NHTSA Complaint #10584208 — 2014 RAM 1500

VEHICLE IS A 4X4 RAM 1500 EXPRESS WITH 5.7 HEMI AND 8-SPEED TRANSMISSION. I PURCHASED IT NEW. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED AT AROUND 200 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, ON THE THIRD DAY AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. IT STALLED WHEN APPROACHING A STOP SIGN NEAR MY HOME. IT DID NOT RESTART AND RUN WELL IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER, BUT AFTER 3 TRIES I WAS ABLE TO KEEP IT RUNNING AND AFTER THAT IT BEGAN TO RUN SMOOTHLY FOR THE REMAINING SHORT DISTANCE TO MY HOME. I WAS WORRIED THAT IT MAY BE A LOOSE GAS CAP, SO I REMOVED THE CAP AND RE-INSTALLED IT. THEN LESS THAN A WEEK LATER, THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS DURING THE SAME OUTING. FIRST TIME WAS IN A PARKING LOT, AND THE SECOND TIME WAS IN A BUSY INTERSECTION. IN EACH CASE, I WAS ABLE TO RE-FIRE AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE DID THE SAME THING AGAIN TWICE YESTERDAY. TODAY THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN NEAR MY HOME. EVERY STALL HAS BEEN WHEN SLOWING TO STOP OR TO MAKE A TURN. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH MY FAMILY RIDING IN A VEHICLE THAT STALLS UNEXPECTEDLY. IT IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON THIS FRIDAY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ILLUMINATED, AND THE DEALER HAS ALREADY INDICATED DURING A PHONE CONVERSATION THAT IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO DO MUCH IF THERE ARE NO OBD CODES TO READ. I HAVE CONTACTED OTHER DEALERS TO INQUIRE IF OTHER CUSTOMERS MAY BE HAVING A SIMILAR SITUATION. NONE HAVE HEARD OF THIS ISSUE IN THIS MODEL YEAR. *TR
