2014 Ram 1500 Complaint Log

I HAVE HAD 2 INSTANCES WITH THE ROTARY SHIFT ON THIS VEHICLE. IN BOTH CASES I HAD THOUGHT THE THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY IN REVERSE.WHEN THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY STOP THE VEHICLE WITHOUT INCIDENT. HOWEVER, WHEN THE SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED I HAD EXITED THE VEHICLE WITH MY WIFE AS A PASSENGER. NEITHER OF US WERE ABLE TO STOP IT AND CONTINUED BACKWARDS AND STRUCK A PARKED VEHICLE THAT WAS PARKED. THIS CAUSED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. THANKFULLY, NO ONE WAS INJURED AND NOW I AM EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHEN PUTTING THIS VEHICLE INTO THE PARK MODE. I CHECKED THE PUSH BUTTON IGNITION ASSUMING THAT IN AN EMERGENCY I COULD STOP THE ENGINE BUT FOUND THIS WOULD NOT WORK. IF THE CIRCUMSTANCES WERE A BIT DIFFERENT THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN VERY BAD. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED AT A CAR DEALERS LOT WHTH MY VEHICLE BACKING AND STRIKING ON OF THE CARS ON THEIR LOT.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON A LIMITED ACCESS HIGHWAY THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY PULLED VIOLENTLY TO THE RIGHT. I WAS DRIVING IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE AND THE VEHICLE MADE A EXTREME TURN TO THE RIGHT STRIKING THE GUARDRAIL. THE VEHICLE THEN REBOUNDED OFF THE RAILING CAUSING THE REAR BUMPER TO STRIKE THE RAILING. THE VEHICLE THEN REBOUNDED INTO THE DRIVING LANES BEFORE I COULD REGAIN CONTROL. I THEN PULLED THE VEHICLE ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROADWAY TO SURVEY DAMAGE. AT THAT TIME I NOTICED THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL FAULT LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. SINCE THIS WAS A ONE VEHICLE ACCIDENT WITH NO INJURIES I DID NOT CONTACT EMERGENCY SERVICES. AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT I WAS DRIVING 60 MPH. THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT ON THE ROADWAY. ADDITIONALLY THERE WERE RAIN SHOWERS IN THE AREA AND THE ROADWAY WAS WET, THERE WAS NO POOLING OF WATER AT THE ACCIDENT SITE.THE TEMPERATURE WAS AROUND 50 DEGREES AND THE GROUND WAS WARM.

THE GEAR INDICATOR LIGHT ABOVE THE ROTARY KNOB WAS STILL IN DRIVE BUT WAS BLINKING. ON THE HEADS UP DISPLAY A MESSAGE CAME UP SAYING TO SHIFT TO PARK TO SELECT A GEAR. I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED HAVING TO PARK MY TRUCK IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF A THREE LANE HIGHWAY TO GET BACK INTO DRIVE.

DUE TO THE RECENT MEDIA COVERAGE ON TV I JUST CHECKED MY RAM 1500 FOR RECALLS AND SAW THERE WERE 3 OUTSTANDING. THE ONLY RECALL I WAS INFORMED ABOUT WAS R40/NHTSA 15V-461, AND I ONLY RECEIVED THAT LAST WEEK IN THE MAIL. I HAVE NEVER BEEN INFORMED VIA MAIL, EMAIL, OR PHONE OF ANY OF THE OTHER RECALLS. THIS IS TOTALLY UNSATISFACTORY AND UNSAFE. ISN'T RAM RESPONSIBLE TO NOTIFY ME OF RECALLS IN A TIMELY MANNER?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL RELEASED, THE VEHICLE DECREASED TO 20 MPH AND SUDDENLY STOPPED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,801.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE SPUN 45 DEGREES. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A DITCH AND THE FRONT AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE DAMAGE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,320.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON A SMOOTH STRAIGHT ROAD, THE EMERGENCY INFORMATION SCREEN IN MY GAUGE CLUSTER STARTED FLASHING AND STATED "SERVICE POWER STEERING" "SERVICE ELECTRONIC BRAKE SYSTEM" "SERVICE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROLLER" "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" IT ALSO STATED TO NOT SHIFT TO PARK AS SHIFTING MAY BECOME INOPERABLE ONCE STOPPED. MY POWER STEERING WAS GONE, MY GAS PEDAL WAS INOPERABLE AND BRAKING WAS VERY WEAK. I HAD TO MUSCLE THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SLOWLY COME TO A STOP AND SHIFTED INTO PARK. I TURNED THE KEY FOB TO OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES. WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE IT WOULD NOT EVEN ATTEMPT TO TURN OVER. NOW, MY KEY FOB WAS ALSO STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND WOULD NOT TURN TO THE OFF POSITION TO REMOVE THE KEY. I CALLED CHRYSLER ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND SAT ON HOLD FOR 55 MINUTES BEFORE THE FIRST PERSON ANSWERED THE PHONE. AFTER 10-15 MIN WE HAD A TOW TRUCK SET UP BUT THAT WOULDN'T BE THERE FOR ANOTHER 75 MINUTES. SO FROM THE TIME I CALLED TO WHEN THE TOW TRUCK ACTUALLY ARRIVED IT WAS ALMOST 2.5 HOURS! GOOD THING IT WASN'T THE MIDDLE OF WINTER. THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION MODULE. THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM. THEN THEY THOUGHT IT WAS THE BCM. THAT DIDN'T WORK AS THEY NOW "ONLY HAVE COMMUNICATION WITH HALF OF THE VEHICLE". I'M STILL NOT SURE WHAT THAT MEANS BUT THAT'S WHERE WE ARE AT DAY 7. I DO NOT WANT THIS VEHICLE BACK. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT IF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS NO IDEA HOW TO PROPERLY FIX IT OR EVEN KNOW IF THEY HAVE PROPERLY FIXED IT WITH THEIR GUESS AND CHECK METHODS. IF I HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT HIGHER SPEEDS OR PULLING A TRAILER WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTEROUS! OR EVEN WORSE IF MY WIFE HAD BEEN DRIVING IN 4WD AND LOST POWER STEERING THERE IS NO WAY SHE COULD HAVE PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER SAFELY. HUGE SAFETY CONCERN THAT I WANT NO PART OF. THIS IS ON TOP OF THE 5+ RECALLS.

WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PRIVATE DRIVEWAY ONTO A PUBLIC STREET AND NEARING THE END OF MY REVERSING I HIT THE BRAKES AND USING THE ROTARY GEAR SELECTOR SELECTED "D" FOR DRIVE, THE "D" ILLUMINATED AND BEGAN BLINKING THINKING THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE I LOOKED AHEAD OF ME TO PROCEED FORWARD BUT THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO ROLL BACKWARDS AND STRUCK A PARKED CAR. I HAVE SINCE NOTICED THAT THE GEAR SELECTOR UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS WILL SHOW IT IS IN "D" "R" OR "P" WHEN IN FACT IT BLINKS AND THAT GEAR IS NOT SELECTED.

THE SCREEN IN THE MIDDLE THAT TELLS YOU YOUR MILEAGE. IT WILL START GOING IN AND OUT. MOSTLY, IT BLACKS OUT.

I BOUGHT MY CURRANT TRUCK NEW IN JUNE 2014, I FIRST BEGAN NOTICING GLITCHES LATE SUMMER 2015 AND NOW THERE ARE ELECTRIC SURGES, FAULT INDICATORS THAT ARE FINE AND LIGHTS WILL NOT SHUT OFF KILLING MY BATTERY. I BOUGHT NEW THIS TIME ASSUMING I WOULD ELIMINATE THESE ISSUES BUT I WAS WRONG, MY TRUCK HAS HAD NO ACCIDENTS OF ANY SORT AND YET I HAVE A $35,000 TRUCK THAT'S UNRELIABLE AS WELL AS UNSAFE. DURNING MY RESEARCH CHRYSLER HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS ISSUE FOR DECADES AND SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR LACK OF SAFETY CONCERNS FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS. VERY DISHEARTENING AS WELL AS FRUSTRATING

WHILE TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT AND ACCELRATING THERE IS A CLUNKING NOISE IN THE FRONT END. BROUGHT TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THE LOWER STEERING SHAFT WAS BAD AND WOULD BE REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE SINCE IT WAS UNDER WARENTY . GOT A CALL 2 DAYS LATER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE UPPER SHAFT AND BEARING THAT NEEDED TO BE REPACED ALSO, SO NOW THEY HAVE MY CAR FOR 4 DAYS. I CALL ON DAY 5 AND THEY TELL ME IT WONT BE READY AND THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN IT WAS SO I DO NOT HAVE MY TRUCK OVER THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND THEY ARE CLOSED MONDAY LABOR DAY. I CALL ON TUESDAY SEPT.8, 2015 AND AM TOLD THEY HAD TO ORDER AND WILL BE REPLACING THE RACK AND PINION SET UP IN THE STEERING . I DO NOT BELIVE THEY KNOW WHAT IS WRONG AND ARE GOING TO REPLACE ALL THE COMPONETS TILL THEY FIND THE SOURCE OF THE NOISE.
