What 2022 Ram 2500 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The contact owns a 2022 Ram 2500. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the messages “Auto Park Disabled”, “Service Electronic Stability Control”, and “Trailer Brake System” were displayed. Additionally, while hauling a camper, the message “Trailer Brakes Disabled” was displayed, and the trailer brakes became inoperable. After restarting the vehicle, the failure was self-corrected, and the trailer brakes operated normally. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, but the cause of the failures was not yet determined. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 65,000.
Vehicle would not start. I put a new battery in, the vehicle still would not start, and the break pedal was stiff. Had someone jump the vehicle, i started it and drove to the dealership service department where I originally bought the vehicle. They said it may be the starter. but they hadn't looked at the vehicle. I told them I would drive to a different shop because it's cheaper. When I tried to put it in drive the vehicle would not move it was giving an error message on the dash. I had to leave the truck there. 2 days later they called me and told me the issue was caused by a recalled part and they fixed the issue. When I arrived they told me I would have to pay $215 diagnostic fee. I told them it's federally prohibited to charge for a recalled part. I had to argue with them to get my vehicle back. They told me next time I should tow the vehicle if I dont want to pay a diagnostic fee. I attached proof of the recall service and the $215 fee listed that they tried to charge me.
I had to hard brake on a damp roadway at about 50 mph. The truck began to rotate and skid. I had no control over the vehicle until it stopped. The dash lights came on for a failure of the brakes, abs, traction control, and stability control. All of the lights went off then the truck seemed to drive normally. A short time later the lights came on and would not go off. Took the truck to the dealer. The hydraulic control unit was bad and was replaced. This did not fix the truck. Now it needs an abs control module. The truck remains at the dealer awaiting this repair. This appears to be a problem in the previous model year Ram 2500’s and it looks like my 2022 is affected also. There are recalls for these trucks but not for my model year.
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? FACTORY TRAILER BRAKE CONTROL UNIT. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? BRAKE CONTROL INTERMITTENTLY FAIL TO WORK. NOT ABLE TO STOP 15,000 LB TRAILER. WEIGHT PUSHS VEICHLE OUT OF CONTROL. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? NEVER DOES IT FOR THE DEALER OR INDEPENDENT SERVICE CENTER AND THEY TOW MY TRAILER AROUND SEVERAL TIMES. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? DEALER & SERVICE CENTER Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? NO NO HOW DO I GET HELP IT IS A 2022 RAM 2500 BROUGHT NEW BY ME AND STARTED HAVING TROUBLE OFF AND ON SINCE THE FIRST 1,000 MILES AND NOW HAVE 26,000 MILES. I READ ABOUT THE RECALLS ON THE 2024 2025 RAM 2500 3500 MODELS WITH AN ENGINEERING PROBLEM ON TWO DIFFERENT VENDORS MAKING CONTROLERS FOR FCA.
The ABS, traction control, and 4x4 lights all came on at the same time. None are operable. During my research I was able to find recall 75b that aligns with the exactly with my current set of issues. 24v-653 is the federal safety agency recall number associated. I need that recall added to my vehicle so I can get the very unsafe issue fixed

Recall said completed it's not and code is still coming up on reader. So many problems with it. How to find out to get the services I'm paying for.
1. Complete Brake Failure. No warning lights came on. There is no emergency warning system for Brake Failure. This could have been catastrophic. This could have turned deadly if we were driving on the highway with no warnings Dec 15, 2024 I drove the truck during the day on the highway and made various stops for Christmas Shopping. I went for dinner with my Family. After dinner climbed into the truck and depressed the break and started the truck. Once the truck started the break pedal could be pushed to the back floorboards. I know this was not right. Turned the truck off and started it again and up it in drive thinking it would correct. It did not turned onto a sidewalk put he truck in park and called a towtruck. 2. The 12" display goes black constantly. Even after several software upgrades. You cannot see heat/radio/ mapping/ phone system nothing it completely shuts down 3. Transmission, when you stop and then drive slowly, press the brakes lift off the brakes slightly the truck lunges forward so you really have to be careful or you will crash into the car in front of you.
Vehicle purchased June 2022. I can't keep front brakes on the vehicle. July 4, 2023 Mileage 52154, the front brakes were worn out and replaced with Brake Best brake pads. January 12, 2024 Mileage 76200. Front brake pads worn out and ruined the rotors. Pads replaced with Raybestos pads and Brake Best Rotors. December 2024 Mileage 114261. Front brake pads worn out and are cutting into the front rotos so, I'm about to replace them with the fourth set of brakes since the truck was manufactured.
