2014 RAM 1500 Complaints

TWO YEARS AGO MY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR WENT BAD AND STOPPED READING MY GAS LEVEL. I HAD TO ORDER A NEW SENSOR ,FROM THE DEALER. WHICH COMES WITH A FUEL PUMP AND HAVE MY GAS TANK DROPPED TO REPLACE. THE PART HAS A ONE YEAR WARRANTY AND THE TOTAL COST IS APPR $900 TO FIX. NOW SIX MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY, THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED. MY GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AND ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. A DIAGNOSTIC READER POINTS TO MY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. I CHECKED YOUTUBE AND RAM FORUMS TO SEE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT RAM REFUSES TO ADDRESS. CAN WE GET JUSTICE HERE?

EPS Rack and pinion failure, While driving home my steering lost all power steering, luckily I was abilie to keep it on the road and slow down to pull off the road way if i were at highway speeds I don't believe i would have been able to keep from having an accident where i had to have it towed back to my house because it was undrivable and im glad my wife was not driving at the time because she would not have been abilie to safe it from have an accident. the truck is Available for inspection YES Mine and my Family safety was both put at risk do to almost have an accident running off the road The truck has not been inspected There where NO warning lights or other messages, the only appeared after the Near accident a small red steering wheel flash on the dash and a EPS Steering message in the display.

No accident has happened but I have had the Anti-lock brake module go bad in my truck and it has disabled cruise control, anti-lock brakes and traction control. So basically just old fashion standard braking is all that is working. Took it to the dealership and they told me the part is on hold by Ram for review by their engineers. So I called Ram directly and they said it is under review but they could expedite the part for me. I see there is a law suit pending for the 2017-2018 Ram 2500 and 2017-2018 Ram 3500 but not any other years. After doing some further research online and using an ODB reader I see that this is actually a very common issue even with my year and model. Even at the dealership when I started to explain the issue, they stopped my and told me exactly what it was and that they have seen it many times. I believe because of the number of issues being registered online and in dealerships that this should be a safety recall, especially because we are talking about braking. I will attach photos.

Service Electronic Braking System warning on the EVIC comes on, no cruise control, not sure if anti-lock brakes will work properly and various other items won't work. Huge problem with 4th Generation RAM Owners.

On Monday I was on my way to work when my ABS Light, Traction Control Light, and Parking Brake Light all came on at the same time and a message on the dash that said “Service ABS System”. I took my truck to the dealership on 12-Sep for them to look at it. The dealership advised my ABS Control Module failed and needs to be replaced but they cannot get one until April of 2024. When I asked about the safety of driving the vehicle, I was advised the vehicle can be driven but I need to be very cautious while driving because I have no anti-lock brakes until the part is replaced. I travel on the interstate daily for my kids school and to work for 45-60 minutes in each direction during rush hour traffic. Not having anti-lock brakes makes me concerned my safety, the safety of my kids, and the safety of anyone around me should I have to slam on brakes in an emergency.

Front fuel tank T strap has become corroded and detached from bracket causing fuel tank to hang down low in front and shakes while driving. Recall #18v-160 pertains to this specific issue for people like myself who live in salt belt BUT it only includes ram 1500’s up to year 2012 however 2013-2014 rams have this same exact T strap as the one recalled. This is a huge safety issue as it could cause a fire. I should not have to pay for this repair when Chrysler knows it’s a faulty part. I don’t understand why that recall wouldn’t cover 2014 ram 1500’s when it’s exactly the same as the 2012 covered ram 1500’s.

problems with the heating coolant temperature regulation sometimes not heating at all or cooling too much. Check engine light came on and coded that toe coolant bypass valve was the issue. This has since been replaced 4 times over the last two years . The wiring was checked and working. The mechanic (not Dodge) stated that there was a software update needed that had to come from the manufacturer yet the Dodge dealer will not acknowledge this. Technical Service Bulletin [XXX] . INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving approximately 25 MPH, the vehicle lost power steering functionality, requiring excessive force while maneuvering the vehicle. The contact stated that a red steering symbol with an exclamation point was displayed on the instrument cluster. The vehicle had now become inoperable. The contact had not taken the vehicle to the dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.

Loss of power steering randomly while driving and very hard to turn vehicle. Very dangerous and risks safety of myself and others because steering wheel locks up and does not want to turn while driving. I don’t feel safe driving it like this. Local shop said it is the electric power steering issue. No warning lights.

Instrument cluster screen flickered dim and light for several months. Instrument cluster is now completely white showing a blank screen.
