The EGR valve and EGR cooler went out and it caused the MAP sensor to melt and also caused the intake manifold to melt and if I didn-??t shut the truck off it was going to catch on fire. And this truck has had this problem in the past due to a recall and it was repaired and it happened again on may 4th 2025

I am reporting a recurring and well-documented issue involving broken exhaust manifold bolts on my 2017 Ram 1500 with the 5.7L HEMI engine. My truck has only 47,000 miles, and the driver-side manifold has already required repair once due to broken bolts. Now, I am again hearing ticking noises and suspect further bolt failures and the passenger side, indicating this issue is not isolated but chronic and systemic. Thousands of other owners across Ram forums and communities have experienced the same failure, especially in Ram 1500s from 2009 to 2018 equipped with the 5.7L HEMI. The failures are typically caused by thermal expansion and contraction, which leads to the exhaust bolts snapping, particularly the rear ones. This results in exhaust leaks, increased emissions, and potential long-term engine damage. Despite the known and widespread nature of this defect, there has been no recall or extended warranty coverage from the manufacturer. Owners are frequently forced to cover expensive repairs (over $1,000) for what is clearly a design or material defect that occurs well below typical component lifespans. I respectfully request that the NHTSA investigate this issue and consider initiating a recall or mandatory service campaign. A critical engine component failing at such low mileage, and more than once, should not be dismissed as normal wear and tear.

I had the EGR recall completed but now the intake manifold is failing and I was told it could be damage from the cracked egr cooler. Dealership says none of it is under warranty.

Tone wheel failed at 68,300 miles, my vehicle shut off mid driving at 50mph and lost all power to accelerate and power steering and lastly ability to start. Luckily it was later in the day and traffic was light and I was able to coast onto a shoulder. safety recall 66a was only a flash fix which was all that was available on my truck while the known issue of 73a on my truck engine (tone wheel) is what failed and put mine and my sons lives at risk unnecessarily. FCA should be responsible to fix this known issue at their cost as it is an extremely dangerous situation that occurred. I am currently fighting with dealer and FCA to cover this so I only have the scan code and dealer fix for documentation at this point.

Driving truck down the road heard a loud pop, engine stalled. Found oil leaking under truck. Dealer said it-??s a known issue with the engine and would not cover replacement cost. Truck only has 90k miles. Engine failure while driving could have resulted in a major accident.

The contact owns a 2017 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving on a neighborhood street at 28 MPH and approaching a stop sign, the vehicle experienced a loss of automotive power, with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle coasted and came to a stop while the contact was pumping the brake pedal. The contact restarted the vehicle. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 54,035.

Vehicle has 55k miles on it. Started leaking oil out of the blue over 6 oz per day. Looked around to try and identify where the leak was coming from and it was on the upper end of the engine. Thought it may have been the oil filter gasket, but my mechanic said the oil cooler was cracked. and he claimed that it is a very common failure for this make/model due to the part being made mostly of plastic components. Plastic parts in constant contact with 240 degree oil seems to be no bueno.

I was driving my truck one day and it went into limp mode. Took it to the dealership and they diagnosed the engine and came to the conclusion it's the egr. But I had the egr recall done in 21, but now this egr has malfunction and has totalled my engine. Now my powertrain warranty won't cover this issue and I believe the solution was never fixed but a band aide in the matter. Is there anything yall can do.

1) Exhaust Manifold and exhaust bolts. Cause exhaust leak and puts me at risk of exhaust coming into passenger area. Ticking on cold start up til warms up. It's been reproduced and diagnosed at dealership. Exhaust manifold and exhaust manifold bolts are a well known issue that's has been reported multiple times and seems to be ignored. 2) Ignition Lock Cylinder on start up intermittently it sounds as if gets stuck turning over and will power up for 1-2 secs and shut off. Been reproduced at dealership. 3)Evap system code.

Took to the shop explained that our EGR was replace at the fresno crystler dodge dealership with same OEM part not the new fix because it didn't exist they closed the account and now EGR went out again and they refuse to replace the original recalled part truck because it has been 4 years since replaced and is sitting in the north knox dodge dealer with the EGR completely malfunctioned leaking coolant blowing smoke and smells like it's about to catch fire and both dealerships refuse to replace the part

Ram has known for years that they have Exhaust Manifold issues but will not recall any of the Hemi engines affected. Many complaints start in 2015 and go into 2020 models. They say it is a known issue, but no recall. This defect causes a ticking noise when a cold start and goes away, what doesn't go away is the leaking of exhaust from the manifold that can enter the cabin. This could be very serious.

Clogged particulate filter and catalytic converter No safety issue has been confirmed by a Ram dealer The vehicle has been inspected by the Ram dealer Engine light came on Dealer says the vehicle has to be driven a good distance to clean up the exhaust We only use the truck for short distances.

Truck was consuming coolant and you could smell it but can't see a leak then the service electronic throttle control light came on a few weeks later with a code reading P0402. This was a recall and has been replaced but was replaced before they had the proper fix for it. Dropped it off at dodge dealer this morning for further diagnosis.

- Corryton, TN, USA

As of a week ago I was driving and had a message come up on my dash stating that the engine is running hot. After looking I noticed half the coolant was missing, so I added more. A few days later I decided to check and yet again it-??s low, shortly later the check engine comes on. I did a check on codes and my sensors are mostly being affected by what-??s happening.Fast forward to June 16, 2024 I drive to work after adding more coolant that was down by half. After all this time I never seen a leak but only smelled it in my exhaust. I tried to move the vehicle into the shade and the vehicle won-??t turn over

Hello, I am one of the millions of confused Ram truck owners wondering why there has never been a recall issued on this terrible life threatening issue?! I personally own a 2017 Ram 1500 with the Hemi 5.7 and I have both passenger and drivers side exhaust manifolds making a horrible ticking noise and leaking exhaust fumes that come into the cabin of the truck no matter what you do! It used to be it only ticked at the first start of the day with a slight bit of exhaust fumes and it was only the passenger side ticking and leaking. Now it's both sides ticking that does not go away and exhaust fumes that are just horrible that make you sick. To me THIS IS a life threatening issue because of carbon monoxide poisoning! I bought my truck brand new off the lot and I take very good care of it and to this day it still looks great. This issue should be recalled and be the responsibility of Ram Trucks to repair for the safety of myself and the millions of Ram Truck owners! THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD NOT BE SWEPT UNDER THE RUG!!! Thank you for your time.
