Air suspension system fails intermittently. If it fails while driving, the vehicle has virtually no suspension and is unsafe to handle. It has failed at highway speeds, and rapidly deflated. When hitting bumps or anything in the road that is normally easily traversed, the vehicle will bounce and or skid, sometimes uncontrollably. The vehicle has been at the dealer multiple times for this issue, and it has not been solved. Dealer claims they can't find a problem due to their diagnostics not showing a fault, but the vehicle has failed right in front of the service manager! Currently they have had the vehicle for going on three (3) weeks, and the failure has not been fixed. When the system fails, there are multiple alerts present in the vehicle information center on the dash, but sometimes these do not appear until sometime AFTER the failure, and at highway speeds this does not help. My truck is absolutely available for inspection. A quick internet search reveals this is a very common issue, well known to Chrysler. Dealers do not know how to fix it, and refuse to replace parts unless they test as failed, which these generally do not. This is a dangerous situation, and it is known. Something should be done about it.

Vehicles air suspension freezes in colder weather causing the suspension to lock up. Just purchased this vehicle in August (warm weather) first time it happen was the first below 35? weather and almost bounced us off the road on the highway. Many complaints about this on line for 4th generation 1500's. We talked to dodge and they gaslighted the issue and told me is a recall comes up they will reimburse any issues caused by this. They CAN NOT reimburse a life if it bounces us off the road and causes a accident!! It's already caused another issue with either the cv boot or axel which were taking it tomorrow to be looked at. This is EXTREMELY unsafe and could definitely cause a accident!!!!

The contact stated that whenever the weather was cold while driving, the vehicle would bounce while the air suspension defect warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the air compressor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired, and the failure would recur whenever the weather was cold. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Airbag suspension fails when the compressor fails causing a fuse to blow and loose all air ride suspension. The ride leaves you feeling terribly unsafe hoping you can make it home in one piece. Its all over the web about this issue. Canada has a class action lawsuit filed. There are service bulletins but we need a recall with a permanent fix. It costs over 3000 with no guarantees to be fixed if you live in cold weather. internet information...........PLEASE READ............ If the outside temperature dips below freezing, there's a good chance Ram's air suspension will stop working. That's a big deal for people who live in places that have, oh what's it called... WINTER. When the air suspension stops working, it doesn't fail gracefully. It delegates the task of absorbing bumps and keeping your vehicle safely upright to four deflated rubber bags. And as you might imagine the ride quality sucks. That can also affect steering control and make the entire experience miserable. Owners will stop using their very expensive trucks when it gets too cold outside because the alternative is to feel drunk or queezy after the ride.

Air suspension failed while going 78mph, causing the vehicle to lower. With the vehicle lowered, the slightest bump can cause loss of control. I hit a small rise (present after a bridge) and the vehicle slid sideways. Luckily there were no other vehicles nearby and I was able to pull over to the side of the road (mainly due to the fact that I am a very experienced driver). This issue is known by Dodge and a simple Google search shows thousands of complaints about it. These issue could have eaisly caused an accident, injury or death.

The Air Suspension System on my 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 4 X4 has stalled or has currently frozen and this makes it extremely difficult to steer the vehicle. Even at low speeds 25-45 mph it leaves the pavement when crossing the slightest pavement imperfections. The Highways of Louisiana and Texas are filled with imperfections and it is a horrifying experience to drive this vehicle in this condition. I have taken it to several different respected mechanics, and many are the most recommended and it's always the same. "Dodge needs to have their butts kicked for putting this system in a small truck such as this." They warns me, 'it will only grow worse as the truck gets older.' When driving on the Interstate (I-20) in Louisiana and Texas the truck leaves the ground whenever I pass over a dip, bump or a bridge. This is scary when I am driving along beside an 18 Wheeler. Crossing Railroad Tracks is so distressing and uncomfortable needless to say, It feels like the truck is falling apart. I am afraid for my own safety, but I must drive the 35 miles one way to work five days a week. I have replaced the pump, but now the pump is pumping, but it appears to be something else. The local Dealerships have a reputation of ripping people off, and when I call to inquire or complain I only get a Salesmen who can help by assisting me to trade it in. At this point, with vehicle prices skyrocketing I just this dealership should sale vehicles worth the money they get. Dodge really needs to fix this problem. I have looked on YouTube and noticed this is a very common problem, and in every video the owners are stating how dangerous these vehicles are when the system goes out. It is life threatening to simple drive this vehicle to work in order to make a living to support my family.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the suspension failed, and the vehicle became lowered. While driving over a bump in the road the suspension independently lowered, and the vehicle became uncontrollable. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to raise up. A message on the display stated that the vehicle was unable to achieve ride height. The vehicle was towed several times to the local dealer however, the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified however, no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

The air suspension randomly stops working. I purchased truck less then a year ago. I figured it was due to the cold weather we get in Colorado. However I drove the truck to Florida. Halfway there the suspension stops working. Makes a very bumpy ride, and very uncomfortable and painful. Also I managed to get pulled over in dallas and accused of a dui because I was unable to maintain a lane. Due to the suspension being messed up. Is there a fix for this

Air ride suspension drops to bump stops causing rough ride and lose of control of the vehicle. This is a very serious issue that could have caused serious injury or worse. Very poor design...

My truck vibrates at speeds between 55 -68 mph. I no longer have 4 wheel drive and was told it is my right front differential. They need to replace the entire front end costing me close to $3,000. I have seen this as an issue on Ram and Dodge forums. It seems like if this is an issue with the vehicle there should be some sort of recall. This has been going on for a few years but the 4 wheel drive died last year but due to covid I did not get it fixed because I was working from home. I am now back to work and need to have it repaired. Unfortunately the parts are on back order and at least a month away. I have 121,000 miles and I would hope to drive the vehicle for years to come but in these times $3000 is a difficult bill to take.

The air suspension has not been working properly for well over a year now it intermittently goes down to the bump stops and could cause a serious injury to persons in other vehicles plus my own because any bump that your hit cause the truck to bounced losing traction with the road and that even means when slowing down the traction control ABS bricks in and cause the wheels to not lock up, , also the truck can't hold the load if and in the bed cussing unsafe handling around corners and threw traffic

I bought this truck used several years ago. The air suspension on it fails randomly, especially in cold weather. I just had the air compressor replaced in it and it failed again within a week. It happens most often when stationary, but I have had it fail on the highway when going 65-70 mph. Normally the rear drivers side falls to entry exit level and other corners stay up, but I have had several combinations of front and rear corners fail.

Air suspension will stop working while traveling and you lose all suspension vehicle will start to bounce even on smith roads which causes truck to wander in all directions and gives another warning so you immediately see the results has happened to me 3 times at highway speeds traveling straight

Air suspension fails every few months leaving the truck undriveable. Normal roads can lift the rear tires off the ground and cause loss of control. Parts are expensive to replace and dealerships are not well trained to fix them.

The compressor on the air ride suspension system fails under normal operating conditions causing the vehicle to be out of level while driving, making the vehicle unsafe to drive down the road. This issue can happen at various times. I have experienced this issue when entering and exiting the highway. At highway speeds, the vehicle enters what is called "aero mode." The "aero mode" lowers the body of the truck to achieve better aerodynamics and fuel economy. After slowing from highway speeds, the vehicle returns to normal ride height. With the compressor failure, the vehicle is unable to return to normal ride height.

Drivers side rear airbag goes flat intermittently. This may happen while driving or while parked and not running. The dealership could not find any leaks or problems. When flat, even if compressor is running, it won't refill. It may stay flat for minutes or days, and through many driving cycles then all of a sudden it fills and operates normal. Normal operation may last from a few hours to weeks. Then it does it again. Dealership claims it is the airpump overheating but this doesn't make sense as only one shock goes flat and doesn't respond when the pump is running. Many people report this same problem on this year Dodge Ram truck and have said replacing the compressor and valve body did not fix the problem. One person reported that they had the control module re flashed and it fixed the issue.

Since day one of buying this vehicle it has always been in the shop for air suspension problems sometimes for a few weeks at a time. Seems like no one knows how to diag the system because it was always darts thrown and no problems ever fixed, they have replaced airbags, compressor, charged the system, reprogrammed/calibrated the system and who knows how many fuses! ive gotten air suspension codes left and right with compressor temp codes... the main concern is the way this vehicle drives when it falls on bump stops and changes the camber of the tires ( has ruined a brand new set of tires due to inside tire wear on both front ) tires are screeching while driving down the road, bounces while turning and hitting small bumps... well that just makes you feel like you got in a crash when it throws you around out of seat! thats even at lower speeds around 40-45 mph! I absolutely fear for my life driving this vehicle and at freeway speeds its just playing with the devil. Its only a matter of time before someone is killed by this horrible air suspension system! the problem is no one seems to care... well unless it was their family member.the system was designed to fail when they put a compressor behind the right rear wheel that flings water, snow, salt and everything else on the road right at it and put some thin cover over it and say it " protects " it! I sure hope they do something before someone is killed, because its not fair to me or any other person to have to drive this vehicle and know everyday when going to work that it could be my last or someones else's last! ive given dealers shot after shot year after year, but something needs to be done about this asap
