2017 RAM 1500 Complaints

I was driving my truck and out of no where started to lose speed, pulled over immediately and lost all power. I didn’t drive my truck anymore because I noticed a knocking noise when I was able to get it back on. I contacted mopar and was advised to take in my truck for open recalls because of the High pressure fuel pump seemed to be exactly what happened to my ram. I took in my truck for the recalls, was called three days later and told I needed to replace all 6 fuel injectors costing me $5000.00, recall states high pressure fuel pump has to be replaced along with any damaged fuel components. Dealer tells me high pressure fuel pump was not broken. I know it was failing because of what happened to my ram.

Was driving my truck on vacation and the steering locked up and is stuck! Rack and pinion fail diagnosed by the dealer.

Power steering suddenly stopped working. Same description as the other model years involved in the recall. Electric power steering goes out randomly, replacement part is extremely expensive, and nearly impossible to find available. This truck was this truck was produced in 2016 although model year 2017. Electric power steering is the same for the 13’-16’ model years. 2017 should be included in the recall.

Truck was consuming coolant and you could smell it but can't see a leak then the service electronic throttle control light came on a few weeks later with a code reading P0402. This was a recall and has been replaced but was replaced before they had the proper fix for it. Dropped it off at dodge dealer this morning for further diagnosis.

As of a week ago I was driving and had a message come up on my dash stating that the engine is running hot. After looking I noticed half the coolant was missing, so I added more. A few days later I decided to check and yet again it’s low, shortly later the check engine comes on. I did a check on codes and my sensors are mostly being affected by what’s happening.Fast forward to June 16, 2024 I drive to work after adding more coolant that was down by half. After all this time I never seen a leak but only smelled it in my exhaust. I tried to move the vehicle into the shade and the vehicle won’t turn over

I was involved in an accident where a car pulled out in front of me causing my truck to T-bone them. I estimate I was traveling at 40 mph or so at the time of impact. My airbags did not deploy during this impact. I have never had an issue with the air bag system on this vehicle, but believe the dealership had performed a recall or flashed some software within the last 3 years pertaining to the airbag. I'm not sure if the computer detected the impact and decided not to deploy the airbags, or if they should have deployed and the system was faulty? I am a larger man and am glad the seatbelt restrained me, but am afraid someone with smaller stature, or unable to brace themselves before impact would not have faired as well. As it is, I am on day 4 of neck, back and whole body aches and whiplash which has caused a constant unbearable headache with light and sound sensitivity in the harsh summer that probably could have been lessened had the airbag stopped me?

Hello, I am one of the millions of confused Ram truck owners wondering why there has never been a recall issued on this terrible life threatening issue?! I personally own a 2017 Ram 1500 with the Hemi 5.7 and I have both passenger and drivers side exhaust manifolds making a horrible ticking noise and leaking exhaust fumes that come into the cabin of the truck no matter what you do! It used to be it only ticked at the first start of the day with a slight bit of exhaust fumes and it was only the passenger side ticking and leaking. Now it's both sides ticking that does not go away and exhaust fumes that are just horrible that make you sick. To me THIS IS a life threatening issue because of carbon monoxide poisoning! I bought my truck brand new off the lot and I take very good care of it and to this day it still looks great. This issue should be recalled and be the responsibility of Ram Trucks to repair for the safety of myself and the millions of Ram Truck owners! THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD NOT BE SWEPT UNDER THE RUG!!! Thank you for your time.

The RAM 1500 fuel tank has a vent tube that breaks off and cannot be repaired. The only solution, per the dealer, is to replace the fuel tank and Chrysler does not have any available with no date for restocking them. The issue is the Check Fuel Cap light comes on and when the tank is full, it leaks gasoline (badly). Upon researching the issue, I found many RAM owners have had the same problem which tells me that there is a design flaw in the fuel tank. A fuel tank should last for the life of the vehicle. Please investigate

Air suspension system is having numerous fault codes and operational issues, that have been occurring since January of 2024. The dealer just clears all of the codes and says there is nothing saved in the various modules, but yet I myself have a scanned trouble code listing showing the faults. The truck sometimes will be riding on the frame because the air suspension becomes inoperatable.

Intermittent electric power steering loss. One minute it is easy to turn then the next it is like it is fighting against you and is hard to turn. It happens at slower speeds more often .
