I pull a trailer everyday and I been having break issues the ABS light goes on and off all day, driving on the freeway, streets and even when the truck is on park noise is annoying. Service electronic braking systems is on as well I been almost had accidents and loosing control with my trailer that I don’t feel safe anymore for me and my passengers.

Since I have purchased the truck over 8 wheel studs have broken off. Most broken off at different tire shops while removing the bolt. Others have fallen off while driving. This is supper unsafe and need to be a recall due to safety.

During a routine tire rotation, the service technician advised me that the brake calipers appeared to be swelling when heating up and were cutting grooves into the wheels. He proceeded to show me the damage and indicated that this could result in a catastrophic event if not corrected. I immediately took the vehicle to the dealership and informed them of the issue. It was looked at and agreed that was the problem. I was advised to contact the manufacturer to start a claim. So far, that is of no benefit. They are basically telling me that until a catastrophic event occurs, there is nothing they will do. I am still trying to get them to cover it. These are all factory parts and I am the sole owner of the vehicle.

The Hydraulic Control Unit and the Anti-lock brake module on my 2017 Ram 2500 Diesel truck is going out. It has 84,000 miles on this truck. This is very costly to repair and Ram knows it is a problem! It is also very dangerous for the brakes to be an issue on any vehicle, but especially on one that has a heavy front end as diesel trucks do. The braking system must be reliable to stop the truck itself. This truck was built and designed to pull trailers and as a work truck. It is very dangerous to consider that these 2 components are not working when pulling a loaded trailer which depends on the braking system as well to stop the vehicle. I am also enclosing several websites to show you that Ram knows there is a problem but hasn't issued a recall on the problem. One of these sites is a Ram forum that shows many people are dealing with this issue. https://www.ramforumz.com/threads/abs-hcu-replacement.276340/ https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/forums/3rd-generation-ram-non-drivetrain-all-years-101/abs-cab-hcu-replacement-218820/ Thank you for your time!

Had certified preowned truck aligned after purchase and shop could not adjust front end to stop pull to the right. Took it back to the dealer and they replaced a drag link (but tech said it had nothing to do with the pull) and the second time they rotated front tires left to right. Still pulls to right. Googled problem and I find that it is a common problem with Ram trucks but requires an after market install of ball joints to be able to adjust for the pull. Overheard a service writer who stated “ you can’t align a Ram”.

The tire pressure monitoring system requires I have 60 psi in the front tires and 80 psi in the rear tires. Unless I have a considerable amount of weight loaded in the pickup box, the rear tires are over-inflated at 80 psi. This over-inflated condition causes a rapid wearing of the rear tires. My real concern though, is that the over-inflated condition cause the tires to lose traction unexpectedly during wet or icy conditions. On several occasions my vehicle has become 'squirrelly' while I was just driving down the highway. My dealership has told me the pressure is set at the factory and can not be changed by the dealership and that removing the pressure sensors would cause my dash gauges to indicate I had no pressure in the tires. This over-inflated tire pressure situation is causing a very hazardous condition, not only to myself but to others as well. This problem needs to be fixed. This is a ongoing situation but is especially hazardous during winter months.

Unknowing ling had fca dealership perform recall 19v‑021, drag link assembly. By the dealership conducting this it now makes my vehicle illegal for towing per the federal motor carrier safety regulation ss 393.209 (d) steering system.

The steering gear box shall not have loose or missing mounting bolts or cracks in the gear box or mounting brackets. The pitman arm on the steering gear output shaft shall not be loose.

I have contacted the fca dealership and they will not replace the part that they have welded therefore making my vehicle illegal if inspected.

2017 ram 2500 diesel with firestone transforce at tires. Tires have approximately 27000 miles on them and need to be replaced. Overall I am very pleased with truck but very disappointed that ram puts tires on a 54000 dollar truck that only lasts 27000 miles. Tires are big expense (1000 dollars). I'm sure I am not the only owner with this issue. Please resolve this issue.
