I have a 2017 Ram 1500 ecodiesel. I was driving down the highway at 70mph when the vehicle suddenly starting making a crazy noise then begin to loose power, I steered the truck onto the shoulder where immediately white smoke starting bellowing from underneath the front and sides of the engine compartment I opened the hood but no flames were visible and it eventually went out. I had the vehicle towed to the nearest dealer and three weeks later they now tell me that the problem is the egr cooler leaking which apparently is a known and dangerous problem.

Tri-lives motors (180 state hwy F, branson, mo 65616, (417) 334-7543) diagnosed the vehicle and found code numbers: P0299 (supercharger underboost) and P2459 (diesel particulate filter regeneration frequency).

My truck has a manufacturing date of 11/17 and only has 37K miles on the truck. Randomly my truck went into a "limp mode" and a check engine light for electronic throttle control service light came on. I was driving down university drive in huntsville, al at roughly 45mph accelerating up a small incline. The 'limp mode' is extremely unsafe and restricts the ability to accelerate or drive at a normal pace. Had this happened on the highway or pulling out (what would normally be safe) into traffic and my ability to accelerate was effected it could have caused serious safety concerns. I take my 13-week old daughter to and from daycare in this truck and it has become unsafe. When taken to the dealer, they originally notated that it was just a software update. I late get a call that the egr cooler had gone out, but would not be covered under warranty. The service advisor told me they had 6 other ecodiesel vehicles in for the same issue in the last week. I called the dealer I bought it from and they had one in the shop in for the same exact problem. I then started doing research and found that the egr cooler is a huge issue for these trucks and fca refuses to address it. I called the fca and they eventually agreed to replace the truck on 'good will' after I paid a deductible. Fca needs to put a recall on these vehicles and fix the egr issues. Now there are reports that the valves are sticking and causing the egr to cause a fire. Purchasing dealer: University cdjr in rome, ga servicing dealer: Landers mclarty cdjr in huntsville,

When the vehicle is cold the engine has a significant power lag and 'dead pedal' when you accelerate from a stop. It creates a significant risk as there is no power to accelerate and avoid oncoming cars or dangerous situations. Oven when pedal is all the way depressed the vehicle fails to accelerate.

After ECM reflash, now the vehicle will not accelerate for 3 seconds with engine cold. No power until delay time has passed then itll accel. Once engine is at operating temp it drives normally. This only started since the latest ECM and tcm reflashes were performed.

Truck still under warenty has less than 13,000 miles. 7 different times car won't start. Have had to get it towed to dealership 3-4 times. Each time it's repaired a different electrical computer code is stated as the problem. This has happened in parking lots, our driveway and at a light (car would not go)! very dangerous. Started to happen 3 months after we bought the truck. Happens every 30-60 days.

Concern #1: intermittently, upon initial start up, the engine makes a loud clattering noise as if it has no oil in it. The dealership was able to duplicate the concern once but it is not bad enough to repair. Concern #2: while coming to a slow rolling stop (as if coming to a known stop sign) there is a hard bang/clunk just before getting to a complete stop, it feels like you are being hit in the rear by another car. As you slowly accelerate it bangs/clunks again hard. The bang can be felt and heard, and only happens on slow stops, not when you have to stop quickly. The vehicle is currently at the dealership for the third time regarding this same concern. The dealership reprogrammed the transmission and a transmission valve body was replaced but it has not fixed the concern. This bang is so bad that it is hard that I fear driving it in stop and go traffic.

Multiple episodes of vehicle codes disabling truck, all related to 'service electronic throttle control' message. This has caused loss off power with vehicle stalling on mountain highway, major safety issue.

At approximately 6100 miles noted engine ticking noise only on cold start up. Took to dealer for repair and they found a number of broken exhaust manifold bolts (they replaced 9 of them). According to Dodge forums and the Dodge dealership this apparently is a common problem with Ram semi engines.

The lifters in my 3.6 liter Ram 1500 are bad at 80000 miles. This is the same problem reported with this engine in 2011-2013 Dodge vehicles. Dodge knows this is still a problem because they lowered the powertrain warranty from 100000 miles to 60000 miles. They have not fixed the issues with the 3.6 liter engine. They need to be investigated and made to make appropriate repairs.
