Motor Generator Unit Failure
While driving my vehicle at approximately 15-20 mph it unexpectedly and without warning shut down and engaged the emergency brake bringing the vehicle from 20 to 0 immediately. The vehicle the stated ignition was not put in park. I restarted the vehicle and the e brake was engaged.
Had system update to correct previous recall issue for backing camera. Update completed, but changed display. Display is no longer showing critical applications and is consistent with NHTSA complaint 11638513.
On [XXX], shortly after [XXX], I was driving between 25–30 mph on a public road in California, my 2022 RAM 1500 with a 5.7L HEMI eTorque engine, stalled without warning. The vehicle automatically engaged the parking brake and shifted to park, causing an abrupt stop. A dashboard message appeared making me aware of the parking brake engagement. Another vehicle was closely following, creating a high risk of a rear-end collision. I have been driving as a Stuntwoman in films and television shows for over a decade and this genuinely scared me. I have never experienced anything like it in my life. The vehicle hesitated before restarting, and the check engine light (MIL) illuminated immediately. The battery light came on intermittently while driving home. The check engine light remains on as of May 11, 2025. Diagnostic codes read on May 11, 2025, show P1C64 (Stored, Pending, Permanent). The vehicle is available for inspection upon request, however, I will be bringing my truck back to the dealership that I purchased it from for repair. The sudden stalling and braking in traffic posed a significant safety risk, nearly resulting in a collision due to the inability to control the vehicle or warn other drivers. The problem has not yet been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center, as no repair attempts have been made and the car has not moved from my driveway. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others. Pri
Uncommanded engine shutoff while rolling out at slow speed into an intersection from a complete stop. The shifter automatically was placed in park and the parking brake was automatically engaged. I restarted the truck, disengaged the parking brake and drove away.
The power steering goes out driving down the road. I can hit a Crack in the road and the power steering goes out, it used to come back after turning off my truck for a min. That was over a month ago now it won't turn back on.
Vehicle flashed SOS call not available on the radio. Then noticed airbag light on. Immediately went to the dealership and was informed the sensor is out and therefore the airbags are not functional. The part was supposed to be ordered only to find out more than a week later that the part is unavailable. The vehicle is without airbags and without emergency call if the airbags were to deploy. Have escalated to Chrysler corporate for parts expedition however that has done nothing either. There is no estimated part replacement time. I found online where there is a superseding part however it only works supposedly on the 23 and 24 model years. They got the part in and said that it would work if they changed the airbag module. But I would have to pay for the module.
The engine stalls, shifts to park and applies the parking brake. Sometimes it is at a stop and others it is under 10mph. It has been happening over the las few months and our dealer can't seem to repair it.
My 2022 Dodge Ram 1500 back up cam is not working. Just a blue screen. As of last night, my bed tailgate will not open. It is an electric tailgate. Pushing on the lid while trying to open does nothing, as suggested by Reddit. There is no power to the electric latch.
The contact owns a 2022 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while his son was driving at 40 MPH, the steering wheel seized with no warning light illuminated. The vehicle slid off the road, crashed into several trees, and sideswiped a telephone pole when it came to a stop. There was no damage to the telephone pole. The air bag did deploy during the crash. No injuries were sustained, and no medical attention was provided. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the steering module had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure recurred when the steering wheel seized. The vehicle was taken back to the same independent mechanic, where it was confirmed that the failure was a manufacturer's defect with the steering rack. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the steering rack and the power steering module. The vehicle was repaired under warranty. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 20,0000.

Going thru neighborhood stop signs, stopped at the first one and when i tried to take off I noticed the gas pedal wasn't accelerating vehicle like normal/ felt like a transmission slipping issue, but it finally "hooked up" and surged forward 100 feet to next stop sign, and after i stopped I hit gas pedal again only to stall out and roll thru the intersection. Brakes were almost unresponsive, and rolled about 60 seconds until truck finally shifted into park on its own and applied emergency brake. After the truck got to a complete stop, it started back up and drove fine the final 2 minutes of the drive home. No warnings/ check engine lights/ malfunction messages were displayed, no obvious signs of issues. 1. The malfunctioning component would be the motor, as it stalled out for seemingly no reason. But issue could be incorrect supply (voltage/ fuel/ air/) so something like the (fuel pump/ alternator/ control modules) could be actual culprit why truck stalled out 2. The safety of me and my passengers was at risk because we stalled out in the middle of an intersection, had it been a stop sign on a road with flowing traffic moving above 25 mph, an accident would most certainly be a good possibility. 3. The problem hasn't been reproduced by dealer or mechanic. Research into this topic yields countless similar issues with similar year and models by Ram. 4. No, vehicle want inspected by anyone but myself. This occurred in a small neighborhood with little to no traffic and no accident
On more than five occasions, the engine shut off without warning and the emergency brake and battery light came on. All instances occurred when I was slowing down at a stop sign or attempting to turn. I have taken my truck to at least 3 differend dealerships regarding the issues. The Horne dealership in Show Low, AZ, connected a code reader and stated it could be the eco battery system and if I drove the truck more it would most likely recharge on its own. They further stated it was a low etorque battery system malfunction. No paperwork was initiated. The Jim Marsh dealership in Las Vegas, stated they knew what the probem was and it would be 10 days to get the part in to make the repair. They gave me a rental car under my Mopar warranty and sent me on my way as I was out of state. The next day they called me and stated it was fixed and put in a new standard battery (which I paid for) and not the etorque battery. One month later the same thing occurred. The engine shut off again without warning. I'm in the process of taking it back to my local dealership.
E torque system on this truck has had several problems Factory did replace it, but still has issues Before replacing the system, my truck shut down in the middle road several times very dangerous After replacing the system, I now get strange issues remote start stop won't work Had several situations with the truck, stopping and starting again
The Safety of my wife and two Sons was put at risk when the Brakes of the vehicle failed to respond, which put another driver at risk as well The problem has been confirmed by a professional investigator working directly for Chrysler stating that Due to a brake hose tear triggered by a bad factory design of the distribution of the hoses and harness on this specific vehicle model there were no warning lamps, messages our other symptoms at any time since the purchase of the vehicle
Twice while coasting at between 5 & 10 mph, the engine shuts down, a warning shows auto disabled, and applies emergency brake before one can even get the transmission into park. Our concern is that this sudden stop could cause us to be hit from behind. We brought it to a Ram dealership in Hartsville, SC and they could not reproduce problem and have no idea what caused it.
Towards the end of the summer of 2024 I received a recall notice #79B, rearview camera visibility. I brought my vehicle to Rockland CJD in Nanuet in September 2024, I was informed at that time that there was not a repair to correct the situation. I have since received another recall notice #97A also rearview camera visibility. I brought my vehicle to Rockland CJD today 04/10/2025 for service and to resolve the recall. I have been told that neither recall could be found through searching up the VIN. My vehicle is experiencing the problems described in the notice, blue screen or no display when shifted in reverse. I would like to be able to have this situation taken care of.
On two separate occasions the engine shut off at low speeds and the emergency brake engaged. On both occasions there was no warning of any kind. The car restarted and ran fine until shortly after the first two instances a "low voltage" light illuminated prompting me to research and learn that the shut off problem is well known. I took it to the dealer who confirmed the issue and assured me it was fixed with a software update. Two weeks after the "repair" I was driving at highway speeds and the "low voltage" light illuminated and the car shut off and the emergency brake engaged. After I managed to get off the road it would not restart. It was towed to the dealership who kept it for 2 1/2 months. This time they replaced the MGU. I picked it up and less than a week later the "check engine" light illuminated. I returned it to the dealership who confirmed it's the same issue. To date the manufacturer is unwilling to acknowledge the problem or help. I was informed today that it was "fixed" (this time "battery pack") but I'm afraid to drive it after my life was placed in danger after two "fixes". It has been in their possession for over 3 months and it would be illogical to believe they understand the root cause and that the issue is truly fixed. I will not drive it until I'm assured it is safe as I don't want to put myself or other lives in danger. They appear to be guessing at the cause and at best replacing parts with the same flawed parts into the same flawed design and are unwi
The contact owns a 2022 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving at 70 MPH, the driver’s side sun visor became inoperable. The contact stated that the sun visor inadvertently detached, and the contact had to forcefully reattach the sun visor. The dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 26,000.
We purchased this truck in 2022 brand new from the dealership. It has had electrical issues intermittently that has caused it to cycle through 3 batteries already. The truck will fail to start. The worst, most unsafe incident, happened when the truck completely shut down on the freeway. Every indicator light came on the dash and one by one the features of the truck started shutting down. First power steering. Then stability control. Followed by every feature that needs electricity until the truck shut off on the freeway and was unresponsive. We are finding online that people are having this issue with the Ram 1500 specifically equipped with the e-torque option (which is what we have). We have taken the truck into the dealership 3 times, each time they have simply said it was a battery issue and were unable to diagnose a bigger problem. At one point they had the vehicle for more than 30 days. This is my wife's vehicle. We have 3 kids. The safety of my family is at risk every time the vehicle doesn't start when we need it to and certainly when the truck shuts down in the middle of the freeway. It's dangerous. And we know it is not a "battery issue"
When giving the vehicle gas after a stop sign. The vehicle threw itself into emergency break and shut off in the middle of an intersection. Had to turn off the emergency brake and restart the vehicle. This has happened multiple times. The vehicle almost stalls consistently after coming out of a stop sign or making a slow right turn.
Wipers come on for now reason, no rain and not activated by driver. Interior screen goes black sometimes when backing up. After stopping for a traffic light then taking off, the transmission shifts to neutral. The only way to reengage the transmission is to come to a complete stop, put it in park and then back into drive. I have been to the dealer many times and they say unless it happens while in their care, there is nothing they can do. No codes come up. I gave them the day and time it last happened, thinking it must be stored in the computer and they would be able to track it down. Nope. This is a very dangerous problem. The truck also ran out of fuel when the gauge read 19 miles to go. I took it to the dealer and told them it must be a sensor, sender or gauge....says this is normal. Well that is not normal, if you ask me.
2022 ram with 26,000 miles and the fuel pump is failing, check engine light on with a small emissions system leak as well. Upholstery under the driver and rear passenger seat is detached with exposed zippers. Truck is falling apart before it even reaches 30,000 miles but because of the time frame, despite the low miles and mostly highway driving in a rural area, out of warranty
The contact owns a 2022 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power and the parking brake independently activated. The contact stated that the failure occurred while driving at a slow speed. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle rolled forward several feet with several unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was started, and the vehicle was driven to the intended destination. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer twice; however, the failure was not duplicated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The contact stated that the failure had occurred five times. Additionally, the contact stated that the failure occurred intermittently. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.
On March 12th, 2025, I was driving the truck on cruise control at 70 mph on the toll road with no shoulder. The truck rpm gauge went to zero as well as all other gauges. The truck went to shut down mode, I then put the truck in neutral it would not let me start it so I applied the brake to stop the truck, then put it in park.The emergency brake light was on so I had to release it and the truck restarted . Note this stall happened the middle of the highway, luckily , no one came up on me while the truck was stalled. We took it to 2 different Dodge dealers today and they both say there is not a stored fault code or active code, therefore there is nothing they can do to resolve this issue. This is very frightening as I do not know if or when this could happen again.
Was driving on interstate coming home from Texas when we encountered a winter storm that was producing freezing rain. We were running the defroster on high to stop the ice buildup that was occurring on the windshield when the air suddenly stopped blowing through the defroster vents and diverted to the floor vents. Our safety and others was compromised by the ice being able to build up and significantly reducing our visibility effectively causing us to have to stop on the offramps to de-ice the windshield. Against my better judgement I did not take vehicle to the dealer because other drivers of similar vehicles had reported that they have experienced similar results in similar conditions. There were no warning lamps or prior symptoms associated with this event.
I purchased the truck used five days ago from a dealership and today the engine shut off on me approximately 12 times. Most occurred while putting the truck into reverse or drive. I was exiting my driveway and the engine turned off halfway into the street. I was unable to move it and since I had to pick up my child, I left the truck halfway in my drive way and half on the street. When I returned home I was able to drive the truck, but approximately 7 minutes later it turned off on me when I turned into a shopping center. The last two times it turned off on me (all on the same day) it occurred while I was on the freeway driving approximately 70 mph. The engine just shut off so I pulled over to the side of the freeway. I was able to drive it shortly after, but then it occurred again. I was able to drive it home approximately 12 miles away without further incidents.
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Gauge cluster doesn't shut off, which kills the electrical system. This is likely due to a known issue from FCA as noted in Customer Satisfaction Notification 48A. FCA claims my truck is not affected even though it has the same Electronic Shifter Module, as well as is the same Model, Trim, Year... Just not the right VIN. The fix is a software update. They know the software in my truck is faulty, but won't update it in compliance with 48A. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Truck leaves me stranded if left not running for too long. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No, I can reproduce it myself reliably... I have an appointment with the Ram dealer on 3/14/25. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No. I purchased the Truck [XXX]... the issues started within a few weeks. It has killed the battery 3 times now. Here is the existing notice 48A... My truck SHOULD BE ON THIS LIST! PLEASE HELP!

More than once now the vehicle has applied its parking brake, the engine stalled, and stopped the vehicle in the middle of the road. It then required me to reset the emergency brake to “release”, return the shifter knob to park, and restart the vehicle in the middle of busy intersections!!
There is premature bearing ware on the E-Torque alternator. When taken into dealer was told not to drive the vehicle due to the fact the vehicle will eventually lose power and may be stranded. When taken in was not given a time line for when the part will be in. When looking on line noticed there is approximately 4200 parts on back order . Some individuals stating they have been waiting 3-4 months. While the vehicle sits in the drive way waiting for part still have to make payments and trying to find rides to work which is over an hour each way!!
When the vehicle is cold, after about a mile of driving coming to a four way stop, the vehicle stalled in the middle of a busy intersection and applied the emergency brake. An error message came up to service the electronic throttle control. A few miles later a message came regarding the battery saver and the battery light was lit. This came two days after being at the dealer for this issue where they found nothing! After doing a simple google search it appears to be a known issue.
Vehicle has shut off for no apparent reason when slowing and turning. This has occurred three times in the last year. This is very unsafe and I believe there are recalls for the same make/model vehicle built in prior years.
Vehicle stalled while driving. Causing sudden loss of engine power and related functions such as power steering. Cause was do to water intrusion from rear window leaking on to a control module RF Module. The leak is common in thousands of ram trucks over several years. They’ve attempted to address it for some years but not all. Having such an important piece of equipment under a window which they know is prone to leaking is irresponsible and negligent. Had I been at higher speed this could have been deadly.
This vehicle stalls while driving. • The engine shuts off without warning • The vehicle shifts into park and applies the emergency brake • The vehicle has a malfunction warning light with a battery fault symbol • The vehicle has a "low voltage condition fault"
On 2 separate occasions, I experienced a low speed stall when pulling out and turning at intersections. After the stall, the vehicle placed itself in park and activated the emergency brake. In both instances, the stall occurred after I had partially entered an intersection, representing a safety hazard. In both instances, the vehicle was able to be restarted quickly.
The contact owned a 2022 RAM 1500. The contact stated that after leaving the dealer from completing the recall remedy for an unknown recall related to the fuel pump and while driving at 20 MPH, half a mile from leaving the dealer, the vehicle started to smoke and an abnormal sound came from the vehicle as the front windshield cracked. The check engine warning light illuminated. The contact then tried to make a U-turn and return to the dealer. The vehicle suddenly stopped and shut off. Other drivers started to honk in an effort to alert the contact that there were flames coming from the vehicle. The contact then saw smoke coming out of the front part of the vehicle and exited the vehicle. The Fire Department was on scene and extinguished the fire. The origin of the fire was unknown. The fire took place at the intersection of [XXX] . The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The insurance company deemed the vehicle a total loss. The vehicle was consumed by the fire. The contact was the only occupant in the vehicle and sustained emotional distress that did not require medical attention. The failure mileage was approximately 20,970.

In October 2024, my 2022 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, which I purchased brand new from Lynch Ram in Wisconsin, suffered a catastrophic fuel system failure while I was driving. The fuel rail—previously under recall—cracked, spraying diesel fuel all over the engine bay and sending smoke and fumes through the cabin vents. While the truck didn’t catch fire, the situation posed a serious safety risk. I had to have it towed to Zeigler Ram in Downers Grove, Illinois, where they confirmed that the failure was due to the known recall issue. They replaced the part under warranty, despite previously stating that the necessary component had been unavailable for months. Fast forward to February 2025, and the exact same issue occurred again while I was on a road trip to Michigan. Once again, the fuel rail cracked, spraying fuel over the engine and sending fumes into the cabin. My truck was towed to Zeigler Ram in Grandville, Michigan, where it's now awaiting repairs. This means the replacement part only lasted four months before failing in the same dangerous manner. Serious Safety Concerns Fire Hazard: Diesel fuel being sprayed onto a hot engine creates a significant risk of ignition, which could lead to an engine fire while driving. Cabin Fumes Exposure: Diesel fumes entering the ventilation system can cause driver impairment, dizziness, nausea, and other health risks, especially on long drives. Repeat Failure in a Critical System: A fuel system defect that fails twice in four months raises concer

The complaints describe instances where the engine shuts off unexpectedly, often while the vehicle is moving at a slow speed. Sometimes, the vehicle shifts into park and applies the emergency brake automatically. Additionally, the vehicles sometimes cannot be restarted, and drivers have reported seeing a malfunction warning light with a battery fault symbol on the dashboard. This i found on the internet bud is only mentioned to happen with the v8 hemi etorgue and it is under investigation or something like that. Well, i got the 3.6 V6 engine also with etorque, and i got thid stalling issue 2 times a week now. I dont feel save because what if this happens at a railway crossing? It takes me like 5-10 seconds to put the car in P and taking off the electrical parkingbrake, push the starterbutton and putting the car in D! Please help me on this one.
Having a different electrical issues with this vehicle since I purchased it, of course the warranty has fallen off after just bringing it in for diagnosis for different reasons. Now it’s winter time and the truck will not start without a jump. I took it to get tested. Everything came back One thing that stood out at the auto parts store that the dealership could not find, kind of frustrating. The report reads no valid data available for ESM on CAN - C or CAND-PT with the codes U1267x2 and u1267-00 power training system. ABS- c2206-00 c2100-9a I’m hoping for help as now the truck is shortly out of warranty with miles now being 36400 miles. I also acknowledge that the car was cut out while driving at one point before all this happened. They couldn’t find anything so now I’m at a point where the truck doesn’t start without a jump I could probably take a video and show you right now. It’s probably dead. I went on vacation a week of Feb 8 out of town and I had to call my insurance company to give it a jump. There are other times the truck stall or cut off while driving. They drove the car and still couldn’t find the issues that I had and it’s starting to happen again.. so far Falls Dodge has been accommodating, but it’s very frustrating.

When driving home on a rainy day on an active interstate road, 66 west bound lane my truck turned off engine. I was in right hand lane so I was able to coast to side of road. Once stopped the truck automatically on its own went into park. I could start truck but when I put it in gear to drive would automatically go back into park giving warning message shifter autocorrect active. Truck was towed to closest Ram dealership. It was determined third brake light seal was leaking and water ran down to the RF hub module and fried it. From reviews online I saw this was a common issue but it don’t see where this is a recall to be addressed. Differently a safety issue when driving and truck turns off. Luckily I was in right lane to get off this active road. I have repair cost receipt if needed. I called my insurance company for the tow. Geico.
While slowing down to a stop, my engine would stall. The truck would go from Drive to Park, engages the Emergency Brake, and stalls out. There is still power to the truck. This has happened 4 occasion already and I have brought it into the dealership. The have updated software, changed camshaft and now waiting on "alternator" component. This is a safety issue that I'm very concerned about. Doesn't look like they know the exact problem.

What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
