2014 RAM 1500 Electrical System Problems

CANNOT PUT IT TO WORK IT WILL NOT HAUL A TRAILER, CAN'T DRIVE BECAUSE IT WILL TURN OFF IN BUMPY ROADS, BEEN MARKING ' SHIFT TO DESIRE GEAR TO DRIVE' WE HAVE BEEN FIGHTING WITH PEOPLE FROM THE AGENCY ( DON DAVIS ) AND THEY SAY THEY CANNOT FIND PROBLEMS. CHANGED SHIFT CRAGTER TWICE, NO LUCK! I TOOK IT WITH THE ENGINGE LIKE TURNED ON AND CAN'T SEEM TO FIND A 'CODE' THE TRUCK STARTS SHAKING UP BEFORE IT TURNS OFF COMPLETELY. IT'S A MATTER OF SAFETY FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY.

REAR LEFT TAILLIGHT TURN SIGNAL(BLINKER) WENT OUT. CHECKED WITH DEALERSHIP IN GLADSTONE OREGON AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE OVER 300 TAILLIGHTS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS MINE WITHIN THE SAME DISTRIBUTION AREA AS THE PORTLAND, OR AREA. THIS SHOULD LIKE A PROBLEM ONCE AGAIN AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE

WHEN YOU PUT THE BRAKES ON THE THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD DIM DOWN TO VERY DIM WHEN THE BRAKE IS RELEASED THEY COME BACK UP.

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND OFF (ALONG WITH THE ACCOMPANYING "DING"). I THINK THERE IS A SHORT IN THE WIRING UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT. WHENEVER I GO OVER BIG BUMPS IT SEEMS TO CAUSE THE ISSUE MORE OFTEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED, BUT WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VANCAMPEN MOTORS INC. (601 W 3RD ST, WILLIAMSPORT, PA 17701, (570) 326-0567), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE AT THE DEALER (COLUMBIANA DODGE CHRYSLER, 100 COMMERCE CIRCLE, COLUMBIANA, OH 44404), THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED OF AN UNKNOWN RECALL FOR HER VEHICLE. THE DEALER ALSO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED AN ELECTRONIC COMPUTER BOX SENSOR ASSEMBLY AND A FUEL PUMP RELAY CIRCUIT BOARD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN INFORMATION WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

TRUCK TOOK BRIEF PERIODS WHERE IT WOULD JUST SUDDENLY DIE GOING DOWN THE ROAD, THEN THE LAST TIME RUNNING ABOUT 60 MPH, IT DIED NOT FAR FROM HOME AND SMOKE BILLOWED OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD WAFTING ITS WAY INSIDE THE CAB...SON-IN-LAW FOUGHT THE STEERING AND MANAGED TO BRING IT TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD...WITH MY GRANDDAUGHTERS IN THE BACK SEAT....THEY WERE ALMOST OVERCOME BY THIS BLACK OBNOXIOUS SMOKE AND BOTH SUFFERED FOR THE LONGEST TIME A HARSH, DRY COUGH...I NOTICED THERE ARE LIMITED RECALLS ON THIS MODEL OF TRUCK AND NONE SEEM TO BE RELATED TO ELECTRICAL FIRES UNDER THE HOOD...HOW EVER THESE VEHICLES ARE UNSAFE AND POSE A SIGNIFICANT HAZARD TO ALL THE MOTORING PUBLIC...THEY SHOULD BE RECALLED AND ALL OF THEM DESTROYED TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC AND THE PASSENGERS...DEALERSHIP SATED THE 'BRAIN BOX AND STARTER BURNED UP' AND IS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE...BUT...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SHIFTED TO THE PARK POSITION. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE IN WHICH ALL OF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. A DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 38,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

LESS THAN 100K MILES, 4 ISSUES STARTED, 1-FUEL LEVEL SENSOR 2- SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM 3- ANTI LOCK BRAKES SYSTEM - CRUSE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK.

PARKING SENSORS GO OFF WITH NOTHING IN FRONT, WHEN WET. THERE WAS A STAR CLASS ON THIS. THEY EXCHANGED THE SENSORS LEFT TO RIGHT. THE ISSUE FOLLOWED THE SENSORS. DEALER WANTS TO HAVE THE VEHICLE WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURS, AS THEY CAN NOT REPLICATE IN SHOP. WHEN IT HAPPENS, I CAN'T GET TO SHOP. HAS BEEN IN SHOP MULTIPLE TIMES. NOW VEHICLE IS OUT OF REGULAR WARRANTY, BUT STILL ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED.

ON 11/22/17 AT AROUND 5PM DRIVING EAST BOUND ON I-76 IN PENNSYLVANIA OUR 2014 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL ENGINE CAUGHT ON FIRE. AS I TRIED TO STOP I REALIZED I HAD NO BRAKES. WE SLOWED TO A STOP AS WE STARTED UP A HILL, I PUT IT IN PARK AND WE ALL GOT OUT JUST IN TIME. A CERTIFIED CHRYSLER MECHANIC HAD JUST 2 DAYS EARLIER FINISHED INSTALLING A NEW ENGINE. BOTH THE DEALERSHIP & CHRYSLER HAVE DENIED ALL OWNERSHIP AND NO ROOT CAUSE EVALUATION HAS BEEN COMPLETED. I BELIEVE A FUEL LINE FAILED DUE TO FAULTY WORKMANSHIP, BUT WITHOUT A THIRD PARTY INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION I GUESS WE WILL NEVER KNOW AND SOME OTHER CUSTOMER MAY EXPERIENCE THE SAME THING.

INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS BLINKING ON AND OFF WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION

VEHICLE RECENTLY PASSED 3YR/36K WARRANTY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND "FUEL LEVEL SENSOR" FAILURE CODE INTERMITTENTLY FLASH ON AND OFF AGAIN. WHEN ACTIVE, I LOSE ALL FUEL GAUGE FUEL LEVEL INDICATION. I NOTE THAT THERE ARE OTHER NHTSA COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND SEE MANY ONLINE FORUM DISCUSSIONS ABUT THIS. THE FUEL SENSOR FAILURE COMES ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE WARNING IS DISTRACTING TO NORMAL DRIVING, AS IT TAKES YOUR ATTENTION OFF THE ROAD TO CHECK AND SEE WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE VEHICLE, NOT KNOWING IF THIS IS A NEW FAILURE, A TIRE PRESSURE ISSUE, OR SOMETHING ELSE. I WOULD LIKE NHTSA TO LOOK AND SEE IF THIS IS A BROADER ISSUE THAT NEEDS A RECALL / MANUFACTURER REPAIR.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SMELLED BURNING, ANOTHER CAR PULLED ALONG SIDE AND YELLED "YOU ARE ON FIRE" AFTER STOPPING THE TRUCK I WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES UNDER THE ENGINE BY APPLYING DRY POWDER FIRE EXTINGISHER INTO THE OPEN HOOD. LATER INVESTIGATION BY A CHRYLSER HIRED INVESTIGATOR INDICATED THE STARTER CABLE SHORT CIRCUITED TO A SHARP BRACKET ATTACHED TO THE FRAME CAUSING THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS TO CATCH FIRE. IN MY OPINION CHRYLSER IS DRAGGING THEIR FEET IN AUTHORIZING A WARRANTY REPAIR

VEHICLE PANEL LIGHTS STAYING ON WITHOUT KEY IN VEHICLE DRAINING BATTERY. HAS BEEN TO DEALER 4 TIMES FOR SAME ISSUE. TODAY, VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 13 MPH, AFTER PULLING OUT ONTO MAIN STREET FROM HOME. WAS ABLE TO TURN AROUND & RETURN HOME SAFELY, NOW VEHICLE AT DEALER FOR 5TH TIME FOR THIS NEW ISSUE PLUS DEAD BATTERY FROM PANEL LIGHTS.

TRUCK LOST ALL ABS BREAK CONTROLS, SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING AND VEHICLE BECAME STUCK IN PARK. THE ABS MODULE AND ABS MOTOR WERE SATURATED IN WATER. FOUND RECALL ON DODGE JOURNEY WHICH MATCHES MY ISSUE. SEEMS LIKE RAM NEEDS TO LOOK INTO ISSUE. TRUCK HAS 44246 MILES

DRIVING ALONG AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE "THROTTLE CONTROL SENSOR" LIGHT COMES ON FOR A QUICK SECOND, THEN GOES OFF, AND "ENGINGE LIGHT" GOES ON. WITHING SECONDS, THE TRUCK LOSES POWER, GIVING YOU LITTLE TO NO TIME TO PREPARE AND REACT. IT HAS HAPPENED IN L.A. ON FRWY WITH LOADS OF TRAFFIC, IT'S SO DANGEROUS TRYING TO GET OVER TO THE SIDE WITHOUT BEING KILLED! IT HAS HAPPENED 2 TIIMES WHILE IN TOW MODE PULLING TRAILERS, AGAIN SO DANGEROUS WHEN SUDDENLY YOU HAVE NO POWER. ONCE WHILE PULLING HORSES IN THE TRAILER, ON AN UP-HILL, WITH CARS BEHIND ME AND NO WHERE TO PULL OVER (NO SHOULDER). SO UNSAFE, I WAS BADLY SHAKEN OVER THAT ONE WITH MY HORSES IN TOW. SO THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES TO US, DODGE HAS HAD IN SHOP 4 TIMES AND CANNOT FIX. IT IS TERRIFING TO BE GOING ALONG AND HAVE YOUR POWER CUT...

MY TRUCKS 'SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL' LIGHT (LIGHTNING BOLT) COMES ON BOTH WHEN STARTING MY VEHICLE AND WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE. WHEN IT COMES ON WHEN I TRY TO START THE TRUCK, IT WONT CHANGE OUT OF THE GEAR IT IS IN (IE I CANT GO FASTER THAN 15-18MPH). IT SOMETIMES GOES OFF IF I TURN THE ENGINE ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES. THE MORE DANGEROUS TIMING OF IT IS WHEN THE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE I'M DRIVING.THIS EITHER CAUSES ME TO DOWNSHIFT INTO A LOWER GEAR WHICH THROWS ME FORWARD AND REVS THE ENGINE IN EXCESS OF 3000RPM, OR WHILE I AM STOPPED, THE RPMS CLIMB WITHOUT ANY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. IF I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE WHILE THIS HAPPENS, I ACCELERATE FORWARD EITHER UP TO 18MPH OR 30MPH DEPENDING WHICH GEAR IT IS 'STUCK' IN. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO ONE LOCAL RAM DEALER 6...

SHIFTER KNOB HAS SLIPPED OR CHANGED GEARS WHILE MOVING OR STANDING IDLE. OTHER TIMES IT WILL NOT SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR IE: REVERSE. ALSO DASH LIGHTS FLICKER AT TIMES, AND AT TIMES WILL NOT TURN OFF PARKING LIGHTS KILLING THE BATTERY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST 2 MONTHS.

TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) FAILURE. DEALERSHIP FAILS TO HONOR VEHICLE WARRANTY AND IS NOT REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE PART UNDER FULL BUMPER WARRANTY. THIS 1 PART CAUSES MANY ISSUES TO THE ENTIRE VEHICLE AND MAJOR ROAD SAFETY ISSUES. I HAVE TRIED MANY ATTEMPTS WITH DEALER AND MANUFACTURER DIRECTLY TO HAVE THIS WARRANTY PART REPAIRED AND THEY FAIL TO HONOR SUCH REPAIRS. I SEE ONLINE THAT THIS EXACT PART HAS MANY KNOWN ISSUES AND PROBLEMS FOR MANY SIMILAR PEOPLE. THIS 1 PART AFFECTS ALL PROBLEMS ABOVE BECAUSE ALL THESE PARTS ARE ELECTRICALLY CONTROLLED.

ON MAY 24, 2017, WHILE DRIVE AT A SPEED OF 65 MPH WESTBOUND ON INTERSTATE 84 IN MIDDLEBURY, CT, OUR 2014 RAM 1500 COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN. NO WARNING LIGHTS FLASHED AND WE WERE LEFT WITH NO POWER. BY THE GRACE OF GOD WE WERE ABLE TO COAST THROUGH TWO LANES OF HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN THE TRUCK BACK ON. CT STATE POLICE (OFFICER RIVERA) WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE. THE TRUCK SAT FOR APPROX. 45 MINUTES AND THEN WE TRIED THE EXTRA KEY WE WERE CARRYING. THE SECOND KEY TURNED THE TRUCK BACK ON AND WE PROCEEDED HOME. ONCE HOME WE TRIED THE FIRST KEY AND IT ALSO NOW WORKED. WE TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE RAM DEALERSHIP (FRANKLIN SUSSEX AUTOMALL, SUSSEX NJ) AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. THIS WAS A LIFE THREATENING EXPERIENCE AND FELT IT SHOULD...

THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES....AFTER I HAVE DRIVEN MY TRUCK PUT IT IN PARK SHUT THE KEY OFF I CANT GET THE KEY OUT ...I HAVE TO START BACK UP PUT TRUCK IN DRIVE AGAIN AND SHUT IT OFF AGAIN TO GET KEY OUT

STOPPED FOR GAS THEN DROVE 100 FEET TO STORE. TEN MINUTES LATER TRUCK HAD NO ELECTRICAL POWER, HAD TO USE KEY TO OPEN DOOR. ENTIRE SYSTEM SHUT DOWN. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DODGE DEALER THEY DIAGNOSED BAD WINN IGNITION MODULE TRUCK ONLY HAD 38,000 MILES ON IT. SAME THING HAPPENED AT 35,600 MILES AND DEALERSHIP REPLACED BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR. THIS PROBLEM CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME EVEN WHEN DRIVING ACCORDING TO OTHER REMARKS. I TOLD SERVICE TECH THAT A COUPLE TIMES A WEEK THE KEY WILL NOT ENGAGE ON FIRST TRY BUT THEN WILL START VEHICLE AND THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS. HE SAID THAT IS AN INDICATION OF THE MODULE GOING BAD. I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOW AT 36,000 MILES OR LESS. I WILL SUBMIT REPAIR ORDERS TO DODGE TO BE REIMBURSED (LOL).

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WE HAVE HAD TO HAVE SOMETHING FIXED ON THE ABS AND TRAC LIGHT REPAIRED. THEY HAD TO REPAIR THE WIRE AND REPLACE WIRE CONNECTOR, THEN CLEAR CODE FOR US. IS THERE OTHER PEOPLE HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS? THE MILAGE IS ONLY 26414 AND THE VEHICLE IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CRASH AVOIDANCE SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SENSORS IN THE FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. UPDATED 06/01/17*LJ *CN

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS COME ON STATING THAT THERE WAS HIGH VOLTAGE ON THE FUEL SENSOR AS WELL AS HAD MY FUEL GAUGE STOP WORKING AND MY CLUSTER READ FUEL SENSOR FAIL. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A DEAD SPOT IN THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR AND THE PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED BUT WON'T COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY. THIS HAPPENS NOW EVERY TIME MY FUEL GAUGE GETS TO 1/2 A TANK AND GOES OFF WHEN I GET UNDER A 1/4 TANK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED ELECTRICAL FAILURES WHILE DRIVING OR STARTING THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD NO TRAILER BRAKE, TRACTION CONTROL, OR CENTER CONSOLE FUNCTIONALITY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIO CAUSED THE ELECTRICAL SHORT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE RADIO WAS REPLACED FIVE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 36,000.

ALL OF THE FOLLOWING IN THIS REVIEW HAPPENS AT ALL TIMES. WHEN IN MOTION, STATIONARY, ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS AND ALL TIMES OF DAY AND NIGHT. OVERHEAD CONSOLE ON TRUCK WHERE LED COURTESY MAP/READING LIGHTS HAVE ISSUES. LIGHT FLICKERS AND DIMS WHEN ON. IT MAKES INTERIOR VISIBILITY NEAR IMPOSSIBLE. UPON INSPECTING THE UNIT THE WIRING GOING TO THE LIGHTS AND SUN ROOM ARE CHAFFED AND POSE AS A FIRE HAZARD AND OR EQUIPMENT FAILURE IF SHORTAGE OCCURS. REAR THIRD BRAKE LIGHT SEAL DETERIORATES AND LETS WATER INTO THE CAB. THIS CAN RUST OUT FLOORING AND CAUSES MOLD ISSUES. RUINS LEATHER SEATS. ALSO CAN DETERIORATE SEAT BELTS POSSIBLY AS WELL AS RUST OR CAUSE WEAKNESS IN SEATBELTS FOR REAR PASSENGERS. WILL SEVERELY DAMAGE AND/OR STAIN INTERIOR ROOFING, CARPET, SEAT BELTS AND/OR SEATS. *TR

AFTER DRIVING MY TRUCK ALL DAY .. I CAME HOME AND AFTER 3 HOURS I WANTED TO GO TO THE GYM BUT MY TRUCK WOULD NOT TURN OVER.. I HAD TO GET A JUMP START BUT IT NEVER CHARGED AND WOULDN'T START ONCE AGAIN... *TR

I HAD A BIG RAIN STORM ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO THAT BROUGHT AROUND 8 INCHES OF RAIN INTO MY AREA. THERE WAS A FACTORY DEFECT WITH THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT AND SATELLITE RADIO ANTENNA SEALS THAT ALOUD WATER TO ENTER THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. EVERYTHING IN THE CAB OF THE TRUCK WAS SOAKED. I HAD 6 INCHES ON STANDING WATER IN THE COMPARTMENTS. WHEN I DROVE THE TRUCK AFTER 3 DAYS OF RAINING WATER BEGAN TO POUR OUT FROM THE HEADLINER ONTO THE DASHBOARD. DODGE REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING WITH THE RAM BECAUSE IT WAS 700 MILES OUT OF THE WARRANTY. A WEEK AFTER THE STORM, I STARTED THE RAM TO WARM UP ONE MORNING AND WHEN I WENT TO GET IN THE TRUCK EVERY WARNING LIGHT WAS ON, IT WAS BEEPING, I COULD TO SHIFT IT INTO GEAR NOR COULD I TURN THE TRUCK OFF. ONCE I STEPPED...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP IT ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING INDICATORS AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTING ILLUMINATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND COMPUTER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. UPDATED 02/14/17*LJ *CN

I'VE OWNED 4 CHRYSLER/DODGE VEHICLES 98 AVENGER, 99 RAM 1500, 03 300 M AND NOW 2014 RAM 1500 WHICH EVERYONE HAS HAD ELECTRICAL ISSUES. I HAVE NOT PUT MONEY INTO MY NEW TRUCK YET BUT HAVE PUT THOUSANDS INTO OTHER VEHICLES BEFORE I SOLD THEM FOR LESS THAN BLUE BOOK JUST TO BE RID OF ALL THE ISSUES. I BOUGHT MY CURRANT TRUCK NEW IN JUNE 2014, I FIRST BEGAN NOTICING GLITCHES LATE SUMMER 2015 AND NOW THERE ARE ELECTRIC SURGES, FAULT INDICATORS THAT ARE FINE AND LIGHTS WILL NOT SHUT OFF KILLING MY BATTERY. I BOUGHT NEW THIS TIME ASSUMING I WOULD ELIMINATE THESE ISSUES BUT I WAS WRONG, MY TRUCK HAS HAD NO ACCIDENTS OF ANY SORT AND YET I HAVE A $35,000 TRUCK THAT'S UNRELIABLE AS WELL AS UNSAFE. DURNING MY RESEARCH CHRYSLER HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS ISSUE FOR DECADES AND SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR...

THEIRS A LOT OF RECALLS THEY DON'T FIX THEM AND I'M SCARE OF DRIVING THE TRUCK.

SINCE I PURCHASED MY RAM, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF AS IF PLEASES AND RANDOMLY IT WILL TELL ME FUEL SENSOR FAIL. THIS COMES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY BUT LATELY IT HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE A TRIP.

ALL BUTTONS ON FRONT RIGHT SIDE OF STEERING WHEEL (CRUISE CONTROL, GEAR+/-) HAVE COMPLETELY STOPPED FUNCTIONING. VEHICLE HAS 44,000 MILES, STEERING WHEEL WIRE HARNESS WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPLACED A YEAR AGO UNDER RECALL

I STARTED THE TRUCK AND NOTICED THAT THE CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL FOR THE RADIO AND BLUE TOOTH DID NOT WORK. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE HORN DID NOT WORK. I CAN NOT SCROLL THROUGH THE INFORMATION CENTER TO CHECK THE TIRE PRESSURE, SPEED, OIL LIFE OR ANY OTHER ITEMS IN THE INFORMATION CENTER. I ALSO DO NOT KNOW IF THIS ISSUE AFFECTS THE AIR BAG BEING ABLE TO DEPLOY. I CAN NOT RESET THE OIL LIFE AFTER I CHANGE THE OIL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V517000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER MORE THAN THREE TIMES AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS AVAILABLE. WHEN THE CONTACT ARRIVED AT THE DEALER FOR THE REPAIR, SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED. THE DEALER DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE HEADLIGHTS BLINK (AS IF YOU ARE ON A BUMPY ROAD). TOOK TO MACK GRUBBS/COLUMBIA, MS FOR A RECALL ISSUE AND HAD THEM TO LOOK AT LIGHTS. THEY TOLD ME THEY SEE THAT IN A LOT OF THOSE MODEL TRUCKS. I PICKED UP MY TRUCK FROM THE RECALL REPAIR AND WAS INFORMED I OWED $40 FOR DIAGNOSIS OF THE HEAD LIGHT ISSUE AND THAT IT WOULD BE $180 PLUS TAX AND LABOR TO REPAIR THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THE SAME TO REPAIR THE DRIVER SIDE. THAT IS WAS A WIRING HARNESS ISSUE. THE SERVICE MAN TOLD ME AND MY HUSBAND THAT THE IS VERY COMMON IN THE RAM TRUCKS. 1) THAT SHOULD MEAN A RECALL. 2) OUR TRUCK WAS IN OUR POSSESSION EXACTLY 2 YEARS, 1 DAY WHEN WE DROPPED IT OFF FOR THE RECALL ISSUE TO BE FIXED (WHICH WAS ABOUT A WEEK AFTER I...

AIR BAG LIGHT KEPT COMING ON. SEEN RECALL ON MY VEHICLE(15V-459), IN REGARD TO WIRE HARNESS CAUSING SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE DEALER NOW STATE THAT THE WIRE HARNESS TO THE AIRBAG HAS SHORTED OUT UNDER THE SEAT. COSTING APPROXIMATELY $401.00. COULD THIS BE CAUSED BY THE RECALL ON 2014 DODGE RAM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHEN THE TRAILER LIGHTS WERE PLUGGED INTO THE OUTLET, THEY FAILED TO OPERATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

AT A RED LIGHT ENGINE IDEAL WENT FROM 800 RPM TO 1500 RPM THEN BACK TO 800 RPM.AFTER GREEN LIGHT STARTED TO DRIVE THEN THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE LIGHT CAME ON. UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION OF THE TRUCK HAPPEN COULD NOT SHUT THE ENGINE OFF OR GET THE TRANSMISSION OUT OF DRIVE HAD TO BRAKE VERY HARD AND APPLY PARKING BRAKE TO STOP THE TRUCK. HAD THE WARNING LIGHT FOR ELECTRIC THROTTLE ON THE PANEL FINALLY THE LIGHT WENT OUT AND THE THROTTLE RESPOND NORMALLY. HEADED HOME WHEN THE SAME HAPPEN AGAIN WITH SAME RESULTS NEARLY HAD A ACCIDENT FROM THIS. THEN THE LIGHT WENT OUT WITH TEMPORARY LOST OF BRAKES AND CONTROL OF THE TRUCK.THEN THE THROTTLE RESPONDED NORMALLY UNTIL I GOT HOME AND BUT THE TRUCK INTO PARK THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON ENGINE RPM ACCELERATED TO 2500 RPM UNTIL I COULD TURN THE ENGINE OFF.

THE RADIO CONTROLS SO MUCH OF THE VEHICLE COMPONENTS AND SYSTEMS AND I AM NOW ON MY THIRD RADIO UNIT AND STILL HAVE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND NOT SURE IF THIS IS RELATED. FUSES BLOWNING, BULBS BLOWING, ETC.

PURCHASED THIS TRUCK IN DECEMBER 2014. THE MILEAGE IS 23,800 AS OF 4/7/2016 DATE MILES PROBLEM 2/7/15 2245 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON (GRILL SHUTTER BROKE) 2/17/15 2756 SOFTWARE UPDATE NEEDED ON TRANSMISSION 10/24/15 15992 AIRBAG RECALL 1/16/16 19975 IDLER PULLEY STARTED SQUEALING (REPLACED) 4/7/16 23,800 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON OIL PRESSURE SENSOR BAD (REPLACED)

NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, BLOWING FUSES, BLOWING LIGHT BULBS, AND RADIO ISSUES. I HAD TO REPLACE THREE FUSES AND HAVE ONLY HAD THE BRAND NEW VEHICLE DESPITE IT WAS ON THE DEALERS LOT WITH 5 MILES ON IT WHEN I TEST DROVE IT. IN A YEARS TIME I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ONE HEAD LIGHT BUILD, ONE RIGHT BRAKE TAIL LIGHT BULB. HAD TO REPLACE THE THREE BRAKE LIGHT DUE TO LEAKING. I AM GETTING READY TO HAVE THE THIRD RADIO REPLACED BY DEALER. THE DEALER HAS HAD TO ALSO WORK ON THE REAR WINDOW TWICE WHICH WAS LEAKING SEVERALLY, AND THE DEALER HAS ALSO REPLACED THE SHARK FIN SATELLITE ANTENNA ONCE. I AM ALSO STARTING TO SEE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW MOVING ROUGHLY NOT SMOOTH AS OTHERS THREE WINDOWS STILL ARE SMOOTH OPERATION. I HAVE ALSO HAD FIVE RECALLS SERVICED AND ASSUMED TO HAVE BEEN FIXED OR MAYBE THEY ARE CAUSING...

RECEIVED NOTICE ON 9/3/2015 ABOUT EXHAUST HIGH FREQUENCY DECOUPLER AND NOTICE ON 10/9/2015 FOR BATTERY WIRE HARNESS. THE DEALER SAYS THEY DON'T HAVE PARTS. I RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE ON 1/20/2016 FOR SAME TWO PROBLEMS. DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE NO PARTS. ITS BEEN SEVEN MONTHS AND NO WORD ON PARTS.
