2015 RAM 2500 Complaints

DEAD PEDAL WHEN PRESSING ON PEDAL TRUCK DOES NOT MOVE. HAPPENED ABOUT 6 TIMES ON MY. WHEN TAKEN OFF FROM A LIGHT AND ALSO WHEN SLOW ROLLING THE PRESS PEDAL WITH NO RESPONCE. ALMOST BE HIT TWICE BY OTHER CARS WHEN TRYING TO PULL OUT AND TRUCK DOES NOT MOVE.

WHEN CRUISING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS >55 MPH THERE IS A VERY NOTICEABLE VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END / DRIVE LINE OF THE TRUCK.

BRAND NEW 2015 RAM 2500 LARAMIE LIMITED 4X4 PICKED IT UP AND WITHIN TWO WEEKS WE DROVE TO WI FROM FL. NOTICED SLOP IN THE REAR END MORE THAN ANY OTHER RAM I'VE OWNED. ALSO HAD A VIBRATION BETWEEN 65 AND 78 TOOK IT BACK EXPLAINED I THOUGHT THE DRIVE TRAIN HAD ISSUES. THE DEALER HAD IT FOR ONE DAY AND GAVE IT BACK SAYING "WE BALANCED TIRES AND DIDN'T HEAR ANY CLUNK". I TEST DROVE, ISSUES STILL THERE TOOK IT BACK AND THE DEALER KEPT IT FOR 3 DAYS AND CALLED AND SAID "ALL DONE WE CHANGED/WARRANTED TWO REAR TIRES THEY WERE BAD". "MOVED REAR TIRES TO THE FROM BACK TO FRONT. TIGHTENED THE DEF BRACKET AND TRANS MOUNT CLUNK GONE". I TEST DROVE ISSUES BOTH STILL THERE. I RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID "OH YES WE FEEL IT, WE PUT ON 2 REAR ROTORS AND RIGHT REAR HUB, WE STILL FEEL THE VIBRATION AND THE SLOPPY REAR END." WE CALLED CHRYSLER TO PUT IN A CASE. AFTER ONE WEEK I CALLED AND ASKED WHATS GOING ON. "WE ARE STILL GETTING INFORMATION FROM CHRYSLER". I CALLED WEEK TWO AND WAS TOLD "CHRYSLER IS SENDING OUT AN ENGINEER SHOULD BE HERE MONDAY OR TUESDAY OF THIS WEEK (10/12/2015 OR 10/13/2015) I SAID I WANT TO BE ONSITE WHEN THEY ARRIVE TO PROTECT MY INTEREST IN A $71000.00 VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD TODAY NOW THE "ENGINEER ISN'T COMING BUT HE DROVE A VEHICLE EQUIPPED AS MINE IN N FL AND NO VIBRATION PRESENT". I TOLD HIM I AM CLOSE TO PUTTING IN A CASE FOR LEMON LAW AND WITH THE NHTSA, HE CHUCKLED AND SAID "I WILL BE IN TOUCH WHEN CHRYSLER CALLS ME WITH MORE INSTRUCTION." I AGAIN STATED I AM SERIOUS I CANNOT AFFORD TO DO THIS AND NEED MY VEHICLE FOR WORK. HE SAID "I'LL CALL YA". PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO HELP OR DIRECT CHRYSLER RAM TO RECALL OR GET A NEW SAME EQUIPPED TRUCK HERE FOR ME. THERE ARE 851 PORT ON THE CUMMINS SITE WITH THE SAME ISSUE WE ARE TRYING TO GET TO POST HERE IMMEDIATELY.

LOSING BRAKE LIGHTS WHILE STOPPING. NOT SPECIFIC TO DRIVING CONDITIONS, I.E. DAY NIGHT CITY HIGHWAY WEATHER. ERROR MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, DASH. HAPPENS USUALLY ONCE EACH TRIP.

VEHICLE HAS VIBRATION AT 65-75 MPH. BEEN TO DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AND STILL NOT FIXED.

INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER DOES NOT APPLY FULL VOLTAGE TO ELECTRIC TRAILER BRAKES. I HAD AN 8% GRADE TO DECEND AND WHEN I STOPPED TO CHECK MY TRAILER BRAKES I COULD EASILY OVERPOWER THEM WHEN SET TO MAX GAIN AND 100% APPLIED WITH SLIDER. WHEN I GOT HOME I RESEARCHED AND FOUND I AM NOT THE ONLY RAM OWNER EXPERIENCING THIS. WHEN I CHECKED THE VOLTAGE I COULD ONLY GET 9.3V ON LIGHT ELECTRIC SETTING AND ONLY 7.4V ON HEAVY ELECTRIC. TOWING THE SAME TRAILER AS MY FATHER'S 2012 RAM WITH INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE CONTOLLER I HAVE TO USE 6.5 GAIN SETTING VS HIS 3.5 GAIN SETTING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE RAM 2500. AFTER PARKING AND EXITING THE VEHICLE, IT STARTED TO ROLL AWAY INDEPENDENTLY AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

"DEAD PEDAL" ON CUMMINS DIESEL ENGINE. IF ACCELERATING THEN LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THEN PRESS IT AGAIN, THERE WILL BE A MOMENTARY "DEAD PEDAL" FOR SEVERAL SECONDS OR MORE WHERE NO ENGINE POWER IS APPLIED. THE HARDER YOU PRESS THE PEDAL THE SECOND TIME (I.E., THE MORE YOU NEED THE POWER), THE WORSE IT IS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS WHEN TRYING TO MERGE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, WHEN CROSSING INTERSECTIONS, AND OTHER TIMES WHERE I NEEDED THE ENGINE TO GIVE ME POWER RIGHT THEN, NOT SEVERAL SECONDS (OR MORE) LATER. THIS COULD VERY EASILY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT.

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES AN HOUR, MY RIGHT KNEE SWIPED MY KEY FOB/KEY CHAIN AND TURN THE IGNITION FROM ON, TO THE ACC POSITION THEREBY TURNING THE ENGINE OFF. I LOSS ALL POWER AND WAS UNAWARE FOR A FEW SECONDS UNTIL THE TRUCK FROM LOSS OF POWER WAS SLOWING DOWN AND HARD TO STEER. WAS ABLE TO GET TO SIDE OF ROAD AND RESTART ENGINE AND PROCEED ON WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. UPON FURTHER EXAMINATION, IT LOOKS LIKE MY KNEES FROM NORMAL DRIVING WILL MAKE PERIODIC CONTACT WITH THE KEY FOB AND KEY CHAIN AND SEE THIS AS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE SINCE POWER IS LOST AND AIR BAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT.
