THE SPARE TIRE MOUNT WORE OUT AT 91K MILES. MOPAR REFUSES TO REPAIR THE ITEM DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY ACKNOWLEDGE IT IS BOTH A SAFETY HAZARD AND A NON-WEARABLE ITEM.

THE ENGINE HAS A TICKING NOISE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE. IT STARTS OFF VERY LOUD, THEN SMOOTHED OUT WHILE IDLING. IF DRIVING AND ACCELERATING THE TICKING IS LOUD ENOUGH TO HEAR IT INSIDE THE TRUCK. IT IS GETTING LOUDER AND LOUDER. I HAVE SERVICE DONE REGULARLY BUT CANNOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. HAS THIS HAPPENED WITH OTHER SIMILAR TRUCKS? THE TRUCK IS IN PERFECT CONDITION MINUS THIS TICK? ANY SUGGESTIONS?

COMPLAINT INVOLVING POWER STEERING: ON JUNE 16TH WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO HEAD HOME FROM A RESTAURANT THE CAR GAVE ME A POWER STEERING ERROR AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULDN'T MOVE. I HAD TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND START IT BACK UP FOR IT TO GO AWAY. I MADE IT HOME THAT NIGHT BUT THE NEXT MORNING WHEN I WAS LEAVING TO WORK IN THE MORNING IT GAVE ME THE SAME ERROR AND I WASN'T ABLE TO GET THE CODE TO GO AWAY NOR DRIVE THE CAR. SINCE I COULDN'T TAKE THE CHANCE OF IT HAPPENING WHILE I'M OUT OF TOWN WORKING. I HAVEN'T BEEN USING THE TRUCK. THIS ALSO HAPPENED TO MY FRIENDS 2014 RAM AND HIS CHARGER. THE SAME WEEK IT HAPPENED TO MY TRUCK.

PURCHASE MY RAM 1500 WITH THE 5.7 IN LATE 2014. I HAVE PUT APPROX 78K MILES ON MY TRUCK AND NOTICES A CLICKING /KNOCKING NOISE AND LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE INTERMITTENTLY. AFTER HAVE MY MECHANIC LOOK IT OVER, THE MOTOR IS HAVING CAM AND LIFTER PROBLEMS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE ONLINE . IN FACT, I NOW NOTICED SEVERAL OTHER RAM TRUCKS DRIVING BY ME IN PARKING LOTS, OR AT STOP LIGHTS THAT HAVE A FAINT VERSION OF WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING. I STARTED NOTICING THIS I LITTLE UPON STARTUP ONLY AND THEN IT BECAME SO BAD OUT OF THE BLUE THAT MY TRUCK STARTED RUNNING BAD AS IT GOT LOUD ENOUGH TO HEAR FROM IN THE CAB. NOW ITS SEES I WILL BE OUT A BUNCH OF MONEY TO REPLACE THE ENGINE

THIS VEHICLE HAD A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE TO THE STEERING RACK IN MAY OF 2019. THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY 8400 MILES AND HAD BEEN IN LIKE NEW CONDITION. THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILED, WHICH LOCKED UP MAKING IT NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO HANDLE. IF EXITING A HIGHWAY AT NORMAL SPEED THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR CRASH. RECALLS HAVE BEEN DONE ON LATER MODELS BUT NOT THE 2013, WHICH WAS THE FIRST YEAR OF INSTALL. THE REPAIR BILL WAS IN EXCESS OF $2400.00. RIGHT AFTER THE WARRANTY OF THE VEHICLE. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED WITH THIS MILEAGE IN FACTORY LIKE NEW CONDITION. BESIDES THE DANGER INVOLVED THE REPAIR FOR SAME IS ABSURD AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT THE EXPENSE OF DODGE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS BLOGS ABOUT THE FAILURE OF THIS PART AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.

CAM SHAFT LIFTER FAILURE. READ WHERE THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM. SAFETY ISSUE ON HIGHWAY.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, MY MOTOR SUDDENLY BEGAN MAKING A LOUD TICKING SOUND, FOLLOWED BY A CHANGE IN PERFORMANCE, FORCING ME TO QUICKLY CHANGE LANES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND GET INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE AND STOP.

AIR SUSPENSION GO OFF ALL THAT TIME WHEN I'M GOIN FAS LIKE 70 THEN DON'T WNNT TRUN ON ANYTHING AND I HAVE MY FAMILY AND KIDS I DON'T LIKE THAT FEELING

THERE IS AN EXHAUST LEAK THAT HAS BEEN REPAIRED 2 TIMES AND KEEPS COMING BACK. VERY COMMON.
