Truck will stall out pulling out in traffic with no signs of a problem. It happened to me today with my kid in the truck. This is unacceptable. This trucks are to expensive to have this. It also will surge and try to go without foot on gas. This is totally unsafe. Dodge needs to fix this.

The wiring harness for the driver's side headlight is faulty. It has been repaired and reconnected several times and the headlight continue to turn off while driving. If it's unplugged and reconnected it will work for a while. This is a known issue amongst ram owners based on my internet research. I can't believe ram has not already issued a recall for this as they should know, based on their repairs, that this wiring harness is faulty.

My entire dash, radio and all electronics in truck shut down while driving. I can still drive the truck as the engine, steering and braking still works. The dash cycles like I have just turned the turn on. I haven't been able to catch this on video as it happens and scares me so I keep watching the road. I have taken it to the dealer and they can't replicated it. I haven't been able to pin down why it happens yet it seems to be happening more oftent. Now my dash lights are starting to flicker and flash. This is very very distracting especially at night. I have video of this happening.

Engine check, traction control, anti-skid lights comes on with a message throttle control requires service. The engine losses all power or stalls making vehicle difficult to control, stop and get out of traffic. I have replaced the throttle control while the check engine light was on , it did not correct the problem. After the truck sits for a day or two all problems clear. 4-23-2019 is my third incident in 4 months.

While driving the vehicle there was intermittent non response when the accelerator pedal was depressed resulting in the opposite effect on a busy road. Once while entering a highway on ramp the vehicle stalled completely, after restarting there was intermittent non response when the accelerator was depressed on a busy highway. The problem is related to a corroded fuel pump relay located in the tipm unit under the hood of many model year dodge rams. This same issue has been the subject of recalls issued for other dodge products. This is a serious safety issue that dodge refuses to acknowledge leaving the burden of repair to the consumer.

July 14, 2018 my check engine light came on. I was getting hesitation going uphill. I first took it to a local shop who replaced o2 sensor and all spark plugs at the cost of 800.00, 5 miles down the road check engine light back on same code p219a. Took it back said everything tested fine. Second shop replaced upward and downward sensors 1100.00. 5 miles later same check engine code. Third shop said the couldnt find anything to pick it up 200.00. I took it to dealer. At this point bad gas mileage and hesitaion...they kept it two months and stated they had chrysler engineers in the field helping them. Finally 8 weeks later, I was told the only thin they think it could be was wiring harness. 1400.00 but cant promise that will fix it. Ive replaced throttle body and numerous parts totaling approx. 3500.00. Light still on. Driving back it died! Dead! Throttle body control module sensor error was showing on dash. Died while driving. Towed it to the dealer I got it from. Now they are saying 3700.00 to fix it. Camshaft and lifters not only that ..so many have this problem parts are on backorder for 3-6 months! That will be a year without being able to drive my truck. Its been in the shop 3 weeks now waiting on parts! Why has this not been recalled by chrysler? That many vehicles waiting is a problem! I had the truck a year and 4 months when this happned. Mileage 130,000
