2015 RAM 1500 Complaints

WAS DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE ON THE DASH. THEN THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SLOW DOWN BY ITSELF AND THEN STARTED TO TAKE OFF BY ITSELF. AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN IT LEAPED FORWARD INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN I WAS TRYING TO TURN OFF THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T MAKE IT REPEAT SO THEY SENT ME ON MY WAY WITH NO RESOLUTION. THIS TIME, I GOT AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF ATTITUDE FROM THE DEALERSHIP SAYING I WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEMS AND THAT I DIDN'T WANT ANY HELP AFTER THEY MENTIONED THEY WERE GOING TO CHARGE ME. I'M SURPRISED THEY LET ME HAVE THAT TRUCK BACK AS DANGEROUS AS IT IS BUT THEY CERTAINLY DID. THIS THING IS LIKE A TIME-BOMB. JUST WAITING FOR THE NEXT INCIDENT AND THERE CERTAINLY WILL BE ONE. THEY WOULD NOT LET ME HAVE THE PAPERWORK THIS LAST TIME BECAUSE I WOULD NOT SIGN IT.

WITHIN THE LAST 30 DAYS, MY TRUCK HAS LOST POWER STEERING CAPABILITIES NUMEROUS TIMES. IT VARIES WHEN THIS OCCURS AS WELL. IT COULD BE A FULL HIGHWAY SPEED, DRIVING SLOWLY THROUGH A PARKING LOT OR EVEN WHILE STATIONARY. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE CENTER FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND WAS TOLD THE STEERING IS ONE ELECTRIC UNIT SO I DID SOME RESEARCH WITH MY MECHANIC AND FOUND A LIMITED RECALL ON 2015-16 RAM 1500S FOR THE POWER STEERING ECM. AT THIS POINT, I BELIEVE THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE A FULL RECALL. AT THIS TIME WE CANNOT FIND THE PARTS TO FIX THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY ARE SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE DUE TO SUCH HIGH DEMAND FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS MOST LIKELY DUE TO THE SAME ISSUES I'M EXPERIENCING WITH MY VEHICLE.

SEVERAL TIME WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CROSS AN INTERSECTION OR JUST DRIVING MY TRUCK HAS GONE INTO LIMP MODE LEAVING ME WITHOUT THROTTLE CONTROL EXPOSING ME TO POSSIBLE COLLISION .

THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING, SO I BROUGHT IT TO THE DODGE DEALER. THE RAN A TEST AND IT SHOWS A FUEL SENSOR ERROR. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS HAPPENING A LOT AND IF NOT FIXED SOON IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT FILLS WITH WATER. THE WATER HAPPENS WHEN EVER THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. THE CONDENSATION NEVER DISSIPATES AND KEEPS THE LIGHT LENS FOGGED UP. THIS HINDERS VISIBILITY. I HAVE ASKED THE DEALER IF THERE WAS A RECALL AND TO FIX THIS PROBLEM TO NO AVAIL.

ENGINE FIRE RESULTING IN TOW TO DEALERSHIP. HAULING 4000LB TRLR @ 65MPH, RUMBLING FIRST THEN WHITE SMOKE FROM REAR OF TRUCK WHEN ENGINE DIED. PULLED OFF HWY AND FOUND SMALL FIRE IN CENTER OF MANIFOLD. EXTINGUISHED AND RESTARTED TRUCK. FUEL SPRAYING FROM FUEL LINE.

MY FUEL SENSOR FAILS AFTER 30 MILES INTO FILLING MY GAS TANK. THIS BEGAN AT ABOUT 50,000 MILES AND CONTINUES EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK.

STARTING A FEW MONTHS AGO POWER STEERING WOULD OCCASIONALLY GO OUT BUT THEN IT WOULD CORRECT ITSELF SO I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A GLITCH. NOW IT HAS BEGUN AGAIN AND IT HAS NOT CORRECTED ITSELF. OCCURS WHEN TURNING AT ANY SPEED.

ENGINE SHUTS OFF INSTANTLY WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. WON'T START BACK UP FOR SEVERAL HOURS. WHEN TRYING TO RESTART, STARTER TURNS BUT SEEMS NO GAS IS GOING TO ENGINE. TRUCK ONLY HAS 39K MILES. WHEN I WALKED AWAY FROM THE TRUCK THE AUTO STARTER TRIED TO START IT ON IT'S OWN.

HAVE A VIBRATION OR SHIMMY IN THE RIGHT REAR TIRE, WHEEL OR AXLE. HAVE PUT ON NEW TIRES AND ROTATED/BALANCED THEM. DODGE DEALERSHIP HAS LOOKED IT OVER AND TELLS ME NO PROBLEM. THE 2014S HAD A SHIMMY PROBLEM. I'VE READ MANY REVIEWS OF OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AT OR ABOVE 50 MPH. APPROXIMATE DATE OF OCCURRENCE BELOW.
