The contact owns a 2015 Ram 2500. The contact stated that the vehicle was initially repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V021000 (Steering) at a local dealer; however, after the recall repair was performed, the vehicle was unable to receive a front alignment. The contact requested that the welds be removed to perform the alignment; however, several dealers and independent mechanics refused to remove the welds. The dealer had spoken with the manufacturer, but neither had offered any assistance. The Mopar manufacturer was also notified of the failure, and the contact was given a case number. The vehicle remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 106,000. The VIN was not available.

Mopar has discontinued parts for many Ram vehicles with a 6.4L Hemi motor including the exhaust manifolds. My exhaust manifold is currently cracked and has an audible leak. Exhaust enters the cab of the vehicle when starting, idling, or reversing. They have no indication of providing a fix for this and the parts are not available aftermarket either. This broken piece not only affects the performance and safety but renders my truck unusable per DOT guidelines and would be red flagged during a roadside DOT check. In my area I know of three other trucks with the same issue. I have tried to reach out to the manufacturer with no response and all the dealers I have tried to reach do not have a solution. This problem can affect trucks as new as 2019 and old as 2011.

Transmission stopped working temporarily after towing a trailer up a long hill, engine simply revved when i tried to accelerate at the very top just prior to descending the other side, after stopping for 3-4 minutes the transmission began to work again. Truck is available for inspection and has not been inspected by anyone The truck is equipped with both engine and exhaust braking and had the failure occurred going downhill with a trailer in tow then it would have created a safety issue. No warning lights or messages appeared prior to or after the incident to indicate there was any issues.

While driving down highway 65 mph, abs system activated causing right rear brakes to activate causing vehicle to activate steering control making truck head towards on coming traffic before able to control vehicle to shoulder of roadway. Would like to know if, when, and who and where any previous recall work has been performed to this vehicle, bought at a dealership in Oklahoma with check engine light on, told it was gas cap. Turns out it was not a gas cap, there was programming involved to remove the MIL function of brake system. ECM was sent to a 3rd party vendor and unlocked, afterwards the previous program was unlocked showing disabling of MIL functions for several functions. Vehicle is having issues with electrical radiator fan causing excessive heat in compartment, what was the fix for this by MFG? Was it to just program out the electric fan from coming on at high speed ? Now engine within 20 minutes of idling overheats truck( road construction/wrecks)

MANUFACTURER VIOLATION OF FEDERAL TREAD ACT REIMBURSEMENT REQUIREMENTS Vehicle experienced ABS hydraulic control unit failure in September 2022 with warning lights and transmission shifting problems. Repairs cost $5651 addressing brake system hydraulic control unit defects. In November 2024, manufacturer issued Recall C7B/NHTSA 24E-100 for identical hydraulic control unit ABS defects affecting 2012-2018 Ram vehicles. Federal regulation 49 CFR 573.13 requires manufacturers reimburse pre-notification repairs reasonably necessary to correct recalled defects. Manufacturer FCA US LLC improperly denied reimbursement under case 92237530, claiming parts not covered under recall repair. This violates federal TREAD Act mandatory reimbursement requirements. Manufacturer referenced wrong recall campaigns in denial letters, demonstrating failure to properly evaluate claim under applicable federal regulations. Request NHTSA enforcement action to compel manufacturer compliance with federal reimbursement obligations. Manufacturer operates established reimbursement system but improperly applies federal requirements. Safety defect was present in 2022 and subsequently recalled, establishing federal obligation for pre-recall repair reimbursement. Wilson v FCA class action settlement demonstrates manufacturer previously paid identical hydraulic control unit replacement costs for same defect type.

ABS module not working

Both front brake lines ruptured. The left front ruptured while operating at highway speeds. The right ruptured immediately after replacing the left. Both ruptures where in the braided hose, on the same end within .75 and 2 inches from the connector.

Over the past 2 years we have had issues with the front end particularly the drag link coming loose and major steering problems and major bouncing which resulted in purchasing 2 new sets of tires within 2 years. It was brought to our attention that there was a recall for the exact same issue from NHTSA Recall# V06 19V-021. Unfortunately our VIN number was not listed on the recall although our truck was having the same issue that was listed in the recall. I have contacted NHTSA and filed a safety complaint (Complaint# 11570103). Over the 2 years, we have had the drag link repaired twice which has cost us approximately $4700 in repair costs and tire replacement which could have been covered had our truck was listed under the recall. I have requested NHTSA to investigate and list our truck under the recall and is requesting refunds to the repairs I have already paid for. This request has been declined and that is not acceptable. Please add my vehicle under the recall so I can request a reimbursement. I want somebody to call me directly at [XXX] today.

I was driving and had the truck on cruise control and suddenly the cruise control disengaged and I got a message on the cluster that said Service Electronic Braking System. Now I get the message every time i turn on the truck. I read on line that this is an issue going on and just wanted to pass it along.

The blower motor for my air conditioner and heater is not working properly. The service company told me this is an ongoing issue with this model truck and I should file a complaint due to the number of incidents They are having with this vehicle with this problem. The service technician stated the computer box was full of corrosion from not being sealed properly from the factory. The service technician also stated that if the corrosion continues and the issue is not corrected, it could affect the entire ECM of my truck and my truck will not start.

After parking right after a paid car wash, the truck wouldn’t start and had no power to any component. Couldn’t get vehicle out of park. Batteries fully charged and no issue with terminals. There would be random moments when power came back but when starter was pressed, a clicking sound would occur and all power shut down again. Truck had to be towed to dealership where they were unable to duplicate or determine what caused the problem. Our concern is not being able to move the vehicle out of danger when this occurs or the danger of it occurring while in motion, which we experienced years ago with a Jeep Grand Cherokee.

We have had several close calls of truck losing control. Vehicle currently in authorized dealership with the following diagnosis: Upon inspection, technician found the track bar to continuously back off, no known fix for this issue. Requesting our truck VIN [XXX] to be claimed under this recall. It is possible that other trucks that were manufactured from the same plant as ours could have been built with these defective parts.

This vehicle has a manufacturers #X99 extended warranty. It is for the Turbo Actuator. It extends to 15 years or 150,000 miles. I had a failure of my Turbo Actuator. The vehicle went into limp mode approx 2,000 miles from my home.The malfunction indicator lamp went on and I had to get the control solenoid fixed in order to continue to use the vehicle. We were told that this was related to the Turbo Actuator and to get it fixed when we got back home. I had to have more work done on it once home to finish the Turbo work done.I have approached Ram through mail and email to get reimbursed for the costs. I am continuously getting denied from the manufacturer. When I get emails from Stellantis the people only have one name and no direct contact number so I can speak with them. I have continuously asked to speak to a supervisor and no on will get back to me. I have submitted all my costs to have this fixed as well as the extended warranty X99. I have provided all the information they ask for per the extended warranty. I cannot speak to anyone about why they say my vehicles is not covered. According to the extended warranty X99 it is covered as my vehicle has approx. 93,000 miles at this time.

ABS speed sensor on. Replaced and it remains on. It causes my cruise control, traction control and most importantly 4WD to stop working. This happened right in the middle of a week where we had lots of snow and ice and freezing temperatures. I got lucky and discovered that the ABS light causes the four-wheel-drive to not work before I manage to take a bad road that I had been planning to take. Meanwhile because of work I haven't had time to fix it till recently so all this time I have not had four-wheel-drive very bad weather. A very stupid fail safe feature, disabling 4WD over a speed sensor.
