The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor on my 2022 Ram 2500 failed, causing multiple system malfunctions. It triggered inaccurate Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) codes and showed abnormally high idle hours that do not reflect actual vehicle use. This defect is tied to a known issue identified by Stellantis in Technical Service Bulletin #18-002-24, which acknowledges improper MAF sensor calibration or compatibility on vehicles like mine. The bulletin was verbally confirmed by the dealership as applying to my truck. This faulty sensor caused emissions system errors, degraded engine performance, and may impact emissions compliance. There was a persistent check engine light, reduced fuel economy, and the risk of engine derating. The problem was reproduced and confirmed by Encore Chrysler (Mobile, AL), an authorized Ram dealership. Stellantis has agreed to cover the repair under Goodwill, but the issue appears systemic. Safety was potentially compromised by inaccurate sensor data that may cause sudden engine derate or failure during operation. Additionally, the incorrect idle hour readings could affect warranty determinations and long-term diagnostics if not corrected. The check engine light first appeared on May 21, 2024. The vehicle has been out of service since May 22, 2024, and repairs are still pending. The MAF sensor and affected systems are available for inspection upon request. This issue may affect a broader set of Ram 2500 trucks, and given the manufacturer’s internal bulletin, it may merit a recall review.
5th gen ram with the 6.7 Cummins diesel have a massive problem with lifters. Extremely common for trucks with under 10k miles needing the extensive repair done. I’ve read in some cases people whole motors breakdown due to this failure while on the highway pulling a load. My specific truck had to have all the lifters replaced at 76k miles. There needs to be a manufacture recall on these.
Stater seized
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.
Grid heater nut/bolt has been reported to deteriorate enough to allow the nut to drop into the intake manifold and get sucked into the engine causing catastrophic engine failure. This information comes from shops that have replaced the engines that have had this failure occur
Truck would not start or crank over. It had to be towed to a repair shop and the starter had to be replaced.
The grid heater bolt can fail and fall into cylinder number 6 and cause catastrophic failure causing an accident. The 68RFE transmission is prone to failure and should be repaired/replaced. The hydraulic liters are subject to failure and should be replaced with solid lifters.
The transmission down shifts by itself while driving down the road . You have to stop an change the gears to park then start again.I has happened 3 or 4 times .most of the time when you stop at a light or stop sign and take off when it drops to a lower gear it makes a sudden jerk. Some times tyhe transmission slams in to gear rather hard, I am going to be out of warranty if some one does not fix this problem.It has 12,276.7 miles on it as of right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don,t drive it much but it is going to blow the engine up or the tramission.
This is a safety recall ISSUE, I continue to have a problem with this dealer (Hunter Dodge in Lancaster ca) on resolving 3 safety recalls on my 2022 Ram 2500 I have been on the dealers waiting list for 8 months now. Recently I received a call from Chrysler Co. that the dealer had the parts inhouse and I should call the dealer (Hunter Dodge in Lancaster ca) to set up an appointment. I called the person who is responsible at the dealership to get an appointment, she stated there was no reason for the appointment because she did not have the parts to fix my truck and hung up the phone. I received a call from Chrysler saying the parts are at the dealer, and yet when I call they continue to say the parts are not in. I am planning to go out of town with my family soon and I am VERY worried about this being a SAFTEY issue for 8 months now. I wonder if this problem qualifies as a 'Lemon Law' issue or any other action?, I hope you can help resolve this issue.

Service def see dealer and max 5mph in 150 miles. Traveling on I-40 from East Tn heading home. 225 miles to go. On a Friday afternoon. Called dealers in area none could look at it until Monday. Stressing about possibility of going into derate at 5mph on interstate and getting rear ended. Had to rent a car and take to a dealer 160 miles from home. Spoiled my vacation because of a false warning about def level. All that was wrong was the code needed to be cleared.
This recall has NOT been fixed by the dealer since I had it there December 20, 2021 with the original recall Y76. I’ve received two more recalls for the Intake Air Grid Heater Relay 13A, have taken it in for service 2x now for it and am told still that parts are on back order. I’ve been told this since December 2021.
Two fire related safety recalls ZA3 (10/22/2022) and 13A (2/9/2023) have yet to be resolved due to a lack of parts from the manufacturer with no date available as to the availability of required parts.

There is an open recall that is not being taken care of by the manufacture stating my truck engine will catch fire when parked. Seems to me they should fix this as soon as possible.

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 2500. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 22V835000 (Power Train) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable.

Dealer Paul cole motors in Fostoria Ohio sold me it on a stop order. I can email the paperwork
When decelerating at transmission shift point the engine will accelerate 200 to 500 rpm with no gas applied. The vehicle will lurch forward. Additional breaking is required to prevent possible incidents. Dealer say no codes so nothing they can do issue is repeatable.
DEF sensor malfunctions, threatening to limit vehicle to 5 mph or stop completely. This is because DEF fluid freezes in cold weather. Sensor reads that DEF tank is empty, even when it is full. Contacted local dealer who confirmed the issue and noted that it is a prevalent problem and he has a backlog of trucks with the same issue. I consider this a safety issue, as I could be stranded on the road in winter conditions or not have access to my vehicle in case of emergency. Google search shows that this is a significant issue affecting many people. Dealer said that the only solution is to put the vehicle in a heated garage for several days to defrost the DEF and allow the sensor to reset. They currently have a backlog of several weeks. And then what happens when you get it back? You hope it doesn't refreeze and strand you on the road somewhere?
