On June 26, 2025 there was heavy thunderstorms throughout our area. I was driving to my office to pick up an item and all of a sudden my dashboard lit up with numerous error messages. I turned the truck off and could not get it to start again. I had to have it towed to the dealership and they cleaned some electrical connectors and returned it to me. My wife picked it up and on the drive home the windshield wipers went off and she also had numerous error messages on the dashboard so we returned it to the dealership. They replaced some modules as they found rust and returned the truck to me. When I went to the dealership to pick it up the truck would not start. They then said there was some corrosion in the star connectors and some moisture behind the radio. They replaced parts and returned it back to me. Since then I have had the truck back and had three more electrical issues with the vehicle. The service technician does not know what the error is and is having trouble pinpointing the problem. Its an electrical issue that they can't figure out. Tomorrow I am returning my truck for the sixth time for the same issue. I do not trust the truck to drive around and have not been able to use it for over 60 days.
2020 Ram 1500 visibility complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 64, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The dashboard leather on my 2020 Ram Longhorn (VIN [XXX] ) has severely bubbled and separated from the underlying structure. The warping creates dangerous glare and distortion in the windshield, compromising forward visibility. Additionally, the deformation extends over the passenger side airbag panel, raising serious concerns about whether the airbag can deploy correctly. This is a well-documented defect on 2019–2020 Ram Longhorn dashboards due to adhesive failure, not wear and tear. FCA/Stellantis is aware of the issue and has issued technical bulletins, but many vehicles remain unrepaired. This should be treated as a safety issue and addressed via recall or extended coverage.

The windshield wiper system is currently pumping wiper fluid but not on the windshield, instead it is somehow sending it to the passenger side of the front hood and draining directly on the ground. I took it to the dealer and was told several other vehicles came in with the exact same issue and was told it would be addressed but as of now it has not
The contact owns a 2020 RAM 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the rear windshield inexplicably shattered. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but refused to inspect the vehicle for unknown reasons. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 20,000.
Drivers side visor broke at the support point and fell down obscuring drivers' vision while driving on the highway. Required holding visor up with one hand while pulling over. This situation has reoccurred several times while waiting for an appointment at the dealer. Broken plastic shaft is the cause. Upon inspection this is an under sized plastic shaft. Other sources report this is a common problem since 2019. It is a dangerous situation having your vision blocked while in traffic. Ram says it is an out of warranty, pay for the repair issue. Vehicle has 49500 miles. New visor looks like the old one.
My driver and passenger sun visors fall from the mounting arm and will not stay attached.
The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 20V622000 (Visibility); however, the dealer set the recall appointment for January 2025. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
The drivers side sun visor has failed multiple times. As I am driving it falls out of its housing on the vehicle ceiling and obstructs my vision. I took it to the dealer and they replaced the visor. However, it has failed again and almost caused an accident. I spoke with an individual that works for Ram and was told that this is a repair and complaint that they hear quite often. I believe without a manufacturer recall and replacement that this could cause a severe accident.
The Windsor shade flaps have both failed the drivers side pushed back into the slot has fallen out of the slot and has obscured driving needing to pull off of road way push back into slot this has also stopped the garage door opener to function
I was driving back from Montana and my passenger side sun visor disconnected and was hanging from the wire causing a visibility issue when driving. Approximately 1 year ago the same thing happened to my driver side sun visor. This also caused problems with visibility while driving because it wouldn't remain in the locked position. It would hang by the wires. Both times I had the visor replaced at the Dodge dealership in Prescott Az. I was told my the service advisor that it has been a problem and they have had to replace quite a few. I asked if they have fixed the problem and he stated that it hasn't and its still the original parts. This is going to lead to a serious car accident or death if this problem isn't resolved by Dodge.
Driver's side sun visor repeatedly comes loose from ceiling attachment causing the visor to drop into driver's sight line completely blocking forward view. It happens suddenly, often as I'm approaching a stop light, and is a massive safety concern. I have had several near misses where I've almost rear-ended cars in front of me. I reported the issue to the dealer at my last service and, while I was told this was a "common issue" with Dodge Rams, the dealer/Dodge would not cover the cost and it would be $500+ to repair with parts and labor. If this is as prevalent as the dealer indicated, this should be a safety recall.
While driving at highway speed with the sunvisor down, the visor suddenly became loose and hit me in the head blocking my vision. As I reached up to move the visor around, I realized that there was no tension on the swing arm and the visor would swing from the driver side window all the way to the windshield, this caused me to keep one hand on the visor when the sun was coming through the driver side window, and only one hand on the wheel.
The inside of my truck has condensation. The inside lights console don’t work. Because water comes in by the rear top headliner.
Hi, we own a 2020 Dodge Ram 1500. Went to drive our truck during a snow storm. The driver's side wiper arm stripped its splines. Dealership says tough luck. You're on your own. A 2020 Dodge Truck. This is ridiculous. We have 2 small kids, and can't drive our new truck when it rains. Never heard of a new vehicle stripping the splines of a wiper arm, because of ice and snow. No one ever touched the wiper arm. We used remote start to warm up the vehicle, only to find out the arm was stripped when we tried to drive it. I've owned many vehicles, never had this happen before. No one I've talked with, has had this happen, even in the worst weather conditions. This is a Major flaw, and a huge safety issue. Thank you.

The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 MPH, the contact heard a loud booming sound. The contact stopped to inspect the vehicle, and it was discovered that the driver's side rear glass window panel had exploded outward causing chards of glass to enter the vehicle. The contact stated that during failure the rear defroster was activated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who replaced the driver's side rear glass window panel. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 30,000. The VIN was not available.
The sun visors unexpectedly drop out of there sockets impeding the drivers ability to see abruptly. This is obviously dangerous. They are defective and this has been reported on RAM forums to no avail.
water is coming thru the top of front windshield and condensation build up
The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 60 MPH, the sunroof suddenly shattered, raining down glass into the interior of the vehicle. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 40,000.
The driver side sun visor hinge point is failing. Without warning either when I attempt to fold down the sun visor or sometimes just on it's own it has fallen down out of the roof from the hinge point on the left side that allows you to rotate it to the side window if necessary. If I didn't have my hand on it to immediately lift it back up and from blocking my vision of the road in front of me it could have caused a collision with another vehicle, pedestrian or other object. I can push it back up into the receiver hole in the roof but it remains loose with the potential to fall out again as it has on several occasions. It has not been inspected yet. There are no warning indicators for this problem.
The driver side sun visor failed at the attachment point, left side while driving at high speed on the local freeway, obstructing my view of the traffic ahead temporarily. There was no warning and the failure was completely unexpected.
The drivers side sun visor can fall out of the mechanism that holds it to the interior of the roof without warning. This happened on my ex girlfriends 2019 ram 1500 and just happened to my 2020 ram 1500. The dealer repaired hers for free even though it was out of warranted because it was a “known issue” according to the service department. Today mine fell out, hitting me in the head as I was driving and temporarily obscured my view of the roadway. The same happened to my girlfriend. If this is a known issue why has there not been a recall notice on this? Could easily lead to accident with injury or fatality.
BACK OVER PREVENTION: DISPLAY FUNCTION. Rear backup camera failed, requiring the replacement of the radio unit. A rearview camera that does not display an image reduces the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash. Specific to 2020 Ram 1500, but potentially similar to the recent recall of newer year 2022-2024 Ram 1500 / 2500 trucks [XXX] ).

About a year ago the passenger side visor fell from the arm side and was dangling in the window from the cords that operate the light. I almost ran into another vehicle when it happened. About 2 months ago, the driver side did the exact same thing as i was approaching a stoplight I could not see and almost hit the car in front of me.
The drivers-side Sunvisor keeps falling down randomly and dangles in way of line of sight to the road. It will not stay up. The safety issue is while driving in heavy traffic in Houston, TX the visor fell down obstructing my view and I almost crashed trying to keep the Visor Up with one hand and avoiding cars changing lanes. I did take my truck to the dealer and they told me it would cost $180 just to look at and then they would tell how much it would cost to fix. I feel this should be a Safety Matter and corrected free of charge. I looked on the internet and it seems there are a lot of problems with this same issue. There were not any warning lights before or after the visor would obstruck my vision.
The plastic clip that holds the sun visor into the roof has broken after 32,000 miles of driving, when the plastic has failed he visor can fall out of position and into the field of view, the visor can no longer be stored in its correct position, it also needs to be held while driving so that it does not obstruct ones vision.
The plastic stem that holds the driver side visor in place broke and the visor dropped obstructing driver visibility from the front windshield.
Driver’s side visor abruptly fell out of the swivel plate while driving. Visor will not stay up/in place. The visor hangs by the electrical wiring.
The driver’s side visor fell down on its own and blocked my visibility almost causing me to lose control of the vehicle because I could not see where I was going. The visor will not stay up in the locked position. I can see wires and a broken black plastic part where the visor support is located.
Both driver/passenger side adjustable sun visors broke while driving the vehicle, causing the visor to smack me in the face, and almost veering into another street lane without intention to do so. Now that they are both broken, it is ineffective to use in order to block the sun from blinding the driver while operating the vehicle. This presents a very unsafe driving condition, as they are constantly dropping from the fastening arm. Before I attempt to purchase new replacements, I feel this should be replaced at cost by the manufacturer cause there is intricate wiring inside the arms which have detached from the fastener. My vehicle isn't even three years of age and the sun visors are not handled rigorously outside of normal operation handling. See photos provided.
Rear window and 3rd brake light leaking multiple times. Rear window replaced multiple times. rear window leaked this time causing an electrical short draining my battery and cause certain electronic parts of the truck not to work properly. Cracks it rear window are extremely prevalent on this vehicle and it is a known issue yet there hasn't been permanent adequate fix by the manufacturer and isn't covered once warranty runs out. the problem is a composite frame to the window that is going to crack no matter what due to temperature changes and flex in the body of the vehicle.
