Consumer Description

While driving slowly in stop & go traffic, the engine shuts off unexpectedly, often while the vehicle is moving at a slow speed (e-torque switching from 4 cylinders to 8 upon slight acceleration. The truck additionally applies the emergency brake and the shifter remains in Drive. I have to hit the 4 ways, turn the engine "off", turn the nob to Park, remove the emergency brake, restart the engine, turn nob to Drive, stop the 4 ways and continue driving. It is terrifying on busy city streets during rush hour! Recently, the truck almost stalled when approaching a red light that turned green, it "stumbled" and the entire dashboard blacked out. I've owned this truck since mid-July 2023 & this stalling has happened on five (5) occassions - July 2023, November 2023, May 2024 & twice March 2025. Twice in the last week that included the blacked out dashboard. The stalling is intermittent and neither I nor the dealership repair can duplicate the issue. This is exactly the same issue that the many other Ram 1500 e-torque owners report. I'm terrified that I will be rear-ended & cause a major crash.
