We have had this truck since August 2025, the engine has stalled while driving numerous times since we have had it. This happens randomly and unexpectedly, the vehicle loses power and stalls, shifts itself back into park and engages the emergency break. It does not show any check engine lights for the dealership to replicate the issue. The engine will start back up after it stalls. We have always bought Ram trucks and never had this issue before. When speaking to many different mechanics they are relating this issue to the 2021 E-torque malfunction. (37A/NHTSA3A-265). The reliability of this truck causes severe safety concerns, as our truck stalled in the middle of a highway with my children in the vehicle this past weekend. The ongoing investigation should be expedited to prevent severe or even fatal accidents.
