2015 Ram 3500 Other Problems

Your 2015 Ram 3500 has been inoperable for 148 days since a January 2024 emissions recall and has required six service visits to fix defects, with the most recent in October 2024. You're reporting that the manufacturer hasn't effectively communicated or resolved the underlying engine issues despite warranty obligations, leaving your vehicle unable to function and affecting your ability to tow and haul cargo. The fix will likely require the dealership to diagnose and repair the emissions-related engine defects that the recall was meant to address.

After your truck was serviced for a recall that checks wheel studs, the dealer re-torqued your wheels. Shortly after, you noticed brake problems and found that both your brake pads and rotors were damaged, and the wheel studs were now stretched — even though they were fine before the service. The dealer will replace the studs but not the brakes, though your brakes were working properly before the recall work was done.

Your tailgate unexpectedly dropped while backing up in your driveway on November 20, 2023. The tailgate fell a total of three times before you could park the truck. The latch or hinge mechanism holding the tailgate closed may need inspection and repair or replacement.
