2014 RAM 1500 Complaints

Driving normally about 30mph about 2 minutes into my trip, heard chime and power steering stopped. Got it to the side of the road and re-started engine. Power steering came back. Drove about another 10 minutes and it happened again. Re-started engine and it was fine for the rest of the day.

Steering is locking up while driving. Had a diagnostic done and they said the rack and pinion and EPS module needs replaced. According to the internet the RAM 1500s are all having issues and there have been safety recalls on the trucks. Except for the 2014 model year.

The brake, traction control and ABS warning lights came on in the dashboard. I went to local auto parts store and they scanned the vehicle and I got a C2200-0049 DTC. This apparently means I there is an internal failure in the ABS Module. I went to my local dealer and they told me the ABS Module is backordered and it will be at least 45 days before I would be able to get the repair. I've looked online and have discovered there appears to be a severe shortage of availability of the part and has been for several years. I don't understand how such a critical component of a vehicle is unavailable. To my research, the required part number is 68228991-AD.

My 2014 Ram 1500 ABS light, traction control, and brake light popped up and if I drive it for a short bit and stop and shut it off and crank it up the light don’t come back on. It has been doing this all the time through the winter and now says on all the time. All so the back up camera doesn’t power up when you first start vehicle for about two minutes on the radio display. The camera not coming on creates a big safety issue when backing up. We have small grandchildren and this makes it a big safety concern.

The air suspension system on the truck fails, it will not raise. I’ve replaced almost all the components of the air suspension system and it’s still not working. The system fails in any type of weather but often it does so more in winter. System has been reset multiple times. Compressor has been replaced twice, relay replaced, fuses replaced, lines have been checked, height sensors have been replaced. Looking at online forums, this seems to be an issue with many Dodge Rams of 2014 as well as other years.

My son was driving on the freeway and went to change lanes and all of a sudden the power steering system stopped working and he told me after the fact that it locked up and he could not turn the steering wheel so he hit a guard rail and flipped the truck on its side. It caught on fire instantly and he was lucky to be able to get out. A passerby stopped while the truck was on fire and held the passenger door opened for him as he climbed out. If there were any children in the vehicle, they might have not been so lucky! Could have killed my son and anybody else on the road that early morning. Should be a police report. No system failures at the time.

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while attempting to register the vehicle, it was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 138,000, and at the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 248,000.

Airbag light comes on and beeps then shits off intermittently. Happens every time we drive the vehicle. I noticed there were other past recalls about the ABS warning light coming on. The message on dash says "Service Airbag System". Our truck has never been in an accident, the horn still works, wiring looks secure for airbag harness, not sure if this is a common problem but I googled it and I've seen several Ram owners with the same light on.

Abs light, park brake light and traction control warninglights on dash. Non are working vehicle slides on wet pavement. Took to repair shop was informed this is a common problem with this year and model. No parts are available for a fix. Was told by a Ram dealership they have at least 5 vehicles waiting on parts and could be up to a year before any are available. Vehicle is not able to be operated safely. Ram should be held responsible for negligence. 1 year later still waiting on parts

the electric steering. yes it is available to inspect. steering intermittantly fails and very hard to turn. when turning it doesnt wanna turn and almost hit a car and some objects. no the vehicle has not yet been inspected by dealer due to cost of everything. no the vehicle has not been inspected at all yet. no i have not seen any warning lamps or messages in regards to the steering. it just started happening. ive heard and read alot that have had the same issues
