2017 Ram 1500 UNKNOWN OR OTHER

The tone wheel magnet broke apart and is not a part of recall 66a.my truck is currently in the shop awaiting repairs.

There is a current recall for ram 1500s with faults in their Abs systems, which causes their ECS system to disable itself. My 2017 vehicle has been experiencing this issue since purchase in 2019. I have tried to get ram dealerships to diagnose this issue several times, but each time they say that they cannot recreate the fault. My goal in filling this report is to get my vehicle added to this recall.

Engine light came on with code. Was for 3 way coolant heater valve. Purchased part and replaced a few weeks ago. Engine light is back on . I see online chrysler had a recall for the same issue on the 2017 Dodge ram. I called NTSB to check on recall they said could be internal recall at chrysler. I tried to call Chrysler and I am put on hold. I would like Chrysler to authorize this to be fixed further at a local Chrysler/Dodge dealer in my area. Attached is the prior recall for the same issue that I am having now. There obviously is an issue that company is aware of and had a recall. Now it is happening to newer models an there should be a recall to be fixed free of charge. NTSB shows NO safety recall for this. There are MANY reports in forums on the internet of this exact problem. It is code P2681. "A 2017 Dodge Ram 1500 may have been subject to a recall regarding the "3-way coolant heater control valve" due to a potential issue with the valve's internal circuit board, which could cause it to stick in a position that prevents proper coolant flow to the heater core, impacting windshield defrosting capabilities; this recall is identified as NHTSA Campaign Number 13V-177."

Front gas tank strap pulled through frame while driving down highway, after checking the spot in the frame was severely corroded/rusted. Gas tank was hanging off bottom of truck, with strap hitting against driveshaft. Vehicle was purchased about 3 months ago from dealership with no notation of this issue. No warnings or signs prior to event happening.

It's muffler is totally broken

my turn signal doesn’t turn off when making a left turn 90% and when making a right 50%

I can not find specific tow rating for my truck. The sticker on the door only gives payload. “Towing and Payload” in the owner’s manual has no figures - it only lists 3 websites that either redirect or are broken links. Furthermore, creating a Mopar account and linking my VIN says the following - “ Sorry, your towing and payload information is not available. Please check your owner's manual for towing and payload details.” This puts me in an infinite loop and I have no way of knowing what my specific vehicle is safely rated to tow.

My family has been exhibiting symptoms of asthma for several years. Recently, while cleaning out my truck I came across a massive mold growth under the backseat of my Ram 1500 which i believe has been the cause of these health issues all along. I've included multiple photos showing the extent of the growth. It appears that water has been running down the rear truck pillars and soaking the interior carpeting/fabric under/behind the rear seat. There are numerous well documented examples of water leak issues in Ram trucks equipped with a sunroof and third brake lights which I believe to be the cause of the mold resulting in my family's asthma related issues. I have previously taken my truck into the dealer for water leak concerns (I had noticed wetness on the front window pillars after a heavy rain). It was recommended at that time that I check/blow out the sunroof drains and not to park the truck on any incline (this is ridiculous). I blew air through the drains (they were perfectly clear with no blockage). I didn't notice further wetness on the front pillars so I didn't pursue the issue again until now. The nature of these water leaks makes them very difficult to detect and poses a serious health risk as the extensive mold growth would not normally be noticeable. Ram should be required to recall trucks with these issues to fix the leaks and provide adequate water management (e.g. properly designed drip tray with water drainage outside of the cabin) in case of future leaks to prevent this safety issue.

1) Driver's side front door seal does not seal. This allows water to run down the door trim and into the dashboard. 2) Rear sliding window allows water to enter the cab. Sometimes this window sticks and will not open/close. I have reported these issues to my local dealer. They checked the issues, but deny the problems.

Driver side window rattles during the cold weather months. Dealer reviewed the issue multiple times and can not resolve.

When it rains and blows sideways the right passenger floor and door get filled with water. It seems to be coming out of the passenger grab bar. I do not know where it is originating from but it makes my car smell like mold if I am out of town and it rains.

MY 2017 DODGE RAM IS HAVING STARTING PROBLEMS IN THE MORNING ONLY. IT TAKES ABOUT 15 TO 20 MINUTES TO START. I DON'T HAVE REMOTE START, IT IS NOT THE FOB, I BELIEVE IT'S THE ( WIN MODULE ) HAS I HAVE LOOKED UP ON SOME RAM CHAT SITES. MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 37K ON IT AND WARRANTY JUST EXPIRED IN SEPTEMBER...GO FIGURE!

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW FELL INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR SIGNS OF AN EXISTING PROBLEM. REACTING TO THIS CAUSED ME TO SWERVE INTO THE ONCOMING LANE,LUCKILY THERE WAS NO VEHICLE CLOSE ENOUGH TO ME THAT I COULDN'T RETURN TO MY OWN LANE WITHOUT INCIDENT, FROM INTERNET SEARCHES THIS APPEARS TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM REPORTED BY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, AND THEY ALL SAY THAT DODGE HAS NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE IT WILL ONLY BE A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SERIOUS INJURY OR POSSIBLY DEATH MAY OCCUR, I AM NOW PREPARED FOR THIS TO POSSIBLY HAPPEN AND WILL NOT BE CAUGHT OFF GUARD AGAIN HOPEFULLY.

BROKE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WARPING CAUSING MANIFOLD BOLT TO BRAKE.

I HAVE THE ECODIESEL. THEY ARE PRONE TO CATCHING ON FIRE, EVEN WHEN PARKED. I EMAILED RAM AND ASKED IF IT WAS SAFE TO PARK MY TRUCK IN A GARAGE ATTACHED TO THE HOUSE. THEY WOULD NOT TELL ME THAT IT IS SAFE, TOLD ME TO USE MY OWN JUDGEMENT. THE FAILURE RATE FOR THESE ENGINES IS RIDICULOUSLY HIGH. ARE YOU DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS?

VEHICLE IS 18 MONTHS OLD AND THE A/C HAS GONE OUT. THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPED WITH THE NEW FREON THAT IS VERRRRRRRY EXPENSIVE AND IS VERY DANGEROUS TO HANDLE. HAD 2 ESTIMATES DONE FOR 3500.00 EACH.

POOR FUEL MILEAGE POOR PERFORMANCE

DRIVING UNDER CRUISE CONTROL 65MPH (THE SPEED LIMIT) MY SPEED DROPPED, I ACCELERATED BUT TRUCK KEPT SLOWING,I SAW WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM THE HOOD AND BEHIND THE TRUCK, I SAW A WARNING ON DASH TO SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE SENSOR, THEN LIGHTS ON DASH FLASHED, I FOUND A SPOT ON SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PULLED OVER, THE ENGINE REVVED AND I HEARD VALVES CLATTER WORSE THAN I EVER HAVE,THEN THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON, I STOPPED, PULLED THE HOOD AND SAW FLAMES AT THE FIREWALL AND TOP OF THE ENGINE COVER, THERE MAY HAVE BEEN FLAMES IN OTHER AREAS BUT I SHUT THE HOOD QUICKLY AND STARTED GETTING THINGS OUT OF THE TRUCK AWAY FROM THE FLAMES, CALLED 911 AND IT FULLY ENGULFED THE CAB IN MINUTES. THE FIRE TRUCK ARRIVED WITHIN A FEW MINUTES AND EXTINGUISHED THE FLAMES. TRUCK WAS A TOTAL LOSS EXCEPT THE BED.

24 HOURS AFTER PURCHASE (200 MILES DRIVEN) A CHEMICAL ODOR AND IRRITANT FILLS THE CANE, MY 6 YEAR OLD STATED THE AIR HAS PEPPER IN IT. THE ISSUE WORSENED WHEN OPERATING THE HEAT/AC FUNCTION CAUSING EYES TO BURN, HEADACHE AND DISORIENTATION. MANY OWNERS ON PUBLIC FORUM HAVE NOTED SAME ISSUE AND COMMONLY MENTION THE CAUSE TO BE A REACTION OF FAULTY MANUFACTURED COOLANT HOSE BEING DISSOLVED BY THE COOLANT. CHRYSLER AND DEALERS HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED AS CONTINUOUS EXPOSURE OF TOXIC FUMES GREATLY INCREASES RISK OF CRASH. NO RESOLUTION HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO MY KNOWLEDGE.

DURING HEAVY RAIN THE BACK DRIVER SIDE WELL (UNDERNEATH REAR SEAT-STORAGE AREA) FILLS WITH WATER. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TOMORROW TO DIAGNOSIS THE ISSUE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR WINDOW DRAIN HOLES BEING PLUGGED BUT NOT CERTAIN. ONLY A YEAR OLD AND SURPRISED THIS OCCURRED. CHECKED YOUTUBE AND FOUND THIS ISSUE WITH OLDER MODELS OF RAM TRUCKS. ITS TAKEN A ACT OF CONGRESS TO GET DEALER TO SCHEDULE A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. WENT TO LOCAL DEALER AND THEY TRIED TO REDIRECT TO A WATER SPECIALIST LOCALLY. THEY WERE AVOIDING THE WARRANTY OR JUST PLAIN LAZY. COME ON DODGE YOU CAN DO BETTER. I HAVE NOTICED THIS FROM THE TRUCK BEING PARKED IN FRONT OF MY HOME. I NOW PLACE TOWELS TO CAPTURE WATER ON RAINY DAYS.

I HAD A AXEL FIXED UNFORTUNATELY THEY BLAME IT ON MY USED OF MY VEHICLE WHICH I TAKE IT TO THE RANCHO WHERE IS MUD AND RAIN COUPLE DAYS. THEY SAY THAT I WOULDNT BE WARRANTY BUT THAT THEY CAN FIX IT IF I PAY OFF POCKET. I ASKED THEM IF I DID I'LL BE UNDER WARRANTY STILL THEY SAY YES. COMES DOWN THAT MY DIFFERENTIAL GIVES OUT ON ME. THEY SAID THAT THE OLD IDEALERSHIP I TOOK FOR THE AXEL HAD FLAGGED IT WITH A POWER TRAIN RESTRICTIONS. I ASKED THEM WHAT THEY MEANT BY THAT THEY SAID THEY TOOK OF MY WARRANTY. SO AS WE SPEAK TRUCK IS GETTING TRANSFER TO ANOTHER SHOP TO GET IT FIX WITH DODGE PARTS. I SEE ONLINE THAT THE DIFFERENTIALS ON 1500 HAVE A RECALL IN MY YEAR.

GOT LETTER FROM FCA ( FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES) REGARDING RECALL. BUT NHSTA WEBSITE NOT SHOWING ANY RECALL. I AM BEEN CHECKING SINCE LAST 2 MONTHS. RECALL REGARDING ORC. THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROL.
