I BOUGHT MY 2015 RAM 1500 ON NOVEMBER 27, 2017. THE TRUCK LOOKED AS THOUGH IT HAD BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED AND TAKEN CARE OF. THE FIRST OR SECOND WEEK IN DECEMBER A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS PULLING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A FUEL PUMP SENSOR WHICH THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED. NOW AFTER A MONTH AND A HALF LATER, ANOTHER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS CAME ON WHILE PARKING AT A RESTAURANT. 3 CODES HAVE SHOWN UP FOR THIS CEL. THEY ARE P26AB, P26A7, AND P2681. THESE CODES HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ENGINE COOLANT BYPASS VALVE CONTROL. AFTER ONLY AN HOUR OF SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY THE FOLLOWING DAY THERE WAS A HUGE RAINBOW COLORED LEAK ON THE ASPHALT AND FLUID SETTLING AND DRIPPING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF THIS TRUCK SINCE I PURCHASED IT. IT IS JUST AS CLEAN AS THE DAY I TOOK IT OFF THE LOT. I AM WORRIED THAT THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS TRUCK NOW AND THAT THE DEALERSHIP WILL TRY AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ME AND THE FACT THAT THE WARRANTY WAS ONLY FOR 30 DAYS BECAUSE WHEN I PURCHASED IT THE VEHICLE WAS USED AND HAD 72000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS MY FIRST DODGE RAM TRUCK I HAVE EVER OWNED AND SO FAR I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE RELIABILITY. I WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ONE DAY THIS WEEK WHEN I CAN GET OFF OF WORK. HOPEFULLY THEY DON'T TRY TO "PULL ONE OVER" ON ME. ATTACHED IS THE LEAK IN MY DRIVEWAY AFTER AN HOUR OF BEING PARKED.

WHEN I PUT MORE THAN 300LBS OF LOAD ON THE BED, DRIVING AT A SPEED GREATER THAN 65 MPH DRIVE OVER A POT HOLE OR SMALL DEEP ON THE ROAD/HIGHWAY THE TRUCK STARTS BOUNCING AROUND, START AT THE RIGHT FRONT SIDE TO REAR LEFT SIDE, TO THE POINT THAT THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE KICKED IN, IT IS SO UNSAFE THAT WE AND MY FAMILY GOT SO SCARE, I THOUGHT THE TRUCK WAS GOING TO ROLL OVER, IT HAS HAPPENED IN MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, VERY VERY UNSAFE. CHECKED THE SHOCK ABSORBERS NOT LEAKING, NO BROKEN COIL SPRINGS, PLEASE LOOK INTO IT. IT IS UNSAFE, PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

WHEN BELOW 20 DEGREES THE AIR SUSPENSION LOSES ITS ABILITY TO MAINTAIN PROPER RIDE HEIGHT. SOMETIMES THE TRUCK WILL SIT NOSE DOWN, REAR DOWN, OR ALL BUT ONE CORNER DOWN. USUALLY AFTER SITTING OUTSIDE IN THE COLDER TEMPS IS WHEN THE TRUCK STARTS TO DO THIS HOWEVER ONCE IT HAS DONE SO WHILE MOVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH. WHEN TRYING TO INFLATE THE AIR BAGS THE TRUCK TYPICALLY BLOWS THE 40A FUSE CONTROLLING THE AIR SUSPENSION WHICH RENDERS IT INOPERABLE UNTIL REPLACED. SEEMS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM IN ANY CLIMATE THAT SEES COLDER TEMPERATURES. BIGGEST ISSUE IS WHAT HAPPENS IF THE SYSTEM GIVES OUT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SORT OF SPEED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND FAILED TO MOVE WITHOUT WARNING. ALSO, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL CREAKING NOISE.

TRUCK SAYS SERVICE POWER STEERING. TRUCK WILL NOT STEER AND IT'S ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL ENGINE WARMS UP, USING EXCESS GAS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I START MY RAM 1500. SO FAR, IT HASN'T HAPPENED YET WHILE I'M DRIVING, BUT ONLY TIME WILL TELL. FIAT AND MY DEALER ARE TRYING TO HELP ME. HOWEVER MY BASIC WARRANTY IS UP SO BOTH ARE SAYING IT'S NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. BOTH ALSO SAY THAT MY VIN DOESN'T MATCH ANY EFFECTED 2015 RAM 1500 THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM.

I TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A OIL PRESSURE SENSOR. THEY DID AN INSPECTION ON THE TRUCK AND FOUND THE PINION NUT LOOSE AND LEAKING OIL. THEY SAID IT WAS SAFETY RECALL P77 AND FIXED THE PROBLEM. I LOOKED UP P77 RECALL AND IT DID NOT INCLUDE 2015 TRUCKS. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT HOW MAN OTHER PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE THIS PROBLEM THAT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

I LIVE IN INTERNATIONAL FALLS, MINNESOTA AND OUR AREA RECENTLY SUSTAINED -30 BELOW FARENHEIT TEMPERATURES FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. DURING THIS COLD WEATHER, THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION SYSTEM QUIT WORKING AND I CURRENTLY HAVE NO SUSPENSION. I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON IN THE AREA THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH A DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCK WITH AIR RIDE SUSPENSION.

THE TRUCK BED TAILGATE IS HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE LOCKS. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK BED OPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON LOCAL HIGHWAYS. IN ADDITION THE BED IS NO LONGER STAYING UNLOCKED WITH THE OTHER LOCKS ON THE VEHICLE OR IT WILL STAY LOCKED WHEN THE REST OF THE TRUCK IS UNLOCKED.

2015 DODGE RAM 2500 MEGA CAB 4X4 PICKUP TRUCK. THE AIRBAG IN A 2015 DODGE RAM 2500 TRUCK FAILED TO DEPLOY AFTER THE TRUCK WAS INVOLVED IN A SEVERE FRONTAL COLLISION. THE TRUCK HAD BEEN SUBJECT TO TWO PREVIOUS NHTSA SAFETY RECALLS CONCERNING AIR BAG RESTRAINT CONTROLS (NHTSA RECALLS #15V-460 & #17V-302) AND BOTH RECALLS HAD BEEN COMPLETED BY THE TRUCK DEALERSHIP. THE TRUCK WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WHEN IT WAS STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT FRONTAL DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS STRUCK WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO DISPLACE THE TRUCK REARWARD APPROXIMATELY 15 FEET. THE AIRBAG RESTRAINT FAILED TO DEPLOY DURING THE COLLISION AND THE IN-DASH MESSAGE SYSTEM IN THE TRUCK DISPLAYED A MESSAGE ABOUT AIRBAG REQUIRING SERVICE AT THE ACCIDENT SCENE. DRIVER REQUIRED AMBULANCE TRANSPORT TO THE HOSPITAL. THE AIRBAGS IN THE OTHER VEHICLE, WHICH STRUCK THIS TRUCK, DID DEPLOY AS EXPECTED, AND THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE IN WHICH THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED DID NOT REQUIRE AMBULANCE TRANSPORT. ## VIN PASSED ## DODGE RAM 2500 2015 ##

HAVE A VIBRATION OR SHIMMY IN THE RIGHT REAR TIRE, WHEEL OR AXLE. HAVE PUT ON NEW TIRES AND ROTATED/BALANCED THEM. DODGE DEALERSHIP HAS LOOKED IT OVER AND TELLS ME NO PROBLEM. THE 2014S HAD A SHIMMY PROBLEM. I'VE READ MANY REVIEWS OF OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AT OR ABOVE 50 MPH. APPROXIMATE DATE OF OCCURRENCE BELOW.

WHEN IN MOTION, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES WITH "CHECK ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL" MESSAGE. VEHICLE ENTERS "LIMP" MODE AND WON'T ACCELERATE PROPERLY BECOMING A HAZARD TO OTHER TRAFFIC. THE OBD CODE RECEIVED IS P0299 - TURBO UNDERBOOST. THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE.

TRUCK WAS IN PARK WAS OUT OF TRUCK FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES. TRUCK STARTING MOVING HIT END OF BRIDGE AND CAUSED APPROX. $2,500.00 DAMAGE TO TRUCK AND IT WAS STILL IN PARK. WAS LOOKING AT BRIDGE AT JOB SITE AND HAD WALKED BEHIND TRUCK TALKING TO JOB SUPERVISOR AND I\ THEY TOLD ME MY TRUCK WAS MOVING. LUCKY NOBODY WAS IN FRONT, COULD HAVE HURT SOMEBODY!! THERE WAS 2 WITNESS TO THIS BESIDE ME. RAM HAS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS.

BEEN TO TWO DEALERS AND NO FIX OTHER THAN TO REPLACE THE STEERING RACK. IT'S TOO MUCH MONEY TO PAY WITH NO HELP. *TT

RAM 1500 BIG HORN WAS STOPPED IN FRONT OF MY HOME GARAGE, IDLING IN PARK. I DISMOUNTED TO CLOSE BOTH OUTSIDE MIRRORS WHEN THE VEHICLE SHIFTED ITSELF TO DRIVE. IT PROCEEDED INTO THE GARAGE AND HOUSE WALL CAUSING EXTENSIVE STRUCTURAL DAMAGE. SEE NHTSA INVESTIGATION PE16-014 FOR SIMILAR ACCIDENTS.

MY TRUCK WAS IDLING IN PARK WITH BRAKE ON. MY TRUCK JUMPED OUT OF PARK INTO DRIVE AND RAN INTO A TREE WITH NO BODY IN DRIVERS SEAT.

TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY IN WINTER CONDITIONS THE TRUCKS ANTI-LOCK/ABS/TRACTION CONTROL /4X4 AND CRUISE CONTROL ALL STOPPED WORKING AND THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING. AT 65 MPH WHILE ACCELERATING WITH TRAFFIC UP HILL ON A CORNER ON WINTERY ROADS THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE JUST STOPPED WORKING AND THE TRACTION CONTROL WAS LOST. THE TRUCK WENT INTO SEVERAL 360 DEGREE SPINS AND CAM TO A STOP ON THE FAR RIGHT SHOULDER. NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE STRUCK AND I WAS ABLE TO AVOID THE BRIDGE ABUTMENT. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO LITHIA DODGE OF WASILLA I WAS TOLD THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED (48,100 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT) BUT THE DEALER COULD NOT GET THE TRUCK IN FOR OVER A WEEK. AFTER THE DEALER LOOKED AT THE TRUCK THEY REPLACED THE R-REAR SPEED SENSOR AND SAID THAT WAS THE ISSUE. I WENT TO PICK UP THE TRUCK AND THE ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED. I LEFT THE TRUCK AGAIN AT THE DEALER. THEY THEN INDICATED THE ISSUE WAS IN THE WIRING HARNESS. I TOOK THE TRUCK HOME TO INSPECT THE WIRING. I TESTED THE CONTINUITY OF THE CONDUCTORS THAT THE DEALER HAD INDICATED WERE THE ISSUE AND FOUND NO DEFECTS. I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK AND EXPLAINED MY FINDINGS, THEY INDICATED THAT THE TECH HAD "GUESSED" THAT THE ISSUE WAS THE HARNESS. AFTER RETURNING TO GET MY TRUCK THE DEALER SAID IT WAS REPAIRED, THEY HAD PERFORMED UNAUTHORIZED WORK, CUT MY HARNESS AND SPLICED AS THEY SAID THAT WAS THE ISSUE, BUT THE ISSUE WAS NOT FIXED. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO ANOTHER LITHIA DEALER WHO INDICATED THE HARNESS WAS DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR BY THE DEALER, YOU CANT SPLICE THE HARNESS(?) ACCORDING TO THE OTHER DEALER AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IN WHOLE. THEY COULD NOT WORK ON IT ANY MORE TO FIX THE ISSUE DUE TO THE HARNESS ISSUE CAUSED BY THE UNAUTHORIZED REPAIR PERFORMED BY THE OTHER LITHIA DEALER. TRUCK STILL HAS NO 4X4, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL OR CRUISE CONTROL. THIS FAILURECOULD BE A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AND RESULT IN ACCIDENTS.

PUT TRUCK IN PARK AND EXITED VEHICLE AND IT ROLLED AWAY IN DRIVE. RAN AFTER IT FOR 2 BLOCKS UNTIL IT JUMPED A CURB AND HALTED. NO INJURIES BUT COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS.

EXHAUST FUMES FILL CABIN: 2015 4X4 ECODIESEL. WHEN DRIVING IN SLOW TRAFFIC SPEEDS OF LESS THAN 30 MPH OR STOPPED, THE CABIN BECOMES FILLED WITH EXHAUST FUMES. THIS APPEARS TO BE COMING IN THROUGH THE VENTILATION SYSTEM, AS IT IS QUITE NOTICEABLE WHEN IT IS BLOWING DIRECTLY IN YOUR FACE. IT HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND STRONGER OVER TIME. WHILE THE TRUCK IS MOVING AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT IS NOT NOTICED, OR AT LEAST AS COMPARED TO WHAT IS NOTICED WHEN AT LOWER SPEEDS OR WHEN STOPPED. THE FUMES CONTINUE TO INCREASE AND BECOME QUITE HEAVY WHILE OPERATING AT THE SLOWER SPEEDS OR STOPPED. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ADDRESSED IN A RECALL (R04) FOR 2014 AND 2015 RAM 4X2 ECODIESELS BUT NOT IN RAM 4X4 ECODIESELS AS OF 10/5/17.
