“I have dead pedal going on with my truck and when pulling out into traffic and truck does not go almost get hit by oncoming traffic and cause an accident and could end up deadly when the truck just losses the possibility to be limited to truck not being able to accelerate because it is having issues with the computer communicating with the sensor on the truck.”

“My 2022 Ram 2500 6.4L HEMI has a long crank/hard-start issue every morning. It takes 5–6 attempts to start when the vehicle sits overnight. After starting once, it runs normally the rest of the day. I also had issues where the truck struggled to start after refueling. I replaced the gas cap and EVAP purge valve, which improved the refueling issue, but the long-crank cold start continues. I suspect a fuel pump internal check-valve failure causing fuel pressure to bleed down overnight. …”

“The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor on my 2022 Ram 2500 failed, causing multiple system malfunctions. It triggered inaccurate Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) codes and showed abnormally high idle hours that do not reflect actual vehicle use. This defect is tied to a known issue identified by Stellantis in Technical Service Bulletin #18-002-24, which acknowledges improper MAF sensor calibration or compatibility on vehicles like mine. The bulletin was verbally confirmed by the dealership as applying to my truck. …”

“The DPF system failed prematurely at 68k. My truck as working fine with zero problems until I took it in for the Y43 safety recall July 2025. the dealership performed the software update without verifying if parts were in stock first. They took the part (dpf module) off a used truck from the lot and installed it on mine without asking me first. They told me they would call me when the parts became available. They never called so I took it in for a battery issue were the batteries were overheating and dying. I asked that they replace the used part and look into the fried battery issue. …”
