RIVERHEAD CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (624 W MAIN STREET, RIVERHEAD, NY) REFUSED TO PERFORM THE REPAIR BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT PURCHASED FROM THEM, AND ALSO THE PART WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT. *TT UPDATED 10/15/18*JB

STEREO NOT WORKING - FLASHES RAM LOGO AND XM LOGO, THEN TRIES TO UPDATE. NOTHING HAPPENS AND NO CONTROLS WORK. DEALER WANTS 1800. TO REPLACE. DRIVERS SIDE LUMBAR NOT WORKING, DEALER SAID SEAT BACK NEEDS REPLACING. HARD TO BELIEVE THESE NEED TO BE DONE ON A 3 YR OLD VEHICLE WITH 44K MILES ON IT. NEITHER ARE SAFETY ITEMS, HOWEVER MANY ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE RADIOS IN THESE VEHICLES.

I HAVE MULTIPLE ISSUES BUT THE SCARIEST IS AFTER SETTING THE EMERGENCY BRAKES AND PUTTING MY 2015 RAM 1500 IN PARK MY TRUCK WILL ROLL UP TO 4 FEET. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I PUT IT IN PARK. EVERY TIME I PARK IT I WORRY THAT IT WILL ROLL AND HIT A PERSON OR ANOTHER VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE "PARKING SENSOR DISABLED" INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY AND THE HEATED STEERING WHEEL DID NOT WORK. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ST. CHARLES JEEP CHRYSLER (1611 E MAIN ST, ST CHARLES, IL 60174, 630-513-5353), BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE TECHNICIAN; HOWEVER, REPLACED THE RADIO AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND STATED THAT THE FAILURES WOULD BE INVESTIGATED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT CALLED BACK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 7,500.

REAR CAB 3RD BRAKE LIGHT LEAKS EXTREME AMOUNT OF WATER WHEN RAINING HARD. THERE ARE HUNDARDS OF VIDEO THAT HIGHLIGHT THIS ISSUE. WATER ENTERING THE CAB COULD POTENTIALLY START A FIRE OR SOME KIND OF ELECTRIC SHORT. CHRYSLER/RAM DOESN'T OFFER A SOLUTION TO FIX AT THEIR COST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE LIGHTS ON THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT ILLUMINATE AND THE HORN STOPPED WORKING. CHAPMAN DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM OF SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA (3800 N 89TH ST, 85251) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REQUESTED THAT THE VEHICLE BE BROUGHT IN FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 41,500.

I BOUGHT MY 2015 RAM 1500 ON NOVEMBER 27, 2017. THE TRUCK LOOKED AS THOUGH IT HAD BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED AND TAKEN CARE OF. THE FIRST OR SECOND WEEK IN DECEMBER A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS PULLING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A FUEL PUMP SENSOR WHICH THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED. NOW AFTER A MONTH AND A HALF LATER, ANOTHER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS CAME ON WHILE PARKING AT A RESTAURANT. 3 CODES HAVE SHOWN UP FOR THIS CEL. THEY ARE P26AB, P26A7, AND P2681. THESE CODES HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ENGINE COOLANT BYPASS VALVE CONTROL. AFTER ONLY AN HOUR OF SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY THE FOLLOWING DAY THERE WAS A HUGE RAINBOW COLORED LEAK ON THE ASPHALT AND FLUID SETTLING AND DRIPPING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF THIS TRUCK SINCE I PURCHASED...

VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING IT. NEEDS NEW TIPM ACCORDING TO SERVICE CENTER. THEY WON'T REPLACE IT UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY SAY WE MODIFIED IT BY WRAPPING A PIECE OF HEAVY DUTY WIRE AROUND THE BOLT FOR POWER IN THE TIPM. SERVICE PEOPLE STATED TWICE THAT IF WE REMOVED THE WIRE, IT WOULD PUT THE TRUCK BACK TO FACTORY CONDITION AND IT WOULD BE FIXED UNDER THE WARRANTY. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE SERVICE CENTER TWICE AND THEY STILL REFUSE TO FIX THE TRUCK UNDER WARRANTY. THE WIRE IS A TEMPORARY SOLUTION TO KEEP THE TRUCK RUNNING AND HAS COME LOOSE ON OCCASION WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT WE DON'T FEEL WE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR.

I PUT MY TRUCK IN PARK ON THE ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL WITH ENGINE RUNNING WALKED AWAY ABOUT 20 YARDS WHEN THE TRUCK STARTED ROLLING I TRIED TO RUN AFTER IT BUT ONLY GOT MYSELF HURT AND THE TRUCK TOOK OUT A MAILBOX AND FENCE.THESE ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTERS ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED. IM NOW AFRAID OF IT ITS NOT TO BE TRUSTED I ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS ON.I WAS LUCKY WHEN IT ROLLED ACROSS THE ROAD IT DID NOT HIT ANOTHER CAR

MY TRUCK WAS IDLING IN PARK WITH BRAKE ON. MY TRUCK JUMPED OUT OF PARK INTO DRIVE AND RAN INTO A TREE WITH NO BODY IN DRIVERS SEAT.

ONE DAY LAST WEEK I WOKE UP AND MY LEFT REAR STEERING WHEEL CONTROL BUTTON STOPPED FUNCTIONING. (TURNS THE RADIO STATION TUNING DOWN) ALSO THE HIGH MOUNTED REVERSE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK WHEN IN REVERSE. I ALSO HAD A BLOWN HIGH MOUNTED REAR BRAKE LIGHT BULB OUT WHICH WAS REPLACED. HORN WORKS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO DO TO DIAGNOSTIC COST.

2015 DODGE RAM 1500. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SAFETY RECALL APPOINTMENT. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SCHEDULE AN RECALL REPAIR APPOINTMENT. THE CONSUMER SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH A DIFFERENT DEALER. UPDATED 09/21/2017*JS

MY RAM TRUCK WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. I WENT OUT AND STARTED MY TRUCK, WENT BACK INSIDE THE HOUSE TO GATHER MY THINGS APPROXIMATELY 2-3 MINUTES. WHEN I CAME BACK OUT TO MY DRIVEWAY MY TRUCK HAD STARTED TO ROLL DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND ENDED UP CRASHING INTO MY NEIGHBORS FENCE. THE TRUCK WAS IN PARK WHEN STARTED AND SOMEHOW CAME OUT OF GEAR OR HAD A COMPUTER FAILURE ON THE ROTARY SHIFT KNOB. THE DIAL INDICATOR WAS STILL IN PARK WHEN I ENTERED THE VEHICLE AFTER THE ROLL AWAY.

HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING 2 TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK. THE FIRST TIME THE RADIO AND DASH CLUSTER STOPPED WORKING THEN THE TRUCK ENGINE SHUT OFF DOING 80 DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE SECOND TIME IT WAS JUST THE ENGINE THAT SHUT OFF DOING 60 MPH ON A 2 LANE ROAD

APRIL 14, 2017 MY HUSBAND WAS HEADING EAST ON I-20 IN THE TYLER, TEXAS AREA LOCATED IN SMITH COUNTY TEXAS.APPROACHING HIS TURN OFF AT HWY 14. WHEN EXITING ON THE RAMP HE NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. HE LOOKED AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND HE BEGAN LOSING POWER. HE WAS ABLE TO PULL TO A LARGE PARKING AREA AWAY FROM OTHERS. HE GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND APPROACHED THE HOOD WHEN HE NOTICED FLAMES COMING FROM THE ENGINE. HE BACKED AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE AT THAT TIME AND CALLED 911. OUR VEHICLE IS NOT A TOTAL LOSS. LAST FALL WE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM $6500 WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 20,000 MILES ON IT. NOW AT LITTLE OVER 30,000 MILES IT'S A TOTAL LOSS. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRSYLER AND THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO SEND INSPECTORS TO SEE IF...

WE WHERE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT THE CONSOLE DISPLAY SAID TO PLACE THE VEHICLE INTO PARK. THE DASHBOARD THEN LOST POWER AND SMOKE STARTED TO COME OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD IT WAS A LIGHT GRAY AT FIRST BUT QUICKLY CHANGED TO BROWN AND THE FLAMES WHERE COMING OUT. I HAD JUST ENOUGH TIME TO GET OUT AND GET MY 6YR OLD SON OUT OF HIS CAR SEAT AND THEN CALL 911. WITHIN A COUPLE OF MINUTES THE ENGINE WAS IN FLAMES.

THE HEADLAMPS ARE TOO DIM, CAN'T SEE AT NIGHT. ALL THE TIME

WHILE BOTH DRIVING, ACCELERATING, STOPPED, STARTING, SLOWING AND PARKED, THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS SPECIFICALLY THE LIGHTS THAT ILLUMINATE THE DASH BOARD ON THE RPM AND SPEEDOMETER GAUGES, START BLINKING (LIKE A STROBE) WHICH IS A HUGE DISTRACTION. THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO TURN THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS ALL THE WAY UP, TO WHERE THEY SHOULD BE WHILE DRIVING DURING DAYTIME CONDITIONS. THIS CAUSES A HUGE DISTRACTION SINCE THE INTERIOR IS FULLY ILLUMINATED ON DARK ROADS. DUE TO THE HORRIBLE RAM DESIGN OF THE HEADLIGHTS WHICH DON'T PROJECT ANYTHING, THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM TRYING TO NAVIGATE ROADWAYS WITH EITHER THE BLINKING DASHBOARD OR THE LIGHTS ALL THE WAY UP. *TR

TRUCK HAD A LEAK BEHIND THE DASH WHICH COULDN'T BE REPAIRED AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. MOISTURE WITHIN THE CAB OF THE TRUCK HAS CAUSED ANYTHING METAL IN THE CAB TO RUST AND HAS ALSO AFFECTED SOME ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. I NOTICED THE LEAK MORE WHILE THE TRUCK WAS STATIONARY DURING HEAVY RAINS/SNOW. LEAK WAS NOTICED IN OR AROUND 11/2015 AND CONFIRMED IN 1/2016 AND IS NOW ASSUMINGLY REPAIRED. RUST IS A MAJOR CONCERN ALONG WITH MOISTURE THAT MAY HAVE AN AFFECT ON ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE.

I HAVE A 2015 DODGE RAM 1500 EXPRESS, I'VE HAD MECHANICAL ISSUE WITH THE TRUCK FROM THE VERY START OF OWNING THE TRUCK. THE BIGGEST AND LONGEST LASTING ISSUE HAS BEEN WITH THE KEY FOB GETTING STUCK IN THE TRUCK. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN THAT THE TRUCK ISN'T TELLING ITSELF THAT THE IS IN PARK SO IT WONT RELEASE MY KEY. THIS CAUSES ME TO HAVE TO TURN THE TRUCK ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES MOVE THE TRUCK AND SHIFT BACK INTO PAR BEFORE IT WILL RELEASE THE KEY. THE DEALERSHIP HAS SEEN THIS PROBLEM HAPPEN IN PERSON BUT THEN TELLS ME THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT. SO THEY REPLACE SOME RANDOM PART HOPING IT WILL FIX THE ISSUE. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 03/2016 AND HAS REQUIRED THE TRUCK TO BE IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP FOR DAYS AND WEEKS. DODGE HAS BEEN UNABLE...

THIS VEHICLE WAS LEASED FROM MID COUNTRY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP ON 12/16/2015 AS PART OF AN EIGHT VEHICLE FLEET. ON 10/5/2016, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND JUMPER CABLES WERE REQUIRED TO START THE ENGINE. VEHICLE OPERATOR IS CURRENTLY DELIVERING THE VEHICLE TO THE MID COUNTY DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. THE OPERATOR REPORTS THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS ERRATIC - THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT WORKING, THE TACHOMETER IS NOT WORKING, THE ODOMETER IS NOT WORKING, INDICATOR PANEL LIGHTS ARE FLICKERING, AND SEAT BELT ALERT SYSTEM IS TURNING ON WITHOUT CAUSE. MECHANICS REPORT WILL BE PROVIDED AS IT BECOMES AVAILABLE. WHILE THIS IS THE FIRST MALFUNCTION ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE, IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT OUR FLEET CONSISTS SOLELY OF RAM 1500S, WITH SEVEN BEING 2016 MODELS AND ONE 2015. BATTERY AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE HAS BEEN PERVASIVE THROUGHOUT OUR ENTIRE FLEET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE ECU SENSOR AND TRANSMISSION PCU SENSOR FAILED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL FAILURES WITH THE HEADLIGHTS AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ELECTRICAL SENSOR SYSTEM. THE FRONT FRAME ALSO SEPARATED DUE TO DEFECTIVE BOLTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,240.

SIMILAR TO THE 2012-2013 DODGE DURANGOS RECAL THAT INVOLVED THE TIPM AND FUEL PUMP RELAY. MY 2015 RAM 1500 BEGAN TO NOT START AS IF IT WASN'T GETTING ENOUGH FUEL WITH LONG CRANK TIMES THAT HAVE ONLY GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS. THE LAST WEEK, I NOTICED A GASOLINE SMELL AFTER EACH OCCURENCE. TODAY (2016-08-08) IS HAS GOTTEN TO POINT THAT I NEVER KNOW IF THE TRUCK WILL START. I HAVE BROUGHT INTO MY DEALER TODAY AND THE SERVICE TECH MENTION THAT THIS SOUNDED LIKE THE "DURANGO" RECALL ISSUE. I AM ASKING THAT YOU EXTEND THE 2012-2013 JEEP/DURANGO TO 2015 RAM 1500'S. I KNOW THE PETITION WAS DENIED BUT I'M ASKING THAT YOU RE-EVALUATE CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS. NHTSA RECALL NO. : 15V-115 - DOESN'T START ON FIRST TRY. HEAVY SMELL OF FUEL.

I LEFT THE TRUCK RUNNING WHILE IN A STORE, I CAME OUT TO SEE IT ROLLED FORWARD INTO A BUILDING WHILE I WAS IN THE STORE AND TRUCK WAS IN PARK ( OR AT LEAST I THOUGHT) THIS CAUSED $1800 IN DAMAGES LESS THEN A MONTH LATER WHILE THE TRUCK WAS RUNNING AND IN PARK IT COMPLETELY DIED AND HAD TO TOWED BACK TO DEALER. THEY SAID THEY FOUND A LOOSE CONNECTION IN THE DASH

ON 2-24-16, AN ACCIDENT WITH THE VEHICLE HAPPENED DURING WHICH THE DRIVER HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. PER THE POLICE REPORT, VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A PARKING SPACE FACING SOUTHWEST. UNOCCUPIED VEHICLE BACKED UP FROM ITS PARKING POSITION IN THE NORTHEAST DIRECTION COLLIDING WITH A BUILDING COLUMN. THE REAR BUMPER OF THE VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH A BLOCK COLUMN CAUSING CEMENT BLOCKS TO BE KNOCKED OUT OF POSITION. THERE WERE NO INJURIES ON THE SCENE. DRIVER LEFT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, TURNED OFF THE IGNITION TO THE VEHICLE, EXITED THE VEHICLE AND LCOKED IT WITH THE KEYS IN HIS POCKET. HE THEN ENTERED A STORE.AND APPROX. 15 MINUTES LATER, SECURITY LOCATED HIM AND INFORMED HIM THAT THE VEHICLE HAD BACKED INTO THEIR BUILDING JUMPING A CURB AND ACCELERATING. DRIVER ADVISED THAT HE HAD THE KEY FOB IN HIS POCKET TEH WHOLE TIME. HE STATED THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE CRANKED...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V799000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE CONTACT CALLED MORE THAN TWO DEALERS AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO SUPPLY THE PART WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO RECEIVE THE REPAIR.

IN ADDITION, THE VENT CONTROLS FAILED TO WORK FOR THE AIR CONDITIONER AND HEATING WITHOUT WARNING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000.

ORIGINAL COMPLAINT FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS FILED WITH THE NHTSC ON 9/10/2015. THIS IS THE SECOND IDENTICAL INCIDENT. ON 2/14/16 MY KNEE HIT THE IGNITION KEY AND THE IGNITION TURNED OFF WHILE TRAVELING AT 55 MPH. I LOST ALL ENGINE, BRAKE AND STEERING POWER AND COASTED OFF ROAD WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. THE LOCATION AND OPERATION OF THE IGNITION KEY AND IGNITION SWITCH WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE A CRASH AND FATALITY LIKE WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE SIMILAR GM / CHEVY IGNITION PROBLEM. I REPORTED THIS TO MY DEALER, RAM HQ CUSTOMER CARE AND YOU (NHTSC) IN SEPT 2015 AND GOT NO RESPONSE FROM ANY OF YOU AND NO ONE SEEMED TO CARE. I ALSO CONTACTED LIEFF CABRASER LAW FIRM IN SAN FRANCISCO THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED ON 9/10/2015 AND GAVE THEM A HEADS UP THAT THIS DEFECT WILL EVENTUALLY RESULT IN A CRASH AND/OR FATALITY AND THEY ARE...

CHRYSLER, MILE ONE, AND HALL CHRYSLER JEEP IN VIRGINIA BEACH ARE DOING NOTHING TO HELP ME OUT OF THIS TRUCK. THE TRUCK IS ONLY 19 DAYS OLD WITH 1000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT. THE TRUCK WAS MOST CERTAINLY MOVING AND I WAS LUCKY I HAD JUST LEFT THE INTERSTATE. I'VE ASKED TO HAVE THE TRUCK BOUGHT BACK SO I CAN BUY A DIFFERENT TRUCK FROM ANOTHER MANUFACTURER.

I STOPPED THE TRUCK AND GOT OUT TO INSPECT IT, AFTER SEEING THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE BODY I LOOKED UP AND SAW A LARGE HOLE IN MY DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WINDOW THE SIZE OF A GRAPEFRUIT. AS I WAS INSPECTING THE WINDOW I TOUCHED THE LOWER LEFT CORNER AND BURNDED MY FINGER. IT WAS LIKE TOUCHING A LIGHT BULB THAT IS ON. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE DE-FROSTER OFF AND CHECKED THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW AND IT WAS AT A NORMAL TEMPERATURE.
