2023 RAM 1500 Complaints

The turn signal does not reset. Which there is a recall for already. I have complained about this issue before the recall to Ram and now there is a recall. But on may 8, 2025 the dealership stated they could not recreate the issue so they closed the recall. Now on June 17, 2025, I brought my car in for a windshield wiper fluid issue and they asked me is there anything else they should check out. I chuckled and said yea, but ram won't fix it. I told them about the turn signal they said they would check it out. This dealership was able to recreate the issue but since the 1st dealership closed the recall out and marker "complete" i now have to pay for the the fix and try to submit a claim through mopar/stellantis.

The Connected Services system in my 2023 Ram TRX regularly displays large, full-screen alerts for emergency vehicles, tow trucks, and lane closures — often when there is no actual hazard present. These alerts are extremely distracting and dangerous. They: Block the entire screen, hiding navigation, camera, and HVAC controls and leaving the screen black until the user interacts with it multiple times to put it back on navigation. Require multiple presses to clear, forcing interaction while driving. Often reactivate within seconds, creating a loop of screen interference. Have triggered during merging, construction zones, heavy traffic, and when passing emergency vehicles or tow trucks, where focus is critical and lives are at risk. Occur falsely 80%+ of the time — no hazard is nearby. Cannot be disabled, according to Stellantis. These alerts violate basic safety interface principles by forcing unnecessary, repeated interaction in active driving conditions, forcing distracted driving. The system is overly aggressive, not user-configurable, and poses a significant distraction risk. Numerous owners on Ram forums have reported similar experiences, including repeated false triggers in the same areas. I am requesting NHTSA investigate this system. Stellantis should be required to: Offer a toggle to disable or limit alert pop-ups. Redesign the alerts to be non-obstructive and passive, or limit them to actual verified hazards. Until addressed, this is a serious safety issue affecting many drivers. I have video evidence of the issue occurring that I can provide.

I have replaced, via warranty, 3 cylinders that have failed within 10,000 miles of the vehicle. This causes my truck to shutter and not accelerate properly. The shop tells me this has been an ongoing problem, however it is not being addressed by Stalantis. Not requesting to do anything for my situation, however it needs to be investigated.

On 3 separate occasions the truck has completely broken down while traveling 60-84mph. Each time, while in motion, the check engine and battery lights come on on the gauge cluster. Voltage starts rapidly draining from the battery indicator before systems start being shut down. Fiirst is entertainment, then climate, the ABS, then steering, and then all power and engine loss. I almost lost control the first time while trying to make it safely over to the soft shoulder. Each of the three times this had happened, the truck was completely dead in the side of the road and was towed to a dealership three times. The truck was towed to 2 different dealerships. The first two times to Imperial Dodge where they charged the battery the first time and did a software update the second time. Most recently the truck had been at DCH Temecula, for two weeks, where nothing has been done due to them not being able to recreate this issue. They recommended that I take video, while driving, as the issue happens live. This is a major safety issue in general but unacceptable that the manufacturer and dealerships only solution is for me to put myself and my family in jeopardy, and break California law, to diagnosis this massive unsafe vehicle.

Tailgate unlatched one its own when I was backing up. It dropped and struck another vehicles bumper. Tailgate is smashed now. I was watching the back up camera and the tailgate was closed. It electronically opened itself and dropped down with me doing anything.

My left blinker randomly comes on but if I turn on the right signal the left goes off and right doesn't work and will eventually work normally again

Related to auto start/stop. When coming to a stop, vehicle shuts off while still moving at 2-3 mph. Not just occasionally but EVERY time. Also, cannot park or put into reverse without vehicle shutting off too early, just to restart itself before going onto park or reverse. Took the vehicle in for recalls but did not change how auto start/ stop functions. Dealer could not replicate. Still to this day doing same thing.

There have been multiple failures from the injector in multiple cylinders resulting in hesitation and shaking in the vehicles. My understanding is that many of the maintenance shops have had to replace this exact component in many 1500's due to its failure. I was informed that Stellantis has been informed, however refused to issue a recall or redesign the unit. Also, they are not covering it under the power trane warranty, even thought the engine won't run without a fully functioning injector. Yes this is a safety issue because of the hesitation it causes, therefore putting you in harms way when pulling out in traffic.

I have a 2023 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 12” Uconnect/ infotainment/ telematics system. The system only works for a minute possibly 2 minutes if I am lucky. The whole system shuts off which takes away my bluetooth capabilities, backup camera, all sound systems. My ability to access all safety features on my vehicle. For the not so safety problems, the heat and cooling is just a guessing game. I have no access to use the heated seat or steering wheel features in a brand new vehicle (I lived where it gets -40 degrees fahrenheit when I got this truck.) It also does not allow my cluster gauge to show time, or temperature. This truck has been in and out of the dealership to be worked on for this specific problem more than 3 times. They have replaced the whole system 4 times and replaced a ton of other parts and pieces, and running many diagnostics on it. It has now been at the dealership for over 30 days with no success.

This vehicle was built during the Covid 19 Pandemic. The windshield is leaking at a faulty windshield seal causing water to leak from the headliner onto the driver which will distract the driver causing a safety issue. This 2023 Ram was purchased in June 2024 and is under the 3/36 warranty. The Ram dealership confirmed the leaking seal gasket but would not honor the warranty. Dealership said any glass issues are only covered for 12 months.
