Representative owner complaints
1,767 reports, newest first.
Service brakes, Jun 8, 2021
Upon starting the vehicle, there was a blinking light in the instrument cluster which appeared to be a steering wheel icon followed by an exclamation point. When I put the vehicle into "drive" and pulled forward, the steering wheel was locked and would not turn side to side. I put the vehicle into park, turned it off, and then turned it back on. The blinking light was no longer activated, and the vehicle turned normally. I drove approximately 1/4 of a mile and was in traffic traveling straight when the blinking light came back on (same icon) and the steering locked up. I was traveling at a low speed and was able to turn the vehicle onto a side street where I was able to park it and call a tow truck. Upon some research in Ram truck forums online, it appears possible this is related to the "EPS" (Electronic Power Steering) module on the truck. Other Ram owners have experienced this same malfunction while driving, sometimes resulting in accidents. My experience appears similar to that of others who have described the intermittency of this issue. That very intermittency is what makes this such a dangerous issue that the manufacturer should be addressing proactively. I will not put my family back into this vehicle until the issue is ID'd and repaired by the manufacturer.

Parked the truck and went into the grocery store, came back out and started the truck. Then I noticed the steering wheel with an exclamation caution ️ light was on and had no power steering. Drove 5 minutes to my house and parked it. This could have been fatal if I was driving and the power steering had went out then. It's time to get this item recalled before someone looses their life!
Electrical system, Fuel/propulsion system, May 31, 2021
The inline fuel pump system is incorrect it has electrical inside the fuel tank there should be a screen at the neck of the fuel tank then there should be a screen at the bottom of the fuel tank by the outlet at the bottom of fuel tank then a hose to the fuel filter then there should be a fuel pump then the lines fuel lines to engine! Because the electrical is in the tank it will cause a fire! To fix the problem with the float to keep the electrical out of the fuel tank on the fuel gauge you should put the electrical lines at the top of the tank with a rheostat then have the float turn as it increases or decreases which turns the rheostat and sends the signal 2 the Gauge so all of the electrical is out of the tank this is the safest!
Electrical system, Fuel/propulsion system, May 31, 2021
The inline fuel system is incorrect and the electrical should not be in the tank! There should be filter at the neck then there should be a screen at the bottom of the tank where the outlet is then there should be a hose to the fuel filter and then from the fuel filter there should be an electrical pump the electrical pump should never be in the fuel tank and the electrical fuel pump is in the fuel tank which can cause I major fire! All vehicles have this problem and need to be fixed!

I have gotten 5 phone calls of people calling me and telling me they saw on the news that they saw on TV(the news channel) that there is a recall on my truck for faulty rear axles and a faulty rear drive shaft that has to be replaced. I"ve put in my vin number 6 times and get no answer of these parts to be replaced. I just bought a 2014 Dodge Ram, 1500, 4x4 truck from a dealer who screwed over me once before, but decided to try them again. I also caught the tail end of the recall on the news which said the same thing the others saw about my truck..So what is up?
Power train, Vehicle speed control, May 30, 2021
My vehicle suddenly and dramatically accelerates when descending steep hills, without any depression of the accelerator pedal. When this happens, the engine RPM abruptly increases from around 1500 RPM to 3000 RPM or more, with a corresponding increase in vehicle speed. This typically happens in first and second gear. After I slam on the brake to reduce speed, the engine speed temporarily returns to normal (1000-1500 RPM) then the vehicle accelerates on its own again. This does not happen when descending gentle hills. This has been happening since the vehicle was brand new and is still occurring now, 6 years later. The dealer attempted to fix the problem when the car was new, but without success.

The CHMSL 3rd brake light has failed in my 2013 RAM 1500. A Virginia State Inspection shop (AAA) indicated no power to the bulb. A RAM dealership's technician indicated it was the TIPM. A second dealership technician stated it is the Body Control Module. The cargo lamp lights do work fine. This was replicated using 2 sets of CHMSL lighting packages (no brake light, working cargo lights). The tail light brake lights work fine. There are no warning lights on the dash to indicate a problem.

The vehicle was being driven home from work, when the truck went into battery saver mode and the power steering stopped working. I was moving forward and the steering became almost impossible to control. I am 6'2 and in good shape, so I manhandled the steering to control the vehicle, and I got the vehicle to turn, barely missing 2 parked cars. If I wasnt strong enough to turn the wheels, there would have been damage to property and parked cars. The only light to come on was "battery saver mode" on the Driver info screen. Problem was a faulty battery, but in same hand, there should be a better system in the steering if the power fails in the vehicle. This problem happened in Canada, but there is much better response to dealing with issues from this organization in the USA.

While operating my 2014 ram 1500 with approximately 76000 miles the power steering went out unexpectedly and without warning. There were no dash lights or indications of any problems with the steering system. Power steering was lost immediately Making it very difficult to steer and negotiate turns. I feel if this would have happened in the process of negotiating a turn it most likely would have resulted in a crash. I have not had the issue inspected or serviced at this time and no crash occurred.

THIS OCCURRED ON APRIL 8, 2021 ON HWY 31A, APPROX 0600 HRS NEAR THE CITY OF PULASKI, TN 38478. NOTE:. THE ENGINE /LONG BLOCK WAS REPLACED BY THE SAME DEALER AT172000 AND UNDER MOPAR WARRANTY DUE TO INTERNAL ENGINE ISSUES INVOLVING #5 LIFTER AND DAMAGED CAM SHAFT.
Suspension, Apr 7, 2021
THE AIR SUSPENSION RANDOMLY STOPS WORKING. I PURCHASED TRUCK LESS THEN A YEAR AGO. I FIGURED IT WAS DUE TO THE COLD WEATHER WE GET IN COLORADO. HOWEVER I DROVE THE TRUCK TO FLORIDA. HALFWAY THERE THE SUSPENSION STOPS WORKING. MAKES A VERY BUMPY RIDE, AND VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AND PAINFUL. ALSO I MANAGED TO GET PULLED OVER IN DALLAS AND ACCUSED OF A DUI BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN A LANE. DUE TO THE SUSPENSION BEING MESSED UP. IS THERE A FIX FOR THIS
