“I was driving on I-65 in indianapolis, in traffic, when my engine abruptly shut off and the ignition mode switched from run to acc. This caused me to lose all propulsion power and I was forced to cross lanes to get over to the right shoulder.

NHTSA complaint #11405327, filed 2021-03, 39,350 miles“My 2019 Ram fuel filler neck causes any gas pump nozzle I use to become stuck and makes refueling take much longer than it should. The gas pump nozzle continuously turns off not allowing me to fill my gas tank. The filler neck?s design seems to trigger the gas pumps? Automatic shutoff when the tank isn?t full yet. Sometimes the pump shuts off every few seconds, forcing me to fill my trucks? Tank ounces at a time.”

I brought it into the dealership and they looked the truck over and advised they couldn't find an issue. Told me to bring the truck to a gas station with a longer nozzle. I was also advised they would reach out to Ram for another solution. No follow up still having issues at multiple locations, fuel also spills out of the tank when the nozzle stops working.”
NHTSA complaint #11378200, filed 2020-12, 10,000 miles“Location: state hwy 55, buffalo, mn, intersection with central avenue description of the issue: while stopping at the red light and applying the brake, the truck experienced a sudden acceleration burst. Even though the brake was fully applied, the engine was accelerating on its own and pushing the truck.
