2010 Ram 1500 Engine Problems

Was just driving and the engine shut off and a check engine light came on and won’t start again believe timing chain failed

This incident has happened several times while driving on the road. When driving at slow speeds, approaching a red light, or slowing down to make a left or right turn, the vehicle shuts off without warning. The power steering and brakes stop working, making the car hard to handle. I have to put it in neutral, restart the vehicle, and start it back up without any problems. This is a very well-maintained vehicle and a daily driver. The car has 172000 miles on it. I have done internet research on this, and it seems to be a very common thing with Dodge Ram Trucks.

vehicle has 113,000 miles on it now, the engine is knocking so I brought it in to Weber in Detroit Lakes Minnesota they say it needs cams and lifters e c t. Estimate is $5,000 or new engine $9,000 so now I can't get to work! I commute back and forth every day 70 miles each way, this vehicle should not have this problem as of yet in my eyes! Will the factory / dealership warranty this fix for me? I purchased vehicle from Weber in Detroit Lakes almost four years ago with 80,000 miles on it I have only driven at 33,000 miles since then!! I don't have that kind of money for this fix nor can I afford to buy a replacement vehicle but now the knocking you can hear it outside the vehicle but you cannot hear it in the cab of the vehicle so how long has this problem actually been going on before the fact of me noticing it just very recently so then I quit driving it immediately and brought it directly to Weber as per appointment

I WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK FOR 30 MINUTES I PARK THE TRUCK ACROSS FROM DEPARTMENT STORE I COMEBACK TRYING TO START AND DOESN'T MAKE A SOUND LIGHTS AND EVERYTHING WORK JUST FINE I DID TRY A NEW BATTERY AND STILL DON'T MAKE A NOISE. *TR

Failure in cam and lifters, this am I going problem that needs to be addressed. These repairs should be covered 100% by Dodge / Ram.

WHILE TRACING THIS ANNOYING TICKING NOISE DOWN I NOTICED IT COMING FROM THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. I LOOKED AROUND IT AND SAW THAT TWO BOLTS WERE LOOSE AND BROKEN INSIDE THE BLOCK. I SEARCHED THIS UP ONLINE AND SEEN THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. PLEASE HELP *TR

THE LIFTERS AND CAM HAVE FAILED, BASED ON THE INFORMATION YOU CAN GATHER ONLINE THESE DAYS- SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FACTOR AND DOES NOT MATTER HOW WELL YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR ENGINE (MAINTENANCE) THIS WILL EVENTUALLY HAPPEN! THIS WORK/PARTS SHOULD BE REPLACED AT NO COST (RE-CALL) TO THE VEHICLE OWNER. I HAVE NOT MADE THE REPAIRS DUE TO THE LACK OF FUNDS FOR THE REPAIR. *TR

EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS INFERIOR! HEARING A TICKING SOUND, MUCH LIKE A TAPPET, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MORLAN DODGE IN CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO. THEY EXAMINED THE PROBLEM AND SAID IT IS PROBABLY DUE TO THE BOLTS USED, LOOSENING UP OR EVEN BREAKING. FURTHER INSPECTION IS NEEDED. MY TRUCK HAS 54002 MILES ON IT. DEALER IN CAPE GIRARDEAU SAYS IT HAS SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE DUE TO MANIFOLD BOLTS CAUSING LEAKS. 54,000 MILES AND THE BOLTS ARE FAILING?? AND NO RECALLS TO REPLACE THEM??? WHY NOT? THE BOLTS ARE SAID TO BE OF LOW QUALITY ALUMINUM ALLOY. ?? WHY HAVEN'T THE COMPANY ISSUED A RECALL TO REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE BOLTS???

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 RAM 1500. WHILE THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING, AN ABNORMAL TICKING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM BOTH FRONT WHEELS. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE MANIFOLD STUD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE PASSENGER SIDE MANIFOLD WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER (LILLISTON CHRYSLER DODGE, 1501 N SECOND ST, RTE 47, MILLVILLE, NJ 08332, (856) 825-1937) WAS CONTACTED TO SCHEDULE A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT.

TRUCK HAS SHUT OFF AT LOWER SPEEDS WHILE TURNING TWICE IN 30 DAYS. VERY SCARY AND SERIOUS POTENTIAL FOR ACCIDENT. TRUCK HAS 114K MILES

5.7 HEMI ENGINES ARE WEARING CAMS OUT. THE LIFTERS ARE SIEZING UP AND WEARING THE LOBES OFF THE CAM. THE TRUCK LOOSES POWER WHEN DRIVING UNTIL I CAN AFFORD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. THIS HAPPENING WITH ALL 5.7 ENGINES DODGE KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT OFFERS NO HELP. I AM ON FIXED INCOME ALWAYS TAKEN CARE OF MY TRUCK. I FEEL THAT IF DODGE KNOWS THERE'S A PROBLEM THEY SHOULD HELP OUT .

I WAS INFORMED BY THE CHRYSLER DEALER THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT PASS SAFETY INSPECTION. THE REASON FOR THE FAILURE WAS BECAUSE OF EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS THAT HAVE BROKEN, THEREFORE THE SEAL BETWEEN THE MANIFOLD AND THE ENGINE HAD BEEN COMPROMISED. MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 60000 MILES ON IT. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH IT IS EVIDENT THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE AND ENGINE COMBINATION. THERE ARE VAST AMOUNTS OF COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THIS EXACT ISSUE AND HOW TO REMEDY THIS DESIGN FLAW. I ATTEMPTED TO REACH OUT TO CHRYSLER SO THEY COULD PERFORM A GOODWILL GESTURE REPAIR. MY ATTEMPT WAS DENIED, WITH NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY. THE ISSUE WITH THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BREAKING CREATES A SERIOUS SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN, AND CHRYSLER IS AT FAULT AND NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR USING INFERIOR BOLTS OR IMPROPER ENGINEERING TECHNIQUES. THE EVIDENCE IS CLEAR, AND WHILE COSTLY, CHRYSLER SHOULD BARE THE COST TO MAKE THESE VEHICLES SAFE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY.

92,000 MILES AND AM REPLACING THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS FOR THE 4TH TIME. EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS COVERED UP TO NOW, BUT NEXT TIME AND ALL THE TIMES AFTER WILL BE ON ME.
