On August 20, 2025, my 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie was taken to the dealership for diagnosis after showing the warning -??Electronic Stability Control system needs service, -?? along with a flashing check engine light. The dealer pulled diagnostic codes and documented U0403-00 (-??Invalid Data Received from Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Control Module A-??) as well as other communication errors. This is the same defect covered under Stellantis-?? recall for ABS module failures that disable stability control in 2019 Ram trucks. However, my VIN is not included in the recall. A few years ago, the truck experienced the same warning, but the problem cleared on its own. Now it has returned and is documented with codes in the dealer system. The dealership acknowledged other recalls were already completed on my VIN, but refuses to perform this safety recall since my VIN is not listed. ABS and ESC failures are not the result of consumer behavior. This is a faulty system created at the time of vehicle manufacturing. There has been no accident or outside damage, and nothing the owner could have done to avoid this issue. The defect lies with the vehicle-??s design and creates a serious safety risk for the driver and others on the road. I believe my VIN was excluded from the recall in error and request that NHTSA investigate and expand the coverage.

MGU (alternator) has went out on my truck and multiple dealerships have stated they can-??t fix it due to parts not available. Molar can-??t get the part and now I-??m stuck with no vehicle. The dealership told me they have multiple people waiting for the same part and that the MGU is faulty and fails on these trucks. My wife was taking my kids to school and they were stranded on the side of the road because my truck give a battery low warning and then died. It should be illegal for ram to continue to sell these vehicles and refuse to fix them. I can-??t even buy a used part to fix it because the dealership won-??t program and install a used part.

The MGU (motor generator Unit) is failing. Appears to be a known issue with Chrysler. Problem is that this part is not available. Was told that there are over 3,000 backordered parts with no eta. The dealer said that they had several on backorder from May. This is a 2019 product and there is no reason that this part should not be available.

After coming to a rolling stop and making a right, I would attempt to accelerate. The vehicle would then throw itself out of gear and I could not accelerate. A message would appear on the dash "Shift to P then Desired Gear." The problem would not be fixed until the vehicle was put in park, then back into drive. I took the vehicle to RAM and they could not replicate the issue, but it would happen to me regularly (1-2 times a month at random). I told this to RAM Dealership and RAM Cares, but nobody seemed bothered that it could get people killed. The problem did not seem to get fixed until I took apart the throttle body and cleaned it out by hand. Since then, I had not had an issue.

The contact owns a 2019 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, several unknown warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact pulled over to the shoulder of the roadway and turned off the vehicle. While attempting to restart the vehicle, the vehicle failed to immediately restart, and several attempts were needed to start the vehicle. The vehicle then returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The contact was informed that the failure had been referred to an engineer with the manufacturer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 45,000.

At about 77k miles, I started hearing a humming noise from the engine when I would accelerate and then decelerate. Upon inspection and confirmation from Ram dealership, the Engine Generator Kit (alternator) appeared to have a bad bearing and needed to be replaced. I initially agreed to the replacement until I was told that the part needed is on backorder and that there were roughly 4k orders placed ahead of mine nationally. This means I have no way of fixing this issue using an original MOPAR part. I was told I can agree to pay for the item to get the order placed and then wait until it comes in with no timeframe given other than it could be weeks or months. I am now having to drive around in a vehicle that could potentially breakdown at any time and thus leaving me with no vehicle. I do not have any warning lights on the dash but it seems like I am driving a ticking timebomb.

The "Generator Kit" which houses the vehicles alternator went bad. I have been waiting for more than 4 weeks for the repair to be done and the shop has no idea when the part will arrive. It is Generator Kit #68623194AB. I reached directly out to 12 dealers and none of them give me any idea of when they can get the part and have a waiting list themselves. The web is lighting up with thousands of complaints about this single issue. One dealer said they have no idea when the part will show up and they've already been waiting for "6" MONTHS. They said it could honestly be another 6 months. For an alternator"?" RAM Trucks has a major issue here and they have known about it for a while.

Rear window seal has allowed water in to the cab of the truck and the electronic components under the back seat have already had to be replaced causing the vehicle to not operate properly. The rear window is still leaking and has leaked since 2021, when it was replaced under warranty. If water enters into the electronic components under the back seat or the air bags located in the head liner, while driving, this could cause severe damage to property and could be harmful to life.

E torque alternator generator failure, loss of power while driving to all vehicle electrical systems. Part is on national backorder. Reading forums this has been an issue with ram on failure and backorder issues for over a year.

- Green River, WY, USA

The alternator failed suddenly and without warning, leaving me stranded on a road with no shoulder during 91?F heat. The vehicle lost electrical power and required a tow. This is not just a standard alternator, it-??s a component of the eTorque mild hybrid system and requires both a specific part and a dealer reprogramming (flash) to function. After the incident, I learned that the part is on national backorder with more than 4,000 vehicles waiting, according to multiple dealers and service centers I-??ve contacted. Ram has provided no reliable ETA, loaner, or support option. This is a critical failure that completely disables the vehicle and creates a dangerous safety situation, especially in high temperatures or in areas where pulling over safely is not an option. I was without air conditioning or any form of engine power while exposed to traffic and heat, and had to wait a prolonged time for a tow. This appears to be a widespread issue with Ram eTorque vehicles, particularly the alternator/starter-generator assembly. The required flash must be performed by a dealer, so no aftermarket or independent fix is currently viable. Ram has not issued a recall or taken accountability for this dangerous and increasingly common failure. I am filing this report to request investigation into the failure rate of these eTorque alternators, the supply chain delays that make timely repairs impossible, and the complete lack of contingency support or guidance for affected customers.

I was at a stop light and I got a warning light and a check engine light that said service shifter. After that, it wouldn-??t shift gears and I was stuck in 1st gear. I pulled over and got a service tire pressure light, 4WD temporary unavailable light, service airbag light, ESC light, parking light. The vehicle was also sputtering and the cooling fan came on full force.
