Lifter/ tapper failure in cylinders 3 and 5.
Cylinder misfire at high rpm. roller lifters getting stuck or wearing and causing grooves or excessive camshaft wear. random cylinders and lifters becoming stuck or bearings on lifters failing causing excessive and premature camshaft wear or failure of lobes on camshaft. 2012 hemi 5.7l engine. happens when engine put under a load such as getting onto highway or passing a slower moving vehicle. under load or higher rpm engine fault light illuminates and will blink on and off for a few seconds. purchased on 11/16/19 as used vehicle. odometer 147514.
While driving the vehicle on the highway, it lost power and shut off. had it towed to a mechanic and they said my valves, lifters, and camshaft were damaged. the truck only has 110,000 miles on it. when the truck lost power, it would have caused an accident, lucky though i was able to pull over in enough time, before another vehicle could hit me. this seems to be a common thing, with these trucks, the mechanic can't replace the pieces because of out of stock, so he wants to replace the whole engine. this issue needs to be investigated, before someone does get into an accident.
Loud ticking noise caused by lifter/camshaft malfunction. truck loses power. while driving on highway, truck started misfiring (cylinder 3). had to put on hazard flashers and drive at severely reduced speeds for 125 miles to get home. this is a major problem with the hemi engine. cannot get lifters due to supply and demand issues. if you can find lifters, the prices are outrageous. dodge dealer.states there are more than 10,000 lifters on back order. please, please, please investigate. we may have to let our truck go back to the bank as we cannot drive it but still owe 20k!!! please for the sake of thousands of affected dodge owners, do something!!!

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ram 1500. while driving approximately 40 mph, the vehicle suddenly stalled and was towed to stalling dodge (1245 38th blvd ne, cairo, ga). the cause of the failure was not determined. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 92,000.
I started to have trouble with the truck as it would not start in the mornings when i was trying to go to work. i replaced the fuel pump and it did not solve the problem. shortly after that, my battery would be dead most mornings. i replaced the battery, but still the problems continued. the truck started to lose power while i was driving so i took it to a mechanic. he told me that the tipm was faulty and needed to be replaced. i had to take it to the dealership i purchased it from to have it fixed. i have driven the truck less that 7000 miles since i purchased it. after speaking with fca, they say that they won't do anything to help out because the truck is out of warranty. i want to know why a recall was never put in place and enacted because i have seen thousands of complaints from people having the same problems. i would like to know why i'm having to pay $1794.03 out of pocket for the faults of the manufacturer pf the vehicle.
2012 ram 1500 - cranked my ram truck one morning and the engine had a knock with a tapping sound, turn off check the oil level which was ok! started the engine and only heard like a mainifold leak. after driving a few miles , i notice that the truck was shaky during take-off or climbing a hill. drop truck off at my mechanic for a tune-up and later that day my mechanic notified me the tune-up wasn't the problem. he remove the cams/lifters to #5 lifter and that lifter wasn't moving like 1,3 & 7. "is was like the lug on the cam were wore out."

Truck shuts down on occasions when you step on the brakes?
I bought 2012 ram 1500 in august 2018, i make payment. this past april vibration and hesitation got worse, i had plugs replaced , didn't help. found out that lifters needed replaced and camshaft. i spent $217 on plug replacement and additional $4500 to replace lifters camshaft. engine light comes on now it's saying vaporation leak. i have read that thousands and thousands of customers have had this problem and no recall from chrysler. this is my first dodge, this will be my last dodge unless i get compensation from chrysler. i know this truck is not under warranty, but chrysler has to know that this is a problem with the hemi , i was told at a dealer this was common in hemi , no one told me that when i brought i still owe on this truck , plus i'm out $4667 that i can't get back if i traded, only had 8 months when this happened. this doesn't include the the vap problem on the cost.
Serious exhaust leak. also, exhaust is leaking into the cabin. my 2012 dodge ram 1500 truck has 77,000 miles. i noticed a ticking noise coming from under the hood and a terrible smell inside the truck. i realized the vehicle has an exhaust leak. the leak is coming from the exhaust manifold on the passenger side. a mechanic friend of mine who works at a shop in gainesville fl told me his shop has repaired 125 of the same trucks in 2.5 yrs who have the same problem. the problem is the manifold bolts are failing/breaking which causes an exhaust leak which in turn causes the manifold to warp. my truck has now had the same failure and is currently at my local dealership. my truck was in motion on a city street. in my opinion this exhaust leak is a serious problem just like ford recently had with their police vehicles.
