2023 RAM 1500 Complaints

The contact owns a 2023 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and towing a trailer, there was an abnormally loud sound coming from the vehicle. The contact drove the vehicle to the shoulder of the road and inspected the vehicle. While inspecting the vehicle, the contact became aware that the tailgate had independently unlatched. The contact stated that the tailgate had fallen onto the crank. The contact stated that there were damages to the tailgate and the paint due to the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the contact was informed that the repair was not covered under recall or special programs. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The contact referenced an unknown recall; however, the VIN was not under recall. The failure mileage was approximately 22,550.

When it is raining, even a moderate amount, the air flow from driving down the road blows/directs the water from the windshield across the drivers window. Making it extemely difficult to see out the window for on coming traffic or to use the drivers side mirror.

Truck did an emergency shut down while backing out of the driveway, would not move out of intersection for over 30 minutes. left blocking road.

Factory trailer brake controller does not work as it should. Trailer brake controller has 4 settings in owners manual they are as follows: Heavy over electric, Lite over electric, heavy over hydraulic, lite over hydraulic. My truck only has lite over electric and does not save the trailer as it should in the radio. The radio, BCM and Trailer brake control module has been replaced by Mopar under warranty to see if this fixes the problem. It has not fixed the problem. The dealership has checked all of wiring to see if this is a problem. it has not been to the dealer 8 times still has an open ticket on it. My truck is capable of carrying a load of 10,650 lbs. and needs the heavy tow brake system. I do not understand why Mopar cannot fix this issue. Dealership said that they are not going to do any more work to the vehicle for me to go get a second opinion on this problem.

Ran over tripod laying in road it flipped up slicing a hole in fuel tank. Tank has no metal cover to protect from road hazzards such as metal striking plastic tank resulting in a hole in fuel tank

Motor stalled while moving. Transmission automatically went into park , emergency brake was applied all before it came to a full stop. Took to dealership and code P032F came up . When serviced dealership said they can’t find anything wrong.Ram had the same problem with the V8 and came up with a update. Nothing available for the 3.6 L

experienced the exact same failure mode as Ram Recall 24V-729 and my truck and model year fall into the affected vehicle models however my VIN # was not included in the recall. My blinkers do not work as exactly described in 24V-729 and Ram refuses to take financial responsibility of this known issue and make me pay for this safety concern especially when its a known safety recall this year and model truck.

Steering column control module went out. Right blinker will not stop and left doesn't work at all. Even in the off position right stays on so I have to put it down to the not working left to stop that but any movement and its starts again. It is a traffic hazard and even though 165,000 Rams were recalled this past year they say its VIN specific and will not cover my $400 repair. My truck is unusable until they repair this.

Driving down the freeway, with no previous issues at 80MPH. Next thing the truck stalls and won't restart. Vehicle jumped and runs when connected stops immediately once unjumped. Replaced battery at 51,000 miles and vehicle runs fine. Concern is the alternator is not strong enough to power the vehicle if the battery dies for mysterious reasons.

The truck has been to the dealer on multiple occasions because I continue to receive airbag system alerts. When the alert comes on a warning displays on the console that the airbag system has malfunctioned. The dealer states the clock spring needs to be replaced. I’ve been waiting since November 22, 2024 for the part. It is now June 27, 2025 and still don’t have the part. I experience the alert on my console at least 3-5 times a week.
