Multiple online complaints have dubbed the issue the hemi tick. With so many vehicles exhaust manifolds failing and allowing exhaust fumes into the cabin I’m requesting a recall to have Chrysler repair at no charge to their customers an ongoing issue with their exhaust manifold leaks that could potentially cause harm or death to the occupants in the vehicle. I also have a 2010 Chrysler town and country with the exact same issue as my 2015 ram 1500.

Started have a ticking sound coming from engine compartment that will go away when truck runs & heats up. Now getting exhaust fumes in the passenger compartment that goes away also then the ticking stops. Learned that this is a very frequent issue with the Dodge Ram 1500's Manifold bolts braking and the heat shield vibrating and along with exhaust leak. i can't comprehend why this wouldn't be a recall issue due to the harmful exhaust fumes in the passenger compartment. this issue need to be looked into, and research shows there have been an extensive amount of complaints which have not corrected the issue..looking for next steps to take to get this done

Exhaust fumes fill cabin: 2015 4x4 ecodiesel. When driving in slow traffic speeds of less than 30 MPH or stopped, the cabin becomes filled with exhaust fumes. This appears to be coming in through the ventilation system, as it is quite noticeable when it is blowing directly in your face. It has become progressively worse and stronger over time. While the truck is moving at normal highway speeds it is not noticed, or at least as compared to what is noticed when at lower speeds or when stopped. The fumes continue to increase and become quite heavy while operating at the slower speeds or stopped. This issue has been addressed in a recall (r04) for 2014 and 2015 ram 4x2 ecodiesels but not in ram 4x4 ecodiesels as of 10/5/17.

Similar to the 2012-2013 dodge durangos recal that involved the tipm and fuel pump relay. My 2015 ram 1500 began to not start as if it wasn't getting enough fuel with long crank times that have only gotten worse over the past few weeks. The last week, I noticed a gasoline smell after each occurence. Today (2016-08-08) is has gotten to point that I never know if the truck will start. I have brought into my dealer today and the service tech mention that this sounded like the "durango" recall issue. I am asking that you extend the 2012-2013 jeep/durango to 2015 ram 1500's. I know the petition was denied but I'm asking that you re-evaluate customer complaints. The federal safety agency recall no. : 15v‑115 - doesn't start on first try. Heavy smell of fuel.

Diesel emissions: dozens of times in the 7 months since purchasing the vehicle: when driving at medium to slow traffic speeds or parking lot speeds (5mph - 20mph), or when sitting stopped, if the climate control fan is on - it blows heavy diesel exhaust fumes into the cabin. These fumes are only coming in through the climate control system. When the windows are open we do not get fumes, there are no heavy fumes around the outside of the vehicle. We only get diesel fumes being blown in via climate control. If we turn off climate control, the fumes stop. They are strong enough at times to cause eyes to tear up. They have happened when we were in empty remote parking lots - so no other vehicles around. They have happened with heat / or cool system on. We do not get noticeable fumes in the cabin when traveling at faster/highway speeds. This has happened many times, however this complaint form only allows picking one date.

This truck has an exhaust smell in the cabin that my wife and I have been noticing gets more prevalent as the vehicle gets more miles. I drove the truck about 8 hrs thursday night march 27th and into the morning of friday march 28th . By the time I got to my destination I had an extreme headache, nausea, burning eyes nose and throat. It was 0230 am, I tried to rest and sleep but was too ill. After approximately 9~10 hrs I went to the hospital to get checked, and document what I believe to have been exposure to exhaust fumes. The dr put me on oxygen and gave me anti nausea medicine. They drew a blood gas and told me that I had only slight signs of exposure unfortunately due to the time that I had waited to come in to get checked. I would like to know that this incident is reported as it seems to creep up and could cause an accident !
