I was pulling out from my street that connects to a two lane highway. From my street you can see if cars are coming from quite a distance away. There was a semi truck in the distance going east bound in the direction I needed to torn into. There was absolutely enough room for me to merge out into the east bound lane without the semi truck even being affected. I was now about a 1/4 mile down the road and the semi was still aways back. Then, my truck started to sputter and not accelerate and as this a two lane road there at this point was nowhere to pull over. The semi was now coming up quick due to loss of power in my truck. I turned on my hazards by this time he was close and had to make an evasive lane change to avoid running into the back of me. Luckily, there was no on coming traffic. This is not the first incident of my truck losing power and almost being rear-ended. I purchased the truck from a dealer in December of 2022. They have not been of any help, and frankly they are not willing to do a thing to help. I'm at a loss and have no idea what to do. I feel I was sold a truck with a potentially dangerous recall that can cause a major car accident which could result in death. There is no resolve for this recall at this time. This recall not only puts my family at risk, it endangers the general public.
WHILE MOVING TO SOUTH CAROLINA i NOTICED THAT SOMETHING WAS HANGING, A WIRE OR SOME TYP IF LINE, AS I CRAWLED UNDER THE TRUCK, I FOUND THAT IT WAS THE FUEL TANK STRAP. THE STRAP HAD PULLED OUT FROM THE FRAME THAT WAS CORRODED. I HAVE ALWAYS WASHED THE UNDER CARRIAGE COMING FROM MASSACHUSSETTS AND THE ROAD SALT. AT THE PRESENT TIME I AM USING A TIE DOWN STRAP TO SECURE IN PLACE. SEARCHING THE INTERNET, I FOUND THAT THERE IS SOME TYPE OF RECALL BUT NEVER RECIEVED ANYTHING IN WRITTING.
I purchased this truck brand new and am the original owner. This truck has been in the dealers procession probably over 50 times and in the shop probably close to 200 days. Most all repairs have been about computer, smog, or other engine problems. Chrysler has extended my warranty out into 2025 and extended the miles to 125k. I currently have 82k miles. It just was in the dealer 1 month ago and currently has check engine light on again. They state it is for a recall they have no current fix for and it sounds like their not even working on one. I was told that this years model with the 3.0 diesel will be the last. I went to then ask for a trade in value from a Ram Chrysler dealer, and was told they could only give me low auction value. I have an additional over $7k in improvements that I will loose. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you

I believe that Ram and It-??s parent company have intentionally not provided a recall fix for recall z46. If Ram refuses to provide a fix for the problem, and I-??m forced to drive the vehicle that could stall and crash at any time is absolutely a safety hazard. I-??ve contacted Ram cares and was told that if I-??m not comfortable driving the vehicle, to just park it and wait for a fix. This company not only provides faulty and unsafe vehicles but then forces its owner to drive them with no fix provided.
Front Strap on gas tank failed while driving. Gas tank almost fell out and 2nd strap getting ready to fail. Completely pulled out of the frame. Also damaged drive shaft from strap rubbing into the metal.
The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving up an incline at various speeds, the vehicle would jerk and hesitate as the shift to park(P) warning message appeared on the instrument panel. The contact also stated that the vehicle would stall upon the depression of the accelerator pedal. Over time, the failure worsened as the vehicle would fail to accelerate above 35 MPH. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000(Fuel System, Diesel) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. Two dealers(Ourisman Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram,12430 Auto Drive, Clarksville, MD 21029 and Antwerpen Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, 6440 Baltimore National Pike, Catonsville, MD 21228) were both contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000. VIN tool confirms parts not yet available.
Vehicle experiences frequent and increasing in frquency, extraordinary hesitation from standstill to power on. Apparent begining was subsequent to recall V08, emissions, Jan 2020. Now 'unsafe' to navigate normal traffic because of the delay in response from input (depress accelerator) to response (vehicle moving at minimally acceptable speed) confirmed by service manager at dealer. No other inspections.no remedy offered. No indicators (visualor audible) miles now appriox 51000, all service done by dealer. No accidents or injuries to report. Issue significant and worsening topoint avoid using it.
Still waiting on a call back from the dealer for the HPFP recall. Been almost 9 months now. Anyway this can be resolved before the truck stops running? I commute to work with it everyday.
Bought the truck July 2022 and since then its been problems with stalling. The vehicle cuts off driving down the road. It can happen once a day or 5 times and restart. It was harder and harder to restart and finally it down not restart at all. Everytime it has a different fuel code. Started with the gas cap, then fuel pressure sensor, then driver module, and fuel pump codes. All parts as well as harnesses have been replaced.
The recall W58. The tone ring failed and my truck shut off on highway. Dealer said I have to pay for the repair. They state that they only do the software upgrade and no mechanical repairs. How is it possible that they won-??t pay for a damage they know will happen" What is the purpose of a recall if it doesn-??t fix the problem"
On occasions too numerous to list the engine suddenly loses power. This has been very, very dangerous, especially on the interstates. The recall on the fuel pump was issued in June and 5+ months later still no solution. How much longer am I supposed to drive this dangerous vehicle?
Driving approximately 80 mph on the interstate when the truck completely shut off-total power failure. I was lucky and able to pull off, once I took the key out the truck started. Took to the dealer who stated they couldn-??t duplicate the issue. 6 months later driving on side street same issue, truck shut down while driving with complete power failure. Reported issue to dealer who said call Fiat Chrysler. Spoke to Fiat Chrysler stated no fix currently available, no rental car or loaner would be provided despite this truck being unsafe to drive.
HPFP failure causing frequent sudden decrease in propulsion while driving which is in turn endangering me & my family including young children as well as other drivers on the road. The check engine light 100% came on immediately & has been on & off intermittently until about a week ago where it is lit continuously. I am no longer able to drive my vehicle which is needed desperately for work. I immediately reached out to Dodge Ram who states there will not be an available repair for this recall until 2023. I just bought this vehicle 45 days ago & am making payments on it. There must be something that can be done expeditiously. I cannot make these payments if I loose my job. Please reply ASAP.
Loss of power. Unable to get vehicle to highway speed. Loss of fuel economy. I looked at FCA and NHTSA sites and see a fuel pump recall for my vehicle issued in June. Called local dealer Fury motors in Stillwater, MN where I am currently and was told by service dept that there won't be anything FCA will do before 1st qtr of 2023. I am stranded here with a disabled vehicle. I live in Colorado.
Truck died (stopped) completely crossing a highway and couldn't move it from oncoming traffic without disabling electronic gear shift manually. No prior indication that there was an issue. It just stalled.
Driving on interstate 65 mph there was a sudden loud grinding sound from under my truck. I pulled over and found my gas tank hanging. I was able to slowly get to and area where i could safely see what happened after looking at gas tank i found that the front gas strap rusted threw the frame and the full gas tank fell down and was hitting the drive shaft. I was able to jack up the tank and put a strap around it and drive home 183 miles. I was lucky it did not hit the road as the tank was full of gas.
