Service brakes, May 25, 2023
ABS,BRAKE AND ANTI SKID INDICATOR LIGHTS ON DASH. Took to brake shop and determined that the ABS module is defective and the system is not working properly they determined that it is a manufacture issue and take to dealer for replacement. Contacted dealer and was told that the issue is widespread and they can not even order replacement part until AUGUST 2023 it is MAY right now. Brake shop reports that the system is not working and cautioned driving until repaired and is a SAFETY CONCERN. Seems to be a problem throughout these years of RAM and feel the manufacture should be proactive in making their vehicle safe to drive. They need to expedite the parts and probably should shoulder some of the costs for knowingly ignoring this issue in their trucks.
Fuel/propulsion system, May 23, 2023
At 69,500 miles my fuel pump sensor failed, i have found hundred upon thousands of people complaining that their fuel pump sensor assembly in their 2013-present 5.7l HEMI Ram 1500 series model failing prematurely due to a design issue that is known by RAM for a long time and has never been addressed. i want to a file a formal complaint as this is beyond ridiculous, if this was a known issue why not address it to future owners. instead of installing a flaw design in newer models. it puts people at risk due to now displaying NO fuel levels in the cluster; this unit also potentially could or may control the amount of fuel delivered to the engine and i have seen or read where people got stranded. just do a quick search for ram fuel sensor issue and you will find A LOT i mean A LOT OF complaints. another issue is that my cluster now has my check engine light ON, Thus rendering any other future issue mute as i cannot tell if anything else failed.

Engine, May 18, 2023
There has been no incident yet. This recall (22V-406) has not been addressed in about a year. I feel that the manufacturer is not accepting their responsibility. I have been not using this vehicle very much because of the potential of this shutting down the engine unexpectedly. I'm certainly not pulling my boat to go fishing. If this catastrophic failure occurs a RAM mechanic told me that it would be a total engine rebuild at around $10,000.00. Can the manufacturer be reminded that this recall needs to be fixed ASAP?

Received recall notice Z46/NHTSA 22V-406 July 2022. Had received no update as of May 1, 2023 and called local Ram Dealer (Turpin Motors Dubuque, Iowa). They indicated parts available & would order and call me for appointment. That was a month ago & still no recall appointment made.

I was driving on the highway and my vehicle lost power. I was able to make it home safely. I try to go around the block and as I was accelerating the truck keep loosing power. Finally at my house driving the truck was running and it just died. Since then I was unable to start it again. This happened June 2022, using a computer scanner I saw that it was a bad fuel pump. I called the dealership and they told me that my truck has a recall and that they are uneable to repair it and that I had to wait. I was then told to wait until January 2023 because that was the expected resolution time for the recall. So far it has been 11 months and my truck has not been repair. Back on January 2023 I opened a case with Ram and they told me to take the truck to the dealership. The dealership submitted an estimate repair cost to the recall department but they have not approved the money to make the repair. For the last 11 months I haven’t been able to use my truck.. mean while I keep paying my monthly payments and my insurance. That’s over $7000, plus having to get another car on the meantime until my truck gets repair. I feel I’m left out of options so I’m not sure what else to do.

Tires, Apr 6, 2023
I bought my truck August 17, 2016 brand new from Crown Dodge - Chrysler with 7 miles on the odometer. When I bought my truck it had Good Year tires on the truck. At about 35k to 40k miles I replaced those tires with Michelin Defender LTX M/S that I purchased from Delta World Tire shop located 1629 Popps Ferry Road, Biloxi, MS 39532. Initially Delta World Tire shop could not correctly balance the rear tires. After a couple of complaints and rebalancing the tires, both within a 4 week time period, the manager rode with me on a road test. At this point, he ordered 2 new tires, however that did not take care of the problem. Since then I have twice had the tires rotated and aligned and supposedly balanced by the same tire shop that I purchased them from. After about putting about 5 thousand miles on these tires the tires felt like they were scraping across the pavement when turning from a stop, like when I was taking a right or left at a corner at a stop sign. The scraping feeling is more noticeable when taking a right. I have repeatedly talked to the manager at the shop asking about a possible recall on these tires, their method of balancing the tires or possible remedies, all I have been told is that they will not replace the tires or refund me anything for these tires. The manager suggested that there must be a problem with struts or something, however they wouldnt commit to that. At this point I spoke with an auto mechanic and he knew exactly what I was speaking of and said that it is the tires. I purchased Michelin tires for a previous vehicle that was a GMC Envoy from the same tire shop and that SUV drove like it was on rails. This was even more reason why I went with Michelin Tires. At this point, I will never buy Michelin Tires for any vehicle or trailer again in my lifetime. I also go out of my way to tell clients and inspectors how bad these tires are. Are Michelin Tires now made in Mexico or "Made In China" like all the other items that are junk???

My truck was fine up until last week and the service steering assembly light came on , and was only on briefly , and then here on Monday, I'm driving on the highway and all of a sudden all my lights start flickering , and No Bus was triggered , I was able to get it back to town and brought it to my local dodge dealer , that has confirmed that the electric steering rack has malfunctioned due to a short on the internal module. So we're wondering if it's potentially a recall for this sort of thing doesn't happen from what they know and I'm told. And as a side note I put my location in Alaska HOWEVER! I'm actually located in alberta Canada and this was the only way ronget my form submitted and everything canadian brings me to nhtsa. Thank you.
