2014 RAM 1500 Engine Problems

I STARTED GETTING A TICKING IN MY MOTOR AROUND 60K MILES. I TOOK IT TO TYLER'S CHRYSLER JEEP AND RAM IN NILES MICHIGAN FOR TWO RECALLS, THE TICKING SOUND ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, AND A POSSIBLE REAR MAIN SEAL LEAKING. THE SERVICE WRITER TOLD ME THEY PUT DYE IN THE OIL AND I HAD TO BRING IT BACK AND RECOMMENDED I REPLACE THE SPARK PLUGS FOR THE TICKING BUT DID PUT IN MY FILE WHY HE WAS RECOMMENDING IT. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO MY NORMAL MECHANIC FOR THE TICKING SOUND AGAIN AND NE SAYS I HAVE BROKEN EXHAUST STUDS. NOW I AM 2 MONTHS OUTSIDE OF MY WARRANTY AND THE DEALERSHIP WON'T COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THE SERVICE WRITER COULDN'T DO HIS JOB. IN DO RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE, APPARENTLY BROKEN EXHAUST MANIFOLD STUDS ARE SO COMMON ON THESE TRUCKS THAT REPLACING THEM IS CONSIDERED STANDARD MAINTANANCE???

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BOLT THAT HELD THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD FRACTURED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 126,000.

. MY PICK-UP AVERAGED 24 PER GALLON BETWEEN LOCAL AND EXPRESSWAY DRIVING. EXPRESSWAY DRIVING ONLY (FOR EXAMPLE, TO NIAGARA FALLS IN 2015) AVERAGED 27 MILES PER GALLON. FOLLOWING REPLACEMENT OF SPARK PLUGS AND OIL CHANGE AND 2 FACTORY RECALLS MY PICK-UP LOST POWER AND COULD BARELY DO 20 MILES PER GALLON. THE ENGINE BECAME VERY LOUD. THE LONGER I DROVE IT, THE LESS MILEAGE I GOT -- THE ENGINE ALSO BEGAN HOWLING/WHISTLING AS I TRIED TO INCREASE SPEED. IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN SPEED, I HAD TO CONSTANTLY PRESS MY FOOT TO EXCELERATE, EVEN GOING DOWN INCLINES. I HAD TO CONTINUOUSLY BRING MY PICK-UP BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP IN ST. CHARLES, ILLINOIS BECAUSE VARIOUS SYSTEMS BEGAN TO FAIL -- SAFETY BREAKS, FUEL RELATED BLACK BOX, DASHBOARD PANEL SIGNALS , ETC. I EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT THE STRESS ON MY TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE. EVENTUALLY, BY PROCESS OF ELIMIMATION, SERVICE DEPARTMENT REVISITED THE 2...

MY WIFE AND I WERE ON A LONG ROAD TRIP WITH OUR INFANT DURING CHRISTMAS. ALL ASPECTS OF MY TRUCK WERE OPERATIONAL AND NO WARNING SIGNS. MY TRUCK IS AN ECODIESEL. ON THE WAY HOME THE TEMPS WERE BELOW FREEZING AND IT BEGAN TO RAIN. WE TRIED TO TURN THE HEAT ON IN THE TRUCK TO FIND THERE WAS NO HEAT. THE TRUCK WAS RUNNING AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE WITH NO SIGNS OF OVERHEATING. WE KEPT DRIVING UNTIL I COULD SAFELY EXIT THE HIGHWAY. WE FUELED UP AND I CHECKED THE TRUCK OVER VISUALLY BUT FOUND NO REASON FOR THE TRUCK TO HAVE NO HEAT AND STILL BE OPERATING UNDER NORMAL TEMPERATURES. WE RETURNED TO DRIVING AND HAD HEAT FOR A BRIEF MOMENT BEFORE IT STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. STILL THE TRUCK WAS OPERATING AT NORMAL TEMPERATURE. WHEN I FINALLY DECIDED TO CHECK THE ANTIFREEZE LEVEL, I LEARNED THAT THE TRUCK...

FUEL LEAK AT INSIDE BEND OF METAL FUEL LINE. FACTORY DEFECT. FUEL LEAK AT SEVERAL INJECTORS WHEE IT MEETS MANIFOLD. GLOW PLUG MODULE AND GLOW PLUGS CONSTANTLY FAILING. WATER PUMP LEAK AND REPLACED. AIR SUSPENSION INOPERABLE. VEHICLE WELL MAINTAINED AND ONLY 32,000 MILES

THE HEMI ENGINE HAS A KNOWN ISSUE FROM 2009 5.7 HEMI UP UNTIL PRESENT BUT RAM IS NOT RECALLING THE ENGINE. THE LIFTERS ARE SEIZING CAUSING THE ENGINE TO FAIL. THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS. THESE ARE FAILING BEFORE 70K MILES AND MINE IS STARTING TO FAIL AS WELL. ITS A 4000 DOLLAR FIX WHEN THEY DO. DODGE RAM NEEDS TO RECALL THIS ISSUE. I PURCHASED MY TRUCK FOR $26000 AND HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR LESS THAN 2 YEARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT SMELLED FUMES INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE FAILED. IN ADDITION, THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. JACKSONVILLE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM ARLINGTON (9600 ATLANTIC BLVD, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32225, (877) 677-5782) REPAIRED THE TURBO CHARGER. GALEANA CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (14375 S TAMIAMI TRAIL, FORT MYERS, FL 33912, (239) 481-2600) FLUSHED THE ENGINE AND STATED THAT THE WIRE HARNESS WAS NOT CONNECTED PROPERLY AND WAS TO CLOSE TO THE OIL PAN, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE ENGINE TO FAIL. THE FAILURES CONTINUED AFTER THE REPAIRS. THE DEALER HAD NOT RELEASED THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

ENGINE LIGHT ON, DIAGNOSTIC READING: CYLINDER 6 MISFIRE DETECTED. RANDOM/MULTIPLE MISFIRE DETECTED. NUMBER 6 CYLINDER HAS A HIGH COUNT OF NO COMPRESSION. THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON STATIONARY AND IN MOTION.

ENGINE KEEPS OVERHEATING INTERMITTENTLY AND DEALERSHIPS IS NOT ABLE TO FIND THE ISSUE LOOSES COOLANT AND SMELLS LIKE COOLANT WHILE ITS RUNNING AND AFTER JUST GETTING SHUT OFF AFTER DRIVING. I HAVE HAD TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP 14 TIMES NOW AND NOTHING IS GETTING DONE.

OIL LEAK ORIGINATING FROM REPORTED FAILED FILTER HOUSING ADAPTER (PER DEALER INVESTIGATION) ON PENTASTAR 3.6L V6 ENGINE. SLOW LEAK BEGAN TO OCCUR IMMEDIATELY AFTER PREVIOUS DEALER-PERFORMED OIL CHANGE IN LATE 2018. 2/4/19 REGULAR-INTERVAL DEALER-PERFORMED OIL CHANGE FOUND OIL ALL OVER BOTH SIDES OF ENGINE. TECHNICIAN ADVISED OF REPLACING OIL FILTER HOUSING/OIL COOLER ADAPTER AND ASSOCIATED GASKETS FOR QUOTE OF $995. LEAK OBSERVED ON PERSONAL GARAGE FLOOR, AS WELL AS ALONG DRIVEWAY (WHILE IN MOTION), SINCE PRIOR OIL CHANGE. MULTIPLE INTERNET SEARCHES FIND FAULTS OF THIS EQUIPMENT ACROSS A WIDE VARIANCE OF 2014 3.6L PENTASTAR V6 ENGINES INSTALLED IN VARIOUS FIAT-CHRYSLER AMERICA MODELS.

MAJOR OIL LEAK ENGINE COOLER. CAUSING OIL TO LEAK WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS GETTING ON THE TIRES. ON WET ROADS THIS HAS CAUSED THE REAR END OF THE TRUCK TO FISHTAIL AT NORMAL DRIVE SPEEDS AROUND CURVES AND TAKE OFFS.

I HAD A WATER PUMP FAILURE, CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. A FLATBED TRUCK CAME TO PICK IT UP. AFTER THREE WEEKS IN THE DEALER THEY CALLED ME IT WAS READY FOR PICK UP. I WENT THERE, INSPECTED THE WORK ALL WAS DONE CORRECTLY. WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP MY KEYS, THEY TOLD ME THAT DODGE DOES NOT INCLUDE THE "LIQUIDS" AND THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR THE COOLANT USED, $29.98 THEY CHARGED ME. I WENT TO TALK TO THE MANAGER AND ASKED HIM AND HE SAID THAT DODGE DOES NOT COVER FOR ANY LIQUIDS, IF YOU MAKE AN ENGINE REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY, CUSTOMER PAYS FOR THE OIL AND FILTER, IF A REPAIR IS DONE ON THE AXLE, CUSTOMER HAD TO PAY FOR THE AXLE FLUID, IT IS INCREDIBLE!! GM INCLUDES EVERYTHING. MY TRUCK IS A 2014, BUT ONLY HAS 30K MILES...

ENGINE KEEPS STALLING RANDOMLY COMING TO A STOP OR IDLING DURING TIMES, WANTS TO TURN OFF WHILE PUTTING IN REVERSE, HAVE HAD A NEW BATTERY PUT IN AND ALTERNATOR HAS CHECKED OUT GOOD THROUGH DODGE THEMSELVES. ISSUES STARTED HAPPENING IN NOVEMBER WHEN THE TEMPERATURES GOT COLD. PURCHASED TRUCK IN JULY 23. HAD AN INTERLOCK SYSTEM PUT IN AND HAD NO ISSUES WITH IT UNTIL WINTER.

VEHICLE STALLS AND LOSES ALL POWER AND ELECTRICAL, SHIFTING ITSELF INTO PARK WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS DUE TO THE FAULTY TIPM IN CHRYSLER VEHICLES. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING WITH MY WIFE AND CHILDREN ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON MANY OTHER OCCASIONS; THERE IS NO WARNING OR INDICATION THAT IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN, IT JUST HAPPENS. THIS IS UNSAFE AND COULD RESULT IN MULTIPLE FATALITIES. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE DECEMBER 2018. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MAY 2018. AFTER DOING RESEARCH AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE HAVE DONE NOTHING TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. HAD I KNOWN THAT PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE WOULD ENDANGER MY FAMILY, I NEVER WOULD HAVE EVEN CONSIDERED BUYING IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE ENGINE REVVED AND THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. ALSO, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY AND THEN DECREASED WITH A KNOCKING NOISE PRESENT. FURTHERMORE, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT TEXAS DODGE (7800 I-40 FRONTAGE RD, AMARILLO, TX 79106, (806) 353-6343) PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V332000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL), BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE FAILURES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND THE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED AGAIN, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 127,000. *DT*JB

WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP, TWICE THE ENGINE HAS STALLED AND TWICE IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO STALL BUT INSTEAD CAME OUT OF GEAR. WHEN IT CAME OUT OF GEAR THE SHIFT KNOB STILL INDICATED "D" BUT THE LIGHT WAS FLASHING AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SAID TO SHIFT INTO PARK AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE

OIL LEAKING FROM 2014 3.6L V6 ENGINE OIL FILTER HOUSING ADAPTER

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY THERE WAS A LOUD THUMP FROM THE ENGINE. ENGINE LOST POWER AND SHUT DOWN. INFO SCREEN DISPLAYED 'CHECK TRAILER BRAKE,' 'ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL,' AND 'TOWING MODE''.' WAS NOT TOWING ANYTHING AT THE TIME. ABLE TO PULL TO SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY. ENGINE WILL NOT START NOW. VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. AWAITING INFORMATION FROM DEALER ON REPAIR.

2014 DODGE RAM. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DIESEL WATER PUMP SAFETY RECALL. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE RECALL REPAIR REQUIRED 2 APPOINTMENTS. THIS CONSUMER FELT THIS WAS DANGEROUS IF THE VEHICLE REQUIRED THE WATER PUMP TO BE REPLACED. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT HEARD A TAPPING SOUND WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS EXAMINED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE MANIFOLD BOLTS BECAME DAMAGED AND SHEARED OFF DUE TO THE WEIGHT OF THE ENGINE MANIFOLD AND EXHAUST PIPES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER (JAMES HODGE DODGE, 5100 SE LOOP 286, PARIS, TX) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. *TT VIN IS INVALID.*JB

MOST RECENT EPISODE OF TRUCK SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING WAS WHILE CROSSING RAILROAD TRACKS IN RURAL AREA PULLED UP TO LOOK BOTH WAYS TO CROSS THEN STARTED OVER TRACKS TRUCK SHUT OFF IN MIDDLE OF TRACK NEEDLESS TO SAY A TRAIN WAS COMING AROUND CORNER, WHEN TRAIN WAS 200 YRD AWAY LUCK FORCED IT INTO NEUTRAL. NEEDLESS TO SAY HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP MULTIPLE TIME IN 2015 AND RAM STATED IT WASN'T THROWING CODE FOR IT TO SHUT OFF. THEY LET THE DEATH TRAP BACK ON ROAD. THIS TRUCK HAS MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHILE DRIVING AND LOSS OF POWER. AFTER BRINGING VEHICLE TO MECHANIC FOUND OUT MISFIRE CYLINDER #3. FAILED CAMSHAFT AND LIFTERS AT 143,000 MILES. TOLD IS WAS A VERY COMMON ISSUE AT NO SPECIFIC MILEAGE. APPROXIMATELY $4,000 TO REPAIR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND AN ABNORMAL ODOR WAS DETECTED. THE VEHICLE STALLED, BUT WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, OPENED THE HOOD, AND SAW FLAMES COMING FROM THE BACK OF THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000.

ENGINE TROUBLE: TOP END DAMAGE TO LIFTERS/CAMSHAFT. I REPLACED THE ENTIRE ENGINE

IN 3 YEARS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE INDICATOR HAVE CAME ON AT LEAST 14 TIMES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE TRUCK GOES INTO LIMP MODE AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE. EACH TIME THE DEALERSHIPS WHO REPRESENT RAM PRODUCTS HAVE PERFORMED DIFFERENT WORK AND SAID IT WAS FIXED. THEY HAVE FLASHED THE SOFTWARE, CHANGED TURBO PRESSURE SWITCH, PERFORMED MANUAL REGEN ON EXHAUST SYSTEM, CHANGED AIR FILTER, CHANGED THE TURBO TWICE, CHANGED THE FUEL FILTERS, TIGHTENED HOSES AND NOTHING STOPS THE PROBLEM FROM RETURNING. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND IS HAPPENING ON THOUSANDS OF RAM 1500 ECODIESEL PICKUPS. UNTIL NOW IT WAS JUST AN INCONVIENANCE BUT THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS TURNING ONTO A HIGHWAY WHEN IT WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND ALMOST GOT RAN OVER BY A LOGGING TRUCK. HAD THE LOG TRUCK BEEN LOADED WITH LOGS I PROBABLY WOULD BE...

CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE ENGINE FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. IT THREW A ROD THROUGH THE ENGINE BLOCK RESULTING INSTANT LOSS OF POWER. HOT OIL BEING BLOWN OUT OF THE HOLE AND ALL OVER THE ENGINE AND ONTO THE TURBO AND EXHAUST, RESULTED IN A UNDER-HOOD FIRE.

2014 DODGE RAM 1500. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO NHTSA SAFETY RECALL 18V-332. *LD *JS

ENGINE MAKING TICKING NOISE AT AROUND 22000 MILES ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. ASKED THE DEALERSHIP WHAT THE NOISE COULD BE IN DAY REPLY BACK SAYING THAT IT'S JUST THE HEMI ENGINE NOISE AND IT'S NORMAL. I'VE CAME BACK A FEW TIMES AND MENTION THE NOISE AGAIN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THAT IT WAS GETTING LOUDER AND LONGER LASTING AT COLD STARTS THEY INFORMED ME IT WAS STILL NORMAL HEMI NOISES. I'VE RESEARCHED AND LOOKED INTO IT AND FOUND IT TO BE AN EXHAUST ISSUE ON THE MANIFOLD DUE TO THE STUDS BREAKING AND SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS A COMMON DEFECT AND THEY INFORMED ME IT WOULD BE OVER $1,000 REPAIR AND WAS NOT COVERED DO TO MY TRUCK COMING FROM CANADA AND ALL MY WARRANTY WAS VOIDED I'VE COMPLAINED SEVERAL SEVERAL TIMES TO SEE WHAT COULD BE DONE UNDER THE FEDERAL MANDATED...

CANNOT PUT IT TO WORK IT WILL NOT HAUL A TRAILER, CAN'T DRIVE BECAUSE IT WILL TURN OFF IN BUMPY ROADS, BEEN MARKING ' SHIFT TO DESIRE GEAR TO DRIVE' WE HAVE BEEN FIGHTING WITH PEOPLE FROM THE AGENCY ( DON DAVIS ) AND THEY SAY THEY CANNOT FIND PROBLEMS. CHANGED SHIFT CRAGTER TWICE, NO LUCK! I TOOK IT WITH THE ENGINGE LIKE TURNED ON AND CAN'T SEEM TO FIND A 'CODE' THE TRUCK STARTS SHAKING UP BEFORE IT TURNS OFF COMPLETELY. IT'S A MATTER OF SAFETY FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY.

TIPM...TRUCK WAS MOBILE AT NIGHT IN RAIN WHEN IT DIED AND COASTED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD...DENSE OBNOXIOUS SMOKE POURED FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND INTO CAB WHERE MY GRANDCHILD WERE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY IT CAUSING SERIOUS BREATHING PROBLEMS AND COUGHING. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE A DEMAND OF 1500 BUCKS UP FRONT TO EVEN LOOK AT THIS TRUCK.. EVENTUALLY I HAD WRECKER BRING IT FROM DEALERSHIP HOME WHERE IS SITS ON RAMPS IN THE BACK YARD. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE BY CHRYSLER TO ADDRESS THESE PROBLEMS. ACCORDING TO CODES FROM OBD-II SUGGEST THE POTENTIAL OF AIRBAGS EXPLODING WITHOUT WARNING AT ANY TIME...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, SMOKE AND FLAMES APPEARED FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE FLAMES WERE EXTINGUISHED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CAPITOL CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (3201 MISSOURI BLVD, JEFFERSON CITY, MO 65109, (573) 893-5000) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION SYSTEM FAILED, AND THE WIRING HARNESS AND INTAKE AND EXHAUST MANIFOLDS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED, BUT WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VANCAMPEN MOTORS INC. (601 W 3RD ST, WILLIAMSPORT, PA 17701, (570) 326-0567), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

MY TRUCK HAS STARTED RUNNING ROUGH WITHOUT ANY POWER AND NOTICING A TICKINGKOCKING NOISE WITHIN THE PAST WEEK SO I STARTED LOOKING INTO IT AS I'VE ALWAYS CHANGED MY OIL BETWEEN 5-10K FULL SYNTHETIC 5W20 AND ALWAYS RAN GOOD FUEL AT LEAST 89-93 BC I HAVE 142K ON IT. I'VE NOTICED THE TICKING NOISE AROUND 75 AND THOUGHT MAYBE SLIGHT EXHAUST LEAK FROM THE WELDS BUT AS I START READING ON INTERNET IT'S BEEN A PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER ON ALL THESE HEMI ENGINES FOR QUITE A FEW YEARS NOW AND I THINK IT'S BS THAT I'M HAVING TO PAY TO FIX SOMETHING THAT OBVIOUSLY BEEN A PROBLEM FOR VEHICLES WITH WELL UNDER THE MILEAGE I HAVE AS WELL. THE WIFE HAS A CHEVY WITH OVER 200K THAT RUBS LIKE A TOP AND SHE NEVER CHANGED THE OIL BEFORE WE GOT TOGETHER, IN FACT IT WAS SLUDGE WHEN I DID THE...

5.7L HEMI LIFT/CAN FAILURE!!!!! I AM A RAM OWNER AND HAVE HAD SOME TROUBLE WITH MY 2014 RAM 1500 AT AROUND 135,000 MILES MY ENGINE STARTED TO TAP IN A RITHUM AND WAS GETTING LOUDER BY THE DAY. DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT A LOT OF FOLKS ARE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH LIFTER COLLAPSING AND DESTROYING THE CAM. TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD EXACTLY WHAT I HAD READ ABOUT A LOT OF FOLKS SAYING THEY HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THERE HEMI. NOT ONLY IN THE RAM MODELS BUT JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE MODELS AND CHALLENGERS AS WELL EQUIPPED WITH THE HEMI ENGINE AS WELL. THIS REPAIR COST ROUGHLY 3500.00 OR MORE TO HAVE REPAIRED. AND CHRYSLER SHOULD HELP COVER THE COST ON REPAIRS. I AM VERY UPSET WITH CHRYSLER PRODUCTS AND AT THIS TIME MAY NEVER OWN ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT.

RAM STARTED DYING IN DECEMBER 2017 WHILE DRIVING AT HWY SPEED. ALL ELECTRIC POWER REMAINED, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. ON OR ABOUT 1 JANUARY 2018, ENGINE SHUT DOWN AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THAT DAY, THE ENGINE SURGED 2 TIMES WITHOUT DYING. DEALER VERIFIED A U1424 TROUBLE CODE RECORDED 3 TIMES. DEALER HAD THE RAM FOR ABOUT 1 WEEK AND COULD NOT MAKE IT DUPLICATE, BUT INDICATED THEY WERE GOING TO CHANGE THE CRANKSHAFT SENOR. THEY DID NOT DO THE REPAIR. DEALER CLEARED THE CODE AND I RETRIEVED IT. THE RAM CONTINUED TO DIE, BUT HAS NOT PRESENTED A TROUBLE CODE. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH DODGE/RAM (CASE#33123585) TO WHICH THEY RECENTLY DETERMINED THAT UNTIL THE RAM CANNOT MOVE UNDER ITS OWN POWER, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, DESPITE THE SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. SINCE DECEMBER, THE RAM HAS NOW DIED APPROXIMATELY 7 TIMES AND SURGED...

OIL LEAKING FROM PART #68105583AF, ADAPTER-ENGINE OIL FILTER.

MAJOR OIL LEAK STARTED AT JUST UNDER 100K MILES ON THE TRUCK. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE FOR KNOWN ISSUES, WITCH I FOUND ONE ON CHRYSLER 3.6 MOTORS YEAR MODEL 2014 WITCH WAS OILCOOLER/HOUSING CRACKING. THIS IS THE ENGINE MY TRUCK HAS AS WELL. AFTER THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED THE TRUCK OVER THIS WAS THE EXACT ISSUE WITH THE TRUCK. THE OIL LEAK IS LOCATED ON TOP OF THE ENGINE BETWEEN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND ENGINE BLOCK AND RUNS DOWN BACK OF ENGINE TO BOTTOM OF TRUCK. WITH THE AMOUNT OF ISSUES I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIND IN A MATTER OF MINUTES OF SEARCHING AND AFTER BEING TOLD THAT THAT PART HAD BEEN REDESIGNED BY THE DEALERSHIP I THINK THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO.

ON 11/22/17 AT AROUND 5PM DRIVING EAST BOUND ON I-76 IN PENNSYLVANIA OUR 2014 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL ENGINE CAUGHT ON FIRE. AS I TRIED TO STOP I REALIZED I HAD NO BRAKES. WE SLOWED TO A STOP AS WE STARTED UP A HILL, I PUT IT IN PARK AND WE ALL GOT OUT JUST IN TIME. A CERTIFIED CHRYSLER MECHANIC HAD JUST 2 DAYS EARLIER FINISHED INSTALLING A NEW ENGINE. BOTH THE DEALERSHIP & CHRYSLER HAVE DENIED ALL OWNERSHIP AND NO ROOT CAUSE EVALUATION HAS BEEN COMPLETED. I BELIEVE A FUEL LINE FAILED DUE TO FAULTY WORKMANSHIP, BUT WITHOUT A THIRD PARTY INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION I GUESS WE WILL NEVER KNOW AND SOME OTHER CUSTOMER MAY EXPERIENCE THE SAME THING.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SMELLED BURNING, ANOTHER CAR PULLED ALONG SIDE AND YELLED "YOU ARE ON FIRE" AFTER STOPPING THE TRUCK I WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES UNDER THE ENGINE BY APPLYING DRY POWDER FIRE EXTINGISHER INTO THE OPEN HOOD. LATER INVESTIGATION BY A CHRYLSER HIRED INVESTIGATOR INDICATED THE STARTER CABLE SHORT CIRCUITED TO A SHARP BRACKET ATTACHED TO THE FRAME CAUSING THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS TO CATCH FIRE. IN MY OPINION CHRYLSER IS DRAGGING THEIR FEET IN AUTHORIZING A WARRANTY REPAIR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE ENTERED INTO BRAKING MODE AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO RAPIDLY ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (LITHIA CHRYSLER DODGE RAM FIAT OF SPOKANE, 10701 NORTH NEWPORT HIGHWAY SPOKANE, WA 99218, PHONE (509) 381-7460) SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURE, BUT THE DIAGNOSTIC COULD NOT RENDER A FAILURE CODE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PERFORMING NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000. ..UPDATED 10/18/17*BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE FAILURE OCCURS WHILE ON STEEP HILLS AND/OR IN 2ND GEAR. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED SIGNIFICANTLY WITHOUT COMMAND. UPDATED 10/25/2017*JS

MY RAM 1500 WILL H THE 5.7 HEMINGWAY V8 HA AN EXAUST LEAK AT THE EXAUST MANIFOLD APPARENTLY DUE TO A BROKEN MANIFOLD MOUNTING BOLT. IT MAKES A TICKING NOISE WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD AND THEN SUBSIDES WHEN WARMED UP. I WAS CONCERNED THAT CARBON MONOXIDE MAY BE TAKEN IN BY THE CABIN VENTILATION SYSTEM AND EXPOSE THE OCCUPANTS TO THIS GAS. RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET REVEALS MANY PEOPL HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE BEEN TOLD BY RAM DEALERS THAT A SAFETY RECALL WOULD BE FORCE HCOMMING.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BREAK OFF IN THE BLOCK AND CAUSE EXHAUST LEAKS. HAPPENED AT 50K MILES. WAS TOLD BY THE REPAIR SHOP IT HAPPENS OFTEN.

ON DISPLAY IT CAME UP SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL, TRUCK WENT INTO LIMP MODE TO 38 MPH RUNNING 3000 RPM'S.

STARTING AT ABOUT 30K THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ERROR CODE READ PO456 (SMALL EVAP LEAK), DODGE DEALER (PETERSON ) STATED THAT THE COMPUTER WAS SO SENSITIVE THAT THEY (THE DEALER) COULD NOT DETECT SUCH A SMALL LEAK.. SO I WAS TOLD THEY CHANGED OUT SOME COMMON ITEMS THAT HAD KNOWN ISSUES AND IT SHOULD BE FIX.. AT ABOUT 37K SAME EXACT ISSUE SAME EXACT ERROR CODE SAME EXACT RESPONSE FROM THE DEALER.. BUT THIS TIME I WAS TOLD THEY JUST REPLACED THE WHOLE EVAP SYSTEM AND TO MAKE SURE I DON'T OVERFILL THE FUEL TANK.... NOW AT 54K SAME EXACT ISSUE SAME ERROR PO456 ..BUT NOW A MUCH MORE NOTICEABLE HEAVY 'FUEL' SMELL IN THE CAB ' AND I'VE BEEN VERY CAREFUL NOT TO 'OVERFILL' THE FUEL TANK'.BEST PART DEALER IS SAYING SORRY OUT OF WARRANTY.. HUH, THAT'S CONVENIENT.

MY 2014 RAM 1500 PENTASTAR 3.6 OIL LEAK HAS A OIL LEAK FROM THE OIL COOLER THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY HAZARD

THIS VEHICLE WILL STALL WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP FROM TIME TO TIME. THERE IS NO PATTERN WHEN IT HAPPENS. VERY DANGEROUS!!!!!! THIS IS ONE OF TWO 2014 RAM 1500 WE HAVE THAT DOES THIS.

THIS VEHICLE WILL STALL WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP FROM TIME TO TIME. THERE IS NO PATTERN WHEN IT HAPPENS. WE OWN A SECOND 2014 RAM THAT DOES THE SAME!!!

WAS DRIVING TRUCK IN AN EMPTY LOT AFTER A SNOW STORM WITH LOTS OF ICE. HAD TRACTION CONTROL OFF AND TRUCK FISHTAILED AROUND A CORNER AND ENGINE STALLED. LIGHTS IN INTERIOR WERE ON AND DASH ADVISED TO SHIFT INTO PARK TO START. NO KNOCKING OR STRANGE NOISES PRIOR, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AFTER OR BEFORE. RPMS WERE BELOW 3000 WHEN ENGINE STALLED. AFTER STALL PUT TRUCK INTO PARK AND STARTED UP RIGHT AWAY. TANK WAS 3/4 FULL. ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE HAD WITH THE TRUCK BUT IT IS VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. *TR

THEIRS A LOT OF RECALLS THEY DON'T FIX THEM AND I'M SCARE OF DRIVING THE TRUCK.

MY TRUCK HAS AN EXHAUST LEAK THAT ALLOWS RAW DIESEL FUMES TO BE DRAWN INTO THE VEHICLE'S HVAC SYSTEM. WHEN THE TRUCK IS STATIONARY AND THE ENGINE IS IDLING, DIESEL EXHAUST FUMES CAN BE EASILY DETECTED IN THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. BECAUSE THIS TRUCK IS EQUIPPED WITH SCR, DEF, AND DPF SYSTEMS, YOU SHOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO SMELL RAW DIESEL EXHAUST WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. HOWEVER, WHEN THE TRUCK IS STATIONARY, YOU CAN SMELL RAW DIESEL EXHAUST IN THE CAB AND WHEN STANDING OUTSIDE THE TRUCK. I BELIEVE THE LEAK IS COMING FROM THE EXHAUST ELBOW, JUST DOWN STREAM FROM THE TURBO ASSEMBLY. THIS IS A KNOWN WEAK POINT IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AS MANY RAM ECODIESEL OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME LEAK AND SYMPTOMS.
