2022 RAM 1500 Complaints

At a complete stop, truck shuts off and emergency brake gets engaged for no reason. This has happened approx. 8 times since I bought the truck brand new from dealer. Truck has 12, 800 miles to date. No major safety risk but stuck in traffic while trying to get truck moving. The problem has not been reproduced by dealer but doing research online, other people are complaining on the same issue. The Ram dealer (Nemer) in Wilton, NY has inspected under warranty. No warnings or messages appear when truck shuts off.

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving or while the vehicle was idling, the inner and outer parts of the windshield and windows became foggy, impairing the visibility of the driver. The contact stated that the windshield defroster was engaged but failed to clear the windows and the windshield.

While driving in town or on freeway, the engine shuts off and emergency braking system is engaged. No warning lights come on suggesting anything for a code. The dash only says to place truck in park, restart the truck and disengage the emergency parking system. This has been in the shop and they can not duplicate. Dodge is aware of what is transpiring. How is this safe and have not been recalled by dodge? I have children and grandchildren that are usually in the truck with me and this is NOT a safe vehicle to drive at this time!!! This has happened numerous times!!! What if an 18 wheeler is behind me and a fatality happens? I am an er travel nurse. There are plenty of others experiencing this and nothing has been done per the attorney I spoke with. My cell number is [XXX] should you need to contact me regarding this matter. Thank you in advance for taking care of this matter in a speedy manner. As I said prior, this could be fatal to a family due to the negligence of Dodge Ram. Sincerely, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

This truck has an intermittent problem that causes it to shut down and leaving me stranded in traffic. This shutdown has happened 8 times. It first happened on Jan-10. This is two weeks after I purchased the truck. Since then, there have been 4 attempts to fix it at dealerships. They were not been able to identifying the causes of these problems or fixing them. The Truck was out of service for 47 days while it was in for repairs. Both of these items exceed the limits of the Missouri Lemon Law. I will briefly review the nature of the problems. These 8 shut down events are not just a stalling problem. When the truck shuts down the yellow engine lights come on and the truck will not try to restart when I press the gas or restart button. In some cases, it automatically engaged the parking brake and I am not able to get the truck switch into park, neutral or reverse. Each time it took between 2 and 20 minutes to restart the truck, while I was stuck in traffic. 3 times I exited the vehicle, walked away, then locked and unlocked it. After that I was able to restart the truck. In 3 of the occurrences the red battery warning light came on. When this happens, I have about 30 min both batteries are drained and everything shuts down. Here is a summary of some of the history of these problems, Summary 1st Occurrence --- 1/10/23 (14 days after I purchased the truck). Occurrences --- 8 (7th was during a test drive at a RAM service center, on 4/25/2023). Times in shop --- 4 (at dealer service centers). Days in shop--- 47 (Out of service). Milage 1st time --- 410 (Odometer at first occurrence) Avr miles to occur --- 454Avr miles (shortest was 30, and two were over 1,000 miles) Avr time to occur --- 17Avr. Days Problem status --- not fixed. (the cause or causes have not been identified or fixed)

I'm afraid that the hpfp will fail while I am driving with my wife and newborn in the vehicle whike driving. It's terrifying to have to put them in danger and drive this vehicle, but I need a vehicle to get to work everyday.

It's been over a year that FCA has known of the potential dangers of a high pressure fuel pump that suddenly stops working and has not produced a remedy. This is unacceptable. Driving a vehicle knowing that it could, at any time, shut down in heavy traffic and become immobile is unacceptable. If FCA cannot come up with a timely (too late for "timely") replacement part, NHTSA should force them into other options for owners.

Two issues, both 12" radio/infotainment issues. 1) Radio will often, and without warning get, for lack of a better term, corrupted, the entire system freezes, no screen control and makes a loud static esc noise.. The only way to fix the issue is to power cycle the radio either by holding the power button and scan button down for 15 or so seconds, or turning off the truck and cycling the power to the radio by opening then closing and opening the door again.. Neither are easy to do when traveling at highways speeds. 2) Infotainment screen will turn off, loosing all controls to cabin features and controls. Radio still works, but no screen is available for controls. ( the screen on/off button DOES NOT turn or reset the screen when this happens) The only way to get the screen back on is to power cycle the truck--- turning off the truck, opening, closing and opening the door again. again, not an easy feat when at highway speeds.

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 local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

The engine has a mind of its own and decides not to do engine breaking even if the driver downshifts. I first noticed this at low mileage when slightly tapping on the breaks would sometimes cause engine breaking as long as I kept my foot off the accelerator. However if I down shifted for additional engine breaking on the same slope the engine would scream revving up to 6000 RPM without slowing the truck at all, NO ENGINE BREAKING! So last week this problem nearly cost my life. I was going down a mountain pass with my 4500 lb RV which is well within the advertised 7000 lb allowed towing capacity but if I let my foot off the gas, no breaking. This is normal and the driver just downshifts to introduce some breaking. So i down shifted from 5th and the engine responded with a self destructive scream reving up to 6000 RPM and yes NO ENGINE BREAKING. I did not think much of it after all I still have the breaks right? So feathered the breaks for about 10 minutes or so thinking nothing of it. Even tapping the break to tell the onboard computer I need engine breaking is not working even though it was working when minimal engine breaking was needed. Out of pure luck I decided to stop at a mountain spring to get some fresh spring water and that is when I notice wait a minute, this car is barely stopping!! I got out of the car just short of the end of the pullover spot and was greeted with the smell of burning break pads! THE FRONT BREAK PADS WERE SMOKING! What is sad is that the same RV on the same pass on my 20 year old 12 passenger van easily manages this when I down shift to second gear with some minor feathering of the breaks and never in 10 years had issue with the slightest heating of the break pads. BY DISABLING ENGINE BREAKING CHRYSLER HAS CREATED A SERIOUS INJURY HAZARD.
