I have tried many times to get these numerous safety recall complied with and get no follow up from my local dealer! I took it in for a scheduled appointment and was told parts were on order. It's been far to long, i have checked in numerous times and get no help. Please find a place that can make my vehicle safe or make them buy it back from me! I don't want to die, or kill an innocent family! *dt*jb

Have 2016 ram truck, jumps out of gear hits a fence. Take it to a dealer they admit there is a recall. They repair the recall and tell me to call fca customer support [redacted] i speak with quintin and he tells me since the dealer already replaced the part, they can not confirm that is why my truck rolled into a fence. And denied the body repairs. I ask for documentation that states why they are refusing to repair…

Not sure if this is the right place for this but figured it was a start. I have a 2016 ram 2500 with the cummins diesel. Every so often the truck leaks fumes into the cab of the truck. I have read on many forums online it seems to be a common problem not only with the 1500 eco truck but with the bigger 2500,3500 trucks. Ram says there is no problems from what i have read but it seems to me that this is a serious…

Pulled out of a side road making a left onto main roadway (roadway was damp after a rain storm) traction control light flashed and throttle pedal became inoperative. I received a service electric throttle message on the dash. I was without any throttle control for about two minutes and in that time was almost rear ended twice.

This has caused the…

I recently received a notice of recall on my truck, regarding the potential for the water pump to fail, causing an engine compartment fire. However, there is currently no fix for the problem. I am very concerned because, not only do i drive it every day to work, it is our traveling truck and we use it to haul our large 5th wheel trailer. The potential for an engine compartment fire to occur while driving, or while…

Dead accelerator pedal. If driving with steady pedal and let up on accelerator pedal and then step back on the accurate, the truck doesn't move/no response for 5-10 seconds, then the truck speeds off. Happens numerous times. Also if at a stop and need to have full power to get across a 4 lane highway/or make a rapid left turn, you are a sitting duck because the pedal doesn't respond.

I feel i my complain is on par with so many others with a newer ram diesel. The dead pedal. I have nearly been hit more than 5 times now on several....several occasions due to no immediate acceleration at a light crossing an intersection, or going on the highway, switching lanes and trying to accelerate again. The delay in throttle response is the worst i have ever seen in a vehicle. My wife refuse to drive my "new"…

Ram dropped the ball with the throttle delay (dead pedal) from a stop or slow speed! 3 month old truck, now in nearly 2 accidents just trying to merge onto highway due to throttle delay while my wife and 4 kids were in the truck. 100% disappointed - fix or lemon law my vehicle.

Factory integrated trailer brake controller is unable to safety stop a 10,000 lb trailer. Have tried multiple different trailers with this truck and same results. Truck cannot safety stop the truck and trailer combination safely, the trailer pushes the combination through a stoplight. Even with trailer brake settings set at the max, still does not safely stop the vehicle. Have been to dealer with this issue, state…

This is a big safety concern. My 2016 ram has major throttle delay. It becomes a safety concern when i'm pulling out into traffic, let off the accelerator and get back on it and it waits 1.5 to 2 seconds before the computer receives the command to give throttle. I have had one instance where i was proceeding to change lanes on the interstate and give it throttle but it didn't respond and then i was a sitting duck…

Dead throttle response. There is a serious lag in the throttle when ,starting from a dead start,or when you back off on the throttle and then press the accelerator. There is a definite dead spot,and very dangerous while in traffic. The truck has been like this since new
