Horrible odor in the cab, which caused my wife, my two teenage daughters, and myself to all have at least one form of the following, vomiting, nausea, headache, burning eyes and throat. Apparently this is a known issue to the manufacturer, as there is something called a star case. I can't drive the vehicle at this time, as I have no idea if this odor can cause a permanent health problem, not to mention it is bizarre that a brand new vehicle would have a problem like this.

Vehicle is a 4X4 Ram 1500 express with 5.7 hemi and 8-speed transmission. I purchased it new. The first incident occurred at around 200 miles on the odometer, on the third day after I purchased the vehicle. It stalled when approaching a stop sign near my home. It did not restart and run well immediately thereafter, but after 3 tries I was able to keep it running and after that it began to run smoothly for the remaining short distance to my home. I was worried that it may be a loose gas cap, so I removed the cap and re-installed it. Then less than a week later, the vehicle stalled again on 2 separate occasions during the same outing. First time was in a parking lot, and the second time was in a busy intersection. In each case, I was able to re-fire after a few attempts. The vehicle did the same thing again twice yesterday. Today the vehicle stalled again near my home. Every stall has been when slowing to stop or to make a turn. I do not feel comfortable with my family riding in a vehicle that stalls unexpectedly. It is an accident waiting to happen. I have contacted the dealer and have an appointment for a diagnostic test on this Friday. The check engine light is not illuminated, and the dealer has already indicated during a phone conversation that it will be difficult to do much if there are no obd codes to read. I have contacted other dealers to inquire if other customers may be having a similar situation. None have heard of this issue in this model year.

The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Ram 1500. The contact stated that there was hesitation when changing gears from park to reverse or drive. The contact had to change multiple gears to get the transmission to switch over from park to drive or reverse. The reverse sensor and the drive sensor light illuminated sporadically. The contact was able to use the gear shifter knob to ensure that the vehicle was in the correct gear. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be repaired but the part needed to make the repair was on back order. The vehicle was to be inspected and repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 2100. Updated 06/10/14 updated 06/11/2014

On or about March 6 2014 when the truck sits over night or after about 5 hours when the motor and trans are cold, I notice a hesitation going from reverse to forward, this is a hesitation that is about 2-5 seconds, it seems that the motor is not getting enough air it seems like it wants to idle down. When this idle down it goes from the hesitation then like a idle air issue. With the hesitation from a low idle to idle that makes it go then I have to give this gas or try to since its a lot of electrical know. I am not sure. I live on a busy road and this is a issue that can affect my safety. I should not have to worry if it will go into drive. At this time this is a issue, I want to know when I put this into drive, it goes like it should this is a brand new truck.

We were driving our new truck (only 13 days old) and came up behind a car going 25mph in a 50mph zone. We slowly accelerated the truck to pass the vehicle. During this acceleration, we saw large amounts of white smoke coming from both tailpipes. Then a brief single chime started from the instrument panel. Because it was a new truck we didn't know what was happening and there was no safe place to pull over. We continued up the road and the chiming increased in frequency and white smoke began to come into the cab and from under the hood. We came to side road and immediately pulled over. We got out and the white smoke continued to bellow from under hood. After truck was turned off, the smoke slowly subsided. We towed the truck back to the dealer on a flatbed.
