2015 Ram 1500 Complaint Log

MY RAM TRUCK SHIFTED FROM DRIVE TO PARK WHILE TRAVELING AT 40 MPH. WHEN THE TRUCK SHIFTED TO PARK IT SLID TO A STOP AFTER IT VEERED RIGHT AND WENT UP ON THE SIDE WALK MISSING A PEDESTRIAN AND PHONE POLL. CHRYSLER, MILE ONE, AND HALL CHRYSLER JEEP IN VIRGINIA BEACH ARE DOING NOTHING TO HELP ME OUT OF THIS TRUCK. THE TRUCK IS ONLY 19 DAYS OLD WITH 1000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT. THE TRUCK WAS MOST CERTAINLY MOVING AND I WAS LUCKY I HAD JUST LEFT THE INTERSTATE. I'VE ASKED TO HAVE THE TRUCK BOUGHT BACK SO I CAN BUY A DIFFERENT TRUCK FROM ANOTHER MANUFACTURER. THE TRUCK HAD A DAMAGED COMPUTER AND MELTED TRANSMISSION SENSOR SWITCH ONCE INSPECTED BY DODGE.

2015 RAM 1500 SPORT 4X2 - WHEN TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS ABOVE 65 MPH, THE REAR END BEGINS TO VIBRATE/SHAKE TO THE POINT CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE BECOMES A CONCERN. IF YOU SLOW DOWN IT GOES AWAY BUT THEN COMES RIGHT BACK WHEN GOING 65 OR OVER AGAIN. VIBRATION IS FELT IN THE SEAT BUT NOT THE STEERING WHEEL OR PEDALS. WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP ON 9/11 AND TIRES WERE RE-BALANCED. DEALERSHIP STATED THAT FIXED THE ISSUE WHEN IT DID NOT. GOING BACK TO DEALERSHIP ON 9/28 TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED BY MANY AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES CONTROL OF THEIR RAM VEHICLE AND CRASHES. IF I WERE TO HIT A BUMP IT WOULD BE VERY EASY TO LOSE CONTROL DUE TO THE HORRIBLE VIBRATION.

MY RADIO SCREEN WENT BLACK WHERE YOU COULD SEE NOTHING ON IT NO MATTER WHAT CONTROLLERS YOU TRIED TO SWITCH. THIS HAPPENED ALMOST ON EVERY TRIP. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT ON WAS TO PULL OVER AND LET THE VEHICLE STAND FOR A LITTLE BIT UNTIL IT COOLS DOWN, THEN IT WOULD TURN BACK ON. BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP WAS TOLD THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN RELATED TO THE RADIO SECURITY RECALL. GOT THE RADIO SOFTWARE UPDATED. THE PROBLEM DID NOT COMPLETELY DISAPPEAR. THE RADIO SCREEN LIGHT STARTED DIMMING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, AND THEN GETTING BRIGHTER. OFF AND ON, NO MATTER WHAT TIME OF DAY AND HOW DARK OR BRIGHT IT IS OUTSIDE. IT IS VERY DISTRACTING ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. I ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM AT THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY TOLD ME IT DOES THAT FOR SAFETY REASONS. WONDER WHY IT DIDN'T HAPPEN TO THE RENTAL TRUCK THAT THEY HAD ME DRIVE WHILE MY TRUCK WAS IN THE SHOP?? ANOTHER ISSUE I HAD WAS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON FOR A FULL DAY. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THAT THEY DID NOT GET ANY SIGNAL OR A MALFUNCTION CODE. AT THE END OF THE DAY IN TURNED OFF.

IT WAS EARLY IN THE MORNING (0430), I GOT CALLED INTO WORK, THE WINOWS IN THE TRUCK WERE FOGGED UP, SO I TURNEDON MY REAR WINDOW DE-FROSTER AND FRONT WINDOW DE-FROSTER. AS I TURNED THE CORNER OUT OF NEIGHBORHOOD (LESS THAN 1/2 MILE) I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND I THOUGHT I HIT SOMETHING. I STOPPED THE TRUCK AND GOT OUT TO INSPECT IT, AFTER SEEING THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE BODY I LOOKED UP AND SAW A LARGE HOLE IN MY DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WINDOW THE SIZE OF A GRAPEFRUIT. AS I WAS INSPECTING THE WINDOW I TOUCHED THE LOWER LEFT CORNER AND BURNDED MY FINGER. IT WAS LIKE TOUCHING A LIGHT BULB THAT IS ON. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE DE-FROSTER OFF AND CHECKED THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW AND IT WAS AT A NORMAL TEMPERATURE.

VIBRATIONS WHILE DRIVING ,NOTICEABLE IN PASSENGER SEAT, 50MPH TO 80MPH MAINLY ,SOMETIMES AT LOWER TORQUE UPHILL OR AROUND CONES 50MPH BELOW, NOTE ALL TIRES ,WHEEL BALANCED RE ROAD FORCED AND NEW REPLACEMENT TIRES , STILL VIBRATES, CURRENT ODO 6 000 MILES.

THE TRIM OF THE CENTER CONSOLE IS MADE OF A MATERIAL THAT REFLECTS LIGHT SO MUCH, THAT IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT IT IS REFLECTED INTO THE DRIVERS EYES. I HAVE HAD TO PUT A TOWEL OVER THE TRIM TO KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING. ON BRIGHT DAYS IT IS ACTUALLY BLINDING.

NEW TRUCK. LEFT DEALER AND DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 100 MILES. STOPPED AT A GAS STATION TO TOP IT OFF. PUMP SHUT OFF WHEN IT WAS FULL. SQUEEZED THE PUMP NOZZLE AGAIN, LIKE I HAVE ALWAYS DONE TO ROUND OUT THE DOLLAR AMOUNT, AND FUEL GURGLED OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND RAN DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE STATED THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THEM ALSO ON VARIOUS YEAR RAMS AND THEY JUST GOT USED TO NOT SQUEEZING THE NOZZLE A SECOND TIME. THIS TRUCK IS EQUIPPED WITH THE 32 GALLON GAS TANK. I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM ON MY 2012 RAM WITH THE 22 GALLON TANK.

THE TRUCK SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING,AND MUST BE MANUALLY GUIDED TO SAFETY SO THAT THE VEHICLE CAN BE RESTARTED. THIS OCCURRED THREE TIMES ON THIS DATE AND WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY. THE TRUCK DID SHUT OFF FOR THEM AS WELL DURING THEIR TESTING. THE TRUCK IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE NO EXPLANATION AS TO THE CAUSE OF THE TRUCK TURNING OFF WHILE DRIVING.

2015 DODGE RAM LARAMIE, 4X4 WITH ECO DIESEL MOTOR. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE TRUCK BEGINS TO VIBRATE, 65 MPH AND GREATER. THE VIBRATION APPEARS TO ORIGINATE IN THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE, AS SPEED INCREASES THE VIBRATION INCREASES. WHEN THE ROAD BECOMES ROUGH (I.E. POTHOLE ON I95) CONTROL BECOMES AN ISSUE DUE TO THE VIBRATION. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER, AND DEALER REPLACED TIRES. PROBLEM IS STILL PERSISTENT AND SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. TRUCK NOW HAS 1000 MILES ON IT AND IS BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN FOR DIAGNOSTIC, AND REPAIR. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THE TRUCK HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALER AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY UNSURE OF WHAT THE ISSUE MAY BE. I HAVE TAKEN VIDEO OF THE MY CHILD'S CAR SEAT IN THE BACK OF THE TRUCK SHAKING FROM THE VIBRATION AND PRESENTED IT TO THE DEALER TO HELP DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. FAMILY DOES NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AND IF THIS PROBLEM EXISTS IN OTHER LIKE MODELS VEHICLES IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER AS IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN FOR CONSUMERS AND OTHER MOTORISTS.

BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2015 DODGE RAM 1500, THE FIRST WEEK I HAD AN ISSUE WITH ONE OF THE WINDOWS NOT GOING BACK UP, ABOUT A MONTH LATER I WAS DRIVING AND THE NEW KNOB SHIFTER, WENT INTO NEUTRAL BY ITSELF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. MEANT TO TAKE IT IN, BUT HAD BEEN SO BUSY WITH WORK, THAT I WAS GOING TO WAIT UNTIL THE FIRST OIL CHANGE. I NOTED THOSE TWO ISSUES ON AN EMAIL REVIEW/SURVEY THAT DODGE HOUNDED ME TO FILL OUT. EXACTLY TWO MONTHS AFTER OWNING THE TRUCK ON JULY 28TH, THE SAME DAY I MADE MY SECOND PAYMENT, I WAS AT THE GARAGE AT WORK, LEFT THE TRUCK ON AND PUT IT IN PARK, GOT OUT OF THE CAR, CLOSED THE DOOR AND AS I WAS GETTING READY TO GO AROUND THE TRUCK TO GO INSIDE MY JOB, THE CAR STARTED TO BACK OUT BY ITSELF, I TRIED GETTING BACK INTO THE TRUCK TO STOP IT BUT UNFORTUNATELY, I FAILED, THE TRUCK ALMOST RAN ME OVER. THANKFULLY A CEMENT BEAM STOPPED THIS FROM HAPPENING.

VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY DISPLAYED AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD TURN ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES DURING SINGLE TRIP; OTHERS IT WOULD NOT TURN ON (OR OFF IF ILLUMINATED AT START). VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AUGUST 8, 2015. DEALER FOUND NO ISSUE. UPON PICKING VEHICLE UP AND STARTING, AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON. IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE TECH FOUND FRAYED WIRING IN THE PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG. AIR BAG ASSEMBLY AND WIRING TO BE REPLACED AT A LATER, BUT STILL UNDETERMINED, DATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AXLE AND OTHER RELATED COMPONENTS COMPLETELY DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO TRAVEL OUT OF THE LANE INDEPENDENTLY AND SIDE SWIPE ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AND CAME TO A STOP AS THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE COLLAPSED TO THE GROUND. THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE TIRES WERE POSITIONED INWARDLY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO BOTH KNEES, BUT MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT REQUIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED.

WHILE MERGING INTO THE LEFT LANE ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY, MY STEERING LOCKED UP AND JERKED MY TRUCK FURTHER LEFT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO CORRECT IT AND BARELY AVOIDED AN HEAD ON COLLISION. I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT IT'S THE EPA POWER CONTROL CIRCUIT BOARD OR THE ESP GEAR BOX. DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THERE'S NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED BY THIS DEFAULT IN THE POWER STEERING. THE TRUCK IS ONLY ONE YEAR OLD. HOW COULD SOMETHING THIS CRITICAL TO SAFETY SIMPLY GO OUT ALREADY. SOMEONE PLEASE PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO HELP US CONSUMERS, FOR THE SAKE OF ALL OUR SAFETY. ALSO I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH, MERGING LEFT, I WAS JERKED PROBABLY 10 TO 15 FT, ENOUGH THAT I WAS PUT INTO THE OTHER LANE. IT HAS CONTINUED TO DO THIS RANDOMLY CAUSING ME TO ALMOST CRASH SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE NOW PARKED THE TRUCK UNTIL FURTHER INVESTIGATION FROM MY MECHANIC OR DODGE DEALERSHIP. IT'LL HAVE TO BE TOWED FOR FEAR OF ME CRASHING.

I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK FOR SEVERAL MONTHS WITH NO ISSUES AND I HAVE NOT DRIVEN WHEN IT HAS BEEN DARK OUTSIDE. BUT ON THIS OCCASION IT WAS NIGHT AND I NOTICED THE HEADLIGHTS WERE EXTREMELY DIM AND SEEMED TO BE ADJUSTED TO LOW SO STOPPED FOUND THE LEVEL ADJUSTMENT FOR THE HEAD LIGHTS AND MADE AN ADJUSTMENT WHICH RAISED THEM BUT MADE LITTLE OR NO DIFFERENCE. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND IT IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUES AND IS ONE OF THE FIRST UPGRADES DONE... AMAZINGLY LIKE MYSELF ON NEW TRUCKS... I THEN WENT AND PURCHASED A COMPLETE SET OF SYLVANIA SILVER STAR ULTRA LOW AND HIGH BEAM AND FOG LIGHT REPLACEMENTS. THAT COMPLETELY CURED THE ISSUE. NOW I HAVE LIGHTS THAT WORK AND ARE SAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT I HAVE ALSO MADE RAM AWARE THROUGH AN EMAIL. I REALIZE PROFIT MARGINS ARE DRIVING FORCE TODAY BUT THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED

ONLY HAD THE NEW 2015 RAM 1500 LARAMIE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS WHEN THE FIRST OCCURANCE OF 3 SO FAR HAPPENED. WHEN TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AND I BACK OFF THE GAS TO CRUISING SPEED THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES EXTREMELY HARD AND THROUGHOUT THE DRIVE TRAIN VIOLANTENTLY FEELING LIKE I'M LOSING CONTROL. EXTREMELY SCARY AND THE TRUCK ONLY HAD ABOUT 400 MILES ON IT WHEN I PURCHASED IT ABOUT A MONTH AGO. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR AUTONATION TO LOOK AT IT AUGUST 4TH. IT WAS PURCHASED FROMTOWN & COUNTRY IN WENACHEE WA. THE ISSUES WAS REPORTED TO TOWN & COUNTRY WHEN I WENT IN TO HAVE THE BED LINER SPRAYED.

PURCHASED VEHICLE BRAND NEW. STEERING OF VEHICLE HAS BEEN OFF AND DRIFTS TO THE LEFT. TOOK TO DEALER TWO TIMES THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. HAVE A CURRENT APPOINTMENT ON 10/16/15 THIS WILL BE THIRD VISIT. UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION ESPECIALLY WHEN TOWING WITH THE TRUCK.

I HAD STANDARD HEADLIGHT, 9012 HALOGEN, AND LIVING OUT IN THE COUNTRY THE LIGHTING IS VERY POOR, I HAVE TOO USE MY FOG LIGHTS TO SEE APPROPRIATELY, I TRIED TO CHANGE IT TO SILVERSTAR ULTRA HIGH PERFORMANCE HALOGEN HEADLIGHT, AND STILL NO IMPROVEMENT, ALSO CAUSES THE AUTO HEADLIGHT NO TO FUNCTION ANYMORE. THIS TRUCK COST OVER 50K, AND THE LIGHTING IS VERY POOR.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

PURCHASED BRAND NEW DODGE 1500. HEADLIGHTS FLICKER WHEN ON (GO ON AND OFF) DEALERSHIP STATED IT HAS SEEN THE SAME ISSUE ON DIFFERENT DODGE RAM TRUCKS SAME AND DIFFERENT YEARS. ALSO TIRES HAVE BEEN WEARING EXTREME. WARRANTIED ONCE BUT ISSUE CONTINUES TO OCCUR. WARRANTIED 2ND TIME 3 OF 4 TIRES NOW TRUCK PULLS DRASTICALLY LEFT INTO OTHER LANEA OF TRAFFIC. HAVE CONTACTED DODGE/CHRYSLER NUMEROUS TIMES WITH NO RESOLVE. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND DOCUMENTATION ON FILE WITH CHRYSLER AND DODGE DEALERSHIP. HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ENCOUNTERS BOTH IN PERSON AND ON PHONE.

IT ALL STARTED AROUND 850 MILES WITH THIS VEHICLE. I GOT INTO IT AND PUT IT INTO DRIVE AND THE CAR ACCELERATED WITHOUT MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL. I TOOK IT TO SHUMAN CHRYSLER IN WALLED LAKE AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. A MONTH LATER THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. I GOT INTO THE VEHICLE AT WORK AND PUT IT INTO DRIVE AND THE TRUCH ACCELERATED WITHOUT FOOT ON PEDAL. TOOK DIRECTLY TO SHUMAN CHRYSLER IN WALLED LAKE MICHIGAN AND THEY TOLD ME AFTER FIXING IT THAT THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE SAID SOMETHING ELSE SOMETHING LIKE THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WAS BAD..

MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE BRAKES WERE AUTOMATICALLY DEPLOYED A FEW TIMES WITHOUT TOUCHING THEM. THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES AND THE THIRD TIME WAS TWO DAYS AGO AND WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO CHRYSLER JEEP RAM IN ALHAMBRA, CA TO BE EXAMINED. THEY TEST DROVE IT AND EXAMINED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE AN AUTOMATIC BREAKING MECHANISM AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. EACH TIME OF THE BREAKING, THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ON AND WE DO NOT BELIEVE WE EVEN HAD THE FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. WE FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS LIFE SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. WE PURCHASED THIS ONE THINKING IT WAS A SAFE TRUCK, YET NOW WE ARE VERY CONCERNED. I HOPE SOMEONE WILL LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. IF THIS HAPPENED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, I AM SURE WE WOULD BE REAR ENDED.

WHILE CHECKING FOR THE REAR AIR SUSPENSION AIR BAGS, WHICH IT DOES NOT HAVE, ON BRAND NEW 2015 RAM 1500 LONE STAR CREW CAB WITH ONLY 85 MILES - WE CAME ACROSS EXTENSIVE CORROSION ON THE DRIVE SHAFT, PARTS OF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL, ON THE REAR SUSPENSION BRACKET, IN THE STEERING COLUMN, AND PARTS BEHIND THE ENGINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH OVER A DIP IN THE ROAD, THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SWAY TO THE RIGHT.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,300.

2015 DODGE RAM 1500. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK SAFETY RECALL. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED 3 TIMES, BUT STILL FAILED. *JS

VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING IT. NEEDS NEW TIPM ACCORDING TO SERVICE CENTER. THEY WON'T REPLACE IT UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY SAY WE MODIFIED IT BY WRAPPING A PIECE OF HEAVY DUTY WIRE AROUND THE BOLT FOR POWER IN THE TIPM. SERVICE PEOPLE STATED TWICE THAT IF WE REMOVED THE WIRE, IT WOULD PUT THE TRUCK BACK TO FACTORY CONDITION AND IT WOULD BE FIXED UNDER THE WARRANTY. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE SERVICE CENTER TWICE AND THEY STILL REFUSE TO FIX THE TRUCK UNDER WARRANTY. THE WIRE IS A TEMPORARY SOLUTION TO KEEP THE TRUCK RUNNING AND HAS COME LOOSE ON OCCASION WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT WE DON'T FEEL WE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR.

TRUCK HAS BEEN IN SHOP FROM 5/20/2015 THROUGH 6/19/2014; 3/20/2015 THROUGH 3/20/2015; 7/10/2015 THROUGH 7/17/2015; AND CURRENTLY IN SHOP 10/13/2015 THROUGH CURRENT DATE AND TIME. ENGINE HAS BEEN REPLACED AND IT IS LEAKING OIL FROM AN UNKNOWN LOCATION. SERVICE HAS STATED TO HAVE CHECKED EVERY POSSIBILITY SOURCE LOCATION FOR THE, ON AVERAGE 1.5 TO 2 QUARTS OIL, LOW RESULTING IN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND STILL AFTER ENGINE REPLACEMENT.

SHAKING AND VIBRATION THROUGHOUT TRUCK BETWEEN 47 AND 70 MPH. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN SHOPS A TOTAL OF NINE TIMES SINCE PURCHASE IN 2015. TIRES 'RE P LACED TWICE WITH NO POSITIVE OUTCOME. DEALERSHIP STATES PROBLEM WITH GOODYEAR WRANGLED SR-A TIRES. NEW TIRES INSTALLED AND SAME PROBLEM EXIST. MECHANICAL PROBLEM SUSPECTED WITH VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH DEALERSHIP STATES THERE IS NONE. I HAVE PAID OUTSIDE SHOPS TO CHECK TIRES AND NO ISSUES REPORTED. TWO OTHER OWNERS HAVE STATED THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER BRAND TIRES. DEALERSHIP DOES NOT WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE A MECHANICAL ISSUE. SAFETY AND WARRANTY COMPLIANCE NEEDED ON THESE MODEL TRUCKS. PLEASE HAVE RAM CORPORATION PERFORM INTERNAL QUALITY CHECK ON ALL VEHICLES AND REMEDY COMPLAINT.

THE INNER FENDER MADE OUT OF METAL WITH A HARD PLASTIC SHROUD ON PREVIOUS YEARS, HAS BEEN ELIMINATED. IN ITS PLACE THERE IS NOW A FLIMSY THIN PLASTIC SHROUD THAT CAN BE BENT AND DEFORMED BY HAND AND REMOVED BY HAND WITH A COUPLE OF HEALTHY TUGS. THIS MEMBRANE IS THE ONLY PROTECTION PROVIDED FOR ABS COMPONENTS, A/C AND POWER STEERING HOSES, AND NUMEROUS OTHER COMPONENTS FOUND UNDER THE HOOD. WHEN DRIVING ESPECIALLY DRIVING OFF ROAD, THERE ARE NUMEROUS HAZARDS AND ITEMS THAT CAN BE PICKED UP BY THE TIRES AND FLUNG INSIDE THE WHEEL WELL. ON PREVIOUS YEAR MODELS THERE HAS BEEN A FORMED METAL INNER FENDER THAT WAS STOUT ENOUGH TO RESIST NUMEROUS ITEMS THAT MAY BE TOSSED INTO THE WHEEL WELL OR INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS ALSO A THICK PLASTIC SHROUD THAT COVERED THE METAL OF THE INNER FENDER, PERHAPS AS AN ADDITIONAL PROTECTION AGAINST RUST. NONE OF THAT EXISTS IN THE CURRENT 2015 RAM 1500 MODEL. THIS IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SINCE A LIGHT ITEM, STICK, OR ROCK CAN BE THROWN INTO THE WHEEL WELL AND WILL PUNCH EASILY THRU THE THIN PLASTIC MEMBRANE. ADDITIONALLY A HEAVIER OR LONGER ITEM CAN BE THROWN INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT OR STEERING COMPONENTS CAUSING SOMETHING TO JAM AND LIMITING THE ABILITY TO STEER SAFELY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS, THE POTENTIAL FOR COSTLY REPAIRS OR CATASTROPHE IS REAL. *TR

MY VEHICLE HAS HAD A VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BETWEEN 65-75 MPH SINCE I PURCHASED IT. THE VIBRATION IS ANNOYING AND AT TIMES I'VE HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO REDUCE THE VIBRATION WHICH I FEEL COULD BECOME UNSAFE. THE VEHICLE RIDES SMOOTHER THAN ANY OTHER PICKUP I'VE EVER OWNED AT LOWER SPEEDS, MY EXPECTATIONS ARE FOR IT TO RIDE THE SAME WAY AT ANY SPEED. THE VIBRATION SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK AND CAN BE FELT IN THE SEAT AND FLOORBOARD. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO WORSEN WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAYS WITH WIDE SWEEPING TURNS. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE SELLING DEALERSHIP TWICE, THE FIRST TIME THEY REPORTED 2 OF THE TIRES WERE BAD AND WERE REPLACED. I TOOK IT BACK A SECOND TIME FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT DETECT A VIBRATION OR FIND ANYTHING WHICH COULD BE CAUSING ONE. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED SO I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP. THEY BALANCED THE TIRES, ROTATED THEM AND CLAIMED THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN RESOLVED. THE PROBLEM HAD NOT BEEN RESOLVED AND IF ANYTHING HAS GOTTEN WORSE AFTER THE THIRD ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. I HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE REPORTED BY OTHERS. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE AT SERVICING DEALERSHIPS 3 TIMES AND 2 SEPARATE INDEPENDENT NATIONAL TIRE CHAINS AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,200. UPDATED 10/01/15*LJ THE CONSUMER ALSO EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING. UPDATED 12/24/15. *JB

FROM DAY ONE I HAVE HAD A SEVERE VIBRATION FROM THE REAR OF MY TRUCK AT SPEED ABOVE 60 MPH IT WILL VIBRATE THE FLOOR BOARD AND FRONT SEAT AND CENTER CONSOLE SEVERELY. AFTER MANY DISCUSSIONS WITH RAM AND THE DEALER HAVE AGREED TO REPLACE MY GOOD YEAR SRA 275-60-20 WITH A NEW SET OF TIRES SAME TYPE. TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM THEY DID SO ON 8-28-2015 9950 MILES IT HAS MADE NO DIFFERENCE. I BROUGHT THIS TSB I FOUND HERE ON NHTSA ID NUMBER 10056977 SERVICE BULLETIN NO. 16-001-14 TO THIER ATTENTION THEY SAY THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THAT TSB I AM VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE AFTER SOME RESEARCH ON MY OWN IT SEEMS THERE ARE A GROWING NUMBER OF 2015 1500'S WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. IT IT NEEDS TO BE MOVED TO A RECALL BECAUSE IT COULD BE A HAZARD WAITING TO HAPPEN AND IT COULD BE CAUSING OTHER DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK. I AM GOING BY THE DEALER TODAY 8-31-2015 TO SEE WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO NOW, VEHICLES TODAY ARE TO EXPENSIVE TO HAVE THESE TYPE OF ISSUES MINE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 10000 MILES AND NO FIX IN SIGHT THIS IS MY 5TH ATTEMPT TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED.

THIS TRUCK HAS AN EXHAUST SMELL IN THE CABIN THAT MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN NOTICING GETS MORE PREVALENT AS THE VEHICLE GETS MORE MILES. I DROVE THE TRUCK ABOUT 8 HRS THURSDAY NIGHT MARCH 27TH AND INTO THE MORNING OF FRIDAY MARCH 28TH . BY THE TIME I GOT TO MY DESTINATION I HAD AN EXTREME HEADACHE, NAUSEA, BURNING EYES NOSE AND THROAT. IT WAS 0230 AM, I TRIED TO REST AND SLEEP BUT WAS TOO ILL. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 9~10 HRS I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL TO GET CHECKED, AND DOCUMENT WHAT I BELIEVE TO HAVE BEEN EXPOSURE TO EXHAUST FUMES. THE DR PUT ME ON OXYGEN AND GAVE ME ANTI NAUSEA MEDICINE. THEY DREW A BLOOD GAS AND TOLD ME THAT I HAD ONLY SLIGHT SIGNS OF EXPOSURE UNFORTUNATELY DUE TO THE TIME THAT I HAD WAITED TO COME IN TO GET CHECKED. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT THIS INCIDENT IS REPORTED AS IT SEEMS TO CREEP UP AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT ! *TR

THE LOW BEAM PROJECTOR HEAD LIGHTS DO NOT PUT OUT ENOUGH LIGHT TO DRIVE SAFELY AT NIGHT. EVEN ON A CLEAR NIGHT I HAVE TO PUT MY FOG LIGHTS ON TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, IF THE ROAD IS WET WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC I JUST POINT THE TRUCK AND HOPE FOR THE BEST. I WILL NOT DRIVE AT NIGHT ANY MORE IF I CAN HELP IT. I HAVE FOUND AN AFTER MARKET REPLACEMENT BULB THAT MAY HELP.

THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH POOR HEADLIGHTS IN MY RAM. WE WERE ON OUR WAY BACK TO NEW YORK FROM FLORIDA AND WENT FROM LEWIS DELAWARE TO CAPE MAY ON THE FERRY. WHEN WE GOT OFF THE FERRY IT WAS AFTER 9:00 PM AND WAS VERY DARK. WE PROCEEDED TO HEAD FOR THE BEACH AREA OF CAPE MAY AND MY WIFE TOLD ME TO TURN THE HEADLIGHTS ON TO WHICH I RESPONDED THEY ARE ON. I AM 66 YEARS OLD AND HAVE HAD 6 TRUCKS STARTING IN 1998 AND MANY SUV'S. I HAVE NEVER HAD HEADLIGHTS THAT WERE ANYTHING LIKE THESE. ON THE WAY DOWN I DROVE FOR A SHORT TIME IN THE DARK LOOKING FOR A MOTEL. FROM THE MOTEL THE NEXT MORNING I CONTACTED RAM WHO GAVE ME A DEALER TO CHECK OUT THE LIGHTS. I STOPPED AND HE AGREED WITH ME THAT THEY WERE NOT VERY BRIGHT AND THAT'S THAT. WHEN I RETURNED HOME I BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE WORKING AS DESIGNED, WHICH BY NOW I KNOW IT WAS A BAD DESIGN. I CONTACTED RAM AGAIN AND HERE IS THERE RESPONSE WAS WE APPRECIATE THE TIME AND EFFORT YOU TOOK TO TELL US OF YOUR DISSATISFACTION IN OUR PRODUCT. COMMENTS LIKE YOURS ARE ONE WAY TO LEARN OF PROBLEMS THAT DEVELOP AND THE IMPROVEMENTS DESIRED. WE HAVE DOCUMENTED YOUR COMMENTS AND WILL PROVIDE THEM TO THE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT TEAM FOR REVIEW. THE TRUCK IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD TO DRIVE AT NIGHT AND THE RAM MESSAGE BOARDS HAVE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE HEADLIGHTS.I NEED BRIGHTER, SAFER HEADLIGHTS NOW AND NOT WHEN THERE DEVELOPMENT TEAM FIGURE IT OUT. YOU WOULD THINK FOR A TRUCK THAT COSTS $50000 COULD BE DRIVEN SAFELY AT NIGHT. *TR

I HAD DECIDED TO CHANGE MY OIL MYSELF FOR THE TRUCK'S SECOND OIL CHANGE BECAUSE I WANTED TO USE AMS OIL. I BOUGHT THE FILTER FROM A LOCAL PARTS STORE BECAUSE AMS DID NOT OFFER ONE. I BEGAN TO DRAIN THE OIL AND THEN REMOVED THE OLD FILTER. AFTER IT DRAINED FOR 20 MINUTES I INSTALLED THE NEW FILTER AND OILED THE NEW O-RING AND INSTALLED IT ON THE FACTORY CAP AND TORQUED IT TO 20 FOOT POUNDS. I POURED THE 6 QUARTS OF NEW OIL IN THE ENGINE, WARMED IT UP AND SHUT IT DOWN. I THEN CHECKED THE FILTER FOR LEAKS AND CHECKED MY OIL LEVEL. EVERYBODY SHOULD BE ABLE TO CHANGE THEIR OWN OIL RIGHT? WELL I GUESS THAT'S NOT TRUE WITH THIS TRUCK ACCORDING TO THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER. IT WAS ABOUT 3000 MILES LATER WHEN I WAS AT WORK AND NOTICED A PUDDLE OF OIL UNDER THE TRUCK. I LOOKED UNDERNEATH AND THE BOTTOM OF THE TRANSMISSION AND OTHER PARTS WERE COATED WITH OIL. I CHECKED THE LEVEL AND NOTHING REGISTERED ON THE DIP STICK SO I HAD MY NEW TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALER. THEY TOLD ME THAT I DIDN'T USE OEM PARTS AND I'M NOT QUALIFIED TO CHANGE MY OWN OIL AND THAT IS WHY OIL WAS GUSHING ALL OVER THE TOP OF MY ENGINE! NOTICE THAT DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH AN ENGINE COATED WITH OIL IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. THE DEALER CHARGED ME FOR A NEW OIL CHANGE, WIPED THE OIL OFF WHERE THEY COULD AND REFUSED TO HAVE THE ENGINE STEAM CLEANED. THEY SENT ME ON THE STREET WITH OIL ON MY ENGINE! I TRIED TO HAVE IT CLEANED BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYBODY THAT COULD DO IT THAT DAY. I HAD TO DRIVE IT THE NEXT DAY AND IT DIDN'T CATCH FIRE SO I LET IT GO.
