2012 Dodge Ram 1500 complaints

The contact owns a 2012 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 25 MPH, an abnormal noise could be heard coming from the vehicle without warning. The contact pulled over and discovered that the fuel tank was hanging from underneath the vehicle. The contact was able to strap the fuel tank back to the frame and drove the vehicle home. The contact's husband went underneath the vehicle and discovered that the frame where the fuel tank was attached had corroded, which caused the failure. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V160000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) however, the vehicle was not included in the recall. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 87,013.

SEEMS LIKE THIS IS NOT NEW, OTHERS THAT OWN THE SAME 1500 MODEL HAVE ISSUES WITH LIFTS AND CAMSHAFT CAUSING A MISS FIRE, P030SOMETHING (MINES IS P0303). THE SPARK PLUS/ FUEL INJECTORS/ AND COIL PACKS HAVE BEEN CHANGED. OUT OF NOWHERE I GET A CODE WHILE DRIVING OUT OF TOWN. THE TRUCK HAS ALWAYS HAD A RUNNING TICK TO IT. I HAVE MY VECHILE SERVICED BY DODGE THEMSELVES. THEY NEVER STATED IT WAS AN ISSUE. THIS IS A BIG ISSUE IN HEMI 5.7 ENGINES MANUFACTURED AFTER THE REDESIGNED FROM THE MAGNUM PLATFORM.

When driving at parking lot speeds on extremely hot days and/or a lot of in town driving, brakes not responding and brake pedal will go to the floor. Have ran a stop sign and came close to rear ending other vehicles at red lights. Dealer replaced rear brakes (Calipers, Rogers & Pads) Problem still exist and is currently back at Dealership. They can't find anything wrong.

THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WITHOUT NOTICE EVEN WHILE DRIVING AND HAS TO BE RESTARTED IN ORDER TO MOVE AGAIN. FOR INSTANCE, I WAS DRIVING ALONG ON OR ABOUT 08/02/2021 AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF BY ITSELF WHILE I WAS DRIVING CAUSING ME TO ALMOST GET REAR ENDED. THE COMPONANT HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND FOUND FAULTY. THE OTHER SYMPTOMS ARE PROBLEMS LOCKING DOORS AND OPENING WINDOWS.

The contact owns a 2012 RAM 1500. The contact stated after refueling and driving back to the residence, he heard an abnormally loud grinding sound coming from the vehicle. The contact pulled over to the side of the road and inspected the vehicle and noticed that the front gas T-rod gas strap bracket slot was corroded and had detached from the vehicle frame. The contact continued driving back to the residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 153,000.

I hear a ticking noise coming from the engine . From doing some research I see that it could be a lifter roller needle bearing failure is often the cause of the Hemi Tick. However, the Hemi also has issue with exhaust manifold leaks, which at times can make it hard to differentiate and diagnose between an internal tick (The "Hemi Tick") and a simple exhaust leak.

Truck won't go into park then it locks. I reset it with the pin stop and it happens again (t-79) ? A week ago it had trouble sticking in reverse

2012 RAM 1500 HEMI TICK ISSUE. SUPPOSED TO BE A LIFTER. REPLACED ALL LIFTERS AND NOW MY TRUCK WONT START. TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND WAS TOLD I NEED A NEW ENGINE.

THE TRUCK SHUTS DOWN WHILE IN MOTION DRIVING, NO CODES COME UP,YOU STILL HAVE RADIO PLAYING AND AIR, ITS LIKE YOU TURNED IT OFF ,IT DOES START BACK, THIS HAPPENS RANDOM, I WAS LUCKY AN ACCIDENT HASN'T OCCURRED YET, I BELIEVE IT'S THE IGNITION SWITCH,I ALSO NOTICED THAT IF YOU TOUCH THE KEY IT WILL SHUT OFF BUT STILL BE IN THE OPERATION MODE

WHEN DRIVING TODAY MY FUEL TANK FELL DOWN BECAUSE THE STRAP PULLED OUT OF THE FRAME. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ON2012 RAM PICKUPS BUT NOT MY VIN NUMBER. WAS WONDERING IF MY TRUCK COULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL

WHEN MOVING VEHICLE AFTER FUELING, TRUCK WAS STOPPED, PUT IN PARK AND DRIVER OPENED THE DOOR TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE TRUCK UNEXPECTEDLY BEGAN MOVING BACKWARD AND THE DRIVER WAS KNOCKED TO THE GROUND BY THE DOOR. THE DOOR CAUGHT THE DOOR ON THE FUEL PUMP GUARD POST, BENDING THE DOOR BACK BEYOND 90 DEGREES AND BENDING THE HINGE, AND CAUSING IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO THE DOOR AND FENDER, AND ALSO CAUSED DAMAGE TO A CAR FUELING AT THE PUMP WHEN IT STRUCK IT. THE DOOR DOES NOT OPEN OR CLOSE PROPERLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE FORWARD DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO MISFIRE AND SHUDDER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE COILS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. NO DEALER WAS CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 129,000.

ALONG WITH MANY OTHER PEOPLE WHO OWN THE SAME MODEL OF TRUCK I HAVE EVERYONE HAS SEEMED TO COME ACROSS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE CAMSHAFT AND LIFTERS CAUSING EVERY CAR PLACE IN MY STATE TO BE OUT OF THE PARTS TO FIX IT. I NOTICED THE TRUCK WAS HAVING A HARD TIME SHIFTING AND ACTING WEIRD SO I BROUGHT IT IN TO GET CODED AND WHEN IT WAS GETTING CODED I WAS TOLD BY THE TECH THAT THE 7TH CYLINDER WAS OUT ALONG WITH ISSUES WITH THE CAMSHAFT AND HE HAS SEEN IT IN AN ALARMING AMOUNT OF TRUCKS. SO MUCH THAT THEY COULDN'T GET HANDS ON THE PARTS TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. UPON LOOKING ONLINE THIS IS INDEED A HUGE ISSUE IN HEMI 5.7 ENGINES MANUFACTURED AFTER 2010.

2012 DODGE RAM 1500 HEMI STALLS WHILE DRIVING, STOPPING AT RED LIGHT, OR TURNING. VERY DANGEROUS. THEN WON'T START, WHEN IT DOES START IT DIES INSTANTLY. FUEL PUMP ISSUE. TIPM ISSUE. DEALERSHIP EXTERNAL FUEL PUMP RELAY KIT REQUIRES CUTTING WIRES UNDER THE TIPM. DEALERSHIP WILL REPLACE TIPM FOR ABOUT $1500 IT IS A DODGE ISSUE SHOULD HAVE A RECALL. TRUCK SITTING IN DRIVEWAY, PAYING INSURANCE ON A TRUCK THAT WON'T START. ONLY 80,000 MILES, CHRYSLER DODGE VEHICLES FREQUENTLY HAVE THIS ISSUE. PLEASE RECALL THEM. THANKS CAN NOT EVER IMAGINE BUYING A DODGE AGAIN.

THEIR IS A RECALL ON CHRYSLER VECHICLES 2008 THROUGH 2010 THE WIRELESS IGNITION NODE (WIN) MODULE ON YOUR VEHICLE MAY HAVE UNINTENTIONAL MOVEMENT OF THE FREQUENCY OPERATED BUTTON IGNITION KEY (FOBIK) FROM THE 'ON' TO THE 'ACCESSORY' POSITION WHILE DRIVING. THIS COULD CAUSE UNINTENDED ENGINE SHUT OFF AND INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH. INITIALLY MY 2012 DODGE RAM 1500, HAS A SIMILAR PROBLEM THE IGNITION (WIN )HAS PLAY IN THE SWITCH , PROBLEM WITH INTERMITTENT START , MECHANIC HAS TO WIGGLE KEY , OR TURN HARD TO START , SAYS WIN NEEDS REPLACING , ONLINE I HAVE SEEN THAT THIS IS A TYPICAL PROBLEM OF THIS YEAR OF DODGE RAM, SEVERAL POSTS OF THIS ISSUE.

THE FUEL PUMP REMAINS RUNNING AFTER VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING AND AT SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY, INTERSTATE, OR STREET OCCASIONALLY THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF CAUSING NO LIGHTS IF OPERATING AT NIGHT TIME AND NO POWER STEERING AND GAUGE CLUSTER IS ALSO OFF. AFTER PULLING OVER AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE AND JIGGLING THE IGNITION KEY AND TURNING IGNITION KEY TO START THE VEHICLE THEN IT WILL START AND RUN NORMALLY UNTIL THE NEXT INCIDENT ACCRUES. I HAVE FOUND THAT THE IGNITION ON THESE PARTICULAR VEHICLES GO BAD FOR WHATEVER REASON AND LOSE CONTACT WHICH TURNS THE VEHICLE OFF WHILE DRIVING AT ANYTIME. ON MY VEHICLE IT DOESN'T ACCRUE ALL THE TIME BUT ENOUGH TO MAKE IT VERY UNSAFE. MY VEHICLE JUST TURNED 59,000 MILES AND HAVEN'T HAD ANY ISSUES UNTIL NOW.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD STUD/BOLT FAILURE CAUSING EXHAUST LEAK AND TICKING NOISE. PASSENGER SIDE.

POWER WINDOWS WORKED WEN THEY WANTED TO . WHILE DRIVING ALL WARNING LIGHTS WOULD FLASH ON IN THE CLUSTER LIKE I TURNED THE KEY OFF THEN ON . TRUCK KEPT RUNNING . STARTED GETTING HARD TO START . ONCE LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING LIKE IT WAS RUNNING OUT OF GAS . NOW IT DOESN'T START AT ALL . HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE TIPM . I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE RAM TRUCKS .

WITH THE COLD WEATHER, IT'S NOT CRANKING. I HAD A NEW BATTERY AND STARTER INSTALLED AND IT STILL DOESN'T CRANK UNLESS IT'S IN NEUTRAL AND I PRESS THE FUEL PEDDLE. IF IT SETS FOR TOO LONG IN COLD, I HAVE TO REPEAT THE PROCESS AND NO LONGER AM ABLE TO USE REMOTE START AND SOMETIMES HAVE TO BE JUMPED OFF.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON AND MY HORN OR CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK. NOT SURE IF I GOT IN AN ACCIDENT THAT MY AIR BAG WOULD ACTUALLY DEPLOY.. THINKING IT IS A CLOCK SPRING ISSUE.. HAD A RECALL ON MY 2011 WRANGLER AND SAME THING WAS HAPPENING TO THAT VEHICLE ALSO..THIS HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER I STARTED THE VEHICLE AFTER WORK TODAY.

THE ENGINE COOLING HAS A BAD DESIGN FOR THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS SO 2 BOLTS ON EACH SIDE BROKE OFF IN THE ENGINE BLOCK AND NOW THERE IS LARGE EXHAUST LEAKS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ENGINE. THIS IS THE MOST COMMON DEFECT I HAVE SEEN BY TALKING TO PEOPLE AND ON ANY FORUM AND AM VERY SURPRISED THIS ISN'T A RECALL ALREADY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 RAM 2500. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HER SON WAS DRIVING 25 MPH, HE HEARD AN ABNORMAL SOUND AND PARKED THE VEHICLE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE DRIVER STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE DRIVER STATED WHILE EXAMINING THE VEHICLE, HE SAW THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIE ROD DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO MEND THE TIE ROD AND DRIVE TO HIS RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER MOREHART MURPHY REGIONAL AUTO CENTER (31 PARKER AVE, DURANGO, CO 81303, (970) 247-2121) AND MADE THE DEALER AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED HER SON REPAIRED THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIE ROD AND STEERING LINKAGE. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V350000 (STEERING) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 170,00.

MY 2012 RAM 1500 IS EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE WIN MODULE AND WILL SHUT OFF AT ANY GIVEN TIME. IT WILL SOMETIMES NOT START AND IT HAS DIED ON ME ON THE INTERSTATE RUNNING 55MPH+. THE WIN MODULE HAS BEEN RECALLED ON OTHER MODELS OF CHRYSLER DODGE MODELS BUT NOT THE RAM. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE OFTEN TIMES I HAVE MY CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE AND I LOOSE STEERING WHEN IT SHUTS OFF. I'VE READ IN NUMEROUS FORUMS AND TALKED WITH OTHER WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AND HAVE GOTTEN NO WHERE WITH GETTING IT FIXED. I WOULD LIKE THIS SAFETY ISSUE TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE ME AND MY CHILDREN OR SOMEONE ELSE IS SEVERELY INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS SIMPLE YET VERY EXPENSIVE FIX AT OWNERS COST.

ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS STARTED TO MALFUNCTION OR NOT WORK. DRIVER SIDE LOCK, RADIO, POWER TO ENGINE STALLING. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS THE RELAY FUSE COMPARTMENT UNDER THE HOOD.

EXHAUSTED MANIFOLD ON DRIVER SIDE MAKING LOUD NOISE, TOTALLY DEFECTIVE COMPONENT

ENGINE MAKING TICKING NOISE ON PASSENGER SIDE OF ENGINE. TICKING GOES AWAY AFTER IT WARMS UP.

CAMSHAFT SENSOR

RAM 1500S HAVE AN ISSUE WHERE IMPROPER MATERIALS WERE USED IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD RESULTING IN BOLTS BREAKING OFF AND CAUSING HAZARDOUS EXHAUST LEAKS. MINE CURRENTLY HAS THE SAME ISSUE AND UPON SEARCHING THE INTERNET, IT IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM THAT SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT. THE LEAK IS DIAGNOSABLE BY A TICKING COMING FROM THE ENGINE BAY AT START UP FROM WHERE THE HEAT SHIELD ON THE MANIFOLD VIBRATE DUE TO THE BROKEN BOLTS, OFTEN CAUSING AN EXHAUST LEAK AT THE SITE OF THE BROKEN BOLT.

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAD LIGHT GOES OFF AND ON PERIODICALLY SOMETIMES WHEN YOUR DRIVING DONE THE ROAD IT FLICKERS AND GOES OFF WE HAVE TRIED REPLACEMENTS PARTS AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES

VEHICLE HAS 138,358 MILES AND HAS HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE. HOWEVER, THE CAM SHAFT HAS WORN AND ROCKER ARM HAS BECOME LOOSE AND IS CAUSING CYLINDER 5 TO MISFIRE (P0305). THIS FAILURE HAS CAUSED THE TRUCK TO LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY OR TIMES OF ACCELERATION TO CROSS TRAFFIC OR CLIMB STEEP ROAD GRADES. INITIAL INVESTIGATION BY AUTO MECHANIC STATES THAT CAM SHAFT AND ROCKER ARM NEED REPLACING. ADDITIONAL INVESTIGATION IS NEEDED TO SEE IF VALVLES ARE DETERIORATING AND NEED REPLACING.

I AM CURIOUS ABOUT RECALL U04. IT HAS TO DO WITH THE SLOT CORRODING THAT HOLDS THE FROM OF THE GAS TANK. MINE HAS CORRODED AND DROPPED THE GAS TANK, I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE RECALL CLEARLY STATES IF THE VEHICLE WAS REGISTERED IN MARYLAND AT ANYTIME THAT THE RECALL APPLIES. THIS IS DEFINITELY THE PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK AS THE SLOT HAS CORRODED AND THE STRAP CAME DOWN DROPPING MY TANK. I WOULD SOMEHOW LIKE TO GET MY TRUCK ON THE RECALL SINCE IT CLEARLY FITS THE RECALL DESCRIPTION. THE CHRYSLER RECALL REFERENCE IS U04. WHEN I PUT IN MY VIN THIS RECALL COMES UP BUT I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER RECALL SERVICE MY VIN IS NOT LISTED. THE NUMBER I CALLED WAS 1-800-853-1403. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH WHEN MY GAS TANK DROPPED. I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE AT CARMAX IN MARYLAND

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) FAILED INTERMITTENTLY AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. A DEALER WAS CONTACTED HOWEVER, INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT NO RECALL WAS ON THE VIN. THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE RECURRING. THE CONTACT MENTIONED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V530000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 183,500.

MY AIR BAG WIRING HARNESS UNDER THE SEAT HAS BEEN CUT DUE TO THE SEAT BEING MOVED BACK AND FORTH. THE HARNESS WAS ROUTED ABOVE THE TRACK ON THE SEAT AND OVER TIME IT GOT CUT AND OR UNPLUGGED AS THE WIRE WAS TOO SHORT. I HAVE TO HAVE THE WHOLE SYSTEM REPLACED IN ORDER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THERE HAS BEEN 7 DIFFERENT EMAILS SENT TO CHRYSLER DODGE IN MICHIGAN WITH A COUPLE OF RETURN RESPONSES. I HAVE PAID OUT OF POCKET AND TIME TO HAVE THIS ISSUE TRY TO BE RESOLVED ON LOCAL LEVEL AND NOW IT HAS GONE FAR BEYOND WHAT I CAN DO AND NEEDS TO BE ESCALATED AS THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM. THE AIR BAG HARNESS NOT BEING CONNECTED WILL CAUSE IT NOT TO DEPLOY DURING AN ACCIDENT OR MAYBE MALFUNCTION AND DEPLOY DURING DRIVING. THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND NEEDS TO BE HANDLED. *LN *JS

LIFTERS ON TRUCKAND CAMSHAFT FAILED CAUSING LOSS OF POWER AND MISFIRE.TRICK HAS ABOUT 115,000 MILES ON THERE NOW. HAD NO POWER OFF THE LINE ON THE HIGHWAY.

DRIVING ALONG AND TRUCK TURNS OFF BY ITSELF 3-5 SECONDS THEN ENGINE RESTARTS BY ITSELF. I'M WORRIED IT'S GONNA CAUSE ME TO GET INTO AND ACCIDENT. DODGE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM ACROSS A LOT OF YEARS WITH NO RECALL FOR MY TRUCK.

THE FUEL PUMP RUNS CONTINUOUSLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF WITH NO KEY IN THE IGNITION. THIS CAUSES THE BATTERY TO DIE AND USUALLY LEAVES ME STRANDED. THERE IS ALSO AN ISSUE WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL. THIS FEATURE IS DESIGNED TO NOT LET THE VEHICLES REAR WHEELS SPIN OUT OF RATIO, WHICH BASICALLY STOPS THE REAR TIRES FROM SPINNING OUT. HOWEVER, IT SENDS FALSE SIGNALS THAT THEY ARE IT STALLS THE VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN TBONED SEVERAL TIMES TO DUE THE TRUCK STALLING AND LEAVING ME A SITTING DUCK TO INCOMING TRAFFIC. LASTLY, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON, LEAVING ME TO BELIEVE IT'S ALSO RECEIVING FALSE SIGNALS. HOPEFULLY THEY DO NOT DEPLOY WHILE I'M DRIVING. IF THEY DO AND I LIVE, I'LL BE BACK TO TELL YOU ABOUT IT. AFTER DOING A LOT OF RESEARCH, ALL OF THESE ISSUES SEEM TO BE RELATED TO A BAD TIPM. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MAJOR ISSUE ON THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES PRODUCED BY CHRYSLER AND SOME MODELS HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED AFTER A LAWSUIT. IN MY OPINION THESE ISSUES COULD RESULT IN BODILY INJURY OR DEATH, AND A SAFETY RECALL SHOULD NOT BE DENIED.

THE SERVICE 4WD LIGHT COMES ON AND THE TRUCK MAKES A WEIRD NOISE AND IT HAS THE RIGHT FLUID IN THE TRANSFER CASE AND THE DIFFERENTIALS ARE ALL GOOD BUT WHENEVER THE FULL SERVICE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT COMES ON THE TRUCK MAKES UP FUNNY GRINDING IN A RED UP ON THE INTERNET AND NOBODY KNOWS WHY AND THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM I AM.

I AM GETTING A LOUD HUMMING VIBRATION NOISE, SOUNDS LIKE A TURBO ISSUE WITH THE HEMI COMING EITHER FROM MY TRANSMISSION OR REAR AXEL AT HIGH AND LOW SPEED. IT'S MORE NOTICEABLE AT 65 TO 75 MPH HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO BILL BRYAN IN FLORIDA AND THEY WHERE UNABLE TO FIND ANY ISSUES EXPERIENCING LOST OF POWER. ONGOING ISSUE WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN .

MY DODGE RAM 1500 HAS ISSUES WITH THE IGNITION AND DOESN'T ALWAYS START. SOME TIMES IT WILL START AFTER 2-3 ATTEMPTS OF ENGAGING THE SWITCH. IT WILL ALSO DIE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. HITTING BUMPS WILL CAUSE THE TRUCK TO DIE AS WELL. BECOMING VERY DANGEROUS. UNHAPPY THIS TRUCK WAS NOT RECALLED WHEN THESE ISSUES WERE RECALLED IN SAME YEAR AND IN SIMILAR VEHICLES. *TR

Y'ALL MANIFOLDS ARE FAULTY. I JUST REPLACED MY MANIFOLD AND SCREW TWO YEARS AGO AND AGIN THE SAME ISSUE THIS COST 800-900 DOLLARS. THIS IS FAULTY ON MANUFACTURER PART.

GEAR SHIFT INDICATORS GO OUT FROM TIME TO TIME RADIO VOLUME COMES ON AND GOES OFF CONSISTENTLY ENGINE VALVE NOISE ARE TICKING SOUND VIBRATION AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS EVEN AFTER 3 DIFFERENT TIRE BALENCES

IN THE MORNING WHILE STARTING TRUCK NO PROBLEM, ALL OF A SUDDEN WHILE DRIVING ON STREET THE TRUCK JUST TURNED OFF. IT HAD HAPPENED BEFORE ON 3 OTHER OCCASIONS BUT THE FIRST ONE WAS FAR APART THEN THE OTHER 2 IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS. WHEN I GOT ON THE FREEWAY I NOTICED A HAD TO PUSH HARDER ON THE GAS PEDAL TO GAIN SPEED BUT IT FELT LIKE IT WAS HARD TO PRESS ON AND I WASN'T GETTING TO THE SPEED (60MPH) SO I JUST TOOK IT SLOWLY TO GAIN SPEED. THAT LASTED ABOUT A WEEK. THE FOLLOWING WEEK AFTER TRYING TO GAIN SPEED AT ABOUT 45-50 MPH THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING REALLY BAD SO I LET GO OF THE GAS PEDAL AND TOOK IT SLOW AGAIN. SO I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC TO GET A BASIC TUNE UP SINCE I HAD JUST GOTTEN AN OIL CHANGE HE WOULD JUST DO SPARK PLUGS ON3/5/20 TO SEE IF IT WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. AFTER EXPLAINING TO HIM WHAT IT WAS DOING HE TOLD ME RIGHT AWAY THAT IT'S PROBABLY THE CAMSHAFT AND HYDRAULIC LIFTERS WORN OUT WITH MY TRUCK MILEAGE OF 108,000 IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE BECAUSE I ALWAYS MAKE SURE MY TRUCK IS UP TO DATE WITH EVERYTHING. BY THIS TIME NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD TURNED ON. SO I DROVE IT ANOTHER WEEK AND HALF WITH THE SAME ISSUES; FINALLY ON 3/16/20 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON AND I TOOK IT TO GET IT CHECKED AT AUTOZONE AND OREILYS AND BOTH COMPUTER FINDING WERE CODE P0385 WHICH IS A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 5 WHICH IS HYDRAULIC LIFTER, CAMSHAFT, AND POSSIBLE IGNITION COIL GONE BAD. I DECIDED TO NOT USE MY TRUCK UNTIL I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC WHICH I DID ON 03/24/20. HIS FINDING WER

CAMSHAFT ON HEMI ENGINES ARE DEFECTIVE AND FAIL CAUSING ENGINE TO FAIL AND COSTING OWNER $6,000 TO REPAIR. THIS DEFECT IS EFFECTING THOUSANDS OF THESE ENGINES AND DODGE/RAM NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. HAD MINE REPAIRED FOR $6,000 BY A DODGE DEALERSHIP IN CT. SINCE HAVE COME TO FIND OUT THIS DEFECT IS RAMPANT ON THESE ENGINES ON MANY YEARS OF RAM TRUCKS WITH HEMI ENGINE. DODGE MUST OWN UP TO THIS AND THEY MUST BE RECALLED. ONLY FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CAN GET THEM TO DO THIS BECAUSE IT IS THE ENGINE WHICH IS AT STAKE.
