Water pump and thermostat on Dodge Ram 1500. I have spoken to many dealers and owners of Dodge Ram. Even the water pump is on back order that's how many people have issues with

Similar to NHTSA issue # 11287014 dated 12/5/19 on a Ram. Twice, I've parked my truck on an incline (two different driveways), I've put the car in park, shut off the engine and removed the keys and gotten out the truck. The truck then started to roll backwards, both instances I jumped back in and pushed the break to stop the truck, so I do not know how far it would have rolled. It did roll at least 2 feet before I got it stopped. I do not know the dates of the incidents

After parking my vehicle in my driveway with the rear on the upper side of a slight incline and placing the vehicle in park and shutting engine off, the vehicle strarts rolling downward for approxiamately 5 to 7 feet, eventually stopping. Firsted noticed yesterday, 12/3/19 and then again today.this is a very serious issue and a safety concern. I read on online that it may be related to issues with the brake transmission shift interlock.

VB1 recall is happening to my truck and still unknown solution and parts aren't available. Is the truck ok to drive, will it be on fire? bulletproof diesel looks like a great option.

Wasn't sure if this fell under power train or engine itself. 2014 Ram 1500 3.6L engine. Oil filter housing is plastic. Noticed an oil leak upon changing oil. Brought to dealer and hoped it fell under power train warranty. Did not qualify so I'm out almost 1,000 for the repair. Researching, this is a known common problem. Dealer attributed it to being over tightened filter housing. Well research shows this happens due to the temperature cycling over time. Oil leaking onto the engine manifold creates a fire hazard under the proper conditions. Manufacturer should put forward a recall to replace the housings or design one that is metal for an adequate replacement.

I have had several malfunction of the transmission in my vehicle since purchased. They started around a year after I purchased the vehicle and have averaged approximately one malfunction per year. The first three malfunctions were similar; a "hard" downshift or upshift while I was highway driving at highway speed and adjust according to traffic flow. I heard a loud popping noise and felt the jolt of the transmission changing. Like when the vehicle slowed but the transmission didn't react and all the sudden a hard shift same on the upshift. The latest malfunction was different. I was in highway traffic when traffic slowed down. I tried to accelerate to keep up with traffic flow but the vehicle would not exceed the 45 mph. I could hear the engine revving up but it was like it was stuck in low gear. I pulled off the freeway and stopped and restarted the vehicle and it drove as normal. I have explained the malfunctions to the dealership on several occasions. They said they checked it out and it was normal. After the last failed attempt to get the problem resolved at the dealership, I contacted the Chrysler fca us customer center representative by letter. The advised me to a GM at the Dodge city dealer in mckinney, tx. The dealership ended up "resetting the transmission". it was explained to me that is similar to resetting your cell phone where all settings go back to the original settings. I was given no other options at the time except to drive the vehicle and see if the resetting resolved the problem. It is my opinion there has been no real resolution to the problem of the malfunction of the transmission. I still have the same fear that if the transmission malfunction under the right conditions it could cause an accident resulting in serious bodily injury or even death to me or someone else. Please give this concern your utmost attention.

When the vehicle is in gear then stopped and placed in park but not shut off it will not go back into gear. This started the end of June 2019. It has occurred at least seven times. It has occurred in driveways, parking lots, and landscape and lumber yards. At the yards it blocked oncoming traffic.it happened when the vehicle was half way into our street from our driveway where vehicles had to drive around the truck. This could have resulted in injury the Dodge dealer ran three checks on the truck and told us the problem never registers on their computer nor could they get the problem to replicate. After many complaints the dealership replaced the shifter controller. The problem occurred again within an hour after the attempted repair. We have to be careful where we drive the vehicle so we so not put ourselves in a dangerous situation. We could not be assure the vehicle would fo into gear when doing a three point turn. We have a video of this problem but I could not get it to copy.

My stock driveshaft is rubbing into my stock gas tank. I believe to be the case on all 2014 regular cab 1500 with the 3.92 rear end. The key here is the 3.92 rear end on this truck. They used an oversize adapter plate the mount the drive shaft and there is not enough clearance when turning left and the bed rolls. I have gauge marks in my tank and fca is refusing to look at the evidence even though a Ram dealer pointed it out to me.

After the V08 recall aem update, the truck has no power when accelerating from a stop

- Tannersville, PA, USA

Recall for emissions not performed correctly. Engine light comes on all the time. Warning flashes on dash : "engine will not restart in 200 mi service def see dealer." Started at 5000 miles and has plagued the truck every since then. Ram was supposed to fix and reimburse under recent recall and extended warranty settlement. I have documented, written, called, emailed, and faxed to the Ram manufacturer. I get no response whatsoever. Recall done on 7/11/19 and on 10/08/19 I still don't have it fixed. File to thick to up load.

- Slingerlands, NY, USA

This has happened on a multitude of occasions. While driving the vehicle, the check engine light, the traction control light will both come on. At the same time as the lights the messages show up and say to service shifter knob, then right after that the service trailer brake system message shows up and will be the only message found in the messages folder. The check engine light and the traction control light stay on. When trying to get the traction control light to go out by pressing the traction control button, nothing happens. This is telling me that I do not have any traction control. This will become a major issue when it snows. Each of these instances have happened while moving both on and off the highway and while at a stop. This has happened also while on the highway about seven months ago while on the highway in the snow.

- Elyria, OH, USA

Dangerous. Transmission problem on slight uphill at speeds from 40-70 miles. Suddenly the traction control off light and engine light comes on, truck gets stuck in a weird gear, gas pedal only works half way. You cannot speed up to save your life. This is just a 4 year old truck. Absolutely unfoto buyers.

After the V08 update very bad lag from the pedal and gas mileage dropped very significantly.

- Orefield, PA, USA

After receiving the epa mandated emissions update known as aem (V08) I have been experiencing an unsafe amount of lag from the time the accelerator is pressed to the time the truck actually begins to accelerate. At times, I can count to 5 seconds before the truck begins to move forward. This is unacceptable and downright unsafe. Fca is staying that the lag is as the software intended it to be. When the truck was purchased it was not at all like this, after being forced by the epa & the state of California to get this update my truck is now nearly inoperable due to safety concerns. I refuse to put my family in this vehicle as it in completely unpredictable and unreliable. Please step up and forced fca to fix this terrible mistake they made. You may end up saving someone's life.

The V08 emission recall has despite what the manufacturer claims decreased my mpg, increased turbo lag, made it unsafe to drive due to literally slower than acceptable throttle response, and daily diesel regeneration. All before this flash to the ECU there where no problems. But since it is a ticking time bomb just waiting for for me to get T-boned at an intersection for the delayed acceleration.

- San Antonio, TX, USA

When in motion on a city or a highway the transmission does not downshift correctly and it sounds like if it is revving when not stepping on the gas.

- Oklahoma City, OK, USA

2014 Ram ecodiesel. Had the emissions update done per the fca class action lawsuit requirements. After the update, my truck has an extremely dangerous turbo/throttle lag. This lag can last anywhere from 2-5 seconds. Additionally, the truck was advertised as 29 mpg on the highway. After the update, I am sitting around 17 mpg. I have lodged a complaint with fca and am still waiting to hear back. This is no longer an emissions issue, this is a safety issue and I can guarantee you it will lead to numerous accidents and possibly death. A simple google search will show that this issue is not unique to my ecodiesel. Almost every Ram and Jeep that had the emissions update is dealing with the same safety risks.

- Maplewood, MN, USA

Fca aem recall. Since getting the emissions recall done the truck no longer responds like it did. It is a life safety issue. The update has mad the truck very sluggish to the point it feels like it is going to stall when trying to start from a stop or merging into traffic on the highway. I have also lost 5-6 mpg since the update and will no long let my wife drive it to do lack of power to even get moving.

- Oklahoma City, OK, USA

After getting the aem flash per the settlement with epa my truck is slow to accelerate when starting out. It is a major hazard to drive in traffic. Numerous check engine light occurrences. Also - the settlement stated "no driving differences" - far from it. Throttle lag - mpg down significantly.

I own a 2014 Ram 1500 with a 3.0L eco diesel. There was a federal class action lawsuit that was handed down and the outcome was an approved engine modification (aem). The aem was a reflash of the ECM and tcm. After the recall was performed, the performance of my truck dangerously impacted. If I drive my truck before the engine reaches operating temperatures over 150degrees, there is significant acceleration delays. It usually takes me 5-10minutes of driving or more than 20minutes of idling (warming up) to get the engine up to operating temperatures. I can push on the accelerator petal and wait 3-5 seconds before the truck reacts, then I get pushed back into my seat and sometimes spin the drive tires. This is extremely dangerous, especially when I am turning into oncoming traffic, or trying to overtake another vehicle on the highway. Also, prior to the engine reaching operating temperatures, I now experience 'turbo flutter' this is where too much air is forced into the intake manifold and the air is pushed back through the turbo. The truck acts as if the breaks are pulsing. Similar to the above, it happens when I am accelerating, not with the accelerator pushed to the floor, just normal, conservative driving. A few other changes I have found after the aem, I have lost significant fuel economy, greater than 10%, and diesel exhaust fluid (def) consumption is significantly higher. These last 2 items do not directly effect the drivability of my truck but if I had know these things would have happened after the recall, I would not have had the recall performed.
