I started hearing a knocking sound from the engine. I took it in to the shop and found that there were several other recall issues with the vehicle. Considering I used my vehicle for typical driving, and keep it maintained with regularly scheduled synthetic oil changes, tires rotations and fluid refills that it shouldn't have had any of the current issues wrong with it. The rep tried to proclaim that the knocking sound came from normal wear and tear on the engine. I strongly disagreed with him, the $5500 estimated repair cost and decided to voice my concerns with coming on here to report it. The most alarming thing is that they tried to pressure me into starting the repair of the vehicle while stating that they needed to get into the engine first before they could determine if that was all wrong with the vehicle. I'll never buy a Dodge again after this experience.
I was driving my Ram 1500 ecodiesel to and from work and noticed a knocking sound. Scheduled a service appointment and the dealership diagnosed my truck with catastrophic engine failure. A new engine is required with a repair bill of $12,370. There are many people with the same issue, a law suit has been filed due to Chrysler refusing to cover repair cost. I feel Chrysler sold me a lemon, please conduct an investigation.

While waiting at a stop light and then stepping on the accelerator the Ram went into limp mode and did not go past 15 mph. The Ram did not turn on any light to notify me of an issue. I had to forcefully take it out of limp mode therefore risking the transmission to get damaged. There was a big truck behind me making a left who thankfully noticed the Ram stopped working and patiently waited for me to move out of the way. I turned it off and turned it back on and it started working again. Seems like a recall issue on Ram as I have been reading this has happened to hundreds of people.
Received a letter from fca, titled, approved emissions modification disclosure 3.0L diesel. Took letter and visited Dodge dealer, they did not know anything about the letter and stated that they could not do anything without a recall number. I have since monitored motor for any signs of overheating or loss of cooling fluid. The truck continues to have low gas mileage, shifts hard and at high RPM. When first started is sluggish and I have to drive cautiously as it hesitated on take off.

The lifters on the 2 cyl. That shut off to save fuel failed and ruined the cam shaft. This happened on my 2010 and now on my 2014. It started by skipping an lower rpms as you speed up or on an incline and then one day it set a check engine lite and skipped all the time.

The truck has an exaust leak. It's on the passenger side manifold. The bolt broke for some reason and is a big common issue in these trucks. There needs to be a recall because the bolts used wasnt strong enough to with stand pressure and corrosion. My cruise control also no longer works like it should. It will go into cruise control very rarely and when it does it's hard to get it out. I have to shut the truck off most of the time to get it out of cruise control mode. The lights that luminate the press buttons in the steering wheel flicker randomly. So it tells me it must be a wiring issue of some sort. I've contacted a Dodge dealer ship and they are aware of the problem but they refuse to fix it as they say it's normal wear and tear. I'm afraid with the exaust leak the extra heat in the engine bay may result in melted wires or even worse a fire. Thank you for reviewing this problem.
2014 ecodiesel received an update / reprogramming of engine control unit (ECU) and now has serious drivability issues, especially when cold. Throttle response is delayed and, if trying to pull into traffic, is dangerous due to the delay in throttle response. In addition to drivability issues, the fuel mileage has decreased significantly, probably 20%.
