Consumer Description
The truck has 647 miles on it and is brand new, I just bought it from the dealer. The truck had been idling in my driveway for a few minutes before I left home, I was in my neighborhood, driving 25-30 MPH maximum. I came to a stop sign, stopped and then proceeded to turn left, which takes me down a hill. Approximately 1-2 seconds into the turn, the engine shut off completely, several lights went on the dash and the truck was proceeding downhill until at some point the brakes locked up, pushing me forward into the steering wheel. If anyone was infront of me I did not have control of the truck! The truck brakes were locked and I had to mess around starting it to get them to unlock, the battery indicator was lit and the check engine light was on. I was able to get to the truck restarted and took it to a pool parking lot area and shut it off completely. I was able to get it started again, this time the battery indicator went out and the check engine light stayed on. I have been reading online and see that many,, many people with the RAM 1500, most notably the etorque engine version are having the engine shut off with no warning, some at much higher speeds. I took it to the dealer, the "flashed" the computer, but also said the are ordering and replacing the computer which sits atop the etorque engine device. This is VERY concerning, especially because I see this has happened to others, and has been doing so for several years. I wanted to report this as to me, it seems like a Serious Safety Concern!
