2015 RAM 1500 Complaints

WE BOUGHT THIS PICKUP NEW FROM THE CHRYSLER DEALER IN SAN JOSE ON CAPITAL EXPRESSWAY. THE PROBLEM, WHICH I BELIEVE CAN TURN DEADLY, IS THAT THE FUEL FILLER TUBE ON THE VEHICLE IS DROPPING BELOW THE ENTRY CAP. IT GETS PUSHED FURTHER DOWN EVERYTIME YOU FILL IT UP. SOMETIMES YOU CAN NOT GET THE GAS FILLER HOSE OUT OF THE TANK. IT ONCE TOOK THREE PEOPLE TO GET IT REMOVED. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT TENDS TO LOOSEN THE NECK OF THE FILLER EVERY TIME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS "YEAH, WE KNOW ABOUT THAT BUT THERE IS NO FIX" I WROTE TO FIAT AND THEY BLEW IT OFF. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE, YOU ARE MY LAST RESORT. I HAD A PICTURE BUT ITS TOO HARD TO SEE WHAT GOING ON, I'M NOT SURE THAT'S A HELP. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY WHILE PUMPING IN GAS. YOU ARE REQUESTING A DATE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP.

I LIVE IN INTERNATIONAL FALLS, MINNESOTA AND OUR AREA RECENTLY SUSTAINED -30 BELOW FARENHEIT TEMPERATURES FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. DURING THIS COLD WEATHER, THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION SYSTEM QUIT WORKING AND I CURRENTLY HAVE NO SUSPENSION. I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON IN THE AREA THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH A DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCK WITH AIR RIDE SUSPENSION. I SPOKE WITH ANOTHER MALE ON 1/2/18 THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS 2016 DODGE RAM 1500 WITH AIR RIDE SUSPENSION. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING.

I TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A OIL PRESSURE SENSOR. THEY DID AN INSPECTION ON THE TRUCK AND FOUND THE PINION NUT LOOSE AND LEAKING OIL. THEY SAID IT WAS SAFETY RECALL P77 AND FIXED THE PROBLEM. I LOOKED UP P77 RECALL AND IT DID NOT INCLUDE 2015 TRUCKS. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT HOW MAN OTHER PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE THIS PROBLEM THAT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

PUT TRUCK IN PARK AND EXITED VEHICLE AND IT ROLLED AWAY IN DRIVE. RAN AFTER IT FOR 2 BLOCKS UNTIL IT JUMPED A CURB AND HALTED. NO INJURIES BUT COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS.

2015 DODGE RAM 2500 MEGA CAB 4X4 PICKUP TRUCK. THE AIRBAG IN A 2015 DODGE RAM 2500 TRUCK FAILED TO DEPLOY AFTER THE TRUCK WAS INVOLVED IN A SEVERE FRONTAL COLLISION. THE TRUCK HAD BEEN SUBJECT TO TWO PREVIOUS NHTSA SAFETY RECALLS CONCERNING AIR BAG RESTRAINT CONTROLS (NHTSA RECALLS #15V-460 & #17V-302) AND BOTH RECALLS HAD BEEN COMPLETED BY THE TRUCK DEALERSHIP. THE TRUCK WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WHEN IT WAS STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT FRONTAL DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS STRUCK WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO DISPLACE THE TRUCK REARWARD APPROXIMATELY 15 FEET. THE AIRBAG RESTRAINT FAILED TO DEPLOY DURING THE COLLISION AND THE IN-DASH MESSAGE SYSTEM IN THE TRUCK DISPLAYED A MESSAGE ABOUT AIRBAG REQUIRING SERVICE AT THE ACCIDENT SCENE. DRIVER REQUIRED AMBULANCE TRANSPORT TO THE HOSPITAL. THE AIRBAGS IN THE OTHER VEHICLE, WHICH STRUCK THIS TRUCK, DID DEPLOY AS EXPECTED, AND THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE IN WHICH THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED DID NOT REQUIRE AMBULANCE TRANSPORT. ## VIN PASSED ## DODGE RAM 2500 2015 ##

THE TRUCK BED TAILGATE IS HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE LOCKS. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK BED OPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON LOCAL HIGHWAYS. IN ADDITION THE BED IS NO LONGER STAYING UNLOCKED WITH THE OTHER LOCKS ON THE VEHICLE OR IT WILL STAY LOCKED WHEN THE REST OF THE TRUCK IS UNLOCKED. I HAVE LOOKED UP THE ISSUE AND FOUND SEVERAL FORUMS WITH SIMILAR SITUATIONS BUT MUCH MORE DANGEROUS RESULTS.

PASSENGER SIDE REAR AXLE SHAFT WEARING PREMATURELY, WHERE THE OUTER AXLE BEARING ROLLS ON THE SHAFT, THE NORMAL, INTACT BEARING IS WEARING A DEEP GROOVE INTO THE SHAFT.

AXLE HAS HAD NORMAL MAINTINANCE, HAS NOT BEEN OVERLOADED, HAS HAD ADEQUATE OIL LEVEL IN AXLE HOUSING ITS WHOLE LIFE, AND THE DRIVER SIDE SHAFT IS NOT WEARING ABNORMALLY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR A WHILE, THE NOISE LESSENED BUT NEVER WENT AWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANCIRA CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (10807 W INTERSTATE 10, SAN ANTONIO, TX 78230, (888) 992-3393) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO CONCERNED THAT WITH THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BEING FRACTURED, THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY OF EXHAUST GASES BEING DISPERSED INTO THE ATMOSPHERE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,000. *TT

WHEN IN MOTION, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES WITH "CHECK ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL" MESSAGE. VEHICLE ENTERS "LIMP" MODE AND WON'T ACCELERATE PROPERLY BECOMING A HAZARD TO OTHER TRAFFIC. THE OBD CODE RECEIVED IS P0299 - TURBO UNDERBOOST. THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE.
