2014 RAM 1500 — Complaint #2081342
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about Other/I am not sure filed April 8, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2081342 (ODI reference 11653499) concerns a 2014 RAM 1500 and was filed on April 8, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on March 19, 2025. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as other/i am not sure, 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 other/i am not sure 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 2014 RAM 1500 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The Foam protector that goes on the head rest cracked and is crumbling. I contacted them about the issue but they said that warranty was over and they tried to sell me the same car seat for a discounted price. My sister had bought the same exact car seat and she had the same issue with the foam head rest. I believe the quality of the foam part that goes in the head rest is faulty, it shouldn't have cracked and crumbled. My child's safety was at risk, if i had not taken it apart to wash it I would have not noticed it. I believe these specific car seats are not safe for use.
