Two week Monday July 6, around 3:15pm while driving down on highway passing lane suddenly the vehicle start loosing speed and after few seconds I noticed that the engine stalled. No warning light or anything, the steering wheel turns to very heavy and the break pedal is really hard as well. Fortunately near by there was a U-turn lane for authorized vehicles only and I was able to merge to it and stop. After that I was able to start the vehicle immediately with no issues. Behind me there were at least 10 other cars trying to pass a line of semi trucks and I was lucky to nobody crash on my rear. I took the vehicle to the dealer, they run tests and tried to reproduce but no success. Besides the dealer no one checked anything due to there was no substantial damage or anything. Actually this was the second time that the vehicle engine stalled. First time was couple months back while my wife was driving in low speed trying to move out from a stopping light and the engine stalled.

when i am driving and going left through a roundabout a few minutes from my house my engine just shuts off, no warning lights on the dash. this has now happened twice this year (2026) most recent was Tuesday 7/7/26, i have 38,089 miles on it. there were cars behind me both times luckly both times i was able to stop as the light was red just after the roundabout put it in park and it started right up. the dealer thinks it could be somthing in the area that has the same frequency as my truck. this is becuse his aunt had a ford that when she went to the same local convenience store her car wouldn't start up and that dealer said it was the same frequency as the fuel pumps at that store. im not buying that.

The vehicle shut down and set the emergency parking brake while the vehicle was in motion at a rate of less than 15 mph. This has occurred 5 times. The first time it occurred the dealership said that it just required a software update. Every instance the vehicle was under 15 mph, and in the process of turning onto a road. There were no indications that this was going to happen before it occurred

My 2022 Ram 1500 TRX has recurring safety-related failures of the infotainment system affecting Uconnect 5 (12” screen). These issues are widespread in 2021–2024 Ram TRX and Ram 1500 models and began or worsened after forced over-the-air updates. The primary defect is black-screen failures while driving. When the screen goes black or freezes, the truck loses all functions controlled through the display, including HVAC/defrost, backup camera, vehicle settings, seat controls, and performance gauges. This creates an immediate safety hazard: I cannot adjust climate/defrost, cannot see the required rear-view camera when shifting to reverse, and cannot access key vehicle information. Owners across multiple years consistently report: • Black screens, freezes, and reboots • Loss of HVAC control and dual-zone functions • Backup camera not displaying • Backup camera freezing with picture • Vehicle/Apps tabs failing to open • Uconnect error messages • Smaller, harder-to-read gauges after updates • Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto failures • No option to decline or roll back OTA updates These failures distract the driver, remove access to federally required equipment (rear camera), and eliminate visibility and climate controls that directly affect safe operation. The system becomes unpredictable and unstable despite the vehicle being in motion. My vehicle experiences the same issues, including what was listed above Because this affects essential safety-related controls and visibility, I believe this is a safety defect in Ram/Stellantis Uconnect 5 systems. I request NHTSA open a defect investigation and require Ram to correct these failures.

While going approximately 15 mph the truck shut off and said press brake to start like it does upon entry into the vehicle when it hasn’t been running, and then to put it in park. I had no gas and had to stop on the middle of the road to switch the truck into park, turn it all the way off, then restart it and then release the parking brake.

While driving on the 60 East highway (approximately 65-68 mph), the vehicle did not accelarate and became completely non-responsive. Each time I pressed on the gas pedal, the RPM needle started trembling between 600-1100, which is much lower than where it should be while the vehicle was in Drive and traveling at this speed. This was an extremely dangerous situation as I had my wife and 5 month old daughter in the vehicle, and other vehicles were traveling significantly faster than me. I noticed some engine vibrations, and the digital gauge cluster screen presented information on the screen as if the vehicle was "off." It instructed me to push the gear lever into Park. It then instructed me to press the brake pedal and push the iginition button. All of this occurred as the vehicle was still coasting (likely around 40 mph). I pulled over on to the shoulder to see what occurred. After coming to a complete stop the engine cut out. I was able to restart the vehicle and drove approximately 10 minutes before it occurred again on the surface streets. At that point the ignition did not catch and it sounded very much like the engine was not able to turn on at all. The check engine light turned on at this point. I called AAA for tow services shortly thereafter, and the vehicle was dropped off at the dealership. I have not received any followup from the dearlership yet.

There is a known issue with the Ram infotainment Uconnect systems. The 2022 Ram 1500 frequently experiences infotainment issues involving its Uconnect 5 system, characterized by loud buzzing or popping noises, "screen bouncing" (glitchy movement or flickering), and spontaneous reboots. These symptoms often result from software bugs, a full memory cache, or, in some cases, hardware defects requiring a complete unit replacement. Some issues tied to this are Loss of Rearview Visibility, The radio software can prevent the backup camera image from displaying on the center screen when you shift into reverse. Driver Distraction from "Ghost Touching" and Loud Noise, Impairment of Integrated Safety Controls: In the 2022 Ram, the infotainment screen is often the only way to access or adjust certain safety-related features. Climate & Defrosting: If the screen is frozen or inoperable, drivers may be unable to activate the windshield defroster or adjust climate controls, which can lead to limited visibility in cold or humid conditions. There has been a recall notice for a similar issue with the camera systems not functioning properly and displaying on the infotainment screen however this is a completely separate issue that thousands are experiencing. The result is usually a replacement of the entire system costing upwards of 3000 dollars post warranty. These issues usually show up after the factory warranty. Mine is at 38,000 miles most are in that area.

Dashboard leather is delaminating and lifting above the steering wheel. The defect began before my 36,000-mile factory warranty expired. This is a known, widespread manufacturing defect on 2021-2022 Ram 1500 TRX trucks documented in numerous owner forums. Stellantis has replaced dashboards under warranty and goodwill for other owners with the same failure

my 2022 Ram Laramie 1500 is experiencing repeated issues with the Uconnect 8.4 system going into a mode where the screens continually change resolution which can not only be distracting but not allow me to use the controls on the screen, this also results in my rear view camera freezing or going back screen while trying to back up losing the visibility.. this has been happening for several months. to correct the issue i have to turn the truck off and exit the vehicle. return a short time later and start the vehicle and the issue is cleared for a few days until it does it again. its almost like its trying to install an update and failing causing it to "freak out" then it will seem to try again in a few days. sometimes if i am unable to stop and shut the truck off i have to turn off the screen to avoid distraction from the constantly changing screen especially at night this is very distracting.

Vehicle starts sputtering/stalling out when sitting at stop signs or stoplights. It feels like the auto start/stop is trying to engage and disengage over and over again. This happens even with the auto start turned off, after turning the truck off and back on again it seems to go away for a while. This has happened at least a dozen times in the past 6 months or so.

We have had this truck since August 2025, the engine has stalled while driving numerous times since we have had it. This happens randomly and unexpectedly, the vehicle loses power and stalls, shifts itself back into park and engages the emergency break. It does not show any check engine lights for the dealership to replicate the issue. The engine will start back up after it stalls. We have always bought Ram trucks and never had this issue before. When speaking to many different mechanics they are relating this issue to the 2021 E-torque malfunction. (37A/NHTSA3A-265). The reliability of this truck causes severe safety concerns, as our truck stalled in the middle of a highway with my children in the vehicle this past weekend. The ongoing investigation should be expedited to prevent severe or even fatal accidents.

The radio in my truck keeps displaying a message about my uconnect not working and to seen an authorized dealer. This message blocks my view of my backup camera as well as creates a distraction while driving. After this message appears, my assist and SOS buttons no longer function as intended. The dealer has replaced multiple components related to this issue and have not resolved the problem. A substantial amount of people online also have this same complaint.

The vehicle had been in operation for approximately 10 minutes. While driving at highway speed on a downhill arterial road with a curve at the bottom, the infotainment system switched from the active screen to a small banner advertisement for complimentary Sirius XM radio service. This banner advertisement disabled all infotainment based actions including the previously displayed information, radio control, climate control, navigation guidance etc. Powering off and powering on via the easy to reach power button did not clear the system state. The only way to clear was to touch the small dim "X" button on gray background which was on the upper right hand (but below corner) portion of the screen. This was extremely difficult to locate and was completely invisible until after the road curved, casting enough shadow on the screen to make out the low contrast input. Having an unexpected superfluous pop up with a difficult to dismiss mechanism which prevents necessary in motion adjustments such as receiving driving guidance, muting audio, or activating defrost systems is distracting and dangerous to myself, and potentially other occupants, as well as to other vehicles and/or pedestrians which may have been present. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacture, police, insurance, etc. No other warning lamps or messages associated with this issue were displayed.

Back window of 2022 Dodge Ram is improperly sealed during manufacturing, and water is seeping into backseat area. Safety Concerns: 1. Water seepage: Indicates the rear window seal was not properly installed or has failed prematurely. 2. Glass stress: Continuous water pressure and poor sealing can weaken the bond between the glass and frame, increasing the risk of cracking or shattering. 3. Passenger safety: If the window breaks under stress, rear passengers could be exposed to sharp glass fragments. This was a recall on older Dodge Ram models and needs to happen in 2022 models as well.

The vehicle is a 2022 RAM 1500 Laramie Crew Cab that experienced a complete failure of the 48-volt eTorque battery pack and Motor Generator Unit (MGU). On August 1, 2025, at approximately 11,374 miles, the truck became inoperable and had to be towed to the dealership. The dealership confirmed the failure of the eTorque hybrid system components. The vehicle has remained out of service since August 1, 2025, with multiple delays in sourcing the required replacement parts (battery pack and MGU). As of early October 2025, the truck remains at the dealership and has been non-operational for over 60 consecutive days. Safety Concerns: This failure presented a serious safety risk because the truck could not be driven or restarted after it stalled in the middle of a busy street. If the failure had occurred on a freeway or in traffic, the sudden loss of power could have led to a collision, placing the driver, passengers, and others on the road at risk. Inspection and Repairs: The failure was reproduced and confirmed by [XXX] Dodge Chrysler Jeep RAM (La Mesa, CA). Chrysler/Stellantis engineering reviewed the case under Case #93835258 and authorized replacement parts. As of now, the vehicle is still not restored to operational condition despite multiple part shipments and attempted repairs. Warning/Failure Indicators: Prior to failure, the vehicle did NOT display warning lamps and messages associated with the hybrid system malfunction. Once the fault occurred, the vehicle could not run. Summary: Component(s) failed: 48V eTorque battery pack and Motor Generator Unit (MGU). Risk: Sudden loss of propulsion, high safety risk. Inspection: Confirmed by dealership and Stellantis engineers. Out of service: Vehicle has been non-operational since August 1, 2025 (over 60 days). Availability: The vehicle remains at the dealership and can be inspected upon request.
