2014 RAM 1500 Unknown Or Other Problems

EPS Malfunctioning in an instant on the road. Never had this issue before, as I am driving on a curve, EPS or in this case a Red Flashing Steering wheel came on and my steering wheel locked almost causing an accident to myself, my safety was in a risk in an instant.

My 2014 Ram 1500 ABS light, traction control, and brake light popped up and if I drive it for a short bit and stop and shut it off and crank it up the light don’t come back on. It has been doing this all the time through the winter and now says on all the time. All so the back up camera doesn’t power up when you first start vehicle for about two minutes on the radio display. The camera not coming on creates a big safety issue when backing up. We have small grandchildren and this makes it a big safety concern.

Background: Vehicle purchased in Madison, WI at Schoepp Motors (July 2019). Has been continuously titled, registered, and insured in Wisconsin for over 6 years. Vehicle is fully legal in the U.S. and has a valid Wisconsin title. Issue: The fuel tank strap rusted and failed. This is a well-documented problem for Ram trucks, and Stellantis created an Extended Warranty (Code X75) to address the issue. Stellantis’ database still lists this VIN as a “Canadian market” vehicle. Because of this coding error, U.S. dealerships cannot process coverage under the Fuel Tank Strap Extended Warranty (X75, 12 years / unlimited miles). The X75 program exists specifically due to a safety concern (fuel tank strap corrosion). Despite multiple attempts to resolve this with Stellantis, I have only been directed to “contact a broker,” which does not address the underlying database problem. Timeline: 2019: Vehicle purchased in Madison, WI. 2019–2025: Vehicle continuously titled, registered, and insured in Wisconsin. August 26, 2025: Dealer confirms VIN is coded as Canadian and cannot process warranty coverage. August 27, 2025: Case opened with Stellantis US Customer Care (#[XXX]). Multiple calls and emails → Stellantis repeatedly instructs me to contact a broker, without identifying required documentation. I offered to provide Wisconsin title, registration, and insurance history. Broker consulted → confirmed import documents are not retained after 5 years (per CBP retention rules). Stellantis refuses to escalate meaningfully; no path forward provided. Concern: The X75 program is a safety-related warranty that Stellantis is refusing to honor for a U.S. resident with long-term U.S. ownership. All reasonable avenues with Stellantis Customer Care have been exhausted. I am requesting regulatory review and intervention to compel Stellantis to correct the VIN market assignment and honor the X75 safety program.

Driving under normal conditions, truck had been running perfectly for the 3 months I owned it. Coming down a hill on the freeway, lights started blinking on the dash, then making a knocking noise, lost pressure (all control) of gas pedal, then white smoke from drivers side, then grey smoke, then completely engulfed in flames within 5 minutes of dash blinking. Complete loss of engine bay

The fuel pump in the 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 Longhorn Lemaire overheats while driving with less than a quarter tank of petrol. Stalling during acceleration, prolonged cranking durations prior to ignition, and abrupt power loss at highway velocities causes significant warning signs. Engine surges at times and cause irregular idling. Whining and buzzing sounds emanating from the fuel tank region. Decreased fuel efficiency without justification. The check engine light is illuminated with fuel pressure-related codes (P0087, P0190). Research indicates that 4th generation Rams (2009-2018) frequently experience failures owing to inadequate factory pumps and issues with the TIPM (Totally Integrated Power Module) relay. The fifth-generation vehicles (2019 and beyond) exhibit a reduction in failures; nonetheless, they remain susceptible to contamination from degraded plastic tanks when ethanol-blended gasoline is utilized over extended periods, and pressure below requirements indicates pump failure.

Anti-Lock Brake Module Internal Failure, error code C2200--49. This ABS failure also takes out the following safety features, anti-lock braking, traction control, trailer towing brake controller, and cruise control. As a result I do not have these safety features, and I tow a 10,000 lb rated trailer that required that the OEM factory brake controller works. A new module is $1200 plus, however there are NONE to be found. It has been on National Back Order for several years, and affects many year models. Failure at first was intermittent and worked during cold weather, but once up to 70 degrees or above it failed consistently, then finally failed permanently. l Intermittent Failure was real risk when towing, as you could not depend on system working in case of emergency.

The fuel strap rutsted through the frame its a recall on previous years and mine it’s the year after the recall. Yes available upon inspection request my gas tank fell in the middle of me driving down the road at 40 and was putting groves in my drive shaft. I’ve read online a lot of people are having this issue. No warning lights just a terrible sound of the broken strap cutting into my drive shaft.

ABS module is faulty. I was told at the local Pep Boys after running a diagnostic test that the ABS module has an error. There is a recall on the electronic systems with the ABS I am aware of and would like to have that fixed on a recall.

I have been the only owner of this truck since it was new from the factory. Some time in the first part of 2022 the ABS module light on the dash was coming on and then going off. When I needed an oil change I took the truck to the dealer I always go to and informed the service writer about it. They said they couldn't check it out for the module until it completely goes out. So, on 5/22/23 I took the truck to the dealer cause the ABS module went out along with my trailer brake control and traction control. The service writer called the parts depart. to see if the module was in house and parts said they would have to order it. Service writer said I could drive the truck and I told them that the brakes are not the same as when the module was working. I told them that you have to push harder on the pedal and that the brakes are not stopping as quickly. He said it would be alright. Every time I take the truck in for an oil change I ask them about the module and call them quite often and the service writer's tell me the same about the module. Parts can not get a module from the manufacturer and don't know when they will get one but, the part is on order. The service writer did give me a phone number to the manufacturer linking me to a help department to see if they can inquire or know why the company is not making them. On 1/23/25 I did call the manufacturer and talk to one of the personal there. The person did not have any information on the module and they said they couldn't tell me why there are no ABS MODULES and that I should keep calling the parts department at my local dealer. So, I guess I don't know when the brakes will completely go out while I am driving it or my family is in it with me that may cause a wreck. I can't pull my camper and haven't for two years now. I don't know what will happen on a rain slick road or an ice and snow covered road. I can't sell the truck or trade it in to get a proper vehicle. Please help Thank You

The tailgate opens when not wanting to. I checked for recalls for this model year (2014) was not included although prior years recalled this item

Does not start reliably. When driving vehicle sputters and even stalls or complete shut offs while driving. Will loose ability to accelerate and lack power. Taken to 4 different mechanics / 2 of which Dodge Dealerships and no one can find whats wrong. Engine light on.

Visible exhaust smoke is pouring out of the vents during regen (even when the climate is turned off). This only happens while not in motion and only during regen. It becomes noticeably more difficult to breathe and the cab fills with exhaust smell. I posted my issue in a Facebook group for the powertrain that I’m in and many others say they have the same issue and have brought their trucks to the dealer. They’ve either had their trucks “fixed” and the issue still persists or the dealers advised them that there is no repair available. I noticed there is an almost identical recall for the 2WD models of my truck but it does not include 4WD models.

My truck is a 2014 Ram 1500 Vin: [XXX] *NOTE: [This recall is for older models of Ram 1500] U04 / NHTSA 18V-160 Frame Bracket This recall should be related to Ram 1500 Gas Tank fuel tank straps on ,and corrosion to frame on 2009-2018 Dodge Ram.* The frame is rusted out that holds the bracket. Fuel tank is hanging off almost hitting the ground. VERY DANGEROUS... There is NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE YEAR AND MODEL. Thousands of people are online complaining of this same problem. So, much where the (BRACKETS) are sold out, and on back order. The frame now has to be welded with a support plate to attach to new brackets.

The ABS module has failed. The Dealer gave the part number 68196033AA as being defective and there was a two year backlog on this part.

Internal Abs control module failure. Have been waiting 2 years my warranty is about to expire.

Unknown, the air bags in the suspension popped during driving

The ABS/traction control module is constantly throwing warnings. Took vehicle to dealership. ABS module is bad and needs replacing. Dealership states parts are under engineer review and cannot get any replacement parts or know when they will be available. This is not safe to be driving a large vehicle without ABS/traction control safely working

Crankshaft Tone Reluctor Wheel failed while driving. Caused crank/no run situation. Towed to dealer, was told there was a recall(66A / 23V-411) to flash software to remedy situation. Software did not correct the issue and was told parts needed to be replaced and recall did not cover parts or labor. Parts were replaced ($1635 parts and labor). Truck is back on the road. Will be submitting a claim for reimbursement. Why a known issue is not covered entirely, puzzles me.

Issues constantly with hvac control module and climate system...every other time I start my ram, I either have AC in the heating mode or vice versa, or the computer is NOT communicating with the hvac module and blend doors for when I request heat, ac or defrost dashboard control etc.( I have replaced many blend doors oem, and hvac modules and had Chrysler recalibrate the blend doors and hvac/climate control system with NO success! Please help!

The T shaped frame mount where the fuel tank strap hooks to rusted out and the strap pulled through the frame letting the fuel tank drop.

While idle at a stop light, the emergency brake warning is triggered and immediately after the truck turns off and the shifter locks while on drive. Another code pops up prompting to shift to park but the shifter is locked on drive.

Unknown… Steering wheel get tight and stiff as if it’s trying to pull in a different direction….

There’s a lot of complains a lot of people that says dodge rams have problems with the ignition switch all over the internet there’s people taking there ignitions out and open them and cleaning them with alcohol so they can work again and turn the truck on. This just happened to me it was working perfectly then it started turning on just occasionally and now it won’t work at all. This is a big problem because is on every dodge ram 2014 and older sometimes even on 2017 and 18 with all this people complaining about the same issue is obvious this is the companies responsibility and we shouldn’t be paying hundreds of dollars when it can be fixed for free if it was on the safety recall website.

My electric steering on my truck keeps jerking me into on coming traffic when I make a hard left or right turn.I have been working at a dealership for about 3.5 years now and have a two year degree in automotive service technology I can tell you that it is my rack and pinion. Intermittent only when turning. Please resolve this issue before some one wrecks and die.

The ac/heating system is stuck on the cabin air setting. I have no defrost ability. When the defrost button is activated the air continues to flow into the cabin and not towards the windshield. I live in Colorado with harsh winters. Not being able to defrost my windshield during the winter time is a huge safety issue if my window fogs up while driving and I cannot clear it. Also if there is condensation that freezes on the outside of my windshield I have no ability to melt it while driving. Huge safety issue. My local mechanic said this is a blendoor/actuator problem and will require a service of approximately 1,000$. There was and is currently no warning signal about the problem.

INTERSECTION,I PROCEEDED TO TURN LEFT, THE WHEEL TURNED TO THE RIGHT AND LOCKED i STRUIGGLED TO CONTROLD THE VEHICLE, DESPERATELY TRYING NOT TO HIT A MAN CROSSING THE STREET IN A WHEELCHAIR. i LOST CONTROL, JUMPED A CURVE AND HIT A LIGHT POLE. MY FACE HIT THE STEERING WHEEL. FOUR OF MY TEETH WERE KNOCKED LOOSE. IHAD TO HAVE THEM PULL DUE TO AN INFECTION. MY HEAD AND NECK WAS JERKED AROUND TWICE. I WAS IN SHOCK & TERRIFIED I DROVE HOME CALLED MY SON, HE IMMEDIATELY CAME TO DRIVE THE TRUCK TO MY HOME, I MANAGED. MY DENTIST PULLED THREE TEETH AND THEN ONE MORE BECAUSE THEY BECAME INFECTED. THIS STEERING PROBLEM WAS NOT NORMAL., NO FLUID LOSS, N0 WARNING. MY TRUCK HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP 4-6 WEEKS PRIOR A COMPLETE DIAGNOSIS WAS CONDUCTED. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE, HAD I TURN TO THE RIGHT I WOULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY. INSTEAD OF GOING HOME THAT NIGHT i WAS GOING TO SEE MY 6 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER. MY INSURANCE COMPANY TOLD ME TO PLACE IN THE SHIOP. AFTER THE REPAIRS THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE $5,000 REPAIR BECAUSE THEY DISCOVERED IT WAS A WEAR AND TEAR. THIS IS FALSE. I CALLED FCA they informed me that my warranty was out. I telephoned them several times to inform them this was not a warranty issue. The same issue for the recall, reoccurred. it wasn't unit I informed them of my injury, then they informed me they would send someone to investigate. They sent their Engineering Analysis associates/Bosch Automotive Services Solutions to exam the repaired vehicle. It was at that point they read the report from Lithia Dodge Ram, the dealer my deceased husband purchased this death trap and examined it, but they could not find no evidence of a manufacturing issue, no evidence of power steering, electrical nor the throttle. Well, this is a problem because my invoice I was given and I was advised the report code stated it was electrical steering rack, a manufacturer problem THOUSANDS COMPLAINED. #ACCOUNTABILITY!

^ months ago my truck would not start and the doors would not unlock using the keyfob. Had it towed to the dealer and they said it was the module for the key system not communicating. after 2 months they finally installed a new module. Took the truck home and it stalled on me 3 time at 70mph and the interstate. Took back to the dealer and they contacted Ram engineers and they told them it was a broken wire . Finally got the truck but would not start the next day. I have researched and found that the TIPMs were going to be recalled but it was denied. Yesterday 9/16/22 I was told the truck was ready and when I went to pick it up it wouldnt start. Is there going to be a recall on the TIPMs?

My ABS Module light came on, along with my traction control and emergency brake light and my cruise stopped working. I took it to the dealer and they said it was an ABS Module, but it would be six months before I could get one. There are no ABS Modules available, evey dealer I have called has some but they can't sell them. My question is, why are there none available. The dealers say they are a known problem and with losing traction control it seems to be a safety problem, yet there is no recall on them. My truck is drivable, but not safely without traction control. Can someone look into this?

I HAVE A 2014 DODGE RAM 1500 94000 MILES GAS TANK FELL AND THE HANGER WAS RUBBING AGAINST THE DRIVESHAFT WHICH WAS MAKE A NOISE SO I INVESTIGATED IT WHEN I GOT HOME FROM WORK I HAVE THE SAME ISSUES AS THIS RECALL Part 573 Safety Recall Report 18V-160 :The fuel tank is held in place by a front strap and a rear strap. The front fuel tank strap frame “T -Slot” bracket may corrode permitting the front fuel tank strap to detach. With the front fuel tank strap detached, the fuel tank is primarily secured by the rear strap, however, the front of the fuel tank may be allowed to lower several inches.Description of the Safety Risk : Based upon FCA US’ investigation of this issue, and review of the available information, data, and analysis, and considering approximately nine years of field experience, as well as the audible notice provided to the operator to detect when this condition is present, FCA US has determined that the detachment of the front fuel tank strap in the subject vehicles could potentially allow the front of the fuel tank to make contact with the ground, increasing the risk of a fuel leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? my suspension and also my engine are the first problems that i have noticed while driving this vehicle. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? When I drive I am scared to go even the speed limit of 30mph because my suspension makes my car bump aggressively and also there is a loud ticking noise I notice under the hood I have looked up reviews of this vehicle and seen that others have similar complaints for the dodge ram 2014 1500. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center?] I took it into palmens dodge dealership and they didn't want to diagnose the vehicle unless the took the engine apart though they said it was better off replacing just by hearing the noise. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Not as far as I'm aware Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? the problem started towards the beginning of the new year

When the truck is started the service shifter light comes on and will not let you shift the truck out of park. Then when driving down the road the light will come on and the truck will automatically shift in park and you can’t do anything but coast of the road to stop. It’s extremely hard to turn the steering to get off the road. This was fixed once at a dodge dealership and they said it was fixed and clearly it is not. This has happened to many trucks. I feel this need attention and fixed for the safety of others.

TAILGATE OPENS WHILE DRIVING THEN WILL NOT LATCH SHUT

Unable to remove key.

I have broken bolts on my passenger side exhaust manifold. (I find to be a common problem on these trucks) I am worried of Carbon Monoxide getting into the cab of my truck on extended idle time. I can show this problem anytime. Also I can show the same problem on other trucks. There are no warning lights on other than being able to hear the exhaust leak. I have not had this truck at the dealer to look at.

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.

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 rear axles and a faulty rear drive 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?

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.

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.

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.

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: 68306456AI CURRENT TCM: 68234053AH FOLLOWING 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."

2 MOUNTING BOLTS HAVE BROKEN OFF IN MY MANIFOLD. THEY ARE BROKE OFF INSIDE THE MANIFOLD.

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.

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"

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 DAIL SHIFTER ON OUR TRUCK BOTH DIRECTIONS REVERSE AND FORWARD WILL NOT GO. WE HAVE TO SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND DO THIS A FEW 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!

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.

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.

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!

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. *DT CONSUMER STATED BOTH REPAIRMAN AND WELDER SAID FAULTY WELDS THAT FAILED AND LACK OF SUPPORT.*JB*DT CONSUMER CALLED THE DEALER.*JB*DT*TR

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 START AT LEAST 3 -5 SECONDS BEFORE 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 RPMS R 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 .

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.

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.

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 WAS RUNNING AND SITTING STILL I WAS IN A LINE OF CARS. I PUT THE TRUCK IN DRIVE FROM PARK AND IT STARTED GOING IN 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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! *JS

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

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!

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."

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!

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..

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. *TR

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 CAUSED SIGNIFICANT 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 VERY BAD. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED AT A CAR DEALERS LOT WHTH MY VEHICLE BACKING AND STRIKING ON OF THE CARS ON THEIR LOT.

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).

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!

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.

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.

TL* 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.

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.

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 (GENES CHRYSLER FAIRBANKS, AK)

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?

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 BELT ABOUT 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.
