2015 RAM 1500 — Complaint #1837557
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL filed August 31, 2022
NHTSA complaint #1837557 (ODI reference 11482242) concerns a 2015 RAM 1500 and was filed on August 31, 2022. The owner reports the failure occurred on November 13, 2020. The vehicle had 105,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Arizona based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as vehicle speed control:accelerator pedal, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same RAM 1500 cohort independently describe similar vehicle speed control:accelerator pedal failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2015 RAM 1500 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
