2015 Ram 1500 laramie limited 4X4 component part or system that caused the safety risk - unknown my truck was purchased new with 115 miles on the odometer on 10/13/2015 at hebert's Town & Country. On 10/16/2015, with just over 200 miles on the odometer, my wife and I were returning home from date-night. We were traveling at 60 mph down LA3132 when the instrument cluster went black, the engine shutdown, most all electronics, to include the headlights, ceased functioning and the RPM & mph gauges constantly bounced up and down. I was able to coast safely to the shoulder of the road as the traffic was light. I could not restart the vehicle so, it had to be towed back to the dealership. Five days later, I took re-delivery of my truck with an additional 200 miles added to the odometer and a verbal explanation (no paperwork) that the power distribution center had to be replaced. Upon re-delivery with my salesman present, I attempted to start the vehicle and the instrument cluster blacked out and the gauges bounced. My salesman went to get a service tech but, while he was gone, I heard a click in the dash and everything started working again. On 12/11/2015, with just under 60 days ownership and right at 700 miles on the odometer, I was returning home from shopping, traveling down a residential street, when the exact same problems suddenly happened again. This time, I was traveling at 30 mph and approaching an S-curve with no headlights and no street lights. I lost control of the vehicle as the brakes were very hard to apply and I almost had an accident before finally getting it stopped. The vehicle had to be towed back to the dealership again because I could not restart it and the gauges were bouncing. My truck is currently at the dealership. I'm not sure I want to take re-delivery of this particular truck.

Engine has been replaced and it is leaking oil from an unknown location.

Went to do an oil change and noticed oil in the coolant expansion tank. Took picture and showed dealership. They asked us to have it towed in. This is a larmine eco diesel with 9,600 miles on the engine. Dealership still hasn't figured out what the "did not train" error message was -previously reported along with the steering shacking at highway speeds.
I had decided to change my oil myself for the truck's second oil change because I wanted to use ams oil. I bought the filter from a local parts store because ams did not offer one. I began to drain the oil and then removed the old filter. After it drained for 20 minutes I installed the new filter and oiled the new O-ring and installed it on the factory cap and torqued it to 20 foot pounds. I poured the 6 quarts of new oil in the engine, warmed it up and shut it down. I then checked the filter for leaks and checked my oil level. Everybody should be able to change their own oil right? well I guess that's not true with this truck according to the dealer service center. It was about 3000 miles later when I was at work and noticed a puddle of oil under the truck. I looked underneath and the bottom of the transmission and other parts were coated with oil. I checked the level and nothing registered on the dip stick so I had my new truck towed to the dealer. They told me that I didn't use oem parts and I'm not qualified to change my own oil and that is why oil was gushing all over the top of my engine! notice that driving a vehicle with an engine coated with oil is a huge safety issue. The dealer charged me for a new oil change, wiped the oil off where they could and refused to have the engine steam cleaned. They sent me on the street with oil on my engine! I tried to have it cleaned but could not find anybody that could do it that day. I had to drive it the next day and it didn't catch fire so I let it go. I am now at 23,578 miles (incident happened at 16,893) and I'm starting to notice it leaking a little bit again. This is a serious safety issue! I've seen many complaints about this and somebody could get killed! now I'm going to go complain about all the transmission problems my 2015 Chrysler 200 is having. Don't buy an fca product! you will be sorry!
Fumes coming into cab through ac vents causing passengers to become ill with nausea, headaches, light headed, confusion. Air coming from ac vents during smell is reading 60-200ppm on co monitor.
The truck is an ecodiesel. This is a replacement truck from a buyback on a 2014. Both trucks are the same, one 2014 and one 2015. In cold weather they fail to start. Between the two trucks they have been towed a total of 4 times. One truck had 2800 miles the other 768. Been out of service 9 weeks. Neither truck will start after driven on a trip over 30 minutes and in cold weather. The non start condition is intermittent and not predictable.
