POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Vehicle stopped at stop light when start/stop system activated. When acceleration attempted, turning right, vehicle stalled, activated the parking brake and displayed a battery warning. Restarted vehicle and showed a low voltage condition for the battery. Pulled over and turned off the truck and restarted which cleared the issue and voltage returned to normal. This is the third stall over 66k miles, the first with a new battery, which doesn’t seem to be the problem.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
the truck was at a stoplight and the auto start/stop system shuts off the engine to conserve fuel. The engine will not turn back on. the truck autoshift corrects the transmission to park. The shifter then can not be used. the truck has to be restarted. The restart can happen on the first try or the third. After the restart the engine is running rough and bucking and the acceleration is not consistent for a about 5 minutes. This problem has happened on at least 5 different occasions. the first in April 2022 with 4410 miles, 2nd March of 2023 with 22085, 3rd November 2023. After each of the first three incidents the truck was brought to the dealer and they were unable to replicate the problem. No error codes registered even thought a got a powertrain alert in the app that I pay for. The fourth time was sometime in the spring of 2024 and the last one was Dec 13th 2024. The truck has not been brought to the dealer after the last two problems. What is the sense when they can't find anything wrong.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
When I attempt to fill my 2022 Ram 1500 (55,000 Miles) with gas the valve at the base of the tank (part of the evap system) prevents it from taking gas. The dealership told me it was a safety issue (no kidding) and I needed a new fuel tank. As it turns out this is a really common issue with these Rams and when they pulled the spare tank they had in stock, it had a broken fuel nipple at the top of the tank (which also seems unsafe). Is anything being looked into regarding these gas tanks?

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, VISIBILITY/WIPER
My sun visor detatched and fell on my head while driving causing me to swerve into the median. I took it in and was told it's a common issue for RAMs, The dealership called MOPAR to file a clain, MOPAR insists the sun visor is a trim and not a safety related vehicle component designed to keep the driver from being blinded by the sun.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
From day one when entering a roadway it would start to move putting me into traffic then just refuse to go leaving stranded for about ten seconds then move again, the whole time it would shudder and shake by engine and the transmission and it was like the system were all fighting for control. Next when entering a freeway I pulled on to the on ramp and immediately got up to 50mph and started to merge and it bogged down like it lost fuel and again I was almost hit by traffic but they avoided me. There are numerous problems with the infotainment system to the point of distraction, most of these problems are transient but on going, they fixed some of them with software updates but then a new crop will pop up. I have not been able to trust the truck since I’ve owned it so I have had to cancel all the plans I made when I bought it. I think two years is long enough to wait to use what I paid for.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
While towing, the cluster presented "Service Electronic Throttle" warning, lost the ability to accelerate (limp mode), and also lost electronic skid control. Code P00AF was stored. The turbocharger is now being replaced. This is a serious safety issue that is being reported by hundreds of owners of FCA products with this engine across their brands. The same repair is being applied regardless if it is Ram or Jeep, replacing the turbocharger. There is clearly a safety issue and it seems that nobody is doing anything about this widespread safety issue. It is far from isolated and someone will inevitably become seriously injured as a result of this no known flaw if it remains unaddressed by the NHTSA and FCA.

ENGINE
On 3 separate occasions, each involving a stop light that changes from red to green as the vehicle has come to nearly a complete stop, I pressed the accelerator and the engine died. The vehicle responds by automatically shifting the transmission into park and setting the emergency brake. Two of these times there has been a car behind me who narrowly avoided rear ending me. The vehicle has restarted each of these times but auto start/stop does not seem to work for a while afterward. I now disengage auto start/stop each time I start the vehicle and have not experienced the problem with it disengaged.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I am writing to formally express my concern and dissatisfaction regarding the safety recall repair on the tailgate latch of my 2022 Ram 1500, which was completed on January 8, 2023. Despite the repair being marked as “completed,” I have continued to experience issues with the tailgate latch, indicating that the recall was not fully effective. Given that this recall was issued for a critical safety issue, I am concerned about the ongoing risk it poses and the failure of the repair to resolve the problem. I would like to request that the issue be addressed as soon as possible, and that the vehicle be inspected to ensure that the recall repair is truly complete and functional. Please provide me with guidance on the next steps to ensure that this safety concern is fully resolved. I look forward to your prompt response and a satisfactory resolution to this matter. Thank you for your attention to this urgent issue.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I keep getting a check engine light because of voltage issues related to the etorque system. Also receive a battery icon and volt gauge shows 11v. The code says everything from overcharge to under charge and all kinds of electrical codes. I have been to dealer multiple times. At first they did nothing but last visit they did a control module software update. Code did not appear for a few weeks and last weekend it came back.

STRUCTURE:INTERIOR PANELS:SUN VISOR
The contact owns a 2022 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving approximately 65 MPH, the driver’s side sun visor was lowered; however, the sun visor lowered more than normal, blocking the view of the highway. The contact used force to place the sun visor back into the up position. The contact stated that the force needed to put the sun visor in place caused concern that the sun visor attachment point to the roof might become fractured. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer or independent mechanic to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

ENGINE
On November 19, 2024 I was driving my kids to school this morning. It was a clear morning and the roads were dry and clear as well. I was still in our subdivision. I put my blinker on to make a right hand turn and slowed down to a stop. After confirming there were no cars coming, I intended to make my right turn and my engine stalled. I pressed the gas pedal to confirm and the vehicle engine did not respond at all, it just coasted. The message on the dash instructed me to put the truck in "park." As there was another vehicle behind me wanting to turn as well and to avoid any accidents, I put on my hazards to allow the car behind me know I was not moving so they could go around. I then pressed the brake, put the truck back in park. And then I had to restart it again. This is a very scary issue and the dealership's advice was that since there was no actual recall "yet" they would charge us about $200 to do a diagnostic first and then see what the issue was. Our vehicle is a 2022 Ram. I only drive this vehicle to do school drops off/pick ups and I work from home. We've already had to replace the starter assembly at 39.093 miles. And now the engine is stalling while the vehicle is in motion at only 43,000 miles right now.
