Exhaust manifold bolts have sheared and snapped. With less than 50K miles on the truck the exhaust manifold bolts have sheared. This results in a leak of exhaust gases into the cabin of the truck. Making the vehicle unsafe and at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. The Ram dealership stated that this is a common problem 3/6/2019

Vehicle was running. Serious oil leak formed between the top of the engine block and the oil filter adapter (this part also houses two sensors and an oil cooler). This leak is so severe oil pools on top of the block and runs down the back of the engine directly onto transmission bell housing and exhaust piping. Hot piping causes oil to burn and creates risk of fire. This is an extremely widespread problem with 2014 and newer Chrysler vehicles that are equipped with the 3.6 liter 'pentastar' V6. Chrysler has so far refused to recall the parts, design a suitable replacement part, or fix the issue outside of the basic power train warranty.

When starting my vehicle I noticed a ticking sound. After idling a couple minutes the ticking would get quieter. Recently I can still hear the ticking while driving. I've heard it could be the manifold bolts getting sheered off or it can be the purge solenoid. To me it sounds like a lifter ticking.

I have a 2016 Ram ecodiesel fully loaded limited 1500 and I have had nothing but problems with it this past year. I have gone to three different dealerships and none of them can fix the vehicle it only has 40K miles on it and is in perfect condition other than now it is overheating and the fan is on constantly. I believe maybe there is a leak in the coolant line" I don't know, the service departments have been useless, I have been to the dealerships with the problem about 10 times. What do I do? it was a very expensive vehicle and I don't think I should have to be going through this. How do I get Ram to respond? who do I contact to file a complaint with them"

The truck was put into park with the key in the ignition and the engine running. It was parked in a restaurant parking lot. Then around five minutes later, it went into reverse and began rolling backwards. It seemed to accelerate. I had to jump in and slam on the brake to stop it. I do not know how this could occur, but have recently learned of recalls for similar situation with the truck in the parked position, but going into gear. Our VIN was not recalled. There were witnesses to this event.

I had a sudden loss of power and an abrupt deceleration while driving out of my development. The service electronic throttle control and check engine lights appeared on the dash. This happened on May 17, 2017 and some of the vehicles ecodiesel fuel injectors were replaced. 2000 miles later almost the same exact thing happened on July 14, 2017. Currently additional injectors are being replaced. I am thankful neither time was while driving at highway speeds on a busy road.

My son was driving South on I-15 towards san diego at 65mph in the travel lane (2nd left most lane) when his new truck suddenly and without warning completely shut itself off. The main screen on the dash prompted to shift into park (the truck was traveling at 65 mph at the time) to restart the truck. He was unable to pull over to the left due to the hov lane being very busy - he traversed three lanes of traffic to the right in a vehicle without power, or steering assist, and an inoperable electrical system. The blinker column switch did not activate the indicator lights. He was able to activate the emergency hazard flasher lights to show his emergent need to stop on the right shoulder. He stopped the truck near exit 31 on I-15 South. He was able to shift the truck into park and restart the truck. He was forced to continue driving the truck to nas North island san diego because he was on the flight schedule for a annual flight evaluation pre- deployment. The vehicle failure could easily have resulted in a fatality if another driver, less able to handle unforeseen dangerous mechanical failures, could have panicked in crowded California traffic. My son states that he has lost confidence in the vehicle, moreover that it is dangerous to the vehicle occupants and individuals who might be involved in a crashed caused by the sudden failure of the vehicle systems.
