2015 Ram 2500 acceleration problems

Filed Jan 31, 2024 · Acceleration · IL

ABS speed sensor on. Replaced and it remains on. It causes my cruise control, traction control and most importantly 4WD to stop working. This happened right in the middle of a week where we had lots of snow and ice and freezing temperatures. I got lucky and discovered that the ABS light causes the four-wheel-drive to not work before I manage to take a bad road that I had been planning to take. Meanwhile because of work I haven't had time to fix it till recently so all this time I have not had four-wheel-drive very bad weather. A very stupid fail safe feature, disabling 4WD over a speed sensor.

This issue relates to code U010c “lost communication with turbo charger supercharger A”. When the engine brake is turned on the engine brake can remain on during this malfunction and the vehicle loses power. If the fault code above occurs at highway speed and the engine brake was activated the engine brake can remain on even if the accelerator is pressed and the engine brake is manually turned off. This situation required me to quickly move to the shoulder and shut the engine off to reset the fault code. This has happened to me several times. My vehicle only has 34k miles but the warranty has expired. The turbo actuator tests ok until the engine is at operating temperature. The actuator electronic control malfunctions at normal engine operating temperature. The dealer wants to replace the entire turbo. There seems to be many aftermarket companies that make replacement actuators so I believe this is a common problem with Cummins turbo Diesel engines from 2012 to 2019 models.

Vehicle looses 6 MPH before transmission shifts down to pickup speed, I am unable to use anywhere there is any type of incline. In order to use cruise control need to drive in truck lane to avoid being rear ended. Dealer claims that it is normal because they can't change any settings. You want date that the cruise control doesn't work that would be every day I drive my truck.

The speed control will not shut off when the switch is activated. I took the truck to the ram truck dealer in temecula, ca (dch chrysler, dodge, ram) in jan 2018 with this complaint but to no avail; they couldn't find a problem. Now I read where over 5 million fca vehicles are affected with this issue. My truck does not appear on the nhsta or ram truck websites when I enter the VIN and search for this recall. Now what? It still has the problem and I won't use the speed control.
