Tire pressure monitoring system light keeps going off for the right rear wheel will keep showing no air pressure. This is a intermittent problem. It has been in the dealership now close to 10 days in the last 7 months and the problem has been going on a year now. It started happening after a recall onot the truck was performed. The ball jointso on the truck was replaced about a year ago and in September when I took it to the dealership for work in told them they were bad and check it out.and nothing was done. It is at the dealership as I write this and I let them know thethat were bad again there is clunking when you jack the truck up and push on the tire. Also vibration when driven. Both of these problems are a safety issues. These problems have been going on for way to long and life of the ball joint should be longer then 4-5 months.

The manufacture requires tire pressure be inflated to 80 psi in the rear tires. This makes traction and stability very hard to maneuver on snow/icy covered roads. Tire pressure is unbaled to be lowered because of tps light on dash flashing and beeping. I lost control several times a slow speeds, because of the pressure.

Tire over inflation. Per manufacturer specs the require you to rum 80 psi in rear tire all of the time, even when not loaded, or TPMS comes on. This has lead to wearing through tires in less than 20K of driving. Ram has refused to fix the problem or even acknowledge it is one. All tire manufacturer charts say by the unloaded weight of the rear of the truck tires should be at 45 to 55 psi for proper tire ware.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 2500. While driving approximately 50 mph, the front driver side wheel began to shake and there was a burning odor from the driver side. The front driver side hood area began to smoke and the control began to become unstable. The ABS warning light illuminated and the brakes became inoperable. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who stated that the vehicle was unsafe to drive, but no official diagnostic was given. The failure mileage was 34,000.

The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Ram 2500. The contact stated that the front end of the vehicle vibrated while driving 68 to 78 mph. The vehicle was taken to the dealer numerous times for the failure; however, the dealer test drove the vehicle and was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who balanced and rotated the tires. The driveshaft was replaced, but the failure was not corrected. The approximate failure mileage was 17,000.

I have a 2014 Ram 2500, the truck has a vibration between 68mph-80mph. The dealer said I had a bad universal joint in the driveshaft. Replaced driveshaft still vibrates, mother said it's tires. Replaced tires and wheels and it still vibrates. I took it in again and they couldn't find anything wrong. I asked the dealer to pull the rear differential cover to make sure everything was within specs and they refused to do it under warranty and wants to charge me. There are many others having this same problem, you can feel the vibration in the floor, you can see the passenger seat shake, and see bottle of water shake in the center console. I will be making another appointment for this issue. This issue occurs at highway speed.

My 2014 Ram 2500 shakes between 64mph and 76mph violently. Ram knows there is a problem but calls it a characteristic of a hd truck. I am in the tire business and have tried everything to rectify it. I know at least three Chrysler service managers who are being told to act like its normal. I am fed up with car manufacturers taking advantage of people.

TPMS does not allow setting tire pressures to the recommended tire setting from the tire manufacturer without triggering warning light and nag screen on startup. Constant warning light and nag screen correction will lead to driver complacency, negating the purpose of TPMS alerting the driver to a potential problem with the tires. TPMS required over inflation results in potential loss of vehicle control due to loss of traction. Abnormal tire wear due to tire over inflation increases risk of hydroplaning and loss of control of vehicle. Ram customer service has been contacted and confirmed that this problem is systemic, by design, and can not be corrected at present time. Potential fix is to reprogram BCM, allowing dealers to reset TPMS to appropriate setting for tires and actual load with appropriate documentation.

The tire pressure sensor will not go off and keeps blinking "low tire pressure. I have made seven attempts to get this resolved. I was told by the dealer I bought the truck from last night that there is no more he can do. They over inflated the tires to 80 psi to make the sensor go off but the tires are only rated for 65psi max. This over inflation had voided the tire warranty from the tire manufacturer. This could also result in a tire blow out and accident which could cause death to me, my family or passengers. I need to know how to get this problem resolved before anyone gets hut or killed.
