Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Purchased the vehicle used in 2020, and shortly thereafter, noticed the engine idling rough. Determined that the throttle body was loose on the (plastic ) intake manifold. Attempted to tighten the throttle body screws per manufacturer torque specs, but they were stripped. Investigating this, the design employs sheet metal screws into untapped plastic manifold holes. I had to use high temp RTV to secure the throttle body on to the manifold. This worked for a couple of years, but the throttle body became loose again. Tried to get a replacement OEM manifold from the dealership, but after several months, was told that the part was unavailable. More importantly, the same poor design is incorporated in the replacement part. I had to re-apply the high temp RTV in order to secure the throttle body on to the manifold for the truck to function. I believe that this poor design poses a safety concern because the throttle body could detach from the intake manifold at critical driving times. This design problem is widespread with all Chrysler V-8 vehicles, in several model years.

Defect Description:
STEERING
Potential Consequences:
My steering wheel only turns violently to the right (I have a video that will not upload). My husband almost broke his thumb when it happened. Thankfully no one was injured. However, we were about to leave on a 1200-mile trip when this happened. This problem will not go away. Ram has refused to even look at the truck even though there is a recall on this in 1500 Ram trucks including diesels like mine, but not my vin#. There was absolutely no warning before this happened. We are grateful we were not on the highway when this happened, or I would not be able to write this to you today. I called Ram customer service on 11/6 and disconnected right when they were giving me the case number. I called back on 11/7 to get the case number and was informed that the last person never created one. She created 2 case numbers for me, 1 to look at the vehicle as this is a major safety issue and another one for my rental car expense and told me I would be contacted in 4 business days. On the 4th day I called customer support back and they told me to tow it to a local dodge dealership and confirmed which one to send it to that was close. I called to have it towed there and called customer service back to let them know and the women told me that they denied my claim on 11/8 and in addition she informed me that she also had me tow it to a non-authorized dealer. I was never notified and why did they have me tow my vehicle to a dealer if they never planned on looking at the vehicle. Also, they let me eat this cost and the cost to tow it out of there. I need my truck back and I can no longer afford the rental car in addition to $3800 (right now) to fix the truck so I am having "My Mechanic" (name of shop) fix this issue and I am paying out of pocket. However, they can only find an OEM part and I am afraid that this part may end up being faulty as well.

Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
The last few weeks I’ve noticed my truck hasn’t been right. With some online investigation I realized the misfire code I been getting is related to a cam and lifter issue. Based on the forms I’ve viewed. The ram 1500 with the 5.7 engine has a known issue that the cams and lifters wear down after a very short period of time. I’ve seen cases of 60k miles up to 120k miles. This is a crucial part of the vehicle and there’s no reason this should only last for a short period of time. Especially with all these people who claim had to spend thousands of dollars on repairs or sometimes new engines entirely. I have older vehicles from the 2000’s with more miles than never have had issues like this. This is either a bad part that was produced or bad material of some sort. I’m hoping I’m not the only one to complain about this and we can try to resolve this issue.

The last few weeks I’ve noticed my truck hasn’t been right. With some online investigation I realized the misfire code I been getting is related to a cam and lifter issue. Based on the forms I’ve viewed. The ram 1500 with the 5.7 engine has a known issue that the cams and lifters wear down after a very short period of time. I’ve seen cases of 60k miles up to 120k miles. This is a crucial part of the vehicle and there’s no reason this should only last for a short period of time. Especially with all these people who claim had to spend thousands of dollars on repairs or sometimes new engines entirely. I have older vehicles from the 2000’s with more miles than never have had issues like this. This is either a bad part that was produced or bad material of some sort. I’m hoping I’m not the only one to complain about this and we can try to resolve this issue.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
In May/June 2023, my ABS, Emergency Brake, and traction control lights all came on on my dashboard. I received a notice when starting the car that I need to service electronic braking system and service trailer brake system. At the same time, my cruise control stopped working. I took my vehicle to Hendrick Dodge in Cary, NC, on June 7, 2023, and received the following diagnosis: C220-49-Anti-lock brake module internal - internal electronic failure. The receipt said "the abs module is dead recommend replacing the hcu and abs module." It was an expensive repair and the advisor handling my visit that day assured me that my brakes still work and the vehicle is safe to drive. I also asked if safe to pull my horse trailer and he said yes. I decided a few months later to get the repair done and tried to order the module through the Hendrick Parts department. They indicated that there was an engineering hold on the part and they could not order it. The hold went until early (perhaps February or March?) 2024. So I made a note to call back in March - which I did, but at a different dealership parts department (John Heister in Sanford, NC). At that time, they said the hold was until May 2024. So I called back in May and they indicated the part is now available, but the vehicle has to come back in to be inspected and take pictures and ensure they order the correct part. I took the vehicle on May 21, they confirmed the issue and ordered the parts. The parts did not come in until August, when I had the following replaced for a cost of $2770 on August 30, 2024 to replace the ABS module and install anit-lock brake control. Earlier this month my husband who owns a 2022 Ram 1500 received a notification for a recall for the same issue on his truck. Due to my experience, I believe the 2016 RAM 1600 has the same issue and a recall should be extended to include 2016 models.

Defect Description:
FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Potential Consequences:
The automatic brake system (ABS) module has failed. Warning lights on the dash are for brakes, traction control and automating braking. The lights are frequent but not constant. When lit, the vehicle loses 4 wheel drive and cruise control. Sudden loss of cruise control at highway speeds is a safety hazard. Loss of 4 wheel drive in inclement weather is also a hazard. The truck was inspected by a Ram dealer and the ABS module was identified as defective. This was in June of 2024. As of today the replacement module from Mopar is still unavailable and currently showing “under engineering review” in the manufacturers system. The availability date for the part has been “rolling” since my initial issue in June. The Ram dealership and the Ram Customer Service team cannot provide a solution or a firm date of resolution. There is a recall for the same make and model for newer versions of my vehicle but not my 2016 Ram 1500. The Customer Service rep stated my truck was suitable to drive other than poor weather conditions. The rep did agree that the vehicle was unsafe in this condition.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
The ABS module has been out on my truck for almost a year and RAM still hasn't released a part. According to forums on the internet for this year model and others, this has become a common issue. I am driving my truck without the ability to use my ABS system. I have called RAM customer service and my local dealer(s) several times and a part is not available. I can't get a response from my case worker with RAM. This should be a recall issue.
