2020 RAM 1500 Electrical System Problems

Engine shuts down on stop. Normal. But sometimes when I take my foot off the pedal, the starter grinds unusually long and when the engine does restart the vehicle lunges forward. As my foot is instinctively on the accelerator, this sometimes could cause a rear end collision with another vehicle. This scenario has twice caused the engine light to come on. No related codes detected by dealer. The issue did present itself during a test drive with a dealer mechanic. He reset the codes to out the light. No code or solution suggested.

Rear window and 3rd brake light leaking multiple times. Rear window replaced multiple times. rear window leaked this time causing an electrical short draining my battery and cause certain electronic parts of the truck not to work properly. Cracks it rear window are extremely prevalent on this vehicle and it is a known issue yet there hasn't been permanent adequate fix by the manufacturer and isn't covered once warranty runs out. the problem is a composite frame to the window that is going to crack no matter what due to temperature changes and flex in the body of the vehicle.

2020 RAM 1500 with etorque. Truck 12v battery goes dead every 2-3 days. This was caused by a leak in the rear window allowing water to gather behind the rear seat resulting multiple issues including loss of control of navigation system, heater and radio. Dealer states water caused electrical shorts in canbus resulting in multiple system failures.

I was driving my car west on Sunnyside Ave just before Se 132nd ave at approximately 40 MPH. My truck then abruptly turned off and I lost all power. I coasted safely into the left turn lane and kept the brake on. The truck was completely unresponsive to restarting and there was no function of the start button. There was power in the battery but the engine and dash computer were non functioning. The truck needed to be towed to the dealership where it is located currently at Ron Tonkin Dodge/ram/keep service center at 16800 SE McLoughlin Blvd, Milwaukie, OR 97267. Currently no diagnosis as of 1136 on Friday January 20th.

While I was driving my vehicle just completely shutdown. I lost power steering and had to pull over to the side of the road. I pressed the start button and nothing happened. I continued to try pressing it and it finally started back up, and I drove home. A couple days later I tried starting it and it wouldn't start. Finally it started and I drove it about 100 miles. I got in it the following day and it won't start again. I'm concerned that the vehicle could shutdown on me again while driving.

Constant problems with the 12” screen and radio since day 1.LOTS of discussions online about all the problems with the screen locking up when searching for a SiriusXM signal. This become a safety issue because I can’t turn down or up volume for warnings or traffic data etc. I’ve gone to dealership multiple times and they’ve even replaced the radio without success. I’ve spends at least 60 hours over the course of 2 years taking to dozens of people at at least four different companies or groups. Depending on who you talk to you will get different information. This needs to be a forced recall because it is. It an isolated incident and is widespread.

Electric power steering failure at 36,000 miles. Warranty ended at 35,000

Brakes grind at random and brake pedal when pressed goes to the floor resulting in having to let off brake pedal and pump it back up which has caused me to nearly hit vehicles at stop signs, stop lights or heavy traffic. Information center also keeps going out and when that happens my power steering has also went out causing issues with steering.

The BSM service notice triggered a shut down of all controls associated with front windows and climate control. The UConnect system shuts down completely and the climate system defaults to defrost with fans going to max and the heat turned up to Maximum temp. With front windows control disabled you are unable to lower or raise windows and with Uconnect shut off there is no way to turn off the heat. This takes place while driving. You are literally cooking inside the vehicle The BSM service light came on to indicate service needed on a sensor located in the tail light assembly. That notification triggered the electrical malfunctions of the other systems. After sitting for 12 hours the truck systems would reset. As soon as I started driving the same sequence of events would take place again. I repeated this every day for 4 days while waiting to turn this...

Truck goes into limo mode randomly then stalls out. Freeway, streets, stopping, idling. All lights come on and throttle warning text shows on display.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, the heater was activated however, antifreeze splattered the windshield. The contact stated that no warning light was illuminated. The contact drove the vehicle home and scheduled an appointment with the dealer. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

At a speed of 45mph, my truck completely shut down. No power on anything. I was able to pull off the road and come to a stop; power brakes and steering were not operable. Once stopped, the truck would not start. "Push to Start" indicator on dash did come on, but the brake pedal was stiff and the push to start button did nothing. Got out of the truck, exterior door lock button was inoperable and both key fobs did nothing. Had to have the vehicle towed.

This incident happened to me yesterday afternoon around 3pm in Syracuse. The rear heated/slider window exploded when driving causing glass to shatter outward from the cabin. I pressed the breaks when I heard the explosion and was fortunate no one was in front because there was ice on the road. Shattered glass was propelled outward but no vehicles were behind me, i was doing 50 on a 55, weather conditions were not great: 20 degrees and snowing pretty bad. I called the a dealership in Syracuse and they said they don't provide warranty to glass and to call the insurance. The insurance referred me to a shop in Syracuse (Safelite). The shop took me in and covered the area with a plastic wrap and told me that the glass won't get in unit l 5 days due to glass shortage. They also said they had a Chevrolet Silverado and a...

I was trying to back out of my driveway and when I shifted to R my backup camera was black. I tried several times and no luck to get it to work. Googled it and it seems to be a common problem for RAM.

While I was driving warning lights came up on the dash. Traction control, parking brake warning, red voltage. When I exited the freeway, and used the brakes to slow down , the truck was accelerating at the same time . I let go of all the pedals, and the acceleration continued with no feet on pedals . When I got to work, I put it in park . Took it out of park, and the truck started accelerating again on its own at a fast rate. Put it in park, put it in reverse, and the truck started accelerating fast again, in reverse, until I slammed on the brakes to stop the acceleration and put it into park . This is the second time. First time was few months ago, same issue. Dealer looked at it, couldn’t duplicate it, cleared the codes and said if it happens again they’ll have...

I am experiencing electrical issues when driving the vehicle. On six different occasions, the truck has shut off entirely (no electrical/mechanical control) and have been stranded on the side of the road. Each time it seems the vehicle has to wait for something to clear or reset and then sporadically everything comes back on. I have taken the truck to the dealership and they have replaced a "broken hood latch" and the truck is currently at the dealership waiting on a technician to look at it. There are no specific conditions that I can say that is causing this issue to occur. It's happened while driving my son to school, where the truck shut off while at a stop sign. It also happened while driving down the highway doing about 75mph. Each time the vehicle is in some type of motion (5-75 mph) and just goes "dead" and then comes...

My 2020 Ram 1500 truck's dash lights, instrument panel, and radio screen randomly flash bright then dark, over and over. It is very distracting and a potential safety hazard especially when driving at night as the flashing changes quickly by going from bright to dark and back and forth. This lighting or electrical issue is very distracting while driving. This occurs randomly while driving, while stopped, and while driving at different speeds. This issue typically occurs on a daily basis, and happens more often on some days than others. I took the truck into the dealer and they had my truck for a week, but could not determine or fix the problem. There are no vehicle error codes showing in the computer, and I have shown them several video recordings of the flashing lighting that has occurred. For as much as this vehicle costs, this should not happen, and when...

Operating the vehicle at 35mph on a standard city street in Tucson, Az - River Rd. The vehicle flashes a system failure warning and then shuts off all power to the truck. This results in the transmission being thrown back into park and the driver having zero control over the vehicle. There are multiple online reports of this being fairly common on 2020/2021 Dodge Rams. The vehicle is being returned to the dealer, even if it is a minor issue it is a huge safety issue. I had zero control over the vehicle once the warning flashed. The abrupt loss of power and being thrown into a skid with no control is terrifying. Luckily there was no traffic. It is being returned and according to the dealership it will be investigated. Prior to that brief safety warning the truck had operated perfectly fine with no issues all day long with...

On September 14, 2021 I was leaving work, started truck and backed out of parking spot. I had drove off and upon making a left turn the truck went into a stall, screen flashed "place vehicle in park before starting" and then immediately came back on, I did not come to full stop or have to hit the "start" button. I continued driving and the issue has not happened since. The vehicle had over 1/2 tank of gas (89), temperature was in the 90's (Florida) and has no engine modifications. This was concerning for a new vehicle so I looked further into this and discovered that has been happening quite a bit with this particular version of this truck (eTorque). If the vehicle had fully stalled while pulling into traffic, it could be very dangerous. The most troubling aspect is that no engine code or warning light came on regarding...

This is a very serious and dangerous defect that Chrysler and its dealerships cant find or fox the issue. I leased a 2020 Ram 1500 Laramie 5.7 On july 23 2020 i was very happy with the truck for few months and all of a sudden inwas driving and the vehicle completely stalled just like somone has unplugged every power source and i was able to safely stop and the truck wont start again then after 15 minutes I started to see lights on rhe dash again and the vehicle was able to start. I then called my dealership scheduled a service appointment and on jan 25 2020 they confirmed there was an issue with radio hub frequency and it was fixed i was happy again drove for few months then started to happen again this time i almost crashed did the same thing scheduled an appointment took it there...

CHECK ENGINE ON THEN OFF, LIGHTS ALL DASH WARNING LIGHTS ON

ENGINE STALLS AND THE EMERGENCY BREAK ENGAGES WHILE AT A STOP. THE TRUCK (A 2020 RAM 1500 LIMITED, 5.7 HEMI E-TORQUE) HAS ABOUT 700 MILES ON IT AND THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 8 TIMES. THE FIRST 3, 4 TIMES THE DASH MESSAGE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THE HOOD BEING OPENED (IT WASN'T). THE LAST COUPLE OF TIMES THE DASH MESSAGE SAYS SOMETHING LIKE ...SERVICE NOT AVAILABLE. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO TAKE A PHOTO BECAUSE THE MESSAGES DISAPPEAR RATHER QUICKLY AND I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT RE-STARTING THE VEHICLE ASAP BECAUSE I'M STUCK IN TRAFFIC WITH CARS BEHIND ME. THE TRUCK RE-STARTS AS NORMAL AND I'M ON MY WAY. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO RHYME OR REASON WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I COULD GO SEVERAL DAYS AND NOTHING HAPPENS, ALL SEEMS NORMAL, YOU JUST DON'T KNOW WHEN THIS BRAND NEW VEHICLE WILL STALL ON YOU. YESTERDAY IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO ME ON...

WHILE DRIVING MY 2020 RAM 1500 LARAMIE WITH ONLY 5K MILES ON THE ODOMETER, I STOPPED BEHIND A SCHOOL BUS. THE TRUCK'S START/STOP FEATURE ACTIVATED AS IT NORMALLY DOES AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. I PRESSED THE DASHBOARD BUTTON TO DE-ACTIVATE THE START/STOP FEATURE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TRIP. WHEN I DID THIS, A LOUD ELECTRICAL SPARK SOUND OCCURRED AND THE TRUCK COMPLETELY DIED IN THE ROADWAY. ALL POWER WAS LOST, I COULD NOT EVEN ACTIVATE THE HAZARD LIGHTS. THERE WAS A STRONG ODOR OF SOMETHING BURNING IN THE CABIN. NO SMOKE WAS VISIBLE, THOUGH. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO MY DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED AND I AM AWAITING THEIR PHONE CALL WITH THAT INFO.

WELL DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE RAM BOX LID WILL POP OPEN AT ANY TIME EVEN AFTER SECURING THE BOX LID THE LOCKING MECHANISM WILL POP OPEN AND THE LID WILL COME OPEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

THE 2020 RAM UCONNECT 8.4 SCREEN TURNS OFF RANDOMLY AND REBOOTS AND WILL DO IT MULTIPLE TIMES WITHIN A 10-20 MINUTE TIME SPAN. SOMETIMES 3-4 TIMES BACK TO BACK RAPIDLY. I TOOK IT IN AND THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS AN UPDATE AVAILABLE (EVEN WHEN UCONNECT SAID THERE WASN'T) AND THEY FLASHED IT. WHICH RESET ALL OF MY SETTINGS. IT DID IT AGAIN THE SAME DAY. WHICH TELLS ME IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH AN UPDATE ISSUE. PLEASE FIX. NAVIGATION, MEDIA, PHONE CALLS ARE ALL LINKED INTO THIS ONE SYSTEM WHICH CAN BE DANGEROUS WHEN YOU HAVE TO DIVERT YOUR ATTENTION ELSEWHERE TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT WILL HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING, SITTING STILL, PARKED, DURING REMOTE STARTS, ANYTIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SEVERAL DAYS LATER, THE VEHICLE STARTED AS DESIGNED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BAY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (636 15TH ST, PANAMA CITY, FL 32401, (850) 785-1591) WHO WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS FILED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000.

VEHICLE HAS CONSISTENT THROTTLE INPUT RESPONSE LAG. WHEN APPLYING THROTTLE FROM A STANDSTILL THERE IS A 1 TO 1.5 SECOND LAG BEFORE THE ENGINE REVS. THE SAME LAG OCCURS WHEN BUT CAN LAST UP TO 3 SECONDS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO INCREASE ACCELERATION FROM ANY GIVEN ROLLING SPEED. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS AS IT MAKES THE SIMPLE AND FREQUENT CHALLENGE OF CROSSING AN INTERSECTION AND/OR OVERCOMING SLOWER TRAFFIC IMPOSSIBLY DIFFICULT TO ACCOMPLISH SAFELY AND WITHOUT DRAMA/STRESS. DELAYS IN RESPONSE CAUSE THE DRIVERS TO SECOND GUESS THEIR DECISIONS AND ACTIONS. THE RESULT WILL EITHER BE TO LIFT OFF OF THE THROTTLE (AT WHICH POINT THE VEHICLE MAY DECIDE TO ACCELERATE PARTIALLY) OR TO TAKE THEIR EYES OFF OF THE ROAD/TRAFFIC AND CHECK THE INSTRUMENT PANEL (AT WHICH POINT THE VEHICLE MAY THEN DECIDE TO ACCELERATE). IF THERE IS ONCOMING TRAFFIC, PEDESTRIANS OR OTHER OBSTACLES, THIS CAN RESULT IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT, INJURY...

THE RIGHT TURNING SIGNAL INDICATOR WILL RANDOMLY OPERATE WITHOUT BEING MANIPULATED. THE SIGNAL CAN NOT BE TURNED OFF EASILY. SOMETIMES TURNING THE CONTROL TO THE LEFT SIGNAL POSITION WILL TURN OFF THE INDICATOR. SOMETIMES RANDOMLY MANIPULATING THE CONTROL THROUGH ITS MECHANICAL LIMITS WILL TURN OFF THE INDICATOR. THERE IS NO LOGIC OR OBVIOUS VEHICLE CONDITION THAT CAUSES THIS RANDOM OPERATION. I THINK IT'S AN ISSUE WITH INTERFERENCE WITH OTHER VEHICLE WIFI SYSTEMS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY INTERFERING WITH MY VEHICLE BUS CONTROL SYSTEMS. THIS IS A SPORADIC ISSUE AND ONLY HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON THE ROAD IN TRAFFIC.

SOS DOES NOT WORK AND DEALERSHIP AND FCA STATE THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. THE POINT OF THE SOS IS TO ALLERT AUTHORITIES OF AN ACCIDENT. ALSO I AM UNABLE TO USE THE APP AS INTENDED. DEALER STATED THEY ARE WAITING FOR A PATCH TO BE DEVELOPED IN ORDER FOR THIS TO WORK. NO TIME FRAME AND NOT MANY VEHICLES AFFECTED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, SHE SAW INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHICH STATED THAT THE AUTO STOP AND START TORQUE SYSTEMS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE ENGINE AND BATTERY WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED AND TRUCK SHUT-OFF. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO STONE'S CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (615 S YELLOWSTONE HWY, REXBURG, ID 83440 208-497-5121). THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART OF THE MOTOR GENERATOR UNIT TO FIX THE VEHICLE WAS ON BACKORDER AND THERE WAS NO ETA ON WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS REVIEWING THE CASE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 850.

THE 2020 RAM 1500 EXPERIENCED WHILE DRIVING A "DATA BUS FAILURE". THIS FAILURE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LOOSE POWER STEERING, BRAKES, RAMDOM INSTRUMENTATION DISPLAYS, WIPERS TO COME ON, HEADLIGHTS TO COME ON AND OFF. INTERMITANT LOSS OF TROTTLE CONTROL. HAPPENED 4 SEPARATE TIME. HAD SHOP ON 3 OF THE 4 TIMES INDICATE A BAD BATTERY, ASB MODULES AND PCM MODULE. CURRENTLY THEY ARE TRYING TO IDENTIFY A BAD TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AS THE PROBLEM. TOTAL MILE 530 AND ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 50 DAYS. HAD TO BE TOWED TWICE TO THE SHOP AND THE OTHER TWO TIME IT HAPPENED WITH IN A MILE OF THE DEALER. IT SPEND ABOUT 20 DAYS IN THE SHOP ALREADY.

2020 RAM 1500; ETORQUE SYSTEM ISSUES SHUTTING TRUCK OFF TWICE NOW. KILLS BATTERY AND THE TRUCK. MY TRUCK HAS 1400 MILES ON IT AND THE PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER, NO LOANER VEHICLE; UNKNOWN REPAIR TIME. TRUCK FAILED BOTH TIMES WITH TRYING TO REMOTE START THE VEHICLE IT SHUTS RIGHT OFF. THE.N WHEN TRYING PUSH START THE BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON WITH CHECK ENGINE AND BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW ON INFORMATION SYSTEM.

WHILE STOPPED AT LIGHT WHEN I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE MAKING A LEFT TURN THE TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. THIS IS DANGEROUS SHOULD YOU NEED TO QUICKLY MOVE CAR OUT OF WAY. CAR WENT UP TO 5000 RPM BEFORE I RELEASE THE GAS AND PROCEEDED TO SIDE OF ROAD. DEALER COULDN'T DUPLICATE, I ASKED THEM TO FLASH THE COMPUTER AND THEY REFUSED, SAYING ANY UPDATES WOULD BE OVER THE AIR. WHICH IS NOT TRUE. TRUCK IS SUPPOSED TO BE EQUIPPED WITH TAILGATE AJAR WARNING LIGHT, IT IS IN MANUAL AND ON MY BUILD SHEET. DEALER TELLS ME THAT ITS NOT. SO THERE NOT PUTTING IN THE CORRECT EQUIPMENT. THIS IS DANGEROUS SINCE I HAD 2017 RAM THAT TAILGATE OPENED WHILE DRIVING BEFORE RECALL!! *TR
