Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The vehicle will slam on the breaks if I am backing into a parking spot with any sort of vegetation. This happens way before I am anywhere close to being completely in the space. This could easily cause an accident and I have come very close multiple times. I have had to shut it off and the feature is unusable.”
NHTSA complaint #11479217, filed 2022-08“In traffic in a parking lot pulling into driveways slow speeds times it just would t stop and lunges forward about 5ft not safe took it to dealership service 2 times they can’t find the problem because there saying there’s no check engine lights on to find the problem I have just around 20k miles 2022 ram this is a safety issue I did read up one person having the same problem got into a accident”
NHTSA complaint #11494590, filed 2022-11“Having a different electrical issues with this vehicle since I purchased it, of course the warranty has fallen off after just bringing it in for diagnosis for different reasons. Now it’s winter time and the truck will not start without a jump. I took it to get tested. Everything came back One thing that stood out at the auto parts store that the dealership could not find, kind of frustrating. The report reads no valid data available for ESM on CAN - C or CAND-PT with the codes U1267x2 and u1267-00 power training system. …”
NHTSA complaint #11643282, filed 2025-02“I was backing out of my driveway and the rear view camera and rear sensors didn’t work. Due to vehicle in the road’s location and my mirrors view I could not see vehicle behind me and ran into the vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #11514653, filed 2023-03“I purchased my Ram 1500 5.7 2022 new last year. The vehicle has experienced multiple electrical failures. The infotainment screen stopped working, causing the backup camera to become inoperative. The horn no longer functions, the air conditioning stopped working, and the power windows will not roll down. These failures occurred without warning. The loss of the backup camera and horn creates a significant safety concern because they are important safety features. I am reporting this issue so NHTSA can determine whether this represents a safety-related defect affecting other Ram 1500 vehicles.”
