2022 RAM 1500 Forward Collision Avoidance Automatic Emergency Braking Problems

Vehicle deployed EBS system while coming to stop, automatically shifted to park and the engine shut off. When trying to restart the vehicle, the battery indicated a very low charge (11.1V) and not charging from the alternator. The battery is 3 months old and confirmed that the battery cells were good by an automotive shop. Has happened approximately 8 times in the past year. No codes or check engine lights are displayed.

my abs and traction control light is on, took it in and got the recall done at slimans in amhust ohio, light is still on. they want $300 to test it further. i have seen several posts about the control module failing. i took it in to another garage, they replaced the rear sensor. still didnt fix the problem. i dont have $800 to replace the control modular just to see if it fixes the problem. there needs to be another recall to fix this issue. i can evan use my 4 wheel drive right now.

i was driving my truck in a parking lot going roughly 10MPH when the truck slammed on the Emergency brakes. the check Engine light started flashing as well as truck going into power save mode. I've had the truck checked and looked at at a ram dealer in Barstow CA for the same issue. they said they fixed it. how ever the same issue just happened again i filed a complaint that time as i was almost rear ended reference number 11688552 on 19 September 2025

I was stopped at a light and my dash light started beeping and flashing at random and the truck just shut off. My parking break got randomly engaged and the truck went back to P mode even though it was in drive prior. I turned the truck back on and the break wouldn’t release and I couldn’t turn the knob to drive. Had to turn it off again and after about 2 minute it left me drive again. Second time and I just bought this truck.

2022 Ram eTorque, while slowing to a stop to turn engine stalls followed by an automatic emergency brake applied. Engine must be restarted, placed in park and brake released. In the last year it has occured 15 to 20 times. My wife refuses to drive this truck considering it to be too dangerous.

The first issue appeared when I came to a stop at a light. The auto start/stop feature malfunctioned and left my truck dead in the middle of a busy intersection and wouldn’t turn back on right away. Eventually it turned on and I was able to make it home safely. I thought this was a one time thing as the truck then appeared to be working fine after. But then it happened again after that where it wouldn’t restart after the auto start/stop function didn’t restart the engine. When I brought it in to the dealership they diagnosed the problem as a faulty etorque motor and replaced the unit in July, 2023, about a year and a half after I bought the truck brand new. Now 2 years later, the issue is happening again. This time the check engine light came on, then a few minutes later the battery low...

Hi guys, I live in Central America, bought my truck new at the dealer in Guatemala that is Grupo Q, the dealer does not service recalls, nor does any warranty work. AS you can see with my vin recalls are still not done. I have gotten in touch with ram recently to check on this, also because the local dealer will not do any warranty work on my seat bottoms that have started to rip at 44,000km they started to rip at 5,000km. three months ago my ac compressor dyed. again no warranty, I got in touch with ram because my truck states 5 year 60,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty. Ram US told me to get in touch with RAM Mexico and they dont even pick the phone and when a miracle happens they pick up the phone just to hung it up. I got in touch again with...

Twice while coasting at between 5 & 10 mph, the engine shuts down, a warning shows auto disabled, and applies emergency brake before one can even get the transmission into park. Our concern is that this sudden stop could cause us to be hit from behind. We brought it to a Ram dealership in Hartsville, SC and they could not reproduce problem and have no idea what caused it.

On March 12th, 2025, I was driving the truck on cruise control at 70 mph on the toll road with no shoulder. The truck rpm gauge went to zero as well as all other gauges. The truck went to shut down mode, I then put the truck in neutral it would not let me start it so I applied the brake to stop the truck, then put it in park.The emergency brake light was on so I had to release it and the truck restarted . Note this stall happened the middle of the highway, luckily , no one came up on me while the truck was stalled. We took it to 2 different Dodge dealers today and they both say there is not a stored fault code or active code, therefore there is nothing they can do to resolve this issue. This is very frightening as I do not...

More than once now the vehicle has applied its parking brake, the engine stalled, and stopped the vehicle in the middle of the road. It then required me to reset the emergency brake to “release”, return the shifter knob to park, and restart the vehicle in the middle of busy intersections!!

Jun 13, 2024 2022 Rebel GT FIRST INCIDENT: while making a right hand turn from a stop light, the truck lost acceleration, rolled for a few feet and locked up into ebrake engagement and: >low voltage warning>red battery symbol>clicking lights>complete shut off!! Gave me the follwing messages in the display "key not in vehicle, place in park to start, low volatge." When i finally got it restarted it didnt give me full acceleration power. it limped down the road until i could safely pull off the road. Continued to show low voltage. I limped it home and conitued to have low volatge issues. i took it to the dealer next day and they was unable to recreate or resolve the issue. They reset the battery but It happened again... Well today while at 75MPH on the freeway, attempting to pass a semi my 2022 Rebel GT 24k miles lost acceleration...

At a stoplight waiting for best turn available, truck tells me to shutoff vehicle and restart. THe e-brake was engaged so I was sitting in middle of intersection while event occured. Could not proceed or disnegage ebrake until after shifting truck into park, restart the vehicle and then disengage ebrake.

Automatic braking system has came 3 different time with out anything near the vehicle. First two times it happened I thought maybe something ws there I did not see, the third time I had two people witness the event and verified there was nothing behind the vehicle when the automatic braking stopped the vehicle abruptly.

On three occasions within 72 hours, and while towing a vehicle up an incline, the vehicle presented the "service electronic throttle" malfunction indicator. The vehicle lost power and would not accelerate. The design of the road that I was travelling upon during two of the events, had no shoulders. The third location where the error presented was on heavily travelled two lane highway. In all three circumstances the failure presented risk to my personal safety losing substantial ability to operate the vehicle in a predictable and reliable manner. This failure is not anecdotal. There are literally hundreds of unique instances being reported across just one owner's forum alone. Hundreds more on others.

While coming to a stop, the vehicle shutdown on its own and caused the auto parking break to enable. This caused a disruption in surrounding traffic. There were no warning lights or other indicators either before or after the incident.

My truck has been stalling at low speed, automatically shifting into park, and the emergency brake is automatically engaged. This occurs at random times, but typically as I approach or depart a stop sign or community gate. It has happened with other vehicles in the vicinity. The dealership has changed out the MGU, but it happened again the next week, 3 times. The dealership states that they are not receiving assistance from Chrysler.

On July 20, 2024, I was stopping at a red light at a slow speed when the electronic parking brake engaged on its own. I couldn’t turn it off and the truck would not move forward when the light turned green. I had to turn the vehicle on and off several times to disengage the brake. We then turned off the brake assist off in the user settings/computer. This could have caused a rear end collision but thankfully the cars behind us were also traveling at a slow speed and saw we had our hazard lights on.

1st Issue: With <5K miles on odometer, engine would not shift out of 1st gear. Check engine light came on. I drove ~5 miles to a safe place and parked. After a few minutes I cranked up and the check engine light was off. Transmission shifted fine. I reported to the service manager at Abernathy Dodge in Lincolnton NC during first scheduled oil change. He shrugged and said "who knows". 2nd Issue: With <10K miles, vehicle would stop suddenly and would not move. I had to pull the park brake lever to release it. Assumed it was a safety system that I was not familiar with. Later, it would lock down and stall and I took the same steeps to release. 3rd Issue: With <39K miles (3k outside of warranty and paid for) the check engine and battery light come on. I took it to Marburger RAM in Shelby NC...

Which specific part malfunctioned is unknown. I was slowing down as I was approaching a stop sign when the engine shut off. Next, the automatic emergency braking was activated. I had to restart my vehicle, disengage the parking brake, and shift back into drive. I continued to proceed on my way driving significantly under the speed limit, for fear of this occurring again.

Happens once in every 5 times. If I'm sitting still about to gas it to pull out into traffic the gas pedal does not react causing a massive delay that has almost got me in a few accidents. I've also been at an intersection, stop signs, traffic lights and parking decks moving slowly and the trucks Emergency Brake will automatically be applied.

Yesterday, 6/11/24, was the 4th time while driving the engine shut off while moving. Had to hit the brakes and coast to side of road. Had to put in park and start the engine. Dealer claims can’t repeat or find code. Same problem as many on the page. Also have the front camera/radar intermittently stop working and warns emergency braking and cruise control can’t be used. This is on the freeway!! 45 seconds later everything works again. Again no dealer help.

My battery died and when I reset it all of the abs lights came on. Now I need a new abs control module

This vehicle has stalled three times in separate occurrences in the last 12 months after stopping at an intersection for a stop sign. When attempting to continue on, the vehicle stalls and engages the emergency brake. All three occurrences have left me broadside in an intersection until I can get the vehicle started and disengage the E brake. This is a huge safety concern. The last occurrence was on 3/8/24, this one had the same symptoms as the first two except there was also a battery light warning that I was able to correct by shutting the truck off and restarting. I made a service appointment where I purchased the vehicle ( Walser Dodge, Hopkins Mn.). No codes were produced to indicate what might be causing this issue. They tried to replicate the issue by driving the truck 113 miles with no success. There was no resolution to the problem...

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.

AFTER COMING TO A STOP, OR NEAR STOP, THEN TRYING TO GO AGAIN, VEHICLE HAS SHUT ITSELF OFF AND ENGAGED PARKING BRAKE 3 TIMES NOW IN LAST MONTH. YOU HAVE TO THEN PUT IN PARK DISENGAGE PARKING BRAKE RESTART AND HOPE YOU CAN GO, SOMETIMES TAKES 2 OR 3 TRIES. I SEE THIS COMPLAINT EVERYWHERE ON FORUMS. THIS IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED AS THEY TRY TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC! DEALERS SAY THEY CAN'T REPLICATE ISSUE, AND DO NOTHING.

Driving on wet road, braking system acting strange. Slowed down, dashboard lit up, tried to get off freeway and ended up spinning into wall. Drove home 30 miles on back roads, then slowed down at intersection, dashboard lit up again, parking brake engaged, vehicle locked up, dash kept flashing, could not start vehicle or put in neutral. Dealer states there were multiple failed brake system alerts and had to reset module. Had to tow. Filed a case with FCA in June, have not had a call from case worker, been without a vehicle for almost 3 months because FCA has stated this vehicle may not be safe to drive and that I should not start collision work yet.

The system is supposed to alert then activate the brakes if a collision is going to occur. It is supposed to be a safety feature that’s adds an additional layer of safety to the vehicle which I paid more for. There seems to be no solution from Chrysler

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.

Turning into parking lot vehicle shut down Engine stopped emergency brake came on 3rd time in 4 months 16000 miles on 2022 ram 1500 etorque

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.

While driving in town or on freeway, the engine shuts off and emergency braking system is engaged. No warning lights come on suggesting anything for a code. The dash only says to place truck in park, restart the truck and disengage the emergency parking system. This has been in the shop and they can not duplicate. Dodge is aware of what is transpiring. How is this safe and have not been recalled by dodge? I have children and grandchildren that are usually in the truck with me and this is NOT a safe vehicle to drive at this time!!! This has happened numerous times!!! What if an 18 wheeler is behind me and a fatality happens? I am an er travel nurse. There are plenty of others experiencing this and nothing has been done per the attorney I spoke with. My cell number is [XXX] should you need to contact...

April 8th, 2022, we began having concerns with the safety of the vehicle when the vehicle would not turn off after pressing the off button. The speakers were intermittently working (specific zones not working and eventually all sound lost), no back up alert sounds when vehicle in reverse. After multiple attempts, the vehicle turned off. The next day we started the vehicle and it seemed as though everything had “reset” itself. On 4/13/23 the standing issues mentioned above continued to occur. We brought the vehicle back into Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Brooksville. The Body Control Module was replaced at that time. We picked up the vehicle on 4/25/23. After leaving the dealership, approximately 3 miles down the road, the radio and speakers began to malfunction, and the back-up sensor was not alarming nor producing any sound. The dealership was immediately contacted, and we were told to bring the vehicle...

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

I was backing out of my driveway and the rear view camera and rear sensors didn’t work. Due to vehicle in the road’s location and my mirrors view I could not see vehicle behind me and ran into the vehicle.

This is an update on my Ram, 114499224 case. Yesterday Feb 1, 2023 I drove about 6 miles from my house and as I turned left in a mall parking lot my truck engine shut of and when I touched the brake the transmission went abruptly into park and the emergency brake activated. I got the truck started and after a brief stop at the mall I drove back home, and only about a half mile from my home and as I was turning off a main road into my subdivision the truck shut off again and the emergency brake activated and the transmission went into park.

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...

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...

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.

when coming to a stop engine stall and the emergency brake is automatically engaged. the battery light stay on after restarting the engine. almost got hit in the rear because of this. It been to the dealership three time. no code show up. 12

Three times while at a stop sign the emergency brake has been activated, the engine has shut off and the transmission has shifted to park. There were no vehicles in front or back of me and no vehicles at the side. One of those times it took several minutes to get the truck started and moving, the other two times it was fairly quick.

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...

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...

Car has been at dealer for weeks , they can not fix .

Brake assist does not work properly. Lane assist does not work. Car may stop for no reason or not stop at all. Car looses control under lane assist

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 the stalling but the problem is still unresolved. The stalling started randomly in March-April 2022. The dealership was notified and vehicle taken in for multiple services. Problem still not solved.

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...
