2013 RAM 1500 Complaints

1. Air Ride Suspension Compressor and Air Bags keep going out. Yes it is available to inspect. 2. As i was riding coming from 4 hrs away from my home rear air suspension bag went as I was on Interstate 75 at a speed of 63 miles an hr, rear started swaying. 3. Independent Repair Service 4. No 5. An Air Suspension Service light came on then went out only saw it once maybe 3 months prior to the air bags malfunctioned As I have been reading up on this, it is a Popular issue with Ram 1500.

Complete loss of power steering, service centers have stated the Electric Power Steering unit went bad, but there are currently no parts available for the repair with the exception of a rare after-market part that cost double the standard cost. trcu has been sitting for months waiting for parts.

The power steering failed without warning while I was pulling into my driveway and I could no longer turn the steering wheel. I was completely surprised by this and ended up driving about 10 feet into my front yard grass before slamming on the brakes and coming to a stop. Kids often play in this area of my yard...this could have ended tragically. My vehicle was towed to a repair shop where it was confirmed that the power steering system failed and had to be replaced. Only the repair shop has inspected the faulty power steering system, but I did take pictures of it when I picked up the vehicle. There was no warning light prior to the failure but, Immediately afterwards, a light and message indicating "SERVICE POWER STEERING" came on in my in-dash display. I keep my vehicle well maintained and with only 90,000 miles, this failure was inexcusably premature.

The contact owns a 2013 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 MPH and ascending a hill, the engine misfired with the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact stated that occasionally the front end of the vehicle was shaking and vibrating while the vehicle lost motive power. The contact arrived at his destination and used an ODB scanner to retrieve DTC codes: P0303 (Cylinder #3 misfire), P0300 (Random misfire), and P219A (Engine Unbalanced). The contact stated that the failure had become a recurring failure. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the cam shaft needed to be replaced on the right side of the engine. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 128,000.

ABS brake Module was diagnosed by the dealership as having a short. I have random brake failure (no accidents to date), speedometer gauge does not work, odometer does not work, cruise control does not work, parking sensors do not work. Dealership told me that a replacement is not available until March of 2024.

Electronic power steering rack disabled while driving in parking lot which made it very difficult to steer into a safe area. Part has been replaced by qualified auto repair shop but was told that the current recall for this part, while being the same part, was not covered for year 2013 only 2015 and newer. There was a red steering wheel illuminated on the dash as soon as the power steering disabled.

First intermittent, then full loss of power steering when driving. This is a common problem with 2013-2016 ram trucks and should be recalled for safety reasons

Electronic Power Steering died. Could not turn steering wheel. I was just informed by repair shop that the steering control module and rack/pinion will have to be replaced at a cost of $3,600. No warning lights prior to the failure. Service center has ordered the parts and I am having them installed next week so I don't have a receipt for repairs yet.

While driving on the highway may power steering stopped working. I didnt know it stopped working until I started to steer to stay in the lane. This could have been a major problem if I needed to move suddenly and couldn't. I found on the electric power steering has been a problem in these. I had no warning, no alert, nothing. Just felt it and then noticed the warning light on the dash. I pulled over and took off the negative cable. This reset it and it continued to work for about 15 miles and it did it again. Now its like that all the time. I am starting to work the problem to figure out what is exactly wrong with it.

I was driving home from the grocery store my trucked started jerking to the right and I lost all power steering the safety light came on. I lost control of the truck pulling into driveway and took out my mailbox due to the power steering failure. This had not been a previous issue and it just occurred while driving
