2015 RAM 1500 Complaints

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact stated that the vehicle was no longer operable and was taken to the dealer. The was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Driving down the interstate at normal speed 60mph. There was a loud pop and white smoke, I pulled over and the drive shaft had broke loose, the u joint broke and cracked my transfer case. Dodge has a very bad problem in these year model with this same issue.

exhaust flange bolts break not rusty. causes to melt and burn def line and injector engine will not restart after 200 miles

...The component that failed is the ABS and traction system, the hitch brake system and the cruise control also stopped working, all this abs and traction system when it stops working can cause the vehicle to not move have correct performance in its braking and skidding system, which can be dangerous, especially in severe rainy and humid climates. I took the car for inspection to the dealer in naplenton in kisiimmee fl and the diagnosis so far is that it has damage to the abs module and the abs pump, which must be replaced and whose price for parts and labor is around 1615 $ with a tendency to increase according to the dealer, so far I only have the diagnosis and quote of the arrangement, since the parts take around 7 days to be available. Yesterday I contacted the FCA inquiring about the warranties of the car on these parts and about an extended warranty that they had offered me in the past tense due to other damages that I had previously in the vehicle with other parts, I did not get a response from FCA about that warranty and The dealer tells me that I do not have any warranties to cover this repair, so I will have to put it out of my pocket. It should be noted that my truck is from 2015 and it is a work vehicle and it only has 54,000 thousand miles, that is, it is a truck that has been given the use and exploitation for which it is designed .... thank you very much

Truck died (stopped) completely crossing a highway and couldn't move it from oncoming traffic without disabling electronic gear shift manually. No prior indication that there was an issue. It just stalled.

The contact owned a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, her husband experienced a medical emergency causing the vehicle to lose control and crash into a tree. During the incident, the speed at impact was approximately 50 mph. During the crash, the vehicle was destroyed but the driver-side front air bag did not deploy. The husband sustained head trauma, chest trauma, and a lacerated left leg. A police report was taken at the scene. The vehicle was towed away. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified. The failure mileage was 60,000.

Driving on interstate 65 mph there was a sudden loud grinding sound from under my truck. I pulled over and found my gas tank hanging . I was able to slowly get to and area where i could safely see what happened after looking at gas tank i found that the front gas strap rusted threw the frame and the full gas tank fell down and was hitting the drive shaft. I was able to jack up the tank and put a strap around it and drive home 183 miles . I was lucky it did not hit the road as the tank was full of gas.

Went to go start the truck one morning and when I got in the truck as soon as I exceeded over 7 MPH it says to service the ABS system and the trailer brake system. I turned off the truck and started it again and it said the system was reporting fine. As soon as I went over 7 MPH again it said to service the abs again. I feel this may be a safety issue because it’s a component that’s needed for every vehicle like mines in the event I need to brake hard to avoid an accident. I can’t have the system say there’s an issue and say it’s ok the next time I start the vehicle.

Failed to repair recall, recently received letter in mail stating recalled airbags are in stock and they failed to install them stating that they didn't have the parts and were unable to install them.

The exhaust manifold screws are broken causing damage to the entire manifold. This is a common issue with Rams known as the “hemi tick” which results in the lifters ticking do to a a design flaw that doesn’t allow oil to properly lubricate the reservoir.
