With around 14000 miles on my truck I was driving home and was alerted that my front left blinker was burnt out, moments later I was notified that my right front blinker was burnt out. A few miles down the interstate from that I was notified that my right fog light had burnt out. I was going to take my truck in the next day (Monday morning). Before heading to the dealership I inspected my front lights to find that my front driver's side headlight was out also. I waited until the sun came up and prior to heading to the dealership I checked the lights again. All were working so I didn't take my truck to the dealership (Monday mid-morning). Tuesday morning the cycle repeated itself getting notified first of the left front blinker, then the right front blinker, then the fog light. I saw no reflection from the tail light blinker as well. My truck is currently at the dealership getting checked.

On 12/13/2014, I purchased a new, 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 in san antonio, texas. On 01/23/2015, after accumulating 1000 miles on the odometer, I triggered the key fob to unlock the vehicle only to have the entire electrical system fail. I could not start the vehicle no matter what I tried. I notified Dodge and had the vehicle towed to the dealership on 01/24/2015. After several visits to the dealership and numerous telephone calls, I could not receive any definitive answer as to what was being diagnosed or done to fix the problem. Eventually, I had to open a case file through Dodge customer service. They too, were met with the same uncertainty and could not provide any additional information. After 40 days in maintenance and a great deal of acquired stress, the vehicle was finally returned in working order. The cause – a faulty, total integrated power module (tipm). Upon further investigation of this unit I have come to find that (1) Chrysler is aware of this issue, (2) there is a national backorder for tipm’s stretching months, and (3) legal action is pending. Due to the circumstances that I had to endure, I no longer want this truck, nor do I trust its integrity. Although the system failed at my home, it could have very well happened on the road and caused ‘who knows what’. I am done with this vehicle.

After pulling into my drive way with my adult son in the passenger seat I was rolling up to the garage with my foot on the brake pedal slowing down the truck. I stopped the truck completely, by pushing on the brake pedal harder, about 5 feet from the house. I reached down to rotate the shift dial to park, "p". After turning to "p" the truck engine started revving and the truck lurched forward, after initially being startled I looked down and saw the shift dial was at "p" and the engine was still revving. The truck then struck the corner of the house while I was almost standing up on the brake pedal trying to get it to stop. I turned the shift dial to reverse and back to park and the truck stopped revving and moving. Then I backed away from the house. Being a retired police detective the first thing I did was to check to see if the factory floor mat had dislodged and jammed into the pedals but it was properly hooked in place. After getting the trucks body damage repaired I had it towed to the dealer but they could find nothing wrong with the truck. I did notice that when I picked the truck up from the dealer there was a clicking sound under the dash when I rotated the shift dial from "r" to "p" that I do not recall hearing before. No clicking is heard when changing between any other gears.

I just bought myself a brand new 2014 Ram 1500 in November 2014 and today on January 05 2015 I get in the truck to go to luch and the check engine light comes on and the external temp. Gauge reads the it is -40 degrees which is impossible considering I live in south georgia, also my odometer reading is blank and my front windows wont go down. The truck only has 1,922 miles on it and all of this happened at the same time.

Check engine light came on. That was 9/24/14. The check engine light has been through a myriad of "fixes". It is now 02/03/15 (5 1/2 months) - the check engine light is still on and the dealership has it in for "repair". The warranty requires that the vehicle not be driven when the check engine light is on, thus denying us of the regular use of the vehicle, which is critical in our cattle operation. The full nature of the complaint may be obtained by faxing or emailing a request to us.

The remote control can start the vehicle just by contact in a pocket. The auto start is too exposed on the key fob. It has started my ram truck in my garage while I was inside the house, causing a carbon monoxide hazard. Also any movement can lock or unlock the vehicle at any time just my the contact of clothing while in a pocket. This is a severe hazard and can cost lives. Dodge needs to re-engineer the fob to make it safe.

My brand new vehicle had a front left headlight that was out. Stopped by police, went to dealer next day, they said they see this across model line. Brand new car . Was concerned how dark road was driving at night. . Never thought on a brand new car this would occur !.
