2020 RAM 1500 Complaints

Dash will occasionally flash stop/start unavailable. Second incident yesterday happened while at a red light. Start/stop went unavailable and vehicle stalled and applied parking brake. Both incidents were while stop/start had been on and after releasing the brake. I see there is an open recall for this on the 2021 models. My vehicles build date is June 2020 seems and fall under the timeline for the 21 models but no recall for my vehicle

Exhaust Manifolds have cracked twice on the right and once on the left side in the first 45K miles of the vehicles life. Both times replaced under warranty, there appears to be a design defect here that should be resolved. Leaking exhaust manifold in California will violate CARB emission standards.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 75 MPH, the front driver’s side sun visor detached from the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the front driver’s side sun visor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, in July 2023, the passenger’s side sun visor detached. The contact called the local dealer and made them aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 12,183.

The plastic clip that holds the sun visor into the roof has broken after 32,000 miles of driving, when the plastic has failed he visor can fall out of position and into the field of view, the visor can no longer be stored in its correct position, it also needs to be held while driving so that it does not obstruct ones vision.

While making a right turn from a stop, I lost all steering almost running into the car adjacent.

Right passenger visor fell off completely from the wire in the ceiling. Left driver side visor loose and is dangling from the wire from the ceiling. They are in place hooked on to the snap on part. Neither one can be used.

Both exhaust manifolds cracked creating an exhaust allowing exhaust gases/fumes into the vehicles cabin causing an obvious safety issue. No warnings lights of any sort, the components were inspected by the dealership and confirmed that they were cracked. This is a recurring problem as a quick search about ram exhaust manifolds will provide a never ending list of stories and the dealer themselves stated they are constantly replacing cracked exhaust manifolds everyday and the parts are hard to get due to the issue being so common.

I am having issues with water coming in on the driver side. Every time it rains it drips right where my break pedal is and makes is really slippery and completely floods the floor where the driver seat is. This is a safety issue if I am trying to break and the break is so slippery because water is constantly on the break pedal.

The plastic stem that holds the driver side visor in place broke and the visor dropped obstructing driver visibility from the front windshield.

Rear backup camera works intermittently, can work or stop working at anytime. Difficult to hook up to a camper or back into a parking space, very dangerous when needed.
