2020 RAM 1500 Complaints

I was driving my car west on Sunnyside Ave just before Se 132nd ave at approximately 40 MPH. My truck then abruptly turned off and I lost all power. I coasted safely into the left turn lane and kept the brake on. The truck was completely unresponsive to restarting and there was no function of the start button. There was power in the battery but the engine and dash computer were non functioning. The truck needed to be towed to the dealership where it is located currently at Ron Tonkin Dodge/ram/keep service center at 16800 SE McLoughlin Blvd, Milwaukie, OR 97267. Currently no diagnosis as of 1136 on Friday January 20th.

Water Leaking from rear window which will affect electronics and airbags. found cracks to window frame and wet interior. Contacted Ram 800 number and open case which was denied told would have to pay for myself. manufacture knows about faulty window's and continue to install which they want $1300.00. Buying a $60k truck you would think ram would step up and start fixing these. Just noticed after last rain.

Rear Window had cracked frame due to defect allowed water to enter vehicle during storms running down and blocking vision out back window vision. The water would freeze since defroster malfunctioned from water intrusion hampering visibility. Additionally, resulting water damage to interior and possibly electrical / airbags in ceiling next to frame exposed to water intrusion. Dealer indicated this is consistent problem with all Ram 2020 pickup trucks and older.

My 2020 Dodge Ram 1500 has water intrusion due to a manufacturer defect in the back window area. There are 2 cracks on either side of the window and and water pours in soaking the carpet and back seats. The water has also effected the back curtain airbags.

I was making a right turn after being stopped at a light and made it approximately 100 feet before the vehicle just shut off. I was able to steer to the side of the street, stop, and restart the vehicle. I didn’t hear or see anything abnormal but it all happened so far. The dealer is looking at it now (in the next 5-7 days). This is a real safety concern.

While filling up with gas the gas pump will cut off after pumping a small amount. I reposition the pump into the neck of the gas tank and try to pump more gas. The same problem occurs. You can only pump 25 to 50 cents of gas at a time. I called the dealer today after researching on line to see if there was a recall. They told me to bring it in, they would get to it in a few weeks. I researched to find there is not a recall on my truck for this problem but other 1500. My truck is having the same issue. I will update this case once its diagnosed by the dealer.

Tailgate sensor indicates that tailgate is open, when it is closed. This happens repeatedly, even after dealer repairs or adjustments. Bed-lighting remains on during this period.

After driving in a few inches of wet snow for about 20 minutes enough snow built up around the transmission that when I went to shift it into park it failed to do so. The dash displayed that there was an error with the transmission and it was unable to determine what gear I was in. The truck was not able to fully turn off and was stuck in accessory mode as a result. After changing gears multiple times with no luck I was finally able to shift it to drive and get moving again. I then proceeded to get it scheduled by the local dealership in my area to see if they could figure out what the problem was. after inspecting it they informed me that there was snow buildup on my transmission that caused the park/neutral switch to get stuck/not work. They removed the snow and said that everything was operating normally, but informed me that it was a self-inflicted issue and not a fault of the design or manufacturer. The issue has been temporally resolved by removing the snow, but there seemed to be no permeant fix for the issue.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH, the engine seized. The contact stated the message “Parking Brake not Engage” and the Push to Start warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to park on the side of the road and fully turn off the vehicle. The contact stated after waiting for a while, the vehicle was restarted but was unable to be turned off. The contact stated the vehicle continued to experience the vehicle. The vehicle was not drivable. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

5.7 V8 right rear exhaust manifold leaks exhaust gases due to broken manifold bolts. Weight of the exhaust header appears to fracture the header bolts causing the leak. Seems to be a common issue for the vehicle.
