Why is my 2017 Ram 1500 jerking when coming to t stop and when pulling off

Sounds suspiciously like transmission.

Use your warranty.

I have the same problem with my 2016 Ram 1500. Took it to the dealer and have them in contact with Chrysler. The truck has been there for almost two weeks not and they still can't figure out what's wrong. First they upgraded the software...then changed the valve body...and the problem still there. They are still trying to find the actual problem. Recommend take it to the dealer ASAP and not take it back till they fix it.

GuruDTGBD, my 2016 Ram is doing the same. Service dept said "it's normal"... Uh...no... Did they ever find your problem?

My Ram 1500 crew cab does exactly the same thing, dealership reprogrammed the computer then reset the transmission> they said they reproduce the problem. I will take it to another dealership. truck has only 38000 km. any ideas

My 2010 Ram 1500 does the exact same jerking motion when almost at a complete stop and taking foot off the brake before pressing on the gas pedal. The gas cap light came on with a check engine code and had a smoke test done at Dodge and they replaced solonoids etc on top of the gas tank. Fixed that problem and I hoped it would fix the sputtering and jerking as well but it did not. The only two things I can think of is fuel filters and/or spark plugs... Did you ever solve your problem? Hoping to find the problem so I don’t throw any unnecessary parts at it.

My 2016 ram big Horn does same thing. Only 20600 miles on the truck. Going to call the dealer this week

My 2017 Laramie does that as well and I think I know why. It’s when the truck downshifts to come to a complete stop after and when it’s using the engine at a brake, it jerks like a mofo. Any other time it’s smooth. Next time you’re driving down a steep hill, pay attention to what it does when it engine brakes, and if you have a stop not too long after the hill. If it stops engine braking before you need to stop it won’t do the jerky thing.

I am having the same problem. 2016 Dodge Ram rebel..

Have exactly the same problem with my 2016 ram 1500. Had 37000km on it at the time. Dealer initially said new brakes needed at this low mileage. So $2000 later guess what? Dealer said new transmission would fix it. It did for about 2 weeks then back to same problem. Dealer then said nothing can fix it. They said Dodge outsources the transmission to another company who supply the same transmission to Chevy who have the same problem. This dealer told me it’s compensating for the ECO feature. I don’t know what to believe anymore.

I had the same problem with my 16 Ram. The dealer changed the valve body, put in 2 new transmissions, Dodge ended up buying my truck back. Bought another 16 Ram a month ago and it's doing the same thing again. Now I have to deal with that. This might be my last Ram. Been faithful for the pass 17 years. I guess it's time.

I have done a lot of research on this the past year or two, talking to the Vice President of Dodge and a lot of different people and mechanics and the issue is, well not really an issue is that the Cam is a lot bigger then a lot of engines so you can have that “HEMI POWER”. The rollers on the cam shaft can become worn down and the valves will not lift all the way on a HEMI engine only if you go a long time without changing your engine oil. But the very faintly jerking is normal and nothing to worry about. Hope this helps!

I have a 2017 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SXT with 55000 miles on it! The car has rough idle even on Neutral! When the car comes to a complete stop and try to accelerate the van makes a jerking motion. Took it to 3 dealerships and no ones was able to find the problem !!! No codes!

I have a 2016 1500 32,000 miles mines does the same thing. Took it to the dealership they say there is nothing really wrong and there is no fix to it. I feel like something is wrong and they dnt wanna replace the transmission because I'm still under warranty

My 2016 Ram 1500 does the same thing. I took it in at approximately 5,000 miles and was told the jerking was just the brakes being broken in. I did not believe that. I have owned used and new cars and none of those cars had this issue. I took it back again at about 7,000 miles and the software was updated. At about 14,000 miles took it back in, and parts where replaced. I wasn't told what parts. At about 30,000 miles still the same problem. I finally blew up on the dealer and told them I would take them to court and they agreed to have the transmission replaced. I took a month and a half to get my truck back. Guess what? the same problem still there. I am really leaning towards having them buy back my truck.

I have the same problem on my 2016 Ram 1500 Sport 4x4 with 36,000 miles., I've been to the dealer multiple time. This first time it happen was after a recall. Then the jerking started. The dealer performed a transmission update. That didn't not help dealer wanted me to drive the truck for 500 miles because of the self learning transmission. This will fix it self they said. BS . I open a case with Chrysler and took the truck to another dealer. They replace the value body and then the transmission. The problem is still their taking the truck back am not dealing with this anymore.

I got mine fixed after leaving my dodge to the dealer for 1 and a half month! After replacing torque converter,transmition pump “and engine/transmition mounts nothing correct the problem ! So what causing the problem is the one of the cylinders had a slightly lower compression causing the jerk in low rpms! They fixed the compression to be correct and jerking went away

Just looking for an update on your fix for the jerking . Is your truck diesel .

any answers to the "bump" issue Possibly the Compression in the cylinders isn't correct?

I GOT 2017 RAM LONESTARWITH ONLY 29000 MILES. SAME PROBLEM JERKING BEFORE COMPLETE STOP. DEALER TOLD ME THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. IM TAKING TODAY TO MY MECANIC AND SEE WHAT HE SAY. MISSED MY 2002 RAM.

Mine had the same problem. I took it to my dealer and he did a factory reset of the 'learning how I drive'. Apparently my truck learns how I drive and compensates. When he unlearned the truck the bunny hop at the end of breaking has gone away. However, apparently it will come back over time as it learns how I drive again...

I have a Ram 1500 Rebel year 2016. I was experiencing the same problem with the slight hop at the end of breaking. I took the truck into my dealer and they did a factory reset of the 'learn how I drive and compensate thing' ( sorry, I'm not a car person). The Hop has now gone away however, the dealer said it will return overtime as my truck learns how I drive again.

My valve body was replaced, and supposedly re-greased the Spline, Still having the lurching issue. I have read on the RAM forum that a complete replacement of the driveshaft may be necessary. I guess once the slipping has began, its too late to repair

The dealer has gone as far as replacing my transmission. They are telling me that this is a normal characteristic of the truck. I got an attorney and opened a lemon law case. Chrysler is now buying back my vehicle. I will be returning the truck in a few weeks not dealing with this problem anymore

Driveshaft People !!!! Mine was doing the same jerking motion at stops !!! 2016 RAM 1500 R/T !! Until one day in the freeway hauling ass my drive snapped In two !! Dealer was backed up for months on the part !! Ordered a custom performance drive shaft from the Driveshaft shop in North Carolina ! Been installed for about 5k miles currently at 31k and I have not had an issue whatsoever anymore !

Dmeza24, did the jerking ever come back or still running good?

Dropping my 2012 dodge ram hemi 1500 laramie at the shop tomorrow I have change spark plugs coil pack cylinders scanner still reads miss fire cylinder #5 when I drive truck it goes smooth but then all of sudden you feel it jerking while I step on gas pedal I have to ease on the gas pedal for it not to jerk so much but it goes up to 80 and runs great but when I slow down and try to go faster again it jerks motor shakes but idles nice

I am 100% confident that I have the answer to most of your issues. If you were getting a clunking feeling whenever you come to a complete stop and go to pull off again, Clunk feel like someone is dropped in the bed of the truck. This will be the driveshaft if your vehicle has a two piece driveshaft with the spline built into the driveshaft itself. What is happening is when you go to slow down the rear of the truck lift as you come to a stop the driveshaft spline is extended and gets locked in place, then once you release the break the driveshaft is lucid and it drops back down to its original location. This is caused to the fact that the lubrication has worked its way out and the driveshaft is sticking. It took 48,000 miles and 16 trips to the Dodge dealership to figure out what the problem was on my vehicle. I ended up putting a camera under the truck to view the undercarriage and was able to determine what the problem was showed it to the mechanic that agreed and the dealership installed a new driveshaft on my truck. The problem went away for approximately four months and then start all over again with the same issue. This time I remove the driveshaft and re-lubricated the spline and the problem went away once again. This will temporarily fix the issue although it is a manufacture defect that they won’t admit to. That’s why they say it is normal!!
