My truck, like those of numerous other Ram owners, has a malfunctioning ABS Control Module. Because of this malfunction, the ABS and cruise control do not work. In turn, this places me and other owners of this vehicle in an unsafe situation in that lack of an operating ABS system is conducive to skidding and accidents.

On 3 different times my accelerator pedal has gotten stuck and accelerating to about 90 plus MPH while driving. I had to stomp on it several times to get it unstuck while riding the brake, I have read where other people have had the same problem as mine. However the dodge dealer said they have not gotten any recalls on this problem and can not do anything for me until there is a recall.

My vehicle is a ram ecodiesel. Fca was caught installing software to fraudulently report emissions data and was ordered by the epa to install new software to bring emissions into compliance. I got this so-called "repair" in august in so doing, my vehicle (and many others) developed an acceleration lag that is quite dangerous -- particularly when the engine is just started.

Dear NHTSA, I am writing to express my disappointment regarding my experience with my 2015 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, particularly in relation to unresolved recalls and inadequate service from dealerships. Last year, I began experiencing significant issues with my truck, ultimately leading me to Southern Motors in Springfield. They diagnosed the problem as needing a new engine, which was concerning.

My truck is experiencing the “hemi tick”. Upon research, this tick is a common defect in RAM trucks that was supposed to be fixed in later models. Not only do I need to pay thousands for replacing the manifold, it will be a problem again.

The ABS control module has failed over a year ago and factory replacement parts are unavailable. Mopar dealers advise they are on backorder with no expected delivery date. The failure of this unit disables the Anti-Lock Braking System, Electronic Stability Control and Electronic Speed Control.

...The component that failed is the ABS and traction system, the hitch brake system and the cruise control also stopped working, all this abs and traction system when it stops working can cause the vehicle to not move have correct performance in its braking and skidding system, which can be dangerous, especially in severe rainy and humid climates. I took the car for inspection to the dealer in naplenton in kisiimmee fl and the diagnosis so far is that it has damage to the abs module and the abs pump, which must be replaced and whose price for parts and labor is around 1615 $ with a tendency to increase according to the dealer, so far I only have the diagnosis and quote of the arrangement, since the parts take around 7 days to be available. Yesterday I contacted the FCA inquiring about the warranties of the car on these parts and about an extended warranty that they had offered me in the past tense due to other damages that I had previously in the vehicle with other parts, I did not get a response from FCA about that warranty and The dealer tells me that I do not have any warranties to cover this repair, so I will have to put it out of my pocket. It should be noted that my truck is from 2015 and it is a work vehicle and it only has 54,000 thousand miles, that is, it is a truck that has been given the use and exploitation for which it is designed .... thank you very much

After completing the emissions recall on the eco diesel a significant lag in acceleration has occurred. This lag impacts ability to keep with the flow of traffic when merging etc. This is a safety hazard as it is unpredictable and driver cannot determine acceleration by simply pressing the pedal down - sometimes with a 5-10 second delay in response to accelerate.

On 5 different occasions this truck has gone into what the dealership is referring to as limp mode. No matter what speed you are traveling the truck involuntarily down shifts into a speed averaging 20 miles per hour without warning. This happened twice while traveling on the highway doing approximately 65 miles an hour.

After the v08 recall the drivability of vehicle is dangerous. The fuel consumption and the lag of the engine is also a huge concern but it handles totally different. While it still seems decently reliable, for now, everyday unsureness of trying to anticipate how the vehicle will handle during driving is the primary factor.
