This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Vehicle spontaneously starts when unoccupied as in garage and continues to run. If not found while running exhaust gasses will infiltrate attached house potentially causing death. The reason for vehicle starting is a defective car-fob that starts when bumped or dropped. Dealership says it cannot be repaired. This has happened several times. Problem checked by and discussed with dealer service.
Front Tank strap holder on frame failed. The front of the tank fell down and ripped the hoses and cracked fuel filter cover. The vehicle was running and spilled several gallons of fuel on the ground.
The issue described in NHTSA campaign 18V160000 is still present in model years later than currently covered. My 2015 truck has this same issue caused by the same defect. Noise was noticed while on daily commute on interstate, traveling approx 65 MPH. Upon inspection T slot bracket for the front fuel strap was corroded causing the fuel tank strap to fall out. Fuel tank was hanging by back strap only, did not contact the roadway, and the loose strap was making contact with the driveshaft.
The speed control system was working recently then stopped for no reason. It does NOT register info on the dashboard or engage. Completely out. Due to the recalls for so many others, this needs to be added to your list.
The exhaust manifold screws are broken causing damage to the entire manifold. This is a common issue with Rams known as the -??hemi tick-?? which results in the lifters ticking do to a a design flaw that doesn-??t allow oil to properly lubricate the reservoir.
A warrantied part that was previously tried to fix my guess is prior to warranty due to the emissions lying from FCA and resulting ecodiesel settlement. So I purchased without that information being disclosed to me and know they are refusing a warrantied repair on the emissions component. Even thought the settlement covers said part.
Power steering failure, need to strong arm and muscle it in order to make turn at lower speeds, very hard to turn increasing risk of crash, dealer said there were no recalls for steering at this time. No warnings no message and this started September 5th 2021. Felt odd at first when truck grabbed the road when turning and has gotten much worse with time.truck has 80000 miles
There seems to be water coming into the cab somewhere. I grabbed the assist handle when getting into the truck, and water started coming out of the screw covers. I don't know where this water is coming from, but I am sure it can travel down into my dash and potentially cause rusting and electrical problems inside my truck where it should not be exposed to water.
While driving the shifting is hard and doesn't seem to know which gear it wants to be in at times, when put on obd scan gives P2704 code, have checked plugs, fluid levels, replaced speed sensors, and still giving same problem, also I have tried to have key fobic programed and all it will do is start, will not unlock or lock with correct fobic, gives code for radio frequency hub, I know the recalls have been checked but think they did not take.
After fueling, the gas nozzle constantly gets stuck in the trucks fill tube. It takes several minutes to pry it out. This is a very common issue with Dodge 1500 trucks.
The truck was started and moved from one side of the driveway and moved to the other side of the driveway. The truck was turned off after being moved. About 20 minutes after the truck was turned off it was found on fire. The truck was completely engulfed at that point and had also caught the front of the garage on fire. The truck was a complete loss and the front of the garage had significant damage.
Water is leaking into the left headlight housing which causes the turn signal to malfunction, significant fogging and condensation in the headlight assembly unit which reduces visibility from the headlight and causes an error message. This issue is constant since it began and has not improved. This is very unsafe and is a defect in the design or manufacture of the vehicle.
Key fob will not start engine. If you unlock doors & begin process again, it usually starts. Fob battery has been changed so weak battery not likely the problem. Problem begin began about a month ago.happens a couple times ea week.
I have been experiencing the "death wobble" anytime a bump is hit while driving at speeds of 40 mph +, on the freeway the wobble is so bad that recently my truck began swerving all over the road and almost went off-road, until I could regain control of the truck. A bump on a turn is much worse. I am so fearful of the unsafe shaking of the front end while driving higher speeds that I now avoid the freeways and take alternate routes if possible.
I cannot get assistance or allowed to speak to a supervisor or the case manager. I am just wanting to ensure that my file is complete. I also wish to know approximately when I will receive my check. Case # [xxx]. a 2015 Ram 1500 diesel. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
My 2015 Dodge Ram eco diesel caught fire, while driving on the highway. Its a total loss. I did not receive a recall notice but after research found there was a recall. Chrysler told us it was not their fault. This truck was taken care of like a child, there is no reason for the fire.
