2022 RAM 1500 Fuelpropulsion System Problems

I own a 2022 Ram 1500 with a 5.7-liter V8 equipped with the eTorque (mild hybrid) system. On October 24, 2025, at approximately 1:30 p.m., I was driving southbound on I-25 when the battery warning light illuminated, followed by several other warning indicators on the dashboard. Shortly thereafter, the dashboard went completely dark, and I suddenly lost power steering. At that point, the truck was moving only on momentum. While I was able to brake and activate my emergency hazard lights, the vehicle eventually came to a stop on its own in a lane in the middle of the highway. Fortunately, traffic was moving slowly due to it being a Friday afternoon. This was a frightening and dangerous experience, particularly due to the sudden loss of power steering. I could have collided with another vehicle, or another vehicle could have struck me. I feared for my safety during this incident....

Turning corner, moving at slow speed. Engine shut off unexpectedly, parking brake auto-applied, truck shifted to park. Stuck sitting in traffic lane, VERY unsafe! Was able to restart truck and disable parking brake and resume driving but this was a very dangerous situation had there been more traffic.

2022 Ram 1500 5.7L eTorque Stalling mild-hybrid HEMI would shut off unexpectedly while traveling at low speeds, prompting the vehicle to shift into park and engage the emergency brake. intermittent ability to restart. the battery fault symbol lighting up.

Possibly intake mainifold/housing etc. oil is running down on top of the transmission making it look like the transmission is leaking I only have 68224 miles on it and I just bought it in much with 57000 miles on it is this a recall

The vehicle is a 2022 RAM 1500 Laramie Crew Cab that experienced a complete failure of the 48-volt eTorque battery pack and Motor Generator Unit (MGU). On August 1, 2025, at approximately 11,374 miles, the truck became inoperable and had to be towed to the dealership. The dealership confirmed the failure of the eTorque hybrid system components. The vehicle has remained out of service since August 1, 2025, with multiple delays in sourcing the required replacement parts (battery pack and MGU). As of early October 2025, the truck remains at the dealership and has been non-operational for over 60 consecutive days. Safety Concerns: This failure presented a serious safety risk because the truck could not be driven or restarted after it stalled in the middle of a busy street. If the failure had occurred on a freeway or in traffic, the sudden loss of power could have led to a...

After coming to a stop, my vehicle does not accelerate. It automatically engages the park brake and the battery light starts flashing. I have to restart my truck multiple times for it to restart. I have taken it to a dealership 2 and each time they are unable to diagnose it, and release it to me with no info.

From the first oil change forward, I have reported an intermittent electronic problem with the display screen. The screen would fail to activate. None of the functions of the push buttons below the screen which control the widgets’ on the screen would function. The air control for heater and defroster being the main safety issue.

While driving my vehicle at approximately 15-20 mph it unexpectedly and without warning shut down and engaged the emergency brake bringing the vehicle from 20 to 0 immediately. The vehicle the stated ignition was not put in park. I restarted the vehicle and the e brake was engaged.

The engine stalls, shifts to park and applies the parking brake. Sometimes it is at a stop and others it is under 10mph. It has been happening over the las few months and our dealer can't seem to repair it.

Going thru neighborhood stop signs, stopped at the first one and when i tried to take off I noticed the gas pedal wasn't accelerating vehicle like normal/ felt like a transmission slipping issue, but it finally "hooked up" and surged forward 100 feet to next stop sign, and after i stopped I hit gas pedal again only to stall out and roll thru the intersection. Brakes were almost unresponsive, and rolled about 60 seconds until truck finally shifted into park on its own and applied emergency brake. After the truck got to a complete stop, it started back up and drove fine the final 2 minutes of the drive home. No warnings/ check engine lights/ malfunction messages were displayed, no obvious signs of issues. 1. The malfunctioning component would be the motor, as it stalled out for seemingly no reason. But issue could be incorrect supply (voltage/ fuel/ air/) so...

E torque system on this truck has had several problems Factory did replace it, but still has issues Before replacing the system, my truck shut down in the middle road several times very dangerous After replacing the system, I now get strange issues remote start stop won't work Had several situations with the truck, stopping and starting again

2022 ram with 26,000 miles and the fuel pump is failing, check engine light on with a small emissions system leak as well. Upholstery under the driver and rear passenger seat is detached with exposed zippers. Truck is falling apart before it even reaches 30,000 miles but because of the time frame, despite the low miles and mostly highway driving in a rural area, out of warranty

In October 2024, my 2022 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, which I purchased brand new from Lynch Ram in Wisconsin, suffered a catastrophic fuel system failure while I was driving. The fuel rail—previously under recall—cracked, spraying diesel fuel all over the engine bay and sending smoke and fumes through the cabin vents. While the truck didn’t catch fire, the situation posed a serious safety risk. I had to have it towed to Zeigler Ram in Downers Grove, Illinois, where they confirmed that the failure was due to the known recall issue. They replaced the part under warranty, despite previously stating that the necessary component had been unavailable for months. Fast forward to February 2025, and the exact same issue occurred again while I was on a road trip to Michigan. Once again, the fuel rail cracked, spraying fuel over the engine and sending fumes into the cabin. My truck was towed to...

Fuel Rail leaking from rail seem. Appears to be along the entire rail where the top is joined to the bottom part of the rail.

When I attempt to fill my 2022 Ram 1500 (55,000 Miles) with gas the valve at the base of the tank (part of the evap system) prevents it from taking gas. The dealership told me it was a safety issue (no kidding) and I needed a new fuel tank. As it turns out this is a really common issue with these Rams and when they pulled the spare tank they had in stock, it had a broken fuel nipple at the top of the tank (which also seems unsafe). Is anything being looked into regarding these gas tanks?

From day one when entering a roadway it would start to move putting me into traffic then just refuse to go leaving stranded for about ten seconds then move again, the whole time it would shudder and shake by engine and the transmission and it was like the system were all fighting for control. Next when entering a freeway I pulled on to the on ramp and immediately got up to 50mph and started to merge and it bogged down like it lost fuel and again I was almost hit by traffic but they avoided me. There are numerous problems with the infotainment system to the point of distraction, most of these problems are transient but on going, they fixed some of them with software updates but then a new crop will pop up. I have not been able to trust the truck since I’ve owned it so I have...

I have had multiple incidents of my 2022 Ram 1500 ETorque, when coming to a stop the auto start stop system engages and when I let my foot off the brake to take off the truck will not start the engine back. It will engage the parking brake and shift into park, sometimes will start back with the start button depressed. I have had at least 4 different incidents where it leaves me sitting in heavy traffic in a dangerous spot. The CEL has come on twice, other times the "Service Start/Stop System" and "Service Charging System" have come on. I have had it to my dealer in Fayetteville, Arkansas 4 times. They have reprogrammed the ECM, the Hybrid Module, and the Motor Generator Unit, with no improvement in issue.

My truck is subject to a safety recall for the high pressure oil pump. Campaign 01A/23V-263. I took the truck in for the repair in December 2023. I was told that the parts were not available, and that the dealer would call me when the parts became available. No one contacted me, so I contacted Ram in March 2024. I was told that the parts still were not available, and that the dealer would call when the parts become available. As of today, August 23, 2024, I still have not been contacted and the repair has not been completed.

Problems started about a year after I built/purchased the vehicle. I started to experience stalling and hesitation when accelerating. At slower speeds, the truck shuts off, occasionally and the brakes lock up. This almost caused a major incident twice, due to vehicles following me and the abrupt stops in traffic. This could have caused a major accident and loss of life/lives. This has been going on for several months. They can't seem to duplicate the problem, even though, on 3 occasions, they did software updates and once, replaced the fuel pump. The vehicle is still under warranty but approaching the end of warranty period in about a year. I have taken the vehicle to Dodge on 8 occasions and they say it can't be duplicated. I filed an arbitration hearing for them to repurchase or replace, but was denied. I recently read in a news article that there is a...

The truck has been having difficulty shifting the transmission at times, major delay in throttle when applying the gas pedal at a stop sign or at a stop light. This can be a major accident waiting to happen because that delay may and can cause an accident, injury, and/or death.

1. Engine stalled and complete loss of power at low speed/during acceleration at a stop sign, traffic signal, crossing, etc. 2. Engine stalled and complete loss of power at low speed (under 35 mph) during acceleration and/or deceleration. 3. I've noticed over the last several incidents that upon initial startup the engine did not feel or sound normal to the point I have been able to anticipate a stall. Engine will not idle properly, rough/jerky takeoff, delayed response when accelerating. Stalling only occurs once per driving episode. It has not stalled a second time following the initial stall. It appears the issue resets the engine?, electronics?, computer board?. 4. Incidents are very stressful. The number of times the stalling incident has taken place is between 15-20 times. I purchased the vehicle new with 35 miles. As of 7/2/24 I have 39,400 miles. The issue began about a year ago with...

Vehicle stumbles at stops when sits more than 6 hrs ..feels like a misfire ..had it to dealer 6 times can’t find problem

I was slowing down for traffic at a stop light and when I was almost stopped traffic began moving again so I took my foot off the brake and pushed the gas pedal. The truck stalled, it shifted to park, the emergency brake came on and a red warning lamp for the battery came on. Traffic behind me had to stop abruptly to avoid hitting my vehicle. I immediately put my 4-way flashers on while trying to get the truck to restart. This was at 3:30 pm in very busy traffic on a 6 lane road on Feb 22 2024. I couldn’t get the truck to restart or move or do anything for over a minute. After a minute the truck allowed me to restart and drive home. The battery lamp stayed on the whole way home and the back-up camera stopped working when I parked. It has never had...

Truck stalls out when driving and stoping. Causing parking brake to engage and lose of all functions. It has been at dealer 4 times they say it’s to intermittent. They can’t get it to do it. Also they see a fault but can’t trace it. This has been going on since 2023 a few months after I leased it. I have all records of events. No warning is given before this happens. It just dies. Yes truck is available for inspection. Dealer has all info on status. Parkway dodge jeep and ram.

A recall was announced over a year ago on the high pressure fuel pump but the manufacturer is still stating they do not have parts to repair. I am fearful of something happening while driving.

[XXX], While driving S on [XXX] , I felt a brief loss of power than a total engine shutdown. I was sandwiched between two semis but was able to locate a wide spot in the shoulder to signal and pull over, parking 9 feet off the fog line. The vehicle indicated a failure and would not restart. As it was a winter night, I was able to contact a relative to head our way and contacted AAA for a tow 5 miles to the nearest town, Chemult. My wife and I secured our vehicle in a safe place off the highway and were given a ride 72 miles to home. Ram Assist was unable to locate a tow company so I arranged and paid for the vehicle to be delivered to the nearest dealer in Klamath Falls, OR. After a week, the dealer confirmed a fuel system catastrophic shut down...

The high pressure fuel pump failed while traveling at approximately 45 mph in the left lane on a public highway in snowy conditions. The truck lost all mechanical power and would not start upon multiple attempts. There were other motorists on the road who could have been endangered if I was not able to safely maneuver the truck to the shoulder. The truck was towed to Ken Garff Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram in West Valley, UT where the service department confirmed that the high pressure fuel pump failed. The manufacturer "prioritized" ordering replacement parts, but is unable to provide an estimated time of arrival for several components necessary to complete the repair. No symptoms, warning lamps, or other indicators were evident prior to the mechanical failure. The fuel tank was 3/4 full with diesel fuel purchased in Utah (where the incident occurred), DEF was full, and the truck had routine...

Auto engine accelerated while, pushing on break

Both RAM and dealership, after multple attempts, continue to give the same excuse that they don't have parts available. I have asked for a forecast of when this will become available and they have indicated they cannot at this time.

The fuel system issue at RAM has been known for months and still there is no "fix". I have been trying to trade my vehicle since summer (2023) and I am completely stuck because of the issue. Dealers will not take it because they cannot resell it. The value it at auction price which has devalued my vehicle from the ~$81K sticker price to now they say I can buy a new vehicle (same) for ~$69k. They have literally stuck me in the corner without having remedy. Are they even working on it? The OEM's seemingly reluctance to act, in // with accelerating the devaluation of my vehicle, feels like a class action lawsuit waiting to happen. Can NHTSA apply some pressure here on behalf of consumers everywhere? Also sorry but the email links in your website do not work so this was the only way I could find to...

After coming to a full stop at a stop sign. I proceeded to hit the gas to enter the intersection. The vehicle left the stop sign fine but when I got into the middle of the intersection, the vehicle died. Had to be put in park and restarted. This is the 2nd time this has happened to me. Seems it possibly cause an accident if there was ever traffic coming from the opposite direction. Vehicle only has 10k miles on it and no check engine light is on.

After a cold start, I drove 0.5 miles to an intersection. The engine stalled, the vehicle applied the electric parking brake, and would not move. The dash indicated a shift to park was required. The shift was completed and the vehicle was restarted, but in an unsafe state. The hybrid starter/generator was not charging the battery, and service was required. I have had this truck to the dealer several times for this safety problem but they can't duplicate or fix it. I believe it is the same as 23V-265, but they have not included 2022 models.

Our 2022 Ram 1500 Diesel truck stranded us from approx. 9pm-1am while traveling hours home on a remote MS state hwy intersection and shut our engine down, locked all 4 wheels & disabled our ability to put the vehicle in neutral to push from the roadway. We were left stranded in a main lane of a busy intersection at 10 pm at night. The local PD showed up and had to block traffic and our truck had to be 'pulled' onto/off of a flatbed tow truck (wheels would not turn) and hauled to the local dealer. We had nowhere to go as the local dealer was closed & no rental agencies were open so we had to sit outside in the parking lot of the dealership until midnight for a friend to arrive from our hometown to come pick us up. We are being told that our high pressure fuel...

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...

I'm afraid that the hpfp will fail while I am driving with my wife and newborn in the vehicle whike driving. It's terrifying to have to put them in danger and drive this vehicle, but I need a vehicle to get to work everyday.

It's been over a year that FCA has known of the potential dangers of a high pressure fuel pump that suddenly stops working and has not produced a remedy. This is unacceptable. Driving a vehicle knowing that it could, at any time, shut down in heavy traffic and become immobile is unacceptable. If FCA cannot come up with a timely (too late for "timely") replacement part, NHTSA should force them into other options for owners.

On May 5, 2023 I was driving home when my new 2022 Ram 1500 ECODIESEL truck broke down. It has been at the dealership ever since then. The high pressure fuel pump went out. The dealership requested that I call Chrysler and request a buy back process because the pumps has a recall on it. So I called Chrysler and requested the buy back process and was informed by Chrysler today since they don’t have the parts they are going back with the same pump even though it has a recall on it putting my life and my family life in danger. Please help me! How is possible that they can go back with the same parts when it has a recall on those parts?

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 gasoline⛽️ 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 Malfunction”! 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!🔥...

DRIVING AROUND 40MPH ON A BUSY ROAD WAY I WENT TO SLOW DOWN AND MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN INTO A SHOPPING CENTER. TRUCK DIED WITHOUT WARNING, DASH DISPLAYED NORMAL START PROMPT SCREEN THEN TOLD ME TO SHIFT TO PARK. THE LADY BEHIND ME ALMOST REAR ENDED ME. SO IT STOPPED THE TRUCK COMPLETLEY AND RESTARTED WITH NO ISSUE. IM NOW VERY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFTEY OF MY FAMILY AND MYSELF NOT TO MENTION I DO TOW A SMALL BUT EXPENSIVE BASS BOAT ON THE WEEKENDS WHICH COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT AND OR FINANCIAL LOSS!

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.

2022 Ram 1500 Vehicle with approximately 9000 miles, has stalled now twice while driving at speeds of 25 to 35 miles per hour and soon after shifts into park, and then will not start. One was on a busy street that caused risk of near accident, another was in neighborhood. Vehicle was towed after first stall, but dealership only saw stall on computer but did not have any codes or repairs identified. Vehicle also would not start on more than one occasion. Dealership cannot get in to service for 3 to 4 weeks.

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.

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.

Driving at slow speed after vehicle sat overnight. Truck stalled, indicating place vehicle in park before starting. I shifted to park, additional lights and errors occurred. Disabled parking brake, and was able to start vehicle after two attempts.

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.
