2020 Ram 1500 Problems & Complaints

TIMELINE: 3/2/26: Check engine light and remote start error appeared; no immediate symptoms, planned to have it inspected later. 3/3/26: Truck failed to start after work, leaving me stranded. 3/4/26: Checked for obvious issues (battery, fuses); none found. 3/5/26: Diagnosed and replaced a failed starter; truck started and drove normally. 3/6/26: Vehicle operated normally all day with multiple successful starts. 3/7/26: Truck would not start again. 3/23/26: Vehicle towed to local RAM dealership for inspection. 3/30/26: Dealership determined engine is completely seized and requires replacement. My complaint is that the engine seized abruptly with no warning signs of impending failure. This posed a serious safety risk, as it could have occurred on the highway and caused an accident, injury, or death. The vehicle has approximately 106,000 miles, and all oil changes were performed properly and on schedule. The dealership has refused to inspect the engine to determine the cause unless I pay for their services, and RAM corporate has stated they have no one available to evaluate the issue. This may be due to a defective part that could endanger others and should be investigated to help prevent future incidents. Also during the process of calling RAM corporate, they informed me I had a opem recall for a power train control module, which I had never received any notice of.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that the dashboard lamination had started peeling and was delaminating. Additionally, there was bubbling on the driver's side and the passenger's side of the dashboard. The dealer was notified of the failure, but the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.

The gas tank does not fill properly and leads to spilled gas while filling the tank. There is a technical bulletin (looks like 14-001-22) that tells mechanics how to fix the issue. I brought my truck to a mechanic who was able to replicate this issue and did confirm with a neighboring Chrysler dealership that they would not help cover the cost of the repair. The mechanic's notes mention that the TSB requires the fuel tank to be replaced entirely. There were no indications that this was an issue prior to it happening 5 weeks into me owning the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed and the accelerator pedal detached. The vehicle was coasted into a nearby apartment complex and the vehicle lost automotive power. The contact activated the hazard lights and was towed by AAA to an independent mechanic. The mechanic discovered that the accelerator pedal was missing a bolt and that the accelerator pedal kit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to have the vehicle repaired by the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

Tailgate not operational as one of the 5 latch assemblies doesn't know if rear doors are open or closed. If truck has a bed cover it would be impossible to get rear doors open as access would be impossible without destroying the bed cover. I've owned a 2021 & 2020 with this problem covering many production years besides mine. Driving down the road the OPEN SWING GATE indicator starts flashing & buzzing constantly RAM needs to step up & accept responsibility for this design flaw.

In april of 2024 the MGU on the etourqe system needed replacement. The vehicle went into the shop on April 26 2024 and was released to me on may 16 2024. On march 18 2026 the same vehicle was taken to the shop for the same issue. Today is april 8 2026 and the vehicle is still at the dealer with no time frame of repair. No loaner vehicles for me either time, backordered parts all the while I am forced to pay for a rental vehicle. How can there be a known issue but no resources to handle the demand for parts.

I reported last year that my dash board has been coming off dut to the heat. Told me I had to repair myself. It's already to the pint where the whole thing is almost completely off

Loss power steering while driving the vehicle, on the Highway and in a parking lot. The Turck as now at the dealer as it is nit safe to drive

ABS light keeps coming on and off. The 4WD keeps going on and off and the cruise control and traction keeps working then not working. There is a recall for other year models for the ABS system that basically is exactly what’s happening with my truck. I am worried that it will go out and my truck will stop and cause and accident which almost happened today. This should be a recall alongside those other year models.

Driving and tried to pass a truck loss of power (dash lit up and no top-end) went to limp mode, Hard start upon starting and limp mode continues, code P0336 (crank sensor/reluctor wheel), on dash codes = service electric throttle control & service electronic stability control. Mileage = 110,000, Required service and maintenance completed at recommended intervals, regarding current codes cleaned all related sensors and throttle body, filters and no changes. symptoms are identical to 2019 model complaints. calling dealer regarding fuel system recall and this problem. (this is an estimated $2500 + repair by certified repair mechanic who states repair may fix for a year or less, but it is a continued issue once it starts)

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the tailgate unexpectedly opened. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V904000 (Structure); however, the VIN was not under recall. The approximate failure mileage was 58,500.

While driving my Ram Rebel 2020, the eTorque alternator failed, causing the vehicle to lose electrical power and forcing me to be towed. This posed a serious safety risk, including potential loss of power assist for steering and braking. The issue was addressed only by purchasing a replacement eTorque alternator part through eBay at approximately four times the normal price, because Ram is currently not producing the part. Ram Certified Dealer could not help. Stellantis / Ram customer service has been unhelpful and refused to provide a goodwill reimbursement or solution. I believe this represents a safety defect, as sudden alternator failure can cause stalling and reduce essential safety functions while driving. I am reporting this so that NHTSA can investigate the reliability of the eTorque alternator system and prevent future incidents.

Vehicle Info •2020 Ram 1500 •Approximately 70,000 miles •eTorque system ________________________________________ Complaint: I am reporting a failure of the eTorque system in my 2020 Ram 1500 that has rendered the vehicle inoperable for an extended period of time. The vehicle experienced an eTorque system failure and has been out of service since December 23, 2025. The vehicle is covered under the 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. After a prolonged delay in obtaining replacement parts, a replacement component was installed; however, the replacement part was defective, leaving the vehicle in the same inoperable condition and restarting the repair process. As a result, the vehicle has been out of service for over three months. The failure of a drivetrain-related system, combined with the installation of a defective replacement part, raises concerns regarding reliability and potential safety risks. A sudden loss of system function while the vehicle is in operation could present a safety hazard. The extended delay in repair, along with the defective replacement component, raises concern that this may not be an isolated incident but could indicate a broader component or system reliability issue. I am submitting this complaint to ensure this issue is documented and evaluated for potential wider impact.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving and attempting to stop, the brakes failed to operate as needed. Additionally, while hauling a trailer downhill, the trailer brakes became inoperable, and only the brakes on the vehicle were working as designed. The warning light "Trailer Brakes Disconnected" was displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed but no failure was found. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 105,000.

Fueling issue is a known problem, which should be a recall. They even issued a bulletin about it. Fuel Tank Filling Issues (TSB 14-001-22): Affected 2018–2020 Ram 1500s built on or before June 9, 2020 (3.6L V6) or March 16, 2020 (5.7L V8), often due to a faulty rollover valve within the tank. Symptoms include the gas nozzle clicking off repeatedly, making it difficult or impossible to fill the tank

Air suspension freezes making is useless. This is dangerous and causes back injuries. Parking vehicle in warm garage thaws it but it refreezes quickly outside in use.

When vehicle is subject to hot climates, the media hub will cease to work removing access to phone navigation programs. This can happen mid-drive and cause un-needed distraction. This issue has been ongoing and has been reported to the dealership. The media hub has been replaced also, but the issue continues to happen.

Can't refuel due to what appears to be a stuck rollover valve in the fuel filler neck. Splashes fuel on the ground at the gas pump. This is a major known issue on 5th generation Ram trucks, just give it an online search, or YouTube, and you'll see that this is a common issue. Some people are breaking off the rollover valve, letting it fall into their tank, while others are disconnecting lines to their Evap systems. This issue needs to be addressed by Ram.

A crack developed in the plastic frame of the rear sliding backlite window, allowing water to enter the vehicle cabin from the rear glass area. Water intrusion has been observed on the rear seating surfaces and interior trim during rain and snow events. The condition has been reproduced multiple times during precipitation and car washes. A dealership inspected the vehicle and performed a sealant repair following manufacturer guidance; however, the water leak persists and the crack remains visible. Water entering the passenger compartment presents potential safety risks, including moisture exposure near electrical components, mold growth, and occupant health concerns. Water has entered the rear seating area where child passengers ride. No warning lights or electronic alerts appeared prior to the condition. The issue appears related to a structural failure of the rear backlite frame seal. The condition remains unresolved and may worsen over time if not properly repaired. The component is available for inspection upon request.

Engine went out before life of loan was up. Truck has always been serviced at dealer it was purchased from and has 140k highway miles on it. No warning or indicator lights prior to valve breaking and engine going out. Was in for oil change a month prior.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the air bag warning light unexpectedly illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and it was determined that the air bag had failed and needed to be repaired. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 61,590

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. When the vehicle was purchased, the contact was informed that the vehicle was repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V904000 (STRUCTURE); however, the failure persisted. The contact stated that the tailgate failed to release as intended. The tailgate failed to open. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the vehicle was not inspected or diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

While entering highway- at highway speeds- truck completely lost power luckily we were able to get the burm. Only hazards worked. Truck was not able to be locked or restarted or anything. Truck was towed to dealer and diagnosis is Radio Frequency Hub.

While driving 55mph my vehicle suddenly lost power, causing traffic behind me to blow their horn, then pass me. Thank god the people behind me didnt crash into me. I drove straight to Mechanics. This happened in mid October 2025. I was told its the e torque generator that needed replaced. My mechanic has ordered it several times just for it to refund him due to being out of stock. I have been in contact with ram over this issue since October. One supervisor even said my part was being expedited to mechanic, just to be told by my mechanic no one has reached out to them. This is now February 2026 and I still have no eta on part. Supervisors are not taking my calls nor returning them. Ram needs held responsible. I am still making monthly payments on a vehicle that I can not drive. It almost seems like a fraud situation with over 3,000 people waiting on a single part with no etas.

My 2020 Ram 1500 Laramie was parked in my garage. I started it to let it warm up before driving. The garage started filling with smoke and the smell of fire. I backed the truck out of the garage and noticed flames on my backup camera. The 7 way plug was on fire. I quickly shut the truck off as soon as I got it out of the garage. I put water on the fire to get it out before it took over the back end of the truck. I had drove the truck the day before and filled it up with gas so my life and my son's life was as risk knowing there is a electrical issue. It also was parked in our garage when it started smoking and it could of burnt the whole garage and house down if I didn't get it out of there as fast as I did and noticed it burning. I had contacted 3 dealer ships and they all said sorry we can't help you. I decided to contact Ram directly to file a claim. Ram told me specifically not to take it to any dealer and they would look into it. 3 weeks later they sent out an investigator to my house. They took pictures of the truck and the damage. They plugged in a code reader and it didn't throw any codes. I asked the guy for the report and he said he couldn't give me one. I have since heard back from Stellantis and their email said things like this happen and they have declined any further assistance associated with this fire. They than said to contact the insurance. A fire is a safety issue and there is major concerns of safety. I don't feel safe when they said it was safe to drive after they did the investigation. I took it to a dealer ship to have it repaired and it started to smoke twice driving it to the dealership.

My 2020 Ram 1500 equipped with the 5.7L HEMI eTorque system has experienced repeated failures of the charging system due to the belt starter generator (BSG) / 48-volt hybrid system. The vehicle has shut off unexpectedly while driving in traffic, resulting in sudden loss of engine power and loss of power steering assist. This created a dangerous situation where I had limited ability to control the vehicle and had to coast to the side of the road. The truck has also stalled at low speeds and intersections, requiring a restart while in traffic. When the failure occurs, warning messages related to the charging system or hybrid system may appear, and the vehicle becomes difficult to maneuver due to loss of steering assist. The underlying cause has been identified as failure of the eTorque belt starter generator (BSG) and/or associated 48-volt system components. The vehicle’s 12-volt battery is no longer properly charged, leading to repeated dead battery conditions. I am currently forced to recharge the battery daily to keep the vehicle operational. Replacement parts for this system (Mopar part number 68623194AC or superseding versions) are on national backorder with no estimated availability. My vehicle has been affected for approximately five months, leaving it unreliable and unsafe to operate. This defect creates a serious safety hazard because the vehicle can lose propulsion and steering assist without warning while in motion, increasing the risk of a crash. I am reporting this issue so that NHTSA can investigate potential safety defects in the eTorque hybrid system used in Ram 1500 vehicles.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle was riding very rough and unexpectedly idled with the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact also stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an engine misfire, and the vehicle stalled with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was able to restart. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the camshaft had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 64,462.

Faulty check valve and EVAP canister/vent While fueling the vehicle, the automatic shut-off closes and will not allow it to fill the tank. This causes fuel to spill out due to backing up in the fill hose. It takes approximately 15-20 minutes to fill the vehicle because the fuel backs up, the pump clicks off prematurely, and it will not allow the fuel to flow consistently to complete fueling. When the gas spills out, it splashes on the person filling the tank, on the outside of the vehicle, and on the ground. This is a dangerous safety issue. The vehicles has not been inspected by a dealer or mechanic yet. There were no warning messages or symptoms. The vehicle has 65,000 miles. The vehicle is available for inspection. I understand that this is a common issue for this vehicle and should be recalled.

One day five different warning lights appeared. Since, air bags, seat belt tensioners,traction control,abs,and 4x4 have been disabled

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and while the vehicle was parked, there was water leaking from the rear sliding window during inclement weather. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was determined that the rear sliding window needed to be repaired or replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not yet diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 51,300.

While driving the power plant generator for my engine failed without warning, causing my truck to stop working. There has to be a major issue with the part due to the fact that there is 6000 part back order that has been in going for over 2 years. Someone is going to get seriously injured if this part isn’t recalled and corrected. Having your car shut off at highway speeds is unacceptable. Part number 68623194AC. Ram knows there is a serious issue with this etorque power generator and is not doing anything to resolve the issues, nor making parts available to correct the issue. People trucks are now worthless lawn ornaments

The high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) in the vehicle’s diesel fuel system failed. This component is subject to NHTSA Safety Recall 22V-767 (FCA Recall Z96). The HPFP has failed more than once, including after recall replacement, and the vehicle is currently in dealer custody, making the component available for inspection upon request. The HPFP failure caused the vehicle to stall and become inoperable, resulting in an unexpected loss of motive power. This created a safety risk by leaving the vehicle disabled and unable to be safely driven. The recall itself identifies HPFP failure as a condition that can lead to engine stall without warning, increasing the risk of a crash. The repeat failure after recall repair further increased safety risk. The failure was confirmed by an authorized Ram dealership (Gene’s CDJR of Fairbanks). The dealer documented HPFP failure and fuel system contamination, performed the recall repair, and later confirmed repeat fuel system issues. Most recently, the replacement HPFP failed again during an extended test drive performed by the dealer, confirming recurrence of the defect. The vehicle has been repeatedly inspected by an authorized Ram dealership, including: Recall repair inspection and replacement of the HPFP and related fuel system components, Multiple follow-up inspections after continued symptoms, Diagnostic inspections following check-engine lights, noise, fumes, and loss of drivability. No police or insurance inspections were performed, as this was a mechanical failure handled directly by the dealer under a safety recall. There was no warning prior to the HPFP going out the first time.

While driving, the engine light turned on and the battery light. Truck started shaking and shut off. Lost complete power. Was right next to my driveway thankfully. Very unsafe situation as I have my wife, [XXX] and [XXX]. Had it towed via my insurance progressive. Mechanic confirmed it was the alternator which is a common problem for the etorque alternator ram rebel 2020. Order is back ordered by over 5,000 customers with no eta of getting the part. Very unsafe situation and now unfixable at this time. There should be accountability with Ram. No recalls have been issued, guidance, or reimbursement via Ram. Help would be greatly appreciated.

I am reporting a suspected safety defect involving the Motor Generator Unit (MGU) used in the eTorque system on my Ram 1500. The vehicle experienced an MGU failure that resulted in abnormal electrical behavior, warning messages, and impaired drivability. The vehicle was inspected by an authorized Ram dealership, which confirmed the MGU has failed and requires replacement. The MGU is currently on national backorder with no estimated availability date. As a result, the vehicle is inoperable or unsafe to operate and cannot be repaired in a reasonable timeframe. Why this is a safety concern: The MGU is critical to the vehicle’s starting, charging, and powertrain functions. Failure of this component presents safety risks including loss of propulsion, potential stalling or failure to restart, electrical system instability, and vehicle immobilization in traffic or unsafe locations. The extended inability to obtain replacement MGUs significantly increases these risks. Additional information: Based on dealer communications and publicly available owner reports, similar MGU failures and extended backorders appear to affect multiple Ram 1500 eTorque vehicles, indicating this may not be an isolated incident. Dealer/manufacturer actions: The dealer confirmed the failure and ordered the replacement MGU. No repair timeline or permanent remedy has been provided. Request: I am requesting that NHTSA review this issue to determine whether MGU failures in Ram 1500 eTorque vehicles constitute a safety-related defect requiring investigation and potential recall action.

Vehicle experiences intermittent but repeatable safety-related electrical failures affecting turn signals and blind spot monitoring. The left turn signal remains engaged after canceling and does not shut off unless the opposite turn signal is activated, causing incorrect signaling to other drivers. This occurs without driver input. At the same time, the Blind Spot Monitoring system intermittently displays a “Blind Spot System Unavailable” warning and disables the safety feature while driving, increasing the risk of unsafe lane changes. Vehicle was inspected and diagnosed by an authorized Ram/Stellantis dealer. Dealer verified the concern and documented fault code B2225-00 – Steering Column Module Internal Failure, confirming the steering column control module is malfunctioning internally and not posting correct left/right turn signal inputs. Wiring, grounds, power, and CAN bus communication were inspected and ruled out. Dealer also documented fault code B285F-15 – Blind Spot Warning Light Control Circuit Short to Battery/Open, tracing the blind spot failure to a shorted passenger-side mirror harness, confirmed through load testing and a wiggle test. No aftermarket electrical modifications are present. These failures affect federally required signaling and driver-assist safety systems and occur intermittently, making them unpredictable and hazardous. Vehicle has approximately 48,877 miles and is a 2020 Ram 1500. Concern is ongoing and unresolved without replacement of safety-critical components.

The rear driver-side wheel detached from the axle, resulting in an immediate loss of vehicle control. As a result, the truck left the roadway. The detached wheel landedapproximately 150 feet behind the vehicle, on the opposite side of the road from where the truck ultimately stopped. Insurance has not yet completed its inspection of the vehicle; however, the crack and damage to the wheel were observed at the scene by a volunteer firefighter, the responding officer, and the tow truck operator. Additionally, an independent witness reported that the truck appeared to abruptly lift off the roadway, as though something suddenly caused it to “go flying.” Due to the sudden nature of the incident, no warning lights illuminated prior to the loss of control. All airbags deployed during the incident. The tailgate was dislodged, and the driver’s side of the truck sustained severe damage, including significant damage to the axle. The vehicle is not operable. While insurance has indicated the truck will likely be deemed a total loss, the claim has not yet been finalized. Video documentation is available showing the location of the detached wheel relative to the truck’s final resting position.

I own a 2020 Ram 1500 with approximately 61,000 miles. I started noticing a clicking/grinding around the motor area at around 59,000 miles. I brought the truck to a local mechanic, who diagnosed it as a possible alternator issue. He suggested bringing it to RAM service because it may be covered under warranty. I followed up by bringing it to RAM to diagnose the issue. After multiple visits, they could not pinpoint the issue, however recommended replacing the belts and adjusters. Over the course of the next month, the clicking/grinding got louder. I made another appointment with RAM, and while I was on my way over there the truck had catastrophic failure and seized all operations. Thankfully I wasn't going more then 20MPH or else something really bad could have happened. At that time, the truck was reading code U0594, which translates to "Invalid Data Received From Hybrid/EV Powertrain Control Module". I had to get the truck towed to RAM, where they have now had it for about one month. Originally they had said that I would need to buy a new alternator and associated belts/adjustors and battery because i was beyond any standard warranties on the truck, with estimates over what the vehicle is worth, however some personal research found that there is a federal emissions warranty that covers an issue like this. I was fortunate enough to get a loaner car from the dealer two weeks after my truck seized up. I have read online that this is becoming a more common issue with these trucks and feel the manufacturer should raise a warning to their consumers. Had I been on the highway when this happened, who knows where I could be.

The generator bearings are making a wining noise. It was confirmed by an experienced independent mechanic that the E-torque generator needs replacement. The dealer said the generator is not in stock. Further research showed the part is on back order for months, with thousands of others waiting and in the same boat of no parts available.

This engine has failed by the head gaskets, literally all 4, cracking/breaking. This caused coolant to leak into the engine, mix with the oil, depleating the coolant, thereby causing the truck to overheat and break down. With repairs this continues to happen. 3 times to be exact! This cannot be normal for this engine especially when this happened with less than 90K miles on the engine.

I had just started my vehicle and drove about 3 blocks and was running 40 miles per hour when the truck sounded like it was revving up and it went into neutral and slowed down. I was able to pull to the side of the road and put the truck into park. I put it back into drive and drove back home. It was scary because I had small children with me and it happened at an intersection.

To Whom It May Concern, I am submitting this email to document a vehicle safety issue involving my 2020 Ram 1500 (5.7L eTorque). In November 2025, the vehicle experienced a failure of the eTorque motorized alternator / belt starter generator system, resulting in a loss of the electrical and charging system. As a result, the vehicle became non-drivable. The vehicle was delivered to an authorized Ram dealership on November 18, 2025, and has remained there continuously. The manufacturer (MOPAR / Stellantis) has confirmed the failure is warranty-covered, but has advised that the required part is on indefinite backorder with no firm ETA. As of the date of this email, the vehicle has been out of service for over 60 days and cannot be safely operated. This issue appears to be widely reported nationwide (I was told by Landers Dodge in Norman, OK that the part is on backorder, and that there are currently 4,678 on Back Order. They also said that they’ve had a RAM there since last Oct. 2025 (this was on 12/12/2025 at 12pm) among vehicles equipped with the eTorque system, indicating a potential systemic defect affecting vehicle operability and safety. I am submitting this email in addition to my formal NHTSA complaint to ensure the issue is fully documented. Thank you for your attention.

Has been an ongoing issue since first starting with no remedy from dealerships.

The drivers back seat seatbelt failed. My daughter and I were driving, and I had to stop suddenly, her car seat had been secured with the seatbelt and the seatbelt unlatched and sent her car seat flying through the cab of the truck.

On Thursday, January 8, 2026, I was operating my vehicle when an oncoming single vehicle traveling in the opposite direction entered a curve at an excessive speed, lost control, and crossed into my lane. I attempted to steer away to avoid the collision; however, the oncoming vehicle struck my vehicle along the driver’s side. The collision caused significant damage to the driver's side and resulted in a failure of the passenger-side rear wheel/tire assembly, complete detachment of the tire from the vehicle. During the collision, none of my vehicle’s airbags deployed, despite the side-impact nature of the crash and the force of the collision. 1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The airbag restraint system failed to deploy during a significant collision involving the driver. The vehicle and airbag system remain intact and are available for inspection upon request. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The lack of airbag deployment during a driver-side impact increased the risk of injury to me as the vehicle operator. Airbags are designed to provide supplemental protection in collisions of this type, and the absence of deployment reduced occupant protection. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No diagnostic inspection or reproduction testing has yet been performed. Evaluation by a dealer or manufacturer representative is pending. 4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? Police responded to the accident scene. The incident has been reported to insurance representatives. Manufacturer inspection has not yet occurred, but the vehicle remains available for review. 5. Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No warning lights, dashboard messages, or other symptoms related to the airbag

RF hub has now failed 3 times in the last 10 months. The last time they replaced the third brake like and now I am having the same issue. Dealership is telling me it’s the back window and that they will not pay for the problem to be fixed. Safety at risk by vehicle breaking down with no transportation on the side of the road. Problem has been confirmed by dealership which led to first repair. No warning prior to failure.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while her husband was driving approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle veered off the road. The contact stated that the passenger's and driver's side curtains airbags and the front driver's seat and front passenger's seat side airbags deployed. The contact stated that no collision had occurred during the incident. There was no injury sustained. The air bag warning light was illuminated. The neighbors assisted the driver in cutting the airbags that were obstructing the road visibility. The driver then drove to the residence. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the front driver's side and passenger's side seat belts were replaced because the seat's side air bags deployment had rendered the seat belts inoperable. Additionally, the contact stated that while attempting to refuel the vehicle, the fuel could not enter the vehicle and splashed out. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

No warning indicators, lamps or messages.

My 2020 Ram 1500 multifunction tailgate likely got stuck can’t open

A warning “Service Electronic Stability Control” is on and off when I’m driving. Brought it to local Ram Dealer but they said they can do anything about it.

My 2020 Ram 1500 exhaust manifold leak often causes a loud ticking noise, especially on startup, due to broken bolts or a cracked manifold.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked or while driving, the contact smelled an abnormal exhaust odor, and there was a rattling sound coming from the exhaust manifolds. A dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was out of warranty. The approximate failure mileage was 56,900.

This is a 2020 Ram 1500 3.6L Big Horn. Blinker is constantly on for right turn when blinker arm is in neutral position. The only way to turn it off is to put the blinker arm down as if you are signaling a left turn. As such, I have no left turn signal. This could be dangerous for changing lanes especially on the highway. I have not brought this to a dealer yet and no one has looked at it yet except me. There was/is no warning signal. I have seen recall A2B/NHTSA 24E-082 which identifies two part numbers and also states that similar parts (SCCM) may be affected. I think I have a defective SCCM but there is no recall on my vehicle.

The alternator failed on my vehicle leaving the vehicle without any power in the middle of the interstate roadway having to manually pushed to the side of a very busy highway then towed to a repair shop afterwards. Simply put, my truck just killed in the middle of a interstate very shortly after having a low battery light come on. Speaking with the repair people at the Ram dealership there is no way to repair the alternator and they currently have over 5,000 of these on backorder from them going out in other vehicles with the same alternator. Warning lamps came on the dashboard but only about 30 minutes before the vehicle lost power and was unable to move.

Smoke leaks into cabin when heat is on. Possibly coolant/heating core. I saw many complaints for the same issue on the internet and figured i would make an official complaint

While I was driving my vehicle, the power steering warning came on and moments later the steering wheel locked - I could not steer my vehicle. I stopped the vehicle and it started firing all sorts of warnings. It was like all systems went haywire. Service shifter, service power steering, service electronic stability control, acc/fcw unavailable, service required, service airbag system, collision control, check engine, anti-lock breaks. The windshield wipers started without being tuned on, the engine revved up an got very loud like an airplane engine. I turned off the vehicle. When the tow truck arrived, the truck would not start so he walked away to grab the pulley and the truck started on it's own. My biggest concern is that I lost the ability to steer while I was in motion. I was informed of a VB8 recall for power steering but told my vehicle didn't qualify. This is a serious concern! It is currently with the dealership.

Entered vehicle and notice strong smell of gasoline, driving my young kids to daycare and preschool they complained of the smell and we had to lower windows. Upon dropping them off, went to mechanic who confirmed it was a fuel system issue, fixed a valve. Following few days the truck has issues starting and is stalling and jerking at lights. I return to the mechanic who advises it is the same issue and relates to the fuel pump system failing and they have ordered the part that is on a 45 day backlog. Problem persists and make my trucks unsafe to drive and I am unable to drive it. I have spoken with RAM who advised my truck model is not included in the recall AND is freshly out of warranty. This is extremely frustrating I have to spend thousands to replace this and am unable to drive my truck for approximately 2 months IF the part arrives on time.

The vehicle had 2 leaks; 1 at the rear cabin window and 1 at the rear brake light. Both of these areas are part of a TSB/class action lawsuit. Water was getting in and caused the module to go bad. The module not working in turn caused the battery to die and because of all the failed attempts and overloading the starter, the starter ended up going out after they started fixing the module.

The low beam headlights and high beam headlights do not function properly. I thought that when one of the low beam lights went out that I needed a new bulb. Before I got to changing the bulb out, the other one went out while driving at night. I tried to make it home with my high beams on, but only one was working at the time. While driving, one of the low beams that I thought needed a bulb came back on. It seems as though all four headlights have a short somewhere and the lights work at random or not at all.

After hearing a grinding noise coming from the engine, I took the vehicle (2020 RAM 1500 w/5.7L eTorque) to the dealer. It's been waiting for a replacement MGU (Motor Generator Unit) for over 3 weeks but I'm told it might take months to get a replacement part. Fortunately, I discovered this before having a breakdown on a busy highway or up in the mountains. Had that occured, I most certainly would have lost the ability to steer the truck and braking would have been diminished. I'm hoping this manufacturing defect is elevated to safety recall status in the hope of preventing future loss of life.

I opened my passenger side front door. The running board deployed. When the running board contacted my shin it automatically retracted. However, my dog got his paw caught between the running board and the truck frame. The running board did not sense the obstruction. I had to hold my dog down to close the door and open it again to deploy the running board. My dog bit me in the process because he was scared.

Bolts in the 2nd flange on the exhaust before the muffler break due to manufacture issue. Causes an exhaust leak and an issue with the vehicle power.

The e-Torque motor generator unit is failing, rendering the truck unsafe to drive. Catastrophic failure of this unit while in operation would likely cause loss of control. Signs of failure primarily have been increasing noise in the unit common to bearing failure. The component was inspected by an independent service center and confirmed to need immediate replacement. The part is currently unavailable from any source, and the manufacturer reports a back order with no known date of availability.

My truck was taken to the ram dealership in Conway, AR and they told me it needed an ABS Module and it was ordered and that was in January of 2025 so it has now been almost a year that the part (ABS Module) has been on back order and there is still no ETA. That is a serious issue and my truck that I have still been paying on is not fit to drive safely and hasn’t been since. Something needs to be done about that and time is very much of the essence!

UNKNOWN

My electronic tailgate latches failed while I was driving down the road, I was towing a trailer, the tailgate got pinned between the tongue of the trailer and the jack, below I will provide pictures of both my damaged tailgate and trailer, i know there was a recall on this problem, that problem has already been addressed prior to this incident by the dealer, I believe this is a very unsafe problem to have as it can cause harm to others on the road.

In 2022, I had the dealer replace the driver's visor because it broke and was hanging down by its electrical connection. It was obstructing the drivers forward view. This repair was covered under the bumper to bumper warrantee. In 2025, the visor broke again exactly as before however, this time the repair will not be covered as a defect. Online, there are a lot of people who are having the exact same issue with their visors. I believe that this issue is a major safety issue because it distracts and blocks the drivers view and should become a recall issue

The etorque generator stopped working, I can’t find the part in any dealership since it’s back ordered with no release date on more than 10,000 parts according to all the dealerships

Having problems when fueling up my 2020 Ram Limited. When trying to refuel truck at the gas pump it continuously shut off. Not sure if it's a filter problem or what

I leased this vehicle, brand new. I bought out the lease just over a year ago. The truck has under 113,000 miles. I drove the vehicle to New York for a trip. The motor started, knocking, ticking real bad so I pulled into the shop (Monroe) they looked at the engine and said it's blown. They was no waring/check engine light never came on. Gauges were fine (digital). It cost me 16 grand to put a new motor in and dodge will not cover it. The mechanic also stated, he sees these engine blown (V6) all the time in my RAM and in the Durango's.

ABS module needs replaced. It was recalled in all trucks except for this year model. It is currently on back order and I have been waiting for the part for almost a year! All emergency lights in the dash are on all the time and now when I am driving, the accelerator goes completely dead. It happens randomly and has happened multiple times now. The dealership has accessed this and stated that the ABS module will fix the problem. This is very dangerous and needs to be looked into. Why can’t they fix my truck?

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact previously received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V767000 (Fuel System, Gasoline, Engine) and had the vehicle repaired for a high-pressure fuel pump failure. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the high-pressure fuel pump had failed again and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 104,000.

The mgu/generator went out and left me stranded due to battery failure. I had no steering or power brakes. Everything electrical failed. Have been waiting for new mgu for 2 months.

I took my 2020 Ram 1500 EcoDiese to a Chrysler-Dodge-Ram dealership on 9/23/25 for the High Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) safety recall. I was told a part had to be ordered to complete the recall and gave me a rental vehicle. After a few days I contacted the dealership about my repair. They said the wrong part was ordered and the new one was in route. After about a week, I called the dealership again and I was told "the truck won't start and they were working with Stellantis to figure out why." Several more days passed, I called again, they stated that after the new pump was installed and the truck was started it "blew a rod," but they had fixed it, test drove it, and it would be ready for pick up the next day. I picked up the truck on 10/16/25 and drove less than 50 miles (first trip home from the dealership.) While traveling at highway speed on interstate 77 at night, the truck suddenly lost all engine power, a “throttle” warning message appeared, I noticed a strong odor of burnt oil, and I was only able to get from the left passing lane across to the right truck lane, only getting 2 tires on the shoulder (see pic). The truck would not start again, it just made a click-click-click sound. I jumped out of the truck as there was a truck in that lane coming toward me and ran into the woods to escape. I and the truck were nearly struck by traffic.This was a life-threatening situation. Luckily, a Courtesy Patrol saw me and blocked the lane with road flares. Eventually the truck was towed (had to be dragged on to the flatbed). At that time I noticed engine oil was splashed all over the underside of truck. It was towed to the same dealership.This catastrophic failure occurred hours after I was told it was safe to drive.This incident placed my life and the lives of other motorists at extreme risk. A recall intended to improve safety appears to have introduced a new, severe safety hazard. The truck has been at the dealership since 10/17/25 and I have not been updated since.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal. No warning lights were illuminated. In addition, the contact stated that there was an abnormal sound coming from the engine. The contact was unable to pull over to the side of the road. While the vehicle was still on the road, the contact shifted to park(P) and then back to drive(D), and the vehicle returned to normal functionality. However, the contact stated that the failure had occurred six times. The contact stated that on a separate occasion, while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal sound coming from the engine. In addition, the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the gear knob independently shifted gears. The contact stated that the gear knob was in drive(D) and then independently shifted to park(P). It was unknown if any warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. Most recently, after reversing out of the driveway and then driving forward, the front passenger’s side mirror independently moved inwards. The failure obstructed the driver's visibility and prevented the driver from safely operating the vehicle. The contact pulled over to the side of the road and manually pulled the front passenger’s side mirror outward. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 62,000.

Exhaust manifold bolt broken causing exhaust gasses to leak in engine bay. Due to location of exhaust leak, it pulls exhaust gases into cab.

The tensioner pulley seized up causing the serpentine belt to break and taking the MGU E Torque Alternator out. We have learned that there are no MGU parts available and we are one of 4000 waiting with no ETA available. You can’t buy a used one as they can not be reprogrammed to a different truck.

THE REARVIEW CAMERA ON THE VEHICLE DISPLAY A BLACK SCREEN IN PLACE OF THE REARVIEW IMAGE. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED BY THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND AFTER A WHILE THE REARVIEW CAMERA DISPLAY A BLACK SCREEN AGAIN. THIS IS AN ISSUE WHEN BACK PARKING OR JUST GETTING OUT FROM PARKING SPOT. ITS HARD TO SEE WHAT ITS BEHIND, SPECIALLY CHILDREN WALKING BEHIND IT. PLEASE I ASK TO LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE FURTHER SINCE I CONSIDER IT CAN PREVENT ANY FUTURE ACCIDENTS.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving at 20 MPH, the message "Alternator Fault Detected" was displayed. The vehicle lost motive power and came to a complete stop in the middle of the roadway, where the vehicle was unable to restart. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 40,000.

There is an issue with the turn signal and apparently all models 2021-beyond have this recall. The right turn signal will not turn on at all, and the left is always on when in neutral. This issue has come and gone but it’s been the case for the last few weeks again.

I purchased a brand new 2020 Ram 1500 with 5.7-liter hemi ETORQUE engine in 2020. The vehicle had been making a squealing noise since before 40k miles. Dealership was unable to identify issue on numerous occasions. On 4/8/2024, with vehicle mileage at 74k miles, the noise worsened to a point where the vehicle was not drivable. They identified the "Alternator" (MGU) to the etorque needed to be replaced. The part was on back order and did not arrive until 6/24/2025. At which the dealership replaced the part and expedited the return of the vehicle without proper assurance that the replaced part, fixed the vehicles problem. Less than 375 miles later, a system battery saver came up on the dash. Turning off all electronics in the vehicle including but not limited to A/C and radio. Temps were more than 100 at this time. Within less than 550 miles, the vehicle lost all power and shut off while in the middle of an interstate. I lost my power steering and luckily was able to move onto a narrow shoulder but was left in a very dangerous situation with my family on the side of a high-speed interstate, awaiting a tow truck for hours, without rear end protection. There were a lot of close calls and no urgency from RamCare Stellantis. I was told that the vehicle can only be seen by a certified ram technician. The only certified Ram Dealership that was willing to help was more than 30 minutes away, where the vehicle still sits today. Now the vehicle has been at a dealership since that break down on 7/3/2025. Awaiting another back ordered part, with no estimated eta. This time it is awaiting a 48V Power Pack, related to 8yr/80k mile warranty. I am having to pay out of pocket for a rental, while still paying on a car loan and insurance on a vehicle I have not been able to use since April. Customer service has been horrific handling my case. Leaving myself with no certainty that I will ever see my vehicle again or if the long awaited back ordered part will in fact fix the issue.

Automatikgetriebe Schalthebel auf " P " verriegelt. Schalthebel kann man nicht aus der Parkposition lösen. Seit 16,08,2025 steht Auto in der Werkstatt.

My 2020 Ram 1500 etorque had a major breakdown. My husband was driving down the highway in a construction zone when he lost power steering, power brakes and then the vehicle totally shut down. He had to steer it to the side of the highway, barely making it. We had the vehicle towed to the dealership who ran diagnostics on it and told us the Mechanical Generator Unit (MGU) needed to be replaced. The major issue: the MGU could not be found anywhere in the US. They wasn't able to order / backorder from anywhere. They said it could take months or longer to get the part. We couldn't go indefinitely without our truck so the dealer recommended we trade it in. That was our only option so that was what we were forced to do. We did not want another vehicle!! Ours was paid off.

While driving on highway service power steering warning light came on and I lost power steering nearly resulting in a crash. Vehicle towed to dealership. Electronic power steering was faulty and had to be replaced along with the entire rack and pinion gear at a cost of nearly $4k

Turn signal does not shut off regardless of the position of the turn signal switch. Appears to be an issue with the SSCM. The malfunction makes safe turning/lane-changing impossible. It has been confirmed by the dealership but has not been inspected. There was no forewarning prior to the malfunction and no indication besides the malfunction itself.

The Emission Device 'Active Grill Shutters' have failed for a 2nd time, with a MIL on my perfectly maintained, once at 38K, then again on 9/10/25 @45K mile truck. A Google search leads to likely 100's of other Ram 1500 Owners reporting the same issue and resultant MIL. The prominent cause of the issue appears to be the Electrical Connector. Some reports indicate seriously melted wires, and I assume a fire risk if not corrected. The dealer says it's a $525 repair. Please help me and 100's of others with this serious issue. Also I noticed a Similar Recall Action on Nissan for Active Shutters.

The Engine Generator Kit - Mopar part# (68623194AB) failed which drained the battery and when I stopped at a red light it put me in park and I couldn’t get into gear to move the truck, a tractor trailer almost hit me while sitting in the roadway. If I order this part which is on back order for over a month I will be the 4,601 person this has happened to. I feel this is a recall safety concern. Thank you.

I have had to replace the Driver's Side sun visor on my truck twice due to failure of the bracket holding the visor in place. The most recent time this happened was this month (August 2025). While I was entering the freeway in heavy traffic the visor fell down and was flopping in my face while I was traveling at approximately 70mph. I had the sun in my face, traffic beside me and had to use my left hand to catch the visor while avoiding a collision with a truck. The problem does not seem to be isolated to the Ram line of vehicles as we had the same problem with visor failure on my wife's 2023 Jeep Wagoner (vin [XXX] ). The bracket that holds the visor in place has a "push in tab/fitting" made of inferior material that is only about 1/8" thick and needs to be redesigned. I have attached photos of the failed part. Regards, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

On June 26, 2025 there was heavy thunderstorms throughout our area. I was driving to my office to pick up an item and all of a sudden my dashboard lit up with numerous error messages. I turned the truck off and could not get it to start again. I had to have it towed to the dealership and they cleaned some electrical connectors and returned it to me. My wife picked it up and on the drive home the windshield wipers went off and she also had numerous error messages on the dashboard so we returned it to the dealership. They replaced some modules as they found rust and returned the truck to me. When I went to the dealership to pick it up the truck would not start. They then said there was some corrosion in the star connectors and some moisture behind the radio. They replaced parts and returned it back to me. Since then I have had the truck back and had three more electrical issues with the vehicle. The service technician does not know what the error is and is having trouble pinpointing the problem. Its an electrical issue that they can't figure out. Tomorrow I am returning my truck for the sixth time for the same issue. I do not trust the truck to drive around and have not been able to use it for over 60 days.

2020 RAM 1500 with a bad MGU (Motor-Generator Unit). Dealer says they have 2 trucks already waiting on the same part since January. There is a massive backlog and Chrysler is not offering anything on when this will be available. It's on an "engineering hold". It will eventually fail in these trucks and render them inoperable. Waiting 8-9 months for a part should never be an option in any scenario. This is also covered under the Federal Emissions Warranty.

Generator/altenator. MGU system. Vehicle was hard to crank at store. After it cranked it seemed fine until I went to pull into traffic. Then it completely died In the middle of the road where I was nearly t boned by a garbage truck. All power was gone. No lights, no radio not a thing worked. After 10 minutes waiting in my wife, it cranked. I was driving home and it started smelling something burning like rubber in the cab. Apparently it was the battery in the back seat over heating. It never crunk again and is now in the shop after being towed. MGU failure and burnt batteries. On back order for months is what I am hearing.

RAM has a bad design on MGU's, new ones and old ones are failing, whining, causing engine spudder and no movement at times. Can't purchase one because RAM has them on "Engineering HOLD". Therefore they no they have an issue, not offer a replacement. I have been advised if they become available I'm looking at $2,000 for an alternator. That is insane.

While refueling my 2020 Ram 1500 Laramie with the large (33 gal) fuel tank, the fuel pump "vacuum-assisted automatic shutoff" or "nozzle shutoff mechanism" is triggered dozens of times prior to the tank actually reaching a full level. I have been experiencing this issue consistently for the past year and it has occurred, to the same degree, at each of the fill-ups conducted at a variety of gas stations during this time. I've had an independent service center diagnose the issue and they recommended I take it to a dealer for service and also report the issue because this has been a common issue they have seen. Other Ram 1500 owners on internet forums also report having had this issue. The safety issue is that gas may become trapped in a fuel system component where it shouldn't be collecting which exposes vehicle occupants to an increased risk of fire in the event of an accident. Furthermore, this condition makes it nearly impossible to know when the fuel tank is full because the shutoff mechanism is triggered many times prior to full. This results in over-filling the tank and possibly having fuel remain in the filler neck, which also unnecessarily increases the risk to vehicle occupants to fire or explosion if involved in an accident. Vehicle owner manuals and gas station pump warning stickers typically warn operators of the dangers of over-filling or "topping off" fuel tanks specifically for this reason. With the system not operating correctly, the risk of overfilling is severe and unsafe.

The contact's mother owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal knocking sound coming from the vehicle, and the on/off switch and battery low level warning lights were illuminated. The contact drove the vehicle to a nearby parking lot. The contact stated the engine seized while driving at 5 MPH. The contact stated that the failure was due to a failed motor generator unit. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with a failed motor generator unit. The contact was informed that the motor generator unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was being repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failur,e and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 95,000.

Failure of the Motor Generator Unit (MGU). This part is available for inspection and review. The failure of this component can result in complete immobilization of the vehicle which poses a significant safety risk for users and pedestrians alike. The problem has been a wide-spread issue for the Ram 1500 series. This issue was acknowledged by Ram and Stelantis. Ram has reviewed my MGU and confirmed that the component is faulty. The only warning was a whining noise and then the vehicle became completely incapacitated.

On multiple occasions while making a slow turn. My vehicle would shut off put itself in park and set the emergency brake. My truck does have the etorque and I see this is a known issue with etorques. I it happened a few times and I thought it was just a fluke but after my last incident I did some research and found out it is an issue.

I own a 2020 RAM 1500 Big Horn 4WD with the 5.7L HEMI eTorque system. The vehicle began making a whining noise while running. A certified diagnosis confirmed the failure of the engine generator unit, part number 68623194AB, which is required to keep the eTorque system functional. This part has been on nationwide backorder for an extended period with no estimated time of arrival from Mopar or the dealership. The vehicle is currently undriveable and unsafe, and I have not been given a timeline or support for alternative transportation. The unavailability of this critical hybrid powertrain component has made my vehicle unusable for weeks, and I’ve seen numerous reports from other RAM owners experiencing the same issue with no resolution. There is a serious risk to safety and reliability if this continues to be ignored. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this widespread part shortage and potential manufacturer defect. There should be a recall or mandated parts response for affected vehicles if the manufacturer cannot supply replacement components for a core electrical system.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, the message "Service High Pressure Fuel Pump" was displayed. The check engine warning light was illuminated, and the vehicle lost motive power. The contact was able to pull over to the right side of the roadway. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle, and the vehicle operated as intended. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V767000 (Fuel System, Gasoline, Engine); however, the repair failed to fix the vehicle. The failure reoccurred after the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 35,000.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500 Promaster. The contact stated that after parking and turning the vehicle off, he left it for approximately 10 minutes. The vehicle spontaneously caught fire. The contact was alerted that his vehicle was on fire. The contact noticed that the passenger-side headlight had smoke and flames four feet high. There were no warning lights illuminated prior to the failure. The contact and a bystander extinguished the fire. There were no reported injuries. A call was made to 911 emergency services regarding the incident. The fire and police departments were on the scene. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who determined the failure was due to the wire harness and headlight assembly. A claim was submitted to the insurance company. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted regarding the failure and left 7 voicemails along with emails but no response as of yet. The failure mileage was approximately 67,168.

While driving my 2020 Ram Rebel, the driver side seat belt locked up and will no longer retract. I took the vehicle into the Larry H. Miller Chrysler dodge dealership and they attempted to fix it but they were not successful. My truck only has 58,809 miles on it and they stated that it was no longer under warranty and that I would have to pay to replace it (roughly $750). Prior to the seatbelt locking, there were no indications that something was wrong. I believe not having a seatbelt that works properly puts myself or anyone else that would drive my vehicle at great risk if there was an accident.

My control knob is not responding to my truck and I cannot open doors or turn it on and it’s asking me for anti theft code all of a sudden. I took it to the dealer and they say alote of trucks are having the same problem. They say It could be the module reader. Now my truck is not reacting to nothing at all.

The turn signal was stuck blinking to the right even in the neutral position. The only way to make it stop was to click it into the left turn indicator. This rendered the lane blind spot inoperative.

I am writing to report a serious and dangerous issue with my 2020 Ram 1500. The vehicle has been randomly shutting off while I am driving, often accompanied by a strange acceleration or revving sound just before the engine dies. This has occurred multiple times without warning, creating an extremely unsafe driving situation. The issue happens at random and cannot be easily reproduced on demand, which I understand may make it difficult to diagnose. However, it is important to emphasize that this is a major safety risk that could easily result in a crash or injury.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel failed to turn in the intended direction. In addition, the “Service Power Steering” warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled in the middle of a busy roadway. The contact stated that her small children were occupants of the vehicle during the failure. The contact was able to get the vehicle over to the shoulder of the roadway. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The contact referenced a recall with a similar failure; however, the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 109,857.

Parts number 68623194AB, generator kit for alternator. This part went out on my Ram, Ram is backed up for months on this part. There are more than 10,000 vehicles with this problem. Im also being told that the product is not being produced at the moment, which puts my vehicle out of commission until the part arrives.

Ram issued a TSB 23-098-23 REV. A for the rear window leaking. Water has soaked the inside around the air bags all down the rear seats and floor. I’m concerned the issue could have damaged my air bags and the electrical in the vehicle. Vehicle rear window has been replaced in 2023. Still leaking water in around the rear airbags.

Power steering light continually goes on and off. Took it to dealership and they said they’ve had many many new models of this Ram come in with the same problem. They quoted me for a gear rack saying it’s some kind of defect and the whole thing would need replaced (2,000$ +). I’ve looked through forums and countless drivers have reported the same issue. I’ve had this truck for just over 100,000 miles, with regular maintenance to every aspect of it. I don’t feel we should be responsible for a fault of the manufacturer. Please help!

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact became aware of coolant fluid stains on the ground. The contact stated that while driving 40 MPH, there was an abnormal sound coming from the radiator fan. Upon inspection, the contact noticed that coolant fluid had accumulated on the fender under the radiator. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the radiator seal had failed. The contact was advised that the radiator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

The dashboard leather on my 2020 Ram Longhorn (VIN [XXX] ) has severely bubbled and separated from the underlying structure. The warping creates dangerous glare and distortion in the windshield, compromising forward visibility. Additionally, the deformation extends over the passenger side airbag panel, raising serious concerns about whether the airbag can deploy correctly. This is a well-documented defect on 2019–2020 Ram Longhorn dashboards due to adhesive failure, not wear and tear. FCA/Stellantis is aware of the issue and has issued technical bulletins, but many vehicles remain unrepaired. This should be treated as a safety issue and addressed via recall or extended coverage. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Cracked exhaust manifold. I know of three people, besides myself, with the 2020 Ram with 5.7 literally Hemi that have had cracked exhaust manifold. Mopar has a technical service bulletin, but the cost to repair is on me.

Software issue with 12' display unit. The issues began occurring over the past several months. Sirius XM radio frequently searching for signal lasting for hours, and nothing else would play, not the radio nor the Pandora app with UCONNECT. The backup camera displayed on the screen when in D. Then, on 6/10/2025, the backup camera stopped working altogether. When shifted into R, 12' display shows a blue screen with "Camera System Unavailable." The camera control buttons are fixed in position. On 6/11/2025, the 12' display showed Sirius XM subscription update and left me with the Sirius preview screen even though I have a subscription. This lasted several hours. Upon, restart, Sirius shows loading again. Still no backup camera.

Replaced the RFH Hub twice in this vehicle do to water damage. 1st time under warranty, the 2nd out of pocket. Noticed the second time they replaced the Backlit light seal under an extended warranty (XL1 Warranty) where the water came in from. Both repair receipts enclosed and a picture of another vehicle they were replacing the seal while picking up my repaired vehicle. Investigation revealed, they use to fix the back siding window seal which cost $1300, but they replaced the Backlit at $25, now I'm on the hook for $1081.71 and change. $936.71, for the repair, $144.00 for the tow, the same spot it was towed from the first time it happen. Both times it had rained heavily. Filed a reimbursement case with FCA, Case#93175918, they have yet to get back to me.

When filling up the gas nozzle shut of and fuel will spill out. I have to listen for the fuel in the neck b4 it gets to top. It takes forever to fill.

Currently Ram has extended its warranty on the back break light due to a leaking/sealant issue on certain models and years. The truck also leaks through the window frame that crakes in these vehicle's. It seems that maybe this isn't being looked at as a safety concern and think it should be. Water leaking in due to this issue is now causing stagnant water. I have 2 kids that sit in the back of the truck and have been subject to breathing in the mold that has built up. I believe the result of mold growth is a great safety concern. I have seen this complaint all over the internet and even on the 5th generation website. I think a full investigation on this should be done immediately. It also seems Ram is aware of the issue because they no longer install this window. We have always had the issue but never understood why the truck had a bad smell to it. It took a very long time to finally realize the smell was coming through the back window and into the cabin but behind the seats. My truck is a 2020 Dodge Ram Laramie 5th generation with less then 25,000 miles on it. I attached a list of webites that immediately pop up when you type Dodge back window leak

My truck would engage the emergency braking without any objects near. Battery needed to be replaced due to not charging. The etorque is making noise and vibrating.

The power steering froze and caused me to lose control. Almost hitting my car port. Thank goodness I wasn’t on the highway. Up to that point it operated perfectly. According to internet common problem that has caused accidents. Factory will not repair. Truck currently unmovable

Loss of stability control,power steering,anti lock brake system,air bags,speed control. Has been at Dodge Dealer multiple times with the exact reoccurring problem.

While driving power steering warning lights come on and power steering goes out. The power steering warning lights come on and go off with loss of power steering intermittently but only after unit heats up. Loud noise such as a fan comes on prior to the steering warning lights coming on and power steering going out. Had a mechanic diagnose the issue and he said the power steering rack and pinion needed to be replaced and cost would be around $3800 Very dangerous especially when power steering goes out while turning. New OEM power steering rack & pinion ordered today 5-21-2025

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 65-70 MPH and towing a trailer, the traction control engaged, and the vehicle went into LIMP Mode. The Police had aided with getting the vehicle off the roadway. The traction control and engine warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, and two unknown local dealers were unable to determine the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The brake control was previously replaced. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the dealer and the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 2,500.

Sitting in traffic, truck started overheating. Gauge was jumping all over. Truck had to be turned off

Exhaust manifold is ticking after only hitting 47k miles. Of course the warranty has been out for a month now. The dealership won’t cover it quoting me $3,200 to replace both of them.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that whenever the weather was below 50-degrees, after refueling the vehicle, the gasoline started spilling out of the fuel filler neck. The contact stated that refueling the fuel tank slowly prevented the gasoline from spilling out of the fuel filler neck. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer to be diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the fuel pump and gas tank were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000.

The windshield wiper system is currently pumping wiper fluid but not on the windshield, instead it is somehow sending it to the passenger side of the front hood and draining directly on the ground. I took it to the dealer and was told several other vehicles came in with the exact same issue and was told it would be addressed but as of now it has not

Spring of the driver side strut collapsed at 34,000 miles.

There was a griding under the hood and may lights went out. The dealer said my ETORQUE/alternator needed to be replace. That was done approximately 4/10/25 under an extended MO PAR warranty. Since getting the truck back, it has stalled on me 3 separate times, all at red lights. Twice when the 'auto stop' was engaged and then the car lurched forward after the stall had occurred for about 2 seconds, the third time the 'auto stop' was off, and the stall occurred for about 4 seconds, the car rolled backwards even though it was in drive and then it lurched forward and went. Dealership can't replicate the issue so they are telling me can't fix anything. I am very worried that the car will stall on me at another light or on the highway and something very terrible will happen.

Due to the recall Z96/NHTSA 22V-767 my fuel pump failed in 2023, causing my check engine light to come on due to a fuel injector warning. The dealership replaced the fuel pump, but nothing else was replaced or checked. In April 2025, my check engine light came back on for a #4 Glow Plug issue. The truck at this point had 56k miles on it, and was out of warranty. I took it to a local mechanic, who found the glow plug had shrapnel on it, causing it to fail. He believes it is due to the high pressure fuel pump failure the previous year, releasing debris into the fuel system. This is a safety issue due to the loss of engine power, and if multiple cylinders are affected could cause the vehicle to go limp.

Have a whirring, whining noise and at my Feb 2025 service, was told it was the e-torque assembly bearing and it was loose. Part is on back order for months since this is a common issue and will cost over $1400 for part alone. Was told not covered under warranty but believe that the dealership is wrong BUT am reading it was recalled in the 2021 RAM 1500 but I am having same issue with my 2020 and I am reading I am not alone.

So I am driving on the freeway 70mph and I get a message on my dash that says service shifter then every single light on the dash came on and started to make a beeping noise. I pulled over on the side of the freeway and then all the lights dissappear except check engine. I continued to drive to next exit and this time all lights came on again and truck appeared to be shutting off and turning back on while driving, steering wheel got hard to move all while all lights turning on, on dash. I have taken to shop 3 times first time they told me it was battery so I purchased battery and diagnostic fee for 600. Still continued to have issues even after replacing battery. Then they tell me they don't know what's causing this issue and the truck hasn't been fixed. I'll let the truck sit a few days and check engine light is gone and it will drive normal until the issues pops up again. I just don't know what to do about issue and have lost hope nobody seems to know what's causing thr issue. I have videos of this happening multiple times and I show to shops and they are just im awe and can't figure out what is happening. This happened to me yesterday 4/25/25 and while driving the truck started to show all lights on dash and immediately put itself into park while I was driving about 20 mph. Turned the truck off and started it back on again and got the service shifter message and drove home slowly and truck sat in driveway. I've taken in the truck multiple times and nobody seems to know what is causing the issue and I'm tired of spending money things they believe it to be. Any help would be greatly appreciated as we are starting to lose hope on this vehicle and are thinking about letting get repossessed as it's not useful to us if it can't be fixed

MGU failure leading to car battery being completely drained and unable to run until replaced. Started with bearing noise coming from MGU alternator. Then check engine light came on. Before long a low voltage alarm appeared and was able to safely pull over before truck died. Truck is now unable to be driven until replacement of MGU. Dealer has been unable to source part for over a month and could be at least another month before part is ready to come in. Issue appears to be pretty common on 5.7 L Hemi E-torque Ram 1500's as was told part on back order at this time for over 3,000 other customers

The alternator generator is making us squeaky noise. I’m afraid that it’s gonna seize as I drive and I’ll lose power of the brakes and the steering checked with the dealer. They don’t have the part. They don’t know when they’re gonna be able to get it the part. I called junkyards call other auto parts stores. No one has got it’ I also went in the Mopar website and they also don’t have it

Steering became sluggish, jerky and erratic. Started sounding like the power steering pump was struggling/straining. I put it in the shop and they claim it’s the eps and rack and pinion gone bad. It is being replaced. How unsafe is this at low or highway speed? How many other complaints are there on this same subject and part? 2019 eps was recalled. How do I find out if I have 2019 parts in my 2020. I know sometimes they are interchangeable. I look forward to hearing from you.

Driving down the road, my auto start stop failure light appeared on dash, followed by a check engine light and a battery light. Tried to pull over on the side of the road when I lost all electrical components including power steering, ac, radio etc. the truck slammed itself into park abruptly and turned itself off. I was stranded on the side of the road and nearly got hit by passing cars several times as I was in a curve in the road. After further investigation it has been determined that the bearings inside of the generator (part number: 68623194AB) went out. The part needed to fix the truck is not being made by the supplier and I have been nearly 2 months and counting paying for a truck to sit and look pretty as the truck is completely unusable. One dealership told me this part was on back order for over Five thousand customers.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving 25 MPH, the vehicle shut off; however, the vehicle kept running for several more feet. The contact attempted to bring the vehicle to a stop. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the residence. While the vehicle was at the residence and turned off, the alarm sounded. The vehicle was then towed to a dealer, but it was not yet diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 77,000. The VIN was not available.

Suddenly engine light, tps and shifter turned on , I restarted the vehicle and disappeared but later my truck did not start and it is dead

The contact owns a 2020 RAM 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the rear windshield inexplicably shattered. No warning lights were illuminated.

The failure mileage was 20,000.

The 48V Belt Starter Generator failed on my 2020 Ram 1500 with the 5.7L eTorque system. It caused my truck to stall in the middle of a busy intersection at a red light. The battery drained fast, and I couldn’t move the truck out of the way. I was stuck in a dangerous spot cars were coming around a turn at 45–55 mph, and since my hazard lights started dying too, I had to get out in the rain and wave people away so they wouldn’t hit me. I was honestly afraid for my life. I ended up calling 911 and my insurance to get towed out of there. Before it happened, I saw a battery warning and something about the battery system. A mechanic and a dealer confirmed the issue was the 48V generator. I started calling around for the part, and every dealer I spoke with told me it’s on national backorder. One told me there were over 2,600 people already waiting for it, another said over 3,000 are on the list and no one has any idea when they’ll get them. There are a lot of people dealing with this, and it’s not just an inconvenience it’s dangerous. This part failing leaves people stranded in traffic, sometimes without power or lights. Something needs to be done. A recall would be the right thing.

Truck was responding perfectly fine until we stop to watch a movie at the theater last night. After the movie I turn on the truck and notice my power steering was not working and everything else on my truck works fine.

The motor generator has effected the ess (engine start stop) system and at a stop it does not restart the vehicle when you let off the brake. It startes and then jumps forward creating a safety hazard if there is a vehicle in front of you or a pedestrian in the crosswalk. This is a concern that seems to happen with this system frequently through web searches that I have seen. My truck is at a dealer now to diagnose the problem with the system.

There is a high whining noise followed by a loss of power steering. There is a recall for the EPs system that stopped in 2019; however, 2020 is still using the same part. The recall should be extended to cover all vehicles manufactured using the part numbers associated with this issue. My truck is only at 50k miles, never off-roaded or abused, and maintained religiously by my personal mechanic. I was driving at 78 mph, and the steering locked up due to this issue. This created a hazardous scenario for me. The wheel released moments later, causing me to overcorrect and almost hit another car traveling on the highway in the adjacent lane. This has happened several times over the past week. I have adjusted my driving style until I can afford this VERY costly repair.

This is the second time this has happened (03APR25). The first time this occurred, 20JUL25, I had to pay (Bill attached) to have the ABS Module replaced. Today several service lights came on not limited to: Service 4wd, 4wd Trans Case overheat, stabilization system, and the traction control light came on along with the 4wd High light and both the 4wd High and 4wd Low indicator lights were all flashing. When parked the emergency parking brake was automatically set. (break) I have all the documentation from the first occurrence and an additional recall notice (Attached) of which states contact the dealer, whom said that it was not their responsibility. Then I contacted Stellantis recall office, and they said they would get back with me and never have and today most all the sensor faults flashed on the display. The truck locked in 4 high up until I parked it.

1. Safety Issue 1: Cracked Exhaust Manifold & Exhaust Leak Description: Loud knocking noise on startup, strong exhaust fumes entering cabin. Dealer Diagnosis: Both exhaust manifolds cracked, multiple broken bolts. Risk: Potential carbon monoxide poisoning, engine damage, and fire hazard. Dealer Response: Refused repair, quoted $3,500. No assistance from Chrysler. Pattern Failure: Online forums show many owners with identical issues—clearly a manufacturing defect. 2. Safety Issue 2: Dashboard Delamination & Toxic Fumes Description: Dashboard surface peeling, strong chemical odor in cabin. Risk: Toxic off-gassing causes headaches/nausea; peeling material obstructs visibility. Pattern Failure: Widespread reports for this model/year—faulty adhesive is to blame. Manufacturer Negligence: Chrysler and dealerships are aware but refuse responsibility, blaming "wear and tear." Exhaust leaks and toxic interiors are unacceptable safety hazards—yet no recall exists. Request to NHTSA: Investigate these defects for potential recall. Force Chrysler to acknowledge and repair affected vehicles. Urgency: Driving this vehicle is a health risk. NHTSA must act before more are harmed.

The Alternator Generator (MGU) failed and I was driving on the road when it happened causing the electronics to start going dark one after the other then dark screen and lost power steering. Thank God I was close to the side of the road and rolled out of traffic's way. The truck was towed to the mechanic who confirmed it is the MGU. The problem is that this part is on back order with no ETA. So I have a 2020 RAM Laramie with 39,000 miles only sitting in the shop. If this happened on the highway, an accident would have been guaranteed. I was simply lucky.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that when the vehicle was started, on several occasions the contact observed an abnormal ticking sound coming from the front of the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 80,000.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that the trim on the rear glass detached and failed to prevent water from entering inside the vehicle.

Drivers side visor broke at the support point and fell down obscuring drivers' vision while driving on the highway. Required holding visor up with one hand while pulling over. This situation has reoccurred several times while waiting for an appointment at the dealer. Broken plastic shaft is the cause. Upon inspection this is an under sized plastic shaft. Other sources report this is a common problem since 2019. It is a dangerous situation having your vision blocked while in traffic. Ram says it is an out of warranty, pay for the repair issue. Vehicle has 49500 miles. New visor looks like the old one.

Around 86,000 miles, a metallic like noise that one would associate with a worn bearing began within what i determine to be the E-torque MGU. Subtle at first, but you could tell something wasn't the same with the sounds you hear within the engine. Between then and my current 88,800 miles, the metallic sounds has gotten more aggressive, which is logical to assume that might happen if a bearing part is wearing down. Just today, 3/21/2025, an uncomfortable rattle sound and visible vibration of the MGU unit appeared suddenly, making me uncomfortable to drive the vehicle any further without immediate repair for fear of risking un-necessary damage to other critical engine componenets.

Smoke, burning smell entering cabin area while driving and using heater. Look up issue, found many people had the same problem involving heater core leaking/failing early.

MY STABILITY CONTROL WARNING IS CONSTANTLY GOING ON

Motor Generator Unit is making a whining noise, confirmed by the dealership that it's a bearing within the unit going bad. Per the dealer the MGU is on national indefinite backorder and from my research have been since at least January. If the MGU goes bad it shuts the vehicle down. Can be very dangerous if driving on a busy interstate or highway to suddenly lose power or possibly strand you on a road in bad weather. The backorder for this item seems to be a reoccuring issue.

Installed trailer brake assist. When we shut the truck off, the brake lights came on and stayed on. Assured by B&B trailer of St Augustine, Fl that it was an issue with the truck and not the part. Other issues have come up- dash lights also come on when turned off, backup camera, remote start, rear defrost, cig lighter plug, rear speakers, and A/C stopped working. Took it to Daytona Dodge on 1/29/25 where they diagnosed the ABS module had failed. They did a system reset and everything was ok until we had to disconnect the battery again- had to install a switch on the battery so lights staying on doesn’t kill the battery. Was told they’d let us know when a new part came in- mid February. Called Ram HQ on 2/17- case # [XXX] and that was no help. Referenced recall 85B and she said it was for a 2d row seating issue and said no ETA on new parts being made. My truck was mfg 2/2020 so how the software update recall doesn’t apply makes no sense. Would it have prevented this, who knows. Then called the dealer up and spoke to Stephen, a svc mgr, who recommended buying a used one ( he said aftermarket but I don’t think there is such a thing) and they would put it in. Got one from eBay and went on [XXX]. After I sat there all morning, I was told they couldn’t override the Vin that’s already on a used part. I have tried calling and emailing the service management team for follow up since then with no response. This is an abomination of customer care and needs attention. I’m hoping these parts are coming soon and that people like me are reimbursed and compensated for time lost and diagnostic fees and parts and labor. Also hoping this recall is expanded/redone to include my truck as there’s no reason it shouldn’t. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

While trying to fuel vehicle, it will not take fuel , fueling sprays gasoline out of the fueling tube ,

My 2020 Ram 1500 5.7L e-Torque started making a noise. I then received a "Battery" indicator Light, then received an "Engine" indicator light. I was losing voltage on my battery. The truck is now at the Dealership. The alternator has failed (87k miles). No one has the part. It's been on back order since November 2024. Online research indicates that over 3000 are on back order. I can't even place an order with Mopar (Genuine Ram Parts Supplier). I'm also told that the repair will be $2300 - seems like a lot for an alternator that you can't get that can be replace in about an hour.

ETorque alternator failure. Driving down the freeway going 70MPH my truck went into complete shut down mode. Luckily I was in the right lane near an exit and was able to get out of a potential bad accident by breaking down on the freeway. Was told by the dealership and Mopar that this was not covered by any extended warranty and that this would be a $2000 fix with an unknown lead time as the part is on global backorder. I have been without a vehicle Since December 27th. was told 5000 of these parts were released on 2/17 but I would not be getting one of those. Still no line of sight to getting this part to fix my truck. Clearly based on this information and other posts this is a major issue with the ETorque Rams and a recall should be put in place and Mopar and Stellantis need to pay for this and fulfill these backorders ASAP. Being without a vehicle going on 2.5 months with no fix in sight is unacceptable.

I purchased a new Dodge Ram 1550 Big Horn in July of 2020. To date I have only 21,000 miles on this vehicle. In January of 2023, at the 12,555 mile mark, they had to install a new fuel delivery line and fuel tank because I was unable to fill the tank. This was due to the rollover valve molded into the top of the tank malfunctioning and sticking. 25 months and 9,000 more miles later, I am once again battling this same issue. Dodge states there is no recall on this item, yet there are thousands of online posts with people screaming "why is there no recall". This is costing us as consumers thousands of dollars in unrealistic repairs. I'm unsure if this is the correct venue to vent this, but can anyone help?

Vehicle has stalled twice while approaching stop signs, given me a “service start/stop system” light and makes a loud whining noise. These symptoms are caused by a faulty eTorque generator. The generator is on back order for nearly 5000 other customers experiencing issues with the eTorque system. It is extremely unreliable and will cause accidents if the generator breaks and stalls the truck while in motion. A recall should be issued ASAP and Stellantis should be pressured to fulfill the back orders for those experiencing faulty generators.

Every winter, since 2020 when I fill my gas tank with gas, the nozzle stops every time I squeeze the gas pump at the gas station. My tank will only take a couple gallons before the nozzle stops. I spend upwards of an hour at the gas station to just fill up my tank half way. Stellantis makes faulty gas tanks and has been for years. This faulty gas tanks forces customers to take their car into the shop and "forces" customers to purchase new gas tanks and fuel pumps. The gas tanks are faulty, they can cause harm due to faulty vent release. Multiple lawsuits have been filed in the past due to this issue, but Stellantis refused to recall and/or reimburse customers for this.

Leaking back glass, Soaked carpet, and a musty odor.

MGU bearing failing, and no stock available, they suspect it may be months before the part is available

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked, the contact noticed a burning odor around the exterior of the vehicle. The contact performed an inspection and determined that the burning odor was coming from underneath the vehicle. The vehicle was started, and an error message was displayed, instructing the contact to take the vehicle to the dealer within the next 200 miles. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with a fractured diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) system. The contact was informed that the DEF system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer for further additional diagnostic tests. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

My MGU (special name for alternator on Ram E-Torque) went bad. Starts out as grinding noise (no check engine light yet) then shortly after - total failure. Mine has total MGU failure with check engine light on and voltage warning lights to. I have a an appointment on Feb 12 2025 to replace it. They said it’s going to take about 45-90 days for a replacement part. When failure of this part happens the bearings go first, with a possibility of fire risk, in my opinion. Metal grinding on metal creates friction then fire-in my opinion. I researched and talked to some parts managers at ram dealerships. The MGU is a joke. Everyone of them will fail prematurely. Look into this please. There are 5000 MGU units supposedly being produced and shipped out across the country. Those are being shipped out very slowly when available. Nothing fast about these replacements. And lastly, apparently Ram has decided to not make the etorque available on the V8 engines anymore. Only the V6 engines have them.

When slowing down for a stop the transmission will shift into neutral and a warning will pop up on display “shift to park then desired gear” this is happing on my 2020 ram and my sons 2019 ram but the dealer says there is no fix. I checked online and it looks like it’s happening a lot.

This vehicle will not take gas at the pump. It shuts off after less than 1/2 galllon, even near empty. It will also backsplash at the pump.

The DPF got so hot in a matter of a few miles (8 minutes driving) it blew a hole in it, and melted all the wiring under the truck, caused the engine to stop, automatically locking all the doors (thank God my child and husband had stopped and were out) before this happened.

I already sent one, and forgot the pictures, pictures included this time

While refueling the gas pump kept shutting off. The dealership replaced the filler neck and the fuel tank almost a year ago and now the issue came back and they are stating it is now the Evaporator Canister.

ABS module/hcu failure Jan 13, 2025. No indication of problem prior to failure. When failure occurred, vehicle was traveling around curve in road at 50 mph when all warning lights on dash lit, loss of power steering, engine shutdown, loss of power brakes. Vehicle had to be towed home then to dealer (Davis Moore Ram Wichita Ks). Dealer diagnosed as ABS module with possible HCU failure. Told by dealer no parts available for repair, I confirmed with on-line search with other dealers. ABS Module Part # 68728132AA is not being made available to any dealers (backordered) for the repair. FCA is calling it under review, has been years for many people who still have no fix. Dealer had me prepay for part.

Door Latch malfunctioning in cold weather. Will not open or stay shut until warmed up. Safety issue as door will not close and vehicle is not able to be driven.

As with previous recall issued 66A for 1500 trucks from 2014-2019, my vehicle is with the dealer for the same known issue for the 2020 model 3.0 ecodiesel for repair of the tone wheel and crankshaft sensor failure. Tone wheel and crankshaft sensor failed while on highway presenting same know safety risk as previous truck models.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500 Laramie. The contact stated that the alternator was making an abnormal whining noise. The noise had increased and become louder over time. The alternator was making an abnormal grinding sound. While his wife was driving at approximately 40 MPH, the vehicle lost voltage, stopped, and shut down. The flashers became inoperable. The essential power mode message was displayed. The check engine light was illuminated. The contact had replaced the battery three months prior. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where an unknown diagnosis was provided. The vehicle was not repaired due to the part being backordered. The manufacturer was contacted, but no additional assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

Vehicle had a temporary shutoff when doing a rolling stop. The vehicle temporarily lost power when decelerating to the stop sign at 5-10 MPH, then starting again as I began to accelerate. Can not replicate problem again.

I noticed an oil leak under the truck a few weeks after getting the oil changed at the dealership. I took it back and had them investigate. They advised me I needed to replace the oil filter housing assembly, to the tune of $1,000. As I did research i found d this this is a widespread common problem and is known. Faulty design of a plastic part. For this to be such a common issue and poor design (that could cause catastrophic engone failure resulting in accidents or fires) and not to be recalled and or covered is insane. It's such a known issue that aftermarket parts makers have made a version that is all aluminum to prevent the issue. RAM should be paying for the repair, not me.

As I was backing out of my drive way my power steering stopped working and has been hard to turn the wheel. I moved the steering wheel up and down and it started working again, and then the next day it went back to no longer working.

The vehicle exhaust gasket fails at 50,000 miles on the 2020 Ram pickup causing carbon monoxide to enter the cab when idling. This is very common on this particular truck. Ram has yet to issue a recall.

My screen is delaminating on a 4 year old vehicle. This should not be happening and was told by my local Dodge dealership that it is not covered under a warranty, nor my extended warranty or a recall. This is poor manufacturing. My vehicle does not sit in direct sunlight.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 10 MPH and approaching a stop, the left turn signal failed to function as needed. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle made a loud sound as if the ABS had been activated. The contact stated that while attempting to use the turn signal to the left, the right turn signal was erroneously activated. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed. The local dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not repaired because the vehicle was not under recall. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

When its cold (below 30 degrees) the back 2 doors when opened will not re-close. I have taken the vehicle to Dodge and they haven't fixed the issue as the can't "replicate" the problem. I have multiple videos of this happening Today, I had to strap the back doors together to make it work on time And, when I research this on RAM forums... tons of other people having this same issue I have a video... but cant post to this message

complete engine failure driving on hiway in 65mpr traffic.. it was a sudden total stop no power no control. after 30 sec. or so i pushed restart button stepped on gas, no error code was shown but restarted. we were almost rearended as busy traffic going that speed. this has happened twice before. after taken to a chrysler dealership on DEC.30 ,2024 and a diagnostic run they could find no issue so we were given no answer. they could not offer any other advice. this situation could be a lethal issue. we could have been in a horrible accident. we would appreciate anything you could do for us. we are affraid to drive this and only 50thousand miles on this truck,which we bought new. We are not mechanics and only can think this is a electrical failure.Please help us. we think another vehickle should be given us. This is a 2020 ECO diesel 30L engine 1500 Dodge Ram 4X4

Refueling vehicle has become a hazard due to repeated overflow out of fueling stem of vehicle. When inserting gasoline fuel nozzle from gas station pump and squeezing gas fuel nozzle handle the gasoline does not enter tank but rather spurts out around the fuel nozzle spilling down the side of the vehicle and onto the ground and onto the shoes and clothing of the person fueling the vehicle. Refueling the vehicle puts the refueler and occupants and others in the area at risk of contamination by the flammable fuel and environmental contamination. Repeated attempts to "feather" the flow from the nozzle have failed to alleviate this problem. Repeated attempts to use different fuel pumps and other gas station pumps have failed as well. There is no indication of a problem on the dashboard indicator lamps nor messages. No inspection by dealer has occurred by dealer as of yet.

I was parked with my daughter in the truck and we heard a loud boom sounded like a gun shot. Then I looked my back window was shattered and the frame of the back window was cracked. I have researched this and found others who have had the same issue. Ram will not take care of it. My Mopar maximum coverage will not cover it. This very scary my daughter was in the back seat and glass went everywhere. I am a single father battling cancer and I do not know what to do.

I have a 2020 Ram 1500 pickup, and the rear window leaks on both side of the glass and runs down to the carpet and it is starting to smell really moldy. I took it into the ram dealership on 11-4-24, and they said they have had several complaints on this and said I could pay to have it replaced or they could put silicone around the glass to see if it stops the leak. I wasn't happy with this but I told them to go ahead and reseal it and they did. About a week later it was leaking again. I called Ram Cares both times and they told me that they have lots of complaints about this same issue as I'm having as well. Matter as fact my son also has a 2020 ram 1500 that leaks and my next door neighbor has a 2021 ram 1500 that is also is leaking. I took it back in 12-17-24 and they told me they were told by Ram to reseal it again. Again I'm not happy about this. I am hoping someone will make them fix this issue. I paid a lot on money for this truck to not be able to drive it in the rain or get sick in the process of the mold. If you do a google search, back in 2016 there was several complaints and they failed to address the issue since then. The Ram service lady said they changed it in the 2023 model, but not going to fix the older models because it would cost to much. They are trying to reseal it as putting a band aid over it and if they do stop the leak now someday down the road it will leak again from the sealant decaying and then they won't do nothing. Something needs to be done please.

Started vehicle in parking lot. Monitor did not come on, Put vehicle in reverse and still nothing, no image being displayed on console. After backing up and then selecting forward motion the display came on, but not until about 3 minutes of forward motion.

My driver and passenger sun visors fall from the mounting arm and will not stay attached.

The truck has an issue with 3rd gear. It wants to jolt forward and if it doesn’t catch speed it goes into “limp” mode. It’s a safety feature where it goes as fast as 2nd gear needing service to Electronic throttle body, stop/start system, and electronic stability control.

Push start button failed during highway driving and cause the engine shut down /lost power After dealer checked: they said: - the push button stuck - air damp cannot close - CV Axis loose (safety concern) The truck is less than 5 years and only 69K miles. The quality of the truck is not realiable.

Power Distribution Center/Relay box failure. Contacts in box melted for ASD Relay. Incident occurred while driving on the highway at 65mph. Vehicle without warning had power loss in accelerator, and started downshifting gears. Dash immediately said “park and restart required.” Attempting to start engine, vehicle would crank/no start. After several attempts, vehicle restarted and resumed normal driving until “park and restart required” happened again. After vehicle shut down multiple times on highway, I was able to make it home and diagnose problem. I checked the fuses and relays on the PDC and found ASD relay intact with no burn or scorch marks on contacts. However, the socket is missing contacts within the pdc. I reproduced said problem by moving the ASD relay with vehicle running. There are no warning lamps, messages, or codes to show any kind of failure.

My backup camera screen freezes and glitches two or three seconds at a time while I’m backing up and I can’t see what’s going on.

The plastic seatbelt bracket over the right shoulder for the middle seat in the second row of the truck constantly breaks. I have had it replaced multiple times and it breaks immediately. This causes the seatbelt to be loose and fall into the crack between the seats. The seatbelt would malfunction and cause significant harm in an accident:

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 MPH, there was a dip in the road and the upper ball joint came out of the socket and the tire was pushed under the vehicle. The vehicle slid approximately 100 ft and came to a stop. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the brake line, both control arms, and the trans axle needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was then towed to another dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the brake line, lower control arm, and the trans axle needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 57,000.

My truck has less than 40k miles on it. I bought it with 18k miles. For the 3rd time I am unable to put fuel in the tank without it shutting off the pump or spilling all over. I have looked on the forums and found this is a common issue with this truck. It is very frustrating because the first time the dealership would not look at it for over a month and when I had to take it to another service center they refused to reimburse me. Now this is the third time.

While driving at highway speed (~65-70 mph), the engine shut off unexpectedly (without any warning/bucking). There were no errors displayed on the dashboard. Center screen stated to place vehicle in park before starting. The multimedia console, AC, all other electronic systems in the cab were operating as normal. The truck did not start back up for some time (10-15 mins). The dealer states that there were no codes present in the vehicle's onboard diagnostic system (OBD) that indicate any issues or that the vehicle stalled. This has happened 3 times in less than a month. The truck has about 76,000 miles. It is a 2020 Ram 1500 with 5.7L V8 HEMI MDS VVT eTorque Engine.

The manifold bolts on the Ram 1500 pickups will break causing the manifolds to leak. This happens around 50-60k in mileage.

When driving the visor becomes detached and obstructs view while driving. The passenger side also detaches which can also obstruct view.

The contact owned a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving 30 MPH when a medical emergency was experienced causing him to lose consciousness, as a result, the vehicle drifted off the roadway and crashed into a tree head-on where the vehicle came to a stop. During the impact, the front driver side, front passenger side, and passenger side curtain air bags were deployed however the driver side curtain air bag failed to deploy. The contact sustained upper and lower lip cuts that required stitches, 4 bottom teeth were fractured and extracted, 4 ribs on the right side, 1 rib on the left side, and contusion on the left lung that required medical attention.

Parts distribution disconnect.

Both exhaust manifolds are cracked. There is a bulletin on some 5.7 Hemi but not mine. Both have to be replaced. The vehicle is at Central Florida Chrysler Dodge Jeep in Orlando. The engine was making a ticking noise. Not sure where it was coming from.

Manifold leaking which could affect the components around possibly causing the engine to completely shut down. Is the the dodge dealership now. Apparently there are no recalls at this time. We do have an extended warranty on the vehicle thank goodness. All maintenance is up to date on this vehicle. The vehicle is at the dealership now and parts will not be in until October 24. It is not driveable at this time.

The drivers side sun visor has failed multiple times. As I am driving it falls out of its housing on the vehicle ceiling and obstructs my vision. I took it to the dealer and they replaced the visor. However, it has failed again and almost caused an accident. I spoke with an individual that works for Ram and was told that this is a repair and complaint that they hear quite often. I believe without a manufacturer recall and replacement that this could cause a severe accident.

Driver and passenger manifolds Have cracked now 3 times on the passenger side and 1 time in the drivers side. Inhale had the last passenger side replaced under warranty and now they will not honor the warranty on the replaced manifold.

while driving from one town to another and back of approximately 160 miles roundtrip the electric steering became inoperable for approximately 3-8 seconds about every 5 miles.

It has been 2 years since this recall came out and still I get the run around at the dealer that a solution is not available. What I'm I supposed to do still not drive the vehicle or drive as little as possible. this is rediculous and I need this recall resolved emmidiately.

Left turn signal does not self cancel at times. This is an intermittent problem.

Driving down highway and steering became inoperable or very hard to turn for approximately 2-5 seconds and this occurred about 5 times in the distance of 5 miles

Just picked up vehicle Thursday, 26 Sept 2024 about Noon from Dealership after replacement of Rack and Pinion Gear, driving on straight road and "power steering Unavailable - Service required" information came on briefly for about 2 to 5 secs every 5-10 minutes during drive home.

Just driving on the highway doing about 45 miles per hour and the message "power steering unavailable - service required" came on several times for about 2-5 seconds at least 3 times during the short drive. The power steering was definitely inoperative during the times the message was displayed.

While driving to restaurant, Power Steering Unavailable - Service required" message came on 3 or 4 times for about 2-5 seconds during trip.

Electronic stabilitac light is on and 4 wheel drive light is on as well. matches the recalls for 2019 and 2021-2024

Power steering failure. Dangerous to manage on the road

Vehicle was involved in a front end collision and was determined to be a total loss . None of the air bags deployed

Driving on local road in Abilene Tx and got the message “Power Steering Unavailable Service Required” and the electric steering was inop for about 3-5 seconds. The message came on several times during their minute drive.

On [XXX] while exiting [XXX] at [XXX] and [XXX] , The steering wheel on my 2020 RAM 1500 completely locked up. There were no prior warnings—no dashboard lights, unusual sounds, or other indications of a problem. It wasn’t until I had significantly slowed down that I was able to apply enough force to get the vehicle into a nearby shopping center. The dashboard warning light did not appear until my vehicle was almost stopped. The dashboard error messaged indicated there was a "Power Steering Failure." Following this incident, I took the vehicle to the nearest CDJR dealership. The vehicle intake was handled by the Service Advisor advised that it may be the steering rack. The following week, we were advised that the vehicle was ready for pick-up and the service technician diagnosed the issue as an internal fault in the instrument panel switch bank. The switch bank was replaced per service protocols, diagnostic codes were cleared, and the system was thoroughly tested. The technician confirmed that the problem had been resolved. However, on [XXX], after retrieving the vehicle from the dealership, I experienced another alarming failure. While traveling at approximately 65-70 MPH, my steering wheel suddenly locked AGAIN. At that moment, I was surrounded by traffic, including an 18-wheeler next to me. The situation was life-threatening, and I feared for my safety. My thoughts were immediately consumed with concern for my daughter and husband as I fought to maintain control of the vehicle. Fortunately, I was able to bring the vehicle to a stop, but the experience was nothing short of terrifying. A week has passed, and I am still deeply shaken by the event and appears it may be the rack after all. Other owners have reported similar failures with the RAM 1500's power steering system and is not an isolated case. It poses a grave risk, and is not an isolated case. It poses a grave risk, not only to the driver but to all motorists on the road. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Just got on the local road and “power steering unavailable service required” message displayed twice for about 5 - 10 secs with the corresponding difficulty in turning steering wheel. Snapped a photo of message

Vehicle randomly says "shift to park" after making soft turns like going in a uturn under a bypass . Once the speed drops under 5mph, the truck then puts vehicle in park, and turns off. Dealership could not find the problem. Mechanics are unsure. Ongoing for 3 years. Very unsafe.

Just pulled out of the garage, put it into drive, and some red words were displayed for about 5 to 15 seconds stating something to the effect that “your steering is inoperative, take to dealer or something like that,

Vehicle steering locked while driving at highway speed, dealer tested system and replaced a can bus switch. Upon driving home from dealership (after fixing) the steering once again failed. Luckily no one was injured. We did get a warning steering failed only after the steering locked and was immobile. This is the most critical part of a vehicle and should not fail in under 50,000 miles and fail to the point of uncontrollable. This is a horrible design, someone is going to get killed if this does not get addressed and Stellantis recalls these faulty components.

Dashboard leather shrinking and bubbling up that may affect air bag performance

While driving from Abilene, tx to Houston, tx on [XXX] my vehicle displayed intermittently several warning message. The first message said idle-stop was unavailable and lasted for about 30 minutes. The second message was displayed in red and stated the electric steering was inoperative and lasted for about 10-30 seconds and it was definitely harder to turn the steering wheel.

UNKNOWN GOT IN THE TRUCK, started it and it idled for about one minute, then every single light or electronic started flashing, with the pace of the hazard lights, which the hazard lights stayed on, no matter how many times I pushed the hazard buttons, and the horn was blowing lightly also, about 2 minutes of this , I turned the truck off, came out the next day and it was completely dead, no electricity at all! Charged battery( which is new by the way) and it fired right up! But now it’s extremely sluggish, missing and jerking, the electronics in these are garbage! Looks great but who wants something that is advertised Wi-Fi available!! Ha not on the 2020 models!!! I’ve got the big screen! Call att, they say there’s an issue with ram, so I’m not happy! And this the only vehicle I have to transport my family

The sun visor retention plastic broke. Now the sun visor falls down obstructing vision and view of oncoming traffic while driving. This happens frequently. Trying to place the sun visor back while driving is difficult. Trying to hold the visor out of your field of vision while safely controlling the vehicle to a stop is difficult. The falling down of the visor is a serious safety hazard to anyone near a vehicle with this malfunction.

The vehicles, multimedia hub fails in hot weather, not allowing connections from the phone for Maps and CarPlay/androidauto. I have had the media hub replaced two times under warranty and the issue never resolves. Public forums show similar complaints from other drivers of the same make and model.

Has just over 80,000 miles and the Ram dealer is telling me it need a new transmission. Code P0733000 3rd gear ratio issue. Will be driving it will hard shift into 3rd gear and then get stuck in 3rd until I stop and turn the truck on and off. When I do that it works fine.

On July 5th 2024, I attempted to open /pull down the Tailgate. Was not able to pull the Tailgate down. I purchased the Vehicle on January 10, 2024. This is the first occurrence of the Tailgate being inoperable. No interior Lights, flashing signal to indicate Tailgate inoperable. I looked Online and entered my Truck Information. Several sites have Posted, Noted, Documented Reports of Faulty Tailgate pertaining 2019 - 2022 Dodge Ram's Tailgates that have been listed for recall

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated the tailgate failed to open with the key fob. The vehicle had not been taken to the dealer. The vehicle had not been diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 55,000.

Upon purchase brand new in 2020 with in a week a cylinder had to be replaced. Since then this truck has been in the shop for almost a year in total over the past 2.5 years. The recalled high pressure fuel pump went out at around 60k miles, this incident almost resulted in a major accident in the middle of the night as the power loss to the engine and brakes left me free rolling down the road into a stop light 4 way. When sent for repairs they had to replace the pump 6-7 times before they could give it back to me as well as the entire fuel system. The check engine light came on as I drive off and they had to replace the pump and other parts for the 8th time and kept it for another month. A couple months later the alternator went out and battery shorted on the freeway. And after that repair a few months later the alternator flooded with oil on the freeway in the middle of nowhere and the trucks dash lit up with electrical failure and check engine lights. This time the truck was repaired in 3 weeks and after 100 miles the engine blew completely on the freeway, I never made it home with the truck. They’ve had the truck at the dealership for 2 months the now and are quoting for a complete engine replacement at 72k miles on the eco diesel engine. This truck is a faulty piece of machinery and should not have ever been on the road. They can’t run the teuck for any testing as the engine will run away at max rpm when started.

The bags or compressor failed. Dealer could not diagnose which is a common problem. They just change parts and charge you until it’s corrected. Safety factor is off the charts because it makes it undrivable if it loses pressure with no warning. No lights or warning and front will slowly lose pressure until it bottoms out

I was driving back from Montana and my passenger side sun visor disconnected and was hanging from the wire causing a visibility issue when driving. Approximately 1 year ago the same thing happened to my driver side sun visor. This also caused problems with visibility while driving because it wouldn't remain in the locked position. It would hang by the wires. Both times I had the visor replaced at the Dodge dealership in Prescott Az. I was told my the service advisor that it has been a problem and they have had to replace quite a few. I asked if they have fixed the problem and he stated that it hasn't and its still the original parts. This is going to lead to a serious car accident or death if this problem isn't resolved by Dodge.

Update to Complaint 11594199 filed on June 13, 2024 While driving the vehicle to the Ram dealership the power steering went out again and stayed out until I arrived at the dealership. I received a call today from the service department advising that the entire power steering rack has to be replaced. There is a fault in the control unit. Estimated repair cost $3,500.00.

The electronic power steering has stopped working three times in the last couple of weeks. It stops working and will stay out for 15 to 30 seconds or until the truck is shut off and restarted. The vehicle was taken to a local RAM dealer, and they advised that could not find any failure codes in the history. When the power steering cuts out the dashboard displays a warning to service the power steering. The vehicle is extremely had to steer when the power steering cuts out. When I picked up the vehicle at the dealer, they completed an oil change and recall on the tailgate but there was no mention of the main reason I took the vehicle in for service which was the loss of power steering. The service writer stated he did not list that since they did not charge me for the power steering diagnosis. If he listed, it there would be an additional charge on my bill. The loss of power steering is a safety hazard since it makes the vehicle very hard to steer and makes any turns or sudden changes in direction to avoid potential hazards impossible.

Component Failure: Around 45,000 miles, my vehicle equipped with the 5.7L HEMI E-torque V8 had both exhaust manifolds cracked with large exhaust leaks pre-catalytic convertor Safety Risk: My vehicle equipped with the 5.7L HEMI E-torque V8 was idling in a parking lot for around 1 hour while I waited inside the vehicle. Cold ambient temperature with windows up and heater on. I noted having a slight headache and started smelling what seemed to be pre-catalytic convertor exhaust fumes (rich fuel smell). I stepped out of the vehicle and smelled the exhaust at the rear of the vehicle, which did not match. I attributed the smell to a nearby vehicle. One week later, the same event occurred with no other vehicles parked around me. The exhaust leak was large enough to pull exhaust fumes into the cabin through the HVAC system. High risk of carbon monoxide poisoning if the vehicle was to sit long enough, risking both myself and my child's safety while we sat in the vehicle. Problem Reproduced: Yes, brought the vehicle CJDR dealer who diagnosed the vehicle with "both exhaust manifolds cracked" and replaced both exhaust manifolds under warranty. Has component been inspected: Unknown. Parts were removed from vehicle as covered under warranty at dealer and replaced with new parts. Any Warnings: No warning lights on dashboard or DTCs for catalytic convertor performance, lean/rich banks, or other exhaust/emissions related. Exhaust seemed slightly louder on cold start. Smelling of unburnt/pre-cat exhaust fumes that prompted dealer visit.

I have the exact symptoms of the recall for the faulty turn signal stock. This recall should be expanded back to at least 2020. Tons of people online reporting same issue for previous year trucks.

Pumping gas and it stops will not let me fill the tank after 2 or 4 the time taking the pump out it will spit gas at you has happened many times

Camera system unavailable error on a blue back over camera screen. Started at about 40000 miles. Intermittent at first but now is consistently inoperable.

Driver's side sun visor repeatedly comes loose from ceiling attachment causing the visor to drop into driver's sight line completely blocking forward view. It happens suddenly, often as I'm approaching a stop light, and is a massive safety concern. I have had several near misses where I've almost rear-ended cars in front of me. I reported the issue to the dealer at my last service and, while I was told this was a "common issue" with Dodge Rams, the dealer/Dodge would not cover the cost and it would be $500+ to repair with parts and labor. If this is as prevalent as the dealer indicated, this should be a safety recall.

Since I purchased the vehicle it's been in the dealership for repairs unacceptable

Steering Rack and Pinion - Began malfunctioning (noise, and vibration when turning) at less than 10,000 miles. I visited Ram Dealer several times between 10,000 - 34,000 miles and they stated they could not replicate the issue. I drove the vehicle with their technical and they agreed there was an issue. Finally they replaced the Steering System when it had about 34,000 miles. This is a potential safety issue. Drive Selector Switch - I have had 3 selector switches (move from Park to Drive, reverse, etc.) malfunction and require replace (started in side of standard warranty), they appear to be replacing faulty part with same part.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Turn signal indicator has malfunctioned. When the left turn signal indicator is set, it will not reset after making a full left turn (90 degree). Also the left turn signal will not stop after putting the turn signal lever back into the middle position. The only way to disable to turn signal is to put the turn signal lever into the right turn indicator position and in this position the right turn indicator no longer works. After making a right hand turn the turn indicator lever will reset and make the left blinker come on automatically and stay on. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Being unable use my turn signal correctly has caused people to almost crash into me. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? I have not scheduled the vehicle for service with the dealer because its not covered under warranty or recall. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No warning or check engine lights.

While driving on 3/29/24 I pulled the drivers side sun visor down to stop the glare from the sun. In doing so the post for the sun visor broke causing it to fall down into the line of view while traveling approximately 70 mile per hours. This caused an issue that could have caused a catastrophic accident causing injury to myself or others. A review of the internet shows that numerous people have had the same issues with the sun visors breaking. This issue need to have a recall issued to it to prevent someone from being seriously injured or even killed. A tooth pick had to be placed into the rod area to hold the visor up so that I would be able to move the vehicle safely. Thanks for you attention in this matter.

The gas tank on the 2020 Ram 1500 Classic for some reason causes false fuel pump stoppages as if the tank was full. This causes fueling times to sometimes last 10 to 15 minutes and also causes a considerable amount of spillage due to the blowback of fuel. This creates a safety issue due to the possibility of fuel spraying back onto the driver. This is a known and recurring issue as I've seen it appear on several forums and pages numerous times from other Ram truck owners. Mopar should make this gas tank issue a recall as soon as possible.

Water damage recently started in back ceiling of truck above rear window. Coming in from somewhere. Also notice a large crack in plastic all of a sudden. Online research is showing a lot of the same complaints of cracks and water damage. I do not see a recall though? I've only owned the truck for 8 months and this has happened within weeks.

Truck won't start or move from park new battery was drained in one afternoon. Now vehicle won't start .

Inside cab is getting moisture in it. Prior to noticing this we had battery drainage that causes truck not to turn on. They replaced radio they found it was drain battery. We continued to have battery drainage where it wouldn’t turn on after a full charge overnight. The truck would go to turn on but would only make clicking noises and wouldn’t shut down for 20 minutes even though wouldn’t start. Other times we’d turn off truck and it wouldn’t turn off. Now our truck is molding inside and front and rear windshield drip of moisture. The moisture drips onto dash and down the console. This could affect electrical components. There is less then 10,000 miles on it. We’ve had brakes jam up on us when we back up and there is nothing even close to us.

I have a 2020 Dodge Ram that has 75,000 miles on it. It has already broke down requiring a new transmission ( Jan of 2023 at 61,349 miles) and on [XXX] at 83,000 miles I, again, broke down and found it to be a valve spring. I have inquired as to the frequency of these occurrences in other Rams and a was told neither one of these occurrences should have happened. I jumped the hoops of the warranty and have put out almost $1,000 for the warranty company to "inspect" the engine, valve spring & tranny items that I should not have had to deal with in the first place. At first, the warranty company was willing to discuss possible retribution of some sort given the rarity of the break downs that occurred. I had a caseworker and now I cannot get anyone on the phone to even discuss this with any longer. Always being told "In a meeting", "Not available". With my last call being today and told SOMEONE was going to call. I have received emails noting "it is being investigated" and also told someone would reach out. NOW I have developed anxiety over this truck as, I travel. I'm terrified that I will be stuck in the middle of no where in the middle of the night. Both occurrences happened at night while alone! I am a [XXX]! Perhaps that's why ? I have been without a vehicle since that time and even the auto repair place had a very hard time in getting warranty company to pay. Truck is home now but now Im afraid to drive it anywhere. This was my dream truck and Im heartbroken at the total disrespect that has occurred for my safety and for anyone else who has had to go through this - I do have invoices but it wouldn't let me download them. I can send them via email. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

To Whom It May Concern, The issue I am reporting is that the drivers side of my cargo bin on my 2020 Ram Rebel is opening on its own. This has occurred many times while I was driving and most times, items inside the cargo bin have fallen out on the road. This issue is also taking place when the vehicle has been parked and locked, as I come out in the morning or return from an errand and the ride side drivers cargo bin is wide open. I have also had items stolen because of this. This shortcoming is now also killing my battery all the time, since after I jump the vehicle, I can hear the locking mechanism attempting to lock and unlock on its own. I feel this is a huge liability since the contents of the bin are sometimes landing in the roadway behind my truck. I contacted Crown Dodge in Ventura, Ca and they have stated they have never heard of this situation before. When I look on-line for similar complaints, many people are saying the exact same thing as their drivers side cargo bins are opening due to an electrical wire loom shortcoming. Some of these individuals have taken their trucks to their local Dodge dealers and they are changing the wire loom and adding additional weather protection to it to correct the issue. This situation, if not addressed will cause damage to vehicles behind the trucks if not accidents as the contents of the bin can immediately become unsecured and effect all vehicles behind it. I have now opened the top of my bin and disconnected the leads powering the lock switch and it seems to be working as the bin is locked all the time and I will now need to use my key to unlock it. This has also kept my battery from draining, but I feel the dealer should step up and correct this very dangerous situation on their own before the liability for accidents and/or damage is directed to the truck owners themselves. Please access u-tube "2020 Ram 1500 Ram Box Opens By Itself". These complaints began years ago.

Seatbelt won't retract at all

INCIDENT 1: Cruise Control would not turn on or off. INCIDENT 2: TRUCK STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY

While driving at highway speed with the sunvisor down, the visor suddenly became loose and hit me in the head blocking my vision. As I reached up to move the visor around, I realized that there was no tension on the swing arm and the visor would swing from the driver side window all the way to the windshield, this caused me to keep one hand on the visor when the sun was coming through the driver side window, and only one hand on the wheel.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, there was an abnormal sound coming from the exhaust on the passenger's side of the vehicle, and there was an abnormal ticking sound coming from the engine compartment. The contact became aware there was exhaust fumes inside the cabin of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the exhaust manifolds were fractured. The manifolds were replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 60,000. The VIN was not available.

The drivers side sun visor has broken and is possible for it to fall onto the steering column while I'm driving, and also hits my head when it swings back and forth. I've read that this is a very common problem with the 2020 RAM.

The inside of my truck has condensation. The inside lights console don’t work. Because water comes in by the rear top headliner.

Issues with the ABS system and also showing many defects with controller causing problems in the CV axle which had to be replaced as well

Hi, we own a 2020 Dodge Ram 1500. Went to drive our truck during a snow storm. The driver's side wiper arm stripped its splines. Dealership says tough luck. You're on your own. A 2020 Dodge Truck. This is ridiculous. We have 2 small kids, and can't drive our new truck when it rains. Never heard of a new vehicle stripping the splines of a wiper arm, because of ice and snow. No one ever touched the wiper arm. We used remote start to warm up the vehicle, only to find out the arm was stripped when we tried to drive it. I've owned many vehicles, never had this happen before. No one I've talked with, has had this happen, even in the worst weather conditions. This is a Major flaw, and a huge safety issue. Thank you.

UNKNOWN - Auto shut off on fuel dispenser happens almost immediately when filling tank as normal process. Have to slow to a trickle so it does not kick out & it takes 20x amount of time to fill tank than normal. Research is finding many owners of this vehicle with same issue. OEM needs to take action to correct as there is an obvious defect.

Rear window leaking, just like on all the 5th gen rams. Causing water to get into the cab, causing mold, mildew, rot and moisture on the windows. Please create a recall this is affecting almost every single 5th gen ram

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal sound coming from the engine compartment. The vehicle then returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 69,000.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 MPH, the contact heard a loud booming sound. The contact stopped to inspect the vehicle, and it was discovered that the driver's side rear glass window panel had exploded outward causing chards of glass to enter the vehicle. The contact stated that during failure the rear defroster was activated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who replaced the driver's side rear glass window panel. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 30,000. The VIN was not available.

My tailgate opened during a 20 mile drive, much of it on interstate, while I had golf club bags in travel cases in the pickup bed. One of the cases unknowingly fell out onto the road. Fortunately this road was near my home and low speed, 2 lane. Someone stopped and picked them up since they saw them in the road. I am uncertain if my son just didn't properly latch the tailgate or if it came open after being latched but my primary issue here is that there is no warning light in my truck to warn me if my tailgate is open. Had there been I would have pulled over to close and latch it.

I was in an accident with my 2020 Ram 1500 and took a couple horrible hits and the airbags never deployed and the end result was me getting hurt bad and now missing time at work over this incident.

I HAVE CONTACTED DEALER SEVERAL TIMES WITH THIS RECALL AND WAS TOLD THE REPAIR PARTS ARE NOT BEING MADE AVAILABLE TO THEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS RECALL CAN BECOME DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE FIXED. ALSO, NOTED ON RECALL FORM THAT STATE MAYNOT RENEW REGISTRATION IF THIS RECALL IS NOT FIXED. NO INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED. THE ABO

Abs and tracking control lights come on and “service electronic brake system” when on, cruise control not functional and traction control off very dangerous as I did more research it is a very common occurrence for Dodge Ram truck 2017-2021 please help us

The sun visors unexpectedly drop out of there sockets impeding the drivers ability to see abruptly. This is obviously dangerous. They are defective and this has been reported on RAM forums to no avail.

The rear window frame cracked causing water to leak slowly in and damage the trucks radio frequency hub. This crack is a known issue in 2019-2021 Ram 1500. There is a bulletin out somewhere about it. And what I’ve read is on an extended warranty called Backlite , which should be called window seal. I have seen this get covered and fixed because it is a known defect that the user did not cause. They covered the hub, which is required to start the truck and keep it running. That would be bad if it failed while driving. This crack needs to be covered. It won’t let me upload a picture of the crack, but I have one and how much they want to charge me to fix it. I was going to attach those.

My RAM 1500 experienced some random electronic related issues (ie. warning lights showing when nothing was wrong and then going away). This was an annoyance, but would fix itself so I never reported it. Then I had similar issues and all of a sudden it kept dying on me and I had to jump the car. RAM came back telling me the back window had leaked and it destroyed the eTorque battery and RFhub. The estimate was absurd, so I started researching. Turns out that the back window leak is a we’ll know. common issue with RAM 1500s. So much so they extended the manufacture warranty on the back window and center mounted light. Unfortunately, my truck is not on that list. Beyond the cost of this repair, the safety issue occurs when RAM placed an eTorque LITHIUM BATTERY in the back seat directly under a window that has historically had issues with leaking. It is a common known fact that water and Lithium Batteries is not a good mix and could cause corrosion, short circuits, electrolyte leakage, and gas release. This can cause damage, overheating, fires, or explosions. This is the same seat that I have had my children in car seats. If the windows are known to have issues with leaking and RAM put a battery in a space that is directly under this window, would this not pose a significant risk?

I have a 2020 Ram1500 Laramie and the vehicle has developed a water leak. The leak is coming from rear window, window seal, or related components. The result is that the headliner has water stains on the rear passenger and driver side. Continued water leaks have the potential to cause interior mold or electrical problems.

Owner detected a foul odor inside vehicle. Upon investigation water was found in the rear floorboard and water stains across the headliner above the power rear sliding window. Further investigation online revealed that Fiat-Chrysler issued Technical Service Bulletin [XXX]\"Water Leaks At Sliding Backlite\" dated April 22, 2021 and [XXX] Rev B \"Water Leak Rear Of cab Rear Seat or Headliner\" dated June 2021. Owner called a local dealership and requested information regarding any recall related to RAM 1500 cab leaks, and was told that they were none. Dealership failed to advise owner that a know problem exists for these vehicles. \n\nOwner believes that a safety issue exists with water leaking into the 3rd brake light assembly resulting in failure of that safety component to operate correctly and cause a rearend collision. Further, owner believes that a safety issue exists with water leaking into the electrical system that operates the power sliding rear window resulting in a fire or electrical human contact electrical injury.\n\nThis issue has been confirmed by dealerships as they have attempted repairs for other owners. Additionally, Fiat-Chrysler's issuing Technical Service Bulletins for these problems indicates the manufacturer was aware of the issues.\n\nAt this time, the vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, dealership, police, or insurance representatives or others. However, owner will be initiating contact with one or all of these entities to confirm the problem.\n\nThere were no warning lamps, messages, or symptoms prior to the failure. The vehicle was purchased new from a dealership in January of 2020 by owner. Symptoms were discovered by owner when a foul odor was noticed in the vehicle. Upon investigation water was found in the rear floorboard and water stains across the headliner above the power rear sliding window.

water is coming thru the top of front windshield and condensation build up

While traveling down C470 Eastbound my truck experienced some type of mechanical failure. While on the corner above the bridge for Wadsworth Avenue I felt a sudden loss of control with the truck pulling to the right side of the highway. I immediately took action to pull the truck off the highway while also wrestling for control of the steering to keep the truck from running into the barrier and off the bridge. I was able to bring the truck to a stop just following the bridge (About 100ft). Upon inspection I found the right front tire had folded under itself. It seemed that the upper control arm on the vehicle snapped, pulling out the drive shaft in the process and damaging items like the steering linkage, brakes, tire, brakeline, etc. Dealership diagnosis was: Found right front upper ball joint separated causing excessive damage to the front end components. Only additional work that has been done to the truck was by MOPAR with their 2 inch lift kit, certified by Fiat Chrysler and Mopar for this specific truck. Kit number 77072424 SUSP KIT-LIFT. Dealership did inspection of vehicle 2 days prior to incident with no issues found. I was not able to attach pictures and PDFs to this form

While trying to accelerate from a stop, the vehicle electrical system turned off the vehicle and turned back on. When turning back on, it flashed through a series of error messages. One time was while in stop and go traffic and I was able to coast onto the shoulder and restart the vehicle. A second incident was in the middle of a busy intersection. Having had this shut down before, I was able to quickly turn on my hazards and restart the truck to then clear the intersection safely. I have personally had Dodge look at the vehicle under my ownership (bought it used from a dealer). In speaking with the service advisor, he mentioned it had 13 error codes reported on the DTC from loss of communication with PCM. There were no warning signs prior to the two events I have experienced. I have scheduled to take it back to the dealership for examination. The first event I experienced was on 11/25/2023 with about 35,450 miles. The second event was on 12/15/23 with 36,100 miles. I am aware of the recall on this vehicle but the shortage of parts has not allowed Dodge to service it for the recall yet.

Driving in moderate traffic, truck forward collision warning triggered and emergency braking engaged with no forward risk of collision. Traffic in front was accelerating, not decelerating and no risk of emergency collision existed. Incident did however nearly lead to collision from behind as brakes were slammed on fully to an emergency stop. Wife and I were both in the car and neither of us saw any reason whatsoever for the event to be triggered.

Upon inspection the rack and pinion failed and needs replacing. At the time of the failure i was getting ready to make a left hand turn with traffic to my left and i had to forcibly turn the vehicle almost hitting the vehicle to my left. The vehicle has been inspected by the dealership and independent warranty inspector and determined the rack and pinion failed. There was a steering failure waring that appeared when the loss of power steering occurred.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 60 MPH, the sunroof suddenly shattered, raining down glass into the interior of the vehicle. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 40,000.

The exhaust flange bolts are prematurely rusting and breaking on the Exhaust system. This is a truck that has less than 30,000 miles and less than 4 years old. This is a common problem but seems to me RAM is using sub par materials in there bolts and they are failing at an earlier than expected time. These parts should be good for at least 80,000 100,000 Miles. These parts should be covered and a recall should be issued for these bolts as they are failing and braking prematurely. Creating a safety hazard as if the exhaust flange bolts break the pipe would hit the ground and create a safety and or accident hazard.

Frequent and expensive starter failure and replacement rate for Hemi V8 equipped trucks.

On Thursday 16NOV2024 I noticed the rear sliding window on my 20' Ram had shattered on the drivers side section. The sticker on the back was damaged and appeared burnt. The weather that morning had been 35 degrees and partly cloudy. When I remote started the vehicle at 0700HRS, the rear defrost came on automatically. I drove about 10-15 minutes to work and parked. I returned to my vehicle approximately 10 minutes later and noticed a burning odor but thought it was due to a woodstove used nearby. Later in the day coworkers noticed the sticker was burned. I thought it may be intentional or due to the rear defrost system since the part that is wired and transitions to the heating grid is right under the sticker. We reviewed security footage from when I parked to when it was discovered and noone went near the vehicle. I suspected the defroster had an issue. I stopped at the dealer, my warranty was expired and I have glass coverage but I wanted to make them aware of the issue. The dealer glass rep took photos and said she'd never seen anything like it but would talk to engineers about it. The following day I received a call saying that she showed engineers the damage and was told that the system doesn't have enough voltage or heat to cause that damage and they wouldn't help. I wasn't looking for money, I have full glass/no deductible. I had the glass replaced the following Monday and asked them to save the parts I suspected of failing. I have photos of the part that appears to have failed and overheated causing the damage. I have a concern that worst case, if something had been behind the headrest up against it and the vehicle was in a structure that a fire could have occurred. I followed up with my photos and concerns but never heard back from the dealer. Noone has expressed an interest in seeing the failed part in question and I still have them in my posssesion.

The bolts holding the muffler to the exhaust pipe sheered off. After speaking with multiple dealers it is a known problem using a smaller bolt in the new body model Ram 1500 DT. The smaller bolt can’t handle the heating/cooling and eventually snaps. But this generally occurs just outside of warranty time. With the undersized bolts used by the manufacturer this causes the exhaust pipe to hang freely and risks the potential to cause injury or death with parts falling. There are many cases like this at dealers across the country and more to come. This body model is just coming up on 3-4 years so more trucks are starting to come in with this issue.

The driver side sun visor hinge point is failing. Without warning either when I attempt to fold down the sun visor or sometimes just on it's own it has fallen down out of the roof from the hinge point on the left side that allows you to rotate it to the side window if necessary. If I didn't have my hand on it to immediately lift it back up and from blocking my vision of the road in front of me it could have caused a collision with another vehicle, pedestrian or other object. I can push it back up into the receiver hole in the roof but it remains loose with the potential to fall out again as it has on several occasions. It has not been inspected yet. There are no warning indicators for this problem.

The rear window, window seal, or related components have failed and allow water to intrude into the cabin of my vehicle near the back. This water gets the headliner wet and drips down the interior of the rear window, down the rear of the passenger compartment. This water intrusion occurs with very, very light moisture on the vehicle, such as early mornings with morning dew, light rain, or watching the vehicle. The near-daily (due to dew) intrusion of water into the cabin of my vehicle raises safety concerns of mold & mildew in the passenger compartment. My rear window backlite frame is visibly cracked on the interior, matching the symptom pictured in TSB [XXX]. My vehicle has a manufacturer date within the dates noted in the TSB. My vehicle also includes a power sliding window as noted in the TSB. I've been to two dealerships and they both told me they see this problem in RAM trucks "all the time". Both dealers refused to perform a warranty repair under the extended warranty noted in the TSB (150,000 miles) because my VIN is not associated with the TSB in FCA's system even though my vehicle appears to be described as a vehicle affected. I've attached 2 photos to my report. One photo showing the crack as noted in TSB [XXX]. One photo showing the actual crack in my backlite frame. This appears to be a very prevalent issue with a lot of online discussion from many other affected RAM owners.

Transfer case has failed per dealer inspection and diagnostics. Several lights turned on. Burning smell in/outside of vehicle. Vehicle will jerk from time to time. Parts are apparently on back order for several weeks and I have been told the vehicle is drivable even though transfer case issues / failures can be a serious safety issue.

The driver side sun visor failed at the attachment point, left side while driving at high speed on the local freeway, obstructing my view of the traffic ahead temporarily. There was no warning and the failure was completely unexpected.

recall with no parts available, have tried to schedule recall repair for the hpfp recal on this vehicle and im told there are no parts available for the repairs. now wanting to trade the vehicle because we have to have a dependable vehicle, and everyone is lowballing trade value because of the no repairable recall. i cant afford this loss so im stuck with something that might fail and cause a wreck at any given time .

A known exhaust manifold problem has caused exhaust fumes to enter the cabin which cause headaches and could cause serious issues while driving

The drivers side sun visor can fall out of the mechanism that holds it to the interior of the roof without warning. This happened on my ex girlfriends 2019 ram 1500 and just happened to my 2020 ram 1500. The dealer repaired hers for free even though it was out of warranted because it was a “known issue” according to the service department. Today mine fell out, hitting me in the head as I was driving and temporarily obscured my view of the roadway. The same happened to my girlfriend. If this is a known issue why has there not been a recall notice on this? Could easily lead to accident with injury or fatality.

Service electronic braking system stop working. Light and message on dashboard.

Driving on highway at 70mph. Truck shut completely off and lost all power. Almost caused major accident which could’ve resulted in serious injury.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that on four separate occasions while driving at various speeds and a making a turn, the vehicle lost motive power. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V767000 (Fuel System, Gasoline, Engine) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Driving at highway speeds, power steering disengages. Drove for about one mile and it reengaged. This repeated itself multiple times and at multiple speeds. Was able to steer but vehicle had no power steering assist. This posed a high risk of accident with injury or death. Have not taken vehicle to the dealer as of yet. Power steering warning indicators displayed during incident.

On Monday, October 10, 2023, I started my truck in the morning when the temperature was 60-65 degrees. The truck turned the rear defroster on and after 10 minutes I put my two boys in the backseat and smelt a burning smell. There was nothing smoking, so I told myself I would look at it once I got back from dropping them off. I pulled out of my driveway and within a minute my back window shattered above my 3 month old. I took it to the Dodge/Ram dealership and they said based on their inspection the third brake light was leaking and water got into/on the window and when the rear defroster turned on it shattered the window. They said it is not covered under warranty even though the main cause was a manufacture defect with the the third brake light leaking water into the vehicle. So this repair is going to cost me $1,500 because of the leak. This is a major safety violation with windows breaking above kids or people in the back seat and electrical getting wet because of the leak in the third break light.

My truck has had two leaks in the rear window area. I have owned it for 3 years it has 30000 miles on it. The vehicle is in otherwise perfect condition with no damage and no accidents. The first time it required the rear window to be replaced. This time it is uncertain where the leak is coming from. This could cause damage to the electronics as well as the rear airbags. It appears like these leaks are common and Ram is aware of them, but the have not recalled the defective components and provided a new design that does not leak.

When accelerating and turning full left or right grinding sounds can be heard coming from the rear differential. It sounds like the gears in the rear differential are binding up. Per dealer a full differential rebuild is required.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: DISPLAY FUNCTION. Rear backup camera failed, requiring the replacement of the radio unit. A rearview camera that does not display an image reduces the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash. Specific to 2020 Ram 1500, but potentially similar to the recent recall of newer year 2022-2024 Ram 1500 / 2500 trucks [XXX] ).

About a year ago the passenger side visor fell from the arm side and was dangling in the window from the cords that operate the light. I almost ran into another vehicle when it happened. About 2 months ago, the driver side did the exact same thing as i was approaching a stoplight I could not see and almost hit the car in front of me.

After I got the vehicle, during the first winter in January of 2021, I was filling up the vehicle at a gas station in Kansas. The fuel pump clicked off long before the tank was full and continued to click off every 3 seconds or so when attempting to continue. I stopped filling the tank at about half full after about 20 minutes in the freezing outside temperatures thinking it might have been something wrong with the pump. The gas gauge only read 1/2 full. I went to the next exit and tried again. Same situation. It took forever and finally after repeating this for about another 20 minutes, it finally did go to full but then leaked gasoline everywhere like it didn't stop because it was clogged or something. Seems to do it frequently when temps are below freezing. What ever repairs were supposedly made, did not work. I am very concerned this is a fire hazard potential if not corrected. I took it to the dealership where I purchased the vehicle and they claimed they replaced the fuel nozzle. But it continues to do this every time it gets below freezing. I am wondering if moisture / vapor is becoming frozen in the line, or that the fuel nozzle system is of poor design where the tank cannot keep up with the venting. Perhaps it was the manufacturer trying to comply with environmental regulations, but failed. In any case I worry about the fuel leaking out and catching on fire from driving or static. It is a serious problem!

Just a normal day, parked the truck in the garage and next morning noticed the Passenger side seat belt stopped working randomly and wouldn’t release. It looks like stuck like after how an accident would make it stuck. I see several recalls for 2019-2020 RAM 1500 pickups but all of them are for driver/left side seat belt. My truck seat belt that stopped working is right side/ passenger side.

The rear window leaks from the top whenever it rains or I wash the truck. The excessive leaking is causing water stains on the seats and the headliner and may cause mold and mildew creating a health issue. The dealer told me this is out of warranty and wants me to pay $174 to diagnose it. RAM Customer Service was also unwilling to do anything to take care of the problem. I don't need to diagnose it, I already know it leaks. Furthermore, they already know because two service memos have been sent to the dealers back in 2021. There was also a class action lawsuit filed for the issue in 2022. The memos acknowledge that RAM is very well aware of the defect, but because they refuse to issue a recall they don't deem it bad enough to take care of it. They also want me to pay for the full repair, why would I pay for the full repair of a known defect, inside or outside of the warranty? Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, I am going to have to switch my brand loyalty after buying 3 $60,000 Mopar Vehicles from the same dealership. Seems to me, just taking care of the problem would be well worth that kind of customer loyalty. We'll see what the dealership decides.

Exhaust manifold bolts snapping at low milage causing exhaust to possibly leak into the cabin. Most people are getting manifolds resurfaced and replacing the bolt's. If you replace manifold with new, it will warp again and break bolts again. Apparently the manifolds were not “Stress Relieved” in the manufacturing process. Lots of people are complaining and Ram dealers are saying it happens a lot. Cost to fix is approx. $1,000.

Afraid of Potential "Black Mold" health exposure due to faulty construction/design/product allowing water to leak into the cab soaking and staining headliner, seats and rugs. The water is absorbed into the insulation and fabrics. Research has confirmed this issue has been reported for more than 15 years. 2020 Ram 1500 Bighorn. Had truck at dealer for issue. A few hundred mile out of warranty, and they would not repair without us paying out of pocket. We feel that Ram should cover this issue being so many of us Ram owners have the same issue

The contact's son owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while his son was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle made an abnormally loud sound.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but confirmed that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The failure mileage was 91,189. The VIN was unavailable.

The drivers-side Sunvisor keeps falling down randomly and dangles in way of line of sight to the road. It will not stay up. The safety issue is while driving in heavy traffic in Houston, TX the visor fell down obstructing my view and I almost crashed trying to keep the Visor Up with one hand and avoiding cars changing lanes. I did take my truck to the dealer and they told me it would cost $180 just to look at and then they would tell how much it would cost to fix. I feel this should be a Safety Matter and corrected free of charge. I looked on the internet and it seems there are a lot of problems with this same issue. There were not any warning lights before or after the visor would obstruck my vision.

Broken exhaust manifold bolt. Allows exhaust gas to enter engine compartment.

Back window leaks allowing water to seap in and build up mold/mildew under head liner. Dealer says this is a common problem with the ram and manufacturer won't cover after factory warranty. Manufacturer is aware of problem but won't recall or fix issue . Mold can cause a health risk if not detected early enough.

I noticed the rear view window mouldings are cracked inside the cabin of my truck by the 3rd brake light. Everytime it rains or wash my vehicle it’s leaking water inside the cabin onto the back seat. I called the local dealer ship (empire Chrysler jeep ram dodge) and set an appointment to get it fixed under warranty. They made me wait two months after the warranty expire to be seen. Now both corporate and the dealership won’t cover the manufacture issue because my truck is out of the warranty. The rear view glass needs to be replaced in order to fix the issue. I do not have glass coverage, and I will not pay to get it replaced. I do not want mold growing inside the cave of my truck, making me and my family sick. I also had a case number with RAM customer care and they told me the same thing.

I was on my farm road and I had to back up a long distance. I was surprised to find out the truck is governed not to exceed 20 mph in reverse. While I know most people can’t go in reverse that fast , I do, I can and it’s frustrating knowing I can’t. I look at this as a safety issue because what if I was in a threatening situation and had to back up quickly to get out of that place. So picture in your head someone it trying to do me harm on a single lane road and they have stopped in front of me to carjack me or something similar. I quickly put my car in reverse only to find my max speed is 20 mph. The carjackers car has no limit and they quickly catch me and run me off the road etc etc. I do not need to have that decision of how fast I go in reverse made for me. Is this a new government regulation or something by RAM? I would like an answer.

Vibration and noise when turning. We have taken it to the Dodge dealers 5 time and they said nothing found until last visit after truck was through warranty. They report a new steering pump is needed. This issue first appeared in 2021 and was dismissed by the dealer mechanics. The dear was able to feel and hear issue when driving the truck. This steering issue poses a safety issue every time we drive the truck.

Dash will occasionally flash stop/start unavailable. Second incident yesterday happened while at a red light. Start/stop went unavailable and vehicle stalled and applied parking brake. Both incidents were while stop/start had been on and after releasing the brake. I see there is an open recall for this on the 2021 models.

Exhaust Manifolds have cracked twice on the right and once on the left side in the first 45K miles of the vehicles life. Both times replaced under warranty, there appears to be a design defect here that should be resolved. Leaking exhaust manifold in California will violate CARB emission standards.

While making a right turn from a stop, I lost all steering almost running into the car adjacent.

Both exhaust manifolds cracked creating an exhaust allowing exhaust gases/fumes into the vehicles cabin causing an obvious safety issue. No warnings lights of any sort, the components were inspected by the dealership and confirmed that they were cracked. This is a recurring problem as a quick search about ram exhaust manifolds will provide a never ending list of stories and the dealer themselves stated they are constantly replacing cracked exhaust manifolds everyday and the parts are hard to get due to the issue being so common.

Right passenger visor fell off completely from the wire in the ceiling. Left driver side visor loose and is dangling from the wire from the ceiling. They are in place hooked on to the snap on part. Neither one can be used.

Exhaust manifolds leaking at cylinder heads due to broken manifold bolts.

I am having issues with water coming in on the driver side. Every time it rains it drips right where my break pedal is and makes is really slippery and completely floods the floor where the driver seat is. This is a safety issue if I am trying to break and the break is so slippery because water is constantly on the break pedal.

The plastic stem that holds the driver side visor in place broke and the visor dropped obstructing driver visibility from the front windshield.

Rear backup camera works intermittently, can work or stop working at anytime. Difficult to hook up to a camper or back into a parking space, very dangerous when needed.

Driver’s side visor abruptly fell out of the swivel plate while driving. Visor will not stay up/in place. The visor hangs by the electrical wiring.

The frame of the back window is cracking causing water to leak into the cab. After talking to the dealership they are saying this is happening with RAM Trucks that has not been recalled. He stated that the control module is located under the rear seat which is getting wet and causing problems to the trun signals, starting of the truck and lighting to malfunction which could cause an accident. There is also airbags located on the rear roof that could cause them not to go off. This repair is going to be between 2000 and 5000 bucks depending on the damage. I believe this should be a safety recall due to the chance of someone's life being lost.

The start/stop feature on the truck has been malfunctioning and the light has repeatedly came on. The truck has stalled on me while driving on two different occasions. I was in the middle of driving on a busy road and also a highway and the truck stalled on me which could of caused any vehicle to the side of me, or behind me to hit my vehicle causing an accident especially when I have both my kids in the car. The dealer allegedly fixed the problem but clearly it is NOT fixed. The problem has been diagnosed by the dealer at their establishment. They say nothing shows the truck stalling in the computer but I have proof. The truck shook, the start/stop light came on along with the check engine light and then stalled out on me both times. I opened a case with ram care and they dont seem to be of any help nor is the dealer. The dealer refused both times to check the “e-torque” battery that controls the start/stop feature for any failures or malfunctions and gave the excuse that theirs nothing indicating its the battery yet that battery specifically controls that feature. Ram has also recalled 131k trucks and wranglers for stalling. Ive brought the truck to them 2 times this month alone and they refuse to check that battery which 2 other dealers said was the problem. I would of brought it to the other 2 dealers but ram care advised to bring it to the dealer where I purchased the truck from. This is seriously unreal and if something happens or my kids get hurt due to an accident this is gonna be a major lawsuit. I need your help.

Since the vehicle was purchased new in 2020, the check engine light has come on and the service throttle body message has been displayed 12 times. It only happens when I am towing a 5,500 pound travel trailer. When the anomalies happens, I loose engine power. Say I am traveling at 65 MPH. When the anomalies happens and the CEL and warning messages appear, my speed drops to 32 MPH. Most Interstate freeway systems have a 45 MPH lower limit. I am forced to quickly pull over to the emergency lane to avoid a crash situation. If I shut off the engine and restart it, my power comes back but the CEL is still on. The selling dealership has tried to fix this several times. The engine code that is always present is a P00AF (turbo boost control “A” module performance, I think over boost) and at one time a P0299 (turbo under boost). The latter occurred after I heard a loud “whoosh” . The turbo air hose blew off. So far the Dealer has flash programmed the engine control module, replace the turbo hose and lastly replaced the turbo itself. Not all of the anomalies have been documented by the dealer, as I am always traveling around the country when it happens and have called dealers in the city nearest me at the time and have gotten every excuse as to why they cannot look as it now. I am almost always able to resume my travels by shutting off and restarting the engine. When I arrive back home and take it in to be looked at, I’m told there is no codes and no history of a code. It can be several thousand miles after the anomalies when the dealer finally gets to look at it. FCA (Chrysler corp) is aware of the situation and has opened 4 cases for my concern. Case # 77583210 which they immediately closed, # 78338328, #79796818 and just on 06-9-2023 case # 86383024. The vehicle now has 21,726 miles on it and most of them are towing miles. The vehicle specifications state this vehicle can tow 12,000 lbs. I bought this vehicle for vacations and towing. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE!

I was pulling into a parking spot of a gas station and the ball joint of my driver side tire completely broke off and the entire wheel fell off

The driver’s side visor fell down on its own and blocked my visibility almost causing me to lose control of the vehicle because I could not see where I was going. The visor will not stay up in the locked position. I can see wires and a broken black plastic part where the visor support is located.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the brakes applied independently without being depressed. There was no warning light illuminated. While driving over a bump in the roadway, the vehicle inadvertently shifted lanes and the vehicle became uncontrollable. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced the death wobble and the vehicle spun out of control and was almost struck by another vehicle. The contact was provided a police escort to the dealer. The 4WD, ABS, and service engine warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who stated that the tires needed to be replaced. The vehicle was diagnosed, and it was determined that an unknown module needed to be replaced. The dealer also recommended that the tires be replaced for better performance. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to a tire shop and the tires were replaced but the failure persisted. While driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact was unable to control the vehicle on several occasions.

After pulling out of a parking lot, I was accelerating, probably between 30-40mph, and the transmission suddenly slipped into neutral. I had just merged into traffic and because of this defect in the transmission, my truck was sharply slowing down with several other vehicles behind and beside me. Thankfully I drove a manual transmission for years so I knew what was happening. I physically turned the gear selector to neutral and right back to drive and I was able to regain control. However, in that time, my speed probably decreased about 10mph. Had I been on a highway or in front of an inattentive driver, a serious accident could have occurred. After doing some research, I see this has happened to several other people with the same vehicle. I will definitely be taking my truck in this week. It’s still under warranty with about 23k miles.

Fuel tank malfunctions. It will not relieve pressure to fill up. Have to continually pump gas for a long time for it to fill the tank up. This has happened on multiple replacement tanks. Yes, it is available for inspection. My safety and others is put at risk because it allows gas to overflow while filling up with the automatic pump. Also due to having trouble putting fuel in it causing me to run out of fuel in the middle of traffic. This is the 3rd gas tank I've had on my dodge ram's that has had the same problem. This has happened on multiple Dodge Ram 1500's that I have owned. The component has only been inspected by the dealership when sent in for repair/replacement on each occasion. It has consistently shown to have this problem when the vehicle gets to about 40,000-70,000 miles on the vehicle. There are no warning signs or symptoms that show before it happens.

There is a problem with the way dodge/ram is doing recalls on the tailgate latches. They are only testing them out three times to see if they fail to attach. We have damage to the tailgate from a faulty latch and they said the latch passed the inspection and there is nothing wrong with it. Damage did occur while we was going down the road and the tailgate fell open but the striker is "fine" something happened!!! This is going to cause serious injuries and dodge/ram does not care. All they care about is the money not safety of the individuals. That check is useless as we all know sometimes things happen and it may no occur after the third but maybe the fourth or fifth. They will not even repair the damage the recall caused to my tailgate. But the tailgate is "fine"

The contact's brother owned a 2020 Ram 1500 Rebel. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously driven parked and left unattended a few hours later, the vehicle spontaneously caught fire. The neighbors alerted the owner that the vehicle had caught fire. The fire department extinguished the fire and informed him the fire started in the engine compartment. A 2021 Mercedes Benz CLA 250 parked in front of the Ram caught fire as well. There were no reported injuries. A police report was filed. It was unknown if the air bags were deployed. The vehicle had burnt to the frame. The vehicle was still at the owner's residence. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, who informed me an adjuster would evaluate the vehicle damage. The failure mileage was approximately 72,000

My vehicle is a 2020 Ram/1500 BIG HORN/LONESTAR (with 5.7L HEMI - V8) My VIN is - [XXX] The Engine system failed/malfunctioned while driving on the highway. (It is currently available for inspection upon request.) I will however be taking the vehicle in for an engine rebuild and reinstall on or around May 30th, 2023. My safety and the safety of others was put great risk when my engine sputtered and vehicle rapidly slowed down on the freeway, during rush hour traffic; nearly causing rear end collision. Check Engine warning lamp came on and started flashing at the time of the failure, this was first time it happened. My vehicle was diagnosed from a mechanic/technician at Milosch's Palace Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Lake Orion, Michigan. The technician said that the engine failed due to issue with Cylinder #7 and will need to be replaced - at a cost of nearly $11,000. I did find a licensed repair facility that will do a complete engine removal, overhaul and rebuild including a 24 Month Warranty. According to the gentleman at the repair facility, this is a common issue, and they are on working rotation, repairing 12-15 HEMI Engines at any time due to this common failure. 5.7L HEMI Valve Train issues have been documented over and over; this is a known issue for many years. There have been several cases where HEMI engine owners have filed lawsuits against automobile manufacturer, alleging defects or performance issues with their engines. In some cases, these lawsuits have been successful in securing damages for the owners. I could provide you with some general examples.

Rear sliding glass window does not close using OPEN/CLOSE toggle switch (it will open but not close). Dodge technician that looked at it stated the the bottom seal of the rear window had come unglued and was not allowing the window to stay on it's track while closing. As a result, the entire rear glass window had to be replaced.

2020 RAM 1500 HEMI Broken manifold bolts had fixed with 34,000 miles now the truck has 40,000 and DO NOT BOTHER CALLING MOPAR. they can care less. said i needed to take to dealer and then call back to see what they can do so I asked the rep how many ram owners have yall helped when they took the truck into a dealer for diagnostic out of warranty? No response- shocker there. I stated that mopar knows about this ongoing issue for years and will not do anything about it . Only to be told that I have to take the truck to a dealer. Where they want to charge a fortune. Something needs to be done about this.

Manifolds. This is an ongoing problem with ram owners. They blow at early mileage and progressively get worse until the fumes are in the cab. This can be extremely dangerous and could cause unconsciousness or even death if it’s bad enough. If someone where to become unconscious behind the wheel, it could put many people at danger.

Back in December and January when the weather was below 30 degrees the rear doors would not open on my truck. By the time I got to the dealer the doors warmed up enought to allow them to open, well In March we had another cold snap and my daughters left rear door did not latch all the way and opened when driving about 20 miles per hour. I have the truck at the shop today and they say they cannot find anything wrong with the truck. This only happends when the weather is cold enought to hard freeze. I am not the only one, https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/problem-with-rear-outside-door-handles.28572/

The dash on my truck is bubbling. I have searched the internet and there seems to be hundreds of complaints of this happening on the new body style Ram. It sounds like a manufacturing issue and I believe should be a recall. It is $3,500 to get the dash replaced and it seems to be happening to a lot of people.

I have a 2020 RAM 1500 truck with 35,000 and one of the two bolts holding the exhaust together has corroded complete off and the second is heavily corroded. The flange where these bolts have corroded holds the complete front section and back section on the exhaust together so if this second bolt fails, the complete exhaust will separate in the center and be extremely dangerous if this happen while the vehicle is being driven. I also have friends who had had the same issue with their RAM 1500 Hemi trucks and see multiple posts on line complaining about this same issue.

Rear window leaking water into cab. Water flows behind seat, where electronics are present. Inspected by dealership and rear window needs replacement. Not covered under warranty and repair deferred due to significant cost.

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.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving approximately 25-30 MPH, another vehicle ran a stop sign and crashed into her vehicle head-on. The vehicle then struck a pole.

The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 71,738.

November of 2022 I took my truck to the lithium dealership in Reno NV for an exhaust leak they reported back to me that they replaced the manifold passenger side. two weeks later exhaust leak returned they informed me that it was a lifter tick and there was no exhaust leak this was at 51,000 miles. The problem got worse I took it back to them twice with both times I'm telling me it was a lifter tick, but I could smell exhaust in the cab of the vehicle. Now that the truck is out of warranty it's 61,000 miles the exhaust leak got so bad I took it to a different dealership where they have found both exhaust manifolds were leaking and now that it's out of warranty the extended warranty has taken over. but with that said now I am without a car because the extended warranty does not cover loaner cars. the manifolds are both on national back order. the sad part about this is the lithium dealership said they replaced the exhaust manifold and they did not according to the Carson dodge dealership the manifolds were never changed. Apparently this is a known problem with these vehicles and the parts are on national back order. I just find it very disgusting that a dealership would kick the can down the road just so they didn't have to replace the exhaust manifolds or give me a rental car while my truck was sitting there so now I have my truck in the dealership with no ETA on when I'll get it back I'm having to rent a car on my own and still make a truck payments. Don't know if this is a common practice with Ram/Chrysler but this is a despicable way to do business. The second problem is the power steering assist stops working while I'm driving that is also at the dealership waiting for parts that are on national back order.

First intermittent ticking from engine.Then sudden loud exhaust noise at 15,000 miles. Hemi engine known to have rusted bolts/cracked manifolds in past. Recall?

Both driver/passenger side adjustable sun visors broke while driving the vehicle, causing the visor to smack me in the face, and almost veering into another street lane without intention to do so. Now that they are both broken, it is ineffective to use in order to block the sun from blinding the driver while operating the vehicle. This presents a very unsafe driving condition, as they are constantly dropping from the fastening arm. Before I attempt to purchase new replacements, I feel this should be replaced at cost by the manufacturer cause there is intricate wiring inside the arms which have detached from the fastener. My vehicle isn't even three years of age and the sun visors are not handled rigorously outside of normal operation handling. See photos provided.

The last 3 times I tried to fill my fuel tank the fuel would trickle in to the tank and the pump would shut off. The last time when the tank was finally full, after 10 plus minutes of fueling, the pump did not shut off and gas splashed back at me. It is not the pump because the fill ups were at different gas stations. There has been a Service Tech Bulletin but when I contact RAM they gave me the impression that I would be responsible for the cost of the repairs. This problem is well documented online, numerous complaints, and I feel it is a tremendous safety issue. I have an open case with FCA and we will see how that goes.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that after parking the vehicle, the air ride suspension system malfunctioned, causing the frame of the vehicle to be lowered. The contact stated that the failure sometimes occurred on one suspension, and at other times on all the four suspensions. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. After retrieving the vehicle, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 300. The contact stated that they have taken their vehicle to the dealership several times in an attempt to get it repaired but with no luck. The issue seems to be weather related since the most failures were reported when it was cold out.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to be serviced by an independent mechanic, and the mechanic noticed an abnormal sound coming from the fuel injectors.

This occurred twice under normal operating conditions. Started to proceed when light turned green RPMs went to 6000 and the gas pedal became mush no power, had to put truck back in neutral and then drive. That fixed the problem. This also occurred why driving on highway at 70MPH,applied gas and the RPMS went to 6000 pedal became mush basically lost power then put in neutral then drive again and the problem was fixed.

I have a 2020 Ram Rebel. The back window has three leaks with the one in the center being the worst. It is ruining my back seat from the water coming in whenever it rains. It appears all three leaks are coming from the top of the window.

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.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that upon entering the vehicle, he noticed that the interior of the vehicle was wet. The contact then stated that he noticed that the rear windshield was cracked, and water was leaking through the crack. The vehicle was taken to J Auto Ranch where it was diagnosed that the windshield plastic seal had cracked from the inside and the windshield needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the VIN was not included in a recall. The contact was advised to call the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was 63,619.

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 made aware of this recall in October via mail, and since then have tried to make contact with the dealership. I purchased from Carmax and bought the MaxCare warranty, but seeing as this is a recall I took the vehicle to RAM after receiving the recall notice. I told them how this is a serious recall and the fact that there is no remedy was unsafe for me to continue driving. They assured me that RAM was working on it. They offered me the option of purchasing my truck for less than I owed on it and to roll over the remaining balance into a new loan. I declined. On February 3, 2023 I was driving and my vehicle jolted and shut off. Upon starting it up again my check engine light came on. I drove half a mile to a Big O Tires shop to run the code. On a Solis Ultra reader it ran 088 - High Pressure in Fuel Rail. So i took the vehicle straight to the RAM dealership where they offered me the same resolution as last time. I declined and went to Carmax and stated that I am paying for a vehicle that I now cannot drive due to safety and since I have MaxCare that I should be entitled to another vehicle of equitable value since there is currently no remedy. I was told to go back to RAM and talk to manufacturer. I spoke with RAM care and opened a claim and was advised that a remedy is expected in quarter 2 of 2023. After several calls to many different case managers, I was advised that I would have to get a rental out of my own pocket and would hopefully get reimbursed, and that I would have to wait after the weekend to hear anything else. The service rep told me that since there is no remedy currently, the best they can do is look at it and if there are no issues to put the fuel pump back in. This is an unsafe vehicle, and I refuse to continue paying for something that does not work due to the manufacturers fault, nor am I willing to rollover another vehicle loan payment since they are not open to equitable trades.

While driving down the interstate, the sunroof spontaneously shattered. I was not under a bridge or a tunnel so nothing fell onto the sunroof. It just shattered out of no where.

The visor on the driver’s side has had a complete fail which causes the visor to fall down and block the driver’s vision. This is a significant safety hazard as it blocks the driver’s view and it takes two hands to push the visor back up so that it is not blocking the driver’s view. The same thing happened to the passenger side less than a year ago and the dealer had no problem replacing it. For some reason they won't honor fixing the driver side. Even though it is widely known that this is an issue with Ram trucks. The dealer has inspected the vehicle and determined the part is broken but extended warranty told the dealer that I needed to pay for it myself. I don't have an extra $300 to spend on a visor that was made inadequately in the first place. Internet reports suggests this is a widespread problem with the Dodge Ram. Having a malfunctioning component that causes the visor to block the driver’s view poses a significant risk that a driver could be in an accident because he or she cannot see the road ahead and cannot clear the field of view without taking both hands off the steering wheel. This is an ongoing risk for Dodge vehicles so long as Dodge does not produce adequate parts to repair the malfunctioning piece

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.

Water Leaking from rear window which will affect electronics and airbags. found cracks to window frame and wet interior. Contacted Ram 800 number and open case which was denied told would have to pay for myself. manufacture knows about faulty window's and continue to install which they want $1300.00. Buying a $60k truck you would think ram would step up and start fixing these. Just noticed after last rain.

Rear Window had cracked frame due to defect allowed water to enter vehicle during storms running down and blocking vision out back window vision. The water would freeze since defroster malfunctioned from water intrusion hampering visibility. Additionally, resulting water damage to interior and possibly electrical / airbags in ceiling next to frame exposed to water intrusion. Dealer indicated this is consistent problem with all Ram 2020 pickup trucks and older.

My 2020 Dodge Ram 1500 has water intrusion due to a manufacturer defect in the back window area. There are 2 cracks on either side of the window and and water pours in soaking the carpet and back seats. The water has also effected the back curtain airbags.

I was making a right turn after being stopped at a light and made it approximately 100 feet before the vehicle just shut off. I was able to steer to the side of the street, stop, and restart the vehicle. I didn’t hear or see anything abnormal but it all happened so far. The dealer is looking at it now (in the next 5-7 days). This is a real safety concern.

While filling up with gas the gas pump will cut off after pumping a small amount. I reposition the pump into the neck of the gas tank and try to pump more gas. The same problem occurs. You can only pump 25 to 50 cents of gas at a time. I called the dealer today after researching on line to see if there was a recall. They told me to bring it in, they would get to it in a few weeks. I researched to find there is not a recall on my truck for this problem but other 1500. My truck is having the same issue. I will update this case once its diagnosed by the dealer.

Tailgate sensor indicates that tailgate is open, when it is closed. This happens repeatedly, even after dealer repairs or adjustments. Bed-lighting remains on during this period.

After driving in a few inches of wet snow for about 20 minutes enough snow built up around the transmission that when I went to shift it into park it failed to do so. The dash displayed that there was an error with the transmission and it was unable to determine what gear I was in. The truck was not able to fully turn off and was stuck in accessory mode as a result. After changing gears multiple times with no luck I was finally able to shift it to drive and get moving again. I then proceeded to get it scheduled by the local dealership in my area to see if they could figure out what the problem was. after inspecting it they informed me that there was snow buildup on my transmission that caused the park/neutral switch to get stuck/not work. They removed the snow and said that everything was operating normally, but informed me that it was a self-inflicted issue and not a fault of the design or manufacturer. The issue has been temporally resolved by removing the snow, but there seemed to be no permeant fix for the issue.

5.7 V8 right rear exhaust manifold leaks exhaust gases due to broken manifold bolts. Weight of the exhaust header appears to fracture the header bolts causing the leak. Seems to be a common issue for the vehicle.

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.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked and idling, the vehicle inadvertently rolled forward without warning.

Manufacture defect likely

I have a 2020 Ram1500 Laramie and I developed a rear window leak. I am not sure if it was from the break light or the actual window. I did take it to the dealer and it was fixed with a 1 year warranty from the company that repaired it. However, I do not believe this is sufficient. The Truck will be 3 years old in one year as I brought it Aug 2022 and if this happens again in the next 5 years, I believe it should be covered from the manufacture as this has happened to many vehicles from what I can see on the forums. I believe this should be a recall that Ram is responsible for covering for the life of the vehicle.

When accelerating from a stop the truck loses power and fails to respond. The engine is working but the transmission fails to engage and the truck just coasts until all-of-a-sudden it jerks back into motion. The vehicle will also lunge forward when coming to a stop as if the transmission catches and decides to accelerate momentarily. This is a serious safety issue when pulling out into traffic and has almost caused me to be involved in two accidents.

The passenger side visor constantly disengages from the ceiling and falls down blocking the view of the driver. The issue requires taking both hands and shoving the visor back into the ceiling. This happened so often that now the visor won't engage back into the ceiling and the wiring for the mirror light has also broken.

Air is blowing out of Defrost on all settings. This is a safety hazard in the summer as when it is high humidity outside and the A/C is set to blow out of front facing vents only the air still blows out of Defrost and causes the window to fog up and obstructs the view out of the front window. Also during the winter when defrost only made is set the same amount of air is now blowing out at my feet. The main safety concern is during the summer for the obstructed view out of the front window. Had this looked at during routine service and dealership said this is a known issue and they have no way to fix it at this time from RAM.

Driving on a two lane highway at speed. The truck shut off, all controlls turned off and park brake applied. The vehicle to the rear nearly rear ended my truck. I swerved onto a side street to get out of traffic, barley missing a power pole. Had vehicle towed to dodge dealer and they are repeatedly stating there is nothing wrong with my vehicle. They are also refusing to pursue the matter any further.

Tailgate Issue: I own a 2020 RAM 1500 Laramie and at mileage 22,700, while driving down the highway pulling a 30ft travel trailer, the tailgate of my truck opened up without any warning. The tailgate hit the tongue jack on my camper damaging the tailgate and the tongue jack. If it wasn't for the camper jack keeping the tailgate from fully opening, all the contents in my truck bed could have fallen out of my truck onto the highway without me being aware, possibly causing an accident. I called the dealership and they said they were not aware of any recalls for that type of issue and had me bring it in. At that time the dealer fixed a shim recall that I had already had an appointment for, they took pictures of the damage and had me contact Chrysler customer service. The vehicle and camper have not been repaired. I filed a claim with Chrysler and I have an appointment on 11/3/22, with the Chrysler representative to take pictures of my vehicle. On the NHTSB, I have noticed that this same issue has happened to similar vehicles.

The visor on the driver’s side has had a component fail which causes the visor to fall down and block the driver’s vision. This is a significant safety hazard as it blocks the driver’s view and it takes two hands to push the visor back up so that it is not blocking the driver’s view. The dealer has inspected the vehicle and determined the part is not working properly and has agreed to a warranty repair. However, the part has not been available for four months. Internet reports suggests this is a widespread problem with the Dodge Ram. Having a malfunctioning component that causes the visor to block the driver’s view poses a significant risk that a driver could be in an accident because he or she cannot see the road ahead and cannot clear the field of view without taking both hands off the steering wheel. This is an ongoing risk for Dodge vehicles so long as Dodge does not produce adequate parts to repair the malfunctioning piece.

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.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while her husband was driving at a slow speed, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. The driver opened the door and the alarm engaged. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the rear electrical wiring harness was corroded, and water had entered the vehicle and damaged the unit. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 5,100. The VIN was not available.

The Ram 1500 has a exhaust manifold leak, drives side. Loud noise at start up then quiets down after warming up. The repair parts are on a national backorder. I fear there is a possiblity of fire under the hood (25 years as a firefighter). The truck is parked waiting on a call from the dealer for parts.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the passenger's side windshield wiper and the rearview camera were inoperable. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 46,000.

The visor swivel latch to the headliner malfunctioned (without warning) when attempting to move it to the side. This resulted in the visor immediately falling and dangling in front of my face with an inability to see the road. I almost crashed into another vehicle. Research on this issue shows it is a fairly common problem on this model vehicle. After removal of the visor, a fracture of the plastic swivel is clearly evident. I have the visor for inspection if you want to see it. Unfortunately, my vehicle is just over the warranty period at 40,800 miles.

Took truck into dealer for 15,000 mile service. Dealer installed software update covered by recall notice. Truck was running like Swiss watch when taken to dealer. Less than 200 miles after retaking possession and in the middle of nowhere, 2 plus miles North of Tonopah Nevada the engine quit leaving us stranded in 106 heat. Policeman took us back to Tonopah after seeing us stranded. Truck taken by flatbed trailer next day to dealer in Fernley, Nevada. It has now been 10 weeks and dealer has not been able to identify problem and get truck engine operating. RAM customer service has spewed nothing but platitudes and refused to buy back truck or render assistance to hard working dealer that will fix engine.

Vehicle turns off while driving without any errors or warnings. Vehicle turned off more than 10 times during my commute home when slowing either to turn or coming to a complete stop at a light/stop sign. Vehicle turns completely off and then abruptly applied the parking brake and clunks into park. Vehicle turns off an multiple speeds. When scanning saw the following stored messages. U0159-00 Lost Communication with Parking Assist Control Module U045A-00 Implausible Data Received From Parking Assist Module There is no warning when it stops in order to allow for safely pulling off and the application of the parking brake and slamming into park is abrupt and jarring. No way to restart till vehicle is completely stopped in traffic and then have to shift back into drive. Had more than one vehicle approach quickly as vehicle stalled on a single lane road after a sharp turn with no place to pull off. Vehicle was purchased used with around 20k and have driven it for 4,000 miles trouble free. There appears to be lots of people with similar experiences and no known solution or recall for the 2020 model but there might be ones for the 2021 and 2022. No appointments available at local dealers, trying to get it in, but not safe to drive.

Driver side sun visor connection point failure. The visor does not retract properly into the stowed position during driving, causing temporary moments of limited visibility. Use of the visor prior to failure was normal. The same failure actually occurred on the passenger side approximately 1 year prior. However, that was more of an inconvenience than safety issue. A local dealer did fix, and the cost was covered by the warranty. No inspection has occurred for the current driver side failure as of yet. I am awaiting an opportunity to have the vehicle serviced.

The sun visor both driver and passenger are defective. When driving any sudden bump in the road causes it to fall and impairs vision of the road. The sun visor is broken from the bracket which causes it to detach and fall from original place. When I spoke to dealer they informed me it was a common problem with Dodge Ram and Jeep models . However, they said since there has been no recall they refuse to fix the visor issue.

Rear power sliding window frame developed cracks at the top on both sides, above the center rear sliding window. THE FRAME LEAKS INTO CAB WHEN MOISTURE IS PRESENT. Water Intrusion has resulted in water intrusion in the rear cabin, which destroys the interior of the vehicles permanent stain marks; foul odors, mold, and mildew is a huge concern. My children ride in the back of my vehicle and I am concerned about the health issues this may cause in the future. My part is still covered under warranty at this time, however it will take 3 to 4 weeks for this part to be repaired and no guarantee it will not continue to happen at my expense, please fix this.

Both driver and passenger side visors have broken at the hinge causing the visor to hang or fall unexpectedly, impairing visibility. Passenger side broke at approx 37000 miles, driver side broke at approx 43000 miles. When driver side broke, vehicle was in motion and driver flipped visor down to shield the sun. Visor hinge broke causing driver to become both startled and sun blinded, nearly causing an accident.

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

The tailgate intermittently opens on it's own while driving. This has happened approximately 6-10 times since I purchased the vehicle in November 2021 with 10k miles. One time it was noticed less than 1 mile from home as I was travelling under 45 mph. Other times it has been at higher speeds. I was only made aware of it happening when other cars were motioning to me while I was driving. I always firmly shut the tailgate and give it a pull to confirm it is latched. I have gotten in the habit of clicking on the backup camera after I have been driving a few minutes because there does not appear to be a warning light. Because I carry many tools in the bed for work, there is a safety risk to following vehicles (in addition to the cost of lost tools). Upon inspection I have noticed play in the right hinge. It appears to be missing a bushing on the right side that is in place on the left side (photos attached). Because I drive so much for work I didn't take it to the dealer until it had 41k miles on it. The service writer witnessed the play. A an appointment has been made for August 4, 2022 for service, but I was told that it will not be covered under warranty. Feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss.

Power locking Tailgate opened while driving. This has happened a dozen times since I’ve owned the truck including the highway and local roads.

The drivers side sun visor will break loose in its mount and drop into the drivers line of vision without warning if the right holder is not engaged. It dropped on me while turning westward onto the evening sun. It completely blocked my view of the road and oncoming traffic. I had the visor open and hanging low as possible due to the evening sun.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving approximately 25 MPH, the transmission erroneously shifted to the park(P) causing the vehicle to abruptly stop and independently turn off in the middle of the road. After restarting the vehicle, the vehicle operated normal; however, later the failure recurred with the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the check engine warning light remained illuminated. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer was contacted and a service appointment was scheduled. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 47,767.

On May 31, 2022 I purchased a 2020 Dodge Ram 1500 from Rountree Moore in Lake City Florida. I was sold this vehicle under the pretense that it had been safety checked and the vehicle was road worthy. On June 17, 2022 the front tires became low on air and I had to refill the air pressure in the tires. I was scheduled to go out of town for "Father's Day" weekend and the tires became a concern for me. On Saturday, June 18, 2022 I took my vehicle to Billings Tire in Providence, Florida to check the tires before taking my trip. I was informed that the two front tires must of be originals and never rotated and some of the metal was coming through the tires. Both rear tires were not the correct size tires for this truck and needed to be replaced although they were practically new. I called my dealership salesman, Justin, and relayed the issue to him. He in turn called Billings Tire and spoke with the owner and was suggested to Justin that this issue should have been caught during the safety inspection the dealer performs. I was also informed from Billings Tire that all 4 tires should be replaced because they were safety hazards. I spent over $900.00 on new tires that same day. I have been calling Justin about this issue and he keeps putting me off and tells me is General Manager is not in. It has been a week ago and no resolution. I feel as though I was highly pressured into purchasing this truck just to make a sale and the truck was NOT road worthy. I drive the interstate 5 days a week going to work. I feel I could have been killed as well as placing others in harms way at high speeds.

Rear sliding window frame cracks causing potential water leaks and mold if not corrected has been reported by multiple people of this happening to this vehicle

Rear window frame cracked causing water leak. Concerns of having the rear window popping out.

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 antenna on the posterior roof began leaking, causing extensive damage to the headliner, including the fabric around the rear airbags. Unknown level of destruction to the airbags. It is available for inspection upon request-Photos are also available. The vehicle has not been inspected by other entities at this time. A recent thunderstorm occurred and the headliner was immediately identified to have been damaged/stained. The dealership was contacted to see if this would be covered as a manufacturing defect, however there were no open recalls and the cost was expected to be paid by the customer. Upon self assessment, the leak was identified to be coming from the antenna. No applicable warning lamps or messages to include.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH and driving over a pothole, the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was diagnosed with occupant restraint control and transmission control fault. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 37,600.

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 into a dealer for investigation and repair.

The incident has occurred three times since the first time it happened. While driving at various speeds on various types of roadways. The truck will completely shut off, power is quickly restored to the vehicle but at that point that engine has already shut off. Thus forcing me to come to a complete stop either in the middle of the road, or on the shoulder. The truck then had to be put in park, and then turned back on. This occurred three separate times, at three different instances. My safety, and the safety of my family was put at extreme risk during the instances due to the failure and leaving us stranded in the middle of several lanes of fast moving traffic. The lives of all other motorists around us were also put in danger due to the abrupt inability for me to continue driving, causing an interruption on several lanes of highway for many drivers. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request, it has not yet been inspected by a dealer, independent service center, police, insurance or other. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.

Unable to put fuel into tank. The nozzle repeatedly kicks off when attempting to fuel truck. Fuel is spit back out the filler hole no matter how the nozzle inserted. I have attempted three time at three different gas station, all with the same result. I have had the dealership look at it. I got the impression it is a somewhat common problem. There advice was to replace the fuel tank and charcoal canister, at a cost of $1600.00. A search of your web site has four of the five complaints , in the Fuel/Propulsion systems are the same as mine.

Driving 60 mph down the highway in North Dallas, no vehicles around me in close proximity, went under an overpass, the truck braked severely, no skid but a very abrupt slowing to 10-15 mph, if anyone was behind us, it would have caused a major wreck. Pulled over and turned off the front collision warning system until I could get it reported. The message it flashed on the dash was unknown object encountered. I have not taken it back to the dealer. No police were called because there was no accident, just very scary.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500 Limited. The contact stated that while driving at 20 MPH, the automatic emergency braking system activated without warning. The wheels seized and the vehicle crashed into a guard rail. No air bags were deployed upon impact. The contact later received medical treatment for injuries sustained to both hands and the right leg. There were four other passengers in the vehicle with unknown injuries. No police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where the manufacturer sent an investigator to inspect the vehicle. The investigator found no fault with the computer system. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

When vehicle drives in reverse, the rear brakes/ calibers having a loading moaning noise. The maoning noise is louder when the brakes aren't compressed and get a little quieter when they are compressed. It happens when it's cold out and the vehicle has been sitting for awhile. I'm afraid over time I will start causing issues for the rear brakes and make them malfunction.

At a gas pump, the vehicle would not fill up. Constantly kicking the pump off. Took to the dealership, replaced the tank december 2021. Ram has several technical service bulletins on various years of the 1500 having fueling issues. This started around 27000 miles. March 7, 2022 started having the same issue. Contacted fca about issue. They said see dealer and they would pass the information along to their people. Again, truck will be going back for this issue.

I have taken my vehicle to Ram dealer letting them know the Forward Collison Warning (i.e. 'BRAKE' to show in display and brake if I don't) is not working. Both time they said it was working and basically showed me the front sensors setting. I have tried to test this on the road and almost rear ended three cars: 1) speeding up when car in front is at a traffic light, 2) accelerating to 65 mph coming up on a slower car, 3) coming around a curve on a two lane highway with car coming in opposite direction. No warnings at all. My Honda Pilot shows the warnings in each of these cases. So I went back to the dearler and explained that on the Ram forum, https://www.ramforum.com/threads/anyone-else-with-a-fcw-forward-collision-warning-problem.142051/page-3#post-2623613, other drivers have noticed same thing. My RAM is a 2020. I saw where someone with a 2019 has same problem. Also showed the dealer the youtube video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SE3irp18ts, so they knew what I was talking about. They told me they don't have any way to test FC. I told them I didn't understand how the FCS is not working when the ACC is working perfectly. This was noted as well in the Ram forum. This needs to be fix immediately if it was discovered on 2019 vehicles: 1) before someone is badly injured because the FCS doesn't work, and 2) I paid for this safety feature and should have it.

Truck was going at 40 MPH and power steering went out, brakes went out and truck started to accelerate resulting in a serious crash. Vehicle was totaled out but not inspected by Dodge. There was no warning of any problems with truck.

My truck randomly stalls. Sometimes from a stopping position, sometimes at slow speeds. I have taken it to the dealership and they keep saying they can not replicate the problem and they know nothing about this issue despite the fact if you google it, you will see forums full of people having the same issues and the dealerships giving them the same runaround. Today, I almost got broadsided because it completely died when I was pulling out. The other truck had to lock up their brakes and swerve to avoid hitting me in the drivers side which would have caused a major injury to myself. This truck is not safe to drive, yet the dealership keeps telling me their is nothing they can do and I am forced to continue to drive it. I know several people have reported this to your agency also, yet their still is no recall.

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.

Pushed accelerator after a stop sign, heard a pop and immediately lost power and the check engine light came on. Coasted to a parking lot nearby and parked. Discovered the transmission cooling line disconnected spontaneously causing a catastrophic failure. Transmission fluid exploded all over the engine manifold and underneath the vehicle. Smoking ensues. Extremely dangerous to me as I had to power to the vehicle. If traveling on an interstate going highway speeds likely would have been put a great risk personally and to other drivers. Problem confirmed at the dealership after towing. Thought the connection was not made secure at the factory. Only indication after failure of component.

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 Ford F150 with the same issue during this week. They mentioned that all of them had one thing in common; rear defrost/heated, motorized slider window. The shop suggest to only use the defrost for a short period of time. That if the rear defrost stays on a prolong time it could heat the glass to extreme temperatures causing this scenario. I was never briefed on this procedure nor does my user manual i dictate such thing. Upon checking online I noticed that this has happened a lot, not only the rear window but the sunroof as well (no defrost option). I worry about glass particles falling into body parts of the passengers or potential debris hitting other cars behind you . I have an appointment for Wednesday to get the rear window replaced in a Safelite shop in zip code area 20678 and have to pay a deductible of $250.00 for something that I was not negligence. I think these are manufacturing defects, nothing hit the glass and scared the heck out of me. I'm lucky I didn't collide with anyone when I slammed the breaks.

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.

Backup camera is not working suddenly and proximity sensors neither

Rear window crack-leaks water into the floor and damages the auto receiver. The vehicle will not start and keys are not operational. Insurance company will not cover and warranties will not cover damages. Insurance company believes is a design safety issue and needs to be looked into since there are ample of complaints on the internet.

Driver side sun visor unexpectedly failed causing a visibility safety concern. The plastic holder for the sun visor broke at the base thus failed to hold the visor in place. The driver sun visor only see normal usage, pulling out and in and sliding back and forth. There were no excessive force and/or coercion. This is simply a bad design. This is a brand new truck with 13000 miles on the odometer. If this would happened during high way driving, it would have a catastrophic effect.

Eleven times now, the tailgate fails to fully lock when closed. It jams half way between being locked and not being locked. Only remedy I have found is to remove the tailgate partially and reinstall. This model has the Ram boxes. It appears there needs to be a bushing on the right side to keep the tailgate from shifting out of position.

Backup camera stopped working, just a black screen shows up. Also, the side mirrors both hit and rub the driver and passenger windows when folded.

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 to call an engineer from Chrysler. Contacted dealer today , said nothing about an engineer and that they can’t look at it until next week.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 -40 mph, the wheels were moving back and forth, and the steering wheel was shaking. The parking brake not available message was displayed. The traction control warning indicator light was flashing and the brake warning light was illuminated. The contact sustained injuries to his left wrist and medical attention was provided. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact was concerned about driving the vehicle. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 38,600.

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 back on after waiting about an hour. Most recently, the vehicle has went dead and come back to life three times over the course of 4hrs (while waiting for a tow truck).

Potential "Black Mold" health exposure due to faulty construction/design/product allowing water to leak into the cab soaking and staining headliner, seats and rugs. The water is absorbed into the insulation and fabrics. Research has confirmed this issue has been reported for more than 15 years. 2020 Ram 1500 Bighorn Quadcab.

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 it does they should be able to fix it.

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 over 200miles logged for the day.

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 the issue. I'm not sure how a late model vehicle with this amount of technology can almost stall and leave no details of what caused the problem and alert the driver.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the tailgate would intermittently open without warning. The contact called the manufacturer and was informed that there were no recalls on vehicle. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 7,000.

Bought new Ram 1500 BigHorn in March 2020. In August 2021, I noticed on long left curves, my steering would stick at the 10-11 o'clock position and remains in that position coming out of the curve when I tug the steering wheel to the right. Since it was out of warranty for an alignment, I brought it to a Firestone 2 weeks ago for the alignment. I noticed the issue again and brought it back to Firestone where they did another alignment. They suggested its a rack and pinion issue. Today, September 13th, I called the only 2 RAM dealers in town and explained my situation and they said it could be weeks for them to get parts. This is my only vehicle and I am driving it from Arizona to North Carolina to relocate for a new job. I wanted this documented in case something happens on my 2200 mile trip that is caused by the steering. Thanks.

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 this time they said we cant see the problem theres no codes stored and we cant see whats the issue called Chrysler customer service they were not able to do anything for me had to take the truck and drive it and now it happened again and i was googling the issue seems like it's happening to a lot of customers this is very very dangerous and needs to be looked at thank you

Rear windshield surround cracked. Water is entering vehicle. Concerned about excessive moisture in and around airbags.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that as he hitched a travel trailer to the rear of the vehicle, the rear springs collapsed, and the vehicle was no longer level due to the lack of support from the lift springs. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The contact stated he received a recall notification from the manufacturer informing him that the vehicle was not assembled with the proper lift springs and the dealer would replace all four coil springs with the 1-inch lift spring for the suspension of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for the recall repair and the dealer replaced the lift springs with the same standard coil spring instead of the 1-inch lift spring as instructed by the manufacturer. The dealer was made aware of the issue and informed the contact that they could not assist because they were not allowed to change the sales codes on the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The contact was still awaiting a call back from the manufacturer. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 10,500.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while reversing the vehicle, the back over prevention camera ceased and the brakes locked up without warning. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact was informed to deactivate the safety device. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 8,200.

Steering wheel locked up while car was moving. Was able to replicate. Seems intermittent though. Towed to the dealership, wasn't locking then. Service Representative confirmed they have seen this before and seemed to know exactly what to do. Scary - life safety issue!

Vehicle engine shuts off unexpectedly while in operation. Can happen in any condition: idling, accelerating, cruising or coasting. If at a slow speed (less than 5mph) vehicle activates emergency breaking then shifts itself into park. Can happen WITH or WITHOUT “Auto Start/Stop” being activated (fuel saver). When emergency breaking enacted, I’ve almost been rear-ended by trailing car. This issue has been reported on driver forums.

I bought my 2020 Ram on 6/7/2021, driving it home that night the throttle body control sensor and the steering stabilizer sensor failed and came across my dashboard along with a check engine light, the truck started quickly acceleratingon its own, I had zero response from the gas pedal I could only use the brake. The next day it went back to the dealership to be fixed. They replaced the sensor in the gas pedal. I had to wait a few days to get it fixed. On 6/23 this problem happened again, the truck started rapidly accelerating on its own. The dealership towed it from my house to an authorized Ram dealer. I had to wait 2 weeks to get it back. I got it on 7/7. The dealership said that they did computer work to the truck but found no other issues, the sensor in the gas pedal was fine. Driving home from work last night 7/9 the dashboard lit up again and the truck started accelerating on its own for the 3rd time. I am now afraid to drive it.

Sunroof exploded into pieces while driving. With a shotgun sounds. No outside impact on the pieces of the sunroof.

The tailgate gets stuck closed leaving me unable to open it until I take it to the dealership and they pry it open with a tool from the shop. The tailgate also randomly pops open while driving and carrying items in the bed of the truck. Luckily nothing has fallen out since I also strap it in.

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

Worping of the drivers mirror. A bit waving. No recall found.

I HAVE BEEN NOTICING MY TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SLIPPING FROM TIME TO TIME STARTING AROUND 35 TO 40 MPH. IT ONLY HAS 22000 MILES ON IT, AS WELL AS BOGGING DOWN THE ENGINE WHEN I LET OFF THE GAS WHEN IT DOSE HAPPEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING THE VEHICLE IN EITHER DIRECTION, THE SPINDLE WOULD HIT THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS ON THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH CONTROL ARMS WERE DAMAGED FROM REPEATEDLY COMING INTO CONTACT WITH EACH OTHER. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DOWNSHIFTING. THE CONTACT HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO GILL CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (1100 S. MADERA AVE, MADERA, CA 93637) HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC FOUND NO FAULT WITH THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THE ISSUE WAS NORMAL DRIVING OPERATION. THE CONTACT THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO RAZZARI CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (1605 AUTO CENTER DR, MERCED, CA 95340) WHERE HE WAS GIVEN THE SAME INFORMATION AS THE OTHER DEALER ABOUT THE CONTROL ARMS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE FOR THE TRANSMISSION HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 36,000.

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 THE FREEWAY WHEN COMING TO A STOP. ON THE FREEWAY!, HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. THANK YOU.

THE REAR WINDOW OR 3RD BRAKE LIGHT STARTED ALLOWING WATER INTO MY TRUCK. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN AT GLADSTONE DODGE FOR ALMOST A MONTH NOW AND I STILL DON'T HAVE MY TRUCK BACK.

THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT IN THE TRUCK IS LEAKING AND CAUSING WATER TO COME INSIDE THE CAB AND STAIN THE HEADLINER. WATER INSIDE THE CAB COULD CAUSE MOLD TO GROW AND CAUSE SERIOUS HEALTH CONCERNS. IT COULD ALSO CAUSE ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THIS HAS BEEN A GRADUAL ISSUE OVER TIME AND HAS BEEN CONFIRMED LEAKING BY THE DEALERSHIP. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AS THE WATER LINE IS EVEN AROUND THE REAR AIRBAG AND COULD CAUSE A MALFUNCTION LEADING TO INJURY OR DEATH AS A RESULT OF A CRASH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACTIVATE THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM, THE SYSTEM FAILED TO OPERATE AS DESIGNED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER CHAMPION CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, INC. (907 S CLINTON ST, ATHENS, AL 35611, (256) 262-3133) HOWEVER, WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 16,185.

WAS PULLING OUT OF THE GAS STATION & THE DASH STARTED TO BLINK. AS SOON AS IT BLINKED THE STEERING BECAME ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. I AM NOT WEAK BY ANY MEANS & I COULD BARELY TURN. IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH IF I WASN'T GOING UNDER 10MPH. THIS IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE DOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE LOVE'S GAS STATION IN MEAD KANSAS AROUND 6:40PM ON MARCH 23RD 2021.

PURCHASED 2020 RAM LIMITED ON JULY 14, 2020. MSRP WAS $70,355. ON JULY 16 WAS TRAVELING ON I-15 WHEN ALL TRAFFIC WAS STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS TRAVELING OVER 70 MPH. I APPLIED BRAKES AND NOTHING, DIDN'T EVEN SLOW ME DOWN. TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH ANY OF THE STOPPED CARS I LEFT THE ROADWAY AND DROVE ONTO THE SHOULDER AND INTO THE BAR DITCH. TOOK ME APPROX HALF MILE TO GET STOPPED. STOPPED BY GOING UP AN EXIT. WHEN I FINALLY STOPPED, I WAS TERRIFIED. I CHECKED BRAKE PEDAL FOR OBSTRUCTION AND IT WAS CLEAR. BEING AN AVERAGE COMMON CITIZEN, NO MATTER NEW OR USED VEHICLE, WE EXPECT THE VEHICLE TO STOP WHEN WE PUSH ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN IT DOES NOT IT IS TERRIFYING. VEHICLE HAD APPROX 500 MILES AT THE TIME. OVER $1700 DAMAGE TO MY NEW TRUCK. FORWARD TO DECEMBER 29, 2020: WENT TO MY LOCAL POST OFFICE, PULLED INTO PARKING SPACE, AGAIN, NO BRAKES. HOWEVER WAS GOING VERY SLOW (5 MPH OR LESS. CRASHED STRAIGHT INTO BRICK BUILDING. ABSOLUTELY NO RESPONSE FROM BRAKES NOR DID THE "AUTO STOP" ENGAGE. OVER $5000 DAMAGE TO TRUCK AND $???? DAMAGE TO BUILDING. FORWARD TO JAN 1, 2021: PULLED INTO PARKING LOT, TRIED STOPPING, AGAIN NO BRAKES. AS IT WAS A HOLIDAY AND THE EVENING, NOT MANY CARS IN PARKING LOT. WAS ABLE TO STOP WITH AID OF PARKING BRAKE. HAS BEEN TO LOCAL DEALER, I TOLD THEM TO KEEP IT AS LONG AS NEEDED AND DRIVE AS MUCH AS NEEDED. THEY KEPT IT FOR ONE WEEK, SAID NO CODES ON COMPUTER, DROVE 8 MILES SAID NOTHING WRONG. HAVE NOT DRIVEN FOR 2 MONTHS (SCARES ME). AWAITING ANOTHER DEALER (NEXT CLOSEST 250 MILES AWAY) TO PICK IT UP TO CHECK IT OUT SOME MORE. VEHICLE NOW HAS LESS THAN 4000 MILES. ABSOLUTELY NO SUPPORT OR HELP FROM RAM. BEEN FIGHTING WITH THEM FOR 2 MONTHS. HAVE GOTTEN NOWHERE! I'M NOT A ROOKIE, HAVE BOUGHT AND OWNED BETWEEN 75-100 CARS IN MY LIFE. NEVER A PROBLEM WITH A DEALER OR A MANUFACTURER, UNTIL NOW!!! SEE ALSO 11397598

DURING WARM WEATHER AFTER COMING TO A STOP, THEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE GAS PEDAL IS COMPLETELY DEAD. NO AMOUNT OF PRESSURE OR PUMPING OF THE PEDAL HAS ANY AFFECT. THE VEHICLE MOVES FORWARD AT IDLE BUT NO OTHER ACCELERATION. AFTER 5-10 SECONDS, THE ACCELERATING COMES ON 100%. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS THE IDLE ALLOWS THE VEHICLE TO MOVE FORWARD INTO TRAFFIC BUT STANDS YOU WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC BEARING DOWN WITH NO IDEA THAT YOU CANNOT MOVE!

HOT SMELL IN CABIN WHEN USING 4X4 MODE NAVIGATION SYSTEM IS NOT ACCURATE, SHOWS ME ON ROADS I'M NOT. SPEED SIGN RECOGNITION EITHER DOES NOT WORK OR IS VERY INACCURATE. TRAFFIC JAM UPDATES NEVER HAPPEN. LANE KEEPING SYSTEM DISPLAYS MESSAGE TO PLACE HANDS ON WHEEL. THEN TURN OFF. MY HANDS ARE ON THE WHEEL, IT STILL DEACTIVATES ITSELF. VEHICLE HAS SORT 8 WEEKS IN DEALERSHIP, THEY CAN FIX IT

HELLO IAM CONTACTING YOU GUYS REGARDING MY 2020 RAM 150@ THE ISSUE FIRST STARTED IN OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR I WAS DRIVING DOWN TO THE BRONX AND WHEN I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP OIL PRESSURE LOW MIL CAME ON AND LOUD NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE I GOT SCARED AND REPLACED OIL WITH A AFTERMARKET IT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND I IMMEDIATELY CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND HAD TRUCK TOWED TO DEALER ONCE THEY TOOK IT IN THEY FOUND THE OIL FILTER AND IMMEDIATELY BLAMED ME FOR IT AND SAID THAT THE ENGINE SEIZED AND I WOULD NEED 15,000 TO REPLACE I FEEL LIKE THIS IS NOT RIGHT I UNDERSTAND I PLACED MY HANDS ON THE TRUCK BUT THIS WAS AFTER THE ISSUE HAPPENED I DON'T BELIEVE A BRAND NEW TRUCK WITH 7,500 MILES SHOULD BE GOING THRU THIS

WATER LEAK ON SLIDING REAR WINDOW/BACK OF CAB

I WAS DRIVING ON I-15 BETWEEN CEDAR CITY, UT AND ST GEORGE, UT. DRIVING APPROX 75MPH WHEN SUDDENLY TRAFFIC WAS STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME IN BOTH LANES. APPLIED BRAKES WITH ABSOLUTELY NO RESULTS. DROVE OFF OF PAVED PORTION OF HIGHWAY TO AVOID HITTING STOPPED CARS. VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 500 MILES ON IT AND I HAD OWNED IT FOR 3 DAYS. FINALLY GOT VEHICLE STOPPED APPROX 3/4 MILE DOWN THE ROAD. APPROX $1700 DAMAGE TO VEHICLE. APPROX 5 MONTHS LATER I PULLED INTO U.S POST OFFICE TO PARK. BRAKES AGAIN FAILED AND I HIT BRICK BUILDING AT APPROX 5MPH OR LESS. APPROX $5000 DAMAGE TO VEHICLE AND UNCERTAIN OF DOLLAR DAMAGE TO P.O. BUILDING. THREE DAYS LATER I PULLED INTO MA PARKING LOT, BRAKES FAILED AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID ANY PARKED CARS, MAINLY BECAUSE PARKING LOT WAS ALMOST EMPTY. I WAS ABLE TO USE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP IT. THE FOLLOWING MONDAY I TOOK IT TO STEPHEN WADE DEALERSHIP. THEY HAD IT FOR 5 DAYS, CHECKED FOR CODES, DROVE IT APPROX 8 MILES AND TOLD ME TO COME GET IT. THEY COULD FIND NOTHING. FACTORY CUSTOMER CARE TOLD ME TO TAKE IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP. CALLED FOR APPT AND WAS INFORMED THAT DUE TO SAFETY PROBLEM AND ACCIDENT, THEY WOULD NOT TOUCH IT. CALLED RAM CUSTOMER CARE BACK, TOLD THEM DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO LOOK AT IT. CUSTOMER CARE SAID TO TAKE TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. NEXT CLOSEST DEALERSHIP IS OVER 120 MILES AWAY. THEY SAID DEALERSHIP HAS RIGHT TO REFUSE TO WORK ON IT AND THEN TOLD ME THAT RAM FACTORY TECH GAVE ORDERS NOT TO TOUCH IT. NOW I HAVE A RAM TRUCK WITH BRAKE PROBLEMS THAT NEITHER LOCAL DEALERSHIP OR FACTORY TECH WILL ACCEPT TO WORK ON. I HAVE A $70,000 MSRP, 5,400 LB "PAPER WEIGHT". NO HELP FROM FACTORY. TRUCK DOES NOT HAVE 4,000 MILES AND APPARENTLY THE FACTORY WARRANTY IS WORTHLESS. SEE ALSO 11402784

AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT, WHEN BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY, BRAKES HOWL/GROWL WHEN APPLIED. HAPPENS ONCE EACH DAY. MANY COMPLAINTS ON-LINE OF SAME THING HAPPENING TO DODGE RAM 1500 5TH GEN. SEE SERVICE BULLETIN 05-001-19. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR ONE MONTH. BOUGHT IT WITH 5600 MILES ON IT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING DAILY SINCE I BOUGHT IT.

REAR WINDOW CRACKED. LEAKING WATER INTO TRUCK

THE FUEL FILLER LINE ISN'T WORKING PROPERLY. THE PUMP SHUTS OFF CONTINUOUSLY WHEN TRYING TO FILL THE TANK. IT ONLY FILLS A COUPLE OF SECONDS THEN SHUTS OFF. IT CAN TAKE 15 - 20 MINUTES TO FILL A TANK OF GAS.

VEHICLE EMITS A STRONG VIBRATION IN 1800-2000 RPM AT EVERY GEAR AND SPEED WHEN THE ENGINE IS UNDER LOAD. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT VIBRATE AT THIS RPM RANGE IN PARK OR NEUTRAL. VEHICLE EMITS VIBRATION THROUGH DRIVER STEERING WHEEL, GAS PEDAL, FLOOR, AND SEAT. VIBRATION ALSO FELT IN PASSENGER FLOOR. VIBRATION CAUSES BOOMING, SOUNDS IN THE CABIN THAT ARE UNCOMFORTABLE. VIBRATION IS INCREASED WHEN IN 4WD AUTO VS 2WD AND 4WD HIGH. VIBRATION IS AT IT'S LOUDEST AT CRUISING SPEEDS ON HIGHWAY WHEN IN THE AFFECTED RPM RANGE. FCA IS UNWILLING TO ADDRESS THE VIBRATIONS OF THE VEHICLE AND REFUSES TO DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR. VEHICLE IS DESCRIBED AS "OPERATING AS DESIGNED" AND THIS IS A "CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE" FROM FCA CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES AND TECHNICIANS/ENGINEERS. VIBRATIONS CAUSING HEADACHES AND NAUSEA DUE TO GENERAL DISCOMFORT OF THE CABIN VIBRATION. ISSUE DID NOT EXIST UPON PURCHASE OF VEHICLE, BUT RATHER DEVELOPED AFTER ROUGHLY 2000 MILES.

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE BRAKE FOR UPCOMING TRAFFIC THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN TO THE FLOOR. TRIED PUMPING THE BRAKES AND THAT DID NO ACTIVATE THE BRAKING SYSTEM. RESULTING IN REAR ENDED A STOPPED VEHICLE AND PUSHING THAT VEHICLE INTO THE ONE IN FRONT. THERE WAS AMPLE ROOM TO STOP IF THE BRAKING SYSTEM HAD NOT FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS RECIEVED ON GSA CONTRACT, IT ONLY HAD APPROXIMATELY 3200 MILES ON IT AND HAD NEVER BEEN SERVICED.*DT

OUR ISSUES WITH OUR 2020 DODGE RAM STARTED ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 15TH. AFTER ARRIVING HOME, I PARKED THE VEHICLE AND ENTERED MY HOME AROUND 6:45 PM(WITNESSED ON VIDEO); AT 7:45 PM I WENT OUTSIDE TO GET SOMETHING I HAD FORGOTTEN IN THE TRUCK AND NOTICED IT AT THE BOTTOM OF OUR DRIVEWAY (ON RING VIDEO). I WENT INSIDE TO GET MY HUSBAND WHO CAME OUT AND PULLED IT BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND ENGAGED THE PARKING BRAKE.WE LEFT HOME THE NEXT DAY AND NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE STARTED TO "CHUG" AS WE SLOWED DOWN AND TOOK A LEFT TURN. WE CALLED OUR DEALERSHIP AND WERE URGED TO BRING IN THE TRUCK THAT DAY AS THEY STATED THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. UPON ARRIVING HOME TO UNLOAD EVERYTHING BEFORE HEADING IN, WE PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK. MY HUSBAND AND I EXITED THE VEHICLE (OUR CHILDREN WERE IN THE BACK SEAT) WHEN AT 1:27 PM IT STARTED TO ROLL BACK DOWN OUR DRIVEWAY. AFRAID FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR KIDS, MY HUSBAND QUICKLY JUMPED BACK IN AND APPLIED THE BRAKE MANUALLY. EVEN THOUGH THE TRUCK WAS IN PARK, IF HE TOOK HIS FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE, IT WOULD CONTINUE TO ROLL. ONTUESDAY, JANUARY 19TH, A SERVICE MAN ASKED FOR MY HUSBAND TO COME IN AND DISCUSS THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE VIDEO WE SENT IN (RING VIDEO)) AND DO A TEST DRIVE WITH A TECHNICIAN. DURING THE TEST DRIVE THE TECHNICIAN DROVE THE TRUCK AND EXPERIENCED NO ISSUES, AT THIS POINT HE ASKED MY HUSBAND TO SWITCH SEATS AND DRIVE INSTEAD. ON LEVEL GROUND, THE TRUCK WAS PUT IN PARK, THE TECH ASKED HIM TO ENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE AND THEN PUT IT INTO GEAR WITHOUT DISENGAGING THE PARKING BRAKE AND THE TRUCK STARTED TO ROLL FORWARD. ADDITIONALLY, HE HAD HIM DO THE SAME PROCESS IN REVERSE AND HAD THE SAME RESULTS WITH THE TRUCK ROLLING BACKWARDS. AT THIS POINT, THE TECHNICIAN SHARED THE SAFETY CONCERNS FOR OUR FAMILY AND WANTED TO RUN MORE TESTS SINCE THEY WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE SAME ISSUE AS THE VIDEO WE HAD SENT IN ON FLAT GROUND.

HIGH LEVELS OF COPPER IN THE OIL. VEH. HAS 20,400 MILES ON IT. THREE CONSECUTIVE OIL CHANGES WITH OIL ANALYSIS PERFORMED. BEARING FAILURE OCCURRING, OIL PRESSURE HAS DROPPED 4 PSI.WHILE DRIVING FREEWAY SPEEDS. PSI AS LOW AS 28 AT IDLE....

WHILE STOPPED IN LINE AT A FAST FOOD DRIVE THRU LINE THE BRAKES RELEASED ALLOWING TRUCK TO IDLE INTO CAR AHEAD SLIGHTLY DAMAGING BOTH VEHICLES. NO AMOUNT OF PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD ANY AFFECT ON STOPPING. DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM AND SCAN SHOWS NO CODES EXCEPT THE FRONT PARK SENSORS MOST LIKELY DAMAGED IN THE CONTACT. RAM STATED IF THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE ISSUE THEY ARE OF NO ASSISTANCE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, SEVERAL OF THE SAFETY FEATURES FAILED INTERMITTENTLY TO FUNCTION AS DESIGNED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE, THE BACK-UP CAMERA WAS INOPERABLE. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING, THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATED INADVERTENTLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STOP WITHOUT ANOTHER VEHICLE OR OBJECT BEING NEARBY. THE BLIND SPOT MONITORING SYSTEM WOULD FAILED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REVERSING THE VEHICLE WITH THE DOOR OPENED, THE SAFETY FEATURE WOULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE AND THE AUTO PARKING FEATURE WOULD NOT PROPERLY PARK THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER LENOIR CITY CHRYSLER LOCATED AT 1206 E BROADWAY ST, LENOIR CITY, TN 37772 WHO REPLACED THE INFOTAINMENT CENTER AND UPDATED THE SOFTWARE HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100.*DT CONSUMER STATED THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS RECURRED.*JB

THIS TRUCK IS MARKETING AND SOLD WITH A SPEED WARNING FEATURE - AN AUDITORY ANNOUNCEMENT WHEN THE SPEED LIMIT HAS BEEN EXCEEDED. THIS FEATURE RELIES ON ACCURATE SPEED LIMIT DATA BEING IN THE CAR'S NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM. RAM AND THEIR MAPPING SOFTWARE VENDOR, "HERE", KNOW THEIR NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM HAS MAJOR SPEED LIMIT ERRORS AND HAVE NO PLANS TO ADDRESS. THERE ARE WAYS THEY COULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE: MAKE A REASONABLE ATTEMPT TO UPDATE ERRORS (AND ALLOW CUSTOMERS TO SUBMIT THE ERRORS), DEACTIVATE THE SOFTWARE (IT CANNOT BE RELIED UPON), AND/OR INFORM CUSTOMERS THAT THIS SYSTEM CANNOT BE RELIED UPON AS A SAFETY DEVICE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HE WAS AT A STAND STILL AT TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AUTO START STOP WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED HE WAS ABLE RESTART THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE TO HIS DESTINATION. THE CONTACT STATED HE HAD EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER MULLAHEY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (2520 GOLDEN HILL RD, PASO ROBLES, CA 93446, (805) 369-2400) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE STEERING COLUMN MODULE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000.

THE REAR FRAME AROUND THE REAR CAB WINDOW CRACKED AND IS LEAKING WATER. THIS IS ON A RAM 1500 THAT IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD WITH ONLY 5,500 MILES ON IT. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY UNUSUAL USE OR DAMAGE THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. MANY OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS EXACT SAME CRACK AND WATER LEAK. REPLACEMENT WINDOWS DON'T SEEM TO FIX THE ISSUE AND CRACK AGAIN.

PLASTIC REAR WINDOW SURROUND FRAME CRACK.

WHILE DRIVING, OUT OF THE BLUE MY TRUCK WILL PULL OUT OF CENTER AND SOMETIMES STICKS WHEN TRYING TO PULL IT BACK. DOES THIS MOSTLY IN LEFT TURNS OR ON THE HIGHWAY. IS VERY DANGEROUS AND ALMOST CRASHED ON WET ROAD. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T FIND PROBLEM. TOOK ME ONLY 5 MINUTES TO FIND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON LINE FOR THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE. SOME SAID THAT THE RACK AND PINION WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER AND THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. I NEED TO HAVE THIS FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

A CRACK HAS APPEARED ON THE TOP PLASTIC FRAME OF MY REAR WINDOW AND NOTICED MOISTURE STARTING TO SEEP THROUGH. I NOTICED THE MOISTURE AFTER MY TRUCK BEING PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY DURING SOME RAIN. TRUCK ONLY HAS 13K MILES ON IT.

I HAVE OWNED MY 2020 RAM 1500 CREW CAB 4X4 FOR 8 MONTHS. THE PLASTIC FRAME THAT SURROUNDS THE REAR WINDOW GLASS HAS CRACKED AND CAUSED THE WINDOW TO LEAK. THIS OCCURS BOTH WHEN THE TRUCK IS IN MOTION OR IS PARKED. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BECAUSE WATER CAN SEEP INTO THE REAR AIRBAGS CAUSING THE AIRBAGS TO MALFUNCTION. ALSO WITH A CRACK IN THE REAR GLASS FRAME THE GLASS MAY EXPLODE CAUSING HARM TO THE BACK SEAT PASSENGERS.

TOO BAD I CAN ONLY MARK 3 AREAS WHEN THERE ARE MANY MORE. FOLLOWING SAFETY SYSTEMS AND DRIVER AID EITHER DON'T WORK OR WORK SPORADICALLY: FORWARD COLLISION, REAR COLLISION, LANE KEEP, AUTO HIGH BEAMS, REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT, RAIN SENSE WIPERS, NAVIGATION, VOICE COMMAND, PARKING GEAR, FRONT AND REAR CAMERA, MEMORY SEAT EASY ENTRY ( DOESN'T GO BACK TO CORRECT POSITION), HOT SMELL IF USE AWD SETTING. INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM TOTALLY MALFUNCTIONS. TRUCK BEEN IN 7-8 TIMES FOR PROBLEMS, THERE OVER 2 WEEKS ON 2 VISITS, RADIO REPLACED. STILL HAVING ALL PROBLEMS. BEEN GOING ON SINCE NEW, OVER A YEAR AGO. HAS HAD NUMEROUS RAM UPGRADES AT DEALER AND OVER AIR. NEVER KNOW IF SAFETY SYSTEMS ARE GOING TO WORK OR NOT. HAVE LOST ALL TRUST IN THIS VEHICLE. WILL BEING BACKING UP AND BRAKES LOCK UP AS IF REAR SENSORS HAVE DETECTED SOMETHING WHEN THERE IS NOTHING. REAR DETECTORS TURN OFF BY THEMSELF. CAMERAS STAY ON. NAV CURSOR SHOWS ON MAP 6 MILES AWAY FROM ACTUAL LOCATION. BASICALLY ALL ELECTRONICS WORK SPORADICALLY. HAPPENS IN MOTION AND WHILE NOT IN MOTION. ALL GLITCHES BLAMED ON ELECTRONICS IN INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM ACCORDING TO RAM. PUT TRUCK IN PARK AND CONTINUES TO ROLL FORWARD. OPENING DOOR IS SUPPOSED TO ENGAGE EMERGENCY BRAKE. DOES SOMETIMES AND OTHER TIMES DOES NOT. WITH THIS MANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS I'D HATE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT, PROBABLY THE AIR BAGS DON'T WORK. PERIODICALLY GO TO START VEHICLE AND IT'S DEAD. NO CHARGERS ARE PLUGGED IN IT ANYTHING THAT SHOULD DRAIN BATTERY. NOW CARRY A JUMPER BOX AFTER I WAITED OVER 2 HOURS FOR RAM ROADSIDE SERVICE.HAVE ASKED FOR REPAIR ORDERS BUT HAVEN'T BEEN GIVEN THEM. HAVE NOTED EVERY GLITCH WITH RAM CUSTOMER SERVICE VIA EMAIL. CASE IS OPEN. NOTHING GETS DONE.

TAILGATE HAS OPENED WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE AND WAS FLAGGED DOWN BY SOMEONE LETTING ME KNOW THE TAILGATE WAS OPEN. I WAS ABOUT TO LOOSE MY TOOL CHEST. VEHICLE COMES WITH TAILGATE AJAR WARNING LIGHT BUT THIS FEATURE DOES NOT WORK ON THE VEHICLE. ONLINE BOARDS FOR RAM ALSO STATE SIMILAR EXPERIENCES. WANT TO ENSURE THIS SAFETY ISSUE IS KNOWN AND ADDRESSED. RAM HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT

SUNROOF EXPLODED! DRIVING ON FREEWAY WE HEARD LOUD BLAST AND THAN THE GLASS WAS GONE! NO OTHER CARS AROUND. NO OVERPASS FOR MILES. GLASS BLEW UP AND GONE LIKE VALCANO. WE HAD TO DRIVE 30 MIN IN THE RAIN HOME. DEALER CURRENTLY SAYS NO WARRANTY?

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.

I WAS PULLING IN BEHIND A PARK VEHICLE IN ORDER TO PARK MYSELF. I WAS IN A HS PARKING LOT WHERE SOME MUCH MORE SERIOUS COULD HAVE HAPPENED. I WAS MOVING APROX 1-3 MPH AND ABOUT TO STOP AND PARK WHEN THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED. I WAS 10-12 FEET BEHIND THE PARKED VEHICLE. THE TRUCK ACCELERATED SO HARD IT PINNED ME BACK TO THE SEAT. I FRANTICLY TRIED TO STOP THE TRUCK AND AT THE SAME TIME THE ANTI COLLISION KICKED IN AS WELL TO SLOW THE TRUCK. UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS NOT QUICK ENOUGH TO PREVENT FROM HITTING HE CAR IN FRONT. THE LOWER PORTION OF MY BUMPER HIT THE MID RARE OF THE OTHER VEHICLE AS THE TRUCK MUST HAVE BEEN RAISED FROM THE FORCE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THAT NIGHT AND FILED A CLAIM WITH FCA. THEY PULLED THE DATA FROM THE TRUCK AND DID AN ANALYSIS. THEY ARE CLAIM THERE WAS NO MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION AND I ACCELERATE AND BRAKED LATE. THE REPORT SHOWS THAT THE TRUCK ACCELERATED TO 100%!. YOU SIMPLY DO NOT ACCELERATE TO 100% BY ACCIDENT WHICH I THOUGHT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN INDICATED THAT SOMETHING EITHER KICKED IN AND MADE THE TRUCK ACCELERATE OR THE PEDAL JAMMED BUT SOMETHING. I AM ADAMANT THAT I DID NOT ACCIDENTLY ACCELERATE TO 100% BY ACCIDENT. I SPENT THE MONEY ON THIS TRUCK TO HAVE THE PIECE OF MIND THAT ME AND MY FAMILY ARE SAFE. I NO LONGER HAVE THAT COMFORT. I HAVE ATTACHED THE DATA REPORT. I CANNOT ATTACHED THE CORRESPONDENCE FROM FCA AS I CANNOT ATTACH A WORD DOCUMENT

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 THAT WHILE DRIVING WITH THE DRIVER'S AND THE PASSENGER'S SIDE REAR WINDOWS ROLLED DOWN, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY AS IF THE TIRES WERE OFF THE GROUND. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WITH PASSENGER'S SIDE REAR WINDOWS ROLLED UP, THE SHAKING STOPPED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND INSPECTED THE WHEELS BUT FOUND NO VISUAL FAILURES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER RESUMING DRIVING. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT HIS STEP-DAD HAD THE SAME VEHICLE AND EXPERIENCED SIMILAR FAILURES WITH THE REAR WINDOWS ROLLED DOWN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ERROR IN THE DYNAMIC DESIGN FLOW WITH SIMILAR 2020 RAM 1500'S. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 14,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE. THERE WERE OTHER CARS AROUND BUT VEHICLE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME WAS NOT CLOSE THERE WAS NOT ANY SOUND LIKE SOMETHING STRIKING THE VEHICLE. IT SOUNDED MORE LIKE A SHOTGUN BLAST AND THEN BROKEN GLASS AND WIND NOISE SOUNDS. THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A PANORAMIC SUN ROOF, BUT ONLY THE SLIDING PORTION IS BUSTED.

THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT DELAY IN THROTTLE RESPONSE ON THE 1500 ECO-DIESEL. THERE ARE NUMEROUS SITUATIONS AND SCENARIOS WHERE YOU PUSH THE THROTTLE DOWN AND THE CAR DELAYS FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE THE ENGINE INCREASES POWER. I COULD BE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC SOMETIMES AND SOMETIMES I ACCELERATE NORMAL AND SOMETIMES WHEN I PUSH THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR DELAYS AND I AM STUCK WITHOUT ANY ACCELERATION FOR A FEW SECONDS. YOU COULD ATTEMPT TO SPEED UP TO PASS ON THE HIGHWAY SOMETIMES AND AGAIN SOMETIMES IT DOES ACCELERATE AND SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL.

THE HVAC DOES NOT PROPERLY SEAL CAUSING CONSTANT COLD AIR TO FLOW THROUGH THE DEFROSTER. BEING IN FLORIDA, THIS CAUSES THE WINDSHIELD TO CONSTANTLY FOG UP WITH CONDENSATION LIMITING MY FORWARD FIELD OF VIEW. THIS HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY AT NIGHT AND IN THE MORNING. IT DOES HAPPEN THROUGHOUT THE DAY AS WELL NO MATTER WHAT THE CONDITIONS ARE OUTSIDE.

TRUCK FAILS TO PROPERLY ACCELERATE CREATING DANGEROUS MOMENTS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC.PROBLEM SEEMS TO OCCUR MORE FREQUENT IN WARMER WEATHER BUT IS OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY AS MILEAGE ACCUMULATES. THIS ISSUE DID NOT OCCUR IN THE FIRST 3-4000 MILES. BUT NOW OCCURS QUITE FREQUENTLY. WHEN IT HAPPENS THE ACCELERATOR IS FULLY DEPRESSED WITH EXTREMELY SLOW ENGINE ACCELERATION. THE FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH ISSUE A SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE WARNING DISPLAYED. THE CEL SET AT THAT TIME CLEARED BY ITSELF. DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DETERMINE CAUSE. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS LIKE IT IS ENGINE & BOOST MANAGEMENT RELATED.

BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELS EXCESSIVELY ON FIRST APPLICATION OF BRAKES WITH OVERALL POOR BRAKING PERFORMANCE. A RAPID SECOND OR THIRD BRAKE APPLICATION BRINGS BRAKE PEDAL UP TO NORMAL LEVEL, 1-2 INCHES HIGHER THAN INITIAL APPLICATION RESULTING IN NORMAL BRAKING PERFORMANCE. THE ISSUE FEELS LIKE OLD STYLE REAR DRUM BRAKES THAT NEED TO BE ADJUSTED BUT THIS TRUCK HAS MODERN 4-WHEEL DISC BRAKES. THE PEDAL HEIGHT TO FIRM SOLID PEDAL CAN BE EXPERIENCED PARKED OR IN MOTION. THE REDUCED BRAKING PERFORMANCE IS A HIGH RISK TO SAFELY DRIVING THE VEHICLE.

VEHICLE WAS DROPPED OF AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE REAR WINDSHIELD. DEALERSHIP USED 3RD PARTY FOR WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT. UPON GETTING THE VEHICLE BACK, IT WAS LATER FOUND THAT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE SEATBELT WAS NOT RE-ATTACHED TO BOLT AND THE MIDDLE SEATBELT WAS IMPROPERLY ATTACHED. MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE REAR SEAT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND THE SEAT BELT JUST RETRACTED PULLING THE CONNECTIONS WITH IT WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS

THE A/C WILL ALWAYS BLOW COLD AIR ON THE WINDSHIELD REGARDLESS OF MODE. THIS CAUSES THE WINDSHIELD TO FOG ON THE EXTERIOR SIDE LEADING TO POOR VISIBILITY.

TURNED INTO DRIVEWAY TO PARK TRUCK AND BRAKES DID NOT WORK THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP IT HIT MY GARAGE AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO STOP IS WHEN I THREW IT INTO REVERSE SO IT WOULDN'T KEEP GOING. THE AUTOMATIC BRAKES THAT KICK IN WHEN TOO CLOSE TO SOMETHING ALSO DID NOT WORK OR KICK IN.

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.

WHILE BACKING UP AN INCLINED DRIVEWAY ONTO A BUSY ROAD THE REAR BRAKING ASSIST ACTIVATED WITHOUT CAUSE, SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE, LEAVING ME EXPOSED TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. WE WERE ABLE TO RESTART AND PULL BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY SO THERE WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT BUT IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

THE ISSUE OCCURS BOTH STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. THE 12" INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM DOES NOT PLAY ANY SOUND OR ALLOW THE VOLUME TO BE ADJUSTED. THE SIRIUSXM FEATURE SHOWS A PERPETUAL LOADING SCREEN BUT NEVER ACTUALLY LOADS THE APP OR PLAY MUSIC. THE ISSUE IS EXTREMELY DISTRACTING AND TEMPTS DRIVERS TO TRY AND FIDDLE WITH IT WHILE DRIVING WHICH CAN LEAD TO DISTRACTED DRIVING. THE ISSUE ALSO PREVENTS BLUETOOTH HANDS-FREE CALLING FROM BEING USED TEMPTING DRIVERS TO TEXT OR PERFORM A NON-HANDS FREE CALL WHILE DRIVING.

FREQUENTLY, WHEN SLOWING OR COASTING SUCH AS WHEN MAKING A TURN OR COASTING PRIOR TO A STOP - WHEN IT IS NECESSARY TO RESUME ACCELERATION THEIR OCCURS A DELAY OF 2-3 SECONDS WHERE THE DRIVE TRAIN DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO RESPOND. WHEN IT FINALLY DOES IT GOES INTO GEAR ABRUPTLY FOLLOWED BY THE LATE RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR POWER FROM THE PEDAL INPUT. IN PARTICULAR THIS PRESENTED A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN I WAS IN A CENTER TURN LANE GETTING READY FOR A LEFT TURN OFF A TWO LANE HWY. WHEN THERE WAS A SUFFICIENT GAP TO MAKE THE TURN THE DELAY CAUSED A FEW HEART PALPITATIONS WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND. I WAS TOWING AN ATV TRAILER AT THE TIME AND WANTED TO SPEED MY ENTRY TO THE SIDE ROAD I WAS TURNING ONTO. THIS FAULT HAS OCCURRED MANY TIMES NOW AND IS PRETTY REGULAR. AS AN ENGINEER I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SOFTWARE ISSUE. NO UPDATES ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE.

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 AND/OR DEATH.

WINDSHIELD CRACKED. 12' CRACK DUE TO STONE FROM HIGHWAY. . RAM DEALERS CANNOT CALIBRATE SENSORS ON WINDSHIELD BECAUSE RAM HAS MADE SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE TOO EXPENSIVE FOR PURCHASE. RAMFIAT STILL HAS NOT RELEASED 2020 SOFTWRE UPDATE TO 3RD PARTY VENDORS. I CALLED RAM SUPPORT AND THEY ADVISED NO ASSISTANCE CAN BE OFFERED 'AT THIS TIME'. I HAVE A NEW TRUCK I CAN'T SAFELY DRIVE.

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.

I DROVE THE VEHICLE AND THE TAILGATE WAS NOT PROPERLY LATCHED. THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A TAILGATE AJAR WARNING LIGHT, BUT IT IS DISABLED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE TAILGATE POPPED OPEN WHILE DRIVING AND ITEMS FELL FROM MY TRUCK BED ONTO THE ROAD CREATING A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD FOR OTHER DRIVERS. BECAUSE THERE WARNING LIGHT IS PURPOSELY DISABLED, I WAS UNAWARE OF THE HAZARD UNTIL I STOPPED THE TRUCK AT MY DESTINATION. WHEN CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER, I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE WARNING LIGHT. THIS FEATURE IS LISTED ON MY EQUIPMENT LIST FOR THE VEHICLE WHEN PURCHASED BUT PURPOSELY DISABLED BY RAM. IT CREATES A SIGNIFICANT HAZARD FOR DRIVERS BECAUSE UNKNOWING TO THE DRIVER OF THE TRUCK, THE TAILGATE CAN POP OPEN ALLOWING ITEMS TO FALL ON THE ROAD. WHATS WORSE, IS THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THEY DISABLED THE WARNING BECAUSE THEY ALSO HAVE AN ISSUE WHERE THE WARNING LIGHT WOULD COME ON BECAUSE THE TAILGATE SHOWS AS UNLATCHED, EVEN THOUGH IT IS LATCHED CORRECTLY. I FIND IT DISTURBING THAT THE MANUFACTURER WOULD DISABLE A SAFETY FEATURE FOR CONVENIENCE.

ON SUNDAY, JULY 19, 2020, PARKED AND TURNED ON THE AC. START SMELLING SOMETHING BURNING AND WHITE SMOKE STARTED TO COME OUT OF FRONT AND CAB VENTS. IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF AND LET TRUCK SIT FOR 30 MINUTES AND DROVE ABOUT TEN MILES AND THE WHITE SMOKE AND SMELL RETURNED. PULLED OVER ON THE FREEWAY TO CHECK UNDER THE HOOD FOR SMOKE. NO SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. SO, WE CALLED DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THIS WAS NORMAL FOR AN ECODIESEL TRUCK. THE SMELL AND SMOKE GAVE PASSENGERS INSIDE THE VEHICLE HEADACHES. WE WERE MADE AWARE THAT THIS WASN'T NORMAL AND NEEDED TO BRING THE TRUCK IN. THE SMOKED CONTINUED TO TRAVEL THROUGHOUT THE TRUCK VENTS EVEN AFTER IT WAS PARKED AT THE RESIDENT. JULY 20,2020 CONTACTED ROADSIDE SERVICES AND HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSTIC WAS THE HEATER CORE CAUSED THESE PROBLEMS. PASSENGERS EXPERIENCED HEADACHE FROM THE SMOKE AND BURNING SMELL. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY FOR SOMEONE THAT IS UNABLE TO SMELL, ESPECIALLY IF ALL THE WINDOWS ARE UP. THE TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 3,500 MILES. THIS WAS A BRAND NEW 2020 VEHICLE AND IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP BEING REPAIRED.

THE DASH LIGHTING AT NIGHT, WHEN HEADLIGHTS COME ON CAUSING A REDUCED BRIGHTNESS TO THE DASH LIGHTS, THE REDUCED BRIGHTNESS MODE IS TOO DIM AT IT'S HIGHEST SETTING FOR NIGHT TIME MODE. WHILE IT IS POSSIBLE TO MOVE THE BRIGHTNESS DIAL TO DAYTIME MODE, BY MOVING THE DIAL PAST THE NIGHT TIME MODE, THAT IS TOO BRIGHT MAKING VIEWING FOWARD DIFFICULT. I FEEL THIS CREATES A HAZZARD FOR NIGHT TIME DRIVING IN THIS VEHCILE.

ACCIDENT HAPPEN 5/20/20. WAS APPROACHING A STOPPED VEHICLE WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED. KEPT TRYING TO APPLY BRAKES AND NOTHING HAPPEN. IMPACT AT APPROX 35 MPH. AFTER IMPACT THE TRUCK STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS AND HAD TO PUT IN PARK TO STOP THE TRUCK. TOW TRUCK DRIVE ALSO HAD ISSUES LOADING ON THE ROLL BACK, BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK. WE TOWED TO OUR BODY SHOP FOR REPAIRS. THEN WAS TAKEN TO FAULKNER DEALERSHIP FOR EDR TESTING. NOTHING MECHANICAL WAS EVER DONE WITH THE TRUCK AFTER THE BODY WORK WAS DONE. BOSCH RELEASED THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP. TRUCK HAS 513 MILES AND LITTLE OVER 200 OF THE MILES ARE WHAT WE DROVE IT. PURCHASED WITH MILES ON IT. FIAT / CHRYSLER DO NOT SEE AN ISSUE WITH THE TRUCK VIA THE REPORT. I HAVE SENT THE REPORT TO A SEPARATE PARTY THAT IS NOT HIRED BY FIAT AND THEY INDICATE TO RESEARCH PAGE 42 OF THE REPORT ON THE MASTER CYLINDER BRAKING SYSTEM. WE DO NOT SEE ANY INDICATION ON ANY CODES THAT WERE RECOVERED PERFORMED BY BOSCH. WE KNOW IN FACT THAT THERE WERE MULTIPLE BRAKE CODES AND FEEL THAT THE INFORMATION IN STILL IN THE "BLACK BOX". AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED AT IMPACT OF 35 MPH FRONTAL IMPACT.*DT*DT*JB*JB

I HAVE OWNED A 2020, RAM 1500 LIMITED EDITION SINCE MARCH 2020. WHEN DRIVING THE STEERING STICKS IN THE 11:00 POSITION. IF I RELEASE HAND OFF WHEEL AND STEERING REMAINS IN POSITION. I HAVE TO PULL THE WHEEL BACK TO 12:00 POSITION. THIS PROBLEM STARTED OCCURRING ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY BEEN GETTING WORSE. I TRAVEL 1500 TO 2000 MILES A MONTH AND AFRAID I MAY OVER CORRECT ESPECIALLY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. SPOKE WITH DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THIS WAS THE 1ST THEY HAVE HEARD OF THIS ISSUE. HAVE NOT FOUND A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. I WILL BE TAKING THE TRUCK BACK TO DEALERSHIP SAT JULY 25, 2020.

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.

WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 35 MPH ON A STRAIGHT ROAD, WAS HIT A BY A VEHICLE WHO SPED OUT OF A SIDE ROAD. I WAS HIT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT FENDER BY THE CAR, THEN I CRASHED HEAD ON INTO THE FUEL TANKS OF A SEMI TRUCK. MY TRUCK HIT THE SEMI SO HARD IT THROUGH MY TRUCK BACKWARDS MORE THAN A TRUCK LENGTH. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED.

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS IN THE PAST WEEK, THE THROTTLE PEDAL IN THIS GEN 3 ECODIESEL ENGINE HAS FAILED TO RESPOND UPON PRESSING IT TO MAKE A TURN AFTER DRIVING THE TRUCK FOR A FEW MINUTES. I WILL DRIVE A FEW MILES, THEN STOP IN A TURNING LANE AWAITING A CHANCE TO COMPLETE THE LEFT HAND TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC, AND WHEN I APPLY PRESSURE TO THE THROTTLE PEDAL NOTHING HAPPENS. IT'S AS IF THE PEDAL HAS BEEN UNPLUGGED. AS I CONTINUE TO HOLD PRESSURE ON THE PEDAL, SEVERAL SECONDS WILL GO BY AND THEN IMMEDIATELY THERE WILL BE A HARSH JERK AND THE TRUCK WILL IMMEDIATELY APPLY POWER. THIS IS A SEPARATE ISSUE FROM THE TERRIBLE LAG IN THROTTLE RESPONSE THAT HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE THE TRUCK WAS BRAND NEW. THIS LOSS OF ALL PEDAL RESPONSE ONLY BEGAN TO HAPPEN THIS PAST WEEK, WITH APPROXIMATELY 3,800 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. *TR

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

VEHICLE IS MISSING TAILGATE AJAR WARNING LIGHT. ACCORDING TO BUILD REPORT ITS LISTED UNDER VIN AND IS IN THE 2020 RAM 1500 MANUAL. I NOTICED THIS AFTER I PULLED AWAY WITH TAILGATE OPEN. REALIZED IT SHOULD HAVE A WARNING LIGHT AND BEGAN TO INVESTIGATE. DEALER SAYS I DON'T HAVE THIS, BUT CUSTOMER SERVICE SAYS I HAVE IT AND PLUS ITS IN THE MANUAL. *TR Consumer like to add, he noticed staining to headliner from water leak. This should be a safety recall since it can be effecting the drivability of vehicle and safety of vehicle occupants. Water is possibly penetrating thru roof antenna, rear window and through vehicle third light. Water started leaking through the air bag area, seat belt tensioners, car speakers and coming in contact with electrical components of vehicle. Carpet and insulation is wet caused by this leaking.*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON REVERSING THE VEHICLE AT VARIOUS OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY STOPPED WITHOUT WARNING. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 700.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE OR IN REVERSE, THE BRAKES ACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER AND TO LIA DODGE LOCATED AT 2116 CENTRAL AVE, SCHENECTADY, NY, 518-579-3300, WHERE AN UNKNOWN SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE HOWEVER, PROVIDED NO ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 500.

I WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY AT 65MPH WHILE STEERING POWER SHUT OFF AND WARNING ON DASH CAME ON SAYING POWER STEERING WAS DISENGAGED. I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY SHUT VEHICLE OFF CHECKED UNDER HOOD AND NOTHING. GOT BACK ON VEHICLE STARTED IT AND WARNING HAD GONE AWAY AND STEERING WAS OK. DROVE FOR ABOUT 10 MILES AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I WAS TOLD TO DRIVE VEHICLE TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BATTERY. VEHICLE WAS IN SHOP FOR A DAY. THEY CALLED AND SAID PROBLEM WAS FIXED. I LEFT THE DEALER, DRIVE 40 MILES AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. TOOK IT BACK. AND NOW THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE. POWER STEERING GOES OFF RANDOMLY. IM GLAD I DIDN'T HAVE MY FAMILY WITH ME. TRUCK IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL WITH NO POWER STEERING. I ALSO NOTICED WHILE DRIVING TO THE DEALER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WOULD GO DIM AND THEN BACK TO NORMAL. *TR

THIS DEFECT HAS THE REAL PROBABILITY OF CAUSING DAMAGE TO BOTH MY VEHICLE AND ANOTHER VEHICLE. TAKING MY NEW TRUCK THROUGH A CAR WASH, I PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AT THE START OF THE WASH. THE CAR WASH HAS ROLLERS THAT DRIVE THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL THROUGH THE CAR WASH. AT THE END, MY VEHICLE DASHBOARD INDICATES THAT I NEED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL AND PUSH THE START/STOP BUTTON ON THE DASH. AFTER DOING THIS, THE DASHBOARD THEN TELLS ME THAT I NEED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL AND PUT THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE. EACH TIME I DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE DRIVER'S REAR TIRE JUMPS OVER THE ROLLER PUSHING THE VEHICLE AND THE DISTANCE BETWEEN MY VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME CLOSES. MY RAM HAS THE LARGE MONITOR SCREEN, AND HAS THE ABILITY TO INSTALL APPS. WHAT IS NEEDED IS A "CAR WASH APP" THAT DISABLES THE REQUIREMENT TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE FOR THESE TWO PROCEDURES AS LONG AS THE VEHICLE WAS 1) ROLLING IN NEUTRAL; 2) HAS NOT TRAVELED MORE THAN X FEET (300); AND 3) HAS NOT TRAVELED FASTER THAN 4 MILES PER HOUR. *TR

VEHICLE CONTINUALLY HAS A DEAD, -DEAD- 0 VOLT BATTERY OVERNIGHT. STARTED ITS 1ST WEEK HOME AND HAS REPEATEDLY HAPPENED HALF A DOZEN TIMES RANDOMLY SINCE. FULLY CHARGING THE BATTERY TAKES ALL DAY. THE BATTERY HAS PROBABLY TAKEN PERMANENT DAMAGE. I HAVE TO CARRY A 1000 AMP JUMP BOX AT ALL TIMES TO HAVE RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION. DRAINING A AGM 85 AHR BATTERY DEAD FLAT IN A FEW HOURS IA A MAJOR PROBLEM AND A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. THERE IS NO SHORTAGE OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET HTTPS://5THGENRAMS.COM/COMMUNITY/THREADS/DEAD-TRUCK-CLASS-ACTION-LAWSUIT.17342/ HTTPS://5THGENRAMS.COM/COMMUNITY/THREADS/HOW-MANY-TIMES-HAVE-YOU-HAD-A-DEAD-BATTERY.17149/ *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT AROUND 300 MILES. CODE P3497. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDS NEW LIFTERS. TRUCK WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET WHEN LIGHT CAME ON. *TR

USUALLY, THE GAS NOZZLE AUTOMATICALLY TURNS OFF THE GAS WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. WHILE WAITING FOR THIS TO HAPPEN, HAND ON NOZZLE HOLDING IT OPEN, THE GAS OVERFILLED, GUSHED OUT OF THE FILL TUBE, AND OUT FROM UNDER THE TRUCK. A BIG PUDDLE OF GAS ON THE GROUND. I THOUGHT THE NOZZLE SHUTOFF MALFUNCTIONED. I WENT TO FILL MY TRUCK AGAIN ON 5/5. I PUT THE NOZZLE INTO THE FILL TUBE AND SQUEEZED THE HANDLE. GAS GUSHED OUT OF THE FILL TUBE RIGHT AWAY, OUT FROM UNDER THE TRUCK AND CREATING ANOTHER LARGE PUDDLE OF GAS ON THE CONCRETE. I HAD A SIMILAR, NO CAP, FILLING TUBE ON MY 2013 F-150 AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM IN 7 YEARS. SO I CALLED MY DEALER TO REPORT THIS AND SEE IF OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THERE IS A SECOND VALVE IN THE FILL TUBE AND I NEED TO INSERT THE NOZZLE ALL THE WAY INTO THE SPRING. I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO SEE IF THIS CORRECTS THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, MANY TIMES WHEN I HAVE TRIED TO FILL VARIOUS VEHICLES THAT I HAVE OWNED, SOMETIMES I HAVE TO PULL THE NOZZLE SLIGHTLY OUT TO KEEP THE AUTOMATIC TURN OFF FROM COMING ON SO I CAN FILL THE TANK. I NEVER TOP OFF, ADD MORE GAS AFTER THE AUTOMATIC SWITCH TURNS THE PUMP OFF. I THINK THIS IS A POOR DESIGN OR SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY FILL TUBE. I'M SURE OTHERS WILL BE DOING THE SAME THING I DID AND RAW GAS ALL OVER THE GROUND AND VEHICLE ISN'T VERY SAFE. BOTH TIMES VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND ENGINE OFF AT THE FILLING STATION. I WILL TAKE PICTURES IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN. *TR

2020 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL HAS A SERIOUS TURBO LAG. WHEN YIELDING AND THEN ACCELERATING, THE ENGINE POWER SEEMS TO JUST DROP OUT, FALLS FLAT. BY THIS TIME VEHICLE COASTS INTO APPROACHING LANES AND THEN IT WILL SUDDENLY ACCELERATE WITH A BURST OF POWER. I FEEL IT IS TURBO LAG BUT MAY ALSO BE THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT DOWN SHIFTING IN TIME IN ADDITION. I'VE HEARD NUMEROUS OTHERS MENTION THIS AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT I HAVE TO WATCH FOR CONSTANTLY BUT CANNOT CATCH IT EVERYTIME. THIS SPECIFICALLY HAPPENS EVERY TIME I GO TO EXIT MY LONG DRIVEWAY ONTO A 4 LANE HWY. *TR

THROTTLE RESPONSE OR ACCELERATION LAG AFTER LETTING OFF THE GAS TO CHANGE LANES OR SLOWING FOR CORNERS ETC. HAS HAPPENED AT END OF EXIT OFF THE INTERSTATE AFTER STOPPING AT STOP SIGN, THEN PROCEEDING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN INTO THE LANE. UPON PRESSING GAS TRUCK SEEMS TO "COAST" OR WAIT A FEW SECONDS BEFORE REALIZING IT'S GETTING GAS THEN WILL SUDDENLY ACCELERATE. YOU HAVE TO WAIT AND NOT GIVE IT GAS FOR A FEW SECONDS FOR IT TO CATCH UP.THIS CAUSES A PROBLEM WHEN CHANGING LANES IN TOWN IN TRAFFIC. APPEARS TO HAPPEN MAINLY AT SLOWER SPEEDS. SUCH LAG COULD CAUSE YOU TO GET REAR ENDED A LOT CAN HAPPEN IN 3 TO 5 SECONDS. HAVE HAD VEHICLE TO SHOP, INSPECTED AND NO SIGNS OF ANYTHING WRONG UPON TESTING. HAS HAPPENED AGAIN, WILL TAKE TO SHOP AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 OR 6 TIMES NOW IN LESS THAN 30 DAYS OF OWNERSHIP. TRUCK NOW HAS 1078 MILES ON IT. *TR

3.0L GEN 3 ECODIESEL ENGINE HAS EXCESSIVE LAG AND DELAY IN THROTTLE RESPONSE. WHILE TRAVELING AT STEADY SPEED IN LOWER GEARS 3RD, 4TH, OR 5TH AND THEN DEPRESSING ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO INCREASE SPEED, ENGINE WILL NOT RESPOND UNTIL THREE TO FOUR SECONDS HAVE ELAPSED. THIS CREATES A SIGNIFICANT HAZARD WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC OR CROSS TRAFFIC DURING A LEFT TURN. PRIOR EXPERIENCE WITH MULTIPLE GASOLINE AND DIESEL TURBO-CHARGED VEHICLES HAS NOT PRESENTED THIS ISSUE TO ME. THE 2020 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL HAS A MAGNITUDE OF TURBO LAG AND UNRESPONSIVE THROTTLE THAT IS QUITE DANGEROUS.

AFTER TAKING THE TRUCK THROUGH A CAR WASH AND BRINGING HOME TO VACUUM, I NOTICED WATER IN THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR. I NOTICED CONDENSATION UNDER THE FLOOR MAT TOO. AFTER PULLING OUT THE KICK PANEL AND ROLLING THE CARPET BACK, THE METAL FLOOR WAS WET AND THE PAD WAS SATURATED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND IT WAS REPORTED BACK TO ME THAT THERE WERE SEAMS IN THE BODY THAT WERE NOT FILLED.

MY TAILGATE KEEPS OPENING

DRIVING OFF A EXIT, AT ABOUT 10-15 MPH WENT UNDER A BRIDGE AND THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM APPLIED THE BRAKE AND STOPPED THE CAR SHORT(NO OTHER CAR WAS IN FRONT OF ME), ALMOST HAVING THE CAR BEHIND ME HIT ME. ALSO GOING INTO A PARKING GARAGE IT ALSO STOPPED SHORT 2 TIMES DURING ONE VISIT, NO OTHER CARS AROUND. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS !!!

VEHICLE THROTTLE MAXIMIZED WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE TO STOP. AFTER IMPACT WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE THE THROTTLE WENT BACK TO THE IDLE POSITION. I WAS MERGING IN TRAFFIC ONTO ANOTHER STREET. THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME WAS STOPPED FOR THE MERGER. *LN CASE NUMBER XXXXXXXX ('PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN DRIVING THE RAM, WITH THE GEAR IN DRIVE AND IN 2 WHEEL DRIVE, THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR DRIVING. THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING ISSUE WITH THE DODGE RAM AND SHOULD BE FIXED OR RECALLED. SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE 2019 DODGE RAM: HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T77803_DS971922

MY BRAND NEW 2020 RAM 1500 LARAMIE SPORT IS EQUIPPED WITH TILTING DOWN DRIVER/PASSENGER SIDE MIRRORS WHEN IN REVERSE. THE PROBLEM IS WHEN THEY TILT DOWN, THEY TILT DOWN SO FAR THAT IT IS OUT MY VIEW. I UTILIZE THIS FEATURE FOR BACKING INTO MY GARAGE, ON SIDE ON MY BOAT, WHERE SPACE IS VERY LIMITED. I ACTUALLY HAVE INCHES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TRUCK. AFTER SPENDING BIG MONEY ON MY NEW RAM 1500 2020 LARAMIE SPORT, I EXPECT ALL OF IT'S FEATURES TO PERFORM AS DESCRIBED, AND EXPECTED. AFTER TALKING WITH THE SALESMAN WHO SOLD ME THE TRUCK, HE EXPLAINED THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN THE RAM COMMUNITY ON THESE NEW 2020 VEHICLES. KNOWING THIS, IT FRUSTRATES ME EVEN MORE THAT I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF THIS INFORMATION PRIOR TO MAKING THE PURCHASE. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY.

ON NOVEMBER 13, 2019 AT 6:00PM PST WHILE TRAVELING 70MPH WESTBOUND ON INTERSTATE 90 AT THE SR18 INTERCHANGE THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECTS AND MAJOR SYSTEMS FAILURES DUE TO LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER. LIGHT CONDITIONS WERE NIGHTTIME, TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT, WEATHER WAS CLEAR. ELECTRONIC FAILURE MESSAGES BEGAN TO APPEAR ON INSTRUMENTATION PANEL APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES PRIOR TO THE TOTAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE: NAVIGATION, STOP/START, CLIMATE CONTROL, UCONNECT, SIRIUS RADIO, ADAPTIVE CRUISE ALL CEASED FUNCTION WITH NO DRIVER ABILITY TO CONTROL THESE SYSTEMS WELL PRIOR TO THE TOTAL SHUTDOWN. AT TOTAL SHUTDOWN, WITH THE VEHICLE STILL TRAVELING AT 70MPH, THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL EVENTS SIMULTANEOUSLY OCCURRED: 1.TOTAL FAILURE AND COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING, 2.TOTAL FAILURE AND COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER BRAKES, 3.TOTAL FAILURE AND COMPLETE LOSS OF HEADLIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, AND HAZARD LIGHTS 4.TOTAL FAILURE AND COMPLETE LOSS OF ALL DASHBOARD AND U CONNECT INSTRUMENTATION, 5.TOTAL FAILURE AND COMPLETE LOSS OF ALL STEERING COLUMN AND DASHPANEL CONTROLS 6.TOTAL FAILURE AND COMPLETE LOSS OF ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, 7.TOTAL FAILURE AND COMPLETE LOSS OF ELECTRONIC LANE ASSIST. 8.TOTAL FAILURE AND COMPLETE LOSS OF ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE THIS ENDED WITH THE VEHICLE BEING SAFELY PULLED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY. WHEN STATIONARY, THE VEHICLE LOST NEARLY ALL POWER; THERE WAS JUST ENOUGH REMAINING POWER TO RANDOMLY ILLUMINATE DISPLAYS AND UCONNECT IN ARBITRARY FLASHES; GIVING THE DASHPANEL THE APPEARANCE OF A NIGHTCLUB. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO THE SELLING DEALER.
