The vgt actuator failed the truck only has 127000 miles on it ram extended the warranty for 2015 trucks but not 2016. The part to replace it from ram has almost doubled in a years time. It is now $2170. For this part whose internal computer components have failed. The files uploaded was just for the part. I can upload the repair cost when done. I am just trying to get everyone to see how corrupt these companies are becoming. They could have saved themselves some problems if they would just paid the $3000 to fix it this is a rough estimate.

Towing my trailer with my 2016 Ram 2500, at 48,000 miles I experienced complete turbo failure in heavy traffic at highway speeds. Power was reduced to minimums causing hazardous conditions. The "check engine" light illuminated. I maintained control and eventually had the codes scanned at both a local auto parts store and Larry Miller Dodge/Ram in Sandy, Utah. The codes identified were for the turbo actuator/turbo. Larry Miller said they could replace the actuator, but I'd be back in three weeks for the turbo replacement as well. They were three weeks out for labor. I contacted a local diesel repair shop who purchased the turbo and actuator from Larry Miller Dodge Ram and had it installed in a day. Subsequent to these repairs ($5,400.00) I have learned that MOPAR issued Warranty Bulletin D-22-06, dated March 16, 2022, for the same make and model as mine, only for the year 2015. My truck was built in 2015 and the parts and computer codes for failure are identical. This published warranty bulletin issued relief of a new extended warranty of 15 years /150,000 miles for the installed turbo actuator/turbo. Since mine failed at 48,000 miles, this could be a continuation of the aforementioned issue with the stated 2015 year failures. I was lucky I didn't create a traffic accident when this turbo system failed since it was sudden and violent when the loss of power occurred without warning. I'm asking you to probe or look at the facts that the issue with these Garrett turbos are still outstanding whether Doge/Ram/Fiat/Mopar wants to include them in their campaign. The danger is real. The costs to retired people, such as myself, is consequential and devastating. It is unfair there is no way of sending queries to the manufacturers to alert them of this condition. The only way to communicate is to talk to a person in India and the communication barrier is tremendously difficult as is the chance of getting any return on the days and weeks of attempts for resolution.

The service engine lamp came on. When the mechanic investigated, it was determined that the problem is identical to the Warranty Bulletin titled Cummins 6.7L Turbocharger Actuator - X99 Warranty Extension that pertains to the 2015 RAM 2500 pickup. My vehicle is a 2016 and there is no warranty extension, even though it is an identical problem. The vehicle was not drivable as is and I had to replace the Turbocharger Actuator. I am assuming that this is a known problem to Cummins and to RAM. There should be a Warranty Bulletin for the 2016 also.

It is known that the 2016 Ram crew cab 4x4 has exhaust leak problems. The bolts on the exhaust manifold will break and exhaust will escape the manifold causing extra heat to flow into the engine bay, and fumes to enter the cabin of the vehicle. carbon monoxide is colorless and orderless and causes headaches, nausea, dizziness, and even death if inhaled. The exhaust manifold leaks must be fixed.

We were driving our 2016 Ram in July 20, 2023 to Yakima, WA which is 200 miles away from our home. About 50 miles north of town, our check engine light came on and our power was reduced to a minimal speed. We cautiously drove to the next rest area and turned the engine off. We waited about 30 minutes, restarted the engine and continued to Yakima. We had the code checked and turned off at an Oreily's parts store. We drove it to an Independant diesel service center since the Ram dealership's schedule was 2 months out to look at it. After several hours and troubleshooting, the diesel technician determined that the Cumins Actuator and Turbo were failing. Each time they cleared the code and drove the truck, they could recreate the problem. They told us that it was the same problem that the 2015 Cumins Turbos & actuators were having. They said there is a chance that our truck was manufactured with the same parts as a 2015 Cumins. They were able to repair our truck and said that we should notify the NHTSA, Mopar and our local Ram dealer of the problem. Mopar told me there is no recall for this issue, so they cannot help. The local Ram dealer told me that since they did not do the repair, they cannot report the issue. Please help us as this was an expensive repair, not including the cost of being standed out of town for days. Our Ram only has 39,000 miles and is like new, always garaged and drove for pleasure. How can we get this investigated or reimbursed?

This message is in regards to Static NHTSA Bulletin 09-005-22 / D- 22- 06 Dated March 16, 2022. The above listed warranty extension extends Ram 2500 Cummins Turbo Diesel Model year 2015 to 150,000 miles or 15 years if code U010C is indicated on MIL. My truck meets all above criteria but is a model year 2016. However, there is no changes in mechanicals between the 2015 and 2016 model year. My truck, at 114,000 miles just indicated this issue and the estimated cost of repairs is over 2,000 dollars. Considering that this has already been a widespread notable issue with this truck and engine, my hopes is to include 2016 model years in this extension. Thank you.

I was driving my truck on the freeway pulling a loaded stock trailer. The truck suddenly down shifted into fourth gear and the engine RPM’s maxed out! I almost crashed the truck because the momentum of the trailer pushed the truck sideways on the freeway. I had to avoid traffic and get to the shoulder. Truck would not shift out of fourth gear and truck shifted into 4WD low also on its own. Had truck towed to dealers ship and was told a shift solenoid went out. Because of that they now have to change the torque converter and replace the transmission from the damaged it caused. It is unknown if it damaged any of the engine components at this time or any other parts of the drivetrain. Now I’m stuck paying for a transmission because Dodge didn’t put a safety backup into their system to prevent this in case of a failure. I see that I am not the first person it’s happened to by reading the power train comments for this year truck.

Engine Fan / Radiator Shroud. During hot weather and engine temperature, the engine fan engaged. Due to the high ambient, I believe the radiator shroud was hot and the material was soft, it became deformed under the vacuum created by the fan cause it to interfere with the engine fans path of rotation. The interference caused the fan and shroud to shred each other sending shrapnel in all directions, including into the back side of the radiator, engine compartment. Plastic debris was found on top of the valve cover, battery, radiator, exhaust manifold. This problem has been reported by numerus online forms. This failure was inspected by the dealer and I was informed it was not under warranty, but drivable and safe. Their recommendation however was to replace the fan, shroud and radiator. However, they have seen cases with far worse damage causing catastrophic failure of the radiator leaving the vehicle stranded

I feel I my complain is on par with so many others with a newer ram diesel. The dead pedal. I have nearly been hit more than 5 times now on several....several occasions due to no immediate acceleration at a light crossing an intersection, or going on the highway, switching lanes and trying to accelerate again. The delay in throttle response is the worst I have ever seen in a vehicle. My wife refuse to drive my "new" truck with our kids for this reason. I had my local dealer check it out and they said its normal to have such a bad delay, even said "dodge dropped the ball on this one". I have had friends and family comment on how bad the delay/lag is! I am very disheartened by this to the point that I am now pricing out a 2017 f-350. We are purchasing a new toy hauler and in no way would I hook it to my 2016 ram diesel due to the throttle delay/lag. This is my 4TH dodge truck and to switch brands has been a major issue for me. I test drove a new ford f-250 (to be fair) and a f-350 dually and the take-off was insanely different. Shame on you dodge for forcing me into this decision, but my family's safety is more important than brand loyalty. I hope this resonates with someone in a high enough position to actually do something about this, and not let me complaint just fall the wayside.

Dead accelerator pedal. If driving with steady pedal and let up on accelerator pedal and then step back on the accurate, the truck doesn't move/no response for 5-10 seconds, then the truck speeds off. Happens numerous times. Also if at a stop and need to have full power to get across a 4 lane highway/or make a rapid left turn, you are a sitting duck because the pedal doesn't respond.

This truck has excessive torque management. It can also be described as dead pedal. If you press the accelerator pedal you can expect a serious delay before any power is transmitted to the wheels and this problem is magnified if you have just applied throttle, let off and immediately need the vehicle to accelerate such as when merging or crossing traffic.

Today I had a close call. Cruising empty, not towing, someone pulled out right in front of me on the highway. Got on the brakes. Had a good opening in the next lane. Pushed down on the gas peddle and started shifting lanes. The truck wouldn't accelerate, not even a little. After what seemed like 2-3 seconds it started to accelerate, and by then the car behind me was getting very close to my rear bumper. I didn't push the pedal to the floor but maybe I should have. Anyway, I'm going to the dodge dealer and having a formal note put into my file about the problem. Have had the truck 2 weeks. Not happy and this could be very dangerous.

This is a big safety concern. My 2016 ram has major throttle delay. It becomes a safety concern when I'm pulling out into traffic, let off the accelerator and get back on it and it waits 1.5 to 2 seconds before the computer receives the command to give throttle. I have had one instance where I was proceeding to change lanes on the interstate and give it throttle but it didn't respond and then I was a sitting duck because my brand new truck didn't want to wake up and go. This is a known problem that is very well complained about by many ram owners and it's only a matter of time before this will get someone either hurt or killed as a result.

The road was pitch black. Without any warning the engine lost power and all electrical. Headlights went dark dash board, etc. Needless to say I was panicked and managed somehow to make it to the right shoulder. After getting to the shoulder emergency flashers would not work everything was dead. Just as I was considering getting out of the vehicle power came back on. I put on flashers and after I calmed down returned to the road. The next 200 miles were uneventful. I was scared to drive after dark after such an incident.

Everything else has power to it (radio, lights, etc work) has happened 4 times, 3 in a row, spent 2 days at dealer and they couldn't find anything wrong. Happened the 4TH time and I have it on video. Its going back to the dealer on monday for them to try again. Chrysler dodge is aware of it, and hasn't called to speak with me or returned my phone calls, its been 2wks.
