2017 RAM 3500 Complaints

PART NUMBER 68310865AB ENGINE OIL FILTER ADAPTER THIS IS THE THIRD PART FOR THIS VEHICLE THAT SEEMS UNAVAILABLE OVER 16,000 ON BACK ORDER AND THEY HAVE YET TO ISSUE A RECALL

BOUGHT TRUCK IN 10-10-2020 AND I STILL YET TO HAVE MY LICENSE PLATE. DEALERSHIP STILL HASN'T RETURNED MY CALLS. AND DMV SHOWS THAT MY VIN ISN'T VALID.

THE ADJUSTER ON MY DRAGLINK WAS LOOSE AND THE NUTS WERE WELDED TO THE ADJUSTER AND I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A TEMPOARY REPAIR. TODAY I CONTACTED RAM ABOUT A PERMANENT REPAIR FOR MY TRUCK AND WAS INFORMED THAT WEDING WAS A PERMANENT FIX. HOW CAN YOU ALLOW THIS. MY FRONT END IS NO LONGER ADJUSTABLE AND NOW I AM FORCED TO GO TO DEALER FOR FRONT END WORK INDEPENDENT SHOPS DO NOT WANT THE LIBIALTY. WELDING NUTS AND CUTTING THEM LOOSE WEAKENS THE METAL ARE YOU REQUIRING WELDING CERTIFICATION FOR REPAIRS. THIS REPAIR IS NOT SATISFACTORY PLEASE ADVISE THANK YOU

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 RAM 3500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATIONS OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 19V818000 (EQUIPMENT, ENGINE, AND ENGINE COOLING) AND 20V036000 (POWER TRAIN) HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE RECALL REPAIRS WERE NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT CENTRAL VALLEY CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (4460 MCHENRY AVE, MODESTO, CA 95356) WAS CONTACTED AND HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WOULD BE ORDERED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER RECENTLY INFORMED HIM THAT THE PARTS WERE ON BACK-ORDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT. ## VIN PASSED ## RAM 2017 ##

OCCASIONALLY WHEN YOU STEP ON THE CLUTCH TO STOP THE VEHICLE OR CHANGE GEARS, THE CLUTCH PEDAL JUST GOES STRAIGHT TO FLOOR AND DOES NOT DISENGAGE THE CLUTCH. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF TO STOP THE VEHICLE, AND SOMETIMES WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO BACK INTO A GEAR. ALSO WHILE DRIVING, SOMETIMES YOU CANNOT CHANGE GEARS. AFTER THE FIRST SIGN OF TROUBLE I CHECKED ALL OF THE FLUID LEVELS AND FOUND THAT THE HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR FOR THE CLUTCH CONTROL ASSEMBLY WAS LOW ON FLUID. I'VE HAD TO REFILL THIS RESERVOIR SEVERAL TIMES NOW, WHICH HELPS THE ISSUE OF CHANGING GEARS HOWEVER THE FLUID STILL SEEMS TO BE LEAKING OUT FROM SOMEWHERE, AND I'M CONCERNED THAT IT IS LEAKING SOMEWHERE INTERNALLY IN THE TRANSMISSION/CLUTCH AREA.

THERE ARE TWO OUTSTANDING RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE; VB2, ENGINE COOLING FAN & W00 SHIFTER CABLE. I HAVE BEEN TALKING TO DEALERS & FCA ABOUT GETTING THE VEHICLE FIXED SINCE AUGUST & AM TOLD THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. THE RECALL NOTICES STATE THAT IT IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE, YET THE MANUFACTURER IS UNABLE TO PROVIDE PARTS TO MAKE IT SAFE. SO I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT CANNOT BE USED IN ITS CURRENT STATE.

MY RAM 3500 2017 LOST SHIFTING IN AN INTERSECTION. IT WAS TOWED TO HERMISTON CHRYSLER IN OREGON 9/21/2020. THEY SAY WARRANTY REQUIRES THEM TO DETERMINE THE FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION. PARTS WERE SENT TO FIX IT. NOW WARRANTY SAYS SEND PICTURES. MIGHT SEND NEW TRANSMISSION. I MADE A 1400 MILE TRIP THERE THIS WEEK AND CAME HOME IN ANOTHER RENTAL. MY PICKUP CAMPER IS STRANDED THERE.

FUEL LEAK IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT. FUEL FILTER HOUSING WAS REPLACED DUE TO LEAKAGE AROUND FUEL HEATER ELEMENTS IN HOUSING. THIS IS EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM AND SAME FUEL FILTER HOUSING THAT BROUGHT ABOUT RAM RECALL P65. I HAVE CONTACTED RAM AND FILED A REPORT AS WELL AS RETAINED THE FAILED PART.

I RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE (NHTSA 19V-818000) IN NOVEMBER, 2019 FOR DEFECTIVE ENGINE COOLING FAN WHICH HAS CAUSED ENGINE FIRES. IT'S BEEN NEARLY ONE YEAR AND REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES. THIS LONG DELAY IS UNREASONABLE AND REPRESENTS GROSS NEGLIGENCE.

MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY FROM THE FEEDER, MY TRUCK HAD A DELAY (2-3 SECOND) IN ACCELERATION.
