The reported vehicle has experienced repeated, critical stalling events immediately following the activation of the engine Start/Stop feature. The engine shuts down normally when the vehicle comes to a stop (e.g., at a traffic light or stop sign) but fails to automatically restart when the brake pedal is released or the accelerator is pressed. This leaves the vehicle immobilized in traffic, creating a significant safety hazard. Incident Details The stalling behavior has occurred multiple times under normal operating conditions. The issue is intermittent but frequent enough to cause concern for vehicle safety.

The 2024 Ram 1500 3.6L V6 E-Torque engine stalls at low speeds. Without warning the engine shuts off and the emergency brake automatically engages, when the truck comes to a stop it shifts into park, and I have to restart the truck. Fortunately this has only happened in parking lots at speeds of around 5mph. This has happened twice so far. The battery voltage dropped from 13.8 volts to 12.2 volts during both stall events. The truck is 1 year old with 15,324 miles on it.

the vehicle randomly stalls, causing it to through it in park regardless of speed and puts on the parking brake causing a increased risk of an accident. The battery light then comes on. It has been in the shop 5 times for the same problem. This last time was the worst of them all. After restarting it on the way to the dealer it started shutting down the radio, then the ac, and then in middle of a sharp turn it shut of the power steering. Let's just say that a bad way to find out it has electrical power steering. then next it shut down completely with about every light on the dash on. Had to call a tow truck. None of the dealerships it has been to for these issues have been unable to find the cause. The dealerships have been unable to reproduce the issue. i currently do not have the invoices from the dealership it is at but can get them to you in a few days.

The vehicle at low speeds or when stopped at an intersection UNEXPECTEDLY stalls, sometimes when rolling. This disables the vehicle and to restart you must turn the gearselecter knob to Park, put your foot on the brake and push the start button. Sometimes the engine requires multiple attempts to restart. The instrument display after the stall shows the check engine light illuminated along with the warning lights for the front and rear parking sensors , the stability control, and automatic emergency braking. These warning lights remain illuminated at least until you turn the truck off. The check engine light remains on usually until the next day. It has now stalled over 10 times.This problem has not been diagnosed by the dealer.

For reference, there are only 4,780 miles on my vehicle. I was driving 20mph when my 2024 Ram Tradesman dash lit up "Shift to P to Start". Checked my gear and it said I was still in drive? I slowed down to park, and then it said "Press Break and Push Button to Start". Again, still driving (slowly luckily). I began to slow the vehicle to 8mph and the whole vehicle stalled and the dash read "Shifter Autocorrect Engaged" and it literally THREW my vehicle into park and engaged the E-Break. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle any longer. There are MULTIPLE instances with models as old as 2018 and as new as 2024 that this is happening. And not just at slow speeds. I have read multiple instances in people traveling on the interstate at 70+mph and they are crashing. My vehicle may be under warranty still, but my life is not, neither is my husband and children's lives. This vehicle is how we get places as a family and it puts all four of us at risk of injury or death. This is a HIGH risk glitch. I contacted the Dan Cummins dealership in Paris KY and they said they had NEVER heard of this problem? But it's ALL OVER the internet? And it hasn't been recalled? They said it would be 2 weeks before they could look at it and acted like it wasn't a major issue. I am furious. This is people's LIVES at risk. This isn't a camera malfunction, or a tailgate that doesnt lock. This is the engine shutting down then the E-Break engaging when driving and potentially flipping and spinning my vehicle out of control. Not to mention other problems like my driver side window glitching and not rolling up until I hit it two and three times, or the AC shutting down and blowing out hot air when the automatic hybrid kicks in/or the truck is half shut down at lights. But this? This is it. I will not drive a vehicle made by a company who KNOWS they have RECURRING problems and refuses to recall the vehicle for YEARS. It is hazardous to LIFE.
