I entered my vehicle 2018ram1500 this morning after it had being stored inside my garage overnight. i sat down, pressed the brake and was about to start it when i noticed the shifter dial was on 'r' and began beeping continuously. i used the ignition button to switch from 'off' "acc" to 'start' and back/forth and pressing on the brake until i was able to shift the transmission to 'p'. once in 'p' i pressed the brake and then started the truck. when i proceeded to move on reverse out of my garage, it began beeping continuously and flashing two messages on the display , "service shifter" followed by "service transmission shut off engine to engage park" then my radio blackout. i could still hear music and was able to control it but there was no display.
While driving home, i noticed some noise that ounde like a turbo noise and loos of power. i pulled over immediately shut off engine and poped hood. looke up and smoke from engine. opened hood and saw small fire on rear passenger side of engine by turbo housing. soon the truck was totally engulfed by flames.
Engine caught fire due to egr system overheating (maybe burning internally) melting then spontaneously catching foam rubber pad above the egr diffuser tube on fire. resulted in melting wires, hose and other parts attached to engine. was quickly put out with a fire extinguisher. was driving to menards in normal illinois and smelled smoke at first stop light, thought it was van next to me. at next stop light smelled the smoke again and pulled into menards parking lot. saw lots of smoke coming out from under hood. raised hood looking for where smoke was coming from. saw a small flame, went to back of truck and took out fire extinguisher. went to front of truck and flame had turned to flames, extinguished fire.
Tipm causing fuel pump to operate after ignition is turned off, draining battery, leaving family stranded in remote location.
My 2013 ram will lock the doors randomly, with no one in it or near it. its happened many times, now i have to leave a window down if im just unloading the back, or carry a spare key. i've been working in the yard, keys not even on me, and i hear "click" and all the doors are locked. this is a safety hazard as i could get locked out somewhere. i live in deep woods, there are no neighbors to have a conflicting key, so to speak. i have almost been locked out several times, but have either had a spare key, or left the window down while pumping gas, etc. this happens with the motor off, no one in the car, key fob may be in my pocket or 100 yards away in the house in a drawer. happened again yesterday, truck hadnt even been driven, i was out shoveling snow and i hear "click", all locked up again.
Error code p0463: fuel level sensor circuit high input, this means my fuel gauge is experiencing failures and i can not accurately determine how much fuel is in the vehicle. doing a quick google search, this appears to be a very common issue with the 2014 ram 1500 5.7l. i'm at roughly 68500 mile on my truck so the issue is also out of warranty.
While driving at any speed my truck shuts off intermittently. figured out when key fob is bumped engine shuts off an loses power. noticed that they have the same problem on other vehicles with the same wireless ignition module but my truck isn"t included on the recall
Faulty key switch. does not allow key to fully turn off, and has to be retried, sometimes 3 times. something like black piece inside keyhole sticks. truck is 3 yrs,4 months old, and has only 18253 miles on it. it is past bumper to bumper, but this sure seems awful premature to fail. i am guessing it is safe to drive when the key goes in, just make sure it shuts off properly.
