This involves a 2017 Ram ecodiesel with 15,500 miles. The eco diesel started to make a rattling sound as I was driving straight at interstate speed and then a loud bang. I lost all power to the truck as the engine cut off while I was on the highway. It was a very dangerous situation as I was in the middle lane and had to get over to the side with out power and brakes. The dealership has stated it was a cam issue and that they would need to take the cab off the truck to diagnose the engine. All I can say is the truck only has 15,500 miles on it and this was a serious safety issue for myself and my family that was on board. I did some research on line and there seems to be numerous examples of early engine failure in both Grand Cherokee and Ram trucks. Ram is still at the dealership being evaluated. Consumer stated he replaced the entire engine and was without the vehicle for 34 days, updated 10/11/18

Truck with 3.0L diesel engine. Vehicle has twice (during first 6,000 miles) shown error message "service electronic throttle control" and truck has been disabled. First time was driving on mountain highway with heavy commute traffic when truck could not maintain any speed and struggled get truck safely off road. With multiple occurences with brand new vehicle it is a safety issue.

In motion, the engine seams to loose power when the transmission kicks down to passing gear for a short time then it picks up power. Feels almost like it takes time for the timing to catch up...... can you help? it also does it on take off as well

Had been experiencing transmission warning lights but engine didn't produce any codes.I took to 2 different dealers and they said nothing we could do about sensor problems until code appears. While driving at night about a half mile from home my truck shut down. My engine turned off and lost my steering, lights, and dash lights. The only thing that remained on was the fully illuminated 8' radio command center and gear select knob.the satellite radio remained playing but couldn't adjust volume. I luckily pulled to side of road. I couldn't restart vehicle to move it. I then took my key fob and locked and opened the truck.the lights flashed and was able to restart vehicle to move. I immediately called roadside assistance to have it towed to dealer. During the time of turning vehicle back on the dash displayed a check engine light. I then received a vehicle identification report emailed to me that engine/transmission service needed. This incident with a new truck with 23,000 miles is very concerning in losing power, lights and steering. The problems stated were over a month ago as noted with pictures

Took delivery of new 2017 Dodge Ram 1500 and two days later towed my boat (18') to launch to go fishing. Stopped on ramp leading to water with engine running and put in park to unhook boat from trailer. When I let me foot off brake, the vehicle started slowly creeping backwards to the water. I was stunned and hit brake again and then applied emergency brake. I have done this at least a hundred times with other vehicles and never has one not held in place on the ramp and I have never used my emergency brake. Upon completion of unhooking boat, I then could not figure out how to release emergency brake as it is not marked well. Got out of vehicle and noticed a symbol on the plastic above the foot pedal. Lifted up and it released the emergency brake and again vehicle started backing up into the water. I had to immediately jump in the truck and hit the brakes just in time as it hit the water. I have reviewed this issue and it appears to be focused on 2013 - 2016 model years. However, this is a brand new 2017. I can attest that the knob was 100% in the park position when this happened and my father and son witnessed this event. I have an appointment tomorrow at dealership but service manager was not aware of any issues or potential fix. I am guessing we could duplicate the problem on the boat ramp in the future. This is incredibly dangerous and I cannot have a vehicle that cannot stay in place while parked!

Dissapointed with the purchase of 17 Ram 1500, truck looks good and has great looks. It has a tapping/ticking noise when its at idle at a standstill, its called the dreaded hemi tick, I have a 5.7 motor with mds, there is many threads and complaints about this on the internet. My truck only has 500 miles and should not have any kind of tapping/ticking noises coming from the engine, mostly noticed from drivers side from the wheel well. The dealer says its normal and that they cant hear it when I bring it in, I should drive and wait for first service to have checked out.second issue is that the pressure flaps in the rear of the cab are always making noise when driving, you can hear them flapping when you brake or when you take off. I want my money back.
