2022 RAM 1500 Complaints

I have had several occasions where I have been driving down the road and my engine has shut off. I took the truck to the dealership and they show error codes but can’t fix unless they can recreate the problem.

[XXX], While driving S on [XXX] , I felt a brief loss of power than a total engine shutdown. I was sandwiched between two semis but was able to locate a wide spot in the shoulder to signal and pull over, parking 9 feet off the fog line. The vehicle indicated a failure and would not restart. As it was a winter night, I was able to contact a relative to head our way and contacted AAA for a tow 5 miles to the nearest town, Chemult. My wife and I secured our vehicle in a safe place off the highway and were given a ride 72 miles to home. Ram Assist was unable to locate a tow company so I arranged and paid for the vehicle to be delivered to the nearest dealer in Klamath Falls, OR. After a week, the dealer confirmed a fuel system catastrophic shut down probably related to the high pressure fuel pump. Parts took 1.5 months to arrive and a repair was attempted March 29. April 1, I was informed the repair failed, the vehicle would not provide sufficient fuel pressure. New parts were ordered and attempted repairs continued to fail. As of May 8, 2024, the vehicle has not been successfully repaired. Replaced components are retained by the dealer at least until the repair is successful, then they will be sent to FCA. Vehicle started and ran well prior to the sudden failure. It was getting good mileage, was fueled with COSTCO diesel, and DEF tank was indicating full. I was advised of the HPFP recall and had requested the service in mid-December. Recall replacement parts were not available. Knowing of the recall, I had thought through what a failure would feel like so the correct action was taken immediately to get out of the way of the following Semi and coast to a safe distance off the highway lane. Thankfully, winter conditions had moderated so we kept warm enough (brand new winter coats purchased that day) and we were within cell coverage.

After driving in a snow storm twice in the same day and one time in the winter of 2023 I was unable to put my truck into park. Each of the three time it occurred the gear indicator would flash and a message appeared to set parking brake to prevent rolling. While this was occurring I could not turn the truck off or put it into park as it would only go into accessory mode and see the parking brake. I contacted my local deal who was able to look at the truck that day. They advised there was to much snow and ice built up around a knuckle on the transmission that didn’t allow the truck to go into park and on this particular day the dealership received 30 calls on this issue including the service departments shop Forman. I was told not to drive my 4x4 off road package truck in the snow and to park in a heated garage. I contacted Ram customer care who admitted it was a know issue and a design flaw. Ram customer service also advised to not drive in snow and to park in a heated garage. Living in WI that is not a feasible option. This put myself and others in danger as I was not able to physically put my 2022 Ram into park and could have injured myself or others as the truck would not go into park gear. There was no warning this was happening until I attempted to put truck into park. I do have a video I recorded as it was occurring that I can provide to you.

I was in the service lane waiting for an oil change for my 2022 RAM 1500. My car was in parking mode. A service tech plugged a "pod" or "OBD2" and asked me to drive the car with the pod plugged. As soon as I tried to pull out my lane the car acceleraterated even though I was not pressing on the gas pedal. I tried to hit the brake but car would not stop for few seconds until I hit the parked car in front of me.

When coming to a slow stop, the transmission has a clunky shift from 2nd to 1st gear.

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V263000 (Fuel System, Diesel) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was contacted and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and informed the contact that a second notice would be mailed when the remedy part was available. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

I stopped at a stop sign. When I began to accelerate, the engine stopped leaving me stranded in the middle of the road. Perpendicular to on coming traffic to my left. Luckily it was 530 in the morning and traffic was very light. I was able to get the truck restarted after about 30 seconds and continued to work. No check engine light or any warning lights came on at that time. When leaving work, the check engine light came on and i drove it straight to dealership because it is to dangerous to drive safely. This is the only time this has happened and the truck is in the shop and was told they cannot recreate the problem. There was no check engine lights prior to incident. This could have been deadly to me or any on coming traffic as they could have ran into the drivers side of my truck.

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 1500. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The message "Water in Fuel" was displayed and there was an abnormal sound coming from the fuel pump while driving. The contact stated that he had drained the fuel filter but could not find water intrusion in the fuel. Additionally, the contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that he was able to pull to the side of the road on some occasions. The contact stated that upon connecting a diagnostic tool to the vehicle and clearing the diagnostic test codes, the vehicle was able to restart. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring while driving. Additionally, the contact stated while driving 45-50 MPH, the vehicle started jerking significantly and stalled. The contact was able to pull to the side of the road. The vehicle failed to restart and was towed to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact stated that the dealer charged a fee for diagnostic testing, but the contact declined to pay the fee because the VIN was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V263000 (Fuel System, Diesel), which he related to the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 41,000.

My battery died and when I reset it all of the abs lights came on. Now I need a new abs control module

While driving at low speeds, truck shuts off and emergency brake is applied. This has happened when pulling out into traffic. The truck just turns off. I have to disengage the emergency brake and then the truck will restart. The only light that comes on is the emergency brake light. This has happened multiple times over past few weeks.
