The hemi engine has a known issue from 2009 5.7 hemi up until present but Ram is not recalling the engine. The lifters are seizing causing the engine to fail. This could be dangerous. These are failing before 70K miles and mine is starting to fail as well. Its a 4000 dollar fix when they do. Dodge Ram needs to recall this issue. I purchased my truck for $26000 and have only had it for less than 2 years.

Oil leak originating from reported failed filter housing adapter (per dealer investigation) on pentastar 3.6L V6 engine. Slow leak began to occur immediately after previous dealer-performed oil change in late 2018. 2/4/19 regular-interval dealer-performed oil change found oil all over both sides of engine. Technician advised of replacing oil filter housing/oil cooler adapter and associated gaskets for quote of $995. Leak observed on personal garage floor, as well as along driveway (while in motion), since prior oil change. Multiple internet searches find faults of this equipment across a wide variance of 2014 3.6L pentastar V6 engines installed in various Fiat-Chrysler America models.

I had a water pump failure, called the dealership and they told me it was under warranty. A flatbed truck came to pick it up. After three weeks in the dealer they called me it was ready for pick up. I went there, inspected the work all was done correctly. When I went to pick up my keys, they told me that Dodge does not include the "liquids" and that I had to pay for the coolant used, $29.98 they charged me. I went to talk to the manager and asked him and he said that Dodge does not cover for any liquids, if you make an engine repair under warranty, customer pays for the oil and filter, if a repair is done on the axle, customer had to pay for the axle fluid, it is incredible!! GM includes everything. My truck is a 2014, but only has 30K miles on it, first this is not suppose to happen at this low millage, and second if the dealer is going to do the job, after having the truck sitting in their yard for three weeks, the least you could do is include the coolant. Don't you think. How does the government allows this? there should be a law protecting the customer from this kind of rip offs. Almost thirty dollar for coolant it is outrageous.

Vehicle stalls and loses all power and electrical, shifting itself into park while driving. This is due to the faulty tipm in Chrysler vehicles. This has occurred while driving with my wife and children on the highway and on many other occasions; there is no warning or indication that it is going to happen, it just happens. This is unsafe and could result in multiple fatalities. This has been an ongoing issue since December 2018. I purchased the vehicle in May 2018. After doing research as to what the problem could be I discovered that this is an ongoing issue that Chrysler is aware of and to my knowledge have done nothing to resolve this issue. Had I known that purchasing this vehicle would endanger my family, I never would have even considered buying it.

Most recent episode of truck shutting off while driving was while crossing railroad tracks in rural area pulled up to look both ways to cross then started over tracks truck shut off in middle of track needless to say a train was coming around corner, when train was 200 yrd away luck forced it into neutral. Needless to say have had it in the shop multiple time in 2015 and Ram stated it wasn't throwing code for it to shut off. They let the death trap back on road. This truck has multiple electrical problems.

In 3 years the check engine light and service electronic throttle indicator have came on at least 14 times. When this happens the truck goes into limp mode and will not accelerate. Each time the dealerships who represent Ram products have performed different work and said it was fixed. They have flashed the software, changed turbo pressure switch, performed manual regen on exhaust system, changed air filter, changed the turbo twice, changed the fuel filters, tightened hoses and nothing stops the problem from returning. I am reporting this because it is a very dangerous and is happening on thousands of Ram 1500 ecodiesel pickups. Until now it was just an inconvienance but the last time it happened I was turning onto a highway when it went into limp mode and almost got ran over by a logging truck. Had the log truck been loaded with logs I probably would be dead because there is no way he could have avoided a collision if he were loaded. I took the truck straight to a Ram dealership and they have had it for over a month trying to figure out the problem. It should be illegal for Chrysler to sell $50,000 trucks that can't be fixed and are going to get people killed.
