2013 RAM 1500 Power Train Problems

And has not!! did so I have a 2013 Ram 4x4 with only 90k miles on my truck this is the same problem I'm having Stellantis has issued several major recalls for vehicles experiencing simultaneous illumination of the ABS, brake, and traction control (ESC) lights. These issues typically stem from defective software or hardware within the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) control module. Major Recalls (2024–2026) Ram 1500 (2019, 2021–2024): Nearly 1.5 million trucks were recalled worldwide due to a software malfunction in the ABS control module that can inadvertently disable the Electronic Stability Control (ESC). Jeep Grand Cherokee & Dodge Durango (2018–2019): Approximately 207,000 SUVs were recalled because a brake control computer could falsely read brake pressure, disabling ABS/ESC and causing brake lights to stay on....

Failure of all steering wheel controls. with random cruise control suddenly activating ...transmission gear control self activation (will drop into lower gear causing driver to fly forward and vehicle behind to take evasive action). radio changes channels by itself. i found info that lead me to believe it was a clock spring issue. was taken to dealer. they diagnosed it as a steering wheel harness that had all the wires pulled out of the plug..800 to repair a 20 dollar wire harness... next drive after repair. buttons all worked again but radio still changing channels..cruise intermittent..gear dropping by itself still..almost rear ended again..back to dealer just to get told they could not do anything for a couple weeks..they are lucky this was not in inter on ice.... original symptoms could not change the display..stuck on tire pressure screen.. no phone control. no radio control. no cruise control , no gear...

Power steering went out

Hello, I'm filing a complaint against the Dothan, AL Ram dealership due to recalls that were never performed. I bought the truck on 7/12/2021 from a third party. I noticed this particular Ram had 12 recalls so I took it in to the Dothan, AL Dodge dealership to have them repaired. They had the truck for 2 weeks and nothing was repaired. Nothing at all. I lost 2 back pack blowers because of the faulty tailgate latch. I had to take the tailgate from my 02 Ram off and put it on the 2013. That's just one incident, there are quite a few and I've spent countless amount of money and time fixing this truck because of the recalls that were never performed. I need an Inspector to see this, it's ridiculous. When I took the truck in for the recalls it had 101,000 miles, a cold air intake, and...

Truck will stall out pulling out in traffic with no signs of a problem. It happened to me today with my kid in the truck. This is unacceptable. This trucks are to expensive to have this. It also will surge and try to go without foot on gas. This is totally unsafe. Dodge needs to fix this.

Issues with pcm, emc, tps. After 98,000 miles everything started not reading correct and giving false check engine light. I bought truck two years ago and it’s hard to believe dealership didn’t no. 2013 ram trucks need to be pulled off market. Nobody can tell you what’s wrong. The truck starts when it wants to. Hits the gas when it wants to. Them machines say no code no problem. If the code that originally popped up said computer not receiving info. Then of course you can’t read problems.

The vehicle rolls away while still in park and showing it’s in park. No one was in the vehicle. All passengers had exited and was in a building.

Air bag light came up. Headed to nearest mechanic he said there was a recall on airbags for this type of vehicle. Made an appointment on dealer. On my way engine light came up and vehicle started shaking

Noticed tick noise coming from my HEMI engine upon starting. Took to mechanic who verified there are multiple broken bolts on both sidesof exhaust manifolds creating dangerous exhaust conditions. Reading that there have been multiple complaints on the Ram 1500 Hemi models in this time frame for same complaint. Only have 85K miles on this 2013 model., A recall should be considered and this should be covered cost by manufacturer.

I was driving down the road on 222 near Lancaster pennsylvania when without any warning lights or noise or any form of warning my rear differential locked up while I was driving. It snapped my drivshaft off the flange that attaches it to the differential.

I EXITED MY TRUCK IN DRIVEWAY GOT OUT LOOKED IT AND IT ROLLED BACK AT LEAST TWO FEET ALMOST RAN OVER MY FOOT IT'S DONE IT MORE THAN ONCE NOW IT WAS IN PARK AND WAS OUT OF VEHICLE VERY UNSAFE

EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOTLS BREAKING. DEALER FIXED ONCE UNDER WARRANTY, NOW ITS BACK AGAIN. THIS IS A CONTINUAL PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS EXTREMELY COMMON AMOUNG THE HEMI TRUCKS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

MY 2013 RAM HAS A CONSTANT VIBRATION WHICH STARTS AT AROUND 40MPH AND CONTINUES ALL THE WAY UP TO 75+ MPH. I'VE REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES 3 TIMES. THE LAST SET ARE MICHELIN. ON ALL 3 SETS OF NEW TIRES I HAD THEM BALANCED A TOTAL OF OVER 15 TIMES. HAD ROAD FORCE TESTING DONE ON THE NEWEST SET 5 TIMES. I STILL FEEL THE VIBRATION. I BOUGHT THE TIRES AND HAD THEM ROAD FORCE BALANCED BY A NATIONAL TIRE CHAIN. THEN I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A LOCAL DODGE DEALER/SERVICE CENTER. THEY ROAD FORCE BALANCED THE TIRES TWICE AND TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WASN'T THE TIRES OR RIMS. THEN I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE STORE WHERE I BOUGH THE TIRES, THEY ROAD FORCE BALANCED THEM AGAIN AND STILL I FEEL THE VIBRATION. THE SERVICE MANAGERS AT BOTH LOCATIONS SAID THAT THEY PERSONALLY DROVE THE TRUCK FOR A...

TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, FIRST INCIDENT PUT VEHICLE INTO PARK LEFT RUNNING CAME BACK TO VEHICLE AND IT HAD ROLLED FORWARD INTO FRONT OF GARAGE. SECOND INCIDENT PARKED TURNED VEHICLE OFF AT TOP OF DRIVEWAY WOKE UP NEXT MORNING TO FIND VEHICLE AT BOTTOM OF THE DRIVEWAY.

MY TRUCK FAILED THE STATE INSPECTION BECAUSE 2 EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAD BROKEN OFF AND WERE INSIDE THE CYLINDER HEAD WITH NO WAY TO GET THEM OUT. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO A MECHANIC UPON DISCOVERING HOW DEEP THEY HAD BROKEN OFF WITH NO SUCCESS AT REMOVING THE FIRST ONE AND THE MECHANIC WAS ALSO UNABLE TO REMOVE THEM. THEY HAVE NOW BEEN DRILLED OUT BY THE MECHANIC WHICH CREATED A COOLANT LEAK OUT OF ONE OF THE BOLT HOLES AND IT LOOKS LIKE I'LL NEED A NEW CYLINDER HEAD. I'VE READ IT'S A COMMON ISSUE AND NOW I'M EXPECTING THE DRIVERS SIDE TO DO THE SAME ANY TIME IF THEY AREN'T BROKEN ALREADY.

CHECK ENGINE CODE PO850 . DEALER STATES MECHATRONICS VALVE BODY NEEDS REPLACEMENT $2,800. CONTACTED SEVERAL DEALERS AND PROFESSIONALS AND FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION

AS SOON AS I START THE ENGINE, A LOUD TICKING NOISE IS COMING FROM THE ENGINE. AFTER INSPECTING IT, I HAVE BROKEN EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLT THAT CAUSES EXHAUST TO EXIT AT THE HEAD. THE EXHAUST ESCAPES BEFORE IT REACHES THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND THE MUFFLER THUS CAUSING THE LOUD NOISE. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE RAM HEMI ENGINES. IT IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE "HEMI TICK". ALTHOUGH THIS HAS BEEN A WIDELY KNOWN ISSUE, RAM HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL.

I AM NOW 7 MONTHS OUT OF FACTORY WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THE LOW MILES THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS PROBLEM THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY COMPLAINTS ON LINE ABOUT THIS IT'S NOT SAFE DRIVING AT 65 OR SO AND HAVE IT KICK DOWN TO 4TH GEAR MECHANIC CAN'T BELIEVE I HAD THIS HAPPEN WITH SO FEW OF MILES.

I PULLED INTO THE DRIVEWAY BEHIND 2 PARKED CARS. I STOPPED AND PUT MY TRUCK IN PARK AND WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THE TRUCK REVVED UP AND WENT FORWARD, I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE TO STOP THE TRUCK, BUT THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE TRUCK FROM RUNNING INTO THE 2 CARS. AS I KEPT PRESSING THE BRAKE THE TRUCK'S ENGINE WAS REVVING AND THE TIRES WERE BURNING RUBBER, I KEPT PRESSING THE BRAKE AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP IT WAS OUT OF CONTROL.

I HAVE A DODGE RAM 15000 CREW CAB LARAMIE. BOTH TAIL LIGHTS ARE MALFUNCTIONING IN THE BLINKERS. WHEN I TURN THE BLINKER ON IT BLINKS REALLY FAST AND SAYS THE TAIL LIGHTS ARE BAD AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE LIGHTS IN THE BACK ARE HALF OUT WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. I DID SEE THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT FOR MY VIN THERE IS NOT. SO IT APPEARS ALL 2013S SEEM TO BE AFFECTED. I ALSO HAVE A TICKING NOISE IN MY ENGINE WHEN I START THE VEHICLE.

"BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK" I RECENTLY RECEIVED MY LATEST RECALL (THIS RECALL MAKES 4 IN TOTAL SINCE INITIAL PURCHASE OF MY 2013 RAM 1500). THIS LATEST RECALL IS T79, AND THE PREVIOUS 3 WERE: T25; R36; R23 ALL RECALLS ARE DUE TO SAFETY RELATED ISSUES ON MY RAM. THIS LATEST RECALL (T79) IS THE MOST CONCERNING, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE CAN ACTUALLY ROLL AWAY WHILE IN THE PARK POSITION, WITHOUT EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED. I RECEIVED RECALL T79 IN EARLY FEBRUARY 2018, AND AS OF TODAY 03/21/18, PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AT MY LOCAL FCA DEALERSHIP TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. FOR THIS REASON MY TRUCK STAYS PARKED AND ONLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 14,800 MILES, AND MY RESALE VALUE HAS GREATLY BEEN DEVALUED. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE BEHIND THE WHEEL OF MY TRUCK AND THEREFORE I DO NOT DRIVE IT. I FEEL I WAS MISLEAD INTO BELIEVING I WAS BUYING...

I WAS A PASSANGER IN THE TRUCK DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND WE TURNED RIGHT .. THE TRUCK SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR .. I HEARD THE TRUCK REV UP CAUSE THE DRIVER HAD HIS FOOT ON THE GAS AS NOTHING HAD HAPPENED .. BOTH HIS HANDS WERE ON THE STEERING WHEEL SO AT NO TIME DID HE TURN THE DIAL SHIFTING GEARS ..

AT THAT POINT THE DRIVER TUNED THE DIAL SHIFTER BACK TO DRIVE AND IT WENT BACK INTO GEAR .. THIS TRUCK HAS ONLY 16,000 MILES ON IT .. IT'D STILL BRAND NEW ..

ON 12/7/16, A DESOLATE, STRAIGHT, COUNTRY ROAD, I STOPPED MY TRUCK TO INVESTIGATE DAMAGE FROM A DEER THAT HAD RUN INTO THE DRIVER'S FENDER WHILE I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 25 MPH. EVEN THOUGH I PLACED THE TRUCK IN PARK AFTER MY STOP (TO MAKE IT STATIONARY), THE RAM STARTED MOVING AS I ATTEMPTED TO EXIT ITS CABIN; AND THEN IT DROVE FOR ABOUT 300 FEET AT IDLE SPEED DOWN THE ROAD, WHERE IT STOPPED IN A SHALLOW DRAINAGE DITCH. MEANWHILE, THE RAM'S "SELF-DRIVING" MODE HAD CAUSED ME TO SLIP ON THE RUNNING BOARD AND TO FALL VERY HARD TO THE GROUND (A DISTANCE OF AT LEAST 22 INCHES). THE RESULTS: PAIN, HAND AND KNEE CUTS, EXTREME BRUISING AND SWELLING OF THE ENTIRE LEFT LEG, AND BRUISING AND SWELLING OF THE LOWER RIGHT LEG. THESE REQUIRED SOME MEDICAL ATTENTION.
