“Airbag clock spring has caused my airbag light to illuminate every time the steering wheel is turned there is clicking as well. There has been no reason my airbag lights should be illuminated.”
NHTSA complaint #11732751, filed 2026-04“On Feb 3, 2026, I purchased a used 2023 Ram 2500 with ~40,107 miles from a large national used car dealer for ~$46,000. I drove the vehicle with my son as a passenger. On Feb 4, I had it inspected by a third-party shop. Both upper ball joints were worn beyond spec — the wheel moved in and out by hand on the lift, indicating imminent wheel separation risk. All 4 shocks and both front struts were leaking oil. All 4 tires were cupped from prolonged suspension failure. Front brakes near end of life. Estimated repairs: ~$7,000. …”
NHTSA complaint #11715691, filed 2026-02“Vehicle was previously serviced under NHTSA Campaign 23V799000 (FCA Recall B2A/D5A) for the Steering Column Control Module (SCCM). The remedy has failed. The multifunction stalk continues to exhibit the exact defect: high beams inadvertently activate when using turn signals, and the self-canceling feature fails. The software flash did not resolve the issue, and the physical module has not been replaced, creating an active nighttime driving hazard.”
