My vehicle has tremendous lag when trying to accelerate, but it is not all the time. I never know when pulling out into a road at a left hand turn if i am going to get throttle response or a dead petal. Too many times not i have been stuck with tremendous lag and almost rear ended by vehicles while turning onto a road. This was never an issue until a forced "fix" for a recall on the ecodiesel engine. Upon initial…

Takata recall. I have a 2014 ram 1500 and the fuel sensor went out on it with only 18000 miles. Unfortunately it was past the 3 year warranty coverage so it's not covered by the dealership. Upon research, i have learned this is a common issue reported by many ram owners. I feel that this is a manufacturer defect and i feel it is a a safety threat since you don't know how much gas is in your vehicle. This could lead…

Fca aem recall. Since getting the emissions recall done the truck no longer responds like it did. It is a life safety issue.

I have also lost 5-6 mpg since the update and will no long let my wife drive it to do lack of power to even get moving.

This seems to be a common issue with 2014 ram trucks. The fuel sending unit will go out send an eml code and the fuel gauge will drop down to empty even though there is a full tank. Dodge wants to charge me $1000 to replace this, since i am outside of the oem warranty. This has happened on a number of occasions to me. It happened to my wife and daughter while they were driving my truck and had to stop and top off…

The exhaust manifold continues to leak. I believe it has to do with the exhaust manifold bracket bolts that break. Ram continues to repair with the same poor quality parts.

The fuel gauge dropped to empty and the remaining miles until empty shows as low miles. The fuel sensor failure goes off and on depending on the amount of fuel in the tank but the check engine stays on now. I have read numerous reviews…

Unable to fill gas tank when pumping gas paid the dealership to diagnose the problem to have them say the part is on back order till dec and that this seems to be a major issue . It is a major inconvenience when trying to get gas for the vehicle cause it takes so long to fill tank and need to pump it so slow or it kicks the pump off.

I have 2 issues to report on this vehicle 1) the truck has left us stranded twice and required a ride on a roll back (who knew a little 1/2 ton pickup is too big for most tow trucks). In both cases we had stopped at a traffic light on a slight incline or decline. Then when the light turned we made a right or left turn into a decline or incline and stalled out. The first time it happened i thought it was a clogged…

The sensor on the def tank in the ram 1500 ecodisels is failing. Instead of being able to buy a sensor to replace it ram is making you buy a whole tank to replace the sensor. This has happened to multiple people that i know of and ram still refuses to stand behind their product.

Dpf/def systems causing engine failure. Leveling sensor inside of the d.e.f tank isn't reponding and causing truck to run bad and causing truck to go into limp mode. And there should be a recall on the dpf system
