2018 Ram 2500 suspension problems

Filed Aug 22, 2026 · Brakes, Electrical · WA

I haven’t experienced an issue yet. A safety recall was finally issued to my 2018 Ram 2500 pickup truck in 2024. I had taken it to the local Ram dealership (Rairdon’s Ram, Bellingham, WA). On two separate occasions for my truck throwing the following warning light, “Check Electronic Braking System”. At the same time, traction control is deactivated, and cruiser control turns off, so if you have cruise control set, the warning light causes the cruise control to deactivate, and the truck immediately starts to slow down. This is a problem at highway speeds. The warning light also activates a chime that pings incessantly for several minutes and will continue to sound every 30 minutes while driving. Ram finally identified it as a safety issue, and issued a recall. However they stipulated there was no fix identified yet. It has been going on two years since being notified, and I have checked with my local dealership, and no fix has been identified still. My complaint is that Ram is dragging its feet with this recall repair.

My HCU is out and constantly dinging at me for no traction control and ABS. I know this is recalled and I have been waiting over a year and FCA still doesn't appear to have a remedy for this.

The vehicle had multiple unresolved safety defects from the time of purchase. The radio and electrical system never functioned correctly and could not be repaired despite repeated dealer visits. The stabilizer bar failed and fell out while driving, causing loss of steering stability. The vehicle is currently subject to an open federal safety recall for ABS/ESC/traction control loss with no repair remedy available. These defects created a serious crash risk and caused loss of safe use of the vehicle. The manufacturer and authorized dealer failed to repair the vehicle.

I had a safety recall V06 performed on my 2018 truck. Three local shops refused to do an alignment saying they can not perform the alignment without having a steering wheel misaligned. I find steering wheel misalignment to be a safety issue. In critical situations you don't have a reference where your wheels are straight. I it hard to comprehend that welding an adjustable part on steering would be an approved permanent remedy by NTHSA. These welds are rusting and prompt to crack.

The brake system and steering system are affected. Both are subject to open safety recalls that have not been fully resolved. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Unresolved brake and steering issues pose a serious safety risk, particularly when driving with my family. A failure or malfunction of either system could result in reduced stopping ability or loss of steering control, increasing the risk of an accident. Due to these unresolved safety concerns, I do not feel safe operating the vehicle. The issues are associated with acknowledged manufacturer recalls. However, my local dealership/manufacturing has failed to adequately respond or complete the necessary repairs, despite multiple attempts to address the problems. The vehicle has been presented to the dealership for recall-related concerns. No inspections by police or insurance representatives have occurred to date. Manufacturer involvement has been limited to customer service communications, without resolution. Symptoms include ongoing brake and steering concerns that prompted recall notifications. These issues have persisted despite recall availability and were present prior to my most recent attempts to obtain service. No effective corrective action has been completed.

Recall v06/the federal safety agency 19v‑021. I bought my 2018 2500 ram new in 2019. On 10-10-25 I put my first set of tires on it 37369 miles. After install of tires. I wanted an alignment.tech took truck to allignment rack and pulled it off real fast. Sales rep told me they could not do the alignment because the drag link was welded. I showed him the qr code in my owners manual which he scanned and said they dont weld on steering components and to take it to the dealer. I did feldman dodge ram and asked the rep. If ram would replace it?? A mechanic was in the service area and said they only cut align and reweld them and that would be additional labor.thats what they did. My concern is how many times can the adjustment sleeve and nuts be cut ground and rewelded before the drag link fails and someone is hurt or killed?? Hope not once. Ram customer service seems to be based in india now and are firm no replacment or even reimbursment for additional labor.please advise, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

I get a message that states Service air ride suspension immediately. After reading several ram forms it seems this is a big problem with these trucks. My airbags are completely inflated. I have not taken to the dealer because most of the forms I read says ram is aware of the problem but hasn't issued a recall.
