2014 RAM 1500 Complaints

I was driving back home after a long day of work, but I stopped at the gas station first. After putting gas.I started to pull out of the gas station, when the truck suddenly turned off. I turned it on again and a couple miles ahead it started to loss speed. I was going 65 suddenly went down to 40 20 started to stall had to exit the fwy before it stopped. Auto shop say it's the engine. Cost to repair $8,000.00.

Regarding [XXX] . I made an appointment to get the Important Safety Recall for the High Pressure Fuel Pump repaired. When I took the vehicle in for the repair on [XXX] I was informed that they did not have the part and they had been waiting a year for parts. Why I wasn't informed of this when I made the appointment is beyond me. If this Safety Recall is so important why is this dealership unable to obtain the parts? This is unacceptable and needs to be rectified for safety of the traveling public. The dealership in question is SHOTTENKIRK CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 4970 E. Highway 377, Granbury, TX 76049. Phone (817) 279-1500. Thank you for your attention to this matter. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Vehicle was sitting in garage. Started vehicle and dash warning for power steering illuminated and no power steering is available.

The power steering completely failed. Yes! It is available for inspection! If this had occurred during highway speeds (80 mph here) ... OMG! No, the vehicle is not drivable (no steering) so it has not been inspected by anyone but me. The vehicle was fine the day before. This apparently happened while it was turned off overnight. The red steering wheel with the exclamation point is flashing and it cannot be steered at all.

Fuel Level Sensor A Circuit - P0463. Yes, available for inspection. The Fuel level sensor cuts out and stops reporting fuel levels. This can lead to running out of gas on the highway or other dangerous situations that put the driver and others at risk. Also, the computer monitors stop reporting, therefore other aspects of the vehicle are compromised when the fuel level sensor stops working. The dealer confirms this is a common problem on this vehicle. Yes the vehicle was inspected by the dealer. The warning lamp check engine light comes on when the system fails. there is no prior warning.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH, the vehicle drove over a bump and heard an abnormal scraping sound coming from the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. Upon inspection of the vehicle, the contact discovered that the front fuel tank strap pulled through the frame and began to rub against the driveshaft. As a result of the failure, the fuel tank started to hang off the vehicle. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 171,000.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving at approximately 60 MPH, the steering wheel seized. The contact was able to pull to the shoulder of the roadway. The Service Power Steering System warning light was illuminated. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle, and the power steering functionality returned; however, the failure recurred when the contact arrived at the residence. The vehicle was hauled to the local dealer; where it was diagnosed that there was rodent damage on the wiring of the steering rack, and the Power Steering rack needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 125,077.

I have a 2014 Dodge Ram 1500. I share the same problem as thousands of other Ram owners who have a faulty ABS module in their trucks. They are not under recall, Ram/Dodge/Stellantis could not be bothered to dig further into the problem. They have discontinued the part (68228991AD) and similar cross reference part numbers. My ABS doesn't engage and when someone uses an unsafe driving maneuver in the middle of the interstate and I have to slam the brakes, my truck goes into "limp" mode and the ABS doesn't function properly. Someone is going to die if Stellantis doesn't address the issue from their faulty parts. I called several dealerships who say they don't have the part, and that they do not expect to get anymore due to discontinuation of the part. After doing some research online, it appears that thousand of vehicles with that part from 2014-2016 are affected. Please help us take action and hold the auto brand accountable for negligent handling of a manufacturer issue not replacing or providing solution for parts that are critical to driver's safety.

Power steering assist quit working while on the interstate. The steering wheel was extremely hard to turn and indicator light came on. The light was a red steering wheel with red exclamation next to it. I was able to safely pull over. I shut the truck off and looked to see if any fluid was leaking. Did not see any indication of fluid loss. Restarted the truck and steering worked normal. The same thing happened just as I was entering my driveway. I restarted the vehicle multiple times after that, and the red steering wheel indicator flashes immediately. Power steering has been completely lost. This all happened in the same day. I am very thankful that I was driving in a straight line at the moment of steering loss. I am not sure I would have been to avoid an accident if I were on a turn during that moment.

Turned on vehicle and had complete loss of power steering. No previous issues of this. Unable to get power steering to reset or return to vehicle.
