2016 RAM 2500 Complaints

WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DIES AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GOES COMPLETELY OUT, ALL ELECTRICAL GOES OUT, EXCEPT FOR THE RADIO PANEL, BUT NO SPEAKER SOUND. WHEN TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE, EVEN WITH REMOVING THE KEY, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL REMAINS OUT, RADIO PANEL STILL ON WITH NO SOUND. AFTER ABOUT 4-6 KEY TURNS THE TRUCK STARTS AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED ONCE IN A DRIVE THROUGH WHILE MOVING, AND A SECOND TIME, WHILE IN A PARKING LOT AT 5+ MPH. CALIFORNIA TRUCK, 24K MILES. HAPPENED ON A WARM ENGINE 74 DAY. NO MODS TO THE TRUCK, NO SPEED CHIP INSTALLED. INQUIRED WITH DEALER, NO RECALL, NO PREVIOUS SERVICE HISTORY ON THE TRUCK IN THE SYSTEM.

DEAD PEDAL. STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND NOTHING HAPPENS FOR 5 TO 10 SECONDS. THREE TIMES WITH UNDER 5K MILES. RUNNING AT 60 FOR 30 MINUTES ON A HIGHWAY, COME TO A STOP, READY TO CROSS THE STREET, PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR, AND NOTHING, KEEP PRESSING AND IT FINALLY KICKS IN. SECOND TIME, IN STREET TRAFFIC, INCHING ALONG FOR 15 MIN, GET TO YELLOW LIGHT, PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR, AND NOTHING, IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND LIGHT IS RED AND TRUCK WON'T GO. INCHED IT OUT OF THE INTERSECTION. THIRD TIME, ON SAME DRIVE, TRANSITIONING FREEWAYS, RUNNING AT SPEED, 70, THEN CAME TO A STOP ON THE NEW FREEWAY, PRESS ON ACCELERATOR, AND NOTHING FOR MANY SECONDS, THEN IT TAKES OFF. I HAVE LOST CONFIDENCE IN THE VEHICLE AS I DO NOT KNOW WHEN IT WILL NOT PERFORM AND LEAVE ME IN HARMS WAY.

A NOTICEABLE DELAY IN THROTTLE RESPONSE IS PRESENT. SOME TIMES THE DELAY IS SHORT [ 1 SECOND ] OTHER TIMES THE DELAY IS MORE PRONOUNCED [ 2-4 SECONDS ]. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE VEHICLE NOT RESPONDING CORRECTLY. I HAVE NOTICED THE PROBLEM TO BE MORE PREVALENT WHEN HAVING TO QUICKLY TRANSITION FROM BEING ON THE THROTTLE TO OFF AND BACK ON QUICKLY. A GOOD EXAMPLE IS MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY WHERE YOU HAVE TO QUICKLY ACCELERATE IN STAGES TO MATCH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. EACH TIME YOU LIFT AND DEPRESS THE THROTTLE PEDAL THERE MAY BE A DELAY THAT IS NOT CONSISTENT AND CAN CAUSE AN OVER ESTIMATE OR UNDER ESTIMATE OF THE OF THE SPACE NEEDED TO SAFELY AND COURTEOUSLY MERGE. I FEEL THAT THIS A TRUE SAFETY CONCERN . WOULD YOU WANT AN UNPREDICTABLE DELAY WITH THE BRAKES OR THE STEERING? WHY SHOULD THE FUEL PEDAL BE ANY DIFFERENT.

THIS TRUCK HAS EXCESSIVE TORQUE MANAGEMENT. IT CAN ALSO BE DESCRIBED AS DEAD PEDAL. IF YOU PRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL YOU CAN EXPECT A SERIOUS DELAY BEFORE ANY POWER IS TRANSMITTED TO THE WHEELS AND THIS PROBLEM IS MAGNIFIED IF YOU HAVE JUST APPLIED THROTTLE, LET OFF AND IMMEDIATELY NEED THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE SUCH AS WHEN MERGING OR CROSSING TRAFFIC.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 10 IN TRAFFIC I WENT TO ACCELERATE TO CHANGE LANES AND MY 2016 2500 THE ENGINE MADE A LOUD POP AND LOST ALL ENGINE POWER. AND DIDN'T REGAIN ENGINE POWER FOR 3 SECONDS. IT HAS DONE IT SEVERAL TIME SINCE. IT IS A VERY SCARY FEELING WHEN YOUR DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I DO NOT GET ANY CODES OR LIGHTS INDICATING A PROBLEM WHEN THIS HAPPENS. WAS TOLD BY DEALER SERVICE MANAGER THAT WITHOUT ANY CODES COMING UP THAT IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM.

2016 RAM DIESEL 6.7 L EXPERIENCING STALLING WHEN DECELERATING TO STOP - LOSE POWER, RAN OFF ROAD AS RESULT. VEHICLE HAS 3 SECOND DELAY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE- SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN CAUSED SEVERAL NEAR MISSES

NUMEROUS TIMES THE DIESEL HAS STUTTERED AND ACTED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. WAS TAKEN TO SEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. IT IS MAKING WEIRD NOISES WHILE SHIFTING AND IS NOW THROWING A CEL WITH THE CODE P0421.

VIBRATION BETWEEN 65 AND 84 MPH. STARTED HAVING PROBLEM AT 14000 MILES. ALLEGEDLY, DEALER FOUND AXLES TO BE WARPED (SURE THEY WERE) AND REPLACED (UNLIKELY)...BUT THINKING IT WAS LIP SERVICE TO GET ME OUT THE DOOR AND LEAVE THEM ALONE (NO EVIDENCE PROVIDED AFTER SERVICE OF MALFUNCTIONED PARTS). HAVE HAD WHEELS BALANCED NUMEROUS TIMES, CENTRAMATIC BALANCERS APPLIED, NEW TIRES, NEW WHEELS. NOTHING HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM. *TR

RAM DROPPED THE BALL WITH THE THROTTLE DELAY (DEAD PEDAL) FROM A STOP OR SLOW SPEED! 3 MONTH OLD TRUCK, NOW IN NEARLY 2 ACCIDENTS JUST TRYING TO MERGE ONTO HIGHWAY DUE TO THROTTLE DELAY WHILE MY WIFE AND 4 KIDS WERE IN THE TRUCK. 100% DISAPPOINTED - FIX OR LEMON LAW MY VEHICLE.

THE TAILGATE ON MY 2016 RAM 2500 POWER WAGON HAS FALLEN OPEN THREE SEPERATE TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH. AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT, I MADE SURE IT WAS FULLY SHUT BY PULLING/TUGGING ON THE TAILGATE. ALL THREE INCIDENTS OCCURED IMMEDIATELY AFTER ENTERING THE TRUCK AND WHILE ACCELERATING. THE TRUCK WAS MOVING JUST UNDER 30MPH.
