I was pulling out of a gas station onto the main road and the truck started shaking and died, parking brake came on and the battery right came on-??.1st incident Second incident I was baking out of a parking space and the same thing happened, truck started shaking and died, parking brake came on and the battery light lit up on the dash-??. Dealership told me they couldn-??t do anything about it because it didn-??t do it while they had it-??. Very dangerous issue, I-??ve done a lot of research and all leads back to auto/ stop feature and etorque generator-?? My truck only has 11,000 miles on it-?? Please look into this, I have small kids and don-??t want them harmed because of a malfunction from my truck-?? Thank you..
The contact owns a 2024 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving approximately 5 MPH, the vehicle lost power, the parking brake activated, and the transmission independently shifted into the park. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The instrument panel showed that the battery charge had dropped to 12-Volts. The failure had occurred twice. The tow truck company was contacted and was able to recharge the battery and the contact to drove the vehicle to the residence. The contact stated that approximately 3 weeks later the failure recurred a second time at 1,800 miles. The vehicle was towed to the dealer however, the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 800.
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.
Bought vehicle brand new with roughly 30 miles. Put less than 20 more on it and the service ABS light/service stability control system/4wd system unavailable lights came on the vehicle. Used my scanner, cleared codes and light went off. After about 12 more miles, they all came back on.
I recently purchased my first ram truck on 1/11/24. On the morning of 1/15/24 monday, I was leaving my work and as I tried to turn on my truck, it would not turn due to battery being dead. So, I asked coworker of mine to give me a jump. After 10 minutes or so, trunk was on but it had engine and abs, and trailer brake light on. I only had put on 277 miles at that time. Truck seems to make some random noises when driving. Also, when trying to trying to jump the truck it takes this lound sound in the speaker.
