The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.

this was a recall and all parts broke again . called dealer december 18 2023 and they have no idea what to do .

My service abs light comes on and off, which makes cruise control inoperable and rear park sensors inoperable. This also makes putting into 4x4 impossible unless I turn off the truck, switch to 4x4, and start it before the sensor kicks off. I’m worried about the abs mainly. I contacted my dealer and they said it’s a common issue but the part is almost $1k and backordordered for months. How is this not a recall or safety issue?

Turbocharger actuator failure. Recognized as known issue for vehicles manufactured one year later (2015). All replacement cost covered by manufacturer and warranty extended. The replacement part for the 2014 RAM 3500 turbocharger actuator is MOPAR part 68481772AA and the replacement part for the 2015 RAM 3500 turbocharger actuator is MOPAR part 68481772AA (identical part numbers). Similarly, the turbocharger installation kits for both model years are identical. Multiple online complaints noted about failures in 2014 model years. I incurred $3000 expense to replace. Two detailed letters sent to manufacturer with no response or acknowledgement of receipt.

There was the V06 Drag Link recall which was to weld the drag link solid with no adjustment. I had it inspected on 3 May 19 where they found the nuts not properly torqued. I told them not to weld on the truck as this would cause extra expense to me when having any future work done on the truck. Had contacted Ram Cares to get a replacement drag link installed now that a replacement part is available. That didn't happen as the appointment that I had through Ram Cares couldn't happen without DM notes. There is clucking in the steering again like before and I'm sure it has loosened up again. I confirmed with independent repair shops that they would either not touch it do to welding or charge me additional cost to remove the weld and wouldn't re-weld do to liability. If Ram was willing to supply lifetime alignments for the truck, then no problem. The welding goes against how it's supposed to be fixed. I could be subject to a DOT inspection and truck impounded if there is welding on steering components. I know it's a discretionary rule, But could cost me time, money and other expenses for something that there is the correct replacement part available to fix the manufacture error. Thank you for you time.

I HAVE 27 OPEN RECALLS, the steering wheel knuckle just keeps getting looser, nothing on the column will tighten, my wipers short out , I was sold a Omission deleted truck with documentation the day of purchase it was omission deleted, I was never told this vehicle was unsafe, The manufacture wants me to pay hundreds of dollars out of pocket for them to see if it maybe safe enough . Both Chysler, and the certified dealership of ford refuse to take any accountability or action

I was towing my 4 horse lq trailer from Ohio back to Illinois and without warning my whole wheel flew off. Left me stranded for days not to mention the accident I had to avoid when it happened

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 3500. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 50 MPH, the rear wheel studs failed. The wheels were stuck underneath the vehicle. The contact was able to pull over to the shoulder and noticed the wheel was bent. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the front and rear wheel studs needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that all thirty-two-wheel studs needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. While driving approximately 50 MPH, in the middle lane, the rear end of the vehicle swayed, and he noticed the tire behind the vehicle. The passenger’s side rear studs fractured, and the wheel detached and struck the median and crossed the highway. There were no reported injuries. The vehicle was towed to the dealer again but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed him about the warranty, but no additional assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 298,712.

ABS light, traction control, cruise control and the 4 wheel drive will not work. Part is on back order and was told November then January and now it’s August. I have a camper that I pull with this truck.
