Theirs a lot of recalls they don't fix them and I'm scare of driving the truck.

- Bell Gardens, CA, USA

My truck has an exhaust leak that allows raw diesel fumes to be drawn into the vehicle's HVAC system. When the truck is stationary and the engine is idling, diesel exhaust fumes can be easily detected in the cab of the truck. Because this truck is equipped with scr, def, and dpf systems, you should never be able to smell raw diesel exhaust when the engine is running. However, when the truck is stationary, you can smell raw diesel exhaust in the cab and when standing outside the truck. I believe the leak is coming from the exhaust elbow, just down stream from the turbo assembly. This is a known weak point in the exhaust system as many Ram ecodiesel owners have experienced the same leak and symptoms.

Diesel exhaust fluid (def wasn't mix with the fuel to make the truck run properly. Truck won't stay start. When truck start only go 30mph. Has been in shop 10 times since I purchased it in May 2015. It is in the shop with no eta on the part so I am in a renter since 6sept2016. The dealership only cover 5 days of renter. So I am responsible for the remain of renter until truck repaired and still making my truck payment of $613. One time I was on the highway and it just stop wouldn't start at all had to be tow to the shop. The rest of the stop and go was on streets.

Engine light came on along with the service electronic throttle control indicator. Truck would not shift out of 1st gear; 3000 rpms, will not go over 25/30 mph. This was on vehicle start; can't drive it. It is in my garage. May need to be towed to service

- Combined Locks, WI, USA

Catastrophic exhaust gas record valve (egr) and egr cooler failures which resulted in plastic intake manifold failure. Egr cooler severely plugged with soot/carbon well below mileage period of federal emissions warranty. No specified service requirements for this egr system. Damage resulted in substantial loss of power, unable to maintain minimum speed on interstate 85 when intake manifold failure occurred. Visible black smoke/soot was being emitted from exhaust under acceleration during this failure, clearly not in compliance with emissions standards.

- Zachary, LA, USA

On February 23 my Ram 1500 eco diesel had a catastrophic bottom end engine failure while driving on the parkway at highway speed, breaking the crankshaft and sending a connecting rod through the engine block spilling engine oil onto the road and onto the tires. When I checked the ram1500.com diesel forum there are many more people that had a similar failure on trucks with less mileage than mine. I'm hoping to find out how many 1500 eco diesels were sold and how many have had a engine failure. Thank you for your time.

The engine, a 5.7-liter V8, shuts down intermittently, usually when coming to a stop on city streets. This has happened approximately 25 to 30 times since the vehicle had just a few hundred miles, to today at approximately 35,000 miles. The dealer has not been able to diagnose or correct the problem. Often I am not aware the engine has shut down, as powered items such as the radio continue to operate normally. I become aware of the issue only when I try to accelerate and there is no response and I then notice a flashing light next to the "D" on the gear selector knob. Although this issue has largely been just an annoyance, since it usually occurs at stop signs and traffic lights, there was one instance when it occurred at high speed on a freeway as I was preparing to exit. The engine shut down as I was driving in the far-right lane, causing a sudden loss of speed in front of a big rig, which had no warning because it was not a deliberate action and my brake lights hadn't been activated. I was close enough to the off-ramp to coast off the freeway, but the big rig came dangerously close to rear-ending my vehicle. It is this incident, more than anything else, that prompted me to file this complaint, since it was not only extremely dangerous, but the problem that led to it will likely persist because there does not appear to be any identified repair or corrective action I can take.

I found out about a recall by fca that my 2014 Dodge Ram ecodiesel has a problem with the exhaust dampener. This is after I started researching the smell of exhaust fumes in the can when using the vehicles heat. I took my vehicle into the Dodge dealership to have the recall repaired. The dealership stated that fca is only sending the repair parts in batches and cannot be ordered directly from fca. This means I must wait until they are in-stock at the dealership to have the problem repaired. I contacted Ram customer service. Ram customer service stated that the part shipping issue is known but the 'smell' is not considered a safety issue. I told them that the smell of exhaust is distinct and obvious. They still argued this is not a safety issue as their own tests demonstrate that the levels of exhaust do not pose a safety threat--they would not respond when I stated it is a health threat. At this time I still cannot get this exhaust fume problem fixed under fca's own recall since fca has made the repair parts availability limited since fca only ships the parts in batches not based on the need of the customers. The exhaust fumes have caused me two migraines and several normal headaches when using the heat on long drives (distances over 30 miles or driving times over one hour). The fca recall is 'R04'.
