2015 RAM 2500 Complaints

Complete engine failure at about 175000 miles, also transmission failure at about 125000 miles

Able to shift vehicle from park to gear without brake depressing. Truck jumps from park to reverse without being started. Yellow lights indicators for gear selected. Vehicle has died 3 times, once on highway lost total control of vehicle then turned on by itself. Once loaded with with a trailer turning off highway vehicle died lost power steering and engine functions. Vehicle died total blackout on dash then restarted.

Both front brake lines ruptured. The left front ruptured while operating at highway speeds. The right ruptured immediately after replacing the left. Both ruptures where in the braided hose, on the same end within .75 and 2 inches from the connector.

Over the past 2 years we have had issues with the front end particularly the drag link coming loose and major steering problems and major bouncing which resulted in purchasing 2 new sets of tires within 2 years. It was brought to our attention that there was a recall for the exact same issue from NHTSA Recall# V06 19V-021. Unfortunately our VIN number was not listed on the recall although our truck was having the same issue that was listed in the recall. I have contacted NHTSA and filed a safety complaint (Complaint# 11570103). Over the 2 years, we have had the drag link repaired twice which has cost us approximately $4700 in repair costs and tire replacement which could have been covered had our truck was listed under the recall. I have requested NHTSA to investigate and list our truck under the recall and is requesting refunds to the repairs I have already paid for. This request has been declined and that is not acceptable. Please add my vehicle under the recall so I can request a reimbursement. I want somebody to call me directly at [XXX] today.

I was driving and had the truck on cruise control and suddenly the cruise control disengaged and I got a message on the cluster that said Service Electronic Braking System. Now I get the message every time i turn on the truck. I read on line that this is an issue going on and just wanted to pass it along.

The blower motor for my air conditioner and heater is not working properly. The service company told me this is an ongoing issue with this model truck and I should file a complaint due to the number of incidents They are having with this vehicle with this problem. The service technician stated the computer box was full of corrosion from not being sealed properly from the factory. The service technician also stated that if the corrosion continues and the issue is not corrected, it could affect the entire ECM of my truck and my truck will not start.

After parking right after a paid car wash, the truck wouldn’t start and had no power to any component. Couldn’t get vehicle out of park. Batteries fully charged and no issue with terminals. There would be random moments when power came back but when starter was pressed, a clicking sound would occur and all power shut down again. Truck had to be towed to dealership where they were unable to duplicate or determine what caused the problem. Our concern is not being able to move the vehicle out of danger when this occurs or the danger of it occurring while in motion, which we experienced years ago with a Jeep Grand Cherokee.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 2500. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle suddenly lost significant motive power, after which the contact became aware that the vehicle had downshifted independently, prompting him to pull to the shoulder of the roadway. After restarting the vehicle, the vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the transmission solenoid pack. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to Customer Satisfaction Notification: U30. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 122,000.

Integrated trailer brake module produced by Continental Part Number 68237782AB does not function correctly. No voltage when gain set to 10 and manually activated. Issue frequently mentioned on RAM Forum pages. Dodge acknowledges that "may" have been an issue with a change in vendors. No warranty coverage.

Our vehicle was not part of the safety recall V06/NHTSA 19V-21 recall based on VIN but have been experiencing same issues in the recall: Drag link separation can result in a loss of directional steering control. We have had several close calls of truck losing control. Vehicle currently in authorized dealership with the following diagnosis: Upon inspection, technician found the track bar to continuously back off, no known fix for this issue. Requesting our truck VIN [XXX] to be claimed under this recall. It is possible that other trucks that were manufactured from the same plant as ours could have been built with these defective parts. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) The contact is requesting that their vehicle be added to the safety recall in order for their truck to be repaired.
