NHTSA Complaint #11558775 — 2022 RAM 1500

The vehicle is equipped with an Auto Start/stop that turns the vehicle off when in the Drive position if the vehicle is sitting still for a period of time. This kicks on at every stoplight and every time the vehicle is sitting still with my foot on the break for longer than about 10 seconds. The vehicle will turn off but will not restart. It will try until the battery is drained to the point the low battery indicator comes on. In the instance that the vehicle does start it chugs along for 15-20 feet and then dies again. This has pushed me into the middle of intersections and then died. It has done it to me while making a left hand turn which puts me directly into oncoming traffic. It has done this while emergency vehicles are behind me and prevents me from getting out of the way. It has done it to me while merging onto the highway. I have had the vehicle in the shop 4 times in the last month and a half and even after the issue is “corrected” it malfunctions again. The Star Engineers from Chrysler have had the vehicle under diagnostics for over a month and still can’t pinpoint the problem. The dealership has informed me the issue is not fixable, and Ram has told me that they are not taking ownership of the problem and that I should be patient for it to be fixed. We will now be escalating this to a legal issue. I’d like it noted that I have multiple videos of the vehicle malfunctioning and how it locks the truck up.
