Well the other day I could smell a strong odor coming from the hood of my 2019 Ram. I started feeling a little woozy and light headed from the amount of exhaust fumes coming from the engine. I later investigated the smell and found that the engine was also making a loud ticking noise as well. I decided to tear down the vehicle and found that both exhaust manifolds were cracked in the same exact spot. Now the only way something like that can occur is either bad design, bad casting at the factory, or bad material used in casting. That would make Ram 100 % responsible for this defect. I'm not a scientist, but I would have to think that those gases escaping into the atmosphere would not be passing through the catalytic converter. If our planet is in a global warming crises that can't be helping out our...

For the 3rd time now, while driving my truck either taking off from a light or stopping, the truck quit running and says to shift to park to start aswell as my shifting light flashing “D”. Tried to park and restart and it fails to start. Had towed every time to dealership. Twice they couldn’t find anything and once, this last time found a faulty battery cell and replaced it. Ram great for a week, voltage looks great on my dash, still quit running.

Timing chain cover leaking oil for 2nd time with only 32,000 miles on the vehicle. Ram dealer repaired once already in 2022. Loosing antifreeze but dealer says the vehicle is not. Service def system comes on at random and says see dealer. While this is happening it does a count down on the temperature gauge in the dash and check engine light comes on. Dealer say they can’t find anything wrong.

When I come to a sudden or slow stop either coming to a stop sign or going around a corner or traffic jam on the highway, my truck will sometimes surge and accelerate suddnly before coming to a complete stop. When that doesnt happen the truck will just drop into nuetral and the cluster will display " please shift to park then select desired gear". Its not just annoying but a safety issue since ive almost been rear ended twice and almost t-boned while my wife and 8 year old daughter were in the car with me. I cant moved till i stop the vehicle to put it in park and then back in drive everytime it does it. Its been happening ever since 25k miles and im at 52k miles. Ive take. It to the dealer twice and they daid they couldnt replicate the problem so they couldnt do...

On 06-06-2021 my wife, daughter and Me and our three dogs, was heading to are first destination on are 2 week vacation pulling are camper. In about 150 miles into the trip started smelling diesel, pulled over on a narrow 2 lane road couldn’t see anything. So my wife found a road we could pull off on to check everything out a mile away, right before we made it to the road a (service electronic throttle) message came on, so made it to the road to pull off stoped and instantly smoke started bellowing out from the back of the hood. I hopped out and started feeling something burning my legs looked down and saw liquid aluminum dripping and yelled from everyone to get out, by to time we got everyone out the whole front of the truck way fully on the so I got what I could get out...

Bolts holding the exhaust manifold to the engine block had broken on both sides. This led to a ticking sound coming from the engine bay while the vehicle was running

When I was driving roughly 25 to mph I lost all power. Engine was still rubbing and revving because I was pressing the gas but I lost all power to accelerate and no check engine lights were in. All guards were fine and I have over 3/4 of a tank of gas. I have noticed upon acceleration at random times I will have difficultly accelerating. I heard a loud knocking at which time the dealer said it was a lifter. I took it to an independent shop after the service tech Andrew told me it’s a smart motor and will correct itself so no need to make any repairs. I was told at the independent repair shop that I had a manifold problem and they replace the manifold. But today noticed again I’ve lost power and unable to accelerate while going 49 mph. Again told by Andrew that it’s a...

At low speed usually coming to a stop truck shifts to natural dash indicates to "shift to park" once shifting to park and back to drive truck moves normally. The truck has had this happened numerous times. I reached out to ram care and they advised me to have it scanned at a service dealer. I had the vehicle scanned and no issues were reported. Since then the truck had switched gears at low speed to natural and shift to park . This is dangerous and safety is one of the feature of this vehicle and this can cause many issues to safety to myself or other drivers.

Turned left into a parking lot, approximately 10-15 mph, and the engine unexpectedly shuts off. Electric parking brake engaged and all warning dash lights came on. If the person behind me was not paying attention they would have collided with me. Was able to start the truck and drive into the parking lot. After searching forums online, this seems to be a common problem with no solution or acknowledgement from the manufacturer.

5.7 2019 Ram 1500 Rebel with MDS engine stop with low MPH and turning onto oncoming traffic. I was not accelerating, nor applying the brake. Just slowly rolling into a left turn. It has happened about 4 times and usually during a U-turn. Only two options to get it out of condition during oncoming traffic!!! 1) Engine dies, apply the brake, shift to park, release the parking brake, shift to drive 2) While still rolling in turn, engage/turn the shifter to neutral and lightly touch the brake pedal, the engine will start, then shift into drive

I was driving down the hill on a state freeway and the engine completely shut off. The drive light was flashing but I was unable to do anything or even indicate with flashers or turn signal. I was able to move to the side of the road where I shut the key off. The car did not immediately restart. But after sitting for a bit, restarted and drove fine

I purchased my truck new in Nov 2019. Since then I have had four different occasions where my truck has stalled while driving at low speed or while shifting from drive to reverse. Two of the occasions I was pulling away from a stop and the truck stalled and I was stuck in the middle of the intersection until I put the truck in park and restarted. Luckily there was no cross traffic so there was no danger in this situation but it could have been much worse. The last occasion happened a couple weeks ago when I was moving my truck in my driveway. I shifted to drive and pulled forward then put my truck in reverse. As I put my truck in reverse it immediately stalled. I put it in park and was able to immediately restart it. However, it did have a check engine light on. The...

2019 DODGE RAM. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ILLUMINATED SERVICE LIGHTS.

ALSO THE TAILGATE OPENS INTERMITTENTLY, RADIO SHUTS OFF INDEPENDENTLY, VOLTS ARE READING LOW, AND BATTERY IS IN SAVER MODE.

The exhaust system builds up soot and causes the vehicle to malfunction or require excessive EGR cleaning. My vehicle has been in 4 times for the same issue. The dealership admitted they have had many of the same vehicles in for the same issue. It will freeze up when driving and prevent going forward. I have called Ram and they refuse to consider anything because my issue is a maintenance issue the dealership already told me should not be necessary until 60,000-90,000 miles and I should know it will need to be done every 10,000 miles if I do not drive more than I do. I was never informed of the issue when purchasing the vehicle brand new.
#11422417 |
The vehicle has a tendency to hesitate when accelerating from a stop. It is as if the engine is stalling and then recovers. It occurs primarily when the engine is cold but has also happened when warmed up This is a safety hazard because it could leave the vehicle subject to collision form approaching traffic.

While driving,usually slowing from highway speed,all safety lights turn on on the dash board (cross traffic,anti collision,rear parking,ignition,stabilitrak,check engine).Also vehicle loses power and you can not accelerate.Engine runs on (assuming) 4 cylinders as it starts shaking like it’s misfiring.After you pull over and restart the engine all lights clear except check engine.Vehicle than runs normal.Check engine has cleared twice on me.Once after about 30 and second time after about 50 miles.In both instances I was away from home and had to drive back.The other few times was only a few miles away from dealer.Vehicle is currently at the dealer (7th time) with 35775 miles.Multiple tickets have been opened with FCA.In my own research I have found online forums with identical issues.The dealer is at the liss.Their techs can’t figure it out.They have replaced multiple parts but the issue remains. NOTE:Your system allows me to select three issues at the start...

I WAS DRIVING ON I-65 IN INDIANAPOLIS, IN TRAFFIC, WHEN MY ENGINE ABRUPTLY SHUT OFF AND THE IGNITION MODE SWITCHED FROM RUN TO ACC. THIS CAUSED ME TO LOSE ALL PROPULSION POWER AND I WAS FORCED TO CROSS LANES TO GET OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. LUCKILY, I WAS STILL A MILE OR TWO FROM THE UPCOMING CONSTRUCTION ZONE, WHICH WOULD HAVE PREVENTED ME FROM BEING ABLE TO PULL OFF ONTO A SHOULDER. BECAUSE THE ENGINE HAD SHUT OFF WHILE THE TRUCK WAS MOVING, THE COMPUTER SYSTEM IS PROGRAMMED TO SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK, BUT BECAUSE I WAS GOING 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY (>5MPH ACCORDING TO MY USER MANUAL), IT JUST ALERTED ME THAT MY ENGINE WAS OFF AND THAT I WAS IN ACC MODE. AFTER PARKING THE TRUCK ON THE SHOULDER WITH HAZARDS ON, I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND WAITED A FEW SECONDS BEFORE TRYING TO START...

I WAS DRIVING IN THE CITY IN TRAFFIC. I WAS ACCELERATING AT ABOUT HALF THROTTLE OR LESS, WHEN THE GAS PEDDLE WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR (FULL THROTTLE). THE TRUCK ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL, I TRIED LIFTING THE GAS PEDDLE WITH MY TOE AND IT KEPT GOING STRAIGHT BACK TO THE FLOOR. I WAS BRAKING AND TRYING TO NOT CRASH. I WAS ABLE TO CHANGE INTO AN EMPTY LANE AND GET THE TRUCK TO COME TO A STOP. WHEN THE TRUCK WAS AT A STOP THE GAS PEDDLE REMAINED ALL THE WAY AT THE FLOOR. I LIFTED THE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES WITH MY TOE AND IT WOULD FALL BACK TO FULL THROTTLE. I SHIFTED TO PARK AND THE PEDDLE RETURNED TO ITS NORMAL LEVEL. AFTER THIS HAPPENED THE TRUCK WILL NOT GO ANY HIGHER THAN 4TH GEAR NOW AND GOT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP.

LOCATION: STATE HWY 55, BUFFALO, MN, INTERSECTION WITH CENTRAL AVENUE DESCRIPTION OF THE ISSUE: WHILE STOPPING AT THE RED LIGHT AND APPLYING THE BRAKE, THE TRUCK EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN ACCELERATION BURST. EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKE WAS FULLY APPLIED, THE ENGINE WAS ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN AND PUSHING THE TRUCK. AT LOW SPEED (<5MPH) AND WITH THE BRAKE FULLY APPLIED, THE TRUCK HIT A STOPPED MINIVAN IN FRONT OF ME AND CONTINUE PUSHING IT TOWARDS THE INTERSECTION IN BURSTS AS I WAS DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. AFTER A FEW (THREE OR SO) BRAKE PUSH AND RELEASE ATTEMPTS, ACCELERATION STOPPED AND THE TRUCK (AND THE MINIVAN) CAME TO A FULL STOP. THE TRUCK PUSHED THE MINIVAN FOR SEVERAL FEET. THERE IS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO A TRUCK SINCE THE MINIVAN HAD A BICYCLE RACK INSTALLED. EXCEPT FOR THE DAMAGED BICYCLE RACK, THERE IS NO OBSERVABLE DAMAGE ON THE MINIVAN. AFTER THE TRUCK CAME...

TRAVELING AROUND 35-40 MPH I WAS APPROACHING A STOPPED LIGHT. I EASED OFF THE GAS AND WHEN THE GAS PEDAL NO LONGER "ENGAGED" THE TRANSMISSION THE COMPUTER/SOFTWARE DISENGAGED THE TRANSMISSION WITHOUT MY DOING. NO ERROR WAS DISPLAYED AND THE KNOB STILL SHOWED AS IN THE DRIVE POSITION. AS I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL THE RPMS ROSE BUT BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN NEUTRAL IT ONLY REVVED THE ENGINE. I HAD TO PULL OVER, MANUALLY PLACE THE KNOB INTO PARK, THEN WAIT A FEW SECONDS THEN BACK INTO DRIVE. THE TRUCK RESUMED NORMALLY AFTER THAT. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED ITSELF INTO NEUTRAL OR INTO A LOWER GEAR. I DID NOT TRY TO FORCE THE TRUCK INTO NEUTRAL WHILE IT WAS MOVING. THE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO NOTE WAS THE POSITION OF THE GAS PEDAL I HAD JUST...
