2015 RAM 1500 Complaints

I have a 2015 Ram 1500 Laramie that I've owned for just over a year. I have already had to replace the EPS rack and pinion once, due to losing all power steering while driving with my kids. I paid $1,800 for the rack and pinion with a limited warranty. The warranty is now up and I am having to buy another rack and pinion from $1,800-$2,500. When I was driving my kids to school, my steering wheel completely locked up and I could not control my vehicle. This has been an ongoing issue and my truck has been inoperable for three weeks. MOPAR is selling dangerous vehicle that are not road worthy that endanger not only my family's lives, but those also on the road. This issue needs fixed, because I am now paying for a vehicle that is unsafe and is putting me in financial hardship. The issue has been confirmed by a mechanic shop to be the EPS rack and pinion system. There was zero warning each time this has occurred, I just lost complete control of my vehicle without warning.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, the ABS and ESC warning lights illuminated. The contact was able to drive the vehicle; however, the contact was unable to select the 4-WD function. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the ABS control module had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact had researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V653000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic/Electronic Stability Control (ESC). The manufacturer was informed of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 127,000.

I just looked up that some of the Ram 1500 (2015) models are also in the recall on the Three way coolant valve.I have now purchased Four (4) replacement parts for this ongoing issue. Also replaced my engine. What to do?

The electric power steering has slowly become sluggish. At first I noticed the steering wheel was not returning to center after a turn and I would have to assist steering the truck back straight. This started maybe a month ago and being mechanically inclined I thought maybe it was an alignment issue (not enough caster possibly). Then as I left home this morning, out of the blue, the steering was very heavy with substantially less assist. It was difficult parking and even more sluggish returning to center from a turn requiring full hands on steering back to straight ahead. Looking the issue up on the Internet, I find a recall for this issue in 2016 on a small number of this model and now an new ongoing NHTSA investigation since August 2023. I am the third owner of this truck and it has had great care and is in generally fine condition for a 10 year old truck. I have already had to convert the truck back to coil spring suspension due to the air suspension system crapping out. I don't believe a steering system should give out at only 109,000 miles. I believe Stellantis should be held accountable for major system such as steering failing with such low mileage.

Issued I have had with this vehicle was the camshaft , started shaking and missfire as I was driving heard from other ram owners that this is a common issue on 3.6 ltr The other was an electrical wiring harness that's goes to the engine I have a knob gear shifter as I was driving vehicles. Switch to park and dashboard read something like stop vehicle and restart to shift gear . I thought I had moved it by accident . Next day drove from la, to thousands oaks . Trip started fine till I got to my destination by the grace of God I made it asoon as I parked it all the lights on my dashboard came on traction control throttle body automatic brakes crankshaft sensor and I forgot what else had it towed to LA to mechanic shop where it took them about 3 -4 weeks to pinpoint the issue the esults were the wires were melted and corroded you could see the green residue all along the wire harness. I'm grateful it ain't catch fire or stop on the highway in the middle of the freeway

Power Steering failed while driving. Hard to steer truck. Brought it to a mechanic who diagnosed it with a Failed EPS

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and making a turn, the vehicle experienced a loss of power steering assist. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Action Number: RQ23003 (Steering). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

On about [XXX], I was driving and my engine felt like it missed and my check engine light came on and a message appeared telling me to get remote throttle serviced. The truck began to drive badly and lack of acceleration made it difficult to maneuver in traffic. The truck was very difficult to start and unsafe to pull into traffic due to lagging ability to accelerate. I took it to a Firestone and they pulled the codes and said the crankshaft sensor and crank tone wheel had failed and needed replacing. I decided to take it to a RAM dealer in Franklin TN to confirm the diagnosis. After about a week, they confirmed and said crankshaft sensor and reluctor wheel needed to be replaced. I asked them if it would be covered under the recall (FCA W58) on the known defect of the crank tone wheel delaminating. When the recall occurred, I had the temporary solution of a computer flash done back in 2021, but the actual defective part was not replaced. They reported back to me that the cost of the repair would not be covered. They said my truck was too old, but the defect was discovered while my truck was still under warranty. Also, under a previous FCA lawsuit, they were made to pay truck owners money and extend their warranty. How can they get away with not having to rectify a known defect without fixing the problem? The computer flash simply allowed the vehicle to continue to operate, but it was by no means safe to operate on public streets in traffic. Will the NHTSA make FCA actually fix this problem?
