Manifold bolts have sheared causing exhaust leak while occasionally enters cab area when not in motion. Issue was brought to the attention of dealer on 4 different occasions when under warranty and no repair was made. Ram customer care was contacted now that the power train warranty has expired and no solution was offered. This is a well documented issue and I am concerned about the safety risk.

W58 recall inspection completed. Chrysler states W68 recall does not apply to vehicle because the part affected was not made at or at the time of the part (tone ring on fly wheel) was not at the location or time as others which are eligible for the recall. Initially EGR recall completed with engine light - a few weeks later crank shaft position sensor error code engine light. Crank shaft position sensor was originally inspected - can cause engine to stop or go into limp mode while driving. Truck went into limp mode after pulling out of driveway onto busy street

My 2015 Ram 1500 abruptly downshifted into 4th gear while driving down the road at approximately 50 mph. I immediately pulled off the road and found that the truck was stuck in 4th gear. After some research I've found this is very common with the RAM's and that they had a recall on the newer models for the same issue. If I would have been going around a bend when this occurred, it would have caused an accident. I'm not going to have to spend around $1000 to repair something that is an obvious defect. It's going to cause an accident, or more accidents if nothing is done about it.

Traveled appr. 1/2 mile, 30 mph engine lost power, rattled and clanked like timing was off would hardly move- stalled me on busy 2 lane hwy. Transmission knob locked up, errors reading adjust trailer brake slider- no trailer connected to me. Tried adjusting, allowed me to put in park, could not get back out of park, would not let me shut of engine. It was totally stalled, but running like a clanky train- finally was able to get truck in reverse and back into drive 500 feet behind me. Had no power steering at all. Engine was loping so bad it felt like I had a flat tire. Got the truck in drive - still limited power, no power steering. Got truck up to house safely off road- yellow engine light was on. I was able to get truck in park on selector knob. Shut truck off. Called to make an appt. To get truck in. Tried to start truck and would turn over but will not start. I got notice several months ago of loss of crank position. I called larson Dodge to get it fixed and they said they did not have info on how to fix it yet, to call back after first of year. So here I am. It is very scary to pull onto main 2 lane hwy and totally lose power and control all at the same time. No shoulder on road, can not explain the feeling but it is an awful feeling to be in motion and lose all control of the vehicle. This definitely is dangerous and easily people could die from it if it happened on the freeway or any busy road. Please people be aware of this. This faulty situation could easily cost you and your loved ones and or complete strangers their lives. Not so much by the vehicle itself, but by losing power and control, you can easily get slammed into. I was just waiting to get hit, but a very aware semi truck driver saw I was in trouble and stopped before the opening of the drive to allow me to back up into it. I could not go forward. The control knob would not let me put it in drive.

After getting the fca emissions modification pushed out by Ram/Fiat, I have lost about 20-25% gas mileage and power in the truck. The modification has ruined a great truck. Truck is now dangerous because of a lag and lack of power. Mod was installed in summer of 2019 and truck is now ruined.

My 2015 Ram 1500 shift selenoid pack failed and it seems to be a very common problem or defect in the Ram 1500 of that year. There was a recall issued on newer Ram models for this part but not on this year model. The 2015 Ram have the same same problem with the shift selenoid pack but I don't know if anyone has done any investigation on this factory defect. It is very costly to repair and very common. My car was in motion at a low speed. When the problem occurred. When the selenoid pack failed.it got stuck on 4th gear and it would not go into drive.

2015 Ram 1500 ecodiesel crew cab. While driving down the road the vehicle will automatically shift into park. The shift knob lights up all lights and then will shift the transmission into park. All doors are closed and vehicle is in motion. When this happens I have have to turn the shift knob into park sometimes the shift knob will not allow me to turn it to park. Only way to resolve this situation when it occurs is to turn the vehicle ignition off then restart. This happens on a regular basis. Almost caused me to get into an accident numerous times. Also when this occurs the the check engine light and traction control light will come on and stay on. This is very dangerous and could result in an accident.

2015 Ram ecodiesel 80K. While accelerating into a very busy intersection, the truck shut off and all the gauges went crazy. I was able to get out of the way and restart it, however it will not go above 30mph. I brought it home, scanned it, and found that the crank sensor is acting up - the reluctor wheel/sensor now need replaced at a cost of over $1250 ! because the transmission needs removed to replace it. I called the dealer and explained to them about the recall, and what happened. I was told "I'll talk to my manager and get back with you" that has not happened yet. Soooo Chrysler/doge/Ram/Fiat/etc/etc/etc what the heck"?" I had just gotten caught up on all the previous recalls, like when my erg valve split, not to mention your emissions scandal, had it back a month when this happens ! very leary of buying another Dodge/Ram/whatever they are called now...

While driving the shifting is hard and doesn't seem to know which gear it wants to be in at times, when put on obd scan gives P2704 code, have checked plugs, fluid levels, replaced speed sensors, and still giving same problem, also I have tried to have key fobic programed and all it will do is start, will not unlock or lock with correct fobic, gives code for radio frequency hub, I know the recalls have been checked but think they did not take.

Vibration at highway speed. Complained to two different dealerships and was ignored. I am a mechanic with 35+ years experience. I am absolutely certain that the problem is in the driveline and not in the wheels/tires. The vibration causes the truck to eat the tires. I am under 65,000 miles and on the fifth set of tires. Four different brands of tires. I've seen numerous complaints on this issue. I discussed a tsb with the dealership and was ignored again. After having my transmission repaired at the dealership under warranty, the vibration has gotten worse. I am reasonably certain the vibration causes the transmission problem that I recently had to have repaired under warranty.

Aem update caused vehicle to perform in an unsafe manner. Hesitates upon acceleration from stop. Transmission shifts irregular and no longer slows vehicle downhill. During acceleration motor can redline and cause a rapid deceleration. Never sure exactly what is going to happen when pressing the fuel pedal. Never sure if it will safely go when it is supposed to. Fuel economy is also reduced from 28 mpg to 25 mpg. It is now a scary vehicle to drive. Was in right lane eastbound on highway 152 going over pacheo pass behind slow truck traffic at approximately 30 mph. When attempting to accelerate while changing lanes the motor went to redline and depowered. I quickly had to brake and get back in the right lane behind the truck traffic. The vehicle had never done anything like that in the 4-1/2 years prior to the aem. They ruined my truck with the modifications, it is a major safety issue when the truck shuts off power when accelerating.

The vehicle was moving down the road as I'm driving the truck just looses all power cuts off and I have to jerk it to side of the road to be towed to dealership. It's the tone wheel for crankshaft and crank shaft position sensor. And when taken to dealership they have no parts to fix my trucks and I was given a case worker with fca or Dodge and they can't get the parts it's been 3 months.

My vehicle lost power and was unable to drive while driving on interstate 94. I was with my 2 year old toddler and had to wait for a tow truck and my wife to pick us up. I had the vehicle towed back home to my local mechanic to look and diagnose the problem. The diagnosed the issue as a crank sensor tone ring. They also notified me there was a recall coming for this issue. I contacted fca and was directed to tow the vehicle to a certified dealer. I towed the vehicle over to the dealer and they determined the issue is the same as my local mechanic determined. I am also being told there is currently not a fix for this part, only a temporary fix. Fca said they will not pay for any of the towing and diagnostics. Since it was there faulty part that caused me to become stuck on the side of an interstate I am looking to be compensated for the repairs, diagnostics, and towing. This is a safety issue and I will be without a vehicle for "quite awhile" according to the dealer. The fca recall number is W58.

On several occasions once the truck is put in park it will jump into reverse. This has caused two accidents. The first one caused damage to my garage door, and the second one caused damage to someone's vehicle.

Purchased new: 08/03/2015 first engine failed 4/27/18 (was replaced under warranty) traveling 65mph on I-495 beltway and in the span of 10 seconds, all dash lights came on, the engine made a terrible grinding noise, and it completely died on the shoulder. Emissions settlement: 05/2019 (100K warranty info from date of emissions software update). Drastic loss in mpg (5mpg), power, and turbo lag after emission software update. Second engine failed: 8/03/2020. Traveling 65mph on I-83. No lights, only a engine knocking sound. Rerouted to dealer 1 mile away, and it completely died 1/2 mile later. Major recalls over the short life of this truck, and now fca is potentially unwilling to cover the cost of the 3rd engine, even though it only has ~30K miles on it. Dealership told me in writing the blown engine was covered under warranty and that the new engine was on order. Then they told me the following day that it was not covered or ordered. The part warranty is 2 years (for a diesel engine), which I missed by 2 months. I've only been driving 1 week out of the month during covid, so this recent problem would have happened inside the 2-year part warranty if covid had not happened. Now I'm spending my own time and money to pay the diagnostic and towing fees for a 2nd Ram dealership to do a full engine teardown. I also don't have another vehicle, so I have had to take personal days at work when I can't borrow vehicles from family. I provided fca a link to a folder containing every service record, purchase data and previous conversations with various dealers when the 1st engine blew as well as the emissions settlement. Fca case managers have been friendly and polite, but no one seems to think there is anything that can be done to fix this problem.

While driving on the freeway pulling a small 16 ft. Camper (I77 nb, mm ~68 in North Carolina), I noticed a loss of engine power and check engine light illuminated along with other warning lights, I tried the accelerator and the engine did not respond. I was able to pull safely onto the shoulder and popped the hood where I noticed flames. I told my family to exit the vehicle and tried to extinguish the flames (with a fire extinguisher from my camper) to no avail. We called 911 and waited for the fire crew to arrive. The vehicle is a complete loss. There is a recall on the vehicle (19V-757) regarding egr issues and potential for engine fire. The vehicle was in the local dealer and had the recall performed on May 18th. The recall was listed as complete and inspected, however after reporting the incident to fca, the status of the recall on my vehicle has been changed to open. Attached you will see photos of the shop visit showing recall completion. I also have a screen shot of the initial VIN look up on 8/8/2020 showing the recall completed, however there is now an update showing the recall as open, updated on 8/17/2020. There were no injuries as a result of this incident, however I was quick to exit the vehicle, observe the fire and tell my family to exit. I reported the incident to fca case [xxx] who have sent out an investigator to the vehicle. Fca today issued me a statement saying the information at hand does not permit them to associate the fire with a manufacturing or assembly error. Given the gravity of the fire, damage to my vehicle and potential injury to people I feel that if the cause cannot be ascertained or corrected it should be reported as a potential safety issue for further investigation.

For over 2 years problem of noise (bearings in a glass jar sound) has been occurring. Taken into 4 dealerships with "we can't hear it" - 8th time of bringing it to dealerships attention as of this week - engine locked up & stopped in a 6 lane traffic 18 mos ago with block replaced - noise sitll there, open a ticket with Chrysler 3 wks ago. Turbo changed out (hole in it) noise still there, drove my vehicle and one on the lot and was told noise is just what it is. Mechanic could still hear it but service mgr said nothing wrong with truck "drive for 2 wks and bring back if not happy. Noise is coming from the half shaft at 2000/2400 rpms vibration in wallowed our ring. Worried of being stranded with family on the road/safety issue. History is undervin#. fields Chrysler in asheville kept vehicle for 3 wks. 2015 on their lot that was traded in because owner was concern w/safety and could not stand the noise any longer. Noise not there when purchased new - started end of 2017. This is also when I questioned engine issues and had engine lock up 18 mos ago after being in and out of dealerships. Lucky to be alive
