While driving on an interstate, the air suspension failed. The front of the vehicle dropped to the stop bumpers. Then there was a message that read: Immediately air suspension repair/ service required. The front began to raise up and then another message. Air suspension cooling down please wait. Finally the front and rear of the vehicle dropped to the bump stop (safe mode). The air compressor cracked, releasing all the nitrogen. Dealership said they have had a lot of problems with Dodge Ram air suspension.

While working under the truck the air suspension failed causing the truck to drop. I have also been driving the truck and for no apparent reason the front or rear drivers air bag deflates almost causing me to lose control. I spoke with the dealer who stated with the cold weather there are multiple issues with the 2013 and 2014 Ram air suspension failing. He also stated that there was a newer compressor installed in newer trucks along with better components that solved the issue. I have approximately 72000 miles on the truck with a repeated air suspension failure in the 45days I have owned the vehicle.

Dodge Ram 1500 strut - front are leaking after just 3 years-this was found during my penna state inspection.

The passenger side front wheel bearing was iniquitously greased at time of manufacture, causing failure without warning, and the front wheel came off, damaging the upper and lower control arms, break caliper, rotor, hub and wheel assembly, causing the truck to go out of control with no breaks. I have observed similar complaints on makeitsafer.com, this is a lie safety issue and could have caused a fatal accident had this happened on the highway. Fortuitously it happened on a city street at 35 mph, with no warning

Looks like my 2013 Ram 1500 express with 80,000 on it has bad left front bearings. It has a lot of movement when moving the tire top to bottom. And makes a noise when driving like something's rattling. There should be a recall on this since it's too soon for something like to happen. I'm very disappointed. I have owned nothing but Dodge. And this Ram which is made now by Fiat. Never had any problems before until now.

While slowly backing down the driveway of my home and turning into the street, I heard a loud bang which seemed to come from the front of the vehicle. I proceeded to put the vehicle into drive and slowly drove the truck back into driveway when at that time the right front tire broke away from the vehicle. The right lower control arm had broke in half where it was attached to the ball joint. After inspecting the broken part I noticed an abnormality and concluded there was a manufacturing (casting) defect at the factory which compromised the integrity of the part.this was also concluded by the Ram dealer where I had the vehicle inspected and repaired. Part was returned to Chrysler for evaluation.

Driving on freeway at about 65 mph vehicle began pulling to the left was able to correct but then noticed the front end appeared to be low. When I stopped I noticed the front end wheel wells were all most on top of the tires. After I restarted the vehicle there was no warning light but I cycled though the messages and saw a message that said service air suspension immediately. Attempted to raise the vehicle using air suspension buttons to raise the front end but it did not function. The failure of suspension components at highway speed could result in loss of control. I have scheduled service with the dealer but they could not get an appointment for 5 days. After reviewing several Ram vehicle forums I see that there are multiple problems associated with the Ram 4 corner air suspension. Fiat (Chrysler) should fix these issues as suspension failure could result in accidents or worse as these systems age and fail. My vehicle only has 28,000 miles and if it is failing already I can only imagine what the future holds. If Fiat can not do a viable fix they should recall and replace the systems with coil springs.

While traveling on a paved road at about 25-30 mph, right front tire blew out. The tire was separated from inside bead all across top of tread to outside bead. Tire blowing out caused damage to fender. No evidence that the tire struck anything in the road, initial report from a Goodyear rep said that the tire just separated. Nothing was found in the road or vicinity to indicate that the tire struck anything

The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Ram 1500. While driving approximately 55 mph, the vehicle veered to the left. The failure occurred when driving over 45 mph. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and independent mechanic on numerous occasions. A front wheel alignment was performed twice. In addition, the front set of tires were replaced four times due to the failure. The failure persisted after the repairs. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 18,000.

There is a loud "click" noise inside of the front drivers side wheel. It occurs when the vehicle has the wheel completely turned to one direction which makes me believe it's steering or something inside the suspension. It was told to me at the dealership that it was a ball joint, which was replaced and it still happened again.

While vehicle was in park and lowering the four corner suspension system to entry/exit mode, an extremely loud pussst (like disconnecting an air tool from an compressed air tank). This caused the driver/passenger to jump and and pets to bolt into the driver/passenger seat. My concern is this may happen while the vehicle is in motion at a high rate speed and cause the driver to become distracted and cause an accident. Several posts to forums from Jeep owners have experienced smililar issues in their Chrysler made vehicles with air suspension.
