The ABS, traction control and emergency brake light all turned came up on the dashboard. I believe a past recall May 16, 2018 was of a wiring issue effecting the cruise control. Since all three lights have came on, the cruise control feature is not available for use. This is a concern within the Ram community and needs to be addressed.
2015 Ram 1500 electrical complaints

ABS Modular is malfunctioning and recommended to be replaced. I have been waiting 1.5 years for this part and continue to be told it’s not available. My check engine light continues to be on and my car does not function as it should. The part is identified as needing to be fixed but no parts available. I’ve called multiple states and made over 100 calls over the year. I am stuck with a car not functioning correctly and told by RAM that I just need to wait. Thousands of people are waiting for this part I am told and other years have been recalled but not my year somehow. This is dangerous and my hands are tied. I am putting my family in danger daily driving or am out 20+k on a vehicle I can’t drive. This is ridiculous and not a decision I thought I’d have to make with a well known company like Ram.
The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 MPH, the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to stop and had the vehicle jumpstarted. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the battery needed to be replaced. The contact advised the mechanic that the check engine warning light was illuminated for almost one year prior to the failure. The vehicle was repaired; however, the check engine warning light had been illuminated. The contact called a dealer who advised the contact to bring the vehicle to the dealer for a diagnostic test to be performed. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a dealer, and the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 64,545.
ABS Module failed triggering BRAKE light service and ABS Service light, and the ESB light. 6 month + and counting to get this OEM module. Why are you not addressing the supply chain issue......
Service ABS Brake, Service Electronic Brake Throttle, Service Electronic Trailer Brake & Standard Brake dash lights are illuminated at all times. I have no Anti Lock Braking & Sway /Stability Control Light is on and I have No Stability nor anti sway control. This disrupts the Cruise Control from working. It has been confirmed by a local trusted mechanic shop. The Warning Lights have been on since June 2024. This is dangerous especially in rain and wet conditions. The truck has no traction control and fish tails at the slightest turn during acceleration.
ABS, Brake, and traction light came on. Took my vehicle to dealership for diagnostic. The dealership stated it was caused by internal failure to ABS module and HCU. Parts are not available for repair due to parts engineering approval. This is a safety issue were the brakes could fail. Manufacturers should be responsible for repairs and recall vehicles for safety issues. How can the dealership say ABS is unavailable to order.
Was driving to store got to store came out vehicle won't start just keeps turning over. From others that have the same vehicle ecodiesel I'm told it's the tone wheel/crankshaft position. And that the cheap plastic housing chips which causes the no start. Also recall for high pressure fuel pump. And the closest dealership to me can't get my vehicle in for over a month and won't provide a loaner vehicle. I'm well over 2 hours from any other dealership. I bought this vehicle from a dodge ram dealership and was told "NO RECALLS PRESENT " they even had me sign a paper that stated that and gave me a carfax that so no recalls and no recalls ever. But turns out there are 18 recalls for this vehicle. Bought thus vehicle November 2023. So now this vehicle is sitting in my driveway not running and can't get it fixed because the closest dealership can't because they have 1 ONE technician, and no other dealership will tow it to get fix free of charge. All of the symptoms are related to both recalls. High pressure fuel pump, and tone wheel /crankshaft position. Lastly a LOT of people are having to replace the intake manifold regardless of milage for this type of motor.
ABS module has failed and is affecting steering, transmission and speedometer. Truck is not driveable and dealer cannot obtain the needed ABS module. Manufacturer is not supplying them. Truck spent June and July on dealer lot but no repair is possible. Truck was towed to my home and is useless in current condition.
No power going up hills, won't shift going down hill, park sensors lights come on, zero oil pressure then Electronic Throttle. From what I seen on internet and from others with the same issues it's due to high pressure fuel pump which has a recall on it. But when it was sold by the dealership in November 2023 the dealership said there was NO open recalls. But then I find out there is an open recall for the high pressure fuel pump. Now this issues keeps going on. And today September 6 2024 my vehicle lost all power and the fuel light and Electronic throttle Warning light came on and if I had not been in the right Lane and a turn in I would have been hit from behind!
My power steering failed suddenly while driving in the middle of a turn. I nearly crashed into a group of people on a sidewalk because the wheel was nearly impossible to turn. I was given no warnings or indicators ahead of time. I now have the "Service Power Steering" light on my dash and it is still very difficult to turn my wheel. A reputable mechanic has inspected the issue and has identified that the power steering module is completely malfunctioning and they will need to replace it entirely (quoted $3500.00). I have seen that there was a recall specifically for power steering on 2015 Ram 1500's, but Fiat/Chrysler has advised that my VIN does not qualify for the recall. This sudden failure on the power steering is extremely dangerous and could cause loss of the life to drivers, passengers, or bystanders. Please urge Fiat/Chrysler to issue a recall on all 2015 Ram 1500's!
Upon startup the vehicle routinely fails to load the infotainment/center console. This failure prevents the operator from seeing the rear view camera. Nothing in the console comes online for several minutes and other times it loads just fine. It has occured on my truck more than 50 different times.
I previously sent a complaint regarding my vehicles CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. I took it to a dealership and I now have to wait for the part to be ordered! Then it is going to be about 2 weeks before it can be repaired! I was told by the dealership that this part had been on a recall list! So I feel someone should be responsible for fixing and paying for this repair! Approximately $1000! I bought the truck used so therefore the dealer I bought it from should have known this! Right?! HOLZHAUERS MOTORS..NASHVILLE ILLINOIS My truck is being repaired by ABSHER ARNOLD MOTORS MARION ILLINOIS NOW. This is close to where I now live. I really feel someone should be helping me with this repair! You can verify my info by contacting Absher Motors 618‑993‑5000 Help would be appreciated!
Electric Power steering it is now. I will try and keep it when repaired. The Truck would not turn with out using two hands and pulling and wasn't very responsive then. yes at an independent shop and at a dealer. No warning lights ever came on independent shop computer says working fine. Everything was fine and it quit working on a trip to the store. I'm glad my kid wasn't driving. I have drove old trucks without power assisted steering and had an idea how to get it to turn. Women and old people wouldn't be strong enough to turn it and would likely crash very dangerous. Mine obviously should have been recalled with the other 2015 models because it has failed just like them. I know this issue is still under investigation according to an article in August of 2023. This is a very dangerous situation when it happens my truck has only 113k on it. steering shouldn't ever fail at that low of use. These should be banned they are not safe.

I am having an issue with my 2015 dodge ram 77000 miles. I get two messages, service anti-lock brake system and service electronic braking system, and the brake light is on , ABS light and tracking light. Aftenr reading all the comments I really dont have money to keep spending on repairs and the issuse just comes back. I don't drive over 50 miles because I am afraid of the danger of the brakes.
Driving down the freeway Without warning vehicle dashboard started throwing out all kind of code warnings. Vehicle went into limp mode. Vehicle started on fire. Dealership states the blue def system was at fault. A problem this same dealer fixed just last year. At a cost of over $3000. This time with the fire the bill is over $8000. Not to mention the def system recall from a few years back where these components were suppose to be under an extended warranty. What is a consumer to do. We are at the mercy of these dealers Thank you [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Power steering very stiff, doesn't return to center. Intermittent normal to very stiff steering while driving. Reading that some have had steering totally " lock " up and not turn at all.
The back up camera may or may not work. yes 2 It would be easy to back over a small child. 3 The problem was reported to a dealer and was told it could be a bad wire or a faulty radio system that would be expensive to repair.4 no 5 It began to mostly not work a couple years back
My Horn does not work and my computer controls for Mileage, Tire Pressure, Oil Change, Diagnostic Information for the on board computer system does not work. . In talking to several other Dodge Ram vehicle owners they are having the same issues. in looking up this issue on YOU TUBE is is a manufacture's wiring problem with faulty or improper design. I have checked all of my fuse and they are intact. I was advised that it is a CLOCK SPRING issue and it is about a $485 to $502 dollars. SAFETY ISSUE IF THE HORN DOES NOT WORK AND THE AIR BAG. Thousands of vehicles are without a horn because of this manufactures defect. NEEDS TO BE NOTEDAS A SAFETY RECALL THROUGH DODGE RAM. Chrysler corp.
Electronic power steering very hard and stiff. Slowly getting worse. No accident reported but major safety concern.
In the Dashboard show the Check engine light, so when I check on computer show Code P1DF3, it kill my battery many times.
ABS module failure. No parts available. The vehicle goes into limp mode upon acceleration rendering the vehicle unsafe to drive.
The Power Steering in my vehicle fails while driving. It works sometimes and then stops working. This happens while driving. This is extremely dangerous to myself and others as it becomes very difficult to steer the vehicle while driving.
While driving my 2015 Ram 1500 with my children it suddenly with no warning stopped every electrical component went dead and was unable to restart it. Since it is a turn dial gear shift it had to be put in neutral using the pull handle. The truck was completely disabled including the steering wheel. This is a major safety issue as it could cause a serious or even fatal accident because I lost all power and all control of the truck with no way to safely get out of traffic. The dealership has had my vehicle since July 3rd stated that a RF module failed due to water damage caused by a leak from the rear glass/3rd brake light caused by a defect from Dodge. It is now August 11 and they still do not have the parts to replace the module that failed and possibly may have it on the 18th. This is a major safety hazard since there is no warning to the sudden power loss and shut down of the vehicle while driving. This is not a new or isolated issue with these Rams as there is currently a lawsuit in federal court in Michigan Norman v, FCA US LLC for this exact issue and Ram has issued a TSB S2023000024 in April proving they are aware of the water intrusion issue.
According to Ram, some vehicles have a faulty circuit board that may cause the electronic steering to fail. I'm currently experiencing intermittent steering loss, that jolts the wheel. This seems dangerous and ram should replace it asap.
Malfunctioning TIPM causing lights to flash, horn to blow, doors lock and unlock and windows roll down for no apparent reason. The last time the windows opened in a rain shower soaking inside and killing the battery.
The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while attempting start the vehicle using the manual key, the vehicle failed to start. The key not in ignition message was displayed. The contact called the dealer but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the dealer. The approximate failure mileage was 110.000.
Went to go start the truck one morning and when I got in the truck as soon as I exceeded over 7 MPH it says to service the ABS system and the trailer brake system. I turned off the truck and started it again and it said the system was reporting fine. As soon as I went over 7 MPH again it said to service the abs again. I feel this may be a safety issue because it’s a component that’s needed for every vehicle like mines in the event I need to brake hard to avoid an accident. I can’t have the system say there’s an issue and say it’s ok the next time I start the vehicle.
When I leave my vehicle off for a few days the battery will drain and I come to a vehicle with no power to start the vehicle. I did some research online and found out people are saying it is the TIPM commanding the fuel pump to stay on even with they key set to off. I can confirm this fuel pump has to be on because some days my vehicle will take longer to start. I did my own investigation of the matter and found out it’s not my starter or no engine related components as well as lights that can drain a battery. I feel like Mopar should of discovered this and do a recall on this issue because someone can also have the same issue.
Electronic fuel sensor failed at 47k miles. Sensor contact wears away from friction and falsely reports a empty tank, when fuel is present. Vehicle operator has no idea how much fuel is in the tank at any time. Thousands of testimonials online of the same issue. Ramforum.com, ramforumz.com and Youtube.com all have complaints and how to videos.
