I HAVE 27 OPEN RECALLS, the steering wheel knuckle just keeps getting looser, nothing on the column will tighten, my wipers short out, I was sold a Omission deleted truck with documentation the day of purchase it was omission deleted, I was never told this vehicle was unsafe, The manufacture wants me to pay hundreds of dollars out of pocket for them to see if it maybe safe enough. Both Chysler, and the certified dealership of ford refuse to take any accountability or action

I experienced a lack of power and I noticed that the engine temperature jumped by 40F immediately. The EVIC coolant temperature jump rapidly, but I never received a low coolant warning. I pulled the truck off of I-25 Northbound just south of the WY border. I waited for the vehicle to cool and added all of the coolant I had on hand, about 1.5 gallons. I carefully limped into Cheyenne, WY, towing my 40' 5th wheel to a spot where we could stay. I contacted Cowboy Dodge to identify the problem and repair it. The technician looked at my vehicle and he indicated the EGR valve was bad and needed replaced. The repair invoice is attached for reference. We departed Cheyenne after the fix, and we only got 44 miles out of town on I-80 when the engine coolant light illuminated, and the temp started to spike again. I coasted down the pass into Laramie, WY, in an attempt to get into cell service range and to get the truck off of the road if possible. We ended up stranded on I-80 just east of the exit for 4-hours waiting on a tow vehicle that could take us back to Cheyenne, WY, with our RV in tow. The same technician at Cowboy looked at the truck again and he indicated that the EGR cooler had failed. The failure allowed coolant to leak, undetected, into the combustion chamber. This caused carbon deposits, coal-like remnants, to be deposited throughout the motor and it was especially noticeable on the heat exchanger (see attached). This issue cased $7,000+ damage to my truck and I'm still finding issues related to the failure. I've had injectors fail, the heater core needed replaced again (3d), and the truck is smoking on startup with diminished power and sputtering at speed. I've included all Ram 2021 servicing invoices. This situation could have resulted in a catastrophic runaway on the motor resulting in fire. I lucked out by watching the gages. Stellantis (FCA) should be held accountable for their modifications to the Cummins motor causing these issues.

Replaced under warranty. Replacement pump failed shortly after install while testing. Tech found burn and shorted wires in harness behind left front wheel well. Tech spliced damaged wires and test with another pump. However on further testing found the shorts damaged the BCM(body control module) which related in fuel guage not working. Replaced BCM. Warranty would not cover repair to wire harness or BCM. All seemed to be working while traveling back home however the backup guide lines for backup camera do not appear now.

Experienced acceleration lag or dead pedal as others refer to it. In an intersection ready to turn, plenty of time to cross to the left before oncoming traffic. Start to turn step on the gas and nothing for 2 a 3 seconds. About had a heart attack right there. Oncoming traffic slams on their brakes, lays on horn and gestures at me with their middle digit as my truck finally accelerates out of the way.

Truck at factory high idle, parked in driveway ac on max cool and the fan clutch engagement caused the rubber fan shroud to sucked into the engines cooling fan. Ram star case #: 1307000002. Just purchased used, and there isnt even a bolt to secure the fan shroud making it even more susceptible to become intangled and puncture of the radiator is the result. Vehicle if moving could cause engine failures due to extremely poor design of soft plyable rubber to be in a high volume negative pressure situation. Loss of brakes and steering could soon follow. Ram knows of the issue yet declines to fix under power train warranty because the radiator and engine cooling fan doesnt fall under powertrain, yet it is as important or more important than engine lubrication and safety of occupants in the vehicle if descending a mountain pass pulling a heavy load which could result in loss of life.

Low engine RPM throttle response from dead stop or rolling pace (5-35 mph) experiences 3-5 second lag before engine responds and accelerates. This has caused numerous close calls when turning in front of oncoming traffic on clear road conditions. To compensate, my driving habits have resorted to "power brake" the vehicle to increase engine RPM's in order to accelerate and clear oncoming traffic. I have owned/driven 3/4 & 1 ton cummins diesel vehicles prior to my 2014 model with no similar issues. When towing, the issue is much less noticeable. At this point I am ready to sell and buy another brand due to safety concerns. My wife does not feel safe driving or riding in the vehicle and is concerned that I Transport our kids to and from school daily in the vehicle. Online research indicates this is a common issue with this model/year group and has coined the condition as "dead pedal". it seems that this dead pedal condition continues to worsen with my vehicle the more it is driven. Not sure what next steps are here, I explained my experiences to multiple service techs and larry H miller Dodge in sandy ut, where I have the vehicle serviced... it was the "first time they had heard of it" response each time. No help to be found at the dealership. Not sure where else to turn for help with my ~$60K vehicle that myself and family don't feel safe driving.

There is an absolute dangerous amount of "dead pedal" build into the ECM tuning on the 2011 and up cummins trucks with the 6.7 diesel. Trying to pull out onto the highway or pass someon is downright dangerous. You can put the pedal to the floor and the truck just cuts out and goes nowhere for up to 5 seconds completely losing momentum. Something needs to be done about this I am not the only person with this complaint.

Was going to merge on to the freeway the car in front of me slowed down so I had to take my foot off the accelerator pedal. A hole opened in traffic and I started to change lanes pressed down on the accelerator pedal to get up to the same speed as traffic and there was a 2 to 3 second pause before the truck started to accelerate. In that time I watched the truck behind me get dangerously close and the hole I came out of closed up I had no were to go. I took the truck to the dealer and they told me that is the way the truck is suppose to work. I test drove a truck at another dealer and it did not have the same problem. Took it back to the dealer shop and they were still adamant that the truck was working correctly. I can duplicate the problem when ever I want.

I have experienced a "dead pedal" issue since owning the truck which has caused many close calls when turning in traffic, leaving a stop sign and passing. There is a several second delay before I get acceleration and the truck gets going. It has caused me to be very nervous when driving especially with family in the truck with me.

I was trying to pull out of a drive way on a country road. The road was obscured and hard to see around the corner. I started to pull out slowly to see around the corner. I took my foot off the accelerator pedal at that time a loaded log truck came around the corner and I was in his way. I automatically pressed down on the accelerator pedal and the truck just sat there for about 2 to 3 seconds before it started to move. The log truck had all its brakes locked up and smoking. I"M really glad the truck driver had good reflexes. I don?T know if my boys and I would have made it through a crash like that. I believe this is a really big safety issue and it should be addressed at once. I was told by the dealer that it is that way for the safety of the drive train. That just don't seem right to me. Save the drive train forget the people"

While under attempted hard acceleration, the gas pedal becomes unresponsive for several moments. Several times, this almost caused an accident while performing evasive maneuvers to avoid getting hit..
