MY 2014 DODGE RAM HEMI TRUCK IS LIKE THE MOTOR IS JUST STALLING OUT IT LOOSES ALL POWER AND SLOWS DOWN. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO RESTART THE MOTOR IT WILL JUST AUTOMATICALLY START RUNNING. THE TRUCK HAS DONE THIS ON ME SEVERAL TIMES AT LOW SPEED BUT FRI I WAS GETTING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND WAS MOVING PRETTY FAST WHEN IT WAS JUST LIKE THE TRUCK HAD STALLED OUT IT WAS A GOOD THING THAT I STILL HAD THE ENTRANCE LANE TO SWING BACK IN AS A BIG TRUCK WENT BY. WHEN I LET OFF THE GAS PEDDLE IT WAS JUST LIKE IT HAD STARTED BACK. IT DID THIS ON ME 4 MORE TIMES WHILE ON MY WAY TO AND FROM WHERE I WAS GOING. I CALLED THE PLACE WHERE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK AND TRIED TO GET THEM TO LET ME STOP BY AND CHECK THE TRUCK BECAUSE I WAS ONLY ABOUT 5 MILES AWAY AND THE SERVICE MAN TOLD ME THEY WERE TO BUSY THAT HE HAD NO ONE TO CHECK IT OUT THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO SET ME UP AN APPOINTMENT WHICH HE DID FOR THIS COMING FRIDAY A WEEK FROM THE DAY THIS HAPPENED. WHEN IT STALLED WHEN I WAS GETTING ON THE EXPRESSWAY THIS REALLY SCARED ME WHEN I HAD TO SWING BACK INTO THE ENTRANCE LANE AS THE TRACTOR TRAILER WENT BY. TO ME THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CHECKED IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE A RECALL NOTIFICATION ON THE RADIO FREQUENCY WHICH I TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT([XXX]) AN HE SAID HE DIDN'T THINK THIS WOULD CAUSE MY PROBLEM.

HORRIBLE ODOR IN THE CAB, WHICH CAUSED MY WIFE, MY TWO TEENAGE DAUGHTERS, AND MYSELF TO ALL HAVE AT LEAST ONE FORM OF THE FOLLOWING, VOMITING, NAUSEA, HEADACHE, BURNING EYES AND THROAT. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO THE MANUFACTURER, AS THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED A STAR CASE.

I THEN NOTICED THAT MY OIL LEVEL WAS LOW, AND THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR WENT OUT. I HAD THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND ADDED OIL. BASED ON THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, SMOKE, AND OIL PRESSURE SENSOR GOING BAD, I THINK THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ENGINE. ALL MY PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN OIL RELATED! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE TAILGATE DOOR WOULD ERRONEOUSLY OPEN. THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR AFTER THE DOORS HAD BEEN UNLOCKED USING THE KEY FOB.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2014 DODGE RAM 1500 4X4 TRUCK THAT CAME EQUIPPED FROM THE FACTORY WITH 20 INCH WHEELS. I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THE SPARE IS A FACTORY 17 INCH FULL SIZED WHEEL. I WAS ADVISED BY MY LOCAL TIRE DEALER THAT IT WOULD BE HIGHLY DANGEROUS TO TRAVEL ANY DISTANCE WITH THE A SPARE THAT DIFFERENTIATED THAT MUCH IN DIAMETER AND COULD INFACT CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE WHICH PROBABLY WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY THE FACTORY WARRANTY. WHEN I INQUIRED AT THE RAM NATIONAL CUSTOMER CENTER I BASICALLY GOT THE RUN AROUND. THEY DID HOWEVER GIVE ME A CASE NUMBER [XXX] THEIR PHONE NUMBER IS 866-726-4636. I BELIEVE THIS COULD CAUSE A SITUATION THAT COULD RESULT IN INJURY TO AN UNSUSPECTING PURCHASER THAT WAS NOT AWARE OF THE WHEEL SIZE DIFFERENCE AND DROVE UNKOWININGLY A GREAT DISTANCE WITH THE SPARE PROVIDED BY THE FACTORY.

VEHICLE IS A 4X4 RAM 1500 EXPRESS WITH 5.7 HEMI AND 8-SPEED TRANSMISSION. I PURCHASED IT NEW. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED AT AROUND 200 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, ON THE THIRD DAY AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. IT STALLED WHEN APPROACHING A STOP SIGN NEAR MY HOME. IT DID NOT RESTART AND RUN WELL IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER, BUT AFTER 3 TRIES I WAS ABLE TO KEEP IT RUNNING AND AFTER THAT IT BEGAN TO RUN SMOOTHLY FOR THE REMAINING SHORT DISTANCE TO MY HOME. I WAS WORRIED THAT IT MAY BE A LOOSE GAS CAP, SO I REMOVED THE CAP AND RE-INSTALLED IT. THEN LESS THAN A WEEK LATER, THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS DURING THE SAME OUTING. FIRST TIME WAS IN A PARKING LOT, AND THE SECOND TIME WAS IN A BUSY INTERSECTION. IN EACH CASE, I WAS ABLE TO RE-FIRE AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE DID THE SAME THING AGAIN TWICE YESTERDAY. TODAY THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN NEAR MY HOME. EVERY STALL HAS BEEN WHEN SLOWING TO STOP OR TO MAKE A TURN. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH MY FAMILY RIDING IN A VEHICLE THAT STALLS UNEXPECTEDLY. IT IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON THIS FRIDAY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ILLUMINATED, AND THE DEALER HAS ALREADY INDICATED DURING A PHONE CONVERSATION THAT IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO DO MUCH IF THERE ARE NO OBD CODES TO READ. I HAVE CONTACTED OTHER DEALERS TO INQUIRE IF OTHER CUSTOMERS MAY BE HAVING A SIMILAR SITUATION. NONE HAVE HEARD OF THIS ISSUE IN THIS MODEL YEAR. *TR

WHILE COMING TO A STOP; TRAFFIC LIGHT, STOP SIGN, ETC. I CAN FEEL A HARD JERK. I BELIEVE IT'S THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING TO A LOWER GEAR BUT I'M NOT FOR CERTAIN. THE HARD JERK DOESN'T HAPPEN TOO OFTEN MAYBE ONCE A DAY, BUT WHEN IT DOES IT'S VERY NOTICEABLE. I'M CONCERNED THIS IS CAUSING ADDITIONAL STRESS AND FATIGUE TO MY TRANSMISSION AND SOMETHING WILL EITHER SNAP OR BREAK.

SINCE THIS TRUCK WAS NEW THERE HAS BEEN AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE WITH THE CONTROL PANEL GOING DEAD, OR LOSING POWER. THIS PANEL INCLUDES THE ABILITY TO CHANGE THE TRUCK INTO VARIOUS 4X4 SETTINGS AS WELL AS THE PANEL THAT CONTROLS MANY OTHER FUNCTIONS SUCH AS THE HEATED/COOLED SEATS, AIR RIDE SUSPENSION ETC. SOMETIMES THE TURNING OFF THE TRUCK AND THEN RESTARTING IT CLEARS THE ISSUE, OTHER TIMES IT DOES NOTHING. THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. HTTP://WWW.RAMFORUMZ.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=179332&HIGHLIGHT=CONTROL+PANEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO ENGAGE OR DISENGAGE 4X4 WHEN NEEDED AS WELL AS BEING VERY DISTRACTING TO THE DRIVER.

ON OR ABOUT MARCH 6 2014 WHEN THE TRUCK SITS OVER NIGHT OR AFTER ABOUT 5 HOURS WHEN THE MOTOR AND TRANS ARE COLD , I NOTICE A HESITATION GOING FROM REVERSE TO FORWARD, THIS IS A HESITATION THAT IS ABOUT 2-5 SECONDS, IT SEEMS THAT THE MOTOR IS NOT GETTING ENOUGH AIR IT SEEMS LIKE IT WANTS TO IDLE DOWN. WHEN THIS IDLE DOWN IT GOES FROM THE HESITATION THEN LIKE A IDLE AIR ISSUE. WITH THE HESITATION FROM A LOW IDLE TO IDLE THAT MAKES IT GO THEN I HAVE TO GIVE THIS GAS OR TRY TO SINCE ITS A LOT OF ELECTRICAL KNOW. I AM NOT SURE. I LIVE ON A BUSY ROAD AND THIS IS A ISSUE THAT CAN AFFECT MY SAFETY. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY IF IT WILL GO INTO DRIVE. AT THIS TIME THIS IS A ISSUE, I WANT TO KNOW WHEN I PUT THIS INTO DRIVE, IT GOES LIKE IT SHOULD THIS IS A BRAND NEW TRUCK. *TR

THE LIGHTING SYSTEM (HEADLIGHTS) ON MY 2014 RAM TRUCK ARE DANGEROUS TO USE AT NIGHT. THEY ARE VERY DIM AND PRODUCE SUB-STANDARD LIGHTING FOR SAFE DRIVING. I AM FORCED TO USE HIGH BEAMS DURING NIGHT DRIVING. THIS IS NOTABLY NOT SAFE FOR ONCOMING DRIVERS, BUT IT IS THE ONLY OPTION I HAVE. AFTER A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH, THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH MANY CHRYSLER, RAM AND JEEP PRODUCTS. *TR
