The vehicle was moving down the road as I'm driving the truck just looses all power cuts off and I have to jerk it to side of the road to be towed to dealership. It's the tone wheel for crankshaft and crank shaft position sensor. And when taken to dealership they have no parts to fix my trucks and I was given a case worker with fca or Dodge and they can't get the parts it's been 3 months.
Due to a faulty brake lamp/cargo lamp, water leaked in and caused damaged to the headliner and made upper brake lamp/cargo lamp inoperable. $2400 to repair headliner and lamp. Vehicle was stationary when water entered into my truck causing damage
My vechicle recently did not start just got a dead click was able to get it started with a jump start brought it to the dealer to have it check they told me there no codes in the system to diagnose the problem asked me to leave the vechicle to see if the problem reaccured but it did not. 2 days later the same thing happened I was 50 miles from home I was able to get vehicle started to it to the dealer got the same diagnosis no codes and they can determine the cause so now I have a vechicle that I don't know if it will start when I get in it. I called Ram customer care at 18009921997 and was told the dealer followed there protocol and with out codes or replication of the issue it can not be fixed. I find that to be absurd that they are unable to diagnose a issue with there vechicle and I'm left to be the guinea pig. I have family and travel to work not knowing if I will be stranded wherever I am not a got or safe situation. I hope you can help with this issue
The truck was started and moved from one side of the driveway and moved to the other side of the driveway. The truck was turned off after being moved. About 20 minutes after the truck was turned off it was found on fire. The truck was completely engulfed at that point and had also caught the front of the garage on fire. The truck was a complete loss and the front of the garage had significant damage.

My vehicle lost power and was unable to drive while driving on interstate 94. I was with my 2 year old toddler and had to wait for a tow truck and my wife to pick us up. I had the vehicle towed back home to my local mechanic to look and diagnose the problem. The diagnosed the issue as a crank sensor tone ring. They also notified me there was a recall coming for this issue. I contacted fca and was directed to tow the vehicle to a certified dealer. I towed the vehicle over to the dealer and they determined the issue is the same as my local mechanic determined. I am also being told there is currently not a fix for this part, only a temporary fix. Fca said they will not pay for any of the towing and diagnostics. Since it was there faulty part that caused me to become stuck on the side of an interstate I am looking to be compensated for the repairs, diagnostics, and towing. This is a safety issue and I will be without a vehicle for "quite awhile" according to the dealer. The fca recall number is W58.
Water is leaking into the left headlight housing which causes the turn signal to malfunction, significant fogging and condensation in the headlight assembly unit which reduces visibility from the headlight and causes an error message. This issue is constant since it began and has not improved. This is very unsafe and is a defect in the design or manufacture of the vehicle.
The fuel pump went out then the dealer replaced it two months later the fuel sensor goes out and they replaced it total cost on my behalf was$340. Window motor also went out driver side and it was replaced. The vehicle is five years old with 37,000 miles why so many issues. Was there a recall for all this problems
The check engine light came on at 66700 miles. The fuel gauge dropped to empty. The warning box popped up and said fuel sensor failure. It was about 3/4 full when it happened. Also when the check engine light came on the economizer stopped working. Base on a internet search the number of people experiencing the exact same problem there should be a recall made on the vehicles! the fact that you lose your economizer causing increased fuel consumption and there by wasting gas should send a warning for this to be recalled immediately. Thank you for time.
Engine caught fire due to egr system overheating (maybe burning internally) melting then spontaneously catching foam rubber pad above the egr diffuser tube on fire. Resulted in melting wires, hose and other parts attached to engine. Was quickly put out with a fire extinguisher. Was driving to menards in normal Illinois and smelled smoke at first stop light, thought it was van next to me. At next stop light smelled the smoke again and pulled into menards parking lot. Saw lots of smoke coming out from under hood. Raised hood looking for where smoke was coming from. Saw a small flame, went to back of truck and took out fire extinguisher. Went to front of truck and flame had turned to flames, extinguished fire.
The left hand controls on the steering have quit working. The is no way to reset the oil change error after changing the oil. You can not use any of the left hand controls.
Truck completely shuts off while driving down the road without warning, has egr and service electronic throttle control, service exhaust, has other related electrical problems that shows up as codes, replaced the fuel pump and it still shows low fuel pressure and take several seconds to crank now and my fuel mileage is decreased.
Driving on I -29 and we smelled comething like antifreeze then smoke. Truck lost power then got it back and was going to try to make it to an exit but pulled over when smoke coming from under the hood. Opened the hood and saw fire! called 911 and fire dept came but in a matter on minutes the truck burned up completely.
Left side controls on steering wheel have quite working. Suspect clock spring issue. Not able to swap from screen to screen or control mobile phone without have to take eyes off the road.
After V08/V11 recall was performed I now experience loss of acceleration till warm up. Like a dead pedal. Also a loss of a confirmed 5-6mpg. It was stated in the recall we would not loose mileage. If we did it would be very minimal. 5mpg is not minimal. My truck will barely stay in 8th gear now. Just bouncing between 7th and 8th. Now everyone is worried about all the fires due to egr valves sticking open and causing the plastic intake manifolds to catch fire. My wife is very nervous to take it on trips or even park it in the garage. We had new smoke detectors added in garage incase truck does catch on fire. Please look into these issues. There are more than you think. Pedal issue, loss of fuel mileage, engine compartment fires. Thanks
The radio in the 2015 Ram trucks has a lot of issues. The navigation will randomly go out, there is jo way to fix the issue, the issue fixes its self in time and without warning will go out again. The radio will not turn on at times, so all controls that go through the radio are also out. To get power to come back on I have to turn the truck on amd off several times. The part number for my radio is 1C6rr7nm1fs[xxx]. my truck is a laramie ecodiesel model. There have been hundreds of people who have had issues with the radios. Ram knows of these issues but does nothing about it, treats it as tough luck. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
After recall V08 /V11 updates: Severly delayed trottle response when accelerating. From a stop to actual throttle responding to 3/4 pressure is at a minimum of 30-40 feet.
I have a check engine light prompted by a fuel sensor fail warning. At times when the tank is full the light goes out and the fuel gauge works. When the tank gets to about 3/4 the check engine light comes on and the gauge drops to empty. I have looked in several repair forums and have discovered that this is a widespread problem on several year models. Furthermore, it is an expensive repair costing anywhere from about $700 to $1,000 dollars. In these forums mechanics are advising not to replace the sensor with mopar parts as the issue will occur again. Obviously these are substandard or defective parts. There should be a recall on these sensors. To add further frustration, I cannot get an annual inspection sticker with the check engine light on.
