When driving at slow speed with the auto stop/start turned off the engine will shut off and have to reset to park before it can restart. This doesn’t happen often and the dealership says it can’t duplicate it and there is no malfunction code in the data storage.My fear is this could happen in traffic and cause an accident.

Failure of the power steering system. Almost impossible to turn at slow speeds.

Vehicle: 2024 Ram 1500 Big Horn – 3.6L V6 eTorque Approximate mileage: 41,400 miles I am submitting this complaint regarding multiple incidents involving unexpected engine RPM increases, abnormal acceleration, and delayed throttle response following activation of the Auto Start/Stop system. On two separate occasions, while accelerating, the engine RPMs unexpectedly increased to approximately 3,000–4,000 without a corresponding increase in vehicle speed. The truck felt as though the transmission was temporarily disengaged or in neutral. I had to release the accelerator to allow the RPMs to return to normal. On October 11, 2026, I experienced another concerning incident while stopped at a stop sign preparing to make a right turn. The Auto Start/Stop system had shut off the engine while I was holding the brake. When I released the brake pedal, the engine restarted immediately. However, when I lightly pressed and held the accelerator, the vehicle did not move, and the engine RPMs did not increase. It felt as though the vehicle was being held in place despite my foot being off the brake. After approximately 2–3 seconds, the vehicle began moving normally without me releasing or pressing the accelerator again. No dashboard warning lights or error messages appeared during these incidents. Approximately three days before the latest incident, I brought the vehicle to an authorized Ram dealership and reported the concerns. The dealership performed diagnostic checks and a road test but i

Problem : Noticed that after every IGNITION START / REMOTE START , the 12in infotainment screen freezes for few seconds and goes down entirely with a blip in the speakers. Issue gets resolved after few minutes with manually Turning ON the Screen. Reverse Camera cannot be selected while in reverse during this state. Video is attached for reference.

My mom was driving my 2024 Ram 1500 Limited equipped with eTorque and was coming to a stop. While decelerating, the vehicle suddenly and unexpectedly accelerated forward without her intentionally pressing the accelerator pedal. She immediately applied the brakes in an attempt to stop the vehicle, but I was unable to stop it before the vehicle struck a brick building. The collision caused damage to the front of my vehicle and substantial damage to the building’s brick exterior wall. The acceleration was unexpected and occurred while she was attempting to slow/stop the vehicle. I am concerned that an electronic throttle, powertrain, eTorque/48-volt system, braking, software, or other vehicle malfunction may have contributed to the incident. The exact cause has not yet been determined. I am requesting that this incident be documented and investigated as a potential vehicle safety defect.

I am reporting a catastrophic, cascading electrical and mechanical safety defect involving the central electronic network, hydraulic braking system, and the supplemental restraint system (SRS) on a 2024 Ram TRX.In the week leading up to the collision, the vehicle exhibited persistent electrical anomalies, specifically where the primary display screen/infotainment system would suddenly crash and go completely black while operating. On the day of the incident, while traveling at approximately 55 mph, I attempted to apply the brakes to avoid an obstacle. The brake pedal immediately went completely soft and "spongy," providing no adequate hydraulic pressure or braking force to slow the truck.Due to this sudden braking failure, the vehicle sustained a severe, high-velocity front-end collision. The driver was properly wearing their seat belt at the exact time of impact. Despite massive front-end structural deformation directly inside the vehicle's primary sensor zones, the steering wheel, knee, and side curtain airbags completely failed to deploy. Due to this non-deployment during a high-speed impact, the driver sustained head trauma and was knocked unconscious. The vehicle subsequently rolled over, coming to a final rest overturned on its right side. The vehicle’s event data recorder (EDR) data buffer was later overwritten during subsequent post-crash handling/ignition cycles before data could be locked.The prior display blackouts combined with a simultaneous loss of braking press

I am filing this complaint regarding my 2024 Ram 1500 and unresolved defects that I reported while the vehicle was still covered by the bumper-to-bumper warranty. My primary concern is the steering and handling. I reported multiple times that the steering wheel is crooked, the truck pulls to the left, and the vehicle does not drive or track correctly. These complaints began before the bumper-to-bumper warranty expired. I was told that the vehicle needed an alignment and four new tires. I followed those recommendations and paid for both, but the problem never went away. The issue has now become a serious safety concern. At highway speeds, the front end wobbles and shakes significantly. I am concerned about the safety and stability of the vehicle and believe the steering, suspension, or other front-end components need to be properly inspected and diagnosed. Stellantis and the dealership now appear to be relying on the fact that the bumper-to-bumper warranty has expired, even though I began reporting and attempting to repair this same problem while the warranty was still active. The truck has also had issues with the sunroof/headliner, Uconnect system, and driver-side window button, but my main concern is the unresolved steering and front-end problem. I am requesting that Stellantis fully diagnose and repair this previously reported defect at no cost to me and provide an appropriate remedy if the vehicle cannot be safely and permanently repaired.

There’s a piece of the molding on the dashboard that is made of shiny material. It becomes blinding when the sun hits it daily. It’s because the material it’s made of that makes it unsafe to drive.

The contact owns a 2024 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 MPH, the vehicle intermittently stalled and failed to return to normal operation. The braking, electronic stability control, and battery warning lights were illuminated. The failure had occurred on several occasions. The vehicle was towed to a dealer to be diagnosed; however, the cause of the failure was not yet determined. The vehicle was not repaired, and the failure persisted. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine control unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the generator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer again to be diagnosed, and it was determined that the braking system needed to be replaced. The dealer suggested that the vehicle no longer be driven. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 23,000.

The contact owns a 2024 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, after making a right turn, the front passenger's side wheel detached from the ball joint. The vehicle was uncontrollable. The vehicle crashed into a street sign. The passenger’s side of the vehicle then crashed into two trees. The vehicle then crashed into a concrete pole and came to a stop. The vehicle was towed to a local tow yard. The contact sustained minor pain and bruising. No medical attention was required. The vehicle was not inspected by the insurance company. The vehicle was scheduled to be towed to a Collision Center. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

The driveshaft boot fell apart or came loose and contacted the emission system exhaust piping and eventually caught on fire. The whole underside was in flames and it was extinguished by the passengers. The unit could have completely caught on fire as the gas tank is close by. Killing the passengers and igniting the mountainside on fire. The vehicle will be towed to a dealership for inspection by the insurance company and the dealership.

Vehicle failed state inspection w less than 24,000 miles due to excessive rear brake wear. Brake pad wear was significantly greater and failed inspection on the piston side of the brake pads potentially indicating failure or improperly functioning of electronic emergency brake.

The turn signal switch activates the wipers sometimes. And sometimes the wipers ghost and run by themselves for no reason at all. This is very distracting and it has started to scratch the windshield. VERY DANGEROUS when travelling down the interstate at 70MPH and the wipers screech across the windshield all by themselves............PLEASE HELP.

While driving down the highway, the vehicle completely lost power and the driver was forced to wrestle the truck to the side of the road in traffic.

My 2024 Ram 1500 TRX has recurring safety-related failures of the infotainment system affecting both Uconnect 5 (12” screen) and earlier Uconnect 4 units. These issues are widespread in 2021–2024 Ram TRX and Ram 1500 models and began or worsened after forced over-the-air updates. The primary defect is black-screen failures while driving. When the screen goes black or freezes, the truck loses all functions controlled through the display, including HVAC/defrost, backup camera, vehicle settings, seat controls, and performance gauges. This creates an immediate safety hazard: I cannot adjust climate/defrost, cannot see the required rear-view camera when shifting to reverse, and cannot access key vehicle information. Owners across multiple years consistently report: • Black screens, freezes, and reboots • Loss of HVAC control and dual-zone functions • Backup camera not displaying • Vehicle/Apps tabs failing to open • Uconnect error messages • Smaller, harder-to-read gauges after updates • Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto failures • No option to decline or roll back OTA updates These failures distract the driver, remove access to federally required equipment (rear camera), and eliminate visibility and climate controls that directly affect safe operation. The system becomes unpredictable and unstable despite the vehicle being in motion. My vehicle experiences the same issues, including: Cameras not working, screen freezing or blacks out, navigation failing, carplay unstable won’t stay c

Heater Core Windshield fogging because of antifreeze fumes interfering with the HVAC Yes the issue has been confirmed by the dealer (Sansone Ram, NJ) I wasn't sure but kept smelling antifreeze in the cabin and the front windshield was interfering with my view in front of me. This Vehicle is a 2024 Ram 1500 with approx 46000 miles, just a little out of the basic warranty but this issue is not a wear and tear issue, way to early for this vehicle to have this kind of Problem.

I'm reaching out regarding my 2024 Ram 1500 that has approximately 45,850 miles. I was smelling anti freeze while heat was in the on position, along with the driver side front windshield fogging up immensely creating a visibility issue. (definitely a SAFETY ISSUE) I've been told by Sansone Ram in NJ that the heater core/HVAC has failed. I'm very familiar with automotives and know for sure that a heater core should not fail this early on a 2024 vehicle. This is clearly a PREMATURE FAILURE it's not normal wear and tear. This truck is still relatively new, has been maintained and serviced when needed with Sansone Ram in New Jersey. This should be a RECALL, this is NOT a wear and tear item especially the car is less then 3 years old with only 46000 miles. They are charging thousands of dollars because of a manufacturer Defect.....

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The passenger side wiper stopped wiping, the arm is not moving up and down, yes How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? This is causing the passenger side windshield to not be cleaned impairing visibility/blind spot that would cause an accident. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Dealer saw the issue Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Dealer said it would take 3 days, has not been inspected yet as this is my only work truck Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? N/A, wiper arm just stopped moving one day

The driver sun visor pivot arm broke while driving in very heavy traffic, and merging lanes. This cause my view forward to be complete blocked for several seconds until I could get it back into a position to successfully fold it back to its storage position. During this time I could not see any traffic, and had to turn my attention to the sun visor so to return my view of the highway. In my opinion, this put me and other drivers at risk because of 1) the period of time to remove the visor from blocking my sight, and 2) the inability to use this safety feature when it is needed. I have a video of the sun visor and how it blocked my view, but cannot upload it. Please observe closely the plastic where the sun visor retention happens, and broke. Without a design change, this will happen again. I have owned this vehicle 21 months at the time of the incident described above.

Leaving work remote start did not work as it normally did. Started with the key noticed the the red flashing lightning bolt. Shortly after the truck jerked like I was hit from behind the RPMs were all over the place. I shut the truck off started again still flashing lightning bolt traction control light was on and other messages were popping up. Service air bag service throttle control ect. Rpms were up and down on its own. Let it run foe 10 minutes shut it off started again same thing it took 1 hour before I got the light to turn off. I drove it home it ran funny like it didn't want to shift and at a stoplight with foot on the break the RPM s were still all over the place. And again the truck lurched like I was hit from behind. I made it home parked the truck called the dealership asked for a diagnostics to be done as I had an appointment for oil change and tire rotation scheduled. Service department sid there were active codes and ice buildup on the throttle body. They said there was not a fix for this and to make sure the truck gets up to temp to burn off the moisture. My drive to work is 30 minutes and I let the truck warmup t9 temp before I drive it Everytime. It has happened consistently causing me to be late for work this is a big PROBLEM and unexceptionable as it is unsafe to have a truck lurch forward on its own. Having a newer truck with 15000 miles and the best warranty availability I would think RAM would stand behind their product and make it safe and dependable.

The contact owns a 2024 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving on the expressway at 60 MPH, the battery warning light illuminated. The vehicle then lost motive power while stopped at a stoplight. The vehicle was towed to the side of the roadway by the Police. The vehicle was then towed to the local dealer, who determined there was a failure with the 48-Volt E-Torque battery. The vehicle was restarted and was driven for a month. There were no diagnostic codes retrieved. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 51,000.

My vehicle is equipped with an automatic engine stop/start feature that shuts off the engine when the vehicle is stopped, as well as an eTorque system intended to assist with initial acceleration. While stopped at an intersection with a slight downhill grade (foot fully depressing the brake pedal), the auto stop/start feature engaged and the engine shut off. When I released the brake to make a right turn, neither the engine nor the eTorque system reengaged. As a result, the vehicle rolled forward under its own momentum into oncoming traffic. I immediately reapplied the brake to stop the vehicle. At that point, the vehicle unexpectedly shifted itself into Park, even though the engine never restarted. I then pressed the ignition button to turn the vehicle off and back on in order to restart the engine. After restarting, I was able to shift into Drive and move into the traffic lane just in time to avoid a collision. A crash was avoided only because oncoming vehicles were able to change lanes to avoid striking my vehicle. At the time of the incident, the vehicle had more than one-third of a tank of fuel, fewer than 33,000 miles, and has been serviced exclusively at the dealership. This incident occurred at the intersection of Riverbend Road and Park Road in Charlotte, North Carolina.

As I was about to pull into my driveway my accelerator did not respond to braking I was going very slow about to make a left turn , less than 10mph Just As I started the left turn the wheel became unresponsive and the accelerator did not deccelerate At the same time my control panel seemed to glitch/flash I put both feet on the brake and stood on it as the truck continued forward until it struck the mailbox The truck stopped at that point but I could still hear the rear wheels turning on the road until I put it into park

On [XXX] at approximately [XXX] on [XXX] south of Madras Oregon. We were on our way to Bend Oregon and just coming up to the scales, when I accelerated to pass a car in the passing lane, all my dash lights lit up and the engine stopped running. Being in heavy traffic this made a dangerous situation with vehicles all around me, while my vehicle was coming to a stop. I was able to pull to the right shoulder to safety. I have brought this issue up with the dealership on three different during service calls. Prior to [XXX] incident, the truck's computer system has never completely shut down all at once. I have told the service manager that I have had several issues on the electrical system, but was told there was nothing wrong. The lights that flashed on, the best I can remember were; Front Collision, Trailer Brakes, Checking Engine, plus others. I cannot remember all, due to maneuvering my vehicle to the right shoulder. Unfortunately, I have not have documentation on every occurrence of electrical/computer failure. I keep getting told that my computer system just needs an update. So the dealership must be somewhat aware that something is going on with my vehicle. The sad part is that I keep trying to resolve this issue with the Dealership, but they keep avoiding my phone calls or when I do go in person they tell me nothings wrong. Here is the name of the dealership I purchased the vehicle from with the extended warranty. "Lithia Dodge of Bend". INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO T

The reported vehicle has experienced repeated, critical stalling events immediately following the activation of the engine Start/Stop feature. The engine shuts down normally when the vehicle comes to a stop (e.g., at a traffic light or stop sign) but fails to automatically restart when the brake pedal is released or the accelerator is pressed. This leaves the vehicle immobilized in traffic, creating a significant safety hazard. Incident Details The stalling behavior has occurred multiple times under normal operating conditions. The issue is intermittent but frequent enough to cause concern for vehicle safety.

The contact owns a 2024 Ram 1500. The contact stated that after shifting to park(P) and exiting the vehicle, the parking brake had independently activated upon return. The contact released the parking brake and proceeded to drive normally. While the contact was driving 40 MPH, the parking brake unexpectedly activated, causing the rear wheels to slide over into the other lane while the vehicle came to a screeching stop. The contact stated that the parking brake warning light was illuminated. Soon after the failure, the contact was notified of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V653000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC). The vehicle was taken to the dealer for service; however, upon the return of the vehicle, there were 11 fault codes on the instrument panel. The following day, the vehicle was taken back to the dealer, and the contact was informed that the technician who had serviced the vehicle had failed to add a signature to the recall repair, which caused the codes to populate. Upon leaving the dealer, while driving 55 MPH, the vehicle started losing power with several unknown warning lights flashing on the instrument panel. The contact attempted to make a right turn, and the vehicle lost motive power and power steering functionality. The vehicle failed to restart and remained stuck mid-turn. Due to the failure, the vehicle was towed to another dealer, where the mechanic discovered 51 fault codes all related to the 48-Volt battery. The manufacturer request

Details of Incident: July 2025: Purchased truck with 33k miles. Sept 2025: Battery completely failed; AAA confirmed cells were gone. Battery replaced. Two weeks later: Battery dead again; AAA jump-started. Vacation trip: Battery failed 3 more times, requiring jumps. Cross-country trip (MD → Vegas → Utah → Missouri): Multiple battery failures. Observed truck’s interior lights cycling on/off overnight. Diagnostic scan revealed 40 electrical codes. Chicago Dodge Dealer (Oct 2025): Technicians replicated issue and confirmed electrical faults. Chrysler refused to authorize parts, claiming 12V battery at fault. Vehicle has been at dealer over one month. Consumer threaten to be charged for diagnostics, technician time, and rental car. Safety Risk: Vehicle repeatedly fails to start, leaving driver stranded in unsafe locations. Electrical system unpredictably powers on/off, risking fire hazard or system failure while driving. Items such as UConnect, alerts, and lights fail randomly. Owner forced to drive long distances without shutting off engine to avoid being stranded. Attempts to Remedy: Multiple AAA service calls and battery replacements. Dealer diagnostics confirmed electrical defect. Chrysler refuses to authorize repair, blaming battery despite evidence. Consumer Impact: Financial burden: diagnostic fees, rental car costs, repeated

The truck is on its 3rd camshaft and lifters due to failures. The truck has 43,000 miles on it. This is not normal. RAM has fixed it twice, and now the new lifters, that were installed a month ago are also beginning to make noise. When these camshaft and lifters fail they put metal into the engine which creates catastrophic failures.

The 2024 Ram 1500 3.6L V6 E-Torque engine stalls at low speeds. Without warning the engine shuts off and the emergency brake automatically engages, when the truck comes to a stop it shifts into park, and I have to restart the truck. Fortunately this has only happened in parking lots at speeds of around 5mph. This has happened twice so far. The battery voltage dropped from 13.8 volts to 12.2 volts during both stall events. The truck is 1 year old with 15,324 miles on it.

The airbag system failed to deploy during a front-end collision. Despite significant damage to the front of the vehicle, none of the airbags activated. Yes, the vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The driver (my husband) hit his head on the steering wheel due to the airbags not deploying, which put his safety at serious risk. The lack of airbag deployment increased the chances of injury during the impact. The problem has not yet bee confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. We are in the process of having the vehicle inspected. The vehicle was seen by police and today insurance representatives will inspect it. However, the manufacturer has not yet inspected the airbag system No warning lights or messages were present before the accident. There were no signs that the airbag system was malfunctioning.

Airbag service light coming on and off. I saw there was a recall on this but they are saying my truck is not on the recall.

Engine has to be replaced due to bad rod bearings

I keep getting a message to service airbags. Sometimes it resets its self but always returns. Only 13000 miles on vehicle

Brake pedal goes to floor when braking. When brakes are applied they need to be pumped first, for pressure to be applied.

The vehicle has been in the shop for a multiple cylinder misfire 5 times now. RAM has been unable to repair the vehicle. This poses a potential safety issue because it could happen while I am driving on the road and potentially cause an accident.

The contact owns a 2024 Ram 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V729000 (Steering, Exterior Lighting); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable.

The vehicle randomly stalls, causing it to through it in park regardless of speed and puts on the parking brake causing a increased risk of an accident. The battery light then comes on. It has been in the shop 5 times for the same problem. This last time was the worst of them all. After restarting it on the way to the dealer it started shutting down the radio, then the ac, and then in middle of a sharp turn it shut of the power steering. Let's just say that a bad way to find out it has electrical power steering. then next it shut down completely with about every light on the dash on. Had to call a tow truck. None of the dealerships it has been to for these issues have been unable to find the cause. The dealerships have been unable to reproduce the issue. i currently do not have the invoices from the dealership it is at but can get them to you in a few days.

Within the first 3,000 miles of purchasing the vehicle, it would randomly go into neutral (although) it indicated drive. No warning signals were activated. This happened 5 times. The dealership tried to re-train the transmission which appeared to work for a bit, however the car now shuts down completely with no warning. It will engage the emergency brake as well. This has happened 4 times now. I have an elderly mom living with me, a husband with Parkinson's and I take care of my grand children. This is a huge safety issue. I have had the car to the dealership 6 times and they cannot figure out the problem. Chrysler is dragging their feet on this and I am concerned for our safety.

Truck has auto start/stop for fuel efficiency. It automatically engages on startup. Truck is prone to sudden unexpected acceleration when it is engaged. Has almost caused 3 wrecks with my truck. Dealership says they know about the problem and that I should just turn it off everytime I get in the truck. This will kill somebody some day. I forgot to turn it off today and it almost caused me to rear-end another vehicle while at a stoplight.

The electric emergency brake engaged twice while I was driving; luckily, both times, I was just above idle speed in a parking lot. One time, the engine cut off wholly and randomly while driving. Once, at an intersection with my family in the truck, the truck began revving up and accelerating toward oncoming traffic. My family was in the vehicle. I had to smash the brakes several times, and the back wheels were chiroing due to the forward acceleration. There were no warning lamps. I turned the truck into the local RAM dealership, and they cannot find an issue. This makes the truck more dangerous because it happens at random, and the cause can't be found.

Braking Malfunction #1 - Location: [XXX] /right hand turn to [XXX] . On [XXX], Our family was headed from Fieldstone Assisted Living in Olympia to Alderbrook Resort in Union Washington for Thanksgiving dinner. When slowing down to make a right hand turn off of [XXX], Truck's front brakes completely seized up, making a bucking type motion and the back brakes failed (tires were accelerating while actually braking). The truck became uncontrollable and veered over into the path of an oncoming car. The oncoming car saw we were having an issue and stopped so as to not be hit head on by our truck. The truck ended up in the dirt alongside the left lane. After sitting a few minutes to collect ourselves and trying to figure what just happened, tested the brakes and they appeared to re-engage. NO WARNING LIGHTS EVER CAME ON. Braking Malfunction #2 - Location: [XXX] [XXX]. Six weeks after the first braking malfunction, heading home from running errands. As began approaching a red light, pressed the brakes to slow down and stop for the light. The front brakes completely failed (like pressing into a soft pillow that went all the way to the floor with absolutely no braking). At the same time, the back tires were accelerating/spinning (like with incident #1). To avoid running the red light, took a sharp hair pin turn (right) onto a side road nearly hitting two cars - one with small children in it. Had to make a quick decision if should run the truck into the ditch to stop it. Instead took a

The tailgate latches will not close or open properly. The latch on the tailgate has moved inwards causing it to hit the pegs in the wrong position. It will not close and if it does latch it can pop open. When it did open it didn’t indicate the tailgate was down. I’m a general contractor and have a lot of tools/material in the bed of the truck. I’m worried something could have fallen out unbeknownst to be and caused an accident.
