Owner-reported complaints naming the suspension system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Suspension reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

I noticed that all four shocks on my 2022 Ram Longhorn limited edition with factory air ride suspension are leaking fluid from around the piston head. I have tried to get the problem fixed but have not been able to find OEM shocks or even aftermarket shocks. I took it my local dealer ship with the recall notice the first one I received ( I have two now) the dealer ship has found only two shocks but they haven't told me which ones ( front or rear). Lithia Jeep, Dodge, of Klamath Falls Oregon knows all about this problem. They don't want to do the recall notices until all the parts are in, plus the bug deflecter on the front of the truck needs to be installed.I have been waiting now for about six months with no word as to how long it's going to take to get some shocks I continue stopping by to see if there is any news about the shocks but nothing yet, I have only about 43 or 44 thousand miles on this truck as it isn't driven that much. I have noticed that the suspension is really getting a hard work out when driving the rear air ride suspension is the only thing that is working on the rear . I am afraid that something else is going to fail or break that's going to cost me thousands of dollars that I don't have. Can't someone look into this problem.

A driver was driving their vehicle on surface streets in Hollywood, CA. When they went to make a 3-point turn to park, they heard a loud noise and felt the vehicle drop. The driver got out to look and saw that the left front wheel was loose and bound up into the vehicles fender. The unit was towed back to the yard and inspected by our internal Fleet Department. It was found that the left front knuckle assembly had cracked, broken and failed between the lower ball joint and the rest of the knuckle assembly. The vehicle was towed to a Ram dealer where it was repaired under warranty and the failed parts were retained by the dealership.
