2015 RAM 1500 Electrical System Problems

Malfunctioning TIPM causing lights to flash, horn to blow, doors lock and unlock and windows roll down for no apparent reason. The last time the windows opened in a rain shower soaking inside and killing the battery.

Went to go start the truck one morning and when I got in the truck as soon as I exceeded over 7 MPH it says to service the ABS system and the trailer brake system. I turned off the truck and started it again and it said the system was reporting fine. As soon as I went over 7 MPH again it said to service the abs again. I feel this may be a safety issue because it’s a component that’s needed for every vehicle like mines in the event I need to brake hard to avoid an accident. I can’t have the system say there’s an issue and say it’s ok the next time I start the vehicle.

When I leave my vehicle off for a few days the battery will drain and I come to a vehicle with no power to start the vehicle. I did some research online and found out people are saying it is the TIPM commanding the fuel pump to stay on even with they key set to off. I can confirm this fuel pump has to be on because some days my vehicle will take longer to start. I did my own investigation of the matter and found out it’s not my starter or no engine related components as well as lights that can drain a battery. I feel like Mopar should of discovered this and do a recall on this issue because someone can also have the same issue.

Electronic fuel sensor failed at 47k miles. Sensor contact wears away from friction and falsely reports a empty tank, when fuel is present. Vehicle operator has no idea how much fuel is in the tank at any time. Thousands of testimonials online of the same issue. Ramforum.com, ramforumz.com and Youtube.com all have complaints and how to videos.

POWER STEERING FAILURE, NEED TO STRONG ARM AND MUSCLE IT IN ORDER TO MAKE TURN AT LOWER SPEEDS, VERY HARD TO TURN INCREASING RISK OF CRASH, DEALER SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR STEERING AT THIS TIME. NO WARNINGS NO MESSAGE AND THIS STARTED SEPTEMBER 5TH 2021. FELT ODD AT FIRST WHEN TRUCK GRABBED THE ROAD WHEN TURNING AND HAS GOTTEN MUCH WORSE WITH TIME.TRUCK HAS 80000 MILES

I was driving on the Interstate when a electronic short warning light come on, I pulled over on the shoulder of the road and my engine quit and smoke started to come from the engine. I opened the hood and the engine was on fire. I emptied my cooler, all the bottles of water I had and Cokes and managed to put the fire out with out damage to any thing or any one other than the engine, windshield and hood. Dealer does not want to take responsibility, oil cooler seems to be the source of the fire. Oil sprayed on to the fire blanket on the hood kept burning after the main fire was extinguished. My truck was running fine prier to the fire, I have been waiting for a replacement tone wheel (recall # W58) for 6 months. I have had the EGR (recall #VB1) go out twice...

THE RECALL FOR THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR TONE WHEEL MAY DELAMINATE FALLS SHORT OF CORRECTING THE PROBLEM. MINE DELAMINATED AND IT COST ME $2600 FOR THE REPAIR AT THE DEALER IN GILROY CA. BESIDE LEAVING US STRANDED ON A REMOTE SECTION OF HIGHWAY WITH THE TRAVEL TRAILER WE WERE TOWING. WE PAID $250 FOR TOWING THE TRUCK AND THE TRAILER AND $1000 TO RENT A CAR WHILE THE DEALER WAITED TO DIAGNOSE THE ORDER PARTS AND FINALLY TO REPAIR. AFTER PICKING UP THE TRUCK THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT AN HOUR DOWN THE ROAD TOWARD HOME. AFTER I GOT HOME I TALKED TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THE TRUCK JUST TURNED OVER 120000 MILES JUST BEFORE GETTING TO THE DEALER SO EVEN THOUGH THE ISSUE HAPPENED BEFORE THE MILES HIT 120000 THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WOULD NOT BE COVER BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS PART OF THE...

2015 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL CREW CAB. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE VEHICLE WILL AUTOMATICALLY SHIFT INTO PARK. THE SHIFT KNOB LIGHTS UP ALL LIGHTS AND THEN WILL SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK. ALL DOORS ARE CLOSED AND VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I HAVE HAVE TO TURN THE SHIFT KNOB INTO PARK SOMETIMES THE SHIFT KNOB WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO TURN IT TO PARK. ONLY WAY TO RESOLVE THIS SITUATION WHEN IT OCCURS IS TO TURN THE VEHICLE IGNITION OFF THEN RESTART. THIS HAPPENS ON A REGULAR BASIS. ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT NUMEROUS TIMES. ALSO WHEN THIS OCCURS THE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL COME ON AND STAY ON. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.

FIRST WEEK OF DECEMBER 2020, I HAD A NORMAL OIL CHANGE. THE FOLLOWING DAY MY RAM IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. IT WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE BATTERY (EVEN THOUGH THE BATTERY WAS ONLY A YEAR OLD). FOUND MY RAM VIN HAD LONG LIST OF OPEN RECALLS. I CONTACTED DEALERSHIP. PROVIDED WITH LOANER. SERVICE ADVISER SAID TRUCK WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE EGR RECALL. A COUPLE HUNDRED MORE MILES, A FIRE ENGINE WOULD HAVE ENSUED. MY EGR HAD COMPLETELY FAILED, COOLANT HAD GOTTEN INTO MY INTAKE. PARTS WERE BACKORDERED BECAUSE MANUFACTURING OF MODS JUST BEGAN. 12/24/20 ALL RECALL MODS/REPAIRS COMPLETED. DEALERSHIP ADVISED TRUCK WAS SAFE AND OPERABLE. RECEIVED FCAS EXTENDED LIMITED WARRANTY. 2 WEEKS LATER COOLANT/WATER LEAKING FROM UNDERNEATH. FOUND THE COOLANT LEVELS DROPPED. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP, SERVICE AT THAT TIME COULD NOT FIND LEAK. TOLD TO RECHECK IN...

MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. IF I WARMED THE TRUCK UP AND SHIFT IT OFF, THEN RESTARTED IT THE STEERING WOULD WORK AGAIN. THEN THE VEHICLES STEERING WOULD GO OUT WHILE DRIVING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON AND THEN THE STEERING LIGHT. NOW THE POWER STEERING DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. I AM TOLD FROM A MECHANIC WHO HOOKED UP TO MY COMPUTER THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY RARE INCIDENT FOR A TRUCK SO YOUNG. AT THIS TIME I AM BEING TOLD IT IS NOT A RECALL BUT IT CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE A RECALL TO ME. THE POWER STEERING WOULD GO OUT WHILE DRIVING ON A ROAD OR HIGHWAY GOING STRAIGHT OR TURNING. *TR

MY DODGE RAM 1500 ECO DIESEL CAUGHT ON FIRE YESTERDAY AND BURNT UP. THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT FOR THE SEIDEL EGR COOLER

THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING DOWN THE ROAD AS I'M DRIVING THE TRUCK JUST LOOSES ALL POWER CUTS OFF AND I HAVE TO JERK IT TO SIDE OF THE ROAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. IT'S THE TONE WHEEL FOR CRANKSHAFT AND CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR. AND WHEN TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP THEY HAVE NO PARTS TO FIX MY TRUCKS AND I WAS GIVEN A CASE WORKER WITH FCA OR DODGE AND THEY CAN'T GET THE PARTS IT'S BEEN 3 MONTHS.

DUE TO A FAULTY BRAKE LAMP/CARGO LAMP, WATER LEAKED IN AND CAUSED DAMAGED TO THE HEADLINER AND MADE UPPER BRAKE LAMP/CARGO LAMP INOPERABLE. $2400 TO REPAIR HEADLINER AND LAMP. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN WATER ENTERED INTO MY TRUCK CAUSING DAMAGE

THE TRUCK WAS STARTED AND MOVED FROM ONE SIDE OF THE DRIVEWAY AND MOVED TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DRIVEWAY. THE TRUCK WAS TURNED OFF AFTER BEING MOVED. ABOUT 20 MINUTES AFTER THE TRUCK WAS TURNED OFF IT WAS FOUND ON FIRE. THE TRUCK WAS COMPLETELY ENGULFED AT THAT POINT AND HAD ALSO CAUGHT THE FRONT OF THE GARAGE ON FIRE. THE TRUCK WAS A COMPLETE LOSS AND THE FRONT OF THE GARAGE HAD SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE.*DT*JB

MY VECHICLE RECENTLY DID NOT START JUST GOT A DEAD CLICK WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED WITH A JUMP START BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECK THEY TOLD ME THERE NO CODES IN THE SYSTEM TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM ASKED ME TO LEAVE THE VECHICLE TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM REACCURED BUT IT DID NOT. 2 DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED I WAS 50 MILES FROM HOME I WAS ABLE TO GET VEHICLE STARTED TO IT TO THE DEALER GOT THE SAME DIAGNOSIS NO CODES AND THEY CAN DETERMINE THE CAUSE SO NOW I HAVE A VECHICLE THAT I DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL START WHEN I GET IN IT . I CALLED RAM CUSTOMER CARE AT 18009921997 AND WAS TOLD THE DEALER FOLLOWED THERE PROTOCOL AND WITH OUT CODES OR REPLICATION OF THE ISSUE IT CAN NOT BE FIXED. I FIND THAT TO BE...

MY VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 94. I WAS WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD TODDLER AND HAD TO WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK AND MY WIFE TO PICK US UP. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED BACK HOME TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC TO LOOK AND DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THE DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A CRANK SENSOR TONE RING. THEY ALSO NOTIFIED ME THERE WAS A RECALL COMING FOR THIS ISSUE. I CONTACTED FCA AND WAS DIRECTED TO TOW THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED DEALER. I TOWED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE DEALER AND THEY DETERMINED THE ISSUE IS THE SAME AS MY LOCAL MECHANIC DETERMINED. I AM ALSO BEING TOLD THERE IS CURRENTLY NOT A FIX FOR THIS PART, ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. FCA SAID THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR ANY OF THE TOWING AND DIAGNOSTICS. SINCE IT WAS THERE FAULTY PART THAT CAUSED...

WATER IS LEAKING INTO THE LEFT HEADLIGHT HOUSING WHICH CAUSES THE TURN SIGNAL TO MALFUNCTION, SIGNIFICANT FOGGING AND CONDENSATION IN THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY UNIT WHICH REDUCES VISIBILITY FROM THE HEADLIGHT AND CAUSES AN ERROR MESSAGE. THIS ISSUE IS CONSTANT SINCE IT BEGAN AND HAS NOT IMPROVED. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND IS A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OR MANUFACTURE OF THE VEHICLE.

THE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT THEN THE DEALER REPLACED IT TWO MONTHS LATER THE FUEL SENSOR GOES OUT AND THEY REPLACED IT TOTAL COST ON MY BEHALF WAS$340.00. WINDOW MOTOR ALSO WENT OUT DRIVER SIDE AND IT WAS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE IS FIVE YEARS OLD WITH 37,000 MILES WHY SO MANY ISSUES. WAS THERE A RECALL FOR ALL THIS PROBLEMS

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT 66700 MILES. THE FUEL GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY. THE WARNING BOX POPPED UP AND SAID FUEL SENSOR FAILURE. IT WAS ABOUT 3/4 FULL WHEN IT HAPPENED. ALSO WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE ECONOMIZER STOPPED WORKING. BASE ON A INTERNET SEARCH THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL MADE ON THE VEHICLES! THE FACT THAT YOU LOSE YOUR ECONOMIZER CAUSING INCREASED FUEL CONSUMPTION AND THERE BY WASTING GAS SHOULD SEND A WARNING FOR THIS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. THANK YOU FOR TIME. *TR

ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE DUE TO EGR SYSTEM OVERHEATING (MAYBE BURNING INTERNALLY) MELTING THEN SPONTANEOUSLY CATCHING FOAM RUBBER PAD ABOVE THE EGR DIFFUSER TUBE ON FIRE. RESULTED IN MELTING WIRES, HOSE AND OTHER PARTS ATTACHED TO ENGINE. WAS QUICKLY PUT OUT WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER. WAS DRIVING TO MENARDS IN NORMAL ILLINOIS AND SMELLED SMOKE AT FIRST STOP LIGHT, THOUGHT IT WAS VAN NEXT TO ME. AT NEXT STOP LIGHT SMELLED THE SMOKE AGAIN AND PULLED INTO MENARDS PARKING LOT. SAW LOTS OF SMOKE COMING OUT FROM UNDER HOOD. RAISED HOOD LOOKING FOR WHERE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM. SAW A SMALL FLAME, WENT TO BACK OF TRUCK AND TOOK OUT FIRE EXTINGUISHER. WENT TO FRONT OF TRUCK AND FLAME HAD TURNED TO FLAMES, EXTINGUISHED FIRE.

CAR STALLED LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING AND IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC.

THE LEFT HAND CONTROLS ON THE STEERING HAVE QUIT WORKING. THE IS NO WAY TO RESET THE OIL CHANGE ERROR AFTER CHANGING THE OIL. YOU CAN NOT USE ANY OF THE LEFT HAND CONTROLS.

AT 55,000 MILES, STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS STOPPED WORKING. ISSUE APPEARS TO BE A WORN OR FAULTY CLOCK SPRING.

TRUCK COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITHOUT WARNING, HAS EGR AND SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL, SERVICE EXHAUST, HAS OTHER RELATED ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT SHOWS UP AS CODES, REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND IT STILL SHOWS LOW FUEL PRESSURE AND TAKE SEVERAL SECONDS TO CRANK NOW AND MY FUEL MILEAGE IS DECREASED.

DRIVING ON I -29 AND WE SMELLED COMETHING LIKE ANTIFREEZE THEN SMOKE. TRUCK LOST POWER THEN GOT IT BACK AND WAS GOING TO TRY TO MAKE IT TO AN EXIT BUT PULLED OVER WHEN SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. OPENED THE HOOD AND SAW FIRE! CALLED 911 AND FIRE DEPT CAME BUT IN A MATTER ON MINUTES THE TRUCK BURNED UP COMPLETELY.

LEFT SIDE CONTROLS ON STEERING WHEEL HAVE QUITE WORKING. SUSPECT CLOCK SPRING ISSUE. NOT ABLE TO SWAP FROM SCREEN TO SCREEN OR CONTROL MOBILE PHONE WITHOUT HAVE TO TAKE EYES OFF THE ROAD.

AFTER V08/V11 RECALL WAS PERFORMED I NOW EXPERIENCE LOSS OF ACCELERATION TILL WARM UP. LIKE A DEAD PEDAL. ALSO A LOSS OF A CONFIRMED 5-6MPG. IT WAS STATED IN THE RECALL WE WOULD NOT LOOSE MILEAGE. IF WE DID IT WOULD BE VERY MINIMAL. 5MPG IS NOT MINIMAL. MY TRUCK WILL BARELY STAY IN 8TH GEAR NOW. JUST BOUNCING BETWEEN 7TH AND 8TH. NOW EVERYONE IS WORRIED ABOUT ALL THE FIRES DUE TO EGR VALVES STICKING OPEN AND CAUSING THE PLASTIC INTAKE MANIFOLDS TO CATCH FIRE. MY WIFE IS VERY NERVOUS TO TAKE IT ON TRIPS OR EVEN PARK IT IN THE GARAGE. WE HAD NEW SMOKE DETECTORS ADDED IN GARAGE INCASE TRUCK DOES CATCH ON FIRE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THESE ISSUES. THERE ARE MORE THAN YOU THINK. PEDAL ISSUE, LOSS OF FUEL MILEAGE, ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRES. THANKS

THE RADIO IN THE 2015 RAM TRUCKS HAS A LOT OF ISSUES. THE NAVIGATION WILL RANDOMLY GO OUT, THERE IS JO WAY TO FIX THE ISSUE, THE ISSUE FIXES ITS SELF IN TIME AND WITHOUT WARNING WILL GO OUT AGAIN. THE RADIO WILL NOT TURN ON AT TIMES, SO ALL CONTROLS THAT GO THROUGH THE RADIO ARE ALSO OUT. TO GET POWER TO COME BACK ON I HAVE TO TURN THE TRUCK ON AMD OFF SEVERAL TIMES. THE PART NUMBER FOR MY RADIO IS 1C6RR7NM1FS[XXX]. MY TRUCK IS A LARAMIE ECODIESEL MODEL. THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE RADIOS. RAM KNOWS OF THESE ISSUES BUT DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT, TREATS IT AS TOUGH LUCK. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

AFTER RECALL V08 /V11 UPDATES: SEVERLY DELAYED TROTTLE RESPONSE WHEN ACCELERATING. FROM A STOP TO ACTUAL THROTTLE RESPONDING TO 3/4 PRESSURE IS AT A MINIMUM OF 30-40 FEET.

I HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PROMPTED BY A FUEL SENSOR FAIL WARNING. AT TIMES WHEN THE TANK IS FULL THE LIGHT GOES OUT AND THE FUEL GAUGE WORKS. WHEN THE TANK GETS TO ABOUT 3/4 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY. I HAVE LOOKED IN SEVERAL REPAIR FORUMS AND HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM ON SEVERAL YEAR MODELS. FURTHERMORE, IT IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR COSTING ANYWHERE FROM ABOUT 700.00 TO 1,000.00 DOLLARS. IN THESE FORUMS MECHANICS ARE ADVISING NOT TO REPLACE THE SENSOR WITH MOPAR PARTS AS THE ISSUE WILL OCCUR AGAIN. OBVIOUSLY THESE ARE SUBSTANDARD OR DEFECTIVE PARTS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE SENSORS. TO ADD FURTHER FRUSTRATION, I CANNOT GET AN ANNUAL INSPECTION STICKER WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON.

2015 RAM ECO DIESEL. RECENTLY, RAM AND JEEP WERE INVOLVED IN "IN RE: CHRYSLER-DODGE-JEEP "ECODIESEL" MDL," WHICH RESOLVED LEGAL CLAIMS ASSERTING THAT THE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH FEDERAL AND STATE EMISSIONS REGULATIONS AND THAT FIAT CHRYSLER MADE MISREPRESENTATIONS TO CONSUMERS REGARDING THE VEHICLES. I PULLED THIS INFO FROM THE ECO DIESEL SETTLEMENT WEBSITE. IN RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE, CUSTOMERS WERE TO GET (3) THINGS; (1) V08 SOFTWARE UPDATE; (2) MONEY, DEPENDENT ON YOUR OWNERSHIP STATUS; AND (3) A 10 WARRANTY EXTENSION. I HAD THE V08 SOFTWARE UPDATE COMPLETED AT THE END OF MAY, 2019. SINCE THAT UPDATE, MY VEHICLE HAS HAD POOR PERFORMANCE WITH LACK OF POWER AND ACCELERATION. WITHIN A WEEK OF HAVING THE UPDATE DONE, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE WARNING LIGHT ON AS WELL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FIXED THE ISSUE; HOWEVER, THE LACK OF ACCELERATION...

ON 7/29/19 AT APPROXIMATELY 12:30 PM, WAS TRAVELING BETWEEN 60 - 65 MPH, WEST BOUND ON INTERSTATE 40 AT N.C. MM 31, THE TRUCK LOST POWER (LIMP IN MODE), THE CHECK ENGINE & SERVICE AUTOMATIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM LIGHTS CAME ON. NOTICED A SMALL AMOUNT OF WHITE SMOKE EMITTING FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TRUCK. COASTED OFF OF THE INTERSTATE AND CAME TO REST IN A USED CAR DEALERSHIP'S PARKING LOT. TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND OPENED THE HOOD WHERE I FOUND AN APPROXIMATELY 8' FLAME PROJECTING FROM UNDER THE PLASTIC MANIFOLD COVER. DOUSED THE FLAME WITH A BOTTLE OF DRINKING WATER AND TOOK THE PLASTIC COVER OFF WHERE I FOUND THE WIRING HARNESS SHEATHING ENGULFED IN FLAMES. EXTINGUISHED THAT WITH AN ABC DRY CHEMICAL EXTINGUISHER. CURRENTLY THE TRUCK IS AT WAYNESVILLE RAM WITH NO UPDATES AS OF YET. HAD THE EGR RECALL COMPLETED ON 6/19/19 AT WAYNESVILLE RAM AND...

ENGINE FIRE ON 2015 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL. LOSS OF ENGINE POWER, BUT STILL RUNNING, AT FREEWAY SPEED. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR INDICATORS. PULLED TO SIDE OF THE ROAD AS "ELECTRONIC THROTTLE POSITION FAILURE" APPEARED ON INFO SCREEN. PULLED OVER AND OPENED THE HOOD. THERE WERE FLAMES COMING FROM THE BACK OF THE ENGINE. COMPLETE LOSS.

TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR A RECALL REFLASH OF A CONTROLLER. TWO WEEKS LATER, AT 58MPH, WITHOUT WARNING DASHBOARD LITE UP NUMEROUS SYMBOLS/CODES AND ENGINE SHUTOFF, LOSING POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. I STEERED VEHICLE ONTO SIDE OF ROAD, AND ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART. TOOK FIRST DEALERSHIP 4 WEEKS TO DIAGNOSIS A CRANK POSITION TONE WHEEL, AND SENSOR FAILURE. VEHICLE WAS RETURNED THEN 2 WEEKS LATER, WHILE REFUELING AT A GAS STATION SAME FAILURE OCCURRED WITH DIESEL ENGINE STOPPAGE, AND NO RESTART. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SECOND CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN SECOND DEALERSHIP FOR 11 WEEKS, "UNDERGOING DIAGNOSIS". AS OF 6/6/2019, NO SOLUTION FOUND. FRANKLY, I DO NOT BELIEVE THEY HAVE A CLUE WHAT IS CAUSING THE RANDOM ENGINE SHUT OFF, NOR HOW TO REPAIR IT. THIS IS WHAT MAKES IT SUCH A FRIGHTENING DEFECT. IT APPEARS RANDOM, WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING UNTIL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP AND...

ENGINE SHUTS OFF INSTANTLY WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. WON'T START BACK UP FOR SEVERAL HOURS. WHEN TRYING TO RESTART, STARTER TURNS BUT SEEMS NO GAS IS GOING TO ENGINE. TRUCK ONLY HAS 39K MILES. WHEN I WALKED AWAY FROM THE TRUCK THE AUTO STARTER TRIED TO START IT ON IT'S OWN.

HEADLIGHT DEVELOPES CONDENSATION, CAUSING HEADLIGHT (HIGH BEAM) TO BLOW OUT (MY CASE), BUT WHICH EVER IS ON WILL BLOW OUT. DEALERSHIP IS TELLING CUSTOMERS TO RUN WITH HIGH BEAM ON TO BURN OFF THE CONDENSATION. THIS ONLY CAUSES THE BULB TO BLOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A DEFECTIVE BATTERY PLACED IN THE VEHICLE. THE BATTERY EXPLODED AND DAMAGED THE STARTER, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BRANHAVEN JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE RAM (348 W MAIN ST, BRANFORD, CT 06405, (203) 488-6351) FOR REPAIRS, BUT THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, WHICH CAUSED THE REAR WINDSHIELD TO BECOME SMASHED. THE DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR NINE WEEKS AND A LOANER VEHICLE WAS PROVIDED. THE REAR WINDSHIELD WAS REPAIRED, THE ENGINE HARNESS WAS REPLACED, AND AN ENTIRELY NEW WIRING SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED. THE CONTACT EXPECTED SOME TYPE OF COMPENSATION FROM THE DEALER, BUT NONE WAS OFFERED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

THERE IS A SPLIT-SECOND DELAY WHEN PRESSING THE HORN BUTTON AND THE HORN ACTUALLY SOUNDING. VERY SIGNIFICANT WHEN SOMEONE IS ENTERING YOUR LANE AND DOESN'T SEE YOU. SERVICE TECH CHARGED ME $50 TO TELL ME THAT THIS IS NORMAL. IT CERTAINLY SHOULD NOT BE NORMAL. VERY DANGEROUS. IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE NEW.

THIS IS THE SECOND RAM I HAVE OWNEC WITH A SHIFT KNOB ON THE DASH. BOTH HAVE FAILED AROUND 60K MILES. IN BOTH TRUCKS THE SHIFT WILL RANDOMLY EITHER GO JNTO NEUTRAL OR PARK WHILE STOPPED.. HAS HAPPENED TO ME AT RED LIGHTS. I'VE HAD TO SHIFT BACK TO PARK AND RESET THE DESIRED GEAR. ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS I HAD CYCLE THE SHIFTER 3 TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD GO INTO GEAR CAUSING TRAFFIC TO BACK UP. I REPLACED THE SHIFTER AND CURED THE PROBLEM ON BOTH TRUCKS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL.
