2014 RAM 2500 Complaints

MISFIRE, NEEDLE BEARING FAILURE IN LIFTER. I RESEARCHED AND SEE THIS A COMMON ISSUE WITH TRUCKS AS EARLY AS 75K MILES.

YOUR RECALL REMEDY FOR 19V-021 IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE SOLUTION OF WELDING THE DRAG LINK ADJUSTER NUTS TO THE SLEEVE, PERMANENTLY RENDERS THE VEHICLE FROM BEING PROPERLY ALIGNED FOREVER. THE ONLY WAY AROUND THIS IS TO BREAK THE WELDS, ADJUST THE STEERING SLEEVE AND THEN WELDING THE NUTS AGAIN. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE SOLUTION AS MOST ALIGNMENT SHOPS DO NOT HAVE WELDING EQUIPMENT TO DO THIS, THUS POTENTIALLY PLACING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS IN DANGER AGAIN. YOUR AGREED SOLUTION DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO ADDRESS PERMANENT FIX AND WAS NOTHING MORE THAN A WAY TO MITIGATE COST FOR FCA. THIS PERMANENT FIX NEEDS TO BE INSTALLATION OF THE REDESIGNED PART OR REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE PURCHASE/INSTALLATION OF AN AFTERMARKET PART THAT WILL NOT SUFFER THE SAME POTENTIAL FAILURE AS THE PART UNDER RECALL.

2014 DODGE RAM 2500. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DRAG LINK SAFETY RECALL. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE RECALL REPAIR FOR THE DRAG LINK WOULD CAUSE COMPLICATIONS WITH GETTING AN ALIGNMENT, REQUIRING THE WELD FIX TO BE BROKEN AND THEN RE-WELDED EACH ALIGNMENT. *JS

5" UCONNECT RADIO (RA2) RESPONSIBLE FOR TOUCH SCREEN SAFETY OPTIONS ON TOP OF BEING OTHER THAN FOR JUST BEING A "SMART" RADIO FOR CALLS AND SUCH... WHEN MALFUNCTIONING, IT REFUSES TO START OR "BOOT UP." IT WILL ONLY SHOW A RAM LOGO WHEN ON AND DRIVING WITH NO OPERATING FEATURES. WHILE THE VEHICLE IS OFF, IT IS A PARASITIC BATTERY DRAIN. POWER MUST BE DISCONNECTED TO PROTECT THE BATTERY. TOOK TO DEALER. WAS TOLD THE RADIO HAS NO FIX OTHER THAN TO REPLACE THE WHOLE (COSTLY) UNIT. I HAVE SCOURED THE INTERNET FORUMS AND MANY HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE.

WHILE USING THE RAMBOX CARGO SYSTEM, A TORSION ROD POPPED OUT AND NEARLY HIT ME IN THE FACE WITH A LOT OF FORCE. THE TORSION ROD IS ONE OF TWO USED TO KEEP THE CARGO DOOR OPEN ON THE RAMBOX. A METAL TAB THAT WAS KEEPING TENSION ON THE TORSION ROD FAILED SENDING THE ROD TOWARDS MY FACE.

RIGHT HAND MANIFOLD LEAK. UNKNOWN IF CRACKED MANIFOLD OR BROKEN BOLTS. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 71,000 MILES ON IT. FROM INTERNET SEARCH, THIS SEEMS LIKE A COMMON PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AS THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA FAILS THIS DURING A VEHICLE SAFETY INSPECTION.

2014 RAM 2500 FIAT CHRYSLER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO MANY SAFETY ISSUE RECALLS CONCERNING VEHICLE AND REQUEST COMPENSATION OR REFUND. *AS THE CONSUMER STATED THE RECALL WOULD EXCEED A REASONABLE AMOUNT BEFORE IT WOULD BE COMPLETED. *JS

THE VEHICLE HAS SERIOUS ISSUES WITH IT'S EMISSIONS SYSTEM. FIRST THE EGR WAS REPLACED AT A DEALERSHIP FOR $2,000 AND THEY MUST NOT HAVE REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER BECAUSE AFTER THE INSTALLATION THE ENTIRE EXHAUST SYSTEM FAILED AND IT WENT INTO LIMP MODE AT 10 MPH AND NOW IT IS ANOTHER $7,000 REPAIR. DODGE SHOULD BE RECALLING THIS TRUCK FOR EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEMS SINCE IT'S APPARENTLY A KNOWN ISSUE.
