I stopped at a stop sign. When I began to accelerate, the engine stopped leaving me stranded in the middle of the road. Perpendicular to on coming traffic to my left. Luckily it was 530 in the morning and traffic was very light. I was able to get the truck restarted after about 30 seconds and continued to work. No check engine light or any warning lights came on at that time. When leaving work, the check engine light came on and i drove it straight to dealership because it is to dangerous to drive safely. This is the only time this has happened and the truck is in the shop and was told they cannot recreate the problem. There was no check engine lights prior to incident. This could have been deadly to me or any on coming traffic as they could have ran into the drivers side of my truck.
After driving in a snow storm twice in the same day and one time in the winter of 2023 I was unable to put my truck into park. Each of the three time it occurred the gear indicator would flash and a message appeared to set parking brake to prevent rolling. While this was occurring I could not turn the truck off or put it into park as it would only go into accessory mode and see the parking brake. I contacted my local deal who was able to look at the truck that day. They advised there was to much snow and ice built up around a knuckle on the transmission that didn’t allow the truck to go into park and on this particular day the dealership received 30 calls on this issue including the service departments shop Forman. I was told not to drive my 4x4 off road package truck in the snow and to park in a heated garage. I contacted Ram customer care who admitted it was a know issue and a design flaw. Ram customer service also advised to not drive in snow and to park in a heated garage. Living in WI that is not a feasible option. This put myself and others in danger as I was not able to physically put my 2022 Ram into park and could have injured myself or others as the truck would not go into park gear. There was no warning this was happening until I attempted to put truck into park. I do have a video I recorded as it was occurring that I can provide to you.
While driving at low speeds, truck shuts off and emergency brake is applied. This has happened when pulling out into traffic. The truck just turns off. I have to disengage the emergency brake and then the truck will restart. The only light that comes on is the emergency brake light. This has happened multiple times over past few weeks.
Vehicle was taken to dealer to inspect for possible water intrusion into the cab from the rear window frame/seal. Dealer confirmed leak in the upper Corner and asked for Ram to approve to replace. Ram denied stating the initial glass warranty is only 12 months. This isn't a Glass issue as these trucks are prone to rear window leaks due to faulty seal/sealant and windo Frame cracks. 2022 ram 1500 woth .under 26000 miles.
The contact owns a 2022 Ram 1500. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The message "Water in Fuel" was displayed and there was an abnormal sound coming from the fuel pump while driving. The contact stated that he had drained the fuel filter but could not find water intrusion in the fuel. Additionally, the contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that he was able to pull to the side of the road on some occasions. The contact stated that upon connecting a diagnostic tool to the vehicle and clearing the diagnostic test codes, the vehicle was able to restart. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring while driving. Additionally, the contact stated while driving 45-50 MPH, the vehicle started jerking significantly and stalled. The contact was able to pull to the side of the road. The vehicle failed to restart and was towed to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact stated that the dealer charged a fee for diagnostic testing, but the contact declined to pay the fee because the VIN was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V263000 (Fuel System, Diesel), which he related to the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 41,000.
The sun visors are made cheaply and have broken off of both the driver side and passenger side. This makes driving towards the sun really dangerous and blinding.
Product recall caused multiple accidents in vehicle resulting in permanent injuries
Steering does not work right when turn left on long left turns like exits. It is like it stick at that location and you have to give more force to come out of the turn then when you go back it start over like it back and forth on the long swiping turns. Any other time it is fine. Scary on the highway. It start when under warranty to it a couple times but the dealer could not make it happen it still happening but now out of warranty.
My battery died and when I reset it all of the abs lights came on. Now I need a new abs control module
This vehicle has stalled three times in separate occurrences in the last 12 months after stopping at an intersection for a stop sign. When attempting to continue on, the vehicle stalls and engages the emergency brake. All three occurrences have left me broadside in an intersection until I can get the vehicle started and disengage the E brake. This is a huge safety concern. The last occurrence was on 3/8/24, this one had the same symptoms as the first two except there was also a battery light warning that I was able to correct by shutting the truck off and restarting. I made a service appointment where I purchased the vehicle ( Walser Dodge, Hopkins Mn.). No codes were produced to indicate what might be causing this issue. They tried to replicate the issue by driving the truck 113 miles with no success. There was no resolution to the problem from this service visit. I did do some research online and discovered that many other people are experiencing this same issue with vehicles equipped with the 5.7 L hemi with torque. These reports cover model years going back to 2019. I also discovered that a recall for this issue was implemented for 2021 Ram trucks that were experiencing this problem. The research that I did was through Dodge forums, videos, legal websites and some were sited from NHTSA. The dealership said that they have never heard of this before.

While driving vehicle has stalled on multiple occasions While at a stop sign or stop red light it has stalled as it seems to Try to shut down the engine then stalls I would classify this as an extreme hazard especially while driving at highway speeds All functions shut off including power steering brakes ( until air exhausts) I would suggest the nhtsa take a serious look at this The writer is a former fdny chief and current presidential appointment to the DOJ Medal of Valor Board Thank you [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Vehicle steering began to shake violently intermittently, I pulled off the highway and began to inspect front wheels. I saw fire on left side of engine through the wheel well. I extinguished fire with hand extinguisher. Fire department inspected and saw no danger to move vehicle. Vehicle was towed. Inspection by dealer was inconclusive. (!) I would not trust it to drive. I brought vehicle into company shop and inspected myself and found starter wire routed between brackets on engine/cross member. The cable was burned/ shorted and the cause of fire and electric steering malfunction. Any further use would certainly cause another incident. Vehicle was returned to dealer for replacement of harness. Dealer stated no recalls or known issues related to this. Inspected another vehicle of same type and wire is similar routing. Vehicle showed no symptoms prior to and no codes set after incident. One photo from below, driver side engine/transmission mounting, burned cable dead center.
The contact owns a 2022 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving approximately 10 MPH, while making a right turn and coming to a stop, several unknown warning lights flashed on the instrument panel and displayed before the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. The vehicle was immediately restarted but the "battery" warning light remained illuminated. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 21,000.
I was slowing down for traffic at a stop light and when I was almost stopped traffic began moving again so I took my foot off the brake and pushed the gas pedal. The truck stalled, it shifted to park, the emergency brake came on and a red warning lamp for the battery came on. Traffic behind me had to stop abruptly to avoid hitting my vehicle. I immediately put my 4-way flashers on while trying to get the truck to restart. This was at 3:30 pm in very busy traffic on a 6 lane road on Feb 22 2024. I couldn’t get the truck to restart or move or do anything for over a minute. After a minute the truck allowed me to restart and drive home. The battery lamp stayed on the whole way home and the back-up camera stopped working when I parked. It has never had issues other than this one time. There were no warning lights on and no symptoms before this happened. It has not happened since, but I worry it could happen again with no warning.
The truck shut off on me at high speed on the highway. Another time which I caught on video, I was making a right hand turn and the truck shut off.

[XXX], While driving S on [XXX] , I felt a brief loss of power than a total engine shutdown. I was sandwiched between two semis but was able to locate a wide spot in the shoulder to signal and pull over, parking 9 feet off the fog line. The vehicle indicated a failure and would not restart. As it was a winter night, I was able to contact a relative to head our way and contacted AAA for a tow 5 miles to the nearest town, Chemult. My wife and I secured our vehicle in a safe place off the highway and were given a ride 72 miles to home. Ram Assist was unable to locate a tow company so I arranged and paid for the vehicle to be delivered to the nearest dealer in Klamath Falls, OR. After a week, the dealer confirmed a fuel system catastrophic shut down probably related to the high pressure fuel pump. Parts took 1.5 months to arrive and a repair was attempted March 29. April 1, I was informed the repair failed, the vehicle would not provide sufficient fuel pressure. New parts were ordered and attempted repairs continued to fail. As of May 8, 2024, the vehicle has not been successfully repaired. Replaced components are retained by the dealer at least until the repair is successful, then they will be sent to FCA. Vehicle started and ran well prior to the sudden failure. It was getting good mileage, was fueled with COSTCO diesel, and DEF tank was indicating full. I was advised of the HPFP recall and had requested the service in mid-December. Recall replacement parts were not available. Knowing of the recall, I had thought through what a failure would feel like so the correct action was taken immediately to get out of the way of the following Semi and coast to a safe distance off the highway lane. Thankfully, winter conditions had moderated so we kept warm enough (brand new winter coats purchased that day) and we were within cell coverage.

The contact owns a 2022 RAM 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 2 MPH into his driveway, the vehicle suddenly accelerated, coming to a complete stop after colliding into the contact's home. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was not filed. The contact sustained a minor injury but did not seek treatment. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 50,000.
The high pressure fuel pump failed while traveling at approximately 45 mph in the left lane on a public highway in snowy conditions. The truck lost all mechanical power and would not start upon multiple attempts. There were other motorists on the road who could have been endangered if I was not able to safely maneuver the truck to the shoulder. The truck was towed to Ken Garff Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram in West Valley, UT where the service department confirmed that the high pressure fuel pump failed. The manufacturer "prioritized" ordering replacement parts, but is unable to provide an estimated time of arrival for several components necessary to complete the repair. No symptoms, warning lamps, or other indicators were evident prior to the mechanical failure. The fuel tank was 3/4 full with diesel fuel purchased in Utah (where the incident occurred), DEF was full, and the truck had routine scheduled service a week prior performed by a Ram dealership in Canoga Park, CA.
When using RAM's UConnect system with Apple CarPlay, the system often disconnects and disables Maps, Podcasts, etc. This requires that one manually disconnect the system, restart it and connect to the phone again. For example, when driving in downtown Dallas, Apple Maps was disconnected and there was no place to pull over to reconnect to the UConnect system. This problem is frequent. On a recent 100 mile trip, the system disconnected over 15 times. I have taken the truck back to the dealer. The service manager said that his truck did the same thing. He said that it was a software issue and that RAM (Stellantis) was working on it. Upon calling the UConnect Customer Service line, I got the same answer. There have been a few updates since I purchased this vehicle, but none have solved the problem. This situation is dangerous and causes distraction - whether you are able to pull over or not. I have been driving this truck for 2 years and the problem has been constant the entire time.
My husbands and my life were put in danger by the motor not being bolted correctly to the frame of the truck, only 2 bolts were holding it and it could have fallen out, the tire having a screw in it on the inside of the side wall of tire, radiator not bolted correctly to the truck and could have fallen out, Freon and antifreeze leaks into the cabin after we picked up the truck, transmission not being bolted in correctly and wire harness hanging loose, clamps not being tightened, fluid missing from radiator, clips not connected, bolts broken off into the motor, bolts stripped and not secure, brake and transmission fluid leaks when they told us too pick up after repairs were made at Mt. Ephraim Dodge dealership in NJ. The truck is at the dealership where we purchased it on [XXX] and has been there since [XXX].

On three (3) separate occasions I was making a turn when the engine just shut down and turned to the off position. Two occasions were on to a busy road…where fortunately no cars were coming at the time or I could have been seriously injured.
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.
The contact called on behalf of his grandparents who owned a 2022 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while his grandfather was driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to stop as intended. The contact stated that the brakes finally responded; however, the rear wheels continued to spin for another 30 seconds. The contact stated that the failure occurred several times, including while at the dealer. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was inspected by two investigators; however, the investigators could not duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was later returned to the dealer as a Trade-In. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 5,000. The VIN was unavailable.
I brought a brand new vehicle from thunder chrysler dodge Jeep ram in bartow, FL in July 2022. I took it back to the dealer to be seen as it was making a weird noise and sounded off the beginning of 2024. They looked at the vehicle as it was under warranty and I picked up the vehicle several days later. Only to then realize the vehicle was doing the same thing. Took it back to the dealer, they claim they repaired it again and I drove it off the lot and realized immediately it still wasn’t fixed. This goes on now 3-4 different times. The dealer states they have never had this happen before and cannot direct me on who to contact regarding my vehicle being repaired or bought back etc. they sold me a lemon vehicle and I want to be fully compensated for this.
The vehicle has stalled multiple times while slowing down into a light and does not restart. The vehicle is equipped with the e - torque system that is supposed to restart the vehicle after coming to a full stop in the engine shutting down to conserve fuel. The vehicle will sometimes shut down at a slow speed and will apply the parking brake automatically. The vehicle then has to be restarted the emergency brake has to be disengaged and the vehicle has to be shifted back into drive to be able to move. The vehicle will have multiple warning lights come up on occasion, including low voltage, service etorque system, low power mode. The vehicle has been taken to two different dealerships at least three different occasions. Sometimes they find diagnostic trouble codes that refer to loss or low engine power. But they have not been able to replicate the problem when dropped off. The problem has occurred during the winter months but also the summer months, so it seems that temperature is not the sole cause. But it seemed to happen more during winter time. The concern for safety is that the vehicle will shut down at a low speed of less than 3 mph. When letting go of the break and expecting the engine to restart the vehicle May slowly roll forward into an intersection if it's in a downhill before the parking brake is able to engage itself. Another concern is for the person behind might assume that the vehicle will drive forward but due to the engine failing to restart and applying the e-brake, the person behind might not see the brake lights engage and could cause the vehicle to get rear-ended if the driver behind is not able to determine the vehicle in front of them has stalled. The problems will appear with no warning whatsoever. And they seem to mostly happen during the initial few miles of the day. As the majority of the instances have been during the morning on my way to work.

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.

Engine has stalled and shut off on multiple occasions, once on the on ramp to a highway this posing extremely dangerous scenario. Dealership has been unable to determine the cause or replicate the issue
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. Over the past year, the reliability of this function has deteriorated. Frequently, when the vehicle comes to a stop at a traffic light, it autonomously engages the park, activates the emergency brake, and proceeds to switch off the engine. To resume normal operation, the driver must manually disengage the emergency brake, restart the engine, and shift back into drive. The dashboard displays the message "Stop/Start Restart Required." I have videos of the dash after we pulled over if needed.
ABS stability control alarm. Truck went into limp mode. Took for ever to get up to speed. Recall nationwide for 1.5 million vehicles reported in September 2024. There is still no fix. Nor have I been contacted.
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.
The contact owns a 2022 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, and the parking brake was activated, the vehicle began to roll forward. The contact stated that the failure had occurred on several occasions. The contact stated that on one occasion, the vehicle erroneously rolled into a tree causing damaged to the exterior body. On multiple occasions when the failure occurred the contact and the husband were nearly struck by the vehicle. The failure was intermittent and had occurred while the vehicle was turned on and while the vehicle was turn off. After taking the vehicle to the local dealer, no cause for the failure found. The dealer performed a transmission software update to resolve the failure, but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 11,000.
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.
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.
The contact owns a 2022 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 20-30 MPH after making a turn, the vehicle stalled. The contact shifted to neutral(N) and pulled to the side of the roadway. The contact had not attempted to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer; however, the failure could not be duplicated. The contact stated that the failure had recurred six months later. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a secondary dealer, Rick Hendrick Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Duluth (2473 Pleasant Hill Rd, Duluth, GA 30096); however, the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 22,000.
The engine in my truck stopped running while I was driving on the highway. First thing I noticed was the dash indicating that I should shift into park. When I attempted to apply power to safely change lanes, there was no response from the engine and thats when I realized the rpm was at 0. I attempted to restart the engine, but it sputtered and ultimately died again. Upon bringing the vehicle to a stop on the shoulder, I attempted a restart and the engine ran loudly for a moment and then died. Once I got the truck to the dealer and they were able to assess the problem, the determined that the engine had experienced catastrophic failure. One of the valves had stuck open and punched a hole in the piston. Thankfully this was covered under warranty and the truck now has a brand new long block, I have since learned that this is a recurring issue with this motor from FCA so I decided to report it to the NHTSA.
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.
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
