In temps below zero air suspension fails
Air suspension failure. When the temperature is below zero degrees fahrenheit , the air suspension fails and sits all the way down on the bump stops, or leans to the left dramatically. It stays that way until the dealership can take it in, which can be weeks.
Air suspension will stop working causing the truck to ride directly on the frame. Also, the front will deflate while the back is still inflated. Any time this happens the fuse for the air suspension is blown. Has happened on numerous occasions since purchasing the truck. Occurs while vehicle is parked and not in operation.
Takata recall. In the winter months there are a host of electrical problems. At times, the radio will not tutn off after I shut off the vehicle. The only fix was yo disconnect the battery. The backup camera goes completely green also. The air suspension fails several times per week during the winter months as well. I have it parked outside all the time.

Vehicle has had 4 complete set of tires, plus 2.... Vehicle starts shaking and wobble while driving at 68-72mph. Ram refuses to look into this. Something I think in drive line or rear causing all these problem. Something is causing tire damage..out of round and radial run out. Shaking and wobble have never stop with all these tires and balances. I have all ro's if wanted
