The exhaust manifold bolts have broken three times on my 2019 Ram 1500, LImited, 5.7L causing the O2 sensor to apparently trim the fuel out differently than when it does not leak, likely causing the truck to operate outside of the emission requirement. This has been an issue for many years for all owners, some dealers provide warranty repair and other do not. The diesel engine option for this same truck has a recall on the exhaust manifold, but not the gas engine. Please read the forums about this problem to see that nearly all of these trucks have this problem, causing a significant concern with "legal" emissions.

My Ram Rebel 1500 is once again in the shop for repair of broken manifold bolts. They have had my vehicle for 4 days now on this repair and multiple days on the previous broken manifold bolt repair. This is a continual problem with Ram 1500-??s. I asked if they could put a better bolt in and they said no because the warranty covers certain bolts. So, I said I can expect this to happen again and only hope it is still under warranty? And the answer was basically, yes. The first time the bolts broke the mileage was around 40,000 i believe. The second time it is 51,000.

Good morning, I am the proud owner of a 2019 Dodge Ram 1500 Hybrid, which is one of 4 I have owned over the majority of decade. While I obviously have put my trust in Ram for a really long time, that trust has been being betrayed since I have owned this one. In the last 6-months alone, my Ram has been down awaiting one spare part or another. Parts that Ram recognized as a problem shortly after the 2019 Hybrid 1500 was released and made several mid-model-year engineering changes, but never issued a recall, and because those replacement parts like the New Alternator Harness, are only just now being released with most having a 6-12 week lead time. The Alternator Harness being one of the parts that my Ram has been waiting on now for more than a month. That said, if that had of been the only problem, there-??s a strong probability that I wouldn-??t have mentioned it! With this being the 3rd time in 2023 and another on late 2022, and not having the new (used) Ram I just bought and pay $850 a month for (not including insurance), and it with it seeming to be more of a systemic issue, with literally thousands of people dealing with similar issues on their 2019 and it-??s something that needs to be addressed, as even if it wasn-??t thousands, but only hundreds, or even 1-person having these issues, if Ram saw these as significant enough issues, that they felt it necessary to re-engineer them, then Ram-??s customers shouldn-??t be stuck paying out their hard earned money, for vehicle that should have never been released with the original parts design. In the instance with my 2019 Ram, having it be out of commission for almost have 2023 is hard yo chew! Especially when it has less than 50,000-miles, with only roughly 10,000 coming since I bought it in October 2021. When you add the fact that Ram redesigned the number of parts they did, then never did a recall, but still force the Customers to pay for those parts! My Ram has been down for almost 6-months just this year

Water pump failure at 70, xxx miles, caused coolant to spray throughout the engine bay which will cause premature rusting and/failure of other components.

Exhaust manifold bolts broken on both banks and warped manifolds because of inferior product, common on all 5.7 hemi, exhaust gases get in the cab of truck at times, Dodge is aware and elects to do nothing about it after getting my 70000 dollars, complete bullshit, look on any ram forum and you will see

Had bot exhaust manifolds replaced with under 44k miles first manifold cracked under 20k miles. Ram will only honor these repairs until 60k 5 years. Everyone I know has had theirs crack this is obviously a design or casting problem. It will likely happen again. Why is this company not held to fix these issues under initial owner after the warranty. especially if it is a known issue.

Hi The Stop/Start system is not working correctly, the engine stated to misfire randomly and now 70,00 + miles the stop and start system is making the truck unsafe to drive. I have taken it to my local ram / jeep dealer and the problem is not fixed.

RAM vehicles that are equipped with the 5.7 L hemi engine are known to have cracked exhaust manifold. This has been an ongoing issue since the 5.7 engine was introduced. Ram has done nothing to remedy. This RAM is continuing to charge consumers for Repair for a known issue. The consumers who do bring this to the dealership to have this repaired, or on a waitlist for at least 4 to 7 months for the part to come from manufacturer, while they are still producing 5.7 L engines with the same manifold why consumers are waiting a lot of 4 to 7 months, they have now elapsed their manufacture warranty and are not covered under that warranty and now need to come out of pocket for this repair This is a money grab and RAM. Needs to be Held responsible for this.

The Dodge Ram that I had just suddenly stop and not restart. Had it towed to the Ram dealership. Belt tension broke. That's what the dealership said.

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!
