2024 RAM 1500 Problems

The contact owns a 2024 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 MPH, the vehicle intermittently stalled and failed to return to normal operation. The braking, electronic stability control, and battery warning lights were illuminated. The failure had occurred on several occasions. The vehicle was towed to a dealer to be diagnosed; however, the cause of the failure was not yet determined. The vehicle was not repaired, and the failure persisted. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine control unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the generator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer again to be diagnosed, and it was determined that the braking system needed to be replaced. The dealer suggested that the vehicle no longer be driven. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 23,000.

While driving down the highway, the vehicle completely lost power and the driver was forced to wrestle the truck to the side of the road in traffic.

Heater Core Windshield fogging because of antifreeze fumes interfering with the HVAC Yes the issue has been confirmed by the dealer (Sansone Ram, NJ) I wasn't sure but kept smelling antifreeze in the cabin and the front windshield was interfering with my view in front of me. This Vehicle is a 2024 Ram 1500 with approx 46000 miles, just a little out of the basic warranty but this issue is not a wear and tear issue, way to early for this vehicle to have this kind of Problem.

I'm reaching out regarding my 2024 Ram 1500 that has approximately 45,850 miles. I was smelling anti freeze while heat was in the on position, along with the driver side front windshield fogging up immensely creating a visibility issue. (definitely a SAFETY ISSUE) I've been told by Sansone Ram in NJ that the heater core/HVAC has failed. I'm very familiar with automotives and know for sure that a heater core should not fail this early on a 2024 vehicle. This is clearly a PREMATURE FAILURE it's not normal wear and tear. This truck is still relatively new, has been maintained and serviced when needed with Sansone Ram in New Jersey. This should be a RECALL, this is NOT a wear and tear item especially the car is less then 3 years old with only 46000 miles. They are charging thousands of dollars because of a manufacturer Defect.....

I am reporting a catastrophic, cascading electrical and mechanical safety defect involving the central electronic network, hydraulic braking system, and the supplemental restraint system (SRS) on a 2024 Ram TRX.In the week leading up to the collision, the vehicle exhibited persistent electrical anomalies, specifically where the primary display screen/infotainment system would suddenly crash and go completely black while operating. On the day of the incident, while traveling at approximately 55 mph, I attempted to apply the brakes to avoid an obstacle. The brake pedal immediately went completely soft and "spongy," providing no adequate hydraulic pressure or braking force to slow the truck.Due to this sudden braking failure, the vehicle sustained a severe, high-velocity front-end collision. The driver was properly wearing their seat belt at the exact time of impact. Despite massive front-end structural deformation directly inside the vehicle's primary sensor zones, the steering wheel, knee, and side curtain airbags completely failed to deploy. Due to this non-deployment during a high-speed impact, the driver sustained head trauma and was knocked unconscious. The vehicle subsequently rolled over, coming to a final rest overturned on its right side. The vehicle’s event data recorder (EDR) data buffer was later overwritten during subsequent post-crash handling/ignition cycles before data could be locked.The prior display blackouts combined with a simultaneous loss of braking pressure and restraint system failure strongly point to a systemic CAN bus or module power failure. I request a formal federal investigation into the electrical architecture, braking modules, and airbag control module (ACM) thresholds for this vehicle class.

The driveshaft boot fell apart or came loose and contacted the emission system exhaust piping and eventually caught on fire. The whole underside was in flames and it was extinguished by the passengers. The unit could have completely caught on fire as the gas tank is close by. Killing the passengers and igniting the mountainside on fire. The vehicle will be towed to a dealership for inspection by the insurance company and the dealership.

I am filing this complaint regarding my 2024 Ram 1500 and unresolved defects that I reported while the vehicle was still covered by the bumper-to-bumper warranty. My primary concern is the steering and handling. I reported multiple times that the steering wheel is crooked, the truck pulls to the left, and the vehicle does not drive or track correctly. These complaints began before the bumper-to-bumper warranty expired. I was told that the vehicle needed an alignment and four new tires. I followed those recommendations and paid for both, but the problem never went away. The issue has now become a serious safety concern. At highway speeds, the front end wobbles and shakes significantly. I am concerned about the safety and stability of the vehicle and believe the steering, suspension, or other front-end components need to be properly inspected and diagnosed. Stellantis and the dealership now appear to be relying on the fact that the bumper-to-bumper warranty has expired, even though I began reporting and attempting to repair this same problem while the warranty was still active. The truck has also had issues with the sunroof/headliner, Uconnect system, and driver-side window button, but my main concern is the unresolved steering and front-end problem. I am requesting that Stellantis fully diagnose and repair this previously reported defect at no cost to me and provide an appropriate remedy if the vehicle cannot be safely and permanently repaired.

As I was about to pull into my driveway my accelerator did not respond to braking I was going very slow about to make a left turn , less than 10mph Just As I started the left turn the wheel became unresponsive and the accelerator did not deccelerate At the same time my control panel seemed to glitch/flash I put both feet on the brake and stood on it as the truck continued forward until it struck the mailbox The truck stopped at that point but I could still hear the rear wheels turning on the road until I put it into park

My vehicle is equipped with an automatic engine stop/start feature that shuts off the engine when the vehicle is stopped, as well as an eTorque system intended to assist with initial acceleration. While stopped at an intersection with a slight downhill grade (foot fully depressing the brake pedal), the auto stop/start feature engaged and the engine shut off. When I released the brake to make a right turn, neither the engine nor the eTorque system reengaged. As a result, the vehicle rolled forward under its own momentum into oncoming traffic. I immediately reapplied the brake to stop the vehicle. At that point, the vehicle unexpectedly shifted itself into Park, even though the engine never restarted. I then pressed the ignition button to turn the vehicle off and back on in order to restart the engine. After restarting, I was able to shift into Drive and move into the traffic lane just in time to avoid a collision. A crash was avoided only because oncoming vehicles were able to change lanes to avoid striking my vehicle. At the time of the incident, the vehicle had more than one-third of a tank of fuel, fewer than 33,000 miles, and has been serviced exclusively at the dealership. This incident occurred at the intersection of Riverbend Road and Park Road in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Truck has auto start/stop for fuel efficiency. It automatically engages on startup. Truck is prone to sudden unexpected acceleration when it is engaged. Has almost caused 3 wrecks with my truck. Dealership says they know about the problem and that I should just turn it off everytime I get in the truck. This will kill somebody some day. I forgot to turn it off today and it almost caused me to rear-end another vehicle while at a stoplight.

The turn signal switch activates the wipers sometimes. And sometimes the wipers ghost and run by themselves for no reason at all. This is very distracting and it has started to scratch the windshield. VERY DANGEROUS when travelling down the interstate at 70MPH and the wipers screech across the windshield all by themselves............PLEASE HELP.

The airbag system failed to deploy during a front-end collision. Despite significant damage to the front of the vehicle, none of the airbags activated. Yes, the vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The driver (my husband) hit his head on the steering wheel due to the airbags not deploying, which put his safety at serious risk. The lack of airbag deployment increased the chances of injury during the impact. The problem has not yet bee confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. We are in the process of having the vehicle inspected. The vehicle was seen by police and today insurance representatives will inspect it. However, the manufacturer has not yet inspected the airbag system No warning lights or messages were present before the accident. There were no signs that the airbag system was malfunctioning.

The tailgate latches will not close or open properly. The latch on the tailgate has moved inwards causing it to hit the pegs in the wrong position. It will not close and if it does latch it can pop open. When it did open it didn’t indicate the tailgate was down. I’m a general contractor and have a lot of tools/material in the bed of the truck. I’m worried something could have fallen out unbeknownst to be and caused an accident.

I bought a new Dodge Ram 1500 pickup truck from Lindsay CDJR located at 8100 Centreville Road Manassas VA 20111 on [XXX] and on [XXX] I noticed there are missing rear wheel shields on both sides of the truck. I called the Dealership and spoke to the salesman that sold me the car Said Hashemi and I sent him pictures of the missing parts and exposed wires and undercarriage and parts. He told me I could go to a local dodge dealership and get a quote for the parts and that dealership could call him and he would arrange for a charge to the Linsay dealership. I did this the same day 10/23/2024 and got a quote of $809.14 When I called from that local dealership Garden City Dodge in New York Said Hashemi then spoke to the sales Manager Mike Tatum who said they would not pay for them. These shields are essential to safe operation of the vehicle, and it is a safety hazard to have exposed wiring and parts that will fail as a result. The fact that they make that part to protect the wiring and other parts is De Facto evidence that they are needed. It is also deception and negligence on the part of the dealership to sell a vehicle with missing parts. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

2024 Ram 1500. Approximately four weeks off the dealer lot new. Approximately 1,300 miles. The vehicle had never been involved in any sort of accident, hitting of a pothole or curb. As I was traveling down a secondary road at approximately 30 miles per hour, the rear-left wheel separated from the vehicle without warning. This caused extensive damage to both the Ram and another vehicle that was later struck by the wheel. This occurred at approximately 11:00 PM. Upon inspection of the wheel, we noticed one of the lug studs was sheared off. The next day we returned to retrace the route I took that night to see if we could find any of the lug nuts. Approximately 500 from the point where I exited the parking lot, we located one lug nut with the stud sheared off still inside. Approximately three miles up the road from that location is where the wheel separation occurred. We were able to recover four lug nuts within 200 feet of that location. I had only had this vehicle for four weeks and had not, nor had I any reason to have loosened or taken off any of the wheel components. Manufacturing defect seems to be the only reasonable explanation. I have in my possession five lug nuts, one with the stud sheared off. The vehicle and wheel are currently at a Ram dealership awaiting inspection by the manufacturer and insurance company. Our safety was put at risk because the vehicle experienced a violent jerking and lurching and could have flipped or collided into another object. The dislocated wheel could have killed the people in the car that were hit by it. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? I do not know. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Currently ongoing. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No.
