2014 Ram 3500: adaptive cruise control problems

Filed Nov 27, 2023 · Acceleration, Brakes · WA

My service abs light comes on and off, which makes cruise control inoperable and rear park sensors inoperable. This also makes putting into 4x4 impossible unless I turn off the truck, switch to 4x4, and start it before the sensor kicks off. I’m worried about the abs mainly. I contacted my dealer and they said it’s a common issue but the part is almost $1k and backordordered for months. How is this not a recall or safety issue?

ABS light, traction control, cruise control and the 4 wheel drive will not work. Part is on back order and was told November then January and now it’s August. I have a camper that I pull with this truck.

Safety recall r36 / the federal safety agency 15v‑459. My truck has had the recall done and still has the exact same issues the recall was supposed to correct. I am not confident the dealer actually did the work properly or at all. My steering wheel mounted controls work intermittently and the horn rarely works but when it does it usually comes on and stays blowing until they ignition is turned off. This is a major safety concern involving the cruise control, horn, and airbag system. The only answer I get from my dealer is "the recall has been done, you'll need to pay for the work". I don't feel it is my responsibility to pay for a shoddy repair job involving a recall. Additionally, there are 4 other open recalls on my truck that the dealer "can't fit in their schedule".

Cruise control operation has become erratic while truck is in motion on a highway at 55 -66 MPH.. Stopped maintaining speed but also could not turn off the cruise control. Took a random series of button pushes and braking before it finally responded and turned off. Has since worked correctly at times, and failed to maintain speed at other times.

I locked in cruise control at 45mph, engine went totally wide open, I wanted to let it go to see how fast it would get to but a car was pulling out of woodland way.less than 5 seconds I was at 85mph. I had to brake hard to bring it back down before the intersection. Now the total steering wheel is dead.no horn or other controls. Quality shop say's 500.00 to repair. Also earlier total shut down.wrecker haul to quality 150.00. Quality said batteries low voltage at only appox. 38000 miles. 380.00 for two mopar batteries. I'm still using both batteries at our equiptment rental business. I told quality about cruise control and they replaced switch but always said could not duplicate the problems. Is this a safety recall or not? I really don't want to put 500.00 0n a new watch spring just to smoke it again!! Thank you (xxxx) this happened over a year or two ago. I kept driving as it was.

As I picked up my new 2014 dodge ram 3500 6.4 , I noticed a rattle coming from in or under the dash board . I also noticed my cruise control would not work and traction light stayed on . The rattle only occurs when I am stepping on the gas and going over rough roads , I let off the gas and the rattle stops . I took it to my dealer ( dick poe dodge , el paso , tx. ) and they found nothing with the rattle , they fixed the other issues . They heard the rattle but said they could not pin point it , they felt it might be the throttle pedal it self , but dodge would not let them swap it out unless they were 100% sure that was the issue . So here I am still driving with the rattle . I did offer to pay for the part and my adviser said he would not allow that only cause he was not 100% sure it would fix the issue . Understand the service dept did all they could to help me , it was dodge that tied their hands .
