Suspension on other 1500 years
Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026.
What this problem usually is
Suspension complaints are mostly about noise and handling: a clunk over bumps, a car that pulls to one side, a ride that bounces or leans more than it used to. The more serious reports describe a part breaking or coming loose, and that's where the recalls in this group are concentrated.
What got replaced
Few of these reports name the part that was replaced.
Recalls and investigations
No recall on the suspension system covers the 2019 model year as of Oct 2, 2026.
When it happens
The middle half of failures fell between 9,255 and 60,000 miles, from the 16 reports that gave a mileage.
Is this a known problem?
The manufacturer has sent NHTSA 9 service bulletins or notices for the 2019 Ram 1500 that deal with this problem. Newest first.
Federal rules make a manufacturer send NHTSA a copy of any notice about a defect that goes to more than one dealer or owner. Most of these are service bulletins, the repair instructions manufacturers send to dealers. NHTSA generally leaves safety recall bulletins out of this file, and recalls are listed separately.

What owners wrote
“While driving on the highway the truck lowered to aero mode as it should. After awhile it lowered to entry mode but still said that it was in aero mode on the dash. This caused the handling of the vehicle to become very hard. Once I pulled over and got out I noticed the truck was at a dangerous low level. I tried raising it and the I got the service air suspension warning.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 1 of 33 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
