2023 RAM 2500 Complaints

Soft close tailgate opened as I was backing up to hook up to my pontoon trailer. I had closed it prior to backing up. Because the tailgate was down, the rear camera did not correctly identify how close I was to the pontoon trailer hitch and the lowered tailgate struck the pontoon trailer hitch, damaging the tailgate.

My 2023 ram 2500 with 12,000 miles dose not always accelerate the way it should has been doing this once in awhile since new but has got more frequent. You can push the accelerator all the way down and truck does not take off. Makes it very dangerous when pulling out into traffic. Also the truck sometimes shifts super hard or wont shift at all. I'm dropping the truck off tonight to get checked out. There has been no warning lights yet. When I first called the dealer they told me it was a new truck and needs time to break in. Now its getting worse.

While driving I get a return for service and all my dash lights and rear view mirror goes blank with light flashing and aural warning. Have taken to dealer and they replace backup camera, simplest fix for them, then it did it again when I picked up and continues to do while driving home. I have not driven in over 4 months waiting on parts which Ram says are not available.

I was involved in an accident on May 3rd. 2024. As a result of this accident, I have filed an insurance claim. My brakes failed to stop the truck properly. I was pushing the brake pedal as hard as I could, and the brakes were not stopping the truck properly. It had minimal braking not enough to stop the truck. Almost like the ABS system failed and was not allowing the pressure I was applying to the brakes. I called the dealer to make an appointment this week. Waiting for a call back from service dept the truck is at my house and has not been driven. No warning lights on the dash. Truck has 19,800 miles on it.

Hvac system blows cold or hot air through defrost in any mode. Face , feet, no matter what. Makes it hard to see out windows.

This complaint is a update to my complaint number 11557659. My vehicle has exhibited frequent but intermittent problems with left turn signals and headlight high beams since new. The dealership has been unable to duplicate the problems until 12/13/23 when a service technician observed the headlight flash to pass function activating the left turn signals approximately 10 times. However, when I brought the vehicle to the same dealership two days later to have Recall B2A (Malfunctioning SCCM) performed, the inspection procedures to identify malfunctioning SCCMs contained in the Stellantis guidelines failed to identify my SCCM as malfunctioning. The dealership said they couldn't replace the SCCM because the Stellantis procedures indicated that it was not malfunctioning. This was in spite of the dealership's service technician observing the vehicle failing steps 20 and 21 in the formal test procedures several times two days prior (when the vehicle wasn't undergoing a formal Recall B2A procedure). The vehicle also has a 6-month history of exhibiting problems that exactly match a malfunctioning SCCM. Based on this incident, it's very likely that the Stellantis procedures for identifying malfunctioning SCCMs under Recall B2A is not capable of identifying intermittent malfunctions that are not occuring at the exact time the procedures are being performed. This will result in many, if not the majority, of vehicles with malfunctioning SCCMs not being identified by dealerships and not being repair as required by Recall B2A.

Turning on the left turn signal causes the headlights to switch from low beams to high beams. It doesn't happen every time. I've taken it to the dealership but it doesn't happen while it's there so they don't take me seriously and, in my opinion, don't thoroughly investigate the problem.

High beams engage when left turn signal is activated. Also, when flashing high beams by pulling the turn signal stalk forward, the left turn signal activates.

Randomly, when powering up the vehicle, the instrument cluster emits a very bright light on the left side only. This light cannot be dimmed or turned off with the lighting controls. As a result, driving at night is dangerous with a bright light stuck on directly in front the driver. Normal functionality is for a dim accent light to show on both sides of the dash (and is controllable via a dimmer). When the problem occurs, I'm forced to drive with less than ideal visibility. Please review attached photos.

Often times high beam lights will come on when left turn signal is applied. This can cause danger especially at night for on coming traffic if turning left.
