We had our vehicle serviced at the Olathe Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram service center between the dates of May 26, 2024 through June 27th, 2024 on 3 separate occasions due to following. Received truck back on June 17th with a blown air suspension after confirming that the air suspension was filled firm when brought the truck in due to an email received for a recall and when driving the vehicle, the power steering kicked in due to the battery terminal not being secured properly (confirmed by AAA technician). No vehicle lights were turned on during this. Returned truck on June 25th, 2024, received truck on June 26th, 2024 where diesel gas was spewing from my truck sitting idol in my driveway after driving it straight home from the service center. …

Tire size is 275/60R20 115T AT+. Regarding the set of tires purchased from Sam's Club via Pirelli, all 4 tires are dry rotted along the bead of each individual tire. The tires do not maintain pressure and the pressure drops significantly lower than the recommended PSI regarding environmental changes and ambient temperature in different regions. The manufacturer workmanship of the tire causes deflation in the tires which leads to different tread wear on the tires. I've contacted the manufacturer regarding the issue and they have not provided guidance to the merchant as a vendor to replace tires at no cost to the consumer submitting this report. I'm reporting this issue because Pirelli is not upholding their warranty in it's entirety.

8/18/18 at about 1:15 pm while traveling south on us 220 in the left lane in the city of williamsport pa during a cloudy but dry day at 55 MPH, the right front tire blew out for no apparent reason which disabled my vehicle and did approximately $4500 damage. Fortunately, there were no injuries. The tire was a Goodyear wrangler sr-a size 275-60-20. The tire was approximately 1 year old with 8/32 tread remaining at time of the blow out. I did not hit anything to cause the blowout. After the blow out, I pulled over the left side of the highway in the median to inspect the damage. I then limped the truck back to the right side of the road and into the grass to get to a safe location for me and my family. At that point, I proceeded to remove the tire and install the spare at which point it then started raining. I believe the safety risk was the Goodyear tire. …

While driving the vehicle home from, after hitting the speed limit of 65, the vehicle started to shimmy, side to side, and continued at a higher speed. I called the dealer, and returned the truck to have it serviced, but it did not help. I was told it was flat spots on the tires, and to give it some time. After almost 4000 miles, and 4 visits back for service, I was told there was nothing they could do. All the trucks ride the same. After further investigation, I found out through various forums, that a lot of people are having the same problem, and if the tires are changed out, the problem will go away. The dealer refused to change out the tires. The tires in question are Goodyear wrangler sr-a, size p275/60r20.

Dodge Ram steering recall alert- this same situation happened to me in my model 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 big horn. Recall needs to be extended the nut holding the steering knuckle and right control arm separated while driving. I felt a huge pop and jerk of the steering wheel. Luckily I was traveling at a low rate of speed. I took to suncoast Dodge dealer immediately, he said I was lucky I could if I was on the freeway which I was shortly before. He said he has never seen a nut fall off before, but it did and, could rolled and caused serious accident. I was charged for repair and picked up truck today 2/5 then saw recall for this exact situation released today by Chrysler Fiat, but my vehicle was not included.

2014 Ram 1500 driving at 48 MPH, tire has a catastrophic blowout. The tire blew from one side to the other in a straight line. Good thing this was on a two lane road and not on a interstate at 75 to 8o MPH here in texas is allowed. If this happened on a interstate I would not be here to write this. Now I have check with my tire dealer, he said this is not the first one he has seen. He sent this tire to Goodyear.then I googled this and more showed up.I think Goodyear should recall these wrangler p275/60 r20 sa and any other that this has happen to. Maybe Ram should go to some other tire for their reputation. I hope no one has been killed because of this tire failure. Picture included.

I believe our truck should be part of most of the recalls listed fo Ram trucks. Our tires are wearing on the outside, they won't fix. The transmission was replaced at twenty some thousands miles, and my wife being the primary driver said that when you come to a complete stop the truck sometimes jumps forward. The rear differential seal was replaced. I'm afraid that we might lose our wheels on the road. There is also a chemical smell coming from the engine that everyone can smell but the dealer. Currently working with Chrysler and been driving a rental for almost a month.

2014 Dodge Ram 1500 factory Goodyear tires blow out during interstate driving in hershey pa model OEM Goodyear wrangler 275/60r20 I was getting into I-83 at speed of 45mph when I heard a sound. And just down the road in I-83 when I was at speed of 60mph the tire sensor came up showing psi <17. These tires were rotated around 5K miles and nitrogen gas used. If I was driving at the speed of the traffic (>70mph) when the tire blow out took place it would have caused a major road accident. After it was taken for repair it showed a lateral blow out of the tire.
