2022 RAM 1500 Electrical System Problems

Persistent codes not considered ESP not functioning properly or appearing I display Headunit notifications not storing for vehicle trip or information Engine ticking under 2000 miles No recall work done or reported by showroom company ( failure to register in USA) Surging acceleration No stop start function (standard) Mis information on cluster Water seeping between rubber mold and window Lightning bolt on dash Drive train issue (control module issue appeared 800 miles disregarded) 48 volt system worked on prior to purchase (recorded but undocumented by dealership confirmed by employee) Possibly ground disconnect from 48 system Control bus failure Floating high rev no shift Steering column never done recall work (Built in Michigan)

Vehicle steering began to shake violently intermittently, I pulled off the highway and began to inspect front wheels. I saw fire on left side of engine through the wheel well. I extinguished fire with hand extinguisher. Fire department inspected and saw no danger to move vehicle. Vehicle was towed. Inspection by dealer was inconclusive. (!) I would not trust it to drive. I brought vehicle into company shop and inspected myself and found starter wire routed between brackets on engine/cross member. The cable was burned/ shorted and the cause of fire and electric steering malfunction. Any further use would certainly cause another incident. Vehicle was returned to dealer for replacement of harness. Dealer stated no recalls or known issues related to this. Inspected another vehicle of same type and wire is similar routing. Vehicle showed no symptoms prior to and no codes set after incident. One photo from below, driver...

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle independently shifted to park and would not turn off. The contact stated that after several attempts to turn the vehicle off, the vehicle turned off and the contact restarted the vehicle. The contact stated that while depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to function as intended. The contact stated that there was a 10-15-second delay. The failure occurred several times. However, the vehicle was taken to the dealer seven times, but the failure could not be duplicated. The contact stated that the failure began after Manufacturer Recall: 901081, was completed two years ago. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 6,000.

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving approximately 10 MPH, while making a right turn and coming to a stop, several unknown warning lights flashed on the instrument panel and displayed before the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. The vehicle was immediately restarted but the "battery" warning light remained illuminated. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 21,000.

The truck shut off on me at high speed on the highway. Another time which I caught on video, I was making a right hand turn and the truck shut off.

300 FCA case [XXX] - FCA Replacement / Repurchase - [XXX] [XXX] RAM 1500 CREW CAB 2022 Please be advised this vehicle was lemon lawed and replaced on 11/27/24. FCA reclaimed possession of this vehicle at that time. Per Statutes for WI. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

While driving on the freeway at speeds of approximately 65-70 mph, the vehicle unexpectedly locked the steering wheel, depriving the driver of the ability to maneuver or control the vehicle safely. It required significant effort for the driver to manually turn the wheel enough to guide the truck to the side of the freeway. This was an extremely dangerous situation, as we no longer had full control of the truck while at highway speeds. Had this occurred during a turn, the truck would have continued in a straight line, crossing into oncoming traffic. Concurrently, all lights on the dashboard began flashing while random error messages sequenced through the display, all without an apparent cause. After maneuvering the truck to the side of the road, we turned off the engine. However, all the lights on the dashboard continued flashing. I called to arrange for a tow truck just as a police...

While coming to a stop less than a half mile from my house the engine died. I had remote started the engine before leaving for work, so the engine had run for a few minutes before leaving my house. I was able to start the truck and continue driving. A few miles later I got a battery warning so at my next stop, I shut the truck off and opened and closed the driver's door. The truck restarted and everything was running normal.

Vehicle shut down while driving slowly after a stop sign. Occurred on first trip of the morning, cooler weather, at a slow speed within neighborhood. After stopping at a stop sign, and pressing the gas pedal, the vehicle shut down. I had to steer it (power steering off at this point) to the right and barely was out of the intersection. It went into park, emergency brake engaged itself. It took several minutes to get the vehicle operational again after following the on-dash instructions to disengage the emergency brake and start the vehicle. It started after 1 failed start attempt. The 2nd attempt is what allowed me to get the vehicle operational again. Whole situation might had been around 2 minutes. 2022 RAM Limited e-torque, 22,596 miles

While pulling out of a stop light, my 2022 Ram 1500 stalled, and the parking brake engaged while I was in the middle of the intersection. After getting the truck restarted and safely getting through the intersection, the battery indicator warning light came on and the voltage gage dropped dramatically. When I took the truck to the dealer I was told they could not replicate therefore it was in safe operating condition. My truck is one year old with only 7400 miles. Also the dealer disputes the active recall on my truck.

I am having issues with the Uconnnect radio screen freezing and a loud buzzing coming from the speakers for 10-15 seconds until the radio reboots itself. This issue has occurred on vehicle start, putting vehicle into drive/reverse and while driving down the road. If in reverse the backup camera will also freeze. Both the rear camera freezing and loud buzzing can cause driver distraction. While backing up having the camera freeze is a big safety issue as children could be right behind you outside of rear view mirror view and when the freeze of the camera happens while backing up could cause driver to hit person/objects. Vehicle goes to shop soon to be diagnosed. No error messages are displayed while or after the screen freezes/reboots. I have video of this issue.

The back up camera is not working, there is only a blue screen when I put my truck in reverse. The error message says camera system unavailable. Took it to the dealership to get it fixed and they had it for a week and did not give me a loaner I had to pay for a rental car out of pocket I am severely irritated with my local Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram service center they are not catering to me as a customer and it's really ridiculous because we're talking about a safety issue if I can't use my backup camera to hook up my trailer for work.

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 1500. The contact stated that on two separate occasions while driving at various speeds, the vehicle lost motive power. The vehicle was steered into a parking lot, turned off, and restarted after several minutes. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer but was not yet diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 13,000.

I was driving down the road and my truck shutoff and coasted just enough for me to get out of the on coming traffic and then the emergency brake automatically turned on causing my truck to stop in the middle of the road and auto shift put it into park. Fortunately, I was able to get it started again and move out of the road. I very easy could have been killed.

At a complete stop, truck shuts off and emergency brake gets engaged for no reason. This has happened approx. 8 times since I bought the truck brand new from dealer. Truck has 12, 800 miles to date. No major safety risk but stuck in traffic while trying to get truck moving. The problem has not been reproduced by dealer but doing research online, other people are complaining on the same issue. The Ram dealer (Nemer) in Wilton, NY has inspected under warranty. No warnings or messages appear when truck shuts off.

has been hesitating since day one entertainment and GPS freezing and still is it has been to the dealer for both and has been updated many times the last update was for drive ability concerns and it was the worse it has been since the update was done the morning after it was done it would not start i had to try 3 or 4 time and it started and ran ruff and the trans was not shifting correctly the update for the GPS and the entertainment system was done over the air and still does not work it still freezes and i have to stop driving to reset it as far as the hesitation i can make turns safely if you think you have enough time to turn safely you don't and could get hit broadside the last pcm update made everything worse be careful ram owners i have...

This truck has an intermittent problem that causes it to shut down and leaving me stranded in traffic. This shutdown has happened 8 times. It first happened on Jan-10. This is two weeks after I purchased the truck. Since then, there have been 4 attempts to fix it at dealerships. They were not been able to identifying the causes of these problems or fixing them. The Truck was out of service for 47 days while it was in for repairs. Both of these items exceed the limits of the Missouri Lemon Law. I will briefly review the nature of the problems. These 8 shut down events are not just a stalling problem. When the truck shuts down the yellow engine lights come on and the truck will not try to restart when I press the gas or restart button. In some cases, it automatically engaged the parking brake and I...

Two issues, both 12" radio/infotainment issues. 1) Radio will often, and without warning get, for lack of a better term, corrupted, the entire system freezes, no screen control and makes a loud static esc noise.. The only way to fix the issue is to power cycle the radio either by holding the power button and scan button down for 15 or so seconds, or turning off the truck and cycling the power to the radio by opening then closing and opening the door again.. Neither are easy to do when traveling at highways speeds. 2) Infotainment screen will turn off, loosing all controls to cabin features and controls. Radio still works, but no screen is available for controls. ( the screen on/off button DOES NOT turn or reset the screen when this happens) The only way to get the screen back on is to power cycle the truck--- turning off...

While driving down the road the battery falls rapidly from 14 to 11.8 or less causing the battery light and engine light to come on, and the unit to start losing power and die. The truck has been in the shop several times with still no repairs completed. They have given me back the unit telling me there’s nothing they can do and not sure what is causing it. The ecm data has pulled several codes, but yet the dealer still won’t repair based on those codes. I have been told sorry, there’s nothing further we can do. Mean while the truck continues to die while driving down the road which has put me and my family’s life in danger when the unit just rapidly dies and there’s no time to exit a freeway causing you to shut down the unit in the middle of the road. Hoping you can...

Vehicle stalled died while turning left and automatically set parking brake very dangerous while on busy road

Brought vehicle into chevy dealership for interior detail because it wasn't available at nearest dodge and went to go pick it up and the truck would not turn on. Car towed to Dodge dealership and they stated that there Module H was an issue and they replaced that and still isn't working and they don't know what is wrong. Dodge dealership stated that they don't see any negligence on the vehicle done by chevy dealership. Dodge is going back and forth with support team trying to figure out what is going on. Going on the 4th week of vehicle being in the shop with zero answers. Dodge didn't have a rental vehicle available to me and told me id get reimbursed if I went to get a vehicle and now they are stating they aren't wanting to pay. My vehicle is under full warranty. I have contacted the MN state...

The engine dies while slowing down or immediately following a stop and start, dies in the middle of an intersection or just going down the road. It has died at a railroad crossing. This could be a deadly situation if it happened in heavy traffic since the driver can't get out of the way. It sets the emergency brake. It has to be at a complete stop before we can press the brake, manually unlock the park brake, then start the truck It's been back to the dealership numerous times. They tell me they don't doubt my word, but they can't come up with a solution. They told us it needed an electronic update. They came to pick up the truck this morning4/17/23 to do a scan for more updates. This is very serious!

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...

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.

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.

Driving vehicle at approximately 15 MPH when vehicle accelerated on its own and would not stop by depressing foot brake. Had to put vehicle into neutral and use emergency brake to stop. At the same time several dash warning lights illuminated. Such included but was not limited to, throttle control, trailer tow assist, check engine, brake assist control, etc. The vehicle was parked and unmoved until it was towed to dealership. Upon towing the check engine and throttle control lights remained illuminated. Per dealership, no light is illuminated and no issue with vehicle. Located a number of additional similar issues with Ram’s online with no recall.

While driving the vehicle at low speed two warning lights/messages appeared: “Service electronic stability control, and auto start/stop unavailable/service auto start/stop.” Auto start/stop no longer functions and neither does ESC, which is a safety hazard. Have appointment to have car serviced at dealer.

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 -...

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.

Truck was at a stop sign after being off all night. Truck started fine but when accelerating from a stop into 90 degree turn, engine stalled and battery voltage dropped prompting a shift to park warning and auto stop disabled (already disabled by button) truck refused to turn over the first attempt but started on second and displayed battery voltage at 11.9-12. This is the second time this happened and the first a new battery seem to fix but it has now returned again a month and half later. Both times this happened in traffic and the truck was in the middle of the intersection. 2022 Ram 1500 bighorn 5.7l with etorque. (First red photo was the first time, todays incident was second but it did flash battery warning later on).

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 1500. The contact stated that on three separate occasions, an abnormal, popping sound was coming from the speakers. Additionally, the infotainment screen would go blank and the radio would inadvertently turn off. After the most recent failure, the instrument panel also went blank which included the speedometer and other safety features. The contact had notified the dealer about the failure on multiple occasions but had not yet received a response. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and the contact was given a case number; however, the contact had not yet heard back from the manufacturer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 7,400.

While operating the vehicle the engine and vehicle itself shut down entirely and I was unable to operate the vehicle. 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.

This vehicle was purchased on 03/09/3022. After the purchased I start noticing the following. The light indicator on, vehicle stopped while driving, the motor idling, the radio data compromised, the horn blowing by itself, the tire indicator constantly comes on, and the mileage rotates while vehicle is sits. I’ve taken the truck to the dealership which malware was abstracted from the vehicle; which fixed everything but, it returned remotely. Additionally, while driving on the freeway, the vehicle stopped in the middle of the freeway!

Will it looks to be a problem with the 2022 ram e torque system and there are a lot of complaints same as mine stalling at the stop changing heating settings at a stop it stalls and just poor performance with hesitation if you are at a stop wanting to turn and waiting for oncoming traffic make sure you have enough time to proceed with the 3 second delay when pulling out the 3 seconds could mean your life its been to the dealer a few time and there is nothing wrong i disagree if you don't have the response from the time you press the peddle and the time you start to mo9ve is a 3 second delay something is wrong even when i disengage the e torque it still does the same thing Hay ram get a fix before someone gets killed

Trucks electrical or computers are malfunctioning and draining battery. Causing it to be too weak to start This has occurred twice In our garage. Requiring emergency roadside assistance to jump start. Taken to dealerships three times. They can’t reproduce the problem so they do nothing Of this occurs while driving all systems could fail. Truck has 2438 miles purchased new July 12,2022

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 1500. The contact stated that immediately after leaving a stop light and making a left turn into a blind corner, 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. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 1,100.

The vehicle will slam on the breaks if I am backing into a parking spot with any sort of vegetation. This happens way before I am anywhere close to being completely in the space. This could easily cause an accident and I have come very close multiple times. I have had to shut it off and the feature is unusable.

Back up camera will freeze and stop working. A loud tone will also sound and come through the speakers which will not stop until you turn the truck off and restart it. It is very distracting and unless you are in a safe place to do so can cause a hazard.

While pulling onto a busy roadway the engine of my 2022 Ram 1500 with e-torque shut off and the emergency brake applied itself at about 10mph. This was accompanied by a check engine light and low battery voltage light. After the sudden stop I was almost rear ended by another truck on the road behind me. Seems to be a known issue with these trucks.

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...

Truck was previously, in the Dodge Ram Dealership, in Glendale, on Brand Blvd. Within 7 days of having my truck "repaired" for SUDDEN AND ABRUPT STOP IN TRAFFIC - Check Engine Light, heater going on by itself, radio-bluetooth connection issues -it was returned with "new computer hardware" and days later June 8th leaving for work not far from my house my truck - ABRUPTY STOPPED WHILE DRIVENG IN TRAFFIC AGAIN! My "case" with customer Care has been REOPENED and my truck is still at the same dealer in service! I was told that a Dodge Durango had the same issue, and it would be looked into by the RAM engineers - The truck has now stopped in traffic twice in a matter of 7 days! I am more than concerned but FEARFUL for my safety and those that ried with me! I do mostly Freeway driving and I am TERRIFED...

When in tow haul mode the truck will get stuck in 3rd gear. Speed is limited to 30. Very dangerous when towing and on roads that require faster speed. Ram says the hope to fix the software issue sometime. They said do not tow. Affects all ram 1500 with etorque. Recall needed before accident.

Back up camera does not work and screen turns blue.

Radio will randomly switch sources and volume and speakers. This is very distracting and could cause an accident

1. Heater randomly comes on and can’t be shut off 2.rear-brake stops truck when reversing into driveway 3. Truck made noise and suddenly stopped in traffic - eeror message “power train issue” -able to restart car engine light remained on. 4. Service dealer could not get the 12” screen to respond to his touch! 5. Apps (Waze, car play and other apps) Not working constantly The abrupt stop happened on Friday Car has been in dealer for 5 full days while I must rent a car at my expense! NO explanation NO details NO information each time I’ve called dealer and Chrysler customer care! 5/16 - 5/20 after many calls - with promise of return call NOTHING! They say it’s with the technician and he’s looking at it!

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 fuel”. One day later “MIL” came back on flashing “check engine”. 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 failure”. However, nothing has been fixed. Basically, getting run around with Chrysler Corporate and...
