TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 RAM 1500. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DALLAS DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (11550 LYNDON B JOHNSON FWY, DALLAS, TX 75238, (214) 327-9361) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MANIFOLD BOLTS DETACHED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS HAVE BROKEN OFF RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE. LEFT SIDE BROKE OFF IN 2015 AND WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. STATEMENT OF DEFECTIVE BOLTS WAS THE REASON AND WHEN ASKED TO REPLACE BOTH SIDES OF THE ENGINE WITH THE NEW BOLTS, THE DEALERSHIP STATED THEY WERE GOOD BOLTS. DEALERSHIP DETECTED THE EXHAUST LEAK AND BROKEN BOLT ON 5/09/18.

RAM 1500 2012 5.7 HEMI BEGAN WITH A "SQUEAK" COMING FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE ENGINE/BELL HOUSING. DIAGNOSED AS A CAMSHAFT/LIFTER PROBLEM. ENGINE ONLY HAS 77749 MILES. UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE HEMI.

INFAMOUS HEMI TICKING; ON COLD START THERE'S A PRONOUNCED TICKING THAT GOES AWAY AFTER ABOUT 15 MIN OF RUNNING. FOUND EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLT HAD SHEERED; HAD IT REPLACED WITH NEW BOLTS AND GASKET BUT THE TICKING IS STILL THERE. MECHANICS SAY THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE HOWEVER THE TICKING IS RIDICULOUSLY ANNOYING. READ THAT IT MAY BE EXHAUST LEAK HOWEVER, NOTHING CAN BE FOUND THAT NEEDS REPAIR. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR NOW.

I'VE A TICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE MANIFOLD FOR YEARS. I WENT TO DODGELAND IN COLUMBIA, SC AND WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG. HOWEVER I READ MANY POST CONCERNING THE TICKING AND RECALL. IT WAS HAPPENING ON START UPS AND WOULD GO AHEAD, BUT NOT ITS TICKING ALL THE TIME.

2012 RAM1500 - 74,250 MILES. STARTED ON 3/5 - GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY TO GAS UP. FILLED IT AND THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. BELIEVED IT TO BE "GAS CAP" ISSUE, SINCE I JUST GASSED UP. BROUGHT IT TO A AUTO PARTS STORE FOR A QUICK CHECK. P303. ENGINE MISFIRE CYLINDER 3. INITIALLY REPLACED IGNITION COIL, THEN SPARK PLUGS, NO CHANGE IN ISSUE. EACH TIME THE LIGHT CAME ON, I WAS DRIVING ABOVE 50 MPH. TAKEN IT AGAIN TO TWO AUTO PARTS STORES, AND EACH GAVE THE SAME ERROR CODE OF P303. TAKEN IT CAR REPAIR CENTER, THEY DIAGNOSED, ENGINE MISFIRE TOO, BUT ALSO SEEN IN OTHER CYLINDERS. REPLACED ALL IGNITION COILS AND ALL SPARK PLUGS, SAME ISSUE. CLEANED FUEL SYSTEM 2X BELIEVING IT WAS CARBON BUILD UP, STILL CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, SAME ERROR CODE. ADVISED BY SHOP TO CONTACT RAM TRUCKS, NOT THE DEALER TO ASK FOR ASSISTANCE,...

2012 DODGE RAM 1500 EXPRESS 2WD / 2 DOOR TRUCK. ON MARCH 21, 2018 AT 9:00 AM, I HAD A FIRE IN THE CENTER OF MY STEERING WHEEL BY MY AIRBAG. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY ENTIRE ELECTRICAL WIRE HARNESS CAUGHT ON FIRE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WILL ONLY COVER NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I BELIEVE THIS IS A ASSEMBLY AND MANUFACTURING ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES NOW MADE IN MEXICO BY INEXPERIENCE AND INCOMPETENT PEOPLE WORKING AT CHRYSLERS NEW MANUFACTURING PLANT FOR CHEAP FOREIGN SLAVE LABOR IN MEXICO. THE ENTIRE WIRE HARNESS FROM MY STEERING WHEEL ALL THE WAY TO MY ENGINE THROUGH THE FIRE WALL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED NOW COSTING ME WELL OVER $2200.00. THE MAIN WIRE HARNESS IS NOW A LOT THINNER WIRES AND NOT PROTECTED FROM COMING INTO...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 RAM 1500. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING IN THE PARK POSITION, THE ENGINE INADVERTENTLY SHUT OFF AND THE AIR BAG, THROTTLE CONTROL, TRAILER BRAKE, CHECK ENGINE, AND OTHER WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT, A CERTIFIED CHEVROLET INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUSE BLOCK OPENED UP AND CAUSED THE POWER TRAIN RELAY TO SHUT DOWN. THE FUSE BLOCK NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,730.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 RAM 1500. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE ENGINE SHOOK, WHICH CAUSED THE ENTIRE VEHICLE TO SHAKE. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (TEXAN DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM, 18555 EASTEX FREEWAY SERVICE RD, HUMBLE, TX 77338) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT CYLINDER FIVE MISFIRED.

CYLINDER 5 MISSFIRE-CAMSHAFT: CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 10 IN LOUISIANA. I NOTICED THAT THE POWER HAD REDUCED, FUEL ECONOMY DROPPED, AND THE ENGINE WAS SHAKING, THE ENTIRE TRUCK WAS SHAKING LIKE A TIRE WAS ABOUT TO BLOW OUT. AFTER EXITING AND FINDING THE NEAR O'REILY, I WAS TOLD TO CHANGE THE SPARK PLUGS,AND IGNITION COIL #5 AS WELL AS THE FUEL INJECTOR. AFTER ALL THAT WAS REPLACED, THE LIGHT WAS STILL ON AND FLASHING THE SAME CODE. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO A NEARBY DEALERSHIP AND AFTER THEIR DIAGNOSTICS TEST WAS COMPLETE, THEY REPORTED BACK WITH REPLACING THE CAMSHAFT! THIS VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 100,000 MILES AND A 5.7 HEMI. IT WILL ALSO BE A MAJOR OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE DUE TO THE WARRANTY EXPIRING APRIL 2017. IT WILL HAVE TO BE FIXED BEFORE WE PUT IT BACK ON THE ROAD DUE TO THE...

ENGINE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY ON INITIAL START ATTEMPT AND DURING LOW SPEED GOING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS & ACCELERATING ON INTERSTATE ENTRANCE RAMPS. IMMEDIATE LOSS OF DRIVING CONTROL WITH LIMITED BRAKES AND MANUAL STEERING TO AVOID TRAFFIC. PLACING VEHICLE IN PARK AND IGNITION KEY TO OFF VEHICLE WOUD RESTART. RAM DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED REPLACING WIN MODULE AND I HAVE HAD NO REOCCURENCES SINCE, (45 DAYS). THEIR IS NO RECALL OUT FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL BUT IT HAS BEEN NOTED AS A PART FAILURE ON OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD AS DRIVING IS DIFFICULT REQUIRING ABOVE NORMAL ARM STRENGTH TO GET VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYLER CUSTOMER CARE AND AWAITING THEIR RESPONSE.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE FROM SPEEDS 0 - 40MPH A "WHIRLING/WHINING" NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS COMING FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE TRUCK AND IS ONLY HEARD WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE NOISE IS NOT PRESENT WHEN CAR IS PARKED OR STOPPED AT A LIGHT. I HAVE 160,000.00 MILES ON TRUCK AND IT HAS JUST STARTED MAKING THIS NOISE IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS. I SEE OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED ON ALL TRUCKS. WE HAVE JUST BOUGHT A 2017 RAM TRUCK AND THAT WILL BE OUR THIRD RAM TRUCK AND AM UPSET THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM YET

IN THE MORNING WHEN ENGINE IS FIRST STARTED THEIR IS A KNOCKING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD FOR ABOUT 10 MIN AND THEN GOES AWAY. ALSO IF TRUCK SITS TOO LONG THE KNOCKING NOISE WILL HAPPEN AGAIN FOR ABOUT 10 MINS. 5.7 HEMI ENGINE. MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OWNERS REGARDING THIS NOISE AND CONCERNED THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR A KNOWN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN KNOWN TO THE DEALER AND GOVERNMENT FOR QUITE SOMETIME NOW.

TICKING SOUND COMING FROM EXHAUST MANIFOLD, ONLY WHEN ENGINE IS COLD, STILL CONTINUES WHEN WARMER NUT NOT AS NOTICEABLE.

HEMI TICK MANIFOLD GETS HOT EXPANDS BREAK MANIFOLD BOLTS, ACTED UP ON HIGHWAY IN CONSTRUCTION ZONE ALMOST HOT ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM LOSS OF POWER AND JERKING.

I HAVE BEEN HEARING A TICKING SOUND COMING FROM MY ENGINE THESE PAST FEW WEEKS. I LOOKED INTO THE MATTER AND HAVE FOUND ISSUES WITH THE MANIFOLD BOLTS THAT ARE BREAKING OFF AND CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. I CONTACTED DODGE OF GILROY TODAY AND THEY STATE THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANY ISSUES REGARDING THIS ENGINE HEMI 5.7. HOWEVER, AFTER LOOKING AT THIS WEBSITE, IT APPEARS THEY'RE MANY ISSUES. THIS NEEDS TO BECOME A RECALL, AS IT IS A DANGER OF EXHAUST FUMES ENTERING THE CAB.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2012 RAM 1500 MY TRUCK SEEMED TO LAG GOING UP HILL FROM ABOUT 10MPH UP TILL ABOUT 40 OR SO. LOOKED DOWN AT THE DASH AND NOTICED THAT THE TRUCK WAS SHOWING THAT IT WAS IN 4TH GEAR. TRIED USING THE STEPTRONIC SHIFTER TO PUT INTO A LOWER GEAR AND IT WOULD NOT SWITCH. PULLED OFF INTO A PARKING LOT AND TURNED OFF MY TRUCK AND WAITED A BIT AND THEN TURNED BACK ON AGAIN. SHIFTED INTO REVERSE WITH NO ISSUE BUT DRIVE WAS STILL SHOWING 4TH GEAR.

ENGINE TICKS AND LAGS/HESITATE UNDER THROTTLE RECEIVE ERROR CODE P0308, DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED A TUNE UP BUT DID NOT RESOLVE PROBLEM. STILL HESITATES UNDER THROTTLE. DID EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON-LINE AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE AND COSTLY TO CONSUMERS AND DANGEROUS. IN MY CASE, I WAS ENTERING A HIGHWAY WITH MY 2 KIDS. I WAS ON THE FRONTAGE ROAD GOING ABOUT 40 MPH AS I ENTERED THE ON RAMP OF THE FREEWAY TO GET TO THE SPEED LIMIT OF 60 MPH. WHEN I ACCELERATED THE ENGINE STARTED TO HESITATE AND ALMOST STALLED CAUSING THE VEHICLES ON THE FREEWAY TO SLAM ON HIS/HER BREAKS AND SWERVE TO GO AROUND ME. FORTUNATELY, THE CARS BEHIND ME DID NOT RAN INTO ME OR ANYONE ELSE CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT AS THIS OCCURRED DURING RUSH HOUR ON A MAJOR FREEWAY.

ENGINE IS MISSING ON ACCELERATION AT HIGH SPEED OR CLIMBING A HILL - CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON (ERROR CODE IS "CYLINDER 3 MISFIRE"). DEALER SAYS IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE HEAD DUE TO DAMAGED VALVE SPRINGS. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AT 112K MILES.

I'VE HAD MY 2012 RAM 1500 FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS NOW. IT JUST STARTED MAKING A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. FROM WHEN I START TO WHEN I TURN IT OFF. I'VE DONE MAY RESEARCH AND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS THIS ISSUE. I'M A DIE HARD RAM FAN. THIS NEEDS TO GET RECALLED.

LOUD TICKING FROM ENGINE POSSIBLE MANIFOLD. HAD THE TICKING FOR YEARS, BUT WAS TOLD BY DODEGLAND OF COLUMIBA SC THAT IT WAS NOT.

AFTER TOWING A BOAT, THE ENGINE DIED & UNDERWENT MAJOR WARRANTEED REPAIR IN 2016. ALSO IN 2016 THE FOLLOWING OCCURED: THE AC STOPPED WORKING, BATTERY WAS REPLACED BUT VEHICLE HAS DIED 3 TIMES SINCE REPAIRED & NEW BATTERY. MY 2007 RAM 1500 QUAD ALSO LOST AC AFTER 5 YEARS. THE LAST TIME BATTERY DIED, SO DID THE DEALER INSTALLED ALARM SYSTEM. IT'S FINE FOR 2-3 MONTHS THEN DIES.

AT 104,000 MILES, ENGINE CODE FOR CYLINDER #3 MISFIRE. 16 NEW PLUGS AND #3 COIL PACK DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. FURTHER TESTING REVEALED REVEALED A BAD LIFTER. ENGINE OVERHAUL PRODUCED A SEIZED ROLLER ON THE LIFTER THAT EVENTUALLY COMPLETELY WORE A LOBE OF THE CAMSHAFT. WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF LIFTERS, CAMSHAFT, VALVE SPRINGS, THE MECHANIC SHOP ALSO REPLACED 5 BROKEN EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS (ANOTHER KNOWN PROBLEM WITH 5.7L HEMI ENGINE). $4000 LATER I HAVE A SIGNIFICANT ENGINE OVERHAUL ON AN ENGINE WITH JUST 104,000 MILES THAT WAS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. 5W20 MOBILE 1 SYNTHETIC OIL USED AT ALL OIL CHANGES AT FACTORY RECOMMENDED INTERVAL, SINCE TRUCK WAS NEW.

CLICKING SOUND UNDER RIGHT SIDE OF ENGINE. ONLY DOES IT WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD..AFTER AROUND 30 SECONDS ITS GONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE TIMING CHAIN FRACTURED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE ENGINE FAILED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000.

THE LIFTERS ON THIS ENGINES IS GOING BAD, IM THINKING ON BUYING A NEW RAM BUT WITH THIS BAD ENGINE I DON'T THINK I WANT ONE MORE. RAM REALLY NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, IS VERY BAD YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOU ENGINE NEEDS OIL WHEN IT DOES THIS CLICKING OR IF IS YOUR LIFTERS.

FRONT LEFT AXLE IS SEIZED UP ON MY TRUCK. A TIRE COMPANY WAS GOING TO PUT A NEW HUB ON FOR ME AND THEY COULDN'T GET THE AXLE TO RELEASE THE HUB. ON ENGINE MY TRUCK IS TICKING FROM MANIFOLD.

ON THE 2012 DODGE RAM 1500 BIGHORN, TRUCKS THE BOLTS THAT SECURE THE MANIFOLD TO THE ENGINE WILL FAIL, CAUSING AN EXHAUST LEAK.. KNOW AS THE HEMI TRICK. MY TRUCK SEEM TO HAVE THIS ISSUE, AND SO I STARTED A LITTLE RESEARCH PROJECT TO FIND A SOLUTION, AND IN A MATTER OF MINUETS I FOUND NUMEROUS TRUCK OWNER REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN YOU TRY TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP FOR RESOLUTION, THEY JUST PRETEND THAT ITS THE FIRST TIME THEY EVER HEAR OF IT. THEN OFFER TO FIX IT FOR THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS... WHEN IT A KNOW DEFECT IN THE ENGINE.

RECALL TIPM ? FUEL PUMP AND TIPM WITH A COST OF $1,700 TO REPAIR AT DODGE DEALERSHIP. MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL?

TRUCK SHUTTING OFF AT RANDOM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD NEEDING TO RESTART ENGINE. YOU HIT A BUMP AND TRUCK SHUTS OFF VERY DANGEROUS LIFE TREATING. MANIFOLD BOLTS HAVE SNAPPED OFF INTO ENGINE. TRUCK SHIFTS TO 4TH GEAR AT RANDOM CAUSING A JERR AND SKID OF BACK TIRES COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL WHICH COULD LEAD TO DEATH OR INJURY

MY VEHICLE STARTED ACTING UP A FEW TIMES WHEN I WOULD GO TO START THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE WOULD TURN OVER AND THEN STALL OUT. I THOUGHT IT WAS STRANGE, BUT CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT. WHILE DRIVING DOWN AN ICE AND SNOW PACKED ROAD IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC MY VEHICLE STALLED OUT; LOST ALL POWER STEERING, BRAKES LOCKED UP, LIGHTS SHUT OFF, AND I ALMOST ENDED UP REAR-ENDING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME GOING 45 MPH. I PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN. SINCE THEN I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THE WIN MODULE NEEDED REPLACED ALONG WITH THE KEY FOB ($725) THAT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I SEE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I CALLED CHRYSLER HEADQUARTERS AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS...

TRUCK HAS 84K MILES AND SUDDENLY HAS P0303 CODE FOR MISFIRE. IMMEDIATELY TOOK TO MECHANIC. SO FAR VALVE AND LIFTER HAVE BEEN REPLACED, BUT PROBLEM STILL EXHISTS. MOST LIKELY A WORN DOWN CAM LOBE FROM THE BAD LIFTER, SO NOW IM WITHOUT A VEHICLEFOR AT LEAST 3 WEEKS THAT I STILL OWE 20K ON. I CANT BELIEVE THE PARTS QUALITY AND ENGINEERING ARE SO POOR THAT THIS TRUCK DOESNT EVEN HAVE 90K ON IT. TO TOP IT OFF, THE MANUFACTURER HAS STATED THERE ARE THOUSANDS ON BACK ORDER WHICH TELLS ME THIS IS A VERY VERY COMMON PROBLEM. I HAVE COME ACROSS MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS STATING THEY HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM WITH SUCH LOW MILES AND IRONICALLY OUR TRUCK IS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY.

TIPM FAILED TO WORK CORRECTLY RESULTING IN NO FUEL PRESSURE PERIODICALLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. ENGINE WOULD FAIL TO RUN. SOMETIMES IT WOULD BE OK AND THEN SOMETIMES THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RUN. RAM SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO LOCATE A NEW TIPM. THEY DIDNT HAVE ONE BECAUSE OF ALOT OF THESE HAD FAILED, SO THEYRE IN HIGH DEMAND. WHY ARENT THESE BEING RECALLED THEN??
