This truck has shut down on me, put itself into park and set the ebrake numerous times. Twice it restarted right away, one time it died and would not restart because the battery was completely discharged. It have been in service 3 times, the 1st time no faults were found, the truck was in the shop for 2 months. The second time the vehicle was in the shop for 2 or 3 months and the etorque was replaced. Currently the vehicle is in the shop, the dealership said the truck started right up with no faults found, the shop is trying to find the fault.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
Purchased the vehicle(2022 Ram 1500 BigHorn w/ 5.7 HEMI Etorque) 7/26/25 from Kenny Ross Ford with 26,600 miles on it. Noticed a whining noise at lower speeds and idle. Thinking it was a pulley bearing, made repair appointment. By 7/28/25 the whining had turned to grinding. Dashboard lit up with warning lights, truck went into limp mode and eventually completely died in middle of road on way back to dealer. I am told it is the MGU and the wait time on backorder is extensive. They havent been able to give me an exact time yet of when the part will be available.

The seal around the back window is leaking. I have a 2022 Ram 1500 that was completed and picked up on 01/21/2022. Therefore, my vehicle was built in 2021. The issue is reoccurring and constantly leaks inside the cab of the truck when it rains. The truck smell musky and damp. The water leaks all the way under the seat and gets items wet in the under seat compartments.

STEERING
The electric steering in my 2022 RAM 1500 Classic pickup failed at 40,000 miles and about 2 years & 11 months after I bought it new. It went from driving fine when pulling out from our vacation rental cabin to absolutely no power assistance 1/4 mile down the long driveway out to the highway. Thank goodness I was driving slowly because I was caught totally off guard and barely stopped before I would’ve gone into the ditch and a very large tree! I immediately called the RAM dealer where I purchased the truck and was told the earliest I could get it in for service was in over 2 weeks! So I contacted an independent garage who used to service my previous vehicles & they could get my truck in & diagnosed immediately so I took it in— code says EPS failed & I need a $4000 complete replacement of the steering system! I expect Chrysler to cover my cost for this repair. It’s obviously a known defective design.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
The first issue appeared when I came to a stop at a light. The auto start/stop feature malfunctioned and left my truck dead in the middle of a busy intersection and wouldn’t turn back on right away. Eventually it turned on and I was able to make it home safely. I thought this was a one time thing as the truck then appeared to be working fine after. But then it happened again after that where it wouldn’t restart after the auto start/stop function didn’t restart the engine. When I brought it in to the dealership they diagnosed the problem as a faulty etorque motor and replaced the unit in July, 2023, about a year and a half after I bought the truck brand new. Now 2 years later, the issue is happening again. This time the check engine light came on, then a few minutes later the battery low voltage light came on, all while I was driving at speed on the expressway. The truck never shut off and I was able to make it to my destination safely but I feared the same issue from 2 years ago was happening again. I immediately had the 12v battery replaced under the hood the same day and got an oil change to make sure it wasn’t either of those things triggering the check engine light. The check engine light remained on and so I was able to bring it to the dealership with the battery voltage gauge reading 11.2 at the lowest while on the way. They hooked up the code reader for the check engine light which showed error code: P0A78 - Drive Motor A Inverter Performance, leaving me unable to drive the truck home as it is unsafe to drive at this point for fear the truck would lose power while under way. As it stands, truck is at the dealership awaiting further diagnostics for the same issue that’s been happening since I bought the truck new in December, 2021.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I was trying to get into my car and my RF hub stop working I couldn't get into my car and when I was able to I couldn't start it. I was at my daughters daycare and we were stranded. They say it was due to water damage and they stated this was caused by a faulty seal on the vehicle's and water entered the truck. This item should be recalled and fixed at the dealerships expense since its an known issue. What if I needed to take my daughter or family member to the ER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Hi guys, I live in Central America, bought my truck new at the dealer in Guatemala that is Grupo Q, the dealer does not service recalls, nor does any warranty work. AS you can see with my vin recalls are still not done. I have gotten in touch with ram recently to check on this, also because the local dealer will not do any warranty work on my seat bottoms that have started to rip at 44,000km they started to rip at 5,000km. three months ago my ac compressor dyed. again no warranty, I got in touch with ram because my truck states 5 year 60,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty. Ram US told me to get in touch with RAM Mexico and they dont even pick the phone and when a miracle happens they pick up the phone just to hung it up. I got in touch again with RAM us they escalated my case to a senior tech two months ago and no one has gotten in touch with me. Its obvius RAM sells outside US and does nothing for their clients.
