2015 Ram 3500 Complaint Log

The output voltage to the Trailer Braking system is low, only 7.5 volts. Other owners have the same problem. From what I understand there is an issue with the computer that keeps the Original Equipment trailer brake controller from delivering full power at speeds below 30 MPH. This is a safety hazard in stop and go driving. There are many complaints about this same problem in the Ram Forumz. Ram should be able to do a software update to fix the problem. One of the posts in the forum stated that Ram has the software update available but will charge a lot of money for it. This is a safety issue and these trucks should be recalled to fix the problem.

humming from the hydroboost pump, actual issue is the high pressure steering line has a nylon tube inside the hose that breaks apart and moves throughout the system. Dodge had one revision of the hose on the early model years but this issue has gone unresolved. I am afraid if i cant get it fixed it may possibly cause the brakes or steering assistance to fail.

There was a recall forced by the NTSB for a condition where the track bar adjustment nut would come loose and the truck would lose steering. The recall on the track bar was rectified by the dealer by welding the nut on the track bar. Now that the nut has been welded a proper alignment can not be preformed. There is no longer adjustment available due to the welded nut. The only way to properly fix this is to replace the track bar. I have had many communications with ram (stellantis) and they refuse to remedy this as they tell me they have complied with the NTSB’s resolution.

At about 3,000 miles I noticed a periodical head light flicker and intermittent radio issues. Shortly after that the truck has presented with periodical brake issues. My front brakes parodically drag and get hot. Typically on one front side or the other. However on [XXX] my wife and I took the truck out for a drive and both front brakes began dragging and heated up. I had to be towed 40+ miles back home. Two of my neighbors can verify I've had issues with the brakes on multiple occasions for several years now. I've had to limp the truck home on several occasions while in town and in Feb. 2025 it put my wife and I in what a consider a dangerous situation by stranding us on the side of the highway. I don't remember any warning lamps coming on but I did a scan after I got the truck back home. B170-15, B210A-16, B222C, B2861-15, P2509 & P2560 were present. I used my scanner to delete the codes and reset the EMC but am a bit hesitant to take the truck out on the road. Note: The truck has experienced a weird and harsh vibration on back of truck as well. I stop, shut engine off - do a walk around but haven't been able to pinpoint anything. Crank engine back up and problem has seemingly resolved itself. I think it's possibly a brake issue as well. At present this truck has less than 11,000 miles on it. Yes, LOL, less than 11,000 miles. Calipers and pads are in excellent functioning order. Fluid is easily pushed back into reservoir with no restrictions and no apparent degradation of flexible lines. I considered the brake fluid might have moisture built up in the system so I had a complete fluid replacement done but problem has persisted.I did read there's a recall on the the HCU/ABS unit and my truck seems to be in that category but haven't received anything from FCA. [XXX] Your attention and assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank You. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

the instrument panel dash cluster went black and now I have no information like tire pressure, mph, engine oil temp, coolant temp, cruise control,parking sensor alert, ect. I have tried everything to reboot or see if there is loose connections and have come up with nothing. this could be a hazard.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 3500. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, the steering started shuddering and the vehicle made an abnormal popping sound. The contact then noticed that the front driver's side wheel was wobbling. The contact pulled over to the side of the road and inspected the wheel. The contact noticed that two of the wheel studs of the front driver's side wheel had fractured. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously taken to the dealer to be repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V398000 (Wheels); however, the dealer informed the contact that the wheel studs did not need to be replaced. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was no longer included in the recall because the recall had been marked completed. The vehicle was not repaired and remained on the side of the road. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 166,000.

ABS and Traction control warning lights are on display. Cruise control and 4x4 will not engage due to this issue. Also causing malfunction while towing a trailer.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 3500. The contact stated while driving 35-40 MPH, the vehicle started wiggling and wobbling abnormally. The contact was able to pull to the side of the road, where he noticed that the outer rear wheel had separated from the vehicle. Additionally, the contact noticed that the inner rear wheel had separated and pinched the axle, causing the wheel to support the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where an assessment was made. The dealer determined that the wheel studs needed be replaced under NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V398000 (Wheels); however, the wheel replacement was not covered. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 183,901.

I am filing this report to highlight ongoing safety and warranty issues with my 2015 Dodge Ram 3500, which is severely impacted by Recall 67A. This recall was intended to address emissions tampering, involving significant obligations for Stellantis/Cummins Inc. under the emissions extended warranty, termed the "Special Extended Warranty." Since the completion of the recall in January 2024, my vehicle has been inoperable for a total of 148 days due to significant defects. The vehicle has required six service visits to address these issues, with the most recent visit occurring on October 31, 2024, when it was towed back to the dealership. Throughout this process, I have encountered a lack of effective communication from both Cummins and FCA, and my attempts to resolve these issues were largely ignored until I escalated the matter to federal authorities, including Randall Stone from the U.S. DOJ. The ongoing failure to address these defects has not only violated warranty obligations but also poses a risk to safety, as the vehicle remains inoperable. Impact of the Problem: The inability to use my vehicle has caused considerable disruption to my daily life, preventing me from performing essential tasks, including towing a camper and transporting heavy items. This situation has also led to significant emotional distress, given the prolonged nature of the issues and the lack of adequate responses from the manufacturer. Action Requested: I seek the NHTSA's assistance in investigating these ongoing issues with my vehicle and holding the manufacturer accountable for their failure to uphold warranty obligations and address safety concerns related to emissions defects.

Backing up 11/20/23 in our driveway, the tailgate fell down, shut it and it occurred 2 more times before it could be re-parked.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 3500. The contact stated while driving approximately 70 MPH in the left lane, the check engine warning light illuminated, and the vehicle simultaneously went into LIMP Mode. The contact was able to pull over to the shoulder of the roadway. The contact was able to continue driving, but the vehicle failed to exceed 5 MPH. Upon arriving to the residence, the vehicle was scanned, and it was determined that the turbo charger actuator had failed and needed to be replaced. The contact purchased an aftermarket part and repaired the vehicle. The dealer was not contacted. The contact later became aware that the failure was related to Chrysler Extended Warranty Coverage Number: X99; however, the contact had not received a notification from the manufacturer. The contact requested reimbursement from the manufacturer; however, the reimbursement was denied because the vehicle was not repaired by a dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 3500. The contact stated while driving at approximately 30 MPH, the driver's front and driver's side rear wheels detached from the vehicle. The contact became aware of nine broken wheel studs. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact referenced the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V398000 (Wheels) however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The contact made a local dealer aware of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the wheel studs and lug nuts needed to be replaced. The vehicle remained with the independent mechanic awaiting parts for the repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.

ABS Module failed and is not reading rear wheel speed. Shop isolated issue to ABS module, and hydraulic control unit. Four safety components are no longer working as a result: ABS braking, traction control, 4wd, and rear back up sensors. This appears to be a common issue with Rams HD trucks as the parts are on back order causing me to drive my vehicle with no safety features.

Driving down turnpike my truck went up in flames, mopar sent investigator to determine cause of fire at dealership never called me to give me a report they emailed me to badly burnt to determine cause of fire.

After I brought my truck in for recall Y26 they inspected the studs and said they were fine (not stretched which is what the recall is for). I took a trip and put 6,700 after the inspection and the dealer re-torqued the wheels. When I got back there seemed to be something wrong with the brakes and so I brought it back to the same dealer that inspected it before and verified the studs were not stretched, now found that the pads and rotors were damaged and the studs were studs now stretched. No problem before the recall but after the recall and new torque for the wheels the studs are stretched. Dodge said they will pay for the studs to be replaced but not the brakes. The brakes were fine before. If it were just the pads I would understand that this could be normal wear but the rotors being destroyed only on the wheels that now had stretched studs does not make any sense and given that it was inspected beforehand and only after the new torque did the studs stretch and damage the rotors it seems like they may not be fixing the issue that the recall was originally issued for, in fact, they may have made the problem worse. The representative from Dodge said they have not had any other complaints so the brake damage must not have been caused by the stretched studs.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 3500. The contact had initially received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V398000 (Wheels).

Additionally, the contact mentioned that the brake pedal was vibrating while depressed. There was no warning light illuminated. Upon inspection, the contact discovered that all the lug nuts on each wheel were not properly tightened. The dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 131,000.

Informed on recall for a wheel stud possibly breaking sending wheel flying off vehicle. 7 months later and no fix!! This could be a deadly occurence if wheel comes off vehicle and hits another vehicle as well as loss of control of my vehicle. I also tow 16000lb trailers!

DRAG LINK WAS TACK WELDED BY DEALER AS A TEMPORARY FIX BUT WILL NOT REPLACE IT WITH THE UPGRADE. I CANNOT GET A WHEEL ALIGNMENT UNLESS I PURCHASE A NEW DRAG LINK FOR 450.00 DOLLARS

I WAS TOWING MY TRAVEL TRAILER AND ENTERED A SLIGHT LEFT TURN AT APPROXIMATELY 50MPH WHEN MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE STARTED TO SHAKE/WOBBLE UNCONTROLLABLY. I SLOWED DOWN AND IT STOPPED.

I NOTIFIED DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT AND THEY STILL FAILED TO MAKE THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY.

TPMS SENSORS BEING CALLED OUT IN WRONG LOCATIONS FOR REAR TIRES. TPMS WAS CALLING OUT TIRES IN WRONG POSITIONS AND VALUES. FRONT WAS ALSO CALLING IT INCORRECT VALUES. DUALLY. PROBLEMS WITH INCORRECT CALL OUTS CAUSED MULTIPLE TRIPS TO REPAIR SHOPS, TO REPAIR TIRES THAT WE'RE INFLATED PROPERLY BUT READING OUT ON WRONG SIDE OF VEHICLE. AFTER LAST VISIT, DEALER REPLACED TWO ALLEGEDLY BAD SENSORS WHILE ONLY ONE BAD ONE WAS IDENTIFIED AS BAD BY DISCOUNT TIRE. WHILE ALL TPMS APPEARED TO BE READING AFTER THIS REPAIR, RIGHT REAR OUTER TPMS WAS READING A STEADY 68 PSI WHILE ALL OTHER TIRES STARTED OFF LOWER AND INCREASED APPROPRIATELY AS TIRES HEATED UP WITH DRIVING, THIS SENSOR READING DID NOT CHANGE. DUE TO CROSSED READINGS ON FRONT, RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS INDICATING LOW PRESSURE WHILE PROSPEROUS INFLATED, AND LEFT FRONT WENT FLAT, DUE TO INCORRECT TPMS SENSOR READINGS, STRANDING VEHICLE UNTIL IT COULD BE REPLACED AND TAKEN TO SHOP. CONSIDER CHRYSLER RECALL P62 ... ALSO DEALER NOW CLAIMS THAT INNER AND OUTER TIRES USE THE SAME STPMS SENSORS, WHEN OTHER HAVE REPORTED THAT THE INNER AND OUTER TIRES ON THE DUALLY USE DIFFERENT SENSORS.. BUILD DATE 10/2014 ....

CONSISTENTLY GETTING A P00AF ENGINE CODE. PERTAINS TO THE TURBO BOOST ACTUATOR. APPARENTLY THIS HAS BECOME A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MANY OF THE RAM 6.7L CUMMINS ENGINES. THIS CAN LEAD TO POOR ENGINE PERFORMANCE AND EVENTUALLY CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. CURRENTLY THE REPAIR COST JUST FOR THE ACTUATOR THROUGH MOPAR IS $3000. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS, AT A SUBSTANTIAL COST TO THE CONSUMER.

UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITION THE THROTTLE DOES NOT RESPOND IN A TIMELY MANNER. IN MERGING TRAFFIC IF YOU LET UP ON THE THROTTLE AND THEN APPLY IT AGAIN, THE ENGINE DOES NOT RESPOND FOR UP TO 2 SECONDS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, IN HEAVY TRAFFIC MANY HAVE COMPLAINED TO FCA/RAM STARTING WITH THE 2013 MODEL THROUGH THE CURRENT MODELS. THERE ARE MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS OF "DEAD PEDAL" ON EACH YEAR AND 2500 OR 3500 WITH DIESEL ENGINES, BOTH WITH THE 68RFE AND AISIN TRANSMITTER. SOME TRUCKS AND/OR DRIVERS HAVE MORE TROUBLE WITH THE ISSUE THAN OTHERS. IT IS PAST TIME FOR YOU TO GET RAM TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. I LOOK THROUGH THE MANUFACTURERS COMMUNICATION SECTION AND SEE NO RESPONSE TO THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON YOUR SITE COVER THIS TIME FRAME FOR THE YEAR/MODELS, AND THAT IS A TIP OF THE ICEBERG. I HAVE LEARN TO DRIVE AROUND THIS ISSUE MOST OF THE TIME, HOWEVER I WORRY THAT MY WIFE THAT DRIVES THE TRUCK IN THE WINTER IN ARIZONA COULD GET IN A BAD ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS. I WOULD GLADLY TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

NEXEN ROADIAN HTX RH5 LT235R/80-17 LR E. RIGHT FRONT TIRE HAS STARTED TO HAVE AN INTERNAL ISSUE. THE TIRE HAS "CROWNED" ON THE TREAD LINE. MEANING IT HAS AN ARC ON TREAD AREA FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND IS HIGHER IN THE CENTER. VEHICLE VIBRATES WHILE DRIVING IT BETWEEN 40 TO 70 MPH. ALL TIRES WERE ROTATED AT ABOUT 6,500 MILES. THE VEHICLE IS AT 7,900 MILES CURRENTLY. THE VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS HAD SOME SHAKING TO IT SINCE IT WAS NEW. IT HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. I WON'T EVEN BOTHER WITH A WARRANTY CLAIM. THESE TIRES SHOULD BE BANNED FROM US DOT APPROVAL AND FCA SHOULD BE FINED HEVAVELY FOR BEING ALLOWED TO PUT NEXEN TIRES ON IT'S TRUCKS PERIOD. ALL OWNERS SHOULD BE GIVEN CREDIT TOWARDS PURCHASING REPLACEMENT TIRES. THERE ARE MANY FORUMS WITH VARIOUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE NEXEN TIRES BEING INSTALLED ON RAM TRUCKS. FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND FELLOW RAM OWNERS THE NEXEN TIRES SHOULD BE BANNED FROM ENTERING THE USA EITHER VIA OEM CHOICE OR ANY RETAILER OR COMMERCIAL SELLER. THESE TIRES HAVE AN EARLY 2014 DATE CODE. I'LL BE PURCHASING A NICE NEW PAIR OF BRIDGESTONE TIRES FOR MY TRUCK.

RECALL V06 ALLOWS WELDING OF ADJUSTABLE PARTS. THIS MEANS WHEN STEERING NEEDS ADJUSTMENT IN FUTURE, THE OWNER IS STUCK WITH BUYING ALL NEW PARTS TO REPLACE THE WELDED PARTS!!! HOW CAN YOU ALLOW THIS BURDEN BEING SHIFTED TO THE OWNERS WHEN FCA CAUSED THE PROBLEM BY NOT THREADING THE PARTS CORRECTLY?

THE TRUCK WAS RECALLED AND A TEMPORARY WELD WAS PLACED ON THE FRONT STEERING ALIGNMENT UNTIL PARTS COULD BE OBTAINED FOR A PERMANENT FIX. NOW IT SHOWS AS REPAIRED BUT A PERMANET REPAIR WAS NEVER MADE. I CAN NOT ALIGN MY STEERING BECAUSE IT IS WELDED. AT THE VERY LEAST THIS WILL CAUSE UNEVEN TIRE WEAR AND PREMATURE REPLACEMENT
