2016 RAM 2500 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 2500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V562000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR AS THE RECALL NOTICE WAS RECEIVED OVER SIX MONTHS AGO. THE DEALER (WEST HILL CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE, 900 W HILLS BLVD, BREMERTON, WA 98312) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

CAME TO STOP LIGHT AFTER RUNNING 20 MINUTES ON THE FREEWAY. WHEN PULLING AWAY, THE THROTTLE WAS NOT RESPONDING, BUT I WAS IN THE INTERSECTION (SINCE THE TRUCK MOVES WITHOUT YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE) AND NEEDING TO ACCELERATE TO NOT GET HIT. PRESSED ON AND OFF THE ACCELERATOR UNTIL FINALLY THE ENGINE STARTED TO RESPOND. THIS IS THE 4TH OR 5TH INCIDENT. MY PREVIOUS INCIDENTS WERE REPORTED UNDER COMPLAINT NUMBER 10969231. INCIDENT OCCURRED WITH 14862 MILES ON THE ODOMETER.

TRUCK SUDDENLY SHUT OFF WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEED. COMPLETE SHUT DOWN OF ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AND ENGINE (NOTHING WORKED) DEALER DIAGNOSED AS ELECTRICAL FAILURE OF POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE AND SEVERAL OTHER ELECTRICAL PARTS DUE TO CORROSION IN THE WIRING HARNESS. HAD THERE BEEN HEAVIER TRAFFIC OR I BEEN IN THE MIDDLE OR LEFT LANE WHEN TRUCK FAILED, I WOULD HAVE LIKELY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. EVEN THE FLASHERS WOULDN'T WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 2500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE CONTACT WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END COLLISION. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAGS WERE MISSING SPRINGS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND DEEMED OPERABLE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000.

OWNED THIS TRUCK FOR LESS THAN A YEAR BOUGHT WITH 6000 MILES. VEHICLE DOWN SHIFTS INTO A LOW GEAR WHILE APPROACHING A STOP. THIS PRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE ON SNOW COVERED ROADS AND EVERYDAY DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR THIS PROBLEM AND IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED.THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY FIXED IT? EXHAUST HAS BROKEN FROM THE WELDS I NOTICED THIS AT 20,000 MILES. THIS HAS CAUSED THE EXHAUST SYSTEM TO LEAK UNDERNEATH THE CAB. A STRONG COOLANT SMELL REGULARLY IN THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK, DEALERSHIP SAYS NO PROBLEMS, IF SO WHY DOES IT CONTINUE? CRACKING SOUND IN THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH ALSO HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP AND NOT FIXED.

RECALL FOR WATER PUMP FAILURE, CONTACTED DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES, NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX STILL AT THIS TIME, SAFETY ISSUE FOR FIRE RISK

WHEN PULLING A CAMPER THE TRUCK SHUT OFF (THERE WAS NO FUNCTION OF THE GAS OR BRAKE PEDAL) CAUSING THE CAMPER TO JACK KNIFE AND HIT THE REAR TAIL LIGHT. WHEN THE CAMERA CAUGHT UP TO THE TRUCK WET SPUN 180 DEGREES AT 65 MPH THEN FLIPPED. NO AIRBAG WENT OFF AND THE SEATBELT DID NOT STAY LOCKED. MY SON WHO WAS SITTING IN THE BACK CLIMBED OUT OF THE BACKSEAT WITHOUT UNLATCHING HIS SEATBELT.

I RECENTLY RECEIVED A NOTICE OF RECALL ON MY TRUCK, REGARDING THE POTENTIAL FOR THE WATER PUMP TO FAIL, CAUSING AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE. HOWEVER, THERE IS CURRENTLY NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. I AM VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE, NOT ONLY DO I DRIVE IT EVERY DAY TO WORK, IT IS OUR TRAVELING TRUCK AND WE USE IT TO HAUL OUR LARGE 5TH WHEEL TRAILER. THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE TO OCCUR WHILE DRIVING, OR WHILE WE'RE HAULING THE TRAILER, IS QUITE SCARY. A FIX FOR THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE DETERMINED QUICKLY.
