2015 Ram 1500 Body & Structure Problems

Unable to open the drivers door from the inside. Cheap design cable at the handle broke. Very common problem.

My truck caught fire while driving at 65 MPH on the interstate on dec 23 2018. All gauges suggested normal operating parameters. The truck has 120k miles.

On 9/21/18 my husband was driving to the store down the interstate and his truck shut off causing him to coast to the shoulder. When he did he noticed some light smoke.

The vehicle's tailgate will randomly open while moving allowing everything in the bed to come out, this has happened multiple times causing damage to the vehicle's tailgate, contents, and last time nearly caused an accident to trailing vehicles. The first occurrence happened within two months of purchasing the truck new in 2015. I assumed that I had simply not latched the tailgate well.

The tailgate recall was supposed to have been fixed, but it didn't work. The tailgate has dropped down at least 4 or 5 times since the supposed recall repair. The last time, it hit the jack on the trailer I was pulling and did quite a bit of damage to the tailgate. I have already submitted this information to Mopar around the 15th and was told I would be contacted within 1 business day, but was not contacted. I have uploaded pictures showing the damage. I have not contacted the insurance company yet.

The tailgate fell open while I was driving December 1, 2021. I had closed the tailgate before pulling onto the roadway. I noticed a thump & stopped to check what had caused the noise.

I was unloading groceries from bed area. Tried to close the tailgate and tailgate would not latch. I always pull on tailgate after closing to make sure it latches but this time it did not.

When I bought my truck in september 2018, earnhardt told me they fixed the recall to the tailgate, and while driving to work this morning my tailgate dropped open at high speeds on the highway. I have only had the truck for one year.

Interrion of truck fills up with water because third brake light, manifold bolts and gaskets need replaced due to some issue. Tapping noise from engine compartment.

Passenger side storage well was completely filled with water. Went unnoticed for unknown number of days. Took vehicle into crown dodge of fayetteville.

About 4 weeks ago the check engine light came on. The code reads as fuel temperature sensor. After the recall for the tailgate, my truck tailgate has opened twice while driving.

Brake light assembly does not seal properly any time it rains or the vehicle gets washed water leaks into the cabin. Roof liner is already stained and the vehicle interior may become damaged.

My dodge ram 2011 1500 and my 2015 dodge ram 1500 both when it rains my back under the seats gets filled with 2" rain water. This must be a inherit problem the roof must be leaking causing this rain water to run to that area. Will cause rust area to cause weaken body to case seat to weaken in this area.

Tailgate of truck randomly falls/opens during driving on roadways. It appears to be related to auto-lock/unlock feature or plastic parts in latch. I have had it replaced 2 times and it appears to take care of the issues temporarily.

Truck is leaking inside the interior, in the exit handle. Water was in the headliner, blinker switch, floorboard and inside the exit handle. Took to dealer.

The inner fender made out of metal with a hard plastic shroud on previous years, has been eliminated. In its place there is now a flimsy thin plastic shroud that can be bent and deformed by hand and removed by hand with a couple of healthy tugs. This membrane is the only protection provided for ABS components, a/c and power steering hoses, and numerous other components found under the hood.

Engine hood latch failed. Hood would not close.

While moving to south carolina I noticed that something was hanging, a wire or some typ if line, as I crawled under the truck, I found that it was the fuel tank strap. The strap had pulled out from the frame that was corroded. I have always washed the under carriage coming from massachussetts and the road salt.

Tailgate does not latch properly. Falls open randomly.

Front Fuel tank strap ripped out of the frame do to corrosion causing the front of the gas tank to drop almost 6 inches. I live in New York and read that the same issue has occurred on the Ram 1500 from 2009 to 2012

I had safety recall u74 done in july 2018 , in my tailgate . The problem is doing the same thing again. And I was told by chrysler that it is out of warranty.

I purchased my 2015 ram 1500 brand new ordered from the factory. After about two years the ram box covers degraded which leave pieces of fiberglass in my arms whenever I reach across them to tie something down or get something out of the bed of my truck. This causes a rash that lasts for about two weeks.

3rd brake light not sealed and allows water to enter truck. Can interiors liner wet and stains. Back leather seats wet and stained

Tailgate has fallen open twice without notice. First time it happened I had just started my truck and was parked, the tailgate fell open, hitting a tree and dented the tailgate. The second time I just pulled out of a parking lot and the tailgate fell open and I almost lost the load in the back of the truck bed.

Tailgate open when I road a few times monthly.

The tailgate falls/ slams open while driving down the road and while parked. This happens multiple times every day.

Tailgate randomly opens while vehicle is in motion allowing bed contents to potentially fall onto road creating safety hazard. Appears to be connected to auto-locking mechanism in tailgate.

The truck bed tailgate is having an issue with the locks. On multiple occasions I have had the truck bed open while I was driving on local highways. In addition the bed is no longer staying unlocked with the other locks on the vehicle or it will stay locked when the rest of the truck is unlocked.
