Less than 100k miles, 4 issues started, 1-fuel level sensor 2- service trailer brake system 3- anti lock brakes system - cruse control does not work.

Truck when placed in park has rolled away from me into the roadway on more then5 occasions. Truck was parked and the parking break was in-gauged t, keys where not in the vehicle and this occurred more then 5 minutes after the truck was parked.

I am filing a safety complaint for complete brake failure on a 2014 ram 1500. This failure is a low brake pedal condition with total loss of brakes. This is an intermittent condition at 5-50 MPH . The vehicle was purchased new in september 2014, the first failure was found in may 2017 at 56,000 miles, this is a one owner vehicle. The vehicle was repaired at the ram dealer, henry brown automotive group, in casa grande arizona. The ram dealer determined the brake failure was caused by a faulty brake booster and master cylinder. The installation of a new brake booster and master cylinder resolved the problem. No safety recall has been issued through ram.
Tipm (totally integrated power module) failure. Dealership fails to honor vehicle warranty and is not replacing the defective part under full bumper warranty. This 1 part causes many issues to the entire vehicle and major road safety issues. I have tried many attempts with dealer and manufacturer directly to have this warranty part repaired and they fail to honor such repairs. I see online that this exact part has many known issues and problems for many similar people. This 1 part affects all problems above because all these parts are electrically controlled.
Water leakin from outside to inside cab from cad vent located behind rear seat. Water pools under rear seat. Service air bag system shows on display ever sense dealer serviced vehicle for a recall on airbags ABS often on a place itself on the freeway at freeway speeds of anywhere from 60 to 70 miles an hour and drops my vehicle speed down to about 40 to 45.
The trucked rolled down my driveway while in park with parking break engaged.

Me and my family (my wife & 2 kids: my oldest is 7 & my youngest is 3) were on a fishing trip. When returning to the boat launch, I backed my boat trailer into the water with my truck. The back tires of my truck are about 2 feet away from the water. I put my truck in park and set my emergency brake. My wife and youngest son got into the truck and began to buckle their seat belts as I set my boat onto the trailer. My oldest stayed on the land. After about 5 minutes of my truck motor running, while still in park, and with the emergency brake on. My wife, who is sitting in the passenger seat, hears somewhat of a pop noise and my truck starts backing into the water. My wife and youngest son are now racing to get out of their seat belts as the truck is starting to slowly sink. Once my wife grabs our son and sits him by her, I am able to get to the door they are by and I am pulling on the door, in water that is up to my chin deep, as she is kicking the door and holding the handle of the door. The door opens and I grab my son and wife and we swam to the boat launch. It is unknown of where the pop noise came from. My wife said it sounded like the emergency brake was released. My tragedy is still under investigation. I have no records as of yet like my police report. It is still being handled with the police department. As of pictures, I have one that I am trying to get from the guy who came tow my truck. I will have all these documents within the next few days.
Left front brake worn pads / causing rotor damage at ~30,000 miles. Design issue that no warning system exist on pad worn out. On inspection right front also affected but not completely worn out. A method or system should exist to warn driver to replace pads. Dealer treats it as normal wear and tear - I believe it is part of the federal safety agency #16v168000 potentially using same parts from same supplier and should be a recall issue. Dealer is big o dodge in greenville sc. This vehicle had a large number of recalls already and once for wrong differential installed was out of service for longer than 3 weeks. I believe this is a lemon vehicle and should be a buy back from the dealer.
Numerous electrical problems, blowing fuses, blowing light bulbs, and radio issues. I had to replace three fuses and have only had the brand new vehicle despite it was on the dealers lot with 5 miles on it when I test drove it. In a years time I have had to replace one head light build, one right brake tail light bulb. Had to replace the three brake light due to leaking. I am getting ready to have the third radio replaced by dealer. The dealer has had to also work on the rear window twice which was leaking severally, and the dealer has also replaced the shark fin satellite antenna once. I am also starting to see driver's side window moving roughly not smooth as others three windows still are smooth operation. I have also had five recalls serviced and assumed to have been fixed or maybe they are causing these or other issues!
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 dodge ram 1500. While driving approximately 50 MPH, the brakes engaged independently without warning. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
While driving to work on a smooth straight road, the emergency information screen in my gauge cluster started flashing and stated "service power steering" "service electronic brake system" "service electronic brake controller" "service transmission" it also stated to not shift to park as shifting may become inoperable once stopped. My power steering was gone, my gas pedal was inoperable and braking was very weak. I had to muscle the truck to the side of the road and slowly come to a stop and shifted into park. I turned the key fob to off and let it sit for a few minutes. When I tried to restart the vehicle it would not even attempt to turn over. Now, my key fob was also stuck in the ignition and would not turn to the off position to remove the key. I called chrysler roadside assistance and sat on hold for 55 minutes before the first person answered the phone. After 10-15 min we had a tow truck set up but that wouldn't be there for another 75 minutes. So from the time I called to when the tow truck actually arrived it was almost 2.5 hours! Good thing it wasn't the middle of winter. They replaced the ignition module. That wasn't the problem. Then they thought it was the bcm. That didn't work as they now "only have communication with half of the vehicle". I'm still not sure what that means but that's where we are at day 7. I do not want this vehicle back. I do not feel safe driving it if the service department has no idea how to properly fix it or even know if they have properly fixed it with their guess and check methods. If I had been traveling at higher speeds or pulling a trailer when this happened, the outcome could have been disasterous! Or even worse if my wife had been driving in 4wd and lost power steering there is no way she could have pulled the vehicle over safely. Huge safety concern that I want no part of. This is on top of the 5+ recalls.
On 13 may I was coming to a metered light when a lane splitter caused me to hard brake to avoid the splitter. My truck, with no prompting from me shut off. I was nearly rear ended by a semi behind me. On 6 june I was coming to a light and nearly stopped and my truck shut off. On 7 july I was coming to a stop at a stop light and my truck shut off. Each time this happens the truck turns off, the turn dial flashes "p" (as it is currently in d). I put the truck in p, turn the ignition back on, place turn dial into d and drive. Each time carl burger dodge says that my truck doesnt "code" and they cant recreate the issue. I provided them with video's of what happens that I found on youtube and thats when they started a "star" case with chrysler main. My chrysler customer care assistance admits there is an issue saying "the tech's are working on it" but then says the best they can do is "give me 3 free years of oil changes". I am a disabled veteran and I have reached lemon law status but carl burger is not doing anything and chrysler says its carl burgers responsibility to take my truck back but carl burger says its chryslers. This truck is going to get me killed. There is another reported case in chula vista, ca and chrysler also gave them 3 free years of oil changes just like they did with me. Your recall didnt include this year/make and model and it cant just be my truck, there is a dodge forumn that has this issue on the entire thread but since no customers vehicles "code" chrysler is keeping this quiet, I think they really have no idea what it is. Carl burger says they cant keep taking my truck apart but "we believe you". Please look into this.
Won't brake properly and have no traction control both ABS and traction lights stay on..transmission sometimes don't shift properly for a new vehicle.
