Electrical system, Service brakes, Sep 2, 2025
For my truck a 2015 Ram 1500 there is a known issue where the ABS module fails and won't allow the driver to use ABS. It's ubiquitous and Chrysler isn't manufacturing or supplying the ABS module anymore. I was told by the Dealer that I should "just buy a new truck" if I want anti-lock breaks. I have children, this is unacceptable. I'm on a wait list for the part now for over 2 years and I'm told that I may or may not actually ever get the part indicating, again, that I should buy a new one for safe braking. Apparently I am one of 100's of people on a list and Ram just recalled 1.5 million trucks with the same issue but not my year range of truck.... Part no: 68228991ad

Steering, Aug 28, 2025
the electronic power steering went out while operating the pick up on a city street and I was unable to steer the vehicle which created a safety issue for the pedestrians and passengers. There were no warnings or messages indicating a problem prior to me losing steering capability. I pulled over but had to get the truck off the roadway so I drove without power steering to the repair shop. This ‘repair’ cost me $183. The repair shop said they checked for recalls with my VIN, but there wasn't anything so I paid for the repair and drove home. The very next day, the power steering went out while driving on a city street again. I took the pickup back to the dealership for further repair. In researching this issue, I noticed there was a previous recall on the 2015 and 2016 electronic power steering in the Ram trucks for this very reason. I was advised by the dealership that my VIN was not on the recall list. I also called the Ram recall center and they verified this to be true. I addition, I mailed multiple letters to the RAM complaint center but have never heard from them. I called the RAM complaint center and again was told my VIN wasn't on the recall. I expressed my concern regarding other VIN's that weren't on the recall but have experienced the safety concerns for the RAM drivers, passengers and any pedestrians or other drivers near the RAM with the issues.

On Friday, August 15, 2025, while leaving a grocery store, my wife pointed out that a part was hanging under my truck. After checking, I noticed that it was one of the two straps that supports the gas tank. It had dropped 3 inches from its original location and was only supported by one strap (the rear one). I temporarily attached the tank with a strap to secure it. At home, I checked the cause of this damage. I noticed that the area (the spacer on the frame, which has a "T"-shaped notch) where the tank strap is held (the end of the strap is "T"-shaped) is rotten, and the end of the strap has passed through. I didn't check the other attachment, but it could have the same problem because it's the same design. This part of the spacer is welded to the frame tightly and fills with dirt and water, causing corrosion.

I was driving and my truck lost all steering. I was in the middle of turning and I was unable to steer. I was almost rear ended and broad sided at the same time. Thank God the other drivers were paying attention. I spoke with my mechanic and he said that this was a common issue with my truck and this make and model. So I went online and looked and I have attached a screenshot of what I have found.

2015 Ram 1500 was driven into the garage and parked. 2 weeks later when restarted, the power steering would not work. Light in dash says Service Power Steering and also the check engine light is on. Have replaced battery, and checked all fuses, which were good. Due to the fact the truck cannot be steered, am unable to take it to a dealer for service.
Electrical system, Service brakes, Aug 5, 2025
The issue started with ABS, Brake, and Traction Control lights coming on intermittently. Leventually they stayed on all the time. Cruise Control is disabled while these lights are on and the ABS system is obviously not working. The dealership stated that it was the ABS control module and states that the part is discontinued and they advised that they didn't have any more parts in stock in addition to quoting around 3k if they could find one at any other locations. All fuses are working properly. And all codes that are pulled indicate ABS system faults.

Complete power steering failure happened twice on my truck. First time was at around 150000 miles and failed while I was driving. I was driving straight and suddenly the power steering completely failed. I replaced the steering rack with a used rack from a 2013 RAM 1500 and that one failed at 235153 miles.

I tried to locate the part on my own and there is in fact a nationwide backorder. After further investigation, I found multiple owners on Ram forums either having or have had the same problems. On one parts website, I found this message regarding the part: PART ON HOLD UNTIL ENGINEERING REVIEW IS COMPLETE, EXP - MAR 20TH, 2025.

ABS Control Module which is under engineering review thru stellantis and unavailable for the last 2+ years, it affects the abs, trailer brake control and cruise control. It was diagnosed by marlette chrysler jeep dodge in michigan. It started by randomly applying brakes on a curve at slow speeds then according to the dealer completely failed causing cruise control failure, trailer brake control failure and obviously abs function. It was a sudden onset that lead to complete failure from first symptoms to complete failure within 2 days. I realize there is a certain recall on rams for the abs but from reading online the majority of us dont qualify for that recall even tho our vehicles are being affected by it and this needs to be addressed.

Loss of power steering and simultaneous loss of speedometer readings. If one is down, so is the other. It happens mostly on start (intermittent), but has been known to happen while driving. First time was July 4, then it has happened at least 5 times since.
Steering, Jul 14, 2025
Ram 1500 has intermittent power steering loss that snaps the steering wheel back to straight. I almost crashed taking a right turn as the power steering attempted to turn the wheels straight mid-turn. I was able to park the vehicle safely but no lights illuminate on the dash aside from the split-second the system malfunctions. The car does not show a code or anything for the issue and proceeds to show normal dash indicators while stationary except when you attempt to turn the wheel. This is EXTREMELY dangerous as if you do not catch the 0.5 second indicator flash you wouldn't see there is an issue with the power steering system. I believe my truck was impacted by the same issue that affected other 2015 Ram 1500's electric power steering that resulted in a recall. However mine was not included in the recall.
