2015 RAM 2500 Complaints

My reimbursement for a recall I paid out of pocket was approved and a check was supposed to be sent to me, but has never been sent. I have called Mopar several times and they tell me they are sending the check to me but never do.

While my truck was parked and running (auto-started: FACTORY auto start), truck spontaneously burst into flames and burnt down before fire dept could get to it and put it out. TOTAL LOSS. Of note: fire dept was about 100yds away and responded as soon as we saw flames.

On 3/29/23 while driving approximately 80 miles back home, the vehicle began leaking engine oil and coolant upon acceleration. The vehicle was returned to the shop for repair but the repair failed. On 4/8/23, again the vehicle began to spew oil and coolant upon acceleration. No warning lights came on. The reservoir for coolant is drained of coolant. There is an odor of oil and antifreeze in the cabin which is harmful and poisonous. Also, the engine may fail along with other components on the vehicle without warning as no there is no indicator light warning of the problem.the vehicle was purchased on 3/29_23 from a used car dealership, whom allegedly claims to have inspected the vehicle thoroughly

The vehicle slid out of gear with no keys or brake; children were in car and escaped injury but VERY unsafe Gear shift lever broke off steering column (separate incident)

The first time I started to have issue was rear ABS sensor started going in and out got repaired and they said the wires going down the frame rail are getting pinched by the fuel tank in the frame rail then my backup camera went and same issue I was told by dealer and now my drivers side rear blinker is doing the same where starting to not work and from what I found the wires are being broke between fuel tank and frame rail from the factory they way the run the harness

The power steering pump bolts sheared off their mounts, causing a catastrophic and instant loss of my ability to steer and/or brake without great difficulty. While we were in a parking lot at the time, we had just crossed over a mountain pass, while hauling a 7200 lb travel trailer. Had it detached on a downhill, winding highway, this VERY easily would have been a fatal flaw.

My 2015 truck has 89,000 miles. The emission system DPF was replaced under EPA settlement with RAM at about 20,000miles. The DEF system failed at 89k. When it failed the truck started bellowing toxic ammonia from the exhaust. When the system failed, a check engine light came on and the truck indicated I had 150 miles before 5 MPH line mode. The amonia Fumes where overwhelming. You could see the cloud coming out of the exhaust. The dealer confirmed the DEF pump failed. However the pump is still working and pumped half a tank of DEF into my exhaust system in less than 30 miles. Independant shop suspects additional damage to NOX sensor and other parts as a result of the pump failure. Ram admits the pump is a high fail item but not covered past original 80k emissions warrenty. The pump is 1,400 dealer list. I have never heard of a vehicle having less than 100,000 10 year emissions warrenty. My VW TDI passat has over 150k full emissions warrenty from the EPA settlement. I don't understand how RAM is not liable for low milage emission failured below 100k miles. The pumps fail alot! Apparently they have been or are trying to redesign them. This is one leading reason why owners delete unreliable emission designs. I would like my emissions failure covered by RAM and the software logic updated on all RAMs to shut down DEF pumps when they fail so they do not produce heavy toxic ammonia clouds.

lt245/70r17 we had the other front tire separate a few weeks ago. the employee was driving a few miles an hour on property when she felt and heard a thumping. immediately parked it. this is the 3rd tire in the last couple of months, all of them cooper discover LT tires without significant mileage that have had blets/tread split/separate. I foudn that there was a 500000 tire recall of this line last year. i think the problem is bigger.

LOUD TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. DEALER SAYS BROKEN EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS ARE CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER TODAY AND THEY SAID NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED TO CORRECT AND REPAIR THE FAULTY PROBLEM. DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY, AS I AM A 3-TIME MASTER ASE TECH AND KNOW THAT EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS JUST DON'T BREAK, AND AFTER ONLINE RESEARCH I SEE THERE IS A DEFINITE MAJOR PROBLEM OVER THE YEARS WITH THESE.

one of my guys was driving a company vehicle when he felt wobble. upon returning to our property he showed me that the front passenger tire had major tread separation. no accidents, etc were involved. we had a tread separation on another truck 2 weeks ago so this brought up a red flag and i looked up the tires and found recalls of similar lines last year. So i want to log this in case other people are also having this issue. we have cooper discoverer at3 on a few trucks. Lt 245/70r17
