POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
AFTER PULLING INTO MY DRIVE WAY WITH MY ADULT SON IN THE PASSENGER SEAT I WAS ROLLING UP TO THE GARAGE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL SLOWING DOWN THE TRUCK. I STOPPED THE TRUCK COMPLETELY, BY PUSHING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL HARDER, ABOUT 5 FEET FROM THE HOUSE. I REACHED DOWN TO ROTATE THE SHIFT DIAL TO PARK, "P". AFTER TURNING TO "P" THE TRUCK ENGINE STARTED REVVING AND THE TRUCK LURCHED FORWARD, AFTER INITIALLY BEING STARTLED I LOOKED DOWN AND SAW THE SHIFT DIAL WAS AT "P" AND THE ENGINE WAS STILL REVVING. THE TRUCK THEN STRUCK THE CORNER OF THE HOUSE WHILE I WAS ALMOST STANDING UP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TRYING TO GET IT TO STOP. I TURNED THE SHIFT DIAL TO REVERSE AND BACK TO PARK AND THE TRUCK STOPPED REVVING AND MOVING. THEN I BACKED AWAY FROM THE HOUSE. BEING A RETIRED POLICE DETECTIVE THE FIRST THING I DID WAS TO CHECK TO SEE IF THE FACTORY FLOOR MAT HAD DISLODGED AND JAMMED INTO THE PEDALS BUT IT WAS PROPERLY HOOKED IN PLACE. AFTER GETTING THE TRUCKS BODY DAMAGE REPAIRED I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER BUT THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK. I DID NOTICE THAT WHEN I PICKED THE TRUCK UP FROM THE DEALER THERE WAS A CLICKING SOUND UNDER THE DASH WHEN I ROTATED THE SHIFT DIAL FROM "R" TO "P" THAT I DO NOT RECALL HEARING BEFORE. NO CLICKING IS HEARD WHEN CHANGING BETWEEN ANY OTHER GEARS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WITH AROUND 14000 MILES ON MY TRUCK I WAS DRIVING HOME AND WAS ALERTED THAT MY FRONT LEFT BLINKER WAS BURNT OUT, MOMENTS LATER I WAS NOTIFIED THAT MY RIGHT FRONT BLINKER WAS BURNT OUT. A FEW MILES DOWN THE INTERSTATE FROM THAT I WAS NOTIFIED THAT MY RIGHT FOG LIGHT HAD BURNT OUT. I WAS GOING TO TAKE MY TRUCK IN THE NEXT DAY (MONDAY MORNING). BEFORE HEADING TO THE DEALERSHIP I INSPECTED MY FRONT LIGHTS TO FIND THAT MY FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT WAS OUT ALSO. I WAITED UNTIL THE SUN CAME UP AND PRIOR TO HEADING TO THE DEALERSHIP I CHECKED THE LIGHTS AGAIN. ALL WERE WORKING SO I DIDN'T TAKE MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP (MONDAY MID-MORNING). TUESDAY MORNING THE CYCLE REPEATED ITSELF GETTING NOTIFIED FIRST OF THE LEFT FRONT BLINKER, THEN THE RIGHT FRONT BLINKER, THEN THE FOG LIGHT. I SAW NO REFLECTION FROM THE TAIL LIGHT BLINKER AS WELL. MY TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP GETTING CHECKED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE 2014 RAM 1500 SPORT I BOUGHT HAS HAD REPEATED DASH AND INTERIOR LIGHTING PROBLEMS. THE DASH LIGHTS RANDOMLY FLICKER OR DON'T TURN ON AT ALL. ON SOME OCCASIONS NO INTERIOR LIGHTS AT ALL WOULD WORK. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES BUT STILL HASN'T BEEN REPAIRED. THE DEALERSHIP HAS DONE SOFTWARE UPDATES, RE-GROUNDED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND REPLACED THE BODY CONTROL MODULE WITHOUT FIXING THE PROBLEM. IN ADDITION THE REMOTE START SOMETIMES DOES NOT START THE TRUCK IT LOCKS THE DOORS INSTEAD, THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIND A SOLUTION. I FEEL THAT THE DIAL USED TO SELECT THE DRIVE GEAR IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD. THE DIAL IS A SIMILAR SIZE AND SHAPE AS THE COMFORT AND RADIO CONTROLS AND PLACED RIGHT NEXT TO OTHER DASH KNOBS. I BELIEVE THAT A DRIVER COULD INTEND TO CHANGE THE RADIO STATION OR TURN THE FAN DOWN BUT INADVERTENTLY TAKE THE TRUCK OUT OF GEAR. OVERALL THIS TRUCK HAS SERIOUS ELECTRICAL FLAWS AND THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING KNOCKED OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE IN MY OPINION. *TR

POWER TRAIN
EVER SINCE I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK IT HAS JERKED WHEN COMING TO A STOP. SOMETIMES ONE TO THREE JERKS, IF I WAS NOT BRAKING IT WOULD STILL BE ENGAGED AND MOVE FOREWORD. NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE RECALL ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION. TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER THREE TIMES. FIRST THEY SAID IT NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. SECOND THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS OK, THEY SAID THE SERVICE MANAGER TEST DROVE IT AND IT WAS FINE. THIRD TIME THEY WOULDN'T TAKE IT, TOLD ME THE IT WAS "NORMAL" FOR A DODGE TRUCK! SERVICE PERSON TOLD ME SHE HAD A DODGE AND IT DOES THE SAME. EXPLAINED TO HER I HAVE DRIVEN SEVERAL ONE-TON DODGE TRUCKS AND NONE OF THEM HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM. FEAR THAT IT WILL JUMP FOREWORD AT A STOP AND HIT SOMETHING AND THAT WHEN IT FINALLY DOES GO OUT, I WILL BE CHARGED WITH REPLACING EVERYTHING INVOLVED. COULD NOT LOCATE WORK ORDERS BUT HAVE THEM. WROTE YOU SEVERAL MONTHS AGO WITH NO RESPONSE, NOT THIS FORM. *JS

TOOK TRUCK IN TO HOYTE DODGE BECAUSE IT HAS A REAL BAD VIBRATION WHEN DRIVING. AFTER THEY DROVE SEVERAL TIMES AND BALANCED TIRES STILL HAS SAME PROBLEM. THEY DRIVE IT AND SAY THEY FEEL NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. WOULD LIKE SOME ONE TO LOOK INTO THIS FOR ME. I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS WITH A NEW TRUCK. *JS

TIRES, WHEELS
2014 DODGE RAM 1500 FACTORY GOODYEAR TIRES BLOW OUT DURING INTERSTATE DRIVING IN HERSHEY PA MODEL OEM GOODYEAR WRANGLER 275/60R20 I WAS GETTING INTO I-83 AT SPEED OF 45MPH WHEN I HEARD A SOUND. AND JUST DOWN THE ROAD IN I-83 WHEN I WAS AT SPEED OF 60MPH THE TIRE SENSOR CAME UP SHOWING PSI <17. THESE TIRES WERE ROTATED AROUND 5K MILES AND NITROGEN GAS USED. IF I WAS DRIVING AT THE SPEED OF THE TRAFFIC (>70MPH) WHEN THE TIRE BLOW OUT TOOK PLACE IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ROAD ACCIDENT. AFTER IT WAS TAKEN FOR REPAIR IT SHOWED A LATERAL BLOW OUT OF THE TIRE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FIRST OFF I LOVE MY TRUCK. I AM HOWEVER HIGHLY FRUSTRATED THAT DODGE CAN NOT SEEM TO RESOLVE TWO ISSUES THAT I AM HAVING. THE FIRST I BELIEVE IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR ABOUT A YEAR, AND HAVE HAD IT AT 3 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS EACH TIME THEY SAY THAT THEY CAN NOT SEEM TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THERE IS NO CODE STORED IN THE COMPUTER THERE FOR NOTHING DONE. WHILE I AM DRIVING AROUND TOWN AT SPEEDS OF 40-50 MPH ALL OF MY DASH LIGHTS AND MY RADIO TURN OFF, STAY OFF FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS AS IF REBOOTING AND COME BACK ON. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS WITH DIALS ALL FALL TO THE LEFT NOT READING ANYTHING. I AM AFRAID THAT ONE TIME IT DOES THIS IT WILL NOT COME BACK ON AND LEAVE ME STRANDED OR WORSE MAYBE CAUSE ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. THE SECOND ISSUE I HAVE BEEN HAVING IS THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCKS FRONT AND BACK SEEM TO HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN AND DO NOT LOCK WHEN THEIR SUPPOSED TO. SAME THING TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND A RE-FLASH OF THE COMPUTER WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY STILL WILL NOT LOCK WITH THE SWITCH ON THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER SIDE, EITHER KEY PHOEBE, OR THROUGH U CONNECT (REMOTELY). 1 DEALERSHIP DID SUPPOSEDLY CHANGE-OUT AN ACTUATOR AND IT IS STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THAT WAS 9/24/14. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN THROUGH A MYRIAD OF "FIXES". IT IS NOW 02/03/15 (5 1/2 MONTHS) - THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS IT IN FOR "REPAIR". THE WARRANTY REQUIRES THAT THE VEHICLE NOT BE DRIVEN WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, THUS DENYING US OF THE REGULAR USE OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH IS CRITICAL IN OUR CATTLE OPERATION. THE FULL NATURE OF THE COMPLAINT MAY BE OBTAINED BY FAXING OR EMAILING A REQUEST TO US. *TR

ENGINE
TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY FEEDER ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 4:45 PM AT APPROXIMATELY 30-35 MPH. PREPARED TO COME TO A STOP AT AN APPROACHING INTERSECTION CONTROLLED BY 3 WAY STOP SIGNS. AS I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN THE TRUCK STALLED OUT. THE LIGHT OVER THE D ON THE GEAR SELECTOR WAS FLASHING AND THE DASH PANEL INDICATED THAT I SHOULD SHIFT INTO PARK AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. I COASTED TO A SAFE STOP, APPLIED THE BRAKE AND SHIFTED TO STOP AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. I REMAINED ON THE FEEDER AND THE TRUCK REPEATED THE INCIDENT AT THE VERY NEXT INTERSECTION. I GOT THE TRUCK RUNNING AGAIN AND PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND CALLED THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AND TALKED TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHO SAID THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING. THIS SAME INCIDENT HAPPENED THREE WEEKS AGO BUT WE THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE. WEATHER WAS AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. RAINY AND 43 DEGREES. HAD THE HEATER RUNNING, THE SEAT AND STEERING WHEEL HEATER ON. TURNED THEM ALL OFF CONCERNED THAT THEY MIGHT BE PART OF THE CAUSE. *TR

AIR BAGS
THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THE DASHBOARD MESSAGE CENTER SAID TO GET AIRBAG SERVICED. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO FRIENDSHIP DODGE IN BRISTOL TN 37620 TO GET REPAIRS ON THE AIRBAG. THEY DID REPAIR THE AIRBAG, BUT THE SERVICE AIRBAG MESSAGE KEPT COMING ON AND OFF. NOW IT IS STAYING ON ALL THE TIME. I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THEY REFUSED TO FIX IT. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
INITIALLY, THE VEHICLE HAD AN ABNORMALLY STRONG NEW CAR SMELL. (THE SMELL HAS NOW BEEN WIDELY REPORTED ON INTERNET FORUMS BY OTHER OWNERS.) I THOUGHT THIS WOULD DISSIPATE OVER TIME. THE SMELL WAS SO STRONG THAT I HAD TO LEAVE THE WINDOWS OPEN WHILE DRIVING DUE TO A NAUSEATING ODOR. AFTER SITTING IN THE VEHICLE, OCCUPANTS COULD ACTUALLY TASTE SOME TYPE OF RESIDUE. IN ADDITION, A FOUL ODOR CAME FROM THE HEATING SYSTEM, ESPECIALLY AT IDLE. AFTER TWO MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP, AND FRUSTRATION, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP (ALTHOUGH I HAD MENTIONED THE STRONG ODOR BEFORE DURING A FOLLOW-UP CALL). THE DEALERSHIP FLUSHED THE COOLING SYSTEM AND REPLACED THE HOSES BECAUSE OF A TECHNICAL SERVICE DOCUMENT. THE DOCUMENT STATED THERE WAS A CHEMICAL REACTION BETWEEN A NEW TYPE OF COOLANT AND THE INTERIOR LINING OF COOLANT HOSES. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS PROCEDURE DID NOT ELIMINATE THE FOUL SMELL EXPERIENCED WHILE DRIVING. I NOTICED THE ODOR WAS STRONGEST ONCE THE ENGINE WARMED, SO IT TOOK LONGER TO SURFACE DURING COLD TEMPERATURES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID I SHOULD CALL THE MANUFACTURER. MY INITIAL CALL WAS PLACED OVER A MONTH AGO. AN ADDITIONAL COOLANT SYSTEM FLUSH WAS PERFORMED, BUT YIELDED NO RESULTS. I HAVE BEEN SENT TO DIFFERENT DIVISIONS WITHIN CHRYSLER, AND HAVE MOSTLY EXPERIENCED FRUSTRATING DELAYS AND INACCURATE DATA ENTRY. I'VE VISITED THE DEALERSHIP A TOTAL OF FOUR TIMES, AND SPENT HOURS ON THE PHONE WITH THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THE ODOR IS BEING PULLED IN FROM THE ENGINE BAY. THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE THE ODOR IS AS SOME TYPE OF CHEMICAL FINISH OR RESIDUE ENTERING THE CABIN. MY VEHICLE IS FOR FAMILY USE. I FEEL EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE ACTUAL ODOR AND POTENTIAL HEALTH RISKS. *TR

I PURCHASED MY RAM ON TUESDAY (01/20/15). THE VEHICLE WAS A LEFT OVER 2014 MODEL THAT HAD BEEN ON THE DEALER'S LOT SINCE APPROXIMATELY MAY 2014. ON THURSDAY EVENING (01/22/15), AFTER A DAY'S RAIN, I OPENED THE RIGHT-REAR DOOR AND NOTICED THAT A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF WATER HAD LEAKED THROUGH THE REAR WINDOW. A FOLDED UP TOWEL, THAT WAS UNDERNEATH THE REAR SEAT, WAS COMPLETELY SOAKED THROUGH. THE SEATS WERE WET ALONG WITH THE SURROUNDING CARPETED AREA. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON THE EVENING OF JANUARY 14TH 2015, I DROVE TO A LOCAL GAS STATION AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE WHILE I PUT FUEL IN MY TRUCK. WHEN I PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START AND THE MESSAGE CENTER STATED "WRONG KEY FOB". THE TRUCK HAD TO BE TOWED TO A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER. IT HAS NOW BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR 5 DAYS. THE DEALER THINKS THAT POSSIBLY THE WIRELESS IGNITION MODULE MALFUNCTIONED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAS 37,100 MILES. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING, THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE SHUT OFF, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD HAVE LOCKED, AND I WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AND MAY HAVE CRASHED. *TR

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES WITHIN 30 DAYS. AT LOW SPEEDS BETWEEN 15MPH AND 35MPH, ENGINE STOPS, GAUGES GO DEAD AND APROX 6 SECONDS LATER THE TRANSMISSION SLAMS INTO PARK. 1ST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS LIGHTLY BREAKING & COASTING FOR A STOP LIGHT; 2ND TIME I WAS CRUISING ABOUT 35MPH; AND 3RD TIME I WAS ACCELERATING FROM A DEAD STOP ACROSS 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC. THE TRANSMISSION GOING INTO PARK AFTER THE ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WENT DEAD REMINDS ME OF WHEN YOU TURN THE IGNITION OFF WITHOUT FIRST PUTTING IT INTO PARK - WHEN THIS HAPPENS, A FEW SECONDS LATER, THE TRANSMISSION AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTS INTO THE PARK POSITION. I HAD AT LEAST 1/2 TANK OF GAS EACH OCCURRENCE. I NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP ON 1/14/15, DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE ARE NO RECALLS AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT 2 WEEKS BEFORE THEY CAN CHECK OUT THE PROBLEM, WHICH I CONSIDER SERIOUS. ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL INFO THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE RELATED: THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM FREQUENTLY MALFUNCTIONS - THE PLAY LIST FOR SONGS DUPLICATES IN THE LISTING, SONGS REPEAT TWO TO THREE TIMES, SD CARD SELECTION STOPS WORKING, SD CARD SELECTION ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPS RECOGNIZING THE SD CARD. THE INFOTAINMENT CENTER HAS ALSO COMPLETELY RESTARTED AS IF IT WAS REBOOTING. *TR
