2015 Ram 2500 Other Problems

Your integrated trailer brake module isn't working properly — it shows no voltage when you manually activate it with the gain set to 10. This is a known issue that Dodge acknowledges may have happened due to a vendor change, but it's not covered under warranty. The fix will likely involve replacing or reprogramming the trailer brake control module.

The high pressure fuel pump is disintegrating. It has been recalled in newer dodge rams But has not been recalled 4 2015 even though it is very similar and made of the same material. This has been confirmed with the dodge dealership as this is where it sits, so it is available upon request. We had a check engine light come on prior to the incident but was never Indicated when checked at the shop that this was the problem. As far as safety goes you never know when it is going to act up. It usually doesn't have power from the get go or loses power while driving, Putting people's safety at risk as it will slow down to almost stopping or not go at all. It also continually blows black smoke. It has been inspected by the dealership. It has been inspected by an insurance adjuster all confirmed the hype. High pressure fuel pump is the problem and there is shrapnel throughout the entire fuel system.

My 2015 truck has 89,000 miles. The emission system DPF was replaced under EPA settlement with RAM at about 20,000miles. The DEF system failed at 89k. When it failed the truck started bellowing toxic ammonia from the exhaust. When the system failed, a check engine light came on and the truck indicated I had 150 miles before 5 MPH line mode. The amonia Fumes where overwhelming. You could see the cloud coming out of the exhaust. The dealer confirmed the DEF pump failed. However the pump is still working and pumped half a tank of DEF into my exhaust system in less than 30 miles. Independant shop suspects additional damage to NOX sensor and other parts as a result of the pump failure. Ram admits the pump is a high fail item but not covered past original 80k emissions warrenty. The pump is 1,400 dealer list. I have never heard of a vehicle having less than 100,000 10 year emissions warrenty. My VW TDI passat has over 150k full emissions warrenty from the EPA settlement. I don't understand how RAM is not liable for low milage emission failured below 100k miles. The pumps fail alot! Apparently they have been or are trying to redesign them. This is one leading reason why owners delete unreliable emission designs. I would like my emissions failure covered by RAM and the software logic updated on all RAMs to shut down DEF pumps when they fail so they do not produce heavy toxic ammonia clouds.

I'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS FROM MY GEAR SHIFT,IT'S BEEN GETTING STUCK IN PARK AND NOW HAS COMPLETELY BROKE FROM THE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN.

CAB BRAKE LIGHT WENT BAD AFTER 5 YEARS AND THE INTERIOR OF TRUCK WAS FLOODED WITH RAIN WATER. WATER WAS RUNNING OUT OF HEADLINER INTO THE DASHBOARD, RADIO AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE AND SPEAKING TO THE DEALERSHIP, THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR RAM VEHICLES. I NOW HAVE MOLD SET UP IN MY VEHICLE BUT CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY THAT A FIRE DIDN'T OCCUR.

HEAT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOES NOT WORK.

COOLING FAN SHROUD IS DETERIORATING CAUSING THE FAN BLADES TO SCRAPE IT. MY TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT STILL ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT. I HAD TO REMOVE THE SHROUD TO PREVENT FURTHER DAMAGE AND OR A BREAKDOWN WHILE DRIVING. IT APPEARS TO HAVE PARTIALLY MELTED WITH THE EXPECTED HIGH TEMPERATURES. I HAVE HAD NO OVERHEATING INCIDENTS TO CAUSE THIS.

VEHICLE GET'S A VIBRATION/SHAKE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (60 MPH - 70 MPH). THIS IS NOTICEABLE THROUGH THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, AS WELL AS CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN ACCELERATING, THE VIBRATION/SHAKE WILL INCREASE (OR GET FASTER/STRONGER) UNTIL I'M OUT OF THE HIGHWAY SPEED RANGE.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED IS YOUR ADVERTISING HAS GOTTEN WORSE! WHO IS YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE, CHILDREN?! STOP MAKING THE CHARACTERS SOUNDS LIKE WHINEY DORKS, PRESENT MORE REALISTIC SITUATIONS, AND STOP MAKING COPS LOOK LIKE BAD GUYS! YOU PEOPLE ARE SO OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE GENERAL POPULATION...I WANT TO STOP WEARING MY SEAT BELT BECAUSE YOU MAKE IT RETARDED TO WANT TO....

OCCASSIONALLY, WHEN INSERTING AND REMOVING THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION IT MAY CAUSE A PLASTIC PIECE INSIDE THE IGNITION TO HANG UP, THE KEY CAN BE REMOVED HOWEVER THE VEHICLE STILL SENSES A KEY IN THE IGNITION AND IT CAN BE STARTED WITH ANY KEY OR DEVICE, IT ALSO PREVENTS YOU FROM LOCKING THE DOORS. IT IS VERY HARD TO GET THE PLASTIC PIECE TO POP BACK OUT SO YOU CAN LOCK THE DOORS AND IT DOESN'T THINK THERE IS A KEY IN THE IGNITION.

INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER DOES NOT APPLY FULL VOLTAGE TO ELECTRIC TRAILER BRAKES. I HAD AN 8% GRADE TO DECEND AND WHEN I STOPPED TO CHECK MY TRAILER BRAKES I COULD EASILY OVERPOWER THEM WHEN SET TO MAX GAIN AND 100% APPLIED WITH SLIDER. WHEN I GOT HOME I RESEARCHED AND FOUND I AM NOT THE ONLY RAM OWNER EXPERIENCING THIS. WHEN I CHECKED THE VOLTAGE I COULD ONLY GET 9.3V ON LIGHT ELECTRIC SETTING AND ONLY 7.4V ON HEAVY ELECTRIC. TOWING THE SAME TRAILER AS MY FATHER'S 2012 RAM WITH INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE CONTOLLER I HAVE TO USE 6.5 GAIN SETTING VS HIS 3.5 GAIN SETTING.
