2014 RAM 1500 Complaints

Spoke to dealer, to date, my truck is or has been repaired after an extensive time at the dealership. I was informed that the reporting was done incorrectly and should be updated within the next few months.

Beginning around March 2024: 1) The ABS, Towing, and E-brake dashboard lights stay on; and the Cruise Control stopped working. 2) The brakes and/or transmission locked up when I put the truck in Reverse. It made a noise like it was trying to respond but sort of dropped and locked up and would not move. This has happed a few times intermittently so mechanics have not been able to reproduce the problem. 3) The brakes grabbed to the left, brakes went soft, then I had to push harder. This has happened a few times. 4) My truck is large and heavy so it could really do some damage to other cars and endanger lives. I don’t drive it much for this reason causing me a lot of inconvenience. 5) The dealership and 2 local car repair shops scanned the problem. A lot of codes popped up - including the ABS Module and tire sensors. They said the module was unavailable and under review. They also said tracking down all the causes and completely resolving them would be trial and error as they replaced several parts including the ABS Module and sensors on all 4 tires. I cannot locate the repair shop receipts at present, but 1 shop (Decatur Auto Tech) was $258 on 3/19/2024. Landmark Dodge didn’t charge for the scan on 4/23/2024. They gave me a quote to replace the ABS Module of $1,294.71

ABS, Traction control, and brake light on. DTC code C2200-49 internal electrical error. Part is not available for sale. What are owners to do?

Power steering went out while driving and became real hard to steer luckily was in a straight away

The ABS module has failed. The Dealer gave the part number 68196033AA as being defective and there was a two year backlog on this part.

Front gas tank frame bracket rusted away and gas tank tilted down on front of tank. 2009 through 2012 models recalled for this identical problem. Dealer tells me my 2014 not covered under recall. I have same problem that was recalled two years before.

I filled my ram with gas and a gas tank strap fell through the frame. The frame around the strap failed while the rest of the frame looks to be in good condition.

Driving home from work and in a turn warning light came on dash "Service Power Steering" and the steering wheel became stiff and tool strength to control turn causing me to go into the opposite lane as I was turning. No slip I steering or warning before total loss of power steering.

The electronic power steering failed at random and almost caused me to wreck. I had to pay to tow my car home and now am looking at a $3000 repair on something that’s a known problem with these systems

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving approximately 60 MPH, the power steering malfunctioned, and the steering wheel became difficult to turn in either direction. During the failure, the "Power Steering Failure" message was displayed on the instrument panel. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 180,000.
