general problems of the 2014 Dodge Ram 2500

Tire sencer system go's off all the time and then resets after awhile. No certain speed or time.

While driving the vehicle I needed to change lanes and speed up. A vehicle was to my right and infront of me. I had to let off the throttle for a second to let the vehicle next to me pass. As I pressed the throttle to accelerate and pass the vehicle in front of me there was no response from the vehicle. There was at least a two second delay before the vehicle started accelerating. This has happened several times. Sometimes from a stop when trying to turn into traffic. Other times while moving. It seems to happen when the accelerator pedal is depressed and then pressed again within a short period of time.

Tpms does not allow setting tire pressures to the recommended tire setting from the tire manufacturer without triggering warning light and nag screen on startup. Constant warning light and nag screen correction will lead to driver complacency, negating the purpose of tpms alerting the driver to a potential problem with the tires. Tpms required over inflation results in potential loss of vehicle control due to loss of traction. Abnormal tire wear due to tire over inflation increases risk of hydroplaning and loss of control of vehicle. Ram customer service has been contacted and confirmed that this problem is systemic, by design, and can not be corrected at present time. Potential fix is to reprogram bcm, allowing dealers to reset tpms to appropriate setting for tires and actual load with appropriate documentation.

I bought a new 2014 Dodge Ram 2500 (diesel) in June 2014. After a short time of having my vehicle, I noticed it leaned to the left side. I measured the wheelbase of my vehicle and found the right side was one inch higher than the left side. When looking at my vehicle on level ground, it appears there is a flat tire when if fact there is not. I checked the tire pressure to ensure it was even on all tires and it was. I reported the problem to dch Jeep Dodge Chrysler of temecula where I bought the vehicle. They inspected the vehicle and stated the vehicle does in fact lean, but it only leans 3/4 of an inch on the left side and it fell within their guidelines of a max lean of 3/4. I told them it was not 3/4 of an inch and was one inch. Frustrated with this dealership, I took my vehicle to another dealership who inspected the vehicle and they confirmed my vehicle leans on the left side one inch. Dodge will not fix this problem for me or explain to me the reason my vehicle leans. My vehicle does not appear safe to drive nor do I feel safe driving it with my family because it leans so much and it seems as if my vehicle will crash.

A week after I bought the truck the problems began, the steering started rattling every time I turned left and on a few occasions it got extremely hard to steer the truck, they rebuilt the front axle once then finally replaced the whole front axle assembly and wiring. The truck shakes bad at 65+ with the factory firestone tires I replaced them. The a/c vent controls stopped working the motors and heater core had to be replaced. The accelerator/throttle is extremely delayed almost to the point of being dangerous and when you let off the throttle the truck violently bangs into gear. The service def light came on yesterday 12/2/14 with 3/4 full tank. I just reached 8500 miles and these trucks are dangerous I hope Chrysler fixes these nightmare problems.

The rear tires have to have at least 80 psi, a condition of over inflation without a maximum cargo load. This makes for poor control on wet or icy roads and leads to premature tire wear.
