2016 RAM 1500 Unknown Or Other Problems

My abs module has an error code and I can't find the part I need.

Fuel tank strap snapped off frame

Reversing in our driveway, backing in with the trailer to store it. Backing up hill, the truck stopped moving. I applied additional pressure to the accelerator to get the truck moving again. The truck lurched backward suddenly enough that the rear tires broke traction loudly. Before I could stop the truck, the trailer struck the corner of the house, causing significant damage.

Antilock brake system module failure. The system controls the anti-locking brake system as well as vehicle stability control, both federally mandated for this year vehicle. The ABS, stability control, and brake lights are illuminated on the dash. The message “service antilock brake system” is displayed on the message center as well as “service electronic braking system” The part is not available for inspection at this time as it is still on the vehicle and cannot be removed without causing complete failure of the braking system. The vehicle is still being driven as there is no other option at this time. Failure of the system puts anyone operating the vehicle in danger due to the ABS & Stability systems being inoperable. Failure confirmed by independent auto repair technician. ABS system reset and re-initialize without resolution of the issue. The part has not been inspected by the dealership who did not wish...

The HPFP that has an unfixed recall on it went out and caused the engine to grenade itself

The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) control module on this vehicle has failed, causing the following: Complete loss of ABS braking Loss of traction control Inoperable speedometer Warning lights for ABS, brake, and traction systems

Tailgate falls while driving or will not catch with several attempts to close. Rear camera flickers with no picture sometimes.

ABS control module failed. Dash warning lights are on and error code present for ABS module failure. There is no replacement available and no one can give any kind of estimate for when the part may ever be available. They poses a huge safety risk and is a known problem in which it appears they are doing nothing about correcting.

ABC Control Module - The warning lights that are on in the Dashboard are the ABS Light, Traction Control Light and the Brake Light. When these lights came on, I took it to the Ram Dealership, and they told me that it was the ABS Control Module that was bad and needed replaced. The lights stay on all of the time, so I do not have any ABS Braking, Tractor Control or Cruise Control. Not having the ABS Braking or the Cruise Control make it very dangerous to stop or control the Truck with bad road conditions. The Dealership told me that the part that is needed is on an Enginering Hold and that they cannot order the part. The Truck was taken into the Dealership in October of 2024. They are not giving me any solutions to the problem, and I am forced to drive an unsafe vehicle until...

WArning light to service shifter, service electronic thorottle control and service ABS system, Computers not comunicating due to computer error, found fuse blown and high resistance in the power districution center. replaced and programmed the power distribution module to find anitlock brake model failed. Part is currenlty on engineering hold. We have not been able to ddrive the vehicle since 11/8/2024 and now they are telling us it may be February till part is realeased. There was a safety recall U07 that was repair but the ABS module is the part controlling all items that are failing.

Intermittently failure of my power steering. Fluid is full, all components appear fine when inspected by mechanic. Upon further research discovered could be an issue with the circuit board. Unable to drive my truck due to the lack of power steering causing a major potential safety issue.

My truck has been diagnosed with a faulty ABS control module over a year ago. I have made countless efforts to remedy this to no avail. The demand is so high for these and the supply is zero. The vehicle will go into limp mode every time i drive it. This poses a serious threat to my safety by not being able to get up to speed on the highway and constantly having to pull over. This is my only vehicle and has been a huge inconvenience.

The tailgate fell open while in motion. Now it won't latch closed unless I hold it up and lock it with the mechanical key or the keyfob. Online research indicates that recal # U74 should have included this truck but I was never notified. I am the second owner and acquired this truck 05/05/2018.

ABS control module failed while driving. This also took out cruise control and electronic stability. This can cause brakes to lock up and/or a loss of control in inclement weather.

I have reached out to Ram dealership on 2025 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90007. I contacted them on April of 2023. I was told by the dept who order the parts that they didn't have them and didnt want to order. I contacted them again and was given the same response. I have not been notified till this date if they have my part to get replaced.

On Thursday July 18, 2024 at approximately 5:00pm. I was on my way home from picking my son up from daycare when the screen turned black and my shift knob light (above D letter) began blinking and about 10 seconds later the truck shut off completely. The key wasn’t able to be removed from the ignition. About five minutes later, I was able to turn the key and turn the truck back on. This was a frightening moment because I was crossing over railroad track when this started.

2016 ram 1500 abs module failed. Known issue. Part still under review and no recall issued. Over $1k to replace for a problem that was known beforehand.

ABS module / Hydraulic Control Unit failure

While driving, dash board alert notice of shifter requiring service appeared. Message states not to take gear out of "D" until reaching desired location or may not be able to use "D" again. Later Engine, power steering, air suspension, anti skid alerts began to appear is sequence. Cruise control and other electrical feature will not work during alert. Last anywhere between 5 and 30 or more minutes. Happened 2 days ago while on vacation road trip to Gulf. In Gulf shores now. Now I get an email from dealer about purchasing car insurance repair plan. Seems odd on the timing. Please help. Vehicle will restart and go into gears. Power steering may not work for up to five minutes. Have to stop and restart. Sporadic operation. Suspect tactics by dealer repair database to get customers to buy repair insurance or get vehicle into shop/trade for new vehicle. Please help. Do...

It keeps saying parking light out. The engine light is now on and brakes and suspension are not good. Texas Crown auto sales or Crown auto sales sold me this lemon and I have only made 6 months of payments on it. It goes to the shop and stays at least three weeks every month In 2024. I have pictures and video of everyone that worked on it and sold it to me that they fired already.

No one has ever fixed my recalls but it says it was done. I’m am getting the occupant light and having electric problems. Also there is leaking around the top break light causing it to leak inside

Losing power steering when I'm driving.

Rear tailgate keeps coming open while traveling on highway

While listening to radio, radio station would change on its own a couple times. Also, while listening to pandora, songs would skip out of no where.

Approximately five times over six years, my 2016 Ram pickup engine will shut off on its own with no warning. It has always happened on the highway at high speed. This puts others at risk as I must put on hazard lights and coast to a stop with minimal control of the vehicle while other motorists try to avoid hitting me. The instrument lights remain on and once stopped, I can put transmission into park and restart the vehicle. I would allow an inspection at any time, but one has not been done by others yet as it is so random.

Lack of action on an existing NHTSA recall. FCAUS has failed to act on NHTSA recall 22V-406 for the high pressure fuel pump. Today I contacted the local Ram dealership service department and was told that they do not have a waitlist to fix the issue, or any idea when repair parts will become available. This is 566 days after the recall was announced in June 2022. The inaction of FCAUS/Stellantis is a danger to the livelihood and safety of owners of affected vehicles and the safety of drivers that share the roads with owners of affected vehicles.

I have replaced the heater control valve twice now and both times the seal leaks causing my transmission to over heat no heat and my engine to over heat. The first heater control valve lasted about 800 miles. The second one didn't even last a trip to work and I had to pull over

Interesting enough there was a recall for 2022-2923 rams for issues with backup camera. My 2016 has an issue where the backup camera screen gets all covered on multiple colored lines.

No

Nothing happened, yet. The magnetic material attached to the reluctor wheel provides a signal to the crankshaft position sensor. If this signal material is lost, the engine loses its ability to synchronize injector pulses and cam timing. This loss of crankshaft position can result in an engine stall, as well as loss of the ability to restart the engine. Safety Risk A loss of motive power can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. . This is another recall on a new problem. The previous one dated June 09, 2022. These are grossly unsafe. And, again, there is no remedy, no parts available and unknown if or when they will be. . I'd like FCA to buy back this vehicle at the market value it was on June 09, 2022. It's wrong to have to have such serious issues wrong with a vehicle that are dangerously unsafe and potentially deadly.

My RAM has a defect that allows water to enter the cabin, causing foul odors, mold or mildew, electrical system disruption, and rear cabin airbag contamination.

I was driving down the highway at 75 mph and my truck died in the middle of the highway luckily I pushed it off to the shoulder and it wouldn’t restart had it towed to a shop where I was told the crankshaft tone ring needed to be replaced but no parts to fix it due to “back order” this has been recalled but doesn’t show a fix on my vehicle and it needs to be fixed immediately.

2 out of 3 bolts that connect the DPF to the SCR have rusted and failed at 108,000 miles (111,000 on the vehicle now). When the final bolt fails the exhaust heat destroys the DEF system resulting in several thousand dollar repairs. This should be covered under a recall for the emmissions control systems. It is a common issue on RAM trucks with the RAM ECODIESEL 3.0L engine.

THE RECALL HAS BEEN SINCE JUNE 2022(I THINK) MANUFACTURER RECALL#246, NHTSA RECALL#22V-406(HIGH PRESSURE FUELPUMP) IT WILLBE ALMOST A YEAR ? SINCE THE RECALL ALL THE DEALERS CAN OFFER OR TELL YOU IS NO PARTS AVAILABLE? WHAT IS THE USUAL TIME FRAME GIVEN THESE KNOWN DEFECTS TO BE FIXED? IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE?

2016 DODGE RAM. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO PARTS BEING UNAVAILABLE TO PERFORM SAFETY RECALL.

79,000 miles on 2016 Ram 1500 eco 4x4 has differential problems and the back axle. Makes the transmission over heat. Brakes also go to the floor have to double tap on the brakes to stop.

The back up camera will not work until you start driving forward and randomly comes on while driving. A person or child could be hit by the camera not working. The radio and camera screen go on and off and acts like it is trying to reboot but does not reboot. The dealer recommends replacement at $795 which I will have to pay. My understanding there are active recalls for this on 2019 and 2020 Rams. This recall should be expanded.

RAM has teamed with T Mobile to add cell access back to the Uconnect system. 2016 models work with 3G, which was phased out 1 JAN 2022. RAM sent me a T Mobile 4G adapter that plugs into the OBD2 port under the dash. When installed, the adapter sticks out at least 3 inches below the dash and interferes with brake and accelerator. Clearly this was a rush job and not thought thru. I have been unable to get any assistance from RAM regarding this. I've included a pic of this device installed. RAM's reply to me Here's my first reply from RAM regarding Uconnect - doesn't answer the question - see further Hello Christopher Thank you for contacting Stellantis Customer Assistance Center I am seeing that this vehicles Uconnect Connected Services are through Uconnect Access. For assistance with your Uconnect Services, you will need to call Uconnect Access at...

I took my truck into the shop for an oil change and discovered that the front fuel tank strap bracketed corroded and broke. Thank goodness I took my truck into the shop where the mechanic discovered my tank hanging. This caused me to look up recalls and found this below. I am in Hawaii. How can I get this fixed.

There is an open recall on this vehicle, and I have been waiting for well over a year on the dealer (Larry H Miller, Boise, ID) for resolution. I am repeatedly told they have an issue getting a replacement part, but I am no longer satisfied with this response.

UConnect system freezes up. Black, unresponsive screen, Unable to control the radio, navigation, remote locking, climate control, and other important Safety features such as Back up Camera.

When I bought the vehicle last year it was brought to my attention that something was loose in my front end that shouldn't be by a mechanic and it had only 75000 miles on it then . He had said it could lock up and cause a accident. My truck had been to the dealer I bought it at twice for part on the axel that was leaking some grease. I was told they are wear and tare parts, but they didn't say anything about it seeming loose . I went for inspection and I was told that I need a new front end axel assembly kit that is 3000$ and they took my inspection sticker for it saying it is unsafe to drive until fixed that it could lock up and cause a accident. This sounded just like what the guy told me at 75000 miles. I was told...

Truck was at the dealer for Recalls repairs & Maintenance. After weekend driving to work, engine fire occurred, truck totaled. Per nationwide insurance letter received 7-7 under "next steps" it gave this website to report this to you. I would like to be notified of outcome

Truck is 5 yes old and the uconnect radio dose not work .tried everything to get it to work it just blinks on and off or gone to a blue screen and then back to the dodge emblem. Called uconnect they say no up dates on it ..

Exhaust rear passenger bolts broke last year when vehicle had 60k miles and now has 130k and drivers side rear bolt has broken. Last time the warranty covered it and now my truck is out of warranty to do the driver side. I googled it and it seems to be a problem with 2009 rams with hemi. Exhaust leak is fairly loud and goes away as the engine warms up.. just wanted to see if there is so many clams of this same part (bolt) is or will there be a recall.... Because of the bolt braking they will have to replace the head.. Its like a $3,000 plus job.

Unknown vibration at highway speeds, have taken to dealer and multiple shops. They all can’t find the problem. Balanced wheels multiple times, Changed wheel bearings, tires to different brand, new wheel they suggested still same problem. This vibration shakes seats and steering wheels at speeds above 65MPH. I see multiple people asking the same question with there rams.

WHILE HAVING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE I DISCOVERED ON THE VEHICLE SEVERAL SMALL AREAS OF CHIPPED PAINT AND RUST IMMEDIATELY ABOVE THE WINDSHIELD. THE WINDSHIELD IS THE ORIGINAL AND NEVER CHANGED SO THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE PAINT DEFECTS ALONG THE WINDSHIELD SEAM AREA SO THAT WHEN THE RUST GOES THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD WILL BECOME UNSTABLE AND POSE A POTENTIAL HAZARD OR COULD FAIL ALTOGETHER. I SPOKE WITH A RAM DEALER WHO WAS UNINTERESTED IN THE PROBLEM. I HAVE CALLED RAM COOPERATE HEADQUARTERS AND REPORTED THE ISSUE. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS.

AFTER HAVING AN APPROVED EMISSIONS MODIFICATION DONE, WHILE UNDER LOAD THE SCR BOLTS AND FLANGE BROKE, AND AFTER READING THE FORUMS THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO A LOT OF TRUCKS, ALSO CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE GREAT DAMAGE TO DPF ASSEMBLY, HIGHWAY DRIVING
