2014 Ram 1500 Electrical Problems

Your truck's steering wheel controls have stopped working — the right turn signal blinks constantly with all lights on, and you can't use the cruise control, radio, phone controls, or horn. The airbag warning light is on all the time, which means the airbags might deploy unexpectedly or fail to deploy in a crash. You also can't access the dashboard menu to see important vehicle alerts like service reminders, tire pressure, or engine warnings. This is the same problem your vehicle was recalled for in 2015 and supposedly fixed at the dealership. The issue likely involves replacing the steering wheel control module or connector that was previously repaired under the recall.

You discovered that your 2014 Ram 1500's odometer showed different mileage at purchase versus registration — it displayed 140,000 miles when you bought it from the dealer, but was actually 238,999 miles. This suggests the odometer may have been tampered with or reset before you purchased the vehicle. You should contact your state's motor vehicle department and the dealer to report potential odometer fraud.

The abs module has an internal short, yes. The abs, traction control, and trailer brakes stopped working as a result. Yes. No. The failure happed abruptly and only showed warning lights after the part failed. The failure appeared while driving resulting in reduced braking and some skidding.

Odometer Fraud. The contact considered purchasing a 2014 Ram 1500 from a local dealer, with an odometer reading of 138,000. The contact stated that after obtaining a Carfax Report for the vehicle, the contact became aware that the odometer reading was listed at 251,000 in 2023. The vehicle was not purchased. The dealer was not yet notified of the mileage discrepancy.

Electric power steering system is faulty very dangerous I could’ve been in a accident the eps systems on these trucks go out with no warning I know of this happening to numerous of these trucks ranging from 2013-2019 models with only a few with a recall they need to recall all these trucks for this issue

As many other dodge ram owners are also experiencing anti lock brake control module internal electronic failure. Abs, traction control, and brake warning lights are all on on the dash so abs and traction control are disabled the 4 wheel drive won't function due to this either. Abs has fault code c2200-49 diagnosed at a local facility with fix finder diagnostic and doesn't seem to be any available control module replacements to even repair it. This truck is useless on the icy road at this time and dangerous for everyone's safety on the road under normal driving conditions without all of these safety features working as they should. There should be parts available at least if not a recall or maybe even customer pays for the part and dealership programs new part for free! The anti lock brake control modules are faulty on way to many generations of dodge ram vehicles for dodge not to recall all faulty abs control modules on all year models, please help with this issue THANKS in advance

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that upon taking the vehicle to the dealer for service, it was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, on October 18, 2025, the mileage was 113,000; however, a dealer later informed the contact that the vehicle was last serviced in 2024, at 204,000 miles.

The ABS module (anti-lock brake module) has stopped working. My abs light, parking brake light, and traction control light stay on all the time and my anti-lock brakes are not working. This is SO common with 3rd generation Ram 1500’s (2013-2018) and I don’t understand why the abs module has not been recalled yet? The cost to replace the abs module is extremely expensive and if it a poorly designed part that will fail, Mopar should recall the part and replace it.

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while attempting to register the vehicle, it was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 138,000, and at the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 248,000.

My 2014 Ram 1500 ABS light, traction control, and brake light popped up and if I drive it for a short bit and stop and shut it off and crank it up the light don’t come back on. It has been doing this all the time through the winter and now says on all the time. All so the back up camera doesn’t power up when you first start vehicle for about two minutes on the radio display. The camera not coming on creates a big safety issue when backing up. We have small grandchildren and this makes it a big safety concern.

Airbag light comes on and beeps then shits off intermittently. Happens every time we drive the vehicle. I noticed there were other past recalls about the ABS warning light coming on. The message on dash says "Service Airbag System". Our truck has never been in an accident, the horn still works, wiring looks secure for airbag harness, not sure if this is a common problem but I googled it and I've seen several Ram owners with the same light on.

The contact's husband owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that the horn initially failed to operate as needed. The contact then received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V459000 (Air Bags), which was linked to the horn failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for the recall repair. Recently, the horn failure returned, along with select steering wheel options that also failed to operate as needed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the vehicle was diagnosed with a defective wiring harness and clock spring, and the contact was given an estimate for the repair. The contact then received a notice from the manufacturer about a lifetime warranty on the vehicle under the D-17 clock spring lifetime warranty. The contact called the dealer and informed them about the warranty notice. The dealer stated that there were no recalls on the vehicle and refused to honor the warranty. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that a mileage discrepancy was discovered after the purchase of the vehicle. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 158,000. It was later discovered that the title mileage was 156,000.

My vehicle is saying please service the airbags on it. I have noticed that when I start it there seems to be issues with my odometer showing up at times. I have noticed then the vehicle to a dealer for this issue but when it goes to the shop I will discuss it with them.

I purchased This truck new in 2014 and have had very few problems with it, but now the ABS module is defective which affects the brakes, traction control, cruise, with all lights on. In driving the vehicle under wet roads it has gone out of control and is dangerous. Ram has told me that the parts are back ordered and recently gave me incorrect information as to the extent of this parts problem. I paid over 50k for this vehicle to keep in my older years and I do not want to have to change now . This is a real problem that could get someone hurt or killed. They say it is not a recall issue but there are thousands of these parts needed and Ram seems to [XXX]. I don't usually voice a complain but this hits home to me. Thanks Ram has a claim pending with my vin # INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Computer reads CC2200-49. ABS internal electronic failure. Brake,ABS,traction control lights came on and electric trailer brakes and cruise control deactivated while pulling 5000# camper putting my family in danger. Dealer and Ram Care have been of no assistance locating new part. Part has been under engineering review for 2 years and is unavailable from Mopar.

Unknown. I have a 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 Tradesman 5.7L Hemi 4x2. The ABS Control Module for the Anti-lock braking system pump. That component went out and my Cruise Control won't work without it and my Display has an engine light on because of the back order for this main component.

Lost connection with the restraint control module. I have 97,000 miles on my truck., and the air bags module malfunctioned at the same time. Now I am a bit worried about driving my truck.

When I start the engine the power steering light comes on. The steering wheel remains very firm and the wheel can not be turned. After approx 10-15 minutes, depending on how long it takes the vehicle to warm up, the power steering light will go out. At this time the vehicle can be driven and the light has not come back on while driving. There was a former recall on this same type of issue in the past involving the EPS. I have filled out this form before and feel that this is huge safety issue and I believe this warrants another recall. There are several forums online discussing others having this same issue. Thanks

ABS module is faulty. I was told at the local Pep Boys after running a diagnostic test that the ABS module has an error. There is a recall on the electronic systems with the ABS I am aware of and would like to have that fixed on a recall.

ABS Control Module has failed. The part number is 68228991AD. The dealership informed me the manufacturer no longer makes this part, and they were unable to resolve the issue. While I was advised by the dealership the truck is ok to drive, my additional research indicated a failed ABS module can lead to the wheels locking up while driving, the speedometer to stop working and the transmission locking out due to the computer system thinking there’s a break failure. This is a huge safety risk to others around me on the road, myself and my family.

ABS system failure. Unable to repair the ABS control module because the part is not available making the passenger rear wheel lose traction while starting to move and driving at highway speeds causing the rear of the vehicle to fishtail on dry roads. Even with new tires installed.

My 2014 Ram's cab is allowing water to enter into the interior. This appears to be a very common problem with this era of Ram. First, I noticed my third brake light would blow at least once a year. If you do not replace it, the information center on the truck displays that the driver brake light is out, which it is not and is a completely different bulb. I realized this after stopping at the parts store, buying a new driver side brake light, only to determine it was the third brake light. After each rain, I notice a strong mildew smell in my truck. I then noticed a large water stain on the headliner above the rear passenger seat. I have replaced the bulb to the third brake light once a year and the housing light assembly and gasket twice. Water is either entering from the third brake light or from the black roof trim that run from the front windshield to the rear windshield. Could this mold and mildew growing in my headliner be causing my family's allergies? This leak is a very common problem as indicated in Ram forums and in YouTube videos. Many solutions have been owners using silicone all over the third brake light and the black trim that runs from windshield to windshield. Ram should recall the third brake light, body trim, and replace all headliners.

ABS module has failed. Traction control and ABS is not functioning. The module is on back order for over a year now. I’ve read on many forms that many people are having the same issue. I now have to be extremely careful especially on wet roads as the rear tires spin due to not having TC functioning.

I have a 2014 Dodge Ram with a 3 way heater valve causing check engine light concrens. I have read several Ram forum about this situation. people are replacing the valve and trucks run well after repair but the check engine light stays illuminated and will not reset. From what I'm understanding is there is a communication problem with the power control module. The 3 way valve issue is way too common among the Chrysler family and very expensive for such a small part. If possible please look into this issue it will be greatly appreciated for thousands of Chrysler owners. Thank you

The Horn and all push buttons on the steering wheel except for the cruise control on/off no longer work. The vehicle was subject to a recall for the same problem. The vehicle was supposedly repaired, but again the problem has come back. I believe the repair was either not performed or was done poorly due to the problem coming back.

The center of the instrument cluster has gone blank. You cannot see any of the mileage speed tire pressure any of the information that is located on the center of the instrument cluster between the tachometer and the speedometer

Does not start reliably. When driving vehicle sputters and even stalls or complete shut offs while driving. Will loose ability to accelerate and lack power. Taken to 4 different mechanics / 2 of which Dodge Dealerships and no one can find whats wrong. Engine light on.

I have a fault in the ABS Control Module. I have been waiting on a replacement part since September of 2023. The current part number for repair has been discontinued and it sounds like the ABS Control Module is under engineering review. When the fault is thrown it turns of traction control and does not allow the use of 4 wheel drive. I have serious safety concerns when driving my vehicle when the abs fault is thrown. If the part has been discontinued and it is under engineering review how has it not been recalled.

When I start the vehicle the power steering light comes on and stays on until the vehicle warms up. Once the vehicle is warm, the light goes off. Usually this light stays on for approximately 10 minutes. I can’t begin driving until the light goes off. It has not ever come on while driving

ABS, Traction control, and brake light on. DTC code C2200-49 internal electrical error. Part is not available for sale. What are owners to do?

EVIC loses power/flickers constantly. Fuse is good.

instrument cluster/panel Flickers and goes completely dark stay dark/blackout the majority of the time. There is a recall for the year 2014 but only if manufactured between July -August. Ours manufactured in October .this has been an on and off occurrence since maybe 2018 when we took it to the dealer early on it didn’t happen so they couldn’t address it. However it is off more than on and we have seen the recall. The blackout restricts our ability to see and monitor gages.

Dashboard says that my left headlight is out, or my left and sometimes right turn signals are out. Upon checking, the headlight is new and the turn signals are working properly outside of the truck.

Issues constantly with hvac control module and climate system...every other time I start my ram, I either have AC in the heating mode or vice versa, or the computer is NOT communicating with the hvac module and blend doors for when I request heat, ac or defrost dashboard control etc.( I have replaced many blend doors oem, and hvac modules and had Chrysler recalibrate the blend doors and hvac/climate control system with NO success! Please help!

This is the 4th time it's happened and also the 2nd time iv almost been killed!! I have a 2014 ram 1500 which iv grown to love. Iv have alot of issues but never complained and just took care of ... yet the gauge cluster display decides to go into a party mode (strobing) and flickering or just flat out going black!!! I have bad eyes and twice now within 2 months driving at night iv gone off the road because of the flashing in my eyes! Iv found this is a common issue but the dealer told me I cannot get it fixed even though it's been recalled under other trucks! This has almost killed me! Please all I'm asking is to fix this for me... I love this truck but I'm terrified to drive it now with this issue let alone get rid of it and God for bid someone else has an accident . Please help a ram fan pile on the miles with a safe vehicle.. thank you for your time, im sorry for the long message but this is very serious and obviously a safety issue . Again, iv gone off the road and avoided a very serious incident that was caused by a faulty part. I completly understand parts going bad and having to replace them out of pocket. NOTHING SHOULD WORK FINE ONE MINUTE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN START STROBBING IN ANYONES FACE . Thank you again

Vehicle began experiencing electrical issues upon ABS/HCU unit failure. While initially intermittent, which allowed continued usage of the vehicle, additional components such as cruise control, trailer braking, etc., began to malfunction. Warning lights would toggle on and off, and truck began to have no-start problems with C0020 ABS codes and UO140 codes being thrown. Truck went to two Ram dealerships for inspection and neither could replicate any issues, but they were able to see the warning lights and code history. After being advised to first replace TIPM, battery, and starter, my truck has now completely died in my driveway. When I attempt to start, the check engine light comes on (in addition to ABS, trailer brake, traction control, etc.) and flashes between 3-10 times. I've now been told by dealer that the problem is actually in the ABS module and HCU, which due to the known issues with these parts may have caused damage to all of these other components, leading to the fault in the canbus system. This has been ongoing for nearly two years, which is ridiculous for the money spent on this vehicle. I've been advised by other Ram truck owners dealing with this type of situation to file a report in efforts to aid the ongoing investigation. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of any further help, or alternatively if there is a resolution to this matter. Thank you and kind regards.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that the ABS had water in the system. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The power steering and traction control became inoperable. The contact stated that the brake pedal was soft when depressed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was determined that the ABS module, the front wheel, and the rear wheel sensors needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who stated that the cap was full of grease and failed to connect, and the sensors were loosened. There was condensation in the module. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000. The contact stated it seems like with having the four wheel drive in gauge, an the abs malfunctioning, it took out the transmission.

The components that malfunctioned in my 2014 Ecodiesel Ram 1500 was the fuel sending unit and fuel pump. As I was driving on the freeway my truck started cutting out and stalling from 75 mph. It finally stalled and I was able to pull over in the middle island on the freeway I was on. The truck would start then turn off. The fuel gauge read over 1/4 tank of diesel fuel. The safety of myself or my family could have been at risk if someone else was driving that truck. Even for myself trying to pull out of full commuter traffic was very dangerous with a stalled vehicle. I don't know if the problem has been reproduced or reported by any other owner of the same vehicle. The only inspection was done by the Auto shop that works on my truck. Their were no warning lights or alerts on my dashboard display while this event took place. I had my vehicle towed to the shop that does service for me. They discovered I was out of fuel due to a faulty sending unit and fuel pump. The fuel gauge on the dash was showing 1/4 tank when it was actually empty.

No accident has happened but I have had the Anti-lock brake module go bad in my truck and it has disabled cruise control, anti-lock brakes and traction control. So basically just old fashion standard braking is all that is working. Took it to the dealership and they told me the part is on hold by Ram for review by their engineers. So I called Ram directly and they said it is under review but they could expedite the part for me. I see there is a law suit pending for the 2017-2018 Ram 2500 and 2017-2018 Ram 3500 but not any other years. After doing some further research online and using an ODB reader I see that this is actually a very common issue even with my year and model. Even at the dealership when I started to explain the issue, they stopped my and told me exactly what it was and that they have seen it many times. I believe because of the number of issues being registered online and in dealerships that this should be a safety recall, especially because we are talking about braking. I will attach photos.

Instrument cluster screen flickered dim and light for several months. Instrument cluster is now completely white showing a blank screen.

EPS went out while driving down the interstate. It is available to inspect on request. I was able to get pulled over without any accidents. Nothing confirmed from dealer yet. No warning lights came on, just happened instantly.

There’s a lot of complains a lot of people that says dodge rams have problems with the ignition switch all over the internet there’s people taking there ignitions out and open them and cleaning them with alcohol so they can work again and turn the truck on. This just happened to me it was working perfectly then it started turning on just occasionally and now it won’t work at all. This is a big problem because is on every dodge ram 2014 and older sometimes even on 2017 and 18 with all this people complaining about the same issue is obvious this is the companies responsibility and we shouldn’t be paying hundreds of dollars when it can be fixed for free if it was on the safety recall website.

Fuel Gauge sending unit in fuel tank has failed. No idea of how much fuel is in the fuel tank. 60k miles on the vehicle. Do not want to run out of fuel on an interstate or major highway and cause a possible collision.

Dash digital display screen completely black and not working. The truck was driving fine the day we noticed the screen being black but could not determine speed or anything else. Now the truck will not start.

^ months ago my truck would not start and the doors would not unlock using the keyfob. Had it towed to the dealer and they said it was the module for the key system not communicating. after 2 months they finally installed a new module. Took the truck home and it stalled on me 3 time at 70mph and the interstate. Took back to the dealer and they contacted Ram engineers and they told them it was a broken wire . Finally got the truck but would not start the next day. I have researched and found that the TIPMs were going to be recalled but it was denied. Yesterday 9/16/22 I was told the truck was ready and when I went to pick it up it wouldnt start. Is there going to be a recall on the TIPMs?

My 2014 ram 1500 went to the dealership for recalls and a wheel alignment, ecm failed to recognize new software updat and will not start, new chrysler ecm installed and truck still wont accept new software so will not start. Previous experience of a bad tipm insisted on various lights coming on tachometer display, cruise control shutting off at various speeds, engine shutting down and turning off on highway at cruising or passing speeds, had new integrated tipm installed and new Altenator, resoled issues.

The instrument cluster keeps going black.

The Uconnect system!!! The Uconnect system crashed after Ram sent a over-the-air update which had a glitch in it. The whole stereo system which includes, Air Conditioning Heating, defrost ,vent direction and temperature adjustment . If you have the app it can control remote start locking and unlocking of your doors. I have taken vehicle down to the dealership they have confirmed that it was over the air update that has caused the system to crash. So driving down the road I cannot change to defrost once my window gets fogged up. Whatever position it would be stuck in when the system crashes is the position it will be in until new system is installed or fixed. My other concern is I went to sleep one night and I wake up the next day to have my truck randomly lock itself with my keys in it. It is a key fob system so my truck will not allow me to lock the keys in the vehicle. I am concerned since it just randomly did it for no reason what if there is an emergency and I have to exit the vehicle quickly or have a child or dog in the car will it just randomly lock itself again for no reason. There was no warnings,no lamps,no signs at all the u connect system just went out.The doors locking all by them selves no warning or signs as well. After speaking with Pop-A-Lock to get my keys out of the truck he says this make year and model is in the top 4 of vehicles that just randomly lock the keys in the vehicle for no reason very concerning as a safety issue.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving at 60 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated, and the fuel gauge showed empty. While pulling over, the fuel gauge regained normal functionality. The contact continued driving to his destination. The contact was concerned that the fuel gauge sensor might need to be replaced. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 95,700.

When I drive at night or early in the morning when it is still dark out, my headlights turn off fully and I have to pull over for 20 to 30 mins to try and turn them back on

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FLICKERS AND FADES. IMPACTS SENSORS - AIR PRESSURE MONITORS ALARMS COME ON EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO ISSUE WITH THE AIR PRESSURE MONITORS, HAVING 2 DIFFERENT SHOPS CHECK ON THEM AND ADVISING THAT THEY DONT NEED REPLACING AND THAT THE SENSORS ARE GOOD. ALSO TRIGGERED AN ALERT THAT THE CAR WAS NOT IN DRIVE - EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN DRIVE. THE TRUCK WOULD NO GO - I HAD TO ASHIFT BACK TO PARK, TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTART IT ALSO IMPACTS IN CABIN LIGHTING - IT TURNS OFF AND WHILE DRIVING IT WILL TURN ON. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE IS NO RECALL FOR IT. SHOP IS UNWILLING TO INVESTIGATE AND OFFERS SOLUTION OF REPLACING THE WHOLE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WHICH IS OVER $1000 USD FOR THE PART ALONE. THIS ISSUE IS ONGOING - AND IT SEEMS TO BE IMPACTING MANY MANY TRUCKS.

The screen on my instrument cluster flashes or turns off completely. Dealership said it’s a common problem. Over $1000 to repair. There is a similar recall on other Ram trucks in the same year as mine but mine is not listed by vin number even though it’s the exact same issue described in the recall.

I was driving down the road, fortunately in my neighborhood when I saw a brief alert regarding my trailer towing system before the truck completely shut down in the middle of the road. I was unable to restart and had to call a tow service. My mechanic stated it was a crank position sensor failure according to his diagnostic computer

My dash lights have been flickering on and off during the day and night and I cannot tell how fast I am going at night sometimes. Also my backup camera does not work, sometimes.

The inline fuel system is incorrect and the electrical should not be in the tank! There should be filter at the neck then there should be a screen at the bottom of the tank where the outlet is then there should be a hose to the fuel filter and then from the fuel filter there should be an electrical pump the electrical pump should never be in the fuel tank and the electrical fuel pump is in the fuel tank which can cause I major fire! All vehicles have this problem and need to be fixed!

The inline fuel pump system is incorrect it has electrical inside the fuel tank there should be a screen at the neck of the fuel tank then there should be a screen at the bottom of the fuel tank by the outlet at the bottom of fuel tank then a hose to the fuel filter then there should be a fuel pump then the lines fuel lines to engine! Because the electrical is in the tank it will cause a fire! To fix the problem with the float to keep the electrical out of the fuel tank on the fuel gauge you should put the electrical lines at the top of the tank with a rheostat then have the float turn as it increases or decreases which turns the rheostat and sends the signal 2 the Gauge so all of the electrical is out of the tank this is the safest!

THE FUEL SENSOR FAILS CAUSING THE CRUISE CONTROL NOT TO WORK AND MY GAS GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY. THIS CAN HAPPEN UPON STARTING MY TRUCK OR DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 75 MPH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE BATTERY LIGHT SUDDENLY DISPLAYED BEFORE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS IN THE VEHICLE FAILED, INCLUDING THE POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, THE DASHBOARD INSTRUMENTATION, AND ELECTRIC WINDOWS. THE VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY DRIVEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER BOB POYNTER CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT OF SEYMOUR LOCATED AT 1873 E TIPTON ST, SEYMOUR, IN 47274 WHO DIAGNOSED THAT A FUSE IN THE ALTERNATOR HAD FAILED. THE FUSE WAS REPLACED AND THE SYSTEM WAS REPROGRAMMED AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000.

SATURDAY EVENING WE WERE EXISTING THE INTERSTATE WHEN I STARTED TO SMELL WHAT SEEMED LIKE A CHEMICAL SMELL. WE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHERE THIS SMELL WAS COMING FROM. AS WE PROCEEDED DOWN THE HIGHWAY, I STARTED TO GET WARM SO I TURNED OFF THE HEATED SEAT. WHEN WE ARRIVED AT OUR DESTINATION, I COULD STILL SMELL THE SOMETHING OUT OF THE NORMAL. I BEGIN TO LOOK ALL AROUND. SMELLING MY JACKET TO MAKE SURE THE KIDS DIDN'T SPILL SOMETHING ON IT, OR JUST TRY TO FIND WHERE THE SMELL WAS COMING FROM. FINALLY, I TURN AROUND AND REALIZE MY HEATED SEAT HAD CAUGHT FIRE. THANK GOD I HAD TURNED THE SEAT WARMER OFF MOMENTS EARLIER. LUCKY FOR ME, THE TRUCK DID NOT GO UP IN FLAMES. THE SEAT HAS A DEEP BURN HOLE AND MY JACKET (WHICH WAS BETWEEN THE SEAT AND MYSELF) HAS 2 BURNS IN IT. I WAS UNHARMED BUT IF IT WASN'T FOR ME TURNING THE SEAT OFF, I'M AFRAID OF WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED. OUR TRUCK IS STILL UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND IS NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED. HOWEVER, I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP WHO IS TO REPORT SUCH THINGS? THEY EXPRESSED THAT THEY WERE NOT SURE, BUT THEY DO NOT. WE HAVE AN OPEN CASE NOW THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP AND WAITING FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS.

MY TRUCK CONTINUES TO LIGHT UP SAYING THAT THE FUEL CAP IS LOOSE. I BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS A FORMER RECALL ABOUT A CRACK AND ENGINE COOLANT GAS GETTING INTO THE SYSTEM, AND THIS WAS NEVER FIXED PROPERLY. ALSO, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON, AND THERE WAS A FORMER RECALL ABOUT THAT AND IT WAS NEVER FIXED. THESE ARE ALL WHILE STATIONARY.

GOT OUT OF WORK ONE MORNING 11-11-2020 TRUCK WOULD NOT START , STATED WRONG KEY FOB NOT THE PROBLEM. TOOK MULTIPLE TIMES TO TURN THE KEY TO START THE TRUCK. I CHANGED THE KEY FOB BATTERY NOT THE PROBLEM. BATTERY WAS REPLACED 1 YEAR AGO NOT THE PROBLEM. THE KEY FOB IGNITION SWITCH WAS THE PROBLEM. HAD A FRIEND OF MINE TELL ME HE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN TO HIM 4 MONTHS AGO. WAS AFRAID THAT IF I TURN MY TRUCK OFF IT WOULD NOT START BACK UP.

2014 DODGE RAM LARAMIE LONGHORN, JUST BOUGHT AND MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHTS ARE FLASHING 9N AND OFF. THEY SAY ITS THE HARNESS IN THE DRIVERS SEAT. WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE IT FLASHES AND AND OFF, AND WHILE DRIVING ITS FLASHING ON AND OFF. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING MY OWN CAR.

AT A STOP LIGHT ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY, THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND ABOUT 900 FEET LATER I LOST COMPULSION. I QUICKLY GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY JUST IN TIME BEFORE THE TRUCK STOPPED ROLLING, IT JUST DIED.

MY TRUCK HAS BEEN CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD. TOOK IT TO LANDMARK DODGE IN MORROW, GA. THEY DID TWO REPAIRS TO FIX THE PROBLEM, AND CHARGE ME ON THE 8/31/20 FIRST REPAIR $968.81. IT CUT OFF AT A COUPLE MILES FROM THE SHOP. SECOND REPAIRS ON THE 9/11/20. PICK IT UP ON THE 9/14/20. THOSE REPAIR COST ME $1830.20. AGAIN IT CUT OFF A COUPLE MILES DOWN THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. I HAD COMPLAIN BEFORE ABOUT THE FAULTY TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. DODGE HAD WARRANTY THE PART. BUT SINCE THEN I HAVE REPLACE IT FOUR OR FIVE TIMES. I PAID FOR THE REPAIRS THAT SUPPOSED TO FIX IT. BUT THEY ARE NOT LISTENING TO ME. I PULL A TRAILER ON THE HIGHWAY, AND IF THE TRUCK CUT OFF, IT WILL PUT ME AT RISK AND WHO EVER DRIVING AROUND ME. THE DEALERSHIP HAD MY TRUCK FROM 8/20/20 TO 9/14/20 WITH SAME PROBLEM THAT I BROUGHT IT IN FOR. NOW I FILL LIKE THE TRUCK IS A LEMON.

RAM DASH LIGHT PROBLEMS I HAVE A 2014 DODGE RAM 1500 I AM CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE DASH LIGHTS WON'T TURN OFF. ON THE MORNING THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. I JUMPED . ALL OTHER LIGHTS ARE OFF (HEADLIGHTS/INTERIOR/ETC) EXCEPT THE DASH AND THE LIGHT THAT SHOWS IT'S IN PARK AND DISCONNECTED THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL SO I DON'T DRAIN THE BATTERY.

MY AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING, I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY FIXED A VALVE AND HOSE LEAK. AC STILL DIDN'T WORK. THEY REPLACED THE EVAPORATOR. ON THE WAY HOME FROM THAT, I SAW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ANTI SKID LIGHT WERE ON. THE DEALER FIXED THAT, THE NEXT DAY, I DISCOVERED MY PANEL DISPLAY (FOR RADIO AND REAR CAMERA VIEW) WAS BLANK, NOT WORKING. I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK IN AND WAS TOLD BY SERVICE REP IT MIGHT BE $800 FIX OR HE'D TRIED TO GET WARRANTY WHICH EXPIRED TO COVER IT FOR $50.I HAVE CALLED THE SERVICE DEPT AT DEALER TWICE WITHOUT A RETURN CALL SINCE THEN. I HAVE CHECKED ON-LINE AND FOUND SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. THIS OCCURRED WHEN DEALER WAS WORKING ON IT, TRUCK WAS STATIONARY AND ONLY TRAVELED TO AND FROM DEALER FROM/TO HOME.

WHEN I STOPPED THE TRUCK, I ACCIDENTALLY TURNED OFF THE KEY BEFORE PUTTING THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK. I SAW SMOKE COME FROM UNDER THE DASHBOARD AND SMELLED ELECTRICAL WIRES BURNING. THE TRANSMISSION DID GO INTO PARK. AFTER THAT THE TRUCK STARTED FINE, THE ONLY NOTICEABLE THING IS THE CRUISE CONTROL NO LONGER WORKS. FORTUNATELY NO ACTUAL VEHICLE FIRE RESULTED FROM THE INCIDENT. I AM TAKING THE TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE, THE DEALER HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE ISSUE, BUT WILL LOOK INTO IT.

MY DOOR LOCKS SOMETIMES WORK & SOMETIMES DO NOT. THIS OCCURS EITHER BY THE FOB OR THE PHYSICAL DOOR LOCK. IT SOMETIMES AFFECTS 1 DOOR & OTHER TIMES MULTIPLE DOORS BUT NEVER THE TAILGATE. I'VE READ THROUGH MULTIPLE FORUMS, THIS IS CAUSED BY THE BODY CONTROL MODULE.

CHECK ELECTRONIC BRAKING SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON AND CRUISE AND EVERYTHING GOES OUT. HAD BRAKES DONE, IT ALSO SAYS TOWING BRAKE. ON INTERSTATE FOR ABOUT 30 MINS AND IT DINGS, THE LIGHT COMES ON AND CRUISE STOPS

WHILE DRIVING I HAD A SUDDEN FAILURE OF THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR UNIT ALONG WITH A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CAUSED THE FUEL GAUGE TO DROP TO EMPTY IMMEDIATELY AND THE DTE ESTIMATE TO SHOW LOW FUEL. WHEN NEW UNIT WAS PICKED UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP I WAS ADVISED THAT HE HAD BEEN SELLING A LARGE AMOUNT OF THE SPECIFIC PART AND TO HOLD ONTO MY RECEIPT SINCE IT HAD A 2 YEAR WARRANTY.

THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT 49K MILES ON MY 2014 RAM TRUCK. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ONLINE, IT'S A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. MOST COMMENTS SAY AROUND 35K TO 60K MILES ON RAM TRUCKS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO ZERO. AT MOST MECHANIC SHOPS, THE PRICE IS AROUND $800 FOR THE REPAIR. THE REPAIR CONSISTS OF TWO OPTIONS.... 1) DROP THE FUEL TANK FROM UNDER THE TRUCK AND REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP W/FUEL SENSOR. 2) UNBOLT THE BED AND BACK BUMPER IN ORDER TO RAISE THE BED COMPLETELY AND REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP W/FUEL SENSOR. THIS IS A MINOR ISSUE AND HAPPENING ALL OF THE TIME. IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE AND THIS MAY HAVE TO ME DONE EVERY 50K MILES OR SO. *TR

UNABLE TO TOGGLE THROUGH SCREENS ON THE DASHBOARD AND CONTROL BUTTONS DO NOT FUNCTION ON STEERING WHEEL AND NO CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION. *TR

CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT TURN ON. UNABLE TO ACCESS HORN WILL NOT BLOW, INFORMATION BOARD UNABLE ACCESS, BUTTONS ON STEERING WHEEL FAILURE. DOES RECALL R36

ELECTRICAL SEEMS TO HAVE AFFECTED 3 ITEMS ALL WITHIN THE LAST 6MONTHS AT DIFFERENT TIMES: NON-RELATED CATEGORIES -(ONE FOG LIGHT, FRONT AIR BAGS & DASH BOARD DIMMER SWITCH) # 1 - (FOG LIGHT) ONLY PASSENGER SIDE, CHECKED FUSES, WIRING AND BULB - ALL OK, # 2 (DIMMER SWITCH DOES NOT DIM DRIVER SIDE GAUGES/PANEL) AND # 3- AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT/- WARNING SYMBOL/PICTURE SHOWS FRONT AIR BAGS. CHECKED RECALLS, NOTHING REPORTED ON YOUR SITE NOTE: ALL OTHER ELECTRICAL DEVICES ETC ARE IN WORKING ORDER AT THIS TIME (FOG LIGHT - STATIONARY/PERFORMING A WALK AROUND FOR A ROAD TRIP, GAUGE/PANEL- AT A IDLE, AIR BAGS- WHEN I STARTED VEHICLE- WARNING LIGHT APPEARED, AND DIMMER SWITCH - DOES NOT FULLY ENGAGE DIM ONLY DIMS ROOF LIGHT, NOT GAUGES- THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, HAVE A GOOD DAY!

FUEL SENSOR FAIL OCCURS WHEN TANK GETS TO HALFWAY POINT; ONCE IT FAILS THE TANK APPEARS TO BE EMPTY AND A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. ME, ALONG WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHER DRIVERS EXPERIENCE THIS. MY VEHICLE STARTED EXPERIENCING THIS WITH ONLY 50,000 MILES, THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING AND THIS IS A DEFECTIVE UNIT. A FAILURE SUCH AS THIS CAN CAUSE HEADACHES TO DRIVERS BY GIVING THEM A FALSE SENSE OF WHAT IS ACTUALLY BEING PRESENTED TO THEM ON THEIR INSTRUMENT PANEL.

FUEL SENDING UNIT MALFUNCTIONS CAUSING THE FUEL GAUGE TO GO TO EMPTY AND BACK TO FULL

ERROR CODE P0463: FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH INPUT, THIS MEANS MY FUEL GAUGE IS EXPERIENCING FAILURES AND I CAN NOT ACCURATELY DETERMINE HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE VEHICLE. DOING A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH, THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2014 RAM 1500 5.7L. I'M AT ROUGHLY 68500 MILE ON MY TRUCK SO THE ISSUE IS ALSO OUT OF WARRANTY.

HORN NO LONGER WORKS, BY PUSHING IT OR WITH KEY FOB LOCKING WHEN LOCKING MY TRUCK. I'VE READ THAT THIS HAS HAPPEN ON MULTIPLE RAM 1500S. MY JUST STOP WHEN EXITING MY TRUCK AND I NOTICE I DIDNT GET ANY BEEP WHEN TRYING TO SECURE MY TRUCK. CHECKED EVERY FUSE, RELAY, EVEN TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM. ONLY HAD THE TRUCK FOR 4 WEEKS AND THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $600. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I SHOULDN'T BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A HORN NOT BEEPING..

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BEGAN TO PULSATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS AND OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND IDLING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,900.

DRIVING ON HWY 17 DOWN A RAMP, THROTTLE SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON AND TRUCK STALLED OUT. RESTARTED TRUCK TO PULL OFF HWY/RAMP TO SAFER LOCATION, NOTICED THICK BL SMOKE BILLOWING OUT FROM UNDER HOOD. PULLED INTO PARKING LOT, LIFTED HOOD TO SEE FLAMES COMING OFF ENGINE. BYSTANDER CALLED 911 WHILE I GOT A BUCKET OF WATER. THREW BUCKET OF WATER ONTO ENGINE WHILE POLICE AND FIRE DEPT FINISHED EXTINGUISHING. FIRE DEPT STATED THEY HAVE SEEN A FEW ECO FIRES. TOWED TO HENDRICK'S, CONTACTED RAM. RAM STATED NO NEED TO CONTACT INS CO (THEY WILL HANDLE IT). THOUGHT THIS WAS STRANGE, CONTACTED INS CO ANYWAYS. INSPECTED BY 2 FIRE SPECIALISTS, INS CO AND RAM. INS CO STATED MANUFACT DEFECT, RAM STATED LEAKY INJECTOR (WHICH WERE REPLACED BY RAM 18K MI PRIOR AT DEALERSHIP). I SUSTAINED SMOKE INHALATION AND 1ST DEGREE BURNS TO FACE,NECK,LT ARM AND HAD/HAVE HEADACHES. TRUCK WAS STILL UNDER 100K WARRANTY WITH ONLY 40K. RAM DENIED OPENED CLAIM AND WARRANTY. INS CO TOTALED TRUCK OUT, THEY STILL HAVE AN OPEN CLAIM AGAINST RAM. ADDITIONALLY RAM DENYING MY EMISSIONS SETTLEMENT OF 3K ONLY OFFERING 900 (STATING EMISSIONS WORK COULDN'T BE DONE DUE TO FIRE CLASSIFYING ME AS A PREVIOUS OWNER ALTHOUGH I WAS CURRENT OWNER EVEN AT THAT TIME). I STILL HAVEN'T SETTLED EMISSIONS. RECENTLY RAM HAS RECALLED ALL 108K ECO-DIESELS 2014-19 FOR FIRE HAZARD. MY TRUCK FITS THE DESCRIPTION FOR WHAT HAPPENS AND ALWAYS NEEDED A LITTLE COOLANT WITH MAINT, INSP, OIL CHANGES. I PAID OFF MY TRUCK BEFORE, AND NOW HAVE A PAYMENT WITH WHAT I CONSIDER A LESSER TRUCK. WHEN I CALL FCA AND GIVE MY INFO THEY OFTEN HANG UP, ACT LIKE THEY CANT HEAR ME, OR STATE THEY ARE TRANSFERRING ME TO MANAGER (HANGING UP ON ME). ALSO STATING SOMEONE WILL GET BACK TO ME, BUT NEVER ANY RETURNED CALL (SUPPOSED TO GET A CALL TOMORROW, WILL SEE).

THE ODB HARNESS PLUG IN THAT THE READER PLUGS IN IS CORRODED AND THE READER WILL NOT WORK.THEY CAN NOT PLUG IN TO DO THE RECALLS. TRUCK HAS 32000 MILES AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN KEPT IN A GARAGE AND DRY. THEY WANT 836.36 TO REPLACE AND WILL NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY. IT IS UNDER THE DASH UNDER STEERING WILL AND SHOULD NOT HAVE CORRODED.

THE RADIO JUST STOPS WORKING. I HAVE THE CONNECT 5.0 MY SCREEN WILL FLASH BACK AND FOURTH FROM THE BACK UP CAMERA TO A BLUE SCREEN WHILE I'M DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING.

FUEL GAUGE MISS READS, COMMON PROBLEM IN RAMS. FUEL LEVEL NOT KNOWN. 15K MILE 2014 RAM 1500.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE CONTACT HAD JUST FILLED HIS VEHICLE WITH FUEL THE PREVIOUS DAY. THE CONTACT FILLED THE VEHICLE WITH A LOW AMOUNT OF FUEL AND THE INDICATOR TURNED OFF. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AGAIN WHILE ON A TRIP WHEN THE FUEL LEVEL WAS AT 3/4 FUEL CAPACITY. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,500. CONSUMER STATED HE IS HAVING ISSUES WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS AND SHUTS DOWN AFTER 1/2 MINUTE, AFTER REPORTING TO NHTSA.*JB

DASH LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF WHEN TRUCK IS TURNED OFF. HAVE TO DISCONNECT BATTERY FOR LIGHTS TO TURN OFF.

THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT ILLUMINATED IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FUEL LEVEL SENSOR STUCK. WHEN THE LIGHT FIRST ILLUMINATED THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. *BF CONSUMER STATED WHEN THE SENSOR FAILS ITY CAUSES THE FUEL GAUGE TO PLUMMET TO EMPTY.*JB

RAM 1500 FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY AND EMPTY SIGNAL COMES ON WHILE DRIVING OR AT A STAND STILL ALSO STATES "FUEL SENSOR FAIL"

FUEL PUMP SENSOR FAILED. REPLACED THE PART, BOUGHT FROM THE DEALERSHIP. INSTALLED AND WORKED FOR TWO DAYS BEFORE THE SENSOR AGAIN FAILED. WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED THE GAUGE DOES NOT SENSE ANY FUEL IN THE CAR. ALSO THE CAR'S COMPUTER SYSTEM FAILS TO TELL YOU WHICH PART IS IN FAILURE- THE BRAKE LIGHT INDICATOR WENT ON FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT, IT WAS ACTUALLY THE BRAKE LIGHT ON THE CAB THAT WAS OUT.

VEHICLE LOSES POWER RANDOMLY AND COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC, IN THE DRIVEWAY, AND WHILE TRAVELING DOWN A HIGHWAY AT 70MPH. IN THIRTEEN MONTHS THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN AND TOWED FOR REPAIR TO VARIOUS DEALERSHIPS SEVEN TIMES. THE FIRST FOUR TIMES IT WAS TAKEN TO A DEALERSHIP, IT WAS RELEASED TO ME WITHOUT REPAIR DUE TO THE DEALERSHIP BEING "UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE". THIS VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM COMMERCE.

THE VEHICLE'S INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FLICKERS FROM BRIGHT TO EXTREMELY DARK. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP TRACED THE ISSUE BACK TO THE ICP MODULE. AS THIS MODULE CONTINUES TO FLICKER IT DRAWS THE ATTENTION OF THE OPERATOR AWAY FROM THE ROAD. THE MODULE ALSO INDICATES ENGINE ISSUES, THIS COULD LEAD TO A LOSS OF CONTROL RESULTING IN A CRASH.

FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CAME ON. MANY OTHERS HAVING SAME PROBLEM. VEHICLE WAS MOVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH AT NIGHT, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILED WITHOUT WARNING AND THEN REBOOTED ON ITS OWN. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED, THE ENGINE COMPLETELY FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT DROVE TO M & M CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP, AND RAM (131 MILL ST, LIBERTY, NY 12754, 845-292-3500) TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED, BUT NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED BACK TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

WHILE LIVING IN VIRGINIA IN 2015, I PROCEEDED TO TAKE MY DODGE RAM IN TO CORRECT A DEFECTIVE WIRE HARNESS. RECALL NOTICE R36, NHTSA 15-459 NOTED 'THE STEERING WHEEL WIRE HARNESS ON YOUR VEHICLE MAY BECOME CHAFFED BY THE DRIVER AIRBAG MODULE RETAINER SPRING ENDS. A CHAFFED STEERING WHEEL WIRE HARNESS COULD CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT AND/OR AN INADVERTENT DRIVER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. INADVERTENT DRIVER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, DURING CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS, MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH AND/OR VEHICLE OCCUPANT INJURY.' AFTER THAT RECALL WAS PERFORMED, I LOST ALL USE OF MY HORN, AND ELECTRICAL FEATURES INSTALLED ON THE STEERING WHEEL. I DROVE SEVERAL YEARS WITHOUT THESE FEATURES AND NEVER REALLY HAD TIME TO GET THIS EVALUATED BECAUSE OF MULTIPLE MILITARY DEPLOYMENTS. WE RELOCATED TO OHIO AND I DECIDED TO HAVE THE TRUCK EVALUATED AND BASICALLY THE RECALL WORK WAS NEVER CORRECTED BY FAIR OAKS CHANTILLY CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. ON JULY 8 THROUGH JULY 11, 2019, MY VEHICLE WAS SERVICED BY JEFF WYLER CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP IN BATAVIA, OHIO TO CORRECTED THE RECALL NOTICE R36, NHSTA 15-459. MY SERVICE MANAGER NOTED TO SUBMIT A CLAIM TO BE REIMBURSED FOR $403.78. THEY REACHED OUT TO CHRYSLER HEADQUARTERS FOR FURTHER CONSULTATION, HOWEVER, THEY NEVER RESPONDED TO MY SERVICE MANAGER.

'TAKATA RECALL' WHILE MY VEHICLE IS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY IT IS UNLOCKING ON ITS OWN. HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVERY NIGHT FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS. I HAVE A SECURITY CAMERA AND CAN SEE THAT NOBODY IS MESSING WITH MY TRUCK.

APPROACHING A STOP SIGN, I STEP ON THE BRAKES THEN VEHICLE WENT INTO A SLOW COAST MODE. ( A RED SIGN TURNED ON, INDICATING AN "ELECTRICAL BRAKE" ISSUE). THEN INDICATES "SWITCH GEAR TO PARK", SOON AFTER PROCEEDED AS NORMAL. THE NEXT DAY AS I WAS STOP ON A DRIVE THRU, SAME INDICATION OCCUR, ENGINE POWER WENT OFF THEN "ELECTRICAL BRAKE" , NEXT THING WAS "SWITCH GEAR TO PARK" RESUMING TO NORMAL OPERATION. VERY CONCERN ABOUT THIS IT IS MY ONLY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM DOCTORS VISIT, IT HAS ABOUT 46,000 MILES ON IT, VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF. WOULD NOT WANT IT TO FAIL ON ME AT A MIDDLE OF AN INTERCEPTION. IN BETWEEN THESE EVENTS, THEIR IS NO LIGHT THAT APPEARS. IS THIS A RECALL ISSUE THAT CAN BE ADDRESS IMMEDIATELY PLEASE THANK YOU.

CRUISE CONTROL WON'T TURN ON. I'VE READ THAT IF I WAS ABLE TO TURN IT ON IT MIGHT NOT DISENGAGE.

IT STARTED OUT AS FLASHING INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND WIPERS RUNNING AND ENGINE WOULDN'T START. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND NOTHING WAS FOUND WRONG. MADE TWO MORE TRIPS FOR THE SAME THING UNTIL THEY SAID ANTS HAD GOTTEN INTO IT AND CHEWED ON THE WIRING INSTALLATION. THE HARNESS WAS REPLACED BUT NO EVIDENCE OF IT BEING REPLACED (ORIGINAL FACTORY TORQUE MARKINGS STILL VISIBLE). LESS THAN A YEAR LATER THE ELECTRICAL IS STILL NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON IS INTERMITTENT AT BEST. THIS MORNING THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START AGAIN AND THIS TIME IT HAD TO BE TOWED IN. STILL WAITING ON RESULTS.

TAKATA RECALL. WHEN MY 2014 RAM 1500 IS STATIONARY, MOVING, OR JUST TURNED THE CAR ON. MY TOUCH SCREEN GOES BLACK, FREEZES, AND I CANNOT CONTROLL THE HEAT OR A.C, FAN SPEED, VOLUME TO THE RADIO, RADIO, HEATED SEATS, ANY ELECTRONIC BUTTONS ON MY STEERING WHEEL OR ANY OF THE BUTTONS THAT ARE CONNECTED TO MY SCREEN/RADIO. MY DAUGHTER'S BOY FRIEND JUST PURCHASED THE SAME YEAR TURCK I DID AND HE STARTED HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH HIS SCREEN.

I BELIEVE WHEN MY TRUCK WAS IN FOR THE LAST RECALL THE DEALER SAID THEY NEEDED TO FLASH MY TIPM AND NO 8M HAVING STARTING ISSUES WITH MY TRUCK . THIS WILL BE THE FIFTH TIME MY TRUCK HAS HAD ISSUES AND NOT REALLY TRUSTING DODGE RIGHT NOW.

FUEL SENSOR FAILURE. IT IS A KNOWN ONGOING ISSUE WITH RAM TRUCKS (IT IS POSTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET) ABOUT ALL MODELS AND YEARS GOING THROUGH THIS DEFECTIVE SENSOR. IT HAS MY ENGINE LIGHT ON AND MY GAUGE STUCK ON EMPTY IF I DRIVE 15MILES ON A FULL TANK. (GAUGE ONLY WORKS IF TANK IF 100%FULL AND ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON EVEN THEN)

UPON STARTING MY TRUCK BOTH WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS, THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER SCREEN FLICKERS AND INTERMITTENTLY BLACKS OUT. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS TO MOVE THE DIC DIMMER KNOB BACK AND FORTH TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. THAT ACTION DOES NOT CORRECT THE FLICKERING. THE DIC INFORMATION INCLUDES ENGINE ISSUES, CRUISE CONTROL, SPEED, VEHICLE SYSTEMS WARNINGS, TIRE AIR PRESSURE, OIL PRESSURE, OIL TEMPERATURE, WATER TEMPERATURE, CHARGING SYSTEM STATUS, ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM STATUS, ETC. I WAS TOLD "FEDERAL REGULATIONS REQUIRE ALL INFORMATION DISPLAYS BE CLEARLY LEGIBLE.". THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, CAN YOU HELP ME TO GET IT CORRECTED? LET ME KNOW. REGARDS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE ON AIR BAG LIGHT ISSUE TO THE DEALER, LAWTON CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM'S TRUCK CENTER LOCATED AT 215 SE INTERSTATE DR., LAWTON, OK 73501. I WAS INFORMED BY AN EMPLOYEE THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS A COMMON ISSUE DUE TO A BAD DESIGN AND A CHEAP PLASTIC WIRING HARNESS LOCATED UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT. ANY SEAT ADJUSTMENTS, LOOSE OBJECTS ROLLING UNDER THE SEAT, OR EVEN A REAR PASSENGERS FOOT COULD POTENTIAL MAKE CONTACT WITH THE HARNESS IN A MANNER THAT BREAKS IT AND MAY TRIGGER THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO COME ON.. INTERSTATE DR. MARTIN OK 73501 I WAS INFORMED BY EMPLOYEE THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS A COMMON ISSUE DUE TO A BAD DESIGN IN THE CHEAP PLASTIC WIRING HARNESS LOCATED UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT IN THE SEAT THAT JUST MEANT LOOSE OBJECTS ROLLING UNDER THE SEAT OR EVEN A REAR PASSENGERS FOOT COULD POTENTIAL MAKE CONTACT WITH THE HARNESS IN A MANNER THAT BREAKS THE PLASTIC PART. THIS WOULD TRIGGER THE AIRBAG LIGHT. MY CONCERN IS, WILL THE AIRBAG FUNCTION PROPERLY IF I'M IN AN ACCIDENT? *DT DODGE ADMITTED IT WAS POOR DESIGN.*JB

VEHICLE STALLS AND LOSES ALL POWER AND ELECTRICAL, SHIFTING ITSELF INTO PARK WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS DUE TO THE FAULTY TIPM IN CHRYSLER VEHICLES. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING WITH MY WIFE AND CHILDREN ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON MANY OTHER OCCASIONS; THERE IS NO WARNING OR INDICATION THAT IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN, IT JUST HAPPENS. THIS IS UNSAFE AND COULD RESULT IN MULTIPLE FATALITIES. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE DECEMBER 2018. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MAY 2018. AFTER DOING RESEARCH AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE HAVE DONE NOTHING TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. HAD I KNOWN THAT PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE WOULD ENDANGER MY FAMILY, I NEVER WOULD HAVE EVEN CONSIDERED BUYING IT.

RADIO AND SCREEN GOES BLANK AND STAYS BLANK FOR A PERIOD OFF TIME (INTERMITTENTLY) WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE. IT EFFECTS THE CLIMATE CONTROL IE: (DEFROSTER AND HEATER CAN'T BE TURNED ON), REAR CAMERA, OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE, DIRECTION, PHONE, RADIO AND THE SEAT WARMERS DON'T WORK. THIS HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY AND IN MOTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE ENGINE REVVED AND THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. ALSO, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY AND THEN DECREASED WITH A KNOCKING NOISE PRESENT. FURTHERMORE, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT TEXAS DODGE (7800 I-40 FRONTAGE RD, AMARILLO, TX 79106, (806) 353-6343) PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V332000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL), BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE FAILURES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND THE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED AGAIN, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 127,000. *DT*JB

2014 RAM 1500 LARAMIE ECODIESEL THROWING FAULT CODE P203E REDUCTANT LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT INTERMITTENT/ERRATIC. THIS FAULT IS CAUSED BY CRYSTALLIZED DIESEL EXHUAST FLUID (DEF) ON THE INTEGRATED SENSOR IN THE DEF TANK. THE SENSOR IS UNABLE TO DETECT THE AMOUNT OF FLUID IN TANK AND WILL SHUT DOWN ENGINE AFTER 500 MILES IF THE TANK IS NOT REPLACED. I DO BELIEVE AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT RECALLS FOR THIS FAULT WHICH ARE: NUMBER: 18-038-15 REV. B AND NUMBER: 25-001-15 REV A. THE FIRST ONE COVERS A PCM FLASH FOR THE 2015 RAM AND 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. IN THE NOTES IT SAYS THAT THIS IS FOR ALL 3 LITER 8 SPEED TRANSMISSIONS. WHICH SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE A 2014 RAM ECODIESEL. THE SECOND ONE IF FOR 2014-15 RAM 2500,3500+ WITH 6.7L DIESEL ENGINES. THE ISSUE I HAVE WITH THAT IS MY VEHICLE IS HAVING THAT EXACT ISSUE AND NEEDS THE SAME SERVICES BUT IT HAS A 3 LITER ENGINE.

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY THERE WAS A LOUD THUMP FROM THE ENGINE. ENGINE LOST POWER AND SHUT DOWN. INFO SCREEN DISPLAYED 'CHECK TRAILER BRAKE,' 'ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL,' AND 'TOWING MODE''.' WAS NOT TOWING ANYTHING AT THE TIME. ABLE TO PULL TO SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY. ENGINE WILL NOT START NOW. VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. AWAITING INFORMATION FROM DEALER ON REPAIR.

MOST RECENT EPISODE OF TRUCK SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING WAS WHILE CROSSING RAILROAD TRACKS IN RURAL AREA PULLED UP TO LOOK BOTH WAYS TO CROSS THEN STARTED OVER TRACKS TRUCK SHUT OFF IN MIDDLE OF TRACK NEEDLESS TO SAY A TRAIN WAS COMING AROUND CORNER, WHEN TRAIN WAS 200 YRD AWAY LUCK FORCED IT INTO NEUTRAL. NEEDLESS TO SAY HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP MULTIPLE TIME IN 2015 AND RAM STATED IT WASN'T THROWING CODE FOR IT TO SHUT OFF. THEY LET THE DEATH TRAP BACK ON ROAD. THIS TRUCK HAS MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS.

ON THE PUSH BUTTON START WHENEVER YOU CLOSE A DOOR AN ALARM GOES OFF STATING CAN'T FIND KEY FOB. JUST PUT A NEW BATTERY IN KEY FOB AND IT STILL DOES IT. WHEN THAT HAPPENS WILL NOT START AND WHEN RUNNING THE ALARM STILL GOES OFF IF A DOOR IS CLOSED, SO YOU HAVE TO TURN OFF ENGINE AND USE MANUAL OVER RIDE TO START AGAIN

LONG CRANK TIMES BEFORE STARTING STARVED OF FUEL LIKE IT IS OUT AM TOLD IT WILL COST AROUND $1000 TO FIX IT TIMP .A RELAY FOR THE FUEL PUMP.ALSO HAVE ISSUE WITH CRUISE ALREADY REPLACED IT ONLY 60000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER AN UNKNOWN NHTSA CAMPAIGN REGARDING THE CAM LOCK, BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR WAS COMPLETED BY ZEIGLER CHRYSLER, JEEP, RAM, DODGE (3939 STADIUM DR., KALAMAZOO, MI 49008, (269) 375-4500). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,614.

IN MAY 2018 FUEL SENSOR FAIL I HAD TO COME OUT OF MY POCKET TO REPLACE. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK LANDMARK DODGE IN MORROW GA. I ONLY HAD IT FOR A YEAR, ALONG WITH THE FAKE WARRANTY THAT TURN OUT TO BE NO GOOD. I FELT LIKE THEY STOLE MONEY FROM ME THEY DID NOT WORK FOR. NOW TODAY I HAD TO COME OUT OF MY POCKET AGAIN TO PAY FOR A BAD TIPM WITH A BAD FUEL PUMP RELAY. I THOUGHT THAT IF I GET THE TRUCK FROM THE DEALER, IT WOULD BE A FEW YEARS BEFORE START HAVING PROBLEM WITH IT. I EMAIL DODGE SUPPORT ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT RECEIVE A EMAIL FROM OTHER THAN THEY RECEIVE MY COMPLAINT. VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE.

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 THE HEALTH AND WELL BEING OF MY GRANDCHILDREN ARE FAR MORE IMPORTANT THAN CHRYSLER'S PROFIT MARGIN.

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 IN A MOMENTS TIME, AND BE IN "LIMP MODE". WE CAN NO LONGER TRUST THIS TRUCK. SO DANGEROUS

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 BE REPORTED.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 65-70 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,415.

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.

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.

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 OUT OF THE TRUCK IT LOCKED THE DOORS WITH THE TRUCK STILL RUNNING AND I COULD NOT UNLOCK THE DOORS FOR AN HOUR LATER. USAA HAS TOTAL MY RAM OUT BUT CHRYSLER HAS NOT TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE THE LEAK IS A HUGE PROBLEM DATING BACK TO 2004.

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 LACK OF SAFETY CONCERNS FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS. VERY DISHEARTENING AS WELL AS FRUSTRATING

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 HAD THEM TO DIAGNOS THE CHECK ENGINE/LIGHTS AND WAS TOLD OF A RECALL AND SET UP THE APPT). 3) WE PURCHASED AN ELECTRICAL INSURANCE AT TIME OF VEHICLE PURCHASE. I DO NOT RECCOMMEND THIS VEHICLE TO ANYONE! THE LIGHTS BLINKING ON/OFF AS YOU ARE DRIVING MAKES ONCOMING TRAFFIC BLINK THEIR LIGHTS OR THINK YOU ARE TRYING TO STOP THEM. NOT SAFE AT ALL.

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.

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 THESE OR OTHER ISSUES!

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT AND VARIOUS OTHER WARNING LIGHTS RANDOMLY FLASHED SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONTACT ALSO EXPERIENCED A DRASTIC REDUCTION IN SPEED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

THE MAIN HEADLAMPS STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT. I HAD TO PLAY WITH THE KNOB TO AT 70MPH IN THE DARK TO MAKE THEM WORK AGAIN. THEY MALFUNCTION WHEN THE SWITCH IS SET TO "AUTO." SINCE THEN, THE LIGHTS ALSO TURN THEMSELVES ON INTERMITTENTLY WHEN STATIONARY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY.

THERE IS A 1 TO 2 SECOND LAG WHEN PRESSING THE HORN BUTTON AND WHEN THE HORN ACTUALLY SOUNDS. WITH THE LAG, IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SOUND THE HORN IMMEDIATELY WHEN SOMEONE IS ENCROACHING INTO YOUR LANE OR ANY OTHER TIME WHEN THE HORN NEEDS TO BE SOUNDED TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE SEIZED AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V459000 (AIR BAGS) AND 15V517000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 123,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO BIG O DODGE IN GREENVILLE, SC 3 TIMES TO HAVE THE PROBLEM OF POWER LOSS. I HAVE TO GET A BOOST EACH TIME TO CRANK EACH DAY AND THE BATTERY IS GOOD.

SINCE THIS TRUCK WAS NEW THERE HAS BEEN AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE WITH THE CONTROL PANEL GOING DEAD, OR LOSING POWER. THIS PANEL INCLUDES THE ABILITY TO CHANGE THE TRUCK INTO VARIOUS 4X4 SETTINGS AS WELL AS THE PANEL THAT CONTROLS MANY OTHER FUNCTIONS SUCH AS THE HEATED/COOLED SEATS, AIR RIDE SUSPENSION ETC. SOMETIMES THE TURNING OFF THE TRUCK AND THEN RESTARTING IT CLEARS THE ISSUE, OTHER TIMES IT DOES NOTHING. THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. HTTP://WWW.RAMFORUMZ.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=179332&HIGHLIGHT=CONTROL+PANEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO ENGAGE OR DISENGAGE 4X4 WHEN NEEDED AS WELL AS BEING VERY DISTRACTING TO THE DRIVER.

WHILE NO ACCIDENT HAS OCCURRED, IN MY OPINION THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. THE UCONNECT SYSTEM EITHER BECOMES DISCONNECTED OR HAS A POOR RECEPTION WHILE DRIVING. IT IS VERY INCONSISTENT IN THE WAY IT PERFORMS. IT CREATES A SAFETY PROBLEM BECAUSE WHEN THIS OCCURS YOU NATURALLY ATTEMPT TO EITHER RECONNECT OR DISCONNECT FROM THE SYSTEM CREATING A SIGNIFICANT DISTRACTION. ATTEMPTS BY THE DEALER TO FIX THE PROBLEM HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL.

WHILE TRYING TO ENGAGE CRUISECONTROL MUST BANG STEERING WHEEL HARD TO IN GAGE ALSO WHEN HITTING BUMP IN FREEWAY ENGINENSTOPS STAYES RUNNING SPEED LOST THEN GOES BACK TO NORMAL LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD CHANGE BRIGHTNESS AT NIGHT TRANS SHIFTS ODD AT TIMES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING, THE KEY CAME OUT OF THE IGNITION AND THE VEHICLE COULD STILL BE DRIVEN WITHOUT THE KEY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,880.

ON 12/13/2014, I PURCHASED A NEW, 2014 DODGE RAM 1500 IN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS. ON 01/23/2015, AFTER ACCUMULATING 1000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, I TRIGGERED THE KEY FOB TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE ONLY TO HAVE THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAIL. I COULD NOT START THE VEHICLE NO MATTER WHAT I TRIED. I NOTIFIED DODGE AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 01/24/2015. AFTER SEVERAL VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND NUMEROUS TELEPHONE CALLS, I COULD NOT RECEIVE ANY DEFINITIVE ANSWER AS TO WHAT WAS BEING DIAGNOSED OR DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. EVENTUALLY, I HAD TO OPEN A CASE FILE THROUGH DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY TOO, WERE MET WITH THE SAME UNCERTAINTY AND COULD NOT PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. AFTER 40 DAYS IN MAINTENANCE AND A GREAT DEAL OF ACQUIRED STRESS, THE VEHICLE WAS FINALLY RETURNED IN WORKING ORDER. THE CAUSE ? A FAULTY, TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM). UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION OF THIS UNIT I HAVE COME TO FIND THAT (1) CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, (2) THERE IS A NATIONAL BACKORDER FOR TIPM?S STRETCHING MONTHS, AND (3) LEGAL ACTION IS PENDING. DUE TO THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT I HAD TO ENDURE, I NO LONGER WANT THIS TRUCK, NOR DO I TRUST ITS INTEGRITY. ALTHOUGH THE SYSTEM FAILED AT MY HOME, IT COULD HAVE VERY WELL HAPPENED ON THE ROAD AND CAUSED ?WHO KNOWS WHAT?. I AM DONE WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

WITH AROUND 14000 MILES ON MY TRUCK I WAS DRIVING HOME AND WAS ALERTED THAT MY FRONT LEFT BLINKER WAS BURNT OUT, MOMENTS LATER I WAS NOTIFIED THAT MY RIGHT FRONT BLINKER WAS BURNT OUT. A FEW MILES DOWN THE INTERSTATE FROM THAT I WAS NOTIFIED THAT MY RIGHT FOG LIGHT HAD BURNT OUT. I WAS GOING TO TAKE MY TRUCK IN THE NEXT DAY (MONDAY MORNING). BEFORE HEADING TO THE DEALERSHIP I INSPECTED MY FRONT LIGHTS TO FIND THAT MY FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT WAS OUT ALSO. I WAITED UNTIL THE SUN CAME UP AND PRIOR TO HEADING TO THE DEALERSHIP I CHECKED THE LIGHTS AGAIN. ALL WERE WORKING SO I DIDN'T TAKE MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP (MONDAY MID-MORNING). TUESDAY MORNING THE CYCLE REPEATED ITSELF GETTING NOTIFIED FIRST OF THE LEFT FRONT BLINKER, THEN THE RIGHT FRONT BLINKER, THEN THE FOG LIGHT. I SAW NO REFLECTION FROM THE TAIL LIGHT BLINKER AS WELL. MY TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP GETTING CHECKED. *TR

THE 2014 RAM 1500 SPORT I BOUGHT HAS HAD REPEATED DASH AND INTERIOR LIGHTING PROBLEMS. THE DASH LIGHTS RANDOMLY FLICKER OR DON'T TURN ON AT ALL. ON SOME OCCASIONS NO INTERIOR LIGHTS AT ALL WOULD WORK. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES BUT STILL HASN'T BEEN REPAIRED. THE DEALERSHIP HAS DONE SOFTWARE UPDATES, RE-GROUNDED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND REPLACED THE BODY CONTROL MODULE WITHOUT FIXING THE PROBLEM. IN ADDITION THE REMOTE START SOMETIMES DOES NOT START THE TRUCK IT LOCKS THE DOORS INSTEAD, THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIND A SOLUTION. I FEEL THAT THE DIAL USED TO SELECT THE DRIVE GEAR IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD. THE DIAL IS A SIMILAR SIZE AND SHAPE AS THE COMFORT AND RADIO CONTROLS AND PLACED RIGHT NEXT TO OTHER DASH KNOBS. I BELIEVE THAT A DRIVER COULD INTEND TO CHANGE THE RADIO STATION OR TURN THE FAN DOWN BUT INADVERTENTLY TAKE THE TRUCK OUT OF GEAR. OVERALL THIS TRUCK HAS SERIOUS ELECTRICAL FLAWS AND THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING KNOCKED OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE IN MY OPINION. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THAT WAS 9/24/14. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN THROUGH A MYRIAD OF "FIXES". IT IS NOW 02/03/15 (5 1/2 MONTHS) - THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS IT IN FOR "REPAIR". THE WARRANTY REQUIRES THAT THE VEHICLE NOT BE DRIVEN WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, THUS DENYING US OF THE REGULAR USE OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH IS CRITICAL IN OUR CATTLE OPERATION. THE FULL NATURE OF THE COMPLAINT MAY BE OBTAINED BY FAXING OR EMAILING A REQUEST TO US. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT MYSELF A BRAND NEW 2014 RAM 1500 IN NOVEMBER 2014 AND TODAY ON JANUARY 05 2015 I GET IN THE TRUCK TO GO TO LUNCH AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE EXTERNAL TEMP. GAUGE READS THE IT IS -40 DEGREES WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE CONSIDERING I LIVE IN SOUTH GEORGIA, ALSO MY ODOMETER READING IS BLANK AND MY FRONT WINDOWS WONT GO DOWN. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 1,922 MILES ON IT AND ALL OF THIS HAPPENED AT THE SAME TIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO RESPOND. IN ADDITION, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000. UPDATED 2/24/15*CN UPDATED 9/11/2017*CN

THE REMOTE CONTROL CAN START THE VEHICLE JUST BY CONTACT IN A POCKET. THE AUTO START IS TOO EXPOSED ON THE KEY FOB. IT HAS STARTED MY RAM TRUCK IN MY GARAGE WHILE I WAS INSIDE THE HOUSE, CAUSING A CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD. ALSO ANY MOVEMENT CAN LOCK OR UNLOCK THE VEHICLE AT ANY TIME JUST MY THE CONTACT OF CLOTHING WHILE IN A POCKET. THIS IS A SEVERE HAZARD AND CAN COST LIVES. DODGE NEEDS TO RE-ENGINEER THE FOB TO MAKE IT SAFE. *JS

MY BRAND NEW VEHICLE HAD A FRONT LEFT HEADLIGHT THAT WAS OUT. STOPPED BY POLICE, WENT TO DEALER NEXT DAY, THEY SAID THEY SEE THIS ACROSS MODEL LINE. BRAND NEW CAR . WAS CONCERNED HOW DARK ROAD WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT..NEVER THOUGHT ON A BRAND NEW CAR THIS WOULD OCCUR ! *TR
