The vehicle defaults to the entry/exit mode in the air suspension system in cold weather and is undrivable. Dodge is away of the issue and to fix the problem you have to purchase a new air suspension control module for $1100. If this is a known issue that is a factory defect why isn't this a recall?

My ram 1500 air suspension has failed on several occasions, leaving the front end of the truck sagging down on the rubber bump stops. This condition leaves me with no suspension in the front, often when away from home. This condition has left me on the highway with adverse handling characteristics, such as shuddering of the front end. I have had this in the shop at the dealer on several occasions, the first time for…

My truck has the "4-corner air suspension" which was standard on my model. It repeatedly fails when the temperature gets below freezing. It will typically drop the front end very low and sometimes even the rear end. This happens while parked or driving. It is terrifying to drive when this happens - bumps nearly throw you off the road and steering is unpredictable. I cannot find a dealer that is sure they can fix it,…

One time, it happened while driving down the interstate at 75mph, the whole front end dropped to the frame and i almost crashed because i didn't know what was going on right away. It has been happening since i bought the…

I believe our truck should be part of most of the recalls listed fo ram trucks. Our tires are wearing on the outside, they won't fix. The transmission was replaced at twenty some thousands miles, and my wife being the primary driver said that when you come to a complete stop the truck sometimes jumps forward. The rear differential seal was replaced. I'm afraid that we might lose our wheels on the road. There is also…
