There are a lot of complaints the the 1500 is stalling here is one post on these forums where it is happening to a lot of owners.
Hey guys, A month ago I was driving in traffic at very low speed, pretty much bumper to bumper. Suddenly the truck engine shuts off and the hazard lights came on by it self. I was not able to get it restarted immediately. All entertainment and lights were still working. there are no warning...

I don't really know how to answer this. What is "a lot"? There's been a million Rams sold. There might be 20 people in that thread that had the issue. Even if there's 5 other threads with 20 people that's still only 100 people. Even if there's 5,000 people driving around that had the problem and never bothered signing up for an account so they could tell us about it, that's still not even 1/10th of one percent. In my book, that doesn't really count as "a lot".
As for E-torque, most people who have it in the forums like it. Some do not. A few have had problems, which makes sense because any time you add complexity into a process you are more likely to have a problem than not. I personally don't have any use for it, because I don't like added complexity, but even those that have it there's hardly any real problems.
Insurance company statistics say that your chance of being in a car crash is about 3% for every 10k miles driven. If you drive 10k miles this year, do you consider it highly likely (the companion to "a lot") that you'll be in a car crash this year? If so, how do you even manage to leave the driveway in the morning?
Take the internet with a lot of perspective. Something that's a blowout problem here may not even register outside your computer screen.
