2014 RAM 3500 owner complaints

I have had this truck inspected several times due to the steering bracket weld failures as per the recalls. I was recently at the metroplex Dodge on denton dr. By love filed airport in dallas and on my way home I heard a rubbing noise coming from the front passenger side wheel I noticed the wheel well cover was loose and was rubbing against the tire. Upon further inspection I noticed the welds on the spring perch bracket which is welded on the fram rails had broken off and and pushed the plastic wheel cover off. The spring perch bent upward and the spring is about to come off. Had the spring perch bracket broken off from the remaining weld wouldn of caused a roll over. One of the recalls mentioned some steering components may have welds with insufficient fusion which causes the welds to br

This truck occasionally after going over a bump in the road at highway speeds will develop a jarring, constant severe vibration in the steering wheel and suspension. From what I can tell this is the "death wobble" I have seen reported online. It is a very violent vibration that can only be stopped by slowing the truck below 25-30mph. It is so severe that it feels like you are going to lose control of the vehicle. This has now happened 4 times with this vehicle. It has approximately 44,000 miles on it.

this was a recall and all parts broke again . called dealer december 18 2023 and they have no idea what to do .

While driving, heard loud pop. Lost steering and breaking ability. My husband notice the water pump had blown and the belt was shredded. Dodge said the water pump was on recall. They replaced it with another recalled water pump and refused to replace the belt and any fluids although they were a result of the pump. Concerned that this will happen again and cause wreck.

Recall t51 I'm deeply concerned that its been two months since I received a letter from the NHTSA in reference to a recall # ( t51 ) that my truck needs to get done, to avoid a potential risk that could lead to injury or even death, for me the driver, or any passenger. NHTSA stated on that letter, that a repair must be done by the manufacturer, as soon as possible, to avoid possible tragedy. It's been two months that I have been calling consistently and very worried about this issue, to my closest Ram dealership, in las vegas, nevada. Unfortunatelly every time I call, they tell me that I have to wait until the parts are available. I call the manufacturer and they told me tha same, that the parts are not available. So I'm writing to express my great concern that, both the dealership and

The Turbo Actuator failed while driving on a two-lane highway without a shoulder to safely pull over. The truck lost power down to a maximum speed of 10mph until I could safely pull off of the highway. The problem has been diagnosed with a OBD2 scanner. No other inspections by police or insurance. The MIL did not turn on until the vehicle was pulled off of the highway and at a stop.

I have noticed on different occasions a strong smell of diesel exhaust coming into the cab of my truck. It does not smell like the exhaust exiting the rear tailpipe (post DPF/catalyst). Each time it has happened, it has been when I was stopped or moving slow in both forward or reverse (on a street, or backing into a parking spot). The first couple of times I thought it was a smell coming from a different vehicle, but then I found that it was happening when there were no others around. I did a quick internet search, and it seems as though this is a widespread issue. *tr

Scr system has failed twice with only 75700 miles on. Needing full replacement of the scr system. Symptoms include constant exhaust regeneration and engine fault codes on OBD.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 Ram 3500. The contact stated that the transmission failed to function when hauling a trailer, which caused the vehicle to switch into limp mode. The independent mechanic replaced the solenoid pack and the vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer indicated that the vehicle was excluded from any power train recalls. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was not available.

I bought a brand new 2013 Ram laramie longhorn 1 ton 4x4 truck with the aisin transmission in july 2013. The truck would buck/jerk . It went back to the dealer numerous times. Each time I was told that there was a "software update," that might fix the problem. After numerous updates & no fix, the dealer consulted w/ the engineers at Ram, in which it was advised for the dealer to try & replace the torq converter. The torq converter did not fix the problem. The truck was not safe to drive. I hired a lemon law attorney & Chrysler bought the truck back & gave me a 2014 laramie longhorn 3500. On november 21, 2014 I picked up the new truck. On november 27th, 2014 while driving thru town at approx 40mph & the truck started the same bucking/jerking. I took the truck back to the local dealers

The rear driver's side upper shock mount was found broken during an inspection. The part showed signs of possible metal fatigue, and not a corrosion induced failure, resulting in the metal stem (retaining the upper shock) to "snap" off the welded shock mount bracket.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 Ram 3500. While driving at approximately 55 MPH, there was an abnormal noise, the steering pulled to the left and right, and the contact lost control of the vehicle. The contact was able to merge the vehicle to the side of the road. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the track bar bracket fractured and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 15v541000 (suspension) and stated that the part needed for the repair was not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 27,000. VIN tool confirms parts not ava

When traveling at a speed of 50 to 75 MPH and driving over uneven pavement or transitions (bridges or intersections) that are not smooth the steering wheel shakes vigorously. The shake is to the point that you have to grip it tightly to ensure control of the vehicle to make sure you don't cause an accident. The wheels wobble back and forth vigorously just like the steering wheel. You cannot press on your brakes until your speed drops when you let off the gas. This happens on all kinds of roadways. This first happened on 09/15/2016 and still happens to this day. I have videos of this happening.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 Dodge Ram 3500. While driving approximately 45 MPH, the vehicle was involved in a crash and the air bags failed to deploy.

The failure mileage was 79,519.*dt *dt*jb

Crack inside wheel approximate to valve stem causing liw air pressure. Had I not caught it in time this could have been catastrophic. Half a million of these trucks are sold every year, which equals 3 million more if these mexican steel rims on the road which the same potential!!! And the cheaply constructed rims are mounted in a less than sufficient suspension system.

Right steer wheel split, allowing air to escape creating a severer pull to the right. Thankfully, the wheel did not come completely apart or this could have been catastrophic, as I drive nationwide.

Fuel sensor failure at 52,000 miles. Vehicle was parked for 2 days around christmas, started day after christmas and engine light is on, 'fuel sensor failure' alert comes across, fuel gauge on empty while having a full tank.

My service abs light comes on and off, which makes cruise control inoperable and rear park sensors inoperable. This also makes putting into 4x4 impossible unless I turn off the truck, switch to 4x4, and start it before the sensor kicks off. I’m worried about the abs mainly. I contacted my dealer and they said it’s a common issue but the part is almost $1k and backordordered for months. How is this not a recall or safety issue?
