Incident Aug 1, 2024

The TIPM is bad. Truck goes dead whenever it wants. I’ll be driving down the highway and it quits and then you can’t get it to start back. Windshield wipers work sometimes other times they randomly come on.

Incident Feb 12, 2025

Tires are load range E but max load on tire is only 65psi. Truck requires 80 psi tires. Not sure how they can be load range E and only handle 65 psi. Can not tow anything because sidewall of tire is too flimsy to handle load at highway speeds. Tires also have bad vibration at highway speed even though I have tried balancing them multiple times. tire size is 35x12.5x18

Incident Dec 2, 2024

The grid heater relay failed, it turned on the heater then wouldn’t shut off. This melted the entire wire which could have caused a fire

Incident Oct 28, 2024

Negligent service. How could be possible to measure assembly threads without a torque wrench? I regret bringing the vehicle for the recall. Passed two weeks, and the RamCare and dealer did not contact to fix. It's dubious if all performed recall V06 was executed correctly at the dealer. Owners and dealer may think that the recall will not bring any risk for the owner. See attached pictures and the procedure.

Incident Sep 20, 2024

I had the cruise control set. I hit a large bump on the highway. The cruise control shut down along with the back up sensor. The ABS and Anti-Skid lights came up on the dash. Several messages came up on the dash to service the ABS, service the EBS, service the backup sensor. I am concerned that this is going to cause an accident due to the possibility of the brakes locking up and causing a slide that could result in a rollover. This is very concerning to me. Also, I get a credit on my insurance for having ABS on my vehicle. Please contact me or notify me with your intentions. I have been reading on the Ram 2500 forums and it sounds like this is a common failure. Thank you for your time, and interest in my concern.

Incident Sep 3, 2024

I was contacted to complete a recall on my truck, (67A), which I had performed by the local dealer. The recall notice also said "If you have already experienced this condition and previously paid for a repair, you may be eligible to receive a reimbursement." I spoke to an individual and followed the instructions to submit a claim. With no response, I tried to get a status; to confirm proper items were received electronically. I was told, they were received and the claim was denied? No reason or justification. I tried many times and was disconnected after asking to speak with a manager/supervisor.

Incident Jul 16, 2024

The ABS motor and module failed burning the wiring harness plug into the module This caused the engine once shut down to not be abled to start the electrics on the dash were flicking on and off 24 hours later engine started and a warning chime noise came from the dash turned engine off wouldn't start again every thing was dead Replaced ABS Module and electric motor as a unit and electric module plug ,reset problem solved About 30000ks later same problem again no warning same as before there was a problem This time dash lights "service ABS" flashing and chiming been told ABS module and motor needs replacing by mechanic

Incident Jan 31, 2024

I recently received a letter in the mail from FCA US LLC, about an emissions recall (Emissions Recall VB6 or 67A) on this 2014 ram. The recall covered many emissions components including the diesel exhaust fluid components. The recall letter also said that if I had replaced or repaired any of these components in the past, I may be eligible for a reimbursement. I had previously had to replace my Diesel Exhaust Fluid Pump back in 2021 and turned in the receipt for the work, but the claim has been denied. I just wanted to reach out to see if there was anything that done to help possibly get the reimbursement.

Incident Dec 20, 2021

Upon starting the trucks engine, putting the transmission in gear (either Reverse or Drive), at idle engine speed (approx 700-800 rpm) or very low (near idle speed) the trucks engine starts to surge from idle then drops down to 500 rpms with a voltage drop (5V) too. It will do this a couple of times and then the trucks engine dies (engine stops) while in gear and no codes are shown on the CEL or saved in the vehicle control module. When I put the transmission in Park, the trucks engine restarts without a problem. But when I go to Drive or Reverse gear it then will do it again. The truck sounds like the engine brake is being applied causing the engine to lug/bog down. The torque converter has been inspected and replaced. The fuel pump/lifter has been replaced. The batteries have been replaced. The fuel filters have been serviced; the crank case breather has been serviced. The emissions controls equipment (EGR valve) have been serviced/cleaned. Knowing that my trucks engine can cut out/die at anytime at low rpms, poses a safety hazard. Knowing that the truck can do this without a code being throw feels unsafe.

Incident Jun 30, 2024

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 2500. The contact stated that upon entering the vehicle, he observed that the center of the dashboard had melted and bubbled up. The contact stated that the instrument panel then failed to display the necessary information. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 138,000.

Incident Jun 7, 2024

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 2500. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the mechanic reset the check engine warning light. The contact proceeded to drive the vehicle to the residence. The contact stated that while driving, the gear shifter independently shifted from drive to neutral. The contact noticed a metallic clicking sound that came from the engine compartment. The contact stopped and parked the vehicle into a nearby parking lot. The contact turned the vehicle off and restarted the vehicle and was able to shift the gear shifter into drive. However, the contact continued to notice the clicking sound. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 129,000.

Incident Feb 24, 2024

Steering has been pulling hard to the right. This makes it harder to steer especially at highway speeds with a larger vehicle. Had two 4 wheel alignments and it was brought to my attention on my last alignment that the nuts on my adjuster sleeve had been cut off and therefore the reason of the bad alignment. They said that this will cause a continual alignment issue if not resolved. I contacted a Dodge dealership and they are willing to do an inspection, but out of my pocket. I really can't afford an inspection since I was told this issued has been under recall in the past. Also there are no stickers or labels indicating a recall was ever performed on the vehicle prior to me purchasing it.

Incident Feb 19, 2024

The Front Suspension Track Bar Frame Bracket R46/NHTSA 15V-541. There was a recall issued in 2016 that impacted around an estimated 150,000+ vehicles. I purchased my Truck in 2020, and according to records this problem was fixed in 2016. I recently noticed something seriously wrong with the front suspension while driving, and just about lost control of my vehicle on the highway. After taking it to a certified maintenance technician for Dodge Ram, they found that the Recall was not completed at all. This problem involves faulty welding and the weld can break loose at any given moment without being fixed properly with a stability bracket. Mine gave loose on the highway going 70mph. My concern is how many other vehicles were marked as fixed, but in actuality were not.

Incident Feb 8, 2024

After the vehicle sits at night and then started in the morning the engine has a ticking sound. ( cold start ticking) Then when I was on the hiway the vehicles motor locked up.

Incident Oct 1, 2023

Death wobble at 45 and 74 mph. Driving on freeway and vehicle begins to shake violently: Has been a problem with other year models in the past after researching. Very dangerous on busy freeways.

Incident Nov 8, 2023

Recently I have had warning lights turn on my dashboard in my truck. Also any time I press the brake petal anti lock brakes lock in. The warning lights are ABS light, and TCS light. As a result of these lights they have also thrown other codes. The check engine light came on shortly after, the service electronic throttle control warning, as well as the BRAKE warning light. I was instructed to check all fuses and replace all ABS sensors to correct the issues. I have replaced all sensors with brand new OEM sensors and it did not fix the problem. I took it to my local mechanic and they said the truck needs a new ABS control module, as well as a new Hydraulic Control Unit/HCU. They preceded calling the Ram dealership to order the parts only to find out that the ABS control module is on back order and I might be able to get one by February. They also said that they stopped making the HCU and don’t have any available because it was a faulty part and they haven’t come up with a new design yet. They said that they aren’t accepting any orders for HCUs until at least February (IF) they have the new design completed by then. But it will most likely be on back order. Upon researching the issues with my truck, I am not alone and there are hundreds of people with the same issue. I think Ram should issue a recall and fix this issue as it is a major safety concern. Many people have lost their brakes while driving from this issue. My mechanic informed me that I could still drive my truck but he wouldn’t because I could very well lose my brakes. I am also concerned that it may cause other issues if it is driven without fixing the issues. So now I am out of my work vehicle until I can get this fixed, but it’s virtually impossible to get it fixed because they are not making the part anymore. Thank you for taking the time to read my concerns. I hope Ram is held accountable for these faulty and dangerous malfunctions.

Incident Oct 2, 2023

The horn on the vehicle did not work when a small child was running out into the street in front of me. This horn condition was not known before the incident took place. The child was not warned and was nearly hit. I took the vehicle to the dealer and they would not fix even though there was a previous recall for the functionality Safety Recall R36 / NHTSA 15V-459.

Incident Oct 8, 2023

On the night of September 15, 2023, I was driving home from work around 8:00 pm. I hit a bump on the interstate and my truck started the "death wobble". Having driven a Dodge truck for a very long time, I was aware of what was going on. The vehicle starts to "wobble" uncontrollably until you come to a complete stop. I was doing 70 mph and in the left lane when this happened, it immediately pulled me to the ditch in the right lane on the side of the interstate. I researched the problem and found that it had an R46 recall and the bracket in said recall had been ripped from the frame and broken in half. I hauled the vehicle to Jeff Wilson Chrysler in Brookhaven and they sent pictures to whomever for the recall and it was denied for some reason. The Service Manager then sent it to someone else because he thought that it should have been fixed based off what he has seen. I then called 1-800-992-1997 to speak with someone about my issues and they proceeded to tell me that my recall had already been fixed. When I or Mr. Shane at Jeff Wilson types it in, it clearly states the R46 recall has not been fixed. There is nothing on this bar or bracket that has been done. This bracket breaking almost caused me to wreck and I cant get any help in getting it resolved. Mr. Shane at Jeff Wilson in Brookhaven has been nothing but fantastic in this matter and continues to try and help me get it resolved with no help coming from anyone above the dealership. The vehicle is undrivable and has been out of commission for 5 weeks now with no progress. Any help in this matter would be appreciated.

Incident Sep 15, 2023

I have a set of 285/60R20 Discoverer AT3 XLT tires that I purchased new for my ‘14 Ram 2500 in December of 2020. On June 7th of this year (2023) I had my tire “cave in” in the middle due to the belts in the tire separating. This defect on the tire caused an extreme wobble and made the vehicle unsafe to drive. The tires in question had 33k miles on them and my local dealer said they would not be warrantied and I was forced to pay $900 to replace both front tires. On August 19, the same defect occurred on one of the 2 remaining tires (tires have 37k miles on them). This defect in the belts/cords again cause the tire to “cave in” and have a death wobble while driving down the road. I own numerous vehicles and have been through several sets of tires on each of them and have never experienced 1) an extreme failure of the tire like this and 2) this high of a failure rate (currently at 50%). These tires are unsafe for the road and need to be recalled!

Incident Aug 19, 2023

Since purchasing in 2014 I have had my truck in and out of RAM Dealerships for steering issues and braking issues. Repeatedly told that it’s a RAM. A steering linkage recall was received and I took it in to have it done. Problem has been there continuously. The water pump issues continue Brakes are still an issue BUT I have been told at the Dealerships that they are hydraulic and they work differently.

Incident Jun 30, 2014

RAM has Turbocharger/actuator high failure rate. I have had 2 turbo failures in under 80,000 miles. When I lost the turbo I loose the exhaust brakes. This is very dangerous when towing and coming down a mountain road. This could lead to vehicle damage and loss of life. IN FACT: RAM on the 2015 model year only, issued a warranty extension for Turbo failures. This is serious safety concern due to NO exhaust brakes or no acceleration when needed to avoid a collision.

Incident Jun 29, 2023

There is a ticking noise from the 6.4L Hemi that is in this truck. I took it into the dealer and I was told that it was normal. Recently The ticking got so loud that it sounds like the lifters or a rod that will shoot through the engine compartment and injure or kill someone.

Incident May 7, 2023

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 2500. The contact stated that the transmission seized, and the gear shifter was stuck in park(P). No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 54,000.

Incident Apr 1, 2023

Ecm needs updated

Incident May 4, 2023

on the 6.7L cummins diesel engines, as part of the cold start system, there is a bolt in the intake plenum that can come loose and eventually break off getting sucked into the #6 cylinder. when this happens, there will be catastrophic failure of the engine. This boltis barely visible looking from the top driver side of engine, a sure sign of this problem is the preheater wire connected to the intake plenum will seem loose and you can wiggle it. This is not repairable from the exterior of plenum and must be torn down for repair or replacement. If this problem is not noticed, eventual total failure of the diesel engine will happen, not maybe, but will potentially destroy the engine. numerous reports in the repair field have identified this problem and it needs to be addressed ASAP .... respectfully request that RAM/Cummins be contacted and at a minimum, a TSB be initiated so RAM owners can have this area inspected before total failure occurs

Incident Dec 19, 2022

The heater in my pickup was not working correctly on the driver's side, so I took it into a shop to have the engine coolant flushed ($150). Within a few weeks, I had a check engine light appear and discovered the thermostat had failed ($350). I had this replaced. Still no heat. It was discovered that my heater core was plugged, could not be flushed, and the sediment from the coolant breaking down caused the failure in the thermostat, the heater core, and had plugged the EGR cooler ($3459 repair). Eide Chrysler informed me they had had a number of these issues occur this winter alone on Ram trucks from this vintage and mentioned Chrysler had changed coolant beginning with Ram model year 2013, and that said coolant was routinely failing between 60-100K miles. Chrysler stated they would not stand behind the repairs since the original warranty had expired. I am the original owner of this pickup, keep it in a heated garage, very seldom tow, and I follow the maintenance schedules. Chrysler's own maintenance schedule states the coolant should be flushed at the earlier of 10 years or 150,000 miles. This truck is 8 years old with 93,000 miles on it. This failure was caused by a systemic defect

Incident Jan 1, 2023

While cleaning and detailing the vehicle on 01/31/23, it was noticed that there is severe cracking in the plastic assembly that holds the seatbelt in place. A malfunction has not yet occurred, but this seems as if it could be a potential hazard once the plastic completely fails. This vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Seatbelt failures put the driver, front passenger and rear passengers, as well as other vehicles, at risk of injury or fatality in an accident. I have not contacted any dealers or independent service centers regarding this issue. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the potential failure. I am unsure of when the cracks first appeared, but have owned the vehicle since 2015.

Incident Jan 31, 2023

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 2500. The contact stated that the windows needed to be scraped from the inside. The driver was unable to see the roadway. The brake light became inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the brake light housing needed to be replaced. There was water entering the brake light housing. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted but no additional assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.

Incident Nov 28, 2022

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 2500 equipped with a Strattec bolt lock 5/8-inch pin lock. The contact stated while hauling a 2016 Outdoors Wind River RV, the lock detached from the pin causing damages to the trailer. The contact was able to park on the offramp but was unable to attach the trailer back to the vehicle. The contact stated that a bystander assisted in towing the RV to a local dealer where the pin and lock were replaced. The contact called the manufacturer of Strattec and made them aware of the failure. The failure mileage was not applicable.

Incident Sep 9, 2022

While towing a moderately loaded trailer, the cooling fan on the engine turned on. It appears the fan shroud got sucked into the fan causing pieces of the shroud to get thrown into the radiator, which in turn destroyed the radiator and leaked all the coolant onto the ground. A quick google search shows this seems to be an extremely common issue with these trucks. It seems that the design of the shroud is poor and should be remedied by the manufacturer. With such a sudden failure this left me stranded just over the top of a hill in the middle of the road with no safe place to pull over, creating a serious hazard.

Incident Sep 16, 2022

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 2500. The contact stated while her husband was driving approximately 40 MPH, the transmission shifted independently into neutral(N).

Incident Sep 7, 2022

No heat on drivers side.

Incident Dec 7, 2021

When putting the truck in Gear to go in reverse, the gear shifter on the steering column came loose from the column and fell out. This exposed the column and it was found that an aluminum bracket holding the gear shift had broken in half. Truck could not be put in park to shut off engine.

Incident Jan 18, 2022

Truck has around 67k miles. When preforming an oil change i checked the drag link knowing that some trucks are recalled. The outer jam but was loose. Called dealership and they said the recall was done. There are no indications that the recall was done. No marks or welds on the nuts as the recall states.

Incident Jan 8, 2022

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 2500. The contact stated that while driving at 20 MPH, he temporarily released the accelerator pedal and when he depressed it again the vehicle failed to respond. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that he veered to the side of the road. The contact stated that after he disconnected and reconnected the battery terminals, he was able to restart the vehicle and the accelerator pedal responded when depressed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the accelerator sensor needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the accelerator sensor was replaced; however, the failure reoccurred five times. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 230,000.

Incident Mar 15, 2021

A Recall on the Drag Link Bar was for a bolt coming loose. The recall was to weld the bolt, so Drag Link Bar could not be adjusted or bolt come loose. I am the original owner and in order to do an updated alignment, I now need to buy a new adjustable drag link bar, because the original one can not be adjusted due to the recall fix was to weld a nut, so it cold not back off. So a $80 alignment charge, is now going to cost me $1000 because I have to buy a new Drag Link Bar. I have contacted RAM, they said the will not do anything, they fulfilled the Recall. Why would the NHTSA allow a fix to be a welded nut on a steering arm that might need to be adjusted for alignment? So it would of been better for me to not do the recall and wait for it to fail and then get a new drag link bar. My Drag Link bar does not need to be replaced due to age of vehicle or wear and tear. The Drag Link bar needs to be replaced because the part can not be adjusted, like all other steering parts.

Incident Nov 5, 2021
