What owners say about the suspension
Verbatim from NHTSA complaints, newest first
“Dealership held vehicle for approximately 2.5 months for major service totaling nearly $6,900 (primarily covered by extended warranty with ~$1,000 paid out-of-pocket). Upon return, the vehicle failed to function properly and was released in a dangerously compromised, life-threatening condition—specifically with a brake line left completely disconnected from the caliper, loose/wiggling, and actively leaking brake fluid. Vehicle had to be towed to an independent facility (John Kent Auto + Truck Repair), where I paid $215 to diagnose and rectify safety issues caused/missed by Tate Dodge. This hazardous mechanical failure occurred while driving the vehicle with my family on board. Shockingly, a SUET CAKE was apparently deliberately left sitting inside the engine bay near the battery, a second hazard to myself and the public - rodents could eat the engine wires. Condition, extreme safety hazards, and gross service negligence officially documented via Anne Arundel County Police Department Incident Report #2026199618. Dealership management has ignored all communication and requests for remediation."”
“The ABS, Traction Control, & Trailer Braking system no longer function. The vehicle is still drivable, technically unsafely. Warning lights for these system on all the time. I took vehicle to my local repair shop and was told the ABS Controller Module has failed (code C2200-49 indicating an internal electronic failure within the controller). I was quoted a replacement cost of $1579 + tax. I was also told the part, 68228991AD is on indefinite backorder. I have tried to locate the part on my own and there is in fact a nationwide backorder. As of this date replacement and remanufactured modules are not available. This is not just an issue with 2015 Ram trucks but extends to other Ram model years using the same part number. This is a huge safety issue that should be addressed through a recall. It is a travesty that Ram would not maintain adequate supplies of essential safety-related repair parts for a vehicle that is only 10 years old. At this point I have no recourse except to drive the truck in this condition. I am unable to sell the vehicle due to this situation.”
“The contact owns a 2015 RAM 1500. The contact stated that while parked and inspecting the brakes, the contact noticed cracks on both ends of the sway bar. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and to a dealer, where it was diagnosed that the sway bar was cracked and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was then taken to another independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the sway bar was cracked on both ends and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.”
“Vehicle Air suspension keeps failing. Mostly when at high speed on highway, warning signs keep coming for "immediate air suspension service required". Vehicle bounces a lot”
“Air suspension has failed multiple times. The latest making it impossible to drive. Traction control also goes out with the air suspension, it's extremely difficult to maintain control on even the smoothest roads because every little bump jars the whole truck. The truck has been in the shop and they just keep finding issues that shouldn't even affect the suspension, like the heated steering wheel and tire sensors that have the suspension suspended. Warning messages that pop up include: service electronic breaking system, service trailer brake, service air suspension, check engine light has been on and off with the suspension issues and traction control light as well.”
“Hello, I have a Ram equipped with the Air Ride Suspension. It has been a long on going problem for me. It has been a safety concern as it involves with the Suspension of the vehicle and at random moments the front end of the truck will drop all the way down to the bump stops making it impossible to drive or steer. I have noticed I am not the only one and that plenty of other people have delt with this issue as well.”
