2014 RAM 1500 Complaints

My ABS module and TCS light has been on for several years. I have taken it to the dealer multiple time to have it repaired, only to be told it is on back order. This has been going on for over two years. I have a life time warranty through Chrysler as long as I own the truck. Since the warning lights have been on I have had many instances where my truck has lost control and slipped on the highway most of the time in rain. I have also had my truck lock up once, when a person made a right turn into my lane in front of me, forcing me to hit the breaks. My truck skid through the intersection and almost rear ended the vehicle. I avoid traveling with my family in the truck now.

My truck has 57,000 miles it's a 2014 ram 1500 and overnight the power steering unit failed. Replacement part from mopar is $2,100. Luckily I wasn't driving when this happened but there were no early signs of failure. Tried to go to work and couldn't drive the vehicle because the electric power steering unit had an internal software failure and is not driveable

The Horn and all push buttons on the steering wheel except for the cruise control on/off no longer work. The vehicle was subject to a recall for the same problem. The vehicle was supposedly repaired, but again the problem has come back. I believe the repair was either not performed or was done poorly due to the problem coming back.

The electrical power steering has failed for seemingly no reason. Multiple people have reported this issue and it’s a very expensive repair

Gas tank strap bracket. Gas tank strap bracket rusted off the frame and tank was hanging off. Went to closest shop where he identified the problem and fixed it ($1431.00). This is a know problem and a letter stating that the warranty period for the “tank strap mounting” was extended. We sent the bill to FCA US LLC customer Center and they refused to cover the cost.

This truck has many issues including emmissions problems thst cussed the truck to go into limp mode related to the boost sensors. This happened to me 3 times on the freeway when the truck flashes service electronic throttle control and power is reduced. On October 28th I was driving the truck on 55 mph roads. As I came to a 45 mph road, the engine started knocking. As I got into stop and go traffic the oil pressure started dropping to 0 and back to normal and the knock got louder. I had the truck towed into the dealership where they verbally quoted me over $24,000 for a new motor. The truck had just over 118,000 miles on it. They stated none of the repairs would be covered by the extended emissions warranty. The dealership then allowed me trade the truck in for less than the value ($16,000) causing extra thousands of dollars to be spent instead of repair. The dealership stated it would be an auction truck. On 11/6 I found that the truck had been listed on the dealerships website for $21,325. There is no mention of the repair or defects on the truck and that price is less than what I was quoted for a motor replacement.

Electric power steering failure. Very common according to internet research and nothing has been done to recall this issue
