Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“There seems to be water coming into the cab somewhere. I grabbed the assist handle when getting into the truck, and water started coming out of the screw covers. I don't know where this water is coming from, but I am sure it can travel down into my dash and potentially cause rusting and electrical problems inside my truck where it should not be exposed to water.”

“Air suspension compressor went out. We live in minnesota and upon this happening I talked to the dealer and researched this issue online and it is a non stop issue. The dealer said they fix this same problem all the time but there is no recall. It is a expensive fix that dodge is not covering yet it happens all the time. Please look into this issue.”

“Truck caught fire while driving on highway. No warning signs on dash. Started to slow down then smoke started coming from front of hood as if overheating. I pulled over to emergency lane, turned car off , then popping sound causing truck to go into flames and popping with big explosion and burning rapidly. I was able to get out because I had door already cracked open and ran away from vehicle.”

“One day last week I woke up and my left rear steering wheel control button stopped functioning. (turns the radio station tuning down) also the high mounted reverse lights do not work when in reverse. I also had a blown high mounted rear brake light bulb out which was replaced. Horn works no check engine light. I have not taken it to do to diagnostic cost.”

“My 2015 dodge Ram eco diesel caught fire, while driving on the highway. Its a total loss. I did not receive a recall notice but after research found there was a recall. Chrysler told us it was not their fault. This truck was taken care of like a child, there is no reason for the fire.”
