2015 RAM 1500 Complaints

POWER STEERING IS INTERMITTENT WHEN TURNING ON A CITY STREET AND ON HIGHWAY. HARD TO MAINTAIN CONTROL ON CURVES

THERE IS A CONSIDERABLE DIFFERENCE IN THROTTLE RESPONSE CURRENTLY UPON INITIALLY STARTING VEHICLE. IT MAKES IT QUITE DIFFICULT FOR THE TRUCK TO ACCELERATE AS INTENDED SHORTLY AFTER STARTING. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL INCIDENTS ALREADY IN WHICH I HAVE HAD TO STOMP ON THE ACCELERATOR TO AVOID A COLLISION AS I WAS NOT EXPECTING THE TRUCK TO CRAWL ALONG VERSUS IT'S STANDARD ACCELERATION.

2015 RAM 1500 WITH 69,000 MILES ON IT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN TRUCK GETS TO A HALF TANK OF GAS HAD THE CODE CHECKED P0463 FUEL SENSOR LEVEL. NOW I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK BECAUSE CANT TRUST THE FUEL GAUGE WHILE TRAVELING ALSO TRUCK WONT START WITH REMOTE START WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. FROM DOING SOME RESEARCH THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM . ITS SAD THAT YOU PAY SO MUCH MONEY FOR A TRUCK AND HAVE TO DEAL WITH SITUATIONS LIKE THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE EXITING A PARKING SPOT THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE PERSISTED FOR TWENTY MINUTES.

THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER INVOICE 521651. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19E077000 (STEERING).

FUEL SENSOR UNIT FAILURE RESULTING IN VEHICLES INABILITY TO READ HOW MUCH FUEL VEHICLE HAS. A KNOWN ISSUE FOR YEAR MAKE AND MODEL OF TRUCK. FCA HAS FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE LONG AGO. WHILE DRIVING MY CHECK ENGINE LOGO CAME ON AND I GOT THE ERROR MESSAGE FUEL SENSOR FAILURE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL RAM DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM HOWEVER IF MY WARRANTY WAS UP FIAT CHRYSLER WILL LIKELY NOT COVER IT.

I WAS UNLOADING GROCERIES FROM BED AREA. TRIED TO CLOSE THE TAILGATE AND TAILGATE WOULD NOT LATCH. I ALWAYS PULL ON TAILGATE AFTER CLOSING TO MAKE SURE IT LATCHES BUT THIS TIME IT DID NOT. SINCE THEN IT HAS REPEATED THIS ACTION 3-4 MORE TIMES BUT NEVER OPENED WHILE MOVING (YET.) I MANIPULATE THE LATCHING MECHANISM A FEW TIMES AND THEN IT WILL CATCH. VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WAS PURCHASED PREVIOUSLY OWNED ( I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 2-1/2 YEARS), AND CURRENTLY HAS 92,430 MILES. ALL OTHER RECALLS ARE FIXED AND UP TO DATE.

THE AIR SUSPENSION FAILS IN COLD WEATHER PUTTING THE TRUCK INTO AN UNSAFE POSITION (LEANING 30 DEGREES DOWN ON THE DRIVERS SIDE). THIS CAN HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE STATIONARY

WHILE, DRIVING 50-55 MPH, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN, LOSS POWER, AND THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT CAUGHT FIRE. THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL ODOR OF SMOKE DETECTED. THE LOW PRESSURE, THROTTLE, AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED.
