I've never had an issue with the etorque system but yesterday at a stop sign the truck shut off as normal but when I went to hit the gas nothing. I had to put it in park and start it with the push button. It was about 5 degrees outside but cold hadn't effected it before and it's been fine since. I'm hoping it was a glitch. anyone else ever have this happen?

Never had an issue even in -5F.

There has been several "customer improvement programs" (RAM provided recalls).

You should take it to the dealership and have them apply the latest HCP update.

that's not something I remember reading about anyone having problems with. I never had that issue with the two etorque Hemi's we've owned. But then again I usually disabled stop/start on those trucks. Our current truck doesn't have etorque so of course it will never happen with this truck.

Just once...last year in the drive-thru lane at KFC. I believe it was a software/programming glitch. Has worked as normal for hundreds of auto-stops since then.
