NHTSA Complaint #11715477 — 2016 RAM 1500

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Factory Air Suspension on 2016 RAM Rebel V8 5.7L Right Front broken elbow How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The right front broken elbow is causing my entire rear end of truck to sag to near ground level, leaving the front up high. It is making for dangerous driving condition not only for the driver, but for others as well. Truck bottoms out on the slight bump on the highway making for unstable driving, front head light up high cause issues for other drivers in front of me. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. Confirmed at Jim Click RAM, Tucson Auto mall , Tucson AZ. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? The vehicle has only been inspected by the dealership, but I am ready to go to my attorney, to get this fixed the right way. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? This broken $10 part (elbow) is causing the computer system to list multiple error codes for the air suspension. The dealership is telling me they cannot find the part anywhere in the United States and is on back order. They refuse to use a third party part and it must be an official Mopar part or they will not fix my vehiclle. Meanwhile I have to drive to work every morning and this broken air suspension will eventually damage the rest of my vehicle the longer it waits to be repaired the right way. Like I said above I am ready to sit with my attorney to discuss the matter and to track the progress for resolving this issue.
