2014 Ram 1500 owner complaints (15)

• STEERING

  Sudden lost of power steering

• POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES

  With no warning my truck lost all anti-lock braking, traction control, stability control, trailer brakes, and 4x4 capability (computer will not allow 4x4 to engage). This is due to an "abs module" failure. Ram/Dodge has no new units available to repair this faulty part and no ETA on if/when they will be available. There was thankfully no accident with this failure but obviously, it could lead to one. Especially since the part cannot be fixed. Owners are left with scavenging used parts that are still operational. As in my case, my vehicle will have to be "fixed" with an abs module from a wrecked truck! Also, the electronic steering can fail with no warnings. Leading to complete loss of power steering, traction control, and stability control. This failed on my truck as I was driving as well. Thankfully again, no accident with this failure. There is no new factory part to replace this unit either. I had this repaired with a remanufactured unit that failed in one month, then it was replaced again and seems to be fixed for now. These are keystone components to an automobile and it is unacceptable for them to just stop working and have no available parts to the responsible consumer. This leads to owners having a useless worthless vehicle rotting in the driveway or a highly unsafe vehicle on the road to those irresponsible. I want to also shed light to the fact that these issues encompass model years from 2009 to brand new 2026 Ram trucks. There are people with 2025-2026 Ram trucks dealing with this same issue, my vehicles age isn't an iota to molten issues under the surface to Ram owners! No one is asking for a hand out but to merely repair our vehicles.

• FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  Check Engine light came on with a code P0463. This indicates that the fuel level sensor is bad. This is a VERY common issue on these trucks. It causes the vehicle to no longer go into "ECO" mode which is wasting fuel. This happens every time I fill the gas tank and does not go away until the tank reaches 3/4 tank. The part is garbage and is known to fail.

• ENGINE

  As is clearly a very common defect, my exhaust manifold bolts broke and the manifold warped. This is the second time this has happened. RAM knows about this problem. In fact, it is so well known that it is called "the HEMI tick". The fact that such a shoddy part has continued to be put on millions of trucks and other vehicles should warrant a recall.

• STEERING

  Electric Power Steering failed, luckily while in driveway. C2217 is the fault code. Could have resulted in significant vehicle(s) damage or bodily harm if this had occurred at normal driving speeds.

• SERVICE BRAKES

  At 112,682 miles, instrument cluster warning lights for brake, ABS, and traction control illuminated. Scan of vehicle shows several brake sytem related fault codes, root cause fault code being "C2200-49 Anti-lock Brake Module Internal: Internal Electronic Failure". Called Stellantis Ram dealer service department and was informed repair parts on back order, they have been waiting over a year for parts for vehicles with identical failure, and do not know when or even if repair part will be available.

• STEERING

  Lost power steering driving down the highway. Service power steering light started flashing. This made vehicle very difficult to turn onto shoulder. Been to private shop has to replace entire rack cost unknown yet.

• STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  Upon starting my truck, the Service Power Steering light came on, and my steering wheel was locked, rendering me unable to move the truck and stranded. The system was scanned and reported that the internal EPS module had failed.

• STEERING

  On the morning of May 26, 2026, I was driving at 30 MPH on a neighborhood road. After a few miles, and while approaching a green to caution traffic light. I applied the brake and felt a definite tug in the steering wheel and immediately, completely lost power steering. While at the red traffic light and a full stop, I placed the truck in park stopped and restarted the engine, and the power steering was restored. It happened again within a half mile again while applying the brake. Although difficult to steer at 25 MPH, it is incredibly difficult to turn the wheel when at a full stop. However, by stopping and restarting the engine it enabled me to navigate typical parking maneuvers for a short time.

• SERVICE BRAKES

  C2200-49 code received for ABS control module internal fault. No replacement part available.

• STEERING

  loss of power steering when driving almost went into oncoming traffic, Garage says it is the rack and pinion

• UNKNOWN OR OTHER,SERVICE BRAKES

  I turned the vehicle to park in a diagonal spot, and it would not stop. I had taken my foot off the gas just prior to starting the turn and then tapped the gas in the turn. After I tapped it an physically brough my foot back to the seat and then placed it on the brake, it accelerated. It drove over a curb, through a metal barrier and into a glass door and stopped at the side mirrors while my foot was firmly pressing the brake down. The cops on scene said the video looked like I was accelerating, but like I said I was firmly pushing down on the brake. Only the left rear brake light worked and is hard to see because the plastic cover is damaged. Prior to the accident the vehicle did not have the ABS light blinking, but it was blinking when I retrieved my personal items out of the vehicle 2 days later. There was a woman bending over/ in the corner by counter in the store and had the vehicle not stopped when it did, she would have been hit; when she stood up mere inches from the trunk, this put me, the driver into shock.

• UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  Front gas tank strap rotted out and broke causing the trap to carve into the drive shaft.im lucky i had just come off the parkway but drive shaft was looked at as dangerous and could split in half .It is know there is a recall on the straps and an extended repair of 12 years. They emailed me saying they won’t cover either repair. Also saying the driveshaft is not covered but the problem they admit to caused the second repair? I have a repair bill and a number of other people on the internet that have had the same issue from this broken tank strap.My truck was at the westbury dealer a number of times over the years and they never once brought this up to me. Please help me. I am retired 67 years old and I feel I’m being taken advantage of. T. Y PS I could have been serious injured

• UNKNOWN OR OTHER,SERVICE BRAKES

  Yes there is a issue with the ABS control modules in these trucks, and they are nowhere to be found, it causes a safty risk bec you lose control if u need to hard break and possibly lose your steering. Dodge/ram doesnt want to take responsibility for them and its crazy, this could kill someone and i feel it should have a recall, the warning lights are the traction control/emergency break and your abs light. Irs absolutely insane that i am having to even compalin about this when this is a very important part of the truck

• SERVICE BRAKES

  The ABS module failed. Replacement parts are no longer being manufactured. My traction control, ABS, and cruise control no longer function as a result. Also getting warnings that the trailer braking system has a failure - these warnings started after the ABS module failed.
