Air suspension would fail frequently in frigid temperatures. First occurred winter of 2016.was a regular occurrence until receiving a software update. Dealer told me the problem was a result of a software design flaw in the air suspension control module. They updated the software on 2-15-2019 (42,000 miles) and somehow felt justified charging me $90. Chrysler sent a service bulletin (08-051-16) to the dealers on…

The air suspension on my ram eco diesel 2015 pickup has failed. The vehicle was in motion when the suspension failed. I had to drive 25 mph on the highway just to get it back to town. This happened last winter also and was repaired under warranty. For 2 weeks the truck sat while ram tried to figure out what to do. The truck can not softly be driven until fixed. Ram is aware of this issue and knows that the cold…

In cold weather the air ride suspension stops working. While sitting or driving the air bags lose all air pressure and drops all the way down to the bump stops. I am unsure exactly what is causing the exact problem but it is extremely unsafe because the truck bounces all over the road every bump you hit. I called my dealer and he said he has four trucks in his shop at the moment with the same problem. This needs to…

When below 20 degrees the air suspension loses its ability to maintain proper ride height. Sometimes the truck will sit nose down, rear down, or all but one corner down. Usually after sitting outside in the colder temps is when the truck starts to do this however once it has done so while moving at approximately 20 mph. When trying to inflate the air bags the truck typically blows the 40a fuse controlling the air…

My vehicle has had a vibration at highway speeds between 65-75 mph since i purchased it. The vibration is annoying and at times i've had to slow down to reduce the vibration which i feel could become unsafe. The vehicle rides smoother than any other pickup i've ever owned at lower speeds, my expectations are for it to ride the same way at any speed. The vibration seems to be coming from the rear of the truck and can…
