2014 RAM 3500 Complaints

RIGHT STEER WHEEL SPLIT, ALLOWING AIR TO ESCAPE CREATING A SEVERER PULL TO THE RIGHT. THANKFULLY, THE WHEEL DID NOT COME COMPLETELY APART OR THIS COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC, AS I DRIVE NATIONWIDE.

MY HUSBAND RECEIVED A RECALL FOR A WATER PUMP FAILURE THAT MAY RESULT IN ENGTINE FIRE OR RISK OF INJURY TO OCCUPANTS AND WAS ALSO INFORMED THEIR IS NO REMEDY FOR THIS CONDITION SERVICE IS CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE. DOES THIS MEAN RAM WELL BE RESPONSIBLE OF ANY INJURY THAT MAY OCCUR. A RECALL FOR A DANGEROUS CONDITION BUT NO FIX AVAILABLE

WATER PUMP SEIZED UP AND CAUSED BELT TO BREAK LEAVING NO POWER BRAKES OR STEERING WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE!! I GOT THE RECALL FOR THE WATER PUMP BUT CAUSING A FIRE LIKE THE RECALL SAYS DOES NOT DESCRIBE THE SERIOUSNOUS OFF THIS DEFECT! IS THE ONE THEY REPLACED IT WITH IN JUNE OF 2016 GOING TO DO THE SAME THING???

ORDERED AND PURCHASED OUR 2014 DODGE RAM WORK TRUCK IN MARCH OF 2014. IN 3 1/2 YEARS THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN HAS BEEN IN DEALER SHOP FOR (4) RECALLS AND MULTIPLE STEERING, ALIGNMENT, AND SUSPENSION ISSUES. WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, STEERING WOULD CEASE TO RESPOND, CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN DRIVING. HAPPENED TWICE IN 2 WEEKS.

SUSPENSION IS INSUFFICIENT FOR WEIGHT OF ENGINE CREATING A DANGEROUS STEERING SITUATION WHILE IN MOTION ON ANY SURFACE ON OR OFF ROAD, STRAIGHT AHEAD OR TURNING. CUMMINGS 6.7L ENGINE IS TWICE THE WEIGHT OF THE HEMI ENGINE NORMALLY MOUNTED ON THIS 1500 RAM SUSPENSION SYSTEM

ENGINE CODE U05A5 DEALER SAYS IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL FOR THE 15'S. I BOUGHT NEW SO THIS WOULD BE MY COST.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE RUBBER PORTION OF THE FAN SHROUD ON MY 2014 RAM 3500 WITH THE 6.7 CUMMINS DIESEL ENGINE. WHILE TOWING MY 5TH WHEEL UP A GRADE, THE FAN CLUTCH WAS ENGAGED AND THE TRUCK DOWN-SHIFTED. A SHORT TIME LATER I HAD A STRONG VIBRATION AND NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK. THE NOISE WENT AWAY, AND THEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED ONE MORE TIME. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND FOUND THAT THE BOTTOM PORTION OF THE RUBBER-LIKE FAN SHROUD WAS TORN APART AS THE RESULT OF CONTACT WITH THE ENGINE COOLING FAN. THIS IS AN INTERNALLY WELL-KNOWN ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER/FIAT/RAM AS REFERENCED BY THEIR STAR CASE #S1307000002. THEY HAVE REFUSED TO FIX IT UNDER ANY SORT OF FACTORY WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND EVEN ACKNOWLEDGED THAT IT MAY HAVE BEEN INSTALLED INCORRECTLY AT THE FACTORY (WHICH IS STATED IN THEIR STAR CASE). A QUICK SEARCH ONLINE HAS SHOWN THIS AS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE, WITH SOME FARING MUCH WORSE DESTRUCTION AND DAMAGE THAN MYSELF. THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE, AND A TRUE FIX NEEDS TO BE IMPLEMENTED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT!

THE TRUCK HAS THE "DEAD PEDAL" ISSUE. IF STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND YOU GO TO TAKE OFF THERE IS ABOUT A 3-5 SECOND DELAY BEFORE YOU GET POWER TO MOVE FORWARD. ALSO, IF YOU ARE DRIVING AND LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND THEN HAVE TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO GO AGAIN THERE IS A LONG DELAY THERE AS WELL. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN WHEN TRYING TO MERGE ONTO A HIGHWAY OR PASS A SLOW VEHICLE. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY THAT HAVE FILED THIS COMPLAINT, WHEN DOES SOMETHING ACTUALLY START TO GET FIXED?

EXPERIENCED ACCELERATION LAG OR DEAD PEDAL AS OTHERS REFER TO IT. IN AN INTERSECTION READY TO TURN, PLENTY OF TIME TO CROSS TO THE LEFT BEFORE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. START TO TURN STEP ON THE GAS AND NOTHING FOR 2 A 3 SECONDS. ABOUT HAD A HEART ATTACK RIGHT THERE. ONCOMING TRAFFIC SLAMS ON THEIR BRAKES, LAYS ON HORN AND GESTURES AT ME WITH THEIR MIDDLE DIGIT AS MY TRUCK FINALLY ACCELERATES OUT OF THE WAY.

FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE IS MORE THEN 5 DEGREES OUT OF CAMBER CAUSING THE TIRE PULL, CREATE MORE HEAT, AND WEAR OUT. I CONTACTED DEALER AND WAS INFORMED RAM DOESN'T HAVE A CAMBER ADJUSTMENT SO THERE'S NO WAY TO CORRECT IT WITH OUT PUTTING AFTERMARKET BALL JOINTS IN I NOTICED IT AT LESS THEN 5000 MILES
