2015 RAM 3500 Electrical Problems

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 3500. The contact stated while driving approximately 70 MPH in the left lane, the check engine warning light illuminated, and the vehicle simultaneously went into LIMP Mode. The contact was able to pull over to the shoulder of the roadway. The contact was able to continue driving, but the vehicle failed to exceed 5 MPH. Upon arriving to the residence, the vehicle was scanned, and it was determined that the turbo charger actuator had failed and needed to be replaced. The contact purchased an aftermarket part and repaired the vehicle. The dealer was not contacted. The contact later became aware that the failure was related to Chrysler Extended Warranty Coverage Number: X99; however, the contact had not received a notification from the manufacturer. The contact requested reimbursement from the manufacturer; however, the reimbursement was denied because the vehicle was not repaired by a dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

TPMS SENSORS BEING CALLED OUT IN WRONG LOCATIONS FOR REAR TIRES. TPMS WAS CALLING OUT TIRES IN WRONG POSITIONS AND VALUES. FRONT WAS ALSO CALLING IT INCORRECT VALUES. DUALLY. PROBLEMS WITH INCORRECT CALL OUTS CAUSED MULTIPLE TRIPS TO REPAIR SHOPS, TO REPAIR TIRES THAT WE'RE INFLATED PROPERLY BUT READING OUT ON WRONG SIDE OF VEHICLE. AFTER LAST VISIT, DEALER REPLACED TWO ALLEGEDLY BAD SENSORS WHILE ONLY ONE BAD ONE WAS IDENTIFIED AS BAD BY DISCOUNT TIRE. WHILE ALL TPMS APPEARED TO BE READING AFTER THIS REPAIR, RIGHT REAR OUTER TPMS WAS READING A STEADY 68 PSI WHILE ALL OTHER TIRES STARTED OFF LOWER AND INCREASED APPROPRIATELY AS TIRES HEATED UP WITH DRIVING, THIS SENSOR READING DID NOT CHANGE. DUE TO CROSSED READINGS ON FRONT, RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS INDICATING LOW PRESSURE WHILE PROSPEROUS INFLATED, AND LEFT FRONT WENT FLAT, DUE TO INCORRECT TPMS SENSOR READINGS, STRANDING VEHICLE UNTIL IT COULD BE REPLACED AND TAKEN TO SHOP. CONSIDER CHRYSLER RECALL P62 ... ALSO DEALER NOW CLAIMS THAT INNER AND OUTER TIRES USE THE SAME STPMS SENSORS, WHEN OTHER HAVE REPORTED THAT THE INNER AND OUTER TIRES ON THE DUALLY USE DIFFERENT SENSORS.. BUILD DATE 10/2014 .... LOOKS LIKE YOU. NEEDED TO RECALL A BROADER RANGE OF DUALLY THAN JUST THE CHASSIS CAB FOR TPMS DOR 2015'S UNDER P62 I AM AT DEALER AGAIN, AS THEY BUMBLE THEIR WAY AROUND FIXING THE TPMS AND ATTEMPTING TO ALSO UPDATE THE RADIO SOFTWARE FROM 15.17.5 TO 18.45.01

TOO MANY DETAILS, BUT WILL TRY TO BULLET RIGHT TO THE ISSUES: (TRUCK WAS REAR ENDED ON HIGHWAY 4/25/2016) -MY TRUCK WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, BUT UPON "COMPLETED REPAIRS", I PICKED UP AT COLLISION CENTER -EXHAUST BRAKE FUNCTION ON THE TURBO WAS WEAKENED WHILE IN CARE OF DEALERSHIPS HANDS (OR LACK THEREOF) -DURING REPAIRS OF BODY DAMAGE ONLY, SOMEONE RE-CALIBRATED MY TRUCKS SPEEDOMETER TO MATCH MY OVERSIZE TIRES. (THIS WOULD BE SO MUCH A CONCERN, BUT THE FACT THAT MY TRUCKS EXHAUST BRAKE WAS INTENTIONALLY WEAKENED VIA COMPUTER, "NOW WE HAVE A PROBLEM" -THIS ISSUE WAS ADDRESSED TO DEALERSHIP AS A SAFETY CONCERN AS I TOW A 16,000LB TRAILER FOR WORK. (ALONG WITH NOTICEABLE WHISTLE FROM TURBO, WHICH IS UNDENIABLE EVIDENCE OF DAMAGE TO TURBO) -FIRST DAY TOWING THROUGH MOUNTAINS "WITHOUT" EB WORKING PROPERLY, I ALMOST WRECK TWICE WITHIN 15 MILES, ALL DUE TO "WEAK EB" -AFTER MULTIPLE TRIPS TO DEALER, I AM CONSTANTLY TOLD "TRUCK DRIVES FINE, TRUCK EB IS WORKING" -ENOUGH RESEARCHING TURBO AND EB FUNCTION, I AM ABLE TO FINALLY GET INSURANCE & DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR TURBO UNDER CLAIM -AFTER REPAIR, TRUCK IS GIVEN BACK TO ME WITH NEW TURBO. EB IS STILL EXTREMELY WEAK, WHISTLE IS GONE, TORQUE AND TOW/HAUL FUNCTION HAVE NOW BEEN ALTERED AND COMPROMISED. -NOW WE HAVE 3 ISSUES WITH THE TRUCK: EXTREMELY WEAK EB / EXTREMELY WEAK TO NON-EXISTENT TOW/HAUL MODE / TORQUE EXTREMELY WEAK. (ALL FUNCTIONS THAT CAN BE CALIBRATED IN THE TRUCKS COMPUTER) -DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN HAVING MY $60,000 TRUCK HANDLED WITH COMPLETE NEGLIGENCE AND CARELESSNESS WITH PLACING REPAIRS IN HANDS OF A MECHANIC WITH 2 MONTHS' EXPERIENCE. -2ND DEALERSHIP NOW, WOULDN'T LISTEN ABOUT COMPUTER CONCERNS, REPLACED MY NEW TURBO INSTEAD. -WORDS BY SECOND DEALERSHIP "TRUCK IS WORKING AS DESIGNED". A TOW TRUCK THAT DOES NOT HAVE ITS "TOW/HAUL" ENGAGING IS NOT WORKING AS DESIGNED. "ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN" *TR

WHILE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND WOULD NOT SPEED UP. A POP UP IN THE CENTER INSTRUMENT PANEL SHOWED SERVICE THROTTLE POSITION, TOOK IT TO DEALER SAID I WAS DRIVING 2 FOOT. THEY SAID THIS HAPPENS WHEN ONE FOOT IS ON BRAKE AND OTHER ON FUEL PEDAL. TO ME THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN. I WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT THIS AND FROM READING OWNERS MANUAL THIS WAS NOT COVER IN IT. THIS SHOULD NOT OF HAPPEN FOR I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT BE IN THE SYSTEM. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN OUT OF THE SYSTEM COMPLETELY. I AM CONCERN NOW OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IF THIS DOES IT AGAIN WHILE PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC EVEN WHILE TRAFFIC IS PRETTY CLEAR. BUT IF IN A EMERGENCY THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS NOT ONLY FOR ME BUT FOR OTHER DRIVERS. EVERY ONE DOES NOT DRIVE THE SAME SO THIS SHOULD BE FIX.

THE NEW DODGE RAM EQUIPPED WITH CUMMINS DIESEL EXPERIENCE A DEAD PEDAL, OR PEDAL DELAY WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL 3/4 TO FULL THROTTLE. THIS POSES A SERIOUS RISK WHEN NEEDING TO GET OUT OF THE WAY, OR MOVE THE VEHICLE UNDER EMERGENCY CIRCUMSTANCES. THIS HAPPENS UNDER ALL CONDITIONS: STOPPED, ROLLING, UNDER ACCELERATION ETC. IF YOU PUSH THE PEDAL TOO FAR THE TRUCK WILL NOT RESPOND TO OPERATOR COMMANDS AND WILL TAKE 1.5-2 SECONDS TO START PICKING UP SPEED. THIS IS A SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED. THERE IS NOT EXCUSE FOR A VEHICLE NOT RESPONDING TO DRIVER INPUT. MANUFACTURE CLAIMS "TURBO LAG", THIS IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE. YOU CAN BUILD TURBO BOOST, MONITORED ON THE VEHICLE GAUGE, THEN PRESS THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, THE TRUCK WILL NOT RESPOND FOR 1.5 TO 2 SECONDS. PLEASE LOOK AT FURTHER INFORMATION ON THE CUMMINS FORUM BELOW, IT HAS NUMEROUS ARTICLES ABOUT THIS ISSUE. HERE AS A LINK TO JUST ONE OF THEM. HTTP://WWW.CUMMINSFORUM.COM/FORUM/2013-GENERAL-DISCUSSION/1836593-VERY-SLOW-THROTTLE-RESPONSE.HTML PLEASE, HELP FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED DUE TO THE INABILITY TO MOVE THE VEHICLE OUT OF HARMS WAY. THIS TSB SOMEWHAT ADDRESSES THE PROBLEM, BUT ONLY FIXES IT PARTIALLY, NOT TO THE POINT THAT IT IS SAFE. TSB 18-041-15 I BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURE KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE, BUT IS NOT FIXING IT DUE TO EMISSIONS RELATED PROGRAMMING ON THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE AFTERMARKET SOLUTIONS TO THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER THEY VOID THE MANUFACTURE WARRANTY, AND IM NOT WILLING TO LOSE MY WARRANTY ON A NEW VEHICLE. I WILL BE SUBMITTING ANOTHER ONE OF THESE FOR MY 2015 AS WELL, SINCE THEY BOTH HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR

THE INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE CONTROL IN THE 2015 RAM TRUCKS DOES NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE BRAKE CONTROL TO THE TRAILER BRAKES. I TRADED IN A 2013 RAM 3500 AND THE INTEGRATED CONTROLLER ALLOWED ME TO SET UP THE BRAKES SO I COULD LOCK THE TIRES UP, THEN I WOULD BACK THE VOLTAGE DOWN SLIGHTLY FROM THERE TO GET MAXIMUM BRAKING PERFORMANCE FROM THE TRAILER. WITH THE NEW TRUCK, THERE WASN'T THE ABILITY TO GET MUCH BRAKING AT ALL. DEALERS ARE TELLING THOSE WITH THE SAME TRUCKS, THAT IT IS WORKING AS DESIGNED AND THERE ISN'T A PROBLEM. MONDAY, AUGUST 17TH, I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN, AND BEGAN BRAKING. THE TRAILER BRAKES WERE INEFFECTIVE DUE TO THE CONTROLLER AND I COULDN'T STOP IN TIME. I ENDED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION BEFORE I COULD STOP. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO CROSS TRAFFIC SO THERE WAS NO CRASH. THE TRAILER WEIGHS 2020 POUNDS EMPTY, AND IT WAS HAULING APPROXIMATELY 1400 POUNDS. THE TRAILER CONTROLLER WAS SET AT LIGHT ELECTRIC, 7.5. ( L LATER TESTED HEAVY ELECTRIC AND IT STILL DOESN'T PROVIDE ADEQUATE BRAKING). AFTER, I TESTED THE TRAILER BRAKES (THAT I ALREADY KNEW WERE GOOD) ON ANOTHER TRUCK, AND THEY WORKED PERFECTLY. AGAIN, THE INTEGRATED CONTROLLER ON MY 2013 RAM WORKED GREAT, BUT THE NEW ONES SIMPLY DO NOT ALLOW THE TRAILER BRAKES TO WORK PROPERLY REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH YOU TURN UP THE VOLTAGE. I CAN NOT ADJUST IT TO GET THE BRAKES TO PROVIDE SIGNIFICANT BRAKING FROM THE TRAILER. RAM IS SAYING THAT THERE ISN'T A PROBLEM, BUT A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH WOULD SAY THAT THERE IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY ISSUE, THAT IF LEFT UNRESOLVED WILL ABSOLUTELY LEAD TO INJURIES OR FATALITIES.

THIS IS A PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE THERE IS NO METHOD TO KNOW, IN ADVANCE, THE FACTORY INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE MODULE (ITBM) WILL FAIL TO PROVIDE FULL VOLTAGE TO THE ELECTRIC TRAILER BRAKES I ATTACHED MY 13,000 POUND FIFTH WHEEL TRAILER TO MY TRUCK AND FOLLOWING THE ITBM SETUP STEPS IN THE OWNERS' MANUAL, THE RESULTS WERE AS EXPECTED. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS OR INDICATORS SIGNALING AN ISSUE WITH THE ITBM'S ABILITY TO APPLY THE TRAILER'S ELECTRIC BRAKES. ON TYPICAL CITY/URBAN DRIVING THE BRAKING EFFORT FROM THE TRAILER WAS AS EXPECTED. ONCE I ENTERED A MORE RURAL SETTING AND ROADWAY SPEEDS INCREASED TO 50 MPH I DISCOVERED, AS I APPROACH A FAST CHANGING TRAFFIC LIGHT, HARD BRAKING THE TRUCK DID NOT SEND ENOUGH BRAKING SIGNAL TO THE TRAILER AND AS A RESULT I WAS PUSHED WELL INTO THE INTERSECTION. FORTUNATELY THE INTERSECTION WAS CLEAR AND NO INJURY OR ACCIDENT RESULTED..I VERIFIED WITH DEXTER AXLES, THE AXLES USED ON MY TRAILER, THE MAXIMUM BRAKING EFFORT FROM THEIR ELECTRIC BRAKES IS 12 VOLTS AT 3 AMPS PER WHEEL. I MEASURE THE VOLTAGE GOING INTO MY TRAILER BRAKES WITH THE ITBM SET TO MAXIMUM GAIN, HEAVY ELECTRIC AT 6.8 VOLTS, THE EXPECTED VOLTAGE WAS 11.9 VOLTS. I DID AN AB TEST USING ANOTHER RAM TRUCK WITH THE ITBM AND MEASURED THE EXPECTED VOLTAGE ON THE TRAILER BRAKE LINE...IT IS IMPORTANT TO REALIZE THERE ARE NO INTERNAL ITBM MECHANISMS TO DETECT THIS CONDITION SINCE THERE WERE NO DTCS SET WHEN I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER....UPDATED 09/28/15 *BF *CN
