2015 RAM 1500 Complaints

MY VEHICLE HAS SUFFERED BOTH MAJOR SAFETY RECALLS, ONCE WHERE I WAS WITH MY SON AFTER PICKING HIM UP FROM SCHOOL ON A HIGHWAY THE EGR CANISTER SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUSTED CAUSING MAJOR DAMAGE THAT FCA SAID WAS NOT A MANUFACTURER ISSUE BUT A AFTER MY INSURANCE REPAIRED MY VEHICLE THEY MADE THE RECALL FOR THE FIRES. AFTER 3 WEEKS WITH ME VEHICLE FROM REPAIR THE ENGINE STALLED OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT ON A HIGHWAY, I HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP AND AFTER THE INSPECTION WAS TOLD THAT THE TONE WHEEL WAS BROKEN AND THAT IT HAD CAUSED DAMAGE THAT WOULD REQUIRE A NEW ENGINE. I PAID CLOSE TO $7,000 DOLLARS TO HAVE THE ENGINE REPLACED BECAUSE OF THIS. A FEW MONTHS LATER FCA ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE TONE WHEEL PROBLEM THE TECH AT THE DEALERSHIP WROTE THIS IN HIS NOTES.

FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CONTINUES TO STOP WORKING CAUSING MY ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. I AM NOT AWARE IF I WILL RUN OUT OF GAS OR NOT. THIS REPAIR PROCESS IS WELL OVER $700 UNLESS I DO MYSELF WHICH I DONT HAVE TTE EQUIPMENT TO TAKE MY BED OFF MY TRUCK. THAT IS EVEN MORE DANGEROUS WHEN THIS IS A FAULTY PART ON DODGES PART. FOR THE COST OF HTESE TRUCKS THESE NEED TO BE PART OF A RECALL.

DODGE RAM 1500 ECO DIESEL 2015 LOSS OF CRANKSHAFT POSITION AND RING TONE WHEEL ! HAD A RECALL W58 TO FIX CRANKSHAFT POSITION WHICH NOW DAMAGED THE RING SENSOR WHEEL! RECALL WAS DONE MARCH 9, 2021, APRIL 5TH TRUCK STALLED IN DRIVEWAY AND WOULD NOT START ! HAD TO TOW TO DEALERSHIP! DODGE STILL HAS NOT RECEIVED THE FIX AND WANTS US TO PAY THE $2000 BILL ! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE SINCE THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED ONE THING THAT AFFECTED THE RING MAGNETIC MATERIAL ! RECALL W58 SPECIFICALLY STATED THAT 'THE TONE MATERIAL ATTACHED TO THE TONE WHEEL ON YOUR VEHICLE PROVIDES A SIGNAL TO THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR'. THERE IS ANOTHER RECALL THAT WE DID NOT GET W68 THAT SUPPOSEDLY ADDRESSES THE RING! WHY ARE WE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL ????? WE COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WHEN THE TRUCK STALLED ! !!!

PASSANGE SIDE WIND SHIELD WIPER MORTOR IS MOVING BE ITS GOTTEN SCRAPPED OFF SO IT'S LOOSE AND IT CANE GO BACK IN BECAUSE IT GOTTEN SCRAPPED OFF.

TRAVELED APPR. 1/2 MILE, 30 MPH ENGINE LOST POWER, RATTLED AND CLANKED LIKE TIMING WAS OFF WOULD HARDLY MOVE- STALLED ME ON BUSY 2 LANE HWY. TRANSMISSION KNOB LOCKED UP, ERRORS READING ADJUST TRAILER BRAKE SLIDER- NO TRAILER CONNECTED TO ME. TRIED ADJUSTING, ALLOWED ME TO PUT IN PARK, COULD NOT GET BACK OUT OF PARK, WOULD NOT LET ME SHUT OF ENGINE. IT WAS TOTALLY STALLED, BUT RUNNING LIKE A CLANKY TRAIN- FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GET TRUCK IN REVERSE AND BACK INTO DRIVE 500 FEET BEHIND ME. HAD NO POWER STEERING AT ALL. ENGINE WAS LOPING SO BAD IT FELT LIKE I HAD A FLAT TIRE. GOT THE TRUCK IN DRIVE - STILL LIMITED POWER, NO POWER STEERING. GOT TRUCK UP TO HOUSE SAFELY OFF ROAD- YELLOW ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I WAS ABLE TO GET TRUCK IN PARK ON SELECTOR KNOB. SHUT TRUCK OFF. CALLED TO MAKE AN APPT. TO GET TRUCK IN. TRIED TO START TRUCK AND WOULD TURN OVER BUT WILL NOT START. I GOT NOTICE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO OF LOSS OF CRANK POSITION. I CALLED LARSON DODGE TO GET IT FIXED AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE INFO ON HOW TO FIX IT YET, TO CALL BACK AFTER FIRST OF YEAR. SO HERE I AM. IT IS VERY SCARY TO PULL ONTO MAIN 2 LANE HWY AND TOTALLY LOSE POWER AND CONTROL ALL AT THE SAME TIME. NO SHOULDER ON ROAD, CAN NOT EXPLAIN THE FEELING BUT IT IS AN AWFUL FEELING TO BE IN MOTION AND LOSE ALL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS DEFINITELY IS DANGEROUS AND EASILY PEOPLE COULD DIE FROM IT IF IT HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY OR ANY BUSY ROAD. PLEASE PEOPLE BE AWARE OF THIS. THIS FAULTY SITUATION COULD EASILY COST YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES AND OR COMPLETE STRANGERS THEIR LIVES. NOT SO MUCH BY THE VEHICLE ITSELF, BUT BY LOSING POWER AND CONTROL, YOU CAN EASILY GET SLAMMED INTO. I WAS JUST WAITING TO GET HIT, BUT A VERY AWARE SEMI TRUCK DRIVER SAW I WAS IN TROUBLE AND STOPPED BEFORE THE OPENING OF THE DRIVE TO ALLOW ME TO BACK UP INTO IT. I COULD NOT GO FORWARD. THE CONTROL KNOB WOULD NOT LET ME PUT IT IN DRIVE.

AFTER GETTING THE FCA EMISSIONS MODIFICATION PUSHED OUT BY RAM/FIAT, I HAVE LOST ABOUT 20-25% GAS MILEAGE AND POWER IN THE TRUCK. THE MODIFICATION HAS RUINED A GREAT TRUCK. TRUCK IS NOW DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF A LAG AND LACK OF POWER. MOD WAS INSTALLED IN SUMMER OF 2019 AND TRUCK IS NOW RUINED.

PART # 68105583AF OIL FILTER HOUSING HAS GONE BAD IN OVER 58,000 DODGE RAM VEHICLES AND ARE ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER

I HAVE HAD TWO PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE. THE FIRST IS THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL INTERMEDIATELY WORKS AND THEN DOESN'T AT TIMES. THE SECOND, IS THAT THE POWER STEERING INTERMEDIATELY WORKS AND THEN SUDDENLY WILL GO OUT IN MIDDLE OF A TURN. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE HOOKED HIS SCANNER TO IT AND ALTHOUGH THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON, HE RESET THE COMPUTER IN THE VEHICLE. THIS ACTION WORKED FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR AND THE THEN THE ISSUE WITH THE POWER STEERING RETURNED. I'VE LOOKED UP RECALLS ON BOTH THESE ISSUES AND HAVE NOTICED THERE ARE RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THESE PROBLEMS WITH RAM 1500, HOWEVER MINE IS NOT LISTED. I BELIEVE THEY NEED TO BROADEN THEIR RECALL ACTIONS BEFORE SOMEONE LOOSES THEIR LIFE DUE TO MECHANICAL FAILURE.
