks in the sidewalls all the way around each tire. The tread is still like new and only 13,158 miles. These tires were on my new truck when i purchased it. Just to compare: my 2005 ram still had the original tires on it with only slight wear on tread when i traded it in 9 years later.
Front rotors warped at 39,000.front wheel bearings changed at 44,000.
I purchased a 2014 dodge ram 1500 and it has approximately 22000 miles i've had 3 flat tires within the last 6 months all four tires have little tread left and wondering if there is any other complaints or recalls on these tires the goodyear wranglers sra.
Purchased this 2014 dodge ram 1500 double cab from fremont toyota in 11/2019.own 2/24/2020 i took the vehicle in to have a flat fixed at firestorn tire store a sales representative went out to inspect the tire and said it showed signs of dry rotten. And look at the rest of tires and said they will need to be replaced. Then i took the car back to dealership and spoke with a sales manager, he said he would pass the message to appropriate person. The receptionist took my number a gave me the general manager number, who i called and he said unfortunately a 30 day warranty own used vehicle after i explained what was going, telling him, i never had to replace tires own previous card with in 2 1/2 months. No response. His name is [xxx], phone number [xxx]. I was also told by a shop manager that i should have inspected the vehicle my self. I told him thats not my job. He was very rude and unprofessional. I don't have 800.00 to 900 dollars. And i am a disabled veteran and need to go to hospital own a monthly base to have my blood checked because i am own warfarin a blood thinner medication. With tires that are deteriorating i can't do that.

2014 dodge ram 1500 factory goodyear tires blow out during interstate driving in hershey pamodel oem goodyear wrangler 275/60r20 i was getting into i-83 at speed of 45mph when i heard a sound. And just down the road in i-83 when i was at speed of 60mph the tire sensor came up showing psi <17. These tires were rotated around 5k miles and nitrogen gas used.if i was driving at the speed of the traffic (>70mph) when the tire blow out took place it would have caused a major road accident.after it was taken for repair it showed a lateral blow out of the tire.
I recently purchased a 2014 dodge ram 1500 4x4 truck that came equipped from the factory with 20 inch wheels. I have discovered that the spare is a factory 17 inch full sized wheel. I was advised by my local tire dealer that it would be highly dangerous to travel any distance with the a spare that differentiated that much in diameter and could infact cause damage to the vehicle which probably would not be covered by the factory warranty. When i inquired at the ram national customer center i basically got the run around. They did however give me a case number [xxx] their phone number is 866-726-4636. I believe this could cause a situation that could result in injury to an unsuspecting purchaser that was not aware of thewheel size difference and drove unkowiningly a great distance with the spare provided by the factory.

I bought a new dodge 2014 1500and looked under my truck for the first time and discovered it came with a used 17 inch spare tire i think it is very unsafe to replace a new 20 inch tire with a used 17 inch ...updated 05/14/15
When at highway speeds you get a bounceor wobble and i've tried everything wheel tires brakes rotors nothing fixes it and the dealership tells me they see nothing wrong. I just got this truck in may and feel like i made a mistake and i dont feel that its safe i try to stay off highway.
8/18/18 at about 1:15 pm while traveling south on us 220 in the left lane in the city of williamsport pa during a cloudy but dry day at 55 mph,the right front tire blew out for no apparent reason which disabled my vehicle and did approximately $4500 damage.fortunately, there were no injuries.the tire was a goodyear wrangler sr-a size 275-60-20.the tire was approximately 1 year old with 8/32 tread remaining at time of the blow out.i did not hit anything to cause the blowout.after the blow out,i pulled over theleft side of the highway in the median to inspect the damage.i then limped the truck back to the right side of the road and into the grass to get to a safe location for me and my family.at that point, i proceeded to remove the tire and install the spare at which point it then started raining.i believe the safety risk was the goodyear tire.the tire has been sent to goodyear to examine.they stated there was no factory defect, however, they refused to send me a copy of their report despite numerous requests.i still have the tire in my possession.goodyear also refused to provide any kind of warranty coverage despite the fact the blow out occurred within the warranty period and mileage.i do have a dash cam video of the blow out however it is in .mov format i was not able to upload it - i can provide a cd upon request.more information is available than what i was able to provide in this complaint.
