2018 RAM 1500 Complaints

The 8.4" UConnect Screen has a bubble along the whole top of the screen due to delamination. This causes the stations to randomly jump from station to station and if you make a phone call with the connected phone, after you hang up, it will start calling random people. You can disconnect the battery and leave it disconnected for a few minutes, but it starts back within a day. Upon Google search, there are multiple issues with this same problem with this screen along all lines of Dodge and Chrysler products.

The radio/camera screen is delaminating causing a bubble on the top of the screen. The bubble is causing the touch screen to randomly activate to different systems without being touched. If the rear view camara is activated when backing up it turns off and on causing a dangerous situation. The screen also constantly switches to different systems while operating the vehicle causing a major distraction.

I took my truck to the dealer Early 2022 for the recall. they couldn't help due to the shortage on the parts. I kept going every month because my truck was stalling. they kept telling me to leave them my email address and they will contact me when they get the parts for the recall. on August 30. I was driving on the freeway. I lost power. my truck couldn't go over 30 then declined to 25 then to 20mph. My truck start heating up really fast. I pulled a side and tow it to the dealer. Dealer stated that my crankshaft was cracked. I truly believe it cracked due to the recall. My high Presure fuel pump was defective and it cause my truck to overheat and crack the engine. I need Help. I ordered another engine which cost me $13,000.00 without the Instulation, now I have to wait till the dealer get an engine and they will charge me the instulation on top it which it will probably end up costing me near to $20,000 This happen all because of Dodge defective part from the recall

I was in an accident, I hit a bale of hay doing 65 mph that a local farmer lost off the back of his feed truck. My air bags DID NOT deploy. I never had any warning lights on my dash warning me to service air bags. Thankfully I wasn’t severely injured and walked away with no more then a sore and bruised body and shaken up nerves.

Hello. We have a RAM 1500 serial # 1C6RR7MT1JS204636 , the UConnect radio screen is doing some delamination about 1/3 of the screen from top. At 1st no big deal but since about 2 weeks it changes radio station by itself and for the past 3 days it keeps calling people non stop , I almost rear ended someone today trying to stop the calls . I know my truck is not under warranty anymore but I feel there's a big safety issue for me and my wife right now. This radio is a tool for us ( GPS is the most important feature on it ) . We got very scared my wife and I today. Don't know if I'm the only one having this problem but we'll really appreciate if FCA can take care of us.

The dash command center for the vehicle failed and has become delaminated and cannot be programmed for any functions such as hands free, defrosting, heating, clock, navigation, voice command or any other related necessary safety features. The windshield sweats and frosts over on the inside at temperatures below freezing with no way to defrost without command controls. The vehicle was taken to the dealership and the problem documented but nothing was offered other than replace command center at owners expense. There were no warnings of anything going wrong.

Have read other complaints of similar problems. The problem started with our 2018 Dodge Ram 1500 several weeks ago with the navigation system changing screens to points of interest, then yesterday everything messed up. Upon starting the truck the touch screen seems to work fine for about five minutes, then it starts jumping around from one screen to another. It randomly tries to route a destination, the radio changes stations, tries to call phone numbers, and the climate controls jump all over the place. No heat, no air, and most alarming is that the defroster does not work. The problem persists while sitting still and driving. There may be other problems, but the touch screen does not respond. All this is very distracting and dangerous.

The engine seized, lost power and braking control while traveling on the freeway at approximately 70 mph during morning rush hour traffic. I had to merge into the ditch and ride it to a stop to avoid collisions on a busy freeway. Immediately called a tow truck to tow the vehicle to the dodge dealership closest to me to assess the problem. During the assessment the mechanic noted a seized motor due to the timing chain skiping and adjusting when the valve opens and closes, thus sending a valve through a piston and destoying the engine. Dodge has known about this issue with the 3.0 ecodiesel and all that they suggest is to sell it and buy a different truck. There are plenty of testimonials found if searched for, some that did not have as safe of an ending as i. The only warning light that was displayed was the 'check engine' light for the recall of the high pressure fuel pump. Thus truck has been scheduled for moths to have the recall replaced. The part is not available, I was ensured it was safe to drive until the part was available. I even called crystler ram to request the part, and they stated this part is not available at the time.

When I start and operate the vehicle, the radio display prompts me with a question, "Do you want to adjust the clock? YES NO". Then it disappears. Then it reappears. I cannot select an option, and I cannot reset the radio to solve the problem (instructions from RAM). It is a serious driving distraction - It happens whether the vehicle is parked or moving. When I press the button to turn off the display to escape the distraction nothing happens. When I research this issue online I see how common the problem is. RAM directs owners to replace the entire radio at a cost of thousands of dollars but the radios are back-ordered due to the number of radios affected.

The contact owns a 2018 Ram 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel) however, the part to do the recall repair was not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact then stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. Additionally, the contact stated that on multiple occasions while attempting to start the vehicle, the engine failed to turn over. The contact stated that a message appeared indicating an electronic fuel pressure failure. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the EGR cooler, EGR valve, and exhaust manifold needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and offered to cover half of the cost, but the contact declined. The failure mileage was approximately 77,000.
