SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM, SUSPENSION
WHEN BELOW 20 DEGREES THE AIR SUSPENSION LOSES ITS ABILITY TO MAINTAIN PROPER RIDE HEIGHT. SOMETIMES THE TRUCK WILL SIT NOSE DOWN, REAR DOWN, OR ALL BUT ONE CORNER DOWN. USUALLY AFTER SITTING OUTSIDE IN THE COLDER TEMPS IS WHEN THE TRUCK STARTS TO DO THIS HOWEVER ONCE IT HAS DONE SO WHILE MOVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH. WHEN TRYING TO INFLATE THE AIR BAGS THE TRUCK TYPICALLY BLOWS THE 40A FUSE CONTROLLING THE AIR SUSPENSION WHICH RENDERS IT INOPERABLE UNTIL REPLACED. SEEMS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM IN ANY CLIMATE THAT SEES COLDER TEMPERATURES. BIGGEST ISSUE IS WHAT HAPPENS IF THE SYSTEM GIVES OUT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SORT OF SPEED.

SUSPENSION
THE AIR SUSPENSION FREEZES UP WHEN IT GETS BELOW ZERO. I DO A LOT OF ICE FISHING, THE REASON I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK, AND I'VE HAD TO DRIVE WITH VARIOUS CORNERS OF THE VEHICLE HAVING NO SUSPENSION. ONE TIME, IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 75MPH, THE WHOLE FRONT END DROPPED TO THE FRAME AND I ALMOST CRASHED BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON RIGHT AWAY. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK A YEAR AGO. TO DATE IT'S BEEN IN THE SHOP 5 TIMES AND THE COMPRESSOR FINALLY BURNT OUT.

SUSPENSION
THE VEHICLE DEFAULTS TO THE ENTRY/EXIT MODE IN THE AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM IN COLD WEATHER AND IS UNDRIVABLE. DODGE IS AWAY OF THE ISSUE AND TO FIX THE PROBLEM YOU HAVE TO PURCHASE A NEW AIR SUSPENSION CONTROL MODULE FOR $1100. IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT IS A FACTORY DEFECT WHY ISN'T THIS A RECALL?

SUSPENSION, SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM
WHILE WORKING UNDER THE TRUCK THE AIR SUSPENSION FAILED CAUSING THE TRUCK TO DROP. I HAVE ALSO BEEN DRIVING THE TRUCK AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON THE FRONT OR REAR DRIVERS AIR BAG DEFLATES ALMOST CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALER WHO STATED WITH THE COLD WEATHER THERE ARE MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THE 2013 AND 2014 RAM AIR SUSPENSION FAILING. HE ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS A NEWER COMPRESSOR INSTALLED IN NEWER TRUCKS ALONG WITH BETTER COMPONENTS THAT SOLVED THE ISSUE. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 72000 MILES ON THE TRUCK WITH A REPEATED AIR SUSPENSION FAILURE IN THE 45DAYS I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE.
