2019 RAM 1500 Engine Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2019 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE DRIVER WAS DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, ANOTHER VEHICLE CUT IN FRONT IMMEDIATELY AS THE LANES WERE MERGING. AS A RESULT, THE DRIVER DEPRESSED ON THE THE BRAKE PEDAL AND SWERVED TO THE LEFT DIRECTION CRASHING INTO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WHO CUT IN FRONT AND INTO A CURB. AFTER THE CRASH, THE VEHICLE ENGULFED IN FLAMES INSTANTLY. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED BUT IT WAS UNKNOWN IF A FIRE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A BURN INJURY ON HIS ARM BUT DID NOT SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND DEEMED DESTROYED. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE INSURANCE COMPANY WAS CONDUCTING AN INVESTIGATION TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN....

I HAD JUST FINISHED PUMPING GAS AND TURNED ON MY TRUCK AND SHIFTED FROM PARK TO DRIVE. WHEN I DID THIS, NOTHING HAPPENED. I THOUGHT MAYBE I DIDN'T TURN THE TRUCK ON SO I PRESSED THE PUSH START BUTTON AND TURNED OFF. TURNED IT ON AGAIN AND SHIFTED FROM P TO D AND STILL NOTHING. STILL IN D I VERY LIGHTLY PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND THE TRUCK JOLTED FORWARD. THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. I'M NOT A MECHANIC BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, OTHER PEOPLE WITH SAME TRUCK HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS TO BE THE ELECTRONIC GEARBOX. I HAVE ALSO HEARD A NOISE EVERY TIME I PRESS THE BRAKE THAT COMES FROM THE ELECTRONIC GEARBOX AND ALSO A NOISE THAT COMES FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL ITSELF THAT SOUNDS LIKE SPARKS. MY TRUCK HAS UNDER 400 MILES AS I WRITE THIS ON 07/04/2019....

AFTER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT ON MY 2019 RAM 1500 THE ENGINE DID NOT SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY. THE TRUCK ACCELERATED AFTER THE DEPLOYMENT DESPITE STANDING ON THE BRAKES. END RESULT WAS TRUCK IMPACTED GUARD RAIL AFTER THE COLLISION WITH THE OTHER VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE IT SHUT DOWN.

DRIVING AT 70MPH THE TRUCK WITHOUT WARNING WENT TO IDLE WITH CLICKING SOUND TOWED TO DEALER SAID NOTHING WRONG IT WAS BAD FUEL NOT TRUE FUEL WAS FRESH. TALKED TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD NOT AWARE OF PROBLEM. I KNOW THIS IS NOT TRUE TALKED TO OTHER RAM OWNERS HAD SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS WHEN IT HAPPENS YOU SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTART IT, IT ACTS NORMAL. THERE IS SOME BUG IN THEIR SYSTEM THAT IS CAUSING THIS SHUT DOWN NO ONE CAN FIND IT I HAVE HEARD THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH SOME OF THEIR VEHICLES. BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED THESE VEHICLE SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD UNTIL THE BUG IS FOUND. I NEARLY GOT MYSELF AND OTHERS KILLED ON THE FREEWAY. I HAVE TALKED TO THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM EXISTS THEY WILL BLAME FUEL OR...

A ROARING SOUND AND VIBRATION BETWEEN 10 AND 60MPH. ON CITY STREETS OR HIGHWAYS.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A CURVY RURAL ROAD, MY VEHICLE LOST ALL THROTTLE CONTROL. I ALMOST WRECKED AND HAD TO STOP AT THE "EXIT" OF A BLIND 55MPH CORNER. THE VEHICLE HAD MULTIPLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON INCLUDING A ELECTROMIC THROTTLE CONTROL FAILURE LIGHT, PARK BRAKE FAILURE LIGHT, TRAILER BRAKE FAILURE LIGHT (NO TRAILER CONNECTED AT THE TIME), AND A GENERIC CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.

TRUCK HAS 442 MILES ON IT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BEGAN FLASHING. ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. SLUGGISH ON ACCELERATION, BLOWS HEAT REGARDLESS OF TEMPERATURE SETTING. ALL WHILE IN MOTION.

I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 75 AND MY CAR SLIMIEST TURNED OFF AND SPUTTERED. I SLOWED DOWN LIKE I STOPPED ON BREAKS AND A 18 WHEELER HAD TO CHANGE LANES. I HEARD A POP AND THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN GAS BUT TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND FOUND OUT THE ENGINE LIFTERS HAS BROKEN/POPPED. THIS IS A DEFECT THAT COULD CAUSE LIVES TO BE LOST IF THE TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION. THE CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP AND MY SERVICE TECHNICIANS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO NUMEROUS RAM TRUCKS WITH HEMI'S 2013, 2014, AND 2015. THE MILEAGE RANGE THAT THIS HAPPENS IS FROM 40,000 TO 80,000 MILES WITHOUT WARNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED MORE THAN TWICE WITHOUT WARNING. BENNY BOYD GONZALES CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (3698 US-183, GONZALES, TX 78629, (830) 445-4001) INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NEED TO REMAIN WITH THEM TO BE TEST DRIVEN BECAUSE A DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE WAS NOT LOCATED. A BUY BACK OFFER WAS STATED BY THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT A REPAIR SOLUTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130. *DT *TR

THE TRUCK HAS BEEN SELF ACCELERATING AND CAUSING ME TO SLAM ON BREAKS TO AVOID ACCIDENTS. IT WAS FIRST HAPPENING ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT WENT 50-70MPH BY ITSELF. THEN IT HAPPENED TODAY ON THE CITY STREET AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. IT WAS CLAIMED TO BE A SENSOR PROBLEM, BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY AND I BARELY MADE IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR HAS MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND THEN WILL SELF ACCELERATE AND ONLY ALLOW YOU TO BRAKE. SOMETIMES IT FLOORS IT FROM A STOP AND OTHER TIMES IT BARELY MOVES BUT SELF ACCELERATION SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING AND ITS A MAJOR CONCERN. *DT VIN IS NOT AVAILABLE *JB *DT*JB *BF CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE CONSIDERED FOR LEMON LAW AND DEALER AND CONSUMER WORKING ON GETTING A NEW VEHICLE.*JB

WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING ,THE VEHICLE ENGINE QUITS AND LOOSES ALL POWER. POWER STEERING IS LOST AND ALL POWER IS LOST. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE ON MY TRUCK THAT HAS LESS THAN 5,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN THE INCIDENT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP REPLACED A RELAY SWITCH. I BELIEVE THE ISSUE IS RELATED TO A FAULTY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AS I ALSO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE POWER MIRRORS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO BE DRIVING THIS TRUCK WITH MY CHILDREN AND FAMILY NOT KNOWING WHEN AND WHERE THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP. *DT*JB

THE DEALER REPLACED THE STARTER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90.
