I BOUGHT MY 2015 RAM 1500 ON NOVEMBER 27, 2017. THE TRUCK LOOKED AS THOUGH IT HAD BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED AND TAKEN CARE OF. THE FIRST OR SECOND WEEK IN DECEMBER A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS PULLING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A FUEL PUMP SENSOR WHICH THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED. NOW AFTER A MONTH AND A HALF LATER, ANOTHER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS CAME ON WHILE PARKING AT A RESTAURANT. 3 CODES HAVE SHOWN UP FOR THIS CEL. THEY ARE P26AB, P26A7, AND P2681. THESE CODES HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ENGINE COOLANT BYPASS VALVE CONTROL. AFTER ONLY AN HOUR OF SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY THE FOLLOWING DAY THERE WAS A HUGE RAINBOW COLORED LEAK ON THE ASPHALT AND FLUID SETTLING AND DRIPPING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF THIS TRUCK SINCE I PURCHASED IT. IT IS JUST AS CLEAN AS THE DAY I TOOK IT OFF THE LOT. I AM WORRIED THAT THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS TRUCK NOW AND THAT THE DEALERSHIP WILL TRY AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ME AND THE FACT THAT THE WARRANTY WAS ONLY FOR 30 DAYS BECAUSE WHEN I PURCHASED IT THE VEHICLE WAS USED AND HAD 72000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS MY FIRST DODGE RAM TRUCK I HAVE EVER OWNED AND SO FAR I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE RELIABILITY. I WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ONE DAY THIS WEEK WHEN I CAN GET OFF OF WORK. HOPEFULLY THEY DON'T TRY TO "PULL ONE OVER" ON ME. ATTACHED IS THE LEAK IN MY DRIVEWAY AFTER AN HOUR OF BEING PARKED.

TRUCK HAD SUDDEN ACCELERATION TWICE AND IT COULDN'T BE STOPPED WITH THE BRAKES EITHER TIME. ONCE IT TOTALLY LOST POWER AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION IS VERY DANGEROUS ' MAKES THE TRUCK MOVE AT A HIGH SPEED SUDDENLY AND UNABLE TO BE STOPPED WITH THE BRAKES. WE DROVE THROUGH TWO FENCES. WE HAVE PICTURES OF THE FENCES AND THE TRACKS THE TRUCK MADE IN THE SNOW. *TT *AS *DT *JB

WHEN BELOW 20 DEGREES THE AIR SUSPENSION LOSES ITS ABILITY TO MAINTAIN PROPER RIDE HEIGHT. SOMETIMES THE TRUCK WILL SIT NOSE DOWN, REAR DOWN, OR ALL BUT ONE CORNER DOWN. USUALLY AFTER SITTING OUTSIDE IN THE COLDER TEMPS IS WHEN THE TRUCK STARTS TO DO THIS HOWEVER ONCE IT HAS DONE SO WHILE MOVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH. WHEN TRYING TO INFLATE THE AIR BAGS THE TRUCK TYPICALLY BLOWS THE 40A FUSE CONTROLLING THE AIR SUSPENSION WHICH RENDERS IT INOPERABLE UNTIL REPLACED. SEEMS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM IN ANY CLIMATE THAT SEES COLDER TEMPERATURES. BIGGEST ISSUE IS WHAT HAPPENS IF THE SYSTEM GIVES OUT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SORT OF SPEED.
