2018 RAM 1500 Complaints

AIR SUSPENSION IN THE FRONT GOES DOWN ,REPAIRED AND GOES BAD AGAIN SOON .ITS 6TH TIME BEING REPAIRED WITH ONLY 32000 MILES.

DIESEL ECODIESEL ENGINE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WHILE DRIVING IN MOUNTAINOUS AREA. LOST ALL POWER IMMEDIATELY AND RESULTED IN INTERFERENCE WITH STEERING, BRAKES, AND NEED TO MOVE OFF OF THE ROADWAY TO AVOID OTHER TRAFFIC. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 11,300 MILES, FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING.

RECALL VB!/NHTSA 19V-757 ,WHEN I GOT THIS RECALL A COUPLE MONTHS AGO I WENT TO MY DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN APRIL, CALLED APRIL 16TH AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE A LOT OF VEHICLES ON THE LOTS THAT NEED TO BE FIXED FIRST AND CHECK BACK IN JUNE TO SEE IF THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR MY VEHICLE. WHEN I LOOKUP THE PROBLEMS MANY OF THE SAME VEHICLES LIKE MINE ARE BURNING IN JUST A SHORT TIME. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN A PRIORITY FOR THE DEALER OR MANUFACTURE. I AM NOT DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AS MUCH AS I WANT TO, ALSO NOT ALLOWING MY GRAND CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. LOOKUP ECO DIESEL RAM TRUCKS ON YOUTUBE AND WATCH THEM BURN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THE BACKUP CAMERA AUTOMATICALLY DISPLAYED THE REAR IMAGE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED TO REVERSE HOWEVER, AFTER SHIFTING THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE THE BACKUP CAMERA REMAINED DISPLAYED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CAMERA DISPLAYED FOR AN ADDITIONAL TWENTY MINUTES. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. NEITHER A DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

I NOTICED, SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING TRUCK FROM A USED CAR DEALER WITH 96000 MILES ON IT,THAT THE GAS MILEAGE WAS GETTING WORSE STEADILY( HIGHWAY MILES ).THEN ONE DAY, ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK ,THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR TIRE WAS SMOKING. TOOK IT OVER TO MY MECHANIC AND FOUND OUT MY WHOLE REAR AXLE HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS COST ME ALMOST 5000 DOLLARS

ECODIESEL ENGINE FAILED AT 38,000 MILES. MAIN JOURNAL BEARING ALLOWED CRANKSHAFT TO SLIP. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. EXPERIENCED SEVERE ENGINE SHAKE.

FLASHING DASH LIGHTS TPMS WARNINGS TOOK TRUCK IN AND WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG FEW MONTHS LATER TRUCK CAUGHT ON FIRE IN MY DRIVEWAY,CAUSE WAS UNKNOWN BUT ADJUSTER SAID POSSIBLE WIRING HARNESS, TRUCK WAS PARKED AND NOT RUNNING.*DT *TP

I WAS NOTIFIED OF A RECALL VB1 FOR THE EGR ON MY ECODIESEL, TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 1/18/20 FOR INSPECTION OF THE EGR. WAS INFORMED NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE, NOR WOULD THEY BE AVAILABLE UNTIL AT LEAST THE END OF APRIL. WAS INFORMED TRUCKS THAT USED ANTIFREEZE COOLANT DUE TO CRACKED EGR WOULD GET REPLACED/REPAIRED FIRST. MY TRUCK HAS APPETITE FOR COOLANT, HAVE USED A BIT OVER 2 GALLONS SINCE NEW. YOU CAN SMELL COOLANT, ONE WOULD THINK THERE WAS A LEAK, WAS INFORMED IT WAS THE CRACKED EGR. COOLANT IN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER WILL CAUSE PREMATURE ENGINE FAILURE. MY TRUCK WAS NOT RETURNED TO ME UNTIL 2/25/20 BECAUSE OF OTHER NEEDED WORK. MY FUEL MILEAGE HAS BEEN WELL BELOW THE EPA RATED 27 MPG, IS IT BECAUSE OF THE EGR? I HAD FAMILY EMERGENCY IN CALIF AND I PLANNED TO DRIVE THERE FROM MY HOME HERE IN AK, BUT DEALERSHIP DID NOT RECOMMEND DRIVING THAT FAR BECAUSE OF POSSIBLE ENGINE FAILURE ALONG THE WAY. I TRIED TRADING THE TRUCK FOR ANOTHER ONE, BUT NO DEALERSHIP WILL TAKE A TRUCK IN IN TRADE WITH A OPEN RECALL LIKE THIS! NOT EVEN A RAM DEALERSHIP! I DON'T HAVE ANY OPTIONS EXCEPT WAIT AND NOW THAT THE THE NATION IS HAVING CORONAVIRUS PROBLEMS, HOW MUCH LONGER WILL I WAIT FOR PARTS? THIS DEFECT CAN CAUSE FIRE OR POSSIBLY ACCIDENT DUE TO ENGINE FAILURE

TRUCK LEAKS SOMEWHERE. IT IS IN THE SHOP RIGHT NOW FOR THE 3RD TIME FOR THE LEAK. GOT TOLD IT WAS FIXED 2 TIMES ALREADY AND IT STILL LEAKED. THE TRUCK HAS HEATED BACK SEATS AND THAT'S WHERE THE TRUCK HOLDS WATER, UNDERNEATH THE BACK SEAT STORAGE. I WON'T USE THE HEATED BACK SEATS CAUSE MY CARPET STAYS WET WHEN IT'S RAINING. THERE IS ALSO A SUBWOOFER UNDER THE BACKSEAT WHERE IT HOLDS WATER, IT'S GOTTEN REPLACED ONCE ALREADY FROM THE WATER DAMAGE. AND IT HAS GOTTEN WET AGAIN. THE CARPET GOT REPLACED ONCE, THERE WAS MOLD, AND THE CARPET GOT WET AGAIN SO THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE IT AGAIN CAUSE THERE IS MORE THAN LIKELY MOLD FROM IT HOLDING WATER.
