2015 RAM 1500 Complaints

I have observed that the headlights and fog lights flicker about every 1 minute while driving. Nothing running in the cab that would affect the voltage or amps to draw to cause this. I have read several online threads of dozens if not hundreds of others having the same issue with no solution or any dealership to help.

Started have a ticking sound coming from engine compartment that will go away when truck runs & heats up. Now getting exhaust fumes in the passenger compartment that goes away also then the ticking stops. Learned that this is a very frequent issue with the Dodge Ram 1500's Manifold bolts braking and the heat shield vibrating and along with exhaust leak. i can't comprehend why this wouldn't be a recall issue due to the harmful exhaust fumes in the passenger compartment. this issue need to be looked into, and research shows there have been an extensive amount of complaints which have not corrected the issue..looking for next steps to take to get this done

The contact owns a 2015 RAM 1500. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked with her sitting in the passenger’s side seat, the transmission inadvertently shifted into drive and the vehicle began to rollaway. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact shifted the vehicle into park and the vehicle stopped. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact referenced NHTSA Action Number: PE16014. The contact stated that while she was preparing to make a turn from a complete stop, the steering wheel inadvertently lost power steering functionality. The power steering warning light was illuminated. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle and the vehicle regained power steering functionality. The contact continued to drive the vehicle. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that they could not assist because the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V167000 (Steering). The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA for assistance. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

The abs module is throwing lights which then of course disables my cruise control. Also with no antilock brakes it definitely puts not only myself but others at risk in the case I have to stop quickly or on lwet/slick roads. We have had it to a shop and have a quoted price of 2500 to fix. I had no problems whatsoever with this until I started the truck one morning and the lights came on. Upon further research I have seen this is a problem with alot of Dodge trucks which leads me to believe that we need to revisit the part.

Power Steering Assist is random. The steering is difficulty randomly changes between easy to difficult causing unexpected steering changes. This Electronic Power Steering (EPS) unit is NOT part of a similar recall (NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V167000); however, the symptoms are identical. This EPS unit serial number is TIC3394C5021

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving and attempting to accelerate to pass another vehicle, the vehicle went into limp mode. The vehicle was shaking and shifting gears erratically. The driver was able to decelerate to avoid an accident. The engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where the contact was informed that the vehicle was working as designed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

Recall 16v-167 has been issued. However, my ram has the exact power steering problems of intermittently locking up while driving at 65,000 miles. The vin spectrum is not broad enough.

The service air suspension display comes on and instantly goes out with no stored codes according to dealership. While driving the rear air bags dump (deflate) completely empty. There has been times where this has happened at 70 MPH other times it has happened at 35-55 MPH. This causes the truck to bounce violently and have sway side to side when going over bridges and bumps. When I took it to dealership I was told they could not duplicate the issue, even after having it for 3-4 weeks. Again this doesn’t happen all of the time day in day out, it’s random for no apparent reason. This is a huge safety issue not just for me and my family but everyone on the road. Sometimes if you stop at a light or along the road it will air back up to normal ride height but on 12/18/2021 it would not air up.

The tailgate fell open while I was driving December 1, 2021. I had closed the tailgate before pulling onto the roadway. I noticed a thump & stopped to check what had caused the noise. This had happened several weeks before & I thought maybe I had not closed the tailgate properly. This problem was supposed to have been fixed in a previous recall. Why would this happen again?
