    The engine oil cooler on the pentastar 3.6l v-6 engine cracked causing oil to leak onto other engine parts and the ground. I noticed the oil leaking after driving approximately 4 miles. This could easily start a fire or cause an engine to seize. *tr

    After pulling into my drive way with my adult son in the passenger seat i was rolling up to the garage with my foot on the brake pedal slowing down the truck. I stopped the truck completely, by pushing on the brake pedal harder, about 5 feet from the house. I reached down to rotate the shift dial to park, "p".

    Initially, the vehicle had an abnormally strong new car smell. (the smell has now been widely reported on internet forums by other owners.) i thought this would dissipate over time.

In addition, a foul odor came from the heating…

    There is a nasty propane smell coming from the truck, i have noticed this is an issue with the 2013 dodge ram 1500. I have been told that there is an issue with the antifreeze that is being used and is causing a chemical reaction with the rubber hoses. System has to be flushed and new antifreeze added and all rubber hoses replaced. *tr
