22V-406 high pressure fuel pump ("HPFP") safty recall not completed as of Oct 7th 2024 vehicle had unexpected loss of motive power 20V-475 loss of crankshaft position I have loss of crankshaft position resulted in engine stall, as well as loss of the ability to restart the engine 19V-757 Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) i have Coolant loss, coolant color Turing brown/black, major build up of soot buildup in intake manifold and EGR. Driving and vehicle lost all power fuel light came on, throttle control light came on, low oil light came on, speed dropped to 5mph when I was doing 55mph. Was able to coast vehicle off the road almost getting hit from behind by a semi truck. Dodge Dealership sold me truck November 2023 and said there was NO safty recalls open or uncompleted. But as I am now finding out the recall for the high pressure fuel pump was infact OPEN and uncompleted dealership even singed a document stating this vehicle has no recalls. Dealership says recalls 20V-475 and 19V-757 have already been done but getting the same issues as to why the recalls where issued. Now my vehicle has been at the dealership for a month and has yet to even be looked at and the dealership and Dodge refuse to provide a loaner vehicle and tell me to go rent one. I can't afford to rent a car it's over $300 a week without rental car insurance. I'm on limited income disabled veteran I have attempted to contact dodge ram corporate office and only get people that are overseas at a call center that provide no help and refuse to have someone at dodge ram corporate contact me Would provide photos of everything but unable to get the vehicle due to its in the back yard of the dealership.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated while cold starting the vehicle, the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact smelled an abnormal burning odor and observed white smoke coming from the exhaust pipe. The contact stated that while stopped at a traffic light, when the light turned green, the accelerator pedal was depressed, and the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that an independent road service mechanic stopped and scanned the vehicle and informed the contact that the crankshaft position sensor tone wheel had failed and referred the contact to a dealer for assistance. The contact had the vehicle towed to the residence. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed and was not repaired. The contact had researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V411000 (Engine and Engine Cooling); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 127,000.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that on several occasions while starting the vehicle, there was an abnormally loud ticking sound coming from the engine. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times and the exhaust manifold bolts were replaced under warranty. The contact stated that since owning the vehicle, the bolts had been replaced almost every two years. Recently, the failure reoccurred; however, the contact was informed by the dealer that the warranty had expired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

I was driving on the highway when my power steering went completely out. I had no warning and had no idea what was happening. I could not steer my vehicle. There were other drivers all around me and they all had to avoid my truck. I gradually slowed down and was able to pull it off to the shoulder, almost getting in multiple accidents on the way. I called the closest dealer and they said it was a failure of the electrical power steering system. I was able to get my truck to the dealership. They inspected the truck and they said the part that failed was the power steering rack (Part #68628858AA) and that there was no recall for this system. My truck has now been in the shop for over two weeks and the dealership says this part is on backorder (Which is a clear indication that there is a bigger issue with this part). After doing some online research, I found there have been numerous reports of power steering issues and recalls for 2013-2016 Dodge Ram 1500s which makes me question why my vehicle wasn't included. This was a terrifying situation and I think this requires the attention of the NHTSA.

When driving the vehicle at 35 mph the vehicle jerks locks the wheels up and the vehicle revs up for a few seconds before returning to normal operational rpms. My vehicle has did this numerous times. Took it to dealership and been there for 2 months and said it was fixed the next day the vehicle did the same thing. Been an on-going issue for a year

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while her husband was driving approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. The vehicle was towed to the residence and later restarted and driven to the local dealer who diagnosed that the tone wheel and crankshaft position sensor had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The contact was informed that the VIN was not included in the NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V411000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 120,000.

ABS Module failed triggering BRAKE light service and ABS Service light, and the ESB light. 6 month + and counting to get this OEM module. Why are you not addressing the supply chain issue......

Driving on the highway and power steering failed. Almost got into an accident pulling off the highway. Power steering failure light came on the dashboard. Dealer told me the recall had nothing to do with my VIN. There was no accident to cause the problem. The truck is in overall great condition. I think there are many Ram 1500 trucks out there that fall under the 2016 power steering recall and mine is one of them. Quoted out $3,000 and no sign of a power steering rack available for who knows how long. Very discouraged and taken advantage of.

Service ABS Brake, Service Electronic Brake Throttle, Service Electronic Trailer Brake & Standard Brake dash lights are illuminated at all times. I have no Anti Lock Braking & Sway /Stability Control Light is on and I have No Stability nor anti sway control. This disrupts the Cruise Control from working. It has been confirmed by a local trusted mechanic shop. The Warning Lights have been on since June 2024. This is dangerous especially in rain and wet conditions. The truck has no traction control and fish tails at the slightest turn during acceleration.

Intermittent issue with power steering where the wheel becomes extremely hard to turn in both directions. Also have had issue where wheel will stop turning midway through a turn and when trying to return to center.
