I bought a 2019 Ram July of 2022 - I drove it home and pick up my dad to drive my old truck back (didn-??t trade it in), as I was pulling up to the dealership, I experienced a huge safety issue with the truck continuing to accelerate after multiple alarms were flashing on my dash - service electronic stable control, service electronic throttle control, parking break - along with others. I pulled it into the dealership and the salesman who sold me the truck just happened to be outside - pulled up and told him I wasn-??t shutting this off until we get something hooked up to it to see what the issue is.. they hooked it up and it threw a code for Traction control (I believe). They ended up keeping the truck for a week - then they said they replace a relay and the found a pinched wire-??. So this happened at 32,000 miles.. Now almost a year later, the exact same thing happened tonight on Easter while I had my entire family in my truck! Went over a couple bumps on a rough corner of a road about 30 foot from a stop sign. My dash lit up like a Christmas tree with multiple alarms popping up and the truck continued to accelerate through the stop sign! I ended up getting the truck stopped in the middle of the intersection after I realized what just happened, luckily there was no one in front of me or at any of the stop signs as I went through! I was only 2 miles from mg house, so I took it slow, but the truck continued to accelerate each time I took my foot off the break! It was like hitting resume on your cruise control on the interstate after you slowed down. Finally made it home and took pictures of the alarms that were still present. Let my truck sit there for about an hour and started it up and it shows no messages stored but the check engine light is on. If tonight happened at a busier intersection, I could have put my family in a life-threatening situation! I have to other ways of transportation, I am taking a risk and putting others at risk driving to work.

Electrical System - Instrument Panel. The instrument cluster does not properly illuminate driver warnings. There is a current recall V83. My vehicle has this exact issue, but my VIN manufacture date did not fall within the recall manufacture dates, but it should have. Chrysler wants me to take the vehicle to a dealer for diagnosis, and pay almost $200 for it, to confirm that the instrument panel does not light up. Should not be necessary. There are no safety warnings being displayed because the display was what was recalled.

My ABS Brake Module failed with no warning until after failure. All dash warning lights illuminated after failure rear brakes locked up and would not release causing me to be stranded and requiring a tow service. Dealership confirmed failed ABS module and is currently being repaired but not covered by manufacturer resulting in out of pocket cost to myself. Truck has 57,408 miles on it.

Shifting autocorrect to park when driving. The vehicle has to turned off and turned back on in order to work. This is a huge safety hazard as it is shifting on its own especially when I have my toddler in my car. I have taken it to the dealership multiple times in the past year with no fix. They just reset it. And it continues to happen again and again. Please fix it not a temporary fix. Also, I keep getting a message on the display that says service shifter. Also the parking sensors keep becoming unavailable

Dodge Ram Rear Backup Camera Failure. Experienced multiple instances of backup camera failure. Problem was at first intermittent, as it became more regular truck was serviced at dealership. Wiring harness to camera replaced. Roughly 1 month later, problem returned. Returned to dealership for service, camera replaced. Roughly 1 month later problem returned. Performed online search of forums / message boards and discovered this is a common issue with 4th generation Ram pickups. Recommended online fixes are disconnecting camera from wiring harness in tailgate and re-connecting, or even simply jiggling the connection. A friend who also owns a 4th generation Ram suggested slamming the tailgate to fix. This (ironically) works and is less invasive than removing the tailgate inspection cover, and far better than leaving truck with dealer for a week. Still, the problem continues, frequently during change of temperature between seasons. I have small children, and am often driving locations where small children toddle about (daycare, parks, etc). Losing the rear view camera means I have no rearward visibility to see a small child behind this tall truck. If it fails in one of these locations I return the vehicle to park, get out, and slam the tailgate. I hope others who own these trucks take the time to do the same. This is a known problem identified on youtube and many message boards / forums. After the dealer repairs, when the problem occurred again I contacted Chrysler Cares and questioned if there was a recall or technical service bulletin related to the issue. I was told 'no'. I asked if some type of internal ticket or work order for engineering to investigate could be created and was told only dealerships could initiate investigations.

vehicle will not respond to keys and intermittently will start and drive then die in the middle of the road. Waring lights turn on then go off. truck will be fine for a few days then fail to start and completely drain the battery. Water is entering the vehicle cause moisture and mold on the carpet and possible cause of the electrical problems. when truck is off radio will turn on and off and dome lights flash

While driving vehicle comes out of drive and into neutral. The driver has to stop and cycle transmission into park and then back into drive leaving the vehicle in the middle of an intersection with heavy traffic. No warnings or messages pre or post event. Dodge dealership has ran a scan and also drove to recreate and was unsuccessful. There is many people experiencing this issue. Just google it. THIS WILL EVENTUALLY KILL SOMEONE.

On Jan 2nd 2023 I just left the grocery store with my youngest daughter and heading home. While on the freeway my 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie stopped accelerating even with my foot on the gas and my head lights shut off and dash lights were flickering and I lost complete power while making it to the next exit barely able to turn the wheel since no power steering was available and we made it about half way up the ramp and stalled completely. Yes I said up the off ramp and check the date it was SNOWING! WITH MY CHILD IN THE TRUCK. No power, no hazard lights NOTHING to keep us from getting hit. I was able to get it jumped went bought a AGM battery and by the time I drove back home which is about 2 miles the new BATTERY WAS DEAD. Bring it to the dealership after checking (voltages and that the battery can be and hold charge my OBD read only power drain with the battery and Engine dash lights illuminated. Can charge the battery and I would get about 45-60 min of driving because the battery wasn't being charged). I tell them it's the exact description of campaign (V87) 1. System unable to charge battery. 2. Losing power to everything. (Which could have killed us). 3. Only the battery and Engine lights are illuminated. This point to the MGU not working properly. However dealer ship told me it's not even close to that so I excuse them and asked them to repeat that and they said it was the 48v battery that went bad while quoting me $3,700 for the repair indicating it was out of warranty. With the age of these batteries die this soon on the E-torque systems that means EVERYONE WILL BE SPENDING AN AVERAGE OF $6,000-$9,000 EXTRA ON THE 48V BATTERY You need to do whats right and have this recalled immediately before someone has to die or worse a child dies.

When I went to go home at the end of the day on Friday, 2/3 around 6 pm the car would not start. I had to call someone to come & give me a jump start. I drove by the auto repair shop in the way home to have them check the battery, they couldn't tell me what was wrong only that the battery was low. On the way home I was turning left when everything started blinking and warning lights came on then everything died completely in the middle of the intersection. No lights, no power to anything. I had to wait 2 hours sitting in the middle of the intersection on a very dark night and almost got hit multiple times. The mechanics at the dealership working on the weekend couldn't figure out what was wrong so I had to wait until Monday, had to pay for a rental for the weekend. On Monday the mechanic was able to find a bulletin for the battery/generator system about a software update that needed to be done. Apparently since there wasn't a recall or complaint about the issue, it was not sent out as a required maintenance issue. This is absolutely crazy to me because it could have been a lot worse if I had been in a different situation when it stopped working. I have filled a complaint with Ram hoping it will go out to other truck owners so they don't find themselves in the same situation. The truck worked fine for a couple of days but when I went to leave the house yesterday, 2/12, Sunday, it clicked but wouldn't turn over.

Rear window seal is leaking which cracked the window frame allowing water to enter behind rear seat leaking onto the wireless control Module making it in operable. The vehicle would not start. This will become a safety issue when driving down the highway/local areas and you loose the module it shuts down the car no power at all. Power steering goes down breaks become more difficult to push. Chrysler knows about the leak but will not do anything. The suggested repair is to replace the rear window at $1600 and the Wireless Control Module. My vehicle had 26k miles on it and warranty ran out. I do have an extended Warranty but because the rear window was leaking the wireless control Module is not covered.

The vehicle lost power, and all of the service lights on the dashboard started lighting up, wipers turned on and off by themselves, headlights turned on and off. Most of the messages stated that service was required on AWD, shifter, parking assist, power steering, brakes...etc. The truck wasn't picking up speed and started shaking. At some point, I felt like the brakes were NOT responding. I was 2 minutes away from home, so I drove home and parked it. I found a few other 5th generation Ram owners online with the same issue. However, I just hit 40k miles on the car, and the basic warranty only covers until 30k miles. If this is a common problem, why isn't there a recall to fix the problem before someone crashes their truck, hurt themselves, or hurt someone else. This only adds to the water leaking from the back window problem.

We bought this truck used around September of last year and it took a couple of months to start having issues. First, when we would turn the truck on and it would crank, we would hear an occasional knock in the rear end. Like something being reemed out. Recently, one two separate occasions, two separate days, we were going to town and all of a sudden the A/C stopped working and extremely hot air started blowing through the vents and we couldn't turn it off or anything. The knobs to turn off the AC didn't turn it off. The only solution was to pull over on the side of the road and kill the truck and then crank it again. I can only imagine if someone else has this truck and a baby or even elderly was sitting in the vehicle and it changed over like this, it would've suffocated them within minutes, the heat was hotter than heat on a vehicle ever thought about being. Also, our backup camera has had moisture in it after a rain and throws up green lines across the screen. It also has had electrical issues, the radio and whole display will sometimes cut off when the brake pedal is pressed. The radio sometimes cuts off on its own or won't turn off when the button is pushed and sometimes this causes distraction to the driver. There has been a rattle in the steering wheel since we have gotten it. Of course, we have taken it to the dealer from where we bought it because we paid for an extended warranty but they can never find an issue because it doesn't do it while in their presence, even though we have pictures of the malfunction. Also, recently we have noticed that the truck doesn't want to take the gas. It will click off the gas probably 3 or 4 times before we can get the truck filled.

Vehicle lost power while driving and received an error message stating please shift truck into to Park to get to desired gear. Had to turn vehicle off while in traffic to get it moving again.

The issue is that as a result of faulty factory installation of the rear window and the resulting issues it caused that were beyond my control, I had to pay $2000 that the manufacturer will not cover. The truck rear window was installed improperly causing a slight leak that was not detectable unless the rear seats were removed. At the same time the third brake light gasket was also leaking, and these leaks were not detectable by any normal means. The result of the leaks was that the RF unit that allows all of the key fobs and the main start button to function was damaged thus rendering the truck unusable. Manufacturing defects like this could have caused my truck to fail while driving it and could have been a huge safety issue. Luckily that did not happen to me. The manufacturer should be held accountable for these types of production failures.
