The truck currently has 5804 miles. It has been to the dealership 4 times already for electrical-related issues, and once for a recall on the ECM. Total of 4 CILs by first 1000 miles. Then 1 additional light 8 days ago. Has been at service department since. The first major problem was at apx. 400 miles. The truck shut off at a light, even with the stop/start deactivated, and attempted to restart without success. The starter engaged but the injectors did not. It made a diesel sound until I pressed the start button again to retry, It had a CIL for injector bank misfire, then started back as normal. I drove straight to the dealer (within 2 miles) where they kept it for a week. They called and told me to come to pick it up because there were no issues with it. Apparently, the computer had no stored codes or history. Since then it has had a transmission over temp CIL, and 2 other lights that did not show me a message. The 12-inch Uconnect is constantly having errors and restarting (still awaiting a response from Ram on how to remedy it). The most current issue is when I was pulling away from a stop sign and the truck shifted to park and set the brake while shutting off on its own. Again stop/start was deactivated. Restarted the truck and drove straight to the dealer where it was observed by the service writer and manager that the low battery voltage message (11.5V) and light were on as well as several other lights. While driving it showed a low volt warning and started turning off loads to conserve power. I left the truck with them for 8 days so far. They have checked the truck multiple times as well have driven it. No evidence of any codes in the computer and no error lights anymore. Awaiting Ram to tell them what to do. At this point, I am afraid to drive the truck for fear it will shift to park while traveling at a higher speed and cause an accident. I now have a truck I cannot trust to drive and a hefty payment.

Truck was previously, in the Dodge Ram Dealership, in Glendale, on Brand Blvd. Within 7 days of having my truck "repaired" for SUDDEN AND ABRUPT STOP IN TRAFFIC - Check Engine Light, heater going on by itself, radio-bluetooth connection issues -it was returned with "new computer hardware" and days later June 8th leaving for work not far from my house my truck - ABRUPTY STOPPED WHILE DRIVENG IN TRAFFIC AGAIN! My "case" with customer Care has been REOPENED and my truck is still at the same dealer in service! I was told that a Dodge Durango had the same issue, and it would be looked into by the RAM engineers - The truck has now stopped in traffic twice in a matter of 7 days! I am more than concerned but FEARFUL for my safety and those that ried with me! I do mostly Freeway driving and I am TERRIFED it will STALL AND STOP on me while on the FREEWAY! PLEASE ADVISE!
Radio will randomly switch sources and volume and speakers. This is very distracting and could cause an accident
Back up camera does not work and screen turns blue.
When in tow haul mode the truck will get stuck in 3rd gear. Speed is limited to 30. Very dangerous when towing and on roads that require faster speed. Ram says the hope to fix the software issue sometime. They said do not tow. Affects all ram 1500 with etorque. Recall needed before accident.
1. Heater randomly comes on and can’t be shut off 2.rear-brake stops truck when reversing into driveway 3. Truck made noise and suddenly stopped in traffic - eeror message “power train issue” -able to restart car engine light remained on. 4. Service dealer could not get the 12” screen to respond to his touch! 5. Apps (Waze, car play and other apps) Not working constantly The abrupt stop happened on Friday Car has been in dealer for 5 full days while I must rent a car at my expense! NO explanation NO details NO information each time I’ve called dealer and Chrysler customer care! 5/16 - 5/20 after many calls - with promise of return call NOTHING! They say it’s with the technician and he’s looking at it!
Leased new Dodge Ram 1500 crew cab Big Horn V6 (7 miles) on 4/11/2022. Two days later, check engine light came on and dashboard turned on like a Christmas tree. Brought to Security Dodge dealer Amityville for service. They said it was “stored code” and turned off. A couple days later MIL (Malfunction a indicator light) or check engine light came back in. Took to same dealer for 5 days to repair issue to no avail. They said it was programming issue and emphasized “Bad fuel”. One day later “MIL” came back on flashing “check engine”. Brought back to dealer again for repair (Dodge still there). This all happened from 4/11 thru today, May 10 (with approximately 280 miles). I informed salesman and service that in Dodge app it states: “PowerTrain -Engine Malfunction EOBD /injection system failure”. However, nothing has been fixed. Basically, getting run around with Chrysler Corporate and dealer that they can’t fix Check engine light and engine problems. This vehicle is not “safe” to drive in the roadway. A real lemon. Pls. Investigate this claim..this truck has been a nightmare and more importantly not safe to drive.
2022 ram 1500. Consumer writes in regard to various electrical problems with vehicle. The consumer stated while driving, the vehicle suddenly stopped, put itself in park, and engaged the parking brake. The check engine light illuminated. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure or determine the cause. The display screen became inoperable. The phones would not connect, the sound would go out, apple car play and clock were inoperable.
Driving at slow speed after vehicle sat overnight. Truck stalled, indicating place vehicle in park before starting. I shifted to park, additional lights and errors occurred. Disabled parking brake, and was able to start vehicle after two attempts.
Truck shut off when i was driving it. Left me stuck in the road blocking both lanes of traffic. Emergency brake self applied. Had a hard time re starting, battery light and check engine light came on
Right turn from to sign. Seems that start/stop shut off the engine. When brake was lifted the engine started and immediately stalled, e brake came on and battery warning and check engine light illuminated. I got It going again after shifting to park and releasing the parking brake and turned off start/stop. Got a weird drivetrain vibration soon after so I pulled off and turned the engine off. After I got going again it seemed to run fine but the check engine light is still lit. Two errors were thrown and appear in my Ram app: Charging System Failure EOBD/Injection System Failure
My ram was purchased in October. Since I have had it there have been multiple electrical problems. Speakers cutting in and out backup camera showing blue screen/ flickers from view to blue screen, and when these things happen it affects the way the engine runs. A few days ago I go in my truck to take off, placed truck in drive and left parking spot. 15 seconds later as I’m driving through the parking lot the emergency break engaged tried to disengage it and it wouldn’t release. Shut the truck off and back on and it disengaged. Friday morning is when I left my house for work, as I turned right from the neighborhood at the light the transmission slipped and engine just revved. Again I had to stop and shut off truck as cars were speeding towards my direction. If that has been any other morning when the intersection is busy I would have been in a pretty horrible accident thinking I would be able to take off as normal.
