The Ram pickup (marketed as the Dodge Ram until 2010) is a full-size pickup truck manufactured by Stellantis North America (formerly Chrysler Group LLC and FCA US LLC) and marketed from 2010 onwards under the Ram Trucks brand. The current fifth-generation Ram debuted at the 2018 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan, in January of that year.

Previously, Ram was part of the Dodge line of light trucks. The name Ram was first used in 1981 model year Dodge Trucks in October 1980, following the retiring and rebadging of the Dodge D series pickup trucks as well as B-series vans, though the company had used a ram's-head hood ornament on some trucks as early as 1933.

Ram trucks have been named Motor Trend magazine's Truck of the Year eight times; the second-generation Ram won the award in 1994, the third-generation Ram heavy-duty won the award in 2003, the fourth-generation Ram Heavy Duty won in 2010 and the fourth-generation Ram 1500 won in 2013 and 2014, and the current fifth-generation Ram pickup became the first truck in history to win the award three times, winning in 2019, 2020, and 2021.

Common Dodge 150 problems

Dodge 1500 cars are known for several common problems that affect their reliability and performance. Here are some of the most commonly reported issues by Dodge 1500 owners:

  • Low Mileage Engine Blow-Outs: Some Dodge 1500 owners have reported engine blow-outs at low mileage, which can be a significant safety concern and lead to expensive repairs.
  • Rusting: Dodge 1500 cars are prone to rusting, particularly in areas where salt is used on the roads during the winter months. This can lead to structural issues and affect the car's appearance.
  • Wobbly Front End: Dodge 1500 cars have been reported to have a wobbly front end, which can affect the car's handling and lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Dashboard Issues: The dashboard in Dodge 1500 cars is prone to cracking, which can affect the car's appearance and potentially lead to further damage if not addressed.
  • Exhaust Manifold Bolts: Dodge 1500 cars with 3.7L V6 engines and 4.7L V8 engines have exhaust manifold bolts that are prone to breaking. The standard fix is to replace the exhaust manifold gaskets, which only cost about $15-$20.
  • Coolant Leaks: Dodge 1500 cars from 1994-2010 have been reported to have coolant leaks, which can cause the engine to overheat and lead to further damage if not addressed.
  • TIPM Issues: The Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) in Dodge 1500 cars can malfunction, causing several electrical issues, including airbags not deploying, faulty A/C systems, coolant fans not operating, and power windows not working.
  • Body Structure Issues: Dodge 1500 cars have been reported to have body structure issues, including faulty lock mechanisms, defective paint jobs, rust buildup, and bumper holes that are drilled too large.
  • Defective TRW Crash Sensors: Dodge 1500 cars with certain ACUs may be affected by electric overstress, which can disable the airbag deployment and pose a significant safety risk.

These common problems can affect the reliability and performance of Dodge 1500 cars, and it's essential to address them promptly to avoid further damage and ensure the safety of the vehicle's occupants.
