Was told the exhaust manifold bolt/studs warped and snapped and the exhaust manifold is warped, this happened on the driver side first but was covered under warranty but now happening on driver side out of warranty. was told my dealership they see this often and was told fca has fixed the problem in newer years by using stronger material in the bolts. this informs me that fca knows of the problem but the dealers won't cover it as a design defect. clearly there is a design defect with the exhaust manifold bolts as they should not be doing this and manufactures are suppose to account for these parts to see extreme temp changes. this has happened now twice to me but because i am no longer under warranty they won't fix the problem. the fist time was before 60,000 miles and now the other side is happening at 76,000 miles. to summarize the problem is warped exhaust manifold bolts and the manifold itself.
My 2014 dodge ram blows a powder out of the vents. i was driving down i5 doing about 60 mph and my heater kicked on blowing a white powder from the vents into my eyes. i was temporarily blinded and almost lost control of my truck. i was able to squint out of 1 eye and get pulled over safely to the side of the road. i believe my contacts saved my eyes. as the evaporator starts breaking down it allows a powder to form that can blow in your face. dodge should have something installed in front of the evaporator that would prevent this from happening.
While driving at interstate speeds for approximately 130 miles (2.5 hours), vehicle sputtered and lost power, it stabilized at~40 mph. a check engine light and red lighting bolt displayed. we exited the interstate and made course to a dealership utilizing smaller hwys. en-route to the repair shop, at about 40 mph, vehicle started emitting smoke to include inside the cabin. stopped the vehicle and evacuated all 4 people inside. flames and heavy smoke soon became visible as we watched from afar. large flames grew and quickly engulfed the whole vehicle. fire department arrived and put out the fire.
Noticed a small loss of radiator fluid, no visible leak, but did receive letter relating to a diesel egr cooler defect. now am concerned about steam leaking into my engine oil and thus contaminating the engine oil with damaging effects on the engine internal parts. egr valve should also be evaluated as it directly effects egr cooler.
Horn no longer works, by pushing it or with key fob locking when locking my truck. i've read that this has happen on multiple ram 1500s. my just stop when exiting my truck and i notice i didnt get any beep when trying to secure my truck. checked every fuse, relay, even took it to the dealership i purchased it from. only had the truck for 4 weeks and they told me i would have to pay $600. this is a safety issue and i shouldn't be responsible for a horn not beeping..
Bought truck 4 months ago, has been broke down now as of today 5 times. this truck has lost fuel mileage, power, and has almost cost lives, when you push on the gas, nothing, after a few seconds it will go, this is extremely dangerous, i have been in front of a semi moving wind turbines and almost killed, this truck has been towed several times, in the shop broke down all after recall, this truck will cost lives, i have tried contacting several people, i get nothing, my next move is going to show videos and updated incidents, and information on all steps, last response was my case has been closed, people need to know the action taken on this and the lives affected. the most recent action was a couple weeks ago, i am a pilot escort for ge wind industry, i was needed to stop traffic to keep public safe, when i'm needed to jump into action this truck fails, i need a replacement immediately, i was almost driven right into my driver side door by a 138 thousand pond tower section due to lag time, this truck is powerless, after recall ...
Vehicle stalls randomly vehicle stalls randomly while driving. dealer can't find issue. vehicle just shuts off which in my opinion makes it unsafe. dealer had a 'oh well good luck, trade it in and hope it doesn't stall' attitude.
The dail shifter on our truck both directions reverse and forward will not go. we have to shut the truck off and do this a few time to reset the computer to be able to move the truck. took this in to get fixed and they said they can't find the problem on a meter and we took extra insurance for this kind of problem. i would like some answers before we are stuck in 114-degree weather. at all different time when you try to drive night, day, stop sign, stoplight. it's happening often can't add that on when did this happen? aug 30th was the last time!
Accelerator when pushed down to to pass another car will stick to full throttle and not release. this is a very dangerous situation, could cause lost of life, due to the truck would reach top speed and not be able to stop it. my son reach over and put truck in neutral and l rolled to a stop. i was driving on a six lane road in town where speed limit is 45 mph. i feel there should be a recall on this problem or research done on it. not sure what speed my truck went to, i was trying not to hit another car.
I had the emissions recall/repair for the ecodiesel engines per the class action lawsuit between the epa and fca. fca claims that it would not effect power or gas mileage. my truck now has a significant lag from a stop as well as from 10 mph to about 20mph when one hits the gas and tries to accelerate. this decrease in power makes this vehicle dangerous especially when trying to pull on to a street that has oncoming traffic.
Was advised to take truck in for recall reflash due to eco diesel settlement package. after recall fix was conducted, engine sluggish, shifting not smooth and miles per gallon dropped significantly. all this after a trip of 8 hours at legal speed limits.

My vehicle has tremendous lag when trying to accelerate, but it is not all the time. i never know when pulling out into a road at a left hand turn if i am going to get throttle response or a dead petal. too many times not i have been stuck with tremendous lag and almost rear ended by vehicles while turning onto a road. this was never an issue until a forced "fix" for a recall on the ecodiesel engine. upon initial acceleration sometimes there is a 1-2 second lag before the vehicle even seems to accelerate at all. my mile per gallon has dropped several points and def is being over consumed. i do not know when the truck will accelerate or just lag out on me. i do not know if this is a motor or transmission or none of the above issue. i do know that many people with the "aem fix" for the recalled rams is having the same issues. this vehicle does not seem safe to drive to to its unpredictability with acceleration. from a cold start, the vehicle is extremely sluggish for several minutes or miles, and that is in the warm ca sun.... ...
I had 2 more recall notices sent to our house in regards to this vehicle. i was unable to get the recalls done between the date they arrived here and the first of this year due to some health issues. since recovering from the issues i got on this site to see what exactly the recalls were and now nothing pops up when i enter the vin #. i called the dealer as well and asked and was told there is no recall at this time. i find this funny since ive gone to oither sites and looked up recalls and this vehicle has a history of 12 recalls. i as well know that not all of the recalls have been addressed.
