Cam and lifters are a common problem on the 13-20 (maybe 21-present too) ram 1500s with 5.7L Hemi. I see this happen all the time with these trucks under 100k miles and even under 50k miles. I don-€™t think it-€™s the cam and lifters. I think the problem is more oil starvation type situation. And when they go out it-€™s costly.

exhaust manifold bolts broken on both sides which is allowing exhaust gases to leak out.

- St. Marys, PA, USA

Electrical Power Steering (EPS) light turned on. Car is not drivable at this time. I understand that there is a known defect with the EPS in this make and model of the year.

- Hialeah, FL, USA

When at idle or driving at low RPM the engine ticks very loudly.

- Lakewood, WA, USA

My side boxes do not open with key button and do not unlock with button on key and my bolts broke on exhaust manifold on drivers side and passenger side 4 bolts total

- Ferriday, LA, USA

The truck just shut off, couldn-€™t get it started or move it out of traffic. I was out of state and 560 miles from home. No warning lights, no issues just cut off!

- Concord, NC, USA

The exhaust manifolds break on every truck. Leak exhaust gas. Tech told me every single truck has this problem how is it not a recall yet

- Old Bridge, NJ, USA

Check engine light blinking. Bad lifter in motor causing the engine to shut down while driving, very very dangerous.

- Cedar Hill, TX, USA

Exhaust manifold leak due to both rear studs breaking on each side of the engine. This is my 3rd dodge ram with the 5.7 liter engine that has had this problem. The other vehicle years were a 2003 Ram 2500 and a 2014 Ram 1500. With as many complaints about this problem, I am surprised there hasn't been a fix and a recall. So far, I am 3 trucks each with the same issue. I would think that two exhaust manifolds leaking in the engine compartment would pose as a safety issue by breathing the fumes sucked into the cab.

- Willard, UT, USA

Both manifolds are leaking

- Spokane Valley, WA, USA

My engine is vibrating badly. It turns off while driving, even in the middle of the freeway.

- Cedar Hill, TX, USA

Check engine light turns on indicating a cylinder 5 misfire. Replaced spark plug and ignition coil. Mechanic said lifters in these engines typically seize and destroy the camshaft. Vehicle runs rough and shuts off intermittently. When traveling over 50 mph there is no acceleration.

- Eagle Pass, TX, USA

I am very upset that Ram trucks from 2011 to 2014 have consistently been having issues with the 5th cylinder, (cyl 5 misfire) and as to my surprise is a very expensive repair ill be out of at least out of $3600 (that I don't have, and definitely cannot afford a new vehicle) specially with all the issues that are going on with covid-19 and the economy. Not sure how long the repairs will hold up because from the amount of complaints, this issue needs to be a recall. All the people that have done the exact same repair have ended up rebuilding the whole motor or buying a different truck (not Ram of course). I always known that hemi motors are great but now im disappointed

- Cypress, TX, USA

Camshaft and camshaft lifters are causing misfire under load (shaking badly at 50 mph). This is the second truck that we have owned with the exact same issue.

- Flagler Beach, FL, USA

The computer screen will not light so you cant use any of your controls had to replace brakes shocks and struts and calipers sun roof wont open back window wont open the engine light is on saying low oil pressure but the gage on the truck shows it right in the middle cant use the radio or the phone or control the air or the heat because that's all on the screen that wont light up the back up camera wont work I checked for recalls on the VIN number it said there was none the exhaust manifold ticks super loud when you first start it then the noise goes away after the truck warms up I have put new tires on it twice I have the oil changed every time that its due with expensive royal purple had to put a new battery in it the truck might look nice but I would never purchase another one !!!!!!!!!!! it has been the worst vehicle I have ever purchased and I am very disappointed with the truck and the experience !!!!!!!!!0

- Beaverton, MI, USA

Bolts holding exhaust manifold to engine block broke on both sides. This leads to exhaust leak, as well and a ticking and rough idle from cold start.

- Oklahoma City, OK, USA

My truck will not start, it won't even turn on.it continuously says check the fuel cap and the check engine light will turn on but absolutely nothing is wrong with it (before it started to act up). Even though it seems like the batteries dead and we know it won't turn on it's still making a loud like clicking or knocking noise. It will stop for a minute and then start again. I've never heard a car do that before so I don't think that's normal. My clicker key won't even work to lock or unlock or even set the panic off.

- Black River, NY, USA

My truck failed the state inspection because 2 exhaust manifold bolts on the passenger side had broken off and were inside the cylinder head with no way to get them out. I had the truck towed to a mechanic upon discovering how deep they had broken off with no success at removing the first one and the mechanic was also unable to remove them. They have now been drilled out by the mechanic which created a coolant leak out of one of the bolt holes and it looks like I'll need a new cylinder head. I've read it's a common issue and now I'm expecting the drivers side to do the same any time if they aren't broken already.

- Gloucester, VA, USA

Truck has 66K miles and oil changes done regularly. Valve seat dropped into cylinder causing piston to seize. New engine needed as a result.
