Example complaints

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

“Truck hits bumps and it like slides all over the road. And I have a clunking noise on passenger side don't know what it's from. Dealer looked couldn't find out what it was. I was on the highway and hit a bump and almost lost control. That's how bad it moves. My wheel bearings seem ok, and my tie rod ends so not sure if shocks could cause crazy movement from bumps or not.”

“Air ride suspension fails in weather conditions below freezing. The truck loses all air ride functions and lowers all the way down to the bump stops. I was driving home from the lake when it started to drop. It is -10 degrees fahrenheit. Within 5 miles my truck had lost all suspension and was sitting on the frame. It made the truck impossible to drive and I did not feel safe at all. I ended up going 10 miles per hour until I made it home.”

“I live in minnesota so obviously its a cold climate. My dodge rebel continually freezes in the downward position making driving it very difficult and a huge safety concern. Sometimes the issue happens while driving. Is there a recall? There definitely should be.”

“The factory air ride suspension has failed due to cold weather and handling at highway speeds is marginal. I have reported to the dealer but the service manager tells me this is a known problem and there isn't a fix”

NHTSA complaint #11184291, filed 2019-03, 83,000 miles

“Faulty air suspension, this is a very, very common issue in Ram trucks. Driver front went down, then back end. The light came on to fix air suspension. Its very dangerous to drive with suspension down. The fact that there are thousands of trucks out there with this issue and no recall is really uncalled for. They continue to fail several times over and over again. If there's no recall I would have to imagine there will be a class action law suit. Every mechanic I've talked to is in disbelief that this issue has not been addressed.”
