#11713389 | Crash
The rear driver-side wheel detached from the axle, resulting in an immediate loss of vehicle control. As a result, the truck left the roadway. The detached wheel landedapproximately 150 feet behind the vehicle, on the opposite side of the road from where the truck ultimately stopped. Insurance has not yet completed its inspection of the vehicle; however, the crack and damage to the wheel were observed at the scene by a volunteer firefighter, the responding officer, and the tow truck operator. Additionally, an independent witness reported that the truck appeared to abruptly lift off the roadway, as though something suddenly caused it to “go flying.” Due to the sudden nature of the incident, no warning lights illuminated prior to the loss of control. All airbags deployed during the incident. The tailgate was dislodged, and the driver’s side of the truck sustained severe damage, including significant damage to the axle. The...

The bags or compressor failed. Dealer could not diagnose which is a common problem. They just change parts and charge you until it’s corrected. Safety factor is off the charts because it makes it undrivable if it loses pressure with no warning. No lights or warning and front will slowly lose pressure until it bottoms out

While traveling down C470 Eastbound my truck experienced some type of mechanical failure. While on the corner above the bridge for Wadsworth Avenue I felt a sudden loss of control with the truck pulling to the right side of the highway. I immediately took action to pull the truck off the highway while also wrestling for control of the steering to keep the truck from running into the barrier and off the bridge. I was able to bring the truck to a stop just following the bridge (About 100ft). Upon inspection I found the right front tire had folded under itself. It seemed that the upper control arm on the vehicle snapped, pulling out the drive shaft in the process and damaging items like the steering linkage, brakes, tire, brakeline, etc. Dealership diagnosis was: Found right front upper ball joint separated causing excessive damage to the front end components. Only...

The contact owns a 2020 Ram1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the brakes applied independently without being depressed. There was no warning light illuminated. While driving over a bump in the roadway, the vehicle inadvertently shifted lanes and the vehicle became uncontrollable. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced the death wobble and the vehicle spun out of control and was almost struck by another vehicle. The contact was provided a police escort to the dealer. The 4WD, ABS, and service engine warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who stated that the tires needed to be replaced. The vehicle was diagnosed, and it was determined that an unknown module needed to be replaced. The dealer also recommended that the tires be replaced for better performance. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to a tire...

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that after parking the vehicle, the air ride suspension system malfunctioned, causing the frame of the vehicle to be lowered. The contact stated that the failure sometimes occurred on one suspension, and at other times on all the four suspensions. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. After retrieving the vehicle, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 300. The contact stated that they have taken their vehicle to the dealership several times in an attempt to get it repaired but with no luck. The issue seems to be weather related since the most failures were reported when it was cold out.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that as he hitched a travel trailer to the rear of the vehicle, the rear springs collapsed, and the vehicle was no longer level due to the lack of support from the lift springs. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The contact stated he received a recall notification from the manufacturer informing him that the vehicle was not assembled with the proper lift springs and the dealer would replace all four coil springs with the 1-inch lift spring for the suspension of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for the recall repair and the dealer replaced the lift springs with the same standard coil spring instead of the 1-inch lift spring as instructed by the manufacturer. The dealer was made aware of the issue and informed the contact that they...
