2015 RAM 1500 Complaints

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 40 - 70 MPH, the tailgate failed to function as needed. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 54,000.

Front Tank strap holder on frame failed. The front of the tank fell down and ripped the hoses and cracked fuel filter cover. The vehicle was running and spilled several gallons of fuel on the ground.

Observed several instances of the OEM air suspension system becoming disabled due to cold temperatures. Vehicle would fail to adjust ride height to normal, DIC woukd display message AIR SUSPENSION NOT AVAILABLE and would ride as if vehicle has no suspension. Any attempt to adjust would display message SELECTED REIGJT HEIGHT UNAVAILABLE. On ice packed roads and bridges, the pickup would tend to wander after going over the bumps and uneven icy areas, at one point this evening putting the pickup into a mild fish-tail. Contacted a personal friend that is a mechanic at local Ram dealer and was told this is a well known problem with the Ram 1500 air suspension and is not a recalled item. I believe that as suspension is a key component for vehicle safety and handling, the NHSTA ought to mandate FCA to correct the issue through a comprehensive recall.

On occasions too numerous to list the engine suddenly loses power. This has been very, very dangerous, especially on the interstates. The recall on the fuel pump was issued in June and 5+ months later still no solution. How much longer am I supposed to drive this dangerous vehicle?

Driving approximately 80 mph on the interstate when the truck completely shut off-total power failure. I was lucky and able to pull off, once I took the key out the truck started. Took to the dealer who stated they couldn’t duplicate the issue. 6 months later driving on side street same issue, truck shut down while driving with complete power failure. Reported issue to dealer who said call Fiat Chrysler. Spoke to Fiat Chrysler stated no fix currently available, no rental car or loaner would be provided despite this truck being unsafe to drive.

The issue described in NHTSA campaign 18V160000 is still present in model years later than currently covered. My 2015 truck has this same issue caused by the same defect. Noise was noticed while on daily commute on interstate, traveling approx 65 MPH. Upon inspection T slot bracket for the front fuel strap was corroded causing the fuel tank strap to fall out. Fuel tank was hanging by back strap only, did not contact the roadway, and the loose strap was making contact with the driveshaft.
