2015 Ram 1500 Complaint Log

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 contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power. The contact was able to pull into his driveway. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start as needed. The local dealer was contacted and advised the contact that the vehicle was unsafe to drive. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 170,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

The tailgate recall was supposed to have been fixed, but it didn't work. The tailgate has dropped down at least 4 or 5 times since the supposed recall repair. The last time, it hit the jack on the trailer I was pulling and did quite a bit of damage to the tailgate. I have already submitted this information to Mopar around the 15th and was told I would be contacted within 1 business day, but was not contacted. I have uploaded pictures showing the damage. I have not contacted the insurance company yet.

ABS, Traction Control, and cruise control not functioning due to failed ABS module. The part # is 68228991AD and they have been on back order for over a year according to my local dealer where I purchased the vehicle; and with no ETA available on when one will become available.

Rack and pinion loss of power can’t steer it to hard to make a turn or do a lane change

I was driving home when the power steering suddenly failed and I received an emergency alert on my dashboard simultaneously. I was in the middle of heavy traffic and I had cars to my left and a curb and sidewalk to my right. There was no prior warning to this event. There was nowhere for me to pull over when the incident occurred, but I was able to nurse the vehicle to my home. I took the vehicle to my dealer where they determined that I needed a complete new rack and pinion power steering. Dealer installed NAPA approved part which cost me $1878.28 plus $390.89 for the installation. Total cost of this specific repair was $2269.17. The incident and repair took place in October 2022. The NAPA approved part was selected due to the timeliness of the repair needed.

The electric power steering racks on these trucks fail, and can cause an increased risk of losing control causing an accident. Mine is starting to fail, and Dodge is saying that they haven't issued a recall. I believe that they should.

Both manifolds were leaking exhaust into the cab causing an unsafe environment for the occupants inside the truck. With only 68,700 miles on the truck it was discovered the passenger side exhaust manifold had several broken bolts. It was also discover driver side had cracked exhaust gasket. Now the engine ticks with just 68,700 miles on it. The mechanic is telling me I need a new engine. Truck was purchased new and had regular scheduled maintenance. I think these costly and sufficient repairs should be covered by the manufacturer. Too many failures in this engine to be coincidental.

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.

Catastrophic engine failure, resulting in a hole in the block!! My truck is like new, with less than 53000 miles, perfectly maintained. You could eat dinner off the engine it is so clean.

This is a MAJOR $12,000 repair which should not be taking place! Truck in shop now, but to Labor Day weekend, I have no paperwork at this time . Please let me know what you need. Thank you

Rusted out area on chassis/bracket causing front fuel tank strap to detach and hang, no longer supporting fuel tank.

Air suspension failure .Dangerous to drive. should be a recall and replacement at RAM cost

ABS and Traction warning lights come on when driving. ABS system no longer working. Problem was confirmed by independent service center as well as Ram dealership with DTCC2200-49 and U0415-00 error codes. Dealer asking $2697.80 to repair.

Air suspension will randomly deflate on one side of the vehicle making steering difficult at highway speeds. Hitting a bump or discontinuity in the road while the frame is sitting on the bump-stops (when suspension is deflated) can cause the tire to jump or skip, temporary loosing traction. It can go days or weeks without occurring, or it can happen multiple times in one trip.

Exhaust manifold bolts failed resulting in a separation of the manifold from the engine block. Resulting in a loud “ticking” noise coming from the engine compartment. Vehicle was driven to a mechanic were new bolts were installed resulting in a several hundred dollar repair cost.

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.

I have flawlessly taken care of my Ram truck. My check engine light came on P0303, cylinder 3 misfire. I had to replace the camshaft and lifters on both sides of the engine due to a continuing design flaw in the Hemi engine. This is a well known issue and it should be addressed by the government.

Truck caught on fire

There is intermittent power steering loss. My truck is not part of the recall to replace the EPS for recall S19.

...The component that failed is the ABS and traction system, the hitch brake system and the cruise control also stopped working, all this abs and traction system when it stops working can cause the vehicle to not move have correct performance in its braking and skidding system, which can be dangerous, especially in severe rainy and humid climates. I took the car for inspection to the dealer in naplenton in kisiimmee fl and the diagnosis so far is that it has damage to the abs module and the abs pump, which must be replaced and whose price for parts and labor is around 1615 $ with a tendency to increase according to the dealer, so far I only have the diagnosis and quote of the arrangement, since the parts take around 7 days to be available. Yesterday I contacted the FCA inquiring about the warranties of the car on these parts and about an extended warranty that they had offered me in the past tense due to other damages that I had previously in the vehicle with other parts, I did not get a response from FCA about that warranty and The dealer tells me that I do not have any warranties to cover this repair, so I will have to put it out of my pocket. It should be noted that my truck is from 2015 and it is a work vehicle and it only has 54,000 thousand miles, that is, it is a truck that has been given the use and exploitation for which it is designed .... thank you very much

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.

Went to go start the truck one morning and when I got in the truck as soon as I exceeded over 7 MPH it says to service the ABS system and the trailer brake system. I turned off the truck and started it again and it said the system was reporting fine. As soon as I went over 7 MPH again it said to service the abs again. I feel this may be a safety issue because it’s a component that’s needed for every vehicle like mines in the event I need to brake hard to avoid an accident. I can’t have the system say there’s an issue and say it’s ok the next time I start the vehicle.
