RAM electrical problems

Owners have filed 3,868 complaints with NHTSA about the electrical system on RAM vehicles — 100% of everything reported about the brand, across 11 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the RAM 1500, worst in 2019.

These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
