Consumer Description
ENGINE STALLS AND THE EMERGENCY BREAK ENGAGES WHILE AT A STOP. THE TRUCK (A 2020 RAM 1500 LIMITED, 5.7 HEMI E-TORQUE) HAS ABOUT 700 MILES ON IT AND THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 8 TIMES. THE FIRST 3, 4 TIMES THE DASH MESSAGE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THE HOOD BEING OPENED (IT WASN'T). THE LAST COUPLE OF TIMES THE DASH MESSAGE SAYS SOMETHING LIKE ...SERVICE NOT AVAILABLE. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO TAKE A PHOTO BECAUSE THE MESSAGES DISAPPEAR RATHER QUICKLY AND I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT RE-STARTING THE VEHICLE ASAP BECAUSE I'M STUCK IN TRAFFIC WITH CARS BEHIND ME. THE TRUCK RE-STARTS AS NORMAL AND I'M ON MY WAY. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO RHYME OR REASON WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I COULD GO SEVERAL DAYS AND NOTHING HAPPENS, ALL SEEMS NORMAL, YOU JUST DON'T KNOW WHEN THIS BRAND NEW VEHICLE WILL STALL ON YOU. YESTERDAY IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO ME ON THE FREEWAY WHEN COMING TO A STOP. ON THE FREEWAY!, HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. THANK YOU.
