Truck loses power when you accelerate at any various moments. Forces you to put it in park and then I'll have to restart the engine and then it'll drive normal like nothing happen. Power steering is a little hard which cruise control doesn't work when this is happening.
During colder weather the power steering does not work. Any time the temperature is below 65 the light blinks and there is no steering. Even after cleaning battery connections well and replacing the fuses it does not work. We were towing just fine in the afternoon then in the morning when we attempted to drive it was out!
About a year ago my vehicles auto traction, brake light and abs light illuminated. The warning that my vehicle gives when I turn it on and start is braking system needs serviced and electrical breaking system needs serviced. The code that shows in diagnosis is abs brake module needs replaced. My brakes have not been right. The part has been back ordered for over a year. There are no parts and my dealer and Ram answer is it-??s under engineering review till January 15. The dealership answer is get one from the junk yard which they-??re aren-??t any. I wouldn-??t feel confident driving my grand babies with used brake parts. I was in an accident today because of brake failure and thankfully I didn-??t hurt anyone in the car in front of me.
On my 2015 ram 1500, When it's gets cold out my EPS freezes up to the point where I cannot turn the wheels. I have to let my vehicle run for awhile to regain steering. It also keeps going out when I'm driving. Some days my steering will work fine and other days it doesn't. There is no warning light that comes on on the dash before the steering doesn't work.
Air bad for rear seat warning light. I can-??t drive with my kids in vehicle. Erratic fuel issues stalling bad computer gives faulty reading. Cause me to get in necessary maintenance. Suspension issues always shakes on highway.

The ABS, traction control and emergency brake light all turned came up on the dashboard. I believe a past recall May 16, 2018 was of a wiring issue effecting the cruise control. Since all three lights have came on, the cruise control feature is not available for use. This is a concern within the Ram community and needs to be addressed.
ABS Modular is malfunctioning and recommended to be replaced. I have been waiting 1.5 years for this part and continue to be told it-??s not available. My check engine light continues to be on and my car does not function as it should. The part is identified as needing to be fixed but no parts available. I-??ve called multiple states and made over 100 calls over the year. I am stuck with a car not functioning correctly and told by RAM that I just need to wait. Thousands of people are waiting for this part I am told and other years have been recalled but not my year somehow. This is dangerous and my hands are tied. I am putting my family in danger daily driving or am out 20+k on a vehicle I can-??t drive. This is ridiculous and not a decision I thought I-??d have to make with a well known company like Ram.
ABS Module failed triggering BRAKE light service and ABS Service light, and the ESB light. 6 month + and counting to get this OEM module. Why are you not addressing the supply chain issue......
Service ABS Brake, Service Electronic Brake Throttle, Service Electronic Trailer Brake & Standard Brake dash lights are illuminated at all times. I have no Anti Lock Braking & Sway /Stability Control Light is on and I have No Stability nor anti sway control. This disrupts the Cruise Control from working. It has been confirmed by a local trusted mechanic shop. The Warning Lights have been on since June 2024. This is dangerous especially in rain and wet conditions. The truck has no traction control and fish tails at the slightest turn during acceleration.
ABS, Brake, and traction light came on. Took my vehicle to dealership for diagnostic. The dealership stated it was caused by internal failure to ABS module and HCU. Parts are not available for repair due to parts engineering approval. This is a safety issue were the brakes could fail. Manufacturers should be responsible for repairs and recall vehicles for safety issues. How can the dealership say ABS is unavailable to order.
Was driving to store got to store came out vehicle won't start just keeps turning over. From others that have the same vehicle ecodiesel I'm told it's the tone wheel/crankshaft position. And that the cheap plastic housing chips which causes the no start. Also recall for high pressure fuel pump. And the closest dealership to me can't get my vehicle in for over a month and won't provide a loaner vehicle. I'm well over 2 hours from any other dealership. I bought this vehicle from a dodge ram dealership and was told "NO RECALLS PRESENT " they even had me sign a paper that stated that and gave me a carfax that so no recalls and no recalls ever. But turns out there are 18 recalls for this vehicle. Bought thus vehicle November 2023. So now this vehicle is sitting in my driveway not running and can't get it fixed because the closest dealership can't because they have 1 ONE technician, and no other dealership will tow it to get fix free of charge. All of the symptoms are related to both recalls. High pressure fuel pump, and tone wheel /crankshaft position. Lastly a LOT of people are having to replace the intake manifold regardless of milage for this type of motor.
ABS module has failed and is affecting steering, transmission and speedometer. Truck is not driveable and dealer cannot obtain the needed ABS module. Manufacturer is not supplying them. Truck spent June and July on dealer lot but no repair is possible. Truck was towed to my home and is useless in current condition.
No power going up hills, won't shift going down hill, park sensors lights come on, zero oil pressure then Electronic Throttle. From what I seen on internet and from others with the same issues it's due to high pressure fuel pump which has a recall on it. But when it was sold by the dealership in November 2023 the dealership said there was NO open recalls. But then I find out there is an open recall for the high pressure fuel pump. Now this issues keeps going on. And today September 6 2024 my vehicle lost all power and the fuel light and Electronic throttle Warning light came on and if I had not been in the right Lane and a turn in I would have been hit from behind!
My power steering failed suddenly while driving in the middle of a turn. I nearly crashed into a group of people on a sidewalk because the wheel was nearly impossible to turn. I was given no warnings or indicators ahead of time. I now have the "Service Power Steering" light on my dash and it is still very difficult to turn my wheel. A reputable mechanic has inspected the issue and has identified that the power steering module is completely malfunctioning and they will need to replace it entirely (quoted $3500). I have seen that there was a recall specifically for power steering on 2015 Ram 1500's, but Fiat/Chrysler has advised that my VIN does not qualify for the recall. This sudden failure on the power steering is extremely dangerous and could cause loss of the life to drivers, passengers, or bystanders. Please urge Fiat/Chrysler to issue a recall on all 2015 Ram 1500's!
Upon startup the vehicle routinely fails to load the infotainment/center console. This failure prevents the operator from seeing the rear view camera. Nothing in the console comes online for several minutes and other times it loads just fine. It has occured on my truck more than 50 different times.
I previously sent a complaint regarding my vehicles CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. I took it to a dealership and I now have to wait for the part to be ordered! Then it is going to be about 2 weeks before it can be repaired! I was told by the dealership that this part had been on a recall list! So I feel someone should be responsible for fixing and paying for this repair! Approximately $1000! I bought the truck used so therefore the dealer I bought it from should have known this! Right?! HOLZHAUERS MOTORS..NASHVILLE ILLINOIS My truck is being repaired by ABSHER ARNOLD MOTORS MARION ILLINOIS NOW. This is close to where I now live. I really feel someone should be helping me with this repair! You can verify my info by contacting Absher Motors 618-993-5000 Help would be appreciated!
Electric Power steering it is now. I will try and keep it when repaired. The Truck would not turn with out using two hands and pulling and wasn't very responsive then. yes at an independent shop and at a dealer. No warning lights ever came on independent shop computer says working fine. Everything was fine and it quit working on a trip to the store. I'm glad my kid wasn't driving. I have drove old trucks without power assisted steering and had an idea how to get it to turn. Women and old people wouldn't be strong enough to turn it and would likely crash very dangerous. Mine obviously should have been recalled with the other 2015 models because it has failed just like them. I know this issue is still under investigation according to an article in August of 2023. This is a very dangerous situation when it happens my truck has only 113k on it. steering shouldn't ever fail at that low of use. These should be banned they are not safe.
The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle and while the vehicle was idling, the message "Regeneration Mode" was displayed on the instrument panel and the vehicle failed to start. The contact made several attempts to start the vehicle. The dealer was contacted. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 200,000. Parts distribution disconnect.
I am having an issue with my 2015 dodge ram 77000 miles. I get two messages, SERVICE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM and SERVICE ELECTRONIC BRAKING SYSTEM, AND THE BRAKE LIGHT IS ON, ABS LIGHT AND TRACKING LIGHT. AFTENR READING ALL THE COMMENTS I REALLY DONT HAVE MONEY TO KEEP SPENDING ON REPAIRS AND THE ISSUSE JUST COMES BACK. I DON'T DRIVE OVER 50 MILES BECAUSE I AM AFRAID OF THE DANGER OF THE BRAKES.
Driving down the freeway Without warning vehicle dashboard started throwing out all kind of code warnings. Vehicle went into limp mode. Vehicle started on fire. Dealership states the blue def system was at fault. A problem this same dealer fixed just last year. At a cost of over $3000. This time with the fire the bill is over $8000. Not to mention the def system recall from a few years back where these components were suppose to be under an extended warranty. What is a consumer to do. We are at the mercy of these dealers Thank you [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
