2022 Ram 3500 Problems & Complaints

While travelling in Southern California, I came to a stop to enter I8 on ramp. When I tried to start down the on ramp the truck didn’t want to move and a check engine light came on. The truck went into limp mode so would travel slowly along. I called Mango Auto who could diagnose it the following morning. I did not make it to the shop before the transmission failed completely and the truck wouldn’t move leaving me in traffic in a dangerous spot. Eventually I was towed to the shop in Yuma AZ. They diagnosed it as a complete transmission failure requiring a $10,000 replacement. FCA has issued an extended warranty, but my mileage is 16700 miles over. FCA has a technical bulletin on the issue with the Austin transmission, but has not but should have issued a recall. This failure To issue a recall left me stuck in a dangerous situation and could have resulted in a crash.

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 3500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the engine made abnormal knocking and ticking sounds. The knocking and ticking sounds became louder while accelerating. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who determined that the piston had ingested the grid heater nut. The mechanic replaced the piston, cylinder head assembly, gaskets, rod, gasket intake, Hamilton flat tappet conversion kit, and XDP grid heater. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 88,745.

In a 55mph car accident where the vehicle has been totaled and none of the airbags deployed

Vehicle lost drive via the transmission when it disengaged unexpectedly. Known issue that Stellantis classifies under "Customer Satisfaction Notice" instead of a recall. There are many examples of recalls issued by other manufacturers related to loss of drive via the transmission, so why is this being treated as a notice of inconvenience versus a safety issue? Issue is being addressed via a Technical Service Bulletin where units that fail are repaired after the fact versus proactively inspected and replaced.

The center infotainment stack screen refused to power up when starting the vehicle. The radio and hvac functions worked, but the screen would not turn on preventing the backup camera from functioning. Restarting the system twice and restarting the vehicle failed to get the system to function. Upon restart several hours later all systems appear to function normally. A video is available of the failure.

### **NHTSA Complaint Statement of Facts** **RE: Recall Y43 (NHTSA Campaign 22V-406) – Failure of Recall Remedy** **Summary:** The manufacturer (Stellantis/FCA) is refusing to provide a complete and effective remedy for **Recall Y43**. My 2022 Ram 3500 was manufactured without the **Particulate Matter (PM) Sensor**, a defect officially acknowledged in Recall Y43. This factory omission has caused terminal blockage of the **Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)**—a specific consequential failure documented in the manufacturer's own recall filing. **Technical Argument:** 1. **Causal Link:** The official Y43 recall notice states: *"The PM sensor... may not have been installed... This could increase vehicle emissions and **block the diesel particulate filter**."* My vehicle currently suffers from the exact "blocked DPF" condition described. 2. **Ineffective Remedy:** Stellantis has offered to install the missing sensor (the Y43 part) but refuses to replace the ruined DPF. Installing a sensor on a filter already terminally blocked due to the sensor's absence is not an "effective remedy" under the **National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act**. 3. **Warranty Admission:** Per **TSB 09-014-22 (X97)**, the manufacturer has issued a 1-year unlimited mile warranty extension for the DPF specifically for vehicles affected by Y43. Refusing to replace a filter that failed *before* the recall was performed is an attempt to circumvent this warranty obligation. **Safety Risk:** The vehicle is currently in "Limp Mode" with a "Filter Full - Power Reduced" message. This creates an unreasonable safety risk of **stalling or loss of power** while operating on public highways, a condition explicitly mentioned in the Y43 safety report as increasing the risk of an accident. I am seeking an order for the manufacturer to replace the DPF as part of the Y43 recall remedy at no cost to the consumer. The manufacturer’s Case Manager has denied the claim and refused further communication

I own this truck and have had issues with the exhaust regeneration process for about 6 months. I have taken it to the dealer 3 times and they have done diagnostics and replaced the diesel particulate filter, but the issue continues to happen. They have now told me that the system is not reparable and they don't have support from RAM manufacturer to troubleshoot and repair this issue. They have multiple customers with the same issue with the diesel exhaust system not operating properly, hampering the engine performance, damaging the engine and exhaust system, polluting from the exhaust discharge. This is a widely known issue with the 2022 Ram 3500 from other owners, yet RAM refuses to properly address the issue. They advertise their trucks with certain horsepower and output specs, which aren't accurate due to their faulty exhaust systems. Consumers are now completely removing the factoring exhaust systems because they damage the engines and cost thousands of dollars to attempt to repair, which many times never work. This needs to be addressed with RAM and recalls put in place to address the failures with their exhaust systems. My truck has 28,000 miles on it, 3 years old, and is not operable. The dealer has had 3 attempts to repair this and is now turning me away. Please help! Thank you

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 3500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 10-15 MPH, there was an abnormal rattling sound coming from the vehicle. The engine warning light was illuminated. The local dealer was contacted, and it was determined that the grid heater bolt had melted and fallen into the engine. The vehicle was repaired after two months due to the piston being on backorder. The manufacturer was contacted, but no additional assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 35,000. The VIN was not available.

Driver of the 2022 Ram 3500 pulled out of a driveway onto a street and ran over a pedestrian who was crossing in front of him. Driver states he did not see the pedestrian. I understand the 2022 Ram 3500 is equipped with front ParkSense Sensors, but these sensors failed to deploy. The pedestrian suffered very serious injuries requiring weeks of hospitalization and additional outpatient rehabilitation. The incident is caught on surveillance camera. The vehicle should be available for inspection upon request. The vehicle has not been inspected.

I have had the seal between the transmission and transfer case replaced 3 times due to leaking since new and after each repair within miles of each repair and all prior to the vehicle reaching 50,000 miles. The last time it was repaired at 65,000 miles they decided to replace the transmission with a new transmission - it also leaked between the transmission and transfer case within 1 day and less than 100 miles.

Every month I am receiving a check engine light for abs / traction control / failure. Dealer states HPU unit is bad, however I noticed all the fuses in the fuse box were loose. I pushed them in to reseat and the error cleared. This happens monthly. This last time happened during a snow storm and disabled abs.

***1*** The emissions system on this truck (2022 Ram 3500 with 34,435 miles) has been problematic since I acquired it 5 months ago. It continually attempts to regenerate and rid itself of ash/soot buildup. If it does not successfully regenerate, it will go into a state of reduced power, also known as limp mode. The truck is available for inspection and will be at Lithia CDJR in Corpus Christi tomorrow, 07 Jan 2026. ***2*** Today specifically, the truck flashed a message EXHAUST FILTER NEARING FULL SAFELY DRIVE AT CONSISTENT SPEED TO CLEAR. I got on the highway to achieve this and avoid lights and stop/go traffic. It typically takes around 25 minutes of consistent driving for it to clear. But today, shortly after I reached highway speeds, the truck entered limp mode, displaying EXHAUST FILTER FULL REDUCED POWER SEE DEALER. This was a very alarming incident that created a bottleneck on the highway and presumably for me to nearly be rear ended as it happened at 5:35pm. I was able to safely make it off of the highway, however this incident has put the lives of all motorists on the road around me today in danger. ***3*** The truck has been inspected numerous times by the dealership. The Diesel Particulate Filter was replaced on 01 October 2025 (this was the first time the truck went into limp mode on me). The frequent regenerations continued after the DPF replacement and a sensor was replaced on 29 October 2025. Regens continue at approximately 1 per week. ***4*** This is a known issue amongst the community of RAM truck owners. It's unfortunate that many do not report it because the safety issue could easily set off a chain reaction, especially if this heavy duty truck were to be towing a heavy load as it capable of doing.

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 3500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle hesitated to accelerate while the accelerator pedal was depressed. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed; however, the cause of the failure was not determined. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the same dealer approximately eight times, and a loaner vehicle was provided; however, after several unknown repairs, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was previously repaired under warranty. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 2,000.

The # 4 cam bearing seized to the camshaft. Upon further investigation the #4 main bearing was damaged from metal chips that were not removed during the manufacture of the engine. This damage from the manufacturing defect left the engine block damaged beyond repair. So a short block was ordered and installed.

Lifter tick issue on 2019 to 2024 ram 6.7 engines ....lifters failing casuing excessive wear on valve train known issue major costly repair

My pm sensors or particulate matter system malfunction and failed which lead to emissions issues and created my vehicle to drive in limp mode. Limp mode basically slowed downs the vehicle is slow as 5 mph as soon as this light displays at any time while driving on the highway. This put my safety in danger and the public as I transport what dot considers a type hazardous material. The sudden loss of power in the middle of the road has made vehicles around me extremely vulnerable to fatal collisions. I took my vehicle to the dealership where they confirmed this malfunction and problem with my vehicle but no recall has been issued as of yet no warning lamps appeared prior to the failure.

The contact owns a 2022 Ram Promaster 3500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 MPH, the steering wheel malfunctioned and jerked out of his hands and became difficult to turn in either direction. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the steering rack and steering rack wiring harness was faulty and needed to be replaced. The steering rack and steering rack wiring harness were replaced, and the vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle had previously experienced the failure, and the steering rack wiring harness was replaced, but the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 60,910.

While driving on interstate leaving a construction zone started to accelerate to maybe 40mph and heard/felt a hard clang and lost all forward motion costed to side of interstate. Looked underneath truck, nothing visible broken or leaking. Restarted truck tried to move forward with no luck. Reverse worked, put back in drive loud noise again stomped on the accelerator and started moving forward very slow and difficult. Made it to an exit to look at things in a safer location than the busy interstate. Figured out that I had reverse and 5th gear so it was very hard/ slow to get moving. Check engine light on, gear ration incorrect, code P0731, Tran sensor failure, no 4x4 Transmission failure 1-4 gears not working

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 3500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and attempting to accelerate, the electric power steering was not functioning properly, requiring an increased effort to maneuver the vehicle. The contact was able to pull over to the shoulder of the roadway, where the vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the wiring harness connector due to water intrusion, resulting in damages to the electric power steering control module. The contact was informed that the connector seal had failed to prevent the entrance of water leading to water damage. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 20,000.

The transmission in my vehicle failed suddenly on May 31, 2025, entering “limp mode” and losing the ability to shift properly. The vehicle became immobile and was towed to the dealership. Initial diagnostics revealed difficulty shifting between 3rd and 4th gears. Service technicians attempted repair in June based on RAM TSB MC-10231775, which indicated snap ring failure in the Aisin transmission. Repairs prescribed in TSB were attempted but unsuccessful, as the vehicle still could not shift into 4th gear. Additional parts were ordered, and another repair was unsuccessfully attempted in late June. Ram has shipped a new transmission which we are waiting on the dealership to install.

My 2022 RAM 3500 has repeated failures of the diesel particulate filter (DPF) system. The truck enters limp mode unexpectedly, including while towing on the interstate, creating a serious safety hazard due to sudden loss of power. Since purchasing the vehicle, I have experienced ongoing issues with the emissions system, specifically related to the DPF. The check engine light comes on frequently, and diagnostic scans consistently show code P2459 (Diesel Particulate Filter Regeneration Frequency Too High). The DPF system has been replaced approximately five times by authorized RAM dealer. Despite these repairs, the same problem continues to occur. The truck will sometimes enter limp mode without warning, drastically reducing engine power. This has happened while towing a camper on the interstate, making it difficult or impossible to maintain safe highway speeds or accelerate when needed. This puts me, my passengers, and other motorists at risk of a crash, particularly when merging or changing lanes in fast-moving traffic. I have already pursued and settled a claim with Stellantis (RAM’s manufacturer) for $10k due to these issues. However, the problem persists, and the root cause has not been resolved. Accepting the settlement was recommended by legal counsel. The failure has occurred on multiple occasions (at least five separate incidents). The vehicle has undergone several service visits and emissions system replacements, but the safety issue continues. Current mileage 42,000. Dates of incidents from most recent: 6/25 (still in shop), 3/25, 9/24, 8/24,7/24,6/24,4/24,1/24,7/23,6/23,11/22. Documentation available upon request. Diesel particulate filter (DPF) system replaced approximately five times. I believe there is a defect in the design or operation of the emissions system that poses a safety risk. Loss of power while driving at highway speeds or towing creates a dangerous situation. I am reporting this in hopes that NHTSA will investigate this recurring issue.

Transmission failure while driving not allowing to go in park after we got stopped. Truck un operable to get out of traffic.

The contact owns a 2022 RAM 3500. The contact stated while her husband was driving at 65 MPH, coming to a stop the brake pedal was depressed however the vehicle failed to stop in a timely manner rear ending the vehicle in front of him. The contact stated that no air bags deployed. The contact stated that her husband sustained injuries to his shoulders and his head. The vehicle was towed to caliber consultation auto shop. Medical attention was required. The contact stated that a police report was filed. The contact mentioned the vehicle has not been deemed a total by her insurance company yet. The contact stated that the failure was not diagnosed by a dealer or independent mechanic. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 3500. The contact stated while driving approximately 65 MPH during the rain, the windshield wipers suddenly failed to operate as needed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the park switch wiring had failed. The wiring was replaced; however, the failure remained. The dealer determined that the Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) had failed and DTC: B2303/11; was retrieved. The contact stated that the VCM was repaired; however, the failure remained. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 161,000.

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 3500. The contact stated while driving 40-45 MPH and hauling a 14-ft loaded trailer, the engine made an abnormally loud knocking sound. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to pull over to the side of the road. The vehicle failed to restart and was towed to the residence, where a mobile independent mechanic diagnosed that the grid heater nut had melted and entered cylinder #6. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the grid heater nut failure had caused catastrophic failure of the pistons, turbo charger, and engine. The dealer determined that the engine assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the repair could not be covered under warranty due to the mileage on the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 112,700.

Trailer brake controler will report not connected when it is connected correctly. Systemm was tested and everything on the trailer is working properly. system was working corretly and suddenly stopped when on the interstate. Have had multiple shops look at the issue and no one can locate the issue. The radio/infotanment system will also disconnect radomly. Both act like a wire is lose. disconnect then reconnect and disconnect and reconnect, over and over. The radio disconnecting from the phone is an issue however not a safety concern like the trailer brake issue is. When I am pulling a 16,000 pound camper and the trailer brake stops that means I no longer have traler brakes and that can be an issue when stopping.

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 3500. The contact stated that while driving on a main street at 10 MPH and attempting to make a turn, the vehicle experienced a loss of steering. The contact stated that the steering linkage had disconnected. The contact stated there was a clunking sound underneath the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. Upon inspection, the contact noticed that a bolt securing the steering rod to the steering linkage had detached. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed and determined that the steering linkage had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 42,000.

Driving on highway 02/24/2025 approximately 07:15 pm EST at 65 mph, vehicle began Diesel DPF automatic regeneration cycle. Strong smell of "burning trash" and fuel vapor entered cabin with windows up. this happens frequently

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 3500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed with the heated steering wheel feature activated, the steering wheel became extremely hot; making the vehicle difficult to maneuver because the contact was only able to hold the steering for several seconds while driving. The contact stated that the steering wheel was replaced a year prior due to a separate failure. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who observed that the steering wheel reached temperatures of more than 120-145 degrees. However, after consulting with the manufacturer, the dealer informed the contact that the feature was operating as intended and within specifications. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was unknown.

Emission system failure. Code P2459 Regeneration Frequency. Overheating of the DPF while stuck in regen cycle causes burning smell and diesel fumes in the cabin while driving. Suspected vehicle on fire. Date of incident 01/25/2025. Vehicle at dealership for repair 01/28/2025. Dealership repair unsuccessful following STAR approved process of elimination. Vehicle returned to dealer 02/18/2025 for same issue. Many customers with 2019-2022 diesel engines having same issue. No known fix according to dealership.

Intermittent fault causing ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), SERVICE BRAKES, cruise control, to disable while driving.

Firestone trans force Ht. 275/70R18 These tires came from factory on my Dodge Ram. The truck is around two years old and only with 13,500 miles on it. All four tires are failing and cracking on the side walls. I know earlier models of the same exact tire was recalled for the same issue.

Intermittent abs and traction control alarm. Very random and can come on without notice. Similar issue to the recall issued in September for the 1500 ram.

Started getting an alarm for abs and traction control alarm with 15000 miles, it would come and go every few thousand miles. Truck now has 44000 miles and the alarm has appeared twice in the past 4000 miles. This almost caused an accident as it disables the abs at any given time. The dealer says it is the Hydraulic Control Unit.

ABS LIGHT IS ON I HAVE A PROBLEM WHIT THE ABS MODULE

On 9 September, while driving, I got an emergency dashboard notice that stated Throttle System Malfunction contact dealer. It went out and then another immediately flashed that stated Exhaust System Malfunction contact dealer. The vehicle lost power within seconds after the second notice. I coasted to a stop on the side of the road. Once stopped, smoke quickly started coming out of the engine compartment and then flames. I contacted 911, an engine arrived but the truck was fully engaged and completely burnt.

The UCONNECT digital center display occasionally goes completely dark or shuts off. Sometimes displays an error message like "uconnect box requires service". This display is essential for managing everything from air conditioning to music and navigation. When the windshield fogs up and you need to adjust airflow while driving for visibility, this malfunction can be distracting and pose a safety hazard. Additionally, the rear backup camera fails to function when the screen is blank, which is particularly concerning in this long-bed truck when reversing in parking lots. This issue has been presented to the dealer, and the vehicle has been dropped off for service. Initially, the problems were minor, such as difficulties with CarPlay connectivity and the screen rebooting, but I could not replicate the issue. However, it has since escalated, occurring with every trip, and the dealer is now able to observe the problem firsthand.

Transmission failed in heavy interstate traffic while towing 35 ft 15,000 lbs RV. My RAM 3500 only has 19,000 miles and is still under new vehicle warranty. The event: While travelling on Washington DC beltway in lane 3 of 4 without warning my transmission starting slipping. No abnormal noise, no dash lamps warning of an issue. As I pressed on accelerator my speed continued to decrease. I quickly signaled to right lane in an attempt to get off the road. I was slowing at a rate I was concerned I may be stopped on highway with vehicles traveling 55 mph approaching. I did make the shoulder in between an exit and entrance ramp with barely enough room for a tow truck to be in front. I had 3 ft on my left with 55mph traffic passing constantly. The vehicle was towed to a local RAM dealer as my wife and I waited on the highway with RV for second tow service. This all could have been avoided. Why was a TSB or recall already in place? RAM has many transmission failures on the 2022 Aisin transmission noted on RAM truck forums. I had read about it but considered myself lucky as I was almost 2 years driving truck without any problems. My safety, my wife and tow truck drivers safety were put at considerable risk due to Stellantis not alerting RAM dealers of a potential transmission failure. Research Noah Leotta Police Officer Montgomery County Maryland. The circumstances we experienced were exactly how he lost his life. I have not received work ticket from dealership, I will follow up with documentation when requested.

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 3500. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced the death wobble while driving. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the vehicle was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired because the VIN was not under recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was 34,000.

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 3500. The contact received notifications of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 22V835000 (Power Train) and 23V060000 (Electrical System); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

While driving around 20 mph, suddenly heard a clunk, then several dashboard warning lights came on. Truck suddenly had no torque- would only move forward if the engine was revved at much more than normal amount. Nearly complete loss of ability to accelerate from a stop/low speeds. Took to an independent service center who ran the ODB codes, showing the now well-known issue of "transmission failure gears 1-4" Warning lamps include the lane sense and check engine lights, and a message on the dash that reads ACC not available, Automatic high beams not available. Prior to this, no problems with the truck at all. I am trying to arrange getting it towed to a dealership.

22 Ram 3500 Cummins diesel with Aisin transmission. Transmission output shaft seal leaking in between transmission and transfer case.

The engine stopped while driving with no warning and provided no opportunity to exit the travel lane of the road. No warning lights were illuminated on the dashboard and all gauges appeared normal leading up to the event. This event is extremely frustrating, but I am thankful that it didn't happen on the interstate as there is no telling what the outcome may have been......... Leading up to the event, I had been driving on the interstate around 70mph for about 180 miles since the last restart. I exited the interstate and made it about 3/4 miles on a secondary road and the engine died without warning and the truck came to a quick stop in the lane of travel. No abnormal sounds were observed, just a sudden unwelcome deacceleration that did not provide enough time to exit the lane of travel. It was like stepping on the brakes. I attempted to restart the truck and the starter would not crank the engine and briefly pulled enough voltage to kill all the electronics. I attempted starting it again with a jump box attached and met the same result. The computers freaking out from the low voltage during the starting attempts wouldn't allow me to put the truck in neutral to move it out of the lane of travel. A police officer called for the tow truck on rotation since I was stuck in a live travel lane. The truck was towed to the Dealer on 8/19/2024 after the service department had closed and still would not turn over when removed from the tow truck. There were no signs of any fluids leaking from the truck after the event........ The next day the Service Advisor called and advised there were only 3 codes stored related to low voltage. Truck is waiting for a tech to become available to further investigate.

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 3500. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the hood was raising up and down. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the contact was informed that it was a design flaw by the manufacturer. The contact was informed that there was no fix for the issue. The contact stated that the vehicle was not driven often; however, when the vehicle was driven it was normally a 600-mile trip. The contact was concerned that the hood would unlatch while driving. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 27,000.

My truck experienced a total transmission failure while at Highway Speed towing a 5th wheel camper on Interstate I95. This transmission failure is a known issue and has a TSB 21-002-23. A k1 clutch clip becomes dislodged and the transmission will not function. Being stranded and unable to move on a busy highway is unsafe and terrifying. Aisin Transmission and RAM are well aware of this failure however I was never notified about the potential failure nor has a recall been issued. The failure occurred instantly with no warning in a vehicle with 16,000 miles and less than 2 years old. My vehicle has been repaired and the failure was confirmed as the K1 clutch clip failure. There should be an immediate recall for this known failure to be repaired prior to being stranded on the side of the highway, 400 miles from home with my wife and kids. It's shameful RAM has ignored this problem!

The transmission wont shift gears. We were stranded at a campsite. The problem has been confirmed by Santa Rosa Ram. Inspection by RAM directly is unknown. Loud clanking noises were heard many days before the final failure.

While towing a camper 5 hours from home. Traveling approx 5-10 MPH in slow moving traffic the 2022 Ram 3500 HO with Aisin Transmission made a loud and sudden pop. It lost all forward power as if it went into neutral. Barely using momentum to limp the truck off the side of a busy highway during rush hour with my family on board.

Transmission had 2 loud clunk, while stopped, and shifting into drive, lost all forward gears. Reverse works. Truck has 17000 miles.

On June 5th, 2024 while pulling a travel trailer on vacation, we stopped for a short break and left the truck running. When we went to get back on the highway, I put the truck in gear and nothing happened. Truck would only shift into reverse with a violent bang. Would not go forward. Unhooked my trailer and shifted into REVERSE a few times and finally got the truck to inch forward at HIGH RPM. Towed to a Ram dealer and they confirmed a snap ring failure caused the forward clutches to go out. Truck is still awaiting repairs 445 miles from home.

The Deisel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), SUPPLY LINE (part #57008975AA) has been replaced on my truck 4 times in 113 k miles. It now needs replaced again. The last 2 times were less than 5000 miles each. It is a plastic line that runs from the DEF tank and passes nearby the exhaust filter which is very hot. A RAM dealer in Georgia told me they have sold/replaced many of these lines. When cracked, they leak DEF in large volumes on the ground which then becomes contaminated.

I was driving coming to a stop for a red light and it turns green. As I go to press on the gas my dashboard lights up with error codes stating a 4WD System error of some kind. As I go to press on the gas the truck loses power and acceleration and starts making a horrible clunking noise. I took it to the dealer because it seems like a transmission issue. This is a 2022 Ram 3500 with 9300 miles at time of failure. I would hate to see what happens if I was towing a large load to lose power all of a sudden risking my life and others around me. Based on what I have researched it seems like a K1 Snap Ring issue to the T. Waiting on the "official" diagnosis from the dealer.

When pulling onto the interstate on ramp (45 mph) the truck attempted to shift up when all transmission power failed. The engine ran fine, just no power. I was able to safely pull to the shoulder and park . s Shifting from drive to neutral to park and back to drive still did not resolve the issue. I put the truck in park and shut off the engine . The transmission fluid temp, color and level was ok. I restarted the truck and shifted to reverse with no problem then to neutral and drive. It felt that the transmission engaged and I slowly crept forward. I slowly accelerated and was able to resume speed. No subsequent loss of power has been encountered, BUT the truck now has slippage from 1st to 2nd gear and occasionally 3rd. Had I been on the interstate this has a potential for serious accident incident. This is the first time this has happened. I had bought the truck used and certified from the dealer in Pennsylvania. There is currently 28k miles on the truck. There were and still no warning or codes to indicate a problem This occurred [XXX] 2024. No dealer, tech or shop has looked at this issue.

My truck experienced the K1 snap ring failure at 3,600 miles.

This vehicle left me stranded due to Aisen transmission failure with only 2000 miles on the vehicle. Has been at dealer for 3 months awaiting rebuild due to faulty clip. Why is nothing being done? Why am I not getting a new transmission? or better yet forced buy back

Discovered that the passenger side seat belt warning chime does not operate when someone is sitting in the passenger side front seat. I contacted the manufacturer just now who told me no one will be in contact with me, they just take the information. I asked the value of their customer care and they responded I don’t know. A case number was assigned but again, I was informed no one will make contact. I would think this is a safety law violation especially since we live in California. I need help here please.

Transmission went out. Lost 1-4th gear. It was the K1 snap ring in the transmission. Lost power going up a mountain in a National Park exhaust brake either to slow vehicle. Check engine light came on

The dealer and manufacture have not been able to fix emissions issue. It has cause severe fuel saturation in oil and has cause severe motor damage. No one cares and they brush it off as no big deal.

My trucks transmission experienced a complete failure, it is currently at the dealership awaiting parts and repair The failure renders the truck without any forward power almost immediately with only reverse left functioning, we were fortunate that it broke down in a residential neighborhood and not the freeway. The truck was towed to the local dealership, they tore down the transmission and confirmed a K1 snap ring failure and that it would be covered under wtty. I got a malfunction indicator light a few days prior then a message on the dash "4 wheel drive system temporarily unavailable" about 10 miles before complete failure. CSN 71A appears to have been issued and sent to some truck owners to advise snap ring replacement as a preventative measure, however my truck was not included in the CSN campaign, not sure why

1, The Aisin AS68RC transmission failed. The dealership had to ship the defective complete back to Aisin . 2. On [XXX] with only 2,886K miles while on Interstate [XXX] in Boston Massachusetts . I just entered the highway and was getting into the middle lane getting up to high way speed. The Tachometer shot up in rpm’s and there was no more forward gear. I was doing about 50-60mph. I had to cost from the middle lane to the brake down lane with my 20’ trailer in tow in heavy traffic. Once in the brake down lane I was able to go in reverse but couldn’t go forward. Loud clunking when put into gear and trying to move forward. 3. The vehicle was towed to the dealership from [XXX] that night to Herb Chambers Millbury Ram and confirmed transmission failure. 4. Aisin sent a complete transmission assembly to the dealership for installation. So the dealership inspected it. 4. There were NO warning lights before transmission failure. I did notice the truck felt Rough over 40 mph before transmission failure since I picked it up brand new from the dealer. Absolutely NO warning light/ indicator prior to Transmission failure!!!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Concerned that my truck may be affected by the Aisin K1 snap ring failure problem currently being investigated by NHTSA. I have no way of knowing whether or not my transmission is reliable long term, nor can I prove to a future buyer that it is safe and reliable. Not only does this issue affect my trust in using the truck, but it also has a significant negative impact on the resale value of the truck. Buyers are aware that 2022 Aisin trucks have issues and this makes the vehicle harder to sell.

I am very concerned that my trucks Aisin transmission may fail while towing heavy loads at highway speeds as this seems to be an issue with my model year and month it was built.

Driving south on [XXX] just south of Greenville, SC. With no warning the truck wouldn't go, upon quickly diagnosing I determined I had no transmission. Luckily was able to make it to the emergency lane and come to a safe stop. Also was pulling a fifth wheel camper at the time.

Emissions system is performing DPF filter regeneration every 100-150 miles.

Sudden loss of forward gears. Failure happened on highway at highway speeds. Had to carefully maneuver the truck off the road. Failure in both towing and unloaded operation. Truck will not shift in or out of drive (1-4) but reverse is still functional. Diagnostic trouble code P0731-00 and P0734 "Gear 1 and 4 Shift Incorrect Ratio". Both the dealer and RAM confirm this transmission failure. RAM has realeased a TSB which covers this failure but hasn’t released a recall.

February 19,2024. Towing a bumper pull toy hauler approximately 10,000 pounds, just merged onto a two lane highway when the check engine light came on and truck jerked a couple times, I pulled to side of highway where there is not much of a shoulder. I placed it in park, sat a few seconds then into drive when I noticed no forward motion in drive. I turned truck off a few minutes, restarted, check engine light still on, no movement in drive mode. I did have reverse functioning. This was very dangerous situation, high speed two lane highway, small shoulder, many large RVs and 18 wheeler trucks flying by. 5 weeks truck is at dealer, they say it’s done, they attempt to bring it to me at the shop, then tell me check engine light on, throwing multiple codes. They still have truck, tell me they will find out issue asap.

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 3500. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH and towing an RV, the vehicle inadvertently lost motive power. The contact was able to pull to the shoulder of the roadway, where the failure persisted, after which the contact became aware that the vehicle was only able to shift into reverse. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the transmission. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to parts not being available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 17,000.

On [XXX] I was driving my newly purchased 2022 Ram 3500 on [XXX] near Mead, CO when my check engine light illuminated and I immediately lost forward driving gears. I was able to coast safely to the side of the highway. I purchased this truck new on [XXX] from Perkins Motors in Colorado Springs. After stopping on the side of [XXX], I attempted to continue forward but had no power. I placed the truck in reverse and felt a sudden jerk. I then placed the truck in park and shut it off. The truck had 1,043 miles on the odometer when the transmission failed. I waited on the side of the highway for 15 hours to be towed 110 miles to the Ram dealership closest to my home. My truck spent 5 weeks at the dealership waiting on parts. Colorado Springs Ram service department informed me that the snap ring in the K1 clutch kit had failed.

DEF fluid froze leaving crystals that obstructed computer reading of DEF tank. This would have forced vehicle into emergency 5 mile an hour limp mode. Taken to local Dodge/Ram dealer that had nearly THIRTY other diesel trucks with same problem ahead of me. Once repaired to OEM specs, the service manager stated it will happen again. Dodge/Ram acknowledges this has been an issue for years. In Alaska winters this situation could very well be life threatening!!

Truck lost all forward gears while driving down the highway, only had 6418 miles on it

HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT. I KNOW THEY HAD A RECALL ON THIS BEFORE. TRUCK IS DOWN AND IT WILL COST TO MUCH TO REPLACE FUEL SYSTEM

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 3500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the transmission suddenly downshifted, causing the vehicle to decelerate abruptly. Additionally, while driving the vehicle, the engine temperature gauge increased to high, with a burning plastic odor and smoke fumes entering the cabin of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and the PCM was reprogrammed, and the temperature sensor was replaced; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 32,000.

Truck has 61423 miles. Started to hear a slight grinding noise from front brakes 70 miles ago. Started to get worse. Suddenly pedal went to floor and lost all front brake pressure and rear brakes did about nothing to help stop. Limped truck back to my garage. Upon inspection, front left outer pad was completely gone. Caliper was directly making contact with rotor. Inner pad still has plenty of use left. Inner pad has the metal piece to make the noise to alert you that your pads need to be replaced. I can supply pictures of caliper missing 3/16" of material and remaining pad surface.

The transmission failed while driving in a remote area 600 mi from home. Check engine light came on. Truck was in the shop for over 50 days. The truck had less than 3,000 miles on it when the transmission failed.

I purchased a FACTORY Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring System for my fifth wheel. Factory TTMS system allows up to 5-6 different trailers per vehicle. TTMS allows owner to enter minimum PSI per trailer. The RAM factory system does not work as advertised. I paired wheel sensors to TTMS in vehicle and set minimum PSI to 100. When I shut vehicle off the preset reverts back to factory 50 PSI. Also TTMS recognizes 3 wheel sensors 50% of the time. The other 50% dashboard shows red lines instead of trailer tire pressure. I brought vehicle to dealership after creating a case file with Ram care #87574156. Case file was created due to numerous complaints of Ram HD forum 2019-2022 model years. Ram care notified dealer that no repair authorized without trailer being present. My Ram dealer parking lot is barely large enough for my Ram 3500. I notified Ram care and dealer that the issue was with vehicle software and not trailer sensors. After weeks of inaction from Ram care I was notified that the dealer must remove aftermarket trailer tire pressure monitoring system at my expense (6 hours labor) and only then could they repair system. I attempted to explain that I paid $500 for the FACTORY system but Nikkita from Ram care would not listen. Ram care has my VIN they easily check my vehicle options but their priority was to close case file and hope I would go away quietly. Ran care repeatedly closed my file claiming they couldnt contact me. All but three of my calls went to voicemail. I called Ram care and left messages on the following dates: 10/31/23 1703 hours, 11/3/23 1427 hours, 11/7 1510 hours, 11/24/23 1115 hours, 11/27/23 1255 hours, 11/29/23 0803, 0839 and 1540 hours, 12/4/23 1232 and 1242 hours. A follow up email was sent on 12/4/23 at 1110 hours stating Ram care was closing my case due to unsuccessful attempts to reach me. At 1258 hours on the same date I received an email stating the dealer must remove my aftermarket TTMS (emails attached)

Driving vehicle and lost power went into limp mode had no gears forward Truck would not go over 1500 rpm Check engine light came on Kept saying 4 wheel drive not available but was in 2 wheel drive Hear clunk when shifting but no gears respond! Occurred when driving definitely a safety issue

-What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? A: Transmission -How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? A: I was never contacted by RAM regarding the possibility of a catastrophic power loss c/o transmission failure for my RAM truck. While driving E/B on Interstate 15 in the # 2 lane at highway speeds and going up a grade, the vehicle suffered complete forward momentum loss and only engine revving was occurring, while losing forward momentum & speed. I had to negotiate several, extremely busy/heavy traffic tractor-trailer filled traffic lanes to make it to the emergency shoulder of the roadway before losing all forward momentum and miraculously did not have a collision with high-speed heavy traffic. -Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? A: I took my RAM to a nearby dealership. Based upon my description of the event and their subsequent vehicle inspection it was revealed and confirmed that somehow my RAM was erroneously, or purposely circumvented from the current transmission failure recall. The dealership discovered the issue with my transmission failure was identical to an in-progress NHTSA bulletin: 71A with TSB 21-00-2-23 (Attached PDF) and subsequently performed the repair free of charge. -Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? A: No, it was inspected and serviced by only by an authorized dealership and none of the above. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? A: Yes, the lights activated instantly/simultaneously as the failure was in-progress, in heavy traffic on the interstate.

My Ram 2022 3500 truck has18,888 miles and the transmission has to be replaced. I had it in for a recall and asked them to check the transmission for shifting issues. I was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. I pull a 38 foot Fifth Wheel approximately 15 thousand pounds. If the transmission would have failed on the road it could be catastrophic. Dodge is replacing the transmission with the same one with no fix for the problem that inherently causes the failure which has been many. The repair order# is 459891. The part # is R8447797AA. I was given a case # by Ram Care 87401824. I feel stuck spending 100K for a new truck and don’t feel safe putting back on the road risking the safety of my family and others. I have previously had a Commercial Drivers License and have driven trucks for over 40 years. Transmission failure at high speed can be catastrophic.

Received a recall from FCA regarding exhaust module and sensor not installed. They offered a 12 month warranty. But damage to diesel exhaust filter has already happened. Owners should be given a lifetime warranty. This was an expensive truck and a replacement filter is $8,000 which I will be on hook for after my warranty is over. Recall Y43

I am a commercial driver for Hibbs Haulers and was driving the 2022 Ram 3500 DRW 4X4 company truck. Production month was September 2022. After driving at a slow speed in heavy traffic the truck felt like it fell out of drive and into neutral. I was able to move slowly but transmission temp started to climb into 220 plus degrees and a temperature warning came on for the transmission so I pulled onto the shoulder. I was able to use reverse but I did not have gears 1 through 4. A MIL code P0731 came on during this incident.

My transmission failed while driving in the mountains. I have reverse . And 5th gear. The check engine light came on and a message on the dash stated that the 4 wheel drive was temporarily not available. It has since been taken to the dealer . As it has failed .and is nolonger drivable

Total transmission failure resulting in sudden loss of forward gears. Cruise control and all other drivers assist aides disabled and loss of any forward acceleration while driving highway speeds. Unable to drive forward at all. Known manufacturer issue. No prior warning or indicator lights until total failure. Problem confirmed by dealer. Family endangered when truck traveling on multi lane highway at a speed limit of 70mph suddenly turned off cruise control and slowed to a halt with no ability to accelerate or move forward.

My 2022 Ram 3500 Limited Longhorn Dually truck has had the transmission fail at 5300 miles. Was stranded along with my 5th wheel trailer and transmission only works in reverse. This is a well know problem with hundreds if not thousands of failures with the Aisin Transmission. Ram has issued a service bulletin 21-002-23, Snap Ring K-1 Failure in January 2023, but this needs to be a safety recall due to on Highway instances of vehicles being stuck on the highway with truck unable to move and will cause accidents. Owners are waiting months for repairs. These trucks are being sold to the public knowing there is a potential problem for trucks produced in 2022 with the Aisin Transmission.

My truck was at the dealership May 30th for repairs. I asked that recall 22V-835 be repaired. They were unable to complete the repair & advised FCA only allows the dealership to order QTY 2 of the parts needed for the repair per week. Yet recall states "parts available". Had my truck back at the dealership Aug 14 for a DEF system issue. They informed me I'd also have recall 23V-060 repaired. Aug 18, dealer advised all parts were in. Dropped off my truck at 8am Aug 22 for repairs. 3pm Aug 23, my truck recall was still not fixed due to part not arriving. I demanded my truck immediately because I was called into work out of state & had to leave. Dealership advised they are not allowed to let the vehicle leave with it unrepaired. I demanded a 1 ton pickup with gooseneck towing capability or my truck immediately. As of Aug 26, Dealership hasn't called with my parts. If "parts are available", why can't my dealership get them? How long am I ro wait? If my vehicle burns to the ground & my house with it, who is liable?

I have had two catastrophic failures of the Clutch Snap Ring that the first time left me and my children stranded on a highway 800 miles from home and took 31 days to repair. The second failure was while driving and almost caused me to be hit because of the sudden loss of power. This is a known failure that is reported in Service Bulletin (21-002-23) filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The original dealer reported he had seen 3 cases of these failures and the second dealer has told me he has 4 trucks waiting for this repair. It is a major safety issue that is known but not being resolved.

Truck lost power and went into "limp" mode on Interstate 65 near Nashville on 7-28. warning came on stating 4wheel drive is unavailable even though it was not being used. It also stated the number 1 gear was miss aligned. this took place at 12:30 PM on a busy highway, a tow truck toed my pickup but had to leave my 2020 Montana camper on the side of the highway.

I am still waiting for results in the meantime have spent 5000.00+ on rental and towing to get my camper to my worksite in Iowa. warning message did not appear until the vehicle lost power. no warning to move to the side of the road.

Driving on the freeway towing an empty trailer, when without any incident the check engine light came on. As I was exiting the freeway, I had what felt like no forward drive. I was able to coast off the exit and pull over. I found that I had reverse but forward was very weak. I was able to pull the truck and trailer a couple hundred feet ahead to safety in a large parking lot, then called the tow truck. I was able to have a friend meet me and take the trailer.

The transmission failed while pulling my 5th wheel RV trailer. It is currently at a Ram dealership waiting to be repaired. It failed going up a hill on a two lane road without a shoulder forcing me to stop in my lane 3/4 the way up a country road. I was forced to put my parking brake on and emergency flashers until the sheriff’s car arrived 10 minutes later. This put my families safety and others as the traffic went around me and others cresting the blind hill in front of me. The dealer has confirmed that it is a failed transmission and it is an ongoing issue for these trucks. I’m assuming that the manufacturer has inspected these ongoing issues with this transmission. A warning light did come on at the moment the transmission failed. Other then that no warning.

On 7/22/23 we were driving out to a trail head in the Grand Staircase-Escalante on a dirt/gravel road over a washboard at the time of failure. We were about 2-3 miles in on a 14 mile journey. It was 111 degrees and we were possibly going to have no cell service soon. Suddenly the 4WD system Temporary unavailable appears on the screen. Then I was able to push the 2wd button and it made a very load clunking sound. I was able to turn the truck around and barely got the truck up to 45 mph back to where we were staying. When we came to a stop the truck would rev and barley move. The check engine light came on with P0732-00 and P0731-00. It had failure to the transmission to the K1 Clutch Snap Ring (Ram has known about this and issued a service bulletin on 1/11/23 to all their dealers) I feel our safety was put at risk due to the temperature, possible no cell phone service and Ram has known about the problem but hasn't warned their customers. The truck was finally towed on 7/24/23 around 3 pm from Page, AZ to Flagstaff, AZ to Planet Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. They confirmed on 7/27/23 that the K1 Clutch Snap Ring had failed in the transmission. The truck was inspected by Ram. Ram roadside, Ram customer service, Planet Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, AAA and Geico were all notified. No warning lamps or messages appeared until failure. Ram has known about this problem with the 2022 - 2023 Ram 3500 4500 5500 with the Aisin transmission. I purchased this truck so we wouldn't have problems on our vacation. We were left stranded in Page, AZ with our 5th wheel trailer. No help from Ram to get my family and our trailer back to Reno, NV. The dealership and Ram never even responded to any of my calls until Wednesday 7/26/23. We had to rent a truck in Salt Lake City, UT after driving 800 miles round trip. We need to still get our truck back and the rental from Enterprise Truck, they will not allow us to have a one-way rental. As of now we have no update of when the truck will be ready

This is regarding safety recall 13A/NHTSA 23V-060 - possible fire risk related to the air intake grid heater relay. This recall was issued in February 2023 and RAM/FCA has not fixed it yet. They "SAY" the part is available but it's really not as the distribution of the parts has been unacceptably slow. I am currently on the waiting list at 2 different dealerships and it might take another 6 months according to my regular dealership. Given the serious nature of the risk (fire), this is ridiculous. RAM also blithely states that the vehicle should be parked outside away from other structures. Is there anything you can do to expedite the repairs for all of us who are waiting? Thank you.

Vehicle shut down in the middle of a busy road would not go forward reverse dead in the water.. had to truck shut truck plumb down. Then finally got the truck to move. Took it into the dealership told me to transmission was completely gone had just over 2,000 miles on it. If I would have been pulling a heavy load this could have been a very deadly situation.

Transmission K1 snap ring failure. Left me stranded on busy road unable to move truck.Dealer has diagnost it. No warnings, just failed.

Trailer TPMS does not work. This is a widespread issue on Internet forums with the 2022 RAM specifically and RAM refuses to address the issue. The trailer TPMS will lose configuration without warning and stop monitoring tire pressure. The only workaround I’ve found is to repeatedly switch the trailer configuration within the infotainment until it happens to work properly. Sometimes it works immediately, sometimes it’ll take a couple minutes of switching settings. TPMS that cannot be relied on is a safety issue.

Aisin transmission failed at 9800 miles. Faulty K1 snap ring failed and disabled gears 1-4. This resulted in truck freewheeling down hill on forest service road. No indication or warning of any problem prior to truck producing loud bang and losing forward control. This has been a known defect since late 2022 and Stellanis has not reached out to current owners with any warning or resolutions. Truck /transmission is at Ram dealer with verified K1ring failure.

The transmission failed. I was towing our bumper pull trailer on a narrow country, curvy road on the way to a National Park Campground and the truck failed. We are very lucky this didn't result in an accident. There was a loud clunk from underneath the truck, then a myriad of warning lights and the truck would not go forward. The truck had just slightly over 12,000 miles. The dealership has determined the transmission did fail and has ordered a transmission clutch kit. There were no warning signs prior this incident

The transmission failed AT SPEED, with only 2,000 miles on the vehicle since purchased NEW, while TOWING >10,000 lbs 40 ft travel trailer. These trucks are built to tow, you don’t own 1-ton trucks without the intent to tow a good bit of weight. As per the research gathered by owner community of Ram HD owners, this issue is widespread on 2022-2023 Ram HD trucks with High Output motor paired with Aisin transmission. Problem is known by Ram, no warning to owners, hundreds of transmissions on failing during use. Vehicle is available for inspection if needed. Complete transmission failure in traffic while towing GCVW ~18,000 posed high risk of accident between our vehicle and surrounding traffic. Fortunately we were in right hand lane and able to move to shoulder fairly quickly. Problem reproduced hundreds of times in the field, and widely known (reference https://www.tsbsearch.com/RAM/21-002-23). This however does not warn of the extreme nature of these failures that are in almost every case when under use.. transmission are blowing up under heavy tows. No warning lamps prior to failure, vehicle becomes completely inoperable once it fails. No data available to “know if affected” beyond manufacturing date. Entire Ram 3500 “High Output” community on high alert to their “next failure”

Put vehicle in 4wd, to cross very loose gravel section of road, returned it to 2wd, drove approximately 10 additional miles, screen display "4wd system temporarily unavailable".

Transmission failure, would not go into gear, heard loud banging under the truck

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 3500. The contact stated that while hauling a 14,000 lbs. load at approximately 70 MPH, there was a loud explosion underneath the vehicle. The vehicle suddenly came to a halt as if the transmission had failed. The vehicle was hesitating while shifting gear, especially while switching lanes. The contact was able to coast to the side of the roadway and had the vehicle towed to the dealer. The dealer informed the contact that the K1 clutch pack had failed. The contact related the failure to NHTSA ID Number: 21-002-23 (Power Train, Exterior Lighting) however, the dealer had not checked the K2 portion of the repair which implied that the vehicle may not have had a complete repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 20,667.

While driving my new Ram truck towing our camper on I 95 around the DC area, I heard and felt a pop noise and our transmission failed. My truck only has 3000 miles on it. I’m discovering that Ram is aware of this issue and won’t make it a recall.

Without warning the transmission failed. Along with loss of power, when the tranny failed, the ability to use the exhaust brake also fails. The ability to manually downshift fails. I was on steep winding roads in North Idaho (Elk River) when this occurred with three passengers aboard. Once I was able to stop, I was on a steep uphill grade with no forward gears or shoulder to pull over on. I had to coast in neutral back down the mountain to an appropriate site to get off the road. All of this with no forward or reverse gears. The vehicle was towed to a dealership where it was determined to have the K-1 snap ring failure in the Aisin transmission. This problem is common enough that parts to repair the transmission are on back order with no definitive eta available.

This is a new vehicle with 747 miles on the odometer. A critical transmission failure occured while towing in traffic. We lost all ability to move forward. A Ram dealer has the truck now and is reporting it is the Aisin transmission that failed. An internal snap ring is the issue. They also told us this problem is happening to hundreds of customers across the country

On our 1st day of our 10 day vacation heading East on Hwy 26 to Crescent, OR. At Government Camp going up in elevation, our 2022 Dodge Ram Diesal 3500 4x4, stopped going. We were pulling a 32' 5th wheel at about 14,000 #. We pulled off the road and put it into park, let it sit then tried to put it into drive again and it would not go. The transmission rattled and made all kinds of noise. THERE WERE NO INDICATIONS ON THE DASH OF ANY ISSUES! We put it into park and called 911 to assist in a tow truck. We had to wait for about 1 1/2 hours for the truck. An officer came up behind the trailer as we were on a curve and blindspot. We were on the white line!!!!!!! The tow truck had to pull us (because of the 5th wheel) to the snow park parking lot. Tow truck driver had to line us up then we had to unhook the trailer so he could take it to a Dodge Dealer. We spent the night in the trailer until the next day when we had to hire another tow truck from where we lived to come pick us up and take us back home. This excursion set us up for 2 individual companies, ugh! the 1st one only went back to Boring, OR and the truck sat there until the next day to be taken to Grasham Dodge. Gresham did not have the manpower to assess the situation and or fix the problem so from Gresham Dodge had to take it to Dick Hannah in Vancouver, WA only to then be taken across the street to Dick Hannah Jeep in the overflow area. Not secured and we found the passenger window open when we went to get the rest of our stuff. Have a service team manager, Austin, from Dick Hannah CJDR to have contact with regarding our truck. I heard there is no recall on the transmissions yet but from going on to the forums and seeing all of the other Dodge Ram owners, there should be. All of this should be completely covered by Dodge even the towing as if this had not occurred, we wouldn't be in debt of $4,566.53. We lost our first vacation and probably for the rest of the summer as we had numerous ones set up. Thank you

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 3500. The contact stated while driving approximately 42 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the snap ring had detached. The vehicle was not repaired due to parts being on backorder. The manufacturer was contacted but no additional assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 10,562.

Truck fails to properly accelerate when pulling out into traffic. There is a massive delay from pedal push to the truck moving. It is such a common issue there are devices that go between the pedal and computer to solve it. It voids the warranty though. I have almost been hit 4 times due the acceleration hesitation.

Brand new 2022 ram 3500 dually, 2300 miles 330 into towing trailer 18k trailer transmission blew. Loud clunk will only move in reverse. Left me and family stranded on side of busy freeway. No tow truck could handle truck and trailer.

K1 snap ring failure in the transmission. Lost gears 1-4. Truck was stuck in the middle of the road unable to move, blocking traffic and causing safety concerns. Vehicle is currently at the dealer awaiting replacement parts. There was no warning. The check engine light and service 4wd light came on as soon as the failure occurred.

Transmission failure at 2145miles while driving with check engine light truck inspected by ram dealer service and confirmed that it was the transmission that failed and they had multiple Vehicles with the same issue in the 2022 model

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 3500. The contact stated that after he purchased the vehicle, he was unable to retrieve the vehicle. The contact stated that he was then informed of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V06000 (Electrical System) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the issue and provided a case number. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

The brake and accelerator pedals are not aligned well. It is very easy for your foot to slip between the two when moving from the accelerator to the brake. The offset heights and distance of travel result in your foot slipping in-between them. This prevents the vehicle from stopping and can cause an accident. It seems like the accelerator pedal should be further forward than the brake pedal. I don't have this issue with any other vehicles I have driven. I'm 6' with a size 11 boot. My entire boot slips between these pedals easily.

RAM 13A Recall. Due to the fire risk, I was unable to park my truck at work. I ordered the parts from a RAM Dealer and installed following the instructions in the 13A Recall provided by NHTSA (https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2023/RCRIT-23V060-7126.pdf). I submitted a request for re-imbursement to the manufacturer showing pictures of the part being replaced, and a copy of the parts invoiced. The Manufacter has refused to re-imburse the replacement cost.

I have contacted Stellantis several times and was assigned case number 86112892 and was told someone would contact me within 24-48 hours, but no one has contacted me since I called on May 8, 2023. I can't park or drive this vehicle anywhere without causing possible damage to someone's personal property or my own and I only have this vehicle to drive.

hello, on the truck, a review was opened, they took the truck to the dealership, they didn’t even give us anything in return, since they were in california themselves from new york for another 2 weeks, they waited in line, they said to replace the transmission and something light to do, more than a month has passed, the costs will grow hotel trailer work we don’t know what to do, they don’t pick up the phone by the truck, they take 80 thousand each and the attitude is terrible

I parked the truck in my driver, turned it off and seen smoke under the hood. Opened the hood and there was a fire next to what I believe is a coil pak. Tried to put it out with a fire extinguisher but it didn't help. It then engulfed into flames, blowing air bags, and busting out windows.

The contact stated that he stopped at a service station to refuel the vehicle however, after the vehicle was refueled, he depressed the brake pedal and restarted the vehicle. The contact then stated that when he shifted in the drive position, he heard a loud bang sound and then depressed the accelerator pedal however, the vehicle failed to increase speed. The check engine warning light illuminated. Despite the failure, the contact proceeded to drive the vehicle at slow speeds when smoke appeared from underneath the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the VIN was not included in a recall and provided a case number. The failure mileage was approximately 16,000.

At 2,702 miles on the odometer. Vehicle lost all forward gears while driving. No indication of problem before catastrophic transmission failure. Vehicle has been inspected by dealer and transmission failure has been confirmed. Dealer states failure is related to Ram TSB 21-002-23 SUBJECT: K1 Clutch Snap Ring Repair OVERVIEW: This bulletin involves replacing the K1 clutch drum snap ring and possibly the K1 input shaft drum sub-assembly.

I PURCHASED THIS 2022 RAM 3500 MENTIONED ABOVE WITH 10 MILES ON IT. I DROVE IT 159 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT COMPLETELY OUT AND WOULD NOT MOVE. THE DEALERSHIP I TOOK IT TO MENTIONED THEY HAD TWO OTHER TRUCKS THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM THAT'S BEEN THERE FOR OVER A MONTH... AND DIDN'T HAVE ANY TIMEFRAME ON WHEN IT COULD BE FIXED OR A RESOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM. I'M HOPING THERE'S A LEMON LAW I CAN ADDRESS AND WILL HAVE TO BE ON THE HUNT FOR A NEW TRUCK ONCE AGAIN, AS IT'S PART OF MY LIVELIHOOD! IS THERE ANYWAY THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM OR REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. PLEASE ADVISE ON THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION I SHOULD TAKE. THANK YOU

On 4/6/2023 at around 3:15 PM, our 2022 Ram 3500 HO 6.7 Cummins coupled with the Aisin AS69RC Transmission which failed at between 40 to 50 MPH while towing a 40' travel trailer. It was sudden when we heard two very loud clunks with jerking that coincided with each. Fortunately I was able to quickly pull onto a wide area of the shoulder from the center lane and not block or impact traffic. This could have had a high impact on traffic and the safety of others during this incident. We do not know how it could have impacted vehicle control. All forward gears were inoperative after the failure. We were stranded there for more than 3 hours waiting for two wreckers. One for the truck and one for the trailer. This was more than just an inconvenience and huge added expense that flowed into the following day when you realize what technology you rely on built into the truck. We use both vehicles for working remotely for long periods of time in a large 4 state area on the west coast. The longer this takes to remedy, impacts our ability to use the trailer. The biggest concern was the impact to our safety and to the public had we not been able to make it to the shoulder of the freeway. Truck has been inspected by a Ram Dealer. They have indicated that parts have been ordered. Ram Care has been contacted twice and a case good case number (85915865) has been created. We know of more than 160 other owners with the same story of the transmission failure with and without towing. Some have not made it home from the purchase of their vehicle. There is a group on Facebook that is capturing incidences of this with other Ram HO-6.7 Cummins-Aisin AS69RC transmission trucks. Dealer indicated they already have another vehicle on the lot (two weeks) with the same issue. There was zero warning. Failure was instantaneous.

Transmission failure while towing a travel trailer on a busy street on a slight incline. While traveling about 45 mph felt a jolt and truck lost power and would not accelerate. Felt like truck was in neutral. Truck would not engage Drive and was completely disabled in the number one lane. Tried to re engage the transmission and had success at engaging a higher gear with slow speed and high RPMs causing the engine and transmission to overheat and possibly start a fire. Safely moved across lanes to shoulder and stopped. The street is 55mph. Cars were slamming on their brakes to avoid colliding into my truck or trailer. This happened on March 30, 2023 and has been at the dealership for repairs since and has not been even inspected yet yet. No indicator or warning lamps prior to failure.

Bought 1/16/23, Failed 4/1/23 Transmission failed at 1,421mi. While towing a light trailer utilizing the tow/haul mode through the mountains of VA traffic. Stepped on the fuel pedal and an audible “Clunk” was heard. Immediately after, we lost all forward momentum and we’re able to slowly creep off the highway. Safety of all was put at risk as a dead vehicle was now blocking traffic on the highway. Check “engine” lamp came on immediately after audible sound. Gears 1-4 were inoperable with only 5-6 and reverse functioning. After further review, a TSB was published and sent to dealerships 1/11/23 stating the potential issue of a faulty part within the transmission of 2022 Ram 3500 6.7L models.

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 3500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed and the RPM became elevated; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate. The contact stated that the cruise control and tow haul mode failed to operate as needed. 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 9,000.

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 3500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the transmission inadvertently shifted to neutral, and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was turned off and restarted; however, the contact stated he had to shift into 4WD for the vehicle to operate as needed. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it remained awaiting diagnostic tests and repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The approximate failure mileage was 28,000.

Transmission failed on road while driving and pulling up to a stop light. There were no warning lights prior to fault. RAM is currently looking for a transmission, but have said it could be several months. This is a wide spread problem with RAM 3500's with this transmission. It sounds like RAM has been trying to down play the problem and cover it up. Checking the RAM forums this if wife does with thousands of veggies waiting for me transmission. RAM continues to build new trucks, rather than divert transmissions from the factory to replace failed transmission that are in the dealer repair centers.

Sudden loss of all forward movement. Occurred without warning. I was towing a 40 foot camper on a very busy highway. This has been discussed on forums relating to vehicles with the AISIN transmission. The problem appears to be an internal component breakage in the transmission. The only message that appeared is the 4 wheel drive was inoperative. I was fortunate and was able to maneuver to the side of the highway.

I was pulling into a parking lot when my transmission failed and was only able to go in reverse. This was from a main road and the truck went from drivable to undriveable with no prior notice or issue. The truck was towed by Ram Roadside assistance to the nearest Ram dealer and the dealer confirmed that the transmission failed. They removed the transmission and diagnosed the issue as follows: The K1 clutch snap ring has failed. The part is on national backorder and your vehicle is #361 on the list of applicable trucks with a similar issue. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms prior to the transmission failure.

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 3500. The contact heard on the news that similar vehicles were included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V060000 (Electrical System). The local dealer was contacted and confirmed the recall; however, the parts to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue but offered no assistance. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

2022 RAM 3500 6.7L H/O AISIN transmission failed going down the road. Very bad

Transmission quit working without notice and left me stranded in the roadway with my children in the vehicle. The dealership will not replace with a new transmission because of problems with the new same transmission, instead requesting to rebuild with some updated parts. As far as I know the dealership is the only place to check the issue. Check engine light illuminated only once the transmission stopped working.

Transmission failed at stop light, No power to move forward for 1-2 minutes, when it moved it was jerky and erratic. Drove approximately 1 mile to RAM dealership for diagnostic and service. After it was parked it would no longer drive forward.

The K1 clutch snap ring failed causing a sudden loss of all forward motion while towing. Vehicle is currently at dealership service center. The loss of all forward motion caused a breakdown while towing, placing me and my family at risk while stranded and blocking road. With the vehicle (and towed fifth wheel) blocking the road, it also put other drivers at risk of crash. The problem has been reproduced and confirmed by dealer. The component has not been inspected to my knowledge. Several seconds before the losing forward motion I saw the MIL lamp come on along with message of "4 wheel drive not available". It also dropped me out of tow/haul mode, I believe.

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 3500. The contact received notification of the NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V060000 (Electrical System) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The local dealer was notified of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the part was not yet available. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

K1 snap ring failure at 2,950 miles. Vehicle currently in dealer possession. Available for inspection. Safety risk as vehicle was towing during failure causing loss of forward gears, and potential loss of control of vehicle being towed. Especially hazardous to other unsuspecting motorists around vehicle when loss of forward gears happened traveling on highway. Dealer has completed diagnostic. States clutch and other components were destroyed at time of failure. Vehicle has not gone under any inspection other than dealer. No prior warnings, or symptoms to indicate such a failure was to occur.

My vehicle suffered a complete transmission failure without any warning signs. Transmission completely stoppped working in Downtown Atlanta during rush hour traffic leaving me stranded in middle of 7 lanes of traffic. Vehicle was towed to dealer and diagnosed failure was due to failed snap ring in transmission. It is a known problem in 22'-23' model year Ram 3500, 4500, 5500 trucks. Ram calls it the K1 snap ring TSB. reference attached spreadsheet. Over app. 40 day period 127 trucks have all been confirmed to have same exact issue. Ram has limited supply of repair parts available. Average time to get customers truck back on the road is currently averaging 37 days. my dealer told me to figure 2-3 months of down time. I was told service centers can only order 1 K1 TSB Parts kits every 7 days and they take roughly a month to receive. I was told there are 4 truck in his service center ahead of mine that still need same parts kits ordered. I have been trying for 7 days now (multiple times a day) to get a case agent from Ram customer care to return my calls. Still have not received a return phone call.

The contact's son owns a 2022 Ram 3500. The contact stated while her son was driving at highway speeds, an abnormal noise started coming from the vehicle, and the vehicle lost motive power and stalled without warning. Due to the failure, the vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed with transmission failure. The vehicle remained in the dealer's possession for two months before the repair was completed. Soon after the vehicle was returned, the failure recurred while driving at highway speeds. The vehicle was towed to an unknown dealer where it remained. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 5,000.

Transmission damaged on a brand new truck this is my 2nd truck this happens to they are both at the dealer with a transmission damage dealer is saying parts are in backorder and they have me without a worktruck 2 brand new truck. Dealer have had my truck for over 30 days since Feb 02 23

TRANSMISSION FAILURE FAILED ON THE HIGHWAY VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DELAER WHERE PROBLEM WAS CONFIRMED NO WARNING LIGHTS UNTIL TRANSMISSION FAILED. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN FAILED.

I was pulling our camper from Southern Wisconsin to North Central Oregon for work. While driving through a snow storm, in stop and go traffic outside of Minneapolis, I felt and heard a loud clunk. Vehicle lost gears 1-4, gears 5,6, and reverse were all that were available. It was a dangerous situation due to being stranded in the left lane on I-94 during snow storm with white out conditions. This could have been even worse had the transmission failed while going over the mountains to Oregon. Transmission failed at 9117 miles on 01/03/2023. Expected parts for repair estimated to be 03/22/2023. This is a much bigger problem than is being represented on here with reports. My truck is listed on a spread sheet put together by a fellow member of a Ram truck Facebook group that is tracking these failures. My truck was the third added to the list on 01/05/2023. There are now over 90 trucks on the spreadsheet since then. See spreadsheet attached. Link to living document is: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Xg18aVlccuIj0u6cV4dmxSg0JCR8BoAduc8D8kZoFA0/edit.

The transmission lost gears 1 through 4 on the freeway in traffic. We were going approximately 25mph in the fast lane when it happened. We were lucky enough to have enough speed to make it to the shoulder, but were left stranded on the shoulder. Truck is at dealer needing a transmission replacement that can't be ordered at this time.

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 3500. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH and towing a 40-ft trailer ascending a mountain, a loud clunking noise was coming from the vehicle. The contact stated that the vehicle decelerated. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. The vehicle was driven very slowly to the local dealer who diagnosed that the transmission was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage 800.

I lost the transmission in my truck. Lost 1st thru 4th gears . I was in reverse and my truck made a loud clunk/bang the dash stated 4wheel drive unavailable. The engine light came on and it went into limp mode. 40mph top speed. I got it to the dealer on 12\23\22 and the truck has been there since. Ram is now claiming no eta of any sort and there is an engineering problem with the transmission. I worry that someone could get injured if the transmission fails at speed of in traffic. Please look into this before someone gets hurt.

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 3500. The contact stated that the vehicle was purchased brand new. The contact stated while driving at various speeds after the dealer had delivered the vehicle to him, he felt a significant buzzing sensation. The contact stated that the sensation was extremely strong and had caused him and his friend who was occupying the front passenger seat to have headaches. The vehicle was taken to the dealer the next day. The dealer diagnosed that the vehicle was experiencing an extremely High Electric Magnetic Frequency. The dealer took the dash apart and wrapped it in shielding foil to temper the radiation. However, the failure persisted. Chrysler Regional Representative informed the contact that he could continue to drive the vehicle as it was still performing as designed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 10.

I was driving on the interstate and new truck with 170 miles on it just made 2 loud noises and then would not go over 10 miles an hour, Which I think is very dangerous. Now its been at the service station for Ram for a month and the mechanic said this was his 6th truck with under 600 miles with the same problem. And Ram is not doig much to assist me.

While traveling approximately 15 miles per hour transmission locked-up in the middle of the road and would not move. Dash lit-up with check engine lights. Truck was towed to dealership where it was determined that a new transmission was needed and ordered. As of today, the truck has been at the dealership for repair for just under 40 days.

Backed out of a parking spot onto a busy road, put the truck in drive and nothing. Transmission failure. ME and my daughter were stuck in the middle of the road and truck would only go in reverse. Had to reverse a u-turn in middle of road and back into parking spot. Dealer confirmed a failure in the transmission and is repairing/ replacing. Upon fruther investigation into this issue online there is a list of truck that this is happening to. Check engine light also came on when vehical would not move.

On 4 different occasions when accelerating from a stop when we proceed forward slowly vehicle will rev up to 4500 RPM without any forward movement. After coasting to side of road we put vehicle in park and after a few minutes we put it in drive and it will run fine. We have not had any code lights appear or warning signs appear.

We were traveling westbound on the interstate I-10 towards Los Angeles California on Nov 13/22 near Cabazon CA in my 2022 Ram 3500, SRW, 6.7 HO with the Aisin transmission. It was rush hour stop-and-go traffic. I was traveling at a speed of approximately 35mph when a large bang came from under the vehicle. There was an immediate and complete power loss and we had to coast to the shoulder of the road and try to avoid being struck by traffic. Once on the shoulder, I had got out and checked under the vehicle. There was nothing that I could see that was wrong. There was a check engine light that went on. Using a jobber OB2 scanner, codes P0731 (Gear 1 incorrect ratio) and P0732 (Gear 2 incorrect ratio) were present. The truck was towed to the Redlands CDJR dealer for service with only 6700 miles on the odometer. It turned out to require a complete new Aisin transmission. The repair took a month to complete and looks to have been caused by a defective snap ring as per service bulletin 21-002-23 (K1 clutch drum snap ring and K1 input shaft drum sub assembly) although the Redlands CDJR dealer or FCA will not confirm. The bulletin states the affected vehicles are the 2022-23 Ram 3500 pickup, 3500 cab and chassis, and 4500/5500 Cab Chassis trucks. Due to the immediate power loss, with zero warning, we were just able to get to the shoulder of the road and could have easily caused a massive pile up and possible deaths due to the failure. FCA refuses to inspect or confirm that the new transmission (68498560AB) installed in my truck addresses the 21-002-23 service bulletin and said I would need to pay out of pocket for the inspection to occur at a dealer. There are numerous documented cases of newly installed transmissions failing shortly after being "repaired". I believe it would be in the publics best interest that FCA/RAM issue a recall on the effected vehicles as these vehicles are typically used for emergency, commercial and towing application's.

While driving the transmission went out, not being able to engage or use any forward moving gears.

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 3500. The contact stated while driving at approximately 70 MPH the ABS (Anti Lock Brake System) warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that as he slowed to exit the highway he depressed the brake pedal which went to the floorboard. The contact stated that he had no brakes and was only able to stop the vehicle using the brakes on the trailer he was towing. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, who diagnosed and determined that the rear brake fluid line had become disconnected and that brake fluid had run out of the system which is why he had no brakes. The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that the brakes failed again while he was on the highway, and again he had to use the trailer brakes to stop the vehicle from running into the back of another vehicle that was ahead of him. The contact stated that he saw the ABS light illuminated and he had also noticed smoke coming from under the vehicle. When the contact had pulled off the highway, he stated that he saw flames issuing from the rear wheel wells. The contact was able to use an onboard fire extinguisher, however, the flames were not controlled. The contact stated that the police and fire department had arrived on the scene and that the flames were put out using water. The contact was not aware if the police or fire department had written any reports. The vehicle was towed back to the same dealer. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 37,000.

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 3500. The contact stated while depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle made an abnormal sound. Additionally, the vehicle occasionally would not start as needed. The fault code: P0731 (Gear 1 Incorrect Ratio) was retrieved. The vehicle was towed to a dealer, where it was diagnosed with transmission failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 26,000.

The transmission suddenly lost all forward gears while towing 3 utv on a trailer.

DEF warning: see dealer. 125 miles until 5mph max speed. Happened 250 miles to nearest dealer during winter storm in SD and NE. Stranded at night, in storm, in freezing conditions, without available help. This is a potentially fatal situation due to failure of new vehicle despite preparation per vehicle manual. DEF tank 2/3 full, DPF gauge at 0. Eventually towed 135 miles to dealer to have DEF code reset. This is dangerous and very common.

This vehicle went back to the dealer numerous times and ultimately was surrendered to Chrysler under lemon law. It had ABS braking issues along with trailer brake problems. At about 8000 miles it started having ABS alarms which cause a bunch of other issues that I feel is a serious safety problem. When the ABS system malfunctions it causes the traction control,4 wheel drive, and trailer brake systems to fail as well. I never brought the vehicle home after the last incident in September 2022 as I felt it was totally unsafe to drive especially with the trailer attached.

The vehicle had been parked in the street for several hours. I started the vehicle in order to back it into my driveway for the night and then turned it off (total run time for the operation was most likely under a minute from the time the engine was started until it was shut down). The temperature was relatively cool and I did have to wait for the grid heater to cycle before the engine started. I did not notice any signs, warnings, safety indicators, or dash lights to alert me to any possible problems. Upon exiting the truck I detected a very faint and quickly disipating odor of hot electrical components, similar to a fourescent light ballast that has gone bad. I looked around but didn't see anything. I began retrieving some tools from the rear passenger side of the truck and smelled the same odor but stronger. Over the next 30-40 seconds I began to search for the source and realized that white smoke was now pouring out from under the hood of the truck. I was able to get it to start and pulled it into the street just prior to flames coming from under the hood near the drivers windshield. 911 was contacted as I tried to remove any belongings from the cab. The truck is now a total loss due to fire most likely. The fire and police responded to put the vehicle out but it was almost completely engulfed on their arrival. My insurance company is attempting to gain possession of the vehicle to begin their investigation. The Vehicle has approx 16,900 miles and was Serviced for safety recall Y76 for risk of engine fire on September 21st of 2022. The vehicle had 14,192 miles when it was inspected and passed according to the recall standards at the time. The vehicle has no other history of repairs or service items and has had no other mechanical or electrical problems to date. This was a very close call that could have resulted in the loss of my home, all my possessions, and risked harm to myself and my family if I had not stopped to get tools from the cab.

The transmission spontaneously slipped out of park and went into reverse. My safety was close to critically impacted. When it began to roll on its own, I was scooped by the driver door and dragged several yards until the truck impacted another vehicle and came to a stop. I very likely could have been killed. If anyone had been behind the truck they likely could have been killed. The incident resulted in significant damage to my vehicle and the vehicle that it ran into. I have not driven the truck since the incident to reproduce. Police did come out to inspect the accident. Has not gone to dealer yet. There were no warning light, buzzers, etc. completely spontaneous. Note: the vehicle was running when this happened. When I was able to get back in truck the stalk was still in park position

Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Sensor never installed, digital gauge has never read anything but 0%. This can cause issues with regeneration of the DPF that will result in Limp mode.

when using the automatic rain wipers with automatic headlights activated during the daytime the dash illumination is darken to night time values. Since the dash is digital along with the radio system, it is EXTREMELY difficult to see anything. It requires you take take your eyes off the road for a longer period to time to view any information on the dash or in the navigation/radio. The dash illumination should never darken during the daytime, unless the light value is decreased to what a nightime value would be.

After vehicle is in reverse and you press the brake. When you move the shifter to park and then release your foot from the brake, the truck moves backwards about 5 inches. It acts like its still in reverse.

My truck had around 230 miles on it and I experienced a thumping noise from the engine compartment. The thumping disappears once the truck reaches operating temperature and the EGR valve opens. Dodge claims they have no idea what the cause is. Additionally, there is an electrical draw. I have to jump start my truck every morning. The claim it is the amplifier. I pulled the fuse overnight and still had to jump start the following morning. I’m getting the run around.

Uconnect 12” Screen Blinds Driver With Full Brightness in Reverse. There is a software issue with the Uconnect 12” screen in RAM trucks. The issue arises in dark unlit areas when the truck is put in reverse, the Uconnect 12” screen is automatically switched to full brightness, resulting in blinding the driver so the side rear view mirrors become useless. There is no way for the driver to override this max brightness when in reverse. The Uconnect 12” screen should maintain its current level of brightness when the driver places the truck in reverse and not default to max brightness. In urban areas this may not be as significant issue as it is in rural areas. Many times, I have had to throw a heavy blanket, jacket, or sweatshirt over the screen so I would not be blinded by its increase to max brightness when putting the truck in reverse. This issue is made significantly worse when trying to back a 30’ trailer in the dark and can no longer see anything from the side view mirrors due to the max brightness of the Uconnect 12” screen blinding me. This is similar to passing a car with their bright lights on, but they sit there until you take the truck out of reverse. This Uconnect 5 12” screen seems to be significantly brighter than the Uconnect 4 screen in my previous vehicle. This is a safety issue as it temporarily blinds the driver when in reverse and has already caused damage to one trailer. The Uconnect 12” should maintain the current level of brightness and not go to max brightness when the truck is put in reverse. Please make this a priority request for the next software release of the Uconnect 12”. Thank you!

My vehicle came with 4X4 gear box shift on the floor. I could not get it to move into neutral or 4 low gear. I hardly drove in so it was no big deal so one day I pulled up the boot around the shift and there was a screw blocking the forward movement. It was the same screw that mount the plastic around the shift, after removing it I was able to get all the gears. The danger in that screw could have put me at risk by locking me into a gear and only staying there. The only reason I discovered this was I changed out my vinyl for carpet.
