There are bolts on the manifold that keep breaking. I have gone into the shop 3 times for call back issues. Each time they check my manifold, I have bolts that are broken. 1.5 years ago I replaced 2 bolts. In may of 2018 I replaced 2 bolts. In July of 2018 I replaced 7 bolts. The dealer says they replace bolts on the Dodge, every week. They call it a Dodge thing. They say it is from the torque, when it heats up. They are breaking while I am driving.

2014 Dodge Ram 250. Consumer writes in regards to brake transmission shift interlock safety recall.
- Lake Orion, MI, USA
T79 brake transmission shift interlock. My understanding is that a fix for this locking pin has not been created. So this will cause it to possibly shift out of park with out warning. So the part has not broken yet with 91K plus on it. Which is not good for sure because it could break at any given time and I pull a lot of trailers. Also trying to sell my truck have lost several sells due to it. Plus even tried to sell and can not trade it in even. So cant get out from under the truck.
- Pride, LA, USA
Remedy for T79 recall continues to not be available. Notified of this recall December 20th 2017. Recall not fixed in a timely manner.

When 4X4 service is required the trucks drive system will rattle very loud forcing the truck to come to a complete stop. The truck must be shut off and restarted this will happen every 1000 miles until service is performed. This happened about 4000 miles before my 60,000 mile service on the interstate pulling a fifth wheel and then again 3000 miles before required service. This happened again at 76,000 miles on the interstate single lane no shoulder in the mountains of Utah. This is very dangerous. I get a reminder message for required service, but the 4X4 service reminder is unacceptable.

When driving on the road and you let off the gas pedal, then you need to accelerate to get out of the way of someone or to avoid a near accident, you press the gas pedal all the way down and there is a couple second delay to a few seconds, a lag, before the truck appears to receive the command to hurry up and go. It has caused me to almost be rear ended and be in an accident with my wife and daughter in my truck.

When pulling a travel trailer going up or down a steep grade with the vehicle in tow hall the transmission will hang up in any given gear forcing you to apply the break and shift the vehicle into neutral then back into drive this has been reported to lone star doge 1309 S. pacific mineola tx. The dealership said no codes were found so nothing was wrong. I have had this happen several times and am worried about driving the truck now. I have taken the truck into the dealer multiple times for this issue and it still has not been repaired. I take it in one time and they tell me it is fixed after they work on it it is not fixed and I take it in again and they say it is the egr valve so I have that fixed and it is still doing the same thing so I bring it in again and they say it is something else and I would need to pay for repairs again. This should have been covered under the warranty but they say this needs to be fixed first before the warranty work can be done why cant they just fix the warranty work instead of find things that "have to be fixed before that work can be done" with no relation to the transmisssion.

I have had several incidents this year of the transmission lever being stuck in park. This is with engine on, brake pedal depressed, and emergency brake released. You could not move the lever at all you were stuck, after 30-60 sec, and repeated attempts to move the lever, it eventually moved to drive. This was reported to the local Dodge Ram dealer lone star doge 1309 S. pacific St. In mineolia tx this year, who claims not to be able to reproduce the problem. No paperwork was even written up on the incident.

Dead peddle issues

Transmission gear selector remains locked in park from 5 to >30 seconds, after starting engine and depressing brake pedal first. Gear selector cannot be then moved with engine running and brake pedal depressed. Thus vehicle cannot be driven.
- Macon, GA, USA
When I accelerate there is a lag. This is from a stop or while applying the accelerator, and pushing it more to pass or merge. Also this lag at any speed seems to make the truck lunge, and it feels like it may be shifting wrong.
