2015 RAM 1500 — Complaint #2064421
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:CRANK/CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR filed February 11, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2064421 (ODI reference 11641926) concerns a 2015 RAM 1500 and was filed on February 11, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on February 7, 2025. The vehicle had 160,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Virginia based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as engine and engine cooling:engine:crank/camshaft position sensor, 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 engine and engine cooling:engine:crank/camshaft position sensor 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.
Complaint Description
The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while his wife was driving 40 MPH, the vehicle started to stall and started running rough. The contact's wife turned off the vehicle; however, while attempting to restart the vehicle, the vehicle failed to restart. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and was diagnosed with crankcase position sensor failure. The contact and the independent mechanic believed that the failure was connected to NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V475000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). The contact stated that the vehicle had previously been repaired under the recall. The local dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not repaired because the vehicle was no longer under recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.
