We were traveling on a highway doing 70mph and the whole truck started to shake really badly. My husband could not steer the vehicle safely, nor could he brake without losing control. He had to slow down until the shaking stopped. When we got back on the road, the vehicle did the same thing three times. This is known issue with Dodge, yet they don't have a fix for it. They call it the "death rattle"

The heater core in this model with the Cummins motor and of those around the same year plug constantly. I have to flush mine every couple of weeks in cold weather otherwise it will not keep moister off of the inside windows including the windshield as it just blows frigid air. A complete repair is $2,400+ and it will continue to plug even after the repair. It's common to need to frequently pull off of the highway and wipe down the inside glass to keep the windows clear.

ABS is not working and no part is available. Towing an RV without trailer brakes is dangerous. The ABS malfunctions at random and we never know when this will happen. ABS control deactivates traction control, as well as trailer breaks, and effects transmission functions as well.

this was a recall and all parts broke again . called dealer december 18 2023 and they have no idea what to do .

My service abs light comes on and off, which makes cruise control inoperable and rear park sensors inoperable. This also makes putting into 4x4 impossible unless I turn off the truck, switch to 4x4, and start it before the sensor kicks off. I’m worried about the abs mainly. I contacted my dealer and they said it’s a common issue but the part is almost $1k and backordordered for months. How is this not a recall or safety issue?

Turbocharger actuator failure. Recognized as known issue for vehicles manufactured one year later (2015). All replacement cost covered by manufacturer and warranty extended. The replacement part for the 2014 RAM 3500 turbocharger actuator is MOPAR part 68481772AA and the replacement part for the 2015 RAM 3500 turbocharger actuator is MOPAR part 68481772AA (identical part numbers). Similarly, the turbocharger installation kits for both model years are identical. Multiple online complaints noted about failures in 2014 model years. I incurred $3000 expense to replace. Two detailed letters sent to manufacturer with no response or acknowledgement of receipt.

I HAVE 27 OPEN RECALLS, the steering wheel knuckle just keeps getting looser, nothing on the column will tighten, my wipers short out , I was sold a Omission deleted truck with documentation the day of purchase it was omission deleted, I was never told this vehicle was unsafe, The manufacture wants me to pay hundreds of dollars out of pocket for them to see if it maybe safe enough . Both Chysler, and the certified dealership of ford refuse to take any accountability or action

There was the V06 Drag Link recall which was to weld the drag link solid with no adjustment. I had it inspected on 3 May 19 where they found the nuts not properly torqued. I told them not to weld on the truck as this would cause extra expense to me when having any future work done on the truck. Had contacted Ram Cares to get a replacement drag link installed now that a replacement part is available. That didn't happen as the appointment that I had through Ram Cares couldn't happen without DM notes. There is clucking in the steering again like before and I'm sure it has loosened up again. I confirmed with independent repair shops that they would either not touch it do to welding or charge me additional cost to remove the weld and wouldn't re-weld do to liability. If Ram was willing to supply lifetime alignments for the truck, then no problem. The welding goes against how it's supposed to be fixed. I could be subject to a DOT inspection and truck impounded if there is welding on steering components. I know it's a discretionary rule, But could cost me time, money and other expenses for something that there is the correct replacement part available to fix the manufacture error. Thank you for you time.
