Air suspension compressor failed with truck in motion and the vehicle swerved. Vehicle now sits and drives lopsided. Truck had 59,573 miles when this happened. The internet is full of Ram trucks air suspension failing in cold weather regions over and over and over again. The air suspension is not covered under the power train warranty. It doesn't do any good to replace the failed oem components because they just fail in a year or two again. The safest fix is to remove the air suspension system and replace it with shocks and springs.
The compressor that operates the air suspension is bad. Upon a little research this seems to be problem with a lot of Ram trucks. Especially in cold weather climates. This happened while I wasn't driving it.
The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. While driving various speeds, the brake pedal became difficult to depress when attempting to stop the vehicle. The contact had to apply excessive force to the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. The electronic stability control warning indicator and the brake light remained illuminated. When the contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road, powered off the engine, and restarted the vehicle, he was able to drive; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate. The vehicle was taken to mcpeek's Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of anaheim (1221 S auto center dr., anaheim, ca 92806, (714) 635-2340), but no failures were found. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 78,000.
