I bought my 2015 Ram 1500 on November 27, 2017. The truck looked as though it had been very well maintained and taken care of. The first or second week in December a check engine light came on as I was pulling in my neighborhood. It turned out to be a fuel pump sensor which the dealership replaced. Now after a month and a half later, another check engine light has came on while parking at a restaurant. 3 codes have shown up for this cel. They are P26ab, P26A7, and P2681. These codes have something to do with the engine coolant bypass valve control. After only an hour of sitting in my driveway the following day there was a huge rainbow colored leak on the asphalt and fluid settling and dripping from the bottom of the transmission. I have taken very good care of this truck since I purchased it. It is just as clean as the day I took it off the lot. I am worried that there is something seriously wrong with this truck now and that the dealership will try and take advantage of me and the fact that the warranty was only for 30 days because when I purchased it the vehicle was used and had 72000 miles on it. This is my first Dodge Ram truck I have ever owned and so far I am very disappointed in the reliability. I will be taking it to the dealership one day this week when I can get off of work. Hopefully they don't try to "pull one over" on me. Attached is the leak in my driveway after an hour of being parked.

When in motion, check engine light illuminates with "check electronic throttle control" message. Vehicle enters "limp" mode and won't accelerate properly becoming a hazard to other traffic. The obd code received is P0299 - turbo underboost. This is a recurring issue.

- Cranberry Township, PA, USA

Electronic throttle control malfunction(lightning bolt), low power. Was told 1.5 weeks for appointment. 1 week later 'dpf 100% full, see dealer'. dealer did forced regen, cleared codes, back to normal. I never received any warnings about dpf becoming full. No early regen notification.

- Drums, PA, USA

P0299 under boost codes. After being thrown into limp mode and almost getting me and my family killed I got my Dodge ecodiesel to the dealership. Said its a software issue and there is no fix. Was told to that its fine after they just cleared the engine light. Great customer service!! just send them back out in the death trap.

Exhaust fumes fill cabin: 2015 4X4 ecodiesel. When driving in slow traffic speeds of less than 30 mph or stopped, the cabin becomes filled with exhaust fumes. This appears to be coming in through the ventilation system, as it is quite noticeable when it is blowing directly in your face. It has become progressively worse and stronger over time. While the truck is moving at normal highway speeds it is not noticed, or at least as compared to what is noticed when at lower speeds or when stopped. The fumes continue to increase and become quite heavy while operating at the slower speeds or stopped. This issue has been addressed in a recall (R04) for 2014 and 2015 Ram 4X2 ecodiesels but not in Ram 4X4 ecodiesels as of 10/5/17.

To whom it may concern, I own a 2015 Ram 1500 big horn crew cab with 8 speed (8hp70) transmission. The truck intermitently issues check engine light and goes away a few times through out the day and or will stay off. Obdii code P1D8C is stored currently in the car. This is the code that says (parking prawl selonoid in open position) this is close if not the same issue in 8hp70 transmission in other vehicles of other years that have been recalled. This is a safety issue because one day I wouldn't know if the truck is actually in park mechanically or not. Currently I have not seen a recall for my current year model truck but bringing it to your attention as there are same or similar recalls for the same transmission in other models. Check engine light has been on when in motion and also when parked, sometimes it'll go away both while moving or parked.

I own a 2015 Dodge ecodiesel and it has now actually shut down while driving twice, both times placing us in great danger. The first time my husband was driving on the highway. We took it to the dealership and they had to call in their "head engineers" to figure out the problem. After several days, they finally identified that the truck needed many (I think they quoted around 20) software updates. However, we never got notice that the truck needed these updates and/or that if it didn't get these updates that it could just stop working at any time. The second time that this happened, I was driving the truck later at night (away from home) with 2 small children in the car and the truck shut down before I was able to find somewhere to pull over on a county road with no shoulder. We recently had a family killed in collin county due to a vehicle slowing and a driver behind colliding into the vehicle at a high rate of speed, so you can see how this has me even more terrified that we have a vehicle that does this without our control. I am appalled that Dodge is able to put a vehicle on the road that can just shut down for no good reason putting people in grave danger. The check engine light is now on in the truck despite it seemingly working okay, for now. We took it to the dealership again and they are now saying that because we are slightly over miles that the warranty may not cover the fix to whatever is all of the sudden wrong with a 2 year old vehicle. Again, how is Dodge allowed to use this software that requires updates (even though they do not notify drivers) that is actually shutting down vehicles" what is the software actually doing"I feel that Dodge should provide a guarantee that this truck will never do this again, but I don't know how that is even possible. I would like answers from Dodge asap.

While driving the truck there was a thump sound which cause the truck to stall causing truck to slow down instantlay. However it does this for a few seconds then it will accelerate and continue on drliving. This has happened several times even after taking it to the dealership. They said they can't find anything wrong but it has no certain speed that it will do it. It just happens randomly with no specific speed when it happens. It happened on the interstate and on a regular highway road there was a difference in speed each time.

- Columbia, SC, USA

Has stalled while driving 2 times in the last week. The first time the radio and dash cluster stopped working then the truck engine shut off doing 80 down the highway. The second time it was just the engine that shut off doing 60 mph on a 2 lane road

Eco diesel engine has been serviced three times for "electronic throttle control" failure. Once idiot light comes on truck loses all power. Currently in dealership to be serviced and I'm being told that Chrysler is unaware of a current fix. The first time in was told that a hose had to be replaced. Second time that it was a programming update, now they don't know.

April 14, 2017 my husband was heading East on I-20 in the tyler, Texas area located in smith county Texas.approaching his turn off at hwy 14. When exiting on the ramp he noticed smoke coming from the back of the truck. He looked and the service engine light was on and he began losing power. He was able to pull to a large parking area away from others. He got out of the vehicle and approached the hood when he noticed flames coming from the engine. He backed away from the vehicle at that time and called 911. Our vehicle is not a total loss. Last fall we had to replace the entire fuel system $6500 when the vehicle had less than 20,000 miles on it. Now at little over 30,000 miles it's a total loss. I have contacted chrsyler and they are suppose to send inspectors to see if they can determine the cause. Insurance inspectors are also coming this week too. I've read a lot of negatives for this truck and saw there was a recall for 4X2's for wiring issues that could short and cause a fire. Our truck was a lone star 4X4 and not under this recall. I think these vehicles need to be looked at harder!! too many issues from too many owners.

Please see complaint I sent to Chrysler with documents. Your list before only let me select 4 topics that I was having issues with.

- Arvada, CO, USA

While pulling into traffic the truck suddenly stopped without any warning, I lost my power steering, power brakes as well as the ability to have power to the engine. I tried to start the diesel engine, but the starter just tried starting it for approx. 20 seconds, I did not have the ability to turn starter off since it is a push button start and it finally timed out. I waited approx 5 min. And was able to get it restarted, the check engine light came on and I drove it to the dealer. The mileage was approx. 36,100 miles. I had to keep my fingers crossed hoping it would not die on me as I drove about 5 miles to the dealer. My greatest concern is the safety issue of complete loss of power and what may happen if you were on a hill or going around a sharp turn where the steering and brakes systems would not operate properly. My truck has an ecodiesel engine. The dealer told me the truck ha dmultiple problem codes on the computer analysis. They told me the problem was caused by loose pins in a connector and a loose ground wire. I never had any problem like this and the suddenness of this problem was scary.

At 24300 miles the engine began vibrating very hard and then quit. After checking the oil, it was good, I crept the truck to a convenience store and called aaa. Towed vehicle to nearest Chrysler dealership. They did not have enough certified techs to fix my truck without it being at dealer for 2 months. Service mgr called around and found a dealer who could repair truck. Metal pieces including bearings were found in the oil pan. Chrysler replaced the engine under warranty. No explanation was given and when asked if the problem has been fixed on the new engine received no answer. I do not know what caused the engine failer or whether Ram has fixed this ever occurring again.

Event: On September 7th at approximately 07:16pm my wife and I were driving on hwy 380 at milepost 44 in a remote part of New Mexico between roswell and san antonio. Our speed was approximately 70 mph. We had been traveling for 6 days and approximately 2000 miles between vancouver, wa and the location the engine failed. The engine on my 2015 Ram ecodiesel began making a groaning sound. No warning lights appeared on my dash and within minutes the sound became louder and the engine was having difficulty. Finally, there was a loud "bang" and the engine lost power. Again, no warning lights and no indication of what was happening. Once the car rolled to a stop a "low oil pressure" light finally appeared on the panel. The truck was inoperable and came to a rest impeding traffic.I pulled the oil dipstick and took three readings and the oil reservoir was full. We pushed the uconnect "assist" button and a tow truck was summoned. We were towed to Sierra blanca Ram dealership in ruidoso, New Mexico. After the dealership inspected the engine they discovered the number 5 cylinder had exploded and cracked the engine block in the process. The mechanic told us the engine would need to be replaced. The dealership called Chrysler warranty and as of 09.17.16 we still have no answer from Chrysler on whether they will approve a new engine. The mechanic has told me several times over the past week that Chrysler will not approve replacement of a new engine until several more "pictures and documentation" can be submitted. This, despite the dealership recommendation that we need a full engine replacement immediately and there is no other option than a full engine replacement.
