In owners’ own words
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseFiled with NHTSA by the people who own these cars, about the electrical system. Quoted as written, with anything identifying removed; unverified reports — what was said, not a finding that it was true.
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
Back up camera will freeze and stop working. A loud tone will also sound and come through the speakers which will not stop until you turn the truck off and restart it. It is very distracting and unless you are in a safe place to do so can cause a hazard
While pulling onto a busy roadway the engine of my 2022 Ram 1500 with e-torque shut off and the emergency brake applied itself at about 10mph. This was accompanied by a check engine light and low battery voltage light. After the sudden stop I was almost rear ended by another truck on the road behind me.
The truck currently has 5804 miles. It has been to the dealership 4 times already for electrical-related issues, and once for a recall on the ECM. Total of 4 CILs by first 1000 miles. Then 1 additional light 8 days ago. Has been at service department since. The first major problem was at apx. 400 miles.
Radio will randomly switch sources and volume and speakers. This is very distracting and could cause an accident
