When in tow haul mode the truck will get stuck in 3rd gear. Speed is limited to 30. Very dangerous when towing and on roads that require faster speed. Ram says the hope to fix the software issue sometime. They said do not tow. Affects all ram 1500 with etorque. Recall needed before accident.

Was sitting at a light (auto engine shut-off was on). When the light turned green, lifted off the break to push the gas to go. Truck shut off, all lights on the dashboard lit up and truck was automatically shifted into park with emergency brake on. Attempted to restart the truck several times. Truck finally started after 8th attempt. Was able to put into drive and made it home. Truck now has check engine light on. Checked the app for an error code. Says: Powertrain Engine Malfunction on May 25th, 2022 @ 0920am. EOBD/Injection System Failure. Reading online, seems like this is a common safety error and has caused accidents by instantly throwing the vehicle into park without warning and leaving the vehicle inoperable at times.

Leased new Dodge Ram 1500 crew cab Big Horn V6 (7 miles) on 4/11/2022. Two days later, check engine light came on and dashboard turned on like a Christmas tree. Brought to Security Dodge dealer Amityville for service. They said it was “stored code” and turned off. A couple days later MIL (Malfunction a indicator light) or check engine light came back in. Took to same dealer for 5 days to repair issue to no avail. They said it was programming issue and emphasized “Bad fuel”. One day later “MIL” came back on flashing “check engine”. Brought back to dealer again for repair (Dodge still there). This all happened from 4/11 thru today, May 10 (with approximately 280 miles). I informed salesman and service that in Dodge app it states: “PowerTrain -Engine Malfunction EOBD /injection system failure”. However, nothing has been fixed. Basically, getting run around with Chrysler Corporate and...

The truck has 647 miles on it and is brand new, I just bought it from the dealer. The truck had been idling in my driveway for a few minutes before I left home, I was in my neighborhood, driving 25-30 MPH maximum. I came to a stop sign, stopped and then proceeded to turn left, which takes me down a hill. Approximately 1-2 seconds into the turn, the engine shut off completely, several lights went on the dash and the truck was proceeding downhill until at some point the brakes locked up, pushing me forward into the steering wheel. If anyone was infront of me I did not have control of the truck! The truck brakes were locked and I had to mess around starting it to get them to unlock, the battery indicator was lit and the check engine light was on. I was able to get to...

Engine stalled, inspection available upon request. Safety issue - Took a right turn onto a road with heavy traffic then while accelerating engine stalled. I was able to coast to the breakdown lane to attempt a restart. Error message on dashboard was "Electronic Control Module malfunction" . Several restarts were attempted with no success. Shut off ignition completely with a quick press of start engine and foot not on brake pedal. Attempted another restart of engine and was successful. Check engine light remained on. This was the 1st occurrence of the problem. The vehicle has not been brought to a service center as yet .

Right turn from to sign. Seems that start/stop shut off the engine. When brake was lifted the engine started and immediately stalled, e brake came on and battery warning and check engine light illuminated. I got It going again after shifting to park and releasing the parking brake and turned off start/stop. Got a weird drivetrain vibration soon after so I pulled off and turned the engine off. After I got going again it seemed to run fine but the check engine light is still lit. Two errors were thrown and appear in my Ram app: Charging System Failure EOBD/Injection System Failure

My ram was purchased in October. Since I have had it there have been multiple electrical problems. Speakers cutting in and out backup camera showing blue screen/ flickers from view to blue screen, and when these things happen it affects the way the engine runs. A few days ago I go in my truck to take off, placed truck in drive and left parking spot. 15 seconds later as I’m driving through the parking lot the emergency break engaged tried to disengage it and it wouldn’t release. Shut the truck off and back on and it disengaged. Friday morning is when I left my house for work, as I turned right from the neighborhood at the light the transmission slipped and engine just revved. Again I had to stop and shut off truck as cars were speeding towards my direction. If that has been any other morning when the intersection...

I was pulling our from a stop sign to make a left turn when all of a sudden the engine shut down, emergency brake engaged and all engine power was lost. I would have been struck by cross traffic had there been any as I did not have the ability to maneuver the vehicle. The vehicle was able to be restarted and disengage the emergency brake but the engine light remains on.

While rolling to a stop and turning (3) times and once while slowing for speed bumps my 2022 Dodge Rebel 5.7L V8 Hemi with E-Torque shut off, the emergency brake applied itself and it shifted itself to park. This happened while turning onto a busy street where a bad accident could have happened because of it. There were no warning or indicators prior to the truck shutting off by itself. It has been to the dealership twice with no fix. I have had it for three weeks.
