2018 RAM 1500 Complaints

I was driving down a country road with my kids in the car and my vehicle started to stall and then the engine turned off while the vehicle was still moving. Lucky I was not driving on a busy road and was able to get it safely off the roadway onto a dirt shoulder. The lightening bolt symbol on my truck was on as it was stalling. I contacted the dealership and was told there are no fixes for the recalls on my vehicle. They also related there are no loaner vehicles to give me. I do not feel safe driving my truck until these issues are fixed. I refuse to put the safety of my kids and myself at risk.

The auto park disabled will come on. Other lights will flash and eventually the truck powers off. It is going to cause someone to be killed. Other ram and jeep owners have experienced the same and dealers can't seem to figure out the problem

Manufacturer has failed to provide a remedy for the Z46 recall, the primary "intended" use of the vehicle is for towing, and as such I feel that the vehicle is unsafe for its "intended" use. I have contacted Mopar online, and I have contacted the dealership multiple times. With no resolution, or suggested remedy. I am simply left with a vehicle of questionable reliability which I feel is unreasonable.

This safety issue deals with the touch screen radio. The laminate or glue appears to have oozing on the inside of the touch screen. This oozing has caused the touchscreen to have a mind of its own and begin calling people, turning cameras on, adjust vehicle settings included in the uconnect package. The touchscreen cant be shut off and continues to make changes as your driving. Today the vehicle began calling telephone numbers and hanging up, switching between radio, backup camera, telephone etc etc etc. As i continually attempted to stop the chaos I nearly had a headon collision. This is a well known issue with this touch screen and Im shocked that nothing has been done to force a recall or correction from RAM. This has been an ongoing issue. It use to just change the channel on the radio. Now its turned into a more serious issue where someone can be killed. I would like to turn the unit off but it cant be shut down.

The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact stated that after the vehicle was parked, the contact returned and attempted to restart the vehicle however, the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and diagnosed with a failed high-pressure fuel pump. The contact was informed that the high-pressure fuel pump needed to be replaced. The dealer was made aware of the failure but confirmed that parts were not yet available. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 189,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

The Uconnect system which controls almost every electrical aspect of my truck is malfunctioning. There seems to be an issue with the screen and it goes into a "ghost method" and the screen will start changing without being touched. This screen controls safety features, cameras, navigation, etc. i have seen several forums where ram owners are complaining about this and this needs to be a Recall!

Jun 09,2022 Manufacturer Recall NumberZ46 NHTSA Recall Number22V-406 I have experienced hard starting and a CEL that referred to High Pressure Fuel Rail. I have contacted Stellantis and made them aware as well as bringing the vehicle to the dealership on [XXX]. The recall was released back in 6/2022. How can there still not be a corrective course of action for such a serious safety and reliability problem. Please help me to understand. There is now a second recall that does not have a resolution. NHTSA needs to enforce a timeline or litigate a resolution to this matter. Please feel free to call or email me should you have any additional questions, [XXX] or [XXX] . Sincerely, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

While driving down the road the service power steering and service ABS notifications appeared on the instrument cluster and the power steering stopped working. It felt as though the wheels turn when this happened and the steering wheel wouldn’t move. This caused a loss of control and the vehicle left the road coming to rest in the ditch. This resulted in severe damage to the front suspension, axles, steering linkage, and the bottom of the engine. The vehicle was not drivable and had to be towed.

On Sunday, Oct 1, 2023, I proceeded out of my driveway, when the warning lights came on and the steering failed, stranding me on the busy roadway. I was able to back onto my property again and fortunately the incident didn't result in a collision. The truck is at the dealership as I write this and I informed them that I want them to save all of the defective parts for me. The dealership's diagnosis is that the rack and pinion steering has failed at approx. 61,200 miles. The components have not been inspected, but will be available after the repair, as stated above.
