Air ride suspension seems to be an issue in numerous vehicles. The air bags deflate and the vehicle continues to try and inflate all throughout the night which drains the battery. It-??s a continuous issue.
2016 ram 1500 sway bar stabilizer bar cracked in the recall areas but the dealership won-??t fix it for me also another part from mopar that is on back order for 6 weeks
The air suspension system on my truck failed while driving at 75 on the interstate last night, causing the truck to lean heavily to the right and disabling electronic braking. It felt like my truck was going to flip and it is nearly undriveable
I purchased my vehicle 2 months ago and no problems were reported to me. After a few weeks my driver side air bags on my suspension do not inflate. Motor is making sounds and inflating passenger side, but not driver side. Parked truck with the following warning lights on dash (service air suspension & immediate air suspension service/repair required) began contacting dealers with no response back. Even called where it was purchased with no response back either. I was able to get in contact with a dealership and they reported the following: Air suspension compressor /valve block binds/sticks. My vehicle is the main transport for my family and the air suspension deflating while driving is a safety hazard and can cause serious damage if an accident is to occur.
My truck is equipped with an air suspension system. During winter weather when temperatures dropped in the low 20's and lower, the air system blows a fuse and drops the suspension to an unsafe position for driving. It has occurred several times including while driving. A warning message sometimes (but not always) a warning is flashed on the screen to have the truck serviced immediately. I have had to cancel important trips to the hospital for my disabled wife because the truck is not reliable during Wisconsin winter weather. My local dealer has inspected and assessed he problem. He has given me an estimate to replace the system but cannot assure me that it will not fail. I called RAM customer service to get a technical explanation of the air suspension problem and solution from the manufacturer who designed and manufactured the product. I called RAM customer service seeking an answer. I cannot justify spending $4000 on something than will not solve the problem. I was not told by the original dealer that I couldn-??t drive the truck in Wisconsin winters. There are many people complaining about this on RAM forums and other internet sites. This is obviously a problem and I need a truck that will be reliable to drive safely during winter.

The ram air suspension keeps failing causing the car to drop to bump stops and mounts around out of control. The suspension on my vehicle has been repaired multiple times throughout the years.

The component that failed was the air ride suspension. When outside air temperature drooped to 0? then the air ride suspension lowered to the bottom and would not inflate. With this the wheels are out of alignment, tires scrape on fenders when turning and there is no suspension, spring action. I had the truck taken to the Ram repair center, they reset the computer and kept the truck in a warm shop until suspension continued to work. The following week when outside air temperature dropped to 0? the same thing happened. Every year truck suspension goes out. No warning. Where I live the outside air temperature below 0? is common in the winter and can last over a week at a time.

Factory 4 corner air suspension empties and truck lowers when cold. The suspension will drop in cold temps while driving. This then cause a very hard drive that is hard to control especially in snow. Truck suspension was fixed 6 months ago to the best of the dealerships ability. The suspension has dropped 3 times this December during snow storms and almost caused me to ditch the truck and loose control. Dealership is giving me the run around. This is not an uncommon issue the the air suspension according to different dodge forums on the internet. Their is something wrong with entire air system including the electrical system that controls the suspension. So the system could be in normal range but it is actually lowered to the ground.

Air suspension cuts in an out while driving. Causing my vehicle to have zero suspension at highway speeds. Without suspension any little bump in the road is causing the back end of my vehicle to jump around sending me into other lanes. This is a serious issue according to many forums and complaints I have read after purchasing the vehicle.
Air suspension randomly fails to inflate, 1 or multiple bags do not inflate. Drivability is very dangerous as you have no suspension keeping the tires on the ground when going over any bumps on the road. Steering can also be affected as it can lean to one side causing steering pull to that side that is deflated. Loss of control is a factor as well while turning and accelerating, with the harshness of no suspension keeping the wheels in contact of the ground, even little input to the accelerator will put unpredictable power to the wheels usually losing grip putting the vehicle into an oversteer event.
