At 70 - 76 miles per hour the truck starts to vibrate. Had the front drive shaft replaced part number 938-095 10 months ago and it stopped . Here we are 10 months later and it is back.
2014 Ram 1500 transmission complaints
Page 3 of 8: complaints 41 to 70 of 193, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Have noticed a crack in the tail shaft of transfer case. Have never used the 4 wheel drive since I bought it decided to use it & noticed a click that's when I noticed the cracks in transfer case
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 ram 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle made an abnormal noise and hesitated while accelerating from a stop, without warning. The contact also stated that while accelerating at 40 MPH, the vehicle began to hesitate while his foot was on the accelerator, without warning. Due to the failure, the contact pulled into a parking lot and restarted the vehicle after about 30 seconds. The contact had taken the vehicle to three separate chrysler dealers - tallahassee dodge chrysler jeep ram fiat (3987 w tennessee st, tallahassee, fl 32304), lake city chrysler dodge jeep ram (4325 w us hwy 90, lake city, fl 32055), and an unknown chrysler dealer in georgia. Each dealer were unable to duplicate or diagnose the failure. The contact also took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who was also unable to diagnose the failure. Upon investigation, the contact discovered the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v161000 (power train) which he linked to his failure however, the vehicle was not included in the recall. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure and offered no assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 97,000. *bf consumer stated car has been traded in.
Radiator cracked, 6 spark plugs and 2 ignition coils replaced. 1 week later, starter failed. 1 day later engine over heating, replaced radiator cooling fan; next day, starter failed again, and engine declared completely ruined or bad. Entire engine being replaced with rebuilt after 131,300 miles and 10 months of ownership. Fully maintained, but failure unexpected and without warnings.
When turning or coming to a stop, the electronic shifter comes out of gear. The display on the dash tells me to "shift to p to start". There are times where I am able to shift to p then right back to d but other times when I put it to p, I have to turn off the truck then turn it back on in order to go back to d. I have had this happen to me when driving on the city streets mostly but I have had it happen when I was getting ready to merge onto the freeway. I believe it has something to do with the transmission or with the electronic shifter.
My truck makes chirping sounds like a bird when idling.
When accelerating the transmission jerks like it delays going into gear from 2-3 and 3-4 and at highway speed it feels like a little jerking.
Vehicle was registered in park when exiting. Small child got into vehicle, started it, and pulled the shift lever all the way down into drive without needing to press the brake. Vehicle went forward 8 feet into exterior garage corner causing extensive damage to the structure it collided into. Homeowners insurance claim was filed adjustments to come with claim at a later date, no injuries, related to recall number 17v‑821.
Completed aem update which promised no change in performance. Truck is now dangerous to drive and does not meet my needs, which is why I purchased the truck. I nearly get t-boned pulling in or across traffic. The lag in the truck is extreme. I own a 21 foot boat and can barely pull it out of my 2 mile driveway that is on a slight hill. Truck bogs down and nearly stalls. Very disappointed in the truck after the update.
2014 dodge ram. Consumer writes in regards to problems with ignition, lights and transmission. *ld the consumer stated the vehicle was parked on a hill when it began to roll backwards and crashed through a gate. The consumer grabbed the wheel, from standing outside the vehicle, directing the vehicle towards an embankment, where it landed. The vehicle dragged the consumer along the way. The emergency brake was on. The consumer stated the key falls out of the ignition, but the vehicle continues to run. The mileage would not appear on the instrument panel. The headlights were not adjustable.
Received a letter from fca, titled, approved emissions modification disclosure 3.0l diesel. Took letter and visited dodge dealer, they did not know anything about the letter and stated that they could not do anything without a recall number. I have since monitored motor for any signs of overheating or loss of cooling fluid. The truck continues to have low gas mileage, shifts hard and at high RPM. When first started is sluggish and I have to drive cautiously as it hesitated on take off.
2014 ecodiesel received an update / reprogramming of engine control unit (ecu) and now has serious drivability issues, especially when cold. Throttle response is delayed and, if trying to pull into traffic, is dangerous due to the delay in throttle response. In addition to drivability issues, the fuel mileage has decreased significantly, probably 20%.
On 5/23/19 I took my truck to the dealer where I'd bought it new to fix a check engine light that was on.after the issue was found and repaired, I picked the truck up and was told a trans update(recall # u07) was also done. As soon as I pulled into light traffic,I noticed the throttle pedal was unresponsive and the truck was sluggish and slow to accelerate.it also shifted up and down a lot more then it normally does all the way home.I thought maybe the trans had to re learn it's shift pattern and would get better after I put some miles on it just as it did when new. Over the next several weeks it didn't get any better and pulling onto the state highway from a town road has lead to some close calls as it'is a limited sight stop sign intersection. I have to do this every time I go to work or leave my house for any other reason. This is not a one time happening but every time I need to pull into traffic or get up to speed quickly. After several weeks I figured out something was wrong and the truck wasn't going to get better on it's own,I called the dealer to set up an appointment and check it out.I also asked if I could have the epa mandated aem(recall #v08) flash performed at the same time and was given an appointment for the following week. A few minutes later the dealer's service manager called back and informed me the aem update had already been performed on the 5/23/19 service visit and the change(loss) in performance was most likely the result. Since I was unaware the aem update had already been performed,I knew the loss in performance wasn't my imagination. I also noticed a loss of about 15% fuel mpg and the trans.shifts up and down a lot more which is more of an aggravation then a safety issue. I wish the truck could perform as it did before the aem update as was promised by fca and also be emission compliant. I thought I knew what I was getting.
Was told the exhaust manifold bolt/studs warped and snapped and the exhaust manifold is warped, this happened on the driver side first but was covered under warranty but now happening on driver side out of warranty. Was told my dealership they see this often and was told fca has fixed the problem in newer years by using stronger material in the bolts. This informs me that fca knows of the problem but the dealers won't cover it as a design defect. Clearly there is a design defect with the exhaust manifold bolts as they should not be doing this and manufactures are suppose to account for these parts to see extreme temp changes. This has happened now twice to me but because I am no longer under warranty they won't fix the problem. The fist time was before 60,000 miles and now the other side is happening at 76,000 miles. To summarize the problem is warped exhaust manifold bolts and the manifold itself.
Water pump and thermostat on dodge ram 1500. I have spoken to many dealers and owners of dodge ram. Even the water pump is on back order that's how many people have issues with it
Similar to the federal safety agency issue # 11287014 dated 12/5/19 on a ram. Twice, I've parked my truck on an incline (two different driveways), I've put the car in park, shut off the engine and removed the keys and gotten out the truck. The truck then started to roll backwards, both instances I jumped back in and pushed the break to stop the truck, so I do not know how far it would have rolled. It did roll at least 2 feet before I got it stopped. I do not know the dates of the incidents
After parking my vehicle in my driveway with the rear on the upper side of a slight incline and placing the vehicle in park and shutting engine off, the vehicle strarts rolling downward for approxiamately 5 to 7 feet, eventually stopping. Firsted noticed yesterday, 12/3/19 and then again today.this is a very serious issue and a safety concern. I read on online that it may be related to issues with the brake transmission shift interlock.
Vb1 recall is happening to my truck and still unknown solution and parts aren't available. Is the truck ok to drive, will it be on fire? Bulletproof diesel looks like a great option.
Wasn't sure if this fell under power train or engine itself. 2014 ram 1500 3.6l engine. Oil filter housing is plastic. Noticed an oil leak upon changing oil. Brought to dealer and hoped it fell under power train warranty. Did not qualify so I'm out almost 1,000 for the repair. Researching, this is a known common problem. Dealer attributed it to being over tightened filter housing. Well research shows this happens due to the temperature cycling over time. Oil leaking onto the engine manifold creates a fire hazard under the proper conditions. Manufacturer should put forward a recall to replace the housings or design one that is metal for an adequate replacement.
I have had several malfunction of the transmission in my vehicle since purchased. They started around a year after I purchased the vehicle and have averaged approximately one malfunction per year. The first three malfunctions were similar; a "hard" downshift or upshift while I was highway driving at highway speed and adjust according to traffic flow. I heard a loud popping noise and felt the jolt of the transmission changing. Like when the vehicle slowed but the transmission didn't react and all the sudden a hard shift same on the upshift. The latest malfunction was different. I was in highway traffic when traffic slowed down. I tried to accelerate to keep up with traffic flow but the vehicle would not exceed the 45 MPH. I could hear the engine revving up but it was like it was stuck in low gear. I pulled off the freeway and stopped and restarted the vehicle and it drove as normal. I have explained the malfunctions to the dealership on several occasions. They said they checked it out and it was normal. After the last failed attempt to get the problem resolved at the dealership, I contacted the chrysler fca us customer center representative by letter. The advised me to a gm at the dodge city dealer in mckinney, tx. The dealership ended up "resetting the transmission". It was explained to me that is similar to resetting your cell phone where all settings go back to the original settings. I was given no other options at the time except to drive the vehicle and see if the resetting resolved the problem. It is my opinion there has been no real resolution to the problem of the malfunction of the transmission. I still have the same fear that if the transmission malfunction under the right conditions it could cause an accident resulting in serious bodily injury or even death to me or someone else. Please give this concern your utmost attention.
When the vehicle is in gear then stopped and placed in park but not shut off it will not go back into gear. This started the end of june 2019. It has occurred at least seven times. It has occurred in driveways, parking lots, and landscape and lumber yards. At the yards it blocked oncoming traffic.it happened when the vehicle was half way into our street from our driveway where vehicles had to drive around the truck. This could have resulted in injury the dodge dealer ran three checks on the truck and told us the problem never registers on their computer nor could they get the problem to replicate. After many complaints the dealership replaced the shifter controller. The problem occurred again within an hour after the attempted repair. We have to be careful where we drive the vehicle so we so not put ourselves in a dangerous situation. We could not be assure the vehicle would fo into gear when doing a three point turn. We have a video of this problem but I could not get it to copy.
My stock driveshaft is rubbing into my stock gas tank. I believe to be the case on all 2014 regular cab 1500 with the 3.92 rear end. The key here is the 3.92 rear end on this truck. They used an oversize adapter plate the mount the drive shaft and there is not enough clearance when turning left and the bed rolls. I have gauge marks in my tank and fca is refusing to look at the evidence even though a ram dealer pointed it out to me.
After the v08 recall aem update, the truck has no power when accelerating from a stop
Recall for emissions not performed correctly. Engine light comes on all the time. Warning flashes on dash : "engine will not restart in 200 mi service def see dealer." started at 5000 miles and has plagued the truck every since then. Ram was supposed to fix and reimburse under recent recall and extended warranty settlement. I have documented, written, called, emailed, and faxed to the ram manufacturer. I get no response whatsoever. Recall done on 7/11/19 and on 10/08/19 I still don't have it fixed. File to thick to up load.
This has happened on a multitude of occasions. While driving the vehicle, the check engine light, the traction control light will both come on. At the same time as the lights the messages show up and say to service shifter knob, then right after that the service trailer brake system message shows up and will be the only message found in the messages folder. The check engine light and the traction control light stay on. When trying to get the traction control light to go out by pressing the traction control button, nothing happens. This is telling me that I do not have any traction control. This will become a major issue when it snows. Each of these instances have happened while moving both on and off the highway and while at a stop. This has happened also while on the highway about seven months ago while on the highway in the snow.
Dangerous. Transmission problem on slight uphill at speeds from 40-70 miles. Suddenly the traction control off light and engine light comes on, truck gets stuck in a weird gear, gas pedal only works half way. You cannot speed up to save your life. This is just a 4 year old truck. Absolutely unfoto buyers.
After the v08 update very bad lag from the pedal and gas mileage dropped very significantly.
After receiving the epa mandated emissions update known as aem (v08) I have been experiencing an unsafe amount of lag from the time the accelerator is pressed to the time the truck actually begins to accelerate. At times, I can count to 5 seconds before the truck begins to move forward. This is unacceptable and downright unsafe. Fca is staying that the lag is as the software intended it to be. When the truck was purchased it was not at all like this, after being forced by the epa & the state of california to get this update my truck is now nearly inoperable due to safety concerns. I refuse to put my family in this vehicle as it in completely unpredictable and unreliable. Please step up and forced fca to fix this terrible mistake they made. You may end up saving someone's life.
The v08 emission recall has despite what the manufacturer claims decreased my mpg, increased turbo lag, made it unsafe to drive due to literally slower than acceptable throttle response, and daily diesel regeneration. All before this flash to the ecu there where no problems. But since it is a ticking time bomb just waiting for for me to get t-boned at an intersection for the delayed acceleration.
When in motion on a city or a highway the transmission does not downshift correctly and it sounds like if it is revving when not stepping on the gas.
