2016 RAM 1500 Complaints

My ABS/Brake/Traction alarm is lit up on my 2016 Dodge Ram 1500 Big Horn (99.5k miles) and I was notified that the part is not available from Mopar/Dodge. It has been checked out by Firestone and confirmed by them that the part is not available.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 65 MPH and making a turn, the vehicle lost power steering functionality. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact forcefully steered the steering wheel, and the vehicle regained power steering functionality shortly afterward. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring while driving and occurred increasingly while driving at slow speeds. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V167000 (Steering). The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 61,000.

Electronic braking system, traction control system and cruise control are non-operational. This problem affects all vehicles travelling on the road with me. The problem has been confirmed and diagnosed by a dealer. Warning lights on the dashboard are constant, along with "service electronic braking system" on engine start-up. This fault started in November, 2023. The dealership is unable to procure a replacement ABS module. Why is this not a recall issue? This fault prevents the vehicle from passing inspection.

No one has ever fixed my recalls but it says it was done. I’m am getting the occupant light and having electric problems. Also there is leaking around the top break light causing it to leak inside

My electric power steering quits all of the sudden while I'm driving. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. This is a big concern for me considering I have a wife and child who drive with a lot.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 65 MPH, the ABS, TPMS, trailer brake control unit, and traction control warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the ABS module needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but the part to repair the vehicle was on backorder. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

ABS module is not communicating with the vehicle which is a known issue with Ram 1500. No repair parts are available and have not been available from Ram in over a year.

The contact owns a 2016 RAM 1500. The contact discovered the NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V757000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) and the contact was informed that the recall was repaired, however, the failure recurred. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle lost acceleration and there was smoke coming from the engine. The low oil pressure and service throttle control warning lights illuminated. The contact pulled the vehicle to the side of the road and when the hood was lifted the engine was on fire. The contact extinguished the fire with a fire extinguisher at the scene. No fire department was contacted. No police report was filed. No injuries were sustained. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The contact was a certified mechanic and diagnosed the vehicle with ERG failure and a melted hole through the intake manifold. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 156,000.

The Antilock Braking System (ABS) warning light illuminated in approx December 2023, and I took it to the dealership. The dealership service center confirmed that the ABS Module is bad, and requires replacement. The component is still under warranty, so the dealership ordered the module. The dealership stated in December that the component is "on backorder," but should be available by March 2024. It is now April 2024 and I just checked with both the dealership and RAM headquarters, and still no ETA on the part (still on "backorder"). This IS THE BRAKING system! If RAM wanted to do anything about it they could (take parts of a new vehicle, pay more to have one built, etc), but they're doing NOTHING. Again, this isn't AC or the radio... it's brakes, a safety issue. Please help. Thank you.
