2010 RAM 1500 Engine Problems

Was just driving and the engine shut off and a check engine light came on and won’t start again believe timing chain failed

My husband was driving about 20mls per hrs when our truck cought fire the whole front of our truct cought fire. The front mirror and everything if distroit due to the fire .

This incident has happened several times while driving on the road. When driving at slow speeds, approaching a red light, or slowing down to make a left or right turn, the vehicle shuts off without warning. The power steering and brakes stop working, making the car hard to handle. I have to put it in neutral, restart the vehicle, and start it back up without any problems. This is a very well-maintained vehicle and a daily driver. The car has 172000 miles on it. I have done internet research on this, and it seems to be a very common thing with Dodge Ram Trucks.

My 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 shuts off without warning. The incident frequently happens when I am driving at city speeds. If I am turning, the vehicle shuts off, and the power steering also cuts off, causing problems turning the steering wheel. When I am driving straight, there are no warning lights on the dashboard, and the vehicle shuts down. This is very dangerous while going.

The contact owns a 2010 Dodge Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle was jerking as the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where the contact was informed that the oxygen sensors and transmission fluid needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired, however, the contact attempted to replace the oxygen sensors himself. The failure reoccurred and the vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired and the proper oxygen sensors were replaced; however, the contact stated that when he drove over 45 MPH, all warning lights would illuminate on the instrument panel and that an abnormal noise was heard coming from the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle was then taken back to the independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. Additionally, during the repair the contact was informed that the rear differential had loose bolts and would also need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure however the VIN was not available at the time of the call therefore a case could not be opened. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 240,000.

Charging system failure at pcm causing low voltage and battery will not charge causing the vehicle to become disabled. I was on the interstate battery light came Om with system Low voltage code for engine light. The truck shut off and I was left without power steering or brakes. doing 75mph. Voltage regulator is in pcm and pcm needs replaced. Vehicle is still out of commission

Failure in cam and lifters, this am I going problem that needs to be addressed. These repairs should be covered 100% by Dodge / Ram.

Vehicle driving speed limit of 65 when all of a sudden check engine light came on and off a few times. Driver pulled over to side of road and raised hood. Waiting on tow truck and vehicle caught fire in engine compartment.

vehicle has 113,000 miles on it now, the engine is knocking so I brought it in to Weber in Detroit Lakes Minnesota they say it needs cams and lifters e c t. Estimate is $5,000 or new engine $9,000 so now I can't get to work! I commute back and forth every day 70 miles each way, this vehicle should not have this problem as of yet in my eyes! Will the factory / dealership warranty this fix for me? I purchased vehicle from Weber in Detroit Lakes almost four years ago with 80,000 miles on it I have only driven at 33,000 miles since then!! I don't have that kind of money for this fix nor can I afford to buy a replacement vehicle but now the knocking you can hear it outside the vehicle but you cannot hear it in the cab of the vehicle so how long has this problem actually been going on before the fact of me noticing it just very recently so then I quit driving it immediately and brought it directly to Weber as per appointment

HEAD BOLTS THAT BREAK AND TRANSMISSION STUCK IN FOURTH GEAR AND NOW CAM SHAFT SENSORS HAD REPAIRS DONE BUT IT KEEPS HAPPENING BOUGHT TRUCK NEW IN MOTION EVERY TIME THIS TIME IT WAS ON 1/22/21 OTHERS IN 17-18-19-21

EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS INFERIOR! HEARING A TICKING SOUND, MUCH LIKE A TAPPET, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MORLAN DODGE IN CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO. THEY EXAMINED THE PROBLEM AND SAID IT IS PROBABLY DUE TO THE BOLTS USED, LOOSENING UP OR EVEN BREAKING. FURTHER INSPECTION IS NEEDED. MY TRUCK HAS 54002 MILES ON IT. DEALER IN CAPE GIRARDEAU SAYS IT HAS SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE DUE TO MANIFOLD BOLTS CAUSING LEAKS. 54,000 MILES AND THE BOLTS ARE FAILING?? AND NO RECALLS TO REPLACE THEM??? WHY NOT? THE BOLTS ARE SAID TO BE OF LOW QUALITY ALUMINUM ALLOY. ?? WHY HAVEN'T THE COMPANY ISSUED A RECALL TO REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE BOLTS???

5.7 HEMI ENGINES ARE WEARING CAMS OUT. THE LIFTERS ARE SIEZING UP AND WEARING THE LOBES OFF THE CAM. THE TRUCK LOOSES POWER WHEN DRIVING UNTIL I CAN AFFORD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE.

I WAS INFORMED BY THE CHRYSLER DEALER THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT PASS SAFETY INSPECTION. THE REASON FOR THE FAILURE WAS BECAUSE OF EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS THAT HAVE BROKEN, THEREFORE THE SEAL BETWEEN THE MANIFOLD AND THE ENGINE HAD BEEN COMPROMISED. MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 60000 MILES ON IT. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH IT IS EVIDENT THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE AND ENGINE COMBINATION. THERE ARE VAST AMOUNTS OF COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THIS EXACT ISSUE AND HOW TO REMEDY THIS DESIGN FLAW. I ATTEMPTED TO REACH OUT TO CHRYSLER SO THEY COULD PERFORM A GOODWILL GESTURE REPAIR. MY ATTEMPT WAS DENIED, WITH NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY. THE ISSUE WITH THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BREAKING CREATES A SERIOUS SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN, AND CHRYSLER IS AT FAULT AND NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR USING INFERIOR BOLTS OR IMPROPER ENGINEERING TECHNIQUES. THE EVIDENCE IS CLEAR, AND WHILE COSTLY, CHRYSLER SHOULD BARE THE COST TO MAKE THESE VEHICLES SAFE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A 50 MPH FRONTAGE ROAD AND DECELERATING TO TURN ON A SIDE STREET, THE TRUCK STALLED SUDDENLY AT THE APEX OF THE TURN, GAVE A WARNING SOUND AND A MESSAGE FLASHED ON THE DASHBOARD SCREEN STATING "LOW OIL PRESSURE". NO OTHER LIGHTS CAME ON AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR CODE WAS STORED IN THE COMPUTER. WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED I LOST POWER BRAKES, POWER STEERING AND (OBVIOUSLY) ENGINE POWER. THE ENGINE RESTARTED EASILY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN NEUTRAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, SOME AT THE SAME LOCATION OR LOCATIONS WITH SIMILAR SPEED/DECELERATION/TURNING CONDITIONS. THE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO RECREATE THE STALL AND THUS UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM 2 TIMES AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THEM ONCE. THEY ONLY OFFERED A SERIES OF PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCES LIKE CLEANING THE INTAKE MANIFOLD.

TRUCK WILL START, RUN, AND DRIVE. BUT WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING IT WILL DIE, LEAVING YOU WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. PUT IN NEUTRAL AND IT WILL START BACK UP.

THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS HAVE SHEERED OFF JUST LIKE THEY DO ON MOST 5.7 HEMI RAMS. ALSO, THE BLEND DOOR ACTUATORS/BLEND DOOR ARE BROKEN JUST LIKE IN LOTS OF OTHER RAMS/CHRYSLER VEHICLES.

AS I'M DRIVING,THE TRUCK JUST SHUTS OFF WHEN COMING TO A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT FOR A FEW WEEKS NOW. TODAY I CAME WITH IN INCHES OF MY LIFE WHEN AS I WAS TURNING INTO A DRIVEWAY IT JUST SHUT OFF. ON SOCIAL MEDIA I HAVE SEEN QUITE A FEW COMPLAINTS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. BUT YET THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM.

Mileage: 86,000

THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTED TO THE ENGINE BLOCK IS LEAKING AT 75000 MILES, UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION THIS IS DUE TO BOLTS BREAKING OFF AT THE ENGINE BLOCK LEVEL. BOLTS ARE SHEARING INSIDE THE ENGINE HOLE THREADS. THIS IS A VERY DISTINCT AND REOCCURRING ISSUE PLAGUED BY EVERY DODGE RAM OWNER. PLEASE PERFORM A SEARCH AT GOOGLE (OR ANY OTHER ENGINE), KEYWORDS "DODGE RAM EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAK" (HTTPS://WWW.GOOGLE.COM/SEARCH?Q=DODGE+RAM+EXHAUST+MANIFOLD+LEAK&OQ=DODGE+RAM). THERE IS A VERY LOUD DISTINCT TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE ENGINE MANIFOLD. AFTER 30-60 SECONDS IT ALMOST DISAPPEARS; SIMILAR TO ANY OTHER VIDEO OR COMPLAINT FOUND ON THE WWW. SOME HAVE CALLED THEIR DODGE DEALER COMPLAINING ABOUT IT AND EVEN THE DEALERS ARE RECOGNIZING THAT IT IS A FLAW BUT A RECALL WILL NEVER HAPPEN!

Mileage: 75,000

REAR DIFFERENTIAL/PINION FAILURE WHICH WAS REPLACED IN 2014 ACCORDING TO DODGE AND HAS FAILED AGAIN JANUARY 2018. LOUD NOISE IS HEARD FROM REAR OF TRUCK. IT WAS DIAGNOSED BY MECHANIC, NOW DEALER WANTS TO VERIFY. ENGINE HAS HAD TO HAVE NEW CAMS PUT IN. ALSO HAS HAD FAILED EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS. EXHAUST ASSEMBLY HAS A TENDENCY TO FALL OFF THE TRUCK FOR NO REASON. IT SEPARATES AND COMES APART.

TAKATA RECALL. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE YEAR AND MODEL OF MY TRUCK, BUT NOT MY VIN NUMBER.THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM THAT THE RECALL WAS MADE FOR IS WHAT GOING ON WITH MY TRUCK. I HAVE WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT HAVE BROKEN BOLTS ON MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD GASKET, BUT IT IS NOT UNDER THE RECALL, BECAUSE MY VIN DOES NOT STATE IT. THE TRUCK HAS THE SAME PARTS AS ALL THE OTHER TRUCKS, BUT IS NOT CONSIDERED UNDER THE RECALL ALTHOUGH IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE OTHERS. THE DEFECT IS COSTING MAJOR MONEY ON MY BEHALF ON SOMETHING THAT IS OUT OF MY CONTROL AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURE.

DODGE 5.7L HEMI ENGINES HAVE 2 COMMON, RECURRING ISSUES. 1) ENGINE LIFTERS FAIL PREMATURELY CAUSING EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE CAMSHAFT LOBES. THE END RESULT IS A COSTLY REPAIR HAVING TO REPLACE THE CAMSHAFT AND LIFTER. A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND WILL THROW A P030# CODE FOR A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER(S). WHEN THE MISFIRE HAPPENS THE VEHICLE STARTS SHACKING HORRIBLY. I HAVE SEEN A REPORT THAT A 2016 WITH 15K MILES HAD THE ISSUE ALL THE WAY BACK TO 2009 WITH ONLY 72K MILES AND SEVERAL IN BETWEEN. THERE ARE MULTIPLE FORUMS, THREADS, AND COMMENTS ON THIS ISSUE. IT SEEMS VERY COMMON AND DODGE SHOULD BE PROVIDING ASSISTANCE OUTSIDE OF WARRANTIES. YET THEY CHOOSE TO DO NOTHING EXCEPT LOSE CUSTOMERS. 2) THE RECURRING EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BREAKING. MINE WAS REPAIRED ONCE UNDER WARRANTY AND IS CURRENTLY HAVING THE ISSUE AGAIN. AGAIN DODGE SEEMS TO DO NOTHING TO IMPROVE THE MATERIALS TO PREVENT THE ISSUE FROM RECURRING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 RAM 1500. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE WITHOUT WARNING. THE NOISE REMAINED UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS WARMED UP. AFTERWARDS, THE NOISE WENT AWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (LITHIA CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE OF GRAND FORKS, LOCATED AT 2373 32ND AVE S, GRAND FORKS, ND 58201; (701) 864-3645) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MANIFOLD BOLTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ON THE EXHAUST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AT 866-726-4636 AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY; THEREFORE, THEY COULD NOT ASSIST. A CASE NUMBER WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

AT ABOUT 65000 MILES I STARTED HEARING A "TICKING" SOUND FROM THE ENGINE, WHEN IT WAS COLD. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS HAD BROKEN, THIS CAUSES EXHAUST FUMES TO ENTER THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT DURING THE WINTER WHEN USING THE HEATER, AND THE SUMMER USING THE AIR CONDITIONER. . I BELIEVE THAT THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY CHRYSLER USING SUBSTANDARD MATERIALS FOR THESE BOLTS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH THE "HEMI" ENGINE, SO MUCH SO THAT THERE ARE YOU TUBE VIDEOS SHOWING HOW TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER ESTIMATED THE REPAIR COST TO BE $ 1800.00. AS TIME GOES BY I FELT THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS WAS NEVER A PROBLEM WITH OLDER VEHICLES, AND IT HAPPENED AROUND 65,000 MILES THOUGH I TOOK IT IN AROUND 70000 MILES FOR THE ESTIMATE. THESE BOLTS SHOULD OUTLAST THE USEFUL LIFE OF THE VEHICLE IF THEY WERE MADE OF THE PROPER MATERIALS OR WERE PROPERLY HEAT TREATED. IT SEEMS TO BE A REGULAR OCCURRING PROBLEM WITH DODGE RAMS WITH THE HEMI ENGINE. THE DATE OF THE ESTIMATE IS APPROXIMATE.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS SHEERING OFF INSIDE ENGINE BLOCK ALLOWING MANIFOLD TO UNSEAT MAKING TICKING NOISE AND ALLOWING EXHAUST TO ESCAPE OUTSIDE THE VEHICLES MUFFLER. VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE THE FAULTY BOLTS BECAUSE MOST MUST BE DRILLED OUT OF THE BLOCK.

THE 2010 DODGE RAM 1500 HAS SUSPENSION PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT BALL JOINTS BEING TOO SMALL. THIS LEADS TO MY TRUCK SKIPPING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ANY BUMPY ROADS AND HAS CAUSED ME MANY, MANY TIMES TO SUDDENLY LOOSE CONTROL. ON BUMPY DIRT ROADS IT CAN HAPPEN AT 35-45 MPH. ON THE HIGHWAY IT IS VERY BAD BETWEEN 55-60 MPH IF YOU HIT ANY BUMP OR EVEN IN A TIGHT CURVE. THIS TRUCK IS HIGHLY UNSTABLE. WHEN PULLING A BOAT WHERE LESS WEIGHT IS ON THE FRONT WHEELS, IT MULTIPLIES THE PROBLEM. I AM FORCED TO NEVER GO FASTER THAN 50MPH ON ANY CURVES THAT ARE REMOTELY SHARP. THE SECOND PROBLEM IS NOT A ACTIVE SAFETY PROBLEM BUT IS A HORRIBLE PROBLEM FOR EMISSION. MY TRUCK HAS THE INFAMOUS HEMI TICK. THIS IS CAUSED BY FAULTY MANIFOLD BOLTS THAT EITHER BACK OFF, RUST OFF, OR BREAK OFF LEAVING GAPS BETWEEN THE HEAD AND THE MANIFOLD. CO2 IS LEAKING OUT OF THE ENGINE PRIOR TO GOING INTO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THE EPA SHOULD GET INVOLVED...
