Consumer Description

WHILE WORKING UNDER THE TRUCK THE AIR SUSPENSION FAILED CAUSING THE TRUCK TO DROP. I HAVE ALSO BEEN DRIVING THE TRUCK AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON THE FRONT OR REAR DRIVERS AIR BAG DEFLATES ALMOST CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALER WHO STATED WITH THE COLD WEATHER THERE ARE MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THE 2013 AND 2014 RAM AIR SUSPENSION FAILING. HE ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS A NEWER COMPRESSOR INSTALLED IN NEWER TRUCKS ALONG WITH BETTER COMPONENTS THAT SOLVED THE ISSUE. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 72000 MILES ON THE TRUCK WITH A REPEATED AIR SUSPENSION FAILURE IN THE 45DAYS I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE.
