My sun visor detatched and fell on my head while driving causing me to swerve into the median. I took it in and was told it's a common issue for RAMs, The dealership called MOPAR to file a clain, MOPAR insists the sun visor is a trim and not a safety related vehicle component designed to keep the driver from being blinded by the sun.

My 2022 Ram sunvisor has a broken connection that caused it to come loose from the roof/ceiling and dangle in my line of sight while driving. This almost caused an accident for me as it startled me and I had to take my hands off the wheel to stop it from swinging by the electrical cord. It is a powered sunvisor with my garage door opener built in and that is the only reason it did not fall completely in my lap. I am hoping by reporting that other people may have had a similar issue and measures can be taken to stop this from happening to others. I went to the place where I purchased the vehicle and warranty to find out that this defect is not covered under warranty. For a vehicle that is only 2 calendar years old with 49,000 miles, this part should not fail. I am unable to add additional photos showing how far down in line of sight the visor falls. The website only uploads blanks.

The sun visors are made cheaply and have broken off of both the driver side and passenger side. This makes driving towards the sun really dangerous and blinding.

Driving through mountains in the month of June and it started to rain, temperature dropped suddenly causing the windshield to frost over. I turned on the defrost and nothing happened. I could feel it blowing air out but it wasn-??t clearing the windshield. We grabbed whatever we could find and tried clearing it but it didn-??t seem to help. My wife had to roll down her window so we could see the edge of the road. There was heavy traffic, could have been a fatal accident, VERY SCARY. We sat there for 15 minutes to a half hour before we felt safe enough to continue. It happened again about a year later. Have takin it to the dealer 3 times (2 different places) and they stated they couldn-??t do anything about it because the computer showed that there was nothing wrong. I have seen reports on this happening to other 2022 Ram 1500 trucks but mine is not included. The report stated the parts for defrost and A/C are not compatible. Very disappointing to have an $80,000 dollar truck and the defrost doesn-??t work.

HVAC problem when Defrosting windshield. When selected 100% Defrost. 85% airflow to feet and 15% to windshield. This does not clear the windshield creating a dangerous situation. I have even had the Defrost during heavy rain, it blows humid air onto my windshield fogging the windshield, then the a/c kicks in and dries the windshield and then the a/c shuts off and the windshield gets all fogged back up again. It keeps doing this in a cycle. I just picked up my truck from the dealer, they say it-??s normal. It is NOT normal to not be able to see clearly out your windshield.

There seems to be a design flaw in the Rams defrost system. The front defrost vent only produces air in the middle 12" of the 30" vent. With reduced to zero air coming out the outter ends of the vent, the drviers vision becomes extremely impaired in freezing and inclement weather. With the defrost on high, it can not timely remove the frosting or fogging of the window. Due to this design flaw I was in a near miss incident.

I reported the defrost problem previously. Reference # 11498898. The front window on the sides would not clear the ice. I had been driving for 45 minutes. Not much air comes out of the dash on the sides. I have since downloaded a video of my window instead of just a picture.

4 issues. #1 stereo screen says over heating shutting down #2 radio screen turns blue says screen overheating shutting down. Serius radio keeps removing from radio. #3 when braking the car will thrust forward as in a push, pushing you hard into the car stopped ahead of you. The harder the braking the harder the thrust/push. (this is a mager safety concern) its not if you get into a accident it is when. There is a problem with the 2022 Ram 1500 braking(either transmission or power train) but it is bad I almost got into several rear end collisions due to the Dodge thrust when braking. I spoke to someone else that actually works at the Dodge dealership and owns a 2022 Dodge ream and he stated his Dodge Ram has the same issue with the forceful thrust when breaking. This is a major safety issue. #4 electrical.

My defrost and heat will not operate correctly. A small area of the center windshield clears and that-??s it. After warming up and driving ten miles, nothing more cleared. The controls would not change and there was no heat. I could barely see to drive. This is a danger to my self and other drivers as it is snowing and iced up.
