FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE A RECURRING ISSUE WITH RODENTS CHEWING THROUGH THE FUEL LINE ON MY 2014 RAM 1500. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SINCE DECEMBER, 2016 AND IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF. THE FUEL LINE, ACCORDING TO MULTIPLE TECHS AND REPRESENTATIVES WHO HAVE WORKED ON MY TRUCK, HAS CONNECTIONS MADE OF A "SOY-BASED" PRODUCT WHICH IS ATTRACTIVE TO RODENTS. WHEN THE LINES GET CHEWED THROUGH, THE FUEL BEGINS TO LEAK VERY QUICKLY WHILE I HAVE BEEN IN MOTION ON PUBLIC STREETS. ONE OF THE THREE TIMES, MY REAR TIRES ACTUALLY LOST TRACTION COMPLETELY CAUSING ME TO BRIEFLY LOSE CONTROL OF MY TRUCK. THE AMOUNT OF FUEL THAT LEAKS IS SIGNIFICANT, USUALLY EMPTYING MY TANK FROM NEARLY FULL TO EMPTY IN SECONDS. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPOND BEFORE THE TRUCK COULD BE TOWED DUE TO THE SIGNIFICANT FIRE HAZARD THIS POSSES. IF THERE WERE TO BE AN IGNITION SOURCE OF ANY KIND, THE TRUCK WOULD CATCH FIRE AND POSSIBLY CAUSE SIGNIFICANT HARM TO MYSELF OR OTHERS. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO CHRYSLER/RAM'S ATTENTION AND THEY HAVE MADE NO EFFORT TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED, ALTHOUGH THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE DANGER INVOLVED WITH THIS PROBLEM. THE REPS I HAVE DEALT WITH EXPLAINED THAT THIS FUEL LINE IS MADE WITH SOY TO MAKE THE PART "ECO-FRIENDLY". THE REPAIR IS COSTLY AND, ACCORDING TO THE REPAIRING DEALERSHIP, CAN ONLY BE MADE USING THE SAME FLAWED "SOY-BASED" FUEL LINES. I HAVE ATTACHED PICTURES SHOWING THE CHEWED CONNECTIONS AS WELL AS INVOICES FOR THE THREE REPAIRS I HAVE HAD MADE. OTHER CAR COMPANIES HAVE CLASS ACTION SUITS FOR SOY-BASED WIRING HARNESSES AND FUEL LINES, SO I DO NOT KNOW WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED WITH THE RAM TRUCKS. I WOULD LIKE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED AS THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS AND WOULD ONLY BE A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED FROM THIS DESIGN FLAW. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

STRUCTURE:BODY, POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE IS A 2015 RAM 1500 TRUCK WITH 8-SPEED TRANSMISSIONS AND "DIAL-A-GEAR" ELECTRONIC GEAR SELECTOR. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO A GAS STATION AND PULLED UP NEXT TO A GAS PUMP. DRIVER EXITED THE VEHICLE, AND REALIZED THAT THEY NEEDED TO PULL FORWARD ABOUT 2 MORE FEET TO BETTER ALIGN THE TRUCK WITH THE GAS PUMP. THE DRIVER GOT BACK INTO THE TRUCK, TURNED THE KNOB TO "DRIVE," AND PULLED FORWARD. ONCE THE TRUCK WAS STOPPED, THE DRIVER TURNED THE KNOB TO "PARK" AND EXITED THE TRUCK. AS THE DRIVER STEPPED OUT OF THE TRUCK IT BEGAN TO MOVE BACKWARDS, CAUSING THE DRIVER'S DOOR TO IMPACT THE POLE PROTECTING THE PUMPS, AND OVER-EXTENDING THE DOOR AND HINGES BEYOND NORMAL OPERATION. THE DRIVER QUICKLY JUMPED BACK INTO THE TRUCK AND STOPPED IT'S MOVEMENT, AND THEN VERIFIED THAT THE GEAR SELECTOR WAS SHOWING "PARK." THE DRIVER WAS UNINJURED, BUT THE INCIDENT RESULTED IN $2,200.00 OF DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK WAS MOVED FORWARD AGAIN, THE DOOR PULLED BACK TO A NORMAL POSITION, THE GEAR SELECTION KNOB AGAIN TURNED TO THE "PARK" POSITION, AND THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION WAS CONFIRMED TO BE IN "PARK." THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AT QUIKTRIP GAS STATION #764 ON AUGUST 10, 2017. IT WAS CAPTURED ON THE LOCATION'S SURVEILLANCE VIDEO SYSTEM ON CAMERAS "GAS LEFT" AND "PARKING LEFT" STARTING AT THE TIME OF 15:50:33, WITH THE ACTUAL INCIDENT BETWEEN 15:51:26 AND 15:51:29. VIDEO CAN BE REQUESTED THROUGH QUIKTRIP'S CORPORATE OFFICE AT 770-368-1616.

MY RAM TRUCK WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. I WENT OUT AND STARTED MY TRUCK, WENT BACK INSIDE THE HOUSE TO GATHER MY THINGS APPROXIMATELY 2-3 MINUTES. WHEN I CAME BACK OUT TO MY DRIVEWAY MY TRUCK HAD STARTED TO ROLL DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND ENDED UP CRASHING INTO MY NEIGHBORS FENCE. THE TRUCK WAS IN PARK WHEN STARTED AND SOMEHOW CAME OUT OF GEAR OR HAD A COMPUTER FAILURE ON THE ROTARY SHIFT KNOB. THE DIAL INDICATOR WAS STILL IN PARK WHEN I ENTERED THE VEHICLE AFTER THE ROLL AWAY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
DRIVING ALONG AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE "THROTTLE CONTROL SENSOR" LIGHT COMES ON FOR A QUICK SECOND, THEN GOES OFF, AND "ENGINGE LIGHT" GOES ON. WITHING SECONDS, THE TRUCK LOSES POWER, GIVING YOU LITTLE TO NO TIME TO PREPARE AND REACT. IT HAS HAPPENED IN L.A. ON FRWY WITH LOADS OF TRAFFIC, IT'S SO DANGEROUS TRYING TO GET OVER TO THE SIDE WITHOUT BEING KILLED! IT HAS HAPPENED 2 TIIMES WHILE IN TOW MODE PULLING TRAILERS, AGAIN SO DANGEROUS WHEN SUDDENLY YOU HAVE NO POWER. ONCE WHILE PULLING HORSES IN THE TRAILER, ON AN UP-HILL, WITH CARS BEHIND ME AND NO WHERE TO PULL OVER (NO SHOULDER). SO UNSAFE, I WAS BADLY SHAKEN OVER THAT ONE WITH MY HORSES IN TOW. SO THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES TO US, DODGE HAS HAD IN SHOP 4 TIMES AND CANNOT FIX. IT IS TERRIFING TO BE GOING ALONG AND HAVE YOUR POWER CUT IN A MOMENTS TIME, AND BE IN "LIMP MODE". WE CAN NO LONGER TRUST THIS TRUCK. SO DANGEROUS

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING MY 2017 RAM 1500 LARAMIE CREW CAB DOWN A DIRT ROAD (APPROX. 25% GRADE) ON A DRY SUMMER DAY, THE TRUCK SEEMS TO ACCELERATE AND THEN ABRUPTLY DECELERATE. THE TRUCK WAS IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE LOW AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS MANUALLY PLACED IN 1ST GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD HOLD THE VEHICLE FROM GOING MORE THAN 4 MPH ON EVERY OTHER DOWNHILL AREA EXCEPT FOR THIS LONGER STRETCH (APPROX 300 FT.). THE TRUCK ACCELERATED TO ABOVE 8 MPH WITH THE RPM'S ALSO INCREASING AND THAN SUDDENLY DECREASING BACK TO NORMAL. I HAVE BEEN TRAVELING THIS ROAD FOR OVER 20 YEARS WITH MANY DIFFERENT VEHICLES AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR FROM A VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD FIND WRONG, BUT THEY RE-FLASHED TRANSMISSION. THAT SOLVED NOTHING, EVERY TIME I GO DOWN THAT SAME SPOT I HAVE SAME RESULT. SUPPOSEDLY FCA ENGINEERING IS REVIEWING ISSUE, IF THIS IS TO HAPPEN IN THE WINTER, I KNOW THAT THE VEHICLE HAS A VERY COULD CHANCE OF BECOMING UNCONTROLLABLE SINCE THE TRUCK WOULD JUST START TO SKID WHEN IT SLOWS ABRUPTLY. FCA'S RESPONSE WAS TO BE PATIENT. WHEN I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE SOMEONE COME OUT TO THE PROPERTY SO THAT I COULD DUPLICATE THIS ISSUE FOR THEM THEY DECLINED.

UNPREDICTABLE AND SOMETIME VIOLENT DOWNSHIFTING CAUSING MOMENTARY LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING IN WET, SLIPPERY CONDITIONS. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING THROUGH RAIN STORMS. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO EXHIBIT ERRATIC SHIFTING BEHAVIOR AT ~5,000 MILES AND HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE TO A POINT THAT THE TRANSMISSION UNPREDICTABLE SHIFTING OCCURS IN ALL CONDITIONS. THE IMPACT OF THE SHIFTS IS SEVERE ENOUGH THAT IT IS BEING TRANSMITTED THROUGH THE DRIVER'S SEAT CREATING EXTREME DISCOMFORT AND PAIN TO THE LOWER BACK. A 'SERVICE SHIFTER' MESSAGE IS ALSO BEING DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHY THE 'SERVICE SHIFTER' MESSAGE IS COMING ON BECAUSE NO TROUBLE CODES ARE SHOWING; THEY RE-FLASHED THE CPU TO SEE IF WOULD CORRECT THE ERRATIC AND UNPREDICTABLE SHIFTING, IT IS NOT WORKING, IN FACT IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE MAY HAVE A DEFECTIVE DRIVESHAFT WHICH MAY BE CONTRIBUTING TO THE HARSH SHIFTING, THEY HAVE ONE ORDER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY TRUCKS 'SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL' LIGHT (LIGHTNING BOLT) COMES ON BOTH WHEN STARTING MY VEHICLE AND WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE. WHEN IT COMES ON WHEN I TRY TO START THE TRUCK, IT WONT CHANGE OUT OF THE GEAR IT IS IN (IE I CANT GO FASTER THAN 15-18MPH). IT SOMETIMES GOES OFF IF I TURN THE ENGINE ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES. THE MORE DANGEROUS TIMING OF IT IS WHEN THE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE I'M DRIVING.THIS EITHER CAUSES ME TO DOWNSHIFT INTO A LOWER GEAR WHICH THROWS ME FORWARD AND REVS THE ENGINE IN EXCESS OF 3000RPM, OR WHILE I AM STOPPED, THE RPMS CLIMB WITHOUT ANY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. IF I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE WHILE THIS HAPPENS, I ACCELERATE FORWARD EITHER UP TO 18MPH OR 30MPH DEPENDING WHICH GEAR IT IS 'STUCK' IN. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO ONE LOCAL RAM DEALER 6 TIMES REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE. THE DID FLASH UPDATES, REPLACED ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR, BRAKE SENSOR, REPAIRED CONNECTOR FOR THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR, AND REPLACED THROTTLE BODY (ALL OF WHICH AT THE TIME, THEY SAID EACH INDIVIDUAL COMPONENT WAS THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM). I HAVE TAKEN IT TO ANOTHER LOCAL RAM DEALER, AND THEY ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT WITH 4 AND A HALF HOURS OF DIAGNOSTIC TIME. THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AND REPLACED A CABLE/CONNECTOR AND LOW AND BEHOLD, THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR SO, SO MANY REASONS. I NOTE THAT NOT ONLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAVE COME ON, BUT THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, ABS LIGHT, SERVICE 4WD LIGHT, ! TEMP LIGHT, CHECK BRAKE LIGHT, AND OF COURSE THE SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT.

2014 RAN 1500 TRADESMAN BLACKED OUT EDITION. AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE AND PUTTING IN PARK TO CHECK OTHER CONCERNS WHEN RUNNING 40MPH THE TRUCK SHAKES AND SOUNDS LIKE MISFIRE, AFTER STEPPING OUT OF TRUCK IT BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS AND PUSHED ME DOWN. AFTER GETTING BACK UP THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO ROLL DOWN THE HILL AND RAN OVER MY ANKLE AND FOOT. BEFORE CRASHING INTO A CONCRETE WALL. SINCE THEN I HAVE USED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WHEN PARKING AND THE TRUCK WAS REPAIRED BY INSURANCE. 8,000 DOLLARS OF DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK AND MY RIGHT FOOT IS STILL HEALING AFTER 2 MONTHS. DASH SHOWED TRUCK IN PARK AND LEVER WAS COMPLETELY UP. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME IT HAPPENED, AND I GOT LUCKY THE TRUCK DIDN'T RUN OVER MY CHEST OR HEAD. THE FIRST TIME THE TRUCK DIDN'T STAY IN PARK WAS PROBABLY ABOUT 7 MONTHS AGO, I PLACED TRUCK IN PARK AND BEGAN TO GET OUT WHEN THE TRUCK WAS STILL ROLLING FORWARD. I HAD TO PUSH ON BRAKES AND REMOVE FROM PARK AND PUT BACK INTO PARK FOR IT TO WORK. INTERMITTENT PARK POSITION IS A VERY BAD THING TO BE INTERMITTENT.
