2014 RAM 3500 Complaints

TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR STOPPED WORKING ON LEFT FRONT WHEEL. ERROR MESSAGE TO HAVE SENSOR SYSTEM SERVICED APPEARS AT STARTUP. FAILURE OCCURRED ON SECONDARY STREETS AT BEGINNING OF TRIP, TOWING 5TH WHEEL. STOPPED AND CHECKED TIRE PRESSURE TO SEE IF TIRE WAS FAILING. PRESSURE WAS NORMAL. NO PSI DISPLAYED ON CONSOLE FOR LEFT FRONT. OTHER SENSORS REPORTING NORMALLY.

CRUISE CONTROL OPERATION HAS BECOME ERRATIC WHILE TRUCK IS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY AT 55 -66 MPH.. STOPPED MAINTAINING SPEED BUT ALSO COULD NOT TURN OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL. TOOK A RANDOM SERIES OF BUTTON PUSHES AND BRAKING BEFORE IT FINALLY RESPONDED AND TURNED OFF. HAS SINCE WORKED CORRECTLY AT TIMES, AND FAILED TO MAINTAIN SPEED AT OTHER TIMES.

I LOCKED IN CRUISE CONTROL AT 45MPH, ENGINE WENT TOTALLY WIDE OPEN, I WANTED TO LET IT GO TO SEE HOW FAST IT WOULD GET TO BUT A CAR WAS PULLING OUT OF WOODLAND WAY.LESS THAN 5 SECONDS I WAS AT 85MPH. I HAD TO BRAKE HARD TO BRING IT BACK DOWN BEFORE THE INTERSECTION. NOW THE TOTAL STEERING WHEEL IS DEAD.NO HORN OR OTHER CONTROLS. QUALITY SHOP SAY'S 500.00 TO REPAIR. ALSO EARLIER TOTAL SHUT DOWN.WRECKER HAUL TO QUALITY 150.00. QUALITY SAID BATTERIES LOW VOLTAGE AT ONLY APPOX. 38000 MILES. 380.00 FOR TWO MOPAR BATTERIES. I'M STILL USING BOTH BATTERIES AT OUR EQUIPTMENT RENTAL BUSINESS. I TOLD QUALITY ABOUT CRUISE CONTROL AND THEY REPLACED SWITCH BUT ALWAYS SAID COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEMS. IS THIS A SAFETY RECALL OR NOT? I REALLY DON'T WANT TO PUT 500.00 0N A NEW WATCH SPRING JUST TO SMOKE IT AGAIN!! THANK YOU (XXXX) THIS HAPPENED OVER A YEAR OR TWO AGO. I KEPT DRIVING AS IT WAS. BILL COPIES ARE IN TRUCK PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

WHILE DRIVING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE TRANSMISSION GOES INTO LOW GEAR AND INTO "LIMP MODE". THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS CHARGED ME TO TRY AND CORRECT THIS ISSUE BY INSTALLING A NEW FUSE BOX OR TIPM BOARD AND REPROGRAMMING IT. STILL THE ISSUE IS NOT FIXED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 3500. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE, A POP SOUND OCCURRED UNDER THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE STEERING ROD WAS DETACHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND WAS LATER TAKEN TO SOUTHLAND DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM FIAT (LOCATED AT 6161 W PARK AVE, HOUMA, LA 70364, (985) 303-1589) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING ROD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED BECAUSE THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 58393140. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

FUEL IS LEAKING FROM THE FUEL FILTER HOUSING CONNECTOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. RECALL EXISTS FOR THIS CONDITION BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BUT HAS THE SAME ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 3500. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BE REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. IN TURN, THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS ALSO REAR ENDED BY A THIRD VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PARK THE VEHICLE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED; HOWEVER, FIVE REAR PASSENGERS IN THE OTHER TWO VEHICLES WERE INJURED AND RECEIVED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEMONTROND CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (LOCATED AT 888 I-45, CONROE, TX 77304, (936) 249-1038) WERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT TRACK FRAME BRACKETS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN RELATION TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V541000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

I HAVE RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE CONCERNING THE DRAG LINK. THE RECALL SAYS THAT THIS DEFECTIVE PART COULD CAUSE AN CRASH. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER WHO SAYS THAT THERE IS AT THIS TIME NO FIX. I CALLED SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS AND ONE SAID THERE IS NO FIX AND THE OTHER STATES THAT THE FIX IS TO WELD THE PART. WELDING THIS PART DOES NOT ALLOW ME TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE TIE ROD ENDS EACH TIME TO ADJUST THE FRONT END ALIGNMENT. IT MAY BE THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS SOLD TO ME KNOWING THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM SINCE THE RECALLS WERE FOR PREVIOUS YEARS. CHRYSLER SAYS THEY ARE ONLY FIXING THE 2017 AND 2018 YEARS. I HAVE A 2014 3500 AND A 2015 3500. WE INSPECTED AND FOUND THE NUT TO BE VERY LOOSE. YOUR WEBSITE SAYS THAT THERE IS A FIX OF REPLACING THE DRAG LINK. CHRYSLER DISAGREES. WHO'S RIGHT?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 3500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE RIM FRACTURED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO A DITCH. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DAMAGED OR TOWED. AAA WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE AND CHANGED THE TIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CHARLIE'S DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (419-893-0241, LOCATED AT 725 ILLINOIS AVE, MAUMEE, OH 43537) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN TOOK PICTURES OF THE TIRE AND RIM. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PICTURES WOULD BE PRESENTED TO THE REPRESENTATIVE WHO HANDLED SUCH FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROMISED TO CALL THE CONTACT BACK. THE CONTACT WAS NOT CALLED BACK. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE WHEELS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 200,000.

TAKATA RECALL AFTER WE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP THE TRUCK STILL DIDN'T PERFORM LIKE IT SHOULD HAVE FOR A 2 YEAR OLD DUALLY WITH LESS THAN 100,000 MILES ON IT. AROUND 1 YEAR AGO, WE WERE DRIVING AND SUDDENLY WERE ABLE TO SMELL AN EXTREMELY FOUL SMELL COMING FROM UNDER THE DASHBOARD, UPON FURTHER EXAMINATION WE DISCOVERED THAT THE ANTI FREEZE WAS LEAKING FROM SOMEWHERE AND ENTERING THE PASSENGER FLOOR BOARD. AFTER THIS OCCURRED IT SEEMED AS IF THE TRUCK ITSELF JUST STARTED TO FALL APART. BOTH BATTERIES HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED COUNTLESS TIMES AS WELL. THE RADIO AND A/C DO NOT WORK AND THE HEATER DOESN'T COME CLOSE TO GETTING HOT.
