VISIBILITY/WIPER
Drivers side visor plastic mount broke while attempting to adjust the visor while driving on the turnpike. Visor was impeding visibility and could not be removed due to the electrical components. Also could not pull over to remove because specialty torx screwdriver required and was well outside of any city or town. Had to extend the visor and prop it against the door as the only means to reduce the obstruction in order to get home. I was concerned that a sharp turn would dislodge it from its precarious perch. Online searches indicate this has been a common problem since the 2019 model and numerous companies make an aftermarket bracket to go over the OEM part to correct this well known and obvious defective part.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES
There is currently a recall on the trailer braking system in the truck, making it unsafe and unable to be utilized to tow a trailer or anything due to the recall. I have called the manufacturer multiple times as the dealerships have advised me that they are only receiving 1 replacement part per week and have wait lists of 35 plus vehicles. When I spoke with the manufacturer regarding getting the part shipped rapidly so that I can utilize the towing feature on my truck I was advised that "it would be faster and better to just purchase a new truck". No other solutions have been offered to remedy the issue in a reasonable time frame.

ENGINE, STRUCTURE
The contact owns a 2022 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 42 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power and shut off. The driver pulled over safely and shifted into park(P), but the vehicle was difficult to restart. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated after the failure. On another occasion, while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle shut off and was difficult to restart. While driving at an undisclosed speed, the sun visor detached from the mount and fell, obscuring the view while driving. Additionally, the rear window seal was cracked, and water was leaking in several spots into the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer on three separate occasions, who was unable to determine the cause of the failure, and the failure recurred. The vehicle was partially diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the window was not covered. The visor was repaired under the warranty. The manufacturer was contacted and extended the warranty coverage. The failure mileage was approximately 9,000.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
my 2022 Ram Laramie 1500 is experiencing repeated issues with the Uconnect 8.4 system going into a mode where the screens continually change resolution which can not only be distracting but not allow me to use the controls on the screen, this also results in my rear view camera freezing or going back screen while trying to back up losing the visibility.. this has been happening for several months. to correct the issue i have to turn the truck off and exit the vehicle. return a short time later and start the vehicle and the issue is cleared for a few days until it does it again. its almost like its trying to install an update and failing causing it to "freak out" then it will seem to try again in a few days. sometimes if i am unable to stop and shut the truck off i have to turn off the screen to avoid distraction from the constantly changing screen especially at night this is very distracting.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES
The uconnect 4 system that controls everything on the vehicle will randomly reboot while being driven, disabling safety systems like reverse cameras during the reboot, and leaving the UI for uconnect incomplete after restart is completed so vehicle settings are not available until vehicle has been turned off for over 10 minutes. I believe that this is due to bugged wifi drivers since it seems to reboot when it tries to connect to android auto. I have video of a reboot showing my truck in reverse for exponentially longer than the required two seconds for the camera to come on but it is too large to upload here.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
While driving into town, the dashboard illuminated with every warning light before the vehicle suffered a total electronic and engine shutdown. This happened twice—the second time while I was mid-turn in an intersection. Several vehicles had to slam on their brakes to avoid a high-speed collision with my stalled truck. I had to get the vehicle towed as it is fundamentally unsafe to operate.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
There have been systemic cylinder misfires (each cylinder), anomalous electrical architecture behavior, and transmission calibration irregularities. The check engine light indicated multiple cylinder misfires, which I understand from the dealer is a common issue with the 2025 model. As the driver, there are a few major issues: Chassis Vibration-pronounced shaking or shuddering transmitted through the steering wheel and seat, particularly during the first engine start of the day or idling. Idle Instability-An erratic or surging idle, where the tachometer needle fluctuates noticeably without any throttle input. Throttle Hesitation-A distinct stumble, lethargy, or loss of power when attempting to accelerate from a stop or while merging. It also requires more energy to accelerate, and stops faster. This problem has been addressed at three (3) CDJR dealerships now, and is still ongoing. The car only has 26k miles on it.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Ram recall 03D, NHTSA-26V-059. The Ram dealer stated replacement "trailer control modules" will be installed in unsold units first, not existing owners of sold units. My vehicle has NOT been repaired. The Ram app states my recall issue is resolved- it is not. I cannot safely and legally tow my trailer because of this issue. Stellantis needs to be held accountable as the manufacturer WAS aware of this issue before I was allowed to purchase the truck.

SEAT BELTS
Safety put at risk. I noticed that the rear locking seatbelt on the driver side has never been connected to the bolt on the floor which was provided for the attachment. Factory oversight perhaps. What brought it to my attention was that it appeared to be "stretched" in appearance which looked peculiar. I proceeded to lift up the rear seat exposing the dangling locking side of the belt. It appeared that is was brand new, no bolt or washer scratches etc., indicating that it was never attached from the factory. The date below will be the date I noticed that it was not attached.

ENGINE
The oil pan on my 2021 Ram1500 has premature severe corrosion. When the oil pan fails, oil will drain to the roadway causing hazard to other vehicles and cause catastrophic engine damage disabling the vehicle. I tried to contact Ram about the issue to raise concern about this material failure and they would not take my concern/complaint. A quick search reveals this problem is extremely common. The repair quote is slightly over 1500 to replace the oil pan. Something needs to be done. A recall needs issued and a fix provided for all affected vehicles.

Feb 02, 2026 Manufacturer Recall Number03D NHTSA Recall Number26V-059 Recall StatusRecall Incomplete Summary The trailer turn signal will not flash when the vehicle turn signal lever is actuated and the trailer stop lamps will not be activated upon application of the vehicle service brakes. In addition, if equipped, the trailer brakes will not function. Safety Risk Trailer lighting that is not illuminated may result in an approaching vehicle being unaware of the change of direction or speed of the vehicle and trailer which may cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. The loss of trailer brakes can also cause a vehicle crash without a prior warning. Remedy FCA US LLC will conduct a voluntary safety recall to replace the trailer tow module. The manufacturer (warranty service provider) informed me of this safety recall on February 10, 2026 and advised me to get it repaired soon. I called the dealership where I purchased the new vehicle to set up an appointment for repair: Jim Browne Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram in Dade City, FL. However, their service department was not available, even though there was approximately 15 minutes remaining for their scheduled hours. The representative told me they consistently leave early. I called back when the service department was finally available and was told they are unable to repair the issue related to the safety recall. I notified the manufacturer of the problem with Jim Browne Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram. The representative was unable to help me and escalated the issue to someone else. I was finally contacted this week by a different representative from the manufacturer, but he has not been able to help either. I was advised to contact your organization and then an attorney if your organization cannot help in this matter. I am appalled by the service I’ve received regarding my Ram truck situation and that the dealership and manufacturer do not care about safety issues. I’ve never had problems like this with my other automobiles.
