I have a 2014 dodge ram 1500 laramie limited with the air suspension option. I bought it 11 months ago. It was winter when i bought it, and on the test drive, i attempted to adjust the suspension level and immediately got the warning message that the air suspension needed to be serviced. They took it into their service bay and replaced the fuse, which temporarily resolved the issue. As the weather remained cold,…

Air suspension system failed. The issue happens at random and can be stationary or traveling at highway speeds. All air is emptied from the system causing the vehicle to bounce around uncontrollably at highway speeds. The frame of the truck will be resting on the axle directly. I took the truck to the ram dealer for repair and after several attempts, changing out serval components they can not figure out why the…

Suspension system (air bags) go out. The system completely shuts down and truck will hit the road (even flat new road) really hard with any bump. Usually it starts with one side the driver back side and eventually both air bags go out. Is very dangerous because if a little bump can manage to move my steering, a big pot hole can make my whole truck changes lanes. The system detects the malfunction after 3 uses and…

The incident happened while i was driving home on i40 in amarillo texas. I was doing 75 mph and my truck lowered all the way to the entry exit setting on the air ride suspension. I had literally no suspension. As i was trying to slow down and trying to pull over i hit a bump in the road. My truck literally bounced like a low rider and my head hit the ceiling. I lost control when the front wheels hit the ground and…

Air suspension will freeze up in negative temperatures. When this happens while driving truck over bumps, causes vehicle to lose stability/traction on the road, especially on icy roads - causing high risk for an accident.

The air ride suspension in all of these trucks are failing in canadian cold climates. My truck is consistently riding on the bump stops when it's cold out causing a very rough ride that is not good for the vehicle or the passengers. Let alone the control of the vehicle is diminished with zero suspension. When it gets cold (-15 or so) i walk outside to see my trucks front end all the way lowered with the rear still…

Air ride suspension froze up when temps went below zero. Air ride drops to bump stops while driving causing hazardous driving conditions,which has happened to us while hundreds of miles from home. With no suspension hitting any type of bumps causes the vehicle to bounce any direction and very difficult to control, and is hard on the back. It will rise and act properly then just drop to bump stops in a short time…

This truck has the optional air suspension, which will not function in cold weather. The compressor and lines get polluted with moisture which freezes, causing the pump to not work and control valves to stick. The result is the truck has no suspension whatsoever. Warming the truck up in the shop restores functionality temporarily. The dealership and fca itself will only replace components, which does not remedy the…

It is 3.22.19, since jan 4th 2019 we have had 4 new compressors installed and we just got our truck back after 1 month of not having it and it failed again for the 5th time after driving it 15 miles. We are completely disappointed in the design of the air ride suspension in this truck. We are now at a loss because we have not had our truck for 3 months and still making payments on it…

Air suspension fails in cold weather, sometimes turns off traction control and provides a rough ride in ice and snow, making the vehicle less safe. This occurs in all types of driving and has been a problem since i bought it.

The factory "air ride" suspension fails in cold weather. The air bags completely deflate, leaving the vehicle with no suspension. Losing all suspension ability while driving is a serious risk to life. Encountering small potholes or icy roads without suspension increases the likelihood of wrecks. The lowering of the suspension changes the steering geometry required to properly steer a vehicle on the roads. Camber,…

My ram 1500 began having issues with the air ride suspension in the winter of 2017 and finally started to where it wouldn't raise back up when it was cold. I had the entire compressor replaced january or february of 2018. Now in november of 2018 i'm having the same issues again. The compressor is making a weird noise as well as the driver side suspension sounds like it's rubbing or something not good. It only does…

I live in northern minnesota. The air suspension began having problems the first winter i owned the truck. The suspension would not operate properly during negative temperatures. I brought it in to get serviced several times, and i was told it is normal during negative temperatures. This past winter, the 40 amp fuse for the suspension started blowing. It has now blown three times this winter, and the last two times…
