Engine shutting down while driving

Good morning
Still dealing with this issue of course.
Had an appointment with dodge yesterday. The truck of course stalled on the way into town, this time in the middle of traffic. (We were stopped in construction but still)
Anyway the "Dealership tested and verified complaint scanned for DTC'S found numerous low voltage DTC'S. ran and found vehicle, not charging properly. tested charging system - Okay, perform battery load test and found battery failed-ten volts @ 0 CCA"
Here is thier correction: Replaced faulty battery assembly.
Period checked and cleaned 48. Volt pass through connector as well period road tested extensively to try To duplicate stalling, -
No issues noted. Auto, stop-start working properly at this time.
Anyway, my service advisor has said that they Found that the 48V passthrough connector Was faulty on another vehicle that was having the same issue. Changed the connector and the person has not had an issue since.So maybe this is something that we all need to look into. I just got This work completed yesterday. So I cannot say a hundred percent sure that this is a fixed but fingers crossed it is.
 
Has there been any reports of this happening with the 2024? I have a 2024 V6 pentastar Big Horn. My wife and I are taking it on a 10-11 hour trip this week but after reading this thread I’m almost afraid to drive it now. Anyone know if this was ever corrected?
Supposedly this only affects tho 2019 - 2022 etorque models.
 
Any concrete resolution on this? Read through most of the pages but seems like there is no recall for my 2022 Ramm 1500 w/ 5.7-liter V8 eTorque system. Just experienced my first stall today going through an intersection and has me pretty freaked. Thankfully no one was there but Texas drives can be fast and stupid resulting in a much unluckier experience.

From what I found NHTSA is only just looking into my model: NHTSA Investigates Engine Stalls on 2022 HEMI eTorque Vehicles

****** UPDATE**********
Well this did not fix my issue. Drove it about 650km before the stalling issue has returned. So again i have my truck booked in for more diagnostic..........excuse me while I find a spot to beat myhead against the wall.
 
I was driving my truck, 2023 3.6L ETorque Big Horn with 11615 miles, today and was making a relatively slow turn into a shopping center when my truck stalled and the battery light came on. I checked the voltage on the screen and it was down to 12.2 volts. It restarted and I was able to move it to the parking lot and then drove to the local RAM dealership where I was. They at least pulled a code and it was the P032F code. It is a very weird and frankly dangerous thing to happen. I also noted that on start, my battery was down to 12.3 and slowly rose to full 14V. It is at my dealership now and they also were able to pull a code.
 
My 2024 RAM 1500 with 9k miles started this last week and engine shutoff at low speed either starting at low speed from green light or turning left < 10mph. Engine shuts off while rolling, all the dash alerts go off ESC, AEB, Shift knob to Stop, Auto park engaged. Last time before dropping it at the dealer it would not restart in a really large intersection. It would take a couple of minutes to reset the electronics before I got the press brake/push start message only to get a gauges reset and finally back to the press brake/push start message. I finally managed to start it and drove it straight to the dealer (there still now). Just curious since this seems to be a eTorque feature has anyone experienced this with the auto stop/start feature disabled? My buddy has the same truck and has experienced zero issues....he installed a stop/start bypass when he first bought the truck.
 
2021 Ram 1500 Laramie Crew Cab, e-torque. The truck randomly turns off, happened to me once and my wife twice. When it shuts off the brake auto engages! As it should, but this shut off deal alot of people are experiencing is going to cause an accident. Of course the dealer can't find any codes, can't find any problems and cannot get the truck to stall on their 3 mile drive.

Exactly the same thing has been happening to me. 2023 RAM 1500 with 18K miles. The first time it happened I was at a stop light at a large intersection. All the dash lights went on and couldn't restart. Brake pedal was hard and emergency brake engaged. Had it towed to the dealer and of course they found no codes and could not reproduce. Got the truck back from the dealer after a few days and two days later it happened again. Back to the dealer and yep, no codes, couldn't reproduce. The kept it for about 5 days driving and trying to reproduce. Next time I was 2,000 miles lateer while heading on a long trip, got 200 miles from home and it happened again when I pulled over for a pit stop. Dealer has had the truck now for 14 more days and can't reproduce. Dodge (Stelantis) customer service is not helpful at all. They keep closing the case because, you guessed it, the dealer service department can't reproduce the issue. What comes next? What are you all doing about this issues on your own vehicles?

My '24 is back at the dealer, I opened an escalated case with RAM Care (worthless)....mine has a ton of codes: lost comms with PCM/ECM, ton of bad data codes from BCM. My theory is the BMC is flooding the CAN BUS, causing PCM to do shutoff. I've started documenting my RAM under lemon law. Prior to drop off, I tested in neighborhood and got the shutoff event around 20 minutes of driving....looking back at the 9 occurences, here are the common things: all events happened after giving if light gas from slow turn (< 15) or stop, always under 30mph, it has always happened 20-30 minutes after starting the truck. Twice I had difficulty restarting truck....after sequencing throught the dashboard alerts, electronics would just reset when pressing the start button. I monitored voltage during the testing...all was normal (13.8-14.0)

I am dealing with a recurring rolling shutoff issue (not stall) on my '24 Laramie with 9k miles. Its currently at dealer for 2nd time. 9 occurences over 2 weeks. Here's my symptons: <30 mph light acceleration from full stop or slow turn, 20-30 mins after starting the truck. I can't consistently reproduce it, and that is the problem.
 
Mine stalled for the third time in 66k miles. Same scenario all three times and twice on the same corner.

Occurs on a rolling stop where the start/stop engages but you accelerate immediately and the system gets tripped up and stalls. Truck immediately throws a battery error and engages the e-brake. Upon restart the battery shows weak voltage. Truck seems to go into a limp mode. A second restart clears any errors and the truck runs normally.

NHTSA has an active investigation with this. I’d encourage anyone that has experienced this to fill out a report on the website.

Just filled one out.
 
Just dropped mine off at the dealer for the 3rd stall and newest recall. Here’s what the guy said, “Third stall in 66,000 miles?”. Shrugged his shoulders. Asked him if he felt a vehicle stalling while pulling out into traffic wasn’t a big deal? Sad.
 
Since dealer done the update for traction control, I have not had a incident. That does not mean it's fixed in my mind.
The biggest problem now is the 12 in. monitor seems to have a mind of its own.
 
Watching thread for resolution. I’m new here but concerned about my 20 Ram 1500 v6 etorque I just bought used a few months ago. Curious about the RF Hub myself as I had leaking rear window but fixed it myself. Thinking I will try to put some plastic sheets over the hub to “waterproof” just in case, but it’s sad anyone would need to 😑. Wondering if anyone else has done this?

I did with Saran Wrap.
 
Anything new on this Corrie?
I didnt see this reply, sorry about that! I brought it in and had them check all the things on the list and they were unable to find anything. Not too long after, the screen went kaput, they replaced the screen and reset all the software and I have not had the issue since THANK GOD! probably not related but i do still have EVERY single day a loss of power on turns at low speeds. Like driving at 35, slwoing to turn right and then falls on its face before accelerating again. seems more common on right turns. It is so annoying.
 
Has anyone noticed the amount of fuel in the tank when it stalls?
They have changed the generator kept it at multiple times for multiple weeks all recall updates are complete.
However, and this is truely messed up.......I have noticed that my stalling issue seems to occur when my fuel tank hits 1/4 tank mark. If I don't let it drop below that mark it seems to run fine. Could be an extremely wierd coincidence but I went on a week long trip drove all over never let my tank get to a 1/4 tank good to go. Before I left tank got just below 1/4 mark it stalled. Came home let it drop, truck stalls, last 5 or 6 times it has had issues all were below 1/4 tank.
So just wondering if this is something anyone has noticed
I did consider this to be a possible factor so I watched fo rit but for me no difference.
 
Has anyone had this issue resolved? It happened to me for the first time today on my 2021 limited while I was taking my kid to school. Thankfully it happened in the neighborhood, and not on the main road. Same as everyone else, slow turn right at a stop sign and the engine cut out then the emergency brake came on.

I cannot leave my truck at the dealership for an extended period because the local dealership will not issue me a loaner vehicle since I bought it before moving to this area.
2023 Laramie with e torque engine. Twice in 2 months had e brake come on while driving 55 mph. Second time the truck stalled. This is over 2 months time. Nothing unique with driving. Dealership couldn’t find a problem the first time and now it’s back in the shop. Was supposed to be a priority but turns out Saturday is for oil changes. Hope I’m not waiting too long . No loaner for me.
