There is a design flaw with the block geometry, which leads to a condition where the rollers on the Lifters do not receive proper lubrication, eventually cease, and wear out the Cam. This happened to me on Sunday, June 4, 2023, while I was pulling out of a busy intersection, had a misfire, lost significant power, and slimly avoided a major car accident. The cost of the repair is still being evaluated; however, it will likely be measured in thousands. The safety issue is the real concern. RAM knows about this problem, continues to do nothing about it, and would not budge when I asked for assistance with this repair.

This is a known issue with the hemi motor. Dodge, still to this day, have not done a recall. My truck had 80,000 miles when the exhaust manifolds bolts were broken off due to warping. Dealership for whatever reason only replaced the gasket and the bolts but I have to go back again for the same exact reason. They will probably replace the manifolds this time.

Truck had check engine light and sever loss of power Intermittently. Brought to dealer to have it checked. Dealer said they cannot clear the code or fix the issue as the recall in effect does not have the parts out to fix. Recall z46 has been in effect since June of 22 and there is still no solution. I called manufacturer to ask about it and they all they said was quote "I'm sorry there's nothing we can do about it".

2019 Ram Ecodiesel 3.0. I was Driving back to work on Easter Sunday 2023 after visiting family. It was a 5 hour trip, I was halfway through when the engine started making a loud banging sound. I pulled over & the engine died and would not turn over. I am sure the engine threw a rod, two other driver stopped & asked if everything was ok because they could hear the engine noise from their cars when it happened. There were no check engine lights or messages before or during the engine failing. I had to get a tow truck & tow it to the nearest dealer. It has been at the dealer for 2 weeks, they still have not diagnosed a problem but said if it is the engine it is on backorder & they don't know when it will be fixed & they refuse to give me a loaner. The truck is still under powertrain warranty. Where is my consumer protection? It is beyond frustrating to pay big money for something & not have what you paid for. I bought the truck for reliable transportation & Ram refuses to give me another vehicle. I am still having to pay insurance & car tag fees for my truck while I wait for an answer from the dealer, I have no idea if they will warranty it or when the truck will be repaired. On a separate note there is also an open fuel pump recall on my truck that is close to a year old with no ETA on a fix. I did not purchase a vehicle with plans to never have the recall fixed, I had one RAM dealer in Laurel, MS tell me it was an unrepairable recall & they were not even interested in purchasing my truck or a trade in due to the recall before my engine failed.

My vehicle is a 2019 Ram 1500 laramie which developed a ticking sound on the passenger side of the engine. After doing my research, this seems to be a common problem with the Ram hemi engine on both the driver and passenger sides. There are many owners stating that this is due to the engine manifold or bolts and sometimes both cracking from warping of the manifold. After inspection, the manifold and bolts are both cracked and need to be replaced. This seems to be more than common and an ongoing issue with this vehicle and Chrysler needs to address this.

To my knowledge this is a very common issue with the 5.7L Hemi. My 2019 Ram 1500 Classic bighorn that currently sits at just over 51,000 miles has notorious Hemi tic. I have done my research and have found over 75 people that have had the same issue. I have heard that it is due to too many hrs of idle time but I have read and seen many videos showing that the underlying cause is due to faulty lifters, cams and also the horrible MDS. I have noticed that Ram went to the engine management system that shuts the truck off when you come to a complete stop instead of the MDS that shuts down several of the cylinders when at a consistent speed. I would like for something to be done not only for me but other customers that like the Ram trucks! This has not been diagnosed by dealership but I have worked on vehicles my entire life and have done my fair share of research on this subject!

Ticking noise. Issue with manifold. Had it fixed in 2022. Now it's occurring again. Called my local Dodge dealership and they said these parts are on back order because "so many are having the same issue". And asked if it was "still under warranty". #dodge When will this obvious recall actually be fixed? So many of your loyal customers are having issues. Your service depts are backed up with no parts. If you think we will stay loyal, you're wrong.

On Jan 2nd 2023 I just left the grocery store with my youngest daughter and heading home. While on the freeway my 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie stopped accelerating even with my foot on the gas and my head lights shut off and dash lights were flickering and I lost complete power while making it to the next exit barely able to turn the wheel since no power steering was available and we made it about half way up the ramp and stalled completely. Yes I said up the off ramp and check the date it was SNOWING! WITH MY CHILD IN THE TRUCK. No power, no hazard lights NOTHING to keep us from getting hit. I was able to get it jumped went bought a AGM battery and by the time I drove back home which is about 2 miles the new BATTERY WAS DEAD. Bring it to the dealership after checking (voltages and that the battery can be and hold charge my OBD read only power drain with the battery and Engine dash lights illuminated. Can charge the battery and I would get about 45-60 min of driving because the battery wasn't being charged). I tell them it's the exact description of campaign (V87) 1. System unable to charge battery. 2. Losing power to everything. (Which could have killed us). 3. Only the battery and Engine lights are illuminated. This point to the MGU not working properly. However dealer ship told me it's not even close to that so I excuse them and asked them to repeat that and they said it was the 48v battery that went bad while quoting me $3,700 for the repair indicating it was out of warranty. With the age of these batteries die this soon on the E-torque systems that means EVERYONE WILL BE SPENDING AN AVERAGE OF $6,000-$9,000 EXTRA ON THE 48V BATTERY You need to do whats right and have this recalled immediately before someone has to die or worse a child dies.
