STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
Over the three years of ownership we have had four occurrences of random stalling when taking left turns, where the engine stalls out, and the emergency parking brake engages. This can easily be a life threatening occurrence as it happens in the middle of the intersection during the left turn and it takes time to confirm the car is turned off, then need to disengage the emergency brake and THEN restart the car, all while stuck in the middle of an intersection. We reported this to multiple dealerships, the one we purchased at and the ones giving us service. The Joe Ricci's Marlette Chrysler Dodge dealership ran the diagnostic test and did not find any error messages. This problem keeps occurring and needs a recall before more people our hurt and/or killed.

POWER TRAIN
Truck randomly will go into neutral after being placed in gear and moving. I will place the vehicle in drive to exit my driveway. It has happened twice at the exact same spot/conditions. As I turn out of my driveway and begin to accelerate the truck will tell me to put shifter in park and select gear. The truck places itself in neutral. You must come to a stop, put in park then back to drive and continue on. This is extremely dangerous if it were to happen at the wrong time! Fortunately I live on a back road with little traffic but if it happens in a bust intersection there will very likely be an accident.

Components keep going offline, about 5 times a week. Larry Miller RAM, says there's nothing they can do, since the technology is so new. So I purchased a $84k vehicle for their safety features, that don't work 50% of the time.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
Vehicle has been taken to the dealership for AEB and blind spot monitoring. The vehicle has spent 15 days in the shop, only for nothing to have changed. Vehicle was driven by dealership an excessive 171 miles, only to be returned to us and within 10 minutes of driving, the AEB warning reappears. This vehicle has driven less than 5000mi. It should not have such electrical issues impacting enhanced safety features. The truck is going back to the dealership for yet another attempt to repair, unlikely to be successful. A quick online search leads to numerous individuals experiencing the same issue with their Ram truck with seemingly no resolution in site outside of replacing the CADM module. It's absurd that this hasn't been issued as a formal recall.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I have been trying to get the turn signal recall fixed on my truck for the past year. After I make a left turn, the turn signal only turns off about 1/2 of the time. The first 4 times I spoke to them both in person and over the phone, they said they were waiting on the part. When I spoke to them last week, the parts guy said he had the part, but I would have to pay for it since the system showed the recall had been fixed. No one has ever even worked on the turn signal, other than to test it, which was at the end of 2024.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
My vehicle is currently at the service department of a dealership by my, Covert CDJR Bee Cave, due to two codes that recently set: P0EA7 and P026E. Mopar/Stellantis issues a TSB for this issue. Number 07-003-22. This is a known and documented issued but if your vehicle is outside the original 36 month, 36k mile warranty they will not cover it. This issue is not from wear and tear it is a defect and flaw in the original design. I have requested good will coverage and up to this point have been denied.

September 18 my vehicle had 948 mikes on it. After driving 17 gps miles vehicle Milage had advanced to 965. After returning to vehicle the Milage had changed to 950. Also Trip A changed from 102 to 89. I’ve been noticing my gas Milage don’t make sense as the vehicle only would show 7-8 mpg while the vehicle computer would show 17-18 mpg. Therefore this problem has existed since I bought it. There is a definite problem with the center electronic cluster and apparently ram has a backlog of months to replace them. There needs to be a recall for this problem.

The contact's mother owned a 2022 Ram 1500. The contact stated that her mother had noticed that there was an abnormal burning odor coming from the vehicle. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times. The dealer could not duplicate the failure on some occasions, and the dealer replaced the fuel injectors on other occasions; however, the failure persisted. The contact stated that while her mother was driving 60-65 MPH, the abnormal burning odor was stronger. The driver pulled into a gas station. The contact's father was occupying the front passenger seat, and the contact and her child were occupying the rear seats. The contact noticed that there was smoke coming out between the bed and the cabin of the trunk. The contact's parents exited the vehicle, and the contact ran into the gas station with her child and asked for a fire extinguisher. The gas station worker went out to extinguish the fire with the fire extinguisher while the contact called 911. The contact stated that the vehicle caught on fire, and the fire originated underneath the vehicle, between the bed and the cabin of the trunk.
