NHTSA complaint #11604852, filed 2024-07“Twice while coasting at between 5 & 10 mph, the engine shuts down, a warning shows auto disabled, and applies emergency brake before one can even get the transmission into park. Our concern is that this sudden stop could cause us to be hit from behind. We brought it to a Ram dealership in Hartsville, SC and they could not reproduce problem and have no idea what caused it.”
NHTSA complaint #11653811, filed 2025-04“Which specific part malfunctioned is unknown. I was slowing down as I was approaching a stop sign when the engine shut off.

I continued to proceed on my way driving significantly under the speed limit, for fear of this occurring again.”
