When vehicles comes to a stop or a slow roll. It makes a loud humming sound and cuts off in drive. The lights starts flickering ans The check engine flashes on at that time. Received a ecm code.I have to place in park and restart. Happens 70% of the time in drive and other times in reverse or park. Cruise control would not turn on. If on will not turn off with buttons
In 2020, Dodge repaired a recall by welding the steering linkage nut to the drag link. This recall (V06) prohibits me to have the vehicle aligned by a tire repair/replacement shop. Additionally, the ability to align the vehicle relies on the dealer to break the weld, replace the nut and re-weld the part. This repetitive process in turn causes metal fatigue to the drive link, presenting another MAJOR safety concern. If the drive link were to fail, I would lose steering control and crash without warning. I have contacted Dodge directly and requested they replace the drive link on my vehicle to remedy this problem, however, they have refused. The cost to replace the drive link and re-align the vehicle (required after part replacement) is approximately $1,100. Much less money than would be paid out for a catastrophic fatality(ies) resulting from the failure of this part.
For the longest (approximately two years now), my backup camera would "go out" sometimes when I engage reverse, or it would show squiggly lines to where I can't use it. This happens quite often - especially when I need it. The truck is available for inspection upon request and I also have videos of the issue. For a truck of the height, I'm not able to see objects, animals or people when backing up from a stop. I took it too a dealer near me and they inspected the system and found nothing wrong. But the same problem persist. There are no warning lamps or lights when this happens. Pictures are attached for reference.

driving down Interstate 75 going 70 mph my 2016 Dodge Ram 2500 stalled. I had to pull over and i sat on the side of the road for 30 minutes before my truck would start back up. I made it back to Ocala and it stalled again. I waited 30 minutes and it started back up. The next day i dropped my truck off at Phillips Dodge Ocala FL. Phillips diagnosed that my TPIM needs to be replaced. I started doing research on the TPIM and noticed 2007-2015 the Dodge Rams 1500, 2500, 3500, 4500, 5500 all had a recall. How is it my 2016 Dodge Ram 2500 is having the same exact issues as the previous models" Why is my 2016 not covered under this recall"
The tail gate keeps opening on its own. It opened while towing our boat. It opened while driving home with groceries. It keeps happening but my vin has not been included in the safety recall please explain why?
Lost use of steering wheel controls on left side of steering wheel. Horn does not work when pressing horn button. Have had airbag light flash at interment times. After research have found others have same problems on several tears of Ram trucks.
Severe diesel exhaust fumes/smell in cab of truck. Happens when heat is turned on and sometimes can smell from outside of vehicle while running. It is bad while driving but worse when stationary at stop sign or stop light.
There is a current recall 17V821000 power train:automatic transmission:lever and linkage:column shift. I just bought this truck and was cleaning it when my kids pulled on the shifter in the driveway and it came out of park with no key in the ignition. I took the truck to Dodge and they told me there was no recall and would not honor anything on line that I had found.
I have tried many times to get these numerous safety recall complied with and get no follow up from my local dealer! I took it in for a scheduled appointment and was told parts were on order. It's been far to long, I have checked in numerous times and get no help. Please find a place that can make my vehicle safe or make them buy it back from me! I don't want to die, or kill an innocent family!
Have 2016 Ram truck, jumps out of gear hits a fence. Take it to a dealer they admit there is a recall. They repair the recall and tell me to call fca customer support 1800-992-1997 I speak with quintin and he tells me since the dealer already replaced the part, they can not confirm that is why my truck rolled into a fence. And denied the body repairs. I ask for documentation that states why they are refusing to repair damage due to their defective product. They tell me that is confidential and that I need to go thru my insurance to make a claim. So I have to pay for their faulty equipment. Lesson learned don't purchase from Chrysler...
Not sure if this is the right place for this but figured it was a start. I have a 2016 Ram 2500 with the cummins diesel. Every so often the truck leaks fumes into the cab of the truck. I have read on many forums online it seems to be a common problem not only with the 1500 eco truck but with the bigger 2500,3500 trucks. Ram says there is no problems from what I have read but it seems to me that this is a serious safety issue!! one guy posted that Ram just told him to use the recirculate button to stop the smell. That's fine and dandy but when you do that you can not use the defrost witch is a problem in the right weather conditions because the windows will fog up. So you have to roll the windows down to get fresh air. I would appreciate any info you have on this issue or could point me to the right Agency that could help me force Ram to fix this problem. Agian big safety problem! if someone has no sense of smell like one of my best friends hthey could pass out while driving and kill himself if someone else. Thanks again
Takata recall- after traveling 2 hours to work in -6 degree weather I have to roll the window down for the security check. After 2 hours of driving with the truck well heated inside my driver side window popped and believe that the window track is moving without the window. Had to open the door since I could hand the guard my id through the window. I've researched online and have found numerous complaints about my model and year truck so I know that I am not alone. Apparently the design of the window clips and track assembly is different then the years prior. The clips are flimsy and sometimes break. I understand the window could freeze but after two hours of driving you would think that it would be safe to operate the window. All of my other windows are working fine after I had the issue with my driver side window.
Pulled out of a side road making a left onto main roadway (roadway was damp after a rain storm) traction control light flashed and throttle pedal became inoperative. I received a service electric throttle message on the dash. I was without any throttle control for about two minutes and in that time was almost rear ended twice.
I have two outstanding recalls on my truck. The diesel water pump recall and the brake transmission shift interlock both of these recalls were issued in 2017 and neither has a remedy.
Owned this truck for less than a year bought with 6000 miles. Vehicle down shifts into a low gear while approaching a stop. This presents a safety issue on snow covered roads and everyday driving conditions. The truck has been in the dealership twice for this problem and it has not been fixed.the dealership says they fixed it" exhaust has broken from the welds I noticed this at 20,000 miles. This has caused the exhaust system to leak underneath the cab. A strong coolant smell regularly in the front of the truck, dealership says no problems, if so why does it continue" cracking sound in the passenger side dash also has been in the dealership and not fixed.
