2016 Ram 2500 Other Problems

Your grab handle on the left interior broke and fell into your lap while driving because the plastic that holds the mounting screws failed. This left an airbag area exposed, creating a potential safety concern. The manufacturer discontinued the replacement part and has been unresponsive to your requests for an alternative solution.

Fuel gauge not accurate, reporting half a tank when the tank is full. Fuel gauge not working appropriately. Truck has 47,000 miles.

driving down Interstate 75 going 70 mph my 2016 Dodge Ram 2500 stalled. I had to pull over and i sat on the side of the road for 30 minutes before my truck would start back up. I made it back to Ocala and it stalled again. I waited 30 minutes and it started back up. The next day i dropped my truck off at Phillips Dodge Ocala FL. Phillips diagnosed that my TPIM needs to be replaced. I started doing research on the TPIM and noticed 2007-2015 the Dodge Rams 1500, 2500, 3500, 4500, 5500 all had a recall. How is it my 2016 Dodge Ram 2500 is having the same exact issues as the previous models? Why is my 2016 not covered under this recall?

The tail gate keeps opening on its own. It opened while towing our boat. It opened while driving home with groceries. It keeps happening but my vin has not been included in the safety recall please explain why?

WE GET DIESEL EXHAUST FUMES IN THE CAB WHEN THE HEATER IS ON. THE FUMES ARE WORSE WHEN AT A STOP OR LIGHT.

SEVERE DIESEL EXHAUST FUMES/SMELL IN CAB OF TRUCK. HAPPENS WHEN HEAT IS TURNED ON AND SOMETIMES CAN SMELL FROM OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE WHILE RUNNING. IT IS BAD WHILE DRIVING BUT WORSE WHEN STATIONARY AT STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT.

THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL 17V821000 POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:COLUMN SHIFT. I JUST BOUGHT THIS TRUCK AND WAS CLEANING IT WHEN MY KIDS PULLED ON THE SHIFTER IN THE DRIVEWAY AND IT CAME OUT OF PARK WITH NO KEY IN THE IGNITION. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO DODGE AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO RECALL AND WOULD NOT HONOR ANYTHING ON LINE THAT I HAD FOUND.

HEATER COULD EXPLODE GETTING PLUGGED AND LEAKING. WAS INFORMED BY DODGE IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM.

NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE RIGHT PLACE FOR THIS BUT FIGURED IT WAS A START. I HAVE A 2016 RAM 2500 WITH THE CUMMINS DIESEL. EVERY SO OFTEN THE TRUCK LEAKS FUMES INTO THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. I HAVE READ ON MANY FORUMS ONLINE IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM NOT ONLY WITH THE 1500 ECO TRUCK BUT WITH THE BIGGER 2500,3500 TRUCKS. RAM SAYS THERE IS NO PROBLEMS FROM WHAT I HAVE READ BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE!! ONE GUY POSTED THAT RAM JUST TOLD HIM TO USE THE RECIRCULATE BUTTON TO STOP THE SMELL. THAT'S FINE AND DANDY BUT WHEN YOU DO THAT YOU CAN NOT USE THE DEFROST WITCH IS A PROBLEM IN THE RIGHT WEATHER CONDITIONS BECAUSE THE WINDOWS WILL FOG UP. SO YOU HAVE TO ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN TO GET FRESH AIR. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY INFO YOU HAVE ON THIS ISSUE OR COULD POINT ME TO THE RIGHT AGENCY THAT COULD HELP ME FORCE RAM TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. AGIAN BIG SAFETY PROBLEM! IF SOMEONE HAS NO SENSE OF SMELL LIKE ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS HTHEY COULD PASS OUT WHILE DRIVING AND KILL HIMSELF IF SOMEONE ELSE. THANKS AGAIN

TAKATA RECALL- AFTER TRAVELING 2 HOURS TO WORK IN -6 DEGREE WEATHER I HAVE TO ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN FOR THE SECURITY CHECK. AFTER 2 HOURS OF DRIVING WITH THE TRUCK WELL HEATED INSIDE MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW POPPED AND BELIEVE THAT THE WINDOW TRACK IS MOVING WITHOUT THE WINDOW. HAD TO OPEN THE DOOR SINCE I COULD HAND THE GUARD MY ID THROUGH THE WINDOW. I'VE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT MY MODEL AND YEAR TRUCK SO I KNOW THAT I AM NOT ALONE. APPARENTLY THE DESIGN OF THE WINDOW CLIPS AND TRACK ASSEMBLY IS DIFFERENT THEN THE YEARS PRIOR. THE CLIPS ARE FLIMSY AND SOMETIMES BREAK. I UNDERSTAND THE WINDOW COULD FREEZE BUT AFTER TWO HOURS OF DRIVING YOU WOULD THINK THAT IT WOULD BE SAFE TO OPERATE THE WINDOW. ALL OF MY OTHER WINDOWS ARE WORKING FINE AFTER I HAD THE ISSUE WITH MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW.

PULLED OUT OF A SIDE ROAD MAKING A LEFT ONTO MAIN ROADWAY (ROADWAY WAS DAMP AFTER A RAIN STORM) TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLASHED AND THROTTLE PEDAL BECAME INOPERATIVE. I RECEIVED A SERVICE ELECTRIC THROTTLE MESSAGE ON THE DASH. I WAS WITHOUT ANY THROTTLE CONTROL FOR ABOUT TWO MINUTES AND IN THAT TIME WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED TWICE.

I HAVE TWO OUTSTANDING RECALLS ON MY TRUCK. THE DIESEL WATER PUMP RECALL AND THE BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK BOTH OF THESE RECALLS WERE ISSUED IN 2017 AND NEITHER HAS A REMEDY.

EXHAUST SMELL IN CAB. INTERMITTENT AT SLOW SPEEDS. DEALER SAYS USE RECICULATION ON AC TO KEEP EXHAUST FROM CABIN

RECALL FOR WATER PUMP FAILURE, CONTACTED DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES, NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX STILL AT THIS TIME, SAFETY ISSUE FOR FIRE RISK

I RECENTLY RECEIVED A NOTICE OF RECALL ON MY TRUCK, REGARDING THE POTENTIAL FOR THE WATER PUMP TO FAIL, CAUSING AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE. HOWEVER, THERE IS CURRENTLY NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. I AM VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE, NOT ONLY DO I DRIVE IT EVERY DAY TO WORK, IT IS OUR TRAVELING TRUCK AND WE USE IT TO HAUL OUR LARGE 5TH WHEEL TRAILER. THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE TO OCCUR WHILE DRIVING, OR WHILE WE'RE HAULING THE TRAILER, IS QUITE SCARY. A FIX FOR THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE DETERMINED QUICKLY.

T51 RECALL SAYS THERE IS A 1% CHANCE MY RAM 2500 2016 COULD HAVE A ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE AND DEALER SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I ASKED TO GET A RENTAL TILL THIS IS SOLVED AND WAS DENIED BY DEALER. THEY ALSO COULD NOT TELL ME WHEN REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE.

DEAD THROTTLE RESPONSE. THERE IS A SERIOUS LAG IN THE THROTTLE WHEN ,STARTING FROM A DEAD START,OR WHEN YOU BACK OFF ON THE THROTTLE AND THEN PRESS THE ACCELERATOR. THERE IS A DEFINITE DEAD SPOT,AND VERY DANGEROUS WHILE IN TRAFFIC. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE NEW

DEAD ACCELERATOR PEDAL. IF DRIVING WITH STEADY PEDAL AND LET UP ON ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THEN STEP BACK ON THE ACCURATE, THE TRUCK DOESN'T MOVE/NO RESPONSE FOR 5-10 SECONDS, THEN THE TRUCK SPEEDS OFF. HAPPENS NUMEROUS TIMES. ALSO IF AT A STOP AND NEED TO HAVE FULL POWER TO GET ACROSS A 4 LANE HIGHWAY/OR MAKE A RAPID LEFT TURN, YOU ARE A SITTING DUCK BECAUSE THE PEDAL DOESN'T RESPOND.

RAM DROPPED THE BALL WITH THE THROTTLE DELAY (DEAD PEDAL) FROM A STOP OR SLOW SPEED! 3 MONTH OLD TRUCK, NOW IN NEARLY 2 ACCIDENTS JUST TRYING TO MERGE ONTO HIGHWAY DUE TO THROTTLE DELAY WHILE MY WIFE AND 4 KIDS WERE IN THE TRUCK. 100% DISAPPOINTED - FIX OR LEMON LAW MY VEHICLE.

THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN. MY 2016 RAM HAS MAJOR THROTTLE DELAY. IT BECOMES A SAFETY CONCERN WHEN I'M PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC, LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND GET BACK ON IT AND IT WAITS 1.5 TO 2 SECONDS BEFORE THE COMPUTER RECEIVES THE COMMAND TO GIVE THROTTLE. I HAVE HAD ONE INSTANCE WHERE I WAS PROCEEDING TO CHANGE LANES ON THE INTERSTATE AND GIVE IT THROTTLE BUT IT DIDN'T RESPOND AND THEN I WAS A SITTING DUCK BECAUSE MY BRAND NEW TRUCK DIDN'T WANT TO WAKE UP AND GO. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT IS VERY WELL COMPLAINED ABOUT BY MANY RAM OWNERS AND IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS WILL GET SOMEONE EITHER HURT OR KILLED AS A RESULT.

FACTORY INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER IS UNABLE TO SAFETY STOP A 10,000 LB TRAILER. HAVE TRIED MULTIPLE DIFFERENT TRAILERS WITH THIS TRUCK AND SAME RESULTS. TRUCK CANNOT SAFETY STOP THE TRUCK AND TRAILER COMBINATION SAFELY, THE TRAILER PUSHES THE COMBINATION THROUGH A STOPLIGHT. EVEN WITH TRAILER BRAKE SETTINGS SET AT THE MAX, STILL DOES NOT SAFELY STOP THE VEHICLE. HAVE BEEN TO DEALER WITH THIS ISSUE, STATE THE THE SYSTEM IS WORKING AS DESIGNED AND REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE
