2014 Ram 1500 lost power-steering while driving
Jan 11, 2026
Question 1: Vehicle has experienced a total loss of power steering, a known issue on these trucks that is actively under an NHTSA ODI investigation. This report should be added to ODI investigation number RQ 23-003 as an identical example of the issue. Problem began at around 70,000 miles and gradually became worse until power steering control was completely non functional. Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Question 2: Vehicle is incredibly difficult to control in turns. Requires a level of strength that the average driver does not possess, and if they do, operation of the vehicle is still extremely physically difficult. Question 3: Problem has been confirmed by multiple independent service centers. Question 4: Component has NOT been inspected by manufacturer, police, insurance representative. Component HAS been inspected by service center technicians and quoted for replacement at over $4,000. Question 5: Warning lamp indicating steering problem is always illuminated in the vehicle. Warning lamp initially appeared during the first failure, which occurred while operating the vehicle at highway speed.

TICKING NOISE FROM 3.6l PENTASTAR ENGINE. SAFTEY CONCERN COULD RUIN MY ENGINE CAUSING STALLS AND MISFIREING AND SEZEING.
Jan 21, 2026
We have a 2014 dodge ram 1500 SLT with a 5.7 hemi. I was driving down the road and stopped at a red light and the truck shut off and wouldn't start again we had to tow it home. We had a mechanic look at the vehicle and run the codes for the truck to find out what was wrong it was a misfire in cylinder 3. We called a few mechanic shops in town to get other opinions and they all said the same thing its more than likely the lifters or the camshaft is bad and its a very common problem with this model truck with the engine and it would cost over $5,000 to fix it. I spoke to the dodge dealership in our town they said the same thing its more than likely the lifters they see it all the time and its around $5,000 plus to fix. Why is this allowed to happen if so many people are having this specific issue with this specific truck and this specific problem with the engine and cost us thousands to fix. This is a major safety issue what if the engine stopped while I was driving this could cause an accident. If you look it up online as well everyone is saying the same thing their problem was with the lifters. We haven't been able to get it fixed because of the cost and the cost to tow it to a mechanic. We just have it sitting in our driveway and when I found out so many others have this same issue something needs to be done.

Flexplate (flywheel) had tone wheel dislodge and destroy crank position sensor. After a $2200 repair quote from dealer and while at the dealer the repair shop claims the engine is failed completely and new ecodiesel engine is needed. Crankshaft is suspected failure. Vehicle had total loss of power when crank tone wheel failed. Very dangerous to find a shoulder without power while towing travel trailer. Vehicle was purchased due to longevity expected from diesel engine.
Oct 04, 2025
this vehicle is equipped with 3.0 litre ecodiesel. truck has been in for numerous recalls--no problem. i have spoken to numerous buyers of these trucks with this engine and virtually everyone has replaced engine once or sometimes twice. i needed to replace toner wheel behind flywheel a couple weeks ago. this was a 1200.00 fix. stellantis's fix was to reprogram ecu so engine would not fail on highway but did not address the root cause of the problem. i find it appalling that stellantis has not been forced to extend the warranty on these engines since every customer paid extra for the longevity of diesel power. i am afraid to drive this truck since there are probably 2-3 rams every week on facebook marketplace locally with seized engines. this truck has 135000 miles and i am afraid the end is near.

Took truck to dealership, 2014 Ram 1500. They found front fuel tank strap has rusted out of its “T” hock position. Similar to the issue with 2008-2012 Rams. Very dangerous. Cannot drive in this condition
Jan 28, 2026
Fuel tank strap rotted at the frame rail and pulled out, will now not pass inspection and was for some reason not included in other 2014 ram 1500 recall for same problem. We didnt notice it was broken we were told when we took it for inspection.
Aug 15, 2025
FRONT FUEL TANK STRAP RUSTED AND BROKE. LUCKILY TRUCK WAS AT HOME WHEN I NOTICED THIS PROBLEM. FRONT OF TANK IS ONLY INCHES FROM THE GROUND AND COULD PRESENT A MAJOR HAZARD IF I CONTINUED TO OPERATE THIS VEHICLE.
Jul 27, 2025
We were driving down the highway and heard a weird grinding type noise. We pulled right over to check what was wrong and noticed the fuel tank strap mount had broken apart at the frame from corrosion. Causing it to rest against the driveshaft and creating a deep groove in the driveshaft its self .
Jun 19, 2025
Getting a code for fuel system sensor. After filling the tank, it reads full until around 70 miles and it drops and stays on empty. Have to go strictly by mileage to empty and that is not fool proof.

POWER TRAIN

I had my 2014 Ram 1500 Ecodiesel serviced for a recall regarding the crankshaft position sensor, recall 66A/NHSTA 23V-411 in December of 2023. The recall calls for an update to be downloaded to the crankshaft position sensor to allow it to continue functioning when the adhesive fails on the magnetic strip on the tone wheel. In January of 2025 I was driving down the road when the Service Electronic Throttle Control System light came on. I immediately lost power, my truck wouldn't go above 3K RPMs, and has a hard time starting. I took it to the dealership on January 21, 2025 and they diagnosed it as needing the crankshaft position sensor replaced. The dealership quoted me $1600 to replace. I called Ram to see if they would cover the bill since that part is recalled. They said that since the 8 year warranty is expired, and the recall had already been served, they would not honor the recall. My concern is that adhesive on the magnetic strip failed, causing the crankshaft position to be damaged. This occurred while driving at low speeds. Had this happened while driving down the interstate, the sudden loss of power could have been catastrophic. My truck still will not go above 3K RPMs, has very little power, and has trouble starting. Even though this part is recalled, neither the dealership nor the manufacturer will cover the costs to replace the part.

W58/NHTSA 20V-475 repair failure. Crankshaft tone (reluctor) wheel delamination of magnetic material with loss of crankshaft position. Update to powertrain control module software did not prevent engine stall. Safety recall W58 completed 22 May 2023 (79K miles) with update to the powertrain control module software to maintain engine operation if the signal material is lost. On [XXX] truck had engine stall while in parking lot. I could have had accident endangering self and others if engine stall occurred on highway. Following repeated start attempts and an uncharacteristically long start, a "Service Electronic Throttle Control" message came on. I was able to drive the few miles home. I took truck to dealership for service. Service advisor said following diagnostics, that crankshaft tone wheel needs replacement and not covered by existing recall warranty. I was charged $2635.18 and lost use of vehicle for a week. Invoice states "Found missing segment from tone wheel".

Tone Wheel failure. Listed as a remedy for recall 66a but dealer said my VIN doesn’t qualify for wheel replacement even though I qualify for 66a. My vehicle received the same faulty tone wheel that other got recalled. Please update 73a to include my batch of VIN numbers.

4 of the exhaust manifold bolts were broken, so exhaust manifold was leaking and making vehicle very loud. Both sides of engine had broken bolts. Safety of me and my passengers was not at risk, if you were to exclude our eardrums. I had an independant service center fix the issue. the failed component was not inspected by the manufacturer, police or insurance representatives. The shop that did the work inspected the failed components. The engine was making a loud ticking noise while running. Noise was emitting from both sides of the engine.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, his wife heard an abnormal whining sound coming from the rear end of the vehicle. The contact pulled over and discovered fluid leaking from the pinion gasket. Upon discovery of the failure, the contact started driving to an independent mechanic; however, the rear wheels locked up. There was no warning light illuminated. Due to the failure, the vehicle was towed to the independent mechanic, who discovered that the pinion nut had detached from the vehicle, causing the pinion shaft to drop into the rear differential, which caused the rear wheels to lock up. The dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure, but the contact had not yet received a response. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 122,000.

The air suspension system on the truck fails, it will not raise. I’ve replaced almost all the components of the air suspension system and it’s still not working. The system fails in any type of weather but often it does so more in winter. System has been reset multiple times. Compressor has been replaced twice, relay replaced, fuses replaced, lines have been checked, height sensors have been replaced. Looking at online forums, this seems to be an issue with many Dodge Rams of 2014 as well as other years.
Sep 12, 2025
Suspension failure. Unsafe to drive, goes out in the middle driving.
Mar 31, 2025
honestly the compressor failed for the air suspension and keeps failing many times for many people in different altitudes and humidity levels as you guys should already know by now. the system is supposed to be a sealed system that no air should be able to get into, right? so my question and things i really would like you guys to look into is why, if this true why do they need a dryer for the n2 gas based system they is not supposed to be able to get air in it? more so when n2 gas is supposed to expel moisture and being a dry gas. I bought this truck in Colorado and in the dry cold of Colorado I had no issues like this but the moment i had my first winter in a more humid environment and it dropped to 20 degrees Fahrenheit the system failed such as the fact that im in Texas now. being a sealed system no air is able to vent out unless triggered buy certain modes so my ride just leveled out to normal drive mode but will not engage the compressor properly. I'm currently in college though just starting for diesel engines even my instructor is stumped. this system to me doesn't make sense and its failing from what I gathered in more humid cold environments not so much dryer cold, and popping the fuses by trying to pull more power to dry the system that supposedly isn't getting moister in it. so this system is clearly flawed and doesn't make seance plus it also truly depends on how and where the company tested the product. in the end my suspension triggered the red code of immediate air suspension repair/replacement and no longer works properly this is almost a 500 dollar fix that many have to do every winter including me. some may have to pay more for those who cant do it themselves. please investigate the compression and dryer system in higher humidity and extreme cold based environment and if im right im right if im wrong im wrong. i just want answers and the problem fixed since this issue has been going since 2013 to now.

When I start the engine the power steering light comes on. The steering wheel remains very firm and the wheel can not be turned. After approx 10-15 minutes, depending on how long it takes the vehicle to warm up, the power steering light will go out. At this time the vehicle can be driven and the light has not come back on while driving. There was a former recall on this same type of issue in the past involving the EPS. I have filled out this form before and feel that this is huge safety issue and I believe this warrants another recall. There are several forums online discussing others having this same issue. Thanks

My vehicles steering wheel wiring harness rubbed against the driver air bag module retainer spring causing it to break and now the parts need to be replaced. This was a validated recall on other models but for some reason it is not appearing under my VIN. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 15V459000 My vehicle is currently scheduled to get repaired by my mechanic but I believe this should be reimbursed as it was a reported recall on extremely similar models.

Dec 17, 2024
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.

The abs system is bad. I have 150000 on the truck. They are doing recalls on this system. But don't go back to 2014. There are other people having same issue. It's ashame that Dodge don't want to fix it. I'm on disability and it's a shame that a company can do this when you pay so much for a vehicle.

The ABS Module, part 68228991AD in the 2014 Ram 1500 has failed on my truck and in a large number of vehicles i have found on Ram Truck forums. The failure of this part is impacting multiple systems in my truck and and has made those systems inoperable including ABS, stability control, trailer brake control, cruise control, and potentially others. I don't understand why a recall for this problem has not been issued. To add, the parts have been completely unavailable from Mopar or any supplier. I've had this problem since June 2025 and no part availability anywhere and my son has been driving the vehicle because we have no other choice but to drive this vehicle. Please advise soonest about what can be done to help remedy this situation, I am very concerned about the safety of those driving this vehicle with this problem. Thank you

The brake, traction control and ABS warning lights came on in the dashboard. I went to local auto parts store and they scanned the vehicle and I got a C2200-0049 DTC. This apparently means I there is an internal failure in the ABS Module. I went to my local dealer and they told me the ABS Module is backordered and it will be at least 45 days before I would be able to get the repair. I've looked online and have discovered there appears to be a severe shortage of availability of the part and has been for several years. I don't understand how such a critical component of a vehicle is unavailable. To my research, the required part number is 68228991-AD.
Sep 15, 2025
Abs light, park brake light and traction control warninglights on dash. Non are working vehicle slides on wet pavement. Took to repair shop was informed this is a common problem with this year and model. No parts are available for a fix. Was told by a Ram dealership they have at least 5 vehicles waiting on parts and could be up to a year before any are available. Vehicle is not able to be operated safely. Ram should be held responsible for negligence. 1 year later still waiting on parts

I'm sure this is not the first complaint you all have received, and this is not my first attempt at reaching out. My 2014 Laramie Longhorn power steering light comes on when the truck is started, and once the vehicle warms up the light goes out. This has been an issue with the electric power steering in this particular year model. I am unsure why another investigation and or recall have not been opened up yet, but this is definitely a safety concern for my family and others on the roadway. I would love to see this issue taken care of and open up another recall.

My son was driving on the freeway and went to change lanes and all of a sudden the power steering system stopped working and he told me after the fact that it locked up and he could not turn the steering wheel so he hit a guard rail and flipped the truck on its side. It caught on fire instantly and he was lucky to be able to get out. A passerby stopped while the truck was on fire and held the passenger door opened for him as he climbed out. If there were any children in the vehicle, they might have not been so lucky! Could have killed my son and anybody else on the road that early morning. Should be a police report. No system failures at the time.

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.

The magnetic material on the tone wheel detached causing a crank position sensor error code (P0336) and subsequent misfire while accelerating into traffic. The software had been updated per recall W58 (NHSTA 20V-475). Vehicle could be restarted but lacked full power. The vehicle is out of warranty, however, Stellantis directed that a dealer make repairs, customer pays out of pocket ($3200), and claim be submitted for reimbursement. Stellantis promptly denied the claim, despite correspondence in writing and recorded customer service phone call. A BBB complaint has been filed against Stellantis.

The reluctor wheel on my 2014 Ram 1500 Ecodiesel has failed. The truck was taken to the dealer on May 8th of 2023 where they flashed the ECU as a remedy for the vehicle losing signal between the magnetic material on the Tone Wheel (reluctor wheel). A few months later the vehicle went into "limp mode" with a crankshaft position sensor fault and became hard to start. A local mechanic shop explained to me that the tone wheel is has failed leading to the hard starting and advised me that there is a Technical Service Bulletin on the issue and I should call a local dealer to see if they will do the repair at no cost. I called a local dealer to tell them that the tone wheel has failed and asked if it was part of the recall [XXX] ). I was told no that it is not part of the recall and repairs would be an out of pocket cost. These tone wheel failures are a known issue by the manufacturer and flashing the ECU is a half measure at best in an effort for them to do as little as possible to address the actual issue for the consumer. The safety of my wife and other drivers was put at risk when the vehicle suddenly and unexpectedly went into limp mode on a busy highway where limp mode is well below the speed of traffic. Had the recall addressed the known faulty part instead of just telling the ECU to force limp mode when the known faulty part inevitably fails the safety of my wife and the public would not have been affected by this issue.

Engine stalled while passing vehicle on the highway. Lost power no acceleration. Once the engine stalled and I could not accelerate multiple vehicles behind me almost wrecked almost causing a multiple car pile up. It was towed to dealership. Dealership ran its diagnosis and the issue was the tone wheel. They told me it was a recall 66A that has no fix yet. Multiple warning lamps came on once the engine stalled. Once parked tried starting the truck and it would not turn over. It told me to service engine throttle body control. There were no warnings before the engine stalled. I bought the truck a week ago and now I do not have a vehicle or an ETA on when my truck will be fixed. There is another recall out on this truck from almost a year ago with no fix either. I called FCA and all they told me is there was no fix. Now I have no vehicle and FCA wont give me a rental truck. So now I have no truck haul or tow with.

The ABS control module failed on my 2014 Ram 1500 and is no longer available from Mopar. The part (68228991AD) is discontinued or on indefinite backorder. This disables a federally required safety system (ABS and electronic stability control). Dealerships will not install used parts, and there is no OEM solution. This renders the vehicle unsafe to operate and poses a risk to me and others on the road. Dodge/Stellantis needs to provide a solution or replacement. I’m requesting NHTSA investigation and recall if necessary.

Fuel Gauge sending unit in fuel tank has failed. No idea of how much fuel is in the fuel tank. 60k miles on the vehicle. Do not want to run out of fuel on an interstate or major highway and cause a possible collision.
Dec 02, 2022
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!
May 31, 2021
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!

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.
Jul 10, 2020
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. *TR

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.

No start issue. I initially started my truck and it was running very rough and the check engine light came on so I shut it off, and then attempted to restart my truck and it turned over fine but would not start. This left me stranded out of town late in the day so I had it towed to my home. I have now learned that there are two outstanding recalls, one for the tone wheel (20V475) and for the high pressure fuel pump (22V406) either of which would cause a no start. I have contacted a local dealership and they informed me that they already have a truck in their shop for the same problems and it has been there for over six months. I then called the dealership were I purchased it on July 10, 2023 and they said they could not take care me because the parts are not available and suggested I take it to an independent repair shop.

When driving vehicle with my with the check engine light appeared. We were on interstate and truck would not accelerate above 45-50 mph with intermittent surges. I called dealership and they took in my vehicle and replaced the Module Powertrain Control stating that would fix issue. After replacing MPC they check engine light was still not repaired. Dealership told me that fuel pump, fuel lines, intake manifold, and coolant leak needed to be repaired, I asked dealership if that would fix issue and they stated that they did not know and were working with Chrysler/Dodge/Ram to resolve. After a total of 7 weeks the repairs are still not completed. Prior to picking up vehicle I called FCA USA LLC and asked what was being done to get recalls repaired and received responses that repair solution has not been sent to dealerships and another stated parts were not available. I picked up truck and was told that I would need to add coolant every 3 days and not let the fuel level get low to keep fuel pump from failing. I spoke with FCA - Dodge ram and they stated they still do not have parts or a repair for the two recalls mention. In addition the coolant leak would not be repaired under warranty since I had the EGR and intake replaced as a recall due to a failure in 2021. They stated warranties do not apply to recall work. My concern is that they cannot fix the two outstanding year old recalls and have no direction for dealerships. How do I get these issues fixed?
Aug 02, 2023
Fuel sensor failure at around 100,000 miles. A quick search reveals this is an extremely common issue and even more upsetting is seeing how many people experience recurrent failures within a year of replacing. This is a major safety issue if my vehicle randomly runs out of gas on a busy highway, which is far more likely considering the sensor failure will not allow the engine to enter ECO mode. My other issue is the hemi tick which could either be the exhaust bolts or the cam going out. Why haven't these issues been recalled?

Was backing into a parking stall, I turned the wheel to the right and started to back up, when I did this, the lower control are broke away from the frame of the truck. The truck was taken to Hendricks Dodge in Charlotte, NC. It was inspected, determined that it was a manufacture failure. It was submitted to insurance as well, they had an independent investigator look at it, they also determined that it was a manufacture failure. Had I been on the road or interstate this would have caused a major accident. Submitted an Insurance claim. Claim was denied, stating it was a Manufacture Failure. Insurance Company Hired an Independent Appraiser / Investigator. No warnning lights or indicators.

Fuel Tank Hanger Broke. The fuel tank was hanging. Repair person confirmed the frame had rotted, and the mounting bracket was not good. Fuel tank needed to be removed and the new bracket was installed and the fuel tank reinstalled. Safety was at risk - fire/explosion hazard. Contacted the Dodge dealer and was unable to secure an appointment for two weeks . This was unacceptable. First noticed problem on 03/03/22. Repair taken place on 03/07/22. Located a recall for this exact problem on 2009-2012 Dodge Ram 1500 trucks - my exact model. My truck is a 2014 with only 103360 miles. This issue on new models of the Dodge Ram 1500 after 2012 should be investigated and repairs should be reimbursed to truck owners who have been forced to make repairs - especially when the dealer could not accommodate with an appointment.

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!

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.

^ 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?

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.

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 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.

This is the second attempt reporting this issue with this vehicle and I have not received any response. This vehicle has recalls and was sold with recalls, in which I find this highly irresponsible from all angles. You can see for yourself the safety risks, it is very clear it is a safety hazard issue. Yes, the vehicle has been looked at and we have the proper paperwork and also, yes, warning lights have come on and they were checked and dismissed as “normal.” It is not normal, nor is it safe, nor is this acceptable. Not a single person, manufacturer, even cares to fix this problem that did not occur on our behalf, it is due to horrible manufacturing. How these vehicles are allowed to be sold blows my mind.

On May 26th, 2023 I was driving my Ram 1500 with 3.0 liter diesel down a multilane road with traffic. At about 30 mph, normal driving, the engine stalled without warning and power brakes and steering were lost. Traffic continued to pass as I had to cross lanes of traffic and coast to a stop out of the way of traffic. The vehicle could not be restarted or put into neutral to move. There were no abnormal driving issues, noises, warnings, or messages prior to the event. The truck was towed to a Ram dealership for inspection. The engine code clearly indicated that there was an issue with the crankshaft sensor. The dealership diagnosis was that the oil pump had failed and the engine was destroyed. After towing it to a second, independent shop, the actual diagnosis is that the reluctor wheel (tone wheel) and crankshaft sensor had failed, preventing fuel injection to the engine. This is a known issue on 2014-2016 Ram Ecodiesel trucks. My truck (manufactured in May 2014) was not a part of the recall. Once the transmission was removed to validate the tone wheel issue, it was confirmed when the mechanic found that the magnetic strip on the tone wheel had delaminated and broken off. The magnetic strip had multiple cracks. This part is in my possession and available for inspection. After replacing the tone wheel and crankshaft position sensor, the truck was back to running normally. The repair was completed by the shop at my expense because Ram refused to address the tone wheel issue or even look into it because it wasn't under recall. As of June 9th of 2023, Ram has said that they are possibly going to issue a recall for this (66A) but will not cover the expense because it was not repaired at a Ram dealership.

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 THE LEFT 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.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,SERVICE BRAKES
8 complaints
The vehicle has a fault in the ABS system that is causing the ABS light to stay on, as well as the traction control light and the Brake light. This means the brakes will lock up, causing the vehicle to slide, the vehicle has no assisted traction control, and the cruise control will not engage. In a vehicle like this (a pick-up truck) the back end is notoriously light and will easily loose traction during emergency braking and without traction control, can easily lose control on wet roads. The part needed to repair this issue, the ABS Module, is unavailable anywhere...and has been for years now. Some can still be found in old junk vehicles, or for sale out of used vehicles, but these have no guarantee and are no safer or less susceptible to failure than the stock product. No to mention they can only be found at exorbitant prices since they are in such high demand on an obviously sub-par part. Why does this part have so many issues and why is it impossible to fix? The vehicle is unsafe without this fix! The tires absolutely slide on wet roads now with loss of steering control and the rear end easily breaks free of traction on wet roads! The vehicle also will not pass inspection anymore because of this issue. This has been a problem for a year at this point.,

ABS BRAKE WARNING Light came on and others warning lights. Error Code C220-49 Anti-Lock Brake Module Internal Failure-Electronic.

My ABS light has been on and when I took my vehicle to the dealership, they said it requires a part that is on back order for almost a year already. My vehicle suddenly comes out of drive while I’m on the road. It’s scary because one minute I’m going 50 miles an hour and then it just turns off. Other times the car does not register my foot on the break when trying to get it out of park to start it. The Dodge dealership says all of these things are related to a bad ABS module which I have been waiting for since December, and they have no idea when the part will be available. I have been on mini Dutch forums and I see that this is an issue across the country

Despite numerous attempts to resolve the matter, I've faced obstacles and a lack of clarity from Dodge Corporation. Recently, my 2014 Ram 1500 Laramie experienced a sudden ABS light issue, affecting traction and cruise control. This has made driving perilous in Texas's hazardous conditions. We've been quoted $2000 (part itself is $1300) for repairs, but the required part is on backorder, with no ETA provided by Dodge Corporate. This situation poses a significant safety risk to my family, yet we're unable to proceed due to part unavailability and a lack of transparency. I request urgent assistance or guidance on resolving this matter. Question #1- The ABS module in the 2014 Ram 1500 Laramie has failed, affecting the ABS system, traction control, and cruise control. The specific part number is 68228991AD. The failed component, the ABS module, should be available for inspection upon request. Question #2- The failure of the ABS module has compromised the functionality of the ABS system, which is crucial for maintaining stability and control on slippery roads, especially in hazardous conditions. This puts the safety of the driver, passengers, and others on the road at risk, particularly in situations where ABS is necessary to prevent accidents. Question #3- Yes, the problem has been confirmed by a mechanic, and the necessary repairs have been identified. The mechanic determined that the issue lies with the ABS module. Question #4- The vehicle and the ABS component have been inspected by a mechanic, revealing that the issue lies with the ABS module. However, neither the police nor insurance representatives have inspected the vehicle in relation to this matter. Question #5- Yes, the ABS light on the dashboard appeared as a warning sign of the problem with the ABS system. This occurred suddenly and without prior indication of an issue until the warning light illuminated.

The Abs, Traction Control and Brake lights are on. None of the affected systems are working at this time. The vehicle was tested by Chrysler Ram in Peotone, Illinois. they said that the Abs control module was bad and could not be ordered at this time because it is still in product development at FCA.

The antilock brake system module ($1200) is defective and has not been available for more than a year after contacting four dealerships in Alabama and Florida. The antilock brake system warning lights are on the left side of the dash. When the center warning comes up on the dash the truck feels like the rear end is about to lock up and fall off. All the dealers I contacted stated this is a known and long-term problem. I called dodge corporate (1-866-726-4636) and said the modules are being reengineered then manufactured and may be ordered by dealerships after October 16, 2024. They could not guarantee it would be available to order if not I was told to call corporate back, and they would try to find one. I have an appointment to take my vehicle to the dealership due to excessive back logs at all dealerships, The center warning center comes up moments before the backend is affected. The lights on the left side are always on. Currently there are no recalls.

The truck is a 2014 Ram with 74,000 miles garage kept and I have intermittent ABS service warning light researched and the ABS module has gone bad.
Sep 03, 2024
Beginning around March 2024: 1) The ABS, Towing, and E-brake dashboard lights stay on; and the Cruise Control stopped working. 2) The brakes and/or transmission locked up when I put the truck in Reverse. It made a noise like it was trying to respond but sort of dropped and locked up and would not move. This has happed a few times intermittently so mechanics have not been able to reproduce the problem. 3) The brakes grabbed to the left, brakes went soft, then I had to push harder. This has happened a few times. 4) My truck is large and heavy so it could really do some damage to other cars and endanger lives. I don’t drive it much for this reason causing me a lot of inconvenience. 5) The dealership and 2 local car repair shops scanned the problem. A lot of codes popped up - including the ABS Module and tire sensors. They said the module was unavailable and under review. They also said tracking down all the causes and completely resolving them would be trial and error as they replaced several parts including the ABS Module and sensors on all 4 tires. I cannot locate the repair shop receipts at present, but 1 shop (Decatur Auto Tech) was $258 on 3/19/2024. Landmark Dodge didn’t charge for the scan on 4/23/2024. They gave me a quote to replace the ABS Module of $1,294.71

I have been searching for a replacement ABS Control Module for my Ram truck for over a year to ensure the safety of my vehicle while stopping on the road. Stellantis has not provided their customers with safety replacement parts for their vehicles to keep them safe to drive on the roads. This puts me and others on the road at risk. My vehicle is available for inspection. This condition has been confirmed by multiple dealers and service centers. My truck's ABS warning lamps and messages have been present for over a year. To date I have found no supplier of replacement ABS modules for my 2014 Ram truck.

In January 2023, my 2014 Ram 1500 sport truck got an anti-lock , braking system and Brake light flashing warning ABS lights. I went to the dealer and he said my ABS electronic module was bad and that it was problem with most Ram trucks. I asked when could I get a new module and he said June of 2024. So I went in June and no module. So here I am, driving an unsafe vehicle, and waiting for a part which may never come in. Thanks for listening because this is really a safety issue

My vehicle VIN [XXX] shown "no unprepared recalls". However I saw that there was a past recall for this vehicle. The recall dealt with the digital instrument cluster which gives data on engine management, safety features such as ABS systems, and other safety items. I do not believe my vehicle had ever been repaired. My digital instrument system flashes on and off and many times, as all day today, was completely inoperable. This has been occurring for approx one year and the dealer told me that this was normal, which it is absolutely not. The dealerships around here have a habit of falsely signing off on repairs and recalls especially if the vehicle hit their lot with a recall during a trade-in. The new buyer would have no idea of such recall. Please assist me in getting this unprepared recall repaired. I would also like to address the faulty 8 speed transmissions which shudder and shift unnecessarily. This could cause a sudden loss power on acceleration in heavy high speed traffic and merging onto an interstate. Please look into this.

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.

As many other dodge ram owners are also experiencing anti lock brake control module internal electronic failure. Abs, traction control, and brake warning lights are all on on the dash so abs and traction control are disabled the 4 wheel drive won't function due to this either. Abs has fault code c2200-49 diagnosed at a local facility with fix finder diagnostic and doesn't seem to be any available control module replacements to even repair it. This truck is useless on the icy road at this time and dangerous for everyone's safety on the road under normal driving conditions without all of these safety features working as they should. There should be parts available at least if not a recall or maybe even customer pays for the part and dealership programs new part for free! The anti lock brake control modules are faulty on way to many generations of dodge ram vehicles for dodge not to recall all faulty abs control modules on all year models, please help with this issue THANKS in advance
Jan 24, 2026
The ABS module (anti-lock brake module) has stopped working. My abs light, parking brake light, and traction control light stay on all the time and my anti-lock brakes are not working. This is SO common with 3rd generation Ram 1500’s (2013-2018) and I don’t understand why the abs module has not been recalled yet? The cost to replace the abs module is extremely expensive and if it a poorly designed part that will fail, Mopar should recall the part and replace it.

Unknown. I have a 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 Tradesman 5.7L Hemi 4x2. The ABS Control Module for the Anti-lock braking system pump. That component went out and my Cruise Control won't work without it and my Display has an engine light on because of the back order for this main component.
Apr 08, 2025
ABS Control Module has failed. The part number is 68228991AD. The dealership informed me the manufacturer no longer makes this part, and they were unable to resolve the issue. While I was advised by the dealership the truck is ok to drive, my additional research indicated a failed ABS module can lead to the wheels locking up while driving, the speedometer to stop working and the transmission locking out due to the computer system thinking there’s a break failure. This is a huge safety risk to others around me on the road, myself and my family.

ABS module has failed. Traction control and ABS is not functioning. The module is on back order for over a year now. I’ve read on many forms that many people are having the same issue. I now have to be extremely careful especially on wet roads as the rear tires spin due to not having TC functioning.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

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.

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.

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.

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.

Driving under normal conditions, truck had been running perfectly for the 3 months I owned it.

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."

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?

Wiper works intermittently, sometimes it functions, sometimes it doesn't turn off. This causes a dangerous condition in rain storms. After some research it appears to be a condition across the entire Ram platform and needs to be addressed because it is a serious safety issue.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE HEADLIGHTS BLINK (AS IF YOU 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.

POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
7 complaints
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.

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 HARDER CAUSES 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 I CONTINUED 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 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.

Airbag light comes on and beeps then shits off intermittently. Happens every time we drive the vehicle. I noticed there were other past recalls about the ABS warning light coming on. The message on dash says "Service Airbag System". Our truck has never been in an accident, the horn still works, wiring looks secure for airbag harness, not sure if this is a common problem but I googled it and I've seen several Ram owners with the same light on.

The contact's husband owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that the horn initially failed to operate as needed. The contact then received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V459000 (Air Bags), which was linked to the horn failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for the recall repair. Recently, the horn failure returned, along with select steering wheel options that also failed to operate as needed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the vehicle was diagnosed with a defective wiring harness and clock spring, and the contact was given an estimate for the repair. The contact then received a notice from the manufacturer about a lifetime warranty on the vehicle under the D-17 clock spring lifetime warranty. The contact called the dealer and informed them about the warranty notice. The dealer stated that there were no recalls on the vehicle and refused to honor the warranty. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

My vehicle is saying please service the airbags on it. I have noticed that when I start it there seems to be issues with my odometer showing up at times. I have noticed then the vehicle to a dealer for this issue but when it goes to the shop I will discuss it with them.

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 abs module for this vehicle has failed and is a major safety hazard. A known issue that has been on going with this particular part for years. I myself have waited over 6 months with a lemon of a truck because the part is on back order. We have called multiple dealerships and their response has been, “the part is on manufacturing review. “ No recall for this specific part has been issued and no dealership/insurance or Chrysler themselves have not provided us or any others with a solution.

There have been several recalls on this vehicle. The day after purchase there was a class action settlement. I’m curious as to how the dealership was allowed to sell this vehicle knowing they had all the information in regards to the sell. The vehicle should have had a stop sell. Our family was at risk when the engine started to give out while on the road. The vehicle has been sitting at the shop for months with back and forth on an engine failure, etc. replacement. It’s all fine to purchase the vehicle, yet we are facing the consequences of the manufacturer/dealership negligence and left with no help and being dismissed due to claims of parts not available. We have a family of 6 and down to one vehicle but, not our part but, due to the fact we have one vehicle. I have sent an email 3 times due to this issue and no one bothers to touch base. The recalls had to have been known by the seller, yet did not disclose the potential risks. We went through major decisions to find a way to pay the vehicle off and I feel that because it is, they got their money and do not care. However, we do and it does not disregard the fact it was manufactured improperly and sold when it should not have been. Not only were other drivers at risk due to the faulty vehicle but, my family was.

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 components that malfunctioned in my 2014 Ecodiesel Ram 1500 was the fuel sending unit and fuel pump. As I was driving on the freeway my truck started cutting out and stalling from 75 mph. It finally stalled and I was able to pull over in the middle island on the freeway I was on. The truck would start then turn off. The fuel gauge read over 1/4 tank of diesel fuel. The safety of myself or my family could have been at risk if someone else was driving that truck. Even for myself trying to pull out of full commuter traffic was very dangerous with a stalled vehicle. I don't know if the problem has been reproduced or reported by any other owner of the same vehicle. The only inspection was done by the Auto shop that works on my truck. Their were no warning lights or alerts on my dashboard display while this event took place. I had my vehicle towed to the shop that does service for me. They discovered I was out of fuel due to a faulty sending unit and fuel pump. The fuel gauge on the dash was showing 1/4 tank when it was actually empty.

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 Ram 1500. The contact stated that after driving for an extended period, the vehicle started to shake with an unknown service warning message displayed. Despite the initial failure, the contact stated that the vehicle resumed normal operation after approximately an hour. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on several occasions to have the air compressor replaced under warranty; however, the failure persisted.

The contact also stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and the contact was informed that the intake manifold needed to be replaced. Upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V757000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

TIRES
5 complaints
Tire size is 275/60R20 115T AT+. Regarding the set of tires purchased from Sam’s Club via Pirelli, all 4 tires are dry rotted along the bead of each individual tire. The tires do not maintain pressure and the pressure drops significantly lower than the recommended PSI regarding environmental changes and ambient temperature in different regions. The manufacturer workmanship of the tire causes deflation in the tires which leads to different tread wear on the tires. I’ve contacted the manufacturer regarding the issue and they have not provided guidance to the merchant as a vendor to replace tires at no cost to the consumer submitting this report. I’m reporting this issue because Pirelli is not upholding their warranty in it’s entirety.

I purchased This truck new in 2014 and have had very few problems with it, but now the ABS module is defective which affects the brakes, traction control, cruise, with all lights on. In driving the vehicle under wet roads it has gone out of control and is dangerous. Ram has told me that the parts are back ordered and recently gave me incorrect information as to the extent of this parts problem. I paid over 50k for this vehicle to keep in my older years and I do not want to have to change now . This is a real problem that could get someone hurt or killed. They say it is not a recall issue but there are thousands of these parts needed and Ram seems to [XXX]. I don't usually voice a complain but this hits home to me. Thanks Ram has a claim pending with my vin # INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Computer reads CC2200-49. ABS internal electronic failure. Brake,ABS,traction control lights came on and electric trailer brakes and cruise control deactivated while pulling 5000# camper putting my family in danger. Dealer and Ram Care have been of no assistance locating new part. Part has been under engineering review for 2 years and is unavailable from Mopar.

ABS system failure. Unable to repair the ABS control module because the part is not available making the passenger rear wheel lose traction while starting to move and driving at highway speeds causing the rear of the vehicle to fishtail on dry roads. Even with new tires installed.

No accident has happened but I have had the Anti-lock brake module go bad in my truck and it has disabled cruise control, anti-lock brakes and traction control. So basically just old fashion standard braking is all that is working. Took it to the dealership and they told me the part is on hold by Ram for review by their engineers. So I called Ram directly and they said it is under review but they could expedite the part for me. I see there is a law suit pending for the 2017-2018 Ram 2500 and 2017-2018 Ram 3500 but not any other years. After doing some further research online and using an ODB reader I see that this is actually a very common issue even with my year and model. Even at the dealership when I started to explain the issue, they stopped my and told me exactly what it was and that they have seen it many times. I believe because of the number of issues being registered online and in dealerships that this should be a safety recall, especially because we are talking about braking. I will attach photos.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER,SERVICE BRAKES

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

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?
Jul 14, 2022
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."

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.

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.

My truck has 87,000 miles. 1st my engine went out last month because of a known engine issue that Dodge is not owning up to on Hemi engines. 3 weeks later after replacing the engine my Power steering went out as I was driving causing it to be very hard to drive. These are both known issues with these trucks that recalls should in place for. I have spent close to $14,000 in one month fixing these issues Dodge should be paying for on a truck with only 87,000 miles.

This whole vehicle has several recalls, looking at what the recalls stated, those are all safety issues that could occur at any moment. The engine has failed in said vehicle. The issues at hand have been confirmed by a registered mechanic. He was unable to locate any engine for this vehicle and it was taken to a dealership, in which they will not fix. Also, have been in touch with Stillantis, however, after giving them time to respond after the initial conversation, to find out they never took down our information. Another issue is they lied and said the dealership said it was fine. The problem is that was a definite lie. They did not know where or what dealership. This vehicle was made and sold to be reliable but, it is not. There are recalls and there have been class action lawsuits but, no one is willing to help with something that was not to be sold in the first place.

HAD AEM FLASH CAUSED 10-15% MPG LOSS AS WELL AS THROTTLE LAG,LOSS OF ACCELERATION FCA SAID THERE WOULD BE NO CHANGE IN PERFORMANCE OR MPG
Jan 28, 2020
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's daughter owns a 2014 Dodge Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving at 55 MPH with her children sitting in the front passenger and rear passenger seats, the vehicle in front of her stopped inadvertently. The contact's daughter depressed the brake pedal and attempted to quickly veer to the side of the road to prevent her vehicle from crashing into the vehicle in front of her. However, the steering wheel locked and the vehicle crashed into the rear end of the vehicle in front of her. The air bags failed to deploy. The message "Malfunctioning Steering" was displayed. The bumper and front grill of the vehicle detached. The contact's daughter sustained bruises and soreness all over the body. The contact was unsure whether his grandchildren sustained injuries. The passenger of the other vehicle did not sustain injuries. A police report was filed. The contact's daughter was taken to the hospital with the assistance of emergency units. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard. The vehicle was then towed to the contact's residence. An unknown Dodge dealer was notified of the vehicle but provided no assistance. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The contact was awaiting a call back from the manufacturer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.

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.

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 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

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 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.

. 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 SYSTEMS BEGAN 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

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the ABS warning light illuminated, causing the cruise control mode and the 4WD system to become inoperable. Additionally, the traction control, the brakes, and the check engine warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that while driving and braking or accelerating on a wet road surface, the vehicle was sliding. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the contact was informed that an electronic brake control system part needed to be replaced, but the part had been discontinued. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. Additionally, the contact stated that while driving and turning, the electric power steering was inoperable intermittently, but the vehicle experienced excessive unintended steering efforts while turning the wheel back to center after making a turn. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 68,000.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 55 MPH, the power steering malfunctioned, and the steering wheel became difficult to turn in either direction. During the failure the message "Power Steering" was displayed. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who determined that the power steering module and steering rack were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. Also, while operating the vehicle the brake pedal became spongy and extended to the floorboard while depressed causing the stopping distance to be extended. The contact stated that the failures had occurred after the battery was replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 22,400.

The fuel tank brackets broke which I was driving. The gas tank was about 4 inches from dragging on the road. Also there was a severe grinding noise associated with this incident.
Aug 04, 2025
While I was driving my wife and I heard a sound that was similar to a ratchet strap being run over while attached to a vehicle. Once in my drive way I began to inspect what the noise could have been. After looking underneath my truck I could see my GAS TANK hanging at almost a 45 degree angle. I crawled underneath to see what had happened and found that 1 of 2 fuel tank straps had been ripped out of the frame of the truck. It wasn’t until later that I found a 12 year unlimited mile warranty was available. After speaking to a Ram dealer they informed me that ONLY the fuel straps were covered under the warranty and NONE of the damages that occur from their flawed and failed design are covered under that and if I want it covered then I would have to file a claim with my insurance. Keep in mind the fuel strap itself is only 50$ and that is all that will be covered, not the tank itself, fuel neck, gas lines, or any component of the evap system. So because Ram does not want to pay now I have to and I almost paid in full with my life and my wife’s. I encourage others to keep an eye on this so you don’t fall victim to this scam. It’s nice to know that for almost loosing my life and that of my wife Ram will only cover 50$. How much is your life worth?

The ABS, Traction Control, Trailer Breaking lights are on also impacting Adaptive Cruise Control making them all inoperable, even though the truck is still able to be drive, albeit unsafely. I took it to my local repair shop and was told the ABS Controle Module, part number 68228991AD was identified as bad and in need of replacing at approximately $2000 and that the part is on indefinite backorder. I tried to locate the part on my own and there is in fact a nationwide backorder. After further investigation, I found multiple owners on Ram forums either having or have had the same problems. On one parts website, I found this message regarding the part: PART ON HOLD UNTIL ENGINEERING REVIEW IS COMPLETE, EXP - MAR 20TH, 2025. Located at: [XXX] This is not just an issue with 2014 Ram trucks, but extends to other model years using the same part number. This is a huge safety issue that should be addressed through a recall and the NHTSB has the power to right this wrong. Stellantis is doing what large corporations do and protecting their bottom line at the expense of putting customers' safety at risk. We are the little guys with limited financial means and power, to go up against a large corporation to get them to act and do what is right. Please advise soonest.

My ABS module and TCS light has been on for several years. I have taken it to the dealer multiple time to have it repaired, only to be told it is on back order. This has been going on for over two years. I have a life time warranty through Chrysler as long as I own the truck. Since the warning lights have been on I have had many instances where my truck has lost control and slipped on the highway most of the time in rain. I have also had my truck lock up once, when a person made a right turn into my lane in front of me, forcing me to hit the breaks. My truck skid through the intersection and almost rear ended the vehicle. I avoid traveling with my family in the truck now.

Codes c2209-49, c2200-47, u0121, u11bc, u1110, u1412. ABS, traction control, brake and CEL iluminated. No speedometer and no power steering. Codes will not clear. All wheelspeed sensors are operational per scantool in live data mode. Issue not confermed by dealer or independant as the cost is outrageous. And i cannot find a recall to repair issue. These issues i have had since March 2024. Cost for me to repair would be approximately $1200. Safety systems like these should not need a recall they’ve had years to resolve issues with ABS problems. I’m hoping that Mopar sees these issues with other people and has a recall on the problem. My wife won’t even drive the truck.

Stellantis/Ram for over 10 months now have claim that the ABS Module is under engineering review to me. The ABS Module controls the brake anti skid, sway control, cruise control and other systems. Since 3/2024 I've tried to replace this module but it's not in stock because of not being produced. It's a manufactured control item only. I was informed by Gator Dodge this has been a problem for almost a year now if not longer. Called Stellantis/Ram and was informed to go to a junk yard to get a replacement with no product control. Tried to exchange it for a new truck but the dealer does not want it on it"s lot because of no anti skid and other functions this module controls. If it's not safe enough for Ram to sale how can it be a safe vehicle on public road ways? To answer any questions, yes the truck has been inspect by Gator Ram and a certified independent mechanic. As a retired Airline Captain if this was a plane the FAA would have grounded it until the problems were address.

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.

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!

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.

Suspension is air ride and is defected. It stops working and makes the truck bounce with any disturbance/bump on the road. Truck sways from side to side. Have had to replace the front axles/joints and the front end alignment. The mechanic stated that something was welded (that shouldn't have been) probably was caused because of the suspension. Every now and again the warning message "service suspension" comes on but not every time it happens. I haven't had the money to have it inspected because I put a lot down on the vehicle and to have the front end repaired. Our insurance wouldn't cover the claim.

THIS IS TELLING ME THAT I DO NOT HAVE ANY TRACTION CONTROL. THIS WILL BECOME A MAJOR ISSUE WHEN IT SNOWS.

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 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!

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.

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.

This is getting ridiculous. Every time my vehicle is washed at the dealership with the high power jets, water gets into the vehicle from the third brake light and blows the bulb. As a disabled vet, it is getting impossible to climb into the bed and replace. This time, I took it to the dealership, which they replaced. They solution? The third brake light unit needs to be sealed, including on all the other Rams including the news one. If Stellantis is aware of this, why is this not a recall? Their next recommendation? Stop getting the truck washed. Is dirty Rams everywhere the advertisement Stellatis wants? The new slogan should be, "buy a Ram, just don't wash it...ever". The third brake light bulb will not blow when the truck is detailed or it a normal to light rain. Between the heavy rains and the dealership's high powered water jets, there is a permanent water stain on my headliner. The dealership warned me that if too much water gets inside, it will damage the RTF (?), which will render the truck useless. This has been an ongoing problem since I have owned the truck, which was purchased in 2015 or 2016. I want to know directly from Stellantis that if I replace the third brake light (again), but with an aftermarket LED unit, will the light continue to leak. If you conduct an online search, you will see how many other Ram owners have the same problem, yet Stellantis does nothing. If Ram's high powered water jets blow the bulbs, why does Ram still use the high powered jets? I am asking that Stellantis replace all the Ram third brake lights with aftermarket LED units and seal those units. Additionally, I need my headliner replaced. Attached is today's receipt of the bulb being replaced along with my stained headliner. A vehicle cannot pass a safety inspection with the third brake light out. You can even see on the dealership's comments, "Do Not Wash Indefinitely".

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 Foam protector that goes on the head rest cracked and is crumbling. I contacted them about the issue but they said that warranty was over and they tried to sell me the same car seat for a discounted price. My sister had bought the same exact car seat and she had the same issue with the foam head rest. I believe the quality of the foam part that goes in the head rest is faulty, it shouldn't have cracked and crumbled. My child's safety was at risk, if i had not taken it apart to wash it I would have not noticed it. I believe these specific car seats are not safe for use.

The electric power steering (EPS) system on my 2014 Ram 1500 has intermittently failed, most recently when transitioning from idle, such as leaving a parking lot, and during deep turns. This marks the third time I've experienced steering-related issues with this truck. Each time the EPS fails, a "Service Power Steering" alert appears, and the steering becomes extremely difficult, posing a serious safety risk, especially in situations requiring precise maneuvering or sudden corrections. A sudden loss of steering control could lead to a collision, potentially resulting in serious injury or death. This issue has been previously repaired twice—once by the original dealer and once under warranty after I purchased the truck, without prior knowledge of the problem. Despite these repairs, the failure has returned, indicating an unresolved or recurring defect. The issue has not yet been diagnosed or confirmed by a dealer or independent mechanic for this latest occurrence. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request.

Driving on the interstate without cruise control on at 70 mph. I had a vehicle passing in the fast lane and a vehicle in front of me slowing down so I applied a little pressure to my brake peddle and my truck automatically began to accelerate on its own. I kept pushing on the brake peddle and it was stuck in a acceleration. The brakes tried slowing it down but it would not stop acceleration once I took my foot of the brake peddle it just rapidly began to pick up speed on its own again! I ended up pushing down on the break peddle long enough to turn off the engine and coast off to the side on the interstate. I was so glad it happened while I was driving it and not my wife she could of wrecked into the back of the vehicle in front of us and caused a multiple car crash! The Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) light came on while I was pushing down on the brakes to try stopping the truck, but once I turned the engine off and back on again the (ETC) did not come back on although the brake lights stayed on for about 10 miles.

My 2014 Ram's cab is allowing water to enter into the interior. This appears to be a very common problem with this era of Ram. First, I noticed my third brake light would blow at least once a year. If you do not replace it, the information center on the truck displays that the driver brake light is out, which it is not and is a completely different bulb. I realized this after stopping at the parts store, buying a new driver side brake light, only to determine it was the third brake light. After each rain, I notice a strong mildew smell in my truck. I then noticed a large water stain on the headliner above the rear passenger seat. I have replaced the bulb to the third brake light once a year and the housing light assembly and gasket twice. Water is either entering from the third brake light or from the black roof trim that run from the front windshield to the rear windshield. Could this mold and mildew growing in my headliner be causing my family's allergies? This leak is a very common problem as indicated in Ram forums and in YouTube videos. Many solutions have been owners using silicone all over the third brake light and the black trim that runs from windshield to windshield. Ram should recall the third brake light, body trim, and replace all headliners.

We had our vehicle serviced at the Olathe Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram service center between the dates of May 26, 2024 through June 27th, 2024 on 3 separate occasions due to following. Received truck back on June 17th with a blown air suspension after confirming that the air suspension was filled firm when brought the truck in due to an email received for a recall and when driving the vehicle, the power steering kicked in due to the battery terminal not being secured properly (confirmed by AAA technician). No vehicle lights were turned on during this. Returned truck on June 25th, 2024, received truck on June 26th, 2024 where diesel gas was spewing from my truck sitting idol in my driveway after driving it straight home from the service center. Returned on June 27th, 2024 at 7:00 AM CST after being told by the Dodge technicians that I should've drove the truck to them and that diesel has a burning point of over 1,000 degrees. They towed my truck to the shop after I refused. Received my truck at 2:30 PM EST the same day for my road trip that had been scheduled for 6 months. On July 6th, 2024, when driving my truck 4 of the 5 lug nuts broke off completely in which the tire flew off of my truck and caused a singular car accident and damage to my vehicle. We could've been seriously injured due to where we were on the road. I had additional injury to my lower back during the accident incident. We had the vehicle inspected by the California local police department as well as the licensed technician who confirmed that this was negligence by the service center who serviced my truck less than 2 weeks prior. I am in the process of filing a complaint with the General Attorney due to not receiving any response from Dodge regarding this matter.

STEERING,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
1 complaint
I entered the off-ramp slightly turning right from the Interstate when all of a sudden the power steering went out and I heard a dinging sound. The steering wheel jerked left and almost sent me over a 30 ft. drop into a lake. I was very fortunate only to do a 180 degree spin with no damage to my truck.Had I not slowed down more than usual due to the rain I would surely be at the bottom of that lake. After coming to a halt and facing oncoming traffic I found the power steering did’nt work at all and doing a 3 point turn is not happening because I have 33 inch mud tires on my truck so I inched my way back and forth until I was able to get back into moving traffic. On my way home with no power steering, the power steering light is constantly flashing and all of a sudden I hear another ding. The gas gauge on the instrument panel is now reading Empty when I filled up that morning and I have a flashing Fuel Sensor Fail warning. This issue with the Power Steering needs to be recalled/fixed immediately. This is ridiculous to see nothing has been done and is still being investigated 1 year later with all of the complaints specifically regarding the power steering are right in front of you.

This is the 4th time it's happened and also the 2nd time iv almost been killed!! I have a 2014 ram 1500 which iv grown to love. Iv have alot of issues but never complained and just took care of ... yet the gauge cluster display decides to go into a party mode (strobing) and flickering or just flat out going black!!! I have bad eyes and twice now within 2 months driving at night iv gone off the road because of the flashing in my eyes! Iv found this is a common issue but the dealer told me I cannot get it fixed even though it's been recalled under other trucks! This has almost killed me! Please all I'm asking is to fix this for me... I love this truck but I'm terrified to drive it now with this issue let alone get rid of it and God for bid someone else has an accident . Please help a ram fan pile on the miles with a safe vehicle.. thank you for your time, im sorry for the long message but this is very serious and obviously a safety issue . Again, iv gone off the road and avoided a very serious incident that was caused by a faulty part. I completly understand parts going bad and having to replace them out of pocket. NOTHING SHOULD WORK FINE ONE MINUTE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN START STROBBING IN ANYONES FACE . Thank you again

Vehicle began experiencing electrical issues upon ABS/HCU unit failure. While initially intermittent, which allowed continued usage of the vehicle, additional components such as cruise control, trailer braking, etc., began to malfunction. Warning lights would toggle on and off, and truck began to have no-start problems with C0020 ABS codes and UO140 codes being thrown. Truck went to two Ram dealerships for inspection and neither could replicate any issues, but they were able to see the warning lights and code history. After being advised to first replace TIPM, battery, and starter, my truck has now completely died in my driveway. When I attempt to start, the check engine light comes on (in addition to ABS, trailer brake, traction control, etc.) and flashes between 3-10 times. I've now been told by dealer that the problem is actually in the ABS module and HCU, which due to the known issues with these parts may have caused damage to all of these other components, leading to the fault in the canbus system. This has been ongoing for nearly two years, which is ridiculous for the money spent on this vehicle. I've been advised by other Ram truck owners dealing with this type of situation to file a report in efforts to aid the ongoing investigation. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of any further help, or alternatively if there is a resolution to this matter. Thank you and kind regards.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that the ABS had water in the system. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The power steering and traction control became inoperable. The contact stated that the brake pedal was soft when depressed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was determined that the ABS module, the front wheel, and the rear wheel sensors needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who stated that the cap was full of grease and failed to connect, and the sensors were loosened. There was condensation in the module. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000. The contact stated it seems like with having the four wheel drive in gauge, an the abs malfunctioning, it took out the transmission.

While driving on the highway my air suspension fails dropping my front end all the way to the frame stops causing speed wobble and an almost loss of control. After replacing a fuse dude to the compressor failing The very next day the right rear dropped while driving causing unsafe driving conditions. This is the third time in 6mo that this has happened with my truck. My truck is welcome to be inspected anytime. My safety, my kid’s safety, and other on the road are in danger if this happens and I lose control. There was no warning besides a service air suspension immediately notification on my dash as it was happening. There are thousands of reports of this being an issue in 2014-2019 ram trucks with air suspension. The dealer and manufacturer have been no help and I’ve been told by the dealer even after fixing it it will fail again in cold weather. This needs to be addressed NOW this is crazy this has not been corrected by Dodge.

Thursday, July 21, 2022 11:46 AM The foam that is minimally-glued into the headrest popped off of the shell after a couple months of use. We were able to hold it in place with the fabric cover for several months. Then, the foam began slipping and ultimately cracked in half. We were unable to keep it in place after that. We have photos of the damage. The seat has been destroyed per the request of the manufacturer. Once the headrest is raised above the level of the outer seat shell, any amount of pressure or holding onto the headrest causes it to bend and flex. I believe this allowed the headrest foam to pop off. Without the foam in the correct location, there is not appropriate padding for the child's head in an accident. A report was made to Chicco. Though outside of the warranty period, Chicco replaced the seat.

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.

While in the process of unhitching my camping trailer, I put the truck in reverse to gently center the tow ball under the hitch when the vehicle suddenly accelerated at high RPMs and lurched backward. I braked but the engine continued racing at high speed. Braking was completely ineffective as the tires continued "burning rubber" on the pavement. My wife was helping me guide the vehicle when this occurred. The only thing that prevented an accident and serious injury to my wife and me was the trailer. The trailer's wheels were still chocked, but the sudden, forceful acceleration dislodged the jack stand and pushed the trailer back approximately 4 to 5 inches. The acceleration stopped on its own after approximately 30 seconds. This was a terrifying experience that had the potential for a tragic outcome. This problem has not been yet been diagnosed by a dealer or service center, as it just occurred a few hours ago. There were no warning lamps or any other symptoms preceding it.

The Air Suspension System on my 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 4 X4 has stalled or has currently frozen and this makes it extremely difficult to steer the vehicle. Even at low speeds 25-45 mph it leaves the pavement when crossing the slightest pavement imperfections. The Highways of Louisiana and Texas are filled with imperfections and it is a horrifying experience to drive this vehicle in this condition. I have taken it to several different respected mechanics, and many are the most recommended and it's always the same. "Dodge needs to have their butts kicked for putting this system in a small truck such as this." They warns me, 'it will only grow worse as the truck gets older.' When driving on the Interstate (I-20) in Louisiana and Texas the truck leaves the ground whenever I pass over a dip, bump or a bridge. This is scary when I am driving along beside an 18 Wheeler. Crossing Railroad Tracks is so distressing and uncomfortable needless to say, It feels like the truck is falling apart. I am afraid for my own safety, but I must drive the 35 miles one way to work five days a week. I have replaced the pump, but now the pump is pumping, but it appears to be something else. The local Dealerships have a reputation of ripping people off, and when I call to inquire or complain I only get a Salesmen who can help by assisting me to trade it in. At this point, with vehicle prices skyrocketing I just this dealership should sale vehicles worth the money they get. Dodge really needs to fix this problem. I have looked on YouTube and noticed this is a very common problem, and in every video the owners are stating how dangerous these vehicles are when the system goes out. It is life threatening to simple drive this vehicle to work in order to make a living to support my family.

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 FCA RAM 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 DELAY 2.- THE DELAY CAUSED THIS WEEK TO BE ALMOST ROLLED OVER FOR INCOMING 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 TRUCK 3.- 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 AND AT THAT POINT YOU ARE CLOSE TO CRASH IT ON THE THING THAT YOU ARE APPROACHING 6.-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 POWER IF 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 ISSUES I NEED YOUR HELP SOLVING THESE ISSUES THANK YOU VERY MUCH

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.

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. *TR

SUSPENSION,POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
1 complaint
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. *TR

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 A HESITATION 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 IT GOES 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 SHOULD THIS IS A BRAND NEW TRUCK. *TR
