2022 Ram 1500 problems

“I have a 2022 RAM 1500 Longhorn Limited VIN [XXX]. It had a real problem a couple of years ago with stalling to a stop and die when making slow left hand turns. Went to the dealer twice. They claimed it was nothing but after the second visit, it no longer did it anymore. It’s done it twice in the past couple of months. This evening it did it at a three way stop sign with no turn. When it shuts off it’s in drive of course and it auto shifts to park and sets the emergency brake automatically. Then I can start the engine again but I have the press the emergency brake switch button to release it. Then the low voltage light appears on the instrument cluster and the voltage gauge stays only about a quarter of the way up above zero on the negative side. To remedy this I have to shut off the engine and sometimes open the door for a while, close it and then start the engine and all is well again. I know RAM plays dumb when I describe this to them.”

“Incident 1 or 2. I am filing two separate formal complaints regarding two incidents in which my 2022 Ram 1500 eTorque unexpectedly shut down while driving, posing serious safety risks and raising concerns about an unresolved vehicle defect. First Incident: September 25–November 4, 2025-During rush-hour traffic on a major Idaho highway, my truck suddenly shut down while I was traveling in the far-left lane. I had to maneuver onto the left shoulder to avoid being struck by another vehicle. After waiting approximately 30 minutes for a tow truck, I was without my vehicle for nearly six weeks while the service center assessed the problem and awaited parts. Repairs included replacing the 12-volt battery at my expense and the 48-volt battery under warranty. Repeated, unexplained failures present an unacceptable safety risk to me, my family, and other motorists. I continue to drive with the concern that my truck could shut down in traffic or in a remote location, potentially resulting in serious injury or loss of life. The approaching expiration of the 48-volt battery warranty further compounds my concerns, as I could face significant repair costs for a problem that…”

“Incident 2 of 2: I am filing two separate formal complaints regarding two incidents in which my 2022 Ram 1500 eTorque unexpectedly shut down while driving, posing serious safety risks and raising concerns about an unresolved vehicle defect. Second Incident: May 30–June 23, 2026-While traveling on a mountain road, my truck again shut down unexpectedly. Without cell service, I was unable to call for assistance. After approximately 15 minutes, I restarted the truck and drove home. The following day, the truck would not start, requiring a tow to another Ram service facility. Although the dealership again focused on the 48-volt battery, it could not confirm the cause of either shutdown. I was told a failed fuse prevented the truck from starting, but no underlying cause was identified. Repeated, unexplained failures present an unacceptable safety risk to me, my family, and other motorists. I continue to drive with the concern that my truck could shut down in traffic or in a remote location, potentially resulting in serious injury or loss of life. The approaching expiration of the 48-volt battery warranty further compounds my concerns, as I could face significant…”

“My car just stopped and turned off. On the screen it says service electronic stability control. And power steering unavailable and service immediately. I serviced the car on April 24th. I received the car April 29th and they said they had to flash the computers and it would take 1.5 hours. I paid 330 dollars. I drove the car off and 15-20 min later the car cut off. I called the dealership and told them and they said they have to get the car back in the shop. I have additional documents.”

“For the 6th time this year. I was going to take off from stopped when I went to accelerate and my truck shut off, showed switch to park. When I went to apply my brakes. It automatically engages the parking break while moving. This time. A vehicle near rear ended me with my kids in the car due to the abrupt halt. Truck had a full tank. Seat belts were worn. Just engine dying and slamming itself into park. I’ve been searching and seen lots of complaints about similar models and no recall for the 2022 1500. This is becoming a reoccurring issue that is endangering the safety of my children”

“On XXX at approximately 1:00 PM, while driving my 2022 Ram 1500 3.0L EcoDiesel on [XXX] east of [XXX]/north of [XXX], a rigid metal diesel fuel supply tube fractured at approximately 49,209 miles. The failure caused a substantial uncontrolled release of diesel fuel into the engine compartment and underneath the vehicle. Diesel fuel traveled underneath the truck and contaminated portions of the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle's check engine light came on, became disabled and required repair away from home. The failed component has been retained. Photographs show a visible crack/fracture in the metal tube itself rather than at a threaded connection. A replacement Mopar tube was obtained from a Ram dealer. The vehicle previously underwent the Ram/Stellantis high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) safety recall, Recall 01A/NHTSA 23V-263, on XXX. I do not currently know whether the failed tube was replaced or disturbed during that repair and have requested the prior repair records. I am reporting this because a sudden pressurized diesel fuel leak into the engine compartment presents a potential fire hazard. I have retained the failed component and can make it available for inspection.”
