Most Common Problems with the 2022 RAM 1500
Owners of 2022 RAM 1500 trucks lodged a total of 43 complaints with the National Highway Traffic Administration (NHTSA) between December 7, 2021 and October 1, 2022. A total of 14 components and systems are involved in the complaints, including a couple filed under the Unknown or Other category.
Looking at numbers on the NHTSA website, at face value it looks as if more than half complaints (23) are about the engine. Other components and systems with high complaint numbers are the electrical system, with 17, and powertrain, with 10. But there is a major crossover of complaints, with a large number of them being listed in 2 or 3 categories.
A closer look shows that engine complaints often include brake issues. Most commonly, the RAM 1500 loses power and stalls, sometimes when the driver is accelerating. Typically, the emergency brakes engage. If you are experiencing engine issues, you can find more information on our RAM 1500 Engine Stalling post.
Electrical problems are also included in engine-related complaints.
Similarly, brake issues are often filed consecutively under engine and electrical system complaints. Powertrain issues are commonly combined with engine, electrical, and brake problems. There are also brake problems mentioned in complaints filed under forward collision avoidance.
Combined with these many problems, many NHTSA complaints state that dealerships can’t solve problems and claim that the vehicles taken to them don’t have any issues.
Issues with the Brakes
There are only 4 complaints filed under the Service Brakes category. However, there are at least another 15 complaints that mention brake problems. This is because, as mentioned above, many complaints combine brake problems with other component or system issues.
Immediately after leaving a stop light and making a left turn into a blind corner, A New Hampshire owner nearly had a crash. “The vehicle suddenly lost motive power and activated the braking system causing the vehicle to abruptly stop in an intersection. During the failure an approaching vehicle had to swerve to avoid a collision with the vehicle.”
Typical Engine Problems
Stalling is a common complaint, which many say results in the RAM 1500 emergency brakes kicking in. There is a general consensus among consumers that this problem is particularly bad in RAMs with the hybrid eTorque system.
Other issues include vehicles losing power, stalling when accelerating, and the tow haul mode causing RAMs to be stuck in third gear. An owner from Tennessee states that her 2022 RAM 1500 lost motive power while her son was driving on a busy freeway. He couldn’t restart the vehicle and was towed to the local dealer. At the time of the complaint, the cause of the failure hadn’t been determined.
An owner from New York hit a motorcyclist after the RAV accelerated out of control when the driver tried to brake. “I thought I killed the guy on the motorcycle – luckily he was ok. Seems like the gas pedal was pressing itself.”
There are 3 complaints about tow haul mode problems. It causes the vehicle to get stuck in third gear, and it appears there is no fix. It’s a software problem with all RAM 1500 vehicles with eTorque. So, for now, the manufacturer is advising customers not to use this feature.
Stalling Followed by Automatic Emergency Braking
This is potentially the biggest issue of all.
A consumer from Florida complains that his problems started two days after taking possession of his leased 2022 RAM 1500 Big Horn V6 eTorque. The car stalled while reversing out of the driveway and automatically engaged the emergency brake. A message, Auto Park Disabled was displayed. Since it was such a new vehicle, he thought he had touched something accidentally. But the sales rep said he’d never heard of this issue.
“I DO NOT FEEL SAFE in this vehicle. I’ve read on other online forums that this type of RAM engine eTorque has given many drivers problems, some (of whom) have had their vehicles stall in the expressway. I find it disingenuous that Dodge/Ram has not taken care of this issue sooner or set out to recall these unsafe vehicles with the eTorque engine. My kids are not allowed to ride in my truck until this issue is fixed. If it persists…I will enforce my Lemon Law rights in the State of Florida to have the manufacturer take back the truck.”
An owner from Kansas also reports a stalling problem. The complaint was filed in July 2022.
“Vehicle stalls randomly while driving and automatically applies the emergency brake. Stalling randomly and applying the emergency brake in the street/highway with traffic is dangerous and unsafe. This is our primary vehicle and the dealership has been unable to recreate the stalling. The vehicle has been to the dealership twice for stalling but the problem is still unresolved.”
Problems with the Electrical System
Considering all of the high-tech equipment included with 2022 RAM trucks, one would assume that the electrical system is up to par, but many owners say that it’s not.
There are 4 complaints in the Electrical System category plus another in Unknown or Other.
An owner from South Carolina had his RAM at the dealership 4 times during the first 5,804 miles for electrical-related issues. Also, once for a recall on the electric control module (ECM). The first major problem was at about 400 miles.
“The truck shut off at a light, even with the stop/start deactivated, and attempted to restart without success. The starter engaged but the injectors did not. It made a diesel sound until I pressed the start button again to retry, It had a CIL for injector bank misfire, then started back as normal. I drove straight to the dealer (within 2 miles) where they kept it for a week. They called and told me to come to pick it up because there were no issues with it. Apparently, the computer had no stored codes or history.”
Since then the problems have gotten worse. “The most current issue is when I was pulling away from a stop sign and the truck shifted to park and set the brake while shutting off on its own. Again stop/start was deactivated.” And there’s still no solution.
There have also been complaints on forums. For instance, a customer wrote this statement on RAM forum. “I’ve had my 2022 RAM 1500 Laramie for a little over a month. 1,200 miles on it. 12” Uconnect screen has gone black and check engine light is on. Is THIS what I have to look forward to?”
Problems with the Steering
There’s no doubt that the Ram is a larger vehicle, requiring more care when steering. However, a defective steering system isn’t needed and only makes the situation worse, yet that’s what drivers are dealing with.
Another customer wrote this on Ram Forum. “It just seems loose and like you are always making subtle corrections to keep it in the lane.”
While there are no communications showing how to resolve the problem, all of this seems a little reminiscent of the dreaded death wobble. Is it possible that the trucks are going to suffer from this infamous problem yet again? Some people have found that changing the tires tends to help the situation, but this isn’t something that should be dealt with on a new truck, especially for the high price of this one. The only path that this Ram is going to “forge” is to the top of the list of defective trucks. In a few years, the 2022 Ram will be listed as a model to avoid.

| Description | my 2022 ram-1500 v6 etorque truck has stalled 5 different times. Each time it happened after I had been driving 10 minutes or up to 1hr. Each time I was stopped at an intersection or in stop and go traffic. Twice I was able to restart it in less than 1 min. One time was a few minutes. The other two times it would not restart after several minutes. The sales person suggested I get out of the truck then lock it and unlock it. After 5 to 15 minutes I was able to restart it. In both cases I had to exit the truck in traffic to lock and unlock it. In all 5 cases I was in traffic when this happened. This problem first occurred a few weeks (480 miles) after I bought the truck. The truck is now into a dealer service shop for a second time for this problem. So far they have not been able to diagnose the problem. |

| Description | My 2022 ram 5. 7 with etorque (25k miles) decided to park itself in the middle of a state highway. I was coming to a stop at a light and heard some beeping noises from the truck, I looked down and it was trying to put the truck into park while my wheels were still turning. Once I was around 2-3 mph it jammed into park and applied the parking brake. I couldn't move the knob to drive, and my battery light lit up on the dash. I had to turn the truck off and back on again to get it out of park. The truck almost didn't seem to want to turn back on and when I put it in drive, the engine started sputtering and the battery light remained on. I gassed it and barely managed to make my turn without stalling into oncoming traffic because the engine kept acting like it was going to die. I stopped in a parking lot for a few minutes, kept the truck running and started back home. While the engine stopped sputtering it still didn't seem to drive quite right- the truck was surging a little when it shifted and it still had the battery light on. Once I got home (like a mile away) I turned it off and back on a few times with no further issues. Possibly unrelated but I have also been to 3 ram dealers to try and fix my engine tapping/knocking noise (and sometimes rough idle - maybe lifter related). It's so loud I can hear knocking from inside my truck and from 15-20 feet away in a parking lot. All three dealers stated it was normal, which (obviously) it is not. I've also had issues with electrical burning smells coming from my engine bay, as well as a leaky rear window (probably over the battery pack). Ram needs to acknowledge the safety issues and mechanical failures and fix them immediately before someone gets hurt, or worse. I have read dozens of reports from this site of trucks parking themselves in the middle of the road and so far nothing seems to be done about it. I have footage on my dash-cam, if they would like to reach out and see what exactly happened. |

| Description | After reviewing all the correct settings to engage alert and braking on the ram limited the vehicle under no circumstances will provide an alert or engage braking. In 4 months and 4,000 miles of driving several errant drivers have come within a foot of the truck and several pedestrians have stepped in front of our path. It will not alert to any issues. I opened a case with stelantis and they have the nerve to say you can call after a wreck and tell us later if it failed. They have no testing allowed and no software to calibrate. Many people on ram forums even in my home town of san diego are making this same claim. We have the feature on our older mercedes and it works very nicely and is something we paid a great deal extra for. Stelantis is hiding behind a known issue and both dealers that have tried to diagnose it were told to send the truck home as is. This feature saves lives it's a priority feature. Just today after leaving the dealer 60 miles from our house a car changed 4 lanes in front and I had to slam on the brakes. No intervention from the truck happened. |

| Description | My vehicle is equipped with a dial for gear shifting. While stopped at a light I was adjusting the radio. As I took my foot off the brake but before I placed it on the accelerator I was also moving my hand from the radio controls back to the steering wheel. During the transition it brushed across the shifting dial causing the vehicle to shift from drive to reverse. I feel this could have caused an accident had I not realized what I had done and put my foot on the accelerator. |

The wheel and suspension systems have been attempted to be repaired multiple times by two different chrysler dodge dealerships. To no avail, no resolve. In fact while I was driving the highway after picking up the vehicle this last time, the tailgate opened and triggered the backup camera emergency brakes. We stopped instantly in the middle of the highway. We didn't hear or know about a recall until three weeks later when we got a letter in the mail. The dealer we purchased the vehicle from did not reach out. All of the problems associated with the truck have been acknowledged by the dealer, second opinion dealership, and chrysler. The vehicle is a lemon. |

| Description | Purchased the vehicle new, after 10,000 miles driving without any problem I hooked up my truck to my snowmobile trailer to tow it on december 21, 2022 for the first time during the evening hours. I setup my vehicles trailer settings to light duty electric brake settings mode and began pulling my trailer. I just turned left onto the road coming up onto a stop sign going slow the vehicle stalled and the emergency truck brakes turned on and the truck shifted into park. I then placed the truck into tow mode and got onto the expressway without an issue, when I turned off of the expressway I slowly turned right into a business and the truck stalled, emergency brakes went on and truck went into park. I called la fontaine dealership whom I purchased the truck from, and they could not inspect it for 1 month. I dropped the truck off to them on jan 16 and finally was able to pick it back up on the 20th evening. They did not test with a trailer, and I was told that everything was working properly. I opened a case number with chrysler [xxx] and was told on jan 25th that they spoke with the dealership and there is nothing more they can do, and if there are any more issues take it to a dealership. I have not pulled this trailer again with my vehicle in fear that it will stall and stop on the road creating an accident. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |

| Description | Sometimes when I go to come to a stop, my truck stalls, engages the parking brake and shift itself into park. This happens before the truck comes to a complete stop and has happened at least half a dozen times. The check engine light has stayed on after a re-start of the vehicle and when this happens the charging light comes on also. Safety was put at risk because this could very easily cause a collision at an intersection, thanfully it hasnt yet. The truck goes into the dealer on jan. 31st to look at the issue. No warning lamps or warnings are ever present prior to the system failure. The check engine light stayed on the last time this happened which was last night. |

| Description | The wiring harness on the vehicle is fastened to the frame poorly. I had to reattach it with plastic wire/zip ties in 3 different locations. I brought the truck home from being serviced at a ram dealership and it had a very strong smell of burning plastic when I brought it home. This was not the smell of residual oil but a very definite smell of burning plastic. I brought it to the a different ram dealership the next day to have the oil change corrected in buffalo, mn and they didn't visually see anything from underneath the truck. Since this incident I noticed an oil leak on the front of the engine, another failed plastic wire tie in the engine bay and two others that look as if they will pull from their fastened location. |

| Description | Sat. 7/16/22 ~ 3:05pm (7,427 mi) - while pulling out of my neighborhood onto the main road, the truck abruptly shut itself off, went into park & applied the e-brake with my truck sticking into the roadway about a foot (& another vehicle behind me). Oncoming traffic in the lane was able to go around me still. Thankfully traffic was light and I wasn't stuck further out in the road when it happened… or mon-fri when it's busier. I noticed the “battery†fault symbol on the dash but was able to restart the truck, release the e-brake, and get it in drive again to get going again. During the rest of the 35 min drive to work, I had the digital gauges up on the radio and could see the battery voltage was at 11. 9v - 12. 0v for the entire drive to work. Sun. 7/17/22 ~ 12:15am to 12:45am - after sitting for 8hrs, I came out expecting to need a jumpstart to get home and found the truck started right up. I pulled up the digital gauges on the radio and the dash cluster and saw the battery voltage was at 13. 9v -14. 0v. That seemed weird, but perhaps the 48v li etorque battery recharged the 12v system? During the 35min drive home from work, I noticed the battery voltage continued to drop to 13. 3v, 13,2v, & 13. 0v by the time I got home. Mon. 7/18/22 ~ 7:30am - dropped the truck off to get it looked at/potential issue entered into the system. Dealer kept the truck for a few days, making several small trips with the truck and couldn't replicate the issue. Tue. 12/14/22 ~ 3:03 pm (15,222 miles) - while making a left turn from onto a side road the truck abruptly shut itself off, went into park & applied the e-brake with my truck stuck in the oncoming lane. Oncoming traffic luckily stopped for me to clear the road. Same scenario as before, with the “battery†fault symbol on the dash but was able to start the truck, release the e-brake, and get it in drive again to get going again. During the rest of the 30 min drive the digital gauges show the battery at 11. 8v to 12. 0v. 2hrs later fine. |

| Description | Vehicle is equipped with “e-torque†auto stop/start feature. Was driving vehicle about 20-25 mph on road within grocery store parking lot area and approached stop sign. As I came to a stop the vehicle shut the engine off like normal and as I released the brake (which is when the vehicle automatically starts again) it started and I turned right to have the engine shut off again with no warning. Vehicle came to stop on road with traffic and automatically shifted vehicle into park and set e-brake. I didn't know what happened at the moment and was confused why I lost power. I started the engine again and shifted into drive and deactivated the parking brake. Called dealer immediately after and made an appt for vehicle to be seen. No warning lights persisted after the incident took place. Seems like a very serious safety issue that should be investigated. |

| Description | There were two (2) separate repair orders performed in late july 2022 by dealership on 2022 dodge ram 1500 big horn truck. Afterwards, on 7/21/22 the fire dept responded to our home since new 2022 dodge ram 1500 truck with 1,225 miles was “leaking gasolineâ›½ï¸ from engine compartment. The gasoline leak was pouring out the engine compartment onto the driveway and down into the street. This potential fire 🔥 dilemma occurred just 2 weeks after dealership had replaced “all the fuel injectors†in the engine. This was a dangerous situation my husband and family were put in due to thus defective truck. In addition, since the inception of leasing this truck the mil light blinks constantly with daily notification regarding “powertrain engine malfunctionâ€! Seems very negligent for manufacturer and dealership to have a defective truck that risks the consumer's life and the safety of their family with a fire hazard!🔥 this defective truck had another repair order on nov. 29, 2022 when truck began revving on its own and then lost power on roadway. We had to have the truck towed back to dealership yet again & again. This major defect occurred when the truck lost power while driving and the electrical dashboard oil / transmission indicators were acting erratically. Basically, the repair order indicates that the dealership replaced the same fuel injector that they replaced in back in july 2022 (twice for same replacement part). Lastly,, even after seven repairs the check engine light is continuously going on (indicating never ending mechanical problems). The dealership has never fixed this issue either since the truck is beyond repair. |

| Description | After coming to a stop or near stop (after applying on the brakes), there is a delay in throttle response and acceleration of between 1-3 seconds. This is a potential safety hazard because if a car is delayed in throttle, it may not be able to properly avoid an accident from behind. There were also a few instances where the car did not respond to the throttle, instead, after a 2 second delay, there was a big jolt which sounded like the car just kicked into gear and thrusted the car forward. |

Second before the shut down, I did notice a battery light come up and then the vehicle was inoperable. Vehicle wouldn't start back up and had to be towed to the nearest manufacturer dealership. Wasn't even able to put in neutral to push it to a more convenient spot as everything is locked up. Vehicle is still in service as mechanics are unaware of what the issue is. This is a major safety concern because it turned off while driving on the road with no warning signs. Had this happened while I was driving on a fast moving highway, this could have ended much worse. |

Rpms on the tach will jump from 1,500 to over 3,000 and rumble spit, stumble and sputter anywhere from 10 to 40 seconds before it ultimately settles out and idles out. Vehicle has been into the dealership now twice to be serviced and they won't fix it. First time the dealer said, "no codes, there is nothing wrong" and gave it back to me. I took a video of the issue called the dealership back, showed them the video and asked them to fix it. They then kept the truck for a full week. During that time, they acknowledged that 7 of 8 cylinders misfired on startup but that they could not find a fix for the issue. They stated that I probably had bad gas and that I should try different gas. I tried gas from numerous stations and always use 91 octane and the issue is still there on every start up. I'm afraid to drive my vehicle any distance from home or overnight as I may get stranded, and I have kids. |

| Description | I was at a complete stop awaiting a draw bridge to lower. I put my vehicle in park. When the cars in front of me started to move I put my foot on the brake and turned the knob to drive. My vehicle immediately accelerated out of control. I immediately pressed both feet on the brake as hard as I could and the vehicle kept moving. I hit a guy on a motorcycle and swerved left as hard as I could. I traveled another 150-200 feet and was quickly approaching a gate at a local factory when my vehicle stopped three feet in front of the gate. I thought I killed the guy on the motorcycle- luckily he was ok. The witness behind me described the incident exactly as I did too. I contacted daimler chrysler and opened up a case with them. Seems like the gas pedal was pressing itself and I could over power it. |

| Description | Hello. I leased a 2022 ram 1500 big horn v6 "etorque" on wednesday aug. 24th from planet dodge in doral florida. On the second day (friday the 26th) I noticed when reversing out of my driveway, the car automatically stalled and engaged the emergency brakes, on the screen it displayed "auto park disabled," since I had just gotten the truck and not used to it's new features, I thought it was something I accidentally touched or pushed. I had to turn off the truck and restart it. Now on wednesday august 31st, while getting to a stop light (speed around 15-20 mph) the car automatically stalled and engaged the emergency brakes again and the display read "auto park disabled." now I'm on a busy street, I had to turn off the truck and re-start it. I was very perplexed and alarmed at the same time because I was about to get on the expressway to head home. I instantly called my sales rep and told him the issues, he asked if the car displayed any codes. I told him no, just "auto park disabled"... He said he's "never' heard of this problem before and if it were to happen again to bring it in, I didn't hesitate I made an appointment to have the truck seen asap. I drive my kids to and from school and to after school activities. I do not feel safe in this vehicle. I've read on other online forums that this type of ram engine "etorque" has been given many drivers problems, some have had their vehicles stall in the expressway. I find it disingenuous that dodge/ram has not taken care of this issue sooner or set out to recall these unsafe vehicles with the "etorque" engine. My kids are not allowed to ride in my truck until this issue is fixed. If it persists... I will enforce my lemon law rights in the state of florida to have the manufacturer take back the truck. |

| Description | The truck currently has 5804 miles. It has been to the dealership 4 times already for electrical-related issues, and once for a recall on the ecm. Total of 4 cils by first 1000 miles. Then 1 additional light 8 days ago. Has been at service department since. The first major problem was at apx. 400 miles. The truck shut off at a light, even with the stop/start deactivated, and attempted to restart without success. The starter engaged but the injectors did not. It made a diesel sound until I pressed the start button again to retry, it had a cil for injector bank misfire, then started back as normal. I drove straight to the dealer (within 2 miles) where they kept it for a week. They called and told me to come to pick it up because there were no issues with it. Apparently, the computer had no stored codes or history. Since then it has had a transmission over temp cil, and 2 other lights that did not show me a message. The 12-inch uconnect is constantly having errors and restarting (still awaiting a response from ram on how to remedy it). The most current issue is when I was pulling away from a stop sign and the truck shifted to park and set the brake while shutting off on its own. Again stop/start was deactivated. Restarted the truck and drove straight to the dealer where it was observed by the service writer and manager that the low battery voltage message (11. 5v) and light were on as well as several other lights. While driving it showed a low volt warning and started turning off loads to conserve power. I left the truck with them for 8 days so far. They have checked the truck multiple times as well have driven it. No evidence of any codes in the computer and no error lights anymore. Awaiting ram to tell them what to do. At this point, I am afraid to drive the truck for fear it will shift to park while traveling at a higher speed and cause an accident. I now have a truck I cannot trust to drive and a hefty payment. |

| Description | First incident was power train failure while attempting to accelerate to merge into expressway traffic the vehicle suddenly revved to high rpms and wouldn't gain speed acting like the transmission wouldn't shift out of first gear. Had to pull to the shoulder and turn off the vehicle and restart before it functioned properly. With in half an hour received an email the said I'd experienced powertrain failure. I then noticed the service engine soon light on. By the time I got to the dealer the light went out and they refused to look at the vehicle. 10 days later I started seeing warning show up on the display both in the consul and on the uconnect system. Indicating tire pressure and airbag issues. This is the second vehicle purchase from the same manufacturer and same sale dealership to run such issues. |

| Description | Was sitting at a light (auto engine shut-off was on). When the light turned green, lifted off the break to push the gas to go. Truck shut off, all lights on the dashboard lit up and truck was automatically shifted into park with emergency brake on. Attempted to restart the truck several times. Truck finally started after 8th attempt. Was able to put into drive and made it home. Truck now has check engine light on. Checked the app for an error code. Says: powertrain engine malfunction on may 25th, 2022 @ 0920am. Eobd/injection system failure. Reading online, seems like this is a common safety error and has caused accidents by instantly throwing the vehicle into park without warning and leaving the vehicle inoperable at times. |

| Description | Leased new dodge ram 1500 crew cab big horn v6 (7 miles) on 4/11/2022. Two days later, check engine light came on and dashboard turned on like a christmas tree. Brought to security dodge dealer amityville for service. They said it was “stored code†and turned off. A couple days later mil (malfunction a indicator light) or check engine light came back in. Took to same dealer for 5 days to repair issue to no avail. They said it was programming issue and emphasized “bad fuelâ€. One day later “mil†came back on flashing “check engineâ€. Brought back to dealer again for repair (dodge still there). This all happened from 4/11 thru today, may 10 (with approximately 280 miles). I informed salesman and service that in dodge app it states: “powertrain -engine malfunction eobd /injection system failureâ€. However, nothing has been fixed. Basically, getting run around with chrysler corporate and dealer that they can't fix check engine light and engine problems. This vehicle is not “safe†to drive in the roadway. A real lemon. Pls. Investigate this claim.. This truck has been a nightmare and more importantly not safe to drive. |

| Description | 4 issues. #1 stereo screen says over heating shutting down #2 radio screen turns blue says screen overheating shutting down. Serius radio keeps removing from radio. #3 when braking the car will thrust forward as in a push, pushing you hard into the car stopped ahead of you. The harder the braking the harder the thrust/push. (this is a mager safety concern) its not if you get into a accident it is when. There is a problem with the 2022 ram 1500 braking(either transmission or power train) but it is bad I almost got into several rear end collisions due to the dodges thrust when braking. I spoke to someone else that actually works at the dodge dealership and owns a 2022 dodge ream and he stated his dodge ram has the same issue with the forceful thrust when breaking. This is a major safety issue. #4 electrical. |

| Description | The truck has 647 miles on it and is brand new, I just bought it from the dealer. The truck had been idling in my driveway for a few minutes before I left home, I was in my neighborhood, driving 25-30 mph maximum. I came to a stop sign, stopped and then proceeded to turn left, which takes me down a hill. Approximately 1-2 seconds into the turn, the engine shut off completely, several lights went on the dash and the truck was proceeding downhill until at some point the brakes locked up, pushing me forward into the steering wheel. If anyone was infront of me I did not have control of the truck! The truck brakes were locked and I had to mess around starting it to get them to unlock, the battery indicator was lit and the check engine light was on. I was able to get to the truck restarted and took it to a pool parking lot area and shut it off completely. I was able to get it started again, this time the battery indicator went out and the check engine light stayed on. I have been reading online and see that many,, many people with the ram 1500, most notably the etorque engine version are having the engine shut off with no warning, some at much higher speeds. I took it to the dealer, the "flashed" the computer, but also said the are ordering and replacing the computer which sits atop the etorque engine device. This is very concerning, especially because I see this has happened to others, and has been doing so for several years. I wanted to report this as to me, it seems like a serious safety concern! |

| Description | Right turn from to sign. Seems that start/stop shut off the engine. When brake was lifted the engine started and immediately stalled, e brake came on and battery warning and check engine light illuminated. I got it going again after shifting to park and releasing the parking brake and turned off start/stop. Got a weird drivetrain vibration soon after so I pulled off and turned the engine off. After I got going again it seemed to run fine but the check engine light is still lit. Two errors were thrown and appear in my ram app: charging system failure eobd/injection system failure |

| Description | My ram was purchased in october. Since I have had it there have been multiple electrical problems. Speakers cutting in and out backup camera showing blue screen/ flickers from view to blue screen, and when these things happen it affects the way the engine runs. A few days ago I go in my truck to take off, placed truck in drive and left parking spot. 15 seconds later as I'm driving through the parking lot the emergency break engaged tried to disengage it and it wouldn't release. Shut the truck off and back on and it disengaged. Friday morning is when I left my house for work, as I turned right from the neighborhood at the light the transmission slipped and engine just revved. Again I had to stop and shut off truck as cars were speeding towards my direction. If that has been any other morning when the intersection is busy I would have been in a pretty horrible accident thinking I would be able to take off as normal. |

| Description | While rolling to a stop and turning (3) times and once while slowing for speed bumps my 2022 dodge rebel 5. 7l v8 hemi with e-torque shut off, the emergency brake applied itself and it shifted itself to park. This happened while turning onto a busy street where a bad accident could have happened because of it. There were no warning or indicators prior to the truck shutting off by itself. It has been to the dealership twice with no fix. I have had it for three weeks. |

Brand new 2022 Dodge Ram Rebel ETorque with 3700 miles. Got a light the engine shut off was not working then it would not change gears. Check engine light came on. I hobbled about 3 miles back to a parking lot in a low gear. Shut off the engine and then restarted. Check engine light stayed on but transmission worked ok. I drove 45 miles home, parked for 30 minutes then restarted. Check engine light is off. So far, problem has not returned. This is just enough data point to cause me to lose trust in its reliability.
Stuck in 3rd towing using tow mode I hear no answer what to do I have 2 of these 1500 2022 gts plus remote start fail and towed to dealer. Won’t start truck, did start for 1 week. Both trucks have only 10k miles.
Only had the truck a week. 2022 Laramie with eco boost. Primary reasons I bought it was for comfort and mileage. Mileage advertised at 18mpg city and 22mpg highway. The highest mpg registered on the truck thus far has been 15.1mpg and is normally in the 14mpg range. Very dissapointing.
2022 Ram 1500 Laramie Crew cab 4×4
Bought brand NEW with 26 miles on it.
Drove it home 300 miles.
Dropped $1600 in step rails and tonneau cover.
Another $2000 in new tires (I live in Montana and the stock tires are crap on snow and ice)
Went through the car wash for the first time at 320 miles. Within 20 min, check engine light came on, then battery light, battery showing 11.5 amps while running.
Drove straight to my local Ram service dealership (Don K ) (I bought it 300 miles away from my home at Dave Smith in Idaho)
Don K service admin guy plugs in a code reader, no codes.
Check engine light still on, battery light still on, front park sensor saying ‘wipe off sensor’ (its clean and dry)
I show him that my Ram Connect app is showing 2 errors (engine and charging system)
He looks at me like I’m an idiot and doesn’t know what to tell me because his code reader isn’t reading anything…
Local dealership is garbage. Horrible customer service. Zero effort to put me in a loaner vehicle.
‘May not get to it til next week’
I had to rent a car out of pocket (hopefully be reimbursed by Ram at a later date)
WTF?!? Seriously?!?!
Did I just spend $68,000 on a lemon???
First quad cab 2021 Laramie did the stall/parking brake thing several times, then I was turning into my work project and I got the “Service electronic throttle system’ message on the dash, followed by the truck stalling. The engine would turn over but not start, so I had to have it towed to a dealership. Dealership claims that it had diesel fuel put in it, which it most certainly did not. I was transferred with work and am now in a 2021 Laramie crew cab, which I have been driving for 10 days and it has already done the stall/parking brake thing once and the electric running boards have issues as well when they randomly won’t go up or down but get stuck in the middle.
Bought my 2022 Laramie RAM truck April 6, 2022, no issues at all,, great truck, as far as I’m concerned.
2022 Ram 1500 Laramie with ETorque engine. 2500 miles, flat road, no climb, no descent, flat, engine started rumbling, truck started shaking, LOTS of loud noises from engine, stall, charging light comes on, get a message of “Check Electronic Throttle Control”, start pulling to the side of the road, just get to the grass and the whole tuck locks up sliding into the field (grassy area). Brought to dealer. Get a call today, “we have to rip the engine down after we do a compression test to check the sleeves (I think is what was said). Ask if it’s the engine, no real “commitment” to the answer, LOL, but he says, “let’s say a new engine is a possibility at the worst case”.
We’ll see.
What would you do??
Infotainment system on my 12 inch display. For the 2022 Dodge Ram 2022 is awful. 50% of the time it glitches to the point now I mainly use my radio. Horrible
2022 Ram 1500 sport 5.7 Hemi and 8 speed transmission and 12 inch Uconnect. Within first week with only 90km on truck stereo went black and moving truck forward at slow speed truck seemed to “Lunge forward”. With brake applied it seemed like it just wouldn’t stop. Has done this a few times in the 5 months I’ve owned it. Seems like downshifting/up shifting issue. Like the truck doesn’t know what gear it should be in so it guesses wrong. A couple times it just would t stop and lunges forward about 15 ft. Last weekend while my girlfriend was driving it, she struck a building because the truck wouldn’t stop while manoeuvring in a parking lot. Now there’s damage caused by this unsafe issue and it’s been at the dealer for a week now. I’ve brought the truck in prior to this incident to have this addressed to be told there’s no updates to correct issue. Still waiting to find out if they can figure out what’s wrong. Truck has only 6000km. Truck seems to upshift to 2nd and shifts hard going to 1st and rpm increases and truck will lunge forward uncontrollably. Not sure what to do but Ram should be paying for damage and fix issue considering I’ve already brought it in to have it fixed.

Bought truck with 12 miles now 1000 on it
I love my eco diesel best truck I ever had almost 700 miles to one tank on highway.plenty of power great truck 30 thousand and not one problem.
Ive had my new 2022 1500 limited night edition 1 week and when I start it theres a noise coming from the front of car and it lasts a few minutes and goes away??
New Ram 2022 1500 Laramie. 2,500km and the truck shuts down while in motion. SOS Button wouldn’t work. Luckily I had enough cell service to call a tow truck. I waited 3 weeks to find out that piston #7 failed, which caused catastrophic engine damage. Now the engine needs to be replaced. As far as I know it will be covered by warranty but I’m stuck paying for a truck I can’t drive, and the engine is on backorder, could be weeks, could be months. This is the second Engine to fail on me this year. I had a 2018 Ram 1500 with 177,000 km that needed the engine replaced. Hence the new truck.

Not able to feather the brakes when coming to a stop brakes are aggressive and grabs and unable to slow down smoothly and a rumbling sound and vibrating when brakes are applied
I bought new 2022 Ram Bighorn Lonestar and day one the SiriusXM did not work. Says antenna problem. Put in shop 2nd day. Service department says antenna wired wrong. Now 900 miles and the same problem again with antenna. The back up camera comes on and immediately turns off. Not fixed yet.
Bought a 2022 Dodge Ram GT addition. 7000 miles in completely shut down on the highway in triple didgets with the kids. Gets towed in told its a computer issue. Pick it up 4 days later alerts back on and now scared to drive.

Bought a brand new 2022 Ram Big Horn 1500 5.7 liter hemi with 6 miles on Feb 5 2022. It is dead as of June 20 2022 with 6,000 miles. Battery dead. Either bad battery, alternator or sensor is my guess. Something is draining the battery. Should NOT have this issue already. Would not recommend Ram trucks. Had a 2019 Ram 1500 classic with 5.7 liter hemi 4×4 & had the front passenger side wheel bearing go bad.
2022 Ram 1500 Laramie 13k miles on it and the radio dash goes off and on at a wim. Now the check engine light on, dealer reset the computer and back at the dealer 3 days later. Injection code on the phone app. Appears to be the same issue on all newer models. Such a disapoi
Brand new 2022 Rebel under 1500 miles started throwing a dash full of service lights whe it rained got it in they changed out rear wheel sensors… also trouble with phone linking to stereo systems and back up camera willfreese and not go off until I pull.over park and restart.
22 Ram Rebel E-Torque, transmission on downshifts is harsh and aggressive. When coming to a slow stop or even quick stops the truck is unpredictable and feels like a manual transmission when you pop the clutch. The thing will turn itself off as your rolling to a stop and then lunge forward before you can even stop. The SiriusXM antenna has not worked at all. The gas pedal/electronics are terrible and it stumbles from every stop!! Borderline dangerous when trying to make turns as it hesitates and nearly stalls for a split second, then you accelerate like a tool, no control at all. I regret this purchase…..
1600 miles beeping codes on read out 2200 same replace radio that one did not work they put old one back in and said they reprogram it now same thing warining ect 2022 ram 54 k very unhappy
5k on 2022 1500 laramie. All highway driving and it just jumped gears on me. Lost power to accelerator. Put its delft into park with electrical ignition warning. CEL is on now.
2022 Dodge ram 1500 brand new off the lot and My AC did not work. Then My stereo unit say Uconnect battery needs to be replaced. Then I get a notification on my phone app saying there is a airbag failure and tire sensor failure. My truck has less then 2000 miles on it and the first payment is not even due yet. Dodge says they are reviewing if I qualify for a buy back. I am really disappointed to say the least. They also told me that I could be charged a storage fee if I did not pick up my vehicle from the dealer that I feel unsafe driving.
Chrysler advertises 18-22 mpg for RAM 1500 Hemi 5.7L V-8 e torque engine and I have had it for 2200 miles driving ALL highway AND combination… and I’m ONLY getting 14mpg!!!! I even have a bigger fuel tank! How can they get away for falsely advertising this range? Also getting a gas smell from the grill when I park it… it’s brand new… just picked up my Limited Longhorn on March 4, 2022.
brand new 2022 dodge ram 1500 right off the lot with 10 miles electrical issues including radio shutting down with screen saying (screen shutting down overheating). problems with the electrical also defrost.. another problem is either the transmission or the drivetrain whenever i come to a fast stop the car pushes forward. Several times almost hitting car Infront of me at stop signs.
I have heard that dealers and manufacturers are selling the 2022 knowing they are not right especially electronically and knowing the buyer will bring them back and have them repaired hoping they have the proper chips or electronics come in. I heard this from a friend whom is a salesman for a car dealer. So the dealer and manufacturer are knowingly selling sub par new vehicles.
425 miles on my 2022 Dodge Ram Rebel GT. Owned for 3 weeks. Keeps stalling at stops. Check engine light on. “Injection system failure” shows up on phone app. Low battery indicator showing 11.5 VDC when vehicle running. After it stalls and I restart battery jumps up to 13.7 VDC for awhile then back down to 11.5 then stalls at next stop. Towed back to home on a Sunday.
Brand new 2022 ram 1500 rebel eco diesel, from New Brunswick Canada, first tank of gas and how RAM boasts about 1600 km’s to a tank of diesel fuel… THATS GARBAGE!
I have less than 100 km showing on the expected mileage gauge and 560 actual km’s on the brand new truck. I will be lucky to get 800KM’s to this piece of crap. The reason i bought it was for mileage and how RAM can get away with the lies it spews is beyond me, I have no choice but to keep this truck for a bit but 800kms difference on the first tank of gas is not a good showing to me. I will be getting rid of it ASAP! The actual dealer where i bought the truck are as professional as i have met and not their fault this garbage truck does what it does. I sent my evaluation to Chrysler by email and of course will NEVER EVER hear back from them because they are lairs and should be taken to court for publishing garbage lies to customers
