ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE TRUCK STALLS AFTER FILLING WITH FUEL. IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME; STALLED IN A TURN CAUSING THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING; STALLED AT STOPS; CAUSES BUCKING. AT NO OTHER TIME DOES THE TRUCK HAVE THESE ISSUES. I HAVE HEARD OF OTHER HAVING THIS ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AND OTHERS SUCH AS JEEP, ETC. REGARDING THE "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?" QUESTION BELOW, IT HAPPENS AT 95+% OF FILL-UPS. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS 6/1/19.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ENGINE SHUTS OFF AFTER EVERY FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION IF VEHICLE IS PLACED IN A MODERATELY HARD STOP OR MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN ON A FREEWAY ON RAMP OR CITY STREET CAUSING THE ENGINE TO SHUT OFF COMPLETELY AND LEAVING VEHICLE IN MOTION WITHOUT POWER TO STEERING AND BRAKES. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE TIME THAN I CAN REMEMBER.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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.

ENGINE
WITHOUT ANY WARNING, NO GAUGE SIGNS OR ANYTHING, THE TRUCK JUST SHUT DOWN. IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN AND THE ENGINE SEEMS TO BE LOCKED UP IT WILL NOT CRANK OVER. I WAS SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, OIL GAUGE DROPPED, AND THE TRUCK SHUT OFF ALL WITHIN SECONDS. NOT A GOOD SITUATION I WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS NOT ON AN INTERSTATE GOING 60 OR 70 MILES AN HOUR.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
DRIVING IN RAIN AND WIPERS WENT SLOW LIKE LOSING VOLTAGE OR POWER THEN JUST STOPPED. I HAD THIS HAPPEN ONCE BEFORE BUT WHEN THEY SEEMED SLUGGISH I JUST HAD MECHANIC REPLACE THE MOTOR. THE MOTOR IS LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD. I READ ABOUT WIPER MOTOR ISSUES BUT MY VIN DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ON THERE. NOT SURE BUT HOPING IT CAN BE ADDED. WILL TAKE BACK TO MECHANIC AND SEE ABOUT TRANSVERSER WHICH ARE THE ARMS UNDER THE COWL THAT MOVE THE WIPERS PER THE MOTOR. IF STILL HAVING ISSUE HAS TO BE WIPER RECALL DUE TO MOISTURE RIGHT? HAVE REPLACED ALTERNATOR ALREADY DUE TO LOW VOLTAGE SO IT CAN'T BE THAT. REPLACED BATTERIES WHEN I REPLACE ALTERNATOR. EVERYTHING ELSE ELECTRICAL WORKING JUST FINE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN WE GOT HOME LAST NITE I SAW SMOKE COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND I COULD SMELL SOMETHING BURNING LIKE ELECTRICAL. I OPENED THE HOOD AND THE ALTERNATOR WAS POURING OUT SMOKE. I GRABBED MY HOSE AND POURED WATER ON IT UNTIL I COULD DISCONNECT THE BATTERIES. UPON RESEARCH I FOUND THE SAME PROBLEM ON 2013 MODEL YEARS. I FEEL THE 2013 RECALL MAY NEED TO BE EXTENDED TO EARLIER MODEL YEARS. I AM FORTUNATE THE TRUCK DID NOT CATCH FIRE.
