2022 RAM 1500 Complaints

On Saturday December 29th, while driving on a smaller regional highway I heard noise which seemed to be coming from the truck. As I looked into the rear view mirror I watched in horror the tonneau cover take flight and slam into the roadway behind me. Thankful, the cars noted to my right were not directly behind me, as it would have certainly caused a serious accident. I did circle back to locate the remains of the tonneau cover and still have it in my possession for evaluation. I contacted the dealer inquiring if there had been any recalls or safety issues or concerns regarding the tonneau cover that came with the 2022 custom build RAM truck. In that email I also who I should be in contact with to discuss the replacement of the cover and repairs to my truck for the failure of the cover. In my email to the dealership, I attached photos of the cover, damage and the odometer for documentation.To date yet to hear back from the dealer by phone or email I emailed the general sales manager at the dealership on Janurary 8th.

The engine shut off unexpectedly while stopped at a stop light. It shifted into park and applied the emergency brake automatically. It would not restart immediately and I saw a malfunction warning light with a battery fault symbol on the dashboard.

When accelerating from being stopped at a stop light the vehicle spontaneously shut off and the emergency brake engaged. I was able to restart the vehicle and disengage the brake and drive. Check engine light came on, the start / stop function is disabled and the remote start is disabled. Vehicle is giving engine code P1C64 with the check engine light one.

Jun 13, 2024 2022 Rebel GT FIRST INCIDENT: while making a right hand turn from a stop light, the truck lost acceleration, rolled for a few feet and locked up into ebrake engagement and: >low voltage warning>red battery symbol>clicking lights>complete shut off!! Gave me the follwing messages in the display "key not in vehicle, place in park to start, low volatge." When i finally got it restarted it didnt give me full acceleration power. it limped down the road until i could safely pull off the road. Continued to show low voltage. I limped it home and conitued to have low volatge issues. i took it to the dealer next day and they was unable to recreate or resolve the issue. They reset the battery but It happened again... Well today while at 75MPH on the freeway, attempting to pass a semi my 2022 Rebel GT 24k miles lost acceleration and shut off, same as the times before. >low voltage warning>red battery symbol>clicking lights>complete shut off!! I was ready for the whole truck to lock up right there on the freeway becuase it usually engages the ebrake! After a few seconds it re started itself!! while at 75mph!!! then the transmission slips like its going to lock up-im assuming because of the e-brake engagement it usually does and the fact that i was going 75mph?!! It then engaged to "normal operation" with a 13.1 voltage, so I sped back up and I got my as* to the dealership that was fortunately only 2 miles down the road trying not to panic. My service lady came out and hooked it up for codes, what did she find?.... "nothing but B233C00 which is a random code" she said. Which means (as we all should be l familiar with by now) that they cannot do anything without data. I noticed that there has been an investigation opened and I wanted to add to the complaints

The vehicle stalls while driving. I’ve had 6 occurrences all intermittent. The truck is in motion and at any speed. It happened in a roundabout, uphill at 45 mph, while doing a Detroit left, while coasting when approaching a stop light at 30 mph, while turning left into my neighborhood and on the highway with the cruise control on. When it happens I lose steering and power brakes. It terrifying. I’ve been to the dealer and they couldn’t replicate the issue. They are going to put a monitor on. I have read that it may be connected to a faulty electric motor in the drive system. It can happen at any speed in any conditions.

I was driving my Ram up to a red light and was slowing down to come to a stop. Upon my attempt to slow down to the approaching redlight the vehicle abruptly jerked and stopped, the vehicle pretty much felt like it jumped into park on its own. The battery light came on, the brake light came on and the auto start symbol came on with this symbol (A!) The engine felt like it was going to stall, however, it didnt. Then engine was sort of racing and slowing down a few times. The truck would not move and did not stall. With my foot on the brake I could not shift the vehicle into any gear. I hit the stop start button with my foot on the brake and the vehicle would not shut off, it kind of raced the engine a little bit. I attempted hitting the start stop button a sechond time with my foot on the brake, all dashboard lights went off and the truck went into normal driving mode. I was able to continue home that evening and the lights have not been on since. I contacted my dealer and made an appointment for them to check on the vehicle, apt is on Jan 3rd. It was a little bit alarming when this happened and if someone was behind me it may have caused them to run into the back of my vehicle. This took place on December 22nd. I continued to research this problem online and found an article associated to this problem and several reports to NHTSA about this issue. The article indicated I should report this issue, which I am doing. I also immediatley received a notification on my RAM app which I will supply. Thank you

I was making a left turn and the vehicle abruptly stopped blocking both lanes of an arterial highway. The emergency brake came on . The vehicle would not shift into neutral so I couldn’t move it off the road. The vehicle was towed in. Had this happened on the expressway or at higher speed both my family and I could have been badly hurt.

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the contact became aware of a puddle of fuel on the ground underneath the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with the fuel pump failure. The contact was informed that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. In addition, the contact was informed that the previous dealer who had performed an unknown recall repair, in which the fuel pump was replaced, had stripped the screws attached to the fuel pump. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The contact stated that the manufacturer confirmed that the recall repair was performed on 08/23/2024. The failure mileage was approximately 23,700.

Vehicle stopped at stop light when start/stop system activated. When acceleration attempted, turning right, vehicle stalled, activated the parking brake and displayed a battery warning. Restarted vehicle and showed a low voltage condition for the battery. Pulled over and turned off the truck and restarted which cleared the issue and voltage returned to normal. This is the third stall over 66k miles, the first with a new battery, which doesn’t seem to be the problem.

the truck was at a stoplight and the auto start/stop system shuts off the engine to conserve fuel. The engine will not turn back on. the truck autoshift corrects the transmission to park. The shifter then can not be used. the truck has to be restarted. The restart can happen on the first try or the third. After the restart the engine is running rough and bucking and the acceleration is not consistent for a about 5 minutes. This problem has happened on at least 5 different occasions. the first in April 2022 with 4410 miles, 2nd March of 2023 with 22085, 3rd November 2023. After each of the first three incidents the truck was brought to the dealer and they were unable to replicate the problem. No error codes registered even thought a got a powertrain alert in the app that I pay for. The fourth time was sometime in the spring of 2024 and the last one was Dec 13th 2024. The truck has not been brought to the dealer after the last two problems. What is the sense when they can't find anything wrong.
