2022 Ram 1500 complaints

Have nicks on all 4 door latches on vehicle. Took vehicle to Bettenhausen Chrysler in Tinley Park, where I purchased, and they turned me over to corporate. After 3 months of no answer from corporate case closed and Chrysler not paying for repairs. I have checked with dealers In Illinois, Missouri, and Colorado. They all had multiple vehicles with same problem. After numerous attempts to contact anyone at dealership finnaly got a call from Mr Bettenhausen. Mr Bettenhausen stated he had same damage on his personal vehicle and door latches were faulty and ended conversation with me. Vehicle has not been inspected by anyone other then Bettenhausen Chrysler dodge. I feel if door latches are faulty it puts me and anyone else who is on roads as well.

Defrost on high and the visibility is extremely poor and dangerous while driving because if foggy. The ventilation system is very poor and have reported it already to the dealership.

300 FCA case [XXX] - FCA Replacement / Repurchase - [XXX] [XXX] RAM 1500 CREW CAB 2022 Please be advised this vehicle was lemon lawed and replaced on 11/27/24. FCA reclaimed possession of this vehicle at that time. Per Statutes for WI. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The vehicle is equipped with an Auto Start/stop that turns the vehicle off when in the Drive position if the vehicle is sitting still for a period of time. This kicks on at every stoplight and every time the vehicle is sitting still with my foot on the break for longer than about 10 seconds. The vehicle will turn off but will not restart. It will try until the battery is drained to the point the low battery indicator comes on. In the instance that the vehicle does start it chugs along for 15-20 feet and then dies again. This has pushed me into the middle of intersections and then died. It has done it to me while making a left hand turn which puts me directly into oncoming traffic. It has done this while emergency vehicles are behind me and prevents me from getting out of the way. It has done it to me while merging onto the highway. I have had the vehicle in the shop 4 times in the last month and a half and even after the issue is “corrected” it malfunctions again. The Star Engineers from Chrysler have had the vehicle under diagnostics for over a month and still can’t pinpoint the problem. The dealership has informed me the issue is not fixable, and Ram has told me that they are not taking ownership of the problem and that I should be patient for it to be fixed. We will now be escalating this to a legal issue. I’d like it noted that I have multiple videos of the vehicle malfunctioning and how it locks the truck up.

On the morning of 10/31/2023 I was on my way to work. I had the cruise set at 75 MPH, and I heard what sounded like an explosion/ loud bang. The truck immediately veered off to the left, hit a drainage culvert, and went airborne. With the front tire folded in, no steering was available to use. Upon inspection, while at the tow yard, the lower control arm snapped in half, as well as the CV joint (half shaft), so this was obviously the cause of the loud explosion/ bang sound that I heard. This lower control arm is made of aluminum, not steel. I could have been killed if I would have hit the culvert more square, as the truck missed the steel barrier cable posts by only a few feet, which was evident upon re-visiting the accident site two days later... the truck narrowly avoided being impaled by the barrier posts. It us unknown weather the police or insurance company inspected the vehicle when the body shop performed the repair assessment. There was no warning, just a catastrophic failure of the lower control arm.

Both Exhaust Manifolds are cracked and out of warranty. Multiple local ram owners have had the same problem. The large safety concern and is the fumes make its way into the cab with potential CO causing harm to passengers. Replacement Manifolds appear to be on long backorder!!

While driving on the freeway at speeds of approximately 65-70 mph, the vehicle unexpectedly locked the steering wheel, depriving the driver of the ability to maneuver or control the vehicle safely. It required significant effort for the driver to manually turn the wheel enough to guide the truck to the side of the freeway. This was an extremely dangerous situation, as we no longer had full control of the truck while at highway speeds. Had this occurred during a turn, the truck would have continued in a straight line, crossing into oncoming traffic. Concurrently, all lights on the dashboard began flashing while random error messages sequenced through the display, all without an apparent cause. After maneuvering the truck to the side of the road, we turned off the engine. However, all the lights on the dashboard continued flashing. I called to arrange for a tow truck just as a police officer arrived who provided us with assistance. We were able to restart the truck only after the battery was fully discharged, and we jump-started the truck with the officer's vehicle. Once operational again, the dashboard and screen displayed normally. After taking my truck to the local dealership for analysis, I was told that no cause for this potentially deadly malfunction could be found. I feel that the company has no interest in resolving the issue. In addition to this experience on the freeway, another issue which may be related is associated with the auto start-stop feature of the vehicle.

Vehicle engine stalls at stop and start condition. This has occurred several times without warning. When this happens the emergency brake comes on and the dash warning lights come on. The vehicle ignition must then be turned completely off and wait for ten seconds before restarting which clears the issue. The emergency brake must be released also. Taken to two different Dodge Ram dealers who could not diagnose and correct the issue. Both dealers reported that they could not see any error codes in the computer. This vehicle is not safe to drive, the stalling has occurred when taking off from a stop condition and stalling in an intersection. I am afraid to drive this vehicle. I have had this issue since almost new, 2022. It now has 55k miles. I paid $75K for this vehicle and am scared to drive it. I have contacted Ram Customer Service and they offer no support other than take the vehicle to another dealer. Please issue a recall, someone is going to get hurt with these vehicles.

While coming to a stop less than a half mile from my house the engine died. I had remote started the engine before leaving for work, so the engine had run for a few minutes before leaving my house. I was able to start the truck and continue driving. A few miles later I got a battery warning so at my next stop, I shut the truck off and opened and closed the driver's door. The truck restarted and everything was running normal.

Multiple lights going off all at once, including ABS, four-wheel-drive, towing, Lane assist, collision, etc. I have had this vehicle to the local dealer for this same complaint, and nothing was found, condition resolved itself. It has returned just a few months later. During this episode, the speedometer and tachometer do not work, nor do turn signals.

Auto engine accelerated while, pushing on break

This Ram 1500 is a known problem all over the internet for randomly stalling. This truck stall for no reason. This is a safety issue and RAM refuses to recall the vehicle or buy it back. You could be driving 20mph or 65 mph and it could stall. Then the car need to be stopped and put in park in order to restart it. I refuse to subject me or my family to this safety hazard driving on the road

Vehicle shut down while driving slowly after a stop sign. Occurred on first trip of the morning, cooler weather, at a slow speed within neighborhood. After stopping at a stop sign, and pressing the gas pedal, the vehicle shut down. I had to steer it (power steering off at this point) to the right and barely was out of the intersection. It went into park, emergency brake engaged itself. It took several minutes to get the vehicle operational again after following the on-dash instructions to disengage the emergency brake and start the vehicle. It started after 1 failed start attempt. The 2nd attempt is what allowed me to get the vehicle operational again. Whole situation might had been around 2 minutes. 2022 RAM Limited e-torque, 22,596 miles

Unknown to me what the issue is but here is my best assessment of the incidents that have occurred. While driving today, the vehicle suddenly stopped accelerating as if I had suddenly put the truck into park, but I was still on drive. The vehicle screen indicated to me that I had to press the brakes and press the push start to start the vehicle again, but I never turned the vehicle off on my own in the first place. I was stopped in the middle of the lane and had to put my hazards on to try and figure out what was happening. I switched the gear into park and pressed my brakes to press the push start to start the truck back up again and everything was fine. There was another incident with this vehicle that happened probably close to a year ago where I was driving on the freeway and suddenly the vehicle would no longer accelerate and started to slowly decrease in speed and thankfully, I was able to move over 3 lanes and stop the vehicle on the shoulder. I turned off the engine and push started the car again and everything was fine. Both times, I could have easily been hit by another vehicle. There were no warnings beforehand when either of these incidents happened and the truck has never been inspected for these issues.

At random times the truck when coming to a stop under 10 mph will stall and shut itself off and engage the emergency brake. It shifts itself into park and to start again you have to push on brake, release emergency brake, press ignition switch and put car back into drive. This happens sometimes multiple times a day or once every couple days, whenever it happens we nearly get rear ended because it stops the truck so suddenly. The truck also has engaged the emergency brake at 60 mph, jolted the vehicle and we had to coast to the side of the road. At this time it did not stop the truck instantly and thank God no one was right behind us. We have taken it in twice already to get it fixed and we were told they couldn’t replicate the problem along with they updated the computer so we wouldn’t have any further problems yet we still are. This truck is going to get either us hurt or someone else hurt and it’s the only vehicle we have to use! I’ve seen several other complaints online and whole heartedly believe this truck is a lemon with a big safety concern of creating an accident due to the sudden stall and shutdown of the truck at random times.

Both RAM and dealership, after multple attempts, continue to give the same excuse that they don't have parts available. I have asked for a forecast of when this will become available and they have indicated they cannot at this time.

While driving down a straight road going approximately 20 mph my truck pulled me hard to the left and I was unable to control it. The assembly for my front left wheel completely came apart, and my truck was stranded in the middle of the road, without me being able to move it forward or backwards. The dealer stated that the ball joints to the upper and lower control arms both popped out at the same time. The dealer stated that they were unsure why this happened, and that there was no damage or wear to the ball joints. Upon doing my own research, I was able to find an online thread with many other consumers who had the same exact problem as me. Many people stated that it is an issue with the stock upper and lower control arms, and that because of how the truck sits, it puts the ball joints at their limits Increasing the chances of them popping out. Now, my truck is sitting at the dealership with no estimated time of repair due to them being unable to get any parts. My fear is that my safety would have been impacted if this happened at a higher rate of speed on a busier road, such as a highway. There were no warnings or indications that anything was wrong with my truck, and it was driving completely normal up until the incident. I also fear of this happening again since they are replacing the damage parts with stock parts, as well as me being unsure, if this will happen to the other side of my vehicle as well.

Engine stalls and shuts off at speeds between 50-60mph and requires you to shift to neutral or park to restart. No check engine light or any other sort of warning light is on after restarting the vehicle. Happened four times in a two mile stretch after having been driven to, and around town approximately 20 miles.

HVAC problem when Defrosting windshield. When selected 100% Defrost. 85% airflow to feet and 15% to windshield. This does not clear the windshield creating a dangerous situation. I have even had the Defrost during heavy rain, it blows humid air onto my windshield fogging the windshield, then the a/c kicks in and dries the windshield and then the a/c shuts off and the windshield gets all fogged back up again. It keeps doing this in a cycle. I just picked up my truck from the dealer, they say it’s normal. It is NOT normal to not be able to see clearly out your windshield.

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 50-60MPH, he veered or turned the steering wheel to the left or right, and the steering wheel became stiff. The contact stated that he had to apply pressure to the steering wheel however, the steering wheel failed to retract back to the center and made it difficult to maneuver the vehicle. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified by the dealer of the failure and the contact was informed that a case would be opened but no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 8,000.

In September of this year (2023), while driving, the engine stalled. Information on the Driver Information Center said to put foot on brake and press "start" to start engine. Note that I was rolling along at about 30 mph in heavy bumper-to-bumper traffic in a middle lane of a multi-lane interstate during rush hour while towing a trailer at the time. I was completely blocked in by traffic, and there was no way to safely pull over to the shoulder. I tried lightly stepping on the brake and pressing start to see if it would restart while moving. This didn't work. I shifted to neutral and tried again. The engine still would not start. Eventually the truck slowed to a few miles per hour when the emergency brake came on, bringing the truck and trailer to an abrupt stop in the middle of heavy interstate traffic. Once stopped, I was able to shift to Park, step on the brake and press Start. The engine started. I was then able to shift to Drive, release the parking brake, and accelerate. After the restart, everything worked normally and I continued my trip from Chicago to North Carolina without incident. This is the second time this has happened. This exact same scenario also happened in the spring of this year (2023). I was not towing a trailer at that time.

The HPFP on my 2022 RAM Rebel Eco Diesel is a potential failure my dealer is aware but no fix has been available. I ask each time I am at the dealership and told no resolution has been provided. This is going on a year.

While pulling out of a stop light, my 2022 Ram 1500 stalled, and the parking brake engaged while I was in the middle of the intersection. After getting the truck restarted and safely getting through the intersection, the battery indicator warning light came on and the voltage gage dropped dramatically. When I took the truck to the dealer I was told they could not replicate therefore it was in safe operating condition. My truck is one year old with only 7400 miles. Also the dealer disputes the active recall on my truck.

After stopping at a stop sign. Started to go through and my engine shut off . I had to release the emergency brake for some reason to get the engine started. It also happened 2 other times while turning left or right. If someone were close to me they wouldn’t have had the time to stop. It was a dangerous situation. Thank you

AFTER COMING TO A STOP, OR NEAR STOP, THEN TRYING TO GO AGAIN, VEHICLE HAS SHUT ITSELF OFF AND ENGAGED PARKING BRAKE 3 TIMES NOW IN LAST MONTH. YOU HAVE TO THEN PUT IN PARK DISENGAGE PARKING BRAKE RESTART AND HOPE YOU CAN GO, SOMETIMES TAKES 2 OR 3 TRIES. I SEE THIS COMPLAINT EVERYWHERE ON FORUMS. THIS IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED AS THEY TRY TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC! DEALERS SAY THEY CAN'T REPLICATE ISSUE, AND DO NOTHING.

I purchased this vehicle on May 4, 2023. On 8/5/23, the vehicle did an over the air software upgrade to T25.48. After it did the upgrade a few of my safety features were erased/eliminated. The side cameras stop working. I brought the truck to Stewart Dodge Dealership in Colma Ca. on 8/7/23 so they can reflash the system. The mechanic said that my truck wouldn’t accept the reflash. It appears my system got corrupted from the software upgrade. After the reflash, my hands free text messages thru the radio stopped working. The mechanic told me that there is a TSB case # S238A000041 about a potential problem after doing this software upgrade. Since then, a Dodge Customer Service representative contacted me, Beth J. and told me that I have a Star case # now. My Star Case # is [XXXXXX] In my opinion, this software upgrade made my truck a safety hazard to me and the public. Stewart Dodge Dealership is saying I have to wait for any repairs since a software enhancement is expected in the 4th quarter 2023. They will not change the radio or throw parts at it.

The fuel system issue at RAM has been known for months and still there is no "fix". I have been trying to trade my vehicle since summer (2023) and I am completely stuck because of the issue. Dealers will not take it because they cannot resell it. The value it at auction price which has devalued my vehicle from the ~$81K sticker price to now they say I can buy a new vehicle (same) for ~$69k. They have literally stuck me in the corner without having remedy. Are they even working on it? The OEM's seemingly reluctance to act, in // with accelerating the devaluation of my vehicle, feels like a class action lawsuit waiting to happen. Can NHTSA apply some pressure here on behalf of consumers everywhere? Also sorry but the email links in your website do not work so this was the only way I could find to get a message through. So sorry and thanks.

I am having issues with the Uconnnect radio screen freezing and a loud buzzing coming from the speakers for 10-15 seconds until the radio reboots itself. This issue has occurred on vehicle start, putting vehicle into drive/reverse and while driving down the road. If in reverse the backup camera will also freeze. Both the rear camera freezing and loud buzzing can cause driver distraction. While backing up having the camera freeze is a big safety issue as children could be right behind you outside of rear view mirror view and when the freeze of the camera happens while backing up could cause driver to hit person/objects. Vehicle goes to shop soon to be diagnosed. No error messages are displayed while or after the screen freezes/reboots. I have video of this issue.

After coming to a full stop at a stop sign. I proceeded to hit the gas to enter the intersection. The vehicle left the stop sign fine but when I got into the middle of the intersection, the vehicle died. Had to be put in park and restarted. This is the 2nd time this has happened to me. Seems it possibly cause an accident if there was ever traffic coming from the opposite direction. Vehicle only has 10k miles on it and no check engine light is on.

P275 / 65r 18 The passenger front tire had a side wall blow out that just about took me off the road. Luckily I regained control of my truck before getting in an accident. The service center closest to where I was located somehow patched the sidewalk which I don't think they are legally supposed to do. In addition, these tires have very little tread left after only 30,000 miles. I'm extremely disappointed with the fact that I have to buy new tires already and the fact that without any explanation from the service center about the possible cause of the sidewall blow out, they were reluctant to speculate.

The back up camera is not working, there is only a blue screen when I put my truck in reverse. The error message says camera system unavailable. Took it to the dealership to get it fixed and they had it for a week and did not give me a loaner I had to pay for a rental car out of pocket I am severely irritated with my local Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram service center they are not catering to me as a customer and it's really ridiculous because we're talking about a safety issue if I can't use my backup camera to hook up my trailer for work.

Engine stopped while driving down a mountain road. Dash said put your foot on brake and push start button. Car emergency brake engaged. No check engine lights or codes. Truck has stopped again about a month later same thing. Took to dealer on July 19th 2023 they couldn’t have it happen while they drove it. No codes. Aug. 25 th 2023 while going through an automatic car wash the same thing happened again same messages still no codes.

Driving on wet road, braking system acting strange. Slowed down, dashboard lit up, tried to get off freeway and ended up spinning into wall. Drove home 30 miles on back roads, then slowed down at intersection, dashboard lit up again, parking brake engaged, vehicle locked up, dash kept flashing, could not start vehicle or put in neutral. Dealer states there were multiple failed brake system alerts and had to reset module. Had to tow. Filed a case with FCA in June, have not had a call from case worker, been without a vehicle for almost 3 months because FCA has stated this vehicle may not be safe to drive and that I should not start collision work yet.

The system is supposed to alert then activate the brakes if a collision is going to occur. It is supposed to be a safety feature that’s adds an additional layer of safety to the vehicle which I paid more for. There seems to be no solution from Chrysler

While driving at a slow rate of speed, the engine turned off, the emergency brake engaged itself automatically, and the truck came to a sudden stop--very unexpectedly. There was a message that came on the screen telling me to put the truck in park to turn the vehicle on.

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the Forward Collision Avoidance sensor failed to function as designed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was taken to a second dealer, Byers Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram (465 S Hamilton Rd, Columbus, OH 43213) and the dealer was unable to retrieve a fault code. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 5,000.

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 1500. The contact stated that on two separate occasions while driving at various speeds, the vehicle lost motive power. The vehicle was steered into a parking lot, turned off, and restarted after several minutes. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer but was not yet diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 13,000.

After a cold start, I drove 0.5 miles to an intersection. The engine stalled, the vehicle applied the electric parking brake, and would not move. The dash indicated a shift to park was required. The shift was completed and the vehicle was restarted, but in an unsafe state. The hybrid starter/generator was not charging the battery, and service was required. I have had this truck to the dealer several times for this safety problem but they can't duplicate or fix it. I believe it is the same as 23V-265, but they have not included 2022 models.

I was driving down the road and my truck shutoff and coasted just enough for me to get out of the on coming traffic and then the emergency brake automatically turned on causing my truck to stop in the middle of the road and auto shift put it into park. Fortunately, I was able to get it started again and move out of the road. I very easy could have been killed.

I bought the truck December 2021 but my truck is 2022 ram 1500, couple month after bought it , when I'm drive the truck in the middle of intersection my truck turn off (stall ) next day i brought to dealer ship to inspect but they couldn't find anything wrong , and today Aug 5 2023 its happen again when I'm about to crossing the road the truck just stop (stall). And it's all recorded on my dash cam and I call the dealer and they said to bring my truck on Monday Aug 7 2023
