2015 RAM 1500 Complaints

ENTIRE TRUCK SHAKES INSIDE AT 50+MPH AND DOES NOT GO AWAY THE FASTER YOU DRIVE. THE SHAKE STARTED WITH FACTORY TIRES AND SINCE PUTTING NEW TIRES ON THE VEHICLE THE SHAKES CONTINUE, FEELS LIKE A DRIVE LINE VIBRATION OR SOMETHING IN THE REAR END.. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY BLAMED THE NEW TIRES AND WOULD NOT INVESTIGATE FURTHER BUT THE SHAKE WAS THERE PRIOR TO THE NEW TIRES AT THE SAME SPEEDS, I'VE HAD THE NEW TIRES ROAD FORCED BALANCED 3 TIMES AND EACH TIME THE COMPANY SAID MY TIRES ARE OK. LIFTING THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE UP MYSELF AND PUTTING INTO DRIVE THE RIGHT REAR LOOKS AS IF THERE IS A WOBBLE FROM THE AXLE SHAFT AND LOTS OF NOISE FROM REAR DIFFERENTIAL. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS FOR JULY 2015 ON ABOUT IMPROPER HEAT TREATMENT BUT MY BUILD DATE WAS MAY 2015 AND THINK THAT THIS TRUCK IS AFFECTED AS WELL. THIS IS A CAUSE FOR CONCERN BECAUSE THOSE AXLES THAT WERE DEFECTIVE HAVE A POSSIBILITY OF BREAKING WHILE DRIVING AND SEEMS UNSAFE WHEN YOUR TRANSPORTING FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE.

DROVE LESS THAN A MILE AND TRUCK SHUT DOWN IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION WHILE MOVING WITHOUT WARNING. TOOK TO SHOP AND FOUND OUT IT HAD DROPPED A PISTON. HAD ENGINE PULLED AND ANOTHER USED (22000MILE) ENGINE PUT IT. TRUCK RAN FOR 40 MINUTES BUT WAS SHOWING MISFIRE IN 7. THEN TRUCK SHUT DOWN.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST. ATTEMPTED TO HAVE DEALER FIX AS MY REGULAR MECHANIC INFORMED ME OF 2016 RECALL. 519-NHTSA-16V/167. DEALER TOLD ME MY VEHICLE DID NOT SHOW ANY RECALLS

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON , FUEL GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY AND LOW FUEL FLASHED ACROSS DASH. TOOK VEHICLE TO LOCAL DEALER AFTER RESEARCHING ON INTERNET TO FIND OUT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WHICH HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BY DODGE/RAM.

WHEN FILLING THE TRUCK WITH FUEL CANN'T REMOVE THE GAS NOZZLE. HAVE A HARD TIME EVERY TIME I FILL MY TRUCK. SOME HAS TO HELP ME. IS A RECALL ON THE FILLER HOLE.

TOWBIN DODGE (275 AUTO MALL DR, HENDERSON, NV 89014,(702) 558-3800) WAS CONTACTED AND SCHEDULED A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. THE DEALER DID NOT KNOW IF THE REPAIR WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

STEERING WHEEL IS STIFF AND HAS FLAT SPOTS IN IT. PEOPLE AT DEALER SHIP SAID CHECK POWER STEERING RESERVOIR, AND MY TRUCK IS ALL ELECTRICAL. THE STIFFNESS COMES AND GOES. AND THE STEERING WHEEL HAS A SQUEAKING SOUND EVERY TIME I TURN. IT DOES IT EVER TIME I DRIVE AND WHEN I AM STATIONARY AS WELL.

PASSENGER SIDE STORAGE WELL WAS COMPLETELY FILLED WITH WATER. WENT UNNOTICED FOR UNKNOWN NUMBER OF DAYS. TOOK VEHICLE INTO CROWN DODGE OF FAYETTEVILLE. THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE GROWING NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE. REPLACED 3RD BRAKE LIGHT, THEY TRIED TELLING ME THAT ALL DOOR WEATHER STRIPS WERE WORN AND NEEDED REPLACED. DEALERSHIP DID NOT LOOK FOR, FIND OR FIX WATER DAMAGE TO THE SEATS, CARPET OR BODY PANELS. THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT WITH WATER DAMAGE IN THE SAME SPOT WHILE I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE.

AIR SUSPENSION WOULD FAIL FREQUENTLY IN FRIGID TEMPERATURES. FIRST OCCURRED WINTER OF 2016.WAS A REGULAR OCCURRENCE UNTIL RECEIVING A SOFTWARE UPDATE. DEALER TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS A RESULT OF A SOFTWARE DESIGN FLAW IN THE AIR SUSPENSION CONTROL MODULE. THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE ON 2-15-2019 (42,000 MILES) AND SOMEHOW FELT JUSTIFIED CHARGING ME $90. CHRYSLER SENT A SERVICE BULLETIN (08-051-16) TO THE DEALERS ON 4-23-2016 NOTING THE DESIGN FLAW AND RECOMMENDING THE SOFTWARE UPDATE. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FIX UNTIL AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRED. I FEEL THIS IS UNSAFE AND VERY UNETHICAL.
