2014 RAM 3500 Complaints

The acceleration severely lags from a stop. When I’m stopped and try to go the truck hesitates and it’s very dangerous. This problem has been happening on and off for years. It’s very dangerous and unpredictable.

FUEL SENSOR FAILURE AT 52,000 MILES. VEHICLE WAS PARKED FOR 2 DAYS AROUND CHRISTMAS, STARTED DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS AND ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, 'FUEL SENSOR FAILURE' ALERT COMES ACROSS, FUEL GAUGE ON EMPTY WHILE HAVING A FULL TANK.

WHEN TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF 50 TO 75 MPH AND DRIVING OVER UNEVEN PAVEMENT OR TRANSITIONS (BRIDGES OR INTERSECTIONS) THAT ARE NOT SMOOTH THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIGOROUSLY. THE SHAKE IS TO THE POINT THAT YOU HAVE TO GRIP IT TIGHTLY TO ENSURE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE TO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE WHEELS WOBBLE BACK AND FORTH VIGOROUSLY JUST LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL. YOU CANNOT PRESS ON YOUR BRAKES UNTIL YOUR SPEED DROPS WHEN YOU LET OFF THE GAS. THIS HAPPENS ON ALL KINDS OF ROADWAYS. THIS FIRST HAPPENED ON 09/15/2016 AND STILL HAPPENS TO THIS DAY. I HAVE VIDEOS OF THIS HAPPENING.

TURBO ACTUATOR FAILED LEAVING US STRANDED WHILE ON VACATION. VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART ONCE POWER WAS LOST AND WE HAD TO STOP ON SIDE OF ROAD AND WAIT UNTIL THE ENGINE WOULD START. WE HAD BEEN TAKING THE VEHICLE TO A RAM DEALERSHIP TO TROUBLE SHOOT FROM THE BEGINNING BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE OVER A PERIOD OF TIME FINALLY ENDING WITH THE ACTUATOR HAVING TO BE REPLACED. THIS ENGINE SHOULD BE LASTING BUT FAILED AT 109,082 MILES. THE PROBLEM WITH ACTUATOR FAILED US WAY TOO SOON FOR A RAM CUMMINS DIESEL WHICH SHOULD GET AT LEAST 300,000 MILES DURABLE WEAR. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN ABUSED IN ANY WAY AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN PROPERLY SERVICED AT AN AUTHORIZED RAM DEALERSHIP. WE CAME HOME FROM VACATION AND TOOK TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF DANDER OF LOSING POWER. WE HAD TO TRAVEL THREE HOURS IN ORDER TO GET HOME FROM VACATION. THEN DO WITHOUT VEHICLE IN ORDER TO HAVE REPAIRED. THE AUTHORIZED DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS ALWAYS BEEN EXCELLENT, WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO COMPLAINT AGAINST THEIR SERVICE. I ACTUALLY SAW SEVERAL ACTUATORS WAITING TO BE RETURNED TO RAM BECAUSE THEY HAD BEEN REPLACED. I ASKED WHAT THEY WERE AND I WAS TOLD ACTUATORS THAT HAD BEEN REPLACED WAITING TO BE RETURNED UNDER WARRANTY! WHEN THIS HAPPENED TO US I WAS TOLD 2014 VEHICLES HAD NOT BEEN WARRANTED BY RAM. THE VERY FACT THAT THE ACTUATORS WERE FAILING SPEAKS VOLUMES TO ME BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PART. AFTER WAITING ONE YEAR FOR RAM TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM IT IS OBVIOUS IT IS BEING IGNORED ON 2014 TRUCKS WHICH HAVE BEEN SOLD FOR POWER AND DURABILITY. IF ONE ACTUATOR GOES BAD THERE IS A RESPONSIBILITY BY RAM TO BACK THEIR PRODUCT. THE CUSTOMER HONORABLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WITH FORETHOUGHT OF ENDURANCE SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THE PACKAGE PROVIDED SUITED FOR THE NEED OF PURCHASE. BY THE WAY, THIS IS THE FIRST RAM PURCHASED BY ME!!! WHAT DO YOU THINK???? *TR

IN THE LAST YEAR AND HALF, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START AFTER DRIVING SOMEPLACE, SEEMS IT DOES THIS EVERY FEW MONTHS, THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT STARTED IS TO EITHER ROCK THE TRUCK OR PUSH IT ABOUT 15 FEET. I'VE HAD IT INTO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES, THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM NOR WILL IT NOT START FOR THEM. THIS HAS BECOME VERY FRUSTRATING! I TOW A 39 FOOT TRAILER AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE WITH IT NOT STARTING! HELP PLEASE.
