2015 RAM 1500 Complaints

THERE IS A SPLIT-SECOND DELAY WHEN PRESSING THE HORN BUTTON AND THE HORN ACTUALLY SOUNDING. VERY SIGNIFICANT WHEN SOMEONE IS ENTERING YOUR LANE AND DOESN'T SEE YOU. SERVICE TECH CHARGED ME $50 TO TELL ME THAT THIS IS NORMAL. IT CERTAINLY SHOULD NOT BE NORMAL. VERY DANGEROUS. IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE NEW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 2 MPH, WITH THE STEERING WHEEL SLIGHTLY TURNED RIGHT OR LEFT, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WALLACE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (2755 SE FEDERAL HWY, STUART, FL 34994, 772-220-3600) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE ACTUATOR FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE STEERING WHEEL CONTINUED TO SHAKE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 46,000. *TT CONSUMER STATED THIS CONDITION REPEATED WHILE ALSO IN REVERSE.*JB

THIS IS THE SECOND RAM I HAVE OWNEC WITH A SHIFT KNOB ON THE DASH. BOTH HAVE FAILED AROUND 60K MILES. IN BOTH TRUCKS THE SHIFT WILL RANDOMLY EITHER GO JNTO NEUTRAL OR PARK WHILE STOPPED.. HAS HAPPENED TO ME AT RED LIGHTS. I'VE HAD TO SHIFT BACK TO PARK AND RESET THE DESIRED GEAR. ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS I HAD CYCLE THE SHIFTER 3 TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD GO INTO GEAR CAUSING TRAFFIC TO BACK UP. I REPLACED THE SHIFTER AND CURED THE PROBLEM ON BOTH TRUCKS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL.

FUEL SENSOR FAIL WARNING COMES ON. WHEN I FILL MY TANK IT IS FINE UNTIL APPX 50 MILES WHILE DRIVING MY FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY. AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON NOW. I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE. SO I RAN OUT OF FUEL YESTERDAY ON THE FWY AND I ALMOST GOT KILLED BY SEVERAL 18 WHEELERS. I HURT MY BACK PUSHING IT.

MY TRUCK CAUGHT FIRE WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE ON DEC 23 2018. ALL GAUGES SUGGESTED NORMAL OPERATING PARAMETERS. THE TRUCK HAS 120K MILES. IT'S A TOTAL LOSS. *DT *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY MALFUNCTIONED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. DURING THE FAILURE, THE STEERING SENSOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BUTLER CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (1555 SALEM RD, BUFORD, SC 29902), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

I HAVE A 2015 DODGE RAM 1500 AND I HAVE A PROBLEM WHERE I'LL GO TO START MY VEHICLE AND THE POWER STEERING JUST LOCKS UP UNTIL MY TRANSMISSION REACHES 180*F I BELIEVE THE ISSUE MIGHT BE THE STEERING COLUMN BECAUSE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED AND LOWERED I THINK IT CAUSED TOO MUCH STRESS TO THE U JOINTS OR SOMETHING HAPPENED. I DON'T KNOW WHY THE FCA WILL NOT REPORT THIS AS A RECALL BECAUSE I TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALER AND 100+ CARS ARE IN THERE FOR THE SAME REASON EVEN STATE POLICE CARS .

BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY DOES NOT SEAL PROPERLY ANY TIME IT RAINS OR THE VEHICLE GETS WASHED WATER LEAKS INTO THE CABIN. ROOF LINER IS ALREADY STAINED AND THE VEHICLE INTERIOR MAY BECOME DAMAGED.

DRIVING SLOWLY THROUGH AN AREA WITH WATER ON ROAD. THERE WAS BLACK ICE ON THE ROAD AND TRUCK HIT ICE. WENT OUT OF CONTROL ACROSS ROAD UP AN ENBANKMENT AND SLAMMED INTO A TELEPHONE POLE. TOTALED TRUCK AND AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY

55K MILES ON TRUCK. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. PULLED ERROR CODE P0463 WHICH INDICATED AN ISSUE WITH FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. LIGHT WENT OUT AFTER A FEW ENGINE STARTS. TODAY THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES BACK ON, FUEL GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY (EVEN THOUGH IT HAS 3/4 OF A TANK, AND A FUEL LEVEL SENSORS FAILURE MESSAGE DISPLAYS ON THE DASH. AN INTERNET SEARCH FOUND THAT THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THE 2014+ RAMS. THE FUEL SENDER WEARS A LINE ON THE SENSOR AND THE CONTACTS NOT LONGER MAKE CONTACT. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. THE FIX INVOLVES DRAINING THE TANK, PULLING THE BED ON THE TRUNK AND REPLACEMENT OF EITHER THE COMPLETE FUEL PUMP OR THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. COST ESTIMATES ARE $575 AND ON UP. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR A TRUCK THAT'S ONLY 3YRS OLD AND 55K MILES. I HAVE A 1979 MERCURY BOBCAT AND THE GAS GAUGE STILL WORKS ON IT. THIS IS JUST A POORLY DESIGNED PART THAT CAUSES PREMATURE FAILURE.
