What owners report
I am reporting a suspected odometer fraud involving a 2014 Ram 2500 Laramie 4WD with a 6.4L HEMI engine that was advertised for sale for $17,200.

I verified this discrepancy using two separate sources and decided not to purchase the vehicle. The tru
On September 30, 2026, a Ram dealership completed the Emissions Recall 67A / VB6 software flash on my vehicle. Following the precise instructions listed in the official 67A Recall Owner Notification, I submitted a request for reimbursement for an out-of-pocket NOx sensor replacement that I paid for on March 4, 2022, prior to the recallâs release.

Drag link recall for my 2014 Ram 2500 was performed in 2019 and failed in 2024 causing the steering component to became loose while driving. When I had it "re-fixed" by Folsom Lake Dodge and Chrysler dealership they re-welded it without aligning the steering column so my steering wheel has been off ever since(not centered). This needs to be fixed not band aided.
