1ST PROBLEM....STEERING COLUMN RATTLES LOUDLY IN-BETWEEN 45 AND 60 MPH AND AT SPEEDS BELOW 10MPH. TRUCKS FRONT END GRINDS WHEN MAKING SLOW SPEED RIGHT HAND TURNS. ALSO TRUCK LURCHES, GRINDS AND RATTLES THE ENTIRE FRONT END SLOWING DOWN OR BACKING UP AT SLOW SPEEDS....THIS HAPPENS WHEN BRAKES ARE NOT BEING APPLIED. SOMETIMES WHEN I DRIVE THE TRUCK THE STEERING WHEEL STAYS OFF CENTER TO THE RIGHT AND PULLS VERY HARD TO THE RIGHT. CHRYSLER SAYS IT POSSIBLE THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING RACK BUT THEY DONT HAVE A FIX. GETS WORSE ALMOST EVERY DAY. 2ND PROBLEM....I HAVE NOTICED THE TRUCK HAS MARKS WHERE THE KNUCKLE AND THE LOWER CONTROL ARM ARE HITTING EACH OTHER. I UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR STEERING STOPS BUT THESE ARE NOT STEERING STOP HITS. THESE PARTS ARE STRUCTURAL PARTS OF THE TRUCK THAT ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO HIT. BOTH SIDES ARE DOING THIS AND I DO NOT FEEL THE TRUCK IS SAFE WITH THIS ISSUE AND IT HAS CAUSED STRESSED AREAS ON THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK. THIS COULD CAUSE PARTS TO FAIL AND HAVE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES AT ANY SPEED THE TRUCK IS GOING IF THEY DECIDE TO FAIL. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES AND WAS JUST DROPPED OFF AGAIN TODAY. THEY SAID THEY MAY HAVE TO REPLACE THE PARTS THAT ARE HITTING...BUT THEY ARE THE SAME PARTS AND IT WILL DO THE SAME EXACT THING AGAIN. THEY GAVE ME A 2019 RAM TO DRIVE AS A LOANER AND THIS TRUCK DOESNT HAVE THE AIR SUSPENSION LIKE MINE DOES. I INSPECTED UNDER THE TRUCK AND FOUND THE SAME EXACT ISSUE ON THIS TRUCK. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER HAS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS THAT STARTED WITH THE DESIGN AND THEY ARE NOT TAKING CARE OF THE ISSUE. I HAVE A $62,000 DOLLAR TRUCK I DO NOT FEEL IS SAFE AND I AM NOT GETTING ANSWERS TO CORRECT THESE ISSUES. THE DATE BELOW IS ESTIMATED WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE FIRST TIME. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH NO RESOLVE FROM CHRYSLER

I LET MY SON OFF AT TSC DOOR, TURNED TO PARK, AND BAM!!, LOUD NOISE AS IF I HIT CONCRETE. I PROCEEDED TO MOVE FORWARD, TO ONLY HAVE MY TRUCK VEER TO THE LEFT, BUMPING UP NEXT TO POLE. I REVERSED SLIGHTLY AND MY LEFT FRONT SIDE WENT DOWN. I STOPPED. GOT OUT AND SEEN MY FRONT LEFT TIRE DOWN INWARD, FOUND A BROKEN PIECE UNDER THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK. CALLED MY INSURANCE SF, WAS TOLD TO CALL CHRYSLER BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY. CHRYSLER CONTACTED. TRUCK WAS TOWED TO NEAREST CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. THIS OCCURED APRIL 9TH, 2019. I JUST BOUGHT THE TRUCK JAN. 4TH, 2019. THE BROKEN PIECE IS THE KNUCKLE TO THE SPINDLE, MY STEERING WAS GONE. IT SAT AT THE DEALERSHIP UNTIL APRIL 26TH, 2019. HAVING BEEN SEEN BY 3 CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVES, 2 OF WHICH DEEMED THE PART DEFECTIVE, THE 3RD DEEMED IT MY FAULT FOR HITTING THE POLE, DENYING MY CLAIM. STATE FARM NOTIFIED AND FILED A CLAIM AS COLLISION?? TRANSFERRED TRUCK TO COLLISION CENTER TO START REPAIRS ON MAY 8TH,2019. STATE FARM WILL NOT PAY FOR DEFECTIVE SPINDLE, STATES CHRYSLERS RESONSIBILTY. CHRYSLER DENIES THAT SPINDLE IS DEFECTIVE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!! I WAS LUCKY IN THAT IT BROKE IN A PARKING LOT AND NOT ON THE ROAD. THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE AND MAY END UP A FATALITY.

These vehicles are being recalled to address a defect that could prevent the cruise control system from disengaging. If, when using cruise control, there is a short circuit within the vehicle's wiring, the driver may not be able to shut off the cruise control either by depressing the brake pedal or manually turning the system off once it has been engaged, resulting in either the vehicle maintaining its current speed or possibly accelerating.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: If the vehicle maintains its speed or accelerates despite attempts to deactivate the cruise control, there would be an increased risk of a crash.

Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the software, and perform a software flash on the engine or powertrain control module, free of charge. The recall began June 4, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Note: Owners are advised to stop using cruise control until the software update has been performed.

NHTSA investigations

EA23001 · High Pressure Fuel Pump Failure

Opened Mar 17, 2023 · No close date supplied

Status: open (inferred from source dates) · Fuel System, Diesel:delivery:fuel Pump

The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened PE21-021 on October 14, 2021, to investigate incidents alleging a stall/loss of motive power as a result of high-pressure fuel pump failures in certain model year (MY) 2019-2020 Ram 2500, 3500, 4500, and 5500 heavy duty trucks equipped with 6.7L Cummins turbodiesel engines. During the investigation, ODI sought to determine if the related defect allegation was limited in scope to the recalled population. After review of information request response materials from both FCA and BMW, NHTSA determined that sufficient information to identify a comprehensive recall population could not be produced by FCA and BMW.During the investigation FCA filed recalls 22V406, 22E048, 22V767, and 22E087 which include vehicles not identified in the initial subject population by ODI. ODI also received recall 21V586, involving loss of motive power due to failed CP4 fuel pumps on certain BMW manufactured vehicles. An information request letter response received from BMW indicated that failed pumps on their vehicles were caused by an interaction between pump internal components and US market diesel fuel, leading to increased slip and eventual particle-generating wear surface. Additional work will be done to identify whether a similar root cause is associated with the FCA recalled population and if similar wear dynamics occur on pumps supplied to vehicle manufacturers other than those included in the recalled population.ODI has upgraded this investigation to an EA in order to 1) determine engineering specifications of internal pump components that are correlated with pump failure leading to loss of motive power or other safety related hazards, 2) identify vehicle populations equipped with alleged defective pump variants, 3) assess if vehicles equipped with alleged defective pump variants result in an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety and 4) gather and review any other relevant information related to high pressure fuel pump failure associated with the subject populations of recalls 21V586, 21V880, 21E094, 22V406, 22E048, 22V767, and 22E087.Review of the above information will allow NHTSA to confirm root cause and recall remedy viability, and identify and evaluate vehicle populations equipped with pump components that may pose an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety.The ODI reports cited above can be reviewed at: http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/owners/SearchNHTSAID using the following complaint identification numbers: 11257550, 11351441, 11361603, 11361616, 11365300, 11365426, 11365858, 11366401, 11372337, 11373793, 11374797, 11376793, 11377871, 11378173, 11384377, 11386063, 11387018, 11399710, 11402550, 11415339, 11418868, 11418870, 11427075, 11434276, 11436807, 11437226, 11437249, 11437273, 11437292, 11437294, 11437394, 11437399, 11437403, 11437405, 11437423, 11437528, 11437565, 11437579, 11437580, 11437590, 11437679, 11437744, 11437781, 11437842, 11437993, 11438006, 11438008, 11438121, 11438138, 11438155, 11438392, 11438629, 11439359, 11439879, 11440397, 11443030, 11446542, 11448163, 11453556, 11458918, 11460558, 11469337
