2022 RAM 1500 Complaints

When attempting to merge with traffic and accelerate quickly the transmission occasionally will stay locked in a lower gear leading the engine to stall out causing a collision risk. This usually occurs when attempting to accelerate quickly. When accelerating from a stopped position, there is a delay in power which requires the operator to time their merges in anticipation of this problem. This also caused the vehicle to lurch forward adding to the risks of accidental collision.

Steering does not work right when turn left on long left turns like exits. It is like it stick at that location and you have to give more force to come out of the turn then when you go back it start over like it back and forth on the long swiping turns. Any other time it is fine. Scary on the highway. It start when under warranty to it a couple times but the dealer could not make it happen it still happening but now out of warranty.

On Sunday [XXX] my family and I were driving home from Fort Smith Arkansas and the truck lost the entire front right suspension. When I purchased the truck ([XXX]) from Meador Dodge I purchased the truck with the lift, tires and wheels that were installed by Meador dodge. In July of 2023 I took the truck to Alliance Dodge for an oil change and alignment. The Alliance dealership informed me at that time that the factory control arms were still on the truck and with the lift that Meador Dodge installed they should have installed the correct control arms for the lift. Due to availability based on Meadors schedule i was not able to get the truck repaired by Meador until December of 2023. Date of purchase : [XXX] Date found that the wrong control arms on the truck: [XXX] - Truck had 20,088 Miles Date when correct control arms were installed: December 20,2023 - Truck had 26105 Miles Date of Accident: [XXX] - Truck had 46,186 Miles on it In short due to Meador not installing the correct control arms and I drove the truck for over 26,000 miles which is more than 1/2 of the miles driven on the truck that the incorrect control arms caused the other parts to fail and caused the accident.

The information system with the back up camera will lock up and not display the back up view or will display a view as a photo and not a video. It is making a loud buzzing noise when it is happening. It will then shut down and restart on its own, this usually takes about 2 minutes and then it is OK until i turn it off and restart it again. Does not happen every time but I would say that it happens 3 out of 5 times I start the vehicle.

The right turn signal light will not cancel when setting the turn signal back to neutral. The left turn will not light up the left signal. Setting the turn signal to the left signal has become the only way to cancel the right turn signal light.

On two occasions, separated by a period of weeks, while traveling approximately 25 mph, the vehicle's engine died without warning. This prompted autobraking that brought the vehicle to a stop. I was required to put the vehicle into park and was able to restart the engine, release the parking brake, and continue. A review of various forums indicates this is a known problem among other Ram 1500 owners who have experienced more severe circumstances, including crashes, as a result. Feedback from the dealership is that they are unable to reproduce the event and have no guidance on how to correct.

I was traveling at low speeds and made a left hand turn and the vehicle stalled. The next day was at the same spot and made the same left turn and the vehicle stalled again.

On separate occasions, both the driver and passenger side visors spontaneously detached and fell into the line of sight while driving. In the case of the driver side visor, I was traveling on the interstate at approximately 75 mph when the visor failed and fell into my light of sight, impairing visibility. The failure was also sudden and distracting. The passenger side visor failed in the same way about 9 months later. It appears that a part securing the visor to the roof of the vehicle is defective and can fail without warning.

My truck has been at the dealer for over a month for recall 24V-653 for part 68728723AA (ABS control module). Dealer took the truck in fried the abs module trying to flash the module. They ordered a new module but has been on backorder and there is no ETA on the part delivery. I have yet to even receive a fair replacement of the vehicle that is out of order from either dealer or manufacture.
