Lot 3C6JR7AT8EG148919: 2014 RAM 1500 Express

The 2014 RAM 1500 Express has a few well-documented weak spots. Most owners report:

1. Air-suspension failures—compressor or bags leak, especially in cold weather.
2. 8-speed automatic shudder or harsh shifts; software updates and fluid changes usually help.
3. 5.7 L Hemi cam/lifter wear that can cause misfires and ticking; repairs are expensive if the cam is scored. NHTSA issued 17 recalls for the 2014 trucks (tailgate, transmission, airbags, etc.). Consumer Reports ranks the ’14 as the least reliable 1500 model year, but drivetrain longevity is solid if the above issues are addressed.
